I consider any computer platform that cannot run an "untrusted" application in a manner that doesn't endanger its user (within certain limits - e.g. it's practically impossible to limit what kind of internet traffic the application can do, or what kind of scams it can make the user click through), a failed computer platform.

In particular, browsers could always run JS in a separate process that's appropriately virtualized (i.e. has limited access to host information and resources).

doesn't the fact that its trading at 1.07 mean that tether doesn't have easy access to USD or an easy way to exploit the arbitrage. tether as a company can take USD and print tethers. so they could take USD $100, print 100 tethers, exchange them for USD $107 and walk away with $7 profit. i don't think people would even be mad if they did this. this is exactly what they should be doing to preserve the peg.
We follow a very similar pattern and we are at over 150 micro services right now (AWS Lambda).

A couple of things different that we do since we are building and then deploying to AWS:

- Build only on dedicated deployment branches (beta, qa, preview, prod)

- Build all functions (transpile, yarn, lint, etc) on every merge into the branch, but only deploy functions with different checksums (saves on api calls to AWS)

- We cache node_modules, but otherwise don't have any special build requirements and babel takes care of targeting node6.10 for Lambda

Total build time is between 8-13 minutes. There are some things we can do to speed up install that we haven't yet because it's not an issue yet but just a short list of things to note.

- Each function has it's own package.json for it's own packages. We maintain a list of npm packages that we download into a single folder first (that doesn't get deployed) to allow yarn to use those files from cache. We will eventually switch to an offline install for each function which essentially just copies the package folder and sets up anything it needs.

- We have a tarball package that includes all of our shared code / config files. Yarn seems to always want to download this file, regardless if we pre-download it.

- We deploy a single api endpoint for all of our micro services through API Gateway which cuts down on the time to deploy since API Gateway has a pretty hard throttle. This means we create a deployment on API Gateway every merge. We have one APIG for each environment

I'm not particularly good at it, but it seems that the trick is to be attuned to what the other person starts talking about, and pursue that, possibly feigning deep interest until you uncover something that might be actionable.

Yep. A top fuel dragster goes from 0-60 mph (~0-100 kmh) in about 0.2 seconds, but it will use about 20 gallons (~75 liters) of fuel going 1,000 ft (~300 m). Very high performance. Very low efficiency.

In the 90s there were ton of mom and pop ISPs. But in the 90s they piggy backed off of telephone lines (dial up) so they didn't have to have an infrastructure aside from running a high speed connection to their office and having a bank of modems connected to phone lines.

I remember there was even a company that let you "start your own ISP" with just a 10 minute sign up form. You used their high speed connection and their modem bank and they took 3/4 the profit.
Not everyone _needs_ accessibility ramps, but we all benefit from them. :)

That's because no one looks at a chart with only two data points. Once you have a few hundred, you are less trying to determine individual percentage moves and more trying to determine the percentage change _relative to the other percentage changes on the chart_, which are obscured at best, and constantly changing as you compare with different things at worst.

You don't have to take my word for it. Every candlestick chart you will ever see uses a flexible axis unless the time series is expanded to include a period of time when it was at zero.

I think "making AI accessible to every business" is a bit of stretch. While there's no doubt that the AutoML suite will bring tremendous benefits to businesses with recommendation and speech and image recognition needs, it falls short of providing more useful insights such as those gleaned by association rules, clustering (i.e. segmentation), and general probabilistic models.

I think that if AI is to be accessible to every business then it will deliver insights rather than the machinery to produce the insights. This is especially true in the context of small businesses.

The CEO who took over in 2012 has had it revenue-positive every year and in 2016 ATL voters passed a tax increase to build out more, so it's got the public support now as well.
Even at the height of the 2000 bubble the Industry Standard, Business 2.0, Wired, etc., had some semblance to journalism.

At most I could call them optimistic, but, at least, I fail to recall, them engaging in hedging, that is on the one hand have a writer extol some company or tech as virtue, then, the next page deride the same thing for being obviously of extremely dubious value, of not outright liability.

This thing gets tedious and doesn't do journalism any favors.

It's like they have no compass and simply blindly go for the most clicks no matter what.
How is it "funded by" bitcoin?

Tell me. If all the money in BTC markets dried up tomorrow, would the cryptocurrency innovation stop?

I argue that innovation would continue, even if BTC crashes to $5 tomorrow. Because cryptocurrencies, as they are currently implemented, don't require money for people to improve them. The entire concept of "equity" and "market cap" is completely, and utterly devoid of meaning in this space.

If you buy up Google or TSLA stock, those companies have more money to actually make factories, data-centers, or buy computers. This happens through a mechanism called stock offerings. Ex: https://www.cnbc.com/2016/05/20/tesla-raises-146b-in-stock-s...

If you buy up BTC, the innovators do NOT get money. Only the miners do. Its way better to just Paypal the money directly to BTC foundation or directly to Etherium developers if you actually care about "funding" those projects.

------------

As it stands right now, the Winklevoss Twins are getting more BTC money than the BTC core developers. The "investment" scheme of the BTC world is broken. BTC "market cap" does NOT benefit the devs.

GP was talking about auditing costs at financial institutions which is a different issue than credit card transactions (I think).

Another portion of that 3% cost is marketing in the form of cashback and rewards points which can be eliminated if the market or regulators demand it. In Australia they capped credit card fees to around 0.5% on the basis that the fees were a market distortion. They review them regularly and have suggested that lower fees are appropriate [1]. It doesn’t actually cost Visa that much to handle transactions, and there are proven solutions to fixing credit card fees if that is what is desired.

The transistors in a modern machine use a minuscule amount of power and don't have enough area to make an antenna. You need to find a way to affect an output pin of the chip. Address lines for example will do a decent job, and the lower bits of the address are easy to control with a program.

Net neutrality outlaws any conduct by the ISP to regulate or throttle off destinations by which site it is. Customers aren't doing it, the ISP is. Even Ajit Pai's proposal demands transparency so customers can make their own decisions, but net neutrality would indeed prohibit specific use Internet offerings.

Nobody could offer one because net neutrality would prohibit an ISP from intervening if you popped the SIM into another device to surf the web with it.

Google and Netflix are both against allowing such because streaming video, of which these companies own the largest providers of streaming video, would be the primary thing limited plans would all definitely restrict. Neither company wants ISPs selling Internet plans that can't use their video services.

Even if it'd be good for the customer.

The title is deceptive clickbait. The actual question is how much right the defendant had to block or cancel his lawyers' official actions (both public defenders and his own lawyers) he disagrees with before he fires them.

Thanks lawyer did block a not guilty plea (obviously since the case went to trial); the lawyer told the court the client was guilty during the trial, which was the lawyer's opinion.

How can you be sure the system you copied those files from is not compromised, the micro-controller on the USB stick has not been compromised, and now it's not going to take control of the build system and replace the compiler chain with a modified one which will make all your software vulnerable?
Aziz Ansari and the Paradox of ‘No’
If you read the text of the article, you see ALL the percentages referring to the total, not to the changes.

For example:

> Yesterday, Bitcoin was just a few dollars away from dropping below $10,000, but it bounced back around $11k, a 15% drop from two days before.

That 15% refers to the total of around $10,000 and not to some change!

The text is full of these examples.
