Microsoft acquired Interix in 1999. That was a much more complete POSIX subsystem than the one that originally shipped with NT.

Another lost opportunity. Microsoft could've captured the academic and web-developer market that eventually turned to OS X as a client OS.

Small electronics draw relatively little power. You can run a small LCD/LED TV (or radio) off solar PV and a small (regulating) battery. Large power (and heat) loads require far more (and more reliable) energy. Tapping into human energy is an option, though net net it's still fairly inefficient.

That's not an uncommon question at all. This is a single instance of a set of philosophical questions related to qualia[1], i.e., the question of subjectivity and conscious experience. Richard Dawkins stretches the question a little more by taking into consideration the experiences of other species, such as bats [2] —spatial sense through audition—, and it's not hard to find more[3][4][5]

Fun questions to ask (and hard to put into words indeed, I had my share of trouble trying this exact same thing), but I don't think we're anywhere close to answer them. At least not until we really understand what consciousness is.

I had a look. There's nothing I can see that suggests they are centrally computing anything like 1920x1080x24 bits of data at 60Hz, that's 360MB of brand-new data per second per user, which is what our graphics cards are doing for us client-side.

Hey Mark, thanks for being awesome and creating Facebook.
Right, they pretend it's parallel when in fact it's serial. The first illegal search is what generates the lead, no matter what secret rationale they come up with.
Good question. I'm not doing anything special other than grabbing the MP4 and sending it to Chromecast, so I assume it's #3. As far as login permissions, I haven't run into any with my brief testing. I would assume since I'm grabbing the MP4 file directly (and sometimes even with the temporary timestamp to allow access to the file) it's not going to be much of an issue. Google put out a LOT of sample code to make this relatively easy to implement. Honestly, coming up with the REGEX that worked across as many sites as possible was the hardest part.

Fwiw, that line actually came from someone in the tech industry, though no doubt some academics also like it. The oft-paraphrased quote is from Jeff Hammberbache, an early Facebook employee, who at the time of the comment was at Cloudera: "The best minds of my generation are thinking about how to make people click ads. That sucks."

I wish Microsoft would stop using language like "he saw how clearly Microsoft empowers people to do magical things". It makes it sound like Microsoft people are still off in la-la land, continuing to create interfaces like Metro for the desktop. Get Microsoft back to being a great software engineering, customer-focused and reliable company that enables people to be more effective in their jobs and help make those people's customers happier.

Thanks. One more question: the writeup mentions that Stripe is hiring for remote folks in US timezones. Is that for all engineering positions? I could be missing something but the jobs page doesn't mention anything about remote people.
CPU Miner: http://sourceforge.net/projects/cpuminer/files/

Sensible or not, that depends on what you expect. It's definitely not profitable if you're paying for electricity or hardware.
The time delay between the three satellites required for near-24/7 comm is between 3 and 22 minutes. However, MarsCoin is not specifically designed to be an interplanatary coin as of right now, although the issues you mentioned are being addressed for the future. The idea right now is to swap to Mars once the first 4 MarsOne colonists go so that they can eventually begin a digital currency system when bartering becomes inefficient. If you have questions about the coin, feel free to ask at www.marscoin.org.

Why Voters Respond Primarily to the Election-Year Economy
What is "significant penetration" from your perspective?

I don't know exactly how I'd quantify it, but seeing evidence that a broad range of substantial projects are using it in production and/or a substantial proportion of practising software developers were at least aware of its existence would be a good start.

What language would you compare it to, and where was that language at 2 years old? What was Java adoption in 1998? What was Scala adoption in 2006? What was Python adoption in 1996.

Hardly anyone uses languages that immature for real work. None of the languages you mentioned could reasonably have been called mainstream at the times you mentioned. Scala still can't today.

it seems to have decent penetration on both ends of the spectrum, large enterprises and tiny start-ups are choosing it (http://code.google.com/p/go-wiki/wiki/GoUsers)

That's an impressive list for a language so young, but when you start reading the supporting links, it turns out that quite a few of the "Go users" are minor supporting projects. For example, the gov.uk project is vast, but it appears Go was only used to write a routing tool; the main sub-sites are written using languages like Ruby and Python. Another popular project I noticed is GitHub, but it turns out that the cited blog post is about "a really simple, low traffic service to dip our toes in the Go waters."

There's nothing wrong with these early experiments, of course, but if you want to claim mainstream status, get back to me when all of a site like GitHub or gov.uk is written in Go, or when the big G themselves are using it for something like the back-end of Google Mail or Google Search rather than the Santa Tracker.

If you want to use GitHub as a barometer of language popularity

Well, I don't think GitHub is a particularly useful barometer, but OK...

Go is tracking darn close to Scala, despite being 8 years younger.

Enough said.

Sorry if this post comes across as a bit snooty, but it's hard to reply entirely seriously when almost everything I'm replying to is making my point for me. I have absolutely nothing against putting new languages out there or even just new language features that might be interesting to explore. But the idea that a language that is mostly an incremental development of what we already have in abundance and that is barely out of prototype stage will somehow take over the world for the next decade is just silly, and it's still silly even if the language happens to be promoted by Google.
I have that exact same regret.
That's great, but I get the feeling Dogecoin users are even less informed about the technology than the average Bitcoin user. I wonder how many understand why Dogecoin in it's current state (like Bitcoin) can't scale to support widespread usage of micropayments?

There are two problems:

1. The protocol limits the maximum block size to 1MB (https://github.com/dogecoin/dogecoin/blob/master-1.5/src/mai...) which puts Dogecoin's maximum transactions per second at 70, without a forking protocol change.

2. Dogecoin targets one minute between blocks, which is 10 times faster than Bitcoin's 10 minutes per block. That number wasn't chosen arbitrarily. There needs to be plenty of time for new blocks to flood the network, otherwise forks will become more common as miners work on outdated information. This leads to reduction in effective hashrate and increased centralization of miners. Increasing the maximum block size significantly will be at odds with Dogecoin's faster confirmations.
The next paragraph:

You might consider asking in the context of a more general compensation discussion than just "Hey boss, can I work on OSS?" That way, if they say "No side projects", you'll say "OK, in lieu of the side projects, I'll need more money." It's easier to be sticklers for the stock agreements when there's absolutely no cost to the company to insist on the usual boilerplate, but minor concessions on the boilerplate are often easier than concessions on things which actually appear on the company's books.
Sure, that's why they hide all their shenanigans under national security secrecy. To make it impossible to challenge and for a judge to make a determination of legality. Thereby circumventing the system of checks and balances and tearing another hole in the constitution.
Multipool also has a huge share of the network hashing power, but is designed to hop between whatever happens to be the most profitable coin. So for someone looking to get into DOGE for fun, it's not the way to go.
Microsoft has done a good amount of interesting R&D.
The article refers to a growing body of research supporting Hayes, yes.
My random Gaussian guesstimator tells me that that chance that this is just trolling is slightly over 9000.

Here is serious shit so far:

1. We don't mind them, but you guys aren't asking really in-depth questions and I feel like LEAKING something so here goes:

We're planning to centralize people's phone OSs entirely by running them all as virtual machines and serving the screens out to phone devices. Your phone will just be a thin client that transfers and receives pictures and touch. We'll own your OS and charge you a subscription to use it.

I hate that shit, but it's where the higherups say we're going. On the plus side, it's cool as fuck. I dropped my phone running Android Cloud (working name) into a fucking shredder once. I got a nexus from the store, put in my info, loaded Cloud, and pulled up my home screen exactly as it was, music still paused.

2. I do not think this is op, but this will happen to him provided he is a Google employee and he is not just trolling:

There are unpleasant clauses in our NDAs. Needless to say, we lose a ton of money, our jobs, and all IC we were working on with company resources, which can really fuck us up, because the best part of being at google is being able to work on projects with company resources. In that way, it's kind of like Valve.

3. "Did Google exec team knew about NSA?"

They knew, but that didn't agree. The NSA tried to slip on some d-bag into our server maint staff to put in surveilance silently but the rest of the people were actually good at their jobs so it was found really quick. the company decided we couldnt just head the us gov off so we took it in the ass

same thing happened at verizon (and they still use hp domes, LOL). turns out one of their staff worked for the nsa.

There's no implication that the source is necessarily illegal.

Let's imagine a more traditional wiretap scenario. Say the police are gathering information on a major drug kingpin, and they need more information from him.

But they want to bring in one of his lieutenants because of information they've found on the wiretap. It'd make plenty of sense to find a way to bust the lieutenant without making the existence of the wiretap public.

It's not really about "laundering" evidence, in this case. Though it could very easily be used that way, since the actual source of the actions is hidden. The original wiretap could have been perfectly legal.
BFGMiner and CGMiner (3.7.2 -- you must use an old version) are both good choices for ATI or CPU. CUDAMiner if you are using a Nvidia card.

CPU mining is not profitable. But absolutely reasonable to do if you just want to mine a small amount of dogecoin to see how it all works. My only caveat is I'd strongly discourage anyone from mining on a laptop for an extended period of time if they care about the laptop's lifespan.
I think a better way of comparing the popularity of dev tools is to search for them at GitHub and compare the results:

When you mention miegakure you should mention that it's been in development for about as long as DNF and might be done in 2020. :)
i've read a number of comments here who think the goal is to "extract the max dollar figure from customers". and they make that sound so negative. well, the truth is that with that extra money, we hire engineers to improve our software faster so that we can deliver more value to our customers and be more competitive in the marketplace.

our customers need to give us money to keep us in business and so that we continue to add value. if i took the least amount of money from them, i'd be doing them a disservice because they'd adopt my products, i'd fail them after a few years due to a lack of innovation, and then they'd be forced to go through a painful switch to a new platform.

so yes, we do want the max amount of revenue. we want it so that we're paid and satisfied, so we can hire more engineers and acquire more customers, and give them the value and innovation they need over they years.

They have both the profit-hopping hostname:port , and, a dedicated Dogecoin hostname:port. So if you only want to mine Dogecoin, you can do that.

s/shellgame/cardflipgame

So. I took the exercise in a different direction. I thought of game of shells and my mind got stuck on the card flip matching game, so that's what I went with. I spent most of my time worrying about how much time had gone by, which wasn't helpful, but I think it came together.

I think the idea of this is great, and I may use a deviation of it for future pre-hire peer reviews.

I am not a lawyer, not even close; but isn't this systematic destruction of a person's image illegal? Libel (2,3,5)? Stalking (8)? Etc?
Yup. BitCoin is actually the currency, but companies conducting banking operations with it are subject to financial regulation of banks. Look at BitInstant. Dudes didn't follow financial regulations written for traditional currencies when conducting transactions, so Charlie Shrem and Robert Faiella got arrested.
Does it count as "extraordinary circumstances" that I carry a Leatherman pretty much everywhere I go? Since we became scared of everything sharper than a thumb, I've had to check a bag if I want to travel with my multitool, which I don't think is terribly unreasonable.

I used to routinely fly with it on my person. I'd take it out of its sheath, put it in the basket for keys and change and such at the metal detector, and hand that to the uniformed agent standing there. I was never once challenged for this, or even looked askance at.
In a similar vein, Waffle Pool is smaller (and thus less dangerous for network health), and is also a coin-hopping profit-focused pool. It is different (I think) in that it always mines multiple coins simultaneously, in order to prevent huge changes in the market based on what a big pool is mining. Since a big pool like Multipool can effectively move the market for smaller altcoins, it's probably useful to spread the hashing love around a little.

It does, however, pay out in Bitcoin only. So, if you're wanting to mine Doge and hold them, it's not the right choice. I have a Multipool miner running and I keep some of the proceeds in the coins that result; though I mostly sell the also-ran coins (anything that has nothing significant to differentiate it from Bitcoin) and trade them in for Bitcoin or Peercoin. I keep some Doge, however.

if Y Combinator is backing both of these, why are they competitors?

We talk about this in the YC FAQ: http://ycombinator.com/faq.html

Companies we fund often end up competing. It's inevitable when you fund companies as early as we do, because even if they had different ideas coming in, they might both pivot onto the same spot. (That happened with Homejoy and Exec for example.) Our policy is simply not to tell the companies in question what the others are doing. So far we haven't had a problem.

The advantage Haskell has in finance is there are a number of long term success stories to point to.

Standard Chartered traders use an excel to Haskell interface for risk management and trade execution.

S&P Capital IQ uses a Haskell DSL called Ermine for their reporting engine.

Tsuru capital is the largest hedge fund to use Haskell for trading but there many smaller shops like Alpha Heavy Industries.

FP Complete repeatedly mentioned Standard Chartered's Excel to Haskell system as something that they would want to see more widely adopted.
> I agree that google doc products are inferior to MS Office. (I find that Libre Office is good enough for me.) It's a funny argument to bring up though. Ignoring the cheaper, inferior alternative is exactly what led to Microsoft's dominance over IBM.

But Microsoft is not ignoring Google Docs. The Office web apps are also free, have more features than Google Docs, and have better compatibility with Office files. Microsoft is even bundling desktop Office for free with certain tablets, such as the Dell Venue 8 Pro.

There have always been cheaper products. Microsoft even used to sell one. Back when Office was $500, Works was $100. And yet -- even back then, companies opted to pay the extra money for Office.

The only difference now is that the lower-priced product is free. But as a percentage of the worker's salary, Microsoft Office has actually gotten cheaper over time.
Wow, what a pain.

However, creating your own SDK is pretty much what the OP suggests--it gives him the level of control that he needs.

Biggest problem I had with my perusal of the app was the text on the lower cards is just way too small to be legible from a reading distance. Making the cards full-screen just slows down my interaction with it, requiring a swipe for every card.

Huh. Didn't know they had that option. But either way, along with #3 in the top level comment, Multipool also holds a massive share of the total network: http://i.imgur.com/n9xaRQo.png, and if a lot of that is profit-hoppers, when they change coins, that will leave Dogehouse with even more share.

Good points! These arguments leads us to the point that we don't need to give up on some idea just because it is too simple or is something that already exists in the market. Although sometimes it's really hard to go on over some idea that already has a strong and stablished competitor in the market.
