It's specifically a cost of labor. The business spends $X on you as an employee, and you receive $Y. The difference between X and Y is tax. The fact that some of the difference is technically removed before the money is transferred to you, and some of it is technically removed after the money is transferred, makes no difference in the end.

Can anybody describe what will happen if the clone author file a DMCA counter notice and how after that the non USA company can proceed and prove that the code is really stolen? As i understand the code is not copied exactly, as it's obfuscated in the original, so no way to prove exact copy.

Have a similar situation, my code was obfuscated and somebody just decide to do a reverse engineering and add some features on top, then they put all of this on github under a nice GNU license...

There's an interesting phenomenon where people in developing countries begin to think that Facebook is the full extent of the internet:

Indonesians surveyed by Galpaya told her that they didn’t use the internet. But in focus groups, they would talk enthusiastically about how much time they spent on Facebook. Galpaya, a researcher (and now CEO) with LIRNEasia, a think tank, called Rohan Samarajiva, her boss at the time, to tell him what she had discovered. “It seemed that in their minds, the Internet did not exist; only Facebook,” he concluded. [1]

I feel extremely lucky and privileged to have grown up with an open internet, where there was at least some (diminishing) percent of websites that did not treat me like a product to be marketed to advertisers, prodding and analyzing, constantly gamifying and creeping ever-inwards on my privacy. I deactivated my account a few months ago because it felt like Facebook was taking more from me in terms of time and energy than I was gaining from it.

There is a huge benefit to bringing the connectivity of Facebook to developing countries and remote territories. Many people wouldn't be able to run businesses or keep in touch with family without it.

I just wish it didn't come with the strangely uncomfortable, sell-your-soul type of vibe that a project funded by publicly owned, for-profit venture usually generates. Especially when PR tries to spin it off as a charitable or humane act. Once you go public, it's about profit and it always will be. And a lot of the time, that's fine. Our country was founded and continues to run on capitalistic principles. Just don't hide behind any false pretenses and you'll have my support 100%.

The fact that going public always tends to make a company's contributions to society less altruistic and turn the ethos of the company into "moar profitz foar de shaerhoaldurs" raises some fairly damning questions about our capital system and its tendency towards greed and stagnation.
"Public Cloud" and "Private Cloud" are pretty standard industry terms for using the same orchestration systems on your own data center vs. an outsourced one.
I feel like this hardly touches on the main issues. It really doesn't matter what % of the company you are given, there are tons of other factors (such as the class of stock) that can effect your future dilution, as well as the value of the options independent of dilution (for instance if there is a right to repurchase your options are worth significantly less because there is a huge risk component added to them). TLDR: it's your responsibility to understand the agreement you are signing. If you can't, you need to give it to someone impartial who does and can advise you.

Also, re: #3 after 90 days (3 months technically) the SEC eliminates many tax benefits you get from your options being classified as ISOs, so while extending the time you have to purchase is helpful, it's not like it's as simple as giving you more time to exercise. Many things change after those 90 days that have nothing to do with your company's policy.
I loved Bend when I visited a decade ago. It has a lot of the benefits of Boulder plus an ocean not too far away (but further from an airport and major metropolitan area).

The answer (which is the same as it has always been) is buried at the end:

If young people want to increase their chances of being wealthy, one strategy is to emulate the behavior of older people: keeping an emergency fund, paying down debt, avoiding high-cost credit, and putting money into higher-returning investments

Forth programs are often designed bottom-up and interactively, so you make things move and blink and sense and then compose those functions into more complex ones, interactively playing and testing all the while. It also imposes little structure and the model of the computer is simple. The while package makes for a nice gradual approach to learning how to program and solve problems. Otoh it's not common so learning resources aren't as plentiful as with other languages, so mum or dad better be there to help you out.
Ah, decoupling.

I don't think the US is decoupled at all. It's just the least crappy house in the neighborhood.

"CLIMATE change puts humanity at risk. The Pope’s celebrated encyclical letter on the subject released last month emphasised this risk “for our common home”, arguing that “doomsday predictions can no longer be met with irony or disdain”

I wish these articles would keep the rest of what the pope said: that abortion is destroying humanity and transgender people are against the will of god.

My point is that it's a little silly (and ironic) to rail against religion (and religious leaders for so many years), but then use his ramblings about climate change as some sort of proof and reason to convince us that it's true.
The article mentions Logo as some kind of forgotten relic of the 60s and 70s, but I can remember leaning Logo in primary school in the late 80s.

Leave out how long it took you to learn node.js and parse.com. It's not relevant. Probably get rid of the whole personal skills.

Condense Current/Previous projects into 'experience'. Leave out all non-technical jobs (including your volunteer experience).

Your resume's primary job is to show if your technical skills line up with what they are looking for. It's up to you to pass their tests/interviews, NOT your resume. Don't give them a reason to exclude you. Just have your current skills, contact info and experience. Maybe an objective or technical interests.
I'd argue that maybe things like http://davisut4health.gov/ and http://bart.gov might not properly belong under .gov?

"The protest, flanked by an army of TV cameras and amused onlookers, was in response to a directive from SFPD Park Station Captain John Sanford, who ordered his officers to punish cyclists for "zipping past" cars and supposedly endangering people"

It is endangering people: yourself. You can zip past a car, but if you hit my car, you can't sue me for medical expenses or blame me, the driver, for not being able to get out of the way in time.

I'd agree to this whole heartedly. At first glance (if I'm understanding your implementation correctly), it appears like you're already going to use up the same amount of space a buffer would anyway. In this case you're just tasking the LUA best practice, but making it a feature within Redis itself.

Regardless I think you're really onto something that people want. There's going to be a trade off one way or another, but the Redis community is all about speed, so the faster and more efficient you can do it, the better (:
its not about speed its about power. if hardware isnt even instructed to go into sleep mode for example, there will be large differences.. which tends to happen on macbooks running windows.

Windows isn't installed automatically.

Let me lay out the analogy more explicitly. I install Firefox, and specifically choose for it not to be my default. I later download an updated version and choose default settings in the installation. Firefox then sets itself as the default browser; it overwrites my previous choice in favor of the default.

I install Windows. I specifically don't set explorer as the default. I install an updated version of Windows and choose default settings. Windows overrides my previous choice.

The problem is that you can't be both the bread winner and give equal time to your kids. One will always suffer over the other.

It's much better to have one bread winner and one care giver. It's been like this for most of human history and it has worked very well. I'm not sure why these new-age articles and psychologists think that they can somehow change it.

In general a faster network allows more flexible scheduling, which should give more freedom to tune the scheduler for energy savings. Check out http://web.stanford.edu/~davidlo/resources/2015.thesis.pdf
In the US there has to be a certain level of creativity in the selection and organization to copyright a collection of facts. The classic case is the phone book, where there is no creativity in the selection (everyone with a phone in this region) or the organization (alphabetical order), and so no copyright. Feist vs. Rural Telephone is the major case on this.

That level of creativity is not very high, but it is above zero. See this comment from a couple weeks ago for more on this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9887035

I don't think they're state-owned, but they depend on community and county (and maybe state and Federal) sources for funding. Depending on the community politics, libraries could face funding cuts for running exit nodes.

If the library staff are at all bureaucrat-savvy, they can probably obfuscate the activity. I hope so. I think this is a very good idea.

That's a very good point - the flip side of the same coin I guess, if you don't invest in understanding your OS at all, then when you hit a snag you're really in trouble.

But, I still stand by the assertion that this doesn't really make a difference for most users. I mean, if you're talking about novice users, the ability to check logs, and talk to engineers is pretty useless anyway. The fact you can do this stuff is an advantage only if you're a pretty advanced user in the first place, and know enough to use that information to solve a problem.

That is the upper bound that is generally much higher than the fully diluted count, so not a good proxy. However, it would be a fair assumption on your part since you are not given the right level of transparency. At any rate, probably best to be firm about the ask and just walk away if you dont get it, since it is not a good sign for things to come. Unless, of course, you would be okay to work there if they dont disclose you a salary (salary? dont worry about it...)
Yeah, I hate Windows and IE as much as the next techie, but Bill Gates is a great man -- period. I'm a fan.

Really ? And what if Amazon loses data ? [1] But all data saved to S3 was safe, right ? No. [2]

The key to decent safety is to
1) have an online backup at a different provider you can switch to quickly
2) have regular offline backups
3) actually reinstall from those offline backups on a regular basis

Amazon falls flat on it's face with (1). If you use Amazon's tools you cannot have that, period. I would argue that securing against amazon financial failure is one of the important objectives of (2), so you cannot use glacier for that.

This means that using just amazon (or even having your primary and online backup on amazon) is a bad idea. Given that you can't really use those amazon products anyway, you may as well save the money and go for hetzner and ovh or something like that. Famous customers like Netflix moved away from Amazon lock in [3] and for anything that you want to last, you should too.

We all know that most people's backup strategy tends to be "X" will never fail. X in the worst case is their hard drive. For larger businesses X usually is something like EMC, and we've all seen it fail (usually, to be fair, not EMC's fault). You are replacing X with "Amazon" and that's it.

Well, there’s “right” in some abstract sense, and then there’s “right” as in most profitable. Building user-centered technologies is hard to make competitive with building corporate-centered technologies, especially once big money and bureaucracies have taken a field over from the dreamers and tinkerers and scientists.

But yeah, Ted was right, as were Vannevar Bush and Doug Englebart before him, or Alan Kay after. Some more recent thingies:

Your approach to resume writing is a bit off.

Imagine a site with one button. The recruiter clicks on that button and gets a random fact about you. They'll click the button 6-10 times and then make a "pass" or "continue" decision.

What would you populate your site with? This is basically what your resume should look like.

Every bullet should stand alone and have high impact. When I click on the button, I should get a sentence that makes me say, "Wow, I want to talk to this person."

Compare the impact:

"Online IDE to allow users to develop applications in real time."

"Solo created a cloud based IDE which supports multiple programming languages and allows real time application development."

Be ruthless about cutting out things which fail the "button test" and your resume will look a lot better.
HVDC and long transmission is actually one of the best ways to encourage the expanded investment in solar farms, wind farms, or nuclear facilities.

Usually greatest output potential is far from people, be it offshore wind, desert solar, or even nuclear near large lakes for cooling. Hydro or pumped hydro and geothermal too. If it was easier to move this power from remote regions to population centers with lower losses, clean power would boom.

The megaprojects cited in the article are extreme versions of this, but we could build up to those gradually.

Development of better interconnections and long transmission lines even within countries would be a start, and would encourage better siting for new plants.

I'm not going to defend Mozilla's hypocrisy.

Microsoft is in a different league with Windows 10, however. This was what they dreamed of 15 years ago. Once you install Windows 10, it's no longer your PC, it is Microsoft's.

You can't choose to avoid an update.

Think about that. This means Microsoft can do anything it wants to with your computer:

* change your settings

* farm your compute cycles

* put in advertising

* install a pay gate to charge you per logon

* read your files

* add key loggers

* change your settings at their whim

They'll be able to do any of this whenever they want because YOU, the former owner of the machine, will not be allowed to circumvent or opt-out of "updates."

You haven't upgraded to the latest version of Office? Too bad, we're turning the one you have off.

We just signed a deal with a third party, so that video editing software that used to come with Windows... gone, but feel free to pay for that third party package in the app store.

We noticed you have some MP3 files that we didn't put on your machine. They'll have to go, or you can license them through us.

We're enhancing your security by removing Google Chrome... you see they didn't comply with our updated code signing policies. Sorry.

The last few hiccups with Mozilla are them being the Diet Coke of Evil in comparison.
>think that Facebook is the full extent of the internet:

My mother wanted to "get on the internet" because of the Facebook phenomenon a few years ago. Now she thinks Facebook is the full extent of the internet. Googling something or visiting a "homepage" is completely foreign to her. She'll search in the Facebook bar or ask questions in her feed if she's looking for information. Now she has a smartphone, and outside of texting and the odd call, only uses the Facebook app.

Obviously, her aptitude and usage is minimal, but it's an interesting phenomenon to behold.
Is it an absolute upper bound? Is there a legal prohibition against creating derivative instruments (options, contracts secured by issuance of stock, etc.) in excess of authorized-at-time-of-execution?
I'm suggesting that liberals who don't temper their empathy with practical realities risked being dismissed as holier-than-thou dreamers. I looked up the word temper to make sure I it was the right word, because I'm not sure you are from my culture, and Google suggests it means "their idealism is tempered with realism." I know it probably feels good to author an article like this one, but battles must be chosen and this one is kind of ridiculous in the larger picture of things wrong with the world.

There are no perfect options, only trade offs. FB can provide a service, and if people don't use it, fine. But, let them decide.
