Well said. I have found such positions for people like this twice now in my career.
75% of the hashrate was just advertrolling. Which had the side effect of keeping the difficulty high. They should have forked Bitcoin and used a different PoW... Oh wait that's Litecoin.

It's probably not a discrete number or even heuristic (like number of years you've been in good standing). Rather it's probably another part of their machine learning backend that tracks trends and user behavior as a whole.

But as a guess, if you're a new account, maybe 2 or 3 times. For every year you've been a member, probably 1.5 times that number per year up to some max (let's say, 7).
There are no strings attached. I was really surprised when they contacted me on IRC, but they already sponsor other orgs, like the Gnome Foundation or Freenode, as you can see on their frontpage: https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/ .
Allowing BCC withdrawal doesn't mean it has to happen day one. But they could have said "within x days we will offer BCC withdrawl". That is better than they did.

Explain how you'd lose both coins? (If you mean 'well they could rush a code change and lose all their money', yes that's a risk. They shouldn't rush it.) The BCC chain has 2 way replay protection (granted, late addition) - but if it didn't, then Coinbase should have actively moved coins on BCC to prevent replays.

And if they "might", then it's unclear. That's just saying they're going to wait and see if BCC is popular enough. Instead they should have defined criteria of what popular enough is, and that'd have put to rest people's concerns.

All I'm objecting to is that "they handled it the best", which is clearly not the case.
I am baffled. That is some seriously dangerous lawmaking. Essentially a corporation was given the go ahead to gather evidence, in a private citizens house, for its own case. I don't see how this event can be twisted into any other story.

This looks promising! I'm a bit unclear on who the target audience is though. Techies? Regular folks? Techies who want to secure their loved ones? Are you trying to take out the hassle of configuring Pi Hole on a VPS, or to create an easy solution for the average person? It seems like the former to me, so just making sure that you're aware that's how the site comes across.

If you can afford it I would get a professional designer to take a look at the site. It looks pretty good but it's a little bit "off", rough around the edges somehow.

If you're targeting tech people it won't matter as much, but still, first impressions are important.

Best wishes :)
Items shipped by sellers in China often have such asymmetric shipping costs that the cost of returning them to China might be more than the entire item is worth.
The cost of the item vs shipping cost matters too. I've had it done a bunch of times for less than $10 items.
I wonder which browser you're using, because there are plenty that come rather close to your definition (e.g. Midori), but odds are really high that you're not using them - because nobody is.

Thing is, if Mozilla wants to stay relevant, it has to find out what users want and deliver that. These experiments are one way to do that.

There's no "The Email Company" to fix such vulnerabilities.

Given the damage that could have been caused, the prank is incredibly harmless. At worst it has temporarily embarrassed a few people already shown to be immune to embarrassment.
I’ve had it happen when I ordered a CAT6 cable I ended up not needing. I tried to return it and they never send a shipping label. I called support and they said to keep it. This was ~2 years ago and an easy item to resell.
A guideline to keep in mind (from https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html): "Please don't use uppercase for emphasis. If you want to emphasize a word or phrase, put asterisks around it and it will get italicized."

Also: "Please resist commenting about being downvoted. It never does any good, and it makes boring reading." Though I'm personally fine with legitimate questions about expected behavior.
Huh, I just made an account with the the PIA folks. Glad to know that my very reasonable monthly fee is helping to support great projects.
I like this part of the pitch: "Ads on news sites gobble up as much as 79% of users' mobile data. Why are you wasting valuable data to see ads?"

Precious data –– there's only so much of it, and when we burn it all, it'll be gone.

Coinbase users don't have a private key for their Coinbase balance. They have an account with Coinbase, and Coinbase has their own private keys for their internal wallets. When you withdraw money from Coinbase, you're asking them to use their private keys to sign a transaction sending bitcoins to an address you specify.

What users could have done was withdraw their Coinbase balance into their own wallet, then they'd have coins on both forks. This had to be done before the fork happened, though. Now that it has, anyone whose coins were in Coinbase at the time of the fork is at the mercy of Coinbase.
You are getting a dedicated VPS, so there is no cross traffic sharing between other subscriptions. You can also disable logging if you don't want to graphs. A Raspberry Pi has to be set up on your own local network, and you'd have to open up that port to the world to be able to use it from outside your home, which has farther reaching security issues. This is limiting that exposure to a dedicated VPS outside your network.

it's a good thing in the short term, but it also feels like an exercise of monopoly power by Amazon, which is going to be bad for consumers in the long run. can a business afford not to be listed on Amazon? in the long term, does Amazon have any interest in listing third parties?

at some point I think the answer to both of these questions will be no, and then I'd expect the good customer experience to erode pretty quickly as Amazon realizes they can squeeze as much profit as they want out of customers and retailers.
"The embattled Silicon Valley firm told investors in June that it had about $54 million left on hand. It was spending about $10 million a month then, but anticipated further reducing its burn rate.

Theranos in June was seeking to raise about $50 million from existing investors. The company declined to comment on whether it had succeeded in doing so, or on its current cash position. It isn’t clear when Theranos will make the payments to Walgreens."
On the subject of amazon alternatives, when I'm buying new books I check bookdepository.com (free international shipping!), wordery.com (free international shipping!) and booksplea.se (free international shipping!) first.

They don't have the range of books that amazon does, but they beat amazon on price often enough to make them worth checking (and every so often, they really undercut amazon).
I returned three smartphones over the course of a few months, because each had some hardware failure. I kept the fourth one. Amazon sent an email asking for details. I guess that behavior flagged me somehow.
If there's no practical way to sell bitcoin cash, where does the $700 valuation come from?
Doesn't uber itself game the surge pricing? That is, they'll show you surge prices more often if you have shown a tendency to accept them.
Except if you go out running without your phone you can't call 911 to report a car crash or someone needing medical attention. Has happened twice for me and I'm glad I had a cell phone. Maybe the next generation smart watches will include LTE voice call functionality.
It's still no excuse for Coinbase to hold onto something that is not theirs.
What if the aggressive dog eat dog culture is what sparks innovation? What if having amazing beaches and hardly any need for cash is a recipe for underachievement?

People have options. If they choose the valley, they're choosing it for a reason. It's already easy enough to find remote work as a talented programmer and live wherever you want. If that's you priority, you do that.

If you want the competition and the buzz and the drive, you go where the people with those shared values are concentrated (NY or SF). Where you have to either bust your ass or risk ending up on the street like the people you see on Market every day. This propels you forward at a rate that is difficult to replicate elsewhere.
Hi, I work for Google on Android developer UX, including Architecture Components and the Support Library. Looking to collect as much feedback as I can. Requirements+approach+pain points preferred, but if you prefer to just vent I'll also take it as data. Thanks, and sorry to spam the thread.
I'm incredibly glad they forced them to display the logo. Now you can tell it was the bad uber driver that just tried to hit you.

"Took over" meaning, in substantial terms?
Was their any actual limit to moving Bitcoins held in Coinbase to another wallet/software? If there are why is it a problem now and not always?
In Germany, there is a law that anything (I’m sure there are exceptions) sold online can be returned in the 30 days after delivery. So Amazon or not, companies must allow this anyway. Also some non-Amazon online stores offer "returnless refunds" for some items or just ship a new one to you in case of damaged item. Apart from forcing the vendors to pay for retouring the new policy is similar to German regulations and businesses seem to be OK here. Amazon could help (if it doesn’t already) vendors by providing some "rate" on a customer, if they buy a lot and return a little, then likely they are genuinely unhappy with product, and decide upon customer’s history if they are entitled to refund or if they are abusing the system.
If anything, the political move would've been Oracle's sponsorship of btrfs in the first place. They want to push people to enterprise OS/storage systems, so they've told everyone "Oh yeah, btrfs is coming soon, it'll be great" ... and it isn't great. It sucks.

I've finally broken and installed ZOL (ZFS on Linux) after trying btrfs repeatedly over the last three years. ZFS is already a breath of fresh air and I've only been using it a couple of months. For whatever reason, btrfs came together as a messy hodge-podge, and it shows in bad performance for many use cases (e.g. "omg I forgot nodatacow"), buggy implementations, difficult user interfaces, kernel bugs, etc.

btrfs needs a reboot (I hear bcache? is trying). Meanwhile, everyone should stop getting hung up on the arcane licensing details and just use ZFS directly. It can't be distributed as part of the kernel, but that's why we have distributions, isn't it? They bundle all that crap together for us. There shouldn't even be the normal OSS infighting because this isn't a proprietary blob or something, it's just using a license that's GPL-incompatible.

The best thing Linus could do for the community at large would be to fork and start committing to ZOL, giving it a tacit endorsement.
I've had this happen multiple times. I have, on a few occasions, received defective products, or requested to return something I didn't want, and Amazon simply refunded me or shipped me a replacement without asking any follow-up questions.

I suspect Amazon's decision process, when you request a refund or return, may have something to do with your purchase history, and also the return and defect rate of the product in question.
Oh, don't get me wrong, they spy on everyone, so I don't doubt they spied on him. I don't even doubt it was deliberate. I just want to see more proof of the specifics.
I for one am very grateful Red Hat does not do that. We have a kernel driver for custom hardware, there's around 80 of these devices in the world, split roughly 50/50 between Windows and Red Hat users. While these devices are not cheap, we could not recoup the cost of maintaining it if we had to track the upstream kernel all the time - we tried, and could not justify the cost.

The number of times the APIs changes from under your feet is astounding - even with just keeping up with Red Hat, we spend around 4-6 times the engineering time on the driver compared to what we do with the Windows version of the driver, tracking upstream gave us almost an order of magnitude more work (And keep in mind that /only/ supporting the most recent upstream kernel is rarely an option - several versions need to be supported concurrently)
This is valuable also where there are places of clear mis-fit in the system such as when I received spoiled food through Amazon. The bag was torn open and product spoiled, coating everything, and I was requested to mail it back before I could receive a refund.

There was no alternative course, it felt maddening, especially considering I had submitted photos and knew there was no chance for their resale.
It comes down to logistics. Maybe I'm a smaller restaurant, and I want to serve BBQ or fresh bread. Might not be feasible for them to smoke a brisket every day if they're not a brisket place, but you can definitely freeze some brisket and bring it back to life in pretty good quality. It doesn't improve it, but it lets a restaurant serve something that they otherwise couldn't.

Same goes for fresh bread. Maybe they want to serve pastrami sandwiches in Manhattan, but the best rye bread they can find is in Detroit, and so they have their baker freeze the bread and ship it over. It's not that the bread is better because it was frozen, but they're able to get better bread because they could freeze it.
Thing is, gun control laws work. See Scotland after Dunblane, Australia after Port Arthur. See Canada’s per-capita murder rate and gun death rate in comparison to those of the U.S., where gun control laws are essentially nonexistent.

Passing the right laws on drugs (abuse) works (see Portugal). Prohibition doesn’t, but treatment does. (And, the truth is that the drug laws in the U.S. are working; they just aren’t working for the citizenry, but the police state. This is by design, and there’s a not-insignificant marginalization/targeting of minorities by design in these laws, too.)

Encryption is…rather more subtle to deal with, because you cannot weaken it for one purpose without weakening it for all purposes, because math and physics. Better that they work on laws that target actions and behaviours rather than technologies. Then again, any time I see a politician talking about terrorism, I recognize that they are attempting to increase their own power at the expense of those without power to begin with.
I already had a small business do this for me on Amazon voluntarily. They refunded my small purchase price and asked me to donate the item. I felt so guilty I wouldn't have even asked for a refund if I had known. You bet I did give the item away.
I'm stuck on an iPhone because someone else pays for it. I haven't ever cared to look at the background data being used but I would say on the app side I rarely use a stock Apple app.
It isn't IQ. It is environmental culture during childhood development. If you grow up in a family that values intellectualism you will probably be intellectual, curious, logical, and skeptical. If you grow up in a family that is hostile to intellectualism, you are more likely to be ignorant and manipulated by emotional falsities as well.

The problem is more kids are growing up anti-intellectual than intellectual. IQ has nothing to do with that, intellectuals uplifted civilization from effectively universal anti-intellectualism (at least in Europe) in the 16th century to where we are now.

We have the most intellectuals ever now, but that doesn't mean we are close to a majority, and that also means as long as anti-intellectualism is prevalent you need systems of rule by minority (in various forms) to see progress happen.

Anyone got links to sites that try to aggregate and/or compare the various sandboxing solutions in Windows that are open-source?
Love what you are doing. This is the kind of startup I love to see being pushed forward.

With lower entry barriers for tech startups, one would expect to see more startups that fight for a better world, instead of startups who fight for selling your data faster, or detecting your face better to overlay a duckface on top of it.

This is why seeing a startup like yours makes me hopeful.

Wish you best of luck!
It's not a first world phenomenon alone. For most people around the world, the food they've grown up with is almost part of their identity and also a comfort factor. It's one reason why many people have real struggles, with themselves, when wanting to change their food habits and give up what they're used to. One might argue that people being stuck to certain things sounds silly, but it's the reality around. To have large scale change, we need such alternatives.
> After extensive differential debugging in ProcMon (comparing AppContainer vs non-AppContainer execution), I realized the issue might actually be with the detected Windows version. Tavis’s code always self-reported the Windows version as Windows XP. My code was reporting the real underlying operating system; Windows 10 in my case. Verification via WinDbg proved that this was indeed the one and only issue causing the initialization failures. I needed to lie to MpEngine about the underlying Windows version.

This doesn't make sense to me. It may have been easier to accomplish within the author's skillset, but it seems to me that the more beneficial approach would be to modify Tavis’ code to report the correct version of Windows.
Yes, Coinbase would control the private keys for any bitcoin stored there. So the issue is most likely that Coinbase hold's the majority of it's digital currencies in cold storage - essentially stored on air-gapped computers.

To redeem your bitcoin cash (BCH), you have to import your private keys into a new bitcoin cash wallet, and then transfer them. If you do not transfer your BTC to a new wallet before importing your private keys to the BCH wallet, a malicious wallet could then have access to both your BCH and BTC.
With replay protection, the solution is to move your BTC to a new wallet, then import the old private keys (with a balance of 0 BTC, but still has BCH associated) to the BCH wallet.

Hopefully you can see all of the failure points here. I have coins stored in cold storage and haven't yet bothered to claim any BCH due to the hassle, and lack of exchanges where you can sell it.
A company has not only totally failed in the market but employed deception which lead to a lawsuit, my question is how do they have any money left at all? Isn't this such a miss that whatever was left should just be returned to investors and the company close down. Does anyone have a scenario where this company becomes viable?
> Coinbase isn't the only source to buy/sell BCC.

That's not what this is about. They want to withdraw their BCC which duplicated from their BTC.

> I think it's ridiculous that a company could be sued because they don't offer a new service.

I think it's ridiculous if a company, very similar to a bank, couldn't be sued when they effectively haircut their customers of 20% profit of their coins.
I wonder if this is a push for sellers to move their goods to Amazon warehouses...

That said, Amazon should also provide buyer metrics to sellers so sellers can choose to sell items to customers unless that buyer has a "bad rating" (i.e. they do a lot of returns).

This has a chance at being good for everyone if done correctly, but it seems like only half the equation has been implemented.

How do you use Slack to document online status? Does someone maintain a record of status timestamps? That sounds terribly degrading not to mention a bureaucratic nightmare. And it's very easily gamed. But most importantly, you should challenge the notion that time online is a good performance metric.
Thanks so much for your kind words! I appreciate it.

eBay needs to reduce seller costs and they will take over with buying it now prices. Also no tax.
Logo on an Apple IIe was my first language. I was in second grade, and I enjoyed it immensely. Partly it was because I quickly moved to making animations with it, rather than static drawings. When I made a working analog clock (there was no pause() that I knew of so I made the turtle spin in place to simulate one, and had to measure the correct number of spins!). Of course, with animations you can do arbitrary things, like build games.
