No, he said the open source components of Android were mediocre, uninteresting and selected over superior FOSS components. I listed a bunch of the open source components used by two companies who have no problems with using FOSS components, yet still chose to use the Android bits.

Of course they don't use the ActivityManager, the Activity lifecycle is really an Android-ism and doesn't fit Ubuntu Touch or the web. Of course they didn't use WindowManager when they both already have components to do that kind of thing. Of course they didn't use the high level framework APIs, they have their own API surface.

A usable, open Android does exist, but other companies are still going to explore different platform models. I think the fact that they use a number of pieces from Android pretty much wholesale is a huge point in favor of an open, usable Android.
The comparison with Go is really interesting because I don't think its http server does anything particularly fancy (like calling across FFI to non-Go code) and I don't see any obvious bottlenecks in rust-http that would cause an order of magnitude less throughput. Would be interesting to see some profiling.

I think you're painting everything black and white here. I'm Russian, I have no TV at home, I get all my news from reddit and twitter, and I still support Putin, though I don't like him a lot. You're right about mass media, but that doesn't mean you can't have sources of information you like. Russia is not North Korea.

Putin brought quality of life in Russia to a pretty nice level, and he keeps doing it, and a lot of people like that. And I see no point in becoming involved in protest movement and revolution rage. We all saw what happened to our neighbour, we need evolution, not revolution.

curious !! why did you decide to move to SF
Wow, looking at the order book of bitstamp [1] through the eyes of someone who lives in the world of market microstructure is eye opening:)

There are huge holes everywhere in the order book and the liquidity at each offering level seems to be completely without reason.

I just spent 20 minutes applying the sort of algorithms that'd we'd normally run on each stock to make markets in it and it can't detect any real patterns or justification for the bid/ask levels.

Is this just a case of everyone in the bitcoin market being "unsophisticated" in the quantitative sense? or is there some new form of market micro structure being created here?

Thoughts??

EDIT
For people asking about what you'd expect to see:

1) After the initial price level, you'd generally expect the next 10 or so price levels to be pretty tight. In the bitcoin case some of the spreads between price levels are larger than the bid/ask spread.

The price levels don't appear to have any logical basis behind why they are placed where they are.

2) volume at each price level. Similarly to above the volume at each price level doesn't appear to have any discernible pattern. Typically volumes would increase at each price level, up to a point, as more people join the market at each price level.

They don't break out a level 3 quote( order book by order, as opposed to price) so you can't really see how many orders are backing up each price level but given how small the volume of many of the price level are you can probably assume its only one person/order at most levels.

In some cases we mix up (slow) motorized transport and cycling. We only categorize walking, cycling, running, active (active at one location) and motorized transport, so any other moving activity might end up in one of those categories. For daily use our tracking is pretty accurate for most activity types and users can manually correct any mistakes.
Probably not as much as they'd like it to.

Brian Armstrong, CEO of Coinbase once said in an interview (http://techcrunch.com/video/coinbase-founder-brian-armstrong...) that they are dividing their bitcoins in hot and cold wallets.

A hot wallet only contains about 5% of the bitcoins the company has.
Meanwhile, the other 95% of bitcoins they're holding are stored savely in a key-split cold wallet.

Now, the problem is: if some user wants a large amount of his bitcoins out of coinbase, the guys owing their part of the split private key need to take action to transfer that amount of bitcoins from the cold to the hot wallet, assuming the amount is > 5%.

So what I think "Vault" does is give them a better architecture for planing and organizing their hotwallet-coldwallet-process.
Just to make it clear, I don't disagree with your first two paragraphs regarding nationalism and alcoholism, but your apologetic attitude for the US is somewhat worrying.

Except for Ukraine, which is a controversial subject, when was the last time Russia directly threatened a sovereign nation and overthrew their governments?

Now, how about the US in the last 14 years - Iraq, Afghanistan, Venezuela, Haiti, Gaza Strip, Somalia, Iran, Lybia and Syria. Does that not come off as "crazy" to you?

"If I remember correctly about 3 to 1,"

That seemed strange to me given multistage compressors. Maybe 3:1 is true for a micro turbines, but for larger jets wikipedia says the pressure ratio is 30:1 to 40:1 citing the Trent 900 at 39:1 and the GE90 at 42:1.

Which according to the same article says that a 40:1 PR is equivalent to a 15:1 compression ratio.

By the way, something is up with the server serving the static doc. The link to the docs is wrong, eg https://github.com/iron/router should link to http://docs.ironframework.io/router/, instead of http://docs.ironframework.io/core/router. To add insult to injury, http://docs.ironframework.io/core/router returns 200 with an empty body instead of 404.

That said, the framework itself looks interesting, though the 'iron/alloy/etc' terminology is a little bit of an annoyance.

Google Ventures Mulls Its European Moves
Legally, "you should have known something fishy was going to occur" is a very different beast from "you knowingly participated in a felony conspiracy, and a co-conspirator committed murder that depended on your material aid."

Home invasions have a tendency to end up with someone dead. Don't help your friends commit them by giving them guns or the vehicles to get there. (Also, don't be the getaway driver for a bank robbery.)

Without the court finding that Holle knew his friends were going to commit burglary, the prosecutor could wave his arms all he wanted about how he should have known his friends were scumbags and he should not have lent them even his watch, but the actual legal requirements for felony murder would have fallen apart.
>Not even close. This is another regime looking to suppress dissent, just like China has been doing all along. They don't trust their own citizens, not "corporations and other stewards of this medium." You're buying a flimsy excuse for cracking down on free speech.

Russia, as a sovereign state has the right to make its own mind, including for what it considers dissidents. It's not the place of some foreigners to judge that. Especially since it's a democracy, and people voted for their government, however some foreigners might or might not like it.

Even if you disagree with their current regime, it's the regime the Russian people voted for, and they can also change it in the future.
And regardless if it is a good or a bad government, there is really no excuse for a sovereign country to give access to its citizens data to an external power, especially one which treats foreign information like intelligence data and doesn't care at all about their privacy.

Better to be abused by your own government, the one you voted for, even if it's bad and abusive, than by some regime outside your borders.

If Americans had their Facebook/Google/etc data in a third country and those countries services treated them as US services do, they would be screaming bloody murder.

>Their problem has never been that some company cooperates with the US. It has always been that multinationals couldn't be easily strong-armed into cooperating with the local authorities.

And why shouldn't they be strong-armed into cooperating with the local authorities? It's their country, their rules, not something for multinationals to piss all over.
I think one reason is that many people in the bitcoin market are unsophisticated compared to your normal market traders.

But also, Bitcoin is an asset all by itself. You can't hedge it against other assets, like you can do with corn or tech. You can't easily short it. So, there's no "true" reasonable price range like with most assets, and no normal influences on the price. It's basically truly a bubble of hot air everybody is bidding on, except with the hope that the bubble will never burst, and be used as currency.

What Jill Lepore Gets Wrong About Clayton Christensen and Disruptive Innovation
That's a terrible indicator. Unless the guy was a complete moron, he wouldn't just submit an order to the market to buy 30k coins at the market price. It would be trickled over the process of a couple of weeks.

By your same logic, the coins he bought are hardly worth anything because if he tried to sell them it would just crash the price. There is only about 5k worth of buy orders in the book at the moment.

In fact, if he paid above market price, it would be in his interest to make sure the number got 'leaked' to encourage rampant speculation to drive up the price beyond what he paid.
Oh, I must of read it wrong then.

You've got to read pretty deeply into that tweet to come away with that perception. Why not just include the tweet, instead of paraphrase it:

"People who claim to be feminists but then shit on queer girls just for liking games that represent them ARE THE FUCKING GROSSEST"
The general assumption in both the public mind and law is that anonymous == criminal, because of the "if you've got nothing to hide you've got nothing to fear" argument.

The long term downward trend in the trustedness of institutions has been steadily undermining this argument which is why, I think, things like Tor exist at all, but public attitudes change slowly.

In the case of Tor, it's slower / less convenient than usual browsing and is otherwise the same except for being more anonymous. So it's very easy to plant the idea in people's minds that there's no point in using it unless you're up to no good. And the Tor project doesn't really help here - they talk about the legitimate uses on their website but don't point to concrete examples (iirc), e.g. they say the military use it, but provide no real evidence of that. I think actually the UK child porn censors use it as well because it's a source of free proxies and child porn hosting sites know their IP addresses and block them, which is a pretty funny story, but this was mentioned in some talk and I don't think it's on their website.

To make things worse, the internet itself is rapidly converging on the consensus that Tor isn't worth it. Witness the widespread blocking of exit nodes that occurs these days. Tor is losing the argument not just in court but elsewhere too.

IMHO running Tor exits will not become less dangerous any time soon unless Tor finds a way to significantly boost "obviously legit" usage. For that they'd need to provide a Tor browser that isn't geared towards the total-anonymity-or-die crowd. VPN services like HotSpot Shield absolutely dominate Tor in terms of usage because they're much easier t use and don't do stuff like disable Flash and constantly wipe cookies, which makes them much more popular for people trying to evade national censorship but not treat the destination service as hostile.
"its use". "It's" means only "it is" or maybe "it has".
Came here to write this. I've kept lists of project ideas for years, but the last few years breaks them down into "could have market validation" and "would just be for fun."

There's a dozen new ones so far this year. Maybe two of them have any potential for market validation (I'm evaluating one of them right now). The rest are almost certainly projects where, as neat as they would be, there's probably zero chance anyone would pay to solve that problem.

The 200 is being served as the default of `rust-http`. Static will never serve a 404 - it will only defer to the next middleware, and the docs server is overly simple, so it just goes to default.
Yes, this is standard practice at any major US software company and is part of your employment contract.

In some cases it really does make sense, where you have privileged knowledge by working at the company and directly competing publicly using that unpublished insider knowledge is pretty obviously a bad idea. A lot of companies actually have pretty legitimate review boards that will quickly approve anything not directly competing for public release.

On the other extreme, some companies basically refuse to approve anything for external release: my father as an EE at IBM wasn't allowed to release templates for making labels for homebrew beer bottles. An ex-IBMer on my current team worked on a relatively small piece of software that would have been great to open source (and really not competing with any of IBMs initiatives) but IBM wouldn't allow it, nor did they want the project to be continued or used in any meaningful way.
one of the points of the article is wrong, fp isn't stateless at all it just tends to represent state in a different way - look at monads in haskell.
That's what I was thinking. The gloom & doom only comes from people who like to think about that side of software engineering and usually these people have uni degrees. They worry about the complexity of software and where it's going. I am one of those people (while other people are trying to get work done). And as such I find the industry way too optimistic/positive.
New York is missing a graphic
I think the next few years will be just as interesting. HP plan to bring their Memristor based systems to market in 2019. If Samsung's plans go to schedule, they will be selling 8 TB SSDs for under US$1000 in a 2.5" form factor. While not the "flat" memory architecture promised by HP, that is certainly a price that will make SSDs competitive with platter drives for a much wider range of applications. Not only in terms of performance but physical space occupied.

I am not surprised. Most of the machinery necessary for such things is still developing in Rust.

When I was testing my now-discontinued framework (widmann) using a very early version of rust-http, I felt lucky when it didn't drop or break on half of the requests. Reliability comes before performance in this regard and Rust is a bit from done. I expect that to develop quickly once the general shape of code is known and people start profiling and optimizing.
