Could we agree that everyone who writes anything about crypto puts at the end of his/her post a disclaimer telling us if he/she is invested in tokens discussed in that post and if yes what is the share in their portfolio.

You know, if I was invested in eg IPFS I would post night and day in all forums subtle not too obvious hints how great IPFS is (pump) and then I would dump them.

Or to be clear, any discussion about crypto might be motivated by financial incentives which makes a meaningful technical discussion quite hard.

Let's start with @jashmenn, are you invested in Ethereum and IPFS?

Edit: downvoters please explain why
Why do you think companies like Google release so many things open source related with AI (papers, models, frameworks)? Because they have the data to train them. In my company 90% of my time is dealing with the dataset, having a good and big dataset is first step to train any algorithm.
To expand on point 3- I think finding a "natural" business model for protocol development is pretty fantastic. HTTP needs work, and we've known it for years. But when we tried to fix it... well, mostly large corporations with skewed incentives are driving the effort, so what you'd expect happens.

Tokens offer a different path to funding important infrastructure.

Right now, tokens clearly aren't doing a great job tracking underlying utility, so I won't make that claim. I do think that will improve as the space matures though.
Here are some specific things that Trump has done that are very similar to Hitler:

1. Created a narrative via dog whistles that white folks are actual victims in this country in the hands of minorities, immigrants, BLM etc. A strong undercurrent of "us" vs. "them" narrative. As a result a significant portion of Republicans believe that white people are more discriminated in this country

2. Undermined free press with constant attacks and going so far and creating his own news network - a clear propaganda approach

3. Allowed the FCC to enable Sinclair broadcasting takeover of local news media, creating a powerful propaganda arm in the form of local news

4. Undermined democracy via nepotism and nominating unqualified family members to important positions

5. Brutally attack critics in an attempt to shut down criticism

I believe growing right-wing sentiment is a partial reaction to a PC culture that doesn't allow for any discussion of certain issues.

Oh, you're against illegal immigrants taking lower class jobs? You're a racist.

You don't like the idea of multiculturalism diluting the culture of an area? You're ignorant.

You don't like outsourcing because it's hurting you and your family? You're a bigot that doesn't think of other people.

You believe biological and psychological differences between the sexes may lead to differences in career preferences? You're fired for creating an "unsafe work environment."

All of this is also amplified by the fact that most people outside of big cities have been experiencing a declining quality of life. If moderate people with nuanced opinions that differ from the left don't have an avenue of discussion, they will tend towards extremism since that is the only way they can express their opinions. Combined with a growing sense of anxiety from the declining quality of life, and you get what is happening now.

Wait, that's awesome. I've been using news feed eradicator but now you're telling me that I can delete my Facebook account and still have a messenger account?

Does that messenger account work for "sign in with facebook" buttons? For example, the only way to authenticate with Tinder is a Facebook account.
When I saw Daily Stormer had relocated to a .ru address, I noticed that the first thing displayed upon opening the site was a full screen notice that Cloudflare was checking my browser.

I understand Cloudflare generaly trying to be a neutral provider, but if the first thing people will see when gawking at a Neo-Nazi hate site is your logo in the center of the screen, it's not a big surprise that Cloudflare decided keeping them would be bad for their PR.
For a while, a membership card number would have sufficed, but since no one carries that around, the retailers are assigning your phone number to your identity. Much like social security numbers did for the government back in its inception.

3 Creative Techniques for Writing Modular Code
"Corporations are people." And it behooves them to be politically correct at all times.
There was a thread yesterday about the registrars dropping them, and this was the big question my mind, too.

To any lawyers and/or law-aware people who know the answer as it relates to Cloudflare, I'd also be interested to learn about how/if it applies to registrars.
For starters, he has singled out a religious minority for persecution (Muslims instead of Jews this time), endorsed the use of violence to silence political opponents and protesters, and encouraged law enforcement to use violence against suspects.

Oh, he also failed to do anything about it when a foreign government (Turkey) used violence against protestors on American soil. Hitler never had the opportunity to do that, but he surely would have approved.
Looks like this site may go into some more detail of how the specific packages interact to create a "standard" Linux distribution more than the LFS series does; but I'm not sure how much has changed regarding that in recent times... Even the faded BLFS book I was gifted in 6th grade seems to be more focused on just getting the packages built and installed into the LFS root than going in depth about their internals/function. Even though tools like buildroot/OE/Yocto offer much better tools to make a Linux from scratch, I think both of these offer a great way to quickly gain at least some insight into Linux + userspace
Nazis were not socialists, that was optics. The Nazi party actually got into power in a reaction to an attack that was blamed on communists (burning of the reichstag). Whether it was actually communists, or a false flag by the Nazis to seize power is an ongoing debate without enough evidence either way. What is a matter of record is that the very first thing the Nazis did after seizing power was to round up all the communists, and communist sympathizers (or political rivals they could accuse of being communist sympathizers) and arrest them.
Well, although that is obvious, I did learn something new: that on Linux, you can prevent linking, unlinking and renaming using chattr.

He isn't head of anything. He's a first level product manager that gave himself the title "Head of Developer Product". Recode wrote this last night and TechCrunch just cut and paste it. This is how fake news gets propagated.
Why is Matthew Sheffield asserting this so strongly? Did Cloudflare make a public statement indicating they deliberately stepped in to drop the site? I can't find one. The content of the tweet merely makes it seem like the guy's plan simply expired and he failed to renew it.

If Cloudflare were actually interested in avoiding alt-right dumpster fires, then I think they would also stop protecting sites like 4chan and 8ch.
Of course not. Choosing whether to retain or terminate a customer does not qualify as moderating content.

The case you're citing was a very different situation. Postings on the LiveJournal community in question, including the ones containing the infringing content, were being actively approved by LiveJournal employees and volunteers. This situation wouldn't have applied to most LiveJournal communities -- ONTD is a special case, as it's sponsored directly by LJ -- and certainly cannot apply to a web host or ISP.
No, you can't use the Messenger account for authentication. At least for Tinder I can confirm it doesn't work, maybe there's an OAuth provider for Messenger that no one uses, idk

Chris Sacca on Uber, Retirement, TV .... (2017)

http://fortune.com/2017/05/03/chris-sacca-retirement-uber/

On Uber CEO Travis Kalanick: Sacca, who is an early Uber investor, said he recently reconnected with CEO Travis Kalanick after years of not speaking. He believes Kalanick "materially changing right now for the better." He told a story of reconciliation: "Travis is in a very vulnerable and introspective state right now in a way I've never seen him. For the good. For the first time, maybe ever, he is acknowledging the places where he needs help and starting to take responsibility for his broader role in the consequences of the company and the culture, and that's great. … I think that company is redeemable and that culture is fixable and I think Travis is waking up to why."

I'm not entirely sure what the technical reason for this change was. Of course, cleaning up your DBs and whatnot is a good thing. But why did they move it to Postgres instead of simply clean?
Asking businesses to rewrite apps in a different language is a non-starter. It adds no value. The app is already there, written in c#. Why rewrite it in f#?

There has to be some reason to write something in F#, usually the reason is functional programming, which excels in manipulating data. However most programs rarely manipulate data. They show a UI, get some input from a user or server, save, retrieve, re-display in a different form. These kinds of programs work very well when written in imperative languages compared to functional ones.
How do you configure that? A pod doesn't know what machine it's running on ahead of time. You can create nodepools and use node selectors to pin the pod to that nodepool, but I'm not sure I love the idea.
At SAP, we're using Helm [1] to deploy OpenStack (plus a bunch of extra services like a custom Rails-based dashboard [2]) on baremetal Kubernetes. For image building, testing and deployment, we use Concourse CI [3], and OpenStack assets (like service users, service projects and roles) are deployed with a custom Kubernetes operator [4].

Our charts are at [5] if you want to take a look.

[1] https://github.com/kubernetes/helm

[2] https://github.com/sapcc/elektra

Not that myopic; gender in tech is front page news in the mainstream press. Not so much about any other industry.
There are only ~20 buildings of 100+ stories in the world. The tallest building in the Bay Area is the Salesforce Tower at 61 stories, and there are only ~50 buildings in SF that hit 400 feet, which is about 1/3 the height required to hit 100 stories. *All stats from wikipedia

So in theory they would solve the issue, it's just that your solution dwarfs the number of humanity's 100 story buildings by a factor of almost 50.

FWIW,

I think Aaronson's dismissive attitude is unbecoming and disrespectful amongst colleagues.

'Unrelated Update: To everyone who keeps asking me about the “new” P≠NP proof: I’d again bet $200,000 that the paper won’t stand, except that the last time I tried that, it didn’t achieve its purpose, which was to get people to stop asking me about it. So: please stop asking, and if the thing hasn’t been refuted by the end of the week, you can come back and tell me I was a closed-minded fool.'

Quick-copy pasting a Facebook comment as reason not to want to deal with it, betting a large sum of money almost tauntingly is not good scholarship.

A serious researcher made a serious effort to solve a problem. Say you have not verified it and don't want to comment.

It almost seems like he does not want P/NP to be proven because he has made a reputation by becoming an authority on dismissing attempts.

I'm here to fix some ignorance, since the source of the "you are the product" idea is not these books.

Metafilter user blue_beetle first put this idea online when he said "If you are not paying for it, you're not the customer; you're the product being sold" in response to the Digg revolt of 2010. The idea apparently existed for a few decades prior regarding TV advertising. I prefer to think blue_beetle was the one who brought it into the zeitgeist.

I have no opinion and should not have one as I am not a doctor but I did a quick search on Pubmed, and what I read seems to tell that the story might be more complex that the article suggests. Some Pubmed articles titles:

Liyu Qian, Bo Xie, Yaguo Wang, Jun Qian
(contains this sentence "These results strongly suggested that amygdalin was likely to have anti-metastatic NSCLC effect")

- Amygdalin Influences Bladder Cancer Cell Adhesion and Invasion In Vitro
Jasmina Makarević, Jochen Rutz, Eva Juengel, Silke Kaulfuss, Igor Tsaur, Karen Nelson, Jesco Pfitzenmaier, Axel Haferkamp, and Roman A. Blaheta
(contains "Since the different actions of amygdalin on the different cell lines was mirrored by β1 or β4 knock down, it is postulated that amygdalin influences adhesion and migratory properties of bladder cancer cells by modulating β1 or β4 integrin expression."

- Amygdalin Blocks Bladder Cancer Cell Growth In Vitro by Diminishing Cyclin A and cdk2

The article says that diamond (the material used for simulation) is a nondispersive medium.

Diamond is an optically dispersive material, with a dispersion constant of about 0.044 [1]. Does the article use dispersion to mean something different from optical dispersion? Or maybe they meant to say nondissipative (no energy loss during photon propagation)?

The real privilege that derives from this is being able to live without being bombarded with advertising.

To not be bucketed into a predefined economic segment based on your life experiences.

Not only that, but because of the limitations of AMP, many AMP sites are getting slower and slower as they attempt workarounds. I've seen many sites recently that do section headers as a large image-as-text, I'd guess because they want to use a custom font? Even worse is AMP won't load images until you've scrolled them into view.
On my virtual Debian, the development version of a relatively complex website -- which is probably anywhere between 5 to 30 times slower than production -- has 450ms for the first ever request after the server starts. Anything from then on goes between 0.2 to 12ms.

Not really telling you much, I know, but these are pretty standard numbers for Elixir + Phoenix apps.
For those wondering, it's draw.io wrapped in an electron app.

The Sia network has been happily doing micropayments (covering 4mb of storage at a time) for over a year. At times, the total number of micropayments on the network has been estimated to eclipse 100 transactions per second (all off-chain via payment channels).

That's about what I planned for, except I gave up and moved back to Ohio after a year in the bay area. (I was already married before moving out; my wife's wishes were part of the reason for moving back earlier than planned.)

But I managed to keep a low/mid-range SF salary and work remote from Ohio. So, while I'm not a director or VP yet, I do have a house that will be completely paid for in about 8-10 years total, and I should be financially independent by age 45-50.

Specific to your point, in a hiring system modelled like ours:

* Employees assessing a particular hire can operate blind (or near-blind in the case of interviews).

* Hiring managers can have access to identifying information (but by default just see aggregated scoring data).

* D&I managers can see aggregated demographic stats.

* Candidates see their own data & scoring info

This is idiocy. Modern drives AES encrypt data to provide whitening. You do not have the key nor do you set it or care for it. Without it you'll not be able to pull this off. Their attack will only work on very old SSDs that do not whiten data. All modern MLC/TLC chips REQUIRE whitening and AES is often used since it whitens well and is fast.
As much as I give blue-beetle credit for having one of the earliest print references for that exact turn of phrase, I had definitely heard it before then. I don't think he really brought it into the zeitgeist, but then again I haven't talked to the entire zeitgeist about it yet.
I feel like people who complain about this are people who wouldn't be satisfied with anything unless they rolled it themselves. Of course, you could purchase your own server, use OpenVPN, etc. But anything that you haven't touched yourself is just one more thing that's potentially malicious.
