In this society, at this time, knowledge of truth is only effective as motivation for action. Truth as an end in itself is fine, but if the truth isn't something you're comfortable with, there you are, uncomfortable with it. So... now what?

A lot of the people suffering from same type of misinformation-fueled perceptions as OP don't know what to do after learning the "truth". Topple the system by buying gold and burying it in your backyard? How does that work?

Armed rebellion? Versus professional US military? How does that work?

Guerilla warfare against the system? Great, now you're considered terrorists, and the FBI informant in your group gets all of you shut down and imprisoned.

Amass huge numbers, organize protest marches, form a new political party or take over an existing one, and get elected into power? Okay, yes, that will probably work, except you'll never get enough people to join just by seeking the truth. That route requires money and rhetorical acumen, which is in no way related to truth. People don't vote for truth; they vote for what feels good.

As the old GI Joe cartoons often repeated, knowing is half the battle. You still need the "doing" half. Knowing that the whole world is run by money in the interests of those who have a lot of it is like knowing that the tides go in and out twice a day. What do you actually do with that information? Treasure hunting in tidepools? Fishing? Moving your beach chairs and umbrella? Designing an engine to harness power from wave energy? Collecting driftwood? Standing in one spot and slowly drowning yourself over a span of 6 hours?

You may be surprised at how often people espouse a plausible, believable hypothesis to explain some part of world politics, and then follow it up with either "so give me your money" or "so go build an intergalactic interocitor and infuse it with orgone energy and essential lavender oil". The former is preying upon the fears of weak people, and the latter is just useless lunacy.
Threat of Missed Opportunities How to Boost Revenues with Insider Threat Expertise
You don't "report" to CustOS directly, rather you simply move the money from one of the CustOS "bounty" private keys into one of your own.

Effectively it does the same thing but I think psychologically it's pretty different. For one thing you know that the bitcoin transaction will be very hard to trace (you can't be betrayed by your IP address or something like that) and you don't really rat anybody, you're just moving bitcoins. If you don't have any direct relationship with the original leaker (say, you downloaded the file through bittorent on some private tracker) there's really no incentive not to claim the bounty. It's free money.

I wonder what happens if a legitimate recipient of one of these copies decides to claim the bounty without actually leaking anything. Could they be in trouble? If people accuse them of leaking a copy and they show that they have control of the coins, will they be off the hook? Do they have to sign something that forbids them from using the key?

If you were bored playing Monopoly, you were probably not playing with the real rules (i.e. you had no auctions, you used free parking, etc).

Played correctly, Monopoly isn't a terribly long game, and (usually) once someone gets ahead, it is a fairly quick steamroll.

Demystify everyday sensors thx to electronic paper toys ;)
Why do you need all this? Just authenticate the video file with a digital signature. It is even possible to build it into the video encoding itself, and I am almost certain there are already research papers on this, if not implementations.
Are biological weapons being used to mass murder people a natural extrapolation of ransomware?
You're confusing hardware speed with the software/IPC measurement - the fastest VAX machine ever made ran at 100Mhz (or maybe 120), with 10Mbit ethernet and SCSI-2 I/O paths (1MB/s on a disk or so).

If you found a 486/100 and compared raw compute speed, the vax would likely have won for most cases, because it has 4x the registers.

I'm not actually sure about the clustering IPC performance, but you are essentially comparing hardware about 3-4 generations apart and blaming the software for the issues.. if you were comparing with 500MHz Alphas, etc, then you might have a point..
The article goes on to explain that Manchester's bike share is working, doing 4,000 trips a day, that of their 1,000 bike fleet only 50 so far have been trashed, and that Mobike is proactive about recovering bikes being kept on private property when not in use.
The best thing that I've found for getting rid of body odour is to wash with bicarbonate of soda. Just buy a large pack and instead/in addition to soap.

Deodorant sprays are just perfume which attempt to cover up the smell, but don't get rid of it. So you end up smelling of both deodorant and body odour.
Sounds like the appropriate solution for OP's use case of the wife looking at them on the TV.
Hah, now some pirate is going to try and figure out how to get all of the private keys :P
Some days I get 5 of these calls per day. It's gotten to the point that I pay $2/month for an app subscription on my iPhone that blocks most of them. Unfortunately, it can't stop them from leaving voicemails or block numbers on the same area code & exchange as you.

I believe some of them are because literally 5 years ago, I registered a domain without using WHOIS privacy. Some of them are probably from other marketing lists, like the USPS change of address forms, and some is likely just random.
There is a drain / purge endpoint you could look into for scaling down workers.

Admittedly I don't do it often, but I haven't experienced a problem with it when I have.
Yea this has been my experience. I usually don't mention that I have an offer but just ask for a meeting and explicitly ask for more money. I never get it and just hand in my 2 weeks about a week after the meeting. Maybe if I revealed that I had an offer I may have gotten a raise but I don't want to work somewhere where I need to "have leverage" to get what I deserve and what's fair.

I'm a digital nomad. I'd like something a bit more exciting than simple card or dice games, but space is at a bit of a premium. Any recommendations for games that have a lot of depth (and thus can be played over and over), are very quick to pick up the basics (so we can teach others), and are physically tiny (or can be)?

So it was their website that got hacked, not their cryptocurrency widget (or whatever the appropriate term is)?

I mean, not unexpected: hit the softest part of the chain, which in this case seems to be a webserver rather than the crypto/contract. Just trying to make sure my understanding is correct.

The Practice of Ritual Defamation (1990)
Frankly, when was the _last_ time you launched a startup? Why would you waste money on a technology stack which is essentially the physical manifestation of vendor lock-in and rent seeking, all but guaranteed to grow in cost in lock step with the size of your wallet? It's hard enough to find superlative software engineers and operations staff to work on more mainstream technologies; where are you going to recruit staff proficient in a technology stack alien to most everybody, who also want to shoulder the risk of joining your startup venture?

No matter how much IBM wishes it were not so, we've reached a point where you absolutely _can_ (and should) do your computing on a substantially more open platform -- where more than one vendor can provide each layer of the stack that you build on!
This was bound to happen at some point... It'll be interesting to see how low the dip goes as a result of this ICO failure.
1. See last paragraph in my post's argument 1. The point I raise is that it makes no sense for people to be so outraged and vocal about miner's energy use and apparently don't care about much bigger energy users/wasters by multiple orders of magnitude... At the very least this makes critics hypocrites as they themselves waste energy and don't to care about it (eg. driving a car with low fuel efficiency.)

3. It's not a fallacy. If X is worthwhile to society, and if the only one way to obtain X is to spend energy doing Y, and if alternative uses of this energy are not clearly superior (for example doing Z), then Y is not an energy waste. X = permission-less censorship-resistant decentralized financial network. Y = mining. Z = for example building desalination plants to provide clean water to third-world countries.

4. You seem to recognize the validity of this argument :) See the reference I give in the post: https://venturescannerinsights.wordpress.com/2015/09/04/the-... these are not mining companies.

5. This argument shows that even if you are unconvinced by arguments 1-4 and holds the view that mining is wasteful, you should at least recognize that it is becoming less and less wasteful over time.
> ok what ML platform would one run on it?

Not sure, but it will definitely be called "Watson"
This seems to be the same problem that many open-source projects have, where the md5 hash to verify your download is at a single, (often the same) location.

One possible solution would be to use Twitter pinned tweet to also announce the address, however it's questionable how many people would actually cross check.
I work ~85% remote for a Bay Area startup, and I'm sure every company is different, but I would say roughly 9-5 with a strong expectation that if something happens over the weekend or I need to be on a call with a customer in India late at night that I will be there. So call that that 9-5 with 24/7 on-call, 7 days per week.
'Hacked' - or just stolen. Who could ever know in crypto-land? I am sure the ICO contract had something about lost coins in it as well.
I agree, it's recommended to read a summary of all his texts.

Agreed, and I have donated as well. I especially like the advanced sorting options they have added reciently.
Where does the amount in the title ("45k ether") come from? I didn't see that in the article.

EDIT: Apparently from https://etherscan.io/address/0x6a164122d5cf7c840D26e829b46dC... , which is something I don't have the depth of knowledge to assess for myself.
Can you share your current job role?

Why would Google Amazon enter a market with 1 massive competitor losing billions subsidizing its rides?

Why wouldn't they develop their own self-driving technology while at the same time assisting in the building of using ride sharing as a habit, and simply wait until uber goes out of business or retreats even further into "profitable" markets before unleashing their low cost self-driving fleet into those markets previously dominated by a heavily subsidized uber?

oh wait a minute ...
"What makes math beautiful?" Having it rendered correctly would be a good start.

Maybe it doesn't work just for me, but displaying "a2 + b2 = h2" in article about math is really ungraceful degradation.

I am not saying that alternative medicines work better than mainstream medicine. All I am saying is that you can't immediately dismiss alternative medicine. There is a lot of nonsense going on but also a lot of useful stuff.

What's to stop the intended recipient of the movie from intentionally and unabashedly claiming the bitcoins for themselves.
SO, as a placebo it's performing a useful function? Alternatively, develop a backbone and do what you think is right regardless of criticism.

No, homeopathy is the art of selling water to people who need medicine, and telling them its medicine. Its actually evil, in the sense that its lying to make money, and hurting somebody who trusts you. As mentioned, at best there's no harm because there was no need. But nowhere in the process is there any reason to believe instinct will magically kick in when real medicine is needed.
Now we just need some way to digital sign speeches (and hopefully eventually with quantum cryptography).

I'm not sure how but perhaps this could actually improve the issue of fake news with or least the assimilation if there as a broader realization how easily things can be faked... probably not though (I'm eternally an optimist).

DropBox still can't handle over 300,000 files
I've never seen anyone comment on this, but games used to cost $60 15 years ago and $60 today, but back then it was more money due to inflation. If they sell the same number of copies at full price, they make less money, and selling a game at straight up more than 60 dollars would be weird at this point
I don't understand how any of these ICO companies are valued so high. If they had to raise this 12mil from VC/PE would they still be valued the same ?
That comment hurt your feelers?

A less charitable interpretation: letting non-ad-blocking others provide enough value / pay the bills makes ads ok but captchas are not ok because they level the playing field / are required.

In theory, no ad revenue will eventually lock out the site too.
Concourse makes use of a feature of the kernel that is not compiled in on all distros.

Archlinux for example does not compile in user namespaces. Vagrant is the most cross-platform option for quick local concourse testing.
You seem to be contradicting yourself then if you say "iCab started almost a year after Uber" when you wrote above that: " But I have a conflict of interest here because in 2008 I made my own attempt at starting an Uber-like thing (I called it iCab).

Uber was not yet a thing until 2009.

Have you ever talked to someone with chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia or chronic pain? They constantly get dismissed and treated as if they were imagining things.
To claim that those societies didn't survive solely because they weren't monogamous, patriarchal societies is either profoundly ignorant or intellectually dishonest. Societies don't survive for many different reasons, usually become some other foreign society with natural advantages (due to their geography) outcompete or conquer them. Go read "guns, germs, and steel".

>"It matters" because, like it or not, evolutionary biology is a thing

You're missing the point that contraceptive technology is here now, and not going away, so what may have worked in the past is no longer applicable because of this. Contraception changes everything.
1) It marks them as a "leaker"
2) If you keep claiming the bitcoins, you are going to stop getting videos sent to you. This could have professional implications.

The pirates aren't going to claim the bitcoin, it's the people who download the pirated files.
People lost like half a million dollars and a talented immoral person got a huge reward signal for basically being a predatory jerk. Although I can see the humor, it seems unreasonable to derive joy from such a thing.
Spotify has a horrible UI for podcasts. Pocket Casts, which I use, is near perfect.
I get paid over $95 per hour working from home with 2 kids at home. I never thought I'd be able to do it but my best friend earns over 10k a month doing this and she convinced me to try. The potential with this is endless. Heres what I've been doing,

Because it's easy to say "the employee is just doing the job they're paid to do, why give them a raise?". Also, "we need to give an extra 20% to convince this person to come aboard, whereas we already own these employees".
These are the 6 Principles you need to live in a successful life
10-6. Software engineer at a large web company. Some people come in earlier, some later. The expectation is mostly around getting the job done, not how much time you spend in your seat. Also, be there for meetings. If I'm ever invited to a 9am meeting, I will be there and would expect anyone else to do the same. Most meetings would not be scheduled at that time unless there's no other options though.
I've not once gotten a robocall on my mobile phones in Sweden or Japan.

What are these countries doing differently? More expensive calls? (I know that in the US as opposed to other countries the receiver pays the extra costs of a mobile call vs the caller, even if these days those extra costs may be zero with "all you can eat" style plans)
That only works when the money is tied to one of the core developers. Don't worry though, blockchains are immutable and safe from centralization.
What about lunch break ?
I hoped it was clear I was discussing this topic beyond what the article says. After all, that is what comment sections are for.
My post used the term "application", but I could have written the same thing using the term "website" instead.

I don't think using 1,000 different websites is more sustainable than using 1,000 different applications. The same problems I listed apply in both cases.

We need to completely dissociate the client/interface from the service provider.
That's a bummer since Coindash appears to have an MVP and a reasonable funding cap of $12MM. I wouldn't wish this on anyone, but it's unfortunate it didn't happen to one of the scammy ICO's instead.

On a side note showcasing the ridiculousness of some of these ICOs, [1]"Useless Ether Token" (UET) raised around $45k and literally doesn't do anything.

Thanks for putting so much time and effort into this. This is definitely not "Yet-another-intro-to-ML".
Where's the news?! Why do people continue to bang heads against the wall with this madness? Unless you're a thief, how is the craptocurrency thing better than my credit card that's insured from unauthorized use and gives me a cash back?! Yeah, you can't speculate with credit cards, and get rich quick, because $1 = $1 like forever, but isn't that what the real investment tools are for?
This isn't correct and is downright misleading.

There are many possible scenarios. IE people will hold the Ether under the assumption that it will be more valuable in the future. If the supply of "sellers" goes down and the number of "buyers" stays constant, the price will continue to go up (ignoring new ETH being created for simplicity).

As to how ETH could become valuable? Well if the network really does scale and the possibility for decentralized apps really does come to pass, then this is an incredibly transformative technology with a lot of potential, that runs on ETH.

Ponzi schemes are scams because there is no value created, and it is known to the scammers that there is no value being created. With crypto currencies the value is big "unknown" which is why it's speculative, but it certainly isn't a "scam" sense there is true potential there.

How much of a premium does this run you vs shopping for yourself?
Why? Looks the same to me.

Edit: just to clarify why they look the same to me: they're both applying "treatments" which have no particular basis to think they'd affect things, to a problem which naturally goes away over time, and then later attributing the disappearance of the problem to the "treatment" rather than to the passage of time.
I worked on OpenVMS at the start of my career. I heard that the customer didn't want to port away from OpenVMS and this prevented HP from killing it off. One famous story in VMS folklore was where a building containing a datacenter catches fires and Unix admins run into the building to retrieve the backup disks and OpenVms admin do not since clustering give hot backup by default. Another story was of banks having data centers near the twin towers. The datacenters go down since the air conditioners go down due to the dust from the twin towers crashing. But the OpenVms cluster continue to operate since the half of the cluster is in New Jersey.

It was ported to Itanium while the x84 port and the POSIX compatibility project was never completed.
