> I think because they play very nicely with legacy software, without needing any modifications. i.e the demo has unmodified, off-the-shelf versions of nginx, mysql and php.

That's a good argument but seems to be one for rump being the past's future (unikernel-ifying legacy applications) rather than for it being the future itself.
>(as well as your first paragraphs) demonstrate that this "liquidity" isn't real in the first place, and gets withdrawn if anyone tries to trade on it.

Where? I have explained that it is real. The confusion stems from thinking you can sum up the orders at each exchange. It would be like seeing the same house on three different real estate websites and then thinking you can buy three houses. They are the same house. Listed three times. The liquidity listed at the 13 different US equity exchanges is listed by the same market makers, so you can't sum it. Do you understand?

>But in an order book, orders are supposed to be firm and executable. If they aren't, the market is rigged. As it very clearly is.

How aren't they executable? No one can see your order coming. If you send a single order to NASDAQ or any other exchange it will execute. They are all executable and firm at the exchange level. Nanex seems to think you should be able to execute everything visible at all exchanges at once. You can't.

Load testing: what makes a realistic load test?
Lets say your .js files takes up 5% of your total app size after gzip compression, and minification saves you around 20%. Then you have saved around 1% bandwidth at the cost of obfuscation and more difficult debugging.
And If it's cached, witch all main-steam browsers does, you've saved around 0.01% at best. So if you pay $10,000 in bandwidth costs each month, that's $1 saved :P

The fact that these researchers focused exclusively on developers in a single ecosystem (the R language) is, in my mind, a death blow to the generalizability of their study. That is, their conclusions might be relevant to R developers, but not to open source developers in general.

We all know that different ecosystems typically have different values.

But more importantly, R developers are particularly non-representative of the more general open-source ecosystem. Based on anecdotal evidence, I believe it's highly likely that academics and people who primarily identify with non-CS fields/disciplines are over-represented in the R community when compared to other communities.

(Note: At least within the text of the paper, the researchers DON'T claim that their results generalize to all OSS developers, and don't even claim their results generalize to all R developers!)

In the same way that encryption was the 'bad guy' until it was proved the terrorists communicated via unencrypted SMS, this will become a non-story when we see they were financed via HSBC bank transfers.
Honestly the only experiment I can think of is to put the software on the market and let it compete with traditional hiring. Companies already buy a variety of HR services, and don't need to know whether the job on the other end is being done by a person or a computer. The better service will win the market in the long run.

Since companies have to file tax returns, you can effectively ban every one of them from accepting or using these currencies. That means a huge number of uses for the currencies are cut off for the average person on the street. When a currency can't be used to pay your mortgage directly, for example, its value drops.
If you need to incorporate flexibility in the environment, with agents displaying lots of different behaviors (such as with video games), the large arrays of dumb structs will be much harder to organize.

I agree that those structures are easier to make efficient, but for handling the hierarchy of different types of objects with different but related behaviors, you'll basically have to reimplement a limited form of object-orientation and message passing.
I believe the reasoning is called fear, uncertainty, and doubt.

Before they had the "pedonazis", now they have the terrorists to justify whatever they want to ban.

Since the terrorists used cars for their attacks (there was even mention of a Volkswagen Polo involvement) I propose we ban cars for our collective safety.

I wonder, did the terrorists ever used cash, a debit or credit card ? Maybe we should ban this too then.
Given how extremely traceable bitcoin payments are, I'm pretty surprised that they're not trying to get Bad People to use Bitcoin, whether publicly or behind-the-scenes.

I mean, in a way, maybe this is what this story is all about: a great big advertisement saying "Come use this completely anonymous payment system," with a sly nudge and a wink because bitcoin's nothing of the sort.

Just imagine: a plot is discovered, payment details made via bitcoin stumbled upon - and now you have a long list of every transaction those people have ever made using Bitcoin!

(for the inevitable bitcoin cult members wanting to chime in about "tumbling" or "fog" services, aka bitcoin money launderers, 1. they're still traceable and 2. there's not enough money going through them to successfully launder a four-digit amount, let alone anything greater.)
I agree, but isn't that a user-engagement / motivation issue?

World Record: Slack line at 500m above the ground
If I was going to focus on a single community I'd look at .NET - it's gone from closed to open in a big way, and I don't just mean today's announcements.

It's really quite interesting to see how it morphed over the years.
To play devil's advocate, there's certainly a limit to computer-based searches. If the computer's model (which was made by a person or persons) is under-specified, then it will produce suboptimal results. At least with a person, there is always the possibility of integrating new facts on the fly.
There's no evidence for this, they are using the attacks as an excuse.

It's like the encryption hysteria. Look at this blatant propaganda from the BBC: http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-34842854

Some choice quotes:

"They are not using the big obvious systems at all," he tells the BBC.

They were using SMS.[1]

"They are all now using the OTR [Off the Record] protocol, which offers end-to-end encryption," he says.

"The arrests that are going on now have come from a trawl through metadata"

This is actually how they found the other would-be attackers:

European media outlets are reporting that the location of a raid conducted on a suspected safe house Wednesday morning was extracted from a cellphone, apparently belonging to one of the attackers, found in the trash outside the Bataclan concert hall massacre. Le Monde reported that investigators were able to access the data on the phone, including a detailed map of the concert hall and an SMS messaging saying “we’re off; we’re starting.” Police were also able to trace the phone’s movements.

The amount of bullshit and propaganda coming out is scary.

This is the website of one of the BBC's experts, for added hilarity[2].

You're right that chirality is important and this thing isn't able to probe that. As to what I'll broadly call "sample prep", you're right again to point out how that is a critical consideration. So you're double right. Operating in NIR does give deeper penetration, which is one of the reasons to consider NIR spectroscopy in an application; I'd guess that this thing operates somewhere in the 700–900nm range, but I admittedly don't know what kind of interrogation volume that gives for a pill.

So, I'm wrong to casually dismiss opacity of the target. That stems from a bias due to a background in instrumentation (meaning, I start my thinking there). I think I'm still right though to think that instrumentation is a bigger problem than sample prep for this device, which I didn't do a good job in stating earlier.

>was ethically wrong

Debatable and depends on the choice of either deontological or consequentialist theory of ethics.
That's because bitcoin adoption is so low that it's not a threat.

Seriously:

>9.29 The money laundering risk associated with digital currencies is low, though if the use of digital currencies was to become more prevalent in the UK this risk could rise. Digital currencies are currently not a method by which terrorists raise or move money out of the UK (though they remain a viable method for doing so).
Towing a separate hull is going to incur a severe drag penalty compared to carrying the same weight onboard, and it's not going to be pulled along for free. It will reduce the ship's speed and increase fuel consumption. There will be a direct tradeoff between weight carried in the form of the barge and weight the ship could carry internally for the same performance penalty.

Plus the barge will be traveling according to the cargo ship's itinerary, not it's captain or passenger's preference, and at cargo ship speeds which are considerably slower than cruise ships. The slower speed means increased crew, food, drink servicing and entertainment costs compared to alternatives.
I've probably done it. Why is that so surprising?
Exactly. The carriers are happy to get any money at all on the Europe to Asia route, because most of their containers are moving back to Shanghai empty.
Can you be more specific? What claims are unrealistic? What do you think are good consumer applications for photo spectroscopy?
The regulations might be partly in place to protect the big players from pesky small competition? I have no way to judge that, though. But if that's the case, perhaps the regulations can be changed.

Will they also clamp down on Transferwise?

The fallacy here is, Bitcoin doesn't actually move money. It can only move ownership of money. If I want to finance terrorism, there must already be someone with e.g. $1M where I want it (in Islamic State), so that I can trade 3000 BTC with him/her.

The thing that struck me is that they are looking at what networks are available. But to date I've never worked on a single system using 10GbE or above. Of course they are out there in large numbers within specific niches.

But most people are still stuck on 1Gbps. At the same time a steadily increasing proportion of those systems have SSDs which can do 2GB/sec+ reads.
Tinkering around the edges. Why don't they clamp down on religion?
I do see what you mean but asking people to re-write all the things isn't a successful strategy to achieve mass adoption.

Being able to build your unikernel (micro)services using legacy things and then swapping out certain services for clean-slate versions seems like a much more palatable approach. This is why unikernels fit so well with the microservices approach — you only have to re-write things one piece at a time if you choose to.

This is your human anti-algorithm bias showing. When it is more subjective that doesn't mean that algorithm still cannot do a better job than human. :-) You have just assumed that it can't, because you don't know how to measure it. In other words, it's an argument from ignorance (which is not surprising - AfI is often used to justify unwarranted beliefs).

It's actually quite possible that algorithms learns the actual preferences of some person better than the person himself; for example, due to exponential discounting of future, person may make hiring decision based on immediate impression and discount other warning signals, which is going to be wrong in the long run.

That is capital gain, but I doubt you will get much in the way of capital gain if the institute you invested in is not making a profit.

In fact the opposite is quite common. Companies do an initial IPO to raise capital and then spend the next few years doing nothing but Cash Burn as they burn up all the capital raised during the IPO.

Eventually, if they fail to deliver a profit they run out of capital to burn and they go under.

The Annual Round-Up 2015
It's the tagging, the article sticks to "amenity=pub" for simplicity, but OpenStreetMap might tag a place that serves alcohol "amenity=bar", "amenity=biergarten", "amenity=nightclub" or even "amenity=restaurant".

Some of that is driven by the data model supporting arbitrary key value pairs instead of being structured, but I think there is also a tendency to try to build a convenient taxonomy that has handy mental "bundles" instead of abstracting things a little bit.

A more abstract model might call them all amenity=meeting_place and then have flags for seating, alcohol, food, a dance floor, outdoor seating, etc., and leave the finer categorization up to the end consumer of the data.
