Are you seriously arguing for arbitrary units rather than consistent ones, because "you buy larger sizes of bags"? Every piece of food has nutritional information at the back, with columns for 100 grams and one serving.

You're arguing that the serving size should unrealistically small, rather than the whole bag, because it doesn't work for every case? For every coke bottle this fails, I have five cans it succeeds for. Nobody drinks a third of a can of coke.

Oh right you could just do a 1 liner.

Expecting the go builtin functions to be correct is a pretty safe bet. Used by thousands of people and built to stop problems like buffer overflows, vs something you wrote yourself.

Using a popular library in a language with unsafe builtin types would achieve a similar effect, as long as the library was code reviewed, etc, but the point is that safer languages don't require you to take that extra step. Use them idiomatically and entire classes of exploits will not be possible through your code.

As for timing attacks, if you are making cryptographically sensitive code you really should be using a crypto library and not anything you made yourself.

Thanks for the response. Your assumption is correct in that I'm talking about software.

I agree with your comments and it definitely makes sense. My only worry is that investors will want to see that the technology is protectable before investing with their main fear being that the technology can be duplicated once people get insight into the methodology.

I'm deeply saddened by the demise of Dr. Kalam. He inspired me a lot when I was a kid back in school. His books "Ignited Minds" and "Wings of Fire" are highly inspiring and are filled with hope for India.

His passion was to inspire and ignite young minds and encourage them to propel India on a global scale. His numerous interactions with school children, political leaders, industrialists and scholars have a common theme - India can do it.

On small example of how he always tries to look out for the benefit of everybody: "A school in Madurai had organized an event and invited Dr. Kalam as the chief guest. He initially declined the invitation saying that it would benefit only private school students. Then the school had to modify their plans and invited over 500 students from various other government schools in the vicinity to attend the event too. Only then did he agree to be the chief guest of the event. "
As an abstract idea / bitcoin experiment this is cool. As a company this is a disaster.

Its amazing you can fund a company these days with a statement like "the business model is yet to be discovered - we’ll probably provide paid-for oracle hosting services, or launch/invest in some smart contracts ourselves."

That basically is a business model of "we have no business model or intention of ever making any money - if people stop giving us money perhaps we can host a virtual yard sale - btw bitcoin is cool!!!!!

I think my explanation was better than Mr. Yglesias's, if I do say so myself: https://devinhelton.com/2013/01/20/economic-classes/

Automation has increased productivity in many areas. But there are multiple factors of production: labor, natural resources, zoned residential land near jobs. Plus there are other limits to production, such as monopolies and regulation. So if just automation improves, production only increases and prices only fall to a point, until natural resources, marketing, and monopoly profits make up the bulk of the cost. As a 22-year-old entering the job market, all you have is your labor to trade, but you need access to natural resources and constrained goods like housing. Since automation makes your labor less valuable, you actually need to work just as many hours or more to get the same purchasing power. Worse, you end up in a zero-sum game of marketing and sales, where everyone works just to get ahead of everyone else.

A.P.J. Abdul Kalam was a true symbol of "The Indian Dream". Born to a boatman, walking miles to school, born before the convenience of computing and the internet - his journey to becoming the President of India is truly remarkable and inspiring at the same time.

I saw the picture of him falling just before his death, and i am disturbed. This man made the country stand on its feet technologically and here he falls amidst his students as he wished his death to be.

He is the most loved by all, he kept inspiring people to dream bigger. He never relented to retiring. He tirelessly spread his message going to schools and colleges. He is symbolic of an aspiring nation. A nation waiting to unleash its potential - he always asked his countrymen to earn respect through strength since strength respects strength.

His journey will be talked for decades to come, and he truly has become immortal. He has inspired a generation and will inspire more generations through his books and speeches. A saint at heart and a pure soul that worried about humanity and world peace - this man is the best citizen any country would die to have. A role model who transcends caste, creed , languages and religion in a country like India that is so diverse. A binding force in our country.

I am proud to have lived to see him. I am proud to be an Indian.

Every once in a while a great person descends to earth, he is one of them. A saint, a gentleman, a scientist, an orator, a poet, a writer , the greatest teacher, The President of India - various though your roles, you were focused and dedicated. Your soul is so pure, your voice will echo through this nation for decades ahead.

The nation skipped a heartbeat at the news of your death. You have lit a fire, we will spread the wings of this fire that you have lit.

Salutes, to you sir! We will love you now and forever.

Yeah. If you can do a good job predicting in advance how long long a given memory access is going to take then VLIWs work pretty well.

He mentioned recognizing it as a national day and not necessarily a 'holiday'. There are numerous days when students pay their respect to a great personality and continue with their regular activities. This could be one such day.

Moreover I read somewhere that Dr. Kalam himself wanted people to work harder on his death day and not take a holiday. Not sure if that is misattributed to him, but I'm sure his thoughts would have been similar.

Employees have no reason to do the right thing by the company - the best thing an employee can do for himself is get paid all the money. It's hard to see why their stake is higher than a vendor. In both cases, they have rendered a service in return for money and have no further stake in the company.

Overall, employee involvement in decisionmaking creates significant principal/agent problems. Consider this article, which suggests many employees care so little about shareholder value that they will sacrifice the latter for petty revenge against third parties (their boss): http://www.nytimes.com/2015/06/21/opinion/sunday/is-your-bos...

Using fixed point for drawing lines rather than Bresenham's is nothing new.

The thing is that Bresenham is resolution-independent. If the registers used have enough width to represent the coordinates of the entire display, then the line will be drawn correctly. The error term that is propagated through the loop is always precisely correct. There is no cumulative error from using approximations.

You can think of Bresenham's as being like fixed point, but with a variable denominator for the error term which depends on the specific delta. For instance if we are drawing 600 across (x) and 450 up (y), then the error term is basically an accumulator to which we add 450. Whenever it goes over 600, we subtract 600, and increment y. (Okay, so it is not like fixed point but in fact exact rational math. The error term accumulates numerators, which are compared to the denominator.)

We could represent the same approximately with a fixed point number, but that pins us to a denominator. If we have, say, 8 bits of fractional precision, then we work in multiples of 1/256. Now 450/600 is precisely 3/4, and so we are lucky in this case: 3/4 is a multiple of 1/256: the denominator is a power of two, and so we can step the x coordinate by 1, and the y coordinate by 3/4. The "staircase" will be the same as under Bresenham's.

Suppose delta is <453,599>. Bresenham's still deals with this precisely. 453 is added to the error term, and 599 subtracted when it blows past 599. Yet, 599 is a prime, and 453/599 has no exact representation in fixed point. The best we can do is add more bits of precision to minimize the cumulative error. If the display is on the order of 1000x1000 and we go down to 1/65535 sub-pixel precision in our fixed-point coordinates, maybe there is no noticeable artifact.

It's usually easier to prosecute a small fish than tackle a great white bank with their armies of lawyers. Thankfully the jury saw through the whole thing. I love the "escrow account" which was nothing more than a slush fund for the prosecutor's office. Now we know that Law & Order was fake, clearly this guy is not Sam Waterston.
The case against the bank fell apart. The case against the individuals has not.
This is very reminiscent of two things for me:

- the introduction of replays in Halo 3 (which worked the same way - by saving the data of the entire session, one could freely move the camera around the entire map and observe any part of the game at any point in time)

- Super Meat Boy's level-end combined replays (which replayed all of the user's attempts simultaneously, creating a pretty amusing sort of "heatmap" effect)

I think this will eventually become standard for games where replays would be valuable or fun to watch. But I'm not sure about actually rendering live games server-side until we're at a point where input latency is unnoticeable.

I was a maverick at university; I used Bresenham's to draw hyperbolas. I had this idea that since hyperbolas are related to 1/z, maybe the approach could be used for scan-converting textures through a perspective transform, but never developed it farther.

Specifically, how the stock markets continue to rise despite the decline in productivity.

The stock market rises in nominal dollars, which is meaningless, since that is just a result of monetary inflation. Corporate profits, and personal income invested in the stock market will rise with total nominal national income. In economics terms, nominal national income growth is proportional to the growth in the money supply (M*V=Y). So the growth in the stock market is just a result of the growth of the money supply. It has zippo to do with any real thing like productivity. That is why it is always silly when newscasters report the stock market changes every day, and view it as good when it rises, and bad when it falls. They are essentially cheering on monetary dilution. (But inflation always feels good in the short term, so they aren't entirely wrong to cheer it on, it feels good when the stock market rises, even if the same underlying mechanic is also pushing up your milk price).

Your canvas is a card. Cards can be anything, from a game to a cookbook—and anyone can make them, no coding required. The cards you make exist in Universe, a rethinking of the Web for mobile. We’re taking today’s technology and three decades of learnings to design a new, open software platform.

I'll take a shot. If I understand it correctly, basically components have dependencies. For example, A depends on B and B depends on C, etc. If you have A depends on B... and somehow along the path you have a cycle, eg. E depends on A, you have a problem because in order to install A, you need to install B, C,... E. But in order to install E you need to install A first. So you have to break the dependency cycle.
