There is another big reason why there isn't a great ecosystem.

The C mentality of some devs dragged into C++ world.

Already in the 90's we had very nice high level C++ libraries, that could compete with what Java offered later.

Turbo Vision on MS-DOS, Object Windows Library and Visual Components Library on Windows. All from Borland.

PowerPlant on Mac OS, from Metrowerks.

From Microsoft, we had MFC, which started high level like those ones (originally named Afx), but then the beta testers requested for it to just be a thin layer over Win16 and it was reborn as MFC.

Many of the modern C++ patterns were already possible with those libraries, but the C wisdom made many not use them.

Another modern example is Android NDK, Google writes the code in nice C++ classes, that get exposed as low level C APIs, or have a Java JNI barrier (e.g. Skia).
Are these people really irrational, or are they just messing with everyone? I agree NASA shouldn't bother with them much, but more because there's no point in engaging with trolls than because they're irredeemably ignorant.
This is just another stupidity fad. America's full of them: flat earth, anti vaccination, climate change deniers, etc. It's fashionable in certain circles to be an idiot.
The article says he only offers it in the Japanese version:

Just had an idea... what about call center providers? They already collect speech data for training purposes and transcription could most likely help there!
The modern version is more depressing. Companies let humans do the work, while using the proceeds to develop AI solutions which eventually put those people out of work.
Facebook doesn't allow porn, so reporting it should be sufficient.
For CME (and perhaps NASDAQ) they are doing cash settlement instead of physical settlement of the Bitcoin since it would introduce significant overhead. They are going to use a reference rate called their "Bitcoin Reference Rate" which has a collection of exchanges that it uses to determine the spot price.
I'd like to see it applied to completely different things, what does it do to animals, a grid, a brick wall, a car, etc.

It used to end with "... and this is what what happened." I would prefer "...and it saved my business" or "...it made me quit." Even removing that clickbaity suffix makes me feel better.

> You only need to compromise 2-3 of the major mining pools and suddenly a 51% attack isn't so unfathomable,

Nodes control consensus in bitcoin, not miners. If miners ever 51% attack, the nodes simply change the pow algorithm. Miners get crushed. That's why they don't dare.

You should probably learn how bitcoin works. It's great.
Really? 1000+? That's crazy.

There is a great irony in the fact that cryptocurrencies are designed to be finite in size to ensure their value, yet the number of potential cryptocurrencies in the world is pretty much infinite.
My thoughts exactly. I executed it just in case.
Reading the thread on that tweet, I have no idea if @FlatEarthOrg is really advocating for a flat earth, or just a parody account.
Take your money before anybody asks for their money back. As a merchant, you will have signed a contract with the payment processor agreeing to certain terms, and they cannot change those terms unilaterally. That scenario is as useless as imagining the main mining groups deciding to roll back to an earlier block.

ReasonML this year, or that's the plan. Excited for it!
I actually despise this argument, though, because it's increasingly used to prevent legitimate arguments from happening.

There is a growing likelihood for people in this country to feel that their ideas are so morally correct, that opposing viewpoints should be ignored or suppressed. Two very common arguments I hear that seek to accomplish this are that a debate should not be had because they don't want to create a "false equivalency" (the argument you're making here), or that they don't want to provide the other party with a "platform." There is no such thing as a false equivalency in debate. In reasoned discourse, foolish ideas should be exposed and dismantled.
Market does not set prices. People and companies do, and they tend to set them as high as possible especially in "markets" with significant barriers to entry. Including regulatory ones.
Removing carrier protecting does not help incumbents because the major cost in this "market" is infrastructure.
Competition is not a magic bullet when it barely exists.
> I don't know what possible source gave you the idea that divisibility == unlimited, but sadly, it's wrong.

It would require a hard fork, but it is technically possible to increase the divisibility of the base satoshi unit. And it should be an uncontroversial change if needed, since it will not require any redistribution of money.

With that said, it doesn't seem likely that the value of a bitcoin will increase in the near future to the point where we will actually need more than 21 quadrillion units of precision.
> I've always been a negative detractor of bitcoin. But then I realized the problem was it was marketed wrong. As a currency, it's a nightmare of a creation. But as a store of value, it's actually pretty good.

This claim is absurd. Bitcoin is patently bad as a store of value, and that's perhaps bitcoin's worse and and most ill-suited applications. Even ignoring the speculative pressures and value manioulation being conducted, just look at how much bitcoin's market value has been fluctuating. Even yesterday it suffered a 10% drop for no reason at all. Who in their right mind believes it's a good idea to store value in a highly volatile service subjected to such speculative pressures?

Nowadays bitcoin sounds a whole lot like a pump-and-dump scheme, where shills come out of the woodwork praising bitcoin's magic and supernatural properties to fool unsuspecting fools to keep pumping money into the fraud.
To provide a bit of reality check in relation to your answers:

1. This Govt. has, in a recent affidavit to the Supreme Court, claimed the Aadhaar database has never been hacked.

2. Other government agencies — including state governments and the National Informatics Centre have made Aadhaar details and data public, or accessible publicly.

In the case of the National Informatics Centre, supposed to be "the premier science & technology organisation of Government of India in informatics services and information and communication technology (ICT) applications" and is "a part of the Indian Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology's Department of Electronics & Information Technology", an API proxy to the Aadhaar eKYC service was made available on the public internet:

i. With an HTTP, not HTTPS, endpoint;

ii. With a single auth-token, used for all calls to this API proxy, embedded in an Android app the NIC put out;

iii. That was abused publicly by someone for their Android app providing access to "demographic data like name, address, phone number of individuals" without any authorization required.

3. There are no existing data privacy laws. There are no laws to punish, or even state what can be done, in situations of data breach.

4. The Govt. is just now in the beginning stages of forming data protection laws.
They do, but privacy is a major concern.

The bigger problem is, of course, that you need speech data with (fairly) accurate transcripts for training ASR systems. These typically don't exist for call center calls.

I retired a few years ago, shortly after I turned forty. I worked in Silicon Valley for a long time and saved almost all of my take-home income, which is what allowed me to amass a large sum.

When I was living in Silicon Valley, I couldn't wrap my head around how much pointless consumption my colleagues engaged in. Couldn't they see that they could escape this stupid rat race and leave if they just saved their money? I guess the liked the rat race more than I did. I hated the rat race and don't regret leaving. I should have retired sooner.
Amazon can verify this identity using a Govt provided API. The verification can be performed with or without holder's knowledge.

There are multiple issues with this identity. The Govt is using private players to enrol the residents into this platform. There were multiple instances where people paid bribe to get multiple IDs in different name. And, the enrolment agencies with MoU with Govt can keep the data of residents, including biometric data. There is even a search facility available with around 1500 users who can search any details about 1bn+ people.

Above all, if your ID is misused, you can't approach courts. You can lodge a complaint with Govt call center. Only Govt, after investigation, can approach a court on your behalf. Other option is to approach a constitutional court directly, which is expensive.

The Supreme Court is supposed to take up this issue sometime in the near future.

Indeed, like the whole "movement". Their site though, has news, a forum and Wiki: https://www.tfes.org

I suppose there's a spectrum of how firmly tongue is planted in cheek.
Let’s say the price of bitcoin is $10000. You want to go long using futures, so you start buying contracts. A few people will want to sell futures at $10000, but not for a trillion dollars. If you want to buy more futures, you will have to pay more. If you offer $11000 there will be more people willing to take the other side of the bet. And if the price of the underlying is still $10000 arbitrage is possible. I could buy one bitcoin for $10000 and sell you the future for $11000, pocketing $1000 no matter what the future price of bitcoin may be. That creates demand for bitcoin if there is huge demand for futures, pushing prices up.
126 is for airline pilots. Barely any modern aircraft flies with an actual flight engineer. There are probably less than 100 flight engineers in service at the airlines. The BLS page clearly state the difference b/t the two. BLS also has 105 for 'airline and commercial pilots', but a big gotcha here is that the commercial jobs they included are typically the low paying jobs that pilots take to build hours in order to get an airline job (i.e. crop dusting, sightseeing, air tours, oil and gas flights). Think of them as internships. So, you're going to see a disproportionate number of <1-2 year pilots in the commercial group who are still trying to get their first actual pilot job. Regardless, the numbers clearly indicate that more pilots are airline pilots than not and that the average salary of an airline pilot was 126k in 2016. The BLS numbers also note that they don't include pilots' per diem. For every day away from home, a pilot receives a stipend to cover their expenses. Considering that all of their work is away from home, this is a not insignificant amount of untaxed additional income. A final big hidden value is the low end of the airline pilot spectrum. New airline pilots need what is called a type rating in order to pilot a specific aircraft. These are expensive and a source of income for pilots. So, new pilots at airlines are again taking low salaries for other forms of value. I don't know if all airlines do, but some definitely offer new pilots type ratings as part of their salary. This, again, would lead to a $20,000 salary but closer to $40-50,000 in benefit received.
Introducing Amazon Elastic Container Service for Kubernetes
From what I can see - it’s because they push market competition away as a separate issue, and also reduce the matter to a question of only American telecom.

Also - Normal people also don’t assume That firms are rational in any way other than bottom line maximization, and accept that there is regulatory capture.

I don’t know if this has been addressed in their supporting papers though.

Within their narrow definition they are not wrong. Recognizing it and engaging it makes for better arguments, and if necessary a change in positon.

The problem is the "free but not everywhere" market you'd continue having when removing Net Neutrality. People are still not free to start deploying their lines and routers where they want to: you'd have monopolies and duopolies in most area free to charge whatever they want to whoever they want. The consumers (end users and content uploaders)? No freedom to setup their lines.

This is an infrastructure problem. And lot of free market people would have no problem seeing it managed by the state like roads, electricity and water infrastructure.
>Economists think that you should let markets set prices. shocking.

Economists think that their big fat corporate overlords should get trillions in infrastructure subsidies from government money and then "let markets set prices", ie. those who got privileged by said money and monopolized the industry.

> Everything is string-ly typed and you can only build up a thing to a certain level of complexity easily.

Yes, make was designed for the 1970 world, where all you care about is building simple utilities on Unix. There was no today's complexity (out of tree builds, cross-compilation, etc) nor "alien" platforms like Windows where people have spaces in their paths.

What we need is to redesign make to handle today's requierements. And this is what we are trying to do with build2.
>So you are making a general argument on the toxic role such generalizations have? ;)

Yes, on the toxic role SUCH (not ALL) generalizations have. So no need for sarcasm ;)

(Generalization, I'd say, is both the start point of knowledge, and the start (or maybe end?) point of prejudice. It's a tool. If it's not representative, or if it's representative but misreads the causes why it is so -- e.g. "blacks are overrepresented in jails because they're an inferior race with crime in their dna", it's harmful. Otherwise, it allows us to use abstractions, which elevate our thinking just like a higher level programming language does).
Wouldn't this be the opposite? By bundling the speech model so that it's on the client device instead of their server, your speech need not leave your device.

The original submission title ("Majority of economists against net neutrality") is at best a distortion of the cited survey's results. Even without considering the confidence-weighted outcome, 44% of those polled "agree" or "strongly agree" that allowing content companies to pay more to ISPs for prioritized traffic is a good idea, while 56% are either "uncertain," "disagree," or have no opinion. (The confidence-weighted outcome is only 1% different.)

Also, this survey appears to have been done in 2014.
Old study and bad title.

Article published May 6th, 2014.

The majority actually don't agree with the question of: "Considering both distributional effects and changes in efficiency, it is a good idea to let companies that send video or other content to consumers pay more to Internet service providers for the right to send that traffic using faster or higher quality service."

The majority are found in the combined groups of Uncertain, Disagree, or Strongly Disagree.

Edit: Reading over the economists' comments it is obvious that many who support the question(are against net neutrality) have no idea how the internet works or the monopoly/duopoly position of most ISPs.

What are there flaws in the Bitcoin as digital gold analogy? I don't follow r/Bitcoin and would appreciate a summary.

From my limited level of understanding, it seems that the only differences are that you know that Bitcoin has no inherent value at all (gold has some since it can be used to make jewelery and gold-plated audio connectors, among other things) and you know exactly how much Bitcoin can ever be mined.
This just shows that you can't measure freedom of choice in dollars. Depending on who you ask, slavery was pretty good for the economy too.

The Peculiarly Quiet Decline and Fall of the KVM
You should not think of bitcoin as a payment network, and do not expect its tech innovate rapidly. It is digital gold. Its most important property is to be secure and battle tested. I think bitcoin will be even bigger than it is now. If you zoom out into hundreds of years timeline, it has a historical significance: to store value in an extremely secure and relatively convenient way without trusting a third party. That is big. Probably will be bigger than 172 billion dollars market cap. It is competing with gold, which is something like $7 trillion.
If you are interested in the future of payment, than you should invest into sometinhg like Dash instead, which is specifically designed and marketed for payment. Its price is rising rapidly, but it has not blown up as much as bitcoin yet. I hold an almost equal amount (in dollar value) in Dash as in Bitcoin.
