I hoped to see a nationload (MX, BR, something) of LEED living roof that included or adjoined estuary, I guess we know the jaguar (ocelot...) is less a hazard. It just has to be nicer to keep occupied canopy over most of the estuary (so birds don't run off with the cache in minutes) than it is to run ventilation or spend marginal time (¨) on cash crops.

Stolen Tethers were transferred to a known Bitfinex Exchange deposit address. The hackers bought Bitcoins within an hour and took off with their loot.

Reversing Tether tx does nothing to recover those Bitcoins.
But it doesn't matter. From a legal aspect, customers who accepted to sell their BFX tokens are no longer creditors to Bitfinex.
Ah, wasn't expecting a 500+ page pdf. All the words in the title trigger to think about presentations...

Actually I like the idea of full stories about the history of specific software. (Obviously haven't read this one just now, so can't say whether it's any good).

Does anyone know of other books (physical prints would be preferable to me) in this genre? Masters of Doom comes to mind, but it's a bit too much about the personal story maybe.

It is right, and so is your memory.

The number system that you generate by adding sqrt(5) to the integers is a ring because it satisfies the definition. And you can create an infinite variety of rings by adding new values to the integers.

"Number ring" has a specific meaning [0]. I am not sure if it is equivalent to the integers adjoined with some element though.

>In fact the usual integer numbers we use form a ring too.

Depending on definitions, the integers can be viewed as the ring of even numbers adjoined with the element 1. This does require that we do not define rings to necessarily contain 1. In my experience this definition is is becoming more of a historical footnote though.

There is also a natural generalization of adjoining multiple elements to the natural numbers (which still results in a ring) In this case, the natural numbers would just be a special case of adjoining 0 elements.

The ring of real numbers, in contrast, cannot be constructed by adjoining any finite set of elements to the integers.

The ring of integers mod n is also a ring, but does not contain the integers as a subring (and therefore cannot be thought of as the integers adjoined with any set (finite or infinite) of elements).

The polynomials with coeficients mod n form a non-finite ring which does not contain the integers.

I suspect the point that the author was attempting to make was just that Z[√5] formed a type of structure that mathematicians are familiar with.

What is "a -EV game"
A comment below says that Microsoft didn't write it (but Design Science). Maybe the C++ patch was rejected because the source code did not follow Microsoft coding rules mandating a complete rewrite of the code. To avoid a huge development cost, one rule has to be violated: either the binary patch or bad code. We can speculate many reasonable scenarios to explain what happened. I do not see any shame on Microsoft.
But this isn’t novel; anyone who’s read a few different newspapers in the same week (a “real reader”, in your words) can easily get a feel for differences in editorial ‘bias’/agenda between news organizations.

The problem is that being a “real reader” has a time and attention cost, and it’s relatively boring compared to picking a circle of political reality stars, and gorging on “hot takes” and outrage.
Guillotine – GraphQL Headless CMS for Enonic XP
I recommend anyone interested read the paper which is available as a preprint from Nature (for the moment): goo.gl/cSsHoj (link shortened due to having an embedded access token).

Some tantalizing points from the paper:

- They constrained the aspect ratio in two dimensions to be 10:1:C, but the third dimension is unconstrained. Depending on which axis the object is rotating around, C could either be 1, or 20. Either of these would be an essentially unique object within the solar system. This is a really weird shape.

- If the object is rotating around its short axis, it must have internal tensile strength (ie, it's a solid object, not just a pile of dust/gravel accreted by gravity). Lower bound on the required tensile strength is 3 Pascal (very little).

- There is essentially no dust/ice on the object - less than 1 kg within 2.5". So it's not a comet, and would have to be asteroidal. This conflicts with our current understanding of what objects would be in interstellar space. Current models have almost all objects ejected from our system being icy comets. This object would be analogous to a Manx comet, ie a rocky asteroid in a highly elliptical long period orbit.

- The shape of the observed light curve deviates from the best-fit triaxial ellipsoid in a way that suggests large flat or concave sections. It would take unrealistically large albedo variations to produce the same deviation without flat/concave sections.

And of course, of all the planets in the solar system, it made its closest approach to Earth, an astronomical "near miss" at just 0.16 AU :)

Less biased, or merely less obviously biased? Given that the argument against RT is essentially that they are too dangerous to include in search results because of their known and obvious bias, it would be interesting to look for distortions in their coverage. Did you spot any substantial differences in the two versions of the story? Or is the danger possibly that they will lull us in with factual reporting only to betray us once we let our guard down?

http://www.nytimes.com/1994/06/11/obituaries/mary-gates-64-h...

She had been a regent at the University of Washington since 1975, the same year she became the first woman to serve as a director of First Interstate Bank and the first to serve as the president of the King County's United Way. She was later appointed to the board of the United Way of America; in 1983, she became the first woman to lead it. Right Time, Right Place

Her tenure on the national board's executive committee is believed to have helped Microsoft, based in Seattle, at a crucial time. In 1980, she discussed with John R. Opel, a fellow committee member who was the chairman of the International Business Machines Corporation, the business that I.B.M. was doing with Microsoft.

Mr. Opel, by some accounts, mentioned Mrs. Gates to other I.B.M. executives. A few weeks later, I.B.M. took a chance by hiring Microsoft, then a small software firm, to develop an operating system for its first personal computer.

And this...

http://prospectingprofessor.blogs.com/prospecting_professor/...

Why did IBM even go to Redmond, WA in the first place?

At the time, IBM president John Opel served on United Way's national board...as did Mrs. Gates. In 1980, when someone mentioned Microsoft to John Opel, he responded, "Oh, that's run by Bill Gates, Mary Gates' son." Behind the scenes, Mary Gates had spoken with John Opel about the new breed of small companies in the computer industry, which she felt were under-appreciated competitors of the larger firms with which IBM traditionally partnered.

As a quick note for folks who don't follow embedded SoCs: the NXP i.MX8 [1] is quite high-powered in this niche. It sports eight ARM cores in total: 4X Cortex-A53, 2X Cortex-A72, 2X Cortex-M4F.

As someone who has spent ~four years working on software for a single M4F, that reads like "it's a datacenter on a chip", more or less. It's ... big.

It also has dual-gigabit Ethernet, USB 3.0, USB 2.0, and enough other low/medium-speed serial interfaces to make you go dizzy. :)

It's interesting to see people take sides here. We freely rely on Google to sift through people trying to manipulate search rankings and show us the best results. Part of this process often results in entire domains being blacklisted. Hell, we we even allow copyright law to dictate what we can find on Google.

So I don't understand why it's so controversial to exclude insidious propaganda and proven bad journalism from news searches.

Some others have called this a slippery slope, saying Fox (or the left wing equivalents) could be next... But seriously, why not? The threat to excluding bad outlets should be extended to all outlets.

In theory it should, and substantially, since DNA replication is a highly energy dependent process. In practice we can’t just nilly-willy remove genetic material from our chromosomes, even if it ostensibly has no useful function. That said, scientists have attempted long-range deletions in mouse and some of those show no phenotype (within the highly limited study!). But as far as I know they didn’t look at energy expenditure.

Are you referring to Microsoft's MOV EDI, EDI at the beginning of every function? That's a hot-patch point.[1]. I think that was more for in-memory patching to get around the problem that if you replace the current code, you might run afoul of some thread actually executing it. That wouldn't necessarily apply to the binary/DLL, which when loaded from scratch wouldn't need any such hot-patching.

More than likely it was a project that only builds in a long-discontinued non-conforming C/C++ compiler that only runs on Windows 95. When I was working at MS very recently I was surprised to learn that all software affected by the Sun lawsuit, way back in 2001, was still strictly verboten, even internally. All builds of Windows 95 through XP SP1 were absent from the internal builds and products shares just as they are from MSDN. I don't believe Microsoft would have somehow lost this source code as the article speculates - more likely they reasoned that the effort needed to get a build environment set-up and working would take more time than finding someone on the team who really knows x86 assembly well enough to manually fix the bug - and there are plenty of people like that on campus.
