Not really a "civil war"-- basically, bitcoin will keep working, even without the segwit upgrade if it gets delayed another year or two, and there might be some new altcoins that could be spun off from the current bitcoin, and there might be some brand confusion for a while as people wonder whether something incompatible with the bitcoin network is still bitcoin.

Here is some background:

If someone in your group has figured out a dominant strategy for a particular game, it can be worth evaluating if there are strategies which can specifically counter it. In the matter of Tzolk'in in particular, there are at least four major strategies available, and well documented:

https://boardgamegeek.com/thread/1038126/guide-main-strategi...

Tzolk'in is also helped in that you can play it online, to practice— basically, execute the dominant strategy and see if it does as well online as it does in your particular group. See: http://en.boardgamearena.com/#!gamepanel?game=tzolkin
Yes, but also no. The trick here is that if you're paying for your £1,000,000 space rocket by transfering the bitcoins from one address, it's a small transaction.

If you're paying for your £3 coffee by transfering small amounts from many addresses, it's a big transaction.

Address fragmentation happens when your coins are distributed across many addresses, and can be caused by things like spending coins, because all transactions actually spend everything at an address and just route the "change" elsewhere. Buy two cups of coffee too close to each other and your next transaction is going to cost twice as much in fees, whoops!
On the other hand, they fund that ability off significant fees whenever you buy something with a debit/credit card. You rarely see those fees, but the shop does, meaning the shop has to increase prices of everything by a couple of percent to cover it - and usually don't provide a discount when you're paying by cash.

The World Bank pushes privatization of infrastructure, natural resource extraction, agricultural resources, etc.

the IBRD's Articles of Agreement explicitly identify "promoting private investment by private investors" as a goal. If that's not part and parcel with capitalism, I'm not really sure what is.

Perhaps you protest the other investments WB makes, which fall under its goal of producing "suitable conditions" for private investment (in practice, that means sucking governments dry until/unless they agree to privatization and occasionally ousting non-capitalist leaders from power.) But saying that capitalism stops being capitalism as soon as private investment starts controlling governmental decisions is just defining your way out of a very real and substantive critique of capitalism. Reality and real problems don't go away just because you're being pedantic about the definition of capitalism.

The World Bank may not embody "your" capitalism. But by any reasonable definition that avoids this sort of No-True-Scotsman distinction, the World Bank is aggressively capitalist. And certainly the bankers describe themselves (earnestly!) as capitalists.

So instead of saying "that's not capitalism", we should discuss whether any system which deifies private investment will eventually end up with organizations like the World Bank. And how to curb those excesses.

(Also, the world bank is not really a central bank. If the World Bank is a central bank then we might as well call any very large bank a central bank as well. In both cases, there are analogies but also important distinctions.)

> This distinction is important since over 90% of US currency is created via loan using this fractional reserve mechanism.

No actual US currency is created this way, we just have a strong social convention of treating “the bank owes me $1 on demand” as equivalent to “I have $1”.

So if I make a “deposit” (which is, on point of fact, a loan) of $1, and the bank retains $0.10 in reserve and loans out $0.90 to someone else, we say that I have the equivalent of $1 and the borrower has $0.90, so it seems that $0.90 has been created. But there is really only $1.00 of currency, of which the bank has $0.10 and the borrower has $0.90. I don't have a currency, I have a right to demand (with certain conditions, depending on the kind of deposit) currency from the bank.

Most dollar-denominated trade is actually trade in future claims of dollars rather than actual dollars. Nothing [0] stops a parallel thing from happening with Bitcoin; obviously, such trade would be distinct from exchanges of Bitcoin recorded in the Bitcoin blockchain, just as trade in future claims of dollars are readily distinguishable from exchanges of physical greenbacks.

[0] Except the current immaturity of the Bitcoin ecosystem compared to the banking systems of any developed economy, but that's presumably something that would change were Bitcoin to achieve broad, durable acceptance.

True. And although I wouldn't do this every 6-12 months myself, I do interview a couple times a year just to keep my interviewing skills sharp because you're right, everyone is an expendable at-will employee.

I only escalate if I find out I could be making 25% more or greater by leaving for a desirable gig elsewhere. At that point, yep, I'm underpaid. Otherwise, I suspect you are overoptimizing one axis of employment potentially at the expense of the rest.

That said, I've never been at a tech company where people have been promoted every 6 months. At best, every year, and more like biannually or worse.

Finally, don't play games like this if you're not a superachiever. You will be shown the door. And while you can fool some of the employers all of the time, once you've hopped enough times, it starts being used against you in hiring.

But I agree that one shouldn't get attached to any job, it could go away in an instant.

Emacs, Eclipse, Lein, Maven, Node. Two additional ones are in my kit box by default, for different reasons, Java and MS Office. Java is required for Lein, Eclipse, and Maven, and occasional Java components. Node is needed for tool automation, in my case. Emacs is used for general editing needs, and Clojure coding. MS Office is needed because any delivery which does not include documentation doesn't count, and many I work with require documentation in MS Office form.

I can't say that I pay anything to Google and I've used their products for years. I haven't purchased anything through them directly, so it's unfair to say "You pay Google and they harvest your data for the privilege." I'm aware that they're providing a "free" service to me (Gmail, search engine etc) and in return I "pay" in personal data.
I wonder if eventually the SNR of electronic content will simply be so low that any communication of nontrivial value will simply take place over physical channels (e.g. face-to-face and trust networks), as it has for all of human history but the modern era. Or we truly embrace cryptography as a people and use it to build such networks of trust in the digital realm (e.g. news videos cryptographically signed by reporters and news organizations).

Speaking of which, the notion that one can possess irrefutable audio-visual evidence of an event is also a very recent one. Until the 19th century absolutely any news item traveled word-of-mouth (or ink) through trust networks and were absolutely subject to manipulation.
I think it is unfair that the article says there is only one other contender.

There exists for example esdoc [1] which is capable of compiling together written documents with generated documentation. I've just implemented this for two work projects with the return of many thanks from my team.

Waiting for their announcement, but this would be a great way to pull a quick scam. Make a decent looking site promising a random piece of software that seems legit, promote an ICO, setup a fake wallet, then when the ICO goes live claim your site was "hacked" and points to a fake wallet you control. Grab a few million and never have to actually write said piece of software.
Perhaps you mean anarchocapitalism or some libertarian strain of capitalism, because, otherwise, this is straight out of the modern capitalism playbook.
That's making the incorrect assumption that all 900TB is hosted by the CDN... you typically only have a fraction of your content, known as your working set, in the CDN's working cache.

So you should factor in the bandwidth cost for CDN traffic AND origin pulls, which if you're serving from AWS (and not using CloudFront), is $0.08/GB.

The size of your working set also influences your overall CDN bill. Storage isn't free.

Small to mid-size software companies mostly don't have patents. Naturally they aren't going to be too worried about problems that will only affect them if they are wildly successful. They are more worried about becoming successful in the first place than they are about optimizing their level of success in the unlikely event that they do become that successful.

I actually just realized one potential issue: there are two online payment platforms in China, they are owned by Tencent and Alibaba. If someone piss off both of them, e.g. some business disputes which is not really unheard of, they can choose to just refund all your money left in your account and close it. The consequence is obvious - you would be isolated from a normal life if you live in China.

From that aspect, there are tons to learn from what happened in America.

Copyright only covers distribution. Merely having a copy of something is fine. When you download something from Soundcloud, that's them distributing a copy to you; presumably they have permission to do that. If you then distribute copies of it to other people, then it might be a copyright violation (there are exceptions, and varying laws, and, etc). Just holding on to something that was distributed to you isn't a copyright violation.

I think that would be a pretty safe bet - there'd be no need for the bounty post dvd/bluray release of the movies - while for some blockbusters that's a long time - I'd warrant typically there are only a few screener leaks of each movie - once a copy is out, there's no need for anyone to risk being caught leaking a copy - and release groups tend to be very active in promoting that they were the first to release a film (at a certain quality, screeners being somewhat of a sweetspot between cam releases and waiting for dvd/bluray relases).

So I imagine sending out 10.000 copies, each with a 20 dollar bounty would effectively cost less than 100 dollars in bounty pay outs - with the remainder being at risk for currency inflation.

There'd be little incentive to leave the reminder bounties up after the film is released to DVDs or BluRay.
Not really, most of today's SS7 traffic goes over IP, so if IP is somehow flawed you'll be in trouble in either case.

Luckily IP links are pretty reliable so that's not an issue - VoIP also allows for more resiliency, for example my phone has two independent network connections, mobile and Wi-Fi, and my VoIP provider has two servers (advertised via DNS SRV records). So my VoIP app can try each server over each connection to make a call. A conventional landline or mobile on the other hand has a single link to the telco, so if that's down you're in trouble.

Seconded. Like chess but quicker/more casual and needs no board.
I would get the data first before approaching you and then lie about whether I had already done so. It's the sort of white lie that protects both parties. If your dog died that day, you might just fire me on the spot. Or if I'm making close to market rate, I should STFU and stop trying to microoptimize.

But if I have uncovered a huge pay discrepancy, you have already failed me. Both you and your HR department in fact. Sadly, I suspect that across many individuals, this is a winning strategy because most people don't actively manage their careers (to their detriment).

If the company has cutbacks, everyone's head is on the guillotine and it's time to jump ship anyway before the signal hits the employment market.

That's the default situation, even in software, although more often it's in this form: "Okay, Jon Employee, our company had a bad quarter, we're going to have to ask employees to make some sacrifices." Then Jon Employee is laid off and subsequently has his position filled by somebody much more junior at far more than a 10% discount.

This industry doesn't value engineering experience. It values breadth over depth. There are some exceptions. But the data are what they are.
The reality of an easily verifiable situation is independent of your understanding or agreement with it. I'm unconcerned about convincing you because I've determined you're here in an anonymous capacity to defend no-competes.

I can't really figure out why you would. They only benefit very large organizations attempting to stifle competition and drive down skilled worker wages. Smaller companies can't really afford to consistently enforce them and lots of smaller companies use open moonlighting agreements and a lack of no-compete as a selling point.

But I also don't care. I am not obligated to convince you. Nor am I obligated to pay your little shufflepuck game that ultimately ends up with research behind a paywall you will refuse to follow.

This story: your tactic. It's not new. It's old. I've seen it done before, I've seen it executed better as well. There is nothing more telling than looking at an obvious example of abuse sourced off a reputable news site and saying, "But this is an anecdote and I wanted data."

I am sure you will post protestations about how unfair this is. And it is, somewhat. You bear the burden put upon all anonymous accounts before you. But to be honest, given your complete refusal to even google something and count the results makes me think you're actively defending this practice as opposed to genuinely curious.
That one was the last time ever, pinky swear.

"Get offers from other companies" mean you are doing a job search and interviewing to get a job in that company. Once they offer you a job, you get that offer letter. Most people do this when they are already fed up with their current employer and are ready to move on. So this advice means -- actively search (best time to get a job is when you have a job).

Pitfalls with this advice: your current employer is not dubious. They may know you are actively searching. In addition, once you have an offer and you bring this up -- your current employer will "try" to match that offer to try to keep you. Why? Often times this is the default to avoid disruption and often times you are well-liked and they actually do want to keep you. They may also try to "keep you temporarily" -- until they can replace you. Once you have said "you have an offer" it acts as a flag to you. Which can also mean you may be the first to go if anything happens such as layoffs. Thread carefully.
The 'tip' can be summarised to just 'avoid token sales, you mug'
Interesting counter-example: I learned these lessons in long-term ownership at my first programming job, which I stayed at for 5 years, at a company in the Midwest which most people don't seem to ever leave.

Then I moved to a much larger software market, and I have been job hoping more than once once a year, but because the teams and companies themselves have no notion of long term ownership, preferring instead to cut whatever corners to get the thing right now done most quickly, without regard for the future.
