I'm not a lawyer. AND I do recommend you consult with one. The following is a suggestion you might want to discuss.

Based on your contract, you should be able to get an enforceable demand for your employer to pay you. If you are not paid and the deadline for payment expires, you might be able to get a lien over the server and other property. At that stage you can shut things down, etc. If the employer is a company then there might be a case for flagging them as trading whilst insolvent. Under UK law that is a biggie.

As @issa suggests maintain your dignity and professionalism. Taking revenge could put a dark cloud above your reputation.

Unless you have political skillz be very careful with how and with what you contact board members. They might be in cahoots with your problem person. I'd suggest in person meeting so you can better assess the situation. Emails are often very unsuitable for such information.
The hacker probably thought it was real. That website lets you pay cash (locally in China). You can enter any name/address/email/phone number you want, there is zero validation, and you can submit as 'cash', so no payment required at that time. You will get a confirmation e-mail like Satoshi did. So someone was probably just messing around and submitted a fake order in 2013, for whatever reason.
Please do not ever try to give financial advice again.
Thanks for your feedback!
Yeah, I wanted to have it "Type or tap", but I couldn't get the search feature to work quite correctly. The Search Query can't handle too vague, yet vital searches (ie. Jefferson St) or it simply returns null :( Definitely a priority upgrade at the moment!
Thank you for taking time out to comment! :)

> `tuple.nonVolatileF` will see the write to that variable in C_2, no?

Talking about such things in English is ambiguous. The formal
statement is

"For any read r ∈ C_i −C_(i−1), we have W_i(r) ∈ C_(i−1) and W(r) ∈
C_(i−1)".

A clearer way to state the clause in English is "writes seen by reads
in C_i - C_(i-1) belong to C_(i-1);". I can justify an execution as
long as reads (ultimately) seen any write in the commit previous to
the one it is in, subject to happens before consistency. To prevent
causality loops, the JMM allows a read to see a write that happened
before it in the commit that introduces it. Then, to allow certain
interesting optimizations, the JMM allows us the bait-and-switch the
write a read saw -- "Each read r in C_i − C_(i−1) must see writes in
C_(i−1) in both E_i and E, but may see a different write in E_i from
the one it sees in E.".

The non-volatile read is _allowed_ to see the non-volatile write
(i.e. such an execution exists, this is the question I ask in the
exercise), but it doesn't have to. The transform in question is
illegal because the transformed program allows behavior that the
untransformed program didn't allow -- the transform breaks semantics.

> Since you're constructing an execution, why didn't you interleave
> the execution to make this trivially true?

I don't understand this, make /what/ trivially true? In any case, the
transformed program has a data race, and so observationally it doesn't
need to have a sequentially consistent execution. Specifically, it is
allowed to show behavior that cannot be described by any
interleaving of the instructions streams of the individual threads.

> Also, can't you wrap the writer in an atomic block during

What purpose would that serve?
Perhaps the US has stronger entrepreneurial culture? I've seen this discussed before.
This was very confusing until I realized HN had invisible code boxes with a fixed width.
People don't read websites, they skim them. Web design is much more akin to poster or presentation design than book design.
Thanks for your comment!
Yup, I used VS2012 in C# and XAML

Definitely got a lot of feedback from my friends to get it on iOS and Android. Haha, and yeah, Android Studio is quite the hassle compared to Visual Studio, but will definitely get through it :)
SMBs beware, IoT is here
ah... there goes the shark. let's jump it. SOAR OVER IT.

i'd fret to be in any way associated with a company that would publish such ignorant self promotion in its own channels.
Haha, thanks!

I just happen to own a Windows Phone, and commuted a lot, while in the process, missed quite a few stops due to tiredness and overall school stress.
I think the implication he is trying to make is this:

If it was a collective of people it is(might be) more likely that one of them is incompetent(and didn't configure TOR properly) where-as if it was a single competent/careful individual there's a smaller chance of a TOR mis-configuration and resulting IP-address leak.

I don't think it lends much credence to the 'multiple entities' theory at all personally, but that's the best I could come up with. Feel free to correct.
Not sure if you're talking about Chrome or Firefox.
For Firefox, I think but am not sure that you can use
Cookies Manager + to Edit cookies.
The hostility comes from Google being the gatekeeper to the internet for most people. And them using that privilege to unfairly promote their products above alternatives.

And you must be deluded if you think the privacy concerns aren't a serious concern for Europeans. The US was implicated in hacking the phones of the German Chancellor and Snowden showed the extent of NSA data capture/mining. What do you expect them to do .. put their head in the ground and do nothing ?
Lol, I didn't do much thinking into which device to start with
I'll take a look into Xamarin, I actually never heard of it before. Thanks for your advice!
Thanks for your advice!

Already starting on Android devices :)
That is precisely the right thing to do.
Others have cautioned against taking down the site or similar, and I second those. I'd also like to point out that libel laws in the UK can bite you even when you tell the truth so I'd be careful with the bad press approach as well.

As virtually everyone has said, the very first thing to do is get in touch with a solicitor. The next thing to do is follow their advice, which I would expect would be first sending a "srsly, pay me" letter, and then going to court if that doesn't work.
Even mentioned transducers, cool! But, I was hoping for a treatment of CSP and react/flux. jlongster teased us about that here[1]. Maybe the next post in the series? (plz?)

All this craze of Xamarin, I really need to check it out haha
Good VCs and good employers only make offers when they really want the candidate.
'I'd like to threaten that my legal and "PR" actions will cause 10x damage.'

I understand the feeling, but this is likely an unimaginably bad idea.
All correct.

High quality investors and hiring managers don't make offers to people they're not highly interested in.

Odds are much higher that interest is close to 0.99 than 0.1.
Mark is performing for television. The only appropriate response to a 30 second offer is "f--- off".

I just happen to have a WP, and like C# the most :)
Already working on an Android version as many of my friends have told me :)
And for those that can't get credit cards...? I mean, I agree with you that that's definitely the safest way, but lets not forget that there are a significant portion of the population that have bad or no credit and are stuck with Debit cards at best. What of them?
Take my idea: The Stephen Fry channel
A TV channel dedicated only to showing TV programs, dramas, comedies, documentaries, childrens programs, crime drama, period drama, quiz shows and lifestyle programs starring Stephen Fry.

24 X 7 Stephen Fry. No re-runs ever.

All Fry, all the time. If you run a TV station feel free to take this inspiration.

You'll make big money.

The only problem is what to do with all the leftover Stephen Fry TV content that there isn't time to show......
Oh whoops,

I'm new on HN, did I do something wrong? :o
The best book is "No":

Do you think the other member states of the EU, Spain say, want to set an easy precedent for regions of countries to become autonomous states and be accepted in to the EU?

The UK is in the EU - a new country is being formed, that country is not in the EU.

The Yes proponents appear to be answering all the tricky questions with "{smiling and waving hands} we're sure it'll work out in our favour".

I'm waiting for HM the Queen to dissolve her Scottish parliament and put Salmond in the Tower! That'd spice things up a bit.
How does copyright work in a situation like this then?
You're taking a paywalled (expensive paywall at that) article and posting it elsewhere. How's it not copyright infringement?
One thing they don't tell you in the Specialized video is that they're not testing someone who is pedaling.

This isn't true. Watch the video - he's pedaling when they test.

There's some much more turbulence from just moving your legs, that shaved or not shaved makes almost 0 difference.

That's almost exactly wrong. It's true that pedalling creates turbulence, but the speed your legs move and the turbulence created by that movement is almost entirely disguised by other effects.

For example, the fact a bike is asymmetrical (because of the drivetrain) is a much bigger factor than turbulence because of moving legs.

It is important that testing includes pedaling, because there can be particular positions that work better on some bikes (or for some people) than others.

But in this case the testing used sensible protocols and the difference is a real thing.

Bicycling manufacturers always skew the numbers for how much savings (time, watts, whatever) their new top of the line frames will give you. It's all smoke and mirrors.

That may be the case, but all Specialized is selling here is their aerodynamic expertise (at least until you can buy a Specialized razor blade).
then demand that browsers don't ship with a default search engine?
Thanks for your comments!

Yeah, definitely not a finished product; many updates incoming !
Haskell and similar languages are pretty hard to read for the beginners, so let me give some background:

As I understand it, the idea behind dependent typing is to safely separate a runtime check from the code that relies on the check. A runtime check can be done early in the dataflow and only done once (or at compile time for a constant), rather than repeatedly re-checked each time a function uses a value, and the compiler proves this is safe. For this to work, we must encode what we've proven (for example, the length of a list) into the return type at the time we do the runtime check. (Or for a constant, the compiler can calculate the type and we can remove the runtime check altogether.)

A very simple sort of check is just to make a NonEmptyList type and ensure that it can only be constructed if the list is non-empty. Everything downstream can rely on this with no runtime check at all. But I'm not sure this even counts; it seems like you need to encode more than one bit of data to make it a dependent type.

A more interesting example might be an unzip function that returns two lists that are proven to be the same length. In a regular programming language, the unzip function could return an EqualLenghtListPair type and then you could pass both lists around together, never having to check if their lengths are equal again. But the number of special-purpose types you need gets awkward fast so this isn't really practical without language support.
In this case they measure the wind resistance of the rider directly in the wind tunnel. The fact the rider knows their legs are shaved doesn't seem to be a factor in that measurement.
What does "organic" mean, though? Does it include unbelieavbly bad alternatives to stock Android facilities, like the Aptoide market mentioned in the article? I mean that site is just a piece of shit. Every click takes minutes to service! Is it really Google's responsibility to direct users to miserable experiences, just because some Eurocrat wants his pals to make more money? That's all this boils down to really: local bureaucrats trying to use sovereign powers to enrich their friends.
If you're free to use another service at no cost to yourself, then there is no gatekeeper.

If the primary problem (supposed "cost") in switching, is that you have to use an inferior product, then you're proving your position to be wrong to begin with.

Their position is not a privilege, and as such promoting their own products and services with their own service is and should be their right.

Google either owns its property, and has full control over that property, or it does not. If you claim it does not, then you're claiming the right to revoke property rights any time and any place when it's matching with your personal ideology.
I posted something at top level.
It'd make a lot more sense to everyone if the 30-day periods were staggered for each employee, and if they could score "assists" for fellow employees (said fellow employee would need to agree, of course). This would probably make the sales process far more sustainable and team-oriented.

Of course, companies that haven't set their own quarter ends (my employer's quarter ends on a different day than the calendar quarter) are also subject to a similar larger-scale rush-to-target by Wall Street.
if the europeans were bothered enough by boeing to create airbus, why aren't they bothered enough to create their own search engine?
the chinese don't seem to have a problem not using google..
Everything. Researching is horrible. Purchase flows suck. Fees suck.

Portfolio analysis terrible – For example on a stocks page there isn't even an easy way to see existing positions, let alone my historical purchases like when, how much and what price. It's just "here's this stocks history" not "here's this stocks history including YOU'RE history with this stock.

And on and on like that.

I'm just sick of using software that feels like it stopped improving 5-10 years ago....and figured that has to be more out there.
> The prosecution and the defense both have a limited number of potential jurers that can be rejected

Well, an unlimited number can be dismissed for cause, and the prosecution and the defense have, on top of that, a limited number that each can unilaterally dismiss without cause (peremptory challenges.)
I've never once used Google via a browser search bar.

I go to google.com manually every single time, and have since the 1990s.

I don't go out of my way, you're right about that. I simply type g for google.com and firefox fills in the rest.
Gruber's expectations seem surprisingly low given the hype surrounding this event, no?
This is a really crowded space, what sets you apart?

Patagonia, GoLite, Nau and others all have social commitments and are doing rally cool things in terms of supply chain transparency or you can buy from a small cottage maker like nw alpine, cilogear or westcomb (all made in the usa or candada). Are you a B-corp like some of the others mentioned?

Do you have any connection to the culture you appropriated for your name? Sherpa Adventure Gear is at least owned made and tested by sherpas...

Looking at this stuff as an experienced climber/hiker/mountaineer/skier it looks poorly thought out or poorly described. Ie either the designes were thrown together or the guy who wrote the description wasn't aware of the purpose and has no experience layering for the outdoors.

Focusing on the Pacaya coat for example, Polartech alpha is a really cool breathable puffy coat fabric released in the last couple of years but you don't mention that or if the face fabric you use complements that (ie the westcomb tango similar to your pacaya uses pertex equilibrium. See also the rab strata, marmot isotherm, and new patagonia nano air (non alpha but similar fabric) all of which make a big deal of the increased breathability of these new fabrics) or even list a denier for it...it could be some pu coated nylon that breathes like a ziplock.

You mention polartech power stretch which is a specific fabric but don't mention where it is used or why you would want to add a breathable fleece panel to an already breathable alpha jacket.

And what the hell is a scuba hood? Does it go under or over a helmet? And how much does this thing weigh? This is the single most important piece of information most serious outdoor people will look for.

Some of the pieces seem technical and some are made from waxed cotton with buttons...as a young brand i'd suggest focusing either on pieces that actually work in the outdoors or stylish ones but not trying to do both until you develop a following.

I can't tell what is up with the packs. I'm ignoring the cotton/leather ones and the luzon does look okay (similar to athe popular rei flash) but the rest have tons of zippers in strange places and there is a hugh gap in your line in the "actually useful for serious outdoor pursuits ranging from 1-3 day trips" 30-55 liter size.

My suggestion would be that, if you want to market yourself as an outdoor company focus on making quality pieces that fill outdoors peoples needs and be better about listing specs to help people decided if what you have is better then what else is out there. Being "for good" is not particularly unique in this industry.

If you want to do fashion do fashion.
We've been using JWTs for our single-sign-on integrations (and some other tokens) with Livefyre customers for a couple years now. No downsides at all! Customers that aren't familiar with JWT are easily able to create tokens with all the libraries available in nearly every language. It's been depended on in some other lovely protocols like OpenID Connect. Great standard.
Which part of Europe are you referring to?

Most of Europe is not at all like what you're describing.
Wow, great visualizations, this will be helpful when trying to simplify node to run in embedded environments. Here's a good example:

tldr about jwt

1. They're made up of three .-delimited segments: header.data.sig

2. JWT doesn't prescribe any particular sig algorithm. The header indicates by what method the {data} JSON object was signed to get {sig}. A common sig method is hmac-sha

3. JWT only provides a signature to assure that the {data} was not tampered with. The data is not private at all and easily inspected (which is nice for debugging). JWE can provide encryption http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-jose-json-web-encrypti...

And for some: "Why is this useful?". It's useful if my API needs to receive requests to do serious business like delete things or post as your account. How do I know if the request is from a trusted source? Well if the trusted source has a secret key they can use to generate the {sig} according to the {data}, then I can verify that the requester had access to the secret key and therefore trusted.

Massage and reducing wear-and-tear in event of crashing are the best most plausible reasons I've heard for it. I'd never heard anybody seriously thinking it reduces drag in a meaningful way.

I rebut your naked assertion with anecdata. Once a retailer offered to look up something on her computer for me. She opened up internet explorer, the default browser on her operating system. It loaded Bing. Then she typed "Google" into Bing. Then she clicked the first result. Then she typed her question into Google.
A good thing that 5-6 people is a statistically significant number of participants....
I'm a Fiverr and Elance veteran. There is a tremendous amount of choice,which is daunting for sure. You can narrow the choices by setting standards. As a newbie, simply filtering for top rated sellers or Level 2 narrows your choices. And should make you feel a bit easier about accountability & quality since these folks have proven themselves by Fiverr standards. You can control when you get your work by looking at delivery or turnaround times. Add an extra day just to be sure. I use multiple sites based on my need on each project. I don't shop the same project to multiple sites that's counterproductive. It's better to decide what you want to use each platform. Have a look at Clarity, Elance and Fiverr; each has a slightly different focus. I wrote a book for Fiverr buyers ( the first). You can get it at http://infoproductdoctor.com/Fiverr-guide. It's free til 9/23
This is the correct answer, and that has cultural and economic system roots that date to the very origin of the United States.

The rest of the answer is that the US possesses an integrated, massive, comprehensive economic system. From capital markets, to VC markets, to every major industry, to the top universities on the planet, to a massive existing infrastructure related to science, engineering, programming, internet services, a total ecosystem from top to bottom. No other country on earth can match the total sum, and Europe as a whole is not integrated well at all.
