> Eventually, one side sees enough body bags (or simply runs out of draft-eligible men) and disengages.

That seems to me to be quite an oversimplification of what wins wars. Every war tech has had edge cases that motivated adversaries managed to overcome.

For example, despite the Vietcong's gross disadvantage in terms of technology, it's leaders managed to force over time the US's withdrawal. We didn't run out of men. We ran out of political will. The battle over political will is vastly different than the battle to save and destroy men. The Vietcong eventually came to realize this and optimized their strategy around it, and none of our horrific technological marvels could defeat that tailored strategy.

In fact, if you're just looking at body count, the North Vietnamese should have lost before we withdrew. We optimized around body counts but were unable to attain our military goals. These days, men won and lost are, if not the least of our concerns, are definitely not the most.
Nope. The government derives most of its tax base from various income-based taxes (corporate and personal), or property and use taxes at the state and local level. Only anonymous entities would be able to avoid these, Bitcoin or no. It would be hard to organize significant non-digital economic activity through anonymous entities in the face of government interference, and trivial for a government to mount that interference. Some possible mechanisms include forbidding all brick and mortar + other non-anonymous entities from interacting with anonymous ones, infiltration, etc.

TL;DR: Bitcoin does not enable The Diamond Age.
I always cover my ass and being as I don't want to get sued I make sure to get reports of stories from multiple sources and research things heavily before I move.
They still make mainframes. They sold off everything hardware wise except for that. Per the article they signed an 10 year agreement with GF to supply POWER chips.

IBM is a software, service, SAAS, PAAS, and consulting company based on their website.
I think they're betting on software and mostly on "cognitive computing" and watson. And they're focusing on that, leaving aside businesses that won't really give them a competitive advantage, like their fab.

If they can achieve what they promise, they'll regain their place in the history books.
"It’s been just about two months since FOBO launched its local marketplace app for consumer electronics. But already, the app has proven wildly successful in its home market of San Francisco, where it’s pushing a $1 million run rate and spreading just by word-of-mouth."

http://techcrunch.com/2014/03/16/fobo-video/

The kicker? The article was posted seven months ago. It shows that "proven wildly successful" can still mean your startup dies in half a year.

This was posted on HN a little while ago. It gives some great insight into their process : http://www.openbsd.org/papers/dev-sw-hostile-env.html

Summary: Basically, the development process for OpenBSD is the same as stomach acid. To survive this environment is an exercise in code correctness. I.E. It's designed to break things that aren't up to par. The end result is a platform that doesn't sacrifice stability and security (the two often are two sides of the same coin) for the sake of compatibility.
I think you're greatly underestimating how large and successful IBM is. IBM is enormous in enterprise IT software and services. You just don't hear about it on places like HN where the focus is on consumer/startup stuff.

That might depend on whether they learnt anything from the Apple Maps debacle. They might approach something like that much more tactfully the next time they try it.

With the right expertise on the team and some decent exposure to real users prior to the wide release, they may be able to deliver something that people enjoy using. The micro-features that delight users are something that Apple has traditionally done well, and are also the type of thing that go a long way in a product like a search engine.

> It's invariably cheaper to go online and book through an aggregator.

Depends on the country. In less-developed places, proprietors of smaller hotels pay relatively large fees (think 25%) to online booking services. If you are already staying there, they will probably give you more days at whatever rate you're already paying, or even less (because it's less work for them to manage longer-term stays, and/or they may not be fully booked).

This happens when you deal with people who charge you based on their margins rather than your consumer surplus.

>The most blatant violation is the all too necessary, but aptly named, unsafePerformIO

The only time it's necessary is when you're using the FFI or working with language internals, at which point there's really no way for the type checker to work anyway.

One should avoid using exceptions in pure code. This is well established. Instead, use any of the many type-safe exception mechanisms, like Maybe or Either. Having written probably in the high thousands or low tens of thousands of LoC of Haskell, I've never once used a user-defined exception or undefined.

The point of this article seems to be "If your code breaks, it's no longer type safe.". I don't think this is news to anyone.
I think you misunderstand me. The sides can have different thresholds for "too many body bags." The american threshold was lower, because the americans weren't fighting in defense of their homeland. Had the war been a purely financial expense for the US, they would have stuck around for much longer.
I took some shots of Jaquard looms in operation outside Beijing in 1984. Everybody was supposed to marvel at the silk fabric but I was fascinated by the belts of cards. Everybody treated me like a loon (not loom) for appreciating the ancient hardware. The looms had clearly been shipped from Europe by the French labeling on the metal parts.

I wonder if the equipment you saw in Hanoi passed through China on its way.

PCs and servers have never been a core IBM product. Their core product is the same as it's always been: enterprise consulting, and mainframes. Enterprise consulting is the biggest part now, although mainframes have long been effectively subsumed into that anyway (renting a mainframe is just part of a solution package).
Considering I look at his face in the mirror every morning when I get up, I feel like that trust is justified.

To be fair, all of the codes use sqrt, so if you're going to do clever hand-optimizing in the C version, then you should do the same in the other ones too.
One reason why Air Asia is cheaper in MYR is because it's a Malaysian company, so they don't take foreign exchange risk nor pay bank fees when selling to you in ringgit.

For even more fun, try buying KTM (Malaysian rail) tickets in MYR vs. e.g. SGD. They will charge you the same numeric price, ignoring the exchange rate of about 2.5:1. This works much the same as the airlines pricing by sales region.

Gamergate and Bullying
from the article

"The one other thing that people are really underestimating is the impact of entertainment-industry economics applied to education. Right now, with MOOCS,11 the production values are pretty low: You’ll film the professor in the classroom. But let’s just project forward. In ten years, what if we had Math 101 online, and what if it was well regarded and you got fully accredited and certified? What if we knew that we were going to have a million students per semester? And what if we knew that they were going to be paying $100 per student, right? What if we knew that we’d have $100 million of revenue from that course per semester? What production budget would we be willing to field in order to have that course?

You could hire James Cameron to do it.

You could literally hire James Cameron to make Math 101. Or how about, let’s study the wars of the Roman Empire by actually having a VR [virtual reality] experience walking around the battlefield, and then like flying above the battlefield. And actually the whole course is looking and saying, “Here’s all the maneuvering that took place.” Or how about re-creating original Shakespeare plays in the Globe Theatre?"

-------------------------------

So @pmarca why not fund James Cameron then?
Could you expand on why you think the next "great thing" will be more like ML than like Haskell?

Lessons from the Last Time Civilization Collapsed
Well judging from the description, "native" actually means writing it in RPython (a "restricted" Python with types for use in the PyPy Project for static analysis and speeding things up[0]) and then compiling it down using PyPy (I am guessing on the second part). That could be neat, the HyLang people (Lisp written in vanilla CPython Python; I think no C extensions AFAIK).

This guy just re-invented Chaum's DigiCash. DigiCash is a centrally-issued but privately transferable digital currency from the 1990s. Bitcoin is DigiCash with distributed issuers ("mining").
Programmatic media buying in an open exchange model is vulnerable to this kind of attack vector, and the number of malvertisers is growing day by day. The ad industry needs to be quicker at adopting the private marketplace model in order to mandate a bit more transparency between the buyer and seller.

The OP article was a bit alarmist with the hackers singling out defense contractors. I think the real intent of the hackers/malvertisers is this:

>Invincea recently saw a malvertiser win a bid and delivered a Java exploit. This exploit copied a fully
functional version of Chrome into the Java cache directory, and that version of Chrome launched in the
background and proceeded to visit websites and click on specific ad banners. It is presumed that these
ad banners paid revenue via referral bonuses to the malvertiser. By paying 65 cents to install a
background web browser that does nothing but click fraud, the malvertiser is able to reap hundreds if not
thousands of dollars in advertising referral income. It is a pretty good return on investment, which in turn
allows the malvertiser to fund his micro-targeted malvertising attack campaign.

Just like Email several years ago, there's just too much accessibility and money out there for spammers and malvertisers to not jump to Display.
Probably it depends where you come from. If you always spend time on MacFans kind of forums, then yeah, I guess the HN crowd can sound pretty negative to Apple. But in comparison with other stories out there on HN, I feel Apple always gets away with better feedback no matter what they do.
Are you talking the Chrome omnibar suggestions, or google.com search bar? I'm not sure the difference matters. Anyway, a thoughtful person can probably tell that means their partial queries are being sent to Google ("knowledge that it's happening", as I said above), and adjust it if that bothers them.

With this Safari thing, it sounds like your queries are silently sent to Apple, in addition to Google or whoever your preferred search engine is. So, not only are they being sent somewhere without explicit consent, they are sent somewhere other than the place you explicitly consented to, in a way you won't see unless you dig into config dialogs/manuals and/or packet sniffers. Am I factually wrong on how this behavior works?

Am I being too flexible in ethical gymnastics to avoid condemning Google, while condemning Apple? It was hard to articulate the difference, so frankly maybe it's just that I like Google more. But I think it's fair to say that for me personally, Google Instant is more transparent and fair than how this Apple behavior sounds.

Also, to be honest, I haven't used Yosemite. I don't know if that invalidates my opinion. Maybe I should at least not form an opinion in this flame-fest of half-baked arguments from both sides.

This is a lisp engine written in python - RPython, to be precise.

It literally compiles the lisp code into python bytecode, which is pretty neat - sort of like clojure is for the JVM.

https://github.com/pixie-lang/pixie/blob/master/pixie/vm/com...

Perhaps not magical, but I like the effort (though lisp-as-shell has to contend with emacs first).
Velocity.js Codepen collection
I found this part interesting: "F4 currently stores over 65PB of logical data and saves over 53PB of storage."

It looks like most of the savings here is due to optimization of the replication level of storage, according to the usage patterns of the data.

Also found it interesting that it doesn't talk about CDN usage.
Really? If a high school student couldn't, they'd fail basic mathematics. Of course you'd have to look up the current exchange rate, but that goes for all currency conversion. Having to look up an exchange rate is part of the process of currency conversion.
The quote marks around 'subordinate', to me, are intended to indicate that the status that the relationship entails on the surface does not hold where it matters. The lawyers are not really subordinate to the managers and are able to extract more value from management than the managers are able to extract from the lawyers. If this dynamic persists long enough, then, like the Janissaries of Ottoman fame, the subordinates eventually find themselves the masters.

Singularity University gives a talk at Google
It depends on what you're worried about as to why you would choose drop vs. reject

If you scan only that specific port, a DROP will make the IP address appear unused - so if you're worried about someone scanning purely for port 22 and not anything else, a drop is the better choice.

(See: nmap an unused IP address with -P0 to ignore the fact there's no icmp response to show the host is alive, and you get a 'filtered')

If you're worried about people that are specifically trying to find see if a service is running on your specific server, a reject + reset might be the better choice.

That systemd is tightly coupled is a valid objection, but "single process" has a specific meaning in this context and it implies a much worse design, with every component potentially taking down PID1. As far as I know, this is not the case in systemd.
> Eventually, one side sees enough body bags (or simply runs out of draft-eligible men) and disengages.

More accurately, eventually one side perceives the cost of continuing as outweighing the expected benefits. Battlefield casualties are usually a significant factor in generating that perception, but other costs are also often factors, and more importantly shifting perception of what can actually be achieved by continuing the war is usually a factor.

> There will be no flag-draped coffins to discourage a nation with a fully automated army.

Only true if the other side exclusively targets the automated army. Which is one reason that won't happen.

@pmarca doesn't have the skills to back Jim Cameron. You would need a Warner Brothers/HBO in conjunction etc to back creative artists. Education is a story telling business which may or may not have software at the core.

However, he could back the Warner Brothers equivalent in education who would go onto then back Jim Cameron.

Brazil's major airline, TAM, has a nice little trick of their own to fend off the OP's advice.

Even if you use TAM's Brazilian portal where you have to navigate in Portuguese, and even if you use it from within Brazil, you won't get the Brazilian price. As a foreigner, you'll have to pay up to 50% more.

What's their little trick? They demand that you enter your CPF number, a Brazilian national identity number, to buy from the Brazilian portal for exactly the same ticket. And you can't make one up, or use the CPF number of a Brazilian friend, because they query a government database to verify that the CPF number matches the purchaser's name.

It's discussed in more detail here:

http://brazilsense.com/index.php?title=Booking_a_domestic_fl...

The CPF number, by the way, is absolutely not a government requirement. Anyone can buy a ticket at a travel agency in Brazil or at the airport without a CPF number. This is either the height of incompetent website design by TAM, or more likely, their price discrimination technique to charge more from foreigners.
I believe that list is for fabs who can supply the DoD with custom/proprietary chips (i.e. with business models similar to TSMC or Samsung but for defense related products). Intel has not been in that line of business so there is no point in joining the program.

It is too volatile right now.. I have seen it drop from 1k to 400 in a relatively very short period of time.
Plus, it has issues in India. There aren't any good exchanges (any more) here.
What's the chance that:

1. You get a fuel leak in the engine bay while driving.
2. There is not already another safety system detecting this.
3. The driver actually notices this while driving.
4. The driver decides to take action by turning off the key, without stopping the car first?!
5. For the scenario to be dangerous we are also assuming this leak is severe enough to eventually cause ignition and catch fire.

This is like taken from a b-grade action movie and doesn't happen. Any scenario i can think of where you would require an emergency shutdown you would also want to get the hell out of the car asap. You could also imagine that things like cruise control "get jammed" but i find that extremely unlikely since software doesn't have the same wear and tear as mechanical components and sensors. Worst worse case you can always stop the car use the mechanical brakes or gearbox since those have more power than the engine. Unless we are talking about brake by wire or similar but those have _completetely_ different safety standards, there is also a reason those are not on the market yet.
