This is a nice and more technically accurate definition but i don’t believe it’s at all found in the wild, which mitigates its usefulness. I think the bound in the common usage is in the sense of destination rather than limit, ie, bound for an i/o subsystem whether under local control or not. This then implies the local actor entering the ‘blocked’ state that you mention, during which time the local actor is free in principle to do something else.

In short I think I/O bound is a concise way of saying that this work will leave my concern and will pass back into it at some later time.
For sure! I would much rather work at a politically neutral company.
Ask HN: Domain Registration Event Stream
IIRC there was a post on HN a few years ago about the initiative of Google (?) and a few registrars to provide a real-time stream of new domain registration events.

Substantially a websocket that you can subscribe to using an API key, and then watch for new registration events. That was part of some initiative to fight scam and botnets that register nonsensical domain names by thousands.

Does that ring any bell, anyone?

Sure, my holistic service is possibly bound by compute in some fashion on the SQL host, but what is claimed is that the process/host that is issuing those queries to the db isn't compute bound -- it spends the majority of its time waiting for input (from the db).
It's interesting seeing people get upset at this. I'm a felon - and this makes sense to me. It's your business, you should choose who works for you.

While it's illegal in the US for most places to outright not hire you solely because you're a felon, you'll have a hard time actually proving that.

If you go by the numbers, felons are more likely to break the law again than folks that aren't felons. You can argue up and down the _why_ around this, but that's the numbers.

I'm not saying I agree with it, but it's your right to hold your opinion and run your business in a way you see fit.
What if one race really is superior or inferior to another? For example "Tibetans are better at surviving at high altitudes than Han Chinese" Fact but racist according to that definition. Harsh consequences for scientists talking about their work?
the fact that looping through a process is a tail call which by its very nature creates well-defined boundaries (both in "code segment" and in "data segment") also helps a gazillion. Try doing hot loading in the middle of a while loop... Not saying it's impossible, but you're not gonna have a good time.

You don't need "Top of the Line" anything, you just need to avoid random junk. Micro-USB isn't much better in this regard. The cheaper cables charge slower and have slower data transfer rates.

The big difference here is many USB-C devices need a lot more power, so when you buy a crappy cable, it's a lot more of an issue.
>Charge interest on late payments?

This is an important one, as is a clause in your contract that will force them to pay legal fees in the event you have to sue to get them to pay.

>Don’t work until payment is made?

I'm a fan of arrangements where clients pay something up front, then receive work, then pay the rest. No client in their right mind is going to pay the whole amount up front and frankly nor should they. But, if they pay 50% up front, you do work, and then they decide to stiff you for the final payment, you'd better have a good lawyer and a tight contract.

And that humans can do that is one of our big evolutionary breakthroughs.

Apes can only really learn from what they experience themselves. Teaching involves some other ape guiding them through the act, at best. Humans can learn from other humans (or their artefacts like books and films etc), even when the activity in question is not performed.

(There might be some of that learning with some apes. There's some with crows. But it's not nearly as prevalent as with humans.)

Ha - I had a few similar experiences. Shortly after I was released, I went to a temp agency. From the get-go I told them I was a felon. No problem, they said. Within a week I'm placed at a greeting card manufacturing plant.

During lunch, I pop my head in the manager's office, and let them know how thankful I am for the position. I'm excited to have the opportunity. Manager never had someone do that before.

Later on that afternoon I got a called in to that manager's office. Change of plans, no need to come in again. I could collect my things (what things? First day.) and go.

Getting a gig in a security context is going to be hard. While most places can't openly not hire you due only to you being a felon, that's how it's going to be. It's not great, but that's how it is.
I always find my biggest learning breakthroughs are when i'm left alone to do something.

My thoughts exactly.

This ruling is limited to the jurisdiction of this court (i.e. the US). They can demand that Snowden not profit of his book in other countries, but they can't enforce their demands in those contries unless they countries agree (or are /made/ to agree) to submit to the jurisdiction of a foreign court.

What I find most interesting is the system for attributing online credibility to both experts and non-experts by history of prediction performance.

Prediction markets also typically use money to incentive people not to make garbage bets, but by having web credibility be the stakes, the conversation of bad incentives for bad events is a little more distant.

I almost wonder if this has to do with the fact that you specialize in security. Because of the gray line a lot tech security specialist walk, its the de facto standard to run a background check and turn down an employee for even a sneeze or low credit score.

Local news has been destroyed. The newspapers who used to send a reporter to every municipal meeting no longer exist. (Well, there may be papers with the same names, but their new owners only budget enough for wire service reprints.) Other media has not stepped up to fill the role.

So 4/26 athletes had elongated T2, in an uncontrolled study, with no pre-exposure baseline measures.

This is one-half step above meaningless. The only argument they have is that the other 22 athletes had a mean T2 of 51, vs 59 for the four in question. The highest reported “abnormal” time is 63ms. The others are 55, 59 and 61ms.

Here is the first set of slides I found for topic from a presentation by a doctor at Columbia University. Slide 14 shows the distributions of T2 times for several control and disease groups. You’ll note that the control group runs from 50-61ms:

It depends on where you draw the lines around your boxes.

The whole system together is CPU bound. But the individual part might be 'IO bound'.
Careful with the trick statistics. If you're ranking the size of groups, the result heavily depends on how you define the groups. That "4th largest" makes no sense because the 3 above it aren't broken down the same way and should really be split into 5 groups for consistency. Then there's the fact that the USA is the 3rd largest country by population so it should be weighted by population. It's a complete fail of a statistic obviously designed to shock without informing.

I don’t doubt they’re working on something interesting, but if I was developing something like that, the last thing I’d do is call it an iPhone-killer. That raises the stakes in a way that I don’t think serves any new project well, other than attracting short-term attention.

Another less biased way of looking at it is that this was the easiest option to pursue. Even if they could stop publication in the US somehow, it would still only apply in the US. And it's not like grandma is going to pickup this book in the store. People who are interested will get it, either online, as PDF or order it from another country. There is literally no way to prevent publication world-wide.

However, US will probably be a big market and there might be repercussions throughout other countries through political pressure to also collect the proceeds or even ban the book.

On the other hand, I also find it curious why Snowden would sell this book to begin with. Kinda undermines his credibility. He is earning a shitload of money through his talks already and the book is essentially a chronicle of a crime he committed. Seems "morally interesting" that he wants to monetize it like that. On the other hand, who cares about morals, but then its just a tad hypocritical.
Statistically, it does.

BitMEX is the best, most reputable, and most secure crypto derivatives exchange. Their fees are -0.025% (maker) and 0.075% (taker), practically the lowest on the market.

They have never been hacked. They actively work to track and stop hacked proceeds from being deposited on their platform; and they do a better job at it than most regulated exchanges. (The complaint alleges one instance of a miss; but just look at the FinCEN leaks to understand how it's impossible to get everything).

3 of the founders live in jurisdictions w/o extradition treaties to the USA, so I hope they will be able to continue operating the best bitcoin exchange.

At the level where the overhead from it exceeds the benefits of componentizing. It's a subjective judgment, sure, but that doesn't make it any less real.

In particular, if something is never going to be re-used, what's the point of componentizing it?

I've definitely seen it referred to as IO bound when an upstream server just can't get your input fast enough, whether that's because you've maxed out the medium (e.g. you're bound by a 10/100/1000 Mbit link), or bound by how fast the disks can serve up bits, to downstream it's generally encountered as the same thing, the ability to process IO faster than it's available.

> which usually, with most photos, is to losslessly convey the experience of looking at the subject of the photo, as it looked at the place and time the photo was taken.

That’s quite a strong statement, and one that I think many photographers would disagree with.

Snapshots aside, this severely understates the artistic choices a photographer makes. For one thing, black & white and color read very differently to the eye, and offer different palettes for composition (although it’s not about photography, Scott McCloud’s “Understanding Comics” has a great exploration of the effects of b&w vs color and is a fun read to boot). Basically all b&w cinematography also gives the lie to this statement: it’s impossible to honestly argue that a colorization of, say, the stark expressionism of Night of the Hunter would be a repaired version.

The extent to which a photo is, or is even intended to be, a representation of “primary-source ground truth” is something we’ve been arguing since, like, Edward Said. I’m not saying images should never be colorized, or upscaled, or whatever. Obviously that’s not the case. Peter Jackson’s WWI documentary, as another poster mentioned, is a triumph. But it’s too complicated a conversation to dismiss by declaring, in one sentence like Moses coming down from the mountain, that the purpose of photography is the “lossless communication of information”.

The complaint is factually incorrect. I visited BitMEX while on a holiday trip to the USA. Immediately I got a notice of account closure, banning me from trading and telling me to withdraw my funds in 7 days.

I petitioned support and was unable to get my account restored.

--

It's impossible to monitor EVERY single hack in the crypto space, but BitMEX has actively worked to do their best to track and freeze hack funds.

Their customer service is incredible, when I had an issue with their API, I got a direct response from the CTO fixing my code for me, within the same hour.

When I had a dispute with instrument methodology, one of the founders got back to me in the same day, explaining why.

It has never been hacked or suffered a serious security breach. The only thing I remember was a one-time accidental CC instead of BCC in the newsletter program.
Same. I found MobX to be easier to reason about than Redux. I'd really like to give MST (mobx-state-tree) a closer look, too. MWeststrate is a "gentle giant" of sorts, and the idea of leveraging his more-opinionated framework resonates.

> Well, you've implemented let* :

I think this should just be plain let.

If I do:

(syntax-rules ()
[(_ ((x e) ...) b1 b2 ...)
((lambda (x ...) b1 b2 ...) e ...)]))

And then try:

(let- ((a 2) (b a)) (+ a b))

I get:

This doesn't use real money? Just worthless "points"?

If it doesn't use real money the predictions will be garbage.

"Why do you have to use real money?"

Prediction markets work best when players have some stake, however small, in the outcome. With play money, many players take risks they wouldn’t otherwise take or don’t attend to their holdings as carefully. Such markets may therefore have less research value than real money ones. Besides, we think real money is fun too.

The business itself is not illegal. It is illegal to offer those services to US customers, and they have no KYC verification so it is trivially easy to trade on BitMEX from the US.
The idea that today's languages and technologies are truly better than the past is laughable,

That's really orthogonal to the discussion, though. This isn't about general superiority, it's about legibility and barriers to understanding/skill due to syntax and keywords. Perl is infamous for the "code golf is the default style" syntax, keywords, and tokens it employs in this context, and in my experience at least its most ardent fans believe it is a badge of honor.

It isn't, really, and it's the same mistake PG makes when discussing "car", "cons" and the like.
