The idea is to run most of the networking stack in user space. This means that context switches aren't required on a per-packet basis anymore.

The idea is not that you do your own packet processing in every app (although big gains can be had that way, fucking with TCP can pay off big, and avoids firewall issues with UDP protocols). But there are standard libraries for doing standard TCP and UDP over this. There are even libraries for doing non-standard (multipath) TCP with the netmap framework.

Also there is network interface hardware that effectively implements the netmap framework.

Plus think of the other advantages of this : userspace firewalls/deep packet inspection/proxys/... (that therefore can't ever crash the kernel, run with minimal privileges and when blown up can just be restarted)
Yea if you think about it short term memory is necessary for the movement of consciousness from state to state. Otherwise it'd be like flipping a toaster on.

Are you being intentionally obtuse? We all know articles like this rarely give you both sides of the story but amidst the emotion in this article are facts which demonstrate a very clear picture of shady business practices and obviously unethical behavior. The legality is certainly questionable but you can't seriously consider the company in the article to be providing a legitimately useful service to these people. I hope this is some kind of contrived case of devil's advocacy or blind obsession with an economic ideal on your part because if not your moral compass needs some serious tuning.
The value to the buyer isn't the issue.
You can request entitlements, such as network access, but you need to justify them in the App Store review process. Given that Haskell for Mac is pushing the boundaries of what is available on the Mac App Store, I wanted to err on the side of being too conservative for the launch version.

I will certainly work towards network support in coming releases.

These people unfortunately have a hard time with basic reading/cognitive skills. Unless the government or a non-profit helps them out they are going to have a hard time self organizing and pull off the best possible deal.

Besides ethical reasons, it's in everyone's best interest to make sure that poor people don't get abused in this way because when they end up needing social services (shelter, food, medical aid, etc.) that help comes from every tax payer's money.
I am sincerely sorry to think this, but what jumped out to me was the fact that the owner's names "Blumenfeld" and "Borowski" are both jewish names. It is instances like these that will eventually lead to the rise of economic antisemitism in America.

Nice to see that atheists can also be humorless and overly-literal.

Edit: Honest question to downvoters: You are aware that "a special place in Hell" is a figure of speech, yes? That emodendroket was not actually saying "no need to fix this problem, God will take care of it"? Or are you perhaps interpreting my post as a knee-jerk dig at all atheists, as opposed to just at eli_gottlieb for being overly pedantic?
That's not really true as these are cases with a relatively small number of plaintiff's each with a relatively high value claim.

The kinds of cases where you see plaintiffs getting coupons and lawyers making bank are those with a lot of plaintiffs who were each harmed a very small amount.
Is this a web app?

Yes, I totally understand the desire to try the app first. For the launch version, we had no choice, but to go with the Mac App Store.

I have started to investigate alternative distribution channels (which then would allow trials, too), but that will take a while to implement (so, I can't promise anything concrete at the moment).
Well that was a given in my statement... hence partner with the large AdNetworks, use the already existing scripts which are integrated much better into the existing sites, AT&T can simply server all requests to www.big.ad.network/ads.js from it's own servers in it's own internal network serving ads from their internal campaigns sharing revenue....
Heck considering that the ads AT&T can serve can be much more relevant to a specific location such as a mall, a large venue, or an airport heck even stores within say half a mile of the hotspot they might actually be "useful".

Adnetworks are saving bandwidth, AT&T doesn't have to fight with HTML injection which can break on many sites, AdNetworks get better targeted advertisement win for everyone...
It definitely provides some optimism with what is possible in Haskell, nice! I think it might be more of a community thing, many Haskell researchers I know don't have a desire for IDEs (so they don't write or use them as much), but I would also chalk some of it up to the language design and evolution not being very accommodating to the goal.

I'm guessing it works by refreshing the world right now, correct?
I'm not sure that the CIA would be wasting so much time on dubious culture creation/shaping without it being proven as extremely effective in the right context.

Aside from the Justice Preening, this raises some interesting ethical questions about time preference. I mean, in a lot of cases they understood exactly what they were doing - giving up some money tomorrow in exchange for some today. They just made a more drastic tradeoff than, say, traders selling treasury bonds, but less drastic than, say, the millions of people taking payday loans, or those same traders if they expected interest rates to rise to 30%. It's unclear what exactly it means to "not understand" the tradeoff - presumably if you said the words to them they would repeat them back and tell you they "understand" that this will happen in the future; it's not exactly a difficult calculation, just an if-then.

Does competency then require some kind of accurate estimation on their part of future regret? This seems like a really high bar that millions of, eg, high functioning alcoholics or one-night-stand partakers fail each day.

Does lead screw with time preference specifically? I would assume so, but is it more or less than would be expected given the effect on general mental capacity?

How high of time preference is "too high"? Is it unethical to transact with someone who wants things NOW just a little too strongly, maybe even so strongly that they don't bother to comparison shop? Do our ethics require them to be pariahs, even though they're not "incompetent" enough for someone else to be responsible for their affairs?

Would cashing them in at parity with the estimated present value (which, given their condition, they're likely to squander over roughly the same time period they squandered the larger amount) be more un/ethical? Equally?

It would be unfair of me to attribute this to the person you're replying to, but I've noticed that on sites like HN and reddit there seems to be a strange desire by some people to try to make things not about race, gender or sexual preference as much as possible. It's as if they are somehow lessened or hurt by it but I'm not sure how. Perhaps a feeling of guilt and wanting to deflect it drives that behavior. But it is present in the comments of a lot of articles that bring up or imply race, gender or sexual orientation is a factor.

Half-baked thought: What about a free, opt-in service requiring a second reading of a contract by volunteers? So, nothing can be enacted/fulfilled from a contract with someone registered with that system until the deal has been reviewed. Or even just a service that someone can use to double-check something.

I get countless emails/calls from clients checking whether the domain registration letter they've got is legit. They're smart people but they're not familiar with domains. I'd hate to think of how many people fall for those things.
It is - or at least, ought to be in any civilised country - impossible to enter into a legally binding contract with someone who is not capable of providing informed consent.

That includes minors, and people of limited mental faculty.

To describe what's going on here (theft from the mentally retarded) as a market transaction is like describing a mugging in market terms. The fact that something was exchanged (my wallet in exchange for my life) does not make the exchange a market transaction.

Excellent comment and similar to a thought I had while reading this. Sure, in this case there are legitimate competency questions that make us wonder if the individuals in question should even be allowed to enter into a contract of this nature.

But it's not that hard to imagine Access Funding making similar deals with other owners of structured settlements. Can a man who was hit by a car and lost the use of his leg sell his settlement at a drastic discount like we see here? How big a discount is too big?

I suppose this is why some states have usury laws. Above a certain interest rate the state decides that willingness to take the loan is, in and of itself, evidence of lack of competency.
It does have to do with the story. Part of the article discusses Freddie Gray, who is inextricably linked with the recent stories of police shooting black men. Baltimore is also quite famous for its racial problems.

It's a surreal place to visit: you can go from the shiny Inner Harbor full of white hipsters and convention-goers shopping at the flagship Under Armour store to an area that looks like it suffered a recent civil war -- roofs collapsing, infrastructure crumbling, sudden change in what stores are open and whether they have bars on the windows -- in about 20 minutes. If you're me, someone will be kind enough to tell you that someone got shot at this bus stop last week (implication: maybe you'd better turn around). Poverty and lead paint in Baltimore are deeply entwined with (though not at all synonymous with) race.

That's something I have been wondering about for a long time. Wouldn't pure libertarianism require a huge justice system and give a lot of power to courts? In absence of regulation every dispute would have to go to court.

For most hardware startups their first time, who cares if they're using aluminum tooling? They're going to learn from their first iteration while staying solvent, and they'll never hit enough volume to worry about the tool life.

I don't know what rotoshilling is but manage to produce hardware anyway. A problem I see is that first-timers think they have to act like the big boys, and the big boys design complex assemblies and go to China. (I wouldn't unless you have the money to either make an expensive mistake, or to hire someone with experience.)
Yeah, this is a really good point. Short of altering the gene pool (haha), what can we actually do about it "as a society"? I refuse to accept that we just have to tolerate this, but any solution I come up with to prevent it feels like it isn't much better than the problem ..

If I may quote:
"No, he's saying that employees using public forums to call other employees (including former employees) "batshit insane" are not welcome within Mozilla."

> But nice and elaborate strawman that you've set up there.

No, a thought experiment. For those who figured they could come up with a neutral principle, I presented another situation to apply those principles to. The general reaction was "well, that's different because of the beliefs of the employee." Which is what I was getting at all along: if you work for Mozilla you either toe the line with Mozilla's ideology or at the very least better keep your opinions to yourself, even anonymously on a dusty corner of an Internet message board. If not, the CEO will denounce you in the media, attempt to find out your identity, and if he succeeds, fire you. Brendan Eich wasn't a one-off; he was a model for the future.

Now it seems a lot of people are fine with that. And that, in turn, is fine! I'm happy for you: you have a major browser which is only for people of your political persuasion, which is not something everyone gets to say. Those who don't care about the ideology of the engineers who write their applications may be less happy, but I suppose that's our problem.

I think it's good to remind people that if we really don't approve of a behavior or crime, we should seek to reconcile the crime accordingly here and now, and not write it off with a passing phrase (it's a phrase, not meant literally), or with possible religious connotations (kind of mean it literally)

Part of the settlement would include a requirement that any change of benefit payments be approved only after a court review of the proposed change and an order to that effect. I think this would greatly reduce this kind of exploitation.

I think the "Coding > Configuration" is quite insightful. Admittedly I like writing code (which is a useful trait as a programmer...). There are some advantages to using libraries and frameworks:

- You don't have to write the code (obviously)

- Popular packages are likely to be free of the more obvious bugs since many people have already used it.

- If you have a common problem, someone probably has a ready made solution on StackOverflow

- You can hire people who already know the library/framework so training time is reduced.

- You can often avoid learning anything about how the library works and only pay attention to the API (saving learning time). Probably more importantly, there are some things you should not write yourself because you are almost guaranteed to get it wrong the first few times(dates and timezones, encryption, etc, etc).

But there are advantages to writing your own too:

- Because you only have to solve your problem and not the problems of 2 million other users, your solution can often be an order of magnitude smaller. Less code, less bugs, more flexibility.

- The solution can be tailored to your problem exactly. Often you need to work around design decisions made in the original library (this is especially true of frameworks). These work arounds tend to breed other work arounds as each one creates undesirable code. Sometimes the use of a library that is close, but not quite what you want results in so much disruption to your design that you would have written less code had you not used the library.

- You don't have to deal with political problems with people you have never met. Often maintainers make strange decisions which they refuse change, leaving you out in the cold. You often have nothing but a passing relationship (at best) with the maintainer, so it is often next to impossible (and incredibly time consuming) to negotiate design choices, bug fixes, etc going forward. This is especially true if package X depends on package Y, but the maintainer of package Y has significant personality disorders. Trying to track down all the dependencies of package X and identifying possible risks can be quite difficult.

- Being forced to know how everything works can often bring significant benefits down the road. This is especially true for security issues.

Clearly I don't avoid libraries and frameworks entirely. That's cutting off your nose to spite your face. However, when evaluating libraries, I usually favour writing my own unless there is a popular, well supported library that does exactly what I want and very little more. Or if it is one of those things that you should not write yourself because you will certainly get it wrong.
