I cannot think of a single use case from the top of my head where I wouldn't prefer Vulkan over modern OpenGL. In my experience it isn't actually harder to use, even though it's technically "lower level". However, I see the next useful level up from Vulkan not in OpenGL, but an actual 3D engine like Unity, which manages state more usefully from the application's POV than OpenGL.
Here's a WSJ article from today that makes a similar claim. https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-force-behind-bitcoins-meteo...

Edit: Also, I don't think the closure of the Chinese exchanges matters much since they can still buy Bitcoins, the exchanges just can't operate in China.

Edit 2: And my reason for the assertion wasn't any special knowledge of cryptocurrencies, but rather that there's lots of Chinese money pushing up asset prices in other markets, so I don't see why they same wouldn't be true of cryptocurrencies as well.

We just released a tool to do the right path translation -- wslpath. Unfortunately we haven't added built in usage info yet. Here's a link[1] to usage info in recent Windows Insider flights.

Also, totally fair feedback about the naming. In FCU, we added wsl.exe in addition to bash.exe. It launches into your default shell rather than /bin/bash.

This Time Is Different (Part 2): What Bitcoin Really Is
Early stage would be plain Restricted Stock, as opposed to Restricted Stock Units, which are what is typically granted later on once the company gets large. RSUs are "units" not actual shares of stock with associated ownership rights. The recipient gets an award calculated based on the value of the stock, without actually owning stock.
Twitter is very useful to broadcast to the world your thoughts and it forces you to take the extra time to make it short (lots of people disagree here, but my opinion is that if you cannot put your thoughts in a tweet or 2, you need to spend more time thinking about it).

There is a time and a place for long-form text, but that should never be because the writer has not taken the time to make the text short.

I'm saying the application shouldn't require hours of work by lawyers any more than filing for an LLC or my tax filings require individual lawyer review.

In my head, I read the last statement like "why should the law trust you if you don't have enough money, and why should you be allowed to do something without the law's trust?" I believe enforcement should be reactive on regulation skirting within reason. Akin to an audit, an arrest, or anything else. You agree to abide by laws, you may even sign something or fill out a form to that effect. That there is an extra step to see if you "really" agree seems to be a way to artificially limit filing counts. I admit I am not that knowledgeable on possible history where too many did fraudulent filings requiring this individual-lawyer-review preemption.
I don’t think it is wrong... it is optimistic in the sense that I consider the possibility of affecting positive change within FB as likely or at least non-zero.

Many here insist it's a speculative bubble. And while I might agree that perhaps BTC is in such a state (this may extend toward LTC, ETH, etc), I'm curious to know your thoughts on the less popular and lower market cap "alt-coins" such as the Y-Combinator backed Request Network and Quantstamp. It's hard to say anything in crypto is truly undervalued at the moment, but I believe if anything is, it's projects with real utility that extends beyond speculation.

For those that believe in the technology that blockchain, DAG and smart contracts offer there is a lot up and coming projects that might contribute a lot to the space (and beyond into the real industry world, potentially).

While everything you state here is correct, and is clearly of serious concern, my view is that the general public doesn't really have the capacity to fight both of these battles at once.

Right now, I'm convinced we need Google's help to make it harder for governments and ISPs to censor and prioritize.

After that, we'll deal with Google.
I'd have been really surprised that you could login to lots and lots of Macs as `root` with any password too if we all hadn't learned that together recently.
One thing that browsers could do now to help with this is add the concept of a domain bookmark, with a similar interface to EV but added by the user. Then the user could a a domain bookmark of "My Bank" or whatever, and check for that when visiting any link claiming to be from your bank. Of course, banks like to use a bunch of random sounding domains so you need to do that a few times (when accessed via the main site)[note]. I check for a bookmark in firefox when typing a domain name, but something that works for the whole domain would be great.

The same basic idea with email is helpful as well, creating a visual distinction for senders you expect to receive mail from and unknown senders. I don't think it is perfectly reliable due to issues with email but it does catch all phishing attempts that I've seen personally.

The GNU Name System or similar would help in some cases, but I don't think it really solves this particular problem. To confirm that a site is one the user cares about, the best way to do that is for the user to indicate that a site is one they care about and then look for that in the future. Then they only need to get the correct site once.

[note] Some banks would still defeat this by creating short term marketing campaign domains and then allowing them to expire... I guess to deal with that there would need to be a way to mark the main long term domain and give other domains the ability to ask a different domain to vouch for them as from the same organization. Then the user could just add one domain bookmark and it would just work for all other domains from that organization. At least unless the bank forgets to update that list before the domain expires...

Why Stephen Wolfram Decided to Livestream His Company's Work
Assuming you're in the USA:

1. No real tax benefits vs. sole proprietorship. You can deduct the same amount of stuff. In fact, you're taxed in exactly the same way as you are today.

2. I formed an LLC after a few years of freelancing, mostly because I didn't want to send my SSN around on W9s via email anymore.

3. Fellow freelancers I know have established S-Corps instead, but unless you're making $100k+, it seems like a lot more work than a single-member LLC.
I think it's a comparison in terms of a ratio to public gregariousness and profile over personal ethics.
“Correct” is a tricky thing in language. There’s basically no difference between “widely used” and “correct”. My guess is that the tech community will generally resist using “crypto” to mean “cryptocurrency” while the general public might (though hopefully won’t) adopt it anyway. If so, it'll end up just like the word “hacker”.
Precisely. Any modern $5,000 workstation is going to have 16+ Xeon cores, 128+ GB of memory, NVMe SSDs, and a high-end nVidia GPU or two.

Two years ago I purchased a dual Xeon E5 workstation for 32 total HT cores, along with 128 GB, an Intel NVMe SSD, a GeForce 9-series GPU, and two 40-inch 4K 60 Hz displays for ~$5,000. Today's typical $5K workstation would presumably include an nVidia 10-series Titan and possibly an Optane SSD. And today you'd probably go with those sweet 43-inch LG 4K monitors that have matte screens (oh how I miss when matte displays were common).

I mean, I get it. This review is about the fastest official MacOS platform around. It's not concerned with Hackintoshes and certainly not concerned with Windows or Linux. That's fair. But this review is also unintentionally about how outdated the previous-generation Mac hardware is. Catching up to the present is a big deal, and congratulations to Apple on that, but how about not falling so far behind the present in the first place?

> I think people in general are quite happy with the SEC and pay-to-play barriers

I think you are probably right. But as crowdfunding (er, "crowd investing") becomes more available to the masses and the SEC cracks down on it more, a whole group of people that otherwise were unfamiliar w/ these rules aren't going to remain happy. I would not be surprised to see the barriers relaxed (but not the regulations of course).
The Leva incorporates lessons from the Strada’s pressure profiling (http://profileeditor.lamarzocco.com/files/strada_ep_guideboo...) and recording, Web-based editing, and replay (http://profileeditor.lamarzocco.com/files/profile_editor_hel...). From the PDF:

> Live pressure visualization

> The Leva X is equipped with dedicated graphical displays for each group. The displays provide live visualization of pre-infusion pressure, extraction pressure, and time throughout the course of the shot.

> After the coffee has been delivered, the extraction curve and parameters are visualized on the displays as a graph. The barista has the ability to overlay past visualizations, saving up to four graphs for each group, as guides for future extractions.
Not that you need my vote, but I agree with all of this. In particular:

- Go true native, not hybrid

- Use ads for testing ideas

- Don't forget about email!

I'm also intrigued by your approach of not going market-by-market like a lot of local-focused marketplaces do. Your approach seems to make sense, and obviously worked for you. I particularly like that you had a different onboarding flow for users in new markets, that's smart.

But still, I'm not sure that this approach would make sense for a lot of local-focused apps? I think the fear would be that it would be relatively easy to get 100k users but they'd be spread out so thin that they'd find little utility in the app and stop using it. So you'd have 100k users in your database, but a tiny fraction of that in terms of actual active users. But maybe that doesn't even matter, since you wouldn't have had all those inactive users anyway?

Could you speak to that? I'd love to hear how many of those 100k users are DAU or MAU, but understand if you can't share that :)

Congrats!

It's actually worse than that--you can have an option that's an ISO if exercised within 90 days of termination, and otherwise an NSO if exercised outside that period (say up to a year, or even 10 years). The only reason to not do it that way is because you hope some leaving employees will just let the options lapse.

A word that needs ruining there.
Why it was 65 doesn't really matter; if you are going to use life expectancy at birth to gauge whether a death is premature, the only sane figure is life expectancy at the birth of the person in question, not life expectancy at birth for people of the same gender in the year they died. (Unless they died the same year they were born, which is uncontroversially premature.)

(It also doesn't make sense to use life expectancy at @current-age in the year they died, at least if you are trying to portray “premature” death as something other than a near universal norm.)
It's the filtering that isn't working, not the platform
Yup, and that liability consumers are protected from? Merchants pay that back in chargebacks and chargeback fees.
Would be really interesting to read a write up on your experience. What do you program in now? How do you look at other PLs now? What do you miss and what are you happy "just works"? What do you think other PLs (especially languages like Lisp, which are very high in terseness) can learn from Q?
Look at chain coin. A crypto currency that was a scam coin, people lost a lot of money and the original developer dumped his supply.

It did not die, different people are now picking up the chain and making it a more valuable currency.

The point is not that these currencies are "on a computer", the point is that they represent a collective interest that lives beyond borders.

Elementary. Quite, Quite elementary. I yawn in unison with you old chap.
EM Radiation with a frequency of 500MHz to 5Ghz has wavelengths in the tens of centimeters. It is completely harmless and utterly unusable for „viewing naked bodies“.

People have studied EM radiation for a very long time, and we know what‘s dangerous. Xray is dangerous, UV at high intensity is also dangerous, radio frequncy/micro wave is harmless (unless you go to really high intensities, but then you’d fry all electronics nearby)

Maybe check a physics textbook before you get all worked up.

Edit: Also, this technology is completely different and has absolutely nothing in common with millimeter wave scanners.

Is there a body of literature that one can use to bootstrap yourself into these ideas? I've seen it written up in the popular scientific press a couple of times over the last few months, but I've never found a tutorial or textbook or body of papers accessible to AI researchers or engineers. Pure math papers are often not written to be understandable to dabblers.
Could they?

I have a pretty good idea that gold will still be valuable 100 years from now in every country in the world. (Maybe not the same value as today, but still valuable.)

Bitcoin? I have much less confidence.
I recommend doing both. It also pays (literally) to check the normal "who's hiring" thread as companies sometimes post contract opportunities there instead of in the freelancer thread.

Could you explain for someone not in to crypto?
My .02 BTC (now worth $351.44) is that cryptocurrency is here to stay. The runup might be a bubble, might not, doesn't really interest me that much. The long run for this technology feels very strong to me so I'm buying to hold.

I think BTC and ETH are the lowest-risk coins right now. 99% of the coins are going to fade away, so that's where the real bubble is. Some random ICO pops up and within months their token market cap is hundreds of millions based on nothing other than a vague buzzword-laden plan?
I didn’t because the party was loud, ambiguity wasn’t on my side and internal politics are still really hard for me to navigate. The company has bigger issues.

I did call it when more inappropriate things from happening but that was 15 years ago. Not super keen on how things unfolded but I did get bad people fired more than once.

As an actual user of ZeroMQ, nanomsg and dabbler of libdill, I assure you I know what I am talking about. Libdill/libmill is NOT on the same arch. It could be used to implement the next generation of zeromq/nanomsg, but it does not, in fact, provide any functionality that these provide today - it would be an internal implementation detail if sustrik followed through on that comment. But it would not be a nanomsg rewrite, likely something completely new - nanomsg has been rewritten, several times in several ways, by Garret D'amore who has taken over. D'amore explicitly rejected using e.g. libuv (mentioned in that comment) as a basis for a nanomsg rewrite. There's an "uncertainty" principle at work here - separating of concerns generates dependencies which in the grand scheme of things are not necessarily good.

In fact, one of D'amore's rewrites used native OS threads in lieu of a co-routine library, which worked perfectly well on FreeBSD and Solaris, and abysmally on all other OSses. The main reason to use a coroutine library in a messaging library is actually that the underlying OS threads implementations scale so badly on most modern systems.
No, filter() still visits everything in the list, it just takes a predicate to decide if that item is added to a new list. some() or every() can be used for early termination though.

That's not entirely what they mean either, because then every irrational number is "close" to a rational (just take its decimal expansion out to 200 digits - that's rational and very close to the irrational number). You also have to consider the size of the denominator of the rational you are comparing to: i.e. you want to say that irrationals are close being ration if they're close to be a "nice" rational. Where 1/2 is clearly nicer than 22/7 which is clearly nicer than 257/139.
Where did the SEC say the ethereum ICO wasn't a sale of securities?
Not necessarily. I see a few small games that roll their own OpenGL/DX11 engines due to unique requirements that game engines can't easily accommodate. I don't have any good examples off the top of my head but it's not uncommon to see indie game blog posts talking about why they're not using Unity/Unreal
Just guessing here, but... If I were Chinese, and I liked the idea of cryptocurrency (especially the untraceable part), and the government banned it, do you think that ban would make me less interested in it? Or more?
Because hate speech and identity theft are equivalent. /sarcasm
100% this. I've also seen a lot of cases where the rewrite is partial, and integrated with the legacy system to preserve end to end functionality, as they don't have enough time to do the full feature set, migrate all the data from the legacy system etc.

You then end up with a hydra system, where you need to understand both legacy and rewrite systems, and their interactive, increasing the complexity even more!
I've made about $110k profit this year in crypto on a $21k investment earlier this year, and I think this is all a giant bubble. I was at my parents' house for Thanksgiving and a commercial with Ron Paul talking about Bitcoin came on, which coincided with around the time it went to $10k, and it hit me really hard that this isn't going to last forever (and probably will hurt sooner rather than later). I liquidated everything and just entertain myself doing some day trading on GDAX. I don't hodl anymore.

The entire thing is absolutely stupid, and isn't going to last forever. People are way too bullish on it. People who have no business investing in it are taking on debt to do so, with no clear exit strategy other than "the moon." A lot of people who don't have any money are going to get absolutely toasted when the pendulum swings the other way. They're in it to get rich. They have no idea what blockchains are. They just think they're buying magic internet money people get rich from.

To put a little perspective on how ridiculous this all is: Last night after Coinbase came back from maintenance, there was the (expected) sell-off, so I figured I'd make a quick buck and bought 300 LTC for about $241 each, then sold it a few minutes later for $251 after the instant rebound and went to bed with a nice $3k profit. I woke up this morning and was astonished to see that LTC was about $380. This was in the course of about 5 hours. Had I not sold it last night, I would have made almost $40k. I'm a little annoyed about that, but again: this is a stupid, irrational bubble that makes absolutely no sense. It's entirely speculative.

I think crypto and blockchain has a future, but it has to solve a few problems first (transaction fees/time and anonymity). None of the big three currencies do that well enough yet. This bubble is going to pop soon and I'm worried that a lot of people are going to get impacted badly.
And why couldn't that happen without the scam component?
