To me it looks like with ICO's there is actually more information asymmetry than with traditional centralized securities markets. It is very easy for example to do insider trading with ICO's, since anonymous accounts are very easy to set up.
Man, I thought that was just something buggy on mine. That's standard behavior?!?!
They are also getting paid in Schrute bucks.

These ICO raises need to be huge since selling X00m of ETH or BTC moves the price... its absolute madness.

I think Web Authentication will slowly make U2F obsolete, in a sense that U2F will become one of many authentication methods, others could also be implemented. Checking WebAuth specs one can see references to Android attestation, TPM attestation so generally secure hardware elements. Implementing a U2F solution would require emulating USB exchange I guess.

Of course U2F still has an advantage that you can take your token and authenticate on a different device but unfortunately newer Yubikeys do not support U2F over NFC and there are not so many other solutions.

I've been having some therapy recently, and one of the things the therapist has pointed out is that the more anxious I am, the more I make negative generalisations. I believe this is quite a common pattern in anxiety & depression.

I couldn't help noticing that your post contains several generalisations ('every founder is full of shit', 'every product is crap', 'my 10 years of experience is worthless').

We're all wired in different ways, and this might only be a small component of your problem, but it might be worth talking to someone about generalised anxiety or similar.

I hope this doesn't come across as patronising or anything. It's just something I learned about myself recently that could be useful for you too.

Investing in crypto is like a gambling addiction. I know some people who were paper millionaires based on their BTC during the days before Mt Gox collapse.

They lost their entire savings once Mt Gox collapsed, since then they have spent years working hard to recover their savings and now they are investing all of it in ICOs.

This won't end well. Seems to me like the story is repeating.

On a side note, the brigading/shilling here on HN is becoming quite annoying. I suppose it's a lot of computer nerds who are heavily invested in these tokens who are trying to get more new people invest their real money into these tokens so:

1) they can get rich quick

2) or recover their losses (lots of people heavily invested in crypto are underwater)
This is a Show HN...

And before you ask, I'm actually not only preparing the issue details, I'm looking to fix it myself.
Well, didn't realize it previously, but the following might work:

1. Earn bitcoins with some serious crime (ransomware, drugs or something)
2. Organize ICO and invest the criminal proceeds to your ICO anonymously.
3. "Clean" funds as investments to your somewhat legit-looking company.
Agreed. They focus on deconstruction.

So for those who would like to see current events (i.e. through lens of the media) for what they truly are. May be useful for a subset of people who view the mainstream as largely chasing dollars. Which the OP certainly falls into.
Whether some of these ICOs are a fraud or not has nothing to do with how transparent the ledger technology is. Regardless of how well the ledger of what you "bought" is maintained, "what you bought" could still be a farce ... it could be some guy who set up a blockchain, and beckoned you from his white van with promises of candy ;)
That still doesn't work though, because an IPv4 host still can't address an IPv6 host, and an IPv4 router still wouldn't be able to route to an IPv6 network (without hacks far uglier than NAT).

And they couldn't just upgrade every router in every backhaul network to the new protocol at once (assuming what you describe could actually work) - that took a decade, because lots of it used custom silicon for routing and switching.
I'll try to refine the point I was making. For years FreeBSD has explained away their problems by saying "we don't have big business helping us" and then they turn around and say "one of our key advantages is we're more friendly to big business". At some point, you need to stop offering up ONE of those arguments because while theoretically both points can be true, you have to eventually ask if FreeBSD is so good for business, why aren't there Red Hat, IBM, or Linaro for FreeBSD? And if so many businesses ARE choosing FreeBSD, why isn't it showing up in more tangible ways? Netflix might contribute a lot back to FreeBSD, but, can I watch Netflix on my FreeBSD computer? I say this mostly out of frustration with a project and product that I do really like. FreeBSD just needs better arguments in support of it.
One thing I've appreciated is summaries. Means the newsletter author is actually putting some thought into what they include, instead of just copy/pasting some links.

Another approach is custom content: write stuff yourself. That gives you a more personal connection to audience, helps you learn by teaching, and tends to suffer less from trendiness of link-based articles. This is what I do with https://codewithoutrules.com/softwareclown/.

Shumway was a great project and it's definitely unfortunate that it was abandoned. I completely agree with you that keeping old content available is important. Using the DOM was definitely the right choice.
Over the last few weeks I started to split Shumway into smaller packages so it's easier to work on it. For the moment I have a typed AST, a parser and a render for shapes with solid fills, they are all written both in Rust and Typescript (updated to the latest version). The biggest challenge remains the documentation and VM but Adobe open-sourced the FlexSDK and AVMPlus so you can find lot of information in the source code.
I still don't know if I'll try to update the Shumway VM or write Rust bindings for AVMPlus and try to compile it to something like Wasm. Basically, for the moment it's at the very beginning so I don't know if it will even be useful, but I am determined to work on it and if it fail I could then help for some other projects such as Lightspark (which still seems somewhat maintained even if the activity dropped). Say what you want but losing Flash is losing a great part of the history of the internet, for all its problems it's worth preserving.
I think a combination of cozy.co and thumbtack.com could get you there.
Oh, so around 15 times slower than LightGBM.
Good question, I'd like to know SeoxyS's reason, too.

Aside from the space consideration already mentioned, if I had to surmise, I'd guess it would be faster to process because we're skipping the encode/decode steps unless we are explicitly "importing" or "exporting" the hash, and less chance of making mistakes to encode/decode through Base64 before doing anything with the hash.

It is marginally more of a hassle to debug in a live production environment, though. When you are troubleshooting, grabbing the binary representation and running it through a Base64 decoder is annoying. Doing this from inside a mass file search to look for all instances of the same hash can be a bother.

I suspect we're storing as Base64 everywhere because so many hashes are held in XML files, and the standard strongly encourages storing binary within XML as Base64. Once they are doing it in an XML file somewhere, I gather lots of teams make that the canonical representation everywhere, even in a database when it isn't strictly necessary.
I understand, I don't mean commercial progress either.
The Flash authoring tool comes bundled with a standalone Flash movie player that can open .swf files. It's available here, but I have no idea if this will continue to work (the page warns against using this if you're not a developer): https://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/debug_downloads.ht...

It's also possible to export any Flash movie as a standalone executable with the Flash runtime baked in. This should be immune to any sort of deprecation. Of course this relies on the developer who holds the original source file to do the exporting.
> I think it's probably easiest to ignore the inchoate name calling

Because it didn't happen. But you're free to feel superior to me based on lies about what I said.

> Specifically I believe sexual assaults are under-reported,

Yes... look at the numbers from Statistics Canada for one. In interviews, people claim sexual assault rates that are about 10x the rate of police reports.

Why are those crimes not reported? Statistics Canada asked... the #1 answer is "because the assault was too minor to bother with".

i.e. grabbing an ass in a bar is legally sexual assault. But few people are going to file a police report about it.

> and that more assaults happen because they're under-reported.

No such evidence exists.

There is evidence that there are massive programs to encourage people to report sexual assault. All such programs have not increased the reporting rate to police.

Which makes it look like the rate of police reports of serious crimes is pretty close to the real rate of serious crimes.

For the crime of sexual assault to be proven, you need more than a he said/she said.

For the crime of perjury to be proven, you also need more. Substantive proof of lying, not just 'the guy did not get convicted'.

I don't think there is a chilling effect when you use a standard of proof to admit a claim of fraud.
In the video the researcher claims that they can build a significantly smaller/cheaper tokamak with HTS (high temperature superconductor) materials technology that has only became available in the last 5 years. Even if ITER is built not using HTS, can HTS be later retrofitted into it and therefore improve its performance down the line?
The spades are the base currencies - ethereum or bitcoin. People who got in early were believers in the technology for whatever reason. Now they are able to unload some of the coins to people who want to strike it rich by investing in the next-gen technology called "blockchain" and ICOs. They are the "enablers" for the gold rush.

Once the house comes crashing down, it will be the same people who scoop up the coins back even at lower prices. Because of their belief in the coins unlike others who are just chasing cryptocurrency for the "1000%+ rise".

To be a merit badge counselor in the Boy Scouts, you must agree to a statement that begins, "The Boy Scouts of America maintains that no member can grow into the best kind of citizen without recognizing an obligation to God." I don't know any scientists or engineers who would be willing to sign on to this kind of bigotry, although I'm sure there are some. So the Boy Scouts make due with whoever's left. It doesn't seem as if the Girl Scouts have a similar requirement. If that's true, they'll have a larger pool of higher-quality counselors to help the girls with science and engineering study, and will soon outclass the Boy Scouts.
If I push my kid, even just a little with kindly parental suggestions, I fear...

He's a human being, and a human beginning. As such he must (and will) find and tread his own path. My job is to show him how exceptional his path might become. His job is to choose the degree of exceptionalism he desires.
It's a hyperponzi. A ponzi combinator.

As much as I find the actual technical details of blockchain technology interesting (it's basically nerd crack) - the severe lack of utility to general society and the constant price bubbles are really astounding.

There are multiple levels of bubbles... the short term ethereum-led ICO bubble we are currently in, which is kind of overlaid on top of the long term bubble of cryptocurrency as a whole, which is itself overlaid on the tech bubble (where a lot of the disposable incomes getting poured in to crypto come from), which is itself overlaid on the broader world asset bubble caused by years of ZIRP.

Cryptocurrencies, BTC, ETH, ICOs, ZCash, Monero, etc - it's all just a giant blackhole of waste, greed, and criminal activity so ingeniously designed that it almost seems like some kind of weapon designed to harm society. But it's so much fun to work on and think about... that it is just hard to look away.

That's pretty much what banks were doing with tech IPOs anyway (maybe other IPOs?).
Maybe because people are saying that some things are out of context/scope for girl scouts (like, for example, this badge) in sibling threads.

Showing a similar badge does exist in the boy scouts since a long time is relevant, because it shows that it's probably in line with scoutism.

> NAT has the side effect of behaving like a crappy firewall, so it gives you the added security of a crappy firewall.

No, it doesn't. Unless by "crappy firewall" you mean "a firewall that doesn't firewall".

> I guess the advantage of NAT is that while you could forget to setup a firewall and not notice, you'll definitely notice it pretty quickly if you have a few computers on your LAN and you don't have a NAT...

... and you could then set up a NAT and still forget the firewall. Especially so if you mistakenly believe that NAT provides firewall functionality. There is absolutely nothing that prevents your ISP, and by extension anyone who happens to compromise your ISP('s router) from connecting to your RFC1918 addresses through your NAT gateway if you don't also have a firewall.

I find it somewhat humorous that more than 25 years on, we are effectively reverting to static linking and bundling [1].

Way ... way back in the day, the argument was it would save memory, encourage reuse, etc. While some of this may have been true, it also gave rise to dynamic library hell. Reuse was overshadowed by incompatible versions, or API changes between versions that became the stuff of legends.

This would make a great study in how the ROI was completely overshadowed by risk considerations not considered at the outset.

Of course, saving memory was a huge issue in the days when 1GB RAM was considered gigantic. So maybe the cost was worth it.

To me this is more akin to a ponzi scheme or to a tulip bubble than a gold rush. Anyone can pull a new blockchain out of their ass. They generate no cash flows, have no intrinsic value, are only worth anything because someone will want to buy it from you for more, in the hope to sell it to another sucker for even more. At this stage people are trading thin air.

Lessons learned from building a tech community in Upstate NY
The illegal weapons and drugs are not produced and consumed on the internet but in one of the countries where they (or the process of obtaining them via the internet instead of a government authorized seller) are highly illegal.

In vast majority of countries even possession of drugs is illegal. Drugs trafficking and owning large quantities is usually illegal even in countries where possession for personal use is legal.

Weapons are even worse because of how liberal USA gun laws are compared to the rest of the world. There are many countries where the process to get a gun is much harder and full of bureaucracy and requires registering with the police.

Do you seriously want to make an argument that all of these guns and drugs are all Portuguese and Czechs buying 1g of coke or 10g of weed at a time, Swiss and Americans buying guns that are legal in their countries, registered with the police, etc.?

Don't be ridiculous. Tor and Bitcoin are used by criminals and it's not a coincidence.

And then there is the morality argument. Bitmixer owners felt their service was used by criminals (their words) and it left such a bad taste in their mouth that they shut it down on their own, there was no legal system involved. I can get behind that choice if that is really their reason. It's not like being an asshole is illegal but many (most) people still hate assholes and won't help them in any way. Just because something is legal (and again - drugs and weapons usually aren't) doesn't mean it should be done, applauded and enabled by convenient websites.
