I use the Bitpay VISA card and it's worked flawlessly for me for the past year. Sometimes it takes a bit for enough confirmations to pile on for Bitpay to release funds...but 98% of the time it happens within seconds.

$10 in BTC to order the card. $2 ATM fee in the US (I never use an ATM for this thing...mostly online purchases and the occasional "forgot-my-other-card" purchase). Conversion rate is reasonable.

I tried using Shakepay but did not have a good on-boarding experience.

The one thing I don't like about Bitpay is that their mobile app is total garbage - I only use the web interface.

My favorite example of this sort of thing is in the preface of Sussman and Abelson's "Structure and Interpretation of Classical Mechanics":

https://mitpress.mit.edu/sites/default/files/titles/content/...

"Classical mechanics is deceptively simple. It is surprisingly easy to get the right answer with fallacious reasoning or without real understanding. Traditional mathematical notation contributes to this problem. Symbols have ambiguous meanings that depend on context, and often even change within a given context. For example, a fundamental result of mechanics is the Lagrange equations. ... The Lagrangian L must be interpreted as a function of the position and velocity components qi and i, so that the partial derivatives make sense, but then in order for the time derivative d/dt to make sense solution paths must have been inserted into the partial derivatives of the Lagrangian to make functions of time. The traditional use of ambiguous notation is convenient in simple situations, but in more complicated situations it can be a serious handicap to clear reasoning."

Footnote 2 is also fun to read.

Update: I looked around and it does not seem there is a way, they seem not to want to do it either. The flow of copy, open new container tab, paste, seems pretty cumbersome to me. Especially if you want to move a tab to a different container or into one. If it weren't for this issue I'd love to use them.

I do like that you can hide containers or manipulate them as a group. This has great organizational benefits.
The society has survived with some level of cultural continuity. A lot of people died in those revolutions and the falling of those dynasties, though. The "wisdom" that China learned from that is "do everything possible to prevent a revolution or a change in dynasty". A better wisdom might be "make the transitions easier so that they don't have to be violent". Peaceful transitions via election are an example of this.

>But here's the catch. "Everybody" is not looking for the average programmer. They are looking for the top 1% of applicants.

IME that's market dependent. One of the reasons I left Singapore was because it was abundantly clear that almost all employers had neither the ability to accurately assess programming talent nor the inclination. They all wanted average drones, cheaper the better.

Moreover, actual competence is routinely confused with the ability to recite algorithms you'll never need to implement, encyclopedic knowledge of obscure APIs or a stint working at a high profile employer.

So yea, in theory most companies want the top 1% of programmers but I'm sure that most wouldn't even recognize them if they saw them.
Well you and I are just speculating, so who knows. But I sort of doubt it. People would have noticed if SpaceX was hiring nuclear engineers. I think they have enough R&D on their plate getting to full reusability.

> All of this was because of an activist being awarded a Nobel Peace Prize, which is process controlled a foundation, not directly by the Norwegian government.

The nobel committee is set by the norwegian parliament.

"The Nobel Peace Prize is awarded by a committee of five, appointed by the Storting (the Norwegian parliament)."

https://www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/peace/prize_awarder/...

And the nobel prizes ( particularly in peace ) has been used by the norwegian government to advance political causes. A prime example being obama being awarded the nobel peace prize before he did anything as president.

Regardless of your views on china, the nobel peace prize is a political prize.

> IMO, the whole idea of prisons is inherently inhumane. We've really got to do better.

At some point I reread Isaiah 61:1, "...to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound...," and it's been bugging me ever since that prison is, as far as I know, not a concept in the Judeo-Christian worldview. Isaiah doesn't want to proclaim liberty to the unjustly captive and release to the unjustly imprisoned; he's proclaiming release to everyone.

All the examples of people going to prison in the Bible that I can think of - Joseph in Egypt, Daniel in Babylon, John the Baptist in Judea, Paul and Silas in Philippi, etc. - are of "good guys" being thrown in prison by "bad guy" governments. I can't think of an example where God says to build a prison, or where a follower of God puts someone in prison, and the Bible says they did a good thing. (Maybe I'm forgetting something, though; I'd appreciate correction here.)

For all that Western culture seems to be proud of our Judeo-Christian morality, did we inherit this one keystone of our whole thing from pagan concepts of how to run a justice system?

And is it my religious duty as a Christian to fight for release for all the prisoners?

The submission title is editorialized. These aren't really foundational controversies. They are controversies about particular proofs or theorems. Even in the case of Fukaya's work, which is dramatized a bit by Quanta Magazine, there were decades of prior work in symplectic geometry that would have been unaffected by the incorrectness of Fukaya's proof.

Directly From Apple. And they have said these number of times in the public. Apple did not bring out any thing to prove it, so i am going to take its word they are not lying.

Those agreement also precede LTE.

You cant NOT use Qualcomm patents in LTE, but if Qualcomm were allowed to charge whatever they wanted, then they have a monopoly case, and we have to have somebody to define what is a fair price. Since Qualcomm are subject to FRAND.

All these patents fee were one of the reason why HEVC started charging $100M / year combined for their Video Codec, 20 times more the AVC / H.264. Because they saw what 4G patents were capable of charging.

I agree that Paypal isn't that interesting. As for crypto cards, they have the advantage of an anonymous way (in the case of foregoing Know-Your-Customer processes) of spending potentially-anonymous currency (crypto currency).
I agree that it's good to have multiple browser _products_, but why is it better that MSFT has its own engine instead of investing in OSS ones like webkit/blink? This is the same question I have for Firefox. They can still achieve their privacy goals without having to invest in and maintain a separate engine. Is having a unique engine really all that beneficial in the long run?
The captive social environment of school interacts with the captive social environment of social networks to extend the active hours during which Fear-of-Missing-Out and interpersonal conflicts can occur.

I'm sure teens would happily detox from school as well, if they were given the chance. Of course, social networks are always on your phone, even in the middle of the night. But chances are, if for some reason, someone were to have an entirely different stock of people on their Instagram than their school peers, the amount of social pressure experienced would be lessened. In fact, I'd posit that this can be seen with social networks like Tumblr, Twitch, and YouTube, where one is far more likely to cultivate interest-based friends than a mere combination of schoolmates and a few choice super-popular accounts.
The thing I don't get here is, if I'm God, then aren't I going to sell off right before the drawdowns and then buy back in at the local minimum?

> makes it thinner or anything else?

I think it's volume inside the device more than thinness, but I agree I don't think it's a fundamental design constraint. I'm sure they could find the room.

I think it's just that (now/soon) Bluetooth headphones are finally good enough. I have the Airpods, and I have almost no issue with batteries (they recharge while they're in the case, it's only a problem if I listen continuously for a whole evening, but even then they fast recharge in minutes), and they have great range. I'd tried Bluetooth headphones in the past and it was the pairing process that really turned me off, that's a non-issue now too. I would go as far as to say that the Airpods are the best/most game-changing product Apple has put out in maybe a decade. They just need to get a little cheaper, and included as standard (at least for the new top-of-line devices).

For people in the audio industry it sucks, but there are adapters. I don't resent them taking it out any more than I do an ethernet port in my MacBook (ethernet is much better than WiFi, but WiFi is 'good enough' now, and I have an adapter at my desk for when I need it).
Slashdot was one of the main inspirations for Advogato. One clue in support of this is that the codebase was called "mod_virgule". The trust metrics were designed to be a more sophisticated moderation system than what Slashdot did, but in retrospect I'm not sure it actually worked that much better; Advogato never reached a mass audience and to the extent it had higher quality posts it was probably due to a smaller and more focused community.

I still have my slashdot account (number 3148), but rarely use it. I can well imagine the "complicated feelings" that Rob has, and wanted to add my voice to the many saying that Slashdot was an important Internet space.
It works fine for me. If you think it's holding things back, why not collaborate with the community and work on something you feel is better?

Really?

I'm honestly looking for opinions here.
I'm currently looking at the i7-7820X for a gaming/developer/GP machine. The Ryzen 1800X has only 16PCIe lanes, and a dual channel memory controller that is not as fast as Intel's. The Ryzen 1920X has what I need, but costs about $200 more, and I'm a bit concerned about performance consistency due to the NUMA architecture.

With this in mind, I'm really leaning towards the 7820x. But I keep seeing these posts saying that beyond brand loyalty, Ryzen is the way to go. Is the balanced ST/MT workstation niche really in Ryzen's court?
I've been working mostly with Elasticsearch for the past couple of years, but I have to admit I'm deeply impressed with the results I got out of PostgreSQL after only a few hours of hacking. Elasticsearch is far more flexible and powerful but for smaller, simpler search projects it's hard to beat the convenience of having everything built into the database.
That's incorrect. A similarly equipped T470 is maybe ~$300 less but you miss out on the discrete gfx card and the keyboard. I think you're looking at the base price and forgetting the three year warranty that comes with this.

I've already bought one since the value is worth it.
They seem to be the veteran in this space, but their docs seem largely US oriented. For European clientele, it's mentioned that an EU issuer is partnered, but not if EUR cards are supported, or what the exchange rates are.
> Oppression does not become more tolerable just because it's inflicted by "the same people".

Agreed, but it shouldn't be less tolerable either, which is more of the point.
Even if the purpose was punishment, I wonder why we harbor such a deep aversion to corporal punishment.

The (US) Constitution prohibits "cruel and unusual" punishments in sentencing, but in my mind, losing years of one's life, which one will never get back, is significantly more cruel than, say, fifty lashes.
>We're not arguing whether dynamic language+extensive integration/unit test is better than static typing and no tests.

I am, because that's the way I'd work in any language, because I'm not a hack.

>Yes, if you have a very solid architecture, strict coding guidelines, extensive integration and unit test coverage, experienced developers (etc. etc. etc.) you will mitigate a lot of problems with dynamic typing.

Eliminate.

>A similar argument is made to me when I assert JavaScript is a terrible language.

No, javascript is different. The weird and fucked up implicit type conversions render even a high level of testing insufficient to achieve a high level of confidence in the code. There's way too many edge case behaviors where it should be throwing exceptions and it does something weird instead. C suffers from this problem too despite being statically typed.
Oof. That is one view. There are others, that tend to note that society exists without state institutions - in fact, society is a necessary precondition to a state.

Some of these other views don't credit 'society' as something with a will or a reason, simply as an emergent property. That's not to say 'society' doesn't cause things to happen, but it does imply disagreement with the parent comment.

I absolutely agree that states are primarily instruments of suppression and coercion. I just think that equating state and society is not only incorrect, but also heads down a potentially dangerous path. Societies emerge from being social animals in proximity, states emerge from negotiations, coercion, or some combination thereof.
Just don't buy any of the newer cryptocurrencies. There's much less risk involved in the older cryptocurrencies. That being said bitcoin seems intent on tearing it's self apart at the moment.

If you want to choose a cryptocurrency as a hedge I'd go for litecoin, it's fairly old and under active development. It's far past the point where it's riding on a couple pump and dumps and unlike bitcoin isn't talking about 2-3 chain splits in one year.

It's very hard to tell which of the new cryptocurrencies are legit, and even if you identify ones that look good, that's no guarantee the price will actually go up.
Yeah, I recall reading stuff there 'back in the day' and it was pretty cool. I tried to find my old account, but couldn't :-/ I did find a few stories I sent in in 1998.
Debunking arguments against remote work
Tribes 2 had a full web browser in the game. It was a continuation of having a full IRC client in the first game, Starsiege: Tribes.

(Tribes 2 also had the IRC client. The IRC client initially drove players into chat channels to help them find ongoing games, and dropped a link when someone left IRC to join a game. It was decent matchmaking in 1998, and helped build the community as well.)

The browser itself wasn't as insane as writing the entire game menu in OpenGL, which at the time was uncommon. Game devs cited this choice (instead of using a simpler menu) as causing a 6-month delay in the project, leading to much less testing and a game that crashed frequently for the first few months after release. The ubiquitous "Unhanded Exception" pop-up became a meme for years after.
I agree and was curious why they picked it. I guess their reasoning is as good as any.

> Steem is a form of esteem, which means to prize or value. Steem is also a homophone for steam, which is frequently associated with power, and a step further, steam powered trains gave influence to English idioms, such as ‘this conversation is picking up steam.’ The associations with prizing, language and empowerment only felt right.

More to the point, they were running away from the horrible Pentium 4 chips and wanted people to know that their machines wouldn't run like a dog anymore.
