That kind of company has no business taking VC money in the first place. A VC shouldn't want to invest in a company that doesn't need VC money, and I'm kind of surprised that they would want to encourage their portfolio to transition into that kind of company - such a company isn't going to be the "home run" that VCs make their money off.

Older Women's Body Image and Embodied Experience: An Exploration
Anyone who wants more of a history of WW2 crypto that extends the cast of characters beyond Turing (and the cast was significant and varied) should read "Battle of Wits" (http://www.amazon.com/dp/0743217349) the historian who wrote it wrote it after a large NSA declassification in 1996.

What's even more extreme about the Polish codebreakers, a story you would read in Battle of Wits, is that they were evacuated from Poland to France after the invasion of Poland, and then stayed in occupied France working in secret for the Allies as part of the occupation government. They posed to the occupation government as the occupation governments signals intelligence system but secretly supplied GC&CS with information they intercepted from the continent (which the Allies had a lot of trouble doing only from the UK).

They did that for years, when they tried to evacuate themselves to Spain, a few of them were captured, interrogated, and did not give up the goods about either the invasion or the secret of Enigma. If you want wartime crypto heroes you would have a hard time doing better than Jerzy Różycki, Henryk Zygalski and Marian Rejewski.

More to do with Hollywood wanting a short easy story.

Much detail about the huge operation that did not involve the Turing character directly was left out or reduced. Most in the UK who have read anything about the use of cryptography in the second world war know about the Polish contribution.

I've read most of Kahn's history of code breaking (2006 edition) which was originally written before the Bletchly Park project was publically acknowledged and I found out about the US cracking of Japanese codes using machine assistance but not what we would recognise now as an electronic computer. Kahn's book is handy for historical depth - this whole cryptography/cryptanalysis thing has been something of an arms race from the invention of radio onwards.

I had great experience with Asus service in EU. I called them up, they asked for a serial number and what was the problem, they sent UPS to pick it up (from Cyprus), a week later I had it back fixed. Considering how bad support for hardware is in this country and the fact that the service center is overseas I'd say they were one of my best after sales experiences.
Hi there,

Levi here from Mobiscroll.
UIPatterns.io is a library of interactive mobile design patterns. We are launching with 16 patterns and are adding new ones regularly. Every pattern is fully interactive and comes with ready to use solutions that you can directly plug into your app.

The whole idea came from what our customers were trying to achieve. We learned that they were looking for common solutions to design problems, so we thought to create something that is fully interactive and can help more than just users of Mobiscroll. Although these examples are driven by Mobiscroll, the patterns are relevant with any technology.

We are taking the UI patterns a step further and are hoping to help makers like designers and developers build better products with highlighting pros and cons about a particular pattern.

Let me know what you think!

EarlGrey – iOS Functional UI Testing Framework
I haven’t followed recent development of JavaScript all that closely so my knowledge is somewhat outdated. However, the optimisations that make JS performance close to C in some cases are really recent. Some of the tricks are old, such as the paper you cited. But these tricks only go so far, and in particular even modern GCs simply work badly in memory-constrained environments, which puts a hard upper limit on the amount of memory that JavaScript can handle efficiently. One of the better articles on this subject is [1].

That said, my comment already mentioned that local variable lookup isn’t a problem in JavaScript. It is in R, however; see my example in [2]. Beyond that, both R and Python execution have obvious optimisation potential, which is made hard by the fact that existing libraries rely extensively on implementation details of the current interpreters.

Input/Output rate, bandwidth and IO roundtrip delay.

* even the slowest SSDs have significantly higher I/O rates than the best mechanical drives, and the comparison between best-in-class mechanical and enterprise-class PCIe SSDs is just ridiculous: a 15K SAS drive will do 200 IOPS, a high end SSD will do a million

* 15K SAS drives will top out around 250MB/s on bulk sequential reads (that's a best-case scenario), high-end PCIe SSD are in the 2.5GB/s range

* HDDs have a latency of 10~20ms, SSDs have a latency of 100~200µs (RAM has a latency of ~100ns)
it's market segmentation, sure, but also every bit of address line that you don't use translates directly into watts wasted.

Meh, the author wants a better computer, but isn't willing to spend for it. The author runs linux, so the crapware from lenovo shouldn't matter, and the lenovo thinkpad line have excellent build quality (stay away from the ideapads). But the author complains that the cheap end of X1 town isn't retina. Sure, for the same price, a macbook air does retina, but that low-end X1 carbon has other features that the air does not have.

So by 'better PC', the author really means 'cheap PC filled with top-end gizmos and a top-end build quality'.
My understanding is that the Polish team cracked the three rotor Enigma. Turing & co extended that work to four rotor plus plug board.

The main difference is that Lyft, Uber and Airbnb sell mostly to consumers who are quite happy to make their own decision about which state regulations to bend when it's in their interest.

Zenefits sells to HR departments whose raison d'être is to make sure the company complies with its duty of care to employees, including observing all the relevant regulations. The idea one of their partners might have been using inadequately trained and unlicensed insurance brokers that didn't really know what they were doing to sell their employees expensive health insurance plans is kryptonite for that partnership.

I loved how they made it look like known plaintext cryptanalysis was some kind of breakthrough months in the process when the reality is that was the job description - the initial premise of bringing him onboard was based partially on that. KPAs date back to at least the 1800s and were at least well-documented by then, if not also well known.

But really, that lovely movie messed with the timeline all over the place. I talked with the screenwriter at the Hammer museum about it ... he said "it makes a better story" without any reservations. I had to agree.
I've been happy with the first ZBook. 1080p, SDD or spinning disks, you can add replace the DVD with another disk, up to 32 GB RAM, apparently you can replace the CPU and the NVIDIA card too. The ZBook G2 specs are even better.

The only minus on your list would be the battery. It can reach maybe 4 hours (Linux) but not more. I knew that and it's not a problem, there is always a power plug nearby where I work.

The only minus in my list was the keyboard, because it has a number pad, but the keys are excellent. It's also definitely not a 1 kg laptop and the power brick is as heavy as a brick, but I don't care much.
There should have been a crisis a few years ago but the government has chosen to keep the bubbles from popping. $1 million for a 90 sqm apartment in Beijing that rents form $1500/month is pretty frothy.

But the CPC repealed the law of gravity, so it doesn't apply to the Chinese economy. Maybe it's really different this time. But probably not. The only question now: will they inflate the currency turning all those savers into losers, or reign in credit and bad debts, choking the economy and growth. They won't be able to just hide behind growth now.

I've got 5 Western Digital drives which have failed out of original purchase of 6. Now I'm wondering if it's really worth it trying to go through the RMA process (I need to figure out exactly how old they are and how long the warranty is) or if I should just give up on Western Digital and go with a different manufacturer... though I am not looking forward to spending that amount of money all at once.

That is the problem. It is also easy to solve. Just don't have so many cards.
Words are tools for communication. A word will always be a simplification of reality (and will always have edge cases), but the best words are labels for clusters of similar things. When a word describes a group of things that really do form their own cluster then it's a good word; when it describes a group that really splits into two or more distinct groups, or describes part of a group but not other equally similar things, then it's a bard work.

In many real-world aspects I'd argue that Atlassian is more similar to the corner laundromat than it is to e.g. Snapchat. How would you evaluate them when considering making a business loan? How would you consider the prospect of working for them? How would you sell services to them? What do you think their HR plans look like? Their client relationships? Their regulatory situation?

Wherever you draw the line there will be companies that straddle it. But in my book there is a relatively clean distinction between companies that operate in a way that's sustainable in the short term and companies that operate at a high burn rate, and it is well worth reserving the term "startup" for the latter.

You must not do a lot of regression with categorical data, then. I use commands like `lm(y ~ (x1 + x2) * factor_variable, data = d)` and `xyplot(y ~ x1 | factor_1, groups = factor_2, data = d)` all the time.
This is why the "normally" in my sentence. But the point I really wanted to make is that you have no "impossible" with encryption.
They specify that the FW will be locked to the unique device's ID, so it won't be usable on any other one.

But once it's established that it can be required from Apple, Apple has to comply, and Apple effectively does comply, other judges in other cases will be able to request other FW, hard-coded against other IDs, as needed.

The middle-term solution to this is for Apple's security team to protect against this threat model, and implement encryption in such a way that _they_ can't bypass it under constraint. I'm not an Apple customer and I don't follow their products closely, but I understand that iPhones 6 already are harder to bypass than iPhones 5.

Historically low rates means people are buying up us bonds even at crap returns. If China dumped us bonds and depressed the price, it would only make the value proposition that much better for the current bond investors so they would gobble them up and push the price right back up.
Good point, we shouldn't be dogmatic but pragmatic. But there's a fallacy conveyed by seeing C idioms as the only low level ones.

Would you have let Socrates continue his teaching
after such events, after one in 20 of the people
you knew got executed by his students

well, yes, but that is because i support freedom of speech

If you consider that reasonable then perhaps we simply have a huge difference of opinion here. I would put forward that a hell of a lot of people would object to teaching an ideology after that same group committed mass murder. And by object I mean mobs would hunt them down and kill them (which is pretty much what happened).

also, if you can explain, if this even were the case, how it demonstrably leads to killing?

It obviously led to killings in that period of history of Athens. Whether this was solely the fault of the ideology, or the man is an open question that cannot ever be answered to any modern standard. In that particular piece of history, however, most people would obviously consider it true, for they just saw the ideology's adherents do it before their very eyes.

The standard you're using, innocent until proven guilty, is a standard that would only make it's first appearance in law 6 centuries after these events ... so I would say that applying such a standard here is not a reasonable judgement to make. These people worked from the principle that the majority of free men is always right. The "beyond reasonable doubt" part is more recent still, a set of legal rules that would not be used in court cases until 1800, 2200 year after this case.

Yes Socrates was convicted simply on the fact that more people shouted he was guilty than that shouted he was innocent. However this was a very high legal standard for the time that should not be looked down upon. In most places and times during history, a single ruler would simply decide on his gut feeling if the person was guilty, usually without so much as hearing the accused's version of events and extract a far crueler punishment. Socrates was given a chance to talk to the crowds and explain to them why he was not guilty. He could not convince them. That's how justice worked in Athens.

A man went to his local parish priest and asked "Father, is it permissible to smoke while praying?" "No, my son, when praying you should show the utmost respect and attention to God" he answered.
