Well, have a look at United States v. Kane, it basically indicates that if you don't exceed authorized access you're in the clear. It's hard to say that posting a cryptographic signature to a network design to accept them from anyone exceeds authorized access if pushing buttons to trigger an exploit on a poker machine doesn't.

I'm sure you could have a pretty good argument in court if they went after you using CFAA. Other theft and fraud laws might cover it without issue though, just saying CFAA might not be the right choice here.
Don't forget that PowerBI also has R embedded/integrated. There are some limitations in how you can use R to produce custom visualizations, but this tight integration is a real plus, in my opinion. Combined with the Excel-like functionality that is also embedded in PowerBI for data reshaping, PowerBI has a clear advantage in terms of flexibility and raw power. I personally can't speak to Qlik, but PowerBI has Tableau beat in this respect. Much of the data reshaping etc. in Tableau happens outside of Tableau. This can introduce some challenges in process.
> My message to you is right there in the same thread in my client. Don't send it back to me.

I do inline replies and all, but I still leave the quoted rest of the thread at the end of the message. If the recipient doesn't need it, they are free to ignore it. If the recipient needs it, then it's there. Many people don't use threaded email clients, or don't have access to the previous messages for whatever reason, and I don't want to second-guess how my recipient does things.

As long as it's clear where my reply ends and that there's nothing hidden at the end of the quoted previous messages, I really don't see the harm.

Are you upstate? In the stores I've used around NYC, the Instacart presence in WF is huge. Branded coolers by the doors for deliveries waiting to go out and everything.
> Well, even though most stores don't acknowledge it, how much do you want to bet there are stores that install 3G/4G cell jammers to prevent you from using your mobile to look up anything while in-store?

Actual jammers? Unlikely because it's highly illegal, quite detectable, and will cost more than anyone could hope to gain by it.

Deliberate, passive measures that practically impede indoor reception may happen, though.

> The legal industry is tremendously competitive.

That's got to be one of the funniest things on HN ever.

The hell it is. The fact that dozens of potential choices exist does not mean a market is competitive, you are missing the possibility of price fixing on an industry wide scale.
It's funny because Seattle has and has been having a serious problem with NIMBYism for a while now. We're headed towards being the next SF and nobody's willing to give up their sweet single family housing designation to save the place. Same issue for our abysmal mass transit - a hyper-wealthy island community between Seattle and Bellevue is raising taxes to fund a law suit against WSDOT to stop light rail from going through their area because it would cost them dedicated single occupancy use of the HOV lanes. Can't make this shit up.
...you can do whatever you like with the device once it is in your possession....

But you literally cant. Isn't that the point at issue ?

I marvel at many responses here that explain this to a "design" issue, "this is what the market wants". No it is not. It is a malicious attempt by Msft to dispossess you of your money and what used to be an unwritten consumer right. We are expected to accept this as the new normal.
These companies (msft,apple, etc) are treading the same path as Deere, the tractor makers. How has that turned out for farmers ?
I am well aware of the quote and its use in stopping analysis for a further reason, because it is the reason.

I don't see why there is a threshold between moonshot and mars colonization, it seems arbitrary to me. Could you explain to me the method for determining the threshold of validity in the reasoning behind "Because it's there"?
This is exciting...godspeed. In almost every big company I have either worked at or done business with, the legal team (in-house and external) was a bottleneck when trying to get something significant done in a reasonable time frame.

In most cases it wasn't because they objected to what was trying to be done or that they were lazy (they always seemed to work the longest hours). They just never seem to have the cycles to focus on what needed to be reviewed.

I hope these efforts can help make that part of my world a little more efficient.
Watching this video (and part 2), I keep thinking about Steve Jobs. I won't be surprised that Mr Jobs studied it before.
I've often thought it would be interesting to see an ebook format that would allow one to toggle between versions of the text or display text inline as some kind of diff.

I say this because there are some authors that I read who have revised their works many times, and sometimes I prefer an earlier version over a later revision.
That's a valid observation, but I'm inclined to think that doctors prescribe lots of drugs because the FDA standards are so high (arguably too high). If you essentially have zero liability for prescribing drugs because they have all been shown to be safe, then there's no reason not to.

But the bottleneck isn't what doctors are willing to prescribe, it's what drug companies are willing/able to get through FDA approval, which is a bit different.

(To be clear, I'm in full support of further research into these chemicals; just interested in all of the reasons that they are not as well researched.)
Instacart is both very and not really important to Whole Foods
I happened to talk to one of the MOCA curators who put together Dan Flavin's recent retrospective at MOCA in LA. The work, as described in TFA, is (famously) made of fluorescent tubes in very simple arrangements (e.g., https://www.moca.org/collection/work/monument-for-v-tatlin). Because of the simplicity, small color changes are noticeable, and really affect your perception of the piece. The conservation crew had to drive out to a warehouse in Arizona which still had leftovers of the same tubes used in the original piece. In a hypothetical future retrospective, she had no idea where the tubes were going to come from. They bought a bunch. ;-)

Another example is Nam June Paik's early installations with massed televisions. They are CRT televisions - he liked that form and it is integral to the way his pieces look -- and they tend to break down over time. Here's a nice piece on conserving an intricate piece of his: https://www.moma.org/explore/inside_out/2013/04/15/conservin...

Exactly. They article compared crypto to the wire cutters, but it can just as easily be used to make barbed wire.
Amazon Fresh cannot keep stuff in stock. Whole Foods can. Even if they have people running around with shopping carts in the store, you'd probably achieve a better result than what Fresh is doing today in many areas.

Medications have absolutely nothing to do with food. I am puzzled by your comment. There are, sure, some anti-vaxxers and alternative health kool-aid drinkers who shop at Whole Foods, but I'm pretty sure that's like 1% or so of their clientele.

You can't generalize a target market by the fringe groups that might be part of it.
I would think the biggest market for this phone though would be this who are price sensitive. The market of people getting one to be more productive at work or for other reasons (being simpler maybe) would seem to be very small.

My first thought was those who didn't want to have access to an unfiltered internet (frum/religious).

It is a shame that this was flagged on the basis of the title. It is an interesting article with a thesis other than that implied by the clickbait title.
I've found every email client, mutt included, to be exceedingly difficult when trying to view your replies in the context of email thread. Gmail is the only one that does this seamlessly. If you get a ton of email, but never reply, or fire off so many replies that you never look back on them, maybe mutt works for you. For me the value of email and email clients is viewing the conversation as a thread, which importantly, must include my replies. You can find a few blog posts about configuring Mutt this way, it's complicated, convoluted, and always has side effects, like bcc'ing yourself. Outlook isn't all that much better in this regard as well, it does show your replies, but seems to loose them, or omit many from the thread.
"There's insufficient air to breath."

Only if we don't make the air ourselves, which is totally doable because...

"No plants will grow there."

They'll grow in greenhouses, and they'll even grow with Martian soil, probably even with the carbon dioxide that makes up the majority of the Martian atmosphere. Some clever genetic engineering might allow plants to grow outside of greenhouses. Mars is cold, but not that cold compared to other worlds in our solar system.

"There's no industry"

We're talking about a colony of a million people or more. With that kind of workforce available, bootstrapping an industrial complex is not insurmountable.

"water required"

Mars has actual ice caps. It might even have liquid water.

The water's not nearly as abundant as, say, Ceres (which is a giant sphere of water ice and rock), but it's not scarce, either. Just gotta land in the right spot.

This is a great question. Are there any open and fee apis where one can look up a publicly traded stock and get out dividends paid out over a time period? Surely that's at least as interesting as the rise and fall of the stock price.

>>One could make the argument that beat #3 is an echo of #1. But then beat #2 couldn't also be an echo of beat #1.

That isn't true! Beat #1 can have an infinite number of echos.

N.B.: When I was initially thinking about this I was thinking of subsequent beats as "echos," and I mentioned the echo concept here in the hope that it would be something concrete and instantly relatable. But the echo concept only goes so far, because the "echos" don't have to sound like the original (orig: crash! echo: whistle), and the echos can be removed and replaced over time (say, a change every 4 bars).

The concept of an "echo" is that

1. It comes after the "cause"
2. It's less accentuated

The theory is supposed to describe how rhythms sound to the ear. The concept is that the listener builds a theory of "what goes with what", i.e. they break the rhythm down into groups of sounds and form a tree of causation. Presumably, this is how we are able to perceive very complex rhythms: we unconsciously form a tree where earlier sounds "cause" later sounds, and this breaks the rhythm down and makes it easier to build a mental model of how the rhythm works. Your mind internalizes the rhythm and anticipates what's coming next. Rather than treat each sound as independent, we just remember transitions from one sound to the next.

For example, when listening to a rhythm, you construct rules like:

"Boom" comes before "whoosh"

So you hear "boom" and you start expecting "whoosh". It will sound awkward if "boom" goes away and "whoosh" remains in place, because you thought "whoosh" was caused by "boom". It will sound slightly less awkward if "whoosh" goes away but "boom" stays.
Amazon could get rid of the big bullshit medicine section that Whole Foods has and replace it with useful products.
I suspect yes, because Lotus Notes was briefly very fashionable for corporate communication, and apparently supported NNTP, according to this article (PC Magazine, 24 Feb 1998):

Yes, it is.

No, the cash is owned by the corporation. The shareholders own the right to participate in corporate governance in the degree appropriate to the particular shares they own, and own the right to take ownership of a particular share of the net assets if and when the corporation should be dissolved.

They do not, either in theory or in practice, own the assets of the corporation while it exists.

Add in that you get to try all the cool things like most others do (Savings Catcher, Scan n' Go, Grocery Pickup) and you get a substantial boost to the value.

There is a thing in trading we call a drop copy that is basically a side channel verification of trades (besides the normal execution messages you get in the order stream). House trades and street (market) trades are constantly being verified and double checked against each other.

I did the same, it was paid (at a very fair rate, IIRC). They flew me in, paid for travel and accommodation, and the daily rate for three days.

The guys there even took me to dinner at a very nice fancy restaurant on the last day (even though I just wanted burritos!). Overall, it was a very good experience.
Reading email content is a different problem altogether technically and legally - so it's not a valid comparison. That's not what inspect means [1] packet attributes, ports for POST/GET, headers and routing are typically the data inspected. If Starbucks wanted to block or log how many people are hitting a GMail IP, however then yes that is their prerogative.

That said if you're doing email over bare HTTP then you're broadcasting that data publicly over RF anyway.

No way. You can grow vegetables for almost nothing.

That's an incredibly insulting and dismissive framing of the issue.

AG jeans are the brand I wore for a long time. They fit great and flatter me right out of the box, no tailoring required.

But the material is a bit thinner and doesn't hold up as well as raw denim. However, raw denim is a bit more of an investment. It takes 2 weeks of constant wear for raw denim to feel "right", and you're supposed to buy undersized and let them stretch to your body. Once you do that, they're really nice. However, before that happens, it's like wearing a lower body straitjacket.
I don't find his scarcity counter argument compelling. All the things he offers as scarce aren't really scarce, as they could easily be recreated in a way such that the duplicates are indistinguishable from the original. Bitcoins can't, to current knowledge, be counterfeit.

He would have been better of saying that he could create his own fork of bitcoin with the same supply, but that wouldn't make it valuable.
This is synergy. The market thinks that WFM + AMZN together as one is worth more than the sum of their parts. I should hope so.

It used to be thought that it was a 'failed star', but you’d need at least 75-85 Jupiter masses to get fusion started it turns out so no, it wasn't close to being a star.

Experimentally, when they entangle photons, they just pick two random photons.

If two random photons used in an experiment weren't ever really separate entities to being with, even before the experiment ever started, then one should probably conclude that /all/ photons are not really separate entities.

Otherwise, every quantum experiment we've ever done has just /happened/ to pick two photons that were actually one entity, unlike most other photons.

It's not really a Markov chain, because Markov chains are random. It could be a degenerate Markov chain where probabilities are either 1 or 0, so that the same pattern repeats over and over.

The pattern can change, say, every 4 bars. Then you are manipulating the chain.

Perhaps, again I'm not a lawyer. However, one of the things brought up is that they didn't do something with a computer “which is used in or affecting interstate or foreign commerce or communication”.

I don't know about the additional "unauthorised access" but I'd be surprised if someone can't make a case from cracking a password to do something on a network you know shouldn't be possible unless you were the person who owned the address.

You can build a financial exchange on pen & paper, so you can probably do so on Ruby/Node/Mongo/Postgres/Redis.

Those might not be the best choices for a tech stack, though, but there's a difference between “can’t” and “shouldn’t”.
The author of the piece argues differently. Mainly that bitcoin doesn't need to be used for everyday things, but for things that might be censored.
I think "turn cash into bitcoin" is the easiest step.

- Bitcoin ATM: You insert cash and get bitcoin on your wallet. There are over 1000 ATMs in US alone. [1]

- Gift card: Again there are lot of communities for exchanging gift card for bitcoin. [3]

- Bank account/Debit/Credit card: You can buy bitcoin from sites like coinbase which are US-based and are actually FDIC insured. [4]

http://www.artnews.com/2013/02/21/chocolate-self-portraits-b...

Smelling the chocolate, and indeed the possibility of a transgressive viewer licking it, is definitely part of the piece. Brown paint wouldn't cut it.

On the subject of smelly rooms, I was able to experience the chocolate room by Anya Gallacio (http://beautifuldecay.com/2014/05/27/anya-gallaccio-creates-...), and let me say, a whole gallery room that smelled of chocolate was highly memorable. I did not lick the wall, but it was allowed. Delightful!

It depends on your goal.

If your goal is real understanding, the approach that I stated is the right one. If you've learned it the other way and wish to actually understand it, you'll still have to learn the approach that I stated.

Your goal is explicitly not real understanding. And most textbooks do it in the order that you did. (Partly because professors think that most students aren't going to try to understand, so there is no point in giving explanation.) So you probably made the right choice.

But I would still like to see even a passing mention that matrices of just a representation of a linear function given two bases, and matrix multiplication is function composition. That could set a lightbulb on for someone struggling through a problem.
