This one isn't an attack per se, it is mostly an exploration of arbitrage bots in decentralized exchanges running on Ethereum smart contracts. However, they point out that miners can trivially capture the value of the arbitrage transactions by front-running, and that this "free money" is like a bonus block subsidy that falls outside of the PoW consensus models:

This one actually operates through transaction fees only, so it doesn't depend on smart contract functionality. However, it is waaaaay more expensive (for the attacker) than the others:

For those on mobile or on MacOS w/ Safari, the two bullets above are:

- to deploy commercial software whose configuration is only through an interactive terminal session and stored in an undocumented binary format

- to drive gdb to inspect a suspect Red Hat 6 "will not fix" GUI component that can go into an "impossible" pure cpu loop, to determine whether to kill it or whether it's busy in a more benign state.
I think you’re straw-manning solipsism.
>>over-the-top safety requirements

This is due to the safety at all costs fallacy that dominates popular politics.

One other factor is capture by unions, although that could fall under corruption. It's a high level form of corruption involving swaying public opinion to accept union narratives about the good done by their control of labor forces.
The Matrix called it. :)

Jokes aside, this sort of stuff is complicated. Seen from Vint Cerf's position it might sound legitimate. Certainly some form of reorganization which might collect more funding for development and maintenance of the internet in the public interest wouldn't by itself be bad on its face.

It wouldn't be the first time some up-in-the-clouds authority had too much trust in their friends and colleagues that what they were up-to was actually kosher and, as a result, carelessly dispensed with the required ritual corporate-speak niceties only to suffer embarrassment later.

You should also keep in mind that any time you see someone quoted in a press release there is a very high chance that the press release author wrote the quote. It's the norm to suggest copy and pass it over for approval. Some people have their staff accept boring pap like that from friendly organizations without ever seeing it themselves.

I personally never let someone write a quote for me and I found that this turned me into a nuisance... but lots of people do (presumably they don't like being nuisances!). I think they deserve what they get for it, but understanding what might have happened can make it more explicable if not more excusable.
After a week - at most - none of the millions of users sees the "photoshopped image" anymore, it'll become ubiquitous. Mostly due to the fact that each and every image will have that label / text
I worked through this soon after it came out and I enjoyed it a great deal
Recorded phone calls without consent in some states is still inadmissible as evidence in court. Surely at least that law would protect the person in the other end of the lens.
m is derived as

m = P_S / c² * V_fohs

P_S and V_fohs do not exist in the standard model. The gravitational microcuviture of protons/neutrons cause changes in the P_S (static vacuum pressure) that therefor changes the mass. P_S is around 1.3 * 10^26 N/m².

This is from the Basic Structures of Matter - Supergravitation Unified Theory model, not the standard model.
Very useful. When I was living solo in Ahmedabad, I used to cook a lot of Khicdi (It is combination of Rice + pulses cooked) which is nutritious, light and very cheap to cook. I must have saved 80% of the money had I been ordering the food from outside.
> One of the great myths of nature is that predators have some sort of instinct to screw over their social group at every opportunity.

Speaking of humans: Their social group, no. Other social groups, absolutely.

We know this as "ingroup bias".

Pre-internet, your ingroups and outgroups were largely restricted by geography. Moreover, you got this sort of "ingroup boosting" effect by being part of a town, county, state, and country, so you had a lot of overlaps with other people.

Interestingly enough, each of those geographic entities actually occupies a "slot" in your social graph -- unconsciously, you think of them as people.

Without a forcing function providing behavioral moderation through discordant groupings, ingroups and outgroups become increasingly monocultural, tribalistic, and behaviorally extreme.
Hmm, I think the problem the person you replied to sees is that sentiment community board meetings are not as good at measuring what the "average citizen" wants as opinion polls. Why do CB meetings have the moral high ground?
I would like to point out a minor detail: "re-" as an intensifier is characteristic of the dialects of Argentina, Chile, and Mexico: https://www.fundeu.es/recomendacion/recontra-re-rete-requete... (article in Spanish)

In most other dialects it just means "to do again", same as English. Your confusion is understandable, because even for me as a native Spanish speaker, using it as an intensifier sounds funny.
I usually don't pin, I'd rather deal with upstream BC breaks as they are published instead of accumulating tech debt. I call this "continuously integrating upstream code", because Continuous Integration is a practice, not a tool.
I wish we'd been able to unilaterally decree books as lacking literary value at my school and have them removed from the reading list.

Screw you Thomas Hardy, you're off the curriculum, some 14 year old has decided you lack literary value because they find all those descriptions of countryside dull and don't want to read them.

(Obviously in this instance that 14 year old would have been me and I'd have been right but I'd also have said something similar about Dickens and been about as spectacularly wrong as it's possible to be).
I guess the philosopher Kant would have had some problems with his name in English. (In German Kant just sounds very similar to the name for edge Kante, and not female anatomy.)

But I guess you get around that impasse by just pronouncing it wrong. (German pronunciation: [ɪˈmaːnu̯eːl ˈkant])

Interestingly one German translation is set in Berlin, and uses the names of German capitalists.
Mr Wong is similar to delicious and once allowed you to import delicious exports. It has grown "bigger" since I last visited the site (a couple of years ago) though and I don't know if it is any good in its present state.

He never claimed it was a crime, just immoral, and I agree.

If the store provides you a valuable service, like allowing you to try on shoes or giving you significant advice on which product to buy, you should buy the product from them so that they get profits with which to cover the cost of providing that service.

Now, it depends how extensively you used their resources and how much of a markup they want. If you were in the store for something else and all you did is wander around to try to get ideas of what else you wanted, I don't think there's much obligation to buy. But if you're spending 15 minutes talking to a salesman about all of the possibilities (especially if you wanted to ask him the questions, as opposed to him seeing you in the area and approaching you to try to close the sale and upsell you) or extensively trying out the demo units, the store is providing you value and you're using resources that cost them money. As long as the additional markup that the store wants is fair (for an example of unfair markup see the guy who chose not to buy a $40 DVI-HDMI cable that costs <$3 on monoprice), you should compensate them for the value they provided you and buy from them.
Neat! Do you plan to add the ability to add new links (and add tags to them)? I saw your trunk.ly page (http://trunk.ly/alexdong/), and the first thing that struck me was - besides building a searchable index of all the links that I shared on different services, if you give people the ability to tag/bookmark new links, you might just be the service that Yahoo failed to grow out of Delicious.
Well that definitely sounds like a conspiracy since there's no other reason people would downvote you...
They even throttle the friendfeed scraper which graciously pulls all its users data at once.

You can't write a simple scraper that is not distributed in 100 of machines across the web to pull out their data.

I guess he is more concerned with the way Swastika is interpreted in the western world. It is sort of synonymous with white supremacist groups. And the contrarian mentality that he explains is very apparent in reddit. In reddit, I see people just jump on anything that has to do with US/White/Christianity/Israel but go to extreme hilarious lengths to defend obviously radical practices/ideas associated with other cultures.

Ps:I am from India and I very well know the religious significance of Swastika.
I imagine the majority of that money is going to be spent on marketing to build a user base large enough to attract advertisers rather than on tech development.

I'm guessing the ROI on advertisements would be considerably higher than TV/magazine/web/poster advertising where a large chunk of FMCG ad spend goes today.
I found it hypocritical coming from an industry that very often relies on the entertainment values of random acts of violence.

"Look, in this game you can shoot people on the face as long as you don't wear any swastikas or call people 'fags' becaus then that would be wrong."

Did you rape and murder a little girl in 1990?

Questions aren't that much better than statements.
But, China has a centrally planned command economy built around subsidies, wholesale-rate or zero-interest loans and development grants, and nationalization. Of course, there is not one country on earth that has an economic trajectory as high. They are experiencing the largest uplift from abject agrarian subsistence to working- and middle-class job creation in the history of civilization. Obviously they do not have the raw materials within their borders to stem that insatiable hunger for growth, thus their foray into resource-rich Africa (and, btw, directly contributing to the relatively quick rise of the African middle-class, as well).

Heck the US during and after WWII was centrally planned, and it caused the largest economic growth the world has ever seen, until China's in the 1990s to now. Actually, one needn't look any further than the Marshall Plan to see that government intervention and fiscal stimulus can propel countries to prosperity worldwide.

Without a larger central body taking a macroeconomic view and actually being the "invisible hand" that Adam Smith relegated to the self-regulating market, Europe probably would have never recovered from either of the world wars and the US possibly wouldn't have seen the growth it did post-WWII.
I've also updated the final sentence to "could be happening", that is what I meant and should have been more careful.
In Vietnam, the CIA all had the same spy Rolex to be used as bribery material. I read an account about how all the cabdrivers knew who they all were and never needed directions to drive agents to the safe houses.
True. That may be the reason why the same website published the following two days later: State Department Telephone Directory May 2010, http://cryptome.org/state-phones.zip
As far as i understand the abbreviations define "USEO" as "United states Embassy Office" [page A-2], however nothing in the name listing contains "USEO". The document is unclassified after all. However it may very well contain past or future "spooks".
With mobile "games" it's not about pain, it's about pleasure. If you can show someone a good time for 24 hours, you can get $2 from them.

Therefore, in the app world, you are in the "I'll tickle you for $2 business" and you just need 1000 customers a month.

Are you driving the exactly right car vehicle for you? Let's all figure it out.

Of course, you have all of the information we'll require to make this decision, so you'll have to answer all of our questions.

Oh, sure, we could just trust that understand the options and your own specific situation and have already weighed everything and taken the path that makes the most sense. But how would that be any fun?
Actually in Atlas Shrugged, the men of the mind go on strike. They do not start their own country, they remove themselves to a safe place, a hiding spot of it you will, and wait for the crash so that can come back and rebuild society correctly from first principles. The goal was never to create their own country, it was to correct what is wrong with the US.

I haven't used Duplicity myself so I can't really compare it to Backup Manager. I've been super pleased with Backup Manager.
Because they're statistical artifacts, basically. P=0.05 means you're got a 1/20 chance of it happening on any given random test set where the bill hypothesis is true, after all. Physics uses far higher confidence levels, but also runs (effectively) massive numbers of tests. That's part of the danger of picking theories based on the data - each degree of freedom in interpretation multiplies your chances of having spurious results crop up.
Yes. They were never really there in the first place.
I'm not against wool/polyester inner layers, they are much better than cotton. But it's not magic, they will also work worse when they are wet, and they don't transport the sweat from the skin perfectly. So what works the best for me is reducing the effect of accumulating sweat, i.e. maximizing the breathability of the jacket (for example, by using a "windshirt" style jackets from materials like Pertex).

Maybe in such exteme conditions as -40°C it's different, but for me a windshirt + thick inner layers (polyester/wool) work well for 6+ hour long bicycle rides in about 0°C.
True but most of the content of the article is based around Pearl's thoughts on the field.
The biggest problem: "it can do everything make can do"

This means it cannot enforce pinning-on-a-hash ('hermetic' builds in bazel lingo): if you allow dev team to say `git clone hxxp://whatever/whatever/master` somewhere in the bowels of the build system, they invariably go for it. It's easy, agile and it works (for months if not years).

Result? On a large project, every week you get a build broken by some third-party change. Because make is too capable.
Apple is already doing this(mobile chips part), opening or expanding offices in San Diego/Austin for chip design based on public announcements, job openings, personnel changing companies.
I'm a physicist and I've experienced this on the small scale of my own humble work developing measurement equipment. When you observe a surprising effect, you try to make it go away. First, you check to see if it's reproducible under a variety of conditions. Then you search for sources of bias and error that you might have overlooked. You remove things that you think should be extraneous to the purported effect.

At some point, you're satisfied enough, and you publish. Then the rest of the community goes to work trying to do the same thing, with more care, possibly more money, and more minds working on it.
Fate is a real thing and so I can see how SLS started as a joke. I didn't know of the term SLS (thanks for sharing).
No, you don't need cooperative threads for this. Proper exception handling fixes this problem with OS threads for you.

You're off by a factor of 4 and probably more because that website doesn't list the dozens of half-baked Bitcoin bashing blogs posted to HN in the last few weeks.
"Hard to scale" isn't really a coherent argument against any mainstream programming language.

It's kind of like saying that AMD processors or Microsoft Word are hard to scale - it's not entirely meaningless as a criticism but it's close to it.

Python is not a language for writing ultraperformant multi threaded code but, of course, that's not what it used for or was ever intended to do and is an entirely separate issue to scalability.

Reasonable people disagree about well defined, important matters.
Win-Left Arrow moves the window to the left hand side of the screen. If you have multiple screens, it will move it to the next screen with your next press. Ditto Win-Right. Win-Up maximizes, Win-down un-maximizes, then minimizes.

You can also drag windows against any edge, and get half-windows, maximized windows, etc. by default. And you’re not placed in full screen mode, losing the menu bar. I purchased an app to get similar (but still inferior) behavior in Mac.

Windows’ window management is, IMO, simply superior to Macs.
You berate someone for limiting his post to his context and do the exact same thing yourself.

I'll have to say my experience in "the community" has been far closer to his experiences than your equally small bubble.

Looking at their browser, I wouldn't.
Production failures due to bugs in both TCP-based servers and clients happen all the time, long time ago I invested a little time to learn basic socket programming in C and the ROI on this has really been spectacular. "Unix Network Programming" by Stevens is a great book on this topic, in particular it carefully discusses all the different ways things can go wrong. Wish there was something more up to date that could be recommended, but I don't know anything of comparable quality, so I think you still have to read it and later work out all the Linux-specific details, more modern APIs like epoll etc.
last night i was trying to comment a youtube video, and before i could post, i got this message: "you must have a g+ profile, we will create it for you"
but i dont want another social network profile (im even leaving my facebook acount)
i already have a gmail account and think that this should be enough to someone comment on youtube..

anyway.. nevermind the comment to youtube, ive drop it..
I dont like to be forced to do something i dont want to, without a reasonable fairness to the matter..

this is a sign that the corporate internet is swallowing day-by-day the belle-epoque internet that used to represent freedom, knowledge share, and power to the voiceless for all human kind..

its that kind of internet we all want to grow... the bad feeling this guy has, i think we are all feeling it..

a feeling that the internet we used to know is disapearing
because greedy people want to own the internet and the people who use it..

its a shame its being going this way.. its a sign we should not trust the corporate world to take the lead on where the internet should go...

we should do it! they should not lead us, they should follow.. we can do it, we can act as a collective mind stronger than anything else..

use other services, create new ones, we should be in control.. use your choice as a weapon
I don't use an online editor, but the main advantage I see is that it makes editing across multiple devices really easy.
> The difference however is Abu Ghraib didn't put intelligence sources at risk, it didn't endanger the lives of people.

Manadel al-Jamadi is a pretty compelling witness to the falsity of this claim.
It's far closer than Sverige -> Sweden, though. To us it may seem there's little rhyme or reason, but there is probably some logic behind it. :)
The work must be shared by all.
I certainly didn't mean to imply "teams have no leaders, and everybody is equally responsible for the success or failure of the business."

I have very strong opinions and recognize the importance of leadership.
From Rework - Jason Fried, DHH

"Learning From Mistakes is Overrated

People who failed before have the same amount of success as people who have never tried at all.* Success is the experience that actually counts."

The good thing for these guys is that they've succeeded before. I don't think they will with this, but with enough connections, money, and reputation, who knows?
>So what if someone "takes" your idea first? You can execute on it too and build something worth paying for; maybe even a better one.

At the time, Warren Buffet commented on this perverse quality of the bailouts. His profitable companies couldn't get the credit which bankrupt-but-guaranteed companies could.
I know I've disabled flash myself; my browsing experience is more often hurt by flash than it is helped, so it is a net gain.
The only thing that these can't do which Firebug Lite can is render the HTML for XHR responses inline in the console. In Chrome, unless I'm using the Firebug lite bookmarklet (which isn't perfect), I have to copy and save the response to a file before being able to view it. This is a big time waster for debugging web apps that send error messages in HTML, like with Django.

Citation from something they said, or just deducting this the same way I did? (experience with Asterisk...)

>While Freeswitch has better scale, it suffers from some of the same fundamental architectural issues Asterisk has for large distributed telephony applications.

What are the same 'fundamental' architectural issues? They've seem to taken quite a different approach, or do you just feel C is the wrong way to go for a highly concurrent, scalable system?
I wonder, if DuckDuckGo really hit the bigtime, could it usher in a new age of 'verbose' or 'wordy' startups/.coms?
