Human specialists and locals usually either had a monopoly on their product or were buddies with everyone in the pit so of course they would collude. Even on the NASDAQ screen they would collude and intimidate anyone showing tighter prices for showing "Chinese quotes": http://www.acsu.buffalo.edu/~keechung/TEM/Journal%20Articles...

Anonymous limit order books are far better. Nobody's price is better than anyone else's and machines have no problem competing spreads down to near-zero.

The launch trajectories they follow when launching from Cape Canaveral don't allow them to buy land for the First Stage further down from the launch site. Many launches occur at Cape Canaveral because they allow for a safe trajectory over open water, where people are less likely to be hurt in case of unexpected performance.

Haven't we already had a great national discussion about the silliness of using "rockstar," "ninja," "guru," etc. when describing someone^? They're so vague...

From the changelog

|Memory usage building Firefox with debug enabled was reduced from 15GB to 3.5GB; link time from 1700 seconds to 350 seconds.

That's pretty impressive.
But the objection is still the same.

Here's the thing. I have been advertising the impact of this decision by Chrome on our SaaS business. It just isn't acceptable that cert revocation means one thing if you are Yahoo but another if you are a startup SaaS business.

As I have said repeatedly, this is a way to ensure that things are comfortable enough for the people at the top that everyone else is sacrificed in the name of it being too much trouble, working for free, etc. But as long as the big sites are protected by Google, nothing will get fixed and us smaller competitors will be screwed.

I am sorry, but that's just morally wrong. And it is the major reason I now recommend Firefox over Chrome.
On a side note, I asked a fairly successful tech professional->CTO->CEO what it took be a great programmer/engineer. Ironically the answer I got was not even related remotely to software in any way.

The thing he told me was that in all his experience, working with awesome people he found that "working things on paper", gave massive clarity in most projects. Human minds are not great at visualizing large stacks, diagrams and lists. Hence writing down things, simplifies things. In fact when you write things down. Draw that diagram, talk to yourself and refine your ideas on paper in a couple of iterations. You largely solve that problem of reuse, variable naming, problem identification. Agreed that some things demand you play with code a little to proceed further. Yet, planning on paper solves most problems which programmers face today.

Agile fashion unfortunately glorified many bad practices.

The more I pondered over that though the more I realized, how many bad practices came into software development with this quick development-deployment methodology. In the days of the past while you worked out some documentation before you started a project, you often probed, visualized and solved problems on paper. These days a lot of software is developed by the time you realize its actually bad. By then going back is not an option and you have live with it.
I still look good in tight jeans thanks to running and swimming.

Ask my wife ;o)
Why on earth is an article on creating great software, written by a CTO, completely unreadable on a tablet (nexus 7)?

I'm tempted to turn this observation into broader philosophical diatribe, but I'll refrain until I at least read the post somehow.
Whatever action you take will generally come back down the multicast feeds back to your own systems to process.
Harsh: agreed; the way I worded that reflected my frustration and was unnecessarily harsh. That said, I am frustrated that what-seems-like-a-great-technology is being used so ineffectively. Lytro was chatting with a car company about using the sensors on their cars and, long time constants aside, that appears to have been for naught.

Photography: the camera on my phone has been good-enough for me for years, so I'm a poor judge of camera needs. But I just haven't heard any photo-nerd complain about the problems with focus on a camera, so I am not sure there is an actual problem here that Lytro is solving.
This is interesting, but I already have a rather complex app deployed at a fairly large scale and complexity.

I would like too be able to have a tool that will diagram out my infra from access to my AWS console though, that would be interesting. [[EDIT: It looks like it does this.. Ill check out that function just to see what it produces]]

I think this wil work for smaller, less complex implementations/apps, though.

WRT to @roeme's comment >skeptic as to how well DevOps lends itself to be visualized, though; have you seen StackDriver.com?

I swear by it - its farking fantastic for getting visibility into the performance of our cloud.
> Google, Facebook

Why you list some of the reasons against using those businesses, it's important to remember that some of don't have accounts with those businesses. Never have, and never will. So requiring FB or G accounts to participate ends up being is a rather offensive "we don't serve your kind here" door-slam.

You can offer them as an alternative, but requiring a troublesome 3rd-party like that is only going cause problems.

> do you place greater trust in AirBnB (or random websites X, Y and Z) to keep your credentials safe than you do in Google?

YES. By a wide margin. Some random website I can give a unique email and password, so if they do bad things, the damage is limited. I wildcard all the smail at my domain to the same place, so if I see spam addressed to e.g. "airbnb.domain@mydomain.net' I know who sold the address to spammers and have an easy regex to filter on, if necessary.

With google/etc, I wouldn't have that kind of granularity. Of course, there are all the usual reasons like not wanting google to know every login I make, but that topic is already covered.

> checking against a public key

That would be outstanding. Yes, we have not solved the key-management problem yet, but that's no reason not to try. With a problem this complex, it is going to take a number of attempts anyway before we get it right. Waiting for a "perfect" solution, on the other hand (i.e. "Web-of-Trust is too complicated!") will just leave us with the current mess.
This blog entry is not very generalizable. It implies a certain kind of programming for a certain kind of business.
Question, since I can't find an answer on Lytro's site: is it possible to use this tech to export 3D models rather than images?
The 2013 budget had a deficit of 3.3%, which it used capital from the oil fund to fill. The biggest deficit that they are allowed to have - and to cover with that kind of money - is 4.0%.

I don't think you know what you're talking about.
The design is baffling. I couldn't figure out how to navigate the page by scrolling, until I gave up and started clicking the links on the right side. I still have no idea what that diagonal line is for.
For quite many companies there are people who are passionate about that company and their goals even if they don't [yet] work there. E.g., some high-profile programmer posts about Oculus Rift impled that, and there are many niche-cases for specific business areas.

If you don't understand what the company is and what they're doing, then it's reasonable that you'll be at a disadvantage compared to people who did understand all that before applying for the job and likely applied because of that.
The people in the middle are still poorer in your example. The article doesn't suggest the richest Americans are poorer than the richest people in other countries.
"Rockstar" along with "Ninja" and the like feel like they spring from a deep seated insecurity about what the organisation and the people there do and it's value and appeal.

Rather than hire someone who felt that a job role needed to be sexed up for it to be interesting, I'd far rather employ someone who was comfortable in their own skin with who they were and how they earned their living and didn't feel the need to either big it up or have their ego massaged by someone else describing them in that way.

Nitty gritty of building a great Customer Acquisition Funnel
Exporting the details likely seems to be required for many users as customers/clients might want to see the details.

With regards to data storage: the idea is to connect a remote data store like tent.io oder remotestorage.io
I'm not making the assumption that it's benign. It's based on my own experience - I've quote stuffed hundreds of times in simulation, and I'm sure it happened in production as well. It's a hard bug to completely avoid.

Interesting - the DOS attack is on the exchange rather than other market participants. But could you be more specific on how this helps you make money?
There are many launches from Vandenberg AFB, but most of these launches will travel south over the Pacific. It is generally used for placing payloads in Polar orbits. They never launch over land for fear or casualties if something goes wrong.

Actually, there are substantial secondary benefits to going legal. Giving back to the creator, guaranteed quality, avoiding legal entanglements, cheaper traffic, higher speeds, etc. All things that aren't typically offered by pirated content providers.

The problem is that legal sources have issues around trying to controlling when/where/how the content is viewed, which might be the majority of the value in the media (over and above the content itself).

Where did you get this information? As far as I can tell, the next launch is is for Orbcomm and should be to LEO.

The last two GTO launches did not have reusability test burns because SpaceX was contractually obliged to use all of their delta-v getting the satellites into a highly elliptical orbit (which would allow the satellites to use less of their fuel for the inclination change, thus extending their lifespan). As far as I know, SpaceX only agreed to these sort of terms for those two GTO launches and future GTO launches will still include reusability burn tests.

Visual storytelling using WebGL
Love the idea, but they're a tad expensive. I would think a fair price would be a strip of several images for 8€, not just one. Also, even if I accepted the single sticker price, do I only get exactly one sticker? If I mess up the application, well that's a pretty expensive mess up.

I'll leave the economics up to you, but I would think about making 'sets' of say 4 images (video games, lifestyle, err... animals, planets, etc.), Sell them for the 8€ each and make it clear there's a backup copy of each in the package.

Yes, that is literally is 8 times as many stickers for the same price, but I can't imagine the marginal cost is that much greater for you, and I think you'd get a lot more sales to make up for it.

Here's my real world thought process which may be helpful or atypical: I was torn between a couple images, so I added both to my cart, then thought about a backup in case I messed up and when I was done, the price was 32€ before I knew it. For a couple of stickers, I thought?? (I got literal 'sticker shock'! Get it? Hahaha hehehehe snort, ahem. Sorry.) So I decided I didn't want them that much and closed the window. This is the sort of thing you should try to prevent.

Good luck!
God damn, I love companies that make a physical hardware product that is such a gamble like this one.

I will be pre-ordering, if only to encourage startups to think bigger than software.

Stunning!

dpreview has an interview with the Lytro CEO:

http://www.dpreview.com/news/2014/04/22/q-a-with-lytro-s-ceo...

It also has an article, which manages to contain the fact they have been skirting around. It says it produces 5MP images.

Most exchanges are structured something like:

a.) Each trader has one or more gateway processes that do the order checking/rejecting.

b.) Each gateway maintains a queue of messages for the matching engine.

c.) The matching engine/order book for a product pulls one message at a time from each gateway that has a message waiting on its queue and processes it before spinning back to the first gateway again.

So a trader blasting the exchange with orders isn't going to impact other traders who also place orders around the same time. She'll only be slowing herself down.

>If I shake a dried gourd over a cold sufferer and he gets better, I can claim to have been the cause of the recovery. And guess what? No one can prove that claim false.

Umm, sure they can? They repeat the experiment (or perform a better one) and don't get the same results. Lack of controls makes for weaker evidence, but it doesn't magically make things unfalsifiable.

And so I ask you again: What makes you say these studies are unfalsifiable?
>Doesn't mean there aren't effectively rules.

But that doesn't mean that the rules for English orthography aren't insane. There are very few English sentences that can be read by sounding out letter after letter individually (no matter what sound you choose as the basis for each letter.)

http://zompist.com/spell.html

The first step in trying to pronounce an English word is to subconsciously guess its language of origin.
I agree. The middle class of other parts of the world catching up to rising US[] is a good thing from any perspective except for the most cynical realpolitik subscribers. Even from a pure US centric point of view, it provides a larger market for US goods.

However, the poor doing worse than 30 is really bad. Even if you believe that a high gini coefficient is needed to encourage upward mobility, a falling living standard for the poor indicate that it is not working.

[] I'd really like to see the comparison in income after tax+education+health care. Health care and education is more or less mandatory for the middle class, and the details of how it is financed (tax, savings, insurance) shouldn't affect the comparison of living standard.

Wow, yeah that's a good find for juxtaposition. 2003: "How 4 Wheel Drive Works"...2014: "World's Most Beautiful Skylines"
I'm probably misunderstanding you, but your example seems like the whole reason Rockstar programmers can be harmful to a team. I agree completely about laziness and looking to the future, however.

* It sounds like the upfront cost is higher than the simple solution.

* I don't think changing the CRM is going to be a common occurrence, so don't optimize for it. YAGNI

* I doubt you'll get it right up front. The new CRM is going to require a couple tweaks to the code in addition to a config line change

* Maintainer needs to learn the custom layer you've built on top, whose documentation, googleability, and stack overflow support will be much less than the standard libraries.

To me, that's what I took away from the article's work horses. They focus their efforts on moving the product forward and maintaining clean code. Sometimes, that means forgoing the fancy engineering challenges.

I like this xkcd for trying to keep myself honest: http://xkcd.com/1205/
The research you're looking for is probably from Daniel Pink. He found that for creative tasks, higher financial incentives led to lower quality output. For routine, standardized tasks, financial incentives work well.
GitLab: git hosting with unlimited private repositories
Yearh, I started using GitLab for personal projects and after a bit more than a yearh we migrated the company projects to GitLab as well.
The problem I would have with a camera like this is it breaks my workflow, built around Lightroom, Photoshop, etc. that is probably even more true of real pro photographers.

The camera itself is beautiful! It looks like a blackmagic design cinema grown up.

I think they would probably do better as a "designed for rental" vs purchased camera, though. It is enough of a novelty that I'd see people using it for a few shoots, but like a tilt shift lens, it is only going to be daily useful to a limited number of people. Especially with limited production, rental would rock --- either direct, or throug something like borrowlenses or lumoid.
I don't shut down any possible additions to the concept of consciousness, I just require that any additions be motivated by need. At this point in our understanding there simply is no need to presume some sort of metaphysical happenings. The brain being the sole generator of consciousness currently appears to be powerful enough to explain everything we know about consciousness. Add on to that all the evidence brain activity correlating with conscious experience, exciting the brain in specific locations generating conscious experience, and brain damage in various locations having clear and permanent affects on consciousness, and we have strong evidence that the brain is in fact all there is. We may not be able to "observe consciousness directly", but we have constrained its possible whereabouts to "within the brain". Sure, more work needs to be done, but we are far from completely ignorant here.

Right. What I meant was that when the Lytro's image is 'focused' on a subject, the background actually is out of focus instead of just having a fancy blur algorithm run on it to simulate being out of focus.

Well I guess if the range is large enough it might not be feasible. But the hypothetical system is not rate-limiting (if it were, doing the KDF server-side wouldn't be a big deal), and it is not storing an individual salt, so time is the only thing standing in the way of this attack.

Webhook, a static site generator with a CMS
Hey all. I'm just finishing my static site generator that comes with a built-in, drag and droppable CMS. I asked for some feedback a couple weeks ago in the "Help Me Out" posts and ended up making a proper intro video for it as well as releasing our documentation.

I'm taking the product to Kickstarter to drum up my first month of sales and keep the project completely bootstrapped. It's going pretty well after one day and figured the HN crowd might be interested. I think we've come up with a pretty novel way to bridge the gap between a full CMS and the ease of use of static site generators. Really impressed with firebase as a realtime data store.

I'm also happy to answer any questions about launching something like this on Kickstarter if anyone has any questions for their own projects. Outside of the funding, we mainly did it to have a rough idea of how much infrastructure to build for our first few months.

As to the domain, which I'm sure people will have questions about... we originally had some ideas for incorporating a bunch of webhooks into the CMS that would generate auto-deploys based upon actions from other services. It didn't make it into our v1, but the plans are still there.

It's a fully hosted solution at the moment, but we're going to try to open up the production server for self-hosters later in the year.
I was able to figure it out, but it was still annoying. Equally annoying was that it JS-hotlinked each section of the website requiring me to press the back button a million times to get back to the last actual webpage.

Hot-linking is cool, but storing it in the browsing history is not.

You are off base here. I'm not aware of any SCOTUS definition of freedom.

The phrase you quote is most associated with Louis Brandeis' conception of a right to privacy (it was his in-a-nutshell definition).

Privacy and freedom are not the same, obviously. And, there is nothing explicitly in the Constitution (or the Amendments) about privacy per se, which is why Brandeis had to write the article grappling with the issue.
The idea is that the booster will land at its launch site and I think that they would prefer any potential aborts to be over the water.

An empty booster may have a good enough drag/lift ratio and altitude to get much of the way back by doing a slight turn and 'gliding' with a little help from the engines.
Visual versus Text are just means to an end. What matters is how you apply the given form within a method or process.

A nice example of where hand code struggled and a visual language within the constructs of a formal method succeeded is the V22 Osprey compared to the BA609 Tiltrotor.

The Navy struggles to maintain the V22 and the vehicle has a total of around 40 deaths attributed to it. While the BA609 has far fewer operational hours, it also is more rigorously tested.
