Thanks for the comment! Currently we don't have a way to cc FWD:Everyone on a thread for the purposes of making it public. It is in the pipeline though!

One of the reasons we do it through the gmail api is because if we accepted plain text emails through the typical forward process, the messages can be edited. On FWD:Everyone, you can make redactions, highlight text, and omit entire messages, but you cannot change what the messages say.

We think authenticity is vital to the site, and if you'd like to revoke access to your gmail inbox, Google provides a novel way to do so here:

One could argue the English could have held a grudge against their subjugators in the manifestation of the Normans who took all the English lands and made it their own as well as foisted their new-to-them old French influenced Norman language. They could have held that grudge but they didn't. They subjugated and were coöpted by the Normans and then forming this new hybrid identity went on to become one of the greatest empires on Earth. Had they gone with the precursors and the likes of Winstanley I'm not certain they'd have accomplished so much and the English the Anglosphere begot by said empire would not exist today nor the world we enjoy today.

The world would be much more fragmented, if not more Frankish and perhaps Spanish.
I went ahead and created a Makefile:

CXXFLAGS := -g -std=c++11 -Wall -O3 -march=native -Wno-sign-compare
OBJS := highway_tree_hash.o \

MAIN := sip_hash_main
all: $(OBJS)
$(CXX) $(CXXFLAGS) $(OBJS) $(MAIN).cc -o $(MAIN)
clean:
rm -f $(OBJS) $(MAIN)

Then I commented out two lines in "sip_hash_main.cc":

// #include "smhasher.h"
// RunAllTests(argc, argv);

Then "make" and run:

the hopper language (the version used in this repo is an earlier snapshot of work from this fall that essentially a minimal scheme / lambda calculus with program level transactional memory) provides mechanisms for first class ownership. Current hopper master is under a huge amount of churn towards the full language we're building, so unless you enjoy reading compiler code bases under heavy active dev, the best i can say is this: stay tuned :)

linear logic provides a nice vehicle for modelling first class ownership. namely: holding a value in a program IS owning it. That plus a lot of ideas from languages/tools like Agda, Coq, Lean, and Idris along with some of what i've learned being an occasional contributor to GHC, plus general PL tech, are going into Hopper, though the current code base

​Three Concepts You Need to Grasp If You Want to Know Whether to Legalize Drugs
They could accomplish this by using some color that is readable, such as red or purple. That would give a huge visual indicator so that you'd know you are dealing with a dead comment.

Remember, people who do not want to read any dead comments will have left "showdead" in its default state of "off", and so won't see these at all. The only people who see dead comments are those who explicitly said they want to see them.

A better question is: why isn't that network flood tripping all of your monitoring services? :). I'll let the folks who focused on the replication code base address that more

I'm currently focused on the language engineering side (though i was part of the early distributed replication effort, when we ported a verified raft code base to haskell, see https://github.com/cartazio/haver-raft . We ultimately didn't use that code base for a variety of reasons relating to how that verified alg was structured, but all the initial commits should be syntactically equivalent to the coq code in verdi raft, and all the follow on commits should be strictly syntactic transformations. https://github.com/uwplse/verdi is the associated coq development )
midipix is a very interesting project.
How do you know Vanguard disagrees with me when I haven't even stated a position. I'm posing a loaded question hoping that someone can make an intelligent and factual argument as to why the sanctioned behavior that the SEC believes is illegal does or does not in fact cause any harm to retail investors. The Nanex commenter does that pretty well, and I think frames the proper issue (if we care about the "morality" of this) as not having to do with HFT at all. If we accept this, it means that my earlier comments here were irrelevant to the topic, as are yours and the comments by other HFT defenders in this thread.

Interesting thoughts. I think one of the draws of email for us is that it is an open technology. The other platforms for communication are great too, we just think that part of emails staying power is the result of it having open protocols.

We also think a lot of really great things get talked about over email that aren't inherently private. Conversations that showcase deep knowledge and understanding through the lens of relationships. For us, that's the magic.

Say what you want about LinkedIn as a product, they treat their employees really well. When I interviewed there a few years ago, their interview process was extremely supportive, as opposed to other companies. It really felt like they wanted you to pass their interview, and it impressed me. I didn't take their offer, but I also wonder if that was a mistake or not.

I find it surprising that they can treat their employees so well considering their revenue per employee is relatively low, ~$300,000 if I remember correctly. Regardless, Weiner's behavior does mesh with the feelings I had from the company in general.

And it's far bigger work, with far bigger implications and potential unintended consequences. Telling America to just get off of its collective fat asses and walk around more than once in awhile would do more than an infusion into Medicare, but Medicare money isn't nothing for the people who need it.

Ideally, the CEO could/would do more. But just passing it off as a symbolic gesture raises the question: well, if it's so symbolic -- and thus, of no real sacrifice to the CEO, then why don't all the other rich (and far richer) CEOs do it, such that this CEO's offering doesn't make news?
The reason is people take it as given if you mess yourself up the rest of us will have to pay for your treatment. If I have to pay for your mistakes, then I want some say in what you're doing.

Personally, I'd rather live in a more libertarian society, where you could do whatever you want (to yourself) and accept the consequences. But that's not the society we live in.

Modern cables don't have high voltage to worry about. The signals are amplified optically:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_amplifier#Doped_fiber_...

It isn't necessary to bend a fiber either. Optical fibers can be tapped via evanescent wave coupling. The fiber cores just need to be near enough to each other over a long enough span, possibly with some removal of the outer cladding.

Notable patents:

"There is a need for coupling light into and from an optical transmission line without interrupting the flow of transmission. Such lines may be used for communications, as well as other purposes.[1]"

Oversimplification, forgetting the laws of geometry and physics.

The triangle inequality and relativity conspire against the SIP. If you're getting the SIP from B, any new prices at C go to B and then forwarded to you, so it's faster (best case equal in the degenerate triangle case) to get direct feeds from B and C and consolidate locally.
It turns out that watching YouTube videos of people seeing color for the first time can turn even the shittiest of days into a good one. I just lost 30 minutes down the rabbit hole. Interesting that it's not just color that I take for granted every day, but the fact that the world appears so sharp.

sooo... "wget -O - .... | grep ..." ?
Thanks! With respect to just forwarding the thread, that was the original idea. The reason we've moved away from that though is, counterintuitively, for security reasons.

Basically we wanted to make posting email double opt-in, so that you can't publish emails from other people without their permission. The problem is that without OAuth you would be able to change the text of the conversations, and also who the messages were coming from. So although we could still have a permission mechanism, it wouldn't really be enforceable. And worse, anyone getting a permission request would have to reread the entire thread to figure out whether the uploader had changed the text of the conversation.

When we build a Gmail plugin we might be able to get around Oauth if we're able to forward each message in the thread, since I think we'd be able to verify the authenticity of the messages with DKIM. I haven't fully looked into this yet.

For now what you can do is make multiple gmail addresses and/or revoke the oauth access after each time you use the service. (We do this with our own accounts dozens of times per day while testing the site, and it hasn't caused any issues.) I think also a lot of people in the tech community are more comfortable authing their work email accounts than their personal email accounts, so we're not necessary counting on seeing a huge wave of adoption until we have the organization features in a couple months.

With respect to not including certain messages, that's a feature we currently have with Oauth. You can redact any text within the message bodies, which then isn't stored in our database. And you can also exclude messages entirely from the thread, and again the text of those messages isn't stored in our database either.

We're going to add more fine-grained privacy settings in the future so that way you can white list certain people and organizations and whatever. But for launch we wanted to keep everything super simple, and make sure your first experience with the site isn't getting doxxed by your friends or whatever even if that means not getting any super viral content on day one.
Just as a heads up as you're new here, accusing someone of shilling is a pretty big no no.

Full disclosure, I have in fact worked with your data and at an HFT in the past but have moved out of the industry, if you were going to ask.

That's also true. There's undoubtedly both communities. I didn't mean to imply that everyone, or even a majority would be willing to give up their natural limbs, just that there does exist a population that would gladly do so.
I think this is extremely significant. As I said elsewhere in replies, the original study (or the summary brief about it linked here) gives zero insight into the design of measures they use to quantify "democracy", and leaves all of us commentators free to read different shades of meaning in the material you reference, let alone our often misinformed personal opinions. My point wasn't to revel in the pedantry of precise definitions, but "reductio ad absurdum" of the idea that anyone reading the link could take seriously the pedantic claim that democracy has been seeing "decline" without knowing what definition was under the authors' assumption. This is why social science often gets a bad rap.

That's just it. Being able to render web content in VR makes it possible for your typical web developer to use their existing skills to build content for VR. Unity and Unreal are fantastic tools and very well suited for building games, but not everything is a game.

Besides this, instant access by url with no downloads and installs, no-app store "gatekeepers" and a free and open technology stack are solid reasons for why you would want to have or use WebVR.

And while performance definetly lags behind native, I'm not sure that it's going to be that far off. WebGL 2, Web assembly, WebGL in workers, will in combination with general improvements in graphics and rendering performance will get it close.
It sounds like the field you're interested in is web annotation [1].

At first glance there seems to be pieces that could be simplified. E.g., in this image http://community.wolfram.com//c/portal/getImageAttachment?fi..., there are 2 1x1 bricks in multiple places (on the top level at the "nearest" corner, for instance) that could be replaced with a 2x1 brick. I wonder what part of the program results in this.
I'm consulting with a luxury vacation company where this is 100% on the up and up. The situation is:

* Sales person sells a luxury vacation for 20k for Jan 2017
* Consumer puts down deposit 2k
* Sales person gets commission on 20k sale
* Consumer takes vacation a year later (though sometimes this can be as much as 2 years)

If the consumer doesn't take the vacation then there's a clawback. To mitigate this the company pays out commission at 85% for sales more than 6 mo. in the future, and when the consumer makes their final deposit. then they get the remaining 15%.

This is an interesting conundrum.

I've seen it play out in space-based autonomous systems, where fundamental light-time delays limit how much autonomy you can offload to Earth versus using on-board computing on a rover (http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.php?release=2010-094).

You end up having to reason about splitting the computational burden between the remote system (having limited resources) and the cloud. Sometimes you can train in the cloud but run on the robot (e.g., upload large training sets to the cloud, and download a trained classifier to a fast runtime on the robot).

Finding the right boundary for such a split system can create a hard engineering/infrastructure problem, because simple changes in bandwidth can have huge infrastructure implications.

$1500 is certainly exciting for a lot of people! Really, if someone gave you $1500 off the street, would you be like, "is this exciting?"

I like this analogy. It would be interesting to see a similar mechanism to banner ads. I'd imagine part of the responsibility would be on the ad network and part of it would be on the publisher.

Showing a bunch of low-quality "1 weird trick ads?" the network gets flagged. Trying to squeeze too many ads onto a single page? Publisher gets flagged.

I doubt we'll see such a thing. On the other hand ad networks like the deck, carbon and yoggrt have done a good job filtering out bad ads. I generally whitelist sites with those networks.

I'm pretty ignorant here—why does coming up with a design require $20M?
short short answer that is deliberately terse:
the hopper language, once a wee bit more mature, will be a dependently type language with linear types (to model first class ownership) and a few other facilities for modelling interaction and authorization along with logical soundness as hard goals. Imagine if agda had a linear logical baby that was designed to be easily embeddable in a host application and/or standalone, and also designed with RTS and compiler improvements from the the outset. plus a few other tbd goodies to make it nice to use.

the ethereum vm doesn't have any notion of ownership or authorization built in, those are provided whole cloth by application level authors (have fun doing that correctly for every app!). I could opine more than that, but I think thats the most i should say about the quality of the stack vm specification or its semantics :)

While many of us are not "color-blind", we are all color challenged. This is because we only have three cone-types, assuming you aren't a tetrachromat.

I had a thought experiment: Suppose you breakup visible light into six bands. You then create two filters based on these bands. One filter would pass only bands 1, 3, and 5. The other filter would pass bands 2, 4, and 6.

Now suppose you put one filter over your left eye and the other filter over your right. Over time, could you learn to see the world in hexachromatic color ? Could you finally differentiate monochromatic yellow from composite red and green ?

To digress further, I previously wrote a Google Cardboard App that randomly shows a red square in only the left eye, only in the right eye, or both eyes. Surprisingly I could not answer correctly if the red square was only shown to my left vs. my right or both. I am not sure if I could learn to do this. Perhaps it is a limitation of the visual system. I was hoping to introduce a new visual effect for VR headsets but it doesn't look promising.
