You are ignoring the cost of the bitcoin network. Someone has to pay for all of those hashes. Currently it is being paid for by block rewards mainly to the miners, and the transaction fees are very low. Taking into account the bitcoins created to pay the miners, the cost per transaction is much higher with bitcoin than with traditional banking.
From my experience, the proper capitalization is also atypical.

Your friend's career path is not that usual. in practice, most people with this sort of degree will not get the opportunity to make much use of it in the future. None of your listed jobs specifically require a humanities degree, nor is it true that you need to study such a degree to develop good writing skills.
It's actually not that hard, if you require players to reveal their complete deck after the match, and if you are willing to wait for cheaters to be caught at that time.

(If you want to support cryptographic poker, where opponents learn nothing if there's no showdown; then you need lots of shenanigans.)
And that's all fair criticism. Unfortunately it isn't what your first post said. I responded to what you said, which was mostly quoting TFA which was in turn twisting Lowery's words to make it look like he said something that he didn't say.

Edit: I will add, however, that there is still merit in Lowery's message. If we can't have real objective truth, let's at least hear the black truth, because we already hear a lot of the white truth.

Also, "real" communists hate the Democrats for being imperialist neoliberals. Just like how "real" white supremacists hate the Republicans for being big-government charlatans unwilling to stand up for the future of white children.
Thanks for the link. They're not nearly as expensive as I thought they'd be.

A Samsung at 55 inches for $600 is perfect for my needs.

When I first heard about it in grade 8, I thought it was the dumbest thing ever. The first pair, Introvert or Extrovert made sense. But I could never make up my mind on the rest: Intuitive or Sensing, Thinking or Feeling, Judging or Perceiving? I felt I could be either, depending upon mood.

Later I learned that these terms had hyperspecialized meanings, different from how most people use them in everyday speech, especially the latter two pairs (thinking and feeling, judging and perceiving).

Finally I heard that the last pair is some kind of key, which turns the meaning of the middle two pairs. If that does't make sense, that is expected. The letters are just symptoms of inner causes, called the Cognitive Functions, which only the most serious of devotees have heard of, and even fewer understand.

---

To go back to basics, it is obvious to me that personality is partly biological. Whether you are introvert or extrovert, for example, doesn't seem to be changeable by sheer force of will or even long, continuous practice. The genetic origin doesn't mean you will match your parents. Just like hair color or the shape of the nose, it can vary, and genes from both sides interact to form a unique child each time. Child 1 can be the polar opposite of Child 2, and things are reinvented once again with Child 3 --- and I don't think it's all explained by birth order. I think there are personality genes.

---

The best way I have found to approach Myers Briggs is backwards. Instead of taking a test or trying to understand the exact meaning of each letter, just read the prose descriptions of the 16. https://www.personalitypage.com/html/portraits.html I think you will find some familiar faces in there --- not only a few that sound like yourself but many that remind you of friends. And these are about how you are in default mode, when you are relaxed, not trying. Certainly you can imitate the others for a little while. But some things seem to go with your grain, and others against it. How are you when you behave automatically? That's all that it's about --- not your whole potential when you bring learning and effort into the mix. Some things that are easy and natural for others will always be harder for you, and vice versa.

So there's something to it. My main reservation is that I think 16 is too many, but only by a little. Maybe there are just 12 genetic types (which are further built upon by one's upbringing, experiences, etc., to make each of us unique).

---

As a final note, back to the Cognitive Functions, I think they may be hard to grapple with at first, but they are what make Myers Briggs distinctive. It is the only personality theory that posits that how you feel on the inside is often the opposite of how you appear on the outside. For example, I think I am probably an INFJ. Alone in my thoughts or in writing, I am analytical, logical, factual, always trying to come to judgment on this theory or that. But at a party I am open, agreeable (to a fault), even gregarious if my energy is up. Likewise someone else may feel in touch with humanity in their inner selves, but socially will come across as coolly decisive and a hard-nosed debater.
Good for Brazilians, I hope they can use their resources and improve the country.

Thank you for working on this, and for providing it to everyone for free & open source! A better CLI for git would be an awesome thing, for sure.

Is there a bit vs. git comparison somewhere? I'm curious how close the two CLIs are.

(In fact - is there a list of bit commands/args? I couldn't quite find it after skimming the README.md a couple times)

In particular, are they 'close enough' that I could give this to freshman/sophomore college students (instead of git) as a starting point, and then help them transition to git later on?

(This looks awesome but they'll want experience with the straight 'git' on their resume / before they arrive at their first jobs, etc )
Its outright prohibited to sell illegal land as well. Facebook might also require a proof of ownership before allowing the sale.
> What you are saying is that in order to fully understand what Biden means when he says "you ain't black if you don't vote for me", we have to search for a meaning for this that puts Biden in the best possible light while still maintaining a modicum of plausibility.

Your post is kind of a case of exactly what I mean, for sure, given that I don't at all agree with what you claim I am saying!

But I would note that you reworded the "quote" from Biden to make it more clearly what you believe he meant, when the actual quote is right there a few comments up.
Haxe is a cool language and platform.

Non-mainstream languages are underappreciated, especially on the frontend where they all can tap into the ecosystem of JS packages.

They aren't wrong about the sauna.

The whole point of a fever is that the higher temperature harms the disease organism more than the host organism. It is in fact to "kill the virus".

The sauna supports that. The same goes for anything else that would enable the fever of course. You could instead eat hot soup, wear a jacket, or adjust your thermostat.

Going the other way, cooling yourself to suppress a fever, blocks a natural response to infectious disease. Don't do that unless your body has overshot the proper fever temperature by a long ways, to the point that you are at risk of brain damage.

Hence the reason the final total was above GDP. That should have been a red flag that there was a problem in the calculation.
> The entire problem is that it's not false at all. There are various ways to produce more physical goods without employing more domestic workers. Every time the fed is printing money that money gets invested in a way that does not result in decreased unemployment. It's being used to produce more physical goods which keeps the price of physical goods constant.

I was unclear and I should have included ceteris paribus, but you’re correct. The fed keeps the price of goods constant when it should be decreasing.

> Ultimately the only truly scarce "good" is labor. Everything derives from it. If prices are not rising that means labor is not scare at all, which is idiotic because there are lots of ways to productively deploy that labor.

Raw materials are also truly scarce, and you’ve neglected to apply the same level of analysis here as you did above.

This misses what is probably the more important point, which is that any system which tries to measure who has their needs met is going to screw up.

People won't fill out the paperwork, they'll check the wrong box, the papers will get lost, the wrong flag will be entered on the database, they won't fulfill the criteria on paper but still really need the help: people in need fall through the cracks all the time.

Also, great care needs to be taken with welfare to avoid income traps. It's easy to set up a system where working more means you lose money, and that's hard to get out of. This remains a problem with US welfare and disability payments.

With a UBI, it's simple: do they know who you are, and have you been paid yet.

And the people who have enough are generally easy to find, and have, let's say, a preexisting relationship with the IRS. It's easy enough to tax the UBI back from them, and it would be comforting, if and when they unexpectedly lose their job, to know that a check will be arriving. One less thing to think about.

I have some reservations about UBI, but I'm familiar with the case for it, which I'm conveying here without a full endorsement.
The difference is that you usually add the specific repos only when you need them. This one is configured and enabled out of the box, by default, for everyone.

I wonder... why so many people on this topic miss the nuances and suggest going into extremes?
> In every crowd you will find a set of loud victim blamers.

I think the line has to be drawn somewhere on whether someone is a victim, or are complicit in their own suffering. If someone steps in doggy-doo on a walk, that's unfortunate and they might actually be a victim. However, if someone says "Me and my team have been stepping on doggy-doo everyday for the past 5 months", they are no longer victims, unless someone is coercing them into doing that against their will; and I will have some questions to ask their (technical) leadership.
> The data on who was doing what would be useful for providing implementation and technical support to people who has already contracted with Canonical for those services

So then why should everyone else who doesn't have any contact with Canonical have their data forwarded to them too? This should be opt-in rather then opt-out, let alone always happening with no way to opt out

They are all the same.

Let us just go a small step further and let facebook and twitter choose the next presidents.
As much as I love not having to see Trump on Twitter now.. the future of social media is going to be fully decentralized and distributed (whether we like it or not). The Free World will need a much better immune response to this kind of radicalization than deplatforming people.
You are right this is between a rock and a hard place. There was is something about the control of the spread of information that gets me. As someone else mentioned the moderation on HN is one of its strengths.

Maybe I've read too many books like 1984. It's the concentration of control of information that I don't like. If that control is in the hands of one company or the government it's all the same to me.

It scares me that one company reaches so many that banning one user can have political impacts. It also gives me hope that even POTUS isn't powerful enough to stop them.
Nice to see advanced CG content on HN ;)

Any attempt using Tensorflow?

I dont have time to look but here are some listed examples.
http://www.japanintercultural.com/en/news/default.aspx?newsi...

Basically in a way society advises you on what's best for you. Yes there are examples in other countries, but they pale in scope. In Japan it begins in elementary school and follows you all thru life.
Officially I don't see that coming, I think it's iffy in terms of patents etc...
yep. This is exactly what attracted me to Delphi. Did a lot of Pascal dev in college with TP. Then tried out VB 3.0 for windows dev. Hated VB because of the performance and having to include the VB runtime. Delphi created a single standalone executable and it was fast. Back in those days, if you wanted close to C/C++ performance without having to learn or deal with the complexities, Delphi was the next best thing.

This is why we should be eating off small plates at home and buying the small donuts instead of the regular sized one. You get more satisfaction for the same sized meal or equivalent satisfaction for a smaller one.
Thanks for your generous offer! I will contact you today once this settles down a little. It's very kind of you but I don't just want to "send you a list". I am not loaded with money but I believe there must be some form of compensation. Thanks again!
Don't forget they can still make your device delete your book. Most probably any content. And it's not hard to think they could brick your device if they wanted to.

Conceivably, with a court order, they could compel your Kindle to tell them what books you have been reading and, given it's 3G capabilities, where you have been.

It's really not your Kindle. You just paid for it.
But why do they not hide the interface directly?
I think this is reasonable.

My guess: Gmail wants you to invite somebody in your contact list directly. And they are reluctant to reset the cap of invitation because there are so many users in the system.
every state is doing this and has been for a really long time (decades)
> I worked at OkCupid 8 years ago...

OkCupid's problem, and the problem at Match Group in general, is that you learned something about 100% of OkCupid users instead of 0.01% of randomly-sampled real world people, and maybe that something that you learned was 200% wrong. And then, you think your answers are 1,000% more correct because 100% - 0.01% = 99.99%.

Granted that logic is great for equity investors. It just isn't necessarily great for users.

Nobody pushed back on the assumption that online dating was a representative sample. Nobody pushes back on whether the right questions were being asked. Match didn't even choose the right engagement metrics, choosing things like message reply rate which can rise while active users fall. The style of how these metrics were chosen and what analysis was done papered over serious issues. And all the people who would have, by now, the maturity and tenure to admit they were wrong are gone.
It seems to me a bad sign for computer science that this is part of the curriculum. It shows what the degree is really about, and when a field becomes about that, it is decadent.

Oh boy do I remember yahoo pipes. I used it heavily for some time. I always suspected their servers were under massive load running all their jobs so sometimes things were slow.

Pipes made you think the future of the web was going to be technical and brilliant.
> extremely bad performance

Given how a modern high perf processor work, I don't expect that at all. Moderately bad performance in some extremely rare cases, and comparable performance in most, is WAY more probable. Better performance in some cases is also possible.

If you don't know the microarchitecture enough, you can also just look at benchmarks of Zen processors. They are vastly running code non-tuned for it, and for some loads I expect the code was actually tuned for Skylake, given all desktop Intel processors have been Skylake microarch for a non trivial number of years. It performs well on Zen.
Net worth is very important. You need to make sure you’re hitting the right goals at appropriate stages of your life to be comfortable.

For software engineers, who easily make six figures a year, I’d say you should shoot for having a million in net worth by around age 30. This would mean you have good cash flow and smart investments.

A home does not inherently decrease your net worth. When you buy, the value of the home is added to your net worth minus however much you owe in mortgage and whatever your downpayment and closing costs were. If your home appreciates in value a lot it can increase your networth powerfully, but it could also just decrease and cause you a lot of pain.

Goes without saying your credit score should also be maxed out by the time you hit 30 to get the best interest rates.

After the first million you should aim to reach the next million by about your mid to late 30s I’d say. Not sure of the trajectory beyond that.
Can someone explain what is strongly-bent CO2 configuration?
We're not against any form of surveillance ever, we just think that over-broad NSA/GCHQ spying as it currently exists violates the Constitution.

Maybe we'll agree some day that this level of surveillance is a price we're willing to pay, but that needs a rigorous and well-informed public debate.

Our letter ends by calling on the U.S. government to "bring the NSA back within the bounds of the constitution," not to scrap the NSA entirely.

Hope this clarifies. :-)
I truly hate sites like this. While I believe in "ask for the order", this site follows the plan of "You can't know what we sell until you sign up for a free trial." Want to know what it is, see a half page of text followed by sign up for a trial. You really think my time is useless to me?

You know, when I read that story I immediately thought "oh boy, now they're going to say Snowden leaks 'hurt them' because they uncovered military operations", or something along those lines.

So if it's coming straight from the UK government, I could see why they'd want to blame Snowden for that, and make him lose favor with the public. If this is why they did it, I could even see US "advising" them on following the same model to destroy his image, just like they did with Manning and Assange (and where somewhat successful in that, I'd say).
It is trivial to put up barriers to mistakes.

Amherst College had a web-based social network called "planWorld" (after VAX .plans, which it replaced) starting around 1999. I know Grinnell had something similar. I have to imagine that other colleges did too.

Amherst also had the DailyJolt, a web forum founded around 1999, and that one actually expanded to several other campuses.

I suspect that FaceBook became dominant because it had a.) the right features b.) at the right time c.) expanding to the right places d.) in the right order.

Sites like Friendster died because they missed critical features, namely the ability to stay up for a reasonable amount of time under load. Friendster was also good for making friends (or at least recording them), but didn't provide very much for you to do with them.

Sites like planWorld - and LiveJournal, for that matter, which was far better and more dominant than FaceBook in 2004 - failed because they were too early. They couldn't get a critical mass of people to explode in popularity, because social networking was still a niche activity, popular among geeks and nerds but not among the general public.

Sites like Campus Network (or planWorld, again) failed because they failed to expand. As the article says, Campus Network was way more popular among Columbia students, and FaceBook had to struggle to make inroads at Columbia. And among Amherst students who attended between 1996 and 2005, planWorld still tends to be more popular than FaceBook.

Sites like MySpace failed because they tried to expand in the wrong order. MySpace captured the 20-something music scene, and then the high school market. But college kids don't do what high school kids are doing, high school kids do what college kids are doing. And (at least in technology) kids don't do what their parents are doing, parents do what their kids do. FaceBook had perfect positioning to take over the rest of the market, because high school kids do what college kids do, and college kids eventually graduate and become 20-somethings, and then parents do what their kids are doing. MySpace had no room to expand once FaceBook captured the college market, because they lost the high schoolers to FaceBook, and then they had no beachhead to grab the parents.

It kinda reminds me of what Google told us during orientation: Google succeeded because they had the right idea, at the right time, with the right technology and the right people, in the right place. And without any of those elements, they would've failed miserably. I suspect a lot of startups are in the same boat.
I did a talk on China and malware a few DC4420's ago (http://www.dc4420.org/), happy to share the slides with anyone that emails me (address in profile).

I'm currently working on a paper on a class of vulnerability that hasn't really been well defined, I'm doing a preview at a seminar we're running at work for the aerospace & defence industry, but if people are interested in going to the mainstream event on the same day (http://www.mandalorian.com/resources/events/cybercrime-brief...) I'm happy to share then. Hopefully I'll be able to present it at the Christmas London OWASP meet - that's if there's going to be one.
