Except that you wouldn't get much legal protection if someone runs off with your bitcoin. A bitcoin transaction is irreversible and unfreezable, so there is not a lot the bank or legal system can do to try and retrieve stolen funds. And there is less of a trace to who the thief is.

As a result you probably aren't going to get the government failure guarantees on bitcoin as you would for fiat. Let alone governments wont want you using a different currency that they can't print.

That's fine, but that doesn't justify doing it silently - if you're going to claim the right to detect, intercept and modify you should have no problems with being completely transparent about doing so.
Unremarkable technology described in the most confusing way possible, designed to further a reprehensible political ideology.
I will try do do this, though I remain sceptical that this will lead to anything. Not supporting external graphics APIs and Apple effectively controlling the drivers seems to be more of a business decision to me than a decision from a tech / dev relations team. Unless someone high up at Apple takes a call that supporting something like Vulkan / OpenGL is the path forward I doubt that this can be solved in a bottom up manner.
even GPL has not really been tested in court (VMware case doesn't count yet), so the odds of CC0 being tested is low. however, there are (at least) two good reasons for using CC0 anyways:

1. there is arguably a chilling effect if you make up your own license. I don't know how much that applies in this case, but look at how json is being removed from Debian and has been banned from Fedora for the undefinable phrasing in its license. this leads me to

2. just because it has not been tested doesn't mean it isn't a good idea; I am not aware of anyone who has been killed by a PC falling on their head, but if I were to attempt mounting a PC on my ceiling, I would seek help rather than cobbling something I just made up. even better, if there are plans on the internet that tens of engineers have verified to be reasonable, I should use those instead of complaining that they are too "fashionable".
While I agree with you, I doubt some random webkit engineer has any power saying what to support.

Apple never listens to anyone, probably some higher exec wants better lock in and that they design the standards. Everyone else keep their mouths shut.
??? You're getting downvotes because your comment was apropos of nothing. I was just correcting analyticbastard's conception of UBI, I wasn't stating support for anything.

TextArc – an alternate way to view a text
This happened to me about a year and a half ago, luckily I only lost a couple bitcoins that I had in coinbase, it could have been a lot worse.

The major crux of this article is the paragraph where it talks about how regulations essentially allow phone carriers to do whatever they want, with no guarantees of security, no indemnity, and if anything goes wrong there's no repercussions whatsoever.

There is literally nothing you can do to prevent this, any kind of "flags" or "extra security" you request are entirely enforced at the whim of individual call center personnel, and it only takes one person to ignore them. My case was similar to the article, I had some basic security flags enabled on the account but they were buried in notes from calls years ago and obviously no CS rep is going to read through years of notes on every call.

In my case the attackers called Sprint customer service over 100 times over a 5 day span. On the day I was breached they called 12 times within 3 hours before a weak link allowed them to transfer my number. No alerts to myself or the account holder, no notifications, nothing. The first rep I called after this occurred gave me great detail into the calls and what they had asked, apparently some of the numbers even came from different European countries. I immediately tried to escalate to their fraud department and was stonewalled hard. The fraud people denied any pattern of calling into their support lines, denied any transfer of my number (even though reps later happily helped transfer it back from Google Voice), and denied any action on the part of Sprint that caused this to happen.

Lawyers essentially told me I was out of luck, there was no recourse unless I was willing to go to war in the courtroom and unfortunately I don't have _that_ many old BTC.

It is absurd that such telecommunications backbones have such lax policies, much less no repercussions when they screw up. This will continue to be an attack vector until we force some sort of regulation that requires extraordinary damages to be paid per case... something tells me even low fines and slaps on the wrist won't incentivize the telecoms to provide actual customer service.
That's a good point, if you're going to set up the camps, you also better have a plan to liberate the country so the people can eventually return.
Please, no. I work with both IBM and Nvidia and I can say such an acquisition would be a cultural mismatch that would make Daimler/Chrysler look like a boardroom tea party.

IBM is hollowed out and tries to cover that up with headline-making acquisitions and effective marketing. It's aimless and sclerotic, trying to pursue growth markets but is largely incapable of making good products; constantly over-promising and under-delivering.

NVidia has it's best days ahead of it. I think the direction it's going with ARM has more legs than what they're doing with POWER. They make innovative products that work, and have fantastic partnerships across the industry.

Perhaps more importantly, the target markets of these two companies are diverging, not converging. IBM is desperately trying to move up the value chain, away from hardware, to remain competitive. You could hardly say the same about Nvidia in how it's pursuing the automotive industry.
The only way to protect it is to not have it on a computer that is connected to the internet. There are schemes involving throwing dice to generate a key, writing it on paper, using a python script or suchlike to generate an address from the dice throws etc. Something like that would be pretty secure, as long as no one breaks in to your house to get the key (or you can remember it).

Yeah, this is basically what I came to say. Haskell's search volume could be because it's more difficult to use than other languages, or is more poorly documented. It would certainly explain Sharepoint being so high during the work week, having struggled with Sharepoint Configuration Mountain before.
How does urbit, the technology, further a reprehensible political ideology? I assume you mean Moldbug's ideology, which I agree is reprehensible, but how does urbit further it?
An interesting idea confounded by inexplicably strange design choices, and the regressive, odious politics of its creator.

Would love to see a similar idea done by a different team.
MS might have abandoned OpenGL, but you can use the latest OpenGL version on Windows if you have an NVIDIA/AMD/Intel GPU and driver, unlike on macOS (4.1 on macOS vs 4.5 on Windows)
Sure, there's Lambda but if you need EC2 then you do need to worry about the OS. And while you do not need to worry about the hardware breaking down, that's the same when you are renting a physical or a virtual server because you need to build a redundant infra anyways and whether the fallen node comes back in an hour or you can spin it up yourself is of little consequence. And you still need to understand your hardware if you want performance.
They divested their x86 systems business (thinkpads & servers) but still have a power servers division.
It has nothing to do with wind. 358kts indicated at 30,000ft translates to about 670kts true airspeed, for example. It's purely a result of how airplanes measure speed.

Why are they so hostile to Vulkan and what problems does Vulkan, which is vendor independent and open, have that adding a new API to support to the pile would not?
W3C GpuWeb charter issue 1: Opaque political language is a major red flag for me
I can't tell, I know many developers today who are on the new shiny js thing, golang, elixir, scalar, rust train, but they never got really good in their first language be it Java, python, or php.

They use linux or OSX. But they don't know awk/sed/bash, give em a very simple problem, they would write 1000 line of OOP, united test code when a few line of scripts would solve it.

I know many programmers, who graduated with a CS degree, they go out of their way to implement ridiculous rule engines and overly complicated systems, when they can just use prolog and glue their app to prolog.

I've witnessed many so called fullstack developers who break out in cold sweat at the sight or thought of writing SQL. They want an ORM.

This is what I call chasing, new things, when the old things are rock solid. I see this today, where people cry about PHP, but yet don't even use it's good features. Go use NoSQL solutions but never even had a clue about their SQL DB.

e-ink displays look to your eyes basically like paper. I absolutely love my Kindle for reading books.

For papers though, not so much. The screen is too small for a layout format like PDF to work. The document has to be able to reflow for the screen like a proper e-book to work really well, and PDFs don't. I've heard the Kindle DX was great but those haven't been made in a while, otherwise there's a few big ones Sony made which are apparently awesome but expensive.

Is that choice of "bricked" deliberate? When I see "bricked", I assume irreparable and all contents unrecoverable -- does such a failure go beyond the Atom and destroy data as well?

Because unlike OSX it is possible for end users to upgrade the supported graphics API without the OS vendor having a say. Its the exact reason why games on Windows have such a vibrant ecosystem.

This would seem like the perfect opportunity to get it done, then! (And I know a lot of folks agree; there's at least one high-profile attempt going on as well as an awful lot of hush-hush union organizing going on that I'm aware of.)

Yes, UNHCR is short on money.

UNHCR also funds alternatives to refugee camps, and could spend much more money on integration, schools, healthcare in those sites.

The syrian refugees probably have a much higher chance of joining the economy in any country in the Middle East compared to Sweden, since the outlook for them is very bleak getting a job in one of the most demanding and competitive job markets in the world.

The drivers to get to northern Europe is more likely the social welfare systems, free healthcare, and free education for children, rather than jobs.
Well, Windcrest is a subset of San Antonio, Texas. Which happens to be where the Castle (corp HQ) is located.
If the government wants to fund drug development, it can fund it directly by buying research studies and proposals for studies rather than drugs from the drug companies. Something needs to be done to remove the incentives to falsify or exaggerate results and endlessly pursue me-too drugs.
Indeed, there are not enough incentives for pharma companies to target third world or not-so-common disease, but instead to push things like Viagra. That's one of the things Gates Foundation is helping address but ideally we do it at the government level. Research through grants to universities and labs already fuels a lot of great R&D in the US and I feel like we need to have even more of it for medicine.
Email, document sharing, custom web apps, etc, does urbit do this?

I haven't played in awhile; what sorts of new bugs and design problems have cropped up?

I used to read the blog posts regularly, but I don't really care about the art-and-history simulator, or the single-player mode, so I stopped keeping up with it.
Which bits of Urbit do you see as designed to further reprehensible ideology? I'm well aware of Moldbug's political views, which you're free to call reprehensible if you want, but if there's a clear link from Urbit to those views then it's lost on me. If you're going to throw out accusations like that, you ought to justify them at least a little.

I agree that it is described confusingly. I don't understand it well enough to know one way or the other whether it's remarkable.

Edit: pretty much beaten to it by mayneack.
This is probably our best general overview:

How President Trump Could Seize More Power After a Terrorist Attack
It's not clear that there's a ton of benefit, and not everyone agrees with me that StrBuf is a good name.
Intel has only released beta/test drivers for Windows, and this was their statement as of August:

The current Plan Of Record is that Intel® is not supporting Vulkan on Windows drivers. The drivers that were made available on Developer.com are intended for Vulkan developers.

So, it is expected that some Vulkan drivers may not work for end users.

Intel GPUs power at least 50% of Windows PCs, and I'd guess the number is closer to 70%. Unless this situation changes, Vulkan is not the single cross-platform answer.
Uh, AWS is absolutely known for being cheap. I'm in the hosting business as well and our AWS offerings are a fraction of the cost of other solutions, especially when you consider what you get.
NVIDIA and Intel both ship Vulkan drivers for Windows.
Consumer Webcams finally begin to break 1080p 30fps barrier
Not well, yet. But that's the plan. All in the blog post.
Because combining low-level performance and high-level abstraction in the same language comes at the cost of a heavy cognitive burden.
Intel has no stated intention of releasing production-quality Vulkan drivers for Windows. Forum statement from August:

The current Plan Of Record is that Intel® is not supporting Vulkan on Windows drivers. The drivers that were made available on Developer.com are intended for Vulkan developers.

So, it is expected that some Vulkan drivers may not work for end users.
The entire purpose of the voting system is to determine if its useful or not. Might as well just do it: if its desired it'll be voted up, if not it'll fade into irrelevance.
not sure it's legit for airbus to be declaring a win for their automation. sounds like the copilot dogpaddled back to the cockpit through freefall and batted at his controls from the ceiling until the computer got confused and resumed level flight.

If any safety technology deserves credit here it's seatbelts. From the sound of it, nobody who was belted in was injured.
Everyone here (including me) is upset that Apple are refusing to support Vulkan (or even improve their existing OpenGL support).

They haven't even made a public statement.

And now we get the news that they are working on another API. It doesn't really matter that the new API is targeting a completely different market to Vulkan. It doesn't really matter that a WebVulkan can't really exist in the first place. It doesn't matter if this is probally the correct starting point for a NextGen web graphics API.

It doesn't even matter that the team at apple proposing this API is not the same team that would be responsible implementing Vulkan in OSX.

People just want Vulkan on MacOS and/or IOS.
I want to add one more thing to my post. Don't be afraid to follow your distractions. Everyone has experienced how stepping away from a problem for a bit can be a tremendous aid in acquiring insights. We ADHD folks do this constantly. This sort of thing can turn our distractions into assets. A absolute necessity, however, is capturing what you have done before following a distraction.
Libertarians are fine with voluntary collectives, many libertarians are collectivists, aka left libertarians like Noam Chomsky. Being libertarian doesn't mean being fiscally conservative and socially liberal, it can also mean being fiscally liberal and socially conservative, or both fiscally conservative and socially conservative or liberal. Libertarians are anti-authoritarian, they want everything to be voluntary, i.e. live and let live. You can be a total liberal or conservative and as long as you don't want your views forced onto anyone else, i.e. not made law, you're libertarian.

The way presidential campaigns are funded for example, by voluntarily checking a box on your tax form is perfectly libertarian.
I'm wondering if/when will signs of something like the Butlerian Jihad https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butlerian_Jihad show.

In Frank Herbert's Dune books, the objection of humanity against "thinking machines" was not that the machines took jobs, but that intelligent machines shaped humanity too much. And signs of that can certainly be seen today. Business models and customer experiences are built around solutions that are easy to implement with computers. As AI gets used more, and AI will do the jobs of humans, human experiences will be shaped by AI. There will be a point where lawmakers will declare on certain things "no you can't do that with computers, you have to do it yourself".

My guess is that new laws will be made against specific uses of computers and AI. And that the issue of jobs will be regulated in those laws.

For example this recent law looks like something fitting in that category: http://ew.com/article/2016/12/16/obama-law-ticket-bots/
You were the one saying there were no rituals, I just mentioned two because it's been a while since I've had to argue this stuff. By the way, praying is also a ritual, as is Saving the sabbath (still performed by some christian denominations). And baptism being jewish (and not only jewish but practiced by many other faiths at the time) just proves further my point of unoriginality. And when there is a whole branch of christianity founded on the baptism ritual, the Baptists, I say you are the one cherrypicking the parts of the bible you want to ignore to fit your narrative.

> Ok, you have 'baptism' as one ritual in 500 pages, which by the way, is originally a Jewish thing anyhow.

> Ironically, both examples you gave: 'Baptism' and 'Wine and Bread' - are not based on some 'borrowed ideas' - they are effectively original in their own context.

This is the main problem. You contradict yourself on every point.
And this is why they tell you to always keep your seat belt fastened when seated, even when the seat belt light is turned off. You never know when a sudden maneuver or severe turbulence might hit.

Yeah, making her ideas systematic are definitely a sticking point. In so much as she suggests anything, the more prominent idea to me was the influential neighborhood association. That wasn't so much a policy as a recommendation to have a standing public opinion "army", if you will.

I'm not sure that there is a way to put a system in place to save us from ourselves if we fail to be well informed, but the book definitely points out a lot of ways you can notice things going wrong. Jacobs also does a great job of explaining the mechanism of the many traps that we plan ourselves into.

My favorite non-profit, Strong Towns, also frequently mentions how difficult it is to give a formulaic solution to these problems. Furthermore, as the founder likes to put it, what we're often asking for are "ways other people can change what they do so I don't have to change what I'm doing." Until I can figure out a better way to make change, I'm at least determined to be informed and well-versed enough in the lingo so that urban planners can't make their dumb ideas look good in conversation with me just by dressing the ideas up in jargon.
Coinbase unilaterally decided to hold my coins hostage until I submitted a bunch of ID papers to them. This is for coins already in my wallet, not about buying more or selling them and getting cash to my bank account.
An importing part of the Australian system, is that for people and families earning over a certain threshold ($80k for singles, $160k I believe for families) you have the option to either

* pay for private health insurance, or

* pay an additional 2% surcharge/tax on your income

This is to encourage people who can afford it to purchase private health insurance, to lessen the load on the publicly funded system where possible.

That's a positive thing, but the whole effort looks like an indirect attempt to push Metal, without making it open itself. What about shader tools and etc.? Are there any open ones for Metal? IMHO if anything like that should be created, it should be based on open APIs.

>Anyone that holds personal data needs to acquire a license to do so from Datatilsynet

That sounds ridiculous. Are YCombinator executives at risk of being fined/jailed in Norway since they presumably did not get a license for the Hacker News users table?

Would a Norwegian teenager land in legal trouble for running an unlicensed phpBB forum? Do SaaS programmers need code review from the government on their pull requests? When Amazon or Netflix trains a new recommendations model?
> The FSF has a different definition of "free software". They don't want you to get software for free, and then modify it, turn around and restrict it's distribution for other people.

They don't want you to do that, but their definition of "free software" doesn't exclude licenses that allow it.
I was kinda surprised that Go (golang) wasn't up in the list
