Excellent points.

I worked in a bank designing systems at one point. Even with methods to retrieve money lost through fraudulent transactions, they still had monthly 'Fraud' budgets much larger than my salary for money they couldn't retrieve. Imagine BTC services 'Fraud Budget' when all transactions are non-reversible.

Banks do have a massive advantage in 'Practical' security as well in the form of a 'big stick' aided by the government. Since the practical risks of fraud against a bank are much higher than fraud against an online BTC service (who is the FBI more likely to help), the exposure would be much bigger.
It is absurd that they have to keep thousands of copies of the exact same data because laws are skeuomorphic.
I'm very excited about this!

I feel it's the beginning of the slow demise to the cable TV business model.

Aereo could easily add third tier cable stations or up and coming stations looking for an audience, i.e. Al Jazeera, Current TV and others. To fill in the void of no CNN, Fox News and others. ESPN though is a different story.
I think its useful as an exercise to point out the challenges in Copyright law.

I'm not sure why this point isn't being made, but they're not going to change anything about how the routing works, least of all for Bamboo.

Heroku is past the point of caring about pushing the envelope, stateful routing is an infrastructure risk and overhead that primarily their least informed customers need or want.

It's a high margin operation is a low margin business, they're trying not to fuck it up.

So stop asking.
As a lawyer, it was the majority's approach that bothered me. Simply, this hyper-technical approach makes for bad law. The court would've been better served here just saying it was fair use because the ads were preserved and the streams contained content that could be watched for free over the air anyway. Throw in the additional public consideration in this case, which is that the content owners are taking advantage of public airwaves to air this content in the first place, and the need to perpetuate this bizarre loophole disappears.

The problem here is: what does "public performance" mean in the context of internet broadcasts? Cablevision just covers that consideration with mud. The answer is probably: the distinction of "public performance" is completely meaningless when talking about internet streams.
Deflation would refer to the value of the same good. Obviously new smartphones are pitched as "new, improved" goods, and marketing sways consumers to get the latest and greatest.

No offense, but you're divorced from the mentality of the poor. Unless you have been taught that you can get into any school - unless you have been taught what grad school is - unless you have been taught the differences between schools - unless you've been given the context to grasp many of a wide variety of things relating to the educated class -

You're going to assume that (1) they are just saying that because Marketers Are Liars, (2) you're not smart enough - those schools are only for smart people, and (3) you can't afford it anyway.

I know someone who didn't know the difference between an Associate's and a PhD when they were in high school, and didn't even really conceptualize the idea that college was a real possibility when they were a teen.

My point is, you have to shift your entire cultural context when talking about the poor and the uneducated: you - anyone who's not deal with them - has to get the narrative context they live in before you can dismiss their non-attendance at the top schools.

When the show is initially airing, HBO would rather you subscribe to the cable channel, since the cable company pays them much more than Netflix or Hulu would.

When the season ends, HBO would rather you buy the DVD / Bluray, since the sale of those discs pays them much more than Netflix or Hulu would.

It's certainly possible that one of the digital vendors could offer HBO enough money to change their mind there, but it's a fairly daunting check to write.
I probably mean what you think I mean. But, among other things, (i) using a broken sort algorithm is nowhere near as bad a problem as getting block cipher modes wrong, and (ii) CLR isn't a mass-popularizing evangelical text about algorithms, and (iii) basic fundamental algorithms and algorithmic analysis isn't a moving target like cryptography is.

I am not making a moral judgement about _Applied_. I don't think the guy should wear a hairshirt. As a book, it's a great book; it sold well for a reason. As an instrument of software engineering, though, it's a bit of a curse.

I agree, and this makes sense; however, I would think that creating cheaper living for the right kind of people (e.g. aspiring entrepreneurs) would be something that even the owners of these million dollar houses would be open to given that Palo Alto is the hub of entrepreneurial activity on the peninsula and seems to be something that the community takes pride in.
Your current banking transactions aren't anonymous either. It's a nice additional security layer for people that want it, but by no means is it required.
Some hints that helped me a lot:
- 2 calls is nothing. 100 calls is something. Do 100 calls. 50 at least.

- Step by step. Step from call to purchase is too large. Make it shorter - appoint the meeting. Let the meeting be the objective of your call.

- Are people you call the ones to make final desicion at the company? If not - you miss the point. As for your product - you need marketing director or CEO. Reach them.

- At the meeting - don't talk about features of your product - talk about benefits your product will bring this person.

- Have something to show - better business cases. Your cases are the best, off course. But any will do. There are plenty of stories when mobile websites made business grow. Just have something the client could look and feel.

As a high school junior going out to the Bay Area this summer to work, I agree with a lot of the advice for high schoolers. From my own experiences, I would add these little bits:

- Completely disregard age requirements when applying. If a company denies you because of your age, then just apply to another company.

- Avoid the conventional application process whenever possible. If the company has a job posting anywhere, always take the approach of reaching out to the employee who wrote it, instead of going through the generic application page. You are not a conventional applicant, and this approach allows you to stand out.

- Avoid the conventional interview process whenever possible. Not many high schoolers are exposed to courses on algorithms in a conventional class setting, which tough interview challenges are based upon. Find a company that hires in a more progressive fashion where they instead hand you a coding challenge or ask you to explain certain concepts. These interviews are the key to getting you hired, because they allow you to demonstrate your programming ability, knowledge and communication skills all in one. Focus on knocking these interviews out of the park, and removing any doubt from their minds.

- Do not mention your age anywhere highly visible. Not on your Github, not on your Twitter and especially not on your resume. Even though I wish it weren't the case, age can be an immediate turn off to possible employers. Once you have a communication channel open, however, be sure to mention your age.

- Focus on marketing yourself. Don't only churn out side projects, but also write about them, demonstrate them at tech meetups, submit them to central repositories, etc. Maintain a blog, writing about the things you work on. Maintain public profiles on social networking sites, listing yourself as a freelance developer. This comes in handy when employers are questioning your legitimacy from the get go. From doing this, I actually attracted employers to myself and got a few job offers from prominent companies. Even though I had to deny them all, I asked the recruiters if they had summer positions available, many of which did. If this ever happens to you, make sure to ask the recruiter how they found you.
Did you read your articles?

Germans are bringing gold back into their own country, as opposed to holding it in other exchanges. They have neither increased nor decreased their supply.

China and India are world-class consumers of gold for jewelry, as expected of the world's most populous countries with a rising middle class. Gold is also used in microelectronic components. Chinese Banks on the other hand, have not increased their holdings according to your link. IE: China is not investing into Gold. They're using it.

As for Russian and Iraqi Central Banks buying up Gold between 2012 and today... well... they've already lost 10% on their investment as Gold has dropped in value between last year and today. I mean, if you wanna follow the example of Russian and Iraqi banks, you're welcome to do so. But I don't think anyone considers them a paragon of the investing world.

Its not illegal, its a "sham" (which is to say the house is worth much more than $1 and the sale has an ulterior motive). Similarly car sales where the car costs $1 but the "handling" charge is $15,000. The sham is that you pay sales tax on the sale price (that was fixed by paying sales tax on the blue book price but I digress).
That's never bothered me when flying.

Building the app seems like perfectly logical extension of that.

I don't see the contradiction but my point is, if we want to see more steves we should improve the relationship between us and them even if we have the hard part of the startup.Which is almost always the case.

But hey, if you choose to be a programmer, you should do it because you really like it not because you make a lot of money. I can work 30h non stop on a project I like even if it's not mine, because I really like to build projects.

I don't want the exception to be the rule.It would be impossible after all.What I want is tech guys to risk more when it comes to non-technical people.

Btw, when you are smart and very talented you don't really need to get that technical.I already wrote about a non-technical guy I've worked with which had no technical background and no experience with startups that was able to build a product from his mind. I was shocked.I mean he didn't even know how to design it in photoshop.He was able to guide us through the building process almost perfectly.Now, of course he was reading a lot about everything but besides that he had no real technical background.

Should I say that guy was technical or non-technical?We probably see things differently.

We should return to our topic subject because we are entering the eternal debate and we will just ruin the topic.

> WTF does anything going on outside of the
> computer industry have to with Windows?

If you restrict your attention only to what's going on in the computer industry you are likely to lose your sense of proportion, as well as leading an impoverished life.

Otherwise, my view is that if you don't like Windows 8, carry on using Windows 7, or else install a Stardock or other program that makes it work the way you like. Windows 7 will be around for the rest of the decade at least.

However, people are capable of learning new interfaces, the real issue is the size of the benefits.

With Windows 8, the long term benefits are that the new UI works well with touch screens, it provides access to a new category of WinRT apps, and it gives you much the same UI across mobile phones, tablets, laptops, and desktops (as well as common files and common services). In the long run, this means having to cope with fewer new interfaces, and it reduces your total learning time.

This is obviously a work in progress, and it's a long-term play. None of us knows how it's going to turn out. It's far too soon to say whether it's right or not.
while Bitcoin is deflationary due to monopoly, crypto-currency is inflationary.

Bitcoin's value is not held by how hard it is to mine them. It's held by how bad people want to use crypto-currency for trading behaviours.

When bitcoin's value become too high to be used for normal trading, it's value will decrease, simply because people will invent new types of crypto-currency(i.e litecoin, namecoin) to replace its function. When less people using bitcoins, no matter how 'hard' its mining algorithm gets, its price will drop.

Therefore crypto-currency is inflationary, and that's why Bitcoin will become inflationary eventually.
Defcad's DNS point-of-contact is dns@jomax.net. Meanwhile, megaupload's is ipr@ic.fbi.gov. It seems very likely that this is a wonderfully crafted hoax.
The differences between the representations matter. In 2s complement, -INT_MIN is not INT_MAX; in fact, -INT_MIN is undefined and a C compiler is justified in deleting all your code if you ever cause it to calculate -INT_MIN.

I tell you what: if you think modern architectures use an explicit sign bit to represent integers, how do you explain the fact that INT_MAX+1==-INT_MIN? If there's a sign bit, how could you possibly represent more negative integers than positive integers?
As a fairly regular user of Punchfork, I definitely wish it were still around, but this feels self-entitled.

I'm not so sure that briefness and adherence to that convention improves readability. Of course f, x, xs is much much better than 'first' and 'rest', or 'a', 'b', 'c', but something like 'func' and 'iterable' gives more context. And frees one's attention to more important things, than looking up and down the code.

Compare:

map f [] = []
map f (x:xs) = f x : map f xs

With:

map f xs = [f x | x <- xs]

Or even better, in Python:

map = lambda func, iterable: [func(x) for x in iterable]

Which one is more readable?

First one requires looking up and down in order to understand what is going on. Second one is better, context is limited to one line. And the last one doesn't require you to remember context at all.
Don't forget the "try to use the TLD bit to make the end of your word"-fad :-) Like doing "hackerne.ws" - not exactly new, but a rising star fad.
You know, I've been having thoughts along this line for a while too. I actually miss the days of the 8088 in some ways. A lot of the excitement and discovery of computing seems be diluted by having so much stuff to work with. The job changes somehow from one of creating to one of assembling. Not sure exactly what the difference was, but somehow it seems like it's easier to get in touch with the essence of what makes code fun when it's just you and the machine. I was more excited by my simple text-only calculator programs back at the beginning than I am by my big complicated 3d graphics stuff today.

We are a small team building a real time auction for rental property.

Run democratically, you get to do what you want. We believe that if you hire intelligent people, the worst thing you can do is tell then tell them what to do.

Our mission is to help people. So you won't be working on a tweak of anything that is already in existence. We exist to innovate.

For example, every real estate start-up has put effort into map UIs, forms and listings. We'll open up our unique and high quality data set for them to exploit their UI (and build/innovate where they are strong). We do believe that only by collaborating will the toughest problems be solved.

There is reason I've gone into so much detail about our values: everything else is arbitrary. I'm sure you can problem solve. I'm certain your JavaScript is clean and beautiful. But if our incentives aren't aligned with yours, we shouldn't be working together.

If you want to help people, focus on innovating and build all day long, say hi: http://twitter.com/WigwammHQ

I'd guess from your comment that don't likely live in Boston or have spent very little time here.

The way the city is set up, the T lines basically just run out toward other stuff. Only when you are in downtown can you find multiple lines close so most of the time you have only one option if any.

Check this map out: http://mapsof.net/map/boston-metro-map#.UVnvrodOTYg

In NYC, you can usually walk to different lines quickly.

There may be express trains in Boston, but I don't know of any??? I don't use the T to commute, so maybe someone else knows?
So. Us normal users will get the security fix on Thursday, but Heroku is somewhat special and gets early access? What does one have to do to become special?

I don't like how this is being handled, no matter how serious the issue. I could kind of understand what the postgres team was doing until this point where they show that while everybody is equal, some are more equal than others and get early access to security fixes.

Doing this does nothing but motivate the bad guys even more to find the hole on their own.

The initial announcement got me scared already, but this just made it worse.
Why is this definition good? I mean, why should I or anyone care about changes in the money supply, except in how they affect prices?
This is wrong.

Take an integer value x. Flip the sign bit. Do you now have the value -x? On a 2s complement architecture, you do not. In 2s complement, you have to flip all the bits and add one to get -x.
