Ethereum is exchangable for USD (or EUR, which is the currency in Lithuania). Calling it imaginary money isn't helpful here. I'm sure they have cashed out at least some of that.

As for why they would take investors' money (not really investors according to the SEC) and actually build their product? Maybe they value keeping their promises, or their dream is to build this product and the $14mm is just a means to that end.

Efficient programming is all about knowing how to use CPU features and memory to your advantage. If you don't already know C, I suggest "Learn C the Hard Way"[0]. After that, here's two great places to start: "What Every Programmer Should Know About Memory"[1] and "What's new in CPUs since the 80s and how does it affect programmers?"[2]

I have a quick question on this. The blog post mentions that you guys went with CONV-BATCHNORM-ACTIVATION (still unsure on whether this is the better order), but in the model code that is posted the batchnorm and activations are the other way around. Which ordering did you end up using?
I used the term "authorization number", but that was misleading. The real name is issuer scripts. It is used by card issuers to update the card parameters (chips have memory). According to EFT lab, these are 16 functions which include:

Card Block, PIN Change or Unblock, Update other data

I haven't read the full Quick Chip spec, but here is my guess (take it with a grain of salt):

If card issuers are not able to update the card, then they won't be able to block the card. If the card is misused (e.g. stolen), there is a very small chance of retailers accepting fraudulent payments, but at least the following conditions should be met:
1. The POS solution should be offline from the authorization host,
2. The card should allow offline authorization and it has a "max offline amount" configured,
3. The sales amount does not exceed the configured offline amount in the card.

At the end of the day, RISC-V will only succeed if I can buy a board where I can attach some SATA drive, a monitor and keyboard/mouse the same way people buy some ITX board.

This might be tough to hear for people discussing the ins and outs of RISC-V and why is so much better than x86 or ARM and the big name sponsors don't make it any better with the usual tight hugs and lullabies. But you need to put it in the hands of the people just like "the PC", otherwise it will be a pet project waiting to be forgotten by everybody other than the nostalgic ones.

I don't want pin. I have half a dozen credit/debit cards in my pocket (the card I use for almost everything, my backup card just in case the first is lost, my HSA card, my company card, a debit card, and the store care for a store I shop at often) there are another half a dozen that the issuers want me to carry but are not worth the space they take up. I cannot mentally manage that many different pins.

verification comes in 3 parts: something you carry (card), something you know (card number, pin), something you are (your signature, fingerprint). Generally you need two. However since the card number is memorable (hard but possible) the pin is no additional security.

Almost every collector I've met usually collects with the market. Not all of them hoard as much as you'd traditionally think. They're always buying/selling trying to get that Holy Grail First Run Sunburst Les Paul. There's plenty of room in the market for everyone willing to put some skin in the game.

Plus, I think the mention of all the boutique brands at NAMM helps with this. We all can't afford a magnificent '55 strat, but with far fewer dollars d'Pergo (or some other amazing strat perfectionist) can make something equally as stunning.

And, with enough time these instruments will hit the market again. When enough of them do; we'll make them affordable again; once everyone is play 7+ strings and doesn't want anything to do with 50's guitar technology.

I bet we'll see that with amplifiers, first.

Nintendo is clearly motivated by something other than profit. They release the NES Classic Mini, a license to print money if there ever was one, and it's impossible to buy one without hammering Walmart's private APIs with a script. Then, after a little over one season, they cancel the product entirely.

Perhaps Nintendo feeds on nostalgia brainwaves or something.
If you mean modeling the state graph itself, it's usually not modeled in the db but only in the code. It could indeed be interesting to store the graph itself if it evolves often, or at least a version number.

If you were speaking about storing the instances lifecycles, a simple model using a RDBS is to store one row per transition event in a separate table. This is what the papertrail[1] gem does for example.

Thanks for the kind words! To prevent impostor syndrome, I should clarify that I worked on the app for many, many months — basically since August of last year — as a nights/weekends thing. It’s true that the final version was built almost from scratch in a few weeks, but it wouldn’t have been possible without the time investment in the preceding months. Although for the most part I just wasted a lot of time because I had no idea what I was doing lol (still don’t)
According to the license they don't have to provide the source code to anyone except those that got the compiled product.

If you take an open source product, modify it and only use it in-house you don't have to provide source code to anyone.
That's a different issue altogether. The information is there, it's freely and publicly available (by definition - if it weren't, it wouldn't show in search engines' results) - it's just in the wrong format.

I'm increasingly more convinced that the best way to save open, distributed web would be to kill off Internet commerce. Think of it this way: when I'm searching for information, I'm like a fish searching for food. There are places where it naturally occurs, but more and more food is placed by businesses, who attach them to hooks in order to bait me into spending time and money on stuff I don't want. Great for the fishermen, but in this story I'm a fish.

(Sure it's a pipe dream, but it serves to highlight the conflict of interest. As an Internet user, I seek information - not deals, contracts, and all the other strings people try and attach to that information.)

All of those are examples of the same fundamental, where children can become monofocused on one domain and suffer long term for lack of broad exposure to experiences.

They are also easy traps - from the 18th century to the 21st century, if your kid is wrapped up in books or a phone you don't have to worry about who they are interacting with, what they are doing outside, if they are in danger or putting others in danger - they stay home and are low maintenance.

Problem is, low maintenance doesn't produce robust human beings.

Many SaaS websites seem to try as hard as possible to hide the actual product from you, with no screenshots, no live demo, and sometimes even no free trial, and a "demo" page that only has a form to request a demo. And according to this article, even in that demo, you're not supposed to see much of the application.

Now, I trust that this is sound advice for many (enterprise) customers, but personally I hate it.

It's been 18 years since I was involved in that industry, but I remember it being more a decision to use 1200, 2400, or 9600 baud with most processors. I don't remember any that even offered the option to connect at 56k.

I think there were a few processors with protocols that were chatty enough that the time spent negotiating 56k might have been worthwhile. I remember the Gensar and FDMS protocols mostly being sane but there were a couple others that were "hey look at this BBS software I adapted to be a credit card processor for some reason."
Signature isn't something you are, it's not in any of those three categories, it's closer to your address.

Chip + pin = Something you carry (card/chip) + something you know (pin). You need the physical card to use it, card number isn't sufficient.

Sure, but--so? grsecurity has the copyright on what they've created. They don't need the Linux Foundation to enforce violations and there's no cause to force the Linux Foundation to do so if they don't feel it's best for Linux; copyright is optionally enforced in most jurisdictions (unlike trademark in the USA). On top of that, you're miffed that the Linux Foundation didn't "ask grsecurity or PaX if they want to get paid for helping", which is orthogonal to everything?

Your posts don't make sense to me, and I've been observing this whole mess for a very long time. What you're saying reads as if the Linux Foundation should be the heavies for a private company that has never-not-once played by the same rules as the cooperative development community they work outside of.

> The information is there, it's freely and publicly available (by definition - if it weren't, it wouldn't show in search engines' results) - it's just in the wrong format.

No, there is such a thing as copyright. That Google ignores it doesn't make it any more right than when Hollywood balks at piracy because piracy tends to make bits available in 'the right format'. That knife cuts both ways.

> I'm increasingly more convinced that the best way to save open, distributed web would be to kill off Internet commerce.

Well, that won't happen.

Google is one of the fishermen, in fact, they are running the largest trawler on the planet.
The US had mag stripes in widespread use first. We are looking at 20 or 30 years ago: most of the rest of the world caught up long ago, but they caught up after the problems with mag stripes were known and so the rest of the world built infrastructure to attempt to fix the now known problems.

Note too that the US has a legal limit of $50 if your card is stolen. As such to the consumer there is no incentive to care about security. Other countries don't have that protection and so consumers rightly refused to take a change until things were more secure. All that security comes at a cost, one consumers cannot afford to gamble on, but to a larger business can call cost of doing business and weigh against the cost of upgrading security.

As long as everything's encrypted on the client-side (and the client's source code is available for public audit), I don't see any immediate concerns besides the obvious one of "what happens if Torus goes under?".

It looks like there are plans to open-source the server, though, so that problem can be solved if you want to host your own Torus deployment (which I'd likely do for any serious non-personal usage).

>For Linux, the operating system that Torvalds created

Stopped reading right there. First of all, Linux is not an operating unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS. Because of that, the Operating System is not Linux, but rather GNU/Linux (or GNU + Linux which I recently have been calling it).

It's genuinely horrifying how much you seem to enjoy the thought of imprisoning or humiliating those who disagree with you. I suspect that this is a result of cognitive dissonance: you realise that you cannot rebut their arguments rationally, and thus wish to 'rebut' them physically, by appeals to the majority.

Yes, the serial port could be added to the 32 as well, the rest was just software (some minor patches to the ROM). Not all Dragon 32's shipped with the 64K chips, and opening one up in the store wasn't an option so a little software test was useful.

We figured all this out long before the Dragon 64 was released, and a friend of mine figured out how to move the basic interpreter to RAM and relocate it. Good times.

With AMP, I get a different search ranking if I use Google’s AMP version, or if I self-host the AMP scripts (to prevent users being tracked by Google).

I have to allow every user of my site to be tracked by Google if I want to get the AMP ranking advantage.

I can’t fork AMP.

The ranking advantage is given only if you use Google’s AMP cache.

People keep saying that (shortly after becoming parents), and yet the kids keep turning out alright.

I grew up like that and boy did it ruin my life! Living on a farm 10 miles from the nearest road, playing concerts, traveling, and working remotely to finance it all. It's a shame I was so wrapped up in my books and computers and video games as a kid because I could have led a normal life in a cubicle like everyone else.
The whole "80 hours a week" bit definitely seems to elide the difference between "working two full time jobs" and "being involved with the topic when you're off the clock".

I think it's true that most passionate people will engage with their field more than 40 hours per week, simply because it's a passion. But hell - some weeks that could mean reading a good novel on the topic, with no direct value to your work. I keep up to date on a bunch of aspects of computing and mathematics because they interest me, but that feels completely different from working long hours and 'training' constantly.

Turning "be interested in your work" into "put in 80 hours, train like you're in boot camp" seems like a silly way to act tough (and exclude people with families or hobbies from a field). Your point, actually caring about your field, seems much better.
