Err.. aren't these guys going to run into regulatory problems? You need a license to sell this in the US. Not to mention selling crypto with credit cards is a great way to go broke unless you own the keys like Coinbase does.

Also, why would you trust the keys they are sending you? Having someone else generate a wallet for you then sending it to you via a USB key sounds very very bad.

I don't get this.
Nice to see a startup in Miami getting some press, but I wish it were a little more...impactful. Props to them though.
This isn't just a problem with USB-C. There are also tons of video adapters on the market that say they support 4k, but really don't. We have grips of 2560x1440 monitors at work, and they had tons of issues like this where the monitors may or may not wake up, may handle the native res for a while, then power down or switch back to 1080p. The only consistent fix for them has been to buy one particular brand of adapter that we found works and making sure it's active. So I guess what I'm saying is, display tech has already been having issues for a long time with crappy components, and USB-C is just adding one problem into the mix now.
I am astonished that an American would help Hamas educate its young people in high-tech ways to kill Israelis and Americans. I mean no disrespect to anyone who honestly wants to learn modern technology for personal enrichment. I have a problem, however, when a government, like the Palestinian government, has as a specific and stated policy the destruction of the Jewish State. As free Americans, we SHOULD NOT help them achieve this!

Oh if I'm screwing things up just to learn, I don't count that, and I've done that plenty of times on all operating systems I've used. Not the OS's fault, even for Windows. Just part of the fun!
That would be a problem for discounting for people who threaten to cancel or cancel and re-subscribce.

That is not a problem for new customers, who have 1 chance to try a new product.
Not to butt in, but nothing is stopping other women from making their own STEM girl themed youtube channel? I think that's what the beauty of youtube and the internet gives people, the ability to create their own niches. Yea if you want to be a certain type of success you may need to fake it like what everyone else is doing, but there's nothing stopping people from carving their own place in the world.
Actually he saved it.
I love how they choose 1080p to compare it to as though we should give a shit what 1080p stills look like on a 5D Mark IV.
No way. If that were the case, people would be dying all the time when trying to jump cars. You would need to wear lineman gloves to do it safely and working on cars in general would be quite hazardous. I've touched both car battery terminals before. You don't feel a thing.
Only because it bugs me: "Check out" (in the video header) is two words in this context.
> This proposal seeks to modify the way the "magically" part works. Right now, it suggests that what Go does is to 'cooperatively' preempt at function prologues. This change would instead allow the runtime to preempt at a choice of "safe points" the compiler suggests throughout your Go code.

That's how it already works, it's just that safepoints only get introduced at function prologues. This is an issue as CPU-heavy functions without any non-inlined function calls mean very few safe points which is problematic for GC and timely scheduling and may even lock up the entire system.

Previous attempts were made to add loop preemption but there are issues with that approach.

The approach in TFA is to make safe points "opt-out", all Go code would be considered safe by default with some "unsafe" regions being excluded. As the author states, this would make Go preemptive rather than cooperative ("I propose that we implement fully non-cooperative preemption").

> Anyway, not much changes for the Go programmer. The Go programmer can expect his code to be a little more predictable

Go programmers can expect their code to be a little less predictable, not more: currently your code is guaranteed to run uninterrupted between two function calls, that will not be the case anymore.

In theory it should not make any difference, in practice it will probably uncover concurrency bug you're currently shielded from by the runtime's behaviour (though likely not that many as you can already have multiple routines running in parallel).
People have latched on to the mantra that it’s not the volts that kill you, it’s the amps, but they never seem to remember that you need a certain voltage to get those amps in the first place.
It's absolutely insane that Nintendo still has no way to backup saves in the event of console failure. This compounds the already ridiculous situation where you risk bricking the console when you plug it in to a charger.

vi is unixy, in the sense of UNIX is supposed to be the "interpreter" or the IDE as some books said. vi let's you type a few keys and delegate to whoever is most capable of dealing with it. I'd love it if I was stronger with C and interprocess comms. My mind naturally wants everything into one core which is very lispy, so emacs suited me best at first.
Im going to give you some either great advice or bad advice - only time will tell.

First of all take ANY job you can get - this means starbucks is on the table - Get back to work, even part time.

Second if you have skills then start putting them to use - open source, build your own thing what ever. At least 2-3 hours a day of WORK. Google up non profits that help fellons find jobs and ask them if they can use your services as a volunteer. You never know where opportunity will come from.

Third, start a blog. Tell your story, put your real name on it. It is compelling and your looking to make a change. Show your work, name the companies that reject you - you have probably given out enough info for me to find out who you are any way just own it.

My last hint - lots of "temp agencys" and "placement agencies" will happily take you on as someone they can place. Most of them don't care if you were a rapist or a murder - it wasn't a financial crime so your fairly safe to employ. I once worked at one and they ran background checks for finance ONLY - everything else was kosher.

Introducing the Live React Component Playground
If anybody can enter and add entries to your blockchain, how do you ensure that they don't insert bogus data? If you're tracing a roll of paper what prevents somebody from adding an entry saying "the shipment got stolen" then immediately making a new entry for it with different attributes pretending it's something else? Or simply at the source pretending that something is of a higher quality than it is?

The answer is that you need some kind of vetting and certification of the people contributing to your traceability database. So you need a trusted 3rd party to coordinate all that. So you don't need a blockchain. Instead why not just have the trusted 3rd party issue certificates like a CA on the web for instance? People would digitally sign the paperwork and you could collect the documents and their signatures in a central database. If somebody notices something wrong you can show that somebody made a fake or erroneous document and hold them responsible. Then you can publish dump of the database at regular intervals for people to mirror so that they can see if you attempt to rewrite history. There, problem solved using good old 1990's technology.

Interesting that you finish your technical argument with trading lingo. Hodl, am I right?
They're selling the currency. The delivery method just happens to be a USB drive.
Nah, just picking a single channel and leaving settings on static can do wonders.

Remember, everyone else's router is on automatic, switching channels and crap all the time. If you ain't dancing around like everyone else, you're helping the issue at Large.
That is exactly the kind of thing I would expect to hear from a "Head of Blockchain". Your company made a great hire, and they will clearly push the boundaries of marketing bullshit with regard to blockchain.
You don't know the details.
Most of the project work I have secured has been based on communicating my abilities while meeting with the hiring party. I'm sure it would be different for a designer, but I have never shown a portfolio. I agree with others, go for small companies, gigs, and sell yourself in the meeting.
>I guess I want the sharp, medium format portraits we saw from the 1960's — but digital

The closest you're going to get to that now is the MF cameras from Fuji and Hasselblad. Of course, this will set you back a pretty bitcoin.

I have to say though, I just got a Nikon D850, and it's pretty nice--nearly the equal of my Hasselblad 503.

A good lawyer should have been able to negotiate it down to a misdemeanor anyway as long as there was no physical contact with the victim (which then gets into sexual assault territory, something that is unlikely to get leniency)

It really sucks for the OP, but I feel like he was massively screwed during trial & the legal process
I tend to think this 120MP sensor is probably going to be sold commercially as a surveillance product first.

There's a lot of need for products like this in stadiums, arenas, large public areas etc.

> I am afraid that introducing non-deterministic preemptive stops will just make Go concurrency a mess similar to the mutex/conditionals mess they've been trying to avoid.

It already is exactly that (Go already does m:n scheduling, so while your routine currently can't get interrupted between two function calls, two goroutines running on different OS threads can manipulate the same mutable state without synchronisation and make a mess of it), it's just that you don't necessarily notice.
I started out requiring email verification. My userbase is a bit older and less tech savvy than your average saas. It was a nightmare.

People frequently type their email wrong, put @gmail when it's a Yahoo address, misspell their own name, forget that their are numbers on the end...

AOL and MSN addresses are nigh impossible to get a message through to. Messages don't even get marked as spam. They are silently discarded. (I use mailinator and my IP is clean). (With extreme accuracy, an aol or MSN email address indicates to us that the customer will require handholding to get started.)

People just don't understand or can't follow directions. Checking their email is too hard because they can't remember their password or it's only logged in on their computer at home.

On a separate note, you wouldn't believe how many people have an expensive iPhone and have literally never downloaded a single app. We did a conference where we helped people sign up and install our app. So many people had never had to enter their iCloud password for the app store since initially creating their account.

So I think it really depends on your target market. If you are targeting developers, then a good email verification system will cause almost no friction. If you are targeting an older crowd, good luck.
I think it's a developmental stage. Do it and then stop it. See those (ex-)factories near major US cities?

They likely were acquired before PAC-3 became available for international sales.

PAC-2 have utility, they are designed to shutdown enemy aircraft on long distance. PAC-3 in contrast is designed specifically against ballistic missiles, like houthies use in their attacks.

Wall Street only cares about money extraction. Blockchain projects are currently milked dry with no where to squeeze out money. It's no surprise that they are "rethinking" it. If it should start growing fat again with lots of opportunities to extract money, Wall street will jump right back in.

That's how Windows 10 behaves for me. I already knew it, but just tried again for you playing a movie using VLC and plugging in my headphones. Works like a charm.

As opposed to us 80s kids, who were just taught to monetize our time and health.
I recently got a new workstation at work that is a MacBook Pro that connects to 2 monitors via USB-C.

I've learned somewhat superstitiously that if I don't connect and disconnect the USB-C cables in the right order the laptop may stop responding and I have to do a hard reboot. I thought this solved the problem but even now it still occasionally happens.

Your question makes me wonder if something like this isn't the cause (Mac misreading USB-C signal).
You don't die instantly. You are able to take exactly 5 steps before you die.
At least in my case, my rig has more than enough power to run debian in VirtualBox at native resolution. Works better than the native installation on my work thinkpad actually... one more excuse to work from home when I get the chance ;)
To Canon's credit starting with the 35mm f1.4L II a few years ago, they've started releasing pro grade lenses with the optical performance to handle extreme resolution sensors.

Still though 24MP is more than enough for me.

Do you really want an immutable ledger for that? Fat fingers and data entry errors can happen.
This comment is precisely the point. You assume the risks are equivalent but they aren't even close. Roughly 50x as many people die on stairs vs elevators. Yet more people are afraid of elevators. Even subtly in your comment, notice how you minimize the risks of stairs and underscore the risks of elevators.

Similar thing with ladders. No one would ever get in an elevator if it had the same risk profile as a ladder. So why do we use ladders? Because there is a high degree of control. Humans are more comfortable with risk so long as there is a control/participation element.
Doesn't this already happen online? Websites can figure out you're on a Mac or in certain zip codes, etc, and some of them alter pricing depending on that metadata.

I don't know how you could bring that into the physical world successfully. But I always thought it would be cool if gas prices changed depending on the type of car you drove up in. Or if ATM fees changed based on how much money you have in your account.

It's basically the reverse of gouging people with low credit scores.
In the US, prevailing weather moves from west to east.

Moist air from the Pacific is immediately pushed up by the Rockies and rains out. Almost the entire US West is in the rain shadow, and very dry. Weather patterns pushing north from the Gulf of Mexico and passing over the Great Lakes restore normal rainfall roughly between the Mississippi River and the Appalachians. Since those are very old and weathered mountains, there is a very slight rain shadow to their east, and proximity to the coast evens it out shortly thereafter. Most of the deserts in the US Southwest only get rain from the monsoon thunderstorms from Gulf of California and Gulf of Mexico, because otherwise they're "behind" the mountains all the time.

Obviously, the oceans themselves don't have mountains that cast rain shadows. But they have warm and cold currents. Cold currents have a sort of shadow, because they evaporate less moisture into passing air masses. The warm/cold current split is why San Diego is dry while San Francisco is wet.

Scotland's winds blow over the Norwegian branch of the North Atlantic warm current, rain out over the highlands, and rain out a tiny bit less on the lowlands. The patterns are entirely predictable from orography and oceanic currents. All of Britain is warmer and wetter from the current, and Scotland is where all the mountains are.

Both effects come together at the Atacama Desert, because it's in the orographic rain shadow from the Andes and has a dry coast from a cold ocean current.

Even if the entire planet was covered in ocean, there would still be uneven rainfall patterns, as the circulation currents would be influenced by underwater ridges and seamounts, wind patterns, and seasons.
As a junior dev, I've appreciated small signs that other people in the office are looking out for me and my progress. This can be anything from regular one on ones with my direct manager, to other engineers asking if I have any questions when working in a new codebase. I'm the only junior in my office, so at first it was kind of horrifying asking questions and looking for help. Since other people have been more proactive in making sure I'm set up properly I've felt a lot more confident in taking steps on my own to figure things out and I think it's helped a lot.
They could name it Pandora Nexus.

Overused names are a pet peeve of mine. "Oh, your speechbot is named Jarvis? How original."

"Money is to Teen Boss what sex is to Cosmopolitan—the essential, irreplaceable, attention-getting hook. (On the cover of each edition, the dollar signs in “Teen Bo$$!” occupy the same prime real estate, in the upper-left corner, that the word “sex” does on most Cosmo covers.)"

Well encouraging young women to make money and work for financial independence is better than encouraging them to become sex objects, as many other mags targeting them do.

> will very frequently produce different results; I just ran that four times and got four different results. This is good, because it tends to bring bugs to the forefront more quickly, rather than having a almost-but-not-quite-deterministic model as has been the case in many other environments.

I concur, they do this with maps too. It led to discovering a bug in our system where order was being implicitly depended on via a JSON Object -> Map conversion. Go randomized the map key order when iterated over, revealing the logic bug.
I have a couple of photography colleagues who use the 50MP Canon 5Ds. The detail they gather is astounding, more than my 21.1MP can grab even with a teleconvertor on the lens. So they can shoot with shorter focal lengths, which means less weight and better stabilisation.

They can then go into post-processing and "crop the hell outta it" and still end up with more detail than my image.

It is a cliché but high-density sensors really are a "game changer". They give so much potential to reframe the photo after shooting, selecting the most relevant area of the frame and still having enough detail to blow-up to prints.

Piracy.

Or you work for an organization that has an Enterprise license.
I agree. Have these guys done any legal due diligence on any of this? Any lawyers care to chime in? I thought you couldn’t do this in many states without a money transmitter license.

Also, does this constitute financial advise? That’s also a big no no in the USA. The CoinTracker guys (current yc batch who make an app for tracking crypto) mentioned that as a reason for not offering a portfolio management product right out of the gate.

Also doesn’t stripes terms of service basically prohibit this? I bring this up because in the interview they say the following:

“What platform/tools do you use for your business?

Stripe for payments”

This is what Stripes TOS says:

“By registering with us, you are confirming that you will not use the Service to accept payments in connection with the following businesses, business activities or business practices.”

“Virtual currency that can be monetized, resold, or converted to physical or digital products and services or otherwise exit the virtual world (e.g., Bitcoin); sale of stored value or credits maintained, accepted and issued by anyone other than the seller
”

I think this is a cool idea, I’m just not sure if they are going about it in a compliant way. If they are doing the right thing they should stick a FAQ up on their launch page ASAP.

Assuming they are doing this legally I’d also love to know how they are handling taxes when they buy these 100 currencies. I.e when you buy alts using eth/btc that’s a taxable event. How do they factor that into the pricing.
Vue was originally released in 2014 according to Wikipedia, and as you say, it got popular in the past year or two. With this and all the stuff you mentioned, that's a lot of stuff happening in a small amount of time. That is not an environment to build a stable code base. Meanwhile, python changed one function in 7 years and everyone is complaining (print now needs parenthesis).
