Coco enables the ledger to mask all data, including metadata precisely to prevent the leakage you ask about. When a ledger integrates with Coco it decides what capabilities to take advantage of - and how much data to expose to the public, to permissioned participants, to counterparties or to any other role. Similarly, when someone writes a smart contract on top of a ledger, they can take advantage of the confidentiality features to decide what to expose to their callers based on the role of the caller.

We are aiming to enable a decentralized system that behaves the way that enterprises expect the data layer should behave - to only expose data to authorized callers. The cool thing about it being decentralized is that you don't have to trust/pay any one party to run it, and your authorized callers can include many counterparties within a market.

First, fill up your portfolio for lower risk categories.

Don't make high risk investments until you have met your quota for investments that will pay predictable returns for any event short of the end of civilization, those that will pay predictable returns whenever the market hasn't just unexpectedly crashed within the last few months, those with a solid business model and a relatively secure customer base, and those that look promising and might just get lucky one day in the future.

If you have a dollar that you could burn to ashes just for fun, you can spend that one on cryptocurrency speculation.

That's gambling money. If you feel lucky, you can try to pick winners, but if you want to win in the long run, you'll need to just buy some of each one. Just weight your purchases by the estimated market cap of each individual currency. You'll end up with mostly Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Litecoin, and a little bit of everything else. Rebalance occasionally.

For purposes of your future planning, just pretend that the value in your crypto portfolio is $0. Anything you put into it can drop to zero overnight, if a hacking/looting scandal breaks on the news right after you go to sleep. You're only allowed to count gains when you actually take them out of the crypto ecosystem and put them into some other asset class.
If you're using a word that requires explanation that you mean it innocently perhaps it's wise to use a different word.
ROT-13 the entries in the list. Update ad blockers to read that format. Solved.
There's no way that affiliate links can pay the bills for publishers; numbers don't ad up (otherwise everyone would do it, and no one does -- well, actually, there's extremely limited situations where it works in some consumer corners, but those situations are limited and the total amount of revenue is also very limited). And how much extra traffic are you really going to refer? Ads are sold on the thousand -- $X per thousand (consumer can be cents up to maybe $8, B2B much higher). So even if you referred 200 people that's not even worth any effort. Unfortunately, if you're not going buy a subscription, register for a paper or click on an ad, you're probably not worth anything to the site anyhow.
Have you used any that are actually effective? Please share if so :)

I work within the trash collection industry and we've tried several different optimization schemes that in general don't come close to optimal efficiency. The marketing for a lot of the optimization companies would lead you to believe that they're able to unlock a lot more efficiency than they actually deliver. Our clients that have applied algorithms to optimize their routes quickly reverted to human optimization since the algorithms fail to provide any benefit and typically require tremendous effort to get started.

I would love to discover an algorithm that is able to consistently provide actually optimized collection routes without hand holding!
Came to say the same. I've seen good developers that are working on front-end, back-end, and full-stack.

The key is that they are a good developer. Where they focus usually has more to do with the organizational structure and its values than the engineer. If they are the best in their area, if you move them, they quickly become the best in that area.

Besides when back-end means you work on a web API and frontend means you work on a web UI, is there really that much of a difference? It's not like we are talking about completely different technologies.

Since you are here, can you also surface anything about potential plans for offering an improved (and possibly paid-for) streaming quality and/or offering the mixes available for download? I'm in it for the mixes and I want to love Mixcloud, but there is only so much fun to be had with discovering a mix that cannot be played on a quality stereo and/or in a place without internet connection (so at the party, in other words) and those will in any case go on my priority list if and when Soundcloud finally goes down.

It's not enough to plant trees, you have to trap the carbon they gather somehow. Otherwise when the tree dies, the decomposition process throws all that carbon back in the atmosphere.

The early plants (billions of years ago) went through a few generations before other organisms evolved to feed on their carcasses, so they just ended up buried deep underground, trapping their carbon (and lowering the carbon concentration in the atmosphere) until we came along and decided to dig them up and burn them, throwing all that carbon in the air again.
So is their argument that by including their hostname in easylist, you are circumventing copyright controls because they validate copyrighted material usage? The takedown notice didn't seem to be related to the domain name per se, but rather the effects of including it in easylist. IOW in order to view our client's copyrighted material, we are providing access controls and by denying the code access to our server, you are circumventing those access controls.
Good idea, had the same idea, but we need (the community/users need) to be able to determine what the URLs are, for transparency. So I suggest ROT-13 instead.
Neither Mars travel nor reducing energy consumption is going to happen by the individual people magically choosing to do the right thing required for that goal. In general, our societies don't work like that, achieving such things requires coordination to create/enforce appropriate incentives for each individual.

Going to Mars requires a large organization (or a bunch of them) creating significant incentives for people to work on that goal, i.e., paying $bignum to many employees and suppliers - or it's not going to happen.

In the exact same manner, practically reducing energy consumption would require a large organization (or a bunch of them) creating significant incentives for people to reduce consumption, e.g. governments enforcing a significant carbon tax that raises the cost of electricity so much (or some other policy that brings visible, practical impact on each particular individual depending on their actions) that untold millions of people will be strongly motivated to change their habits - or it's not going happen.
In the US the "justice" system is predominantly accuse first ask questions later, and because legal council is insanely expensive (by design) in most cases all you have to do is accuse someone of something and it will either bankrupt them trying to defend it or they will pay you off to let them go.

It is incredibly broken and corrupt, but like many things in the US nothing will be done about it because the elites have the money to defend themselves and enjoy the benefit of being able to ruin anyone they want who don't have access to similar financial resources that they wield.

If you can afford the several hundred thousands to millions of dollars a protracted legal battle will take you can often get the costs dumped on the losing party. You just have to spend years getting there with your own money and time.

I just discovered a statistical scientific study that says white men have lower IQ than asians and they are predisposed to addiction violence and conquering other countries for spices.

Oh no I sent out this in the internet echo chamber and it would be promptly deleted.

We just wrote something similar, using RabbitMQ (https://github.com/richthegeek/beatrix) as the main manager for things.

Seems like retries and delays are not part of this, but I guess they are added easily enough to the individual queue system used. Any desire to build them into it? Retries should be easy enough if you're happy to modify the bodies, although delays are not so easy (we're using the 'delayed message exchange' plugin for Rabbit to do this currently).

Maybe some built-in/example queue integrations (Rabbit, Redis, etc)?

Also, it's not super clear to me how you might host the SMS/Push/email/whatever provider on a different process/system to the publisher?

But it looks lovely and clean! Major props!
Absolutely. I'm a backend/infrastructure guy and spent a lot of time creating internal tools with web interfaces over the past 3 years. Thanks to Bootstrap, they look decent, modern, took very little time and people were happy to use them. Sure, not the most original designs, but that's light years ahead of crappy interfaces I'd have produced otherwise.

Some engineers like to complain about 'yet another bootstrap template' a lot, and I can understand that it gets a bit dull and boring, but that's much better than the alternatives.
Backend stacks can be simple where most of the complexity ends up in the frontend but a good backend can take the complexity out of the frontend.

Backends are usually written in a more matuure/stable language. That can help make difficult things in javascript really simple.

Frontends are more fun to work with because you can see your output while you work.

Personally, this could be a real problem, if Ad services decide to pry open the doors on our ability to deny them our screen real estate. I block Ads, primarily due to the fact that I don't want my web surfing history and behaviors captured by some uncontrollable mob a ad-servers. Further, most advertisements are akin to the dreaded <flash> tag of old! animated, ugly, and obtrusive.

We are coming to a point in the Internets genesis, where technology should evolve to allow the "information consumer" to directly reward the "information producer"... without the need of an intermediary like Google Adwords, etc. etc.
Well, some fallout. Orion is designed to to use small, single stage atomic bombs even if it does use lots of them to get out of the atmosphere. Those individually produce much, much less fallout than the huge fission-fusion-fission bombs that are mounted on ICBMs. Getting Orion to space would produce less fallout than the Bikini Atoll test. But then again there was a reason the various nuclear powers agreed to stop testing atomic weapons in the open air.

I've always found people who read his book to be more dogmatic than Martin and anything in that book. They usually speak in absolutes, and cite the book when challenged. Then I go point out his blog posts where Martin is more nuanced. I believe his book also has a number of disclaimers as well (I have not read it myself).

Overall, I agree with quite a few of his "principles". Just don't apply them blindly.
Copyright law doesn't care what technology you use to store and distribute material. If you have a blockchain that contains unauthorized copyrighted material, any host participating in that network would be legally subject to DMCA requests by the copyright holder. What would the defense look like in court, anyway? "We can't stop illegally distributing the plaintiff's content because that would break the chain?" In effect it would just be a spectacularly inefficient distributed storage system.
Serious question: what does “hosted” means with a distributed system or repo? Ok, on Github you have the PRs and issues, but in the end it’s just one copy of the repo.
I read that as "Sundar Pichai Resigns as Google’s C.E.O" and was shocked for a second.

I think he made a moral mistake by firing the memo guy, but he has to worry about potential legal ramifications, should an employee sue for "condoning discrimination" or something. Too bad for diversity of opinion, can't have that under threat of lawsuit.
Or the spectacular (billions and billions) amount of real world objects and services traded for those dollars and euros at the margin, every single day, continually acting as feedback for their value.
In a way but I believe it is less direct in other examples. TCP was not built in a way with game theory in mind to give reward to the participants. I believe BTC will thrive because the users and miners are incentivized to strengthen and enforce the system instead of attack it, this was an important and purposeful part of the design.
Blockchain would be great for this.
> That's basically saying "opt out of modern society,"

Hahahaha... oh man... at what point did a photo sharing social media website become "modern society"?

> These companies that spend b/millions on psychological research to condition consumers is not going away anytime soon.

Look, if you're already considering drastic measures like fundamentally altering your diet, your exercise regime, or the very way you perceive the world and interact with people, I think it reasonable to suggest smaller, more achievable changes like opting out of the very things that are making you unhappy.

Simply removing the apps from your phone, which will take you mere seconds, would go a long long way by limiting exposure. Disabling or deleting your account entirely takes only seconds more, if you're willing to take the leap. This isn't like trying to kick a crack habit. You have a choice.

In society we have an endless amount of social warnings, "Don't drink too much, you'll get ill. Don't do drugs, you'll become an addict. Don't drive without your seatbelt, you can die. Don't watch too much TV, it's not good for you."

But we still lack any sort of warning in the greater contemporary society about the risks of overuse of the hyper stimulus that comes along with social media. I am definitely beginning to see this take shape in our society (with people rejecting social media applications, articles like this, the way people speak to the overuse of such platforms)

We tried to address several separate concerns with Coco: scalability, latency, confidentiality and governance. TEEs can be helpful in addressing each one. We are working with ledger partners who want to use Coco to address some but not all of the concerns - for example they want fine-grained confidentiality, but they don't want to rely on the TEE for consensus. In this example Coco can be used with Proof of Work.

In the technical whitepaper, one of the things we discuss is that the "Ledger Model" (data structures, APIs, abstractions and programming model) are owned by the ledger, not by Coco. I think you are right that using TEEs opens up the alternatives to some of the data structures and abstractions in use in the public networks today. We look forward to seeing what people will do with Coco in this regard.
It only works for some sites.
I think that's even more nuts than the media response to the actual incident. Pichai is a product guy who made handled a personnel issue poorly. I think this is still a minor issue and one where he has hopefully learned some lessons and we can move on.
That's most likely a well known issue WITH adblock, not the site.
In theory we can use MAC addresses, but there are problems: 0) Privacy: You don't want all traffic to be labeled with your hardware ID. 1) Flatness: MACs are essentially random, and a router would need a huge table to keep track of who's where. IP (v4/v6) assigns addresses hierarchically, making routing tables manageable.
From what I understand it isn't on all the time. There are actually long periods of time where it doesn't transmit anything.

It could be off again, don't know.

Funny, I just moved https://www.castingcall.club from Stripe to Braintree. I find Stripe to be superior, but the users wanted subscription Paypal payments rather than using credit cards. Having it in one place made sense.

Follow the users.
I think the answer to this is that the processor doesn't speculate past dependent loads, and either the MMU does its access checks before ever issuing a load to the cache hierarchy, or the access check is required to complete before the result of a load is available for further speculative instructions. It's almost certainly the later case, because even though the L1 is virtually indexed (allowing a result to be found and returned), to correctly handle aliasing, the physical tag check must also pass, and address translation has to happen for that.

Which means that basically any instruction dependent on the load has to wait until after the access check passes. No value available means that no further speculation (e.g. using that value to issue further value-dependent loads).
That's the thing that scares me the most about the current administration. They seem to think that the only players in the economy are businesses, especially big ones. Workers don't count, the environment doesn't count, science that doesn't benefit business doesn't count. I think that's the area where they will do the most long term damage.
In the end, convincing women to focus on a career in STEM is saying telling them that their choices for careers in nursing, teaching, and any other career dominated by women are wrong choices. I don't believe that, they are essential to our society and are arguably more important than helping create better ads at Google and Facebook.
