No, on the contrary!

It's a packers vs. mappers question.

The packers collect stamps, and when asked whether the pen falls on the Moon, get out the stamp that says that pens don't fall in space.

The mappers will apply the physics model, the formula, and come out with the right answer (or approximation) corresponding to the right situation.

That's a big problem with packers: you teach them stuff, but they retain only half of it, forgetting the applicability conditions.
"Nothing can go faster than light!" Only material stuff, and only in the vacuum. But there are mediums where light will go slower than a walking human. "There's no perpetual motion machine!" Right, only when you consider a CLOSED system. There's no physical entity smaller than the Universe that's a closed system. Even black holes have inputs AND outputs! And so on.
You may have misunderstood me. Barter transactions and foreign currency transactions are perfectly legal. At that point you have no dollar income, so you wouldn't have to pay taxes _except_ for the fact that you do have to pay taxes on the dollar equivalent for those transactions.

Provisions like those (together with legal tender laws) are necessary to prevent people from abandoning the "official" currency wholesale. Thus it seems that denominating taxes in a currency is a huge negative for a currency _in and of itself_.

Edit: after reading further, I think I see the disconnect. I was thinking purely in terms of income taxes and sales taxes/import duties. For taxes in absolute terms, like property taxes or luxury taxes, then the government demands a certain number of dollars, which does mean I need to get that money, even if in my day-to-day life I don't use it, which creates a demand for the finite resource of US dollars. Still, the federal government in the US, anyway, does not demand any taxes of this nature, so it doesn't seem to follow logically that the taxes relate to the value.

What is recognition? What are intentions? These terms are void of meaning outside of human context. So if intelligence is defined around those human-centred terms (that are even too vague to account for human-specific intelligence[1]), surely nothing will ever be considered intelligent but a human being.

This is cool, but if you had a webcam in the first place, why not just stream it on the local network?

appear.in seems to be exactly the same a vline.com, or perhaps it's the other way around(?).

I kind of thought they were the same service for a second, but when I tried visiting vline.com again it was not redirected.

They seem to be offering the exact same service using WebRTC, facing the same problems of browser compability.

It will be fun to see how they both evolve.

I sometimes think everybody's still afraid there'll be another AI Winter (and/or that the first one hasn't ended yet), and are therefore anxious to come up with a new name for what they're doing every so often as sort of a pre-emptive dodge.
Maybe the next time try to convince them that you're a valuable guy, they gave you hard problems to solve and you did a great job, but its possible that they were expecting something different.

People don't get hired only for technical skills, they get hired for a lot of reasons.

Don't take it too serious, try in another company were your skills are valuable!

These people need to make money selling the actual phone. Comparing Nexus pricing makes no sense (well, it does of course from the consumers perspective...)
Most companies are confused when it comes to hiring. The process is usually like 'WE NEED MORE PEOPLE' but no one does the hard work to actually define roles, so the search becomes extremely generic based on a single skill; also, its usually somewhat divorced from the person who said 'we need to hire' in the first place.

Now when they company determines they are 'ready' to hire and interview, again, they are completely clueless. They've heard rumours that google uses all these algorithmic puzzles, and because google is cool, thats what they should do to. Rarely do these puzzles even remotely resemble what the day to day experience required to do a good job is.

So they give you some random puzzles they find on the internet, and some people fail and some people do well.

Then they 'regroup' and say 'THIS GUY DID REALLY WELL on the PUZZLES' and everyone else agrees; but then something interesting happens. Since there was no set of criteria to judge a candidate against, because the roles are very generic and ill-defined, its almost impossible to tell if you would be a 'good fit'.

So, while huddled up, someone in the group says 'YEAH HE WAS GOOD, BUT I"M NOT SURE HE WOULD BE A GOOD FIT HERE' - and everyone else tends to agree because what exactly is a good fit? No one really knows.

They say "OK LETS KEEP LOOKING", rinse and repeat.

Its MUCH harder to move forward with a candidate than it is to just say 'next'.

Dont take it personally, just keep pwning interviews, and wait for the right person to realize that you are legit.
Oh it works both way for sure! I don't tell about my grandfather because well my grandmother is lot more tech friendly than he is! Anyway I understand what you mean, sorry about that.

Yes, software can automate the task of redemption for specific types of transactions. But not being able to answer the question "how many bitcoins are at this address" seems to be very problematic.

Instead, you'll have a ton of publisher clearing house style "you just received a million bitcoins" notifications, once they enable more of the language in the client. It just seems confusing and unnecessary.

yea, I might have gotten it wrong about progressive taxation. The context I picked it up on was in choosing a higher salary vs. some benefits. The benefit did lead to more spending power compared to the salary increase and HR would push for this as salary increases would lead to more costs for the company.
It seems that every time I selected the correct one was because the bot-generated title did not make sense or had some other obvious error, for example:

> Apache releases first major new version of cancer drug

or

> "Algorithm" is not a language worth learning

Although when both titles made sense it was actually quite difficult to successfully pick which one was the bot.

There's multiple things going on, beyond the medical privacy thing. If someone comes in and 4 years from now drives in to a grocery store, then it turns out they had 'mental illness' from 10 years ago, heads will roll. Beyond privacy, this seems very much like an overzealous "no tolerance" reading of "mentally ill people can't come in the country" (because, of course we don't have any here already, right?).

But... come on. She is a paraplegic - this is not someone who is a threat to the safety of others. Or... to the extent she's a threat, she's s a threat whether she's on US soil or not (ability to organize violent/terrorism from abroad via the internet).
I'm still astonished at this idea though. I don't understand how a student of Philosophy could live life without regularly thinking about the behaviour of the universe outside our home. Thinking about it often enough that gravity on the moon is a concept close to the surface of awareness.

I did not cheat, and many of the names could be real (I swear I saw some that were actually titles of real articles, but in fact were bot-generated) - I'm not sure what makes me tell a real title out of a fake one in these situations. On other situations though, it's very easy (grammar makes no sense, there are odd amounts of quotes, etc.), but in my experience these tend to be a minority.

Actually, I find it funny that in my experience, most titles that could be of real, interesting hacks fitting well in the spirit of HN, are the bot generated ones, and the most political/controversial titles (which often you'll see discussed on many places other than HN) are the real ones.

Edit: I wish there was an easy way to record your session, so that later you can analyze each title more carefully and do some math on which options you "upvoted".
Well I'm sold. That sounds awesome.
Sure - so what do you do if there are conditionals? In the full generality of the language, it will be hard to offer an experience to the "recipient" of the transaction that is not confusing.

Ah - this makes sense, at least historically. With a tax that is more of a levy rather than something proportional to receipts or income, then it makes sense. But like the Mises Regression theorem, this seems more to relate to the historical origins of money as opposed to current usage.

You might have imposter syndrome. If any job I went for required 3 grilling technical interviews designed to put me like a mouse in a maze, I'd tell them to get lost. The fact that you even went through with all that chicanery is quite telling.

I believe that despite the time limits, you probably wrote subpar code. Otherwise they probably wouldn't have said, feel free to re-apply when you feel more capable. That doesn't sound like a tall tale to me. (and I'm aware other HNers are saying HR often lies about the reasons.)

To top it off, you are having a problem finding a job in a huge tech market. Any coder worth his salt, is not going to have a problem finding a job in this day and age, unless they lack confidence (imposter syndrome) or really aren't that great..despite years of experience, and yada yada.

Unless you can provide more information, I'm leaning towards lack of confidence, or false confidence.

I agree. Patent trolls are not the biggest problem at all. Sometimes I think, they are a good distraction from the real problem. Instead thinking about what to do about patent trolls, the governments should think, if they really can afford an out-of-hands patent system.

There where times, when getting a patent was really difficult, also for bigger companies. But today, every little nuisance can be patented (e.g. 1-click), just formulate it right and bring old things into new contexts to convince patent-officers (e.g. round edges). Of course patent-officers have their own advantages today, when more patents are granted ... what a mess!

It all comes down to the model being fairly obvious for WebRTC based video chat systems I guess. Copy, paste and appear without login and registration is the core strength of WebRTC, and there are a lot of services similar to this. I think the service that wins going forward is going to be the one that can differentiate, not in the core user model in itself, but create real user retention for the product, without breaking that core model. Monetization is also a huge issue which needs to be solved.

Bias warning: I work for appear.in.
Agreed, though I'm not sure Bitcoin's users/miners wouldn't "vote" to eventually invalidate unmigrated wallets. There's a tradeoff between accidentally destroying someone's legitimate wealth (e.x. a nLockTime'd transaction left as an inheritance) vs allowing crackers to eventually claim potentially enormous abandoned wallets (worth billions, if not trillions of dollars in the future). But remember those unmigrated wallets would also be equally vulnerable to cracking as abandoned wallets.

Perhaps there could be a solution whereby a nLockTime'd transactions could be presented during the migration period. I haven't thought through the details.

Either way, treasure hunting in the future will almost certainly be of the digital variety.
And this will only run on RPi ?

One downside of CM raising money is that they will have to go for high impact initiatives as a must-have than as a welcome side-effect of the stellar work that they have already been doing. Guess they will eventually go the route of CM phones or phones that come with CM pre-installed. The money they raised does not make sense for building a purely software offering.

Before the system can execute any one of these programs, it has fork the bash process, call exec to load the new binary in the process memory, load the standard library and map it to the adress space, open stdin / stdout, run the program, close stdin / stdout, wait for the process termination ...

Comparing to all this, a move instruction in userland won't really make a difference.

to actually focus on the linked article however - this isn't just an opinion but an actual reason why Facebook has lost its huge earlier momentum of use and user signups. though there's quite a big social network inertia, over time its going to be hard to justify the high-profit 'all your personal information is ours to sell and market' model.
