> Nintendo has steered clear of mobile gaming because they expected all of their IP to flop in the mobile world.

I don't believe this for a second. Nintendo knows where its goldmines are. IMHO it is far more likely that they steered clear of mobile because they didn't want to cannibalize their Game Boy sales. It's a classic case of a big corporation being slow to react to change or even trying to stop it because they hold a dominant position in the old system.

Nintendo would much prefer if "mobile gaming" still meant Game Boys but the world has already made their decision and they can't stop it. They can't ignore the sales figures on what would have otherwise been an obscure goofy spinoff fitness app on the Game Boy. They've ignored the mobile market for too long and now there is pent up demand. Without Pokemon Go I doubt you would have seen the sudden scramble to develop and release a Mario game for iPhone.
The problem is the burden of proof, which is the one massive feature distinguishing the topic of civil forfeiture from the rest of the criminal justice system in which it conceptually resides.
> Turning anything to cash is an expensive proposition.

It costs me $7 to change my stocks into cash and vice versa. Frankly, turning BTC -> USD -> BTC is harder than turning Apple stock -> USD -> Apple stock.
I don't think they're still there, at least run by the same people. That store got sort of flattened by the Wa State liquor reconfiguration, where Costco and the grocery stores can now sell hard alcohol.

> Likewise, a user coding on a CPU like SAFE or CHERI tagged for memory safety in a language that's memory-safe will not be burdened more than someone coding in C on x86. They will be burdened less by less mental effort required in both prevention and debugging of problems.

In the parent commenter's framework, I suppose the safer language still comes at a cost in terms of the ability to use unsafe programming techniques -- like type punning and self-modifying code.

I'll upvote because you're not entirely wrong. It's entirely reasonable to require that the proceeds of criminal activity be taken from the criminals. Whether it's a stolen car, drugs, or money made from selling a stolen car and drugs. It's all (mostly) similar.

The devil is in the details, though. The rampant "theft by cop" is where you have money, and they take it. No charges, much less conviction.

It's "guilty until proven innocent", which violates one of the fundamental principles of our justice system. It's outright corruption.

Thanks. We agree with your statement fully. We are raising the threshold of entry to your personal data substantially, but we are still far from perfection. We did a number of steps up in the security ladder. We are also taking steps to minimize ME abilities in ORWL. Our long term plan is to limit ME capabilities using the BIOS configuration. We just released the SOW of the 1st BIOS with Eltan on the WiKi.
https://www.orwl.org/wiki/index.php?title=File%3ASowDESIGN-S...
We are planning to investigate how to further limit ME capabilities with Eltan and we will update the SOW as we make progress.
We also believe that the current secure micro controller implementation severely limit the ME capability through power management and the SSD key management.
I don't think it takes "character" to handle money. It's a skill like any other, and people who grow up with wealth have more opportunity to learn that skill.
Going by the "one shot" metaphor, if poor folks even get that shot, it might just be a hand-load where the case, slug, and powder were all scavenged by sweeping the floors at the firing range, and the primer inherited from a dead relative.

You're more likely to hit what you're aiming at if you're not worried about whether you're going to blow up your favorite hand when you pull the trigger.

Seriously, the hardest part for me about teaching and writing is going back and trying to see the problem from the eyes of the "guy you were before". Now that it's all obvious, it's suddenly all not that hard anymore and even a little embarrassing to write down - I mean you can find all of this stuff on the Postgres Mailing lists, or superb books like "High Performance Postgres", so it's actually trivial, right?

Thing is, there's still way too few good and reasonably short TL;DR guides for Postgres out there (somehow it's always getting a little less love than MySQL, although this is starting to change), so I thought I'd give it a try, wrap it in an entertaining real-world story and in this way give a little part back to this awesome community. So: Glad you like it! AMA

Our lifestyles, particularly in major cities, seem to demand constant anxiety by their very nature. I could certainly envision building a city from the ground up that reduces anxiety.
I don't think you need oversight if you have a fair playing field for competitors. If switching from Facebook to... that other social network (?.. that's exactly the problem) was as easy as switching which restaurant you eat at, I wouldn't be calling for regulation I would be content using the social network that I thought was good for me. But I can't, because nothing comes close to Facebook.

I feel that if we had broken up Microsoft in the 90's, we'd be in a much better place today. We're still churning out professionals by the millions who are fully dependent on proprietary software to make a living, when nearly equivalent free alternatives do exist for many of them (Office, CAD, Adobe are the biggest). It makes me sad, and Microsoft had a huge hand in that.
But the coding at home would be your IP and you'd have no boss to tell you what tech to use.

Well, no.

After multiple DUIs, someone can have their license taken away permanently. The justice system has a long history of restricting peoples behavior who are (a) out of jail, but (b) still a danger to themselves or others.

Erm... BTC is less stable than USD by every conceivable measure.

Tell me: would you be surprised if BTC changed in price by 50% by the end of this month? I wouldn't be, I simply don't trust BTC to retain its value in any way. BTC goes up or down, and that's bad for "currencies"
He's a sociology professor at the University of Chicago, not some slack-jawed rube. Also, the point of the article is that success as gang rappers makes these boys targets for other gangs and their lives and options become limited, not that they're a danger to anyone outside of the gang territories.

Chicago is a complicated city - the safe parts are among the safest of any American city, and the unsafe parts are so dangerous that it drags the citywide numbers down. See http://www.urbanophile.com/2013/08/12/the-growing-public-saf...

"Over the last twenty years, at the same time as overall crime has declined, the inequality of violence in Chicago has skyrocketed ... There have always been safer and more dangerous areas here, as there are everywhere; but the gap between them is way, way bigger now than it used to be ... In the early 90s, the most dangerous third of the city had about six times as many murders as the safest third. By the late 2000s, the most dangerous part of the city had nearly fifteen times more homicides than the safest third."

What would data analytics infrastructure (namely Hadoop) look like if we rebuilt it from scratch today? We think it would be containerized, modular, and easy enough for a single person to use while still being scalable enough for a whole company. Tools like Docker and Kubernetes provide the perfect building blocks for us revolutionize data infrastructure!

Pachyderm is just 4 people right now, so you'd be getting in right at the ground floor and have an enormous impact on the success and direction of the company as well as building the rest of the engineering team.

Salaries start at $120k and go up from there based on experience. We also offer significant equity, full benefits, and all the usual startup perks. This position is based in SF.

Positions:

* Core distributed systems/infrastructure engineer (Go)

* Front-end Engineer -- Own the entire front-end, admin dashboard, and web services backend for Pachyderm!

* Lead Developer Advocate -- build machine learning and data science examples, write blog posts, give talks, evangelize Go, Docker, and Kubernetes, and generally just get Pachyderm in on the conversation.

This is a bad analogy. I don't think there's really any question as to whether driverless cars in the long term are going to be good. The only question is when they'll be good enough to start using en mass. And the point the article is making is that, unlike wonder drugs, driverless cars will be constantly improving themselves while being used. So if you start using driverless cars at the point where they're expected to be marginally safer than the average driver, then in a very short amount of time they should become significantly better than the average driver (and should still keep improving).

agree completely, the thrust of the article is that "we need to do more to find these diamonds in the rough", what about the kids that are not so lucky to have been born with the kind of mental capacity that makes them find school so easy? do we just throw them to the wolves?

Fine that "diamonds" should be fostered as it is much better for society as a whole that gifted people use those gifts to their fullest extent, but we should not lose track of the fact that not everybody has been born with the same capabilities, and giving everybody equal opportunities is not the same thing as making sure everybody can live a fulfilling and decent life no matter if their IQ is 50 or 150.
I've just learned to live with it, and try to manage my anxiety by refocusing the intrusive thoughts into some kind of "mana well" where i use it as energy to work harder, or center me more or as a tool to remind myself how far I've come, etc. To try to let the beast be my pet so to speak.

That can be kind of its own trap too, in a meta kind of way - if i get in that "place" where im using fear to fuel me, I can start to reinforce the fear itself and tattoo it even more on my psyche.

Ultimately its just part of who I am. I've learned to accept it.

It's also a strength. I can work circles around almost anyone, and in the face of some problem at work, no matter how "serious" it is - compared to the very real adversities I've overcome in my life, work domain problems are an idyllic wet dream by comparison.

The emotions are still there though. They kind of hang like a spectre. That's just life though, I suppose. Memory is a funny thing.

Woah, seems crazy that the police can keep something that was technically stolen property and not return it to the original owner. How can a judge argue that it will just be used to transfer drugs again, it's not the drug offender's property and she wasn't accessory... That's not relevant to the case, the owner isn't using it to traffic drugs.

IANAL, just confused.
> In contrast, you have to be much more aware on American mass transit to avoid problems.

Okay, but does that have to translate into anxiousness? Paying attention to things, even looking out for potential risks, doesn't have to feel negative IMHO.

Consider the difference between "hmm, that guy seems to be on drugs and could be armed, I wonder if I'll only get wounded, or if he'll actually kill me" and thinking, as you slightly shift position to something more useful while pretending to not notice the person you're bracing yourself for: "okay, so when this guy thinks he's attacking me from behind, as I watch his reflection in the window, and just before I ram my heel into his nutsack with the force of a thousand subway trains: which one of these people, who will all no doubt fawn over my heroic move and rush over to see if I'm okay, will I grin at, look deeply in the eye and ask out for dinner?".

It's the same situation, just day dreaming near an unarmed guy who won't do anything; but one actually gives you energy, the other drains it, for no purpose. Of course the example is exaggerated, but still, being scared doesn't help you at all, some might even say that's exactly what would attract an evildoer, like blood in the water attracts piranhas. They want victims, not challenges.

IMHO anxiety isn't a defense mechanism, it's a leak, an inefficiency. I don't know if the word comes from "angst", but fear and angst are two very different things. That is, one is a thing, the other is just a black hole which can swallow up all sorts of things. I don't mean this in a finger waggling kind of way, but more in a "you deserve even better" sort of way. I have sympathy for anxious people, but not for anxiety, I think it's a poison.

All the best for you and all, if nothing else, take it in that spirit. (I'm correct though :P)
The new title is worse than the first.

Sure, it's easier and cheaper to wire USD to another country than it is to exchange USD for BTC, send BTC, and then exchange BTC to USD. Just like it's cheaper to wire USD to another country than it is to exchange USD for literally anything, send that literally anything, and then exchange that literally anything to USD.

If you insist on using BTC as a transfer mechanism for USD, you're going to incur most of the fees and risk you would if you used GBP, CAD, AUD, Yen, or any other currency as a transfer mechanism for USD. I'm not sure why anyone would expect anything different.

However, if you compare apples to apples, transferring BTC which is denominated in BTC throughout the transaction is much easier and cheaper than transferring USD which started is denominated in USD throughout the transaction.

That's certainly not going to be misreported in the media.
California is not the only electric car market, I think they will phase out the subsidies there over time. They were jump starting the market in a useful direction. That's all that these rebates are trying to do. In July 2012, even the tesla model s had not come outer - that is slightly more than 4 years ago. Look at all the choices now! It's amazing to me how well cali rules plus the us tax subsidies kick started the market.

People buy teslas, leafs, i3s everything in my northwest state and we don't have a state rebate or requirement like California. Leafs were ~$250/month here. You see tons of them; when they increase the range a bit, I predict sales will really go up.
Nit: that's not an RFC, it's just an issue in the RFC repo.

PRs in that repo are a much bigger deal than issues: issues are a place to talk in a general sense and see if others are interested in the feature, but converting that into an actual, actionable RFC is a lot of work. I'm not aware of any actual RFC for non-lexical lifetimes, because everyone who would do such a thing knew we had to wait for MIR to shake out before they were realistically possible, and so writing an RFC before then would mostly be a waste of time.
Sort of. It's not just that, it's that though the things successful people do are hard, underprivileged people also have to try hard just to get to the entry point. Getting people to even look at you or recognize that you could do the job is itself an extra measure of labor before the job even begins.

It's hard to estimate with no data. Nintendo had never released any other mobile games and the few NES/SNES ports had modest sales (at admittedly high price points for mobile).

When it comes down to it, the game is closer to a fitness app than a Pokemon game and can be described as bare bones. The fancy accessory wasn't even available at launch. Many of the players are people who have not bought a Pokemon game in over a decade, or ever in some cases.

If there is one area I can solidly criticize Niantic for it is rushing the other region releases so quickly. It's clear the servers were already badly overloaded and they just started adding countries left and right. I know it sucks for people who live in those countries to have to sit out while the rest of the world is having fun, but it's really not much more fun to sit at the eternal loading screen because the backend is entirely on fire.
Treatments other than mindfulness training are not simply a "bandaid." CBT is the gold standard, for example, and countless thousands of people have found it alleviates their anxiety without their ever even learning what "existential suffering" means. Mindfulness is certainly one of the major tools in the anxiety toolbox, but it is neither the only nor - arguably - even the best tool available. This is especially true given that anxiety is not a single problem with a single cause.

It's been really cool watching the design and development of the new error messages from the outside. There was significant inspiration drawn from the Elm language's fantastic error messages [1] and even a project that provided something similar (but not built into rustc) [2].

I've always thought that Rust's command line tooling is really top notch. The language may be complex, but the authors of rustc make it a point of pride to make it as easy as possible for users anyway. The new errors will make it that much easier to learn and be productive in Rust.

Also, the community involvement in this release is really spectacular. There were 83 participants working together on the new error messages [3] and 176 total involved directly with the rust compiler just for 1.12! (ok, well, including a few bots)

totally agree. the author of that article completely doesn't even mention the fact that his bank wire is already in the proper currency and doesn't require a currency conversion. currency conversion from your bank will definitely cost you money - min is 1% fee for the bank, usually a bit more. So while the banking wire is a flat fee, a currency conversion would have cost him a fair amount.

if he already owned BTC he would have avoided the first two steps and saved himself $180.
