Yeah it is probably Zimbabwe that helped bitcoin increase in value. A country that has 16 billion GDP and $600 GDP per capita [1]
Even if all the people in Zimbabwe tried to buy bitcoin that day, the value of bitcoin would remain the same.

With Google's new war on Intel's ME this is not a coincidence.
> Jake Basile replied saying he just wanted to stay out of politics. I pointed out that itself was a political choice

And that was exactly where the language lawyering began. If you think there is "no way out of politics" and someone else says "I stay out of politics" then it is manifestly obvious that both parties are using different definitions of the word "politics." Any further discussion that ignores the discrepancy in the uses of words such as perceived pithy points about "HAH! gotya! that is actually a political choice!" is just confusing the entire issue, knowingly or not.

Next time, just clarify what words mean. Instead of, "hah gotya!" ask, "what do you mean by staying out of politics?" Or just charitably interpret it using one of the many variants I listed.

Strange to see this one voted gray--it makes perfect sense that with a very reliable system, people would modify their behavior (and possibly way of thinking, which is also interesting) accordingly.
I think you make an interesting observation about how communities are structured here, but there is also plenty of overt (though quiet) racism.
Yes, I know what they both are - and I don't approve of either.

However, looking at the simple finances of it (because that's what actually impacts public services) tax evasion is about 30 times bigger a problem than benefit fraud.
There are two types of algorithms . Ones we can implement with reasonable time. Then the others where we can’t implement in a reasonable time at this moment.

It's more like: you're blaming the drug dealers for telling people drugs are healthy and suppressing research that says they do any harm.
I agree and wish distro maintainers could make some changes. I would love to use manual pages, but instead I search the Internet first. If every manual had a section with most-common examples, it would help immensely. You could just type 'manexamples tar' and it would print out

tar cvf somedir filename.tar
create an archive from somedir and store it in filename.tar

tar xvpf filename.tar
extract the contents of filename.tar and scatter them around your home directory

Instead of getting examples that I might use, when I visit a man page, I get a wall of text 926 lines long, describing every possible option, including GNU option styles, or some truncated mess telling me to read the info pages.

Of course, it's appropriate that all this information is included somewhere in the manual. I just think the common use cases should be first. Does anyone need a man page for 'ls' that starts off describing how to list inode numbers and SELinux labels?

Does "fairly faithful reimplementation" not reflect this nuance? I'm not sure what you think was missing from the Alpha Go Zero paper in terms of methods, BTW. The whole thing was fairly simple [1] and all the knowledge is discovered. I think that was DeepMind's point.

Of course if Alpha Go Zero had some proprietary secret sauces that they omitted from the paper and that are needed for things to converge or whatever, you are right.

[1] I mean if you look at the code, most of it is a fast Go engine, and code to compute a residual network stack on the GPU. These aren't things that the DeepMind paper has to spell out.
> Simple jealousy doesn't explain the vehemence.

In any industry, if you attack/speak-against my beliefs/views/plans/theories, then I don't like it. Even if you didn't mean too. Even if you didn't know I existed or had those views.

It's not about science, it's about humans defending their worldview and beliefs. Even stamp collecting has this.

Anything people put time/effort into has this.

And git does work on Windows. There's even a windows logo on the official download page. https://www.git-scm.com/downloads
That's my point though. You say you don't know the job skills that you need for you to hit the ground running (which is what pretty much every employers expects these days unfortunately) and what I'm saying to you is you could develop a good understanding of these skills rapidly because of your background vs the years it takes if you have zero tech background.

You could spend nights and weekends learning postgresql/SQL, web MVC architecture, JS syntax (for node.js and frontend dev work), and http concepts, in a few months. That's enough to open a lot of interview doors.
FollowUp launches a personal CRM that prods you to keep in touch with contacts
If it were recursive it would be a form of Multi Level Marketing (MLM) scheme, which are perfectly legal but border on morally bankrupt.

It has some of the negative aspects of a pyramid scheme but the day to day operation is around selling a good or service and giving a cut to the guy who recruited you, the lady who recruited him, and so on up the chain.

At some point it’s about recruiting others to do the work for you.

My experience of those on benefits (being such myself) is not extensive but I've still come across those who've chosen to have a child, as a single mother already with children, with no long term partner, and no family income except welfare. They end up in a larger home, seemingly with more money. I can't believe I just happen to know the few people in my area who have done this.

It may no longer be a major problem as it was 20+ years ago when my mother would tell me about which of her school pupils had chosen pregnancy over working in a factory (I would have!) but it seems undeniably to be a problem.

Women can and do choose independently of men to have a child and use men only for the procreative act. Women on benefit do it, clear in the knowledge that they can get a better standard of welfare accommodation and more income that way. There are often emotional reasons too, we all desire for someone to love us.

Quips about parthenogenesis don't address that problem. That was my rather verbose point.

Yes, feel free to return to the point at hand. Treatment of immigrants with children fits in to a broader picture and can't be divorced from how we treat the native population.
Leftpad, a one time event that was fixed very quickly with a solid permanent solution? Being able to use libraries that 5,000+ other people have already vetted for quality for you so you don't have to waste a couple of hours hand writing them? That's 2 pluses right there.
Please, tell me one thing this administration has done that has empowered the majority of Americans.

I agree, for the folks that built in a 'flood pool' plain, even if they feel that wasn't adequately communicated to them when they purchased.

The folks outside of that pool, however, whose homes were only flooded because the Corp of Engineers decided to open the reservoir floodgates, have a reasonable claim for damages.

Their attorney is basing this claim on a violation of the 5th amendment, specifically relating to the state 'purposing private property for public use'.

Wouldn't it make more sense to regulate all devices that autonomously communicate with 3rd parties such as the manufacturer?

That way the regulation would also apply to self-updating smartphones, operating systems, smart TV's...

I just don't see how IoT is fundamentally more of a risk than Internet-connected devices with camera's, microphone's, light, movement and rotation sensors and GPS... while also having access to all your personal data.

Well, that gets weird. It can have shortcuts and also won't have shortcuts.

If you play Commander or multiplayer, then its usually a heck of a lot less formal. Ive also played some local tournament games where the players were good-natured and we all just had fun.

Then I've played some tournaments locally and at Gencon that were methodical and clockwork style "Please indicate what you did, step by ste-COUNTER". Or you get the priority police up and running, where you have to explicitly pass priority. I hate those games with a passion - it just drains the fun out via rules-lawyering.

I've not played in a few years, primarily because the game was feeling much more like 'loot crates' that I've railed against prior. And with $3.50/pack, I didn't feel like I was getting enjoyment. You either buy buy buy, or get left in the dust and destroyed in games because you didnt buy buy buy.
> JR also has a decent income from real estate

This is actually a big money maker for them. Train stations are malls in many cases and JR makes a lot of money from them.
It's a lot bigger and heavier than an XPS 15 though. That said, I am a big fan of Dell's business lines. The Latitude 7000 series are great machines.

I have a Latitude e7470 which I highly recommend, provided you don't need dedicated GPUs. It supports up to 32GB (non-ECC), has a wide array of ports, and is much closer to the XPS in terms of size and weight.

Amazon is making selling easy taking almost all of the steps out of the hands of the seller, sales tax should be included in this. If they don't come up with a way of facilitating tax payments and calculations in the same way they facilitate everything else, regulators are going to come and force them.

> NYC has a considerably higher population density than Tokyo

It's the other way around, Tokyo has higher population density:

Land area: 619 km2
Population density: 15,146 ppl / km2
This is really cool. I would love to hear more about this. Those bounds checking instructions will hopefully make a big difference.
NN is explicitly there to _stop_ you from competing on more than price, because introducing free market capitalism to basic infrastructure is a horrifying idea. Should utility companies be able to compete on more than price? Should roads be able to compete on more than price?

Being able to do so is great for the company in charge of the utility, but literally everybody else immediately loses hard.
If you dislike the app at this point have you considered selling it to someone else?

I have to agree. I remember several years back RoR was in every third headline.
I think that outlawing contributions from certain entity classes is tackling this from the wrong side.

The problem is that political success in the US depends on a successful marketing & sales campaign, which in turn costs a lot of money. Legislating campaign events out of existence seems to be a non-starter, but with a progressive supreme court paid political advertising could be curtailed or stopped, in return opening up debate and equal-time promo slots on network TV that uses licensed slices public airwaves. Journalists and opinion-swayers could still report on candidates as they did before, but the need to have millions of dollars to run a senate campaign would be dramatically reduced. Of course there's a big free speech juggling act that would have to be performed, but it's not an insurmountable problem.

Couple this with some relatively lightweight voting reform (IRV or something more sophisticated, plus data driven auto-districting or even proportional representation at a state level to combat gerrymandering) and a good deal of the problems with the system go away, since politicians would have to spend much less of their time seeking donations (and politicians who were still doing a lot of fundraising would stand out more and could be investigated more thoroughly.)

I thought this was going to go in another direction: if someone proposes to flip a coin, then they have probably decided that a 50/50 chance is more favourable for them than any other potential decision method (like, say, discussing what the fairest or most reasonable decision to make would be).

Hence if you agree to a coin flip that someone proposes, you have already lowered your chances of a favourable outcome for yourself.

I would happy to take his word for it, but without any proof his words are just dust and moonshine in a rant.
Yes, I could, and that was my goal throughout that time. I was doing exactly that, but hadn't focused on postgres yet.

The point is that it was impossible to know beforehand which of those skills I'd be quizzed on. It's both difficult and senseless to learn every technology just in case I'm quizzed on it in a 30 minute interview (which really doesn't give you any sense of my skills or learning capabilities anyway).

The sole way to deal with this situation is to plow through a dozen interviews until one sticks.

Winners and Losers of the 2017 US Tax Overhaul in Congress
There is a huge amount of income redistribution that is built in to the system. You have to be earning about £30k to even be a net contributor. We are all parasitic to a certain extent. And a lot of higher earners are dependant on the government in ways that should make a conservative blush.

Seperating ourselves into contributors and scroungers is self deception at every level. It makes it impossible to set tax or benefit levels that people will consider "fair". Everyone feels a sense of grievance and gets to be angry at other groups. Greate for pushing a political agenda!
You're ignoring the benefit cap, which has plunged thousands of children into poverty.
If they want a big salary and can't deliver enough value for the company or the company can't extract enough value from their skills (see above why) they might be let go, but this happens in countries with poor worker protection, like the US.

Companies in EU countries have the opposite problem, they can't easily dismiss employees, even when perhaps justified.

I wouldn't want to work in the US, it's too darwinian. A company shouldn't be able to dismiss an empoyee just because there's someone cheaper available.

I think a change to the license model to make it subscription based and then the subsequent changes to the software along with a license server would have been just as effective. No need to rewrite everything and figure out the cloud related stuff. Worked for Adobe and Microsoft.
Another very real and expensive proposition from the point of the marketplace seller is the cost of compliance in each State and within each State every municipal tax district. Collecting sales tax is relatively easy, filing to remit that tax in each state is a varied, difficult and expensive process that most "mom and pop" retailers can't easily comply.
Since there is no precedence in this (hypothetical) language that would be an invalid expression.
I live in a state that does not have sales tax. But if I purchase something for a family member, and have it shipped to their house, I pay the sales tax for their state. So even though I'm the buyer, sales tax actually works based on where the product is shipped to.

So number 2 should probably not be about where the buyer resides, but where the buyer ships the product.

The fact that patronage can be good for the Arts is not in question but if you do a search for great artist that die in poverty and unrecognized during their lifetime you will find plenty of very famous name.

My rapid search brings me El Greco, Claude Monet, Johan Sebastian Bach, Franz Kafka, Johannes Vermeer, Edgar Allan Poe, Herman Melville, Vincent Van Gogh from http://www.toptenz.net/top-10-now-famous-artists-died-ignomi... ; I think it wouldn't be fair to consider them minor artist.

Art co-exist with society for more that 17,000 years if you consider Lascaux. It doesn't make sense to reduce Art to profitable or bankable Art.

To produce Art can be expensive and can be cheap, without money you will not produce beautiful marble statue or Faberge eggs but Art doesn't do be expensive.
