For 360º imaging in general, the higher the resolution the better. This is not only for VR applications, but also for use cases where the user is viewing only a portion of the image at one time. This includes filmmaking and broadcasting use cases, where a portion of the sphere is remapped to rectilinear (aka "normal") projection, and cropped to 4K or fullHD.

Also for applications in security and industrial, the higher the resolution, the better. So there is certainly a business case for 8K and higher.

The camera we are building utilizes four 4K sensors operating at 60FPS, with full raw capture in 10 bits. So the data throughput is the same as this Sharp camera. http://www.sphericam.com/sphericam-beast/ There is interest from the broadcast and filmmaking industries, as well as other industrial applications.

As far as this Sharp camera goes, I think the main business reason that this product exists is for the Tokyo Olympics, which will make a big push for 8K broadcasting, spurred by very considerable funding from many big players in Japan.

I do see your point, but I tried to make it clear that this is compilation in an extremely restricted sense: It specializes and executes a function at runtime. And I wanted to cover the core technique of doing just that.

Perhaps I should have included a small example of compiling a linear list of abstract instructions into machine code. But that again would consist of compiling small templates in a coherent way, just like many actual compilers do.

Anyway, point taken, and maybe I'll expand the article or follow up on it.

DUAL_EC_DRBG is, in principle, equivalent to encrypting the same data with two separate keys, each one being able to recover the plaintext. There are no "two separate levels at the same time" here: the weakest of these two keys determines your security level. With DUAL_EC_DRBG, one of these keys is a static key which, once leaked, can break every message with a small amount of extra effort.

The same applies to the recently published DUHK attack: once the hardcoded key is known, the whole thing gets broken, showing that the security level was only as strong as the weaker key.

After 2+ years of writing React most of the day every day with a lot of different patterns coming in and falling out of love in our app, our experience falls almost exactly in line with this. It's simpler than I would have imagined from when we first started using React/Redux and handles the most complex interfaces our app has.

My favorite part is how he models the different states the component can have. He describes the different states in a comment block but we found it even nicer to use Flow and disjoint unions to help the developer avoid impossible states which we learned from a talk by Jared Forsyth: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V1po0BT7kac.

The regular wages being too low high are a completely different topic. If you think they are too low then just get a different job.

If you think the wage is fair then you will appreciate the lower fatigue and reduced risk of injuries.

The risk is already priced in the insurance so by reducing risk you effectively increase the income spent on insurance.
If it makes it easier to reason about, it's equivalent to:

// The Promise resolves when the server starts responding
const response = await fetch(…);

// The Promise resolves when both the transfer and the JSON parsing ended
const body = await response.json();

So, yes, `response` is only used once and then discarded.

`fetch()` may fool you into thinking that it resolves when the request is complete, but it's always a 2-step operation (unless you start implementing a streaming interface, then it's more than 2 steps)

I think this mixes up what is true and what people (myself included) wish was true.

Governments don’t have power given to them. Their default state is God-Kings ruling on personal whims.

Governments have power taken from them, either by corporations, or by religions, or by other governments — sometimes these groups even call themselves “the people” — but the restrictions are not stable equilibriums, they are constantly fought against on all sides.

A VPN is the most secure and fool-proof way to unblock sites in Chrome with AES 256-bit Encryption and OpenVPN.

A VPN also masks your original IP and alters it with another fake IP which makes you able to unlock all the blocked and censored sites in Chrome and all other browsers.

> haven't talked to many potentially users?

Any bad answer to these questions is a showstopper, yes.
It's an indicator that this company is definitely going to fail.

In your example, not having talked to many customers is the classical Juicero approach: Build a solution, then search for a problem that this solution is solving.

Not talking to customers means not understanding if there is demand for something, and if there are customers who would like to pay for a solution. (Problems exist in markets where target groups are not used or not willing to pay for digital solutions)

If you're starting out, I highly recommend reading the blog of Amy Hoy and Alex Hillmann (https://stackingthebricks.com/) - they defend the idea to first go on a "sales safari" where you simply obvserve your target group, and then find a solution for their pains.

As a founder, you want to continuously talk to potenttial customers about your idea or your prototype: make them use it and perform thinking-aloud tests.
And that's where I have to disagree.

"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized." 4th Amendment, Bill of Rights, US Constitution

That's a balance, of between "Get off my lawn", and "I affirm I saw X illegal thing and I swear it in front of a judge, and the judge agreed."

Now, I don't trust some bureaucratic department to honor the constitution. And from the sounds of it, neither do you. Which is why I was keeping in mind of having an antagonist based key-holding scheme which would require a multitude of people to unlock before the data would be unsealed. To me, that does re-enable the balance set forth in the Constitution, namely the 4th Amendment to the Bill of Rights.

How do you value the welfare of the people in those corporations, their jobs and prosperity? You start by valuing having a job and having new businesses and services that put food on the table. These are easy things to take for granted in the developed world with our dynamic economies, extensive social services, free basic education and in many countries free health care. You cant tax people and companies to fund these things if those people don't have jobs, or have only subsistence level incomes or the businesses never get started or are starved of capital so they can't grow or adapt.

Countries that tried to do without economies like ours though, such as Soviet Russia, China under Mao, Venezuela and Cuba today, etc didn't do so well. So how do you confiscate the majority of the capital in society that is used to generate all this wealth without killing the goose that's laying the golden eggs? But if you do allow the accumulation of capital so that it can be deployed efficiently, how do you prevent free people in a democracy from using that capital for other things too?

How do you restrict individual freedom for people like Zuckerberg while meeting your social engineering goals?

Still waiting for even a perfunctory attempt to actually answer my questions with anything other than meaningless platitudes.

> That sounds like in the world of stocks, a competitor could come along and decide to split the stocks of MY company from the outside

That's not really a good analogy. Suppose someone decided to offer one of their securities (or pay a dividend, or give some 'thing') to everyone who has one of your company's shares. All investors have to do is show a share certificate, and get a one-off gift proportional to how many they own.

If the new thing has value, your company's shares should all go up in value by roughly its value. Then shares which have already had the thing claimed, should go down by the same amount, leaving them roughly where they were before. If you decide not to claim the thing, you lose out by its value, but your original shares are still the same and you shouldn't have made a loss on them, just as a result of this split.

Of course, if the new thing is something which competes with your company, your company's shares might go down in response. But this isn't directly related to the value of a share in the new thing.

What's the point of this nitpicking?

The title is perfectly fine for its purpose.

First, thanks to the terminology used by almost all commercial CAs, "SSL Certificates" is still the most commonly known term for that. Like it or not, but if you want to reach a wide audience, you need to say SSL in addition to TLS.

Second, even fewer people know the term X.509, insisting on that is like insisting on saying RFC-7540 instead of HTTP/2.

Third, in the very first sentence the article sets everything straight:

> We've been hard at work making Let's Encrypt TLS certificates as simple and safe as possible for developers and creators of all kinds

So ... is this an instance of commenting before actually having had just a tiny look at the article?
Agreed. We've normalized the abnormal. Furthermore, it's not PC to mention, even in passing, that someone is hurting themselves, and in a social sense others as well.

Long to short...we want healthcare as a right, but zero responsibility related to that right (i.e., personal health). This isn't working out well.
> As part of his plea, Bridges agreed to turn over the stolen bitcoin to U.S. agents.

He likely got less time for agreeing to turn over his private key. That might have been a bad decision depending on how many years he would have gotten otherwise. Those 1,600 bitcoin are worth over $10 million at the moment.

The 'problem' with this policy is that it cannot be used to direct people to the parts of Scotland where they 'need' people the most. In the Norwegian approach the government draws up a list of counties and says you have to move to one of the counties to get the benefits, and they can update that list as the situation changes.

Of course, reasonable people can certainly disagree on whether or not this is something the government should be involved in at all.
