No I'm not a bot, but here is another link you should read and understand why demonetisation has been good for India. programmer_dude asked for sources and thats why I'm posting them.

Is it that surprising? Populations of animals that depend on humans has generally expanded with people. This applies to livestock, pets, vermin etc.

Mosquitoes are prevalent even in super clean places, btw. I used to live by a small creek in Austin, TX and in the summers I could basically never enjoy my yard: it would be flooded by mosquitoes (the creek would have standing water which mosquitoes require to reproduce).
Funny how morals don't scale...
The only reason we are the dominant species is because we have resources and ecosystems that can support us. The dominant species won't be so dominant anymore when ecosystems collapse.
Proof-of-Work is supposed to cost energy and there is no other way, see: http://nakamotoinstitute.org/mempool/proof-that-proof-of-wor...
Why measure it in energy/transaction? The energy is not used for transactions, but for securing the ledger. With second-layer scaling solutions you will have no limit of transactions per block.
Awesome! Not as clear-cut as I thought, though.

The BCH income also seems a lot less stable than for BTC; shooting up to twice as profitable as BTC and then down to half as profitable. I assume there’s quite a lot of variance in the time-between-blocks in the BCH network.
At the same time there are issues that need to be addressed / forced. I'm still waiting for mean spirited drivers to start bullying self-driving cars. For instance commuters cutting them off knowing they will stop to avoid an accident.

Which leads to another question. Will driverless cars report bad drivers to police? Making tech companies police informants... will laws be pass forcing this behavior?
No, it’s virtuslly impossible. And even if you could and eliminated foreign tax deferral, you’d be giving Samsung a hammer to crush Apple with. Can you imagine if Samsung keeping 80% of its profits while Apple shareholders lose 70% to Foreign, State, Federal and State & Federal Dividend taxes?

Samsung could invest more in more opportunities, while Apple would get eaten away.
he said if you're poor at 35, then its your fault.

Big difference between being poor and not rich. If you're middle class, then you're just fine.

I do agree with him. Of course, there are edge cases such as disabilities,natural disasters, and other bad luck/dangers etc...
AV is now far beyond just using hash-based detection, but you are correct that having the three binary builds will allow that to also be added to their (hopefully existing) detections. No argument there.

What you're saying comes from the documentation included in the source, yes. But if you dig into the Confluence dump from back in March, you'll see that the User's Guide and Developer's Guide PDFs for Hive were attached to one of the wiki pages already, explaining how this all worked. It did not get any press attention as it was quite mundane compared to the more interesting leaked wiki pages, but I would really hope AV companies and others in infosec noticed this already.
I think what makes me the most angry at Facebook is how impossible it is to liberate your data from Facebook. When you upload information/data to Facebook, you don't own it anymore; Facebook gives you no way to retrieve it.

Sure, they offer an archive process which gives you a zip archive of your post history in HTML, but it's not in any format that's easy to parse or process. On top of that, Facebook events are impossible to get off platform because their API does not expose any way to grab them, which keeps event invites and communication completely locked into the platform.

I'd be much more sympathetic to letting Facebook run amok if they had an actual story for meaningfully extracting data or interacting with your Facebook network without using their client. Then competitors to Facebook would actually stand a chance. But Facebook makes it as hard as possible to liberate your own data, which shows me that they have no intention on letting you leave once you're in.
Young people in Japan aren't interested in relationships: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/oct/20/young-people-j...

The reasons behind _that_ aren't so well understood but generally seem to be disillusionment with the idea of falling in love, getting married and having a family, unwillingness to fit in with traditional expectations (housewife taking care of the kids + hard working salaryman husband) or simply seeing relationships as too hard.
At least one of the employees is a host, the one played by Elon Musk's ex wife.

> Did they manage to trick Thawte into issuing real SSL certificates for Kaspersky's internet domains?

Most probably something really simple with the goal to trigger some resonance in media when nobody will ask about SSL certificates and then forget about it.
I think a lot of HOC libraries were designed assuming decorators would be standardized soon. The connect method from react-redux is definitely in that camp:

@connect(mapStateToProps, mapDispatchToProps)
class Component extends React.Component { ... }

has a certain elegance to it.
I just tried Evernote. I had a bunch of tabs open in Chrome. I installed both PashDash and Evernote extensions, then click their respective toolbar buttons. Here's what ensued.

PashDash:
The page was saved. I went to app.pagedash.com and could see it at the top of my history.

Evernote:
The extension popped up a dialog asking whether I wanted to clip an Article, Small Article, Bookmark. I didn't know the difference so just clicked Save. I got a dialog telling me I needed to reload the page. So I did and clicked the button again. That worked but took much longer than PageDash then showed another dialog saying "No Result" in large print and "Clipped to First Notebook" in small print. Ugghh. I visited the Evernote website and got a massive popup asking me if my email was still the one that I'd registered four minutes earlier. I clicked through and was redirected to a massive long URL. I could see my clipped article there, but its unclear if this massive URL is the one I should bookmark.

It looks like PashDash is simpler and faster than Evernote. I like simple and fast.

Unfortunately it looks like I'll run out of my monthly storage allowance on PashDash very quickly. And I can't see any search function in PashDash.
AWS Re:Invent Guide of Guides
No, Robot Chicken is a show that's intended for an adult audience and intended to amuse adults.

This garbage on YouTube Kids is aimed at getting children to watch it and intended to be disturbing to children. The titles say things like "educational, learn numbers" and the channels are called stuff like "Kids TV."
It's pretty remarkable that they were able to build a system more or less from scratch that "gave us the accuracy, precision, and recall numbers that all met or exceeded the OCR state-of-the-art."

> Why are these examples different?

Chrome was so much better than IE or firefox when it came out. Android/iOS replacing windows is because before that windows was the only option, then something came along that better suited their needs and they rolled with it.

Libreoffice on the other hand is a clusterfuck of awkward, clunky, unintuitive, and dated UI design. It's not even comparable to MS Office or Google Docs in terms of usability, and that's before you add the extra layer of unfamiliarity. And now google docs doesn't cost money so why would you bother using Libreoffice unless you were forced to?
Not just human-biting

--- start quote ---

... the arctic tundra actually has the biggest mosquito problems in the world, because the land there is a perfect incubator for mosquitoes.

Mosquitoes control the migrations of woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou). Their massive herds in Canada are always on the move to find food, but in the summer they travel a lot more, covering greater distances and moving to higher ground, sometimes avoiding the best feeding sites, because they are trying to avoid the gigantic swarms of mosquitoes that plague the Arctic regions in the summer

The caribou are clearly bothered by mosquitoes, losing up to a liter of blood a week during the worst outbreaks, so if asked I’m sure they’d vote for eliminating mosquitoes, and given their population size and herd mentalities they’d likely come out to vote in large numbers.

Out of curiosity, what did you need beyond something like OpenCV/Metal + Tesseract?
Not for me, at least. I would imagine that's not the case for most people, but then again I've found my judgment to be less than 100% accurate (shocking, I know).
Because it was dead when I got here, which I disagreed with but couldn't change.
Once I grokked where you were going with this article, my first thought was the awesome King of Dragon Pass [1]. Technically it looks very simple; I'm not sure whether it was implemented as a webpage, but it definitely could be. Where it succeeds better than any other RPG I've ever encountered is in forcing you to roleplay as a bronze age tribal chieftain, because "act according to the worldview and ethics of a 21st-century westerner" just isn't on the menu. The Gloranthan heroquest elements (where your characters try to LARP mythological stories as a form of ritual magic) are wonderfully out there.

Curious whether you've played it, and if so, how close it comes to the sort of thing you're aiming for.

Personally I'd rather take the opiates. I have GERD and other GI problems. Ibuprofen is likely to lead to extreme pain and discomfort. I've taken a variety of opiates in the past. They did work for reducing pain but I couldn't wait to stop. I hate the dopey feeling.
Περὶ ὕλης ἰατρικῆς, or "De Materia Medica", an early pharmacopoeia, composed over 20 years by a Roman army medic. Or another composed later, Περὶ φυτῶν ἱστορία, "Peri Phyton Historia", ten volumes just on plants, written as notes for lectures to students. Most texts written by philosophers of the day would also have included a lot more analysis.

Of course, Pliny referred to the first book and others in writing his Natural History, but it ended up as a sort of Dummy's Guide to Natural History, trying to compose a really wide subject matter into a few books over 2 years, and obviously getting a lot wrong in the process. It's fair to say nobody would have taken this seriously if not for his name.
Repatriation is the only thing preventing us from losing every large multinational corporation. Other countries corporate income tax systems are so much more attractive to companies and investors already.

Just stop taxing corporate income, it’s a corrosive tax that makes us poorer by driving off investment.
You wrote that " the fact remains that this is at least a PR disaster on all accounts."

That assumes a lot about what one considers "real life." My social circle has never included "people who only remember me because I'm in a list curated by Facebook". Whether or not these people invite me to parties makes no difference to me. I think as one gets older one finds that "Partying" with distant acquaintances becomes less and less an important part of one's social life.

What are you talking about? We change the environment all the time. Mostly there are minimal side effects. People are scared of the exceptions, because that is what gets the most attention. Its all just conformation bias and fear mongering.
Maybe you could clarify it for your good developers by giving the example with children passed as a prop. Then they'll learn two things!
Here comes Wikileaks to the Russia Rescue again. Their reputation is shot afaik
News is understood by the average person as a factual piece of information as opposed to a gossip or a rumor. They call it "Google News" and not "Stuff our algorithms find to be popular or current which may or may not be true!".
The vocal response you get on the internet when you ask why any product is failing is usually some variation of: "It failed because the company/developers didn't do things I wanted!" However, I believe the truth is less subjective than that.
> I played around with the open source Tesseract OCR, but it was way behind commercial desktop packages in accuracy/usability. It lagged especially in dealing with different document layouts.

How long ago did you use it? We use it to OCR photos of paper checks taken via smartphone and pull contact information out. It works pretty well.

Honestly — I think there is an easy solution. Require platform vendors use “trusted human” curation for videos shown to children below a certain age.

To avoid having to make a single decision about who constitutes a “trusted human” — democratize the curation process to allow arbitrary numbers of groups of humans to exist where each group can supply only one “kid approved yes/no” recommendation per video.

Then deal with the proliferation and ranking of moderation groups by making each parent manually select the set of agencies which are allowed to mark a video as child viewable. Audit the practices of the most popular agencies to ensure they consist of humans making decisions based on some human notion of child interest.

If there are insufficient numbers of moderation groups, threaten regulation or introduce regulation and provide funding for moderation non profit organizations.

This kind of setup would severely fragment the market for gaming kid psychology and likely ensure insufficient profit motive for it to continue at a meaningful scale.
Awesome, thanks for the clarification. We tots agree.

This article could be correct in 1 or 2 revs of all these devices. Which makes sense in our superscalar universe.

I believe it's because if a low status male is below in the hierarchy to someone they're trying to impress by being high in the hierarchy it makes them look bad.

I don't believe the point the researchers are trying to make is that low-status men could be lashing out because they're afraid women could beat them in the mating arena, but because women higher in the hierarchy could make them lose.

> Did they manage to trick Thawte into issuing real SSL certificates for Kaspersky's internet domains?

No, that would be huge news. They just created an invalid self-signed certificate with a Kaspersky domain in the CN. This would allow their implant traffic to hide better, as in a program like Wireshark it would just look like a server downloading some anti-virus updates instead of sticking out as a C2 beacon.

Check out the source bundle - Same can be done to create self-signed certificates for stealth in other scenarios which may require a different domain name (For example, if the target uses another program such as Chrome which periodically contacts a server to fetch automatic updates, it would use the domain of that server).

There is no significance of Thawte, other than being the CA which Kaspersky uses. This is to be expected, as the self-signed certificates are naturally going to need to look like the originals, only differing in keys of course.
I'm 100% sure the AB forums were separate from the main site and on a different onion address. Perhaps you're confusing with Hansa?

What to Do in San Francisco When You’re Wealthy? Join a Private Club
> Sounds like you you're mistaking "wealthy people" for "the cognitive elite"! The shopping behaviors you're describing are just those of people who have either the time or capital to spend trying to get marginally better stuff.

This is a pretty odd assumption. Why do you assume that doing your research means valuing money _less_?
If anything, I would assume the opposite. I grew up lower middle class with a scholarship to a school full of upper class kids, and doing my research usually meant getting the best value for my money : when you have lots of money, it's often easier to just throw a bunch of money at the most commonly purchased product perceived as luxury instead of spending your time doing research on which provides the best value.
i mean to resolder the flash chip that holds it
It was 4+ years ago. I don't remember exactly when, but the project was still hosted on Google Code at the time.

I was trying to OCR scanned scientific publications with multi-column layout and figures. I didn't expect anything to get all the captions right, or handle specialized notation, but it was important to recognize all the ordinary English words on the page and to have the text flow in the right order.
Frankly, the publishers that have their own Steam competitors are worse. Steam at least supports Linux well and listens to players more than the publishers. I do wish DLCs were less rampant, but this is a gaming industry issue and less of Steam's wrongdoing. The GoG and Humble Bundle models are proven successes at this point, and I've easily spent 5-10x more on them than on Steam.
Yes, the human is liable in that situation. The car manufacturer does not become liable just because the human did not press the horn.

But if your car can only press the horn programmatically, and you never add the code to allow the horn to function, you don't actually have a horn, that's the vehicle's problem.

Why should any multinational base itself in the US under your proposal. Apple could shift HQ to Ireland or China or France or even Germany and net tens of billions a year more.

Apple doesn’t need to manufacture in the US. It doesn’t need to base most marketing/sales/finance in the US. It could leave just software and design in CA, and honestly report far lower US profits, and it wouldn’t owe the US another dime on foreign profits.

In fact, given 2/3s of their profits are international, they should do this now. Why pay the US an additional $10B a year in taxes on computers and phones made in China and shipped everywhere but the US?

How to Compile C++ in Linux
It depends. The thing with Windows is that you have exactly one way to use it, and if your computer is old and it's specs aren't good enough, too bad.

Linux, on the other hand, can be run with Gnome 3, or with lxqt, or with i3. You can even run a desktop Linux on a raspberry pi.

So maybe Windows 10 beats Gnome 3 (although I don't know if it's true, I don't have Windows), but it definitely can't beat "Linux"

Most of the quote was someone else's words whose comment was flagged which I thought was odd and I wanted to highlight his main point which I agreed with.

But to your question, I think Bitcoin is and will be persecuted by many powerful entities, wanting to control or kill it.

Money that has a fixed monetary policy is without question a threat to political and banking power in my opinion. Politicians and banks live off of inflationary fiat and debt. Also, fractional reserve banking. [Of course, a nation would benefit collectively from a move off of fiat money, but special interests would suffer]

Both things that Bitcoin is resistant to, which means it protects value these groups are stealing out of the currency (and the economy by 2nd order effects of bad money) and puts it back in the hands of individuals.

I don't think enough people have enough of a persecution complex when it comes to attacks on their money... and the superior alternative that is Bitcoin.
$1usd == $1usd is a tautology, not a price.
