You can see every single address on the blockchain, just not peoples wallets (Because the wallet contains address but most of the time no obvious link between those addresses can be made).

You can see these addresses and speculate. Also some members of the community keep track of famous Bitcoin users that are known to have accumulated over 100,000 coins.
We have to assume that our lives are public; and that we have no secrets from those who want to get them the most (i.e. bad actors). We are vulnerable and weak, and had better get used to the idea that we can be f*cked over at will by whosoever takes a fancy to the idea.
Not just that, he also seems to think that he invented Lisp's idea of code-as-data: "In most languages there’s a sharp distinction between programs, and data, and the output of programs. Not so in the Wolfram Language. It’s all completely fluid. Data becomes algorithmic. Algorithms become data. There’s no distinction needed between code and data." ( http://blog.wolfram.com/2013/11/13/something-very-big-is-com... )

Kinda funny considering how the Mathematica language is built on top of the M-expressions that lisp never bothered to implement.

Thousands of separate addresses, most of those coins still sit in their mined blocks. However it is likely Satoshi has all the addresses in one single wallet so that he could move them all at once if he wanted to. Satoshi's estimated wealth is between 500,000 and 1,000,000 coins.

It sometimes work well on mobile. I think the best approach is to build it in jQuery, if it doesn't perform well, figure out what's slow and replace it with pure DOM.

This generally results in replacing some jQuery calls in methods that get called a lot, e.g. touchmove, requestAnimationFrame, etc.
I don't believe it is. I have click-to-play for plugins, which means that JS runs without issue, but I have to specifically allow any plugins, e.g. Flash.

I get the same thing as parent when I visit -- black boxes -- along with an indication in my address bar that plugins have been blocked.

Looking further at the source on index.html, I see this:

soundManager.url = './'; // path to directory containing SoundManager2 .SWF file

So this is very obviously just a shell around a Flash file.
Of course, that's just a footnote. But they're calling forth a long tradition of an entire academic field, 'postcolonialism,'[1] which specifically discusses things like how currency, culture, and language were used by colonialist powers in order to subjugate native peoples in their colonies.

I will agree that they didn't provide very much argument there, and I'm not willing to say anything about Jeff's character, but demanding that people only speak English has a history.

It seems that whenever Wolfram makes these grandiose and dubious claims, there are always people cheering him on. The comments on his blog posts are always unending adulation. You sound just like those people.

I very much doubt that those of us who doubt just about all the marketing fluff that he exposes are just not understanding his genius. I have read parts of NKS, and I don't think it's all that fascinating other than "cellular automata produce pretty pictures, and there's no reason to try to understand why they do this." It's very cranky.

I think Stephen Wolfram is just a rare breed of socially successful crank. He scores high on the crackpot index, but not high enough to be completely discredited as a lunatic. His litigious nature and ability to wrangle the legal system in order to label everything "mine" is what keeps him in business.
Well, of course it's discriminatory. The purpose of a hiring process is to discriminate in favour of the kind of people you want to hire and against the kind of people that you don't.

I don't think this article really misses the point of the previous discussions so much as it argues that the issues raised in the earlier discussions are outweighed by the usefulness of a code portfolio as part of a hiring process. That's still debatable but it's something that reasonable people can disagree on.

The random element in backgammon is inconsequential: a good player will always beat inferior players over several games. What makes good players good is not that they know how to win when they have a good roll but the fact that with regular throws, each of their move is optimal, which guarantees a win over the duration of the entire game.

The same could be said of poker, where the element of chance appears to be huge but which doesn't matter over many games.

I had terrible memory problems using Python on larger graphs (1M+ V/E). Weird memory usage happened and even 64GB filled up fast.

For example, the everything is a dictionary approach that widely used NetworkX library utilizes was a horrible memory gobbler on large graphs. It sounds very nice in theory, works well on smaller graphs but is near useless for larger ones.

The best graph tool that I found for larger graphs was graph-tool which is heavily NumPy based.

When I write in C, at least I know where my memory goes.

I think the article points to an important point, but also a fundamental conundrum.

There's social capital and there's financial capital. If you have a lot of financial capital, your willingness-to-pay for social capital is higher. If you're poor, your WTP for social capital is lower.

However, if you take social capital off its pedestal (which this article attempts to do) it's value as a commodity decreases.

Ask HN: Is Evernote creating confusion with password reset e-mails?
Today I received an e-mail from Evernote that reads:

Subject: Your Adobe password may have been compromised, please don’t reuse it

Body: There were published reports recently of a security breach at Adobe that may have exposed private information, including Adobe passwords, email addresses and passwords hints of millions of users. The list of compromised Adobe accounts has been uploaded to the web. We compared this list to our user email addresses and found that the email address you used to register for an Evernote account is on the list of exposed Adobe accounts.

Evernote has not been compromised and is not connected to this incident, but if you used the same password for Adobe and Evernote, then you should change your Evernote password now.

Here are some additional tips for keeping your information in Evernote, and other websites, safe:

•
Avoid using simple passwords based on dictionary words
•
Never use the same password on multiple sites or services
•
Never click on ‘reset password’ requests in emails — instead go directly to the service
For additional security, you can set up Two-Step Verification for your Evernote account in Evernote Web Settings. For more information about Two-Step Verification, read our blog post:

http://blog.evernote.com/blog/2013/10/04/two-step-verification-available-to-all-users/

If you have any questions or concerns, Evernote Support is here to help.

Now, this caused me some initial alarm, until I read it completely.

What does everyone else think? Is Evernote going to far overboard here or is their proactive e-mail welcome?
Chess boxing is a thing: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chess_boxing

Anyway, every one-on-one sport makes a reference to "human chess."
I spoke in the general case based on decades of first-hand observations in RL. There are obviously always exceptions to any general pattern or effect.

Also, not all projects have automated tests. Not all those with automated tests have 100% perfect coverage of everything that could possibly break. If anything I'd argue that the rise of unit test culture and TDD culture has actually increased the incidence of allowed sloppiness in some cases by folks having the mindset of, "I can deliver any diff I want. If no existing test failed, or the project has no tests, I did nothing wrong." This mindset too I've seen evidence of repeatedly.

And there's nothing wrong with a person being new to programming. I can only reiterate the core point of my original comment to which you replied.
People seem to think the difficulty in coding is the mechanical act of writing code. "If only you could draw code!", they cry, linking together a series of blocks to represent program flow. The thing is, even if you make a language where it's impossible to fail (every program does something, it's visually intuitive when a program isn't valid), it still doesn't necessarily do the right thing.

The difficulty in programming isn't the mechanical act of writing code; we have copy-paste for that. The problem is having a mental model of the program execution, and mapping it to the real-world problem. This is the difference between good and bad programmers, and it applies to the population at large.

Case in point: I'm working with some soon-to-be grads from a CS program. In Java, one of them instantiated a class, and set an attribute of that instance. Elsewhere they instantiated a new instance, and tried to read the value back. And they couldn't understand why the value wasn't set, Portal-style, in their new instance. This guy, who has been in school for 4 years for CS, also couldn't figure out why it made sense to make specific shapes (circle, square, triangle) children of an abstract Shape class. He could, very easily, add a Search bar to an Android app because he had seen a tutorial on how to do it - but making the bar do anything was a tremendous feat, because it wasn't just the mechanical repetition of some pattern.

Even with experienced (>5 years) programmers, I've seen some really terrible debugging where it was clear the person didn't have a mental model of the code. They never really got any benefit from GDB, because when they looked at the internal state of the program they just shrugged and said "Yeah, looks right". And they owned the codebase. This was their code, and they couldn't reason about it.

After all that ranting, my point is: you can make it easier to write some program, but you can't make it (appreciably) easier to write the program that you need.
It is clearly false. Derwood Hodgegrass is unbelievable for a name even before websearching it.

Education startups do not appear to succeed because it takes too long to measure their success. You can't just look at graduation rates and senior test scores: you're producing people who will be building and maintaining things for some 30 years, then managing and planning for some 30 more, and you need data points from this entire time span.

We're only really just starting to get big pictures from the changes implemented in the 1960s. It's too early to say very much about the things implemented later on, and we essentially have no data at all on today's startups. That's why they don't seem to succeed: we can't even really know if they're succeeding or not.

My daughter hates PE, but she's just been peer pressured into wanting to learn chess - at her first wet break time in her new class, half the girls sat down and started playing, and she felt left out.

That (along with watching the World Championship) has got me back into the game after not really having played it for about 30 years.
Does not really matter, they are divisible and the ones that are in circulation define the market cap.

But I imagine the person that deleted the wallet back then is pretty pissed with himself now-a-days.
Hah rich families are usually rich because they spear-headed a manufacturing industry or rose to political power. Yes, their CHILDREN may not deserve the wealth, but they earned it.

Bitcoiners are getting rich for designing a pump-and-dump scam & passing it along. It's called a pyramid scheme. You make a pitch that sounds convincing and then shop it out through "Multi-Level Marketing" strategies.

Why do Bitcoiners believe so much in a currency that allowed the originator to pull so much wealth out of thin air?

Say we estimate conservatively and say the Bitcoin ecosystem is only worth what was put into it. Well, now the founders own like 1/4 of all that money, for doing nothing but coming up with a convincing sounding scheme ("ummm... call it deflationary people will think that sounds intellectual"). A currency is not a currency if it is so distorted that it is radically reorganizing the wealth of those who convert to it.
The byline must have been changed sometime in the last 20 minutes. It was a woman before.
I agree about the fairness. I personally don't even have a GitHub account, because I have little use for one. My code falls to at least 95% in one of two categories: code I wrote for other people for money which I am not allowed to share or code I wrote for myself for a very specific purpose where no fitting solution already exists and that has little to no value for anyone but me. Sharing the latter would mean investing time in cleaning up and documenting things although nobody apart from me is ever going to use it. I don't see that as a good use of my time just to gain bragging rights.

"Just please don’t send us proprietary code that you have written because we don’t want to be sued by your former company."

This is the gist of the problem. The last time I did any serious development unencumbered by IP constraints was 15 years ago. Anything indicative of what I write professionally, I can't send you.

If you are fine with ruling me out of your hiring process (and everyone in a similar situation to me) that is fine. When I'm hiring, I don't like to restrict my pipeline that much.

Maybe this is my own biases showing, but it seems like the main proponents of the Github hiring practice are folks who don't have a lot of experience writing software. For inexperienced developers, I can think of nothing better than a github profile to prove your worth, but nearly everyone who has written a lot of software will have been encumbered by IP agreements at some point in their career and I'm never surprised when someone says they can't show/talk about something they've worked on.
My first thought ^^
Yes, absolutely - but it's a notable difference from the fixed game-tree state/totally known information of games like Chess and Go.
"Apple’s iOS7 support of JavaScript inline with your Objective-C code validates JavaScript as the leading (and only) non proprietary language that is supported within the iOS development environment by the device manufacturer."

Since when is Objective-C proprietary? Apple's given it a few non-standard extensions (i.e. blocks) but that doesn't make it a proprietary language. GCC and Clang are open source.

So, the social and economic context of FOSS, especially in light of things like DHH's article about how he doesn't believe in paid contribution to FOSS (despite, well, being paid to contribute to RoR) and Chris Anderson's post about requiring a GitHub account is certainly a worthy topic of discussion.

However, throwing around random Marxist buzzwords like "hegemonic control" and "commodity fetishism", and accusing Jeff Atwood of being an "unapologetic white supremacist" for a post that could be best described as Anglocentric, is a really pretty awful way of convincing anyone but those who already agree with you.

It appears that the author, rather than trying to improve anything, is merely trying to improve her own social capital in Marxist academic circles.
I know several industrial physicists who use it very heavily.
We made the tough decision to only support newer devices. We know it's not going to work for everyone, but the reality is that HTML5 animations and touch interactions don't feel good enough on old devices. We really wanted to make a framework that was looking towards the future, starting to take advantage of the increased power in newer devices.

There are a lot of good solutions out there that have better older device compatibility, like jQuery Mobile, which are probably a better fit if you need to support them.
Off the top of my head, if you're looking for deep two-player strategy with zero chance element, besides Go there's Othello (Reversi), Hive, Checkers, and Khet. If you're willing to put up with some chance, Backgammon and Battle Line can be very satisfying. For more than two players, take a look at Puerto Rico (finite but negligible chance) and Diplomacy.
No. If you delete the wallet, the contained Bitcoins make poof.

You basically delete the private key and won't be able to sign a transaction with it ever.
> By that logic wait-staff at the Waffle House are also enriching themselves.

I think you're missing the point very slightly. The point is not that RMS is living the high life; the logic goes like this:

1. FOSS is unpaid labor.
2. RMS only works on Free software.
3. Money is needed to live.
4. RMS is alive
5. Contradiction: RMS must make money somehow, therefore, FOSS is
not entirely unpaid.

Note that this works for the Waffle House as well, but there's no contradiction, as their waged labor is obviously paid, so Step 1 is different.

I don't think that many people here would disagree with this, 'social capital' is a pretty well-understood concept.
If you do the coding test before interviewing the candidate, you are wasting the time of many candidates who will be screened out for being insufficiently hipster, having Windows on their resume, and similar non-coding related reasons.
