Hey roddit, I'm one of the founders at https://cubic.fm

About your concerns about, it's legality : It's completely legal, cubic.fm is powered by APIs of legal streaming services, including Spotify, Deezer, Rdio, Youtube and Soundcloud. Even if you add songs from other services, we'd find it on these sources and stream it to you.
I don't think it's harsh, I came here to say this exactly. It seems like it could be cool, but the websites and videos are almost overdone, for the lack of information, and most likely early stage they are probably at.
If this is the first thing that has made you question Wikileaks as a trusted medium then you have not been paying attention.
Like I said, that prior is wrong regardless about how comfortable you feel about it. The real question you should be saying yes to is whether a microwave with more USEFUL features would be more expensive. A microwave with the "feature" that "it has a 10% chance to self-destruct each time it finishes heating something" would cost less, since no matter how hard you try to spin that as a feature, a reasonable person would see it as a defect.
He was certain technology would save the world. Here’s what changed his mind
So not knowing is shady.
The actual original quote is: "Information wants to be free. Information also wants to be expensive." The second half frequently gets forgotten.

If you're in short-term rental accommodation (1 year or less) or if you share a mailbox... then yes, these are concerns.

If you fail to respond to HMRC mail, you can be fined. i.e. missing reminders about a tax return, or PAYE info.

Both Companies House and HMRC will send authorisation codes to the registered address, and you can use these to change shareholdings, dissolve a company, make declarations that are untrue, etc.

You definitely need to trust the registered address a lot, and that trust needs to be stable.
Is there some filter on this data? Green Card for a certain type of job? India has 280K greencards and Mexico only 40K greencards in 16 years? That doesn't seem right.
Agreed. There's something to be said about maximizing productivity and relaxation time. Also, it's nice that they have a business model that works from a remote location, but personal interactions with clients go a long way for most companies.
We simply host the critical bits ourselves, instead of relying on a third party cloud/host/storage.
> How to respond to recruiters who barely speak English?

Ignore them; overseas recruiters are indicative of low-rent clients and bottom feeders. Having your CV associated with them damages your brand.

A few suggestions--
Remove your resume from the job boards immediately. Instead, focus your search on companies and senior executives who you can help. Linkedin is good for this. (BTW, I'm assuming you've punched up your profile.) Do look for seasoned, established stateside recruiters who focus on your industry or market. Reach out to them selectively. One way to get on a serious recruiters side-- show interest in what they are working on, ask how you may be able to help them. There is power in a networking relationship.
They are for sure. It's like if you fart and instead of owning up to your smelly fart you say, "Ewww. Who farted?" Or, you blame the fart on another person (in this case, Google) to distract people from identifying you as the smelly farter.
I think that if they are collecting user data it's only due to Government pressure.

I can't imagine any business related reason that would require Apple to store and harvest user data. When you make such a large profit on hardware, you don't need to scrounge around for bits and bytes to sell to the advertisers.

Of course this excludes the minimum data they need to maintain warranties and your payment details.
StarCraft II, like WarCraft III is a 3d game. But original StarCraft and Warcarft I/II are pure 2d games.

Crowdsourcing funds for lobbying is essentially what advocacy nonprofits do, like the Sierra Club, ACLU, EFF, Heritage Action, NRA, etc.

Edit to add: But lobbying is not bribery because lobbying money is never given to elected officials. Lobbying expenditures pay for things like salaries, research, events, mailers, ad campaigns, websites, etc.
All I can see is the gear turning around, nothing else happens.

It is not fair to present a site in such a premature test stage to the public and title it ironically as "really well". This site will be certainly really good after some professional designers will have worked on that prototype, so why exposing it while still in this early state?
Nothing illegal about making your own gun. You cannot pay someone else to do the work for you, it has to be done by you. You can never sell the gun since only licensed guns are allowed to be sold.
I don't think the problem is so much collecting data, more what agreement the company collecting the data has with third party corporations and governments. Also, the fact that Apple includes full disk encryption for OS X, and encrypts all communications on iOS storage and in transit with personal keys, is a pretty good sign Apple is taking personal privacy seriously.

Facebook and Google haven't made such steps.
Speaking from personal experience, I'd second what people are saying about doing this on a very small scale. However, there are soft skills engineers really don't have, nor want. Running a business "where everyone is a software engineer" is about so much more than the type of employee you hire.

It depends how you define success. It is indeed a remarkable achievement to have survived this long and have a (growing? I think so) speaker community, and I could agree it is worth learning. But the goal was not to just work, or have a small community of speakers. It aimed to become a world-wide known language for international communication. In this sense, it would need to have an importance of the order English has today to be considered a success, so I think that "not very successful" is even a bit too generous.
"but you're unlikely to make, say, a space shuttle."

Why would I desire the ability to make a space shuttle if I don't want to make a space shuttle?

I mean there's casual interest and amusement, sure thats cool, daydream about making a space shuttle for five minutes, but accumulating mortgage size debts on a whim would be highly unwise. Especially if as a young kid you get a different whim every week or so.

Everyone is collecting user data for targeting and segmentation in marketing. Not sure Tim Cook knows everything that is going on at Apple. I've worked directly with several CEOs of larger companies and none new everything that was going on.

> The problem is that 3D often doesn't tend to age well, as polygon count, texture mapping, terrain sculpting, particle effects and other graphics fidelity has been consistently and rapidly improving over the past 20 years or so.

This hasn't stopped Mario 3D, Zelda: Ocarina of Time, or Final Fantasy VII from becoming classics, despite being some of the first games in the 3D space.

> That doesn't mean that it makes the games less enjoyable, necessarily, but certain art styles are just better at conveying timelessness.

However, that art style is not pixel art. I've gone back and tried to play some of the pixelated stars from the past - they don't age well on modern display devices. From their 40pt fonts, to their pixels which actually look worse on LCD monitors than they did on our old CRT TVs.

They are still classics, and frequently enjoyable, but in many ways they require a bit of context to understand why they were such classics.
Guns need bullets.

I really can't see the controversy with 3d printed, or untraceable guns. Just regulate, and mark with ID, the bullets. Or if that starts being circumvented with diy bullets, control the propellant, and mark it with isotopes or whatever.

Very few people have a legitimate use for explosives, it should be easy to control, along with the obvious "possesion of unregistered firearm, or of an unlicensed design, or using homebrew propellant" laws.
To be blunt more than most on this very site were just fat dumb and happy when the FCC fast tracked their rules changes without prior publication, in fact some were insisting on it to quell debate.

There is one simple rule, apply the same standards to all or you have no leg to stand on. Far too many people dismiss the rules when they think the outcome is one they may like; even if that decision is one hundred percent ignorant of facts

> Only those with tremendous conscientious, like Snowden or Manning, step up in the face of odds like that.

Good. Look how beneficial Snowden's leaks have been to the cause of civil liberties in the past two years, and because he went Hong Kong and Moscow, many think he MUST be a traitor.

Now imagine if Snowden said "Eh, I wouldn't have done it, but $100,000 was nice."

> Financial compensation shifts the balance to make conscientious disclosure more self-interested.

That's bad; now you've eroded the moral grounds. Even offering legal funds up to $100k would be more ethical than cash payouts.
Downvoters can take a warm piss on a power line. The researchers are quoted asserting the profound significance of their discovery. This is reason to be skeptical, given the field has a reputation for Nobel prize winners rushing to publish work they hear about from less well known researchers, and then claiming the less known researcher stole their ideas from them.
Congress can amend implementing legislation. A treaty can't be amended, but a treaty is ratified by the Senate, not the House, and requires a supermajority in the Senate.

Personally, if you want a fast track with no amendments to implementing legislation for an international agreement that requires such legislation (is, is not self-executing), then a prerequisite for that is that the underlying agreement itself should be signed and ratified by the Senate as a treaty first.

You can't modify it because it's implementing a treaty only works as an argument if you accept that the treaty needs to be ratified before we talk about the implementing legislation.
Imgur faces user revolt as it starts to cull NSFW comments from site
My problem with this is that it is pure marketing play. Apple isn't doing anything really great to enhance user privacy in absolutes - all they are doing is having all your data and not letting anyone else benefit from it - right now. Which is to say Apple still does benefit from your data in direct or indirect ways.

They are still, by default recording all your search queries on OS X. And Apple supporters' justification for that is well, Apple isn't a company whose revenue and profits are mostly dependent on ads. But if you look at facts, Apple wants to get a big pie of everything, not just hardware. And they go out of their way to try and get it - book sales (ref: antitrust case), iAd, Maps, Streaming Music - the list goes on and on.

Given this, how do you claim Apple won't use your recorded search queries or music you listened to (Genius Recommendations) or location data or whatever else they record and we don't yet know about - to increase their profits? They sure as hell will - that's why they are collecting the data in first place.

Google is doing the same thing by showing you ads that may be of interest to you, analyzing your Google Voicemails to increase their speech recognition accuracy, making their maps data more robust by giving you the best Navigation app for free, giving you useful reminders by looking at your email - they are doing it now and in return they are providing you with great products you can optionally use.

To claim that Google is doing something evil while Apple is not purely because they make money on hardware is naive and too simplistic. (Case in point - Microsoft made most of their money selling you boxed software - now a days they want you to use their services and will provide you with a free upgrade to Windows and free online Office suite down the line. They did not care about your data before, but now they do!)

Fact is you can either place reasonable trust on Google or Apple and continue to be part of the modern world or just drop all your devices, bank accounts, cards, get a car from 1970s and move off the grid. As much as it sounds harsh there isn't really such a thing as 100% privacy. Your data will always be vulnerable to becoming public in various degrees and to various effects.
Oh, please. Spending 4 years in college just means you are slightly less of an infant when you enter the workforce.

Recent college graduates and recent college dropouts are alike in a few things: they are still getting pimples, and they have tunnel vision because they're barely off training wheels and are on their very first trip around the block.

They can be tremendously smart, talented, and energetic, but at 21/22, whether they went to college or not, they are not very experienced in either adult life or professional life, and that lack of experience is a real handicap.

'Ransomware-as-a-service' discovered on the darknet
Well, not quite. StarCraft and WarCraft II used 2d sprites, but those 2d sprites were generated from 3d models - its what gave them so much depth for their time (and also made them look muddy compared to hand-drawn sprites).
I agree, it's not the same MS.

Just don't forget about the royalties MS charges from Android manufacturers as well.

They might be on the right reinvention path, but they're still a giant company, and one to be respected.

> Does Mozilla's track record include their suggested advertising tiles on your newtab page, based off your browsing history?

Yes, in fact it enhances Mozilla's reputation (or should): 1) It doesn't compromise your confidentiality because, as you point out, your data never leaves your computer; and 2) They provide a way (and open code) for the whole industry to greatly improve the confidentiality of their advertising.

> I don't want my data mined even locally for the purpose of showing me ads

That's fine, but it's not a confidentiality issue.

> defaulting to Yahoo to send your searches because they were the highest bidder?

Given that there are confidential search vendors, such as DuckDuckGo, I agree that this is a confidentiality issue.

What year is it??!
While I would rather not work while on the beach, I can definitely see the value of being able to work while at the beach.

What I mean is that, instead of having 2 weeks of vacation per year, having to schedule it, and when I get to the location I'm out of work mode entirely -- maybe I can up and leave my hometown at will, spend a week at the beach or in the mountains or wherever whenever I wish, and still be connected and able to get my work done.

So, for example, I could get up in the morning and get some stuff done. Around 2 or so I pop out to the beach for a few hours. Then I come inside to finish up with work in the evening.

Where is the evidence that this is not the Microsoft of 15-25 years ago?

What was going on 20 years ago at Microsoft?

* implementing POSIX application compatibility to compete with UNIX for gov. contracts
* giving away IE
* embrace and extending Java

Compare to today

* additional compatibility with tools typically used in Unix administration
* giving away windows
* Objective-C/Cocoa support for Windows applications

The steps they were taking didn't seem bad until the end game was obvious, but they started out very similarly to the current initiatives. A lot of the actions seem exactly like 20 years ago - do whatever it takes to get market share, make it incredibly difficult for that market share to migrate.

> Mozilla has over a thousand employees on its various projects, and this income is necessary to keep them in work.

Here's a thought experiment - what it Mozilla spun-out a "Firefox foundation" that only worked on Firefox? How many employees & how much funding would that require? I suspect it could get by without the ads and could infact, be kick-started.

Granted, this would not mesh with Mozilla's manifesto, and the other projects would die without the ad-powered money-printer that Firefox is.

I highly doubt that whistleblower protections would apply to leaking a draft trade agreement.

Typically those protections are intended to provide protection for people who disclose wrongdoing that would otherwise be unknown. But in the eyes of the law, negotiating a trade deal is not wrongdoing. It is one of the enumerated powers of the executive branch.

I very much agree with you. It should be up to the person who has the information to decide whether it should be made public or not. Morally speaking, it could cause outage and even war, who knows.. but it should be up to that person to decide. Monetary incentives dilute the idea of moral responsibility and also gives some people an opportunity to shout : "Oh! They did it for the money". What next .. will the information be put on auction !!

The original DooM engine it's a "false 3d" or 2.5d game.
Really it's a 2d game displayed on 3d. All game mechanics, and the monsters IA works based on 2d data. Even the maps are based on 2d BSP and data. Z data are only used to rendering.

Source ports add more 3d stuff to the game engine, like collision by cylinders with height (ie, a flying Cacodemon not would colide with you if it is flying above you), opnegl rendering, 3d camera, modern controls, slopes, etc. But at the core, keeps being a 2d game.

If you can sell it to a couple of people, then you should be able to sell it to more. I would take a two pronged approach going forward.

First, focus on explaining the value add of your CRM on your site. The video on the site doesn't really talk about what you do but that people should be using you because you don't offer lots of bells and whistles.

It seems like there are three big value adds:
simple scheduling
rapid invoice
*smart pricing

But, these aren't listed on your landing page. They are listed on your Tour page, but only once you click past the Responsive Design tab (how many pet sitters know or even care about responsive design?). Make it absolutely clear what you offer. (I like your "Get Organized and Efficient" line, as that is really what you're helping the sitter do.)

Second, have your brother-in-law get out and sell. I'm not sure where pet sitters congregate, but maybe just standing in front of a pet store asking people about their pet sitters might net you a couple of leads. If it does, figure out what it takes to close those sales. Then, use those people as testimonials, run a case study and sell off of those numbers.

You might also have some of the pet sitting tutorial-type people on youtube review your software.

Just some thoughts.
Would you like to publish the demo data to the repo as well, so we can test this app locally with some relevant data loaded? Thanks!
