I can't remember where I read this and I don't remember all the details, however: As I understand the problem is mainly with USD withdrawals to USA, and the problem is not with MtGox but rather with the bank they use having some legacy issues and that they can only process X transactions a day in batch. Or something to that effect.

For this reason I switched to Bitstamp and the experience is night/day different. Bitstamp withdrawals/deposits have so far never taken more than 4 working days, sometimes 3, for me.
This may be unrelated, but one of the things I've always thought is that contests, bug bounties, and things like it kind of give a free pass to hacking attempts, don't they?

Is this a well-understood part of these kinds of programs? Even the ones that say "color inside these lines" can be used to say, "Oh, sorry, I didn't know I was outside of the boundaries" if a person ever gets caught trying to get into a bad place.

So you've got all kinds of logs of me trying to break into your system, but as long as I fail I can just pretend like I was going after the bounty you've placed, right?

It was a problem with the Breathing Regulator/Anti-G (BRAG) valve supporting the Combat Edge vest, for F-22 pilots. F-16 pilots use almost the same vest, but the regulator and anti-G inflation valve setup is different.

The F-22 can sustain high Gs for longer which exacerbated the problem with the BRAG valve.

The go people are poking at this. They ship a tool, 'go fix', that can safely refactor your code to deal with backwards-incompatible API changes. Go also has a tool, 'go fmt', that most people use to enforce tabs vs spaces, etc., but has a 'rewrite' flag that you can use to do simple, arbitrary transformations.

They also ship some AST tools for go, though I haven't seen much use made of them.
Looks like they've had a drastic drop in rating from Charity Navigator, from 4/4 stars to 2. Apparently due to them spending 22% of their income on fund raising [1]. This is the first I've heard of them and I may still give just because I like the idea.

Distrust is a very strong motivation to reject a bid. If Boeing had won the bid, the NSA would have armed themselves with a FISA court order, mandating Boeing to install malware in the fighter jets, along with a gag order forbidden Boeing to tell Brazil. Due to their massive internal audit problem, the one or the other rogue NSA contractor would end up selling off a copy of the specifications describing the backdoor to crime syndicates, who would then be able to blackmail the Brazilian government. To cut a long story short, it has now become impossible to buy any American technology product which contains proprietary software or hardware. It must now all be open source and open design and then reviewed by non-American experts at the expense of the American company trying to sell its gear.

The mono C# compiler has been written in C# from the start, and this proved to be very helpful. I remember at the conference where Anders Hejlsberg first discussed Roslyn (which encompasses rewriting the microsoft C# compiler in C#), Miguel de Icaza was able to show some of the same ideas he was discussing actually already running on Mono. I don't think Miguel even knew ahead of time; it was just something the mono people had done.

I don't think anyone at Apple considered this LED to be designed "tamper proof". They just lazily implemented a requirement possibly written as:

-- A LED shall light up when the camera is activated.

But what they should have implemented is:

-- It shall not be possible to activate the camera without the LED being lit, taking malicious third-party software into account.

The first requirement is obviously, and demonstrably, implemented by every camera (ignoring hardware defects regarding the LED). The second is, as proven by the paper, not fulfilled by any.

{EDIT: added the malicious part to the 2nd requirement}

I don't want to derail your question, but I just wanted to point out that SolidFire doesn't actually sell cloud instances - we sell service provider/enterprise storage appliances.

Essentially it's a storage system (like EMC, NetApp, etc.) designed to, among other things, allow service providers (Rackspace, DigitalOcean) to easily provision (via REST API) virtualized storage devices for their cloud tenants. These service providers then typically resell this as a capability in their own public API or management console.

(Full disclosure that you may have picked up from my earlier phrasing, I am a SolidFire employee.)

Interesting and perplexing situation ! You are located in a good area and have an amazing range of skills. I don't think that any more education is going to help. You've got the best qualifications from Hard Knocks U.

I know many guys at a similar age to you and they too have a very hard time with recruiters and cookie-cutter job descriptions. So contracting is probably a better angle. Here's what I'd do in your situation (I did a similar process for myself) :

1. Make a list of what you are very good at. Like in the top 10% of the field.

2. Rate all the things that you still enjoy doing.

3. Write up a one page spiel on what value you can deliver and for whom on your most enjoyable ninja skillz.

4. Using your contacts, past clients, current research approach companies / businesses who are likely to benefit from that specific skill.

You are free to believe what you want. However, Windows 8 is an unmitigated disaster. Surface is an unmitigated disaster. Windows Phone is absolutely ignored. Bing is largely ignored. Internet Explorer has lost large swaths of marketshare.

Microsoft is trying to unify an experience that no one cares about. They're building products that no one wants to use. And the reason no one wants to use them is because they are being stymied by this ridiculous notion that they would have a common experience, but an experience that no one wants to use because they are stymied.

When Surface came out, I very much wanted to buy one for my parents, because it looked like exactly what they needed. I spent 45 mins at the Microsoft Store, and I didn't end up getting it. It was terrible. Sometimes, I didn't understand which way to swipe, I didn't understand why there was Flash but some websites wouldn't work, and then sometimes I would get the Windows task bar, and didn't know why. Compare this to the iPad which is almost a perfect experience, because it's so much easier to use.

Microsoft has stymied themselves by trying to take the core Windows experience, and then hammering it into the tablet experience. And then they take this really shitty experience, and then hammer that back into the desktop experience. It's like taking a photocopy of a photocopy.

If they allowed their teams to make the best product they could, they might succeed in the same way Google has succeeded. But forcing everyone to pray at the temple of Windows is what is ruining Microsoft in 2013 and beyond. They need to split up and forget this unification delusion.

Let me disclaim this with the fact that i think Heifer International seems like it does good work, and the interviews i've heard with their people have left me with a good impression. Okay, that said:

Why shouldn't we skeptically evaluate non-profits and charities the way we evaluate the ethics and responsibility of for-profits? There are piiiiiiles of truly awful charities who take money in the name of doing good only to enrich themselves and let their ersatz causes languish unattended (see: http://cironline.org/americasworstcharities ).

I think it's awesome that Bill Gates donated to Heifer International on this woman's behalf. But I think maybe it's better if people spent more time learning more about Heifer and donating on its merits, than just because Bill Gates donated to it.

So, actually, i don't agree that advertising for charities and for-profits is that different :)

Oh, irony, is it the same Delta that had phones installed in all headrests that had credit card slot and some ridiculous fee to make a call just mere 10-15 years ago?

CEO, attendants and passengers didn't mind back then.

I think that they should install roaming cell phone station in every plane and charge $1/min, all providers will jump on that. Then it will sort itself out economically - it will to expensive to chat a lot, but still affordable if there is a strong need to do so.

Delhi Pollution Control Committee Has Stopped Publishing Live Air Quality Data
On Tuesday the ambient concentrations of fine particulate mater (PM2.5) were recorded above 800 micrograms/cubic meter in neighborhoods of New Delhi. But the public was not advised to remain indoors.

Coincidentally, as of Wednesday afternoon, all 6 air quality reporting stations run by the Delhi Pollution Control Committee have stopped reporting live data.

The US EPA states that when PM2.5 levels go above 300 micrograms/cubic meter everyone should take measures to protect themselves from exposure.

http://beijing.usembassy-china.org.cn/20130201-pm25-steps.html

Recent conditions in Delhi have surpassed pollution problems faced in Shanghai and other Chinese cities. Sources have claimed that the number of patients seeking treatment for respiratory and cardiac diseases in Delhi has risen by about a quarter since the pollution levels began to skyrocket on Monday.

> I think Bill could be fairly judged as evil and maniacal at times.

I hear this a lot and I think it is grossly unfair. I lived through those times, and my company (Zortech) competed directly with Microsoft.

Microsoft is one tough competitor, no doubt about it. But evil and maniacal is frankly ridiculous. MicroPro, Novell, Lotus, etc., all failed due to their own decisions.

For in-depth information, see the book "In Search of Stupidity".
Thing is, humans come up with new "actions" all the time. If you drop that abstraction, and reduce our actions to "controlling information flow in our bodies" then the action space becomes unfathomably huge.
Back in the day, people used to have Rolodexes, and it wasn't uncommon for a Rolodex to follow you out the door from one job to the next, growing steadily with each new acquaintance you made. A good executive relied on their Rolodex, kept it up-to-date. If you barely recognized a name, maybe it was time to call that person and meet them for drinks, catch up on what's new in their life.

Sometimes, you'd find yourself helping them move, or calling in a favor to get them front-row seats at a concert. And then when you'd have a need for a particular skill, you could say "it's ok, I know a guy" and call in a favor from them.

That's networking. That's all networking is. It's making connections with people and maintaining those connections over time. It's why executives and sales people spend so much time on the golf course. Connections. Relationships. Just short of friendships.

Somewhere along the line, that got packaged up, conceptualized, productized. People were told they should be networking. Here's a course on how to network. Let's have a "networking event"...bring your business cards! Networking went from a verb to a noun.

Screw that. Meet people, online and off. Help them out with their problems, or just hang out. Don't be a stranger. That's it. I bet if each of you thought about it, you network all the time.

Sent $10,701.03 to Coinbase. Still missing bitcoins.
I placed an order for bitcoins early last week and was slated to receive them on Friday. Not only did I not recieve them, the transaction disappeared from my account, even though the ACH withdrawal had already clearly happened from my bank account.

Now, I'm still missing bitcoins in my account for transactions that have already been cleared and I've received a portion of the $10,701.03 in bitcoin at the price that I was was locked in at if I was to receive them on Friday, December 13th. I received them 5 days late and at the price locked in on December 8.

Coinbase is at fault and they've violated their own terms of service. I've asked for a similar resolution that the other gentleman on HN got from Brian, and this is the response I received from their customer support:

"I'm not sure how that guy got the CEO of the company to intercede on his behalf, but that's definitely not a normal handling of that case.

I simply do not have the ability to do that, I'm sorry. None of the admins do. That guy must have been one of our extremely high volume VIP users or something in order for something like that to have happened.

I...don't really know how to respond further. That does seem somewhat unfair. Very sorry, but I just don't have the ability to push through such a request. Nor is it possible to forward a ticket to our CEO. My apologies, but I'm just not able to be of further help here..."

What's wrong with Coinbase right now? I'm a huge fan of them, but this is terrible customer service. I can't get a fair resolution because your ticketing system doesn't allow you to send a ticket to Brian or any of your other superiors? What kind of customer service is this?

I would even love an acknowledgment that Coinbase violated its TOS and is in the wrong here. I'm just looking for a fair resolution.

He was a big softie! For example, if you think what he did to Netscape was bad, you ought to hear what users of Netscape 4 wanted to do to Netscape...
Good job! As promised, the code is easy to read. Your major choices all make sense to me:

* you went easy on #define's, they obfuscate the code when used heavily

* you have a simple switch instead of an opcode table with function pointers or something like that (may seem more fun to write, harder to read for someone inexperienced)

* light on comments, which is also excellent, the code is self-documenting almost everywhere.

* the unusual includes for opcode categories are OK. If you wanted it to be more straight-laced C, could put them in separate .c files and break the switch into many switches, one per file. It's probably better the way it is.

One thing it'd be nice to add is a short guide, right there in README, in which order to read the source (e.g. start from cpu.h/cc to understand how the state of the CPU and memory is represented, then cpu.h/cc for the main loop executed once per instruction, etc.).

On HN we get tons of "why we moved from language/platform X to language/platform Y" articles. They are fun to read, but 99% of it should be read as a list of post factum rationalizations of irrational decisions.

Go is much more fun to use than C

I actually think the other bullet points are correct. I just don't believe they are the reason for making the decision.

Right. But this comes with the cost of having to wait several days to be able to transfer money, or having your account locked for triggering fraud detection, or extremely low interest payments on the profits the bank makes from loaning your money out.

Bitcoin has none of those costs, but you have to take on all the risk of getting defrauded. For some, especially people who understand security, bitcoin seems like the better deal.
