Note that CSI300 was around 2200 a year ago, peaked around 5400, and has been dropping continuously a couple percent a day down to 3800. Course you read this comment tomorrow, it'll probably close around 3600... repeat until it drops somewhat below normal. The slump will likely last another couple months.
Would you pay for it yourself? I'm struggling to see what a normal developer would use it for. I think your main customer will be high schools, colleges and universities. Not so much professional developers.
I second this. You are after all asking the Hackernews community! Like what dankruss says, you have a lot of complementary skills too.

I'd recommend some sort of dynamic web based language so you can launch your own startups in the future if you want.
Crucial detail left out:

Even after these drops SHSZ300 and .SSEC are still valued almost 2X from what they were year ago. This is crazy within a year bubble that is bursting. There will be several 8% drops until markets have retreated just one year.

I guess you can say that ariving at Maxwell equations or QED is an exercise in curve-fitting in some sense. In the end, it is the simplest set of rules that matches a set of observations.

Similarly, the current model of the sun is the simplest model that explains some observations (neutrino flux, the fact that some stars seem similar spectroscopically, our knowledge from other branches of science, etc.).

I see no fundamental difference between these two.
What a shitty place. If you feel under the weather, you're starting to get some sniffles or a little bit of a sore throat, just work from home. Sick time is for when you are actually sick, work from home is a tool for when you might be getting sick so you don't spread it.

Personally, I don't need excuses, I work from home whenever. It does seem that it is a rare place that treat's its emplpoyees as adults though.
but why do you trust your hypervisor? QEMU had a floppy controller escape bug published last month. Xen has one today.
I also practise Inbox Zero. The other thing I do is make a daily list of things I MUST do that day in Devarist (www.devarist.com), everything else is in long term storage, jira, email etc. If I find my mind wandering I review the list and get back on point.

Disclaimer: I built Devarist.
One important thing LTV misses is payback period. E.g. due to very low churn your LTV could potentially be huge but the value would take many years to realise, depending on your cash reserves CAC spending well below LTV still may not be economical if it takes too long to realise the ROI.

Your point is: The things Varoufakis claims Schäuble said and did would not have been said or done by a reasonable person.

To that i am pointing out that Schäuble has in the past said and done many things that were entirely unreasonable, even if some may have been meant well.
It seems like you are working towards a "everyone put their social stuff on their own site" model, which really lines up with the indiewebcamp ideal. I would recommend looking at https://indiewebcamp.com/webactions, as it's almost exactly what you are looking for, and requires little to no browser support at all, just the ability to register a url as a handler for a protocol. Biggest issue is just getting all the different sites to have support for webactions. The other bit you need is https://indiewebcamp.com/indie-config
10 Common Traits of Successful Entrepreneurs

All I was saying is that, personally, I don't think I could have a successful YCF without the in-person element, and therefore would not even bother applying in that case.
But I'm sure other startups would feel differently about this ;)
Can you actually disable MMS on Android phones? You can stop the default messaging app from automatically downloading them on my phpne, but I can’t find a way to completely disable them.
Let's talk again in a couple weeks and I bet you'd wish you'd gotten out today.
Stephen Hawking AMA
Sure, it's true when you own something you get to decide what to do with it.

But I see the problem being a lack of optimism. You don't see what the company might do in the future, it all seems so risky. So instead of investing in new tech, you try to take what you have off the table. This has benefits to the managers: you can count dollars up front, and your business school education is basically about bean counting. Nobody will ever know that you could have made the next breakthrough. How many firms could have marketed the iPhone? Probably quite a few. (One of the best things about Steve Jobs is he didn't give up or sell Apple when they looked like they were in deep poop.) You can always claim it would have been risky because of such-and-such competitor, regulation, status quo, etc.

Look at the corporate world now. They are all sitting on huge piles of cash, not knowing what to do with it. That's what a buyback is for, when you give up on thinking of new things to do, but you're happy to take credit for previous successful management's decisions.

Fair enough that some businesses really are at the end of the line for whatever they do. But they can't all be. And we'll never know how much growth is slowed by bean counting: the trading of what you could have had for what you are afraid to lose.

Wut? MMS is extremely popular, given that picking the messaging app to share photos and videos will use MMS.

Using Debian isn't a panacea. Neither is any particular distribution. Anecdotally, the only personal server I've had hacked was running Debian - due to it using an old openssh version (the issue was not present in later versions). It was fixed quickly, but I got 0dayed.
Supports some hardware that Linux never did, as well.

The real problem here is that video messages expose a huge attack surface to bad actors, very little of which has been security audited.

Automatically parsing videos before the user even chooses to interact with them makes it even worse - although I suspect most people would play a video sent to them over MMS even if it came from an unknown contact.
Aren't the poor wildly more likely to pay interest than to collect interest and the rich the opposite?

If so, it would seem that raising interest rates would differentially harm the poor.
The update strategy has been rethought and, frankly, I'd be surprised if anyone needs to release an OS update to fix this. Google clearly can and will just update the Hangouts app (if they haven't already). I'd expect most other manufacturers to just put an update for their OEM messaging app on the Play Store (if they don't already have a hook in something like an updateable OEM framework app they can use).
Interesting read! Thanks!
Is removing the MMS options under the APN enough to do this?
The patches he submitted were to the kernel?

He says it will take a long time for those patches to make it to devices, but I question the validity of the assertion simply because Google has moved more and more into the Play framework. So, unless it is truly a kernel bug I would expect that it's fixable in the framework ore target application.

Please correct me if I am mistaken though.
If the exploit affect Stagefright[1] ("a media playback engine at the native level"), it could affect many messaging apps.

I call this BS sorry. I do not know the exact reason why samsung had to release the previous phones using qualcomm's cpus but it was not because snapdragon 805 was a better chip. Quite the opposite if you check the benchmarks for snapdragon vs exynos. Exynos wins not by a higher margin but still wins.
The biggest issue that regulators all over the world get confused about is, they think somebody has to sell for the market to go down, so if you ban selling, market will not go down as much.
But in fact, if you ban selling, market becomes less liquid, and so, buyers have to demand compensation for incurring additional liquidity risk. therefore, they will lower their bids and market will drop even more !

again, where is this notion coming from? even if we scope to just text and no images, we already broken on this idea once we move beyond non-latin scripts and unicode.

But that's not the web, the web is not intended for lynx, it's intended for a browser, and all the foibles that browsers bring along with them.

Go rethink your position a bit, because maybe I'm old, but I remember the way the internet worked before the web and after the web, and "displaying documents suitable for a vt100 terminal" was not what the web was ever about.
It's certainly not popular in the UK. It's just too expensive. It costs ~ £0.50 per mms to send so people will just use email / facebook / whatsapp / whatever.
No I mean the Doves Press which Marianne Tidcombe wrote after her work on the Doves Bindery. I'll admit it is expensive at around £70, but I've seen copies for £40 http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Doves-Press-Marianne-Tidcombe/dp...
I've worked with beginning programmers before and one of the characteristics I see with the most struggling ones is that they have a tendency to repeatedly make small, almost random changes to code and run it until they get something which seems to work. Their code looks like a mess and almost always fails edge cases - when questioned on the behaviour of their solution on such, they often have no idea what it'll do, and only vaguely understand the code they wrote. I wonder if this is an example of them using the "fast thinking" path almost exclusively.

I've had success with forcing them to use pencil and paper, or a whiteboard, to design their algorithm and writing the code, before ever touching a computer to test it. This is a way to force them into the "slow thinking" mode, because there is no immediate feedback and they'll have to think more carefully about it. Put them in front of an IDE, however, and they just get tempted into writing code without thinking much about what it's doing.
To build off this, if you use Vagrant, you might not even have to carry the full image around with you, just the setup scripts which can get you to a working environment with a `vagrant up` command.
It's pretty absurd that Google can't require it's partners to push out updates to critical security flaws like this.

It's also pretty absurd that Google doesn't support security fixes in a 3 year old operating system (Jellybean).

If the NSA and other three letter agencies aren't using the exploit now, I bet they will have an implementation live within a week.
Just set you MMS settings to something that looks valid (so the phone will accept them) but non-working. There is then no way it's going to download 'em.
The problem is that the valuation in the market is insanity, China's growth is slowing, and there are margin accounts that aren't on the books because they are done through backdoor lending channels. Couple all of that with the government's idiotic actions that have forced lockins for big institutional buyers and you have a disaster on your hands. Why would a large institution buy the market if you have told them they have to hold it for 6 months? Idiocy.

Not to mention there are stocks listed on the exchange that literally do nothing. Very much like the Dot Com bubble. I heard a story about a public company trading in China's A shares that is developing an "invisibility cloak."

I suspect the market will rally back hard, maybe even tomorrow, but over the next 6 months? I wouldn't want to touch it.

Live dangerously: deploy on Arch. Then you'll never have to work with outdated anything again ;)

Actually, although I've been using Arch Linux for over two years now (not in production; I'm not brave enough), I've hardly had any issues at all with its rolling updates. The worst was just having to manually delete some Java binaries from /usr/bin when the way it handled Java was updated to allow Java 7 and 8 to exist side by side.
Wow! They managed to distill everything that's wrong with the infosec industry into one page!
So, in one day, the stock market has lost everything that it had recovered during the last 3 weeks, after the government intervention to stop the fall that started in June. Looks like those interventions ran out of steam.
From the article, "China's main stock indexes had more than doubled over the year to mid-June,"
If you are in the valley you are in an echo chamber. In the rest of the US the developer workforce is aging. I am 40 and as such we where the first wave of developers building the internet. We have aged with the career and you still see us around what you don't see is many before us and the reason is, there where not many before us and less that transitioned from old PC based development to what we do now.

The issue is far more complex than age discrimination, people look at the lack of examples before age 40 and the few of us in our late 30's and 40's and jump to age discrimination but the reality is there where just fewer of us back then, then the .com bust and the downturn ran a lot out to other industries and there is natural attrition.

I just did this actually. I ran a startup for 2.5 years as the CEO, and when we ran out of money, I moved to London for 3-4 months and joined the code school/coding cooperative Founders&Coders. Never learned as much in so short time ever.

It's probably best to try and learn something that you get excited about learning. You're going to be your own motivator, and if you give up half ways, it's probably not worth it.

Another tip is to try to get in touch with a community of people you can learn together with. After I moved away from London, I've learned a lot less, even though I have just as much time. I'm just not around as knowledge hungry people. This makes all the difference.

Another technique is to try and devote one week to a subject and check if you like it. I did it with machine learning: https://medium.com/@oslokommuneper/machine-learning-in-a-wee...

You can try coding, design, marketing etc. Whatever you like. Worst case, you waste a week. Best case, you discover a new passion.

Blinx – BLE Live Streaming [FREE]
We are Blinx,

A product company started from the idea that you should be able to share live streaming video footage with people around you, without worrying about whether they follow you, or are friends of yours, while having the ability to remain anonymous.

After a series of conversations, less than a year ago, we, two friends, decided to jump feet first into creating an app we weren't sure could be developed without large sums of money, or an extensive team of developers and engineers.

Following a few months of wireframes and iterative design simplification exercises, we decided to put together a demo, in hopes of seeing whether this idea did in fact have legs.

As we got deeper into the development and began to see the potential Blinx could ultimately have, we decided to release our lean demo to the world. The release of Blinx coincided with the release of Meerkat, an app which we knew nothing about, but one which went on to take live streaming to the next level.

We felt vindicated, and reinvigorated at the time, seeing that we had chosen the right lane, and decided to focus on creating an Apple Watch experience, for our next release.

We still have ways to go, and have a lot of potential features to choose from. But we want to give users the ability to experience this app, and help us identify what makes sense to add or remove, as we go forward.

This idea is fully funded by us, and we want to keep it alive even if we can't compete with the big fish in our category.

We kindly ask that you take moment to experience Blinx, and let us know what you think.

Thank you

I'll post some quotes from "The Australian Business Review"

"Commodities in a meltdown, but coal, uranium offer some hope "

"Copper has hit a six-year low"

"Nickel took another hit, ending at $US11,255/tonne while lead shed more value to close at $US1716/tonne."

"Aluminium continues to weaken. ANZ says demand in Europe has failed to pick up, underlying Chinese demand is weak"

Admittedly Australia is just the mining division of China so its hard not to expect them to crash. Still, Australia has been in an impressive housing bubble at least three times over trendline because China only grows and exports to China only grow, well, at least they only and always grow until they don't. That'll have some impact on financials in Australia and then the world.

Nickel, for example, used to be pretty stable, almost "boring" in the 90s and before. Then it tripled in the boom, and has collapsed since then but is still about twice over trendline. This is interesting to think about technologically, imagine the price of NiMH batteries has been 3x trendline for the last couple years and "should eventually" drop to about a third of present price. Of course its little consolation that hybrid cars will be cheaper if you're unemployed because the economy crashed, but "someday" hybrid battery packs will only cost a couple hundred bucks. We might all be standing in church soup lines for food, but at least hybrid batteries will be cheap.
True, but you can whitelist /.well-known/. I don't think anything else uses dot-filenames in URLs, because not all operating systems and software even allow such file names (for instance, the file browser in Windows forbids it when creating a new file or folder).
Please do bother to read the rest of the article.

This is similar to sending malicious attachments with an email (which is just "text", after all) which the user's email client opens automatically.

What I got from the article is that this is a hangouts bug which is part of the closed ecosystem of google apps anyway
Hi, just wondering if you've looked at Intel Crosswalk? It's intended to help with issue 3.
I heard the radio bit and thought it sounded reasonable. The one explanation that was missing was how this exploit fits in with those apps' permissions. The article makes it sound as though the compromised apps get root, which shouldn't really be possible.
Not to mention that I can't imagine how illegalizing trading and other knee-jerk reactions could possibly instill confidence in the market. Even if they can slow the decline, it seems like they'd just enlongate the decline until it reached a similar reality (if their actions don't actually increase the sell-off out of fear).
The magic of pixel art like that is that they define a picture but leave the details up to your imagination. Because of that, you subconsciously interpolate in a way that appeals to you, which makes it that much more perfect than high resolution imagery. Well, that's my opinion at least.
"Android phones are very different from iPhones, for example. Apple runs a closed system. It controls the hardware and software, and it's fairly easy to ship out a major revamp. The company says 85 percent of iPhone users have the latest operating system, iOS8."

The fact that Apple runs a closed system is not relevant to Android having poor security updates, as is evident by how GNU/Linux distros work - yet these things are mentioned next to each other, as if they are related.

(edit: lots of people missing the point here. media articles can equally point to free open source software GNU/Linux distros as having relatively successful security update mechanisms, yet Apple's closed ecosystem is always given more focus as the contrasting example to Android's; why? it is not the closed property that makes a security update mechanism succesful, yet that is the implication.)

(edit: this is how weasel wording works; statements of fact which may be individually correct, are placed together in suggestive positions, so that the non-cautious reader walks away with a false understanding of a more complex point, but allow the author to deny responsibility of this)

Other media articles have similar weasel wording. I'm not commenting on the author's intent - e.g. they may just be repeating the dominant narrative on this - however the wording has misleading connotations regardless of intent.
