Nice answer (and username).
Also because if you have to ask, you aren't going to make it. The only way to pull your weight as a non-technical co-founder is to already have lots of connections with money, and if you have that, engineers will already be beating a path to your door. If you don't, you're going to fail anyway, and your inability to find an engineer to co-found your company is the least of your problems.

There are really only two jobs in an early-stage startup: engineer and money man. If you're not building the product, and you're not bringing money in the door either, you're not helping. "Idea guy" is not a job.

It's interesting to note that Go doesn't depend on libc. However, I rather doubt the Go runtime bootstraps any faster than libc, so it probably wouldn't help here. One consequence is that Linux and libc are tightly coupled and some of the "syscall" behavior you depend on is actually implemented as a wrapper in libc. This has caused some behavioral differences between Go and C that have surprised the language developers.

OK, here are the numbers from the CDC ( http://www.cdc.gov/chickenpox/vaccination.html ): 4 million cases annually, 10,600 (0.265%) required hospitalization, and 100 to 150 (0.0025% to 0.0037% of the 4 million cases) deaths.

Certainly going from 100-150 deaths a year to fewer than 10 is a significant improvement, and the 90-140 people who survive each year who wouldn't are grateful (or would be, if they knew what the alternative was). But we are talking about a very small risk.

Mozilla is a political organisation. Aside from the fact that developing free, privacy-focused software is an inherently political thing to do, they have the Mozilla Manifesto[0], which states (the relevant bits here being singled out):

> Individuals’ security and privacy on the Internet are fundamental and must not be treated as optional.

> We will [...] use the Mozilla assets (intellectual property such as copyrights and trademarks, infrastructure, funds, and reputation) to keep the Internet an open platform [and] promote the Mozilla Manifesto principles in public discourse and within the Internet industry.

For me at least: it's the idea of making a public pronouncement that you support some political view (because that's easy). Then you do something that, at least on the face of it, goes against that position when there could be business repercussions (because that's hard).

Capture is fine. Summary execution of POWs is a war crime.

Again, not a political assassination (as you said, he had no political involvement). That's an outright fuckup.

A service choosing not to censor, and then potentially being censored in turn by ISPs in another nation, could be costly, sure. It wouldn't seem to be in the same ballpark as a military invasion of another nation? (Honestly though, when has a USA military invasion ever actually been about enforcing ideals?)

I am surprised the author avoids the two obvious counter-arguments completely. One, jokes are generally very short. 5 words, 10 words. This is not comparable to a song, or a book, or a movie. I'm not saying a lot of creative effort doesn't go into crafting of a joke, but its rare that a joke takes 4 months to create. That reduces the perceived value of a joke (time invested to create) to almost nothing. And lets be honest, most jokes are created in a few seconds.

Second, Twitter intentionally limits the size of a tweet. So the nature of the medium adds an incentive to chop off the name of the author or be forced to remove words or abbreviate. This makes the joke less funny.

Here's the crazy thing about SEO - specifically SEO in relation to Google. This is a gut feeling based on over 10 years of building sites primarily with organic traffic:

I don't think you should try to do "best practices" with SEO. Over the past couple of years, I feel like Google is penalizing sites that try to dot all the i's and cross all the t's. And why shouldn't they? White hat SEO is still gaming the system in a way. In google's eyes, the pages that contain the very best content for humans should show up higher in search, despite them not being optimized for SEO.

I've been seeing more success with pages that are not optimized, pages for which I didn't pay any attention to SEO. The content on those pages are geared for humans and contain great info, that's it. I don't pay attention to URL, title tags, meta tags, etc. Google is getting very good at filtering this out, not sure if they have a team of humans that are whitelisting sites now, but I've given up on trying to optimize for SEO and it's worked wonders.

1. dictator

Putin is de facto ruler of Russia since 2000. He changed consitution to allow him to still be in power. He shut down free press, introduced laws persecuting minorities (homosexuals for example), was involved in election falsification.

2. evil

Putin annexed part of Ukraine (Crimea), his army is occupying other parts of it (Lughansk and Donetsk) and invading further west. Russian army is also in parts of Moldova and Georgia against their will.

The fact that Americans aren't always the good guys change nothing. I can show you many bad guys, this doesn't mean we should stop naming them.

The fact that he has huge support in Russia also change nothing - Hitler had huge support too (especially after sucessfull campaigns).

Putin is evil dictator and should be stopped.
It's the "save our children" argument -- the very same argument the UK's Cameron et al are using to propel new legislation like banning all non back-doorable encryption, and so-called "porn filters" a la blanket censorship of whatever the gov't deems censor-worthy (sometimes even political content).

They spread fud and fearmonger the general population into believing something must be done to prevent all of this "law enforcement circumventing" encryption and anonymity (aka. privacy)...

You know... because only criminals use encryption and anonymity tools. Only criminals have anything to hide; that they don't want other individuals and criminals (and government) to obtain.

Forget all the good and valid reasons for encryption and privacy! Like protecting your medical records... protecting your financial records... your private correspondence... or the very ability to enter your credit card information on a website and trust it can't be MITM'ed. Only criminals want any of that.

It's rubbish to say the least.

Losing my job last year made me re-evaluate a lot of aspects of my life, since April, I spent time off the internet; though to be fair, until September, a good chunk of my 'offline' time was burying my head in a bottle.

Weekends, after starting to overwork again, have stopped being for the internet and more for phone calls, or outside, or cooking epic food. Anything analog. Digital will still be there if I grab my phone, but, I'm trying to remember and learn how to live life in 3d.
That is a silly comment. Of course you can and often should break laws you don't agree with, even when you're an individual versus a nation. Or would you be fine complying with sharia because some backwater on the other side of the globe said so?
Yeah not disagreeing with you at all. It doesn't work the same way "concurrency-focused languages" generally work right now, but it does share the message-passing philosophy with them.

> "in politics and journalism, plagiarism remains a serious, even career-killing charge. So why is it any different when it comes to jokes online"

This is just a bad comparison.

The difference between the two cases is that the people stealing jokes online aren't professional comedians. The correct comparison to the average person stealing a joke online is to a professional politician who ... steals a joke online. Telling jokes isn't in their job description so it's considered something they do in their spare time. And unless your hobby crosses a line and reflects poorly on your profession, no-one cares about your hobby.

However, if you're a comedian stealing jokes (online or off), the charge remains a very serious and career-damaging charge. True, no-one particularly cared about a random twitter parody account stealing jokes but that's because it's also not a professional comedian's work. (Or at least not identifiable as such.) If that account were unmasked as the work of a professional comedian, we'd see a much different reaction.

As to the content mills and people reposting content without attribution -- that's its own problem, larger than jokes.
The week before Christmas so about 5 weeks ago. I booked a very nice hotel in Nha Trang for a 3 day trip and not taking my computer was a very deliberate choice.

I didn't suffer from any withdrawal symptoms, although I napped a lot (which I normally never do) but that had more to do with 1) not sleeping well the night before on the way there and 2) my employer knowing I was unreachable.

All the React code I've written tends to be much more functional/declarative in nature than OO. When writing web frontend code, there is the giant blob of state known as the DOM that has to be dealt with in some way. More than anything else, React allows you to treat the view as "create a function that transforms data into DOM elements", handling the state diffs itself.
