Considering that Zerodium is a zero-day vendor (this is continuation of Vupen) the payout for the bounty will probably would bring them ten fold than what they've paid out.
This type of practice has to be regulated just like the arm trade is there shouldn't be any reason for a US company to be paying out god knows who how much money and then selling it to who ever they want considering that for all intents and purposed those zero-days would likely to be used against US targets.

The system's far less than perfect, but it does exist and is explicitly supported.
The article does not push a reason why there were differences, and the analysis is not about why, so to critique it because you have your own opinions of why is just a really terrible analysis.

Meeting the rules for inclusion that were known by all parties (and were in fact used for the first debate) should have been all that was needed for Lessig's inclusion.

This last-minute change of the rules to specifically exclude Lessig after it seemed he was going to meet the requirements is a disgrace.

Of course, gasoline cars went through similar pains in the 70's, and eventually came out better than ever. Emissions controls were really what drove electronic fuel injection [0], which was unreliable at first but far superior to carburetors today.

[0]: See motorcycles, which stuck with carburetors as long as possible, until they were forced to implement electronic fuel injection around 2005 due to tightening emissions standards.
Aaron Swartz Day and International Hackathon
Excerpt:

Confederates, on the other hand, kept things looser, perhaps in deference to a literal reading of Leviticus 19:27? Rebels also had more smooth-shaven faces, which might be explained by several factors. Facial hair became popular in the mid-1850’s, and it’s possible that the traditional South was more resistant to this trend. In addition, Abraham Lincoln was the first US President to have a beard (having, at times, a chin curtain and a goatee), and maybe clean-shavenness was a subtle protest by Confederate commanding officers.

It proposes several political/social/cultural reasons and says nothing about the difference in weather between north and south.

a lot of 3d work can be as much determined by stylistic choices and level of artist talent.. frostbyte is likely able to replicate quite a wide range oh physical phenomena and photographic artefacts much like GTA5 but it also heavily depends on the tiny tweaks made to the particular methods used and the assets fed into it to make it truely "photo realistic"

honestly these days I'd much rather play a game with good style and direction rather than perfectly repicating reality. it's impressive and will continue to get better for a while, but I like my art a little less like a photo :)

(I'm a 3d artist myself, and have to deal with the tradeoff between quality and time on a daily basis)

Welcome to modern journalism.
There isn't a very meaningful distinction between "has root access" and "can get root access at any time by pushing out a binary update that your device will automatically install".
The parent poster is talking about DPF (Diesel Particulate Filters), which remove soot from diesel exhaust and require manual cleaning and/or the regeneration process mentioned (where the soot is essentially burnt out of the catalyst).

DEF is a fluid which is injected across a catalyst in a process called SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) which is designed to remove NOx from the exhaust stream. SCR (and the use of DEF therein) replaces extensive EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation), not the use of a DPF. Catalytic reduction instead of EGR reduces the load on the DPF and increases economy, since dirty exhaust is not being recirculated and combustion is more efficient. However, they're complimentary systems, not replacements for one another.

Sam is right in saying that equity deals are more like debt. But the reason for this to happen is because the interest rate have been held at 0 for a very long time, and in an economy that has recovered well.

Because of the low interest rate in a healthy economy, every investor would be ill-advised to invest their money in safe low-yielding instruments such as treasury bonds. That is why we have seen a dramatic shift of capital from the traditionally safe rates market to higher yielding sectors, such as tech and real estate.

That is especially true since there are enough tech companies to pool investment together in somewhat diversified portfolios, which give a false impression of safety (remember the CDOs?).

The BIG question is what is going to happen when the Fed hikes the rates in the course of next year. And what will happen when the US passes a law to increase taxes on marginal gains.

It is likely that there will be a significant drain of money from the tech sector, and when the money starts to withdraw, it tends to do so in a pretty unorganised manner.

We may not be in a bubble that will burst. But we may very well be at the high point of a market cycle. The problem is not the high valuations, it is the high appetite for risky investment.
I think Wall Street is now learning away from treating Yelp as a high growth company. The question they are asking themselves is whether Yelp is reinvesting profits or if Yelp just can't be profitable.

Yelps business is a competitive one. Their main revenue generation is selling ad space to local businesses. They are a yellow pages of the internet.

User growth is slowing. I'd fear that Yelp just can't grow past any profitability issues. There is only so much money you can make from advertising.
Oh really? I haven't watched much of DS9. Perhaps I should give it another look.
Of course it is possible that there are alleles with a large positive effects on intelligence, but is very unlikely because of the complexity of human intelligence.

To use your myostatin mutation example, the increase in muscle mass does not lead to significantly faster animals as the supporting structures are not there to utilise this increased muscle. Human intelligence is an emergent trait like speed determined by the co-ordination of many sub-systems.

These sort of emergent traits are almost never positively controlled by single large positive alleles. The one major exception are systems that are under different selection in males and females (e.g. height, plume color in birds, etc). In these examples two different systems have emerged controlled by the sex of the individual, but you don’t tend to find single genes that contribute massively in a positive way towards variation within each sex.

As an aside I remember reading a paper from long ago that suggested that high intelligence was the result of the relatively absence of mutant alleles at the various intelligence loci. When you look at the effect of null mutations at these loci the effect on intelligence is very low (less than a point for most). We all carry a large number of mutant alleles so the suggestion is that those with a high intelligence just happen by chance to have a lower frequency of negative mutant alleles. The interesting thing about this hypothesis is it would suggest that high intelligence is the default and low to normal intelligence is the result of mutational load. This is defiantly something that we can explore in the future as we get whole genome data from large numbers of people.
Here's an even simpler plan: just stop doing it.
I'm quite fond of non-antialiased fonts on regular DPI monitors flipped to portrait orientation, secondary ones on machines where that means VGA output. And lacklustre TN panels on laptops. Some environments really need more forgiving technology…
Evidence that you are correct that the focus should be on state legislatures: Matt Yglesias's Vox story, "Democrats are in denial. Their party is actually in deep trouble." http://www.vox.com/2015/10/19/9565119/democrats-in-deep-trou...
Lessig didn't (just) want to overturn Citizens United, he wanted to make campaigns publicly financed. Meaning: the Government will spend your tax money to buy advertisements for politicians.

I think that's a terrible idea, and as long as Lessig is flogging it, he won't get my support.

Environment Canada, a "regulatory group"? It's a department of the Government of Canada, yo.
Maybe give balboa.io a try, it's the closest I can think of. Not just DMs but also file storage and transfer. Kind of similar UI to slack.

Also, peerio.com, but they don't have a 'channels-like' interface, so maybe not what you're looking for.
> Using p/e to value growth companies doesn't work too well. The "E" in the ratio changes too fast.

In 1934, Benjamin Graham and David Dodd published "Security Analysis" which laid out the basis of modern thinking on proper fundamental stock price, both by academics and by mutual fund managers. What you're saying completely contradicts that.

Something else is forgotten - the real price is not determined by the p/e ratio but in something even more concrete - the price/dividend ratio. Enron might be fudging their books, but nothing fudges the quarterly dividends. Price/earnings is already an abstraction of what determines the real price - the price/dividend ratio. You're talking about abstracting things yet further - it reminds me of the late 1990s when people talked about price as related to "eyeballs".

It's true that a p/e ratio is meaningless when a company is very small - before product/market fit and so forth. But P/E has forever been used to value technological growth companies. Technological growth companies are not a new thing - there were companies like Cisco in the 1990s and like Polaroid in the 1970s. High growth companies have high p/e ratios. It's already abstracted from price/dividend to price/earnings.

Then there are companies like Amazon, which are a whole other tangent off this.

How odd that you used three applications with widely despised UIs as your examples.
Maybe the problem isn't the companies or industry but the markets themselves. Going public isn't needed anymore. So why bother? Using publicly traded companies as a market radar is flawed.

Thanks lazyant. Clicktwin looks cool, I think people might find the instant deployment to s3 useful if they had a dynamic website that was falling over from high load.

You might also be able to achieve a similar sort of backup with Cloudflare.
It seems you aren't diffentiating between the narrative structure versus the narrative themes.

Structurally, yeah, obviously they're very different.

However, thematically, they share a lot of similarities.

In The Drumhead, Starfleet begins a witchhunt to track down a suspected spy they believe is working with the Romulans.

Into Darkness involves a group of people who attempt to manufacture a war with the Klingons, whom they perceive as a fundamental threat to the Federation.

Both examine racism, fear, and xenophobia in the context of the Star Trek universe, and the lengths people will go to if they feel they're morally justified based on those perceived fears.

Very true - regulation undeniably accelerates technological advancement for emissions technology ... I think that the key is just striking the right balance. I was just trying to express that in the case of Diesels, the EPA may have done too much too fast.

As an aside, even when the technology matures and goes from "sucks"->"unquestionably better", all of this is not without cost. New car prices have significantly outpaced inflation in the past few decades. For instance, 50 years ago the base model mustang would have cost ~$18k in today's dollars, and the 2015 base model mustang is ~$24k. To many people a forced 33% increase in the cost of a base model vehicle is not trivial -- this is something that disproportionately effects low-income folks. Since the USA is so spread out, in many areas where population density is low it's basically impossible to get by without a car. (I chose the Mustang because somebody else already did the legwork - source: http://fortune.com/2014/10/17/ford-mustang-cost/ )

In my home state of Michigan, we don't have mandatory emissions testing, which I personally see as a good thing. Cars don't last much longer than ~15, maybe 20 years here anyway due to the extensive use of salt on the roads during the winter, so they get replaced quickly enough with newer/better/cleaner models by virtue of the fact that they rust away. I see a lot of people with cars who couldn't afford it if they weren't allowed to drive beaters. As you may have guessed from my post on shopping for tractors, I happen to live in an area where public transport isn't practical for much of the suburban/metro area (Grand Rapids/Holland), although we do have it (to some extent) in the more densely populated sections of town.

Interestingly, with the revitalization of downtown that's been happening around here, many poor people are being pushed into areas where public transportation is either inadequate, not available, or completely and totally unfeasible (if the houses are 200-500+ feet apart, or the small town has a population of 1,000, it just doesn't make sense).
Yeah, they got really good. For the rest - two pictures on the left are from the game engine and two pictures on the right are photographs.
Yea not saying I buy that argument either, the compatibility/conversion layers that exist for nosh could probably be built for launchd, so I wouldn't consider those significant advantages. I also wouldn't consider launchd being deployed on OSX that much of an advantage either given that it seems large parts had to be rebuilt to use the BSD kernel interfaces rather than the darwin ones. Maybe that it's already got configurations for a bunch of services for things from Homebrew/MacPorts/Fink, but they would still need to be reviewed for any broken paths and things from OSX that aren't on BSD.
