Not true at all, they own the attention of people who would be paying the asset holders. That is (obviously) very valuable.

Street vernacular aside, my guess is the article would have been better received if the author weren't "one of the world’s greatest software developers" who "paid a substantial price to achieve my high level of greatness".

It's that extreme arrogance coupled with calling all these coworkers bitches and hos that makes me "uncomfortable".

Also being broadly racist against white people isn't strengthening the message.

> "In a later post I will certainly discuss how White people have this extreme need to identify with suffering."

Change the word "white" to "asian" or "women" in the post, and you get something that'll immediately get flagged and removed.

I think a lot of us here would love to read, discuss and dissect a post about the different working and social cultures that majority white people set up that lead to barriers for minorities.

But this post ain't it.

To quote the author:

Pretty much, because what HSBC did was illegal and they got caught. The statement you quoted wasn't intended to be a statement that "conventional institutions never cheat", but that there is a regulatory process in place to prevent that (i.e. the one that HSBC cheated around, thus the enforcement action in your link), where with bitcoin there is none.
The difference is always the proportion, obfuscating that is pretty dishonest.

HSBC laundered something like $9 billion for the cartels from 2006 - 2009.[1] As of Dec 2009, they had $2.36 trillion in assets.[2] Money laundering is clearly illegal and $9 billion isn't a small amount of money, but their business wouldn't have changed at all without that 0.3% of dirty cash. You can absolutely make the case that the penalties should be larger (although $2 billion in fines is a pretty good start considering they didn't keep the deposited cash) and that executives should have criminal liability, but there's nuance to both of those things.

There's just no comparison to BTC-E (or any of the darknet markets that people insist are 'just like' eBay) who solely exist to launder money and facilitate illegal goods.

I'd like to see discussion about this on the front page, but I'd prefer articles with more substance. This is just a rant.
This is a great resource. I used it to make a haiku recognizer, since you can easily extract syllable counts per word from it.
Not it isn't.

In a world where there is a expanding numbers of producers/assets and expanding number of consumers (of those assets) coordination (ordering, filtering) can become more valuable. It all depends on what you're integrating over.
I've been working at a standing desk for a year now made of two study card board boxes. Looms ugly, but is at a very comfortable height, and so have declined offers to buy me a 'real' standing desk.

I usually alternate standing and sitting in 80+% standing / 20-% sitting split. I ront feel guilty when I go home and sit on the couch for a bit, my intestines and other organs feel much better now after standing as sitting prolonged hours seemed to squeeze them leading to discomfort. So overall I feel better. Much better.

Initializing a spout of heavy concentration can be difficult while standing up, but once I get going I lose myself in to it.

But I also recommend once every 30 minutes doing some frantic jumping or whatever to move you heart rate up for a minute or two. A timer is good for that.
What's to stop them from terminating the contract a month shy, because of "performance reasons"? Unfortunately this setup would require quite a lot of trust in the industry, which, quite frankly, it has not earned.

The Internet has facilitated the age of the middleman. Owning stuff is expensive.

Therefore, we should be looking for industries where connecting buyers to sellers is the big question! (Or owners to leasers, or lenders to borrowers.)

We should also be looking at why apps that are supposed to do this connecting fail.
You might have chosen bad words, but people reading this should know this statement it false. Python has threads. You can create them and (if you're using linux) see them in the /proc filesystem.

A more accurate statement is: "python bytecode can't execute concurrently w/o something like multiprocessing". The key difference? You can do multithreaded I/O all day long, which is a pretty important use case of threading. You can also hand off work to C and release the GIL, although this isn't as common. Example: XML parsing, regex, numeric work.

FWIW all these gotchas are one of the reasons I love just having complete threading support built in to my language.
What? Laundering often ends up with them paying taxes - for instance by putting tons of cash through a laundromat. Taxes then paid, the criminals are free to spend it as they wish. In fact, that's like, sort of the entire point of it.

Money laundering (as an offence) is just a crude tool to make prosecutor's lives far, far, easier.
Data Masking with Teiid and Delphix/DMSuite
I hate the idea of moving elements around the entire window after I've started using them. I don't want to use the address bar as a search bar, but the overall problem is from a UX standpoint - you start typing into a textbox, and it vanishes/moves into the address bar. That's like starting to turn a knob on a door and your hand is suddenly somewhere else, like down near the bottom of the door or near the top. It's inconsistent and disruptive. It slows down the experience. I didn't come to the page to get tossed around everywhere, I came to search for something and get off of the page as quickly as possible.

And it moves the design closer to the horrible design creeping into applications today: instead of designing for every device, too many apps are designed for the worst platform, which is mobile. Capital One just redesigned their entire site for mobile, which added a lot more navigation/clicks for web users. That's just inferior design. Actually, it's not even design, it's just inferior hack layout.

We live in an era where original web page design was horrible, and somehow we continue to make pages harder and harder to use. There's a pervasive myth among app designers and startups to just 'remove' functionality instead of actually delivering smart functionality. Simplifaction for ease of use is geat, but most simplification is just reducing an app to a single button and just makes real functionality harder to use. Omnibox falls into that trend. Make the search results better, get rid of spam, and stop spending even one second writing code to move the text input around inexplicably.

Good design should be invisible - I shouldn't notice it. Moving elements around after I've started interacting with them is just unnecessary annoyance with no benefit to me as a user. I don't want another crappy universal search bar, which is all this is. I just want to enter a search and move to the next page, so I can try and sift through the crappily selected results Google spits out. I already know Google's results are going to be poor enough I'll have to wade through them, why slow me down up front?

And so on.
This is even worse than i thought then.

I created an app that makes it easy for you to save notes or jot down everything necessary, even allows for HTML and CSS designs. It is called MyPost ( https://mypost.io )

And yes, it was created in part because my memory sucks badly.

After you've created your post, you can save the link and associate it with your email address so you can return back to it later on. Save a bunch of posts and you can always view them later.

While I don't have a routine for day-to-day logs, I use it often to keep track of activities, write to-do lists, even use it to take quick notes, like if I'm working with a client and I write everything down... I create a new MyPost... they can keep track of it and even comment on things that are done or have yet to be done. All URLs are custom and you "own" that URL. I even wrote a post on all the things I thought of what people could do with it.

I don't know much about OSX, but do you really think it will stop him once he is already in the system and has kernel access?

Transaction costs.

Of course. And I'm surprised that the post you're replying to didn't come out and say that, since he brought Ron Coase into the conversation. I mean, for Coase, the effect on markets of non-trivial transaction costs was really the core of his work, at least as I understand it.
It all boils down to incentives, as with many things in biological life: if the only available way of making money is ads, news agencies will optimize for that. I wonder if new tech will provide alternative ways of making money with different kinds of incentives.

Perhaps the reason is to prevent anything from spying on the clipboard. Keyloggers are likely prevented by Secure Keyboard Entry. In contrast, websites cannot spy on clipbaord, so there is not real reason to prevent paste on websites.
DS-Lite[0] means you have proper native IPv6 but only a tunnel on top of that for v4, so it's unlikely that IPv6 connections are negatively affected by this setup.

Edit: On the other hand, if connections via IPv4 were spotty I would not hesitate to suggest problems with NAT or path MTU.
Back in the day nobody could really build an actual profitable business out of mp3, but there's a bunch of industries that've come from mp3 eventually that nobody could quite forsee at the time. Who'd have thought people would give up owning music in exchange for streaming? Who could predict podcasting would grow into such a huge thing?

Nobody could tell you what to do with an mp3, nobody could tell you what you could or couldn't put in it or what you could play it on (licensing I know... but you take my point). Mp3 gave everyone the ability to experiment with audio and distribute it in a way that was incredibly difficult before.

Crypto currencies do the same I think for money, they are an internet native version of something and that "internet nativeness" implies a level of creativity, flexibility and speed of iteration/evolution that can't be matched by offline equivalents.

I understand the questions you're asking and really I have no answers, but I think the "internet nativeness" of something like crypto currencies is not to be underestimated and I think it's why there's so much interest in the area.
I'm guessing he doesn't really need the money at this point, especially given his age.
In Canada we have banking regulations related to money laundering and an oversight agency called FINTRAC. However, anyone with any knowledge in the matter will tell you that a bank will happily tell customers exactly how to structure transactions to achieve what they need without having to report to FINTRAC, and FINTRAC itself has no investigative capabilities.

That this system is entirely to keep up appearances is blatantly obvious, but such a large percentage of the population is making a killing on real estate they have less than zero interest.

If I only like playing with toy cars because my father liked playing with toy cars, and my father only liked playing with toy cars because his father liked it, who was the first father and why did it stick?

The reality is that men and women have different biological compositions with different hormones and different instincts that organically give rise to different behaviors. Sure, toys are toys, and generally any kid will probably be happy with any toy, regardless of gender. But the idea that preferences in childhood development didn't arise organically is honestly not founded in reality.
It disfavors people who choose to live somewhere other than a home they (or their parents before them) have lived for a long time, but it disfavors old people who choose to move just as much as young people who do so.

A 1TB gp2 volume is cheaper than an 1TB, 3000 iops io2 volume, and provides nearly-identical characters.

Only use io2 if you have a latency sensitive application or need more than 10,000 iops. Even then you can RAID10 some gp2 volumes together and with enhanced networking get I believe 30k iops out of one instance.
I'm so perplexed by the other people in this thread who are commenting that they stand 4-6 hours, or even all day. The dramatically different experience we have makes me think there must be some physiological component that makes standing still for long periods more difficult for some, than others.
I wasn't even aware of this feature, sounds dangerous indeed to jump the gun and search for things as I'm entering the search. Search suggestions make sense, overly eager premature searches not so much.
Another point worth considering: even if your site or app does require user accounts (and this is not a given), that's not the same as requiring a password login.

For each user, just store a unique token and secret in local storage. That's their identity and password. So long as they log back in using the same machine (and they don't log out or are in incognito mode or whatever), they're good. For most sites or apps, this will be good enough for 90% of your users 90% of the time.

Now if you want to enable logging back in on another device, just ask for an email during your sign up. Then, when your user logs in from another device, you can email a login link that resets a new token / secret. Maybe a little more inconvenient for the user than just asking for a password, but it's a fairly minor inconvenience and it saves you from having to deal with storing passwords and worrying about screwing that up.

Plus it removes a step from your first-time sign up process! Which probably matters more than ease of re-logging in from another device.

In smaller towns and villages, certainly. I live in the city, and most friends who live in the same city don't have a car. I don't even have a driver's license. If I need a car (to buy furniture or to bring something to the recycling depot), I ask a friend to rent a car for two hours at my expense.

The short version is that disk I/O is integrated with the page cache with all that entails, and allows things like seeking.

To an extent this is a design rooted in a world where disks are much faster than network access. But perhaps that world is coming back with SSD's/NVME/etc..

Across America prices may follow inflation on average, but in the high tech/low construction centers I think it's rising much faster than that.

To be fair, the labor market does have some gotchas. In particular, there's the phenomenon of "price stickiness", which is a big deal in labor (i.e., wage stickiness), but doesn't have nearly so much effect with other goods.

There have been lots of solutions like "SaferCPlusPlus" over the years. In my view, the real reasons why these have not been adopted widely are (1) aversion to any sort of runtime overhead greater than zero; (2) cognitive overhead of introducing new language machinery, type-level or otherwise; (3) interoperability with existing code; (4) few people want to be the first to adopt these kinds of tools in production due to the perceived risk; (5) denial that memory safety problems are indeed problems.

If you're going for wide usage, I think it's actually easier to start over with a new language rather than to try to graft safety features onto C++. A lot of low-level folks don't realize it, but C and C++ are no longer the behemoths they used to be. If you look at the languages people are switching to rather than just absolute usage share, the usage chart [1] paints a very different picture.

It would be interesting to see a study that compares the drop in sperm count to the drop in testosterone, to see if the drop is statistically significant or just a symptom of the drop in testosterone.
This would have all been avoided if MtGox had transferred its coins to a new wallet after the 2011 breach. I guess they assumed that any attacker that got access to the private keys would have immediately emptied the wallet, and the fact that this hadn't happened proved that the private keys hadn't been compromised by the breach.

I have to admit, that is a reasonable assumption. This may show the limits of the usefulness of heuristics, and the importance of organizations like exchanges, that have very significant fiduciary duties, to undertake a systematic process after a security breach to eliminate all possible remaining vulnerabilities, no matter how unlikely and counterintuitive.

Gender and politics. I've noticed that it often doesn't matter _what_ alternative viewpoint you have, if it doesn't align with the predominant view of the thread (which, interestingly, isn't a single philosophy, I've seen multiple threads frontpage with different thrusts, e.g. recently during the tesla harassment discussions) you'll be silenced.

Someone can tell me if this is rose colored glasses or not, but I do feel that "Old HN' downvotes correlated far more directly with "does not contribute to discussion" whereas now it feels a lot more like a reddit style "support/oppose" voting contest.

What bothers me more, and has gotten me "in trouble" on a few occasions for speaking up in defense of hearing out, is that posters more fringe than myself, but who are still making a solid post and useful contribution, are often silenced/flagged into oblivion. It's not even a matter of feeling welcome or not, most people I find who post here regularly are _very_ polite/welcoming, but to watch silent attempts at forming an echo chamber gives me pause.
