I agree; while having mods that resolve major issues is certainly better than nothing, their very existence reflects poorly on the developer.

That said, the value that a robust modification ecosystem can add to a game cannot be understated. Skyrim is a fantastic example of this.
You could probably just buy a laundry van on craigslist and drive out to somewhere rural for a couple months, if you want to most bang for your buck.
With a decoy account you wouldn't need to go through the wiping rigamarole every time you travel. Just have the decoy account's login trigger a wipe of the primary account.

Of course, there's the question of how to make a realistic-looking decoy account that doesn't look suspicious on account of not having any files created in the past year or two, but with a little creativity you could pull it off.
You probably meant "most white people". Do you know, that white people are minority and not the "most people" if taken on the scale of the population of the world? The "most people" are East Asian and they are very fond of crickets.
Would you mind sharing your notes on that, if you have any?
Ok I'll have to read it tomorrow, but I will since the New Yorker piece about the execution of an innocent man really changed my opinion on the death penalty.
Because if there's one place everyone can go to be better informed about climate change, it's definitely not NASA.

This is why people like you get dismissed in the first place. I can choose to spend time worrying about why you would think that, or I can go on with my life.

I choose to go on with my life. It is not true that all opinions are created equal.

Sorry, that's just the way it is.
Speaking as someone who has been painted with this brush from time to time:

I try to limit myself to getting into arguments over things that will at some point become my responsibility to fix. On some projects, with certain people, that can be a pretty big fraction of the code and so I'm, well... pretty damned nosy. I try to be rough the way you'd expect a good coach to be rough. Not like some snotty know-nothing asshole. But some people don't see it.

The way I see it is something like this:

Think back to the last four or five Big Emergencies you had. Split everybody into two groups. Team A is all the people who were still working hard on a fix right up until the end. Team B is all the people who gave up, or merely looked on with concerned expressions instead of being helpful.

You listen to the people on Team A. Even the people who were part of the problem in the first place (unless there's a pattern of "Test it in Production"). Why? Because Team A is living with the consequences of the bad decisions. The people on Team B get to raise concerns, offer suggestions, and disagree, but they're really spectators.

The people who are on Team B -and- who are involved in the problems are the people you really have to watch out for. They have poor judgement and don't clean up after their own messes. Honestly these people should be on performance review, but for reasons I'll never fathom we always seem to forget these indiscretions at annual review time. I honestly wish I knew why. If anyone has a theory, I'd love to hear it.

"Asset forfeiture is lucrative for the DEA. According to their latest notification of seized goods, updated Monday, agents have seized well over $38 million dollars' worth of cash and goods from people in the first few months of this year."

Umm... $38 million in three months works out to about 5% of the DEA's operating budget. If your revenue is 5% of your burn rate, that's not exactly lucrative.

This is money that, absent some form of corruption, benefits exactly no one, not even greedy shareholders or executives with tons of stock options. Let's be careful with our use of "lucrative".
I have a drivers license. I can drive a car. However, even I know I'm not the best driver in the world. In fact, I'm probably below average. I just drive so little.

A drivers license is a bad example.
Kickstarter: Openwords – foreign language learning app with open data
It's hard to get your money back because the government treats it as if it weren't your money. What happens is since the DEA can't prove you're involved in a crime they sue... your money. There will be a case in federal court that will be something like "Leonhart v $23,174". They don't even have to notify you.

So. At this point you're not a party to the proceeding, so you can't do any of the normal things you'd do if the DEA was suing you, and you certainly don't have the presumption of innocence you'd have in criminal court. You have to petition the court to be involved in your own case. Because your money is just sitting there not doing much to defend itself. Once you're officially involved, the burden of proof is on you to show you came by the cash honestly.

I used to play a lot of relatively high stakes poker. Guys I played with would be carrying a fair amount of cash (more than the subject of this story), and it was common knowledge if you got robbed it would most likely be by the cops.

The gallows humor around the table was "So when their investigation turns up nothing you ask if they'll be returning your money. 'No,' they explain."
I've had this experience with Dune 2: it was amazing when I first played it but now it seems incredibly bad.

Was he just going to go find someone and give them 16k for a music video company? 16k in cash just makes very little sense to me.
Tokyo is pretty reasonable. A 1-person apartment is under $1k/month no matter where in the city you are, you can get something student-sized for $600 a month. Not $3k/month for sure.

From personal experience, at least, supply is _not_ an issue in Tokyo. You can go to a real estate agent and go see like 4 or 5 places in a day and take it almost immediately.

This is compared to (second hand stories) of apartments in Paris where you have 10 people show up to look at 1 apartment and it's a crapshoot whether you can get it.
I'm a US citizen who is very unhappy about "civil forfeiture", about mass surveillance, etc. But the reality is that most people in the US are not directly affected. I haven't really been affected, and I don't personally know anyone who has been. (yeah yeah it helps that I'm white.) Most US citizens who are aware of these things, like me, are very unhappy about them. But most people are not really aware, and one reason for that is they haven't been personally affected.

Things in the US are not nearly as bad as in third world countries. They're bad, they're serious, but third world (or whatever you want to call Russia and China) problems are really in a league of their own. Dubai is in a different league than NYC / SF.

In the US, you can talk about it, you can get a lawyer, you can have newspaper articles written. Many third world countries - nope. There may be a couple of bloggers but they tend to get arrested.

Again, I'm not saying these things in the US are OK. I'm just saying it's unrealistic to say Manhattan is like Dubai, or NSA is like Chinese internet monitors/hackers. Really - not even close.
Good to know. A workmate owns one.

I don't get the huge screen size trend anyway. About 4.5" (iPhone, Samsung Alpha, Sony XPeria Z3 Compact, etc.) is already the physical limit to fit comfortable in many pockets and is certainly big enough. Tell that to most manufactures who produce the mass of 5.5" phones.
I found a TR808 in a garage sale 10 years ago. Nice memories!
There is a cheaper alternative with a similar sound and programmation capabilities (althoughfar more cumbersome and no sound tweak possibilities) : the CR8000. All this gear is getting expensive these days, but maybe Roland will follow Korg's lead with the MS20 and rebuild TRs.
I had the problems with a Java codebase in SVN (back when your user profile was still under C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\Username\...

Apart from that there is a backwards-compatible way of using longer paths, which is prefixing with \\?\. Since MAX_PATH is a hard-coded constant there can only be an opt-in way of dealing with the problem. Sadly many application or framework developers these days still don't opt in.

It also creates the problem that if Application A can create such paths and Application B cannot read them, you'll be annoyed too. And Application A might just disable long path support to mitigate the problem, leaving the whole state as it is.

I am amazed by how many chats are coming out.

I wonder what's the difference between Bleep and Telegram, are they all adding value or are they trying to differentiate small niches of the market?

Also, with all these free services I'm always worried about the longevity of the service.

Whatsapp has a proven record of being sustainable, so it should stay up even with not so many users.

The free alternatives need money, so they will either use advertising, form of premium content, external investors, or in the end, shut down.

All we have is our bodies, what else is there to give?
That has nothing to do with the earlier discussion, which wasn't about physical strength and wasn't about women being offended. You made a claim, and you were challenged to provide any support of that claim. You have not provided any support for it; and where you could have admitted you were unsure or withdrawn the claim, you tried to change the subject.

This is silly, and I'm done with this thread.
When it comes right down to the basics, with humans as with most species, males are less useful than females. Females have an inbuilt basic purpose, males have to prove their usefulness to the species/tribe/society. However tragic it may be, maybe it's just perfectly natural behaviour for the "superfluous" males to give up. I guess the opposite reaction would be to go around venting their frustration by raping and pillaging.

(And no, I'm not writing this from the safe distance of a successful male. I've been close to that edge, like many of us, and I have no illusion I may not end up there again.)
Strange article. Is this meant primarily for YC companies, or generally? Sounds like advice that's only applicable if you're dealing with very reputable top-tear investors.

My experience: Giving investors substantial control doesn't just give them an ability, it gives them a liability to their LPs. If something goes wrong in the startup, and everyone knows that the board members could have potentially taken drastic steps such as firing the founders to possibly prevent the bad situation, even if the possibility is very small, then that responsibility weighs heavily on the VCs. Giving them substantial control, gives them a big responsibility to fix problems and only a loaded gun with which to fix them.

Just a guess, Sam's advice seems like a classic type of VC advice - do riskier things, because although it will likely end up bad for you individually, we're well diversified and it increases expected value for our VC portfolio as a whole. Suppose that's a big part of the reason why he's the spokesman for YC now.

> Finally, board members stick with the company when things really go wrong, in a way that advisors usually don’t.

Nice choice of wording, they stick with the "company".

> As a side note, bad board members are disastrous. You should check references thoroughly on someone before you let them join your board.

That sounds like more than just a little side note!

There are a lot of variations on similar themes.

Chicago's economy isn't San Francisco's, or New York's, and it doesn't have many exciting software jobs or world-class outdoor recreation. But it is still a big city with big-city opportunities and many well-paying jobs. And it clearly demonstrates that a sufficient housing stock guarantees no building type, even skyscrapers, are inherently tied to high prices. Just as San Francisco's predicament demonstrates that keeping old buildings in place doesn't hold down prices.
Well, that's a new low for ads. "Please rotate your device" takes over the whole page. Nope. Closed.
I think the trick is to raise property taxes on un-occupied/secondary housing, because if not you're just raising taxes for everyone.

I doubt the people already living there is small. Most people don't really move out of cities they grew up or went to college in. So we're talking about a substantial chunk of the population. There are cultural arguments for protecting the incumbent population.

Like I said, that's the counterargument as has been presented to me. It's not black and white (obviously). I think the proper solution is stronger transportation and making other areas more livable. But there's a strong argument for making real estate not become just an investment vehicle (literally rent seeking!), and make it more about actually housing people.

I'm sorry; I don't see it. I've seen hundreds of date pickers and color pickers and alerts, and they look very similar. The visual design language of the web co-evolves across millions of sites. There are only just so many ways these things can be done. I prefer to have a web filled with familiar, usable components, rather than every designer trying to make the same control somehow novel.

Unless these folks wholesale copied your html and CSS source code, I don't think you need be getting upset about it. The "look and feel" cases between Apple and Microsoft settled this issue in the 90's - it's not protectable.

Yes, you "interview" board members like you would executives. You also check references, like Sam suggests. It's like hiring anyone else.
If you don't want to waste your time with climate change deniers, just skip and don't address them, that's cool, life is short no doubt about that.

If you find yourself in a situation where somehow you DID address them (maybe because you care about the world, and you DO sound like someone reasonable that cares about important matters), that means you already decided to use some time on them climate change deniers, so make the most of it, remember they're human beings and treat them with respect and you might end up inspiring them to actually listen to you to understand instead of listening to retort (like most people do when they're on defensive mode), be kind and you might even end up incepting some sense into their minds.

Trust me, kindness works miracles.

Samsung Launches ARTIK, Its New Platform for Connected Devices
Unfortunately, Syncthing only supports a subset of what Bittorrent Sync does:

- There is no tracker/relay server infrastructure. As a result, Syncthing doesn't work if two peers are behind a firewall/NAT without uPnP or manual port forwarding. The number of peers behind carrier-grade NAT is only growing (IPv6 migrations) and if you are often on the move (hotels, etc.) you have no control over the firewall.

- Syncthing does not support selective sync yet, let alone with the ease of BTSync where it is a Finder/Explorer extension.

- Syncthing does not support link-based sharing, which is handy if you quickly want to share something with family/colleagues.

- Syncthing is too hard to set up for most family/colleagues.

tl;dr Syncthing is great for synchronizing two machines on networks under your own control, but it is not a nearly-complete P2P replacement of Dropbox like Bittorrent Sync is.

.. if someone wants to be gay. They have the right to choose that lifestyle ..

This really irks me. People do not wake up one day and go "oh gee, let's see, i'll be attracted to a different gender from now on!" It's this attitude that, unchecked, does things like killing Turing.

[abortion] steals away the agency of another

This is retarded too, i'm very sorry, but somebody has to say it. So this clump of cells that was created entirely by the actions of the parents suddenly has rights, but the host, whose body it is (and nobody else's, mind!), doesn't get to choose? Why this sudden flip? On day 1 this person (non-pregnant woman) has full agency according to you, then on day 2 once pregnant, she has magical incubator-only-no-agency restrictions?

I'm sorry, this has nothing to do with you being religious or not (as you rightly point out), but your views don't correspond with a place i would like to live in.

Yes, because corruption has been legalized through corruption.

I think it actually turned out to be 10 folders including sub-folders within a share...

No. The documentation says it is 10 shares with any number of subfolders and that is also my experience - when the Pro trial expired, I could sync 10 shares with a large number of subfolders without any problems.

Of course, changing the number of shares from unlimited to 10 was a bait and switch move, and a scam because their website said that they wouldn't remove any functionality from the free version.

Also, it's very weird that they switched to a subscription model. You bring most of the infrastructure (bandwidth & disk space) and they bring mostly software (and some infrastructure). Why not just let people buy the software?!?
