> What do I have to do to trigger it? Just fail a bunch of SSH logins in a row?

Yes, that's what I do. If you have SSH login via password disabled (you should) then just temporarily move your private key(s) out of your ~/.ssh directory and try logging in a few times. "ssh user@machine && ssh user@machine && ssh user@machine" will do it if you have a ban set for three failed attempts. If it's working, your target machine should no longer respond at all, and connections will time out. If it's a web server the site should be unreachable with your web browser until after the bantime passes.
I don't take anyone seriously who casually calls something like Bodega an "offensive idea", as if this is the most natural thing to do. A name choice ca be bad without the whole idea "being offensive". Lazy labels are bad for discourse.

(I've never moved my hobby past tinkering though, so take it with a grain of salt)
Opera (on Mac) for daily use, because of 1-key shortcuts, mouse gestures etc that I'm used to from being long time Opera user.

Chrome is on the side for all my webdev work (but references etc are open in either Opera or Dash). Keeps development stuff vs work/private surfing separate.
Weird, I find myself reverting to Google (or rather Startpage, !s) maybe once or twice a month, when I don't find satisfying results on DDG. And I'd say that in many if not most cases, I don't find good answers on Google then, either.

And I quite like using bangs, e.g. !w for Wikipedia or !i for images, rather than having to go to the initial search results on the search engine and then clicking again.

Finally, I like that on DDG, you can just arrow up/down through the search results, and then open one with enter (or cmd-enter to open it in a background tab), without reverting to the mouse.
I still don't understand - does DDG have its own crawler and index, or is it outsourcing all that to third parties?

If the second, as I suspect, it's not really long-term viable anyway, is it.
Memory leaks are not the same as memory safety problems.
Great concept! I love discussing books I read but it's always so hard to find people to do it :)
yes. But they also have credit card accounts, hardware wallets as well as paper wallets. If you keep your coins offline (if you're holding), they won't get hacked.
It's worth noting that the !g bang redirects you to encrypted.google.com, it's more secure but results are often different from a regular www.google.com search. It bugged me for a while not knowing why some queries returned unusual results. ( more here https://duck.co/forum/thread/2880/remove-the-encrypted-subdo... )

First off - no one has been dragged off, they are merely preventing the exchange operators (that are originally resident in China anyway) from leaving the country until they execute an orderly shutdown. i.e. No holidays for now, we don't want you doing a MarkK. Also, we are talking China here not NK, but don't let the facts get in the way of your point. Btw, you do have "temporary injunctions" in other parts of the world too.
Did you read the article? That very statement by the founders is discussed and contextualized within. Where's the lie?
It's not always possible with specialized hardware whose drivers are not even properly documented.

Of course, mandating blob-free open-source for all government purchases would have solved this mess right at the start. The only reason it's not mandated now is that some vendors would be excluded for being unable or unwilling to comply.

Yes, that can happen.

However in some of those languages those type of assignments are only allowed in unsafe code, for example in Modula-3 you can only do that in an unsafe module package and the target variable has to be declared as UNTRACED REF.

In short, for the people who don't have the back story. Catalunya wants to hold a independence referendum, Spanish Judicial System says it's illegal to hold a referendum. Catalan politicians are pushing forward anyways.

Before the weekend, the Spanish Judicial System gave a warning to anyone who helps spreading material about the referendum, or is involved in any way. Catalans are still pushing forward to hold the vote on the 1st of October. This lead to this morning's arrests of mayors around Catalunya. And now, Spanish Judicial System decided that the organization behind the .cat TLD is somehow involved in the referendum as well.

Previously on "Catalunya VS Spain" also includes Spanish Judicial System taking down informational websites about the referendum, such as http://referendum.pirata.cat (which is a mirror of the one which existed on http://referendum.cat but is now shut down)

AFAIK it is the second.
Certainly lots of features I'd enjoy but I couldn't find the source and builds logs so I was a bit dubious - after doing some research it appears to be closed-source and proprietary software.

While I'm not saying it's bad because it's closed source, a web browser has access to a _lot_ of personal (meta)data and is certainly not something I'm about to trust to some black-box software that's not under review by the many.
The wikipedia-in-certain-language bangs are very useful, indeed.
Because you will get into the scenario of commercial vendors basing their ISAs on RISC-V ISA with extensions not made available to the community.

Thus making the base RISC-V ISA kind of useless for software that one might actually care about.
Write a whole article about DuckDuckGo, and don't mention bang searches. !py searches the Python documentation, !w searches Wikipedia, !g searches Google, !a searches Amazon, and better yet, !gde, !wde, and !ade search the German Google, Wikipedia, and Amazon.

For natural language queries, I use !g, because Google is better at this sort of thing. For local queries I use !gde, because Google has better map integration. For most everything else, I prefer DDG, because it doesn't "did you mean DickDickGo?", and it doesn't "I don't know what you're looking for, but here are five ads instead".
As a German user, results have been good whenever I use regional search.

There's way too much for me to know it all about Bitcoin but say I want to learn more about building a blockchain, is there a spec for just that from the Bitcoin spec, or is the spec all inclusive? I have to admit I never read the original paper(s) I just mined BTC back in 2009 when I (somehow) heard about it, and have left it alone since. Funnily enough I was ignoring it all, till I realized my mining pool had all my BTC so I transfered it out (nothing significant enough, but just enough to allow me to peek curiosity again). I'm curious if anyone has designed their own Blockchain based tech that is focused on that aspect that has several industries interested in Blockchain technology. Minus any Bitcoin specifics that is.

The article is not centered around the choice of name, it's an example. The offensiveness, to the author, comes from more than that.
Calling 'consciousness' 'soul without an afterlife' is just as much a word game as any other - which is to say that if it is offered as the starting point of a discussion, it is not simply a word game, but if it is declared to be the answer, then it is.

I don't think the circularity is there, because while there do not seem to be other animals today with the same sort of consciousness as humans, we can reasonably assume that some of our now-extinct ancestors had various levels of consciousness, whatever it is.

We are indeed groping around here like 18th-century scientists trying to make sense of heat. I don't think that makes it pointless, but we should be suspicious of the claims of either physicalists or dualists who think that they have proven the other side is wrong (though my instincts are with the physicalists.)
China might have an easier time discouraging capital flight if it weren't the sort of place where entrepreneurs have to worry about their entire industries becoming illegal and possibly finding themselves in jail overnight.
That's a good point. I did read similar comments to yours in this thread (such as the nearby one by andrewstuart2, and others), before posting about my vi tutorial, and agree with the general argument stated. I've grown from scratch in my own career by the same method you and others describe, i.e. doing a lot of self-study, trying out stuff a lot, poring over tech docs and books a lot (used to buy used ones earlier, when I could not afford too many new ones), borrowing from libraries, etc.

Edit: And have always recommended such an approach to younger developers and aspiring ones, when they ask me for advice, which sometimes happens. Basically tell them to learn as much as you can and invest in your future (with study effort, not only money) for the long term, not just for quick immediate gains.
It doesn't matter when they said it. It should be self evident to anyone that it's true. You can't replace a store with ~1000 products with a vending machine that stocks ~30.
Greece would have been perfectly fine without the Euro. It is the Euro, Goldman and Sachs, Greek politicians and Deutche Bank that have bankrupted it.

That was an unnecessarily angry article. A much more measured one (though still very cutting) one is here: https://www.eater.com/2017/9/13/16302386/bodega-startup-corn...

Also has some very valid sounding criticism of their entire business model.
You can't predict the future, when ARPANET was developed they didn't have the internet in mind as it is today, but it was a new technology which evolved and will keep to evolve.

I think it will be the same with Bitcoin, it might be dead if it will stay in the form that it is today but my guess is that it won't be the case.

Rightly or wrongly, there are people here in the US that make it a hobby to become offended and make a big deal of how offensive it is. Obviously it would do everyone some good to use discernment with their actions, but everyone should also not try to look for how you can spin something that was probably tongue in cheek into something offensive. Is bodega a great idea? Probably not, but I don't know what the entire offering was, maybe the idea got funded because they were interested in a specific part of the whole idea. I would like to see people in the US realize that someone is going to do something they don't like and there is an option to ignore the behavior.
I'll keep my comments civil, but I really cannot say how absolutely evil, wrong, and arrogant that decision and attitude are, and how much I hate and despise Chrome on account of this and similar intentional design crippling and abuse.

(I've filed a number of bugs on several of them, based on the experience, I simply won't bother in future. It's absolutely clear that Google's goal is to driver users such as myself far, far away. Why should I fight that?)

I'll point though to the tyranny of the minimum viable user, and a rather massive Achilles' Heel Google have been manifesting of late.

A politician who implements the public opinion? Shocking!
This article is the first and only thing I’ve read about Bodega, and I the same thought as you.

You can do ok running vending machines, but it isn’t any kind of disruptive business. I wonder what kind of spin they put on Bodega to sell it to investors.
Franco is back, was the summary in German news. It was the typical fascist tactics to abuse police for such measures.

Out of all the businesses Bain Capital's private equity arm has listed in the link below, how many of them follow the template you've described?

The author literally dehumanizes the founders and all tech workers, calling them "machines" and "things in suits". What a terrible, clickbaity article.
I use it daily at work and QuteBrowser. They have worked really great for my needs.

The backend is a basically a Chrome browser I don't see pages render incorrectly like I did with Opera.
If the startup were called "Vendoogle" or "Quikbox" I don't think there would be so much outrage.

Local mom & pop stores have been under assault by all kinds of well-funded rivals for decades, including CVS, Target Mini-Stores, gas station franchises, and bottling companies working with vending machine distributors. Nevertheless, the little corner stores still keep ticking in many areas thanks to goods and services not offered by these bigger competitors, including specialty food, extended hours, and money transfer services.

However, if Target were to rebrand their mini-stores as "Red Bodegas" or something similar there would be similar outrage. It's one thing to compete, it's another thing to play dirty by usurping the little guy's brand or throwing your weight around too much in a very obvious or threatening way.

If I were McDonald and Rajan, I would use this opportunity to rebrand to something more acceptable, offer a mea culpa, and maybe even figure out some way to work with real bodegas and local stores (shared distribution for certain items to lower costs? Machine learning for real bodegas' inventory? "Local" goods? Spillover sales?)
There’s a lot of hate and resentment in that article. Sure, maybe Bodega isn’t the brightest startup. But who cares? If it’s a bad idea, nature/market will make it go away.

If bodegas/corner stores whatever are worth it, people will continue to buy from there and Bodega nor any other “shiny” startup will stand a chance against them.

My guess is she doesn’t believe in freemarket and thinks that someone can simply kill corner stores by throwing money at a startup.
> Greece with its Drachma would have been a welcome victim for currency speculation. This was tried with the Euro, too, but it failed.

All pegs are a potential victim of currency speculation. The solution is to end the peg and let the currency float, as it happened to the British Pound/Deutche Mark during the Soros stunt in the 90s or more recently with the Euro/Swiss Franc peg.

According to environmentalists in Germany, nuclear and pro-environment are indeed mutually exclusive. But I prefer not to copy all of my opinions from the group I most agree with.

FWIW I think nuclear is good in principle, but neither states nor companies have proven responsible enough to handle it. So I'm kind of against nuclear but not in this dogmatic way.

The practical difference is that I think there should be further research to design inherently safe approaches and processes to reduce the risk until it's orders of magnitude safer - maybe something with Thorium, maybe fusion, maybe a new fission reactor design. Then I'd be in favor of using it.

The nuclear waste "killer argument" is mostly bullshit. Highly radioactive substances are spent quickly, long lived substances radiate weakly. 100000 years are quite predictable in geology.

Genes Color a Butterfly’s Wings. Now Scientists Want to Do It Themselves
Seriously, out of all the problems this start-up represents, the author chose to focus on cultural appropriation? Now the article did touch on other things as well, but the central point leaves a bad taste in my mouth. The author seems disconnected from reality, too. Want to talk about the real problem? Start with how such companies will affect the unskilled labour market.

Also: people publishing these articles are - like always - fast to write about how the tech culture is perceived, but also stubbornly refuse to take the responsibility for the fact that they're who create that perception in the first place. Juicero and Bodega are one but thousands of startups in SV. Yet they define the tech culture through them... because writing about those gives them most outrage-driven clicks, in a self-reinforcing loop of caricature.

I defer to SSC for the much saner critique of SV: http://slatestarcodex.com/2017/05/11/silicon-valley-a-realit...
Not many people here seem to have read the article, or read so quickly to misinterpret it. This is not a rant about 'appropriation' or naming choices - that's only one of the facets of ignorance by the founders discussed in the piece. More importantly, the author makes their case that some ideas, in particular that of a vending machine, are so disconnected from the daily lives of what the author might call 'normal people' that it's offensive to dump significant money into them (or wasted on them, I suppose). That latter part is, I believe, the real offending bit.
It depends on the "Bundesland"/state. Yes, there are exceptions but these are usually only disguises call shops who have some alcohol, cigarettes, newspapers, and maybe toast and some basic food.

I bet many people would care, but they would not persistently & vocally voice their discomfort for fear of retribution/confrontation.

In popular media? Complain to the broadcaster/studio/publisher, support organisations like the Italic Institute of America to do this on your behalf.

Why should you do that? Because you think that the stereotypes unfairly prejudice Italians who may be denied opportunities in those countries.

Most might agree, but you still need it to work without a phone with good interface and all the desired features.

Still not everybody has a smartphone. Or you have an older one and whatever software you need for the car isn't supported. Or you give the phone to the kid in the backseat to play a game...

And then having two very different ways to control stuff increases complexity. For developers and user.
The problem is, unfortunately, becoming a world-wide phenomenon, because the entire media industry runs on generating outrage to capture the audience.
Pragmatically, that is probably true, and bitcoin won't last for millenia either (e.g. if sha-256 has a weakness, or quantum computers render ecdsa useless).

Nevertherless, there is >0 probability of multiple harddrive failure, or much greater probability of incompetence, so there must be some rate of loss of bitcoins over time, and i'd be interested to know what that is.

I think it is interesting because once the speculation dies down, the market will set the fiat price of bitcoins according to the actual supply and demand, so this attrition has a real affect. For example, imagine if the coins believed to belong to Satoshi (1 million coins out of the current 16.5 million) were to move. The mere knowledge that they can be moved would increase the effective supply by 6-7% overnight, the effect could be dramatic.
it's important to note that this is for "mostly static scenes" so I'm not sure how suitable this is for games.

That's my point. Critics of their business model do sound valid, but people that are shocked about so-called "cultural appropriation" should, trying to be polite here, see more of our wonderful planet and really understand cultures, which are very, very, very different from the cultures you believe to witness when changing neighborhood in your town.
Thanks for the explanation, and I think that matches my mental model when people talk about those. But I've not even experienced that in small towns or villages where relatives or friends live.
