I have an omegle exploit that exists entirely in javascript. it was written for Chrome (Windows/Mac specifically), but still 100% javascript. I'd be happy to email a copy of it (in .zip form) to anyone interested.

Also, the recent Tor Browser Bundle exploit (RIP Tormail) was javascript-based.
That's what I think as well. It's either null and void or my changes apply--I'm good either way.
I got one, and so far love it. The pc streaming feature is fantastic not to mention the ability to have all my favorite old console games emulated on the go.

An iOS app for the "Unibus" timetable at my University. It solves an itch I had about how long it takes to get the bus times plus how crap the apps look (i.e. https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/bus-catcher-warwick-uni/id35...). Moreover I wanted to flesh out my portfolio of apps to hopefully delve into some freelance work soon.

Yes, I know that the vast majority of people don't/can't/won't plan for retirement at all. But we're already talking about "parents with modest incomes but a lot of savings from planning their own retirement." Many of these people could fall into this category.

Same concerns can be said about Kinko's. This is another new generational problem that's probably not addressed in courts. Maybe a fair-use clause like at libraries and universities would be an interesting spin.

Candy Chang's Lessons on Community and Collaboration Through Collective Art
The only reason I suspect its not a big problem is neither political party seem to be whining about it.

Perhaps the boom economy over the last few years has hidden the problem. Graduates from IT/Engineering/Geology had a very good chance of skyrocketing into a top income bracket after only 1-2 years on the job. In terms of NPV this accelerated repayment makes the pool of money larger. And vice versa in a slow economy. I'm quite certain the previous generation didn't see their income climb so fast relative to their years of experience.

There are also dozens of scholarship programs that, when I was in college, I didn't qualify for because I didn't look like the OP. A lot of them are only for upperclassmen, and a lot of them are only for STEM disciplines.

It may be too late to apply and get such things but I didn't read of any effort to track those down. Finding scholarships, even qty 10 of $500 apiece requiring 3 hours' work each, should be easier with this backstory than any other I've ever read.
Think of cells (including binds) as just containers: when you call .get() (inside or outside a bind), you just get the currently stored value. Besides the container abstraction for its own sake, values also enable the scoping effect described earlier - if you have x.get() + y.get(), and x updates, you don't need to re-evaluate y (which in turn may be a bind - its body is scoped off so that you're not re-evaluating an entire sub-graph of the application). They're also necessary groundwork for smarter propagation strategies, e.g. stopping propagation if the value hasn't changed.
I may be reading this wrong, but from what I understand anyone can file a Schedule A (which allows you to itemize your deductions), but in doing so you give up the standard deductions for your tax bracket, which for a single filer is 5350. So at 7.5% of her adjusted gross of ~25k which is $1875. So if her medical expenses are less than 5350 it would most likely make the most sense for her to take the standard deduction. Otherwise according to this info she should be able to write off the full amount.

I could be entirely wrong about this. I am not a tax professional, but I do think that a little bit of financial planning could go a long way in these types of situatons.

These are great questions! The topics deserve attention from the docs, esp. regarding suggested ways of doing things (e.g. the `shown` example from earlier vs. imperatively adding/removing elements).
I entered Engineering school at a state University in 1974 and graduated in 1978 with a BSEE and NO loans. I was able to do so by working and going to school, tuition was $216 per semester, which even then was very affordable. It is a crime that today, this would be impossible. It is one of the greatest injustices today.
Emirates aims for high flyers with private Airbus A319 jet
It was my experience that every dollar I made came out of any potential financial assistance package I could get. So making $15k in an entire year, they expected that I could apply all $15k toward the school, which wouldn't have covered tuition. There was zero incentive to work as far as paying for school went, unless I could make substantially more than required for school.

I ended up just paying for school out of savings (I had worked 4 years before my junior year). Another thing about savings is that they expected I could spend 100% of my savings immediately. They don't even pro rate savings across the multiple years required for a degree. Financial aid is for them, not for the student.
There was even a golden period, '84 - '88, where it was entirely free to get a degree in Australia.

Australia needs something like HECS to encourage skills. Even with the loss of those going overseas, to support a service-based economy, it's still necessary to maintain domestic skills. The US is less in need - it is where the brain-drain of the world goes - which may be why their government feels less of the pinch.

And #rubyonrails
(Disclaimer: I'll admit to not having the best understanding of the applicability of secure MPC. For instance, seeing things about parallel composability, I have a hard time fathoming how multiple instances of something couldn't be secure in parallel. So I can only conclude the papers are written from a much different perspective than I have.)

> there is nothing inherent in secure computation that requires you to allow polynomial time attacks or even to require an honest majority

But, that paper comes right out and says: "On the other hand, as we have mentioned, in the range of t [malicious parties] ≥ n/2 [half of total parties] the definitions of secure computation do not imply Byzantine agreement."

In order to have a currency (fungibility), we need widespread agreement as to what constitutes value. Several nodes saying a transaction is good aren't enough - all nodes must agree. The hard part is achieving quorum of the majority of nodes, after which the remaining nodes acquiesce and follow (even if they vehemently disagree! that is, assuming they want to keep transacting with everyone else. also notice we've left out any judgement of honesty)

But also, what constitutes a "node"? If we aren't going to have a trusted party handing out limited identities, we need some non-forgeable ability. Bitcoin uses computing power measured in SHA2s. If you compute twice the hashes, you count as twice the nodes for purposes of quorum. You're free to explore a different system for avoiding Sybil attacks, but it's still going to come out as a one-to-one balance between "honest" and "dishonest" nodes.

"I tend to be more or less trusting of the government, but that's just me."

Wow that's kind of creepy. Mainly because I responded to a comment worded exactly the same way on another site recently, in regards to the NSA story. Circulating a meme perhaps?

The concept of trusting your government implicitly just seems so wrong on the face of it, this comment boggles my mind every time I come across it!
Right, but Murkins are special. There's this very real culture of "you can take my guns from my cold dead hands" that the rest of the world doesn't quite grok. While the 2nd Amendment argument wouldn't hold much water in, say, Denmark, You could probably get a bunch of NRA members to champion the cause of your friendly neighborhood script kiddie if you sold it to them correctly. And americans only support what's been sold to them.

Now, would the world be a better or worse place if someone got SCOTUS to agree that DC v Heller applied to 0-day exploits? Personally, I don't know if I could answer that.

I'm not quite seeing that. Kobe signs a contract agreeing to play for the Lakers. Musicians sign deals to work for record companies, often for "advance" money up front and no guarantee of future payments.

Its just a contract. Mutually agreed upon. I'm sure it can be structured so that the student/employee can exit the contract with a reasonable repayment plan.

Are current student loans, non-dischargeable through bankruptcy really that much better?

Ah, "can" was too strong, "saves money over taking the standard deduction" is what I meant.

I noticed something about a 2% haircut when skimming Wikipedia's entry on this, don't know if it would apply. Properly filling out a Schedule A would also cost, either in paying a preparer or opportunity cost in learning how to do it.

It depends on your allocator.

For example, jemalloc stores medium-sized allocations in big contiguous buffers, binned by size rounded up to 16 bytes. So if you realloc to a different size class, your pointer will change, because you need to move to a different big buffer.

Not much more to say. At one point it was much cheaper to proxy media to Canada and back into the US than it was to route it straight state to state.

It has to do with treaties and international tariffs versus state to state. When you hit a certain scale, say Verizon scale, you get to have your traffic carried for free by the other major telcos. It's all a volume game.

In short, people without volume maximize the rules of the system in order to increase their margins. One such method was to pretend calls were coming in from Canada when they were actually state to state.

Another odd fact: Calls Intra-state (from one county to another) are just about universally more expensive than calls Inter-state. The reason is, when you call out of the state, more often than not, someone is paying for receiving that call, but when you call intra-state all of the cost is born by the local operator.

Cute, right?
My advice, is to not build that in just yet. Say you charge, tell them the price, and take their credit card or money - and put them on a plan. Manually charge them through Square or whatever the first month or two, then build that portion out as it's required. 37Signals and a whole other slew of companies did just this too - so I'm not crazy.

The real reason to delay it personally, is that you might find their acceptable industry payment is different than you think. They may be used to paying monthly via check, and not do CC's. You never know. But this gives you the ability to charge, AND figure out the correct long term solution.

I think there is a subtlety here where the effect can reenforce itself and become the cause.

When we were raising our first round of capital, we didn't know what we were doing. We weren't good at analyzing markets, managing product, or managing people/dev process. So to raise money we were forced to lift with our back and do it on the strength of the pitch/story telling, rather than the strength of the company.

Working through the pitch and raising capital helped us get good at all the aspects of building a company. Now that the company can stand on its own two feet, it's much easier to just tell our story and simply explain what we're doing without worrying about the pitch too much. It wouldn't have been possible if we didn't do the first round on the strength of the pitch (since we wouldn't have raised money, wouldn't have gotten good, and wouldn't have built a company that speaks for itself).

I guess the moral here is that it takes a while to build enough confidence to spread your wings. It's an iterative process. You fake confidence while you have to, which in turn gets you the resources to get better at what you do. The next time you don't have to fake as much. The time after that you have to fake even less. Until eventually you're knowledgable enough and confident enough that you can just tell your story and not worry about the pitch at all.
IANAL - but it seems to me that in the link's scenario, you're not amending that contract. You're ignoring or rejecting the initial proposed contract (including this amendment clause) and instead proposing another (different) contract. Since you never agreed to that original amendment clause in the original contract, how would it have any force in the first place? Naturally, if you were to attempt to modify the contract _after_ both parties signed, you would need such a written document executed by all parties.

The personalisation idea sounds a lot (but not exactly) like what Hubski[1] is trying to do. There is still a certain amount of manual work involved in 'following' individuals and exploring tags (a la del.icio.us) but I find the resulting combination of a personal feed with comments on each item from the wider community quite effective. Of course, for a system that accommodates diversity to work, there must be actual diversity within the group. I'm not sure Hubski is big enough to have that yet.

We actually get more oil from Canada than from the Middle East[1]. We do import the most from all of OPEC combined, but OPEC includes places like Venezuela, from where we get an awful lot of oil, Ecuador, Nigeria, and other countries that aren't in the Middle East.

Sorry for being a pedant.

Australia has the same full-time study allowance (Youth Allowance). When I was at uni it was about $350 a fortnight. Enough money for rent in a share house, food, a carton of cheap beer and perhaps some petrol. You could survive on it if you were frugal.

The weirdest part was the means testing to make sure you were 'independent' and hence eligible to recieve the government money regardless of your parents assets. My parents werent poor but they were in no position to pay my living expenses whilst I went to uni.

Proving you were independent involved showing you'd worked full time for over a year or earnt a massive amount of money in a short period of time (I cant remember exactly but it was around $15k).

I worked 12 hour days at a factory over the summer break for 2 and a half months and with some other part time work managed to meet the income requirements. I started uni with a very healthy bank account.

I just thought it was somewhat weird that I had to work so hard and earn so much money...so I was eligible for the government to give me more money.
I've seen others make a comparable choice for the same reason of independence and also for getting out of workplace politics. I'm completing a GRA now, though not self-directed and only for a Master's. Though the stipend is… humble, without it, I wouldn't even have gone to grad school.
Ah, but in order to get that 100x they have to also invest in a larger number of startups, because of all the ones that look promising, they don't know which ones will actually succeed. So their expected return is actually increased -- probably quite substantially -- by requiring traction.

Not insane at all.
