The whole point of a plea deal is to give a more lenient sentence in exchange for admitting guilt. If that wasn't the case everyone would just go to trial for everything, there's always a chance of getting out.

Even traffic court works this way.
I am distinctly not white. I am pretty much the last person you'd expect to see at a Klan meeting. In fact, I'm pretty sure they'd lynch me.

I don't like what they have to say, but I'm really disheartened that they aren't allowed to say it. Free speech should be a social ideal. The liberty of free speech is a wonderful thing, even if it is sometimes abhorrent speech.

The huge valuation is almost surely just speculation. I believe it has value in many uses cases but as you point out with point "A" not most use cases.

For "B", the coins are highly divisible and the costs of usage will be driven the market. You probably won't need $1k to use the network, the same way you don't need ~$4500 to use Bitcoin.

Pocketchip was the portable hardware device they made so you can play Pico-8 games. I picked one up and unfortunately I don't recommend it.

I think they screwed up the design and feel of the buttons, and it's actually very difficult to play the games (especially the D-Pad) or program directly on the device as a result.

They needed something closer to keys on a graphic calculator, actually, and a proper d-pad, and I might have used it more than the two times since I got it a year ago. I was actually hoping it'd be like a TI calculator but dedicated for gaming, but alas, I had a better device for ultra portable game development 23 years ago.

I still play the Pico-8 games on the computer though and there's some really cool ones out there. I have a game that's almost complete myself (basically just a demake of my most popular game that I often use as an exercise to learn a new system), but I got distracted by other shiny things. Maybe I'll get back to finishing it sometime in the next six months.

I teach at the middle school level and I can tell you very few teachers have any awareness of COPPA. They see kids using these apps and services and just assume it is normal. Parents are checked out or overly-permissive about telling their kids to lie about their birthdate in order to get on FB, Twitter, and Instagram.

When I explain and ask "is it OK to misrepresent yourself in order to deceive someone to give you something that otherwise they would reject as an illegal act" I get blank stares.

I love the idea and would definitely recommend you develop it further. Have you seen the Climate Change Coloring Book? It did reasonably well on Kickstarter (raised $24k, although after printing and shipping that might not leave much) and I just got my copies about a week ago. I ordered 5 to give some as gifts. I'd easily order a few of yours and give one to my dad (former coder) and my kids.

> I'm not excited about this class action; If they win, the individual payout will be almost nothing ($10?). The lawyers are the only ones who will really "make out" with 10's of millions in fees.

Equifax needs to feel pain so they behave better in the future. Their executives need to be taught that they need to invest in security or it will affect their balance sheet. That will happen even if the payout to individuals is small, just as long as it costs Equifax a lot.
I'd like to know how much influence the consumer credit industry had in pushing through things like the Citizens United decision. Corporations love to be people when they can influence elections and make money off poor folks, but I wonder if they're ready to take the corporate death penalty when they break the law.

A bunch of class action lawsuits might make options like Move to Amend a lot more palatable to corporations facing that kind of scrutiny. It also gives political capital to organizations working to prevent rollbacks on consumer protections implemented after the Great Recession.

If Equifax's reputation hangs on a single hack, then they probably weren't that reputable to begin with. Why should we have to live under decisions that benefit them when they no longer exist, or weren't even who we thought they were?

Unlocking Billions in Investment Opportunities for the Machine Economy
Why do people think a 12 week course will make a non-technical person ready for a junior developer role? Most developers I know have years of deep experience with computers before becoming professional programmers. (Things like fixing driver issues, installing linux, patching games etc).

I have several friends who went to bootcamps had no deep technical interest beforehand. They just heard that computer programming was good money, and they enrolled. To me, the ideal bootcamp student would be the person who dabbles with programming or programming-tangential technologies on the side, but just needs that little extra boost. That is a very small number of people if experience is any guide.

I just don't think it's reasonable to go from 0 to junior developer in 12 weeks if you don't have that technical history. It's why you can't become a doctor in 12 weeks, generally. The four year degree programs force exposure to programming and programming-thinking for 4 dedicated years. This is enough to close the gap for non-technical people, but 12 weeks is surely not.
> The other 3 are companies that have a bit of a reputation and I wouldn't even consider working at anyway.

How is that relevant in this context? Regardless of company it's obviously a trend to refuse bootcamp graduates.
Whoops. I stand corrected.
I was wondering about this too. Like, I never signed up for them, but apparently their site says I might have been affected. CreditKarma or other credit score companies apparently share user data to these agencies.

Their announcement says social security, addresses and names have been stolen, this is really worse, this data is enough to do ton of things.
My friend and I interviewed with them and I can tell you it works. My friend got offers from 2 very good startups. The interviews work very differently and the personal referral can be invaluable. Apart from all these, you will make a lot of great contacts.

PS. I have no relation with the company.
while, yes I did want to make out in the second half just how difficult it was to get in contact with a CERT, it's sad to hear the other half put down to 'alright findings'...

Sure, the first issue that made me get into tax bug hunting was a run-of-the-mill open redirect, but the second issue is an interesting DOMXSS in an obfuscated vendor codebase with a WAF bypass alongside some technical commentary I worked really hard on that allows you to read and write financial data. It's sad to see that equally significant portion of my work dismissed as 'alright findings'.
> You know that two computers are physically far apart if they respond to pings in the right way, as limited by the speed of light.

This presupposes that there are no other obstacles like DPI as you'd expect in a place like China or capacity issues due to a broken undersea cable causing traffic to be re-routed to alternate routes.

Not really disagreeing with you, merely pointing out that "proof of location" isn't as easy to determine in the real world where packets are routinely routed through different jurisdictions.
I agree all avowed socialist (like Nazis) should be banned from the internet. We've got our work cut out.
Hussein wanted the West to believe that he had no chemical weapons. He also wanted the Middle East (especially Iran) to believe that he did have them. He tried to play that game, expecting the West to realize that he was bluffing his neighbors. Instead, the West believed that he was hiding stuff from the West.
These are two different things...

For a criminal probe such as this, any possible fines generally go into the administration's coffers. I know many people like to believe that prosecutors may be motivated by that money, the people making decisions on prosecution (US attorneys in this case) are so far removed from the general budget of the federal government that it's an absurd idea. The amounts are also negligible in the scheme of things.

Then, there are class action lawsuits, where the settlement is usually divided among a large number of citizen that were actually harmed, and a rather big chunk goes to the lawyer.

Note that the latter is also kinda how the system is supposed to work: almost by definition, class action lawsuits are used in cases where each individual was harmed only slightly, making an individual lawsuit too much of a hassle. The lawyers take on most of the risk of the trial.

In both cases, it's more important where the money is coming from than where it's going: the preventative effects of such costs far outstrips the importance of healing the actual harm that occurred.
I can get on board with this as soon as you figure out a way to require security training for the masses as opposed to the handful in charge of security.

If you get it to work, we can then proceed to get rid of police departments.

The particular speech in question matters here at some level, doesn't it? Society is messy and collaborative, and applying a first amendment-style rule to literally everyone on literally every subject is untenable.

In a sense it's even paradoxical. You can't say that everyone must uphold free speech on every subject without restricting their own freedom in some way.

Checking the PJM power grid's alerts:

Warning: A Geomagnetic Disturbance Warning has been issued for 01:47 on 09.08.2017 through 17:00 on 09.08.2017 . A GMD warning of K7 or greater is in effect for this period.
Additional Comments: SpaceWeatherPredictionCenter Extended original Warning of GMD Intensity of K7 or greater until 9/8/17 21:00 UTC (17:00 EDT).

Warning: A Geomagnetic Disturbance Warning has been issued for 19:21 on 09.07.2017 through 02:00 on 09.08.2017 . A GMD warning of K7 or greater or greater is in effect for this period.

These are just warnings. No alarms or actions yet.

The effect of these events on the power grid is to induce DC currents between grounded points far apart. This reduces the capacity of some transformers by causing partial saturation. PJM monitors those currents at some substations, and will take action if transformers start to saturate. There are routine switching procedures for this.

For long-distance DC lines, it's a win; the system can use the power.

I see no reason this should be seen as a threat of imminent violence. Simply saying 'so-and-so should get punched' is not, to me, a credible, real threat. Just some troll mouthing off.

The missile NK recently fired over Japan recently was launched at 5:58 AM. At 6:02 AM the Japanese government sent a text alert. At 6:12 it landed in the ocean. We know about NK missiles launches very quickly after they are fired. I wouldn't be surprised if we know about them before they're fired. This suggests to me that these missiles can be intercepted.

I don't know what kinds of interception technology is deployed in the area, but I would guess there is some and I would also guess that a (hypothetical) NK ICBM would not have significant countermeasures.

I think the real question here is what NK/Kim's aims are. When Iran was actively developing a nuclear capability, it seemed clear that their goal was to get as close to a weapon as possible without actually finishing a weapon. The closer they were, the more bargaining power they had in terms of getting the US/UN to lift sanctions.

With NK, I'm less clear about strategy. In the past, it seemed like NK actions had the aim of extorting aid money from the US/allies. That may still be the case. Here's a chart showing US humanitarian aid to NK since 2001: https://explorer.usaid.gov/cd/PRK

The industry has definitely changed, but a CS degree has never completely prepared anyone to be a professional software engineer.

There have always been a large set of practical skills that aren't really taught as core CS curriculum, but most professional software engineers are going to need to be comfortable with: the version control software of the day, ways of managing runtime considerations of an application (which has obviously evolved a lot recently), certainly programming languages as well.

What kind of apps have you used since learning C#? Was it difficult finding work with C#?
It really doesn't matter which one, given the things you care about (learning resources, deployment options).

I'd say pick the one that has programming concepts you're most unfamiliar with. That's usually how you learn more.
> Answer: innovation and competition from other market players.

I'm not sure what you're referring to. AMD was on its deathbed a few years ago and Intel still has a near-monopoly on desktop and server CPUs. Google continues to be a monopoly on search and website ads. Microsoft has fallen somewhat, but you could argue that this was only due to pressure from regulators (e.g. browser bundling ban in Europe and when Microsoft was funding Apple to keep the perception of competition alive).
If any three of those got hit there is no way a US President from any party would not respond with some counter attack.

I'd expect the European countries to do the same.
In January 1992[1], long after the Cuba Crisis, Robert S. McNamara attended a meeting with Castro. He asked Castro: 1) Did you know the warheads were there? 2) Would you have recommended to Chruschtschow to use the in the face of an US American attack? 3) If he had used them, what would have happened to Cuba?

His response: 1) I knew they were there. 2) I would not have recommended to Cruschtschow, I did recommend to use them. 3) What would have happened to Cuba? We would have been totally destroyed!

I think this story should be kept in mind when trying to predict behavior, esp. when the stakes are this high.

Some of the Mujahideen armed by the US eventually joined the Taliban, but only after the Taliban became the main power in Afghanistan.

But large parts of the Mujahideen were actually part of the Northern Alliance that fought against the Taliban until liberation in 2002.

The CIA reactivated many of the same contacts from the Soviet war in 2001 to help them against the Taliban.
This is complete and utter media hype. The most that will happen is we will continue sanctions, and NK will develop a nuclear deterrent. They will not actually use it to bomb anyone, but just so they can be safe in the knowledge they will not get invaded because of said deterrent. Like any other country with nukes (there is a lot of us).

I do not support their regime, but I also do not support everyone ganging up on them and deciding that military invasion and mass slaughter is somehow the solution. Like with any country, change is slow and has to come from within.

I think this phenomenon perpetuates false beliefs along the entire economic spectrum as well. I grew up middle class, and myself and my friends always considered movie stars as the richest people around!

When in reality, movie stars have nickels compared to executives, and old-money families. Many folks just can't comprehend the difference between 5 million dollars in assets, to 500 million dollars.

Which begs the question: at what dollar amount does wealth become obscene and unnecessary? It's a moving target, but if I had to throw a dart I would probably pick 100 million as being the upper limit for wealth for an individual. There is just no reason to have more than that.
