Tomte, "Garuda" is not a random title. As you and others have guessed it, Garuda is a mythical bird in Indian mythology just like Phoenix being a mythical bird in Greek mythology. Since the book is about "Demystify Phoenix Internals & Rebuild Phoenix Clone", I have named it as Garuda.

I agree with you, I could have explained the book's content and its title a bit more clearer on my website. I will do it sometime soon.

What's with PIA buying out IRC networks and 'donating'/funding so many OSS projects? It's weird. On freenode other VPN services have been banned. What's their goal with krita? PIA doesn't have FOSS. Why are they sponsoring so many FOSS projects?
Yes there is? One way is an active investment in the "new thing" and blatantly dishonest (would rightly get you sued,) and the other is exactly like voting "no-confidence."

Here, I'll take your side: there is no difference between your spending time to support a thing, and your not expending any labor on the thing. How do you like that?

I also ran into this. What helped me was being able to point to side projects that I had successfully completed. From what I can tell, what employers really want to know is that you can work on your own, from your own house. Side projects help with that. It also helps if you can work from home 1-2 days a week at your current job. Then you can point to that as proof that you work from home 20% of the time.
That shouldn't be the case. BTC purchased after the fork has no relationship to BCC. Bitcoin transactions included before block 478559 are both valid BTC and BCC transactions. Anything after that is only valid as one or the other depending on which chain it is included in.
It takes more than one ride dispatch to quell the surge. I've watched bar/club closings stay in surge for 30 minutes while cars stream in to pick up riders. I personally have given 5 surge rides in a row, albeit short rides, just by picking up at a particular hot spot, getting a local, drop them off, go offline, return to hot spot, wash, rinse, repeat.

After the fork, BTC and BCH are distinct and independent. So buying BTC after the fork would gives the buyer zero BCH.
8 MB blocks = 1.15GB per day, or 420GB per year. Sure it might be feasible to run a node if you're in a first world country with fast internet and cheap storage (cost of living wise), but even in rural america, 34.5GB is a significant chunk of bandwidth. Not to mention they eventually plan to raise it to 32MB, which works out to 4.6GB a day or 1.63TB/year.

Really? Because as an Android developer I have the exact opposite experience - navigating around Apple's iOS documentation feels like digging through obsolete webpages where bunch of parameters and methods aren't documented at all (especially around bitmap processing and some other older APIs).

Here are some articles about this topic (all in German):

Principally if a lie in your CV is uncovered, you can immediately be fired (even if it was not fraud in the legal sense; being a relevant reason to give you the job suffices), even if you worked for years in the company. So be honest.

> I'm educated to individually write CVs for each company related to what they need.

I am not a native English speaker - so I am not sure what you are trying to say here.

> I never needed to provide any proof either.

Some time ago as a sick leave cover I was in a commission for a rather prestigious academic scholarship for students. I had a lot of exaggerations and concealments in the application forms and CVs to uncover. If someone uncovered such one in the selection interview, you could be sure that the candidate would not be selected. For example so many candidates who claim to be interested in opera - and so easy to check. Or so many candidates who claim to be seriously interested in Linux or Android - no, only having installed some GNU/Linux distribution or having rooted your phone is not what I consider as serious interest. Or some guy who claimed that for altruistic reasons he developed some math training app for iOS for disabled pupils - but concealing that it had in-app purchase. If he had honestly claimed there was interest in entrepreneurship, this would have been no problem (surely even very positive). But since he claimed he did it just out of social conscience and concealed the in-app purchase, this was a central reason why the commission did not trust his integrity and decided against giving him the scholarship.

Similar things also hold for job applications. Things will typically be checked in the job interview - especially if they are relevant for the job.
So taking an example from one of the above articles: Don't claim that you apply because you are looking for new challenges if the honest reason is that you had trouble with the previous boss (the new employer can simply ask the old one if he suspects this reason). Also don't claim that you were on parental leave or travelling the world if you were unemployed at that time etc.
And this makes perfect sense. If they didn't do this every wallet of BTC would be completely duplicated. This forking thing doesn't make sense, BCH should essentially be a fresh blockchain, there is no reason to build on top of the accumulation of BTC transactions. The only value there is of keeping the existing chain is if BTC fails, then exchanges could begin honoring BTC wallets that exist on the BCH chain. But that even sounds like it's open to scamming/manipulation.
The argument cannot be flipped and that is why I called it trollish. There is no hypocrisy.

The US military does not post beheading videos, or any of the rebuttals I pposted easlier. There are periods were we did bad things, but those are the exception, and we take active effort to fix. the US military has ethics panels and a court system. Can you show me the ISIS court system?

Today the level of scandal is places like gitmo or drone strikes. We have an army of lawyers overseeing both. Waterboarding as inhumane as it is not the condoned rape of 14 year girl every day for 6 months because she was born into the wrong ethnicity.

One side has done wrong things. The other wants to do wrong things. The ethical line is clear.

EDIT- Also thank you for finally bringing up the real issue, the slippery slope.

My rebuttal to that is that what was posted was generally not legal as it was. Speech that incites violences is not protetected in the United States. The government is allowed to silence people doing things like calling for "Death to all Infidels". This isn't censorship this is enforcing laws we have already had for centuries.

It also takes sufficient life-situation stability, good health, and so on. Shaming people for lacking "ambition" is neither universally appropriate nor universally effective.

EDIT: I didn't originally upvote the parent comment, but I now have. I think there's a very interesting debate to be had when we consider individuals as economic actors. Disadvantaging individual participants in the "gig economy" too aggressively (e.g. by prosecuting Uber drivers for collusion) forces us towards solutions like unionization by dividing us into privileged capital and downtrodden labor. I'd like to talk more about we might empower individual actors (e.g. by improving the social "safety net" and making the job market more fluid).
Can you share some more details? I'd like to learn more. Any tools for such spycraft for everyday users?

You do realize it actually is not getting worse? Fukushima barely killed any people, while Chernobyl has ~100 casualties. The radiation of areas around Chernobyl is bigger and more lasting than those of Fukushima.

Not to mention these are 50yo plants, and new ones are just better (whether or not you believe the tests/physics behind that).

It is disingenuous to claim nuclear plant safety is getting worse.
Interestingly, beaches are inversely correlated with economic activity.

See http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v527/n7577/full/nature1...

Optimal average temperature for economic activity is 13 C, San Francisco average is 14 C.
The issue is that some people (appear to be) submitting very preliminary, and arguably low quality work to arXiv to stake a claim to some area. Once that work is "out there", people who were making a more serious effort to do things more carefully are obligated to cite the original work, presumably as part of the related work/background/etc.

I can see how this would be maddening, particularly if you started before the flag-planting paper was even written.
Bitcoin sex change? Are you affiliated with expert sex change?
Some already mentioned this list showing some exchanges that currently offer the ability to trade BCH assets for BTC or fiat currency. [1]

Note however that due to low count of blocks currently being mined for BCH there is no chance for the exchanges to get enough confirmations for deposited BCH from any (private, non-exchange) wallet to safely confirm the deposit.

So the only BCH assets that are currently being sold are probably the ones that were granted by the exchanges to the people that did not bother to transfer their BTC credit into their self-controlled wallet previous to the fork.

I think this is also a reason why BTC assets seem to be a bit overvalued right now.

Do you consider Google to be engaging in illegal activities by refusing to censor content according to China's wishes? Then yes, I am suggested Apple engage in illegal activities.
This is not a random fork. This is a fork with almost $400 million 24 hour volume. Coinbase should allow users to withdraw their BCC, since they are sitting on a huge pile of BCC units, which belong to customers.

It would be nice if this kind of philanthropy were more common so that it would no longer be weird. I've found PIA to be more of a company of principles than profits. They were booted out of Russia due to their refusal to compromise on their logging practices. Not every company has to be so money obsessed, especially those who don't have to face the pressure of outside investors. Hogging money can only bring so much happiness. There's also a ton of positive PR involved with the tech-savvy community (their consumer base) when donating to foundations / projects like this.
Thanks! I started making this after I bought a Macbook Air to replace my old Lenovo tablet PC. I really missed being able to draw precisely on a computer (which was possible with the tablet PC) and standard mouse input just doesn't do it for me.

Compared to other whiteboard apps, we're really focusing on alternatives to drawing with a mouse. My favorite feature (and possibly our most distinguishing feature) is the webcam scanner. It makes it really easy to scan a sheet of scratchwork and then rearrange terms and delete mistakes on the computer. Plus, it doesn't take a long time to draw the expressions, because you can do that with just pen and paper.
Nobody thought MySpace or GeoCities were going anywhere either...

They are most certainly still holding them. They would actually have to take intentional steps to burn them, and that would be silly to do as they'd literally be throwing away money.

It seems that there is an assumption from Coinbase that BCC will be nearly worthless, so it isn't worth building the infra to handle both currencies. They can choose to make users BCC available if there is enough demand for it.

Here's what Coinbase themselves say about this:

> Coinbase does not intend to interact with the Bitcoin Cash blockchain, or to access bitcoin cash (BCC). In order to safely and securely access bitcoin cash, Coinbase would need to undertake a process of designing and testing significant changes to our systems — including hot and cold storage. This is one of the core reasons customers will not be able to withdraw bitcoin cash after the fork on August 1st, 2017.

> If this decision were to change in the future and we were to access bitcoin cash, we would distribute to customers bitcoin cash (BCC) associated with bitcoin (BTC) balances at the time of the fork on August 1st, 2017. Coinbase would not keep the bitcoin cash associated with customer bitcoin (BTC) balances for ourselves.
But apparently there are enough people who care about privacy for Apple to market to them, and they could lose those as customers if it turns out that marketing consisted of empty words.
> I mean, Google could come right now and offer to buy SNAP for 10x what its currently valued at and Evan Spiegel could say no, even though its almost a certainty that the company will never be worth that much

Nah you still have to run the company in good faith or you will get sued and lose.
You mentioned front-end in this post, but I don't see a front-end job listing on https://www.noredink.com/jobs. Is that position not currently open?
Looks like a really cool project. Congratulations on the momentum!

I have some feedback to share:

- A thing that bothers me a bit is the extremely long URL that Guggy generates. It's probably not a priority, but those would look and play nicer as shortened links.

- As always there's a slight "uncanny valley" problem when computers match up images with natural language. I sent this to a co-worker as a test, and she complained about the insincere looks on the Seinfeld cast faces: http://bit.ly/2viBamB. It achieved the opposite of what I intended :I

- Let people re-caption existing Guggies
4 days on Coinbase is not enough time. The transactions there are unbelievably slow. It took me 2 days to transfer my bitcoin away, and this was a month ago. I can only imagine how slow it was during this fork process.
So who owns the correspondent BCH (assuming that the seller was a coinbase user before the fork)? Coinbase? The previous owner?
As a young man of low social acumen I particularly benefitted from the TV/film adaptations. The best are faithful to Austen's texts and contain added knowledge from the actors and directors.

Yeah, that's how I feel about this. It's not coinbase's responsibility to act as a host to all cryptocurrencies.

The article states,

> An activist group, which claims Coinbase's decision is akin to a brokerage withholding new shares from its investors, ...

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.

This is awesome, thank you for sharing this.
Legal journalism is surprisingly good. "Waymo filed a brief saying...; Uber denied..." I think it's because there is no pretense of reaching an objective conclusion. In other kinds of journalism, reporters typically will take peoples' one sided accounts and present them as facts, obfuscating that state of affairs in the name of protecting sources. But in an article about a lawsuit, everyone acknowledges that the filings are each party's one-sided account.
You're competing with all developers looking for remote work. Which isn't close to all.

Then, once you have remote experience, in most cases you're really only competing with other developers who have remote experience.

It's hard to get a remote job right out of college. But if you're good at your job, and have 5+ years of experience, with at least some remote experience, it's not that hard.

Certainly easier than "competing with ever developer in the US" makes it seem.
And if the price of BCC were to crash to single digit USD in a week it takes for Coinbase to come to a decision then the customers would have lost a fortune.

Seems like this is a case of "whatever you measure will be gamed": counting citations is an important part of how academics are evaluated at work, so we get flag-planting behavior to maximize that metric with minimal effort.

There's a similar issue in journal publishing: counting "published works" without regard for where leads to journals that will publish literally anything for cash.
My first language was BASIC on a Z80 Chip Sol 20 Computer. To play a game you had to type in pages of source code. Man what a pain with the line numbers and debugging for a 7 year old was insane. I then learned some LOGO, Pascal and Forth and then to Assembly in the C64 days for nefarious purposes.

I have to say that when I learned Scratch it reminded me of my old Logo days.
I would be very careful with this kind of statement: Even if it were technically feasible, this would quasi require trusted computing (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trusted_Computing), since the company can never be sure that you won't influence some computations.

I've looked into BCacheFS extensively. Two problems I have -- First, it's not there in features yet. It doesn't have quotas, nor snapshots.

Second, it lacks a formally published design for these features. Because the author is the only person with knowledge of how these things might work, it makes it really difficult to mitigate the bus factor while the project is still in heavy development.

Fun experiment to try out on your computer and experience the gradual death of the internet: block all domains and subdomains from Google and Facebook in your `/etc/hosts` file, and see how many other websites fail to function.

I've had this enabled for 6 months and I've seen websites stopped working as they should, e.g.:

- I couldn't reset my password in Twitch, it required (for some reason) access to both Facebook and Google servers. I had to temporarily disable the `/etc/hosts` restrictions

- National Geographic site fetches jQuery from Google and the website is unusable

- No more embedded Google Maps on many small websites (like local restaurants etc)

- Say bye to embedded YouTube videos

- Many small websites just display in blank

- Other websites have default ugly fonts but are still usable

So Google and Facebook's reach is not just related to direct visits to their sites. Essentially, without them, it's a very crippled internet. The one site that works great is Wikipedia, even its videos are self hosted.
