iPad Pro as a Development Machine (2016)
I don't know if something was lost in translation or if this ridiculous claim is straight from the Russian government. There is no way that a missile carrying a 100 tonne payload can "wipe out" 700,000 km^2. It wouldn't even be able to break every window in Texas. Not even with very high yield-to-mass ratio warheads and MIRVing.

(OTOH, just hitting the top population centers of Texas or France would be devastating enough, so nuclear war is terrifying even after discarding the hyperbole.)

EDIT: and the warhead mass is 10 tons, not 100. 100 tons is the mass of the whole vehicle. That makes a lot more sense, given that this is not a Saturn V-sized launch vehicle. It can carry up to 24 MIRVed warheads: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RS-28_Sarmat

There's two points --

Just because we want some copyright, doesn't mean we want the current system. There's lots of room to have mixed strategies, eg personal use copying of music is free but public performance requires a license. (Basically, the de facto state now.) And there's lots of reason to believe we should adjust the current system (and business models built around it) somehow, because it's clear that what we have legislated isn't optimal... or in some ways even workable.

Secondly, why not Kickstarter it? (or Patreon? or sell merchandise? etc.) There's no reason not to collect a pool of money, escrow it (with some payments to live on during), and hand it over when they release an album. They get paid for certain and the public can listen to the album as much as they want. This seriously hurts the machine that is pop music, but is that really a bad thing? I think we can do better as a culture than what we presently have (in the form of big, centrally controlled companies/networks).

There are lots of ways to fund music and musicians without the current paradigm. People like art and want to support art they enjoy. (And for that matter, music managed to get funded for all of human history without the present system... So I suspect the concern is overstated.)

> It’s obviously significant to the government: they’ve cracked down on it

It's significant in that ICOs have lots of fraud. The motive is important because if capital controls were the motive, the greater Bitcoin community has nothing to learn from it. If it's fraud, introspection is required. Barring that, non capital controlled countries should pay attention.
You instrument your application so you discover failures very quickly. If you do this right, you pretty much get the reporting people want from business intelligence applications, and use that as your core monitoring metric.

How to Detect WordPress Backdoors with Sysdig Falco – WPScans
My take on the "why are we behaving this way" was that, if you find intelligent life:

a) Its probably either very far behind or very far ahead of you.

b) Civilizations that are very far behind you can jump to being very far ahead of you "overnight"

c) Civilizations that are very far ahead of you can launch a preemptive strike that is guaranteed to destroy you.

d) Civilizations can modify local space to put themselves in a "stone-age" from which they cannot escape, thereby proving "we are not a threat".

Rationally, the only thing to do is destroy any civ you can, or preemptively take yourself out of the game.

An example of (c) was that Civilizations living in a n-dimensional universe could, if advanced enough, figure out how to modify themselves to live in an (n-1)-dimensional universe and then convert the n-d universe into an (n-1)-d universe that only they (and a few other clever civs) could survive in. Harsh. But rational.

> If you fail to see how the American public would have a negative reaction to some kind of redistribution of wealth I think you should think about the average American's reaction to the idea of a socialist politician.

That's not it - I'm not saying that the American public wouldn't have a negative reaction to "redistribution of wealth". I'm saying that the American public has a negative reaction to "redistribution of wealth" when they don't think it benefits them. In other words, they're generally fine with wealth being redistributed from other people to them, which is most evidenced by people of all income levels usually (though not always) being on board with federal money coming in to their district. This generally takes the form of federally-funded infrastructure projects or targeted subsidies.

I'm using that to explain why people in between welfare-level poverty and comfortable wealth would have a different reaction to a stipend that (they think) is coming out of other people's tax dollars than they would to current welfare programs (which [as they perceive] don't benefit them).

Why does everyone jump to "demise of unions"? There is a far simpler explanation. For decades official government policy (especially in the us and Japan) has been job creation. Have you ever heard of a politician that hasn't advocated for job growth? The policy tool deployed to create jobs has been to use the central bank (via its mandate to maintain employment) to inflate the currency. Inflation works to goose employment by decreasing the real cost of labor (because, sticky wages). [0]

Wages are not growing because of a policy to screw labor out of its earnings, and the policy is working. No reason to impute other mechanisms or make things unnecessarily complicated.

The plane change would be just as small or large as the change in orbit, the directions are the same. If a collision is not likely to produce significant plane change, it's also not likely to produce fragments that go to significantly lower orbit to hit Earth; and if a collision is sending some fragments towards earth, then it's sending as many fragments significantly sideways to a different orbit inclination.
You are seriously underestimating the paranoia in parts of the prepper community if you think they don't have contingencies for that exact situation.

Government isn't being xenophobic. I mean there are Canadians from every country. But hiring someone in Canada keeps the money within the Canadian economy which I think is what governments should be doing. If they find some Indian guy who wants to come to Canada bring him to Canada let him do the job there let him become part of community. However if that money goes to some Indian guy in India how is it benefiting Canada?

The problem with detecting pixels is you generally have to load the image before you find out that it's only 1x1 or fully-transparent. And by then it's too late.

Apple could probably use ML to try and guess ahead of time whether a URL is a tracking pixel, but they have to load at least some of them first to be able to figure that out.

Hello, happy redash self hosted user here :)

I'd like to confirm, we are hosting redash 2.0 (recently updated from 1.0) to our own server and use it as a query portal and collaboration tool to a number of databases (including mysql, postgres and oracle). Query sharing is really important there are users that don't know SQL but know how to run "peter-21" or "jim-32" with redash.

Everything is smooth till now thank you for the great product!

Your abstract 3rd-party justification from a distance fails to note the rest of that sentence:

"Overall basic income is theft from workers and will be seen as such by those workers."

When enough of those producing wealth decide that UBI = theft, they aren't going to just continue producing without pushing back. Personally, if UBI is implemented, I will "go Galt" and move to a self-sufficient homesteading-style life, leaving any cash-requiring activities (like paying taxes) to my $UBI/mo check. That I am a productive person does not mean my productivity will necessarily be taxable; I grew up in a live-off-the-land family, and would be happy to return to that lifestyle if you're going to just take a big chunk of my income just to give to others.

There are enough jobs (yes, there are). Wealth is not durable (you eat a hamburger, $1 of economic wealth turns to *). Encouraging idleness by funding it is an unsustainable economic strategy, because so many people find paid idleness a desirable lifestyle.
You would think somewhere in the contract it would specify that the payroll software, upon launching, most actually enable you to pay employees. I understand why IBM would make sure the government had some responsibility, but doesn't IBM have a responsibility to deliver something that actually works? Well, apparently not, and I'm sure if that WAS stipulated in the contract, they would never sign it. I have seen to the other side of the coin, I worked for a consulting web shop years ago where they created a bad contract worth 70K, which was at the time their biggest contract. Yay, high fives all around for the sales team. Unfortunately they ended up spending over 300k to get the system to actually work because the contract was so vague and the requirements so complex.

I smell some kind of corrupt kick back shinanegans going on here, I bet you somebody in the government got a new sports car from IBM to get that contract, and to have an endless maintenance part added in (which is where they make their money).

Everyone should read Piketty.

As for why wages aren't growing, there's many reasons. For one, automation and increases in efficiency undercut wages. In economic terms, income from capital is increasing faster than income from wages.

Second, immigration. For example, in Canada, if you can't fill a job at a certain wage, you can bring in temporary foreign workers or sponsor an immigrant. This means the wage of that job will never go up because if the labour market is tight, you can simply draw from another labour pool. The US and most western countries have been affected by this.

So on one end you have less need for labour and on the other, a limitless labour pool. Low 'unemployment' stats don't necessarily tell the whole picture since low wages drive up employment, but because the demand for that labour is only at that wage, it doesn't put upward pressure on wages.

I guess it comes down to the question of do you think China is more concerned about its people losing money, or China losing its people's money (that the state views as its own). I don't think you'd find too many Chinese people that would argue for the former, although it's a nice facade.
A third party guarantor is different from THE third party guarantor though, no?

I only follow blockchain/ICO events from the peripheries so I'm sorry if I'm grossly misunderstanding.
That's a terrible TL;DR. The article is about wage growth first and foremost not economic growth. The article actually does a pretty decent overview of the many factors affecting wage growth, from the macro factors (cross border labor competition, automation) and micro factors (weaker unions, more unequal distribution of profits within firms).

I don't know how it works in France, but other countries have a "bad payer" database. You get added to it when you're behind with your payments, and get removed from it when you're no longer behind. All lenders check that database.
I got the same thing. When I look at the fingerprint details though, it's not clear why it should be "nearly unique". Of the things listed there, there's not much that's customizable, mostly just time zone, locale, DNT, and if cookies are enabled. That said, it also has "Hash of canvas fingerprint", which apparently has a lot of bits, but I have no idea what information that's actually extracting. Similarly "Hash of WebGL fingerprint".

I did try this on iOS 11, which they probably don't have much data for yet and would explain some of the unique-ness, but you said iOS 10.3.3 which is much less new.

Maybe iPhone users just don't try panopticlick very much?
Knowing how to buy and implement software is the responsibility, and therefore fault of both parties.

The service provider sounds like they either have not done this before, or are willing to make money off endless change requests.

The buyer's side in the government also likely has culpability in someone buying software who doesn't know how it's implemented.

Wow, somehow I missed that. Thanks for calling it out!
You don't seem to grok the point of UBI because you seem to fetishize work. UBI is the solution to a world where work isn't an essential due to automation, there is more to being human than getting money for labor, we want people to be happy not working, that's the goal, so those people aren't ruining the experiment, they're proving it correct.

There is no such thing as a "simple" install of PeopleSoft that is immediately usable. It's "consultingware." It requires configuration and customization before it can do anything useful at all.

Consultingware is a variant of shrinkwrap which requires so much customization and installation that you need an army of consultants to install it, at outrageous cost. CRM and CMS packages often fall in this category. One gets the feeling that they don’t actually do anything, they are just an excuse to get an army of consultants in the door billing at $300/hour. Although consultingware is disguised as shrinkwrap, the high cost of an implementation means this is really more like internal software.

> How so? What would you expect from law enforcement here?

Copied from another sub-thread I posted in...

When Sonny Vleisides plead guilty to Felony Mail Fraud in 2007, he was forbidden to engage in loan programs, gambling or gaming activities, telemarketing activities, investment programs or any other business involving the solicitation of funds.

He went on to co-found the company called Butterfly Labs in 2010, a company that took pre-orders for Bitcoin mining equipment (in many cases soliciting funds for hardware that didn't exist, until it did).

Many people argued that this business model was a direct violation of the terms of his supervised release. He stood in front of a judge in 2014 that said there was a "strong smell" of fraud with respect to his company.

Equifax it seems gets to skip the whole "plead guilty" thing and just announced their negligent failure directly to the world.

When does Equifax get their 14 months in jail followed by a supervised release? Never, apparently, they just go on about their business and no charges are filed. I would expect for them to get a "time-out" after their bungling of the response to this breach, at the bare minimum.

But no, let's give them a participation trophy instead, let them continue handling the response to the breach, they've earned it...
