Why Your Small Business Needs to Be on the Cloud?
Today, the internet is among the most crucial aspects of every business – be it small, medium or big. It has made business people’s life easier and simpler. Multiple mobile and web-based apps, social media, web presence and cloud computing have transformed many businesses.See More @ http://www.biz2credit.in/blog/2016/07/18/small-business-cloud-yet/
> But if this happens to many banks concurrently, and nobody understands why, would central banks be able to save the situation?

Why not? If we restrict ourselves to sovereign, first world central banks (i.e. the Fed, the BoE, the ECB, et cetera), a bank holiday (to reconcile records) followed by a liquidity injection would not only be expected, it would have direct precedent from FDR's bank holiday on 6 March 1933.
Financial systems have been hacked since the beginning and now the hacking is getting worse.

Regulations will make it progressively harder for newcomers to compete in the marketplace, executive pay will keep rising, corporations will get bigger. Owners of capital won't be able to trust outsiders so they will only recruit their family and close friends into well-paid executive positions. Advertising will completely dominate consumer behaviour; small businesses will disappear; once virtual reality takes over, corporations will make sure that customers forget that these small companies even exist.

Machines will replace people in the workplace. The rich won't care because at that point; because of social tensions and advertising, rich people will have grown to literally hate the poor and want them dead.
pi3 is quite a bit faster:

Not 2x faster, but pretty close! It's also quad core, though the above benchmarks, particularly sunspider, are absolutely single thread / core perf.
> Constantly giving people feedback that says "your work wasn't good enough for me as is"

That's what I mean by giving reasonable feedback. Constantly being a dick is definitely counterproductive.

> resentment and feelings of not being appreciated

That is a symptom of a broken framework for managing a team, not a result of giving natural, reasonable feedback to the output of a person.

Depends when you used ZSNES. There have been times in its history when it's been broken on some very popular games, eg. Yoshis Island, Chrono Trigger, DKC2.

The really frustrating thing was that the bugs wouldn't show up until about halfway through the game, usually when some nonstandard transparency effect was applied. Right at the point when you'd really invested in the game, very annoying.

The other common one was timing problems (ultimately, they're all timing bugs.) Starfox for example used to run something like 20% faster than on hardware. It looked fine, and if you grew up with the PAL version you might assume that the speed increase was just down to version differences, but the game was unplayable.

The lesson we learned is that sometimes getting back to the roots (AWK) and using simple methods (regex) can be extremely effective. You are of course right that "what I can't do no-one can" is a bad thing.
Neat! Thanks for sharing.
Building a Slack Clone with Vue.js and Kuzzle.io
This does surprise me (I never studied computer science). Isn't Theory A mostly about efficiency of implementation? In the real world, surely the ability to model a problem domain well and to map it into code neatly (Theory B) is going to be more valuable than the ability to make some particular implementation super-efficient?
This post is much better than the article. The manner in which you deliver criticism is very important. When criticising somebody on their method I find it is much nicer to say "I like to do it like this..." They will then be encouraged to try your method and they might like it. You are not attacking their method.

I find it unfortunate that most people take criticism as an attack, but they do and choice of language and delivery can soften the blow and bypass their defences.

> "I continue to follow common practice here and use "VM" as a synonym for either virtual machine or abstract machine; the distinction between the two is unimportant here."

The distinction between them is important. If you want definitions that separate the two, virtual machines rely on runtime emulation of said machine, abstract machines are machines that only exist as a specification. You may not like those definitions but they line up with common uses for these terms.

If you want to argue that intermediate representations that compilers use for optimisations can be virtual machines go ahead, but to me that waters down the definition of what a virtual machine is.

Here in NL there's been chip and pin for forever, and 'signing' for a transaction is laughable from a Dutch perspective. Chip + PIN is everywhere, to the point that many merchants don't even accept cash anymore, too much of a liability and hassle. Nor do most places accept credit cards... Chip+PIN is authenticated and secure (online, no offline mode is supported), the merchant fees are low (€0.05/transaction or lower), and the transaction is immediate and not reversible... no dealing with chargebacks.

If you can find a place that takes credit cards, the dutch cards will also use Chip+PIN. Non-PIN credit cards (mostly americans) can swipe, but they'll almost certainly have to enter their PIN... In the many times I've used my US CC in NL I've never had to sign.

Now that RFID transactions are becoming more popular it will be interesting to see how this all develops.
You know... This sounds awfully familiar. ;-)

Ask HN: Is there a mismatch between Math in German and English?
I had a bunch of math at university in Germany, but after I looked into functional programming at the level of Haskell, I felt completely lost.

Monad (Monade) seems to be a philosophical concept in German and Monoids have a completely different name (Halbgruppe -> Semi Group)

Also, if I enter some terms into translators I don't get meaningful translations at all.

Is there a mismatch or is it simply, that most mainstream media (google.com, leo.org, etc) don't bother with such concepts and make them harder to find?
If you want a foundation for computing, may I humbly suggest imperative algorithms in the integer RAM model. That gives correct answers to questions like "what's the time and space complexity of quicksort in the average and worst case?" Good luck answering that with lambda calculus, or Turing machines for that matter.
Curiously timed question because when the 4.7 kernel release announcement was sent out I googled one of the contributs on a whim and found that they worked for a company that builds embedded systems. And this guy is contributing to the 4.7 kernel. ;)

But that's just one guy, one company. I believe most companies like the stability of using something old and well proven.
Okay, then answer me why it makes sense to waste one's time on storage contortions in Docker on Linux when a different technology offers an enterprise tested solution? In SmartOS all I have to do is instantiate a docker branded zone, and the storage it uses is automatically permanent, no extra steps needed like on Linux.

To be fair, while I do understand the point of the article, it does focus on stuff that isn't really accurate (eg. shampoo, soap, etc). It seems a regurgitation of some documentaries about how society advanced with muslims, while in fact most - if not all - achievements where done before the rise of islam. Muslims aren't an ethnicity, they are practicioners of a specific religion. I'd argue that the fall of the persian empire (for which muslim fanatics contributed to) caused more damage to every aspect of society than all 1500 years of "muslim innovations" combined.
On the long term issue of unemployment, instead of talking about how jobs were lost to robots, we should focus on how to make robots work for us, the rest of the population, not just Amazon. People should invest in these technologies so they get to share in the dividends.

Otherwise, there is a second path - vertically integrated communities, with their own farming, schooling, health and manufacturing, so that people have a job and provide for themselves.
"Semi group" exists in English, too. Monoids are simply special semi groups.

I don't know what you're expecting. I certainly don't see a mismatch between languages.

If you're confused by terminology, enter a term in the German Wikipedia and click on "English". You'll see the equivalent lemma in English.
Peter Thiel's Heroic Political Fantasies
This is a great project but why is the example image a raster png rather than an svg?
In my experience, business logic is often relatively easy to express in pure FP. Where things start to get trickier is the boilerplate and boundaries, e.g. I'm writing a Rails app at the moment where the business logic is in pure functions, but the boundaries with other systems like ActiveRecord and external webservices tends to end up being more object-oriented.

For example, the ruby library I use to connect to webservices is very OO, and requires you to derive from its base class to build each webservice client.

This is of course very natural in Ruby, but I do see lots of OO in Scala libraries too (e.g. Spray).
> And how often does that occur in practice for most of the programs people write? Even the most hardcore Haskell programmer isn't going around proving theorems about their modules beyond what the type system can provide for free (and that is true of statically typed OO also).

"What the type system can provide for free" isn't static. Part of working in that kind of language is structuring your code such that important properties end up being proved by the type system.

It rarely rises to the level of a "theorem", but "is this piece of code equivalent to this other piece of code?" is what I'd venture to suggest programmers spend most of their day asking, and Haskell-like languages make that easier to answer.
Junior Front end Development weekly link sharing #22
Well, I was going to downvote, but figured it's better to comment.

> Ugh. This reeks of "safe space" nonsense.

What? I have very little idea what you are talking about, so I looked it up on wikipedia: "In educational institutions, safe-space (or safe space), safer-space, and positive space originally were terms used to indicate that a teacher, educational institution or student body does not tolerate anti-LGBT violence, harassment or hate speech, thereby creating a safe place for all lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender students."

Which frankly sounds like a good idea, but doesn't seem like it has much to do with this blog post about managing members of your team.

> Part of working in a team is receiving comments and criticism from others. If you take these negatively and as attacks to you, rather than collective construction towards the final goal, then you have a problem and need to consider changing job.

Yes, except the point of the blog post is that managers should be aware that comments and criticism they would have been happy to offer as co-workers suddenly start to look a lot more like commands when they are coming from a boss. It's a good idea for new managers to be aware of this changed dynamic.
It's the existing social graph that's important.

Some other points you made aren't the main drivers of success:

People pay for everything with cash They also have bank cards and Alipay, and had them before WeChat payments existed.

Sometimes you don't bring enough cash with you Yeah, and I used to use Alipay to reimburse friends, before WeChat payments.

Paying for each others' meals WeChat doesn't help with that. It helps you pay for your own portion, as you can use WeChat to reimburse the person who paid the restaurant.

People don't have credit cards I'm not sure that _credit_ is relevant. Everyone has a chip+pin bank card (what I'd call a debit card in the UK). People have been paying with bank cards in restaurants for many years.

You made one point which is important: "Everyone and their mothers has a WeChat (I've never met anyone that doesn't... it's more ubiquitous than Facebook in the US)"

But practically everyone has an Alipay account as well. The thing is, I have 100s of contacts on WeChat (which I added for messaging) but only 10-15 on Alipay. It's the existing social graph, not just the number of users, that's important.
I think (and have experienced from both sides) that feedback is very important for growth and for mental wellbeing as well. Feedback should be continuous though, yearly/twice a year is not enough. Feedback should be coming from everyone you work with, not only your manager. Feedback helps you calibrate yourself and also helps in setting goals that are relevant.

That said, you should definitely work on your self-consciousness so you can start being more objective about yourself, but that can be a loooong journey.

It's also important to know the context of the feedbacks you're getting. If you pissed off someone once and that person gives you a negative feedback just because of one situation, know that it might not be unbiased. Also ask for specific examples when getting feedback. It should be a live, active communication rather some abstracted-out isolated way of communicating. If you don't understand something or you see something you don't agree with just talk to the person, ask for clarification, examples.
Most of the recent problems in the Middle East can be directly linked to the Iraq War.

Osama Bin Laden can be directly linked to CIA's action in Afghanistan trying to defeat the Soviet and propping up the most repressive regime in the middle east ( Saudi Arabia ).

There has also being many instance of terrorist activity from sympathizer of the Palestine cause ( how would america like it if 8 million Muslims moved into Manhattan and resulting the displacement of most of New York's population ?)

I'm calling APEC BTC a boondoggle because it's useless to the vast majority of actual frequent travelers in APAC. (I used to work in Singapore in a near-100%-travel job. I couldn't get one, and neither could anybody else in my office.) I fully understand the political reasons that make it so, but that doesn't make it any more useful for the hoi polloi.

And my strong suspicion is that the AU passport will end up the same: otherwise, if anybody could truly use it to go anywhere, everybody would use it to GTFO from Somalia, Eritrea, the Congo, CAR etc.

Here's an article arguing against my claim:

http://heterodoxacademy.org/2016/01/07/are-conservatives-rea...

But note they begin by stating that it is widely regarded as true, by people with various different backgrounds and specialist knowledge, and they're not really that confident in their rebuttal even though they've presented a paper that undermines the evidence of that theory in one particular narrow area.

"The current consensus in psychology is that political conservatives are uniquely simple-minded. Indeed, even the famous critic of political bias and Heterodox contributor Jonathan Haidt (and colleagues) suggested that there is a “consistent difference between liberals and conservatives” on several measurements related to cognitive complexity"

Feedback works when it is fairly instant, friendly and most of all fair.

If you have to do X, Y and Z in n amount of time and you fail then a quick chat about why failed is very useful whilst the issues are fresh in peoples minds.

If you have to wait a few months for your next review then no one really remembers the intricacies of the event, so you aren't really able to flesh out what went wrong or what can be improved.

The friendliness part is vital too. Reviews can easily turn too formal and intimidating, putting the employee on the defensive. Most employees don't want to under performs so don't treat them like they are being accused of something bad.

And I cannot under estimate the fairness part. Only review based on established criteria. Be objective, not subjective. If you let other employees offer feedback then force them to provide evidence and don't just accept their opinion as provided. I was once told by manager that he was family friendly and he was flexible about arrival times, so long as I put the hours in and got the work done. When I took advantage of this for just one week I was given a beating in my review for poor punctuality. When I challenged my manager about his claim to be Okay with this his response was "Do you have that in writing?". I resigned a week later. They begged me stay I refused.

This post just reminds me how payment systems are so tacky and awful. It's really something when you have to turn to taking over a beloved cultural tradition to trick people into giving up their bank account information to your 'platform'.

I'm sorry but there is a special place in hell reserved for the creators and marketers of these systems.
It may be weak, but by hell it's practical. Tons of tooling, tons of engineers who understand it, and with a pragmatic approach, eliminates many bugs and regressions.
Piskvorrr, thanks for your comment.

Yes, it is a closed app like slack.

But you can request the sender's to contact you through Formal messenger by setting a permanent vacation responder in your email. Only humans read the automatic responder so your notification emails won't be affected.

For your machine communications like notification you can use email.

But for human communications you may consider Formal messenger because it organizes the incoming messages for you with help from sender's themselves.

I assume this is the same Power Ventures Facebook previously won an important judgement against: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facebook,_Inc._v._Power_Ventur....

In that case Facebook asserted that it was a copyright violation when Power Ventures copied data to it's servers, parsed out the pieces they cared about (for contact aggregation), and dropping the rest. The court agreed, ruling that making even a temporary copy in computer memory was indeed a copy.

This appears to be another part of that same case, this piece dealing with the promotional campaign Power Ventures ran. These two have a long history of litigation.
This opinion is based on a fundamental misunderstanding of how the internet works.

A client which is on the same network as a server can request data from the server, and the server chooses how to reply. The internet is just a really big network, so for an internet-facing computer the assumption is that anyone can request data. The analogy of the request-response process to physical space isn't--as the judge claimed--someone entering a building, but rather someone asking permission to enter the building. Asking permission to enter a bank with a shotgun is very different from actually entering and is not itself a crime (as far as I'm aware).

Every interaction between the client and server begins as a request from the client. If the server replies "yes, have some data" it's nonsensical that this could be construed as gaining unauthorized access, as Facebook claims. Ultimately, Facebook still controls access to its servers; it just hasn't figured out a good policy for denying certain requests. This is a technical problem which should be solved through technical means (e.g. blocking IP addresses) or by changing its terms of service with its users.

Unfortunately, rather than solving the problem itself, Facebook has convinced the federal government to work on its behalf through an especially blunt weapon known as the CFAA. This risks changing the entire legal framework in which everyone else is required to operate. Technology moves much faster than the laws governing it, so we may not appreciate the full impact of this decision until later. That should give even proponents some pause.
