"Is this straightforward" can't be figured in 10 minutes for the vast majority of projects. And if you are outsourcing to devs, "has the team done stuff like this" is going to take some time too. 10 minutes simply isn't enough time. Would you have the same thought about 1 minute? 5 minutes? At what point do you say "no, that isn't enough time?". I'll take a few hours as enough time for some reasonably small but not trivial number of projects as a %.
You've just brought up a second issue, partially related to the author's topic. I don't understand why you think the author's missing the point.
There's risks. There's several approaches that come to mind: straight up free software; software and hardware at cost; one of these for a certain period to allow growth before charging for it.

The free software obviously isn't making the company money. However, most internal projects on a budget or startups in this era aren't going to choose IBM's tools. They're too expensive and not that popular. So, by not giving it away, they probably gain nothing in licensing. By giving it away, they gain nothing in licensing but might in the project's goal due to software's advantages.

For at cost, it might be sustainable. They continue to make most of their profit outside IBM. Inside IBM, they offer their products anywhere ranging from free to a considerable discount. The offer covers the cost of the product in terms of delivery, support, hardware, and so on. That money fuels development and/or cost-cutting on the offerings in general. Volume of IBM use alone might add several developers to any product. So, in this model, there's no losses past what they currently charge, the products get funds for development, and there are gains throughout organization via their benefits.

The final model is basically a trial period. The projects or acquired startups get to use their choice of products with discounts ranging from cheaper to at cost to free depending on budget. As budget or success grow, the discount gets lower. Over time, you have a division that's paying full price for the products or begins transitioning to others. You get the benefits of option 2 with some of what general market might pay.

Personally, I think Model 1 wouldn't hurt them except whatever they're charging for internal use. Model 2 seems to be the best with Model 3 having a chance of success. The reason I promote this is that IBM is sitting on a lot more potential than they're using, mostly due to culture. However, I think they could create significant, competitive advantages if all their projects and divisions could inexpensively use every key capability they've produced. Software productivity, security, infrastructure, and administration at the least.
Think longer term, when augmented reality advances sufficiently that it will look like the person is sitting right across from you. No loss of non-verbal communication, which is still pretty limited to a small field of view over FaceTime.

VR won't solve this in an elegant way immediately, although virtual avatars will soon have eye and facial expression tracking, so at least the avatar will mimic your actual expressions inside of a virtual space. The value add there is that you can be in a shared collaborative space with additional objects besides just other people, and interact with those together.
What is the statistical probability that a star will have a planetary disk that Kepler can view edge on and has planets that will occult the star?
The 'cloning' is abstract: it doesn't refer to an actual duplication. Typically code is delegated for performance, and data is copied or constructed. JS is prototypical.

You identify the key point: there is no distinction between classes and instances. Classes are first-class objects, that can inherit themselves, and so on, and so on. Some languages (like Python) find they need these extra levels and introduce 'meta-class'es, this is irrelevant in JS.

Also the last bit is why 'class' is a bad move in ES6. ES6 still makes no distinction between a class and a non-class. It still does not provide classes in the Classical inheritance mode. It is just syntactic sugar for deriving an object with prototypal inheritance. I can inherit a class from an instance, or classes from classes. All it does is bless the approach of using prototypes in ways that are recognizable from non-prototypal languages. The fact that most people will (incorrectly but understandably) assume the JS now has classes is why this is ill advised.

If you've got a computer friendly game controller, one neat way to speed up your culling is to use some key mapping software (Joy2Key on Windows, Joystick Mapper on Mac) to make the controller's buttons map to rating or mark for deletion commands for LR/Aperture/Other. You can then sit back and zip through your shots very quickly.
If these companies are going to flout regulation anyway, what's the point of making regulation more permissive?
Uber's problems are not Airbnb's problems, and I find this continued trend of always mentioning the two in the same breath when it comes to regulation quite baffling.

Opposition to Uber is a clear case of regulatory capture. Every negative outcome that regulation is meant to mitigate (accountability, safety, reliability, discrimination, non-predatory pricing) is better served by Uber (and two-factor location tracking) than traditional cabs. I have not heard anybody raise compelling objections to Uber's model based on objective harm to consumers or market non-participants (negative externalities).

Airbnb's model, on the other hand, is rife with negative externalities. The most significant of these are the degradation of communities that were never meant to accommodate de facto hotels (noise, parking, transient traffic), and the drying up of affordable housing stock for people who actually intend to live in the homes they purchase.
> observing Earth would be seeing lots of war and destruction even though we're currently peacefully collaborating among mankind to discover and explore planets.

If they were observing us today, they'd still see plenty of war and destruction.

It just so happens that a fraction of the worlds population lives under "peaceful" conditions. That's not universally true.
LinkedIn has never been interesting to me for anything other than looking at what past coworkers have been up to. I've never once had an experience where LinkedIn led to a job and in fact after I deleted my account my recruiter email volume dropped by an order of magnitude. I've also read that potential employers search candidates LinkedIn contacts to see if there are any existing employees and if so ask them about the candidate. Governments, employers, media, LinkedIn itself and malicious types frequently use all that personal information people add on LinkedIn to cause harm.

The users are what is for sale on this site. I'm not a LinkedIn user, it's not worth it.

Because one can type "Uber" into the HN search box and read all those threads. Look specifically at the angry posts and frequent rants.

What is the recurring theme in all those angry posts?

It is not about people wondering about trust. The nastiness is all about economic unfairness.

"Trust" is orthogonal to "Economics".

The authors essay is not a "solution" to the issues people are actually debating. Also, the specific issue with DiBlasio was congestion and vehicle caps and not "trust".
All I do is remembering EDDM, Munich's airport, which was finished on the day it was supposed to - and even better, they moved the entire technology of the old airport in a single night (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flughafen_M%C3%BCnchen#Inbetri...).

They generally are not as well regarded. Nice and polished if they work, but less reliable than alternatives.
This is important to us, and was a factor in our decision to go to IBM (which is a little counter intuitive, given IBM's history). Our entire sales model is predicated on people being able to start easily, and grow if they need to. Price, self service-ness, and the content we produce are all important in this model.

The thing about lone wolf developers, and side projects, and one off things people hack together over the weekend is that they sometimes "flip" and become big customers. That's when we win, and we monitor our funnel like crazy and continuously see that it's working. Interestingly, some of the bad customer experiences you see in this thread are the direct result of this model. We aren't very good at handling one offs, or doing things by hand, or consulting, because we focus so much on repeatable, self service offerings — which have to work for small applications.

IBM is interested in three things from us. The technology is good, the team is great, and the way we sell to customers is something they have told us they firmly believe is the future of selling tools to developers. There's a really, really good chance that you'll see other parts of IBM acting like us (and building things for you) before you see us becoming all enterprisey.

We'll keep the name Compose (because it's fabulous!), we'll keep the cheap Postgres option, and we'll do our best to keep that true for years and years.

For what it's worth, I greatly appreciate your comment.

> Ashley Madison facilitated relations between consenting adults.

Unless all parties involved (spouses included) consented, this is partially false. Full stop.

> The jilted spouses had nothing to do with it.

The jilted spouses were betrayed, even if unaware and not "involved" in the sex. Full stop.

Even in cases where cheating is remotely justified, an honest conversation beats sneaking around.
I am surprised more people don't believe all this is just a trick because we base everything on our knowledge what if something out there is tricking us? We see the universe through a telescope and other sensors. But if something puts something in front of it, you will see different reality. It is like if you use binoculars and I put a fake image in front of you, you could start believing there is something else. It is also like magician.

So we could be in ZOO experiment. Other civilizations want to see if we are capable of evolving and joining them so they make sure we are not disturbed by other life out there because if we discover intelligent life, we will freak out. We might start fighting for our survival and it could affect our evolution to higher species.

We could also be a part of some computer simulation (with enough power you can create rules with particles and simulate the universe). Maybe somebody is trying to answer this question: If you create a big enough simulation, will be the simulation able to figure out it, it is being simulated?

Or maybe everything that we see is true but it is just impossible to overcome some physical limitations. We assume there are no limits and everything is possible and one day we will master it. But what if communicating and traveling through universe is nearly impossible? Maybe there are limits that we don't know about yet.

Maybe every civilization reaches point where they know the answer to everything and they don't see a reason to live anymore or they leave the universe and move somewhere else.

My point is that we assume something that will eventually turn out false and everyone will be surprised by the truth.

> is absolutely farcical.

You failed to answer the points made by my comment, which includes the linked points. Did you reject my point of view without giving it an honest read?

> to project what you prefer onto others by calling it the "moral" or "responsible" thing to do is absolutely farcical.

It is not my preference, but my moral view, as I so stated. Is there nothing you disapprove of in society? Racism, sexism, police corruption, robbery, or bribery? Is it farcical projection onto others of what I prefer if I said "The moral and responsible thing to do is to refuse the bribe and report the briber"?

You can deny all my points in my comment (including in the link) and consider my reasoning farcical (I welcome rational debate), but to say that my expression of my morality as a statement of what people should do (the very definition of morality) "farcical" (You keep using that word, i do not think it means what you think it means) is nonsense.

> Ads are an Internet tax.

You are begging the question.

> if that means anybody anywhere can access the content, regardless of monetary means.

Are you saying there is no other way we could do this? If you read my points, you will understand that providing internet access this way costs society more than if we, as a society, paid for the internet and the content without advertising. Perhaps you also skipped my earlier comment herein: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9937155

> The problem is LinkedIn gets its money from recruiters who signed up for premium accounts so they cater to them.

I never thought about it that way, but it makes perfect sense. I deleted my account sometime last year (I think), and I deal with no shitty recruiters now.

This is a good question.

First, I think that LinkedIn includes too many features. Influencers, groups, pulse and stuff like that. I'm still trying to find a use for groups. Something more focused on networking would be great.

Second, as I mentioned in a previous message, LinkedIn caters to recruiters because that's how they get their money, and to me it makes it insufferable. There is this running joke "Being a developer on LinkedIn is like being a woman on match.com".

I believe it would be really hard to monetize a sane and clean website for professionals without turning into this spamming juggernaut.
I can only find one source on using tethers in interstellar travel: http://ntrs.nasa.gov/archive/nasa/casi.ntrs.nasa.gov/2005021.... To quote the article, for energy production:

> Since the tether current is 1,333 amps, ne = 3 X 10‘‘ m-3 and the ship’s velocity is 900
km/sec, the effective electron-collector radius is approximately 3 13 km.

This appears to have a toroidal-field ramscoop as a prerequisite.

For thrustless turning, a 0.06 degree turn requires a tether 10^3 km long:

> To obtain a six-degree trajectory modification during a 1,400-year journey with
the tether current assumed, the tether length must be increased by a factor of lOOX to
equal l0^5 km. This would increase tether mass to 2.7 X lo5 kg.

And this is using a reference ship many scientists are skeptical about:

> ...it is assumed here that the primary propulsion for these ships is the ultra-thin, space manufactured
solar sail unfurled as close to the Sun as possible at the perihelion of a
parabolic or hyperbolic solar orbit. After acceleration to interstellar cruise velocity, it
is also assumed that sail and cables are wound around the habitat section to provide extra
cosmic ray shielding. The sail is unfurled again for deceleration at the destination star.... since the baseline sailcraft for this analysis is somewhat faster, either more advanced sail/cable materials are required or the pre-perihelion orbit is hyperbolic.

I'd definitely categorize that under "experimental power sources and unproven physics." Perhaps you are thinking of a different article?

What's the current story with uber and liability insurance? A while back I understood it to be: 1) uber provided secondary liability insurance while a passenger is actually in the car, and 2) they nominally encouraged drivers to get effective (read commercial) insurance for all other times but didn't take any steps to make sure they actually did.

So you ended up with a bunch of drivers that were driving around with non-commercial policies that the insurance company could easily disclaim in the event of a serious accident, as commercial use would invalidate the entire policy.
Not saying that getting an image of an exoplanet at all wouldn't be exciting, but I'd die happier if we could land a rover there.
Those seem to be good ideas. A nice balancing act, I guess that was what may have made it interesting to analyze for Richard Stallman.
Sorry but there a bunch of reasons to dislike Uber, from how they use the information they gather of you and your location, to all price manipulation it does with surge pricing.

Surge pricing is so intransparent that Im 100% sure that has been gamed against the consumer and the drivers in favor of Uber. Not only that, Uber doesnt tell you how much it costs while its going which is also a huge disadvantage for the consumer. Who knows what happens between what you paid to Uber and what the driver received?

I don't know that all business professionals can be catered to by the same service. I wonder if some (e.g., recruiters) have needs nearly diametrically opposed to others (e.g., developers).

Or maybe it's just a matter of getting the feature set right, something that seems rather off on LinkedIn now.

But I didn't keep up with industry news at the time, so my first indication that All Was Not Well was when I walked into my local Amiga store (Omnitek, in Tewksbury, MA) and the Amiga stuff had been moved aside to make room for IBM PC-contemptibles... some of them with Commodore badges.

Or maybe the next step in the evolution of a civilization is the realization that 'colonizing' is much more fun if the colonists are just dropped off without any technology and let to develop into a civilization and discover who they are and do the same thing over again.
You know, just to keep the game going. All that's needed for that is already encoded in their DNA.

Maybe there are other channels of exploring spacetime than just the physical reality. Maybe that's where all the advanced civilizations reside.. Like the place we are in before we are born or after we die...

1 million years of mind evolution should not only bring advanced tech, but also advanced wisdom and understanding of who we are and what we are doing here. I doubt that expansion to all possible planets is the ultimate goal, the mystery must go much deeper than that ;).

I'm a US citizen who runs a digital agency and lived in Hanoi for a year in 2013-14. When I visited Saigon, I couldn't believe how much of a shit show it was. Whereas Hanoi had the occasional "westerner" who tried his/her hardest to integrate with the Vietnamese culture, Saigon was full of loud, disrespectful foreigners who were just looking to work abroad (illegally) and bum off of the culture and cheap prices.

If you want a real taste of Vietnamese culture, I'd recommend travelling elsewhere. And if you do decide to bootstrap in SE Asia, try to respect/understand the unique environment you will be living in.

Train tickets now are often more than the cost of petrol to drive across the country. So if you'd spend more on a train ticket, why not drive?

Avoiding depreciation of the car or the cost of having one in the first place; lower risk of accidents; you get to use the time to work, read, or take a nap; you don't have to worry about parking. It's not all downsides.
