Each cryptocurrency has its own culture and philosophy, and each will handle problems in different ways.

Ethereum's hands-on approach allows them to innovate more aggressively. Bitcoin wouldn't touch this with a 10ft pole because the challenges behind such a scripting system were beyond anything they felt secure implementing. And now we are seeing why.

But Ethereum can use hardforks to keep things ~stable despite the road bumps. Some people are really glad this is happening, and those people should stay in the Ethereum ecosystem.

If that's not your style, and it's not mine, there are other coins (namely Bitcoin) that have more conservative cultures.
China is trying hard to spread out its urbanized population to more cities. Shanghai, Beijing and Hong Kong/Shenzhen/Guangzhou/Dongguan are just too crowded. But it's not a "back to the land" movement; it's about moving more people and industries to other cities, some of them newly built.

Of course, most people want to be in the big cities because that's where the money and good jobs are.
From everything I've seen, it's been a concerted effort to censor "personalities" who are also being rude and harassing other users and encouraging their followers to do the same. Though in this case the "encouraging", seems to happen offsite via Slack chat.

Nothing has really changed since the BBS/IRC days in this case, and it's not really noteworthy.

I don't think that's necessarily true, and it kinda seems like you're falling into the trap of believing your enemy to be a real-life cartoonish caricature.

North Korea is still a large nation, and while their resources are very limited, it's still a lot in absolute terms (as in, not compared to other nations).

Anyway, there is some evidence to the contrary of your assumptions: http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-32925503
The machines are controlled by humans, and will be, unless and until AI takes over the world. So how can you possibly have a system where humans can't decide things?

I would still view it as less corrupt than traditional finance, where a few powerful companies / people / government have disproportionate control.

The bus that runs outside my house (route 48, in the CD) comes every 10 minutes almost like clockwork for several hours of the day and drops to 15 minutes from end of peak (6pm) until 10pm and then 30 minutes after that until after 1am. That's a vast improvement prior to Seattle's Proposition 1 vote in 2014--wherein we voted to pay for a metric ton of service hours--and the restructure around University Link. I've noticed a marked improvement in other routes I use daily, like the 3/4 pair, route 11, and even the puny 65 up to Lake City.

Your point about bus bunching stands, though, if only as an example of how polarized the use of curb space is in this city. "BAT lanes" that aren't well enforced (though I have seen a lot more towing of parked cars out of them as of late) and a dearth of bus-only lanes in favor of preserving on-street parking are just two of my complaints. But service, at least in town, has gotten better in my experience. Hopefully the additional station openings in 2021-2023 will free up even more service hours to fill in gaps and extend the span of service (dare I dream for 24-hour bus[0] service?).

0 - Sound Transit has already said that 24-hour train service is very unlikely until the second train tunnel is online.
These are worthless resources to explain to someone who is white and below the poverty line why they are discriminated against. It's like posting stats about black people having a higher probability of committing crimes as a justification for racial profiling. Sad.

Is it really censorship if they're only "targeting" people who happen to be rude to other users? Or personalities who encourage their followers to do so enmass.

The only difference between Twitter and old school BBSes in this case is reach. You still need to break out the ban hammer sometimes or it turns into a cesspool.

There is a young girl in Seattle who made friends with the local crows by feeding them, they soon were bringing her regular gifts in exchange for her snacks - http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-31604026

I tried to do the same thing in my backyard for about three weeks until one day my wife caught me putting little pieces of bread on our porch railing. She asked what I was doing and I explained making friends with the crows (what else?!). She asked me to stop so I did.

My only hope is that they attack her now and not me, with some level of understanding that she was the one who ruined all the fun...

When we did user studies at Powerset, we did experiments where we put the Google name above search results from other engines and the Google was the strongest predictor.

One test actually used a randomized ranking function on wikipedia search (so the algorithm recalled as well as google, but randomly ranked the results without any thought to relevance) vs Google, and we labeled the random data as Google and the Google result as Yahoo!. Testing told us the garbage data with the G over it was better.

I dunno what you wanna do with that data. Maybe some soul searching? Funny story, though.

I live in a relatively mild climate and B+W development usually means measure the temperature of tap water once and go with it for the day. For C-41 it's also a bit harder to keep things at 39C which makers a larger gradient against room temperature than 20C, but in the end I suppose it's not too hard with a water bath.
I even remember reading that they were trained to pick up trash in exchange for food.
Well if there are enough complaints about the guy, maybe it really is harassment and not just the same "culture war" nonsense. When people are constantly pushing the bounds of civility, and encouraging their followers to do the same, you need to reign it in or it ruins the platform for everyone else. It's not like there's a shortage of places for them to take their circus to.
>China's cavalier attitude towards smog and environmental pollution is destroying the planet.

The entire planet? That seems a bit much.

I suspect every industrializing country goes through a heavy pollution stage.

"By the 1940’s, Pittsburgh was dark at all hours of the day.":

http://popularpittsburgh.com/darkhistory/

The Lake Erie area was so polluted by the 1960s the Cuyahoga River actually caught fire. The lake itself was pretty much devoid of life near land:

http://clevelandhistorical.org/items/show/58

Plus the killer fogs in London. And don't forget Lake Karachay, which the Russians used as a nuclear wasted dump.

"Starting in the 1960s, the lake began to dry out; its area dropped from 0.5 km2 in 1951[1] to 0.15 km2 by the end of 1993.[6] In 1968, following a drought in the region, the wind carried 185 PBq (5 MCi) of radioactive dust away from the dried area of the lake, irradiating half a million people.[3]"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_Karachay

Hungry people can't afford to worry too much about pollution, and even after the political will exists to clean up the air and water it still takes time to actually do it.

Some, like myself, argue that Puget Sound's taxes (and those in Seattle, specifically) are too low to both pay for the infrastructure we have and that which we need. Our property tax rate inside Seattle is in the bottom half of the country and our sales tax is relied upon too heavily and fluctuates too much to be used for funding things that need a long-term stable tax source. I'm perfectly willing to pay taxes on transit, schools, roads, water-and-wastewater, social services, and even a municipal fiber optic network. Voters usually agree with me since almost all of these levies have been put to a public vote and are approved in, generally, at least 2:1 margins.
It's more about moving people from the countryside, who have never lived in cities, into cities. It is not so much about moving people from some cities to other cities.

Incidentally, this is the largest and most successful anti-poverty program ever implemented. People whose families have lived in terrible generational poverty, in the same village for thousands of years, in some cases since before the invention of writing, are now able to buy iPhones.

I believe ravens and crows are very similar, this is a personal (long, and not the great) story about a raven I messed around with in Yosemite National Park:

When I was up on north dome (not to be confused with half dome) there was a group of raven's hanging out on the rocks watching us eat our late lunch. I had an apple core that I tossed to the side and watched as a raven warily tried to approach it. I walked over and grabbed the apple core before the raven could grab it so I could entertain myself teasing the raven for a bit before we started down the mountain. I started by putting my arm back ready to throw the apple and as I did that I noticed the raven kneel a bit as if getting ready to launch itself. I thought this was interesting as it showed it was anticipating me throwing the object based on my arm motion. As I relaxed my arm the bird also relaxed.

I tried grabbing a rock and again watched it brace itself to launch from the rock then tried switching the apple core and the rock behind my back and tossing the rock hoping the bird would dart after it thinking it was the core. The bird didn't do as I expected and instead just watched me carefully never motioning for the rocks.

I tore a piece of the apple from the core behind my back and tossed it just as I had with the rocks and before the piece of apple even left my hand the raven leaped from the rock in its direction.

This blew my mind. Not sure how the raven knew it was a chunk of apple and not a rock.

I messed around with that particular raven for a good 10-15 minutes tossing various things in its direction, testing its reactions and trying to mess with its little raven mind. All I managed to do however was be impressed at its level of experience in dealing with Yosemite tourists such as myself.

I'd be willing to take transit activists more seriously if rather than advocating for more money, they advocated for reforms to get costs under control. US costs are insanely out of control relative to, well, everywhere.

Construction costs are 2x-10x more than everywhere else in the world.

https://pedestrianobservations.wordpress.com/2013/06/03/comp...

https://pedestrianobservations.wordpress.com/2011/05/16/us-r...

Labor costs per ride are 3x more than Paris, 4x more than London.

http://www.wsj.com/article_email/mtas-costs-loom-large-14688...

Yet transit activists always ignore the fact that we could get 2-10x more transit for the same money. It almost makes you wonder if their real goal is just funneling more money to the people currently taking all the money, rather than actually getting transit.
The Australian lyrebird is perhaps the best bird mimic:

https://youtu.be/KOFy8QkNWWs
I think he sounds like a voice synthesizer because the owner probably "trained" the raven to say nevermore by letting a computer program repeat that word occasionally over long periods of time. Thus he learned to mimic the synthesizer sound, not a real human saying it. You can also hear the bird repeat some notification sounds a "waka waka" sound that sounds like Pacman.
About a zillion :-) Building one has been one of my "wouldn't it be neat to do ..." projects for a long time.

Can you say a bit more about the lenses? The Heathkit oscilloscope I built as a kid had electrostatic plates that were used to focus the beam rather than anything lens like.

Have you considered using bits of lead type as your test target, they have the advantage of being asymmetric and recognizable, could help with linearity measurements.

The SEM I used at Intel a couple of times had the electrons coming in at an angle and the detector at an angle. have you considered something like that to improve the signal pickup of your optical tube?

I agree with you and the parent, but let me play devil's advocate for a minute...

Javascript? Put that sh!t in feature freeze, like yesterday, because wasm.

Except... at least the reflection API's seem to "get it"—that you can't just keep adding features willy-nilly. I'll take a new metaprogramming feature that deprecates an equal number of old ones. And if you look at the MDN article the OP referred to, the reflection API is apparently intended to obsolete several existing built-ins. And as the OP also indicates, Proxy also lets programmers implement things that would otherwise be the VM's job.

But of course, unlike the auto industry, we can't actually realize obsolescence, so, like I said, I agree with you.

It's not the code of conduct document itself which seems harsh and moralistic, but the us-versus-them, tribal-feeling advocacy which accompanies it. The two code-of-conduct documents I have read were so inoffensive I couldn't tell what the point of instituting them was; but right here in this discussion there's a fairly hostile attitude toward people who are not on board with the idea, as though one must either embrace this novel code-of-conduct practice or be labelled a troglodyte. The more I have read today about the purpose of these codes of conduct, the more I like what the people promoting them are trying to do; but I'm still stuck with this feeling that they aren't my people, and don't consider me to be their people, and it's pretty much "do what we say or we think you're an asshole." Which... does not strike me as the most effective way of achieving change. Wouldn't it be more useful to bring people on board by engaging with us and explaining what's going on?

My wife and I picked up a seemingly injured young crow from our yard before the neighborhood cats (or buses) found it, and we took it to a local wounded bird shelter. The crow's family(?) crowed incessantly whenever we walked outside for a few months afterward. They would even start when we were several blocks away, coming home from farther out, and would follow us to our door. (The young crow apparently had a head injury, and we never heard back from the place on its recovery.)

> So most of the group would like to undo this 1 million dollar theft with a patch.

That's very sensible. Which is why all traditional banking systems have the concept of a "chargeback" when something goes wrong.

Ethereum still sells itself as "Build unstoppable applications: applications that run exactly as programmed without any possibility of downtime, censorship, fraud or third party interference."

The reason everyone is piling on Ethereum is because it said "we don't need politics to sort out disputes - the code is the truth". And that turned out to be untrue. There was just a huge political campaign to do a hard fork.

So if it's just yet another politically managed currency, why even bother to use it? Anything fancy it can do you can also do with a Python script, and then you can solve your disputes in a court or with chargebacks instead of starting a campaign to hard fork.

In my experience, Bing is substantially better than Google for certain use cases.

Google tends to be better for things I'm looking for very specifically, unless those things are likely to match DMCA takedown search terms (where there are DMCA notices at the bottom of results pages).

Bing tends to be better for things that are vaguely like what I'm searching for, and for specifics if they're likely to match DMCA takedown search terms.
The problem isn't for simple inconsequential queries like: '$filter=productName eq cupcakes' it's as soon as you expose an OData endpoint you're exposing the entire OData query surface area in which you have no idea what complex expressions consumers will decide to execute (unless you are the only consumer), so you're left supporting them all and coupling to the OData server implementation for life. If your API only exposed `?productName=cupcakes` you'd have no such implementation coupling.

Now you're saying you can combat this with recent versions of OData that have filter metadata which is a problem in of itself, additional features, additional metadata services, additional training, additional complexity, etc - making OData an endless rolling spec where eventually every OData client except those developed by Microsoft will fall off the upgrade cliff and no longer see ROI chasing an endless spec. OData's just another big, heavy, tooling-dependent, slow and over-architected, complicated framework - you can avoid it's manufactured problems and create cleaner, faster, more interoperable, more human-friendly and future proofed API's by simply avoiding it in the first place.

Okay, thanks for working with me on this.

I wasn't seeing that text because: Firefox prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page. If I "allow" that redirection, then it shows what's in your image. And it properly refines the results without needing help from JavaScript.

Firefox is probably doing that because under Preferences -> Advanced I have checked the box: Warn me when websites try to redirect or reload the page. I just tried a virgin Firefox installation and that box is not checked by default. I don't know if it was the default in older versions, or if I flipped it myself.

To be honest, it's _easier_ to do nice functional-programming in Javascript with ES6 in my opinion, just due to the cleaner syntax for destructuring assignment, lambdas, and block-scoped variables.

Kivy: Develop multi-touch enabled Python apps
Amazon did help build the South Lake Union Streetcar and in my mind it's been a huge success: "The majority of property owners along the alignment supported the project, despite being asked to pay increased taxes to fund its construction. Only 12 of 750 affected property owners formally objected to the proposed "Local Improvement District" tax."

Without having to tax anyone, some private organizations just pitched in to improve the service: "In May 2011, increasing ridership led the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, Group Health Cooperative, UW Medicine and Amazon.com to underwrite a third streetcar to operate during peak commuting evening hours (4pm – 6pm), reducing headways from 15 minutes to 10."
