My father was a long haul furniture mover for 35 years. This article was spot on from stories I have heard...as well as what I saw riding along with him and working for a month. Freight haulers tend to disrespect the furniture movers quite often and the furniture movers tend to view the freight haulers as lazy since they don't load their own trucks.

It is a difficult business...very physically demanding. What finally ended my father's driving career was 3 back surgeries in a 10 year span. They finally had to tell him that not only could he not load his own truck anymore (he still did after the first 2) but that he could no longer sit for long periods of time just to drive.

He amassed over 1M safe driving miles at the end. After that he went on to drive school buses so at least his skills were still put to use.
is this actually for real or some kind of rick roll episode?
yeah this makes more sense
True. But AFAIK gitlab.com doesn't limit number of members for a project.
"Mutation" in the sense of a single subtype stochastically accumulating mutations to its own genome is not what causes the emergence of most new pathogenic subtypes - its antigenic drift via genomic reassortment in co-infected hosts.

New subtypes / serotypes that are highly pathogenic to humans usually develop when multiple different subtypes co-infect and replicate in the same cell of an infected host. This can lead to "reassortment" of the genes in pool of replicating viral genomes. Most of the time when this happens the resulting hybrid genomes are probably too screwed up to be viable, but sometimes it leads to new genomic assortments that are viable and remix the pathogenic genes of one donor subtype with the surface coat proteins of a different subtype, resulting in a new subtype that is both pathogenic and antigenically novel to the host species. This is why we need to constantly make new influenza vaccines as fast as possible.

This page explains it better than I did:

"Influenza A viruses have eight separate gene segments. The segmented genome allows influenza A viruses from different species to mix and create a new virus if influenza A viruses from two different species infect the same person or animal. For example, if a pig were infected with a human influenza A virus and an avian influenza A virus at the same time, the new replicating viruses could mix existing genetic information (reassortment) and produce a new influenza A virus that had most of the genes from the human virus, but a hemagglutinin gene and/or neuraminidase gene and other genes from the avian virus. The resulting new virus might then be able to infect humans and spread easily from person to person, but it would have surface proteins (hemagglutinin and/or neuraminidase) different than those currently found in influenza viruses that infect humans.

This type of major change in the influenza A viruses is known as “antigenic shift.” Antigenic shift results when a new influenza A virus subtype to which most people have little or no immune protection infects humans. If this new influenza A virus causes illness in people and is transmitted easily from person to person in a sustained manner, an influenza pandemic can occur."

A few people got unlisted numbers but that was generally because they were public figures to one degree or another

Probably a bigger reason that "few" people got unlisted numbers was because it actually cost extra per month to do that. As Dave Barry is fond of saying: "I am not making this up".

No, you can't. You may be able to stop the use, but that doesn't stop the addiction. Addiction continues, regardless of continued use.

There is a whole lot of information out there, for free and easily discoverable. If you're really interested in holding an opinion, I'd start at your favorite search engine.

Have you heard the phrase, "Dry drunk?" That is a good reference point. A dry drunk is a colloquialism for someone who doesn't drink but still exhibits the behaviors associated with an alcoholic. This is because the brain chemistry has changed.

An addict can, sometimes, learn to use in moderation - but the addiction remains. The brain chemistry remains forever altered. There has been huge efforts made in researching this. The science is fairly mature and the results are fairly well understood.

Addiction doesn't just go away. Physical dependence may go away, though that depends on the treatment and many other things. There is a difference between drug use, physical dependence, and addiction.

Black taxis in London are a 150+ year old institution also. As a Londoner I found it sad seeing the drivers looking unhappy waiting for passengers at Paddington....not getting so many. Black taxis just seem to me to be as much of a part of London as Big Ben, Red Telephone Boxes and Red Double Decker busses.
Thanks for the kind words. BTW we fixed the hiccup you speak about. When you now create a merge request we added an option to set the state of 'delete branch on merge' on the merge request. You can set this to give a suggestion to the person merging, and it is off by default.
There is still no legitimate use of bitcoin beyond niche markets and speculation. Besides maybe a very risky (as in unpredictable value on delivery) method of money transfer. It is and has always been a criminal and launderer toy.

I am very excited by progress in Ethereum and see it as a model for a better way forward. Though I do not trust its maintainers and community to build a secure and reliable system. There have been far to many preventable losses due to their amateur efforts.

The future of crypto is exciting. The present currencies are the Diamond Rios and Creative Nomads of crytocurrency.

> The existence of any social or institutional mechanism that gives one esteemed category of people the right to deny someone else's rationality is always abused.

Unless you qualify that statement more, I read it as a blanket indictment of basically any institution with any decision-making power over individuals.

This logic can be equally used to indict:

- courts (because they can throw people in jail and take away their rational decision-making power)

- the military (killing people obvious removes their ability to make decisions)

- taxation (removes the ability to rationally how to allocate a portion of their resources)

- laws (it restricts the freedom of rational individuals to decide right and wrong for themselves)

A heuristic that is so broad that it can be used to paint nearly every social relation in a negative light is not a useful heuristic, because it doesn't let us profitably separate the chaff from the wheat.

The question should not be whether turning addiction into a medical rather than criminal problem would be completely free of abuse. It will not be, because humans and human institutions are imperfect. The question is whether this would be better than the status quo, and it seems like it would be.

What's worse -- no longer having the right to purchase certain drugs, subject to the decisions of a medical bureaucracy, or letting the legal system imprison you for years, like we currently do?
No different from the situation 500 years ago where a fire could destroy important records and leave countries in chaos. All banks need to do is keep track of how much money is in everyone's accounts and allow people to transfer money somehow. They do not need to be able to "give it back to people." Fiat money could exist on pen-and-paper ledgers too; in fact that was exactly what the earliest known money was (well, stylus-and-clay as neither pens nor paper had been invented yet).

If for some reason all our computers simultaneously failed without any warning, it would obviously be chaos, but at the end of the day the banks would be in a much better position to recover than anything like Bitcoin. Banks only use computer networks because they are more efficient than the alternatives; Bitcoin requires everyone to be online and does not have any alternatives. The worst thing that would happen if all computers failed simultaneously is that the banks would lose track of everyone's accounts -- a general amnesty for debtors and a big loss for people without debts -- and in the aftermath the banks would just start from scratch using older technologies.
IANAL, etc. This is indeed a very problematic bit. I'm not sure if it is even possible to restate that patent grant in such a way that the termination clause would apply only to software patent assertions and simultaneously keep the text sufficiently unambiguous.

Is there much actual crime being facilitated by Bitcoin? I mean apart from the "things that are illegal now but they're going to be legal in a few years because one country started a misguided effort that everyone else blindly followed" crime.
But my understanding is that some patent grant is better than no patent grant. The controversy was about the termination clause favouring Facebook, but it’s still better than not having it. Surely the only true solution would have been to switch to a license that has a more liberal patent grant, eg Apache 2?
These special share classes that let the founders get all the money but lose none of the control sound like a continuation of what companies are trying to do with consumers. It seems like almost everyone is trying to say that you can only rent things anymore and no one owns shit.

> Amsterdam, 1985, the government supplied methadone using an old city bus they transformed into a drug dispensary, they even supplied clean needles for free.

In the documentary I was mentioning (sorry, can't find a link or remember the title), I saw something like that in Canada (IIRC). It was a room with needles, with a nurse or something to supervise and monitor injections. And of course there were doses of Narcan in case an OD happens.

But no methadone whatsoever was offered. Or if there was, it wasn't mentioned. So basically the government was paying to provide an infrastructure for drug consumption. In other words : customer support. It's as if they were working for drug dealers. To me that's outrageous.

If your backup tool uses rsync under the hood, which is just a normal user-space process that uses the standard filesystem APIs, why does it matter what the underlying storage is? Obviously filesystem bugs can cause issues with this assumption, but filesystem bugs can break a whole host of other things in your backup tool.

To the extent a party makes, uses, sells, offers to sell, imports, or otherwise transfers Covered FOSS, Red Hat agrees not to use such actions as a basis for enforcing its patents against the party ("Our Promise"), subject to the limitations herein.

If I read this right, Red Hat promises to not sue anyone for using/transferring FOSS whether or not such an action infringes on Red Hat's patents - they will only use patents to defend against litigation. (IANAL.)

Assuming it can, and Microsoft acquires Microhard, and has no interest in crypto doesnt this leave a coin on the market with a name of a business that doesn’t even exist?

Taplytics is looking for SDK engineers in Toronto
The way I'm reading it, if you develop free/open source software that infringes Red Hat's patents, Red Hat promises not to sue unless you sue them first.

The "combined" part seems to be saying you can also develop a system that's partly proprietary, as long as the proprietary parts are simple and not using Red Hat's patents.

If they sell a patent, the buyer must agree to the same promise.

The promise won't protect you if you infringe someone else's IP, even if it's related to one of Red Hat's patents.
Wonder if you might be saying the same thing when you're 65. Meaningfulness can come from places besides jobs, house plants, or Facebook I think. I could also be totally wrong, but I think it's worth attempting to find out.
Uber are not a monopoly, never claimed they were. They act like they want to be though, and are using VC money to undercut AFAICT

The rules are much more than there to protect just black cabs, they are there to protect consumers and workers too.

Uber are a set of problems all to themselves, and have only their own attitudes and practices to blame.

I am not advocating helping any one 'side', and to paint my arguments that way is disingenuous.
if it proves to be infeasible you just fork the protocol to a more feasible one. One of the main differences between Bitcoin and traditional fiat is who decides monetary policy.
From the article's final remarks section:

> The empirical data and stories above do not mean that investors should stop trading all cryptocurrencies or pass on investing in blockchain-related products and services.

> To the contrary, the goal of this article is to elevate awareness that this industry lacks even the most basic safeguards and independent voices that would typically act as a counterbalance against bad actors. In this FOMO atmosphere investors need to be on full alert of the inherent risks of a less than transparent market with less than accurate information from companies and even news specialists.

> Cryptocurrencies aren’t inherently good or bad. In a single block, they can be used as a means to reward an entity for securing transactions and also a payment for holding data hostage.
No point, banks are liable for fraud rather than the consumer. I believe consumer's liability is capped at $50-500 depending on how quickly the fraud is reported. Just make sure you don't wait past 60 days to report. Credit cards have even more protections.

These plans rarely pay out, and you'll likely spend more on subscription fees than they'd return to you in fraud payments.

I am not a lawyer, but my take on it is:

Red Hat holds patents but promises not to enforce them. This means anyone can use the IP without worrying about being sued for infringement. No one else can claim they own the IP because Red Hat already owns it. They also have a clause saying that if Red Hat sells the IP, the buyer needs to uphold the same promise.

> Reduce allotted time for campaigning to something like 2 months, and maybe have it publicly funded like Australia

I do want to say that public funding also comes with its issues. Its the way most parties in Argentina fund themselves and because all of them do, all parties get to put their hand of the State coffers during elections. So much, they made an electoral reform to have another round of elections, just to be able to spend more money on pork.

There is no solution to funding political parties that wont screw someone. Its yet another example of diminishing the scope of government so they just steal less of it.
Your comment (and specifically the words "clutter bar") really took me back to the 90s and how amazing it was to see Winamp's aesthetic for the first time. It really reminded me of some mod players for DOS back in the day, their UI was very "90s futuristic".

No, I don't believe fuel and depreciation are being destroyed. I think that is the difference between this situation and the broken window parable. They are simply being traded for a service to arrive at destinations swiftly. If we judge purely off opportunity cost the billionaire's time is worth a lot more than the average layman. The extra cost in the goods and services of a private jet may very well be worth the expense to the billionaire.
They were given a four month extension, they didn't fix the problems. Now they are down to an appeal process. I have no doubt they will drag it out as long as possible.
I think the problem is that people tend to focus on the size of the numeric probability, as if it was intrinsically meaningful. And don't think to consider contextual details like in the example you give. It's the combination of the probabilities to the contextual details they're applied to that really matter.

Another illustration of that is, if 99.99% equates to 1/10000 survivors, the meaning of it depends on how many bacteria exist on the area in the first place. It has quite a different meaning if the typical number is 10000 vs if it's 100000000
> Facebook could now freely use your patented idea, and violating it left, right, and center, and if you try to sue them for violating that patent, you're completely fcked.

Maybe, maybe not. You suing them over your patent would terminate you patent* license from Facebook, but not your copyright license. Whether that fucks you or not depends on whether or not you actually NEED a patent license from Facebook.

As far as I know, no one has actually found a Facebook patent that covers React.
