What Kickstarter save is a unique token, ex. da39a3ee5e6b4b0d3255bfef95601890afd80709 (not a real token, just an example).

The token can only be used with the private / public key pairs that Stripe provided to them, so even if a hacker got access to Kickstarter's database, they would still need the private/public keys to make use of the tokens.

Also, my expectations are that only whitelisted IPs should be able to access Stripe with the key pairs of Kickstarter.
You know we speak English in South Africa, right?
Great truck. Very exotic design, excellent price point, However, there was one statement that stood out as a MASSIVE mistake:

>The glass is stronger than standard car glass

Please stop doing this. Audi and Mercedes pulled this gimmicky crap about 8 years ago until they realized samaritans, Firefighters and EMT's need to be able to breech safety-glass windows in the event you become entrapped in the vehicle (possibly burning) during a major accident. You may also need to shatter a window in order to exit your vehicle if it becomes submerged in a body of water.

Teslas are already unique enough to require their own first responder procedure to perform an advanced extraction.

Please, the vehicle already looks like the M577 Armored Personnel Carrier from Aliens. it outruns a porsche, it out pulls an f150. Youve ticked all the masculine boxes truck owners want for this thing. Dont turn it into a rolling coffin.
$100 initial deposit is to show wall St demand. That will keep borrowing costs down.
If you find something like that, you put it in a box and mail it back to the police.

Be sure to include an invoice with a hefty charge for shipping and handling.
Yeah, which is why you look at the receipts.
I don't know what any of this means. The vulnerabilities exist no matter who discovers them, and vulnerability discovery is a service every major vendor pays dearly for. If the optics of discovery are bad for Apple or Microsoft, Apple or Microsoft should spend more to keep from being one-upped by P0.
Wouldn't that entirely defeat the purpose? If you're already pre-generating the HTML anyway, it's a waste not to just always serve it, making the self-rendering part redundant.
Flat panel is what trucks have needed to go back to. Get a bad dent or the garbage is rusting out? Cut it out and weld some sheet on top. No need buy an entire door or go to a body shop.
Surely at some point in your life you've bonded with somebody over something other than a mutual hatred for another person.
Maybe you could watch their TV and movies? I've lived outside my country of birth for most of my life, so that's how I learned about American culture before moving there.

Of course after arriving, I realized that a lot of what I saw is either aspirational or realistic only for a very small cross-section of American people.
The problem is not the amounts of the taxes: it is their distribution.

Median real wages haven't grown much since the '70s. In that time, the income and wealth of the upper class has skyrocketed.

If we need more tax revenue...but the middle class doesn't have more...maybe we should be getting that money from the people who do.
I explicitly bought a LG TV with Web OS, because having some Android dev experience I don't want to put myself to Android TV.
While a disturbing insight into your though process, I don't see why you felt the need to post it here.

Trust me fella, poor people are not dodging taxes like the wealthy are. The fact you had to invent such a circuitous and baffling story to attempt to illustrate your point should make that that plain.
Common lisp has the best tooling of any dynamic programming language.
I used to think at least the corruptions has good side effects, but I was young and naive.
There are a lot of people making 360k+ with effort.
You most likely need to be talented and have very good work ethic (rare combination) and then focus on right industry. Big trading firms, programming if you're very good or not that good but not risk averse and willing to take shots to start businesses.

Of course not everyone can get there, it's 1% after all but you don't need to be born into it or one in a million genius.
> The equivalent of "hello world" in erlang is

is "hello world".

Edit:

I know that "" in Elixir is binaries which are <<>> in Erlang. In Erlang "hello world" is really a list of ["h", "e", "l", "l", ...].

What was surprising to me is how rarely that matters (unless you actually do a lot of text processing). And the functions that matter (like I/O) deal with io_lists anyway.

And since strings in Elixir are binaries, when you actually need to work with binaries, you're back to the same/similar syntax:

<<0:1, 0:1, 1:1, 1:1>> == <<3:4>> %% Erlang

<<0::1, 0::1, 1::1, 1::1>> == <<3::4>> ## Elixir

> Keyword lists in erlang are unpretty

Keyword lists in Elixir are nice, that's true.
Who said caches were there to improve Availability or Partition tolerance in a Consistent system? Inside Consistent systems, caches only exist to make calculations go faster.
You're assuming it takes considerable skill to fuzz an algorithm or look for back doors and easter eggs? To answer your question, I don't know if Wire's been audited by paid researchers. I personally prefer a customer-exposed product whose each commit you can look up rather than the remote promise of security in a locked and hidden program.
In my ideal world property is decommodified and the rentier class is eliminated, yes. Attempting to reach that arrangement via polite means does introduce some complications, since landlords have the capital for down payments while others don't.

By making landlording prohibitively expensive, you compel them to sell. They can't sell to other landlords, since the new buyer would incur the same penalty, so the most likely customers would be first time owners or the state itself. The government, free of the landlord's profit motive, could in turn offer these properties to the public at lower prices through long term mortgages with little to no down payment. The weekly repayments would be less than rent, and the occupants would eventually own the property instead of lining somebody else's pocket. I don't know what the precise term for this model is, but I don't think it's unprecedented.

Like I said, this is the polite route. It introduces complexity to avoid stepping on too many toes, and therein lie its flaws. I can certainly think of more direct methods.
It is hard to make 50%+ profit from zero customers, as there are plenty of countries where it has hardly any presence.
> Findings of these studies suggest that the risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection via the fomite transmission route is low, and generally less than 1 in 10,000, which means that each contact with a contaminated surface has less than a 1 in 10,000 chance of causing an infection.

The pictured helicopter looks like a 407, useful load ~2200 lbs. http://bellhelicopter.com/en_US/Commercial/Bell407GX/1296721...
Only MacOS/iPhone though.
The model isnt that great. I'd kill some of those variables and run it again to find something more significant and with fewer confounding factors that drive down the explanatory power (R2)
If you're planning on making it last 18 months, $100k is probably in the right order of magnitude. Incorporation fees, corporate taxes, liability insurance, workers comp., 409a valuations, audit fees, patent / IP expense, trademarks...

You'd be surprised at the number of $5k bills you get from various parts of running a business.
I've worked implementing both, and Bromium is basically as good of a solution to this problem as you're going to get, in the sense that it requires the least modification of user behavior (the user's Windows machine mostly behaves like a normal one).

Even Bromium was pretty upfront about the use case for their product though (high-value targets like executives who travel to China). They were very honest about it being overkill for an entire enterprise.

I think securing endpoints is basically a lost cause though (I'm happy to consider that a minority opinion however). My company spent many years trying to get TPM's to be the solution to this problem, and I'm pretty sure that ship has now sailed; with the only 2 sectors of the industry that are continuing to grow being completely unsuited to TPMs (virtualization and mobile).

I think we'll eventually realize that much like networks, devices have to assumed to be untrustworthy, and we have to route accordingly.
Hi author here, thanks, glad you liked it! Flockport provides ready to deploy containers of popular apps based on LXC. We like the simplicity of LXC containers and find it easier to use.

The comments are spot on, most networking gurus appear to be strictly against extending layer 2 as we note in the post but we wanted to put the options out there. You definitely need to address latency and mtu issues across remote hosts that will crop up, but with standards like VXLAN based on extending layer 2 perhaps we will soon start seeing interesting workarounds.
Really? It seemed like poor acting to me? I duno, just didnt seem real.
I aim for the best of both worlds - blast through the coding when you're at the top of the world; then, once it all works, go back and clean it up and make it pretty. IME, unless you're never ever going to see the code again, it's well worth the time spent.

Of course, not everyone is willing to pay for #2. "It's already done, isn't it?"

:(
I thought I have a pretty good handle on CoffeeScript, but Coco's README confused me. Can someone explain the reasoning behind Coco's features? Can't seem to discern their purpose.
SCSI disks are a dead giveaway to a date long past. As soon as I read that, I paged up to find the publish date.
Many successful startups have been founded by teams of 2 or 3 people and often one of them is a non-technical person. Heck Steve Jobs is no coder himself - http://arstechnica.com/apple/news/2006/10/5672.ars. Even when you just get started, there are plenty of things for a non-programmer to do - as Spencer Fry has elegantly laid out - http://spencerfry.com/whats-a-non-programmer-to-do

I think the value is in finding someone with complementary skill sets, so that you two can "fight back to back" as I like to say. If you're introverted, you want someone who can sell to customers, investors and talk to the press. If you're disorganized, you want someone who can keep all the numbers together and keep projects moving forward. If you've got no design sense, it would help to find someone who can push pixels and has a sense of artistry.

In general, I'd focus on finding a legit person, rather than finding someone who has a "good idea".
functional programming and in particular erlang is pretty much a godsend for working with a large codebase.

erlang is designed around intercommunication, there was some rule about how a team of 3 would make a 3 pass compiler, in erlang everything is explicitly isolated and you have to design specifically how the various parts of the system communicate with each other
I don't know what the price of time is, but from my own experience I can say that it's quite high.

This comment reminded me of the Chekhov short story The Bet - http://www.eastoftheweb.com/short-stories/UBooks/Bet.shtml

If you reversed the statement, would you take $10m for 10 years of imprisonment? I definitely wouldn't. Life's for living.
Yes. The problem is people eating too much

Saying that fat people eat too much is like saying alcoholics drink too much or that insomniacs don't get enough sleep. It's trivially true, but does nothing to help solve the problem. In fact, it's harmful. To imply that a problem is trivial is to suggest that the solution is easy: just don't be stupid. That's far from the case with alcoholism, insomnia, or obesity.
Word. If you're interested in this kind of work, look to MIT (Media Lab), Georgia Tech, Stanford (CCRMA), the UC schools (CNMAT, UCLA design, UCSD, UCSB, etc.), McGill (music tech|CIM|SRE) & Concordia (SIP|comp. arts), RPI (empac), and others. ITP is for beginners.
ORM's seem to be problematic and complex. It seems to me to be valid pick one database, and to have an ORM which targets just that one database.

For European ETF:

1.) Depends on the ETF. There is

a) Full Replication. All stocks are 1 to 1 in the ETF.

b) Swap based. EU swap ETFs can have up to 10% (but not more) in swap (what you mean by option/hedge), the rest is stocks. Oftentimes ETF issuers have an insurance on those swaps. If the swap counterparty goes bankrupt you loose that 10%.

c) optimized sampling. You have different stocks (or not all of that index) in your ETF. The idea is to find stocks that corelate closely to those in the index.

2.) By buying the ETF you "own" the stocks. ETF are regulated like mutual funds (at least in EU).

3.) ETF are only a small fraction of the worldwide trade. But obviously if your company gets into a popular index (s&p 500) you can be quite happy.

4.) If everybody would only invest in indices, the market won't play anymore and it would be smarter to buy individual stocks again. This is the index investing paradox. But very unlikely to happen.
"By lacking sophistication, I mean a system of alternative capital (VC) that fully recognises Startups as a serious way to generate wealth"

That's definitely changing, e.g Innovation Bay, Startmate, the Sydney Angel Sidecar Fund, and others. VC/Angel investing is not at the same maturity as overseas yet, but it's definitely changing.
I actually know a few "100% Han Chinese" people who have slightly brown/reddish hair. At first I thought they were dyed, but eventually I was convinced that they were not.

In retrospect, I'm not really that surprised, considering China being continental, and the amount of trade/migration over the centuries.
Great realization, I'm happy for you. But now to the next step: are you trying to grow revenue or profit? The strategies are vastly different. When building profit, you need to keep costs as low as possible. When building revenue, you increase costs as much as you can afford in a way that grows revenue as fast as possible, perhaps throwing even the idea of profit out the door.

Focusing on revenue is awesome. Throwing in the extra "and profit" feels like the safe thing to do, but in reality your execution will be completely different with profit in the equation.
Well, I was comparing it to something like Java. Though Python still scores far lower on my readability scale. It's seems like it's halfway to being minified, the lines are chock-a-block.

Also, this is a better version in Ruby:

file = File.open('customers.txt')

customers = {}
file.each_line do |line|
name, age = line.split(",")
customers[age.to_i] ||= []
customers[age.to_i] << name
end

grouped = customers.sort_by{|age, names| names.count}.reverse

grouped.first(3).each do |age, customers|
puts "#{age} years old: #{customers.count} customers"
end

…not sure what I was thinking before, it was late.
4 hours later, how does it look now?

I would expect that white/black position would be very similar in results (for random games only, of course).
Implying that the woman who wrote this article is a liar, and has invented her story like a UFO abductee, also seems harsh, some might say "misogynistic" even.

Sadly this attitude seems too common to put it down to psychopathy, which is seemingly only about 1 percent of the population (though mostly male apparently).
> If you don't want to be murdered it's common sense to commit suicide.

I really dislike this line of thought, because I think it boils the issue down to black and white, all or nothing. "... it's common sense to commit suicide" makes no sense, of course, but how about "... it's common sense not to walk alone at night in a high-crime area"?

I don't believe for a second that she "deserved what she got". But I don't think "do not put naked pictures on the internet" is bad advice either, specially considering the (very) large number of cases in which women's pictures were stolen.

Is there really no possibility for a middle ground?
Opt-out telemetry does not create informed decisions, it creates decisions based on the subset of people who don't care or don't know enough to opt out, and I have seen real instances it adds a dangerous overconfidence to the applicability of the decisions made from that data. And it's important to note that little telemetry is often enough to do a decent amount of statistical analysis–in fact, one of the first things you'd learn in a course is that you don't really need to collect data from everyone, and most sample sizes don't go above 10% of the population unless you're doing some kind of census.
I've tried to do this several times since 2010. The deal breaker each time is lacking a reliable real-time "ringer" that one gets with SMS and Voice calls.

Perhaps Android / iOS background services have improved enough, to make this possible.
How to steal the identity of others. Just count on their stupidity to get their uber or lyft data.
The only reason? Don't you think it is a possibility that this is all an attempt to artificially raise costs? With increased efficiency of production, one might expect the cost of energy to decrease, but unfortunately we will need to raise them because 'climate change'. Looks like you will need to keep working your 9-5 in order to fund your way of life. Someone (not me) might say this looks like business as usual.
What is the benefit to using a dynamically typed language if you have to spend all your time writing tests and verifying the static properties of your code?
> I'm not sure if it can be applied to software

It certainly can be. But you've got to design it in from the beginning.

But the first step is pretty hard - convince programmers that writing perfect software is impossible and to stop relying on it being perfect. Fire anyone in charge of security who certifies "the system is secure". :-/
I hope this isn't flame-war material but why do recreational cyclists bother spending big money on lighter bikes or thinner tyres or anything at all? If you want to make it easier to ride, you can get a motor and Li-ion battery, often more cheaply. I did that when I used to cycle to work for practical reasons. But then why are you cycling instead of driving in the first place?
Since you edited this in:

>Well, according to his github explanation[0] there was an attempt to account for that:

> "It is assumed that on the days following the vaccination, there is increased caution to avoid social encounters."

Yes. He fudges beta by 0.25, when it has values >3. Uhh..

Edit: unless you actually propose that the vaccine is increasing risk of infection beyond changes in behavior, there's clearly something very big methodologically wrong here. And even that can't explain the drastically different betas assumed between the hospitalization series and the infection series. (I mean, they're on OPPOSITE SIDES OF 1 AND FAR AWAY FROM IT)

Nice work, well done.

Are you planning on supporting HTTPS anytime soon?
Haha, that's me. I'm off to Sweeney's house for movie night tonight :)
I don't totally disagree. But honestly, people are too lazy to read most of either poster. If the entire thing was just

"AKIDO"

<picture of one guy throwing another guy>

603-431-8560

it would probably work as well as either of these designs, and they'll end up answering the same inane questions on the receiving end.

More importantly, the questions people ask can be good signalling to a business how they can adjust their offerings. There might be an entire market of people who really want to take Akido, but they can only do it on Thursday nights. This poster might filter them all out. But a bunch of people calling to see if they offer Thursday night beginner classes might cause the school to adjust their schedule to offer that class, thereby capturing that part of the market.
This is just an ad for scoutzie. I've never heard of them and I'm sure the "top designers from around the world" haven't either.
No, that has nothing to do with password length.
My point is that if you're going to iterate through the entire dictionary, there should be a way to get full key-value pairs, so you don't have to look up the value for each key. There's no need to change the entire example. Something like this:

for ((name, job) in people) {
trace('$name does $job for a living!');
}
Oh, boy. Take a chill pill man! Is no one allowed to do anything for fun any more?

It took me about 15 minutes to come up with the solution. I wrote it up for fun because it illustrates some of the functionality of GNU make that people might not be aware of (order-only prerequisites, $(eval)) and using $(call) in a recursive fashion.

I actually spent more time on the blog post.
are there download links for the videos somewhere? I don't have flash installed and need to travel tomorrow ;)
I just don't understand why all those measures went into a NES emulator, which is basically worthless to emulate. Had those gone into a popular game like Pokémon, people would've been on their toes trying to overcome them a lot sooner, and the games couldn't be emulated for some time (probably not very long, but a while regardless).
I've used both MailChimp and SendGrid for different companies/projects for years.

If you're going purely through the API, there isn't a huge amount of difference. The core is sending email via HTTP requests, so there can't be that much difference.

I'd go with MailChimp (i.e. Mandrill) just because, as the other poster said, they sponsor lots of great, free, podcasts.
Is there an official list somewhere which assigns animals to kinds people you will find in a startup? Like "shark" for VC, "owl" for the PhD, grizzly bear for the bearded Linux hacker, etc?

I remember a political satire from TV in the post-communist days in Poland (1991?) -- Lech Walesa was a Lion. I'd love to see a cartoon/puppets show about startups and/or software dev with animals. The honey badger would def be in there. :-)
> A commercial organization should be allowed to do something like ROTC; paying an undergrad full college costs in exchange for a guaranteed employee for 2-4y post graduation at market rate.

I'm fairly certain they can. In fact, tuition reimbursement programs aren't uncommon amongst elite employers.
In France we pay about zero per month for three kids.
