Performing economic actions that your govt doesn't approve of is illegal. Bitcoin is great for people that want to use it for illegal purposes. If that's the only use case for CC they will always have a place in human history, but I'm not sure they're really worth ~100B USD at this point, if there's no other major use case.
I actually have a rather good idea on how to do this. I was looking to solve the problem of religion, not frats, but in many ways frats and religions are very similar problems.

While I don’t want to go into details, the basic idea is to use technology to track and bank reciprocation as well as the problem of in-group identification. I thought it was clever, but it just got added to my ever expanding good idea list :)

Huh? Where have you been for the last month or two?
Eurorack analogue video is a thing. If you’re into learning more about modular synths I can highly recommend the docu-movie “I dream of Wires”.
Yes, good correction, thank you.
Although...different use-cases there, for me. I've got a dozen audio sources, either connected to speakers (the TVs) or within a couple feet of me when I'm using it (phone, media player, tablet, laptop). So, a bunch of sources, a couple of which I might be listening to at once. All either in short enough distance for cords, or loud enough that it's moot.

Wifi: The internet comes from one (inconvenient) place in the home that I can't choose. I've got a couple of powerline ethernet adapters, but I've also got a lot of devices that handle wifi, but not ethernet. The choice is between using wifi or skipping the network connection. It's great as a last- (or only)-resort connection option, and it's usually sufficient, but then my uses for it are usually pretty tame anyhow.
OSX makes these interfaces somewhat usable by providing a keyboard-driven filter for all menu items. Microsoft should copy this feature.

Out of curiosity what sorts of things do you watch on Coursera? I was a big fan in 2013-2014 and did a bunch of courses. Some of them, like the Scala course, were very self-contained and great, especially with the automated graders. Mostly, I found the platform frustrating, though.

The artificial pacing of the courses made it essentially impossible to go through any faster than you would in an an in person class. Also the honor code prevents people from actually helping each other when they're stumped in the forums. There's clearly some tension between my goal of learning and the platform's focus on credentialing (via credentials that carry almost no weight).

Many courses were watered down versions and since different institutions break up their coursework slightly differently, there was a constant problem of repeating material or missing parts of prerequisites. Now it seems nearly all the courses are watered down and most don't seem to have any prerequisites at all.

Is it possible to do an entire technical degree's worth of material on Coursera, even at the undergrad level? Regardless of the value of their own certificates and capstone projects, if a student could learn enough to pass a GRE subject test, that credential that would actually carry some weight.
Why replace BSD + patent grant with MIT, instead of keeping BSD alone without a patent grant?
Incidentally I just wrote up some thoughts today on what Bitcoin is: https://grisha.org/blog/2017/09/22/bitcoin-value/

In some way it is fiat, Satoshi's fiat, but that's not the same as USD. The most puzzling thing is how things like Bitcoin get priced, since it's just a number, but I haven't finished my research on it yet.
> They're designed such that, for the virus to adapt to one, it has to make itself more susceptible to one of the other two.

That's not really accurate. HAART works because the 3 drugs are taken simultaneously, and it's extremely unlikely for a virus to get random mutations that confer resistance to all three in one generation.

Life is dangerous, and it is more valuable to work to educate people on the danger around them than to try banning it by rewriting reality to treat dangers like they don't exist by outlawing them.

It is why kids think "that cannot happen to me". Because its criminal. Because its the plight of the "other". Because its told like a monster in a fable rather than a fact of life and an emergent property of our society and biology.
Kinda reminds me of all the people confidently predicting the demise of Google before the "ridiculously overvalued" IPO. There was even an entire web site devoted to it called fuckedgoogle.com. Needless to say, it went out of business waiting for Google to go out of business.

Really? Almost everywhere else in the world, not wearing a suit to an interview is a weak negative signal, as it shows you're unlikely to be able to put up with even small amounts of the inherent corporate bullshit that occurs in companies. Even if you'll never wear a suit once employed.

I'm not disagreeing, I just want to know more.

> and nobody is giving diabetes a whirl to address a sociological condition

Actually, yes, they are. There's no more perfect disease that you could have chosen to disprove your own argument.

Adult-onset diabetes is almost always a variant of substance addiction. It's just that we classify the drug "food" and sell it in the grocery store. But we shouldn't kid ourselves, sugary, highly-processed "foods" are a drug that is intended to be every bit as addictive as alcohol. The sugar high is like being drunk, the subsequent crash is like a hangover and diabetes is like the liver damage that results from alcoholism. The two diseases are remarkably similar.
Every time I make a negative comment about React, I get a ton of downvotes. So this time, I'd like to applaud the React legal team for this momentous decision. I will now consider using React in future projects.

But I'll still look for a framework with better separation of view and controller logic. And incremental DOM.

I don't think the point eluded the author, at all. The article pretty clearly talks about financial innovation throughout history and then how it got coopted by states. The author seems pretty familiar with the history of finance and economics, actually.

Which is long enough for you to complete your lunch! :-)
Do you add a break up clause to prevent this?
That makes no sense.

The government should prevent bad things from happening, but they won't have any framework or enforcement mechanisms for doing so.

What do you think corporate (and other) regulations are for? How do you think they are enforced? You want the government to stop people from dumping poison in a river and killing people and animals hundreds of miles downstream, and do it without an EPA or environmental regulation, not even a definition of what "poison" is, much less written penalties for putting it in the environment uncontrolled. If you don't agree on something and write it down you'll be stuck arguing the details for years and years every time there is a dispute.

"You are poisoning the water and killing people!"
"Nope, this stuff isn't that dangerous, it must be one of the hundreds of other factories dumping in this river."
"We know your stuff is dangerous!"
"I don't see that anywhere on here. I say it's safe. You want to spend the next 10 years in court arguing over this? Because I will, and all of your plantiffs will be dead before the case is over and I'll win by default."
Sure, but someone else could pretend that they were you, with your DNA. They'd need to fake the "fresh sample" part, but that's doable.
Maybe that's so but do you really think you can change the license or all open source projects from companies? That's a fantasy.
The rural hospital closure crisis: 15 key findings and trends (2016)
I was a pack a day smoker - I quit a couple years ago.. well quit isn't the right word - I transferred my addiction to another form of nicotine (snus/dipping tobacco, as well as lozenges) - I think the part I miss most of all is the social aspects of smoking, the enjoying instant comradere with some people - it made me a better storyteller, a better and more eloquent speaker - basically helped me to a great extent shave all the rough edges off I had as a kid - it also gave me an instant social group to hang out with at work too.

I dip now, which is a slightly more exclusive club (there just seems to be fewer of us) but there is subreddit for it - that is just as supportive and friendly as r/cigarettes though - r/DippingTobacco posts are a bit weirder.

Are these ideas (and the 'address space of objects') elaborated on somewhere?

> A data structure is something that allows fields to be "set" from the outside. This is not a good idea. My original approach was to try to tame this, but I then realized that you could replace "commands" with "requests" and imperatives with setting goals.

I agree with in principle - but I'm having trouble imagining computing completely without data structures though (and am reading 'Early History of Smalltalk' to see if it clicks.)

It's less about what you did in school and more about your network outside of school.
Yeah, I'm mainly referring to those you mentioned. But smart contracts in general allow tons of new use cases, which are furthered by those types of ground-level advancements. It will take years to sort out, there will be scams and useless schemes that repeat the mistakes of history as the article claims, but then there will be others.

If predicting that unimaginable benefits will flow from this space, analagous to the early days of the web when people's understandable first ideas were to put newsletters & mail-order catalogs online, makes me sound like a naive blockchain cultist, so be it; but then again, what forum am I on right now?

Python v3.4.0 had a feature regression which hijacked TAB for autocomplete and prevented using TAB for indentation in the basic REPL. To my amazement, there was actually discussion on whether converting a TAB to 4 spaces was a worthwhile feature.

Happily, the TAB was recovered.

> I can guarantee no one really cares about your GPA

When a buddy of mine was interviewing at hedge funds, a few of them didn't just want his undergrad GPA, but also his high school SAT scores. He actually got shit from one of the interviewers because his French SAT scores were shady... the dude had a few years of finance experience and a PhD in theoretical physics. YMMV.

I'm not sure how you mean "mobilize". If things weren't too bad, that would be a good thing. But if things got really bad, at least some of them would go feral. Trained and armed. Or just be looking for work and food.
> And an unregulated market multiplies opportunities for those who are willing to earn their own living by their work

I don't think that's true. Unregulated markets can result in a number of situations that limit people's opportunities significantly. Monopolies are a clear example and various externalities can also have significant impacts on commerce. To maximize the opportunities we need carefully tuned regulation. The problem is that our political systems for creating and enforcing that regulation are, shall we say, "a little broken".
Hmm yeah I think that would be a good option. One potential problem with that is running tests on the individual packages. I believe that the vendor folder would have to be in a descendant folder. So like... "./vendor", or "../vendor", "../../vendor", and so on. If the vendor folder was in "./cmd/vendor", and you ran the test "go test ./pkg/example", it would not find the vendor folder.

My solution was just to not commit the vendor folder, and before the test starts, run "dep ensure".
Definitely so. Even though it's rarely an issue today, I cannot escape thinking of title-safe and action-safe [0] while editing.

No, it only puts power in the hands of the big players. It might mean the big players can't sue each other, but they can absolutely sue the smaller companies. BSD + Patents only "disarms" anyone who's actually using the licensed software, and perhaps more importantly, depending on it to the extent that they can't reasonably move away if they lose the patent grant. Even if Facebook did start using OSS from some small company, they could probably just rewrite the software themselves if they want to sue the company.
'Maintenance' sounds like a takeover without compensation. Surely with $3 billion in revenues Redhat should have a open source fund to sustain people whose code they use? Shouldn't some money find its way back to all the open source projects?
We don't have plans to sell subscriptions for managed instances. We found that it was not a great experience for customers unless we would do lots of development to make it work better. And then still you always have spend time making modifications that a customers request.

Some 28.7% of sites use Wordpress.* Curiously, I've seen the 19% number being cited as 19% of all new websites use Wordpress. I'm not sure how 19% becomes 28.7%, but it may just be that sites using WP stick around longer.

Since I can't edit, noting here that the minimum key size required here was 80 bits, so apparently the 32-bit-block version was never really considered. Yay! (Search for 'ISO' in https://iadgov.github.io/simon-speck/papers/Algorithms-to-Su...) The Reuters story made it sound a bit like this was a topic of debate, when the IAD doc makes it sound like more of an assumption from the start.

The grump in me still sees a pretty narrow niche for this sort of algo (like, maybe most considering it should just be using AES?), but whatever.
This is 99% of the way to a correct solution. But I think it would be better if pressing Escape would dismiss the help screen, rather than another press of F1, so that the few people who intent to use help don't accidentally dismiss it.

But nitpicks aside, this is the correct solution, because it captures the core insight: the user should never fear pressing the wrong key. The ultimate irony in violating this rule is when you've conditioned your users that the most dangerous thing they can do is ask for help.
The fraternity I was in charged about $175 a quarter. We didn't have a house yet, as a newer fraternity, so several of us rented a house together. Usually, 5 of us lived in the house, so we split rent 6 ways, and fraternity dues paid a 6th person's share of the rent. We ran college parties as fundraisers, charging $5 for unlimited beer and "jungle juice". (We started at $5, then shrewd bros would raise the price near $30 by midnight.)

I learned how to read a room, operate a night club, talk to (and avoid) police, be drunk without causing a scene, run meetings, talk to people to get stuff done, manage projects, and act normally in awkward situations.
This has been near the top of my "app ideas" notebook for 10 years, and I've never found any serious attempt out there. I view this as a game theory problem, whose solution would be facilitated by a social network that modeled whatever the problem is. If it ever succeeded, it would probably be in continual hazard of turning into that Black Mirror episode about reputation scores.

> Could you expand on that point please because my understanding of the term monopoly, "the exclusive possession or control of the supply of or trade in a commodity or service." would align with the point the other commenter is raising.

pbhjpbhj's comment implies that by addressing a niche market, you would avoid the drive to monopolize. I'm arguing that if you are addressing a niche market, you are working to monopolize that market, and you don't have to monopolize the whole market of similar services to be a monopoly. For example, Microsoft has a monopoly (in this case a government one) on producing Microsoft Windows, but Microsoft Windows is not the only PC operating system.

Similarly, you could monopolize a certain demographic. For example, Microsoft has an effective monopoly in PC operating systems when it comes to government administration workstations in most countries.
I would go with volume and active wallets (not addresses) using it.
I mean, even if good exchanges exist they can never really guarantee instantaneous transfer from one to another because there's really no way to guarantee demand for a cryptocurrency. Hundreds of them have cropped up that you probably couldn't pay someone to take now, and a rush on one of the big ones isn't even inconceivable.
Government-backed fiat currency is also by far the most successful and most useful. People object on abstract principle but it's been nothing short of miraculous for human development.
hi guys,

currently i am testing the coin-hive xmr miner on our video hosting
called www.rapidvideo.com , but we have a opt-in window to ask the
vistors for permission or not. The example is seen here:
https://www.rapidvideo.com/e/FH8C3B1JK7

The goal was to find out the percentage, if the normal users accept it
running or not, because I was asked to do the test.

Right now, we just started it and right now, its at circa 95% users clicking no, but
the acceptance is slowly increasing in long term. For most users, they rather want to see popups than lending some CPU cycles for us.

The main issue is that the antivirus software is blocking this kind of software and some users will get the wrong idea, that it is false-oostive.
