It really depends on what's in your purchase history, where you live what, job you have, that kind of thing. I certainly wouldn't want to coming out I enjoyed a drink every now and then in Saudi Arabia, and I might want to hide my propensity to smoke cannabis from my boss. Finally there's just the notion that I might not want to be relentlessly marketed to by increasingly sophisticated algorithms, because sometimes it works and people end up buying things they wouldn't otherwise. As these techniques get better I'm sure that will continue to be a problem which only grows, and the data harvested today isn't going anywhere.

The Theory of Rough Paths and Signatures (Part 2)
Syncing the blockchain is optional, unless you store your coins in a wallet generated by a full node. Even then, things such as UTXO commitments would make syncing the current state almost instantaneous, though it would either requiring pulling the commitment from multiple third parties or having the protocol updated to require a UTXO commitment every Nth block.

This also conveniently prevents people from dumping BCH to drive down the price. The number of confirmations required by most exchanges in order to guard against double spending Sybil attacks will take days. The price will continue to rise as it makes its way into the news. By the time people can dump their BCH it is likely there will be substantial momentum behind it. The launch has been brilliantly orchestrated.
That is not the issue at all.

The issue is that Coinbase is _withholding_ the BCC from its customers. Technically, Coinbase has been awarded the BCC for all of the wallets they are in control of, but are refusing to distribute it.

It really is akin to a brokerage refusing to award shares to customers due to a company split/stock split.

It took me maybe 15-20 seconds to "claim" my BCH from BTC. I don't think its a technical issue here, so not sure why Coinbase would create such a negative situation. Simply provide an input to paste a withdraw wallet address for BCH and everyone can move on.

Even if BCH had only been worth $0.10 people would still want to claim their free money.

What Every Successful Disruptive Company Has in Common
Well, you could if there was any practical way to sell the bitcoin cash version at the moment. I personally think it likely that once you can, you'll be lucky to get $7 for one.
As if people in the third world have money for transaction fees, opening and closing lightning channels, and of course locking up funds to use the channel.

The idea that bitcoin can exist only as a settlement layer is a dream. It was pitched as something you can buy a cup of coffee with. Now the core team wants to call that a "spam transaction". Yeah right. Time to fire Core.
>which is not at all what it's like. Coinbase isn't the only source to buy/sell BCC. I think it's ridiculous that a company could be sued because they don't offer a new service.

As it happens, it's slightly more complicated than what you make it out to be. It's not a question of them simply not offering to support the new service. You see, when you hold your bitcoins inside Coinbase they have a private address of your wallet which they don't disclose to you. You can of course withdraw the bitcoins at any time (we'll get back to this later) and transfer them into a wallet of your choice. Now when the fork happens you, as the owner of the private key to your wallet now own the same amount of bitcoins on both blockchains. Both, as it appears have market value. However, because coinbase is the sole entity possessing private keys in this case and because they have announced that they won't support BCC they are effectively pocketing the entire market value of the BCC bitcoins that their customers have entrusted them with, which is likely to be in millions of dollars. When they announced that they wouldn't support BCC a lot of people rushed to withdraw their money from Coinbase into other wallets. However, a lot of people were unable to do so due to a variety of reasons and Coinbase is notorious for having atrocious customer service in matters like this. Hence the outrage.

I'm not a downvoter, but I see your analysis as extremely uncharitable to drivers. If bringing down the weight of the justice system on individual drivers is a logical consequence of structuring rideshare as individual businesses, that argues for reclassifying them as employees.

Compile-time Safety is for Everybody
Haha why is there "fiduciary" duty when Coinbase is not a bank, not a security agency, and not any type of share that people bought into (ie customers are not shareholder).

Coinbase can do anything they want!

Also, I suggest it's people's own fault for storing their bitcoins at a place that does not give access to their own private keys. This fork has been a long time coming. Everyone and their mother was warned to keep your own bitcoins in your own privately controlled wallet (entirely offline if possible) to weather this fork.

Anyone who cries that Coinbase didn't do whatever is being childish and deserves it.
As others have said, it really depends on the value of the fork. If you make a fork worth nothing, nobody's going to care.

But as right now Bitcoin Cash is worth $634 and regular Bitcoin $2727 per coin according to coinmarketcap.com. That's 23% the customers are loosing out on instantly.

And the defense that the users should be responsible to withdraw your coins if you want to keep it on both forks is disingenuous. There are withdrawal limits and requests for raising the limit goes unanswered for months due to high demand. Those users have literally no course of action. Also Coinbase issued their stance on Bitcoin Cash 10 days before the fork, this doesn't leave much leeway for customers on vacation for example.
Honest question, why so much negativity towards someone who wants to donate 20k to a good cause?
It is my opinion that the author's primary concern is that Windows Defender (or any antimalware suite [1][2]) has a huge attack surface, due to the high privileges assigned, and the huge amounts of file formats supported (which require custom or 3rd party parsing libraries.) Sandboxing substantially reduces that attack surface, by placing the parsing engines, and the untrusted executable in protected environments.

I agree with your sentiment that sandboxing will require more complex interactions between sandboxes for antimalware suites to act on pre-existing threats (and minimizing the required privileges for the 'SYSTEM'-level process that must act on those threats.)

I think some of the surge times are built in. At WDW it's on the dot when the parks close. There will be tons of drivers on the map too. Uber (and Lyft) know that a all the people they shuttled in for cheap in the morning will need a ride home and didn't plan an alternative.

With the relatively low wages in Vancouver, it seems strange that more companies aren't setting up offices here to take advantage of that.

This is all the more strange if the infographic at the end of this article is correct:

ie. it appears that Vancouver and Toronto have very high quality tech talent but extremely low labour cost. I'm sure much of this is due to the exchange rate. But no matter the reason, it sounds like companies could find a competitive edge by setting up in Canada.
This is a common misconception. I've never written a line of Java in my life, but have been a professional Clojure dev for several years. I never need to interact directly with Java, because most of the libraries you want to use do that for you anyway, and the language itself is self-supporting and comprehensive to not require interop for nearly everything.

My understanding of convolutions is that it's a way of extracting patterns from images. To convert audio into an image and then create convolutions from that seems... convoluted, if you will.

You don't need to run a full node to send/receive Bitcoin/BCC though.
Even the exchanges that trading is occuring on aren't necessarily allowing users to withdraw their BCC/BCH yet. Kraken say deposits and withdrawals may not be available for several days: https://twitter.com/krakenfx/status/892689436109971456 Not sure about ViaBTC and Bittrex.
What if the exchange didn't actually hold the BTC but only had a line in the database with an "IOU xBTC"? Maybe at this point the exchange had used its stored BTC to speculate on an other market and attempt to increase its profets. Maybe they bought Ether or gold or Microsoft stock.

Normally it doesn't matter as long as the exchange is capable of sending you back the coins when you claim them but in case of a fork they'd have to buy two coins instead.

Launch HN: 70MillionJobs (YC S17) – Job board for people with criminal records
Edit: Thank you everyone for the incredible wealth of insightful suggestions. To anyone who wants to continue the conversation, I'd appreciate your pinging me at richard@70millionjobs.com with your continuing ideas, so we can stay in touch. Many challenges lie ahead for us, but your help will keep us on the right track.

Again, on behalf of all the folks with records trying to get on with their lives, and myself personally, thanks again for your incredible support. Richard

-------------------------------------

Hi HN,

My name is Richard Bronson and I'm the founder/CEO of 70MillionJobs (https://www.70millionjobs.com). Our website is the Internet's first job board for 70 million Americans—1 in 3 adults—with criminal records.

I'm something of a domain expert in this area because I myself have a criminal record. In the early 1990s, I worked on Wall Street and some of what I did was illegal. For a time I was a partner at the infamous Wolf of Wall Street firm, Stratton Oakmont (Scorcese film). I ended up with a 2 year Federal prison sentence. I was guilty.

I experienced first hand how difficult it was to get on with life after going through the "system." I served as Director at Defy Ventures, a great non-profit in the reentry space, but was interested in a scalable solution to ex-offender unemployment and resultant recidivism. I felt a new, for-profit, tech-based approach was necessary, so I launched 70MillionJobs. We're seeking "double bottom-line" returns: make money and do social good.

Like most job boards, our business model is based upon employers paying to advertise their jobs. We expect additional revenue to come from municipalities, who spend tens of billions of dollars annually, when someone is rearrested.

You might not be surprised to learn that most formerly incarcerated men and women are petrified to discuss their background with prospective employers. So we created a "safe haven" where all parties knew the score, and applicants could relax knowing that jobs being offered were with companies that accepted their pasts.

Since many of our applicants don't have a laptop or easy access to the Internet, we send out text alerts they can easily respond to. Because most of these folks have limited work experience and limited formal education, we plan on building a video resume platform to accompany their resumes. In person, many of these folks are respectful, bright and personable, so this will show them at their best.
Hope your code cleanup is more “decent” than your spelling.

What was your goal in downloading the entire chain versus using a light client? Or why didn't you just download the last few blocks plus UTXOs? Either way you need a trust anchor, so starting from something recent makes sense if you don't want to wait days to verify the entire chain.

And if you need to view specific blocks or transactions, use an online viewer or download that specific block and check the hash of the block. 10 years of 10 minute blocks is only 16MB of hashes (32 bytes per block). So it's trivial to get all block hashes and then freely use other sources to check specific parts.

Storage is cheap. 2TB drives are a bit over $50.

If CDDL has no issue with GPL conditions, then follow the GPL and everything is fine.

CDDL has this text: "Any Covered Software that You distribute or otherwise make available in Executable form must also be made available in Source Code form and that Source Code form must be distributed only under the terms of this License"

So you take some CDDL code, and some GPL code, and you put that whole new source code tree under GPL in order to fullfill the GPL license condition. Are you then in compliance with the CDDL code? My concussion is that you are not, as that would be in conflict with the above condition of the CDDL. The source code tree would not be "distributed only under the terms of this license".

I had to move my coins out of Coinbase last week and it was very scary. I had never moved coins before and I even though the process seems simple, I had very little confidence in what I was doing. Honestly, I almost just left the coins in Coinbase figuring losing 10% of value from BCH is still probably positive equity compared to my perceived risk of losing it all which felt between 25% and 50%.
There was a hint that customers should withdraw their BTC from Coinbase before the split and (if they want to) move it back afterwards; the people that are suing knew this, and knew that Coinbase wasn't going to support it (at first), and yet kept their BTC hosted in Coinbase's wallets.
It's one of the most compact mind/machine interfaces I've encountered.

In practice that's often not how that works, though.

I had a company I have shares in that split in two and they gave me a choice, either convert my shares to the new company or keep them in the existing company. I didn't automatically get shares in the new company and if I opted too I would have lost the shares in the original company.

This underlines an important distinction about Vancouver real estate: it's very expensive to purchase a home in Vancouver, but rents have not exploded at the same pace. That makes it a very different value proposition from what exists in the SFBA (especially for younger folks who don't necessarily want to buy).
No, it lists the price at the bottom as $9/month.

transactions are public but if no one knows that a public key is yours it's difficult to trace. and like you said, there's tools to anonymize your bitcoin transactions completely
You are correct of course. My intention was to point out that this is a great step so that the S&P 500 remains that way. That you don't let in companies offering such shares in the same index (and thus market) as ones that don't.

Of course the ones that are already listed can continue to do so. But still a good step in the right direction IMO.

If they're building the game for Windows (so not purely console) it's a lot easier to be able to run the game on the development machine if that machine is running Windows. If the dev machine runs Linux or OSX then either a reboot is needed (no debugging allowed) or a compatibility layer/emulator is needed (performance issues). Neither option works well. They could have a second test machine running Windows, but that's much more complicated, takes up more desk space, etc. It's generally much easier to write software on the target than it is to write on another OS/architecture/etc and cross-build.
