FYI this is not the reason Ethereum failed as a blockchain. Security bugs are bad, but what's worse is 9GB/week bandwidth requirement = 3 hours sync on average world connection, if you're lucky.

No idea why everyone ignores this metric. And that's why Bitcoin is still somewhat blockchain (also poor sync, but doable)

Quite interesting. Luckily I moved away from my Parity Multisig a while ago and use my Trezor now. The multisig is vulnerable...

I love this feeling of living on the edge when I know that I just evaded a critical bug that could have cost me a lot of money.

Though, a lot of people who aren't me will be a lot more angry, especially (and probably only) people actively using the multisig.
This is actually similar to what we have in sweden. The workers union negotiate with the employers, usually represented by an industry organisation.

It works fine in the sense that it means that we don't need minimum wage laws and the minimum wage therefore varies based on the job.

Usually there's a lack of representation of those who are not employed anywhere. So the union tend to prefer higher wages rather than increasing the number of jobs.

Writing new code also take time and money, which is why LGPL (including LGPLv3) is heavy in used in industries which have a lot of compeition and no time or money to waste.

To take a example, I often see LGPLv3 in big AAA games. I also see licenses that say "we asked the developer in a email and received special permission". Game studies seems to happy spend legal advice time if it saves them developer time, and from where I stand it seems to be a clear competitive advantage to do so. The only licenses they don't use is those that conflict with their core business model.

Not just maths. It can be used to typeset books on any topics quite well, I did it for while a few years back. Text format makes it easy to convert any sources to it, and if you don't need many formulae nor tables/figures typesetting becomes pretty trivial. And unlike visual typesetting tools you almost can make an error of moving some guide too far or something, if you say 10mm margin it'll be a 10mm margin (visual tools have their use, I guess, just not when you're a geek and prefers to see code and not a picture). And it even warns you about underfilling/overfilling, what's not to love?

And speaking of word/openoffice/google docs. Those are text processing tools, not typesetting ones. If you need typesetting on any complexity their are the absolute worst choice. If your CV has a very simple structure and style, on the other hand, sure, go ahead.

I wonder if any tech recruiters notice this kind of things... If I wanted to hire nerds, I'd surely notice. CV made in word, marked with "not geek enough" :)

I wonder if they lost a lot of non-US/Canada customers (like me) when they changed their printing set-up. You used to be able to buy a couple of T-shirts and have them shipped as one batch, so shipping and handling fees were reasonable when you ordered three T-shirts at once. I've gotten a good number of shirts from them this way.

A few years ago I tried ordering a few T-shirts again, but didn't get past the final order screen because custom-printed using Direct-to-Garment T-shirts had varying processing times, so I would have had to pay shipping fees for each separate T-shirt. That may be fine for domestic shipping (and Canada), but it quickly turns the deal unappealingly expensive anywhere else.

> I'm a bit of a control freak, so this lack of insight into the innards makes me (quite possibly unreasonable) uncomfortable

Ok, that could be the reason why you don't like Rails :)

Regarding postgres, its innards become relevant when you have partitioned tables with billions of rows and need to run queries on them for analytics purposes. In these cases you often need to manually create some complex queries from scratch; other times, you can use ActiveRecord "magic" up to a point, but then you either need to add special indexes (eg partial indexes, that saved my ass many times), or you need to replace the automatically-generated queries that ActiveRecord uses and which are good for small numbers, but become a bottleneck when scaling.
Since there are some GCP folks here occasionally: is there any ETA for PostgreSQL going GA in Google Cloud?

So he used money from the management fee to get himself extra carry? I'd assume that the carry would have to be evenly distributed to all the partners. Also, if he's able to get superior returns without spending his management fee, what's wrong with reinvesting the unspent money into the carry to benefit the partners (as long as it's equally distributed)?

If I get this correctly, this is what happened:

The parity wallet uses a "shared library" in which the actual logic is implemented. All individual wallets have their own data storages and coin balances, but contain just a little bit of logic code that redirects calls to this shared codebase.

This shared library itself is also just a contract, except that it's intended to be called internally by other contracts (the different wallets). Though it typically doesn't happen, it can be called directly by humans. This is what the makers of this "shared library" apparently forgot to consider, until somebody called the "initialization function" of the shared library directly.
By doing this, the shared library initialized itself as if it was one of the individual wallets that normally call the library. It therefore used its own (previously unused) data store, in which it correctly entered the caller of the init function as owner.

This wasn't of use for anything, as there are no ethers at all on the shared library, so the owner could not steal any funds. But being the owner, he was able to trigger the kill switch! Since this particular "multisig wallet" was actually not a wallet, but the shared library, killing it not only killed the (empty) wallet, but also the core functionality of all the real wallets that contain real money out there! And of course that functionality is mandatory to work with the funds of these wallets. Without it, the money cannot be moved anywhere.

Now comes the fun part: suiciding a contract normally transfers all ethers on that contract to the caller of the suicide function. Knowing this, you could expect that the individual wallet owners could just as easily suicide their now "brain-dead" multisig wallets as well, thereby recovering their funds...but that doesn't work, as performing the suicide requires a call to the shared library to check whether the callers' signatures qualify the caller to perform that suicide ;-)

It is not relevant that you were on the internet before Google even existed.

That’s where you’re wrong: I’ve used the double quotation marks search technique since before Google and I’ve known about it and used it since Google’s debut.

I already told you I’m not compiling anything and can’t give you a reproducible test case right now but you chose to disregard that; I’ve also told you what to do to reproduce the problem yourself (“attempt to compile GCC, get an error, search with Google with and without double quotation marks”), but you don’t want to do that because it’s a lot of work, I know, but that’s your problem and here’s why:

The burden is on you to show that there is a teapot orbiting the Sun.

that is why, since you’re wrong again: I’ve switched to “DuckDuckGo” as my primary search engine and rarely use Google any more since the results are nothing but advertising-soiled false positives; I don’t care whether you do something about it or not. Now, you might wisen up and take my feedback about exact or partial error searching earnestly or not. You wanted feedback, you got it; your move on what to do about it. Good luck.

Gotta stroke that grey beard
This brief comment intrigues me; can you provide more detail?
I completely disagree with the article's conclusion. But, this is a pretty good article. It actually cites opposing views, including linking to them, and tries to make its case logically. Great writing!

That said, I'm not an economist, but when I see an issue such as this, in which leading economists disagree with some position, I don't think the takeaway of one article should be "I now know what the truth is". I mean as the article itself says, lots of leading economists think a minimum wage is bad. So if after reading the article your position is "well clearly I now know better than people who have spent their whole lives on this topic", you're being arrogant.

Also, from the economists I do hear on a regular basis, it's pretty clear that they're all very anti-minimum-wage. Obviously this is a self-selected sample, but I get the feeling that most economists aren't particularly pro minimum wage - they're either indifferent or at most think that there are some tradeoffs that can be made in favor of the minimum wage. But there are tradeoffs, as in the econ 101 model isn't wrong. It's just worth it sometimes.

On the "empirical" question, I tend to side with Bryan Caplan here - there are studies going both ways, but since in almost every other situation basic supply/demand models are correct, there's got to be really strong evidence against assuming supply/demand models work for labor, too.
Best advice I can give to people who "don't get art" is to go to a museum and get lost for a while.

Second best advice I can give is to not try to "figure art out". Don't try to assign deep meaning to a piece that you think should have it. Yes, lots of art works on multiple levels - in concept and in execution - but none of that matters if you can't connect with art in the first place.

Personally, the first time I ever saw a Mark Rothko painting in person create a seismic shift in my understanding of art and more specifically painting.

To me, viewing art is like listening to music you really love. You will know immediately if you enjoy the piece, and will learn to appreciate it more and more every time you look at (or listen to) it.

People get too hung up on the "meaning" of art. What is the "meaning" of your favorite song? My guess is that your connection to your favorite song is rooted in familiarity, nostalgia, or pure enjoyment, and not in the literal meaning of the lyrics (although that is entirely possible!).

Go and see art in person. Looking at it through a computer screen is bad for you and bad for artists. Go to local gallery openings, museums, or art studios.

The only reason it is contentious is because of the 'core' group who want to profit off of crippling the main chain. If you mean that there should be a more dynamic way of choosing max block size, I agree. If you mean that there is any technical limitation to blocks being orders of magnitude larger, there is a lot of evidence to the contrary and anyone syncing with the chain can tell that it doesn't take much CPU power or bandwidth.
