International banks are happy to open USD denominated accounts if you're a business or a private customer with a bit more than just paychecks and bills coming and going. Then you can send and receive USD with no exchange fee.

If you need to spend it locally, you still need forex at some point — but that's a much more predictable proposition than going from the wildly volatile BTC to local currency.

The first (public) web app was a tool for managing large games of Assassin, which we used for about a week and a half to run a class-wide game until someone complained to his parents and the school shut us down. We probably could have finished it out, but once people get scared and start dropping out of an in-progress game, it's hard to keep going.

Why should I work here?

It's a forward question, but your time is valuable. If you are going to spend a large chunk of your foreseeable future working at a company, they should have a good answer to this question. If they hop around all awkwardly while trying to come up with an answer - next. I want to work with people who are excited by the work they do. Plain and simple.

Always remember, the interview goes both ways. Be sure to interview the interviewer.

I think a fairer interpretation of the situation is "Well, we have to rewrite and test all this code anyway, so the barrier to picking another language to go forward with is quite low right now."

I found out that my grandfather was a multimillionaire later in life as well, but I would never have guessed because he lives in an inconspicuous house in a middle class neighborhood and drives an inconspicuous car (Honda CR-V). He complains about milk and gas prices like most people and basically just doesn't telegraph his wealth at all (except by buying exclusively Wheaties as his breakfast cereal).

He grew up during the great depression though, so maybe that has something to do with his miserly ways.
Ha. I did this exact same thing for a project in college using echonest and linear regression. In the end, we were unable to find a single statistically significant coefficient. We ended up having to change our project completely. Kudos to your team for finding something there

That's not quite true; most of my colleagues with CS degrees work for non-tech companies in factories (doing really boring stuff, but still).

Webdev does seem to pay better than most other stuff, though.
I'd take issue on two points. First, "wallets' don't exist in the Bitcoin protocol. Second, the tool being used is not sophisticated enough to list the inputs and outputs, giving the false impression that something unusual is "unknown." Try this link to get details:

https://blockstream.info/tx/4410c8d14ff9f87ceeed1d65cb58e7c7...

There are numerous inputs and a single pay-to-script-hash (P2SH) output.

The relatively high fee is due in part to the large number of inputs. ~400 satoshis/byte is high by today's standard but not too unreasonable as early as 2017.

We can't tell anything about the identity of the owner(s) of the new coin from the block chain alone.

Making a transaction this large is a security risk. It effectively establishes a billion dollar bounty for any party who can rewrite enough blocks to erase it. Now that the value resides in a single coin, any subsequent transaction faces the same risk. Plunking this much value into a single coin seems like an odd strategy at best. Not to mention the destruction of privacy in combining all those inputs into a single transaction with a single output.

I can think of one reason you might want to do this. A consortium/trust has formed in which individuals pay into a common pool of money. That money is then protected with a multi signature script (consistent with the P2SH type). Given a threshold of signatures, the money can be spent, subject to other constraints. These will remain unknown until the first payment is made. At that point we'll know the number and identity of all the eligible keys and the threshold needed to make payment.

If so, this transaction can be thought of as a kind of digital charter for the consortium in that it defines how the money can be spent going forward.

Edit: to be clear, the "bounty" I'm talking about can't be directly claimed just by mining some blocks. Instead, it would have to be claimed as part of a double spend of either the transaction in question or as subsequent transaction of the now-enormous output. Most likely, there would be collusion of some kind between a miner and the owner of the keys. I'm not saying this will happen, but the bigger the transaction, the greater the risk.
Recently I ran into a Python script on GitHub that I couldn't get to run on 2 _or_ 3.

Both errors were familiar from earlier cases of trying to run with the wrong Python version, but I have no idea how the code managed to do that for both, and frankly it wasn't worth the effort to look into.
You can have both. Cloudflare has an IPFS gateway that you can use with a Cloudflare domain. Content hosted in IPFS and CDN-ed via Cloudflare's network. An IPFS-capable client will bypass Cloudflare via the dnslink entry.

This is of importance because it's core to Stellar's mission: https://www.stellar.org/foundation

The fact it's tied to a Keybase wallet is important because Stellar's path payments functionality was just launched on Keybase. To summarize, you can use Keybase to send someone any asset they'd like using any asset you're holding, all on Stellar's decentralized exchange. It happens transparently behind the scenes to convert assets: https://www.stellar.org/developers/horizon/reference/endpoin...

If it lends any credibility to you, Stellar was initially backed by Stripe in 2014:

Transaction costs limit how many people are in these chains. It’s far more common for individual merchants to be paying taxes to several groups vs large numbers of groups being involved in the trading.
A popcnt/test/jmp cycle should have roughly 4 cycles of latency: a test+jmp can be fused into one uop, and popcnt would be 3 cycles of latency. n&(n-1) == 0 would compile down into a DEC, TEST, JMP, which is 2 cycles of latency (again, test+jmp are fused into one uop), as dec is just 1 cycle of latency.

So n&(n-1) is faster for checking if it's a power of two.
My needs are pretty undemanding, but Netlify has been great for me. It’s hard to beat for both plain old HTML/JS/CSS pages as well as for generators like Hugo.
I think the key point is that the media outlets are not a reliable source of information. I can tell you that the big wireless providers are working hard to influence local governments to push their agendas. For example, one local non-profit that I know (that advocates for startups and tech in the city) received a sponsorship out of the blue from one of the big wireless companies. They gladly accepted the $7500. A few weeks after, the company was asking the non-profit to give them access to the City, Managers, advocate for 5g, etc. Essentially, they were acting as a lobby and tried to leverage the non-profit for this. Yeah, I know.....its how the system works. But just imagine that this wireless company is doling out $7500 to multiple organizations in every mid-sized city in America (this city is 200k population). It just tells you how important this initiative is to the wireless telcos.
For me, having run a slew of large Python code bases, 3.3 was the first 'useful' version to upgrade to as it re-enabled u"string" syntax. Without that, making 2/3 compatible code was hard.

3.5 fixed % formatting for bytes, further making 2/3 transitions easier (or harder, depending on your use/abuse of strings vs bytes).

3.6 added the first 'exciting' new feature: f"formatted string {literals}" if you don't have an asynchronous type project that can make good use of async/await.
It's the same in both cases.

You write a dirty mapping in memory. You persist the value, and you persist the mapping. Then you flip the dirty bit.
Probably not. If that guy could show he really had the bitcoin (dubious in itself) and was handing it over as part of a court settlement, that would be news.
That's assuming you would notice. I just linked my HN account to Keybase, then deleted the proof from my HN profile. The link doesn't seem to be revoked?

It seems like an attacker could do that, and I don't know when you'd first notice that your HN profile is linked to a Keybase account that doesn't belong to you? Particularly someone who doesn't use Keybase.

First - this will apply to HN users with a Keybase account who have opted in to the airdrop, not all HN users.

I am not a CPA, but I think there are two things involved here (for people in the US):

1. This is a gift, but the value of it (about $20 right now) is less than the gift tax threshold.
2. Lumens are probably (?) treated like bitcoin, which are treated like a security, not currency.

I think this means that yes, there are tax implications. You will be obligated to pay short- or long-term capital gains tax when you elect to 'sell' the Lumens, and the cost basis will be the fair market value of the Lumens on the day you receive them from SDF.

Again, not a CPA, tax lawyer, or anything like that.
History has shown that if code must be maintained by multiple different people over time, then consistency and predictability overrides abstraction and meta-ability. Legibility by actual readers trumps linguistic or symbolic parsimony.

Perhaps a Lisp shop could force consistency, but that seems to fall apart after a while.

1. You don't iterate over bytes in an integer, so you don't need to know the size of an int since all uses are handled by the compiler. If you do care, you can always find out with a sizeof check (or preferably specify the size directly). The compiler can't handle Unicode for you since it's typically dynamic data.

2. This is reasonable.

3. What about fixed-width fonts like a terminal screen. In this case, I care about how many distinct (non-combined) code points exist, and a count of code points is often a acceptable approximation.

That being said, when talking about string length, I mostly care when iterating and allocating memory, and those are two different usages of the term "length". I like how Go handles it: len(string) gives number of Unicode code points, len([]byte(string)) gives number of bytes.

Everything else is a special case IMO that shouldn't use length, except perhaps as a conservative estimate (e.g. fixed width rendering).
So the physical prediction is that I will never die, unlike the alternative physical prediction that I will die at some point. And therefore every second I remain alive is evidence for the MWI. If not having died before makes you think you're immortal more power to you. I don't find that reasonable.
Just out of curiosity, how do you imagine that would work in the real world?

Apple's main thing is security, and one important aspect of how they achieve it is by only allowing signed code, which Apple also does some basic tests on, to be installed on the device. Many think this is a valuable service.

In the third party App Store scenario, does the developer still submit an app to Apple for approval? How does Apple then make the approved app available to the third party? How is this different from a website that gives App recommendations?
There’s a lot of different veils to privacy in transactions.

There’s the IP record of the user hitting the server that processes their request (it might be your own box if you’re storing the whole chain yourself but most people use thin clients). Then there’s the list of inputs (cryptonote based currencies like monero use ring signatures which provide obfuscation but not binary privacy). Then there’s the list of outputs, which may be able to be linked to inputs revealing the transaction graph (zcash helps solve this with their circuit proving technology, but it’s limited in temporal scope by the fact that there’s a transition between transparent and hidden addresses). Then there’s the amounts of a given transaction (modern cryptocurrencies use range proofs to conceal the amounts but older currencies don’t).

To recap, there’s access information like IP, transaction information that can be used to reassemble the transaction graph, and balance information which, again, can be used to reassemble the transaction graph. The broad point is that if you can assemble the transaction graph, any additional information, like a list of known addresses, will severely deprecate the privacy of the entire system.

There are potentially ways around this, but they all involve breaking transaction linkability, which is fraught with peril for a variety of reasons (such that no currency has actually achieved this in a meaningful way so far).

It knows that in some way/shape/form the old address is associated with the new address, so most likely it is the same entity, or a transaction partner. Bitcoin is not supposed to be anonymous, and very unsuitable for use-cases where you want any kind of anonymity guarantee.

OK, but probably not. (Is "faggot" not actually a pejorative for gay in the UK?) But the question should at least be entertained.
Yep. It's happened to me as well. Based on the questions they were asking me in the interview and based on the folks who were interviewing me I got the impression I was going to be working on a certain technology very interesting to me. It took them a while to actually make the offer (2 months), by the time I started they indeed had me working on that interesting technology... but then about 2 weeks in it was like "There's been an urgent change, we now need to shift you over to working on some other [much less interesting set of tasks mostly involving writing documentation]." I figured, OK, this is just a temporary thing and after the urgent project blows over I'll get back to what they wanted me to work on originally. I'd often ask when I was getting back to work on the original project and they'd always hem and haw. Eventually it became clear that it was a bait&switch.

I'm one of the authors on the paper. This is a good point. I think the answer is "it might". In practice (as 'dalke' points out) the AVX2 approach still ends up faster on common Intel hardware with Turbo enabled, but there might be cases where it doesn't, and the measured degree of difference certainly might change with Turbo on or off.

Complicating things, some but not all AVX2 operations benefit from Turbo frequencies as well. It depends on other things on the exact mix of instructions. The technical term is "license", and regardless of the setting of Turbo you processor chooses a frequency depending on the license that the instruction mix allows. Daniel has a blog post (co-written with Travis) on how this affects AVX512, but it also affects AVX2: https://lemire.me/blog/2018/09/07/avx-512-when-and-how-to-us.... The specifics are not well documented, and Travis probably has the best understanding of the exact behavior of anyone I know.

Anyway, we turn Turbo off and try to run the processor at a constant frequency because it makes some of our other measurements more reliable, but yes, when making claims that a SIMD solution is faster than a scalar solution, we should probably be testing whether the conclusion holds even when we turn Turbo back on. I think it's still best practice to do most measurements with it off, but I'll try to remember to do an extra test with it turned of if comes up in future papers.

RIP Python 2: October 16, 2000 – January 1, 2020
There are more people on Earth than ever before. There is more media on Earth than ever before.

Because of the fact there are more people, there are many more developments. Places that were uninhabited now have large communities, infrastructure, etc. Weather that occurs in these places is going to create more damage than before. There is now more media to report on it.

So, yes perhaps there are more catastrophic weather events than before. Is climate change the reason for this? Or are there simply more things to be destroyed by weather than ever before? A combination of this?
