I think that's an overly ideological take on tokens. There's nothing inherent to tokens that prevents their purchase from being an investment. They can provide a programmatic share of revenues which, if the contract providing that share has been formally verified to be impossible to hack, is even more guaranteed than a legal share provided by contract law.

Moreover, the applications developed as a result of token funding can generate economic activity and increase efficiency. And it's not out of the question that traditional companies will issue security-tokens that provide a legal claim (or perhaps a claim that while not contractually guaranteed, is guaranteed by collateral put up by the firm, and which is held by a larger trusted third party that acts as an adjucator) on the company's underlying assets and revenues, especially in countries that are not well connected to the international financial system and thus have difficulty receiving payments from foreign investors. Token securities could also be an opportunity for smaller companies that have difficulty meeting the regulatory requirements for issuing traditional securities and which operate in countries where issuing such tokens is not illegal.

In any case, this particular contention is somewhat beside the central point I was trying to make, which is that the programmatic and geography/identity-transcending nature of cryptocurrency gives it abilities that traditional currencies don't have, and will obviously find use-cases in an enormous number of applications overtime.

I would definitely not vote for someone in favor of that idea. I see no reason to believe that lower and middle classes here would see an increase in QOL if we started enacting trade restrictions on countries with lower standards of livings than ourselves. What you're talking about is essentially mercantilism, and it's long been discredited in economics.
The "Sounds of Long Distance" series does a pretty good job of explaining how the phone network was laid out in the waning years of the Bell System.
Check to see if those sites have mobile apps. If they do, monitor outbound requests from the app and you'll find an API you can probably use.
If you do the JSON serialization yourself, there's no reason for newlines to be in the JSON. (Newlines within strings are encoded as \n.)
Some argued the contract of carriage only allows the airline to deny boarding, not to remove you after boarding. But that is a pretty narrow interpretation of the language. Plus, the airline can throw you off the plane for any reason at all, even if doing so is a breach of contract.

There is no explicit law that says you can't be asked to leave a plane you already boarded.

> When you add "and vandal", you're implicitly saying that this somehow makes the use of deadly force more justified.

Well no that's not at all what I was saying. I took issue with the author attempting to make Israel more sympathetic, instead of treating him objectively. Rather than paint a right vs wrong, police accountability should be based on facts and the merits of the circumstances according the policies and processes of the police department.

But, since you raised that point, the fact that he was a vandal, and he was fleeing police, was actually material in making the use of non-deadly force (a TASER is not considered deadly force), lawful.

I mean come on, that can't be true. You've just invalidated the whole field of UX and perhaps the most defining aspect of breakthrough products. Yes, it's hard to define and up to debate. That's why there's a debate. But it doesn't help to say, we can't talk about it, only concrete primitives.

As to his definition of email, I think you're mixing up his program's specific feature list (printing, relational DB, etc.) with his definition, which is more general. Having said that I do think it's a bit too strong to require 100% compliance to his definition, like requiring an address book.[1] Having said that, when we compare that list to what was available in 1978 it's much starker how advanced it was (assuming it actually worked).

It depends, in most cases yes they go home. In high profile cases they get put in a hotel. I got to go home in my case, it was a civil suit.

The judge instructed us not to look up research related to the case and I listened and didn't.

After the fact, I believe the verdict would have been different if we had been allowed to lookup how that type of case was being run and what happens and so on. It was an auto insurance litigation for injuries and medical bills.

I think part of the problem is I'm old now. All the plots are reruns of older plots. They were great when I was young and the plots were new to me.

I've read where television is overtaking movies as the place where you get good stories and character development. Breaking Bad, The Wire and Game of Thrones are better than any movie I've probably ever seen.

I saw Wonder Woman the other day and the only thing I liked about it was the WWI setting, and they managed to botch that too. I mean it was an OK movie, but just like every other super hero movie. Get of my lawn I guess.
You can proceed with the enrollment anyway, even if you receive that message, with any set of six digits and any set of characters for the last name and receive a message indicating that you're enrolled.

I watched the video of the CEO describing what Equifax was doing in response to the incident and he does not specifically name "equifaxsecurity2017.com" or "trustedidpremier.com" as the sites they've set up, only that they've set up a special website.

Exhibit A: Don't roll your own crypto...we don't just say it because it's fun.

Kudos to the authors for not weaponizing the vulnerability for profit. There was no sound basis for the developers to design their own hash function, and it was a collosal mistake. It's not as if any of the other hash functions were inadequate for their security or performance needs.

Frankly, I don't know if I should blame ignorance or hubris in this situation.

> If you have power and money, and your livelihood is on the line, its ethical to use whatever means are available to defend yourself.

Not under any system of ethics I'm familiar with. Indeed, I would imagine that a big part of most ethical systems is about _not_ abusing your power.

For example, most people would consider it unethical for a company to manipulate, bribe, intimidate, and discredit people in order to suppress evidence of the harmful nature of that company's products.

> Is it wrong to hire the best attorney for your defense just because they may be friends with the judge

Are we talking about the godfather to the judge's child, or somebody who has coffee with him a few times a month?

If it's the former, any decent judge would recuse himself - and the other attorney would rightly kick up a fuss if he didn't.

> Also, how can you expect police and others to be unbiased when this device has probably helped them or saved their own life at some point. Are they supposed to ignore the fact that this is a critical tool in their belt?

No. But, an ethical person would weigh the benefits Tazers offer against the risks they introduce: and it's hard to do that when Tazer systematically suppress evidence of those risks.
"Many" is an understatement here. Pretty much every Windows desktop app is written in C++ and Windows runs on over 90% of all desktops.

Adobe will never rewrite Photoshop in Rust or whatever. If you thought burying COBOL was hard.. C++ will outlast humanity.

I can already hear the Alien scientists: "An amazingly intricate and convoluted language for such a primitive species. The mismatch between their mental abilities and their language might explain the bug which caused the incident.."
> I want to see Equifax's CEO, CTO, CSO and anyone who ever saw a report saying "we need to invest more in security" and ignored it, to pay. Preferably with their jobs.

Nope. Ain't gonna happen. Financial crime pays, big time! No one goes to Jail. They usually have an investigation followed by a hearing in Congress (if it is "BIG" enough), then come back and pay a fine. Media will report the fine as "MILLIONS OF $" but the fine hardly makes a dent in the Bank / Financial institute's coffer.

W.r.t. this particular situation, here's a story that just broke.

Three Equifax Managers Sold Stock Before Cyber Hack Was Revealed (bloomberg.com) => https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15196309

It's called INSIDER TRADING.
This paper mainly focuses on the miner-transaction fee-protocol economics, completely neglecting the real world economic interactions and history of BTC.

Satoshi's core design of bitcoin minting favored early adopters to mint coins at extremely low cost and processing power, this is why someone traded 10,000 bitcoins for two pizzas because it took no effort to generate those early on. Satoshi decided to decrease the amount of rewards as the network grew older and presumably more users would adopt it, why? This is a marketing gimmick seen with beanie babies and base ball cards where the cost of production is low yet you tell customers the supply is very limited so you must act quick while supplies last. And the supplies of this type of service are increasing with every day as alternative networks offering the same service (blockchains, trustless distributed databases) are increasingly sprouting up. The question speculators should be considering when evaluating the economic worth in trading bitcoins or any other altcoin should certainly take into consideration what value the network provides them versus alternative service networks, what the risk of volatility in each network is especially because extreme drops in value are much easier than rises in price as liquidity is severely limited and many "whale" accounts often own enough supply of coins to crash the entire market [1] [2] [3].

Exchanges like MTGox, Bitfinex, etc have been suspected of manipulating exchange rates and insider trading via maliciously scripted exchange bots within the exchange [4] [5] [6].

[1] https://bitinfocharts.com/top-100-richest-bitcoin-addresses....

[2] https://etherscan.io/tokenrichlist

[3] ETH had a presale which sold for $0.35 USD - $0.45 USD. The vast majority of cryptocoin variations premine or rapidly mint their supply, and then game speculators to pass the bag off to greater fools in what is essentialy a pyramid scheme backed by a network of databases running double-entry bookkeeping marketed as magic technology that's changing everything.

Incorrect. United has a contract of carriage that explicitly enumerates the circumstances in which they can remove you from the aircraft.[1] Overbooking is not one of those reasons, and there is no "catch-all".

No, "prehistoric" is the time period before written records. If we only started paying attention to hurricanes in the gulf 200 years ago, that doesn't mean 1805 was prehistoric.
It runs page scripts and wait after DOMContentLoaded. But may not be accurate in some cases. Do you have any examples to try?
One problem with acetone is it's pretty hygroscopic, so it will absorb water from the atmosphere or any plant material that's not bone dry. Then you're left with water in the extract when the acetone is boiled off. Alcohols are worse as they form azeotropes with water. Also the more polar things (basically anything other than -ane) tend to extract sugars, pigments, etc.

Saturated unsubstituted hydrocarbons (e.g. hexane) are really nice to work with, e.g. provide similar results to butane at room temperature/pressure. Heptane is nice because it can in principle be "natural" if sourced from Jeffrey pine oil, but I haven't seen that for sale...

Fosbury effect and the idea of progress
Being denied your paid seat is a civil matter (and possibly allowed in the contract you signed when you bought it). The proper course of action is a request for compensation followed by a lawsuit if necessary. Or a complaint to relevant oversight bodies. Or making a stink in the court of public opinion.

But trespassing on someone's property after receiving a request from them to leave is a crime. Disobeying a lawful order from a police officer is another crime. This guy got stupid lucky that the affair went viral. Otherwise he'd just be sitting in jail.
Precisely. In no way was Alice's identity stolen - that's tautologically impossible. Rather, the bank was defrauded by the criminal - Alice is of not a party to whether or not the bank recovers from its own loss. Alice's ownership is entirely unaffected, though the bank's internal processes might not reflect that - again, their problem, not Alice's.

Further - this rat race, where I have to give ever more intimate details about myself to verify who I am, "for my own protection", seems to only ratchet away my privacy until there is nothing about me left unpublic. Facebook, Banks, Airbnb, Credit Card companies, Telephony companies have ALL given me that line when I resist providing SSN, DoB, or whatever mine-able nugget they're looking for this month. Every time I give out a new kind of private information it inevitably leaks - defeating their point of having asked me - all the while my privacy is left scorched while they move on unconcerned to the next piece of my private life. It's uncomfortable.
That argument just lowers the bar. It can be a shallow movie and also not insult my intelligence and cram product placements into every other shot. Bad filmmaking is bad. Do not make excuses for it.

Yes good point. Though I think most features can be tested without running a program -- e.g. testing if a library function exists or has a certain signature.

I think embedded toolchains use plain makefiles because they tend to fork code rather than upstream changes. And that is due to the ship-it-and-forget-it mindset of embedded companies that is well known among open source maintainers.

I can't agree more. I grew up next to a theater and it was the thing to do. The last decent movie experince I can recall was the film print showing of the hateful eight.

Bitcoin is not regulated. It cannot be regulated. There is
no need to regulate it because as a system it is committed
to the protocol as is and the transaction fees it charges
the users are determined by the users independently of the
miners’ efforts.

There's no need to regulate Bitcoin the protocol or software.

The gateways, such as the exchanges are more of an essential element in regard to regulatory and economic influence on the cryptocoin economies.
Those data don't differentiate bitcoins bought for investment and for trading.

It hurts everyone foolish enough to still do business with the bank after they jack up their fees to pay for it. Or in jurisdictions where a small number of banks are given a monopoly, or competition is otherwise discouraged, it hurts everyone.
