I don't think it's just lack of information. There are probably structural differences having to do with who is taking the fraud risk that account for the different rates.
I don't tell them these opinions - I explain to them what Bitcoin is and how it works and what's needed to keep it operational. Nobody likes China's involvement - especially the anarchist types. Bitcoin is full of pseudo-anarchists and people living in denial because Bitcoin is their last hope of having a decent living.
Americans didn't need the Russians to turn against one another. I have been here since 2000 and I am still amazed how vicious a lot of campaign ads are and how much a lot of people have bought into the mindset that the "other side" liberals/conservatives is basically evil.

The American system did this to itself. The Russians are just a little sideshow.
Because they were not actually faulty, that was the excuse used to smuggle them.

Yeah, the current title seems pretty misleading / politically slanted. The actual content of the article is a lot more. "Twitter's Testimony before the Senate Judiciary, Subcommittee on Crime and Terrorism" or something similar might make more sense. It's a 15 page document of Twitter's testimony, not a news article about the contents of that testimony.
It often looks that way to me, with so many shady ICO's as well. And let's not forget the Magnitsky Act which in North America is primed to prevent exactly those kinds of financial moves.
Well considering that you made the original claim, the burden of proof is on you. A simple Google search will also show you are wrong.

People really pirate games still? Steam and GoG have made actually paying for games so easy I haven't even thought about it for years.

There was a time when you couldn't find most games in a physical store, and sketchy cracked versions on PirateBay or your favorite tracker were the alternative. Of course, I have orders of magnitude more disposable income now than I used to, as well.
I noticed this during that time and reported on my observations [1]. I'm glad to see there is a followup inquiry, even if it's over a year later.

The core issue I had back then still seems unclear. When I noticed the oddity, the #DNCLeak hashtag was being hidden / censored (at 3 tweets / sec), and during the same time the pro-democrat hashtag #RNCinCLE was trending strongly (at 12 tweets / min).

In this document, is twitter saying it was simply their spam detection and prevention efforts that caused the #DNCLeak to be hidden (and not any ulterior or political motives)?

[1] http://scala.sh/twitter-censorship-20160724/
I'm interested to know how they determined half of all #DNCleaks tweets were spam and how that compares to other trending topics both political and apolitical.

Seems like they are hiding behind the anti-spam stance without detailing how their system determines that. Removing almost 50% of communication on a topic is a pretty dramatic step, especially during an election.
Go the same direction? Our (Canada) immigration laws have always been much tougher, and illegal immigration is treated like the crime that it actually is... Not to mention there's very real penalties for hiring workers that aren't legally allowed to work, and the authorities regularly enforce them.
"Any OS comes with a text editor and a ZIP utility by default now."

The same thing is becoming true of SQLite (and pretty much is true if you exclude older versions of Windows). We're talking about one of the two (estimated) most-widely-deployed software projects in the world today (http://sqlite.org/mostdeployed.html). It's FOSS, ubiquitous, easily embeddable, works remarkably well, and has bindings for pretty much every programming language under the sun. As far as a general-purpose file format goes, a SQLite database is thus pretty close to ideal.
I really wish all those people chasing the "desktop Linux" mirage while breaking APIs at whim would internalize this.

If they want desktop Linux to happen, they need to stop chasing eyecandy and stabilize the plumbing behavior, no matter how much that thought offends their developer pride.
No, the pro-Trump ones are just as annoying. Regardless of the opinion the chains take, it is annoying that they have nothing to do with the specific tweet.
> Can a language map all it's concepts to words and other concepts defined by just words.

I don't see why natural language would have this property. It is certainly possible to construct codes such that the distribution over codewords does not have this property.
Yes, we've updated the title from the submitted “Twitter testifies to hiding #DNCLeak and #PodestaEmails during election”.
That's correct (I wrote the proposal). There will be two-way communication between the entry (reset) and yield (shift) site, but this may be implemented in Java in the JDK libraries on top of a lower-level construct in the JVM, if not in the JVM itself.
Fair enough. I was reacting more to what I interpreted as you advocating the approach as opposed to just trying to offer a solution based on coldtea's comment. (I likely had a visceral reaction because I've actually implemented a toy Lisp in Smalltalk and it wasn't something I'd want to do much more than play with)
> I'm convinced that we can reach a far more efficient way to implement carrots and sticks.

What dollar value do you assign to the human and economic cost that any one pound of CO2 will produce over the next century? How did you come by this number?

If you haven't, then you're just going with your gut feel. Gut feel is a terrible way to judge whether or not policy is good, or not.

What if the economic cost of burning that gallon of gas is $10? Would applying that externality to the price at the pump still churn your stomach?

If you don't want to assign a greater or equal cost to it, then the most efficient solution for the market will be to keep polluting, causing net harm. Robbing Peter to fill Paul's gas tank.
I am amazed how many people use Venmo. I'm one of the first adopters, I've never actually used it except to donate the penny I was given when I opened my account, but I see such a diverse crowd using it today daily - it's beyond my most optimistic expectations for it or a similar service! So, PayPal did a great decision to acquire them as Venmo doesn't have the notoriety of PayPal proper!

I often feel this way about podcasts. Many great podcasts have a 0:30 intro, 1:30 of ads then 08:00 of random babble before getting into 5:00 of the meat of the podcast. The most recent one I can think of is 99% Invisible, though they're not even close to the only ones that do it.
When you say "making less than $300k", are you referring to actual salary or to some nebulous "total compensation" estimate?
You can still get the broken AMP formatting on the publisher's site:

You two are not in contradiction.

Come on. $100k vs $107k cars are a disingenuous comparison. They turn $30k cars (entry level luxury) into $23k cars (middle class, right in there with the Civic, Camry, Corolla, Accord, etc). If this is your objection, let’s phase it out for cars over a price threshold.
So I assume that no reference makes even less an argument?
I'm more curious, why would you run a DB in a container?

Containers seem really great for running inside schedulers in order to squeeze every last bit of performance out your servers while also making it easy to move things around as needed. To me this is things like app servers, web servers, load balancers, queue workers, microservices, etc.

I don't think of a database needing to be moved around, and I want its performance profile to have room for growth when needed (in other words, give me the beefiest server and only run the DB on it). Also, a database doesn't generally have 15 dependencies you have to hand compile/install like many apps do.

There seems to be a lot of operational complexity with doing things like "ok, here's our database, but the data is not in the container, and if the DB does move, we have to take the data with it." How long does the move take? Wouldn't it be better to just have another DB standing by to swap in immediately?

I guess my point is (and I'm actually, genuinely asking as someone who hasn't spent much time in the container world): what operational benefit does having a DB in a container give?
Right, argumentative, cloudy, and political. If that's what is meant by "dropping the subsidies", then the simple sounding solution actually hides all the complexity of the problem.

Some do it for sport, especially DRMed ones. I.e. they see DRM as something to break. So the mere presence of DRM is an incentive to pirate for them.
Well, those who express a pathological fear of governments, control, and so on.
Can an admin/mod or whatever change the title? It's blatantly disingenuous if not out right dishonest.
Perhaps it’s just that nobody has tried? I can’t imagine it’s as difficult as, say, Google Street View’s street number recognition.

Unfortunately I don’t have any answers to your question. I’m a rather casual observer with an interest but little experience. I only recently got interested enough to buy some books in the topic (and Sumerian history/mythology in general). It seems that the best source of untranslated cuneiform would be to physically visit the Department of the Middle East at the British Museum (not sure if anybody can make an appointment for the cuneiform study rooms or what though...)

If you or anybody else were to find a collection/library of digitized cuneiform tablets, I would be very much interested myself, more so if there are any notes or commentary.
For a long time if I posted something that the general public would be interested in (say, containing "iPhone") I'd get @ mentioned by a spam account for a related scam ("free iPhone!") or an unrelated spam for a "dating" site by an account with an NSFW profile pic.
I just realized: This site was never over HTTPS. It was an HTTP site, and the browser had a regression that broke the site's user functionality.

Troy Hunt is attempting to claim this is a feature and not a bug, and that their workaround is "being deceptive", when they never claimed it was secure to begin with.

The browser is literally pushing an idealistic philosophy down websites' throats and basically doing damage to businesses and brands without an attempt to help them, and any attempts to simply keep old functionality are being vilified as "anti-vaxers". This is not an honest narrative.

Yes, Oil and Gas International had an insecure site, and yes, their reaction and demand to the browser vendor was inappropriate. But the point of it is still valid: as a vendor, you don't embarrass and damage business reputations in order to force them to comply with the way you would like them to run their sites.

Troy writes in the article that browser vendors are trying to use a "lever" to "force organizations to go secure". I don't care who you are, it's wrong to force anyone to do anything they don't want to do, and on your timeline instead of theirs, and with absolutely no help given to them before this deadline.

Imagine if Microsoft changed their OS to flag every single application as "insecure" if it doesn't implement a new primitive, and they pushed this out today. All of a sudden, you receive a barrage of calls from upset users. You didn't know they were going to push that out (certainly Microsoft never sent you an e-mail), and you now have to hit the ground running trying to figure out how to add those primitives to your code, test them, and release them, none of which could possibly happen immediately, and may take weeks of development. Meanwhile, your reputation with your users is damaged, and users themselves go through emotional stress and fear. And Microsoft's response? "Too bad. You should have been secure already."

This is fucked up. And if Google does this knowing it's going to damage businesses, they could face a class-action lawsuit.

The only way they get away with it is because they have the biggest market share. If Chrome had a smaller user base, businesses would simply shut off access to Chrome browsers and tell them their browsers were faulty and to switch to IE. This is impressively tyrannical behavior for a software vendor, and Google is indeed being a bully.
Back in 2015 Gratipay hosted it’s second ever retreat; the idea was a full weekend of hacking and building with all of our normally-remote members of the team. The thing you need to know about Chad is he is exceptional at bringing people together and spreading his passion. I arrived a bit early to the retreat and was tasked by Chad to cook dinner. It sounded easy enough; I need to make dinner for 10 or so people, something easy like sandwiches would work right? That was when Chad brought out the giant oven-sized dutch oven, I couldn’t believe we would be making so much food for 10 people! I was peeling potatoes for hours! Turns out that night we fed over 50 amazing people from Chad’s life. All of his friends, neighbors, churchgoers, family, peers, and even random people he had inspired at the local pub.

And every time I hung out with Chad it was like this, people from all over the world, in all sorts of backgrounds and difficulties made it a point to be Chad’s friend.

Chad, you may think you didn’t get to change the world with Gratipay, but you did, you are the catalyst that will change the world for the better. Thank you.
> “economic imbalance of those who own the robots and those who are displaced by them.”

I know this is a serious risk in the future we should be well prepared for. I just hope the federal government doesn't try to step in to control it before we really understand what it's going to look like in practice and what the tangible costs are.

But having such a young leader is refreshing, even if I don't align with him on most subjects. The negative side effects of every global leader being in the 65-80s yr old range can't be understated. At least in terms of dealing with the future.

> he believes it’s not up to the Canadian government to “pick winners,” but that instead that it is their role to say that they’re going to “invest in quantum, we’re gonna invest in AI, we’re going to invest in robotics, we’re going to invest in high-value, innovative, creative, groundbreaking areas”

I personally don't see how these two things will be disconnected. At least in terms of how the various levels of Canadian government has invested in 'innovation' in the past. Which has often resulted in selective financing often to established firms well past the innovation phase, engaging in businesses better suited for private organizations (VC, office real estate, etc), and other direct investments.

That said Canada has been far better than the US in terms of supporting immigration of skilled workers and startup founders (my experience trying to immigrate to the US without a 4yr 'advanced' degree was nightmarish, despite 8yrs of experience, a solid job offer, and a US-based immigration lawyer). As well as a lower corporate tax than the US and fewer regulatory processes for wealthy angel investors.

I really hope 'investing' is being translated to "making the lives easier" of the entrepreneurs, developers, and investors. Such as making investing private capital into Canada, from the US (and elsewhere) less risky than other countries. Supporting contractors, not just fulltime employees. Helping small companies navigate complex regulatory systems without crippling their ability to compete with larger firms with teams of lawyers. Generating smart regulatory frameworks based in technical understanding of the problem, and not sensational news coverage and "something must be done" reactionary motivation.

Aka getting out of the way of companies doing the hard work and making the process smoother for them. Instead of pretending they can create pretend copies of successful Silicon Valley organization within a public structure by throwing money and buzzwords like 'innovation' at it.

I mildly resent the conclusions of the author, that Stanwix's life was "motionless" or "stationary." On the contrary it sounds like he went a great many places, met a great many people, and was involved in a great many things. He traveled by sea to Shanghai, walked many miles along unsettled Central American coastlines to reach a distant city (having to bury a companion along the way), was involved in an actual shipwreck, and so on. Sounds perfectly adventurous to me.

What did he have to do to qualify as having a "greater" life, write a new JavaScript framework?

Not everyone creates the great American novel. That doesn't make your life "lesser." If anything it might mean you spent less time at a desk by yourself.
Docker doesn't imply not having config management. In fact for our infrastructure that was using puppet to build vms, we just run puppet as part of `docker build` instead. Still using config management and our prod, staging and dev environments run the same exact blobs.
Cost of living is high in Vancouver and Toronto unfortunately. It doesn’t look better when salary is divided by COL, it looks worse. In the states, you’ll get a better deal pretty much wherever you live.

Banning nazis from your platform isn't about political correctness, unless you are a nazi sympathizer.
Justin Trudeau talks a lot, so far very little of what he has said has turned into anything concrete. For most of his term he's been more of a cheerleader than a leader. Keep in mind parliament still has to make the laws, approve grants, etc..., and his political party is still run by bankers. They're more centrist than 'liberal' despite the name.

From abstract:

"The effect of social transmission on real-world voting was greater than the direct effect of the messages themselves, and nearly all the transmission occurred between ‘close friends’ who were more likely to have a face-to-face relationship. "

So people that already were most likely aligned ideologically.
That's because it's an unconditioned stimulus (classical conditioning theory). If you repeatedly watch their videos, and like them, you'll start to associate their intro animation with the content you like, and you'll like the intro animation. Later, you'll even come up with post-rationalizations for why it's not quite so loud or useless.
> We have no atmosphere of innovation because our salaries are garbage compared to the US. This is the problem, every single time. Most of my Canadian graduate friends work for US companies, some remotely. We literally do not have economic reasons to stay here. No amount of lip service will ever transform 100k into 300k.

Continuing the theme of governments raising taxes that disproportionately affect the poor in the name of the environment: California's new gas tax is stupid.

In what is already one of the most expensive states to live in the per gallon gas tax increased by 40% on Wednesday. That means that the total state and federal taxes come out to about 77 cents [1] per gallon. While 77 cents doesn't seem like much, consider that the average cost per gallon of gas in California is around $3.10 [2], which puts the effective tax rate at around 25%.

A 25% tax rate is absolutely insane in a country where you need a car to get around. Take into account the 53 cents per mile the IRS uses as its estimator of the cost of driving a vehicle [3], the average one-way commute distance is about 8 miles [4], and the average fuel economy for California drivers is around 24 miles per gallon [5], this works out to about $10 per day in just regular vehicle expenses, or around $300 per month.

For the poor in California this is just another example of how expensive it can be to be poor.
