See also "Pierre Menard, Author of the Quixote" by Borges (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pierre_Menard,_Author_of_the_Q...) about the differences between Menard's and Cervantes' Don Quixote. Both the same text, 100% identical, but one written in contemporary times to the setting, one in modern times. The modern 'copy' has a different meaning, due to the authors different circumstances, despite the content being syntactically exactly the same. Really interesting concept, like all of Borges, really!

Crucial aspects to outsourcing WordPress projects
Can someone explain how Amazon is different (in investor mindset, not legality) from a Ponzi scheme? It seems like retail companies (and even some startups) exist solely by churning investors with new money. Everyone invests based on expected profit at the end of the rainbow, and a lot of money is made selling to the next set of investors who want to carry on rainbow-chasing.

If Amazon were to stop and start making a profit, wouldn't they immediately be undercut by the next generation of quasi-ponzi companies who are now willing to sacrifice short term profits?
If I wanted a hybrid format, WavPack [1] would have been great, if only there was more ecosystem support for it.

I'd have much preferred an honest and evidence-driven response instead of a sarcastic one. This kind of attitude won't help your cause, nor your startups, get the good kind of traction at all. Some food for thought.

Good luck!
I think those to examples are intended to describe "privatization" as it's often done (i.e. badly from an purely economic perspective, because it's partly/mostly ideological) which is, as you note, the exact opposite of the article's focus, which is state run stuff that makes economic sense.

That's combined with pedantry about the term "socialism", which has confused some readers of the comment.

So kristopolous appears to approve of certain things being run by the state, and would prefer that not to be described as socialism, as it might put people off who immediately dismiss anything with that label, and lead to more economically silly privatization or public subsidy of private profit.

To some extent, yes. However, JPEG was also patented and that did pretty well. Someone made a lot of money on licensing.

I think WebP stands a pretty good chance of supplanting JPEG on the web but it will still be used in lots of places.

LinkedIn is not a social network. It's a site which holds my CV and then recruiters message me with Job Specs. I either like the spec or don't, and sometimes I get interviews from it.

I accept any friend request from recruiters/colleagues and beyond that never ever use the site.

My justification is I like getting job specs, and the cost is essentially nothing. Sure I hate that it's got a side panel asking me to connect with an old Wheel of Time fansite e-friend from Norway who was in my email contacts and I've not spoken to in some 15 years but it's hardly the end of the world.

Quite a lot of private factories have failed in the west too. Factories are very vulnerable to globalisation.

Utilities, on the other hand, are a natural monopoly inherently tied to a geographic location. They're not producing a "product", but instead a commodity that's the same for all customers. Many utilities are mostly forms of "road" - they just happen to be wire-shaped or pipe-shaped roads.

Note the mostly. Telecoms and electricity have two parts: the central, complex, services; and the big mostly-dumb network.
There is for example http://handsontable.com/

I really wish there was a "syntactic-sugar-on-top-of-C++" language that would compile down to C++ and have 100% compatibility with the existing C++ ecosystem (so that you can just directly use a class from any C++ library).

Something like TypeScript is to JavaScript, or like Kotlin is to Java. Would make the experience much nicer without having to wait on the slow C++ standardization process or deal with all the backwards compatibility baggage from the past (to a degree).
If you read further in the article, you'll see that your idea was the original interpretation, but has since been supplanted. For instance, the symbols are more evenly spaced on the outside, but get more cramped towards the center. And where two symbols are overlapping, the inward symbol is on top (and so was pressed later).

>It's as if you do not understand that Theo did not comment on that LWN page...

The comments in question where in large responses to Theo's claim, which in turn was part of the article on which the comments are based.

Vezzy-fnord used this to paint LWN comment section as being populated by narrow-minded, Linux-centric people with vendetta's, totally ignoring that the comments by 'spender' were perfectly in line with the comments typically uttered by Theo, whose solution was under discussion.

And as to further underline how this was all bs from start to finish on Vezzy-fnord's part, the guy in question (spender) who was making the aggressive criticism is not some Linux zealot, he is criticizing Linux security solutions in exactly the same manner.
Of course it does, that's equivalent to what torrents do. The "index" and "length" would constitute the copyright violation.

In the same way torrents are lists of hashes, which are used as keys to find byte blocks in the "cloud" of torrent clients.

Ex IBM'er here and I recall it as Blue Dollars. I was in one of the UK labs so 'bucks' isn't a term we really use.

When it comes to software, you pretty much can use any IBM software you want (or are told to). A lot of the Rational products were heavily pushed for teams to use, although I think you had to justify why you use it. This caused some contention, as I worked in automated UI testing and the capabilities of IBM products vs open source alternatives varied quite widely. It was always fun justifying your decision to management when the IBM product didn't match your needs.

But when there is a service cost things are different. I got pulled into my manager's office being showed my bandwidth and storage cost of my Lotus Notes emails and was heavily encouraged to download my emails locally as the department was charged. I think there were similar considerations when it came to using backup software into their TSM - I don't remember exactly but have a feeling you needed management approval to use it.

Then you have the consideration of building one product from another. For example, I worked on WebSphere Application Server which was the app server of many other IBM products. There you have the consideration of which departments earn the revenue when a core product is shared.

It's got some severe built-in limitations. Firstly and most importantly, there is no support whatsoever for the proper tail calls (and F# is using the .tail prefix quite a lot).

Secondly, no stack allocation (value types in .NET).

Another thing which may harm optimisation significantly (although not sure if F# is using it - but the other functional languages most definitely would have benefited from this) is a very low hard limit on a method size, which forbids any extensive inlining and specialisation.
Yes, Gtk+3 Firefox uses Gtk+2 plugins. Hypothetical Gtk+3 plugins are not supported.
It was more that it didn't offer enough benefits. It was "the files are a bit smaller".

Image files don't take up that much space anyway so that is less compelling than for video compression.

What they needed to do is add more features, like WebP has now:

* Single format for photos and diagrams
* Transparency
* Lossy and lossless in the same format
* HDR
* Tiling of large pictures

Hopefully those features (especially lossy transparency) will help WebP do better than JPEG2000, though I'm not holding my breath. If IE and Firefox ever add support for it then I think web developers will start using it a lot.

Maybe taxes on profits were created so that companies invest their profit instead of hoarding it or giving it to shareholders, creating jobs and infrastructure in the process. As far as I'm concerned, Amazon is using its profits (or lack thereof) exactly as intended.

> This is a specious comment because you now have the value of hindsight.

No it isn't.

The problem is to accurately put a value on your company and it's future.

It isn't rare at all to find founders that are in the most literal sense of the word delusional about what the value of a company is.

I've had this with one of my co-founders who held out for a much larger buy-out offer than one that we had on the table and then subsequently ended up being extremely upset when after blocking that particular deal he could not find a better one and ended up taking much less from the company than the offer that had been on the table already.

I'm sure that his hindsight told him that maybe his valuation wasn't all that accurate after all.

Hindsight being what it is - 20/20 - if you remember that a price is never right (sell it: you're too cheap, don't sell it: you're too expensive) that there is room on both sides and overlap between the ranges is required to make a deal.

If you always hold out for better you will never make a deal. So knowing when an offer is 'good' is the key and being realistic about valuations will help you to figure out what is good.

Mark Zuckerberg (not Zucherburg) never intended to sell at all, that's a key difference.

I'm interested to know if this is really true.

I don't think non-contact sports require someone to sacrifice health, except for wearing out their body...

And I'm not convinced they wear out their body more than manual laborers.

And there is definitely a qualitative difference between a 16 year old working hard as a teenager to make it as a professional athlete, and perhaps wearing out their body by the end of their career as a professional athlete (say, 30 years old on average), compared to a 16 year old using substances that would count as "doping" to most people.

To put it plainly:

A 16 year old boy who shows promise as a professional athlete can work hard, realize that they're not cut out for the big leagues after college (22 years old), and go on with their life with basically no ill effects aside from the chance of a major injury sustained during their sport.

Whereas a 16 year old boy who shows promise as a professional athlete, works hard, and also dopes for 6 years until he's 22, and then realizes he's not cut out for the big leagues, has probably irreparably damaged his health.
The regular "laddering" process was a massive pain and a huge burden on staff that took away from doing real work. It also had the effect of forcing the most talented people out of the company as they tended to focus on actually building the things the clients wanted rather than playing the ranking game. Ranking was strongly correlated to time spent in the office rather than achievements or output.

I don't think this will change the mindset internally although it's a positive move. There is a big company culture of not trying to excel at anything for fear of making a mistake and looking bad. The firm is also full of jokers who haven't got a clue about software and don't even think it's a technology company. Lots of politics too.

It's interesting to think that very probably during the lives of many of the people on HN, we're going to see some pretty massive geo-engineering projects on a global scale. Probably 2040-2050 or thereabouts, once the basic fact of climate change is utterly undeniable to even the loudest idiots.

A decade or so after that we should have our verdict whether intelligence is truly a lethal mutation, or not. Of course it's still only a sample size of one - Mayr's argument has little to do with the Drake equation.
I think that's pretty sound advice, and different from "drcross" I don't think you'd have told Mark Zuckerbert that his company is not facebook ;-).

On a more serious note: I'd say that from within a startup it's pretty hard to get an unbiased view on ones relation to competitors. So what categories would you recommend for a "realistic evaluation" of ones' company in the world?

We are talking professional competition here, the result of your logic is that anyone who wanted to compete professionaly would have to subject themselves (and their health) to doping.

I don't want to see such a future, where young athletes have no choice but to put their health at severe risk in order to be competitive.

And of course should doping be allowed as you suggest, and naturally everyone would have to use it in order to be competitive, we would see continued escalation in the amount/strength of doping used, since else you would not get a competitive advantage.

In short I can't understand your reasoning.
Actually, Earth’s Cousin May Be Nothing Like Earth at All
I don't understand your question, it was developed by a drug company. I would think that if their promise to not to make profit off its sale would put a damper on similar development. Over thirty years to reach this point, that too would be a barrier to others trying to solve the same issue. So that is at least two easily identifiable issues.

Simply put, if government is not going to develop or contract the development of a drug why should a company bend to pressure to produce and sell it at cost? However in this case this drug had support of the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation so not looking to profit off of it makes sense and may also be part of an agreement for funding.

Coding in plain C99 with some discipline can actually get you most of the benefits of C++, without any of its quirks.

The "object-orientedness" of C++ really boils down to implicitly passing the this pointer to member functions, inheritance + virtual functions, and namespaces. All of these can be emulated in what I would call "C with discipline". Just be consistent in your naming conventions, always use a common prefix for globally visible functions and types, and use structs of function pointers whenever you really need virtual functions.
I'd be really interested to learn more about the "mobile greenhouse where you can grow your own coffee beans. Do you have anything written up anywhere?

The Municipality obviously dictates the goals, like 100/100 fiber in the most remote parts of the area (which I just signed up for), and the company gets to execute them in the way it sees fit.

The municipality housing company is operated the same way.
> But imagine a world in which Newton ... built a complex machine that, given the relative positions of a set of planets, could work out their subsequent trajectories..

Thanks for the reply, I see what you're saying. Just to get metaphysical though, can't one argue that that's essentially what Newton did? Granted the machine he made was mathematically elegant, and the study of its components has been fruitful, but nonetheless it's the nature of physics that one never knows whether a formalism is really describing what's going on, or whether it might someday be superseded. Can we not imagine, say, a future where the art of warping spacetime is so well-understood that Newton's theories about a gravitational "force" are seen as just a bit of predictive machinery - useful for making approximations, but bearing no connection to the "truth" underneath?
