On the other hand, as hard as auditing software is, auditing humans is just about impossible. Any kind of "human safety valve" is just as much (if not more) a vector for corruption as it is a bodge to avoid having to audit for bugs.

If a trial depends on what judge you were (un)lucky enough to get then I'd consider that a far bigger flaw than the occasional misjudgement.

True, but not particularly useful. Trying to control pollution through purchasing decisions is a very crude tool and only works when the buyer has good information.

Taxing or prohibiting pollution is a much more direct way to influence the situation, and that's up to China.

actually "gambling", aka "speculation", is the crucial ingredient in the building of credibility of any tradable financial contract. It increases liquidity, and contrary to popular belief, it usually dampens volatility like a shock absorber. This is because non-speculative supply and demand tends to be much less normally distributed (herd behaviour) than speculative transaction direction, leading to large price spikes (see: bitcoin and Cyprus). I welcome with open arms the "gamblers" because they provide the "other side", in return for a skewed future price distribution towards profit, when such "one way" stampedes occur.

I had the chance to use Kivy to build a GUI for my Master's thesis. I was always on the irc channel and yes the community is small but I always got the help I needed from the creators as well. It's easy to use once you get the grasp of it. I used it as a proof of concept but was pretty happy with the result. That was 9 months ago so I'm not up to date with the latest release though.
Thanks for the review/feedback! You've identified two things that we've put a lot of work into at ShareLaTeX: Good real-time collaboration, and fast good PDF previews. Getting these right have been core to the whole product - when it works you don't really notice, but if it doesn't work perfectly, it's really frustrating. Collaboration and our scalable LaTeX rendering infrastructure are probably where most of the complexity and 'cleverness' in our code lies, so it's nice to know it's well received :)

> I know it may come as a surprise, but it's not about you. It's about harassment.

Well.. proof would be nice. i.e. proof that Milo instigated and/or coordinated a campaign of harassment against her.

The only evidence being offered is for Milo calling her names. Which is not evidence of harassment.

> You may think think that doxing and constant harassment both online and off is "political discourse," but it's not.

You're projecting. It's a tell.

You'll note that I didn't make any such claim. So why are you attacking me for a claim I didn't make? Could it be that you think anyone who disagrees with you must support doxxing and harassment?

It's easier to label people as "evil", than to think rationally about your own position. Or to treat someone else in a discussion as a human being who deserves respect.

> You can cry about your freedom all you want, but you're in someone else's sandbox.

Yeah, label me a crybaby. It's the 5 year-old attitude towards online discussion. You don't use facts, evidence, logic, or common decency. Just "You're a big poopy head".

Please go look at Twitters code of conduct. And then look at the high profile people they've banned. How many have violated the code of conduct?

As a hint: People that the censors don't like seem to get banned a lot... even when they don't engage in ban-worthy behavior.

The censors absolutely abuse their power to further their own political agenda. They ignore the rules that they created. And you support them.

It's not just that it's Twitters sandbox. It's that they don't follow the rules they created. It's entirely reasonable to point out their hypocrisy, and to call it censoring of political discourse.

Any reasonable person would agree. i.e. A person whose first argument is not to label someone else as a shitlord who supports doxxing and harassment.

I'd say it's really easy to create a form layout using the kv-language (which is yaml based and hooks into Python classes)

If you want to use somethimg else than the default theme however, you might need to do some extra work. As someone else commented, there is a material design theme, haven't used that myself though.
Possibly slightly, but it's outweighed by the benefits of having an open-source self-hosted option (both for our business model and the greater good of the world).

Our working hypothesis is that people fall into one of two categories (possibly both, but only one at a time):

a) Those who just want a simple to use LaTeX environment that just works for their task at hand.

b) Those who are more interested in the tech, and happy to install software locally, happy to explore things like git for collaboration and really refine their own personal workflows with the tools they like.

The paid plans are used by people in category (a) and would never be of much interest to those in category (b). But the self-hosted option is great for some people in category (b).

We also have a paid version of self-hosted ShareLaTeX, with direct support from us, and enterprise features like LDAP, admin controls for managing thousands of users, etc. The open-source version forms a natural part of this, (see GitLab, etc)

Just the three of us. Those decisions are rubber stamped in boards - I put forth plans for growth, the investor director negotiates and approves, and then I fail to deliver - I see this as my own failing, despite the reason being things like cofounder dismissing a newly hired hiring manager while I'm on holiday because "we don't need to hire".

That said if I sit in a board and point the finger, I'm the ass, not him - and it is after all me that has failed to deliver on my self-imposed initiatives, regardless of what I think the reason is. It can be argued that one can always try harder, but my will has been attrited by this over the years.

True. I just fear that all languages are approaching each other until we arrive at some mess that is optionally statically-typed, object-oriented, but with functional patterns.
I think you raise a good question; I further wonder whether the provability of outcomes is even sufficient to justify the kind of total procedural adherence which the ethereum folks (until recently!) advocated.

In normal contract law that doesn't have a blockchain in it there is a special moral "backstop" where a judge may find a contract to be unconscionable. An unconscionable contract may contain nothing forbidden by statute, but if it is found to be profoundly unjust in terms of its outcomes (not due to change in circumstance, but as a result of its formulation), then a judge can call the contract unconscionable and it is void.

This kind of latitude is really valuable, as it recognises the fact that things are pretty complicated and that in the end the law is there to ensure justice, not to mechanically interpret a set of rules.

So, even if you have a smart contract (or as I would call it "program") which can be proven to work a certain way, that may not be enough to guarantee that it is not going to give rise to bad outcomes. For example, say we have a proof showing that the program obeys some invariants, and one may even have such a proof generated automatically. This makes us feel confident - let us irreversibly bind our future actions to the output of the program! Blockchains be praised!

However, if the real invariant being aimed for is that the program's execution is "justice-preserving" (and I would say this is a good aim), then there is a grounding problem we have missed, where the prover needs to specify formally the nature of a just situation or action.

I believe a large number of person-years have already been spent on attempts to derive such an "ethics predicate", but if anyone has found it they have not yet bothered to demonstrate it. As a result if we wish to pursue justice, we end up falling back to the position taken by the ordinary law, and we might wonder quite why we decided to use 51% of all computing power for the rest of time to keep a ledger intact in the first place.

You never need to drop down into free form expressions to satisfy a query which should never be exposed over a service boundary, this is a very clear Services anti-pattern introducing unnecessary coupling. Find which requirements your Service needs to implement and expose them under the most intuitive self-descriptive label for end users, if you need Orders after a certain date you can expose `?createdAfter=...` or `createdBefore=...`, `?createdAt=...`, etc.

There's nothing in OData that cannot be done more simply and elegantly without it, if you wan't auto querying check out the approach used in: https://github.com/ServiceStack/ServiceStack/wiki/Auto-Query

It's cleaner, faster, more interoperable and it's implementation is fully substitutable, supporting multiple data sources over a user configurable Surface Area that as it's just the same as any other ServiceStack Service has access to all its existing features it enables for all Services including support for an end-to-end typed API over multiple data formats, that's able to take advantage of existing metadata services, and also includes an optional AutoQuery UI. Because it's just another Service there's also infinitely less incremental knowledge to learn whilst at the same time being able to take advantage of features of existing Services Users already know.

This is just one approach, most people never need the inherent complexity and ridgity in big heavy fx's like OData which used to have traction when MS had all its marketing momentum behind it but it's hey day is over and abandoned by its high profile early adopters, now it just lingers in maintenance-mode, mostly forgotten outside of MS and held on by the few that haven't moved on.

I'm in no way supporting to exploit these vulnerabilities, and kudos to the OP (and many others) for finding these bugs and reporting to their companies instead of exploiting. I just think that big tech companies should pay bigger bounties.

Incompatibility is a downside of changing the protocol, but that doesn't justify jumping to the conclusion that protocols with serious flaws should never be changed, even after millions of dollars have been stolen.

You're completely right when it comes to regular currencies, stocks, and so on - speculation is how prices stay accurate. If the price goes too far out of whack, speculators can make large amounts of money off of everyone else.

With cryptocurrencies, however, there isn't enough "legitimate activity" (i.e. people actually conducting business with Bitcoin) to allow a stable price to emerge. This makes them vulnerable to manipulation because there is no function for the form to follow. At least with regular currencies, speculation has to follow reality. With cryptocurrencies, reality follows speculation!

This leads to a negative feedback loop; people are reluctant to use cryptocurrencies for business because the price is unstable, and the price is unstable because not enough people are using them for business.

BT fault hits broadband users and banks
I believe that Ethereum+DAO was a sucessful experiment (with negative results) - they had a vision/hypothesis that smart contracts without human/legal overrides are a good idea, despite the experience of the whole financial and legal world over the last couple of millenia telling them that this vision is naively utopic. The whole point of Ethereum was implementing and testing this vision in practice, which they did.

In practice they found out (and showed the public) the kind of consequences everyone was expecting; and so we have a successful experiment giving some evidence on whether smart contracts w/o overrides are a good idea - apparently, it's not; and now based on this we can build better systems that properly account for the risks that DAO had.
