It's tough to say. On the one hand, the British government has historically been heavily pro-copyright itself. On the other hand, in recent years there have been some real attempts at significant, if still rather modest, copyright reform. The last of those actually reached the statute books, though it was undermined shortly afterwards, in part thanks to shenanigans involving European law.

There is still a depressing amount of old school thinking within the civil service and, particularly offensively, the House of Lords, where any time this debate comes up it seems a succession of privileged and wealthy individuals disclose interests that sound a lot like "I own millions of pounds of shares in Big Media companies" before telling us all why big copyright is essential to our national well-being.

But within other parts of the civil service, within the succession of formal reviews conducted by senior judges in recent years, and sometimes even within the Commons, there are also signs of our representatives and political leaders entering the 21st century and realising that the laws of the 20th may no longer serve either economics or technology well.
That home ownership rate includes everyone who lives in a dwelling owned by their family, so it includes the youth who lives with their parents because they can't afford to move out. Besides, all the home owners I know are not happy about constantly increasing prices either. Many of them think it's unfair, many don't like the foreign inflation aspect, and even pragmatically speaking it's harder to jump to owning a bigger dwelling now. So I don't know why this is going on, but it's not because most people want higher housing prices.
I think PHP needs to get async/await as soon as possible. I don't know how well it works in Hack but PHP7 was supposed to be written with asynchronous tasks in mind but I didn't see anything concrete since then.

A lot of NodeJs code is written just to parallelize API/DB calls and I'm sure PHP would be sufficient in a lot of cases.

I know there's libraries but good luck getting widespread enterprise adoption of those.

What's the hourly wage pre-tax after a decade of experience at these companies?
OP meant on what machine to buy (something you'd probably do before buying a Windows laptop anyway). But if like me can't be bothered with even this then just buy a system 76 or an xps with ubuntu pre-installed... No homework required.
I don't know if there is a huge need for this in the market though. I would rather spend to upgrade the media and other controls in the car than the rear view camera if I have to. For someone used to driving without a rear camera there is no need for one. They need more products.

I would completely discount the performance difference, totally agree. TB2 is plenty of bandwidth for an eGPU.

$300 is affordable, and prices will come down further.

If you want MacOS support, only that BizonBOX /says/ it will work. But I betcha they all will. I certainly wouldn't be the guinea pig, though-- wait for other people to try it out and post their experiences.

Images actually work fine! But yes, mentions don't quite "work", i.e. when you mention someone on twitter and it gets cross-posted to Mastodon, it appears as a string "@username@twitter.com" which is informative enough but not really "correct" if you get what I mean.
Your link is for zero-knowledge proof. They aren't claiming anything in the realm of proofs, zero-knowledge or not.

If "zero-knowledge" implicitly meant "zero-knowledge proof", there would be no reason to ever use the latter phrase. Zero-knowledge is an adjective. It's a modifier. It's the "proof" part in "zero-knowledge proof" that's important in describing what it is. "Zero-knowledge" is a property of the method employed.

The irony is that, wrt the original comment, it's end-to-end encryption that would be a misleading and misapplied label.

I'm not affiliated with this company and I've never even used this service before, and yet it's immediately clear what zero-knowledge means in the context of a cloud storage provider: you never need divulge your keys, so the question of whether you trust your provider or not is moot.

Back when Firefox Sync first launched, I was chasing the idea of referring to it and any similar service as "zero-trust" systems. But building a service and referring to it as "zero-knowledge cloud storage" is totally acceptable.

NStack | London, UK | Full time | Onsite | Functional Developers | http://nstack.com

We’re a building a platform for composable, data-driven microservices using a mixture of Haskell and Linux systems technology (including containers, systemd, dbus), with some typed DSLs, systems code, and distributed systems thrown in.

Our goal is to make it as easy as possible for the next generation of developers to build the next generation of cloud services, and we're doing this by applying the fundamental lessons of programming languages and operating systems to provide an abstraction over infrastructure.

We’re looking for talented programmers -- preferably with some knowledge of typed functional languages and *NIX systems programming -- to join our small tech team to make this a reality. It’s a challenging role, working on hard problems, but the chance to work with a top technical team and shape a company and product from an early stage.

NStack is funded by top-tier infrastructure investors from the West Coast, and the founders are both technical and ex-YC / academia. Salaries are competitive and include generous stock options. EU applicants welcome (other visas potentially possible), although roles are onsite only. We’re looking at a range of positions and experience levels - whether you’ve just left uni or been hacking for 20 years, if you’re interested please get in touch. Any questions please comment, reach out via jobs@nstack.com, or http://nstack.com/careers.

Cheers!
There is diversifiable risk and there is non-diversifiable risk. Everyone is subject to non-diversifiable risk, and there's plenty of risk associated with being poor, such as not having enough food to eat.
It's almost as if the government is made up of many departments and people who have different goals and values...
Which in itself isn't an unreasonable position. Complying with the law isn't optional just because it happens to make an otherwise extremely profitable business more difficult or expensive to run.

What we should be doing is going back to first principles and asking what we're trying to achieve with the kinds of restrictions that IP laws impose, and what sorts of trade-offs and incentives are in the best interests of our society overall. Laws that serve those purposes should be kept or introduced as necessary, and everyone should comply with them. Laws that no longer serve those purposes or perhaps never really did should be removed.
I had to make the same decision in June, and I built a Windows desktop instead of using an external GPU.

However, I hope that I won't have to do that again in the future. I'd rather have just one computer for the sake of simplicity. Hopefully external GPUs will become mainstream in a few years.

If rejecting an effort to make an already extremely racist system even more racist somehow counts as an achievement in your opinion. Then there is no point in having a debate.

Why don't you talk about lack of birthright citizenship even to children of permanent residents or that each individual has to be voted on by reidents of that canton to determine eligibility to become citizen.

Switzerland is essentially a white wonderland (World War II implicit support of Nazi and looking the other way while Jews were being persecuted) it gets away from moral scrutiny by pretending about false neutrality and marketing its beautiful mountains.
Attention (see Google papers) seems like a pretty promising way of dealing with countable states. In quantum mechanics, we change the question we are asking. Instead of "which countable eigenstate are we in?", we ask "how much of our current state is in the Nth eigenstate?". We just expand our current state over the basis of interest. The coefficient of the state of interest is a continuous variable. This is what attention does for neural networks.
I wish there was a "target mode" for desktop PCs. Basically a Thunderbolt3 port on the motherboard, which when connected would expose the internal PCI slots over TB3.

I don't know if this is even possible, but if so, it would be a fantastic solution. Keep a monster desktop PC for gaming, then shut it down and connect your MacBook and get a powerful computer for work.
I look at it the other way around.

The assumption that Wordpress means a client can edit their own site has been very wrong, for many users. Unless the site is built in Microsoft Word (and I've seen that done..) they are going to be using a professional for edits, and hence I refer back to static builders.
OK, so what makes you think the next one won't be till 2020? Leap seconds aren't like leap years, they're unpredictable, since the Earth's rotation varies in response to geological events etc. The IERS announces them six months in advance.
They weren't actively against Project M. For the most part, they turned a blind eye to it. It's just in a bit of a legal grey area that makes it the elephant in the room.

It definitely provided insight to the competitive scene, but many people forget just how many people play this game casually - items on, no stage bans. Nintendo tries to cater to both audiences simultaneously, with moderate success in Smash 4. Melee catered to the competitive, Brawl to the casual, and Smash 4 has proven itself the most flexible title in the series. I'd say they're doing well as it is.
The kind of conversation is highly environmental: I'm about 100x as likely to have a serious conversation at a hacker meetup as a random night at the bar.

That doesn't mean there's no small talk at a hacker meetup, but rather, if I'm looking to optimize the number of deep conversations to chitchat, some social settings are better than others.

So avoiding "normal" bar chitchat to attend meet-ups focused on topics with deep potential does lead to more meaningful discussions.

(And hacker meetups are fun in that sometimes, people join on deep conversations and only then feel comfortable moving on to small talk, rather than the usual reverse.)

Your house, your rules - I won't be posting here again.

If you choose to characterize my accurate, unbiased observation of the ignorance of the masses as a 'slur' that's a comment about your bias and/or the nature of the masses.
Sure, but there are a few additional factors. First, $400 is the "lazy price". I had some credit card points to spend so I didn't want to waste too much time looking for deals. But if you wait for rebates, buy used, or get the less powerful non-Ti 1050, you could probably get close to $300. Second, I already had a very powerful CPU in my machine (as well as 16GB of RAM) and I didn't want to downgrade. Third, I move around constantly and prefer to keep my belongings to a bare minimum, so a compact eGPU box was far more compelling than even the smallest gaming PC case.
I would hope rather than CGI, they use some disfiguring accident and makeup.

TB3 is supposed to be fully backwards compatible with TB2; it's just a different physical connector. That's why even Apple only charges $29 for the adapter.

Waiting a year is way too much caution for me. I wouldn't pre-order anything, but once other people post it works I'd feel safe to proceed.

> This is interesting academically, but I wouldn't buy a hacked-together TB2 enclosure.

Huh? The article is about a setup built using an AKiTiO PCIe box. You even mentioned that manufacturer as an alternative. I guess it's not officially "for eGPU use", but that's just a question of power, and a small SMPS brick is fine for that.
I mean, 5 different companies have pleaded guilty to price-fixing in the DRAM market, so I don't think what is suggested here is too controversial.

What it has in common with securities is the opportunity to scam less informed consumers.

The frequency of leading cryptocurrency exchange insolvencies/hacks was far greater three-five years ago than today, and it's been that way for about two years. I don't think it's too early at all to make a judgement based on that. The security practices are also very obviously qualitatively better with widespread use of cold storage. Institutional factors like much larger organisations being vested in the leading exchanges is also an indicator of security.
Spondool Ltd | Dublin, Ireland | 2 Roles Full Time ONSITE

1. Experienced C++ Developer

We're looking for an experienced C++ Developer, who is interested in committing to an interesting long term project. You'll be building a replacement for an existing system that processes millions of transactions a day. We need someone that is consistent, patient and highly organised (mentally speaking). There are excellent opportunities for interesting algorithmic work and given the size of the team, for introducing new technologies and approaches.

2. Backend Developer, API / Data Design

We're also looking for someone with strong data design skills who can build a service layer on top of our core C++ product and create APIs that will allow us to build web interfaces for it.

This will be greenfield, so you can propose the language you'll like to use. Keep in mind our entire platform is Linux only.

-------------------

It's a small team, an interesting product and nice people.

Eh, because he still had to hunt down a kinda sketchy China PSU from Amazon and hope that it could do the rates wattage, spent twice as much on the enclosure as the GPU, etc for a ~3.5x upgrade. I'm guessing that for most people, if they're considering this, the few hundred extra to get as much performance as you can out of it makes sense. Rigging up an ATX PSU isn't too hard, and one could put it all into a SFF desktop case if you care about it looking nice. Apparently TB3 enclosures are coming which also address all of these shortcomings except price.

Your criticism is that there isn't a foul-proof way for the rich to stay rich forever?

Of course there are going to be major hurdles during total war and extreme regime change. That would be obvious to anyone who wasn't being disingenuous or thick-headed, or both.

Those circumstances have nothing to do with this discussion as its not a realistic threat for billionaires of today, especially in America.

The 2007-2010 crisis did not impact the billionaires. They are still billionaires.
Well, I mean, really, the only ecologically sound thing to do is kill yourself.

I'd believe PGP is in wider use today than Fidonet is, but not much wider.

I have to laugh that Snapchat has apparently solved the identity exchange problem and PGP is still stuck with these ridiculously baroque implementations.
> Any house...not renovated..is unmarketable.

Only because there is (i) enough modern housing stock (with safety reg compliance) to provide other options, (ii) knowledge sufficiently available for the public to know the difference, (iii) strict and consistent enforcement to over come the collective action problem.

I would welcome any evidence or analysis showing a free market would create sufficient incentive for home builders and landlords to voluntarily adopt this level/kind of fire or personal safety standards. To me the market would clearly incentive most structures be build at the lowest cost. I would gladly stand correct, I don't have enough knowledge to know what the facts would support.
It's not very hard, if you have money or skills that are in demand. Top countries depend on what you are looking for.
He used an AKiTiO PCIe box that supports Thunderbolt 2. The model I posted is TB3, which Intel and windows both support for eGPUs. It also has a much more powerful power supply and can fit enthusiast-level video cards, rather than relying on the PCIe slot power capped at 75w.

What, exactly, do you think "Social Text" is?

> Social Text is an academic journal published by Duke University Press. Since its inception by an independent editorial collective in 1979, Social Text has addressed a wide range of social and cultural phenomena, covering questions of gender, sexuality, race, and the environment.

It's just a small college journal that basically prides itself on not judging the things it publishes. The fact that you happily call bad scientific journals and conferences "nothing to do with science", but try to pin this random "Social Text" journal as a perfect representative of liberal arts, is funny to me.

> ocially isolated expats come here expecting one long manga/anime/kawaii/samurai adventure that will fix their broken lives

Well I guess I'm somewhat inside that niche, however I would not expect my broken live to be fixed without any effort.
Also before going there, I would probably learn japanese or make holiday there.
Well I'm not good at getting friends and I doubt that neither in japan I would make many. I just love their culture and their food (at least some, katsudon <3 and other dishes).
I also actually are a big fan of buildins and history, which japan has a lot.

I also heard that they have a special work mentality (which you also described). And somehow if my work is good I love it, which makes me like the longer working hours. For me that make's me more happy than actually making friends (I know I'm a wierdo) and somehow I think japan would be a whole new challenge for me. But as already stated I doubt I couldn't be there for more than 6 months to 1 year.
I still love my home besides the fact that I live in a small town in Germany which is nothing compared to the SF area or any japanese town.

Edit: Great comments from a lot of people, Thanks that makes me actually more engaged to make savings to visit Japan at least once in my life.
I really want to use this, but the mobile app (Android) really lacks very basic functionality - uploading files.

> You can plug a TB3 device into a TB2 laptop with a simple adapter. Apple sells theirs for $29; Chinese versions will be cheaper.

Apple's adapter has turned out not to work on Linux. It might not work with BootCamp either. Seems to require a special driver:

You must be new to the startup "scene". ;)
Yes, but that's a specific physical stressor, resulting in mental stress. It's not what is being examined in the article and modeled in the experiment.
Yeah when it comes to what the NSA may have, maybe no private key is uncrackable. But sending things on paper, even if you use a cypher like the Masons, multiple people have to know it for it to work, so its like having a private key that is used by multiple people, also any cypher on paper would be trivial for the NSA or other foreign NSA equivalents to crack, even easier than a private key.
My mom always said "If something is worth doing, then do it today". That in the context of New Years Resolutions - which she thought are stupid. So while granted that we may pay more personal attention to desired changes at the end of the year, those are things to be mindful of all year.
You'd be right, but oddly when they did they layout the staff areas were the ones with the sea view, the CEO just looked at another building across the road.
OK, fair enough, and there are analogous safe harbour schemes in other jurisdictions as well. However, realistically those schemes were only introduced because otherwise the entire business model for these sites would be infringing.

Even with those safe harbour provisions, just because the hosting services have successfully covered themselves, it doesn't make it any more legal for their users to upload copyright-protected material to them without the consent of the copyright holder. For the services where the user doesn't actively upload the material but instead directs the site to find it somewhere else on the Web and has the service fetch it themselves, I wonder whether even the safe harbour laws are entirely clear in some places.

In any case, I have significant reservations about the broad brush safe harbour protections afforded by some of these laws. It seems to me that they are still very much enabling large, very profitable businesses to circumvent the normal rules even to the point of knowingly running services whose main or only purpose is to facilitate actions that are most likely illegal, with just enough of a nudge and a wink to avoid any legal responsibility for doing so.
I've put a lot of thought and research into this already, and you basically summarized my thoughts on the matter. Building a gaming desktop is a better answer today.

But in a year, when you can buy a commodity Chinese-made TB3 enclosure for $200 that-- with a SINGLE CABLE-- powers your laptop, offers a bunch of extra USB3 ports, ethernet, audio jacks, and can also take a high-end GPU for gaming, well, that's a much more attractive proposition.
