There is always time for you to return to study anything, but rarely is there a chance for you to spend the kind of time and energy you can spend in college on it.
Look at discussions about Wright from earlier this week. He has an established reputation as a scam artist.
Except if you are behind a restrictive corporate firewall that filters anything not in RFC 2616.
Naively it looks like your conflict resolution is prone to livelock, where concurrent transactions for a key keep aborting each other without getting any work done. The same can happen if you run a single node RDBMS in serializable isolation mode and read a row before writing to it. In that case you can add locking reads on rows you intend to later write to, which avoids the livelock.

Have you done any studies to quantify how bad that effect is in cockroachdb? Assuming the effect exists and I didn't just miss something silly, are there any workarounds since cockroachdb is only OCC? (Exponential backoff between retries and keeping transactions short don't count, I assume those are a given)
Why not handle the the thing that seems to be pretty pressing right now instead? Reputation can wait until someone can confirm one thing or another. It's just kind of calloused otherwise and I'm sure someone whose reputation on the line would agree.

This is exactly why I've held onto all my CDs, and why I continue to buy the majority of my music in a physical format. I once had Apple ... iTunes match? iCloud? I can't even remember what it was called ... decide that an Eminem album I had was too racy and serve me a censored, unlistenable version instead. And the complexity involved in keeping any kind of sizeable music library in check using iTunes is overwhelming. I have two apple ids, some music on an external hard drive, some on an internal hard drive, some subset/superset/overlapping set of which is 'somewhere' in the cloud; it's a nightmare. Is there a sensible alternative to iTunes that will a) not do anything with 'the cloud' b) sync to my iPod?
So Bitcoin could conceivably be 'burned' faster than new bitcoin can be made. That might be great for a collector's market, but sounds like a bad plan for a useful currency.
The Goodbye at the end is worrying, but he simply needs to do one small action to prove his case and put an end to it all.

It would take less than 5 minutes, which leaves the question, why drag it on like this?
Big deal. I can use it seamlessly with Meteor.
I'm not sure what I'd prefer, but borders are an artifact of lag-induced information asymmetry that has drastically lessened with modern means of communication and travel and their existence is a pre-requisite for a lot of the fucked up power dynamics on our planet so I imagine a number of potential systems without them could be an improvement.

No one is discrediting him because he isn't good at coding or "just an average geek"

People are skeptical because this isn't the first time he claimed to be Satoshi [1], and that time he did it by back-dating posts. This time he did it with a demonstrably fake signing of Sartre text.

Why would the real Satoshi go to great lengths to create fake evidence?
I'm still waiting for the "highly paid" part.
The ideal would be an on-screen overlay (HUD, MS Hololens) which has voice control, "Insert IV, checklist", it pops up, "Completed: Swab", "Completed: Step2".

Have the system then sync that to a central system so you have a real time status of every procedure/drug/intervention administered to a patient, voice control means no issues with hand contamination, paperwork to carry around (and forget) etc.

I think we'll probably get to that at some point especially if sub-vocal voice recognition catches on.
Can you recommend a good daily routine of banishing? My cubicle seems to be accumulating low-level negative entities.

MirageOS: unikernel protocol hacking in Marrakech
At first I thought the tone of the article was a bit hyperbolic, but upon reading further, no, this totally fits with the emotions that I'd probably feel upon such a situation. Shock, then horror, then anger. Then solution minded...then when hitting a wall...

>When giving the above warning, however, even in my most Orwellian paranoia I never could have dreamed that the content holders, like Apple, would also reach into your computer and take away what you already owned.

It just feels dirty, and, as my Software Developer Uncle probably would've called it, "Playing outside the sandbox." I mean, sure, as the article notes, the TOS gives Apple a lot of consent, but "Loss or Damage" via incidental use vs. outright deletion via intentional coding feels...different. Maybe legally they're not...

I do remember ranting at the top of my lungs after an online jam software installed an update and crashed my Win7 PC laptop so hard it had to rebuild via a command prompt screen. By then, I already had CD backups, a USB HD 500GB full of projects, and it was a cold reminder. The laptop restored fine, but whoa, not fun. Not what I signed up for in the agreement, risk-wise, I felt, so I've essentially stopped using that software.

...and I'll close by reminding myself I'm perfectly reasonable with my Win laptop setup, not running iTunes (Winamp), and backing up to a local cloud or other media (another USB HD coming soon). Life happens, accidents happen...but there's some funky software out there.

Heck of a story, and one I will point to gladly when discussing paths for audio DAW hardware/software platforms.

> You can deduct foreign taxes paid

Do you mean deduct, or you get a tax credit? If you mean deduct, then you pay UK taxes on $1B and then US taxes on the $800M (or whatever) that is left over.
Don't mention Apple explicitly in a law.

IE: Lets increase all corporate taxes by 3% in this city, to pay for a new road project. Here's the proposed road, etc. etc.

I mean, yeah, its hard to get approval from your citizens to build new roads. My area (on the East Coast) had to appease a ton of environmentalist types who refused to build a highway over any wetlands or swamps (ie: cheap areas), and the NIMBY guys who were being threatened with eviction.

But you propose a road (meet with engineers / architects, get some fancy drawings, write it up, build a website, etc.), you describe the costs (not just monetary, but also the houses you have to bulldoze, the "quiet" you have to disturb, meet with HOA communities to help gather support despite the costs), you raise a tax to pay for it, borrow some money with a bond and then it gets done. Its not easy, but its the freaking job of a Mayor.

---------

Why would the Mayor EVER have to explicitly reference Apple through this process? Only a complete dunce would do that, as it reeks of favoritism.

I'm reading through this entire piece, and its completely devoid of substance. The complaints are hilariously awful. I'm not sure if the Mayor is actually incompetent, or if the guardian is just awful at writing and completely focused on the wrong issues.

I mean, cripes. I've NEVER heard of a necessary road project being scuttled because of money. Its almost always the NIMBY people (to be fair, getting evicted from your family home for 50 years gotta suck because a road is being built through your plot), or environmentalists (Protect the swamp! protect the forest! Protect the grasslands!) who seem to get in the way. And NIMBY vs Environmentalists is a hell of an issue to work out.
This is such a crappy hit job on Apple. The mayor green lighted a bunch of projects in Cupertino and the people hated it. The congestion is not happening because of Apple but because of the new home developments that are approved. He wants to protect himself by getting free money from Apple to make his people happy with some infrastructure construction. Apple is not obligated to give the guy free money.
Odd note - his page just turned from a jpeg to use actual text. So, uh. yay, I suppose.
> Sign it or it's worthless.

Good point. But on a second thought - signing it might have been in violation of whatever secrecy requirement, possibly a crime, under this theory we will never ever see anything signed from Satoshi.
My flea repellant is working very well then...

"You get scary popups that ask you a question and provides two options -- neither of which is what you want."

This! One is something like "delete all the music from my iPod" and the other is "delete all the music from my hard drive". How on earth has this situation been allowed to develop?

I recommend Android for anyone in a position to change.

I plug my Android phone into my Linux laptop. The phone's filesystem is mounted. I move, copy, delete whatever music and photos I want. Dead simple and rational.

I put Flickr on the phone. Photos I take with the phone are automatically backed up to Flickr, and I can see them from anywhere.
The Special Relationship Between Noodles and Qdoba
No, it's destroying the idea of forgetfulness and it's been doing it since books. Forgiveness takes an active effort, whereas forgetfulness is passive. The former is probably a virtue and the latter probably a vice (if you can help it).

Let's forgive but not forget, we need those lessons.
Because mental health issues can cause rationalizations to stack one on top of the other. It sucks, but it would explain it.

(I'm not actually claiming that's what's actually going on, for what it's worth. Just that the behavior has a familiar feel.)
I had not cared that much about this, but his actions are exactly what I would have expected from bitcoin's creator. There are some guys who simply do not want to be found. The guy who created Bitcoin is one of them. Making things develop like this simultaneously repairs much of the damage to his anonymity while minimizing the damage to the two guys who put their reputations on the line for him. By acting the way that you are acting, you are acting exactly like he intended for you to act. There is simply insufficient public evidence to say whether he is or is not. He is in that pesky excluded middle that gives rise to pseudo-Boolean logic.

That being said, people should realize that the creator of Bitcoin does not want to be found and honor that.
> it's a suicide note

.. or an attempt to bolster the flames of a dying media spectacle that keeps your name up at the top of the news feeds.

I hope I'm right, I hate the idea of a guy being driven to suicide; even more than I hate the idea of him social engineering media outlets en masse to self-promote.
When I used iTunes Match they wouldn't delete your files unless you specifically asked for it... which seems to me like a more sensible default behavior, but I guess Apple is getting pretty aggressive about trying to change user expectations.

e: Although one very rich thing is when I wanted to cancel it was impossible to do without installing iTunes on my new computer until I contacted support to complain.
Also the old guy was going to have to prove a negative. Can't be done.
I have not used aiohttp, but it looks like their application must be initialized with a list of middleware_factories. I do not see any logic in choosing middleware - just a straight shot.

Growler apps just add functions to an internal list, and these may be 'mounted' on particular end points/http requests.

Also, in aiohttp it is up to your endpoint to create the response object and return it. While in Growler it is created by the application (or rather the GrowlerHttpResponder) and passed around the middleware - getting enhancements (res.render('foo') is not standard) and having callbacks registered (to, say, log ALL headers sent - something you want done only at the time of sending headers).

I think it would be possible (or at least I would like to get to the point) where you could actually mount other apps from other frameworks into a Growler app. So if there is blog software you like written in aiohttp, there is special middleware to transform growler requests into a aiohttp requests.

import growler
import aiohttp.web
aio_blog_app = aiohttp.web.Application()
...
app = growler.App("main site")
app.use(GrowlerAiohttpMiddleware(aio_blog_app), path='/blog')
...

THAT would be kinda cool.

He said he had a back up and restored his music. As a user I would not expect Apple Music to wipe my existing music collection.
Is there a way to share DNS64/NAT64 when the internet is on the mac's wifi, if you use usb or bluetooth to connect the iphone?
At face value, I would agree. But given that he's clearly lying about being Satoshi, and therefore also lying in this note, I figure it's likely that the "suicidal" tone was deliberately chosen. It's just another attempt to stir up controversy.
When the time machine comes out, i'll use it to hang him so that humans could live happily :D

They have postponed a little bit the deadline, I think it was originally set for September 2015. I saw they added some features in getaddrinfo() in iOS 9.2 and OS X 10.11.something, so they were probably postponing to make sure developers had all the right tools for the different situations.
"I don't like him so we didn't pick him"
Disgusting. Especially deleting music for which there was no exact match or original pieces.

Seeing all the Apple apologists here proves (to me) that Apple still employs an army of paid astro-turfers. (They did when I worked for them back in 2003.)
If you treat the "proof" falling apart under scrutiny as evidence that he is Satoshi, then to remain consistent you must treat a strong proof which holds up under scrutiny as evidence against him being Satoshi.

http://lesswrong.com/lw/ii/conservation_of_expected_evidence
> is that the real Satoshi has not put out a statement calling this guy out as a fraud

And what about the inverse? If he is Satoshi, why didn't he just put out a signed statement saying he is Craig? Satoshi seemed perfectly capable of producing valid signatures (and he could do it without a 25-page blog post).

Stop giving him the benefit of the doubt. He couldn't produce a valid signature. He couldn't move old coins. He couldn't explain the blockchain with anything more than an amateur understanding of it (his article describing mining had at least 2 major factual errors I could pick out in the first 2 paragraphs). When he realized he couldn't keep the charade up, he gave up. It's really that simple.
Honestly, I'm shocked anyone is taking it seriously. Every shred of evidence (from the past few days, and from last year) suggests he's a con artist.

I certainly believe in giving people the benefit of the doubt, but it's laughable to think this guy is actually Satoshi, and therefore impossible to see this note as sincere.
As well as that notorious bias, they have an axe to grind with Silicon Valley in general. Still it plays to their masses, just have a look at the comments.
I read the Goodbye as someone backed into a corner who can't prove it.

Fwiw, high school language classes are very easy and slowly paced, to the point where I aced the standard curriculum purely by showing up to class and doing no out-of-class work, nor any memorization at all.

So either the curriculum should be made more challenging, or homework should be optional for everyone, like it was for me.

And something I regret more, but still wouldn't have done differently if given the opportunity to do it again, is I never read any of the books for my English classes. I would come to class and integrate what the teachers and other students said and come up with answers to questions that sounded insightful (and probably were, I guess) and learn enough just from class discussions to do well on tests.

Both my English and German classes were considered "honors" level classes in a highly ranked school district. I avoided AP-prep classes outside of math and science because the English and language AP classes involved significicantly more homework, to the point where I couldn't get away with not doing it and pass the class, even if I could pass the test anyway.

If the school can't offer classes that actually require students to do regular homework, then they shouldn't demand that students do regular homework.

Not an Apple user, but I never sync streaming services to my personal collections for fear of cross-contamination. I always set up a dedicated folder for the streaming service, and if necessary, copy my collection to that. Plus nightly full backups to a separate internal drive and Carbonite.
I have to run an old version of iTunes to have my 4th gen iPod even sync properly. :\
At least the carbon footprint of burning bitcoin is smaller than the carbon footprint of creating it.
Resources for Machine Learning in Ruby
I keep my RAW images on OneDrive for backup and use Google Photos with the free version / high quality version. I find Google Photos's client really good as a gallery on Android, (OneDrive is really slow). So when I show people my photos I use Google Photos but the originals are on OneDrive.
This post reminds me of a tactic abusive people use to prevent their victims from leaving them. When confronted with their bad behavior, they apologize profusely and pretend to feel remorse for their actions to the point that people worry about them. Once people feel adequately sorry for them and are distracted from their bad behavior, they go right back to doing what they were doing.

But the giveaway that shows it's all fake is that they never really get to the root of the bad behavior and do anything to fix it. In this case, Wright still hasn't admitted that he isn't Satoshi and doesn't have the key to the genesis block.

I've seen this behavior far too many times from my ex--I'm not going to give in to it here. Sure, someone should go check that he's not going to kill himself. But that should not for a second distract from the fact that he's a liar and a fraud, and this is likely just his latest ploy.

So you expected the real Satoshi to keep his anonymity by announcing his identity to the world and then backing up the announcement with "proof" that is clearly false?
Nobody on Earth reads the entire manual before starting up some software; it's the vendor's responsibility to not have insensible defaults like "delete my local versions of files without asking me"
I don't like this idea. Corporations should pay taxes and whatever, and not be treated specially just because they're the largest entity in the town.

A huge number of towns in America are basically run by one or two corporations. Cupertino is not unique in the slightest, aside from the fact that Apple is just a larger company.

But it really doesn't matter if you "only" have a $1 Billion market cap company headquartered in your small 30,000 town, or a $600 Billion behemoth like Apple. Its all basically the same: all your taxes are basically going to come from only one source.

------------

In either cases, you can run the town independently of the corporation. True: a lot of the corporation's workers will be your citizens, but keep the issues separate and keep things fair... and you ought to get what you need done.
I totally disagree. There were smartwatches before Apple's, therefore the category already existed. It may not have been a high profile category in some people's eyes, but that doesn't mean it wasn't there.

Also, I disagree on the bajillion number, for reasons other than the obvious. There were quite a few viable smartwatches on the market and many in the pipeline before Apple's. Plus, the watches not counting after the rumor of an Apple watch is a silly claim as well. There are numerous rumors of Apple working on a new product; for instance, that logic dictates Apple created the smart TV category.

Why isn't it good enough that Apple entered the market with a nice product? Why do people have to give more credit than what is due?

Proposal that will make you cry
Some of the people coming to Cupertino to work for Apple will buy houses in Cupertino, send their kids to school in Cupertino, spend the money they make in Cupertino, etc... Not to mention all of the extra jobs that need to be filled taking care of the buildings and the spoiled engineers, the hotel rooms for visiting emissaries and WWDC attendees, the construction jobs building those new houses and schools...

Edit: I don't want to sound like I'm saying "the town should be grateful for these scraps and nothing more", these are benefits to the town on top of the taxes that it pays.
Another point of data in favor of "they deleted my music" here. And when they did it, they were only matching on the file metadata, so the album they removed was truly lost, since I got some weird techno album in its place.

Thankfully, it's one I can recover from a CD, when I find it again.
This is the way of real life. We breathe, eat, excrete all without understanding or knowing. We poke at our bodies with junk food, exercise, video games, and other stimuli. Sometimes we achieve the desired effect, most times not. We still do not really know how we work. Poking at complexity is ALWAYS how science was done.

And the high priests of computer science strove to build a corpus that was intimidating, complex and beautiful. They tried to be gods and birth a new form of life. That computer scientists applied Socratic and Aristotelian principles to their framework is hubris. Human individuals really cannot be gods to machines that are useful. We have constructed masses of spaghetti code into libraries that no one has the time to read or understand and it is our own fault. These are tools and should have been kept simple and open and easy. Perhaps AI will evolve to save its parents.

I have a dream of the day when I can talk to Alexa, and write code for her in English just by speaking. Her built in projector would show me what I said. My words would be translated into correct Python, c++, or JavaScript. She would highlight errors that would lead to build failures. Point out race conditions. And tell jokes along the way.
