Facebook has at least one company in Brazil, and they are providing a service in Brazil that this judge ordered to interrupt.

It's perfectly reasonable to forbid access to Brazil for some service that does not follow a Brazilian law. This is bad because of the specific terms of this law, not because of some broad issue.
> and all of the pretty plants and oxygen in your biosphere will be dead from having been almost instantly frozen

This is a myth. If you remove the air from a spacecraft you don't instantly freeze, nor almost instantly freeze. Without air there is no means to conduct the heat away from your body, so you'll stay warm until you radiate your heat away.

The effects of sudden decompression are more an issue than freezing. The moisture in your mouth and eyes will start to boil off, the dissolved gasses in your body fluids will start to come out of solution. But if you can fix the decompression issue quickly enough most things will survive.

Probably got more clicks / views that any other story today, so good business move to print the story, even if it's totally false.

I can't understand Gavin's angle though. It's amazing that he agrees that Wright is Satoshi. I would like to know his motivations in this whole thing.

> There is a simple way for God to tell us He exists, and which religion is right. But He never does.

Many religions would argue that this is a false statement :-)

From the Christian view, the existence of God is self-evident in Creation. And when it comes down to it, I think it takes more faith to believe that life exists because of random chance than because of a creator.

But God does not fit into a scientific proof framework whereby you can prove or disprove the existence of God, which is why it boils down to having faith.

On the other hand, there is a way for Satoshi to prove his/her/their existence.
It's really hard to give much credit to an article talking about "Europeans" and "Americans" as if these were homogeneous groups.
This investigation is under seal. Soneca is speculating just as much as I am.

That is the law Watsapp broke the last two times it was interrupted (when the news was almost a verbatim copy of what it is now). I imagine it is the same it is breaking now.

This is the "too big to fail" that the GP described. Do you really want a world where a company can evade the law just by getting enough people to depend on it? An important idea of rule of law is that it applies equally to everyone, no matter how important they are. Once you make exceptions for powerful people or powerful companies, it can become corrupt and abused. No small local messaging app will have this protection that people demand should be given to Whatsapp. Why should the dominant player in a market be exempt from complying with laws that their competitors must follow?
> 2. I think that ALL of the other server-side language/framework combos (Ruby/Rails, Python/Django, C#/.NET, PHP/Symfony, etc.) make it significantly easier for a "merely-good" dev to make really good Web applications.

All of those frameworks are threaded/synchronous - they are maybe 10 times easier to use and potentially 100x slower (less concurrent) than Node. The ruby equivalent isn't rails, its eventmachine. Moving from django to twisted is probably just as hard as django to Node. 9/10s of the python ecosystem assume synchronous code so you end up with threads, processes, and callbacks.

Something you enjoy, which is probably an obvious statement. I would do something you feel confident in, that you feel energized to do.

I'm also going to offer a light-hearted suggestion.. Express yourself. Paint, draw, sing, play an instrument, dance, spin, move, write. Keep it private and to yourself if/until you feel like sharing it..
What's going to finally change this is when there's a particularly bad day, and security lines are likely to make enough people late, that a swarm effect happens and a mass of people just says "no more" and walks through. Just like the fences at outdoor concerts. It takes a few fearless/stupid people to break through, and progressively less fearless/stupid individuals to follow, having watched enough ahead of them follow. Once the video of this gets out, it'll happen again, and again, "like that time in that other airport!", and eventually, we'll end up with sane rules, or no one will fly because it'll become so prohibitively expensive to fund the theater (and then the airlines will get government bailouts)

I would love to see a tracer that works across processes and machines.

For example, a request hits the web server, the web server tickles an application server, the application server makes a number of database queries, and the results propagate back the way they came.

I'd love to see something that could follow this request through all of the layers and across all of the machines, without the luxury of having the source code for most of the components.

I don't see why this wouldn't be possible, but I certainly see why it wouldn't be EASY!

I don't think "privacy" is the right word to describe the lack of communication you're experiencing. I can respect a culture where people's default mode is not to socialize, especially as a more introverted American, but I don't see how your privacy in a public place can be anything other than zero.

True, but they wouldn't be able to alert authorities if they weren't actively looking for the items, which gets back to the original issue of speed of inspection.
They have every right to do something ridiculous like that, in the same sense Hitler had every right to kill the Jews. I.e. only in their minds.

Harmful lays laws should not be considered lawful just because somebody wrote them down.
I nearly lost a pocketknife when my suitcase was x-rayed at a Spanish train station.

Our small satchel bags and bodies did not get x-rayed, but the large suitcases did. I forgot I had a pocketknife in there (as it's fine usually for airport security as a check in bag). Somehow, when my suitcase got scanned, they mixed up the order and the person behind me got stopped for having a knife. By that time, I was making a quick getaway to the platform as I didn't want to lose the knife.

I could have just had a knife (and bomb?) in my satchel bag, so was pretty confused by the whole x-ray suitcases only situation.
My point in writing the comment was, in fact, to reduce the argument to one sentence. Don't get me started on who has the absolute stranglehold on political mischaracterization by simplification, when it's the left that screams "racism" every time someone tries to talk about illegal immigration and terrorism, neither of which is a race. That, too, is a "cartoonish" view of the argument. It is the cheapest form of political "debate" to be found today. So I guess oversimplification abounds on both sides.
I've been fascinated by this place since I first learned about it 10-15 years ago.

No. The principle of hormesis is that the body's defensive response to a physiological insult is so sufficiently excessive that it produces a net positive to health. This would occur in response to something ordinarily harmful (and thus stimulating such a response), but at a dose low enough that its harm is insufficient to create a net negative. It's important to note that this is actually a characteristic of a dose-response relationship: anything more than a very slight dose is expected to still be harmful.

Most examples of hormesis, well, aren't examples of hormesis. e.g., a quick glance at Google shows "exercise" being given as an example. Exercise, traditionally, is not something considered harmful at all but the tiniest doses.

The peanut thing is just about ensuring that common antigens are presented while the body is still undergoing the creation of peripheral tolerance to foreign antigens. That is, while the body is still young and learning what is and isn't worth upsetting the immune system over, you should go ahead and introduce it to lots of things you don't want it to freak out on.
That is one of the biggest issues I am working on. One person can make a mistake that messes up entire structures. You also don't want changes coming in every time you reload.

With a GPU, you're not saving noticeable time or battery life if you turn off animations, and it's been several years since anyone built a phone without a GPU.

In the case of an embedded system using and extremely low-cost CPU, you might consider turning off transition animations as a build option.
Yes. We'll probably move into space only after we are good into autonomously turning water, organics and some rocks into comfortable habitat. Not earlier.

That is probably not too far away. We are getting very good into semi-autonomous transformations, and at turning anything into the materials we want.

I wish languages in this space would make it easier to create statically linked executables. With Lua you can do it yourself using squishy and a small main.c program, but it would be nice of the compiler just did it all for you.

For small cli apps, being able to write them in a pleasant to use language like Wren would be a big win.
Good luck, I voted for you. I would love a simple system like this - fresh food in my background with low effort and cost. Lots of reduced waste from grocery store shopping (in terms of shipping to the store and associated spoilage). Also a great program for the surprisingly large amount of families in the US that struggle to get enough food.
How would that apply to the Bay Area Housing market?

If someone started building a whole bunch of housing in SOMA, do you believe that this ROI would disappear quickly, due to housing prices hitting rock bottom?

Do you really believe that would happen?

With all respect, how is that "very very close" to a personal attack? Sure, they're passionate, and frankly I disagree with other sides of what they've said in their comment, but it's not a personal attack in the slightest: it's a strongly worded indictment of the parent comment and the opinions expressed therein. There's nothing wrong with that, that's exactly how arguing works, at least in my opinion :)

That's exactly it. I have this one friend who always posts pro-Israel articles and another one who is black and reposts subtly racist (against whites) quotes. Even if I don't follow them, if I don't block them, their garbage will show up on my timeline sooner or later. And it's always the same things. Like, for 5 years they post this stuff. One could think their world is frozen in time. I never want to be that guy towards my friends, that's why I'd never post anything about politics, religion, etc. Facebook is not the right thing for it. Actually, for me personally, facebook is nothing but a platform to communicate with or find old classmates.
Hi chatmasta, Kevin from Utiliz here. How did your business do? Splitting savings is always a hard pricing model to sell. Our unique angle is that we don't just switch customers to the best plan once, we remain their agent, track the market daily and switch them whenever a new opportunity comes up. We do that in return for a low, transparent, annual fee from our customers instead of taking a hidden spread on the rate. In deregulated states one can almost always find short term 3-6 month rates lower than the incumbent's rate, often as much as 20-30% cheaper, so our service can pay for itself in as little as one month. Brokers who can bring large aggregated loads can negotiate better than retail rates, even with their supplier commission. Because we will be a zero-commission broker for the suppliers (we're paid by our own customers), as we scale we'll be able to negotiate even lower rates for our customers. Not sure how long ago you were looking at this space but many suppliers now have some mechanism to help with automation of bulk switching and for those that don't we are building the tech.

I've always been intrigued by the idea of aerostats on Venus. Certainly the idea seems sound (at least in theory), and the fact that an oxygen/nitrogen atmosphere mix would be a lifting gas on Venus greatly reduces the launch cost of bringing a dedicated lifting gas from Earth.

But gosh, imagine going to bed on such a habitat knowing that all that's keeping you from a hot and fiery end are your gas balloons and a couple of steel cables!

Their technology coverage has always been shockingly bad.
Stack, bounds, and code vs data checks like Burrough's can be encoded with almost no gates in a processor. They can run in parallel to main CPU's activity with CPU results only written if checks succeed. One aspect of SAFE architecture at crash-safe.org did that along with some others. So, no, it's pretty easy and not done since modern processors are optimized to run unsafe, C code. ;)

I actually tried this the other day with my new Bosch wall oven microwave. It appeared to block the signals enough to prevent my phone from receiving calls, which is what I would have expected from any microwave. I figured a microwave is probably the best Faraday cage that people have sitting right in their house.

I'm surprised that the phone in the video was able to receive a signal.

I wonder how much 2.4 GHz power is leaking from that thing.

A microwave with a bad shield has the potential to leak a ton of power at a frequency that's used by many devices.
Good times. I remember stumbling on K5 as an alternative to Slashdot, trying out a different moderation method, and building its own CMS (Scoop, as several people have mentioned).

I had the pleasure of meeting Rusty back in the day. Good guy. I hope Maine's treating him well.
To be honest, I am ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ about it, because it never takes me as long as everyone on the Internet says it does. I know there are people that get pretty screwed by the system, but for most people, it's not that bad.
The biggest scam that the diet industry ever pulled on the general public is the perception that "a diet" is a short term thing which you do until you're a healthy weight, and then you can eat whatever you want again.

The second biggest scam is the perception that most people can lose weight without either doing an absolute ton of exercise, or feeling hungry quite a lot of the time.
So why would be want people to think that he's Satoshi? He will probably end up owing money to the Australian government. Wouldn't they try to force him to sell Bitcoin? If he could, I mean.
That 4 hours is based on living near a major airport or flying into one and booking far enough in the future to get the best routes. If you live near one of the endpoint cities (say Austin TX out in the burbs), and you want to fly to another endpoint city (say SantaFe NM) and your choice of airline is poor (say united in this case) and you want to fly in two weeks. The flight/transfer time itself can be just as long as driving. It takes ~11 hours to drive that route, and the shortest listed flight on United for the date search I just ran is 8 hours 57 mins, up to 13 hours and 58 mins (out of the 4 united results returned on the first page). Add in security/etc and its likely even the 9 hour will take longer than the 11 hours driving.

> And what would be the point of claiming to be Satoshi and then turning around and feigning incompetence? Why make the claim in the first place?

The guy who invented Bitcoin clearly wants to be anonymous, but there is a paparazzi that wants to deanonymize him. If he were identified by them, admitting to be the guy they wanted to find in an obviously fradulent way would make them think he is not the guy. That is exactly what we saw here.

If he is the guy, he is willing to sacrifice his reputation to maintain his anonymity. Perhaps the idea that the guy who created Bitcoin remain anonymous is so important to him that maintaining that perception is worth more to him than his reputation. He would not be the first guy who did something good in security that wanted to remain anonymous. See TrueCrypt.

That said, I think this obsession with who invented Bitcoin needs to end. The guy clearly does not want to be found. People should respect that.

GSM (assuming that's what is used in Brazil) isn't free of patents, but at least everyone could (in theory) start their own telecom company and compete with the another ones.
