Hi Richard,

This is a great idea with a nice social cause. Also,from a business perspective this is a good niche and large scale.
Aside the mission and the targeted niche, how do you expect/plan to diferentiate in your product offering?
"You’re more at risk dying from falling out of bed than you are from terrorism?". I have no argument with the rest of the piece but this (true) statistic is an irrelevance given that there are terrorists who had they possession of nuclear options (literal or otherwise) would not hesitate to use them (planned with or without electronic communication). In this context, assessing risks like this is fatuous given the absence of required information. That doesn't mean that an insurance company might not perform the calculation for an individual but they have different goals from government.
When I was about 6 or 7 there was a complete section of my math textbook which contained informations and example on the BASIC language. We, of course, never read those chapters in class but I did anyways while bored with the actual stuff the teacher would say.

It would use a very simple and systematic flowchart representation to model control flow. The great thing about it is that once you understood < > = (also taught in the class) the whole program could be readable.

I think I was the only one to read it and pretty much got the feeling it wasn't important as nobody, even the teacher, payed any attention to it.

Sure if you can get a serious volume and trade on other exchanges where people are trading and keep it up for a bit, then yes, Coinbase should support your fork.

We'll see in a few more days when real trading is happening where BCC ends up.
Are you disputing whether they should be allowed according to our current laws, or whether they actually exist? There are plenty of women-only or men-only or black-only or Jewish-only or Chinese-only or ... etc. private clubs/organizations. For example Augusta National Golf Club only recently admitted women, and solely due to public pressure / protest; not due to any legal requirement as far as I know.

Surge pricing - at least on Uber - is only re-evaluated at a fixed frequency. Which is to say even if the supply rushes in to fill the void there is still a certain amount of time before the surge is turned off.

I imagine multiple people (heck, many people) can win the game in this period.
It was after 30 days, and my refund policy was "no returns after 30 days". I probably should have sent a message back, but I was a little lazy. While I may have made a customer service error, I don't think I was actually breaking the law, or any part of the customer agreement by doing this.
Thanks for your kind words. Yeah, our search algorithm needs lots of work. It'll get there.

"Richard Bronson" is an awesome name for this. It has real gravitas.
> Wow, only 30 days? That's very very low. REI and other stores here in the US offer up to a year no questions asked return policy.

30 minimum required by law. Not maximum.
No not witdrawals. Is there a Coinbase imposed limit to how many Bitcoins I can send to another wallet? And was that recently implemented?

Coinbase certainly has conversion limits, but anyone that wanted their Bitcoin into Dollars knew about this limit far before the warning of Coinbase only supporting one side of the split, and converting into Dollars means you don't want to risk the split and you should have been diversifying far before Coinbases announcement.
Agreed - I think if they were really set on this they would release a 'pure' kernel or distribution devoid of any proprietary drivers, binaries, or non-GNU licensed code as a demonstration of how a true GNU-'compliant' distribution should look, and we can all see just how little work we can get done on it. This would by necessity exclude any and all access to non-GNU licensed code bases.

Any non-standards compliant hardware, or hardware with extended or proprietary functionality above and beyond the standards would therefore not be supported (as it appears even the offer or availability of such software takes the distribution out of contention for endorsement), meaning there would be very little work done in any realm other that the hobbyist world - giving it a rather small subset of the functionality most system users have come to expect from most *nix flavours.

Anyway - so the wheel turns...

At least GNU stands for something... :)
> This wouldn't be the first time the government has elevated corporate policy to criminal law

The novelty isn't in the crime. It's in the mode of enforcement. Had a police officer knocked on his door and executed a search warrant or the plaintiff filed a motion to compel [1] discovery proceedings [2] with a court, this would have been business as usual.

The novelty is the plaintiff, a private citizen, executed the search warrant themselves. The only party that should be able to force you, on pain of violent punishment, e.g. imprisonment, to do something against your consent is the state, acting on behalf of itself or another party.

Tried a 9-5 job last summer, it was the worst.

Now have 2 remote gigs. Found one via Github, other one via a Facebook freelance group.

The only thing that comes to mind is the sunk costs fallacy. Although it's hard to imagine Theranos ever becoming a success (and certainly, I won't be rooting for it), it might be harder for those who poured millions into the company to let go. That's my guess anyway.
> a company on the stock exchange splitting into two companies

No, that is not what's happening here: Bitcoin is a consensus network where consensus is achieved essentially by mining sequence of blocks, which requires a huge amount of computational power. Each block have a relation with the previous block. Sometimes two or more blocks are mined almost at the same time (creating a fork), miners then choose one and keep mining as fast as they can. At some point one fork will be longer than the other/s, which is when consensus happen: miners abandon the shortest forks and keep mining on the largest one.

While noisy, this process generally means that really outrageous methodological errors or theoretical claims get weeded out. For a good paper, it means that other researchers have pressed them on specific aspects of the work, which often produces stronger work (new methods, better baselines, clearer argumentation, clearer math).

I see that as all true, but irrelevant in this context. If you source material from a pre-print on arXiv, then you should cite it. Seems totally obvious to me. Of course you would prefer the final, published paper if it's available. But that wasn't the question at hand.

And even with all that said... I would argue that in some fields, (cs / ml / etc.) we're getting close to a point where arXiv itself is become almost a parallel publishing mechanism where people cite/publish completely within the arXiv realm, with less regard for "traditional" journals and what-not in general. Especially when you factor in papers from researchers who come from industry, as opposed to academia, and care less about some of the normal trappings of academic publishing.

I adore arXiv but still believe it's a preprint.

Of course it's a pre-print. I didn't contend otherwise. I'm just saying that, from my perspective, it's obvious that you should cite a pre-print if it's relevant.

I will allow though, that norms probably vary from field to field, and as a non-academic, my take is likely different from, say, somebody who is deeply immersed in academia, pursuing tenure, etc.
Well, if you look at the design goals of WebAssembly [1], you'll see very different high-level goals. Sure, there is some intersection, but not nearly as much as you seem to believe.

Now, there are very good reasons to not ship bytecode (e.g. because once you standardize the bytecode on which your VM runs, you're dead in the water and your VM stops evolving). The binary AST was carefully designed to avoid this issue.

Indeed, as written in the proposal, there is no guarantee that sending bytecode would be any faster to transmit/parse/start. Moreover, experiments suggest that it wouldn't. On the other hand, if you have read the proposal, you have seen that experiments with binary AST suggest that it is faster to transmit/parse/start.

As for committees, well, that's how the web works. It is certainly not perfect, but it beats single-vendor-decides-everything.

It means a significant amount of racism.
> Violent retribution by one private individual against another is already a right in many places if you're defending yourself

If Person A violently attacks Person B, then Person B has a right to defend themselves on the legal theory that Person A instigated the violence. "Credible threat" clauses muddy the line, but continue to rest on the pedestal of reaction versus action [1].

Here a court gave a company the right to instigate violence against the defendant. At least to this American, that's absurd.

Topic Suggestions for Millions of Repositories
> I suppose it's possible that it's more meant as "it's being worked on" rather than "this is not a real issue, stop complaining", but the acknowledgement that it's actually an issue for people using release builds seem to be missing whenever nightlies are brought up in these sorts of responses.

I think that's the right assumption, because it's an acknowledgement that the issue actively being worked on to the degree that they have at least a partial solution implemented, as opposed to the "someone is working on that" response language developers sometimes give which usually predates that and could mean someone is reading literature and surveying the field and no code has actually been written.

As you note, because development is so open, nightlies are easily accessible, so people might incorrectly infer that they are being recommended to use them, or that the problem is solved. I think what the devs are attempting to communicate is that it's close, and if you want you can test it out to see what it's like and give feedback. This might be a case of similar groups with slightly different context (lang devs / lang users) interpret a statement differently. From what I've seen, the Rust devs see fairly responsive to communication issues when pointed out, so maybe this will result in some change (or perhaps they are acutely aware of the issue already and instituted changes have not shown benefit, at least yet).
> Bitcoin main, on the other hand, is moving toward SegWit, which introduces third-party middlemen.

SegWit does not introduce third party middlemen. SegWit is just a different way to calculate the transaction hash that needs to be signed, such that it doesn’t include the signature script. This was arguably the way it should have been all along, since the signature script itself isn’t signed (it contains the signature). This means bypassers can modify it without invalidating the modified transaction (if they don’t touch the actual signature data but only add e.g. a NO_OP opcode).
Let's hope this was an anomaly, if a disturbing one.

Unfortunately, given the palpable desperation of the corporations actions, I fear it may not be.
You mean ESPECIALLY as a paying customer! You paid for the right to bitch, and you should.
If that's the law then yes?
> it was not as advertised

I read carefully, and did not see anything to suggest the item was not as advertised. I saw someone complain that they did not like various aspects. Absent an explicit money-back guarantee of satisfaction, I see no reason why the vendor should have to cater to every buyer's demand.
Damn, a real hack!
It would be pretty easy to build a service to coordinate this. (And of course Uber would whine about it even though that's exactly the kind of thing they do all the time)

Sex Toys You Must See Here At Dear Lady
I am a big fan of internet platforms and everything but I just do not see a value in online shopping for physical goods.
Sure it might be a good thing for shopping "disposable/every day use stuff" but why would I be buying something like a cooking pan (as someone mentioned) online ?
If you know the cooking pan you want then yeah i agree amazong might be the most convenient thing but for stuff like that I just want to see them first and maybe I might buy other related stuff if I see it goes well together.

And I am telling you all this as a person that hates shopping in person.
You say that, yet I'd never heard of jet.com.
Have you ever gotten banned somewhere for a chargeback? I haven't that I know of. But, then, I never reach that point with anyone I've ever wanted to do any more business with, so maybe I got banned without noticing.
No, this Anton Piller thingy has originated in Common Law BUT the Quebec Court of Appeal has "accepted" it in Civil Law, see:

Yes, we're not disagreeing.
What if someone just maintained a list of "bad" npm packages, and you could run your package.json against that service to make sure you didn't accidentally install crossenv instead of cross-env?
"The music was at once futuristic and nostalgic, slightly melancholy, and quite subtle: Even the digital noise samples it used—basically sonic detritus—seemed sensitively integrated."

I had some difficulty taking the rest of the article seriously after reading this. I know music is subjective, but I think the author may have been projecting somewhat.
Technically _most_ ship with a C compiler and a python compiler since pretty well every linux distribution & bsd distribution has those. But that really doesn't have anything to do with which language you should use.

Morgan DeBaun on reaching 20M millennials with Blavity (video and transcript)
At least I'm pretty sure they (the cable companies) won't be able to use anything they got there in court.

But let's be real for a moment, that man, if he sues, will get absolutely nothing in return.

Still, it's about time Canada starts getting real laws.

This and the people held hostage without AC or water in a plane for 5 hours+ is a proof at how backward this country really is.
The Majestic Marble Quarries of Northern Italy
I bought a device through an Amazon seller. It developed a fault after 10 months, within the warrenty period. The seller told me to return it, but then after I sent it they would not answer emails. After three months with no contact I started complaining. In the end Amazon told me they could do nothing and recommended I perform a chargeback!

As you found from looking into the costs of return shipping, "free" shipping can actually cost a retailer quite a bit of their margin. They are attempting to remain price competitive by not pricing in the cost of returns. Amazon has a massive advantage here over small retailers because their shipping costs are much lower due to their scale.

These sorts of shipping policies used to be the norm, until Amazon realized that people value free shipping more than an equivalent discount.
Uber was actually a little too early into the game. They are going to have legacy issues transitioning into self-driving taxis. The whole end-game with this is to have self-driving cars and get rid of drivers, this was the stated goal at least 4 years ago.

This is where Tesla is going to have an advantage. They're going to start with self-driving, no need to deal with pissed off drivers and other problems that come with a transition. Same thing with their dealerships - they didn't have to deal with the dealer-franchise system.

How come 1 in 3 adults in the USA have a criminal record?
The greek language is not dead, it is still spoken by about 15 mil. people worldwide. "Porfyro" is the deep red color that can be frequently experienced in esp. greek orthodox churches (even in apparell dating many hundreds of years), and "Glauco" is the shiny blue of the aegean sea that made the greek islands famous worldwide.

The words that the greeks used (and still use) have the purpose of describing the natural world, not of scientificaly defining colors according to a theory of vision.

Even the modern theory of color vision acknowledges the principles of color constancy and color adaptation.
Understood. thanks for letting us know. we're on it.
This is often the case with fashion and/or sports items, the more popular colour combinations costing more.

Running shoes for instance: when I was last buying a pair of trail trainers the brightly coloured version of the shoe I currently prefer was being offered considerably cheaper than the all-black-except-high-vis-strips version. This was from the same sellers too, it wasn't due to the listing offering items from multiple outlets as is sometimes the case.

I would have preferred the darker version but I'm perfectly happy not to care about colour to save a bit of cash to spend on something else, but if I had paid the extra, as someone buying a fashion item to match an overall look might well do, and not got that version anyway I'd be expecting a cost-free replacement.
I don't see how segwit is giving up decentralization at all. Decentralization isn't binary. There will be many many providers that can offer more streamlined and user friendly access to bitcoin. That's decentralization. You will still have the option of interacting with the blockchain directly. That's decentralization.
This seemed incredibly questionable for me when I read it. Of course, if he was prevented from consulting with his lawyer, how would he know if this is an empty threat or not?

A Tweet for Every Occasion
Facebook.com does a lot more than show a newsfeed, profiles, and notifications.

- It contains a fully-fledged messenger application that supports payments, videoconferencing, sharing rich media etc
- The newsfeed supports interactive 360-degree video, a live video player, mini-games in the newsfeed, and lots of other rich/interactive media
- It's a gaming platform for 3rd party games
- It's a discussion forum, groups management system, event planning UI
- Photo sharing and editing platform, as well as live video streaming tool
- A platform for businesses to have an online presence (Pages)
- A peer-to-peer online marketplace (called "Marketplace")

And a dozen other things I can't think of right now. You might say "but I don't use all of those things". That's another tricky part, the fact that every user has a different "configuration" and different types of content in their newsfeed at any given moment, requiring them to be served different sets of JavaScript code.
In my experience, that's a very true observation
