Well, I should have been more specific. I was referring to cases such as these which play out publicly and not disputes between two neighbors.

One hundred thousand dollar sounds right in the ball park for General damages in usual cases though it'll increase depending on how much publicity the accusation got or if business reputation was harmed. That's just general damages. There's also attorneys fee in two countries and then there are special damages (economic harm caused), and finally, pre and post judgment interest.

Add on top of all that possible punitive damages imposed by a jury. I am a lawyer in India but these are usual common law principles followed everywhere.

The way people try to use PoW for consortium networks does not cause excess power usage: low difficulty, low powered device/s.

Anyone malicious that connects to the network can easily overpower the existing validators. Sybil resistance is only the case if validators compete with computation due to economic incentives. In consortium network the native tokens have likely no/low value.

With PoA there are rules according to which validators are added/removed and limits on block issuance that ensure fault tolerance.

I think it’s clear what was intended. Nobody disputes that targeted uses of third party infrastructure services can be appropriate. After all, it’s relatively easy to migrate a service to a new CDN - but it’s a lot harder to migrate from AWS when it’s a core part of your application architecture!
Yes, this is pretty much the same as me. The focus of Thinking Forth (as much as I remember it -- I should re-read it now that I can download it) is about creating small words that you can compose. The idea was that you could interactively tests the words as you were writing the code. FORTH is a bit like Smalltalk in that the environment is always loaded, so you're always jumping in and out of the editor to try things.

Later when I learned about refactoring and TDD, it felt really natural. Until now I hadn't made the connection, but it was exactly the same thing I was doing when I was writing FORTH code.

I also program everything bottom up, rather than top down. I'm pretty sure this is from the influence Thinking Forth had on me as a programmer. I'll make a mental sketch of how things will fit together overall, pick a spot, drill down and then start building the pieces I'm going to need. I refactor as I go. Finally I plug everything together. This also leads me to do subsystem decomposition very, very late in the process. Only after I've built the pieces do I start thinking about where they should ultimately end up. This makes refactoring a lot easier: first when you are building the pieces because you don't have to jump through hoops to get at things, and second when you are assembling because the pieces will naturally fall into places based on what data they interact with. If you have problems understanding where a piece should go, then it's a good indication that you have more refactoring to do.

Some people hate the way I do evolutionary design :-) It works for me, though.
I think the comment does ring true in many cases however, where a minimal infrastructure is more than sufficient. We recently received notice that an EC2 instance was being retired and we needed to relaunch. It had no load balancing; it was just an m1.medium with a standard Java app on Ubuntu, with a static IP address, and it ran for like 5 years. No elasticity etc. Essentially 1:1 for a standard "old school" setup.

From a refactoring perspective, typechecking makes the answer to the question "What is this change going to break?" much more obvious.

Combine that with Typescript's IDE support and a lot of the usual dumb refactoring mistakes just don't happen so you can focus on the actual algorithmic problems emerging.

The parameter of LightGBM is a little bit hard to tune. And when #data is small, it is easier over-fitting. But it will be powerful if you tuned it well (Here a guide for the parameter tuning: https://github.com/Microsoft/LightGBM/blob/master/docs/Param...).

Also, there are many kaggle winning solutions using lightgbm recently. e.g. The 2nd on "Quora Question Pairs" used the ensemble of 6 lightGBM and 1 NN (https://www.kaggle.com/c/quora-question-pairs/discussion/343...). And almost top-10 in this competition used LightGBM as sub-models for the ensemble.
The most recent "general purpose" instance families (C4, G3, M4, P2, R4) don't offer ephemeral storage anymore. My guess is that AWS will only offer ephemeral storage for a few selected instance families in future.

So you have to decide: older instance types (which will become more expensive as they usually don't benefit from new price reductions) or no ephemeral storage
there are secondary community engagement and customer/user retention (lock-in?) benefits to using a token

if the token is part of or essential to a yet-to-be-developed app, but not themselves traded, I cannot see why there would be any sense of an investment. but I would in such cases never market the sale of such tokens as an ICO or crowdfunding. I would offer them up for sale, as a product pure and simple. buy now. use later.

i see it as selling an atari 2600 with no game cartridges, and then selling games later when available.

You mean what are the benefits of a private blockchain?

The trust model is different but all other capabilities are kept intact, so in the case of Ethereum you would still have the distributed singleton and immutable code that will always execute in the same way anywhere in the network, at any point in time.

For established businesses entering the space, the privacy of closed network compensates the absence of "secrets" to some extent. It is also quite useful as a training ground because of course the technology is still in its infancy.
I think Apple "updated" the network stack with 10.10 (maybe 10.10.1) and then had so many issues with IP conflicts with the new implementation that they actually backtracked and reverted to the original. The memory is hazy but if you're interested I can do a little digging and see if I can find some other info.

The public library in my town sits on land that is part of a larger office park. The green space behind it is pseudo-public with walking/biking trails and ponds. I had to laugh at the rules posted opposite the library exit. Among them was a prohibition on the distribution of literature.
Unexpected lazy solution.
Well, while this may be the case, I'm not quite sure how Apple device assuming same IP as before somehow triggers the disconnect from the rest. It may be part of the steps required to reproduce, but hundreds of other consumer routers with standard configuration handle such a scenario without booting the rest of the attached clients, which is why I woudl rephrase it as unexpected behavior from the router.

And Apple isn't taking a shortcut or a hack here, it's a known scheme: http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4436.txt It's not so much doing anything special as crafting a special call to the network it tries to connect to. It's more of a shortcut to know if the Mac should go to the DHCP phase rather than cheating its way on to the network.

It's called out in the post: most applications are not written to deal with reads / writes suddenly dropping in throughput. How are you supposed to rate limit the IOPS of a program you don't control? Can you make `docker' do exponential backoff if it notices some operations are taking too long?

In a network scenario, the remote service could say something like Quota exceeded, please try again later. read and write syscalls don't really work like that. They instead remain in uninterruptible sleep, which means they can't wake up, or be killed or stop.

I'm not sure I agree with you re: overpowering the existing validators.

On a public blockchain, you need a proof that all nodes are acting in the best interest of the network because there is no way of stopping anyone from joining. The economic incentives play a huge part here as you mention.

On a private chain, you'll have some form of registration or centralised auth which prevents "unknown" nodes from joining in the first place. If mining is centralised, that means that trust is established "off-chain" so an external sybil attack would not be a real threat.

Regarding the power usage and difficulty increase over time, I guess you could keep the resource usage low for some time, but you'd need to re-write the client software to prevent and increase in proportion to the number of blocks created, which could have a negative effect on the network synchronisation, or rate of inflation (coin issuance) if there is a token involved.

> There's no such thing as guilty or innocent when it comes to sexual harassment.

Legally speaking, sure, because it's a statutory tort rather than a crime, but “guilt” and “innocence” each have a non-legal-jargon meaning which precedes and is the source of the legal meaning, and which is clearly what is usually meant in non-technical discussions.

> It's not a crime and only companies can be liable for anything related to it, not the actual people doing the harassment.

Correct under federal law (at least, that's how most courts have applied the law), explicitly not true for some state (including California) sexual harassment laws, at least when the harasser is a supervisor, as personal liability of supervisors for harassment exists.
Yea, and they still had to do security updates for it in the meantime. I guess that is part of why they "un-discontinued" it.
By this logic, we could abolish legal system at all and rely on anonymous accusations and public opinion to do all the bidding, because you know, there are real killers/rapers/thieves/robbers etc. out there and the accusation might be true.

The standard library is also very limited so you end up writing language/target specific code that you can't just recompile for a different language or target without a rewrite.
That might just depend on what parts of a "SQL database" you'd implement using a blockchain, and on the application type. You could e.g. segregate the data and only use the blockchain to authorize or timestamp transactions, for instance. In the latter case, Blockchain is just another consensus layer, and all distributed databases need one. See also https://github.com/pixelspark/catena, which uses the blockchain like a replication journal, logging only mutating queries and providing authorization based on public key crypto (disclosure: I am the author).
> The old system will still be needed post-WebRender for printing at the very least.

It listens on a socket for failed login notifications from other daemons. I'd say this approach is better than what fail2ban does (scans logs with regexps), but it has to be supported upstream so the daemons actually notify blacklistd.

Does anyone here have actual experience of Wix vs. Squarespace? The only time I've ever come across Wix, the sites that had been created seemed really shady. (Not that I can blame Wix for that, unless that's a market they deliberately targeted, e.g. by being free.)

They're pushing ads on YouTube hard at the moment, presumably because they've seen Sqsp and realised that it's a market that they should have owned. My perception is that they've been around longer?

Insteon sends packets concurrently via both radio and the power line. Devices also act as repeaters: there can be up to 4 hops to reach the destination. In theory this makes it one of the most reliable networking tech.

But it's dated (from the 1990s), there is zero encryption/authentication, and devices are kinda expensive.
It's still a fair point, even if a little "off topic' wrt parent and still perfectly on topic wrt this submission.
Let’s be clear: this is an issue with your home network. If it’s not able to cope with a known and documented by RFC scheme for detecting network reattachment, then it’s broken.

Unfortunately, most domestic networking equipment is in my experience awful.
This is a huge straw man if I've ever seen one (and present in many other posts on this thread). To act as if there isn't any logic in the opposing side isn't going to get anywhere.

Because of the very nature of sexual assault, providing evidence up to the standards of the US criminal legal system is very hard to do. It likely means that more harassers get off and very few get wrongful sentences. The logic in supporting a standard that requires less than the US criminal legal system currently is that it will help put away many more guilty people and put away few/none non-guilty people given the rarity of false accusations with evidence that would say, pass a 50/50 guilt test.

The lack of criminal recourse leads to a court of public opinion being the victim's only option often. The court of public opinion is far from fair, which leads back to the idea of working on the criminal recourse options to allow for more victims to actually report and fix this.

You can disagree with some of the premises of that argument, but it's a valid one (philosophically speaking).

In this case, someone was wrongly accused, and even under a 50/50 system, it's clear the charges would not go through, and yes obviously the pre-meditated wrongful accuser should face a punishment. I think some jail time for a pre-meditated false accusation is more than fair. But a discussion and a call for a different legal standard given the uniqueness of these types of cases is perfectly logical.

Instead of complaining about the public lynch mob and blaming the mass of people who likely won't stop, discuss and focus on the problems that prevent it. Like actually getting rape kits tested, creating more avenues for sexual assault reporting via a calmer system than anonymous blog posts, etc.

I decided to try nanobox last Friday, after some troubles with firing up a Vagrant box on my laptop. One instance worked, another one didn't, nothing new...

Unfortunately I realized that to download nanobox I have to register and login and I really don't understand why. I expected to be able to download a binary, write a configuration file and build my service which I'll never run on somebody's else cloud.

So this is not equivalent to Vagrant or docker, which are unregistered downloads or even apt-gets. It's more like running a part of AWS locally in development, but I don't want any lockin for this project.

I went back to Vagrant. It turned out that a halt of the failed box followed by an up fixed the problem. I still don't feel Vagrant to be completely reliable or reproducible but I'll write my docker-compose and Dockerfiles if I want to use something else.

I'd love to hear from nanobox about the reasons for the required registration. Not having to support people like me that won't buy their service would be perfectly fine. I wonder if there is some technical reason that applies also to the basic scenario of firing up a service locally.
