Also, reread CISPA, particularly the amendments clarifying what was meant by "cyber threat" and what activities were exempt from disclosure under CISPA.
To illustrate with arbitrary numbers, if HFT’s currently focus on 50% strategy (i.e., price competition and liquidity improvements) and 50% latency, a more optimal scenario would be 50% fewer HFT’s focusing 100% of their efforts on strategy.

Nitpicking - "more optimal" is non-sensical. Optimality is binary. You're either optimal or you're not. Of the sub-optimal cases there are better and worse options, but neither is "more optimal" than any other.

I've investigated starting a modern manufacturing company. Regulation and bureaucratic impediments are immense in most countries. When a manufacturing process is new it usually gets some old, broad regulation applied to it. If you doubt me, pick any already industrialised economy and read their health and safety requirements (usually found in multiple, conflicting documents). Governments are doing their best to remain as rigid and inflexible as possible in most cases (not deliberately, usually due to incompetence, lobbyists and special interests). From my point of view, one of the hardest tasks in starting an agile, flexible manufacturing company is finding a government that won't prevent you from starting in the first place. However, I'm still hopeful of finding that magical sweet spot of talented people congregating, relaxed regulation and at least basic infrastructure.
Text adventures (interactive fiction), and muds for that matter, are alive and well. I've been an active participant in both communities for many years so I feel like I have some perspective on it; in fact I'd say text adventures have seen a resurgence in the last few years. It's hard to say how much of that is fueled by nostalgia though.
sprintf tends to be a faster path than "build tree, render down to text".

You can solder this by hand with a solder gun and solder paste, hardly specialised equipment.
Thanks to the chinese guys that did this you can now hand-solder a computer that runs a modern OS like Ubuntu 12, you couldn't do that since the 70s.
It's definitely more hand-solderable than a ball-mount package. The latter one is basically impossible to solder using a tip.
You're aware this vote was in the house, right? So you've provided exactly zero out of "many" dems who voted against this bill because they wanted to do way worse.

What's your opinion of the republicans who voted yes for this bill? It must be worse than voting no, right? Or is this just a partisan issue?

I've no doubt that there have been democrats on the wrong side of these issues at various points. Chris Dodd was a democrat. But don't tell me a "no" vote is actually worse than a "yes" vote on this bill. The only way you can contort yourself into that position is putting partisan loyalty ahead of critical thinking.

> The time it takes to marshal the data is pretty much insignificant to the time it takes to do the actual write.

And JSON is more verbose.

Basically this is another read/write dichotomy.

When do we pay the price of structuring data? At write time? Or at read time? I'd rather pay it at read time, as writing may be shaving performance from my actual primary production system.
Are you suggesting that this is in some sense the answer to all the questions?

It probably would at least have the distinction of being an answer that pg/YCombinator had never heard before...

Where's the rocket science here?
The success of ETFs is probably significantly underwritten by the increased liquidity. As a rule of thumb liquidity makes markets less volatile and thus able to sustain more complex structures.

ETFs control tracking error, how closely the ETF follows the index to which it is benchmarked, by letting authorised participants (APs) arbitrage the ETF against the underlying. For example, if you are a SPY AP, you can turn in a certain quantity, called the creation unit, of S&P 500 constituent stocks and "create" the correct number of ETF units. Alternatively, you could surrender a creation unit of SPYs and the ETF trust would "destroy" those ETF units and issue you the S&P 500 constituent stocks [1].

The risk for APs increases non-linearly vis-a-vis the liquidity of the underlying. This has been empirically witnessed as a "U-shaped relationship between fund premium and market liquidity, which suggests that more active trading does lead to lower mispricing but only after a certain level of liquidity is reached" [2].

I've worked at places that "only hired the best" and such. I think this kind of mantra coming from employers is as much self promotion as it is a statement of policy.

As in, our stuff must be wonderful, we only hire the best.

But really, having a plan that requires that everyone be an Einstein is somewhat limited - a more robust organization is one that can accommodate & make maximum use of what skills an individual has. Obviously this has its limits, but making a condition of success that everyone has to be a potential Nobel Prize winning renaissance man is a bit limiting as well.

One alternative to this is the strategy explained by Lieutenant Keefer in the "The Caine Mutiny": "The Navy is a master plan designed by geniuses for execution by idiots"

If you can set something like that up, you are golden, the supply of idiots being much more plentiful and cheap than geniuses.
This whole thing sounds like the quantum mechanics of copyright since it doesn't fit with common sense.

If copying individual elements (all the chapter titles) of a work is fine, how is it that it is unacceptable to make an original song that contains a 5 second sample of a single instrument from another song? Both are copying a very small excerpt from a larger work.
I don't understand what you're trying to say here. The Administration has publicly stated that CISPA doesn't go far enough to protect critical information systems. The Administration supported the Rockefeller Senate Cybersecurity bill; the Republicans opposed it.

I have a generally low opinion of this bill, and of the Senate Cybersecurity bill. I think what's needed is liability, not do-nothing "sharing" or top-down Raytheon audits.

You can safely assume that I've actually read the bill (what I believe to be the final version, including the Amendments that survived) before commenting on it.
Not false I'm afraid. I use this issue to grab FileVault passwords from OSX boxes on a monthly basis.

In combination with DMA access from the Firewire port it can be quite fun[1]. Although with Lion, you can't use DMA when the machine is locked.

"Secure Virtual Memory" only does just that -- Encrypts the memory that is being swapped out to your disk. I've never done a memory dump and found the FileVault password has been swapped out. Probably because it is being used all the time to secure disk read/writes.

The latest OSX really is behind the latest Windows on the security front. Windows has just been the focus of intense hammering on that front over many many years and they've been force to improve their game.

And I say this as a mac user, as 99% of my pentester colleagues are.

Thank you.

It appears the EFF disagrees that cyber security threats were meaningfully narrowed in the amendments -- though this does not specifically pertain to any of my previous arguments.

> Unfortunately, this amendment doesn’t address the serious problems with the vague definitions. Even after amendments, “Cybersecurity system" defines the system that “cybersecurity providers” or self-protected entities use to monitor and defend against cyber threats. This is a “system” intended to safeguard “a system or network.” The definition could mean anything—a Local Area Network, a Wide Area Network, a microchip, a website, online service, or a DVD. It might easily be stretched to be a catch-all term with no meaning. For example, it is unclear whether DRM on a DVD constitutes a “cybersecurity system.” And such a “cybersecurity system” is defined to protect a system or network from “efforts to degrade, disrupt or destroy”—language that is similarly too broad. Degrading a network could be construed to mean using a privacy-enhancing technology like Tor, or a p2p protocol, or simply downloading too many files.

Your thoughts?

I must be remembering old data (or have just had it wrong). Thanks for the correction.

Regardless, generally speaking, the money isn't the thing that drives deals like this, it's the mentorship and exposure. In this case though, it sort of seems like a "Here's $5,000, come back with something useful, and we'll think about talking to you" sort of scenario, so I can't help but wonder about its usefulness.

I mean, it might work, and if it does, could be great for the area, but it doesn't appear to be modeled after any of the most successful incubators.

"Don't you have to worry about escaping a whole bunch of characters just in case something gets the wrong idea about what you have in a field?"

Either you're using a length-delimited format, which is pretty hostile for humans to read, or you're using a string that will require something to be escaped.

The only third option is bugs, like a newline that gets out into your logs and oops, new log line.

"I saw a page not too long ago which listed about a dozen characters which should be substituted in some manner when used in JSON."

It is very likely what you saw was the list of Unicode characters that are accepted by the JSON format but rejected by browsers and/or HTML in the context of a Javascript embedded in an HTML page. In this case, it's the browsers and/or JS-in-HTML with the issue, not JSON. And I don't mean that as a who-to-blame sort of issue, I mean, if you're producing JSON and consuming JSON and it doesn't pass through HTML it's a non-issue, and any string that passes through JS-in-HTML will have the same problem even if it isn't "JSON", so it really hasn't got anything to do with JSON if I am correct about what you're referring to.
Thanks for sharing, I'll check it out. I think the "Resolving Internal Issues" part is valuable and a place where I struggle myself quite a bit. Keeping a living document like this is a great idea.

The exclusion which appears directly beneath the language they're commenting on exempts "attacks" that merely violate licenses.

The language they're commenting on also reads clearly: "efforts to degrade, disrupt, or destroy a system or network of a government or private entity". "Efforts" implies intent. BitTorrent doesn't intend to degrade, disrupt, or destroy systems (though if it violates license agreements it does establish a nexus for monitoring under the ECPA!).

Beyond that, look: obviously we can all play the Glass Bead Game to connect any piece of language in any bill back to any action we want to protect. This is why patents are so impossibly annoying to read. But at some point, Occam's Razor has to apply. The language in the amendment we're discussing simply isn't tailored to BitTorrent.
I'm sure the administration, in between threats to veto CISPA, said that it was also ineffective and you could construe that to mean they really want something way more invasive than this. I wouldn't, but you could.

So if you have a low opinion of this bill, how come the only people you came into this thread cursing are the people who voted against it?

Also, you actually read the bill? How many pages was it? Did you read all of the laws it references and amends as well? You're more versed on this matter than probably 95% of the congressmen who voted on it.

In the U.S., this legal electric company monopolies were more or less granted w/the proviso of providing universal access, sort of the same goal.

The past 20 years, the electric companies are trying to wiggling out from under this, turns out they really don't want to sell electricity to residential users, in a lot of cases their big customers are subsidizing residential users. That is why, despite the hype to the contrary, residential electric rates usually go up under deregulation.

The typical electric company strategy the past 20 years is to try "surrender" their monopoly in unprofitable areas w/a lot of happy talk about competition/choice/consumer benefits and attempt to keep their monopoly in the profitable areas (wholesale transmission, generation/cogeneration for large consumers).
Why the auto business sucks
Customer:
Hi Kris
22:07:28

Customer:
I'll assume you can see my options
22:07:40

Kris:
Hello, how can I help you?
22:07:52

Kris:
I am sorry but I can't see your screen.
22:08:22

Customer:
I have awful credit from starting a business, but finally sold that business for quite a bit of money, make a decent salary and am ready to buy a car
22:08:34

Customer:
I've chosen this one.
22:09:14

Customer:
Is your company ready to set me up with credit? Or shall I go through my bank instead?
22:09:33

Customer:
Not asking for credit at this point, simply asking who I should contact.
22:09:59

Customer:
I have no intention of going to some dealership and dealing with a douchebag car dealer. I would prefer for this all to take place online.
22:10:34

Kris:
I understand. You have some options, however I am not sure of for how long you will be able to avoid the dealership.
22:11:20

Customer:
The only option (and i do mean the only option, because other companies have offered me this) is for me to go show my credit card, drivers license, and drive away with a car.
22:11:24

Kris:
You can speak to your bank or credit union about possibility of purchasing a car, and they will be able to look at it, your credit, your revenue and make a decision about the loan and financing.
22:11:38

Customer:
So Buick does not have in-house financing?
22:12:05

Customer:
No Chevy Credit (like Hyundai or Honda or Toyota or Kia or Ford?)
22:12:47

Kris:
You would have to speak to a finance representative from an actual dealership about that one.
22:13:00

Kris:
I am sure you can just call.
22:13:30

Customer:
Awesome. Let's have you set me up with someone from your corporate offices that deals with Chevy Credit. They can call me and set up a deal in the next week.
22:13:46

Customer:
I'm not dealing with a dealership, they're just an in-between man
22:13:53

Customer:
Why would I pay their salary?
22:14:15

Customer:
So I want a car. Let's get it done.
22:15:13

Kris:
I am very sorry to say that, however the only way that can be done, is by speaking to a dealership.
22:15:33

Customer:
Yep.....buying a foreign car. That really sucks. I want this car
22:15:50

Customer:
I have 3 foreign makes that are willing to deliver to my door.
22:16:36

Customer:
Thank you very much for the help, Kris. I do appreciate it.

The Benefits Of Having A Disaster Recovery Solution
Question 1: I'm not cursing the Democrats. I'm warning you: you will like their vision of how to secure "cyberspace" less than you will like CISPA. Go read the Rockefeller bill. I am not shilling for CISPA; I think CISPA is silly.

Question 2: Yes, I have read CISPA.

Question 3: CISPA is very short.

Question 4: Yes, I read all 4 of the amendments that survived the vote. CISPA doesn't specifically reference any other law, but I happen to be familiar with the ECPA and HIPAA too, for professional reasons.

I agree that I'm better versed on this matter than virtually everyone who voted for or against it, but that is faint praise indeed.
I'm no expert, but you are not comparing similar cases. It is in the interest of an operating system / tools vendor to give their customers blanket permission to use their APIs with the platform they are selling, otherwise they have an unattractive product (buy our computer and write software for it, but we own whatever you write!)

Google's case is different: They have created a platform that uses APIs from a different vendor's plaform (Sun) and while Sun would have been perfectly happy to grant their own users permission to use the APIs, of course they have no interest in Google's customers being given that permission.

The whole basis of assuming that anyone can use an API that you write is that "anyone" is "all people who you have permission to use your software in the first place". Of course it limits adoption of your platform if you restrict who is allowed to use it, but so does charging money for it. Some people choose to charge money for their work, some people give it away.
Long and Medium term investors should be investing broadly across the entire market.

Just a decade ago you needed to buy into a mutual fund and pay sales loads and expense ratios over 1%.

Now, you can own an ETF containing a piece of each of the Fortune 500 companies for an expense ratio < 0.1% because spreads in those 500 companies are narrow and trade constantly.

Medium term and long term investors love HFT because it saves them 0.9% in yearly expenses. If you've got 100k invested in SPY instead of some Fidelity fund, HFT is saving you $900 a year.
Doubtful. Yahoo rewrote Viaweb in C or C++, didn't they?

There's a reason why so many programmers still use CGI scripts. And why they depend on a host of scripting languages that rely on external libraries written by others.
Perhaps it's because they just don't grasp what Paul Graham is describing. They can't comprehend languages like Lisp or Forth or developing incrementally from an interpreter prompt.
And they don't need to. "Web 2.0" is an easy sell, no matter how crappy the "web apps" are, no matter what library-dependent, inflexible language they are written in. "Market forces" inhibit the few folks who do understand Lisp and Forth from spending more serious time with those languages.

The web browser as a UI. Brilliant. Programmers and end-users (a group to which programmers themselves belong) are getting smarter every day.

Anyway, you're right. It is definitely more advanced. Let's keep that in mind as we're looking at what's coming down the pipe hence forward and marvelling at what some will portray as "innovation".

I'm actually not so worried about the privacy of the files I might put in GDrive. The handful of files I really care about (financial data etc) I store in other ways.

But I am worried about having my Google account yanked out from under me.
