Cool. I appreciate the frankness.

How was the journey getting to this point in your life?

I don't know if you have a reference for a neurotypical + neurotypical relationship, but if any, what accommodations have you had to make? For example: the way introverts have to make time for themselves and for their partner to understand and respect that.
> Quitting doesn't mean losing your house. You are being silly.

Excuse me? I spent the first 4 years of my working life doing debt negotiation with banks and other creditors on behalf of people on the verge of bankruptcy. It was my responsibility to negotiated and broker payment arrangements, debt consolidation, and financial plans for probably thousands of people over those years so I've got a pretty bloody good idea of what I'm talking about here.

Suddenly losing all of your income can 100% result in losing your house. To assume otherwise just shows how little you know outside of your own little white collar bubble.

An EULA ("End-User License Agreeement") has to do primarily with copyright (17 USC [1]). As such it's pretty much orthogonal to the criminal statutes related to this act of "misusing" cryptocoins.

> next generation of cryptocurrencies can have a simple EULA

This is anathema to the nature of cryptocurrencies, all (?pretty sure all that matter anyways) of which have Open Source implementations.

Really, most cryptocoins which are worth anything have already had a big market cap "bounty" that has effectively proven their safety.

We don't need a EULA. Like I said, you could maaaybe sue for damages. Unfortunately there's no easy way to undo the impact to a coin's reputation once it's shown to have a weakness like this. Even once the bug's patched and the nodes all get back on board, exchange rates will suffer for a long time.

Another creator here. We have no specific use cases, but the ideas floating around my head: 1) Leaking controversial conversations, whistleblowing, or simply sharing interesting emails. 2) Being one of the fastest ways to publish, could be a new blogging platform, especially for the older generation who is more comfortable with email. 3) Transparency for businesses/government through public archiving.

I would love to hear other ideas.

I posted this summary, instead of the actual article, because the original is quite wordy, and a summary seemed more useful for an initial read.

Here's the article, fwiw:

I love the way all reporting of stocks has to show the stock either 'surging', 'soaring' or 'tumbling', 'crashing'. An IPO priced at $24.00 that sells three days later at $23.77 has not tumbled. Sure, it was relatively volatile in the first few days but that is common on high profile IPO's until the price settles to a market determined level.

EDIT: No doubt if it rises to $25.00 tomorrow it will have 'rebounded' and be worth another hyped headline.
So what would be the Nash equilibrium in this instance?
In an IPO, the underwriters are the investment banks who handle the initial distribution of the stock. From Wikipedia:

"Securities underwriting refers to the process by which investment banks raise investment capital from investors on behalf of corporations and governments that are issuing securities (both equity and debt capital). The services of an underwriter are typically used during a public offering in a primary market.

This is a way of distributing a newly issued security, such as stocks or bonds, to investors. A syndicate of banks (the lead managers) underwrites the transaction, which means they have taken on the risk of distributing the securities. Should they not be able to find enough investors, they will have to hold some securities themselves. Underwriters make their income from the price difference (the "underwriting spread") between the price they pay the issuer and what they collect from investors or from broker-dealers who buy portions of the offering."[1]

When the comment above said "underwriters aren't allowed to hype their own handicraft", the "handicraft" he's referring to is the new stock that they just distributed, and hyping it generally takes the form of the banks' analysts issuing "buy" recommendations.

while we're talking about the orthagonality of people's comments, I have one to contribute!

This is the second of your posts I've read in an hour with a b^) (checking your history shows at least one more) and now I'm curious. I've never seen that face before. The first time, I assumed it was a carelessly-executed B^) "2cool4you sunglasses wearer grinning sarcastically," but I guess it's not. My best guess is that it's winking - but winking is usually light-hearted and seems odd paired with the ^) nose/mouth that I associate with black comedy/sarcasm.

If ^) is light-hearted to you, I'd guess "quirky, almost flirtatious wink and grin." If it's not, I'd guess "smirking, exaggerated and heavily ironic wink." For people I know well, I could probably tell which one they meant; for strangers on the internet, less so. Is either interpretation close to the mark?
In both bash and zsh, you can force the shell to use $PATH for lookup (bypassing functions and shell builtins) by calling a builtin name with 'command' ('command time -l ls'). You can equivalently force a builtin with 'builtin', but that does not work with reserved words (and 'time' is a shell reserved word).

Comparing revenues without corresponding expenses seems a little suspicious.
If you work for Uber and can't find a new job in this market, you either aren't trying or aren't qualified.

We aren't talking about hypothetical people on the verge of bankruptcy here who we have constructed from first principles. We're talking about people who have somehow managed to buy a house within commute range of Uber SF. If quitting means losing the house, they've done something very very wrong.
When you set up an AWS EC2 instance (hosts the Squid server) you create "Security Groups" -- effectively a virtual firewall. So unless the instance operator configures an inbound 0.0.0.0 "accept" rule, it will probably be filtered to only accept connections from other instances in your VPC.
Not to mention the wider market is actually in a 'tumble' for the last few days, probably in anticipation of the fed rate increase.
Since Snap shares don't include any voting rights, the company isn't forced to do much of anything.
They may have all sorts of suspicions at the high failure rate. Having it confirmed gives them information it would be better they didn't have.
That seems to be a preferable approach since space lasers would require allowing NK to build a functional missile in the first place. If it is possible to sabotage the actual design at some critical point they can be prevented from creating functional missiles at all.
Switched networks are full duplex, point-to-point links, so there's no possibility of a collision from the transmitting station. That said, 802.3 still mentions CSMA/CD for half-duplex backward compatibility. Everything 10gig and above requires full duplex though.
Since the article doesn't clarify on shell command priority, commands are search in order:

1. Alias expansion.

2. Defined shell functions.

3. Built-in shell functions.

4. Command path.

If you provide an unqualified command that matches more than one of these elements, the first match wins.

Prepending a backstroke: "\command", will inhibit alias expansion. E.g.:

alias date="echo no date"
date
\date

Should return "no date", and your current system date, respectively.

To invoke a system command directly, call the full path. If you don't feel like running the fish shell (not that there's anything wrong with that).

Some simple shells (e.g., dash, and IIRC the original Bourne shell, though that is not what you'll find as /bin/sh on most modern systems) don't include a time builtin, and can invoke the system time command directly.
I completely disagree. I still watch it every once in a while and notice something new every time. I'm never disappointed.

Not entirely true. You can run half duplex gigabit connections on hubs. Not sure why you would, but you can. IEEE 802.3 covers all Ethernet standards and it still lists CSMA/CD. Largely for historical purposes, but it is in the spec.

Starting with 10gig, full duplex is required so that was the first IEEE speed that did away with CSMA/CD.
On my Android system with Termux installed, the system 'time' is the Busybox implementation, so yes, YMMV.

I'm being flippant regarding people's flippant dismissal of the pervasive culture of discrimination in their own company? No. No I am not. This is a serious matter. The only thing unserious is the insistence of some that being asked to leave an immoral job is demeaning.
The article discusses this, they did meet with the CIA before publishing.

The CIA will of course issue the standard Glomar response (or simply remain silent) and NK will have no more or less concrete information than they had before.

Would you be willing to write up a guide of some sort about the steps that someone could take to protect their information? Personally, I would be willing to pay for something like that.
The 10% was who visited once or twice a year. Another 10% were never seen over the several years I lived there, and another 10% I saw several times per year. I didn't mean for the number itself to distract from the overall gist - my apologies. And, of course, those are all just rough estimates.
I'm very left, and I'm quite alright with measures like regional quotas designed to avoid "clumping" - which I believe would address most of your concern there.

And you're right about the 8%, but since only about 10% of immigrants to the US are Muslim, really we're talking about 0.8%, over something like 25 to 30 years. That is so completely disproportionate to the hysteria over immigration (literally the number one issue for Trump voters, IIRC) I can't help but conclude that it's a purposeful scare campaign.

Also, it's not often that any immigrant group is the boogeyman for more than a generation. It used to be the Irish, then the Polish, then the Puerto Ricans, and so on. A huge fuss is raised, and then they assimilate, at least in the US.
So then the NY Times is in bed with the CIA?

Yes it is acceptable to call people on their moral failings, but their working at Uber isn't a moral failing - it's a job.

This statement is boggling. Only in Silicon Valley can a "billion dollar business" be worthless except for the price of its shares. Anywhere else, "billion dollar business" implies some kind of actual revenue.
If we look past the North Korean missile program, has the U.S. opened Pandora's box by using malware to affect another country's missile launch?

We used to talk about Stuxnet infecting Iran's underground nuclear computer systems which destabilized their centrifuges, but now we're talking about malware affecting the "left of launch" of a missile. If this is the future of stopping a potential nuclear attack from another country then is everything that used to be stable about the nuclear order now in disarray due to the "cyber age"? During the Cold War, The U.S. and the USSR knew where each other's missile were located and generally shied away from operations within the other's command and control systems for the most part.

Are we not inviting other major powers to play around in our nuclear systems? It's one thing to try and stop the North Koreans from launching a missile at California, but if the Chinese, the Russians, and the U.S. are inside each other's command and control centers, does this not undermine the mutually assured destruction doctrine? It could help make a country be so sure of its capabilities that it would be willing take a bet and never suffer any proportional retaliation.

The article includes their justification for publishing this, in fact that is about the last third of the text. The NY Times seems to be consistent with their handling of these types of stories so then the question becomes when has harm been done by this type of investigative journalism?
I have a foolproof plan for junk mail: I throw it away.
>to disclose the information

such information is disclosed by several of the missile program involved personnel every time a launch fails. They disclose it after NK security service applies their enhanced interrogation techniques so that it can be reported to the Great Beloved Leader that the spies&saboteurs who caused the failure were caught, pleaded guilty and were punished.

Yes, because it would be nice to know if it really was a systemic issue before wasting time and energy fixing it. "It's totally an issue, trust me" isn't worth acting on.

The sentence was slightly hard to parse so you may have missed that you get an extra month for each month you are employed over 1 year. So the stated example of a 2 year tenure gives 1 year and 90 days to purchase the options.
