What you say is true and applies to ANY commodity market (or in fact any non-centrally regulated market): FX, precious metals, oil, textiles, fruits, etc.

I can set up my own independent exchange to trade, say, gold in the same way there are thousands of online gold exchanges. Then I can artificially inflate the gold prices on my exchange, using fictitious money (like the willy bot did), leading customers to come to me to trade their gold for high prices, and therefore impacting the worldwide market price of gold... at least a tiny little bit for a tiny little while... until customers find out that they can't withdraw their fictitious money from my exchange, so my sham and its impact ends right there. This is what happened to MtGox in February 2014.

The bigger the market you are attacking is, the less time it takes for the sham to be discovered, because the tiny percentage of people who try to benefit from the fictitious high prices quickly overwhelm your ability to fake solvency. A huge market like gold would pretty much suffer no effect due to its size. And as the Bitcoin market continues to grow, the hypothetical impact of such a sham should diminish over time.
Honestly, the GCHQ does seem a lot more brazenly nefarious than the NSA. A lot of the shit that comes out of the mouths of GCHQ spokespersons, shows open contempt and disdain for civil liberties and due process. At the NSA, it's more like they just don't respect those things, or think fighting terrorism/drug cartels/flavor of the month, is more important.

If I could choose to dismantle one or the other, I'd go with the NSA, but only because it has more capability. I definitely wouldn't want the sons-of-bitches in charge of the GCHQ, running the NSA.

You don't have children, do you?

Also, you wear your clothes at least 14 hours a day. That does not imply you need to buy the most expensive brands you can find, just that they need to fit their purpose. You can pay more than $1000 for an iPhone with 128 GB of storage, true. You can also buy an expandable device, add a 128GB (or bigger - up to 1 TB is available) and end up paying half that price (or less).
Seeing /announce reminded me of this:

Using DHT is also a particularly effective way of getting massive amounts of UDP traffic directed at you, which does not stop even after stopping the torrents. It subsides eventually, but can be quite irritating.
I wonder what the cost savings to space there are for buying a trip for a satellite on a "used" booster. Also if SpaceX is recycling the 1st stage, I wonder if they have plans to "Recycle" the 2nd stage in orbit.
Agreed. These games are designed so you can start with any of them and still have a good time and be able to follow the story, just like any major movie action movie series. Sure, you might not follow quite everything if you haven't played/seen what came before, but you'll follow enough so it really won't be a problem.
Compile C to Wasm and run in a Rust hosted Wasm sandbox.
That could be big for the fashion industry.
Windows isn't great... It's a single product of many from a very large company, and one that other than the assigned computer at work, I don't typically use. Beyond that, I don't mind the telemetry so much, though their decision to emphasis telemetry over test labs and staff is irritating.

Also, been a few hours since I read TFA, but isn't even a focus of TFA.

They aren't locking their services and much new software into windows, and aren't using windows to leverage other things in ways that don't make any sense.
>That multinational company is probably going to put your data in an unsecured s3 bucket or a company-accessible excel spreadsheet.

Yeah that's what I thought, like many of them don't really care about it...
Yes. You already don't have the right to choose your customers based on race, religion, or sex. Homosexuality is as unchangeable as any of those things, and it's actually possible to change religion.

This is the exact same argument that was made during segregation and slavery in the US[1]. You shouldn't be allowed to be racist, sexist, or any other type of bigot just because you think a man in the sky wants you to be.

It’s the pure simplicity.
What are your definition of concurrency and parallelism?
Right I can see how it's a cleaner conceptual model, but less boilerplate code is also valuable. But in your edit, I see how easy it is to add it by hand, which is far preferable. Thanks!
Agree on 1,2 and 3 - they are jobs you don't want really.

I don't get offended by 4 (although I don't have 17 years of coding experience :); I understand the need for them to weed out the really incompetent ones. Think of this as a store clerk asking for your ID when you purchase cigarettes.

6 is, IMO, the biggest cause for false negatives. The interviewer feels that she gave ample hints, but really all she ascertained was that you did not have a crystal ball.

I also think that the interviewer anti-loop that Steve Yegge mentions (http://steve-yegge.blogspot.com/2008/03/get-that-job-at-goog...) contributes to the false negatives.

_Well, back when I was at Amazon, we did (and they undoubtedly still do) a LOT of soul-searching about this exact problem. We eventually concluded that every single employee E at Amazon has at least one "Interview Anti-Loop": a set of other employees S who would not hire E._
I have been watching this ebook phenomenon with amazement. I bought 1 e-book: Learning Python. I bought it through almost every store, to see where it works best. Online, offline, laptop, tablet, desktop, phone. My favorite setup: ePub from O'Reilly (no digital restrictions management) on Stanza (not a slave to one store) on the iPad (works offline).

I spent a ton of money on that book, but I found out what works best for me. And I stand to gain something at the end of reading that book. I can't imagine reading contemporary novels when I haven't finished the classics yet. $1 for a contemporary novel seems like I'm paying someone to take 20 hours off my life. It's like whittling, only worse.
Going back to the HBGary situation (again), I think it's clear that many of the firms that work with the government stretch the definition of legitimacy pretty far.

The story of the teenaged arms dealers also sheds some light on acceptable behaviour by those the US military contracts out to: http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/news/the-stoner-arms-de...
To remain certified, MDs must taking Continuing Medical Education classes every year and a recertification exam every 6-7 years (I think). I believe attorneys have some similiar requirements
Depending on the exposure, you can also see noise in photos taken in space. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/archive/9/95/2... is a decent example. The cameras used by the ISS crew are pretty high-quality, so I doubt all those hot spots are from a bad sensor. They're most likely cosmic rays.
Oh great another 9 headed beast.
Note that this is an alogirthmic improvement, and the same algorithm wasn't implemented on the GPU version they are comparing it to.

I don't see any particular reason why we wouldn't see a similar speedup with the GPU version.
Maybe helpful to you or others: I have a similar startup architecture, Django apps on K8, and found that AWS Fargate extracted a lot of the madness away. Still not a walk in the park but it does a lot of crap for you. Been $300/month servicing light traffic.
Yeah like these people think you need a PhD to tell the working class has been getting fucked here in this country for the last 40 years. Real wages are flat, housing is through the roof, manufacturing jobs offshoring left entire regions destitute, healthcare costs skyrocketed, there's lead in the tapwater... but apparently if we think globalization is bad (or that the myth of the free market) we're uneducated - while the CCP sends jets to intimidate Taiwan and even Ford can't get semiconductors.

We're going to finally increase taxes on corporations and the government is going to spend freely on semiconductors and R&D like they did in the 50's and 60's, but these things are... bad, compared to the last 40 years of policy?

Citation needed.

There needs to be a clear delineation between "globalization" (we're all multicultural and can all be friends - this is true and good) and "globalization" (we compete for the bottom of the barrel pricing with people who throw the untreated water from the factory into the local river - this is bad).
> [...] still strange to me but has become normal.

Social proof will do that. Doesn't matter how weird something looks, if the appearance becomes associated with wealth in the public consciousness, people will start thinking it looks cool and coming up with reasons why.
Yes, the UI Events ‘code’ field represents the physical key (essentially 1:1 with USB hardware codes). The key that's labelled ‘W’ on a US keyboard and ‘Z’ on a French keyboard and ‘Ц’ on a Russian keyboard and ‘て’ on a Japanese keyboard (and so on) will have code=="KeyW" in all cases.
Or have Bluetooth disabled by default for my brain.

The game examples were super fascinating, but since I was already essentially familiar with the fundamental principles and technology, it didn't quite impact me as much as the researcher pairing his iPhone with a Bluetooth transceiver in the monkey's brain. That sent weird shivers down my spine.

If the anthropic principle is at work, then there might be very little (accessible at our energies) left to learn that is truly fundamental. It might be an article of faith, but I believe that there is more to know.

If you elect to believe in the anthropic principle, one might continue to delve into fundamental research in order to ask the question, "What configuration of all possible universes is required in order to win the lottery of all lotteries?" That is a pretty awesome question, too. It is the lottery of all lotteries, after all.

In either case, deeper research is likely to turn up new and deeply-interesting surprises. Those surprises are likely to be resolved with improved theories with greater predictive power regarding the universe in which we live.
Digitizing consciousness is a much harder problem, because we don't really understand how much of the brain works, the areas involved with conscious thought in particular, and the exact learning mechanisms the brain employs. The way we do deep learning these days is a very rough approximation of how the brain might work, and backpropagation is not really biologically plausible. So IMO, digitized consciousness is probably two to three orders of magnitude harder than this demo we're seeing here. Could unfortunately be a century away or more.

However, the medical applications should come much sooner. What they've shown is amazing. The monkey's control of the paddle seems to be precise and fast. If people who are paralyzed and wheelchair bound just had a way to operate the wheelchair, a robot arm, and communicate with the outside world reliably, that would already be amazing. If we could somehow reconnect their nerves or give them some kind of mechanized suit, it could be even better... And if Neuralink's tech works, that could be only 10-15 years away.

So you've found a tool that works great for your purposes. Why is that a bad thing?
Traders to other investors. Usually Wall Street traders have some valuation model based on revenue. If the target isn't met, that reduces their model's price.

Some people are less sophisticated and will just buy CloudFlare because they want to buy into the company. It's also possible that the price just adjusts to the new level (though usually there is some volume at every pip)
Neither does React's dangerouslySetInnerHTML. What both of these do is mark a potentially dangerous operation with an in-your-face warning message that you have to go out of your way to ignore. Which in practice is very useful, as often the biggest problem with security issues is not know what you don't know. It's impractical to review the entire codebase on a regular basis, and it can be hard to know which bits to focus on.
I think you give a very good overview, especially by counterpointing the relevance to other Europeans. Nevertheless, even within Netherlands, there is a question of whether 1% is the maximum you could get from these corporations and still leave them with a profit. Could it be 2% or 3% etc. instead? If yes, who pockets part of the difference that is not pursued?
Neither will the % of the population of London who are bankers compared to who are not. So not a fair comparison at all.
I feel you. First how bad that feels and second, the amount of time you need to spend in fighting these things :/
John Mueller even said himself: https://twitter.com/johnmu/status/913222203071594496

This is not an isolated thing, negative SEO attacks happen on a daily basis, mostly intention but I bet you there are some accidental ones too.

If neg SEO still worked efficiently, then SEO's would be focusing on spamming their competition instead of investing in quality content and backlinks.

Like any case, disavow the links if you need, then move on and continue to build content Google likes with quality backlinks.
Of course it does:

It doesn't count it in language statistics, though.
Turning three-letter-agency requests into consumer 'features' since 2001.
Greenyoda's comment that "speaking a language the police don't understand should be a crime by this logic" is I think the neatest encapsulation of the issues. It gets around all the technical issues and worries and strikes at the heart of the problem - the police should and can put away criminals without needing access to the private conversations the criminals have. Fingerprints, CCTV, loot stashed under the bed have all been good enough for a long time now.

The crimes that are committed solely online are few and mostly fraud by deception. There are clear issues with deceiving people in a language they don't understand.

So I like the metaphor (or analogy I'm not sure)
> If enough of those tiny little shell companies get...

They are so easy to setup that you'll never win that race. It'll cost you in time and other resource every time, and you'll get nothing back, and while you are faffing around with one ten more companies are ready to go.
It also completely breaks the game economy and experience if you can bring a bunch of random valuable stuff with you when you start.
Apparently the creator was 22 at the time. I wonder if he ever kept the phones in a warehouse, or just used dropshipping.

Really not a bad business idea on his part, just highly unethical. I'd imagine you could just send the factory a custom ROM for the device, provide them with custom branding, and have them ship to the buyer's doorstep at a $380 markup. No warehouse or investment necessary, just a store website and a bunch of marketing $$$
Importantly, learn to modulate the level of technical detail at which you describe things and establish trust with your intended audience that your level of technical detail matches the nature of the problem. This gives your audience a clue that when you throw around jargon, it's because there's a subtlety in the implementation detail that breaks the abstraction and they need to care about it.

There's a difference between "This is a problem with our search indexing and we need to..." and "This a problem with Lucerne which is a search indexer. The tricky thing is, Lucerne implements search differently and because of that, ... and so we need to ... instead of ...".
There's also a "Barbary coast" referring to a red light district in San Francisco that was established after the gold rush and more or less died around the depression (I'll be putting out a multipart podcast on the history of it and how it helped lead to the Beat generation of City Lights, the culture of alternative lifestyles and Barbrook's "the California Ideology" starting in about a week or so - and yes, for history nerds I know the more proper arc is a PNW agglomeration, but I'm doing a pinhead focus to have a narrative flow tolerable to general audiences)

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbary_Coast,_San_Francisco

Here's a quote about the district from 1876 (excuse the colorful language)

"The Barbary Coast is the haunt of the low and the vile of every kind. The petty thief, the house burglar, the tramp, the whoremonger, lewd women, cutthroats, murderers, all are found here. Dance-halls and concert-saloons, where blear-eyed men and faded women drink vile liquor, smoke offensive tobacco, engage in vulgar conduct, sing obscene songs and say and do everything to heap upon themselves more degradation, are numerous. Low gambling houses, thronged with riot-loving rowdies, in all stages of intoxication, are there. Opium dens, where heathen Chinese and God-forsaken men and women are sprawled in miscellaneous confusion, disgustingly drowsy or completely overcome, are there. Licentiousness, debauchery, pollution, loathsome disease, insanity from dissipation, misery, poverty, wealth, profanity, blasphemy, and death, are there. And Hell, yawning to receive the putrid mass, is there also."
- Asbury, in Benjamin Estelle Lloyd's Lights and Shades of San Francisco (1876) (full excerpt https://archive.org/details/lightsshadesinsa00lloy/page/78/m...)
The tax on income disincentivizes meaningful productive work. If you have to pay out $50 for every $100 you make, you would probably just not bother putting in the effort.

As grandparent said, every tax causes this kind of incentive. So people thought long about what was the least worst of all the options and came up with LVT and similar ideas. They cause the minimum harm to the economy and have the least side effects and "unintended consequences"
I buy chicken at a farmer‘s market from a farmer which has different breeds and few chickens. This reduces the amount of medicine used. The chicken is so slim that my wife first complained. Of course I pay 3 times the regular price but although I donˋt earn a FAANG salary I can afford it. Just eat less! I also recommend to visit once a chicken farm and wonder why there are dead chickens. Alternatively watch some YouTube videos.
> positive rights should not exist

That's like, your opinion man, and I don't know if you mean aspirationally, as in, there shouldn't be racist classist assholes out there so we shouldn't need positive rights to protect the dignity we all deserve, or you mean you so libertarian you side with the racist classist assholes like Ayn Rand, but surely if you meant to debate Kant and Shue: I wouldn't be the first to argue that a fundamental right to freedom is worthless if people aren't able to exercise that freedom, and you can just google search "criticisms of the virtue of selfishness" if you want; People write proper papers and thesis on this stuff, not internet comments.

So I still won't comment on whether positive rights should or should not exist, and instead say it is undignified to have to live in fear and that a lack of equity fosters fear, and ideologically I don't care how we do it, so I believe it ethical to support things like traffic laws, minimum-wage laws, health-and-safety laws especially in farms, restaurants and hotels, and maybe even a commuter-premium to prevent companies from exploiting another way humans are willing to degrade themselves.
I can’t find the exact video but I have seen similar to these in videos from military expo’s

I want whatever I say I want.

There is no reason for legitimate filtering not to be voluntary, like the default porn filter that you have the option to disable.

I still have access to my spam folder, and unsolicited communication is not the same as search results. If I search for something, then I searched for it. I am THE ONLY person who may judge the value of the results.

The search engine's job is only to tell me what's there, not to tell me what I want.
I hate that feeling. The real me is kind of an asshole. I let a lot of people see that at a previous job and now I can't be around any of them any more. I've worked hard to be someone else where I'm at now and I've been mostly successful. When I let my guard down I caused a minor shitstorm with my peers, but I was able to tamp it down.

It's absolutely imperative to keep my real self away from work. I'm hoping I can keep this up long enough to retire early, and then I can just be me.
Thanks for posting the #lisp chat, it's got some good discussion about the project.

I'm surprised how quiet this guy has been for years, don't ever seem to remember seeing him in IRC!
Yeah, as NixNote user, I wouldn't mind switching away from Evernote as a back end. But a web-only UI is a blocker for me.
Wow, this is incredibly disgusting. To claim that children belong to the community is full-blown communalism, and the end of individual rights. This is one fine distinction away from claiming that we are all property of the State.

Parents have an obligation to protect their children, and you are attacking that.

Taxation is not an "investment" and does not confer rights. It is non-contractual; it is merely force; it is not entered into voluntarily. You cannot start any valid argument with "Taxation, therefore..." If you don't like paying for WIC and Food Stamps, advocate against those taxes.
whats the solution? less workforce?

Across a population this kind of 'bad luck' can have huge economic costs, and is a massive drag on innovation and productivity.

It's not just about personal stories.

Falcolas might not have been able to borrow $100, and would likely have ended up somewhere very different.

And the startup economy would have been down by one potential developer.

You might think 'There are others' - and you'd be right.

But the effects scale. If enough people don't get a break, opportunities shrink across the landscape.
Nukes don't need to wipe out every square inch as the author implies. They only need to cause covid-like, ukraine-like interference to our infrastructure to reduce our planet to the iron age and only capable of supporting a fraction of its current population.
The article mentions nukemap
and says it targets the center of each city, whereas in real life infrastructure (of military significance) would be targeted. As far as I can tell that's the assumption on which the entire article rests.
The US frequently inspects Russian nuclear facilities and vice versa per the New START Treaty.
They used two separate searches for where the T was. Didn't bother with an OR in code, just listed the results manually.
If you want to force people to lie or remain silent about what you consider a dangerous truth despite it being discernibly false in order to maintain a convenient fiction soviet style you probably aren't actually a libertarian.
