What startups are trying to disrupt politics in any shape or form?
I agree with everything you said here. Personally, I wish this had been your original post. It seems like a helpful jumping-off point for constructive conversation.
...and it requires you to put up with their needless shit to get it.

That Google hasn't de-listed them (and everyone else using what is nothing more than cloaking) is a real shame.
It goes without saying that what ISIS is doing is against the teachings of Islam.

What's happening is that they are making propaganda to the uneducated people who "have nothing to lose". They tell them to go carry weapons, fight for glory, and they'll be rewarded with Heaven. Pretty good deal to get out of their circumstances, right?

The fact remains though that what they preach is not of Islam.

Nice. It really seems like static typing and functional programming are winning [1]. For the most part, I think that's very a good thing, and may help move the software industry forward.

In pursuing the latest and the coolest, young engineers ignore
opportunities in less-sexy areas of tech like semiconductors, data
storage and networking, the products that form the foundation on which
all of Web 2.0 rests. Without a good router to provide reliable Wi-Fi,
your Dropbox file-sharing application is not going to sync; without
Nvidia’s graphics processing unit, your BuzzFeed GIF is not going to
make anyone laugh. The talent — and there’s a ton of it — flowing into
Silicon Valley cares little about improving these infrastructural
elements. What they care about is coming up with more web apps.

While I agree somewhat in principle, especially with the example about GPUs, but I think the viewpoint of this article greatly discounts the value of the open-source byproducts from many of the Web 2.0 companies.

For example, scaling to the levels that Facebook has presented many novel challenges and opportunities to push productivity in traditional computing areas. The open-compute project, face recognition, apache thrift (which builds upon ideas that began with protocol buffers), etc. are all ways in which some foundational technologies were the by-product of pursuing the creation of a social software empire.

That said, I also think this journalist is blindly by his own industry. There are plenty of cool startups working on foundational technology, it's just that they aren't as sexy and stories about them don't attract as many eyeballs. Take Planet Labs for example. That's some pretty foundational area in terms of how Space has been valuable to humans and they are aiming to democratize access to have an eye in Space. Maybe the author just doesn't know how to discover tech companies that haven't already been discovered for him by the pop tech journalism media?
Pixelator.io is now open source
I feel like I present a pretty sound argument. This is done via rhetoric of course, but what isn't. In what way is it overblown? I am not taking it to an extreme, I am actually pointing out the extreme the blog poster has taken.

I must say I chuckled when I read the top Quora comment. Its author clearly doesn't understand the genre this piece is written in, namely cultural criticism. He says:

> Too many paragraphs seem this way: like she had a point she wanted to make and then she tossed in a few questionable observations without thinking much of the logical relationships among them, the facts behind them, whether her idea was really supported by the phenomena she's describing.

Cultural criticism isn't meant to be a definitive, empirical description of reality. It is offered as food for thought, one additional point of view that may help you look at things differently and maybe see some things in a different light. One of course can, and should, critique such a text on the basis of contradicting all evidence, but expecting complete coherence is completely misunderstanding the purpose of the text.
...that apparently isn't going to be built? Sounds like a publicity stunt.

He appears to be from Paulding County, GA (based on his website). It's about 15 miles west of Atlanta.

http://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/147-Mill-Cr... shows a mobile home on 0.49 acres in the area. Zillow shows several recently sold homes in the area for $25k and under.

You can actually find similar deals in a lot of small towns. I picked a couple of small towns I happen to have family connections to -- Hillsboro, KS and El Dorado Springs, MO -- and found houses listed in both places for $20k or less.

> Organizational debt can create technical debt and may be the single biggest cause.

I agree with this. E.g. an organisation without a clear and concrete vision (but with a lot of fantasy) is inherently creating technical debt since it's unclear to the developers what exactly needs to build and what the important parts are. It's usually that within these organisations every other week a new feature is dreamt up by management that HAS to be included asap or the company might miss out to the competition.

Usually management in these type of organisations also LOVE Agile which to them pretty much means; just make shit up as you go along.

I'm really enjoying using Cask to manage my Emacs packages:

https://cask.readthedocs.org/

You maintain a list of packages in a Cask file and run "cask" to automatically download and install them from a repository like MELPA. Like Gemfile or requirements.txt, but for Emacs.

I found this really reduced the number of elisp snippets I've had to write or grab from around the web. Most popular packages are on MELPA, and there's usually a more polished way to accomplish things I was hacking together myself.

This is why if you're joining a startup as an employee you should ask for either a competitive market salary or real equity (not the insultingly low amount that normally gets offered as equity -- an actual stake).

I think a lot of people join startups and take a bad deal because they think the company will take care of them when the company makes it. Or they think they'll have more opportunity for promotions in the startup because of its small size and their early stake. The problem is usually executive roles are filled from outside the company rather than from internal promotions, and as this article illustrates, the founders don't necessarily care about the people at the bottom until it's bluntly pointed out to them how mass departures could fuck up the business.
What jumped at me was the fact that list seems significantly inaccurate/unrepresentative. For example, Delhi which has a population of 11 million according to its wikipedia article is missing entirely from the list (It would be between 10 and 14 rank as it stands now). The article is controversial due to conflicts in the definition of the boundaries of a city, but by any definition, Delhi should definitely be up there.
The whole point of ads is to convince people to buy things that they may otherwise not. That seems like the opposite of helping poor people. Also, if you are struggling financially, ad supported "content" is probably not a major concern in your life, and certainly not a solution to your problems.
Why would something need to happen to me to point out exploitation? Uber and Airbnb make money off people breaking the law. They exploit hundreds of thousands of people wanting to make a little extra money so that they can make a lot. They and their investors deserve to be singled out and condemned. That this _doesn't_ happen regularly should be more shocking than pointing it out in less than diplomatic terms.

I was surprised at that conclusion. The rise of robots creating goods means we will be forced into a basic income at some point. Or let jobless people starve I guess.

And its not at all assured that you will have to pay more taxes. The basic income could come from any number of places, like corporate automation tariffs (let the robots pay for it!) or even printing more money.

The Moaning Words Cheats Hack Tool
You would be surprised about how few "responsible" startups there are. Most will never be responsible until they're under scrutiny. I've been with a few that actively derided the idea of compensating employees who were underpaid during the initial growth phases. They thought that because they'd agreed to help "build the business" that nothing more was owed in better times.

One of them got a lot of press as a successful startup and landed several new large contracts. Which is why, after a year of executive self-congratulations and bonuses, their lead developer, who had saved several failed projects singlehandedly, left for more realistic pastures. They only brought him up to just below market when he talked about leaving, had no intentions about rewarding him for past underpaid accomplishments (which were obviously investments on his part), and despite their poor compensation packages had an overly strict culture for non-executives. Management compensation was top priority, and retention was assumed - they thought people would just stay despite having better alternatives. Even if he stayed, he'd have to watch other people get screwed. He wasn't the first, and doubtless he won't be the last rat to abandon that ship. I left as well, seeing that they really didn't care about anyone who didn't have ownership and a briefcase.

It's really not that uncommon. Being at the top of a company requires only one of three things: luck, lies ("charisma") or capital. Quite a lot of new business owners get mislead by their own kool-aid. They start believing that their vague "vision" is the most important thing and treat the people who do the real work as replaceable cogs. They give no thought to training costs or productivity and have high turnover rates. Merely treating the staff better could have a huge and positive financial impact. They'd probably know about these management issues if they didn't defensively fire people who voiced dissent. But a fool and his competent staff are soon parted.

If you have to cook evaluations, something is very wrong.

That having been said, allow me to paraphrase the statement I give to my classes when I teach:

"You're supposed to think I'm fair. You're supposed to think I'm competent. You're supposed to learn the subject matter. I demand your respect, not your affection. That's not part of my job description. This entire class can hate my guts by the end, but if you know the material, I've done my job. Are we clear?"

Most classes like me, by and large, because I work very hard to be good at teaching. But not all classes like me. <shrug> So it goes.
An efficient way to scan recent cyber hack events
First, I don't need to provide an explanation to demonstrate that other explanations are completely unfounded. If you don't have sufficient data to justify your statistical explanation or if your statistical reasoning is fundamentally flawed, then your explanation is unfounded whether or not I can provide an alternative one. Your statement is like an ancient Greek man saying to another: "Really? So if you don't believe in Zeus, what else could explain lightning?" If we don't know then we don't know. That someone comes up with one bogus explanation doesn't mean it's valid -- or even a good working hypothesis -- until someone else comes up with another bogus one. It is the magical mind that expects an explanation -- any explanation -- to any phenomenon. Science readily accepts that we just don't (yet) have an explanation for many things.

Second, there's a world of difference between saying something is related to nutrition in general, saying it relates to some global nutritional variable such as calorie intake, and saying something relates to a more specific nutritional variable such as intake of animal fat. While making each of these statements may be dubious due to the inherent difficulty of doing any sort of nutritional research (it must be observational and longitudinal, and there are too many confounding variables), at each of these three levels of nutritional explanation, there are so many more variables being added, so that to prove the third one you'll probably need many more samples than there are people on this planet. The dimensionality is just too big to tackle with statistics.

Imagine that the real explanation could be something like: amount of animal fat consumed between the ages 0 and 13, and unrelated to anything consumed later. Or it could also be that the same causes of diabetes also reduce the chance of, say, brain cancer, and so what we're seeing is actually a good thing. There are just too many variables, especially that we know food interacts in very complex ways with anything from hormones to gut flora.

What we can say with certainty is that life expectancy has been increasing steadily (not at a steady pace, of course) since the industrial revolution, and that it is very similar among all industrialized countries. The variations are hardly more than a couple of percentage points in spite of sometimes very different diets, different levels of pollution, different amounts of sunlight, different occupations, different leisure activities etc. So countries are so different, yet life expectancy is almost the same everywhere (in the industrial world, of course). Another thing we know for sure is that life expectancy in the developing world is much, much lower.

Of course, rather than clinical studies -- or "clinical", as nutritional studies are observational and wildly confounded -- one could try to study nutrition through biological metabolism, but we're probably decades away from having a really good grasp of human metabolism.

Evolution doesn't work like that. You don't consider newer generations 'better', you consider the survivors better. So you're assuming your conclusion and burying it in human moral terms, which evolution has no obligation to apply.

It's a shame you're getting downvoted so heavily, because you're absolutely correct. The overwhelming majority of TEDx talks I've watched or listened to have been pretty terrible. I actually knew someone who was a TEDx organizer, and she confided in me that their selection criteria basically comes down to, "does the proposed talk sound scientific and/or inspirational?"

Every time when summarizing a hack incident, I found I have been answering these typical questions:

* How was it hacked?
* Who did it and when?
* How was the hack found?
* How was the hack stopped?
* How to prevent such hacks?
* Previous hacks on the victim
* Previous hacks done by the hacker

Also people like to search specific hacks by date, hack types and keywords so I provide such features as well.

I find it pretty useful for me to quickly correlate events across timelines and among the massive number of recent hacks.

Thanks for comments
This is a great read and I recommend it to anyone in the 'build' phase of their company. The thing that always amazes me is how the organization of a company can enhance or limit what they can build in technology.
The point is for Google to help you a little collecting data you already have, in exchange of getting lots of days they wouldn't have another way

"If I were starting life over again, I am inclined to think that I would go into the advertising business in preference to almost any other.

Of course ideally, the country would provide some form of no questions ask aid. But I live in the US and its a very 'touchy' subject. So I must always seek a solution that embraces corporatocracy, believe me I am very much for tax supported wealth redistribution. It has been shown to be highly successful, but its basically a sin in my country.

A/ws even people struggling financially like to relax and enjoy 'content', should this just be a privilege of the wealthy? Without ads it seems like it would be even more so. As for being a solution to their problems, its not ads, but the type of services ads can support. Using a Search Engine as an example again, they are a way to educate and empower oneself. I used a search engine to teach myself programming and I now am a developer. While of course most poor people could never dream of doing such a thing, for numerous reasons. Making content only accessable behind a pay wall acts to strength someone's,without means, ability to compete in the modern world.
I'm sure he meant the other springfield. (There's a lot of them.)
Amazing video - but agreed about not letting the wolves get that close. Everything I've been taught about wild animals, suggests that one of these days, something very bad is going to happen to one of the workers who gets that close to a wild wolf.

Absolutely no way would I let one get that close, or get that comfortable about being around humans.
Of course they could have a research facility underground, and then call it "Raccoon City" :-) But that might give it away...

If they build it I suppose it might show up in some movies or TV shows, would make an ideal sort of place for anytown USA. And of course if you're building an urban surveillance system or a hunter killer manhack drone, well testing that in a "normal" city would cause too many questions to be raised now wouldn't it :-)
Palm/ctrl won't work on most laptops, especially since nearly all of them have chiclet keys these days.. heck, more and more desktop keyboards do too.

Could you please describe how can I bind 2 different servers to the same IP with automatic request balancing (so when one server is down, another one will serve all requests)? I understand how to do it with another server with HAProxy, but your solution seems to be without HAProxy.
Wouldn't lying be a better option to protect from finger printing ? Like: "what font's do you have" and just return a generic list ?
Also, Ctrl+j works as 'enter' as well.

A decent subset of emacs keybindings work in anything that uses gnu readline or similar library (ctrl+a|b|f... etc).
It absolutely should. And on a very basic level, this is actually risk. Risk equals dollars, and unmanaged risk equals costs.

As a gamble, or we can call it an investment, it can either cost a lot, or pay back, or just exist for a while, perhaps changing state later on. The semantics boil down to luck, or some defined and likely outcome.

I just used pencil in my company to create a mockup for a recent web project and it was a good experience.

PRO: It gave good results to us. With Bootstrap + FontAwesome stencils we were able to create more realistic pieces and gathered better feedback.

CONS: The linked repository version had a glitch which caused FontAwesome stencil disappear forever after few minutes using the application and being unable to reimport it. Evolus Pencil version worked well.
I have feared this would happen, and it's pretty much here.

The "this" is the wealthy buying up all rentable property, and raising rents until disposable income is close to 0% for many people.

In the past, I had a jobs that entailed collecting rent from tenants--and I hated the job. This is what bother me the most; I hated going to the door, or unit(mini-storages), and asking for that huge chunk of money each month. In every case, the family, or person was at the complete mercy of the Landord. I never met a Landord who didn't look for a reason to raise rents.

These Landlords knew the pain their rate increases would cause, and would hire guys like me(poor and needed a job) to do their dirty work. I think what bother me the most is when market rates went down--so many Landlords let their property sit idle until the market picked up.

I don't know the answer other than Landlords should get morality implants? I didn't mean to high jack stegosaurus' comment--I just don't like to see this imprisionment taking place so nonshalonant, like it's just business? It's not just business. Your business is affecting people lives on a very personal level.

It comes down to I don't want to live in a society that's so bifurcated. I see it happening and I don't like it. The disparity of income is here; I just can't keep acting like making money off the struggling, and dependent is copacetic!

(I used the word copacetic because when I was in school, I worked at a mini-storage. My manager who lived on the premises, with his wife, was the nicest guy. I saw how he struggled financially. Copacetic was my manager's favorite word. Whenever, I use it I hope he is doing well. I remember the look on his face when he had to tell people being close homeless, the owner is raising rents again. I'm even in denial. There were many people living out of their cars, and putting their few possessions in the units--they were homeless. Anyway, stay out of mini-storages if you can. I saw so many people put their stuff in and never get it out. They couldn't part with their stuff, and became perpetual tenants. Those were the lucky ones. The unlucky ones were already homeless.)

Good night people!
There is nothing inherently beautiful about symmetry (or anything else for that matter.) Most things that are symmetrical look artificial, manufactured and fake. What you are probably drawn to is contrast, color, flowing lines, and other things that have nothing to do with geometric symmetry.
So what is the benefit compared to the emacs port 'emacs'?
