VNC is a raster/pixel protocol. RDP uses Windows' drawing primitives.

So for anything that's not intrinsically raster (video, 3d rendering), RDP is certainly faster. :)
Criminal charges don't encompass the entirety of the potential consequences for the "perpetrators" revealing their identities. Go through a long list of famous people or people you know and ask yourself "how would their lives be impacted if it turned out they did the Max Hedroom hack". For many it would probably be inconsequential or likely beneficial, for some it would be disastrous. Consider, for example, if someone was working a job with a high degree of responsibility, perhaps involving security clearances, would they want to risk disclosure?

So how did you get to the point of writing a book on topics you didn't know about? I always thought the process was more like "well, I know this shit backwards in my sleep, I should write a book!"
I'm surprised no one has mentioned Esper yet: http://www.espertech.com/esper/

Esper does exactly this - you run streams of events over it and it continuously executes SQL to see if it matches. If so you can:

- run code

- make new streams

- store the results

Esper's been doing this kind of thing for 9 years now.
"The second-hand smoke nuisance has been eliminated in public places" only because of "the cult of anti-smoking". The antismoking laws that the Chamber of Commerce is lobbying against are those very same ones that ended smoking in public places in much of the developed world.
I've sold 1 ebook package and 1 complete package on Gumroad with about 5,000 page views so far. :P But sharing information is fun too, revenue generation isn't the #1 goal.
The article would have been better titled, "Pricing of artificial light through history," since its scope is limited to monetary cost.

When I saw "cost", I thought it might be about (or, at least, include a discussion of) the environmental and health effects of artificial light, such as problems with dark-sky astronomical viewing and disruption of natural sleep cycles.

It would also have been interesting to include artificial lighting that preceded the electric grid, such as gas, spermaceti ("whale oil"), etc.

Thanks for your post. I've also written a few code book but only have sold on gumroad. I'm going to try out amazon and leanpub as other sales channels to.

I didn't necessarily take him to be saying that. He is absolutely right that a market that is, quite literally, 100% passive would just sit there and not do anything -- it would just grow as money comes in, but there wouldn't be any relative movement of one share against another.

However, we are in no danger of running out of active traders, so there's no need for anyone to run out and sell their indexed investments to save the free market ...
It's been dropping pretty steadily so I'm leaning towards releasing an intermediate book with more web app exercises. Makes a great upsell, I can bundle it with the beginner book, I can do another kickstarter (maybe). So expanding the empire and trying to get more reach.

>Anyone can post any "advice' here. I explicitly stated that the class of advice you gave is not actionable or helpful. Not only is #5 not a particularly strong position, but the point I'm making is that statements that people have consensus about don't necessarily make advice that creates effective results.

Number 5/30 is around the top 15%. Consensus is not required for effective results. I never claimed such a thing, so why is this your point? Consensus is required for morality. Because morality is subjective it is impossible to conclude whether something is truly moral or immoral. Two people with different morals will have incongruent notions on good and evil. Thus for a concrete answer we turn to majority consensus. This is the entire reason why I brought it up. In short, consensus verifies that my advice is effectively moral.

>You are so tunneled into the idea that betrayal is bad, that you are missing how the business is an entirely different entity. There are employees, customers, and investors all potentially affected by this outcome. In the case of a breakup, there is potentially a greater moral obligation to create the best result for the other parties, than just fixate on the betrayal of the victim.

I am tunneled into the idea that betrayal is bad. It usually is, and this case does not deviate from the usual scenario. The business IS a different entity with separate moral obligations. These obligations are may intersect and be in conflict but that's not what I'm addressing. I'm addressing the betrayal not the complexities of life. These things are a given and it will be the OPs choice whether he wants to be moral to his friends, business partners or both. I apologize for not having the time to write a 200 page essay about the details on how he should handle every single separate moral obligation that could potentially be compromised by such a large decision.

>Not to mention your idea of this requiring moral punishment is not something that would draw consensus on HN, or in general. That is your fantasy, not reality.

When did I say he requires moral punishment. I'm suggesting a moral action. The consensus and I repeat again is not on some stupid requirement. People voted me up because they agree with the morality of the suggestion. If he takes my suggestion, the action will be moral in the eyes of majority consensus. I have no scientific evidence backing that claim up, but my intuition aka common sense tells me it is true.
> I feel as though the addiction springs from the person and not the drug

It springs from the interaction between the two; different drugs have different addictive qualities, different people have different susceptibilities to those addictive qualities. Individual extreme outliers -- in both the more easily addicted and less easily addicted directions -- for any particular drug are to be expected, and don't disprove the general feature.
Hey Chad, PipelineDB co-founder here. PipelineDB certainly isn't intended to be the only tool in your data infrastructure. But whenever the same queries are being repeatedly run on granular data, those are the types of situations in which it often makes a lot sense to just compute the condensed result incrementally with a continuous view, because that's the only lens it's ever viewed through anyways (dashboards are a great example of this). Continuous views can be further aggregated and queried like regular tables too.

In terms of not requiring that raw data be stored, a typical setup is to keep raw data somewhere cheap (like S3) so that it's there when you need it. But granular data is often overwhelmingly cold and never looked at again so it may not always be necessary to store it all in an interactively queryable datastore.

As I mentioned, PipelineDB certainly doesn't aim to be a monolithic replacement for all adjacent data processing technologies, but there are areas where it can definitely introduce significant efficiency.
To be fair, a default is not a rosy scenario by any means. It's the Troika that is trying to extend and pretend here.

The fact that Greek representatives acted in a manner that's the complete opposition of what they claimed they'd do once elected means that the country isn't that democratic. Thus, you can't implicate the people for voting on them.

Whatever scenario those politicians sold (and I have no idea what they are) are not relevant. They promised specific actions, and they broke that promise.

On Monday an index is made up of 100% MSFT, and it announces that on tuesday the index will be rebalanced to 100% APPL. The index has ETFs tracking it that are large enough to exhaust the availability of liquidity in both MSFT and APPL during a quick rebalance. Eventually over time the liquidity arrives to correct the mispricing, valuing things based again on underlying fundamentals. Both the index and the shareholders of the ETFs take a hit as the price of MSFT rises (no longer part of the index) and APPL (part of the index) lowers back down to normal, assuming no changes in fundamentals in the meantime.

The ETFs can be smart about it and try and make the trades over time instead of all at once, and Vanguard likely does. This then feeds back in and lowers the amount that the actual index takes a hit. The equilibrium in reality is that both the indexes and the shareholders in the ETFs take a bit of hit.
Finance is complex because:

1. If a transaction is complex, it's easy to sucker people into buying. Why would anyone buy a structured product?

2. If a transaction is complex, both sides can claim an immediate profit based on their idea of how it should be valued.

3. A lot of complexity in finance is driven by the fact that big banks can borrow at 0% while true inflation is higher. Via various derivatives, this government interest rate subsidy is packaged and sold. For example, I can't borrow at 0% to buy stock, but if I buy a call option, the bank can borrow at 0% to finance their hedge.

4. Because different people have different interest rates (banks borrow at 0%, large corporations borrow at 5%), banks can price a derivative at 3%, and both sides can LEGITIMATELY claim an immediate profit on the trade. (Bank borrows at 0% and lends at 3% to finance the derivative hedge. The corporation is borrowing at 3% instead of the 5% they normally would pay.)

As other people have noted, Kiwiland is known for more lenient sentencing and doesn't generally throw people in jail over trivial things. It still suffers from the vicissitudes of any legal system - run by humans, they're not perfect - but jail time for 'drunk posting'?

Similarly, I don't like your mechanism for success - a mere article on the front page of HN. For $265, what's to stop you writing an article and submitting it yourself? Your profile page clearly indicates your current handle as being intentionally anonymous so comments can't be traced back to you personally. And if your problem is that the law will be abused, why do you have no qualms in taking any article as being written in good faith, no matter the author?

And, even if you can provide a single counter-example, well, welcome to law. Sometimes false positives happen. That people get falsely convicted of rape or murder laws don't mean that rape or murder laws are an affront to freedom and must be disposed of. Laws are sledgehammers, not scalpels, and coming up with single counter-examples is worthless.

I'm also not personally interested in BTC. It's a farce - it's fun to play with for some and that's cool, but it's never going to be a functional currency. As I don't really find it fun (friends are fans), I've never bothered to get set up properly with it.

To sum up: no, I don't take your bet.

Edit: Writing your own article would actually be worth $530, since that's the delta between paying out and collecting winnings.

>The second-hand smoke nuisance has been eliminated in public places

Reduced, but not eliminated. People still smoke in far too many public spaces in the US. Try standing at the curb outside baggage claim at SFO or SJC. Or, outside many large office buildings.

The only place smoking should be legal is in the privacy of your own single-family detached home. Even then, only if you don't have any minors living there.
Levine does not think you should invest in actively-managed funds.

The little coda about active management makes more sense if you read him religiously, because this is a schtick of his. Passive management helps most investors. But the market as an entity benefits from active management, because active management makes prices more accurate. This despite the fact that for the most part, contributing to the accuracy of prices comes at the expense of the actively-managed funds.

So without active management, the passive funds would perform more poorly, because their prices wouldn't benefit from the corrections of people trading into them to profit from mispricing.
800 is pretty good to have out of the starting gate. The number one hardest thing I've found in self-publishing is to build a good following or email list. I'm around 500 subscribers at this point.

The problem with Java binaries on the client, was that the Java applet didn't have direct access to the DOM bindings.

Instead, the applet rendered it's own GUI via the plugin, and the look and behavior was inconsistent with the rest of the browser experience.

A similar story with activex and flash.

It's a mystery why it has taken so long to get to the point where we can target the browser with a statically-checked higher-level language that has API access to the native browser event loop and dom components the same way that Javascript does it.
This is called the "index rebalancing" trading strategy. Prop desks and hedge funds have known about it for decades. A lot of money is passively benchmarked to many popular indices provided by the likes of S&P, DJ, Nasdaq, etc... One reason people invest in funds that track these indices is because they believe the index provider is a good benchmark for whatever its tracking. For example, the S&P 500 tracks the 500 largest US names. The Nasdaq 100 tracks the 100 biggest (mostly tech-related) names that are Nasdaq-listed. etc... In addition to being a good benchmark, a set of rules (here are S&Ps: https://us.spindices.com/documents/methodologies/methodology...) are published by the index provider that govern how stocks are added and removed to the index. Understanding these rules allows arbitrageurs (aka market-makers) to predict when names are moving before they are announced by the index provider. Since a fair amount of capital is already tracking these indices, the passive indexer will be required to buy/sell the names in the index in the right proportion so as to be properly benchmarked.

Another interesting point is that the Volcker Rule has more or less caused a massive shift of this type of strategy away from US investment banks and into hedge funds. I don't have real data on this - just my observations.

What advantage does this have over spiped[1]? Since there's not really a good way to distribute public keys, you really need to just put them on a thumb drive and walk them over to the person that wants them. And if you're doing that, you might as well give the person a shared secret.

Which is unsurprising, because Rob Pike was openly influenced by Oberon in the design of both Acme and the original Plan 9 windowing system 8½ and its current successor rio.

Oberon exploits it further, though. Plan 9 does use chording, programmable text and plumbing but only insofar as it complements the synthetic file system interface, whereas Oberon is more thoroughly object-oriented and can have the text serve as a pointer to various OS subsystems, creating a sort of graphical continuation-passing style, as I alluded.
There's an interesting question that arises from this though: are more people now addicted to sugar because everyone is now aware of the terrible results of long term smoking (but aren't as aware of the problems with sugar)? Should we have warning labels on packs of sugar too?
When they clear their shelves of all the soda, sugary and corn based snacks and fake medications (homeopathic garbage) then I'll begin to take their concern for health seriously. Obesity and diabetes is a far greater health risk than cigarettes. Cigarettes are awful for many reasons and they smell bad but corn and HFCS based foods make sick and kill a lot more people (and cost society much more!) than cigarettes.

It's no wonder than countries with high rates of smoking (France, Japan) who have diets that lack all the garbage the CVS's of the world peddle have some of the highest life expectancies.

Smokers are just an easy, minority target to vilify and it needs to stop.
This isn't IEEE 754 floating point, but rather Javascript floats. For example, it gets (n!=0)/0 wrong by using the javascript NaN value instead of the IEEE 754 value of +-Infinity. For a playground like this, I think that it would be interesting to show how IEEE 754 and Javascript differ -- division by zero, the max function, etc.

Edit: I had misremembered one of the differences. Javascript does get division by zero correct. The biggest differences are in the comparisons, Javascript propagates NaNs more frequently.
It seems to me that prestige is a combination of fame and selectivity; a school is prestigious if everyone has heard of it, but few get in. A long history is certainly helpful (a ranking of UC schools by age would probably correspond to a ranking by prestige), but I think that a genuinely good product and clever marketing should be able to bridge the gap.
