Yeah, a lot of big bay-area and boston funds now have NYC offices too. General Catalyst - mentioned as being based in Cambridge in the article has an office on Lafayette street in NYC now with a couple of partners in it. This has changed the funding game more than the homegrown VC's (USV, as an example).
I still don't see the novelty.

Its a JIT compiler run-time. You put a program in the JIT-compiler's run-time. And it was JIT compiled. The program you gave it just so happens to have Turning Complete behavior. It doesn't change anything the JIT compiler is doing.

It's like a compiler boot-strapping itself. It seems really impressive, but really the program is just doing its job on an input. The input just happens to be itself.

Well, yes. And that is due to the fact that jet engines don't scale down to personal aircraft of the size of the Super Tucano. Nor would it make sense to do that. I am sure there are plenty of people who enjoy flying their turbo props and would find a jet less enjoyable. But for the purposes of long distance travel, no one wants to sit in a plane for several more hours because they find flying in a piston powered plane charming. I want that Boom plane here now, in fact. The shorter the flight, the better.

Odd statement. How can they have any customers who target Python 3 if they don't support it?
Technology is everywhere, and we are almost blind to it because it is so pervasive. I don't mean that as a criticism, because we really have no alternative. Step out into a downtown area, even of a little podunkville with three shops and a gas station, look around you, and start considering the web of dependencies you are enmeshed in, the road, the cars, the products in the windows, the windows themselves, all the breeding that has gone into all the plants you see, all the sounds you here beyond the noise of the wind and maybe some bird calls, all the smells... it would give you continuous vertigo to try to be aware like that all the time. Worth it to do once or twice though; it's a nice counterweight to the constant doom & gloom of the news and constant confident assurances that everything is going to hell and has gone to hell over the past $ARBITRARY years.

From what I can tell, the whole thing is basically a PR stunt. Intel are less interested in actually displacing ARM than they are in generating lots of publicity about how they're part of that hip new IoT thing. They've funded an entire TV show called America's Greatest Makers to try and associate the Intel Curie with wearables and the maker movement, done a whole bunch of high-profile tie ins with the X Games, Lady Gaga, Arduino, BMW, etc but they've no interest in actually making it available unless it'll give them publicity.

It seems to be impossible to find official power consumption figures for it anywhere either, and the documentation is lacking in general.

No, because they (the bootstrap people) can't know what your semantics are for the particular piece of HTML you are marking up. You might want to use 4 columns for a certain type of information in one place (Employee Data) and 4 columns for a different type of information in another place (Sales Figures) - the implementation of both is 4 columns, but the semantics would be "Employee Data" or "Sales Figures".
This very much depends upon whether you want the latest OpenGL 4.x features or not. Compute shaders, etc. Most people won't notice, but if you want to develop or use applications using these features, the open drivers aren't yet up to par, so for these cases it is indeed a major downgrade.

Something as core as OpenSSL should be provided by the system and updated by the system maintainers. That's what happens in Windows and OS X land, where the system provides a broad base of functionality that every application can count on (e.g. https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ff8...). Thus third party programs only need to bundle the elements not already provided by the system. When goto fail was discovered in the OS X crypto libraries, Apple simply issued a system update and that was the end of the story.
Hopefully this comment doesn't sound too stupid but is it at all possible (or likely to be implemented) to get a worse network on GCE and pay less for it?

I ask because I don't need a CDN level network like GCE provides but I do need a ton of compute and a ton of bandwidth for batch data processing on data hosted at another provider (and not a candidate for GCS). A pre-emptible network offering would open up the way for me to use compute resources, which is surely a good thing.

there is no expert or science that can fully understand the whole ecosystem and how it works, mosquitos and many insects are at the base of the food chain, the impact will probably be a domino effect that will make many other species extinct, where will this lead? nobody knows

Ok, this. This is the chain of reasoning I'm talking about.

It is the very height of hubris to say that the people who manage and study ecosystems don't understand them, and to imply that they are ignorant of something so basic as the food chain. I don't understand where this is coming from.

And there will probably be a domino effect that will wipe out many species? "Probably"? Like, more than 50% odds? Really?

When multiple professionals are willing to go on record saying the impact will likely be negligible, what makes you so darn sure they're wrong? The only place I can imagine this is coming from is some combination of "Science is Hard" and "Nature Messes You Up Whenever You Mess With It In The Movies"!

I'm thinking, the anonymity of cash is currently very popular, but probably unintended. See, used to be anybody could print currency, but not everybody accepted all the different kinds.

The Govt wanted to streamline banking and commerce, so they said "federal currency is legal tender for everything". Not because cash is cool. Because they only had cash or barter, and wanted just one cash.

Maybe we should rethink all this - if anonymity is important, cash isn't the best way. E.g. they could chip our coins and paper money, and track it through every transaction. Still cash; but not anonymous.

Anyway just thinking out loud.

On the flip side, you can have multiple filesystem entries (via hard links) to the same set of files and set up your own playground directory while keeping a mirror view of the same directory. Remove a file from dir A, and it's still in dir B. Once you're satisfied with the result, you can delete the entire dir B. Accidentally removed a file from A? Restore it from B by making another hard link. (Caveat: hard links don't work with directories unless you're Apple TimeMachine)

The hash rate represents the total computational power used by the miners to secure the Bitcoin Network. The more miner, the more secure it is but the less it is profitable for them to mine.

More electricity is being burned to do the same amount of work.

I know that sounds snarky, but it's how proof-of-work systems like bitcoin work: "miners" all attempt to generate a specific hash which just means lots and lots of computation. The number of transactions per second the bitcoin protocol can handle is essentially capped and completely unrelated to hash rate as the difficulty of producing a correct hash is adjusted based on the hash rate.

Do they need anything more than oil? Many here pretend to be ready to crusade to save SA women, or install democracy or anything, but are they willing to impose a trade embargo to SA? Obvious answer is no.
> The more miner, the more secure

This isn't totally accurate. You need a lot of different miners and a high hash rate for security. The least secure place bitcoin can be is when a single miner controls most of the hash rate.

And still no discussion on the value of pissing away our planets energy reserves, just to create imaginary points in a paranoid game. In one view, all the electricity burned to make bitcoins is a crime against the planet.
In general I agree with you, but it's not quite that simple. A lot of the increases of the hash rate are due to more efficient machines, not more power being devoted. Also frequently bitcoin mines are established where power is very cheap.

That's not how it happened at all. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, as a unified state, can be traced to the Treaty of Darin of 1915 between the United Kingdom and Abdul-Aziz Al Saud (aka 'Ibn Saud'). In the treaty, the UK agreed to protect the sovereignty of the House of Saud, and in return Ibn Saud agreed not to attack British protectorates in the Middle East and to support Britain against the Ottoman Empire.

This treaty (and the subsequent Treaty of Jeddah in 1927) legitimized their control over their territory and allowed Ibn Saud to go on to create the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in 1932.

The Arab people had no part in the creation of the Saudi state. It was created by conquest combined with the support of foreign powers (the United Kingdom).

It would require the programs to explicitly describe their actions to the shell and by default behaving in a reversible manner. That would allow you to single out effects you dislike, and tell it to undo it.

Kind of like making the shell behave in relation to your OS as an editor/IDE + version control system, rather than just as an editor/IDE. Old versions are preserved until you purge them.

Or perhaps it would just simulate state changing actions by default, waiting to be told to execute them.
It's not about novelty, it's about realization. PyPy exists and works as both an open source project and as a codebase, which is no easier to achieve than coming up with an idea. That said, PyPy has yet to demonstrate real impact outside the Python community, and projects with a somewhat similar aim to what's being discussed (the Parrot VM) have likewise not gotten to significant uptake. We'll see. PyPy is definitely already useful at other things, though.
