That is absolutely untrue in many (but not all) cases of "intellectual property". Let's take some extremely valuable "IP", Microsoft's "Word" word processor.

If one person had exclusive use of "Word", the "IP" would be worth a great deal less than it is right now, when almost everyone has "Word". The property here is called "network effects", and it also applies to physical property. If only two telephones exist, they're a good deal less valuable than if everyone has a telephone.

Analytical Writing for Science and Technology (1996)
The parents are free to home school their children if they do not want them to learn the curriculum being taught. If we let every parent determine the curriculum for all students, well we would never even get the curriculum defined. So what is taught has to be chosen based on what is most beneficial for the children (as a whole) to be functioning members of society, and not on parent preference.
Could this be related to the hacking team dump?

I get that in such logic you can't deduce "P is false" directly from "Not-P is true", and you have to build an explicit derivation for the former?

"44% said Not enough actual coding"
and
"75% said Freedom to work only part of the year"

...these guys would be disappointed with freelancing :-)

First one is obvious (so many ancillary tasks and worries when freelancing).
Second one sounds good... in theory.
Probably not. It sounds (and looks) like they had bad security practices.
Completely agree that this is a fixable problem that we must resolve before some "responsible" institution comes along and trades our freedom on the internet for security.

I do think that there is an interesting twist for humanity though as we try to move into a virtual space. Much of the social norms that are hard wired into people to allow us to get along involve actual facial and other cues only accessible in person. It will likely take some training and some time figure out how to deal with each other remotely. There is a lot of work in psychology looking at things like "social identity theory" that people have applied to internet interactions (with some colorful summaries [1]).

I do think that many folks will be surprised in the future to find that the internet isn't quite as anonymous as they think. There are only 7 billion or so of us and google and others could process everything we've ever written in an afternoon. Certainly a lot of folks have been surprised to find that their emails aren't very secure and can hang around for a long time. If you wouldn't say something to somebody in person then it usually isn't a good idea to say it online as well with possible exceptions for concern for your own personal safety when constructively criticizing the powerful.

First of all awesome work.

However it seems the keyword 'C++' doesn't work in the "Text search feature", it seems the '+' is stripped from the keyword.
Good point, higher density but also lower voltage, I don't know how these balance each other.

Technical Founders and Startup Ideas
Until they catch on and disallow it, sure :)
+1 for this! Here were some of the concepts from Tim's interviews that I still think about:

1. Meditation comes up in a lot of the podcasts as a performance practice (as opposed to spiritual practice). It's good to hear that reinforced by a lot of successful people.

2. I use a technique from the Josh Waitzkin episode about priming your brain with hard problems to work on while you sleep. You finish your work day with your most intractable problem. That primes your subconscious to think about it overnight (assuming your evening isn't very taxing). Then I journal in the morning to see if I've had any insights. I often find the intractable part was emotional and whatever happens in my brain while I sleep helps me figure that part out.

3. I like the Pavel episode (the Russian strength coach) for reminding me that a lot of strength training is neurological and that not every workout needs to be done to exhaustion. His Russian athletes had a thing they called Grease the Groove, which was essentially to do lots of short sets spread throughout the day. That basically saved my strength work because weights are the part I'm most likely to skip at the gym for time.

4. There's a segment in the Tony Robbins episode where he denies being a motivational speaker. Essentially he thinks he's a strategist that also happens to care about sequencing and packaging his strategy advice in a way that people can hear it. I think that concept comes up all the time at work: it's not enough to be right, people also need to hear you.
A property interest in the US common law system has always carried a right of exclusion and a right of control.

By that definition code is not property.
Yeah I think cases where the shooter is apprehended alive is the exception rather than the rule in these shootings. And as you rightly point out, in many of these cases there were big warning signs before the shooting actually happened. I don't know what the answer is as far institutionalization but it's something worth discussing.

The tough thing about these shootings is that there's really no punishment that can dissuade someone who wants to be killed during the commission of their crime.
Option #3 (quit and work on projects) also seems to come with a salary cut (down to 0). If working for a startup would drastically cut your family's standard of living, so would this option.

Startups have other problems besides the lower salaries you were offered: the vast majority of all startups fail quickly, so there's no job security. If you take one of these jobs, you might be looking for a new job in a few months.

I'd suggest staying at your current job and continuing to look for another one, but not at a startup.

Also, you say that your current company isn't working out for you. Is it really the company, or just the job you have there? Would it be possible to change jobs within your current company?
I'm at the last 10% of a screencast script; there's two more phases after this but for some reason my productivity on the project has slowed to a crawl. I'm not sure how to overcome this feeling.

I love the product.

A lot of companies need exactly this. For example you see Reddit threads where someone badmouths a company which results in a lot of negative "buzz" around it, and it seems to take the company a really long time to figure out the origin so they can take some [hopefully] constructive action (e.g. apologise, tell their side, etc).

I cannot help but wonder if your prices are far too low. $20 for your top end plan seems insanely cheap and unsustainable. I'm not sure exactly what price the market will bare in this case, but I also cannot see you being able to make this a full time job on just $20/month. You'd have to have 166 clients and $0 in running costs just to bring in a $40K/year salary (all pre-tax).

I think if it did kick off a natural area of improvement would just be adding additional social networks, in particular link-sharing sites (Reddit, Digg, 4Chan, HN, etc).
Ask HN: What are the biggest pain points of e-commerce companies?
Thinking about going into e-commerce, just wanted to connect with folks who have an e-commerce business and wanted to know what are some of the biggest pain points that you have right now?
I think i has in the past referred to himself as an anti-game theorist. As in, most of this work revolves around showing where game theory fails (often in spectacular ways).
In the book, Sergey says they simply rip the FOSS license off the header and replace it with a Goldman proprietary license. It's implied that the legality of this is a grey area.

I doubt it. And even if they did, I don't think you should expect their results to generalize.

There's some evidence to suggest that the reason why studies like this so often produce seemingly conflicting results is that there aren't very many universal rules. The same practice can be helpful for one team and harmful for another based on any number of circumstances.
If possible, it would depend on the license. Do we know the software in question?
Ever see that Seinfeld episode titled The Switch? While this situation is slightly different, the same premise applies. This will end very well or very bad and I'm glad I'm not in your shoes.
During the time you worked with them, did you contribute to projects you knew were used by LEOs and intelligence agencies? I'm curious about whether they got into "darker" stuff as they progressed.
This is an awesome tool.

I wonder if whoishiring would consider asking future job posters to format jobs specifically -- maybe JSONify the key details -- so it's easier for tools like this map to scrape.
That's a logical fallacy on its face given the nature of evolution. If there is no pressure to improve then there is no reason for an improvement to take hold, but that in no way implies that a given mechanism is perfected along any access, just good enough.
> Coq, in particular, is a pretty brutal installation process if you aren't already an emacs user.

It's only "brutal" if you're compiling from source, in which case you've got to compile all of the ML and then all of the Coq libraries. That's only necessary for experimental branches though; I've not used an OS which doesn't provide binaries of official releases.

The installation process is basically "apt-get install coq && coqide", or whatever package manager your system uses. That will run the GTK interface which comes bundled with Coq.

The only time when Emacs might have anything to do with Coq is in relation to Proof General; but the only reason to run PG is if you're already an Emacs user. It's been in maintenance mode for years, and being rapidly overtaken by asynchronous interfaces based on PIDE (eg. the jEdit and Eclipse plugins).

I'm a very happy Emacs user, but just because I use Coq via PG doesn't mean I'd ask non-Emacs-users to do the same; in the same way that I access my GMail account via Gnus, but wouldn't try to convince non-Emacs GMail users to do the same.
Thanks for the support. Using Fileloupe as a document browser is definitely a use-case that others have discovered (and one I didn't originally plan for).

Dragging a folder into Fileloupe just loads all of the files in that folder (and all sub folders). The original files are left in place and nothing is copied, duplicated or moved. If you have a folder full of documents (maybe your Dropbox folder), then you can easily drag your entire Dropbox folder into Fileloupe, filter by type (PDF, iWork, MS Office) and then easily browse just the documents you're interested in. (You can, of course, drag in as many folders as you want.)

There is currently no "list view" mode, but others have asked for one as well. I might add one down the road, but there's no immediate plan for one.

Staging is a way to "pin" a single file to the left of the viewer, allowing you to continue previewing other files while a single one stays "staged". Actions where staging is of interest:

* Finding the best photo out of a group (just keeping staging the better one).

* If you're dealing with multiple documents, you might want to keep a certain document staged while you browse through the others. (Maybe an itinerary, index, presentation, agenda, table of contents, glossary, etc...)

* Staging a document is also a quick way to open the same document in two separate viewers. This is helpful when you need to look at separate sections of the same document or movie. (Like non contiguous pages of a PDF document.)

Thanks for the kind words and offer of support. If you have any questions or feedback, feel free to email me directly or post here for others to see.
No, that was a different company. We did plain penetration testings and other Security Firm works like firewalling, hardening. They sold this company, and started the new gig later when I was already gone for years.

> 1) "hot" certificates with 24h ttl signed-off by a longer-living certificate on a more secure machine. Having 1-year certificate private key deployed on a web server is crazy. Especially since revocation does not really work.

This seems like the kind of thing that Let's Encrypt could be good at: if you have a fully automated renewal process, why have certificates last a long time?
Both, or at least I hope so.

The benefits of driver-less vehicles in terms of accidents and fatalities aside, consider for a moment just how under utilized the current transportation capacity is in this country. On average, even at peak drive times, what percentage of vehicles are actually being used? Just look down your street or at any parking lot you pass on your way into the office.

In order to get the convenience of not having to call a taxi which could then require a long wait every time we need to go somewhere, we take out loans for tens of thousands of dollars to own a vehicle that is all ours. We then pay to maintain the multi-ton machine, build custom paths and storage buildings on our homes just to store them, and everywhere we go large swatches of land are set aside just to give us temporary storage for our vehicles since we can't reasonably visit any location without this machine in tow.

In a reality where we must own a vehicle in order to move around quickly and easily, all of these things make perfect sense and are just a part of our lives so much so that we don't even think about them most of the time. This one "little" change can completely transform it all.
To that end you should join LVDev if you haven't (http://www.meetup.com/Las-Vegas-Developers/) and suggest a meetup!
Not everyone in our society will or can work, and those who don't are lucky enough to be supported privately or publically or they're eventually homeless. This is the reality of a conservative value system.

That's not the reality of a conservative value system. That's just reality.

“What they’re doing with Greece has a name: terrorism,” Varoufakis told Spain’s El Mundo. “What Brussels and the troika want today is for the yes [vote] to win so they could humiliate the Greeks. Why did they force us to close the banks? To instil fear in people. And spreading fear is called terrorism.”
Seriously, we do believe these shooting are correlated with just plain mental illness. Which are largely "treated" with "those hardcore FDA drugs" (which SSRIs, due to the low side effect profile, really aren't), so therefore I'm not surprised there seems to be a correlation between the two. However, after a fair degree of study, and discussion with one of my psychiatrists a dozen or so year ago, I don't think there's causation, just correlation. Or at least he didn't believe the "antidepressants give you enough energy to be violent" thesis based on all three generations of them.
> When the engine goes out you generally only have 10 seconds to decide where to land.

That depends entirely on how close you are to the ground when the engine goes out. If its during takeoff, you might have less than 10 seconds to decide. If its during cruise, you probably have much more than 10 seconds to decide - and of course you can continue to adjust your decision as you get closer to the ground.
You haven't found the "one". Proximity is the main driver behind this situation. Work harder at meeting other women before you betray your friend.

Marry her! Just kick the other dude to the curb; unless he's the technical guy and you're the biz-dev guy, then you'll want to carry on the affair behind his back at least until other developers have been hired and your code is well documented.

If you or her are the technical side of things, then just quietly disable his access to the organizations Github and repositories. You might want to reincorporate as well, leaving him off the new papers. "An oversight!" you'll say. Then you promise to get it fixed "As soon as you aren't so busy." Change the company's name while you're at it. Or just recreate the entire business under a new entity.

As far as the girl is concerned, let her be the one to break the news after she's cleared out the apartment, you've moved into different offices (or workspaces) and all email accounts/phones/etc have been locked down with new passwords. Or, just don't break the news at all. Your choice. Same outcome. Bewildered vs. Angry. No sweat off your back.

Just pretend the other guy never existed and don't return any calls or acknowledge him every having been someone you've known.

..a few years later

He shows up at your offices just after you've IPO'd and you've become a paper billionaire. He's got the Winklevoss Twins with him and he smacks you in the face just before serving you with papers.

..a few years after that..

You're the CEO of the largest social network on the planet and people across the world turn to you and shower you with accolades. The old boyfriend was just a several hundred million dollar blip on the screen. The girl, still with the company but not with you, has since moved on to a younger model and you've gone bald and your neckbeard is streaked with grey. You spend a lot of time on 4chan. More than you used to. You'll think wearing hoodies maintains your coolness and connection with the team.

OR..

You could just put the feelings aside and run your company. If the girl wants to end it with homeboy, then leave that between the two of them. Your involvement in things need not be disclosed. Likely he'll quit in disgust or depression or he's actually happy about it because he's been looking for a girl that isn't quite so easily going to jump ship for his cofounder. If they actually break up, and if he quits, then you can get things going with your little superstar. If they break up and he's a pro and doesn't quit, then you'll have to ask yourself, is she worth it? If she is, then ditch the company, marry the girl and then figure something else out. Many people might disagree, but true love is worth more than a dozen successful startups. I married my cofounder and I'd give up the business in a second if I were in a position where I had to choose. But, you gotta know it in your heart. I've been with my wife 4 years now and it still feels like the first day.

Good luck. Oh and post pics (of the girl..) We need to see what this startup-wrecker looks like!

There is a very serious benefit to recognizing a losing hand and folding before you're in too deep. You see a weakness in Google's execution, and I'd agree in some places, but there is some wisdom in closing up failed experiments rather than doubling down as Microsoft has done with several of their investments in the past.
Thanks @t0mk! I've noticed that devs who've had to be "in control of their commitments" do a much better job planning, estimating, and setting realistic expectations.

This is true IF you pay ANOTHER $10 for the iPhone/iPad app. I'm a little annoyed by this as it touted as a feature on the desktop app without mention that it's not free. I will probably still get the one for iOS but I just don't like what feels a little bait-and-switchy.

The original description we emailed around is probably best:

[snip]

You've heard of Startup weekend, right? You spent an entire weekend working on something and then, come Monday you've got yet another project sitting on your plate that needs your attention. Now what?

I floated an idea by Steve Wainstead a while back for something we're calling "Finish Up Weekend." The idea is, take one of those projects that's part way finished and FINISH the damn thing! So, that's what we're doing.

Tomorrow morning around 9, Steve and I will be setting up shop at WIP and digging in to projects that we both want to make happen. No checking email. No checking Facebook. And especially, no working on projects for clients. This is all about YOU and that project YOU want to work on. Be prepared to show off what you finished!

We'd love to have you join us. Come on down and make something awesome.

Hope to see you there!

[/snip]

What gives this idea some mojo is it's an event. It's an incentive to set aside everything for one weekend to push the project over the finish line. And you're in the company of others with the same goal; this creates peer pressure to avoid distractions and stay focused until the end.
Never said all jobs would be automated in my lifetime. I'm thinking long term (1000 years). And maybe we won't automate all the jobs, but the only jobs left are ones only a few people can do.
