That's a possible course of action, but in order to be practical and effective in restoring justice, it needs some technical abilities that Ethereum currently doesn't have and probably cannot have - namely, the ability within due process to (a) freeze the anonymous stolen funds during the trial and (b) after a (hypothetical) decision of court, seizing the funds against the will of the account's owner (e.g. trial in absentia).

Indeed. Vim is a lot more intuitive than Ed.
For the manufacturer, it really does make a difference to their bottom line. The "software tie ratio" of console games in the 360/PS3 era was modest - somewhere between 3 and 8 according to this graph [0]. Getting unit cost down matters a lot when you aren't selling a lot of additional content, and the hardware got optimized around whatever game developers could soak up the most.

As such it was conventional for game consoles to have fast-but-small RAM. The reasoning is that console games mostly bottleneck on the rendering of a scene at acceptable framerates, vs. simulating all aspects of a complex scene or achieving maximum detail as a movie would. Since ROM cartridges were fast and optical allowed data to be streamed in "fast enough", there were plenty of ways to achieve the right effect under tight RAM conditions. One exceptional case where tight RAM did not play out well is the N64's 4kB texture cache, which imposed a large burden on the entire art pipeline(if you wanted a high res texture, you had to resort to tricks like tiling it across additional geometry).

Today what is demanded from a console is much more in lock step with every other consumer device - they do more computer-like things, they can multi-task some and scenes are doing more memory-intensive things so they're more well-rounded, and get more RAM.

Perhaps more importantly, if the town square turns into a huge argument, and all the reasonable people go home, the town square doesn't have to explain what happened to its shareholders.

It degrades experience for non-experienced users i.e. people who aren't aware they would strongly prefer some options be turned off if asked in clear enough manner who reasonably didn't expect these changes as the change is a gross departure from established practices.

"Sparked by his lost love of insects, [Satoshi Tajiri] wanted to reawaken an awareness of nature in urbanized youth. Gameboy seemed the perfect medium. The communication aspect of Game Boy profoundly touched Mr. Tajiri and the fact that it had a communication cable lead him to realize that actual living organisms could move back and forth across the cable. At that time, the cable was only used for players to compete against one another, but he wanted to design a game that also involved interactive communication. He envisioned the competitive aspect of Pokemon as being ritualistic and respectful, like two Karate champions or sumo wrestlers."

I was one of those sending mean stuff to that actress. I didn't do it because Milo told me to. I don't even follow Milo, he's disgusting.

I did it because that actress was sperging out and I found it funny to add more fuel to the fire.

> 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.

It's also entirely dependent on judges being nice and reasonable people, who will judge according to common sense standards of "what is right" shared by a solid majority. This just isn't true. If anything, judges are likely to be less reasonable than random regular people, because

1. They have an education where argument is treated as a sport, and objective measures of bias or correctness play little part.

2. They belong to a class who firmly believe (and society backs them up on it and tries as hard as it can to make it reality) that their opinions are worth more than ordinary people's.

That was always my problem with libertarians, their eagerness look to the legal system to solve social problems (contracts, etc.). The judicial branch is the worst of all branches of government. Sensible people don't go there to get justice, it's where you go when you've given up getting justice any other way.

A judge is just as likely (if not more) to protect an unjust order as to overturn it when it's really called for. Ethereum provides a way to guarantee desirable outcomes without such arbitrariness (in the very literal sense). It failed to do so with the DAO, but at least there, bugs can be fixed. It's much harder to fix unjust judges.
"There is no data. WhatsApp just passes the encrypted communication from your phone to another phone and that's it. It doesn't hold it."

Cortana isn't a Windows help client, rather it is an intelligent assistant and search engine. To give you a very common example, you can ask Cortana about today's weather. So not sure how that is related to "things aren't quite obvious".
Probably a ridiculous claim, but I think ants have a ant death detection system too. After being invaded, putting dead ants on the path they used to reach the food drawers made them backtrack immediately and stop using that trail altogether.

Your comment suggests that you don't know what Cortana is, so I'm not sure how you're coming to the conclusion that "Too many questions would perhaps suggest that things aren't quite obvious."

Cortana is a digital assistant, like Apple's Siri. Common queries could be things like "when's my next appointment," "what time is it in Tokyo," or "when's the next showing of Interstellar?" It doesn't reflect on Windows itself possibly being hard to use.
>The concentration camp of Ahlem was built on a hillside overlooking Hannover. Barbed wire surrounded it. And as our jeep traveled down the street skeletons in striped suits lined the road. There was a tunnel in the side of the hill where the inmates worked 20 hours a day in semi-darkness.

>I stopped the jeep. Cloth seemed to fall from the bodies, the head was held up by a stick that once might have been a throat. Poles hang from the sides where arms should be, poles are the legs. “What’s your name?” And the man’s eyes cloud and he takes off his hat in anticipation of a blow. “Folek… Folek Sama.” “Don’t take off your hat, you are free now.”

>And as I say it, I look over the camp. I see the huts, I observe the empty faces, the dead eyes. You are free now. I, with my pressed uniform, I have lived in filth and squalor, I haven’t been beaten and kicked. What kind of freedom can I offer? I see my friend enter one of the huts and come out with tears in his eyes. “Don’t go in there. We had to kick them to tell the dead from the living.”

>That is humanity in the 20th century. People reach such a stupor of suffering that life and death, animation or immobility can’t be differentiated any more. And then, who is dead and who is alive, the man whose agonized face stares at me from the cot or Folek Sama, who stands with bowed head and emaciated body? Who was lucky, the man who draws circles in the sand and mumbles “I am free” or the bones that are interred in the hillside?

>Folek Sama, your foot has been crushed so that you can’t run away, your face is 40, your body is ageless, yet all your birth certificate reads is 16. And I stand there with my clean clothes and make a speech to you and your comrades.

>Folek Sama, humanity stands accused in you. I, Joe Smith, human dignity, everybody has failed you. You should be preserved in cement up here on the hillside for future generation[s] to look upon and take stock. Human dignity, objective values have stopped at this barbed wire. What differentiates you and your comrades from animals[?] Why do we in the 20th century countenance you?

>Yet, Folek, you are still human. You stand before me and tears run down your cheek. Hysterical sobbing follows. Go ahead and cry, Folek Sama, because your tears testify to your humanity, because they will be absorbed in this cursed soil, dedicating it.

>As long as conscience exists as a conception in this world you will personify it. Nothing done for you will ever restore you.

>You are eternal in this respect.

I would argue in this context "optimize running time" is different while "optimize latency" and "don't care about performance" are similar.

I mean - if you don't care about total running time it makes sense to remove special cases that don't change the worst case because of readibility/bugs, no matter if you care about latency.
I absolutely hate these confusing words. It is alongside of "surname" and "last name" -- why can't you just use "family name" and "given name".

While I understand an investor report needs to be precise the articles about it needs to use terms people understand. Like "this is how much money came in the doors" -- aka. income. I believe the word "revenue" is used for what a layperson would call "income" and "income" is also used but for something else.

And then good luck figuring out how much profit they made. I searched and this article alone http://phys.org/news/2016-07-microsoft-profit-year-big-loss.... puts it in easy-to-understand way right in the very first sentence:

> Microsoft said Tuesday it posted a profit of $3.1 billion in the just-ended quarter

Is that painful to write or what? Because noone else did.

Edit: for example, one could write "Microsoft have sold software and services for $22.6B and made a profit of $3.1B". That's easy. Also, I realize it's not perfect (because they also sold hardware and got money from IP deals) but it's not my task to come up with easy-to-understand phrasing and it only needs to be done once. It's just an example of how to use words that non-accountant people can understand.

Which is why there are layers of accountability and protections. A system of appeals. A free press.

Indeed, you call attention to the possibility of "occasional misjudgment" here, in this thread, where the context is about the complete and utter failure of the entire system due to defects in the system. You're standing next to a barn with not only the doors wide open but that is actively burning to the ground and you're trying to tell people that using the barn is safe, and only subject to occasional misjudgment.

Thats how I would expect it to happen to, but then I live in a tiny country in Scandinavia which would have no chance at all of defending itself if didn't have an alliance with the US. An alliance the US gets almost nothing out of.

The US is committed to defending Taiwan as if it was its native soil, despite it being basically on the other side of the planet and posing no significant strategic benefit. The US has such treaties with a ton of countries (http://www.state.gov/s/l/treaty/collectivedefense/).

Despite this the US "wins" the international relations game completely (if we go with the KvK definition that war is politics by other means and its aim is to enforce its will on somebody else).
For last 2 years, I am suffering from depression. I decided to isolate myself, which I knew was wrong. My parents were worried about my situation since I am living with them. I live in a village where this sort of behavior is condemned, and people are very hardworking(they are either farmers, fishermen, construction workers/helpers).
What I noticed was, whenever I go outside of my house a bunch of crows will gather around and caw at me, until I disappear from their site. But they wont follow me in the streets. Some times more than 30 crows will gather near the trees, and kinda shout at me. (I always felt like they were yelling at me, to get a life :) )

So I decided to give a try to get more disciplined. From past to months I wake up at 5 am for gym, and have a routine life. Now none of the crows notice me :).

My explanation: These crows can sense how people live and behave. And they found out I was very odd in the community. :) :)
