> I personally am waiting for after the trial to draw any conclusion about Charlottesville.

Why? Unless you have some kind of power over the defendant, there's no reason to reserve judgement until after the trial. Are you unwilling to make a judgement about, say, Julian Assange until he's tried in a court of law? Did you reverse your opinion about Joe Arpaio when he was pardoned? I have a lot of faith in the justice system, but verdicts are wrong all the time, and should be one of many factors in how you view the world.
I'm still waiting for an exchange taking proof of reserves or multi-sig with other exchanges seriously.

We know it can be done, and we k ow that none of the exchanges do it anymore.

As hopeful as I am, I know that scaling number of users is much more important for exchanges than advancing security through cryptography that users can verify.
True Story:

I worked on cellular buildouts in Seattle - we had a site in the City of Seattle proper to do a upgrade on the equipment there - its a relatively painless process (swap out hardware at bottom, new antennas, add tower top radios, replace coax on tower with hybrid cables with DC and Fiber in them), yet it took three years to get permits issued. In Federal Way there was another site of similar configuration (Monopole, same gear in both locations), it took less than 30 days to get the permit issued.

If you want to know why your network is so slow, and why cellular service can be expensive - thats why. Endless process, neighbors complaining about towers (radiation, unsightliness, noise, opposed to construction traffic for a week), and the people needed to shove the paperwork along.
Ha! That's wrong.

You see, even if "young utility focused entrepreneurs" don't like what CCP says, they can pretend they likes it and help spread it. It's called Lying, but people do it all the time. After that, when those entrepreneurs made enough money, they can live outside China and become a citizen of a country they like.

And lying is enough for CCP (or any government I assume) as long as that lie can keep most people loyal to them.

Also, "Young" is just a nature status, it's mean nothing about people's ideology. Lot's of young people joined Nazi in the old days, don't forget that.

Why do people fund projects on KickStarter or pre-order the latest iPhone? Sometimes people really want something and expect future scarcity, even if there's no chance of price appreciation.

The interesting thing about ICOs in this category is that there's a potential secondary market, so if there turns out to be significant scarcity, the price may rise, but if not, it's worthless (other than for its intrinsic value). But this isn't all that different from GMail invites circa 2004.
"The issue is that things change so quickly that generating such knowledge is economically useless."

That's a good point, and certainly part of the problem, but it does not detract from my point.

The bottom line is that we don't understand the software in the world around us and that it would be hopeless to try. Whether that's because of static complexity or dynamic complexity seems like a separate discussion.

Changing software on the scale that humans do is kind of like changing the laws of physics every year. Great to know that we understand some past snapshot of the software stack that we built, but not relevant to living in today's world.

“My cozy armchair felt like a red-hot frying pan and my legs went limp. I felt like I couldn't even stand up. That's how nervous I was when I was taking this decision,” he told RT.

How well would any of us have done in that situation? It's tempting to think that we'd have said no, don't launch. But picture yourself as a military commander, raised in that lifestyle. Then add the natural inclination to freeze up and make bad choices under pressure.

It's also a lesson in secrecy. We almost didn't hear about this story. It was kept secret for a decade. How many secrets are you sitting on, bound by your NDAs? Will you ever make the important ones public a decade later, or will you decide it's not your position, or that it might affect your career?

It's easy to rationalize that it isn't our position to say anything about what we know. But it's also too easy.

I wish it were possible to make a service that lets you upload encrypted notes that will be made public after your death. But those two requirements conflict.
I disagree entirely. Execution is everything. If a given person has a vision but doesn't know how to code, they can either learn or hire someone to implement those ideas.

Rust needs a CPU dispatcher underneath, so the thread and lock primitives can work. A minimal single-process multiple-thread OS, something like VxWorks, is all that's needed. This would probably be something you'd link with the program.

It's better to have one good one CPU dispatcher than making users roll their own crappy one for each application.

I'm not completely against it, so long as the content provider is transparent about it and as long as it is only active while I am browsing their site and isn't some malware like thing that turns my machine into a zombie. I feel like it would be easy to hijack and hide in a window process though so it just always runs when your browser is running. Even if Pirate Bay, et al doesn't do that...someone will or already has.

That's my feelings as well. There's always misinformation in elections and you're never going to eliminate it. The bigger issue is people falling for it and only paying attention to information that confirms their beliefs. I'm not sure what a practical solution is but having your election results rely on shielding the public from misinformation doesn't seem practical either. What do other countries do?
Wasn't about $2B spent on the election by each party?

If someone knew how to win an election with a $100k ad buy, they sure could have saved a lot of money. $100k is 0.00005 of a $2B budget.
The sea of printers at the office. How do you simplify when "you see the whole network" as you put it?
Slack lacks a truly broad network effect. Already loads of competitors with equivalent or better products - lots of people seem to be using telegram now. Whatsapp rooms are just as good too. They are really going to struggle to aggressively price such a commodity product.

Nelson was not a programmer. However, Mark S. Miller told me that he came up with http://e-drexler.com/d/09/00/AgoricsPapers/agoricpapers.html out of thinking about how to architect the full distributed Xanadu system. I believe Nick Szabo was heavily influenced by Miller's ideas in his first paper on smart contracts: it references Miller and mentions that Szabo did work for the company started up to commercialize those ideas (Agorics). It's not quite a coincidence that you think of blockchains.

I don't know how Xanadu was supposed to work on the inside. I do have a dim vague memory of seeing a mailing-list post many years later in response to someone seeking the earliest prior art on using content hashes for a distributed content-addressable store -- from someone in Xanadu. That's all I got in my memory. I want to say they also mentioned Merkle trees, but I may be confabulating. (I'd be surprised if Miller didn't know Merkle personally -- they both worked with Eric Drexler, and Drexler invented his ent just a few years after Merkle patented his tree.)

Robin Hanson published a paper back then with a non-Xanadu design sketch with similar goals: http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=43938 but it's paywalled. (Hanson also got involved with Xanadu for a little while.)
Seems to me like a major privacy/security issue!

On one hand, in SK a Samsung chief and heir and also former President are facing long prison sentences (some of the protests leading up to this were argued to be the largest peaceful protests in history, ever).*

On the other, in the US a convicted paedophile, Jeffrey Epstein, never spent a day in jail. He is a billionaire and very close friend of Bill Clinton's.

I am interested in historically how well the rule of law in the US has or has not applied equally to all citizens?

I spent about $200 on negative Hillary ads on Google. Anyone can buy ads. Hillary was about to ruin the 4 year college system in the United States by having the Government pay all tuition. There wouldn't be enough spots at schools as they are pretty impacted already so instead a bunch of questionable schools would be opened and the Government would be taken for a ride and go even further bankrupt.
And it does! That's what's maddening about it. The complexity always seems to justify itself, but the end results are probably not where we want to be.

>lets get it done as cheaply and with as little market distortion as possible.

Why do people act like they're paying for personally? This was already agreed upon by communication companies when they were allowed to monopolize much higher ROI urban markets. The whole point was that the high ROI markets would fund the development of the rest of the infrastructure.

Sandbagging the bandwidth of the rural markets is creating an information void that ends up sandbagging support for research and development in other areas.
Big disclaimer, I work for SUSE on the team for this product (though I actually work on upstream projects more than the product itself).

SUSE's "Container as a Service Platform"[1] has a one-page install for each node with an admin panel that does auto-provisioning. It also has transactional updates and a few other nice features similar to CoreOS's "Container Linux". In addition, we're working on openSUSE Kubic[2] which will be the community-developed base for CaaSP in the future.

I believe most if not all of the code is available on GitHub[3] under a free software license (because that's how we do things). Not to mention that you could very easily fork openSUSE Kubic, once it's ready.

Because so far every communist state has been created by violent revolutionaries side stepping the democratic process. The type of people who join a party that wants to shove the beliefs of 10% down the throats of the 90% are inherently authoritarian. Its no wonder they never become real democracies once they have total power.
The API doesn't have any additional fraud exposure.

The fraud exposure is due to identifying information, or access therein, being stored on and/or directly provided by the client in this model. Existing payment methods do not store billing information on the client devices as they are assumed to be untrusted.

Also, all major card networks - Visa,
MasterCard, AmEx - and many payment processors
- Stripe, Worldpay, etc - all actively
participate.

Card networks are not banks. Stripe is not a bank. Worldpay may be (I've never heard of them), but for the sake of discussion, I'll assume they are not a bank.

Banks are the CC account issuers and the processors "on the rails" of payment networks (Visa, MasterCard, Amex). Whether or not an ISO/VAR/merchant (Stripe, PayPal, eBay, Apple, Google, Amazon, etc.) wants this type of API is immaterial. If the banks aren't comfortable with it, someone is going to eat their discount rate hike (yes, ultimately this is the customer, but I'm talking about entities directly impacted by the hike).

At the same time I haven't heard any credible evidence to think that anything happened. Don't get me wrong, we should definitely move to replacing electronic recording machines with paper-based records. There's no reason to spread unfounded rumors, and plenty of reasons not to. If this is something you're concerned about, and it sounds like you are, do what you can to replace electronic recording machines with paper to strengthen the system.
Buffett clearly disproves this theory. The reason is it's ignoring the overwhelming impact of bias and mal-incentives. Hundreds of thousands of investors have professional training in valuation techniques Buffett uses. But 99% don't make the same use of that skill as Buffett does, for reasons that include

1) they can't buy in to using valuation as their sole investment criteria. They want to be "smarter", thinking they can see things others can't using psychology or charts or other pseudo sciences.
2) They fall sway to Mr Market ( read the Ben graham parable).
3) They can't sell value to clients and only want a strategy clients will pay for.
4) Buffett spends a great deal of time trying to make decisions free of bias. A CFA program teaches you nothing about this, but it's critical to good valuation work. For example, WEB does not want to know the stock price of a company he's analyzing until he's made his valuation estimate. He doesn't want to be biased into giving a too high valuation to a company he loves just to ensure he can buy it.

Lastly, there is a meta level to value investing. A great valuation at a current price isn't enough if the company lacks a competitive moat, or management can't be trusted to treat shareholders well. First level cigar butt value investors never learn this.
I believe I have seen this work in Leopard through Lion, particularly Snow Leopard. I remember re-making the addressing of my home network once I changed jobs and the internal subnets were no longer different. More recently, I no longer print with the same machine at both sites, I will check it out.

This is not an explicit option, such as a default setting for printer for a named network. What I noticed back then was that printers located on the unreacheable networks were never the default offering, provided the routing could be used to distinguish where I was. So, if both home and work networks were using 10.0.0/24, it would not work.

It may be possible that binding to the name of access points is a more clever way to do it today.
A competitive app would have:

- easy signup for public access

- integrations for killer apps in other verticals

- plugin architecture

- public and private apis

- mobile app(s) with 80% of core desktop functionality

- end-to-end encryption

Maybe it's sufficient to extend IRC. Add support for custom emojis & Giphy integration.

Voice, video conferencing and screenshare would be essential.

I've long thought "life is inevitable". Why? In a universe where every possibility plays out, some outcomes are bound to lead to life. [Diverse] Chaos => universal turing machines occurring somewhere + random codes being executed + sufficient computation => life.

I'd love to see these notions made rigorous. Somehow they appear obvious to me.

Order (i.e. life) is necessary to reach the ultimate unordered state (i.e. a cosmic soup of energy)? Now that's a pretty non-trivial statement.

My understanding is that trading on non-public info isn't a crime unless both parties benefit. The behavior I'm referring to was sharing tips with the expectation of getting tips in return at a later date. As far as I know, it's not possible to prove that's illegal.

Also, it's not like actual illegal behavior is uncommon when it's hard to prove, and it's not like a lot of people aren't proud of it. Watch Jim Cramer's interview with Jon Stewart as an example and the reaction to Wolf of Wall Street as another.

In business school, a friend asked me to recommend firms where he could do some quiet insider trading by tipping off relatives who would trade on his behalf. He ended up at MF Global.

There aren't statistics on this kind of thing, but my experiences have all told me succeeding as a hedge fund requires breaking the same rules as everyone else, not unlike doping in pro sports.
