INDX.guru takes over six million points of stock market and media monitoring data and presents it to you on one, beautiful dashboard, blisteringly fast. Traditionally, making decisions about companies of interest to you on the stock market requires the inefficiency of multiple sources of data, costing you valuable time. With INDX.guru, you have one, beautiful dashboard, with up-to-the-minute news, blogs, videos, Tweets and other financial indicators, all set up as notifications so you know when something changes as soon as everyone else does. INDX.guru's special 'Heat' and 'Sentiment' features measure the overall 'noise' of the chatter surrounding a company, as well as how positive that chatter is.
If your stock is worth $0, then can I buy it from you for $1?

If you hold stock on a stock exchange that closes down every night, is your holding worth $0 overnight while it's untradable?

If you invest in a startup where you're not allowed to liquidate for 5 years, and then it eventually sells for millions, was it worth $0 for the entirety of those first 5 years?

If your exchange only allows you to trade once every 16th of a second, is your position worth $0 during those 16th of a second gaps?
I stand corrected.

I expect that I was actually taught what you explained however it has been many years.

Didion is (and was) a force. Her book The Year of Magical Thinking has to be one of the best memoirs of the last 100 years; it perfectly takes you through the intersection between self indulgence, grief and healing in a single, very tough year for the author.

You can feel her insecurities in it, and you can see some of the same ones in this essay 40+ years earlier, the "Will I/won't I/Can I Be?" and the shot at writing about it from an "I've made it now, I can think sagely about it" angle, but at a very young age.

In the end, she's a hugely important American author who simply cannot resist namedropping repeatedly in the memoir of her grief over her husband's death; like most of us, she carries some of her gremlins through much of her adult life.

I think this essay is so fitting an essay for this site; it sort of reminds me in a way of Sam Altman's sage advice at 30 -- much of it brilliant -- but still written by someone with a lot of life left to live.

Ms. Didion had a lot of the same drive, insecurity and needs that drive the founders in our industry; she turned out some remarkable work; I hope that we as a group will too.

But why bother to control territory unless one gets some benefit from it? Throughout history, nations have sought more territory because most wealth came from land and its use. Annexing territory was the fastest way to grow the tax base.

Controlling territory but not extracting wealth is pointless. The U.S. doesn't extract wealth from its foreign bases; in fact it injects wealth because the bases are paid for by U.S. dollars but the downstream spending goes into the local economy.

And you might think "well the U.S. extracts the wealth through trade." But trade is mutually beneficial (unlike taxes) and the U.S. runs a foreign trade deficit anyway.

The things that the U.S. gets for its projected power are peace and stability. These are things that benefit any nation, though.
Yes I have backups of the emails along with screenshots of when I last access my gmail account. Sounds pretty unbelievable, I am totally shocked.
This is directly addressed in the PEP [1] - the short of it is, without the `async` modifier if you have two functions:

def important():
await something()

def something():
# ... stuff ...
await something_else()
# ... more stuff ...

and you refactor `await something_else()` into a new method then you've changed the return type of `something` from `Awaitable[ReturnType]` to just `ReturnType` and `important` will break at run-time when it tries to `await something()`.

I don't know what percentage of people using Tor for illegal activity would be incautious enough to run some random program on their computer, but I would be surprised if it was very high.

I think it would certainly depend on the type of "illegal activity"; it's quite plausible that those looking for drugs or counterfeiting are going to have much higher suspicion and opsec than porn-driven pedophiles, leading to the difference in number of registrations at each honeypot.

> Had I been the FBI, they would have been caught.

Considering that no actual files were made available for download, and many of the visitors were likely researchers, there wouldn't be enough to prosecute, but given the implied level of security the actual pedos were using, the FBI could just search their computers and would likely find enough evidence.

>For instance, pedophiles form their own communities and within those communities, a sense of trust is developed.

Or, pedos aren't drawn from the same population that knows how to do stuff securely, they just read a guide or two on how to use Tor. I'd assume you could get "4-7%" of many groups of people to download something and run it, that doesn't show that pedos necessarily are more trusting. (In fact, I'd expect higher numbers from random internet users, thus implying that pedos are less trusting, which I'd expect at a minimum given the fact that they can access Tor).

Actually, it was a bad example.

Suppose you spend $1M to produce something worth $100k. You lost $900k.

But suppose you borrowed at 0% while inflation was (to use round numbers) 10%. After about 50 years of borrowing at 0%, your $100k is now worth more than $1M. (I'm too lazy to use logs to figure out the exact breakeven point right now.) You made a profit.

With 0% interest rates, your investment that destroyed $900k of value was (eventually) profitable. If you can avoid mark-to-market accounting, you can just borrow, wait for inflation, and eventually sell for a profit.

When interest rates are less than inflation, a capital-destroying investment can seem profitable.
Yes,

You get the feeling that the people manipulating the markets are ignorant of the basic psychology involved here.

The proper way to do this is to officially say: "We believe in letting markets find their value and we believe they are sounder than many think" while unofficially pumping money in like crazy.

It gives me the impression the credibility of the "new Mandarin" approach of China's rulers is being torn to shreds. Not sure what the upshot will be.
Maybe it's just me but I don't really like the tendency to treat pedophiles as if they are the devils themselves.

Let there be no doubt. I have two kids and there is probably no limit to what I would do to someone who did anything to my kids. But it's not as simply as just condemning pedophiles for being that and I ultimately think there is something morally or ethically questionable about this approach.

It's fairly well established that many pedophiles where in fact victims of pedophilia in their childhood themselves and so I would like to see a less hysteric and more balanced response to the issue.

Just because he is helping catching the bad guys does not give him the moral upper hand as he seem to think he has. Too bad such a complex issue gets treated with such brushing generalizations.

Maybe I am reading too much into what he writes, but these honeypots to hit random people just feels wrong to me. Like snooping on someone else life.

I too had the same question as the parent and from the ensuing conversations, I assume that either Docker is so thin-layered (not in a bad way) that it is open to so many interpretations or it is so thin-layered (in a trivial way), that one does not need to get all worked up adopting it if one is comfortable in using other VM options out there (like OpenVZ for example).

Vanguard Brokerage Services disclosure about order flow payment can be found at:

http://vrs.vista-one-solutions.com/reports/1-6/vang/

Short answer is that Vanguard Brokerage Services did not receive compensation for equities order flow in 1QTR 2015, but did receive compensation for options order flow.

I have no idea what the laws are surrounding their index funds or how those index funds are allowed to/actually do interact with Vanguard Brokerage Services.

Interestingly this kind of progression is mirrored in a previous link today about the "clock like nature" of technology press - nothing > glowing > skeptical > sacrificial.

I think it's just something in human nature to want to raise and nurture something successful - but past a threshold you become too much and are now something to vilify and despise. Seems like a good way to put it is that for successful people, the public says "We think you are a God, but as soon as you believe you are, we will kill you to prove that you aren't"

The level if information modern Python tools like those in PyCharm and JEDI can reason through to and discover about runtime behaviour is actually pretty impressive. I don't think it's going to pose a huge challenge for these kinds if tools to find. Dealing with ambiguous cases is a UI problem, too much info, not enough space.

Ah, sorry, I was just referring to the construction of FHE itself as a breakthrough. Several steps have been made that make FHE more efficient, but there's still a ways to go.

We're talking about fixed-size operations, so there's no notion of asymptotic expensiveness here, but yes, FHE "addition" and "multiplication" are very expensive.
what makes you think it will rebound?

>In his view the market would "succeed" if it would always go up? Strategist? Seriously?

No, I think the Chinese genuinely believed the stock market would channel the excess savings that households have into private and public companies in a controlled manner. There is a genuine mismatch, the households save more than 30% with no place to invest while the corporate sector is burdened with debt thanks to overgenerous lending after the financial crisis.

What was supposed to be a gradual 15-20 year stock rise and conversion of debt into equity has become a boom and bust in a year or so. It also looks like a lot of small time investors piled on at the peak and might be looking at large losses. So kind of sucks for the small time Chinese investor who was looking for some growth (since they cannot invest anywhere else - property is already bust)
You are claiming that AirBnB has illegally accessed your email account
without providing any proof whatsoever. Unless you have supporting
evidence that AirBnB is to blame, then you are mostly likely making a false claim here on HN. This is simply defamation.

Occam's Razor (and common sense) suggests the most likely culprit is the
one who is profiting from illegally accessing your email account, namely
the host you are trying to get a refund from and get suspended on AirBnB
for false advertising (not-as-described policy violations).

As for what you should do, the first thing should be obvious; change the
password on your gmail account, and fully scan all of your systems for
malware (including you phone if it has been used to access your gmail
account).

Next, call AirBnB directly and explain what has happened _without_
falsely accusing them of illegally accessing your email account.

The only reason why I have not flagged this submission is it would most
likely make the submission "[dead]" (invisible) and the stated policy
for "bad news" on HN about YC-funded companies is to let it stand.

(enable the "show dead" setting in your HN user profile if you want to
see all the spam submissions)

An interesting point I heard here I think, long ago...

The fact that tor is full of stuff like kidporn is actually a positive commentary on our society. It means that almost everyone, even people with wildly unpopular views, feel comfortable discussing them in the open. Tor isn't full of manifestos and political texts because people don't feel the need to hide that stuff.

I am sort of glad tor exists in spite of the nasty uses some put it to. It's like the modern equivalent of what having a well armed militia around was once supposed to achieve. It's like a backup system.

The Linux kernel has only one set of system calls. Everything you can do with Linux, you can do through it's syscall interface. Android doesn't change this, although it ships a different, more minimal libc.

The OSX kernel has two, due to it's bolt-on nature. Mach message passing and BSD system calls. As far as I am aware, the BSD system calls is an emulation layer, and is not entirely complete.

As a user, you don't care; the quirks of both systems are papered over by libc, which does the appropriate syscall dance to create a posix compliant system. (For an example of a Linux quirk, 'exit()' on Linux doesn't actually exit the process, it only exits the current thread).

That's a more high-flown version of what used to be called a "Java school": Pure job training, no theory, no concept of advancing the field. Also no concept of teaching people things which will be useful when the specific skills they learned are out of date, let alone skills which might transfer to other fields or have a non-obvious application in the CS field. English (as in "analysis of texts") comes to mind.

I'm not opposed to such schools, I just think they should advertise themselves honestly, and not try to compete with four-year schools for the same reason McDonald's doesn't try to compete with a steak house.
I find it odd that there's no universal system for blocking calls from specific numbers. I'm guessing you could implement a spam filter, so Harassment/telemarketing wouldn't be a problem.

This point is oftentimes overlooked. Also, the word "pedophile" is oftentimes conflated with "child molester", which makes it impossible to distinguish the individuals who are pedophiles but have not (and have no intentions to) act on those desires.

I found this article to be a worthwhile read on the latter situation: https://medium.com/matter/youre-16-youre-a-pedophile-you-don...

The war on drugs didn't work out as intended. The war on pedophilia seems much safer.

Except of course for teenage sexting. Where the legal system has ruined lives for no reason. Or the weird edge cases it introduces. Such as a theoretical case where someone wearing Go Pro comes across a pedophile actively abusing a child out in the wild. The good samaritan Go Pro wearer is now guilty of both production and possession of child pornography. The laws do not leave any room.

Tell me about it. Awhile back as a reason to learn some new things I setup a Tor hidden service/page crawler and a basic search engine. For troubleshooting purposes (and to see how popular the site was) I was logging what was being searched for. After about a two weeks of having the site up I shut it down because 90% of the searches were for child porn. As a Tor supporter it was kind of eye opening. I guess though if you had the logs for Google you might see something similar...
Exactly. Most people never actually distinguish between: Desiring, watching, touching and actual penetration.
Ask HN: I got offered a position at a startup, what do I do?
Recently I picked up a project and I started building out an MVP for a webapp for people that don't go to post-secondary schools and need to find a career path suitable for them. The current version is at https://raiseyourflag.com/en/. I am using MeteorJS as a stack for it for now. So far, it's only the CEO and me who are working on it. We had a consultant working with us if I had any questions (since I am not senior level experienced). However the CEO is very satisfied with the quality of work that I am doing and asked me to think about what I want in the nearest future. We are based in Toronto, Canada and I guess I am just looking for people who have been in similar situations. How much should I ask for? What's it like with equity? I think I'll be the main developer working on the project so does that put me in the CTO position? He is in his first stage of fundraising so I can't ask for too much but I really enjoy the project and want to stick with it so we are both comfortable.
nosys() is a stub which simply [EDIT: raises SIGSYS then] fails with ENOSYS, i.e. "syscall not implemented".
I disagree, and I think the problem is the framing. Call it rape porn, because it is. What would you think of someone trading files like "REAL video of ISIS soldiers gang raping and beheading girl!" Child porn, especially the "hard core" sort alluded to here, is in the same category.

I do dislike the OP's guilt by association and vigilantism though. There's a reason we have a proper justice system. Imagine if someone like this was mistaken about one of those email addresses. You could sue him to hell but the damage might be done.
Indeed, our current phone system makes it incumbent upon the person getting harassed to change their number. 25+ years ago there was someone angry at my parents that used to call in the middle of the night until they changed their (unlisted) number, over and over. Not sure why the person eventually stopped, I guess the game got old.

It kind of points to the fact that long before the internet existed, we were bad at building systems that allowed victims of harassment to have any recourse against abusers.
Glad to see some new cool stuff about Perl on Hacker News. The community is still very active, and a lot of very smart people are doing quite interesting things with it.
There is no "just be watching". If you watch a child getting raped, you are committing a crime and better have a very convincing argument why you had to do it. It is in fact that simple.

Of course they need help, too. We need both prosecution and prevention.
