I agree, but I'd take it one step further. This could be CIA or NSA exposing just enough information given already known public information on the equation group.

At that point it would look completely legit, but could be used to track back large amounts of Bitcoin. If the NSA knows through listening stations which adversary groups are sending how much BTC then they'll be able to follow the leads back significantly.

Combining technical knowledge of trades and BTC movement with CIA knowledge of on-the-ground information may net them some fantastic information.

With the addition of getting a large about of BTC for future funding. That would be a powerful move.

This is the kind of feedback I hoped I would get. And you're right, I can launch new versions of the product as time goes on. I've been working in a black box so far and need to get customer feedback.

There is nothing wrong with government. You just need to know someone. I have worked on multiple government contracts, typically through someone I knew who needed something done. I built a product and sat down with their purchasing manager, and grossed a few grand a month for pretty minimal effort.

And the government is already so used to bad software, so long as it works, you are doing them a favor.

As with most industries, you need to know a person, a problem, and a solution to make any money.
I am not sure that you appreciate what is involved.

Running an index fund is largely mechanical, but the main issue is dealing costs.

What Vanguard have to do is seemingly impossible, which is to deal at the mid-price every day, when they invest net inflows (or dis-invest the net outflow).

They also have to deal at the mid-point whenever the index changes (usually every quarter).
Police Can Use a Legal Grey Area to Take Indefinite Custody of Belongings
Agreed. Cleaning and correcting a code base is only part of the solution. Putting in place the policies and culture to make sure the code stays clean is the other part.
Startups in 13 Sentences by Paul Graham:

"2. Launch fast.

The reason to launch fast is not so much that it's critical to get your product to market early, but that you haven't really started working on it till you've launched. Launching teaches you what you should have been building. Till you know that you're wasting your time. So the main value of whatever you launch with is as a pretext for engaging users."

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12289071

My own personal perspective having launched several times: if you don't feel bad about something, you took too long to launch.

Launching teaches you what you should have been building.
This biggest issue with not launching is the presumption that you know what you should be working on.

I strongly recommend you read Lean Startup . . . don't skim it. Read it.

Wish I'd gotten one when they were $250... at the current price (over $1250) just can't bring myself to do it... though sourcing original materials is probably part of the increased cost, and the labor. Really cool concept. I have a spare computer setup to keep people off my desktop, at home, and this would be cool to have on that.
I had never heard that acronym before but that makes complete sense. I suppose that you _do_ want the best launch you can muster, but it isn't make or break.
Not really, for two reasons:

- It's done at the hard disk level, so no database or data schema is involved.

- It's not done for performance reasons, but for security reasons (not to lose any data).

"In computing, denormalization is the process of trying to improve the read performance of a database, at the expense of losing some write performance, by adding redundant copies of data or by grouping data."

It's a technique that involves copying data for some very particular reason, an abstraction to hide the nasty duplication because the desirable thing is to have only one source of truth.

So while there's some remote similarity (the copying of data), the goals are completely different.

IIRC, a lot, if not all, of CP/M was written in PL/M, but the 8086 was designed to make porting assembly code from the 8080/8085 easy, so, I'd assume a disassembly would be easy to automatically port to a 8086/8088. If there is some Easter egg Kildall left it was, probably, in those syscall identifiers. Are they discontinuous or something like that?

Hey startups going public: Investment banks are screwing you.
To me the problem seems more that on a GPU you can only execute fast queries on fairly small datasets. I would assume that the space of problems that still fit into a few gigs of GPU RAM but need to be answered rapidly with a lot of parallelism is fairly small.

In my anecdotal sample, most of the users of hadoop/bigquery/etc seem to use it less because of raw query speed but more because the datasets are simply to large for any classical solution (i.e. much larger than fits into RAM on a single machine)
By the way, in San Mateo, my children go to school with a number of children whose parents are "service workers" for neighboring cities. They live in San Mateo- most of them have bought fixer-uppers in areas like East of 101 where prices are lower (unfortunately, also very close to the freeway, with lots of pollution and noise). Obviously, this is anecdotal, but it's clear that there are people who have recently purchased in this area and are commuting to nearby cities.
I think that

b) All elections should be on Saturday or Sunday

c) If you work on those days, you should be entitled to paid time off.

In that order. Alas, c) is the only item our community can affect, so we'll have to do that if we want to do anything.

I'm not very familiar with cgroups, but the documentation mention in that manpage ( https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/scheduler/sched-bwc... ) talks about throttling and maximum CPU usage.

I'd guess that it's just a matter of how you view it - putting a minimum number of CPU shares on the root cgroup is the same as putting a maximum on the rest of the cgroups, right? But maybe one or the other documentation is wrong.
This is awesome! However, when I add it to my webpack config it does load the dashboard, but afterward still produces all the scrolled output. Anyone now how to remove the scrolled output and just show the dash?
In my experience, diagnosing the tech-debt problem, prescribing the solution, and implementing the solution are not really the hard parts of this - the hard part is battling the culture that led to the problem, and wrangling that huge gulf between "seeming consensus" and "actual consensus" that the group is actually going to change direction by accepting the diagnosis, adopting the solution, and starting work.

Maybe an outside consultancy makes this easier since they are sort of imbued with a moral authority when coming in, but it could also mean that all the hard political work has been done beforehand in agreeing to hire them.
> But I also believe that if you are building a bomb in your basement, and the Feds want to know why, they can get a court order and 'surveil' you.

I also don't think that mere suspicion of building a bomb in your basement gives the government scary powers over you. This is why there is such a thing as due process. Because you never know when you might be wrongfully accused.

The version hosted on docs.rust-lang.org is the current edition of the book, whose source is in-tree. https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/tree/master/src/doc/book

In order to not trash the book while we're doing the re-write, we've moved it to a new repository, which is the one you've linked.

When the new book is ready, we will either merge it into `src/doc/book` or remove the book from the main repository and use rust-lang/book as the new official source, it's not totally clear yet which.
If you want more options, you can also move to one of the brokers like TDA. They provide commission free trades for 100 or so ETFs [1], many of which are Vanguards.

I recently downloaded "My OldBoy Free" a gameboy color emulator for Android phones, and am really impressed with it. With only a D-pad and two buttons, its still easy enough to control with a touch screen, and the 2x speed feature lets you avoid the often-slow pace of these classic games when you wish to. Supposedly you can also use a wireless 'link cable', which sounds cool but I haven't tried it yet - might only be the paid version.

Pokemon Blue was a favorite game in grade school, and playing it again is a lot of fun.

Nintendo could double their revenue if they released an official emulator in the mobile app store. I hardly ever spend money for mobile games, but would happily drop $5 per title. The quality and depth of these old titles puts almost every modern mobile game to shame.

The USA is similar. If you go for a bachelor's degree in CS you take a ton of mathematics ("hard" cs concentration) or a ton of business classes ("information sytems" concentration) to backfill your degree.

Alternately you can bypass most of that by going to a technical vocational school. They focus entirely on occupational values and send you out in half the time.

Downsides to vocational school: The "idea" behind higher education is that you continue to learn to be a well-rounded person. If you never took physics/literature/calculus/art/Latin/... (because you went to vocational classes that focused on practical business value), it's a hard, high mountain to climb between changing diapers, chauffering to soccer class, etc. ;-)
Depending on what you're doing, the right decisions might only be visible in hindsight.

To this point, you might scaffold out a system to get something running and then incrementally / organically improve the system. I regard this as 'getting the system to the point where it can be dogfooded and/or criticized in a helpful way'.

At this point, despite what you might have running, it may be exceedingly clear that you should have used a different strategy. Maybe you like the overall results, but you need things to be implemented in a different way.

For example, I'm a C++ programmer. It's not always obvious at first that you need a specific set of virtual functions to make something work really nicely.

It's impossible to always know these sorts of things in advance.
It's a shame though, since the GBA is backwards compatible with Gameboy Color. And eventually we saw PS3 owners continuing to buy new PS2 releases. Too bad nobody took a chance on releasing this.
There are enough moving parts and conflicting incentives within the system that it's unlikely to be that simple. In theory, yes, they may have underpriced their IPO and left some money on the table, but that isn't necessarily the worst thing. In general, it's better to be thought of as a company that's outperformed expectations than underperformed them.
I would guess that the working poor also tend to disproportionately not work the normal 9-5 business week. Moving it to the weekend doesn't help when the weekend is the busiest time for retail and food. I'm not sure whether making it a holiday fixes this either -- those are exactly the types of places that are still open on holidays. We need full time displacement, but voting over multiple days allows partial results to influence future votes.
maybe I'm missing something (haven't tried to debug it), but that just results in 0.

That would help, but it doesn't directly address the working poor with multiple jobs. Let's say polls are open from 6am-10pm. Job 1 starts at 6am and ends at 3pm - condition not met. Job 2 starts at 4pm and ends at 8pm - condition still not met.

Even as our national unemployment starts to get back to the natural rate of ~5%, underemployment is still a big problem, as is cost of living being too high in many places for the working class. Hence, the rise of the working poor, and multiple jobs to make ends meet.

It needs to be a national holiday with anyone normally scheduled to work that day getting paid for it. Automatic voter registration + mail in ballots easily accessible would be one alternative.

Stepping back to consider the situation, there really isn't a good reason I can think of to not shut it down and let our citizens choose their next leaders. If one paid day for your employees every two years puts you out of business, so be it.
I agree. Very often I see this set forth as a problem with management, but it seems to me that other engineers are also a significant part of the problem. I try really, really hard to never be that engineer. If someone sees defects in something I wrote, regardless of the scope, I'm totally fine with whatever they do to make it better, up to and including totally replacing my work.
I don't see how this is relevant to the context of the conversation: the perspective of the individual nonvoter being incentivized to vote.
I think this is spot on. The value of a service related to employment comes from employment and generally employment services which collect money from jobseekers have incentives that poorly align with the job seeker's incentives, for example more revenue the harder it is for a jobseeker to get a job.

I am really glad to hear it. One of the reasons I had made the Ruby -> Rust jump fairly easily was that I'd been programming in C for most of my life, and got a BS in CS. But I also know that a _ton_ of people have not. So it's really really important to both me and the Rust team broadly that we make Rust accessible to this crowd.

(I also agree with you with going back to Ruby; I look at my code now and go "oh no so many allocations" "oh no is this threadsafe I have no idea" :) I will still always love Ruby though. )
Thanks, that looks just as cool as the old Cray. People really cared much more about design back then.
I dont think electronic voting on its face is an inherently bad idea - but I've yet to see a proposal I like very much.

Electronic Collection of votes seems very logical, if you then immediately generate a paper record (like a punched card) of the results of that particular ballot. Those paper results could then be tabulated and compared to the electronic results.
But then, "copy the style elements of classic designs while ignoring the rules that governed those designs" will make it automatically bad, and IMHO many aesthetic trends started like that
It makes sense if they know they've released information that the person who this was leaked from can absolutely verify it's legitimacy, and wants to keep it secret at all costs while also maximizing return.

Hi, CEO of MapD here.

I agree that while some users don't need this level of speed, many do. Hadoop use cases are often very different than those that demand the speed of in-memory processing for real time answers. Think about all the money going into high-performance solutions like Spark, HANA, Vertica, Redshift, Exadata, MemSQL, etc. And many use cases demand even more speed, which is where GPU acceleration comes in.

We just launched this year but already are being used in telco, hedge fund, social media, adtech, defense and retail deployments, with many more on the way. Most of our customers have been inbound, motivated by a common pain point of not having real-time visibility into their datasets. For example, Hadoop would not be acceptable for our use cases at Verizon, where troubleshooting needs to occur in real-time and not with lags measured in hours.

I'm a firm believer in horses for courses. Not everyone needs the fastest tech, but for those that do, it makes all the difference.

The pro-democracy campaigner in this article openly admits to discussing assassinating the prime minister of Fiji with other members of his group. It seems kind of silly to act incredulous when you find out that he might, then, have been watched by a few intelligence agencies to see what he was planning to do next. Even if he ends up doing nothing, you want to make sure he's going to do nothing.

-----

The Intercept asked Fullman if he or Mara had ever heard of — or been involved in — discussions about overthrowing or assassinating Bainimarama. Far from denying it, he said that sort of talk happened frequently within Fijian pro-democracy circles. However, he said it was just angry ranting, when the alcohol was flowing, something completely different from real plans.

“People would say things like, ‘Please can we just hire the Americans to send one drone to Fiji to get rid of those bastards’, or ‘Let me go back to Fiji and I’ll just get a knife and stab him!’” Fullman said. “It’s venting. It’s our way of maintaining sanity — we just sit and bitch about everything. We don’t want violence. We want something where there’s control, a planned approach. More to the effect where it’s the people who protest and say, ‘Enough is enough. This is wrong. We want to go back to the old constitution and have elections.’”
Treating a citizen as guilty until proven innocent is enough of a problem to discredit the governments actions here.
