It would be fascinating to know more about how Bose funded his company without venture captital. Has that story been told somewhere? And, who's "Lee"? Thanks!
Probably the closest thing to it, but it’s still functionally under the authority of Norway.
What’s sad is that he had to exit Apple and found a company. Maybe to sell it back to Apple in the future.

It seems symptomatic that he couldn’t inside Apple.

Sad that it’s so hard to do some things inside humongous companies. Even when you’re obviously incredibly talented and accomplished.
Society deify successful people when in reality they are nothing more than serial lottery winners. For every "Ronaldo" there are a myriad of people trying to get there that will end their life as losers because they made an high-stakes bet and lost. The truth in unconfortable and nobody wants to listen about it.

I don't want to sound overly critical of your explanations but you seem to ignore the most important difference:

We play soccer with our entire bodies, muscles, heart, legs, lungs get a workout. Not to insult the players but mind and thought processes are somewhat secondary, it is about the "lizard brain": attack and defend with instincts and reflexes.

When you play checkers it is your mind that gets a workout. It is the intellect that gets a workout. The exact opposite of the soccer.

There are almost no similarities between the two! Making it into a physics simulator does not make it a physical excercise...
Thanks for bringing this up commoner and really appreciate your patience. You are absolutely right that we are open sourcing our software - there were some delays as we completely rewrote our desktop application from scratch.

This was a major concern from our new partners as well, as they have been asking us to release the code as well - we are all on the same page here.

While I can’t give an exact date, I’m confident that the rest of the code will be released in 2 weeks or less. Along with our QT/CPP cross platform application, we will also be open sourcing our search engine, private.sh!

Hope this helps and sorry again for the delay,
Andrew
Well, I'm not actually passing anything through proxies. Instead, I'm creating new loopback interfaces, lo:0, lo:1, etc. Presumably any tooling that monitors an interface could be set to watch those (in fact, you can create the interfaces on a machine, and leave them up in between runs, telling Damocles about them using 'register_interface'. That way they stay consistent and can be referenced by other tooling).

You can actually use this to test multiple systems working together as well. This is completely agnostic to what's running on the interfaces. As long as everything can be run on one machine (at least until I find the time to do the work to get it working remotely), you can set up multiple interfaces each of which runs an instance of one app and then another set of interfaces that each run an instance of another app (etc), configure the apps to talk to each other however you like, and then start monkeying with the connections between interfaces using this.

I'm not familiar with generative testing but in general, my goal wasn't to provide a testing framework for distributed systems, but instead a library with higher level primitives that could be used to easily compose pretty complex failure scenarios.
> "Let It Crash" (and handle the crash)

panic() and recover() does that. It's not exceptions, but it does exactly that.
Released it? They should have built it into the OS (on by default)

I still don't quite understand why they chose antivirus as the extra piece of software that requires a legit windows install. People running pirated versions of Windows without antivirus are exactly the people causing grief for the rest of us (spam, botnets).
1. Blockchains actually allow for "provably-fair" (cryptographically determined) lotteries. A lot more fair and trasparent than national ones.

2. This specific lottery uses stablecoins, with a value tied to the US dollar.

So both of your points are invalid here.
Yeah, I'm going with "I'm here for you."
Yes, if it's business is day trading. The success rates of other kinds of businesses vary.
If you've got a company which is worth a billion dollars in assets but is in too unfashionable an industry to be trading at more than half that in stock (and there isn't a more obvious problem you've missed like unsustainable debt), someone will eventually buy it to liquidate those assets, and earn the holders a nice little profit on the way. And value investing is all about the other side of the beauty contest - looking for the companies investors don't think are handsome which are strong enough to end up generating the sort of profits that will eventually lead investors to conclude they're not that ugly after all.

The irrationality is more on the upside: tech stocks whose fundamentals make little sense you suspect will go up in value in the short term anyway because of FOMO. A lot of people have made fortunes on those kind of bets, and there are definitely people day trading WSB hyped stocks who don't forget to sell.

Thank you for posting. If I may add to your conclusion: it is important to remember in our work that it is not the physical product that is the result; it is the experience of others. The carpenter makes much more than the chair. The carpenter makes the pleasure of observing the chair and sitting in the chair. I think that the Japanese have a very good sense of this in their craft work. Thank you, again.
This looks great. I am not sure about the different handling of globbing, because globbing seems more common on the command line's everyday use than complex indexing; double quotes are manageable and they could be the default outside top-level context. Zsh's "don't expand words but expand wildcards" seems like a nice middle ground.
And for early trades of a stock, in the analogy of the poster you replied to, the seller is a creator (inventor, builder, etc.) who needs money to build or expand and a buyer provides money for him to do that for part of future profit. That should be a profitable trade for both sides.

The secondary market (where people just swap ownership) serves (spikes and manias aside) to reallocate money to more productive companies. This, by the way, is the area that is really suffering under current "only invest in indices because EMH" mantra. My 2c.
As a black person, why does this have to be targeted at 'Minorities' ?

Other than that...it looks good.

It's a cell phone. Much easier to misplace, lose, have fall out of your pocket, etc than any other computing device.

Again, it's not in the same realm considering that it's protected inside the ROM of the phone. Even if you HAD my Android phone, it's not game over. Please, go buy a Droid X, upgrade to the latest OTA rom for which there is no root exploit.

Then try to get into the (already very limited) timestamp/tower data on my phone. You won't be able to. That's my point. On the other hand, with your iPhone, like I said, "I've already got your phone" and it's game over for your location data.

How about just girlfriends, bosses, etc? Anyone with a usb cable and another mobile phone or laptop knows (roughly) exactly where you've been going for months.
Note: your "zone d" is not my "zone d". AWS shuffles zone IDs across users. See http://alestic.com/2009/07/ec2-availability-zones
"Commercially reasonable" is a standard legal term used to define efforts short of "best efforts". It allows for the party also look out for its own commercial interest in a way that's consistent with industry practice. So, for example, if Amazon had to choose between fulfilling the SLA and keeping it's own retail site up, it could be held liable under a "best efforts" standard but not under a "commercially reasonable" standard.

It's kind of unfair to describe these as "weasel words" when it's unlikely that any decent lawyer would let them sign up to something that exposes them to more liability than this. Customers who are using any cloud service provider have to expect reasonable steps to maintain availability, not an absolute promise.
Having never seen the contents of a national security letter, I wonder what the ramifications would be if you opened it and read it aloud for the first time in front of a large (or small) group of people. Or perhaps have it read aloud to you in front of a large group of people. Certainly you can't be expected to know that is going to gag you until you've read it once and by that time it would be too late.

Is it worded such that the whole group of people would be gagged? There's got to be some interesting way to circumvent it.
Why the "Average user asks:" critique when the target audience (as you acknowledge below) is clearly technical. Anybody with networking experience, ie. setting up a web-server (even for local dev) will know what localhost is (they type it in their address bar to access the "local" server)...etc
Hmm not sure why I got downvoted on this.. I didn't mean that Reddit went down but that they froze the creation of new content because of it.

"reddit is in "emergency read-only mode" right now because Amazon is experiencing a degradation. they are working on it but we are still waiting for them to get to our volumes. you won't be able to log in. we're sorry and will fix the site as soon as we can."
In your opinion, if there were no “under-the-table quid-pro-quo deal” giving Elop an incentive to make a deal with Microsoft, what would he (or another CEO) have done instead?

The Nokia board fired the previous CEO because, well, his pet strategy was failing. So some kind of radical shakeup was needed. The two most obvious alternatives were “get in bed with Microsoft” and “get in bed with Google”. While Google doesn’t need Nokia’s help promoting Android, Microsoft desperately needs some major player to support Windows Mobile. Therefore Nokia is in a better negotiating position w.r.t. Microsoft than w.r.t. Google.
Canada is doing pretty well too, if you need a more geographically literal example. Colloquilly, the anipodean democracies are considered "western" in their culture (as opposed to traditionally Asian).
You're confusing structured finance and derivatives. While this may seem easy to do, its based on a simplistic inference of the english modifiers. The primary things that got the housing crisis going were variations of debt contracts. The parties to these contracts were borrowers (ie, home owners) and Lenders (banks, etc). It takes both sides to agree on entering the underlying contracts (eg subprime loans). There is real cash between the parties and real "services" being rendered in the sense of capital allocation in the economy. A derivative, on the other hand, is a contract between to parties that <has nothing to do contractually> with the underlying assets, with respect to their initial deployment of capital. Example: a derivative on a stock, is not a contract between the stock issuing company and another thrid party; the derivative contract does not fund a business plan directly nor receive payment from the company per-se [1]. The controversy around derivatives and their regulation has <precisely> to do with this disconnect, actually.

Is this pluggable? Can users stick with South (or whatever migration backend) and still use the same API?
Or, as I've said elsewhere, you can get involved.

Go take part in local politics--the local stuff has more impact on your day-to-day living, and it's easier to get into and be a part of.

Don't like the government you've got? Get in there and start fixing it. Resistance is irrelevant; government's there and it'll keep being there whether you try and fix it or not.
That doesn't make it not evil.
Shouldn't they at least produce a working prototype before they can patent it? There's a long way from idea to actually putting it in practice.
My teenage self spent quite some time hanging around Amiga users, watching demos, reading Amiga technical manuals and playing out tunes in protracker.

Nice memories.
I think the title of this thread should be edited since its highly misleading and first thing people thing is their bank account was closed which would be a huge kick in balls to bitcoin.

edit: quite possibly this is a false rumor being spread by malicious party to sink bitcoin for their profit, now the title and the tone makes sense to me, as well as lack of any news about this from bitstamp

edit2: checked r/Bitcoin seems convincingly legit but still nothing official from bitstamp, might be good idea for people to use better exchanges like Kraken anyways, those guys are cool
It must be Caldwell's left hand shown in the inset

"Caldwell accidentally sawed off much of his left index finger with a table saw in 2001. Doctors were able to reattach the severed portion, but Caldwell subsequently had it removed so as not to hinder his climbing career."

I am quite sure Sony owns a lot of patents Apple needs. It's unlikely Sony and Apple would enter a patent war.
I've recently started using Falcon, and also contributed some code to it (e.g. an even faster router which generates and compiles python code representing the URI tree).

The main benefit for me, and the reason why I chose Falcon over other frameworks, is that Falcon is entirely designed around the task of creating REST APIs. You wouldn't use it to create a blog or news site or whatever. You would perhaps use it to create an API backend for any of those though.

This makes it light-weight, and also opens the possibility for some design decisions that would not work in a more general purpose type of framework.

In that regard, Falcon is definitely more opinionated than other frameworks (it's opinion being that you should build REST APIs), but in others, such as choice of response encoder, storage et c, it's not.
Where did they say they are locking down /System ?
The problem is that "ETF" is actually quite a broad term. As far as I can tell, many ETF's do run a sort of "fractional reserve" ratio. There was an article here not long ago wringing its hands over that danger which I can't find right now.

The answer to 2 I think depends on how dividends are handled. Obviously if you hold the shares yourself, you control what happens to the dividends, and are free to take them or reinvest them as you wish.

For 3, it depends on the ratio of index trackers to managed funds in the market, but yes, this can have a noticeable effect. A share price always dips when the it's removed from one of the larger indices; you can see an example here: http://uk.finance.yahoo.com/q/bc?s=TATE.L&t=2y&l=on&... - they were removed from the FTSE100 in March 2009.
It just feels like it's getting hammered into programmers' minds to never use unescaped strings in DB queries all the time. Quite hard to believe that a decent programmer would concat such raw output to an SQL string unescaped. Nevertheless I'm sure this happens all the time.

The interesting thing about this report is how fast you can brute-force calculate this in order to find a magic byte sequence.
Satellites will never replace aircraft until they can be "on demand". Orbits have been able to be tracked for years... changing orbits demands fuel that can't easily be replaced.

A fast aircraft with stealth is best for "cuban missle crisis" type issues. A slow one for less urgent requests for tactical concerns.

As of current public knowledge, UAVs do not have the type of speed or range that we're talking about here as being required... as far as we know...
It seems that we are at the inflection point of the sigmoid:

I never inquired about it, because I was afraid that I might respond with something I would later regret. However, I speculate that in their case it was because they must have spent way too much money initially, when they first opened up their offices in my country. I don't know whether the salaries they offered initially were a part of aggressive hiring plan or just a result of someone's incompetence in HR; given the usual level of competence in their HR, it would be really hard to tell which of those two it was. However, the job was really good in all other respects.

Online discussion confuses me.
Still, whatever in that video triggered the detector, that such ban happens at all is worrying. This, plus Google's penchant to ban you across the board for a perceived violation in one service[0], means you absolutely cannot trust Google with your speech.

Dumb question but has a country ever implemented a mandatory profit-sharing law?

I.e. still capitalism but the owners of companies are required to share X percent profits with employees?

If you don't pay extra care to updating Arch, it's possible that an update will brick your OS install requiring a fresh install. Granted, they usually tell you on their websites when this happens along with how to not brick your OS, but you have to be diligent to check every time.

The heading, "Python: faster way" doesn't suggest that to me.

And when I see comments like https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8814309 I feel I'm not the only one who came to conclusion that the first column was meant to be the fastest.

And how should the reader judge the significance of timing differences without knowing any variance or spreading of the measurements?

Maybe some short headings like "80% faster", "no significant difference" would make things clearer. Or color coding.
I bring up this point everytime the debate comes up. The talent war is real. The immigration problem is real. But I have yet to see anyone (myself included) present a valid solution.
This is Robert Barnes, a distinguished civil rights lawyer, who has taken on several Federal Cases, and is currently on the Trump legal team and in a Federal building with other Republican lawyers yesterday and has met with Trump personally. He's not some random lawyer. He's got a distinguished career and has earned my respect.

> Also, by the way, from the actual call, it appears that Trump is committing a crime on the call, by attempting to get a government official to break the law

I don't think you've listened to the full call. It's an hour long and I have. If you had, you would have noted Georgia officials said there was no issue with ballots of dead people cast (they said this was legal) and the context of the 4 minute clip is totally wrong.
A online bank with IMO great savings and money management features. They also had a fairly competitive high-yield interest rate on their savings accounts.

Yeah, I mean I don't care what the primary identifier for a user is. It started out with phone numbers which I was okay with at the time (since I
only chat with ppl who I'd be okay sharing my cell# with anyways), though I now see it as a potential privacy concern. But the idea of forcing me to submit a personal piece of information (the name field cannot just be an empty space) doesn't correlate with "privacy" and security that they so strongly portray as their priorities. The fact I can't even access the app anymore unless I populate the First Name field with some kind of text -- information I'm never going to share with another user anyways -- is really disappointing and frustrating.
Just meant to be humorous, does your brain not provide any illumination, while at it, do you have time and energy left to address other then software in itself, for adding to the cycle of aggregate rentier-ism?
The trick with economics is to realize that 99% of all discussion is about a particular flavor of economics. It's almost always about theory and implementation, not principles and abstractions. Inevitably, there is also a significant political aspect that is often (but not always!) overlooked.

Even if there is a "raw" theory of economics that describes the "what" in a universally agreeable way it'll never tell us the "why" and "how" of it, let alone how politics should (or should not) be intertwined with the issues.
Unlikely, there's too much pride in each local language. Might all converge on English over a couple of generations, though, but more for commercial reasons.

There are narrow cases where advertising can be societally beneficial, but this is not the case the vast majority of the time.
It's conceptually the same, but JWT implies a specific data format standard which might be a more involved change architecturally.

I'm mentioning the cookie signature stuff because it can be added in an almost blackbox way at the web framework level. Whenever you send back something with set-cookie, also set a signature. Whenever receiving a request, check for that signature too. Though I guess it's not a good idea to try to "roll your own" if your web framework doesn't already support this out of the box.
