Not really! After I realized I had lost my wallet, I just went out and bought more bitcoins. So I predict most of these people that lost that wallet in 2011 don't have a zero balance today.
> I can give you a 15 minute demo at your convenience.

I don't have 15 minutes to give, especially for a lame demo. (not to come off harsh, I'm sure it's brilliantly done)

First question-- is this relevant to me? What problems do you solve?

I'd have to register my vote on this not clearing things up. All it did was talk about relatively simple sections of code with well understood boundaries.

Instead, I often find people that try to make "units" of code not "Money" or "Transaction" but crap like "WellsFargoTransaction" or "EuroToUSDollarTransaction" complete with separate classes for each of the things that those imply.

And the amusing dig against mutable state is... well, unnecessary? It didn't even really do anything other than signal to a certain crowd that he is on their side.

Integration tests may be a symptom of poor design. I don't see it, though. Integration tests should exist to test the assumptions that your unit tests rely on. Because, by necessity, your unit tests will be making assumptions about the rest of the systems they interact with. To claim that some "pure" design can get you away from needing to test those assumptions is interesting debate starting rhetoric, but a dangerous goal to put in people's minds.
In general I've been pretty happy with gopass. However as there is very sensitive data stored in the stores, some problems I've already run into:
* A situation with gopass where it ignored a sub folder's .gpg-id, and as a result it rekeyed all passwords with incorrect recipients. Combined with "autosync", this was a big "oops" moment.
* The `recipient` command doesn't work with sub-folders, but doesn't throw an error when a sub-folder is used and will update the root folder. Again, a big "oops" moment.
I'm mostly happy with bitcoins except for what I mentioned: transaction fees and waiting times. If those things can really be brought down by the lightning network, that's all I care about.

Financial stability seems like a secondary concern that cannot be solved via computer code but might instead require other kinds of human codification, perhaps legal.
> This happens very rarely

Not true. Orphaned blocks happen all the time. https://blockchain.info/orphaned-blocks

> You are only uncertain in bitcoin when there are two equal (hash wise) blocks.

Not true. Its possible to see the longest chain and not know about another chain that is of equal length. Nodes won't propagate chains that are of equal length to their current chain, so this is actually probably a somewhat common scenario. There has also been a number of orphaned blocks of length 2, 3, and 4. That means its totally possible (not likely, but not outside the realm of possibilities) for a node to be working on a chain and have never seen the correct previous block. https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/3343/what-is-the...

This is all exactly why many nodes don't accept transactions until there are 6 confirmations -- statistically, we shouldn't ever get to an orphan chain of length 6 even though its technically possible (outside of bugs).

FWIW, I'm not arguing that IOTA is any more or less secure than Bitcoin.

There is also a very fine difference in the exact wording. You might even have the choice to decide the location where the physical copy of the code is located (E.g. your office, not theirs / on the north pole) and they actually might never actually bother to show up. Does the source code even need to be humanly readable or are the actually more happy with a schematic diagram?

Things you can’t do in Rust: top-level curry
Most people will. What most people are getting mad about is that a lot of the personal deductions will expire in the future, and that the ultra-wealthy are getting a tax discount as well as the average person.
Why would that be absurd? "Bitcoin" is an arbitrary unit, you can rescale it. For example, 1 satoshi = a hundred millionth BTC. In your example, the rate would be 1 kilosatoshi = $1.70. A nice and imaginable rate if it was a regular currency.

The thing is: you can either call current (and possibly future) bitcoin absurdly overvalued (with its real value close to zero), or the early-stage bitcoin absurdly undervalued (with its real value close to the "asymptotic" value). I personally prefer the latter, or better: acknowledge that the "value" is determined by the market, and the "real" value is dynamic in time.

The only question is: is the current exchange rate rational, or a craze? I believe, assuming nothing catastrophic happens (bitcoin outlawed, or it is abandoned because the network cannot handle the number of transactions anymore), the current rate is rational (close to the instantaneous "real" value), and will continue to rise (and approach the asymptotic "real" value) in future.

Full disclosure: I am not 100% convinced (and thus stupidly sold quite some BTC before the current hike), but I'm betting some coffee money that BTC - if it is staying with us - will go "to the moon".
$12 million worth of electricity every 10 minutes is indeed mind boggling. I don't expect that BTC will be valued at $1 million anytime soon, but if that would happen, and a large percentage of the world population would use Bitcoin, it would have captured a large percentage of global capital and market activity. So for this scenario, judging the future price of electricity in USD doesn't tell you much about the actual value of that electricity.

But there are many other uses of energy that various subsets of people don't agree with, yet, as long as that electricity is paid for, the system keeps chugging along. What we have to fix is that tragedy of the commons, where we dump carbon dioxide in the atmosphere at no cost.
I can verify this is possible.
Great calculator! Just what i was looking for. I like the simple UI.

But, you should add the state tax as well as the FICO and social security tax/ medicare tax, to show a more complete picture.
Apple better get their act together. Their image that Steve Jobs fought so hard to create has been slipping since he passed. One problem is that the other options aren't great (depending on what you're looking at). In terms of operating systems, if Windows 10 becomes the better option, that's pretty bad. Because Windows 10 is bad.

"authenticity in food" is a massive myth. The foods you eat have been genetically modified for centuries via breeding techniques.

"monocultures" and "industrial scale farming" are separate from GMO, and will exist without GMO, as they existed before GMO.

>You gain the ability to peacefully endure, even study, the pain because you're smarter than it?

Kind of, yeah. It's something I've experimented with. The longer I focus on something painful the less it bothers me. It just sort of feels hot. But once I start to do something else with my body that agitates it, it provokes the strong response that takes my attention away immediately. I'm not that quick to take it back, or turn it down, yet. It's the revoking of ALL my attention while I'm trying to do something else makes me feel angry, like anyone being nagged with useless information at relentless volume and frequency. Nothing you can do except give it less of your attention and remember that getting angry is the exact opposite thing. It does take a lot of practice, I think.

>And this ability comes as a result of meditation?

Definitely. Meditation is the practice of training your attention, among other things.

>Can the same thing be achieved by telling someone to "suck it up" if they stub their toe?

It depends. If you said that to a stranger, they'd tell you to go to hell (more or less). If you said it to someone to whom you were the whole world, you'd create a louder pain that would drown it out. But they'd still be suffering.
Why is testing so confusing?

All automated tests (unit, integration, functional ui) are regression tests. They are not there to find problems when you write code; they are there to surface problems when you change code.

The distinction between the types of test help you find at what level the problem lies.

One of the best skills of the troubleshooter is to break down interactions into layers, and then troubleshoot each layer.

Organizing tests in a similar fashion aids in troubleshooting.
If you aren't sending real orders through your systems.. you are waiting for your customers to find and report all problems. Right?

This is actually a strength of a QA team. They can build test plans and execute them on a different technology than your Dev team built the system with and on. This is also why acceptance testing is so important. You want to get as close to possible as capturing "in the wild" users using your system as you can.

To add to your point, one way to view this is that it reflects the immense difficulty of deeply understanding and discerning the difference between 90%, 99%, 99.9%, 99.99%, and so on.

These inherent difficulties make it very easy to spread confusion and mislead the layman.
Hi,

Would be good to know if its SaaS or something that goes into their datacenters.

If you are SaaS, I would not share source code. Ever. I often get questions from potential enterprise customers, and while pushing back is not always easy, the reasons are respected. One argument is that you are protecting other customers/tenants by not allowing it, and you will do the same for them when they are onboarded.

If its in their datacenters, there are many reason they might want to see source code (licensing, security, scalability etc). But i would still argue you could keep your core algoritm IP out of that.

Other thoughts: Are they vetting you for potential acquisition?
That's a great tweet. Another one of my favorites illustrating the same point:

https://twitter.com/thepracticaldev/status/68767208615275315...
You exchange it for whatever currency you desire to make smaller transactions with. Even with slow scaling, it should remain suitable for large transactions.

As a store of value, it has many desirable properties. There is a fixed supply, it can be used anywhere with internet access, it is secure, and it is very inexpensive to hold. Gold, for instance, has a large potential supply, is very difficult to move and secure (e.g. vaults, armed guards), and typically requires you to trust a 3rd party (most hold gold IOUs, not the physical bars).

If you accept that there is a demand for such a store of value, then you must recognize the value of cryptocurrencies. There is also a great deal of potential value as technological solutions to the scaling problem are found, as well as new uses for Nakamoto-style networks.
It seems as though Bitcoin is the least secure of all the 'stores of value'. I can find few examples, outside of military operations, with more than $10M in gold lost to a heist, yet it happens multiple times a year with Bitcoin. And it's not like someone is logging into your Fidelity account and taking all those APPL shares.
maybe it works on ie 11, not working on chrome.
I agree that you need "both halves" in this scenario to sign the transaction.

At some point during the spend from the wallet, the privkey that matches the wallet pubkey has to touch memory. This privkey can in theory be compromised in a number of ways with malware on the spending system (keylogger, screen caps, process memdump, etc).

I think the safest way to go about this is to generate an entirely new keypair/wallet on an isolated system. Spend from your wallet then transfer the balance to the newly created wallet. This minimizes losses as a result of privkey compromise (unless of course your isolated system isn't so secure)
Thanks. Removing these hooks would have been a lot more complicated 6 years ago: I'm pretty sure the new WebIDL DOM bindings got rid of many of them over the years. I also replaced some of the Class hooks with proxies, did proxies even exist back then? :)
No you've bought .001 as you state yourself. The component parts of a bitcoin can be allocated. (I think the minimal is 1 "satoshi")

It's a bit like buying one pen out of a very large pack of pens. You don't own the pack if you only buy one.

Preventing selling debt wouldn't prevent outsourcing of collections, I can pay someone to collect debt without selling them the debt.

For many reasons, always choose your office as the location. Even if they're paying expenses, it makes your employees available for other things that may come up at your site. All the security benefits are obvious, but lastly... from a sales standpoint, it allows you to treat them like a welcomed guest and win them over on your turf.

Either way, get the review done fast. As they say, time kills all deals.
Usually, when doing due diligence, anything that might conceivably be a lawsuit or ongoing lawsuits results in a lower price or funds in escrow or similar agreements.

So, even if there never was a big payoff, the mere potential is a big red flag for the due diligence team (and leverage for negotiations as well). They can add indemnification clauses on contracts (they won't do that for a small company like the OP I guess).
I will be itemizing this year, it would be nice if I could add some of those writroffs in with this calculator. In my case, it's the difference between my taxes going down or up
The more I think about MoviePass the less I like the model. In http://www.businessinsider.com/moviepass-business-model-2017... they say they're trying to offset high ticket prices in some places with lower ticket prices in other places. What kind of business model tries to shift money from places that have less to places that have more?

Edit: had the last part backwards, d'oh
If I were you and I decided that this is worth it, I would try to arrange the deal so that it only occurs after all of their other due diligence has been completed, and the source code audit is the last remaining obstacle to doing the deal. And I would insist that they first define, at least roughly, what it is acceptable and unacceptable. So, after the audit is completed, unless they can point to something in the code that is unacceptable, then they are compelled to go through with the deal.

You want to avoid a situation where you accommodate them on this, and they come up with some other hoop you have to jump through. Or where they give you some vague excuse like, "thanks, but we decided to go in a different direction" and walk away.
Honestly, sometimes I'm fine with a single line passed to -m for the command. I don't have a hard rule that all commits must have an email attached to them.

However, unless the single line is "fix typo" or some such, often I'm very interested in why code has been sent up for review. And don't just tell me what you did, but why you did it. If I get one more "increased the retry policy" style messages that doesn't expand on why a downstream component needs us to retry more, I'm going to go insane.

A sister team of mine has gone so far as to templatize this. I'm very sympathetic to the idea, but I don't support it yet. I think I'm coming around, though.
Skip the entire cold email and figure out a way to get the people you think should care about your thing, to care.

Generally “content marketing” is the term for that, but a better way to think about it is: think of the problems faced by the people who might use your thing. What do they think about? What other tools do they use?

Now, go write useful blog posts about that stuff. If you publish interesting things, people will actually want to hear from you. You’ll earn their trust and won’t need to beg or spam for it.

If you're more technically inclined you can get started for much less.

You can get an ESP8266 individually for $5, and its only a few more dollars for a relay or a couple of MOSFETS depending on what you want to control. You can use the Homie for ESP8266 framework to take care of the boilerplate, and build functional device that communicates over MQTT in less than an hour.

Most open source home automation software supports MQTT and you can use habridge to emulate Phillips Hue devices if you want to integrate it with an Echo or other commercial device.
It may not make sense for the model you choose, but realistically speaking if you want a real comparison of machine learning platforms you need to do so on GPUs. The major competitive advantage that AWS has over GCE is the Volta GPUs, which are significantly faster than what any other provider is offering.
> I thought maybe I am missing something, but I see that the objects are encoded with bit and transmits.

I think you're confusing three or four different projects at this point, whose only common property is that they operate on the energy of an incoming 2.4GHz signal (the "backscatter" thing).

The project that is the topic of discussion in this whole HN thread is the one that uses a 3D-printed plastic mechanism that changes the way an antenna (incidentally, 3D-printed too, out of a filament that mixes copper and plastic) reflects an incoming signal. There is a binary pattern, but it's encoded in the cog-like thing in the mechanism.

It's pretty much like sending light signals with a mirror, except it's reflecting radio waves. The way they use technical terms in this article (and the original paper) is problematic, and I believe your confusion in this subthread is a perfect example of why the abuse of "Wi-Fi" references is a problem.
> I found the legal community's focus on this area out of step with their otherwise well-measured calculations of risk and reward.

That seems true with pretty much any legal area. But, it's not their job to calculate risk, it's their job to tell you what is legal. It's management's job to decide if they want to take the risk or take the legal advice.
> It is "obvious" in the real numbers that if you multiply two numbers and get 0 then one of them must be zero. I doubt you could prove this.

Theorem: If x & y are reals and xy=0, then at least one of x and y is zero.

To see this, assume x and y are both nonzero. Divide both sides of xy=0 by x (this is valid because x is nonzero). Then y=0; contradiction. Therefore, at least one of x and y is zero.

How Kubernetes Initializers work
There are more likely reasons they might have cut you off other than "brain rape", specifically
1) They didn't like your code or your forecasting strategy.
2) They didn't like you, didn't trust that you could get it done.
3) They chose a competitors product.
4) They canceled the project.

I work for a 50,000+ person company. I do software evals all the time, not source code but still. When their sales people call me, I ignore them. I'm very busy, if I want to buy I'll call you.

My group (200+ devs) starts and cancels new projects all the time. No one has time to call every losing vendor and tell them they didn't make the cut, or that we decided not to continue the project.
