"Before that the first Gulf War was again a successful intervention."

Successful? You must be joking or only talk about US and UK side.

First Gulf war was a disaster. The US and UK invaded a country and asked the locals to support them, but then they went away. So Saddam took all the people that supported US and UK and simply killed them.

First GW only served one purpose, to claim hegemony of the US military on the war after the cold war and fall of the wall, that there was only one military ruler in the world.

But it was a disaster form an strategic point of view, killing all your supporters in one country, then killing the other side,thus creating a power vacuum as no educated elite is left, creating a failed state.

Remember that Saddam was a US ally and now we know he asked US what will happen if they invaded Kuwait. The US said it was none of their business. Of course it was.
BTW, using this trick, I managed to get root in your VM. I assume you have it logged and can see how (was hitting http://repl.it/jND/13 if that helps you locate it); it wasn't anything particularly clever. I didn't do much beyond that. Having no network access limits the possibilities. :)

Well, you didn't seem so upbeat when your ex-allies practiced some 'nation building' on 9/11. Things don't look so heroic when happen in your own backyard, do they?
It has failed if after 1-2 years you can't see any incremental improvement or growth (although I've seen successful startups who have found their product/market fit after 2 years of trial and error). Don't get fooled by the quick success stories, these are myths or exceptions.

Doing custom dev work to keep the lights on is OK. Many do that. It also gives you time to evaluate your current project and look at it as a bystander, which is hard to do in the everyday grind of startup life.
Using (boot2)docker/docker-machine+virtualbox and mapping a volume to the host OS (which is trivial) might be viable.

You are working in country which as to pay for things like roads, military, firemen, police, health services, schools, pensions using taxes from companies and citizens living there and this country is not seeing a single euro from you (which are taking advantage of the infrastructure paid by those taxes).

Sure, there are plenty of people doing that, just as there are companies registered in the Cayman or Gibraltar, or people having secret Swiss bank accounts.
That's the biggest problem to me here. We're not even talking about the Internet, we're talking about the web. The web is wonderful and its simplicity has allowed it to grow where it is today, but it's not the only way to use the internet and, most importantly, it's not the hammer that hits all nails. I fear this is the greatest threat in the long term.

That's not the point. It is just not used by the software itself.

I like the GUI of my Lisp Machine. But very very few people use it and it is behind the times in many ways.

Pointing out that it is dated and clunky is not 'hating' it. If somebody asks me how a UI for development tool should look like, I would point out the importance of a native look and feel. Lighttable for example. A recent development. It's not really native. It uses complex web stuff on the desktop. Fail.

True, cross-platform development is tough. But it's somewhat possible. Example: https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/
Mh, well, I'm just seeing now that I started writing about SJS [1] and didn't finish my point about Lens… And nobody pointed out that I was off-topic?

So what I was going to append to my first paragraph is this:

In that respect, it's nice to see that Lens is open source, but the title is still a bit misleading: from what I understand Lens is "only" a novel way of presenting/reading papers, not a journal management system (which requires many features such as managing the peer-reviewing process).

- modern warfare to evolve (devolve?) into something that has more in common with a RTS video game than 'conventional' warfare, where soldiers have more in common with today's professional eSports gamers.

- the surge in anti-drone technology, including anti-drone drones, and the inevitable escalation there (stealth drones?)
> How would you expect this to be remotely legal ?

If you pay taxes (in Italy, say) on the income from your company, wherever it happens to be.

I get the impression that it's all something of a legal gray area. It'd be a lot simpler if people could easily have companies in their own countries.

I'm all for paying one's fair share of taxes on income in the country you live in. What I intensely dislike about the laws in Italy surrounding companies is that there are all kinds of expenses that have to be paid even if you are losing money.
I sent my three children to Summerhill - the youngest is still there. I think your impressions were correct - I certainly consider it to have been a great success.
One of the kids was of an academic bent, she studied hard and now seems happily set on an academic career. The other two boys are obsessed with music, and got/are getting the minimum number of qualifications to allow them to go to music college. That seems to be a common pattern at the school - kids figure out what they want to do, the qualifications needed (if any) and get them. Of course, being teenagers, they're perfectly capable of screwing up - but I think, if anything, putting responsibility for their lives in their own hands makes that _less_ likely, rather than more.

One other data point I have concerns bullying. On my first visit we attended one of the meetings where there was a case about some young boys, around 12, who had been picking on one of the kids. On older boy, maybe 14/15 at the time, tore into them. His outrage was something to behold. I remember thinking that if I was 12, and a teacher had disciplined me for bullying, my attitude would have been 'yeah whatever' - but to have an older boy do the same would certainly have had an effect.

I'm lucky to have been able to afford this - if I couldn't I'd probably opt for unschooling, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unschooling. Having had experience of democratic education, I now view mainstream schools as as somewhat bizarre, unpleasant institutions, and certainly wouldn't want to send my kids to one.

A LLC is a burden on the country if you go bankrupt. So obviously you need to show that you have enough money. Are you sure about the rules? I was taught (though ages ago), that you could basically get a short loan for the amount. Further, it was more like 10k IIRC.

I'm surprised you think the rules should be eased. An LLC is pretty often abused for fraud. Putting everything in an LLC, letting it go bankrupt, moving to the next one, etc.

I could get a job in a large company, at what I thought was an absurd salary, after I was done with my startups. At a time when I thought no one in their right minds would give me a job, given all the crap I'd done in my startups (and done no one thing for 3-4 years).

I truly liked your point. Just one tiny detail: you don't really look to be against OS per se, but against the current movement that is basically pushing to open everything and do stuff that nobody really need.

I was thinking about funding projects (f.e.) like Grails, recently left alone by Pivotal and rescued by Apache. I am against funding blindly too, but my point is to fund projects that already have defined a list of features, milestones and delivery time.

But is this really political? In that this is information that is beneficial to a democratic society to have out in the open? Or is it something being done to embarrass a political rival which only serves the interest of a single party?

Because it really looks to me more like the later. Not that I feel sorry for Sony, but do they as a private-sector company not have a right to privacy? There's been a lot of talk lately about wanting to improve the state of privacy on the internet. Through pervasive encryption, controls on data collection, net neutrality, and limiting government surveillance. And then, because Sony happens to be unpopular, they get hacked and data stolen from them. I'm supposed to celebrate this breach of privacy? This tells me that if I value my own privacy I should be careful not to do anything that makes Julian Assange unhappy.

So no, I'm not going to join in the anti-Sony lynch mob. Privacy, like free speech, is something that if you value it for yourself you must defend it at all times, even if you disagree with who is using it.

$1300, what an absolute joke.
Looks interesting but 2 concerns:

1) On the releases (https://github.com/devgeeks/Encryptr/releases) it supports many platforms, but it seems to be only the client, being the server only offered as a cloud solution. It would be much more appealing if the source code of the server was also open source and you could host it on your own server

2) It claims to be zero-knowledge and suggests you to store your credit-card information and passwords there. Going back to point 1, if you could self-host it you could trust it more, but if you can't how can you know that it's not a very elaborate honey-pot to make the tin-foil crowd give up their most valuable secrets and data, including credit-card info and passwords?
Not really, company is separate entity, I think your are confusing it with self-employment.
I'm not really a fanboy, so maybe my expectations are lower. I think Apple are doing a good job. I admire what I think of as Apple's unique quality: the product/marketing/tech strategy.

Apple insist on charging a premium. In addition they prefer to play the above median range of the market. Apart from first-to-market "freebies" they don't play for dominant market share. They insist on that premium, at the expense of market share and other trade-offs.

They don't play for check box ticking. They don't adjust to appeal to mobile service companies, IT purchasing departments or other buyers that make decisions about what other people will use. IE, it's not corporate sales departments dictating strategy according based on short term sales.

In order to get their premium they make stuff appealing enough to a subset of people that they are willing to spend their own money, pay that premium and get the thing that they decided they want for themselves. To make a stretched, contrived and over-complimentary analogy.. It's like a politician who wants to convince the voting public to join him in his position vs a politician that checks the polls to find out what his positions are.

Like I said, I don't have that much loyalty to Apple. I don't buy iphones because androids @ half the price are pretty good. I'd be interested if Apple puts out a laptop with a sub €500 price, but I'm not cranky if they don't have one. When they do happen to have a product that I buy for whatever reason, I'm usually on the fence mostly because of price but fairly well impressed once if I buy it.

But….I suspect the €1000+ laptop market is going to keep shrinking, and it's getting harder to justify buying a macbook. I still expect to get years out of the one I have, but I wouldn't be surprised if I opt for a €200 something when the time comes. Unless… Apple happens to be making something I'm willing to pay extra for at the time.
I haven't seen this behavior with cars; but, as a cyclist, I use them to figure out if I can make it through an upcoming intersection or not.

What's annoying is the lack of a standard action when the countdown timer reaches zero. At some intersections, the timers are set so that the yellow light is the last second or two and zero is when the traffic light changes to red. Other hit zero and then the traffic light changes to yellow. Some hit zero and a number of seconds pass before the traffic light changes to yellow.

The science is much less settled on the link between testosterone and personality than you think.

Some interesting discussion of it here:
http://www.nature.com/scitable/blog/cognoculture/testosteron...

It's hard to tease out what behaviour is culturally learnt and what is caused by innate biological differences. Folk wisdom about testosterone is just one example. The downside is that these "biotruths" are used as justification for discrimination.

Ugh, kernel drivers will always have bugs and that cannot be isolated from the user all the time. As you stated, the decisions Microsoft took got them to their throne.

I've switched to OSX but i still use Windows 10 on my other laptop and Windows 8.1 on my gaming PC and haven't had a bluescreen since Vista. I literally have never seen it for years. I was shocked to see it changed appearance in a screenshot in an article about Windows 8. And the "upgrade" to Yosemite has completely destroyed my wifi stability, made the system sluggish (Safari even decides to stop smooth scrolling after a few hours), boot time has pretty much doubled with the same amount of apps installed (SSD too).
Mo anecdote. I'm unable to update to Win8.1. It keeps asking me to, I've tried twice and it's downloaded everything, it installs, reverts, gives me error id 0x80070002 - 0x20009.

Now I'm being badgered every week to update. This is not the user experience I'm looking for.

I'm not sure that 1 or 2 successful interventions make a heroic period. And the First Gulf War was a farce. What has occurred in Iraq since is directly related and the stationing of troops in Saudi during the conflict had a profound influence on many, including Bin Laden. Intervention is always complex but this was a disaster.
This is something that could easily be accomplished with finite element modelling of the stresses on the solids involved. There are a lot of variables though, including the range of torques, the manufacturing tolerances on your screw heads and bits, the hardness of the alloys used, not to mention practical choices like being able to use the same driver for multiple types of screw head.

NETFLIX CEO ON THE TV INDUSTRY: It had a great 50-year run, but it's over now
> That is changing

Recently I challenged myself to learn more about USB, HID devices and kernel development, so I partially reverse engineered and wrote a driver for the Xbox One controller. This is great and all, but it needs to be signed for people to use it without lowering a level of defense. Turns out you don't just need to be an Apple Developer, you also need to make a special request and regenerate your certificate, which needs to have a special extension, else it'll be rejected by the kernel signing system. Not the least worried I pony up 99€ (not a dev), submit a request, and an automated mail tells me I'll have a reply under 7-10 business days. So I wait 2 months, and, slightly worried since I have no reply yet, I submit again. That was 13 days ago[0].

I used to think that GateKeeper was great technology and that things will be okay. Now I have doubts: does Apple really care about its developers? How long before the kext-dev-mode boot arg disappears and kernel space becomes inaccessible to mortals?

I have ran startup for around two years and It was failed.
Below are reason to shown us as a failed startup
1. Market size was very less as we were expecting(we came to know about this later)
2. Investment was too high compare to ROI. And that too need to wait for couple of years to start revenue.
3. Scale was very difficult.
