Right, but that comment was in jest about the state of Art buying. That's the point of the piece, Art buying is bullshit. Who's buying these pieces? They aren't buying them to add to the greater art narrative but as an investment. Art Critics love to hate the fact that their world couldn't exist without the wealthy supporting as investment. No one buys a 140mm Picasso because that's what it's worth. They buy it because they think they can sell it for more. Hence his tone about it being gone forever and her joking that he knows it will be back.

I think excel has a lot of good features for small samples. But when it comes to larger datasets, the macro and scripting capabilities (in Visual BASIC) are just too slow to be practical. So in that way, yes it's overused for large datasets, there are many many better/faster toolsets out there.
You need an agent for service of process who either resides or does business in the state where you will incorporate. Any attorney could provide that for you, however there are some businesses that specialize in that, that would be quite a lot less expensive.

I once used The Company Corporation. It was inexpensive and quick.

Alternatively if you have a friend who's willing to be the agent for service of process, you could write the articles of incorporation yourself, then mail them to the secretary of state with a US dollar money order or bank draft for the fee.

None of the directors need reside in the US.

However you do it, you would find it helpful to read nolo press' "How to Form a California Corporation".

I am happy for all those that voted Tory. The country would have been a complete shambles had Labour got in. Do you people have short memories of the last Labour Goverment?

There was no money left.

Immigration was out of control.

There were musings of ditching the pound and having the euro as the currency.

Giving more powers to the EU.

Complete madness. Labour would not have been more happier if the UK was sold off like Greece.

Now under a Tory parliament, the UK has a chance of being great again. Being fiscally responsible and fostering a climate for more jobs for people and better wages. Last I heard the UK was outpacing Germany!

It's funny, where will you go. Yeah, no-where IS perfect.
US Judges in civil cases can be obligated for the court to be informed that a crime has been committed, which is then referred to the prosecuting authority. The prosecuting authority still has discretion and is not forced to prosecute the matter.

Base it on something that is true over the long term
DNSSEC is top-down. DNSCrypt is bottom-up.

DNSSEC provides no value until the whole system works. DNSCrypt adds value even if just two systems use it.

DNSSEC uses 1990s crypto. DNSCrypt uses 2010+ crypto.

DNSSEC doesn't protect name resolution queries. DNSCrypt only protects name resolution queries.
Your pseudo-code misses that there must be two branches in each loop. In a high-level language, it looks like there is a single branching construct:

while (condition) { do_something }

But in assembly, which is what we are writing, there are two branches: The loop test and the loop back. If you could guarantee that the two numbers were not zero, you could do it without an entry check, but since that isn't stated in the problem, you need to check.

Z2 // zero 2. This will hold the answer

// Branch to "add element zero" loop if element zero is not zero
J 0, 2, Handle_element_zero
Z4 // unconditional branch to Handle_element_one
I4
J 3, 4, Handle_element_one

Handle_element_zero:
I2 // increment answer
J2, 0, Handle_element_zero // loop if we haven't iterated enough

Z3 // zero loop counter

Handle_element_one:
J 1, 3, End // branch if there are no elements

C:
I3
I2
J3, 1, C

End
Much of what the government did (and does do) is not techically legal - in that they can not force companies to disclose or backdoor access to information beyond what is listed in the Patriot Act, CALEA and associated constellations of law.

Various mechanisms are used to get partnerships with companies including financial threat (QWest), legal threat (Yahoo), infiltration (Facebook), and appeal (Microsoft, Google). If it is more difficult to get cooperation from a company if they believe that customers will hate, snark and boycott them, or if it will damage their image it will be more difficult for agencies to make deals with companies in extralegal ways.

Discouraging customers from criticizing companies for voluntarily making deals doesn't seem fair to me. I think the OPs misgivings, however informed, are about voluntary rather than compulsed, action taken by Microsoft leadership.

You'll never satisfy someone who wants an original. It actually won't even devalue the work much if it was reproduced near exactly. As an artist and art buyer, I want originals. It's about linage and the greater art narrative. If it was painted, I want the one the artist touched, bar none. I'm buying pieces in the $400-800 range and I'm of that opinion. Those that are buying in the 400,000-800,000 definitely also share it. (They are also buying as investment.)

> It would be a basic engineering problem to design the structure to be raised and lowered when repair is needed.

I'm a big sailer too. I used to crew on racing boats and classic schooners.

Let's say we have a cantilevered mast and can swap it out "quickly". For 2MW worth of generation that would be a massive engineering feat and would mean that you have inventory not being utilized stored in the warehouse. Not just a generator or blade, but an entire system unutilized sitting around! Also most sailing masts are fairly light (aluminium) and short (30'). A 2MW wind mast would be 10x a sailing mast and hold all of the generator and electronics, not just a hollow tube that needs to be structurally sound. also masts are designed to be rigid and are held in place using shrouds and stays. A wind mast designed to move can not be held in place using guy-wires as that defeats the purpose of the dynamic wind mast.

Workers on these wind farms are making between $10 and $25 each and every hour. Some specialized workers are making double that at times, but let's keep the average of $20/hr.

It doesn't make economical sense even if you didn't need a crane to swap it out. And yes you would need a crane as this would be a multi-ton structure.

Ask HN: 2 weeks to save the business you spent 4 years on
We have just lost our biggest client who represented 50% of our business and have now found ourselves in a position where we have 2 weeks to save the business we have spent the last 4 years working on.

The business has $193k of assets (hardware, depreciated value) but we need about 60% ($115k) of this value which can be secured against the assets but don't know where to turn.

This has been rather unexpected and therefore we are not ready with financials and presentations for investors or the bank.

If we can replace this business over the course of 1 year, our projection shows $600k in the bank by May 2016.

We need to find investors who have some tech resource so that they would consider an investment based on security of the assets alone. The hardware itself is what generates the income.
that's the point!

currently there are only two sides, but with self-driving cars both sides could try to blame the other OR any other related entity (even from their own side) --what if both sides agrees to go after a 3rd one?
Do you think that art as a commodity is less valuable that "art for arts sake"? Or the fact that an artist (like everyone else in society) needs to get paid to continue to create is a bad thing or cheapens anything they might create?
As of October 2013 Google+ had 300 million monthly active “in-stream” users who see or visit the Google+ stream of content, according to Marketing Land. Google has not provided Google+ usage metrics since then.

The current numbers must be down in the single digit millions by now. I don't know anyone who uses Google+ anymore (only a handful of people I know ever used it at all, compared to the hundreds of people I know on Facebook).

> hitchhikers are thus more likely to be dangerous people.

Do you have any reference to support this? Or is it just personal fantasy? If you look at the fbi.gov article mentioned (I linked it in a lower comment as well), you may notice that the hitchhikers were most often the victims: The victims in these cases are primarily women who are living high-risk, transient lifestyles

That you nevertheless think this statement to be true - I think rather supports my point about it being a question of culturally conditioned fear and stereotypes.
Furthermore, there's the QUEL language, and SQL is probably going off that, especially with the original name of SEQUEL. Here's an interesting post on it: http://patorjk.com/blog/2012/01/26/pronouncing-sql-s-q-l-or-...

FWIW, I use sequel as that's how I learned it. But I also dislike unnecessary syllables so that's my justification.
There's a difference when the artist is dead. By buying an original you become a patron of the artist and generally contribute to artistic development.
Yes. These were the two questions that I recall being asked when I was interviewing to be an undergraduate.
> They have a tendency to write really slow code and don't have a clear idea of the execution model behind what they write down.

Of course, this isn’t unique to Haskellers. ;)

Granted, reasoning about performance in Haskell is still a relatively young art, and there aren’t many of us who are experienced with it.
While it is impressive that they stayed out of the way, I suspect the vehicle that blazed that trail had a slightly slower go of it...
Having used Docker mostly as a packaging format for the past 6 months at my day job, I think it's a terrible format for packaging. I'm about to strip it out and go back to .debs.

The current love of containers is a fad - they have their uses, but it is the new hammer for which every problem has been redefined as a nail. Docker solves some problems, but packaging isn't one of them - and it brings lots of it's own issues along for the ride as well.

Admittedly, I haven't played around with other forms of containers more than a 'hello world', but my experience of container-as-packaging has been woeful so far.

By all observations it is not a riddle (i.e. there are no unexplainable phenomena) but rather an illusion.
A couple relevant snippets:

Caveat - I think images must come from a build system.
Using anybody’s canned images as a baseline is reckless.

Config tools still have a place - in building the automated
systems that allow folks to focus on business logic, but I
think there are going to move down-stack to doing things
like automating OpenStack. The longer term future is about
cloud/virt systems like this provisioning themselves, but
they are still yet a bit too complicated in the way they are
going about it, but I feel it’s coming.

(The post's author, Michael DeHaan, wrote Ansible in 2012, but left the project earlier this year to pursue other interests.)

My thoughts on the subject are much the same—but I think it'll take a few years for the tooling to reach the level of polish we currently have with best-of-breed CM and general provisioning tools. It's not as easy to go from 0-to-infrastructure with a Docker-based workflow (especially if you have your own registry, etc.) as opposed to a VM-plus-CM-based workflow.
And I can understand that, too. Modern art especially is all about the narrative context of the work—if not for the statement being made by painting a Mondrian or a Warhol when and where they did, they would be worthless.

But that context is something that exists whether or not the original is in front of you. It's something captured in a book about art history, not in the painting itself.

I can understand a collector wanting originals. But why does a museum need originals, now that the technology exists to faithfully reproduce the originals? Why not just sell all the works and put up reproductions? If the point is to teach the public about art and its history, you don't need the actual art there (which has probably been restored five times by then anyway, or, if not, has aged to the point that its appearance no longer matches the artist's original intent); you just need an excellent diorama.
The responses you got on IRC don't necessarily represent Haskell best practice (or even good practice). Most people probably have better things to do than translate random toy programs from C++.

Certain highly stateful algorithms may be difficult to translate into Haskell, in the same way that certain highly structural or lazy algorithms may be difficult to translate to C++.

I'm curious if your time complexity analyses are accurate, given that you (admittedly) did not understand the faster algorithm. You could be getting tripped up by laziness.

In general, I've found that most production Haskell code is quite fast, in both big-O and absolute terms.
On some level, I think you can still apply the "starts with a vowel" rule for SQL, since in this case "S" is really standing in for "ess" (assuming you're not saying "sequel", which I've never gotten into the habit of doing).
Yeah, but then we just need more ambulances to deal with those folks, and so on... I suspect it would ramp up in polynomial fashion...
We're still using it on some of our projects, but we've found that no matter how simple we make data-binding it still leads to a mess of event bindings and state management.

This is definitely a case of "better late than never", IMO.

Microsoft browsers will always have a foothold in enterprise environments, and the prospect of developing against a "real" browser when working with enterprise customers is rather exciting.
So now that even my high school friends are on the lookout for these big IPOs, they might not happen so fast, because the companies will have to really bring in the revenues to justify those valuations before going to market?
The reason valuations jumped so high is because the 'unicorns' and the rest of the SaaS sector have gotten so much better at capturing value. Obviously that's not a bubble scenario. However, there will need to be an adjustment period where these companies are hitting their targets, or they face to loose some value immediately after the IPOs. Does that make sense? Is that bad at all?
It is pedantic in the sense that "overhead" in a programming context will most of the time mean some kind of runtime overhead, unless noted otherwise.
"In 1997, Juan Maldacena found a concrete example of holography in action, demonstrating that a toy model describing a flat space without gravity is equivalent to a description of a saddle-shaped space with gravity."

Though not applicable for our spacetime, is still a compelling motivation for more research. We can now compute chess, go, deep learning. Next up tensor network modelling.
Assume the artist maintains IP over copies of his work, aren't you also contributing to his continued development by buying a copy?
That's exactly what I though! Holly cow......maybe I should take my name off the organ donors list. Have heard of people 'coming back to life' after being incorrectly pronounced dead (even young ones) and from memory there has been a few cases where people were buried alive, waking up in the coffin only to find out that they will come out of it alive again. If that is the common practice I think that medical practitioners should start questioning their suitability for this job!

I never considered nuancing a discussion could be unhelpful, but I think I understand your point. There's some kind of underlying truth we're attempting to uncover, and in your opinion, I'm derailing by "nuancing" through devils advocacy; submitting arguments I do not actually believe to be worthwhile.

I'm wondering though, does it have to be so black and white? Can't I believe partially that what i'm positing is worthwhile, or at least have a feeling there's something to uncover down that avenue, without being entirely convinced? I would assume bouncing half-baked ideas off each other could be valuable (though I do recall a bunch of studies debunking Brainstorming, which I guess this is similar to).
Yeah I know I don't "need" it but what you're suggesting is actually what I've been doing for past year or so. I need a push to turn this into career, hence the bootcamp (they also say they set up interviews after bootcamp).

How to Hack the Internship Process, and Guess What? It’s Just Like Online Dating
Having met the engineers who actually built Edge, I can say with some confidence that I think this will the Microsoft browser people actually like.

They built it from the ground up with security in mind, and with standards compatibility at the expense of backwards compatibility.

In other words, they have finally decided that it is ok to tell their lagging enterprise customers to get with the times.
Way too attached to a bit of paint on paper.

Is there a name for the rhetorical device where one tries to devalue something by referring to it in this technically-correct-debasing kind of way? I feel like I'm seeing it more and more often on HN and elsewhere. It's some kind of anti-intellectualism but I feel like it must be more specific.
I really couldn't recommend Hover enough. I switched from Gandi (who I was very happy with - and still am, in fact, they're a great registrar too). Their interface is great - incredibly clear, simple and fast. Their support is even better.

The only downside is the email hosting. I was used to free email hosting from Gandi so it's annoying having to pay now - $10/year/mailbox.

Huge advantage of Hover: if you have domains elsewhere, you can give them your credentials for the old registrar and they'll log in and transfer your domains over (and DNS, etc). Saves a bunch of time.

Finally, if you don't go with Hover, go with Gandi. Their interface isn't nearly as nice but the support is good and they won't screw you around.
I have wondered the same thing. For example, I was at the Musee d'Orsay last summer and was absolutely blown away by van Gogh's "Starry Night". It is stunning. But look at the picture the the d'Orsay's website [0]? "Drab" would be generous.

On the other hand, I have seen a "Rembrandt" at a Japanese museum that has dubious provenance. The sign at the museum said that they were quite sure their's was real, but that an identical painting exists in an American museum and apparently nobody know's which one is the real one. Either way it was an amazing painting. In fact there is a museum in Otsuka which houses only replicas of famous works (which I really want to go to, but haven't been to yet).

Skilled artists can make convincing replicas. If someone wants to pay $140 million for a painting, it might be interesting if $50k were reserved for painting a replica to hang in a museum. However, I think the author is being a bit over the top anyway. As they even note in the article, that Picasso has been shown at exhibitions.

To offer a different example, it's fairly rare to see real dinosaur bones on display - at least mounted into a dinosaur shape. There are lots of problems with mounting bones and naturally a lot of care and expense has to go into it. Many museums simply exhibit painted casts and 90% of people won't notice the difference unless they're told.
