There's nothing the least bit mathematically fallacious about the line you quote: it's just stating the results of a survey. You are critiquing something that has to occur after that point.

The very next line from the source you're quoting:

> After some more mathematical shenanigans, this is extrapolated to imply that Chinese mainlanders buy 33% of the Vancouver real estate market.

I.e. "there's more that I'm not talking about because I already think the first step is so inaccurate that it doesn't matter what's next".

Which seems more likely? (A) that the above snarkily referred to what was done in the article, or (B) that the above referred to a mathematical fallacy that is otherwise entirely absent from anything anyone here is talking about until you showed up.

Even if the top poster were saying what you suggest, how were they supposed to get 33% out of 9/77 = 11%? Your suggested error would give 11% instead.
Do you know how the operating costs for BART compare to comparable systems in the US and internationally? And how cost of new construction compares? My guess is that both costs are on the high side, but I don't know any details.

Most people, before GOG.com, would have said many of the same things about an ardently anti-DRM marketplace, whose main selling point is the same titles but without DRM.

I've heard from a lot of gamers that would love to purchase a given version of a game outright for ~$15 than to be sapped with free-to-play mechanics. For example, take a look at the feedback on the Torchlight Mobile facebook page from 2015-06-25:

I agree with the first 2 points, but the last doesn't follow. Disaster response isn't a good domain for end users to play around with different configurations to see what works. Few people are first responders, disasters rarely happen, and when they do it's no time to be experimenting with your homebrew robot.

Something that's closer to a consumer / small business task, and is tedious, common, and not critical to get right would be a better problem space to explore.

it has been said before but it bears repeating: founders would do well to have a few hundred thousand dollars of their own money. If you don't have this money, you should be making money from day one doing something else. airbnb sold cereal.

AVS doesn't deny anything. Its a status code returned on the auth. Its up to the merchant to reverse the auth if AVS data shows it doesn't match(Exact Address,Zip Code, CVV) or send the auth off for settlement. Merchant has almost no recourse if transaction is marked as fraud and the AVS doesn't match.
As someone who has a highly ambivalent attitude toward the military for very real, legitimate reasons I'd love it if you could elaborate. I myself live that way now, as in; I don't work for the military, anyone who subcontracts to the military or the homeland security, etc. And it is precisely for reasons that would push one to include a no-military-use patent on OCB. fwiw I'm not intimately familiar with the figures involved, I know who they are, read some of bernsteins code/math/writing, and no vaguely who Rogaway is (but haven't yet had a chance to read the "moral character" essay).

I think you're describing the field of [bioprocess engineering](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bioprocess_engineering). A lot of time is spent trying to balance cell growth with the possibility of mutations being introduced into the system. Even between different strains of E. coli the doubling rate can vary. Moreover, one also needs to contend with the fact that prokaryotes typically cannot produce very complex proteins. This leads some processes to need to use eukaryotes such as CHO cells, which are much slower.
That's the thing, it's about voting with your dollars so majority opinion 'wins' and most people don't consider press A to be a fun game worth paying for.

It is kind of amazing how Google let their lead in online office collaboration fizzle out. Now, Microsoft obviously is no slouch, but Google Docs was out with essentially the same feature set as it has now for nearly a decade before the online versions of Office in Office365 came out and became really useful. Now Office 365 is cleaning up in the old corporate settings where Office has always been dominant, plus racking up a lot of the education niche that Google Docs had gained a big share of.
I would argue that it isn't just Intel but all of the indsutry. They do things that seem impossible on a regular basis.
Apparently, an important part that was missing in my description is that this is a two-step process:

(1) The community (or even you alone, or some (commercial) provider) tags the source material with categories and severities of things that can be filtered.

(2) Either in the UI of the video player (if supported), or using the currently provided "transpiler", you get to choose what you want to filter and what you want to see.

Sorry for having forgotten to explain this in a prominent place!
Monument Valley takes 2-3 hours. Interesting sure, but many people would consider that a huge waste at say 20$. People used to complain when free demos where that short.

Thanks for the pointer to BADA55, I had not seen that.

Do you think it's possible for constants (selected in the way the constants for ed25519 were selected) to be backdoored ala BADA55? It seems the vulnerabilities come from using hashing algorithms on some small constant, not from the constant itself being something simply constructed.

Also, it looks like DJB did alight on PinkBikeShed originally[1] but rejected it for technical reasons. (Reasons I can't evaluate myself). Is my understanding correct that the PinkBikeShed curve has more minimal parameters than ed25519, but that it doesn't satisfy all of the security criteria that ed25519 does?

You are not going to get any aggregate stats from YC by posting here. But anecdotally, from a few YC startups I've observed (I've only seen startups run by 20-something founders, so my perception is very very skewed) lived in the office (more accurately, the office was the founders' apartment/house), so there was no distinction between work/life, and the technical founders basically coded as much as possible.
ABA/DDA are inherently less secure than online access credentials. An account can be directly debited if ABA/DDA are compromised, and they cannot be rotated without closing the account. Plaid tokenizes all this to avoid any potential issues -- and further, if credentials are somehow compromised they can be rotated very easily.
Just a guess, but maybe wtbob is getting at the fact that odd licenses are generally GPL-incompatible or otherwise awkward or ambiguous. See for example, the JSLint license https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JSLint#License
There's a difference though: If it were politically feasible, a marginally higher gas tax could fund all road construction & maintenance. People might drive a little less, but the system wouldn't go into a death spiral.

If mass transit riders had to fund the system purely through user fees, the result for most systems would be a collapse, as fewer riders would require higher prices leading to fewer riders...
From Skeptical to Satisfied: My Journey of Hiring Developers Through Andela
I think that economics will sort out the cost-of-living issues. Seattle doesn't seem to have the NIMBYism of the Bay Area, and Washington State actually requires that communities plan for growth under the state Growth Management Act. I'm not sure how this compares to California (witness the unencumbered sprawl of LA, or the inability to build anything in the Bay Area), but from what I've seen, local Washington governments are not pretending that population growth is a fantasy. Seattle's growth plan specifically mentions "directing growth to existing urban centers and villages", so I can see how the proposed Sound Transit line extensions would help facilitate urbanization.

One big reason is that with this restriction his algorithms almost certainly won't be included in any of the common security standards (FIPS 140 and NIST 800-53 are the primary ones in the US), which means that anyone who needs to follow those standards won't be able to use it.
There are definitely better options for serious competitive gamers. I have a small collection of arcade sticks and six-button fight pads, but I like messing around with new stuff too.

I can't say that I was any better using the Steam controller (not that I'm any good to start with, but that's another story), but the real story I guess is that I wasn't much worse either.

I've seen some demos where people used the accelerometer to play Street Fighter (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D0YGzURzThY) which could open up the game to some people with physical limitations. I'm a fan of anything that gets more people into playing games.

That the Steam Controller is more customizable than a lot of controllers to me is its biggest strength. And now, with the ability to 3d print mods, I think it's even better.
It depends. Pied piper did fairly well.

There is a very fiddly technical reason why PinkBikeShed is more user-friendly than Curve25519. Bernstein would say that it's a powerful security argument, but it's more of a nice- to- have than a must-have. Curve25519 won because it had an installed base.

Yea I'd agree with that. Was bummed this couldn't be set up with a credit card, and didn't bother asking after realizing it'd break their business model.

All online transactions are processed as credit - even if the card used is debit/prepaid debit - and the card issuer earns 1-3% for each transaction.
Some of this fee is rebated back to people through cashback/travel rewards cards, but I am assuming Privacy & Customer's Bank will be using it to fund their business.

Pretty cool idea! And even cooler website!! Would be interesting to see some sort of loyalty/rewards program implemented, although that doesn't really jive with your anti-marketing pitch.

I'll be sticking with my credit cards for now. They're worth a lot more than their rewards, and it's a shame so many people choose to stick with debit...

MerchantGuy.com does custom pricing. Saved us a ton over Stripe.
Totally agree, I never understood this fetish developers have with small packages. It's probably related to the 'Unix philosophy' but it just doesn't scale in a web context...

Personally, I much prefer a single nice, complete, well-polished module that works perfectly over lots of tiny modules which are awesome individually but which suck when used together.

"I got rejected by both Facebook and Google this week after 1st round and it has been quite a downer on my confidence"

I'm self-employed now, but when I was looking for jobs, I was rejected multiple times (before finally finding a job). I tried to learn as much as I could from the situation and I moved onto the next interview. Sometimes, it's just not a good fit or they were looking for someone with a different skill set.

All of these successful people that are 5 years younger than you probably got rejected multiple times before getting a job. They will never tell you this and you only see the success.

It reminds me of many photographers' portfolios: You might see 100 beautiful, perfect, pictures. But, you don't see the 1000 terrible shots it took to get them.

"It has been at least a month I have been looking for new job but still nothing."

Try to get busy with something. Work on an open source project while you are looking. I'm not sure why, but I've always found my best jobs while I wasn't thinking about getting a job all the time. It might have to do with subtle signs or body language...or maybe I'm just more comfortable.

"dating"

Dating will always be tough. I dated around for 5 years before finding my wife. I have found that it's very similar to finding a job: When I'm not concentrating on looking for a date, I end up finding one.

My wife and I met through a meetup group. It had nothing to do with dating, just a mutual interest.
I can think of worse outcomes than having to use djb's software, whether it's dummy-proof libraries, well-designed, small programs that work together, or algorithms chosen as defaults by some self-authorized standards group or by a company selling bloated, proprietary software that only works with other programs written by that company.

Sounds like we're begging for someone to write a nice blog post for how they set up redundant DNS across multiple providers "the right way"...

You are confusing terminology here. Typical UNIX commands like ls, grep, rm, and so on are not part of the shell.
We just signed with a London based company judopay and they offered us a great deal. They are mostly focused on mobile payments but support rest as well. Our deal is 0.75% + 0.15 with a monthly fee of £100 which i think is really great.

We originally intended to go with stripe, but they refused us as 'forbidden business' which we aren't as we reviewed their terms plenty of times to see what we fall under. I asked for a clarification/re-review multiple times, but i got no reply which i think is very unprofessional.

This is a very fair point. Still, I would hope that it would make it harder to link a purchase to an identified individual.

If I assume the US is a country where the laws and constitution is respected, then only a formal subpoena would link the credit card transaction to the individual. Hopefully snooping would not.

Not exactly - I didn't ask for enforcement, and the irritation usually arises from wanting the occasional secondary type - such as an enum - to be part of the public interface (thus forcing the type itself to be public, naturally) without either:

1) moving it into a separate file, for the simplest two value one liner

or

2) making it interior to the other class, with all the verbose lengthy names (and semantic implications) that this might entail.

I want clear and concise names, so I lean towards #1. And if an enumeration gets more shared between multiple classes, or collects enough values and comments to merit it, sure, I'll move it into it's own file. But forcing me to shove it in a separate file before I've even decided on the best name (meaning I need to rename the file repeatedly as well), and before I'm even certain I'll keep that specific enumeration, is just meaningless friction.
