it's been a while, but something approximating: -- HN has eaten my asterisks, sed {asterisk} appropriately. (locate your {5,6,8}{c,l,g} per your go install, or use 'go tool' if you want to go half-way in, I'll use go too

For what its worth, go the language doesn't force that structure. Go the tool does most of that. Most languages (in their pubescent state) don't have self-referential build tools, and so tools get added by third parties (make, s

Nobody has a problem with JPM being right; They have a problem with JPM selling wrong while buying right, as that generally suggests negligent advice or fraudulent advice. They can choose, and pay the fine accordingly, like all our citize

While I agree with the general concept, investing 10k comes with a substantially different cost/risk/benefit profile to investing 1,000k. The 1% rule is a great general rule for a single investment, but to invest 99% of your porf

As a 'bottom up' interviewer, I'm often criticized for the same approach you're taking. You might do well to start at the highest level (and pseudo code) and work your way down to the clock. In fact, I'd start with

The greater fool is the one holding the bag when nobody else will buy it; People buying in today could very well be the greater fool -- time will tell.

Corporations are people, so yes; Contact your lawyer though, your situation is non-trivial, and screwing it up could cost you more than the profits.

Trading halts trading, not ownership; Assuming the trades themselves are not cancelled, he who holds the bag owns the bag.

Taxpayers pay for 100% of NSA development. Can users trust it?

Without looking at the code, it's hard to say, typically errors like the one described won't be caught by return values of read/write, but by return values of close() -- which many many people don't bother to check. (No

One could argue the two are not mutually exclusive; I think the timing of the downgrade was selected by S&P committee to encourage a QE3 push. I think the facts of the downgrade (less revenue then spending for the foreseeable future)

Quite right -- a better example is PCI compliance (hundreds of pages IIRC, and several volumes depending on exactly what you're doing; not a law, but similar ramifications if you don't comply); Still, complying with HIPAA does make one poi

I would never be foolish enough to say it _doesn't_ happen, simply that the rules say it _mustn't_ happen. Anyone who ends up complaining that they're forced to disclose because they didn't follow best practices, just learned why they're b

I didn't say they do, but they should hire people competent to make educated decisions in the regulatory environment they're in. That's why they pay bofhs -- not because they like our views, but because we _read_ the specs. EDIT: To phrase

If you're a 'normal person', you shouldn't be making decisions about the security of my health-care or financial data; If you're in the position to make that decision, you should have been aware that dropbox was not a "safe" third party; O

And anyone who stored that sort of data in dropbox more or less had it coming. HIPAA & finance laws are very clear about the security they require -- dropbox has always been hand-wavey in their explanation of their security.

Hacking CIA.gov, if they're half as good as one would expect, should yield no more than the static web content hosted. If there half as good as government contractors tend to be, I expect my tax return to be posted shortly.

And there really can't ever be one. A bank requires some way to offset risk (insurance, etc); If it gets robbed, the insurer pays out; In this case, an insurer would need to physically keep more bitcoins than the insured on hand in order

Since you can't manufacture bitcoins, I think guaranteeing interest would be difficult at best

Though interestingly, your bank isn't generally required to repay you for losses in your safe deposit box unless it arises from their negligence.

I've been playing with it off and on for over a year now -- it's definitely worth learning -- it'll shape your perspectives, and as a more-and-more viable substitute for other compiled languages, it's really quite nice.

The only reason it 'doesnt' work is that you then have to handle mail on the same hosts as web and https; Many consider that to be bad practice. I can put all many gigs of email in a flat file called 'mbox' -- that doesn't mean it's a good
