I've been playing stringed instruments for more than 10 years. The 'e' 'x' combination is probably the most spastic and slowest key combination on a qwerty keyboard. I type about 100 WPM, so typing exa doesn't take _that_ long. But it feels like it's at least 5 times slower than typing ls. Which would be really annoying for a command that you'd be typing all day.
Why is it a problem that if you commit a crime and then visit a geographic location where the local governing entity has jurisdiction, you could get arrested?

The only weapon you have (that they care about) is a chargeback dispute.

I know a story when someone bought some coins with Visa credit card and they had some issues with Conibase service. Same story with tickets - open only to have it closed down next day with suggestion to look into knowledge base.

Then they proceed to the bank and opened a chargeback dispute based on false advertising (legitimate reason) that Coinbase promised to help and are not.

You see - since crypto-currency is not tangible item (you can call it service, if you will), neither Visa, nor Amex or Mastercard will have issues with your dispute, because there is even no tracking to proof you received your "product". Of course once the funds are returned to your credit card and bank notifies Coinbase about the dispute, Coinbase will take your coins away from you, but that's not the point. You see -- it doesnt matter to Visa if you process $1 billion in monthly transactions - if you have too many chargebacks, they will shut you down. End of the story. You open another account - you go on the MATCH list and owner(s) SSN/IDs are on it for 5 years so bye bye processing credit card transactions.

Coinbase might not care about you (I am sure they do per se, they just cheap and won't hire enough eyeballs to answer customer support), but surely they care about their chargebacks dispute level.
From the pictures on Facebook there was no sign of a struggle, the woman in the cell next to him and the cop monitoring the cells both told the same story. It is unlikely that the Thai police would suicide someone for drug crimes that were committed outside the Kingdom. There is just no angle in it.

The Thai Police were looking at huge publicity for arresting him. They would want him alive. Clearly he didn't have the connections he needed to be a rich criminal in the Kingdom otherwise he'd have evaded arrest (they had him under surveillance for a while.)

I think it is likely that he chose suicide on his own terms over a lifetime sentence in a US jail. Given the lifestyle he was used to, facing a lifetime in US jail would be pretty depressing.

Also during this spring when BTC was up and down on a day to day basis, their services/app was down a few times. Just when you need the app the most, it fails you.

I am a bit curious about the 90th percentile tho.

"Anyone with less than a 60th percentile proficiency gets no points. Between 60th and 80th percentile is worth six points, someone in the 80th to 90th percentile range earns 10 points, someone with a 90th percentile proficiency or above earns 11 points, and someone in the 100th percentile range earns 12 points"

I can't understand if it means, on a test with 1000 points, for the 90th percentile:

1.) you scored at least 900 points.

Or

2.) you did better than 90% of the persons that took the test (That's what I understand by percentile. But it doesn't make sense since mathematically you can't have a 100th percentile. Except if you approximate 99.995 -> 100)

If you run a business, and decide to do business with people in another country, it's your responsibility to figure out if the business you're doing is legal for that country. This is only a strange idea to a certain segment of internet commenters. The rest of the world has just treated this as the way things are for a long, long, long time. The new, strange, radical idea out of step with established norms is the notion that "on the internet" is some magical lawless, stateless, jurisdictionless place where anything is fair game since nobody could ever prosecute for something that happened in this magical fairyland.

It really is time to stop being surprised that you can be arrested and prosecuted for your interactions and business relationship with people, property or other entities in a country of which you aren't a citizen.

Also, don't look now, but large tech companies headquartered in the US routinely make changes to their products/services to comply with other countries' laws. If Facebook wants to operate in Thailand, Facebook has to be prepared to comply with Thai law, for example. "We're on the internet" doesn't work as an out.

You actually need quite a bit of money to be eligible for the diversity visa AKA green card lottery. One of the requirements is that you are able to support yourself for weeks/months while you are looking for a job. Proof of funds is required, and it better be around $10k per person.

Having said that, I still think you are on point about the American Dream available for everyone willing to work hard. It just starts before you enter the US since green cards are not handed out that easily even though it is called a lottery.
If bringing in ordinary people is beneficial, then it seems reasonable to say an ideal system would allow that.
Coinbase is a horrific company: they give the superficial impression of being a reputable place to hold money, but one can go months at a time without a human response to support queries despite holding a substantial balance with them.

I cannot warn other potential victims of Coinbase strongly enough; hopefully the chaos and incompetence around BCC will alert people more publicly about the dangers of getting entangled with them. Hold your cryptocurrency in your own wallet that you control yourself.

The reason is, of course, that there's nothing in nature that would trigger this false perception.

I am a sysadmin with approx 15 years of experience running linux systems and open source software. When I set things up, I tend to form things my way. I usually have little resources for monitoring or staff, so automation is the best to do.
A server serves, it may produce errors and you can act upon that (error 404 for not finding phpmyadmin (which should _never_ be public => add ip to drop table). There are scripts that can do this for you.

However, the application which is being served, may produce different errors (failed login attempt, attempt for sql injection, cross site attack, ...). Some things are better logged by the application, Then the application needs to produce these logs. An awful lot of applications do nothing when presented with any of these type of attacks, making them extremely vulnerable. It's the dev's job to provide logging.

You don't need that.

The surprising thing about project managers who use the phrase "when-will-it-be-done" far too much is that they're often willing to help you with getting resources and getting help/cooperation "across silos" if you ask them in the right way.

They want the project to progress. Desperately.

From their point of view they're often powerless people surrounded by line workers that don't want to interact with them, yet they're somehow responsible for the success of the project. They're acutely aware that the meetings are often pointless for workers, deep inside, they know that coloring red/yellow/green rectangles on a gantt chart is of little value.

You can use that to your advantage if you make a request and frame it such that they can advance your progress concretely by helping you in some way that isn't possible for you to do alone.

> If you run a business, and decide to do business with people in another country

I understand this to an extent if specific technical work was done to make a system function in a particular nation (e.g. if the betting site did technical work to accept USD as a payment).

But, it's very possible to build a website and not decide to do business with people in another country. It's possible to be running an online business and not need to know what country a user is from. If I never decided to do business with people from a particular country, am I still subject to its laws?

In the example, what if Facebook didn't specifically want to operate in Thailand? What if Facebook simple hadn't taken specific technical steps to block Thai users?
Isn't that what they are doing?

My impression of the pure DL approaches is that the preferred way to go about it is to map from each available language example, via a common latent representation, to every other available language example.

If you're reading the nytimes for crypto, then you're behind the curve. Bigly. Digital coins. Fucking morons.

& if you're reading the nytimes for crypto investment advice, then you're probably exposing yourself to risk with limited upside. Find someone who is investing in this shit full-time & give your money to them. Even tech VCs invest in crypto hedge funds. Polychain Capital is an example. Olaf Carlson-Wee (who runs it) was on the cover of Forbes recently (I believe ). They're the type of ppl you want investing for you. You could also bing Ari David Paul &/or Chris Burniske. The former is opening a fund. The latter will probably open a fund after his book 'Cryptoassets' is released (I think that's the play).
If you read the indictment, the claim alleged is that some of the computers affected were in the US at the time the crime occurred. Which would give the US jurisdiction.

This is not a new, dangerous, slippery, radical, unprecedented idea in law. It doesn't lead to people digging up murder victims' corpses and importing them to other countries to give those countries jurisdiction over the murder, etc., because the law has worked this way for a very long time.

> - reverse proxy to backend webserver

Using a reverse proxy allows you to cache static content, decreasing load. I'm not talking about load balancers. These days you need them when your website pulls _a lot_ of requests (1000/s) Your reverse proxy will also stop unwanted requests and indeed will have a firewall incorperated.

> - run checks on each request on the reverse proxy

post => clamav

post => sqlinjection

get => blacklisted address?

any => iptables (let any connection go through your firewall. It's a check)

don't terminate SSL on reverse proxy though. It's a bad idea, unless you are a bad person and like to read your visitors data they think is secure.

There are plenty of other ways of using security on a reverse proxy. Have a look around on google.
