I understand basic options. They listed only long puts in 13F, the max they could lose is the premium they paid. So there must be some other securities that they didn't disclose (mostly short calls as @tchanglington mentioned) which resulted in the loss. I was asking if hedgefunds can disclose selectively? If so that can be exploited in so many ways.

One more reason I do sometimes this because I remember the website but don't quite remember the domain (was it .com or .net or .org)

PAXOS is very complicated, Raft is direct response to it by simplifying the consensus algorithm. From the article:

  "It's equivalent to Paxos in fault-tolerance and performance. The difference is that it's decomposed into relatively independent subproblems, and it cleanly addresses all major pieces needed for practical systems."
One of the authors of Raft is Prof. John Ousterhout(TCL creator, among other things)

>web-scale word-of-mouth(social networks, product review sites, recommendations from field- or topic-specific authoritative websites)

All of which are ad-supported and if they were fee-based they wouldn't be that massive, which agian brings back to ads.

> Relying on ad revenue is a moral failing.

If relying on ad revenue is a moral failing, so is using such a product/service. Have never used a such product/service?

I also had to implement simple microprocessor on an FPGA about 10 years ago.

I think one of the main reason is programming the FPGA is not easy, the tools needed for FPGA development are all proprietary. Every FPGA has different way to program it.

Quoting from the post:

     "my past criticism of CAP not actually being about picking two of three out 
      of C (consistency), A (availability), and P (partition tolerance) due to the 
      fact  that it does not make sense to reason about a system that is ‘CA’. (If 
      there is no partition, any system can be both consistent and available ---  
      the only question is what happens when there is a partition --- does 
      consistency or availability get sacrificed?)"

Huh? BS. I come here to HN to grok the truth, to see other side, not to nod head in agreement. I learn so much from rayiner's view point. I don't agree with him on all points, but I'm definitely a better informed person because of his reasoning.

This kind of dedication is inspiring.

From http://blog.jenniferdewalt.com/post/51616616313/day-58-explo... :

"Tomorrow I head to Pennsylvania to host a bridal shower and bachelorette weekend for my sister. Between the pre-wedding festivities and visiting with family, I’m going to be pretty limited on time for building websites. But, the show must go on and I am excited to see what kind of goodness I can create under pressure."

Congratulations Jennifer.

It looks like at this time Spawn doesn't support the closures yet. http://www.gocircuit.org/lang.html#worker-functions: "The need for boilerplate will be removed in an upcoming Circuit Compiler"

From https://github.com/tumblr/gocircuit/blob/master/src/circuit/...: "The worker function fn, whose type must have previously been registered with RegisterFunc"

And it looks like only function type id is communicated to worker: https://github.com/tumblr/gocircuit/blob/master/src/circuit/...

Unix tricks 13 years ago

As an emacs user I map "C-p" "C-n" for history search in bash

In .inputrc

  "\C-p": history-search-backward
  "\C-n": history-search-forward
Also I found the following settings to be very useful:
  # List the possible completions when Tab is pressed
  set show-all-if-ambiguous on
  #tab complete without needing to get the case right
  set completion-ignore-case on

Thats surprising, here in US, atleast at Kaiser hopital highly recommend breast feeding, and they offer lots of free support/classes. And surprisingly they don't recommend cosleeping.
