The economy is increasingly moving away from a market model and into a social model. This requires conformity and homogeneity since the economy is driven by morals and ethics instead of voluntary mutual benefit. This means that every world view you possess will be as important as the skills you offer.

Got an invite, but I don't have a Mac. Still waiting on a Windows build.

We live in what is called a free country.

>At the age of 70, after a long -- and I'm assuming successful, based on his highest salary -- career, having only a "meager" savings is no one's fault but his own.

I sympathize with him. I do not intend to save since there is no point when the future of the country is so uncertain.

Well this is a life lesson learned: don't mess with upper management. What they are doing is exploiting their workforce (I mean c'mon a guy saves them $5000/mo and he gets a $50 pizza party?) and the only thing you can do is privately share your discontent behind their backs. Most companies are not open to disruption especially by petty labor.

>I see the behavior of people like Eich as a personal affront to me and people close to me.

Yet you aren't going to get fired for having expressed those views five years ago. How would you feel if your boss decided to fire you over your personal beliefs, overlooking your professional merits? Do you really want McCarthyism again?

I think it depends on the context of content. If the article were actual research then having contextual terminology is acceptable. However, when the article is read by a general audience then the contextual terminology should be simplified.

The content of the article is reasonable. Men and women have different biological tendencies and that is likely not the first thing to pop up in a device designer's mind (if at all).

The title makes me feel like the author is trying to linkbait.

I'm thinking it is the first step to a data type like Ruby's symbols. For the case of spaces I could see the underscore (_) getting used.

    var bigKey = $key_with_spaces;

He should consider leaving Mozilla for Microsoft Research.

If you like Sinatra then check out Nancy.

It's like XAML for the web. I can't wait to write some SPAs with it.

>If bitcoin succeeds, credit mechanisms will be built on top of it, and they'll behave almost identically to credit cards, including have fraud.

Why? One way transactions cut down fraud. It's not inconceivable to have a hardware digital currency wallet that can be used similar to the modern credit card. Banks could issue credit that is spendable in the same way with additional automatic escrow. Why continue to have the fraud ridden system when the alternative exists?

I've been working on an autominer, but there appears to be one in the thread.

    (function uniMine()
    {
        $.getJSON('/unicoin/rock', function(data)
        {
            setTimeout(function()
            {
                $.post('/unicoin/mine?rock=' + data.rock, {fkey: StackExchange.options.user.fkey});
            }, 10000);
        });
        setTimeout(uniMine, 11000);
    })();

I definitely want to explore the requirements to launch an exchange. Stock market bots seem boring compared to the infrastructure the bots are playing on.

>the state cannot imprison a defendant who has been convicted of a crime that has a sentence of a fine and is legitimately unable to pay.

That's assuming the court is obligated to evaluate the person's ability to pay. A person could be in the system for months or years before the court conducts an evaluation.

I doubt I'd find a YC-ruined-my-startup article. To me this seems like more confirmation bias for those that drink the kool-aid.

So corporations aren't supposed to make money from their products? Google docs does not work well on the iPad and I would love something that conforms to the iPad properly.

Can't wait to buy a Mill and mess around with it. Hopefully it isn't more expensive than current desktop or server processors.

Companies that want foreign talent should setup branches in the originating countries. Countries will not grow when their talent is poached. Immigrants also put local workers into unfair competition when their home countries offer social programs such as free higher education.

>It might be a stupid question but I wonder what's considered a leaky abstraction in this case.

I consider poking a hole a leaky abstraction because you are exposing the internals of your stack. The consumer should not know or care that you are using docker containers to serve the application. From a security perspective directly exposing a container may lead to potential exploits of docker itself.

This skips over the hard part: managing docker containers. Poking a hole directly to the container is a leaky abstraction. A reverse proxy like HAProxy or Varnish should be sitting in front of the container.

Once you have the reverse proxy setup the next problem that arises is routing to containers based on the domain. Now your HAProxy or Varnish config is going to get bloated and every time you deploy a container the config needs to be modified and reloaded. By this time you might be looking at chef or puppet for automating the config generation.

Chef and puppet are not simple to learn. They have their own set of quirks (like unreliable tooling support on Windows). I'm in the process of conquering this, but I hope one day there will be a simpler way.

>converts an HTML-based template into the view that mithril expects

So basically XAML?

I was expecting the article to educate me on why holacracy is less effective than hierarchy. However the argument that "holacracy does not work because rich white men fill power vacuums" is fluff.

I think 'icon' fits better.

If only I could drive long distances (300+ miles) in a Tesla.

The project lead explained that he didn't accept unsolicited commits. My code ended up getting merged with some other guys refactored code which eventually made it into the code base.

I'm terrible at open source because I usually fix things that don't need to be fixed (aka refactor). Then people yell at me to go away.

I saw one posting for a C# consulting position January and February. Wanted 5+ years of experience and a degree with no remote option.
