>America had nothing to do with the coup attempt

>a classified document will be leaked that some portion of the US government was involved

..so which is it?

Also, how is it relevant whether or not the general American can find Turkey on a map? It's not like diplomacy and foreign intervention is done by the general population.
What I meant was, out of a country of 300 million people, basically 0% had anything to do with it. Pretty much every company that has any business or trade that goes through Turkey had nothing to do with it. The number of people that want to be friendly vastly outnumber the others.

If there was American involvement, I'd bet that the people that knew about it only number in the dozens. It seems a shame that the actions of a few could affect so many lives this way.
> Quick, invent something socially amazing, that cannot be weaponized

I'm not sure something like this exists even in theory. Except maybe a benevolent, friendly, superhuman AI that doesn't listen to us. Other than that it seems that absolutely everything can be weaponized. It seems to be a fundamental property of technology as a force multiplier. We call "technology" the things that we create that help people exert their will on the physical world - and violence is, in general, exerting your will against another person.

The Top 5 Smart Hacks to Master Remote Communication as a Team
No long, I'd imagine. But again there is little to no way to figure out for sure whether the Chinese government has this information. The story really highlights the careless handling of data, because the chances of the Chinese government (or any other third part) getting access to these data is way too high.

And the EU and USA have been always supporters of any dictator that could help them till they think it's more interesting to throw away and usually it ends with everything in the area being worse for the people that live there.

Actually $150M worth of ether was invested in just the DAO, just a single contract running on the protocol. Probably more than that has been invested in the protocol at this point.

One thing to keep in mind is that much of this was not invested by buying in with fiat currency or even mining in the traditional sense. Apparently a significant amount of the ether invested in the DAO belonged to Ethereum developers and insiders. If I understand correctly some of this ether was essentially created out of thin air during their "pre-mine" process[1].

The $150M USD worth of ether in the DAO is out of almost $1 billion USD in market cap[2].

Karl Popper considered a government democratic if it could be replaced without violence, and while that's not exactly my definition, I think it's a good start - a bare minimum.

A provision in the constitution for military coups doesn't excuse it. That just means the Turkish constitution is a bad one, that doesn't offer its citizens democracy. Handing over control to the people "once the situation is stable again" is a joke - then the people the military disapprove of will have been purged, their parties outlawed and the public sufficiently intimidated from supporting them for a while.

Which is not to say Erdogan is any friend of democracy, obviously. I don't think his recent reliance on free media during the coup will provoke any change of heart in him. It's just that Turkey's democracy was always a bit of a sham.
The Dasht-i-Leili massacre
I don't agree.

When Turkey (unapologetically) shot down the Russian jet it put a serious strain on relations with the USA because they are a NATO member. It's like when the biggest kid on the playground has your back but you go around getting yourself in trouble constantly.

I think this is the latest in a successive displays of megolomania by Erdogan. The public perception of Turkey has shifted.
As long as they control the Dardanelles and the Bosphorus Strait their strategic position remains very valuable.
> People of Turkey seem to be supporters of this path.

A doubt all of them are. Just as with Brexit, popular opinion might be divided.
The motivation would be to remove Erdogan who is moving towards a "less democratic Turkey" and replacing him with a president that is more friendly to the US. Influencing the following election would probably happen as well.

A new president could help isolate Russia, provide more advantageous basing agreements for the military, and in general do what the US government wants.
Erdogan always had strong support from Turkish expatriates. I had always heard this explained as fundamentalists leaving Turkey because its secular laws were more restrictive (e.g. headscarfs are banned in universities[0] because of the strong separation of church and state) and Erdogan catering towards those fundamentalists.

I don't know what changed in Turkey but it now seems that his support has grown not only outside the country but also within and he seems to be hellbent on exploiting religion to gain political support. I don't know whether he actually holds fundamentalist views himself but he certainly knows how to use them to his advantage.

It will probably go done in history as the EU's worst mistake – far worse than Greece or Brexit – not to have provided Turkey with a realistic path to membership. Around 1995-2005, Turkey was growing economically, a civil society was taking root and the people had an optimistic outlook friendly to the west. Erdogan was a mildly-religious fan of the EU and keen on economic progress in his first years.

I'm not saying that Turkey was ready for membership back then, but it became pretty clear that it wasn't a lack of democracy or poverty that was the main hinderance of turkish membership: there were just too many EU countries (and you only need one) that Turkey just had an inacceptable ratio of churches to mosques.

Around election-time EU leaders would conveniently drop most pretenses and admit to this more or less in the open.

For Erdogan, who was achieving ever more success at home, every EU visit became a humiliation. Pretty soon, he turned his back on Europe.

It's common for programs to embed a database engine. Informally, you're doing this every time you write any structured data to a file.

I assume something that is rare for a person like that would be to be told the whole, ugly truth about things.

That kind of person would have unlimited talent willing to work with them, but finding someone who gives them accurate information would be invaluable.

That is not to say you become some kind of undercover snitch. Just that accurate information can be immensely valuable to someone like that.

For an example, watch how Marco Polo (Netflix original show) shares information about what is happening in the Mongol Kingdom with the Khan.

Instead of exaggerating, he tries to be specific and accurate. And the Khan makes him an adviser in the court despite his original standing, so he can continue to get his reports.

you clearly have absolutely no clue what you are talking about - a catastrophic dearth of experience in financial markets, nor any idea of the theory of speculation. I don't know where to start but this laughable statement is as good as any:

"If speculation influences prices then it's in the interest of speculators to create pricing mechanisms that are perpetually "out of whack" so they can profit from them"

How exactly will they influence said prices without trading? Which costs money? HOw would they move a price (cost money) then move it back (cost money) without constantly losing money? You need other people to take you out of your speculative position, and those other people must be (net-net) non-speculators, and sufficient in number (which was @omegaham's point). Separately, any market which is purposefully "perpetually out of whack" is not even a market, and will quickly tend to zero participants.

ARM's head office isn't in London, but Cambridge. Even so, foreign investors drive up the purchase prices, true, but not that much as when they drive up the prices, they drive down the profit potential as well as drive down (or reduce the growth of) rental prices which makes it costlier to leverage.

I do agree with you the entire Brexit situation makes it tempting to look elsewhere, though. Personally I do consulting, and I've started looking for US remote devops consulting gigs in preference to UK ones because it's suddenly a lot more attractive to get paid in dollars...

The U.S. stores nukes in Turkey as part of the NATO deterrence strategy. During the coup the Turkish authorities were quick to siege the military base supposedly hosting the nukes. From CNN:

Unregulated humans have lead to the extinction of hundreds (thousands?) of species. Largely by hunting, but also unintentionally by destroying habitats. It's also a safety hazard: when you feed wild animals, they learn to associate humans with food and are more willing to approach humans, which places humans in danger. Aside from animal welfare, garbage is just disgusting. If one person sees an apple core, perhaps they'll assume it's OK to leave their Doritos bag, and someone else a beer bottle, and now the area is spoiled for everyone. Not to mention health hazards for both humans and animals from rotting food.

> cryptocurrencies were leading to a better world

The problems of the mid 2000s credit bubble and subsequent near depression were down to too much laissez-faire and not enough / smart enough regulation. Crypto currencies won't fix that - they'd be worse. Their main strength seems to be for drug dealing and cryptolocker type extortion. Regulating the money supply / interest rates through an open source algorithm/AI rather than it being done by politicians might be a way forward.
I do a lot of programming in Python, and found Kivy to be easy to use and thought it was pretty cool when I tried it out a while ago.

However: Why would one want to use Kivy for desktop interfaces (as I see many comments mention), rather than native (e.g. Qt) or at least close to native UI-frameworks?

I think Kivy looks great for prototyping, experimental interfaces, and such, but I don't see why I would use it over something that lets me use native interface widgets.

That's the problem with blame culture. It needs to be someones (emphasis ONE) fault, and then anyone else can breathe a sigh of relief and move on.

It's blatantly irresponsible that SSI even has the infrastructure to burn CDs with this information on it (it needs to live in heavily secured, jealously guarded and scrupulously audited (ideally airgapped) computer system). If they absolutely need this capability, it's blatantly irresponsible to let such a CD out of the care of trusted employees -- and if they absolutely need to post it, they need to heavily encrypt it.

It's not meaningfully "the post service's fault".

This is probably one of the biggest understatements I've heard this week.
Revenue and income mean different things. Revenue specifically means sales (sorta) and income is generally after cost of goods sold and other operating expenses. These matter, though. A company can have high revenue and low profit, or vice versa. If you want to see their net income, you can look at their financial statements on SEDAR's website, or on Google or Yahoo finance.

One of my most memorable ones:

We we're developing an Android app that involved a custom camera implementation. In the camera we we're getting the actual frames (about 15 fps was all we could manage on most Gingerbread devices) and saving them out in a custom file format.

We we're dealing with lots of device specific camera issues (HTC had one device with 2 back facing cameras that gave us a lot of trouble), and one day our QA person comes up to us and says: "It's working fine on this device, except it crashes when I try to film out the window."

We we're already feeling stressed about all the issues and didn't believe her. We figured it was just some race condition that it was a correlation != causation thing. We asked her to show us, and sure enough time after time you would turn the camera to face the window and it would crash.

We showed our manager and the designers, because we couldn't believe how weird it was.

The cause and fix turned out to be simple enough. We kept the lights off in the office for the most part, and the camera frame rate was jumping way up when the scene was bright. When the camera turned to the window, the fps went above what we had achieved before, and our app was throwing an OutOfMemoryException, since we weren't dealing with the frames fast enough, and they were stacking up.

It drove home the importance of real world testing to us.
