There were about 18000 returns filed with the IRS above that AGI in 2010 according to some google searches.

Honestly I don't think there's enough people in the world at that income level to develop and sell.

Its also based heavily on the cultural assumption that nothing can be accomplished while traveling. Its not like they're being sedated and put into restraints for all 22 hours of that flight.

Its fairly telling about the mentality of the board in general that the only use "we" can discuss for a "magic people mover" is a plaything for the ultra-rich. Because god only knows, they don't have enough favorable treatment over us mere proles, and they don't have enough other playthings to toy with. Kind of like the military industrial complex sycophants can't think of any reason for a vehicle to exist other than to drop a bomb from it or mount a gun on it. Some slightly more socially acceptable ideas for a passenger suborbital would be "extreme medivac" where no matter where you are on the planet if you get horrifically sick you're at the CDC isolation ward in 3 hours, "instant medical supply delivery" when you really really need a donor organ across the planet in 3 hours, and "extreme blue collar" like ship both a special factory floor machine tool part and a technician from the plant to install it because many factory floors cost far more than $40K/day if they're shut down.
Under normal circumstances, there are a large number of supernodes available. Unfortunately, today, many of them were taken offline by a problem affecting some versions of Skype.

So, what was the problem affecting versions of Skype?
They fixed it... I talked about it in my post.
Yeah, as mentioned in the story, 60 Minutes first looked at the research a decade ago where they could identify tools.

The ability to identify suicidal patients is promising.
A linkedin article that is estimating theoretical pre-orders, written purely to "cash-in" on the current buzz.

The $100 refundable deposit makes it easy for anyone to "buy in" to the idea of owning a Tesla. It's clearly a great marketing technique, especially when there's a cult like following of the brand and 'outsiders' want to get in on it.
Most people will never get to the stage of being bulky, especially for a woman due to the lower testosterone levels. Those big dudes and gals you see on the internet are on steroids.
I remember when it was easy to get edus. Recall someone who had irc.edu until they got caught.
> 1. You hosted consumers (go binaries or docker containers which would accept the body and headers of the HTTP response on the consumer side and do something with it), ran them for me in a loop

I toyed with this idea at http://dollardeploys.com/ but the feedback I got was "Heroku can do this for free".
Do TikToks cross the great firewall? Maybe TikTok will allow dissent outside the great firewall?
Eggs and stir fry some vegetables. It takes about 10 minutes.
Consider that a homeless fellow here in Portland, not long ago said to me
"Some of they people I find sleeping on the street, they tell me they used
to make six figures".
I find lots of software engineers eating at soup kitchens and sleeping in
homeless shelters.

wait a minute, what?
I developed a service that does SSL installation for you on Heroku: https://www.expeditedssl.com
I have seen this referred to as the "Russian doll" caching strategy. You can find several examples using Rail's partials or Django's cache template tag.
Do you not care if your output succeeded ?
From what I've briefly seen, it just redirects you from the profile page to this URL:
https://www.facebook.com/search/{{fbuid}}/photos-of

where, as you can guess, {{fbuid}} is the id of the user. And yeah, you can view photos from users that you aren't friends with despite that by looking directly at the profile you couldn't view them.
I had a similar reaction. Many of us who spend a lot of time online interact frequently with people we've never met as it is. In 3-5 years, we could have digital followers on social networks who are indistinguishable from real people.

Imagine that they're more attractive, more flattering and more interesting - what happens next?

I can see us becoming like the animal that dry humps some false approximation of its mate, unable to tell that it's stepped away from reality and is just fulfilling its desires without procreation.
Usually, you will not get completely indemnified financially. Legally, though, yes. Having a green card to do physical testing is a lot of fun. Some of the time the police do get called or whatever, I have stories. But, the short version is.... nothing happens. You have contacts high up at the company. You have a contract. It spells out you will be doing these things. You usually get paid some amount up front. It's enough to not worry about it very much and just do your job.
I am not familiar with Prosus but wikipedia says it's Dutch, not Chinese.
The turn-of-the-century digital lifestyle, just with some upgraded components. A worthy goal.

“Convenience” is the truly obscene “c-word”.
Very interesting that they chose to go with a tipping model vs letting creators set up "pay to enter" chat rooms. That would be a lot more useful for the way I normally see the product used.

I guess this was just the easiest lift from the technical side (not too much work beyond copy pasting some Stripe sample code).

Although if it's just a matter of P2P money transfer for tips/donations then I'd rather use something like Venmo or Cash App and pay no fees. If I was a creator on Clubhouse I'd be putting "Venmo me at @XYZ instead of this" on my profile right now.
If a prosecutor can't prove a crime beyond a reasonable doubt, I think we don't want them charging a crime regardless of what the crime is.
So netflix is the library model, for movies. :)
The problem is that the existing system is in a stable equilibrium. A lawyer generally can't advise most clients to not take a plea deal because not taking the plea deal will have a worse outcome for that client.

It's literally the prisoner's dilemma. You have to have all the lawyers and all the clients act in concert. But if someone defects, they get the plea deal (better than getting stuck in jail and going to trial) and the others get screwed.
>>Service providers should not reject you because you are disabled, because you have a child, because you have a certain religion, or whatever else is the problem.

What about the incorrect political beliefs, are you saying I have to transport a Republican? or a Nazi?
Crusader Kings III has you live on as your daughter/son when you die.

As there is no adoption mechanic, same-sex relationships will lead to a game over unless you are one of the few countries that can use the House Seniority mechanic.

So I guess they never got around to implementing adoption.

Banning though...? That was weird.

Case law doesn't exist in a majority of the world and somehow these legal systems work nonetheless, in at least some instances even arguably better.

yes, it's very stupid. Also, DMCA (from what i read, IANAL) overrides the fair use clause of doing reverse engineering for compatibility, so you can trivially sue somebody for reverse engineering your protocols/interfaces by just doing a token rot13 on it and then claiming that the reverser is circumventing DRM.
I am currently interested in stylistic and stylometry. Do you know of good resources on this topic?
The very first thing he said was "he hates plastic".

And keyboard preference is just that, preference. I personally like my Macbook Pro's keyboard to my Thinkpad's. Weird how opinions work. But maybe this guy would actually like the Thinkpad's keyboard...he should go try one out. Do Best Buy's carry them? Are Best Buy's still around?
Except for the complete crap reliability and tiny size

Use secure technology, not crappy technology.
Back to where you started. Slackware.
Like I said: Akka's right there. Works in nice, nonthreatening Java.

But the "repair" I was referring to is that a developer can leave rather than put up with conservative silliness if they so choose (and personally, I do, my last gig was a Scala one and so is the next). Java shops are not so rare as to be irreplaceable and any shop seriously worried about hiring somebody who can work with systems that are by now fairly well-understood isn't going to be a good place for any decent developer's career.
Error-correcting codes can help with reliability.

Rate-limiting is appropriate for some use cases.

If you develop with Rails do it on a VM, even a headless server you ssh into and export the filesystem to your Windows editor. Ruby on Windows is an inferior experience, because most of the developers in the ecosystem are on Mac and Linux. The servers are on Linux.
I think/hope that it is still like that, just that haters are a subset of people, whose opinions are currently disproportionately magnified.
The little Asian kid reminded me of Brian Wong.
Of course Web development is broken. Because Web was never meant to be developed for.

Originally, Web was intended as a collection of resources -- actually, a filesystem of sorts. But it grew out of proportions as it became popular since it allowed users to see color and pictures and animations on the Internet, which was up to that point either limited to plain text, or required some heavy-weight, non-standard applications to be installed on the client. Actually, the name used for the application used to access the Web -- a browser -- tells a lot about how it was intended to use: to "browse" the resources, not to execute them. Could you imagine what desktop development would look like if you were limited to using just some sort of file viewer to program for it?

Each Web application is, actually, two completely unrelated Web applications. One is executed on the host and is preparing the data for the Web server to serve; but there is another, which is running in each of the users' browsers, only connected to the former one by asymmetric pairs of requests and responses. Even if it consists only of HTML (and CSS), it still has code being interpreted and evaluated on the client; ajax apps only emphasize this.

So it's not Web development that is broken; in fact, it is a miracle how what was created by the developers to work around the fundamental limitations of the platform, which was never meant to be one.
I've been told more than once that your average Midwestern software engineer blows your average west coast engineer out of the water, but never seen it elaborated on like this. Tooling does make a great difference - I was shocked when I had a coworker actually speak out against automating mundane git commands.
The article was written by someone called Martin Matusiak, or at least that's what it says on his home page [1]. Apparently he lives in Utrecht. barrkel's blog [2] (linked off his HN profile), on the other hand, says his name is Barry Kelly, and he lives in London. They do, however, both work with Delphi.

Good points to sate someone like me who gets pretty upset over lack of quality
How did it work before with RoR? The whole response was buffered and then sent at once with a Content-Length header?

I wonder why "HTTP Streaming" (known since years as "Chunked Encoding") is such a big deal now.
Oh sorry the design aesthetic of the S is fine. Though when i see one I can't work out which of the large saloon car it is.

I mean the cheap plasticy build quality, mainly the interior. It doesn't look nor feel like a luxury car inside.
If you're using bcrypt then the client has transmitted the password to you. You can store a higher cost hash after verifying the password against the old hash.
I am one of those. I had an advance copy, loved it and posted my review. Feel free to challenge anything in my review: http://amzn.to/hDRfVB
Only recently (relatively) has Nevada gone from a state-wide code of 702 to 702 and 775.

Additionally - by the last paragraph, why then would San Jose have a 408 - if by their facts only states with a single area code for the state had 0 as the second digit?
It will be interesting to see if this morphs into an expectation that email providers offer a minimum level of protection, as a floor. And then, once the floor is established, will be a race to the bottom?

Edit: I'm not saying that such an outcomes logically follows, only that the vagaries of society may shift in that direction.
You can't use it yet because what I deem an MVP for this is far-away from what I have right now. At the moment, the tech is probably 80% of the way to what would be in a v1, but the design/experience is maybe 20% of the way there.

Getting this to a proper v1 requires a design exercise that's at least 2/3 months long, during which time I need a full-time designer and a full-time lawyer.

I don't think that I absolutely need a lawyer as a co-founder, but I do think that having one would definitely be great. (Which is why I tried that.)
Too be fair, when I say 20 years ago I'm thinking "the 80s", then I remember that's wrong and I'm old.
Assuming an attacker fully compromises SGX for machines under his physical control (e.g. can execute arbitrary code inside an attested enclave), what can the attacker do/what security properties of MobileCoin break?

I know Moxie seems to put near-complete trust in SGX, but many security professionals don't.
This is all somewhat cliche advice, but as usual there is truth to be found in any advice.

Treat your life like an imperative programming language. Determine your goal, and start breaking it down into the simplest steps to achieve that goal. Many time you can simply replicate the steps others have taken (this does not mean exactly). Nothing will change until you start making the changes. Find everything you dislike in your life and determine a way out of it. There are certain things you can't do (not everyone can be an NBA star), but there are a multitude of other options. Also, be shameless. It is ok to depend on other people, promote your work, ask for favors (just don't spam). 99 percent of the time you will be rejected but don't be disheartened. More than anything else, develop some skill towards perfection so that you are less likely to be rejected. Alternately (or at minimum, in addition), find out how to market the hell out of yourself and your work. This does not mean buying ads, it means capturing minds. Find people who are better than you and take genuine interest in their work, and strive to make your work as good as theirs (they will take interest, and others will by association). Be honest in everything you do, dishonesty can destroy your future chances at anything. Be genuine, don't try to sell something you are not interested in. Don't get caught up in your own made-up principles, do the things that are proven to work.

There is no easy or guaranteed path to success, but every failure tempers you against future failures. Most successful people go for years before they produce anything successful (a common number seems to be around 8-10 years). People, like me, will say to do XYZ, but in the end even going against common advice can make you successful. Listen to everyone's advice, but weigh it against your own instinct.

Much of the advice people gave me I ignored, and it worked out for the better. This does not mean to act like you are smarter than everyone else - listen to what everyone has to say, it may help you as well.
A lot of what your protocol enables can be done with CouchDB, with the notable of Webhooks and websocket. CouchDB's protocol has been worked on, implemented and used in production for years now, with several implementations.

I'd love to see CouchDB used more and checked first as a starting point for anything in the space of live update of data, because it just works so well. Too many people re-invent the wheel left and right in this domain.
Only difference now is the rate of new technology adoption is 10x what it used to be.
People who offer free help typically do so because they like to work on interesting problems, not act as an intermediary between a lazy programmer and the documentation.

You're assuming that all kinds of help are equal in the eyes of someone who practices this "hobby," and that's simply not true. It's basically the equivalent of, "You just waste your time in that soup kitchen anyway, why not come cook me a meal in my mansion instead?"
We apparently have quite different friends. Removing myself from Hangouts means that I get information either in person, or through email, if at all.

I'm currently relying on the Signal rework of TextSecure to get most of us off of Hangouts: the big barrier to adoption has been easy-to-configure clients that work on Android, iOS, and desktop and sync message history amongst clients.
I think the intelligentsia do better when they have some manual labor in their lives too. I posit that the gig economy is just a modern take on classism and indentured servitude. We would be better served to improve robotics, automation and efficiency rather than grow a servant class (again).
This was me 10 years ago. I got rid of my cell phone and got rid of internet service at my house. I had to go to a local coffee shop. After a month or so of regularly going I met some people. I also took up racquetball and jiu-jitsu. Getting rid of internet service and a cell phone saved my life. At least in my opinion.

These are suggestions for you but maybe someone for whom your comment resonates with will get a helpful idea from what I've written. I hope you find a way out of your rut.
It helps to have persistent friends who force you to get outside. What types of things are you interested in?
...and fast forward few years and you have the Black-Mirror episode "Fifteen Million Merits" happening world-wide.

How long do you think it will take for advertisers to realise that people will watch "stuff" even if you don't pay them as long as they have nothing better to do. Add to this the fact that major media outlets (movie productions, tv-channels) will jump at the chance to broadcast ads as entertainment.

A very dark future awaits us...
So start your own communications network. Market it. Make it open. May the best solution win.
I disagree. Context switches are always expensive. If I devote 60 seconds to washing dishes, then 60 seconds to picking up trash, then to coding, then to mopping, then to laundry... You get the idea. On the other hand ignoring hard (or boring) tasks has other negative consequences. I try to balance my activities and devote reasonable amount of time to each task when there is enough work to be done. Multiplexing poor old me, if you will. Pause the world scenarios are not that detremental as long as your total throughput does not diminish.

On topic: so they traded some large unexpected pauses for a lower throughput rate. I like the lazy object remapping idea. I usually like stability over increased throughput and this scheme seems to provide just that.
It's good to see C# is able to create its very own snobs; a first for a language without an original idea behind it.

Welcome aboard, hope you are able to increase your sense of self-importance and foster a more exclusive body-politic.

I have known people who bought used computers or Office software, and had no idea that their software was pirated until they attempted to reinstall it. While it is sometimes obvious when software is pirated, it often is not.
There was, for a short while, an almost-NY-syle bagel (and definitely the best in the bay) at Roland's. However, he had landlord disputes, and then another dispute with his business partner at the next place he went to. Haven't heard anything since, but if he does manage to have a drama-free business open up again, go.
Both ELB and RDS only work within a single zone, and this latest incident occurred in "multiple availability zones", according to Amazon

ELB and RDS work across multiple zones. So a single ELB can span EC2 instances in multiple zones within a region. So I could have 4 EC2 instances in us-east-1a, us-east-1b, us-east-1c, and us-east-1d, with an RDS instance in us-east-1a and a read replica in us-east-1b. What happens when us-east-1a goes down and every big user in that AZ has failover mechanisms that start moving instances, EBS volumes, RDS databases, S3 buckets and who knows what else from us-east-1a to us-east-1b,c, and d? Those AZ's get overloaded, API endpoints get slammed, and the whole region goes down in flames. It didn't matter that these availability zones are hosted on separate infrastructures (from what I gather, the zones are separate datacenters in the same city with low latency connections between them, but separate power sources and backbone connections). Meanwhile, all's quiet on the US-West front.

That's what got me thinking about failover across regions.
In his talk, he referred to the Kindle nearly exclusively as the "Amazon Swindle," only clarifying that he was talking about the Kindle at the end, for what its' worth.
Qubes seems to be YASTVOS (Yet Another Security Through Virtualization OS). While I'm not going to disagree that Xen vms represent a smaller attack surface than most current installations, that doesn't mean there won't be bugs. If you shift everyone to a solution like this, guaranteed people will be breaking out of it. VMware has had a number of vm escapes.

The other problem is these OS's often don't seem to get very far. Seems like Qubes is launching beta 1. It's the kind of thing that one would expect needing a significant time to shake out.

Which isn't to say I wouldn't like to run a nicely implemented example of the concept. It certainly has the possibility of raising the bar significantly. Of course, it seems like no matter how far windows raises the bar people still keep on jumping it easily.
You move the complexity to the system instead of the automaton.

An ant is an easily understood organism behaviorally, however, when working in unison according to a very simple set of operating conditions they generate incredibly complex behavior.

Most people want to design complex automatons that understand the entire solution space instead of designing simple automatons that interact with other simple automatons to converge on a reasonable approximation of the solution.

You can see this in the article itself where the article describes C code as clear. Yes, it's very clear to anyone reading C exactly what assembly instructions will be produced but it's about as clear as mud as to what the code is actually accomplishing. I tend to care more what the code does as opposed to how it does it which is why I prefer functional languages where I have no clue as to what assembly will be produced but have a good idea of what is actually being accomplished.

Apparently C supports something called a string but all I ever see is a pointer to a char.
Squeak smalltalk has the <- character. It's actually the '_' character but displays as a one character width left arrow. You can also use :=
Well, I always listen to the tone of voice. This gives me a good indication of whether they're worth listening to or not.

Usually, people speaking with a scornful tone of voice (or the written equivalent) are more venting than they are providing useful information. There's no need to pay too much attention to whatever they have to say, because if it's a big deal they'll say it again once they've calmed down.

I've noticed that when programming computers there are very few problems that can be fixed by behaving like a dick. And those that can be fixed by behaving like a dick, can also be fixed whilst behaving in a more gentlemanly fashion. The rest can be left unsolved, politely. There's really no reason not to do this.
