yes, but that's usually the accepted definition in the crypto-currency world (eg. see the source link I've posted where they use it in that context too).

There are different definitions of inflation/deflation, but the price is always a function of supply-and-demand, therefore it all boils down to the supply, where the issuance rate & eventual supply cap is what gives a crypto-currency its inflationary/deflationary properties.

You say it's covered; I disagree, which is why I responded. HVAC? Maybe; it's sometimes hooked into the gas lines, with wiring through the walls and such. I feel like it's condescending to assume that most people would be unwilling or unable to pair a remote with a garage door opener, though.

I'm ok with vi, and ol' Martin 'wurmtongue' Shkreli is pretty good, but what is more amazing is that he has people watching him stream. When you try telling your uncle at thanksgiving (who 'dabbles' in finance) that someone like Grimma there would stream his analysts, let alone that people would watch him, they look at you like you have 10 green heads. Shkreli there is a perfect example of a generation gap.
You keep bringing up Gresham's Law but I think you're neglecting the fact that it only holds in the long term when the bad money and the good money have the same face value.

If they have a floating exchange rate, the good money will drive the value of the bad money towards 0.

Edit: perhaps read the section of the Wikipedia article entitled "reverse of Gresham's law". It argues exactly the point I'm arguing.

Kind of, though it was really more about the potential that central government would eventually act me way on one particular issue, but the side of big central government won that war. (We earlier fought a war against government without representation, but that's a different issue.)

How is the confusion resolved? ICE officers are equipped to verify the documents?
Even if they released source code, how could we know if was genuine?

Ok that makes sense. However given that they are ICE not just a regular police force wouldn't stuff like showing proof of citizens also be enough to amend the order.

> family member gave them a video tape showing the person being arrested is innocent

A video tape is not the same as a passport. A passport is good enough for the DHS to let people into the country or not, nobody has to go in front of a judge there. I don't see why ICE employees couldn't also perform the same check.

> I'm wholly opposed to a national ID scheme

Curious, why?
I think we're still early-days for a lot of this home control stuff. The value is still pretty dubious in many cases, and all the vendors seem to think that these devices need to be internet-connected, whether to phone home about usage, provide access from outside the home, or just to receive updates. Obviously both of those things can be incredibly problematic wrt security and privacy, but sadly most companies don't care, and/or hope that the supposed benefits outweigh any concerns (they shouldn't, but often do).

I have an Echo Dot and a couple Hue bulbs in my apartment. The light switch setup is awkward so I end up having to walk in the dark a bit when I get home before I can turn on the lights. Being able to voice-activate the lights as I enter my apartment (or just have the Philips app automatically turn them on when my phone is close enough to home) is useful. Is it essential? No, of course not. Am I concerned about security/privacy? Yes. I've decided that the security risk of someone being able to turn a couple of my lights on and off without my permission isn't that big a deal.

I just picked up a Google Home Mini on discount over the Thanksgiving holiday. I like that I can tell it to play music on my Chromecast, or start Netflix videos on my TV. Again: not essential. But it's a hell of a lot more convenient than fumbling with my phone to do the same things.

My goal longer term is to build an open-hardware, open-software home assistant that can do most things without needing to leave the local network. There are a few projects out there already that do this, or subsets of it, but so far I haven't found much that meets my requirements.

But I totally agree that in many cases these things aren't necessary. They can make things more convenient, but in the absence of, say, someone with mobility or motor control issues, they're not essential. But, say, Google Maps isn't essential either (we have perfectly good paper maps), but I sure as hell wouldn't give it up. I do expect that home control will mature to a point where it's not just a "nice to have" anymore, but I figure we're years, if not decades, from that point.
They probably believed that it wasn't their jobs to check the paperwork, that a judge would sort it out.

That's so far from the truth, though. Despite their having orders to get Carrillo, it was their job to read the paperwork that was provided. The alternative is police who are "just following orders". History shows the consequences of that to be armies of evil.
People have been trained to be followers. Our industrial-age education system and our industrial-age-derived corporate structures do that training.

That worked adequately for industrial work. But for creative work, following isn't enough. Our whole field is about making computers do the dumb stuff so that humans can focus on the smart stuff. The SV startup model gets much of its economic power from the way that a small group of people can out-think, out-innovate large companies that operate along industrial lines.

But that only keeps working as long as individuals have a fair bit of autonomy. Which in turn only works as long as workers are able to think for themselves. As David Marquet wrote, modern effective organizations don't move information to authority; they move authority to information.

I want to build teams that can spot a ball, pick it up, and run with it. That doesn't work well if they have to run every detail up to the CEO for signoff.

Zones aren't a replacement for VMs. With VMs you can have different OSes, for example, which is not generally possible with a zone (you can do some stuff with syscall routing to do this in certain ways, but requires support from the root container). In a zone you can't do a variety of things that require higher level kernel access, like installing custom kernel modules. Zones also have a higher attack surface, which matters quite a lot when you are dealing with a multi-tenancy situation. But I'm pretty sure you knew that already.

yep, I was just using it as an example to make a general statement that I made in the third paragraph. Do you agree or not? Was wondering what are your thoughts on that
No, I can't.

I have spent quite a lot of years trying to figure out how to do a pedestrian-themed blog. I finally have one that I think might "have legs." ;) It has two whole posts. I have probably gone through 10 or 12 different blog names, most of which never got any content whatsoever.

I think trying to promote pedestrianism in the US is quite challenging. I have lived without a car for like a decade or so. The most common assumption people make is that I am clearly just pathetically poor. This happens to be true right now, but I also am a committed environmentalist type. My college major was in environmental studies.

I gave up my car when I still had a corporate job. Only one person who ever gave me a ride home from the corporate job ever asked me why I gave up the car. Everyone else just made polite noises about what a trooper I was for dutifully walking to work in spite of the pathetic state of my obviously poverty stricken life.

In the US, no car = pathetic poor person. So trying to sell people on the idea of choosing to go carless is a really tough thing. Thus, I would just start with trying to get them to drive less and maybe go from a two-car family to a one-car family. That's a much easier starting point.

There was an website I saw the other day on HN:

Excel is old-school Business Intelligence. We don't need to make a better spreadsheet, we need to make a better toolkit for data-driven decisions. There is very little reason that all users need to engage with their data in a grid of cells.

I think it'll be exodus 2.0. I contracted there until Nov 2016, a few months before the delete uber campaign and Susan Fowler. I kept in contact with some service desk friends and they said after Susan's blog at least 200 people quit right after. Again this is just anecdotal hearsay but I was told another 500 people left a few months later after they collected their yearly bonuses. After bonuses he said maybe 10 to 15 people per week were stopping by the support bar to turn in their laptops on their last day in his building alone. His guess was that at least 800 to 1000 people quit in the first six months of the year. I haven't spoken to him since the end of summer so I don't know how their policy changes, pay bumps, and CEO/ leadership have changed things and if the attrition number slowed. But with this recent news I think this could kick off exodus 2.0.

I love this, not only do we get to read the letter, we also get to read Uber's transparent objections beforehand.

“By then” it had a single vote for close. Other four people choose to support the vote, after they already saw the second edition. Why did that happen, herd instinct? If yes, theoretically there’s a moderation mechanism on SO for that, doesn’t work either?

Anyway, I don’t care too much about my particular question. You might be right about the initial version wasn’t good. I’ve copy-pasted it to a new one, let’s see whether I’ll get a relevant answer.

But I’m using SO quite a lot, and I see many good questions downvoted and/or closed. Especially questions about niche technologies. Apparently, too many people think if they didn’t understood the question, it must be something wrong with the question, not with them.
The culture of the US has 2 parts that really don't like national IDs. A strong distrust of the federal government and a large number of evangelical christians. The natural distrust means that people generally don't want to give anything more to the federal government in general so it would take enormous political capital to add this. Second, the evangelical christians take end times prophesies from Revalation in the Bible very seriously. They believe that a national ID card is the "mark of the beast" that will be how the world is enslaved. It's a bit weird to outsiders, but it's a surprisingly common belief.

This is assuming they both want the same thing. Society pushes us into marriage and getting kids, not just into gender roles. I think greater equality will lead to more single people, not more men doing house work. Because people will realize they actually have a choice. Most people don’t want to clean and administer the same stuff every day. And although nobody would prefer that thir kids were never born, people would not feel like they are losing out if they never get kids. Developed countries have people get fewer kids later in their lives. Maybe it is because of the economy, but kids could help their parents with money, so i dont think so, i think it is by choice. You could call it people getting more selfish, i say it is people getting more rational, or «analytical» if you will.
I had one like that. Nowadays they issue replacements on much plainer paper that goes through a laser printer. It's notarized, but nothing about it would be difficult to counterfeit.
For sure, I agree with that. My original point was Uber has a pivot that they can use to make money. Layoff most the people, license the software, profit. It might not work for everyone, but it will definitely work for some.

Your comment prompted me to try a personal unscientific test. I just pinged a woman who reads CNN news on her iPad every morning with coffee and asked her what she knew about Uber. I specifically asked if she "heard any bad things about Uber?"

Her only reply was that she heard an Uber driver raped a passenger. That's it. Even with her daily CNN news habit, she does not know about:

- Uber workplace sexual harrassment

- Uber using grayball against government officials

- Uber legal fights about contractor vs employee classifications

- Uber lawsuit about corporate espionage

Yes, it's just a sample size of 1 but I think it's very easy to overestimate what typical people know about Uber. The HN bubble repeatedly upvotes negative Uber stories that would never cross the radar of most everyone else.
One can argue that the revolutionary war was as much about the power of government, as it was about representation.

See the 3rd thru 10th amendments, specifically the 3rd and 4th.

The question is not whether the government is federal, or more of a confederation, it was what the rights of that government, and the rights of the people ought to be.
It has some benefits for influencers to adopt it. On twitter, instagram, and youtube, the comment section is quite messy. If you're a big name, you'll be overwhelmed by questions, and same questions are asked over and over again. Going through all those questions to pick out important ones is tedious. This is basically a zendesk for them (if they want to engage with their followers). So you're right, like AMA, going from influencers' side probably has a better chance to bring the community up.

On the other hand, the fact that an important questions getting large number of thumb-ups is a statement by itself. Imagine a question for POTUS with 10k thumb-ups but got no answer from him/her. It's a headline material.

If you were using OpenTSDB: 1 million devices, reporting once per minute. We'll round that up to 17k submissions per second. Let's say each submission is, um, 50 datapoints. That's 850,000 datapoints per second. Not really that hard to store. With 12 tags, OpenTSDB stores that in about 100 bytes per datapoint. You'd be writing 80MBps of data across you cluster. Not a big deal there. Let's say you have 12 nodes with 8 disks at 2TB per disk. 192TB with 3x HDFS replication, so 64TB of usable space. That gives you 828,504 minutes of capacity. 19 months or so. Queries will be fast also, but you need to set it up well, and, it's easy to do it wrong (sorry about that, we're making it better). I recommend Splicer with 4 or 5 query instances per data node to parallelize the queries and take advantage of locality (hit the query instances on the same node as the HBase region).

I missed where the Petabyte of data came in, but I just made up some numbers here that are accurate from my experience.

The byline "thanks to the lessons their designers have learned from computer games" is pretty much bollocks, and also not reflected in the article.
The core idea of the American vision of rights is that rights against future governments matter just as much as rights against present ones. For example, a Democrat speaking in support of the DNC doesn't need free speech against a Democratic administration, but they would need it against a Republican one. That's the reason behind the "what if we need to rebel?" argument against gun control, the "turnkey tyranny" argument against self-surveillance, and the rest. American political philosophy will seem totally incomprehensible if you miss this point!
From the article:

"The refusal by ICE officials to listen to Carrillo’s claims of citizenship appeared to violate an agency policy that requires officers to thoroughly and quickly investigate such claims"

Of course they are not going to release a suspect immediately, but their responsability was to investigate those claims and bring their supperior's attention to them. They were not "following orders", they were going against them.
It's an interesting point.

Already there is an awful lot of money being paid in bitcoin tx fees, and it's rising over time, and I can't see any reason for it to start going down, so I don't think it'll be a problem.
It seems more plausible (though of course I'm not claiming this is the case) that they paid him to help root out and destroy the evidence for claims they knew were well-founded before someone else raised them.
