Don't do offshore. It's just a premature optimization. It also does not actually save you money unless you're leaving it outside the country. If you want to spend it in France or Germany, you have to pay taxes on it anyway.

If you ever need a credit or want to sell to businesses, you'll also find out that people don't trust Limiteds. One reason is that traditionally people used them for a fresh start after going bankrupt and being barred from operating a domestic company. It also appears as if ltds attract more than their statistically fair share of douchebags, ruining it for everyone else.

Also, and I know people differ on this, but I kinda think paying taxes isn't the worst thing there is (and is probably a moral obligation). There are also possible downsides from avoiding taxes & social sec contributions, like not having the kind of certificate for your income your next landlord might want, the inability to join public health insurance and the risk of managing all your retirement funds yourself – a friend of mine lost the two million € he had saved in his limited when Royal Bank of Scotland(?) went under.
Huh. Similar story, about the same amount of money.

Accounting does balance to zero. That doesn't negate the fact that money has been created in the system.

Let me pose the question again. Your statement is since accounting balanced to 0, no money has been created. In that case, FOMC's account balance is also net zero when buying treasury or selling treasury. Therefore FOMC doesn't create or destroy money. So what is the purpose of FOMC again?

Edit: Instead of arguing with me, look up Money creation by the commercial banks in the wiki https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Money_creation

Maybe if I could actually see the content I would sign up, but since I have to sign up first, I guess I'll do what most others who are visiting your site for the first time are doing: Go away and never come back.

It's more that the specific type of forests that John Muir was so fond of were the result of intensive agroforestry by the tribes of California. They used fire as part of a fairly large toolbox, and you don't get that sort of forest without it.
I think the problem is that this person is not writing crypto-related code. (or they don't think they do) They write an interface to N underlying interfaces providing RNGs and don't necessarily understand how they work internally or the theory behind them. And that's kind of ok - they made it work correctly, but it could be better.

We don't expect person writing a Ruby binding for sqlite to know the theory behind database indexes and who are the acknowledged experts in that field. Yet we seem to expect that from a person writing binding for RNGs.
Nope. No exaggeration. I've known probably 30+ farmers in 4 or 5 states (and even worked for a few) and many have attitudes exactly as I state

It's not that they were bad people or unkind (although some are... bordering on abusive), but it's the attitude of inherited big landowner. It absolutely exists.

In retrospect I suppose "spoiled" (in the sense a gulf state prince might be) probably isn't the right term. Every farmer I've known has worked hard and paid attention to their task. But the attitude I speak of is pervasive. The landed nobility and the little people. At least in my experience. And I found it unpleasant.
Cool! For the client test I'm referring to, these would be long-lived clients that stay around and just TCP ping for an echo server, rather than HTTP calls that connect/disconnect.

In my experience, PyPy+twisted is around 5-25x faster CPython/twisted, and smoked asyncio as well. Would be great to see how uvloop compares there, and of course, someday when PyPy supports Python 3.5, there's no reason it couldn't use uvloop via cffi I'd hope.
Trump has 1,047 pledged delegates; he needs 1,237 to win on the first ballot without relying on unpledged delegates. That means he needs 190 more to remove even a chance of losing.

There are 520 delegates still up for grabs; that means he needs just over a third of them. Which...he's going to get.

Projections had him getting at least 133 delegates in California before his only serious rival dropped out, and he's got a lock on 51 delegates from NJ. Add in the proportional share he'll get from Washington and Oregon based on current totals, and...

...yeah. It's over. The reason Cruz dropped out is he can do the math. If he'd won Indiana, AND all the other contests still up for grabs, Trump could have been stopped short of 1,237. With Indiana in his pocket, he can't be.

I am a bit outdated on this (week without internet). Why does Craig Wright wants to be Satoshi? It seems obscure to me that a anonymous figure that does not want to be revealed at all cost suddenly goes public by saying "I am Satoshi, here's all the proof".

Why would he do that? What will he get from it?
Any updates?
Running out of power.
Yeah. I'm sorry about the terminology. I guess I just like the term "code generator".

When I use that term I envision simple filters that take ASCII input, maybe even some sort of "template", and transform it into some other format that's useful. Ideally, asm. But not always.

For example, in GCC, for x86, there's a couple of programs that operate on i386-opc.tbl and i386-reg.tbl. I would not call them "code generators" but I suspect they are needed in order for "gcc -s" to work.
It's not even remotely on the same scale. There are three massive utility-level flywheel deployments according to Wikipedia that provide 15 minutes of output.

It's not the government, it's the justice. We are a republic. And we have laws. Ignoring a court order is illegal here (and I think it's illegal on most civilized countries).

The problem is the company ignoring the orders. All they have to do is explain to the judge why they can't follow that order. And they refuse to do so.

Just because a prominent conservative supported the idea doesn't make it a conservative ideal. If you were to poll conservatives on the idea of basic income you will not find wide support for it, you'll hear it called welfare and income redistribution. What the conservative party is now bears little resemblance to what it was in the 60's and a negative income tax is not the same thing as a basic income anyway. You've confused support for an idea among intellectuals for support for the idea of the party. The conservative party in no way supports the notion of a basic income, it is opposed to their very core of what the party is today.

Lincoln for example was a republican, but by today's standards he's a liberal. Basic income is a liberal policy in today's world, not a conservative one by any means. It is very much a liberal policy.

Cheers for the explanation, but this isn't so much "DI", as "reflection for the sake of DI", right? I mean, libraries can have DI without being quite this magical.

I say this naively as a non-user, but in my case this specifically is what made me decide not to use Angular. I was trying it out for a new project and running through tutorials, but when I realized it was being that clever behind the scenes I decided that learning all its quirks would take longer than the rest of the project, and switched to something way simpler.
Ideally there would be good enough tests of the old system that if the new system passes the same tests, then there's high confidence that it will perform correctly in production too. That way we get the benefit of being able to refactor or reimplement entire subsystems while still having almost the same assurance as the old system.

The equation is the same one as for software: why did Google use the Linux kernel instead of developing their own kernel for Android? Because Linux is available and free to use; duplicating the effort of Linux would not have been worth it at all.

The RISC-V architecture is superior to all of the major commercial architectures out there. It's also free to use and has a significant amount of headroom for private extension. So what's stopping a company like Apple from using it for their next phone? They already have the necessary human resources to design an SoC. The main barrier is software recompilation. Well, the RISC-V target is specifically designed to be easy to recompile to: it's not in any way a radical departure from the common ideas out there.
The "policy.xml" mitigation mentioned in the link (absent MVG, which is required to use MSVG) does seem to fix the specific remote execution bug being discussed here, just because the https delegate can't be used.

But, it doesn't resolve the problem that the internal renderer can be used to read local files and include their contents in the rendered image through the xlink:href. It's not clear to me that there's any way to disable that. The ImageMagick forum post gives an additional policy entry to "prevent indirect reads" but it doesn't seem to have that effect (unless it also requires an updated ImageMagick).

Edit: It... maybe... looks like the "indirect reads" mitigation was very narrowly targeted at the CVE-2016-3717 PoC using "label:@" but that's far from the only way to do local reads once you've got ImageMagick parsing "URLs" inside your input file (hint: there's a txt: coder). I'm honestly not totally sure what that policy is intended to do...

Edit 2: Well, it appears that the "prevent indirect reads" policy does indeed require an updated ImageMagick: "Denying indirect reads with a path policy and a pattern of "@*" is supported in ImageMagick 6.9.3-10 and ImageMagick 7.0.1-1 for those that need to utilize the MVG and MSL coders." I haven't used that version but I still think, judging from what it looks like, that it won't really solve the problem.

I think that if given a chance, current AI would be terrifyingly effective at maximizing public support while minimizing accountability. It seems like the sort of big-data problem that's a perfect fit for modern machine learning methods.
Multiple issues here first and foremost the modern environment wherein people can fairly said to have earned what they get from society has never existed in history.

The closest thing would be say primitive hunter gatherer societies. Ever since we started having specialists that paid for their decreased production by providing greater fitness for society as a whole benefit from society has only been tangentially related to utility provided.

The creation of such a society wherein value is so related would be such a profound improvement over every society in existence wherein value seems to derive from leverage not value that it not ethical implications would surely be the primary topic of discussion.

In a bizarrely unfair real society arguing that you have the right to maximally leverage whatever value you your dad and your grandpa managed to drag away and coral seems greedy and disingenuous.

Devoting a minority of societies resources to ensure everyone has something so that they can find their own way to contribute seems to be the only sane solution to an otherwise broken system.

Secondly you mention drug companies and specifically their intellectual property in the same breath as speaking of protecting a man's ability to freely go about providing value to society but ip is a wholly artificial construct and designed to shape how value is distributed disproportionately not to empower creation of value but to empower others to extract rent from society something that seems antithetical to your own desires.

You are concerned with the government taxing and spending on handouts but not about enabling monopolies that have no basis in reality or the notion of property rights. If I have a right to my chemistry set surely if I make the right molecule my property doesn't become yours.

Basically Objectivism is a great way for those who have historically controlled the Lions share of a societies resources while providing minimal value to society in return to justify their greed.

As Dijkstra said, asking whether a machine can think is like asking whether a submarine can swim. And in the real world, nobody cares whether it's swimming or not, they just care whether it's solving their problem. Which all of these little bits and pieces of human-replacing technology most certainly are doing.

> the SQL server side of Microsoft is the polar opposite of the Satya OSS side of Microsoft developers. Lots of tedious designers and slow GUIs.

Someone needs to come in and send some people packing and tell the rest to get with the program. For how central MSSQL seems to be to MS strategy going forward, there sure are a lot of things that still just suck.
I think that using SELinux would be counterproductive. For this type of thing, the attacks that matter the most are web attacks (CSRF, etc) and attacks against the kernel.

For web attacks, the web UI has to be quite privileged unless you explicitly privilege-separate it, Sandstorm-style. That seems like a big project for a router.

For kernel attacks, SELinux just increases the attack surface. Throw a good seccomp filter at things, deny access to proc and sysfs to things that don't need them, and use hardening options.

The trouble with anything other than Linux or maybe FreeBSD is driver support. And, for a router, even if an attacker merely compromises the network stack instead of compromising the whole system, the attacker still mostly wins.

What would be interesting is a good verified boot or immutable storage model. For example, have the router boot into a mode in which it can't write to persistent storage unless a physical button is used at boot time. eMMC can do this, but I have no idea whether the NOR and NAND chips in most routers can.
"21 is free software that implements the Payment Required HTTP status code and much more besides. It makes it easy to (a) send and receive micropayments over HTTP and to (b) write new kinds of programs that use this basic technology as an intrinsic primitive, like machine-payable APIs and intelligent agents."
why personal crack-pot theory is that it was a set up by block stream to get Gavin's commit access revoked.
everyone's making theories because no one has a clue what's going on. Craig has gotten a lot of really respected people to vouch for him, but is neglecting the one thing that the real Satoshi would consider to be real proof.
So we're all just farting around making joke theories as far as I can tell. Maybe I'll right a sci fi book about it in thirty years, but by then it will be sci non fi I guess.
Seconded. Your build cannot be fast enough!
>proof that nobody can write secure C.

No, it just takes a good developer to write secure C.

See: Qmail [1], which in 20 years only four bugs have been found, and only one of those was a potential security bug. Or djbdns [2]; similar lack of security holes despite being faster and safer than Bind.

It's far easier to write code in C than it is to write good code in C. It's a downside of the security of open source projects that the contributors are those who care enough to volunteer who can contribute code, rather than restricting the team, or at least those who can approve code going into the core, to vetted experts.

I'm a good developer, but far from the best, and glancing through the OpenSSL code that I've seen, I would never have approved most of it in code review. There needs to be someone at least as good as I am reviewing every last line of code submitted to OpenSSL. Even better if it were someone much better than I.
