No there was no DDoS. Multiple Network Ops groups at the time said they saw no malicious traffic the whole night, either domestically or from international sources.

The report calls the DoS an "event" rather than an "attack", carefully worded so that tech journalists would pick up on the wrong thing, but clear that it was not malicious intentional traffic.

The DoS was the Australian public attempting to use an online government service.
Most GNU manuals I've seen come as:

* HTML - entirely on one web page.

* HTML - one web page per node.

* HTML compressed (gzipped tar file) - with one web page per node.

* Info document (gzipped tar file).

* ASCII text compressed (gzipped).

* TeX dvi file (gzipped).

* PDF file.

* Texinfo source (gzipped tar file).

If the one big file (great for grepping) was too confusing, you probably want to opt for HTML, with one file per node. For example, the Sockets/Local Namespace page for glibc: [0]

And it appears the help files are seperate inside the source code as well. [1]

There's a paper trail. It's just that when the Fed buys something the money is pulled from thin air. When the debt is paid back the principal returns to thin air, the profit goes to the US Treasury.

Not all government debt is purchased by the treasury though – it only does that in special circumstances to moderate the financial system. Most of is is purchased domestically and much of that by other pieces of government.

And you can't keep it secret. It's like supply and demand. More money means prices naturally raise because more people have more money to spend and will be willing to pay a higher price.

This does not check. They refuse to hold cc data on a security promise but are willing to host bitcoin wallets. Bitcoin laying around on game servers sounds like a good target to me.

They would be much better using a third party for cc payments, regarding security at least.

I hope this means that we will have new posts on Andrew's blog (Minimally Minimal). Microsoft asked him to remove nearly all of his new posts related to design thus some of his last articles (e.g. about the Xbox One S) have been online only for a week or so.
Also worth noting: predicting that someone will commit a crime doesn't mean that we have to arrest them. We could use the prediction to target other (voluntary) intervention.

Of course, we already use less than 100% effective prediction to target non-arrest intervention, so it's quite possible that 100% prediction would only have the effect to better target what we already do (and potentially alleviate harm or waste), rather than Minority Report style pre-crime arrests.

Im not sure crime prediction is a moral quagmire, just that what we use as a basis for prediction or a few drastic uses, like pre-crime arrests, are tough questions.

"Who paid? Seems to me the taxpayers did"

The thousands of bankers that lost their jobs.

Major banks collapsed.

Entire divisions were shut down.

Banks did not concoct their near-death demise, even though it was self-inflicted.

Yes, arguably taxpayers 'paid' as well with unfair bailouts, but there's no case to be made that the banks 'won' in this one. They would have preferred to avoid that crash altogether.

I'm not suggesting that they are not mostly 'at fault' - but they were not criminal, is my point.

It would be unwise to seek to blood when really what is needed is some smarter regulatory conditions.
Mandatory SSC post going into more detail than anyone probably wants to on the actual statistics of this stuff:

TLDR: "There seems to be a strong racial bias in capital punishment and a moderate racial bias in sentence length and decision to jail. There is ambiguity over the level of racial bias... There seems to be little or no racial bias in arrests for serious violent crime, police shootings in most jurisdictions, prosecutions, or convictions."

Yvon is a rich dirtbag(in the good sense of the word as a climber) that made Patagonia into an ethical company. The clothes are expensive but quality. He openly states that he'd rather you repair the clothes vs buying the latest fashion every year. Iirc he was either one of the first adopters as an ethical company or possibly the one that created the legal distinction.

180 degrees south is a pretty fun movie if you are into adventure. He was a prolific rock climber and entrepreneur. Black diamond and Patagonia were his two main companies... Both quite successful though he did have some lawsuits with his chouinard equipment brand that he spun into bd.

Imagine a situation where you are 50% support engineer (meaning your teammates' tasks depend on you, let's say sysadmin) and 50% worker (carpenter, developer, DBA, cleaner). Basically 20h/w are your slack hours for ad-hoc tasks.

You get a worker task, say add a button to your application, estimate it at 12h and schedule to start on Wednesday. Ok, Monday is release date. Then it turns out that the worker task actually takes more than 12h. And at the same time on Wednesday some computer/server breaks, which takes 12h to fix, so there are no slack hours this week. Basically you are left with extra X hours this week. Is this overtime? If you took afternoon off on Tuesday?

Another situation. You get a 2 hour maintenance window at 19:00 on Friday. If you get to leave 2 hours early, technically there is no overtime. But in practice your workday is 08:00-21:00 - 13 hours long on Friday.

This is the [moral] issue with yearly/monthly salary. Basically employee agrees to agree on task length estimates and then do those tasks, not much different from consultant agreeing on hourly rate and task list with estimates. And this is somewhat of a problem, because power dynamics usually favour employer and employee can be coerced to work unpaid overtime. It is easy to hourly bill production line workers, but it is much different with intellectual tasks where output is not fixed. Is watching the birds while you contemplate on the problem work or not? Maybe you start thinking about your pet parrot. A huge can of worms here. I would say that higher salaries (despite supply/demand, education, etc.) in intellectual fields are the effect of expected occasional overtime not vice versa.

If your employer takes your actual output as "best you can do" and in some way compensates for everything exceeding 40 weekly/8 daily hours I hope for them to succeed and expand so there are more places like that :)

No - it's not 'printing money'.

Because government debt first has to be bought by someone on the open market, for some market-based price.

Only then can they go to the central bank.

The Central Bank does not buy from the Government.

But there's a systematic problem there I would admit.

The really wealthy people are just really wealthy, beyond what most of us here can probably conceive of. Even if you strike it big in Silicon Valley and make $10M-$50M from your startup, you're still nowhere near all the Chinese real estate magnates, Saudi oil magnates, the people whose family fortune has been accumulating for the past hundred years or so, etc.

I was actually surprised to find that the net worth of many celebrities that most of us imagine as really wealthy is not all that much compared to the aforementioned. For instance, let's pick Benedict Cumberbatch, an actor who just had the lead role in a Marvel movie being shown around the world that a lot of people would immediately recognize on the street - a cursory internet search indicates his net worth is about $20M. Not a crazy amount by any means.

Look at what Pfizer claims they found in counterfeit Viagra:

Blue printer ink

Amphetamines, also known as “speed”

Metronidazole, a powerful antibiotic that could
cause an allergic reaction, diarrhea, or vomiting

Too much active ingredient (or not enough),
which may cause you harm

Binding agents, such as drywall, that prevent
the tablet from breaking down in your system

And look what Pfizer claims they found in other counterfeit medications:

Toxic ingredients, such as boric acid, floor wax,
brick dust, rat poison, and road paint

Ingredients that can have dangerous interactions
with other medications you may be taking

A completely different medication with
potentially harmful side effects

Yes I know that Pfizer is hardly a disinterested party. But I still get the impression that there's a lot of defective product out there.

Not just counterfeit, but indisputably defective!

QE is pretty far from printing money, but admittedly, it's related.

But in any event: the US Fed, even their QE policies - are managed fairly intelligently. They're done in a manner that keeps the faith in the USD.

The USD because it's such a broad currency, gives a lot of opportunity for the Fed to do some crazy things.

Venezuela has a lot less 'wiggle room' - that said - small countries that act responsibly will do fine.

Well what comes around, goes around or such. I remember during my studies (Literature, Culture and such) to having read of methodologies used in the 18th century to detect criminals by their physiological features.

On person doing these studies was for example Francis Galton (who by the way did quite a mix of things from eugenics to statistics and "the wisdom of the crowd")[1].

Lots of things, coming from the old times into the modern times like Physignomy [2] that was also used for racial identification/discrimination in the 20th century.

Have fun walking deeper into that rabbit hole of history. What I take from that is, that bad ideas never die, even if science was able to debunk them.

Or as @thechao already said:

> Alternately: criminal prosecution is targeted at people who "look like" criminals; thus, the NN is just selecting those people we think look like criminals, rather than any inherent criminality.

I think they are very good at taking things others more or less meddled in with little efford/interest in improvements and perfecting it (by applying a more software oriented approach). It's a doubly nice strategy as there's some talent basically waiting to be hired away to work on stuff they have championed (often falling on deaf ears). AR is a bit different since that's interesting to work on and other companies are more invested.

Is a loving husband, devoted father, kind neighbor, etc etc person who drove trains for the Nazi's a good person?

I feel that most people are in (considerably less extreme) versions of that situation: kind, generous people in general, who simply don't think about how the fairly banal things they do every day are part of really bad stuff. The distributed, banal nature of modern evils -- and they were intentionally structured that way so people wouldnt think about it -- is really what allows evil to flourish in modern society.

Yeah, it wasnt a big deal you flipped a train switch (or filled out mortgage loan paperwork a little shoddily, etc), and likely someone else would've done it instead, but if we all refused to do it, the world would be a better place.

I think many US judges are similar: they're good, a little bit selfish people who just don't think about the evil they contribute to.

Enforcing unjust laws, even fairly, is evil. And (almost) all US judges are guilty of that. (Eg, mandatory minimum drug laws, which empirically just cause harm.)
>if we had a 100% sure way of detecting that someone's going to commit a crime, should we use it

If it was 100% correct, it seems morally justifiable to use it, as long as you are a dictatorship. For a democracy, you would need not only correctness, but independently verifiable correctness. If the algorithm is 100% correct today but can be influenced tomorrow, you are giving absolute power over the state to whoever can influence the algorithm. After all, it's impossible to proof your innocence if you are convicted before the crime.

Basically, after solving the technical problems with creating the algorithm, you also need a system of checks and balances that can replace the public verifiability of our current court system.

5 tips to enhance your freelance work
Take this as a warning - I think your idea is too late.

I've been watching the various attempts at improving education in America and it smells
Exactly like what india/china have.

There's many details but broadly there's 1 major forces that shape this

economics-jobs

1) as normal jobs dry up/stop paying a good wage, it puts a downward pressure on education in things like politics/English/arts/philosophy and so on. This means people shift to the only hope left - STEM

Talking to people on forums from America who were exposed to multiple streams (and not just STEM) I can say you guys have historically enjoyed a deep insulation/resilience to stupid ideas/half baked ideas. Because you had people with diverse information, you could always stop a neophyte engineer from executing a shortest path solution with costs not apparent to engineers.

Once you have no jobs left for those people, parents will force their kids into the only options left.

This saturates the system with posers - people who pretend to like engineering but would rather be psychologists, painters, marketers or any non technical job.

This overloads and blows the fuses in the higher education application process, which forces them to adapt by adding more criteria and stricter criteria to get in.

The kinds of engineers you produce tomorrow are going to be unconcerned with being engineers. They are engineers to finish their first job stint and get an MBA.

Ethics become a word and a course you waste your time on, because if ethics mattered you wouldn't be an engineer in the first place.

Any system proposed needs to build with this in mind. I think simply making it useful to have multi discipline knowledge will be a way to maintain Your cultural resistance.

Sorry if I'm rambling
The real question is: does it really matter? I'd guess that around 5-10 million is when you can afford a nice house anywhere you want (I'm not talking about palaces with servants). You can have several holidays per year doing what you want, where you want it. Etc.

1. " I want to program using my phone and many many more features."

Yes--and yes! I actually don't have an activated smart phone. Partially, it's the monthly data cost--that just irks me. I think there's collusion going on. But a bigger part of me is I don't want to get used to just receiving information. I want to work on that little device. I want to build.

2. I want to see data costs go down. I would like to see more companies combining wifi, with cell signals. Someting along the line of what Republic Wireless is trying to pull off. Actually, I might just sign up for Republic wireless tomorrow. I think any smart phone that radically brings down monthly costs will be huge. Those $50 monthly phone bills are rediculious, at this point in the game.
I'm a bit confused after reading your post, especially your first paragraph. So no sarcasm intended here, just curiosity.

> you're still nowhere near all the Chinese real estate magnates, Saudi oil magnates, the people whose family fortune has been accumulating for the past hundred years or so, etc.

Are you implying those people would be richer than the publicly wealthy we know of (the Walton family, Gates, Buffet etc.)? If that is not the case, I don't think "inconceivable" is the word I would use in this case..
Think of it from the player's point of view. If you send someone not-quite-trusted or of fallible security $10 worth of btc, then the worst that can happen is you never see it again.

Riseup's warrant canary expires
If you had a magic oracle and, say, bought a ball for the fair price of $1 the day before you knew it would spike to $100, you are denying the seller an honest opportunity to sell it for $100. It's the moral equivalent of keeping your mouth shut when a clerk rings up an item for less than it costs. It might not be illegal, but it's certainly not "creating value" - you're using an information disparity to create a transaction with someone who wouldn't agree to your terms if they knew what you knew. ("Fools and their money" or something along those lines.)

Of course, once you add in the realities of uncertainty and much longer time periods, you can make more subtle arguments about risk exposure, hedging, etc. But in the simplest case, trading on privileged information is absolutely zero-sum, at least in the sense that there's a clear winner and loser (and in the stock market, it's illegal!)
