>That wouldn't be a proof though. The article is about exhausting the problem space rather than a probabilistic approach.

Not what I'm saying. I would suggest that absolute certainty is impossible wrt verifying conventionally proved theorems as well.
> The Bitcoins are still mine, even i keep them in a coinbase wallet.

Right, that's governed by your contract with Coinbase, and is the service they offer.

> Now every btc owner gets bcc.

No, everyone controlling a BTC wallet is now also controlling a BCC (or BCH, I've seen both used as the abbreviation) wallet with an equal number of coins.

I'm guessing rights to coins on alternative chains that Coinbase ends up controlling due to BTC forks are not covered in your contract with Coinbase.
"What happened here was not that the pickiest and most careful investors scrutinized Snap closely and made the bold decision not to buy its stock. Instead, the very least picky possible investors -- the index funds, whose mandate is to buy all the stocks in the market -- are the ones who won't be buying Snap. It makes no sense: In a reasonable world, you'd expect the passive funds to be passive buyers of whatever the market provides, while active funds would make active decisions about what the market should provide. In our actual world, though, the passive funds have all the power, and the active funds are constrained to follow their lead" (Matt Levine, [1]).

Theranos is clearly a failure. 14 years of wasting investors money, 700million (?) down the drain, nothing to show for it except bad publicity, FBI and FDA investigations and major compliance issues.

Ah, SNOBOL. I learned in a class, apparently because the instructor had written a book on it. The good news was that the book was out of print, and so he provided photocopies. The better news was that it prepared me to encounter awk and Perl.

The current spell of freedom in Spain isn't the culmination of some positive trend that developed through the centuries.

50 years ago we had less freedom than the Chinese have today. Then the tyrant died of old age, and the absolute monarch that succeeded him decided democracy was the way to go.

Latin American countries have the same cultural roots as Spain. They were part of Spain for more centuries than they've been independent; and even after independence the cultural exchange has been continuous. Today, some are free, and some like Cuba or Venezuela are tyrannies.

That fatalism about some cultures not being ready for freedom is too simplistic when faced with the details of reality. The Chinese of Hong Kong and Taiwan handled freedom no problem; one from within, the other "pushed on them" by the British.
> However, there is an argument that they should get the economic benefit of being carbon free, something that is granted to solar and wind.

They already have the benefit of not having to pay for their long term waste disposal and being bailed out in the event of a critical failure, which is arguably among the biggest long-term costs for nuclear.

Not too long ago German energy companies paid a flat fee of 24 billion Euros to absolve them from any future responsibility to pay for end storage. The US nuclear industry does pay a tax for disposal but that doesn't cover anywhere near the actual costs of storage.

We are talking about materials that need to be stored thousands of years here, a couple of dozens billion Euros (or Dollars) are peanuts in that regard. The timescales are just insane with this stuff and make it very likely that we still gonna have to pay for keeping disposal intact many thousand years after we phased out of nuclear into something we can't even fathom right now.

Isn't that a nice vision of the future? We might manage to get our cheap, clean and renewable energy, but we will still be stuck taking care of very dangerous and expensive waste for thousands of years.
Some fun facts from the earnings report and call:

What they reported by the numbers:

- declared a cash dividend of $0.63 per share of the company’s common stock. The dividend is payable on Aug. 17, 2017

- Revenue: $45.4 billion, up 7% YOY

- Adjusted EPS: $1.67, up from $1.42 in Q316

- iPhone units: 41 million sold, up 2% YOY

- iPad units: 11.4 million, up 15% YOY

- Mac units: 4.3 million, up 1% YOY

- Services revenue: $7.3 billion, up 22% YOY

- Other Products revenue: $2.7 billion, up 23% YOY

- Q4 Forecast: Revenue between $49 and $52 billion

- Greater China is Apple's only major region to report a revenue decline -- down 10% from last year's Q3, at just over $8 billion. Greater China also saw a 25% quarter-over-quarter decrease, while the Americas only saw a 4% quarter-over-quarter decline.

Where growth is coming from:

- Apple says it generated $7.3 billion in revenue on services, which includes the App Store and Apple Music. That's 22% more than the $6 billion in the year-ago quarter.

- Apple announces revenue of $2.7 billion from other products, including Apple Watch, Apple Pay and Apple TV. It was $2.2 billion in the year-ago quarter. This represents 23% growth for the category. It's likely that the HomePod will become part of this category in the December quarter.

Squarespace.com | Full time, NYC | http://grnh.se/7tde6m1

We're pretty much hiring for all kinds of software engineers. Backend, frontend, machine learning, data science, what have you. Squarespace is a beautiful, extremely versatile web publishing platform serving over a million customers.

I've been here for 1.5 years on the frontend engineering team and am really happy to say I (still) love working here and can't see how you can have a better work environment.

Unlimited PTO, flexible schedule, good parental leave, 100% covered healthcare, beautiful office, (public) swimming pool across the street in the summer, complimentary catered lunch every day, etc. etc.

People are really smart, creative, and hardworking here and I'd be happy to answer any questions if you want to chat about it: ccha@squarespace.com

Sourcemaps have the drawback that you actually need to generate them first. Sometimes, getting all of the tooling together is teedious.

And about the size: if the JS file is cached properly, downloading 1.5mb once doesn't seem like a huge issue, especially for something like Slack where only desktops use the web client (most mobiles probably download the Slack app). I don't know if this was the case here though.
They aren't inherently bad.

These shares are often structured such that the enhanced voting rights expire when the original holder sells the stock though. So the classes aren't equally available to the market.
This is completely wrong - not how ETFs work at all. If you have a large block of SPY you can redeem it for the index constituents. If you have a large block of the index constituents, you can redeem it for SPY.

When the SPY price rises above the price of the constituents, arbitrageurs (firms like Jane Street) will go and buy the constituents and create some SPY shares (and sell them for a profit). Similar for if the SPY price falls below the corresponding weighted sum of the constituents.

As a non-early adopter of blockchain tech, I appreciated the clarity that Coinbase decided on here. "You don't have to worry about anything."

Which, if you aren't familiar with what the word "fork" means in the developer world, was exactly what I wanted to hear from a legitimate company like Coinbase.
Running btrfs in production is still a nightmare in 2017.

At least the random kernel crashes stopped.

With proper care and feeding, it won't run out of metadata either but you need to monitor it closely and run nightly balances. Which probably kill your SSD.

Documentation sucks. Get used to monitor the btrfs IRC channel closely and deduce what to do and what not to do on which kernel version.

It works well for very particular use cases (file server with few random writes and much duplicate data). Cannot recommend it otherwise. Even Docker runs more stable on XFS.
Then go to Kraken!

I don't know how do people get Etherum at first place. I aware of CoinBase but all google just says bad thing about them. Recently CoinBase eat $5,000 of some guy[0] on Hacker News.

No they're not. They're implemented in many altcoins. And to say that 'proposals' are not efficient because they haven't been implemented is both semantically wrong, and an incredibly stupid point even if it weren't.
For a while the amount of energy is certainly a question. If it takes 100 gigawatts to produce a solar panel, but that panel only returns 75 gigawatts over its usable lifespan (including maintenance), then that's not a good look.

Even if solar generated 1.25 watts per watt to contruct/transport/install/maintain, it still isn't enough.

Now if solar is at the point where it was generate 5 watts per 1 watt, we're in business.
These are words that they think could cause offense to their customers. Fat can be insulting and unflattering.
I think you moved the goal posts and are now talking about philosophy, not math. If you are saying all math is probabilistic even with conventional theorems, how can you predict a future of probabilistic math if it's already here?
It is a climate change issue in the sense that every green energy source we have is intermittent (except nuclear, whose non-viability has been discussed on HN today). If we want to run the whole world on sustainable energy sources, large scale energy storage must be an integral part of our grid.
There are not "sides" as much as there are countless copies of Bitcoin.

There were lots of discussions around applications of Bitcoin at the time. Payment channels were only one of the suggestions, but it was what Satoshi advocated. Why do you think opcodes for lock times were put in there?

See my answer below. There is no reason to lash out with misguided accusations when everyone can read the discussions in verbatim.

Plus Apple likes shipping lower end/cheaper devices to people who won't buy the high end.

When your low end configuration is hard to use because Facebook takes up 29% of the storage... that's a problem. Customers get mad.

When they can't update Facebook because it wants more space and the device is full and now the user is locked out from their friends... customers get mad.

When updating a handful of apps uses up 70% of their monthly data... users get mad.

And ALL of that effects apple's bottom line.

I don't see a problem with how this was handled by Coinbase. It's obvious they're a central authority. When people make the choice of Coinbase over managing their own wallet they're sacrificing freedom for a sense of security.
It's interesting that some consider the notion of freedom as extremism, with all the attached implications.

It's like Brexit but for Bitcoin.

For years the market wanted to increase the arbitrary 1mb blocksize limit. They finally got fed up with the stalling/lies and forked off.

It isn't intrinsically theft prone, the UI around using it is just not up to snuff yet. Credit cards, on the other hand, are intrinsically theft prone. They are a pull architecture. Every time you use your credit card, the store takes money from you. This is patently absurd, and the only reasonable definition of 'theft prone'. Bitcoin is a push architecture. You can never take my bitcoin, I can only send you bitcoin. Further, irreversibility is definitely what you want in the underlying protocol. It's fine if people want to implement escrowing and chargebacks via intermediaries on top of Bitcoin, and I would encourage that. But at a fundamental level, a payment system should be irreversible, immutable, uncensorable and push-based. Which is exactly what Bitcoin is.

As a programmer the past five years I've written code for games, desktop apps, and phone apps. I've worked with clients on data dashboards and APIs, bringing products to market as well as just making proof-of-concepts.

I'm currently happily freelancing, but I'd consider a full-time job.
Common stuff. I work for Bazaarvoice; we have "generic" lists of "bad" words, as well as client-specific ones. We use them to automatically reject product reviews, or to at least flag them for human intervention.

You all can probably understand why these lists err on the side of false positive, rather than false negative.

There's also the occasional fun false positive, such as a reply to a review from a client that would include a URL with one of the "bad" words as a URL token: e.g., "To learn how to clean your vacuum, download the manual at www.manufacturer.com/download?product=123&ass=abc" - where "ass" is some abbreviated variable name that ends up causing replies to get rejected.

(There's also some really, really fun words in some of those lists that I have no idea how they got there. My favorite one is actually from a different company that maintains a word list: N.I.P.P.L.E.S. Yes, all capital, with periods in between the words. Highly specific, and I'd love to know what was the original trigger for adding that to the list.)
Definitely wish Coinbase had just taken care of it for me. Instead, I withdrew everything to a personel wallet and will be depositing my BCC to Kraken. I'll probably just deposit my BTC to Kraken as well since I'm going through the trouble. I like that Kraken will give me access to a bunch of other coins to get exposure to. On the plus side, all this is motivating me to deepen my understanding of the cryptocoin tech/ecosystem.
