The FDA standards for generics are 80% to 125% of AUC and Cmax (measures of bioavailability). So you could be getting up to 20% less or 25% more drug with a generic than the brand. Sometimes that matters, sometimes it doesn't.

A great example of a generic drug problem is with Wellbutrin, used for smoking cessation and as an anti-depressant. The FDA allowed Teva to market their 300 mg pill without actual bio-equivalence testing (they just extrapolated from the lower dose) and as a result a lot of patients had bad side-effects. Teva recalled the product.[1]

PayPal, Stripe, Square, and Braintree (which is PayPal) are interested in helping merchants accept payments for goods and services. Dunno about Square, but PayPal and Stripe explicitly disallow the use of their platform to build any other money-sending service.

In generally children need to be driven to the bank by their parents, so why we'd also loop in a 3rd party (instead of the parent writing the child a check) is unclear.

My family solved this problem by maintaining an informal ledger and settling by transfer between our (linked) accounts at the same bank, but there's no way a random startup would get that kind of API from all the major banks - AFAIK even Mint is still screen scraping.
>when I can simply go do as many traditional interviews as I want, with the top 10 companies in my field (that are also not using starfighters.io), get multiple job offers that I can use for leverage/negotiation

But I bet many of the engineers you know hate collecting offers they aren't necessarily interested in, just to accumulate leverage (and honestly, to derisk the hire, create FOMO - "X has a competing offer from Y; I can see all the cracks in our hiring process, but I bet Y's is awesome!").

That takes precious energy. There's randomness in each interview. And lots of people hate current interviewing fashions (read any thread on the topic here).
But engineers often love doing games & coding puzzles for fun - which proxy well to dimensions of technical aptitude.

Imagine this world:
"As a software engineer, why would I even consider wasting my time with your technical screening process, when I can simply get as many role-fit discussions as I want, with the top 10 companies in my field (that are of course using starfighters.io), with my high score record that I can use for leverage/negotiation, without your boring programming-fundamentals interview wasting my days off?"

Can Starfighter execute on this? Probably too early to tell, looks hard to get started.
But can you see the potential? I think I can.

I think VLISP is, as well. VLISP (not the French one from the 80s, the other one, though the French one was interesting in its own right [1]), was a verified Scheme implementation written in a verified version of Pre-Scheme. Sweet research project, but I haven't seen any public releases of it :/

There are some papers about both here: http://library.readscheme.org/page8.html

[1]: http://www.artinfo-musinfo.org/en/issues/vlisp/index.html

VLISP was a precursor to Le-Lisp [2], which was massively popular and influential in Europe, and could run faster on commodity hardware than Lisp Machine Lisp on the Symbolics 3600.

[2]: http://lelisp.org/ (under construction, but with some useful links for the time being).

France was actually a hotbed of Lisp across the pond and, along with the UK, pretty invested in a European standard for Lisp, first EuLisp (which was an excellent language but somehow flopped unfortunately) and ISLISP (an ISO standard that's not so excellent -- basically a crippled version of Common Lisp -- and also pretty much flopped). I've been in talks with some of the Le-Lisp guys about the possibility of open-sourcing Le-Lisp now that it's no longer commercially viable -- fingers crossed! :)

P.S., if anyone from INRIA happens to be reading this: pretty please?? Jérôme agrees! :)

Keno - take a look at what I did in https://github.com/ScottPJones/StringUtils.jl (building on the backs of giants, such as Tom Breloff, Dahua Lin, and others, incorporating some code from Formatting.jl). It solves problems I've had both with string literals, formatting, and outputting funny Unicode characters (without having to use UTF-8 in my source code).

I really like your Cxx.jl, that does seem to answer the issue raised here (are there any good features in pybind11 though that aren't already in Cxx.jl? that might be a good source for ideas on how to improve Cxx.jl if not)

A trip through `perldoc perlvar` (http://perldoc.perl.org/perlvar.html) shows that, at the very least, Perl itself doesn't abide by this convention; for example, we have the scalar `$ARGV`, the list `@ARGV`, and the filehandle `ARGV`.

To be honest I wouldn't want to start investing my time into a language where people who proposed 1 based indexing are making design decisions.

Possibly because you're used to working with languages like C, C++, Java, Pascal, Javascript, Python, etc. But in the world of languages tied closely to scientific / mathematical programming (Matlab/Octave, R, etc.) 1-based indexing is the norm. If you'd "grown up" so to speak, in that world, you'd probably find 0-based indexing distasteful.
Compared to many of the writers for the stable of publications I wrote for, it was at the higher end. Perhaps a named writer could pull more in at a better publication, but this was a very frugal and profitable (for awhile at least) group of magazines.

As dragonwriter points out (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11690914), Haskell best practice in naming includes things like `head (x:xs) = x`, and I think that one would not accuse this definition of involving an ad hoc reinvention of half a type system.
You're not answering the question. What specifically is hard to understand? Formulas are just heuristics, not some ironclad objective proof of illegibility. Ironically enough, across two comments, you haven't been able to convey such substantiation.

You also haven't explained what makes it horrible rather than so-so, which is important, since it's fairly easy to make it worse. You really can't just count words and dots and call it a day.

And if someone isn't going to read an email, but ask you to repeat it verbally, they really don't belong in an office environment. I'm sure that doesn't describe you!
There are ways to deal with that in dynamically typed languages.

1) Common Lisp implementation use a compiler to detect typos, etc.

CL-USER 21 > (defun bar () (fo0))
BAR

CL-USER 22 > (compile *)

The following function is undefined:
FO0 which is referenced by BAR

2) In Common Lisp one can ask the running Lisp system for information about classes, symbols, functions, etc.

The use cases for renaming are also completely different. If you take for example a Java class and you want to rename an attribute and update the getter/setters you might want to use a 'tool'. In a dynamically typed language like Common Lisp, this is often not necessary because code generation is widely used and changes can be propagate that way.
I've genuinely never learned so much about a topic from an article that so blatantly buried the lede.

I'm actually more intrigued by the emergent complexity in highly regulated systems thanks to the build-up. It's fascinating seeing the layers of abstraction in stock ownership, to the point where I'm wondering if it's all ripe for disruption.

utilizing Cisco's free H.264 implementation

What difference does it make? It even seems backwards in some sense --- that writing code based on a freely available spec means you have to pay a license fee, yet someone else can give away their implementation freely? IANAL, so perhaps what we think of as the crazy and contorted bureaucratic mess that is the patent system would make sense in some strange and twisted way to those who designed it.
So, you wait around for an order at your limit or better. There is nothing that says your limit order must fill, even if no on is available.
And this is exactly the type of strawman that usually accompanies the "conspiracy theory" bashing. You've chosen the strongest-claiming narrative, which is easily knocked down.

The simplest scenario isn't that YubiKey 4 went closed source to support a government backdoor. It's that it's entirely for business reasons as they've said. And then after a few years, a few more layers of middle management, a few interesting users, and a little more TLA focus, Yubikey 6 quietly gets subverted.

Tangentially - I was pretty close to buying a Yubikey Neo for its form factor, but it didn't seem like I could modify/reload the OpenPGP applet, and documentation was scant as to how configurable it was. I really want the thing to operate as semi trusted hardware - passphrase, etc. Smartcard tech is nifty, but it seems like a non-hardened chip would be more worthwhile for the ability to iterate features/UI.
My point is not that you shouldn't verify OpenSSL code. My point is that you shouldn't pretend that you don't implicitly trust Intel/AMD (or Yubikey).

And for the record, Evan was somewhat justified in not saying I had anything to do with Teamware since I made his team look like idiots, ran circles around them. On the other hand, taking smoosh.c and removing my name from the history was dishonest and a douche move. Especially since not one person on that team was capable of rewriting it.

The fact remains that Teamware is just a productized version of NSElite which was written entirely by me.

Author here. They are very independent. In short: Cubes is OLAP framework for abstracting aggregate queries on top of a datastore, mostly through SQL. You define a so called multi-dimensional model – how the analysts see the world, and cubes knows how to project it to underlying data structures, preferably star or snowflake table schemas.

Bubbles was meant to be data integration library (also known as ETL) – get data from multiple sources, transform them and produce tables that are more suitable for further analysis or reporting.

Not so much free...
Not really. Kickstarter for a software play is a fool's errand in the first place.

Kickstarter works best as a marketplace for things that don't yet exist.

How does software that is "free" (I'm guessing they planned on taking a fee off of transactions) have a value proposition for people on kickstarter?

Their big mistake was not having the payments backend as a secondary stage goal. They should have built the chore tracking sans payment integration (or using a typical payment processor like Stripe/Dwolla/PayPal to process), and got that up and running with real people. If they had a proven model for everything short of the debit card, fundraising would have been much easier than "we promise guys, this is totally going to work."

As for why so little attention is paid to the human side, I think you said it, "We can't develop defenses the same way we can develop defenses in software." Not only that, but a human being who's brilliant in their role in your company, might be singularly unsuited to learning lessons about social engineering.

It kind of correlates with change of my job – since I started to work with my current employer I didn't have almost any time to work on neither of Data Brewery projects directly.

I really enjoyed working on Data Brewery and I eventually will resume my work as there is a lot to do. It is just put aside on the back burner. In the meantime I might only hope that someone would volunteer to at least handle bug fixes. I'm open to grant access to the repositories.

Homeless to Home
I haven't disappeared (even though somebody just might have preferred that I had done so), I still love the Julia language (even though I think there are some warts, some flab that can be lost, etc.), am still programming in Julia pretty uch 24/7, have been very active in trying to help people new to Julia (on Gitter, StackOverflow, Quora, julia-users), even teaching it to my kids, promoting it on Twitter, trying to help improve the language as much as I can without being able to submit issues or PRs on GitHub, and contributing what I can of my own work under MIT license on GitHub. I'm also attending JuliaCon 2016 this summer, will just have to see what my reception there will be.
Pascal (and Ada) actually expects you to specify the both the first and last index foo[1..10] or foo[0..9] are both valid arrays (though I believe 1 is the traditional first index) which is handy when you do run into situations where one or the other is a poor fit for an algorithm.
Exactly. They were too beholden to the goal of the debit card to just bump that to a phase 2 feature and finish out the core of the app (chore tracking). If they were able to get actual end users with regular usage and a sub-par payment model, they could have kept the momentum going to get to the goal.

The real takeaway here is get people using your stuff as early as possible, and add to that product incrementally - don't wait for everything to be perfect before launching (the enemy of good is perfect).

One way to look at it is, as you point out, our estimates of a measure are more accurate when you take more measures.

But the major issue with more data is Bayes' Law. For decades, running tests and collecting data was expensive, so we only ran them on people who were sick or suspected of being so. For prostate cancer, this data would tell us the probability that one would have a high PSA measurement given that they have prostate cancer (p(high PSA|prostate cancer). E.g., we know that 70% of prostate cancer patients have high PSA.

But, as Bayes' Law points out, this does NOT tell us the probability that you have prostate cancer given that you come in for a normal checkup, and we find a high PSA (p(prostate cancer|high PSA)). E.g., we do NOT know that 70% of people with high PSA have prostate cancer (absent other symptoms).

In order to determine that, you need to know the probability of having a high PSA in general. And the point is, NOBODY KNOWS these population meaures yet. Collecting lots of data is a good way to establish these baselines, but it's not clear it will help with diagnoses at all.

Another real example: we've gotten better and better at detecting tiny tumors early. But once we started looking at the data, we noticed that a large fraction of tiny tumors simply disappear over time. So, when the tumor is small enough, it's not clear whether we should treat it with surgery/radiation/chemo (which have their own risks/downsides) or just wait-and-see.

Fortran was meant to be a high-level language at the time, so chose 1-based indexing. When C and lower-level languages came on the scene they reverted it back to zero-based, since this is more appropriate at the lower hardware level. CBLAS is zero-based.

Intel's Math Kernel Library, which is a performant math library hand-tuned for Intel processors is zero-based in MKL-CBLAS.

It all depends on what you are familiar with, and staying consistent in use. I just use zero-based indexing in J and C and my numerical low-level work.
You don't get to say what people like about something unless you let it out into the world. There are so many cases where people built and released something just to find out people love it for the reasons they never expected. This guy makes it sound like he knows why he failed but it's far from it. The biggest reason they failed was because they never released anything. The first thing you learn as soon as you release a product into real world is that people say one thing but do another--so many people say they love something but they never use it. Only way to get around is to release it in public and find the early adopters who WILL actually use it (instead of just saying they like it).
