> What the absolute frell is going on there I have no idea.

Money laundering? Flight capital? Under the table payments for services rendered in some other area?

I have no insider knowledge. It's just a speculation. But if even 10% of this actually exists in some liquid sense this is serious money. The number of participants in these markets is far lower than Kickstarter and yet the money in question here is massive.

I've read a few of these ICO white papers. They are largely jokes, total buzzword salad with little in the way of novel developments. There are a few ICOs that might actually be worthwhile experiments but the majority are ridiculous.

"If something makes no sense from a business perspective, maybe it makes sense in some other way."

I've heard that saying from multiple sources. Apparently it's a saying in the investigative world. It is said of perpetually money-losing yet eternally floated businesses, businesses that don't actually do anything yet seem to be moving a lot of money around for services rendered, and absurd-looking "investments" that raise money from weird sources.

Chinese or Russian flight capital is one very good possibility. There are a lot of very rich and often corrupt people who want to get money out of those countries without tipping off authorities and skirting currency controls and (in Russia's case) embargoes. One way of moving money illicitly is to basically execute a pump-and-dump or Ponzi scheme against yourself. The losing side is the sender, the winning side is the receiver. You lose some in the transfer but that's cost of doing business.

Vancouver recently enacted a foreign property speculation tax to curtail its ridiculous flight-capital-driven property bubble. There are rumblings of similar measures elsewhere. Perhaps other avenues for flight capital are being experimented with. There are hundreds of billions of dollars waiting to be expatriated from these countries.

Someone is always paying attention, especially when this kind of money flies around. I again have no inside knowledge but I can nevertheless say with 100% certainty that intelligence agencies and police agencies are watching.

In any case stay away. Stay far away from scams. A lot of people get deluded into thinking they can skim from these, but if you aren't an insider and don't know the timing you'll get fleeced.

Edit:

I've long heard the rumor that some obscenely big ticket sales of crummy WTF "art" are money laundering. "If something makes no sense..."

Just adding more data:

The 2017 Volt (Opel Ampera-e) has a top speed of about 160 km/h / 100 mph for 35k EUR, $33k USD

Pretty sure the Model 3 can acheive this, if not be faster, since this is just the norm and not 'fast'.

Tezos has a working testnet available to anyone on request and a functional (albeit early) platform. They also took extra time and delayed their ICO to get proper accountability systems in place via good legal standing for the Tezos Foundation.

Tezos asks a vital question. Can cryptocurrency governance be decentralized? Can we do better than the anarchy of management for Bitcoin and Ethereum with chain splits being the solution to dispute?

I for one gambled some of my portfolio I am willing to lose to find out and spent a lot of time researching their code, and team before doing so. I am as interested in seeing Tezos fail (and thus further indicate anarchy and splits are unavoidable) and seeing my ETH/BTC holdings continue to rise as I am in seeing Tezos succeed and overshadow everything by proving it can rapidly evolve and incorporate the best features of other coins without forking.

I'm not sure "arming police to better commit violence and take lives" is on the same level as "peacefully enabling our doctors to be better doctors".

One directly causes harm to people. The other _potentially_ causes harm, only if that data gets into the wrong hands and/or is misused. I think saving more lives is worth considering the tradeoff and striking a balance somewhere in the middle (e.g. gathering consent, opting in/out, transparently seeing who what data is shared with, etc).
it being "unsubstantive" is your opinion. I think it's important to look at the author/company behind the article, so i can determine if it can be taken seriously or not.

I'd also really like Microsoft to develop the Application Guard (app in a VM) feature faster and make it widely available to almost any app, or at least any browser, and of course to everyone, not just enterprise users.

Microsoft has some interesting new security features on its roadmap. Unfortunately, 90% of them are for enterprise users-only and some only for its own applications.

It also wouldn't hurt to overhaul/replace UAC with something better, but I imagine that would require deeper architectural changes (which I think would be worth the pain).

Microsoft should also push users towards creating a Standard account when installing Windows, and setting up an Admin password, too. It shouldn't be too difficult/disruptive. They just need to create an easy process for it at installation.

The vast majority of Windows malware infections happen because users are also Admins. This alone would give Windows a huge security boost on average.

https://www.avecto.com/news-and-events/news/94-of-critical-m...

Once they do this, they could also start encrypting Windows devices by default with the Admin key, similar to how Android does default encryption.

Windows is pretty much the last major operating system not to encrypt by default. Hopefully, if they do this, they at least give users the option to keep the key locally, and not automatically upload it to Microsoft's servers, as they do now if you login to your Microsoft account.

"If an app attempts to make a change to these files, and the app is blacklisted by the feature, you’ll get a notification about the attempt,” Microsoft explains."

I don't understand. If they have a blacklist, why ask the user? Or is "blacklisted" used loosely here to include code flagged by heuristics?
I did it in 2013, with a C&T visa and a very weak grasp of the language. It took about 40 hours (mostly standing in various lines) to get my residence card. Some bureaucrats fucked with me because they could, and some were helpful but still followed their own version of the rules. For example, one day photocopies of bills were acceptable for proof of address (but something else was not acceptable) and the very next day, only the original bill would be accepted.

My daughter is fluent in French and she went with me to the prefecture once. She told me that the woman behind the glass was super rude, even though she put on a smile and pretended to be helpful. In fact, the next time I made it through the line there and explained what documents I had and why, the guy went to that woman's counter and chewed her out for being malicious (she had written a partial list of required docs instead of handing me the official complete-ish pre-printed list), and apologized to me for her behavior. Then he rejected my paperwork for a reason that was not documented anywhere.

Catch-22s are everywhere; you can't open a bank account without proof of address, but you can't rent a place without a local bank account. It's the same for just about everything important. We had some French friends who cosigned for our apartment so we could get past that, and we were VERY fortunate to have friends who were willing to do that for us. A few people told me that everyone knows someone who can make fake paperwork; you just can't follow all the rules. C'est impossible!

However, I would say that living in France was a fantastic experience, and I wish I had done it 10 years earlier.
I think a bigger problem with the 'chips by the kg' mindset, is that there is zero incentive and zero funding to develop good software to go along with the hardware.

Companies who are successful have spent way more time in ensuring that their software works reliably with their debuggers, across a wide range of chips and platforms. Sure it's expensive, but everything just works.

By 'stealing' this software in this way, cloning firms are dragging the entire industry down with the clones that don't work 100%, or the IoT devices that get infected due to lack of any security. I'm really hoping some certification body like UL, or major distributor like Amazon or Alibaba, steps in and starts ensuring at least a basic level of quality for hardware and software.
Super misleading Economist headline and subheading:
"Websites offering pirated papers are shaking up science: Musicians and moviemakers are not the only ones to suffer from internet piracy"

If you come to this topic from an essentially blank slate, the headline and subheading would make you think that /science/ and /scientists/ are suffering from piracy (in analogy to the claim that musicians and moviemakers are).

Except very likely the opposite is true: this piracy offers much greater exposure to scientific literature and enables access to otherwise-inaccessible scientific knowledge for scientists in poorer nations.

Unlike musicians and moviemakers, scientists make ZERO money from publication royalties of journal articles but they (or their institutions) have to /pay/ for access to these journals. The only ones making money are the publishers.
Something about unix time? Isn't the earliest moment in unix time around December 1900? Epoch - 2^31 seconds? I'm betting it's something about that plus some tricky nonsense I don't have the energy figuring out (assuming that I could). I guess spoiler alert...

I used to love puzzles like this when I was younger, but I think I've lost the patience for them now.

EDIT: ah, no, it's December 13, 1901. Never mind!

What's wrong about #6? Is it just blurring the difference between "less than .05" and "only .05"?

#7 isn't clear to me either, though I'm guessing it's a pithy way of saying that two results that are both "significant" can easily have different evidential value.
RINSE | San Francisco, CA, Culver City, CA, Washington, DC, Boston, MA | Full Time

Rinse is a technology-enabled dry cleaning and laundry delivery service. We've grown at double-digit month-over-month rates for about four years now, our business fundamentals are solid, and our customers love us! We have a number of open positions:

1) We're actively seeking Software Engineers of all skill levels, including those looking for leadership opportunity. We're primarily a Django / Python shop, but an individual with solid systems engineering fundamentals will succeed, regardless of technical specifics. It's a "target rich" environment with plenty of opportunity to make a direct and meaningful impact on the business! We're solving problems as varied as demand forecasting, route optimization, QR tagging for inventory control, SMS automation, and a suite of mobile apps for our customers and staff. See https://www.rinse.com/careers/software-engineer/

2) In particular, we're missing a Senior Front-End Developer to join the team and provide some leadership in the development of our suite of hybrid mobile apps and web tools. We've seen success building a React Native app for our customers, and we have sophisticated internal apps on Backbone.js. Our users are an interesting mix of newly-acquired customers, highly-engaged staff who need these tools to do their job, and vendors who may be the dry cleaners down the street from your house. See https://www.rinse.com/careers/senior-front-end-developer/

3) We're hiring our first Data Scientist to augment our data-driven management culture. The ideal candidate will span Data Engineering, Data Science, and Business Intelligence roles, and be familiar with enterprise data warehousing technologies. Important technical skills include SQL and Python, with Excel familiarity a big plus. We have an interesting and growing data set; this position will enjoy considerable executive visibility and a significant influence in the direction of the company. See https://www.rinse.com/careers/data-scientist/

4) Finally, we're aggressively recruiting for a Boston City Manager to found and lead our Boston operation. This is a great 'mini-startup' opportunity, with operational, management, financial, marketing, and business-development roles all rolled into one. This position enjoys significant support from our corporate team, and we have a good idea how to do that, since this will be our fifth city. See https://www.rinse.com/careers/city-manager-boston/

See https://www.rinse.com/careers/ for even more open positions, including numerous open marketing roles!

But that's sort of irrelevant, isn't it? When the USAF buys an F-35, the cost of the F-35 is almost entirely domestic US labor, even though on the military budget it counts as equipment.
The fees are quite high for that card.

And you are not paying with BTC. If it's a debit card then you have to have fiat in a bank account. I guess they exchange BTC to USD when you top up your shift card.
