I actually think that communism & liberalism are the secular grand-children of Catholicism. If you remove the reference to god, they advocate the same asceticism, contempt for trading and ownership, egalitarianism, a culture of self-blaming for anything going wrong in the world, etc.
The phone rings anyways though...and they keep trying relentlessly

Ostensibly the "withdrawal period" means that there aren't trace amounts present in any meat.

In the US, current labeling standards allow farms not using antibiotics to differentiate themselves by stating as much on the label (they must not use antibiotics as a feed additive).

> In all these cases. You are likely to loose 100% of the sum you invested.

Nah, for example in case 3 you don't lose your full capital. You just have either position open without hedging the risk whatever reason.

Case 4, case 5, for you to lose your full capital it has to happen for both exchanges.

There are risks and I'm not saying that it might make sense to take those risks, just saying that you are now giving equally wrong picture of the risks.
Now called WasWas.

According to the prime minister of Iraq's announcement on Twitter a few days ago, "Iraq's armed forces have secured the western desert & the entire Iraq Syria border...this marks the end of the war against Daesh terrorists who have been completely defeated and evicted from Iraq".

Can we have the name Isis back now? Or at least call them Daesh, they hate that name.
Is there any actual science behind the claims that meat is bad from a health perspective? From what I've seen it looks similar to the "science" that told us that eggs were bad, and that we should avoid fat at all costs--in other words, a bunch of loose correlations from studies with poor reproducibility and poor controls.

In the US, red meat consumption per capita has dropped over the last 50 years, suggesting that it is not the major contributor to our current health problems that some claim.
I'm not so sure. 8tracks tried that by collecting playlists from real people but it hasn't been able to stick. I think people like convenience and nothing is more convenient than a computer telling you what to do.
The bit which your quote is furthermoring is about the ecological impact of livestock farming, which is the headline justification for a meat tax. The health benefits are another, lesser, reason.
How can they introduce a meat tax to beat a climate crisis we don't have?

Either there is no crisis and this is a money grab... or there is a crisis.

There seems to be something fishy here... 


Edit: Oh wait, The Guardian is a British Newspaper... we agree there is a climate crisis and we don't have anywhere close to the same ridiculous meat consumption rate as Americans.
> once I had enough

It's easy to find other things to prioritize when you have F-U money in the bank.
> Why would you hand out something that's worthless?

Like, say, money? The banknotes in your pocket are fairly 'worthless'. That does not stop people trading them for things of real value.
Totally agree, though it's not viable to start a small-ish spotify alternative today because of the licensing situation. The rights owners really need to get together and create a generic streaming license, similar to what is offered to radio stations.
I'm not disagreeing with you in principle, but nobody is going to offer me a job and say "It sucks to work here, the people suck, the conditions are stressful, and the hours are long. In fact - if you join us, I'm going to hire someone whose sole job will be to kick you in the marbles every morning when you walk in the building. You say you earn $X at your current job in which you are content? How does $X*5 sound?"

I mean I might put up with a lot if I'm being paid so much that I'd be able to retire after only a couple of years :)
How I Implemented Stack in JavaScript ES6
I enjoyed this read far more than I expected.
I'm sceptical about the abusability of validators however. Overall though it makes me wish I could run a social experiment implementing this idea just to see what would happen.
The advice is, "tell the person what they want to hear". It is absolutely no surprise that the author does not stick around at one job either.

No. 0X is conservative. It's a startup. Most of those make non-founders $0.00 on equity
Faktory is based on rocksdb actually.
Per the authors, they want people to use a real peer-to-peer trust network. I have never met you, dpark, and so the only way for you to pay me (or me to pay you) is for there to be a web of trust between you and me. And then we will only be paid with currencies of people who we trust. This also means they have a stake in it, they could end up with 50 dpark-fake coins that no one else will accept so they need to be careful of trusting people they don't know well.

You won't pay me with dpark-fake because I don't trust it, instead you'll pay me with pg because I've trusted him and he's trusted you.

However, this gets to the fundamental problem of the web of trust: It's really hard to do. Physical key signing parties are impractical to scale. You need systems like keybase which correlate your keys/accounts with each other if we aren't able to meet and communicate in person (which also requires trust, I wouldn't trust you after a single meeting, but would readily trust my friends who I know well but are physically remote from me).

Quoting from the paper:

This example demonstrates that Bob can only ever
receive money that he trusts, and Alice can only ever
spend money that other users trust in turn. Even if
Alice makes 100 fake accounts and has them all trust
each other, she will never be able to spend more than
the amount of AliceCoins she has, since that’s the only
account that other users will trust. This is why it is
crucial that users take direct peer-to-peer trust
relationships seriously.
Cutting down on meat consumption is something I support. But I don't believe in increased taxation – that extra money will just end up being spent on pork barrel legislation and the like by the politicians. When consumption does finally go down, taxes will again need to be raised for other things to make up for the downfall because they will not want to decrease spending.

Why don't we encourage more research into lab grown meat instead?
It appears someone doesn't like this answer (or possibly think I like it), but UBI and implants very likely will go hand in hand. No free lunches in this universe. None.
Bitcoin was once just as worthless as this coin. All of this is based on confidence in the value. So were all other currencies minus the value of the paper and ink itself. In order to actually get people to use this, you need an argument (not a technical one) about why people should use this. I can imagine one focusing on an accessible UBI and global resource reset. While that argument would eventually be important, this paper obviously has other flaws to consider before getting that far ahead of getting into the nitty-gritty there.
It seems like it was one of the dumbest decisions in history. Had they kept the first admnistrator, Jay Garner, who wanted to have elections in 90 days, you might have had everything Bush stated he wanted - a democratic country in the Middle East. It would probably have fallen into Iranian influence anyway. The decision to go for Paul Bremer who chose to disband the Baath party, all of its members, and delay elections, might eventually be remembered as one of the greatest geopolitical mistakes in history.
My 2017 wrapped is a pretty accurate reflection of what I did listen to, and barely any of it is the sort of stuff you'd think of when you talk about "major label songs".

There is, however, a "The Ones That Got Away" playlist, that, while still not heavy on anything particularly popular, could fit in with your experience. Maybe you were looking at the wrong playlist?

I do agree with the criticisms of this article but also agree with the parts about assessing your candidates better and understanding their motivations.
I did an interview once where they tried to jump to technical interview on the first phone meeting so fast I felt my answers to everything else were this unnecessary preamble to just doing a code question. It totally turned me off. I ended the call early.

So while I need the money to be good, I also want to feel like we are starting a mutually beneficial arrangement on other levels than just pay.
That is because you could get the 20k elsewhere or the manager wasn't worth 20k. What about 40k? 60k?
Those off the shelf keyloggers world be detected by security software, however, whereas something signed by the vendor is going to be whitelisted. I still wouldn’t say this is a huge sign of malice but it’s definitely open for creative misuse.
I'm sure he'll laugh in my face.
You need write access to:

HKLM\Software\Synaptics\%ProductName%\Default

Which requires administrator or equivalent, so that is preventing a user from even keylogging themselves.
You forgot to mention all the comments that add almost nothing but noise to the conversation.

Money has value because people agree on it as a medium of exchange. Perhaps some day this new coin will be worth something, but I'm pretty skeptical of creating new coins when there's already literally hundreds that can do the job.
From the article:

> Using meat tax revenues to subsidise healthy foods is one idea touted to reduce opposition.
Yeah, well, having to attend a party with mediocre food and no drinks isn’t such a great bonus either. The check would at least make the situation explicit.
I like this idea. I am skeptical that it will work.

Necessary in this idea is an inflation curve to continue to provide the basic income and discourage hoarding. It is also necessary to scale the user base to make the idea meaningful. This could lead to hyperinflation as the network bootstraps, creating a headwind that scales at least as fast as the idea.

The requirement of actual meatspace peer-to-peer trust is an extremely hard problem as well. It seems like one option is people take this seriously and trust networks end up resembling current social networks with the inherent stratification. And you don't get internet money.

Alternatively this requirement is eroded or ignored because it's too hard, until it becomes obvious that there are entire networks of fake accounts, everyone is holding FakeCoin, the risk can't be arbitraged out because of the 1 to 1 requirement, and now it's 2008 and FakeCoinCo is Too Big To Fail.

Would love to hear why I'm wrong.
Maybe that tax can be used to fund that research or subsidise popular plant-based meats like Beyond Burger or Impossible Burger.
Can only agree. I download a lot of my music there, usually in FLAC for archiving and MP3 for listening.
Hell yes. Most people give up the primes of their lives slaving for far less lucre.
Right, but my point is that you don't need to create a new coin. Just use one of the many well-tested existing ones.
The trading that happens on exchanges is done off-chain.
Despite not being a HW expert, I've watched each one of these videos carefully. (Whenever a new one comes out it's like Christmas to me.) Ivan has been pretty consistent on this message each time this topic comes up. They're being careful to protect their work before they disclose it, yes, but they have always said that they're in this to produce hardware. If you've encountered something that contradicts this, I'd like a citation.
Wrong kind of liquidity. Trading firms, hedge funds, etc. care care about liquidity of the "Can I convert this into the kind of money I use to pay taxes and employees and investors?" kind. BTC has basically zero of that, as evidenced for the fact that there isn't a deliverable version of this contract.

I'm not sure a sensible institution would even consider BTC held at exchanges to be real BTC, just a kind of IOU. There may even be regulations preventing them from doing so. So they will probably want to hold the BTC themselves. Or with a clearer, which is likely to think about these things even more conservatively. And 20 minutes (the last figure I heard for how long it takes to execute a bitcoin transaction) is an eternity to an industry that is starting to think in nanoseconds.
S-H-A-M then Dasani like the water company nothin to it.
While I don’t necessarily follow on the health concerns compared to the alternative of eating more grains and carbs, I think taxation is our only (realistic in the short/mid term) way to have the impact on the environment taken into consideration into the price
UBI is at its essence a resource redistribution system. It can't be solely opt-in (at least not in the near future) to achieve the value necessary for the "basic" part (i.e. being sufficiently large to cover basic needs), it requires either a large external source of capital or (more likely) a sufficiently strong organization (such as a government) to enforce participation of the top 1% / 0.1% / all local companies, i.e. taxation.

An opt-in redistribution system is called charity. We know how much resources our society is willing to spend in that way, and that's not sufficient for universal basic income.
Listening for function key presses, I would imagine.

Every laptop I've ever had allowed volume control with function keys.

There are a couple shorter videos with Hackaday, Mill CPU for Humans.
One thing I didn't see mentioned was how a song's "radio" seems to just play popular titles by bands in the same genre. When I first saw the feature, I was hoping it would be a successful implementation of Pandora's "Music Genome" promise, but it sounds like the same old market-driven gentle nudging toward what's popular, instead of what I actually wanted.
> You can test without mocks

Can you elaborate, specifically on a unit-testing level?
Considering I gave up three years of my mid twenties for about $150k (total) for two different startups, yeah probably.

...yeah, I'm still a bit bitter about the compensation. Not necessarily the experience, though.
Mostly, yes. Opportunity is abound for those who wish to seize it. Regardless of your background/upbringing, you hold the reigns and control your life's destination. This is what needs to be emphasized.

I am one of those who did not come from means of wealth. Much like many of you, I invested my time building skills and learning so that I could get myself out of that situation.
If all you need is reduced precision, then it’s fair to compare the two. I’d also assume memory bandwidth matters just as much as TFLOPS for ml workloads.
It can't hurt, but IMO it would make more sense if the government did what it was supposed to do in providing health, security, and providing for basic needs of every citizen. How exactly you implement that, and which shitcoin you use (USD, BTC, ETH, LTC or make a new one) doesn't matter.
The fact excessive carbs consumption is bad doesn't invalidate the fact that excessive meat consumption is bad.

Campbell's report is not perfect, but it is serious work, and hints that meat consumption and cancer are linked (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_China_Study). What's more, processed meat is classified as Category 1 carcinogenic to humans by WHO (http://www.who.int/features/qa/cancer-red-meat/en/).

Additionally, animals concentrate any pesticides we put on plant we then feed them. We also give them a lot of additional products with side effects, such as antibiotics. The effect of the mix of all those on the human health is still unknown but raises interesting questions.

Since we also know that meat production has a huge toll on the environment, including soil pollution, green house gaz and water consumption, it's only fair to talk seriously about the issue. Especially now that we are closing on 8 billion souls, and India and China want our lifestyle too.

It's not a moral or religious debate.

It's just an important thing to consider, discuss about, monitor closely and review regularly with honesty, again and again. Like oil usage, walk street speculation or our voting system.

As a specie, we need to ask ourself those questions to evolve.
I study liars. I've never seen one like Donald Trump
They did a ton of other stupid things around the same time. Like changing the flag for example - all that meant that the old flag became a rallying point for the rebels. You would think Americans of all people would realize how potent a symbol a flag is. Then they set up headquarters in Saddam's old palace...
It's a good goal for a long term, but it didn't dig into the subsidies as much as I would have thought. Ending those is the first step, but it didn't go into how much the industry is currently subsidized (Google suggests meat and dairy are at ~38 million). Discussing an end to those subsidies seems a more realistic step that both parties should be able to get behind. What I don't know is the impact on the already struggling farming community would be (a group which leans more Republican).
That's rediculous. For most people, having children is the most selfless possible thing. Kids are extremely expensive.
Because the IDF would have annihilated them. It's far easier to pick on haphazard regimes, who are generally incapable of organizing strategic defensive efforts.

Beyond that, ISIS was more about power and wealth than it was about ideology. The ideology was just a vehicle.
Bear in mind that electricity has only been around as a resource for a little while, and civilization will necessarily reorganize to use less and less of it as time continues.
Well, no. If recycling programs were actually involving the government checking if the stuff in there was actually recyclable then there would be no problem whatsever meeting those standards.

That is, apparently, not part of those recycling programs.

Turns out the only recycling that was ever done was making great stickers (from oil, of course, you can't make this up). And of course, the government hiring external companies (no doubt owned by "the right people"), who weren't expected to do anything. Nobody wants to check, nobody does check, and I keep hearing it isn't even kept separate.
My experience is precisely the opposite: Spotify has been instrumental in exposing me to niche bands and expanding my taste. The "2017 Wrapped" email says I listened to 6944 different songs by 1426 different artists across 103 different genres this year.
Yes. It's a sad truth, but nobody is responsible for staying ahead but yourself. Continuous improvement and self-directed learning should be emphasized in schooling, but it isn't. You're merely taught to behave and do as you are told.

Why is it your fault or my fault that someone didn't pay attention to their environment and work on pivoting their career?
Agreed. Anyone who claims they know what possible outcomes we can expect from UBI is deluding themselves (or more likely feeling their comfort zone / world view threatened).

UBI could be as significant event for the human race as invention of fire; for the first time large number of human beings with the time and opportunity to develop their talents vs being forced to work minimum wage. It could be like unleashing an army of "Linus Torvalds" - amazingly positive. We don't know
Don't look it that way.

Let's first figure out why democracy rises in the first place: It's because some events, the Industrial Revolution for example, created a bunch of wealthy middle classes, who then sort of became the driving force of their country and start to demanding for rights.

Middle class exists for very long time before official democratization, and I don't think they just sit there and waiting for rights raining on them, rather, I believe they're constantly demanding for more rights. It's just the society takes time to change.

In China, something like Industrial Revolution never actually happened because of invasion, war and stupid government decisions. As result, we also don't have middle class people until after the Economic Reform[0] which is very recent compare to other countries.

I thiiiink the people denying the climate crisis and the people behind this meat tax idea are not the same people…
It has been an interesting cultural difference moving jobs from a "change the world" software company to a "boring enterprise" software company.

Part of the reason that I left my old job was that we were a "startup", and my boss wanted the whole team to "believe in the product", he really did drink that kool aid that we were helping the world. In reality we were helping minimise costs for business owners, we even had some email us and thank us because they managed to reduce their staffing numbers due to increased efficiency.

At my current company, we make some relatively boring enterprise software (minimum price $2500 per month sort of level). I don't think that anyone really "believes" in the software, in the sense that we don't think we're saving the world. We make software that helps specific businesses do a specific task. I couldn't explain to the average person what the software we make even does without boring them to sleep.

I'm actually much happier here at my new "boring" job. The code I write and the problems I solve are actually more interesting than my old job. That's not to mention that the money is much better, and I don't have to sit shoulder-to-shoulder on some shitty hot desk in a coworking space (I like coworking, but not hot desks).

It triggers my eyebrow when a highly available message queue offers either exactly-once delivery or reliable time sorting.

I'm not saying I wouldn't give this project a closer look, but I would much rather a product make it painfully obvious what compromises were made to offer its availability.

My instinct is: either you need strict constraints on ordering and delivery, in which case you use rabbit, or you need at-least-once-no-matter-what semantics, in which case you use something else and make your app less fragile.
My impression is that a lot of coding jobs in finance are like that - the offices are ugly, the business people more chaotic and sociopath than in other industries, the working conditions poor (terrible tools, security tying your hands etc.), the mission uninspiring - but they pay top market rates to compensate for that.
Totally agree. You don't need "maximum singe-thread performance" to be useful on many server loads. If the energy is cheaper container infrastructure might want to move over.

Lets hope that RISC-V can overtake ARM on this. Seems to me that Esperanto could build something along the lines of a Centriq as well if they wanted to get into this.

I guess they see more money in ML right now, but its good that ARM is pushing into that market and showing viability of lower power chips.
