Interesting because the outcome seems to be either:

1. Distributing the Bitcoin DB, knowing what it contains, is illegal.
or
2. Illegal content can be distributed through some loophole.

There doesn't seem to be a good outcome for this. It seems that poisoning the Bitcoin DB with illegal content might be a good weapon against Bitcoin.
If they weren't going to put names on the list, what would they put beyond a bunch of stats, such as "we found 455 California drivers licenses this year"?

Also, if you leave your data in a public place (such as Golden Gate Park), I don't think anyone should really expect privacy. Imagine if there was no lost and found service and all of the wallets were just left in the mud after Outside Lands (this is the control case). The posting of just some of the info in the wallet online preserves privacy compared to just leaving the wallet laying on the ground.

People who lose their wallets are afraid of their credit card info and cash getting stolen and don't want to have go through the process to get new documents such as a drivers license. This solution avoids all of those problems and makes it easy for people to claim their stuff. I'd much rather this site exist than not exist.
Had the same issue.
I believe you re:ambient signals (or rather, no reason to disbelieve you).

For those who are unfamiliar with backscatter modulation / passive UHF RFID... most systems are forward-link limited: the limitation on range is dictated by the ability to harvest enough energy to powerup the tag.

At a fundamental level, backscatter modulation is little more than a reflector that modulates its radar cross section. You could imagine building massive spinning reflectors to serve the same purpose at very low datarates. As for conventional tags, I've seen read ranges on the order of 30-100 meters using directional antennas.

You can build systems that are limited by receiver sensitivity, eg. by using different RX-TX antennas or by using a battery (not for transmission, but for very low power load-modulating the antenna). This is a classic radar problem -- but you can get pretty substantial ranges.
The initial response was within seconds. But the surge continued for minutes. Well, the surge hasn't really stopped yet depending on how you look at it.

Looking at just one data stream....
The 21 seconds between 14:21:10 and 14:21:31 there were 23 trades.
In the next SECOND at 14:21:32 there were 105 shares traded. And the price jumped, in that one second, more than the entire previous minute. So I'd say 14:21:32 is when the market started reacting. Not sure exactly when the tweet went out.

A search for nasdaq time and sales will get you the second by second data.
Dude why the hell would you do that?

If you have a family and stuff to look out for, you should definitely diversify your portfolio. It can't possibly be worth the risk!

But if you're young and have no family... best of luck, man. But I am an Apple doubter and would invest like that no matter what company you're talking about.
It would be a technical violation of the law to reveal to ANYONE including your lawyer that you received an NSL.

Then those people can avoid riding the hyperloop?

Luckily we didn't use the same BS excuses to stop building planes...

>You can't actually expect that you wouldn't get sick the first minute after you enter the tube.

What? That's what 100% of the population expects when entering any vehicle. "Getting sick the minute they enter" is neither a common expectation nor a common occurence.

>Then imagine yourself having to remain there next 29 minutes and die!

Well, that escalated quickly.
Calling GLFW a "dead end" is misleading and unfair.

GLFW does not attempt to handle OpenGL for you, it handles windowing and input for you. I personally really don't want SDL anywhere near my projects because it imposes its own structure upon me. (I don't use Allegro, even for 2D code, for similar reasons.) I am simply not all that fussed by writing up a VBO handler and some pretty simple OpenAL code myself--it isn't difficult enough for me to warrant the huge blob of extraneous SDL stuff.
I'm pretty sure Angular uses these funky release names sarcastically.
Yeah, some people are still missing some of their apps. We're working on restoring the rest of them.
It's interesting that starting a new process in a signal handler is something you want to do. (I just searched and yes I understand fork() and exec() are spec'd by POSIX to be safe.) It seems like writing safe signal handlers is hard enough, making them multiprocess seems like a "now you have two problems" kind of thing.

I suppose if I am not mistaken you could go the pre-readdir() route and open a directory with open() and read it with read(). Probably a portability mess though.

LoL... Not likely. (For the curious: Lollipuff is our women's fashion startup from YC W13. Previously, I was a robotics and UHF RFID expert.)
Actually they would, with a NSL the Government can (and has been suspected of in the past) force a Service provider to remain operational, or not to do anything that would interfere with the collection of the data they are looking for.

Now I dont know if the NSA attempted that with Lavabit, or if Lavabit willfully ignored that demand, etc but the government does have that legal power.
And he's not even trying to hide it. "We currently have a large position". That means no longer purchasing, it has been done.

Anyone ascribing to efficient market hypothesis doesn't watch the market very much. Was Apple really worth several hundred billion more last year than it is now? Either it was extremely overvalued then, or it was extremely undervalued at < 400. Or both. There is nothing efficient about the market. It is volatile and driven very much by emotion on a day to day basis.

Regarding Buffett, he doesn't take over everything. He buys and sells a lot of stock where he doesn't take control, and he does very well doing that as well. Also, he's being doing it for a long long time. This isn't simply flipping 20 heads in a row when you've been doing it for 60+ years

But the problem for the next AMC is whether anyone would have been paying $0.25/month for them before they had "Breaking Bad" and "Mad Men". A la carte where everyone picks the 10-20 channels they currently watch at $1-$20/each instead of 100-200 channels at $0.25-$5/each means there really can't be another fledgling AMC who exploits their existing (cheap) position on the "dial" to build an audience with quality content and then demands more money.

Of course it seems a bit silly to be talking about channels these days. This problem will sort itself out somehow because I can't believe anyone who wants a "channel" to every device with a screen in the country won't be able to acquire one in a few years' time.

Clang only support a subset of the features that GCC has, so it is naturally easier to comprehend. Reading the user manual, more "tricky" GCC extensions is intentionally not implemented because they would be too hard to implement.

If you think this is good/bad for Clang/GCC, depend if you ever used said features, or if one prefer a smaller compiler which has less features.

Documentation.

Knowing that your question is always a google away (not a 'I hope someone asked this on StackOverflow' away) is important and I hope they improve in this arena.

That isn't what he said at all. In context, the point was clearly that while he was actively spending time with his daughter, he wanted to be spending time with his daughter. He never said anything about quitting his job so he could spend 24 hours a day with her. He simply said that while he was spending time with her, he should actually do it and not be on his phone instead.
This is like saying "the only thing that matters at this hotel is service". The challenge is hotels that go overboard at the expense of employees wind up with bad service anyway. There's a reason high end hotels treat employees well.

Similarly companies too crazy about short term shareholder value find that it takes committed employees to get long term results.

So you don't see a serious difference between narrowly-defined and broadly-defined snooping?

How about the different between narrowly-defined detention and wholesale just-in-case detention of everyone?

The two are directly analogous, in that scope makes all the difference in both cases. It's entirely possible to support detention of reasonably suspected criminals, and at the same time oppose formation of mass concentration camps. Nothing disingenuous about that.

That's precisely what I'm disagreeing with. Not everyone sees configuring a system as "merely tedious busy-work". I for one like setting things up. It might be frustrating, but there's also an enjoyable element of accomplishment when you overcome something frustrating. It might not be the kind of fun and challenging you're looking for, but please, try not to state state opinion as fact.

One man's tedium is another man's pleasure, as much as I too enjoy solving the bigger-picture problems. There's a reason both Gentoo and Arch exist :)
Elon Musk is probably at least millions of times more productive than the average human.

If you were to calculate the sum of gains and losses between Elon Musk and humanity, it would balance out that Elon Musk is overwhelmingly the creditor, and humanity is overwhelmingly the debtor.

I feel your pain. I've had platforms I loved killed twice for want of competent management: webOS and MeeGo (mainly in its harmattan avatar). And in the case of webOS I was an employee there, so I really feel your pain.

here are some random disjointed thoughts:
1) it ain't over til it's over.
2) even if it is over your Z10/Q10 still has a lot of life left in it. I still have and lovingly use my Nokia N9, and heck there are still people clutching to their Newtons!
3) it's not necessarily a smartphone duopoly. Not just because of Windows Phone, Tizen etc but also for the emergence of smaller, community powered niche devices like Jolla Sailfish and Ubuntu. There will always be a ticket out of the "duopoly"...I for one can't wait to get my Jolla.

Can I ask why you believe AAPL is undervalued? I think the exact opposite, at its current market cap you could buy both Google and Amazon. The iphone popularity has already crested and is steadily losing ground to android, itunes is losing ground to other digital stores and streaming media.

I agree with the parent. The term "Release Candidate" comes with certain expectations, including but not limited to: feature freeze, API freeze, and few(er) serious bugs. Calling Bootstrap 3 in its current state an RC is misleading to developers and may adversely impact the project's reputation.

With that said, I've been using the 2.x releases on multiple projects over the past year. Thanks for all of your hard work!
Thanks! Great to hear it!
I've been using the WIP for a few months and the changes in RC2 are looking really great. I am curious as to what the ramifications will be on the learning curve of people really making the most of the new grid system and how it can be way more dynamic by calling different columns at different snap points. I didn't really "get it" right away, but after figuring it out I can see how it's a huge step forward.
I built out some webservers with apache on it for a dev team once. I just set it up with an index.html that had "FOO" in it just to prove that you could point a browser at it and you got "FOO" back. Well a week later they configured them behind a load balancer VIP so they wound up on a public IP address. That was fine, but now you could them from the real world. The mistake happened because that IP address had been used as part of a pool for the public website and it was still configured on the networking gear doing dynamic dns for the front end website. As soon as the IP came back up again the DNS appliance decided that cluster was 'back in service' and started handing out its IP address in response to www.<a large internet retailer>.com. This resulted in a sev1 ticket coming back titled "customers reporting 'foo' on the website". Imagine how much worse it could have been if I hadn't kept it professional and used some more controversial text there...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but zerocoin is essentially a formal, decentralised tumbling service, right? It runs parallel to bitcoin and people on bitcoin can choose to use it or not.

Under my scenario, if you used zerocoin, and anybody else using the service wasn't whitelisted, you would be blacklisted, since there would be a chain of coins being sent from non whitelisted addresses to yours. So it would just be up to you not to use it.

The key is at what stage the Government becomes involved. If they implemented this sort of proposal right now, they would just say "if you're using zerocoin, you'll likely be blacklisted- tough luck". If everyone starts using zerocoin, including all legitimate businesses, and then they try to regulate it- then people would have more power.

Pinterest’s 25 edge cases
The massive advantages that Google has include over a decade of data on the pages that people actually visited in response to a specific query as well as having an in-memory index of the public web, parts of which are updated on the order of seconds to minutes.

I wonder if there is a viable business in maintaining an in-memory & up-to-date index of the public web & selling access to it, with a pricing model that scales according to the amount of computation you are doing on it.
Which is not the same thing as node's modules. There's nothing stopping me from making global variables within a module "pattern". Contrast that with a node.js module where even if a variable declaration leaves out a 'var' by accident, the global will not show up in anything that imports that module. I.e., there is no chance of name collisions because each node module gets its own unique and clean global scope.

I concur on the documentation. I spend as much time reading the code to understand the documentation as I do reading documentation to understand code. That seems perverse to me.
I disagree about a few things you said... first - that Bakersfield and Fresno are unimportant. Each has a population of around 1 million. (Bakersfield city limits has 362k, but the metro area is nearly 1 million.) That's pretty significant.

So - why compare these things? We can have both, especially if Hyperloop can be done for so little capital and so quickly. Even if we got it, though, it would not replace what CA HSR is going to provide. It would be the express line. It has no city center terminus in either LA or SF. Rather than have to take BART or something from the Hyperloop terminus to downtown SF, why not have special cars in the SF CA HSR station that go straight to the Hyperloop terminus - in the same car - one that is designed to seamlessly be transferred from a HSR car onto the Hyperloop. It would make the Hyperloop more useful and cool.
It's universal for prosecutors to increase the penalties sought when a defendant exercises their Sixth Amendment rights; why should the First be any different?
I'm very happy to see this dropping. Specifically the rewrite of ngAnimate and changing to saner (IMO) class conventions `.foo.ng-enter` and `.foo.ng-enter-active` instead of the previous use of `.foo-enter-setup` and `.foo-enter-start`.
> if it was purely up to CA I think it would just run along the coastline.

Actually, the only two cities it connects to in the Central Valley are among the largest population centers in California: Fresno (#5 largest city in CA) and Bakersfield (#9 largest city). By comparison, there aren't any large population centers southwest of San Jose until you're almost to LA with maybe the exception of Salinas.

Plus, if you want to swing up to Sacramento (#6 largest city) at a later point, then going inland makes more sense.

The whole thing built out with all phases connects 9 out of 10 of the largest cities in CA (Oakland is the only one left out).
It's not really more/less features so much as it is a tradeoff. LLVM is extremely powerful in that it lets you write front-ends for many different languages without worrying about the complexities of native code gen. Likewise, it lets you write backends for other target platforms (i.e. JavaScript), allowing you to gain the ability to port those languages to new platforms easily. Thirdly, you can write optimizers for LLVM's intermediate representation and gain the benefit across most/all front-end languages and back-end platforms.

GCC, on the other hand, seems to have a much narrower focus but with a lot more optimizations and weird extensions.
Make: a faster, simpler and more-maintainable alternative to Grunt
Taking on the model of moving fast, breaking things no doubt.

I am surprised by some of the inclusions such as overhauled grid system to include four tiers instead of the original three of RC1.

To change something so fundamental does seem more like a beta feature than RC1 and no doubt people who've built 2x to 3x converters will be a little more anxious now.

That said I'm sympathetic to the fact that if you're going to change fundamentals or pivot, now's the time. Looking forward to more releases and feature stability.
