Well, the coins have to come out of that wallet eventually, and you can trace where they go.. so.. I wonder if there will ever be any attempt by a government to extradite somebody based on stolen crypto.
Your method may be better, but there are a lot of small and medium projects in the wild that don't follow it.
Reminds me of this story

> The story goes that Milton Friedman was once taken to see a massive government project somewhere in Asia. Thousands of workers using shovels were building a canal. Friedman was puzzled. Why weren't there any excavators or any mechanized earth-moving equipment? A government official explained that using shovels created more jobs. Friedman's response: "Then why not use spoons instead of shovels?"

Presumably you want to reply to DNS requests for a hostname for your captive portal. You might try to just use a raw ip address, but then you can't use https. So then you have the problem that you can't just reply with a fake answer for other domains due to caching. E.g. Windows caches negative responses for 5 minutes, which would be a pretty bad experience for your customers.

I guess you might be able to just fail to reply to DNS requests for domains outside you captive portal, I have no idea if anyone has tried that or there might be other complications.

Edit: Actually not replying wouldn't work great either because then the user can't be redirected to the captive portal. This might be less of an issue today since most devices have standardized a way to detect captive portals using a small set of hostnames.
> You're not considering that these people are living month-to-month so they don't have 5K lying around

Uhhh.... I said

> I'm not trying to say that saving isn't hard, but I'm calling BS on your $10k number. A few grand is a number close to which you can save and borrow from friends/family.

I'm also suggesting that the cost (from experience and our estimate above) that it is far less than 10k to move. I also acknowledge the difficulty of the task and realize that you might not be able to do it independently. I did say that I recently did just this. So, please read the entirety of a comment before replying.

> otherwise you just erased all your savings to move to a place with a lower job prospects.

Who said that? Have a job lined up first. Consider cost of living changes. I'm not saying to just pick up your bags and determine where to move by throwing a dart at a map. You can line up a job. You can line up housing. You can line up your travel and moving so you only lose a few days of work. This is literally how I did it. No, it isn't trivial, but it also isn't that difficult. Especially if you're really open to where you move to. You're making an unreasonable assumption here, and I don't appreciate the red herring. As for erasing ALL your savings? Yeah, I've been there, done that. Sucks, but it is making an investment in yourself. And IMO a good investment.
Discoverability is a bit of a weird metric, if you have very few tabs you don't really need discoverability since you just put the tabs there. So this isn't really strictly worse when you have many tabs.
While I understand the Pi Foundations "one per order/customer" rule - I share your frustration. There's a bunch of ideas I've got where 10 or so Pi Zeros would be both useful and affordable @ $5 ea or even $10 for the ZeroW, but I just can't buy them like that...

I wanted to make a "real working" diagram of our standard AWS platform as a wall chart - with 3 ELB load balancers, 5 autoscaling ec2 instances (3 "active" and two "spares"), and 3 "multi-az" RDS db servers - each represented by a Pi Zero, with ws2811 led strip running between them representing the network which lights up animating packet/data flow. It'd have big red killswitches next to everything, so you can push buttons to kill off bits of infrasructure and visualise how the platform responds (with the spare ec2 instances autoscaling in to replace dead ones, ELB and RDS traffic auto-rerouting). And I'd use this to run our "standard" backend, so people could connect with their phone (with a browser or test app) and "see" their own network traffic and watch how it still works even if you kill any 2 and up to 8 different parts in the right combination.

I think that'd be a really useful way to demonstrate to non-technical stakeholders why if they want better response times that "we'll get to that Monday morning" when something breaks after 5pm on a Friday - I'm going to charge them _way_ more to support their site if it's running on a $5 or $10 per month VPS than if they spend $120/month or so on AWS to host it.

(Oh, and I second zapt02's recommendation for the NextThing CHIP - I've got half a dozen of those, and they're working out really well in other projects - but I've also got another 5 on order and have been waiting several month for em...)

To just repeat what others have said: nobody is advocating outlawing those tools.

To add something: When you're running such a service and care about the right to privacy, you should try to minimise its use for illegal purposes whenever possible.

It's quite counterproductive to glorify that criminal activity as some sort of heroic effort in defence of privacy rights, and gloating about it with a sort of haha-cant-stop-the-terrorist-inyourface. Because, yes, if your privacy tool becomes useful enough for that clientele to cause significant harm, people will start supporting its ban.

Just some design thoughts that you could consider:

I think you could better separate the actionable filter items from the branding parts. So, in a thin top tier, have your brand top left, "Find conferences near you" in the middle, and perhaps "Add a conference" top right. This will give you more room to fit conferences on screen - at the moment it's a bit sparse - 500px before I get to the listing itself.

Then you can have the filters and search boxes in their own area and have more room to make it really obvious that their use impacts the list below without the line "Know a conference..." in between.

You could consider updating "Upcoming conferences" with info pertaining to the search. e.g., "Conferences in Jul-Sep 2018".

I can appreciate that "18" alone saves space, but my first thought was that it was September 18th. You could use 2018 or '18 maybe?

Put a max width on the conference icons and a margin on the right - the widest ones are butting up against their names.

If he wants to give his own money away, cool. But there are a lot of problems with the idea of a UBI that are not solved by rich people admitting "I wouldn't have gotten here without first having a basic level of privilege."

It isn't just "luck" that got him there. It was education, connections, hard work and many other things. I have alimony in about the amount that many people suggest for UBI. Yes, that has been a good thing, but it hasn't gotten me insider connections, magically taught me to code or solved many other problems that need to be solved in order for me to become rich.

There is just so much more going on that people like Mark Zuckerberg apparently fail to see. It isn't just the money they had that helped them leapfrog to the position they currently occupy. Simply throwing money at this problem will not make poor people the next multi-billionaires.
> I do know that focusing on jwz is not relevant.

You could have made your point yourself, but you quoted jwz at length because you felt it loaned more credibility to the idea than if you had used your own words. I guess that was your intent, and I could be entirely wrong, but I don't blame someone else for making that conclusion.

Because you create wealth by producing goods and services. Jobs are a cost, not the end goal. Sacrificing production for jobs gets it exactly backwards and makes us, in the aggregate, poorer, even though it makes a few people richer.
That's not the case for every cryptocurrency, though. Some are untraceable.
Can you provide a few examples of the ample historical evidence for that "inevitable result"? I'm looking for one or two cases where a private monopolist entered a competitive market, managed to shut down competitors with predatory pricing, and then raised prices afterwards to higher levels than when they entered the market.

This is one of those claims that sounds plausible, but I've yet to encounter a historical case of it actually occurring.

"Once self-driving cars hit, the switch will be immediate and massive. I would predict 10% to 90% penetration in probably less than 12 months--the limitation will simply be building the cars fast enough. That's a lot of people suddenly with no income."

It will probably take 12 months just to form the exploratory committee that will form the actual committee that will even begin to consider legalizing fully driverless cars.

This change involves many levels of government bureaucracy. It will happen, but it's definitely not going to be "immediate".
I was one of the original advisory board members of DevMountain (and father of one of the three founders). I also run an entrepreneur bootcamp in Utah, where DevMountain is located. This assertion about the founders of DevMountain "checking out" is unfounded. Sure, they are now wealthier than they were and have security and may seem more at ease (a natural occurrence after an exit), but they take their continuing roles seriously. Only one of the three to date has "retired" (about 8 months after the acquisition) and the other two (including my son) are still there working every day. Capella has been pleased with them. Also, just 10 minutes ago I heard about some exciting things being worked on and arranged by the founders -- innovative approaches to the industry. These two founders are still the top two leaders in the DevMountain subsidiary of Capella. They continue to innovate in the areas of coding bootcamp curriculum development, student success, marketing, and much more. As a side note, Capella has been a great acquirer, basically leaving DevMountain as it was, only adding some financial clout and general oversight, leaving the original DevMountain CEO in that position with nearly full discretion over the enterprise.

It's not a simple issue, but there are many complexities you seem to have overlooked. I believe in a high level of mobility and freedom in immigration, compared to the current limits, at least. I'm curious, what do you think would happen if we gave the UBI out to everyone immediately?

To spell it out: we cannot afford to produce a UBI for the entire world, but if everyone is able to immigrate to America and receive America's UBI, we will have several billion of the world's poorest knocking on our door. The two are mutually exclusive in the real world, in which we both live. What is your solution?

Yes, you are correct that long term citizens would have higher financial negotiating power than newer citizens who do not yet qualify. Does it need to be 18 years? Of course not -- the point of that number was that you should be an adult to receive a UBI. In our current immigration system, it may be difficult enough to get citizenship that perhaps the only requirement should be that you're an adult citizen.

However, the most important takeaway for you is that if you just give away a UBI to every person that sets foot in America, immediately, you will either:

1. make it near impossible to immigrate to the US due to increased demand from people who were only persuaded by the UBI (in our current system)

or

2. open the floodgates to unsustainable immigration that will drain more from the UBI pool than the system can support (in a higher mobility system, which I otherwise support)

And in either case, you will have immense capital flight to other countries, which is obviously not in America's best interest.

I'm open to suggestions on how to address immigration with a UBI; I don't deny that it's one of, if not the primary shortcoming without an obvious solution for UBI.

I hope this doesn't set any sort of precedent. This is extremely short-sighted. Jobs will be lost, but we should look for real solutions that don't slow down the improvement of quality of life or the advancement of the human race in general. Maybe basic income?
This is valid. Better systems of audit are already emerging to tackle this particular problem.
> Who “absolutely can’t use” it, and for what purpose?

Web browsers. H.264 was finalized in 2003 and while it was supported by Chrome at launch in 2010, it wasn't supported in Firefox until 2013, a full 10 years later, though admittedly support was in Flash in 2007.

> Most people use patent-encumbered media formats all the time.

A major difference between HEVC and other patent-encumbered formats is that HEVC has no single licensing pool with a clear pricing scheme. There's no single place you can go and say "I want HEVC" and know how much you're going to need to pay. Off the top of my head, there's MPEG-LA, HEVC Advance, Velos Media and Technicolor. All of them have different requirements and cost schemes. Also importantly, HEVC Advance was intending to charge for distribution separately from encoding.

As much as I hate MPEG-LA, it definitely helped with H.264's adoption.

> HEVC is going to have dedicated hardware support on most devices in the near future, and will therefore be power-efficient and fast to encode and decode.

Yes but that hardware support needs to be piped through to browsers, which will take time and consent. Is Mozilla going to allow patent-encumbered HEVC into its browser when it's part of AOM and AV1 is just around the corner?

To be clear, I'm mainly talking about web browsers, since they're how most people consume images these days. I'm sure HEVC will find its way into things like TVs, cameras and home theatre systems without issue but I have doubts about its viability on the web.
I can't agree with you sorry.

No yard? Try a park in town. You can have hours of fun with a $20 soccer ball or basketball or wiffleball or cornhole or horse shoes.

Need entertainment? Read a book from the library. The great thing is you might actually learn something.

You're wrong about the value of $70 a month for someone who takes payday loans. If they banked the $840 per year they could save hundreds in payday loan interest on top of that.

Then after a few years of savings one of them could take night classes and become a welder, a nurse, or learn some other trade that would boost their income.

That is the American dream.

Let's stop pretending their jobs should pay more and start looking at reality. The reality is there are plenty of opportunities out there. Stop dreaming that your current skillset is worth more and start learning one that actually is.

They bust the guy for pawning a laptop he stole from his girlfriend's father for 150$. He claims to have $34.6 million in stolen BTC.

The article addresses this contradiction superficially-- the police say he couldn't access his BTC without being caught because the blockchain is public, and he didn't have time to "tumble" the coins.

But that doesn't really make a ton of sense. He didn't have the time or risk appetite to cash out any of his $34.6M but he had no problem breaking into his girlfriend's parent's house and pawning their laptop?

Oh also he was planning to fly out of town on a private jet with Jeremy Renner's passport?
