I missed the comment in the previous one, sorry about that.
I am not familiar with the theory but if I could get the writers information(right now I only have the directors) that would be interesting aspect of data to investigate.
The question, as always with markets, is how much of this is already priced in. The MtGox BTC price has diverged for quite some time and is currently at $115 which tells me that a lot of people are already assuming a low probability of ever seeing any of the money in MtG accounts again.

So, basically there are two scenarios and combinations thereof if they indeed lost all of the coins:
1) Most of a complete loss is already priced into the general BTC market and nothing much happens.
2) Once this gains more (mainstream) attention and the general public realises what has happened, the trust BTC had been able to gain evaporates and there will be strong sell-off.

I don't think it's possible to say which one it will be.

Wait, so in one post, you challenge HN's readership to prove that Comcast is a monopoly, and then two posts later you assert that cable is a natural monopoly. I'm confused what point you're trying to make.
Here's the whitepaper: https://github.com/StackMonkey/xovio-pool/blob/master/whitep....

Each provider (a user) installs their own OpenStack cluster, which includes a nova controller. That cluster runs a virtual appliance who's job is to watch a given Bitcoin address for payments. If it sees a payment it either starts an instance or resets a counter to keep an instance running. Payments by users are taken by the pool operator. The pool then starts micro drips to the instance, in most cases half a cent or so.

The pool I'm going to run will be at stackmonkey.com. If a provider shuts off their controller, something crashes, or there's a rig failure, only a small percentage of the total number of instances will be affected. Payments won't matter because the instance costs are so low, and the drip can be turned off when the appliance stops responding to the pool controller.

OpenStack makes this handy because it handles all the heavy lifting for starting and stoping instances, doing network setup, images, instance sizes, etc.

Initial audience for this low trust pool will be hackers, developers, testers, tor nodes, individuals, etc. Very low cost, highly ephemeral instances.

Apparently the answer had to do with terminal word-wrapping. A good test would be to write the output to a file instead of the terminal and compare the difference in timing.
I do not know what you are referencing, but in general radiation doesn't make you glow.
The best parts are the natural language inputs and inherent connectedness with data. These are going to eventually become expectations that you'll have interacting with computer systems in general.

Having a computer interface that lets you say, find out who in my office is sending the most email, in a one liner is the next logical step. Including and understanding your company / personal data in the way Wolfram Alpha understands its curated data is the missing link.

I'd be really interested in integration with enterprise resource planning software, and customer relational management software for big corps.

Just verified that this is not the case with dns

May be the case elsewhere (just no time right now to test this).

I would have started this reply by saying "not true" but
don't know if the particular dns manager at mediatemple.net is
setup in a way to be not compliant with the RFC.

Update: Upon further testing it does return a MX record but can't resolve the host name for the MX record.

just so we're clear, what is the provenance marker specifically in these slides?

AGPL is stupid and user-hostile.

Imagine if all of the major cloud companies' code were suddenly AGPL and released; it does you virtually no good without massive amounts of infrastructure and data. The GPL and its ilk were conceived in a different era of computing. Most people couldn't even afford the ability to run Google's internal applications even if they were released with full source.

There is a distinction these days between software and services provided with that software; indeed there is a lot of value and functionality added in that layer that the GPL virus people would love to get their hands on.

Unfortunately the "infrastructure and configuration is required to make it work" value being locked up can't be solved with a license - so it can't actually deliver the usual upside of the GPL. At the same time, it _does_ deliver the downside in the disincentive to actually add that value (as then you can't use it as a competitive advantage).

Don't wave the AGPL around as a feature; it's shameful.
Amazing piece of engineering, but I'll be holding out for the 128Gb version of their Cruser Fit as it protrudes less that a standard SD card adapter on my 2011 Air.

Haven't had much luck with microSD cards: I once bricked a 32Gb card after knocking the SD adapter again a chain arm on a train and had a failing 4Gb card get so hot it melt the provided USB adapter.

My Galaxy S4 uses microSD.

Use cases? Phones, tablets, GPSes, MP3/portable video players...?
I think thats the big mistake right there. You need to take into account that his actions are backed by knowledge that we do not have. So in order to say that his decision is wrong is the same as saying that "no knowledge he may posses can make his actions correct" which is a rather bold claim.
Yes, getting mail is a big deal on the street. I have a list of options here:

http://sandiegohomelesssurvivalguide.blogspot.com/2013/04/ma... Some are specific to San Diego and are homeless service centers that offer a mailing address as one of their services. But some are not. If you have state ID and a voter registration card, you can get a paid mailbox from a place like Mailboxes, Etc.

Since you know this is an issue, you could try putting together a listing of local resources (and borrow ideas from that page) and give out "business cards" with the info. Getting info on the street can be very challenging, especially when you first hit the street. (Just thinking out loud. No pressure. Honest.)

(I cannot really help with the other issues. I am pursuing freelance work and other options and I am often mistaken for middle class. So a) I kind of "blend" somewhat and b) I am not applying for a job.)
You do understand Mexico is an actual country, right? And that nationals of Mexico are known as Mexicans, right?

The post was put on hold because the OP failed to provide the information the community would need to reproduce the issue. What good is a programming problem if no one else can reproduce it?

Disagree. OP failed to exclude some possibilities by doing multiple randomized trials and so on (or at least stating whether he had done so), but he supplied the source code and a description of the behavior that was perfectly adequate to understand the issue. Nothing personal, but your post above is the epitome of deflecting a question instead of engaging with it.

Really interesting use case. I'm super impressed with the concept, of automated data generation and gathering and having a common platform for the company. Perhaps the most impressive idea is that the data that is generated appears to be programatically accessible. I haven't worked in a large enterprise that has advanced past unsearchable and poorly indexed excel files that are manually manipulated/updated floating around on shared drives.

This wolfram implementation seems great, but I wonder about a lot of the annoying 'hard stuff' that would occur in a larger environment, handling of permissions different user roles etc.
You mean by giving it to MtGox to keep them solvent? That would be a crazy day.

Because there aren't many international broadband studies that incorporate cost and I don't see any Mbps/cost breakdown in the Akamai study. The FCC report incorporates Ookla data (Speedtest.net) which uses actual broadband speed and costs submitted by users. It corroborates the conclusions of the FCC study.

With respect to availability: There is a world of difference between 1Gps@$1000/mth and 1Gps@$50/mth though both qualify as 1Gbps availability.

Finally >10Mbps is pretty broad bin today and fails to meaningfully differentiate "very" high speed services.

Probably more relevant is the greatly reduced clock speed (ignoring that the brain doesn't so much have a centralized clock - neurons only fire at <1k Hz compared to the ~2k Ghz processors used in clusters).

The technology also seems somewhat incomparable. The purely chemical signal processing at the synaptic cleft presumably saves a lot of power.
I'm not completely convinced that hearing neighbours is that large of a problem for that many people. I can hear everything through the walls in my $1800 studio apartment (a very modern building), but hey, maybe that's just another example of San Francisco being a horrible place to live.
While I haven't had a chance to use illumos in any of my projects, the Service Management Facility (SMF)[0] and Fault Manager Daemon (FMD)[1] are two big reasons why I'm looking at switching from FreeBSD to an illumos variant for my home server.

It's been a little while since I've used Debian, but I don't believe any systems comparable to SMF or FMD have been implemented[2].

Exactly what is Palantir --- specifically Palantir, not nutball HBGaryFederal head Aaron Barr --- accused of doing unlawfully or unethically in this "dalliance"? Collecting public information for law firms isn't unethical.

Having one of your 27-year-old SEs eagerly working alongside Barr to move a deal forward has bad optics. But believing that Glenn Greenwald should be thwarted is an opinion that, while obviously objectionable on HN, not actually unethical.
Not sure how I feel about this.

I don't think it would make much odds for IMDB. Sure you'll maybe negate the overly high proportion of extreme votes, but I don't think that effect is large. I did once take the top films on IMDB and remove the extreme votes, and the effect was marginal - a few films shuffled a place or so. In exchange, if you use the median, you could have polarising films - like Twilight, having their ratings change markedly over time, as people decide to start warring over it and the numbers swamp the small number of ambivalents.

For your other point, there will be voting patterns for various demographics and certain groups of people prefer certain movies. But I think the phenomenon I'm describing is a bit too extreme to be merely a bunch of old women disproportionately taking a dislike to Ikiru and then rushing onto the internet to tell the world they hate it. It is the smallest demographic IMDB has, so it's not hurting the ratings of the films in general, it's just an oddity.
If memory serves, the original preprocessor that turned "C with Classes" into C wasn't written with a parser generator. I think your argument applies.
> “using online techniques to make something happen in the real or cyber world”

This isn't just an attack on the internet, as Greenwald portrays it, it's an attack on people and free will. It's intended to get people to do or say something that they might have done differently otherwise, in response to the "crime" of being a pain in the ass, or even a threat, to the powerful.

> In fact, the discussion of many of these techniques occurs in the context of using them in lieu of “traditional law enforcement” against people suspected (but not charged or convicted) of ordinary crimes or, more broadly still, “hacktivism”, ...

Is this the best we can do with this civilization, to wear away and destroy people because they're inconvenient to the powerful?
It says they can meet before doing to their cells.
Does it depend on the locale, perhaps?
Note how they very carefully avoid saying anything about write endurance or data retention... SanDisk had 4-bit MLC NAND almost 5 years ago so maybe they've improved their process, but if the retention and endurance characteristics of current 3-bit MLC is any indication, I'll pass on this --- it's almost certainly going to be 3-bit MLC, if not 4-bit.
Your approach is my favorite. I've had an assistant in the past to do just this kind of thing, but now that I'm doing a startup, I can't afford to do it anymore.

It would be great if there were a matchmaking service that teamed people up to do this for each other. I find that it's a lot easier to schedule someone else's tasks than your own—I'd love to trade task-making responsibility with someone else.

You could of had the advantage of people not knowing more about this type of work enlisted by governments/carried out by for-profit concerns, instead you choose to be highly corrosive in an attempt to elicit some reaction.

But by golly here you are again doing the same. So while your attention is clearly engaged upon me, could you answer the question above?

That Snowden handed it to you is the provenance marker. He claims to have jacked a whole bunch of shit from NSA, and has given no one particular reason to doubt him. If this is one file on media which he handed GG back in May 2013, GG has good reason to believe it was in fact jacked from NSA by Snowden.

Falsification would be a lot more likely if anyone handed you docs after Snowden went public, but before it was public, it was either a set up (by Snowden), or pretty strongly authenticated.

The arrow of time cannot be defeated.
And I look forward to the complete discrediting of the "Petrodollar" bunk in the immediate aftermath.
There is a story about the country hick who comes to the big city and gets a checking account. A couple weeks later, the bank manager call him up to tell him that he has overdrawn his account, that he has no more money. "That's impossible!" says the rube. "I still have 3 checks left!"

Too many programmers are woefully ignorant of how to write systems that handle money. Too often I have seen systems that treat money as floats, or have primitives that allow the creation and destruction of money. Accounting and banking have their own special set of rituals.

I think most programmers can understand this if they think about it a bit. Think about the lower quartile of coders [1] you know jumping in and writing a system to handle many kinds of money, including a novel kind that is poorly understood. Now put them under conditions of massive growth, conditions in which there is a shit-ton of money, fiat and crypto, arriving and departing in buckets.

I once saw a cartoon where a bank teller is saying to a worried-looking customer, "I'm sorry sir, there's not enough money in your account. Let me see if there's enough in somebody else's." I could easily believe that's what happened, here, the Dunning-Kruger effect writ large.

B) "Someone is gifting free interesting content to the site". That's the attitude that caused Yahoo! Answers. SE has a higher quality bar, so that there are good, answerable questions. If a question seems unanswerable to many (not due to incompetence but due to incompleteness/clarity/broadness/etc), then it is put on hold. It can be reopened if it gets fixed; putting it on hold lets it get fixed, whilst preventing answers (which might use the wrong interpretation, etc) while it is getting fixed. Saves time for all.
I think it's a bit far-fetched to claim that MtGox failing is an existential threat to Bitcoin. Once it becomes widespread knowledge that merchants can accept Bitcoin with no fees (up to $1M) and get the exact dollar amounts in their bank accounts, they will accept Bitcoin, and they'll prefer it. Some will prefer it to an extent that they'll offer discounts for using it. Consumers will buy Bitcoin in small increments the way they buy gift cards to get lower prices at grocery store gas stations.

Coinbase or BitPay losing their customers' money would be an existential threat to Bitcoin. MtGox? Not really.
The Beginner’s Guide to the Internet of Things
The community, not moderators, closed the question. The community also had an answer based on "Pure speculation" which means they can't replicate what the OP asked.

A user can gift all the free interesting content they want. But if it's not scoped or on topic, then it's not scoped for the site or on topic and would be closed and/or deleted. Just because Rodney Dangerfield turns up to your bedroom and starts making jokes doesn't mean it's the time or place.
