All of these projects have been underway for quite some time. Indeed, Open-Transactions is almost as old as bitcoin itself.

Nevertheless, my (highly biased) opinion is that Blockstream is worth paying attention to because unlike the above mentioned projects we are adding new functionality by extending bitcoin itself, thereby decreasing fragmentation and lowering startup costs for new ventures.
Exactly! Thanks for understanding dude!
For one, this company has all of the smartest people.
I've come to the conclusion that when you can get your code running and producing errors (javascript) in less time than it takes to compile to see the type errors (scala) the benefits of types seem a lot less persuasive.

Anything that adds an extra step to the workflow can diminish the benefit of types, so if you were to do a TypeScript vs JavaScript comparison, you'd have to decide whether you wanted the comparison to include the extra time that TypeScript adds into your iteration flow or make a fake build step for vanilla javascript that slows things down. Maybe es6 transpiled to es5 vs TypeScript would be fair.
I had this feeling of going back with Lion, when they removed the scroll bars.

It might look great, and I agree it's pretty slick and much more à la page if you will, but it's much less usable. Windows 8 looks so much better than 7 [1], but it's a train wreck in terms of discoverability and usability.

[1] one might argue that this flat UI trend originated at Microsoft that Apple is copying them and that some of the things Microsoft is doing now look much better than their Apple counterpart especially on mobile. I can't comment on usability, because I haven't tried either.
Hi Colin, it that really the case though?

Looking at the commit log history [1] - there's plenty of commits with the word "sponsor" in it, as far back as 1996.

(Off topic, I have crazy respect for you btw)

The other part of this class is JOS, which is the other operating system from 6.828. xv6 is provided mostly complete while JOS has holes missing which students complete. You can find the labs where students complete the operating system online, and I'm sure you can probably find the source as well (though it's not officially provided like xv6).

So your main selling points versus the competition is lack of wires and ease of use?

Would you agree if you're not bothered by wires or complexity a pair of active noise cancelling canalphones with Comply tips will outperform Hush by a wide margin?
I was not aware of those paths. I give up.

At least she used a fairly recent version Visual Studio...
Fair enough.

Arguments about marketing aside, the 'Hush' and the 'Gun Sport Pro' have very different capabilities and serve different functions and markets.

It's too easy when you see a new product to point to something similar and say 'Meh--nothing new here'. In this case I think there's real innovation and I responded to your post to try to make that point.

C9 has a lot of different types of content. Forcing everything down to 5 minutes would cut them off at the knees. Certain types of content just take longer, like the "The Future of C#" (6.0) stuff, there's just a lot of content to cover...

You cannot really compare it to business marketing videos where they're only trying to deliver the core features of the product and little else. These videos actually have legitimate content, and when some of them are 1.5 hrs long it has to be broken up by some small talk/banter, etc.

Personally I just want quality content. That content could be 5 minutes or 35 minutes, I often just leave it on in the "background" (to the side) while I am working on other stuff anyway.

My experiences with the Crazyflie come from a newbie's perspective since it's my first (nano) quad-copter.

There isn't any autopilot with the Crazyflie, but it does come with an Xbox/PS3 key mapping that that lets you control the quad. I learned this the long way, but you have to take extraordinary amount of precision when building it to make sure, the battery is centered, the propellers are balanced, and there is minimal vibrations (messes with the gyros). This is mainly because it's a nano-copter so these variables add up to a lot and you'll struggle with flying.

TIP: Map the XYAB keys to change the pitch/roll so when you hover, you can trim it inflight.

The python code is a bit raw and seems a bit hacky imo (they still update the software, so it's getting better). I learned how to use it from the examples which were good enough.

It's a ton of fun though because you get to muck about with anything that you want since it's made to be hackable. The downside however is that the price is pretty steep.
Ye, MobilePay is pretty solid among people in Denmark, and there's even the competitor (competitor is a nice word, considering i've never heard of anyone with it) Swipp.
OK, maybe "never" is a bit of a stretch. "Very rarely, even by people whom I knew were getting paid by their employers to spend 100% of their time working on FreeBSD"?
This inspires me to give FreeBSD another shot. I haven't used it in a few years in favor of CentOS.

There was a point I had my laptop running FreeBSD as my main OS.

1) why are you singling out girls?
2) I was under the impression most of the minors sharing lewd photos on snapchat were sharing them with other minors. Sexuality in adolescents is pretty normal and healthy from my own experience and what I've read. The medium is fresh but afaik the behavior isn't. Therefore, I think "abuse" is hardly the appropriate word.

If you're insinuating that predators are using this software and snapchat is somehow protecting them, they've been pretty clear about cooperating with law enforcement in the past: http://blog.snapchat.com/post/64036804085/who-can-view-my-sn...

I don't use the app, I think it's silly, but lots of my peers (20somethings) do and have been of age since the app existed. It's not built on abusing underage girls. It's a low friction sharing platform. Blaming the users' behavior/content choices on the platform seems asinine.
I recently started to bring my laptop when travelling on the subway. It’s very nice to see that one can actually make progress (albeit slowly) on a project even with just 50 minutes a day (or less). 'patio11 inspired me :)
I've got two kinds of custom earplugs (different materials). Both literally have a perfect fit for my ears. Both suck to sleep in. Horrible if you're a side-sleeper, but even if your not, I find that by half-way through the night my ears don't want anything in them anymore.

The idea is great, but I think that many will find that having plugs in your ears all night is not comfortable.
LOL yes, the poor poor kids and parents in PALO ALTO really could benefit from this!!!
You missed the "Government and Ulbricht agree" part.
So you had to build a few deps, who hasn't had to do that?

I recall having to build a largish dependency tree to get a recent version of Gtk2 running on Solaris10, from Glib2, atk, cairo all the way up.

That's life.
An anecdote: at least when I was growing up, I didn't notice anyone under 18 with a debit card; most people used cash for purchases or borrowed credit cards from their parents when they wanted to go shopping on the weekend.

That said, I don't know if there are regulations here in the US concerning debit card age requirements, but from a cursory glance of a few US banks, it looks like children under 18 are allowed to get a checking account (and hence, a debit card) provided that they get a joint account with their parents. Perhaps the policy is different for teenagers who wish to separate finances from their parents for whatever reasons, but those are edge cases.

Sigh. It took Apple a month to release a relatively small and minor incremental update to an OS they launched over a month ago riddled with bugs and UI inconsistencies and issues.

This update is meant to address the wifi issues of intermittent connections, weak connections, constant dropouts and lost packets. Installing the update has not fixed the wifi issues and some Googling/Apple forums proves this. I have resorted to using my Dell laptop more than my Mac because the wifi issues have been too much to bear.

Apple used to be about quality. Mavericks was a fantastic operating system I had no such issues with. What are Apple doing over there? This is what happens when you put an industrial designer in charge of your software.
Are the batteries going to be replaceable? I worry when the battery ages it won't last through the night. At 10 hours of charge maximum, if the battery loses just 20% of its max capacity, I would run risk of the battery not making it through the night.

I wouldn't quite say "outperform" as I'm not aware of noise cancelling+foam tipped IEM's that are comfortable. Someone could very well make their own app to have the same software features as us, use a very comfortable foam tipped iem and have a very similar experience if they don't care about the wires! I do agree with that!
"Dash" comes to mind. In cars, people in the U.S. would say, "Throw it on the dash," or "Put it on the dash," meaning "Put it on top of the dashboard." The "it" might be a a map or some kind of parking tag or whatever needed to be in-reach or easily visible.

There are a lot of variants on this design out there, I had seen 'bam' but not the Spotify implementation. An additional constraint we had that I didn't allude to in the post was avoiding JNI, which adds some nasty failure modes for remote installations that can be very hard to debug. This meant any C implementation was off-limits for us.

It's unfortunate that using the JVM means that some wheels need to be reinvented, but those are the breaks, I guess.
It's a pretty standard procedure i've been told.

There will be one! Although there's only a single video (the introduction) - everything else is text or an interactive program. The intro video is being fed to our translators/transcribers now and should be up soon!

Oh - and as a comparison to the MIT course, probably the biggest differences is that (upon a quick review): There are no lectures and no textbooks. Everything is available online and there are tons of interactive projects to complete.

Edit: If you are interested in providing transcription or translation of the single video this is where you can help! http://www.amara.org/en/videos/muCpy2w3ZIH5/info/what-is-an-... Thanks for the offer :)

There is only one video, everything else is in article format, with embedded diagrams and visualizations.

From looking at the video list (http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/electrical-engineering-and-comput...), that one looks like it focuses a lot on data structures - which we don't talk much about, at least not in what we've released so far. The professors hope to add more over the coming months.

Does anyone drink milk daily? I once tried switching to chocolate milk to get rid of my addiction to Pepsi. It was going great, until about a week later, where I was having BM problems.. constipation. Then I remembered my schooling, and figured out that the milk was causing it. Today, I have accepted my addiction and just drink Pepsi :)

They really know the hardware/manufacturing side. You'll get a good lock from them. It's standards based, and those standards (e.g. z-wave) take into account power requirements, meshes, and security. I worked on their web app, Nexia, some time ago, and because it's standards based you can also DIY with their locks and something like Mi Casa Verde.
Civil forfeiture does not require a criminal conviction of the owner of the property. Most importantly, in civil forfeiture it's not the owner who is on trial, it's the property. And unlike criminal law which works on the premise of presumption of innocence and requirements of proof of guilt "beyond reasonable doubt", asset forfeiture works based on civil law and the standard of "preponderance of evidence" (or a >50% probability of guilt).
It looks like Oz [1] declarative variables could help implement a lot of this stuff. Essentially, its variables are pointers that can be assigned to only once. As such you can pass an unbound variable to a function and have it bound to produce a result.

You can also do "unification" between two variables, meaning that it will try to make the two variables equal to each other. Typically, one or both of the two variables hold a partial data structure - a data structure that references unbound variables - and it will binds some of these variables to make the unified variables compatible, if possible.

Sure, and Windows is much the same wrt bundling. The tradeoff is that now you've multiplied the responsibility of library updates across everyone that bundled it. You probably won't care if simple library version updates are missed, if the app itself doesn't care. You might care more about bugs that require every app to update, especially if it's a security bug.

Precisely, in a way.
You can get rid of the need for close time synchronization by having it accept 3 possible values: next hour, this hour, last hour. Then there is no problem if one is a minute ahead of another.

Furthermore the idea of issuing one key and accepting multiple others should be allowed in the TicketKeyFile. As should picking up changes in the TicketKeyFile on the fly. And now key rotation is something people can set up for themselves on any schedule that they want, in any way that they want.

But a better solution for the article's problems is to combine the two approaches. Have the server save session ID/key. Now information about the key used by one session does not help you get into another one. And access to the cache on the server cannot be used to read the contents of any session.

As an aside, I am somewhat disappointed that the documentation in 2014 for http://httpd.apache.org/docs/trunk/mod/mod_ssl.html#sslsessi... recommends a solution that would force you to run your site on one server. I have been using Apache off and on since the late 90s. Other than development machines, I haven't seen an Apache site that wasn't load balanced.
