Slightly off topic but I think transaction fees should be as close to zero. No, I am not talking about lightning. If we need to start fresh and design a new system that allows it, I am all for ditching Bitcoin altogether as well. It will have served a purpose in that we have learned a lot.

To me, low transaction fees is more important than even anonymity or decentralization. My understanding of the problem is that we need to somehow encourage everyone to run a full node. We've decided a transaction fee that goes to "miners" is a good way to do that.

Well, my problem is that now miners want higher transaction fees. We have inherently opposite goals and as such I cannot be allied with miners at all.
lol, this probably wasn't his first work.
Anyone know where in the talk it has the mention of "Debugging tools (mostly!) work well"?

I'm skipping back and forwards through it, but the talk isn't in the same order as this article which is making it very difficult without watching the whole talk from start -> end.

Asking because debugging is a pain point I've been having with Go for a few months, so am surprised to see it described as mostly working well. I'd like to get my debugging experiences to at least that level of "(mostly) working well". :D
Even Toronto wouldn't necessarily be safe since a fair few people are going to have to transit the US to get there - a quick search on Hipmunk suggests at least 50-60% of the London to Toronto flights involve a US layover.
keybase uses your gpg key more as a _bootstrap_ to prove your identity, and to then sign your _keybase key_ (which isn't gpg as far as I could tell from the spec).

e.g. you can see I used my GPG key to sign all of my proofs (proving identity), and to also sign my keybase keys which then have signed other keybase keys:

>>So, let's just put it clearly: suppose someone who is, at the time, not physically present in the US, breaks into a computer system which is physically present in the US at that time.

So your strawman has nothing to do with the topic at hand

The US Government in this case is not claiming this person broke into any computer system, they are saying this person developed a tool that was then sold (outside the US) to others that then may have been used by unnamed 3rd parties to break into computers.

So to make up a true hypothetical, if a person A in Russia make a small computer program that cracks passwords. Then sells that computer program to person B in Russia, then person B uses that program to break into a US Computer, did person A break US law, and be charged under US Law?

I say no, you clearly believe yes.

Akin to my thinking. Bluetooth still sucks. In terms of connectivity, it is in no way comparable to the seamless functioning of the older port. The data rate has required compression that screws with the signal quality, and then there are the latency issues.

If Bluetooth was "great", everyone would already be using it. They aren't. Ergo, it's not time for the "legacy" port to go.

I am also concerned about the push to end-to-end digital delivery. Which also gets DRM-ed up the wazoo.

Mostly likely the US confusing investigation with being involved with the criminal activity.

They probably didn't even know about his job or previous good deeds when they arrested him. It's probably a blanket arrest based on communication metadata and relationships between involved parties. They're probably trying save face right now.

I'm not sure if you're talking about Patreon failing or them maliciously not sending you your money, but in either case the answer seems fairly obvious: You publish something to your audience telling them what happened, and ask them to use an alternative payment system.

You'll probably lose some portion of your income due to the friction, but given that your patrons are likely to be fairly devoted fans, I'd imagine the retention will probably be pretty good.
If Facebook doesn't want to account for a country's laws, Facebook needs to make sure it never hires employees in that country, never has any key personnel visit that country even briefly, etc.

Again: this is not a bizarre new unprecedented never-before-considered hypothetical.

In the gambling case, it's actually even easier, by the way, to create jurisdiction since the gambling site needs a way to actually pay out to its customers, which makes it very hard to avoid certain countries' financial rules. I don't particularly care for the US' stance on online betting (but let's face it, those folks aren't caught up in some kind of "how could I have known" situation -- they're like the people who ran the original p2p file-sharing networks saying they were shocked, shocked! to discover that what must have been a tiny, insignificant, sub-microscopic fraction of their users were openly violating laws), but the legal framework around being able to arrest/extradite people and prosecute for crimes which involve people on multiple sides of a border is pretty well-understood and I know of no way in which this is some sort of unprecedented abuse of it.

Again, look to the auction sites which got notice from Germany to either stop being accessible at all there, or start filtering out the Nazi stuff so Germans couldn't purchase it.

Sad that Rust advocates are not learning. This sort of comment is what drives people away from Rust. Stop ramming your stuff down other people's throats. Go build that exclusively Rust based Dropbox clone that outperforms Dropbox and show how well Rust performs in that situation.

Rust has trade-offs just like Go has trade-offs. Being honest about the deficiencies of ones chosen platform is a good thing, it helps to keep you sharp and to avoid problems associated with those deficiencies.

Besides having an over-zealous community that posts off-topic comments all over threads that have nothing to do with Rust, Rust has deficiencies too.

Note also that Dropbox is already using Rust in some places.

This isn't even close to how modern fractional reserve banking systems or payment settlement processes work. The average user has no need to understand these systems, just as they will have no need to understand how the blockchain works in order to benefit from it.

We have made a step towards unifying HDFS with a distributed SQL layer by doing something different- we put HDFS' metadata in MySQL Cluster (NDB) - an in-memory distributed DB that scales to 10s of nodes. NDB is not your father's MySQL. The result is HopsFS that scales to at least 16X HDFS on throughput (Usenix FAST 2017). See here: www.hops.io

We have since adapted Hive SQL to move its metadata to the same DB as HopsFS (MySQL Cluster). We added foreign keys from Hive tables to the backing directories in HDFS. The result is strongly consistent metadata for Hive. That is, you can remove a backing directorty for a DB or table in HopsFS, and Hive's DB or table is automatically deleted. If you have ideas for next steps, we're all ears. It's all open-source:

Anyone can create a new altcoin which starts with bitcoin balances at certain point of the history. If every bitcoin exchange has to support every new altcoin that does that, it would be lots of hassle. I don't think legally the exchanges would be required to provide features for the new altcoins, but it is nice from them if they do.
I can't speak for most of the EU, but I know that for the UK, it's a lot of paperwork, but overall not difficult to get a visa if you have a job offer from a UK employer and they've sponsored visas before.

And while not a part of the EU, it's quite straightforward to get a visa for Norway if you have a job offer in IT or other professional fields, with the major exception being healthcare, where it can be difficult to get your credentials recognized, and you have to pass an exam showing proficiency in Norwegian.

It only existed for 7 years, but some small fraction of cars are driven much more than others. Typical lifetime of a car is 15 years, so why are you surprised that some are driven 2x more than average? Of course there are many such cars, maybe whole 1% of those made in the first year - hundreds of them. That is not an extreme, one in a million case - one in a million case looks like this: http://www.tilburyautosales.com/used/Ford/2014-Ford-F-250-2d...

No, Teslas will never need battery replacement. Contrary, batteries outlive cars severalfold (yes they can be bricked by grossly violating their usage rules in a way BMS can't prevent, but this is not wear and tear - it is equally easy to do with a brand new or 10 year old car - that's approximately an equivalent of what happens if you fill a gasoline car with diesel). With a normal averagely intense usage and a good driver, a battery will last 40-50 years which is much, much more than it makes sense to keep using a car itself.
For a group of people that keep saying they're cool with "LEGAL" immigrants, I'm confused - what is the need for a change?

For all you non-Nobel-Price holders that aren't uneducated and want to live somewhere else: Germany welcomes you.
Actually, having a bachelor's degree in the STEM field almost automatically gets you a visa for "searching work" for 6-12 months. If in that time you find a job that pays at least ca. 40.000 Euro, you get the "BlueCard" which leads to permanent residency after 2-4 years (depending on your German skills). If you are well qualified, but not in the STEM fields, about 60.000€ yearly salary paves the way. There is no point system, there is no maximum number of BlueCards, you don't have to be the best of the best (just "regular" well educated people) and you get your shot. We are just going through the process with a family member of my wife and it is surprisingly painless compared to most other German bureaucracy. In contrast to the USA, Germany is actively searching for more talent abroad and has reasonable acceptance criteria (never thought I would say this about my country...).
> Yes, now white supremacists trying to make sure brown people die in the ocean

Could you back up this garbage with evidence? I presume you're talking about e.g. Lauren Southern and Defend Europe.
The indictment seems to think he was a bit more involved than that.

What you seem to want him to be is, to spin out an analogy, an innocent shopkeeper who happens to sell sporting goods, and is now saddened to learn that someone bought a cricket bat from him and used it to beat someone up. The indictment is alleging something more like "Anybody here looking to beat someone up? I've got cricket bats that are great for this, and am happy to provide assistance and pointers and work with you as you choose who to beat up and how!"

Seriously, read the indictment. If they can prove he either was involved in deploying/using/explaining how to use the malware against specific US victims, or that he knew who the intended victims were and provided the malware for use against them with that knowledge, then he's dead to rights on a US charge.

In the context of information technology that's perhaps somewhat accurate though, right? City states centralized information into religious and political power structures. That pretty much stayed the same until the invention of the printing press. Maybe you could add the invention of double entry accounting and the banking industry it created, which allowed cooperation between disparate city states. But I'm not sure what else might be an epoch in between.

Though class names they used can be more uniform IMO.
The syntax of the arrow function does a great job of making this explicit too. On top of that it offers 1) brevity/ease of use, and 2) standardization.

From my experience at least, binding to the outer/creating scope is something I do very often, and as far as I know my use of JS is pretty idiomatic.

Concerning 1, being able to use terser, clearer syntax for something I do so often is a huge win, and in regards to 2, it's nice to see an arrow function and to immediately know what this means, and hella better than having to search for a .bind(), var self = this, var that = this, Car.method(), etc, all equally valid as an approach, and depending entirely on the whims of the programmer behind this code.

Hiring laws do tend to outlaw discrimination based on age except in a few circumstances - there are laws specifying the minimum age to be able to sell alcohol, and there's an age at which commercial pilots have to stop flying.

If congress didn't specifically include a provision to note that age discrimination laws didn't apply to this, it would likely end up being challenged in court, but I certainly couldn't say what the outcome would be.

Other countries do this as well - it's not right, but the people developing this policy don't have an original bone in their body, so of course they're going to copy what other countries already have!

In my experience:

- Ubuntu is not stable

- it is not hardened out of the box

- it can contain dangerous configuration out of the box

- it calls home

- it will tempt you to install dev packages or other packages unfit for production (because devs dev on ubuntu and they require the dev packages)

But please, don't mind me. Other people are better at explaining this. I'm biassed.

Most addicts preferring heroin shouldn't be surprise to anyone. Fentanyl was developed as an alternative to existing opioids that acts faster, goes out of your system faster and has less side effects (with the pain relief being the only wanted effect). The fact that it is very strong (easy to overdose) isn't really that much of an issue in clinical use.

If only this were in any way true. There is a such thing as mental abuse, after all. Some folks lived through this growing up. Gaslighting is just words too. Folks kill themselves due to harassment. That harassment? Yeah, it can be nothing more than daily messages and/or phone calls and/or letters. Widespread, open racist speech generally signals an environment where racist actions are well-tolerated, I'm assuming (I have no links to back it up at the time). Oh, and this mental distress from words can produce physiological symptoms. But hey, they are nothing more than words, right?

The old cliche you speak of only works in a few situations. Someone calling you names or saying mean things on the street don't really hurt you if they are isolated incidents. This is the usual context when this is used. But in a broader sense? It simply doesn't pan out. It isn't the same thing, no, but I'm not sure why that matters. A slap on the rear someone should be able to get over, a punch maybe not. I'm pretty sure both can be prosecuted as physical assult in some situations yet in others, be perfectly acceptable courses of action. Same with words, it depends on how you use them to how much damage it will do.
