So, I think it's pretty common to object to monopolies and crony capitalism with defense contractors too. The what-about-ism seems out of place when you're talking about something _people already constantly complain about_.
There is an implication here that there is only one way to address the boom and bust cycle. Furthermore why is the root cause of boom and bust not addressed? Currency manipulation seems like a bandaid for a gunshot wound.
>the only continent where population is continuing to grow is Africa

No, the only continent where population isn't growing is Europe [0], where it is relatively flat. Everywhere else is growing. For individual countries, the only ones with negative growth are in Europe, Islands, and Syria [1].

Xen is very much inspired by exokernels (you could even make the argument that it is an exokernel), so it makes sense that someone would push it more in that direction.

That being said, if you're going to go that way,it's to bad that there isn't more inspiration from the past 20 years of OS design. A capability based security/object management interface would nice. I also really like Akaros's VM threads model; IMO that'll be the way we end up running what we currently call unikernels.
What makes you claim (implicitly) that Google, Dropbox, etc. are selling data from your email or storage accounts?
The "god" of the alt-right is Richard Spencer. Granted the definition of alt-right has shifted around, but by the current prevailing standard among those who adopt the label and used to do so, I think it is strictly an ethnonationalist movement. Unless you're going to cite rumors about Bannon, I'd say Breitbart doesn't quite qualify. Again, forgetting anything Bannon once said about it being the platform of the alt-right, and going by current running definitions. Breitbart would probably be considered "alt-light".
Hah, me too

A Platonic view of mathematics, not a Platonic view of the physical universe.

That is, when we say '1', we mean the abstract concept of unity, not one of any particular physical thing.
Thanks for the answer. I would have thought that 4GB is enough. Thanks for providing a data point that it might not be.
How easily can one spend an atom of gold? I can spend a handful of satoshis while sitting on the couch with my laptop.

>but that completely misses the point of the article: that the money supply isn't large enough

It seems you misunderstood my point, which is that bitcoin is not "21 million coins". There really are many more units, with the option of increasing the divisibility past eight decimal places in the future.
Thanks for mentioning us! We're currently running the Kafka 1.0.0 final release packages through our QA systems and hope to make it available for all Aiven (https://aiven.io) users next week.
A casual look shows they're also loading JavaScript via bootstrapcdn.com and googleapis.com. Security is also about attack surface reduction.
I would recommend talking to your doctor before accepting medical advice on the internet. Please do not accept medical recommendations from strangers who are not licensed to offer medical advice.

Also, if you continue to have to treat symptoms on a regular basis you did not "cure" anything, cure implies that you are free from managing your symptoms. Rather you are managing symptoms and doing nothing about the cause.
I was hoping the winking face would have led readers to understand that my suggestion was made in jest.

My point was: Many are dogmatic about tests these days, and I find it refreshing there are no tests.

Tests can be added later for something like this library, if/when the need arises - or when someone decides to spend "tens of hours" writing them.

Tests can be a measure of quality, but they aren't the only measure - and do not apply in all cases
Hi Nate, sorry, we have received a lot of applications. It's been impossible to reply to all. We also had to pause the application process during the last 3 weeks, and we are resuming it today.

I promise we'll send an email to everyone once we move to the next stage in the coming couple of weeks(we're still screening). Apologies again.
Fake news is spreading on Facebook Messenger and Whatsapp
These guys are the real deal. Awesome team based in one of the best cities in the world!
So your takehome assignment, pair programming interview, and technical interview(s) are not enough to test logic and aptitude?

Nice!
I love the double standard and the underlining continuous servitude which is created with this statement. So the reason your not well off or have multiple homes is because you don't want to work. So lets give little Johnny or Maria a little whip to the back and make them earn the scraps we give them to keep themselves alive. Oh but if banks and corporations that have hollowed out the government coffers and pensions go under because of there gambling with derivatives. Well they need a blank check, or oil companies who have been making hand over fist in money for years, lets give them subsidies, or the company thats making a trillion dollar plane that doesn't even fly. Lets give them more money!!!

I really wish we would stop picking on poor and down and out people and start making the 1% pay their fair share instead of everyone else paying for them to be the 1%.
A more specific question might lead to a better discussion:

If the economy-wide goal[0] is increasing wealth[1], then why are increasing prices better than flat or decreasing prices[2]?

[0] There is general consensus that stable economic growth is our macroeconomic goal, generally defined as increasing output per person, or GDP.
[1] Generally in economics this is taken to mean real purchasing power.
[2] An increasing money supply is a side effect of the real goal of central banks: small amounts of inflation. If a population were shrinking, or if output was contracting, it might well mean that the money supply could remain flat or decrease and there might still be inflation. But as the population grows, the money supply must increase not just to keep prices flat but to encourage slight inflation.

Keynes writes brilliantly on this topic in "Essays on Persuasion," and many of the points are addressed here in the comments. But it can generally be distilled into three main points:

A low level of inflation
1) compels business activity because businesspeople can sell things at a higher price than they paid for all of the inputs;
2) compels consumer spending because today is the most valuable your cash will ever be; and
3) compels lending because there is a cost to simply doing nothing with cash.

Without those incentives, there would be a severe pull-back in lending, spending, and business and job creation, which are the same deflationary forces fought in the 2008 financial crash.
It is 100% clear to me that differences of opinion will result in drawing the line on an ad blocker's default configuration in different places.

Would you mind sharing how long your browser was sending CSP reports to 3rd parties before you knew about it? I personally was unaware [edit]this could happen to me in Chrome with uBlock Origin installed[/edit] until this issue came up, and a free pass through ad blockers to a 3rd party seems like an advertising/tracking company's dream come true.

> JavaScript CDNs to images. No one is suggesting these should be blocked, right?

Many of these [edit](specifically: tracking pixels and just straight up ad images)[/edit] are blocked by ad blockers in the default configuration.

> The Tor-captcha-thing was about leaking the origin IP of the Hidden Service, so I don't see how it's similar.

Thank you for the correction. I apparently imagined this referenced when partial VPN or Tor is insecurely used only to access specific domains, or DNS is not also routed through.

point is, deflationary currency has already been tried before (the gold standard), and it was observed that years of deflation was not good for the economy. There's a reason we don't use it anymore.
Ah! Five thirty eight! The expert pollster that predicted 80% chance of HRC winning till the day of the election. Seems like we can trust their analysis!

Ask yourself, how many repeat failures at such a high level Will be tolerated at your job? I'd be fired after a couple. These people predicted completely wrong for the better part of a year. And prediction was their only job. The outlet should be shut down and the people should work on something else. Something they don't utterly suck at.
You probably already know this, but obligatory reminder for others: Kafka's exactly-once delivery is not the same as exactly-once execution of an arbitrary workload. E1 mode is incredibly convenient, but it doesn't solve the tricky parts of, for example, hitting an external ACH to process a credit card payment. What if the external request times out? Fails silently? Fails loudly? Exactly-once delivery can help develop solutions in this area, but it doesn't eliminate this problem domain.
Normally I'm not the fan of unneeded mobile app dependence of things (e.g. home lighting). But in this case, taking photo of your computer monitor and getting font name as result seems more convenient than taking screenshot, cropping, uploading, etc...
>>"Would they complain if the government sent money to a privatized firefighting business instead of having firefighting be part of the government?"

I believe they would (probably not as bitterly) but the second half of this, is that there is a face to this business (Musk).

Elon Musks's businesses all tend to get quite a fair bit of subsidies, which is why i think Ron Paul talks about "Cronie Capitalism"
Sysadmin/infosec guy here. We do the same thing. I was shown this a while ago and I use it on other candidates I've interviewed. Propose a problem, then as they start working through it, throw other wrenches into it or state that their solution didn't work. See what tangents they go off to.

Another neat one I was shown was, as a whiteboard test, was to write down all the letters, A-Z, then come up with the name of a command for each letter. It's a double-sided test -- it shows your ability to respond quickly, how you respond, and the ability to back up your responses.

Of course, joking questions like "vi or emacs?" can be good as well to see a candidate's character as to how they respond to technical inside jokes like that.
Because banks don't want us to save, they want us to _borrow_.
The news, on TV. Where did you find that?
Can you help me understand how Musk's ventures funnel more money from the government than his competitors? Tesla received less in federal loans than several other auto companies and paid them back early with full interest (a net gain for tax payers). SpaceX has lowered the cost of launch and again, saved money for the government/taxpayers.

The EV tax credit is not specific to Tesla, it's available to purchasers of EV's or partial EV's from all manufacturers.
Russia has exchanges in local currency with several countries already. No problem with that. And that Iraq shit won't happen this easily anymore.

GoCardless (YC S11) | London | SRE, Data, Backend, Full-Stack, andPre-sales/Solutions Engineers | Onsite | Full-time | Visa

GoCardless is building a payments network for the internet. Since 2011 we've been focused on simplifying Direct Debit for small and medium companies (who previously had no access to it) and we've expanded to serve the largest companies (think newspapers, utilities) and connect with existing payment systems in countries all over the world. We already support the UK, Europe, and Sweden and are aiming to expand to more countries over the next year.

As an engineering team at GoCardless we care most about stable, reliable, understandable code. We rely on automated testing, code review and a culture of frequent constructive feedback. We define and manage our own roadmap and run projects in whatever way works best for us.

Our stack: Rails, React, Postgres, Elasticsearch, Docker, Chef, Terraform.
We also have a bit of Go (for Infrastructure) and Python (for Data).

We love learning new things and contributing back to the community. We open source everything we can[1] and regularly host meetups and hackathons at our wheelchair-accessible office in Angel. We have a bi-weekly bookclub within the team and give internal (and external) talks about things that interest us.

Interview process: an intro call, one technical video interview, then a couple of onsite interviews (coding exercise and some chats - no whiteboards!)

I’m a big fan of this - want to point out that the motivation behind this is as much economic as it is philosophical. Apple’s stance on privacy is 100% in their economic interest because it negatively impacts Google, Facebook and Amazon’s data-driven business models without Apple looking like a bad actor in the ecosystem. These companies are its biggest threats in software and it puts moats around Apple’s hardware business
It depends on if we want our output of valuable stuff (not just consumer products, but homes, health care, education and research) to grow or not. If we want them to grow, we need a growing money supply.

If not, you won't spend your money on any of those things, and if you don't spend your money on it, the demand goes down and less of the stuff is produced.
The reason you won't spend your money today is because you'll get more tomorrow, so why not buy it tomorrow? And why spend your money tomorrow when you'll get more stuff the day after tomorrow?

And if most people aren't spending their money, you don't get any money either, because you only get money by someone else wanting what you produce (or wanting what your investment produces). Then you'll spend even less of your money, because now that you're strapped for cash, you really need to wait until the prices drop to maximize your purchase power.

It's the main reason we have near zero interest rates across the West years after 2008; that crisis was deep and we need to drive up inflation to kick start the economy for real and make the growth more equal.
I would say the title is currently correct because bitcoin isn't really going up (at least not by much) anymore.

But the rest of the post is crap. The guy who almost lost security didn't even think once about writing it down in his password manager (which he did actually have), nor did he make a backup paper. Plus the reason he got it back was because the system stored stuff in plain text.
Location: Manhattan, NYC.

Contracts: No, full-time W2 only.
