Enigma|NYC

Enigma is a past TechCrunch Disrupt NYC Battlefield Startup Winner. We just raised a successful Series B Round and planning to rapidly grow this year. We started from the realization that there is an enormous quantity of hidden knowledge locked away in data silos and obscure formats, just waiting to be released. We are building data discovery and analytics tools that make it simple for organizations to liberate their own private data, and for the wider community to explore and build upon Enigma’s own integrated public data platform. We believe data can reveal tremendous things about the world and that it will continue to transform it in the years and decades to come.
Beyond our core Web App (http://enigma.io/publicdata/) we are building revolutionary tools that we hope will make a significant impact in the the enterprise. We are roughly 40 people and moving to a brand new cutting edge space in the Flatiron neighborhood in NYC.

We're hiring for Software Engineers, Data Engineers and more:http://enigma.io/careers/ If interested, feel free to shoot me a message: lee.gutman@enigma.io

> Fortuna rejects entropy estimation, and tries to build a CSPRNG that is secure without needing estimates

What really annoys me is that a Fortuna-based CSPRNG was contributed to Linux eleven years ago this month, but died on the vine, IIRC because the Linux kernel team were so fond of the entropy-estimation approach.
Any idea why it's no longer in use? The memory argument against vtables seems spurious - I'm using vtables everywhere for my in-progress Ruby compiler (with the intent of allowing an arbitrary cut-off on the vtables and spilling the excess messages into hash tables at some point), and as far as I've seen, it takes some pretty pathological cases (e.g. an app with an unusually huge amount of classes and methods that consists of little actual code, yet relatively small number of actual object instances allocated) before the memory waste for sparse vtables start becoming anything remotely significant relative to an applications other memory usage or code size.

My question to the intellectual's here with the below sentence is
"He pointed to the gay rights protesters gathered on the courthouse lawn and said: "They want us to accept their beliefs and their ways. But they won't accept our beliefs and our ways."

Should the law win here or belief. I am not able to express but something tells me the law should take its course because end of the day the public servents should serve irrespective of how they are elected by people or selected by interview. Otherwise this nonsense can go to levels of we wont serve we serve non-veg because we beleive that is bad, something similar tot those lines...

I agree that she's in an impossible position, with the Junta on one side and Buddhist extremists on the other, but her extreme popularity makes her uniquely capable of speaking up on behalf of the Rohingya.

Also, she seems to be constructing her party along an authoritarian model. I was a supporter of her while under detention, but today I just don't know. I very sincerely hope she lives up to her rhetoric once in power.
I feel like you might be ignoring the possible benefits of "waiting for inspiration" on some things. Usually, when I'm procrastinating, I'm just waiting for a time when I would enjoy the work. Without that, I often don't enjoy it.

Oftentimes I'll get out of bed with an unbearable drive to accomplish a single task that I've been putting off. And when this happens, I usually feel that I am more creative, dedicated, and much faster working. When you put that together, if you are trying to maximize work speed and creativity (ignoring deadlines), this kind of procrastination is optimal.

But ignoring deadlines to maximize speed and creativity is basically a way of maximizing personal fulfillment in the work. It certainly isn't maximizing any external factors.

Not sure what I said that got me a down vote, but just on the off chance it is because I used the word "Cuban" and someone thought I was being racial... The article was authored by Mavericks owner Mark Cuban.

Maybe it was something else I said, just not sure what.
Personally, I'm wary of new shows, however highly lauded they are, because I've seen great potential squandered too often between the conflicting demands of having season finales be both a proper ending (because the show might not have another season) and leave room for the next season to meaningfully continue.

In addition to what others have said. I'll add that some environments (Tablet, Phone, Watch, Set Top Box) are more restrictive than others (try porting a cpp app to Android sometime). Also, some systems might be missing some required libraries or have incompatible versions of those libraries (try porting a cpp app to Android some time).

Contrast that to just loading up a page on a browser.

Have you ever wondered if Prop 13 might have been a cause of Silicon Valley's triumph as a tech hub? People always throw out the "despite" argument when "because of" may be more accurate.
It does not. It requires only that they have an unbounded supply of money. The price of an asset can be bid up indefinitely as long as there are at least two traders with unlimited access to money.

Are You a Human | http://areyouahuman.com | ONSITE strongly preferred | Detroit, MI USA

Looking for Data Scientists, Front-End and Back-End Engineers

We’re dedicated to making the digital world better for real humans. Automated programs, called bots, account for 61% of overall internet traffic today — and as the world becomes more digital, this will only increase. Ultimately, bots make it more difficult for real humans to get what they need from the Internet, and more difficult for companies who serve humans to provide high quality content and services cost-effectively. We find and verify humans by analyzing natural user behavior across millions of websites.

All humans interested in joining the team, please visit http://areyouahuman.com/careers to apply.

--------------------------------

I work here as a data scientist, and the central task of verifying humans opens up a fun bag of machine learning and engineering challenges. It's also an amicable, smart group of humans to work with.
Do'ah. Valid criticism. We generated the pie charts from Google Forms (where we had the survey), but we didn't like they way they displayed the results (they were out of order). We should have added the color legend to our sorted results. I will add that later tonight after work. Apologies.
That would be a waste of a good brand name.

What's your url?
No I don't.

As many have pointed out in this thread, the world is full of entrepreneurs who come from very little and make it happen.

To me saying "I have nothing" is just an excuse. Particularly in the US. If you want to make something happen, you can, it will not be handed to you, but you can.

What these studies never look at (because it is virtually impossible) are the massive numbers of businesses that start from "wealth" and fail miserably. I know people who were handed money and had no worries about failing. And, guess what, most of them fail. Why? Frankly, I don't know the exact mechanism. It has to be similar to folks who win the lottery and proceed to implode within a year or two. Or how about actors who make millions to shoot a movie in a few weeks and the best they can do with their lives in between movies is stuff drugs and alcohol into their bodies?

Nah, money may be a factor for some, but if someone doesn't truly want to be an entrepreneur you can throw millions at them and they'll just blow it.

Some of my favorite TV shows are "Kitchen Nightmares" with Gordon Ramsay, "The Profit" with Marcus Lemonis, "Make me a Millionaire Inventor" with George Zaidan and Deanne Bell and, of course, "Shark Tank".

I actually use them as teaching opportunities for my kids. We record episodes, watch them together and have discussions over dinner. The kids are good enough now that they can identify problems and patterns right away. Now we pause episodes and have discussions prior to the conclusions being revealed. The kids are getting a "virtual MBA" before they finish high school, which is great.

A common thread in a number of these shows are people who either inherit their businesses (lots of that in the restaurant show or The Profit) and proceed to run it into the ground. Almost nothing could be a stronger demonstration that money isn't a success factor in entrepreneurship than to see someone quite literally being HANDED a FULL WORKING BUSINESS only to proceed to destroy it. Why? Lack of focus, grit, drive, etc. All the qualities I mentioned in my prior post. I've seen shows where people end-up hundreds of dollars in debt because they simply had no engagement until someone from the outside slapped the shit out of them in a figurative way and got them to actually work on the business.

Money is just another tool, like 3D printer or a laptop. Millions of people have very expensive laptops. Most, from an entrepreneurial perspective, utterly waste them on Facebook and playing games. At the other end of the scale, a true entrepreneur with grit and determination can grab a second hand piece of shit PC, load Linux into it, use a bunch of free tools, learn to code and make something happen.

Entrepreneurship isn't about money.
