The ebook of Accelerando is even free. Now all of you with ebook readers have no reason to go read it right now! :)

Furthermore, his unpublished but freely available novel Scratch Monkey is also a very good read. If you've read Accelerando it is interesting to see the formation of many of his ideas.
One small thing: once you know an email address subscribed you can mailbomb it with unsubscribe links (you might want to throttle those / don't send them more than once).
Appreciate the comments. Its actually funny you mention that, as we were initially titling this role "CTO" which resulted in potential candidates who were just too hands-off by that point in their career. I've restructured the role and search to VP of Engineering just because there will be plenty of coding and hands-on work in the beginning which should ease up as the company hires more engineers.

I'm thinking reworking my ideal profile to 8-12 year candidates that are Directors, Leads, or Architects who are still very hands-on. The tough part of the search is the intangibles, like finding someone who still has the motivation and passion of someone in their early/mid 20's.
> The USD Wallet List is the list of states in which they claim to have licenses.

No, it's the list of states that the wallet supports. Essentially, it's a list of states in which they believe they have the right to operate legally. Several of those states listed, for example, have no money transmission license requirements.

And I believe NY has said that any enforcement will only happen after the Bitlicense is in place.

I'm sure Coinbase has problems we're not aware of (any rapidly growing business does), but they're clearly striving for legal compliance, arduous and farcical though those legal requirements may be.
This was the exact answer I was hoping wouldn't happen: explaining nothing, but contributed for snark.
I don't think I buy the argument everyone makes about a Facebook presence being obligatory. Are we to believe that the only way people hear of new sites and services is through Facebook? If that's true, then how do people hear about your Facebook page, to begin with? Or is it that they'll supposedly only interact with your site or service if it's via Facebook? You don't need a Facebook page for people to pass your URL around or mention it in their wall feed thing.

If the idea is that people will no longer bother going to a website or surfing the web in general unless "facebook.com" is somewhere in the URL and/or that they will only communicate with you via forums, wall posts, messaging on Facebook itself and nowhere else, then . . . well, I give up. That's not a world in which I want my service or site to exist and I'd rather not do it at all than do it as some sort of trivial Facebook Serf on their land, by their rules, and with their citizens. If we've come to the point that the entire success and popularity of a service and its continued lifeblood is owed to existing on and interacting via Facebook, then we should wave the white flag and admit we have lost the internet.
From the article: The case against Drew hinged on the government’s novel argument that violating MySpace’s terms of service was the legal equivalent of computer hacking and a violation of the CFAA.

This could mean that websites that have Terms of Service agreements preventing linking to their site could constitute a Federal crime with mandatory jail time? That doesn't seem right to me.
I think it's a good question to ask AVOS. It could well just be broilerplate legalese.

That said, it's quite easy to backup your Delicious links. Probably a good idea to do that regularly regardless of the terms.
Thanks, I really appreciate your time / comments. I agree with you on having an option and thought about a trying to do something in two parts or height adjustable but either raised the cost a lot or made it unwieldy (in my thinking).

Yes, the desk on here was my inspiration for trying to get this project going at all and there are a number of features I'd include on a production desk that I didn't get a chance to in the model due to my 3D modeling ability (or lack thereof). Rather than a full length slot, it would have some sort of cable management holes / notches and be both sturdier and more attractive than the model lets on.

Thanks again.
I think you have to be very accurate with almost any kind of bomb. The soviets made 10+ megaton h bombs partly because they didn't have accurate delivery systems.
this is what is called as a life well lived, you do something great that creates an impact and then the earnings are donated back to enhance your creation or somebody else's as long as innovation happens for the +ve.Too good.
I am surprised at some comments that still people have the nag to find a fault in this thing as well :)

Ok, reword that: 'founders selling a substantial chunk of their stock'.

If it is a relatively small portion then it makes sense as a risk diversification strategy.
I didn't even think Eder's Game was great or anything. Just an ok SF story. Now, reading your argument, it makes sense. Back in my mind I was probably thinking "What's so great about these little kids learning some shit and growing a couple of years?"
Hence tri-pods
Disagree strongly here. Memorization is a workout for the brain. Being able to recall the exact words of, e.g. poetry or prose, admits them to reflection at any time, not just when notes are available. There is no substitute for knowing something without reference; it then becomes part of consciousness, not another book on the shelf that yeah, could be opened at some point, but in practice. Your brain is weaker and emptier when you opt out of actually committing things to memory.

I've actually got an alternative magic stretch that can be done standing (so you can do it in the middle of a run). It involves crossing your legs and reaching over to the side.

The list shows that debt is "ok" if creditors believe it'll be repaid eventually(USA,Japan). Some countries just cant afford the "cost of debt"(mostly Africa). Others are in a dire situation when creditors feel they wont get their money back(Greece).

I didn't know Japan was the country with the largest public debt.thanks.

The CPU can only do one thing at a time even with threads. It just hides that fact from you better.

In an app that grabs a page from a database and returns it, the node.js app will receive a request from a user, make a request to the database, receive a request from another user, make a request to the database, then wait for either database request to return, then return it to the user, then when the other returns, return that to the user.

Your program doesn't deal with one whole request at a time, it chops it up into lots of little "wait for this event" parts and node.js has an event loop that listens for events, which can happen in an arbitrary order. So you can be waiting for hundreds of events to happen for hundreds of requests, and as node.js doesn't make you wait for the first one to process the second, nobody's holding up anyone else.

Threading does nearly exactly this automatically... except that you need memory per thread in order to maintain the illusion that each thread has complete control over the CPU (its own stack, etc), and it can also split up CPU-bound workloads automatically. node.js needs much less memory per event it's waiting for.
Some programs had embedded graphic subroutines executed when under debugger. It would set CRT frequencies too high and blow up the display.
I think he's talking about 10179, the original UCS Falcon.

Before 75192 dropped, 10179 could get up to $8000. Now, it can be found for $2000-ish.
Wow please put a NSFW tag on this. I went to it and was hit with a picture of a sliced up decaying corpse.
If you don't raise rates once a year you will need another reason when you do decide to. At very least you would want to tie and increase to inflation.

Completely different business but my dad got into the trap of leaving his rates constant for many years, so each year your in effect making less and the client has an expectation that the rates won't move.
Nice to see game mechanics applied to productive activities. Good luck guys!
Well as you can see, the post was taken out of the Profitable & Proud series and was renamed to a QA right after posting.

I guess we are not technically bootstrapped by some incredibly demanding definition of the term.

To me all those things - Bootstrapping, Angel money, Grants, VCs, etc - are just tangential tools in a pretty large toolbox that we as entrepreneurs can draw upon. There is no secret bootstrap society that you get to join if you do that just like there is no secret hammer society that you get to join if you only use hammers for all your carpentry jobs.

In any case, use the right tool for the job. We started a risky business in a crowded space so we bootstrapped. We ran out of cash so we got Angel money. We became profitable so we increased our own spend. We got really good at this and wanted to accelerate so we take VC money to get to our goals faster. It's not rocket surgery.
Sorry to say, Rich, that was not the response I expected.

AFAIC, there is no gray area here. I have argued (yes, many have disagreed with me) the same for years here.

A little background...

I have seen more deals than you can imagine ruined because someone lost trust. As simple as that. The salesman fibbing to his wife on the phone in front of the customer. The contractor paying the 3rd party vendor a little extra to get his customer's deal. I even saw someone lose a million dollar deal because he took his customer for a ride in his leased car with the speedometer disconnected.

And the reasoning was always the same: "If he could do this little thing to someone else, what will he do with my big deal?"

It's not a matter of what is effective. It's a matter of what's right and wrong. For many people (me included, of course), there is no gray area.

I realize that jaywalking != murder, but deception in business tactics is always a big deal. When one has little more than your reputation to judge, all data that affects that reputation is fair game.

I was disappointed with the original post. Calling deception "a little melodramatic" and citing a pg naughtiness quote as an excuse leaves me more disappointed than ever.
I just something very silly. If you didn't catch it while it's up, then it didn't happen.
Under what conditions is a species considered distinct from species with which it can form reproductively-viable offspring?
It's a pretty poor response. They're using the fact that Level3 had a dispute with Cogent over unbalanced traffic to say the traffic between Level3 and Verizon should also be balanced. Verizon is not in that condition, it's not a transit provider.

Basically there are 4 different situations:

1) ContentProvider<->Level3<->Cogent<->ISP<->User

2) ContentProvider<->Cogent<->Level3<->ISP<->User

3) ContentProvider<->Level3->ISP<->User

4) ContentProvider<->Cogent->ISP<->User

In all cases the first network gets a payment by the content provider and the last network a payment by the user. In cases 1 and 2 the middle network is not getting a payment because neither side is their direct client. So the Cogent/Level3 dispute is about there being the same number of 1 and 2 cases so that it all evens out and no compensating payment is necessary. Cases 3 and 4 require no additional payments no matter the upload/download ratio because both network links have been paid for, one by the user the other by the content provider.

This whole thing is about the ISPs noticing that the content providers are making money offering content over the internet (shocking I know) and trying to reach across the network and grab some of that revenue, even though everyone has already been compensated for the actual transfer of bits.

There's an update at the end of the article saying this as well.
I see no biotech projects. Kind of strange, because it is a hot field, possibly the next big thing.
There are certainly lots of companies doing competent marketing at scale, and they are certainly the norm for large SV businesses. That is not in question. But it's a big world out there, and there are a shockingly larger number of big businesses in the world that do throw big, big bucks at brand-establishing marketing initiatives, with very little to no quantifiable and precise marketing-to-sales-to-close-to-per-customer-support-cost metrics. I don't see where I'm dismissing brand marketing (and especially the newer data-driven brand marketing); please point it out so I can clarify with a follow up comment. I'm laying out (to those who might not have been exposed to it) the reasoning that goes on behind seemingly nonsensical activities (like the aforementioned call centers devoted to cold calling). Very rarely in big business do completely harebrained activities last terribly long; in hindsight some activities might have been ill-advised, but over the long run most decisions are made with the best intentions and very hazy decision-making data. I'm pretty excited to see what the data-driven marketing and sales future looks like, myself.
Yes. Initially FF was just a side project to release the Mozilla browser component as a standalone app, just like Thunderbird was.
Tethered to the ground from almost 2 miles up? I'd imagine this would require a decent sized exclusion zone for air traffic.

Also, there's always going to be some wind aloft pulling the blimp away from its anchor. It would be interesting to see a risk assessment for the land immediately surrounding the anchor point given the worst case of the cable separating from its attachment point on the blimp.
For example, the aerostat that's been tethered at cudjoe key since about 1980.

It all fell into place once the article mentioned IBD, which IMHO is the financial equivalent of a religious tract.
A great book. Unfortunately after Johnny Mnemonic , and the matrix(2+3) which were total garbage, I'm not sure I would want a movie based on that book.

It however influenced so much good stuff,like Ghost in the shell which is basically the same plot,Deus ex and others.

I enjoyed the audio-book read by Gibson itself,it was excellent.
I have a better idea. How about turning the tables and making a service that collects info about advertisers instead of users? Then let users browse your database of companies (and/or the products they're pushing) and actively search for what they went. Filters could be ecological stance of the company, color or style of the product, user reviews, published "expert" reviews, etc. Turn all that data over to the user and let them be in control of what ads they see. Let them spy on advertisers instead of vice-versa. It would also be way cheaper since you don't have to maintain this vast data-collecting network.
The politics do get ugly around skin color, but ethically it comes down to whether it is 'fair' to judge someone for something they have no control over[0] (genetic skin color, or genetic tallness.)

Do we want a society where it is okay to charge red heads more for car insurance because they are red heads? Why should people have to bear the sins of others who happen to look like them?

[0]And isn't intrinsic, e.g. people with big feet might pay more for shoes, but not for mortgages.
cstross's books were formative for me. I read accelerando when I was 16. He convinced me that making new technology (and avoiding others) was a task worthy of my life's focus. So, in part, blame him for me :sweat-smile:
Just wanted to add since I didn't see this covered in other comments yet --

TOTP and any sort of one time code authentication are just as phishable as passwords. Perhaps the biggest benefit for most people using U2F or FIDO2, is the large resistance to phishing.

This is because of how the whole ecosystem has adopted FIDO2. When a FIDO2 key signs an assertion for a website, it includes the domain in the signature base, e.g. "example.com". The browser enforces that the request to the FIDO2 key always uses the correct name of the domain you're on.

If you accidentally go to a fake website, "exaample.com", then the key will make a signature for "exaample.com", which is invalid for "example.com". Nothing can be phished to get around that, unlike OTP codes.

Even if you have other 2FA options linked to your account, as long as you're using your FIDO2 key, you gain this benefit. Very strong benefit for both individuals and enterprises.
The title is neither misleading nor linkbait. If you think the article is bad, you can't fix it by making up the title, just find a better article. It's really much more straightforward than you are making it out to be and does not require analysis of Orwells works. Although it is a somewhat curious choice on your part given that you seem to be trying to show that plain editorializing (i.e. "I found that to be the most relevant point") is not, in fact, editorializing. It's editorializing.
There is a vast array of electronic music out there, that sounds nothing like traditional musical instruments. I don't know what techniques artists are using to produce these sounds, but why would you assume that they're not exploring timbre space effectively?
> When you do contracting, you outline a maximum number of hours you can charge. It's usually <=20/week for any given client if you have high rates.

Is this really the norm? I was under the impression that charging 30+ hours can easily happen. Especially if the contract is for longer term and it's practically a mini-employment.
Enough hoops that it’s a pain but not so many I wouldn’t recommend it. You want your domain management behind a door with a sign that says “beware of the leopard.”

There are no great registrars, just registrars that suck less. I recommend Godaddy to no one.

3 years ago, I also wanted a bare metal cluster for my homelab. I wanted x86-64, low power consumption, small footprint, and low cost. I ended up building this 5 node nano ITX tower:

Is the existing media reaching one third of the world population and part of a single company? You have to keep in mind when talking about facebook that is a machinery of proportions never seen before.
My experience is this is only if it's your own code and you have a full mental model of the state of the program. I worked on a lisp project and the lead would see a crash, type some lisp, continue, app would run. The rest of the team not so much. Maybe we were all just bad lisp programmers.
As someone (32) in an academic 'career', I'm thinking the same ;) Rather, how similar (apart from pay) academia is to high paying jobs in IT.

I guess I just grew out of a phase, into a new one. Which one that is, I do not know yet. But I do know that time is limited, and I'm not going to spend too much on work-for-pay.
My impression is that night sight as a feature has been pretty impactful in the market. As in, people buy them on this feature alone
And it's totally reasonable that this isn't common place. The team I'm with now has been spending a lot of our spare time at work trying to get a suite of tools built out to make things like logging, message publishing, etc. spun up easily. It is very painful. The simple case is pretty simple, but if you add any complexity to it you're in for a world of pain.
The point is to say that there are things Americans can do to help this situation. Holding politicians accountable to corruption going on in our backyard can help. Being aware that corruption in the U.S. has effects all around the world is all...

As a lifetime embedded engineer I have to agree with most of the points here.

The lack of new engineers learning this stuff is both encouraging and distressing from my POV, of course. I like knowing there's job security in the future.

However, that also means there are a lot of EE/CS/CE kids not learning any of this stuff. A few years ago I was going through a technical interview and the manager asked me "what's the easiest way to multiply a number by 8" and I instantly said "shift left 3" without thinking. He paused and said "everyone else I've ever interviewed for this job needed 20 minutes to get to that answer".
Incidentally fusion won't work for this example (at least not as currently implemented.) Only `foldr` is fusable. Fortunately, regular inlining does just fine.

There is of course an even simpler version:

Buzz really needs its own site and identity, separated from GMail. As much as Google likes it, their GMail/GDoc interface can be "busy" to me. I hope for cleaner interface, but this is just personal preference I guess.
