From Good Will Hunting:

"Why shouldn't I work for the N.S.A.? That's a tough one, but I'll take a shot. Say I'm working at N.S.A. Somebody puts a code on my desk, something nobody else can break. Maybe I take a shot at it and maybe I break it. And I'm real happy with myself, 'cause I did my job well. But maybe that code was the location of some rebel army in North Africa or the Middle East. Once they have that location, they bomb the village where the rebels were hiding and fifteen hundred people I never met, never had no problem with, get killed. Now the politicians are sayin', "Oh, send in the Marines to secure the area" 'cause they don't give a shit. It won't be their kid over there, gettin' shot. Just like it wasn't them when their number got called, 'cause they were pullin' a tour in the National Guard. It'll be some kid from Southie takin' shrapnel in the ass. And he comes back to find that the plant he used to work at got exported to the country he just got back from. And the guy who put the shrapnel in his ass got his old job, 'cause he'll work for fifteen cents a day and no bathroom breaks. Meanwhile, he realizes the only reason he was over there in the first place was so we could install a government that would sell us oil at a good price. And, of course, the oil companies used the skirmish over there to scare up domestic oil prices. A cute little ancillary benefit for them, but it ain't helping my buddy at two-fifty a gallon. And they're takin' their sweet time bringin' the oil back, of course, and maybe even took the liberty of hiring an alcoholic skipper who likes to drink martinis and fuckin' play slalom with the icebergs, and it ain't too long 'til he hits one, spills the oil and kills all the sea life in the North Atlantic. So now my buddy's out of work and he can't afford to drive, so he's got to walk to the fuckin' job interviews, which sucks 'cause the shrapnel in his ass is givin' him chronic hemorrhoids. And meanwhile he's starvin', 'cause every time he tries to get a bite to eat, the only blue plate special they're servin' is North Atlantic scrod with Quaker State. So what did I think? I'm holdin' out for somethin' better. I figure fuck it, while I'm at it why not just shoot my buddy, take his job, give it to his sworn enemy, hike up gas prices, bomb a village, club a baby seal, hit the hash pipe and join the National Guard? I could be elected president."

The point is everyone just 'does their job' regardless of any outside stimuli/judgement. Everyone is a hero in their own world.
This was posted to imgur a few hours ago. I have no idea of its authenticity, but hopefully they're just really busy, and will do the right things. Good luck.

"Coinbase being a bro - saved me $400" http://imgur.com/r/Bitcoin/E52ILfD
I'm skeptical of that. Coinbase is easily as well-known as Bitfloor (though granted, I don't have data on transaction volume), and certainly more popular and active than the guy who has creating physical bitcoin coins: http://www.wired.com/wiredenterprise/2013/12/casascius/
It's great for people who want to be in the Windows ecosystem. The problem is, almost no one wants a completely Windows experience anymore. Microsoft is great at strategically leveraging their monopoly and creating a forced marriage between two separate experiences, and making both of them worse, much like forcing IE into Windows, Windows Mobile into Windows 8, etc. The problem for Microsoft is that this is no longer 1997. People have legitimate choices and are spurning Microsoft like never before. Their monopoly no longer buys them any strategic advantage anymore except in enterprise software.

They can keep trying to create a unifying UX experience, but no one cares. Their Metro UX in Windows 8 has been a disaster. The inertia that Microsoft counted on to make IE the #1 browser no longer works anymore.

The best thing to do for the engineers and for shareholders is to break the company apart and let each division fend for themselves. Let them make the best product they can, not stymied with one hand tied behind their back because they have to maintain this terrible lineage back to Windows.
They also have an history of halting Bitcoin sales when it's value drops too much.
System V init was decent enough for the time, but today it's relatively garbage compared to the alternatives.

Services die? Oh well, I guess they'll just stay dead. At least systemd has a wrapper that restarts them.

Also the "write a shell script with magical comments in it and lots of low-level bash" is not an elegant solution to any problem.

Fedora's been pretty good about supporting legacy sysvinit style scripts and there will always be a way to use them.
Wow, this is valuable. It's not the kooky new framework that rockets tech forward, it's tools like this.
Gold has been used as a store of value for thousands of years around the world.
Any ideas why they changed it? Surely the circuit would be simpler like this rather than having the LED hooked up to the microchip and software controlling it.
"...that of Germany", no less. Good point -- indeed, the article was pretty hard to take seriously after that point.
Surely that guy isn't selling ratings, as he's the client so he's the guy paying the low fees - presumably to get work (just cheap work), otherwise why would he spend $829 just to give contractors ratings. (Unless there's more going on than meets the eye, for example behind the scenes he's selling the chance to get a positive rating for more than he pays on the site.)
The nice thing about the passion projects in this space is that competitors openly share ideas and implement new findings very quickly. Maybe they won't all be profitable, but they will all add constructively to the industry.
Just because the long-term price will reach zero doesn't mean you can't profit in the short-term. Defining "long-term" and "short-term" more precisely is key to finding profit though.
Neat idea. Can you plug this into setlist.fm, last.fm, and maybe SongKick to get some more data on each show?
It's obviously a matter of controlling the flow of money (or capital in general). I fail to understand how anyone thinks this demonstrates a flaw or shortcoming of Bitcoin.
> calculating ever-larger prime numbers, they get further apart

iirc that's not completely true. It may be in practice for bitcoin as a currency, but I remember reading that there's a limit to the distance between two primes, no matter how large they become.

How is it more like cash than a commodity? I can't directly take bitcoins or gold or copper and purchase anything at my local wal-mart. Since the car analogy didn't work for you, lets say I contract someone to buy 1 oz of gold/platinum/etc at a specific price. They don't deliver, are they falling afoul of funds transfer laws or is it a contract dispute?

Obviously it's not the exact same, but my argument is they should be treated the same (when possible). First, a lot of WP plugins do require some dev work to integrate. Second, non-developers have no idea what a plugin might change. It could easily break your entire site.

Plugins should be installed on dev/staging and tested before just adding them in production. Plugins in WP are a double-edged sword.
Actually having this option is really good and you should use it, as there could be a likelihood of "legitimate" BTC services facing bank runs in the current panic.

Of course, you could be contributing in a bank run, though that's not your concern.

Show HN: My first iOS 7 Sprite Kit game
This guy? http://instagram.com/p/h_z7OEkWEs/

I mean, I don't know who he is but I generally wouldn't fuck with someone who has $35k to drop on pretend money. Anyhow, main stream news can be foolish, regardless of who the subject is.
Interesting to note: iPhone and iPad and a lot of Android devices don't have a camera indicator LED. While it is difficult to distribute iOS Apps outside the AppStore (where Apple would hopefully reject an App accessing camera information without informing the user) this totally could happen with Android Apps distributed outside of App Stores.

A while ago I wrote a component for the iPad that emulates the proximity sensor of the iPhone by measuring the brightness of images the the front camera captured. There was no way for the user to detect that I was actually capturing images.
So basically, 37signals sold this product just like they sold Sortfolio.

(They seem to be on a bad run lately given Breeze was shutdown after a few months. Sortfolio sale. etc)
What if there was a service that aggregated pricing from Twilio, Nexmo, and other SMS GWs and send pricing updates on a daily basis. We don't have that capability at www.oneapi4sms.com yet, but that is something we could do as we pull this data now.
But if we did this, would you and others pay for it?
Yes, and are you 100%, no strings attached, free to not participate if you are not comfortable with the rules.

The stupid libertarians get their stupid pie-in-the-sky currency and you get to sit back with a bowl of popcorn (purchased with a government-secured currency of your choice) and enjoy the show.
Just no intrinsic value to you... yet.

But ask people in Cyprus who have had their money confiscated by their bank if they think bitcoins would've been valuable to them, or people in China who've walked across the border with a thumbdrive of bitcoins/litecoins/??coins. Ask anyone who has made an overseas funds transfer if doing so was quicker and more painless than at bank. Volatility is offset by the overall price rise. Saying it has no intrinsic value is a moronic statement.

The main lesson to learn is in the altchains... otherwise it's just replacing one set of paper elites with a crypto elite. That's where the real awakening comes in, anyone can be an early adopter. Also, bitcoin is not a private blockchain, but even central banks could use cryptocoin implementations to move funds around internally. It's a piece of open-source software, that's a very important part of the equation of bitcoin's value: there can be pump and dumps at times, but overall it's severly missing the point to only see it as such.

add: now that I think about it, it'd be interesting for corporations to add the equivalent of an intranet of cryptocoins for budgeting and spending. There are tons of information systems potentials in bitcoin it blows my mind... even without some official government endorsement.. just in the software itself. Some intra/outer mini-exchange interfacing into some b2b portal to then access the public blockchains.
The core argument that Bitcoin is deflationary is irrelevant to the fitness of Bitcoin, at least for online transactions. To me, the chief value of Bitcoin is that it enables super cheap micro (and macro) transactions online. Goodbye silly debit and credit card interchange fees! Used in this way, dollars are held in Bitcoin form for only the tiniest of moments before being converted back into dollars. Long term fluctuations in exchange rates don't matter.

I look forward to using micro payments for content online. Ad supported content and the inevitable vending of my personal data is distasteful to me.
We released this a while ago, but were waiting to announce it until Chrome released Mac support for its apps.

They aren't really inept. Its just that they want to do everything themselves, disregarding others. "It runs on our Microsoft platform, works well with our Microsoft tools and you can even store your stuff on our Microsoft cloud, provided that you run the Microsoft sync tool on your Microsoft operating system"

They really need to learn to stop doing that, because they're not able to afford it anymore.
Since when there is private key in AES? And that requires a paranoid person to trust that a company does not holds the keys in escrows somewhere or are by any way retrievable.
It's not unlike the recent desktop browser days - where the web was written for IE6.

However, this time, WebKit is open-source, so at least there's no excuse for other browsers to not simply support it.

I really enjoy using workflowy and have suggested others use it. What I'd like is an Android app instead of using the mobile browser.

Possible in the future?

For all those who don't know, workflowy is lists of lists of lists of lists. This is pretty much how I think.
Whilst some impressive hacks (and especially convincing university staff to lend you their Expensive Toys), my understanding is that the really tricky bit is going from die scans to netlist/circuit diagram, and thence simulation/code extraction.

The Visual6502[1] folks are probably the best example of how well it can be done (assuming you can't afford to pay ChipWorks or FlyLogic to do it for you), but if you're working with a standardish MCU core and some masked ROM, a lower tech solution like the Dangerous Prototypes "rompar"[2] might work.

Probably requires quite a few dies, or plenty of experience in extracting them before you succeed though.

For actually reverse engineering the flash contents, I think it'd be easier to sniff the bus traffic as you probe it, or make a read/write capable emulator that logs what's going on. With the hacked phone-side control library, you could probably build a mostly automated harness to exercise the various settings and see what gets stored in flash.

The autoloader is required in wp-config to get access to Dotenv: https://github.com/roots/bedrock/blob/master/wp-config.php#L...

But in the example you gave, ideally your custom plugin is itself a Composer package which requires Guzzle in its composer.json file. Then you'd require your plugin in the project's composer.json :)

Re: Capistrano. We're really trying to encourage people to fork this and modify it to their needs. So you could easily rip Cap out and integrate Fabric in your own fork. We're just providing some sensible defaults that we're familiar with.

I love Work Flowy and I'm glad to see offline available although I always thought it worked offline and just synced when reconnected. How did it behave before?

I would pay for a pro account if they had a better iOS experience. Right now their web app wrapper type app ain't cutting it, they need something native. That's pro-worthy.

> When the school district investigated the case, it found other incidents of webcam spying, and notified the students involved, including Levin. According to the lawsuit, filed in Eastern Pennsylvania District Court, Levin's younger brother commented on a light near the webcam that appeared to go on and off at odd times. His mother "dismissed the idea as absurd," but it appears he was right.
> Is it just me or something gives me the creeps about running an OS off an external drive...

The parent was talking about having your assets on externals if you had high storage requirements, the OS can live perfectly fine with any number of apps on the SSD.

> Since when did the requirements of a workstation class Xeon desktop become "Super-compact" and "beautiful"?!

We weren't always so utilitarian, Silicon Graphics did gang-buster business for a long time selling style and compactness in the workstation class. Yes, SGI eventually crashed and burned, but Apple is in a far better position to experiment with this, given that they have about $147 billion of cash on hand.

yup, it makes sense why Claire wouldn't be part of 37s, and if the fit with her and the product is one-of-a-kind, makes sense that it would be organized separately if thats the only way to have her be a part of it. Of course now that you add more color, I'm more curious. I always got the impression you were more personally associated with Know Your Company than the other 37s products (having your signature on the marketing page), if so, are you personally bummed to give up the product and not direct it's continued development? Are you going to be working on something new?
Basically, doing "normal" biology/psychology experiments "lab" mice is sort of like doing those experiments on astronauts living on the moon. A rather horrid mis-approximation of the experience/behavior of normal population.

The moden scientific laboratory design puts so much emphasis on precision (cages, diets, etc, for consistent experimental outcomes), that it fails miserably at accuracy (similarity to what non-experimental individuals)

I suppose once everyone who dislikes the busses have been priced out of the neighborhood and have moved away, the issue will be resolved. Although, at that point, it may make sense for Google, Cisco, etc. to demand better city busses that everyone can use. Which won't be a problem once everyone is in the same class.

Classism at its finest folks! City buses are there for the people, not just those belonging to the same social-economic group. Tech firms should encourage better public transportation regardless of who takes it because it is there for the citizens of SF which they are directly a part of.
Omg, go to the site he lists on his instagram.
This is laughable.

You aren't testing kidneys (or whatever) you are testing your chips.

But your chips and the real world are only partially the same.

If we knew the real world so perfectly we could make a good chip we wouldn't need those experiments.

(This is the same problem as you get when you try to do physics via simulation.)
One I think things are dynamic: people, processes, technology(platform), software. Seems usually in big companies its a few smart people doing most of the work, catching most of the mistakes. lot of avg people doing the rest of the work, others taking up space causing problems. Processes generally adaquate to not cuase lots of problems.
Ehhhhh....really?

Your examples are unbelievably silly, as both Enron and the financial crisis of 2008 occurred in the context of deregulation of those "traditional markets".

Wanna watch Bitcoin absolutely implode and die? You libertarians keep up your adolescent, blind fervor for nonregulation.
So over time people figure out how to verify these things. Coinbase was easy: they are backed by Union Square Ventures. I generally trust anything that is funded by them.

Don't act like the only way this can be "fixed" is by inserting government control over the situation.
> As a result, the investor is taking a material loss solely due to Bitcoin's failure to deliver.

They are very careful not to use the word "invest" or "investment" or even remotely suggest that BTC is an investment. They merely discuss buying and selling BTC. This is akin to a marketplace for buying and selling Magic the Gathering cards. An MtG exchange doesn't treat the Wrath of God cards as an investment; in the same way, Coinbase doesn't treat BTC as an investment.
From my google search, I really doubt local news(or anybody) is going to give a damn who mGrunin is.

Not hard at all. PHP is incredibly easy. Wordpress is very well documented, and the enormous community support (plugins) means that you can do quite a lot without having to get your hands dirty with the code. And believe me, that's not an analogy. Wordpress is a great example of how NOT to code, regardless of the language being used.
Hi, I'm the author of this article, and reading these comments made me just think "wow, there is so much pain here."

I assume I'll get made fun of/trolled/whatever for this, but I guess all I really wanted to say in my article was "There were some difficult things I experienced as a woman in tech - but these are not independent of the difficult things men experience. We are all in this mess together."

Sexism is not men discriminating against women, it's a complicated interplay between the roles we are expected to act, and roles we want to act, and all genders suffer for it.

Maybe, also, I wished someone had said "I see how hard it is," when I was a woman programmer. So, in that spirit, to all the male programmers out there "I see how hard it is for you too."

Sure. Coinbase, as far as I know, sources its coins from the exchanges (Mt Gox, Bitstamp, btc-e, etc). I could be wrong about this.

Coinbase acts as a nice middleman where you can securely link your bank account, and for this convenience Coinbase charges you a higher fee than the exchanges. They procure your coins, handle the financial leg work, and suddenly you have access to bitcoins.

I wouldn't worry about it. I've used both quite a bit. It was a huge pain in the ass to gain access to Mt Gox. Coinbase is just better imo. The support team always comes through for any problems.
Why do people keep saying it crashed 50% since yetserday? That number is just plain wrong. It was NOT trading over $1000 yesterday, that was over a week ago.
This isn't a credit card transcation, it was an ACH which almost every bank already confirms at send time (usually OTP SMS). In anycase, they're user not vendor initiated.
