But now you're talking about different data structures - his assumption was that you had a simple sorted array. We both know that there's a lot that can be done, and when performance really matters you don't use a sorted array, you don't use binary search, and you do take into account things like access pattern, access speed, caches, etc.

But people don't, because they read simplistic articles like this and then believe they know everything. At least the author could hint that there's a lot more that can be done. As it is, it just leaves the naive reader with a sense that they've seen the light, and the experienced reader irritated.
I agree. I might add "i" as an add-before keybinding in the next release.
Do you need someone to design/build a website for you? Your current site displays in a very thin column that is difficult and frustrating to read. Not to mention it's a bit lack luster.
Maybe I misunderstand, but I think that's what they're doing, even if they don't use that terminology; I don't have the time to read the paper and code and detail right now, but from a 5-second glance that's an RP method.

They multiply a given matrix by a random matrix, do computations on the result (apparently some power method that efficiently floats bigger eigenvalues in the small base), and project back to the original space.
Actually, it is open source, because Abine copied GPL code into their add-on, making them subject to the GPL. They're using some of Moxie Marlinspike's code.

Download the DNTM add-on source. Do this with Chrome; Firefox will try to install it into the browser. Change the suffix from .xpi to .zip and unpack the file. Now you have the source.

Take a look at "components/common.js". ("Copyright (c) 2010 Moxie Marlinspike; This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.") Towards the end of that file, there's additional code from Abine. To read it clearly, put it through a JavaScript beautifier.

Now take a look at the code around "parseIdentity", which involves creating a unique identity for the user and sending it to Abine via XMLHttpRequest. Notice the places where it builds up JSON items and sends them somewhere. Also look at "protocol.js", which implements the "Abine protocol". There's more, but that's all I have time for right now. I looked at a previous version in more detail, but this one has so much new stuff it's going to be hard to figure out what it's doing.
Pretty much any and all data can be cached locally. Any modern application running in a web browser will have state that can change external to the application.
So for all of you people who withstand the bullshit of the bay area but stay in all the time...why are you wasting all your money living in a city and not taking advantage of being urban? You could, instead, move a bit further outside the city and live around trees, grass and the best part? There's like no people around! It's great!

I mean...you don't even need to live in the bay area. You could just move to, oh I don't know, one of the other 20 massive major cities in America and live much cheaper. Is being amongst all of these startups really that important if all you're doing is going to the office and coming home? Never going out and being a part of the social scene? I just...don't understand this idea at all. Seems like a fairly illogical way to live life.

FWIW this is precisely the reason why I moved away from the suburbs and live in a city. I just like living in the city more, I like walking around and having conversations with people. Not talking to my neighbors makes me afraid of what I don't know about them. Not seeing anyone or knowing anyone exists seems scary to me, and the Internet is just 70% there because the social interactions you can have on here are limited at best.

Saying you have a social life because you're on the Internet is kinda like saying you're a total stud because you have a lot of phone sex. It's not really the same thing, but you might feel the same way about it.
>Reimplementing controls with UIViews

If it's using UIViews, it isn't reimplementing native controls. It's using native controls, same as if it was implemented with (interface builder) .nib files. That's like saying "reimplementing html/css with html/css".
Pretty cool! I can't imagine many real uses, but definitely fun to play around with.
Consultant to a competing exchange in an unofficial capacity here.

My impression is that Coinbase is basically operating in their previous (non-exchange) business in a manner that is not at all to the letter of current US law; the 'beg for forgiveness' model. A lack of regulatory enforcement of their position, combined with expansion in to other business areas basically points toward the corruption of the US regulatory system. At this point I'd bet that some calls using pre-established relationships between their investors / board members and regulators are going on. This is the reason why other companies do not like doing business in the US: government meddling / selective enforcement, arbitrary decisions, painfully expensive/slow moving licensing and approvals processes, ultimately resulting in an unfair market.

On both sides of the Atlantic, it is only a little overstated to say that we preach individualism and competitive capitalism, and practice socialism. - Milton Friedman, 1994, from the introduction to The Road to Serfdom by F.A. Hayek.

Verifying my identify by asking me cross streets near residences that I haven't lived since I was 2 or 3 years old is a REALLY poor way to establish what my identity may be, especially since I have previously verified my bank account.

I promptly failed it, and was told to wait 24 hours.

What kind of child has the spatial awareness to memorize cross streets near their first homes at that age? I could have perhaps inquired with the folks who owned those houses when I was a child (my parents), had the queries not been partnered with a 4 minute timer..

This identity verification is nearly as bad as coin.mx's random address lookup verification, but at least that one fails me all together without making me guess at cross streets like an ass.
Why force a click to see the result? Seems like a good way to ensure you get bogus data.
SHLD == Sears. The ticker symbol is ambiguous to the untrained eye, and saved you maybe one keystroke.
I'm curious why the OP thinks the first five entries on the list are "obviously faulty entries". They do seem like a lot of money, but I am sure there can be edge cases, after all, the sample size for each of them is really small. The titles do seem rather general, but perhaps they are top positions?
FTA:
"The top 5 can be discarded because of obviously faulty entries in the database (as much as I would like there to be a company that pays the average software engineer 1.8 million USD a year!). The first legit average seems to be the three Citigroup analysts making an average of roughly $450K."
The most surprising part of this article to me is how popular Google Checkout is becoming. A few years ago you'd be lucky to see a handful of sites offer it alongside Paypal, and never in lieu of it. The explosion of Android might have something to do with it, as the Market requires Checkout (outside of the recently-added carrier billing.)
My dad

My point in posting my experience is that everyone is different, and people who say, "just do X and it will solve all your problems," have very little likelihood of being accurate. I'm glad your father is doing well, but trust me, I have a host of unavoidable, congenital issues that I have to deal with. Many, many people have other sorts of congenital issues which will make going barefoot painful.

you probably have some kind of problem with the fascia at the bottom of your foot

Nope. The pain is primarily around the edge of the heel. It's hard to explain, but definitely not tendon or ligament pain.
I have no clue but I found this article http://www.wired.com/gamelife/2008/01/lawyer-explains/ in which the lawyer explains they don't want money, they just want Microsoft to fix the problem so I guess nothing came out of the lawsuit.

The page you provided doesn't have a map, but looking at the one from wikipedia[1] makes me think it's just a heatmap of population and/or industrial activity. New jersey just looks exceptionally worse because it's a small state that is heavily urbanized.

To clarify, I was curious about California's situation.
For a second you lit up my hope that there would be nested bhyve virtualization, but no. This is a different layer of virtualization/containerization. In order to have nested vm the correct cpu flags (vt-x) have to be exposed in the guest and I believe that such feature is unfortunately not implemented yet.
I see we can't meet in the middle on this issue.

I'm not saying all Electron programs are bad. VSCode, for example, is surprisingly good for many use cases, and being an IDE with many features, its resource usage is pretty justified.

I'm also not buying that people need software that only exists as Electron programs. Check the categories in https://www.electronjs.org/apps, there's even taskbar notifications and app launchers, do those merit running a dedicated browser?

It's not that users need "non-imaginary" software and Electron fills that need, it's that most users don't know about native and web frameworks, and they will install software as long as their computer can run it, even if better alternatives exist right now.
Who cares, I've seen the pig movement prediction and found it really cool

Hell no

To me this is clearly a longshot product, but I'm very happy that some private citizen is willing to invest his own money into this. If someone stumbles on how to transform thoughts into movement signals or how to encode digital images into optic nerve signals I'm all for it
I guess the weakpoint in all of these techniques to prove a photo was taken by a certain device, at a certain time, in a certain place is for someone wearing a very good disguise to publicly commit crimes in your name. Any witnesses or photo evidence is going to point to you. A full movie costume makeup kit probably costs less than what it takes to hack Apple for someone's iPhone private key.
> I don’t account for lighting conditions (how would you do this?)

I'd start by shooting against a white background with full spectrum lighting. Then you can compensate for the camera processing to get roughly calibrated brightness.
Something that really blew my mind was that one of my favorite bands: Metallica's comment on how people are to interact with their performances. "Where here to provide the party, if they don't like how we do it, that's on them."

It says a lot on the ego of the producer of the product. [Also that they're treating it as a product.. yes metallica corporate I see you] It completely disreguards of how the individual relates to it and is more focused on control on how they want things.

That whole philosophy you should expect in dictatorships, not in cultures that embrace free expression.
Did you know the US used to have segregation? Of course showing black people on TV is political.

Hey HN. I wanted to show a new SaaS we are working on to provide real-time, in play sports analysis for Soccer(Football), Hockey and Basketball.

Our web app is built on .NET, SQL and React.

As it stands, we have a handful of regular visitors but we are looking to ramp this up before we try to monetise.

In terms of our analysis, we are looking primarily at key outcome indicators which include the following factors (+ others)

· How a team has fared subsequently in the game having got the first score or advantage

· How a team has fared subsequently in the game having conceded the first score or advantage

· How well a team can respond to being behind in games (while allowing for the remaining time)

· How capable a team is of scoring outcome altering goals (especially towards the end of the game)

· How susceptible a team is to conceding outcome altering scores (especially towards the end of the game)

These analytics are updated minute by minute when the games are in play.

Any feedback welcomed!
Seriously, you cannot support that level of incompetency. How many people pass airport gates everyday? How many people are caught with explosives everyday? The second pat-down should have been enough to decide that the machine was triggered by some chemical not directly related to explosives, as they were enable to find any bomb anywhere. Worse, it is very clear in the story that they know it can happen.
Machiavelli is fine, but is there more to be learned from Castiglione than him?. Reading Manzoni, thats the view I get.
> You can see Japan as the latest example disaster where one week before, no one imagined this could happen

I don't accept this characterisation. I see Fukushima as an example of being curiously diligent in one area, and negligent in another, perhaps because rather than have a "culture" of safety it was simply legislation driven, such that standards dropped as soon as there was a gap/oversight in the legislation. To clarify - as safe as the plant was, it was not in a safe chosen location. Concerns were raised, and ignored. legislation covered the building and operation of the plant, not diligence in planning its location.

security is somewhat weakest-link - it doesn't matter if your doors are metal with strong locks if there are large windows without bars. Fukushima was always unsafe, just conditional on a relatively rare event - by the same measure the unstable warehouse cargo that exploded in Beirut was always unsafe, even if it existed for nearly 7 years.
> The website you posted was torn apart elsewhere in this thread.

This is also false.
In Brooklyn, at least, the 1-2BR high rises are currently cheaper than the comparable apartment in a 3-5 story building.

There was a huge construction boom in the last 5 years, and then COVID cratered demand for the kinds of people who live in those buildings. They’re currently listed 20-30% below what they were going for before.

The brownstone market has been affected too, but the good ones have not gone down much in price.

> Fast and slow are relative, that’s for sure. But assuming there is a problem before discovering it... isn’t that the definition of premature optimization?

that works if you have a definite performance target, say, "less than 5ms". Not if your performance target is, "it must be faster by a good margin than all the competitors that we know and don't know about, and stay that way"
I think you've encapsulated my problem with the coup talk. Too much imagination and not enough evidence.

If they interview people from that group and an actual plan emerges beyond mess up the Capitol building and steal shit I'll eat crow.
To be pedantic you need an Apple ID rather than a iCloud account to use iMessenger. So in theory payment information isn't included.

However once you've got someones email or phone number you can ultimately tie it to any other data when you've used it elsewhere - medical records, phone calls to prostitutes, hacker news posts etc.

I think the difference is that Apple don't (or claim to not) use that data to categorise you and serve ads like Facebook. Apple make lots of money from hardware sales, a few cents from aggregating data is a drop in the ocean and they can take 'the moral highground' towards privacy.
Is there a single time in tech history where a monopoly was not totally abused ? You are asking Apple to take over the world because you buy their privacy propaganda but ICloud is not even end2end encrypted, employee are listening to Siri conversation, Apple knows all apps you run and when instead of just providing a blacklist you compare against locally... There's a scandal every month about Apple privacy.

How long before they ban ProtonMail because "You know what, we think our emails are "better for you". How long before they ban Signal because "You know what, IMessage has a better security than signal so it's "better for you".

Monopoly / tech dictatorship are the easy and tempting solution but nothing good ever came out of giving some dude total power over you. And even if you like those dude because you buy their propaganda, many other people might not share your view.
> Vendors of firearms, pornography, legal funds for unpopular causes, dissident content creators

Neither pornography, nor legal funds for unpopular cause (think WikiLeaks), or dissident creators are criminal. At least not in the US or Europe. But they are still blocked by the main payment processing companies.

I've never had a proper job in an office - I started working an online gig in uni, and I've been working for them ever since. It's great not needing to be in one place. I've started taking round-the-world trips - live cheap in hostels, work in coffee shops using their WiFi. Hanging out in Singapore and Tokyo sure motivates me to work a lot more than my apartment at home.
That's got to be a tough number to swallow for RIM since they're making the Playbook somewhat dependent on having a BB as well.
Even better use Scrapy, which is a whole framework designed specifically for scraping and is built on top of libxml2 like lxml.

There are 250 million units of mobilecoin, and majority of them are owned by the founders. Only 37.5 million have been distributed. With current price ($65), they're worth $14B already. This makes the project a scam and impossible for it to work as a reliable money that holds value. Bitcoin had no pre-mine and has been fairly distributed from the start.
> Also, unlike Go or Rust, Wuffs’ memory safety is enforced at compile time, not by inserting runtime checks that e.g. the i in a[i] is within bounds or that (x + y) doesn’t overflow a u32.

Am I missing something, or is this statement simply wrong? Have not used Go, but Rust checks its stuff at compile time as far as I know.
This is simply not true. Look around on some popular website comments. There are plenty of people singing the praises of the new Microsoft Edge.

Personally I can't wait until it's fully released for Linux so that I can use it. I just want another chromium/webkit based choice from a major provider.
When Theranos was still a popular golden child company, I went to a party in SF thrown by a partner at a prominent local law firm. At the party a husband of one of the lawyers happened to be a lab worker at a biotech startup. He and I ended up chatting in a small group of spouses while the firm lawyers were clustered in another part of the house gossipping about work.

Over the next 30 minutes or so this guy explained to us non-scientists why he thought Theranos might very likely be a fraud. People nodded their heads and said "interesting" but I don't think anyone really took the guy very seriously. It's easy to dismiss such concerns from people in parallel startups as jealousy or misguided.

But the thing that has stuck with me since is that if a relatively junior guy working as in a startup lab had this insight about Theranos, why didn't all these major investors with world class experts know any better?

It seems to me the more interesting story in regards to WeWork and Theranos is why are the incentives in these investment funds not aligned with the purpose of rooting out such fraudulent or overblown claims.

I honestly could care less about the flamboyant personalities involved. The system failures are more interesting to me.
Don't forget financial reasons.

Also, building & maintaining power generation is not free. Building solar panels, dams, wind has environmental impact, sizable material & energy inputs. And these generation systems only have a finite lifetime. Renewables are not free power.

Further, building a bunch of mining/blockchain machines has environmental impact. Things aren't quite as bad as they were - I hope - but Silicon Valley's contaminated groundwater, Google being built atop a superfund site - strong, close-to-home for many evidence that the processes are materially & energy intensive[1] and quite toxic. Building data-centers of mining machines has impact. And like the energy use question, we must ask: what else could we being doing with this capacity?

The 'it's mostly renewables' thing keeps getting raised & it's really frustrating/exhausting. It feels like a dismissal or denial. Ultimately that is potential that could be allocated elsewhere, and even with renewables, there is an impact to this planet.
