She left VMware in 2008, that's only two years after AWS launched and two years before Microsoft Azure. Maybe with the benefit of hindsight "cloud" seems like an obvious next step but I imagine it wasn't as clear in 2008ish - even Amazon didn't move its retail operation to AWS until two years later[1].

For a remarkable fictional exposition of this, read The Confidence Man by Herman Melville one of the truly great American novels. Many of the examples described in this article are brought to life, and used to generate a very funny, strange and interesting kind of literary and intellectual experience.

The book doesn't have one main character -- instead, it describes a riverboat trip where various avatars of the confidence man appear one after the other, although at one point two avatars appear at the same time and try to con each other. It was written in the mid-19th century but so advanced that Melville couldn't get it published -- it finally got into print about 50 years after he died.

Plus, if you want to understand the historical roots of Donald Trump, try the chapter in this book called "Some account of a man of questionable morality, but who, nevertheless, would seem entitled to the esteem of that eminent English moralist who said he liked a good hater."

This is their opening line: "OpenAI’s mission is to build safe AI, and ensure AI's benefits are as widely and evenly distributed as possible."

Real AI isn't coming anytime soon, so it's better to focus on the market imbalance of Google et al's who are rolling up all the smart AI people and technology and have a huge head start. Having more companies exploring more business models that aren't ad based and hopefully are privacy first or non-profit would be much healthier.
A very good timeline for the Lisa using screen captures is:

http://www.folklore.org/StoryView.py?story=Busy_Being_Born.t...

This contradicts some accounts which say that the Lisa was a text based minicomputer before the Xerox visit.

In practice both the Lisa and the Macintosh projects started in 1979. This is pretty amazing when you consider that the floppy disk for the Apple II had just been made available less than a year before and Visicalc had not yet been released. That the Apple III was in development at this time seems pretty reasonable, but these more advanced machines were pretty ambitious.

Jef Raskin was very familiar with the Xerox PARC work since he had visited there when he was a professor at UCLA before he joined Apple to work on documentation. He didn't like the mouse or windows, but had always been interested in a fully graphical computer. His ideas for the Macintosh can be seen in his later Canon Cat machine. Steve Jobs didn't like his project and kept trying to kill it. Jef thought that if Steve could see the Alto he would "get it" and leave the Macintosh group alone. That is indeed what happened. But not long after that Steve was kicked out of the Lisa project by the board who wanted someone with more experience to be in charge of such an important project. Steve joined the Macintosh project and reshaped it as a "Lisa Jr", which caused Jef to leave Apple.

In the Lisa timeline you can see the effect of the second visit to PARC (both were in 1979) in the form of windows, though these didn't stay like the Smalltalk ones for very long (this style reappeared in the BeOS for some reason). And the effect of the launch of the Xerox Star can be seen in 1981 in the form of icons which look very much like the ones on the Star.

The Smalltalk project at Apple was started in October 1980 and lasted 18 months. The system first started running on the Lisa in April 1981.
I think you're thinking of use cases that would definitely be stopped outside of ethereum world:

You can do things like this, but the law either already covers this, or will adjust. If you gain money, you're expected to pay the usual tax on that gain. First few may get away with it, but once it becomes popular, audits will start.

I lied, i have one more minor horror story with buying too. I bought my rMBP off of ebay for a pretty good price. A few months after I bought it, it stopped booting and would show a grey screen with a question mark on a folder (means there is no boot drive to load from). When I took it into the apple store, I found out that this laptop had been dropped right before I bought it and had to have like $1500 worth of repairs as it was having the same problem.

So not only do you have to worry about scammers, you have to deal with a market for lemons [1]. (Quite ironic now that I think about it as that is one of my favorite economic articles)

I'm going to say this - I think Trump supporters are definitely more vocal/outspoken. Kind of skews the response.

If you could see upvotes on comments here, I think you'd see a more accurate picture of support strength.
I feel like Sam really misrepresented Trump's views, but that's expected from someone who's opposed to him.

At this point, nothing will convince me to not vote for Trump. I'm too concerned about national security and my fellow (legal) Americans losing their jobs.

Glad you like it. Let us know if you have any feedback regarding the tools. I'm one of the devs on the team.
I was talking about the algorithm. Let's say bcrypt is considered insecure in 5 years (even with 100 iterations) and you are supposed to use another hash algorithm. Is your code and database able to handle that? If so, great but I don't think many people implement this and depending on your code, this can get difficult.

Your "good quality food" obviously excludes things that are heavy, bulky, and frozen. That pretty much means dried food.

(potatos are heavy, and potato chips/crisps are bulky, so you'll have to settle for instant mashed potato powder)

That's not what "legal" means. Just like killing people without leaving traces to find you is not "effectively legal". It may simply be not worth pursuing because of gain/effort trade off.
Thanks for the detailed answers!

I'm maintaining a web spreadsheet that supports 10s of thousands of rows and have spent a lot of time on optimization. We have to handle some richer content (i.e. contact pictures) so simple spans aren't always sufficient.

The way we're doing the rendering each cell is its own div and we reuse divs as they scroll out of the viewport (changing their top position). Previously I was using innerHTML on each div but I found that constructing the dom nodes manually (document.createTextNode, etc) and then doing a dom.appendChild turned out to he slightly faster (full "wipe" = 16% lower render time). I then cached those prebuilt DOM nodes and then doing a full wipe ended up being 3x faster.

So there was a small speedup on initial scroll and then when you're scrolling around and seeing rows/cells that you've seen before there's a large speedup. Not sure if that's helpful, but maybe worth investigating.

And yes, I know what you mean about scroll events not getting called synchronously. There seems to be a difference in how some browsers handle scrolling vs painting. I actually filed a bug with Chrome (https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=619796...) as they introduced an issue in Jan 2015 that I just discovered.

And yes, I really don't want to implement custom scrollbars so I'm hoping to get optimized enough to not need them... we'll see though.
We will sort this out soon, sorry.
> We definitely need something new.

Well, if only there would have been some ideas around…

like TTA[0] or Dataflow architecture[1]

These are just things that come to mind when thinking about an architecture like this. You'll probably still need something new, but this, instead of some bottle neck computing would be my starting point.

Admittedly I'm still waiting for processors like thisat consumer prices, but those ideas seem to have been forgotten at a time when I was still figuring out how to tie shoelaces and such.

I highly doubt temperate or even tropical forest canopies will prevent water from reaching ground level. Gravity does not work that way.

Trees shade soil reducing evaporation levels. Trees also significantly reduce surface winds further reducing evaporation. Yes trees do potentially use more water which is exactly what you want, what is the purpose of full aquifers flowing into the sea ?

In Australia removal of trees has lead to increased salinity levels affecting 2 Million hectares (In WA alone) of arable land degrading vast swathes of it rendering it unusable for both modern agriculture and pre-agricultural "natural" use. This is precisely because the trees kept the high-salinity water table below surface root levels.
As others have said, it's a con. I have a theory that when Satoshi gave up working on bitcoin he discarded his keys out of principle. That way there would be no way for anyone to get access to those first mined coins. It is the only fair approach.

I can't be the only person who has surmised this. So if you are a con man and you also have this idea, what you start doing is pushing the boundaries a bit and testing to see if you get any push back. If not, push farther. You won't get ridiculous press until you publicly say "I am Satoshi" and until that point, you can always back away and say, "Oh it's all just a bad joke. Sorry!"

As soon as you say "I am Satoshi and I have access to these BTC. Lend me money." and you get no argument, you know you are golden. The keys are gone. It's a risk, but a slight one if he had been pushing here and there to try and provoke a response.

The one issue I'm interested in is the PGP signed email stating that the other Satoshi (Dorian) is not the Bitcoin Satoshi. I'd really like to understand what key was used for that. Imagine if that message were actually a fake... it would have made a great test to see if the real Satoshi would respond.

The editor is essentially a virtual list - sliding buffer of DOM elements - only visible lines are represented in the DOM. That's probably the only reasonable way of doing such editors effectively in modern browsers.
Drawback of this approach: hard to integrate platform scrollbar to that, quite a lot of JS code to support virtualization, etc.

Speaking about syntax/text highlighting in HTML ...

In Sciter I've added an option [1] to mark character runs without creating tons of heavy weight DOM elements (The Monaco uses <span>'s for that). Plus an option to style those run marks in CSS:

plaintext > text::mark(keyword) { color: blue; }
plaintext > text::mark(symbol) { color: brown; }

Editor's DOM model in Sciter's case is a flat list of <text> elements representing each line.

<plaintext>
<text>first line</text>
<text>first line</text>
...
</plaintext>

In fact such marks are needed not only for syntax colorizing but for other things like misspelling
highlighting, text found highlighting and other cases where you need to highlight text but DOM change is highly non-desirable.

Dose-dependent mesothelioma induction by intraperitoneal administration of multi-wall carbon nanotubes in p53 heterozygous mice

" Here, we report a dose-response study; three groups of p53 heterozygous mice (n = 20) were given a single intraperitoneal injection of 300 μg/mouse of μm-MWCNT (corresponding to 1 × 108 fibers), 30 μg/mouse (1 × 107) or 3 μg/mouse (1 × 106), respectively, and observed for up to 1 year. The cumulative incidence of mesotheliomas was 19/20, 17/20 and 5/20, respectively."

Scientists are still primitive in the understanding of the human brain, but as you can see, one factor in your behavior and personality (ie. motivation, persistence, ease-of-anger, compulsion, etc) is the complex relationship between neurotransmitters and their receptors (and millions of other factors of which we have no clue) These relationships are largely genetic, they are inherited to us.

I have something to add of my own: Every characteristic about us, every move or action that we make, has a relationship (or is a byproduct) of some sort of gene(s) working together. You can even call it FATE if you want.

So the 2 programming languages I am comfortable at are Ruby and JavaScript (which most boot camps teach). I am familiar enough with Python and Java to understand and write code, but wouldn't feel comfortable taking them on for a Google interview. And as for Ruby, I don't see myself using it professionally in the future, so it made sense to double-down on JavaScript. It definitely positively impacted the JS code that I write for work.
I think this is going to be a massive part of the new energy economy. I'm picturing the power grid becoming less of an 'energy retailer' and more of an 'energy broker', with each property's power control module placing bids on energy when it needs to import and offering sale of energy when it has a surplus. There will then be a flat rate (or close to, probably tiered based on peak consumption) for access to the grid, and the power utility company becomes a power grid maintenance company rather than a generation company.

Yes but what percentage of competent Dylan scholars can get reliable paid work for their knowledge.
You can't really know how future proof it is, though. As far as I know, nobody has proven it to be unbreakable.
Right know we can't break it, we can only brutal force it but maybe tomorrow a mathematician finds some properties to calculate all possible inputs of a certain length for the hash within a reasonable time. Or maybe they find another way that doesn't include brutal force (statistics, ...).

What I'm saying is that passwords are hard in general (to store, to enforce policies properly, ...) and just because bcrypt is "unbreakable" right now, doesn't mean it has to be in 5 years.

Your last paragraph describes nicely what needs to be done, but is your code ready for that? Maybe your database password/salt column only allows X characters, now you need to rebuild the database. Maybe something else expects the passwords to have that specific format (another micro service, some script, ...). Re-hashing a password can be hard if this possibility was not considered from day one.
Except I never approached Google. They approached me. They sent me an email with a header that said "You are app-solutely fabulous." (I know, so dorky it's suspicious) Do you think it's arrogant, disrespectful or crazy for me to take on the challenge head on? I learned a great deal from the process and I'm certainly not forbidden from interviewing again in the future. But this is just my approach to things.
It are right that it is a good idea to leave a job without saying negative things about them.

The line "I felt like it was time to move on" is an adequate reason for leaving, and it's not something anyone is going to argue with. After all, leaving is a personal decision. In addition to that, three years is an above average length of time to stay in a technology job.

If someone directly asks you what you don't like about working there (such as in an exit interview), simply state that you don't want to answer the question. If they push you, simply state that you have no comment. It's a good idea to decline to answer all the questions in an exit interview. They don't have the right to force you to answer such questions.

If you a nervous about the initial conversation with your boss, kick off the resignation by sending a short email to HR saying that you wish to resign and you are giving your notice from that day (or whenever you prefer). HR will fill you in on what the procedure is and notify all the relevant people for you.

This reads like a comment from someone who didn't read the article. To call this piece fawning? And the author provides plenty of reasons for why Wright might not want to sign a message even if he could, and they're interesting and layered reasons that require going into detail into the warped psychology of a man who appears just crazy enough to be Satoshi and refuse to prove it, and just crazy enough to be willing to pull off an incredible elaborate hoax even knowing that he won't get away with it in the end.

Granted, it's a LOT of reading - over 35,000 words. But why is the top comment on HN (at time of this comment) on an article of this length and breadth one that doesn't seem to have anything to do with the article's actual specific content?

The point of the piece isn't that herein lies the truth -- this is simply the author's experiences (months of them!) laid bare. You could sum it up in this quote from the piece: "The reason poets dislike each other's books is because they seem wrong, false – a kind of lie. 'If you were telling the truth you would be writing the same poems as me.'"
