Pretty much. BCH bulls who find out about the supply issue have been assuming that it can't be that much of a big problem, that most people who wanted to sell must've done so by now anyway, and of course there's no way to tell how much supply is actually locked up. BCH bears are mostly irrelevant to the price since, unless they expected it to be worth enough to justify locking their BTC in less reputable exchanges during the fork, they can't actually sell yet. Anyone who isn't following the online discussions closely probably simply doesn't know about this - the news articles I've seen haven't mentioned that issue, and it took many hours for this information to even percolate through the discussions. Claims like "3rd largest cryptocurrency by market cap" have been a lot more prominent everywhere. (Also, if you want an idea of what BCH supporters are thinking right now, the front page r/btc is currently a good place to look.)
> Consider nursing

But even in nursing we see men being promoted faster than women.

When we ask why there are so few women tech leaders, or women in tech, we're told it's a pipeline problem: not enough women in STEM education.

But that's not the case for nursing. So why do men get promoted over women?

Here are some numbers from England. I've picked midwifery and ambulance staff, because there's some contrast there.

> Basically, offering poor/expensive service in capitalist system will naturally invite competition until the optimal price/value point has been reached.

If all the farmers form a cartel, where does this mythical competitor come from? Farmland is a limited resource. And food doesn't just magically appear the day you start a new farm.
>If an employer names a range, all applicants would be demoralized if they don't reach its upper end. Probably expecting to reach that pay-grade sooner or later, somewhere else if need be.

I don't know how much I believe this. It sounds like common-sense, but when I think about it and my own experiences this has not been the case. When last interviewing for a job, I took the lowest pay of the three offers I had. Company is small and cash-strapped and I happily signed on knowing I'm "worth more."

Further, they were looking for a more experienced dev than I, but they were lucky to afford me. Had they said, we have 10k more we were prepared to offer someone more experienced but you are not at that level. I can't see my disposition changing towards the company one iota.

Transparency makes me trust a company more, not less. I don't think I would feel more demoralized by a company for being honest with me. Additionally, how many people have walked away from salary negotiations wondering if they should have pushed for more?

On average I can't see changing the way this works being anymore demoralizing for the employee. In fact I think (on average) it would be less demoralizing and instill greater loyalty and good-will in employees.

> It's not THAT hard to run a full node, even with 32MB blocks.

Not at present, but if you increase the block size then you ramp that up pretty fast. Let's say there's a block every 9 minutes (nominally 10 but the network is reactive to increased hash power so it's a bit less in reality). That's 58400 blocks per year, which with a 32 MB block size would translate to 1,868,800 MB per year.

A growth rate of 2 TB per year would very quickly take you past the point where "anyone can have a copy". Yes, it would still be feasible for power-users who could dedicate a whole HDD or some NAS space to it, but that's implicitly conceding the whole "anybody can have a copy" point, and the growth would still be continuing unabated.

And the problem is - Bitcoin's transaction rate is currently so slow that 32 MB is not really a big enough block size. Going from 7 tx/sec to 224 tx/sec is still pitiful for a global network, again Visa does 50k tx/sec at peak.

I agree that it seems highly plausible that some form of "checkpointing" mechanism could be securely implemented.

In fact if you "trust the network" then there's no reason to download the blockchain at all, you can run the Electrum client. And if you think all the nodes are lying to you... how do you ever get the blockchain securely in the first place, regardless of a checkpoint mechanism?

Are you insinuating that a simple board game can be slicker-looking than me with a robot mask? Offense!!!!
There have been physical turtle robots that are programmed using Logo.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turtle_(robot)

Part of Seymour Papert's pedagogical idea of programming the turtle seems to me to be that the the students can put themselves mentally in the position of the turtle and ask "how would I know what to do next?", ideally with the insight that we're looking for a rule that can be expressed in language and that answers the question in every situation. That sounds very akin to your lesson!

I guess the Sphero ball might be a kind of update of this.
Yeah, I appreciate that nightlies are an option. It's just frustrating how often that option is trotted out without the caveat that it isn't a real solution. (This is again basically reacting to a particular Reddit comment linked above, but those sorts of comments are things that are more memorable.)

Actually interacting with rust-related people, whatever their capacity (developer, user, etc.) tend to go pretty well; it's just that once in a while a random comment shows up that seems dismissive of actual problems people are reporting.

You're probably right though, it's just that people have different contexts and I'm reading more into things than intended. Again, rust development is extremely open (which is great) and these things just tend to not be visible for other languages, rather than not happening.
There's now Lumo - a Clojurescript binary with its own embedded Node.js runtime. Script away!
Ever since Stellar threw away their legacy (Ripple) code base, I've actually paid attention to what they're up to. I believe they have the best tech for this ICO movement. FTA: "Stellar is an excellent choice for any ICO that does not require Turing-complete smart contracts and can benefit from immediate creation of a secondary market." -> IMO this is 95% of the Ethereum ICO use cases.

Unfortunately, the developer mind share isn't there, and the price of their coin makes it prohibitively hard to raise money. If you want to raise $100M ICO on Ethereum you need .3% of the market cap. With Stellar, you'd need 30%.

Net loss of last quarter: $400M

Net loss since beginning of the year (6 months): $800M

(Because the article gives absolute figures for the revenue, but for the losses it only gives the loss per action, which doesn't talk to me.)
Then give the artist tools to fit a normalized audio experience, or build a business that doesn't need listeners.
That's a bit deceptive - giving revenue in dollars, and losses in dollars per share.

The Unorganized Militia as defined in 10 U.S. Code Section 311 is effectively all able-bodied fighting-age male citizens:

The militia of the United States consists of all able-bodied males at least 17 years of age and, except as provided in section 313 of title 32, under 45 years of age who are, or who have made a declaration of intention to become, citizens of the United States and of female citizens of the United States who are members of the National Guard.

The classes of the militia are--

the organized militia, which consists of the National Guard and the Naval Militia;  and

the unorganized militia, which consists of the members of the militia who are not members of the National Guard or the Naval Militia.

Please bear in mind that I am not a lawyer, and this is not legal advice.

Tech is far less sexist and racist than you think it is. This article isn't about tech specifically, but I think it does demonstrate that if anyone, there is positive-sexism [ed: for women] happening when it comes to recruitment in western workplaces. http://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-06-30/bilnd-recruitment-tria...

Right now the demographic make up of companies don't match the population, that's true, but these companies do tend to match the demographics of trained programmers. The difference in demographics is from people choosing not to enter tech. If you want to fix the problem, work on training pipelines into tech.

The best way to summarize our different viewpoints is probably "Wanting Equality of Opportunity vs. wanting Equality of Outcome". And-- you assume that if the outcome of tech-demographics is different than the population, then it must be due to racism/sexism. There are other cultural and socio-economic factors that influence the demographics of tech.
It's not that testosterone and estrogen don't exist. It's the conceptual leap that testosterone and estrogen explain why women go into one work field versus another. Especially when those proportions vary dramatically across countries. (Do Iranian women, where the majority of STEM majors are women, have different estrogen than American women?).

Yes, but it's hard to trade them right now unless you had Bitcoins in an exchange that auto-balanced at the time of the fork.

There are some new wallets that support BitcoinCash, but being new, they are not trusted yet. Here's the official procedure to safely use the Electrum Cash (fork) wallet according to the non-fork creators: https://electrum.org/bcc2.txt

Even after you do that, most exchanges are not yet supporting importing BitcoinCash into their accounts. Once everyone is able to do so, the price is expected to tank. I guess we'll see...
To note, "well-regulated" had a different meaning when the Bill of Rights was authored than what a contemporary reader may interpret the term to mean. Some context is available here[1].

I think about it in a different way. The fact that a certain amount of BTC is also the same amount of BCC is tied to a specific way of owning bitcoins (i.e. "physical" bitcoins in a wallet).

But when you buy a certain amount of BTC on coinbase, you will just buy that abstract amount, there is no wallet tied to you, in the same way that when you have money in a bank you don't own any specific bill. The bank may not even have that amount, at least not in the form of physical cash.

To continue the analogy, let's say that the Central Bank says "in order to fight fake bills, whoever brings old 20 USD bills will get back a new 20 USD bill PLUS a 20 EUR bill." If you have 1000 USD in a bank, are you automatically entitled to 1000 EUR, or are you supposed to get first the bills from the bank ? And if you do, should the bank give you old bills or can it give you the new bills ?

Indeed. Or they would have stuck to using Windows, or some commercial Unix.

Sadly i feel that more and more upstream wants it both ways, be able to push their latest and shiniest, and keep ignoring any need for interface stability etc.

Frankly i suspect the end result of the likes of Flatpak will be that upstream push whole distros worth of bundled libs, just so they don't have to consider interface stability as they pound out their shinies in their best "move fast and break things" manner.

If those customers have made poor engineering decisions in their own products, well, that's their problem isn't it?

Great point. I'd add:

> they werent because they were racists

It's more complex than that, and it's important to understand the mechanisms: My poor understanding is that racism was (and is to a great degree) a social norm, and as social science and life experience will tell you, humans are hardwired to follow social norms. Think of the common phenomenon of large numbers believing the same erroneous fact (as an easy example, in matters of science) - did they all coincidentally reach the same conclusion, or just follow the norm of their social networks. We unconsciously accept and assume norms, we hardly notice them (they are the everyday 'normal', after all), and to challenge them is to make yourself an outcast, which is dangerous and against human nature. Who even wants to be the only one going against the group in a meeting, much less challenging centuries of culture and your entire community?

I'm not excusing the actions of those team owners at all. But I would guess that there were a few advocates of racial discrimination and many who went along with the established norm. To veer OT: IMHO, standing up to those norms is a responsibility of all of us - if you silently acquiesce, you support them as norms in everyone else's eyes. By speaking you may not change the world by yourself, but consider how it looks from someone else who is questioning the 'norm' in their mind but afraid to speak up, just like you: Seeing one other person speaking out may look insufficient, but it's leaves a far stronger impression than if nobody says a thing, and that one person is more likely to yield two or three speaking out next time.

First, there's no built-in way (at least on OS X) to just "turn down the volume for Firefox or Chrome". From a quick search this looks to be a Windows feature.

Second, I don't want to affect the volume for Chrome or Firefox overall (e.g. I might be playing an online game with sounds). I just want the SoundCloud stream to be louder or less loud.

Third, if I run my audio through an audio interface, like lots of musicians (which SoundCloud supposedly caters to) do, there's not even a system volume setting I can apply. I need to use the interface's custom "mix control" application to change the volume, or turn the physical knobs on the interface or mixer or monitors. Again, affecting other sound sources too.
