From a sales point of view, Nvidia actually doesn't care that much about researchers, they make up a small percentage of sales. They care about gamers (VR has been a big help), and especially cryptocurrency mining where customers will buy multiple video cards at a time (kaching). There are even blockchains now that are resistant to ASIC mining, where GPU mining is the best again. (BTG for example)

I suspect that from Nvidia's viewpoint, cloud providers are a middleman and make GPU usage more efficient, which threatens sales. Why should I, ask a cryptocurrency miner, buy 4 new video cards when I can rent unused time that has already been paid for by someone else at the data center? (if the cost is cheaper, which sometimes it is)

Though I question how they intend to enforce this new provision of theirs given that GPU cloud usage is already widespread.
Impressive and intricate write up.
Indeed.

There are a number of "alt-coins" (blockchain-based cryptocurrencies other than bitcoin) designed to be "ASIC-resistant" e.g. by using the Lyra2REv2 algorithm.*

This is notably the case of Monero and Monacoin, two popular cryptos in Japan. Generally, the Japanese and Koreans are very enthusiastic about cryptocurrencies in general.

Cryptocurrency GPU-mining on Tesla cards would be outright unprofitable.

These facts may contribute to Nvidia's decision not to displease Japanese GPU miners specifically.

* This is to avoid big ASIC farms as is the case of bitcoin (apparently, more than 70% of bitcoin's hash rate comes from China, most notably from a specific valley where electricity is dirt cheap). One purpose of ASIC-resistance is to maintain a high-enough degree of decentralization in mining, which increases security for the network/blockchain.

Getting that right at the implementation level is quite hard; it also requires support at the OS level that isn't always there (e.g. interrupting a blocking system call).
Work is at 10% of relationships and rapidly falling: https://arc-anglerfish-washpost-prod-washpost.s3.amazonaws.c.... In a few decades it’s going to be socially unacceptable to hit on coworkers. “If I were looking for a date, I’d be on tinder!”

As to the sexual revolution, read Dworkin’s take on it. Her point that it is a distinctly a man-centric view of sexual freedom is prescient. It’s not just about being free to have sex whenever/with whoever you want, but also freedom to live aspects of your life without dealing with sexual advances. It’s about the freedom to go to work and have coworkers look at you as someone who can help advance their careers, or someone who they can mentor, not a potential date.
This is just a blatant attempt to sell the exact same product to two different types of customers at different prices based on their (presumed) willingness to spend.

Actually it's worse. It's an attempt to cripple a perfectly functioning cheap product aimed at a different audience (gamers) for another audience (machine learning folks) in order to drive them to more expensive products that do the same thing.

Pure greed.
I don't think anyone is saying the crypto bubble bust will have much of an effect on the economy either.

I agree, Bitcoin being the largest has a lot of issues with governance and the community not being able to move fast on the scaling issues. I'm not too familiar with the core team's development plans but there's a lot of scaling work and research going on with Ethereum and Litecoin, etc and eventually I'm sure whatever works would flow into Bitcoin as well.

I think having the first-mover advantage and name recognition, the network effect that it has right now and the global media's attention, it looks really difficult for a smaller coin with better tech overtaking BTC anytime soon.

We've all seen technologies that are more advanced than an established player in a field but a lot of times, that does not matter. That's what I believe at least for the short to mid-term timeline.

It's on the server side, but you don't manage any servers.

Serverless means you don't manage any servers, directly or indirectly. It's a step further towards where you don't own any servers.

It's part of an evolution that has gone from being more aware of servers to being less aware: on-site servers -> colocated physical servers -> dedicated servers -> virtual private servers -> cloud virtual private servers -> autoscaled cloud VPS -> cloud functions where you you aren't billed by, or even aware, of the number of servers running

I don't think "serverless" is a terrible term.

This is a very serious comment. I am wondering how to recruit professionals to build a trading desk inside my company where we specialize in secure cryptocurrency applications and are part of some venture funds but just don't do day trading.

I am also wondering if your comment is serious of not because it doesn't add anything to the discussion.
In the context provided it sounds like the client meant his son would be taking over as the steward of investvesting his money and was going to put it into BTC. This is not illegal in any way. It’s not any different than having an investment manager in the first place, other than it sounds like an objectively terrible idea.

It’s pretty common to move around retirement accounts in the US, the most popular type are tied with your job and frequently move when you change employers.
Even absent the cluster of machines I found this to be very useful. Several years ago, I would use zeromq (thank you, btw) for communication and if the socket overhead was found to be an issue, I would merge two processes and switch from tcp:// to inproc://. Many "corrupt the world" type bugs are isolated from each other by processes, and it made it very hard to accidentally share state (the file system of course is a giant hunk of share state, but you very rarely accidentally write to a file).
The difficulty of implementing the Web platform comes from many things, from the difficulty of implementing JS to the complexity of the DOM to how subtle CSS is to complex, far-reaching APIs like ServiceWorker and WebGL to unspecified behavior depended on by sites. There is no one reason.

I will say that the DOM is one of the better-specified areas of the Web platform. CSS 2.1, for example, is significantly worse. And the table layout specifications are in a miserable state (one of the reasons why it drives me crazy when people suggest going back to table layout for "simplicity").
I'm also at a fairly strict 80 (errm, 79 inclusive).

At work, I've managed to get a 99 column limit, with 79 columns for comments. But yeah, some people just don't like the limit. I like it because of monitor size/font size/distance from monitor/side-by-side editor windows. Autowrap doesn't cut it.
For technical reasons, Bitcoin honestly sucks. The block rate is so low that transactions cost many dollars and take hours to confirm. This is only going to continue to get worse, as it turns out that having a global ledger is actually the opposite of a decentralized system.

I can't do anything with Bitcoin that I can't do more easily with my credit card. It offers no value except a tool for rampant speculation. Block chain is junk, and while I see promise in the future I strongly believe we're in the Myspace stage. Something better will come along in a few years and blow this garbage away. Something that's actually usable as a real currency in all the ways I can use a dollar and maybe more.
Actually it's pretty standard to get replacement phones in a plastic bag with no accessories, I got a 5S replacement in a ziplock bag with a piece of A4 paper with some diagnostics data printed on it all in a thin layer of bubble wrap then in an envelope.

I think that part of the reason this is happening is the move to digital cinematography, which makes this kind of adjustment from raw video files much easier.

Also, moving to digital allows you to basically configure your own "film look" rather than relying on the filmstock that you're feeding into your cameras.

Digital also tends to look a bit more flat and desaturated than film in general. So to make up for that, they make use of strongly direct lighting to cast shadows all over the actors (it's really noticeable on the face) to give depth to the image.

This Star Trek example is a good one of this: http://www.ramascreen.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Star-Tr...

you don't pay corporate taxes with a pass through LLC. You deduct your expenses from your income, and the rest gets passed through the LLC to you as personal income. So you're getting taxed on less because you can essentially write off any expense that you can justify as being spent on the corporation itself.

The downside is, usually, that you get taxed on ALL profits personally no matter how much you actually withdraw from the LLC but if you are the only member and you're just using it for tax purposes that's less of an issue since you intend to take all the money anyway.

Disclaimer, I am not a tax professional, and I do not actually do the taxes/distributions for the LLC I part won. This is just how it was explained to me by the person who actually does those taxes.

If you can code a prototype as fast as asking question, why not. Code it up and then ask, "how about this: what requirements are missing from this that require changes or a rewrite?"

Asking too many questions sounds like you're trying to delay coding something up.

Suppose you just ask questions and they pile on more the requirements. Then the combination of requirements makes it so hard that you can't really code anything on a whiteboard. You're hosed.

If you incrementally prototype, at least you arrive at the same point having some iterations of code on the whiteboard.

Restricting the JS engine but allowing other browser engines to tie into it so you could leverage different browser's rendering and CSS features would be a step up and would sidestep much of the problem.
Sam,

let me offer one humble suggestion.

1) UBI (or anything similar) in Oakland is expensive. Back of the napkin calculation: $1,000/month/person = $12,000 = you need about $0.5M in capital to maintain that level of basic income without reducing the capital over time (I am applying the usual 4% interest on capital, for passive income - the number might be wrong or might change in the future (see Piketty) but let's use it for now).
Instead, UBI in other regions of the world can be a small fraction of it (I can easily imagine 1/10th of what it costs in Oakland = $50,000).

2) You have ~15,000 YC alumni. Ask each one of them to commit at least 50k each (or multiples of it), to offer UBI to 15,000 people in a developing country. In exchange for that, you might give them a tiny share of YC (not equivalent to 50k, but perhaps a smaller amount). It shouldn't be seen as a great investment for them; it should be instead done mostly out of altruism.

3) UBI provided to 15,000 people (or possibly more) is the right type of experiment, at a big enough size. It's essentially a big village, or a number of small villages. It's also good to see this applied in a developing country: the impact can really be seen and observed properly.

4) I am pretty sure that there would be a number of volunteers willing to commit their time to observing and measuring the experiment, wherever it will be (however, I suggest to pick an English-speaking developing country, as it makes many other things easier).
Except, in this case, batteries lose their ability to deliver power as part of normal wear and tear.
There’s no way to tell the entire holdings of Satoshi though so it’s quite possible she/he had other wallets and has made bank. Mining was easy for quite some time and once people were selling lots of coins it’s possible Satoshi was a buyer (if for no other reason than to help kickstart the market for them).
Interesting to note that the background changed significantly in each of the shots.
> agents are forced to throw all common sense out the window when handling people

It is not common sense but totally sensical. A grandma could have been threatened to strap it on her butt or her relative/friend gets it in the head.
The lightning network could fix everything, or fail spectacularly. I think an even bigger danger than failing spectacularly is if they take too long to roll it out. Other cryptocurrencies are already gaining some favor because of the situation BTC is in now with the high transaction fees.

It has a good chance of working, in my opinion (the lightning network), if they don't dawdle too long. But the clock is ticking.

At least they disclose it, I suspect many more places aren't.

Hmm, I was going to say that at YC they're investing on the team more than the product, and they can afford to do that, but I think investing primarily based on the team is common after the seed round too. So I concede that it doesn't make logical sense that the YC startups are too early to invest, if you have the right investor, that is going to play a similar role to YC.
You’re really spoiling for a fight today, aren’t you?
Looking at the certificate posted lower in this thread, everyone is throwing a fit over nothing. This is the correct way to do what they want to do, unless they want to register/use an application protocol.

They have a REST server running locally, and they want to link to it from websites on the internet. So they created the domain localbattle.net which points to 127.0.0.1. But there's a problem, they can't use http traffic (because of mixed content warnings, even though it wouldn't really be insecure), so they have to use https traffic. They can't use a public CA because the CA would throw a fit if they found out keys for certs were being distributed in an application (they could lose trust in major browsers due to something like that). So they generate a non-ca certificate (notice the cert doesn't have basicConstraints: CA=true) during setup, install it in the OS so the browsers trust it, and use it in their local webserver. The key is only available on the computer (and I assume it's stored in a secure manner). The only way they could use this cert to mitm your SSL traffic, or phish/pharm you is to do that same process with a different domain in the subjaltname extension.

I think this is a clever and secure solution to the problem they face.
At the end of the day you're already running their code on your computer and have given it admin privileges in the past, so you can't say you don't trust the application, and this doesn't introduce any supply-chain type vulnerabilities that could be exploited down the line (that didn't already exist in the auto-updater, which is a much bigger issue I have with the Blizzard client).

So I guess I'm asking, what am I missing, why is everyone freaking out at Blizzard?
Overall the idea is about 20 years old. The earliest reference I can think of is Karl Simms work. It's pretty impressive considering how old it is: http://www.karlsims.com/evolved-virtual-creatures.html
You’re going be surprised how CPUs are price segmented in that case (they’re cut from the same wafers and priced by the clock frequency QA validates at).

Price semgnentation isn’t necessarily bad; you want to segment your product in order to maximize revenue across all possible customers; this is just a more egregious/bold attempt at doing so (and is hopefully prevented by a court).
I render a column at 80 and rarely exceed it. Given that my font size is quite large, there's not much wasted space. A lot can happen in 80 chars though, especially in Clojure, so allowing 100, 120, or even more is asking for one-liners which are far too complex.
It'd be funny snark if it were true, but the point is that the only qualification is to be a member of YC. Nothing else matters, including how much or little effort you put in.

Also, members of YC are members for life unless they get excluded. It doesn't matter if their company fails.
They invest based on very little data. It's more a gamble, but they gamble at scale, with good odds.

It doesn't mean every one of them is good. They don't know which one is good with the data they had, but are wise enough to accept they know little and instead chose to invest in several.
