All that may be true, but it's still inaccurate to claim the GOP blocked President Obama from closing Guantanamo in his first year as promised. Republicans didn't like the idea, but if the President and his party had wanted it as badly as they wanted ACA, they could have had it.

Over the years, I've tried a few times to design a gaming capable PC that would easily fit in a suitcase and not make as much noise as a 747. I never found cases with a form factor like that with internal power supplies, and which will fit, power and cool a mid-to-high range (~€180) graphics card.

The other components are easy of course.

I'd be happy to be proven wrong, because I'm definitely in the market for something like this. More than 50% of my gaming time happens when I take time off - which usually means I'm visiting family for a few weeks, and taking anything bigger than this on a plane or train is not realistic. I was hoping Thunderbolt might solve the problem with external GPUs, but right now that seems more trouble than it's worth.

Schneier himself semi-regrets this one I believe as it teaches enough to be dangerous but not enough to understand the risks you are creating. Implementing ciphers is one thing, knitting them together into a secure protocol is something very different and very challenging.
NO! Applied Crypto is at times a fascinating book, but it is terrible for a developer that wants to learn the fundamentals of crypto and how to avoid the most common mistakes people make. Its also really old at this point.

A much better book is Schneier, Ferguson and Kohno's "Cryptography Engineering"[1]. It covers what makes for strong crypto primitives and why weaker ones are considered broken. Note that is book is starting to get a bit out dated (I don't remember it covering ECC at all, for example), but I don't know of any better book.

I also endorse the Matasano Crypto challenges and the Coursera Crypto class taught by Dan Boneh as excellent learning resources.

Great presentation! Very fascinated by this world and Prismatic definitely appears to be at the forefront of achieving relevance. What I've been kind of baffled by are businesses like Taboola, Gravity and Outbrain. I understand their businesses are centered around placement of "related" or 'personalized' articles of boobs, bikinis, and booze just so you click so they get paid, but do you think behind the scenes they have relevance and personalization technology on par with Prismatic? They have a ton of money and people so you'd think they should be able to recommend genuinely relevant content, but publicly never appears so
Sure, of course you can. I know a small business that did, very successfully.

But you might want to give some thought to how you'll prevent counterfeiting. A voucher for a cup of coffee is one thing, but if you want to raise a lot of money then security is a bigger concern. As far as I know there's no established infrastructure or service for this sort of thing. If you do it, you're pretty much building something from scratch.

Bitcoin has the potential to make it as simple as installing client software, and telling your customer base about it. If bitcoin gets to common usage, and people succeed in building decentralized exchanges, then your customers could buy your vouchers using the app they use already, and resell them later with a button click or two.
I'd recommend Cryptography Engineering over Applied Cryptography for programmers today. It has a lot of actionable info and is quite up to date.

You make an excellent point, one which Noam Chomsky addressed by saying[1]

> "If we're interested in let's say diminishing the amount of violence in the world, it's at least arguable and perhaps even sometimes true that a terroristic act does diminish the amount of violence in the world. Hence a person who is opposed to violence will not be opposed to that terroristic act."

Edit: The context was the use of violence to stop a hypothetical "train" from transporting munitions to help the criminal US war in Vietnam.

If someone told you, really you to do just that,

The problem here is that's just one way (in linguistics: "voice") in which the statement can be parsed. Another way is to look at it mathematically:

print <expr>

where

expr := x if x > 5

which of course has an entirely different meaning.

What compounds the difficulty is that in general it's really difficult to anticipate all of these syntactical corner cases through a careful, a priori study of the man pages, or any of the available introductory literature. The only time-effective way (for most people) to get up to speed in a new language is through practice. Supplemented of course through book & occasional man page study. But really the way most people learn is programming is "by doing."

Which, sadly for Perl 5, means "by shooting yourself in the foot", in the prolonged early learning phase, for most people.
My understanding of how n-key rollover was finally implemented in USB keyboards was by putting a USB hub in the keyboard and having the keyboard pretend to be several keyboards all at once.

What I'm trying to say is that these cracking contests offer great PR, and you don't actually need to worry about the security of your site. So it's great for companies who are trying to instill investor/consumer confidence in their security, even if they are not confident in their security. (I'm not condoning a company using this technique as a ploy to prove their non-existant security is secure, but if they are strategic, they could absolutely hold a cracking contest to do just that.)

I think there is a line from the political satire comedy series Veep on HBO that answers your question nicely. It's a sage piece of advice offered to the Vice President from a Senator she's asking to help her with some PR on an Oil issue: "...you don’t want to fuck with [big oil] because they fuck in a very unpleasant fashion." It's a really well written (if extremely vulgar) show. Art imitates life, life imitates art, etc...

This is so laughable. The median salary in NYC is $50,000 per household. This includes tons of people who work in Manhattan (I've met more people who work in Manhattan and live in other boroughs than otherwise - the daily commute numbers back that up.) As another poster mentioned, even just Manhattanites make $70,000 a year for the household. I personally know many people living in Manhattan making far less.

$150k is most definitely upper middle class. I grew up in Queens my whole life and until I started working professionally, never met someone who made more than $150,000 a year.

Basically, from the point of view of visitors, people don't want to create yet another username/password they have to remember and hope that the company they signed up with isn't as incompetent as Adobe, Sony, or LinkedIn.

From the standpoint of the company (leaving aside for the moment privacy concerns of the user), if it has users login in with a social ID, it will get access to their profile information from the identity provider.

The downside of using social login is, of course, that many people are rightly concerned with what is being done with their profile data.

This is what you typically get at the end in an Angular app. You don't need to "figure out" things where they are and what they are, and what they do in DOM.

In middle school we had a two week section on computers and programming, which I absolutely devoured. But I didn't have access to the computer lab again in middle school, the two high schools I attended didn't even have computer labs, and my family wouldn't own a computer until more than a decade later. :-(
I'm not sure I understand the point you're trying to make.

If you're not a founder or in executive management, there is rarely any value in looking at equity "compensation" at an early-stage startup. Again, as can be seen in my example, when you're dealing with sub-1% equity amounts post dilution and liquidity preferences, as most employees are, the numbers simply don't work in your favor. To walk away with a meaningful windfall that is substantially higher than the cash salary earned over your vesting period, you will need an exit that is statistically very unlikely.

Any employee who expects his or her equity stake to be on par with founders and executive management is wet behind the ears, and any individual who has dreams of becoming fabulously wealthy is far more likely to realize those dreams by starting a company than going to work for one.

> In SF, close to 50% in taxes

When I moved to SF from Alabama, I lost ~1->5% more of my paycheck to taxes. Note that Alabama is a dirt cheap place to live, and that I get so much more from that tax money in SF.

Yes, the taxes here are bad if you compare them to Washington or some other low-tax haven... but they're really not that bad here.

Also, yes, rent is insane in the city. More apartments must be built!

Like most things, it's a spectrum. There are pacifists who won't partake in violence. Either by their action or the action of someone on their behalf (i.e., they'd argue against their nation going to war). There are also pacifists who won't partake in violence in their own defense, but might to defend others. And others will resist throwing the first punch, but are willing to defend themselves and others with violence if forced to. And there are plenty of other variations on this theme.

And if you really want to go to the definition, wiktionary [1] has it as:

1.One who loves, supports, or favours peace;
one who is pro-peace.
2.One who avoids violence.
3.One who opposes violence and is anti-war.

Opposition to and avoidance of violence. Not necessarily an absolute rejection of it (though that is likely the ideal of all pacifists).

No. The funds were supposed to be transferred by Nov 15. On Nov 22 I asked them to cancel the transaction because I had not been paid. On the 27th I got a form email asking me to reply if I still had a problem, and I re-iterated that I wanted the transaction reversed for non-payment.

I might add, that between the time that I tried to sell and the time that I got paid, They charged me for an automatic buy order that I forgot to cancel... at $823.09/BTC

I don't know the internal mechanisms of how they operate, but I think they have acted despicably. The more deeply I look, the more amateurish everything connected with them becomes.
Good thing that they fired their CEO.
The word really serves no purpose if all it means is, "we should only fight wars when they're justified."
Seems to be an SSL problem.
I agree. For instance, (and it's been a while, so perhaps my reading is bad), Arendt makes a distinction between the justified use of violence, in which we suppose that violence is wrong but can see no other course of action, and legitimate violence, where we understand violence simply as our right as people with power.

A justified violent action is future oriented, hoping that the future will vindicate what will be a past action but knowing that at the moment, the action is "wrong" until it becomes redeemed through historical context.

By contrast, a legitimate violent action is past oriented, and understood as simply "right", because the power carrying it out has been granted legitimate state power. Here, we can see how people in the US who favor military action often see military action as the "right" of the US to protect its interests, coupled with the legitimacy of US power as a force for the promotion of human rights (not a view I agree with, by the way).

This might sound like a strange and useless distinction, but consider the difference between a police officer shooting someone because there is no other action, and doing even though it may be wrong, and on the other hand, a police officer tasing a "non-compliant" suspect because he believes he legitimately has that power and won't be harmed even if, in the future, people decide it was a wrong action.

At that point, it seems useful, at least to me, to understand that we live in an imperfect world and may have to do violent things, but can be strong pacifists by asserting that there is never a "legitimate" violence.

This post reminds me of Miley Cyrus at the MTV VMA earlier in the year. Pop singers are incentivized to be the first to break cultural norms for no practical reason in order to ride the wave of subsequent teen followers.

The bigger question here is: Why were you looking at Bing to begin with? It has probably been like this for months.
Actually, it doesn't 'render'. Looking in dev tools, it's a 404.
React exposes event handlers and setState methods which are seemly mutable and Object Oriented. This is because React is designed for large scale organizations and to be approachable by a broad developer base.

However, once you have certainly complexity in your asynchronous flow, RxJS is a great way to express that.

The interesting part of our experiments (which we designed together with Erik Meijer) can be found here:

https://github.com/facebook/react-page/blob/082a049d2a13b141...

RxJS makes it easy to create abstractions from complex pieces of your async flow. The getStreams method in that example could easily be broken apart into multiple pieces.

This fits very well into the React model and is definitely a great compliment if your organization is already familiar with Rx.
This is exactly what should happen. The success of any protest is based on media coverage. If no one was arrested, this wouldn't have been a story.

If this coverage reaches a few who are willing to get arrested for the cause, they'll launch additional protests hoping for more exposure.

If protesters manage to keep themselves in the news cycle, they may actually make a difference.

I was referring to what that salary gets you in terms of standard of living and so on. Cost of living in all of New York, Manhattan especially, is high. $70k doesn't get you very far in Manhattan, especially if you don't have multiple roommates (which you wouldn't if you had a family).

Contrast that to what a family can do with $70k in Cleveland, San Antonio, or Raleigh. It looks closer to what $150k looks like in Manhattan, which is my point.

My first computer was my father's Amstrad '86 with a whopping 1MHz processor and 512k of RAM. He bought it so he could work on his master's thesis in the late 80s. A friend of mine in high school (during the early 00's) got his first computer in the late nineties and he bought it with own cash because his parents didn't think computers were worth it. By that time I knew a lot more about computers just by having it around the house. Simply put, you're right: access is a huge issue.
I just assume that all apps, webstites, and companies harvest all the data they can get their hands on by default, especially LinkedIn. Most clients that I deal with ask for as much data as possible from apps and sites.
