The saddest part of this whole thing to me is how it has destroyed the bitcoin community. Just a few years ago, we were close-knit and friendly. We loved "to the mooon!" memes every time the price rose. Every new business accepting bitcoin was an excuse to throw a party. We organized meetups and talked tech and wrote wild essays about what it would take to replace government-backed currencies across the world. We were nerds and dreamers and it was fun.

Over the last 6 months, all that has been replaced with suspicion and hate. Both sides now have their own heavily-moderated forums that mostly don't tolerate dissent from the party line. There are elaborate theories getting posted about why those who disagree with you are really all part of some huge conspiracy or astroturfing campaign. Naturally, there is not a shred of evidence for any of this.

I miss the old days.
interesting perspective. my first impression was that this was a v1 test for getting into the on demand delivery business that Postmates is in right now.
Let's not compare economic apples and oranges

Doctors don't make minimum wage

Why should most employees who could be better off if Walmart just paid more spend MORE time working to support Walmarts interests

Because they don't have any other real options. That's the real manipulation

Doctors on the other hand can drop out of medicine and have life experiences and/or education to take them in a number of directions

Definitely: it doesn't make much sense to move away from a hash that doesn't seem in danger of being broken, just because it is old — a clever new attack can be found for a newer hash, too (or for both).

Besides, usually there's a lapse of time between finding a major weakness and a practical collision.

On the other hand, when picking a hash… well, having a faster and less error-prone hash is nice.

Overall, I feel lucky to have such great choice.
Would it also be fair to say that novel math could just as easily be discovered that would break SHA-3, and so, switching to SHA-3 would not reduce risk? (Or, worse: might it increase it, since the SHA-3 constructions have been subject to less cryptographic research and so might be more likely to fall to some kind of new math?)
Nope, naval nukes to not use PALs. Assuming a boat at a defcon level such that the keys are out of the safe you would need the captain and xo to agree and launch (assuming tacit agreement from weapons officer, comm, and most of the rest of the boat who could all in theory simply overpower someone trying to launch without valid orders or sabotage the necessary systems to prevent launch.)
I understand the concerns. They're absolutely valid. But I suspect a huge, multinational corporation like Walmart has likely done their due-diligence here. Or maybe I'm just feeling optimistic today.

>Instead of paying their employees a living wage

Are you operating on old assumptions? The average hourly wage is $13.38 for full-time workers and $10.58 per hour for part-timers [1]. While that might not get you far in the bay area (which doesn't have many Walmarts FWIW), its a pretty good wage for unskilled labor in much of the interior country (which is prime Walmart territory)...

Edit: Sorry, when I said bay area I was thinking of the area immediately surrounding San Francisco.

Open Source is not Free software, nor are most of the projects on GitHub intended for anyone to use. Consider how well documented projects under the GNU banner are. Im sure this is a problem for some projects, but free software is not suffering because of it.

I've recently started using Sublime again. There's a package called EasyClangComplete that does a surprisingly good job of auto-completing C/C++ code (yes it works!) and I like that Sublime uses less than 256mb of RAM most of the time.

Also unlike VSCode it doesn't phone home every 60 seconds. I stopped using VSCode when I noticed the ridiculous amount of telemetry.

You think the average HN employee works shifts at Wal-mart? No, it's people here cheering other's exploitation (in the name of the mythical "freedom").
What normally determines a monopoly is market or pricing power—the ability to raise prices in some range without losing customers to competitors.

It's plausible that Google has market/pricing power in search advertising. It's less plausible that they have that in search.

I think Google put lot of marketing budget for Dart. But I don't see it ever comes in discussion regarding popularity or lack of it.

It is fine a lot of people do not like Go but claiming its popular just because of Google seems baseless.
This tool reflects that profit by assuming a current strike price based on average valuation changes between rounds. Instead of saying that you get the full value of the stock you buy, the calculation takes into account that you also have to purchase the stock.

This tool doesn't explain the dynamics going into the estimated profits (though it links to things that do), but it helps people avoid over-estimating the value by missing dynamics like strike price.

Sure, but that only makes sense if there's a reason to anticipate unusual problems.

Like, if Walmart was offering employees extra money to dispose of toxic waste or collect debts from delinquent customers or something, I'd see a huge potential for abuse and wouldn't consider it to be at all a good idea. Those things need special training and the potential for problems is high.

But this is package delivery. It's a relatively unskilled, low-end job. Its abuse potential seems to be to be on the same level as the abuse potential of, say, lifting boxes, or stocking shelves, or mopping floors. "Walmart pays people to stock shelves" wouldn't get anyone up in arms, so why would this?

This isn't just a problem in open source. It is a huge problem in corporate internal software too.

Most OSS projects that expect to receive (and actually get) the attention of users or contributors tend to work harder on better documentation.
This is a problem in some really major codebases too.

I routinely curse whoever wrote the "docs" for openCV.
Doesn't this also apply to their normal duties? Are we also going to be upset about Walmart paying people to run the cash registers?
Your opinion is not only at odds with the majority on this site, but also with almost every climate scientist on the planet. We tend to respect the scientific method on HN. If you're going to claim that every climate scientist is wrong, you'll at least need to speak from a position of authority or preferably show some evidence to back up your opinion.

If you kick a bad player and then have a bot that listens to the hold this position command, then one of your top frags can run and gun in to get information and play more aggressive. If they die they can pick up the bot and be more useful than the guy with 2 kills that doesn't have a mic and is playing music all game.
It's more like the other way around. Small businesses are much more sensitive to increases in wages than big efficient companies like walmart. That's why Walmart has supported increases in the minimum wage in the past, because they know it hurts their competitors more than them. They just increase their prices and put the increased costs onto consumers and keep the same profit.

But even if it wasn't this way, so what? Walmart isn't making their employees worse off. They are giving them low skill jobs that the economy is desperately short on. Companies like Apple hire orders of magnitude less low skill employees relative to their profit than Walmart.

No one is protesting Apple over that. If we just taxed companies like that bit more, and distributed the money amongst the poor, it would be vastly more effective than making walmart pay a few percent more. In a few years Walmart will automate most of their jobs anyways. As many industries already have. Increasing the minimum wage doesn't solve that.
This is the comment I was hoping to see. Real scenarios and issues that the hand-wavy policy doesn't make clear, and that delivery operations deal with all the time.

I think it depends on what we define as "problem solving". If we're talking about the problems that come with actually doing what you mean to do, sure. If we're talking about working around the problems with your software stack that don't actually relate to the end goal, then I'd have to say no.

Yes. Supporting local businesses and non-chain brands is one of the best things one can do from a demand/user side of things.

Most if not all European ones will, in fact. First, they wouldn't even know you were "yelling" that on Facebook, second, the border guards who can barely be bothered to make sure your photo matches your face definitely won't care either.

They're not insecure about themselves, as societies, the way America seems to be lately. So sensitive!

It seems awfully weird to rebut someone who says they're doing large-scale optimization on specialized cluster compilers with better languages than C/C++ by compiling something first with -O0 and then with -Ofast.
They have, even in the mini copters, like the Nano CPX, for $99. This doesn't have the self leveling, but I think that's a much harder problem with a heli at a reasonable angle.

'Gartner Inc. financial fraud analyst Avivah Litan said she has long discouraged companies from using cloud-based single sign-on services, arguing that they are the digital equivalent to an organization putting all of its eggs in one basket.'

So it's better if that single point of failure the company puts all its eggs into is a hacked piece of shit by an engineer who couldn't build a secure login system if his life depended on it? This is a serious question and one that I've been struggling with at my current work and at every other job I've had in this industry without exaggeration. Plaintext passwords, passwords encrypted with an easily obtainable key, insecure hashes, no salts, etc. These things are the norm in DIY login schemes. This is what the quoted financial fraud analyst thinks is better and Krebs thinks is worth repeating? This should be the main point of discussion here, yet it's brushed off by the advice of a financial fraud analyst? Oh, our industry is fucked and I just lost a ton of respect for Krebs' reporting.

Those are immense differences. The TP course seems pretty solid, but the ordinary Physics program seems to have significant gaps, even granting that not every undergrad might need much differential geometry.
It's not about C holdouts being unreasonable at all. They're only mentioned in the first three paragraphs of the article. The article isn't about C or C++. It's about why you and I are arguing right now: we're both irrational.
Hence the rise of the pop up store.

99 cent stores, beauty supply stores, and Halloween supply stores work this way too - easy move in/out, generic and cheap merchandise used by a wide audience that doesn't want to buy online, and so they can take advantage of short-term leases.
It looks more likely to me that someone made a calculation mistake. So easy to mess up an aggregation. But IMO, if the output is unexpected it's usually because you've done it wrong rather than because you've discovered that 30 year old men secretly prefer 65 year old women :)
One thing to remember in all of this is that services like OneLogin are likely a huge upgrade in security for their customers. They lower the barriers for moving away from things like shared passwords and poorly functioning in-house SSO setups.

It's easy for a Gartner analyst to sit behind a desk and pontificate about the ultimate-most-secure single-sign-on, but resource constraints are a thing. SaaS SSO is a very reasonable compromise for those who don't have the time, money, or talent to invest in on-premise infrastructure.

utter nonsense. Walmart makes 131 BILLION dollars a year in pure profit [1]. Obviuosly, forcing walmart to pay their employees more could lead to them making less profit and the poor being better off.

EDIT: Basically there is no correlation between walmart's costs and how much the consumer pays.

This is software development. We are not professionals, and I sometimes say there is no such thing as "software engineer". I am an engineer by education (EE) and I can tell you software development is a long way from being a regulatable profession. Heck if you want to install an outlet or a faucet in your home you need to be properly licensed and insured. But when it comes to developing software that arguably is having more and more importance on people's lives there is no such thing.
Interesting view.

You mention many problems.

Most of them can be solved with data gathering - what's this unmarked address, which is the relevant unit, what the right access path, which workers do and don't give a shit, etc.

and with the right app, and so many employees, you can gather all that data relatively fast, assuming some repeat orders.

Heck, maybe do that with augmented reality via phone, to make it dead simple.

Also, if the employee still can find where to go, some sort of remote help from another employee can be had.
Per the TechCrunch article, workers need to submit proof-of-insurance to participate.

The wear-and-tear is going on employee vehicles rather than company vehicles, the additional distance they travel will increase their personal insurance rates, and as with rideshare they will need to pay additional riders on their policies. (If they don't have the riders their policies will be canceled as soon as they make a claim!)

These additional costs make the deal worse for employees and better for Walmart in ways which are hard for the workers to understand. But I guarantee you that Walmart has studied it to death and knows exactly what advantage it brings them!
So, if, let's say, one knows all the relevant mathematics, how much is left as the (theoretical) physics proper? I mean, sure, we have all these fundamental constants and elementary particles to learn about, but is there anything else that is essentially physics and not math?

"Don't know how"? [A] flaw in human nature is that everybody wants to build and nobody wants to do maintenance (Vonnegut). Most free software projects are entirely built by volunteers contributing what they want to. I don't know how much offering classes on "how" would help; it feels like leading a horse onto a boat.

Also, the poll seems a suspect way to support the idea that more documentation is justified; I agree with that idea, and TFA has other arguments supporting the point, but I question the utility of the poll as an argument. Developers would like better documentation of the libraries they are using, but they would. In a Pareto-optimal scenario where exactly the right amount of work was put into documentation, developers would still want better documentation. And I would want a pony.

Practical Graph Theory in Ruby
How do these work? Does it drop a secret file on your computer somewhere that says "installed at timestamp X"? Does each download include "downloaded at timestamp X" as part of the app (so the user can just download it again)? Does it send some piece of data back to the server saying "person X started the trial at time Y"?

I'm leaning towards a partially-featured free version that works for all time, but I'm willing to be convinced otherwise.
well AFAIK you can keep cranking the work factor as high as you like, so realistically one algorithm with a high work factor is likely to be better as it's a simpler thing to implement and has no drawbacks in terms of security.

Personally, I struggle to see the competitive advantage Quantopian brings. They use retail brokerage platforms to facilitate trading, which rules out anything close to HFT. Then, they are tied to any financial data vendor (Morningstar in this case) to not offer too much visibility on the underlying data. As others have mentioned, this makes it tough to validate aspects like adjusted vs. as reported earnings, how delistings are handled, etc. From my experience, getting/making sure the data is accurate is a ton of work, even if it is from good sources and you can see all the actual data. The moment an investor/trader on the platform gets traction is the moment they want Compustat data, exchange data, Bloomberg for fixed income, and will trade through Instinet/Flextrade, etc. The moment the platform is successful is the moment Morningstar could pull the rug out from them. If someone has better understanding or knowledge on Quantopian in particular, I'd be interested to hear why.
If you write a syntactically and semantically correct go program it will compile. Can you give an example?
