I would argue that they in fact are definitely a liability, but one which has been calculated to be worth it if you continue with the acquisition. Just because you buy a company doesn't mean their previous crimes should now magic-wanded away. It would be far too easy to take advantage of that. (If it wasn't clear, I'm agreeing with you 100%)

This could be a more recent change, but while I was working there in 2015 it was part of the hiring process to use your own laptop with Ubuntu, and that is how they would test compatibility with multiple devices. Heck, if I could run Arch Linux, I'd consider going back.
The Sony Xperia Touch ought to be able to do this. That's a nice projector-based touch system.

Possible application: interactive restaurant menus. Some places have tried handing out tablets, but you have to have someone hand them out and retrieve them. The system has a camera, so have it recognize open space on the table and people in seats. Present people with menus projected on unused table space. Plus you can offer customers games while they wait.

(Inevitably, someone will put in ads.)
Pragmatism and consistency over ideology.
No reason to change. Though I might try it on one of my Orange Pi's one day. Does sway support OpenGL ES 2.0?

EDIT: Actually I probably use a few things that would need to be modified to work, like screencast recording via some custom gst-launch command, that depend on X in a non-trivial way.
IIRC, Bank of America was told in no uncertain terms by Bernanke and Paulson that they were buying Merrill Lynch. It was a shot-gun wedding at a pivotal moment in the crisis.

I don't remember if JP Morgan had a gun to their head, but there was likely significant pressure. Combined with the fast pace of events and uncertain liability (the crimes were not all known), the purchase prices were very rough guesses.

I hesitate to say that it was unfair that BofA and JPM were punished for the sins of the banks they bailed out. For one thing, neither of them were exactly innocent. Secondly, 10 years on they're both doing really well. While it's great they both took one for the team, so to speak, it's not like either made a great sacrifice.
Sorry, I will be honest and say that there is nothing useful in what you have provided. I don't even think you understand the end user. You have replaced a single S-1 page with a bunch of links, and you don't even have the financial numbers. That's probably the biggest reason why people look at the S-1. Not including the S-1 financials means that you really don't understand the people who consume them, which is a red flag.

Replacing sections with separate links, and forcing you to click around doesn't make things better, it's actually unnecessary friction.
That's completely ridiculous, there are plenty of far more efficient and less convoluted means of committing genocide.
There's a huge market for musical software and instruments that are ultimately just games. I would guess more than 99% of any music equipment and software bought is never used to create commercially used music, which is fine - it's fun and interesting, and it's challenging to learn.

A clear example is everything made by [Teenage Engineering](https://teenage.engineering) - check out the OP-Z. The interface is completely weird in the age of hi-res screens, but I'm sure it's going to be a hit.

Another point is that in a creative process, sometimes the 'easiest' way to produce output causes all the output to be similar and uninteresting. When you change the rules, and make the creation process significantly different, you can sometimes see new results you wouldn't have expected.

Sorry for the late reply - part and labour from the official Apple store. Although prices can be as low as $30 for non-genuine ones. Obviously screen will be easier to crack if you don't take care of it but damn it's way cheaper.

18 APIs every developer should/need to know about
I work in the public sector in Denmark, and we’ve delt a lot with both IBM and Microsoft over the past 25 years.

Microsoft has been one of our best partners, including for the open source software we run, especially since Azure became their mission.

IBM has been one of the worst, so bad that I’d dread making any deals with them ever again.

I wouldn’t say MS is fully behind OSS though, they contribute a lot these years, but their main goal is still to sell you Azure. I think they won the hearts and minds with .Net core though, I mean VSC is the best ide and typescript is typescript, but the future of a lot of web programming lies within .Net core.
Ask HN: Biggest problems for game developers
Any game developers out here? What are the biggest issues you encounter with backend work pre and post game launch?
I'm actually kinda sad that VLAs didn't work out in general (they have been downgraded to an optional feature in the latest C standards). For all the downsides, they make working with matrices in C much easier.
It's generally also more reliable. In any sort of an org like setup, RHEL will be managed through Satellite. The new Satellite seems like a massive pain. The old one also had issues. Running centos compared to registering clients to satellite is a breadth of fresh air. Sometimes I wonder if RH creates complexity, and sells these overly complicated solutions to problems they create.
>That is a naive fallacy

No, I'm not claiming an essential difference, merly that they are optimized for different things.

>There is no such thing in existence.

Of course there is, machine code is designed for computers, higher level languges are designed for humans.

>Popularity and lack thereof isn't trivially driven by cosmetics.

I'm not talking about what drives popularity, but what drives cosmetics.

It is not ideal for managing servers without better supporting documentation, but engineering efforts would be pretty minimal to make it work well.
I dont think that's a good analogy. They've built their own cinema where everyone who enters agrees that they can talk during the movie. Those who disagree can continue to use their preferred cinemas with less interruption.

Surely it should be seen as a benefit for other websites that they have sequestered themselves off on their own domain?
I like "coaching" programs that promise to teach real-world skills. I enrolled in a SEO coaching program that probably made me back the money within a month.
Awesome, that's horrifying.

One concrete issue with this technique: it doesn't "loop". Meaning, for example, if initially method #3 doesn't work but method #4 does, it'll settle on method #4. If later, method #3 starts working, it won't switch it. Worse, if method #4 stops working, it'll just always fail.

I imagine this isn't an issue for rsync's use but could be a concern if applying it more generally.

There is a significant difference the way a person with PhD approaches unsolved problems vs a person without PhD.

A person with PhD will typically like to invest huge chunk of time to digest much of the prior art. They want to systematically understand what worked and what didn't in the past. They then bring in their unique understanding of small set of techniques/cross-domain expertise to combine with prior art to attack the problem. It is important for them to craft well designed experiments and lean on tools like mathematics to guide their next steps. Their goal is to make sure anonymous reviewers of their work are satisfied with proof they present of their hypothesis.

A person without PhD typically doesn't want to take a lot of time going through years worth of prior art. Their approach usually boils down to developing intuition via initial random search and then iterative experiments to strengthen intuition. If this doesn't work out over a period of time, they will probably want to move on to something else instead of keep creating next little insignificant bump of progress. The frame of mind is get to near-instant gratification as opposed to possibly spending all of your life in to something that wouldn't make any impact in real world but might build useful steps for future generations.

It is hard to say one approach is better than other for all classes of problem. However using the first approach requires certain training, rigor, discipline and, most importantly, frame of mind - we call PhD. It is only recently and in few fields like AI that research careers have become desirable from financial perspective. However in most of the fields, things are very different and you would rarely see anyone demanding to be theoretical mathematician or quantum physicist, for example, without a relevant PhD while also receiving modest income with no promotions or stock options.

However, it has become clear that for many advanced problems the random search approach typically maxes out quickly because search space becomes prohibitively large and developing correct intuitions requires climbing knowledge pyramids of epic proportions. For example, invention of transistors, GPS or techniques like initialization or dropout in deep learning wouldn't have been possible without PhD style multi-generation approach and concrete mathematical understanding.

Having said that, I'm against hard liners who create rules that being researcher requires PhD and one without it cannot innovate or do creative work. Many complex and most valuable innovations have been done by non-PhDs such as Faraday, Edison and Wright Brothers - interestingly in all of these cases people with academic degrees gloriously failed working on same turf, for longer time and better funding (Davy, Langley etc).
This would have been great. I've been tackling composer for a long time on a windows installation. Meanwhile something like PHP-my-admin has zero problems with releasing with dependencies in tack
The compelling usecase is censorship resistant financial transactions.

The fact that you have never been subject to financial censorship puts you in a priviledged position that you are fortunate to be in.

I am similarly priviledged in that I have never needed to use TOR, but I still recognize the extreme value of something like TOR brings for the billions of people in the world who live under oppressive, censoring governments.
But those AI programs that started this discussion would have teams of engineers to do that SW correctly.

One interpretation of science is just making theories and testing them with experiments, no solid software engineering required. Another says reproducibility is important but the current incentive structure is not there yet.

As compared with the trillion dollars worth of cheap real estate the public would have gotten had the banks been forced to liquidate all their holdings at the same time at massive losses.
The fact that prohibited drugs are nevertheless so widespread, that it is trivial to get access to them if you want to, is prima facie evidence that prohibition doesn't work. Opiates (and other drugs) are already for sale on every corner. I don't see any evidence that'd demonstrate that their legality or illegality matters one bit. From the buyer's perspective, it doesn't matter because the likelihood of enforcement affecting you is extremely low (and consequently, risk/benefit ratio is so low, the risk just gets ignored). From the seller's perspective, the extra risk of an illegal activity just gets factored into the price.
I have heard that this advice is given for news, and I think that this is unfortunate.

"Show, don't tell" is not necessarily appropriate in news. News and writing for entertainment serve such radically different goals that it's worth carefully considering to what extent the same methods and models fit both.

When someone reads creative writing, they derive enjoyment from the mental reconstruction of the scene, the characters' intentions, etc. The writer may want the story to afford multiple interpretations and reward multiple readings.

But with news, the reader often just wants information. They may not be able to devote their full attention to the story, and they may lack the necessary contextual information to connect the dots you have laid out before them. The reliable transmission of information is more important than stimulating or entertaining the reader.
To make it more Borgesian for you, I have been baffled by the fact that the author of Automata Theory, Matthew Simon, has left almost no traces on Google besides this book and one other book called Emergent Computation, which is similarly eccentric. (Browsing it now, I came across a weird quote about Pope Clement and self-flagellation, then it's right back to automata theory again).

Could it be that he wrote under a pen name?

No, it's not fraud because there's no intention to gain illegal or unlawful gain. It's just deceit.

That's a little bit backwards. Ceph's block storage is actually built upon objects internally.
Ruby Ridge

In what way do you consider the Weavers to have "been radicalized"?
I do a simplified version of it:

1. Search for the name of software on Google.

2. See if something looking like a site for the product shows up.

3a. If a product site shows up, I take a careful look around, and if it feels legit, I manually find the download link and use it.

3b. If a SourceForge link shows up, I proceed to the download. This is rare, but some program authors don't bother setting up their own sites, and I'm yet to see a malicious SF repo.

This is less secure than your procedure, but worked well enough so far.
I don't get this, is the data stored client-side or server-side?

If it's client-side, why would I need a service provider:

$15.3B is, what, 2.19% ROI? Do you know what else could have been done with an investment of $700B in government outlay in the same period?

The Fed funds rate is being raised on the backs of long-term investors who are forced to suffer interest-rate risk, bar the ones who got out in time of course with sufficient inside information -- guess who those are. This is just the flip side of the Fed funds rate being kept low on the backs of short-term investors in prior years. If you were in short-term investment until recently and began investing as the economy got better -- all very rational, risk-averse behavior -- or were just beginning to accumulate savings, you just got screwed twice. You'll get screwed a third time when the next financial crisis hits. We're all literally still paying for the banks' last mistakes, and will continue to do so for many years to come.

And yeah, your chart [2] conveniently ends at 2017-01-01 just after the time when interest rates troughed. This is also with the backdrop of a relatively strong GDP and not considering the increasing fiscal load being shunted to the state and local levels. The fiscal situation is not good and the only thing propping it up is dollar seigniorage, which, let's be honest, is necessarily going to end at the worst moment when you most need it.
If you want to mail order in my country you have to go to a voting place and go through the regular process. Exactly to prevent forced voting.

We set these up at libraries and other muniplacity buildings that already offer citizen things (English is my third language sorry).

We also have voting busses that go to low voting neighbourshoods and we obviously setup voting in nursing homes, hospitals and such.

But the process is always you, alone in the booth, with a piece of paper. Unless you have a physical handicap, then two officials will help you vote.

Taking a photo of your ballot is illegal, but as you say, it’s impossibil to enforce. You do have options though, we use pencils in the booth and you can always ask for a replacement ballot until your vote is cast. So you could technically take a photo and still vote another way.

You are seemingly arguing that you have insider information that they are buying coins because you happen to know people 'with skin in the game.' That's a hard argument to buy with such a claim and no evidence. And don't get me wrong since I actually thought it was interesting that they would be buying the coins so I'm not even trying to disprove you. You're just not making a solid case.

Second, referring to everyone else that buys coins as 'basement-dwelling kids' is pretty disingenuous and insulting. Middle class people have purchased them. Grandparents have purchased them. Average people have purchased them. Billionaires have purchased them. Snoop Dog, Ashton Kutcher, Gwyneth Paltrow, and many more celebs have purchased them.

You have stated that you can't buy coins at that level (presumably the Fidelity level) the same way you would purchase them off Coinbase, but your example is that they're seeking out people who mined significant quantities of coins years ago. How did they find these people from a bitcoin address? What's the evidence of this? Why do these people have problems selling their coins on Coinbase?

Your arguments about fake cryptocurriences basically boil down to other coins are not exactly Bitcoin so they're something you consider fake. Other coins however are currencies since you can exchange them for things as has happened with many types of coins other than Bitcoin. They might not be as popular but they still can do the same things for the most part.

I don't understand your third point. It doesn't seem here or there.

Someone could certainly create a new coin anonymously. I'm not sure why you think that's not possible. A throw-away email address, a github account paid with a pre-paid card, and some nodes hosted anonymously with the same card and voila you've got yourself a new cloned coin made by someone you don't know.

I don't think your argument that Bitcoin is the only one that satisfies points 1-3 holds water since those points themselves don't seem to hold water either. (And you should check out Litecoin and Ethereum which both do all of the things that Bitcoin does)

I'll be frank and say I still don't understand your last paragraph about the quotes. I now understand that you're not American but you seem to be implying something about American English being different than English elsewhere and using the way Ireland is pronounced doesn't seem to support that. No worries here though... it's not significant so no need for us to waste any more time on it.
Disclosure is what happens all the time. I havent really heard of a recent or distant event where it was the norm to not disclose SEC actions. (barring some privacy clause or agreement reached via settlement)

Most likely, and I say this as an opinion, several of the banks they bought in 2008 were restricted from expanding until their house was in order.

These moves were, with 100% certainty, would have been announced and published at inception.

And no, the meaning of "financial disaster" is VERY different depending on which side of Fin services you stand on.

To many banks and bankers, the debacle is a failure of market participants - the cost of living in such exalted times. More regulation would only hamper future efficiency and delicious growth to shareholders.

For main street, this was a watershed moment where they saw that banks were a force unto themselves.

Their market niche so critical, that letting them continue more necessary than justice - overturning a basic tenet of American expectations (bad firms fail, merit rises).

"too big to fail", is the shadow of "too big to care".

Main street does not read Bloomberg or WSJ, so they tailor their articles to their audience's bias.
Just remove the `static` keyword and there you go.

But it's an "optimization", and avoiding previously attempted methods is the whole point of the trick. Otherwise it would be an easy and uninteresting function.
Tooling is a blip on the radar of the cost of the designs I work on. Verification is usually the most expensive aspect. 10x tooling even if the tools were purchased for, that project alone, which would be very unusual.

However, for open source to flourish, high quality open source simulators are required. I think if we had that, synthesis and place&route would follow. You don't need synthesis or par to do design and verification, but you do need simulation.

I look into the state of OS simulators periodically. Some are impressive, but mostly just handle the design basics... an OS systemverilog, static and dynamic, simulator would be a game changer.

It's a Herculean task though. I don't know how much Xilinx makes off tooling. I have to think they would make more from FPGA sales if tooling were free, and if it were open source, it would no doubt be improved upon by degrees I can only fantasize about.

Simulators, and by extension synthesis and place & route tools, are complementary goods to FPGA hardware. Make your complementary goods cheap, and you make a lot of money.

But there are tool companies out there such as Mentor and Synopsys that make a lot of money from such proprietary tooling. I imagine simulators have a tough patent field to navigate.
