I think part of the problem is that if we restrict the usage of the term FRP to only include Elliott's work, then there is a void currently as to how to characterize all these derivative forms, and not many are offering an alternative classification.

This is why I appreciated Evan's talk in attaching labels to different portions of the space.

I agree that Bitcoin does not have the ability to replace the day-to-day currencies that most of us use for food and shelter.

I think the general currency or commodity aspects are of less importance than the public ledger.

It's a kind of currency that's main use is in being able to write to a public data store. The most basic data that is stored is value transactions but anything could be stored.

You should really think about it in terms of the kinds of incentives that drive our information economy.

Take a look at Twitter. It operates as a sort of public broadcast medium yet the way that it stores and retrieves leads to vast information asymmetries. Information asymmetries lead to economic asymmetries. Such infrastructure is very costly to operate and leads to perverse incentives to monetize. The information economic model is flawed.

Bitcoin was developed from the ground up with a functional information economic model, regardless of the political expectations of the developers.
"you can't expect to avoid consequences because you were operating without a knowledge of the law"

Are you serious? I can't expect to avoid consequences for the crazy laws that get passed in other countries?

I won't stand in front of any judges of your backwards country, I have enough with my own.
Yes, they have tools for that these days.

Web developer. I've done some of my best work as prototypes and internal proof-of-concepts. Would love to do something related to energy efficiency, transport, or sustainability.
But the article is from 2010.
She's worked on hard problems before. No matter the type of problem, I impute an advantage to that person in other hard activities, even if they're unrelated. E.g. I believe that someone who earned a Harvard mathematics PhD to be more likely than the average person to be able to earn a Yale Microbiology degree.

As for working at NASA, she was doing hard science research on a type of spectrography, for which she was given multiple awards by NASA Ames Rearch Center. So yes, I do consider the multitude of indications of her intelligence to be directly relevant.

This negativity reeks of "she's not part of our West Coast club" and people with no knowledge of the technology are making blanket assertions that its impossible. That's wrong.

If this company had a valley pedigree and a male founder, I'm sure I'd be reading all about the amazing self-charging forthcoming revolution.
Let me guess the VC was a MBA (and probably not even a decent one at that) and not a graduate from a hard science.

I wonder if there is an opening for a common sense consultant in silicon roundabout I could probably double up as a HR consultant

Addiction is not all fun.

We can't say all the harm from drug use is because of the illegality. Look at the carnage caused by alcohol. (At least, in the UK.)
Reyk also said that people could write papers on Nginx's http implementation because it's crazy how well optimized it is. There's a BSDNow.tv interview he brings this up and talks more about the change away from Nginx.
Hindsight? Grandparent told the VC that it was impossible before they decided to invest tons of money in it.

How could they have known? Acknowledging the special theory of relativity would have been a good start. It's not like they were a bunch of alchemists in the middle ages only having various mystical interpretations of the world to work from.
You omitted the last line of that exchange, which I think is the most interesting:

> GATES: That was on the other side of that boundary. The young mind can deal with certain kinds of gooping around that I don't think at this age I could. I don't think you're as capable of handling lack of sleep or whatever challenges you throw at your body as you get older. However, I never missed a day of work.

Or, autopatching of security patches without human intervention. This stuff isn't that hard too figure out. The Drupal community needs to stop pretending that its 1996 anymore and start taking security seriously. I think the CMS world needs a Microsoft circa 1999 moment.

No, they can't. Licenses are based on copyright law. The copyright holder may set terms under which the content they hold a copyright on may be copied and distributed. This is what a license is all about. Copyright does not apply to names of projects, titles of books, etc. Only to the content itself.

The use of the name, by itself, is not and cannot be protected by a license. This is the domain of trademarks, which few of these projects would have, because trademarks must be registered and paid for. But that's probably not the issue here. The real issue is that the site seems to imply a business relationship with various projects and contributors that does not actually exist. Likely, this is enough to bring action if it comes to that.

Also, to address a point of confusion in this discussion: The no-promotion provisions in the BSD license and similar only applies to derivative software, which would be use under the license. The author can place restrictions on promotion of derivative works only because the licensee is actually copying and distributing the code under license and the license is the only thing that would give him the right to do so.

Are we really discussing whether someone should be held accountable for the actions of others?

Like, I create an account for you without your knowledge and I send you to jail? Sounds like a useful app, but scary in the wrong hands.
This is not OpenBSD's fault. It's VMWare's limitation in their vSwitch that by default disables broadcast traffic.

XenServer has it worse -- no option to turn it on at all.
and streams are..

(define-syntax scons
(syntax-rules ()
((_ x expr) (cons x (delay expr)))))

(define scar car)

(define (scdr xs) (force (cdr xs)))

(define snull? null?)

and filter for streams is, OMG..

(define (sfilter f xs)
(cond ((snull? xs) '())
((f (scar xs)) (scons (scar xs)
(sfilter f (scdr xs))))
(else (sfilter f (scdr xs)))))

and of course..

(define (smap f xs)
(if (snull? xs)
'()
(scons (f (scar xs))
(smap f (scdr xs)))))

It's interesting to me that the author has photos on multiple devices. I sync mine to my PC, where they get placed in folders named yyyy.mm.dd - [location/event]. Since my kid was born I started adding folders named yyyy.mm, which contain the day-to-day photos for a month.

Given that I've been doing this ever since I started amassing digital photos, and that the author doesn't, and that her NY Times post is on HN, I have to wonder what others do with their photos.
Thank you for taking the time to post this enlightening rebuttal.
I'm just letting him know that the thing he envisions for the future already exists. We just have to convince browser vendors to embrace it.
The Marissa Mayer who... turned Yahoo around financially, increased employee job seekers by over five hundred percent, cleaned up the companies' brand, and competently managed an enterprise neither you nor I would have the first clue how to run? That Marissa Mayer? Yeah, her.
I think it's fair to say that the vocal majority of BitCoiners have a very naive view of some basic economic concepts.
You can write a function for it using ?'s being generated inside your code only. Its perfectly safe to do it that want and allows you to bind parameters.

The only explanation for not doing that is ignorance and/or incompetence. Mistakes happen but to claim its a language problem is incorrect.

http://php.net/manual/en/pdostatement.bindparam.php

<?php
/* Execute a prepared statement by binding PHP variables */
$calories = 150;
$colour = 'red';
$sth = $dbh->prepare('SELECT name, colour, calories
FROM fruit
WHERE calories < ? AND colour = ?');
$sth->bindParam(1, $calories, PDO::PARAM_INT);
$sth->bindParam(2, $colour, PDO::PARAM_STR, 12);
$sth->execute();
?>

So what you do is you write a function to convert the array to a series of ?'s for the IN clause/tuple and then iterate through the array to bind the parameters.
I guess the aspect you aren't addressing is that people feel like a listing on the site creates an association between the site and their project (quoting from the bug report I do not want to be associated with this kind of thing.).

You can disagree about whether the listing implies an association and disagree that such an association is a bad thing, but it should be clear enough that there are people who do think it creates an association and that they do not want that appearance.
Webs - Washington, DC

Webs helps small and micro businesses find new customers. We build tools that let brand-new foodtrucks or self-employed crafters create beautiful websites, online stores, and social media profiles.

You can read http://webs.com/careers to learn more about our culture and benefits, or email me at adam@webs.com with questions.

We've been around for ten years and have tens of millions of users. Plus we're ambitious about the design tools we give our users. So we work on some fun projects:

- Build a WYSIWYG web page editor that runs fast in the user's browser.

- Take full-size webpages and automatically convert them to responsive sites, intelligently preserving as much of the arbitrary user styling as possible.

- Replace a complex, overburdened rendering pipeline with a scalable architecture using distributed actors.

Right now we're looking for a few key positions:

- Rails developer (interest in frontend and product development a plus)

- Frontend developer (interest in React.js a plus)

- Experienced Java developer (Spring/Hibernate a plus)

- SEO manager (possession of Google crystal ball a plus)
I don't think you're using the term "devops" very well.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DevOps

Are you asking if OpenBSD is part of people's workflow, or if it is part of their permanent infrastructure?
I can't see how this would be efficient enough to charge a phone. Does anyone have a rough idea of what the end to end efficiency of this system would be?

Also if it's a beamed technology, does it then need N transmitters to charge N devices? How is the beam targeted?

Seems like a simple inductive charger would be much more practical.
Start with making your website as good as you can, and creating at least 3-5 pieces of high quality content.

After that the easiest thing you can do is to submit links to reddit, g+ and fb communities, stumbleupon, etc. That can give you your first 50-150 visitors. Just be careful not to spam)

Make sure to put subscribe button on your website so that people who read and like your articles/vids would come back.

After that - either just keep creating and sharing cool stuff and grow "organically", or learn SEO and pay for ads to grow faster.

But really there's no cheatcode, just create great stuff that people will love and share.

No, it doesn't. PHP can handle it fine and we've undergone multiple attacks and security audits [both daily automated ones and professionals by hand]. :/

The problem here was a mistake someone made, not a fundamental support problem with the language.

This is precisely why people mock PHP developers. :/ So many don't even understand how the language f'n works.

I installed freebsd on an old laptop (thinkpad t60) because I want to use something simple, very well documented, and with an emphasis on good code. I know OpenBSD takes this further, but I know FreeBSD has more packages/ports available, and I'm interested in playing with ZFS and jails.
It is valuable because it is a shared public data store with equal access read and write privileges. Data stored in it is available, partitionable and eventually consistent. It works due to the economic incentives of being rewarded for validating transactions.

Prior to Bitcoin there were no shared public data stores that satisfied these requirements. Bittorrent and Freenet are not guaranteed to have data availability. That is, you can't always get what you stored. DHTs only work when they are centralized and are susceptible to a number of different attacks when operated with general public access.

The only way to interact with this data store is by being in control of Bitcoin. That is what gives value to the units of account.

He contacted me trough one of my websites and offered me his services. I already knew him before he contacted me ( through his app ) so i offered him to buy out his application that wasn't doing so well.

We made an initial call, I've pitched him several different structures of compensation and let him come up with a price for his app that he was happy with, then struck a deal the following day.

There's a few reasons the reason it got done so quickly, we both had worked with the same people within the niche.

I've also explained to him my strategy upfront to get the app back on the road, so that probably helped.

You just need to find the right match.
You might want to check out Glitch, a programming model that attacks those problems head on with replay and rollback:

http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/people/smcdirm/managedti...

There is nothing in reactive programming that implies being incremental, but glitch does that anyways (in the sense that tasks whose dependencies haven't changed aren't replayed). On the other hand, glitch might replay tasks more than is optimal.

Wow, you sound very confused to me. Your "false expectations" bit is nonsense. Using your logic, kids shouldn't be told to wash their hands before they eat because it creates the "false expectation" that by washing their hands they're getting rid of all harmful germs. (re: They often produce the feeling of understanding without conveying actual understanding (and the limitations thereof)

Reality is complicated and kids already know that. Its just that they're way better than adults at being comfortable with not knowing everything.

> Human brains simply are not designed to understand, at a deep intuitive level, things like the geometry of four-dimensional pseudo-Riemannian manifolds.

"Hey kids ! Lets get real.. you won't understand this stuff at a "deep intuitive level" but please choose physics as a career." - Doesn't sound motivational to me.
Also that they like ramming it down everyone's throats.

It's not functional reactive in the Elliott sense. It is reactive in the general meaning of reactivity, but that is also a spectrum (actors don't work well for UI, for example).

Fair enough. Guess that's why it's here anyway.
