This law is all about the company moving money around, not a restriction on the money itself. So using BTC would not make a difference.
That's really not helpful. What is the user experience at the checkout counter? Are there any new instruments or hardware involved? How are such things deployed to consumers and merchants?
Correct. If you are a fan of Bitcoin then you should definitely favor repeal because right now all Bitcoin exchange services are unlicensed and therefore illegal under the state and federal statutes.

And just who were these mysterious evil people that apparently hate deaf kids..

ed: woop my bad, you covered that
Admittedly in a few regards the story sounds not-quite-right. However I think if it was "typical internet fiction" then it wouldn't have ended with the revelation that the kids weren't deaf after all. Why deflate the punchline like that?

If pure glurge fiction, it would have ended with the narrator, or more likely the Apple store manager, receiving a note from the school, relating how the deaf kids had been treated poorly at every other store. Better yet, one of the deaf kids would have had a powerful father who went to the Apple store and lavished rewards on all the employees there. Father might even work for Microsoft. Let your imagination run wild.
The phrase "nearly linear time" come from the paper.

However, the paper gives a better definition:

When we refer to a nearly linear time SDD system solver we mean an an
algorithm that computes such a x in time O(mlog^c(n)logε⁻¹)
where m is the number of nonzero entries in A and c ≥ 0 ∈ ℝ is a
fixed constant.

I've worked for an EHR company that has had a solution to this problem for at least a half decade. Basically, there's a specialized touch screen input interface that is customized to the specific text field the doctor is imputing ino. It works similarly to smart text, but is much quicker, as the doctor is just selecting an option on a touchscreen instead of having to begin by typing. It, of course, has programmed text sequences and can have custom values imputed. From what I know, it works really well in the field.

That feeling is part of the problem. It's interesting how we humans find easier to think in terms of "us" and "them" rather than just condemn both.

I can understand the argument that dropping the bombs made japan surrender more quickly, and thus saved a lot of american soldier's lives.

Most of the people who died in the hiroshima and nagasaki were only responsible of being victims of an oppressing government and state ideology.

Furthermore there were a lot of prisoners who died as well, for example 20000 korean prisoners.

Not sure though if most of the people would find ethically acceptable to actively murder 250000 random people in order save some from cruelties.

I'm sure there can be an endless discussion about this. However, I just wanted to note how easy is overlook completely this when you think in terms of "them".

The bomb wasn't dropped on the torturers, the rapists, which in many cases were not held responsible for the crimes they committed.

I know that it sounds obvious, but this way of thinking, is the one of the reasons all this atrocities are allowed to start in the first place. By thinking of other people as inherently different from you, they can be thought of as inferior and thus you feel exempted of feeling wrong about the stuff that's being done to them.

Humanity has very long history of this behavior, actually it was more common than not (slavery etc). The thing that's peculiar about the WWII is the systematic way, the unstoppable industrial approach and the way that cold heartless "science" gave apparent purpose for nightmares to come true.

WWII helped shape the very notion of evil in our age, it's style and motivation.

Functional programming. At the very least, systems where all logic heavy code is handed off to a functional language and the imperative language serves as the glue (with something like Scala, we won't need even that much). Seriously, that post reminded me of the same thing.

Also, by functional, I DONT mean just map/reduce/filter. The advantage of FP is really in being able to define types and mini DSLs very easily, the kinds of patterns higher order functions allow you to capture, the simplifications afforded by immutable types add up to make functional code the cleanest representation of the problem itself, without any of the cruft.

Try learning Scala, Clojure, or another functional language, and write some serious code in it. Go through a book or a course though, because if you try to pick it up by google and blog posts, you might end up writing basically imperative code in the language, which defeats the purpose.

Personally, writing functional code for the first time opened my eyes to how many problems that I thought were more or less fundamental were just artifacts of the level of abstraction being too low.
CloudFlare does about as much for protecting you from web attacks as a condom does in protecting you from a rabid pitt bull.

In fact it might even make things worse, since CF can be tricked in to refreshing its cache of pages pretty easily, making it easier to create a DoS.

Also with very little work you can trick CF in to thinking a site is under attack from Google's IP range which will trigger it to block Google, seriously hurting your search rankins.

I know these guys. Their food really is delicious and they were one of my favorite meals. I wish there were something I could do to help, guys.

But no kidding around, they're doing good work and definitely merit a place in a startup's food rotation. I give them a full endorsement, and I'm a picky child with regard to catered food.

Food is a very difficult business. I'm heartbroken for your setback. I hope you find a way back out of the hole. Good luck.
Segway did solve a problem for many people, but I don't see what Google glasses solves. It sure solves several Google problems (more ad displays) but that isn't the users' problem.

I also agree with Brin, not using Google Glasses is emasculating, it turns you into a know-it-all, jackass.
Ok, let's unravel this out a bit.

- From what I gather you are 3 guys (who cook ethnic food) who get hired through a catering agency.

- For Zeus knows why, your biggest client (the catering agency) dropped you.

- You mention not marketing properly and now seem to not have a good customer list to cater to (pun intended).

In your situation the best option would be:

Print out some flyers and cook some samples. Go door to door to every fucking office park in a 5 mile radius and take some sales. Do this before lunch!
Now, about those samples. You have to prepare plenty of samples. Put out your best stuff. The way you display them is very, very important. Make sure that everything looks and is clean and tidy. Wear some nice clothes that don't smell like you came out of a kitchen. Smile.

Do this for 3 times a week for 3 months, then once a week forever. You will not have to worry about this happening again.

Remember: Every person that tries and likes your food is a customer. Take an order right there. Close the sale while they are enjoying the sample. Don't hesitate.

Also, raise your prices by one dollar in the entire menu, and give a $1 discount to those who order right there. People can't turn down tasty discounted food.

Disclaimer: My sister in law has a business like yours and I grew it to a very nice size with that same tactic.

They also have hardware in the phone to generated HDMI (although electrically modified to fit on the USB connector). Given that only a tiny percentage of people will ever plug their phone into HDMI, it makes sense to have that minority pony up $40 instead of making everyone pay an extra dollar for the hardware they will never use.
I am very happy to see this issue getting exposure. I have long been saying that CC are a big scam and essentially a protection racket taking 3% of every transaction. People get 1% cash back (when they're lucky) and they think that money came out of thin air. The fact that vendors cannot pass that cost on to CC users is part of the racket--and is finally being recognized as illegal.

But the OP gets at the heart of the matter: "Retail transactions conducted with credit cards cost 2-3%, which is a ridiculously high cost given today's technology. Retail transactions (actually, any money transfer transaction) could be profitably brokered at 0.1% or less."

Given the high fees on CC's I always wondered why there was no alternative card with lower fees, or why ATM cards still had 1% fees. Now I know it's because of legislation like this. I bet the CC companies paid lots of campaign donations to the legislators who passed this thing. If I was still in CA, I'd send the email he suggested.
The mistake I made that made me lose the catering agency was a startup had ordered food with instructions that basically said something like "please leave fish sauce out, someone is allergic". I took that as only one person was and brought a side of fish sauce for the other employees. I did specifically mention that I understood that someone was allergic when I delivered the food but that the side of fish sauce was for anyone else that might have wanted it. The customer told the agency and I was canned. To be fair, in hindsight that was a stupid mistake that could have been pretty bad. The agency has been great and I don't fault them at all. In the past I've had other minor mistakes like being a little late on delivery.

I talked to the CEO of the catering company but he didn't want to over step and I understood. At this point I don't believe it is something salvageable.
I get the difference between a release upgrade and a rolling release schedule. My point was that when you are creating a release, you can say "this is the point where this change happens." With a rolling release, will a "apt-get upgrade" transition me? What if this was unexpected? What if this breaks my config?

For most normal upgrades this doesn't matter because the applications are usually fairly insular, but when you get into integrated systems like Desktop Environments it's different. Especially when Ubuntu is making a number of UI/etc changes to the desktop. It would be a bit surprising to have UI parts shift around. When you do a release upgrade, you know that there are going to be some major changes, and there are ChangeLog/notes on the release itself to tell you what major changes there are.
The term "nearly linear time" is fine. The next part of that sentence is where the problem arises: it suggests that the opposite of "nearly linear", and the status quo, is that running time "increase[s] exponentially". But the existing standard algorithms already scale polynomially, not exponentially.

I don't live in the valley, so maybe the answer is obvious, but I'm having trouble understanding how or why it would be important to specialize in startups.

Right, because only remote workers can take care of their kids when they are sick.

Yahoo has not removed workplace flexibility, PTO, or sick time. They restricted remote working, which has little to do parenting.

Which didn't end until what, thirty-ish years after the end of WWII, if that?
If so, then does no other large company that wants to use jslint ever raise the issue? And why has it happened multiple times with IBM?
Interesting point. HN is full of founders from startups.

OP, since you are going to do another pivot. Do you have plans on being your own agency and catering directly and having a direct relation with startups or are you looking for another agency?
We don't. We have catered to all sorts of companies including big corps like Apple. Startups has just been easier for us to reach as its hard to make sales with big companies but we are open to any all clients.

I gave you a +1 because I had the same "scrolling issue".

After your comment I noticed a lot of comments on the same issue, so I decided to try it again. The second time I noticed that a blue arrow flashes at the bottom of the screen after all the content has populated, almost promoting you to scroll down. I suppose most everyone, including me, initially scrolled to fast to even see the first "arrow/prompt". Despite the discovery of the prompt feature, some of the issues remain. Example, wondering how far to scroll down before stopping (maybe pgdn?), and wondering which parts of the "page ? Exhibit ? Installation ? whatever it's called" are interactive.

>page ? Exhibit ? Installation ? whatever it's called

I too was unsure what to call it, but if they listen to the feedback, I think "whatever it's called" is really awesome and could be a legitimate substitute to the ppt platform. At least I would be interested in making a few presentations with it.
hmm its nice :P

> It is a logical outgrowth of globalization, of technology, and of the internet. For international finance is the last great systems, next to law and the rule of government itself, that has not yet been toppled or reorganized by internet based, distributed technologies. Media has fallen. Education has fallen. Retail has fallen. Transport has fallen. Manufacturing seems to be coming under threat.

This would be interesting, if any of it were true. Media is still totally dominated by cable news and talk radio. The application of the internet/computers to technology has been a miserable failure. Online universities are a punchline rather than a credible alternative to brick-and-morter institutions. Amazon's revenues are less than 1/7'th as much as Wal-Mart's, and a bit smaller than Target's. Transport is booming for completely non-internet related reasons--people are traveling more than ever despite the availability of internet communications. Our highways are congested, our airports are overloaded, etc. I'm not even sure what to make of the manufacturing comment. What internet-related or distributed anything is threatening manufacturing?

As far as I can tell, the only thing the internet has really replaced is physical mail, phone calls, and mail-order catalogs. And in the process it has been far more centralized, not more distributed.

If an exchange is in a different country then how can it be illegal?

Being as the exchange I use is based in Hong Kong and my country is Australia, USA laws do not apply to me.

I understand that the USA law will apply to the majority of BTC users however, because most of the exchanges and developers are all USA based, unfortunately.

Without that bit the story would've been "Hey some deaf kids visited my store." It still would have been unusual but that last crazy detail is what makes it a remarkable story, and it's the part that makes the narrator a hero.

It's also the part that goes from pushing the boundaries of believability and bursts full on into being obvious fiction.
No need to be sarcastic. I find it interesting that somebody goes through the trouble of creating a new user account, just to confirm a theory that nobody could confirm without getting in trouble.

It doesn't prove anything, but it certainly fits the context. I would say the theory (and the extra bit of information) merit being analyzed further.
