Probably because there are enough people who would still claim that he's not Satoshi. They'd just say he stole the signing key or something. There are already some saying that it was a colleague who he's taking the credit for, it's only a small leap for conspiracy nuts to jump to the theft idea.

Of course, it's vastly more likely that he is not Satoshi and he's just trying to save face.
On what devices is that really a good tradeoff? On mobile, sure (at least, on mobile devices like Apple's that don't have SD cards), but on a regular computer? I find it very hard to imagine that most people are more constrained by storage than bandwidth. Internet access just isn't that good. I can barely stream music over WiFi in many public places (coffee shops, airports, etc.).

If that's really the rationale, I think they're either optimizing for a use case that I find personally very atypical, or they didn't do their research.
Isn't his policy a lot more important than how he appears on tv? None of what you said sounds particularly important for a president (basically "seems like a dude I'd like").
I agree with you that phrases like "magnetic personality" are almost meaningless. The thing is, people struggle to describe charisma, because they don't see the elements of it.

Most of us can tell that a basketball player jumped higher than the other players. Hardly any of us can see all the steps (literally) that went right to create the perfect jump.

pg focuses on how Bill Clinton worked a crowd. But one-on-one was where he really shone.

Clinton, a tall, attractive, invariably smiling, and politically powerful white male, will already elicit a kind of unconscious deference.

But he used that power aura to focus completely on one person at a time, with the kind of intensity and mirroring that most people can't even achieve with their spouses. Posture, eye contact, adjusting his facial expression and vocal volume to match the speaker. Then, apart from body language, he had an incredible ability to remember details about people, to appear to value their opinion highly, and to articulate their thoughts and beliefs, maybe better than they could.

This was said of him many times: that he could make anyone feel like they were the most important person in the world.

>He made deep eye contact with you. Once President Clinton’s eyes locked onto yours, they didn’t leave until the interaction was complete. In all my years of talking to celebrities, from sports icons and Hollywood starlets to business moguls and politicians, few have used this technique with such finesse. Most of these ego-monsters can’t hold the connection more than a few seconds before they start scanning the room for someone more important to talk to than the person right in front of them. Yuck!

> [...]

> Sometimes I affectionately refer to President Clinton’s gift of connecting to those who don’t like him as “the carwash phenomenon.” Dignitaries and their families — specifically the ones who were skeptical and unfriendly toward him — would enter the White House through the East Wing gates, often with expressions of disdain. They would take a tour of all the public areas and then work their way over to the president’s office in the West Wing, to meet with him. A few hours later, when they exited the White House through the West Wing gates, they looked completely different. It was as if President Clinton, like a cosmic car wash, had magically washed away their scowls and replaced them with expressions of pure relaxation. Absolutely remarkable!

I don't think a lot of people understand the effects that regulation has on small businesses. It's all packaged in a nice little bubble-wrapped package of "this will help the world be a better place" and most people accept it because it's pretty and the intentions noble.

However, being on the other end of this stick, I've slowly been seeing the huge extent that the regulations make it near impossible to start a business. You're almost guaranteed to be breaking some law, regulation or municipal by-law, because you have a preconceived notion about how lightly regulated society is. The only reason we don't hear more about this is because it's selectively applied and the police can't police everything.

On my local scale, what I've noticed with the above is that it penalizes those that actually go out and research the regulations. I.e. they self-regulate. Meanwhile, the "bad" actors simply don't, and rely on the lack of enforcement, giving them an unfair advantage over everyone else.
Yeah, honestly I agree with you, I doubt any part of it is real.

I do feel uneasy about discounting a potential cry for help, though, however unlikely it may be.

Does this not enrage people? Elsevier and closed-access journals like them, are doing all they can to impede human progress while leaching off of tax-payer dollars to do so.

Uh, yeah, they have to cost-share the burden of upsetting the current infrastructure. Say you owned a piece of property adjacent to where all this new building is going on. Is it your responsibility to chip in? Is it your responsibility to shoulder the cost burden of what is effectively a zoning-related issue? I mean, god, when do you really own the property you're standing on? You didn't even ask for all this development, but now you've got to pay for expanding the infrastructure because a new developer wants to reap financial reward by developing up his land?

Yeah. It's not a property freedom issue, it's a cost ecosystem issue. As time goes on and life changes, owning property is going to have fluid costs, and tax assessments on people who come in to develop land is one way to defray those costs from disproportionately hitting people who have lived in an area for a long time. Frankly, those people would never really plan for that kind of thing to happen, so you're avoiding a lot of nasty repercussions by taxing the person upsetting the ecosystem, rather than the members of the ecosystem itself.
Someone should check on him out of an abundance of caution, but his note is laughably melodramatic.

Ask HN: How to Use Programming to Help Natural Disaster Victims?
I am a Canadian programmer who has been watching the developments of the Alberta wildfires [1]. So far 1600+ homes have burned to the ground and ~100k worth of people are being evacuated south because of the fire. I am a programmer who wants to help out in this situation somehow - could be communications between people, an app for organizing supplies. Am I more useful applying my skills, or just packing boxes with supplies and/or donating money? Does anyone here have experience using programming to help out in these situations?

Bearing in mind that the boss has access to expert colleagues whom can be asked for clarifications and explanations.

And how do you think you lost control of your data in the first place?

Free software would never have deleted your files without asking you. Or maybe once before it would be fixed as a critical defect in a matter of hours.
Yes, it would be more useful to compare capacity in range delivered. Filling up at a gas station takes ~ 5 minutes and adds 400 miles /640 kilometres of range. Filling up at a charging point takes x hours and delivers y range.

Stick in some real world average numbers, count pumping points (not gas stations) and charging points, and then adjust for peak demand (gas by day, electricity by night) and you have comparable numbers.
Private companies negotiate volume discounts all the time. What's wrong with the government doing the same?
You're not taking into account the fact that you can't easily replace the hard drive in a Mac laptop, nor the fact that Apple charges a huge markup on storage.

The perfect example of taking your own anecdotal experience and assuming that it must be true for everyone.

This was not at all my experience (even though I didn't work out in HS or party like in college), and I'm sure many people here did not have this experience either.

I wonder how kids who aren't interested in rote math (e.g. 10 quadratic equations 5 nights in a row) bother to learn anything with tools like Wolfram Alpha available for free. I spent so much time on Wolfram Alpha for parts of Calculus II, Chem I and Chem II while in college. Those classes gave mountains of homework, so after I understood how to do them, I just plugged the questions into W|A for a quick answer.

In high school, I would have never had the restraint to learn the material first. All of my homework would have been copy-paste jobs from W|A.

While I support open science and Sci-Hub is great, I also can see publisher's side.

Imagine the same site with pirated high quality scientific books. (There are some, but in darker corners of the Internet). Would open access to these books be advantageous for humanity? Most definitely. Will publishers get mad about it? Even more definitely. Should publisher's work be free? I think not.

However, you can't get both sides of the coin at once. Either authors are paying publishers to get their papers peer reviewed and published (they do now), or publishers may collect payments from readers and libraries. Not both ways.

Sec. 103(f) of the DMCA (17 U.S.C. § 1201 (f)) says that a person who is in legal possession of a program, is permitted to reverse-engineer and circumvent its protection if this is necessary in order to achieve "interoperability" - a term broadly covering other devices and programs being able to interact with it, make use of it, and to use and transfer data to and from it, in useful ways. A limited exemption exists that allows the knowledge thus gained to be shared and used for interoperability purposes.

Wat?

People who "simply do not want to be found" don't make any sorts of claims whatsoever. People who make fraudulent claims are scammers, plain and simple.

The fraudulent evidence that Wright has presented doesn't make it more likely that he's Satoshi, they make it much, much less likely. At this point, it's more reasonable to assume Donald Trump invented BitCoin than Wright.
Threatening as in a threat to his own campaign. Good point, insignificant would have been clearer.

Ya, tax credit of course. For us expats filing personally, it's the foreign tax credit. You can also deduct if you want, but I don't see how that would ever be useful.
It most certainly doesn't and the post is a load of FUD. It leaves the originals in place unless you chose to delete them.
It doesn't matter so much whether he's Satoshi or not - but it matters that he's tried to make the claim with evidence that's been dispelled.

It'd be a significant claim if Mark Zuckerberg claimed to be a lost son of the late Steve Jobs and people would expect him to prove it. It'd be scandalous if the DNA test came back negative and would clearly peak people's interest in Mark Zuckerberg's character.
Yeah, you can't pass a law that targets one individual / entity, it's unconstitutional. I believe these are called bills of attainder, but my history is a little fuzzy. They'd have to tax all businesses of a certain size, and if the companies that made up that list was around the size of 1 Apple, they'd probably have that tax bill struck down in court.
Corporations have spent decades conditioning their users to accept all ToSs and EULAs, using a combination of forbidding the software outright (often with no ability to get a refund) and applying scary language that they have limited the abuse of only as much as they thought would escape the public's notice. Now that their investment has been completed, they want their returns.

My solution to this (and to issues like this outside of software) is extreme but it will fix the problem. When one side creates a contract of any sort (ToS, EULA, phone contract, home buying contract) which primary purpose is to be signed by numerous other individuals who have little to no ability to alter the contract, the other parties are allowed to use lack of understanding to break the entire contract unless the creator can show beyond reasonable doubt (I would use clear and convincing, but that would be abused) that the signer did understand the entirety of the contract.

It would break contract law as we know it, but it would force simple, easy to understand contracts and it would penalize any robo signing practices. (Personal story: last time I went to a phone company, they gave the contract to read on a small device where I could only read 2 lines at a time and where part of the display was broken. I wasn't allowed a print out of the contract until after I signed. I walked away and have to this day not gotten a smartphone because of the downright evil practices of cell phone companies).
This issue isn't just with students or compensation. A lot of the quality issues have more to do with serious questions of reading comprehension and the over use of (poorly designed) survey methodologies. It ends up being a lot like the 'democracy' complaints...its not a great method but it is better than all the others for what it does. Not only are 'attention check questions' common, there is some interesting research on their effectiveness.

Eventually, I suspect/hope that NLP and neural networks will enable more authentic data collection across many spectrums.
Believe me, it happens in the US, by hook or by crook. I was a partner in a large residential development. There were countless ways that government gets what it wants from the developers.

For example, we had a commitment for a water line to the development from the water control district. Only later after buying the land, the politics had changed and we found that yes they would bring water to the project only not in our lifetime. We would have to pay for the water lines ourselves if we wanted them. Over the years as the development grew (hundreds of residential lots) we went to the city council to request a left turn lane for the entrance. They would let us pay to put one in, but only if we planted wildflowers along the city's highways.

There seems to be constant sleazy negotiation required for any development one does. The local governments have monopoly control over the process, and they force developers to pay up.

I don't remember their exact names, but Vista had some apps that were gone in Windows 7, like the Sidebar (a UX paradigm that Apple continues to make arguably better use of in OS X) and some collaboration thing plus others.

I admit that "after just one release" was a bitter exaggeration, but Silverlight, CardSpace, WPF, PhotoDraw and other tech has been unceremoniously dropped or forgotten by MS after a relatively short time.

Apple is guilty of discontinuing apps too, but at least their OS features and platforms are more resilient. For example the Dashboard is still available even though the Notification Center is supposed to supersede it.
