Unacceptable maybe, but what do you expect? No one really knows if there can be legal consequences to running an unregulated commodity exchange, and the operators of mtgox face considerable risk and charge VERY reasonable fees, which still allow them to do quite well I'm sure. It's not their fault really that they lack necessary funds to prevent such attacks, an I applaud them for just keeping data safe so far.

Anyone else is free to open up a competing exchange but it's such uncharted territory (mainly legally) that the risk outweighs the reward.

Bitcoins are in their infancy, remember. How they will ultimately be used, exchanged and valued has yet to be determined, and early adapters on all fronts are just going to have to deal with these things.

Edit: Just to add to this, during the last two attacks the guy that runs mtgox was in the bitcoin IRC channel working on the problem and giving people updates in real time. Both were fixed in a relatively timely manner (it's back up now). You really just can't ask for more from such a small operation.
"Overlapping architecture" is not the same thing as "same network." They might just mean that the two networks are built out of the same brands of hardware and same versions of the same software, which gives them similar vulnerability profiles.

Your problem are irrationally high expectations. Most of us suffer from naive optimism and that is a great motivator, a harmless one if we use it to fuel our enthusiasm while working late at night. The problem arises when dehydration makes you see an Oasis everywhere, when you become delusional. We humans suck at calculating expected value, particularly when there are huge outcomes with very very very tiny probabilities. That's why so many people play the lottery and that's what you're doing: playing the lottery, and there's nothing you can do to win it. Even with your perseverance and focus, with your knowledge and hard work, if you win it you are just very lucky. On the other hand, there's a lot you can do to be happy. With your youth, your wife, your intelligence, and your hard work, if you don't reach a state of emotional satisfaction then you are very unlucky.

My advice to you would be to define your threshold of success as something you can control. Focus on your surroundings. Get one client and satisfy him. Don't do it for money but for the pleasure of having an impact on somebody else. You can be your first client too; in fact, that's what we did when we built Spottiness: it's for us, we do what we can, we are nobodies and we don't care.
^ I too recommend Camus, 'A Happy Death' as well as 'The Myth of Sisyphus.' I'd also read Milan Kundera's novels- although they are much less nihilistic than Camus it still deals with the futility of life, love, and society etc.

Sony has just never got the hang of digital. They used to have great radios, TVs, and decent audio equipment. You young'uns probably don't remember the Walkman but it was revolutionary. It was a highly portable cassette player, basically the ipod of its day. It's been downhill for Sony since then. To wit:

Beautiful. Thank you. When discussing privacy issues, I've been trying to find a good response to, "As long as you're not doing anything wrong, you have nothing to worry about."

This is the best answer I've seen.

It's our responsibility as citizens to keep the gov't in line, though somehow we have been convinced that it is strictly the opposite. The more we share about our lives, the easier it is for various organizations to silence what they don't like.

¿Why would the government throw the body away and not provide it as evidence?

https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Adolf_Eichman...

Shortly after the execution, Eichmann's body was cremated in a specially designed furnace. The furnace was so hot that no one dared to go near it, and a stretcher on tracks was used to place the body into it. The next morning, June 1, his ashes were scattered at sea over the Mediterranean, beyond the territorial waters of Israel by an Israeli Navy patrol boat. This was to ensure that there could be no future memorial and that no country would serve as his final resting place
Bin Laden's Dead: Why It Matters

This is something that can be true, and I feel that a lot of guys don't really understand. I had difficulty once with a coworker who gave me a birthday present even though he shouldn't have known my birthday, found out my address, asked me out every month even though I said no and gave no indication I was interested, and often times invaded my physical space. While this might seem like innocent social awkwardness (often attributed to some subset of cs guys), it certainly doesn't seem that way when it happens to you.

When guys don't respect social boundaries it can be frightening. Don't be so quick to assume this fear is trained- I didn't start to react with fear until a handful of upsetting experiences. It can be justified fear.

> Was this data only sold to Dutch police or to US police departments as well?

If the data was sold to US police departments, things could play out very differently. Highways under MUTCD jurisdiction (basically any roadway receiving FHWA funds) are supposed to set speed limits according to prevailing traffic conditions (specifically the 85th percentile speed, see http://mutcd.fhwa.dot.gov/htm/2009/part2/part2b.htm#section2... ).

A lot of times speed limits are set by statute with no engineering studies behind them to justify the limit. If the Tom Tom data point out that traffic is exceeding the speed limit at a location, that would be evidence that the posted limit is actually too low and the limit should be increased.
The first person responding perhaps thought it was easy money. Every subsequent answer is a race to the bottom. So why not go all the way and allow responders to underbid the last guy? That way, someone could spend an hour writing a very detailed response hoping to get the $7 and someone could come along, crib their answer off of the first one, and offer to accept only $6. The first guy, not wanting to totally waste the effort he put in, can then lower his bid to $5. Rinse and repeat.

There's been a lot of comments saying something to the effect of "this guy does not understand the difference between full-time employees and contractors" or "people doing manual work should be paid less than employees."

Yet the author mentions:

"I found this social arrangement interesting, and ... decided to investigate the rationale behind Google’s decision to exclude the yellow badge class from most privileges the company has to offer, despite the fact that their labor ...[is] being contracted to Google by another company just like ... other informational laborers, the kitchen staff, the shuttle drivers, the custodians, and more."

It seems like what piqued his interest was that there seemed to be a disparity between the benefits of this particular group of workers and other normally considered low-skill work like the others he mentions.

Cruising wiki has been the source of most of my philosophical knowledge since leaving university, just looking for some well regarded sources that cover the topics in a little more depth.

Actually, I have tested this myself and have found that changing the privacy settings (like the screenshot you've provided) does not in fact apply towards the list. It's for all wall posts. For circleriot, all that you would need to do is add friends into your circles and that would be the end of it as far as maintaining your circles. Anything that you share within a circle will ONLY be viewed by the users who you choose.
Harper wins 1st majority
Using a hash table as auxiliary storage is a perfectly reasonable 'sorting algorithm'. He's not asking you to name one of the common sorting algorithms. He's asking you to solve a sorting problem, with a loosening of the usual limited memory constraint.

Once you've scanned the list, why do you have to traverse the 100 lists at all (unless you want to further sort them on 'name')? You just need to merge all the lists (In the mom case, simple concatenate all the stacks). This is a constant time operation.

The 'trick' here is to think about how would you implement a sort if you had no memory constraints. As the blogger rightly says, engineers will usually pick one of the standard ones without thinking (I would surely do the same).

Forging ahead into a problem space without understanding the contributions of others has three possible outcomes:

* Brilliance! You produce something wonderful, un-derivative, and that you otherwise would never have hit upon

* Convergence: you re-invent a wheel. Maybe you re-invent a wheel that was being overlooked, but nevertheless, someone has been here before.

* Drek! Your uneducated stab in the dark results in results that are unaesthetic, unproductive, unenlightened and unloved.

And, realistically, that list is in increasing order of likelyhood. I think there's a lot to be said for playing around before you go out and check on what others have done, but I wouldn't ship that uniqueness.
I'm not lying. I can see the dithering and have terrible eyesight.

The pixel density may be higher than the iPad, but the screen quality is nowhere near it.

And the device is that bad. What's with the system tray? And the Windows Vista style app switcher? It's like we've gone back in time to when Windows 95 was cool (and Honeycomb has a UI that is less consistent than Windows 95), except with tappable UI widgets.

Maybe 4.0 will fix it all (ala how 2.0 brought Android into the 'usable' category), but this is not a tablet for anyone but nerds.

'64 tablet specific apps' is being generous. Maybe the people developing these apps upped targetSdk and stuck in a poorly-recreated-fragment-API-using-thing-aka-UISplitViewController widget, but that's pretty much it.

The rest are games that are available on iPad.
I admit to posting that quote on my wall; for same. However, to try and make up for it I did a bit of research. Clarence Darrow is quoted as saying: "I have never killed a man, but I have read many obituaries with great pleasure." Sounds a lot alike?

Knuth on money and dropping out of graduate school
Then in the middle of graduate school
I was offered to drop out of college
and write compilers for a living at an annual salary
of $100,000 in 1962 dollars.
That would correspond to about $10,000,000 a year now
or something like that, not quite as much as a CEO — but anyway

I was offered, leave graduate school and get rich, and

I decided, you know,
I really wanted to spend my life not maximizing
the total amount of money that I got.

I wanted to do things
that were interesting to me,
that I thought would be useful to others.

And I found that money was a threshold function.

If you don’t have enough of it, you need it;
but after that point,
then it’s just a problem because you really
have to enjoy having money and figuring out what
to do with it responsibly,
which is something that I never wanted to do.
I'm not modifying a list there, I'm modifying the privacy settings of a wall post I'm in the process of making. When making a wall post, there's a little padlock and from selecting the customize option, you can target an update to a list. In this specific case, See Everything is a list I've created. Adding people to that list after this update has already been posted does exactly what you describe, it allows me to maintain just that list and they sell all previous and future things that I limit to it. While I don't use this much for status updates, I use it heavily for restricting photo albums.

It's also not for all wall posts unless you check the box at the bottom of that dialog setting it as the default.

I believe that in addition for a good designer the skill set required is to understand the overall user experience.

I am not sure that all the 'designers' do understand that.
And this is an area where Apple is well known to spend a lot of time for all their apps.
Yeah, even if one could scale up his web/app farms 2400% so fast, I'd really like to see a database that scales up/out this well :-)
If your app (or your framework) runs on Plack/PSGI you have a wide choice of server implementations. It will work under mod_perl, FastCGI and numerous other server environments.

Indeed if you write an app to run on DotCloud; you can also run the same app on your laptop, Phenona, any other server -- etc etc.

As someone else said (more politely), you'd have to be nuts to do an HTTP app now and not take advantage of it.
This is pretty silly; all designers should be good designers, but most specialise in different mediums e.g. you usually wouldn't hire a print designer for the web, or a web designer for an iPhone app as they don't understand the HIG.

To answer your question: It may be too early to tell.

And I think we all agree that there has to be a trade off between privacy and social life (or convenience). We make it every day. However, at some point trade off has to stop becoming worth it, right? Determining that exact point is a VERY difficult thing to do -- one that most people never even come close to fully comprehending.

None of us have seen first-hand what repercussions the trade off can cause when taken too far.
You make a valid point which I alluded to about how being unique might not be the most likely path to success.

It is really striking the balance between originality and having a pulse on the 'problem space' that is the the hard part.

It's highly unlikely that a new piece of immigration legislation gets passed before the next presidential election, since all of the political horsepower will go into legislation that will look good to voters. Considering that the next presidential election is next year and the new president will take over the year after you're looking at least 2 years.

Even then I would wonder since the startup visa program affects so few people in reality. They have been discussing similar programs since the dotcom bubble and nothing came of it since it's a narrow problem to a narrow industry. I would be surprised if it ever passes.

I bought a 256GB Crucial RealSSD C300 and put it in my MacBook Pro. It failed catastrophically within about a month. Luckily I do an automated full-disk backup to an external drive every night; between that and CrashPlan, I didn't lose any data, and Amazon gave me a full refund on the drive.

I then bought a 240GB OWC Mercury Extreme Pro and put it in the same MBP. It's been running fine for about eight months now.
the dynamic range between the coarsest cells and the finest cells was 2^42

How do you deal with the discretization errors that come up because of this range? Doesn't that overshadow the errors you get from precision issues? I am just curious - not trying to challenge you.
I understand the frustration when things are not moving along, but finding a solution to that is the only thing that filters out successful startups out of all the other startups.

All the best with your YC Summer 2011!

It depends on the instrument, but most brass instruments require many hours a day of rote practice just to stay in shape if you're working professionally in a symphony.

Also, many professional symphony musicians I know are in multiple side groups. (jazz bands, quartets, etc) I think there are actually some parallels with coding, though I don't believe orchestras take extra-curricular activities into account during auditions.

I don't really buy the idea that modern cars cannot be repaired by an independent or shade-tree mechanic. Sure, engine electronics are more tightly integrated, and may be engineered to 'require' an expensive tester, but there are still loads of things that a mechanic can do. Pulling transmissions, replacing clutches, timing belts, steering pumps, CV joints, oxygen sensors, etc.

If you ignore the over-arching message about the Federal Reserve, the article is very poignant. This quote sums it all up: " there are 50-years-olds who may never work again."

It's sad to imagine working your entire career to build a resume for a job that disappears. While half of me feels sorry for them, the other half thinks about the blue-collar workers who have existed this way for a long while. It's not uncommon to work in a factory for a long while and then lose your job - having such specialized skills that you can't find work. That's why they have unions.

Maybe the age of the white collar worker is changing. Maybe they need unions too.
For this analogy, I would like to point out that a musician attending a concert or chatting with fellow music nerds is equivalent to a programmer browsing /r/programming or having a beer with fellow programmer friends. It's a significantly lower-intensity activity than finishing a project.

Europeans have gotten used to much higher "natural" unemployment rates between 8 and 10%. In the US there has been a succession of bubbles that have hidden a lot of the inefficiencies and we are only now coming to the realization that a lot of us are just not needed at all. It will be harder here since the idea of long term government support is not popular, especially in the current climate.
