Yes, I agree it's just bits.

But, ultimately people will inevitably try to claim ownership, control it, use it, and prevent others from using it. Equally, those who create it will wish for it to remain private.

Agreed, ISIS is not the only Muslim terrorist group.

But not all Muslims identify with Wahhabism (which percentage of the total Muslim population is Wahhabi?), nor live in Saudi Arabia. It's also not automatically true that all Wahhabis, even if more intolerant, want to murder the infidel.

Again, your conclusion about Muslims being fundamentally blood-thirsty is unsupported. The fact remains that most Muslims don't want to kill you.
There's also the restriction of no encryption or commercial traffic. Still pretty nifty though.
So here's an interesting question: if you sell fake weapons (or weapons materials) to a terrorist organization as part of a scam, is it illegal?

Normally, selling weapons to terrorists would be illegal. But these aren't actually weapons.

And normally, scamming people would be illegal. But you're scamming terrorists trying to carry out an illegal transaction.

I'm sure the answer is, yes, it's illegal. But it's an odd situation and I'm not quite clear as to how it works out.

Those terms end up collecting far more than coding bootcamps normally charge, so one of two things is going on. The first possibility is that the academy either believes that many of its graduates will not find high paying jobs and that they therefore need to recoup lost costs from those graduates that do find work. The second is that they're looking to exploit their potential recruits' present poverty by charging them far more in future dollars than anyone would pay in present dollars.

Neither option reflects well on the people who run this bootcamp.

Seeing Grace Hopper's name makes me smile.

ISIS is successfully organizing and recruiting using these channels. Is there any indication at all that these channels allowed dissenting voices to reach ISIS supporters? That these voices had any impact on them at all? That if they had any impact, it was large enough to be a worthwhile tradeoff?

This idea that just by talking to someone no matter their opinion or how extreme they are in pursuing it, you can convince them to be wrong, may be attractive but it's questionable at best. American politics, conspiracy theorists, antisemites, nazis there is absolutely no shortage of people with extreme opinions that are confronted with dissenting voices. You will find it challenging to find these voices having any positive impact at all though.
Square Cash uses the refund rails, no? And aren't those actually free (albeit an exploit of the transfer system)?

A while ago, someone wrote to Systers (a highly activated women in CS e-mail list) the following, which is highly accurate:

---

What a great business model Grace Hopper Academy has.

First, you find women who are very smart and highly motivated. You make sure they are highly motivated by making them take the first part of the course online. (Massive Open Online Courses have a completion rate of 10%, and the vast majority people finishing them already have a Bachelor's degree). The cost to run the online course is very cheap, and now you are guaranteed to have easy students only.

You then teach these easy students Javascript stuff for one semester. (13 weeks).

Then you take 22.5% of their year's paycheck once they have a nice job -- and they will have a nice job because they are very smart and motivated. If they make $70,000, that's $15,750 a pop.

A state university education in Ohio is $12,000 for 15 weeks by the way. Other bootcamps range from free to $21000 with median around $8000. (Grace Hopper Academy is not the only one to get tuition paid via a cut of your pay after graduation either). http://www.skilledup.com/articles/the-ultimate-guide-to-codi...

The Dean of Grace Hopper Academy has no academic credentials listed whatsoever, nor is there any information about the instructors. Do they have academic credentials? Do they have industry experience and teaching experience? Do they have names? Are any of them female?

Buyer beware.

That's not expert discussion, that's just low infrmation ranting. It is more informative to note that the most wanted terrorists in the world were using it to communicate publicly with impunity.
I was kinda hoping from the name that the first COBOL bootcamp had opened.
Fundamentally there are two types of programmers, those who are interested in programming in all it's forms and actively seek out communities with similar interests (you see this in framework communities and language communities particularly) and those who don't, the second set may be good programmers or not (I'd suspect having met some of them that the average second set programmer is not as capable as the first set but that's anecdotal).

They also tend to be the ones who use whatever tool they are using for a long time and argue "good enough is good enough" as a justification for not learning new things.

I know this is a horribly broad generalization but I have seen it repeat constantly over time, you also tend to find them working for large organisations or on legacy stuff that wasn't legacy when they wrote it.

Again, horribly broad generalization and some enterprise programmers are amazing.
Do you really think you can persuade members of a death suicide cult to come to their senses so easily after years of brainwashing?

Have you ever tried convincing an athiest that there is a god, or a christian that there isn't a god?
Not sure. I know Google's IPO was during a time that wasn't favorable, but it also had a strong B2C brand, which would have biased investors and made the auction more favorable.
Normally, with a C-Corp, there's double taxation. The company pays taxes on the profit, and then shareholders pay taxes on the dividends they receive. But what the shareholder pays is effective his individual tax -- not corporate.

And, I'm guessing Albania has individual income tax. Also, I'm pretty sure most of those countries with low or zero corporate taxes have individual income taxes.
This is a totally plausible theory, but I'd also point out that all dark pool trades get reported through the TRF; it's not just retail internalizers. The spread on SQ is also 1 cent, which tends to lead to more dark trading.

Doesn't that sort of depend on what you consider a human cell? Our gut bacteria is supposed to be fairly important to us, and something that might affect it on a large scale might have consequences.

Note, that I'm not saying that bacteriophage use if harmful, just that you have to be careful when discounting possible harmful side-effects. History is rife with examples of new safe health technologies that we only understand the negative aspects of later.

You're mistaking the leaders and the brainwashed.

Underestimating or dehumanizing your opponent is a sure-fire way to lose a war. These people don't get supporters by merely "waiting for the crazy to hop in". They brainwash the weak. It's far more effective to weaken or remove the framework that allows this brainwashing to happen, than to lump everybody into the crazybucket.

There's a fundamental misunderstanding here. Telegram banned a public channel. These public channels do not feature end-to-end encryption.
The 'no encryption' rule is there to make sure amateur radio can not be (easily) used for nefarious purposes. Of course two people with Yagi's, very low power transmitters and a couple of very low bandwidth modems could still use the amateur bands (or any other frequency, really) to exchange information without anybody being the wiser. If they manage to be on the hoof while transmitting and are on the air for a very short time only then they could probably keep such a scheme alive for a really long time before being detected.

I remember the google IPO well; I had resolved to only do trades my advisor liked at the time (I was 25 or so and well meaning, really!)

The street hated Google's Dutch auction, and refused to push it to retail investors; a very unusual move at the time. The IPO estimates were at one point over $100, but if I recall correctly, the auction dropped down into the $80s, at which point at least one of the VCs pulled out of the IPO completely, preferring to hold their shares.

Anyway, despite these incredibly bullish indicators, my advisor didn't like the IPO.

It was very complicated to participate in too; you couldn't go through your normal channels. I think the complexity would be easily manageable by a modern UI/UX pro; the underlying market mechanics aren't that difficult. But hitting '90s era UI/UX with unwilling brokers was a tall order.
I thought the real reason was that fewer and fewer industries are labor-intensive? New grads aren't the only ones who can't get hired.

There's only one solution, give everyone free food/housing/healthcare/jobs. (Not just money, because that will just bid up the price of everything.)

If you're unemployed, vote for a stronger social safety net. That will not only yield free stuff for you, but also reduce the amount of hungry people competing with you for every job. Total no-brainer.
The real root of the problem is lack of regulation. A scarce resource like the last mile copper and cable, is owned by the oligopoly of Comcast, AT&T and a few others. This constitutes in essence a monopoly, which are illegal for obvious reasons and led to the breakup of the old AT&T. Other countries have a last-mile sharing requirement, like for example in Germany. This provides at least a modicum of competition and consumer choice in the ISP market.

[EDIT] Corrected wrong assumption that old AT&T was government owned.

How much overhang? (wondering if this a Groupon like thing where the number of shares floated was so small that any demand would have a big upswing, or if the upswing was based on a reasonable fraction of the shares outstanding.)
The proper conclusion is that Square raised a lot less money than it could have raised, and investment bankers are very happy with the cream they are skimming off the top for their friends.

I know a guy who has induced strokes in beagles while they were anesthetized and inside an MRI. In the past we were never able to see a stroke occur and the brain's response in real time.

Even if they don't control it, wouldn't a heavy user be able to build a probabilistic model of where the coins went? If you are 99% of the volume on a tumbler, you know with near certainty that your adversary's coins are being swapped with your own. Paying tumbler fees or even making massive amounts of small-loss bets on a gambling site is well within the resources of a state actor. Bitcoin is small. Eventually real money has to be taken in or out of the system, which gives them a smaller set of individuals to target for investigation.

One of the few lessons to stick with me from high school English was during the lesson on irony, when a student asked "Is sarcasm the same thing as irony?" and the teacher thought about it for a moment, before responding that, yes, it is, kind of, but it's the lowest form of irony.

I really enjoy irony in life and in literature, so I try to avoid sarcasm as to not cheapen the fun of "higher" forms of irony (like finally understanding Alanis Morisette's "Ironic").

I provide network engineering/support for biomedical research in low- to middle-income countries, and I can tell you right now all of the controls that apply to human research ${here} also apply to human research ${over there}. You can't just round up a bunch of undesirables, perform a bunch of tests on them, and publish it as science. Any human studies that do not provide adequate human subject protection would not be allowed to be used in any kind of regulated clinical trial, and no regulatory authority or reputable scientific forum would accept as valid such a study's conclusions. To give some examples of the relevant regulatory frameworks:

Ok, we added 'public' to the title.
this is the real story
"The median duration of employees in these jobs isn't very long to begin with, about three months." from the article

Service work is scandalously undervalued. I would think that if the technocrats were motivated, they could create tax codes and whatnot to gradually correct this (socialism), and then we would also see an accompanying decrease in: illness, crime, as well as the birth of a real discussion about the purpose of public education, which is now a farce which at best looks for models that will give one group of kids a temporary edge over their neighbors.
If we will always need some amount of service work, then we will never need all students to "get ahead (of their peers...)", and this would be so much more tolerable if we would finally begin to value the entire bell curve.
This does look like it violates the Outer Space Treaty, so we'll have to withdraw from that.

Also no rocket regulations is eventually going to make Kessler Syndrome a reality.
The bankers typically grant IPO shares to a good mix of long-term and short-term holders.
Rephrase the question more like: "How is the US Congress able to tax incomes earned by American citizens/companies in France?"

If China (the government) were to go into space and start mining things, the US would likely be limited to diplomatic recourse, or if objectionable enough, perhaps war. Clearly, American government does not directly control Chinese government, but does have influence over it.

If a Chinese mining company (not the government) goes into space and starts mining, the American government's course of action is likely limited to pleading with the Chinese government to restrict their mining companies from being able to do so, using the aforementioned diplomatic measures as bargaining chips in the negotiation.

If however, an American mining company wants to go mine an asteroid, the US government is assuming a total control / responsibility of their actions, even while those actions are not on US soil, or even on any terran soil whatsoever. Because the US government believes it controls all US companies to the extent that they do, they believe that they could forbid an American company from mining resources not in America, or in this case, not even on Earth.

This assertion is them saying that they either don't care if mining companies mine asteroids and other planets, or that they might actually acknowledge that they don't have the power to forbid it. I haven't been following it closely enough to say which kind of concession it is.
It would be fraud, unless the seller believed that it was actually a weapon because intent comes into play. But the victim would have to come forward to file a complaint with a legal authority. Which is possible because there are examples of people going to police after being scammed in a drug deal.

I wish it would happen, it would make for an entertaining case.
That's pretty bad, and at Harvard no less. You'd expect better from a prestigious place like that.
Yes, if the 65816 (or something similar) came out in 1978 (the same year as 8086, 6809 and 68000), we'd probably be in a very different world. In the late 70's, the Apple II was the dominant business machine, because it was the best machine to run Visicalc. But in the 80's, Lotus 1-2-3 on PC completely demolished Visicalc, and the IBM PC hegemony began.

Of course, given how badly Apple screwed up the Apple III, it's unlikely even the 65816 could have saved it.

Action #1: Search most recent analysis timeframe (approx. 15 mins.)
of IPDR usage data.

Question #2: Are any users consuming an average of OVER 70% of
provisioned upstream bandwidth for OVER 15 minutes?

Result #2: No action taken.

Result #3: Change user's upstream traffic from Priority Best Effort
(PBE) to Best Effort (BE).

Question #3: Is the user in Best Effort (BE) consuming an average
of LESS THAN 50% of provisioned upstream bandwidth
over a period of 15 minutes?

Result #4: Change user's upstream traffic back to Priority Best
Effort (PBE) from Best Effort (BE).
As someone who records a lot of different amateur voice people daily for language courses, I'd have to disagree with some of this.

It's generally an OK guide, but I would suggest the mic recommendations are incorrect. I'd like to see an AT2020 USB in the mid-range and Heil PR-40 on the higher end. It's cheaper and significantly better sound. I own the H4N for mobile recording, but the quality really doesn't come close to a proper broadcast mic like Shure SM7B or the Heil. You can hear the Heil from a lot of pro podcasters and the SM7B on Marc Maron's WTF and a lot of radio hosts.

It also glosses over the use of mic arms, pop filters in getting pro sound. It's geared towards on-the-go recording and the quality will be nothing like a studio result.
That's not necessarily accurate if the pop today is being caused by average public investors. As someone else noted, it would mean main street likes the stock more than Wall Street.
