I'm more intersted in how much work I really need to sleep productively. That is: how little work can I get away with doing and still have a comfortable home and enough free time to sleep as much as I want?
Hrm, I'll take a look when I get a chance- thanks for the heads up.

You might try it on your smartphone if you can - I still need to work on the mobile layout, but it shouldn't look terrible.

During an interview at the London office I asked about working hours and I was told you can pick from either 8:00 to 18:00 or 9:00 to 19:00.

I was also told that my money making side projects would not be allowed or would have to be "approved".

The people who interviewed me were really nice though and they did not wear a suit.
Khan Academy is great. I was teaching my cousin (12) when I was home for Christmas and even my niece (7) was learning writing her own snippets to draw smiley faces and such. Definitely is a good resource for teaching the basics of programing (variables, functions, syntax, etc).

I think this comment on that blog says it all:

>I fully agree with Andrew that, from an objective perspective, there is no misunderstanding whatsoever. Unless you get into arcane measure theory details, conditioning upon a value and taking this value as fixed amount to the same thing. Discussing about notations does not seem like an optimal use of our time (times?)…

There simply is no difference between conditioning on a value chosen before hand vs treating it as fixed. If you imagine a Venn diagram of the two scenarios, the event space under question is exactly the same. Whether your conditioning value can actually change (a rv) or whether it is universally constant, you are still only considering the space where your conditioned value is fixed.
In a common scenario where the customer pays 1% to Coinbase and the merchant pays 2.6% to BitPay, Bitcoin comes out worse than Paypal or credit cards.

That was the result of a study (in other words, science). Where is your proof that the study is invalid?

Note that I am not saying that the result is fact, just that there is science to indicate that things are not as simple as they may appear to people that dismiss the whole thing as "pseudo science".
I'm afraid I went down the rabbit hole here...

You are assuming that the demand for any cryptocurrency responds linearly to the completely arbitrary total "quantity" assigned: Litecoin can't be worth more than Bitcoin because there are more units of them. That's simply not true.

I am a fan of cryptocurrency in principle, but not of this particular oversimplification that was borrowed from some very sloppy thinking on the part of gold enthusiasts.

Limited supply does not reliably ensure certain price behavior independent of demand.

Not sure what you mean, since someone who owns a house doesn't have a land lord.
This is part of the issue. The other part is that no one has any incentive to spend money, which can cause a recession. You can either 100 units of something today, or buy 110 units of it tomorrow. This gives you a very strong incentive to wait and not spend money. This means that no one buys anything, so no one needs to make or manufacture anything. People lose their jobs, so they don't have money, so they can't buy things... and so on.

Of course, inflation can be very bad, too.
Could you repost this tomorrow if it's not an April Fool's please.
I don't know what the heck one has to do with the other. Reliably, scalably, securely deploying production applications is never going to be part of the intro screencast for a platform.

Frankly, all your comments on this thread have shared a kind of language-war tone; I'm talking about what people should be doing to secure production Rails deployments, and you tack on a dig about a screencast from 2008. In other parts of this thread, you leave wisdom like "Rails is for posers, Python for pros". On the presumption that you are a good faith commenter writing this stuff to evangelize for what you believe to be better platforms: the tactics you're using are backfiring. Your comments are going light grey, and they're discrediting the idea of evaluating platforms based on security by giving Rails partisans an easy straw man to beat down.
Those investments may not exist. Investments can yield a positive return only if somebody else spends money. But what if every potential customer also sits on their money to exploit the deflation instead of spending any?

That's not irrational, assuming I'm interpreting the parent comment correctly: If 40 kWh car is really a "locked" 60 kWh that allows modders to unlock the remaining 20 kWh, then it's entirely reasonable to be pissed off if one bought the more expensive model. After all, one could saved a lot of money by buying the much cheaper 40 kWh model and unlocked it.

We do mostly php + mysql though we have a few projects in scala, go, and java. Fully agile (Scrum).

We do hosting, payment processing, mass mailing, design, hack days, custom solutions, video streaming.... and etc.
> The reason it's bad is that deflation makes it more profitable to do nothing than to invest. When this happens, people react by not spending money. The market dies.

If this is holds true, why do people buy from markets where prices regularly decrease? Wouldn't it follow that they will wait in perpetuity and never buy that new phone/laptop/etc?

I thought this was hilarious, especially that on 'blame day' you couldn't defend yourself in Nerf battles. It left me wondering "Ok, what are these folks trying to do?" and then "Oh, he's one of the founders of http://www.targetprocess.com/ , I get it."
Surely the problem solves itself - if nobody invests, then there is no growth. If there is somehow growth without investment (because everyone is hoarding currency)... then that's a problem I'd like to have.
I see your point, but I think there is a fairly large niche of people who are into fantasy golf and/or betting who take golf stats and results more seriously than you might realize. The app was developed with constant feedback from a few people in that category, so it definitely has more of a 'power user' slant. That said, I do think it could be fun for casual fans to play with too--I'm just not sure if I can find as much of a market by targeting them.
Is Danny famous? Apart from splitting his own tongue?

I mean, he's obviously famous among his friends. :)

Incidentally: I know Andrew well, and actually almost moved to NYC to work with him at Bloomberg. I think he is underselling the role a little bit. His team sits on top of one of the greatest mountains of real time data in the world, and gets paid to invent and execute cool things to do with it. I'm pretty familiar with the environment he's working in, and it is the least stereotypically "BigCo" environment in probably all of finance.

If you're remotely interested in Andrew's problem domain, strongest possible recommend; go talk to him!
Cross-platform access is the killer feature for me (with Pinboard). I frequently need to access my bookmarks on systems that aren't my own, so these sorts of services are quite handy.
I'll have to check at work tomorrow, but fairly low, maybe 1000 - 2000. It was a plastic case with one bottom and two tops. The company we used has these jigs that can make molds out of a combination of custom parts and generic parts to keep machining to a minimum. The molds only work in their machines, so you don't end up owning the tooling, but I still think it's worth it.

Also did a plastic clip with a live hinge, and I think a steel tool was under $7,000 and parts under a $1.

Compared to 3D printing, we hit the break even point at around 100 cases.

I was just surprised since the last time I was involved in manufacturing was the 90s and was paying $100,000 for tooling for office telephones.
Sustainability is really the achilles heel of inflationary economics. The Earth is finite. Exponential growth cannot continue forever. When a steady state is reached, that's apocalyptic to inflationary money systems since debts all the sudden can never be repaid.

Edit: I don't think space colonization matters here. Sure, it may be possible. But Mars is sufficiently far from Earth and the energy cost of transport sufficiently high that a populated Mars would effectively be an entirely separate economy for everything but intangibles. I don't think a Mars colony would permit Earthly exponential growth to continue, even though Martian exponential growth could occur for quite some time. (Until Mars' own unique limits were reached.)
If you convert to MB or GB only using the bullet options, you can sort sizes appropriately. Not an ideal workaround, but for now, it works.
> I don't understand the point of this rifle. Is it to enable non-shooters to shoot? It's not hard to learn how to shoot. With an afternoon of instruction and a few practice sessions, you can hit 1000 yd targets with a normal scoped precision rifle without much difficulty.

I gather that it must be more publicity stunt than anything; or perhaps at best a vehicle to a lucrative government R&D contract. Shooters don't need or want this and those who don't shoot because they think it's too hard won't pay for it (if such a person exists at all). The government has no possible use for it beyond automated weapons systems which they already operate, but I wouldn't put it past them to pay for additional development just for the hell of it.
I think betterunix is not talking about a crypto flaw but a 51% attack; for ~$20M you can buy enough ASICs to basically take control of Bitcoin. (I'm not convinced that mathematical concepts like "polynomial time" should be applied without consideration for economics, but that's a whole different topic.)
Yes!, these strategies make sense:
- I could for example, run a tic-tac-toe game against the game tree algorithms and test it instead of nine-men morris game which is more complicated. I never thought of that!

- I wonder if there is a systematic procedure than can enumerate the fixed properties for algorithms. I guess this is the hard part in formal verification theory.

That is one theory, and is the prevailing one. It is not necessarily correct.

Regardless, it is certainly a consumer's right to store their assets in something that is not inflationary, as most do. Is the population holding empty real estate or gold instead of currency really that much better for the economy? No.

Smart money will simply shift out of cash in an inflationary environment, and the value will not necessarily be productively invested.

Urban Airship has tons of engineering and other positions open: http://urbanairship.com/careers/

We help mobile app owners manage their users. Customers drop our SDK into their app (iOS, Android, Windows, etc.), then they can go to our elegant web interface to send push notifications, setup triggered events, segment their audience, create a pass/offer for Passbook, and more.

There are over 1 billion app installs with our SDK in it. Many customers are huge brand name apps you would recognize (10M+ users each). That's a lot of devices we push data to, and it's a lot of data coming back when devices phone home (analytics data, location data, etc.). Our engineering targets for push are 100,000 messages sent per second or more. It's interesting because a lot of our traffic is outbound (us sending things to phones) as well as inbound (phones calling back to us). It's kind of crazy, we have to make sure we don't DDOS ourselves and our customers.

I work on Audience Segmentation. Customers can slice and dice who they want to send to. We do a lot of GIS/location indexing, as well as indexing based on the preferences and behavior of mobile users.

Our engineering roles are available in Portland or San Francisco, your choice. We also have a Digital Wallet team in Palo Alto that is going hard at Passbook and other digital wallet tools.

"Supposedly they can easily change algorithms if SHA-256 is broken in the future."

You are not understanding the problem. Bitcoin is not a hash function, nor is Bitcoin a digital signature system. Bitcoin is a digital cash system, and so any discussion of Bitcoin's security must be based on the notion of security in a digital cash system.

There are two minimum security properties a digital cash system should have (informally): first, that the units of value cannot be counterfeited; second, that each unit of value can be spend by exactly one party at any given time. In both cases, it is commonly assumed that the attacker's work is bounded by some polynomial in the parameters of the system itself, so the system is secure if no polynomial time algorithm can break either property (but an exponential time algorithm might e.g. a brute-force approach). It is possible (and usually desirable) to prove that a system is secure using mathematical arguments, for example these systems:

http://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007%2F11889663_20

https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpls/abs_all.jsp?arnumber=568944...

http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/iel5/5326/5550332/05443458.pdf

(Sorry that these are paywalled, you can probably find them elsewhere)

Unfortunately for Bitcoin, while it seems to satisfy the first property (but no security proof is out there as far as I know), it fails the second property. Double spending in Bitcoin requires work that scales linearly with the parameters of the system (the "51% attack"), which is basically worthless as far as cryptography is concerned. The fact that Bitcoin uses a secure hash function and a secure signature system is irrelevant because the problem is with the protocol itself.

An easy way to illustrate the difference between using a secure cryptosystem and being a secure cryptosystem is the "surreptitious forwarding" problem. Suppose you receive a message from your boss that was signed with his secret key then encrypted with your public key which said, "You're fired!" Now what you might do is to re-encrypt the signed message with another person's key and send that to them; they would now believe that they were being fired. It is not the encryption system or the signature system that you attacked, it was the fact that composing signing with encryption in that manner does not prevent such forwarding (but there are ways to do that). Bitcoin has a similar problem.

I'm guessing it goes back to public markets but primarily or exclusively to pay back its government loans.
Yes, compared to formal verification etc handcrafting seems much easier to do for most algorithm implementations.
I can buy a 2014 Cadillac or iPhone 5 next year for 30% less than I can this year. People seem to be buying these things.

In a deflationary environment, people buy less stuff they don't need today, which leads to a higher quality of economic growth.

What you should be worrying about is the money supply, not the individual coin value.

Is there any acceptance in commerce of these competitors? Unless there is an underlying demand created by available products, these coins will be worth nothing.

In my opinion, features won't matter. Bitcoin has critical mass, and it's unlikely to face real competition.
