Population density vs voter turnout
The voter turnout, i.e. the percentage of eligible voters who cast a ballot in an election, has been related with the population density of the 1206 municipalities of the italian region Piedmont.
The voter uncertainty is calculated as the Shannon entropy of the partition defined by the votes assigned to every delegate, and it reflects the heterogeneity of the electoral preferences in a given municipality.

You're referring, I think, to opportunistic encryption. As Brad Hill pointed out yesterday: the security situation with HTTP/2.0 opportunistic encryption is analogous to that of OS X with the SecureTransport TLS validation bug. In neither case is "encryption" any more than cosmetic.
So make the web look like apps, as Firefox OS does.
They'd still have their money if they had just avoided BTC altogether. You, as an end user, are probably never going to be in a position to really make an informed judgement about any particular exchange, the validity of the protocol, or much else, really. The latter things you can feel reasonably sure of because they've been vetted by a lot of people, but there's always the possibility that someone has missed something.

> Bitcoin really is a currency of “mere agreement” then you can begin to see that its mainstream acceptance will genuinely herald the dawn of a new age of human civilisation. And don’t be too quick to take that last statement as hyperbolic praise – it might be a statement of supreme pessimism about its potential for success, depending on your point of view.

Have you considered a career in science fiction or as a song writer?

"I'm torn between the light and dark,
Where others see their targets,
Divine symmetry.
Should I kiss the viper's fang,
Or herald loud,
the death of Man.
I'm sinking in the quicksand,
of my thought,
And I ain't got the power anymore."

I think David Bowie put it a little bit better and he did come up with a pretty great melody and chord progression for the tune, but don't let that get you down, you gotta start somewhere, right? I think he said it better because he had the ability to discern the difference between fantasy and reality. He then learned to channel his apocryphal visions in to art. You're wasting your talents here in reality, my friend!

Training Deep Learning Models in a Browser: Andrej Karpathy Interview
The 15 minute refund isn't really long enough to decide if you like an app, and definitely not long enough for a game.
I do believe Mark Karpelès' LinkedIn Summary is due for an update:

"... I have a long experience in company creation, and experienced almost any imaginable kind of trouble. Now is the time to create something that will be solid enough to handle any situation, anytime."
By 'think' do you mean 'comprehend the text you're reading' in this context?
>> "I already have 30 apps on my phone, some of them very good. Do I need another one? I don’t use the 30 I have."

I hate seeing this argument. Why do you have those 30? Why don't you delete them? Having 30 apps on your phone doesn't mean you don't need more apps. They aren't all the same. It's not like saying 'I have 30 cans of diet coke in the fridge why do I need another?' It's more similar to 'I have sausage and diet coke in the fridge, why should I buy these vegetables'? Because they solve a different problem than the things you already have.

I think the reason people are reluctant to spend money on apps is the same reason they are reluctant to spend money on music or movies no matter who convenient it's made for them - people don't see value in digital goods as easily as they see it in physical goods.
Is it possible the individuals formerly known as MtGox are not controlling this page anymore? Istr the domain got transferred a few days ago.

In any case, notwithstanding MtGox's ineptitude, I find it hard to imagine this comment being inserted for internal use only. I don't think it refers to anything they needed reminding to mention on their website.

A Bitcoin is not anything useful by itself. You can't melt that hash down and plate electronics with it.

But you have hit on an important point, because throughout history almost every empire bankrupted itself at one point or another when it made a big find of gold, and quickly mined and spent a lot of it presuming it was rich...and instead, tanked its currency valuations and found itself much worse off because not only had they inflated the hell out of their currency, they'd not adjusted any of their tax rates to match.
I am not sure why they keep toying with us. If you are dead mtgox just say so, people can then grieve / rejoice and move on!
How is this any different than sending cash to Paypal which then creates an account you use to buy things on eBay with?

And before you say "more regulation" - Paypal is not a bank and operates as a money transfer service. They can and have frozen people's accounts out before.

The reason the methods are so strange is that most other method allow the buyer to do a chargeback and scam the seller.
Or that he's written low level display code that behaves exactly that way. I have. It was for a LCD display module on a 68HC11 microcontroller probably in the mid 90s. It was something like a 4x16 and you inevitably have to make some value judgements in your "display a string" subroutine about what to do when stuff doesn't fit on a line. It only had a quarter K of ram and not much more onboard eeprom so I never tried to display thousands of letters. My eventual strategy was overwriting (keep it small and simple).

What do you do with a quarter K? It was basically a very slow beamwidth analyzer for LEDs using a photodiode and a R/C servo. So the 3 dB down aka half power beamwidth of this integrated LED and diffusion lens system measures as X degrees. Kind of important if you're making LED based signs. I believe I was only using about 4 bytes of memory. No need for interrupts as it had a rather advanced hardware timer system that made excellent PWM for driving servos. The world is full of interesting problems that require lots of computation but very little stored state.

> The plan was instead of just having MtGox make a statement saying 'we are insolvent, no more money' they would team up with the other exchanges and come up with a plan where they could wrap that news around some 'good' news.

Not really, the problem lies in its naming. Comments that explain what the variables represent signify that they should have been better named in the first place to avoid any confusion.

It would depend if you include large-scale bank frauds as 'robberies'. Or, indeed, if the 740k BTC all went to one person/organisation, rather than a lot of opportunists.

"As people watch asset prices rise and people make money herding mentality kicks in and many people jump on the bandwagon with hopes of grabbing some of the riches."

A few too many mixed metaphors in this article! I'm trying to imagine herds of people jumping on a bandwagon...

What is a bandwagon anyway, I realise now I've never known - it's only ever used in the phrase/cliche "jumping on the bandwagon".
The TrustedProxy standard specifically documents that it not be invoked for HTTPS URIs. TrustedProxy doesn't interact at all with TLS the way it's understood now.

Is it possible to fine the bit coins that were stolen and then effectively devalue them? One thing the miners should be able to do is refuse to verify transactions with the stolen BTC.
Next sentences:

Labeling the data as such potentially generates one instance of the
static data inside each compilation unit, including that header. Fixing
these issues has led to measurably smaller and faster executables.

When you include that header in two different .cpp files, which compile to two different .o files, you have that data twice, local to the .o file (compilation unit).

Now link them together and you have that data twice in the executable. You probably did not want that. (But -- as with some more of their examples -- maybe you did indeed want that?)
"Realtime being fundamentally integrated with an app or website" comes with the assumption that the visitor is always connected. This might not always be true especially for the mobile user. Users would appreciate a functional site that works well despite the intermittent connectivity than one that shows a spinning loader.
Neither cmd, nor PowerShell are the console host (which would be doing things like outputting text in a character grid), so they're both very far removed from the problem. Heck, when a console program is running it doesn't even need a shell, nor does the parent shell (if there is one) even know when the program outputs text.
I'd certainly pay $2 a month to get art instead of ads.

> Trying to get a patch into Linux as a new developer without [personally] knowing one of the (sub-)lieutenants is a futile exercise.

You're totally wrong about "personal" part.
Right but what I'm saying is: this is not indicated when it's presented to you. And worse, it's not clear how it interacts - i.e. does TextSecure send an SMS with a hash to find the real message, or does it check if both devices are online (I now know its the latter).

But there's no way to tell at the most important moment - when this new thing is being put in front of me, and claiming to do things with a service that has a usage charge to me.

It would be much better if SMS defaulted to off, it was made clear what it was, and SMS Push added as a "would you like to?" option instead.
Do you have your answer now?

It was mostly Assembly, Turbo C, Microsoft C or DJGPP in the later games

Making the sound card work -> sucked (especially with interrupts >= 10)

Multithreading -> Non existent / roll your own

Graphics -> VGA or Vesa. Vesa was nice except for one small detail (next point)

Real mode -> Awful! The bane of developers! Going from "16-bit" to 32-bit protected mode is like going from the worse stick-shift car to an automatic modern car.

The reason this also influences VESA is that VGA fits into a segment 320*200 = 64k anything bigger doesn't.
What are the perks for founding members?
I've been ranting like a lunatic about this for at least 7 years. It is well documented the cost of a text is equivalent to that of a uncompleted phone call. A consumer group has finally noticed? The timing is perfect as phone providers switch profit centers from texting to data plans. Don't be surprised if telecoms start offering free texting in the near future. Now when is a consumer group going to notice that inkjet printer ink is $8,000.00 per gallon?!
Or how about just combining all those variables into an array named "iterator_powers" or similar? There could be another one, "iterator_multipliers" containing 3, 5, and 7. I don't know if this is actually a "best practice" or rule, but I've found that if I want to name variables after numbers, usually what I'm trying to do should be using an array.

Well - that's certainly the most charming jibe I've received about my writing. I tip my hat to you sir.

I would be keen to know your opinion after reading the whole article. I assume you haven't - because I do at least make an argument for that claim, and you don't attempt to address it before calling me deluded. Given the large amount of effort I put into that article, don't you think I might deserve this much at least?
It's on our request list. If we get a lot more then we'll add it as starter.

However, it's supported and you're welcome to run it :)
I hate to say it, but from an engineering/UX perspective, a secure and reliable federal identity API would make a lot of sense.

As long as they're going to have a blacklist like this, they may as well do it correctly. Names do not individually identify people and it's ridiculous that security-sensitive processes still use names as primary identifiers in this era.

You're also not actually losing any anonymity - an online order is already linked to a physical address and a credit card (which is in turn linked to a real identity). A central ID API only gets Big Brother-ish if its use is mandated for previously pseudonymous interactions (say, HN or Reddit comments).

Not true in idiomatic English. Any language other than your 'first' can be called a 'second language'. As a common example of this usage, courses to learn English for non-native speakers are called "English as a Second Language (ESL)" - no matter how many other languages the students already know.

Perhaps it is a generalisation, but if they notice that, say, people who mention money are 50% less likely to be successful, they'll probably keep that in mind and perhaps at least deduct some mental points for it.
The "old way" is actually to install a new CA on the device. Then the proxy can just dynamically create dummy certificates signed by that CA.

This is simple on the client and avoids any security warnings. It's supported in quite a few firewalls and even squid, so it would be very easy for a carrier to roll out tomorrow if they needed to.
The article is bullshit.

Here are the real three lessons we have learned the hard way.

#1 My money stays in my wallet. All the time.

#2 If not possible #1, know the names of those who keep your money, you're trusting them, they should be held accountable and strongly punished by law to set a precedent. Do not trust your money to a faceless business.

#3 Cryptomoney is the future, spend more in research, protect wallets, methods to test solvency, public audits, webs of trust, etc.

This tragically had to happen so we could learn these lessons. Monetary darwinism at its best.

We will raise from the ashes stronger, Spartans.
"Yes, JavaScript, HTML and CSS is a mess and it's hard, but it won't always be." - Let's wait till then.
Another problem is that you need some permissions for even the most basic functionality.

Let us assume I'm making a singleplayer game that happens to take more space than 50MB. For that I need internet and external storage write permissions in addition to network and wifi state etc (see http://developer.android.com/google/play/expansion-files.htm...)

And all this because the persons designing android thought that 50MB is enough for all applications and thus made their package manager to cap packages at 50MB. Imagine if .deb or .rpm would be 50MB max.
Impressive. It has been a long time since I signed up on any hosting plan just to give it a spin.

Something on the page convinced me somehow to try it out and 5 minutes later I am happily viming through SSH at some index.html in a html5 boiler plate. I suppose that is because there are no credit card required (important for me as I don't have, don't need and don't want one).

The set-up process was really smooth.
