Thank you for cross referencing the Australian law, it does seem similar and as you noted the legal issue can trigger additional claims, and the same is true in the U.S.

To take a stab at your questions regarding how such a claim might play out in the U.S. Say investor A put money into the DAO, based on statements in the marketing materials (example "the DAO is 100% secure") and said funds were lost. Investor A could file a law suit in their own jurisdiction, the claims would include but not necessarily be limited to fraud in the inducement, and the parties name might include but not be limited to a) the company who owns slock.it, b) the individual(s) who wrote the code for the DAO, c) the individuals who wrote the marketing materials the investor relied on, and d) the unknown individual(s) who were responsible for writing the smart contract that appropriated the investors funds without a vote (this may sound odd, but it is a regular occurrence typically naming defendant(s) John Doe(s))

Now it is almost impossible to say how the lawsuit would actually unfold. One example, none of the parties answers the lawsuit and the investor plaintiff can obtain a default judgment. In this example, the investor/plaintiff may take the judgment against defendant #1 (company behind slock.it, which I believe is company based out of Germany) and try to have the judgement enforced in Germany. Again I can't say for certain how that would play out. Another example, could be the defendants actually answer and defend the lawsuit, in which case the investor/plaintiff must prove their case at trial (but as we know, judgement can be obtained before trial at a motion like motion for summary judgment, but that would be rare in contract cases) or more generally the parties would settle.

Now I'm just trying to give varying examples, and I can't stress enough this analysis is in no way exhaustive, the various defendants would certainly be able to raise defenses not discussed, the plaintiffs could bring claims not mentioned, and a default against John Doe(s) would be nearly impossible to enforce (unless at some point John Doe(s) identity comes to light. The major take away is the fact that the law provides remedies separate and apart from unwinding the DAO or getting the money back from the john Doe(s) who may likely never be identified.
Level Up Your Security in Rails – Via Codeship
What if it were true that free market nor capitalism no longer benefit the poor, what do we do then? I think this can be argued since all markets are already regulated (thus not entirely free) nor is capitalism taken to its logical extreme anywhere in the world.
This is the method that OpenBSD will be using for the armv7 port starting with 6.0, a version of u-boot loader loads our EFI bootloader ported to ARM, along with .dtb/FDT (Flattened Device Trees) files for each system that is currently supported.

http://www.openbsd.org/60.html

It's actually pretty cool, the advantages of this approach are:

* We can use our standard boot(8) loader, which has already been ported to EFI for i386/amd64. Code sharing! :-)

* There is a single ELF kernel for all supported SoCs, no longer need special u-Boot headers/images.

* The kernel can be loaded off of our native filesystem (FFS/UFS) vs. FAT/ext2. The kernel can live inside the root filesystem and be updated normally.
I'm... curious about why you think LLVM isn't used to the sort of code that results from these sort of zero-cost abstractions: C++ code is also very aggressive about templates that inline away to nothing, and modern C++ especially has many similar abstractions to Rust (cf. closures, and the range proposal). Rust isn't special in that particular regard.

Maybe you mean LLVM is very low-level and thus it sees everything in the abstractions, which obviously takes time to sort through (and is especially wasteful to do multiple times for different monomorphisations). Thus, using MIR to optimise at a higher level can simplify code more efficiently before it hits LLVM.

That paper is discussing nonlinear quantum mechanics, models of which are almost always internally inconsistent. More importantly, it's just speculation; the kind of quantum mechanics that has been confirmed in the lab is linear.

It's well known that quantum mechanics does not violate causality (when defined appropriately in terms of actual observations).
Agreed, music map is a great interactive way to discover music. Last year one of our internal hack week teams built something like that using our vector space model. What was cool is you could switch between the different types from the UI, e.g. Nirvana -> Red Hot Chili Peppers -> DC101 Alternative Rock. You could also start stations from the UI - it was really fun discovering music with it!

When they first came out I used one to build a UAV on top of a 6' electric glider. The Arduino simply controlled the PWM's for the rudder, elevator and motor and then fed sensor data over a zigbee. My laptop, connected through a zigbee, actually flew the plane. I had hacked together my own INS from accelerometers and magnetometers, plus a joystick to override.

Was fun until it crashed into a pond after a stupid code update that had the IR sensors invert the sky and ground.

Bad drivers will surely be annoyed, just as they were when running red lights and speeding became things that could be enforced 24/7.

I like to consider myself a good driver, I'm mostly concerned about black-and-white application, where we had officer discretion in the past. (Discretion is hard to teach computers)

The traffic light I "ran" yesterday springs to mind. Second in line at stoplight (behind a cop no less). Light turns green, we roll into intersection. Light changes to yellow, then red, before either of us exit the intersection. An officer would not ticket me, but a computer that was not meticulously programmed probably would.

The most apt comparison isn't actually possible.

The 'last mile' networks are similar in nature to roadways; a service that is a natural monopoly and best supported through government and local community working together.

Meanwhile, cars (computers) and gas ('long distance' interconnect) are things that best compete on top of that local natural monopoly network.

Chromium, strontium, and vanadium can enter groundwater from many different sources including water seeping through concentrated deposits and industrial pollution. It's the molybdenum concentration that caught my eye because it is unusually rare due to mineral insolubility. It's only when high pressure fracing chemicals oxidize molybdenum does it become readily soluble in untapped deposits, causing it to seep down.

This is inspired by both Threeten [1] and Joda-Time [2], which are well-engineered Java libraries for date/time concepts.

I have often wished for that API to be available in other environments, so this is definitely a welcome addition to JS.

Note that the authors of the library are confused -- Threeten-(backport) and Joda-Time are different libraries with different behaviors, and one isn't an "aka." for another. However, Joda-Time's author went on to develop Threeten based on lessons learned, and this library purports to be a JS port of Threeten-Backport.

I'm not sure variance is at all related to this particular feature (maybe you could expand on your thinking?), but I also don't think the classical inheritance techniques for solving this problem are appropriate. I assume you're referring to, say, having an Iterator or Future base class and returning that. This unfortunately imposes costs like virtual calls and allocations, and is in fact already possible in Rust via trait objects (a function can return Box<Iterator<...>>, which is an allocation containing the data along with a vtable of virtual function pointers to manipulate that data). The impl trait feature is designed to allow returning closures and other unnameable/complicated types with no unnecessary cost, it's the same as returning a struct in C without compromising on programmer niceties.
Unless I misunderstand, this looks pretty much one-way street for me. What's in it for developers? The server's not open source, all this is is just a wrapper around their proprietary api.

The Keys to the Product Hunt Kingdom
it seems to me that arrays, matrices, vectors and binary expression trees are very simple constructs that can be understood in a few hours by anyone with a high school education. I have tried to understand some physics, I worked through "The Road to Reality" and I tried very hard to get my head around spin glasses for reasons that now are somewhat mysterious to me. My experience of doing this showed me that the maths employed by physics is at a whole other level from the maths of compsci; let alone programming. There is very rarely any need to do maths when programmming; unless you mean "counting". In fact I would contend that that mathifaction of programs is harmful (this is not the first time that this observation has been made). Programs have two functions; cause computers to do things, tell other programmers what the machine is to do and how it has been told to do it so that they can fix the f'ing thing and make it do other things as well without the f'ing thing blowing up all the f'ing time.

Self taught programmers are often exceedingly good at the first bit and exceedingly bad at the second bit. This often changes as they get experienced, especially if they get landed with maintaining code that they have written and take that job seriously. The truism "the other person will be you in six months" really bites.

Having said this the best programmer I know was a physicist, he was good when he interned for me, and is now a key contributor to a number of significant open source projects, producing lucid effective code.
Trump fails and Clinton falls short with Silicon Valley donors
I think being self-taught in programming works relatively well compared to being an autodidact in theoretical physics becaude programming is a trade or applied science, not a pure theoretical science. Being self-taught in theoretical computer science and doing great work in that field is more difficult than being a self-taught programmer and writing great code. (Obviously, learning cs theory can help you be a much better programmer too, and learning cs theory yourself to the degree that you can gainfully employ some learnings in practice to your code is well withing the realm of self-teaching, but this again is different than becoming a theoretical computer scientist or breaking ground in the field, as discussed in this article vis a vis physics.)

I imagine this is true for many trades. One can be an effective autodidact carpenter. An effective autodidact musician. An effective autodidact writer.

It's interesting to consider which trades being an autodidact is seemingly most difficult in. Being an autodidact doctor or surgeon seems a major stretch, regulatory issues aside. Being an autodidact civil architect or even mechanical engineer seems difficult as well, though no doubt possible for some. Perhaps the worse the consequences of mistakes (doctor, surgeon, architect) and the higher the bar of knowledge to be effective (mechanical engineer in advanced spaced, doctor, etc) the less likely autodidacts are to be effective. This reconciles well with programming being a feasible autodidact field -- consequences are neither as dire as being a surgeon nor failures as clear to see and measure as being an architect, and it doesn't take a great deal of knowledge to get started and be productive in programming.
What HR Leaders Really Think About Apps and HR Software
Everything you're linking too is either highly speculative (e.g, hypothetically taking place yoctoseconds after the big bang, and completely unconfirmed) or is addressing some subtle interpretative senses of causality which are very distinct from the normal sense (such as the paper by Leifer and Pusey, who worked/work down the hall from me).
Yes, it's always possible by dropping down to the lower network level but it would be nice to have it as a natively supported protocol as part of an existing HTTPS LB.

LuaJIT made the news for having an interpreter that beat V8’s JIT a while ago. There are a lot of traits about languages and their implementations that makes looking at their compiler features a poor way of determining speed.
Thanks for those tips! Just to contribute back a factoid in case you weren't aware, I noticed that the manpage for emacsclient says this:

"If the value of [the alternate editor] is the empty string, run `emacs --daemon' to start Emacs in daemon mode, and try to connect to it."

So your aliases would continue to work if you replace -a=emacs with -a=''. And you'd only pay the startup cost the first time you run ec or e.

> Yeah, the labor pool moved to the service / cognitive jobs.

I'm sure you are right but I would argue that trying to quantify cognitive jobs is foolhardy and I am not convinced in the slightest that automation is capable of replacing them. Having said that, I have time and time again been surprised as to how ingenious human beings are with creating jobs! Industries no one ever thought of are now major industries. Humans are far more adaptable than horses. That's kind of our thing.
Measuring the Business Health of the Digitally Transformed Enterprise
You may find this makes somewhere more sense to think of it as ~5.3 microseconds per request for fasthttp vs. ~4.8 microseconds for Java vs. ~4.3 for Rust. It's 40 microseconds or so for the standard lib Go. I'm just eyeballing the graph but this should be close enough (dominated by local CPU variances and such). Just as some people point out that "gallons per mile" is a more intuitively useful way of thinking, I think that at this scale "overhead per request" is a better way of thinking about it.

I'm not generally a big fan of measuring the "ping time" response for web servers, but in this case I believe it is justified since we really are trying to establish that this future library is very fast. I fear, based on experience, that some developers well be looking at this and will sit there trying to choose fasthttp vs. rapidoid vs. minihttp based on this one graph, without considering what they really mean. Overhead-per-request I think makes it more clear that for the vast, vast majority of purposes, all of these, including Go and Node, are "way way faster than your code", and unless you know you're building a server where you seriously need to answer an API call at several hundred thousand responses per second, all of these are "fast enough" and the real criteria for choosing should be "everything else".

(One last edit... remember, it's "milli/micro/nano". Micro seems to be forgotten since it seems like many things that we care about fit into nano- or milli-. It's quite a challenge in the web world to get your request out in under a millisecond usually, so .040 milliseconds added as HTTP overhead is rarely the problem.)

I grew up in La Quinta, just a bit west of the Salton Sea. Thermal, which is a city between La Quinta and the sea, is tied with Death Valley and the Libyan Sahara for the highest recorded temperature of all time (or at least was, while I was growing up).

> City councils' are probably the most corrupt governing bodies today.

Spoken like someone who has never interacted with their representatives on their local council.

I know everyone on my council, 5 of one party and 4 of another, 5 men and 4 women, and they do 15-20 hours of work every week for $50/mo. Most of them are retired because they have to be, but my area is mostly older or retired anyway so at least it's representative. The only possible complaint you could have about them is the municipality is 80% black and only 2 of the 9 members of council are, but that's also representative of who actually runs for election.

If they're corrupt, they're doing it wrong.

Nicely crafted analogy. I don't see it.

I'm very involved in party politics and have run for office.

The Democratic Party isn't a single thing. I can't even summarize it briefly. One facet is a bunch of independent groups sharing the same logo, tribal identity. Another is a hierarchy of squabbling ad hoc volunteer organizations fighting each other for relevancy. A third are the Democratic themed campaigns which are largely parasitic on the party organizations. A fifth are the loose coalitions of like minded interest groups also squabbling for resources and relevance.

The DNC isn't even that influential. Closest analog I can think of is a trade association that hosts conferences.

I can't speak directly to the GOP's structure. From observations and contact with their players, they're similar.

People don't get how candidates are chosen to run for office. Especially at the top of the ticket. I'm talking before the primary / caucus. Special interest groups form and then go candidate shopping. "Superstar" electable candidates, like GWB and Obama, are selected, groomed, promoted to other interest groups (investment clubs, individuals). Note that these groups filled the vacuum left by the decline of the traditional GOP and Dem party machines.

All the other candidates are delusional self promoters. They literally have almost no chance. But they run anyway, to promote their brands, to take one for the team, to get the experience, because anything can happen during the campaign cycle, etc.

Me personally, I'm still gobsmacked that Trump iced out both Cruz and Rubio. My initial post-mortem for the GOP 2016 is Trump's dark horse victory just demonstrates how dysfunctional the GOP has become (the Tea Party has driven away their "moderates").

Since the company I co-founded at YC S11 (Automatic) was called out in the article, I want to share a few thoughts here.

It’s absolutely true that connected cars and the wider IoT space has miles to go in terms of security and privacy. Far too many companies treat security as an afterthought, and then we see everything from Jeeps to Barbie dolls being compromised. Those same firms then treat privacy as a winner-take-all game, where they expect the customers to give them maximum access with minimal accountability. And frankly, it pisses us off.

At Automatic, we’ve laid out our security procedures and privacy policies incredibly clearly. No firm is perfect, but I think we’ve done an outstanding job at creating systems that are difficult to penetrate, and in setting precise expectations with our customers about how we’ll use their data.
You can read about those here: https://blog.automatic.com/security-at-automatic-how-we-keep... and https://blog.automatic.com/our-privacy-principles-4d2fd93654...

To get back to the article - car manufacturers that hide what they’re doing from consumers should knock it off. I don’t think they’re necessarily being nefarious, I just think they’re being foolish. In this age where consumers are waking up to the risks and rewards of connectivity, obscuring the data you’re collecting and how you’re using it is only going to become more untenable.
