You need to watch the email headers and look for the originating IP. Then you'll see if the presumed FROM address is what it says.

If it's an spoofed email, send an abuse report to the owner of that originating IP [+], including full headers and full body text.

[+] If the originating IP is from a country you know it won't give a shit, look for the next jump.
I really hope the ECC carries through. It irritates me to have to buy a "server" CPU if I want ECC on my desktop (which I do) and it isn't that many gates! Its not like folks are tight on transistors or anything. And on my 48GB desktop (currently using a Xeon CPU) I'll see anywhere from 1 to 4 corrected single bit errors a month.

For things like large CAD drawings which are essentially one giant data structure, flipping a bit in the middle of them somewhere silently can leave the file unable to be opened. So I certainly prefer not to have those bits flip.
I'm not sure I understand your argument. The fact that "this technology is nothing new" isn't precisely what proves that it can be potentially used to infect humans?
What's even better (for AMD) is that they can now design a single processor, and scale it across their entire lineup from R3(?) to EPYC. This suggests that they could incrementally improve their entire lineup annually, or deliver huge boosts every couple years.

If I'm right, this means you're selling to software companies, or companies doing in-house development?

Not really. We're not doing developer tools or anything like that. Well.. not like an IDE or anything. The products we're talking to this prospect about are an Enterprise Social Network product and a Document Management product.

That said, we do have a machine learning /cognitive services platform in development, so that's borderline a "developer tool", but we're not in the same space as like an Atlassian or anything.
I've been a Segment user, and advocate, from the beginning. It was highly recommended in the book Marketing for Developers.

One thing I'd like to see is a better free tier for developers starting new projects. Currently, you're limited to 1000 visitors per month.

Even indie projects can quickly run up monthly costs of $100+.

As a comparison, Mixpanel's free tier gives devs 20 million data points per month.

There's an old idea that solves the storage issue completely - utxo commitments.

Literally the only real throughput limit is end user's download bandwidth, which means 500MB blocks or so for 10Mbps download. Spv clients are fine for those unfortunate to have monthly limits.

Both storage and bandwidth are utterly insignificant cost items in a mining operation.

Fontgate: Anachronistic typography topples defense in Panama Papers case
I'm interested to hear more about why IG isn't a good platform for linking externally (whether a web browser or a native app).

If people are looking for inspiration on IG, isn't there some kind of follow-on action that they would like to take after browsing (eg. viewing a product in an e-commerce store)?

My hypothesis is that IG is somewhat analogous to reading a magazine. I pick the magazine I like to read (analogous to choosing who to follow on IG), and when I chance upon something nice, I may have a desire to buy it. It follows that the same decision-making process could happen on IG.

Does that sound logical? If not, where am I going wrong?
I just don't see the ISPs as the progressive force that will advance the Internet. They are entrenched, they have a captive customer base, and they have their profits to grow: Internet advancement will IMO be priority last. I don't see holding net neutrality hostage for the scenarios you mention. Consider your upgrade scenario: most companies, without robbing the consumers of net neutrality, already have instant upgrades to bandwidth.
So sad to see this. DBC is one of my largest clients and despite all the crap bootcamps take, I saw them first-hand transform lives and careers. End of an era. Incredible careers team, incredible instructors, incredible students, terribly sad and shocking development.

I'm actually on the market for a new kitchen range and I bought a CR subscription last night. I was disappointed. Almost none of the ranges have textual reviews, just a 5-star rating on about 6 different feature points. They each have a User Reviews section, most of which were unpopulated, and the remainder having one or two one-star reviews cursing it for falling apart in the first month. CR has a short blurb about reliability across entire brands, but the range was between 10% and 16% expected failure rate across the small subset of brands that were listed; most of the manufacturers were not even on the list. I'm left about as clueless as when I started.

Starting FreeBSD 10 (released in 2014) the default for everything including ports was to build with clang. There was a large effort leading up to that to get as many ports as possible building with clang. Many bugs in clang were fixed, and patches were submitted upstream to make others work.

At this time that effort is dead: the few ports that don't build with clang are accepted as doing something that will never work.

This, exactly. If you're comfortable enough with the property you're buying and know what to look for, the selling agent has a decent reputation (i.e. he has something to lose if he tries to cheat you), and have been through the process before, you can easily approach the selling agent without an agent of your own. An experienced agent will understand what's going on and know that this leaves another 3% to work with. I'll probably never use a buyer's agent again in my home market, though I would probably use one in an unfamiliar city.

Part of the reason is the same desire to see what is at the other side that pushed seafarers, voyagers and adventurers for ages to travel across hostile oceans, mountains and deserts.

That was such an interesting read. I live in the US, but am actually Brazilian, born, raised, and educated there (BS and MS). I did have some GREAT professors in college who you could tell loved their subjects so much, and would give amazing, passionate lectures, full of real-life examples, etc. Those shaped my career. But some others were just like the ones in the article.

Funny enough, all the good ones were much younger professors (like, in their 30's, 40's), with very few exceptions. Since the original article is from the 80's, maybe Feynman's feedback had some effect? I did go to one of the best universities in the country, so maybe my experience is also different from other people's. I hope it isn't, and I hope it continues to get better over there.

I live in Waltham and while I don't work in Boston (work from home) it only takes me 15-25 minutes (depending on where in the city) to get into Boston.

The Boston area has awesome suburbs that aren't really suburbs like Newton, Arlington, Waltham, Brighton, Melrose (where incidentally Martin Fowler lives) etc. I know everyone wants to live in the city cause its cool but these mini cities are pretty darn cool as well.

From most of these areas you can get into the city in 20 minutes by car. 40 minutes if there is bad traffic.

And of course there is public transportation.

Compare this to most of the metropolises in America: Atlanta, Dallas, Houston, etc that have massive traffic and suburbs that are truly suburbs (boring as can be).

I'm curious: have you had those experiences everywhere in Thailand, or only at the most famous tourist sites?

I've read this about Chinese tourists for years. But all the Mainlander tourists I've spotted in Taiwan and Hong Kong have been normally behaved, which has always been mildly disappointing. Until I finally visited some of the more touristy Thailand temples and saw the behavior you describe.

My theory is that the sort of Chinese tourist who fits this stereotype will almost exclusively follow a guided itinerary with a big tour group.
Not every loan is a federal loan. Additionally, federal loans almost NEVER cover the full amount of university, unless you're at a state school or community college.

A growing number of languages are ABI-compatible with C. A small but significant subset of those languages is ABI-compatible with C++. Quite a few languages (Perl 6, Julia, Tcl w/ critcl, pretty much everything that uses libffi AFAICT) are able to do this without having to write full-blown wrappers for a whole C/C++ library (though you still need to wrap specific functions in most cases).
Thanks Leo for the detail response. The problem with this analysis is that you're comparing a priced round to an uncapped note, but using totally different and arbitrary parameters (ie. 20% discount).

I agree 20% discount is not an accurate assessment of the risk and potential increase in value from seed to A, which is usually 3x. Also, the original purpose of a note is to solve the problem of inaccurately pricing an early stage company. If that's not a problem then there's no point in not pricing. But if there's great variation in the potential of a company, then it makes sense to use a variable pricing model, which a significant discount (30-60%) better accounts for. Add in a cap and a floor (something like $4m - $40m) to protect founder & investor in extreme situations like you described.

Obviously a fixed price is better for you, the investor. But is it better for the company? Is it the best way to model the uncertainty of valuation? You argue for not dissentivizing the investor. What about the founder who raises $1m seed at $5m valuation, then raises Series A at $30m? They mispriced their seed round, and the likelihood of the A investors finding a way to diminish the value of the seed investors greatly increases.

Just an alternative view of things from an outside.

Workers in the industry are significantly underpaid relative to the US. With no easy way to work in the US, I suspect fewer Canadians would choose to study computer science.

For example, from Google just now, the average software engineering salary in Vancouver BC is about $73k CAD (about $57k USD), and the average software engineering salary in Seattle is about $96k USD. That's about a 68% increase over the Canadian salary, and the cost of living is similar in both cities.

Incidentally, my company has had a number of Waterloo interns over the years and they have all been excellent. Many of them have moved back to the US after graduating.
+1 to justin's comments. It's true that an anecdote isn't a complete data set, but it is one data point. Further, it's one more data point than the pure speculation that dkarapetyan's comment provides.

Let me add a 2nd data point- as a 2013 DBC grad, I would still be in my previous career (completely unrelated to engineering) if I hadn't attended DBC. My instructors and classmates were instrumental in helping me get out of a job I hated and into one I love. It wasn't a perfect experience, but it was a life-changing one, and I'd do it again in a heartbeat.

You generalize about an entire industry without providing evidence, and then you use that generalization to denigrate a specific company within that industry which may or may not buck a trend. A trend which you haven't even proven exists, btw. Nice.

This seems most likely. Canada has a very strong connection with labour, which is especially visible when looking at the differing attitudes around unionization[1]. The social norms dictate that you go to school and then get a good job working for someone else. As a result, high achievers do not normally strive to be entrepreneurs. If there wasn't a bustling tech industry in the US for these people to go to, I expect they would end up aiming to work in established Canadian industries, not setting out to build a tech industry like the US has.

Distributions compile more than just a kernel. That's just one of several thousand packages we build. Usually the problem (even with something as simple as PIC/ASLR) is that old projects might have problems compiling.

What I find even more exciting is that they're finally deploying their predictive suspension technology in a production model.

What this system does is utilize the front cameras to scan and map the road surface ahead. It can then apply up to 20 kN of force via electric motors to raise or lower the wheels individually. This mitigates bumps from potholes or uneven roads, which, apart from being more comfortable, will also ensure the suspension lasts longer. This system also decreases body roll during turns, and squat / dive under accel / decel. All of it is powered by the 48V semi-hybrid electric system. Expect this to become much more commonplace with further electrification.

Mercedes has a similar technology called Magic Body Control, but it can only tighten or loosen the dampeners, rather than directly move the wheels. What the Audi system can do, which the Merc cannot, is to raise the side of the car during an impending t-bone collision, which allows the main body structure to take the impact instead of the doors.

This isn't correct. The major problem with Airbnb isn't that it competes with hotels, it's that full-time residents have to compete with Airbnb for housing.

Airbnb owners typically violate local laws preventing short-term rentals in residential properties. Short-term renters have a higher willingness-to-pay than long-term renters, and it currently makes more financial sense for me to rent a 2-br and Airbnb one room than to have a room mate or get a 1-br. There is now one less room in the housing stock of my city for long-term renters, thus driving up the cost of living for people who live in the city full-time.
