From the company's point of view (purely pathological) the 'cost' of the injuries would be damage to their brand, lawsuits etc. That should be taken into account.

Ethically though I think the recall was the right thing to do. And presumably the sooner they do it the better for everyone?

Another interesting 'risk' to look at is given some evidence that your product may be defective, what is the probability that is actually is defective (upon further tests). And whether to test 'under the radar' or be transparent about the problem. (Putting ethics to one side for a moment).

Yes, precisely what you said here, but also: I'd eventually like to build a team so we can tackle more diverse projects.

It sounds like you think I'm on the right track here. :)

We're currently based in Orlando, but so far our clients have been a mix of both local and international.
What kind of credit card form doesn't allow debit cards? I've never seen one and been shopping all over Europe, both online and in person.
It can signal a prioritization of values. Startups tend move fast and be flexible, and tend to have less customers so each one is more valuable. Established companies tend to move slowly and often provide worse customer service. By being honest about being a startup (or being an established company) expectations can be set between company and customer. Pretending to be established when in reality you are not seems disingenuous, and I think it's pretty easy to argue that being genuine is good/can be an advantage.
Now ask yourself how decisions are made regarding new infrastructure deployments.

But what I actually had in mind was QoS.
I guess to me the main point of the new article seemed to be that the prestige and “signaling of strength” associated with the .com is what makes it important, while the older article argues having a traditionally prestigious name can actually be a negative, in signaling that maybe the founders “have more money then brains”. (I understand he's referring here to names that are obviously bought from squatters, but still the main point seems to be don't worry if a name fits into the traditional mold or seems 'prestigious' as long as its unique, memorable and ideally communicates something about your business. I'd also never expect a newer startup to be able to find "stripe.com" or "parse.com" without paying significantly for them today.)

I’d also say the proliferation of new TLD domains has made them more, not less acceptable for new companies, especially ones like .io and .ly that have come to be pretty closely associated with the startups in general. Like you say, in 2006 nearly everything still was .com so a non .com might have stood out more as a negative, and even then pg says he still had no problems with del.icio.us

Also the last section stood out for me as a contrast with the title of this one:

"Whatever name you choose, be careful. Names stick. You need a way to refer to things, and whatever you call something rapidly becomes its name."
Well, at least prg.aero is actual website and not redirect (which may have something to do with the fact that ownership structure of the airport had changed around the time .aero was introduced).
Same in Haskell there is Int for your normal bounded integer (28 bit I think) and there is Integer which is bounded only by the amount of memory you can allocate on the heap.
It seems a lot of this sort of stuff would stop happening if they just incarcerated members of the US justice system for the crimes they got people wrongly convicted for.

E.g., you put a man in jail for ten years over a robbery he didn't commit, by fudging evidence, and you as prosecutor are then forced to serve the ten year sentence.

Ludicrous of course, very eye-for-an-eye, but it might certainly put a dent in the rampant corruption that seems to be happening stateside.
Machine Learning: Inferring Algorithmic Patterns with Stack
Mailman 3.0 to modernize mailing lists
A slight tangent but good feedback to OP regardless:

I use MaxMind at work but because we're on the RoR stack, we have to download and commit the massive 30MB databases into our repository in order for it to be used on Heroku. We use https://github.com/yhirose/maxminddb which seems to be the only good option available that reads the new "mmdb" format. It's a complete pain to have to commit such massive DBs for it to work and would prefer for Rails to fetch the database upon initialization, cache it for at most 2 days and redownload if it hasn't already been restarted by Heroku.

If you can provide a solution to that, it would give us enough value for me to pay a few dollars per month for it.
Yeah, just looking at the slides is missing 75% of the context. Videos of the DEF CON presentations will be uploaded to media.defcon.org at some point.
That's not my point. I don't feel safe at all when I have to use Windows. What I mean is that Linux alone isn't enough even for simple internet browsing, we need to be extremely paranoid and use all the tools available. Adopting that whole "web security stack" (noscript, ublock, no plugins, etc) is a important step but also gives you a sense of false security.

Unlike so much other relatively new law, this satisfies mens rea, "the guilty mind" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mens_rea) so I can't say I have problems with it. Heck, it echoes a favorite Proverb, the start of 28:

The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion.

If I were to realize a (now very much ex-)friend had just maimed and murdered a bunch of people, my first thought would not be to dispose of evidence.
> These are generally called axioms, but these are totally distinct from axioms in the sense of ZFC's axioms.

I wouldn't really say they're "totally distinct". For example, one could say that general group theory is studying the theory (in the logic sense) of a group (usually the second order theory rather than first order, but you get idea). Then adding assumptions about the structure of the group under consideration is like adding axioms and looking at the new theory.

Thinking you "have to succeed" means you are already conditioned in a certain way. Life is not a race.
It's also widget selection; On Android, for example, you may want a hamburger menu. On KDE, your menus get reshuffled compared to your OSX or Windows UI.

> Why AMD is not all over this

AMD are barely treading water in the markets they already compete in. Both Intel (CPU) and NVIDIA (GPU) have stolen back enormous mind and market share [0]. I doubt they could afford the outlay of capital and research time to build something competitive. Maybe if they were in better shape financially a braver board/CEO could pivot them away from the CPU/GPU markets they've lost to something different. Their current road-map takes AMD through to 2016, after that who knows.

[0] NVIDIA's 9XX series GPUs have been incredibly aggressively priced and marketed. AMD effectively ceded the high end consumer (gaming etc) market since September last year. Gaming parts are big PR for both companies, so it's quite a bad sign IMO.
Mathematical truths and objects are real things with existence independent of our minds that we "discover," not just designed things. The author seems to believe that the language used to describe mathematics (which is indeed a designed thing, just like software) is the only thing "there." She is probably a formalist.

I think it is important to remember this, because mathematics, like a computer, "fights back." You cannot simply dream up whatever structure you want and have it mean what you want and behave how you want. See Godel's incompleteness theorems. No matter what you are doing, your mathematical constructs (including your implicit Turing Machines in your computer programs) must obey certain underlying constraints that are completely mind-independent. These constraints are what mathematicians study, albeit through a glass, darkly.

Regardless of ontological issues with the post, I like that it emphasizes the designed nature of our mathematical tools. The space of possible tools is so large that there is near-limitless room for human creativity and design in mathematical research. It is a shame that most mathematics classes don't really get that across.

Exactly. Old misdirection tactics: add atomic before noun to make it sound cool and important. New misdirection tactics: add quantum before noun to make it sound cool and important.
I wondered about the tone too ... perhaps we've got a fake-paul-graham in our midst? The thought experiment referenced by [1] is pretty weak. I don't think it's the attachment to a name but more commonly the lack of a better name - and it's especially hard to find a name you like that still has a .com domain available. Having a .com name like stripe indicates a position of strength because (at this point in time), someone paid extra for the privilege.
I would recommend applying for other jobs that fit your skill set, go to a couple of interviews. After you have gone to a couple of interviews do a comparison of the pros and cons of each job to see which one benefits you the best in the short and long term in terms of financially, learning potential, growth potential, commute time, investment opportunities, team work and anything else that you believe is important.

In the interviews ask to speak with other people on the team so you can make sure you will actually be doing embedded software development and not just a manager or someone that does not do the work. As a manager may not always know what is truly involved in the job asking the people doing the work normally yields more information for you to work with.

In terms of how to explain this on your CV, you do not do this on your resume, but do this in interviews. Normally you just tell the truth by saying the work being done did was more business software development than embedded software development.

Don't be afraid to give your notice after you have accepted a job that is more in line with what you want to do. Just make sure you stay professional so you do not burn any bridges.
The real takeaway from this research is that AMPK manipulation in the manner demonstrated here is categorically not an exercise mimetic because it does nothing in healthy individuals. A real exercise mimetic would extend median life span, since that's what exercise does in mice.

Other strategies that end up showing altered AMPK levels along the way have been shown to extend life and improve health in laboratory species. It is very complex, and researchers are very far from understanding how even very reliable and straightforward ways of slowing aging work. E.g. calorie restriction. Studied for a century, no comprehensive explanation of how it works yet.

This, along with tiny beneficial effects, is the reason we should largely ignore all of these efforts to throw drugs at metabolism in the hopes of lengthening healthspan. It is a grand waste of time, because even if wondrously successful the best you could hope for in the next few decades is something that is outperformed by actually exercising or practicing calorie restriction.

What a waste of billions of dollars that will be. Yet that's what is going to happen, judging by the willingness to fund this sort of work. It is like the research and development community has learned nothing from the outcome of fifteen years of sirtuin research.

If we want to see radical life extension in our lifetimes, it is going to come from SENS and the like, deliberate targeted efforts to repair specific aspects of biochemical damage that cause cell and tissue dysfunction. Not random drugs mined from the natural world, but elegantly engineered biotechnologies that do exactly what they are intended to do. You might look at allotopic expression of mitochondrial DNA for example, as developed by Gensight at the moment ( http://www.gensight-biologics.com/ ). The problem is identified, and a precise fix applied to cells via gene therapy to make exactly the problem and only the problem go away.

That is the future of medicine. Yet the regulations and inertia behind the old drug development pipeline is very resistant to change. We'd better hope that the disruption represented by Gensight and other similar efforts takes hold, because we're going to age and suffer just like our parents and on pretty much the same schedule if it doesn't.

The pipe operator came from OCaml I believe and is also used in F#. Huge convenience for functional langauges.
If you search for a .com domain and it's already taken, you're not being creative enough. You're looking where someone has already looked in the world of ideas, you're not expanding the world of ideas.

Whereas if you force yourself to buy an untaken .com domain, you are pushing yourself to think creatively. You might even get so lucky to come up with a fantastic name such as Airbnb or Zenefits.

Or, less snarkily, I don't think it's self-evident that a writer who uses exclamation marks a lot is a bad writer (although I can't think of a counterexample). What leads you to say that?

(also I'd argue that "abusing" exclamation marks follows from your judgement of "bad writer". Any good writers would be using exclamation marks, not abusing them)
That would be problematic as part of the experience of sense dep is lack of sensory input. Also, the salt water really stings if it gets in your eyes. So, how to attach the goggles?

Mathematics: Form and Function by Saunders McLane
Do people really like this book?? I thought it was cliche, dated and infomercially. Truly am perplexed when i see it recommended.
The analogy is useless, but not for this reason.

If it were just that the axioms of law are more complicated in the sense of being more conditional, then law would be extremely math-like. After all, theorems with lots of conditional properties (e.g., very common in certain types of algebra, a lot of dynamics, any programming language theory, etc.) are still mathematical theorems.

Law is distinguished from Math in two ways:

1) Law has more politics and isn't immune from politics. Mathematical truth, at least, is.

2) In law, the atomic propositions are always difficult to quantify and require human judgement; there is rarely an algorithm for weighing the evidence and determining guilt (or constitutionality, etc).

How to do backpropagation in a brain [video]
I'm working on a live programming environment that is quite reactive, requiring a lot of book keeping to know when recomputations occur. Since code can be executed multiple times over time, I perform a trace-based optimization that caches bookkeeping work in a fast path as long as the objects used and branches taken don't change. So the fast path has to check that these invariants haven't changed, and its branching behavior is necessarily always the same as the slow path that preceded it (otherwise, another slow path re-computation is triggered).

And branching behavior for the most part doesn't change: your condition is often a continuous function where small changes in input cause small changes in output, meaning the condition flips between true and false only very rarely. Nowhere continuous conditions like the one pointed out in the example (if i % 2 == 0) are very rare in real code! Modern CPUs also depend on coherent branching behavior, and conditions like this throw it off. I bet most of the 15X slowdown that the author is experiencing is not from the extra conditions, but from thrashing in the BPU (branch prediction unit)!
Stability is a great way to counter this effect. If a county goes up and down the cancer rate chart then it's probably statistical noise. However, if it's steadily at the top every decade for 50 years that's likely to have an cause. Even if it's just an older than normal population.
it also means you need your own vps or dedicated server to run that... and usually a pretty beefy one at that. that weeds 90% of your potential demographic out. you might as well as do a saas with something like this. if you want easy to deploy it should be easily deployable on a $5 digital ocean vps or heroku.

My school district (What a mess) publishes images (Horrible bad images) of all the school notes including all financial information and spreadsheets. I had to one night type in for 4 hours manually the years budget just to check on our spending per student. It was $5,400 the lowest in our state.
You are right about the chitty idea, but decent .com names are dropped every day. (You need to scout for names every day though, but will become a nasty habit in no time.) I have found that people, outside of tech, will remember weird, odd .com domains. I got people to remember physibles(and how to spell it.), and these were senior citizens. (I guarantee these people have never been on the mother site either!)

I tried a different domain with a .io domain; and it just wasen't worth it the effort.(they knew about .net. ,org, but that's it.). There's almost a anger that comes up when a domain ext. gets to specific, like .photography?
These days an alternative is to just not have a (public) domain at all.
This is a really hair-splitting distinction that only makes sense if mathematicians wrote proofs (e.g., about commutative group theory) while keeping ZFC's axioms in mind.

But even then, it's not really an appropriate distinction -- accidentally assuming inconsistency and moving forward with it is exactly as far-reaching as assuming inconsistency at the foundations. And, doing some obscure work on an inconsistent foundations that no body uses is exactly as harmless as doing some obscure work on a structure without elements.

Well maybe it's a choice. In California water should be more expensive to discourage people/industries from using it (depending on population desnity, it could be better to import). But the agriculture lobby ensures their consumption of water is protected. Maybe if there isn't enough water i California, then intensive agriculture was a bad idea in the first place?
You can simply dream up whatever axioms, undefined terms, and rules of logic you want. However, one runs the risk of having an inconsistent system or a system that is not interesting to others. Godel's Incompleteness Theorem does not say that this can't be done. Furthermore the "underlying contraints" imposed by Godel's Incompleteness Theorem is not at all what most mathematicians study. Unless I'm misinterpreting your meaning here.

There are knowledgeable people who do not believe that mathematics is independent of our minds. It's not too far fetched of an idea. While I do not personally agree with this, I won't downplay such beliefs.
I never got into programming growing up because I thought it involved complex math. I wish I knew it's mostly logic rather than algebra.

The Bitcointalk Decentralized Exchange- IPO
There well may be correlation but in this article, the only objective measure of fact is that of the number of exclamation points.

The main assumption, that the book gets worse over time, is completely subjective and dependent on that particular reader's personal preferences (is it just style? is it the subject matter?, it is the plot? the dialogues?).

It's a dangerous game to play: you can easily persuade yourself that you are reaching some objective truth when in fact you're just measuring your own personal bias and hiding it behind the veneer of a scientific methodology.

A fairly good example of confirmation bias.
Can you give us some examples?
