I cannot vouch for the quality of this model, but I remembered I had bookmarked this tweet, having wondered the same: https://twitter.com/anderssandberg/status/145528744318439424..…

Exposing the LAN address is less of a concern than exposing the real IP address of people using a VPN or proxy for anonymity.

I assume 12000 iterations by the looks of that $ delimited string, I assume they're storing the parameters as, hash_func$iterations$salt$derived_key

I like the sound of most of that, especially the two-factor authentication on all accounts. One thing wasn't clear to me, "Wallets (and private keys) are stored using AES-256 encry…

Oh and we just added a link to an email signup in the text: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dDdGcHE...

There is some pretty cool stuff in there for a point release. It's cool that monad comprehensions are back in, but I'm most excited about Safe Haskell, which should enable enable s…

An amusing analogy, sure, but I can't help be reminded of this xkcd http://xkcd.com/568/ - "you'll never find a programing language that frees you from the burden of clarifying you…

Yes, the argument presented for point one is pretty weak, but I do agree with it. Having the lazy I/O, and especially lazy bytestring option is great IMO. Although Oleg style left-…

That's right, but your co-founder(s) can sponsor you, and indeed you them. Provided that you could in theory be fired (a three person board for example) then you can be classed as …

I don't really see why you'd need that. In those sorts of circumstances I'd either add the new version of the function with a new name, or rename the function and add an oldFunc = …

pypy also supports stackless style microthreads: http://codespeak.net/pypy/dist/pypy/doc/stackless.html but, yes, system level threads are GIL based.

There doesn't appear to be any evidence of that being the case. Rustock ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rustock_botnet ) appears to be responsible for the bulk of the drop in volume…

Well, populations are typically modeled as a sigmoid function, they only appear to be growing exponentially. I think it's fair to assume total population will stabilise whilst we a…

There is also the Paxos algorithm: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paxos_algorithm (Bigtable uses 'Chubby' - google's implementation of Paxos)

Commius and Vercingetorix had this problem at Alesia; Caesar's troops enforced a network partition!

http://icfpcontest.org/ although "functional programming" is in the name, any language can enter. lots of Haskell and other FP winners in there. Although in '08 a Java team won..
