Do you have one? The window is only in the security strip, and it's clear on the reverse where the window has been cut out from the paper. The plastic is applied somehow to one side of the note.

Polymer notes like those I've used from New Zealand and Vietnam have the whole thing made from plastic, and no paper at all. Example: http://banknote.ws/COLLECTION/countries/ASI/VIE/VIE0124.htm

See, for example, http://www.reuters.com/article/us-euro-fakes-idUSBREA0C0JQ20... I can find no mention anywhere of polymer Euros.
It seems to me to be a smaller change to an existing design than that proposed by Japan.
Going through the Wikipedia articles in all the languages (I can read), the French one is the only one primarily naming it after Syracuse. Could that be the result of the contentious relationship between France and Germany, Collatz being a German mathematician?
For me Google Maps is slower than OpenStreetMap anywhere in the world, cache or no cache. Might have something to do with not using Chrome, where Google makes their websites work the best of course.

What do you mean by "the lack of precise zooming is super annoying"? In my experience, zooming in Bing Maps and OpenStreetMap are very fast, and only in Google Maps you're waiting ten seconds for the region to load and browser to respond before you can zoom further.
I have experience doing the exact thing described in this article, but not at the level of sophistication described. I still made a decent amount of money from it.

All of the exchanges (on the buy and sell side) know it's going on, and they generally don't try to stop it provided that it doesn't become news. A large number of well-known, venture-backed ad tech companies make money from this and they're not incentivized to stop it.

It's rare that the companies actively encourage arbitrage, but some do.

I assume your ethics also don't allow you to kill by proxy, e.g. you'd call the police in the aftermath of a burglary, but not for a real time life and death situation?

(Although if you want to maintain the lowest risk anyone will be killed, you'd never call the police in the US, full stop.)

How do you verbally tell someone the date in conversation?

September 14th 2014 or 14th of September 2014 or simply 14 September 2014? Being in the US, the latter two feel long or awkward for me.

Writing the date how we say it makes "sense" so I'm guessing outside the US dates are spoken differently?

You could try alternatives like OpenStreetMap. In the Netherlands, Germany, France and nearby countries the map quality is often better (and more up to date) than Google Maps, but I don't know about the UK.

For navigation there are separate websites that use OSM data, like yournavigation.org (not sure that's the best one, I just know of it). They often work a bit differently than Google Maps so there might be a slight learning curve.

There is also Bing Maps which has great areal imagery if you're looking for that, only their map quality isn't as good. Certainly not terrible either, though.
A Counter Machine with only one register would be an abstraction that doesn't need register annotation. It's turing complete with only two instructions.

Chaching is not a transparent implementation detail of the processor, i.e. compilers and assembler programmers do take caching into account, as far as I can tell from reading HN. Register utilization is a concern as well. Register renaming is probably just a implementation detail, I wouldn't really know.
Just about any aftermarket engine control unit would be able to take the place of the system in the F1
considering what websites used to run on 10 or 20 years ago, today's mini-computers (pyra / raspberry pi / ...) are more than capable of hosting websites and can deal with more traffic than you might think. that being said I doubt that's the case here (though I also don't think you were serious).

The analogy fails there because our 3manifold space isn't necessarily "embedded" into a higher dimensional construct the way the surface of a sphere is embedded into our 3 dimensional universe. So there isn't necessarily a hyperdimensional up or down to consider.

Or, alternatively, if you think of time as a dimension, then we can call "up" the future and "down" the past. In that case, if you look down inside the past, you'll see that in that analogy the center of the universe corresponds with the big bang! And all the galaxies are equidistant from that point/moment in spacetime.

There can be a million things wrong with user testing, and while I am certain they know more about it than me, I think it's a safe bet to say they're not perfect either and may make mistakes in such a complex topic.

(Small example of what I mean: many people like the new style because it's prettier, but when I use OSM I get to places a lot faster than people using Google Maps, so they might be asking the wrong question even if they did user testing with a million people. But that's just one example of everything that could go wrong.)

A Response To: Stop the “Women in Tech” Hysteria
Apologies for being a bit brief, it was late.

First, I don't have specific things that were left out (well, maybe a few), it was more a sense of there is so much more, especially that I would want to know and feel I should know when creating a computer language. The important bits.

First and foremost, programming languages are for people and for building systems. Except for CTM, that seems to be almost completely missing (and I had initially missed that it was actually on the list, so my bad).

So anyway, if you want to have theory of programming languages, you have to have something about how people think and work and how that affects programming language design. As an example, I found John Pane's HANDS system very illuminating, or maybe the "Smalltalk: Bits of History, Words of Advice", which talks about iterating on language usability, or Henrik Gedenryd's thesis "How Designers Work". Not saying these are it, but just the flavour I'd be looking for.

On the systems front, I think I'd want to see how problems building systems lead to features in programming languages, what the tradeoffs are etc. Again, without this, what's the point of a theory of programming language? And I do hope features in programming languages are trying to address actual problems building systems. Otherwise, it would be like having theories of engineering without talking about real world objects that we are trying to build such as airplanes, bridges or buildings.

As a tiny and obvious example, what are the tradeoffs between more compile-time checking with longer compile times and more inscrutable errors and a more dynamic approach with much faster cycle times but less checking? And yes, there are tradeoffs.

When you look at Hennessy/Patterson for Computer Architecture, you see (well understood?) tradeoffs that matter in terms of application. Yes, more registers are good, but then you have encode them in the ISA, and your path lengths increase and you need to save/restore more on a context switch, etc.

One thing that should also definitely be on there is HOPL. Histories of people actually designing programming languages, trying to solve specific problems and then figuring out what worked, what didn't and why. Without some sort of reflection like this (=evidence), again, what's the point of even beginning to talk about a "theory" of programming language? Unless it's a definition of the word "theory" that I am not aware of.

As far as I know they’re a cotton-nylon base with plastic coating on top, in contrast to the previous cotton-paper base without coating.

Right, giving away too many labels at once would make it too easy for people to copy the map data. By requiring much higher zoom levels, people would have to do many more requests to grab everything.

Not applicable at the zoom scale used in the article, but on higher zoom levels this is certainly a factor.

This PC was also not possible to purchase from the OEM.

I use OpenStreetMap for this use case so I can only answer for them, and they seem to do a great job at it. If I am looking for the general shopping area, or office areas, or anything like that, I can zoom and pan through a city and find it very quickly. That Google doesn't show labels anymore makes it completely useless (and I've run into that a few times).
Go devel compile times below 2x Go 1.4.3
As I posted on the other thread about this news, the interpretation that this gives the government "new hacking powers" is just flat-out wrong, and shame on the EFF for using it to spread FUD.

The ONLY thing changed by this proposed rule is the venue in which the government can apply for warrants, expanding it to include any jurisdiction involved in the crime under those two specific circumstances that the EFF blog post mentions.

It does NOT change any of the rules of probable cause involved in getting a warrant. It does NOT grant any kind of "new hacking powers". It does NOT criminalize Tor or allow law enforcement to get a warrant simply because someone used Tor.

There are reasons to not like this rule change based on what it actually means. Misrepresenting things that you don't agree with ultimately hurts your own side because it makes it trivial for people on the other side to dismiss your complaints as ignorant and wrong.

The trick Blodget managed to get his 20-something year old writers to do was at once cynical and awesome - write like you have know everything about a subject. Top 10 greatest students at MIT, Best angel investor you have never heard of, etc. Most of it was really just fluff but it also created an interesting and weird cottage industry - for smart founders and VCs who aren't well-known, nothing works better than getting to know a BI writer and getting in his/her good graces so you get repeat mentions - you can't buy press like that. BI is basically Buzzfeed pretending to be WSJ.
> 2) Legitimate domain owners can't recover from key loss

That doesn't seem like an insurmountable obstacle to me. You could devise a scheme where there's the option of a majority of multiple offline backup keys can be used to invalidate and replace the current online key.

Then it's up to the legitimate owner whether the domain is valuable enough to do that kind of key management and backup.

I said single biggest, as in a single entity. On an aggregate, if you combine everyone else, of course they aren't the biggest. They are also the single biggest consumer of oil products. In any case, if you combine federal, state and local government arm sales it is enough to have a massive market weight to shift production lines. The federal government could have stipulations of state governments with their federal funding that all cops must do x, y & z. (I personally do not support this, I'm merely saying it's a proposal I have seen put forth.)
Show HN: Jenkins 2.0 First Impressions
I'm offended, or at least I assume I should be, since I only read the article's headline.
Right, but pretty often the payment is not obvious. For example, it's often shocking how many non-obvious wasteful copies are being made behind the scenes as output to relatively innocent looking code. That's of course "programmer's fault", not denying that.

So you end up paying for things you didn't intend to use, but used anyways because of some small detail.

Sometimes I feel like the only way to write good C++ is to keep looking at the disassembler output...

C++ is my dayjob.

Humble Book Bundle: Hacking Presented by No Starch Press
Great overview!
From the article:

>>Among the few things she would not disclose is her current location, because she is at risk of financial ruin, extradition, and imprisonment because of a lawsuit launched by Elsevier last year.

Elsevier should be condemned for its greedy acts. People should send them letters of condemnation for their greedy acts, including for this lawsuit.

We can send them e-mails and therein can state, something on the following lines:

>>>

Publisher,

I, a member of academia, am concerned about the hurdles you have put in the path of the progress of science and education. I condemn your behavior and also condemn your decision to file a lawsuit against a person named "Alexandra Elbakyan" to throttle her efforts to spread the publicly funded research knowledge to the public without any "middlemen" like you. I applaud her efforts behind the sci-hub project that was far long due. You might have forgotten by now, but due to, and/or by, the middlemen like you, a noble person named Aaron Swartz was harassed to no end and it must be due to the pain and stress inflicted in that harassment he committed suicide. Please wake up and get rid of your mean tactics and save whatever little goodwill you might have managed to retain.
No thanks, as I cannot thank you.

<<<

Personally I have sent them a mail to this effect. Haven't got any response, it seems obvious.

Are there any legal repercussions that these mean, greedy publishers can pursue to harass the email senders, especially in USA? I am not from USA. Legal experts there can advise.

No need to mention, I am a huge fan of Alexandra Elbakyan and Aaron Swartz. They are great heroes of modern times. The thoughts of Aaron bring tears to my eyes. They are legendary and remind me of (may be fictional) Robin Hood [1].

I also thank all the academics who are actively helping the sci-hub project and all the people who are helping in their own capacity.

edit: added thanks to all academics and people.
Leaving aside the "new hacking powers" thing, I still see two problems with this:

1) the FBI can go the same friendly judge over and over again for all hacking requests. We've seen this kind of problem before like with the DEA going to the same judge tens of thousands of times for what other judges considered illegal wiretapping. So at the very least, if this passes, we'll need to somehow improve the oversight on judges much more than how it currently works.

2) it allows the FBI to hack people from outside of the country as well, even without permission from other countries to do so, which can cause all sorts of problems on its own. I believe Russia sued the FBI for doing something similar about a decade ago.
Interesting seeing both the architecture of the building in the movie and the movie itself differently.

It wasn't featured quite as prominently in the film, but I wonder if the use of "The Carter" (and its real-life counterpart) in New Jack City isn't similar.

I second knowing how what you do impacts the company.

If, by changing a process you reduce a vendor's cost for 3 years consecutively, while at the same time improving throughput and make sure they realize it - that does more for you than just working and hoping they realize it.
I am a huge fan of Jenkins for Continuous Integration (CI) and the other uses people have found for it as a task/batch file runner and cron substitute. It has a wide range of community-supported plugins which also cater for .NET and Node.js (my main software stacks) making it a great choice at work and at home.

Check out the write-up and the way I've used Docker Compose to evaluate the software without having to install it.
Just to add a little bit more - there's been a handful of developments around the SuperH as patents start to lapse. The Open Processor Foundation have a couple of SuperH implementations you can use on an FPGA (note: I haven't tried this) they've got a bit of information up at their website: http://0pf.org/
