To be pedantic: you were off by three orders of magnitude. An order of magnitude is a 10x multiplicative factor.
I see the point you are trying to make, but the analogy misses some nuance. A question that captures more of the muddiness of this is "If I find out someone is committing a crime and I prove it by indiscriminately publishing their emails, is the embarrassment that is created when it is revealed they were having an affair my fault or their own?"
Have you ever tried TransferWise? With customers and family around the world, I'm thinking of switching to them to handle transfers instead of Paypal/Stripe. They seem to have the most honest fees around.

On phone, can't copy/paste.

But e.g. Enum Direction { East, West, North, South };

Put that as a field in a structure that's sent/received through WCF; on JSON it will encode as numbers, regardless on any annotation you put. On XML iirc too - though I don't remember for sure. Want them as strings? You have to encode/decode yourself. But if you use .NET on both sides , you wouldn't notice unless you sniff the connection - until you change the enumeration order, for example, and all help breaks loose. Which is to be expected of a binary protocol, but completely unexpected for verbose text formats like JSON or XML.
I'm always surprised by the people asking "bring VB6 back". I'd like to know why - is it because you're stuck maintaining VB6 applications that can't be/haven't been updated to VB.net or C#? I used VB6 extensively back in the day, and I am very glad indeed that it's now dead.
Like others, I believe that that is one solution, but that a rigorous, objective analysis of policies and the reasons behind why we do things is necessary, and this article presents the problems very well. To shrug off the philosophical roots of the broken system is not ideal.

You have a point here. A lot has been done in the Android framework to enable developers to build app that will scale up and down elegantly. However, keep in mind that there is more than supporting the physical form factor to it. To build for tablets vs phone is a different product mindset, with different goals and user experience. I don't expect people to open BillGuard every day on their tablet, rather to take their time on weekends to go deeper into the more advanced tools for example. Since the app is used differently, the UX has to be thought through specifically to take advantage of the specific platform you're building for.

Bitcoin will go down in history as virtual place where a whole pile of virtual money went down the virtual tubes. These virtual currencies will never fly so long as currency speculation is legal. They are repeating all the same mistakes that the current "real" money system exhibits. Bitcoin is subject to the same crooked manipulation schemes that we have operating in the banking systems today.

Hello, I worked at a RethinkDB integration for Meteor (https://github.com/Slava/meteor-rethinkdb) for a week as my "hack" project.

I must say, there seems to be a lot of work to be done, before we can call this implementation "stable" for kind of quality bar Minimongo (https://github.com/meteor/meteor/tree/devel/packages/minimon...) has in Meteor. It is not uncommon to see Reqlite queries to fail because of simple bugs.

Not to say that the library is hopeless, Neumino did a lot of grunt work that makes it easy to test and contribute. See this thread where we discuss the missing functionality: https://github.com/neumino/reqlite/issues/3

Group 14 is fine. You might as well also tell people to use custom block ciphers, since a precomputation of roughly the same magnitude---compute a common plaintext under many possible keys---would break AES-128 pretty quickly as well.

I would say use a custom group if you must stick with 1024-bit groups for some reason. Otherwise, use a vetted 2048+-bit group. If---or when---2048-bit discrete logs over a prime field are broken (and by broken I mean once, regardless of precomputation), it will likely be due to some algorithmic advance, in which case DHE is essentially done for. If nation states have been able to pull that off already, then it's pointless to even recommend anything related to DHE in the first place.

I don't know that it is intellectually lazy. It makes a lot of sense.

If a lisp dialect had a large, vibrant ecosystem on the scale of Python or Javascript, then a lot of people would see the parens, see the advantage of having them, work their way through it and eventually get used to them and even embrace them because they see a real payoff.

That's not the case with lisp dialects. The major payoff with lisp dialects is macros. But for most people, it isn't obvious why they are important. They are something you have to use to really get.

So the intellectually reasonable position for most people is to either ignore lisp or laugh at it. Meanwhile, you see endless articles like this posted over the years (not knocking the article itself), trying to explain lisp in a kind of reverence and terminology usually associated with religious texts. "Hey, brother, you just need to see the light".

I've been doing quite a bit of Clojure coding lately and I love it. I just can't see a lisp ever catching on. Actually, the project I'm working on is a lisp that does not look like a lisp but compiles down to Clojure. The parens aren't really necessary for lisp's best feature, as seen by Elixir. Here's a bit of my language:

" " join([1, 2, 3]) count println
Yes these things happen. They should not happen. But they happen in most counties --even homogenous countries. Also, people don't get killed like this everyday, these are exceptions, not acceptable exceptions, but its also not routine as you make it out to be.

The problem is economic and cultural (we allow for guns) so the police take maximum caution, and given the police are the only expression of government in some areas, the negativity falls on them. It's not as if most of the community in a blighted area don't want police - they do, but they also want police to act as if the areas didn't have a violent characteristic. Any area of the world with high crime, be it Russia, china, France, germany, greece will have police act differently in those communities. It's a reaction to the dynamics in such places. It takes effort to overcome and the local Govs typically don't put in the necessary effort.
Many years ago I tried to sell a World of Warcraft account via. Paypal. I got lots of buyers -- all of whom tried to pay with stolen paypal accounts.

After they made a payment I would ask for a photo-copy of their ID, or to wait 3-days to make sure the payment went through properly (Paypal's normalized way of handling this was to mark the Payment as confirmed leaving the seller thinking everything was okay only to reverse it say 3 days later, screwing the seller). If I recall one of the buyers even offered to try a different account when I told them the payment got flagged.

In about a week's time I had received $5000 or so worth of transfers (all of them from stolen accounts!) Subsequently Paypal froze my account. I never was able to sell that World of Warcraft account either.

> The result is that you get to mine at a lower difficulty than the rest of the population.

Everyone mines at the same difficulty. If you choose not to mine for a period (and the difficulty adjusts to a lower level), you're just encouraging more miners to fill your void - your absence represents new opportunity for miners who might not have been profitable at the higher/original difficulty.

Even if new mining doesn't increase difficulty to the original level, you're always mining at the same difficulty as the rest of the population, so your supposed gain is everyone else's gain, meaning it's effectively non-existent.

In other words, just because you can affect difficulty by temporarily choosing not to mine, your absence (and lower difficulty) does not decrease participation of other miners; if anything, it will encourage more mining and ultimately cause the difficulty to increase for everyone.

Even though I was at the tail end of "Gen X" like the author of the article, I still managed to pull it off. This wasn't without any debt but I went to a state university that cost about $10k/yr and paid for most of it by working part time throughout school and full time over summers (while living for free at home during breaks, foregoing the car payment, and skipping the pricey spring breaks and summer vacations).

That's not to say I didn't take out any loans but when I graduated, I owed the equivalent of a Ford Focus rather than a good chunk of a home mortgage. Looking at the costs at the same state university, it's now up to around $13k for tuition, fees, and a dorm room for a full year. That's a decent $3k/yr bump from what I paid but I also didn't take advantage of cheap community college tuition for the first year or two so there are still ways to do it and not graduate with $50-100k in debt.

If anything, I think what's missing (and was missing for me as well) is a real focus on the value of degrees and the real cost of debt. Offers of loans and credit are thrown at students all the time and it's way too easy to accept when you haven't spent years of being truly broke and in debt. Likewise, there was so much focus on just going to college because that is what you did after high school. Just pick a major based on something you like and no mention is made of which fields are actually hiring and what they're paying.

The idea of just going to college and paying $40k or $60k to spend four years learning about something interesting just "because" really only works if you come from wealth and can just pay for it. As long as it costs that much, I think there should really be more focus on exactly what you're getting at the end. Too many young people think it's "college, then graduate, then get job in field, then use salary to pay off any loans while maybe saving up to buy a house somewhere down the line". I don't think you can really blame them because if I remember correctly, I was ignorant of much of reality at 17 when I was applying for this stuff.

Sure, but that's not a particularly interesting or useful observation seeing as how one's choices are a result of economic circumstances.
If I make one hundred pieces of blue paper and I call it a currency and I start selling it to people, would this type of behavior be questionable? Bitcoin is just a complicated high tech version of this. It's debateable whether or not Bitcoin is empty dreams, outright fraud, or an actual currency. What bitcoin is, is not the point. The point is this "index" you want to buy.

Lets say I make 100 pieces of red paper but this time I say each piece of paper represents 1/100th of an index fund that tracks the cost of the blue paper. Also whoever buys a red paper from me has to pay me annual fund management fees.

You're telling me you want to buy these pieces of paper that ALREADY track a "currency" that is quite sketchy in nature? If you want to gamble your money, gamble the right way, buy the blue paper, or in other words just buy bitcoin straight up.

Each threading issue reported ended up being traced back to sharing a RedisClient instance across multiple threads, e.g. by using a static RedisClient instance, registering RedisClient in IOC, etc - i.e. instead of using one of the ThreadSafe connection factories. If you have any repro showing any multi-threading issues with proper usage we'd love to hear about it (https://github.com/ServiceStack/Issues).
WCF is very powerful and a piece of frustration. What's interesting is that most people have shared the common use of WCF which is interacting with Web Services and being JSON endpoints. There are better alternatives to make JSON endpoints in .NET. If you're using Web Services you're kind of stuck. So for a lot of people this is going to be useful.

WCF is broad. Mind-bogglingly broad. I was in a project on we were implementing a P2P system on top of WCF and WCF has some mesh capability built in. Being able to use the same API for HTTP requests feels odd. Once I understood the breadth of what it can do it really lives up to its name. Unfortunately, it wasn't a focused API for most of what people needed it for.

Can you give an overview of the technique you are using for this project (in general, not just this demo) for someone with only undergraduate level graphics knowledge?

Do you basically draw two triangles that fill the whole screen and then render everything using a shader?

And how do you store that many voxels? A sparse data structure? When you have a large solid area do you simply say this entire area is filled so don't have to represent the voxels individually?

I saw a video where you cut away sections of a building using a brush. Do you store the building voxels and then store the subtraction separately? If you had a world with thousands of buildings in it and cut away a little at each does that mean you can no longer share the shape of each building and space requirements blow up?
