As I mentioned in another comment, no lines would need to be drawn if they didn't advertise themselves as holding your wallet/coins/private keys. If their website and marketing copy were direct about the truth, which is that you are a holder of an IOU for a particular chain, then there would be no problems.

it's a common refrain that you don't actually own your coins if you are not the sole holder of the private keys, and this is one example as to why.
You could try wearing a heart rate monitor chest strap under your shirt and carry a Garmin fitness tracker in your pocket.
Wow, this almost exactly like where I worked, except peer reviews were also there. People would put in little stuff like "he once made xyz mistake in coding" (on local machine mind you, not on staging and not at all on production). That would lead to the manager complaining about it 4 months after it happened and telling you your coding was not upto par.

Result : does not meet expectations

Promotions happened entirely on the visibility of your project. One team reported directly to the VP, so EVERYONE in the team got a raise/promotion. Among the rest, around 5 people were promoted. That team, for reference sake, had 7 people if I remember correctly.
I would imagine the difficult aspect of this two-sided market would be employers.

Not to be obtuse, but what incentive would an employer have to hire someone with criminal records?
"Ads on news sites gobble up as much as 79% of users' mobile data. Why are you wasting valuable data to see ads?"

My understanding is that this is a device on your network... your home network. Can you explain how this device/service would help your mobile data?
seems like a lot of what you'll need to do is on the employer education. please excuse my ignorance, I hope their not offensive, I'm just trying to help.

1. is there any extra liability for the employer if they knowingly hire someone formerly incarcerated and they commit a crime while working for them.

2. aren't some kind of tax credits for hiring formerly incarcerated incarcerated people.

3. is it only w2 or do you allow 1099 opportunities.
We're talking about people, not CPUs or flash memory. People change slowly.
In theory, it could be that currently the demand is way higher than the supply, if everyone were able to sell their BCC then the price could crash (assuming everyone would want to sell them as soon as they are able)

RosettaCode: “Python isn't very good at number crunching anyway”
The notion of "good" or "bad" all depends on what you value. If you value the economy above all then this is good for companies outside the US, bad for companies inside the US. If you value jobs for your own citizens over money then opposite is true: better job opportunities for locals, bad news for corporations (at least in the short term).
Just want to add support. One of my childhood friends has a felony from when he was an overly-rambunctious teenager that he still gets punished for - including being kicked off AirBnB - for something he stole more than 20 years ago. Despite this, he's a very successful leader in mental health services management.

So many people deserve a chance to redeem themselves from being 'branded', yet are denied the exact opportunities that would allow them to do so. This problem goes back a long, long ways.[1]

Anything you can do to help is great. Best of luck!

What a sick comment.
Oh, I didn't expect this :) Sounds good, but I'm not sure I have patience do this right, it's such a pain to record gifs - I always misspell or misclick something, and by take #47 go completely nuts
Look at it from the other direction. Little moves by them, like what's described in the article, can kill off all sorts of small businesses. How else would that be possible without extreme amounts of market power?
Yes, Coinbase limits BTC withdrawals based on current USD value. A lot of traders lost money because they couldn't get their funds out in time. Coinbase will likely get sued and it'll cost them.
And how would "iOS style sandboxing" prevent a browser extension from specifically injecting ads onto a webpage? If an extension cannot access and modify webpages, there's no point in having them in the first place.

At least adding ads is visible to the user. I once noticed a screen capture extension I had was sending every URL I viewed to about 7 different tracking services behind the scenes...
Why Sales and Marketing Teams Should Think Like Data Scientists
Awesome enhancement. I'll keep that in mind. Thanks for the clarification.
I don't know how long ago this was, but if it was within the last 30 days (I think) you can probably file an A-to-Z Guarantee claim and get an immediate Amazon gift card credit added to your account.

I did this recently with an item I ordered. I paid extra for the non-prime eligible 2nd day shipping. It didn't arrive until after 6 days. I filed a claim, and without having to wait for the claim process, Amazon immediately gave me the option to close the claim and receive a gift card for the amount I paid without returning the item.

I'd say that most of their listings are dominated by independent sellers; you can't even tell if Amazon is offering an object without digging into the "see more sellers".

For example, find a coffee grinder sold by Amazon (note, not Amazon Warehouse Deals)

Did it learn how to lie though? Did it learn the art of deception and all of the complex concepts behind that? Did it have intent and motive to deceive, Or was it simply a glitch in the underlying logic? The chat bots weren't sentient and could not think for them selves. This is really a story that never should have been, but due to the awful state the media is in it works as a great PR peace for Facebook.
Its DNS. How do you propose they have access to the data?
Be that as it may, I had a similar experience with an independent seller at Amazon UK. I bought a pan that arrived with a small defect and they told me I would have to pay the postage back (25 Euros on a £30 or £40 pan - I was buying from abroad). I also ended up keeping the pan and now avoid independent sellers as much as possible.

Being able to easily handle a potentially large amount of money is exactly the reason why Bitcoin was created in the first place, so you don't need to depend on entities like banks.

But even then, if you don't want to do that, there are other exchanges and online wallets that can do all that for you.

I just asked on #freenode. There is no such VPN ban.
They have an incentive to hire someone, and often can't find qualified candidates through traditional channels.

In purely economic terms, I'm willing to bet some people with criminal records are willing to work for less than someone with the same qualifications and a clean record.
The browser and renderer is a perfect analogy. Only the scanning code that contains the format parsers, emulators, etc, needs to be sandboxed.

This is really cool, and I hope that your platform takes off! The SMS integration for texting is also a nice touch. :)

One thing I wonder about is if folks in our industry would be more willing to have an felon of some variety working with them than somebody who's been tarred with the racist/sexist/conservative label?
I'll add to this that Coinbase freezing everyone's Bitcoin Cash is a great example of the problems with giving up decentralization.
> However, sometimes it happens that you read first about a topic on wikipedia, and worked something out on the information you found there, before you had time to consult wikipedia's sources. In this case you definitely should cite wikipedia.

I was advised to always cite the primary source, even if I learnt of something in a secondary source, eg. lit review or Wikipedia. The reason being that if the reader wants to follow up on it, it's the quickest path. I'd say it's also just good practice to credit the original authors for their work.

Citing Wikipedia also puts the reader in the uncomfortable position of either taking your word for something, or having to go through Wikipedia's sources themselves to verify something.
The article states that the court order used in this case is something called an Anton Piller order [0].

Its intended use seems to be for cases where the defendant is known to possess incriminating material they are in imminent danger of destroying, and have caused serious damage to the plaintiff. It also seems that an independent lawyer is required in these cases to explain the order to the defendant and handle the collected material.

The judge apparently ruled the use of the order unlawful after the fact, so I'd hope that the poor guy is entitled to some sort of compensation.

That's a fair question and I don't know the answer to it. I study and work in public policy. Ergo I imagine that the study and analysis of business would come from b-schools. However, to try and answer your question, I've seen it mentioned here and in the news that the primary value of going to a business school is not the education, but the contacts you make.
> I think folks just see the word "doxxing" and their pattern matching misfires.

Or maybe you're trying to weasel out of what you said and are now going for broke.

Linking once again to define words, we go to Wikipedia[0]:

> Doxing may be carried out for various reasons, including to aid law enforcement, business analysis, extortion, coercion, harassment, online shaming, AND VIGILANTE JUSTICE.

This sounds a good control systems approach that provides drivers with an indirect way to influence pricing. If Uber decides to 'out' cheaters somehow, then I'd worry about coercion by other drivers.
Hmm, so moneyball/arbitrage based on criminal history?

That's interesting; would be curious to hear if there's another side of the story as well.
More often, if a product is obviously defective, or the wrong item was shipped, they may say just keep it (or throw it away) and send a replacement or refund.

I've had this happen with multiple companies. (Wrong t-shirt, warranty replacements on some items, credit card extended warranties, a couple of ebay sellers where the item was defective, etc.)

Definitely something I wouldn't abuse, and I hope others don't abuse, because it increases the efficiency of the system - both by reducing impediments to buying things and by reducing overall cost when things go wrong.
I once explained a kid how to create a web page in plain HTML and some simple JavaScript, and that seemed to have completely removed the shroud of mystery from what programming is all about.

Of course there is much more to programming than writing HTML, but setting the entry bar low enough can help tremendously getting one interested in learning it.

> I mean, funding projects is nice, but doing so while requiring the projects you fund to do what you request (see Freenode/Snoonet and other VPNs)

Do you have proof of PIA "required the projects [they] fund to what [they] request?" Do you have proof that the takeover of Freenode is related to that?

I'll agree that the takeover of Freenode is troubling, but you are making unsubstantiated claims, stating them as fact, and mixing in things that are actually facts (as if they somehow make your claims more true).
Pretty sure every trade off made at Apple is weighted heavily toward extending battery life.
By owner you mean Andrew Lee? Wikipedia also mentions some "Ted Kim", but the citation does not support that claim.
I went through an IT technical degree at a community college. Three of my classmates were timing their graduation to the year their felony fell off background checks.

These guys spent 5 years grinding it out at whatever shit job would hire them just to spend 2 more in school + working with the hope of getting a simple rack & stack job, all because of some mistake they made in their late teens/early twenties. It was the exact same story 3 times, and all involving drug offenses.

It really gave me a different perspective on the situation. I don't think these 3 people should've been sidelined for 7 years. They could've been productive members of society well before that. Keeping them out of the skilled/professional workforce is painful.

This could be a huge untapped pool of candidates, as long as companies are willing to take the risk. I hope it takes off.

Why would having a criminal record automatically preclude you from hiring these folks?

Hell, Hans Reiser wrote a great filesystem and he murdered his wife. John Draper and Kevin Mitnick would probably both be good hires for certain roles. Steve Jobs could've been easily arrested for drug use.

When it comes to employment, the law only matters if you can afford to forgo income from that particular employer, and if you can afford the lawyers. For many people, if they don't have another stream of income or support from family or friends, it's effectively useless to them.
Might very well be; I have the luxury of not looking a nightlies at all :) it's just been frustrating how often problem reports get a response that the solutions are in the nightlies. 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.

Contrast this with other languages (C++, Python, Ruby, Go) where I have no idea what features are under development until they hit a stable release. Compare to JavaScript, where stable releases are so slow people built transpilers ;)

This could also be because I'm interested enough in Rust to occasionally land on the first-party discussion forums, of course (probably helped by how open the language development is). I'd say it's also young, except that it now has a release number much larger than 1.0 and doesn't really get to claim that anymore.
Why buy a domain name for a number that will fluctuate over time?
"A product defect is any characteristic of a product which hinders its usability for the purpose for which it was designed and manufactured."

This does not imply "unsafe".
I compared to rowhammer and bitsquatting.

From the paper that you cited:

Our first observation is that memory errors are not rare
events. About a third of all machines in the fleet experience
at least one memory error per year (see column CE Incid.
%) and the average number of correctable errors per year
is over 22,000. These numbers vary across platforms, with
some platforms (e.g. Platform A and B) seeing nearly 50% of
their machines affected by correctable errors, while in others
only 12–27% are affected. The median number of errors per year for those
machines that experience at least one error ranges from 25 to 611.
I had a similar experience, contacted Amazon support and they just refunded me.
Wouldn't having the customer ship it back before you give them a refund decrease the chance that they'll keep it and use it against you?
Thank you for sharing that. It's a common story. Attitudes are changing quickly, so I hold out hope. I very much appreciate your support.
> So we created a "save haven" where all parties knew the score

Does that mean that employers know what offenses were committed, and how long ago? Or does it just mean that they know that the candidate has been convicted of something, but figuring out whether that's a liability to the business or not needs to be discussed?
> On June 9, the telecoms got an Anton Piller order, a civil search warrant that gives a plaintiff access to a defendant's home, without notice, to search for and seize relevant evidence before it can be destroyed.

A Federal Court judge would later declare the Anton Piller order in this case "unlawful," but that was weeks after a group of men arrived at Lackman's door...

Mind boggling that Canadian law constructed a civil no-notice (i.e. unappealable) instrument with third-party enforcement. That literally cedes the state's monopoly on violence [1].

Curious if such a law would pass Constitutional muster in the United States.

Yeah, but how many surprise egg videos does the average parent want to watch?

The videos that most children like are of a very poor quality at which most adults would cringe.

I've tried to redirect my children toward more high-quality children's programming. You know, stuff with scripts and budgets. Nonetheless, they want these toy porn videos produced by these toddler whisperers.

As the article begins, children crave autonomy. YouTube Kids gives it to them. It's an amazing application. I have a Google Music subscription, so my kids get to watch these videos ad-free. It's a pretty good experience for everyone.

Prime numbers and similar techniques can help, it just depends if you actually just want to kludge something together, or do it properly.
I will surely look into this. Thanks for sharing.

6 years old?

This confuses me.

Formal operations typically develop at around age 11 (cf. Piaget); this mental capability is necessary to (among many other things) comprehend abstraction, isomorphism, algebra, recursion, and most of the other mathematics-originated components of computer science. How can children without these capabilities, possibly comprehend programming, to any extent beyond the trivially concrete?
"As an employer, I want to hire the best people so my company can be successful. Why would I hire anyone from your site when there are plenty of other candidates elsewhere?"

Not associated with that company but one reason to hire a convict is that you get a pretty decent tax break[0] out of it

Is your goal to avoid all collisions?

If so your current scheme won't prevent that. For example, Job 1 and Job 2 will both run at 0035, 0405, 2025, etc. (assuming that both jobs start at 0000).
From my personal experience, I got remote job offers (with competitive western salary) in two ways:

- via my network (so people/clients I have worked with before on site have approached me with extra work and new projects)

- from my open source contributions (some of my projects on github and my contributions led to me being emailed by interesting companies)

So I would forget about "looking" for remote work online. I don't think you'll randomly find anything which pays well.

What I suggest is to:

1) (if you are a consultant) build a network of clients and acquaintances by working on projects onsite. It's likely there will be more work you will get reached out to about. And then you are in position to arrange remote work as they have already worked with you and there is a trust between the two parties.

2) Contribute to open source and work on interesting projects/libraries in your free time. You never know which company will end up using your work and reach out to you with job offers. Often they will be ok with remote work too.
I am extremely stubborn, such that whenever someone threatens bad thing X unless I do Y, I dig in my heels and become the unmovable stone. Bad thing X rarely happens. Bad things still happen, just not the exact thing they were threatening.

You have to figure that anyone who would threaten you in order to coerce you into doing something you don't want to do, will also lie about the consequences of you not doing it.
