Thanks for that. I wouldn't have expected it to be practical to have such low latency FFTs.
All that law orders them to do is to record the access logs (Registros de Acesso), not the actual messages or any other metadata. Soneca's post above said the judge "ordered Whatsapp to share a particular user conversation", which that law doesn't oblige them to record.

My reading of this situation so far is that the TTIP is to increase free trade?

To me that's a good thing....
Ah yes, the thrifty conservatives that led us into the multi trillion dollar boondoggle of the Iraq War.
The obvious outcome is that issuing a g-buck is going to immediately result in depleting USD reserves by a dollar as soon as the g-buck is spent.

It's kind of the opposite of that. Every time a GD is spent, it protects our USD reserves by resetting the expiration time on the GD.

Anything that inhibits immediate redemption for USD is going to inhibit adoption.

I don't think adoption is a huge obstacle. The plan is to hand it out as free money to low income people. If someone comes up and offers you free money, are you going to say no?

We go around to merchants (e.g. convenience stores) asking them if they want business from any of the people we're handing free money to. Some of them will undoubtedly say yes.

If we fail, we'll have done the equivalent of taken a bunch of money and handed it out to poor people for a period of time. If we succeed, that money will be circulating on its own, and hence not converting back to USD very fast. We will have established a new currency.

As the currency circulates, we can lower our reserve ratio. In much the same way that banks don't retain enough cash to cover all their deposits, our total USD reserves can fall below the total amount of GD in circulation without breaking the peg.

We're immune to a currency run, because if people panic, they want to get rid of their GD. The only way to do so is to spend it, and spending it protects our USD reserves.

You need a real-world use-case that USD is less than ideal for

People who don't have USD, but still want to buy things.

get real traction as a store of value

We get traction as a store of value by pegging it to USD and backing it up with USD reserves using the resetting timer mechanism that I've previously described.
You're currently asking for money to be able to do something which is illegal. I'd consider that "making a profit". You may not be selling it directly, but crowd funding is a type of sale.

No, it's not a political limbo. It got voted in the congress just as the law requires and is awaiting the voting in the senate just as the law requires it. The president of the STF presides the hearing on the senate where testimonies are gathered, and the STF votes for the impeachment. It's not "a coup" just because it hasn't reached that state yet. Stop spreading misinformation.
This is quoting Hume... I always find it hard to get to understand these figures, because I feel I need to know who influences them, but then I need to know who influences them... and so on.

Key severs don't implement any non-trivial verification. Presumably they have some reason for doing so (apart from laziness). I'd ask them why they don't implement it.
Really, really like this. Been promising myself I'd build something like this eventually, other projects always got in the way. Glad you did it.
If done correctly, getting a drop of blood with a finger prick hurts much less than getting it from a vein in the crook of the arm. I say this from experience, as a diabetic having done both many times.
Sure, in part Italy is cheaper due to the economy, but it's also because you can build outside of the historic areas to meet demand.

And there's decent public transportation.

I just don't see any relationship between decent public transportation and things being affordable or not. It's much more closely tied to density: without density, public transportation doesn't work as well.
Too Ambitious: Brodlist

Just for clarification, Brodlist is finishing its Alpha version. The money would get it into Beta, and the YCF advice would get it out of Beta.

It would be too ambitious if it was just starting, but it's finishing.
Is it too late to add helicopter capability?
Hmm, maybe. Given the court's secrecy and the general tendency of judges to defer to law enforcement on what constitutes an emergency, I assume there are cases where the gov't acts first and gets permission afterwards. If that's the case (and I recognize it's an if), and if every request is approved by the weak-willed judges (history suggests yes), then they have complete freedom to choose their judge.
Knowing which source file to start with is important. That depends quite a bit on the language, and the type of software.

Hard to make a short summary here, because there's no easy rule of thumb. For example, you could say, for C, "find the main() function first." That doesn't help, though, if the open source project is a library, like pcre.
I didn't notice the dodgy exponents. In that case, it's possible it was a broken keygen algorithm. But many of the others (small factors) are probably other errors in the chain (and a cousin comment has done some testing that appears to back this up).
Okay, thanks for the response!
Why European Children Are Quieter
It is my understanding that the biggest problem with the naval version is that it has only one engine. The F-4 and F/A-18 were both twin engine planes and if one engine failed or was damaged, the plane could still fly and the pilot could land on the aircraft carrier and save the plane. With the F-35C, if the engine is damaged far from the carrier, the pilot will probably have to eject and be rescued. In that case, even if cost is no object there is the inconvenience of going to rescue the pilot and being short one airframe. I also remember reading somewhere that the repair bays on an aircraft carrier can swap an engine in an F/A-18 in just a few hours.
Access records, explicitly defined in that law as IP address plus date/time, not "all communications".
We highly appreciate your opinion and suggestions on our project
Sure: MSP.
> First, WhatsApp is a US company and has no presence in Brazil. Under many readings of US law (specifically, ECPA), US companies are in fact prohibited from complying with requests from foreign law enforcement for content, except in emergencies. Instead, foreign law enforcement must make a request for assistance to the US DoJ, which will then (eventually, and maybe) process it and serve it on the US company. This is one of the reasons why MLAT reform, such as the proposed UK-US agreement[1], is so important because it would allow US companies to directly respond to foreign law enforcement requests.

If you want to do business in a country then you should follow its laws.
You can cry creative freedom all you want, the colour choices make it hard for certain people (with visual difficulties) to read the site. Not accepting that and improving the design is basically saying "my creative freedom is more important than people actually reading the website".

I partly agree with you, but I wouldn't go to the extent of using "easily" in this phrase --

> Statistical dependence can be determined easily if you know the distributions,

Even if you know the distribution, a statistical test will make Type-I/II errors that you would have to take care of.

Actually, I find the text linked above hard to understand, without properly defining 'c.' What's the sample space?

In general, my sentiments are with the xkcd comic strip, but nothing more. Pearl's theories lay a firm foundation for communicating a causal hypothesis and manipulating it algebraically, but the true tests of causal hypothesis are:

- Experimental evidence

- The predictions it makes, in cases where experiments are hard to perform (e.g., in physics, when we make certain causal conjectures about how the universe works).
The solution to this isn't a legal one, unfortunately. We can no longer trust the government, of what ever nation, period. In US we have Clinton and Trump as the presumptive nominees, both will be terrible for privacy and liberty. The solution is for WhatsApp (and others) to design a protocol that runs over common ports and encrypts end to end the communication and the protocol. Make it impossible to block without costly deep packet inspections and banning of thousands and thousands random relays, and it will not be blocked.
Someone needs to create sane international e-commerce laws.
I guess the question is "Who?"
I usually don't respond to anything which I feel is just another "language war" provocation, but whenever I see these type of reviews I'm mystified.
I've developed in many languages and frameworks, both well known and lesser known - decades of client and server side of C/C++, Javascript, Lua, Java, Python, PHP, Perl, Lisp. Pascal (just to name a few) in projects of all sizes, and not once did I have the thought "this language sucks". I think there are a few reasons for this:
1) Even after all these years, I'm still passionate and excited at the ability to sculpt logic, regardless of the "material" I need to use.
2) A "keep it simple" approach - no way to overemphasise this. Know the advantages and limitations of the language and stick to what works. Keeping things simple should be like a fractal - existing at all levels of abstraction.
3) I'm very wary of hype. New, shiny and trendy does not necessarily mean better, especially when the hype is in conflict with keeping things simple.
I find that when you understand the playing field, mark the areas to avoid and keep things as simple as possible, the elegance of the design and implementation usually makes the advantage of language X over Y insignificant, and I feel that blaming failure on the language used is like blaming a bad novel on the word processor used to write it.

Cemetech user here, although I pretty much stopped going there, as I was more into Casio calculator stuff and nowadays there's not much development activity for these. I must say I envy the large community support for the TI calcs, especially the older z80 ones, which are really really well understood and have been reverse-engineered in every way possible.

I kind of got into reverse-engineering the Casio Prizm, but eventually gave up because the SuperH is a much more complex architecture than the Z80; also, the firmware is so much bigger and not very well understood, it's hard for a beginner to dive in. That more or less explains why there's no such thing as a KnightOS for Casio calculators.

I'm part of that group that learned more about computers and programming with his calculator, than math. Which was actually a very good outcome, since in this undergrad computer engineering course, calculators are mostly forbidden, but the knowledge I got from them is quite useful :)
ymmv, but in my experience, local devs are the best--culture, language, in person meetings, and timezones matter. Also, quality is usually better in my experience with local devs
I think I've just been misunderstanding your point. From your original comment, I thought you were saying that density was responsible for both good transit and affordable housing in Italy. I totally agree that you need density for decent public transit.
They have every right to pull your app, arrest you and prosecute you if you ever do go to their country, and apply to have your extradited under relevant treaties.
My grandmother collected the silverware that airplanes handed out. Now we've got a pretty funny assortment of airline-branded metal knives.
The article leaves out what is my opinion the #1 reason to use H.264 - hardware decoding support. When I watch VP9 videos, the decoder runs in software on the cpu, draining the battery faster than H.264 which can be decoded in hardware with a separate decoding chip.
No. I have not heard back yet.
Edit: Fair enough. My competition does have an army and a navy. But I still think we can do it. Unless they start providing a basic income in their own currency, I'm confident that my currency will disrupt theirs.

The two I voted for were Brodlist and Gresham Dollar (my own). Why do you feel that they're too ambitious?
PSA on "trusted traveller" programs: enroll in NEXUS.

It is the cheapest of the generally available programs at $50 for 5 years, versus $85 for Pre-Check and $100 for Global Entry. It is also the most privileged, affording all of the benefits of Global Entry and Pre-Check, and additionally allows expedited entry into Canada. It is available to citizens and permanent residents of the US and Canada.

The only downside is that the interview must be conducted at one of the enrollment centers that are in US/Canadian border cities (e.g., Seattle, Vancouver, Detroit...) or major Canadian airports, so you'd have to make a trip if you're not nearby.
I can give you a dozen reasons why Krewe IS ambitious. And the competitive space is a joke. Every other company is trying to do a "Tinder for friends," but that model is inherently broken. Krewe is doing something entirely different as it actually replicates the way people naturally make friends (particularly when they're young).

Response to edit:
Krewe is not a social network in the same sense as something like Facebook. It's aims to get you to actually meet (in the real world) and get to know people who live near you. It does so in an a way that's both comfortable and convenient, which gives you the best chance of forming real friendships. Everything else fails at either comfort or convenience (or both), which is why no one has been able to make a dent in the (massive) market.

Krewe is bottom up vs Nextdoor which is top down. Krewe places you in a group of five other people and then lets you expand from there. Nextdoor dumps you into a chat room with all your neighbors -- it doesn't exactly encourage you to meet people. It's really more like Craigslist. My neighborhood (which has 60,000 people in it) has no activity in it.

I can go on on how Krewe's different, but rest assured, it is very different from anything that's out there. I have exhaustively looked.
My dad was a fighter pilot in the USAF at the time the F-111 was supposed to come out. It was late, so he ended up flying the F-100.

McNamara was the genius pushing the F-111. Also the genius behind the Ford Edsel. When he came to visit the base one time, one of the NCOs who was near retirement had an Edsel painted in the camo pattern specified for the F-111. It was parked within clear view so that McNamara could see it when he disembarked from his plane. He was pretty steamed.

That's about what airmen thought of the F-111 and McNamara at the time.
A lot of people are evaluating too much based on the ideas, rather than the background of the founders and whether that background gives them the experience to execute the idea.

For example, I liked the Cadwolf idea because the founder has worked as an engineer in the kinds of organizations he wants to sell to. Many of these applications had no info about the founders that I could find. All in all, the vast majority of these apps gave little indication the founders have the necessary background to do their idea.

Just some examples: as far as I could tell, the founding team for Brodlist has no prior experience implementing the internals of database/distributed/operating systems. The Jury Board idea sounds really interesting, but it's an area where I'd like to see the founders have a lot of domain expertise (litigation experience?), and sadly the founder didn't provide any info on that.

Somewhat related, I think it's terrible to vote for Pinboard given the founder's stated dislike of YC (and the founder stating that this is a protest vote). The fellowship should go to founders that sincerely want to make full use of YC's resources for their startup.
Nah, you just gotta DISRUPT the current laws.
And Google would never break the law or breach a contract. Especially a contract they signed with the UK Government.

I mean, other than that time just a few years ago[0] where Google broke the law and then breached the contract they signed with the UK Government.

I am sorry, but your argument is idiotic. It boils down to "WhatsApp wasn't there to produce something they didn't have, so a district court judge managed to order a bunch of nonparties to the lawsuit to take down WhatsApp." That's like a district judge in NY ordering all the telcos to block all iPhones because Apple refuses to hack a phone for him. What kind of judicial system are you running there in Brazil? I am glad that you are in the minority, but that's no way to run a country.

President Buhari needs our prayers – MRS FAWEHINMI
Why is this beneficial? It means you need to change several repositories to add one target triple. This may be a win in terms of in-tree stability, but it reduces accessibility to everyone else.
I (we) did the same, as we are selling tickets and goods (digital and umm, regular) online, furthermore do it as a whitelabel platform, so it's definitely a service, but our billing to our clients is different than their billing to the end users (though we handle it for them).

So, I know the problems, I'm aware of the clusterfuck, but it's simply exactly as bad from our point of view as it was before (and at least there is an option to file VAT for the whole EU, which was non existent before, even if implementing it is a pain in the ass).

I don't know why you did not have to - in a legal sense - care about the location of the customer before. Selling something to an EU citizen in a state different from the state your business is established in meant that you were doing business in that state, hence you were supposed to register at their tax office and file and pay VAT on behalf of your customers. Just nobody did, because fuck that.

Anyhow, it's going to be years before it's sorted out. (The "action plan" is to be presented at the end of 2017, http://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/taxation/vat/action_pla... )

Also, there still seems to be an exemption for small businesses in a lot of member states ( http://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/resources/documents/tax... )
I love that you guys are working on such a universal problem.

Everyone on earth needs food to eat.

And it costs money.

If you can make a good product that improves how people eat, or make food cheaper, or better, I'd say that's a big accomplishment.
Meh. Same things would have happened if it was a stereotypical founder. I think being female is tangential.

Look, fraud and deception have been around for much longer than political correctness.

The female angle is definitely a cherry on top, but it's not the substance of the shit sundae served up by Theranos.
