Article recommends creating private/public pair via vanitiygen but imo that's not the best way to do it.

Alternative:

Create HD wallet (via electrum e.g.), get "public master key" and use it everywhere. You can generate consequent public addresses using that key but you can't generate private keys (i.e. spend anything).
Now your server is protected from stealing any money and don't require any special backups for these new keys.
This comes from reason.org, which immediately should raise everyone's suspicions, but it's pretty well written and organized. We can evaluate it ourselves, and since I find my city's ban pretty annoying, I thought "Why not?".

Section 2.1 disagrees with the notion that plastic bags consume lots of natural resources by quoting someone who claims that they consume a lot of oil, and disagreeing with him, saying that they are made from mostly natural gas. This is just silly: technically they're not wrong, but their argument is only compelling if you for some reason believe that natural gas is a less valuable resource than oil.

Section 2.2 starts off well, citing a study saying that HDPE bags aren't actually that big a component of litter overall. Point in favor there. They also cited the same study to demonstrate that plastic bags aren't that big of a storm drain problem. It goes downhill from there: the section on the marine ecosystem basically consists of them disagreeing with more reliable sources without actually citing any evidence. Then, it for some reason goes into a discussion of the Pacific garbage island, which seems irrelevant.

That section turns around at the end, proposing a better way to reduce litter and citing a successful example of such a program.

Section 2.3, on whether or not restrictions on HDPE bags actually reduce waste. The first section establishes that plastic bags aren't that big a fraction of landfill waste: This is the beginning of a good argument, but to complete the argument they would need to show that bag restrictions have cost larger than that small benefit, and they did not do this.

Landfill decomposition: This is a good argument, +1 point here.

Section 2.4, Global Climate: The life cycle analysis in section 3 does a good job of supporting the argument that plastic bags don't significantly contribute to climate change.

Section 4 cites various anecdotes about the long term effectiveness of bag restrictions. There are only six such examples cited. That suggests cherry picking, since there were many more such examples even two years ago.

This section does also reiterate the previous good argument that an effective plastic bag ban wouldn't help that much if at all with greenhouse emissions.

Further on, in section 4.6, the document tries to make the argument that bag restrictions are expensive, but the numbers they describe seem similarly small to the damage described in section 2.3. While completing the argument, it doesn't actually make it compelling.

The health argument is one I've heard a lot, so I won't try to address it here: that argument is all over the place.

Overall the document makes some good points, some suspect ones, and some irrelevant ones.
And Hollande, Merkel is center right, is that what a liberal is? Germany is just a moral society.
The NYT, which got this entire election wrong, is now telling us more about this election.

Former NYT writer says, "It was a shock on arriving at the New York Times in 2004, as the paper’s movie editor, to realize that its editorial dynamic was essentially the reverse. By and large, talented reporters scrambled to match stories with what internally was often called “the narrative.” We were occasionally asked to map a narrative for our various beats a year in advance, square the plan with editors, then generate stories that fit the pre-designated line."

Uber: Losing crazy amounts of VC cash to [often illegally] compete against traditional companies that must be cashflow positive. It's not a level playing field. Laws exist so that drivers could make a livable wage; Uber is devaluing the medallions they've invested in.

This is two separate points. The one about dumping / running at a loss to remove competition makes sense.

But the one about taxi medallions and a "livable wage"? Yeah, that one's bullshit. Limiting supply (of anything!) to jack up prices is not a good-for-society practice.
Can't speak to this study, but now I have to buy plastic bags to line my garbage cans instead of reusing the ones stores give me.

All in all I still throw out fewer bags.
i don't think we need to 'think of' it as such... this is precisely what it is.

... and don't forget its not just the bus that is unreliable, but the data store too. :)
This was a prevalent idea in physics till quantum mechanics burst into the scene. I don't remember where I saw it, this the most convincing argument I heard regarding simulating future: Our universe is actually the most efficient computer that can simulate the future with our physical laws. Meaning, at any given time, it is not actually executing a pre-determined program, it is busy computing the future.
There's a self-paced in-depth program I can highly recommend that might allow you to do/explore this in a moderate way - that is, without quitting. I'd be happy to chat about it. My email is in my profile.

Hey Brendan! :)
The window has shifted again.

Yesteryear's center-left are soon enough today's leftist radicals.
I'd think the answer would depend on which of the top 3 tech companies you work for: Apple, Samsung, or Foxconn.

Edit: Let me try a more helpful response (though I did intend to make a point there). You seem very focused on what you have: a good salary, a top 3 education, a job at a top 3 company. Things you expect should make you happy, basically, but you aren't, and this is confusing, and it's always scary to give it up if you haven't figured out why those things don't make you happy. But IMO, if that interpretation is correct, it's more important to attempt to find things that do make you happy rather than dwell too much on why the things you have, which are often equated with success in our culture, are not doing it.
I personally think you are better off trying to learn this on your own. It seems like you have the enthusiasm. It sounds like you're also unhappy with where you work. You could try changing jobs to something where you have lots of free time (good/work life balance, no commute) and work on learning to code. Coding boot camps are very web development focused.
> I have a feeling tremendous opportunity will be available over the next 10 years to software developers while other disciplines such as management become less and less important.

We're in a period when everyone is "learning to code". This means the potential pool of developers (ignoring their actual talent levels) is growing.

Someone has to check whether the stuff people are making is following whet needs to be created. Someone has to be able to manage the teams of people making these things.

I'd suggest your premise is the wrong way round.
You can look for companies that leverage technology to reduce climate change. I worked for Ecosia.org and they did exactly that.
Cultivating government agencies comes in handy especially for global business ops and legal snafus. And I think Google's general 'stalkiness' and getting people used to being stalked ties right in with surveillance culture.
I am really disappointed at Stallman using this old canard of "Uber is cheap but then they become a monopoly and will charge you huge sums forever". There's no way for Uber to do with without government's help and there's no way to anybody to do it without government's help really - maybe in very short term, but it would be so ruinous in the long term nobody would do it. It's just fear mongering. Uber is not a monopoly, is not close to monopoly and will never be a monopoly, not unless some crazy government regulation suddenly makes it so.
Not for a moment.
sometimes not even that. it might just update a single register and write nothing to cache or memory... and that cost might be hidden by out-of-order execution and the parallelism of different units on the CPU, making it effectively zero-cost.
"Companies"?
The model you are describing is dying a speedy death IMHO.
The only PMs left where I work are quite technical and do manage to join the dots between projects economics, office-politics, and engineering.
Needing a PM is an indication that either something is very new, or is going very wrong.
May I advise you to look for employment somewhere not going down the drain?

I wouldn't risk my business only because a google employee tweeted "30x redirects don't lose PageRank anymore.". Because there is a lot room for different interpretations and open questions.
Using accusation of discrimination, corruption, and oppression to justify the oppression of Trump supporters is morally wrong. The witch-hunt must stop.

Do you see what you're doing?

"Witches are bad, and since Trump supporters are witches, it's okay to kill them."

It's all accusations. There is no videos proof of Trump supporters going around lynching Black people like what the KKK did back in the old days.

You're doing a witch hunt where you accuse Trump supporters of being a witch, and then justifying that it's okay to kill them them because they're witches. Do you see how wrong that is? You don't even know them personally, so how would you even know that they're witches?
If you cared about the environment as you claim you do you would not oppose efforts to lessen the damage we do to it.

I don't oppose efforts to lessen the damage. I oppose efforts that do not change the damage in any way, shape or form, or efforts that impose large costs at little or no benefit at all.
"Only". Raising your "I think twisting names to sound like a four-year-old" flag is not an "only".

I mean, he's totally correct about the sharing economy stuff and I think "piecework subcontractor economy" is a way better description of the --but I literally can't send this to anybody I know because they'll think I agree with the childishness. This is kind of like an amplified version of the LessWrong silliness--when you have an epistemic closure in which you start redefining basic tents, you have to tone it down when you're talking to normal people or you sound like the kind of crazy person who'd you expect to be raving at you in the streets.

PR matters. If Stallman wants to just wave his hands in the air for the rest of his life, more power to him, but I'd think he'd want to actually achieve some of the goals he says he does.

Then again, he thinks taxis are a positive just because you can pay cash, and he lives near me so he has been exposed to the fine (cough hack wheeze) hackney cabs of the Boston area, so I'm not sure we're even living in the same universe at the basic level.
> I always make the effort to repeat back errors she makes, in the correct form, without interrupting the dialog.

This is a good approach. I even use the same technique with my very young child, who still makes mistakes with English irregular verbs.
Yes very crazy. I have a anecdotal survey of all coders I know: most of whom all graduated from only median Tier-2 US & News Report Ranked Nat'l Universities (>15) and whom have on average, earn only median Fortune Magazine's Best Jobs annual ranked salaries as Application Developer, and only very few employed by Forbes' Most Admired Companies list or who are on the Mattermark's Top 100 Startup Index.

Most don't feel like they're building lasting career skills, as agism persists in the industry and most people work on web applications to satisfy enterprise project business specification and project managers. During lunch, I hear conversations about the future of technology and the type of technology that we can work on if we only quit to start or work for a cool start up (e.g., Tesla, SpaceX). The consensus is that there is a tremendous opportunity for these emerging technology area's while other disciplines such as closing JIRA tickets will become marginalized. So I'd advise you to stay away from the enterprise coding bootcamps and only apply for the specialized tech bootcamp that emphasizes on these emerging technologies. The few that come to the mind are, creating new cryptocurrency payment models (for Paypal), writing self-driving cars hardware/software (for Tesla) and harnessing deep/learning AI (for Google DeepMind).

I'm not sure that opposing green parties for their bizarre beliefs is necessarily opposing environmentalism. Green opposition to nuclear power has been a disaster for the environment, to take one example.
> George W. Bush was well-known for sticking his foot in his mouth by making up words (e.g.: "strategery")

Generally true, but "strategery" was actually coined by SNL writers for Will Ferrell, although it is frequently misattributed to Bush. The Bush administration did start using it internally tongue-in-cheek.
i've seen virtuals completely removed and inlined by gcc when there is enough information for it to do that, and a simple enough use case... probably other compilers are similar.
So, the point of the article seems to be that "Full Body reading" is a way of reading in which one is so immersed in the story that one can vividly imagine being involved in an intimate way in the story; that itself creates other stories (fan-fiction). Is that what the author is talking about or did I miss something?

On a side note, complete immersion is what makes books like Harry Potter and LOTR so gratifying to read (at least for me). They are believable enough that you just slide into that world.
Still, article could be correct, you're just taking this chance to let people know you don't approve of the NYTimes, not actually making an critique of the content itself....
Here in Portland we use paper bags. I have a nice pile of them that I use for holding recycling. There's no cost per bag either. More cities should go this route.
Yeah, but you know, everyone needs an editor. Anyone who writes stuff should run it by another set of eyes.

Every single piece Stallman writes would be stronger if someone would say "take out the Goober bit" or "take out the Swindle" bit or whatever other goofy names he comes up with.

This 4th grade stuff just weakens his essays. It isn't good, it doesn't need to be there. All it tells me is that he's not running his stuff by anyone who'll challenge him to make his writing stronger.
false dichotomy.
Not if the value of those assets declines, as when technology advances obsolete those assets.
I thought it was because a multi-billion dollar firm pushed onto other multi-billion dollar firms with long-term expectations of them making billions more if they made targets of market share. And this occurred for both sides.

Average VC startup isn't going to be a Linux or Android as one is an outlier (like Red Hat) and other happened due to investment by corporate behemoth that was pro-OSS. Probably also an outlier given most aren't pro-OSS.
One of the reasons I'm using Uber is that it's quite safe. Otherwise, most of the times you try to get into a cab, they try to rip you off. There are rigged meters, long routes, switching bills when you are paying, etc.
Unlike in your metaphor, though, both Uber and AirBnB were breaking the law at the time they were founded; those laws were not written in response to them, but to prevent things like them from cropping up.
Trudeau in Canada has a pretty good claim to that, too:

Your post got me searching: I found a Washington Post article with a nice analysis and a left-right scale of common news sources. Both slate and breitbart are outliers:

Time to update my news reading preferences!
Shared corporate model between half a dozen people, non of whom would know how to use it in R or Python.

A ton of inputs from different departments, monthly updates, etc.

If there's a good web-based tool/package for bringing this stuff into R/Python, I'm listening! (And I don't mean shiny- you need a way to look/edit the inputs too)
I mean, you have to look at, validate, and clean your data no matter how you chose to analyze it. Any tool, whether it uses a "real" programming language or not, is going to need to support that to be useful at all, and unless your data is "fits in one or two screens of a spreadsheet" scale, I don't see how they would be better in this regard.
I'm still not happy with self-driving on vision alone, or vision augmented with radar. There are too many hard cases for vision. Everybody who has good self-driving right now - Google, Otto, Volvo, GM - uses LIDAR.

Self-driving is coming to the first end users in 2017, in Volvo's test of 100 vehicles. Volvo has multiple LIDARs, multiple radars, multiple cameras, redundant computers, and redundant actuators. They're being cautious. Yet they're getting there first.

With the new hardware, Tesla ought to be able to field smart cruse control that doesn't ram into stopped vehicles partially blocking a lane. They've rammed stopped vehicles at speed three times now. At least with the new hardware things should get better. Do they still have the radar blind spot at windshield height?

if you use public transport regularly you would have seen it. its probably the mostly widely read paper in the london area together with the evening standard. both are free, and most people don't go out of their way to buy newspapers any more...

they aren't great sources, but they are also the most often used source of news by many commuters in the london area

you do get them further afield, but there is not the same scale of public transport usage.
Plastic grocery bags are a disaster, purely from a utility standpoint. I really miss the days of the brown paper bags; you could fit as much in one paper bag as in four or five plastic bags, they were rugged enough to actually hold up, and you could compost them or use them for kindling.
Sounded interesting until the crank shit at the end.
I have a feeling you have a different definition of "simple maths" than most people.
>So we should all be tolerant of racism, sexism, outright sexual assualt ("grab 'em by the pussy") and boasting of same, mocking the disabled, stiffing contractors and suppliers?

The problem is, most Trump supporters are not racist or sexist.

You're doing a witch hunt where you accuse someone of being a witch, and then justifying that it's okay to kill them them because they're witches. Do you see how wrong that is? You don't even know them personally, so how would you even know that they're witches?
Have a look at https://www.terraform.io/ It seems to match your listed requirements. I much prefer it to Cloudformation.

There are a few downsides:
- It's not yet version 1.0 (but seems good enough for real world use)
- There are pitfalls about state management and locking (where two people run it at the same time) https://github.com/gruntwork-io/terragrunt should solve that.

I spoke as a White Male, not as a representative of all White Males. It would help if you focused on the discussion at hand instead of just perpetuating ad hominem attacks.

Your position appears to be that nobody should speak for, or even attempt to understand, anyone who does not share their own particular experience. That is obviously fallacious and suggests trolling.

I'm not sure what clear-cut categories you are reading. Perhaps you could in your infinite wisdom educate us poor unenlightened seekers of wisdom as to the true state of world affairs?
fair enough, but its a different metric of success. :)
In some cases, the burden could affect business owners more than customers, if they open more checkout stands to account for longer delays to maintain a similar level of service.
Is Peter Thiel going around lynching Black people like the KKK?

No?

It's easy to tell computer engines aren't analyzing perfectly, because when we tell to them to play themselves, they lose a large fraction of their games, as both colors. Perfect play would always force at least a draw from at least one side.

There's no known tractable way to solve chess. There's something like 10^120 move orders [0], and no known way to find perfect play without brute-forcing (almost) all of them. Chess engines can't solve to to the end of a game to see which moves are certain to win; they can only explore to a very shallow depth, and evaluate the horizon nodes by very human-like [1] approximate heuristics.

It looks perfect from a human PoV (the best human players have no chance of winning); but there's still an unimaginably large gulf between chess engines and mathematically perfect chess.

Sorry, but it's over.
Author here, surprised to see this on HN! I considered submitting it myself but didn't think this crowd was that into Bitcoin. Nice to be proven wrong :)

A couple of people mentioned HD wallets:

I initially tried using an HD wallet, but the mechanism for interacting with it was more inconvenient than generating keys manually - especially considering that you might have to generate hundreds of addresses in a row that never receive a payment.

I've added an update at the end of the article.

Cheers!
I have no issue with education and teaching without coercion, what you are proposing though is use of force to prevent spread of information you do not like or that might cause people to reject your ideology.

This is the real issue here. You are arguing in favour of using force (the basis of Socialism) while I'm arguing for freedom. (the basis of Capitalism)

And please don't tell me that censorship or regulating media isn't really using force. You go break censorship laws in countries that have them and lets see what they will do to you.
I don't it usually on average it takes me roughly 10-15 seconds to have the interaction:

"Do you want the bags? That will be 10 cents"

"Ugh, yeah - give me three please"

Then occasionally I screw up and need another. Or the bag rips because I have too few. That takes like an extra 4 or 5 minutes plus money. Plus if I'm doing it on an automated machine there is usually a lot of lag.

Regardless it's not just the 15 seconds for me. There is a rough average of 2 people in line ahead of me so:

15 seconds for me + 30 seconds for others ahead in line
Look at how many point this Ruby 3x3 news got voted, look at how many replies we get here, look at Github trend.

Then looks at ( all of a sudden ) a few lash out against the Ruby Core Dev.

Those talk were done in 2012. They knew there were problems. But they sat there and did nothing and We are running into 2017.

I am not even sure if Ruby Core Dev talks to IBM OMR team and JRuby team.
