Hold Up.... Quick question. How is the price of bitcoin suppose to fall to 1BC = $30 when they're going to DDOS all the exchanges except for BitStamp?! People can't sell their bitcoins and cause a devaluation if they aren't able to login. A tiny percentage of bitcoiners actually have auto-bidding set up, and if BitStamp is the only one up, won't it get flooded with traffic and possibly go down too?

Anyway, assuming this is true....

I guess this will finally show how self regulation doesn't work when profit is the motive. Then again, this leaking is proof that at least one individual is attempting to self regulate.

This is the very thing that will scare people further away from Bitcoin. Knowing it's this easily manipulatable. Knowing Reddit I'm pretty sure they'll try to spread the news of this as far as the internet reaches. However most bitcoin owners will never find out.

I guess in 24 hours we'll see if it works or not.
I think it's interessting that there are all these articles about scrappy startups, passion projects and how programmers are artists, but at the end of the day if you're not making six figures people still look down on you.
>While foetuses obviously don't have optical processing (you know, no eyes and all), the brain actually "boots up" on the 18th day after conception. So just before/just after a woman will start to suspect she's pregnant, there's an brain actively processing information in her womb. If we took that as the standard, you know, that'd be more conservative than any religious grouping even asks for.

I would like to introduce you to the Catholics. They're a small group, don't get much press and aren't terribly vocal about their view that life starts at conception.

Crying shame that the world's most popular blog platform thoughtlessly made this color mistake, and now this problem is going to become common-place.

Not everyone on earth has 20/20 vision and uses an Apple Retina device. Is it possible to block all WP sites so my browsing world is less miserable?
I dont really think they do. Apple is smart enough to know that no other CEO can turn that trend around. Its not the CEOs fault anyway, how can anyone follow up Steve Jobs run without the hyped stock price taking a hit?

They still have been tremendously successful in the last 2 years but stock price is irrational anyway. I doubt there currently is anyone with similar experience and understanding of Steves vision than Cook. Some might say Ive, but i dont think he is the type of guy for a CEO position of this size and he already is at the very top of the company anyway.
Wishful thinking, there's no way the price goes back to $30 at the moment. Not a chance. Maybe in the future, but not right now.
The hilarity of all of this is that the current product pipeline was signed off by Steve Jobs whilst he was alive. And the same people (except for Forstall) are still there plugging away.

But that said Apple just needs to follow the iPod strategy for the iPhone/iPad and they will continue to pour in the cash. By that I mean products at lower price points but still maintaining the same premium aesthetic.

Also I would stake my life that Apple WILL release a TV. But it will be 4K and coincide with a "H.265 across the company" strategy.
If you're holding bitcoins, reading r/bitcoin is pretty much mandatory.
In what world are 10-20% margins low? Perhaps the problem is with real estate operators having unrealistic expectations towards real estate appreciation rates and profitability.

Grocery stores average a 2.5-3% profit margin, and I'd consider them a pretty essential business (because, you know, you have to eat).

While I agree with you that walkthroughs/tutorials/tours, or whatever you want to call them, are not the end goal of a particular user design, the idea that you could create a design that is so elegant and perfect that it doesn't require any kind of instruction is absurd. Sure not all sites need it, but the option is out there for people who don't have the ability to hire a UX expert, and whose sites change frequently. I was literally just on Facebook and was taken through at least three different tutorials. IF you can hire a ux person to make your site not need a tutorial, then all the power to you. For the record, I founded Tutorialize (https://tutorialize.me), and I'm constantly watching this market landscape change. I've met multiple people who knew guys from Kera.io, and though I didn't get to meet them, they definitely seemed like cool dudes. I'm sure the core team with come back with something great soon enough. Peace!

From a pro-life perspective, articles like this underscore the current (and perhaps eternal) lack of settled science that establishes a bright line between a proto-person and a full-fledged human individual.

In Western society, it is more illegal and more socially unacceptable to kill a pet (dogs, cats, horses) than it is to have an abortion. From a dispassionate micro-economic perspective, that must mean that at some point a developing human becomes worth more than a puppy. Can we make a rule that clearly draws that line? Reading new research in human development just shows me how blurry that line still is.

In the face of uncertainty, I consider it wise to draw the line early in pregnancy to avoid killing out of ignorance.
IMHO "Very Short Reply Expected" makes it sound like an answer longer than ~5 words is not welcome. I think it ought to be more inclusive so that in case there is more to say you still feel welcome to do so. Maybe something like SRW for "Short response welcome"…?
MANTIS: The 6 legged drivable robot
If you're boggling at the $1-2m mistake, then fair enough.

If at the $1-2k budget being too small, then:

When there are people around the world entering design competitions for simply a chance at $xx, and a few are half-decent, you could get some mileage for assets at $1,000-2,000. At least something that will improve the polish on this game.

When will people stop paying attention to Forbes and their badly vetted contributors? I'm as foolish as anyone, every time I get linked to a Forbes piece and only while reading it do I remember how bad most of their content is.

As pointed out by one comment on that piece, the biggest error the contributor includes is "Apple’s stock has lost about half of its market value since October 2011, when he took over as CEO". In actual fact, Cook took over as CEO in August when the the price was $376.18, lower than it is right now at $390.53.

I'm sure there are arguments to be made that Cook should be replaced (not saying they are or aren't the right arguments), but they shouldn't be made by someone who screws up the facts that badly, whether it was a mistake or just talking shit to fit his story.
> The Street’s bullish stance is astonishing considering that some $290 billion of Apple’s market value has been wiped out in just six months. Of the 37 analysts from major securities firms who follow Apple, none has downgraded the stock to a sell, according to available data from MSN.com. But 25 of them still recommend the stock as a “strong buy” and six others rate it as “moderate buy.” Another six Apple watchers rate the stock as a hold.

One of the chief reasons why these analysts continue to favor the stock is Apple’s huge cash pile, estimated at more than $137 billion, and what the company could do with it to win back the thickening crowd of disappointed and displeased investors. And strong demand for Apple’s innovative products has continued, led by the iPhone and iPad. And speculation persists that soon Apple will announce another new must-have product, which should help the stock recoup its sharp decline.

So essentially, despite no good reasons for the price to drop, the stock price is dropping because analysts are afraid the stock price is dropping regardless of what the company is actually doing. Now, because of that, those same analysts want to get rid of the CEO that basically engineered Apple's ability to make ridiculous margins on through their operating systems efficiency. This is absurd. Does anyone else want these analysts to just shut up?
I'm at the opposite end of the spectrum ... I'd never heard of Kera and after reading the obituary, I wanted to know what it was. Unfortunately, they've simultaneously put a "black ribbon" on the project's web page, making it impossible to navigate to any meaningful description.

A Monad is just a theoretic abstraction, not a useable one. Only specific Monad instances (IO,Maybe,List,etc) can be "useable", hence "useful". There is no generic "bind" for example, it has to be implemented specifically for every Monad.

While Monads are pretty useful in pure languages, they are often over-engineering in imperative languages.

What I consider the actual point that the OO world is currently learning from the FP world is abstracting over computation. OO can abstract data and state, but computation is rarely modeled as an object. Monads are simply a pattern you can observe often, when computation is abstracted.
They could have made the change backwards compatible. Basically by doing something along the lines of designating a part of IPv4 space for use with the new protocol, and then stuffing the extra address into the optional header field. Then if you're running an older device that doesn't understand the new header it will just forward it along until it gets to a device that can.
Post-mortem of my first startup, Dizeo
"If it'd make me very angry however, I'd move to Kentucky."

Abortion is very legal in Kentucky and will remain that way for the foreseeable future. If someone moved from the Netherlands to escape a pro-choice government, I could only see him becoming more angry in Kentucky. Especially when you consider how pro-choice American laws are and how pro-life the average Kentucky resident is.

I'm not sure there is a developed country a pro-life person could move to out of moral disgust with abortion. The Vatican? Can someone just move there?
It's interesting that David Foster Wallace also spoke at Kenyon. http://publicnoises.blogspot.com/2009/05/david-foster-wallac...
Not really. While the iPhone has been influential and a huge success for Apple, it didn't really kill any of existing smartphone incumbents. "Everyone" was only buying an iPhone for fairly limited values of "everyone" (e.g. excluding several continents). Instead, Android killed off those incumbents, taking advantage of the opening the iPhone had created.

So it's really Google > Nokia (Symbian), Microsoft (Windows Mobile), Palm and RIM, with Apple off to the side somewhere. And the complex, multi-faceted Apple vs Google battle in mobile isn't an upstart vs an incumbent, it is a battle of two upstarts who have become the incumbents.
I would argue that an open smartphone ecosystem is innovative. Not original, but innovative.

Google Now IS innovative.

Google's method for voice recognition is certainly innovative, as are the myriad ways in which they have implemented that core technology.

Google voice (grandcentral) was certainly innovative; the calling system and the text transcription in most specific.

My main problem with your exchange is my perception of you constantly moving the goalposts. I don't see how you can categorically reject 'technical, low-visibility innovation' unless your argument is presupposed.

Furthermore, most of these achievements are acquire/hires, and we have seen the big G push these purchased assets into new features or products. I would argue that this capability IS the basic facility to innovate the marketplace.

Report Claims Apple Returned 5 Million Faulty iPhone 5 to Foxconn
Catholics are very vocal about that point. I wouldn't call them provocative as a whole, but I think it's fair to say it is universally understood what the Catholic position on abortion is.
Since CoffeeScript started supporting literate programming, I've enjoyed dabbling with it quite a lot. I wrote a program to generate a recipe for a variant on the "soylent" concept, using numeric.js to solve and optimize for various constraints based on a target nutritional profile. The goal of that was rather close to what TFA is discussing; I had previously computed the recipe by hand, realized later that my calculations were wrong, and decided to build the recipe as a well-documented reproducible computation instead of an opaque final result.

But what I have not found yet (or discovered for myself) is good guidance on how to document larger blocks of code. If a function is more than a few lines long, I haven't found a satisfactory way to document it.

The first approach I tried was not to respect the atomicity of the function in terms of formatting. That is, I would just write along literately about what the function was doing, right inside the function. The problem is that in both the code and the generated documentation, it becomes very difficult to discern scope visually.

The second approach I tried was to give a brief overview description above the function, then include ordinary comments inside it. That's fine and all, but at that point, you're not gaining much over simple block comments above the function.

The third approach I've tried is to either use an ordered list of steps preceding the function, or to describe the function with numbered footnotes, and then to add corresponding numeric comments in the code. This is the most satisfactory solution I've found yet, and the documentation ends up looking like a programming book. But the locality of reference is just terrible. It's also just terrible for control flow statements. Using an outline format instead of an ordered list can allow for a bit better control flow, but it's still not great.
That is a terrible analogy.

Comparing an abortion to killing a live animal is bullshit. Compare human abortion with the termination of animal pregnancies if you will but not a full formed live animal and a fetus.

Aditionally we could say the reverse, an old animal is worth more than an old human, because if an old animal is dying we will euthanise it to save it pain and misery, you canot legally euthanise an adult who is living in pain and misery. So by your own terms at some point an old dog becomes more important than an old human.
One of the things the punditry never stops to deliver is flip floping following the trend. Apple is no different company now that it was a year ago.

While apple bashing is all the rage now, the (supposed) problems it is having are the same as the day Cook took the office.

While I would enjoy tremendously the fall of apple (and any other walled garden) I would prefer too see it on the basis of failed ideology than mass market psychosis.
Exactly. Facebook knows that, and I imagine that's why they implemented this "receiver has read the message" as a way to pressure everyone to keep replying right away.

It's still worth a look as a book, but obviously there's a lot more to do afterwards now than there was then.

God says...

51:16 And I have put my words in thy mouth, and I have covered thee in
the shadow of mine hand, that I may plant the heavens, and lay the
foundations of the earth, and say unto Zion, Thou art my people.

51:17 Awake, awake, stand up, O Jerusalem, which hast drunk at the
hand of the LORD the cup of his fury; thou hast drunken the dregs of
the cup of trembling, and wrung them out.

51:18 There is none to guide her among all the sons whom she hath
brought forth; neither is there any that taketh her by the hand of all
the sons that she hath brought up.

51:19 These two things are come unto thee; who shall be sorry for
thee? desolation, and destruction, and the famine, and the sword: by
whom shall I comfort thee? 51:20 Thy sons have fainted, they lie at
the head of all the streets, as a wild bull in a net: they are full of
the fury of the LORD, the rebuke of thy God.

51:21 Therefore hear now this, thou afflicted, and drunken, but not
with wine: 51:22 Thus saith thy Lord the LORD, and thy God that
pleadeth the cause of his people, Behold, I have taken out of thine
hand the cup of trembling, even the dregs of the cup of my fury; thou
shalt no more drink it again: 51:23 But I will put it into the hand of
them that afflict thee; which have said to thy soul, Bow down, that we
may go over: and thou hast laid thy body as the ground, and as the
street, to them that went over.

The only tenable premise here is that the market had priced ridiculous future growth into Apple, which is now leaking out due to reduced confidence in same.

The problems are: Apple's valuation was never optimistic (rather pessimistic compared to peers).. Apple's growth has barely slowed since Cook took over (we'll know more on Tuesday), but regardless Apple is still well ahead of the rest of the industry.. And the "fix" would be to bring in someone else who would restore the market's faith in Apple's return to ridiculous future growth...because there's a single CEO anywhere who could do that.

Apple's board is too smart to whipsaw around due to quarterly market drama. Cook is the right choice, though not alone. The mgt team at Apple is solid.

Sentiment is fickle and temporary. Numbers will eventually rationalize. Apple can afford to wait.

Because I can fix bugs.

Years ago, I found a replicatable bug in Adobe Photoshop (CS2?) that required me to delete my config everytime and set PS up how I liked it. Adobe's acknowledgement took two weeks, then a month of triage, followed by a "Yes, we'll have it fixed in the new version when it ships. You can pre-order an upgrade for only $lots" and new version shipped 6 months later.

Yesterday I found a bug in a framework I use. Within 2 hours I'd found the line of source code responsible, fixed it and was on my way again.
