That's exactly what makes this cool! Since we know the signed hash is a chunk from the Blockchain that is most assuredly not Sartre, we also know with cryptographic certainty that Wright does not possess a copy of Sartre with that hash. That would be what's known as a preimage attack -- given the hash from the Blockchain, find another SHA256 file with that hash. Wright could not even generate a malicious Sartre document with that property, without having executed a much larger crypto hack than Bitcoin itself.

This service actually comes with a way to get bitcoins for "free" or mine with their hardware.

"The easiest but most limited way to get some bitcoin with 21 is to run 21 faucet, which gives you a small amount of bitcoin to play with."

Home routers come with one of three instruction set families (MIPS, ARM, PowerPC) with CPUs or SoCs from at least six major manufacturers (Broadcom, Qualcomm-Atheros, Ralink/MediaTek, Marvell, Freescale/NXP, Realtek) and WiFi interfaces from any of them except Freescale but plus Quantenna. And there are multiple generations of hardware in the market at any one time. That adds up to a hardware ecosystem that is vastly more diverse than PCs; this is in no way a narrow scope of problem. And I'm ignoring all the devices that also have a cable, DSL, or cellular modem.

The boundaries of what tasks are handled by the CPU vs by dedicated offloads on the SoC vs by the NIC (which usually has software of its own) differs with every manufacturer and every hardware generation. The job we want our routers to do is a moving target as the industry continues to develop new routing and configuration protocols (eg. Homenet) and new QoS techniques and new WiFi rate control techniques that need to be incorporated into the software running on the CPU and/or NIC. The hardware is usually weak enough that the products can only get the job done by prioritizing performance over expensive security measures.

I could get behind the idea of a line-rate dedicated firewall+NAT with formally specified behavior. But any attempt to enumerate the core functionality of a modern wireless router will leave you with a job that is far larger than any successful formally specified/verified software project.

Running atop Linux is the only option that doesn't leave you stranded with a '90s-era feature set and a cripplingly small base of supported hardware, and the userspace stuff is the low-hanging fruit for securing anyway.

From a purely financial point of view, you may well be right: the technical and social benefits of clean, elegant, reliable, correct software probably don't justify sacrificing something as profitable as the permissiveness of the Web.

A lot of our apps use Flyway and it works pretty well, though it tries to do everything in a transaction. Normally that's desirable -- we don't want a migration to partially succeed -- but we would often use CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY in Postgres databases, which can't run in a transaction. In those cases we would need to manually run the migrations and update Flyway's schema_version table, which is annoyingly complex (11 columns, some with no obvious purpose).

I also don't see how you can possibly optimize GPU code based on some static CPU code but, on some game consoles, you can share data structures between GPU and CPU, which is nice. E.g. instead of binding a bunch of named parameters you just pass a pointer to a native C struct. This, apart from greatly simplifying the code is a performance advantage as well (the parameter binding is not free and consumes both CPU and GPU time). Though, I don't see how this could be possible to implement in a platform-independent way.

Yes, it's just you.

The core ruby team is mostly Japanese-speaking, and Japanese developers are less likely to speak English well even than people in a lot of other countries where English is not a common first language. I think that does serve as a barrier to communication and transparency (with/towards English-speakers!). I think that's all there is, nothing "about Asian culture", or "decisions are made as a group rather than on an individual basis," or cliquishness.

We English speakers have the luxury of seeing almost all open source development happen in our first language. Most of the world doesn't. Ruby is an exception, with a mostly Japanese core team. Just how it is.
Keep in mind that Apple claims they developed custom scaling algorithms to handle these downscale modes, so a PC user doing the same thing using GPU drivers might not get as good results.
What do you mean by expensive? Smaller neural networks are computationally cheap to run forward propagation on, which is all you need to do after deployment. This model is running in real time on your phone, after all. I'm also confused by your suggestion to use logistic regression instead. The accuracy will certainly be worse - even if you use relatively state of the art non-convolutional features like a spatial pyramid with SIFT or HOG (the computation of these features would almost certainly be more expensive than running forward propagation for a reasonably sized neural network, in any case). Thoroughly confused over here.

Sure, Angular has strict DI, which looks like this:

Now it doesn't need to read the function params as it has the strict strings. This'll survive function param mangling (a typical minification step).

Sorry to hear you felt you weren't up to learning Angular & DI patterns. It can be tough for some folks who are still learning programming & JavaScript in general, so there's no shame in passing. Maybe next time - challenge yourself!

Have you used osync for multiple users to a shared server? A lot of sync tools seem great till you want a "star" setup where multiple clients sync against a single central location.

This is cryptography, not politics. There's no middle ground here. You either have secure communications or you don't. If the data can be provided to the government, that also means it can be leaked, stolen, purchased, spied upon, etc.

> Yet, you either don't or rarely need them in practice if goal is integrity or confidentiality rather than availability.

My goal is correctness. A program that fails with a runtime exception is just as wrong as another that silently corrupts your data. Dijkstra put it very nicely:

“We could, for instance, begin with cleaning up our language by no longer calling a bug a bug but by calling it an error. (...) The nice thing of this simple change of vocabulary is that it has such a profound effect: while, before, a program with only one bug used to be "almost correct", afterwards a program with an error is just "wrong" (because in error).”

I think the marketplace itself is the most interesting part. The sample APIs for sale are probably just examples they built to demonstrate usage.

3 Which cities used lead pipes?

An important concern in a cross-sectional study such as ours is that the cities that installed lead pipes in the nineteenth century might have differed from the cities that did not in unobserved ways that were correlated with their homicide rates. Based on available data on the characteristics of the cities in our sample, we find little evidence that the cities that used lead pipes differed in observable ways from the cities that did not. Although larger cities, denser cities, and cities with comparatively low rates of home ownership were more likely to have used lead pipes, so were better-educated cities. High-homicide southern cities, meanwhile, were less likely to have used lead pipes. When we predict whether cities used lead pipes using all covariates, the only difference that remains statistically significant is the city population.

Using the Integrated Public Use Microdata Series (IPUMS) sample of the 1900 census, we calculate several city-level covariates that could be correlated with both lead pipe use and crime.17 These include each city’s population, population density, home ownership rate, and literacy rate, the share of each city’s population composed of African Americans, foreign-born residents, and single men aged 18 to 40, and the share of each city’s employed population working in manufacturing. We also create covariates for cities’ latitude and longitude...

What I think is that the burden should be shouldered by the state, and not small business owners.

Pretty trivial remark, but when the prices are so low, leading to most prices have two trailing zeros, couldn't we maybe switch for another unit than $/kWh ? Maybe $/MWh ? So we are currently at 29.9$/MWh.

For information, the average household in the world uses 3 MWh per year and a typical US one does a bit more than 10 MWh. Advanced and ecologically minded countries like Germany go down to 3 MWh.

We need a search engine that allows for deep search. It should be an open and cooperative project, and users could possibly run an instance of the spider/indexer as payment for executing searches, so it could be like a cross between bittorrent and Tor.

A free search engine would enable API calls and also boost privacy and freedom from the likes of Google. We have built a lot of experience about search engines since 2000, we have access to scientific papers, cheap cloud servers and a huge interest in freeing search, so I think the open source community do it.
The YouTube API used to be open too - no regstration or authentication. That ended years ago. I don't really need an "API" to do searches and transform the results into a more useful format than HTML. These API's make it easier and are addictive, for sure. It's foolish to rely on them however.

> she thinks her team is more important than an individual

Both scenarios are possible. A manager could say that all other team members are equally important while also implying that she or he is more important.

She saved the troublemaker by taking a few deep breaths, not the team. She blames the troublemaker for his bad behavior, and takes credit for his good behavior:

> But today he leads a team and triages the troublemakers he once was. Sometimes when you save a troublemaker, you're saving a team they're not yet on.

I understand the need for consultants and managers to brand themselves. She goes a little overboard. She does not acknowledge efforts made by other team members, and barely acknowledges the individual himself for the adjustments he made.

You write, "reforming them to remove that problem is a win-win for everybody". It sounds like you also feel it's possible for one individual to wholly change another.

If that is your meaning, I respectfully disagree. We each make our own choices and face the consequences, good or bad. There is room for guides to help people understand consequences. Mentors and managers do not make choices for individuals. Ultimately, each choice is our own.

There's a big difference IMO between what she wrote and a more realistic rewrite: "Sometimes when you are patient with a troublemaker, you're helping to save a team they're not yet on."
