So here is poker theory in a very, very brief nutshell.

One way to play is to (attempt to) play game theoretically, or more commonly (and less rigerously defined) "balanced". Your entire actions are defined in such that your opponent, even if they knew your strategy, could not exploit your decisions. Bets have the "perfect mix" (defined by pot size, but also other factors) of value hands to bluffs, so that your opponent is indifferent to calling down/rebluffing. This is what you called "not playing the odds" but, contrary to popular belief, involves bluffing (lots of it!), lots of aggression, and in general may look kinda crazy.

The second way is exploitative poker. This is the more common "not playing the odds" type poker, where you play in a way that maximally extracts value, because you think your opponent is not bluffing enough/betting too big with his range, folding too much, etc. The "too much" is basically "deviating from the correct GTO play". However, to exploit this, you yourself now need to deviate from optimal play, thus opening yourself to exploitation.

There is still a debate between which is "better." Obviously exploitive will, at least in theory, lead to higher winrates, but runs the risk of yourself being exploited. If your "read" is wrong, you could be losing. By playing GTO, you assure you never lose (except your share of the rake), and money naturally flows to you through opponents just basically exploiting themselves.
Hardware is expensive. Plastic injection tooling, PCB fabrication, PCB assembly, component purchases, FCC and EU and UL testing and certifications. Something like Kickstarter makes it possible for an engineer, such as myself, who does not have $200K in the bank, to use the skills I use every day for large companies, and create something new in the world.

For somebody to suggest that the one endeavor that needs Kickstarter type pre-funding the most, be the one endeavor that should never be entitled to it, all because they're mad because their own attempt at funding was rejected, pisses me off.

Promoting some sort of system where I get money only after I'm ready to ship, leaves me scratching my head. If I have a warehouse full of product ready to ship, I can go get traditional purchase orders the old fashioned way. What problem would such a system be addressing?
They should charge whatever makes them the most money per flight. Unless a competitor to GoGo comes along, or using cellular devices is allowed on planes, it is likely a good decision short term and long term.

jonafato mentioned in another comment that they could use the price to control usage rates, increasing the price to keep the number of users down and the bandwidth:user ratio up.

Best way to save money I find is to just be an antisocial hermit. Where I'm from socialising is basically synonymous with "getting drunk".

This can not only be expensive in itself but alcohol has a profound effect on your ability to make sound financial judgements.

Once you've factored in a few rounds at trendy bars, taxis , takeaway or a restaurant curry and maybe a club cover charge; "A few drinks after work" has turned into a £100 hole in your monthly balance sheet.

You can tether even with their 12 pound unlimited package. I had to do it a few times, it was only for half an hour or so,but nothing happened. People on their forums are saying,that it's basically a rule of thumb - if it's occasional and you are not downloading hundreds of MB of data, it's going to be fine. But start using your phone to torrent stuff,and they will probably limit your speed or cut you off.
power consumption is what got me into this kind of thing. I donot expect a good browsing experience nor gaming on this kind of stuff. please quit ranting about the spec.
As far as I know, there are no (public) models on Th reactors. The most advanced is an analytic simulation (without CFD) from a Chinese nuclear engineering lab, but nobody has a real clue about the precise input variables anyway, therefore no MC is even in sight, as of today. But marketing is well advanced.

And as the Japanese say, assuming we do have a functionally correct model and a Th reactor design (or designs, since there are several configurations), that still doesn't say anything about the economic aspect (I do not mean the old economic model, where the byproduct of plutonium factories were sold as energy).

So, uh, you think it's expensive? Or it's so reasonable, it's silly to complain? Or was that the joke?
Ask HN: What are barriers of entry for tech startup competition?
I've been working on a pitch to angel and we got a common questions list for investors where one of them asked "what are the barriers of entry for your competition?".

I'm working on a tech startup and this question really threw me off-guard. The prevalence and accessibility of tech has made development and building so democratized that I'm not exactly sure if any barriers of entry exist.

HN, what barriers of entry are there for tech startups?
This too was my main objection to the article. How could a single hacker pose a threat to democracy? And is it really democracy?
You are correct. The recommended sentence is not a part of the plea deal. The judge is not bound to accept what the US Attorney's Office recommends.

> Sweet.js doesn't have the ability to make whitespace significant

Feature, not a bug? But yeah, I guess that would be an impediment to implementing CoffeeScript. I'd like to see some of the CoffeeScript syntax implemented but without whitespace dependency (so it would have to be a modified version of the syntax).
Note that the UK government is currently in the process of adopting such policies. If they're successful, look for this sort of arrangement to be proposed in other European countries as "reforms".
You can encrypt file with a crypto hash of its contents (e.g. `key=sha1(file)`).

That's a nice catch-22, as you need contents of the file to obtain the key to decrypt it.

Deduplication could be even more effective if the file was first split into variable-size content-dependent blocks using rolling hash (like rsync does) and then each block was encrypted this way separately (this way same MP3s with different ID Tags would still be mostly deduplicated).

Of course the more you make deduplication easier the more you indirectly disclose about contents of the file, so this is a security/privacy trade-off.
This is the 'other side' of the development argument. These things take time, OR money. You have to be willing to invest one or the other. It happens all over the world. China has the same issue, not enough time to build infrastructure, so 'waste' is disposed of via undesirable methods. This triggers protest, which triggers debate, which I think is good. Probably speeds the development of infrastructure. Now in the interest of full disclosure, I've worked with Halliburton moving between Houston and DC. So I'm pretty big on infrastructure.

I'm also familiar with all sides of this argument. I'm unsure how you accomplish what we are trying to accomplish, without incurring some downsides. I think it's important to ask, in an informed manner, whether the good outweighs the bad. Everyone has to do this, America, China, Indonesia, Malaysia etc. Now you, personally, may not like the answers that the policy makers agree on. But that's how it works.

Sometimes that means that there are fires visible from space. But it also means that there will be less conflict in the MidEast region in the future. A lot of these things are connected.
The initial announcement shows typical use cases: http://stephane.godbillon.com/2012/08/30/reactivemongo-for-s...

ReactiveMongo is a pure non-blocking Scala driver for MongoDB. But more than that, it enables you to consume data from MongoDB in a reactive way. For example you can stream documents from and into MongoDB, without blocking at all, without filling up the memory.

Here are some good examples:

I'm fairly certain that PGO is used for all of the official binaries. I do know that Arch Linux's package (which is from source, not official binaries) is compiled with PGO, so the support is definitely there.

If an IRC channel, or HackerNews, kicks me off, and while I know that they don't want me back I reconnect, that's almost assuredly illegal.

It won't hit CFAA standards until damages exceed $5,000, though. The IRC channel, or HackerNews, probably doesn't have $5,000 worth of stuff to damage, unless I really harass them for months. JSTOR and MIT, whether you like them or not, did have something that valuable.

The physical analog is entering a store that you have been forbidden to enter. That's misdemeanor trespass and probably only a small fine for the first time you do it. However, if you harm people or take/harm property while trespassing, you can quickly find yourself in the neighborhood of felony trespassing.
Ask HN: Review My Startup, Yog (like Anchorman...kinda)
Hi Everyone,

I’ve seen how helpful answers to “Ask HN” requests have been in the past, and now that I’ve released the first version of the social running app I’ve been working on, I figured I would make my first post to HN to ask for some feedback from you all.

Yog (www.getyog.com) as it’s called, allows users from around the world to run together virtually, in real-time.

In short, my intention is to channel peer pressure to increase the frequency and level at which people exercise. I am focused on synchronous running to start and then once I’ve mastered the social mechanics behind running, I’ll expand Yog to other sports.

While there are a slew of run-tracking tools on the market that do a great job of digitally transcribing physical exertion, my ambition for Yog is to create new exercise experiences (think virtual races, in-run challenges, communication, etc.).

I released the first version of Yog in mid-November and I’ve been excited by its traction to-date. In just over 8 weeks, users in 73 countries have scheduled 3,100 runs.

With an MVP complete, I am now thinking about building out the social infrastructure (i.e. in-app communication, user profiles, points/badging, etc.) to really deliver on the frequency and performance focus I mentioned above.

Whether or not you run, I’d love to hear what you all think. Our website (http://getyog.com/) has some more information and the app is free if you want to play around with it: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/yog/id533514312?ls=1&mt=8.

Thanks.

Yeah, that's a good point, but if you got all the CoffeeScripters' attention and then showed them that CoffeeScript is just one possible improved syntax...
And yet, in 99.5% of use-cases, it's infinitely more convenient not to have to jump through that hoop.

I've been a Ruby developer for… seven years now, and have literally never encountered actual problems in the real world by this, by mutable hash keys, or well over half the other issues on this list. And I'm willing to bet the vast majority of other developers haven't either.

Ruby has mostly sensible defaults that work as expected in most practical cases.

>> That's not a valid argument.

It's not an argument, it's a description. That is, in fact, the way Ruby generally works.

>> Q: Why does your OS allow any program to write anywhere in memory?"

That's not an accurate comparison. A user installing two programs cannot be expected to ensure that they play nicely together. A programmer can be expected to ensure that an application's code and libraries play nicely together - especially in a non-compiled language, where you always have the source code.

Even more especially where you have a community that generally promotes the best libraries and the developers who make them.

>> How do you want people to be able to be able to reproduce state and to reason about a program if f*cking CONSTANTS can be modified!?

I'm not proposing a crazy new system; I'm describing a language that has been quite successful. In actual practice, I have never, ever had a bug that was caused by a constant being redefined. I've never accidentally redefined one, and if, hypothetically, I did, I would see a warning.

It might seem like a problem, but it isn't.
I'm actually really impressed. Thanks for the recommendation.
I have not raised money myself, but everyone I know who raised a seed round, incorporating was one of the stipulations. There is always a contract (term sheet), which spells out certain requirements. But typically the bulk of the money raised, goes toward supporting the founders as they build/launch the product.
In the philosophic sense, no!

In the we live in the real world sense, absolutely.

The US gets to enforce US law around the world because they have more guns. You'll notice that when the USSR was around there were a group of countries with a vastly different system because the USSR had enough guns to force the people of those countries to play along.

The International Criminal Court is an even better example, the US is not a signatory to the ICC but can recommend other non-signatories to be prosecuted by the ICC while at the same time denying the ICC rules apply to the US.

Might absolutely makes right because those with out might are unable to enforce their decisions. Ortiz lives by politics she can die by politics, I'm sure she's experienced enough to realize the realpolitik ways of the world. She's no innocent bystander in the corruption of the American justice system.

Thanks for reminding of the increasingly economical non-nuclear non-fossil options.

On the matter of Minnesota nuclear plants: I would caution that the perceived cheap power is a result of significant expenses born by the populous as a whole decades ago... expenses that aren't in your power bill today but worth remembering. And similarly, there will eventually be significant expenses born by society as a whole to deal with the waste.

The fact that waste is piling up at all reactor sites---and don't think that's not a hazard in natural disaster/accident situations, let alone targeted strikes---means there is a significant not-yet-quantifiable cost uncertainty inherent to nuclear power.

Cost uncertainty has to be thought of as a significant cost, even higher than the potential cost will actually turn out to be, since we need to assume the worst when we don't know.

Thus if we really want to talk about the true cost of existing nuclear power: it's far higher than what you're paying today per KWh

The content however was invisible to me. I couldn't monetize or get people interested, but I learned a lot from it.
It's a modest step up from the imx5, and OMG MORE COREZ. We're looking at it more for a cost-reduction move from the imx53 than a performance gain.

It seems that Ruby uses GNU Bison:

It is not so clear for documentation purposes, but grammar rules are in between 850-4988 lines.

File/Line size does not tell much about Grammar complexity, but anyway, the whole parse.y file is bigger than cpython/Parser directory. BTW, Ruby's parse.y file is just the input to Bison.
