it should happen, but the company can either encourage it or discourage it .. and that stance is important ..
there another side to it. coding alone making all decisions on the fly and as needed can also be very relaxing. in the big company, most of the work is getting agreement; fighting legacy code; planning transitions; making sure everybody is on the same page as they contribute...
I have never understood what the classic Many World Interpretation actually is. Splitting of universes has the same problem as collapse and probabilities become rather nebulous since presumably all possibilities do happen, after all.

But there is a version of it which does make sense: https://arxiv.org/abs/0903.2211

The basic question for all theories is, "what is fundamentally real?" and the wave function of quantum mechanics just doesn't work in that role. This is why Bohmian mechanics adds particles; that is what is real in that theory.

But to make a MW theory, one can integrate out the wave function to create a mass density function on 3-space. In any given instance, this is a mess and useless. But if you watch it evolve, then you could see multiple different stories evolving. And those are the different "worlds".

There is no splitting, just regimes that are no longer relevant.

According to the government, this was done as a surprise measure to stop the mafias taking the bills to Colombia as part of the "Economic Warfare" (that convenient excuse for our failed economy) that is being waged against Venezuela.

Lots of people are talking about a Corralito here. The people exchanging their bank notes in the Central Bank in Caracas are only receiving a voucher saying that they deposited their money there!

Those that cannot make the trip to Caracas or don't have access to a bank or bank account are basically screwed.

There is a theory that since the dollar black market rate was increasing every day, the government did this as a way to collect all that money in the streets as a way to stop it.

The government insists on blaming all our problems on external factors, it's never their fault. But no one ever thinks if it would actually be possible for an "evil actor" to influence the economy of an entire country via twitter or mafias, like they constantly say.

Yes, I got the impression they'd been trying to build & secure a shared-process sandbox for customer-supplied logic, and have now given up on that and (wisely IMO) moved to a separate process model.

Last time I needed to do something like this, I just asked people to give me an AWS Lambda endpoint to talk to. "You want your custom logic, fine, run it in a container you're responsible for."

This wasn't unexpected outside of the extend of the bounties.

What you have to realize is how important Security is to Shopify. We are a trust based business to an extreme extend. We host the livelihoods of hundreds of thousands of other businesses. If we are down or compromised all of them can't make money ( as some of you saw during Black Friday, to the tune of $300k+ a minute at times ).

One of the best ways for us to augment our internal security team is to work with the white hat community. This was a pain before Hacker One but now is significantly easier.

One challenge is that Shopify (still) hasn't really got the profile in the tech industry that a lot of Silicon Valley local companies have. This is totally fine by me, but it's means that if a top white hat sits down and decide what to work on, we are not automatically top of mind.

So we decided to overspent as a kind of "marketing" investment. Hacker one is a classical two sided market place. There is plenty of supply of skilled researchers but also a lot of demand for their services. We want to be known for being one of the most responsive companies and also pay top dollars for top findings.

So the basic idea is that when we launch something new, we 10x the payouts to bootstrap the process of familiarization. We also provide a very convenient local environment for doing the work in. It should be more fun and more lucrative to make Shopify related discoveries then other companies. After this initial period we then reduce the payouts somewhere slightly above community standards. Its all just business 101.

Internally we are actually thrilled how the shopify-scripts/mruby program went. Most (all?) of what was found would have been caught by our sandboxing but we don't want to rely on this. As everyone who does security knows - lots of exploits, even if superficially contained, can sometimes combine into "the big one".
There are various versions, but the one I recommend to date loses determinism (that was never the point) and allows for annihilation and creation of particles:

In addition, the ideas of Bohmian mechanics has led to a new direction in dealing with the divergences in QFT, that is, in finding a version of it that is mathematically well-defined:

5 Startup Strategies to Capitalize on Today’s Culture
Not long range methods other than breaking Enigma messages which said where/when U-boots were to go. This is what made breaking Enigma so important.
> It kind of baffles me that the only long distance trains that are still being done on European scale are prestigious high speed trains (usually connecting Brussels to X) that are much more expensive than plane tickets or anything else really.

> I wouldn't mind to take a trip to Paris from Amsterdam in a slower train for 20-30 euro, but this is really impossible unless you spend almost a day piecing badly connecting trains together.

Looking on the SNCF website, the cheapest Thalys (i.e., "prestigious high sped trains") tickets are 35 EUR each way, which seems to require booking about a month or two in advance to get. The cheapest flights are 34 EUR each way, which seemingly similarly requires booking about a month or two in advance. So, uh, it doesn't seem like they're much more expensive than plane tickets—and the cost of getting to/from airports is likely far more than 1 EUR (given travel to/from airports tends to be more expensive than travel to/from city centres).

Obviously dynamic pricing as practiced by both airlines and train operates makes it hard to tell what's generally cheaper, but the fact that on many routes high-speed rail has caused airlines to drop routes due to lack of custom tends to imply they are competitive: if they started yanking up the prices after the airlines had dropped their routes, one would expect the airlines to reintroduce them and take back marketshare.

The same complexity is there in both cases.

However, there are techniques that allow one to compute the wave function from the Bohmian trajectories. It is just a mathematical trick that certainly does not make BM philosophically more relevant, but it rather neat. This is explored in quantum chemistry contexts. Spin is an issue that stops it from being generally useful, but depending on the context, it is possible.

Whoa, doppler shift from this mess from ocean waves, that's amazing. Looks like you registered just to reply, thanks a lot.
I think it's a pretty valid argument if you are talking about the US government having some people that understand cryptocurriencies. There's lots of situations where they need investigative capabilities (or to just understand where effort would be fruitless).

It's a stretch as a justification for things like acts of war against some other country (say some country in South America decided to back an anonymous digital currency...) or even just legislation banning crytocurrencies.
So, why only the UK then?

Could be that it's cheap EU labour combined with an English-speaking society.

Then again, you could work as an engineer without ever having to speak the local language in the Netherlands and Germany as well (to some extent, not all companies are amenable to non-native language speakers but I suppose most modern tech companies are).

What about Ireland? From cursory research engineering salaries there don't seem to be significantly different from continental Europe.

My guess is it's more about the dominance of the banking sector and its business culture, which doesn't really value engineering. After all, in banking IT often still is a mere cost centre, a necessary means to run the 'real' business.
I guess that all the money Shopify makes allows them to afford weak reasoning/engineering.

Giving your users a ruby interpreter inside your infrastructure is a terrible idea. They're just one unreported bug away from disaster!

One could think of a few alternatives, all of them involving decoupling Shopify's servers from users' scripts.

It could be anything from Docker/k8s to AWS lambda to a custom DSL. I'm not saying any option is easy - proper solutions tend to require effort.

Why People Don't Believe in Climate Science
I know, I know. Why is it so important that someone else did something conceptually similar once upon a time? Can't you see the value in standing on their shoulders and try to reach further in some direction? We're all in the same boat here, you can't own ideas. In this case I was aiming to simplify API and usage while keeping the performance, and I feel I managed to take at least a few steps in that direction.
"our media is intervened by the goverment."

This is not true at all.

There is some relationship between press and gov. but Barack Obama is in no way censoring CNN, Fox form publishing stories about bank robberies.

The 'real reason' that they don't is because their readership just does not care.

Fox News has been bashing Venezuela for years, it's crazy to suggest 'the government' is suppressing them from publishing negative stories about Venezuela.

That said - I personally wish there was more coverage.

I don't have time to read the whole case (much like the authors of the article I suspect), but as a lawyer that whole claim about "using the doctrine of clean hands to deny copyright" sounds fishy to me. Clean hands is an equitable doctrine based on case law (judge made law based on previous decisions), whereas copyright is statutory. You can't use case law and equity to avoid statutory law, that's one of the basis of our system where the legislature as elected by the people have supremacy over the laws.

I suspect what happened was the plaintiff in that case was violating another federal statute preventing the sale of obscene materials in interstate commerce and that's why they couldn't bring their copyright claim, because the were breaking the law and trying to get the court to give them the protection of the law at the same time.
Thanks!

I guess I should have said that LINQ is a bit of a mine-field; it can generate some very arcane code/ expression trees from relatively simple predicates. I would have loved to have used it (would have saved me writing a query engine), there was simple too much performance overhead (especially memory usage).
We make electronic measurement instruments. "Back in the day," sophisticated instruments evolved from laboratory curiosities to industrial products, but still required experts to set up, operate, and in some cases program.

In terms of actually downvoted, it would be some clever comment that was clever enough to attract upvotes and wrong/snarky/mean/shallow enough to attract downvotes. A clever comment might peak at 7 and finish -2.

Consequently I try to write fewer clever comments and will even delete upvoted comments from time to time.

Good luck.
Hi from Argentina!

No one sane hoards bills in a currency with a 150%-200% inflation rate. Each month that you have a storehouse full of this bills, you can imagine that the rats eat a 10%-15% of them. People usually hoard dollars or euros or something with a low inflation rate. Also, people try to hoard big bills, like US$100, not bills with a low denomination, because the shipping and handling cost.

A few years ago we also had here scarcity of bills, because we have a 30% inflation that the government refused to acknowledge and refused to print bigger bills. We have even to import bills printed in Brazil, because the local printer were not fast enough. There were a lot of conspiracy theories about the bad people hording the bills.

The new government just decided to acknowledge the inflation and print ARG$500(US$34) bills instead of ARG$100(US$7). The inflation is still high (40%), but all the supposed hoarders have magically disappeared.
It kind of does say what can be a copyrightable work - it does not give Congress the power to enact a particular kind of legislation as Congress wishes; the authority is limited to the purpose listed there - the Congress is allowed to do only the things explicitly listed there; that's how 'rights of government' work, quite opposite from rights of people. It does not say "you can do X in order to, among other things, achieve Y" - the current wording pretty much means "in general, X is prohibited. We'll allow you to do some X because it seems necessary to achieve Y, but not more than that".

Any copyright-style law made for a different purpose is simply not a valid law - the Congress has not been given authority to pass such a law, so even if they did, the law is not binding.

For any generally valid law, if parts of it don't fit the purpose, these parts are not valid law - again, the Congress has not been given authority to do this, so even if they did, that part should not be binding, and when challenged in court, may be contested and rightfully eliminated.

The abilities of government are different from abilities of people - while people, in general, can do anything not explicitly prohibited by law; the government is not allowed to do anything unless there is explicit constitutional permission that mandates that it can do so.

Oh, they noticed all right. From "U-Boat Ace" by Jordan Vause pg. 103:

"retrieved a working Enigma machine along with the documents and code keys for three months. Not surprisingly, U-Bootwaffe fortunes declined in the following months, and from that point on Doenitz remained in doubt about the Enigma cyphers his boats were using. But the experts reassured him over and over again that they were sound, and so he retained them until the end of the war."
But that's not the JS implementation - that's the DOM and layout implementation. Faster JS won't improve that.

Well it is useful for others to know the history and have other references. I am sure it is not intended to diminish your work.
I think the bus vs train analysis is missing an important dimension: travelling on the bus is unpleasant. You can't stand, your kids feel sick. The same amount of time on a train is vastly preferable.
Agree! IMHO, today smart watches are expensive fitness trackers. Rest all marketed is just meh.
I'm sorry, but the quality of comments on that question is really low, apart from one. A malicious compiler can easily insert malicious code into you executable, and if you are not able to trust your compiler or read the code it generates, then you would be better off relying on the antivirus.
Then again, with the prevailing mentality of most Windows users of installing packages from untrusted sources and running unknown binaries without understanding the risks, it is not surprising.
A big difference is that standard analysis is well-defined on its own. The standard Copenhagen interpretation is simply not a well-defined theory because measurement is not well-defined, e.g., the cat problem.

A more appropriate analogy to the SA v NSA would be GRW formulation vs Bohmian or even a well-defined many worlds (that does exist, but it does not involve splitting of worlds which is as problematic as collapse). These are different theories and they can lead to different generalizations.

In particular, GRW seems more amenable to being relativistic without adding a foliation or some other structure.

Bohmiam mechanics, on the other hand, does requires using a foliation though there are possibilities to use within the existing structures:
https://arxiv.org/abs/1307.1714

I also think NSA has a naming problem. By its very name, how can it ever be standard?

I think the issue is also that the limit fits in with numerical analysis in that it talks about errors. NSA sounds like it skips the error analysis and is only concerned with stuff at the limit which is certainly useful in many instances, but not always.
This also could just be a test sample that's in the system. There are a few test codes for antiviruses and these companies may be using these as test binaries.
The criticisms of Rosling seem to surround around him painting with a broad brush and forming distilled conclusions. The trouble is that if Rosling were to dive into the details of these data and leave out conclusions the average person listening would get lost, have no actionable thesis, or both. I would include myself to be among these people.

The admirable thing about his presentations are that he encourages his listeners to trust data and question their preconceptions.

Certainly his methodolgy is not perfect. However, given how the public forms decisions right now (See US presidential election), I can't help but think this mentality is exactly what is needed.
I would have figured that a bigger strength of Nix in all this is that it does not have assumption 4. With Nix you can have any number of variants of a dependency installed, and each package will find the one it needs.
The theory is more parsimonious. Whether it generates untold amounts of parallel universes is immaterial to its own Kolmogorov complexity.

Many worlds basically says "the wave function is real". You just take what the math says at face value, and the math says there's a blob of amplitude where the cat is alive, and another blob of amplitude where the cat is dead, and those blobs do not interact.

Copenhagen adds something on top of the math: a kind of "collapse" where the blob you did not observe gets mysteriously zeroed out. There's only one universe, which looks simpler, but the theory itself is more complex, because you just added that collapse.

Pilot Wave (of which I know nothing) seems to add a similar complexity. There's no collapse, but there's this additional non-local "wave" that's laid out on top of everything, and determines which of the blobs is real (the dead cat blob or the live cat blob).

Think Chess vs Go. Chess has rather complex rules, with an initial position, moves for 6 different pieces, and a couple special cases. Go's rules on the other hand can fit on one page. So, Go is simpler. However, in terms of possibilities, the universe generated by the Go rules is orders of magnitudes bigger than Chess'. Simpler rules can lead to more diverse possibilities. Quantum physics interpretations are similar: Many Worlds have the simplest rules, but it also describes the biggest universe.
Now thinking about it a bit, there may be a sort of survivor bias thing going on. The "older tech workers" are largely the ones who stayed in tech, rather than going into management. We're the ones who managed to keep ourselves competitive, and survive the politics, for a few decades.
I was trying to think of how to say the same and thought "sexy-c" might work. Cool project.
