We would love to collect data like this. It would be especially interesting to measure the variability of network performance over time. (We did some measurements of I/O performance over time a while back -- http://blog.scalyr.com/2012/10/16/a-systematic-look-at-ec2-i...)

I don't know exactly what form this effort might take, but if you're interested in discussing further, drop me a line -- steve@ our domain.
I sorta hate to break it to you but this happens to songs all the time. Greatest example ever: Springsteen's 'Born In the USA'.
...and not having to set up a mining operation yourself, manage coins/wallets/etc.
CoinLab has done exactly that for free-to-play games. Run their client, which mines bit coins when idle, and you earn free in-game currency. I do not think it's been particularly popular so far. It also causes a ton of user confusion and finger pointed at "greedy devs trying to get users to mine coins for them".
Sadly serverbear is abysmally slow every time I go to use it. It would be a great tool otherwise.

He didn't. Negative numbers have been around for millenia.
I moved the mouse very slightly at the edge, which caused all the particles to eventually settle in two separate spinning groups. Then I started making fast circles around one of the groups, and once the group started following the pattern, added a slowly moving center of rotation towards the other undisturbed group. This caused it to slowly move towards the stationary one, until they collided, each ripping from the other, until they merged.
DNS Resolution: A Primer
From what I've seen in enterprise java, SOA tends to just refer to internal services at a very low level of granularity - basically seems to be OOP with classes described as services. (This may well be a mangling of a good concept.)

Governments routinely force their citizens to use a currency under state control. One of the ways they do this is by insisting that taxes are paid in the national currency.
Nope.

I hate this page. Description - None!??

What the heck is it?
I'm not sure that understanding this is that predicated on cultural familiarity. I'd argue the majority of its meaning comes from the fact that it "breaks the rules in order to be overly brief." The syntax being intentionally wrong, bad, and clumsy coincides with the fact that it's often used to describe absurd things and situations. Clumsy syntax = slightly belligerent rhetoric? I could be wrong, my main idea of a idiom is a proverb or figurative parallel illustrating a concept.
It's not really practical. The most your gpu time is worth is whatever it costs someone else to set up a gpu cluster and do the same thing a thousand times more. Those people will eventually drive the price down to barely above power costs. That happened to bitcoin.
> We still have not taken the step of building a wikipedia page for our startup, and instead have continued to focus on making it notable.

Wikipedia admin here. This is the right way to go about it, though I would add "making it notable" doesn't just include product work, but includes generating press about your startup. Especially if you can get something more mainstream than tech press like TechCrunch, The Verge, etc.
I don't believe it is an outright reduction. It looks like the fine was $1 million PLUS $350,0000. The potential reduction comes from E-sports paying the $350,000 and complying with the terms of the agreement over the next ten years. If they pay and comply, then whatever unpaid balance on the $1 million fine will be forgiven.

I suppose what I am suggesting is something along the lines of littering the DNA with lots more "stuff that does nothing" that has a very small edit distance from "encodes the creation of a protein that kills the cell."

So while you might normally have:

... ACGATTACGATACG ....
---|--------------|---
|
useful protein

You would now have:

... ACGATTACGATACG TACC TACC TACC TACC TACC TACC TACC TACC TACC ...
---|--------------|----|----|----|----|----|----|----|----|----|---
| |
useful protein pointless proteins

The trick with the TACC being that perhaps TAAC, AACC, and TAGC all, rather than encoding a pointless protein, each encode a protein that will kill the cell. Any random damage to TACC will have a high chance of producing a sequence that will be deadly to the cell.

So each time you get whacked by a gamma ray, you spin a die and see what it hits. Maybe it hits a naturally occurring sequence like 'ACGATTACGATACG' and maybe you get cancer. Or maybe it hits one of those artificially inserted TACC segments that is designed to usually break in such a way that the cell is killed. Add more and more TACC segments and you become less and less efficient, but the odds get stacked more in your favor the more you add.

It would kind of be the "electric fence" approach to arresting unintended behavior (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_Fence).

I suspect actually pulling this off isn't something that is doable in the foreseeable future, since it would require being able to make strong statements of the nature "This segment of DNA should have no effect", and similar, but it makes sense in my head at least ;)
awesome! kickstarter maybe?
Yes, comparing "cores" across providers is an extremely sketchy proposition. Obviously not all CPU cores are created equal, the motherboard and RAM configuration has an impact, etc. Worse, there are a variety of different models out there - reserved cores, CPU prioritization, bursting, etc. -- which can't be summarized in a single number. Not to mention that performance may not be consistent over time or from machine to machine, and on at least some providers, supposedly-equivalent instances may be running on different hardware with different performance.

We're open to suggestions here. For now, we've noted this caveat in the blog post and in a couple of places on the page, and we deliberately didn't include any sample queries that sort by cores.
I Am Glow
Just so you know: I have a decently high rep on SO - 21K - and have a highish rep on Programmers.SE. And I spent a fair amount of time on Meta.SO back when unicorns were a good deal more popular. I am not writing this off of a single bad experience: I'm writing this based off about 2 years experience. It's a system - designed at that - that rewards simple questions with simple answers, and is particularly susceptible to wrong answers that are popularly believed. The exception is the nuance and the depth (Clearly, Jon Skeet is part of the exception. :-) ).

I don't particularly care that nuanced qualitative questions can lead to debate. Most things that are interesting and matter can be debated; that's why they are interesting- because there are different perspectives and education and experience can provide the nuance to help with choice. That's why I consider /r/programming a better place to find fruitful discussion than StackOverflow...

Anyway. Hope that helps you in your thought processes.
Has my email account been hacked?
No.

If somebody sues me, and I offer to pay my debt in bitcoins, the court may refuse to recognise this payment. But if I pay in the national currency, the court is required to recognise this payment.

This is part of the legal system in every country. It's one of the mechanisms governments use to force citizens to use the national currency.
Linked to not equal to marketing, it's as simple as that. The idea that only marketed content gets traffic is simply absurd and nothing you can say will convince me otherwise because I simply know better from nearly a decade and a half experience building websites. Beyond that we'll just agree to disagree.

Here's an interesting idea: drones as really autonomous entities. A script with a bitcoin account sells aerial imagery to mapping companies and uses the proceeds to pay for its own hosting and for the upkeep of its drone. It's a company that really lives "in the cloud(s)".

This is so cool.

I'd really like to do a drone services startup focusing on municipal govt's and agriculture. It seems like you could solve a lot of surveying/permitting issues for cities. With ag, special cameras can give farms a lot of data (I know this is being done already). I think becoming sort of the "Waste Management for Drones" could make a lot of money.

Bitpay is when the customer pays in bitcoin. But to get bitcoin you still need to exchange for USD somewhere. And that's where the cost of exchange risk comes in.
The tooling approach is, it seems, more attractive because it adds a bit of safety at a moderate cost.

There's one cost you've ignored: feedback time. A type-checker can be run on the fly with tools such as flymake. Debugging tools and tests are (orders of magnitude) slower to run and thus dramatically slow down the feedback cycle between bug detection and bug fix. This is especially prevalent when doing major refactoring work and the code is a long way from working again.
You're still missing the point. I'm not comparing wsws to Reuters or the AP. I'm comparing it to the news outlets that take reuters and AP reports as sources which they then use to write their own articles.

I want to say that I hate Digital Ocean as well. I am a University of Waterloo Computer Science student. I have CS 458 (computer security) this term. We had an assignment last month asking us to get all the users permission without knowing their password for a web app. Then I wrote a script. The use of the script is to use curl one time per second (may be longer, due to the connection issue) to guess all the different combination of the password. Of course I was using that script on Digital Ocean!

After running it two days, I receive an email saying their router find out that I was doing the DDOS and ask me to stop it. I stop the script immediately and reply them my reason telling them that I was doing it for University Assignment and I don't know that I was not allowed to do this. However, my account got suspends anyway. No matter how I send emails to beg them to give back my files in the server (I use the server for emacs and tmux to write codes for school projects), they just told me that sorry but my account is suspend. No matter how I beg them, all I received back from the email is just a max two line saying that my account is suspend. They do tell me that it suspends forever. After several days they deleted my account with all my files in it. Now I have no ways to get any of my files back! I feel ... so angry and hate so much about the digital ocean.

Is this how a normal American Company does? Will a normal American Company suspends customers account because that customer use it to do university work? I can understand it suspends me if I violate any laws but I was just doing an assignment and not violates anything. It also ignore the apology from the customer. Any evidence the customer provides is ignored gets well. Even that after couple days, digital ocean deleted that customer's account with all his files permanently!

This is my story. This is the reason why I hate Digital Ocean!!!!!!
Yeah, it makes it hard for those of us with a lot of audio and video to deal with. We still need to be on Amazon for those assets, though would very much prefer to have them available through a locally mounted filesystem on our Digital Ocean instances.
Apropos is defined by Oxford as "very appropriate to a particular situation." That is the sense in which I meant it — in this situation, it makes a lot more sense to ask about reasons against rather than reasons for, since "I felt like it" is a perfectly reasonable explanation for the decision in the absence of reasons not to.

It is true that "appropriate" could have been used instead, but I chose a different word and I believe I used it correctly, thank you very much.

Tech quote of the freaking year.
Does the initial market exploration and proving that they did count for nothing? They built the groundwork for a successful company, and (at least in spirit) I think they deserve to share in that.

It's pretty hard to tie down when the "majority" of the value was created. The majority of the "success" may have happened after they left. I have no idea of the specifics.

In these cases there are often two types of "right". Contractually "right" and morally "right". These founders probably deserve a lot more than they got. That's just the breaks when you get yourself involved with the wrong venture capitalists.
What are some use cases that you have for running your own kernel? I just can't think of much need of running a custom kernel. There's a lot of different kernel versions to choose from. For subsystems like process scheduling, you can just load your own kernel module to change that.

The attack on the RC4 biases (both kinds) is very simple: it just involves collecting samples and using basic statistics to predict the most likely keystream byte.

Because the Fluhrer-McGrew digraph biases recur through the keystream, successive samples don't require a TLS session setup and key exchange; you can reuse a single session to collect many samples. So, while the digraph biases provide a weaker signal, the attack on them actually runs faster.

Net-net, from what we know now, RC4-drop-1024 would have had no effect at all on the security of TLS. That could change, but when I look at the digraph biases, I think it's the digraph biases that are going to get more effective.

Because reasons
Most (not all) engineering managers are on the same ladder as their reports. And while it's true that managers generally have a higher tech level on that ladder than non-managers, they do not have a higher salary than other engineers at their tech level.
Huh. This new form of "because" in an actual, intended-to-be-grammatically-correct sentence sounds weird to me and I don't think I personally use it at all. Isn't it just "because of" without the "of" when people are in a rush, typing on a tiny keyboard or just plain lazy? Or when the intent is to construct a witty, purposefully broken sentence?
Many job ads are written by HR, based on a list of technologies that developers naively provided them. Some of our job ads have technologies that we briefly used once in an experiment that was never more than 20% complete, while MongoDB (which we use in production) isn't currently listed.3

It's a case study of managers by managers for managers, of course everything went well.

It would take an epically shitty manager to not be able to sweep that kind of failure under the rug and not manage to blame some programmers / QA for their failure.

One thing I would recommend though is to spread out their 360-degree annual reviews into a daily 1 degree review which will net Google an additional 5 degrees of review every year.

My thinking is a little different than most of those who have commented...probably because I'm a bootstrapper.

After reading all of these comments - my thought process goes like this: If the founders output from 11 years ago is worthless, why isn't the investors' money from 11 years ago equally worthless?

If the founders' sweat equity didn't create value, the early VC money didn't either. Should the early VC's lose their investment, or just the founders?

I'm not naive, I understand that these deals are structured this way...I'm just saying that the structure is bullshit (imo).

How to hire an awesome marketing person: 7 points for non-marketers

While it was unfair of me to bring up the passport thing, you completely missed the point of my post.
You really can't think of any possible reason why they wouldn't want to tell you what triggered their fraud checks?

Because it's pretty obvious to me that people would create throwaway accounts to probe for all the fraud checks, then start creating abusive accounts.
So, you violated their ToS, specifically that you're not allowed to do things that are abusive. Attempting to bruteforce a login is abusive. You admitted that you were in fact doing something against their ToS to them in a ticket. They don't know it's for a university assignment and chasing down your professor to confirm it is an assignment isn't something that's reasonable for you to expect them to do.

You violated their Terms, plain and simple. They don't owe you a second chance or your data.

As a side note, surely a CS major knows they should keep backups of every thing. Better yet, shove your text/code files into git and have backups AND versioning.
