Nowhere does it say that third parties cannot provide information about you. Location data using cell tower usage is not the user's "person, house, paper or effect". It belongs to the operator.
This is not surprising. When I was growing up kids mainly entertained themselves or each other the vast majority of the time. When I was a kid 99.9% of the time I did my own thing and didn't interact very much with adults.

Now people want to entertain their kids all the time.
The negative examples in this case would be equally if no more scarier.

Also unlike most people think, these days nobody has their money stored beneath their mattress.

More or less all money, is invested some where.
You are right, I am using money laundering to mean 'anonymous monetary transfer of arbitrary size/value', which most governments don't allow as far as I know.
Well, if you can gerrymander the vote, then your vote may not count as much as others.

Definitely agreed that Congress is not executing their congressional rights as strongly as they should. The unauthorized wars combined with the fact that it's a guarantee that AUMF will continuously be approved is just one example.

Congress is simply too worried about toeing the party line and their own reelection to understand it's collective power.
they are great for ponzi schemes. still remains to be seen if they are good for anything else.
The truth is, nobody really knows what is driving the price up. It’s not the DNMs, the high price and fees are a PITA for them. Could be artificial pump via USDT. Could be individuals or even nations under financial sanctions dumping cash into the markets. Could be speculators in Western markets. Could be people in countries with unstable currencies looking to hedge their losses. We know all of these are factors - unless tethers are actually backed 1:1 by USD - but due to the decentralized and pseudonymous nature of the currency there is little way to know what the prevailing reasons are unless and until it all comes tumbling down. Gox blew up in 2013 and the full story only came to light (well, sort of) this year.
There was nothing stopping Satoshi re-joining and buying back 100,000 cheap coins once there was enough transactions to hide the fact that it wasn't him.
Tether announced a hack in which they lost 30 million USDT, not USD. As they don't plan to redeem those USDT to USD, in no sense Tether lost 30 million USD. As far as I can tell, Tether lost nothing.
But there have been multiple bitcoin forks— bitcoin cash essentially doubled the amount of bitcoins in circulation.
I wonder why we have the USPS Chinese subsidy? [1] Seems this makes the shipping fraud too easy as it is low cost.

It was a small epacket -- a special subsidized shipping option that the USPS offers Chinese merchants, effectively enabling them to ship a parcel from China to the U.S. for less than it costs to send that same parcel domestically

Due to the unbalanced pricing policies of the United Postal Union and subsidies from the U.S. Postal Service, it costs people in China virtually nothing to ship small packages to the U.S.

No way their distribution contracts would allow that.
https://www.google.com/search?q=apple+report+security+bug does bring https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201220 right up, but that page documents "how security researchers, developers, law enforcement personnel, and journalists can contact Apple to report or ask about a security issue" -- notably absent from that set is "your average Joe who stumbled upon something entirely by accident" for some reason.
Ask HN: What notes app do you use?
I am looking for a new notes app to use and wondering what you guys use. I really like using plaintext and markdown, but I would also really like to be able to annotate/draw with a stylus.
I think yes, a couple for business, a couple for games, and so on. One for landings and news, i.e. web. Hint: not a platform itself is important, but sort of regular professional committee behind it. E.g. there is no committee now for even basic UI. Ubuntu has it, Mac/iOS has, even Windows has native look and feel to lesser but noticable extent. Web simply doesn’t. Open Windows SDK for example and feel how many areas are not yet covered and never will with current approach.

Chances are I didn’t understand your second question, but if taken literally: I can’t see how usage control may help. Anyone can use anything at their legal will.
Interested in the age range as well. Huge difference between infants, prek, k-middle school and beyond.
...or because the positions are smaller (and even less salient), it becomes easier to buy off a bunch of smaller reps. If the rep for Chattanooga is corrupt, would you know? Do you even know who they are, right now?

I'm not aware of any academic research on this off the top of my head, but it must exist, that's probably a better reference than a belief that everything changes if we adjust some numbers. That's a very engineer-oriented approach, but it misses that the current crisis (can we call it that) is social. People have to decide they will not support and/or elect unethical morons who say what they want to hear. Until then, it doesn't matter, and you aren't going to be able to reform the system without getting reformers into it, anyway. If you can do that, why is a massive change needed?

Don't mean to be a complete dick about this, but any supporting evidence would be appreciated. You made a logical leap (more reps = less corruption) which is not at all obvious.
P vs. NP Problem
This is the correct answer. Also, many of them have sold previously for reasons and lived/ live with severe regret. This is how HODLers are born.
Yes, at least 6x in my experience trying to replicate a Western way of life in Asia. Japan and HK being notably challenging in terms of costs.
That's only the positive side of it.

For all this talk of inequality, why don't poor all over the world just throw their national fiat currencies under the bus and start all over from scratch? Sure doing this every few decades should ideally reset the wealth counter to 0 for most of the top 1%.

That is where fiat currencies come in. Because you don't want extreme situations in either case. Do you seriously want a certain large section of world population holding the entire global financial ecosystem at gunpoint and dictate its terms?

Pay x% taxes as we demand or we fork the blockchain and reset it all to 0.
I'm not saying I disagree in general but, in this case, I don't think the megacongress would help. The issue here is that the vast majority of citizens do not know or care about net neutrality.
Racket has a really interesting way of doing things. It has sort of global variables that can be set for only a limited time and are only seen by the setting thread.
Were they talking about net neutrality or digital privacy at the time?
The parent might be saying that we already have some good techniques for speeding up raw number crunching in parallel, so it's not as desirable to add yet another.

Hi, how are your "Personalized plans using sophisticated data analysis" protected from extrinsic fraud and extreme drops in value?
Percentiles are ideal. But when you want to report the results of 34 experiments in less than a quarter of a column (see Table 2 referenced above), you gotta make some simplifications.
Doesn’t hypervolume just grow geometrically as dimension?
And this is where the "it takes five times as much RAM to run a GC'd program with the same performance as the equivalent program with explicitly managed memory" bit kicks in.

Value semantics covers 95% of your object-lifetime needs. The other 5% can be covered with some form of reference counting and being smart about strong vs. weak references. Tracing GC is like bubble sort: almost always a suboptimal solution.

Bitcoin Cash is BCH. Bitcoin is BTC. There will only be 21M BTC. As far as I know, there will also be 21M BCH. But BCH != BTC.
That's definitely the modern day problem! Can't believe how often you go to playgrounds and a parent is on their phone the entire time. It makes me self conscious every time I need to use my phone for something important, as I don't want to be that parent although I have been in the past. I removed the Facebook app from my phone and that's helped, among removing push notifications, putting it on silent etc... phone addiction is a real problem, as is social media consumption.
Well, this is a great point. Gmail eventually grew into a B2B-B2C model. Users get a reliable mail service with a nice interface, Google gets ads revenue, and then Google sell business Gsuite. There is a trio-business relationship, hence why I think it's a B2B-B2C. We can cite Facebook, Yelp, LinkedIn as similar examples.

I guess startups that provide utilities (I can't figure out a better word, but think Github/Gitlab/CircleCI) should charge as early as possible, whereas startups focus on user contents can remain free for a long period of time, and then think about how to get users to pay (think of Tumblr's paid themes, although really unsuccessful from my perspective).

Everyone takes a different path and some just won't last no matter which approach to take.
Fiat means by decree, or order. Typically we mean by government when we use this word.

Essentially, the government creates it by law and then forces you to use it.

I'm struggling to see how this applies to bitcoin.
Again, disagreed when the point of your technique is better cache and memory hierarchy performance. Much of my own work aims to perform better given the realities of modern systems. Trying to factor such things out removes the thing being measured!
That’s probably true for smartphones, which would still have other significant improvements every year or so (like displays, performance, and networking) to incentivize owners to upgrade.
Only if people use it.
Currency is a medium to exchange value(Work or outcome of work). Value can be created/destroyed from/to something(Generally work), currency is just a 'medium' to trade the value.

Currency itself has to be created out of thin air.

Limit their access to these devices. After a pre set amount of time you take away their devices or data and they have to figure something else to do.
Really depends on the outlet. Yellow tabloids often release names, ages, and addresses with no regard to people's privacy.

Case in point: www.bz-berlin.de has an article about this case listing the full name of the suspect, the businesses in question and even a picture of one of them. For those who really need to know: She's Vietnamese.

Weird part being that her name is only mentioned because she supposedly gave an interview to the paper (while opening her door..), yet the only quote from her, in the whole article, is "I can't say anything, I don't know anything".
Learning Erlang/Elixir is like learning a new paradigm, or a new way to think about programming. You can then apply these concepts to other languages. It's made me a better programmer.

Kotlin, IMO, is just a "better" java. It would be just learning new syntax if you are already familiar with java like languages.
Apple's support forums aren't a place where Apple provides their users with support, they're where Apple users seek support from other Apple users, mostly unhelpful and often inaccurate support.

In fact, 99% of the time the only advice you'll get is "restore your iPhone", "restore your MacBook Pro", "restore your Apple TV" and so on into bitter infinity.
Then just use JQuery? Nobody is stopping you. Those modern frameworks are excellent if you're making anything bigger than a blog.
Here's an interesting presentation by the Winklevoss twins that steps through the elements and narrows down which could be used as currency and why:

However, if you try to liquidate those assets, they fall in price. But some more than others.

E.g. there's no even $100 billion in Bitcoin invested. If someone tries to sell, say, $1 billion worth (1%) of Bitcoin, the price falls down rapidly and they never going to get anything close to the billion $.

Not so with gold. The price will fall down too, but not so much. One can easily sell 1% of the world gold reserves, for price close (lower, but close) to it's market value.

Maybe one day Bitcoin will behave like gold, but certainly not today.
I wasn’t aware that faster charging shortens lifetimes. Does that mean that (using completely made-up numbers) that a battery will reduce to 80% its initial capacity after 10,000 slow charges, but after 10,000 fast charges its capacity would reduce to, say, 50%?
Part of it is that even if 100% of them come to fruition, it takes a few years at least for the tech to be in batteries you carry around.

We have been spoiled by the web to expect a whole other time scale, but physical technology still takes the time it has to take.

My - not very informed - impression is that battery technology actually is moving very fast, considering the timescale constraints.

It's not academic, but perhaps the founding fathers were onto something. The original constitution set the number of House Representatives to 1 for every 30,000 citizens. It was not until 1911 that the House capped the number at its present 435. [0]

Actually the two incident is pretty similar.

While Google has not let Chrome stagnate, the Chrome today is no longer the Chrome when it was released. Chrome has definitely felt slower and heavier over the years. Google today is no longer the Google it once was*, and it is getting lots of sticks over privacy problem. Firefox happens to be in the right place at the right time.
I made a mistake, but this is the problem with online comments -- brevity leads to necessary oversimplification. Gadaffi was trying to oust the type of central bank they had been forced to have in Libya. I will explain.

Admittedly this is pretty far out in the realm of Wrongthink. Just look at Investopedia or an econ text book, and what they say about the question: does the Fed print money. They say no[1].

This is utterly, undeniably false. After the 2008 financial crisis the Fed's balance sheet ballooned to 4.5 trillion. How did they get that money? I can assure you that they did not (1) take out loans, or (2) produce goods or services at a profit. They electronically debit an account with money, and then go to Wall St and buy what no one else wanted to buy.

What did Gadaffi do? He tried to kick out their central bank that was imposed on them by the UN, by creating a gold standard.[2]

Most elite politicians are not nice people. They don't care about unjust wars, constitutional abuse or torture. They laugh like maniacs at Gadaffi's torture and death[3].

Fake News is just a useful term to disparage Wrongthink.

Every government in the history of this planet has a natural tendency towards cronyism and tyranny. If you take the headlines at face value and don't take the time to actually investigate the legitimacy of the facts then you are no different than any other subject of any other government in history, willingly subjugated to their ideas of what is right and wrong.

If Apple released a patch in less than 24 hours I’d be seriously concerned about the QA that had gone into the patch.
This is such a lazy comment and it comes up every time. It contributes absolutely nothing.
I feel it’s more of a core building block for eventual Excel killers in various verticals.

It’s really cool, but it’s hard to imagine an Excel jockey reading this overview and getting enthused - it’s still heavy on CS concepts. Apps on top of this would perhaps offer conveniences that hide the engine’s full power to some extent in exchange for feature accessibility.
Ah, I finally get what you're saying. You're complaining that forks will have to support code that Mozilla no longer does.

Yeah. That's the point of forks.
> terminology taken from Go, whose slices are similar though with an extra word

Interesting; I've always thought of Rust slices as being rather different from Go slices. A Rust slice is always used through a reference and doesn't own its data, whereas a Go slice is not generally used through a pointer and sometimes points to a heap allocated section of memory, so it's basically the union of Rust's vector and slices.

Tangentially, the inability to tell whether some value is heap allocated or not from the type is one of my main gripes when working with Go as opposed to Rust; in Rust, I can be sure that `Vec`, `String`, `Box`, `Rc`, and `Arc` are all heap allocated and that slices, arrays, `str`, `&T`, and `&mut T` are not. In Go, slices and pointers might be heap allocated--or they might not.
A more practical approach would be to have an aptitude test for general voting (higher score means heavier weight for the vote). Additional requirements could be added to gate voter eligibility such as having paid more federal taxes than consumed via welfare in a given year.

All of these would, however, be unconstitutional, including the original proposal in the thread.
While bitcoin stores value in fiat, eventually that may not be the case and bitcoin will just be worth bitcoin. I know that day is likely very far off but if enough economies collapse, price stabilized and people adopt bitcoin as a currency, we may stop caring what a bitcoin is worth in USD, Yen, AUD, what have you.
Whoa. Not my intention. But I can't edit my original comment.
This must be why I got a flurry of empty envelopes from China a couple months ago. A+++++ would throw out again.
What exactly is a BTC? BTC is man made, and depends upon computers and software. And the people who control the software can change their minds, if they so choose. So what a BTC is now, may not be what it is later, including its scarcity. See also the ETH and BTC forks.

Gold on the other hand exists naturally in nature, and doesn't change based upon someone else's whim.

So no, BTC is not like gold.
This is restricting demand, not restricting supply.
The thing is, bitcoin in its current state isn't exactly decentralized - a small amount of miners control a fairly large % of bitcoin's hashrate. Not to mention most of those miners are located in China, which is also where most of the ASICs (mining equipment) are produced. These miners could easily support an alternate fork of bitcoin by moving their hashrate over, thus crippling the bitcoin chain. This was the whole drama with Segwit2x
Governments are ran by special interests. When special interests are invested in bitcoin, governments won’t touch it.

It is not. Some services don’t currently support IAM segregation. We have hundreds of AWS accounts all within AWS Orgs, based on organizational units and SDLC phase.

Orchestrating infrastructure across that many accounts poses some interesting (and fun!) challenges.
The question was why do you give them continuous phone and steam access? - continuous being the key word here. Limiting their device usage to a few hours a day does not make them socal outcasts.
The reason behind the lack of choice is state backed monopolization of regulation and licensing. In any endeavour where there is a licensure and/or regulatory cartel, incompetence and malice will cause prices to skyrocket.

Of course most of the eminent "thinkers" in America believe this problem will be solved by giving the government even more control.
Disclosing an 0Day root authentication bypass vulnerability on Twitter isn't cool, even if it is local: think of the impact to shared iMacs on university campuses.

How dare you publicly shame him and risk his future employability like this? It's only responsible of you to contact him quietly and directly so he can correct his mistake and cover it up so nobody needs to know.

It's like there's one rule for the negligent global corporation which happens to work in the corporation's favor and shames the public for speaking to each other about their salary, I mean flaws in their software, and another rule for ordinary people giving a heads up to people who are fair game to pile on.
Yeah, well those guys thought only land-holding males should vote, so maybe they didn't. Did the men designing a system of government for a nation limited to the eastern coast have special insight in what governing 300 million people would look like?

Just revised a set of developer policies today. Most systems/users will only need a couple of permissions to leverage parameter store. And if you take the time to dig into the IAM permissions, it's quite impressive how granular you can get.

The policy I built today, for example, granted SSM:GetParameter* for parameters in the '/dev' or '/staging' path hierarchy. You won't find this fully documented at the moment, but you can separately manage encryption/decryption of secrets using conditions and kms:EncryptionContext, e.g.,

"Condition": {
"StringLike: {
"kms:EncryptionContext:PARAMETER_ARN": "arn:aws:ssm:<region>:<acct#>:parameter/dev*"
}
}

One point I will note in relation to other secret management schemes is that Parameter Store seems to use CMKs directly to encrypt parameters rather than relying on data keys and envelope encryption.
