Prices would adapt to the reality, and the original vendor would have a hard time demanding the rates they are used to when suddenly faced with competition. Especially competition that kept changes open, which instills more confidence in consumers of the software.

You can, but - as they're linked to Steam library, like 'pharrington wrote - whether or not the game will actually launch depends on Steam's opinion on this topic. The game may e.g. refuse to launch until you log in to Steam (and refresh whatever magic DRM sauce it needs on-line).

The DRM approach to piracy is an all or nothing thing. Once one person cracks a DRM setup they can distribute any movie protected by that setup to as many people as they want in whatever medium they want.

I think propagandizing piracy has had a lot more to do with its decline than ease of use. Try using popcorn time. It is incredibly easy.

> How did the libraries get by this?

I think the answer is, libraries predate publishing industry. They existed much longer than print. Governments worldwide managed to secure the role of libraries while publishers were still figuring out their business model. OTOH, audio and video recording, and all the digital media, popped up when publishers already knew how to make money with creative works - hence they managed to secure their moat quicker than society could respond.

> - No built in mechanism to support key rotation (like JWT header kid). You'll need to roll your own.

That's not true. Macaroons have identifier field. See the Readme doc in libmacaroons [0]. Direct quote:

> The public portion tells us which secret we used to create the macaroon, but doesn't give anyone else a clue as to the contents of the secret.

[0]: https://github.com/rescrv/libmacaroons/blob/master/README

I'd say that the biggest difference between JWT and Macaroons is that Macaroons are on one hand simpler than JWT (only one algorithm allowed) and on the other a lot more flexible. Caveats are just byte arrays and it's up to the user to decide how to verify them. The official docs present simple case of string predicates (user = Alice) but it'd be also possible to use something similar to Bitcoin Script. Of course this flexibility has a price: if using third party caveats (another unique aspect of Macaroons) all services must use the same caveat language.
These free databases are really inaccurate in many cases compared to e.g. Maxmind. E.g. this thinks my IP address is 100 km away near the German border, but Maxmind's commercial DB puts me a 7 minute walk away in the center of Amsterdam.

They're better than nothing, but be careful when relying on them for anything you need accurate Geo-IP info for.

We have a few remnants of the British colonialists here in Kenya. And one such, who has since passed on but was on the news regularly was called Cholmondeley. With the exception of one newscaster, who taught us how to read the name correctly, the rest always mispronounced the name. We also have a well name office block called Warwick Center and I am yet to hear someone dropping the second 'w'. Well, I didn't know that, too, until I met a someone from 'Worick' University.

Interestingly, I think if it had lived only a few months longer Yik-Yak might have found new life as chat for collaborative augmented reality or real world interactive games.

I'll use as the example Pokémon Go, which within the last month revised a major part of the game to introduce a feature that requires teams of people to defeat (gym raids). This has ended up with an assortment of tools being used in attempts to organize those teams, as well as some folks simply showing up and hoping others do the same. These include multiple fan/independent Discords, Facebook, and at least one browser map-based "I'm going to X" solution. Yik-Yak's geolocated chat (minus the anonymity that caused them so much trouble) seems like it would have been an excellent framework for for local team chats.
Put simply, DRM is a publisher's mechanism to restrict the use of a digital good in whatever way they like, which usually includes enforcing a subset of copyright laws that's beneficial to the publisher.
True, but typically he will spend more than _one_ single person with a dollar.

I created a gist (https://gist.github.com/lou1306/1041ed6cd4eed433cfabf45f666b...) to try and prove my point a little better: when people are only allowed to pay $1 to one another, the resulting distribution is quite unfair (as shown in the original post).
However, when payments can be as big as, say, 2-10% of the player's wealth, there is a noticeable decrease in the Gini coefficient.
Is it normal in <your country> for the bar to take a credit card when opening a tab?

That's the normal method in Britain -- your credit card is generally put in a little booklet behind the bar, so they can charge it if you forget at the end of the night¹. Alternatively, they may take a payment upfront -- for example, if a large group of teenagers have booked a private area of a nightclub and put £500 up for a tab. The drinks continue until the upfront money is spent.

I assume the situation is a little more relaxed for the regulars in a rural pub.

¹ They won't have your PIN, but they can still run the transaction -- though it's easier for the cardholder for dispute.
Nowhere near that old, but I remember a fun moment when I was a kid and living in an old house (in the UK). While redecorating we found some old folding window-shutters that had been covered over, and they were packed in with scraps of newspaper. The scraps described Germans reaching Paris and stern telegrams from the British Government telling them to behave themselves. It was from the Franco-Prussian War, 1870.
Expertise vs. Punditry
Puerto Rico as an Early Warning Sign
The effects of the 2008 financial crisis remain with us today. High consumer and government debt, low wage and economic growth have combined to make this the weakest economic recovery ever. Plus there are demographic headwinds: the US population is getting older by the day. But there is another aspect of our financial imbalance which will soon come to the fore: the pension crisis. Many state and local governments have promised pension benefits way beyond their ability to meet those obligations.

This isn't some theoretical argument. Earlier this year, Puerto Rico defaulted on its general obligation bonds because it couldn't pay. As a US territory, Puerto Rico did not have the option to declare bankruptcy so Congress passed a law that allowed the commonwealth to default on its debt; in return, the commonwealth relinquished responsibility for its financial matters to a federal review board. It may well turn out that Puerto Rico is but the first "state" to declare the equivalent of bankruptcy. Recently there have been articles on how Illinois could well follow Puerto Rico's example. So in this case, Puerto Rico could be the early warning of something much bigger.

This would not be the first time that events in Puerto Rico presaged a financial calamity.

As recounted in a manuscript I have just completed: It Started in Puerto Rico: The Fall of Doral Bank and the Advent of the Financial Crisis the crash in the stock price of Doral Bank on March 16th, 2005 actually was the harbinger of the crisis of confidence which befell several giant financial institutions just three years later. Just as a chain is only as strong as its weakest link, so too in financial transactions -- where confidence and trust are so prominent -- signs of trouble are first evident where the foundation is less solid.

Therefore, it may well be that history is repeating itself.

So what happens in Puerto Rico may not stay in Puerto Rico.

Well, going through or near said station almost every day I'd wager these points:

To me the article said the bus station is famous first for his students because he talks about it in his lessons. Here in Helsinki we like to think that the railway station has some merit on international scale, bus station by itself doesn't rate that much (and those are disappearing underground anyway).

From artistic point of view (I only shoot with phone camera)...
It's a bus station servicing east and north eastern lines. It gets travelers from airport train in addition of near and far going trains. Also, underneath is metro station, other side of the railway station is another bus station for north to westward lines (additional western lines are close by though that one is underground).

So, lot's of different people going through which affords various views against backdrops of various (to me spectacular) specimens of Jugend architecture through (particularly nasty example of) concrete brutalism (which writer neglects to mention for some reason..).
> No, because it means much less economic growth.

You're assuming the alternative to lending at interest is nothing rather than something.

A loan really does three things.

First, it creates new money. When you borrow money from a creditor, notice that they generally don't mail you a bundle of dollar bills. What really happens is that they credit your account with the loan amount, and at the same time create a loan account with a negative balance which is what you owe them. These cancel out, which causes their books to balance even though it is simultaneously the case that the amount of cash in their vault hasn't changed and the amount of money in your bank account has. This is why increased lending causes price inflation.

Second, it causes there to be more money in the hands of borrowers. This is where you get economic growth; people have more money to spend.

And third, it causes the borrower to owe the lender interest.

Notice that the first two are the only ones that are actually good for anything. Even the inflation is generally a cost, but in moderate amounts it's beneficial because it counteracts the natural deflationary tendencies of a growing economy. All you really want is for people to have money to spend.

But you don't actually need any lenders for that. If all you want is to create new money and give it to people, the government can create money by fiat and just hand it out to all citizens, or pay for government with it in lieu of taxing people. It's the same thing, there is just no interest.

Security by blacklisting is a bad idea. You don't need to look far - it's JWT libraries that could be fooled into accepting public key as a symmetric key [0] so even if you fix the noop bug you are still vulnerable. That's what's wrong with JWT - you always have one more issue than you think.

While I agree that there's a rather pathological focus of VC money on business ideas that are not especially innovative but really just bad (the whole takeout-but-without-a-profit-margin thing being a particularly absurd waste of investment), there's a problem, in that genuine innovation is not necessarily going to be more immediately sustainable as a business preposition (exhibit A: the internet, product of the grey area between the military industrial complex and academia, neither of which are spheres of human industry over-troubled by anything so vulgar as a competitive marketplace).

Sometimes I wonder if the VC world is the worst possible combination, rewarding merely the false promise of short term impact, as opposed to genuinely worthwhile but perhaps completely unprofitable RnD.

No, I would say that makes it harder.

People have all kinds of crazy, naïve assumptions about how databases work. I often don't see the result of those assumptions until late in the process, when correcting them is significantly more difficult.

EDIT: It does create a lot of teachable moments, however. Over time, many of those assumptions are mitigated.
Yik-Yak was briefly entertaining in a "wow so that's what kids are talking about these days" way, but with no focus it was kind of vapid.

Removing the boundary doesn't really make sense -- if you allow people to go into negative dollars but still be able to give a dollar each tick, then there's no longer a finite amount of money in the system.
I have not, so take my words with a grain of salt. However, with only 6 dimensions 100 trillion vectors is probably extremely overkill (unless you are talking time series data?). Probabilistic programming, from what I understand, thrives on situations where you do not have a lot of data (instead of an overabundance).

You could probably achieve very interesting results by taking a much smaller sample from your large data set.
Yes.

Having said that, the positives about IOTA;

They seem to have developed their own hashing function, of the sponge family, called Curl - and are actually using the Westernelitz (oh jesus spelling, more space-efficient Lamport) signature scheme - it is a method of constructing a digital signature only from hash functions. Cool.

I started writing an explanation but it got really wordy and I don't want it to sound patronizing. Better, have a look into Catastrophe theory, and consider lifeforms (and species) as coordinates in higher-dimensional parameter space, wherein informational asymmetries are equivalent to energy discontinuities.

A simple practical example of this would be bacteria around a hydrothermal vent; it's the boundary between the high energy source (signal) and the low-energy empty space around it where life thrives.

Design verification using TLA+ and Alloy is a completely different game than verification at the level of code as in Verdi. While there are plenty of studies saying design verification is good in general, I'm not aware of any studies saying that (or quantifying to what degree) it gets you close to implementation verification. On the flip side, the classic paper on the implementation of Paxos hints at just at how wide the gap is between design and running systems: https://research.google.com/archive/paxos_made_live.html

While Frama-C style verification works well out-of-the-box for proving single-threaded, isolated programs correct, one has to make a major effort to capture assumption-heavy distributed systems behavior using ghost code and other tricks. The only effort I'm aware of in this direction is the following, which uses the VCC tool: http://madhu.cs.illinois.edu/evcons.pdf

Client certificates don't work in http2. If you use due diligence and store them in secure hardware then they could be a lot more secure than bearer tokens (cannot be exported) but I guess most people would just store a PKCS#12 file on disk and that'd make them as secure as a bearer token.

On the other hand some companies use them even for browser clients for passwordless authentication.

From the article: "The buses that move out of Helsinki stay on the same line but only for a while, maybe a kilometer or two. Then they begin to separate, each number heading off to its own unique destination."

So Helsinki is an example, maybe not unique, of a bus station where it takes some time for (at least some of) the different numbered buses to diverge from a single route ("career trajectory").

This is the brilliant fact underlying nearly all accessibility work: in addition to the people with documented permanent disabilities that are the official beneficiaries of such developments (and regulations where those exist), there are hosts of people who are temporarily disabled, who are disabled but undiagnosed, who are not quite over the margin of "disabled" but who are less able than others, who have temporary needs that aren't disabilities at all but just benefit from different routes to access, or even who just plain have different preferences. The ADA in the US is a great example of this—a lot of the stuff it mandates makes your life better even if you're just, say, pushing a stroller and don't "need" the ADA-mandated ramp.

So yeah, best practices for disability accommodation are not just about handling the "<1%" (as someone in a different thread put it) that need them.

The article makes the claim that due to the fact that Fyre failed so spectacularly that Festival insurance's rates would rise such that Festival organizations wouldn't be able to throw the Festival.

Also, they will inccrease fees to the other Festivals and that may limit Festivals or they might insitute new rules and Festivals may be forced to figure out how to decrease their risks.
