Hi, one of the authors here. Indeed, resumable uploads are not a thing we invented. Nevertheless, we think it's handy to have a document describing the approach and client and server implementations. Amazon, Dropbox and Google offer some in the way of describing how they do it, but nothing to address the problems that wider audience could encounter, and no platform for collaboration to make it better. tus was built under MIT and on GitHub and will continue to evolve through contributions from the community (although we consider that what we cemented into 1.0.0 ready for adoption)

If it approached feasible gradually and visibly enough, and secure alternatives for verifiable digital signatures existed, the network wouldn't necessarily be destroyed. We could see a gradual migration to addresses of the new form, while lost coins would eventually become retrievable.
"Jupiter showers its moon Europa with enough radiation to kill a human in just a few days."

Of course you'll freeze in a matter of minutes. Or suffocate in a matter of seconds. Also, there's like nothing to eat.

Point is, probably the only place where you could built a viable habitation unit is below the ice anyway, where radiation is a bit less of a concern. And in any case, in space you have to protect against so many things that radiation may not add a lot of marginal complexity.

hoard food, cash, and precious metal and bitcoin.

If something were to happen I think food and survival gear would be more useful then cash, precious metal and bitcoin...

Also CEO is in fear of currency crash, is the cash in another currency? And it's weird to think that in a crazy melt down their employees would care about getting paid versus survival?
This describes the one of the first places I worked at. It started as small contract manufacturing house before becoming a significant player in this space. However, one thing is clear, the amount of manual work involve does reduce the consistency of getting good results, ie the amount of solder paste squeeged onto PCB is not controlled, the placement of the components are also not well controlled etc.

However in the maker space, this option is great! Fantastic for getting a small production run out the door!
That was already in Vista, if I remember correctly.
Why do you think that they won't intercept HTTPS traffic? They will just instruct user to install their root certificate. It must be illegal for them to interfere with traffic, no matter what this traffic is. Otherwise there's nothing that would stop them.
It depends how cost sensitive you are. If you have an extra hour a month to mix the ingredients you can mix your own healthier version for half the cost. Definitely a tradeoff worth making for some people.
It would be if Symbian already didn't had most of those features.
Hi, one of the authors here. It would, but traffic shaping is not part of the protocol itself and by default tus will saturate available connections.

That said we're writing down some recommendations in a separate 'developer guide' document that offers best practices for implementing and deploying tus, traffic shaping could be part of it. Feel free to weigh in here https://github.com/tus/tus-resumable-upload-protocol/pull/68
Following your link led me to discover your https://github.com/voltagex/minecraft-rebridge, which looks very cool.

Post apocalypse I think we're going to be down to mail-order rather than that we'll use the internet, unless those carrier pigeons will be used to implement tcp/ip as well. I'm half tempted to figure out what the amount of gold is that a carrier pigeon could carry. Storing $10M in cash would guard against a short duration (3 months?) collapse of the banking system, storing it in gold is to guard against something of a completely different order.

I sort of agree. Clearly they have some good technical folks. But based on the numbers and the Starbucks deal their management appear to have limited experience in strategy and how to build business cases. So even though the "team" on paper might be good they haven't been able to prove themselves yet.

This isn't helped by having a founder who seems to split his time equally with another large and basically unproven business (Twitter) when you are looking from a financial perspective.

My read on the situation is that the private equity funding options are all exhausted and the company's last option is to IPO otherwise they are a dead duck. That's not a very compelling sales pitch.

I'll bet the share price falls a lot further once they are listed. Perhaps at that time it will present a good buying opportunity if one wants to speculate on the team coming up with the next big thing, but that will be a race against the clock before their bank account runs dry.
Right, I have no idea why it makes sense for an online retailer of non-essential goods to be making that particular hedge.

There might be an argument for nuclear power stations and similar critical infrastructure companies to have such a stockpile, although even there (a) the military would probably step in, and (b) it's likely that Bouillon would be a more useful thing to stockpile than Bullion.
In the event of a banking crisis gold has no value because you can do pretty much nothing with it and it's difficult if not impossible to exchange in any meaningful denomination in most situations of a modern economy.

Gold has value because of tradition and scarcity, the available supply cannot be diluted. If shit hits the wall with banks it isn't going to be gold that is scarce, it is liquidity.

A quick survey of the SOMA neighborhood cafes in SF suggests that about half are using some other competitor. The most popular one I see is called Reveal, I think. Your analysis relies too much on cycnicism, IMO.
This seems like an odd way to think about the problem to me.

Housing is, to a first order approximation, the only thing I spend money on.

Savings are framed in terms of 'how long could I afford the rent', or 'how long before I could pay off a mortgage'.

Everything else is.. well, fluff. I would be happy to read books for a lifetime, I don't need 'fancy' food, but a stable home is pretty important to me.

A 1 bedroom apartment with a reasonable commute to my job costs £10000pa as a lower bound. Add on the UK's equivalent of property tax and you're at 11000.

Food? 1-2K. Gas, electricity, water, internet, cell phone? 1K, maybe 1.5K. So a combined upper bound of 3500.

The only place in which those costs would get to 100% of housing would be in a depressed economic area. One in which most would struggle to find a job that paid much more than minimum wage.

So the argument should be flipped, I think. Income inequality only actually matters at all because people have to buy housing. If everyone had a stable home then it would matter far less that other people could afford more toys. It's an issue because having a stable base is such a useful thing - without that problem, I don't think it matters that some are rich and some are poor, not really anyway.
How About 30-use Free Trials Instead of 30-days?
Hi, one of the authors here. You are the first one to request it, I've documented that here https://github.com/tus/tus-resumable-upload-protocol/issues/....

None of the current core members have experience running Java servers in the real world so it's hard to see what would be involved. We're definitely open to discussing it in the issue if you like.

I think they have the Bouillon angle covered:

"Byrne said the company maintains a 30-day supply of food, and has a distribution system to pay and feed employees in case the banking and payments systems collapse."
That lawsuit isn't about lowering the transaction rate, it's about collusion between credit companies to keep their rates in line with each other.

First hand, I've seen a small ecommerce shop have rates lowered a 1/4 percent doing less than $1m/y.

Second hand, Costco, who in the US and Canada just switch from AmEx to Visa as their accepted card, went through long negotiations that resulted in booting Amex for not matching the discounted rates Visa was willing to offer.
I don't think you should do anything different than a person following any other religion, or no religion at all. And for those people blaming all Muslims, again, do the same the vast majority of the people do: Ignore them, carry on with your life.

Random bullshit app spamming HN
Most developers are not aware of that and write code, that just bombs out for the user. The user would prefer at least garbled text instead of exception, because he is used to that anyway in other apps. He has at least some result, instead of stack trace.

Well, and that's before the user tries to redirect stdout to file, in which case it will end up with error too, because that is going to be 7-bit ascii.

Anyway, Python3 does the right thing with defining the encoding at the edges and everything works right for the user out of the box.

I'm curious what others thoughts are on the choices one is confronted with when mental illness or significant distress surfaces. Psychotherapy, medication or informal help? If psychotherapy, which therapist? What algorithm for making this decision do you use?

In my own experiences the rough sketch of ideal characteristics mentioned match up with whom I have found helpful. Practically, I've found the issue a nuanced one; I've had times where I was focused so much on finding a great therapist that I overlooked ones who were "good enough", and others where I settled for someone who was not helpful at all. The balance is elusive, and that no objective criteria is helpful in evaluating a therapist made a difficult choice more difficult still.

What I've learned is that word of mouth recommendations may be most helpful, as the pattern of effective therapists is surprisingly consistent across clients (although by no means perfect). Of course this method may be hampered by the general public silence on the subject and the stigma that still exists in some quarters - which is very much alive and kicking in my circles.
Thanks for putting this out there though. It was valuable to read and learn from this since I will probably end up implementing similar things in the future. It definitely seems like a valuable thing to post experimentation like this.
Really good comment. I would also add that even if you are a developer now that does not limit your college option to just CS. You can pick an other major so that you are diversified in skills.

Perhaps, long nipples work for gay therapy.

Living as an American in Kenya give me a lot of perspective to what the logical endpoint is if certain government practices get put on steroids, such as this.

While in the United States it sounds alarmist to think of this all as a system of organized, police-mandated shakedowns, that's very common here. In 4 out of 5 times I hear folks get pulled over by cops, the driver had to pay a bribe. Police regularly go to businesses demanding regular payments else they shut down the companies.

I wouldn't have give this a second thought before, but after living here, I see what its like living under degraded institutions.
This crucially depends on a 70ton (LEO) launcher and it's no guarantee SLS will get off the ground. It's also uncertain if private actors manage to put together reliable heavy launchers, even by 2020-2025.

This is also only a lander and not a rover, but any lander will be valuable, mobile or not. Obviously, Europa has only 35% of Mars' gravity, so a wheeled rover may not even work in those conditions, including the rugged and difficult surface to traverse.

Commercial services for making PC boards are so competitive [1] that making them yourself is rarely worth the trouble. The standard photochemical process is quite good, better than any of the do-it-yourself processes. (In Shentzen, you can get 4-hour turnaround at no extra charge.) Machines for milling one-off boards have been around for decades, but they've never been used much.

Small-scale solder paste printing and pick and place is more useful. Those are hard to do by hand, expensive to get done for one-offs, and solder paste/place/reflow all have to be done in close sequence. Reflow ovens are easy; toaster ovens with special temperature controllers are often used.

We just went through a global banking crisis, the largest in history. Gold did not lack value during that time as you're claiming. That by itself proves your position wrong. Then you contradict yourself by saying that gold is valuable because of scarcity (true), and then you say that gold won't be scarce if shit hits the wall - shit hit the wall in 2007-2009, gold remained valuable and scarce.

Will be Interesting to see if this pattern has an effect of pushing tech companies to IPO sooner.

Is this behavior being replicated cross sector? It seems commonplace for a tech company to write down a valuation of a purchased company (eg every company MS has ever bought), I don't hear about it in health, finance, retail, etc sectors.

>I don't see how temporary alliances with a secular regime indicate lack of true religious conviction.

Group C that claims to be defenders of group A against group B, secretly allies itself with B against A. How does that not indicate lack of religious conviction. The general narrative of ISIS, is that they are the most strictest in adherence to medieval Islam. But to me it looks that they are the most flexible in their adherence in favour of tactical pragmatism.

>"staunch the flow of true believers to their ranks."

What makes you think that the majority of followers of ISIS is attracting are true believers?

According to the Sun (admittedly less reliable source; make of it what you will) Jihadi John was into drugs, and alcohol. By other accounts he was rebellious, socially isolated, and on the wayward side of society.

Most of the people recruited seem to follow a pattern of rebelliousness, impulsiveness, poor decisions (frequently involving drugs, jailtime, etc.), rather than sever religiosity through years of attending madrasas. In the west people of a similar disposition might find themselves joining gangs, or in a downward spiral of hard drugs, or making other poor decisions. The ones with the most severe prognosis might end up as school shooters, or doing hard time. ISIS has set itself as a cult to attract such people and has given them a cause.

Quote from former AQ member turned informant :
http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-31700894
"There is no single process of radicalisation. Some people, it took them years to be convinced of coming to the jihad and some people it took them minutes. Some people were studying in religious seminaries - they're a minority by the way - and then decided to come and some people basically just came straight out of a night club you know while he was consuming alcohol basically to come and seek redemption there in the jihadist world.
So you know you see immediately that you know there isn't one single classical journey there, that there are so many journeys."

There are many scattered reports of defections by disillusioned members, but we won't probably know the real truth until after the conflict. Of course, one doesn't simply cash in their last paycheck and walk away from such an organisation, so even if there were mass defections it would be in secret because of fear for safety of them and their families.
