> The point is when we're looking at comparative energy use, you can't just point at the whole banking system and compare it to Bitcoin, as if it's an apples to apples comparison, because the banking system provides an embarassment of services that Bitcoin does not.

this is true. bitcoin should be compared with everything required to run or "back" USD. which is a lot more energy use than most states on this planet
Oh yes - definitely on our radar!
I also have a low opinion of the quality of the OWASP guidelines. Their web-related ones are largely unmaintained; the XSS one, for example, had a couple of fairly crazy pieces in it (e.g. saying that / should be encoded) for more than ten years (fixed a few months ago, begrudgingly), and still has various content that is not factually correct, referring incompletely to obsolete specs, &c. Also it’s not a cheat sheet in any way; far too long for that.
Thanks for the willingness to support! We have not looked into this yet, but we definitely will.
How does this differ from Filecoin?
That's the point. The content on Yahoo Answers is so bad that it makes Quora look relatively authoritative by contrast.
Disclaimer, I don't speak German, but according to this weeks flyer from the Spar grocery store in their native Austria, you can apparently buy a 6-pack of Red Bull for 0.89 EUR each. That's roughly $1.05, so significantly cheaper than the $1.40/can it goes for at Walmart in the US.[1]

I don't know about the electorate, but other local officials certainly would. Most people can agree that the criminal justice system is broken and needs reform. But efforts to actually fix it are almost always painted as being "soft on crime" by fear mongering political opponents who care far less about reform than getting votes by any means necessary.

Well, no, they would be forced to choose the cases where they think they have the best odds of winning. And you'd end up with Japan, where confessions are extracted out of prisoners during pretrial detention and 99.9% of those brought to trial are convicted.

That said, even this would probably be an improvement, since plea bargains are an almost uniquely American horror.
The federal circuit's ruling is not precedent or binding in the 9th circuit.
Because of it's lack of jurisdiction, it doesn't supersede anything, not just "other circuits"
They have no subject matter jurisdiction over copyright, and so they only apply pre-existing regional law.
Their decisions on that pre-existing regional law have no force within that circuit.

This is similar to when federal courts have to apply state law.

I pay a global 43% on my salary which is not even in the 5 zeroes, but I am fine with it as long as everybody else do their part according to what they have.

This was a long time ago, so I don't remember the particulars, but it was in a large Fortran-based CFD flow solver code. The code used a lot of dynamically-allocated arrays, and somewhere in there we had a bug that would occasionally manifest itself in a crash. The problem of course was that we couldn't consistently reproduce it. This was before the days of really good memory debuggers, or at least, before we discovered such tools, so the bug just kind of lingered on for a long time.

The day I finally tracked it down was a red-letter day, for me personally anyways.

This morning, I received the email from Gawker saying my account had been compromised. I actually didn't remember having an account with them. I imagine I commented on Gizmodo at some point...

Anyway, the weird part is that I asked to reset my password (couldn't remember mine or it didn't work) and I received credentials to log in to an account that was clearly not mine, (only one comment made and definitely not from me) and the email address used was unlikely a typo.

They will benefit from a non-crashed economy.

A benefit based on average debt load might be an alternative or component. Pay off what you owe, or bank the excess.

Long-term structural fixes are also clearly required.

As your recent comment notes, unwinding loans and debt based on invalid assumptions through courts and bankruptcy is slow and painful. A debt jubilee cuts the Gordian knot.

The California and New York legislatures were already seriously looking at funding single payer healthcare in their states, largely pending a cooperative federal government. Covering the cost of hospitalization for at most 15% of their states would be a drop in the bucket. I wouldn't be surprised if California, Texas, and New York would be able to raise $100+ billion each in state bonds on rather favourable terms for healthcare expenses and direct stimulus despite the federal liquidity injections (or because of them, I can't figure whats going on there right now). It's not enough to keep the economic regions from collapsing and taking the rest of the country down with them long term, but it's probably enough for the people there until the federal response is adequate enough to take over.

If we're talking about the massive bailouts that'll need to happen for national security's sake, then I agree fully. There is no way any state can go it alone and at that point at least inflation spreads the pain a little bit more fairly, considering how bad multiple metropolitan regions collapsing would be for the rest of the country.
> - in France 50% of ICU patients are under 60

Likely because there are more people under 60 than over 60 who are alive in general -- that's the shape of the population curve, and 50-59 are pretty heavily affected too. The CDC data is probably a good place to start looking [1] as it aligns with other world health data. Even if 60+ are affected 2X as much as 50-59, if there are 10X as many 50-59s in the population then that number doesn't mean much. We need to see the curves.

> - for some people around 30 this more closely resemble to a very bad flu, with extra bonus symptoms

For the vast majority, yes.

> Most people have other preoccupations; but if you want to be seen as are seen the people who made a fortune during 9/11, by all means focus on that.

No, I want to be seen as someone who made a fortune during 2008. In order for someone sell their equity positions, there must by definition be a buyer. People who are panic selling would be far worse off if there were no buyers on the other side of those transactions. The price would then be $0. Perhaps they need the liquidity more than I do? To pay for necessities?

I agree on the Taiwan front, that's BS and annoying. But given WHO needed as much of China's cooperation at that time I can understand not wanting to aggravate them.

Really... Japan... because there is no history of tension between China and Japan that would make me doubt Japan's agenda here.

WHO is an international organisation, literally people from around the world work there... are ALL of these people actually secretly Chinese agents? Tell me how that works.

When i think about it - one language wont do it.
When you learn html/CSS - you will know how browser renders elements on the page, nothing else.
If you learn javascript - you wont know anything about server side.
If you learn PHP - it will complement your knowledge of html/css nicely, but you still need to know some javascript.

So my vote goes to PHP + javascript (+node.js) + HTML + CSS

Yup, it seems that it may be OK for me to claim the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion. Too bad I didn't know about it and stayed too long in the US during 2010-2012. Still... for 2013 and on, I think I can claim it.

Last piece of the puzzle is the tax home. I travel from country to country about every 3 months. Do I even have a tax home?
How on earth do any of those texts have any ability to inform our idea of 'what it is to be human' compared to the actual weight of evidence of what humans have been doing since the dawn of history? What a bizarre non-sequitur!
This was a terrible, very nearly statistics-free article (beyond one hand-wavey figure about possible future migration by 2100). It had about as much relevance and impact as stating that mounting fears of dog bites cause some to rethink living in neighborhoods with dogs. It's not even interesting as two case studies, if that was what it was attempting. This article was pure drivel.

That said, count me as one who is migrating due, at least partially, to fears of climate change, from a low coastal region further inland. There are other, and weightier, factors involved in the move, but climate change rendering my current town uninhabitable in the next few decades is one of them, and an important one. I would love to see the article this should have been, examining polling, statistics, and drawing possible inferences.

>He's said he intends to allow the maximum number of shareholders legally allowed to continue as shareholders, that is, the biggest investors get to not divest if they want

If this is a plausible scenario, and I don't know that it isn't, do you think it's what he means or is trying to express?

Because it seems to me that the way he says he'll keep the shareholders, it's intended to communicate to his countless groupies that they will somehow still be able to own Tesla in their Robinhood accounts. Which would be nonsense, right?
That sort of "flow typing" is extremely cool and I'd love to see it added to Rust. Perhaps something like mypy's proposed TypeGuard.

The concept of executive orders - particularly as it's being used in modern times - needs to be abolished.

We need sunset provisions on most legislation, requiring laws / regulations to be renewed every X years or they disappear. There are now 175,000 pages of Federal regulations. They're adding thousands of pages per year on average. Who could possibly have a grasp of what's in that? Most of the politicians that passed Obamacare didn't even bother to read it, and I suspect the same is true of most of the legislation passed in DC (most of which is written by lobbyists).

We need a strong separation of corporation and state, for the same reason we have a separation of church and state. They should not be allowed to corrupt each other; specifically noting that it works both ways.

We need a drastic IRS overhaul. Filing should be no more complicated than filling out six or seven lines spanning the size of an index card. Most deductions, loopholes, etc should be abolished. All corporate welfare should go away, including in energy and agriculture.

The ability to wage any type of war should require very specific Congressional approval, including limiting time and scope (requiring extensions otherwise). The ability of the executive to wage war without Congressional approval should be completely curtailed.

The Federal Reserve should either be abolished or neutered (reformed substantially and weakened). Its power to practically do anything it wants to financially must be stopped. It has created three nation shattering bubbles in the last 15 years, and is brewing two more right now on purpose (with the stated goal to generate asset inflation). The Fed is singularly responsible for enabling the profligate spending and general fiscal irresponsibility that has gone on in DC the last 13 years. Without their willingness to fund it all by devaluing the dollar, the vast military industrial complex, spying programs, wars, and insane budget deficits would be impossible.

Agreed, and the fact people here think insurance is not a scam is actually proving your point how they can't measure risks well even when pointed out to them.

If you house burns down, sure that's reasonably catastrophically bad, But if you house burns down, there's a fair chance it'll happen at night, and there's is a fair chance you'll die.

Don't spend money on insurance, spend it on stopping your house burning down.

If there's a risk of it happening then the money should be spent on reducing that risk, not wasting it on, if I survive at least I won't be poor.
> It's very easy to fuck up the implicit state tied to the connection, and this requires discipline to get right. It's very easy to ship unreliable software that then has issues based on the connection.

I agree with this and it's why I believe that Phoenix LiveView is the best solution to this problem. The programming model and tooling that you get with the BEAM (along with things Phoenix provides like PubSub) are the best there is to manage this complexity.

Loans... credit... meaning that they have to pay it back some day. How is this different from any other company in any other country lending money to grow? The original claim was an unlimited pumping of state money, which never has to be paid back, with the purpose of killing the competition.

And now that HKVision has 'won', have they raised prices and are they extorting the market, as the original claim said?

Well, they still need a search provider, a lot of people would change it to Google anyway. Arguably locking down the browser to limit tracking as much as possible is reasonable even though it potentially makes that Google deal less lucrative.

If they were intent on monetising users data, you’d expect them to make a deal with Google to allow tracking in Safari in exchange for a higher fee for default search.

In other words they don’t seem to be doing any of the things We would expect to see if this theory was correct.

“Their platform” has become the public square.

You might be better off to do a Station->AP wireless shot with a couple of Nanobeams if you're getting crap signal, if there is electricity where your signal is crap. If you'd like to use Ubiquiti, that is.
A surprisingly pleasant, albeit convoluted, way to install it is, if you're already using Nix and/or NixOS, to use home-manager (https://rycee.gitlab.io/home-manager/) for that. You just have to set the settings of your account, and it will automagically link together msmtp, mu, offlineimap and emacs/astroid.
It also illustrates the lack of competition due to US regulations preventing foreign exchanges (many of them signficiantly larger and cheaper than Coinbase) from serving US customers.

Very few people outside the US trade on Coinbase because they have monopoly margins.
We are having two different discussions here. I am having a technical discussion about how we should design privacy-preserving payment systems. I think we should design them to be as powerful as possible, since it is vastly harder to "strengthen" a weak system than it is to "selectively weaken" a powerful system if society decides to do that. Using this approach means that society gets the largest range of technology to choose from.

You are having a discussion about what solutions society should adopt, and whether multiple systems should be allowed. I think that's interesting but a very different conversation.

The only place where these two discussions interact is when technology developers proactively decide to make some kind of specific privacy/security compromise that they think is the right one. This means that societies who want privacy don't get it. It means that societies who want a different tradeoff don't get it. And the most likely outcome is nobody ever adopts the new system, and we get PayPal.

And I think it's really fun to work in kohana especially when you're just jumping around in the core which is surprisingly well written with it's thousands of lines.

So I must ask, is it really the language that's the problem when the project gets unfun at the 100 line mark or is it your attitude or aptitude that's getting in the way? Hell, my .conkyrc file (a config for a small monitoring app) I've just written is more than 100 lines!

I would love a real tool rental service that had everything and at good prices.

EDIT: my 4x4 cuts were straight. I can't imagine trying to do a 45deg cut with a circular saw...
