This is exactly right, and the problem that our government just doesn't seem to 'get'.

If you want to stop people from doing something, you can't just take away their source, they will find another.. you have to give them a BETTER source.

With media, streaming services have done more to cut down in piracy than anything else.. it's convenient, so people will do it. If you're only paying a few dollars a month to save the frustration of finding movies/music, waiting to download, vs just clicking and having it right there. This is why things like Kodi were so popular, it's all about convenience.

Now drugs are not movies, but similar rules apply. Say one is addicted to heroin, and suddenly their source is taken away.. do you think they will just decide "Oh well, I am done with heroin now!", no, they will find another source. If you want to REALLY make a difference, give them a better/safer source, and help them. No one says "I want to be addicted to heroin", they have issues that cause them to be dependent on the drug (often pain). We DESPERATELY need to follow the lead of other countries and start providing drug havens for addicts. So many people die in this country ever year of opiate overdoses, with the solution right in front of our eyes (look at EU countries with drug clinics), but we refuse to do anything about it because our antiquated dinosaur politicians are afraid they will look like they support drug use; how they appear to the 1% is more important to them than saving tens of thousands of lives every year.
Much like being in a kind of depressive state from time to time is now considered depression because you need to be at 100% productive all the time.
It sounds like you're both in agreement that it doesn't seem realistic. What jacquesm is explaining is that the intention of "smart contracts" is to work entirely outside the existing legal system. There is no need for adjudication of any contract by a court because the contract is the law and the court.

Put in X out comes Y,every time. No room for interpretation, just pure beautiful math. That was the idea anyway, for some reason it seems they decided to implement some of these contracts in a not particularly rigorous way.

Jacques is talking about the theory and premise behind the smart contracts, and you Marco are talking about the people interacting with the smart contracts. People who of course are existing under the scope of our present legal systems.

As long as real people can be hauled before a real court

I think this is the crux of the misunderstanding. Because actions can be taken in these crypto-systems more or less anonymously, it is not obvious that you can "haul some one before a real court" should they wrong you in some way, and in those cases when you have parties interacting in these systems anonymously, the laws of the crypto-systems are the extent of the laws they are operating under. Provided extensive investigative effort isn't undertaken to unmask anyone operating anonymously.

The article authors' headline "Why Finland’s Basic Income Experiment Isn’t Working" is misleading. It suggests that they are commenting on information about how the experiment is going. Instead, they criticize only the trial's approach, which was known before it began.

There is a comment about the sample size having been reduced to a fifth of the original proposal. But my previous sentence is the entire content in the article relating to how the experiment is going.

Everything else in the article is commentary about the original proposal and unrelated to the experiment's progress.
I really don't think they should have that level of control over something 65,000 which they may have no connection too.

More worrying is that I read previously that they had veto rights over any published findings as well, which creates all sorts of integrity problems.
> I mean some of these things have bugs still, but generally when you have something of fixed scope then there are less bugs over time. Especially if you're restricting your scope to something simple

I'm guessing that smart contracts tend to be relatively short and simple? I mean I would never bet on an entire web/mobile app being bug free because the surface to attack is enormous but e.g. a sorting algorithm or something small in scope can be formally verified to be bug free as long as your specification is accurate.
>The world is larger than just your own country.

Not too much larger, considering that every major company and country has large amounts of assets and other financial interests that are subject to US jurisdiction. The government of Argentina recently learned that the hard way when American courts forced them to honor their sovereign debt, or have their US-based assets seized to pay them. The same applies if you want to do business in India, China, or Europe. Submit to their judgments or see your assets and interests in their jurisdiction confiscated or destroyed. Another recent example of this is French courts applying the "right to be forgotten" extraterritorially.

>No, a judge will never order anybody to enter into a different smart contract just like they don't order people into regular contracts today.

They certainly do, in effect. A court judgment very often creates new obligations between the parties. And if entering a new smart contract is the only way to right some legal wrong, then they can order that too. An American court, at least, can order just about anything it needs to in order to enforce its judgments.

Wayland is probably going to be the default in all the next stable releases (RHEL, debian (is it already the case?), Ubuntu). Not supporting it sounds risky.
Is there a reason you would ever want to do this in the real world or is this just pushing the boundaries for the sake of experimenting?

I’m not sure what the use case is for adding an extra layer of azure infrastructure on top of the existing azure infrastructure. I assume it costs more than just running on azure directly and doesn’t really get you any privacy/efficiency/performance benefits since it’s still running on the azure cloud. Perhaps it makes migration/deployment easier in some way?

I grew up in SJ. I don't think it will ever be a 'thing' if you're young and want things to do in a vibrant city, even if it does have Pedro square, Santana Row, close access to Santa Cruz and SF, etc. That being said, if you're looking for a quiet place to live with your family then it's a great city. IBM Research has a couple campuses in between SJ and Morgan Hill - probably interesting places to work.
It should depend on age: 10 year behind bars for a 18yo destroys more than 10 years for a 65yo.
the agreements we did have included that we don't disclose their names. I did not see the exact wording and don't know if they extend beyond the due diligence, so to be on the save side I'd rather zip it.

Plus I think a write-up of guide lines or red flags that one should watch out for during a DD or when talking to a VC might help more than just name calling. What worked the last time: Google their names and go past page 1 (Most seem to know how to alter their search results)
Depends on your level of paranoia. I use an encrypted file on disk to store a client and keys. I back this up offsite incase I get ransomwared. That's good enough for me.

Why is it so hard to get published when you attempt to reproduce a study and fail to do so? Papers rejected by the journals the published the original research is apparently the norm.
Yes, I wasn't saying that the one had not bugs, all software may have some of them, I was only saying that the risks of introducing more, new ones when changing completely a software (or rewriting it) are bigger.

As someone living in the Midwest and telecommuting to SFBA, that's almost unbelievable to me. I pay less than that for my brand new and quite nice 5/4 house on almost half an acre of land.

With all of the remote work available, why would you stay here? I manage a team with two remote-friendly job openings currently. You could work for me and go live in Telluride, CO for less than that East Bay 1br and still have money left over.

Then it should definitely be captured in the story. As a potential conflict of interest.

Unlikely, as the PC market is basically stable or even shrinking slowly.
Assuming you live in a certain subset of countries, sure that could happen (take a look at what happens when an American sues a Chinese citizen). But it defeats the purpose of a smart contract.

If everyone agrees that smart contracts will pay out when they are fufilled. But only if they are fufilled in the specific way each party believes they should be (as opposed to what the code actually says)--then there is no point in smart contracts.

A potential solution is some form of very explicit disclaimer that states you are agreeing X should be paid when the code in contract Y executes, not when the condition you believe the code in contract Y tests for is met.

Of course a court could still ignore the disclaimer.
> usually a more difficult path than gaming on Windows

Just to speak against this notion (which absolutely used to be true, no contest there): anecdotally, I don't find that to be true anymore, at least using Steam.

It works really smoothly for me, just as on Windows. In fact I'm just about ready to drop Windows as a gaming plaform. Maybe some titles aren't available for Linux, but I still have enough to fall back on.
Or maybe to understand the deployment process before doing it for real?
It's great to hear that you don't do any drugs at all. I'm assuming you don't drink coffee/tea, wine/beer, smoke, or take any pharmaceutical medications. Congratulations on not being a hypocrite! You are in the proud 0.0001% of people who follow this strict code.

For the rest of us mere mortals, I suppose we will have to continue taking our medications.
>This so that some guy in China or India and some guy in the United States can agree on terms without having to haggle over whose legal jurisdiction will kick in

>there is no way around a smart contract environment that actually works.

What about the present system where people develop trusting relationships in business and elsewhere and deal with the occasional anomalies and breaches of trust as they arise, but in the big picture they're not really a deal breaker because they are relatively rare and we humans are wired for socially harmonious behaviour and mutually beneficial actions. Is that a way around it? It seems to have been working decently well thus far in terms of facilitating extensive commercial networks around the world.

I changed from LastPass to 1Password for big part because it was "pay once, use forever" instead of LastPass' subscription service. It hasn't even been 3 years since I switched and I paid what felt like a lot of money, but I figured that it would still be less over all in comparison. Now I can't get my vault to sync on my Windows machine and last time I reinstalled my Mac it was a hunt for the right executable.

I've been considering just going back to LastPass, but it all seems like a hassle. Why am I even paying for these companies if I can't rely on them? I should be paying because I don't want to deal with this shit. Which is ironically why I've toyed around using ownCloud and KeePassXC
I assumed not, but after reading this thread it seems this may be possible?

It's crazy that it isn't clear.
by serendipity I clicked through on this link and sgentle's link to Kay on McLuhan and the following sentence comes remarkably close to my experience of the two presentations of the Selection task:

> .. the most important thing about any communications medium is that message receipt is really message recovery: anyone who wishes to receive a message embedded in a medium must first have internalized the medium so it can be “subtracted” out to leave the message behind.

(a tangent, but perhaps interesting)
Not really because then you would need to implement composition from different processes yourself, instead many are using Qt Wayland https://wiki.qt.io/QtWayland to implement it. One of those implementations is https://doc.qt.io/QtApplicationManager/ which uses wayland to compose the UI from 3rd party applications, which run in a sandbox, inside of the System UI.
This is one of my favorite things about Australia, because science has absolutely no explanation for how humans arrived in Australia that long ago.

It massively predates any boats, and there are no boats in the history of the Aboriginals.

In fact nobody has even really bothered to try an explain it, because it's way, way, way outside the story that everyone came out of Africa.
Do not compare it to linters they serve a different purpose. Editorconfig is for using the right editor settings, linters are for programmatically checking and formatting code. So Editorconfig and a linter should be used together.

I'm surprised no-one is calling "regression towards the mean" on this.
Yeah, especially coming back from China where you don’t have to worry upon missing a train since the next one will be there in a couple minutes. BART trains come extremely infrequently, it’s especially annoying when you just missed the train and you’d almost rather get out of the station and walk/Uber but you’ve already paid.

What is the reason for this? Do they not have enough trains? Is it a safety issue? Do they not have enough conductors/drivers/personal? Is it an engineering problem, a money problem, something else? Seems like increasing train frequency would alleviate a lot of the stress on the system and be relatively inexpensive.
I got news for you, buddy, no one cares what you want them to respond with. When you make garbage arguments you will get called out.
If you overturn every single conviction that involves a bent cop, then you will in all likelihood free both the innocent and the guilty. It the principle of ""It is better that ten guilty persons escape than that one innocent suffer"

An "unsafe" conviction is not the same as proof positive of innocence, just no longer meeting the necessary standard of proof. It may be necessary to overturn a number of convictions but isn't easy.

You seem angry, I'm absolutely not trying to apologize for this behaviour. But it is a mess, and the consequences of the mess ought to be severe so that it doesn't happen.

If you aren't the one attempting falsifying it, then you still have to trust somebody based on their credentials.
There are also other consequences:

- vulnerabilities can be used to attack users directly or through social engineering

- (rare today, but definitely a problem with C++ web apps) you can break through a hole in the app and pwn the whole server

I read the first two sections of On Writing and that was enough for me. The first is a memoir from Stephen King in which he goes through major events in his life. The second is a writing style guide which centers around one theme: simplicity in writing allows for greater imagination in the reader. The second section goes through sentence structure, syntax, verb/adverb choice, pronoun placement, ect.

I would agree that the first section does not say a great deal about writing, but the second section reminded me of sitting in my High School english class with my favorite teacher writing a couple sentences on the board as an example and passionately (oops) dissecting the structure with arrows and margin notes to explain how and why a certain picture was playing in my mind while reading them.

Placing King's personal anecdotes and thoughts about the "life of a writer" before the actual lesson felt to me, when I began the second section, like I was sitting in the classroom of an artist who has far more passion for his work than I have ever felt for anything in my life before then. It made the writing lesson more impactful, if anything.

But it certainly had a lot to say about writing.
Have you tried using something like this? https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/PCI_passthrough_via_OVM...

You get near native performance in a VM, the downside being it's a little tricky to set up and you won't be able to use your 970 in Linux.
You're wrong in dismissing a correct but inefficient solution as babbling. I won't respond to your other wrong conclusion that follows from this wrong starting point.
It was in this one (http://www.abc.net.au/news/science/2017-07-20/aboriginal-she...) from the (Australian) ABC, which I assume is the nytimes source:

> Under the agreement, the Mirarr people have had a right to veto the excavation at any time, control over the artefacts and final say about findings announced about the site.

This leaves it open to abuse like we see in other fields where they can conduct an experiment 10 times and only publish the result that comes out how they want.

For the record, I have no reason to believe the scientists involved are being dishonest, but imposing these conditions should not be acceptable.

>Eventually people will generally understand that contracts require serious correct engineering, and you'll be able to capitalize on expertise.

No one gets paid for exploiting a minor hole in a bridge, causing it to collapse. They will by finding holes in smart contracts, as evidenced.

Bug bounty programs do not exist to provide alternative means of financial remuneration for black hat hackers. They exist to provide white/grey hat hackers an opportunity to get paid for doing the right thing. And yet black hat hackers still sell zero-days to rogue governments and operatives.

Why do you think this bug bounty model of securing smart contracts will be any different? Capitalizing on expertise against smart contracts has its own reward with a shorter feedback cycle than selling zero-days: You directly profit from finding security breaches and stealing money.
What do you mean? I've been working as a developer in Germany for 5 years now, and I'm only now getting a CS degree. There is a vocational training for software developers, bit it's nowhere near required.
I think your vision of things is the ideal, but it also isn't always practical. If you live a 30 minute drive (or more) away from everyone you know, and service-workers / fellow consumers (people at the grocery store, etc) are anonymous to you, scheduled interaction may be your only interaction.

Of course, that also speaks to a profound failure of urban design and a desolate hellscape. Human-scale communities where you're a 10-30 minute _walk_ from your friends make this sort of less-forced living much easier.
>I wonder how do you ride your plane then?

I don't fly air superiority missions, so I don't generally consider it. Your point is probably valid for Air Force and Navy pilots, I guess.
This sounds like a giant strawman to me. Where do programmers get the idea that a mode called 'shuffle' would call for sampling with replacement? The obvious software analogy to shuffling would be re-ordering a list randomly, not randomly drawing from a list.

I think this whole shuffling meme started with Spotify's engineers misunderstanding what they were asked to do, then claiming their customers don't know what they want when they obviously delivered the wrong feature.
Not really, I'm not interested in running Windows. I do run some Linux guest VMs on Linux host, mostly for building purposes, in order not to mess up the main system :) And passthrough itself is a interesting method of course.

I think the problem is that the language for smart contracts that backs Ether hasn't been written with formal verification in mind. You could apply formal methods to anything after the fact but it doesn't look like they've made this easy here. You could claim that a C program could be made bug free eventually by applying formal methods for example but it would require a huge amount of work.

Is there a good reason they didn't use a battle tested pure functional language with a strong and expressive type system?
