I've been hearing this a lot, but what does it actually mean?

Isn't the most important thing you want from a store of value stability? Ie, that it'll store the value that you put into it? Bitcoin certainly doesn't have that property.

And if that's not the desired property implied by "store of value", what is?
I'd say that a csp is the only reasonable way to verify for a non-trivial app. A deep audit of every line of the app plus the whole dependency graph (that must be repeated on the diffs for every update) is not how I would define 'relatively easy'.

And yes, I know it will break if not written for it--I'm saying that coding to fit a strict csp is the only way to have a verifiably secure js app. Without it, you're in the jungle.

Can you show a citation for this? last I looked into this, all debt collectors are abound to the FDCPA
You realize that national debt, corporate debt and personal debt don’t work the same right? Countries can go on paying only the interest on their debt forever.
And how would the US finance this massive debt repayment? The only ways are to sell state assets, cut services and raise taxes. I’m not sure the population will be happy with these measures.

At first glance, this looks amazing. I truly believe CRDTs are the solution to lots of distributed systems problems, and that exposing their characteristics to developers directly, rather than trying to abstract them away in nicer, but leaky, abstractions, is the right way to go.

That said, a major part of why databases are hard is that reliable storage is hard. I see remarkably little about this on Antidote's homepage. I'd wish this was just a frontend to some battle tested storage engine but it appears that this is not the case.
As much as I agree with not using a public TLD as a dev environment, why the fuck was google allowed to register and privately secure not one but several domains for their own private use? Fuck them. That shouldn't have been allowed, especially for a TLD that's well known to be heavily used.

I really dislike allowing domains to be used in such a way. It seems extremely short sighted.
Soon you'll get 30 day trials of virus checkers preinstalled.
This has that "too good to be true" vibe, and I can't find much information on the authors or the Syncfree Consortium organization that backs the project besides their own website.

Is this at the cost of fast writes or flexible schema? The pitch video doesn't seem to mention any cons, yet seems to avoid mentioning the type of data or mutations supported. I guess I'll go read their publications.
I think coding is very close to creative writing. You need to focus to achieve an analogous page of the book, fitting all the characters and making sure the story doesn't clash. It is much better when the story is great and characters are entertaining, but unfortunately the non-technical people on top of the pyramid, who have very little coding experience and see it as something that people at the bottom of the pyramid do, they don't see a story in what you write at all. They just see a bunch of words that in the end create a product that needs to sell. Indeed coders are treated much like the creative people in many industries including writing and design.
Look into the Ledger Nano S. Supports each BTC chain, other cryptos, and is super easy to use IMO. Uses a seed to create the wallet so you can drop that in a safe deposit box and restore if anything ever happens to the hardware wallet.

Edit: this is the hardware version of storing cryptocurrencies.
See, and that is the difference between mentioned books and movies. The effort needed for pretty much any person to find one is nearly zero. On one hand, the ads are drilled into their eyes. On the other hand, they expect something for them there.

They don't need to dig through pile of barely reviewed games and genres targeted at niche fans (which usually means more hardcore taste in some regard). Any game can be played by anone, technically speaking.

Not sure why puzzles would be the thing for other demographics. However, assuming it is, Steam sux for finding good puzzle games. It does not really allows you to distinguish puzzle from rpg or adventure with a bit of puzzle bent.

Playstore much less so for that matter, but then again, steam audience is quite hostile toward games that seems to them too much mobile like. It is ok, it is their playground, it is not like west would have millions of retirees waiting to buy on steam.

Which is back to my point. Culturally, in the west, games are meant for and consumed by much different demographic then movies.

From your quote of the interview:

I certainly do. I regretted that long before the sexual harassment complaints.

She regretted doing business with him before knowing he was a sexual predator. It's plain as day, and your misrepresentation of the interview is why you're getting downvoted. You need to learn to present your case more consistently and with quotes that actually expand on it rather than quotes, like here, which present a different case than you intend.

I don't know of actual precedent, but there are numerous examples of lipo house fires (which aren't fully covered). And semi related personal one-datapoint anecdote I've experienced water damage and robberies in the past and they were a lot more prompt to try to find loopholes to not have to pay. I can't afford to set a precedent, so I stick to fused low voltage off the shelf products.
There's a distinction between debt, and failure to pay. The whole point of the continuous debates we have over raising the debt ceiling is to make sure the U.S. government can continue to function and be able to pay its debts.

If I borrowed $100 from you yesterday with the understanding I would pay it back in seven days, I'm in debt to you, but in good standing. If I borrowed it six months ago and it was due a week after that, I am not in good standing. Those situations are not equivalent.

This is not to defend horrible collection practices or the debt collection industry in general. But making some odd claim about U.S. government debt being equivalent to this needs a lot more explanation if you want it to be taken seriously.
I imagine they could quite feasibly do the same with the light that leaks out of your windows.

The level of security you seek is unattainable in practice.
If he managed all this on top of a full time job and maintaining family life, just for the love of setting a wrong right, imagine what he would have achieved if this had been his full time job. Someone needs to give this guy a job and pay him to do this. There aren't enough people in the world that will stand up and do the right thing instead of just paying it lip service. For that alone, this guy is a hero to me.

Oh, wish that it were so, friend. But I'm American, and have lived in the bay area, Seattle, Utah, NYC, and Alabama.

And it's completely accurate. Americans think driving is a privilege? Please, then why are judges so reluctant to take away licenses from people for reckless driving or DUIs compared to other developed countries?

As a transportation and land use nerd, I've seen over and over again how people in the states react to parking being reduced: with fury. Especially when it's "their" parking (read: public parking that they've become used to). Take away a parking lane to make room for buses or bikes in a growing major city? WAR ON CARS!!
I hope you're not implying some sort of conspiracy theory. As far as I can tell, the driving motivation seems to be saving money.

We just had our municipal elections. Plenty of regular people saw the slowness and the expense of paper ballots. Some asked about switching to electronic voting, because even to a layman it's obvious how computers could potentially make tallying votes faster and cheaper.

The part that's not obvious is security and making results auditable. That's much harder for electronic voting, but it's not as obvious to a layman.
Indeed the TOS has been changed on 1st of october !

Interesting, I would think it would be easier to use LibreSSL for this since the OpenBSD folks are so conservative that the modern APIs are likely to be stable. Maybe they want to use more of the legacy APIs that the OpenBSD folks are excising?

For every company that uses perks as a cash replacement in a healthy way, there's another that expects you to overlook poor absolute numbers in favor of wishy washy things like illiquid equity and coldbrew kegs.

Unless your stock is very liquid, cash is king. Everything else is a distant second.
Chrome Apps were ahead of their time and poorly explained. The explosion of Electron apps like Atom and Slack shows that there is a need and a want to package web apps using a shared container, so they don’t all have to ship their own version of Chrome.

I predict we will soon see some sort of Electron runtime that multiple apps can share that will be essentially the same thing as Chrome apps.
Yup. And the actual implementation difficulty is in setting up the detection/analysis stack.
Surely you understand I was referring to the actual threat as being hypocritical.

> the man conducted a factual investigation and turned over the information he collected to proper authorities.

And I agree, he is a hero for that, regardless of what religion he fancies.

> Seems proportional to someone threatening to rape his wife in the attempt to collect a non-existent debt.

Well, it's not actually the same guy who threatened his wife, that guy went unpunished. Moreover, it wasn't necessary to ruin Joel Tucker life. If Tucker had enough money to pay back everyone he stole without having to suffer crippling depression that would've been sufficient.
I think most people are perfectly fine with the instability as long as the price doesn't go _down_.
I, too, can enjoy a good revenge story, especially in the current climate of credit uncertainty after the Equifax breach.

I expect this will become a much bigger problem.
The Katyushas can't hit Tel Aviv. From Gaza, the only system that can threaten Tel Aviv is the Fajr-5, which were fired at it for the first time in 2012. The linked chart [0] shows that most Katyusha/Quassam rockets have a maximum of ~30km range, whereas the Fajr-5 can make the ~75km to hit Tel Aviv. The warning time given is 60-90s (i.e. from when the air raid sirens sound to impact or interception) so with a margin of error on the slow side, they do 75km in 2m which is ~2250 km/h or Mach 1.8, definitely supersonic. I think I was wrong about the smaller rockets though, which are subsonic.

It would be funny if the ultimate use of a blockchain was to validate debt and put debt scammers out of business instead of being used as a currency replacement.

This was the system the US had for a long time. In fact the newspapers would have coupons you could cut out and bring to the polls.

Problem back then was that people would literally beat you up on the way to the poll if they disagreed with your choice. It was an entirely different culture around voting, secret polls were not a thing.

I live in Oregon State and we are one of the few states that does all of our voting entirely by mail. I think it is the best way to do things. No need to go to the polls and you can do research while you fill out your ballot. We have polling offices available if you forget to fill it out on time.
>> - Fastmail can immediately cancel your account for any reason: "The Service Provider may terminate your access to any part or all of the Service and any related service(s) at any time, with or without cause, with or without notice, effective immediately, for any reason whatsoever, with or without providing any refund of any payments."

> Other than the last clause about "without providing any refund", I would expect this from any service provider, and I'd certainly never want to run a service that didn't have this in its terms.

You expect from any service that they can cancel your account for any reason ?!? We must not have the same set of requirements.
Anyway the point is not relevant anymore as they have changed the TOS (it's much better now).
It means you no longer experience it as an explicitly negative experience. While physiologically the pain signals are still present, your brain's reaction to them changes. Most notably (in my experience) the change occurs when one learns to stop resisting in any fashion the experience of the pain and just accepting it is there, neutrally observing it. From an uninitiated person's standpoint, I can't say this means things will no longer "hurt," they still do, you just change what it even means to be hurting. At the very least from something that is unequivocally negative and must subside, to something neutral that is occurring in the midst of everything else that is occurring.
The problem is, if we can't see the the whole page, we don't know if the page displays more info than what's in the screenshot when we scroll down. Turns out, there's not much, at least in the sample page that another user created, so maybe that's why you didn't show more.

You've got your stories a little mixed up - Jesus ate with a tax collector and showed brotherly love for one whom society saw as evil. He expressed his rage at the money changers and merchants in the temple, those who commercialized a place of worship.
Main source of instability is price manipulation by big players and market inefficiency (not easy enough to arbitrage between exchanges). It would be interesting to see them do the same thing if BTC market cap is in couple of trillions.

For example, if you're on any exchange that lists the total amount of orders in BTC, you can easily catch when the manipulation starts by seeing out of the ordinary sums (triple the amount of usual) for open positions.

Not to mention insane bot activity that is equivalent to a DDOS attack on the exchange.

During the last several hours of IOTA pump, exchanges, even the IOTA tangle were, and still are unstable.
Of course, one of them. You've done it a lot, too, so we need you to up your game. Here's how: keep posting substantive comments, omit posting unsubstantive ones, and when one of the latter slips out anyhow, edit it away.
I think the issue you're looking for is a limited number of supported datatypes. This doesn't appear to be a general-purpose database at the moment: don't expect to drop it in as a replacement for MySQL. Doesn't mean it can't be in the future, but it would have to fall back on other techniques for the datatypes that can't be built with CRDTs.

I'm thinking the economy car market is going to head the way of the economy PC/laptop market and the low cost inkjet printer market. Every manufacturer will converge on a model where crap devices are sold with no margin and all the money is made via after-market schemes. With PCs/laptops this was pre-loading malware and other "foistware." Same happens with lower-end Android phones. With printers it was expensive ink. With cars it will be ads and surveillance.

This is the dark side of competition and is what happens when all margin on the actual product is crushed out of an industry. It's known as a deflationary race to the bottom. Product quality goes to hell and greasy "monetization" schemes replace simple sales at a profit as the primary source of revenue.

Another place you can see this effect of deflationary race to the bottom very clearly is media, where click bait and filler and various forms of tabloid and "fake news" is now the norm. Good editorial writing and real investigative journalism costs money, so it's dead. The model now is to churn out absolutely vapid "content" as a vehicle to carry ads and get clicks/impressions.

In the future you'll have to buy a luxury car if you want a car that is of decent quality and doesn't spy on you or constantly pester you with ads. Same is true today for PCs and laptops. You have to buy premium (Apple, high-end Dell, etc.) to get a laptop that doesn't come pre-loaded with malware and that has anything like a decent build quality.
Harvard study of U.S. pay-for-performance health system finds no benefits
Anyone is allowed to buy any gTLD for any use. As a result, Google was allowed to buy .dev. They then chose to use it for internal use only.

Unfortunately, the time to oppose this was long ago when gTLDs were first being debated...
FWIW, it's "tenets" (not "tenants"). I agree with your point, just thought you might want to know :)
If you are a government, making something easier to measure is a benefit, regardless of the second order effects it might have.

It's a real problem because a lot of folks do this and it's going to frustrate a few of them. However, this is also a great reminder for everyone to never make up your own TLDs.

Physical sales down 60% yoy is far from the industry norm [1]:

2016: down 17% (5 percentage points)

2015: down 18% (8pp)

2014: down 13% (7pp)

2013: down 15% (8pp)

(this isn’t a perfect comparison, because the battlefield number is change in count while the industry numbers are change in share, but it’s a starting point)

(edit: despite the industry-wide decrease in share, physical sales have actually been increasing in count since 2013 [2], making the Battlefield decline in physical sales look even worse)

Unless they significantly changed how they sell in different channels (news to me), there has to be something title-specific beyond delivery format cannibilazation going on. Hard to speculate if that’s primarily the PR backlash or a combination of things (title fatigue, short release cycle since last edition, quality…).

I imagine EA is pretty resilient against a single title underperforming though, be it SimCity or Battlefield or whatever else.

I don't think it encodes a graph that you query (like, say, Neo4J or Postgres with an orm); it seems to give various replicated data structure primitives, like documents, basically a kv store? So for building something like google docs.
OK, so after a few pages of unnecessary history, the story is that Google bought the .dev TLD and uses it only for internal purposes.
The body count in this article is unreal.
Classic counting being what? By hand? Does that sound like the most accurate or efficient way to go about this?
The spec hadn't changed though; RFC 2606 has been around since 1999.

An implementation policy that is overtly not a stable specification changed.

Using “test" at some level of the domain name, including the top level if desired, has been the documented correct and safe answer for a long time, and .dev has always been an unnecessarily risky hack. (Amusingly, everyone else doing that hack got screwed because Google was using it as well and realized that if it didn't take control of the TLD and manage it to support it's pre-existing internal use, it ran the risk of someone else doing that.)
Good heavens. The steam dev team is alive ? What a miracle, I thought valve was run by two interns and a coffee machine.
Never had a chance? The rules that would allow this kind of allocation were debated publicly and strenuously for many years in Internet governance circles, with many iterations of drafts and public comment periods. Some of those rules specifically governed which domains should be disallowed because they would have impact on existing utilization, as well as those that needed to be reserved for technical reasons.

It's locking literally every individual and business out of a "development" domain, solely for one corporation's for-profit use. Solely to associate Google with development, over any other corporation in the world.

This is like Ford registering ".car" gTLD for themselves (although actually worse).

> It's also technically not even a change to the status quo.

If it wasn't a change to the status quo, they would have just used the exact same test domains you mention. You're saying that what we should not have done, is okay for Google to do.
