> How do we put all of that into a smart contract? Can a smart contract trigger payment only when the cotton arrives? Can it check to make sure it arrived on the ship specified in the contract?

I've not worked with smart contracts personally, so take it with a grain of salt, but...

This problem seems to be mostly solved by the information available in shipping manifests; the locations of loading and unloading, the consignee (buyer), container ids, description of goods... all there in a publicly available (at cost) record.

The real difficulty has more to do with verifying the quality - I'll admit I'm at a loss to how that's done today and I can't imagine quality assessors are at the port to verify that container #123 contains the shipment of Grade B+ cotton or map that to an API. As well, what happens when you disagree and your own independent assessor says its Grade B-? This seems like something that would remain up to legal debate; probably denoted in the contract but not verified by it such that lawyers and assessors can handle it should problems arise.

Just my two cents.
This is why America hates you science. Why do you have to always rain on our parade? We just want to believe in gods and magic, is that so much to ask for?
hunter2 supports using DOD CACs (or any other smartcard) to encrypt and share passwords. In hunter2, users are identified by their public keys. Each password can be shared with any user by any user that can decrypt that password.

The DB used is a flat, sorted, text file so it can be stored in a version control system.

It leads one to wonder... what is the "best" place to host servers if you're going to run a darkweb market? Seems like you'd want a place where the government/police/spooks aren't as tech savvy and sophisticated, and perhaps somewhere where the government isn't on the best terms with traditional Western powers.

Venezuela? But do they even have electricity for running servers?

Maybe some smaller African nations? Botswana? Mali? Burkina Faso? Togo? But what's the state of 'net connectivity there? Is sufficient bandwidth available? Are there colo centers or hosting providers there? I honestly don't know...

Other possibilities?
For what it's worth, leafy green affordability and availability is a big concern in urban areas, at least in the USA.
I use password managers, but I think the usual way of thinking about them is wrong

Besides password reuse being not recommended, the main issue is: most websites don't give a eff about whether they store your password correctly or not

It's a trust asymmetry, they ask you to provide a password (and most ask one with a lot of BS restrictions) THEN md5 it and put it on the database, or worse

And as said by the article (and implied by the above paragraph), there are better ways of obtaining someone's password - pwd managers are not the weakest link, at least not now
Similar feelings about my Pebble Time. The Apple Watch throws away the battery life and replaces it with things I don't need. I don't have a heartrate monitor though, and they went out of business before the v2 could add it.

As far as the Apple Watch's heartrate monitoring is concerned, it definitely has one. Not only that, it's significantly more accurate than any other fitness tracker's.

This is exactly what I've done for years. The only difference is that I'm so paranoid about losing my keyfile (and with it all my passwords) that I also put it on the cloud -- just not on the same cloud provider as the keepass database.
Don't worry about getting stuck with Metal any more than you'd worry that learning C# will prevent you from learning C++. What you need to learn are the fundamentals of modern techniques.

I wrote up a recommended path from nothing -> OpenGL -> Vulkan here https://www.reddit.com/r/GraphicsProgramming/comments/6hcri4...

I honestly haven't worked with Vulkan yet, but I hang out with pros from different companies who do and they complain about Vulkan a lot. A whole lot. Part of it is that it is very difficult even for pros to avoid undefined behavior and timing issues. Another is that the only semi-solid shading language front-end for SPIR-V is glsl. Lots of people prefer to work in hlsl and really would like to see Metal's shading language everywhere.
Temple Grandin has a PhD and has Autism. Stephen Hawking is wheelchair-bound and famous as a genius in his field.

Going to Yale is not proof positive that he has no learning disability or other handicap. He talks about failing to initially qualify for the gifted program in school and working to make it happen, then continuing to push. This is what fits the "looks average, but isn't" pattern common for 2xe types.

When I was active in the online gifted community, it was well known that the higher the IQ, the more likely it was that someone also had OCD, ADHD, Asperger's or similar. This was so common that some people referred to such conditions as "comorbidities" of giftedness, in part for lack of a better word, in part because these were support groups for parents of gifted kids. Because they were support groups, it was an environment where people complained a lot about the downside of being smart, which, among other things, tends to come with a boatload of social BS that is incredibly unpleasant.

Even alcohol? Alcohol is the most endangering drug. Because of wide spread use (no competition because in many places it's the only legal drug), addictiveness, toxicity and intrinsic nastiness of influence it has on some users.
Indeed. Just because a conclusion is based on logically fallacious arguments doesn't mean it's untrue, or that the arguments should have no persuasive power whatsoever. (Taken to its logical extreme, even a stopped clock is right twice a day.)

I'm more curious about how the police were able to transfer the operation to servers under their control. Maybe Docker? Haha. My first guess would be that the admins were lazy and never encrypted their systems. Or maybe the cops got them to spill out the password (or hacked it out of one of their systems).

In another hypothetical, I wonder if one can give one's lawyer the (password-protected) decryption key, and he can only release it when one signs a letter saying "I hereby request the keys under my own will with no duress.". If the cops are making him hand over the keys, the lawyer knows that's bullshit and can't legally be allowed to handover said key...
40min each way is a common commute.

Living 5min from Baltimore hyperloop station would give you 15mim on the other side for a 40min overall commute each way.

If you are saving 2k/month on rent you could pay up to 50$ each way and break even. Though, I don't know what tickets would actually cost, that not ridiculous.
No, as I mentioned, I'm a freelancer. Intellectual property for any project is strictly defined in the contract for that project. I'm also operating on my own equipment, as a separate entity, on my own property. Not to mention that clients are actually not allowed to get to specific with when or how I do my work exactly, without breaking some Canadian (and I suspect American), rules related to distinguishing contractors from employees.

Every ear canal is different. That includes left vs right! Try a couple different types and you'll find one that works for you.

The common types are the disposable foam ones (just a simple cylinder or rounded cylinder cut out of foam), the molded flexible ones (kind of like earbuds, you can reuse them), and the moldable ones (wax or silicone balls). My personal preference is for the disposable foam, they're the most comfortable and reliable for my ears. The cheapest disposable foam ones I find are a little hard to use and sometimes uncomfortable, so spending a couple extra bucks on a better brand made a big difference. But different people like different kinds.

The silicone balls and foam earplugs can be bought at the local drugstore and they're fairly inexpensive. The reusable ones you'll find at hardware stores or musical instrument stores. The ones at musical instrument stores are designed to let you hear the music accurately, just quieter. If you want to spend a bit of extra $$ for something great and comfortable, you can get custom-molded earplugs designed to fit your ear canal. If you're a musician who plays live you'll probably want to drop the $700 or so it costs to get custom in-ear monitors.

There's also a bit of technique involved putting the things in so that they stay put, they're comfortable, and they still let you have a conversation. For the disposable foam plugs you can buy everywhere, I roll them into a tiny cylinder, tilt my head at a certain angle, and use my other hand to pull back on my ear to put the plug in. After using them enough times, I've gotten a pretty good feel for three different depths: medium depth for normal loud music, decent comfort, and stays in well; a shallow depth if I need to have conversations with other people while I'm wearing them, but they fall out sometimes; and the deepest depth for when I want to sleep in the middle of a bunch of noise.

Also: don't make a habit out of sleeping with earplugs.

I've definitely been in a few situations where I've gotten shit for wearing earplugs, but as I've gotten older I've stopped caring that other people think I'm lame for wearing them. I always tell them that I love music, and I want to be able to listen to music four decades from now. Just a few stories from people with hearing loss or tinnitus is enough to scare you into wearing earplugs. Just ask Craig Gill.

Against all recommendations I reject all password managers. I feel like all security software is eventually compromised, most frequently by business folks as in this case. Instead I use a tiny notebook that I keep in my wallet. I pick long 12+ character passwords myself, not super randomized but I haven't heard of a brute forcing attack in a long time. It allows me to easily meet weird password requirements. I feel pretty secure that it's not on a computer. Admittedly I also use Firefox's password manager to avoid typing them in all the time. I trust Mozilla for now, though I wouldn't be surprised if they are eventually compromised as their market share goes down.

Yeah, my biggest issue with C/C++ on embedded systems is that it's cumbersome to build useful, safe abstractions of hardware. Almost every manufacturer-provided MCU driver library I've encountered is filled with void* and #define abuse that wouldn't fly in any other type of project.

I once worked on a project where some poor soul took the time to provide a zero-cost abstraction, described in a Scott Meyers presentation[1], for every register on an MCU. This resulted in thousands of lines of C++ template classes, which, while hurting compile times, resulted in a really strong, safe and performant API that drivers could be built upon. It was wonderful to use, but all that upfront work isn't realistic for most projects.

I'd definitely be interested in a language that supports this type of abstraction "natively" (i.e. doesn't require lots of boilerplate code) while providing C-like performance on bare-metal platforms. I know that some people are trying to make Rust fit this hole but I'm not sure how that's coming along.

I drink a fair bit, and I've noticed that drinking water while you drink, and having food in your stomach, are the two main things that help.

Drinking on an empty stomach absolutely wrecks me, every single time, even if I drink a pretty modest amount. It can take over a day to recover.

Not drinking enough water results in more headaches and general aches/pains the next day. Drinking water the next day doesn't seem to help all that much, though if you get up in the middle of the night having some water then can help.

> Yes. Both Overleaf and ShareLaTeX are committed to ensuring that all of the open ShareLaTeX code base will remain open source and will continue to be actively developed.

That's a fairly disengenous answer to the question. The code is AGPLv3+ licensed and they are not the sole copyright holder (it is true that that have a CLA[1] but from a quick reading the CLA says that they "agree to also license the Contribution under the terms of the license or licenses which We are using for the Material on the Submission Date").

What people want to know is whether ShareLaTeX is going to just become a tiny free software part of a larger proprietary platform. It appears to me that this is likely going to be the case, which is a real shame since I've always respected that the entireity of ShareLaTeX was AGPLv3+.

I hope ShareLaTeX doesn't become another victim of "Our Incredible Journey"[2].

The one place that 1Password doesn't meet my needs is in ChromeOS.

The browser plugin requires the machine you're on to have the 1Password app running in the background, which is how it gets its data from the local (and synced) vault. But there is no 1Password ChromeOS app (and I don't think it's really even possible for there to be something like that in ChromeOS), so the browser plugin does not work in Chrome on ChromeOS devices.

A while back, I think the 1Password synced vault files would also have an HTML file you could load up in a browser, which would then communicate locally with the encrypted vault to gain access to your passwords, which was a workaround on ChromeOS. I'm not sure of the security implications of that process, but it isn't supported anymore.

I really like the locally synced vault with browser plugin functionality, but the fact that there isn't a solution on ChromeOS has been a sticking point for me. I've gone the route of having Google store 1Password generated passwords via Chrome's password features, for sites that I regularly access via ChromeOS, which works, but feels excessive.

People having to split small spaces, has the same quality of life impact to most people. There is no misconception of what NYC is, lots of people just don't want the life of either paying a ton of money, or not having what they consider to be a bare minimum amount of space, to not even make more (hell the median salary in NYC is 30K less than Seattle right now!). Being from the east coast, there is little doubt in my mind that NYC is one of the worst deals in the country right now which is correctly reflected in this article. In Seattle: I'm a 10 minute drive, and 20 minute bus commute from my work, and the mortgage on my house + maintenance cost is probably less than or equal to your cost for a portion of an apartment.
