Thanks for the links! I haven't looked at multi-markdown before, but I had looked at a variety of pandoc/markdown/latex solutions in the past. In truth, it's still on my radar and I do think that pandoc represents a really nice, powerful toolchain that is more flexible than latex in many ways. Though, to be sure, they solve related, but different problems. That said, there are a couple of fiddly things that I have not had the chance to investigate such as the algorithmic generation of text, which I alluded to in other posts.

In any case, yes, I think that pandoc may work well. Right now, the two approaches that I'd like to experiment with more are the pandoc/markdown/latex toolchain as well as LuaTex.
I totally did this. I got my stuff up on AWS with a Cassandra backend. I launched that site and realized how silly it was. My mentality has definitely shifted to build something simple and get users.
Are there historical examples of states imposing social control while also succeeding technologically? I can only think of the counter examples.
I would say the relationship is this one:

First, Ethereum was found to be the perfect Ponzi scheme platform by dubious “ICO“ initiators.

Then, early investors made a huge bunch of money on these ICOs.

Then the price skyrocketed, as more people wanted some of that easy ICO money.

This in turn made the mixing services insanely popular, as all of those ICOs had to cash out, and knowing that their business was of dubious nature, many decided to obfuscate the target addresses of their ether via mixers to protect either OTC buyers or their personal accounts on exchanges from being linked with the ICO addresses.

No. That's called "a bug".

They have as long as I can remember, but the volume has skyrocketed over the past year along with more exchanges.

I don't understand how the author could group all temporary addresses, see the top inputs/outputs as all exchanges, and then claim some nefarious mixer was responsible.
Salman Khan started Khan Academy after extensive hours spent tutoring family members & friends, IIRC. That's not quite classroom experience, but it's also much more than some random fresh out of college grad starting an education startup just because YC said they were interested in them.
I've been playing around with Clang and I can't find any flags that avoid this problem, other than -O0.

Oh, but if you add a second "NeverCalled" function that sets the pointer to something else, the optimization is skipped and you get a bus error at runtime.

No flags I can find, not -Wall -Wextra -Werror, warn me at compile time that anything unusual might be going on.

This is weird. I understand the explanation of the optimization, but a) isn't this rather unreasonable behavior? and b) couldn't there at least be a flag that skips this optimization, without having to disable all optimizations?

Maybe this UB propagation / dead code elimination idea is so deeply ingrained in Clang's design that it would simply be impossible to selectively remove it. If so, that seems very unfortunate.
That was my first thought. Everything they describe sounds exactly like temporary exchange deposit addresses. And the transaction volume associated with them sounds about like what i'd expect.
From having browsed through the tax lot photos in the municipal archives from prior generations, it would be fun to see a split view where you browse around both the 1940s and 1980s at the same time.

If you browse around 80s Williamsburg photos it is not a place you would want to be. Now every one of those lots would be a minimum of $1M, with waterfront lots in the tens of millions. Pays to play the long game.
In addition, the VC model isn't particularly well suited for this.

How many generations will it take for parents to accept en masse a radically redesigned approach to schooling? A big part of schooling is babysitting + credentialing, you can't disrupt that over a few years with so much of society relying on those functions.
We don't need it because errors in any particular value aren't important - the calculations assume an amount of inherent error greater than that produced by the hardware.
I don't understand, how would having a higher pay disqualify you for a position? Has this happened to you?
No. If wallets A and B send 1ETH each to Z, and then Z sends 1ETH to X and 1ETH to Y, you already can't tell whose money is where.

Although China has such a large market (and potential to close the market if need be) that not being able to expand outside of China won't be a problem for a long time.
An argument could be made that this is why their large investments in movies and entertainment has failed outside the homeland.
It's speculative how much of the Japanese company design/assemble in the US is from trying to serve the market more closely, and how much is from trying to align with current or potential US trade restrictions. I think one might argue that there is a similarity of motivation in the US preserving auto industry capability in-nation with China wanting to develop tech capability in-nation. The motivation is similar, but the implementation is different.

I do agree there could be a "Galapogos Island" effect, I just don't know how to predict which industry will experience it vs the opposite. I wonder if someday the US will be the Galapagos in that relation though with the sheer size of China and it's possibility to trade with near neighbours India and Indonesia.

I think you are trying to mince words. Renegotiating and finalizing aren't the same thing. Just because the renegotiation failed doesn't mean there wasn't any renegotiating going on. Just because I didn't accept an offer doesn't mean I didn't negotiate.

ZCash is ideal, theoretically. If they get the performance amped up so that private transactions don't take forever, it could really work cause they could make privacy mandatory. Though a 10% tax of all coins is rather questionable. The CEO of the company did say he felt zcash could be made traceable enough to be uninteresting to money launderers, whatever that means. Sounds like the opposite of fungible.

Monero's less theoretically secure, and indeed, there's no info on how to safely "launder" coins through Monero. Ringsize is very small, at 5. But it seems to be a proper community effort and probably the best contender right now.

Dash is mired in mishaps, from its inception and instamine as Darkcoin. A single user or group of users hold magical keys that can undo 24 hours of blocks. They have centralized nodes and the mixing scheme isn't even theoretically secure.
True, but it isn't a 'lie' to type in a password and unlock a device, if the device is completely unlocked. But on such technicalities interesting case law can be built.
Yes we'd have to accept some would benefit more than others. But the idea is education as whole would improve and everyone benefits.

Ansible is clientless and the easiest orchestration system to setup, which is why I mentioned it, but I only use it in some scenarios like setting up a server for a specific task.

Services like the ELK (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana) stack and their variables include adding repositories, installing the software, configuring it, and Ansible makes sure that I get the same result no matter if it's an older generation VM, or if it has a different Linux distro.

That way in case of any failure or if any service needs to be scaled, a single Ansible run will do all the tasks for me and get my machine(s) ready and identical to each other.

Chef is used on a daily basis in a similar manner, but basically for standardization, making sure all the settings, users, critical files are the same after every run.

This is very useful for bootstraping new VMs and keeping old ones in order in two main scenarios - a client/user makes changes that they shouldn't have and a regular Chef run makes it standardized again and making simple global changes like adding a new resolver, adding a cron job or installing a new package.

I can't imagine not using them on a daily basis, but that's because of the 1500+ servers I manage.
That the user can turn off these features by booting into safe mode is beside the point...users can't be expected to do that when installing an app.

Imagine the drop-off rate in your funnel if one of your steps was "boot into safe mode and run these special commands to turn off SIP". Apps that need kernel extensions are rare, but the ones that do aren't just niche developer apps. The office worker running VMWare Fusion to run an old Windows program or any Dropbox user with the Smart Sync feature are all semi-technical audiences that need kernel extensions for their programs to work.

IMHO, the end game for this is that Apple will continue to lock down what apps can do until they have the same level of control on Mac that they do on iOS.

Yeah I like spritz, but also like Spreed better.
Yes, that configuration still works [1].

DeathToDSStore [2] works as well, but like Asepsis it requires you to disable SIP, and that's very much not recommended!

I wonder if its possible to hook into Spotlight real-time (with mdfind?) and just delete them right after its created. Together with disabling it on networks that should be "good enough" to not see them. Might be problematic with removeable media such as USB sticks though. If you're sync/unmounting those via command line, consider a find with xargs [3] on that media before unmounting.

I haven't looked at Blue Harvest as already suggested. If that still works (without disabling SIP) I'm curious how they do that.

Except no large systems support receiving shielded zcash transactions because of the CPU and RAM involved. They recently made some improvements, but it still takes many seconds of solid CPU time. Maybe in the future it'll be fast enough to be practical and they can make it the default.

There are many other "official" jquery CDNs (well, there is a real official one by jquery powered by someone else, and there are Google/Microsoft/etc. ones which are listed on: http://jquery.com/download/). Just don't use the Google one and you're ok. If you're worried about future blocks, just keep monitoring (there are services that tell you if a domain is blocked in China or not), and switch your jquery CDN if one is blocked. Microsoft one is almost surely going to be OK (at least for a long time).
Bill Gates admits quantum computing leaves him baffled
Let's say you hand me a $100 bill, and that you have marked that bill. I then take that bill to a bank and ask for 3 $20 bills and 4 $10 bills. The bank takes that $100 and puts into the vault, and takes out the bills I asked for out of the vault. Later, someone comes in with $100 worth of bills, and asks for a $100 bill. The bank goes to the vault and gets the marked $100 and gives it to that customer.

Tracking the bill doesn't help, because as soon as it's in the bank, what happens to it (and how it's exchanged), is hidden from you. Mixers work the same way.
This is a great example of space exploration that could produce technology relevant for applications on Earth: If you have a complex machine that can do usefuk work on Venus, you can use a similar concept for ultra-durable equipment here. Stuff like this could be relevant for deep sea exploration, nuclear applications, mining and so on.
Just because you don't want to pay directly doesn't mean it's not valuable. Value is hard to judge and people will definitely start to care if it all stopped.
Of course academics don't have access to truly big data, so this amounts to saying that they can't publish anything. That's fine with me but I don't think the academic CS establishment will agree.

> And much of that white flight was due to the Federal government funding interstates to the suburbs and subsidizing mortgage loans for whites only that made suburban houses cheaper for white middle-class families to live in than urban apartments. .

That study is for "1934–1968". The civil rights act (1969) made that type of discrimination illegal and included provisions to incentivize the reduction of segregation, yet I've read that nearly 50yrs later housing segregation is still today higher (or as high) than before the civil rights act.

I'm sure that federal policy played a big role in white flight but I'm curious why it hasn't reversed despite these changes... there must be other forces still at play here, that or we're seeing a multi-generational side-effect of bad policy.

But regardless it's interesting to think that so much government policy did the exact opposite of help the poor at federal, state, and city level... from city budgeting of fire stations to mortgage incentives to rent control and zoning laws, etc.

ok. that's interesting. i guess it's fair to question Mr. Zuckerberg's motives.

i say that because i think very very few people in the US would, given the chance, ask the leader of a foreign ancestral nation to name their firstborn child. a grandparent or a close personal friend, yes, plausibly -- but a political leader you don't even know?

but, maybe there's some sort of qualifying condition here. maybe what they meant was the child's "Chinese name" which would be distinct from the child's name for day to day and legal use?
I would say it is not actually a mixer. The point you are making actually points more towards them being temp addresses for exchanges. More people entering the market on exchanges, higher volume in exchanges, higher volume in this tempwallet "mixer"
Thereby proving the OP's point. lol.
Yes the motivation was crystallography and giving a small amount of group theory background was about providing the groundwork for talking about it.
Dennis E. Taylor, mainly for his Bobiverse Series (only thing I've read by him).

I think he's not very well known, but his Triology fits the theme very well: It is about the engineer Bob, who is uploaded as a "replicant" into a spaceship. Humanity mostly wipes it self out using nukes after they got the Bob failsafe away into space, and Bob gets too deal with the remnants of humanity. He replicates himself, too the point that the Bobs can host a Bobmoot and vote on things. Due to being immortal, some Bobs starts calling humans ephemerals, wheras others are offended at the implication that they're not human.

It's a very interesting and entertaining read. I'm also writing this from the top of my head and have only read this triology by him.

Restoring consciousness with vagus nerve stimulation
Why is the link at the top of this article ('cyber•Fund') to https://cyber.fund/system/Paragon, a page for 'Paragon', a very shifty high-budget ICO?

Given the other things Paragon has paid big bucks for (anything you can imagine, from paying Youtubers 5 figures per video to get their subscribers to 'invest' in them to paying for mass reddit vote manipulation to buying very expensive ads and sponsorship programs to lying about their company model, CEO, etc), it seems really out of place to me that this article links to them as the first link.
I am guilty of the original sin. I have made my provocative comment before reading the article - I assumed it's about SF in general, primarily written SF based on the domain name.

The much more plausible hypothesis is that Apple doesn't care about the Mac app store because they realize it's failed.

The users that can't be expected to boot into recovery mode are the users who shouldn't be loading kernel extensions. Making the system relatively safe by default, with obnoxious ways of subverting those protections for people who (unlike me) want the option of a foot-gun seems like a good balancing act.

> Women take on more work too, it is just not paid work

Well, yes. I did say "take care of their kids".

As for paid vs unpaid work, see::
http://stats.oecd.org/index.aspx?queryid=54757

In most western countries, men and women do roughly the same amount of total work. For men, more paid than unpaid. For women, the other way around.

So again, just focussing on "women have it bad" misses a big part of the picture.

> I am aware that there are two sides to this story and men have their own concerns

Apparently not.

> But, the open hostility towards women you are displaying ...

is a self-serving lie.

> Your pattern of comments here looks pretty toxic to me

I acknowledge your position, agree that you deserve alimony, express caution that showing one side of the picture isn't a good approach, and show how the choices men and women make each have their pros and cons.

You show one side of the story, and express shock and outrage that someone dare bring up the other side.

And then you call me hostile and toxic?

Please, that's just pathetic.
