DJI is a great consumer robotics company, but they're built on top of a mass amount of experience gained from the DIY world, and this can't be underestimated for its residual effects .. sure, you can buy a DJI consumer product anywhere for a few grand, but for the price of a single DJI you can build yourself a small fleet. And I think that is where they are going to get their competition from, ultimately .. the RCGroups.com crowd.

I was wondering, why the bitcoin owners themself cant't decide.
Because a bitcoin can be seen as a SHARE, as well as money.
So someone who has a lot of bitcoins is a bigger shareholder and should have more to say about it.
The how etc to show how much coins you have etc is another issue, but i believe this should be the way to go.
Yes, but what happens when the person in question wrote the guidelines and that's his attitude. Depressingly this is something that happens.

Abstract:

Crowdfunding is the sourcing of funding for a new venture from a community (the “crowd”). Of late, online crowdfunding has shot into prominence. However, despite hype, relatively little is formally known of a crowd’s appetite for funding product innovation. Our article addresses this research void. We carefully collect a novel, large-scale dataset describing projects in nine product-oriented categories on Kickstarter, from its inception on April 28, 2009 till February 15, 2017. We use state-of-the-art machine learning analytics to analyse descriptions (text, image, and video) of projects. We arrive at a startling conclusion: novelty and usefulness are not viewed as synergistic by the crowd. This is surprising, and disappointing, because innovation requires both novelty and usefulness. Thus, our findings suggest caution in construing crowdfunding as a panacea for innovation.

Small question: How do you get into a trial like this? Did someone choose you? Are trials like this announced somewhere and you did apply? Word-of-mouth? Someone related who works in this field?

It's hard to imagine how it feels to be diagnosed with cancer but I guess in many cases, if the outlook looks dim, a trial like this would make the most sense? Or not?

> I have heard designer friends say that Firefox is the new IE for them

> Safari seems to be a designer-favourite with a very strong focus on things designers need.

I have the completely different experience. If anything Safari is the new IE6 here.

It has bizarre JavaScript behaviour mismatches from other browsers because it doesn't conform
to the standard and does its own thing instead. However, some of these problems are only present
on iOS/macOS because they're related to the underlying libraries used/provided by those operating systems.
It also has "edge-case" (I'd call them quite common, actually) rendering issues that haven't been fixed
for at least a few years now (their flexbox model is still broken). Sometimes they even don't really treat
these as bugs either but instead assume a high ground and claim their way is the best way. Sounds familiar?

Both Chrome and Firefox have some issues where things don't work properly, or deviate from the standard,
and these are treated as bugs, and there's much fewer of those.

In my experience Firefox in general has more of these issues than Chrome and it
usually requires a bit of added fluff to get it to work as the documentation claims it should work,
but they're usually fixed quickly since there's usually already a bug report for them.

Chrome on the other hand has some subtle issues with rendering, and ironically a lot of them seem to
be with the table model—which you'd think should be robust given its age, and some of them have not been fixed
for ages, simply because people are moving away from the table model and interest in these bugs is dropping.

The table model has technical design issues to begin with, anyway.
Once there are hardforks, people will be able to 'vote with their wallets', and a consensus will be apparent through exchance rates. Ethereum on the other hand wants to introduce the rather nebulous concept of 'proof of stake', under which something like you say might be feasable.

The bit about adding it to the website seems like a misinterpretation/over-extrapolation of something said in a briefing about it, specifically that the news feed would be brought to mobile web browsers 'in some form' (see quotes below). That's pretty different from "the feed is definitely being attached to google.com", and also seems to entirely exclude the idea of it showing up on desktop google.com as well.

(disclaimer: I work at google, but I know nothing much about this in particular)

Um, no, that's not the reason. The people that choose to become journalists often do it for idealistic reasons. They want to enlighten the public about issues they care about. Palestine, for example. Right-wing people generally don't have that many issues they want to tell people about. Everybody already knows how high their taxes are, no journalism needed.
Ideally, we'd all read something like Reuters or AP* . The problem is that because there isn't any bias, the stories tend to be quite dry. While that's great for impartiality, people get bored reading it. The BBC has a problem where they have to be impartial and non-accusatory, so articles are plagued with quote marks (e.g "The minister said he was 'shocked' ").

The majority of people read the papers because they want to read something sensationalist from their point of view.

* Actually what everyone should do is read a spectrum of papers from left to right wing. This avoids the bias problem because it becomes immediately obvious and it forces you to think about what the real story might be.
While Zcash allows for keeping the sender, receiver, and amount private, making that optional and having the ability to analyze address balances will allow for blockchain analysis to potentially figure out the sender, receiver, and amount by correlating all public transactions and address balances. A better cryptocurrency would be Monero which forces all transactions to be private and keeps all address balances private, preventing a blockchain analysis company or government agency from figuring out transaction details.
But they still don't let you create app-specific passwords/tokens without enabling 2FA. How they think enabling "less secure apps" is better is beyond me. Trying to force an office full of luddites into 2FA does not go down well.

Well, if they are global when they are undeclared, that pretty much means they are global by default. Maybe a better way of putting it would be "js variables are declared global by default, when unspecified and not using strict mode".

Anyway, I think parent's point was to say this behavior already has been seen in javascript. Actually, it may even be inherited from javascript. When I first looked at solidity last year, I was under the impression it was a modified version of javascript, like unity3d's one. Nowadays, solidity landing page reads "high-level language whose syntax is similar to that of JavaScript", so not sure if it still is (or has ever been, for the matter) derived from something like v8 or rhino.

The reason for that choice seems not far fetched : it's not uncommon, when wanting to add scripting to something, to go with javascript, since it's arguably the most known language, developers knowing "<their main language> and javascript", especially webdevs (a blockchain app project, lisk, even made html/css/js the defacto mean to build apps). Of course, fintech is an industry where the usual values from webdev (release early, release often) have disastrous results.

Change to BTC, use mixers to mix coins. Take a flight to Asia for few months/half a year. Open a bank account in some less regulated jurisdiction (some tax haven) - better yet open several bank accounts like these. Travel around and keep using localbitcoins to change BTC for cash.

Keep sending cash to bank accounts you have opened by depositing cash in person. Use round robin to distribute money across multiple of your hidden bank accounts so suspiciously large volumes of incoming money doesn't get noticed.

Keep moving around, mixing coins and using localbitcoins to get cash and deposit. Also diversify outside of cash to not raise suspicion of the banks by depositing every day / regularly.

Buy physical gold from pawn shops. Then you can turn gold into cash in banks and deposit it to your account like that. You can also use cash to buy prepaid travel debit cards with like 5k on them at a time from post offices or so. Use that for daily expenses.

That might work. If you are not a US citizen but let's say citizen of China that makes it easier to pull off.

Of course, getting that money back to US to your home bank account would be near impossible (without some way to launder the money).

But you could live off your hidden bank account in tax haven. Just don't flash your millions too publicly so people don't get suspicious. Be humble and pretend to live regular life.

Also you could try to launder the money via setting up some fake ICO project and investing your mixed coins into your own ICO, then cash out your custom tokens on exchanges. Just make sure to do this from some unregulated tax haven and it should work (most of these ICOs create their businesses in dodgy tax havens for this reason).

This is how I'd imagine these scammers are doing it.

Not necessarily. Even in regular use, this treatment will still involve killing off the patient's immune system, which will require days in hospital isolation.

There was an interesting article in the Notices of the AMS (American Mathematical Society) a few years ago by Underwood Dudley called "What is Mathematics For?" [1].

In it he discusses how it is largely mythical that most jobs require knowing anything more than basic arithmetic (and even the need for basic arithmetic is not as solid as most assume). For most that do actually require some math it can usually be taught on the job.

Does this mean we should stop widespread teaching of anything beyond basic arithmetic? No. He concludes that what teaching mathematics really does is teach us how to reason. Sure, you have to learn reasoning in other subjects, such as economics or philosophy or physics, but in all of those the reasoning is either about things that have a large component of opinion, or involve a lot of extra real world factual baggage. With mathematics we get to see reasoning in a more pure context, letting us focus on and better learn to understand and use logic.

A competing product that is almost identical to what I was going to launch was launched today. Their product seems nice and they have a team and the launch appears quite successful. I have been working alone on this as a side project for some months but I think I can roll it out in 2-3 months from now as polished as they can and without a team. Should I quit and move on another project? I have tons of innovative ideas and this isn't the first time this happens. Should I start a new one?

Well, direct sales is a bit difficult because my core target is "Agencies that use Slack, of which clients use Slack". So I need to convince a layer of users (let say 10% conversion) and they have to convince another layer (10% again) => 1% conversion rate.

What worked was publishing some articles on Medium and optimizing a bit for SEO, so that the handful of people who actually has the problem, can find me. The Slack app Directory helped quite a bit at first, but I should take better advantage of it now that they have add features.

But really, the main growth factor is : almost no churn. People are super satisfied. So even if I don't spend much time finding customers, the very low growth keeps adding up...

> You already know why they halt: there's a gas limit.

Did you actually read my post? I'm not claiming halting is a problem; it's merely an example of undecidability. The "gas limit" doesn't help in the cases where the program does halt with unexpected behavior.

> Turing complete programs don't generally halt. That's the definition.

Where did you get this nonsense? See [1] for the actual definition.

> attack was an extremely simple programming error

Yes, which is why it's stupid to use a language with a grammar that cannot be proven. If trivial mistakes happened in production code, how do you expect to find the subtle bugs that happen because of the complex interactions that occur in recursively enumerable grammars?

> prove the correctness of programs

You can do that for some programs, but not all. The point about grammars is there are classes of grammar that allow automatic verification. Using a recursively enumerable grammar instead of a regular or context-free grammar demonstrates a severe misunderstanding of either language theory, or secure/safe engineering practices.

int_19h description[2] of some of the insane parts of Solidity suggests a PHP-style fractal of bad design[3], not a platform for proving correctness.

Datamatrix uses ECC200 almost always. In practice, especially for phone-reader applications, the limiting factor for data transmission is not the symbology choice (datamatrix/QR) but limitations from the camera.
