I wonder what we would found if we got a look into the source of these systems. As far as I know BMW's software heavily depends on Free/Open Source Software and for the other'S since we are in the embeded enviroment I could imagine the same. Would make my day if these companies would suddenly get the tables turned and instead of Copyright it would be a Copyleft issue.
The EvoNexus incubator takes 0% equity and would give us free office space, $25K in yearly Amazon (AWS) credits, and exposure to VC's if we had gone the funding route. Our office is actually in the same building as EvoNexus (11th floor vs. 2nd floor), so it seemed like a logical fit.

As you said, though, it turns out it was just much easier to bootstrap the entire thing since it starts paying off really quickly.

In a sense, but they're subject to a tragedy of the commons (that's almost the definition of a negative externality), so competition does not improve them.
The problem is that we use the internet for more than just sites, we use it for web applications now too. Making sure the site works without javascript is usually possible, but often much more work. For sites that are presenting information to me, or where I'm interacting in a minimal way, a well defined static interface is preferable. For complex applications, I would definitely prefer a more rich experience than is provided by HTML+CSS and HTTP (although with HTML5 it's not as bad as it used to be).

The Shoe That Grows with the Kid
This is getting meta and no longer directly responsive to the article, which I don't wholly disagree with. A tractor and a book are different situations.

Books are hard to copy, while files are easy to copy. Writers have to get paid, and people are cheap and don't want to pay them... even while they will pay the same for a fancy cup of coffee. Hence a scramble for some way to set up a toll booth that is hard to circumvent... DRM, streaming, proprietary reading platforms like Kindle, etc.

Stallman is absolutely right and was a visionary for seeing this when he did, but he doesn't get the full breadth of the problem. In his world, the creators of things starve. People can't have freedom because they want "free," which means slavery for the producers of content. (Someone who works for nothing is the definition of a slave.) Stallman can ignore this side of the equation because he is a tenured academic. It doesn't matter to him that nobody pays for his work.

What we need is some kind of open digital rights tracking system that does not rely on hardware locks and that lets certain bits of information behave like physical objects with physical characteristics. It's a hard problem, but hard problems get solved. I used to think cryptocurrency was impractical in practice. Maybe something can be done with homomorphic encryption. Too bad nobody is working on this because everyone still thinks we can make everything "free" and (magic happens here) and the creators of things can somehow still eat.

Okay, but when's the last time a piece of real estate ran over a child? I'm being a bit drastic, sure, but we're talking about a mobile, several thousand pound object. As your link shows, the notion of casaulty with respect to liability still engages the owner / lessor with obligations with respect to legal standards. The NNN lease may exist, but it's not a very palatable notion, IMO, especially when applied to something like a vehicle.

It can make the difference between a successful harvest or not; but neither strategy is a guarantee. As an example, if you have your cotton defoliated and then your harvester goes on strike for two or more days, any rain in the interim will destroy your crop.

Hiring a farmhand is cheap. Really, they work for almost nothing. But; the ones who know how to run the equipment are busy at harvest time.

I noticed a different flavor of this same logic with edited DVD's back in the 2000's. In Utah, there was a thriving edited DVD rental business during this time. Essentially, Mom and Pop shops would buy a DVD, take out the sex, language, and violence, and rent the edited version.

Hollywood complained that these companies were illegally making copies, so the mom and pop rental stores started to include the original copy as well with the edited copy, to prove that they were not making illegal copies.

Ultimately, all of these companies were put out of business because the courts ruled that just because you bought a DVD, you don't have the rights to modify it because it causes "irreparable injury to the creative artistic expression in the copyrighted movies". I find it interesting that the issue was harming the creative artistic expression, not financial at all, since, they were not pirating the films, so in truth, Hollywood was selling more DVD's since people who wouldn't normally watch a movie with 75 f-words in it, might actually watch the edited version.

Of course, in today's world, there's not many products that we can buy that did not have artistic expression involved in building that product. My house was artistically designed by an architect, if I don't like the kitchen, would I offend his artistic expression by remodeling? My phone was definitely "designed", but maybe I don't like showing off the apple logo on the back, so I put a cover on it, am I offending the artistic expression? If I'm not able to modify a product, do I really own it at all?

I'm with you on the memory thing. It kinda scares me since I'm boot strapping my startup. Linode $10/1 GB server is really tempting. Fortunately, I think that even with a few smaller Linode instances, I can reasonably base on ArangoDB such that I scale it when my app needs to scale.

To press on about issue one, in a general sense, what I like about ArangoDB is the thoughts behind it and the continous execution of those thoughts. Is memory an issue? Possibly. Is the team aware of memory-mapped files' limitation? Yes. Will they improve in future release? Probably based on the excellent work they've produced in the past.

Their implementation of graphs is interesting to the general point. ArangoDB presently stores relationships in a collection. This won't scale. Neo4J's free book on graph databases explains why[1]. Fortunately, the ArangoDB team has a graph API (I'm in the process of implementing that now for Clojure [2]). This means, when they move to a more scalable architecture, I and anyone who use the API should be golden.

By the way, I'm a proponent of ArangoDB. Just in case that wasn't clear. I've got several projects for it.

Thank you for your reply. While you said my comment wasn't especially negative, I understand that the first sentence could have been taken that way, and that's probably the reason for the downvotes. It's just that I've seen people yelling 'DUPE' since the first year of Slashdot, and it seems like every site has some who make it their personal mission to rain on OP's parade.

I love the idea of stopping the 'split discussion' issue, but I feel like it's at odds with a site like HN where stories fall off of the front page so quickly. I'm not able to read it all day long, and I rarely look at it in the evenings. Especially when we have articles about potential gaming of the article positions, it seems unrealistic to expect that you would have a chance to actually get the real 'news' at any given point without duplicate posts.

What I mean is, there are certainly more than 30 in-progress topics appealing to HN readers. If I look at the front page in the morning and again in the afternoon, I'm only going to get a small subset of the topics that are out there. That's why I appreciate duplicates so much... it's really the only thing that makes a site like HN relevant to the occasional reader.

Anyway, thanks for supporting me even though I wasn't the most ambassadorial. :)

Reddit shows "percentage upvoted" (which is accurate, while upvotes and downvotes are fuzzed).
I've worked on way too many projects where things went "Hey, you just delivered the big load to QA? Well, we think the customer wants features X, Y, and Z on top of what you've already written, but we're not budging on the release date, so you better pull the load from QA and start working 16-hour-days and coming in on weekends. Oh, and if it breaks after being delivered to the customer, we'll throw QA under the bus because QA failed to do proper soak testing, and we'll have QA throw you under the bus because you didn't give them time to soak since we're making you develop right up to the night before launch." to trust any process where features can be added after development begins.
You're only going to do TLS encrypt/decrypt in one place, so in that particular case... something is wrong.

However, the scenario you describe is one where you would likely NOT be doing defense in depth, because you'd be using the same library to handle a vital piece of your security infrastructure.

Regardless, when a shared library is updated for security, you don't need to apply updates to packages using the shared library. That's kind of the point. The only exception is when the flaw is in the interface to the library.

The win entirely derives from the case of having the two independent vulnerabilities. Since they are broken in their own ways it isn't sufficient to find a way to exploit one system (which would work great for attacking a system with both). You have to find a way to exploit each, and you have to find a way to connect the two so you can get all the way through.
:-) True. 1955 < my_dob
Yeah, that's also true. It's very rare that I need to travel to a place that requires a car to get to, so I can spend on Uber in those cases, and that allows me to not own a car.

However, this isn't the way a lot of people use Uber; at least where I live a lot of people use Uber because it's faster and more comfortable than public transportation, not because public transportation doesn't get them where they need to. I've seen business school students (i.e. students who have cash to burn) frequently take Uber between MIT and Harvard for god's sake. There's direct bus and subway service, but it involves a 5 minute walk on both ends, they're too lazy to look it up, and don't want to wait outside.

> Whittinghill says this is likely a result of “change blindness,” a perceptual phenomenon that allows our perceptual system to ignore objects that we see over and over again.

Uhhh, that's not what change blindness is at all. It sounds more like vanilla sensory adaptation. Our visual system has adapted to the presence of our nose in our visual field (since it's always there), which is why we don't notice our noses in day to day life and don't notice a virtual nose placed at the same location.

> filled with commenters writing in broken English that there was no bubble for X, Y, Z reasons.

This is one of the biggest misconceptions. What we think of as "shills" do not and would not speak in broken English. It would run completely contrary to their ultimate goal of "swaying public opinion". Being unable to communicate efficiently would not be effective propaganda. It would be so obvious and that's precisely what they're trying to avoid.

Hell, A country could (and some probably do) outsource the work to 'reputation management' companies who employ people that are native speakers of a particular language. Subcontracting the work out would also provide a layer of separation if they get caught. The government has plausible deniability, "We didn't know that's what they were doing! We thought they were doing this other thing!".

Digg.com had to send a cease and desist letter to one Chinese propaganda wing to get them to stop mucking up their website. Those individuals were not speaking in broken English. They may not have even been Chinese according to a couple people I knew that worked at digg at the time. One of my friends believed them to be an Australian company (shilling for China for a paycheck). Source on the Digg issue here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Water_Army#Legal_probl...
Just depends on the site. Some mobile sites just remove all functionality. For example, the "mobile" version of a dealership site I tried to go to a couple of years ago didn't have any contact information on it. I had to access the desktop version of the site to find out how to contact them.

It most likely will, but it takes time. Product cycles for ag equipment are similar to the auto industry - new models every year, but major model overhauls every 4-5 years. That means it'll really take 10-15 years before the market really adapts to the demands of the customer. This technology is only a few years old.
I think their claim is that once the vmware modules load, they insert themselves under the Linux kernel (so Linux then acts like a dom0, similar to how Xen uses it). In that case, it would be in concept the same as one Linux kernel booting, and kexec'ing a second kernel.

It's definitely not settled science that you should never eat grains. Yes, some experts say you shouldn't, but if you're rejecting one expert because he disagrees with two others, it's definitely not sufficient to say it's "based on science".

As for dairy, while he mentioned using butter without paranoia about fat, he didn't seem to advocate for dairy. Eating dairy might be bad, but "don't eat dairy" is bad (or ineffective) advice because _people won't follow it_. Don't make perfect the enemy of better.

In order to appease Google's new mobile friendly algorithm, business owners and web designers have been rushing to "convert" their websites as quickly and cheaply as possible, without thinking about the usability factors required to make a website truly mobile friendly.

- You get mobile websites that serve massive graphics that take forever to load on mobile.

- You get mobile E-commerce websites with usability disasters during checkout.

- You get responsive websites with key visuals scaled down to minuscule promotions

- You get websites with less information and content available on entry

- You get to play hide and seek with hamburger navigation

- You get hosting companies offering free utilities and low cost services to convert website to mobile "point and click"

- You get websites where the full version is still more friendly.

Sure, a high quality mobile website can be a great way to improve key performance metrics. Businesses typically see increased conversation rates, decreased bounce rates etc. with their mobile users.

But only when the mobile website is done "right".

With businesses rushing to get this done ASAP there's a good chance it's not being done right - even if they still get that shiny green checkmark from Google.

And if the "full website" is performing just fine with mobile users, what's the rush to offer a separate version?

Google said so I suppose. Even it means a less friendly website.

I'd say in Japan it's still train-wise in smoothness for domestic flights. They still sell tickets up to 30 minutes before the flight, tell you to be at the airport and have your luggage checked in 15 minutes before, and at the gate 10 minutes before departure. With no luggage there is no check in as long as you have a mileage card or a phone where you can show the 2D barcode. You can even bring liquids.

You'll notice that up through the 40s it was possible for inflation to go negative and for there to be deflation. That means that while prices would rise for a time, they would then fall for a time.

That made borrowing less attractive since there wasn't an implicit guarantee that you'll pay back the loan with money worth less than what was loaned to you. In other words, get $X buying power now, pay back $0.8X buying power over time. It's a slam dunk.

After the 40s (and the war) there was a brief flirtation with deflation and then by the 60s inflation was in full force. Eventually people realized this was happening and a few years later Nixon nixed (HA!) the gold standard here in the US.

Once that happened it became incredibly obvious that inflation, borrowing and not really paying for it was the new standard move if you had half a brain. Businesses got it very quickly. Most of the population in the US has yet to realize it, otherwise it would have been changed by now.

EDIT: Given the regular changes to the way CPI is calculated I'm not sure I entirely agree with the reported numbers. I suspect that they're actually a few percent higher, so inflation has probably averaged not 4% for the last 30 years, but more like 6-7%

1.04 ^ 30 = 3.24

1.07 ^ 30 = 7.61

If that were the case it would explain a lot of the inequality. If inflation is 6-7% and returns have been averaging 8% (this is what most pensions assume they can get and shoot for) then your real rate of return is a pittance, almost not worth mentioning. Might that also cause some hard to detect but definitely real inequality as well?
