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 encryption." Are individual users wallets stored w

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 some new types of application (safely running untrusted code)

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 your ideas". Haskell just makes that trade-off more 'up front

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-fold enumerators as used by warp are superior in many respec

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 an employee for the purposes of the H1-B.

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 = undefined line to keep the type checker happy.

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, but several others smaller botnets have fallen silent too.

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 are still resource limited to Earth.

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..
