Chip + Sign reduces 80% of classic fraud. Chip + PIN reduces ~98% (last I heard in 2016).

Someone I spoke to at capital one said that Visa/MS decided to do Chip+Sign in the US due to the increased support costs of forgotten PINs.
The conflict resolution problem was traditionally solved just by taking the first seen valid transaction and disregarding any subsequent conflicting transactions. That of course is not necessarily profit maximizing, so current implementations generally allow replacing the transaction as long as it pays an incrementally higher fee than the one it's replacing (the increment usually being the same as the minimum fee you mentioned).

Non-mining nodes have to implement a similar policy, as it's also used for preventing DoS on the P2P network.

The idea of solving any problems for an industry that you haven't worked in for at least a couple of years is ludicrous.
I'm sure there have been examples of this happening a few times, but it's almost always the exception rather than the rule.

This is especially true when it comes to high level problems in most industries. In most cases there are a few hundred or more smaller issues that add up to create the bigger high level problems, and those issues are almost never even considered when the startups try to disrupt the industry.

Every industry, no matter how small is going to have issues the derive from third parties and outside players that can't be solved by a twist of the business model.

There are a lot of old timers using very old dos era applications in their day to day business, and if you really spend time with them and learn their business you'll learn there is almost always a very valid reason that they haven't switched the latest greatest web-app software that startup founders tend to think can solve all of their problems.

The moral of the story is, founders need to stop trying to swoop in and disrupt industries where they don't even have a clue of the real pain points, and their SaaS solution would just be a new coat of paint on on old issue that isn't solved.
Already there if you count inferring things people would prefer to keep private by looking at probabilities given their visible activity.

because a ticket is not really a ticket. it is more like an agreement that if you show up at the airport and the airlins is down to transporting you, they could go through with that plan.

when you book a ticket, it says in the fineprint that you acquiring that ticket doesnt mean that you get to fly.

it is more like a bank pretending to have your exact balance available at all times. in fact, they do not. they kinda bet on the fact that not all customers want to cash out at the same time, which works almost all the time except when the banking sector melts down and all customers try to cash out at once and then banks have to admit that they cant really pay you out even if they wanted to.

Wealthy people getting tax dollars to pay for their risk mitigation. What else is new.

I do feel sorry for older, poorer communities that may have their homes and assets wiped out. To the extent they haven't already been replaced by newer, wealth-targeted construction. I hear it's increasingly difficult to even find an "old style" Florida community directly on the coast. About... 20 years ago (yikes!), I got to spend a couple of weeks in one that was in the process of having its beach front turned into high-rises. I understand that is complete, now.
All of those problems are currently faced by bikes versus cars. Massive speed differences, unpredictability in their movement patterns, people not operating according to common sense or the law. Cars often cross their center line too, so you can't argue that pedestrians crossing the center line is a novel concept.

Again I'm not saying that bikes on sidewalks is a good idea. But it's a hell of a lot better of an idea than bikes on roads. You can make up a million reasons why it won't work, but all of them are overshadowed by the huge amounts of cyclists who get killed or seriously injured by motorists every year.

How many cyclists need to be killed because pedestrians don't want to have to walk in a straight line?
How do you pay for tickets in Vienna then?

I kind of like the barriers, if you are on the station platform, then you have definitely paid. For me, the stations that don't have barriers are more stressful, as you run the risk of forgetting to tap your card (or the tap not registering) and incurring a maximum fare.
That is why people stuck to Wordperfect and Lotus Smartsuite bundles instead of Microsoft Office. Until new versions of Windows broke the third party office apps.

GRR Martin still uses Wordstar in a DOS machine because he doesn't trust Windows to not crash or reboot on him and lose his data.

Problem is the Microsoft tax on Intel or AMD PCs that OEMs have to pay even if they don't install Windows or Office. But now Office 2016 is installed but user needs to buy a key to use it for activation.

I suggest that people use Libreoffice because it can read docx files etc.
As I said before I have no problem with neovim. Yet, I'm reading HN from about 3 years and I see more and more posts like quoted above. Even in this thread was one or two - dunno where they are now.

My point here is only to learn first and extend further. Not throw yourself into high water with SpaceVim and than say how much vim or neovim is bloated.
That's interesting. I grew up around there and would definitely consider moving back one day to be around family.

In almost every case, the lawyers are the problem not the solution.
Because a lot of comments here seem to be very skittish due to security risks due to C++'s power, yet seem to reflect zero interest in pushing one's skills to a level where avoiding those pitfalls is second-nature. Further, since people here seem to be very invested in <sarcasm>futuristic</sarcasm> technologies and <sarcasm>disruption</sarcasm> they are naturally inclined to knock C++ just because, and then rationalize it with some technical bullshit.

Whatever it is, it may have bad manifestations in larger cities, but there's no denying the Japanese have always had a special sort of sacred way of getting impressive things done.
New learning drives out old learning when insufficient time intervenes

Study until your learning quota is depleted. Stop, wait for it to replenish 100%. Repeat. With the right study material you can learn anything provided you have the prerequisites to learn it. If you don't, learn the prerequisite to the prerequisite you need.
If I had just seen that, I would have just assumed that was the site!
Docker the company looking into other host OSs would make sense to me for two reasons:

- RedHat eating Docker's lunch, and dominating Linux development

- the somewhat questionable practice of using Docker as a GPL-circumvention device (eg. commercial images pulling a Debian/Ubuntu userland on first load), though I'm unsure about the legal implications

The Science Behind Successful Recipes
I for one think it's fantastic that you were open to modeling the project in this way. It seems to me that there is a lot of hostility thrown at Docker in this thread because people assumed the worst based on a comment in a pull request. This is a good thing for Docker and a good thing for the Docker community and containerization in general.
For me who is comfortable in inkscape or illustrator my issue has been a library thing when it comes to using SVG. You end up having to try and strip out half the rendering engine of something way too big (Skia, Cairo) for your one off thing and it just ends up dominating the complexity of the project in the early stages.

It feels that there isn't a really great SVG library to build consensus around compared to a lot of other things that people can hack on.
Things like this are the most frustrating kinds of bugs. It's a simple problem with a complex cause and not a clear solution.

These little bugs are what I feel like make software so frustrating.

But where do you draw the line on risk? Pretty much everywhere you live has some form of risk. If it's not earthquakes, or flooding, it's tornadoes, or drought, or hurricanes, etc.

Part of the point of having civilization is as a kind of insurance. If you live in a once-in-every-two-hundred-years-massive-flood-plain, are you saying living there is risky and the government should not have emergency disaster relief?

Most of the coastal cities in the US including Manhattan, could be under water from global warming in the future. Are we saying that people who move to New York city should be aware of increased potential for damage from global warming?

And if they should be aware of these things, perhaps we should stop ignoring global warming in our political system. It'll be cheaper to mitigate it earlier, than way 50 years for flooding to massively increase.

I don't know what was promised by Plastc exactly but I assume you need to register your card numbers somewhere (like with Apple Pay) and then when you use your Plastc card to pay (with chip and PIN or not), their back-end issues a payment transaction using the selected card. Am I wrong?

Over here in Europe we have Curve that does exactly that, without the fancy hardware: https://www.imaginecurve.com

"[...] we ask you to say the phrases "Ok Google" and "Hey Google" two times each. Those phrases are then analyzed by a neural network, which can detect certain characteristics of a person's voice."

So two phrases is all this needs. Good to know. Allowing only registered users to use it might stop things like that burger king tv add that supposedly triggered Home.

Does this mean my voice can be used to finger print me? All i need to use is google voice function on my phone twice or maybe not even that if its listening? Seems like it. Thought I don't know what this will mean. Gait, sentimental and voice analysis seems kinda scary.
It's fairly normal. In the first world, we waste a lot of food because consumers can afford to be picky or forgetful. In the third world, they waste a lot of food because storage and distribution infrastructure is worse.
And taking the train dramatically reduces the risk of being in an automobile accident.

Another inconvenient conclusion that's being denied is that memory safety errors are at their core due to bad assumptions and logic errors which sadly can't be caught by compilers yet. Memory safe languages make it harder to create a specific types of vulnerabilities and can even keep them in check when they occur which is real a tangible benefit, but those same assumptions and errors will just produce different vulnerabilities.

I love Rust -- it's quickly becoming a favorite language of mine, but at some level we have to be realistic that it doesn't solve all the world's problems and evangelizing that everything be rewritten in it or another memory safe language is the programming language equivalent of saying, "you should try using machine learning."

I learnt git when I started college and then discovered Mercurial when I started contributing to Firefox. It was painful at first but after some really good reading of the Mozilla Version Control Tools docs and the Hg Tutorial by Joel Spolsky and some blogs regarding the Mozilla contribution and coding workflow I started liking Hg better than git.

Mercurial has a more sane way of referring to commits and traversing the history. They now also have different kinds of branching models. You can even maintain multiple checkouts of a repo using a single clone which is great and saves me from having to checkout branches when I want to work on another feature. (Imagine checking out 3.5 mn files each time you wanted to change branches).

In, my opinion, Mercurial scales better but suffers from the unintuitive names and lack of enough people talking about it.

This.

Because user stories aren't: "I want to access my Office365 work account" or "I want to access my personal Microsoft account".

> Who will be able to use the Docker trademark?

Docker.

> If someone built a fork of Docker CE from Moby, can they still call it Docker?

No.

> What about distribution packagers?

We're still working this out, with the guidance of a few distro packagers. There will most likely be a change of some sort, but don't want to rush anything until we are certain that it won't break users.

> Right now a single binary ('docker') is used to build images and runs clusters (among other things). As the monolith is broken down, will the new binaries still be named/branded 'docker'?

Yes. The same 'docker' binary will continue to exist. We are going to spin it out into its own repository under the docker github org. It will only act as a client, and we will encourage the development of a healthy ecosystem of alternative clients.

> Will there be rules about packaging only some of them?

Basically only Docker can create something called "Docker". Everything else will be regular open-source project rules: build, patch, package any way you want.

> Will Docker CE/EE still have a single binary for all purposes?

It depends on the target platform. Docker for Linux is a deb or rpm package with several binaries. Docker for AWS is a Cloudformation template. Docker for Mac is a Mac application with a very complex array of components built in. etc.

BFQ I/O Scheduler Queued for Linux 4.12 – Phoronix
Yea, it's probably true that it incentivizes China to develop it's own tech (most notably super computer chips) but to develop something from square-one takes a lot of resources. It's a lot easier to reverse engineer something you bought and use it to build your own then it is to develop something from a concept. If everyone has to spend their time reinventing the wheel, they're not doing other things.

As far as the trade imbalance, the things that would fall under ITAR (the only goods that are significantly restricted) are not particularly significant on a global trade scale. Yes, the US could sell a few billion dollars worth of F-22 jets to China, but that still wouldn't make a dent, and to acquire the tech, China would only have to buy one.
It gives you dev ops out of the box. For small projects it has its merits. For most developers tinkering with the server isn't high in their priority list. I'm with you on dedicated but if I were to run an asynchronous crawler I'd rather go with AWS and save me the trouble of setting up the proper environment.

A good alternative in my opinion would be just to make some parts optional.

That's actually a big plus in my book.

Welcome to the development of Matlab-style code. It can be pretty disheartening to see a complicated hand-crafted algorithm replaced by, say, a matrix multiplication. Try to find Matlab/numpy implementations from paper authors. This programming style is a bit difficult to get used to initially. But it will become incredibly powerful as you start thinking in algebraic operations.

Also, don't do debug runs on the full data. Implement ideas with a subset that computes fast. Then simplify the code and make it fast. Then run it on the full dataset.

If you absolutely need to combine linear algebra operations with fast imperative code, have a go at the Julia language [1] or use a C++ library like Eigen [2] or Armadillo [3].

Because without a legal contract to cover support, you don't have someone that contractually has to answer your call.

You might not care about this, and many don't. You're running the risk that the maintainers won't pack up shop and stop maintaining the project, and that you & your team will need to inherit the project.

Other way of looking at it, is that if you're a business, you always should pay for your software, even if it's open source. Because you will one way or another: through your team, or through the risk that free riding brings.

Don't judge them until you walk a mile in their shoes. When you worked on something for years, you still maintain hope, and you're wrestling with doubt every day being "transparent" isn't so easy.

Having to wrestle with this was the hardest part of my job at RethinkDB, and any time I hear of someone who had to deal with it I want to wrap them in a blanket and buy them hot cocoa (laced with bourbon).

If that is the case, then every browser engine, as well as every piece of large-scale network-facing software worked on by teams using reasonable development practices in C++ is written by unskilled programmers, since all of that software has vulnerabilities. In particular, you're saying that Google hires programmers unskilled in C++. Is that your argument?

> rationalize it with some technical bullshit.

If arguments about C++ are "technical bullshit", you should easily be able to explain why virtually no large-scale C++ project has been free of memory safety problems.
My gut idealist wants to disagree with you, but the rational economist in my head is telling me you're correct.

We shouldn't hold individually rational (net benefit) decisions against someone's principles.
