It can be inferred from SilkRoad's revenue. Plus, about ~50% of blockchain transactions were gambling related before they all moved offchain. You could tell because all the gambling addresses were labeled on blockchain.info

Hard to get gambling numbers now because it's all private and offchain.
Fan and user of Clojure here :). It's a Lisp and popular enough to use safely and if you don't mind the syntax, go for it. You find it used in all those companies in small projects, so these companies are always looking for engineers who would also be comfortable in it.
Low end phones have 1 slow core, as far as I'm aware. I'm not aware of very many 8 core phones, let alone low end ones.
Hi. I'm the HiveFlux CEO. I'm happy to answer any questions.
The copyright argument does not seem very plausible, and regarding your linked example: Unofficial guides and such should really be allowed, and I don’t see any consensus forming around disallowing them.

Your point about trademarks is much more interesting, though; how many people have paid money for this “The GNU Make Book”, thinking that they have somehow supported the GNU Make project? Isn’t this exactly what trademarks are supposed to prevent?
I'm amongst the 'sellers with high quality bikes' and I've given up trying to sell my bike.

Here in Melbourne, Gumtree is the go-to place to sell bikes.

Most buyers would be trying to not buy the lemons.
It's hard to learn something from this stories. All started with a team working a few months on something, before they had a prototype they could use themselves; then a well connected founder who could convince some fairly famous companies, with dozens of employees to use his prototype; then a famous founder and a few other related people with enough notority so they could pull a PR effort for a launch. And get 8,000 signups on the first day.

What could I possibly learn from a startup that got 8,000 signups on launch day? I either have to pay $20,000 in ads for this or be incredibly lucky to launch an inpredictable hit 2048-style.

So, fun to read, but no lessons learned here.
I don't know why you were downvoted. There have been major wars in the past 25 years, the worst probably being the civil war in Congo. (5 million deaths)[1] Let us not even mention Iraq, Afghanistan, Lebanon, Syria, Libya, Liberia, Sierra Leone and presently, Yemen. But in some sense, if two G-7 countries are not fighting each other in their own soil, the war does not "matter". More and more you think, you realize that George Orwell was a prescient genius when he predicted low-level proxy conflicts in faraway regions as a way great powers will seek to maintain patriotic fervour.

It is true that nuclear weaponry might have avoided many direct wars between the nuclear powers, but it has not been an absolute guarantee. There has been a war directly involving nuclear powers - the Kargil conflict between India and Pakistan. [2] Again, among present troubles, Ukraine and Russia both have nuclear weaponry, I suppose.

Let's assume that this is a valid characterization of things. Now, we could try flipping one or more of those bits. Surely the soundness of this argument guarantees that the resulting bit sequences are not protected so long as nobody else ever arranged those bits that way, and we're free to use them, right? In fact, we would be the only ones allowed to use the resulting bit sequence then.

Problem is, if we actually did this, the protection status of those bits in real life would not comport with the results we outlined above. Specifically, we would find that many of the resulting bit sequences would be just as off limits to us. That's because copyright is not about bits, and the original characterization that it is is not a sound one.

This:

> These tweets are real, and they're the stuff of founders’ dreams. And yet Slack hasn’t run any big integrated marketing campaigns — they don't have an elaborate email strategy or buy million-dollar billboards. (In fact, they hit those user numbers without a CMO.) So how did the company not only launch with enviable momentum, but so quickly win users' hearts? If there’s one theme that emerges when founder Stewart Butterfield talks about Slack's success, it’s that the company made customer feedback the epicenter of its efforts.

Seems misleading, when the article turns to this:

> The big lesson here:Don't underestimate the power of traditional media when you launch. Itmustbe your primary concern, starting months beforehand and continuing for weeks afterward. Pull the strings you have. Work closely with your PR firm to find your hook. It can be personalities on your team, impressive customers you already have in the bag, prestigious investors, etc. But don't leave it to two weeks beforehand and throw something together.

These are course notes for a grad-level PL class. I've seen something like this before...maybe 10 years ago. I don't think the encoding is particularly novel, just part of the material being taught.
Probably not; canistream.it comes up empty.
I might be misunderstanding, but I'm having trouble imagining online bike markets as the dominant form of selling bikes. Wouldn't shipping cost be a big problem? Or are they city-specific markets, where people meet up in person for the actual exchange? The linked site seems to be for all of Switzerland, which is definitely not within biking distance.

In Copenhagen people mostly buy used bikes from: the monthly police auction of abandoned bikes (good for cheap bikes of random-skewed-towards-bad quality), used bike shops, for-sale flyers posted in apartment lobbies or offices, word of mouth, postings on Facebook, etc.
I've cracked my aeoropress, pushing a plunger through a cold ... holder? That other thing that's not a plunger. It was by accident, and not related to making coffee.

Not really, this seems more like an classless OO encoding in functional programming. Related but not the same.
Looks good. I used "Fundamentals of Probability with Stochastic Processes" by Ghahramani. Very good book.

It would be interesting if Servo could get layout time under the frame budget on mobile devices. Right now, the divide is basically "Do whatever you want on desktop, but don't touch the DOM or use any CSS property other than transform/opacity in a mobile animation" - and it misses the mark by a large margin, eg. layout on a reasonably complicated site like Google Search is on the order of 100-150ms while the frame budget is 17ms. If you could get layout on mobile to run in under, say, 10ms, it would dramatically change what web developers can do in an animation, which would potentially also change the native vs. web technology equation.
Loved the idea, and finally a place with good format where to vert some knowledge in.

I really liked your design and UX overall, good job!

Update: Is there a place to set the module/class to "published" or something? So it's not visible until you are done with editing and such (like a draft mode).

Depending on the size of your market, it's possible that the TLD won't matter so much in the beginning. At that point you may be more reliant on word-of-mouth and early adopters, so a non-traditional TLD could be in your benefit, giving you time to prove out the idea and generate some income that can be put towards purchasing the .com version. I suppose the demographic would also be a factor to consider.

They are not going against TM in the ticket market though. Putting the entire ticket market in one place is really nice from a ticket buyers perspective. How much TM and the whole ticket market sucks though, is another story.
It's really interesting that the marketing is so moms-heavy; that doesn't come through very clearly in the Globe article. The article does mention neighbourhoods and moms briefly, but VarageSale's landing page is way more obvious... the co-founder as "Chief Mom", for example.
Agreed, but then finding some kind of market, going there, and looking at several bikes will probably take longer than just fixing the old bike.
Damn-near everything in our life is subject to copyright by default.

You've been party to infringement a million times over. We all have. Start on your first birthday. http://www.snopes.com/music/songs/birthday.asp

It seems pretty clear that Wild's lawyers are not originating the lawsuits on their own, without input from him. For example:

If the infringement appears on a personal blog, forum, or web page, I usually ignore it. If I have time, which I generally don’t, I may issue a takedown notice to remove infringing copies from personal sites most likely to feed downstream infringements. If the infringement occurs on a corporate or organizational webpage, product, broadcast, or similar, even if it is just a small internal image, I generally submit it to ImageRights.

There's also this:

Considerably more effort and attention went into researching and vetting your case than went into Getty’s ham-handed, largely automated process.

And this:

Q. You are wrong, I did license that image, and I resent being accused of something I did not do.

Goodness! My heartfelt apologies for my mistake. If you forward the license agreement or receipt to my lawyers, we will drop the case and I will fully refund your original license payment, while you may continue to use the image(s). I have made an erroneous accusation before, and I felt terrible about it.

The impression I'm getting is that he's being very careful not to make erroneous accusations. I'm sorry for what happened to you, but this doesn't seem like the same kind of thing.

The fact is, there's always a new tool for the job a year or two down the road, but software needs building today.

I launched a major internal admin a year ago with Angular and it's largely on autopilot because Angular is so darn easy to work with when it comes to building new features, especially in the view layer.
Yes the three scenarios you mention are unlikely, and I agree that the web will continue to evolve rapidly for at least another five years. But isn't it possible for web apps continue to close the performance gap yet still lose their dominance as the 'first choice' for startup development?

For example, perhaps Google will make it much easier to port an Android app to iOS, similar to the way SWT makes it easy to write a single app that uses native controls on both Mac and Windows.

This Android+iOS app could then run on Windows, Mac, ChromeOS, Linux, Android, and iOS. Suppose that the cost of developing such an app is roughly equal to the cost of developing a web app. Wouldn't startups be tempted to choose this platform over a web app?
seatgeek has an amazing ui, maybe the best ui for finding tickets. That alone is very valuable. The problem is that with this round total raised is $100M. VC's expect to double or triple their money, as par. That sets a simplified expected exit valuation of $300M for this to be a success. Ticketmaster was last sold for $400MM in 2009. The bar for success is now extremely high. Anything below the high expectations generally means that this fantastic product will be considered a failure and most likely sold for scrap. What a horrible situation, why create these artificial expectations?

I would agree their tech was AMAZING. Even on my rather not so hot charter cable and very outdated 6 year old laptop i was able to play their latest games. The problem was the connection. I could feel the lag. I really tried to make it work but the lag was just to much. It wasn't onlive's fault. the ping time was just to much.
I'm thinking that in a few years there will still be games with intense graphics that aren't VR - these will just be a new type of casual game. In the last months the barrier to use high-end engines has been significantly lowered, which should make these tools available even to such lower budget titles (but sometimes with a huge following). VR helmets will probably stay a 'nerdy thing' for a while, taking over the gaming world from the top end and (hopefully) through arcades.

I second the recommendation of Debugging by Agans. It was recommended to me by one of the best debugging people at Apple, and the approaches it outlines have served me well in the years since.
I agree--It's truly difficult to buy a bike online. Things like seat height, comfort, handlebar, gears, etc. cannot be easily assessed just by online materials. You cannot adequately assess a product without doing a test ride.

While I am an occasional bicyclist and have a limited understanding of what bicycle enthusiast looks for, I can't imagine anyone willing to shell out serious dough for a bike without looking at it. Heck, some bicycles cost as much as a 250cc-650cc motorbike. As a motorcyclist, I would never complete a transaction without first looking at the bike and kicking the 2 tires, or at least being able to ride the bike within the limits of the law on a public road.
I don't remember the specifics, but pcwalton should be able to tell you more.
There's a similar problem in an area of interest to me: Musical instruments. A possible issue in common between bikes and instruments is that with a little bit of care, they can last forever, but with no care, they deteriorate rapidly. I would absolutely have to see a bike myself to be assured of which case I was dealing with.

Aside: I'd have fixed or replaced the derailleur too, and I'm not that short of funds.
My point is that differentiating the integral and fractional parts of a floating point makes no sense. Some operations lose a constant amount of precision, others lose more precision the more different the numbers are. None of them act differently on the integral and fractional parts of the number.

Now, of course, there's a fixed point representation for each possible floating point number. But operations on fixed point numbers act differently on the integral and fractional parts of the numbers (in part because it's impossible to have a pair of fixed point numbers of the same type, but so different that n+1==n).
WIG vehicles are pretty damn cool. Unfortunately they are rather vulnerable to weather. I am disappointed that Russia hasn't made regular Ekranoplan service a thing, both across the polar areas and on the black sea.

> These Western men do not really have to learn the language or try to fit in. Their Japanese girlfriends or wives will take care of the majority of things for them.

This part is glossed over, but kind of telling. Not learning the language or trying to assimilate is a choice, and obviously has its disadvantages. When you make your partner compensate for a lot of those, then it's pretty hard to sympathise, especially when you add children into the mix.

I skimmed it, but in the intro why does he say:

"The most natural conjecture is that the prime numbers appear randomly..
If the twin prime conjecture is correct, then we may conclude that the
[primes] are not constructed randomly"

why does he say a random distribution of primes would imply the twin prime conjecture is false?

My intuition is the opposite: a random distribution of primes implies the twin prime conjecture is true. Because suppose there are finite twin primes, set them aside; then test pairs of numbers above the largest of them. Since we assume the twin prime conjecture is false, the chances that random pairs above that number are both prime is exacty 0; but that would mean the primes are not distributed randomly...
How to Trick Yourself into Eating Better
Wow -- I would never think of writing an elaborate explanation of why I replaced a derailleur instead of buying a new bike. I guess that's why I'm still riding a 1985 Univega :-)
> then why are you using the underscore/lodash/jquery method, it's main advantage (besides working on array like objects) is compatibility for older browsers..

Oh I'm not my point was it's not really necessary anymore. It's been so long since browsers didn't have support for these kinds of things I can't imagine the compatibility is that important anymore except in say corporate environments.
Good point. You're still trusting them to implement the rest of the system you are using securely, though.

The culture doesn't change overnight, the long haul of changing the boundaries of the conversation can only be achieved through conversation.

There are people you need to convince Joe, and you can't get them to take action until they enter the conversation as well.

Not enough people are aware of the conversation or its boundaries to act yet, once they are, the action will have happened already.

Your words make me think you think an individual can accomplish something without the group. That stupid people will always be stupid so educating them is pointless, some other "action" aside from education must occur.

I worry you've given up hope on education and with no "action" to take you dismiss those who attempt to educate. I didn't hear the action you proposed, just that it must be an action and "awareness" and "education" is a lost cause before we've begun.

As a user of said Japanese condoms, I still have to admit that I can tell that there's something there. There's nothing that will actually solve the problem that you will want something that feels good.

If you ask me, we can get more people to use condoms if we develop a condom that feels even better than not wearing one. If we can combine a sex toy and contraceptive together that works during sex basically, it might be hard to get people to NOT use condoms. Some people swear that fleshlights feel better than actual sex in itself, so who knows if we could develop advanced haptics for condoms or something down the road?

P2P? Meaning you have to go find people also on a service that I've never heard of until seeing is plugged in this thread? And why would people in Thailand want to buy a specific currency someone is selling anyway. Even USD or Euros would be rare, but every other currency would be hugely exotic. The service right now allows you to take out cash from bank ATMs that are everywhere.

How does Bitcoin solve fraud? It is devoid of fraud. It doesn't 'just push responsibility to the user' it avoids the broken concept of giving someone all the information necessary to charge money to you at will. The fraud you are describing would be fraud from a business not delivering which isn't on the same level as credit card fraud that is happening on a massive scale.

Interesting application of a 1970 paper entitled "The Market for 'Lemons': Quality Uncertainty and the Market Mechanism" by George Akerlof. This paper was the first to clearly define and study what are now everyday economic concepts: adverse selection and information asymmetry. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Economics in 2001 for this paper and other contributions to the study of asymmetric information.

As the author suggests, there are definitely some start up ideas buried in solving the problem of information asymmetry.
