This article is a boldface warning about Bitcoin, but not necessarily in the sense intended. If we're scandalized by the very mild trading behavior described, we are in way over our heads in any kind of market at all.

Well the government shouldn't modulate how it executes the law based on the optics or media impact. And as you said, this move shows that they didn't think the UK would agree with their evidence, which is far more reason for this snatching to be worrying.

I don't think computer games are the likely intended use of Wingnut's technology: I think Peter really wants to use it in film-making, e.g. live preview of compositing and effects.

Suppose you attach it to a camera rig, or just integrate the technology into existing film cameras. The problem of holding the camera up all day has been solved, and having to play the cameraman is the point of the exercise.

Even if that country was North Korea and the crime was punishable by execution? 40 years in prison is extreme for $2000. They might as well execute him. And yes, I compared the US to North Korea, but when it comes to cyber security laws they really aren't that much different. The punishments are way out of proportion to the crimes. You'd be better of killing someone than hacking them.

How to Use Jio TV Play Without Jio SIM Card
The issue is that upgrading every sign with a transmitter is costly, would require power and ongoing maintenance (not to mention vandalism - a sign is just metal and usually pretty resistant, but any electronics will be destroyed by vandals in no time).

An online database that can be cached (so you aren't in trouble if your network drops while you go through a tunnel or similar) is much cheaper to implement than upgrading physical signs.
What would be even better is if cellular plans just covered the actual data at a set rate and let you connect as many devices as you want. At the end of the day that 'should' be all they care about.
Creating and selling is also normal course of operation, penetration testing tools, offensive tools used by various gov. entities, rootkits used by some entertainment conglomerates to "protect their ip" they are routinely created and sold.
It says "11 months since last commit" for me. Either way it's wrong. Brackets was updated 3 hours ago (https://github.com/adobe)
Flagged because the title is sensationalist and doesn't reflect the content of the article (even if you believe the article itself). Seems much more like FUD against Bitfinex.

Even if "Spoofy" was able to dominate Bitfinex (which they couldn't with the described tactics) that would be a far cry from dominating the price of Bitcoin. There are so many more exchanges.

I started doing doing some trading for fun and profit a few months ago, and "fake walls" were very well known to all users of Poloniex (there used to be a public chat there, so I learned about those almost immediately). It's a sure thing that there are whales manipulating the market, but that's for sure not a single entity, it's not limited to bitfinex, and if you want to gamble on this bubble you have to deal with it.

Cool music tech search engine Tricks with DuckDuckGo
A more costly, less elegant solution whose problem is already shared by street signs in general (meaning we could plan for it) would be RFID tags or something that tells the computer what sign this is if it can't read the sign. You could also use this for training, so it learns to filter away poorly drawn swastikas from the sign.

An attack on something like this would scale very poorly, as you would need physical access to all street signs. Issuing RFID to a street sign would be just another step along the manufacturing process of the sign, or as a step to the mounting of the sign.

I can't take credit for this idea though, it's already been [explored in a paper](https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-642-41647-7_...).

i think the idea is that if theres a bear market in the real economy, more people will flee into the virtual one
And there is a reason why we design signs the way we do and not use optical illusions.
Alright, so this is an image augmentation problem. Another training set with white noise variations, random unrelated pixellation/overlay texts can solve this. Simply your training wasn't general enough.
Delve and the VSC integration is great. Just note that it's historically been quite buggy and unstable. Worse, for a long time it wasn't practically possible to use Delve on macOS due to changes introduced in 10.12 [1] [2]. It should be better now, though.

He’s going to go through a trial by his peers, he’s not likely going to receive the max sentence, and even then he likely wouldn’t serve the max sentence for a nonviolent crime (he’d be paroled).

Compare that to being convicted without a fair trial, being sent to a labor camp, and running the risk of being sent home in a body bag.

I understand hyperbole but let’s not kid ourselves, NK is one of the worst places in the world to draw government ire.
Slight sign modification will not fool humans at least not on this manner.

This looks like a couple of bumper stickers will cause problems even when they do not obstruct the actual sign.

This is a pretty big issue that will have to be dealt with.
The downvotes were probably from the original phrasing before the post was edited. It said something along the lines that anyone who was interested in this kind of stuff would obviously have already seen it. I totally agree that the title is completely misleading though in that it's not a "reveal" if they've already shown the whole thing before.

> You understand that the vast majority of jobs in Silicon Valley are not start ups. Google, Apple, Facebook -- these aren't start ups, and people aren't working 20 hour days there.

The guy I responded to was talking about startups and VC funding, so that's why I focused on startups.

> Moreover it's just not the case that someone can be productive for 20 hours a day for any extended period of time. Maybe you can do that for a few days, max, but then your productivity plummets and you'd be better off working 8 hours.

Sure. But when you have deliverables and are time constrained, you just don't have much choice. The client has expectations and we had to work extra hard to meet them. 20 hour workdays are definitely not viable over the long term.

> This notion that 20 year olds have amazing concentration ability, rather than just poor time management, is believed only by 20 somethings with poor time management skills.

I mostly talked about stamina, energy, quicker to learn, etc. Not sure about concentration ability, but I do tend to think younger people with a passion are better at concentrating and focusing on something. Also, I'm no longer a 20 something. Sadly, I'm one of those heading to 40s rather quickly.

I didn't mean to upset people. I was just talking from experience and trying to explain why VC money goes to younger founders and why startups prefer younger devs.

That formula isn't going to change until older founders and older devs start creating googles, facebooks, apples, microsofts, etc.

It isn't a bias against older people since almost all of the VC investors are older people in their 40s, 50s, etc. It's a matter of what demographic has delivered the 1000000% returns.

It isn't set in stone. Money will go where money is made. Especially in a high risk, high reward environment like the startup sector.

Believe me, as someone who is older now, I would like nothing more than to see things change. Being viewed as over-the-hill when you turn 30 is a difficult pill to swallow.
Since the sign is just metal, it could serve as the antenna. Bury the transmitter beneath the ground, there you could also hook it up to the power grid (unless you use the sign's surface to act as a solar panel). I would like to see vandals mess with that.

However, it ain't cheap and simple to implement, I agree with that. In countries like Sweden, Finland, Iceland, Canada and Australia they probably have the means to outfit their cities since they have the wealth to do it, but the rural areas would be a real challenge since they are so sparsely populated even when the money is there. In contrast to when these countries pioneered the implementation of the Internet, there's nothing like the phone network to piggy back this time.
Its human nature to create similar behaviours in similar conditions. Early Bitcoin anarchists who thought that they will be able to avoid "banks and governments manipulating with the money" must be really bitter to find out that manipulation is always going on, the entities in the Bitcoin world are just named different from "banks" and "governments".

The story definitely matters, I agree. But if you're good at making that story up as you read the book, why bother coming to class? I'd also argue that not everything is completely out of date. Only things like cytology or genetics and autoimmune disorders from what I can gather. Pathology is largely the same, as in the manifestations don't really change. You can get by studying a First Aid board review book from a few years ago and still pass step 1. Physiology doesn't really change, only treatments targeting the pathophysiology.

Medical Schools largely understand that everyone studies and learns differently and that's why they don't mandate you come to lectures. They're recorded for your own benefit as well. My professors would also provide several different learning methods throughout the preclinical courses to really hammer in those mainstay concepts regardless of how you learn. Be it quizzes, or team based learning, or straight lecture.
I'm don't know of a good textbook that explains it well. But for an example of a textbook that gets it wrong, see Mankiw's introductory macro book. Mankiw alludes to the important brake on credit creation (capital constraints), but dismisses them as 'arcane', then goes on to describe a fractional reserve system that doesn't really exist anymore.

I've pieced together what I can from reading blogs (Frances Coppola [0] is very informative in this regard). The Bank of England wrote a document explaining their view of the process of money creation [1], which is widely accepted as correct.

Passive or Semi-Active RFID isn't expensive.

I think computer vision, a sign DB an IR water marked QR code and some RFID combined can produce a pretty robust and tamper reselient system.

> What makes humans still excel at these edge cases?

It is rather that we built the signs in a way such that they are very robust for the human visual system to detect.

It should be trivial to measure performance these days and figure out if there indeed is/isn't any biological difference or if certain parts of DNA/cultural background etc. are the decisive factors. It's Google anyway, "The ML company". They should internally test this hypothesis and then publish their findings (hopefully they can do objective studies with high integrity). If diversity programs cause them become less competitive, they will wither at some point; if diversity helps them they will earn economical success (unless all companies become alike). They have a perfect playground internally for that.

Whenever this sort of issue comes up, there are a number of responses pointing out that humans can be fooled too, and I am guessing that the generally unstated implication is that therefore it is not a big deal. Two important differences that this point of view overlooks are that humans are usually able to tell when they are not fully understanding their visual input, and they are able to respond appropriately, which includes acting cautiously and taking actions that will help resolve the uncertainty. Artificial visual systems that have, at best, only a rudimentary understanding of what they are looking at, are in no position to act this way, and can assign high confidence values to what we would regard as ludicrous interpretations of the scene.

These things will be fixed in time. There is nothing to be gained by pretending that they are not problems.
Yup, In my town most signs have been creatively modified in some way. Gonna be a scary time. That said, I feel like most signs can safely be ignored if you already know the route, as avs would. Maybe construction signs should just have a specific blinking led pattern to override..
The issue I have with this is that our legal system is adversarial (by design) and as such the police have no incentive to either help you or keep your best interests in mind.

From 5 minutes of googling it looks to me like it's been collectively quietly moved on from, but that it's not broken.

Put it this way: it's in Boost. Boost is an established standard. If a library in Boost suddenly stopped working because of language changes, that would produce some kind of response. In GIL's case, it looks like may be a reasonable number of quiet users of GIL, so any such "okay, we need to do something about this" might be met with a collective "wait, hold up, let's fix it."

Note I said might. I honestly have no idea.

What I did was search for "adobe gil" but date-restricted the search to after 2007: https://www.google.com/search?q=adobe+gil&tbs=cdr%3A1%2Ccd_m...

That gave me

The project only has 15 stars, 7 watches and 20 forks, but

- https://github.com/boostorg/gil/graphs/contributors shows a total code churn of 214,889 added lines, 99388 removed lines (data without context - could be due to version control shuffling) between about 15 committers (I didn't count them)

- https://github.com/boostorg/gil/pulse shows... not much, because I can only show 1 month max :(

- Of the 4 issues, none have been closed, but there is extensive discussion between maintainers on one of them (on what looks like a setup issue).
