It should be noted that the entirety of the material leaked by Assange would be consistent with "Russian agent" theory (including variations along the lines of him not being directly in service, but getting backing because of being useful, even if he has his own reasons).

It might not be very obvious from inside US, but the whole mess with Iraq and Afghan wars, and especially everything that Wikileaks exposed about them, is one of the biggest providers of source material for Russian "whataboutism" (see also: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/And_you_are_lynching_negroes). In early 00s, it was mainly useful to justify the way Russia handled Chechnya. But from 2008 on, it became more and more important - South Ossetia, Crimea, Donbass, Syria.

With that in mind, leaks about any American administration serve those goals. Bush was certainly fair game. As do any leaks that concern any Western countries, their allies, and affiliated countries. Which happens to be exactly what Wikileaks has been focusing on.

Now, this doesn't mean that those leaks don't have any further value, in particular, to citizens of the affected countries. This part of it is where you generally see a lot of partisanship when judging said value.
Damore said higher proportion of men in engineering positions wasn't because of explicit discrimination. And we know Google fired him afterwards stating he was wrong. But All 25 Finalists In Its Code Jam Coding Competition are Men.

In fact, With the exception of 2011, in 14 years of Code Jam, no Female has ever made it to the finals. Google's own non-discriminatory machine tool that evaluates codes, which doesn't take into account one's age, gender, nationality or skin color into account, has shed some light on some embarrassing outcomes.
You are right, I'm sure. Just a cheeky response to a cheeky response. (Though, with the hopeful side-effect of luring more learned answers, like yours :))
Bear in mind that Goldman Sachs is now about making Goldman Sachs money. For well over a century, they were about making rich people richer and taking a cut. That's no longer the case, and their advice to their clients is no longer particularly good. It's now just usual sell-side broker "analysis". Read "Why I am Leaving Goldman Sachs."[1]

A friend who was a Goldman Sachs client noticed this when, around 2011, they started suggesting dumb deals. He pulled all his money out of there.

One atypical thing is having chargers available for street parking. One can only hope it becomes more popular.
It wasn't long ago that crypto prices on Bitfinex were quite a lot higher than other exchanges because you couldn't withdraw national currencies [0].

Are their banking issues all resolved now?

Also, if you're domiciled in the US, Bitfinex won't even do business with you [1].

For US customers who what to be legal, Gemini seems pretty solid and verifies new accounts quickly, though they only support Bitcoin and Ethereum [2].

Yea. Or coffee shops / bakeries giving old perishables to the poor. There's an average of 40% food waste in the US.

I like having darkroom mode. Don't think macos/nightshift has that yet.
Couldn't it use a camera pointed towards the ground and track objects on the ground to measure absolute movement in space? Like Parrot's drones do. Probably DJI drones as well, since they have ground-facing camera(s).

Anybody with an anti-ship miss that they can launch from shore. Gary Brecher/War Nerd wrote an article, that I can't find at the moment, about how vulnerable the US Navy is to attack by shore-based missles where the Navy doesn't have a good stand-off distance.
... there are chargers for on-street parking, they just aren't common. For example, they can be built into light poles.
Hm..reading this makes me wonder ... I noticed that life is running extremely fast lately and I am having a hard time being "in the moment" ... and I drink a lot of coffee. I really enjoy everything about coffee from roasting to brewing though, so it would probably be quite hard giving it up. Anyway, thanks for sharing this, I will take a long look at that.

The other piece of irony is that leading up to election night "our voting systems are secure", "we have taken steps to ensure your vote is not tampered", etc., etc. since Hillary was predicted and landslide, no one bothered to care.

Only if you weren't paying attention! There was plenty of noise around about the attacks at the time, if you looked for the signs.

In August 2016 The Federal Government made some moves to designate the election machines and systems as critical infrastructure so they could protect them[1]. Predictably, this was opposed[2].

After the election, Obama did it anyway[3]. As it turns out many states had asked for assistance securing their systems[4].

I drink a ton of tea (up to 4 litre a day, no milk or sugar; usually black, sometimes green), but nevertheless when I go a day without, or drink much less of it, I suffer no real side effects and can function adequately. I'm still not sure whether this is healthy for me, though.

My apartment complex has chargers available, because there are a lot of electric cars in the local area. New apartment complexes are required to install chargers. It's not rocket science.

Appreciate you trying to share some insight. But from the hype, I was expecting some kind of world changing revelation. But basically you're just explaining the basics of bayesian statistics?

A lot of people already know this stuff. It's part of an intro course in probability/stats that you'd take while doing a CS degree, or a course about experiments for other science degrees.
> They were that flexible because you'd compile ONE program ONCE for (any ported) platform and that was that.

If it was ever so simple, specially given UB and compiler specific semantics across all those compilers and operating systems on the 90's (before C was hardly relevant outside UNIX).
I hate this, right now, you can’t do anything out of free will.

The fiber optic strand isn't suspended in air, so you need the cladding for total internal reflection. Fiber optic strands are coated (protection and color indentification), bundled and installed inside cables with various fillings and strength elements.
I don't get why people are so trustful of Assagne's assurances the source wasn't Russian. Unless he hacked it himself or was looking over the shoulder of the guy who hacked it, he simply cannot know who the ultimate source of the material is. The person he got it from may very well not have been Russian. But who did that person get it from? It's no different than a Tor exit node delivering information it receives: it simply isn't in a position to know the true origin.

Hi everyone.

I am Miko from Evercoin and I'm happy to answer your questions.

The People Behind EverCoin

I'm happy to see people on this board looking at our service with suspicion, this is normal and the community needs to protect itself from scammers. We do show our own faces and linkedin profiles on the front page of our exchange. Yes, it is possible that people are just using the identities of others. We are obviously not so prominent or famous but I do have a number of fairly prominent people in crypto who could vouch for us or who have met us including general partners at Pantera Capital, Jackson Palmer, originator of Dogecoin, Robert CEO of ZenCash, Zooko from Zcash and many others. I know these aren't necessarily the gods of crypto like Vitalik Buterin, but I havent met him so he can't say if I'm a real person or not. I am one of the organizers of the SF Advanced Crypto Asset Trading group and Crypto Underground meetup, so 3500 people in that community know who I am at some level. Anyhow, I welcome the suspicion, I hate scammers as much as anyone and feel like everyone who asks you to "send bitcoin to this address" deserves to be checked out. I've been in Silicon Valley for 25 years working in tech.

How to start
As with any crypto service, start small. Just try a very small transaction to see how the system behaves. It's a fully functional system, so you'll immediately get the feeling of that. And yes, do your homework.
I think you're exactly right, it's a form of stress management primarily. What bothers me is when meditators act like they've seen the matrix. Like they go on a Vipassana retreat and then talk about how changed they are and do a 180 with their career or something else major in their life. It feels about equivalent to the 'enduring truths' you might receive on an acid trip.
That's what being on an SSRI has felt like to me: it seems to dull neurotic 'loops' in my head. It doesn't make them go away entirely but, maybe, (it's hard to explain) it seems like the loop doesn't bother the rest of my brain as much.
You are confusing taking responsibility with taking blame and identifying oneself with the problem
Your current job problem is an interface problem. If you could arrive at work and plug in, with a guarantee that you'd get X charge by the end of the workday, that'd give you the confidence that you're lacking with most of today's charging systems. It's not hard to imagine how to do that: a smart system with reservations is not rocket science. Even better: if you have a big battery and don't need to charge every day, your car can help smooth variations in wind and solar power.

If you want to protect yourself against both a job change and a home change, well, sure, a new job and a new apartment might not offer charging.

Additionally the claims they make about timezones are also only based on the difference of timestamps. Eg they see that the difference between 7z (Unix timestamps thus UTC) and RAR3 (MS-DOS localtime) is three hours. The way they then conclude it's Eastern time is very flimsy.

In fact that that alle files, even those in rar-files were all modified on the same time, convinces me more that the timestamps have nothing to do with the transmission. But that someone altered them after the hack, or that but more unlikely is that all the timestamps are still untouched and exactly on how they were on the DNC server
Some places already have on-street chargers, and who knows what the future will bring? My apartment complex has a shared charger in the garage, and new construction in my city is required to have that.
You're correct about total internal reflection. The light in the core must move more slowly than in the cladding. The majority of the light remains in the core though some travels in the cladding as well. A higher index of refraction means lower speed of light so you would expect to see the core have a higher IoR than the cladding.

Let me remind you that who brought up the concept of "acceptable punching targets" to modern politics was antifa, and that staging a counter-protest in the exact same venue and time as a rally / protest is OBVIOUSLY going to cause trouble.

White supremacists are disgusting.

Other race supremacists are disgusting.

Anarchists are disgusting.

Communists are disgusting.

People calling for dead cops are disgusting.

People looting and committing arson during protests are disgusting.

There's a lot of disgusting people out there, and I'm beyond tired of people trying to escalate things even further. If all this political tension in the US escalates to full-blown civil war, it will be to no credit of a single group, but the many who keep getting excused by mainstream politicians, political commentators and journalists.

The fun fact is that most of this could probably have been widely defused by allowing people to speak up in public, and then providing better counter-speech, but I guess that was hurting way too many feelings.
Did you write the GC from scratch? How does it integrate with llvm?
I'll name one: Monero. It's not a fork of Bitcoin. It's based on CryptoNote. Unlike Bitcoin which is public and traceable, Monero's address balances are private and the transactions are not traceable. It is fairly mined (no premine or instamine).

There's a lot of interesting tech/code behind it. Check out the Monero subreddit and/or start here: https://www.monero.how/

I learned about Monero when someone else mentioned it in a comment here on HN earlier this year. After doing my own research, I believe Monero was and still remains the best solution available to fulfill the requirements of a decentralized digital currency.
Were these rates very different before women worked, or before they voted? I have a feeling men have always made up a significant portion of the prison population.

This isn't a zero-sum game. Helping women get placement in the workplace doesn't mean men won't get jobs. And, it certainly doesn't mean that we will stop supporting young men stay out of prison.

The idea is that as we become a more inclusive society we can all have more freedom to do what we want to do.
I don't get why having multiple optimal paths would falsify my algorithm. Can you provide an explicit counter-example?

Here is why I think the algorithm is correct:

At each step the edge that we are considering is either contained in all the optimal solutions or only some of them. If the edge is contained in all the solutions, increasing its weight to infinity would change the optimal solution and we pick that edge in our solution. Otherwise (if the edge is contained in only some of the solutions) increasing the weight would not change the solution because there is another optimal solution that does not contain that edge so we do not pick that edge.

So we can prove this theorem: At every step of the algorithm if an edge is picked, it is contained in all the optimal solutions.

So the algorithm does not pick any extra edges. Now we have to prove that it includes all the necessary edges. But that is easy because each time that we choose not to including an edge, we are sure that there is an optimal solution in the remaining graph so we are never left with a graph with no optimal solution.

I think you assumed that I meant we change the edge weights
from infinity back to their original value at each step but that is not what I meant.
My naive first reaction would be: because something up the stack is Linux-specific (or X-, or Y-specific).

Token Model and Resource Usage

PLEASE NOTE: CRYPTOGRAPHIC TOKENS REFERRED TO IN THIS WHITE PAPER REFER TO CRYPTOGRAPHIC TOKENS ON A LAUNCHED BLOCKCHAIN THAT ADOPTS THE EOS.IO SOFTWARE. THEY DO NOT REFER TO THE ERC-20 COMPATIBLE TOKENS BEING DISTRIBUTED ON THE ETHEREUM BLOCKCHAIN IN CONNECTION WITH THE EOS TOKEN DISTRIBUTION.

All blockchains are resource constrained and require a system to prevent abuse. With a blockchain that uses EOS.IO software, there are three broad classes of resources that are consumed by applications:

Bandwidth and Log Storage (Disk);
Computation and Computational Backlog (CPU); and
State Storage (RAM).
Bandwidth and computation have two components, instantaneous usage and long-term usage. A blockchain maintains a log of all messages and this log is ultimately stored and downloaded by all full nodes. With the log of messages it is possible to reconstruct the state of all applications.

The computational debt is calculations that must be performed to regenerate state from the message log. If the computational debt grows too large then it becomes necessary to take snapshots of the blockchain's state and discard the blockchain's history. If computational debt grows too quickly then it may take 6 months to replay 1 year worth of transactions. It is critical, therefore, that the computational debt be carefully managed.

Blockchain state storage is information that is accessible from application logic. It includes information such as order books and account balances. If the state is never read by the application then it should not be stored. For example, blog post content and comments are not read by application logic so they should not be stored in the blockchain's state. Meanwhile the existence of a post/comment, the number of votes, and other properties do get stored as part of the blockchain's state.

Block producers publish their available capacity for bandwidth, computation, and state. The EOS.IO software allows each account to consume a percentage of the available capacity proportional to the amount of tokens held in a 3-day staking contract. For example, if a blockchain based on the EOS.IO software is launched and if an account holds 1% of the total tokens distributable pursuant to that blockchain, then that account has the potential to utilize 1% of the state storage capacity.

Adopting the EOS.IO software on a launched blockchain means bandwidth and computational capacity are allocated on a fractional reserve basis because they are transient (unused capacity cannot be saved for future use). The algorithm used by EOS.IO software is similar to the algorithm used by Steem to rate-limit bandwidth usage.
With most reasonable VPN technologies (IPsec, OpenVPN) there is nothing that would slow down throughput other than CPU processing. And 180 Mbps is not close to VPN CPU bottleneck speeds.

I don't know much about bitcoin, but I do know that the original people who took over from Satoshi (Gavin Andresen, Mike Hearn) were ousted in rather ugly and public ways a couple of years ago. As far as Roger Ver is concerned, I believe he is also one of the earliest people in the space.

EDIT: Come to think of it, the people currently leading bitcoin development originally told Satoshi (on the crypto mailing list) that bitcoin would never work (Greg Maxwell and Adam Back both).
I enjoy coffee too, but I've noticed that with the pods machines like Nespresso I tend to drink more of it and I wonder if it's not the same for the author (I had a french press before and I had to clean and prepare the coffee which was 5-10 minutes per day, vs 1 minute now). My new coffee machine created an addiction without I've noticed it.
The bright side is that according to recent studies coffee can prevent liver cancer. (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25291138)
Aren't there a number of pharmaceutical drugs that are exactly "it should be similar"?

The benzodiazepines spring to mind, as do many of the SSRI drugs. Amphetamine is chemically rated to that from which it is derived: ephedrine.
...you could consider renting a combustor in case of long distance trips. Furthermore, it'll reduce your vehicle's abrasion and even save you money by doing so: driving a combustor costs ~$0.50/mile (http://exchange.aaa.com/automotive/driving-costs/#.WZKZDt9Nz...).

Let's consider a trip of 300 miles.
It'll cost you about $150 with your own combustor.
Renting a car costs about $50/day (or cheaper, depending on which car to go for).
Gas consumption will add another ~$35 which leaves you with a total of $85/300 miles.

Just curious: how often do you exceed the 100 miles range?
