I just don't understand where the difficulty some people have in mind comes from so I'm trying to understand it better. You don't have to be bleeding edge to be secure against remote attacks, most of the configuration is trivial, I think more people would do it if it wasn't made out to be such a difficult thing for no real reason.

Maybe if someone made an integrated mail server it'd be more common.

My uncle, a Vancouver real estate agent, was talking about how the market had all but halted it's growth just a few months before this change was announced.

I'm not informed enough to know for sure, but I'd guess this is the provincial government trying to take credit for that slowdown after the fact.

> false equivalence of Bandera and Hitler

you're right. Bandera committed genocide of 100K Jews and Poles while Hitler - 10M+ of Jews and Slavic people, so speaking mathematically Bandera is equivalent to "small Hitler" and the Kiev regime celebrating Bandera and claiming its heritage are the "small fascists".

>Are you suggesting evidence should be presentable to the court so long as the judge/just know it was illegally gained and the officer fired?

I'm suggesting something like video evidence of a person committing a crime should be presentable to the court whether illegally obtained or not. It IS evidence of the crime after all, in the dictionary, common, sense.

Now, if the video was indeed obtained illegally, then that's another, unrelated to the case on trial, issue, and can be tried separately, have the officer fired or fined, etc.

The idea is very simple: we don't want the police illegally obtaining video (so we discourage that), but in case there is one and it proves a person's innocence or guilt, we might as well use it at the same time.

Sounds perfectly logical to me.

The idea that: we throw video evidence that a man is innocent and let him get the death penalty, or we throw video that a man killed 5 people and let him get off, because we want to discourage the police from getting video evidence illegally, sounds totally illogical.

There are other ways to discourage the police from doing so in the general case, without throwing away perfectly good evidence if it's available in a particular case.

Of course I'm not an American, and so I was not accustomed from a young age on what should and should not be held as evidence, and what is the supposed one and only way to go about such things.
Think about how many people get their TV via a wire today, instead of via antenna. A lot of people get satellite TV, which is a strong signal but pointed toward the ground. And even the terrestrial radio and TV stations still broadcasting are strictly power-limited to reduce geographic overlap.

Most long-distance communication travels over wires too--everyone uses fiber backhaul. Phones and computers use EM (cellular, WiFi, Bluetooth) but the range is very short, so the signal power is far too low to report us to the universe.

On top of that, most entertainment and communications signals today are digital, and many are encrypted. It's going to sound like noise to a receiver that doesn't know the encoding and/or have the encryption key.

The most powerful space-facing EM emissions we make today, as a species, is probably RADAR, not a form of communications.

>Who knows what evidence can be collected if the rulebook is thrown away.

The very idea is that the rulebook is NOT thrown away.

Illegally getting evidence is still punished.

It's just that said evidence remains evidence.

And what does "Who knows what evidence can be collected" mean? Is there a bad kind of evidence when it comes to the truth of a situation? Especially video evidence?

> Think about how many people get their TV via a wire today, instead of via antenna. A lot of people get satellite TV, which is a strong signal but pointed toward the ground.

Since I don't think its coming from manned satellites where the content is generated, I'm pretty sure there is a space-facing signal involved in satellite TV as well as a ground-facing signal.
It happens that companies buy from Apple but Apple's primary market is consumers. I think Apple really doesn't have interest in that kind of specialized enterprise products. Maybe a third party could work on it as they do on connectors.
I agree with most of what you wrote, but you're falling for the same tired hopechange if you think Trump isn't just the another skin on the same old corruption.

The entire job of candidates is to channel people's discontent into support by sounding revolutionary. Once they're in office, their job becomes supporting the status quo and implementing the long-term designs of the people, as you said, who control and pay for it all.

This iteration, the red team is frustrated and united (having been straight opposition for the past eight years), while the blue team is divided and unenthused (having seen eight years of disappointment under their own banner). So the red team sees a savior, some blue team defects to third parties or (rationally) stays home, and the cycle repeats.

At least my peers will go back to latent libertarianism.

> From a "blockchain enthusiast"'s perspective, this is exactly why Bitfinex and other centralized Bitcoin businesses are idiotic.

Speaking as a fellow "Bitcoin enthusiast" who's been involved in it for five years, exchanges are useful for selling Bitcoin. The key is to limit your exposure to hacks by leaving your money with them for as little time as possible. So my balances are always sitting at zero, right up until I want to sell some, at which point I deposit it, wait the six required confirmations (roughly an hour), immediately sell it, then immediately initiate a withdrawal. Even assuming a very pessimistic situation of the exchange I'm using suffering a full loss every year, that still puts my % loss from hacks at well under 1%. That's a risk worth taking considering how much more inconvenient all other ways of selling Bitcoin are.
On the other hand, many of those 'retired' or 'cloistered' emperors ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daij%C5%8D_Tenn%C5%8D https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloistered_rule ) resigned precisely so they could wield power and influence, without the endless restrictions of ceremony and precedent that preoccupied a reigning emperor. Those interested in Japanese poetry will immediately think of Retired Emperor Go-Toba (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emperor_Go-Toba) and his influence on arts & culture before his more ill-fated political adventurism (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J%C5%8Dky%C5%AB_War). The emperor-ship was not a particularly powerful position dating long before the shoguns, but the retired emperor was in a much better position to do things.

I doubt it. The modern Catholic church is fundamentally different from what it was even a century ago. Ever since Pope John XXIII started Vatican II in 1962 and it reached its conclusion in 1965, the church has completely reformed almost every area of its existence including political influence, missionary work, it's relationship with other religions and governments, and even its core liturgy. Ever since then, there has been a huge gulf between most Catholics and the conservative branch of the Church, the extremists who would normally go to war but now have little power.

Population growth is slowing down rapidly, there's even a chance that the global population will peak in the next century (and this is due to people living in industrialised countries having less than 2 children per woman, not due to any global calamity). We may have one more doubling of the global population, and then it's pretty much flat, even decreasing. Very, very far from exponential growth, that's for sure.

On the other hand, technological improvements aren't exactly stalling. In food alone there are huge benefits yet to be reaped from GMOs and hydroponics, just to mention two. It may not be exponential growth anymore, but there's little to suggest that it will just stop.

So no, the Malthusian limit may very well not be there at all.

You're right, they do try to hang their hat on anonymity, but when they do that, it's pretty much an outright lie. Centralized Bitcoin services are regulated and tied to other financial services. Coinbase knows exactly who I am. And while you can break the identity chain with tumblers etc., that requires going outside centralized Bitcoin services.

Bitcoin isn't trivially anonymous, and centralization almost universally comes with regulation that prevents it from being anonymous.

When I worked on a team like this, the rule was that when you came free and are looking for work, before you started any new stories you looked at the work in progress to see if you can help out to expedite any of it. The idea is that it's everyone's responsibility to try to minimize the work in progress (Lean).

We also had the general expectation that one story should generally take no more than about two weeks. Before starting a story, if you think going in that it will be too big, then you try to limit the scope or defer parts of it into new stories until you're confident it can be done in two weeks.

Once a week we tracked how long stories were in the "In progress" column, and once it'd been up there for three or four weeks, people started asking how they can help wrap it up. I think the longest I remember a story being in progress was about 6-7 weeks, and that was real uncomfortable for us. Typical times were 1-3 weeks.

So we had a weekly cadence for demos, and product owners liked that they would see steady, regular progress rather than being inundated with sudden large dumps at sprint boundaries.

You should certainly speak however you please. But there are three big reasons reason I often explicitly mention when something is my opinion. One, it signals to others that I am not one of those people who confuses my opinion with objective fact. Two, it creates conversational room for others to express differing opinions without the discomfort of interpersonal conflict. And three, it helps me remember that my map is not the territory, that my opinions really are just imperfect opinions.

When I see this claim, I usually take it to mean something like "handouts make people poorer in the long run because they inculcate learned helplessness and remove people's incentive to take control of their own financial destiny".

Which is also an odd assertion, considering that the more free money a person gets from their family in the form of adequate housing, nutritious food, tuition fees, etc., the more likely they are to become an entrepreneur or a highly-paid professional.
> The correct action in a case like this should be to use the evidence, and discipline the officer who violated regulations.

Illegally-obtained evidence applied in a criminal trial is always the government violating the fundamental law which governs its authority to use power against the people. Which is why it cannot be tolerated (and why it is not the exclusionary rule, but the increasingly broad exceptions to it, that are problematic.)

Its true that such excesses by government also involve violations of the law by individual agents of government, which ideally should be punished as well as the government being constrained from exceeding the Constitutional limitations on its powers, but such punishment -- which would require the government to pursue it, which is why it rarely happens -- is no substitute for restraint on government.
In agile, the estimates should be decided by consensus of the whole team. Requiring a single engineer to come up with an estimate is a smell.

Here is a quick 4 step planning meeting process based on planning poker:

1. Pick story from backlog, explain in a couple minutes what do you think would take to implement it.

2. Team members pick an estimate of the effort.

3. If there is consensus, note estimate on story, pick next, goto 1.

4. If there is no consensus on estimate, have highest and lowest explain why they picked their estimate, goto 2.

If you are expending more than 5 minutes on a story and there is no estimate, push it down and move on. It's not ready for development. The whole planning meeting should not take more than 1 hr.

This process, allows everybody involved in development to have an idea of the overall project and chip in with their experience to impact estimates (this might require refactoring class X, it might be hard to test, will conflict with Y and Z, etc)

We weren't discussing whether inadmissibility is an effective penalty or not though.

What we where discussing was if inadmissibility is good for serving justice (as opposed to serving as a guard against illegally obtaining evidence, and if so, whether we can abolish inadmissibility and use other, equally capable guards against illegally obtaining evidence).
> ...and it's simple to disconnect and reconnect yourself with 2 or 3 wires.

This "sort of" works for now, depending on where you live, what season, whether or not you keep junked tech, etc. But it strikes me, not only as dismissive and condescending, but also particularly short-sighted.

I can imagine, 20 or 30 years ago, someone saying something similar about a car: "a bug in your ECU is keeping your car from starting? That's your problem for having bought a car running off of a computer!" Fast-forward to today. It simply isn't possible to buy a car without an ECU.

The thing is, the changes that brought ECUs to cars are exactly the kinds of changes that are bringing computers into thermostats. In a surprisingly short amount of time, we're going to be living in a world where it simply isn't possible for most people to find a thermostat without a computer.

When people feel their agency and autonomy is being compromised with new technology, a common sentiment to echo in the tech world is "if you don't like it, don't use it". But the plain fact of the matter is that in many cases, IoT being an emergent but prototypical example, non-participation simply isn't an option.

Public companies "do some math", but that doesn't mean their math is always right. Acquisitions are bets, and bets don't always pay off.
> Businesses understand this really well and they are using this to their advantage, there's not much regulation around crypto-curruncies as of now, so these companies can operate in a legally gray area. It is the customers of these businesses who has no idea what is going on.

I specifically said, "businesses that don't understand this" to talk about the subset of businesses that don't understand decentraliztion. I didn't say that all businesses didn't understand decentralization.

There are many businesses that do understand decentralization, but centralized exchanges like Bitfinex definitely don't. If they did, they wouldn't be holding the money of thousands of users. Lack of regulation around cryptocurrencies is only one implication of decentralization, and for that matter, it's one that isn't permanent. Decentralization makes regulation hard to enforce for individuals, but large centralized businesses are going to have a hard time avoiding regulation in the long term.
