This does that. There's nothing saying that individual query elements have to hit the database directly. Besides authz (which others have mentioned), you have the potential for various caching strategies as well as letting the backend make cost decisions in general about where to get things. It could be that you mostly pass through to a Datomic. It could also be that each element hits a different microservice. The point is that your client doesn't know this or care.

Aperture tiles
They could and that is one of the models. It's a very niche, tiny group that would. I mostly saw developments in high-end smartcards, premium guards in defense, custom work for government/commercial by contractors in high assurance... that's pretty much it. There's so little work in high security field that I straight up left it and now mainly do R&D on various problems. Even NSA uses HAIPE and SCIP internally for Type 1 (their best) stuff. They clearly didn't trust SSL/TLS, even default IPsec, from the get go. Most just use whatever is cheapest with majority of those buying "certified" products doing it for extra government sales and false due diligence (C.Y.A.).

That includes banks. They get breached all the time in various ways while trying to hide it or obscure what exactly happened. I've seen this myself. One said the industry goal is to keep their losses at about 6% or less of risky revenues. They have just enough security (and incompetent enemies) to achieve this. The other trick is "investing in" politicians to keep liability laws in their favor to block most lawsuit risk. Past these two, most banks are focused on just cranking out more profit. Just like everyone else.

Post-Snowden, we've seen increase demand for real security. Yet, it requires you to ditch a fully-featured OS, most Internet functionality, a bit of performance, and a significant chunk of the wallet. Further, the widespread use of IT and security that are shit makes most people not know what a strong offering would even look like. These combine to make the sales process for high security an uphill battle. Not likely to change: even I tell new people interested to treat it as a hobby and do mainstream INFOSEC practices to ensure job security. We embed our style invisibly where we can, though. ;)
Personally I'm glad some random guy can't hand off a whole bunch of IPs to the FBI and tell them they're all pedophiles. I'm sure it would cost thousands of dollars to sift through the data too, and would be pretty useless seeing as the guy wasn't hosting child porn.

Besides, taking down these pedophiles might be "fun" to some people, but if you really want to help children you need to go after the people producing/hosting child pornography.
You are on point Dre!

You could technically use the extra time for leisure. But you know that for some people the time would be just be filled with more work. I think it will greatly depend on the status quo of the field and one's personality.
Nicotine is directly harmful to your heart.

One of the more interesting bits of trivia about nicotine and caffeine is it is the mode of delivery that makes nicotine so addictive. If you smoked caffeine it would be as addictive as nicotine. Given we now have vaping it should be possible to smoke caffeine - I haven’t looked, but I would not be surprised if someone out there is selling smokable caffeine.
> Because it sure as shit not going to go back up

Of course it will. It's not even down on the year.

It's profit taking which triggered a whole bunch of stop-losses, margin calls and panic selling. Wait for the volatility to die down, and buy H-shares (or A-shares if you have the stomach).

To understand why it's going down so fast, you need to understand how fast it went up. As it stands today, the SSE is still up almost 100% in the last 12 months...
OOP as originally articulated by Alan Kay is not the same thing as what's represented by C++, Java, et al.

The original idea was that since a computer can simulate anything (including a better computer), that computers should be the smallest things you would want to recapitulate in a system. These computers (objects) would communicate by passing messages. Each object is the interpreter for the messages that are sent to it (similar to how your laptop interprets messages you send to it via the keyboard, or how another computer communicates to it through a network interface card - objects are also parsers). Crucially, in real OOP, objects are Turing-equivalent computers, and systems are composed of objects that communicate by passing messages. You're using an exemplar of such a system right now.

In fact, Dr. Kay has lamented that he didn't call it something like "Message Oriented Programming" since messages were the actual big deal.
> I'd be interested in some specific examples of policies the GOP supports that the Democrats don't support that aren't beneficial to small businesses.

I suppose this is more of an example of a policy that they oppose, but some kind of healthcare reform to produce a working insurance market for individual and small-time purchasers (i.e. not big corporations buying group plans) comes to mind as something that benefits small businesspeople. Interestingly the U.S. Chamber of Commerce did support Hillarycare in the '90s, but changed its mind later.

Maybe we have different definitions of small businessperson, but I also don't know any (across several industries) who make the $400k+ post-deductions needed to be in the top marginal tax bracket. Not only in tech, but also in traditional small-business areas like dry-cleaning, the restaurant business, repair shops, or small-scale retail, only the most successful owners clear anything near that. What definition of small businessperson has most small businesspeople being in this bracket?

The vast majority of gun violence in the US is gang / drug based. We have a violence problem, not specifically a gun problem. Thats due to a number of issues like poverty, lack of education, drugs, and the cycle of poorer people going in and out of prison.

Excluding suicides, the rest is what I consider the cost of our country owning guns. We will never have the utopia of zero gun violence with 300,000,000 privately owned firearms in this country and the 2nd amendment isn't changing anytime soon.

What we could reduce though are the problems I outlined first. Poverty, education, drug use, and the jail cycle. Those are harder problems than just pointing at guns though, so they don't get suggested as much.
I went to school for commercial photography and like most young photographers, if you can't land a good job in the industry you freelance.

The years I spent being a freelance photographer taught me a lot about running a business, but I ultimately fell in love with the freedom. Years later I read Tim Ferris' 4-Hour Work Week and knew I wanted more work/life balance than I was getting working for an agency.

Because ordinary people likely gambled with their savings, and since they're not as savvy as the hedge-funds and professionals, they stand to lose quite a bit.

But yes, it would be better to let the market figure itself out. Valuations did get a little out of control, hence the large crash.
I was hopelessly addicted to cigs from ages 18 to 21. I'm talking two packs a day, lighting up before getting out of bed, smoking while eating, etc.

I quit nearly cold turkey (one month ramp down) and didn't touch one for about a decade. A few years ago I went through a "social smoking" phase for a few months where I'd bum a couple while out drinking, or during the day here and there. Maybe totaled like ten cigs a week or so.

There is a huuuuge difference. Social smoking is real.

Well, the XPCOMs represent the bytecode in your opinion. One still can't get an XPCOM for FF to work on FFoS, I meant the simplest one without making huge changes to the code base. Yes, one UI engine is needed and so is a (cross-)compiler in your case OR alteration of the code base for FFoS of FF to ensure portability. I guess it would be the FFoS code base that might need to change. BUt that could be tricky since it leverages the Andriod's core - a component-based linux OS.
I have been using pen input since 2009 when I started university, and am glad that they're finally gaining traction as mainstream input devices.

The only problem is most of these new pens are actively powered by the annoyingly rare AAAA battery. I haven't been able to find a rechargeable AAAA from a reputable manufacturer yet. And the very fact that they require manual battery swaps is unacceptable in this day and age IMHO.

This is why my newest laptop was a HP Elite X2 1011 that I paid through the nose for, but at least has an older generation passive Wacom pen that does not require a battery.

If any laptop/tablet makers are reading this, please replace the AAAA battery slot in these active pens with Li-ion batteries and allow them to automatically charge from the laptop when placed into their holders.
Of course they did. I trade in China myself, and I'm a 'retail' investor (thankfully I got my money out awhile back, the valuations got silly so I just took profits). Every major bank from every country has a trading presence in Hong Kong at the very least, and many trade in Shanghai too.

If it makes you feel better, the smart money is already out, that's what triggered the crash in the first place. Now everyone who took out margin is trying to get out, and eventually the market will level out. Probably much sooner than people expect.
"pedophiles use encryption, so encryption is the devil." seems to be where this is going. That's a slippery slope and a bit unethical to use pedophiles to push an authoritarian political agenda. I bet it's fun to call all his critics pedophile sympathizers and sit upon a moral high-horse of self-righteousness while pushing his authoritarian ideology under the guise of social justice.. That's the thing about these people, they take on social issues for which they can't be criticized without the criticizer looking like a pedophile, racist, or a misogynist. I guess it gives them a sense of power.

Assuming the current business model (free, with no ads), HN's valuation as a stand-alone business should be negative, since it will lose money (hosting, moderation and maintenance costs) as long as it keeps operating.

If there was a commercial competitor to HN, it would have to be significantly better than HN to attract users away from HN. HN's biggest attraction is a relatively small number of very knowledgeable and interesting users, and that would be very difficult for any commercial competitor to duplicate. And without such a user base, an HN competitor would also probably have a pretty low valuation.

Science will only look more and more foolish and they attempt to reduce all life to chemical interactions and deny they exist at all.

Such philosophical principals of atheism were dealt with thousands of years ago in philosophical debates between Hindus and Buddhists. Such dialogue and defense of the self lasted hundreds of years and objections by the new philosophies of the Buddhists were adequately answered by scholars. One can see how Buddhism withdrew from its birthplace as it failed to take hold.
If we live in a democracy, and money is backed by the state, why do we have to pay interest to profit-making banks and insurance companies?

Giving out mortgages is not difficult. You just have to be a bank. Not only that but 2007 showed that profit-making banks are even worse than a reasonable person, or precocious five year old, would be at deciding who should be given a mortgage.

Mortgages are a necessary part of society. Profit-making banks are not.

The only reason you spend your life slaving away paying extra interest to the shareholders of banks, is because banks have manoeuvred themselves into a privileged position. Inequality is not an accident of the system, it is the point of the system.

> You need a mortgage because you don't have $400,000 in cash sitting around.

And a large part of why housing costs $400,000 in the first place is due to the availability of mortgages. Mortgages gave themselves a reason to exist.

The crawler project was a project on its own but after discovering that the many of the discovered sites were pedophile-related, I started to shut down the spider. Then I figured, what the heck, maybe I can hack around on Tor and see how close I can come to determining their real identity. For those that chose to run the scanner, their identity was revealed (name, IP, and enough of a hardware footprint to identify their machine).
Finance is just a set of tools. Just like anything else it really comes down to the moral fiber of the individual wielding that tool.

Fischer Black and Myron Scholes weren't sitting in front of their white board thinking about all the people they could rip off. They were genuinely trying to find a way to price options as a tool to mitigate risk.

I can use a hammer to build a house or sink the hammer into my enemies head. Either way, it's still a hammer.
> GOP health care policy strongly favors small business owners.

Most small business owners that I know would prefer single-payer health care to avoid the distraction of employer-sponsored coverage. Also, the people I've known who have expressed interest in quitting their jobs to start their own business cite health care as one of the main reasons for why they've been unwilling to pull the trigger, and this is especially true for those who have children. But the people I know may not represent the majority of small business owners.

A little later in the article there is an entire section devoted to his findings that many visitors of the site were predators seeking to do more than look at photographs. In addition,

> Many visitors offered photos from their “private collection” as a means to bribe me for entrance to the website. They took care to note that the material they were offering me was original.
As a father of a little girl, this is a depressing read for me. Yes in the back of my mind I know this stuff is going on but it's really sad seeing the collection of data showing people who are partaking in this stuff.

Also this gave me a nasty flashback of looking at filenames (never content) of deleted files in the process of gathering evidence against a family member who now sits on the registered sex offender list...
I must say, even reading the article made me feel quite uneasy. I can't imagine doing this myself, but if it leads to the capture of some pedophiles then I tip my hat to this person.
> New Labour in the UK don't have a better record on technological civil liberties.

Yes, absolutely. That is one downside to this approach (and there are more). Even though you are moving the data to the calculations, I would still contend that this approach can be as efficient, if not more efficient, depending on how well your app layer is scaled. However, this is the challenge of designing software, weighing the pros and cons and making the best decision based on your situation.

It was 4-7%. I pre-wrote the article estimating the final numbers and then shut down the site two days early. Traffic dropped suddenly leading me to believe something was up.

The exit node IP is not totally useless. It's enough to prompt a knock on your door by the authorities. Granted, once they recognize you're running an exit node there's nothing they can do (otherwise Charter could also be held liable) but still, it can prompt an action by the authorities.

My guess that they some were researchers: at least one came from a university IP address while others were very bare-bone machines with minimal running services, possibly virtual machines or test boxes.

> None of the websites contained any illegal content. Since I am not a legal authority (nor an expert in the law), I had to scale back the content. No illegal pictures nor files existed on any of the sites. In fact, each site contained exactly one image – a decorative background image to give the site a bit of flair (hidden service sites are notoriously lean). None of the honeypot sites explicitly offered to provide illegal content and instead, served to lure the user in by a vague promise of what may be found behind the locked door. Admittedly, this was a huge disadvantage over a FBI-driven honeypot and likely the reason why many visitors did not register and quickly moved on after landing on the home page.

Later on he explains,
