It's not money laundering to rearrange your payment structure to avoid currency conversions. If half your customers pay you in Yen and half your customers pay you in dollars, it's not a crime to use the Yen directly to pay your Japanese expenses.

Same goes with bitcoin - if you can find a server company that accepts your bitcoin - you're under no obligation to only buy things using dollars, assuming you are properly reporting your transactions.

How can I find a citation for a my own statement that I believe something?

Are you under the impression that the comments section of HN is a scholarly journal where all claims are documented? I notice that you don't ask for citations for any of the claims in this thread that you agree with, so your demands for citations are really just an obnoxious lack of argument.
Except it's not true. Obscurity still has cost to decipher, and the cost may be the ends you're looking for. Not all security-oriented goals are make-or-break.

Hell, if you're talking about a time scale of hours (not uncommon with 0-days) even using a trivial cypher could slow people (attempting to understand (and then fix) your vulnerability) down for long enough to "get away" with the data/transfer/rootkit/whatever.

Obfuscation has its role; it's to retard understanding, not to prevent understanding.

It's apparently unusable. But the DRM comment made me question using TurboTax at all even on a Windows machine.
I agree that this can be useful for this use-case. Right now I'm bulking so it's more important for me to have a general "good estimate" of my calories and macros over a week, rather than a hyper-refined daily view, where I need a granularity of 100 calories or I haven't lost weight that day.

For my situation, it's more about "damn, I ate 1000 calories over last week, oh wow lol it's because I got super stoned on friday and ate half a pizza, ok, so next week eat 2 eggs instead of 3 for breakfast to make up for it." This app definitely wouldn't work for a cut, though, because I need my measuring cups and spoons to do that right.

Let's say you think stress causes ulcers. The NIH runs some studies that seem to correlate the two. So you put out a new health policy advising people to take steps to lower stress to combat ulcers. Doctors begin following the policy. Maybe they even prescribe anti-anxiety meds for ulcers.

Suddenly there's a new study result at the NIH that shows a link between ulcers and H. pylori. Maybe doctors and drug companies don't like this. Maybe there's even a Department of Ulcer Stress Management that doesn't like it. But the scientist is going on all the shows; this thing has traction.

(1)
You're skeptical about these results because you're hearing griping from Big Ulcer. In this situation, the reasonable thing would be to run more studies. You're human: your bias may be that this H. pylori link is wrong; it seems crazy. You may hope new studies confirm your beliefs. But they don't. Your new reality becomes: H. pylori causes ulcers. The Department of Ulcer Stress Management will have to be dissolved or changed to be the Department of Bacterial Ulcer Management.

- or -

(2)
You're skeptical about these results because you're hearing griping from Big Ulcer. You're human: your bias may be that this H. pylori link is wrong; it seems crazy. So you discredit the H. pylori study, and call it a conspiracy theory. You defund the department that ran it, preventing scientists there from further investigating the suggestive result. You ban the scientist from public speaking. You delete web pages that talk about the study, and delete the data that went into it. You place a gag order on the entire NIH, slash its budget, and install as its director the CEO of the company that makes the $10B StressAway ulcer medication.

So the "extra studies" in option one could be seen as noise, but that's not a problem if it's within the framework of science: part of science is teasing results from noise. An extraordinary claim like "bacteria cause ulcers" would need extraordinary evidence, which comes in the form of more noisy studies aimed at the null hypothesis. But the claim is ultimately validated and accepted.

It's even worse, though, because many of the GOP ideas about policy are not science-based to begin with.
Methinks it's the other way around, but whatever.

This x1000. Policy-wise, I disagree with Pence on just about everything, but I would take him in a heartbeat over Trump. Pence actually has experience governing and seems to be capable of compromise and handling criticism (see: the Hamilton incident).

Trump on the other hand is a total wild card. He's just as likely to blow up and cause all kinds of unintended consequences as he is to actually accomplish the goals he claims to be aiming for.

The biggest challenge of removing GIL is to do it without breaking existing code.

There's work on that. Here's a technical talk about why is it difficult[1].

I used Jira and I can say without a doubt that Trello created a cheaper, simpler and smaller version of Jira.
Poverty is a problem, obviously, but inequality is a problem in itself.

* inequality subverts the democratic process

* inequality subverts the rule of law

* I'd argue it even threatens human dignity

* in economics, my utility function typically only takes my well-being/wealth/consumption/circumstances into consideration, not my neighbour's. That's a simplification, so that one can do economics. It's pragmatic and expedient - it is certainly neither descriptive nor normative. Although there is a tendency in libertarian/"economism" circles (google James Kwak "economism" if you don't know what it means) and even others (skeptic Michael Shermer, for example) to consider it the rational thing to do.

I don't see why. Yes, if I get 10$ more, and all my neighbours get $10000 more, I will be cranky and unsatisfied, utility function bla bla my ass.

Inequality also depresses human happiness.

TL;DR: excessive inequality jeopardizes democracy, the rule of law, human dignity, peace, and happiness.

I would argue that the key isn't knowing how to do the job but instead trusting the doers not to be misleading.

If the manager is technical and you raise a legitimate concern they know and understand the concern. If the manager isn't and doesn't trust the doers they will assume they are trying to get away with something or are lazy.

Honestly, I have a hunch most of this distinction comes down to trust between both parties.

I've had managers that were highly technical and it's a great experience to be able to learn technical skills from your manager. I've also had managers that were not technical with respect to the technology used on the project (i.e. couldn't do what the doers were doing) but they understood this, trusted us to get the job done, and it worked out. Both were very pleasant experiences.

Now, I've had non-technical AND non-trusting managers before and it was a miserable experience.
Trello will never hold a candle to Jira for users with complex needs. Trello is deliberately simple while Jira is deliberately complex. Also the screenshots comparing a Sprint board to a Kanban board is like comparing apples and oranges.

No. The ACF's only problem is insufficient funding -> insufficient production.
No, of course not. It's like a vending machine. You hit the buttons, insert the money, and hope that something comes out of it.
So add a signal handler that just enters an endless loop. That's what systemd does, so as not to panic the kernel on a crash.

By the way, systemd doesn't listen to dbus (it uses the dbus protocol for IPC) and does not link to a QR generation library (journalctl does, which is your usual unprivileged program).
I get where you're going with this ("fully versed" nurse + AI = doctor) but there were also surgeons and anesthesiologists involved. Some specialties will remain but general practitioners and family doctors may be replaced with some combination of software and less expensive staff.

Hmm. Seems like all traffic goes through a central proxy server.

Shouldn't it be possible to use the central server only for hole-punching and implement a TCP-over-UDP connection so that the clients can directly communicate with each other? (And don't the major browser vendors already have public NAT-hole-punchers for WebRTC?)
Why would growth be bounded depending on the cause of that growth? Genuine question, not trying to be snarky.

50 years might be an unrealistic timeframe for China, but then again who knows? Putting aside my personal view that they're going to either stagnate or go backwards within the next decade, it doesn't seem impossible. Although they're obviously much much smaller, Singapore is an example of a country that went from abject poverty to one of the richest in the world in less than a generation.

Again, very different country compared to China, but they were also pretty much at rock-bottom even a decade after WWII ended. They were bombed, invaded and occupied by the Japanese in WWII, which meant they were heavily air-raided/bombed by the Allies in the later stages of the war. They had no natural resources, scarce water supplies and were kicked out of the Malaysian Federation in the early 60s. Even Lee Kwan Yew, at the time, appeared to think the latter was a death sentence: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=41ND3U_9HgQ .

I dunno. I guess all I'm saying is miracles can happen (although I personally think it unlikely in China's case).
I have. Here is an 2012 article describing a presentation at Blackhat.

Then why not just rephrase the problem, so the "low performers" can simply be removed from the education system entirely? That's what you're proposing when you tell someone gifted they can't have education that _actually educates_ them.
Much of the economic history of economic exploitation has been "take what you can" rather than free exchange.

It leads to the liquidation of a valuable long-term resource for a quick short-term gain. A fishery that would be worth many billions over centuries is liquidated for millions in a few years, for example.

This is especially true in the US, where so many plants and animals did not live within a system of property. The American bison was saved only because one or two landowner had a sentimental attachment to a local herd and spared them from the carnage. The passenger pigeon was exterminated for cheap meat with industrial hunting methods. Markets create positive sum games, but this was just destruction.

The opportunity cost of billions of American chestnuts producing valuable nuts and timber over the last century is incalculable.
Neat.

I use the following incantation when authorizing folks to ssh into my servers via github public keys:

curl https://github.com/[github name].keys >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys

[github name] here should be replaced with github username of your friend or colleague. Really handy because I can just authorize them without a human request/response loop and manual key moving. Simple and no external tools needed. Normal caveats about authorizing people apply.
> It is arguably the most important discovery in human history.

Maybe, but I've yet to see even a remotely plausible argument for that position. I mean anything can be argued, but that doesn't mean there is a good argument for it, and in the case of Columbus "discovery", I don't see any reasonable standard on which it reaches anywhere near the importance of, say, agriculture. Or zero. Or lots of others.
Sure! So here's the most common use case

Employee A notices that there's a broken piece of equipment and wants to submit a work request. This is typically someone who is not involved in the day to day maintenance of the facility. Instead this is normally a employee, cashier, executive, marketing, operator, etc.

For companies that have a lot of employees, we provide them with a dedicated URL, what we call their "Company Request Portal", to submit work requests. So, like you said, they don't need to create an UpKeep account for every single user which would be super prohibitive. Instead they take this link and either embed that web-page in their company website, or have that link saved somewhere all employees know where they can submit a work request.

Regardless of whether the request was made via the "portal" or through the application, the tickets get funneled into UpKeep. It sends a notification to the "Admin" of the group which then has the option to "Approve" or "Reject" the request. When they approve it, they are typically assigning the work order to one of the their maintenance technicians. When the maintenance technician updates a work order, both the admin and the requester are notified about the new status of the request :)

Is this a re-packaged v7 [0] (it's from Cesanta as well)? mjs.c is 477K. It looks like it as v7.c is 475K [1]. It shaves whole entire 1MB from my staticly linked builds (v7 1.9MB vs. mjs 998K), and almost 2MB from dynamically linked builds (v7 1.9MB vs. mjs 99K) on amd64. If it shares the same underlying architecture and api [2] then this is a pretty great achievement.

In their docs, they claim 25K storage and 10K RAM. Blog post claims 25K storage and 1K RAM.

In Australia, the ratio of officers to sailors on ships has changed from:

1960s - DDG ‐ a ratio of 1 officer to 15.65 crew

1980s - FFG ‐ a ratio of 1 officer to 7.5 crew

modern - Armidale - a ratio of 1 officer to 2.5 crew

I've heard that other nation's services are seeing commensurate changes.

Personally, while I like doing solo technical projects at home in my free time, I really have little interest in spending my socializing time with more techies. I get enough of that at work. One thing I've been sick of for a long time was a lack of diversity in my social circle, which is a big problem in tech because there's almost no women there, it's a big sausagefest and in many workplaces has a frat-house feel to it. I really don't want more of that. So these days, I look for social opportunities with a lot more diversity. There's a lot of great groups on Meetup.com (outside the tech-focused ones) where the participants are far more diverse, and I mean that in every way: not only in gender, but also ethnically, age, career background, national origin, etc. Personally I like the outdoor activity groups. This also helps me be more physically active, something else that's wrong with this career field where we sit in a chair all day long in front of a monitor at arm's length.

I'm not suggesting that this is the most impactful charity thing anyone's ever done --- this is marginal stuff, to be sure --- but the trope where we try to unwind any charitable impulse anyone has to some insidious subtextual personal interest is always tiresome and virtually never very insightful.

It's particularly dumb in this case.
Here are my suggestions:

1. Work on your project most days. It doesn't need to be long - 15-30 minutes. This is mentally doable most days, and you'll find days that you just work. After a while, this becomes part of your daily routine and it gets easier. It might be even easier if you do right after something else you do every day - yup, make it a habit.

2. Have a variety of tasks to choose from when you can. This helps with the motivation as well.

3. Be able to congratulate yourself for getting chunks done - or something similar. Whatever works for you.
That's interesting, and I didn't know it before (reference?), so thank you! But my point was to use an apolitical example to illustrate the flaw in logic. Whether or not the same organization was mismanaged is irrelevant to that point. In fact, that they "moved on" to other things is evidence to my point that you cannot infer a polio-cure organization actively excludes other illnesses in a general "what are important problems to solve" sense.
I think the term is "functionally extinct". The blight doesn't affect them until they're 20-30 years old. There's a very good chance they'll die. I don't think they've found a blight-resistant strain yet, just isolated trees, which always eventually get blighted.
Read your prep article. While interesting and pretty exhaustive, I have some pointers for improvement:

* needs shortening (it's too long-winded)

* a note that it mainly applies to the US when it comes to economy/lack of social safety net; e.g. you mention that governments won't help you in case of a financial crisis and big increase in unemployment, but you also point out this happened recently in Greece and Spain - obviously all those people weren't preppers, yet they are still surviving

* for several of the natural disasters you mention (e.g. Katrina and the European heat wave), most fatalities were old and sick people, which you can't really prep against (being old)

* the Fukushima mention is weird - at least 100x, maybe 1000x more people died from the earthquake and tsunami than from the nuclear accident, even when you take into account future cancer deaths

* needs more discussion of how to prepare for/handle situations when no water, toilets and toilet paper are available - how to build a latrine outdoors, how to conserve limited toilet paper supply, the hygienic setup and use of slop buckets indoors, and how to manage without toilet paper, water and soap

* no mention of learning how to conserve food and keeping jars and salt/sugar/vinegar/etc around for this purpose

* no mention of stockpiling diaper rash cream (can be vital when you can't shower for weeks), Vaseline, and blister bandages as well as womens' stocking socks (for avoiding blisters on long hikes)

* no mention of getting a high-durability water filtration system (like the Sawyer water bottle, 3.7 million liters durability of cleaning bacteria and parasites from river water)

* AM/FM radio should be crank powered
On the other hand, you look at what ARM is doing to x86.

The problem Mozilla has is that their hardware is not going to be any better/cheaper than somebody else's because it is somebody else's, and they can't undercut Android on price because Android is free.

What might have been an interesting strategy is to create a Firefox-branded version of Android that ships Mozilla equivalents to the Google apps.

While I've always loved this anecdote, and it may be true, I seem to recall some flaws being found in this particular study.

Will there be any support or thought given to helping older games along somehow?

I've been spending some time lately making control layouts for old games (and using it as an excuse to replay the original Deus Ex), and while the configurator works really well, it still has some issues around getting users up-to-speed with their selected layouts (letting the profile adjust the "controller HUD" popups would probably go a long way towards this).

Take a bucket with 50% black marbles and 50% white marbles. Give each employee a paddle that has 25 holes arranged so they can dip the paddle into the bucket and withdraw 25 random marbles. Each time they withdraw the paddle, count the marbles and add the number of black marbles to the persons score.

After a while do a "performance review". Give a raise to the person with the highest number of black marbles. Fire the person with the least number of black marbles.

The point is rather obvious and I won't insult you with an analysis.

Managers who depend on performance reviews are simply unqualified to manage.
Why would people want to immigrate to a country where they can't find work? The answer is that they can find work.

Why can they find work if unemployment is high? I see a few possible answers: 1. Unemployment isn't actually high, 2. Employers are illegally paying immigrants below minimum wage knowing they have no legal recourse, or 3. They are taking jobs that those here are unwilling to take.

How does a crackdown on illegal immigration speak to any of this?
