This brings us back to my point 1 and 2. I don't know why people keep telling me about Bitcoin when the whole point of my comment was about non-bitcoin cryptocurrencies.

Bitcoin mining is not economical anymore for minor miners, which is why we have mining pools, but there are other cryptocurencies that are just starting out and need miners. Not sure if you're aware but everytime a new promising altcoin starts out GPU mining does work for a bit in the early days. And then it doesn't.

My point was if you could identify these promising altcoins during the early stages it may make sense. I said nothing about using Bitcoin to do this.
That's an interesting thought process. How, though, does paying $0 up-front for something that costs $0 put you on the hook to later be charged any price the vendor wishes? And what makes this different from a $5 purchase? If I buy a hot dog from a street vendor, I certainly wouldn't expect to see another $10 charge from him 6 months later just because he felt like he should have charged more at the time.
Yup! Just less infrastructure investment and land use than the usual mining expedient of a giant conveyer belt.
That's what happened
I found that chapter 2 of the Deep Learning book by Ian Goodfellow, Yoshua Bengio and Aaron Courville is quite good.

I doubt it happens directly on the blockchain, but there are plenty of things built on top of bitcoin that make that work. Its like arguing that no one uses bank accounts for small purchases because wire transfers are too annoying.

Partly true, although I'm not even in a sprawled suburb, it's rather compact and well connected with public transport - but still once I have the house I almost can't go without a car because of all the stuff you need when you have (and maintain) a house.

Also some things are far apart by definition. Going fishing, to the forest, or just the Sunday morning hockey practice etc is part of "the package" of stuff you can do with a house and car. I Wouldn't trade those for a situation where my house was much closer to work and the area more dense, but I'd have no car.

The one thing that could revolutionize this is rental car pools with self driving cars. In the urban areas where parking is a hassle and the shared cars are always parked nearby, shared cars is becoming more common. That doesn't work in the suburb though. If I could summon a shared car when I need it, I wouldn't need a car of my own. That would mean the suburbs could be denser and have less cars.
I can't remember where I first heard it, but I'm sure it was before I'd used command lines. I always thought it came from the little flags on the side of some mailboxes.

etymonline doesn't have an entry for flag as a noun meaning boolean, but this might be related:

> flag (v.2) 1875, "place a flag on or over," from flag (n.1). Meaning "designate as someone who will not be served more liquor," by 1980s, probably from use of flags to signal trains, etc., to halt, which led to a verb meaning "inform by means of signal flags" (1856, American English). Meaning "to mark so as to be easily found" is from 1934 (originally by means of paper tabs on files). Related: Flagged; flagging.
Transformer is heavily reliant on supervised learning. Not sure where you're getting that from.
> glacial pace and apparent allergies to innovation

Glacial pace? It followed an exponential, doubling the number of transistors every 10 months for 40 years. You would be hard-pressed to come up with another field with the same pace of innovation and progress. The amount of innovation they had to come up with to sustain that, is staggering.

I disagree, it isn't the first time he has done something like this, and it isn't something you would want related to your product(even loosely).

The argument made by the game company is fairly straightforward too I believe.

"I am sick of this child getting more and more chances to make money off of what we make. He's worse than a closeted racist: he's a propagator of despicable garbage that does real damage to the culture around this industry."

> It depends how you look at it: 1. I would contribute to GCC because it's still "free". 2. I would have contributed to Caddy, but now they are half commercial, so I'm disinclined to provide my "free" to their commercial success.

Your argument would apply to any Apache or BSD licensed code. Not just Caddy.

Caddy has used the Apache 2 license for 2 years. Why would you not contribute now vs when the license was committed? Because they are not providing full free builds anymore? The public source code you are contributing to is still free. Nothing would have stopped anyone else from slapping a EULA on a custom Caddy build to sell.

It feels like a poor reason to refuse to contribute to an Apache licensed project.

I am so ticked about this hack. These stooges make billions off of us.. where are all those billions going? Not towards security!

Overall we can no longer use our socials for private identification. A different system is needed and is needed now.

You can also set up fragile directional radio links pretty cheap with off the shelf devices from Ubiquiti. If set up carefully, they can be basically impossible to follow if they are not aligned when they are observed by the adversary; and at least a little difficult even when they are. You can also use a tamper detecting opaque enclosure to (visually) hide the orientation.

We are in the middle of a golden age for surveillance, and a golden age for the avoidance of surveillance.

What's wrong with taking five seconds to tell someone their comment wasn't appreciated? You also have the option to just ignore them.

Are you really saying you can't ignore unwanted sexual comments in the work place?

You last assertion is beyond me. I see no evidence to suggest that women in general are subject to regular workplace harassment.
This story is from July 2017. Any time-sensitive comments that are made should be interpreted in that context.

Smartphones were solved back in 2011 with the iPhone 4s and the Galaxy S2. I still see some around, especially the iPhones. Next iterations are obviously better and faster but they are more about to keep funnelling money out of our pockets and to power (maybe not purposely) the ever increasing complexity of tracking and marketing tools.
Buy reddit, add a messaging feature and you're on your way.
I have a dynamic graph visualization library. For too long, we've been content with contact lists. I want to create a dynamic visualization, one that journalists can use to point to referenced people in a story. With a billion dollars, I wouldn't have to do all the development myself.

There already is a Facebook, why are you trying to disrupt it?

Because it promotes bite-sized and current content over depth? A website that's just a personal to-read queue with a share button.

Because its one-size-fits-all approach that's only suitable for a narrow band of life events? A toolkit for making small community forums where moderators control what sort of posting model and user profile they have but users control which of their profiles are visible from each other.
Cassini: an incredible journey of exploration
I can say that early myspace seemed a lot more fun to me because it was somewhat customizable. I recall being able to put html elements, banners, change colors, and make it somewhat unique to my own tastes. As far as I know, there isn't much like that these days, certainly not FB. I think that uniqueness value is missing from today's socials.
Penalizing shareholders and executives to the extent that reporting breaches becomes enterprise suicide is only going to make breaches unannounced and prevent the collective from learning from individual mistakes, so therefore more common.

The way to reduce breaches is to encourage open admission of security failures, so that preventative knowledge spreads quickly. It is worth some positive amount of respect to follow through in one's obligation to warn one's dependents,
and moreso if one tries to warn society as a whole.
An automated reward system that pays people not to use Facebook and charges them when they use it.
Software licensing is damn hard. When it come to certain tools people wont use them if they are not open source or don't get active maintenance. But they are also willing to pay for it.
Assuming you didn't mean "disrupting" in the sense of creating a product that replaces Facebook, I would spend the money on a relentless negative media campaign.

Buy/cultivate influence with sympathetic publications/journalists or create/acquire your own media presence and just hammer them with every negative thing you can find about the management of the company, the business, the users, the content, anything. Pay moles inside the company to leak sensitive information to you.

Then when/if you manage to bring Facebook's reputation down enough, target advertisers with a coordinated campaign to boycott this "horrible" company.
Focus on making the concept of a "social network" less disruptive from a personal standpoint, and more "complementary." There is a wealth of evidence that Facebook, as it exists today, is toxic to mental health and relationships. If you could create a social network that is seamless and complementary to your existing interactions in the physical world, that would be a compelling product.

How to do it? That's the $1B question.

Since the top claimant was someone from Massachusetts, I wonder if this [1] has anything to do with it. Perhaps he's the person who cashes in tickets for one of the syndicates mentioned in the story.

PHP being largely targeted st web app development is a bonus: how many times do ruby apps need to rely on a swath of gems to achieve functionality PHP has in its standard distributed extensions?
I'd guess though it has to do with circles as in ring-0 from OS theory and maybe recycled (pun not intended) from google plus circles. With the other ones creativity might just have left them.

Actually this is a bit different as google is not blocking their app from being installed on Android just not allowing them to use Google play. In other words google is not stopping them from using the (railroad) train tracks just not willing to transport them in their locomotive.

If you could write down two sentences about your "Pinterest marketing strategy", what would it read like? How do you leverage it in a clever way to generate inbound traffic?
I'm interested because I have never ever used pinterest other than the occasional google search result that sent me to the website, I really dont seem to grasp how people get so "sucked" into this tunnel of post-it-notes-of-stuff-you-like?
To follow that up, I would create interactive 4D visualizations of important institutions like congress, and of course the corporate historians could use it to visualize their companies' histories, perhaps sparing us the hassle of filling out job application fields all the time.
You spend all that money on lobbying politicians about the evils of Facebook. You launch multiple ad campaigns on Facebook to target politicians which, over time, brainwashes them into thinking that Facebook is evil and ought to be nationalized... Pay an army of hackers to leak articles into their feeds.
While you may sort of have a point for low-severity issues (if you patch every one ASAP, you are constantly restarting; should be tested in a group in stage and released to prod on a regular timeline), this was a 10.0 severity CVE and it is _definitely_ the kind of issue that you tolerate some downtime for. Check out the CVE, this could be exploited by anyone with a basic knowledge of cURL in 60 seconds or less. The vulnerability was just a matter of sending an arbitrary command in an HTTP header.

This is very interesting - back when I joined Amazon, one of the new hire on boarding questions was about how to deal with bad reviews and the principle was to just leave them as it is and not delete it - I am not 100% sure about it though - can someone confirm? If so deleting these reviews seems opposite to that

A friend of mine has written a very popular open-source JavaScript library and has been hosting a copy on his website. Turns out that a few high-volume news sites have started using the library, but instead of downloading a copy and serving it themselves, they've been hotlinking the one on his website.

As a result he is getting several million hits a day on his library's js file, directly from these website's pages.

We've been tempted to include a JavaScript miner in the library he is hosting, but we're unsure of the legal implications, i.e. would the fact that he's hosting the file on his website and that the other websites have simply hotlinked it, be a valid defense?
Just saw it, coin-hive use Web Assembly already :

Our miner uses WebAssembly and runs with about 65% of the performance of a native Miner.
WordPress is looking for a way to create modern interfaces in a more streamlined way and are looking for a tool to make that easy. Any number of libraries and frameworks are perfectly viable or can be made viable, most of which are operating from the same set of ideas while delivering the same benefits.

The size of React's ecosystem, bus factor and the availability of React Native all are nice but overstated in their importance relative to alternatives and obscure the many other considerations the WP community weighs up.

Further more, React's ecosystem size conveys marginal benefits given that use of React in core would have been constrained (it's not like core devs would be tapping into many additional React-based tools for core work).

React Native has not proven itself to be as stellar and promotes lock-in. If we come to rely on additional FB-engineered architecture to such a degree WP bets its future on the decisions made by a corporate giant with goals very dissimilar to WP and with decisions that may change down the line. This idea that FB has somehow has the closest thing to the holy grail and so we must all jump aboard the FB train is a very foolish and shortsighted one in my view. WP was wise not to adopt it.
If the business people at Equifax didn't spend through the nose on security then they are negligent, quite probably criminally so.

You can argue that Target is not in the "we need to secure this treasure trove of data" business and so them leaking 40 million credit cards is just an unfortunate accident.

But when you sit on the PII of 150 million people then you need to be top notch security wise. I am sure the eventually inevitable courts will appreciate a company culture where admin/admin is acceptable.
You also can't silently seize what is owned. Which is, generally speaking, the bigger issue.
It struggles to create a likeness on the side profile but that's to be expected. Nose and mouth details lost and it ends up looking like someone else. Still it's very cool, but it can't perform miracles.

A good test is when you have a front and side source image, such as police mug shot...

Take this famous David Bowie mug shot. I also tried Jimi Hendrix and Jim Morrison, the side profile never looks like the person.

https://ozimg.s3.amazonaws.com/temp/bowie_mug.jpg

An improvement to the engine might also accept a side profile source image to improve the details. Now that would be something!
I'm aware of the constraints being different on a mobile vs. a laptop. But that is no reason to pivot your arguments from "But Apple gives you so much security it's okay for you to give up freedom" to "But it's a mobile; Apple can't give you that much security; you'll just have to deal with it".

> Again this may be obvious and yet you seem oblivious to it as a consideration, as you expect a better offer, as though there are no constraints and tradeoffs, or you are unaware of them.

I'm not oblivious to the tradeoffs of security. I know that if I set a long password it only makes every login that much more tedious. And that's my problem to deal with. But to have no choice, no freedom, no chance of owing your device, in the name of "security", is either unmindful or wilfully ignorant of a manufacturer.

You keep saying I'm not a current iOS user so I couldn't possibly see the great things iOS does. I merely doubt it could do anything beyond generally security focused OSes. For example, my current mobile OS has a separate decryption password at boot, scrambles the lock screen numeric layout, compartmentalizes my data, hooks into every way apps can request private data and lets me allow/disallow/fake it, hooks into every way apps can even run and lets me choose which to allow/disallow, and still provides me the freedom to run whatever I want and share whatever data I want with whichever app I want.

I'm not dreaming of much more, largely because I already have quite a lot.

> He claims any potential harm in his case is just as attenuated and vague as Free Speech Coalition. Because no harm was done, he should have the same right as any adult to take voluntary photographs of his own body. We do not find this argument persuasive.

Given how persuasive this argument is, I am a bit surprised that the court was not persuaded. I understand that Ashcroft v. Free Speech Coalition has some distinguishing factors, like the fact that the depictions in question were clearly distinguishable from records of a crime (on account of them not being photographic images of actual minors).

This is a messy and complicated business, it seems like there needs to be a legislative solution since the supreme court can not find what most people consider a just outcome in an interpretation of the statute.
> "His differentiator is being easy to install."

Not just easy to install. Easy to install, maintain and extend. Those properties clearly have value, not just for those who can't afford to pay licence costs.

The idea there's no market for Caddy is clearly false. As referenced in the linked article, there are already uses of it in commercial organisations, something you're suggesting can't possibly exist as "Nginx and Apache already own that market".

The only criticisms I'd make is that the price is too high (in my opinion) and there should've been prior warning given before switching to a paid model, so that companies could budget for it in advance. However, that doesn't mean they won't have paying customers. Note that they've already got commercial sponsors.

I think I have seen similar systems for decades now. I thought we would be further along meanwhile.

I have tried for 10 or 20 minutes now. But I can't find any evidence that it has much sense of syntax:

Paul gives a coin to Joe.

Who received a coin?

Answer: Paul

All it seems to do is to extract candidates for "who", "what", "where" etc. So it seems to figure out correctly that "Paul" is a potential answer for "Who".

No matter how I rephrase the "Who" question, I always get "Paul" as the answer. "Who? Paul!", "Who is a martian? Paul!", "Who won the summer olympics? Paul", "Who got a coin from the other guy? Paul!"

Same for "what" questions:

I never visit nginx.com, it might scare me away ... yup, it's total bullshit.

I'll concede that Nginx does way more of whatever Caddy did that apparently made people upset.

But notice that nginx.org does nothing to attract people looking for a product, while nginx.com is an enterprise product, not a user product.

I just take issue with quotes like

> I do find it ironic that the open source community is so irate about having to compile software from source to customize it the way they want.

while the author does not realize how hard he was working to attract people who are not really the open source community.
