> This is "nothing more" than the free market at work.

Exactly! And by their very nature, free-markets are susceptible to races-to-the-bottom. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Race_to_the_bottom

So, yes, here they are at work doing one of the examples of free-market behavior that work against the public interest.

Here's another variant of my comment above: If all the workers refused to work in abusive conditions for low pay, the companies would still need to hire workers. And you could reply "Why would workers refuse that? Accepting abuse and low pay is a pretty obvious means to convince a company to hire you over others — the free market at work."

Are you one of those people who blindly thinks that the algorithm of "free market" necessarily (tautologically) results in the best situation for everyone?

The entire concept of a corporation exists within a government framework, not a completely free market. They are a complex organization of people making decisions as a unit. So too can states do the same or even work together and decide collectively not to make decisions that worsen the state-vs-corporation power structure…
> "Each settlement coin would represent fiat currency like euros and dollars on a one-to-one basis, and would thus be 100% backed by collateral at the domestic central bank, according to UBS. The idea is that exchanging the digital currency as payment for assets will be a more efficient means of exchange. Because the digital coins will be backed by cash at a central bank, which cannot default (they can always print money if they have to), the crypto tokens are free from credit risk. UBS says transfers and ownership could be settled instantly—the promise of blockchain technology."

Can someone explain how this could work? Suppose on day-1, UBS has US$100M, and wants to transfer that over to HSBC. I'm guessing they are going to:

1. Create a brand new set of crypto-tokens representing US$100M

2. Send the crypto-token over to HSBC electronically

3. HSBC can then pass the crypto-tokens onto whoever they have dealings with

4. Eventually, someone is left holding the crypto-token and wants to redeem it for actual USD

5. That person/entity would then go to UBS, hand over the crypto-token in exchange for USD, with the trust that UBS will honor that request?

How is this any different from a bank issuing a IOU? Without voters/governments deciding to back UBS idea, how is the nation's central bank going to figure into this scheme?

The pricing model should be based on customers. Time spent thinking about it before building something and setting it in front of actual human beings and getting feedback and responding to that feedback with further design and implementation looks like productive work. It is not. It is just easier than building and showing and soliciting feedback and acting on that feedback until there is something people care about enough to pay.

It is also easier to build a payment system than something people are willing to pay for. Having to decide how to accept payment is a good problem have, but usually not the first one.

Good luck.

I bought their device after I saw it at DEFCON and there is some good value addition in there with custom sniffer programs, channel hoppers etc. You could set some of it up yourself but I think getting it to work stably will be an issue. They've tied everything in pretty well.

Personally - it rids me of the pain of having to install Vmware, Kali and and have na external Wi-Fi card. I manage Wi-Fi deployments and this is easy to use with Wireshark.

I remember them mentioning at their DEFCON booth that a 11ac version (5GHz) is launching sometime soon. Waiting for it!
Those aren't "claims", those are based on the historical record of the floodplain here. And those floods are a reflection of huge weather events not poor planning on the city's part.

And that site is only talking about the typical spot flooding that Houston is prone to which causes (again) a slightly inflated risk pool.

You're way overstating your case here.
I wonder how this will interact with accounting standards. Ledgers have historically been immutable. If I buy something from you and then demand deletion of my data, do you need to revise all previous financial statements to make it appear as if the transaction never occurred?

If you're the CIA/NSA don't you want to use this kind of low level stuff most of the time because it blends in with the background malware?

Seems like a positive advantage?
There's a little more to the story than that. The suspect was in an apartment building surrounded by police, armed and dangerous. He lived in the building but wasn't in his apartment. The police were in the process of searching other apartments when they used the Stingray to locate him.

The argument made by the suspect is that the police should have obtained a warrant first because they had enough time to. There seems to be some merit to this (they had enough time to obtain search warrants for specific apartments) but that's something of a different question.

The story is discussed in detail in the order starting around page 20 here: https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/3962321-Gov-Uscourts...

> Also no shafts are needed. Power can be varied instantly

You need to be able to decouple from the motor/engine for safety. Gearboxes provide this ability. One cannot autorotate if a motor has seized and locked the rotor in position, or has been damaged and pegs to full RPM. Also gearboxes can vary torque and RPM without having to adjust the engine/motor RPM/Power.

Also, varying power instantly isn't necessarily a desirable trait in a full-scale aircraft. You have rotors/propellers traveling close to, or exceeding the speed of sound. Instant acceleration would put a lot of forces never before seen on these components.

Usually in aircraft, the RPM of the rotor/propeller remains fairly constant, or within a small bounds. Typically you increase power to the engine/motor, and the gearbox keeps the rotor/propeller RPM's constant.

> unreliable gearbox

They're a lot more reliable than you seem willing to give credit for. Even in your run-of-the-mill car, the gearbox usually fails well after many other major components, especially with regular maintenance (where it may never fail over the lifetime of the vehicle). Aircraft are subject to very stringent maintenance and inspection schedules.

The tricky part is the zero relative pronoun in your construction that could be confused for a highly irregular-verb-like use of like. You wouldn't say either of "he like(s) (a) banana" in standard english, unless taking Influence from creole perhaps. Another source of confusion to me is the difference of uncountability, generic nouns etc. The whole thing would work without the interjection in "fruit fly bananas" or vice versa, from "banana-like fruit fly".
1. That technology was probably given to them by aliens /s

You're getting concepts mixed up. These aren't exploits. You can't breach a target with them. They're post-exploit persistence tools. A persistence tool has just three jobs:

1. Enable the mission.

2. Avoid discovery.

3. Frustrate attribution.

These tools are amateurish. By modern standards, all they accomplish is (1). But rootkit.tar.Z for SunOS 4.1.3 did that too.

Presumably, if the CIA is implanting backdoors, they're doing it in high-stakes situations: the kind where it's important they not be identified, and the kind where it's important that identification of a single compromised machine not instantaneously provide a signature that can be used to identify every other compromised host in their inventory. But, nope.

One obvious possible subtextual revelation from the CIA tool kit that we've seen is that they're not doing high-stakes implantation work at all, and this stuff is all aspirational.
There is good indication this reduces income disparity, create more opportunities for entrepreneurship (you can quit your job or go part-time while you do your thing) and, in general, more people consume more. The incentive to work more is there: with a sensible basic income you and your family won't starve and you won't need to work yourself to death, but you may want to have a nice vacation from time to time. With better economic security your freedom to move to better paying markets is increased.

The only reason not to back an idea like this is how much the top earners will be able to evade paying their part, overburdening those who can't dodge taxes as efficiently.

verifying the control and transfer of funds is a huge expensive process with investment banking. There are entire companies that specialize in this type of thing.. for example, the one (and only) fintech application I've ever built was a MBS trading system. This is over 20 years ago, but the one component of that process that seemed to be immune from disruption was the trade-clearing process.. this was handled by BONY (Bank of NY.. according to the traders, one of only a few companies that could handle it). I don't know exactly what they did, but they took a 'tick' 1/32 or two off the top of the trade to manage the (up to) 3 day 'settlement' process which, presumably, involved authorizing, possibly insuring, the trade among the counter-parties, and ultimately transferred the funds to whoever involved. Now, I may be off-base on this (I'm sure someone will let me know here), but it seems like that's a pretty good use-case for a blockchain-like system. I think paxos.com is doing something around this too.

The DOS possibilities are endless and the MD5 + layered approach already has chinks in the armor. Come on. You filter every participant through some ddos filter provider you don't own, filter good content from bad based on some persistent hash database state and take a look at the content you are introducing in some heuristic (probably comparative) profile.

Speaking of monopoly in general may be out of scope of this post. But If Google can attain Monopoy wouldnt it do more good. Alphabet can be making 10x more revenue if they start charging for all the service they provie, but they seem to be happy with making reasonable profit which in their case ended up being huge. The leadership of the organization which attains monopoly is key here.
Now to a tangent on a tangent.

The advantages of the Scandinavian social-welfare systems are well-known. What are some (unrelated to the problem of funding welfare) economic problems faced by Norway? You just cited an interesting one.

I remember a story about milk import restrictions, but I could be very mistaken. But anyway, between the effects of oil exports on exchange rates (alternatively, the problems of exchange rate controls), the relatively small domestic market, the limits on land occupation further North, etc. -- the economy of Norway must be fascinating.
I think it's about gaining a different view of one's craft, a new way of looking at existing problems in a way that potentially provides an advantageous approach. And even if it never pans out professionally, well then, hopefully it's been a fun detour into a new way of thinking.

Electric Cloud Named a Leader in Continuous Delivery Release Automation
Strange, are you in the states? There is a huge push right now for breast feeding in most USA hospitals.

Doctors are pattern matchers, your newborn symptoms could have been in their experience the baby not getting enough milk. If it wasn't the pediatrician, well, they are your best source for the baby's health, everyone else isn't qualified (including nurses, midwives, etc...).

Also, it takes a while for the milk to come in after the baby is born, it is an incredibly tricky process of getting the baby fed where nature doesn't do us many favors. The baby probably was hungry, the milk probably came in later than they wanted, but all is still ok. Finally, you know what goes into baby with formula, with breast milk it is much harder to tell, making the job of determining if the baby is getting enough much more difficult.

Breast feeding has benefits sure, but they aren't so much that it is worth starving the baby. It is a serious tightrope to walk, especially in the first few weeks before production comes in completely (if it does at all, many women have problems).

> The core of Functional Programming is thinking about data-flow rather than control-flow

I've spent a small amount of time trying to convince people that FP is a byproduct of immutability and not much else. But I like this description better than that. I like that it captures the idea of dependencies. Data flow, and FP, are about explicitly passing all the required dependencies into any step in the process, and getting back all the results - as opposed to having any implicit inputs or output. Making all dependencies explicit will force you into writing immutable code, and likewise writing exclusively with immutable data and functions that dont have side-effects will automatically make you spit out code with explicit dependencies as a byproduct. These are two sides of the data-flow coin.

I also like that the focus on data-flow makes it clear you can do FP in any language. Some languages definitely help you, but you absolutely can practice data-flow over control-flow in C and assembly almost as easily as python. It's just tempting not to when you don't have to, being more strict about FP takes more self control.
My wife (who teaches at a university, not to be named here) once had flesh-eating beetles FedEx'ed to her lab in order to clean skeletons for student use. Unfortunately the box had a hole punched in it sometime during transport, and the FedEx guy literally ran into her office, threw the box, with beetles coming out of it, on her desk and ran back out.

We're not talking about parenthood in the abstract, but rather traditional gender roles. I.e. where it's the woman that gestates and breastfeeds the baby, and then stays at home and takes care of it. Women have been aggressively trying to escape that gender role ever since we made it possible for them to do so. The vast majority of mothers work, women have far fewer kids than before, etc. Men, meanwhile, have not rushed to take on those supposedly wonderful and fulfilling duties.[1]

We can conclude from these observations that the traditional female gender role isn't all that great, and that there is a lot of value in technology (for now, formula, but soon, artificial wombs) that reduce the need for anyone to do that work.

[1] There is an increased push for paternity leave because dads want to spend more time with their newborns, which is different from wanting to embrace traditional female duties. And a huge part of that push is to set the stage for women to escape their traditional gender role. Dad being more involved from the beginning means that, in the long term, it will be easier for dad and mom to share child-rearing duties. It's harder to do that when, e.g. the child reflexively runs to mom any time it needs something.

> Correct me if I'm wrong [...]

I agree, this is not trivial, but as you point out, since only the bytecode is stored in the blockchain, examining it must be only way to know what a contract does.

> In addition, in the source code [...]

Yes, the programmer could implement backdoors, no matter what the language is. As such, the end user should not rely on specific properties of a language to make guarantees as to whether or not it the contract does what they expect. It can help, but it's not foolproof.

My point is that if you invest in a smart contract, it is unreasonable rely on outside entities -- either the person who created the contract or the contract language itself --- to ensure that it will work as expected. As hard as it may be to do, if you can't reasonably understand what's going to happen when you enter into a contract, you shouldn't.
Also, teach your babies a subset of ASL, for words like "more", "eat", "drink", "milk", "water", "done", "diaper change", and "sleep". They can form word associations before they are able to speak intelligibly, and it really helps the parent figure out why TF the kid is crying.
