The scenario you outlined is exactly the point of a TPM. In the case of an "MPAA movie server", exactly how would they verify the remote attestation? As I understand, they'd need to have some way of verifying your key. You would have had to opt-in to such a feature, right? The simple act of having a TPM doesn't give arbitrary third parties the capability to verify remote attestation. Unless I'm missing something critical.

On Secure Boot, you're right that a clone works. But if your device doesn't have an open Secure Boot system, like WinRT, then that device is DRM'd up as the OS can fully decide which programs to allow. An insecure clone means another device, but point taken.
Hmm...I think Baxter will surrepent (http://prevaricate.me/?p=666) into my room though...
"Even professional investors, who devote their lives to following the market, only occasionally beat the market."

There are lots of investors and traders/speculators who beat the market. I think this is one of the main reasons people persist in trading despite reading articles/posts like the one of this thread. The key thing these people don't understand, though, is that the number of investors who do beat the market (at any given level of outperformance) is no greater than what is predicted by investment decisions governed solely by chance. In other words, there is no or at least very little evidence that the people who beat the market do so by making use of _skill_ (there is some evidence that skilled investors can expect to outperform the market by a percentage point or so per annum, i.e., small outperformance and few of these "skilled" investors). The statistical analysis of the performance of investors over last half century and more is basis of so-called "efficient market theory" (EMT), which most misunderstand. EMT does not say that investors can't outperform the market. This is obviously false, since many do. EMT says basically that investors should not expect to be able to use skill to outperform market; if they in fact outperform it is the result of chance, and there was equal chance of underperforming the market.

I'm always amused at the number of people who read about EMT and discard it as "obviously false". Do they really think that high-powered intellects have been analyzing this stuff for decades and come up with something that can be rejected by a man-on-the-street as "obviously false"? Hmm, perhaps the man-on-the-street is misunderstanding what they're saying. Two good sources to start with are Malkiel's classic _A Random Walk Down Wall Street_, and William Bernstein's dependable investing guide _The Four Pillars of Investing_.
The same logic applies from the OP's article. You are assuming in these situations that you know better than the entire brain trust and computational resources of every Wall Street firm that these "stocks of clear value" are underpriced.
Along these lines - I would find spending a lot of money on a domain a red flag as an investor

Perhaps, but would the air traffic be any worse than road traffic?

Say you had 5 flight levels each direction, so 10 'levels' in all. Would we have more than an order of magnitude more flight traffic than road traffic? I would argue no.
The most you should pay is the $10 or so to get the same domain name but with a different TLD.

Once you're up and running and generating revenue, then you can worry about paying for the .com.

(The price that the "domainer" is asking isn't going to come down. It comes him practically nothing (<$10/year) to hold onto the domain name -- which he'll definitely do now that he knows someone is interested -- since he is your only option if you really want it.)
I think a good way to structure a course would be to cover several problems from end-to-end: motivation (what you want to achieve), theory, data preprocessing, algorithm development, and finally setting up a "production grade" system that solves the problem.

In my experience learning ML, learning concepts in theory is good and all, but I never really understood the details until I had to implementing the algorithm.
I'm going to be a contrarian on this one.

Markets are clearly more efficient at the top (and all but the most inclined wont be running their own hedge funds). Buffetts, Paulsons, etc cannot just move into a position on a whim. They thus require more asymmetric information for a trade to make sense.

Inversely, smaller traders avoid the enormous position sizes that can make transacting difficult, and thus can benefit from increased mobility in the markets. This means less lucrative information advantages can be harnessed more easily. Additionally, there are inefficiencies that simply cannot be realized by large funds (see the Norilsk Nickel tender in 2011, "free" money for small investors: http://kiddynamitesworld.com/norilsk-nickel-russian-odd-lot-...).

I'll temper my entire statement by saying I agree with you for 99% of the population, but I do think people too easily punt on efficient market theory. I do believe the small, inclined trader can profit.

Obligatory reading: http://fitelson.org/proseminar/gettier.pdf

Gettier demolished the long held belief that Knowledge IFF Justified True Belief.

So be careful: epistemology can be a rabbit hole to the untrained logician.
I would be happy to go with that option, but I doubt the current owner will be reasonable about negotiating. (They seem to be a large scale professional domainer.)
5-7 years out? I bet Bezos also has teleportation on the radar for sometime in the 2200 timeframe. Why didn't he announce that?

All of this is nice, but until someone actually operationalizes this and announces that I can actually have something delivered to my house in 30 minutes, then this means little. As it stands right now, I find Amazon's promise of 2-day delivery to frequently fail (in the SF Bay Area, so a high customer density) and find their non-existent customer support to be frustrating. I would frankly be more excited if I could actually get my packages in 2 days right now than over the future prospect of 30 minute delivery.
your total domain related costs including. com must not exceed 50K per year once you are big, 10000 per year once you got a 7 figure investment and 1000 when you get traction and 100 when you dont have customers, all in usd.
I tried the same thing. I now play with C and Nimrod... And just doubled down on PHP. You'd be amazed at how powerful it can be in the right hands... Or not, as you're using Laravel ;)

Amazon Prime Air Drones Experience Problems and Start War with Obama Drones
I hate to think that my neighbor buying a hdmi cable means that my backyard will get a fly over by a camera enabled amazon drone. This does seem magical though.
But if that – the unstated assumption that the market is 100% efficient – is true, why do we see herd mentality in the stock market? (Why are SEC regulations in place to prevent runs on a stock?)

Is your claim that there is enough "smart" capital to more than counter whatever "dumb" capital exists, and that it is fruitless for individual investors to make any money by betting against moves that seem largely caused by "dumb" capital?

I'm not claiming I personally am smarter than every Wall Street investor combined. I'm claiming that every smart Wall Street investor combined might not have enough total capital to counter all the dumb investors out there, and hence there's money on the table.

I don't know whether my claim is true, but the article doesn't address the effect of "dumb" money.
I agree with my sibling, would love to know about your Clojure workflow/arch more!
I find it disappointing that the majority of posts here only want revenge with long sentences or even death, and only a minority want to change the system or put systems in place to make this less likely to happen again.
Dealing with other lower-DPI screens is what I thought my problem would be, but the biggest issue I've found with moving to a Retina MacBook Pro are the drawbacks of the technology being so new.

Compared with my old CCFL-backlit desktop LCD, the Retina Display's backlight is far less uniform, and whites have a more readily perceptible color shift across the screen. It's not enough to qualify for a replacement (trust me, I tried), but it's nonetheless distracting enough to make me want to do most of my design work on my standard-DPI monitor.
UPS trucks would be a lot better target. More then 5 lbs worth of stuff in the back of one of those.
Wait, let me get this straight: It's wrong for them to use HN to complain about their bad on-line experiences in hopes of getting people to change software for the better. But it's ok for you to complain about your bad on-line experiences in hopes of getting people to stop talking about their bad on-line experiences.

What makes your experience more important than theirs? If we're going to have complaints here, I'd rather they be towards fixing things than to get people to pretend to stop noticing problems.
Nothing in your response excuses you throwing race into the mix.

Race has nothing to do with it. Economic standing does.

Yes, blacks and hispanics suffer disproportionately for the very reasons you cite, but they do not suffer because they are black or hispanic ... they do so because they are disproportionately poor.

Rather than focusing on the real issue, insane sentencing for crimes common in poor neighborhoods, you throw race into the mix, which adds nothing and simply pisses people off.
AAPL @ 35.72 (430% gain)
TIVO @ 8.48 (51% gain)
NFLX @ 33.02 (1008% gain)

I bought all of these at the above price points because I am in tech, have a strong sense of where things are going to go, and believed these companies (at the time that I bought them) nailed what the future was (and is) going to be. I obviously did so before others realized that they had, in fact, nailed it :)

I get that I could have lost out, might have gotten lucky, etc. But I would argue that you CAN figure out that a company has really figured out something new, figure it out before others, and then bet on them... and win.
This is slightly OT, but I figured this thread is a good pool of Go people =).

What books/resources would you guys recommend for a beginner to learn Go?

I'm coming from a (predominantly) Python background.

I've seen Mark Summerfield's book (he also wrote the the PyQT book and Programming in Python) on Go, which seems pretty good, and I think I'll take a shot at the official tutorial.

Is there anything else you guys would recommend?

Also, is it just me, or is the word "go" hard to search for - I know there's golang, but I'm always worried I'd miss things, if people just use "go" when they write.
Looks like a nice recipe, but not a contender in this context. Needs more steak, bacon, and lead weights. I know of a food truck that sells a pork belly bánh mì that might be worth a look, if only it didn't leave out the pâté.
There are plenty of ways to generate a consistent return with high dividend stocks, but do they outperform the market as a whole (eg an index fund)?
> I have a bug, sure, but an obvious bug that will be fixed very quickly.

People say the same thing about null pointer exceptions, but null pointer exceptions are a huge problem in practice. Every bug is "obvious" in retrospect.
AppointmentReminder.com wanted $30k. AppointmentReminder.org was available for $8.95. You'll note that I'm still #1 on Google due to the exact match bonus, so mission accomplished plus $29,991.05 in my pocket. This is still an attractive option if you're doing something where brandability isn't all that important.

If you're going for something a bit more brandable, there are plenty of domains in the sub-$2k range which are at least as good as, say, Dropbox, Kabbage, Snapchat, etc etc, and probably many more which are not obviously attractive names but won't hurt your company at all (Twilio, Airbnb, etc).

There's also a virtually infinite number of NAMEapp, getNAME, NAMEnow, etc etc available on any TLD you care to name available for the registration fee. Many startups start that way.

Not to mention that the efficient market theory completely fails to explain the most basic boom-bust cycles:

I sold all my stocks and bought into crypto currencies since they're the next big thing. I even opened up a new credit card to leverage up since you can't get a proper margin account on Mount Gox. I'll be able to pay off my mortgage in a few months at this rate! I suggest everyone wait a couple of days and then do the same thing so that I'll have someone to sell to when I need to realize my profits.

Use whatever money you are willing to spend on a domain on the company instead. Given the current stage of the company, I strongly recommend the mindset of "anything greater than $0 is expensive". That mindset has kept me (I am also bootstrapping) from spending money on things that are not important in the short-term.

If you absolutely must get your desired .com domain, I would recommend finding a new name for the company that has an available .com. You might even find that you like the new name better.
As I remember, this was discussed sometime ago on HN. I dont remember exact link posted on HN but here is techcruch article of a start-up that was discussed on HN

I'd expect the "domainer" to increase his asking price if the different-TLD site seems to be doing well.

I don't see how access to medicine makes any difference to climate change policies. I'll leave that aside.

I don't quite get what you mean by "during their period of industrialization". Industrial progress does not work that way. One can't just pick a number (e.g. 25) and say India is 25 years behind the developed countries in its path to industrialization. Some Indians are still living in the stone age [1]. Others, such as the average Indian commenter on HN, is working on technology that we will all use, a couple of years down the line.

Whatever the case may be, I think you'd learn a great deal if you stayed in India for a couple of years. The recycling I have seen here is, in some ways, better than anywhere else in the world [2]. A few examples that you'll see commonly here: carry-bags and wrapping paper made of old newspapers, shoes re-soled using worn-out tractor tires, peddlers going door-to-door giving big discounts on new vessels, in exchange for old vessels, etc. People at various economic strata of society squeeze out every little bit of economic worth from every little thing.

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sentinelese_people

[2] On second thought, it's quite likely that many others of the so-called developing countries would recycle about as much as Indians do.
When I want to return something will a drone come by and pick up the return? because that has A LOT of value.

Imagine being able to order something on amazon just to 'try it out', you get an hour to make sure x part works, drone hangs around, and if it doesn't you drop it back in the tupperware and the drone flies it back to the fulfillment center and your card is never even charged
If we're talking about urban areas, and since most people in urban areas live in highrises, where would it even land on?

I'm sure there's a solution, it's incredibly fun to think about.

edit: Maybe install a landing pad by the window? People are allowed to install satelite receivers there right? Why not a small landing pad
I believe part of the accusations are that she actually tainted evidence. So testing her results would not be sufficient, you would need to test samples that she never had access to in the first place.
Seems like you could create a startup to help other people do the same thing.
I agree. I think $1000 is perfectly reasonable in almost any serious project, but anything higher is only rarely worthwhile.
Okay, then how does AOT works with C# templates? Really how? Do you have to pre-declare some known types ahead? (Or could it be that the AOT compiler scans all possible variants (doable since it's static language))?
Yes, and I'm one of those people. However, I basically don't drink because I drive. I have a 6 month old, if he's home I don't drink because I can't have more than a beer and run out if I need to. When he's at grandma's I'll drink, however I'm still conservative because I know I'm getting up early in the morning and can't drive hungover.

I know in my cousins area they have a keys-to-us service. You drive to the party or wherever and they drop off a driver to drive your vehicle with you in home. Why? Because it's cheaper than a cab because you only pay one way, and you can get where you're going on time because you don't have to wait for a cab, which on say New Years Eve won't be on time or even in the ball park.

It's foolish to believe that leisure will beat practicality. People will get automated cars because it means they can work on their commute. Forget the dash it's a desk. Or you could watch a movie. Heck, not only could you predrink for the party, you could drink whilst on your way there.

Or the kids out at the movies and you decided to have a few drinks. They call wanting to be picked up? No problem, just send the car.

You'd no longer have to pay for expensive downtown parking, you could either pay for it to park in a cheaper less convenient lot or you could have it drive home if it's a short distance.

Yes I like to drive, but I also like starting fires with a bow and stick... but I normally just use a lighter.
Lessons We Can Learn From The Adobe Hacking Incident
Set DPI scaling to get it to 2560x1440 "equivalent"? Not a general solution since so many apps misbehave, but if you're coding and spending most of the time in the editor, you get the extra real estate, plus the extra crispness in font rendering.
It's patently false the claim that individual investors generally don't beat the market, or that the ones that do only do so by chance.

Warren Buffet, a very famous investor you may have heard of, even mentions that he knows plenty of small individual investors who follow many tenets of the philosophy of value investing and they have consistently beat the market.

I, personally, have been individually investing, following the principals of value investing, knowing the companies I invest in, and asset allocation, diversification across industries, and I have slaughtered the market for over 20 years.

All the points he raised in the article are valid, but they read like pop culture one liners. If you are serious about investing I recommend reading Ben Graham's Intelligent Investor and Security Analysis, and follow along with Buffet's letter to shareholders.

Understanding the stock market takes time, and you won't find the answers in a 1000 word blog post.
I think you are underestimating the weight of the word "torture" here. I mean sure it can be better but torture? Really?
This seems like a cool technological problem to solve that is completely unnecessary. Is waiting a 1-2 days to receive something in the mail that big of a deal?
If you can get it at a steal, take it. Otherwise, a "perfect" domain is something to be purchased at a much later stage (e.g., Series B). Startups are all about priorities -- where to best spend your time and your cash -- and this is a perfect example of that.
Are you joking? I honestly can't tell.
She lied about her credentials once, what is to stop her from lying about her background again?

The risk posed by allowing her to walk free in society is too great; she should be indefinitely detained.
Can you explain? I don't understand. Why those numbers? Why not just $10/year regardless of company size? Or ($10 * numDomains) per year regardless of company size?
I'd take at as a good sign - it's something different from what you normally see here.
I'm curious why all these delivery vehicles use helicopter designs instead of blimps. Wouldn't the better safety and added flight time compensate for increased drag?
Denmark, like most of the rest of Scandinavia, has a mixed economy. A large portion of the economy is privately owned, but a large portion is also publicly owned. It is neither purely capitalist, nor purely socialist.
Well MySql and Sqlite are RDBMS databases. They stores data in tables in the form of rows. Basic purpose is to eliminate redundancy, storage of large data.

Sql ( Structure query language ) is language that used to extract data from RDBMS databases ( SELECT * FROM table )

NoSql is another philosophy of databases which store data in key-value pairs. The basic purpose of NoSql is to reduce complexity. MongoDB , Redis, Cassandra are few popular NoSql databases.
The idea of Christmas gifts falling down chimneys across the world in one evening isn't sounding so ridiculous anymore.
No, they built a shiny video and got it aired on a news program so they could get free media in December when people are buying Christmas presents. They also put the idea out there early so that (a) competitors will be seen as imitators and (b) it's easier to pressure the FAA if the regulations aren't what they want.

Given the target audience I wouldn't expect an in-depth coverage of how they're solving specific implementation problems. If you even get that info in the pre-launch coverage, it'll be in a totally different venue and much closer to release. Even if they've solved all the issues, they don't want to give out potentially trade secret info to competitors 18 months before launch and it'd go over the 60 Minutes' audiences' heads - while they're a smart crowd, they're not necessarily up on AI programming or robotics or whatever.

Indeed. My mother always told us that we should be thankful for all the beans and lentils we had when money was tight because when she was going to school, the really poor kids had Crisco sandwiches for lunch.

(And her mother spent time in a Siberian labor camp as a youth, so we'll all be eating supper at the table like a family, and not like a refugee, thank you very much.)
