This only address the issue of government surveillance of email through service provider backdoors. Since this would as well require auto software update to be as user friendly as the video advertise, you might as well give up the same amount of security for a service that is hosted in a liberty-friendly nation and not have to deal with SMTP flagging and home power issues.
I think it depends on what it takes to find out if your service is right for me, which is dependent on the type of product you have.

For Zencoder, for instance, I wanted to know if I can interface with their API, and do so effectively and easily. So Zencoder offers a free tier, but the encoding is capped at ~5 seconds. I can't actually use their service as a product, but I can use it as a test and development bed. There were competitors I did not evaluate because I could not evaluate them as easily.

So the question becomes, what does it take for your service to offer a trial, so that I can determine it's value to me?
Hi, Elixir creator here, thanks for commenting! You may want to watch my talk at Erlang Factory SF 2015: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lqo9-pQuRKE

Elixir is not really about the syntax, we have great tooling, our own standard library (with proper Unicode support, collections, unified API for dictionaries, etc) and our own approach to some constructs in OTP.

Feel free to ping here if you have any questions. I will make sure to check this thread again later.
IMHO yes. It makes one-handing game-playing a pain, but for videos, walls of text, and the like, I love it. Disclaimer: had a Samsung Note II and hated it. So clearly it's not the form factor that was bugging me...
Gosh, can I join you? I bought this game ages ago and have never been able to play it.

IME you only need one BBC Micro to recreate an 80s classroom.

At my school circa '82-'85 we had a beeb, a PET and two (different) Research Machines boxes that ran CP/M. That was all for the whole school, and with it we somehow managed to produce a remarkable portion of the UK's games programming talent.

A meta-problem for many startups: selling to SMBs at scale at a reasonable cost.

Lots of small businesses can unlock significant value with better software, and could be convinced to pay for it. But the upfront cost of acquiring those customers is too high to make it worthwhile.

If you could offer a highly-curated marketplace, you could spend the customer acquisition cost once and sell to them over and over again, so they're buying all their IT through you, trusting you to vet the products and get over their risk-aversion. You could sell bundled solutions that are guaranteed to interoperate out of the box, lowering per-transaction integration costs.
From what I've heard, keep in mind I have a bad memory and am not an expert, your eyes are supposed to work just as much if not more than while using a regular screen. You will focus your eyes all over, while on a 2d screen, you keep your eyes on the same position (center of screen, 20 inch away) for the duration of your gameplay.
There is probably no spy agency in any developed country that can rival the reach, effectiveness and immediacy of the NSA.

So this kind of industrial espionage is a huge unfair trade advantage, at least from the victim's point of view.

I wonder how long it's going to be until Europe levies an NSA trade tax against US goods and services.

My father just started a consulting company relating to logistics, he has 20 years experience in high volume transport. Would you be interested in speaking with him? I can shoot him an email to see if he'd be interested in working with you.

Just a thought.

This is notable in my mind as I can't recall a "reverse-acqui-hire" of this size quite like this. What I mean is, usually it is the MSFTs/GOOG/APPLs of the world scooping out chunks of tech talent from smaller firms or taking them over altogether, not the other way around.
Providing an option for manual forwarding for power users or the slightly paranoid would be nice. I use a paid email service (Fastmail) to minimize data mining, so I can't just make a new account for online shopping. I'd have to either pay for a new account or set up a free one, but giving my purchase history to Google, Microsoft, or Yahoo, would largely defeat the purpose of my paid email account. Amazon already collects enough data on me.

I really like the idea of the service, though. It just doesn't work for me as it is right now...
> I assume that means they are offering that if someone hacks a bitcoin wallet and gives them the proceeds, they will share a fraction of the stolen assets.

I'd assume that what they're saying is: if you provide information that lets them identify Hufflepuff, and they successfully sue him for the money, then they'll reward you.

My interpretation doesn't require you to have control of the bitcoins at any point, and also explains why they provided their information about the guy.

Allow me a small tale.

I remember on #lisp at Freenode IRC, there was a helpful soul that would help folks by telling them to click a link. Upon landing on the page, the person being helped would see a mirror of the helper's Emacs buffer being updated live as they coded against a Lisp image and the results would show.

That's probably true based on what I've heard. (Though I've never flown them and hope to keep it that way.) Spirit in the US is apparently pretty bad too. However, they're pretty much all governed by the same calculus that a lot of people are going to buy their tickets based on whichever fare is lowest. There's some wiggle room on service quality within that constraint but not a whole lot.
I wonder how much of this had to do with using alcohol as a primary source of nutrition and method of food preservation.

Perhaps the best way to preserve all the new world crops (including corn, potatoes, and numerous fruits and vegatables) was to ferment them? Old world wheat is very dry to start with, making it easy to store for long periods. But new world staples are much harder to preserve - what else could you do if you haven't discovered bacteria or pasteurization, invented refrigeration or canning, and need to feed everyone year round?

With farm output preserved through fermentation, alcohol would have been extremely cheap as well - I would guess significant cheaper than fresh foods during winter months.

The Editor needs to do all kinds of complex window management, and other stuff, and also uses all sorts of 3rd party middleware (like Enlighten, for global illumination) that wouldn't work as being part of the runtime itself.

The editor is, however, largely written in Unity (uses the same APIs, etc, in addition to a bunch of private ones).
At first I was "Oooh, I like board games!" but then I was "aww, Sorceforge" and then later I was "Aww, Java". I'll stick with Tabletop Simulator for now, but you'd think something like this could be implemented in plugin-free HTML5 by now.
Isn't the real problem with "economic espionage" who the NSA gives the info to? By picking and choosing who gets the info, the NSA/executive branch isn't really letting the free market make the choices any longer. There could be political implications, giving info to companies that do campaign contributions, or lobby more expensively.
Yes thats very annoying don't do that. Requiring login for commenting/chat is ok, but just for viewing is not.

Basically the rules of the game are there are no rules. Whoever can steal anyone's secrets does and probably should or risk being left behind.

If you are individual to corp 1099 contractor, let the YC startup know that if you are not paid within certain time, you will be filing a report to State Dept. of Labor and State Attorney General. Labor claims get much higher priority during liquidation. The $8K might be too high for small claims court other wise a lien through court judgement is very effective.

Don't just walk away thinking it was cost of doing business and cost of your "stupidity". Such actions just enable people and companies like these to exploit others. As it is a YC startup and in SF, when you talk to anyone (offline) in SF area, just sneak in the mention how you were wronged by YC startup and founders. SF startup community is connected and words get around. Reputation is important.

As a lesson for the next time, don't ever work for anyone on contract without taking advance payment and/or have more than one pending invoice.

I work in financial data analysis and I use a saying. Never ever give someone benefit of doubt in discussions or business transaction or believe someone because of their background, pedigree, and how well known they are. If you do, there is a Madoff and LTCM waiting around the corner to clean you out.

Edit: clarification. You should start with a letter/email to founders requesting payment within a certain time frame, for example 2 weeks. After 2 weeks, send founders another email/letter requesting payment within 3 days and mentioning you will take further actions if not paid such as reporting to DOL and AG both in CA and NY as well as reaching out to advisers, investors and shareholders of the startups. After 3 days, start a letter/email campaign pleading for intervention by the advisers, investors and shareholders of startup mentioning you prefer not having to resort to legal and regulatory means and hope they can intervene to resolve the situation and it doesn't reflect nicely on them personally being associated with such startup and founders... blah blah blah. Wait a few days and then file complaint to DOL/AG mentioning the steps you took to resolve the issue, mention names of all people you contacted.
From the requirements for the demo:

"used at least three modern and open source frontend or client side web technologies" ... “Modern” is to be understood as any technology or standard released, created, initiated or finalized in the 5 years preceding the release of this RFQ."

That's an amusing requirement. Do they really want vast amounts of browser-side crap? From the list of Javascript client-side libraries in Wikipedia, almost all of them are more than 5 years old.[1] JQuery is over 10 now.

There's also "used at least three “human-centered design” techniques or tools". Whatever that's supposed to mean. Here's IDEO's presentation on "human centered design."[2] You can take a seven-week course on it.

No, it's the same thing as the dumb guy in a hole. They already know this guy has an edge over them. The more he plays, the worse that gets.

But, as you pointed out, they can't ban him, because they have no way of recognizing him when he walks back in.
France's intelligence agencies are known to engage in this same kind of economic espionage, including against the US.

Not that that necessarily makes it right for us to do it, but any outrage from France's government is feigned.

Hey, Jamie from Livecoding.tv :) We decided to focus on products in the beginning as we really wanted to help people succeed in building something from A-Z, not just learn a portion of it.

That said, we definitely have a broader focus now and have people doing all sorts of amazing things with code, so thanks for your suggestion!

Classification of streams is also something we are hoping to improve over time so we really appreciate your feedback!
Since the player was making hundreds of simultaneous requests, it sounds like a race condition in the casino's server-seed mechanism where the player was able to get the server-seed of future bets.

Obviously, the server only wants to divulge the server-secret of closed-out bets so that you can verify them as provably fair.

It's not so strange after reading a number of these HN comments.
Tries ain't easy. It's no surprise that a naive trie is bested by a naive hashtable, especially where the number of entries is dwarfed by the capacity of the hashtable. The gold standard for a trie is probably the Judy array[1], which I've heard has some patents on it, but I can't confirm.

Judy arrays obtain their performance by using a myriad range of possible leaf and branch nodes. The goal is to fit as much data that could be used for decision making and branching in the first cache line that would be read. And in the case of very sparse tries this pays off handsomely.

That said, hash tables are really hard to beat. They are susceptible to denial of service attacks though.

In Europe they ask you to take off shoes only if they are suspecting something. Like, for <5% of people. I had an unlucky pair of shoes with steel parts which always beeped on the screening machine, so they always asked to take them off, but in no other case.

Well, when "not invented here" is accompanied by "not invented anywhere else, either", we usually just call it "invented".
This is actually the case in at least one public example[1].

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on Wednesday filed a lawsuit in federal court in Philadelphia against Bonan Huang and Nan Huang, saying the analysts used the nonpublic data to trade in the shares of consumer retail companies ahead of sales and earnings reports.
The lawsuit said from November 2013 to January 2015, the two analysts, who had access to the data as fraud investigators, made hundreds, if not thousands, of keyword searches for sales data on at least 170 publicly traded companies.
The SEC said the two employees were able to analyze the data to determine if a company's sales were increasing or decreasing on a periodic basis.

Three fun truths:

* France is one of the most notoriously brazen state sponsors of industrial espionage, especially within the EU.

* This stuff is rampant between all the industrialized nations. You can find stories going back decades about Americans being evicted from embassies over industrial espionage. Somehow, we all seem to remain allies.

* Technically --- modulo the "getting caught" part --- this is what NSA is supposed to be doing. That's a positive assertion, not a normative one!

Curious how we never seem to see Russia as the focus of Wikileaks releases. They must just be really respectful of the civil liberties of citizens of the world.
Initially we did it because we only had a small server cluster, but you are right, this is a requirement we should remove.
It very much depends on where you are coming from. If you're from the USA or Canada the UK would be your first choice, Germany your second.
I used to do this using termcast.org (via telnet). It's a simple and lightweight way to show people what you're coding.
Definitely agree with this, minus the 2nd duplicate account. That is not OK and they absolutely have the right to refuse payment on the 2nd attempt.

Going after the person on a bitcoin forum and attempting to demand repayment is a joke, however. How did Primedice think that was going to work out for them?

There are multiple symmetries (or near symmetries) in the construction of the post and the argument itself.

>There are plenty of casios, and many of them comply with the law.

>There are plenty of Nazis , and many of them comply with the law.

Basically, if you believe the first sentence is legitimate, I have shown you a second sentence that is of equally legitimate construction. It is grammatically correct and has real semantic meaning. In fact, it is a true statement, just as the first statement (probably) is.

The fact that the second statement is true and is as legitimate as the first might strike a reader and cause them to think more about it.

Nazis rose to power by crafting law and used it to drive people to do things they wouldn't have otherwise. When some of those people were caught and tried for their actions, some of them argued that they did nothing wrong because they were merely complying with the law.

The sentences in comparison make the (implicit) argument that 'complying with the law' is somehow relevant to the exculpation of the actions of the entity in question. Many consider this to be absurd.
How Investors Can Ruin a Startup
All the things you've mentioned apply to pretty much every European nation.

The US is the outlier in the civilized world when it comes to labour protection.

Also, funny how every time people start to bitch in general terms about entrepreneurship in a European nation, it always comes down to one thing: you can't treat employees as expendable assets.

BTW, "It's really hard to get French people to adopt the latest trends." The place must be a horror for the fashion industry...
I think the strangeness for me is that the article is written from the casino's perspective. They went so far as to dox the 'culprit' and are portraying him in a negative light in the article.

Yeah, you have to consider in west Europe is valued very high by everyone the "stability of work" because it allows you, as a employee, to live with less stress and with more chances to make long-term investments (family, children, buying an house, etc) and so keeping the economy and welfare up and stable.

Basically US is very employey/corporation-centric, while EU puts a lot more importance on employees (that are the majority of people by the way)

That is an amazingly dickish comment and shows me you're not even attempting to see my side. Then again, as a skateboarder you're likely operating at a completely different level of physical control in comparison to the average citizen that you couldn't see my side even if you tried.

Do note that the important point is not the question of "how to stop in time?" but of "ugh, the procedure of stopping here is quite annoying, i'd rather go on".

This is getting overly complex, so I'll try and summarise.

This paper uses a disingenuous comparison of the Maps Search section of Google's results with one augmented with Yelp feedback. What is shown is that more users will click the links when they have higher reviews.

However. Yelp flat out refuses to provide this information, and in fact if they were to be added to the results they couldn't feature in this section.

This 'logic' is then used to say it is illegal for Google to provide any more specific but still search based media on their page unless every single third party provider of similar search services consents to being included on the listings.

It's pure FUD.
