I'd like that too, but I think at this point, tactically, we need to come together on "we need some social programs, period", and not bicker so much about what that looks like on the first iteration -- there is always a second iteration to be had.
There for PyCon by chance? The bitcoin poutine place (one of several places that accepted bitcoin on that street, I noticed) was like 4 blocks from the convention center. That was a fun PyCon.
Hi sjroot, you're correct. I mentioned in the talk that we started with music and discovered how much deeper it is. The actual app itself has social features and in the alpha version we're testing we have our video (think Snapchat for Music) feature. We'll be building out the food and events recommendations in our next couple sprints. Thanks for asking, I hope that helps. We should really update our website.
Cutting my grass is like dungeon grinding. It's painful and the gear I want never seems to drop, ever. I'm starting to think up using opencv with a raspberry pi attached because this is where autonomous vehicles should be. Low speed, replacing mind numbing tasks nobody wants to do... It's like honey I shrunk the kids but one level up.

You keep referring to the 'moneyed' as an alien entity when in reality it is a lot of index funds, pension funds, 401ks and what not.

Are you saying there should be less/no return for investing your money? If so, how do you suppose we incentivize investments?
I keep trying to get into org mode, and it never gets a hold of me. Would love to hear what amazing things folks are doing with org mode that can't be achieved, e.g., with markdown.
> I wouldn't say obviously. From my perspective Obamacare is fascist

It's not. Fascism is characterized xenophobia and militant nationalism, among other things.

You could, I suppose, argue that Obamacare is a weak single-industry example of corporatism, and it's true that fascism (like many things that are not fascism) incorporates corporatism, but calling it fascist on that basis is like saying an explicitly atheist free-market system looks Communist because it rejects religion.

I recently experimented with the Idris JavaScript backend and it is not ready for prime-time. In particular, the FFI doesn't handle functions well. I was unable to call into Idris code from JavaScript which is a deal-breaker, IMO.
I'm sorry, but I really don't see the point. Most of the things you would do on mars, you could do them on Earth for much less effort.

Exceptions are studying mars of course, and enjoying low-gravity. I don't see either one as a life-goal thing and anyway they are not the motivations that transpire from what I read from mars enthusiasts.

Call it a strawman argument if you want, but it's not disingenuous in the sense that it's my genuine, honest opinion.
While arguably it's Gmail's fault, there are email clients, such as Gmail, that do not behave well with, or perhaps support at all, emails as attachments. When emailing people who use Gmail (as personal email or as the host of their work email), sending emails as attachments just doesn't work well.
>If you try to choose your words carefully and explain the situation to your recipient

Not always. Sometimes it's just easier to communicate the context by just copying them the thread. It might lead to shorter mails and less explaining.

No. Unfortunately I don't make it to conferences as often as I'd like. I just live in New Hamsphire and it only takes me 4 and a half hours to drive to Montreal. It makes a good weekend getaway if I don't want to hop a plane :)
I still can't think of any reason for me to use BTC.

A couple of friends have bought bitcoin because they think it will go up in value. Maybe it will maybe it wont. I certainly dont want to own BTC when it could fall to zero.

Walmart is plenty at fault for their brand's image. Until very recently, they've been on a trend of pushing workers harder, driving suppliers to produce shoddier and shoddier products, lying about potential jobs to get small towns to subsidize building stores that run local companies out of business, then moving those stores to new locations and refusing to let competition lease the empty building they left behind, intentionally screwing around with employee schedules to make it hard for them to keep the second job that they need, making life miserable for long-time workers so they can avoid paying more than entry-level wages... the list can go on. Walmart has no one but itself to blame for its image.
That's just the "forgot password" system, minus the convenient option of entering a password instead of waiting... and waiting... and waiting... and checking your spam folder... and waiting some more... for the email with the auth code to arrive. Not actually an advantage, in my eyes.
Walmart and WalmartLabs are two different entites. One is headquartered in Bentonville (AR) and the other is headquartered in San Bruno (CA). The Labs is the technology entity that is funded very generously by Walmart. I work for Walmart and I find the environment very fast paced, colleagues are very skilled and the pay is at par with Google and Amazon.
Lol. One of my favourite dishes is russian salad (ahem more like "salad"), also called "Olivier salad", but friend from Ukraine said they call it "French salad" (maybe he was joking with me)... And yeah, it's very tasty, yummy, most likely very unhealthy (except for what it delivers to the brain, and the rest of the nervous system), but just another example.

Then you have the greek salad, well I'm from Bulgaria.. We ain't callin' it that way :) But since I've been living in USA for a long time, I got used to calling it that way...

I also had some friends who did this around 2012-2013. It was pretty easy, and they were making 25-30% margins on the bitcoins that they sold. Sounds great!

They ended up getting scammed a few times, and they realized that it was a fairly efficient market after all. So they got out.
Personally, I think anything is possible.

I've used KeePass synced through OneDrive for a few years now. Getting a password out used to be pretty tedious as my master password is on the longer side, but I've found a couple apps that let me quickly sign in with my fingerprint which has significantly improved my outlook on this setup.

If anyone wants to try them, those apps are Keepass2Android Password Safe [1] for Android, and KeePassReader [2] for Windows 10 (also lets you sign in by looking at your camera). I have no affiliation with them beyond being a happy user.

You call in a hazmat team to dispose of it.

The article leads off with the chocolate and soap busts, which at least show artistic merit, unlike nailing deli meat to the wall. However the artistic merit is unaffected by the material. IF you think these busts are notable sculpture, preserve by making a mold and casting them in a durable resin.

That preserves the sculptural form, but not the material. This pattern is shown in bronze statues (generally the original was sculpted from clay) and in plastic and resin toy figures (original often sculpted from wax).

The problem is the busts probably aren't worth preserving sculpturally (they're competent, but not evocative), and part of the perceived "art value" is being made of a weird material.

I'll use risky terminology here: If a REAL artist wanted a "chocolate bust" - since the bust is purely a visual artifact - he would sculpt or mold it of a suitable material and paint it to look like chocolate. That's what a movie or theme park would use to convey the IDEA of a chocolate bust.
iFixit is weird about Macs. On the Mac, you can at least open the thing up to replace a fan (the only moving part in the whole machine). You can also replace the battery with a little bit of effort to undo the glue. But it only gets 1/10, compared to the 0 the Surface Laptop gets which you can't even open at all.

Yes, the best kept one being that it's overblown with NIMBYism. It's residents like to think it's on par with places like Seattle in terms of social progress, but it's all talk and no one seems willing to write the checks. It's very pretty though!

Open Politics
Members of the population come up with political ideas (e.g. lower taxes) and append their own copy to them (e.g. LowCome!). They tell early adopters about these ideas, along with the catchy hooks. Ideas are vetted and spread through the six degrees of separation to people who can action them.
Breaking USB ports is exactly why I buy phones with wireless charging whenever possible. Mini-usb was pretty durable, never lost a cable, device, or phone. Micro-usb, despite the marketing, seems radically less durable. I've lost many chargers, cables, and phones. It's just not up to the task of daily use.

I had to give up on a replaceable battery (I normally end up using a phone well after the first battery dies), but I was able to put a wireless charging pad inside the case of my Pixel Xl. So now my usb port is mostly unused and will hopefully last longer than the rest of the phone.

If governments wants to decrease waste the should require replaceable batteries. Sad that just as decent quality materials are becoming quite common and CPU/ram are not limiting factors that devices could last 5-10 years... if not for the epoxied batteries.
" And if its purpose was scientific it wouldn't have to be 'self-sufficient'."

There's always scientific value in everything we do. It's just a matter of cashing in on that value.
It is weird to me that so many people are getting caught up on the fact that type safe printf has been around forever. If someone has looked into Idris they almost certainly know that it isn't a new concept.

If used this could be seen as a precedent for letting internet carriers do this. Even if you're paying for the connection it's still their network.

While this is already occurs for content that is considered illegal, broadening the content it can be applied to is dangerous.

They may block or throttle their competitors, or send you promotions for their products (or do the same things of their associates). Many people won't know or be able to detect that this is happening.
It's just a framework. Like music history, ethnomusicology, music cognition, music lessons, instrument building, etc., it will deepen one's appreciation for music if you learn it.

As far as composition-- I've had some encounters with talented musicians who get stuck putting together a song or electronic composition because "something just isn't sounding right." In those encounters, a process of elimination improved a chord/voicing that an understanding of fundamental music theory principles would have revealed without my help.

The problem is that without the fundamental understanding, it's nearly impossible to reverse-engineer such an improvement and deduce the general principle at work. Lacking that basic understanding makes one reliant on others just to figure out how to get the sounds out of one's head and into the air.
i know that feeling, and it's a constant struggle to try and decide whether to waste time studying how to pass an interview that uses skills you'll probably never use at work again until the next interview, or use that time to actually learn a new language / framework or read some reference books
> I'm not quite sure how you would use Bitcoin for tax evasion.

Just guessing (and this also applies to money laundering): using undeclared/ill-acquired funds to buy bitcoin, which are not taxed and cannot be traced back to you (if you take the necessary protections). Selling it back when you need liquidity.
> Edmund’s willingness to put himself in the thrall of an evil witch in exchange for Turkish Delight makes him not only morally but gastronomically suspect.

I disagree: it was enchanted Turkish Delight, which made the one eating it always craving for more, eventually eating himself to death if he'd get the chance.
Stalinist central planning is actually Leninist, and it still has capital, just not private property in it (and, consequently, a different way of allocating it.)

Without capital, a productive effort fails under Stalinism, too.
A related thing that is often ignored is that nicotine is a stimulant and makes it easier to put your body through physical abuse that it otherwise wouldn't take. Some health conditions are improved by nicotine but I suspect in many cases it clearly makes things worse but also makes it possible to work.

It doesn't work for real valuable IP because we don't have Internet court and even in obvious cases only real court can tell who is 'IP theft'. So creators have to spend a lot of time/money to prove obvious things while the scammer can change providers easily to DMCA resistant one.
We recently looked over PowerBI and it didn't cut it. Crude mapcharts & limited viz capabilities. Lots of tools feature R integration. If your small to medium organization goes down the MS dynamix route then it may be worthwhile. There was a lot of potential there but not enough finished features to move us off the hybrid BI approach.
Everything is served out of RAM and then when RAM fills up, the oldest threads are written out as static files. (Note that when you visit a super-old thread [1], there's no "reply" link and voting redirects you to a voteclosed page.)

Computers are stupidly fast at serving out of RAM - it's not unusual to be able to serve 100K requests/sec if a request never needs to touch disk (see eg. the JSON serialization test on the TechEmpower benchmarks, on physical hardware [2] - top frameworks can get 500K request/sec on a hello-world serialization task). They're also stupidly fast at serving static files (which, if the server is implemented right, can be served straight out of the filesystem cache in the kernel without any memory copies through user space). 100K requests/sec is a budget of 20,000 cycles/request, which is eminently doable if most of the page contents is in RAM (or better yet, cache...on a slow day, the entire front page of HN can fit in L3 cache).

The same approach has been used to good effect on other websites like Google, Facebook, PlentyOfFish, Mailinator, etc. Eschew databases, serve out of RAM (and now SSDs) entirely.

I have a crazier theory about this. After logging on to a WiFi router, the router could report to Amazon that some customer is in shop X. When that customer goes online to shop (for example, Whole Foods), Amazon could show higher prices.
I was thinking of the Shao Yang (binary) arrangement, rather than the original King Wen arrangement, which would have been created during SY's lifetime (1012-1077). This is the version Leibniz examined [1]. But, yes, as you point out, if you go back to the King Wen version, even earlier. If only Leibniz was around today!

Not for nothing, but wasn't Walmart one of the first companies to use Node effectively at scale to ship hundreds of changes on the busiest shopping day of the year (Black Friday)?

Probably some interesting engineering challenges to pursue there. Pretty sure there is also a significant chunk of engineers that aren't as concerned about their approach to low-wage management. Amazon seems to have survived that challenge just fine.
Back when Mercedes-Benz was less of a luxury car it was fairly common for people to buy them and keep them 2-3 times as long as the average car. Better engineering, better materials, and better design. While enjoying a lower cost to own and a better resale value.

Laptops used to be like that as well. A serious use would pay top $$$ and get a well built "tank" of a device. The designs changed less often, parts availability was good, and the more likely parts to break (charging ports, keyboards, and batteries) were replaceable.

Now the opposite has happened. The cheap crappy laptops are easier to work on, and the expensive laptops are thin, sealed, and impossible to work on.

Sad.
I'm a workhorse, having ran 27 half marathons last month.

I've never had a whiteboard interview where they cared about the syntax. I used pseudo code every time and they've always accepted it without problem. I can imagine places where this isn't the case, but they are just bad interviewers. The point is to talk through a problem, not write working code.

Arf I hate this rhetoric because there absolutely a need for the old school style laptops, it's just everyone wants to chase the convenience users who will replace their machines every year or two, especially if they can convince companies to do it for them.

In my case I bought a Dell Precision 5520, its an absolute beast with killer battery life too and is completely user serviceable. I expect this thing to easily last 5 years and it's not much thicker than a MacBook.

There are not many people aiming for my market segment because I suppose the money is in disposable hardware. But I can still dislike it.

In which case, the question isn't really relevant to the job. Same goes for stuff like sorting algos. Why not pose problems more representative of the job and business domain?
Different markets. Ever tried a Dell Precision Mobile Workstation? They're beautiful laptops. High-quality parts, easily repairable, parts are plentifully available. Lot of upgrade and expansion potential.

Why does one assume the Surface Laptop (or MacBook Air) is supposed to meet all possible needs?

Most drug and gambling providers engage in criminal activity (beyond the mere violation of drug and gambling regulation) to maintain their market.

If you pay someone in Bitcoin, and they spend that Bitcoin on something else, and none of those transactions are properly reported for their income or capital gains implications, that's tax evasion. Bitcoin facilitates it because it doesn't have the built-in processes for handling large-scale monetary transfers that the traditional banking system does.

"Capital flight" presumably means hiding ill-gotten money by using Bitcoin to transport it across borders. A better term might be "money laundering".

So, sure sharing secrets is not vice, but the rest are or contribute to it. The point is that most of the value of Bitcoin is wrapped up in vice.

I agree and I didn't mean to equate them. Many people make the mistake and say requests for privacy means you have something to hide. The fact that digital tools that offer censorship resistance, be it Tor, Tails or Bitcoin have applications for BOTH activists and criminals (just like cash or weapons or bridges or ...) could be an article in itself and requires more diligence than an article that is basically saying "blockchains are shit for anything that doesn't need censorship resistance".
