Fraud can be handled in following way:
Technical point of view we will keep following measure in place:
- Limited accessibility to the account due to an unauthorized transaction.
- Account verification via phone number and email.
- Prompting users to update their account information from time to time.
- Email and text Confirmation after sending money and receiving money.

We also believe that fraud is an awareness problem. So, we will keep consumer aware of how the common fraud looks like and how to stop them with appropriate measures. Please check the sample awareness link for pay pal.

This. Kind of what I said in the main post. It seems crappy that you're giving someone an advantage, but it would be available to both sides. The justice system is structured this way because they believe attorneys will act in their self interest only and by letting them both do so it will be fair. I'm just allowing them both to have better tools while they do it.
Yeah, this is a good point. We do consider time-to-interaction an important metric (it is especially important for React Native), and indeed having less JS code to parse is going to give better results. I don't have a good answer other than that we definitely care about these metrics, and Facebook uses React more and more, so there will be more pressure on the team to improve them.

We are not in a perfect place right now but we are not just brushing it off either. As I said in another comment, at least having a good explanation for these bytes is something we plan to do in the following couple of months.

There are some other improvements to startup time that we are considering such as bundling to a flat file and removing some dynamic overhead (https://github.com/facebook/react/issues/6351). Also the plan is to have React go through significant changes this year (adding an incremental reconciler) so right now is not the best time to optimize the script size.

But yeah, this is on our radar. Community help identifying specific issues is also very welcome.

Problem is that it becomes problematic as soon as you keep such queries around (in stored procedures, source code, or batch files), and then modify your schema by adding or removing a foreign key.
Text -vs- texting. Tone matters
The article says, "At the school, Mr. Obama taught three courses, ascending to senior lecturer, a title otherwise carried only by a few federal judges. His most traditional course was in the due process and equal protection areas of constitutional law. His voting rights class traced the evolution of election law, from the disenfranchisement of blacks to contemporary debates over districting and campaign finance. Mr. Obama was so interested in the subject that he helped Richard Pildes, a professor at New York University, develop a leading casebook in the field. His most original course, a historical and political seminar as much as a legal one, was on racism and law."

From that description, the equal protection and due process course sounds like a typical con law profesor?

Here I was, worrying about the fortunes of the USA military-industrial complex, once we taxpayers realize what a scam the currently-hyped "threat" is. Those guys are so creative, to already have another scapegoat lined up, especially such a large Muslim nation populated by not-white people! It's like a perfect mash-up of Iraq and Vietnam! Bravo, defense lobbyists!
Much of the Ruby influence is because the creator of Elixir (José) was previously from the Rails core team.
A ha! I was wondering when this question would arise. There's a lot in your question so I'll hopefully hit on everything.

The regulatory environment, as mentioned in another comment, is still the Wild West out there. Also mentioned is that it matters how you position your offering in the market and how it is structured. For example Lumni is another company that has an intermediary fund which acts as a risk pooling mechanism, thereby tying it more closely to insurance regulation than say, a direct agreement between two individuals would.

Fantex is targeting a different market altogether despite using the same vehicle to do so ("getting a piece of an athlete"). I feel it's unfair to compare the two in the same vein that a mortgage is much different than credit card debt.

While Upstart has left the market, their exiting statement claims they are still optimistic regarding the use of ISAs as a vehicle in education funding.

In my research of those participating in the student debt market, there are a number of problems I have with existing services out there (but I won't be delving into pros and cons of every single issuer):

Pricing is typically inflexible (5-year, 10-year).

Pricing is not transparent/clear (what does the company make, what does my investor get?, can I lower it in any way?)

Lack of a microfunding structure (like LendingClub). More investors decreases individual student exposure by diversification.

Many don't truly promote/provide a good avenue for the mentorship aspect. The platform is financial services only, get your loan, and never log on again except to repay -- that is not my vision.

Many didn't have great distribution/marketing. Ask your friends if they are aware ISAs exist, I am doubtful many will know. Sure, that may be anecdotal but I assure you many do not know this type of funding is an option to be considered. I believe this to be one of the biggest hurdles in this market that no player has yet captured. One of several campaigns we would run is involving student representatives on campus for information/advertising and client acquisition.

We aim to be a truly accessible and customer centric platform that I don't think any others have yet conquered. This is certainly an undertaking to portray financial concepts to 18 year olds but I think with the proper data, visualizations, and communication pipelines, we can differentiate in this area.

Based on the quote I received from an unnamed competitor, it appears they remain uncompetitive compared to the alternative of student loans.

Seedu aims to ameliorate these issues. I don't think it is necessarily one of them that caused previous attempts to fail, nor do I think one company is doing all of these things wrong, but rather a combination of all of them. Seedu values flexibility, transparency, and mentorship above all.

Hope this helps. Please follow up if I was unclear anywhere.
Interesting.

Although, if housing in Boston tends to be of lower quality than SF housing, might that not put extra demand on the more recent and presumably nicer housing?
It could be construed as such. Really it's all about execution strategy.

If your concern is that it's active you can always check to see how well the fund tracks the index. The reality is that they track the indexes so well that it doesn't matter. At least for total market or S&P 500 funds.

There are problematic indexes that don't seem to get tracked well by funds.
Ask for something a little outlandish and maybe unrealistic, like taking a sabbatical/working remotely for a few months while you travel (this probably only works at a startup without a formal hiring process). If they are willing to at least entertain the idea, its a good sign.
I'm assuming the SMS integration is only for Android... But, yeah, this is great! I love Signal. Now I need to get more people I know to care enough to use it and not FB Messenger.
you're right, i've spent 5 years (damn... time flies) living in 450 and it's the perfect amount of space for one person.

i wouldn't go below 400. it's just too small... studios larger than 400 tend to have real bathrooms (sink, tub/shower, and full size toilet) and real kitchens (30" sink, 30" range, 30" fridge) which are requirements for me.

feeling restricted in the kitchen is frustrating/suffering to me because i cook a lot. i think someone who doesn't cook could probably do 350.
Is there really such thing as a passive fund?

I have a strong feeling that the contents of the index (or at least weights) can still be manipulated. And also that the fees are just moving down the food chain somehow.

If you think I'm wrong, just consider that a public company can own stock in another public company.

This will all become more obvious when "passive funds" take over more of the market.

Some added notes. Attorneys already look up juror's facebooks/twitters/etc if they can. I would just be helping them use that data. I would try to automate as much as possible, but even if I can't there is still plenty of data to look at.

Also, I've not really explored this avenue much, but any information brought up in this investigation or given to attorneys becomes a matter of public record. It seems like there would be a great deal you could do with that, but I'm not really into the personal data selling thing.

For queries returning results from a majority of rows in the table, won't a sequential table scan be faster than an index scan?
Apply HN: A program for elite business students before college
Basically the idea is for a curriculum that will be delivered through various means (summer camp program, weekend retreats, high school visits) that is designed for college students interested in BUSINESS in the summer before their freshman year. The curriculum will be designed to greatly increase the likelihood of student success in school, social life, professional career, and personal life. It will cover topics such as study habits, personal training/fitness, how to dress well, productivity habits, networking/presentation skills, career/goal planning, entrepreneurship skills, etc. Much of the value comes from the network created (similar to YC).
There are many technology camps like this (that are really expensive) for really smart kids that are hosted by universities. I believe if you offered a strong programming for students interested in business, a lot of value can be brought to them for spending a few weeks.

While not a billion dollar business, I believe if it were grown beyond just an in person camp for 50 students, substantial profits could be made delivering the product online or through mini camps spread out in different regions.

There is more than this, but I wanted to keep it short. I can expand if necessary.
One of the main points of Erlang is fault tolerance. Everyone forgets about that and talks actors and scalability, which is fine. But without fault tolerance and proceses with isolated heaps it doesn't matter how fast the C code is, it can process millions of transaction a second, and then segfault, and the availability and transaction rate goes to 0 on that node.

The other advantage is power of abstraction. With Erlang it is easy to describe and program distributed system with lots concurrent components. Sure you can do it with C++, Java, and Node.js etc, but those things are awkward there -- either threads share memory and have to deal mutexes, or you in are in callback/promise hell.
I should have been more generous in my comment. I emailed an apology to the author.

But you've also increased your reliabily as well. Who cares if the tight single threaded application with a shared heap cand handle 100K connections, if as soon as one of those connection leads to a segfault, all the other 99999 crash as well.
The Meadow team seems to be doing a great job. getMeadow.com is really well done and their move into dispensary inventory management software and a POS system is impressive. I have been following them closely and I was wondering if their move into inventory management might have been due to dispensaries not being that interested in a grubhub style ordering service. I am curious about this because I have been working on a "grubhub for cannabis" site of my own and I have found dispensary interest in this SaaS product to be tepid.

While all of that is true, it's really not relevant to a programmer deciding on which to use as a key; he has no control over any of those things.
I thought there was a proposal in the works for adding checksums on script tags. Something like:

<script src='...' checksum='2fd4e1c67a2d28fced849ee1bb76e7391b93eb12' />

Which would allow the browser to use cached copies of files even if from different domains. Not sure where I saw that.
Working with llvm IR generally doesn't find as nice things compared to super optimizing assembly instructions. This is because there are lots of esoteric assembly instructions a human might not consider using that a machine can brute force.

See e.g. http://chriskresser.com/the-diet-heart-myth-cholesterol-and-... and the references therein.

Also, read https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phytosterol#Cholesterol_loweri...

Dietary cholesterol seems to have a minor (~10%) impact on serum cholesterol levels, and no impact on CVD or all cause mortality. And this has been known (and ignored) IIRC for about 40 years now. Cholesterol is a symptom of problems, not their cause.

Note, however, that this is regarding a typical human. There are rare genetic diseases in which cholesterol itself is the culprit. I have no knowledge of this specific disease, but it might be one of them.
This is a routinely done thing at the university residence when I lived there (each floor has a lock like this at the elevator room and the staircase doors). Other common items are like a small stack of paper in a folder, or whatever.

> I can't think of a single reason that anyone should have any money in an actively managed mutual fund.

It will depend on your bank, but anecdotally it seems commission free mutual funds are more common than commission free ETFs. If you are the type who wants to invest X% of every paycheck (i.e. making multiple trades a month), are only investing a small amount of money, or are only investing for the short to medium term, you are likely better off with the the higher fee and lower commission. Retirement savings tend to be none of those three categories, so ETFs are almost universally better in that regard.
Exercise is the best break in existence. Lifting weights in particular is really great at clearing your head. Watching a television show or random video lecture while walking on the treadmill works pretty well too.

I don't know if live reload is widely used or not, but the other features of erlang allow you to create systems that see decades of uptime. But without code hot swapping your uptime is limited by how often you ship new code. Typically a distributed application will be made of independent programs on various machines that you can upgrade and spawn and kill at your leisure. In erlang your entire distributed application is kind of like just one program, and what was an executable in the traditional model is now a module, so in order to match the capabilities of a traditional system, you need to be able to upgrade modules without killing everything.

There are a number of other dynamically typed languages that have fast implementations. Javascript has a few; Common Lisp, Self, Julia, to name some others. They'll never be as fast as C, certainly not when comparing highly optimized programs, but they're fast. It looks like most dynamically typed languages can be made to run 10x slower than C. Compare that to CPython and HiPE which are more like 100x slower.

I don't think code reloading would hurt JIT performance too much. The prerequisites for runtime specialization of procedures basically accomodate eveything hot swapping would need. I also think the way people use Erlang's type system is probably more ammenable to conservative type inference than the existing fast dynamic languages, and that's one of the more important metrics.
Personally, I'd play a lot of Mabinogi Classic if they released that.
Here's an interview question I always ask that has worked pretty well:

"If you could wave a wand and instantly change one thing about this company/job/team, what would it be?"

This is similar to "what is wrong" but frames it in a positive light, so people are more open and creative.

If the answer is anything about people "I wish communication was better", "It would help if more people were on board for this project", "A change in management wouldn't hurt, haha j/k" etc. That's a red flag.

If it's about non-people "I wish we didn't have so much legacy code", "I would love it if we could get our testing setup better", "There are no good places to get coffee around" that's a good sign that aren't major people problems.

If they can't think of one, that's a real cause for concern!

This is one of my favorite questions in general because what people wish for tells a lot in many ways about the major problems, but without people begin guarded. They're fantasizing not venting.
I wonder what kind of regulations exist for Meadow. When I opened up a business (not marijuana related) bank account in Colorado, they only had one question: "Is this a marijuana business?"
"The rationale was that as technology progressed and password cracking became easier, users could be contacted to update their password."

I would argue that this a misguided motivation for storing the password entropy. Bcrypt is purposefully designed to combat the problem of more efficient brute-forcing due to future GPU/CPU speed improvements by incorporating a 'work factor'. At any time, application owners can specifically increase the work factor and the hashing process will be intentionally slowed further. In this way, the future reversibility of the password hashes can be reduced without requiring that users update their passwords.
React doesn't really have much of a public API surface. In Rx you can give up some operators but React doesn't have a similar concept.

That said we will continue exploring how to drop some weight from React further down the road. This is not a priority right now because some large changes are coming relatively soon to React (work on incremental reconciler) so it would be unwise to focus on size optimization before a big refactoring.

I think that we will be in better position to consider what can be removed or separated after we ship the incremental reconciler. Hopefully this will happen within a year. For now I don't have a good answer to this but I'll try to at least provide a summary of how large different pieces are when creating a high level technical overview of React next month.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean. "Passive" is descriptive of the strategy & nothing more.

Those funds are trying to mimic the returns of a particular market segment. If a passive fund argued that a particular market segment had implicit fees & therefore they charged similar, it would still be passive.
