Could you elaborate on what he does and how it all works out? Sounds pretty fascinating, does he use Mt Gox or something else to convert to more recognized fiats?

Does he (and you) have a backup plan in case things don't work out as planned with Bitcoin?
This is dwelling into philosophy, but some argue that the universe is deterministic. With absolute knowledge of every particle in the universe, you could predict the entire course of everything that would happen in the future.

Actually, this is impossible. There's an elegant proof of this statement based on Cantor's diagonalization argument which shows that the computational device required to perform such an analysis cannot exist in the universe, via contradiction.
I recommend finishing the level. Funny ending
It sounds like a very poor description of hidden variable theory[1]. Hidden variable theory hasn't been in favor in a very long time, nor is it "beyond comprehension." In fact, I really hate the phrase "beyond comprehension" applied to almost anything because it has a tendency to mystify science, which can always be comprehended and expressed in the language of mathematics.

Thank you for suggesting good code to read, so many comments like this just leave people hanging. :)

I know great C code to suggest, but draw a blank when it comes to Lisp macros done right.
I agree with most of what you said so I'm sorry to nitpick.

The distinction between "complaining" and "doing" doesn't make any sense to me. The OA's intention is to change the way people innovate. This isn't something he can be "doing" in his basement by himself. If he wants the world to be a certain way he can't just _make_ it that way. At some point he's going to have to persuade other people and "complaining" on the internet is a fine place for it.
Interesting, but I find it a little strange that they cherry-picked MIT. There's nothing wrong with MIT, but why did Google feel the need to publicly recognize them above others? Will they write the same article when Stanford, Berkeley, or Carnegie Mellon hold certain birthdays?
If this is true this might be the breaking point for the iOS Kindle app. It's not hard for me to imagine that an Amazon Android tablet will push Apple to boot the Kindle off their platform.
(from India), This is the first movie i am going to watch now.
Thanks jff.
It was much easier to teach "secure" password storage using hashed (because usually at this point you understood simple hashing but not enough about good cryptography).

Also when much of this started we didn't have hardware that could brute and entire database of hashes within hours.

Lastly, laziness.
Which is in turn a reference to some guy yelling out "I'm old greeeeegg" across the crowd at Glastonbury. Funny how that crazed party tripper has, in his little way, affected all of our lives.
You may be right. But I'm not quite getting you. How bit.ly or http://bit.ly/dfMsd will allow companies to scan content or brand links
RISC vs. CISC boils down to CPU Designers vs. Compiler in terms of where the low level optimization happens.

One of the big arguments for RISC, as I am familiar with it, is that it allows the entire processor team to focus on making just a few instructions as fast as physically possible, rather than dealing with the truckload of instructions we have in a modern CISC processor. Or, perhaps in the ARM case, as efficient as physically possible.
Automatic detection of which bits are quoted sounds good.

Having just gone through the process of setting up a VPS to handle sending and receiving email, processing bounces and recording delivery receipts I'd say that, fundamentally, this isn't challenging.

Then again I've also setup my own SMPP server for sending SMS and didn't find that particularly difficult either :)

Some of the inbound processing features sound pretty good - how about offering them as a paid-per-transaction service? I wouldn't bother outsourcing the sending and receiving per se because it's cheap and easy to do that myself, and I then have control over the up (or down!) time but being able to pass a message through your service and pay, say, $1 per 1000 messages processed with no storage costs would be kinda cool.

I'm imagining getting back some kind of structured document (XML and/or JSON) allowing me to see quoted messages, interleaved replies, attachments, encoding blah blah basically all that stuff you're talking about.

I've met Ben a few times in New York City. He's a very level-headed, honest guy. This blog post speaks wonders about his character. We need more people like Ben in our industry and fewer people that write blog posts trying to blow smoke up their own ass.
This is literally the greatest service I have come across. Honestly, it was like a godsend, all day I was studying on all these little details required to having a solid, protected, non-blacklisted, works on ec2, stable, spam-free, e-mail server.

After hours of configuring postfix and looking at files I never wanted to even know about I took a break on HN.

Then I saw Mailgun, boom.. problem solved. (With more bells and whistles then I even imagined)

I've now saved part of my life thanks to this product.

Even chatted with one of their dev's who is extremely helpful. This is the kind of company I would want to invest in.
Honestly just to add, I like this product so much that i've considered porting their helper libs to every language they don't already cover.
I've heard of some alternate firmware for cameras. I even used it to automatically take a picture every 30 seconds when sending the camera on a weather balloon.
All I see is down votes. Does anyone have logic to explain the reasoning or does only the fact that you disagree count?

This is not what I've come to believe the HN community is about.

P.S. The max neg number I have is -2 since you can't see the specifics.

Edit: Now (9:50 PM PST) neg 3, no logical response, however.
Hybrid Pips Review
Hybrid Pips Review
Would love to see an iPod touch competitor or an unlocked android phone I can use for dev/testing
Neat idea, but it seems to me that you absolutely must hide the backup key on your property for this to be safe. There are way too many points of failure between the phone and lock.

Why not have the phone talk to the lock through the local wifi? Or put a wifi/bluetooth radio right in the lock? That should be more dependable and faster. Is that what you are talking about here?

"if you would like to access Lockitron only via your local network, then we welcome you to flash your base-station with a new image that gives you full access to develop as you see fit (coming soon)"

Or, you could communicate via QR code on the screen, using a camera in the door (that doubles as a remote peephole).

Or, you could encode the data as high-frequency sound and use the speaker/mic for two-way comm.

There are all sorts of possibilities that beat going over the internet.
Regarding tzs's system - it fails in two particular aspects: Web-based upload of files and adding a new hash/key to the database encrypted with your password.

Well, fails in that the current operation of Dropbox was a clue that they were not employing anything like tzs's system.

Web-based upload would have required three time/CPU intensive steps: Hashing the contents of the file to create the related encryption key, encrypting the file with said key, then re-hashing the file to get the new "fingerprint" of the encrypted version.

The reason this would all be required is that Dropbox is not only worried about deduplication for storage - they're worried about it for bandwidth saving. When you upload a file to Dropbox that they've "seen", they give you instant upload credit for it and skip the entire process (which users enjoy for the speed and they enjoy for the pocketbook in bandwidth savings).

With an appropriate hash and a block ciper choice, yes, they could do this without creating a client-side duplicate/encrypted file. They could do it as they go (hash the entire file, start encrypting it into a short buffer, then start hashing the buffer) - but if they're not storing a duplicate/encrypted copy locally, they're going to have to re-encrypt it as they go (again) during the upload phase.

So that's: One hash for the key, one encrypt + rehash for the fingerprint, then one more re-encrypt for the upload.

... and then you would run into the other problem I mentioned - where you also have to download the remote database, decrypt it locally, add your new entry to it, then re-upload the encrypted version. All from the web client.

Considering how quickly the upload starts - it's pretty obvious they're doing nothing even remotely like this.

(I understand that we know for a fact Dropbox has access to the files on their servers - I just wanted to expand on the proof that, based on how they were operating, that they couldn't possibly not have access. But then, I've been saying this all along.)
I've written production code in that peak zone.

On indeed.com job search for Seattle most welders seem to earn around $30k per year. Denver seems to be closer to $20K/anum. Not exactly indicative of a shortage driving the price up.

It's a cool story and ole Mike sure has a purty smile. But this strikes me as a bit of PR for Dirty Jobs.
Hi,

Yeah, you are right. I thought I would ask since I'm always on the lookout for a fresh magic bullet :-)

I know Ruby/Rails, PHP, Python, Javascript, Java, Scala, Clojure, C, and C++.
All languages require an investment in some kind of framework in order to pull
off a real site.

As bad as it sounds, I'll probably just go with PHP and mongo for now because I already
have an easy setup for that.
I'm not sure this is such a problem for tech startups. The history of internet startups has shown that, so far, the same general ideas work in many different markets and adapt for each.
Alternatively they could make the web client only semi-secure in that the server has access to your files until you log out.
Simply down-voting without an argument doesn't strengthen your position. It makes you seem without argument.

It's not going to happen unless an attack is discovered on the hash algorithm, and even they they'll need to know the hash of your file. And it's still not going to replace the version you have on your computer; only fresh downloads from dropbox will be wrong.

Consultants.
"But, seriously, if fifty awesome people knocked on the door, we’d hire them all. We don’t hire to specific positions, we hire to standards."

This is how Andrew Carnegie ran his companies. He didn't hire when he needed employees, he hired when he found someone worth hiring. And then he would find them a job to do.

It's interesting to see this particular hiring strategy applied in companies with such extraordinarily different structures otherwise.
My guess is only MIT and Stanford would warrant this treatment, MIT because of its association with technology and position as one of the pre-eminent STEM universities in the world, and Stanford because it was Google's birthplace. Stanford's next significant birthday is its 150th in 2041; perhaps you'll see a similar tribute then.
Mining pool (http://deepbit.net). Yes, mtgox for now, though i hope that in a year or two i will be able to pay my rent with it directly :)

Currently the growth is exponential, so it takes time to scale it.

For me it's a side project, though it's becoming a large part of my income. If bitcoins fail - no big deal, just move on.
Google is still the default search provider for iOS, isn't it?
Perhaps the downvotes are because your answer really doesn't give a solution. Sending everyone you deem "weak" to a leper colony is not viable. You can't break-up with your child if they are ill with either a typical childhood illness or worse, a chronic condition like, for example a bee allergy, asthma, childhood cancer, celiac disease, crohn's disease, etc...

I assumed that was your line of reasoning but probably is a big word here. I don't think it's something you can really know in that it's finding proof in a negative, such as when a doctor says to a patient, "The tests didn't find cancer -- you're cancer free!"

If Larry and Sergey had done their post-graduate work in Moldova, the world wouldn't have Google. (Remember they shopped Page Rank to places like Yahoo, who didn't want it. As an idea, no one believed in it.) The connections at Stanford gave them access to capital which they otherwise would not have had, which allowed them to prove the concept. Without that funding, Page Rank would be just another dissertation.
One could find it ironic that such a morally conservative state produces such exploitative business and political practices.
url shortener are useful for any time you need to send a link in text form. Most sites are terrible at making good urls, and tend to make them huge and complicated. URL shortener help with that.
url shorteners are also fairly bad for the web and should be avoided in all cases where you have another option.
Using scribd because some of your readers use Adobe Reader is the same kind of shortsighted non-solution as not using CSS2 because some of your readers use IE6: It makes things worse for anybody who uses Chrome, Safari, Foxit Reader or some other lightweight PDF plugin, or OS X which has Preview.app.

Instead, you should just offer the PDF for download, and alongside it include links to some of the alternatives than can permanently relieve you of Adobe Reader.
They used to call lightbulbs, airplanes, and combustion engines "fluff". Don't make the mistake of assuming that you can see all ends...

Review of the 2011 Data Scientist Summit

At the risk of unpopularity, let me be the devils advocate here.

Warning: I am going to support 41 M investment in Color and will point out some odd issues with the way Ph.D./University research is funded.

What is the ideal environment for innovation? Give some hard problems to smart people, give them enough time and money to solve them. At the end even if the effort fails one learns what does not work. I feel that the people at Color Inc. have this sort of freedom with a committed 41M funding. No? Do you think all they will do with this freedom is just photo sharing? I doubt.

On the other hand, innovation gets stiffed by short term targets/pressures. It gets stiffed when you need your research proposals to go through a large peer review committee (at NIH or NSF). Why? Most innovative but unproven ideas are killed right there. Feature prominent people as co-investigators or consultants and your chance of funding greatly increases. Of course, this system is still better than in many other countries, but there is some room for improvement.

If you're not trolling (and I'm not sure you're not), a bit of friendly advice.

Girls have biological clocks.

The girls your age - their clocks started ticking as soon as you start growing stubble, and they stop ticking, oh, between 5 and 15 years from now. Once that clock is done, you're not having kids with them, no matter how filthy rich you've become.

The way I see it, if you're at all serious about having kids, you have two options:

a) Freeze some of your boys just in case things get wonky in your old age. (No, seriously, you should do this.) Then, be aware that the longer it takes you to hit that big jackpot, the bigger that jackpot will have to be to attract a girl so much younger than you that she can have your kid.

b) Have a kid now, and don't sweat all of this stuff so much.

It's not really any of my business, but you can guess which one I think is more likely to make you (or at least me, in your shoes) happy.
