I haven't checked this paper, but what I've read independently, perhaps based on it, is that's true.

In general just knowing it's an enveloped virus tells you a lot about its ability to survive in the environment. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viral_envelope which points out that the lipid bilayer stolen from the host cell "is relatively sensitive to desiccation, heat, and detergents, therefore these viruses are easier to sterilize than non-enveloped viruses, have limited survival outside host environments, and typically must transfer directly from host to host." And this isn't something that's going to change with mutations.

This is why we aren't freaking out more by the no protection pressure washing of the index patient's vomit outside his apartment. It was sufficiently delayed that the heat and UV from the sun almost certainly killed all the Ebola viri in it. Of course that delay wasn't so good....
This is long term/platform play. Think wordpress. The problems they are solving are not easy to solve. They are executing well! Worst case, one of snoozefest enterprise shops will just buy the whole thing.
Cool at first glance but I do have skeptical questions:

(1) Durability was my biggest question -- how much flex and bend can this thing survive? How about being chewed on by a toddler, put through the washer and dryer (high heat), taken into a hot tub by mistake, dropped and stepped on with hard-sole shoes, etc.

(2) Ditto the other skeptical questions re: chip and pin.

(3) How big is the niche for this? I mean, I only have one debit card I use routinely and one credit card I use rarely. Carrying two plastic cards is not that big of a deal. I wouldn't pay $155 just to merge them into one card that can run out of battery power.

(4) Speaking of recharge... now there's another device I need to plug in or otherwise mate with some kind of charger? No thanks.
Yeah- my carelessness (again): full fix is on gist but will take a minute.

One gap in my understanding is who exactly the Token Service Providers are. That article says the card networks are, but I guessed that the issuing banks were when I read the spec the first time. I'll read it again eventually, but if anyone actually knows, please share that knowledge.
That explains how to screencap a real functioning app and composite it on top of real hardware that's otherwise running exactly the same thing. That is not what is going on here.

I come to a fork in the road, I can choose to go left or right.

A computer comes to a fork in the road, x == 5 so it goes left, it does not have free will and cannot choose to go right, it always goes left if x == 5.

We can argue "but what about determinism" all day but I'm pretty sure you understand what we mean by "free will" and are just being pedantic.
It seems more unrealistic to assume everyone agrees on the same cost-benefit function. We are different people and value different things. So in any attempt at a proof involving what should be valued more, you have to state your assumptions and they're generally debatable.
Police departments actually get a lot of their military-grade equipment free from the federal government. After the military has given away their "obsolete" tanks to police departments, they can order new tanks from defense contractors. This makes the very rich, influential people at the top levels of the military-industrial complex even richer and more influential.
My favourite part of the whole idea is that in order to get the data they say it helps you with, you'll need to carry your cup everywhere. To the bar. To bed. On vacation. Who would ever do that?

not sure if you figured something out already, but just saw your comment and remembered that this exists in PHP:

absent another source, you could dump it out for your usage elsewhere.

% php -r 'print_r(get_html_translation_table(HTML_ENTITIES, ENT_QUOTES|ENT_HTML5));'

or

% php -r 'print json_encode(get_html_translation_table(HTML_ENTITIES, ENT_QUOTES|ENT_HTML5));' | jq .

I think the parent's comment still has a valid point. In the app demo it is more a presentation of something that we are presented how it is, the app. When we will download the app we will get what we see in the video, it is pretty and gives a realistic idea of the functionality makes the app pretty, but the app is still the same. On the other hand, the video in op's website is simply a fake as in it's not a real representation of anything concrete. It's a promise, a nice one, but still not concrete or real and we all know that the end product might end up highly different from the promise.

Yeah. And all three of us are outside of my "most programmers", which is unsurprising, because we are reading comments on a post about type systems, which is a weird thing to do.

I encourage you to go ask some random C++ programmers, perhaps a bunch of EA employees, whether C or PHP is more "strongly typed", and see what they say. Note that because of void pointers, I believe that C fits your definition of "weakly typed", and as far as I know, PHP does not fit your definition (and btw I agree with you about what steveklabnik intended, though we may both be wrong).

And yeah, we're primarily disagreeing about what classes of people agree on what terminology. This is why I agree with chrisseaton in the cousin-thread, that there is no good definition... people assume other people know what "strong" means, and yet they mostly disagree.

And I'd like to repeat that as far as I can tell, if you survey the type-theorist literature, I think that type theorists

a) have mostly stopped using those stupid vague labels, and
b) back when they did use them, each author used them for something different

and repeat my entreaty for evidence to the contrary.

Not exactly. A timing attack relies on targeting an ongoing process. If you disclose after the investigation is complete, then there's nothing to attack.

In your analogy, it would be closer to someone logging and then disclosing the fact they had logged in at some point (years) in the future.

(FWIW, I am not a security researcher, but I've heard about how these things work. Would love to be corrected if wrong. :) )
I believe one of Meteor's intended, future revenue streams will be as a service provider for Meteor applications. If you take a look at the Meteor trello-board (https://trello.com/b/hjBDflxp/meteor-roadmap) it is listed as Galaxy.

As a Meteor developer, I would pay for a solution that allowed me to use Meteor's collection of magic on a platform that was built specifically to take advantage of said magic.
You don't have to assume everything is total, you just need to track in the type system which things are and which aren't. E.g. you could also give it the type

HttpRequest -> IO HttpResponse

where IO is some type allowing nontermination (e.g. defined coinductively along the lines of http://www.cs.swan.ac.uk/~csetzer/slides/goeteborg2009AgdaIn...).

Having a type for total functions gives you the option to state and prove totality properties, even if you maybe don't want to go through the effort of doing that for every function you write.

It's pretty obvious you haven't even bothered to do any research. Famo.us doesn't have a particularly good product, but it totally makes sense why they've been able to get funding - one of the cofounders of Famous sold a company for $100M. So to any VC it's a no-brainer to invest in him again.

Meteor has some really really smart people working on it, and they've repeatedly stated that they plan on monetizing by providing hosting/deployment services (a la WordPress). WordPress is a billion dollar company, in case you've forgotten.

Meteor is not "an MVC framework", it is a platform for creating applications. The investment seems to reflect the ambition described on this page and after having watched them execute over the past two years, I'm glad they're funded, because it clearly enabled them to continue working on this without running out of steam and having to go back to their old jobs.

They have also been quite open about their future plans for making money, such as in the post announcing their funding back in 2012: https://www.meteor.com/blog/2012/07/25/meteors-new-112-milli...

> Eventually, we plan to make a commercial product too, called Galaxy. Galaxy will be a product that the operations department at a large company might buy. It'll be an enterprise-grade, multi-tenant hosting environment for Meteor apps.

> Do you see "SQL" anywhere in "small, fast, reliable"?

I see it all over the place -- the front page of SQLite.org -- where the motto "Small. Fast. Reliable. Choose any three." is presented. Here's the first paragraph of body text from the page:

(emphasis added) "SQLite is a software library that implements a self-contained, serverless, zero-configuration, transactional SQL database engine. SQLite is the most widely deployed SQL database engine in the world. The source code for SQLite is in the public domain."

The place they are telling you that the context is "SQL database engines" rather than just "database engines" is the same place they tell you that the context is something related to database engines as opposed to, say, automobiles.

Why would you want somebody to be able to chdir or otherwise manipulate global state in, say, a dialog script for a game engine, though? You probably don't. You probably don't want them to be able to do lots of things. Hence the standard library lacking most things.

Yes, having a package manager might solve some issues, but not for any of Lua's primary use cases. It's not supposed to be the language you write your web app in, or a shell script replacement, or whatever else, and the language developers really don't care about those use cases. It's not supposed to be anything out of the box aside from some syntax and semantics that are Turing-complete and reasonably usable.

Where I've seen Lua used, often even the existing standard library is modified or not used at all due to constraints from the embedding program. What point is a package manager if you can't use most of the packages in many environments? This isn't just embedded ones - this is on the desktop as well.

If you're looking for something more capable out-of-the-box, I'd go for embedding Python or Ruby. Lua simply serves a different niche.

Twitter is a medium at the forefront of democracy movements worldwide.

On the other hand, I'm hopeful these stupid decisions lead to a new generation of US policy makers who will learn something from their bosses mistakes.

There are also many positive ways to manage an extended network of friends - ie. the people you don't see on a day-to-day basis.

For example, I definitely don't abuse my social network and groom it on a regular basis, both public and private feeds and profiles. My LinkedIn account has "only" 83 connections and my Facebook has 143. Yes, I know every single one of them. Facebook in particular has allowed me to connect with my extended family overseas so I put a lot of value into each of my posts on there, even if others choose not to. Sometimes I even translate my own posts for the sake of my non-English speaking family so as to guarantee the furthest reach of my social broadcasts.

Everyone is always happy when I reach out to them, even if it's only once a year on Facebook. I also try not to do it on the day of their birthday, on holidays, or on any special day per say as it amplifies the gesture.

I think that this is truly interesting and it's relevant since the world of gaming, computation and informatics are man driven and we need equality.

She makes a great exposition showing some of the problems that she, as a woman, has to deal to express her point of view.

The most significant part I guess it's the end when she says it's necessary believe when a woman says what she thinks/feels/suffers. And it's true that people try to stigmatize the "gamer girl", the "geek girl" accusing of faking it. And when a woman is treated badly is accused again of faking. The victim being victimized.

For the other part, I don't share the vision in general of the Anita about gaming, though a change would be good, but I don't know.
