Monero works by ring signatures. When you make a spend, in addition to the coin you are spending you pick a small number of other coins, presumably at random. Validators don't know which coin of the set is being spent, but they do have assurance that any specific coin can't be spent more than once.

The problem is that there are a lot of knobs to tweak here. Which coins do you pick? They're not all random because at least one of the coins is from your wallet. People have specific usage patterns that give a prior on what output is the user's vs a randomly selected one. (E.g. an output that is 2 years old is less likely than one that is 2 weeks old to be the user's, since most outputs being spent are recent.) In addition, details of the transaction such as how many other coins are selected per signature, reveal what client might be used.

It has been our experience with bitcoin that it is incredibly hard to mask what software is used to generate a transaction. It turns out that there are a ton of things that can watermark a transaction and thereby decrease your anonymity set -- from coin selection to serialization choices to the default settings of optional knobs like fee or locktime. And these generally interact very badly with ring signature systems. If your wallet version makes transactions a certain way, and none of the other mixin inputs you included do exactly the same thing, then it is blindingly obvious which input is actually yours -- the one from a transaction that matches yours in these other respects.
The moon has ~no atmosphere, so any gas released there would diffuse into space.

What I was trying to say is, because any gas will diffuse from an area of high concentration to one with a lower concentration, there is no place in Earth's atmosphere one can release gas without it diffusing throughout it. The best you can do is slow the process down.

> Edit; I've been using a de-chromed chromebook for over a year […]

Ok, but as the article states, they did not de-ChromeOS it because they wanted TPM and Verified Boot and FIDO-certified U2F security key so that they didn't defeat the whole purpose of buying a Chromebook.

FTA: “As far as Debian/Ubuntu (and crouton), that's fine as far as it goes, but then you don't end up with a Chromebook, just a cheap mini-notebook with flaky drivers. The whole point of this exercise is to retain the hardened posture of the platform and have a flexible, safe development environment without depending on the crutch of privileged access.”
The author explains why they want to stick to "native" ChromeOS. You said you only skimmed the article, that is probably why you are being downvoted.
There's a huge opportunity cost in putting some of your developers on creating an app for a niche market. Snap probably felt that Microsoft's incentive didn't cover that cost.

Didn't the problems start even before that? Windows 7 phone was the first new phone platform from Microsoft and was widely regarded as pretty good by the pundits. It had a whole new set of APIs though compared to Win32 (as could be expected), based on a Silverlight-like platform IIRC. Then Microsoft changed all of the APIs again for phone 8 as you outlined. That really scared off a lot of developers I think. Who would be willing to code for something so unstable? 2 new sets of APIs in as many years, with no kind of overlap or migration plan.

All these changes had their reasoned explanations back in the day: the install base was small so it didn't have much impact and they were removing cruft each time, but with hindsight it was a really bad way to go about creating a healthy ecosystem.

We do not take the original Hippocratic Oath.

Like I said in my previous post, some schools use a modern rendition. The modern versions don't forbid surgery, the use of poison, abortive measures, or compensation for medical training--necessary features of modern healthcare.

I challenge you to find me one med school that uses the original oath.

Medical ethics these days follows a principle-based system. The most common framework employs four basic moral principles: respect for autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence, and justice. The current system of ethics is far more robust than any of the pledges taken. The pledges are more about personal significance and have no legal or procedural weight.
I don't have any, as said in my reply to beagle3, I was commenting on an article that was making claims about Sweden without showing data. And the data I found, which is more general, does contradict his claim.

Regarding the refugees entering Europe: initially something like 90% of refugees were in Turkey/Lebanon/Jordan, but the camps there started to crumble under the demographic pressure and lack of funds, and people started a westward migration. Most people arriving in Greece are in fact coming out of Turkish refugee camps, as far as I know. So Europe saw its number of refugees double from 10 to 20% in pretty much one year, and it's not really known if the deal with Turkey will stabilize this number.

Your source is better than mine and does show an imbalance in the adult demographics applying for refugee status in Europe, but it is still lacking enough details to support a "single adult males storming the gate" hypothesis: according to the Snopes article most "entering-the-EU-as-single" male refugees are married or part of a family but cross over to Europe alone to apply for the status and then bring their family in later, officially and through non shady/dangerous routes. It makes sense that they would temporarily leave their family in the relative safety of established camps, and the fact that there is no male-leaning imbalance in the overall refugee population supports this. I can't find the source for this but in general "unmarried/alone young adult males" represent a small amount of the overall refugee population [1].

I will also point out again that refugees are in fact "applicants", and once accepted do not choose in what country they end up. If Sweden ends up with a disproportionate number of young men, it will be because of a policy decision, not because they walked in a settled there. Case in point: Canada is taking in plenty of refugees, but not unmarried adult men: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/nov/24/canada-exclusi...

[1] There is this piece by Samantha Bee: https://youtu.be/na7pFnoLxjw?t=3m6s saying it's about 2%, but it's about the US and they provide no source, and I suspect a refugee expert being interviewed on a liberal show will not be accepted by some.

I use both on free tier and I am happier with PostMark.

I had several issues when sending to Microsoft (hotmail, msn, etc.) domains via MailGun because someone exceeded granted quota for outbound IP address and since then I balance outgoing emails using both.

As mentioned by others, MailGun support doesn't care much about queries from free tier users so I would go for PostMark if I had to pay (more intensive use) or recommend to someone.
Yeah I think this is also a possibility

My first thought was also that it's simply due to the growing popularity of running. However this is also the case in Europe.

When I did my university entrance interview (for maths, at Cambridge) the interviewers were clear that they expected that some subset of candidates would have seen the problem before, and some wouldn't -- for those in the first set they'd get them to quickly go through the problem and move onto the later parts which would be new to them; for those in the second set they'd provide sufficient guidance to let the candidate walk through the problem. The point was to get any particular candidate to a point in the problem sequence where this was something new to them, and then see how they tackled things. The idea that some applicants (usually from public schools) would have been very highly prepped for interview and others (usually from state schools) would not was clearly something they were well aware of and setting their interview design up to handle.
And we'll have them. By 2025 global Li-Ion battery capacity should increase by about 10x. That should lower prices by at least 4x, which should make EVs very competitive on an upfront cost with gas-powered cars, and a no-brainer when you take into account maintenance and gas costs, too.

EDIT: I'm also hoping that by 2025, the 100kWh battery capacity will be standard in pretty much all $15,000+ EVs. The reason I'm hoping and I'm not so sure it will happen is because Tesla itself has signaled that it's not in a hurry to pass the 100kWh battery capacity mark even with the more expensive Model S for now.

My guess is it said that because it wants to put that extra money into buying more expensive self-driving equipment. Similarly, on the Model 3 it has already installed the self-driving hardware, even if the customer doesn't want to use it, so Tesla probably doesn't want to further expand those costs with larger capacity batteries for now.

I'm not a fan of this plan because for one, I think self-driving cars will be in "beta" for a lot longer than expected anyway, and two, it will unnecessarily slow down the EV revolution by compromising on battery capacity to include expensive self-driving equipment.

This wouldn't be a problem if it merely affected Tesla. Unfortunately, so far most of the other car makers have tended to "wait for permission" from Tesla before pushing the limits of their own EVs.

They kept "one-upping" (laughably so) each other for years with an extra 5 mile range from a bottom of 70 mile range on their EVs, until Tesla said Model 3 would have over 200 miles. Even now there are a bunch of cars planned for 2018 with only 30-40 kWh batteries and about 120 mile real world range.

I'm still optimistic for now, and I hope that now that most car maker have actually started taking EVs more seriously (we won't see the effects of that until 2021+ though), there will be a "megapixel-race" of sorts, but for battery capacity in the not too distant future. I want the EV makers to "go crazy" with 200kWh batteries, 300kWh, 400kWh, etc. Let the market decide what is the optimum battery size for passenger cars, for trucks, for semis, and so on.

I don't know why you are being down voted, since you said exactly what I was alluding to. Monero's ring signature traceability is very hard to analyze. Even if the ring signature is not broken in a cryptographic sense, transactions can still be linked by the other fingerprints they leave, or by wide spectrum analysis.

It's a bit like a game of sudoku. A mixin input could have 4 different coins, and technically you can't be certain from the signature which is the real input. But in reality you can do downstream or source analysis and come up with probabilities for whether the prior transactions were authored by the same wallet, or associate with other keys used by other mixin inputs. Every little bit adds to the probability of two addresses being linked, and it really doesn't take many bits of information to confirm or eliminate mixin inputs as being real or fake.

This is notably different from how ZeroCoin operates, where the anonymity set is everyone and it is fully untraceable. However ZeroCoin has problems with respect to performance and deployment :\
I have been working for more than 6 years with Ruby on Rails, and I can definitely tell you, there is waning interest.

Many of the core team members of Rails have long moved on to other technologies.

Companies don't see Rails as something that will give them an edge anymore. Yes, it is quick to develop a prototype in, yet the ongoing performance optimizing burden and the mess it becomes at large scale are not worth it anymore.

Competition has been catching up, and many modern frameworks have taken the best out of Rails, while ditching the not-so-good parts.

The job market for Rails devs seems to be pretty dry. Many Rails devs I know, including myself, do not get even 10% of Rails job offers anymore, as it used to be until a couple of years ago.

Ruby, as a language, is completely stuck and stale, and has been for a long time now. There is no real innovation, the single-threadedness and the GIL are just not good enough in 2017. Ruby 3 has been announced for 2020, and if you ask me, what is promised in terms of features is rather too little, too late.

Rails, as a framework, has been steadily releasing improvements and new features, yet those are either not that relevant, or poorly implemented (e.g ActionCable). The framework's creator, DHH, has been very opinionated about the strength of Rails monolithic approach. To me, this is not where the industry is heading (like it or not) and Rails is going to have a tough time keeping up with the latest software architecture trends like microservices (again, like it or not, microservices are here and they solve real problems).

Rails will be there for a long, long time, no doubt about it. But for many of us, it's just not that sharp knife it used to be anymore. Better accept it sooner than later.
This seems to propose that you can only connect to a certain server, similar to the same-origin-policy. What I would really love instead is the possibility to connect to arbitrary IPs to be able to implement real P2P. The linked posts dismiss this early because of the possibility to cause DDOS, but really, you can already do that from a hacked desktop "Quake", so there is no harm in being able to do it from a browser-based "Quake". What you'd have to prevent is drive-by use of UDP, not use of UDP period.

I would propose having two HTML profiles in future, HTML document, and HTML application (and maybe HTML legacy). HTML document would be restricted in what you can do, and would be primarily for reading Hypertext. For HTML application you would have to go through a few clicks to install or activate it - now you are going to say that people will just click it away, but that is already the case with current desktop app installers, so it is not more insecure! An application profile page will be able to access the net just like any other native application. Most importantly, it will be able to bypass same-origin policy and send UDP and TCP anywhere - but not with credientials of course.

You'd still have the problem of being able to probe internal networks, and being able to manipulate UPnP routers. For the first, the network admin could have a group profile setting or similar to disable this kind of access. For the second, browsers could selectively block this on a case-by-case basis if needed.

For the problem of DDOS, I think we should not let that restrict us from implementing useful technologies. Rather we should fix it at the source. For example, maybe one could lock down certain routes if an attack is detected. All traffic along these routes is throttled, unless you send along a proof-of-work token. I'm just making this up, but my point is that I think we haven't exhausted all options here.
personally I would rather a website tell me that an error occurred using the new mechanism than fall back to a previous version of the DOM and have me wondering why clicking that button isn't doing anything.

I am not sure what is a good alternative to Flex, React is the one that seems closer because you have a render function that you can implement and you have the markup but you are still missing a collection of built in, good quality components, I see a lot of projects wrapping in angular or React jQuery components(callendars, color pickers), In Flex you had this components and you could customize them with item renderers and you can extend them with inheritance.

But many (not all of course, and probably a minority of people who do bitcoin) of its proponents seem as crazy as krokodil users with their snappy judgements, saying it's government propaganda that there is crime done using bitcoin, that bitcoin will replace all currencies, that 'revolution is coming', 'banksters are afraid', and other weird 'freedom' slogans, etc.

At the same time, in some weird massive cognitive dissonance, anytime one of these evil governments they hate so much decides to legitimize bitcoin in some way by recognizing it as some financial instrument or when USD/BTC rises (and let's remember - dollars are a fiat currency a.k.a. useless pieces of paper that bankers print and force people to use) they are giddy as hell.

I even seen comments saying that Satoshi becoming instant billionaire (richest in the world by far, in pure currency, not 'net worth' that's hard to liquidate and spend) if bitcoin really became global currency is deserved for his contribution to humanity. Can you imagine someone saying Dennis Ritchie should own 5% to 10% for his contributions to Unix, C, etc. (that largely went unrewarded and he died the same time Jesus of electronics Steve Jobs did so no one even cared). Or RMS for the FSF? I just can't imagine how much you have to like a thing (FOSS, Unix, C, Bitcoin, ..) to say its creator should be rewarded that heavily and become the richest person in Earth's history.
Basically the author wants to have a Chrome OS installation that can run android and non-root unix/linux software. All this in a regular installation without requiring the user to enable developer mode.

Regarding your questions, yes it is running linux as Chrome OS is based on Gentoo. But it is not running any traditional linux distro. In order to provide a linux/unix environment, the author installs termux. But this app is for command line programs. The quake screenshot has nothing to do with termux, it was installed from the Play store. Therefore I'd say it's not possible to run Steam on it.

The "bad example" in this case would be the Fuel Duty Escalator, a policy to ratchet up fuel tax year-by-year in order to fund sustainable transport and simultaneously make inefficient vehicles unattractive. The government bottled just as it was starting to bite.

Arguably, it was ahead of its time - as opposed to this announcement, which is almost tardy - but it's a sad truth that one of the "pragmatic concerns" is whether or not it'll annoy the sitting party's voting base.

Kind of, it had to with "WinDev vs DevTools relationship" I refer to.

Windows 7 was .NET based, Silverlight for apps and XNA for games, native code was only available to Microsoft partners.

Then the WinDev won the next round and we got WinRT, fully based on COM, based on the initial design of .NET before CLR was a thing (Ext-VOS).

As side effect XNA and Silverlight were killed, not even ported to WinRT, and as I mentioned for accelerated graphics the APIs were only exposed at C++ level.
