Why are you creating a digital currency and distributing this to Folding@Home participants? What's the point of this? Why would I want FoldingCoins?

Why not collect donations (in usable currency), and give that out to Folding@Home workers?
It shows that long term planning will indeed win out in the long term.

Meaning, if the extremist privatization politicians got their way, the gov't would own zero. But, if the gov't holds the commons in receivership over a very long term, the commons (as the gov't is ours if done well) will still hold a strong position over time.
Well, yes, which is the point. If we don't know how our brains do this intelligencing, then how can we expect any program or machine to do the same? This is a part of the failure of AI research. Can't put the cart before the horse. Well, you can, but it probably won't work.
Sounds like http://primecoin.io/about.php but more widely useful. Good luck @PookTwo!
Yes. We support web components. That doesn't mean we are built with Web Components at the core. The WC specs have a number of design flaws, in my opinion, and they don't work as efficiently as possible with databinding solutions, etc. I can expound more on this in a blog post. But our binding system works fine with Web Components. So, you can import a Web Component and use it inside a view with databinding and even attach additional behaviors to it without any problems.

Web Components are not yet a standard. They are primarily being pushed by Google without taking much feedback from other vendors. I spent almost a year working with building frameworks around them...and decided there was no real advantage to using document.registerElement for an Application Framework.

Again, if you want to build Web Components or use Polymer...that is fine. You can use that with Aurelia. But Aurelia's custom elements aren't built that way.

As a side note, Aurelia will be able to "export" its custom elements to Web Components. So, before we hit v1 you will be able to do that and then take an Aurelia Web Component into a non-Aurelia app and use it, the same way you would use a Polymer element. We haven't done that yet because we are focused on the application experience first and foremost.
I ordered the book, Quantitative Forecasting Methods by Farnum and Stanton (PWS-KENT, 1989). it was only £2.81, sounds like money well spent.
You can see it as a pre-bundled extension, I suppose.

I think the point of pre-bundling it is to get more attention and in that way to promote WebRTC, which is a good goal.

Size-wise, I didn't look at the code but this is likely a tiny extension, it's just a little UI over WebRTC.
Eliminating the government of Israel would require destroying the country of Israel, which would very obviously require killing vast numbers of Israeli citizens.

Feel free to now explain how Iran would wipe out Israel's government, while not killing huge numbers of Israelis.

I don't regard any terrorism as small potatoes, no matter who does it. I think it's unfortunate you hold such a view.

What's my point? My point was obvious: I replied to a parent comment that claimed Iran was moderate. Iran is the exact opposite of moderate, they're an oppressive theocracy that supports terrorism globally. And they're regarded by pretty much every first world country as being a leading State sponsor of terrorism.
The point being that ANSI C compliance required compiler changes.
"First to file" just means that if two patent applications come in at around the same time, there won't be a court case with a bunch of discovery concerning who was working on the actual invention first. Its just the first patent request into the office now. This does not affect prior art. If anything it makes it stronger by preventing the claim that a so called inventor was working on an idea prior to the disclosure of the prior art.

The fact that a two sentence blog post about using a simple 3 way switch to control a microphone is in fact prior art strong enough to bust a potential patent is just a sad, sad commentary on the quality of patents being issued today.
Kingdom support checking in: Yep, it crossed my mind it might be an escaped fault polygon.
I was thinking along those lines too. A 46" high nitrogen tank holds around 125 cubic feet. As a wild guess, if an ATM contains 5 cubic feet of air then you could completely change the air 25 times with one tank. Does that sound reasonable?
This should be done in a bigger way, with founders and startuppers offering their couch like people do in www.couchsurfing.com... It would be more than awesome
Well apparently DREAM (which was a WWIVnet based ANSI group led by Shihear Kallizard) became LTD, or split into LTD and something else.. I was able to find a few of my works for LTD on sixteen colors and they are pretty bad.
In C++, "return 0" from main is actually the default (i.e. you don't need to explicitly return), same in C99.
To think that at some point the web browser was considered a "thin" client :)....
I hate being "that guy", but what about sites like https://appear.in/ that do this without (seemingly?) depending on browser support? Is this using some novel p2p technique that can't be implemented using just JS?

When you send a FF Hello invite to a Chrome user, it works fine.

I.o.w.: why is this not just a website?
I wouldn't mind the downvote but what I can say, you were lucky. Go to Andalucia and ask folks there what they think of Telefonica there.
I find the assumption that girls are less messy than boys kind of naive and stereotypical. I suppose messy is ambiguous, does it mean clean or organized?

I remember living in the dorms my first year of college, and I was amused to note that the average boys dorm room was more organized and the average girls dorm room was cleaner. Of course, that is just my experience.
Startup or not, this is relevant to all jobs in IT. It's your job to educate your employer that you aren't to be taken for granted. Good luck.
That's strange indeed, for a couple of reasons. Even with the most JS heavy apps, 10 seconds is way too long. Most apps take 3-5 seconds for the initial load, gmail is the only app I know to take ~10 seconds. The nice thing about React is that it allows you to generate the template on a node server and send that, so you can cut down the initial load time to a second or two.
I spent four months in a hacker house that was run by two women; for about half of that stay the house was at least half female. Eventually people rotated out and in and the ratio skewed towards being more male, though.
Oh, +1 for merging these cases indeed. Thanks for the info :-)
Something I've repeatedly found useful is that when debugging and you have a conjecture, not only look for evidence that a correlation/causation is present; but also look for evidence that it isn't.

Doing a very quick A/B test helps too.
From my understanding of the WebRTC spec, as long as your TURN/STUN server is trusted (which it is, the CA and relay are both run by Mozilla) it doesn't matter if the network is untrustworthy.

WebRTC by itsself is not MITM resistant
An attacker could alter the amount of points that they receive. It has happened in the past with Folding@home, but they have put measures in place to prevent this from happening again. Although it isnt a guarantee that someone will not find a work around, we would become instantly aware and a patch could be put in place to correct the problem. https://folding.stanford.edu/home/faq/faq-points/#ntoc3

Each core is digitally signed for security reasons and authenticity of a real WU http://folding.stanford.edu/home/faq/#ntoc45
This is why we have [foo, bar, baz, quux] and example.com though: https://www.iana.org/domains/reserved
They might be less likely to do it, though, especially if they have convince the spouse that they should buy a plane ticket to SF.
I should also state that we do use HTML Imports, for view loading, which is part of Web Components and we also use HTML Template Element, which is part of Web Components...and you can optionally use Shadow DOM...which is part of Web Components. What we don't do is use document.registerElement as part of our own custom element implementation because we would give up too much control over critical aspects of binding and resource loading.

So, we use 3/4 of the spec. One of the APIs we don't use...but we will allow you to export your Aurelia elements to a document.register form for v1.

Nope. Last year. Started their service Oct 2013 and left Oct 2014. It maybe area dependent (was in Andalucia) but I heard nothing but bad things about their service from the locals. Manilva (small town) was without internet for 2-3 days during the summer last year and no one in their customer service would even acknowledge it!

I haven't heard of SheetJS before, but now I will definitely look into it! I have recently started using Handsontable though and its absolutely fantastic.
true, but since the only way of making a dent in their income is for more people to stop using their services, the fact that this doesn't happen seems to imply that people who use their services don't really care about their WiFi blocking.
This, however, is just a little UI over WebRTC, an existing feature that is accessible to web content already. Hello doesn't add any significant area for new security attacks.

It's possible your argument could be against adding WebRTC itself, instead of Hello, but the topic here is Hello.
True, they're technically ahead with the FTTH. But if you have their DSL and don't want them to do works in your house to install their FTTH cables and devices which aren't compatible with any other provider, so that if you are unhappy you have to do works again to change ISP, then you're stuck with at most 1 GB of data per month on mobile. FTTH customers have 2 GB but they won't give DSL customers the 2 GB, not even the option to pay for it, because you know, it's obvious that I need to install FTTH in my home if I want my mobile phone to be able to handle such a bandwidth! This tends to be their policy most of the time: if you don't buy their latest and greatest they screw you by not giving you any updates until they convince you to do so (with a long-term contract of course). Oh, and unacknowledge but obvious caps on various direct download websites, P2P, etc. which I guess would go away if I bought their latest and greatest too.

I'm currently with them because my preferred cable provider (R) didn't have coverage in my building a year ago, but now they do have coverage, so I'm probably saying bye-bye to Telefonica soon. Yes, the service is now technically good, even probably the best (FTTH), but who cares if all their policies (the above is just an example but there are lots more) are set to nickel-and-dime the customers, and to sell more and more and more. You can't even do a technical service call without them spamming you and trying to sell you stuff. R doesn't have FTTH but has a much, much better customer service (including automatic improvements in the bandwidth for time to time, without even asking).
John von Neumann was busy dying. Anyway he disapproved of the Newell-Simon work on chess, probably of AI in general.

made me laugh.

When McCarthy had just died I remember a video from a fellow that worked with him somewhere talking about how until the day of his death he had massive amounts of bandwidth piped into his house, and that the fellow wondered what he did with it all, sort of like a mad scientist.

I still wonder sometimes when I think about him. I sort of like to think that he was busting out work towards the 'obstacle' points in this paper 'til the very end.
Shouldn't that be on Apache Mesos NOT Mesosphere?
You people who do such long hours I really don't get you!

The standard 40 is more than enough for me, in-fact too much.

Ideally work 40 hours and then spend those other 20-40 hours on building something for yourself, taking a second job, or just relaxing and enjoyment.

If this is the 'American' way then try emigrating to Europe!

The person I was listening to was not a conservative and pretty much embodied the nightmare a lot of conservatives have about "Net Neutrality". The simpler explanation is that a lot of conservatives really don't trust the FCC to be fair about anything and Title II does give quite a bit of power. It grates me as a small government conservative (for some definition of all those words) that I cannot find a simple example legislation dealing with peering and traffic shaping that would keep Comcast / Verizon from using a natural monopoly to change what buying internet bandwidth means.
srsly, noone ?
Looks great. Do you plan to contribute changes to upstream projects (e.g. Docker for ARM), or open source other parts you have developed?
Looks sweet, but in the FAQ they say they can only host 2 people at a time.. given the amount of interest this seems to be getting, seems like it'll be tough to land a spot.
Looks great.

- Do you plan to contribute changes to upstream projects (e.g. Docker for ARM), or open source other parts you have developed?

- Will you have a pricing model / level that's works for small scale private projects?

Thanks
That's generally true here in the US as well. I guess the distinction is being made in this case because the city data is split into separate jurisdictions and databases... there is no "greater metro area" database for land use and population.
the relevant number is not their net income, but the gains they think they are making by wi-fi blocking.
In this particular case, the Member homepage, there is a lot going on behind the scenes to render that page. Each row is computed with the most recent data possible, to ensure you see information that is pertinent for you. The pause is purely on the server side, not the client downloading assets. We are working on improving this.
We have gone fabless but this hasn't altered the capital equation as much for hardware as one might hope. Chips tend to become 'pad limited' and 'dissipation limited' so there is a limit on what can be done in a certain volume. Some of the more creative stuff isn't about chips, its about interconnects. Which gets us to #2.

The "Internet of Things" isn't really an Internet, the disruption is that everything is a network and yes, Sun had it correct when they said the network is the computer. What you have is a collection of agents which cooperate to achieve a commanded objective. No one cares about 'smart dust' what they care about is the transformative aspects of real time contextual data. The IoT is about creating adapters which convert ambient information into data that can be collectively consumed and processed by computers. A billion barometers on smartphones taking samples of the pressure where they are, combining that with a set of GPS coordinates and transforming ambient data (air pressure at a known point) into a consumable dataset. Which when observed over time can inform on larger processes such as weather fronts. None of that needs "new chips" but it can benefit from easier assembly of existing capabilities.
The counterparty protocol is built inside of the Bitcoin network. All assets (including FLDC) are built on this platform. It houses the assets inside of the Bitcoin network by using the 140 bytes of unused data in every BTC transaction. So everytime you send or receive FLDC, you will notice it shows up in the blockchain as a 0.00006 BTC transaction. This actually represents the Counterparty asset. http://blockscan.com/ is a site that decrypts this information and displays it as the assets, blockchain.info will only see it as a BTC transaction.

So this prevents the double spend, because Counterparty is secured by the BTC miners, so the hashing power of the BTC miners is the same as the Counterparty assets. Only an attack on the Bitcoin network would affect FLDC
> the fact that this doesn't happen seems to imply that people who use their services don't really care about their WiFi blocking.

This projection of supply-and-demand is uncalled for, I think. Maybe it would be valid if a) they were blocking wifi in all their hotels, which it seems that they aren't yet, and b) that consumers know it is the hotel that is blocking the wifi, and not just technology fucking up as usual.

It's not fair to characterize this as a "do nothing, the market has spoken" situation when it's clear that the scenario is not widely present and consumer information is low. The only people talking about this are tech people.
The human brain has about 100 billion neurons. The human genome is 770MB (in .2bit format)... So, we know the genome doesn't have even close to enough information to describe all of the connections within the brain... This means that the brain must be an emergent phenomenon.. There must be some gross structure, or general mechanisms described in the genome and the rest is left to learning...

Andrew Ng at Stanford built the largest neural network to date, with 11.2 billion parameters (which I'm going to take to mean 11.2 billion neurons, as I'm assuming the parameters are the neuron weights)... So we're still pretty far off of human numbers of neurons... In addition, humans have the be bathed in sensory input for years before they begin to show intelligence..
that would require the audience to consist of people who make porn
This is a nice rhetorical argument by assertion, but the field of economics almost universally, left and right and non-partisan, hates all over on the sort of bad economic ideas rayiner is talking about. They went out of style after the economic malaise of the 70s, and economic research since has confirmed what terrible ideas they are. The policies that "were followed by several decades of the most incredible... growth" are most prominently nowdays a feature of backwards, broken South American socialist economies, where feudalism and corruption are far, far more alive than they are in the US.
Absolutely. Someone went in curious, shared their work, provided interesting commentary and it's useful whether followed in detail or skimmed.
Ok well that's not what I expected. It would be cool if the mattress inherently has the alarm, so maybe it can be in the form of temperature change - it gets colder to wake you up or subtle vibration. This more seamless experience than a jarring alarm on the phone.

It's clear from the memo that the FCC considers security risks to be exempt from this requirement.

It sounds like the AP being on your network is what constitutes the security risk. I doubt the FCC would have a problem with a network administrator taking action like that. Unrelated APs are different.
Personal experience is not FUD. I'm not a user, but all I've heard about Telefonica is complaints and grievances. They were also the ISP which forced a caching proxy on its ADSL users, breaking a lot of sites. Granted that was a few years ago.
Yes, there's a distinction between jamming and blocking. The FCC controls what you transmit, not what kind of walls you put up.
2cm below the laptop. That is, 2cm below the top of my thighs. So about 20cm deep or something.
Microwaves are fcc approved and designed to minimize interference.
I think telefonica is running the looper service that helps the peers connect to each other... but I am not sure.
First: great article.

One nit, though. There's a subtle error in the main function:

char* input;
printf("Please input a word: ");
scanf("%s", input);

Local variables are not automatically initialized in C, and we never assign input to point to any particular block of memory. This means it's probably pointing off to some random location - basically whatever address happened to be sitting on the stack when main was called. So when scanf writes the user password to input, it's going to go to some unpredictable location with unpredictable results. This could lead to code execution, or at least a straightforward denial of service.
Would anybody be teaching Shakespeare if you had to pay for it?
I don't view Telefonica being good/bad at running a mobile network as too relevant to this offering. It's a different product running on very different infrastructure. I do think their involvement is a good reason to be cautious, though. Why are Mozilla not running it themselves, and what does Telefonica intend to get out of the service? (large telcos generally don't run free services out of the goodness of their heart)

> Its entirely unnecessary when there is no specific relationship drawn other than vague temporal associations and references to "mindset".

These aren't vague associations, it's about taking the same approaches to solving problems. E.g. rate setting was a technique applied to everything from transportation to telecom, and is a part of Title II. In modern regulation, we avoid rate setting, because they are more distortionary than other approaches.

> Given that most of what Title II is permit the FCC to adopt certain kinds of regulations, and given that most of the exceptions to that that impose direct statutory rules are also expressly subject to forbearance, I don't think there is any real basis to saying anything about what "Title II" will or won't do in general terms, rather than in the context of a particular package of regulations that come along with a Title II determination.

Forebearance doesn't give the FCC unbridled authority. In particular, the FCC has built up a large amount of precedent restricting its own ability to forebear from applying regulations: http://www.forbes.com/sites/haroldfurchtgottroth/2015/01/11/...

Also, the FCC isn't entirely in the driver's seat. Reclassification will be a huge opportunity for consumer protection types to push for rate setting, and the FCC will have to defend why forebearance is appropriate.
Property tax is a tax on property, not on profits. Even a business that's losing money (negative profit) has to pay property tax, if it owns property. Some states do exempt charities (or some types of charities) from property taxes as well, but it doesn't follow automatically from non-profit status.
The hashing function is the Bitcoin network. FLDC is simply in 140 bytes of data inside a BTC transaction. Thats why we chose to go with Counterparty, all computational power that users donate to the FAH program goes 100% in the project, and the existing miners for BTC are the ones who hash FLDC
