I have this friend who runs this forum out of self-made software- not a prefabbed PHP-bb, but home made software. Nonetheless, he had thousands of members who all shared the same particular hobby.

One time I decided to test his inputs, and surprisingly- one of those inputs contained a vulnerability in that it allowed you to post ANY text script or characters without sanitization. I quickly hobbled together a cookie-stealing script and proved how serious this hack was by stealing the password of an alternate dummy account just by visiting my poisoned user/info page.

I told my friend about it, and it took him a surprising long amount of time to actually get around to fixing it.
I think your question is better directed upthread: I'm attempting to clarify possible misunderstandings, not arguing for any particular position. But it's important to keep in mind that people have different needs and desires in different contexts. One off the top of my head is something like AWS Lambda. It's not necessarily the context where Macchiato would play a role, but a server context where one might indeed be starting up processes thousands of times a day.

You can infer (or retrofit), but then there is the smug, pro-political non-factual content of the post.

I don't consider echoing smugness necessarily snide. Don't insinuate to me all that all educated Americans share your political views and then proceed to back it up with half (or non) facts.
Well certainly all of the HODLers care. Some of them have a lot to lose if Bitcoin fails.

I think a bigger risk than specifically Bitcoin failing is all this crypto fragmentation. If not Bitcoin, then what?

When Yahoo was replaced by Google people switched and their lives didn’t change.

If/when Bitcoin goes to zero people could lose faith in crypto completely there might never be a replacement.
Danielle (if you read this), I was rooting for you to succeed (as a fellow entrepreneur in the same space). I hope you would write soon on what worked and what didn't.

Data business is hard for a few reasons:

1. Data is a commodity until it is not. People's contact information is a 'done to death' problem but not solved yet (and probably not solvable completely)

2. Data is capital intensive

3. Data businesses (and the modern ones at that) are more annuity businesses and less like SaaS. Monthly recurring patterns take time to emerge and you need investors that understand this dynamic. They will if you prove that your core hypothesis works and customers are buying more (if not following a strict monthly pattern).

4. You need to have enough money and execution speed to prove your hypothesis. Unlike software where customer development and execution discipline can help you launch a good product, in the data business you need to stitch partnerships early on with data sources. That's not easy.

You tried. Again, I'd love to read your reflections on what you could've done differently.

Recognition of the limitations of science only comes after better science provides a more accurate model, and demonstrates those limitations. That's how science works. It's not always wrong, it's incrementally more and more correct.

What's being asked here is not to accept the limitations of science, but to simply assume that science is wrong and that skepticism based on it should be ignored. So let me ask you this, on what basis would you attempt to study or possibly falsify any UFO claim, or even find the truth behind it, if skepticism and science can't be trusted?
How foreboding!

(3) information is controlled through industry sources (most of the information the researchers were able to dig up was put out by breeding associations)

The first language I learned (after Applesoft BASIC) was C. I wrote C for a long time. About 6 years ago I picked up Python. Today I find it much easier and much more pleasant to spin up a new idea in Python, to the point that it is my default choice for new projects with fuzzily defined goals. None of my ideas have become companies, but I could totally see just sticking with Python even past the point that it became unwieldy.

It is the other way around. I didn't understand why companies would even consider not hiring old/experienced software engineers until I met him.

And now I am on a diet and quit smoking :-)
I am not sure how this could possibly work. To govern and regulate a public block-chain is fundamentally against what they stand for. A public block-chain-based cryptocurrency is meant to be resistant to government forces. They shouldn't be allowed to enforce rules on who or what you trade.

A better approach would be to regulate the exchanges, which is probably not too far off. However, even in this case decentralised exchanges like BISQ could most likely completely avoid any regulation.
Yes, but it's been pretty much taken over by Google now. All but one of the WHATWG spec editors are from Google. No editor is there which is from a non-browser vendor.

IMO it makes a strong case for the still existence of the w3c html spec.
It feels like the heady days of 1999, where anyone that could was "pivoting" to the web at ridiculous speed and IPO valuation. This isn't a dig on crypto itself though-- after the '00 bubble, it's not like the internet went away. I do wonder what crypto 2.0 will look like, a few years on from its bubble. Here's to hoping the pop comes early and quick, and the real progress can begin in earnest.
Count me in. Thanks

Could you give a short summary on how it works and how it avoids the pitfalls of bitcoin? I searched around in that link but couldn't find a paper describing the currency.
Your example of electric cars doesn't really translate. In your example, people are buying electric cars because there is an intrinsic property to them that make them superior to alternatives (e.g. faster). With bitcoin, people are currently buying not because they believe something about bitcoin is better. Instead, they're following greater-fool theory investing.

Whether millenials have learned about existing financial systems or not is immaterial. It's unlikely they'd be holding a position in bitcoin if it weren't for the massive gains that have been seen in the past year. It's purely a get rich quick play for the majority of buyers today.
Bitcoin truly does suck, for reasons mentioned and the wastefulness of PoW. However, saying that "blockchain sucks" is really short sighted and screams of ideological bias. We're not in the MySpace stage yet, but more like AOL. The internet in the early 90s sucked a whole lot too but the potential was pretty obvious, just like it is with crypto. And today there's a whole lot more to blockchain than just digital cash. That's just the most obvious and, by now, one of the least interesting applications.

Sure, all of this technology is nascent and scaling issues are yet to be solved. But it's far from useless in its current form. Not every application needs 10s of thousands of txs per second, for example ICOs. I know that this is another hot-button issue, but some of us feel strongly that people should not be protected from themselves. And that's the most important thing that blockchain offers: true freedom, and that's why it's so exciting. Especially at this junction, in the wake of the internet having been co-opted by big business and big government.
That's kind of missing the point though. Languages are tools for different purposes. You may love chizels and lathes and saws but you wouldn't build a suspension bridge with wood. Just like I wouldn't build a cabinet with cement, steel, and rebar.

Picking C++ over Python is like picking woodworking over metalworking.

Python being slow is never an issue unless someone is insisting on using the wrong tool for the job.
> the big short wrote that stripper to appear ignorant of the circumstances she was in

While this article doesn't appear to be painting the same kind of picture, it appears that both people have similar levels of knowledge about the subjects they're dealing with.

If the article showed that she knows how Bitcoin works - keys, signing, etc (something on the same level as explaining credit default swaps), then I would be impressed and give more weight to her thoughts on the subject.

However, she said that Bitcoin "will be too high for individuals to invest in." I don't see why that would be the case at any price, as people can buy fractions of a Bitcoin.
To live without a car is to make a complete and total surrender of your movement through life to the government. Even for the BDSM community, that's an extreme level of power exchange.

The MTA is exceptional among American institutions in receiving this level of trust in large part because it's neutral. Sure, you can only move around at the government's whim, but the government is happy to take you anywhere at any time.

If it starts to get moralizing and opinionated, i.e. "you don't really need to go out drinking at night," that trust will evaporate rapidly. As it should.

Systems that merely augment car cultures, or that serve collectivist societies which already trust government with even greater degrees of control over their lives, are not useful precedents. New York is basically singular in getting Americans to surrender to central planners so thoroughly.

Is their goal to annotate everything or just the non-obvious things? Also how would a tool like this handle cases where the “correct” type is a generic base class but at runtime it only sees a certain subclass? To be pythonic, a function that accepts a tuple should usually also accept a list for example, but at runtime that may never happen.

The fragmentation is fine. Technology is in the works to make blockchains interoperable. Look up Polkadot.
Rewriting over a million lines of code in a statically typed language coming from one likely as riddled with type errors as this codebase is is unlikely to be productive. They're making the best of a terrible situation.

I also think that if they want to use types the correct approach is to apply a tool like this as a stop-gap but write new components going forward and bug fixes/feature re-writes in a language that supports types "properly" (i.e. in the way they seem to want, that is static types checked at compile time).

I think tools like this are great for companies in situations like this. I don't think they're good to use from the outset: the team should just use an actually statically typed language instead.
I'm not sure how much bay area real estate shortages drive this; I suspect little.

1. It's unclear how much additional housing will drop prices. There's enormous demand and denser housing costs more to build per square foot. Realistically, we're talking 10 to 20% drops as upper bounds of cuts (think Seattle costs)

2. [Edited to clarify price driving] These companies have decided to be in the bay area for some reason (mainly talent pool?) At that point, you are competing with very high paying companies. (Top prices for senior eng being set by companies like Google which pay $300k TCO; Series B stage startups need to do $170k+ cash to be competitive.. while not everyone can command these jobs, land costs are being set by them)

3. Sure, there might be some people excited enough to take a pay cut. But I suspect a lot of the problem is how poor the expected outcome is for first employees. Companies still seem unwilling to give out equity levels that justify pay cuts (i.e >10%)

That's ridiculous. Shouting fire in a theater would be covered under 18 U.S. Code 2102 - inciting a riot (assuming anyone took you seriously). There's absolutely no way that's protected under free speech, and there are countless examples of previous trials to back it up.

People like the guy you link are ridiculous and just want to be the smartest guy in the room. In 2017, people using the phrase are obviously not referencing the case in question, and common sense would tell you that shouting fire in a crowded theater would result in a situation in which you could be tried for violating countless laws if the end-result was damage to property or persons.
If this is the financial world you want, you just need a government database (ledger) of who has what currency and an API. Would be a lot simpler than blockchain which is designed to be de-centralized. Using blockchain for this is putting a square peg in a round hole.
Excellent. But we could have had this years ago had Microsoft maintained an up to date and standards-compliant C library instead of promoting their insular and proprietary "visual" C++ ecosystem.

I actually have no problem with it. I enjoy going out to bars and drinking and in the US that's my main use case for the subway late at night. But I've also seen around the world how proper continuous maintenance can make public transportation clean and almost a joy to ride. I'm willing to give up some of my fun for a better system that runs smoothly. NYC has the largest system in the US, but DC had one of the best and their lack of maintenance has nearly destroyed it. Subways are barely profitable as is, but I would never want to live in a city without one. I find the weekend schedule in Europe and the night owl system to be a pretty fair compromise for something that will benefit everyone as opposed to just wanting it open for my own selfish reasons.

Microsoft moved to C++ a decade ago, the C compiler exists only for backwards compatibility and generates substandard code vs the same file compiled through the C++ compiler. C features are only supported as required by the C++ standard, although I personally miss VLAs.
The way I implemented it was with a "memory" class that provides the memory map intrinsic to the system itself. When I load the ROM, I identify the mapper specified in the iNES header. There's a mapper class that basically provides the NROM variants, and classes derived from that (one per mapper family) to implement the ASICs.

I have toy-emulator-colored glasses ;-) I've got a few mappers written, but never tried to tackle MMC3 or MMC5, just because the CPU code isn't well-situated to handle most interrupts properly right now. It's been a while since I've thought about that part of the code, but I think that the mappers might be aware of the current PPU cycle (or could be easily wired to be) to support some kind of frame-dependent addressing.
