I understand what you're saying. The only problem is what data is in that decentralized, available, secure data store. The only data allowed in is self-referencing data. Most people don't care about the Bitcoin data store. If I could access, say, Gutenberg.org books in that data store, or something of that nature, I and others would find more value in it.

On the other end of that, processing, not data, there are distributed processing projects out there finding the optimal golomb rulers, looking for pulsars, how protein folds etc. There could be value in a distributed project processing these and other projects. All of Bitcoin processing is self-referential though, it does not allow for this potentially more valuable processing.

What you're describing would be valuable, but not if the only data storable is self-referencing. People don't buy 1 terabyte disk drives that already store Bitcoin blockchain history. They pay for hard drives because they will store the information they want to store and retrieve on them.
The first two are incontrovertible facts. If you don't want blunt responses, don't pretend a right to your own facts.

When it comes to reproducibility of experiments beyond a reasonable doubt I feel that it's difficult to place economics up against the physical or hard sciences. People are very hard to understand and control.

The Dog Whisperer: How a British Colonel Altered the Battlefields of World War I
Impressive voice quality.
Well then, functional reactive programming is not incremental, especially implementations based on pull (ie polling). Event stream based systems (like Rx) provides incrementally growing event streams, but that's it. I'm not even sure if they suppress event firing on value streams when a value matching the last comes in.

I mean, it seems like reactive computations should be incremental, ya, but you won't find many (any?) models that deliver on that. On the other hand, you have plenty of incremental models that aren't reactive (eg SAC). Glitch is designed to be reactive and incremental, so it does "replay when something changes" and is able to suppress change propagation if/when a change fizzles out.

> then you could replace any "reactive" program by one which just recomputes its outputs every time something changes, from scratch. Reactive programming solves this by only recomputing parts which change.

I find that to be completely desirable. That behavior is exactly what I want... simply done more efficiently [0].

[0] Also modulo a whole bunch of local state. AFRP handles this well by having a good notion of what it means to "switch an arrow in" but it's been a challenge for applicative/monadic FRP. Rx programming (e.g. "not FRP") tends to solve this problem by ignoring its existence and just littering local state everywhere.
Heh, coding on an iPhone - that doesn't sound comfortable =)

Having said that - you can check out Diet Coda.

Or - you could use some SSH app to SSH into a server and then use any console editor. But without keyboard that sounds crazy)

When you made that comment what was your point? Because it reeks of that dismissive attitude that most people have that stops them from ever trying anything. "There is a bound on everything imposed by the speed of light." "OK. I will get my servers installed in the exchange itself."

Wow, I have fond memories of using WindowMaker. I was really excited to see some recent development with new featuers this past summer (http://windowmaker.org/news.php). I spent a few days with it, I was surprised at some of the defaults. For instance, click to raise isn't enabled by default. That's probably how I used it all those years ago. Anyway, I agree it's lovely. The main things I was missing were modern looking applets (but the Wolfenstein-face CPU monitor is classic), and also better compositor integration (for stuff like expose-style window switching).
I never said it was a problem with the language. I said it was poorly supported in a lot of platforms including PHP and I stand by that.

It has nothing to do with passing security audits or withstanding attacks, there's not a security flauw in the way PHP handles this because PHP or specifically the PDO framework relies on the user to implement this themself. There obviously can't be a security flaw in something which does not exist.

A quick Google search suggests it is not at all obvious to many how to do a parametrised query with an IN-clause using PDO. The highest ranking answer is this SO post: http://stackoverflow.com/a/1586650

Having to iterate the array yourself adding the right amount of placeholders and binding individual values is secure but a lot of boilerplate. Escaping values in PHP and concatting them in the old fashioned way ought to be safe but everyone switched to parametrised queries for a reason: in practice it's often fucked up which leads to security vulnerabilities. The last one, the find_in_set trick, is a clever kludge but a kludge nonetheless.

People shouldn't need to roll their own way to do this because that's where unnecessary mistakes get made.
OpenSignal - London, UK (Full time, permanent)

At OpenSignal we're using mobile apps to tap into the smart phones we're all carrying around with us to build up global crowdsourced sensor networks. Our first sensor network is for wireless signal [1] where we are building a global database on the coverage and performance of wireless networks (both mobile + WiFi) on a scale that has never before been possible. Our second sensor network is WeatherSignal [2], which uses the barometers, thermometers and hygrometers on smart phones to crowdsource weather data and we have already published a scientific paper [3] showing the potential of this approach. If the concept of crowdsourced sensor networks appeals to you too then please get in touch. We are hiring for all manner of different roles right not (backend, frontend, UX/UI & data science) but most of all we are just looking for smart, like minded people rather than people with specific, existing skills. We also recently raised our $4million series A [4] from Qualcomm Ventures, O'Reilly Alphatech Ventures & Passion Capital so are growing fast.

Definitely python. I think it is the best language to learn AI, it is simple and has so much great libraries and learning resources!
Show HN: Async Transducers with Promises
So gravity is helpful here in two ways as far as I can see:

* it causes the marbles to warp the sheet
* it causes the marbles to move in a direction that approximates how an object in spacetime will take the shortest routes between two points, taking into account curvature.

The limitations are:

* it's 2d
* the marbles lose energy to friction with the sheet
* the marbles lose energy to the elasticity of the sheet

So the exact orbital paths aren't accurate since they're losing energy. The warped sheet sets up a situation in which the marble's behavior of seeking the lowest energy position (downward) happens to emulate the behavior of objects in space seeking to travel the shortest distance between two points.
Yeah. I noticed people treat DMCA as "don't do anything I don't like with what I'm involved with" law.
A green card is different from a passport. You should be able to become a citizen if you live in a place long enough and pledge allegiance. Incentivizing the wealthy to come live in a place is nothing new, but then they still have to go through the same process of pledging allegiance and living here long enough to become citizens.

I personally believe that there is intrinsic value in just the self-referential nature of Bitcoin transactions but what's important to realize is that the transactional nature of Bitcoin is what allows for the entire system to work, regardless of what is built on top of it.

A basic transaction of "A sent X to Y" might not be as valuable as a poem, but it still has some level of value.

You can already get a visa-for-money from most major first world countries, and after a few years, it is easy enough to make the jump towards citizenship. Is it really that big of a jump to get rid of the time component?

For example:

USA

EB5 investor visa: $1,000,000 or $500,000 depending on the area you 'invest' in. One of the easiest ways to get a green card, and from there, citizenship

UK

Tier 1 investor visa: £1,000,000 in 'investment', which can just be the purchase of government bonds. Apply for indefinate leave to remain (green card equivilant) after 4 years. If you invested £5 million, you only need 3 years. If you invested £10 million, it is down to 2 years. The UK non-domicile tax status can also be very very generous to wealthy expats (unless they are American and thus are taxed on world wide income regardless).

Canada

Canada used to have such a program (Immigrant Investor visa for $800,000 CAD for people with net worths of at least $!.6 million), but that was terminated recently. I believe the Quebec version is still open though
Why would the FBI/NSA bother with that when whoever is doing the auth will probably give them whatever they ask for directly anyways?
Adam Curtis is a fascinating journalist who writes very thought-provoking articles that seem to come entirely from left-of-field.

He has a great understanding of recent history as well.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/adamcurtis

All of those articles are great.
I put readthedocs in the same category because they try to look like the original source of the documentation. They lift the content and style, lock stock and barrel, and then try to rank higher than the actual project's documentation pages.

I have in the past, unwittingly read out-of-date documentation because it looked exactly like the source site, and I didn't pay close attention to the URL.

If they were truly ethical, they would not try to impersonate the original sites. It fails one of the most basic tests for trademark infringement (which is, essentially: "might someone in a hurry mistake it for the real thing?").
Not sure how they missed https://shuddle.us/ - which basically a more vetted uber for kids.

This is a brilliant shift of use for these services, even if it's only used sometimes (gets a little pricey). Way better than collect calling my Mom and leaving my name as "I need a pickup from school" so she could refuse the call. Or waiting for an hour for her to be ready.
As awesome as this may be, I don't expect it to stick around. I highly doubt the right holders in question will look the other way. :(

You'd put the bsd handbooks in second place after the Arch wiki? The FreeBSD handbook seems a lot more impressive and coherent to me, so does the OpenBSD documentation.

The height as a function of position of the elastic sheet is a solution to Poisson's equation, which is the same equation that gives you the (classical) gravitational potential. So the demonstration is an analogue computation that solves the analogous problem in gravity.
I'm using filemedia[0]'s KVM-based offering. It supports custom ISOs (you can open a ticket to get a new ISO uploaded),
so installing OpenBSD (5.4 at the time) was quite easy.
You just have to make sure to use DHCP and not a static IP in the network configuration, otherwise the network stops working a few months later when the DHCP lease expires.

They also have a new Xen (PV or HVM) oferring, but I don't know how well OpenBSD would work with that.

Another possibility is iwStack[1], another KVM-based hosting provider.

Actually, I wouldn't even do the math. For any tech, the question is: does it work (right now)? I beleive people made that mistakes with occulus rift too for example. Does it work? no. It's maybe promising, but it don't work. Period.
Given that the patent followed a prototype, it has to in some way resemble the final tech.

As Schumpeter said: “[e]lectric lighting is no great boon to anyone who has money enough to buy a sufficient number of candles and to pay servants to attend them... The capitalist achievement does not typically consist in providing more silk stockings for queens but in bringing them within the reach of factory girls in return for steadily decreasing amounts of effort."

I think for things like WiFi networks this could help immensely.

Extremely long tail latencies are observed which reach a second or more in those networks when some interference causes loss.

Wondering what HN'ers might be doing to deal with sending and receiving email from Django.

To be clear, I am not talking about handling all email for an organization but rather incoming and outgoing emails relevant to the web app.
