> Linux destroyed so many good things

Would you prefer Windows? Because that's where the world was heading in the 90s. History happened, and what it shows is that Linux arose at a time when EVERYONE thought that Windows was going to steal Unix's throne. It's amazing you have such negativity about a piece of software.

It does nothing of the sort! If anyone comes away with this conclusion I would say the article has failed entirely. Which, btw, is my whole point: there's no over-arching intuitive explanation of what generative models are, why they're interesting or even what concrete problem they're solving.

As a followup to the thing I went through: I did confront my coworker. I spent a few weeks feeling like I couldn't bring it up because it's so small. This particular lady had always treated me funny so I didn't expect the conversation to go well. She said this was how they did it at her house (separating mugs) and I shouldn't care about it. I was the only dude on the staff so it just felt like I was being isolated from the group with mugs! I felt immature for even bringing it up. She stopped doing it for a while but when she switched shifts I'd get in the next day and see she'd done it again... it still makes me irrationally angry.

Now I just don't drink coffee, haha. XD

It's not true that the economic system requires endless growth. The EU and Japan haven't grown much in recent times and life goes on. The electorate quite like growth though and will tend to vote for governments that provide it.

Ah nice.

I saw a pitch for GraphQL a few months ago and they sold it to me as query language layer between my APIs and clients.
In case anybody is wondering how this happened, it looks like the attack is exploiting the "recursive call via default function" vulnerability [1].

2. During the meeting, write the important points on the agenda. Use a highlighter or underline for action points.

3. Take a photo of minutes with phone. Email everyone immediately.

Additionally, for larger/more traditional teams, assign tasks in whatever task tracker is being used. Shouldn't take more than 10 minutes.

Poloniex seems to be the exchange with the largest volume (I somehow doubt anyone is buying long-positions larger than that) - so it looks like they could at least cash out several thousand bitcoins - although it's been a while since I've been on their site and if they offer API access some of those positions might be automatically diverted as the price moves.

Yep, hence me specifying the old one. ART cleans up a lot of things: no more 8-16KB main thread stacks, better code gen via AoT, fully precise collection, moving GC. It has some really ingenious features as well, like switching to a compacting GC with better throughput and space efficiency when an app goes in the background and latency is irrelevant. The switch to ART as default was actually in 5.0 (Lollipop).

It's almost enough to make me stop cursing Android developers and their children's children. Unfortunately version updates for non-Google devices are rare and everybody is still stuck supporting the majority of devices that are pre-Lollipop. Also it didn't make the APIs any better >:(
Ask HN: Resources for web design inspiration?
Hi all

I spend a fair amount of my time designing/developing front-end experiences for our start-up and love some of the innovative tutorials / resources posted on Codrops[0] — they have inspired me no end. As a bit of a 'hacker' (not a web dev by training), the depth of the Codrops articles are immensely helpful at improving my web skills.

I haven't managed to find anywhere else with such a high calibre of curated guides / code examples and was wondering what you guys/girls use when you want some fresh ideas for web design?

Thanks!

I'm not expert on etherium code (just started looking at it now) but it looks like the DAO didn't look for similar issues with the latest security fix.

https://github.com/slockit/DAO/commit/f01f3bd8df5e1e222dde62...

reward = rewardAccount.balance < reward ? rewardAccount.balance : reward;

+ paidOut[_account] += reward;
if (!rewardAccount.payOut(_account, reward))
throw;
- paidOut[_account] += reward;
+
return true;
}

but if you grep payOut then you see a similar broken pattern where it modifies the state after the call instead of before it.

if(_toMembers) {
if (!DAOrewardAccount.payOut(dao.rewardAccount(), reward))
throw;
}
else {
if (!DAOrewardAccount.payOut(dao, reward))
throw;
}
DAOpaidOut[msg.sender] += reward;

but apparently this is not how the DAO is being drained because there are no rewards at the moment.

this is a good summary of the problem:

https://blog.ethereum.org/2016/06/10/smart-contract-security...

and should scare you about the security of smart contracts base on etherium.

EDIT: mm.. maybe it is safe because the addresses dao/dao.rewardAccount() can't be controlled by attackers

> - At a high level, what does this attack actually consist of?

At a high level, The Dao is like Pokemon. Casual observation suggests that it may be a more or less consistent world internally and that a lot of people are very excited about it. A few of those people even claim to fully understand how it works. But there's a lot of fat guys with acne blindly spending on Pokemon cards thinking it's a wise investment.

Unfortunately, the fans are so excited that they jump up and down clapping all the time and forget to breath while they're talking. This makes it very difficult to understand what they're trying to say. If you manage to understand, you will hear something like:

"Most Pokémon have only one type. However, EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua introduced Dual-type Pokémon, which have two different types. For a while, all existing dual-type cards had either Darkness or Metal as their secondary type, with the exception of certain Pokémon cards with the Dual Armor Poké-Body, such as Medicham from the EX Crystal Guardians expansion, which can have multiple types when certain energy are attached."

Now what possibly happened during the attack is that Pokemon cards are spontaneously catching fire! This is particularly troubling, because Pokemon just came out with a super-duper fire defence card and told everyone to buy it for lots and lots of money. And everybody did.

Now while all of this is clearly very troubling for heavily invested Pokemon fans. But in the grand scheme of things, well a butterfly flapped it's wings in China: there's a theoretical possibility that this affects anything, but in practice no one but fans cares.

> - How does ethereum "go missing" in a distributed blockchain, where you can see all the transaction endpoints?

1. keep the exp you earned
2. lose some money
3. wind back at the pokemon center at the pokemon league
4. have to start over on the e4

> Who loses and who gains from an attack of this scale?

Pokemon fans, obviously.

> How severe could this attack be - does it pose an existential threat to The DAO (or Ethereum, more broadly)?

Synchronoise when used by Pokémon like Umbreon. It deals damage to every Pokémon that shares the user's type, so in Umbreon's case it hits every Dark type Pokémon. Only it doesn't, because it's a Psychic move and always fails.
>Is sustainability even possible anymore?

Yeah sure. The only thing we're really unsustainable on is burning fossil fuels. Solar is growing exponentially and at the current rate would be able to replace most fossil fuel use in a few decades.

Agreed - this is a problem with the DAO, not with the ethereum network itself.
Thank you for clarifying it. I agree everything hasn't been fully thought out, and there's lots of questions that needs to be answered. This is why we welcome any feedback people may have as it will help us clarify things.
If they all arrived at the same time each night (dinner) then new entrants may simply think that the others just got there and simply haven't changed the channel to the normal channel yet, perhaps they didn't see the remote or were in a conversation when they entered, so by grabbing the remote and changing the channel to the normal program people aren't disrespecting the other people who really aren't watching the program but are simply laughing at the most recent entrants.

Also some seat belts are non-obvious, especially in a fancy sports car, and people help other people with seat belts all the time. Perhaps the driver has given a lot of people rides in his fancy car and has seen many people struggle with it. Perhaps x seconds didn't seem long to her but to him, who knows how it works, it seemed like she was having a problem.
I've held a similar opinion, but lately with the run up in the Ethereum price I was worried that I was missing something other people saw. Apparently this isn't a vulnerability in Ethereum itself, but it may still have serious consequences for the network.

There are plenty of proposals to add complexity to the Bitcoin system. I hope that people promoting those proposals pay attention to this example of the problems complexity will inevitably cause.
It is misleading that the HN title suggests the author is Martin Fowler, but this is not the case for this guest article. The actual author is Mike Roberts, the article is hosted on Fowler's site.
There is no doubt that centralization is more efficient than decentralization. The problem comes when developers or other stakeholders don't understand or underplay this feature.

Also, centralization/decentralization is a a scale, not discrete boolean values.

It will definitely be interesting to see how this plays out. Good luck to everyone involved.

If there is consensus that this is a problem and shouldn't be allowed, then there presumably is also consensus for even a hard fork if necessary. As an outside observer, I don't see why this is a demonstration that the decentralised system can be manipulated, is not fault tolerant, or censored.

Since if this is a problem and will be fixed, it will presumably be by consensus. We already know that with consensus the entire system can be changed (or forked, if you like). This is no secret and there was never any claim otherwise. This is exactly what they mean by decentralised.

What should worry you is if a change happens without consensus, but there is no such indication here.
Apparently all that talk of decentralisation goes out the window when you're losing money. Ha
You are right, it is just democracy at work, but I'm not sure that that is different from a group trying preserve its identity.

The interesting thing is that most people assume that democracy is inclusive, because everybody has a voice, but in this case, the inclusive thing to do would have been to watch something that only one person wanted to watch, to make them as a minority, comfortable, whereas the democratic thing to do is to ignore the opinion of the minority as not relevant to the views of the group.

Where the discussion becomes difficult, I guess, is when the dividing line between majority and minority coincides with that of privileged (PS. I hate what this word has come to mean) and unprivileged.

This is astonishing. The company behind the DAO knew that the bug in question affected withdrawals from the DAO rewards balance and wrote a blog post saying this isn't an issue because it's empty, but either didn't bother checking whether withdrawals of of people's original capital through the splitDAO mechanism (which is possible) had the same bug, or did and pretended it didn't exist and everyone's funds were fine.
Things have, for better or worse, changed pretty dramatically, at least from my experiences. I've been in Russia with my partner for about 3 years now, and we've lived in St. Petersburg, Moscow, and for a brief time, in Pereslavl.

While the apartments aren't huge by comparison to most houses in the US, they are pretty comfortable, though the quality will vary depending on the particular building and region you live in. Most of the buildings appear to be the same that were built during the USSR, it's just the internals were remodeled with more modern amenities.

It can take a little getting used to, living in somewhat cramped quarters, but for me anyways, I've always had fairly small places to live growing up, whether it was living in a 3 bedroom with 6 people in college, my cheapo first apartment, I guess it's more just something you get used to. Even now, my partner and I live with her mom/aunt in a 3 bedroom apartment in SPB and, aside from occasionally stumbling across each other in the kitchen and funny battles for the bathroom, we get by just fine.
> if Ethereum successfully rejects calls for a hard fork that will damage it severely in the public's eye, but will be the ultimate proof of concept.

I guess if Ethereum makes a hard fork, that will damage it much more - basically, it makes the "smart" contracts unenforcable.

Unfortunately that is exactly what I think when looking at a lot of publications in that field. Many books about OS technologies are just printed out manual pages, others look like advertising for consulting. Always make me a bit suspicious.

Ah, I see: the money isn't missing, it's just gone to an unknown party (the hacker) - so we're practically watching a bank heist in progress, where the "good guys" are trying to slow down the robber's getaway vehicle (by flooding the transaction network).

I looked into this a bit more, and it seems very likely that the attackers are exploiting a recursive call - from https://live.ether.camp/account/304a554a310c7e546dfe434669c6..., I can see that most of the transactions are internal, with the API reporting monotonically increasing call-depth values. It seems like there are three recursive calls involved here: one call in the DAO, a second call to transfer money to the attacker, and a third "dummy" call which appears to transfer nothing (but presumably kicks off the next recursion into the DAO).

The scary thing, to me, is that someone else could figure out the bug right now and start exploiting it - presumably, all the relevant code is open source.

Unexpected Excess of Giant Planets in Star Cluster
Also from the complaint something that really stood out me:

"34. In a March 21, 2014 TED interview with journalist Charlie Rose regarding Project
Loon, Google co-founder Larry Page claimed that Google had been thinking of the idea of
launching balloons for “five years or more.” During the course of the interview, Mr. Rose asked
“But are you at the mercy of the wind?” to which Mr. Page responded: “Yeah, but it turns out, that
we did some weather simulations which probably hadn’t really been done before, and if you
control the altitude of the balloons, which you can do by pumping air into them or other ways, you
can actually control roughly where they go, and so we think we can build a worldwide mesh of
these balloons over the whole planet.”

35. As set forth above, however, Space Data had reduced this theory and simulations to
actual practice and had conducted over 15,000 flights and accrued over 100,000 flight hours of
such constellations in order to understand the wind patterns by the time Larry Page and other
individuals from Google had visited Space Data. This concept of “if you control the altitude you
can actually control roughly where they go” was something Space Data demonstrated in February
2008 to Larry Page personally with over a dozen balloons in the sky which were actively flying at
Space Data’s network control center."

The comment from Page seems a little disingenuous if the statement from Space Data is true, of course it's a complaint so everything needs to be taken with a grain of salt but if it's true that seems pretty damning.

The vast majority of web sites on the internet today don't need much infrastructure, they're low traffic blogs, web sites for the hair salon down the street, or a landing page for a non software corporation. Facebook fills this role for a lot users, and they in turn sacrifice their data and privacy to a souless corporation. Don't forget the $billions dollars industry of shared hosting providers out there. A lot of businesses still pay $10 a month for a shared server, mysql, and php.

Why should this be the case? Why should it cost anything to have an online presence today? Why shouldn't users own their data? In my personal opinion, these types of FAAS (function as a service) and mBAAS (mobile Backend as a service) the article is talking are an enabling technology in this regard.

So... has she even considered that her question was silly because everybody assumed that everybody can change the channel without asking it? like when an adult in a meeting of adults ask for permission to go to the toilet. That usually makes people laugh because it's a child thing.

And about Mike, the one that changed the channel for the joke, has she thought that he was well known for doing that kind of jokes and because of it he was confident doing them and people didn't mind at all?

Maybe OP got personal because of her own insecurities and didn't even bother to consider that her interpretation was wrong.
That depends on the nature of the data, I think. If the data has a lot of sequential, sparse, hierarchical statistical dependencies (like source code, text or data streams), they might be better modeled by an LSTM. If you have high-dimensional dependencies (like images, where each pixel tends to spatially depends on many other pixels), then an autoencoder or some undirected model might be the right choice.
