This is neat, but movie-plot threat territory. Far more dangerous to actual security on iPhones is that airplane mode can be enabled from the lock-screen "Control Center" by default.

This basically means if somebody wants to steal your iPhone, the first thing they're gonna do is swipe up, turn on Airplane mode, and lock you out of using Find my iPhone to find or lock it. They can wait until they get to a chop shop or anything else, by which point they'll have their money, meaning that they'll still be incentivized to steal iPhones.

You can disable this 'feature' (control center from the lockscreen) in Settings, and I think we should spend way more time advertising that than worrying about whether it is possible for someone working in a lab to use latent prints to unlock your phone. In the time it's going to take them to do that, hopefully you can get somewhere to lock the phone online - but if the villain disables your ability to remotely brick the device, that's way more worrisome to me.
This is awesome. I've been waiting for Yosemite's JS Automation so I can do some similar things with my downloads (Moving into folders based on tags, etc.) so this is going to be fun to play around with.

Cracking the problem of online identification
Your comments are very reasonable, but I would caution against reading much in to the current state of open source offerings. I've tried different approaches to resolving the networking side myself and concluded that there is no one true solution here and therefore it must be left out of service scope (ie. abstracted adequately).

This is particularly the case if portability is required, because different business-level requirements call for different service and infrastructure topologies utilizing different technologies, not all of which actually support any single approach. Think hypervisor-based VMs, containers, bare-metal clusters, etc.

Therefore I believe that solutions like docker and kubernetes are - given present architecture as I understand them - critically misaligned, in that they do not go far enough to abstract some target infrastructure related questions away from services. To do so would require reshuffling their APIs significantly and is thus unlikely to spontaneously occur in the near-term without concerted effort.

More recent iterations of the approach I have been taking assume that hypervisors, containers, jails, JVM guests or embedded systems firmware (eg. Android) should all be conceptually in-scope at the level of service authors. When considering the target deployment environment, networking is optionally in scope, and then only optionally TCP/IP. Given this redefined perspective, I believe that if a minimalist, process-oriented solution developed to facilitate the SaaS/unix SOA market is not robust enough to serve at least this range of alternative development trajectories, then in my view it is probably making invalid assumptions somewhere along the line. Of course, providing so general a tool usefully and without irritating developers or throwing up barriers to adoption is a real challenge.

So if I understand this correctly, they assume they are going to make profit purely based on rebates? I don't think this kind of business model has been tested yet so this is quite interesting.
That's not 100% accurate - rather how you make it sound like it works isn't quite right.

Yes, all your trades are tracked and you will pay taxes on short term gains and can offset tax liabilities with losses.

But that isn't something you - or your accountant does - your brokerage firm (any of them) will issue you a tax document (I can't think of the name at the moment) which summarizes everything for you - it gets inputed on your tax return, and you are done.

However your last point - tends to be very true - unless you really know what you're doing, buying and holding is the way to go.
Metal Fences for Business and Home
Metal fences are a good choice for fencing projects that require a modern look. If you want your business to look more professional, metal fencing can make it look polished and clean no matter the season. For the home, a decorative metal fence can add elegance and flair. Fencing contractors in Colorado install metal fences for businesses, homes, and other places around town.

http://strategicfence.com/fences/metal-fences/

Fence companies have a variety of metal fences to choose from. Metal works very well for heavy duty entry gates, keeping children and pets in while keeping unwanted wildlife and intruders out. Metal fencing is a great option for residential communities as well as commercial areas. Whether the fence is simple or ornate, metal fencing holds up against weather and time, no matter where it is installed.
catchy title and this was a great reminder of finding the balance between speed and quality. Many answers that I was looking for have been presented through user growth and interaction. Without getting my app up there, it would be very difficult to come to that conclusion. I have also found that building a solid foundation can save time in the future even though it may cost more time currently.

A super simple example would be writing lines of code. Making sure all the tags line up properly and everything is commented out will allow the app to flow more efficiently in the future. Go-fast/efficiently

You don’t understand what the FDIC is for. It’s not there to protect your deposits from being stolen by robbers. It exists to ensure consumers that banks are guaranteed to be solvent while they practice fractional reserve banking. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Deposit_Insurance_Corpo...

If someone holds a gun to my head, I would give them my passphrase. I’d also go into my bank and wire my money into their account. In both scenarios, my money is gone forever.

Maybe someday, someone will invent a store of value that is safe, even if someone is threatening to kill you.
Obviously keep your knives sharp, although I'm quite lazy about this :)

Big knives are easier to cut with. Move the food around and pull the knife towards you through the food, so your dominant hand is just repeating the same slicing motion (which also reduces the likelihood of cuts). Some foods like to be cut a particular way, pay attention to the grain and try to stay at right angles to it.

There is plenty of evidence that the "market" is NOT always right. Where is your evidence that is is correct in this case?

In addition, there is a big difference between "no demand" and "so much cheaper to buy somebody else's."

Like many things, movie production has an economy of scale. Peter Jackson proved that by basically subsidizing an entire movie industry in New Zealand.
I was actually referring to the multiple listed references at the bottom of the article you "read."

They are going to sell their uninformed customer's order flow to market makers (edit: I assume) and internalize trades. That's a circuitous way to mark up the prices their customers are paying for securities.

It is structurally different from but conceptually similar to the mark up you pay when you exchange currency.

No free lunches, as they say.

I can see 2 major things happened. One good and one bad.

1) The bad is that the average person didn't seem to be outraged enough to do anything or they were outraged but incapable of doing anything. That is not even the bad part. The bad part is that NSA and others have learned that even with such obvious things people are powerless. They will likely ramp up their capabilities in the future.

2) The good thing is that we are discussing it and some who create and are knowledgeable about security and technology have started developing and enhancing their tools. Because a lot of the techniques are open now. We can defend better from them.

Sometimes tools created by a few can be used by the large population. That is a nice side effects.

Notice "us" vs "them". I think that is how "they" see the situation and how we should see it. It is a war between the American public and the NSA so to speak. It is important to keep this adversarial position because the other side already has that position.

It is also important to mention NSA is not monolithic and talking about "it" vs "us" is not quite accurate. Many decisions are probably made based on bureaucratic concerns -- sunk costs, contractor kickbacks and so on, rather than some inherent evil conspiratorial cabal. But for the propaganda domain, I think it is effective in portraying it that way. Because looking at its behavior as a whole it kind of exhibits those traits.

An MVP is an ugly lean-to (not even shack - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lean-to), it is 100% functional. Building it means getting airdropped into a completely unknown forest with an axe and nothing else (in this analogy the unknown is your market, and only an axe because you have no programmer resources except what you can wield by hand for a few hours), a few pieces of tarp, and 8 hours until freezing night temperatures set in. And maybe wolves.

It's not a minimum viable house, minimum lovable house, or whatever else. It literally is the absolute smallest thing that can POSSIBLY meet purely physical requirements such as protection from wind or holding some warmth so that you can, ahem, not die, and which you have any hope of building with no resources, and from nothing, using nothing. This is why it is absolutely crucial to know how long it takes to build, and why people focus on it.

In the market, it is the absolute smallest thing that anybody can use to achieve anything.

It doesn't matter what this designer thinks of MVP's, because when a designer starts getting involved, you are way outside of MVP territory. This author is an interior decorator criticizing a survival guide.

To the author: I don't know if you program, but if you want to experience the meaning of MVP, try coding something up enough for anyone to achieve anything using it. I guarantee you will not miss the time you spent not getting the design (aesthetics, love, etc) right.

On the other hand, you will die in the cold if you have nothing but a beautiful photoshop mockup to look at. That is the meaning of MVP.

They are basically agreeing to climate change, human intervention etc. And saying in turn what is not settled is how exactly will the climate change in the future.

Umm, to the best of my knowledge that is like saying 'we would like to predict the future'. On top of that humans so far have a bad track record at predicting climate at all even a few weeks ahead.

So I feel like we should not even be asking this question. Instead we should focus on how the climate has been effected so far (hottest year in recorded history, drought in California, unreliable seasons for crops etc) and make changes because of that.

Assuming even if current state continues, we will soon run out of food and water.

I think you've articulated a great point about the current trend in the Cloud services and fast SSD personal computers. I have personally stayed away from the large storage plans at services like Dropbox because, as you point out, they would fill my entire 128GB Macbook Air instantly. But that seems to be the common theme with laptops these days – blazing fast hard drives at the cost of larger storage.

I actually think iTunes Match does a good job of solving this problem, on a media storage basis. I have my whole library "uploaded" to iTunes, but then I can selectively download and listen to songs on any device when I need them, even to my 8GB phone. Now my music library doesn't clog up my computer or phone or tablet, etc.

If dropbox found a similar model, I would sign up for that in an instant.

I'm reasonably certain there is a legal requirement to disclose this to their customers. Has this disclosure happened or are you just assuming they are selling order flow (it was the first thing I assumed when I saw their original business plan).

I don't know how they are going to make money any other way, but their vague handwaving about it sure is suspicious. If they are going to make most of their money from rebates are they going to prevent people from taking liquidity?

[edit] chollida1 confirms that they are selling order flow: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8358217
Nope, quite the opposite (at least the part about me). I'm the guy that loves & thrives on talking to people.
Even if you do know what you're doing, it's still not a good idea. You're not likely to be successful without the resources of a large firm backing you up. Every arbitrage opportunity you can recognize will be completely priced in to the asset in the time it takes you to click "buy". Of course, anyone who know what they're doing knows this.

Buy and hold is literally the only plausible strategy for an individual investor. If you want to invest with a specific trading strategy, find a fund that employs that strategy and buy that fund. I guarantee you that your trading strategy is not novel; if it works, someone has already done it.

"(I will not be answering media enquiries related to this commit.)" - take note, Sam Varghese

It's a shame that such a commit is so obviously political (in terms of how it will be taken, not why it was done). I think this is technically the right call, but I doubt much of the argument will be on technicals.
Because this is ultimately a social problem. You're not going to make conflict or oppression obsolete with encryption; even if a tyrrannical government can't get any actionable information out of someone it perceives as an antagonist, it may feel free to abuse or torture people simply to keep the rest of the population in line - by terrorizing some people and catering by proxy to the sadistic instincts of others.Many different societies are quite happy to tolerate viciously oppressive governments as long as the oppression is concentrated upon a distinct minority population.
I completely agree with buy + hold vs day trading, but I think you are totally off basis with the tax documentation concerns. Robinhood will surely be issuing people nicely-formatting 1099s and there is no reason to assume you can't do the filings yourself - turbotax already has nice importers from all the big brokerages so you don't even need to enter data yourself. Long gone are the days of having to manually keep track of any purchase dates and cost basises

I agree with you, but the laws shouldn't affect Netflix. The internet almost completely removes the need for enforced broadcasting of content. I can make a show and put it online and get a worldwide audience easily.

THe only problem is that if you don't put these restrictions on netflix then you have a harder time justifying it with legacy television providers.
> unless you really know what you're doing, buying and holding is the way to go.

The Wall Street Journal dartboard contest, which ran for several years, shows that, statistically speaking, even if you do think you know what you're doing, a buy & hold index fund is still a better choice than an active portfolio.

http://www.investorhome.com/darts.htm

Quote: "The pros barely edged the DJIA by a margin of 51 to 49 contests. In other words, simply investing passively in the Dow, an investor would have beaten the picks of the pros in roughly half the contests (that is, without even considering transactions costs or taxes for taxable investors)."
Yup, in the market, you're either screwing the other guy, or you're the one getting screwed. This app is like throwing buckets of chum in the water. I bet the market is salivating for the day people start making protest sales based on whatever the rage is on Twitter.

Totally agree though. I'm not going to pay for a TB of storage until I can moves files I don't need on my SSD anymore (ie RAW photos I've developed) into Dropbox and have them removed from my computer seamlessly.

Sooooo easy to implement, just upload the file. When it's done, run an md5 on the local and the cloud, if same then delete local.
