Is it all like Fourier transform where all the work is linear; or do they have to convert it to electricity and then back to light?

If they do that, then do they gain anything over purely electronic solutions?

I guess it depends on your definition of "nearest town". By the official "settlement hierarchy", in which a thousand souls or more comprise a town, that's true. Once you get into 20k or 30k, though, it's pretty easy to find places in the West or Midwest that are more than 200 miles from the nearest town of that size.
Honest question from an interested party: have you actually had it alert you about someone else changing the files?

I've been in the previous boat: of having it running on a system I've inherited, and given up because it seemed too much hassle.
Doing the same distance in a city, compared to the countryside or small towns, always takes longer.

Driving is slower (traffic jams, traffic lights, crossings everywhere...).

Public transportation is slower (think train and long/middle distance busses vs local busses and subway and tramway with their stops every few hundred meters).

Cycling is slower (same as for cars + the repeated effort of restarting after every slow down or stop + damn paint and gutter plates everywhere that should be avoided or ridden with care).

Heck! even walking is slower (pedestrian 'jams' slowing you down, avoiding people, traffic lights, crossings every 50 or 100 meters, cars/trucks parked on sidewalks...).

Basically, what's fast and efficient is a point to point transport with 'emptyness' between the nodes. It's not being bogged down on a dense axis or area.

Those charts make my point. Look at the prices in real terms. SFO is more than 2x NYC and 4x the national average!

A $400k home in NYC is within reasonable reach of a dual income professional couple.

Prices are high generally because capital is cheap and monetary policy has made other traditional "safe" investments useless.

The income ratio based numbers reflect how the "middle class" is getting the proverbial shaft.

When wages are stagnant for 30 years and property appreciates, you need to accept the fact that you're not capable of supporting a circa 1986 middle class standard of living. My grandfather owned a home in NYC, kept new cars, and had a summer camp in the mountains on a blue-collar city government income and second job as a boilerman in the 1960s. That's no longer achievable. I personally barely have that level of buying power as a IT executive.

Hey thanks for that note, I look like less of an idiot now :)

The thing is, neither the landlord nor the restaurant tenants care about market share (although it's true that it could be increased by opening a new restaurant of a novel cuisine). As for lowering prices, that would be something they're actively trying to avoid. As much as they'd probably like to increase consumption, the number of residents in the area is a constant, and they eat at most one dinner per day.

Remember, they're trying to maximize profit, not market share, meals served, resident happiness, etc. It's like asking why there are empty seats in business class on a plane, when the airline could lower the fare and attract more customers, market share, etc? It's true, they could, but they're not trying to maximize the number of passengers (with the associated extra weight, fuel costs, etc). They're trying to maximize profit, and if high fares for a few people and a bunch of empty seats do that better than lower fares, full seats, and a higher fuel bill, then that's great for them.

The empty stores are a documented phenomenon, the only question is why it's like that. If you don't like my theory, another explanation would be interesting to hear... speculating that the situation shouldn't exist, less so.
I don't get this age of greed that we are in. The board and the VCs are making hundreds of millions (and some of them already have that much), and they are f'n pinching pennies for the first 20-30 employees that worked their ass of to make their company work. Is it really going to hurt that much for like 10-15 people to make a few hundred grand? Geez. It wasn't this way (at least for me) back in the mid-90s. I had been lucky to make some money back then, but I hate that the 20-somethings are getting royally f'd over.

BTW, my CEO just gave me a significant bump in my options a few weeks ago. He acted like it was a huge deal. But, with the 'right of repurchase' and all the other BS clauses in my options contract, they're essentially worthless.

This is incorrect. In both track-and-field and cycling there are extensive out-of-competition tests, the purpose of which is exactly that. This is because performance-enhancing drugs are often more beneficial in training than in competition.

No, but that would be wonderful! A caniuse.com for operating systems, listing whether a major for of software (library, interpreter, compiler, shell) is available as part of the default install, part of additional packages from the core set during install, from additional packages blessed by the provider but not available through install media, a third party repo, source compilation, or is known to not be functional.

I used to work for company writing software for car dealerships, and there's a lot under those brands that may make you think twice, even about KBB.

Note that this was 2005 - 2011; I haven't kept up with the industry to know if it had changed any, or at all.

I'll talk about the used car market, since the new car market doesn't have that much pricing variation.

There are several pricing companies for cars in the U.S. Don't forget these companies are also for-profit companies, so the prices consumers get to see are generally also inflated a bit (retail price). The actual market price before the dealership acquires the car is known as the wholesale price. Who determines this wholesale price? Well, the prices actually come from car auctions - a place where buyers that either work independently or for dealers go to restock on used car inventory. So if you really, really had the time - go to a car auction (ex: https://www.autoreturn.com/san-francisco-ca/auction-terms/) and get your car at wholesale price.

Now, what does this have to do with pricing guides such as KBB, BlackBook, NADA (nada.com), Edmunds? Well, these companies have people who go to auctions and record the winning bids. All the data they collect ends up being the wholesale price, usually only seen by the dealership. The retail price is then generally a bump of ~$2000 of the wholesale price, depending on the car + other data factors. The kicker is, back in 200x, the data collection at auctions were just samples, all done manually by pencil and paper, and submitted back to KBB, etc. Often times, the data is so incomplete, the pricing guides would all be off quite a bit between each other. There's also regional variations, as KBB is more west coast based, so the prices tend to be higher.

Anyways, that's the surface of things. Also, I don't know if the industry's changed or not. Right when I left that position, KBB and all the other site started to make web enabled API's - we actually used to get shipped a dll w/a data file to integrate into our SaaS product.

So take away - KBB or other pricing guide will still have a higher price than what you can actually get a car for.
Maybe they changed their password hashing scheme at some point around 2012, so they're trying to get everything aligned? No idea really, just a thought I had reading that same sentence.

Or they have an issue they don't want to talk about and this is one way to get it resolved...
> Our security teams are always watching out for new threats to our users. As part of these ongoing efforts, we learned about an old set of Dropbox user credentials (email addresses plus hashed and salted passwords) that we believe were obtained in 2012. Our analysis suggests that the credentials relate to an incident we disclosed around that time.

Sounds reasonable. I wouldn't be surprised if hashing techniques have changed since then, and this would be another way of upgrading users to the stronger scheme.
Is his contribution just the idea and you are building the product out?

I won't partner up with an idea person anymore. I have found that they always feel entitled to more of the equity and I suspect it's because they are insecure about their own abilities (which usually ends up being something you can do yourself).

I will, however, partner with an idea person if they also offer a sizable investment into the company.

Your cofounder should be bringing something to the company. Either money, connections in the industry, or some other type of skill.

If you are both developers or one person has just the idea, you will run into issues at a later stage in the development of your company.

It's not clear that there's a failure. The overall retail vacancy rate in the US is around 11% [0]. The article didn't give an overall statistic, but it's not clear the average NYC high-end vacancy rate is any higher.

A 0% vacancy rate is impossible: nobody could move. To have liquidity and stabilize economic cycles, you want to average somewhere around 10% vacancy. So the system is working fine.

I hope I was the only person to have had a bad experience with Pivotal ever. Their recruiter straight up lied to me (told me on the phone that they'd schedule a phone screen, went on radio silence, and claimed they had emailed me about moving on).

Using physical space and particle interactions for solving computational problems seems like such an elegant hack. Proteins fold and chemistry just works in 3D space, yet we have problem computing these things. I wonder why we don't do more computing on the physical fabric of the universe itself. It seems like an optimally efficient tool for problem solving.

Are there any other approaches along this same vein? It's incredibly fascinating.

Did you study part time?

I never considered studying part time because it would take so long to complete the program, but a lot of people in this thread are suggesting I do it. I have no clue how people work and attend college part time? If I work it would likely be a 9-5 job and I wouldn't be able to attend my classes.

Although, the downside of going taking this route would be that I'd have no time for side projects and making things.
Thanks for posting this. Fortunately I'm not one of the ones affected, but I took the opportunity to rotate my Dropbox password and audit/prune my authorized devices.

https://www.dropbox.com/account/security

I had a bunch of old devices in that list and removing each one triggered a full page refresh, which took longer than normal thanks to the JS-driven single-page design of the dashboard. The removal request itself went over AJAX, so I guess someone figured it was easier to throw away the page state every click than to remove an element from the list's DOM. Made the whole thing much more tedious than it needed to be; a form with a series of checkboxes and a single "remove" button at the bottom would have done fine.
I've a doubt though, if WhatsApp is sending end to end encrypted messages, how is it able to send data to Facebook? Or I don't understand the term end to end encrypted messages well?

Non-profits are often compared by examining their overhead as a percentage of total spending, rather than their efficacy per dollar (or overall). This holds back many great charities, and benefits others which consistently waste money on doomed projects with low overheads. It seems to be just as wrong to assume that retained earnings or dividends are wasted overhead and compare organizations on that basis alone.
Find applications and use their tools. The development of a new tool is typically harder than applying the tool.

Worth mentioning that this investment figure would have included lots of stuff beyond what our current minds consider the "computer". It would have also included I/O systems, disk & tape storage, communications, terminals, printers, and etc. A lot of this was close to bleeding edge. S/360 was a "system", and that meant a lot of optional peripherals you could buy.
Another way of looking at what you are saying is, there is no problem with doping in sport.. there is a problem with competition.

Competition is the 'con' which makes most sport worth watching (and hence paying for / advertising in). Without the promise of competition between the local / state / country / world's best, who is watching an average person running a hundred metres? What if we measured not time but technique, or like mountain climbing, preparation?

If the sport is about preparation rather than performance, what does it even matter if they are doping?
'define' - Scheme, Shen, others; 'defn' - Clojure; 'fn'; 'lambda' - are all just syntax to get used to in any language you learn.

As I understand it, it's exploiting how light signals move very fast and thus you can sweep through many solutions. But, as they seem to note in "weaknesses", you're effectively offloading an exponential amount of work to the light, and so haven't done anything for the big-O behavior; you're just making a (potentially) less scarce resource applicable to the problem, no different (economically) from finding cheaper ways to build computers.
You lobby your Congressional representatives. Elizabeth Warren has been kicking ass and taking names, but can't do it all alone.
This line of reasoning always confused me. To upgrade to a stronger scheme, couldn't a service just rehash the prior hashes subsequently with a stronger scheme?

So for those users you'd have newScheme(oldScheme(password)). Then you could do a one-time migration of users with older scheme to increase the security to the new one.
I'd wager that this is mostly due to mental exhaustion making people unable to devote a lot of effort to these tests and that it will go away after a few weeks of vacation.

Small != a limitation in many cases.

I think small adds to understanding. In addition, the whole point is to keep the kernel small in microkernels, and most, if not all, userland stuff is implemented outside of the kernel, so small is good here.

You can fork and add to it if you want to expand the kernel.

I happen to have a bias for minimalism and small: Shen, Forth, PicoLisp, wasplisp (MOSREF pentesting environment), J programming language, etc...

I think there is too much bloat in web dev, backend, frontend, and PLs in general. I really appreciate it when I see somebody elegantly, and with little code or extra tooling solve a problem in a straight forward manner.

I see bash as a lowest common denominator for ops & sys admins. There would be too much friction getting the pack to agree on python, perl, ruby, etc., especially since most of the code would be shell'ing out commands to /bin/sh or /bin/bash anyway.

Bash does leave a lot to be desired when it comes to data structures and error handling, but in some cases it makes the most sense. In those cases, better to have some semblance of sanity via a common lib like bash-infinity or bash-booster.

Lombok is kinda bigger commitment than attrs, because it interfaces with Java compiler internals (last time I used it, it was only possible to compile with sun/oracle jdk).

attrs seems lesser risk IMO, it's just a plain Python library, no other deps.

If you like Lombok, I'd expect you'll love attrs. :)
True point.

That's normally how you'd do a hashing upgrade

* decide an upgrade window

* each time a user logs in check their hash version, upgrade if necessary

* the upgrade period expires

* if you can, force log out all non-upgraded users - hoping they'll now log in and get auto-upgraded

* email all non-upgraded users and ask them to update their password

Hopefully that set of users is now very small.
