You incentivize merchants with new customers that will shop exclusively at GD accepting merchants. After you have these merchant agreements in place, it will then be easier to incentivize the merchant suppliers to accept GD in order to stay competitive in their market.

The model, as I see it here so far, does not take into account the administrative costs of doing business. I'm talking about human resources, database servers, credit cards for BI recipients, transaction fees over credit networks... how do anticipate meeting these overhead costs?

Also, in regards to BI, I am also curious about the mechanism. One of the arguments for BI is that it eliminates the overhead costs associated with various agencies of social welfare and passes that savings on the public. Nevertheless, GD is a transition currency that will not originally be available to everyone as BI, which means that there will need to be some sort of selection mechanism (which is hopefully not as costly or beauracratic as current US welfare systems).

As the currency gains popularity, more FGD is sold and the USD reserve goes up. How do you quantitatively measure the popularity of GD? Will you be collecting data on transactions that feed into this analysis? What metrics are used to calculate the acceptable reserve level? Is this what will influence the production and distribution of new GDBI?

R'ha – (Feature Film) Bring the sci-fi epic to the screen
Not really, because it continually adjusts its schedule for you depending on your manual inputs, is powered by the HVAC wires themselves (and charges a small backup battery that you never have to worry about), and if you really wanted to you could log into her account and fix the thermostat remotely if somehow she managed to really break things. If all you do is turn the ring right or left for colder and hotter, it'll do its thing just fine.

You could hop into the menus and.. forget the wifi password or something I guess?

One thing nest handles really well is "I'm feeling a little too cold/hot tonight and I'm going to adjust the temp". You walk up and twist the ring and you're done. You don't have to disable scheduled mode or enable override mode or anything like that. Twist and done. I have a feeling that's how grandma messed up her thermostat, she was feeling cold so she turned it up to 80 (lol) and then the thermostat said, ok I guess this is my life now. 80 degrees forever.

Supervisors is only half the game here. Suppose A sends a message to B and decides to wait around for the answer. B now divides by zero.

In Go, your whole program is in consistency trouble and you have to write code to handle the case.

In Erlang, your monitor on B means you get told it is dead via an async exception delivered into your mailbox.

I know what kind of system I want to work with here :)

here's some more interesting, related stuff on it - https://www.reddit.com/r/ReverseEngineering/comments/42v21h/...
If I were implementing the uuid type in Postgres and did anything other than `if(unlikely(LO(uuid1) == LO(uuid2)) && unlikely(HI(uuid1) == HI(uuid2)))` I'd consider myself doing the wrong thing, personally. Two 64-bit compares, two flag checks, and a branch, which is about as fast as it's going to get in the absence of a 128-bit architecture.

You could actually vectorize the compares in SSE, I believe (but I stopped writing assembly before SSE existed and don't know much about it at a low level). This is why it's so critical to treat a UUID as an integer instead of a string, and I see a lot of code that does the latter.
College may be a great place to work on a web startup, since they require less in-depth expertise than an engineering startup, and it's easier to complete missing knowledge through advisors.

But an engineering startup ? definitely not.

(0) The idea is not to start without any schema but to start with one and then let it develop. In the example above, if Employees are only in one department and suddenly you have the situation where an employee is in more than one department, you don't need to create a link table to model that. In other words, you don't need to think, "Is this a one-to-one, one-to-many, or many-to-many relationship?" before you start, it can just emerge as you go.

(1) You can find more at Kayia.org but more will be posted on the site soon.

(2) A nontrivial application example is not available just yet and I agree with you that it would a great place to examine its trade-offs. The next several months will be quite busy but if you could please check in after that and I think we can eventually get you an answer you'll be quite pleased with.
I am disappointed in the Android client so far. There are several very featureful alternatives such as Relay.

I don't think it is a bad thing for Reddit to offer a free, bare minimum client. But after the Twitter experience I hope we don't see a gradual exclusion of the competition.
The Imgur bit is troubling. Even in AlienBlue I've noticed that when an image starts defaulting to the Standard Imgur view, and I click "Optimized", it switches right back to Standard. I'm not sure if that is Imgur intentionally trying to prevent people from not seeing their "Download our app" banners everywhere, or a bug in AB, but it is very annoying.

Ultimately, when I see an image or video thumbnail on Reddit, I don't want anything else with it. I want a direct image/video link. Ideally they'd be part of the native experience and not need to punt me elsewhere. There's really no reason Reddit shouldn't fully own those experiences beyond perhaps wanting to save on hosting/processing.

I'm also troubled by the increase of ads appearing in the feed vs. elsewhere. They are clearly watching Facebook and Twitter closely with their push towards a more curated algorithmic feed that allows for more/better ad insertion, vs. focusing on giving users more control of the feed.

Yes, a year ago. They weren't potentially dangerous in the first place really but they updated them after the feedback to be much more explicit and literally no-one appears to have issue with it anymore.

Can't disagree with that - though it's a lot more expensive and slower to build.
That makes sense, but it would mean that the EU directive does not override national law, right? So it would not be helpful in Sweden.
Refresh the page after the block appears, and it'll go away until you keep scrolling (letting you read the text it's currently blocking). Usually you can get through an article after 3-4 refreshes.
Upstart abandoned ISA idea and pivoted to traditional loan products. Has something changed, since Upstart pivoted, to make ISA attractive? What are you doing differently that your ISA offering, compared to Upstart, may succeed? You both are targeting same segment. Upstart has already tried student segment with ISA and that also recently so you will have hard time convincing people that situation is significantly different in 2 years.

What are the reasons for relative success of Fantex ISA compared to Upstart ISA? There is something uniquely different between Fantex and Upstart target market for ISA. You need to find target markets that have similar characteristics as Fantex ISA to figure out attractive target markets for your ISA.

You might want to contact Dave and Paul at Upstart to investigate their reasons to exit ISA. Also, try reaching out to Mark Cuban. IIRC, he was involved with Upstart too.

>If you only get canned questions

>If they give you an IQ test or similar, run.

I ran across this study a few months ago that says IQ-like tests, structured interviews (canned questions), and work-sample evaluations were some of the few useful interview tools for selecting good employees [1].

We're just reporting what we know at this point and what we think is likely. What we know is that their web server had access to _client data_ (the client portal). Two websites had vulnerabilities - both the WP site and the Drupal site. And it is _client data_ that was exfiltrated.

So in my opinion it's highly likely that the client data was taken via either a Drupal or WP attack vector. Even if this beach didn't happen, the client data eventually would have been stolen via one of these vectors. There are thousands of bot scripts that are exploiting revslider every day and so it's inevitable the site would have been hacked repeatedly and someone would have noticed a 2.6TB database that the web server had permission to access.

To illustrate: I've seen scripts running in real-time coming into a honeypot that run 'show databases;' and then dump everything to a .sql file in a public web directory and hit that URL to download. An attacker might have gotten a partial dump and then gone OMG and gone back for seconds... and thirds, and fourths...
Well you know what they say, Democrats fall in love, and Republicans fall in line.
Correct, that was my question. The post doesn't say what they chose for the LHTABLE size when they recompiled the kernel, only that it was increased from 32. BTW, according to the patch the article linked to, the size has to be a power of 2. http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/79014/
And when there are multiple foreign keys between two tables?

Yeah it's weird. They used this word again in the official announcement thread so clearly they've got a position they want their employees (and Alexis) to take, a fantastically vague corporate one at that.
FBI director says its hack is for iPhone 5C only
Yeah, I just said this in another comment, but SSE is my weak point; I stopped writing assembly and dealing with this stuff before SSE was even introduced.

That looks basically like what you need, though, yeah. Cool.
looks cool. kinda like www.pradux.com
I'm not entirely convinced that increasing the size of LHTABLE solves anything. True, it may remove some collisions in the hash table but note that 63925 % 64 = 53. Given that the two slow ports listed seem to be arbitrary and assigned to customers, they're probably just a symptom of the overload on 53/UDP. I'm not suggesting they chose 64, that's unclear, but whatever they chose probably just shifts problem the elsewhere. Increasing it /would/ inherently reduce the frequency of the events though so you can call that a win.

A naïve solution would be to choose a bucket based on the destination port as well as the source port if one is available (e.g. TCP). This might help balance load affecting particular local ports since we can assume the source port for TCP will be random enough. However, it doesn't solve the problem - it'll just hide it. Random spikes in latency for connections to random customers? Sounds undesirable.

A reasonable solution might be to work out a way to map gateway 53/UDP to a diverse set of ports which are bound to rrdns processes on the boxes which currently have 16K IP addresses. For UDP packets, this would be possible by doing on-wire modifications to the transport header and recalculating any checksums. Perhaps that just shifts the burden though.
Ahh, I see. I assumed that any and all optimizations are good, that makes sense.

Keep up the good work!
I still use mobile apps. I'm somebody?! Just a short list: Alien Blue, Craigslist+, Google News, NPR News, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc. That said, there are quite a few websites/web apps I save to my home screen (like HN) on my iPhone as well for instant access. If there is a well designed mobile app (for a service I enjoy) that takes advantage of the OS's built in features, I typically use it.

It absolutely baffles me that those climate change deniers do not even understand that the rise of sea levels will not be the same everywhere.

Where possible, I think the Erlangy thing to do would be to just have a separate executable and communicate with that. Also ensures that things keep running if there's a segfault or something.
The book "Cholesterol is not the culprit" was an eye opener for me especially given how one never heard about alternative viewpoints and experiments on this topic.
If you want to look at it that way, I won't stop you, but it's really not a popular comparison.

Brodlist is a relational database and the query language is both quite powerful and, for some, simpler than SQL.

Hey,

I am a co-founder and employee of a company so while salary stuff is clear, things like dividends + fiscal residence + tax treaty makes you crazy to be short.

Just working remotely for a company and being in a specific location all the time is certainly way easier to handle.
And maybe in a project with truly massive memory requirements that's an issue. I've never encountered it (as an issue that is) But I only got into the JVM on 1.6 with Jruby, made the switch to Scala around 1.7, and have been on 1.8 pretty much since release.

A 3GB heap is pretty typical, but that's mostly just room for cache.

If you're writing web-apps, there's a ridiculous amount of opportunity for using Actors to good effect.

On the other hand I try to keep an eye on resources. I try not to throw millions of messages at an Actor. If I'm batch processing, I'm probably work-pulling, mapping and prefetching my Sources to attempt to minimize latency. Even if I could tune mailbox sizes to avoid all that I prefer not to code in upper bounds on input.

I would be surprised to hear this is a widespread problem in people's work. You don't often hear the same complaints from Rubyists for example and they're much worse off in that regard. So I feel like this case is massively overstated.

But if you have that problem I can certainly see how that might figure into your equation.
The content you have merely contains a link to the provided resource. The user can fetch your page without violating the law, the user can also legally fetch the image from the owner. So neither you nor your user have committed a crime.

You could try to argue that the user requires a license to combine the 2 in ways not considered by you however this has several problems.

- Its laughably unenforceable

- In the us it would probably be fair use

- It would make literally the entire internet illegal

- It would make adblocking on your end illegal

- It would make you a world wide source of negativity and scorn.

Basically there is a technical solution to most hotlinking issues and every imaginable legal solution would be a cure worse than the disease.
Are you in the United States? you might want to consider forming a shell corporation. As long as you are willing to disclose all receipts and pay all taxes, you should be fine. Don't take my word for it though. Hire a good lawyer and describe to them exactly what you wish to accomplish here. Perfect anonymity is probably very difficult but someone will have to make a minimal effort to track you on the play store.

Or better, consider making your app free and open source and make available on F-Droid. (: (I can try to convince you, can't I?)

Over the years Stoicism has grown on me. I can't recommend it enough for business and engineering types as it addresses a lot of the negative side effects of tending to overthink things.

Meditations by Marcus Aurelius is a great straight-forward read and seems to be considered the gold standard on the subject.
Uh...what are you talking about? AlienBlue has sponsored posts that show up in the feed. It is incredibly annoying too. Unless it is because they screwed up the whole "pay for AlienBlue" thing they did a while back and I wasn't supposed to be seeing ads this whole time despite having paid...

My guess though is that this new version will have more of a focus on ads and monetization for sure.
To me it is interesting that YC puts so much focus on the founders. While you need an idea to start with, the idea can change or the company can pivot. Yet, when there has been discussion of the social angle of doing business at YC, it tends to not be backed up by data and, as such, it often seems to be raked over the coals in HN discussions. So, I would be interested in any data you have that supports some of the more hand wavy sounding social things that YC does.

I am aware that studies are often a case of GIGO and this is an inherently hard space to quantify. But I have taken classes in this area and read works that were research based, such as Getting to Yes, and I am always interested in any solid data that relates to what many people feel is a soft science at best, thus not worth taking seriously.

Thanks.
It's not the market fluctuation that's forcing people to leave the house, it's the tax and the state's enforcement of it. If taxes are pricing people out, lower the rate!
How about "you get an IQ test instead of a series of interviews and a chance to prove your ability"
The thing is, they have bloated out the library quite a bit. One of their early selling points was how much smaller the React library was than Angular/Ember. Now the size of react.min.js has ballooned up to 145.4kb, which is only 10kb short of Angular, and with addons it's even bigger.

As someone who focuses heavily on small page size, that's a pretty harsh regression. Especially when compared to all the other VDom frameworks like Riot/Mithril/Cycle which are all much much smaller and achieve about as much (in my opinion).
How are 3rd party Reddit apps on the security front? If I login through Antenna, is there any way to guarantee that they don't have full access to my Reddit identity and credentials? Or is that the risk of going with them?
There's a variety of work-from-home situations. The OP describes a situation of WFH while living in foreign countries, and apparently he's also self-employed.

Others (like myself, since 2012) are full time employed and work literally from home.

Still others work from local coffee shops or other comfortable hotspots.

As a full time employee, and having tricked out my home office with a comfortable chair and good equipment that I paid for myself, WFH is like being at the office, minus the noise and inconvenience.

Financially speaking, WFH is a huge win for most of us who aren't lucky enough to be able to walk 10 minutes to the office:

- I no longer commute 15-20 hours a week, which to me is worth an extra $20K a year.

- I don't have to make lunch, or buy lunch.

- I can go running at lunchtime, in fact, just stand up and go out the door, back in 50 minutes, and at some point I'll hop in the shower, at my convenience.

- I can time-shift my work; dental, quick shopping trips, running down to the Post Office, etc. become very easy to fit in.

- I can time-slice my day, getting my work done while fitting in 5 minutes here and there of practicing the piano, walk out into the woods to clear my head, or reading the news or checking social network sites without feeling self-conscious.

- Privacy

- Quiet

- Lighting as I like it.

- Can easily do the laundry.

- Easily make a personal call.

- Take a "youtube" break now and then, no need for phones. Ditto for having music going, though I'm more of a silence kind of guy.

True, you miss the 5-minutes-in-the-hallway kind of interaction that can grease the wheels and answer questions quickly, but phones, chat/texting, Facetime/Skype, screen sharing, and email pretty much cover it. A small price to pay in my opinion.
I don’t see a compelling reason to use a new browser which requires me to pay in order to have an ad-free experience.

I can have that experience now, and by using an ad and script blocker keep the cash in my pocket. Plus, I have a higher degree of confidence that my browser is correct, tracks standards, implements security measures, and tracks vulnerabilities.

"Market-rate housing probably has contributed to gentrification in many cities in the past. But the data shows clearly that, in San Francisco in 2015, market-rate housing development is not accommodating upper-income movers who would otherwise be somehow shut out of the city's housing market. On the contrary, the overwhelming majority of wealthy new residents do not live in new housing, and conversely, the vast majority of new market
rate construction creates housing opportunities for existing city residents. For this reason, we find no reason to believe that either a temporary moratorium, or an indefinite prohibition, of market rate housing will reduce the number of upper-income residents in the Mission, or slow the process of gentrification that the neighborhood has been experiencing."
I think we've all intuitively known this for a while, but it's cool to have a word to refer to it: "Context Collapse". It's useful terminology to add to our larger discussion of social network structures.
I don't understand this... How does the sort order in the index have anything to do with the arrangement of the table? If you build an index over the UUIDs, it's just going to refer to rows in the table by their internal offsets.
That healthcare industry data model is very simplistic and would not be adequate for the majority of real world use cases involving patient visits.

Sea level rise at the Netherland coast will not be as high as the sea level rise in Florida. They could be lucky and their coast is just at the sweet spot where the sea level will neither decrease (which would suck for Rotterdams harbour) nor rise.
