I wasn't suggesting making 10 piles; I was suggesting making 100 piles. (With cash trays with cubbyholes you could reasonably do 1000.)

You can take, say, 300 bills in your off hand, use your thumb to flip each new one, and use your good hand to take it from the handful and place it into one of the 100 piles within arm's reach on the table, according to the digits you saw on it while your hand was returning from placing the last one. If you're doing this in 800ms, then when your hand is empty, you have spent 240 seconds and can easily spend 10 seconds picking up and riffling another 300 bills, bringing you to 270. After two hours of this, you have sorted 8000 bills into 100 piles of 80 or so bills; you should now take a ten-minute break. After another two hours, you should spend five minutes putting those 100 piles into envelopes so they don't fall over, and take another ten-minute break. (Or a half-hour break for lunch, which I wasn't counting as part of the workday.)

That's what 1Hz looks like, and I think you can get to that speed pretty much right off the bat, especially since accuracy is not crucial here (unlike in almost all cash-handling operations!). And yeah, 4Hz sounds "wildly optimistic", but it isn't, really. That kind of speed improvement for manual movements with experience is common for assembly-line tasks. Watch the knife movements of a sous-chef on video, and consider that every one of their movements is irrevocable; they don't get a chance to spend time straightening crooked cuts.
I think the better approach here is to phase out existing applications in chunks. You can link call rust code from C (when externed and rustc is told not to mangle) and C code from rust (via ffi).

My experience with code automatically converted has not been good.
Why are export grade ciphers even still a thing. I can't believe that libraries are still shipped with implementations for those.

Also, scary that SSH appears to be partially affected(?)
Oh hey, I actually built something extremely similar in a hacknight recently [1]. Except instead of just converting URLs to fixed size tokens (also how chirp.io works), I allowed arbitrary bit streams and forward error correction.

There's a big difference between "it's really cold out here" and "I literally can't breathe the air". Also, making the best of a horrible environment could make it less horrible, but doesn't mean it wouldn't still be pretty horrible.
You're also missing local news and much of the mid-tier state news. That doesn't always matter, but when it does, it really does.
Well, no. Traditionally care for those kids goes to the extended family, not the friends. Sneering at friends who won't take in children is not something that you can support in terms of an argument of tradition.

This is not at all surprising; even I had pointed out the looming DH problem in an earlier thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8810316

One small nit with the paper: it is claimed that there had been technical difficulties with the individual logarithm step of the NFS applied to discrete logarithms, making individual logs asymptotically as expensive as the precomputation. Commeine and Semaev [1] deserve the credit for breaking this barrier; Barbulescu did improve their L[1/3, 1.44] to L[1/3, 1.232] by using smarter early-abort strategies, but was not the first to come up with 'cheap' individual logs.

So, for starters, let me point out that Google's CLA (which would require for contributions like this) grants rights from contributors directly to you. So if Intel signed the CLA and contributed this code, even if you forgot the notice, they would have no recourse.

(https://cla.developers.google.com/about/google-corporate, clause 2)

This leaves "Google itself".
In that case, the problem you raise is one true of all BSD licensed stuff, not just Go.

So yeah, you should be careful with notices, no matter who they are from, google or anyone. You are trusting that if you mess up, you won't get screwed by those people.
It seems highly unlikely google would ever sue anyone, but like i said, you are trusting it won't happen if you screw up.
(I try to be straight with people about stuff like this).

Your only solution to this in toto would be "don't use BSD licensed software" in your works.

Note that this is true of plenty of other open sourvce licenses as well (IE if you screw up GPL compliance minorly, you are trusting the copyright author won't sue you). One of the only ones that doesn't require attribution for binaries is the zlib license. Statutory damages for intentional copyright infringement are quite high, and they don't actually even have to prove they lost profits or whatever.

As for Go, one of the other reasons we don't want to accept other-licensed code and code not under a CLA is so we can fix this problem by changing the runtime library license to not require attribution (but this will take a bit longer for various reasons) :).

(There are certain other languages that know they have this problem with the runtime license, but have decided they don't care if they are likely to make accidental/intentional copyright infringers of large classes of people. I will leave it to the crowd to figure out which these are :P)
They should test for hopelessness. If you put yourself in a simulation, you know that you will get out of it eventually. That gives hope and motivates you to keep going. In real-life scenario, you might be on Mars without possibility of going back.
That already exists, Node.js.
The Advent of the Upvote
The outcome of winning is positive in the sense of cashflow, but the actual outcome on you is more likely to be negative:

http://www.forbes.com/sites/susanadams/2012/11/28/why-winnin...

So while not winning in the lottery might seem like a bad outcome, in fact you've avoided an even worse one. Which confoundingly means rational winnings maximization strategies (such as picking less commonly chosen numbers to reduce the odds of sharing a prize) in fact make the expected outcome of lottery playing even worse.
Exactly where? People calling the bay area the "silicon valley" is strange to me. Kids don't even agree you're from the same area if you're not from a certain side of a city, so you have to specify where and when.

There is a big difference between "east side san jose" or sunnyvale or something.

I'm being tongue in cheek: I grant you there's excellent content, above, but I'd be interested to see a breakdown of the following: WHO consumes this kind of content, and WHY do we/they/I find it quote-un-quote "interesting"? I distinctly remember a car trip I had recently in which I realized, after about 10 minutes of talking to the passengers, that we were all regurgitating podcasts! It felt genuine, but we weren't adding anything much of our own in the mix. Is it a class thing, a source of social cachet? What are we trying to signal to each other when we share it?

I have a sneaking suspicion that the smarter we get, the more gullible we are. That the world can be "counter intuitive" and that we feel good about ourselves and our intellects when we recognize this superficial fact, seems all very strange. Like a slight of hand. Come to think of it, there's a great TED talk about a pick-pocket...

Here's some pretty strong thoughts on the matter: http://chronicle.com/article/50-Years-of-Stupid-Grammar/2549...

‘So I won't be spending the month of April toasting 50 years of the overopinionated and underinformed little book that put so many people in this unhappy state of grammatical angst. I've spent too much of my scholarly life studying English grammar in a serious way. English syntax is a deep and interesting subject. It is much too important to be reduced to a bunch of trivial don't-do-this prescriptions by a pair of idiosyncratic bumblers who can't even tell when they've broken their own misbegotten rules.’

Might be a decent guide for the utter beginner, but if you're trying to learn to write with style, rather than simply to write comprehensibly, it's more important to know all of the many, many times you can and probably should break the rules in The Elements of Style.
Besides deliberate job skill training and radical religious conversion, what educational media satisfy the "obvious change in lifestyle" test? Like any nonfictional media, the value is in perspective. Maybe you criticize newspapers and Scientific American on the same grounds, but otherwise I suspect you're holding TED to an unfair standard.

FWIW, I know my dad has taken useful insights from the occasional TED talk. The one about how the first follower is as important as a leader comes to mind.
This seems kind of insane, Android is open source already. Just some modifications and any organization with enough funding can have a viable replacement to the Android that Google ships (if in doubt ask the Chinese). I don't see this getting too far. And doesn't Yandex already have a mobile OS of their own?[1] If they want to rival anything, they should try to rival Windows and promote Linux use within Russia.

Well, living in a tin can would suck, but in theory there'd be huge underground caverns with overhead lighting. Maybe even rainforests and lakes in caverns.

As a wise man once said, if you have something that you don’t want anyone to know, maybe you shouldn’t be doing it in the first place.

But there are also dangerous scenarios that don't involve government at all, and that we don't talk enough about.

I'll use Facebook as my example. To make the argument stronger, let's assume that everyone currently at Facebook is committed to user privacy and doing their utmost to protect the data they've collected.

What happens if Facebook goes out of business, like so many of the social networks that came before it? Or if Facebook gets acquired by a credit agency? How about if it gets acquired by Rupert Murdoch, or taken private by a hedge fund?

What happens to all that data?
And the comments.
I've been contracting since 1997 and I haven't had a single day without employment. Except when I've chosen to have a holiday.

My secret has been to do such a good job that the client finds me indispensable and then leave on my terms, always with another gig lined up. Sometimes I've had to stay with clients for many months when I'd rather move on. Once I was working for a client that had a smell like they were going broke so I had to ruthlessly extract myself before my contract was due to expire, but that proved to be a good decision as a few months later nobody was being paid and were suddenly out of work.

I worked in a permanent role for 6 years before contracting, and I doubt it would be a good idea to do it with no experience. My first contract was acquired through an agency, and probably 50% of my work is through an agency, the rest is word of mouth and doing more work for former clients.
Looks like it's not enough just to set a proper ciphersuite, it's also important to reconfigure the dhparams (which apparently isn't even possible in most common apache versions). Interestingly, Dovecot seems to have had the foresight to automatically regenerate dhparams weekly by default.

Here is some rumor I found that rings true but is really disappointing (if real)

http://bitsndollars.blogspot.com/2015/05/inside-21s-plans-to...

The tldr is that Balaji and 21e6 have done nothing more interesting than use millions of dollars of opm to build a huge mining pool out of custom silicon that performs so well the 70M it took to build it just makes financial sense on its own, netting in the low eight figures currently.

Now the followup strategy is to give away free mining chips for embedded systems to 1) mine more coins using other people's power (21 keeps 75%) and 2) stabilize the long the term value of their massive BT holdings by promoting consumer adoption of bitcoin (by bribing people with free coins mined by their own gadgets)
For Nginx I think you can simply do !EXPORT to not support *EXPORT. There was a similar security bug which advised users to disable some EXPORT ciphers... correct me if I am wrong.
I'm a fan of Wordpress but not the templates which are available. They never take performance into consideration. Most wordpress sites are slow primarily Becuase of the frontend performance. 5 css and 10 JavaScript files seems to be the average. As for woothemes it's 2015 and the page where they have announced this acquisition still isn't responsive and they want to take over 51% of the web. Hope they switch gears and innovate.

Nothing in that article supports your statement that winning the lottery would be a negative event.

All that can really be said is that winning a lot of money doesn't make people much happier than they already were.
> You will eat shit food.

Not necessarily. It should be possible to grow nearly any spice or vegetable, if the greenhouse is complex (and computer controlled) enough.

When you have a couple hundred people or more, living for a year (or more) on a base, it would probably make sense to have great food. There will be so few creature comforts (like you point out), they'll perfect what they can.

That and fancy VR :)

Nah, South Bay is like that too, perhaps even moreso. I fit in perfectly - that's the type of environment I've wanted since childhood (although I'm a bit turned off by the posturing-wantrepreneur scene...I just avoid it though). It's a bit tougher for my fiancee, who doesn't care about anything tech-related and is much more the social do-gooder type. Even she's found her own crowd though. There are 8.6M people in the Bay Area - if you look hard enough, it's not that hard to find ones that aren't in tech.

How are you going to fund this? If you have a for-profit company that can potentially make billions in profit, you can raise VC.

Where is there source code available for a ride sharing app? How much is it going to cost?

How many developers will you hire? How many customer service representatives will you hire?

How much is insurance to cover the drivers going to cost (standard auto insurance usually doesn't cover them when they act as a Taxi).

When Uber/Lyft start in new cities, they tend to give out 10+ free rides to early customers in order to get new people to use it and spread the word. How much will this cost?

When Uber/Lyft start in new cities, they need to incentives drivers to drive for their platform even though there aren't many customers yet. They will often pay them an guaranteed hourly rate at the beginning. How much will this cost?

As a customer, why would I take your service instead of Uber/Lyft? With Uber usually I can find a car within a few blocks of me. It won't be the case with your service. Even if you aren't taking a cut of the profit I don't see your service being at a competitive price.
Legos, bar none. I loved legos as a kid and I recently rediscovered a large stash of them my Mom kept for me all these years. Now my 3 year old daughter and I play "little legos" every chance we get.

Isn't this basic economics at work? There's a shortage of workers with a skill-set that is in high demand, therefore, the cost of the workers is high.

Eventually, more workers will acquire the skills and the salaries will adjust accordingly. We saw the same thing with network engineers twenty years ago.

> The assumption is that nobody would be interested in making a massive investment of effort and personal hardship to create the potential of a new future.

My hypothesis is actually that the most vocal Mars dreamers are escapists and, as such, have latched on to the idea of Mars vs. the reality of Mars. Go into any forum where living on Mars is discussed, and the focus is on how cool it would be, or how you wouldn't be encumbered by political contingencies, or how much science you could do, or how science-fictiony it would all be. It all revolves around how removed from familiar experience that Mars would be, around how thrilling it is.

As a matter of emphasis, this is just unrealistic. Your bones will be disintegrating and your muscles atrophying. You'll constantly be stuffy. You'll be breathing stale air. There will be toilets, and people's shit will stink. You'll get rejected by girls on Mars, and have the occasional erectile dysfunction. There is no Internet on Mars. Instead of browsing, you'll be unclogging toilets and scrubbing away mold. You are going to pay rent on Mars, and it is going to be really, really high. All for a "future" that belongs to those who will live long after you die.

You live in space right now, and it's a really nice part of space; It has air and food and water and everything. Most of your manufacturing and other work is performed by a local underclass and an overseas underclass at discounted wages.

Mars enthusiasts don't talk about that. They talk about the Dream of Mars. Until the day-to-day realities of living on Mars, and not the romance (which you have even done!), are treated in a realistic manner in the discourse of Mars, I don't think that people are really engaged with the actual endeavor.

Everybody needs a hobby, though. Mine is complaining on the Internet.
No. Why use licensed worlds when you can invent your own.
If you read and write at ONE (which I think NetFlix does) then this kind of works. Still with virtual nodes losing a single node in each DC leaves you with some portion of the keyspace inaccessible.

You're susceptible to total loss of data since at any given time there will be data that hasn't been replicated to another DC and you're OK with having inconsistent reads.

That works for some applications where the data isn't mission critical and (immediate) consistency doesn't matter but doesn't for many others. I'm not sure what exactly NetFlix puts in Cassandra but if e.g. it's used to record what people are watching then losing a few records or looking at a not fully consistent view of the data isn't a big deal...
Take it from someone that didn't get a college degree: You didn't waste your time.
