Something similar happened to my dad. He had a pretty successful company providing security guard services mostly on government contracts. It wasn't very lucrative. He wasn't rich. But, it paid the mortgage and the bills and my siblings and I were well taken care of. Then, when I was around 9 or 10 or so, Wackenhut kind of raised a lot of money and became the Amazon of security guard services. They Amazon'd his company and everything he built just kind of slowly disappeared over the next couple years. He could have done OK getting a job as a security guard himself and working his way up or even changing careers (he was reasonably intelligent). But, something about his company failing broke him and he just kind of never did anything after that. My teen years were absolute chaos until I dropped out of high school and got a job driving a fork lift around 17 and moved out. I remember there being absolutely no food in the house for days and days. It was crazy.

I've had a bunch of friends/acquaintances that killed themselves (hung/shot/jumped off the GG) after their start-ups failed. But, they all did it during the first boom (90's). I haven't personally known anyone that's done it during this boom, yet. I think the difference might be that the bubble hasn't popped yet this time. People who fail can still easily go find work. Back then all the companies were laying people off. So, if your start-up failed there was basically no where to go but back home. Probably the majority of the people I knew in SFBA back when the bubble popped did that. It was crazy how suddenly highways that were packed with traffic could just be cruised down at the speed limit during rush hour with out touching your breaks until you got to your exit. It seemed surreal.

The only thing I want out of that is redundancy. Why do I want those other things?

(Bear in mind I know what they are - I want you to sell me on them).
You've wet my appetite. Got a link to your book?
Very Interesting. I will read those links.

What if Ethereum offered a non-turning-complete subset of Solidity (that included formal verification) which could optionally be used in smart contracts. Would this cause you to view the platform differently?
I am very biased because I know the people at Blockstream have been thinking about this problem longer than the developers of Ethereum.

Please see this article to get an idea of the personalities involved:

Advantages to using SVG font in font-face instead of TTF/EOT
This is sort of how SmartScreen works in IE. It's debatably useful, but it certainly sells code-signing certs.
I think this article would be substantially improved by removal of references to Tesla or "disruption".

The stuff about the Renault is interesting, but all the "what these unthinking Musk fanboys don't realize..." is obnoxious and doesn't add anything to the article.
It's 2017, the era of evergreen browsers and living standards. As much as you or I may wish otherwise, anything built for the web today may not last and may have significantly limited reach within a matter of months. Every major browser developer has shown a willingness to cut off established functionality, even things that have worked for many years, if its suits their purposes. (Either that or they've abandoned older, non-evergreen browsers more or less completely.) The only standards that matter in web development today are the de facto standards of what the browsers actually do, just like the bad old days of IE vs. Netscape.

As I said before, this might well be bad for the long term future of the World Wide Web as a resource for society, but in this business you have to play the hand you're dealt, and the browser developers hold all the important cards.
A 190 in 80s India probably cost quite a bit more than the equivalent of $4k
FYI the article's real title is "Why This $4,000 Renault Is as Disruptive as the Tesla Model 3"
I find it pretty amusing that nobody is going to acknowledge the idea that maybe, just maybe, there's also a component of the fact that Firefox has simply fallen behind Chrome in many aspects, losing the preference of many developers and power users. They are far from the majority, but there are without a doubt cascading effects. Google's marketing is probably only getting more aggressive because there's going to be diminishing returns the further they go.
Thats what I was trying to say. Casually wiping drives I agree shouldn't be suspicious but if you're doing something that may be unlawful and you're wiping - can't really complain they nail you with obstruction or worse.
They shouldn't be giving their customers a static IP, they should be giving them a 'customername.ourplatform.com' address that the customer can point a CNAME at.
If being highly vetted is your main heuristic for safety, then isn't popularity (large number of github stars) directly correlated with that?
Looks like the free lunch is over already. It's still the 19th where I am and all I see is a "subscribe" overlay.

It was devastating enough to end the Mongol empire. This empire included pretty much all of Asia. With the demise of the empire, the silk road trade pretty much closed down, cutting China off from the Middle East and Europe.
Their primary concern is getting rich people to spend three hundred dollars per person. I've been to high end restaurants. It's not about food at all. It's a combination of a status symbol and show business. They're putting on a show for you with tiny, barely noticeable bits of food, and you are overpaying for it to show your date or business partner that you can afford it.
I am really curious if this actually makes things better..Maybe I am just getting old..

But this seems like everything else. Let's dumb it down so people can get it. But if you really want to be a programmer, you will get it. You will spend hours debugging and feeling like you know nothing. That is what makes you grow.

On the other hand....I ran into some Senior CS students who were incapable of programming in javascript...so...maybe it is not so bad.
I wish more companies put out there the rationale for their design choices. Not sure why a lot of comments here are so negative about them doing their job and communicating it.
This is dead on, no pun intended. And it's made worse by the fact that even people who are personally affected by the overdose epidemic usually are culturally conditioned to shun the addicts (e.g. friends or family), and so instead of coming out and saying in public, "Yes, I have been personally affected by this horrible thing, we need to do something about it," you find that people keep this kind of thing quiet, because addiction and addicts are looked down upon. I think the analogy with HIV/AIDS is very succinct and relevant.
Doxxing, human flesh mobs, griefing, swatting and attacking livelihood are very much risks for online publishers of all cultural stripes. This is not a solved problem.

>Asking the (potential) victim to change their behaviour
TFA explicitly states that "preventing the attacker from harming the content creator" is the ideal. They are pointing out additional defensive steps that can be taken.
There is no real advantage to a dependency graph versus a list of layers. Originally, Docker images were actually fetched in sequence, similar to the ACI approach, but this blocked parallelization on each subsequent step. What has become OCI uses a list of layers to avoid this bottleneck.

As long as images share layers, network traffic would be the same in either scenario.

Reduced transfers will be achieved by formats that have a more granular filesystem representation. Right now, we are really held back by the continued use of tar, but that is another problem.
I feel like we shouldn't be expressed in dollars, but in percentage of total funds. In this case 16 million is about 1% of the total. This would be a $16 billion case if the US banking system was the target and used this technology.
Except you're defending racist signs that ostensibly protect people from rude behavior, not "unlimited amount of harm", so this is all a straw man.

Of course there's a practical limit to tolerance. This isn't it.

This is fantastic, nice work. I can save myself from ever installing Acrobat again.
I agree, that's something I found strange in the original post.

Why ask something as esoteric as the differences between EV and DV certs to end users, instead of the differences (albeit cosmetic) they actually see.
Netscape 4 was facing IE4 not IE5 or 6.

firefox was initially named phoenix and it was made as a workaround the performances issue of mozilla suite by removing everything unneeded to run a browser. Except mozilla suite fixed its performance issues way before phoenix was ready for prime time.
Can you provide more information about the leadership of the project? Are you the one who directly reports to the board of the parent company?

If not, I don't expect that you are in a very strong position to play a significant role in whatever happens, so I would immediately start looking for outs, whether that be from the project or the larger company.
It's still rather indirect. If the population drops significantly then many types of mining simply becomes redundant because there is so much material no longer needed by the dead.
Interestingly, when the DEA was trying to emergency schedule kratom late late year, one of the biggest groups lobbying for the scheduling were addiction recovery clinics. These groups also lobby heavily for kratom scheduling on the state level. They were instrumental, for example, in the effort to schedule kratom in Alabama (which incidentally saw a 30% increase in the number of opiate overdose deaths in the weeks after kratom was scheduled). It takes no imagination to understand why they would want to eliminate a cheap, accessible, safe competitor that works, like kratom.
Apologies for my foul language but Americans are uneducated as fuck! This is why crap sells so well only in America.

Before someone goes off about best schools, best companies, best other things, do remember that these "bests" are not available to the masses in America.

The anti-science, anti-schooling, anti-intellectualism is rampant across the nation, resulting in articles such as this!

Well if you decide to stick with an older version of Firefox, you might just as well stick with PaleMoon instead.
At least it's still getting some new features and security fixes.
>Maybe the "Liberals" didn't do anything of note to help them, but that's different than saying that this situation wouldn't exist if only the "Liberals" hadn't been in power.

Agree, but to return to the topic of depressed rural/ex-industrial areas and Appalachia specifically - That's not the sentiment. The sentiment is '8 years of Obama delivered no improvement and only a continuation of the decline' and the response to that isn't 'hitch a horse to Trump' it's 'At this point what harm is there in a risky gamble? Spin the wheel and roll the dice'.

Appalachian fatalism is a thing. It's not helped by American elections being rigged as a two-party affair. Combine these and it should be no surprise that many end up pushing their chips all-in and taking what might be a 50/50 chance.

But the odds aren't even that bad, from the perspective of these people. What do these people have to lose from this gamble? Economically? Already fucked. Socially? Reproductive Rights/LGBT Rights/Foreign Relations are nowhere near the top of their list if they are on the list at all.

You're spinning an enormous segment of the population as irrational actors, but they are not.

It's also known as a mercy pull in kingdom hearts Union X, where after a few failed attempts of trying to get a high level medal they will guarantee you one on the next pull.
Yes. If a similar scale thing were to happen in the U.S. banking system, 1% would be 160 billion dollars, not 16.

I'm amazed that otherwise intelligence people really believe this is a better system than fiat currencies + banks.
It's also discussed in "The Electric Kool Aid Acid Test". Ken Kesey gatecrashed the place and the Pranksters decided Leary's crew were a bunch of boring squares.

Kesey also had heavy police surveillance at his property and his method of dealing with it was pretty epic. They still got him in the end though.
Maybe they just acquired 8 million dollars for free?

> What I'm saying is that if a caucasian feels like a foreigner just because Japanese because people assume he probably doesn't speak Japanese, then he feels like a foreigner for a superficial reason

A shorter way to say this is "If a person feels like X because people assume he's X every day, then he feels like a X for a superficial reason", which is almost directly self-contradictory. If people treat you like X every day, that's likely going to make you feel like X.

Perhaps you somehow wouldn't feel X despite daily messages that you are X, but most people would.
Japanese have strict rules on used cars, meaning all of them wind up going abroad relatively early. I wouldn't be surprised if those lexuses are right hand even though Cambodia is left hand.
Just a couple months ago geth clients were crashing due to a memory overload, the fix? Use parity until geth was patched.

Using core implementations is no guaruntee that you won't get burned. The only difference between official software and third party open source software is the dev team behind it. The official devs can make mostakes just like anyone else.
Mmm not really like SRS either, from what I know of it. SRS will link to things and mock them, but t_d is more interested in actively swaying peoples' minds. So they astroturf, race-bait, "just asking questions!" and concern troll pretty assiduously outside of their own home sub.
It's closest to the middle, assuming that you meant that you're stating the properties that you want to test. It does more than that, but at its base that's effectively how it works so it's close enough for a solid intuition. We're working on a paper about it now -- or at least a sub-paper in the clutch of papers that pertain to a public chain version -- that I'll link to when it's out (a couple weeks probably).
I don't remember fans of netscape switching to IE, though I do remember AOL buying netscape and making a mess of it with netscape 4 development stopped and netscape 5 abandoned.
I totally get the idea of avoiding computers in the car side of things. My Dad and I used to work on old Holdens (GM) when I was a kid, and I ended up with carburetted Datsuns for a long time.

I wish we got some of the cool 70's American products down here in Australia, though we get some equally neat imports to make up for it I suppose. But it's certainly a good hobby to have outside of work I reckon.

And haha, yeah the rx-8 probably isn't the best example of a newer car in terms of maintenance or reliability :) But I do love rotors!

I'm sorry but we have 6 decades of fundamental security research that has shown that it is essentially impossible to have a sufficiently complex, secure system.

I suspect that when you steal this amount of money, the law is the least of your worries. There are likely people who will hunt these hackers to the ends of the earth for what they've done. For their sake, they better cover their tracks well.
>In 10 years I'll likely have enough saved up to seriously consider my own business, and enough contacts/professional clout to go back to regular work if it fails. I'll also have 10 more years of business experience to draw on, likely from at least 2 more companies. Why do a startup now, or God forbid right when I graduated, when I have/had the fewest resources and the fewest advantages?

You'll also be a decade older, probably with children, a mortgage, and a bad back. Business opportunities prime for the taking now will be saturated. There's a trade off to everything. Young, single people willing to accept risk have a lot of intangible advantages.

There are times in a RPG for (a GM/DM) relying on dice for something and when not to. For some people driving appears to be like bumper cars but for most of us it isn't 8) Apply that to D&D and the player's approach to things should be used to bias or even dispense with dice.

I spent a month traveling ALL of India last year.

In the immediate cities sure. But go outside to the "highways", and it's like Mad Max out there. Seriously. Everyone is hauling ass on no lane roads, passing each other constantly into oncoming traffic. Also NO ONE wears seat belts. I had to demand them in cars that were picking me up. Usually they were either disconnected, or hiding away never used. It's terrifying.
Great reply, cheers.
