Kaczynski specifically writes about exploring written and communicative mediums in his works, including the Internet. He concludes that approach is fruitless, below is the quote.

Anyone who has a little money can have something printed, or can distribute it on the Internet or in some such way, but what he has to say will be swamped by the vast volume of material put out by the media, hence it will have no practical effect. To make an impression on society with words is therefore almost impossible for most individuals and small groups. Take us (FC) for example. If we had never done anything violent and had submitted the present writings to a publisher, they probably would not have been accepted. If they had been been accepted and published, they probably would not have attracted many readers, because it’s more fun to watch the entertainment put out by the media than to read a sober essay. Even if these writings had had many readers, most of these readers would soon have forgotten what they had read as their minds were flooded by the mass of material to which the media expose them. In order to get our message before the public with some chance of making a lasting impression, we’ve had to kill people.

For some context if anyone in interested, it appears that before WWII, the peak production of wheat in the United States was in 1915 with ~1 billion bushels/year. The expected production for 2017 is over ~1.7 billion bushels/year. The last time production was even close to the peak pre-WWII level was in 1962.

Sources: the absolutely amazing "Crop production historical track records" from the USDA available at http://usda.mannlib.cornell.edu/usda/current/htrcp/htrcp-04-... for historical numbers and https://www.usda.gov/oce/commodity/wasde/latest.pdf for 2017 estimates.

It may be interesting to note that the area harvested has gone down by ~40%, but of course the yields have increased -- by a factor of ~2.7.

"Completed" just means that the ICO is no longer running (the company is no longer generating/selling new tokens).

If the tokens have a price in that list, it's because people are buying and selling them and value them for some reason. Maybe the tokens have direct utility for doing things in some decentralized smart-contract-based system, or people believe that such a system is arriving in the future based on word of the dev team. The tokens with no listed value now probably aren't being traded by anyone and aren't being valued by anyone, and it's probably because the plan for the system they were set up for turned out to be vaporware / devs ran off / devs never really existed / people lost faith in the devs / the idea turned out not to be feasible or need tokens at all, etc.

Crypto Trading FAQ
Huh, I guess not. Strange, I could've sworn I read somewhere that was the case.
> In California, the risk capital test considers whether there is attempt by an issuer to (1) raise funds for a business venture or enterprise (2) through an indiscriminate offering to the public at large, (3) where the investor is in a passive position to affect the success of the enterprise, and (4) the investor’s money is substantially at risk because it is inadequately secured.

That squarely sounds like any Kickstarter or crowdfunding arrangement.

Most false documents can generally be detected by reference checks, particularly if it includes a credit check. The landlords in the article did not sound like they'd bothered.

Property ownership is not trivial to check: not only does the registrar vary by location, with varying availabilities of information, but who is to say that person X asking airbnb to do / not do something is the X on the title? Further, lots of rental property is owned by a LLC/trust/corporation. Of course you can determine who is authorized to speak for the aforementioned LLC, but it's not an api request away.
It isn't trespassing. They had the permission of the tenants. It was violation of lease but that is not a crime.
The owner will have their day in court and can clear it up about the tenant. I'm just telling you what I see. There were a few notices posted in our building. The owners have no idea until they get a court summons.

Why do you want to customise so much? I know there are people like you but maybe like the Firefox developers I don't understand it. I use software as it comes. I almost never change any options. I don't even change my desktop wallpaper. I think making developers add options for everything creates bloat. Just use the defaults!

I'm not sure they will. Vimperator etc. has a lot of dependencies some of which will never come to be. But the parts that could, like a proper keyboard api hasn't even been reviewed for months. The community complained about the lack of apis, they made a webextension experiment, which is apparently the way you ask for api extensions and it's pretty much just being ignored(the thread is 2 years old [1][2]). The customization thing mentioned also applies since the plugin creates a custom status bar and hides all sorts of other stuff.

I'm not sure what browser I'm going to use to be honest. All the hotkey browsers are buggy as hell since they use qtwebkit, webkitgtk, qt-webengine and whatnot. Chrome has extensions like cvim which sort of work, but they suffer from issues like not being able to properly hook keys and properly notify the user about the state you're in making me frequently make mistakes on what I want to do. As the sibling said a poor imitation of what was possible before.

If firefox just immitates chrome, what's the point in having it? How about trying to eat some of IE's lunch by making enterprise customization a first class citizen? But then again not sure if that matters. And yes I'm aware of GPO[3], but calling that first class citizen is disingenuous at best.

What does this even mean?

And the tenants do have quite a bit of risk here: a fine of $20k is certainly worth pursuing through the courts. So also significant property damage. They seem to be banking (and to be fair, so far it's a good bet) on landlords being too lazy.

> The D programming language has a 'pure' annotation which can be applied to functions. This enables the compiler checking that the function does not read or write any global mutable state, including checking the functions called.

Are foreign calls assumed to be non-pure? Can they be marked pure in the case that the foreign (likely C) function doesn't reference global mutable state?
Article is a book plug.

I recommend The Psychopath Code by the late Pieter Hintjens [1]. It is frighteningly analytical & accurate with many analogies, examples and references to work with. Bonus points for using security terminology (he refers to the psychopath as Mallory). The book is freely available as PDF, and a physical copy can be bought as well. Changes can be suggested at gitbook [2], though the author (a long-term member of the open source community) passed away oct 2016.

Although anecdotal I also enjoy reading posts from self-proclaimed psychopath "Athena Walker" on Quora on the subject.

You do, which is then thrown out when you show that you are renting. Unlike the fines mentioned here, which stick.

> Just use the defaults!

Just customize!
Oh, I fully understand there are some trade-offs, its just something that always makes it like something feels 'off' when I use cross platform apps. There's small touches that help a lot though.. a big one is UI elements transparency, like the Chrome window bar. Firefox actually had this until it was inexplicably ripped out in 43 (even more inexplicable when Firefox _does_ adapt to GTK styling on Linux).

Let me be clear that these are minor annoyances and I respect the effort you guys do and am pretty amazed that you can make ground on a browser backed by a behemoth like Google.

I'm also pretty stoked for when you guys will have fully Servo'd Firefox, or have released Servo as a standalone product. When I tried Servo it was already oh-so-smooth :)
Reading the wiki article this whole things comes across as some vague handwaving ending with "and you are all under arrest, all your coins are belong to us".

It's a Messiah story set in the far future. I included it here because it had an impact on the way I understand history (I prefer to leave that a bit cryptic).

As a work of fiction I'd call it good but not great. But at the moment I can't think of a work of fiction I'd call great, so I'm probably not the best critic on that point.

Everybody seemed to hate the 1984 film adaptation by David Lynch but I think it's pretty good. The Syfy miniseries got much better reviews but I thought it was only so-so. The film doesn't really spoil the book, which is kinda cool, but may be easier to follow and more fun to watch after having read it. Last but not least, I really enjoyed the recent documentary Jodorowsky's Dune...
Yes it is an API lookup to verify the LLC's authorized persons, for Florida: http://search.sunbiz.org/Inquiry/CorporationSearch/ByName

These people sound like professional swindlers, you can buy someone's identity on the darknet for a couple hundred dollars at the most. They almost certainly filled out the rental application using someone else's information. That was implied in TFA.

Property ownership is very trivial to check. Calling city/town hall when a property is listed is not an unreasonable task for a multi-million dollar company, more like the bare minimum due diligence. If they can manage to send out professional photographers they can manage basic ownership verification.
> I don't want to be dismissive, just point out why what you or I want or believe is right, may not always be the best from the perspective of someone who has to decide for the product used by hundreds of millions of users.

There's also a simpler explanation (and following Popper's criterion - it's way more likely to be the actual reason): mozilla just decided to switch to total populism and now targets for amoeba-like users (that are an overwhelming majority) rather than power users (advanced, tech-savvy, where the share of users with 100+ tabs is higher than 10% compared to those ~0.01% among all users).

Why?
Because it's easier and because this way it will make higher profit (I know that MoFo is a non-profit, that never mattered anyways).
I should have wrote "how to collect". I thought I remembered a mozilla employee asking HN to let them know if their anonymisation methods were adequate (not necessarily in that latest thread).

I use Ubuntu, which should be pretty similar to Debian as far as this is concerned:

I literally just downloaded the zip file (or maybe a .deb?) and unzipped it in a directory in my desktop. All I had to do after that was make sure I didn't have both browsers open, and everything worked properly. They both used the same profile, and the tabs I opened in nightly were available in stable and vice versa.

I did nothing more than unzip the browser, and everything works perfectly.
The US expelled Cuban diplomats in May, after the initial attacks. Granted, the attacks weren't made public, and a reason for the expulsion assigned, until August, so that could just be the administration trying to look proactive.
Great book. But hard to find a print copy and be prepared to pay a LOT. Last time I saw on Amazon - a print copy was going for over a thousand USD.

Luckily my university library had one so was able to read it. Worth it.
There are always things that people want to customize, and this is where Firefox differs from Chrome. An example is the recent change in Chrome that make the Backspace key no longer go back a page. Chrome just flatly forced users to adapt it, with no configurable option anywhere, whereas if Firefox ever adopts this, I have peace of mind that I can always go to about:config and change it back.
> you have to declare the synchronization semantics for every global when you do. (That is, they have to be read only, or thread local, or atomic, or protected by a lock.)

That doesn't sound like it helps you determine which one of those is appropriate. So it seems rather like a system that will lead to unexpected bottlenecks when you parallelize. (Somebody deep inside the stack arbitrarily decided locking was the most appropriate - now you've got a contended lock or a potential lock ordering bug later on.)

Granted it does seem like it allows for more reasonable defaults than a default-unsafety policy.

The key marked ` is often set as a "dead key" on European keyboard layouts -- typically the layouts where the accent isn't commonly used, but will be needed for typing people and place names, or the occasional foreign word.

With a Danish Mac layout, to type ` I press it then press space. To type è, ì etc, I press `, then press the vowel. Similarly I can use the keys marked ¨ ^ and ´. (The Danish letters æ, ø, å have their own keys, since they are used very frequently.)

So, I would never call it "backtick", since it is a grave accent.
What makes you think they didn't? This kind of thing is very much a political game. Regardless, I'm not aware of any official release from the US government that this was actually a targeted attack with some kind of device (not that they would, in most cases). It's a union representing diplomats that's saying it.

Further, there's debate about whether a subsonic device exists that is capable of doing this. Certain viruses could do something like this.
More like, if I heard someone describe Miike's Audition (1999) as "humdrum", I'd think that they were jaded.

I think the only way to deal is via legal means.

He didn't threaten them, and he got their runaround.

Similarly - I'd imagine this situation you are facing will impact property resale value - no lawyer here but you might look into legal channels - something like a class action or somesuch from all affected owners will definitely get their attention I'm sure of it..

>Marxism is bad. Like Hegel, Marx wrote without any substance, and his work has been refuted long ago. Its legacy is undeniably bad. Nobody sane discusses Marxism itself, other than it's historical place. To me, Marx and Hegel are prophets and enemies of reason.

I have to say I disagree with this; Marx wrote with very much substance, though he was a flowery writer, and he employed a certain method which he and Engels admitted was rather obscure and unfamiliar to the thinkers of their new time - but there's plenty of content there, such that many have been inspired by his work to take it in new theoretical directions.

The "refutations" of Marx come from everywhere, even from Marxists, their validity however is still up for question. For every refutation there is usually a Marxian counter-refutation lurking in the background. If you don't believe me, just look at the modern argument between the anarchists and Marxists and the economical argument that still rages to this day between the understandings of Marx's value theory and tendency of the rate of profit to fall, like Kilman's TSSI, Okishio, Samuelson, Morishima, Cockshott etc.
"SD" is basically the name of a standard stack, not a particular layer. You can reformat an SDHC card to not be FAT32, but then it won't be an SDHC card any more.

There is a point to this: SD cards are used in all sorts of low-level embedded applications, with firmware that uses very inflexible (usually assembler) code to address the card. The assumptions about the SD wire protocol + the FAT32 filesystem + even the particular location of the FAT table on disk are all knotted together in these devices.

Because of this, it's not even just that SDHC requires FAT32; SDHC requires FAT32 done with a specific formatting tool released by the SD standards group. Because your OS might put the FAT anywhere, but the tool puts it in exactly one place, and that's the place that dumb embedded devices expect to find it.

Older LCDs have a lower level interface. From memory, there's a pixel clock, line clock and frame clock. Then a parallel bus with the pixel value. The cirrus logic ARM SoC in the Psion 5mx interfaces with the LCD directly. You also need to supply it with some weird voltages (+/- 15V?). When I was doing that I found that part more difficult, I think I'd find it easier now...

The interface is pretty standard, so the gumstix (TI OMAP3something) can also drive it.

The keyboard is pretty big for a FPCB. I'm just guess 500USD, for maybe 10 pieces. Because that's the prototype level pricing I've seen before (check itead.cc or Seeed, they both do FPCB now I believe).

The process they actual use in membrane keyboards is different, I don't know what that process is called.
