Cryptocurrency implementations have to make tradeoffs like any other type of software, and in this case we're looking at the tradeoff between transaction speed and security. Other cryptocurrencies favor anonymity over convenience. Is there a CAP theorem equivalent for these problems? There seems to be a healthy tension between scalability and security at the very least.
IIRC it was fuel for energy production. While other islands changed to other energy sources PR kept burning oil. So the spike in costs a few years ago probably hurt.

To be clear, my problem isn't linking GPL and non GPL code, it is a GPL V2 project, wanting to include GPL v3 code! Same way the kernel can't merge GPL v3 libraries.
I think the difference is that Wells Fargo and it's ilk already have a shit ton of money and will stop at nothing to make more. Startup philosophy generally involves breaking rules somewhere along the way, but it strikes me as so deeply ingrained into Uber's culture as to be an end in itself.
I actually agree with you that this is an issue. However, key-escrow has some issues that warrants don't have.

The first, as others have mentioned, is how easy it is to use an escrowed key without detection.
The second is the fact that strong encryption remains available. This means you need to outlaw strong encryption, at which point steganography comes up to hide the encryption.
Finally, key-escrow is a massive increase of the attack surface of encryption. It's almost as if the government mandates we all use TSA locks on our doors.
> Personally I think you can make it a crime not to produce a key if a warrant has been issued to search what ever you've encrypted.

That's exactly what my (UK) government has done.

It's a horrific idea.
> Does it look like we're not working on it?

Frankly, yes.

I can't speak for the experience on linux, but on mac Inkscape needs to:

- Support high dpi displays

- It needs to scroll and zoom smoothly. (There's no reason for it to lag while scrolling and zooming on a modern computer. Every other app on my system manages it).

- It needs to use the operating system's menubar instead of xquartz.

- Use native controls for everything. That open/save dialog looks like something out of the 90's.

- It needs to support smooth scrolling.

That would be a start.
Because if you can control or modify radio firmware then it's can usually operate outside of certified range and power. Most of routers use same hardware for all markets while radio regulations are different. So limits are enforced per-country in software and it's easier for manufacturers to completely lock down devices.

If they don't agree, they will get booted from the Euro currency cooperation. Then they can't issue bonds in Euro.

About time. I've been waiting for an easy way to get Litecoin for so long. Every time I checked in the past, it seemed to require working with some Russian bank to get things set up, and something would always error out or "not be supported" or some crap and I'd eventually give up, like in the early days of bitcoin (if I had figured out how to successfully buy it I could have bought btc at $7 a coin once, and probably would have over 100 of them now).

Would have loved to have grabbed some LTC when it was dirt cheap, but I'll settle for getting in early on Coinbase. Did that shortly after Coinbase added Ethereum at $11, and it's now trading at $89.

How Replicated Is Helping to Sell SaaS Software to Enterprise Businesses
> If some of the Stallman-ish/revolutionary ideas had happened in the last decade, maybe all of us could spend 20 hours a week trying to fix/improve/rewrite the software we like/need. Today software devs are slaves to the industry.

Would any of Stallman's ideas change that? If you could wave a magic wand and make all the BSD/MIT sourcecode out there GPL, how do you imagine that resulting in the gimp being funded, or staffed by good UX designers?

I suspect it might put a lot of engineers out of business, because of how much the modern development industry depends on opensource. But then programmers would just have less money. I don't know how that would help bring about stallman's utopia.
A "better" way to do this would be to use key-escrow where a key only you have access to is needed to unlock the escrowed key.

If your personal escrow key is government mandated, and well-protected, that prevents the issue of you forgetting passwords (Estonia already has something like this). It also fully ensures that the government accessing escrowed keys requires you being informed.

I still don't support this plan, but it is the best thing I've seen.

Early Patches For Kernel Lockdown Mode Set For Linux 4.12
I never really got the appeal of Litecoin. It was basically just a copy and paste of Bitcoin with only minor alterations made to the source code (like changing the PoW for Script which never really defeated ASICs and a few other small changes.) It made no major innovations that can be named and even to this day it still lacks several of the major bug fixes that made it into Bitcoin (there are still patches missing from like ~2014 that result in the software being even harder to use for devs than Bitcoin.)

This is not coming from a Bitcoin Maximalist, by the way (not presently a fan of Bitcoin either.) Just thought I'd point out how bizarre it is that Litecoin even has a price at all when the software is functionally similar to Dogecoin. It's only real claim to fame is that it copy-pasted the code earlier than most other cryptocurrencies and hence now survives as a zombie currency backed by the souls of all the bag-holders foolish enough to invest in it (much like how Yahoo continues to survive to this day.)

Can we all just agree that Litecoin is a way over-hyped and silly excuse for a cryptocurrency? Silver to Bitcoin's gold? I can't think of a single problem that Litecoin actually solves compared to ... well, anything. At best: you could say its a speculative instrument tied to the cancerous block size debate. But other than that - is good marketing really worth the price of $21 USD a coin? I can see a lot of people getting screwed by this when the currency inevitably crashes again ...
This seems quite obvious now, looking at how much Qualcomm is involved in IoT.

One (not so charitable, I have to admit) interpretation is that there is a sizable group of people interested in ML that doesn't have the more traditional computer science background, and thus find this kind of text far more appealing, xkcd's ten thousand and everything [0].

This is exactly the useless, vacuous discussion points I'm taking about.

patents are basically a form of currency now. sad.

Yes it does.

Detailed Steps:

Open Computer Management

After disabling the Windows Update service in the Computer Management Console, click on the Recovery Tab. There, turn first three options to "Take No Action." Else, the service will reactivate itself after a while.

This way, you control when you want to update.

Note: If you use Defender, manually turn on the Update Service when you want to update the definitions.
If you can spend cryptocurrency (you can now spend it through debit cards and it's more becoming more widely accepted at online retailers) and you know it's deflationary, why would you ever want to cash out in to fiat?

Even if 5% of all Bitcoin are dumped on to an exchange / multiple exchanges, it would cause short term panic but you'd still end up with sellers buying back in at lower prices because of the fixed supply. And let's face it, if you're smart enough to create blockchain technology / Bitcoin, you're probably smart enough not to sell your entire portfolio in one swoop on an open market without communicating with anyone...

The current bubble will come to an end and we'll enter a bear cycle at some stage - it's a given... but it's pretty unlikely the technology will just go away and fade in to oblivion given the number of people working with it and potential (or in some cases realised) use cases.

Is about as disruptive a technology as there has been since the internet itself - so if you're waiting for it to fall apart I think you'll be waiting longer than you realise...

I did my Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) [1] on this issue, and it actually surprised me how many people think that the governments are right in this debate.

When presenting the work, I had a chance to ask ordinary people, and they all pretty much agreed that the government should be able to "break" encryption with a warrant.

This is a scary prospect, and I feel that educating citizens as well as the government is important.

It would be a great con, indeed. Going into hiding for 7 years so far, at a time when Bitcoin wasn't worth much, hoping that in time it will grow in value.

But tell me how to cash out any of those bitcoins that are supposed to be Satoshis without crashing the price? Just because it's on the blockchain doesn't mean anything as that only shows that those coins have changed ownership. They haven't been converted to fiat at that time.

Being able to sell on exchanges usually takes a few confirmations and by then, enough people will have heard the news of the coins moving and the price will already have plummeted significantly. Sure, those old coins would still be worth something but the actual monetary gain would be much less and Bitcoin itself might not survive such an event.

You could of course trade those coins over the counter, just sell the private keys or another method of an off-chain transaction but that still leaves the issue on how to cash out eventually?
Based on the API documentation, I think it could be done by combining a content script to capture keystrokes and a background script to call browser APIs that a content script can't access.

There'd be a number of edge cases to deal with, of course, and I'm sure Firemacs already handles at least some of them. I'll take a closer look, as soon as I can get Firefox to tell me what's "invalid" about the PoC extension I'm hacking on, and load it so I can try it out.
Public transport will continue to exist because it'd too expensive to build enough roads. London without Bus & Tube? You could walk faster than using a self driving car (recent tube strikes confirm that).

It would hurt medium distance flights and trains though. Boston-NYC would probably be more attractive in a self driving car than flying.
Yup, I'm in the UK and dd-wrt allows me to push my router power output far beyond the legal spec (since the actual router can support that but is software limited).

This is exactly what every body mentioned upon hearing Elon's comment on flying cars.

The media wrote good aricles about the conman who informed on Google, who claimed to be selling vials of nothing but water and labeling them "HGH" etc.

However, frankly, there are still scams being advertised on Adwords and I would argue that we should separate the scam category from the illegal pharma category.

The truth is that the vast majority of the half billion dollars they were penalized for earning was payments from companies who were advertising and fulfilling generic drugs from cheaper countries such as India (or even New Zealand!). The people running these companies may be 'criminals' -- you could make that case -- but I have an easier time making the case that they are running an ethical business that helps lower and middle class americans get the medicine they need at a fraction of the cost (and sometimes simply without explaining to a third-party that their dick doesn't work).

Technical simplicity, but sophisticated social engineering. Guess what the weakest link is between apps? It sure isnt the tech.
The product looks super useful, thanks for your efforts and congrats!

Your site is sorely lacking a good FAQ though. I just spent 10 minutes trying to figure out what languages you support, looking for a roadmap, trying to figure out if I can use this with any random repo on GitHub, and with which pricing plan. I only got the answers when I looked at the HN comments.
An economic argument would be that a customer defaulting now will signal to future lenders that they are a risky customer, leading to a raise in rates for future loans. The moral framework which says that defaulting is bad is in some way codifying the economic argument, by categorising actions that will lead to future difficulties as "immoral".
The government doesn't review every app on the app-store to check whether it complies with CIPA (Children Internet Protection Act). And yet, most apps do comply. Why? because people don't like to break laws, especially when the fines are rather large.
Radio has long been used to communicate propaganda across state lines. The relative ease of signal jamming is why it's not seen as an aggressive act.
I'm a Californian, and I don't think I've ever voted for her, but I can't say so for sure to be honest.

However, a senior politician of marginal quality can be better for your state than a junior politician of superior quality. In theory they are able to score you all kinds of handouts and preferential treatment where the junior politician would just get ignored.

I don't know if that's the case for Feinstein, but my point is there's some utility there from the perspective of a Californian that does not exist for (say) a Utahn given the option to vote in CA elections.

I'm going to have to call you out here.

Nothing is stopping you from reusing pieces, they're made to the same quality as always. Newer sets don't have as many "speciality" pieces as they did in the dark ages (2000-2005) and the instructions have NEVER had more than 1-2 models in them.

If you want mechanical stuff, buy the Technic range.

And there is no "artificial scarcity" - they just happen to release new products constantly, and they can't keep every single set in production; so sets are retired after 3-4 years.

Finally, scalpers aren't the only ones to buy from; I find below-RRP sets all the time on Craigslist & similar.
I like the idea of AR search in the visual field. Look at crowd and the AR highlights your friends, a book title in rows of shelves, or sidewalk money - that would be handy.

> If everyone has the expectation that the lenders and borrowers will try their best to live up to the contract they made in good faith, wouldn't it be a better equlibrium?

No. This will result in bad actors defaulting with little penalty except shame and guilt (which they won't care about) and good actors suffering. We want an equilibrium where good behavior results in at least equal if not better economic outcomes to bad behavior.

This should be priced into the lending until the penalties of defaulting (loss of credit, future lending problems, loss of existing assets and so on) creates the right cost to balance out the cost of paying off the loan.

Best message on this topic. Thanks.

What the old Leica of old did was the famous 'F8 and be there' -- basically at F8 with a mirrorless rangefinder there was enough DoF to shoot pretty much anything, at anytime (apart from pitch black) and still come out with a printable picture...
Even a modern DSLR doesn't give you that, as the autofocus will take a bit of time, unless you disable it. Same with the u4/3 and other mirrorless.

I preferred digital carry-on is a Panasonic DMC-GM1 with a fixed 14mm lens. It's bigger than a mobile phone, but it's also considerably better, and the battery last weeks, not hours.

I also still shoot my 1947 leica IIIc, and the old leica M2, just because I love handling them!

The funny bit is that I can shoot anything and anyone anywhere with my old 35mm rangefinder, and people will look at you and smile at you even. Try that with a digital monster or a mobile phone and people will just close down like a clam.

Well, if you're still there can I ask you about Silicon Valley's approach to the law.

You say that lawsuits are merely part of "a well-scripted conflict narrative between corporate entities".

Here in Australia our Federal Court recently hit Chevron for $300 million in a tax case that some say will have implications worldwide for corporate tax structures.

Couldn't a new model of law based on that kind of questioning of corporations and corporate governance regulate the Valley (and Wall Street) effectively?

If not what are the holes in such a claim?
