Please take this criticism in good faith (since I don't know any of the commenters) but I agree you are coming across as rude. Questioning the veracity of someone's personal experience (which seems plausible and doesn't require extraordinary evidence) then demanding more information after you've already done so, with zero perceived benefit to him...well I can see why some could feel offended.
Because of the pitfalls of Bitcoin and because of the value that comes from trusted centralized services; just because there are existing problems with current governments doesn't mean the ideal or best solution is disregarding them and creating/supporting a wildwest situation.

Sweet. Downloading it now. Thnx.

In the last preview update, the changes to explorer (icons) wiped out my (right-click) pinned app history. They've been repopulating without any issue tho.

To be honest we have been focusing on our app and service more then our marketing techniques.

The points you have made are valid and we will be addressing as soon as possible.

The SLA is inline with other competitors but maybe it should be more a 'refund policy'.

So far we have not had any downtime.
There is. That is the assault law. Unless you're suggesting that grabbing someone's breasts is never sexual assault...

Force means something a bit looser than you probably think it does. A light tap can be considered assault, let alone grabbing and poking.
Me too, man that book has been an epic slog. I've ended up rewriting it like 10 times but finally have a draft off to the publisher for editing. I'm still not totally happy with it, but it's the best I could possibly do.

The latest rewrite emphasizes secure coding and defensive programming practices, algorithms, testing, and how to learn a new programming language, and simply uses C in as safe a way as possible to do that. Hopefully it's effective but I still need to sit with students in IRL classes to test that out better.

Yes, but that happened when the U.S. was going through tremendous economic growth and labor was in demand. These days, there are tens of millions of unemployed workers ready to take your place if you start doing things your employer doesn't like.
I can't say from the details you have given me, but if I were to start a business I would much prefer starting one doing product development rather than consulting. Consulting is a hard business model which doesn't scale very well because you can only sell one hour of your time once. When that hour is gone, it's gone forever. One hour of product development time can be sold as many times as the market can bear. Those hours can be sold while you are sleeping. Meanwhile, the travelling consultant is being run ragged.

I know which business model I prefer, but not sure if that translates to which company I would rather work for. Given all the extra time travelling (and lifestyle restrictions / hardships which go with travelling,) it's possible the product development firm actually pays more for your time.
Nope-- that means it's launched but still flying under quite a few radars. I'd wager plenty of people don't know about its traffic or YC backing.
Indeed, it is in Yahoo's interest to correct this misinformation, so I agree with your statement unironically. The press went with what it had, and if Yahoo felt like there was more to the story, it was Yahoo's responsibility to put it out there.

And Yahoo knows all this. From Yahoo's silence, I strongly believe the original story was actually correct — Yahoo intended to shut down Delicious. When the huge backlash from the leak hit, that's when the closing-Delicious story became wrong.
Erik says that all of the strings can be decoded with the same method. Since the input string can result in multiple different valid encoded forms that implies to me that the method for decoding these strings is also encoded in the string (it seems that otherwise we would have to guess magic inputs).

However, assuming that approach, it is interesting to me that each resulting string ended up the same length. Trying to tease out some encoding code from the outputs now...
I cannot upvote this enough, had the exact same experience.

Making people uncomfortable is essentially free speech. wtf should he be ostracized for doing that?

Now, if the Org he's giving a speech for and giving these out at, doesn't like him doing it and asks him not to but he still does it. then THEY are within their right to eject him.

But no flash outrage social media push has any right to "cancel" the guy because he creeps them out a little.

Just dont take the card. request he leave you alone. He'll either get the message or he wont... if he doesn't then that is harassments. (albeit a very minor sort) but enough to request security/police to step in and communicate more directly to his hind-brain.

Your Elixir example is literally wrong. It won’t compile unless you do many changes. You are keeping -> instead do. You are still using commas after each expression. The fn syntax is wrong and also using parens for args. So you forgot to remove most of the punctuation noise.

You are conveniently not showing many examples where Elixir is considerably less noisier such as keywords, utf-8 binary strings, etc. Module definitions in Erlang use -(). while Elixir doesn’t use a single punctuation character. Erlang has special syntax for list and binary comprehensions while Elixir has unified both and uses no special syntax. Maps in Erlang also have two syntaxes, more ways of doing try/catch, etc.

If you take examples of actual code implemented in both languages, instead of cherry-picked invalid gibberish, you will find that Erlang has more punctuation per character than Elixir.

I hate it because it's ridiculous. Writing through post in 24 hours with no sleep? I don't mind creative exercises in general but this one is bad for you.

Write a song a day? Totally.

Learn a new riff a day? Yup.

Play with someone new as often as possible? Best creative exercise there is.

But please, let's not make it a chore. Those who are passionate don't need it and those who aren't will quit.

This strikes me as an alarming defense of the most destructive parts of our current epoch. The culture in question usually does not take the form of speaking truth to power. More often it is unreasonable people destroying the lives and livelihoods of mostly innocent people because of an abstract and usually imaginary offense. A person can be smart but groups of people are not.

Call-out culture is bullying disguised as benevolence and empathy. It is doing more lasting damage than any of us realize. The bullies from school now believe themselves to be the virtuous ones BECAUSE of the bullying they engage in. And the only way to be moral in their eyes is to hold onto power and exercise the maximum amount of control possible over others.
I mean stability in that the sequence of the virus is much the same as it was a month before. That's not true when a virus jumps species - they evolve rapidly to the new species.
I indeed intentionally oversimplified that, but consider how NSA is doing illegal things for the sake of "national security", because they are not tranparent or checked by anyone.
> Markets are two-sided. If you pay a single, global rate, you may find yourself setting that rate such that you’re priced out of certain markets and lack access to money-motivated talent there.

Except for differences imposed by differential transaction costs, freely competitive markets have one price for a given good. If there's not a single, global rate for a nondifferentiated good, it means it's not a competitive market and a cartel or monopolist is imposing segmentation.

If there's some places where the supply (in the economic sense of the function relating price and quantity delivered) is restricted so nothing is delivered at the global market clearing rate, then that place just isn't a source of the good.

The benefit of segmentation for buyers isn't that they get to avoid being priced out of markets where you pay more for the same service, it's that imposing segmentation lets you reduce the price you pay to suppliers in low-cost regions to a level below the global market clearing price.
I don't know why you're assuming that he's just sending out emails and finding receptive people on the other end. In my opinion that's the least likely scenario considering the range and calibre of his guests. You don't get to cold-email Eric Schmidt as a relatively unknown person and have him be the guest on the 8th episode of your newly started podcast. You don't get Elon Musk, Ray Dalio, Jack Dorsey, Roger Penrose and the creator of just about every big programming language just by cold emailing.
They promised improvements in keeping backwards compatibility, i.e. building old code on new rust. No one promised forward compatibility, building new code on old rust.
Just being a decent human being with no agenda but trying to ask interesting questions. It is shocking how rare and precious simply being genuine is these days.
Good insight, it seems like the reply below said the talks were submitted blindly though, so that's even better. They're just accepted and doing really well!
Pretty sweet demo: http://earwicker.com/carota/ !
The creative and powerful ones do the genetic material spreading too.
Your argument would be far more compelling if someone could actually tell us why exactly the target market wants extra strong windows. I might not be the target market, but if someone says "Well I have a Ford and gravel flicks up and smashes my passenger side windows" I would be able to understand. The problem is that even the people doing the demonstration didn't actually tell us why you would want stronger windows.
It's just exception throw/catch. The only difference to other languages is that you're not supposed to use it, as a matter of principle.

Instead of having to reimplement a series of linear algebra transformation as coarse-grained transformation on ndarrays/tensors, you create a domain-specific language that still give you the mathematical feel. This produce a computation graph that is optimized and compiled across the whole processing pipelines i.e. similar to Dask and Tensorflow delayed computations but you allow manual tuning or autotuning on block size (to best use L1, L2 or GPU cache), on memoization versus recomputing intermediate stages, on swizzling/re-ordering/re-packing inputs to improve cache access for micro-kernels and/or allow their SIMD vectorization.

Furthermore a compiler approach will lend itself to autodifferentiation like what Julia, Swift for Tensorflow and Halide are doing.

As others who have replied, that's not quite correct. However, substantially all the net income of the Federal Reserve is remitted to the Treasury Department.

Some of it is remitted to the "owning" banks, as a kind of rebate for the token capital they pay. But "ownership" here is not the same as beneficial ownership.

In other words, the Federal Reserve is designed to be not directly linked to the Executive Branch. But it is also designed not to be a profit-making private enterprise.
You really can't blame him for trying. If crypto-currencies supplant state-based currencies, especially if one were to crop up that would be less traceable than bitcoin, whole swaths of governments around the world find themselves increasingly irrelevant and, quite probably, powerless to make themselves more relevant.

And if government can't figure out how much a person makes or what he's worth, I'm pretty sure that leads to something way less dreamy and awesome than it sounds...because, if not, I think they would've covered such a thing in my public school education.
Pure gold

> As of December 2013, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) shows 1.3% inflation, while a recent media report indicated Bitcoin CPI has 98% deflation. In other words, spending Bitcoin now will cost you many orders of wealth in the future. This flaw makes Bitcoin’s value to the U.S. economy suspect, if not outright detrimental.
Indeed, US "liberal" and "conservative" have little to do with their other meanings. If you trace the history back on the terms you can find where they diverged, and there's some traces of connection, but for the most part you're better off taking them as "just variables" that happen to have leading names. I've also observed that the connection to their usage in other countries/polities are unreliable guides as well.
Personally, I just eat them as a snack or light lunch straight from the can. Or perhaps chopped into bits over a salad. Sometimes I even mix them with a little brown rice.
This is the type of people that keep countries from innovation. I don't have bitcoins, but for what I know the Bitcoin value isn't high enough to cause problems to the U.S. economy.
In terms of USD, or in terms of market cap?
I've been making 3d animations since 1996, websites since 1998, and compiled software since 2005. I've been employed in these capacities for the majority of my working life. So I'm speaking as a developer familiar with every aspect of a project like this. I know the amount of work that goes in to pioneering new technologies and the practical methodologies that capitalize on them. I realize that WebGL (et al.) is new, and presents challenges both technical and artistic surpassed only by the their afforded opportunities for new creative expression.

I can clearly see the tremendous amount of effort that went into realizing this. But given that effort, shouldn't there have been greater regard given to the quality of the finished product? For instance, there's no technical limitation which accounts for the length of the demo, nor is there any benefit to that length. If the piece had been of a more concise focus, the artists involved may have been able to create imagery was as visually stunning as it was technically impressive. Instead, the graphical elements feel quite unpolished, dated, and they detract from the impact of the project. This is but one of many examples of how I feel this piece is a failure to deliver on this technology's potential.

Certainly, the content of the work isn't as important as the technical systems needed to realize it. But if the purpose of such a demo is to show off what many splendours await us in this new era of the internet, wouldn't it be prudent to ensure that this demo actually works as expected? Why are so many people with Firefox 4 failing to run it? Why did it take me 5 tries to load the page? This isn't progress.

It bothers me that so much effort went into something that comes very close to a level where the average consumer would be impressed, but falls short because of a lack of ability to execute. If this were a commercial product, the market would slaughter you. And while I realize that tech demos aren't commercial products in and of themselves, they're still marketing something. A technology, a technique, a browser.

The recent advances in the web (CSS3, WebGL, HTML5, etc) are focused on improving online experiences. The biggest part of this is that they make it ever easier for all developers to create beautiful work. So it just bothers me to no end that people working on the forefront of this movement have such little regard for the beauty of their work. They're the ones carving the path. They should be showing us the new highs we may hit, on every level. They should be leading by example. There's no reason this tech demo couldn't have been as visually stunning as, say, the websites for 2advanced were back in the early days of Flash.

As long as a Flash solution like Papervision3D would provide a superior realtime 3d experience to a majority of web surfers (if this demo is anything to go by), we're not yet at the Web Page Of The Future.
Hmm, underwhelmed to be sure.

The blog article would be better if it wasn't 100% whine. Linking the original [1] would have been better HN material.

Nobody told the founders at Modista to file a patent on their work? There's $2500 bucks that would have been well spent. They could have simultaneously achieved patent protection and a re-examination of Like.com's patent. Since Like's would come up as an office action, they would turn around and send all the prior art that shows why their idea isn't like that patent but that even that Like's patent didn't have any original ideas, which internally could have started other wheels rolling.

Like it or not, you have to file patents for things that you are doing that are cool. This does two things for you, one it brings out people who might have applied for or done something similar, and two it gives you a way to prevent other people from jumping into your space. The Like.com guys did that, the Modista folks did not.

It's not perfect. But without it, anybody can just throw in their opinion or troll comment and if you're unfamiliar with the topic, you won't be able to tell the difference.

Votes are like a simplified version of facial expressions when talking in a group. Going off of a group's reaction is flawed too, but we do it anyway. It has more value to observers than no group reaction at all.
I've watched my friends work hard in basement for months when they were forming a band. All they got from that work was the chance to play for tips at a local bar.

There are a lot of designers who are passionate and have amazing potential, but no access any markets.

It can take months to build an app and startups can take a lifetime to build into a company.

The upside to all spec work is pretty bleak everywhere, but we do it out of passion and our audacity.

If it is too lousy of a deal, then 99design wouldn't even exist or be viable. There would be no startups, everyone would work at major established companies and Android and iOS would be terribly boring devices with only apps made by the platform manufacturers.
I actually agree with you that Zimbardo and Milgram are relevant to the wallet-steal trick. Keep in mind that the studies you are referencing didn't involve random strangers being told what to do, they were people who had applied to take part in a study, were pre-screened and were being paid for their time. This is also how I suspect Brown's scenario played out, this man almost certainly went through a similar process and knew he was being filmed but was not acting according to a script.
I think the problem with that assumption is that non-hackers can visit this site and vote for articles that are only interesting to the general public and otherwise off-topic for this site. It doesn't take many votes to get on the front page, you only need a handful of users who are willing to upvote any sensational headline.
You are making a false dichotomy. A) and B) are NOT mutually exclusive.

On the contrary. Assuming the vast majority of HN are indeed "hackers", and that we do not just blindly upvote, then a post will get upvoted iff hackers find it interesting.
I like to also add an anonymous recipient feature present in OpenPGP. (-R or --throw-keyid for GnuPG) to strip metadata. (Supported at least on GnuPG for encryption/decryption, and Mac version of PGP for decryption. For some reason, not on Windows.) Also, implementations like GnuPG will allow recipient ID to be spoofed, but even less implementation will support it.

I believe using this in conjunction with some garbage recipients (with a secret key thrown out immediately after the creation of a public key) will randomize metadata quite well for OpenPGP.

EDIT: clarified option switch is for GnuPG
Couldn't the view simply be one of pragmatism? That one can't ONLY focus on prevention, but look at the full lifecycle of prevention, detection, response / remediation, etc.?

Kind of an electronic view of "it won't happen to me"?

It really depends on what you're doing. If you're working on multiple projects that depend on other services to be running then it probably helps to use Vagrant. If you just need libs virtualenv is enough.
Well, the problem for me is what I perceive to be the discrepancy between how rebase is supposed to work, and what it actually does when I use it. I would like to think I understand it but I guess you could argue I don't. At any rate I'm not really learning about it, I just don't do it anymore because I kept getting burnt by it.

My teammates have suggested to simply merge master into the branch so I do that now. It adds a commit to the branch, but Github is smart enough not to litter up the PR diff with the merge commit.

Our codebase doesn't change that much, every commit to master has to go through a PR and get approved. So fortunately we don't have to contend with that.

Wow, this is a great idea! One idea, maybe add a small disclaimer or something at the bottom stating that any saved rewrite rules are private - rewrite rules often contain paths to scripts/pages on the filesystem that many people would never wish to reveal to the public. Or, make the storage functionality optional so real privacy freaks can turn it off.

I will definitely use this next time I have to hack 'n slash some rewrite rules though!
