People find game-over vulnerabilities and report them to bug bounties all the time. To a first approximation, 100% of serverside RCE vulnerabilities reported through HackerOne create comparable condictions. But the reporters don't have their machines forensically imaged or violate breach disclosure laws when they report on H1.

This doesn't add up.

Why should they give them away?

Spending half a billion dollars to get 2.5 million customers is - probably - incredibly stupid.

For half a billion dollars, how many customers/users do you think Facebook can get in almost any other manner?!

The incremental cost of customer acquisition for them is, effectively, $0. They aready have the infrastructure. They already have the network effects. They already have lots of other things.

Why should they spend half a billion dollars giving away VR headsets? Because you don't want to pony-up $200?

They advocate against lawns, and you can't park on typical "native" gardens (typically a lot of dirt, and some scrub brush), thus you are left with paving as the parking friendly eco-acceptable option. Or astroturf, but not sure how much better that drains than concrete.
That doesn't make sense. Serverside RCEs get disclosed all the time. If you take the median large SFBA tech company and stipulate serverside RCE, you're almost 100% of the time going to be an hour or two away from breach-disclosure-law event. But that never happens. What was different in this case?

The board are responsible to shareholders; most shareholders are simply too small to have any effect though. I wonder if diluting the shares is in any way a reasonable or feasible solution. You could put the newly created shares in Trust for the country’s pension system or something.
Yeah, of course. It's what I do mostly these days. As mentioned in other threads, some people still work at much lower abstraction level, and even hand optimise stuff that is really critical and can't be left to a stupid compiler.

But isn't the trend with larger (/ "more useful") abstractions spreading even outside the sphere of web stuff? I'm thinking about stuff like game engines, ML frameworks or all the standard libraries for mobile plattforms.

I would really like to know how the life of a network card firmware developer is like, or writing drivers for graphics cards, or software in highly reliable systems like cars or something. I guess their work is quite different from mine.
Yeah, I imagine the formal logic being quite strict, maybe requiring formal verification. It wont stop business-leaky-cases, but it might give us something deterministic that is better than what we have - we dont need perfection, an order of magnitude (or 5) jump in productivity would do...
Hasn't Mint been doing this for ages?
This already happens. Compilers and interpreters hide most of the details.

Unless you're writing embedded code you usually don't have a say in a lot of what's going on. Things like memory allocation, scheduling, interrupts, addressing.

Things like kubernetes takes this even further.
I did a project or two in React, then worked with Angular 2+ for our in-house project.

I like React because it's easier to set up and get working; you don't need some ridiculous dev environment just to say "Hello world". I think React does one thing and does it really well, and its flexibility makes it easier to mix and match packages to do what you need to do.

Angular is ridiculously opinionated, and very complete. But for big projects or for multiple projects with different people coming in and out of the project this can be a strong asset. We've had some big React projects where you have to go out and get Redux, then start thinking about observables, maybe you want TypeScript but maybe you want Flow, etc. Angular already thought about all of that, made decisions for you, and structured it in a standard way so that once you learn the conventions it's pretty easy to reason about any Angular project.

And as a front-end dev who got started on the Web in the Netscape days, I appreciate that Angular doesn't treat CSS as a bug to be fixed. React (and the kinds of people who work on React) seem to desire a pure JavaScript world, while Angular keeps a more familiar HTML/CSS convention on the template level.

GIVEN a function that returns one or zero, which is fully unit tested.

GIVEN a function that divides one number by another, which is fully unit tested.

WHEN I integrate both functions together.

THEN I should get back a number.

This is why you need integration tests. Interaction of fully tested units does not guarantee that they can be integrated together in arbitrary ways without the possibility of bugs being introduced from the integration.

The above example integ test would reveal a DivideByZero error. This is a super simplistic integration of two simple functions, now imagine a massive enterprise system and how many bugs could be due to the integration of its parts alone, even if individually each part is one hundred percent correct and bug free.

There are a few ways I can think of.

The first address they send the hacked coins to (a1) will most likely be black listed by some exchanges. However, the hackers could create thousands of new addresses and transfer the coins from a1 to the new addresses. Then do that again. All exchanges would have to monitor all addresses that a1 ever sent coins to. They could do this, but I'm not sure how many exchanges would actually do this. All it takes is one exchange to accept the hacked coins then the hacker can sell the BTC for something like ETH.

Another option would be OTC trades, but that would take a really long time to sell 4000 BTC.
Turns out, machines already do write most or really all of the “code” and we use higher level more human-like languages to tell magic programs what code to generate. Those magic programs are called compilers and interpreters, and they already do a lot to protect humans from the extreme heterogeneity of hardware.

I'm not really sure what it means for someone to have millions of dollars of value in Bitcoin. In practice how much of that money might someone be able to convert to cash and over how long of a time period?

I'm also not really sure what the catalyst of a Bitcoin crash would be, wouldn't it require for the vast majority of people to decide Bitcoin is no longer worth buying ever? As long as the supply of greater fools never runs out, won't there be people around who buy into every dip and keep the price going higher?

I'm still not sure if that guy is lucky or screwed with his Bitcoin investment, but he seems confident it will work out.

I swore I'd never buy another domestic. And now I drive a Chevy. First one I ever bought myself, to be honest (my first vehicle was a Chevy pickup, but it was a gift from my dad so that doesn't count...). I love the reliability of the Japanese cars I've owned, but there are certain cars that you can't buy from anybody but Ford and GM. And so I find myself driving a Camaro SS 1LE. Paragon of reliability it is not, but egads is it quick.

I've owned a fair number of Subies and probably am going back to them for my next daily driver. Unless I get something like a Bolt. Can't see myself happy with a Model 3, I've owned too many cars with touchscreens and I dislike 'em.

I agree with you. That said, I can see how AI could be leveraged to generate implementation of highly precise specs. Code would probably evolve to be more about defining desired behavior, very formally, and AI could possibly build the implementation of it. I suspect this would be at the function level first, or unit, like maybe a set of data and a few functions over the data. You could describe clearly the expected behavior, in a formal language, and then AI could write a highly optimized implementation of it.

Now, would this be just as tedious? Would it make coding any faster? Dunno. Maybe the coding of the spec would be almost harder, and a bad spec would still result in bugs in the code.
Wow, I've heard some bad arguments on here, but this one is great. Good work.
I’m not sure if you’re willfully misinterpreting what happened or just unware, but the debate over how to scale bitcoin (basically, on-chain vs off-chain) is know being played out with Bitcoin vs Bitcoin Cash. And it’s looking like big blocks is actually a solution for scalability (lower fees, faster transactions), at least in the short term.

(For those not aware, Bitcoin Cash is a fork of Bitcoin that removes segwit, the initial groundwork for off-chain scaling solutions, and instead simply increased the blocksize; so far this has proven to greatly reduce network congestion.)

Maybe it was the right call for Coinbase to not support many of the forks, but they will be adding support for Bitcoin Cash in 2018 (at least withdrawals). So it’s inaccurate to characterize Brian Armstrong on the “losing” side of these debates.
> a new build system replacing one that already worked fine.

Have you actually tried the legacy build system before making that comment ? If not, I would suggest you to try that. It's by far the worst build system I ever dealt with. Just to give you an example, if there's a compilation failure in the middle of build process, build system will not stop, it will continue to compile everything that it should not compile and then exit with status 0. There was an absolute need to replace it with something newer.

Replacing the build system is just the first step towards improving the code base and it's not the end of it.

> So, when you took the effect of λI from T,

If I understand right, you’re saying that there’s an interpretation in terms of the geometry of the T transformation, of subtracting this diagonal matrix from T. Multiplication of matrices is composition of transformations, I get that, but I’m not so sure what adddition/subtraction is.

Yes. All the work of "don't enter your bank password on any website that isn't your bank" went down the bloody trash once this awful workaround to the awfulness that is ACH happened. It's very sad.
That's what I was about to say too! But you said it better. :)

Unit tests are for standalone modules. Integration tests are for apps. It's definitely good to factor stuff out into modules where you can, but ultimately you'll still want to check that everything works when it's all hooked up together.

I guess the alternate approach would be writing "mocks" for the submodules, so the higher-level app can be treated as a module itself, and unit tested rather than integration tested. I've found that to be difficult and error-prone compared to integration testing (or normal unit testing for that matter) -- as you say, unexpected interactions between modules can easily fall through the cracks.

No code reviews. One single developer owns a lot of code. Extremely tied deadlines with very high expectations. Things get pushed out all the time. No real team work. Just code in time, send it to QA, they'll find 10000 bugs... problem, you only have a week to fix everything. Guess what, *hit gets pushed out.

In other words, there's no time to right quality code at Apple. Either you're an extremely talented and organized developer, or, you'll keep shipping ugly code.
enron had a lot of 'value' too.
I think you mean STABILIZING effect?
Since Bitcoin, as well as other cryptos, remove the influence of violence from human interactions, they have a stabilizing effect on every aspect of human interaction in which exchange of value is involved.
The current increase in USD valuation is a consequence of this stabilizing effect.
The high volatility is an echo of all past instability and violence and insanity that is now being "washed out" of our lives.
I'm glad to see improvement happening at such a rapid pace, regardless of current Bitcoin price.
What I find most interesting about Coinbase is that they quote your selling exchange rate the moment you place a sell order. If I click "sell" right now, they lock in the $13,000 exchange rate or whatever it is. The amount that shows up in my bank days later is exactly what they quoted at the time I placed the sell order. When people start selling off, this policy is either going to drive them to bankruptcy or create a lot of unhappy customers.

that crypto currencies are really just starting and there is a very high ceiling

Starting at what?

What is the value proposition that is actually in play here, for which there is some hard evidence of it's existence, other than a speculative frenzy?

It's a bit galling how many people this go 'round are just outright saying "yeah, it's a ponzi, come on guys hop on! there's a high ceiling! hope you get your chair when the music stops!"
No, reread it as "For example, [consider] their recent hire Jonathan Zdziarski[, whom you'll see is a leading iOS security researcher from a cursory Google search]"

It will be interesting to see if, when, and how they try to move all that crypto-loot. I'd be surprised if BTC/USD didn't start falling in anticipation of increased supply (and hopefully some healthy trepidation regarding the state of Bitcoin security), since Bitcoin is still the main source of liquidity between crypto and fiat.
Well it could be real depending on whose definition we're going by. I remember a teacher in school giving us pictures of skyscrapers buried in water. Is that realistic?

CBO relatively bipartisan analysis says $500B from economic growth, but we can't be sure as it doesn't account for a lot of things. Republicans say it's a lot more, Democrats say it's a lot less.

Tax havens that everyone complains about have been taken out which I feel like should be discussed more. Global 10% minimum tax no matter where you make money. If Ireland you pay 1.3% you now pay 8.7% to the US, China 15% you pay 0% to the US. That is going to change the global structure completely and the IP changes haven't been analyzed either.

A lot of redundant tax breaks and loopholes are now gone like allowing deductions for executive pay etc, and no more needing to pay crazy taxes to bring overseas profits back, 0% so investment should be high. These 2 were very very important for US and both bipartisan but the politics of "reducing corporate taxes" is awful. No more hiding IP, storing assets without using them.

Bush ballooned the debt with stupid wars. Democrats doubled the national debt adding like 11 trillion over 8 years, completely botching up the healthcare allowing the 6 biggest insurance companies to sextuple profits, premiums and deductibles to go sky high and the deficit getting screwed next year. Cabinet budgets went up like crazy. Departments that had 30-50k employees for decades suddenly get 75k full time, bigger budgets approved every year.

Spending cuts are next on the docket, but the budget plan is supposed to cut 50B+ a year.

Basically I'd take $1T over 10 years over Democrats $11T waste over 8, Bush $8T mess over 8 though like Clinton, hope budget can be balanced. Obviously I wish it was revenue neutral and if it were up to me, I would cut corporate tax to 25%, foreign global minimum to 11%, individual top tax bracket to 45% for $2M+ (doesn't even target top cardiologist couples, just athletes and the very top). That should be revenue neutral and the best way to use a trillion dollars would be to invest it in research and new technologies. That has been the best catalyst for economic growth, increase in QOL, and driver of less poverty.
