You're saying that people buying BCH right now aren't aware that there's a huge glut of supply waiting to flood the market, and aren't taking this into account in their buying decisions?

There is no need for anyone to have BCH in hand today, no reason for someone to value a BCH today more than a BCH in a week. If they thought that thousands of people selling BCH once they are able will lead to a drop in price, they would just buy at the lower price.
Silicon Valley CMO with a record here - would love to offer pro bono marketing help if needed.
I'm not here to rebuke what you've said, as I can see you are speaking about this personally but I want to provide my two cents and say that a stronger and richer China is the same rationale the Chinese Communist Party tells its people and how it justifies its way of government and repression.

People are clearly suffering in Korea and I think that mean certain things need to change, especially with major chaebols affecting politics, corruption and constraining people. Stronger and richer does not equate to happiness.
Reasonablish, although we do (and I feel a bit monstrous saying some of this) already have existing models in the form of NA reservations and the Amish.

Both of these are (massively?) out-competing groups (one of them through "no fault of their own") who are maintaining existence.

Even a bit more of a deliberate effort on the part of the competitive majority to support any (and again, feel a bit monstrous) "baseline reserve population" would probably succeed enough.
I read one of the first sentences of one of the paragraphs as "Kids’ videos are among the most wretched content in YouTube history," and went "well, yeah, Spiderman and Elsa and all that weird shit." Then I reread it properly and realized it said "watched content," and went, "yeah, that makes more sense, but it's definitely some of the worst stuff on the internet.
You seem to be conflating expectations and reality.

They did kill the business, but Symantec was able to salvage part of it.

Figwheel has time-travel debugging, which is nifty. To be honest, my debugging is quite basic and quick, I've been doing it long enough that when I see an error it's clear what the fix is almost immediately. I suspect this is what happens in most languages regardless of their error handling mechanisms.
Well, I was simply taking the person I was responding to at their word. I'm not aware of evidence on either side of the issue of whether women negotiate more or less, I was just granting them their supposition, because I think its irrelevant.

If you had those coins on Bitfinex or Kraken then yes your account will have an equal amount of BCC. As they are on your exchange account, you can trade them for BTC and go about spending those the usual way. You can also withdraw BCC but it'd take days.

This happens frequently with this genome editing technique. It is one of the most common failure modes.
Neat, but there's no activity from that account.
Negotiation doesn't just happen in the room. Negotiation is heavily affected by what you do before you enter the room. Someone who is, for example, looking at multiple offers and who wants a high salary is going to "negotiate" a better salary than someone who has only one offer -- not because of some magical skills of course.

It's possible that society better equips men for job searching in general, and too much focus is placed on the very moment of agreeing to a salary.

Four Lessons for Founders from Jason Calacanis’ Book “Angel”
The same for me. Apparently they want to "create simple protocols that introduce new standards for cross-blockchain login, payment, governance, and oracles.".

Not sure what that even means. People will shower them with money though I am sure.
> Higher isolation levels add read locks that can block concurrent transactions.

Not in Oracle they don't. Reads in Oracle never block. You could argue that what Oracle calls serializable is in fact only snapshot isolation.
Which is better because the original blockchain rewarded the majority of bitcoins to very low difficulty early adopters running nothing more then a 3GHz CPU. Why would you want to keep an old blockchain and keep raising the difficulty? Why not keep the difficulty high and announce the date of the new chain without premining? Because it's a ponzi scheme, and it's easy to hide behind the technical jargon and hype propaganda that all the speculators are publishing.

Thousands of other BTC was rewarded to protocol hackers who exploited the empty block rewards and submitted useless "Proof of Work" to the network. Mining pools have also reaped plenty of bitcoins on the "original blockchain" by manipulating their stance as overseers of a vast swath of the mining activity in the network where they could simply prioritize their transactions and rewards over the slaves in their mining pool.

This is not even mentioning the inherent slowness and susceptibility to ASIC attacks, and overall antiquated design of both BTC and BCC network designs.
Freenode in its original form was slowly dying - running in partnership with Private Internet Access means they don't have to stress out quite so much about stretching every penny and the behind-the-scenes of running a non-profit, and can focus on the longer-term projects they've been trying to implement.

Freenode is registered as a "private company limited by guarantee without share capital" performing "activities of other membership organisations not elsewhere classified", with Christel and Andrew Lee (PIA's founder) as officers, and Andrew Lee having the majority of voting rights. Any profits are not to be distributed under their articles of association, making it a not-for-profit company.

Frankly speaking... I suspect that Andrew Lee is a techie who came into a pile of money and actually, legitimately wants to prevent IRC from dying.
Just curious, how many hours do you think you've spent on this project?

I know it doesn't feel like it when you get on Twitter or turn on the news, but human beings are far nicer to each other today than they have ever been in history.

My point is that there is no driver for the price to crash. There will not suddenly be a surprise supply of BCH found that will flood the market. Everyone knows that there is 1 BCH for every BTC out there, and that almost none of that is currently able to be exchanged on a market. That includes every single person who is driving up the price of BCH by purchasing it in the limited markets where it is available.
Most men may agree with you because they're socialized to think that way. Most women may not.
Bit tangential, but I read an interesting theory this morning:

Because there is greatly reduced liquidity of BCH (most exchanges don't support, hard/slow to deposit into exchanges that do), supply of BCH is artificially limited at the moment. Proponents of BCH can trade their BTC for BCH at a rate greater than they believe it is worth to easily pump the value and 'market cap' (most market cap stats have no measure of this 'locked supply') to make BCH appear more popular than it is at a fraction of the price that would be necessary if selling was easy. This could sway more miners to choose to mine BCH over BTC, and in doing so, actually increase the real value of BCH.

> I thought that Swedish kindergartens and schools make sure not to force gender roles on children

The problem is, even if they didn't do that what about parents who grew up thinking that and then project it on their kids? What about TV and other media consumption that shows stereotypical roles?

It's hard to account for and eliminate all types of gender roles because many are more subtle and / or "normal" to most people who grew up with it.

A quick anecdote: my daughter, who loves science and computers, was playing 'house' with her classmates in preschool when several children told her she had to play the role of mommy while they go out and work in this pretend scenario they created. This made my daughter think "I want to be a boy because girls can't have cool jobs". Those kids she was playing with weren't ever told this is how things had to be but they all had stay-at-home moms so they just assumed it was normal and how things are supposed to be. My wife is also a stay-at-home mom which likely helped reinforce it regardless of how much encouragement we both give our daughter.

So everything influences kids. It's hard to control for all of these variables.
Why does the Soundcloud iPhone app have ZERO social functionality?

I can't read comments, post comments, see which of my followings liked this track too. I can't even see the date a track was posted, or read its description.

Come on, Soundcloud.
I have several hundred unit tests and also a bunch of integration tests. While UTs usually test API of individual classes, each of the ITs creates a swarm of local peers and launches a torrenting session with certain conditions: seeders to leechers ratio, downloading from .torrent file vs using a magnet link, PEX enabled/disabled, encrypted vs raw message streams, etc.

Benchmarks (like in libtorrent) is something I'm looking forward to, but the project is still in the early stage -- there's a lot to be done with regards to optimization, i.e. switching to using NIO selectors, adding a caching layer, etc. That's a lot of work, and that's why I'm looking for collaborators, before investing more time into performance-tuning.

I wouldn't even say that's 2x a 'normal' salary. I'd say that's about the right range for senior talent with a proven history to execute. Pay peanuts, get monkeys. These folks want results, and they know the surefire way to get them.
We've seen the same thing play out time and again when deposits or withdrawals are prevented on an exchange- the order book gets eaten through.

Not trying to minimize BCH, but if you don't see that, look at what happened when people had trouble withdrawing from Gox, or when BitFinex had issues with USD withdrawals. It leads to pressure on the price.
From NYT that has actual numbers:

> Seed and angel investors completed about 900 deals in the second quarter, down from roughly 1,100 deals in the second quarter of 2016 and close to 1,500 deals during that time period in 2015, according to a report released last month by Seattle-based PitchBook Inc, which supplies venture capital data.

> The dollar amount provided by seed and angel investors was $1.65 billion in the second quarter. That's just shy of the $1.75 billion for the same time period of 2016.

That's slowing from 2015, but IMO these changes are pretty insignificant.
After reading their whitepaper it seems they want to become Stripe for blockchain.

So they will create JSON API as an abstraction on top of all blockchains.

And you will be able to use this single API to do operations on various blockchains.
“It is important to note that the Defendant was not permitted to refuse to answer questions under fear of contempt proceedings, and his counsel was not permitted to clarify the answers to questions.

How does asking why someone feels harassed help?

Let's assume for the sake of argument that women and men are equally likely to "harass" someone, and let's say that likelihood is 10%.

When there is a 50:50 gender split, you get equal harassment. You'll have five harassers and five victims, so everyone has a 1:10 chance of being harassed.

Now let's have a 90:10 gender split. With still the same equal 1:10 chance, a woman now has a 90% chance of being harassed, whereas a man's chance is 1%. Due to this being an n^2 problem, a 10:1 gender ratio leads to a 100:1 "harassment ratio".

These are simply numerical calculations. How does how someone "feels" about them impact them?
F# Programming Textbook from Wikibooks in EPUB and MOBI Formats
For #3 see 'Gender Differences in Personality and Interests: When, Where, and Why?'[1] The difference between being thing-oriented and people-oriented is larger than the things we think of as obvious gender differences like physical aggressiveness or attitudes toward casual sex.

"For the people–things dimension of interests, the results in Table 1 are clear, strong, and unambiguous. Men tend to be much more thing-oriented and much less people-oriented than women (mean d = 1.18, a ‘very large’ difference, according to Hyde (2005) verbal designations"

Multiple large holders have publicly said they'll dump their BCH. Grayscale, plenty of others have made their trading preference public. Of course that's not the same as hearing the market and putting your money where you mouth is- but right now the market is being restricted due to deposit issues.
5 - 8. I was concerned at first. But there's so many of these on YouTube that have pretty high view counts, that my worry pretty quickly went from "my friend's kids are weird" to "kids are weird".
Some time back, I remember reading from either a Soundcloud or Bandcamp employee (same issue) that they didn't include volume control because they didn't want users to hang around on their site habitually and treat it as a player. They wanted people to buy the music instead. A little odd, but it's not too far-fetched.
I've found the timezone to be quite an issue. For a start a lot of positions advertised as Remote really mean Remote US Only, but then there are also many companies that aren't too concerned about being outside USA. I'm in UTC+12 which doesn't overlap well with USA or UK. USA is a bit better, but I didn't get one role because they had a 9:00am daily meeting which would have been 4:00am my time, and that just didn't seem practical. There is another person in my town that works for a UK company by staying up all night though.
Cultural inertia is surely a factor, but I doubt it's as severe as the parent is insinuating. For instance, how do you explain women overtaking men in say, veterinary medicine? At one point, the field was entirely male dominated.
I think the whole issue of "unequal pay" seems very made-up and political and does not make any sense at all, at least in any way anyone can do anything about it... bear with me while I try to explain it.

Lets say there are differences in how much certain demographics of people get paid over another. Lets take short vs tall people or black vs white or with blood groups positive vs negative. Lets say that there is a difference in average pay for people with positive blood groups vs negative blood groups. So what? It could be completely arbitrary or there could be an underlying cause that makes employers pay one type of blood group over another. Either way, why should an employer pay any more than what they think the position is worth as long as someone is willing to voluntarily work for that amount of money? What's in it for any employer to pay more than the employee negotiated to work for?
I've been hoping funding would slow so all the dead wood (we don't need all these delivery apps) can burn off without adding more to replace them. Hopefully we'll see companies try to grow sustainable businesses rather than a bunch of zombie startups that persist when they really shouldn't.
How does this change this?

I take a CDDL licensed source code file. I take a GPL licensed source code file. I add inline the GPL licensed code to the CDDL licensed file, and release an executable form of the result. In order to comply with the GPL I then give out a single source code file under the GPL license terms with the code from the two files.

Is this in compliance with the CDDL terms and conditions?
Personally, I always had (and still have) a much more positive view of the XKCD. I believe it actually shows an interesting way how people try to make the world better, and share their knowledge, in face of noticed errors.

I believe this mechanism can be also used with premeditation, as an interesting way to encourage collaboration and solicit help. I seem to recall, that in early days of Wikipedia, it was explicitly suggested that editors should not fix small errors and typos in articles, so as to provoke newcomers to fix them, and this way "interactively" teach them how wiki works and provoke ("positively trick") them to start collaborating. Based on this, I'm sometimes pondering whether conscious erroneous assertions (e.g in a blog article) might possibly be a better way to solicit help on the Internet (e.g. via blog comments) than explicit questions. But I'm not quite sure, and also I can't shake the feeling that it'd be manipulative.
the overall point is there is institutional and social pressure (mostly unconscious or learned) for women to avoid those fields.

Is it wise to assign a heavy weighting to an unmeasurable, unverifiable, ethereal sense of discouragement?

What is measurable are character traits that tend to exhibit themselves more strongly in one sex over the other (of course, this varies from individual to individual), and this could help to explain why men and women tend to choose different career paths.

If you believe that women, as a whole, tend to possess the qualities of caring, empathy, and compassion more than men (the cause of which could be biological), it stands to reason that careers which allow them to actualise these qualities would be more attractive, at the expense of monetary gain.

The result of this is, on average, more women occupy a subset of jobs that are difficult, worthwhile, but ultimately of lower economic value in our version of capitalism.

While this does and could not account for the entire issue, it offers one plausible reason that's worthy of some merit.
Why should the programmmer care about whether the underlying function is named or not?
The masses are just extraordinarily ignorant when it comes to politics, largely because the media has shoveled down this erroneous notion that Communism = Soviet style fascism, and Socialism = capitalism with a strong government and nanny state.

They will own 30%of digicert.

I think this deal should put digicert on a "one strike and you're out" zone as well.

I don't understand what's going on. Digicert will give Symantec 800M+ cash and a 30% equity?

And Symantec will generously allow the current digicert CEO to continue as the CEO of digicert? Doesn't look like Symantec is selling anything. Looks like Symantec is buying digicert from the owners of digicert.

In what way is a fork a derived asset? Let's say an advertiser, unprompted, decided to send a free DVD to everyone who owns a sailboat. Your sailboat is in storage at a large marina that stores hundreds of sailboats, so the publisher drops a big stack of these DVDs in front of the marina office. Is the ownership of the marina obligated to accept these DVDs and mail one to each owner at its own cost? Receiving unsolicited DVDs is not in your storage contract with the marina.
In addition to other reasons, two kinds of leave are conflated in the US system. There's the sort of leave that occurs when the kid is born. Women typically can spend days (sometimes more) in the hospital convalescing after a birth. Leave policies don't really distinguish between "leave to have a baby" and "leave to look after a baby," it's all lumped under "maternity leave."
