I think the single page app trend is coinciding with the growth of javascript, HTML5. It shows that the websites of the future will be more and more like web applications, and they need dynamic UI. The thing that's stopping us the SEO problem, which I hope is no longer problem anymore with snapsearch.

There must be some long term solution that exists already.

Think about people in comas, people who have parts of their jaw removed due to various oral and throat cancers.

If they can get the price down I'd probably try it too. Can't be worse than a protein shake as a post-workout supplement.
The major objections are to the inherent complexity of Zerocoin (it uses actual bleeding edge crypto); the performance/size issues (it used to be hours per transaction, I think it's down to minutes now); and the potential for regulatory backlash at a time where Bitcoin people were in appeasement mode, to some extent.
Phone systems really do seem needlessly outdated, they're the paid service with the crappiest user experience today.

Why is it possible for some creep to call me from ostentatiously fake numbers like "1111111111" or "111 222 333" at 3am only to spout gibberish, try to scam me, or just stay silent on the other end?
Are you not able to simply ignore bad links because when you did that years ago, people would just pump and dump thousands of links to see what stuck?
Cool! I wrote a similar extension for Chrome that simply enforces a user-adjustable maximum cookie lifetime (e.g. 21 days instead of 10+ years...). This seems to provide a good balance for login cookies that you don't necessarily want removed every session.

Because I would like to live in a functional society. Because "my right to a third yacht trumps your right to feed your children and get treatment for preventable illnesses" is a shitty thing to believe. Because I think the members of a society have a positive responsibility to each other and to the society. Because, basically, I don't like selfish assholes, not matter how much they try to convince me that selfishness is a virtue.

It's not a popular opinion, I realize.

And before you start talking about "other people's money," I'm comfortably middle-class, and I would be delighted to pay an extra, say, 20% of my income in taxes if it meant that the sick or homeless or mentally ill people I see every day could get the care that they need.
Zerocash != Zerocoin

(What you describe is Zerocoin, the OP is about Zerocash)
For years ive been browsing with clear cookies after each session. What you describe with first visit notification is not common at all. And when sites actually do it, its usually very subtle and can be ignored like the notification bar on the top of stackoverflow. I can only name one website where I am annoyed by the lack of cookies and that is when youtube doesn't remember my preferred video resolution. Otherwise browsing with fresh ones has no degraded user experience for me.

Actually this is starting to become worse though after EU introduced the must notify about cookies law last year. The ones who do clear their cookies once in a while are punished by being notified about them time after time while the others will blindly click OK and never see the message again.

False: perhaps they had no accredited nutritionists. The founder has claimed to have read several texts.
well. implementing these feature testing scripts is kinda waste of time. so I rather to pick up autotools, which provides a integrated features.

to use it for a static embedded use case, you may write your own build script to compile the library (it's not hard to write one). the cflags are describe in src/Makefile.am

and you can use pkg-config to list the flags you need.
I'm glad it wraps around the front of the head. It's an amazing visual clue to everyone else that this is the type of person you want to avoid a conversation with.
It's a little disappointing to see how much ZeroCash is hyped compared to Bytecoin (https://bytecoin.org/), since the former is still vaporware while the latter is something real that you can go use right now.

While the CRS ZK-SNARK stuff used for ZeroCash is very exciting technology, the cryptographic assumptions are very new and kinda sketchy. The fact that there is a trusted initialization is unfortunate, especially since compromise of the initialization results in unbounded and undetectable inflation (well I suppose you can detect it once a single altruist ends up with more coins than ought to exist!). ... though it has implications which go far beyond transaction anonymity.

The Bytecoin approach is based on much simpler cryptography— a schnorr ring signature in the curve25519 group. The anonymity it provides is theoretically more limited— sort of like a CoinJoin where even ofline people or even already spent coins can be joined with you—, but because it doesn't required gigabytes of signing keys or tens of seconds of computation to sign it might be more anonymous in practice just due to being easier to use. (Oh yea, and did I mention, it's already in use so at the moment it's infinitely more private! :) )

So far all of these anonymous systems have a number of interesting limitations in common. For example, none of them support any kind of pruning so a verifying node has state that grows forever— as compared to Bitcoin where if you're just verifying new blocks (as opposed to helping initialize new peers) you can forget the old state... e.g. right now a Bitcoin full verifier technically only needs about 300MBytes of storage. So this privacy stuff comes at a rather extreme cost. I've suggested some ways to improve this (basically expiring old coins), but they reduce the anonymity set and have some usability tradeoffs.

In any case, it's certantly better to see things like ZeroCash and Bytecoin being worked on... I'm really skeptical about the wisdom of splitting up the crypto-currency adoption network effect just to introduce some new transaction features. But certantly doing it with substantive new features is way better than just-another-worthless-clone. ... especially when there is running code and not merely a whitepaper. :)

I've been waiting for a basic device that just tells me roughly what brain state I'm in (alpha/beta/delta/theta/gamma dominant) with bonus points if it has a feedback mechanism to make it easier to train one self into a certain state.

I don't think they got the pricing right. There are already quite a lot of consumer EEG devices on the market that either do more and/or are cheaper. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_consumer_brain%E2...
This is not correct, they have been working with them for a while now:

Probably, that's the first result I got when googling "crystallographic primitive", my comment problem makes more sense reading it as "cryptographic primitive" :).

Unfortunately, primitive cells seem mathy enough to be plausibly to cryptography for that to be a confusing mistake (especially given the existence of lattice based cryptography).

Technically it's only tilted by 22.5 degrees. But the story is interesting :)
That's the point. One has to be blind to reality to have such "idealism". They should know better.

Interesting comment. I like the idea of Soylent but would never use it because of the malodextrin and sucralose. If it had some other (better) complex carbohydrate and stevia, then I might consider it.
personally i believe it looks surprisingly low-key
I think this should be more a problem for google than for web developer. web developer have the right to choose new technique they like, it's google's responsibility to scratch your content well.

But now things are reversed, It's kind of monopoly, isn't it?
Darkcoin is a Bitcoin clone which was released with basically no changes at all to the system, but with CoinJoin (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=279249.0) privacy as a sales pitch.

It's certantly not the first time that I've posted about something technical where some altcoin then popped up with it as a sales feature on its whitepaper without even bothering to implement it. :-/

The funny thing is that CoinJoin's primary advantage is the network support for it is already part of Bitcoin since day one. Maybe it's not /completely/ pointless to launch a new cryptocurrency around CoinJoin simply because a commitment from a lot of users to use it might increase the anonymity set... but as far as I can it's nearly completely pointless (esp since in Bitcoin some ordinary transactions look like CJs).

If you're going to do something incompatible at the protocol much better can be done— as shown in practice by Bytecoin, or in theory in ZeroCash and ZeroCoin. ... even there isn't not a requirement to start up a whole new currency for it, but at least not pointless. CoinJoin isn't the be all end all of transaction privacy, but at least you don't have to switch currencies or convince people to deploy improvements to Bitcoin in order to make use of it. :)

A $25 dollar smartphone with FirefoxOS is going to be pretty fantastic. I have it running on an spare Nexus 4 and its lovely, I am fast considering using FFOS as my daily phone.
Reading several texts makes one a nutritionist?
Right, I guess my question is more how do you keep opportunities open without investing time in either interviewing or interfacing with recruiters.

I've also updated my bio with a email address per your other comment.
Until java 7 you had to write:

List<String> list = new ArrayList<String>();

It feels silly to have to write the type parameter twice. But now you can say:

List<String> list = new ArrayList<>();

It's usually not a huge deal, but occasionally the stutter can be more pronounced:

Map<String, List<Map<Integer, Set<Float>>>> map = ...
Affiliate marketer & spammer are not natural synonyms.

Some entities might try to say it is six of one & a half dozen of the other,
http://www.seobook.com/brand-vs-affiliate-vs-spam
but those same entities do not view their own affiliate marketing efforts as spam, even when they are pure spam
http://www.seobook.com/google-lends-a-helping-hand

Look at the cloaked affiliate YouTube links to iTunes on music videos. And Google has invested in Viglink, RetailMeNot, etc.

In addition to those types of investments, it was Google's ad programs which funded entities like Mahalo & eHow.

There are zero affiliates which have made as much off affiliate marketing as Google has.
had to laugh at this comment.

is the plan that people wear this around day to day??
I was just reading through the righteous rants at http://pccare247ripoffcomplaintsreviewscams.wordpress.com.

What is his angle here ?

Was it some bad manager who asked his team at PCCare247 to get more clients by any means necessary while keeping their activities hidden from upper management ?

What else could have happened ?

The FTC recorded that the company

1. Told their clients they had viruses when they did not

2. Profited from this lie.

This is the central issue here.

Oh and by the way, 'we are going to adhere to the golden adage of Silence Is Golden while simultaneously blogging that resolutions were made ( without providing any evidence ) and extolling the possibly non-existing company virtues'.
In that case a possible solution would be several drops of beano per can.
Sorry but non-accredited nutritionists don't count as nutritionists.
Good catch. I haven't thoroughly read the OP, but from the little bit I have read, it looks like they refer to the currency of Zerocash as zerocoins (the uppercase on Zerocash and lowercase on Zerocoin come from the paper), and the OP seems to be by the same authors.

Can anyone comment on how simmilar/different Zerocash is from the original Zerocoin? Did they just improve the underlying crypto, or is there a more high level change involved?

But it's not just google now. It's anybody who does any kind of crawling on the web, which includes social media robots (that acquire images from the link), personal web crawlers, private internal search engine, data mining, even advertisement bots that check content. Would they all have to embed and maintain/update a JS VM?
The math and crypto are fairly straight-forward, dunno why you're telling people they can't understand it.

I'm curious about implementation, though. Most derivatives have a cost of carry built-in and this doesn't. It also doesn't work unless you convert your bitcoin immediately; the blockchain doesn't forget.
i say this because most the people i know that are doing graduate studies focused on general relativity are in theoretical physics. we're not at the point, technologically, where experimental physics can cover the full range of what general relativity describes. it would be nice to have a black hole in a lab that is not an analogue, though. and one day, we probably will. so, i agree that eventually it will be on par with electromagnetism, but for now it describes a lot that is still very theoretical.

The ZeroCoin stuff was just not really technically viable as it was. Also as evidence by the fact that no altcoins have picked it up. The trusted initialization requirement was also kinda lame.

ZeroCash improves the performance from the network's perspective greatly (at the expense of client performance), so it might be easier to make work. It also greatly improves the anonymity by hiding the values, at the same time it makes the trusted initialization worse. Mixed bag.

That said— I don't know about 'contempt', here was my response: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=175156.msg1826596#ms... and I don't recall anyone else with pull in these things being more negative than I was.

("My initial read of their paper was interesting, but it was two to three orders of magnitude more resource intensive than would be required to make it actually viable ... On the plus side— approaches can only get better")

I do hope that cryptographic privacy improvements are themselves not too controversial to deploy. Bitcoin as it is, is basically a privacy disaster which is only mitigated by the fact that Bitcoin is a niche thing that no one is forced to use. If you felt compelled to use Bitcoin in your daily personal and business life the current state of privacy there would cause a lot of harm. I cringe a bit at people trying to promote Bitcoin to 'authorities' with the "it's not private" argument, I think that stems from a misunderstanding of what authorities should want (e.g. they shouldn't want people to be made vulnerable through a loss of privacy), and a lack of knoweldge into how to discuss that privacy isn't incompatible with the public interest (quite the opposite), and that trying to deny privacy seldom reduces privacy for criminals (since they can buy their way to privacy) but mostly for innocent individuals... but I guess we'll see how things pan out.

Right now the proposed privacy technology has to little maturity and too many tradeoffs to consider it in Bitcoin, but when that isn't the case I hope we can adopt them, but even without doing so the privacy techniques that can already be used in Bitcoin and cannot be stopped (like CoinJoins and CoinSwaps) can help a lot if they become more widely used.

>P.Eng. yes - but a BSE? Should the full force of law really be brought to bear on someone who might be confused with having earned a BSE by calling themselves an engineer? Who does this protect?

I think it's pretty obvious that I meant P.Eng but didn't want to get into it for brevity. Not everyone knows the difference.

Sorry you're butthurt.
It's really fast, has minimal boiler plate and supports functional programming without any of the "orthodoxy" of Haskell. That is, you can write a recursive function but also write a for loop.

Imagine something that can compete with C and C++, but doesn't require all of the low-level reinvention and memory management. It's like a high-level language for smart people that doesn't feel entirely impractical. It has some things that people bitch about (like having to use +. to add two floats and + to add two ints), which don't really bother me that much.

If it were more popular and had better libraries/platform support (unless that's changed drastically in the past year or so), it would be a serious contender for general development. Being completely honest, I think Jane Street is probably the biggest organization pulling OCaml, and from a navel-gazing standpoint you can either view that as good or bad.

Use it because you learned it and thought it didn't suck, I guess?

No default binding for vi mode apparently.

I think many of these claims as "MIT's contribution to transform Computer Science" is unjustified. Particularly, wasn't Bob Kahn already out of MIT when Vint Cerf and him created TCP/IP? What was MIT's role here? Just that they paid salary to Bob Kahn in the distant past?

On the other hand, when I think of MIT, the most important contribution to Computer Science that comes to my mind is Seth Gilbert and Nancy Lynch's proof to Brewer's Conjecture, famously called CAP theorem. This proof is so profound, so important to Computer Science and the way we build large-scale computer systems today. And d'uh, it has been left out.

This looks like pure marketing to me. And in some sense misleading.

The United States is too big (in terms of population density) for a replacement solution to gain traction outside major metros without massive government subsidies.

A $300 consumer product that promises to help one be more "mindful" & "present" more "efficiently" than plain old meditation. What is sad is the irony in all of this. What's sadder is that I want to buy it...

Might be brilliant on their part. Corporate consultant gurus are making quite a nickel telling execs to be more "mindful" & "present". Might be an opportune time to break into the market and displace some spiritual advisors with a little technology too. Maybe Verison 2.0 will help you down the 8fold path faster and without years of meditation & conditioning.
That looks like a cover tactic. When users are curious about a company they often search company_name + " scam" or "complaint". Whoever set that site up wants to top those search results. Just look at how often they mention the company's name.

Granted such a blatant attempt is not going to fool Google, but it does show intention.

If I could guess whoever ran the scam tried yet another under-handed tactic to mislead victims.
Is there any plan to port this to Firefox? It'd be nice to see HTTPSB as an alternative to ABP there too.
