Unless, god forbid, you need the latest ImageMagick on Debian. Or heckloads of other software. I believe the commenter you replied to is much more correct than you. Application packaging / tracking up-to-date system and user packages is very far from a solved problem. On many Linuxes doing a system-wide upgrade is 90% of the time guarantee that part of your system will stop working. This has been mine, and many other people's, experience.

I tinker with Debian ever since [circa] 2005 and periodically try to install it on an ancient laptop I keep around. Many commenters above are right in saying that desktop Linux has actually been more stable years ago, and I agree with them. I want to have a universal OS based on Linux but let's face it, nobody has gotten it right just yet, and let's face even more harsher truth, I don't think this generation of users will ever see anything even remotely close to what it will eventually look like in the future.

Same thing in my big town -- Chicago. Some parts of Chicago you get RCN competing, which is amazing. They have 100mb plans for $40 a month. But for most people, myself included, you pay $80/mo for "50mb" internet that really runs at about 20mb 80% of the time, 2-3mb 15% of the time, and totally not working at all 5% of the time.

Neat. In Pittsburgh, I think all the buses now have GPS and report their location. There's an app that displays the locations of buses on the routes you select.

Alas, I've seen several cases in which the bus's labeling is in error, with the driver calling out the correct route to people at bus stops. Sadly that doesn't affect the reported route or correct what the app displays.
The researchers focused exclusively on developers in the R language ecosystem, and as far as I can tell they scope the claims in their paper to only the R ecosystem. For whatever reason, the headline and lede instead emphasize a piece of pure speculation toward the end of the paper (generalizing to other open source communities) rather than the actual substance of the paper (exclusivley focused on the R ecosystem, and not even claiming that their results fully generalize even to all R developers, let alone all OSS developers).

Here's why I think this work doesn't generalize: Academics and people who don't primarily identify as software engineers are over-represented in the R community, when compared against other open source projects. I think the set of answers you'd get from e.g., the developers of more traditional types of open source projects (editors, compilers, databases, games, OSes, frameworks/libraries, etc.) are fundamentally different.

While I'm on my soap box, the other mistake that researchers who study open source developers often make is focusing on very successful open source projects, and then implicitly or explicitly generalizing those results to the huge hoard of open source developers. (Implicit generalization goes something like this: Intro: there are so many open source developers -- understanding their motivation is important! -- Actual study: let's look at the motivation of contributors to the top 1% of projects -- Conclusion: we think these results generalize to other projects. Note that the authors of this study avoid this pattern, but the journalist doesn't.) But of course, the motivations of the vast majority of OSS developers are going to be fundamentally different from those developers who have built extremely successful and high-profile systems.

Overall, I think this is a really nice and interesting paper about the R ecosystem. I just wish the journalist had chosen a different headline and lede.

Cool idea for the hackers out there:

Use public transport data from all the sources below, overlap them on Google aerial view, change the dots to 'top view' images of buses, and let the users follow buses in 'real time' across 'real life' map. It'll be like a real-time satellite imagery!

I don't know about all VPN technologies, but OpenVPN does authentication with client and server certificates. Just spoofing the WiFi router is not going to let you spoof that.
That's not how it works on a decent VPN system.

If you try to do that, the VPN client will notice that the spoofed server isn't presenting a valid certificate or doesn't use a valid key, and refuse to connect. Same reason you can't "just" middleman an HTTPS connection.

Besides, there's no need to spoof. The point of the VPN connection is to protect against the wifi router (even the legitimate one!) reading the traffic. By spoofing, you're just replacing a dodgy wifi router with another dodgy router.

It's impossible to track bitcoins when people transfer in and out of other currencies between bitcoin addresses.

The process is called tumbling, and it's primarily how bitcoin tax evaders use it now to get around the "public ledger".
The article seems to mix "thin" and "normal weight" all the time, being just poorly written. Including underweight people and normal people in the "thin" category is a major mistake.

Also, this quote is troubling:
"That people at higher weights are going to be OK."

Not only NOTHING in the article supports that, almost every single piece or research shows the opposite: that in general, people at higher weights have much higher mortality rates. The article just shows that, when some chronic diseases are present, overweight people seem to fare better than non-overweight (which I take includes underweight people).

Even if they fare better under certain very specific conditions, in general they fare quite worse. Source:
http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/questions/ask-th...
AFAIK a plausible thesis for why overweight is correlated with better health is that the extra fat means greater energy stores in times of crisis. Basically, if you're thin and you get sick or injured, your body doesn't have the resources to heal itself effectively.
Why would that work on a DSL?
Ah okay. I meant 'bluff' in the sense that there's no objective value here so any discussion over created value is basically just a matter of opinion/gut feeling/confidence.

For me it was basically just a metaphor for negotiating over intangibles; without the apparent connotation of cheating your partner out of something.

> We have no idea how many attacks have been prevented

Yes, we do. We know ALL of the FBI's high profile terrorism cases. Apart from the Tsarnaev brothers, it has been all cases where one or more fools got snared by a provocateur.

So unless you believe that there is a secret system of arrest, a secret court that hears terrorism trials, and secret prisons all operating inside the US, we know exactly how effective mass surveillance of the US population has been in preventing terrorism.
Late 1980s joke: "How many people work at DEC?" "About a quarter of them."

Pay increases were a percentage of each group's payroll. Several groups had CTs (corporate turkeys). These were highly compensated people with a dotted line relationship to Dr. Bell's No Output Division. The deal was, they could work on NOD projects to their hearts' content, but they should not expect raises. That allowed the raise budget to be spent on the other folks.

For a while they had a policy that poor performers had their performance reviews delayed. This meant that you couldn't tell if it was you yourself who was incompetent, or your manager. (Incompetent managers often were late doing performance reviews for their people.)

Now all that's left is the Digital Credit Union. It's sad; they had many great people and some great products.

What is your default throttling algorithm?
My understanding is that with newer CBTC signalling systems--not sure if Berlin is using that--the trains know pretty much exactly where they are on the track, along with the positions of all other trains, speeds, braking distance, etc. This allows the trains to run closer together than they could using fixed block signalling technology. It's not required for full automation, but it makes full automation relatively simple.

The L train in New York is an example of where this is installed. My understanding is this means the two staff on the train are redundant; the driver pretty much just provides acknowledgement to the train to keep doing its thing, and the conductor only opens and closes doors and makes announcements (if that). They would run with only a single staff member except for union rules.
Stay classy!

At first, I thought about this very negatively.

Then, I remembered how awful and idiotic most of my HR managers were. The parameters they used to select people were all based on their own biased upper-class background.

Now, an algorithm, if well-written, could grasp many other parameters that would be much more relevant. Innate and applicable abilities an HR manager would never consider.

I'm a big supporter of bitcoin and I have a superficial understanding of how the public ledger works, but why is it not incredibly easy to launder money through bitcoin? Since the currency is fungible, aren't there services that allow you to send bitcoins and it will send move your bitcoin around through many other accounts, including bitcoin from deposits of others? The end result being that the end state of some bitcoin cannot be traced back to the origin. How would someone reasonably trace that with any degree of certainty?

A way to sort or filter Web searches (sites, articles, posts, comments) by the IQ and or age of the person who wrote it. This would help people to minimise low-quality content.

There are various obstacles and abuses to be resolved, but it would still be nice to have a feature like this available. At the same time, I imagine that society would not currently accept such a proposition.
Bataclan the sexy cabaret
This isn't fair -- the researcher's claim is that intrinsic motivations are part of R developer's motivations, and actually designed their study to determine to what role intrinsic motivations play in OSS development.

Even by the second page of the paper it's very clear the study is designed to read off intrinsic motivations, both value-laden and pure enjoyment:

This framework also accounts for potential interaction
effects between intrinsic and extrinsic types of motivation.
For the intrinsic and extrinsic motivation subscales, 36 items
are included in our questionnaire. Each subscale (i.e., enjoyment
based intrinsic motivation, self-reinforcement, obligation-based
motivation, integrated regulation, identification, introjection-based
regulation, external regulation) consists of four to eight items...

The real question (which the authors are silent on and the journalist helpfully mischaracterizes) is whether these researchers' results generalize to non-R-ecosystem OSS development.
Please don't give them ideas.
The headline is misleading. This is a Reuters reporter reporting that some ministers are planning to discuss non-bank methods of money transfer at the upcoming emergency meeting. The report seems to get it's information from a "draft conclusion" document, but does not reference it.

The headline suggests the EU has already decided to clamp down on Bitcoin, but it is far from clear to me that it will even be discussed. All we know is that some unnamed officials want to talk about it (together with transfers of precious metals, etc).
27 days eh...? Temptation rising...
They are already planning it (I think, I heard it already from Sweden). But to ban cash will be much more difficult than Bitcoin, since so many people will shout up -- with Bitcoin, who cares, when a few hackers who are probably already involved in illegal activities (drug, sex, copyright violations, .... you name it) will be mad.

I think traffic shaping is very desirable when using a websocket for a separate command-channel. The last thing you want is an upload blocking all communications over that command-channel.

Furthermore, browsers can open only a maximum number of connections at the same time (I believe the maximum on some browsers is even just 2). What if the application already uses one connection for a websocket? Will there be only 1 connection left for the upload? And what if the browser needs to download other resources in the background, such as images, fonts, etc.?

Just some concerns, good luck with the project :)
I'm not sure about the other digital currencies, but if you tumble with bitcoins it becomes anonymous, right?

>It's impossible to track bitcoin laundering when people transfer in and out of other currencies, between bitcoin addresses.

>The process is called tumbling, and it's primarily how bitcoin tax evaders use it now to get around the "public" ledger.

I very briefly addressed this at the bottom of my comment.

In short order:

- Tumbling is traceable: throw a beefy server at the list of transactions, and since you know how much money arrived in someone's possession on a given date, you can now trace it backwards by crunching the numbers. Analysing long lists of transactions like this is something computers are really good at.

- But that doesn't matter, because tumbling sites can't work: they don't have enough capital in them to successfully launder more than a few play dollars at a time.

Those higher mortality rates start above what qualifies as "mildly obese," though. Even discounting factors such as existing illness and smoking, people with higher weights (weights below the "obese" definition) in general have longer lives.

Once you go beyond the "overweight" (or perhaps mildly obese, which has a negligible uptick in mortality) then the curve starts changing very rapidly.

>>The process is called tumbling, and it's primarily how bitcoin tax evaders use it now to get around the "public" ledger.

No, because they don't work, and even if they did successfully split up $1,000+ transactions, you can still analyse the public ledger to figure out where it all came from.

Edit: the proponents of such services also ignore the fact that anyone could be behind the tumbling services, governments included.
