I am quite certain that they are not allowed to retroactively change the ToS and access the data legaly.

That doesn't mean that they won't. Perhaps they will just do it behind the curtains, offering better Facebook Friend links.
An ironic comment, considering that appears to me to be a misuse of "abelian group." Abelian groups are those whose group operation is commutative, which has nothing to do with the code examples provided.
I was under the impression that you can build up your tolerance to the sun by slowly increasing your exposure to it each day. Does this not apply for certain skin types?
Unit tests may cost time initially, but saves more time later.
Seems that way from the signup form. :/
Yeah, kind of like internet people in 90's ;)
Try Linode. Far better service in every way. I've done similar things on Linode (as well as used it for SSH tunneling to appear in a different country to reality), never a problem.
Most ToS state that their terms are subject to change. I do not know whether or not a company has to explicitly state that the terms provided are perpetual, but there are lots of examples of companies changing their ToS retroactively.

For example:

What do those code samples have anything to do with abelian groups? Abelian groups are those whose group operator is commutative, i.e. a + b = b + a for all a and b.

The code examples seem to be referring to the existence of an identity element, which is necessary for all groups.
Only he doesn't really know how it works. He apparently thinks it's just about peer-to-peer networking, that's why the idea seems so trivial to him. In the AP video he alludes to the fact that he "never communicated with Bitcoin", further demonstrating that he believes it's about networking and not cryptography. He really doesn't know.

I've said it before in the other threads but it bears repeating. What Newsweek did was shameful and it looks to me that this guy is a very unlikely candidate. He still has money problems in real life, as well as severe health problems. Framing him as SN is irresponsible.
I could not find a privacy section anywhere on the site. I think you should have that, considering you want people to trust you with their locations.

Yes, I'm on the far end of the bell-curve there, because I cheat, and have actual rewards for people who donate (it's a game development blog). But a surprising portion of those who donate say "no thanks, don't want anything," so that isn't the entire reason.
That is pretty damned cool.

Of course you should, the problem isn't that it isn't possible to serialize a transaction, the problem is that the default is optimistic. I can only imagine that there will be quite a hefty performance impact if serialized transactions were the default, so I understand their reasoning.

The main issue is cost, as always; the keyboards from that era (IBM Model M and such) cost $100-$150 at the time, which would be even more nowadays. The hardware in those was much more as you'd expect it to be. The technique described in this article is much simpler to make, requires no soldering, etc.

You can splurge on a more expensive keyboard (I have a Filco Majestouch at home) that don't use this cheap techinque and have a much better feel.
Skillfully phrased, you get nods from both camps ;)
Looks like it uses exactly the same principle as http://www.thetileapp.com.
Are you talking about some other answer from top one? The one that takes index of current month and prints it? That looks pretty straight forward to me.
They teach the very specific facts and steps necessary to correctly answer the very narrow range of questions they know will be on the tests. They do not teach critical thinking, research skills, or fundamental concepts. Doing so would risk an unacceptably high failure rate. They must drill the precise information necessary to pass the test into every student, no matter their relative intelligence, language skills, or medical conditions, because it would be catastrophic to their careers to have students fail.

For seven hours each day, children in need of everything from individualized, therapist-aided teaching methods to nothing more than "here's a library, go nuts" are packed into overcrowded classrooms and drilled on the same crap.

Look at that Grade 8 New York test. Realize that is being given to 12-13 year olds. Realize I could have gotten 80% of it right in 4th grade at a school where a few slower kids didn't risk the career of their teacher.

This is what standardized testing does.

I don't understand - could you be more specific?

Since you clearly won't read the tests I linked to, I'll copy&paste from it:

At night Belle [the authors nickname for the Brooklyn Bridge] was dressed in tiny lights that spanned her limbs. On a cloudless night like this one, she was a sight like no other sight in the whole city....

When does this passage take place?

Is it short or tall students who don't need to be able to read the above paragraph and determine when the passage takes place? Do fat students not need to know how to compute area or simplify (x^2 y^3)(x^4 y^2)?

They increase far out of proportion with their actual educational value, leaving behind everything else.

Of the topics on the 3 specific tests I linked to, what material is "far out of proportion with it's actual educational value"? I'm asking for problem #s with explanations.

Use your critical thinking skills and reference the source material, don't just repeat talking points that you learned via rote memorization.
Yup. It's purely badass value.
Well, the other problem is Europa is not an easy mission by any stretch. It's airless - so wave goodbye to parachute landings, which means we need to carry all the propulsion we need to decelerate into orbit with us.

No magnetic field either, so tethers for orbital adjustment are out to. And it's flying out to one of the more radiation hard environments in the solar system, where we have very little data on what exactly it'll experience.

And it's going to be a long long way a way. 1 hour signal round-trip time.

Satoshi/Dorian just wants to be left alone and distance himself from it all; the press conference (if you can call it that) and this is all a big cry for having people leave him alone.

He's probably already taking steps to change his identity and location.
Not even that. They have "crowd-sourced" location service of your items, meaning that each of their users acts like a scanner for all tracker devices out there. This is ripe for abuse.

I feel like I should know more about it since I spent so much time writing Perl in the 90's, contributing modules to CPAN, etc. It seemed like the de-facto language for dynamic web sites for a while. I have to admit I never fully understand what Perl 6 was going to be. It seemed like it was going to be a language-agnostic runtime. Then it seemed to become a spec with no implementation. After a while I sorta lost track.

Have things changed and Perl 6 is ready for production? Are there people building things with Perl 6?

Not just the US. Netherland stupidly insists on following the US in this, despite it being abundantly clear that the F-35 (or JSF, as it's usually called here) is a fiasco. But it's American, therefore it must be superior to anything else.

Our airforce is usually a bit more than 100 fighters. Always has been. Now we're going to get about 30 F-35s, and they're going to be slower and less maneuverable than our old F-16s. But they have stealth, and some other fighters that we don't have can take off and land vertically, so it's all good I guess.

I seriously think this is going to be the end of western air supremacy.
language is whatever people want it to be
Developing an experimental language is a huge effort. And that effort becomes much larger if the underlying runtime environment causes problems.

So either you need a proven, stable VM (JVM, .NET, mono, ...), or you need to have control over it, so that you can fix problems you encounter.

Basing it on an experimental VM that you don't have control over, and that might have slightly conflicting goals (dynamic vs. gradually typed, for example, different calling conventions for routines) is precisely the problem we had with parrot, and we don't want to replace the parrot problems with pypy problems, we can avoid it :-)
I feel like you can say anything on HN and there will be someone who is doing it and can evangelize it. Let's try an experiment:

"I wonder if anyone has ever tried to run a startup out of a cave..."
Pretty much all ToS have a clause that states that the terms can change any time. Where services differ is whether they'll provide you with advance notice (or if you're expected to check for changes yourself!), and if you are able to close your account and have your data removed (I believe this is required in the EU).

Looking at http://www.whatsapp.com/legal/, it appears that WhatsApp falls into the "we can change our terms without letting you know" category, and I don't see anything about their data retention policy :-(
Every video I've ever seen of the A-10 involved it doing nasty things to tanks with its gun, at the very least rendering the tank inoperative. From wiki, sounds like it uses 5:1 mix of ~1 pound AP and HE rounds.

Like greedo alluded to, MBT armor is usually concentrated in the front (and angled) to defeat rounds from other tanks fired from roughly on the level, they tend to skimp everywhere else, and especially on the top.

My assertion is simply that this woman most likely just cannot tell if the man she saw three years ago is the same man as she saw in NewsWeek today, however much she believes it[0], so the actual information I'm willing to believe in her report is that an old Japanese man was using bitcoins in New York in 2011. If you think that information is the smoking gun that says Dorian must be Satoshi, ok but I don't see it. When you say 'distinguish this Nakomoto from another Nakomoto' it sounds like you think she knew the customers name, which doesn't match my reading of the anecdote.

[0]obviously it's possible it'll turn out she is Japanese/very familiar with Japanese people and therefore probably can tell apart two Japanese men with very little to go on, but I'm working on the assumption that is unlikely for a woman running a crepe shop in new york
Please, for anyone worried about their health and weight, consider a ketogenic diet.

It is restrictive: high fat, very low carb, adequate protein. However, it is comparatively easy to maintain since a high-fat diet leaves you feeling much fuller.

After the adaptation phase (~3weeks) your metabolism shifts to becoming much more efficient at burning fat. As a result if you go on a slight calorie deficit, the rest of the calories come from stored fat and you don't feel hungry.

Many people do these diets for nutritional health (myself included). There is lots of new research about it and while its nutritional benefits may be debated --its well understood to be the most effective way to loose fat sustainability.

ketotic.org is a good place to start research on it. It has research summaries on ketogenic diets by Zooko Wilcox O'Hearn (a well-known cryptographer and open-source dev of Tahoe-LAFS) and Amber Wilcox O'Hearn, a researcher who found that a stricter variant of a ketogenic diet completely cured a major health issue of hers.

reddit.com/r/keto is actually the best place to start once you've decided you interested. They have a good FAQ and the focus is mostly weight loss.
Student A took test X and got an 86. Student B took test Y and got a +++. How do you evaluate whether one or both students are making adequate progress?

That is the patent-pending bit, unfortunately.

Here's the Spritz patent application:

The idea is that by using resistors (which are much cheaper than diodes), any "indirect paths" that go through more than 1 switch between the rows and columns will decrease the voltage sensed on those, while the voltage on the ones that go through only 1 switch is higher.

They say they've patented this technology but in fact it's been used for (smaller) keypads with microcontrollers for a long time before that; I remember reading some application notes that showed this technique.
Couldn't you just change the location to some place where the sun actually set at around the time you wanted to stop working?

You don't need to test every single kid to figure out broad trends.

To determine the performance of an individual teacher, you pretty much do. You want to measure teacher performance from a sample of 5/30 students? Too noisy. Even 30 students is far from ideal.

Testing every child is also a great way to prevent schools from "randomly" cherrypicking which students take the test.
> "And journalists, for their part, have a long tradition of careful and nuanced thought when it comes to weighing private interests against public ones."

I'm sure some do, but as a whole? Come on.
It's not something that can be taught. It's an instinct.
Also, assertions only flag code that gets executed when you test it. Unless you can be sure that you have tested every possible execution possibility before shipping, you cannot know if after shipping your code will execute something that you missed during testing. This happens a lot.

Additionally, the unit tests allow me to safely maintain the code from the comfort of my own desk. If I relied only on assertions then I would literally have to send changes to all possible users and ask each of them to please test and tell me if they got any assertions. And do this for me three times a week for the next two years.
Yeah, they only take plutonium and heroin. Might be sketchy.
Want to track a human? Just plant a tag in their purse/on their car.

So much abuse. I hope there is some legislation out there that prevents such devices.
What abuse? Apart from tagging valuable objects in a way that makes them easier to find. That let's someone could go through apparently deserted areas (like after a concert) and find valuables left behind.

But the actual privacy part shouldn't be too bad, right? They could use a time-based code, so that each beacon transmits a seemingly-random ID every minute, and only their servers can link that up to something.

If it's static, then yeah, it's like tagging yourself. Or carrying a modern passport. Or phone or laptop. It's a shame that most people will probably not really care about this aspect.
One thing that Bitcoin has going for it is you can follow the money.
A pencil in space is a very bad idea. It will create floating graphite shards that are conductive and could short out critical equipment (as well as not being great health-wise).

Actually, even though it is an urban legend, it is something I could see the USSR doing with their disregard for their astronauts' safety.
Your analogy works only in the particular case of industries where there's public and private competition; it doesn't apply to many cases. For example, my country doesn't have any private toll roads. How would working for the State prove that it's more effective than toll roads?

And believing that the State cannot be effective is just one of the reasons to oppose its growth. There's more opposition to the State besides the Tea Party, you know?
What are we looking at here? Total of 180000 bitcoins from 5 different accounts to one account? Something else?
That really depends. If you need a richful module ecosystem then you won't be that lucky. But if your task would be doable with the many built-ins (and the modules shown on modules.perl6.org), then I'd say use it.
I see that I am way more expressive and faster to solve tasks in Perl 6 then, say. Perl 5.
(Besides I have to hack PHP at work in many cases. rant!)

And yes, there are ppl who use it for production, but I am not sure that matters much when there tasks might be totally different to yours?
Are we looking at something specific or is just a random transaction ?
Fine with that. IE8 is EOL next month with the death of XP. Vista+ will take newer browsers.

Vista is stuck on IE9 but after that its IE11 for all.
Is the implication here that this is some of the stolen Mt Gox coins? Or is this just a large transaction and interesting because of that?
Aren't there like a dozen of this type of device/ecosystem right now? I really don't see any reason to buy into this type of thing before one really differentiates itself from the rest. I'm glad there are lots of options... but honestly, it's like standing in the paper towel aisle at this point.
For a laymen like myself, why is this particular transaction posted here? Is this recently stolen coin or something, or just a curiosity because it's such a ridiculously large amount?
Sure, it seems like every time you get to the whole truth, the truth just divides itself into smaller and smaller pieces and falls out of your hands. Eventually, though, there must be some fundamental smallest unit of truth that is much smaller than an entire truth. We should come up with some sort of name for this smallest possible division of Bitcoin truth....
2.x is EOL and only remains for legacy programs. A backwards-incompatible change won't even be considered for this branch.

You find out that your best programmers write code than the others, so you decide to track how much code each one has added to the source.

I linked to real tests elsewhere in the thread.

You find that the best students can compute the area of a rectangle given a ruler and simplify (x^3y^2)(x^4y). You start testing that, and you know what happens next: all your students can compute area given a ruler and simplify algebraic equations.

Wait, isn't that a good thing?
I get up at 4 am every day and eat breakfast. I still overeat.

I've swung back and forth between 280lbs and 220lbs for the last 5 years. I'm currently around 250lbs.

I've been under 260lbs for almost 2 years now and I still have to starve myself constantly to get back down to 220lbs even though I sleep well. Nothing works. It's all pain. I eat too much and I'm miserable or I eat just enough or too little and I'm miserable. My ability to figure out when I'm full is completely broken. I'm either sated after having eaten too much or I'm starving.
Anyone know if they have added support for a second monitor for Mac?
