Access to the FTP servers are IP restricted and everything is encrypted in transit and at rest on the server via PGP. In my organization the transfers where via FTPS not SFTP, big distinction, the FTPS implementations can be not as secure by default as SFTP.
But yes, once it's on the ACH processors servers it's their responsibility and not your compliance issue. They will pass an audit, but from a security point of view, they could do it better in a few areas.
You know what really scares me about this? I think a lot of Americans would be fine with this kind of internet. Why should their Facebook and Yahoo! news be slower just because transfire and kevando want access to every single possible thing on the internet?

ARM CPU/SOC shipped in billions of units.

Latest production ARM in Nexus 5, 7 has 4 cores, integrate GPU, VPU (video processing unit.) Run from battery power. IMO, Intel is losing CPU war to ARM.

We are also seeing Qualcomm's 64 bits 8 cores going into the next gen phone soon.
Two years ago I was working at a bigco that used Lotus Notes still. It was the cause of quite possibly the most confrontational experiences I have had with an inanimate object.

They also had all this shit custom software that made lotus seem alright.

Ironically the single best piece of software they had was a relic of an intranet site from what must have been the late 90s. It looked like shit, had about 2 lines of Javascript, every click was a page refresh, but it did exactly what it said it would do, what I expected it to do, and it did it without getting in my way in a reasonable amount of time. Bad software apparently makes us remember what is actually good about good software.

It is not one thing in particular. It is just that there are so many things.
I'm anything but expert, but here's a set of thoughts:

Consider the opposite extreme, Berkshire-Hathaway, where the stock is deliberately not split in order to attract only those investors with, today, $191,000 to spend on a single share. The argument in favor of such a strategy is to attract only investors who are likely to take a long view of things. It may also discourage selling, as it can't be done piecemeal.

(Yes, Berkshire has a substantial number of Class B shares with diminished voting power that trade in the $100 range after splits, but the company was cajoled by circumstances into issuing them; people were beginning to develop Berkshire-tracking funds.)

If you want your company to be accessible to the little guy, and your company's doing well, you'll have to split sometime. Furthermore, if you're a shareholder and you're interested in shorter-term trading, you might cajole your company into splitting.
How to Have Productive Arguments
> no other developed nation tries to tax foreign profits already taxed once again at home

That statement is demonstrably false. I know for a fact that in Australia foreign income is taxed again. Credits are available for some or all of the tax paid in the foreign country depending on the existence and nature of bilateral tax treaties between the two nations. I believe similar schemes operate in most developed nations.

Also of note is that the company tax rate in Australia is 30% but with far fewer special credits and discounts so the effective rate is quite close to the nominal rate.
Society of the Query: Reflections on Web Search

This will be an extremely difficult thing to do with just computer vision alone. Small changes in food preparation and recipes that don't yield very visible differences in the final product can have huge impacts on nutrition.

For example, a slice of chocolate cake prepared with non-caloric sweetener will look much the same as a cake prepared with brown sugar, but it'll have significantly fewer calories. (It'll also taste gross.)
It's unclear. Diversity helps innovation, but it also adds complexity to everyone who builds on top of it. If there's room for significant innovation, it can be worth the complexity. But if there isn't, and there are many signs that there's not much left to do in the traditional general-purpose ISA space, then we're just living with a bunch of complexity for no benefit.
This is a short book I recommend to everyone. 70 pages, 1909 and it still feels futuristic. He predicts commercial flight, the internet (Spotify, Skype, podcasting). Remember that this is before the popularization of radio.

The beauty of his language is in the abstract representations of technology. This is what makes the ideas behind it continually relevant and futuristic to this day.

The most philosophically profound ideas in it presage Baudrillard's conception of hyperreality.
Why wouldn't you write a web server backend in Haskell? What is more adequate than Haskell for web server backends and why?

I purchased a Jawbone UP about 4 months ago specifically for the sleep tracking and smart alarms. I've never felt the need to use it as a fitness tracker because I'm naturally working out more and feeling healthier after consistently getting a good night's sleep.

I'm excited to see what Apple comes up with (though overall I'm not a fan) and I'm also looking forward to the Razer Nabu. I feel like the current offerings in the area are V0.* and they'll be the first 1.0s.

Misconceptions About Mitigating Heartbleed

Sounds very much like myself (except that I'm a freelancer, so can procrastinate much easier). I'm still trying to solve it, but I found that some things help:

1. A cardio workout. (Came highly recommended by a dear client of mine, and indeed significantly increases the amount of energy I feel during the day. Does not solve procrastination by itself, but helps with that sleepiness.)

2. Pair programming. (This is a true deal breaker. Maybe we're just not created for solo work, and that's it?)

3. Eating less, and less carbs in particular. (I've been diagnosed with insulin insensibility, and it really shows; I usually get very sleepy after eating.)

4. Doing work you can be proud of, way before the deadline. Not always possible, but when it is, it can keep me going for a bit. Relax, take those extra few hours to make the code clean, polished and well-documented.

In my case (and perhaps in yours as well), it's not really about work being boring or not. I had a very exciting side-project of mine, which is now selling on the Mac App Store for great profit, but I started to procrastinate on it after a few months as well.

Feel free to email me to talk some more.
Well, the brightest has an asterisk where the asterisk corresponds to those who are orienting their lives towards service and the common good - those seeking solutions to our shared problems - rather than simply personal benefit.

If the goal of life is simply 'self-service' - making tons of money and living fat (ie. ‘he with the most toys wins’ mentality) - then cooperatives are not the path an individual will choose.

If the goal is to help others while working together with peers who share a common purpose, then a cooperative makes a lot of sense as a model.

In my case I realized that much of our society is oriented fundamentally towards greed with consumer capitalism actually manipulating us to be more greedy.

I was simply looking for a company structure that helped us to learn to be more generous through our work together. While I can’t say honestly that our work is yet shaking the foundations of capitalism, I can say that we are learning to be more selfless, more generous, by working within a cooperative structure that encourages us to help meet each others’ needs along with those of the clients we serve.
I'm surprised by this statement as well, considering the rather remarkable performance that Warp server[1] has been able to achieve. Writing highly concurrent servers is arguably one of Haskell's biggest strength.

I had a pretty similar experience with the Nike FuelBand I bought. I haven't had any hardware problems, but I couldn't get over the feeling of having a hard plastic wristband on all the time. The value just wasn't there to offset that. Now it just sits on the charger on my desk, not doing much of anything. These days I mostly just use the Moves app on my phone which gives me the number of steps I walked and total distance, which is all I really care about anyway. It'll take a really integrated/seamless experience to get me to try another band.
How to Optimize Your Contact Page for More Conversions
Alpha and sparc both had moderately affordable hardware (atx boards and such). Outside the geeks, what's the compelling story? I owned a couple of those devices, fact of the matter was you paid more to be on an isolated moderately performing island. To be interesting, you need an Atx board or something with a better chip at the same price or the whole thing has to be cheaper. Basically, when cell came out they should have put ps3 spec workstations on the market for $300 or maybe even less. One thing arm really does right is low cost.
Sure. You should know what a for loop is and recognize it. LET X = X + 1 should immediately tell you how they assign values to variables. GOTO 01410 should be obvious that it's going to that line. Math and comparison operators are the same as most languages. 00001 REM (C) 1977-2014 RICHARD GARRIOTT should immediately show that REM is some kind of code comment unless you're insane enough to think the language is going to execute a copyright statement that's preceded by a mysterious 'REM'. READ in a 1 to 7 loop seems to correspond to the dnd stat attributes in the DATA statement above it. Then there's another READ, with 2 variables, in a loop from 1 to 15, which seems to correspond to the 30 other variables in the previous data statement. etc. I have seen BASIC before, though.
Hmm, that computer should be powerful enough.

That is not a flip side, it's a false dichotomy, because there is an enormous middle ground there.
Which is why I'm confused why you guys are advocating this form of consumption over streaming? Assuming most people watch a piece of content once wouldn't it be more bandwidth efficient to transfer them the data on demand when you know they're going to watch it instead of them speculatively guessing what they want to watch and maybe not watching it?
We're already seeing that effect in chips, somewhat. The market has gotten to the point where relatively cheap chips are good enough for most people's purposes -- looking at webpages and viewing streaming video on a mobile device. You don't need a top of the line Intel chip to do that; a cheap ARM clone is fine.

There is still a higher end driver in the server space, though, as virtualization progresses... How many virtual machines can you fit into one box?
Seems like riders would become a huge problem under that system. I guess you could try to make them unconstitutional, but a rider is hard to define; it seems like you would always be able to sneak unpleasant but tangentially-related things in.

Basically, the tests were supposed to provide an objective means to predict student outcomes. But they are no better predictors than high school grades alone. And the scoring shows significant correlations with factors like gender, race, language, family income, etc.--so they're not objective.

From this article:

> The University of California, Berkeley1 economist Jesse M. Rothstein has found that the combination of a student’s high school grades and demographic information predicted first-year grades in college about as well as her high school grades and SAT scores do.

> DePaul is implementing their own tests for non-cognitive skills, with a series of essay questions. For the entering class of 2012, about 10 percent of applicants (or about 5 percent of the freshman class) chose not to send ACT or SAT scores. Instead they completed four short-answer questions, designed to measure their leadership skills and their ability to meet long-term goals. Systematically scoring the responses to those questions, DePaul reported that the freshman-to-sophomore retention rate was almost identical for those who submitted standardized test scores (85 percent) and those who did not (84 percent).
Who says it costs $1B to run for President? Obama didn't exactly win the 2008 primary by being the rich establishment candidate. He wasn't personally wealthy. He did have a very internet savvy campaign staff, though...

Why don't you ask Linda McMahon how much it costs to buy a Senate seat? Not only did she spend tens of millions, she lost to a guy who is still paying back his student loans.

There's nothing stopping a candidate today from using the Net to spread their political message and, as odious as the alleged FCC changes are, they won't really change that.

Not to mention that a major skill in politics is to hide who pulls your strings. It is anti-democratic for Obama not to call this kind of thing out when it happens, to speak for the citizenry rather than the industrialists. If Obama was on the customer's side at all, he would be leaking information. "Sorry guys, but the way it actually works is..."

Advice for what to do
Basically the TLDR is I ran out of money and need to earn $5k USD to finish my degree. Been working on adding things to my github (http://github.com/weems) and website [ (http://weems.de).

Like so many others I am having trouble breaking into even the most entry level positions that require 2-5+ Years Experience at Minimum. Not a stupid sob story, I know I am not alone. Just trying to find the best way forward.
> Google is very aware that 100% of their userbase (and revenue) are one click away from using another search engine.

Actually, google outperforms all other search engines. It seems some people prefer duckduckgo (as search engine i mean, not just for the other features), but most i heard people couldn't get the same results (including myself).

Secondly, Google is much more than search nowadays. 100% of their income isn't gone just like that.

And they have the means to make a stance against paying extra by informing the public. Not to mention Google Fiber.

Why doesn't the section on double buffering mention triple buffering? Double buffering is useful but it has a very important limitation: if the consumer is slower than the producer then the producer can stall while the consumer is still working, and then the consumer gets stale data for its next iteration. The extra memory cost of triple buffering is always worth it for gaming, because none of the ephemeral state data is all that large, and latency matters.

Why would you care if your company was accessible to the little guy? Those stocks are sold - you never get more money from them unless you issue new stocks, no matter how they are traded in the future. (Stocks seem like a pretty bad deal for the company anyway: get funded via IPO, be forever beholden.)

In fact, they're a liability. So what benefit to a company from increasing the number of people you have to answer to?
