If its about giving the power to seek and provide the service to individuals - like what Uber did - "I can share what I have and I don't need a license for it". Quite known to everyone Uber has built its service base by offering lucrative benefits to its drivers/service providers - one of the many reasons it was able to scale. Effect of that is people are buying new cars at the rate Toyota Vios can't fulfill the demand. Grigi could be free to use for a year like Whatsapp. At the end of the year many who shared their service will have Karma GB in their pockets to trade...at this stage bitcoin gained its popularity.. people had something to trade.

One NaCL use case is a plugin downloaded by the page

But NaCL is also used to isolate "built in" embeddables e.g. Flash, which I have used as an example of a NaCL plugin that comes with chrome in both the previous posts?

Another example is the voice activation plugin that got them into so much trouble recently...

Imagine you walk past your colleagues computers saying things like "let's google something naughty" loudly...

And now let's extend that to playing an audio snippet that invokes a stack smash? :)
IIRC the main problem with lithium is the narrow therapeutic window, hence potential toxicity. But I had no idea it was that good. Actually reading studies I wasn't quite sure of many drugs psychiatrists prescribe, especially serotonin re-up takes... But out of experience they seem to work in many cases.
You're not supposed to refuse to do business with someone on the basis of your religion (or theirs). However, even though it's illegal, but plenty of people get away with it - "We don't like yer kind in here!"

Getting out of the draft is different, you aren't offering a business to the government.

Donating a small amount of money a 7 years ago to a cause you believe in should not equal bullying and a forced firing. I also feel less sympathetic when someone from that same community is bullied because I know they aren't actually about freedom, only their freedom.

A business owner should also be allowed to have the religious freedom to not make a gay wedding cake, just as a Jewish owner should have the right to not make a nazi cake.

"is a cheap price to pay. As well as delicious irony."

An eye for an eye will only leave the world eye-less and good people like me will be forced to resort to the same tactics to make the world a better place. It's very easy to get someone fired from their job now. I guess you just gave me more of a reason to continue. Thanks.
Generally, "something you are" is some sort of biometric. Fingerprint, iris, hand geometry, palm veins, face and voice are all possible. Some laptops have fingerprint readers, face/voice recognition would probably work fine through a cheap webcam. I'm not sure how you'd prevent replay attacks if you were running it over the internet.
"If he wants any shred of credibility he should. If his supporters want any shred of credibility they should demand it too."

Gay marriage supporters are against bullying, but they don't hesitate to bully and terrorize anyone against their cause. Credibility lost I guess?
This (the whole chain of comments stemming from this parent in parent) is as ridiculous as it is entertaining. A lay person asks a question but uses phrasing that could be construed as declarative at first glance and suddenly everyone on HN is a rocket scientist, a SpaceX PR spokesperson, a SpaceX fanboy, or all three. Adorable.

The true irony is that all of the people responding with righteous indignation ( typically a good sign that the speaker has lost their objectivity) are 'defending' SpaceX from the violent attack from a person that is just Wonder if there may be another way to do something. Priceless.

And just to be crass, there are many fucking ways to skin a cat, assuming you get to build the cat, the skin, and the implement(s) to be used.

I'm pretty sure the wizards at SpaceX are ok with people thinking stuff and writing it online. All of you apologists may be better off sitting in quiet contemplation of the place the Crowd takes in literally every story of innovation.

You're overreacting. "> So, you think marriage shouldn't be available for straight people who are both infertile?" is, sadly, quite close to spite. Pointing out that gay couples raise children in significant numbers is a constructive argument, though this implicitly recognizes that marriage benefits are, at least partly, about procreation and child rearing.

PS. I'm a parent, thank you very much.

> No, it's not a Chinese buyout. You're talking about the acquisition of maybe 2% to 3% of their equity. It's meaningless in that regard.

Really? Where did that 2% to 3% of equity number come from. I would be stunned if $1.5 billion is going into the company for just that. Even the valuation numbers seem to indicate at least 6%.

And, an even more interesting question is: "Why does airbnb need $1.5 billion if their annual revenue is $900 million?"

People can downvote all they want, but did any of you people read the article:

"Leading the round are private-equity firm General Atlantic Inc., Chinese firm Hillhouse Capital Group, and alternative-investment firm Tiger Global Management, which are collectively buying about a third of the shares allocated for this funding round, the people said.

The deal, advised by Morgan Stanley, includes Singapore’s Temasek Holdings as well as venture-capital firms Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, GGV Capital, China Broadband Capital and Horizon Ventures."

That's a hell of a lot of Chinese investors.

> At lease in the case of traditional marriage, there's the creation of children to contend with.

Huh? Sterile people have always been permitted to marry. Always. Everywhere. Under all circumstances. Ever. Sometimes inability to bear children has been grounds for divorce or--in the case of royalty--annulment, but there has never anywhere been a test for non-sterility prior to marriage. So what does "the creation of children" have to do with "traditional marriage", given "traditional marriage" could and did trivially take place between sterile individuals.

And whose tradition? One man, one woman, the man's concubines, the odd houseslave, and perhaps a sheep or two? Is that the traditional marriage you're talking about? It's by far the most common kind over most of the world before industrial capitalism.

"Why just two people?" is of course trivially easily answered: humans are a socially pair-bonded species. This seems to be basic to our biology, and is the case in every society ever observed. While bonds between more individuals are possible, they are rare and complicated (the modern poly community is small, for example, and most frequently consists of multi-pair-bonded networks).
Thank you for sharing IRIS. As a technologist for non-profits, it's something I've never seen before. Our industry is VERY fragmented.

Your point about standardized metrics and data collection is very key. Even the organizations that realize a benefit to being data-driven just don't have the staff background in what that means or how to do it. From programs to funddev, staffs are trying to work with the limited data they are collecting, and making poor extrapolations based on that.

Even working to implement good databases and good procedures can't make up for both executive level buy in and staff level training and understanding.
In golfing circles, a "hacker" is somebody who plays occasionally and not particularly well.

In software circles being a hacker used to be somebody who was technically very good. But the media has bestowed the label upon the black hats.

Personally, I tend to think more along the old time's definition: as somebody who doesn't do much design, just churns out good to excellent code. Being a professional suggests doing more design and documentation. That is, code that might not be as brilliant, but maintainable by lesser mortals.
"Having read it, do I have a better idea how likely this strategy is to work for any given person/company? No"

Au contraire @candu.

The founders identified limited cash and made a decision to change tack. A new idea was tried on an observation and a hunch. A prototype was cheaply created, in both time and money and launched, then validated. The only question left unanswered is homework for the reader, "what idea" to try?
I took compilers. Maybe the class wasn't advanced enough, but it didn't seem that groundbreaking after learning about state machines in a sophomore-level digital logic class. I don't see how you can learn enough about such a vast topic in the context of a single-semester course to the extent that you are preventing a guaranteed place among the "b-list" programmers. Are great programming skills really born out of a single class?

Crowdfunding with equity can't come soon enough.

What do you think IPOs were? Putting aside the craziness of the dotcom boom, this is basically what the public markets were doing 15 years ago. Sarbox fixed some of the dotcom issues and, basically, blew up the sub $1B equity market. As you note, the markets can manage this process provided they receive information, return and risk which are correlated with stage. We don't need a special term for this. We just need the regulatory burdens to be consistent with the levels of societal harm and to prevent faddish uni-portfolios.
The big problem (apart from the fact that ill-formatted codebases have often much more serious problems...) is that reformatting is an excellent way of messing up your VCS' diff ability, which is extremely precious in trying to understand why things have been done the way they have.

Marriage as a practical matter exists in all societies everywhere, in the absense of any institutions of organized religion or the political state. Read any ethnography of any stone-age people from the past several hundred years and you'll find social pair-bonding without any religious or state sanction. There is frequently family sanction, but that is clearly not what you are talking about.

For example: http://www.amazon.com/Anxious-Pleasures-Sexual-Amazonian-Peo...

And historically in the West, marriage as a sacrement didn't get off the ground until the late Middle Ages: the Council of Verona in 1184 if memory serves. And even long after that it was still mostly a practical matter for most people.

Yep, pretty much. I've only ever dealt with low-load applications so there was no load balancer. You just put the Lisp server in a state where it refuses new connections (serves up a "temporarily down for mx" page, or reconfigure the ngingx front end to do that), wait for existing connections to finish, and then restart. It's no different from any other server.
You start with the mental model of sexuality of three seperate and distinct groups - straight, bi, and gay. You then use that mental model to make a statement "any straight guy will avoid". But because your mental model is wrong that statement is also wrong.

You have absolutely nothing to support your statement apart from your own gut feeling.

I'm increasingly forgiving of that kind of "primitive" code with giant, heavily nested functions, because the worst that can go _wrong_ with it from a maintenance standpoint is heavy duplication and overreliance on mutable state. Those are knowable quantities, and you can attack them systematically. Otherwise, everything is laid out for you in straight-line order. You can just read it and see "this happens before that" without having to run the program or a debugger, and nobody even has to burden themselves with giving "this" and "that" an explicit name(although a comment can be a real boost to finding what you want).

Codebases that are cleverly factored to within an inch of their life are much, much worse. There's no guarantee that the original factoring successfully decoupled anything, and all the additional content allows for new bugs to slip in "between the cracks" - parameters left accidentally unset, a hierarchy of functions getting called in the wrong order, etc. The original programmer has to spend more time coming up with ways to name and enumerate these details, allowing their eyes and thoughts to be taken off of the domain problem. Because more powerful programming tools are used, more powerful debugging techniques become necessary. And when the architecture breaks, the call stacks just get deeper as the heavy metaprogramming guns are brought out to make increasingly clever workarounds to the resulting issues - after all, nobody really wants to try to disentangle the code after it hits the point of architectural meltdown.

Of the two, copy-paste coding is definitely the lesser evil. So I allow some of that first and then clean up the low-hanging fruit.
The way I see it the environment exists for people. Otherwise it has no use at all.

Curious as to how PasswordMaker either uses weak crypto or "suffers from critical flaws". Master Password seems to be more flexible with features like password counter and a customizable password policy (this is especially cool if it is customizable per domain).

The two I use most are the "PasswordMaker Pro" Chrome extension and the PasswordMaker X Android app.

Banning polygamy is in part about equality in marriage opportunity; the risk in some societies is a surplus male population that engages in insurrection and other "crime" or violent behavior. This sexual frustration and social inequality can end up going in many different directions.

Couldn't we, in theory, set it up so that those issues (excluding taxation) are dealt with in a standard polygamy contract.

Of course there is still the issue of determining what the correct resolution of those issues is, so we will likely have a situation of multiple 'standard' contracts, and people picking one without actually researching the differences.

I just read that China has 21 trillion in their banks from people saving. It feels to me China has so many resources that they are unstoppable. Banks lend 10x the assets they have so that is 210 trillion available to lend. Not to mention the assets that the government has itself. There are so many state or partially state owned businesses that they can sell parts of. Even the debts of creating whole cities, it just doesn't seem to me that there is going to be any sort of damper on what China does. Especially with everyone wanting to throw money at them to get into business there.
