It's great to see the adoption of bitcoin payments by major players like Square and Stripe! Super exciting
You know, some time ago, I half-jokingly put forth the idea to some friends, that chromatic aberration will become the new lens flare, i.e. an effect to make rendered 3D graphics look like a movie shot with a cheap camera by an inexperienced cameraman on purpose. I get really sad each time I see one of these effects - they make the graphics worse on purpose to make them look like a bad movie and it wastes processing power.

If you do want to simulate a camera lens, I'm not going to stop you and wish you luck. However, if you want to render 3D images for humans to look at, I'd suggest putting in effects that are observable with a naked eye and not through a glass lens. Stuff like bright light blinding you, eye adjustment to varying light intensity and motion blur. I realise it's a bit harder to implement these effects, since you can't take a reference photo and compare, but I would really like to see someone try to render images as seen by a human and not a camera.
Hey! I'm the author and I'd be happy to answer any questions you might have.

Sucky?

Sucky is being stuck in endless traffic or getting a flat tire.

I'm talking about the disregard people have for the safety of others at times while on the open road. I want a safe drive, you want pokemon on the side of the road - I think somewhere on the path to those goals there are enough compromises we would both share.

Reply to the edit:

>Frankly, the behaviour of people on the road is and should be of zero concern to the developer of an app that has nothing to do with driving.

You want app developers to take possible use-cases and completely ignore them? That doesn't seem like a very good user experience.

> Maybe I'm biased because I find that too many people solve the transportation problem with cars when their use case is covered with bikes or public transports at lower costs. (Translation, I think that driving is stupid unless you got an excellent reason. Please don't list your excellent reasons.)

You are biased, and confirm it with your parenthetical statement.

People are going to own and use cars despite what your opinion on use-cases is. I personally would rather developers keep that in mind instead of just throwing a whole ton of crap out there that may actually affect my personal safety.

That said, I think the second point is slightly deviating away from the original topic.
"Marx never asked what might happen if intense global competition some time in the future forced entrepreneurs to introduce ever more efficient technologies, accelerating productivity to the point where the marginal cost of production approached zero, making goods and services "priceless" and potentially free, putting an end to profit and rendering the market exchange economy obsolete."

Uh, Marx did ask that question. It's called the tendency of the rate of profit to fall.

The problem with increased productivity and lower marginal costs is that labor, too, becomes less and less valuable. Supply of labor goes up; demand of labor goes down. People are more easily exploited.
Saving one click can increase conversions, and if you're doing any real volume even a tiny fraction of a percent can more than pay for the time involved in implementing something like that.

As to why it can't be detected and just neither asked nor shown, it's handy to show people where the CVV2 number is, and how many digits, as many people don't understand what it is even after repeated use. You'd be surprised how often I call in a food order with my Amex and have them tell me it's a 3 digit number on the back of the card. Even someone who takes CC numbers all day doesn't know that an Amex's CVV2 is a 4 digit number on the front, so you can't expect average Joe Amex user to know better.

Also it's nice to group the digits properly when I'm typing them in. So it's nice to have a form at least detect it, even for me.

If you want to be hear when we launch a Rails track, best way is to create an account on SlideRule. We send out a weekly newsletter that includes new stuff on the site.

Javascript track -- Not on the list right now, but tell us more. Do you know people who'll sign up for a waitlist? If we come to believe there's enough demand, we can expedite it.

Separately, I'm curious -- which bootcamp did you attend and how was your experience?

Also, checked out your profile. Domi sounds like an awesome idea with tons of potential!
IMHO most content of Wikia would be a good fit for Wikipedia. Data storage space is cheap, so why not collect all encyclopedic information of human mankind? Jimmy Wales has some conflict interests with both Wikipedia and Wikia. Plus some language versions of Wikipedia (e.g. German) are run by weird admins that delete or revert almost every new addition.

"Summers and DeLong focused their presentation on the new communication technologies that were already reducing the marginal (per-unit) cost of producing and sending information goods to near zero."

Yes, sending an email can be free.

By all means read all the good and bad articles about MySQL/MariaDB. Just keep in mind that the presence of detrators of a technology is not a sign the technology should not be used. Just think of all those articles proclaiming Java is dead.
I think it was a valid approach to the problem and I salute MS for it, but no - I don't like it. We considered it at work and felt we were fighting JS's natural tendencies too much.

Our decision is to deal with JS on it's own terms. Clojurescript would be appealing if it didn't involve an AOT compiler (and one that's not trivial to set up in Windows)
It isn't. It would be None. I believe parent is mistaken.
Some choice quotes:

> ...but Matti pushed the angle. And as the challenge went on we discovered that he had cornered Jon in a room to try and get him to speak poorly of Zoe, the only negative “story” they could muster out of all fifteen contestants.

> “Two of the other teams have women on them. Do you think they’re at a disadvantage?”
Silence. It was like the wind was sucked out of the room behind the barrier, but the floor was so loud only the two all-male teams heard the question. Mark answered diplomatically that the teams actually had a huge advantage by having more viewpoints, though everyone was strong regardless because of their skill. Matti cut him off, pulled back the camera, and coughed, “Stop filming. We’re not getting a story here.”

It's a pretty long article, so here's a TL;DR:

Maker Studios is a very large YouTube network (the one that was just bought by Disney for $500 million). They tried to create some sort of game jam, and invited some teams of indie devs to participate. It devolved into being some sort of awful corporate-backed reality show, and the devs were consistently disrespected. The guy with the misogynistic quotes above was the main problem, according to a lot of the people there. Trying to push contention, etc, for the sake of the "reality" aspect of it.

That dude got sacked, and the devs all walked away. Apparently the whole thing cost $400,000.
All things being equal I'd rather know more than less.

Remember, I'm not asking how many vendors keep the BSAFE default. I'm asking how many use BSAFE in a way where the RNG matters.
Hey there, I'm the CEO of Sift Science. Unfortunately, callmeed is spot on -- law enforcement typically won't get involved unless it's in the tens of millions of dollars, at least. Even trickier if it's across international borders.

This means that you're left to defend yourself. Typically, you'll start implementing some basic verification and rules in your code base. For example, "if num_credit_cards_per_destination > 5; flag_as_suspicious()". But, it's tough to be accurate with this approach, so you'll want to manually review activity flagged by rules, so that you don't insult your good customers. As your business grows, it's more challenging to scale these fraud detection rules and manual review operations. While adding more verification helps, it does negatively impact the experience for innocent customers. It's a delicate balance.

I wish I had better news. In some sense, seeing fraud means that you're on the map. Unfortunately that means you'll only attract more and more attention as your business grows. I'm happy to be a resource, even if we don't work together - jason at siftscience dot com.
"with information goods the social marginal cost of distribution is close to zero ... If information goods are to be distributed at their marginal cost of production – zero – they cannot be created and produced by entrepreneurial firms that use revenues obtained from sales to consumers to cover their [fixed set-up] costs … [companies] must be able to anticipate selling their products at a profit to someone."

1/N > 0 for N = (1,∞)

There is a very significant difference between a cost of distribution close to zero vs actually zero. So long as revenue costs are above zero, entrepreneurial firms can find a way to profit enough for food, clothing, and shelter.

There is a basic cost to survival (food/clothing/shelter/healthcare is not, and never will be, free), requiring everyone contribute something which another will consider valuable enough to exchange their work for. Confiscation of "excess" fails as it disincentives increased productivity. So long as people have a motive to either elicit value from their environment, or persuade others to trade that value in a mutually beneficial manner, capitalism will ensure enough productivity to provide for all ... and as marginal costs decrease towards (but not reach!) zero, incentive is there to accelerate productivity to match.
Are you aware of the history of cryptocurrencies and who is behind them? See http://www.cypherpunks.to/faq/cyphernomicron/chapter4.html#1...

The core people who worked on the algorithmic components that form the basis of Bitcoin, are not only sympathetic to Libertarianism, but are sympathetic to anarcho-capitalism.

I used to be heavily involved in cypherpunks myself (search for "cromwell" in the cyphernomicon, see my Anonymous Remailer stuff http://marc.info/?l=cypherpunks&m=85281458701690&w=2 or search Cromwell here http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~daw/papers/privacy-compcon97-www... to see my note on the Decense Project, one of the very first anonymizing web proxies), and I used to be a rabid libertarian myself and I can tell you from personal experience it's not an exaggeration to say where the sympathies of the creators are.

I personally developed cryptotools for anonymous double blind mailing lists (neither the recipients of the list nor the list itself know each other's addresses), shamir sharing, and distributed publishing, on the basis I believed I was defeating government surveillance and censorship. At the time, there was a vague notion that untraceable anonymity, absolutely secure communication, and digital cash would permit the creation of an online world which was 100% free of government.

"With this release, MariaDB 10.0 is now the current stable version of MariaDB. It is an evolution of the MariaDB 5.5 series with several entirely new features not found anywhere else and with backported and reimplemented features from MySQL 5.6."

I want to say yes, but as always, TEST FIRST.
Yeah, I agree. I didn't make that clear and I should have.
I actually thought this (indeed) to be a killer app.. But i checked it out and had problems with terrain identification with Google Maps...

Not a killer app for AR, but just a casual game like Ingress (mentioned in another app also)
I have been following this for a while. Seemed like longer than 8 months. I am curious to see the feedback once it has been thoroughly field tested. I have no problem paying the full price if it pans out.
So this is definitely cool, but I'm not quite seeing what the purpose or aim is.

Is the demo an accurate representation of the entire functionality?

If so, why do things "fall back" toward the left? Sometimes this jumbles the layout of other blocks quite a bit. I guess this brings me back to my original question: what's this for?

Finally, the UI component being a jquery plugin strikes me as being a downside. Though I use jquery all the time, components tend to be a little brittle when it comes to heavily dynamic sites (i.e. knockout/angular/react whatever), and given that jquery itself isn't trivial, adding lots of components to it makes me a little leery of the upgrade process (also something I've witnessed problems with).
> However, an even cooler move would be to make LLVM IR the official binary representation of OS X, and compile it as part of the install step of a new program.

I've wondered the same thing. In this respect the IR is analogous to Java bytecode, or C# CLI. In this context these share conceptual similarities, allowing for multiple languages to target the same runtime.

This would possibly open up iOS to being able to be more easily targeted by languages-that-aren't-Objective-C. As long as it compiles down to LLVM IR then this "binary" becomes language agnostic. (Actually, for all I know things like RubyMotion do this today. I haven't delved into it to find out.)

It necessarily follows. Even libertarians acknowledge that people's rights don't extend to hurting others. So any libertarian that opposes a smoking ban must believe that second hand smoke is a myth.
At the beginning of 3. does the HFT have your order or are you saying that the market moves before the HFT receives the order?

A specialized infrared system takes heat readings from the tank's surroundings and then actively matches the tank's heat signature to map the terrain.
Man, make this a little more battle-focused and this has massive potential!

Things i would like to see:

1. Require battles to catch new Mobbles, and maybe catch requirements. All very Pokemon(y)

2. Random battles/encounters. Walking to the store and bam, suddenly you have to fight :D.. should probably disable while driving hah.

3. Proximity Battles. Taking the bus/train/etc with people and you could challenge them, all without knowing who they were. You'd simply see a .. Trainer(?) nearby, and challenge them for additional xp/etc.

Very cool game nonetheless :)

edit: Turns out #1 is sort of done, but the battling in this game is very simplistic. Not sure if that's a good thing or bad thing haha

edit2: Yea, i'd kill for 4-6 move battling. This rock paper scissors thing will get old fast :/
'const' is a very good example and one I hadn't thought about. To some extent functional languages pass every function argument with const, since the arguments are call by value, rather than call by reference. At first glance this might seem to be disastrous in terms of performance if, for example, you pass in a list with 1,000,00 entries or something like that, but any reasonable implementation of a functional language provides ways of doing this without the excessive space and time costs that a naive implementation would have.
When you program with today's tools and all that we have, you forget very fast, how it was in the beginning and how difficult it is to start from scratch.

Today you always have some sort of compiler or cross compiler. Starting totally with nil (not even an assembler) is really not so simple.

This little article shows nicely, how bootstrapping can work. Pulling myself out of the mud on my own hair (like the Baron Muenchhausen from literature).

But don't forget: He still had the operating system not bootstrapped ... so repeating the whole computer history would need some more bootstrapping to do ....

Nobody can own namespaces. They're "just" acting as a middleman for buying names in Namecoin in a namespace they've defined themselves, but anyone could bypass them and buy their own names in that namespace.

The annoying thing is, we already have a namespace for identities, it's standardised and documented on the wiki. They came in and defined their own namespace for no good reason.
Yeah, people say the same thing about C++. It's great when you have your own carefully curated subset of the language.... and then you have to deal with other programmers & libraries
There is a rest API, https://keybase.io/__/api-docs/1.0

Additionally, I have used GPG and their website with javascript based crypto in some cases without using their NPM app. I believe their goal is to get other client implementations out there on the public api.
Yeah I had a fairly good sense of what you meant by promise-the-moon technologies, and I believe many of those you mentioned to be exactly the sort of hard-won incremental improvements that I was talking about. Good ideas trickling down is also the exact sort of hard-won incremental improvement I'm talking about.

I suppose my general point is that things aren't stagnant, they are merely at a point where real progress tends to be hard-won and incremental. This may be frustrating to visionaries, but it seems both inevitable and perfectly fine to me.

Doesn't the tank give off more IR than the surroundings? To decrease the light emitted, you have to decrease the black-body radiation in that spectrum below ambient temperature. That means actively cooling the surface, or (directly or indirectly) fluorescing the blackbody radiation into a different part of the spectrum.
> ... [if] the bystander is interfering so egregiously with the EMTs that the extra second poses a plausible risk to the patient

Dude, you need to take a CPR class or something. Emergency response is HARD. If you're the EMT, you don't know if the patient has a ruptured soft organ, low blood pressure, or clotting problems, ICP, arrhythmia, etc etc etc. In five seconds they can go from lucid to passed out and then what seemed like a routine stop gets deadly serious and you're in trouble.

You need to work fast but you need to work ultra smart. One missed sign or wrong move could ruin a patient's life.

The whole time you're working you're trying to keep tons small bits of information in your head (ask about allergies, ask about illness, ask about prescriptions, ask about family history, any Battle's sign, how was cap reflow? Any heart problems? is the patient losing orientation? more neck soreness, did I miss a C-spine hairline? I need to move her shoulders but it might cripple her. if I could just get some friggin ROOM here. Can I ignore the bruise on the thigh? Did I hear wheezing? ... etc ).

Now do this when you have drunk people milling about, talking back to the police right over you.

My point, because you don't seem to get it: every accident scene is an urgent situation until the patient has been transported. Every interference is egregious. Every. last. one.

You seem to think that cops and EMTs have superhuman abilities to diagnose patients, psychoanalyze bystanders, and predict the future, all while while chatting amiably and stroking egos. It's bizarre.

(I did ski patrol for a few years so I got a taste of what EMTs do every day. I am in awe.)
That doesn't really seem to be the way they are spread out. There's some in major cities like Seattle and Portland. Then there's some at recognizable landmarks. Tokyo Tower, CERN, Area 51, Roswell etc.

Isn't your company's business to discover the security flaws? I believe the fact that you don't know the details means that there isn't much interest, at least in your part of the world, to fund such a research. There are no incentives for academia to make it too. All that doesn't mean the list doesn't exist, only that there is no economic reason to publish it.
By the way, you couldn't instantiate a Grog as it's a namespace. I think you meant new Baz(). Still a neat and instructive example.
No, it isn't. The article was about abstract ideas in general and in this current thread, you were the first one to mention the constitution and it was to you and your point that I was replying.
Rifkin has been pushing these ideas (basically advancing technology will require his preferred political positions) for 20+ years (see "End of Work" (1995)). He just updates the buzzwords and publishes it as a new book (see "The Age of Access" (2000) and "The Zero Marginal Cost Society" (2014)). As usual there are a few grains of truth (jobs replaced by technology, drastically lower costs for some products) but it is mostly just well known falsehoods (lump of labor fallacy). In the end you will know less after listening to Rifkin's arguments.
