>No system promises that its actors will behave morally.

Of course not, but government allows us to reach outside the system (in some cases) and set the rules for the system. Those rules can be used to help encourage more moral behavior and discourage less moral behavior.

>Those of us who believe they should not don't see a perfect and moral market on the other side

Okay but you can see how this language:

>If that common medium is being manipulated then the market will perceive that as damage and route around it.

does begin to imply a "perfect" market right? If something is manipulated then we just route around it. That phrasing seems to hide that the real cost in "routing around" a currency is that a lot of people lose all their money.

>we just would prefer to exchange problems of force and authority with problems of interpersonal relationships.

This wording seems to put force/authority and interpersonal relationships on opposite sides of the spectrum but that's obviously not true. Interpersonal relationships are one of the primary methods of using force and authority.

Perhaps a more accurate representation of your views is that you would like force and authority to be only transmitted person to person?
Thanks! Hope you like it.
I listed more examples above, such as how racism and discrimination were once widely accepted. I don't think I need to provide a citation for basic facts such as claims of racial/genetic superiority in the era of Hitler, or historical beliefs that white people were inherently superior to dark-skinned people for hundreds of years, of how ordinary people had no qualms in keeping "sub-human" blacks as slaves.. this is all extremely common knowledge to the point where citing it would be like citing "the earth is round-ish".

I think if you take a charitable interpretation of what I'm saying as a basis for discussion and try to find things that SUPPORT the statements truth rather than counterexamples, you would see them and understand my argument. I really don't believe taking a purely adversarial stance and poking holes instead of attempting to first understand contributes the discussion usefully.
Do scaling issues really matter?! Bitcoin hasn't dealt with its scaling issues, and Monero is an extremely far way away from it in needing to deal with issues of scale.

Many of Bitcoin's scaling innovations could be applied to Monero as well.
Paper is fine.
Your comments create the impression that you are trying to be antagonistic towards me. I can't think of another reason why you would pretend to be confused about the meaning of the phrase "private parties" when the phrase was set in contrast to parties held by companies and used after the phrase "a private individual hires models for their party". Even with the understanding that you are trying to be hostile, I'm at a loss as to why you think pretending that you have a poor grasp of the English language would annoy me. Regardless, I'm not really interested in trading verbal barbs with you, and your attempts thus far have purely been to your discredit, so please restrain further replies in this thread to the subject at hand.

Responding to your point, isn't this a matter that's best determined by the employees in question? That is, it's not for you to say whether or not they would or wouldn't enjoy a party with models in paid attendance - but it should be up to them, their employers, and the models?

Employees are subjected to a long list of unpleasant conditions. Having attractive people paid to interact with you seems like it would fall low on the list of grievances - and some people may prefer it. Finding the balance is something for the interested parties (employees, models, and employers) to do and not something for uninterested third parties.

Finally, your point is still incompatible with what you've previously asserted. If it's okay for models to attend parties incognito (i.e. not identifying themselves as models), it must be okay for people to hire models to attend parties incognito. The models have as much agency and information as the employers - so, if it is wrong for employers to hire incognito models then it must be equally wrong for models to hire out as incognito models because whatever harm you think the employers are perpetrating the models are also participating for a profit.
My wife lived in China all her life and worked there for many years. She's never heard of an income tax there. she worked at big companies like Nike and big advertising companies.

the title used to read "Pandas, the most important data science tool"
I would say that Pandas likely has way more users than tensorflow or pytorch. Every burgeoning data analyst / non-ML data scientist uses Pandas.
Yes, that's exactly why you can't insure a 3rd party's house or life.
So in pandas it's kinda similar:

> df[newvar] = df[oldvar1] / df[oldvar2]

And instead of the pipe, we have chaining for which is super straightforward and readable:

> df[newvar] = (df[oldvar1] / df[oldvar2]).abs().rank().astype(str).str[:4]

and for more complex or non-chainable functions we have .pipe:

which looks super similar to dplyr to me!

What he means to say is that the currency goes up, prices go down.

So if a currency goes up in value, that's actually economic 'deflation', because the prices of goods go down.

Now - I don't agree with any of the commenters arguments at all, but the terms 'inflationary' and 'deflationary' are used in that context.

There are some that argue the inflation and deflation are not a function of the price of goods - rather - simply the amount of money in circulation and that's it. I think this is the Austrian position.
Yeah, exactly, my point was more "if someone wants to break in for anything they're just going to break in." Hell, I had a credit card stolen out of my mailbox and used around town last month.

That's not how income taxes work.

If $10000 is your tax liability, then a $10000 deduction is worth only your marginal rate * amount of the deduction, because a deduction reduces your taxable income prior to figuring out liability. (A tax credit is a dollar for dollar reduction of a tax liability.) Assuming 25% bracket, then a $10000 deduction for SALT is worth $2500 off your federal taxes.

As an engineer coming into sales I found the thing I love about sales is that it is problem solving. If you can get in the door the main thing is you are solving a problem for your prospective client. That is no different from engineering you are interfacing with people instead of computers.

There are some great books on sales and why sales gets a bad rap is most sales people don’t seem to have read those books. I now have a critical eye for sales stuff like you can have for code and just see how bad most sales are done.
Yes, the manner of disclosure reflects the respect one has for the software vendor. https://twitter.com/mholt6/status/935687749381775362

I use two different controllers in JBOD mode. Each controller manages half of HDDs. Then I build cross controller software RAID 1. That is, I choose two disks from separate controllers to build raid 1. Last but not least, all HDDs are mixed from different vendors across controllers.

I've always tried to sit in on a few sales calls at any place I've worked and have encouraged people working for me to do the same. It's valuable to see your products from the Sales team and customer perspective. The surprising thing I've observed is how great sales people spend most of the call listening to problems, not offering solutions.
As long as you are clearly stating that you are a software engineer and not purporting to have expertise in traffic engineering, I agree with you.
Yes, this is EXACTLY what we're trying to do! However, it's a bit early, so I can't say when or where we'll be able to get to it.

Whoever said this can not possibly have children. Small babies couldn't care less about toys which move in and out of their hands, except perhaps for the serious matter of tasting them.

They soon learn to say the word that other people use when they want to keep stuff. The actual meaning of the word, and that some people's ownership seems to have legitimacy, doesn't dawn on them until later.

(Just to clarify in the age of the Internet: I think we should respect ownership. But the argument that we should do it because it's an innate concept with babies is a bad one, even if it was true.)
Really interesting concept! I like the idea of hosting a challenging contest for cybersecurity researchers, seems like the best way to actually ensure you won't get hacked!
You have to be doing it really wrong to get there though. OTOH it's always a good idea to research it before starting something.
You're right, they're definitely many cases where incorporating any calls to external resources would be the wrong call and where hitting a local copy of a db would be the best solution.

An API such as this exists would be a great choice where you need to modify content on the frontend. In which case you'd benefit from the availability of 10 endpoints around the world from which the API is available to provide the lowest latency to your users.
Boohoo, you're one of the most highly taxed people... aka you make a lot of money? You know how lucky we are to get to do what we love and get paid heaps for it?

Honestly there are plenty of software engineering jobs (in the Bay Area and out) that pay you six figures to work 9-5. Your experience isn't the norm. Go join a big company if you want comfortable. Then your equity will actually be worth something too, one less thing for you to complain about.
Your understanding of social boundaries, social cues, and personal space (and the lack of respect for this) is very unusual. Others have a right to privacy, and what you attribute as malice could be due to shame, embarrassment, fear, or a host of other reasons. These are their own, and they deserve this. The way you personalize a lack of sharing aligns is not typical.

> As such, I feel that registration is very important and serves to protect the public at large from people producing work with little to no relevant experience.

It feels like in this case they were using registration (or lack thereof) to protect revenue and as a consequence they didn't protect people. I think the people that directed the case should be held accountable and perhaps the board should review their behavior.
Totally agree. A shitty 5 page resume (and I've seen plenty) is a major turnoff. But so is a shitty 1 page resume (and I've seen even more of those!).

Correct! Many folks have more complicated deployments in the cloud, and we're trying to align (as close as humanly possible) your on-prem stack with your cloud stack, to minimize the pain in migration.

If you have a single container, and a simple pipeline, this may be a bit more than you need. We've just found that there are normally 5 or more services/systems that people wire together to create an ML stack, and that's what we're trying to solve for/simplify.

No. Some people bought it with fiat currencies. Others mined for it. Still others exchanged goods and services for it.
I don't know the real reason why the book didn't succeed, but that content didn't help. You're trying to impress young kids with concepts that don't and can't have any meaning for them at their stage of development. Dr. Seuss books have social and even political topics that are presented in a way that they can grasp. Three and four years-olds are developing concepts of fairness, so Seuss books stretch them and do so in an appealing way. But hash maps and inheritance?
The quality of the software and the sacrifice of key functionality in the hardware (dropping of MagSafe, which was a huge differentiator, going to just USB-C ports which almost nothing supports, not even Apple's own in box phone chargers) demonstrates that Apple is purely a design house lately.

There are engineers at the company but they don't seem to be getting a seat at the big table.

I don't think that Bitcoin is inherently favored by Libertarians. Ultimately, you pay the same amount of taxes on bitcoin as any other capital gain, so it's irrelevant.
But you can only have so much cash in your pocket. The bitcoin private key is 32 bytes always, regardless of the amount.

For example here is the famous 37 BTC ($500,000+) donation to Andreas Antonopoulos yesterday, this couldn't be done with cash, at least not as seamlessly, inexpensively and quickly:

A lot of this is covered in the discussion you allude to (where you have the top comment): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14197512

Kiuper's sibling comment in this thread sums it up nicely as far as I can tell.
Change that to median roadway speed, and I'll be on board. Speed limits are too often set by clueless folk for political concerns, rather than by traffic engineers for maximum throughput for a given safety factor.

There should be some allowance for ensuring that the median speeds of adjacent lanes have a good range separation. I can't even count how many times I have seen a tractor-trailer in the left lane at 70 mph passing a tractor-trailer in the right lane at 69 mph, as passenger cars stack up behind them. It creates a dangerous situation that I can only avoid by slowing down or exiting the roadway.

Speed limits should apply only to the rightmost lane, and additional lanes should be between 5 and 15 mph faster than the current speed of traffic in the lane to their right, regardless of their absolute speed. It makes sense, and it would improve traffic flow, but it can't become law because it would be too complicated for cops to enforce.

> Are you sure that the assumptions that your proof relies on are more fundamental than than what you are trying to prove?

Yes, at least to the extent that "fundamental-ness" can be defined. It is a well, and probably universally, established convention that the field axioms allowing division by non-0 elements (that is to say, allowing multiplication by arbitrary elements, and multiplicative inversion of non-0 elements) is taken as part of the definition of a field, and the fact that the set of non-0 elements in a field is closed under multiplication as a theorem about fields.
This sounds very interesting. Do you have any pictures of these books or your press? I'd be very interested in seeing them.

Were you by chance a teenager during the Gingrich years?

I was a voting adult in the 90s, and if we restrict the criteria to my lifetime, the Gingrich years can be tagged as when I noticed more divisiveness and “politics as a team sport”. I lay this at the feet of ol’ Newt and (as one example) his “Contract with America”. From a subjective point of view it’s when “we didn’t get our way, so we’ll be obstructionists” started, and the Republican Party appears to have made it a platform since then.

With TLS, the symmetric encryption keys are always newly generated regardless of the cipher suite chosen; the difference with the ephemeral cipher suites is how the keys are communicated.

Without forward secrecy, the client chooses the premaster secret, encrypts it with the server's public key, and sends it in the ClientKeyExchange message. With forward secrecy, the client receives signed ServerDHParams in the ServerKeyExchange and responds with ClientDiffeHellmanPublic in the ClientKeyExchange.
The Lightning Network [1] is very close to being released. If that works out, then you'll be able to buy a cup of coffee instantly, and with no fees.

You would still have to open a "payment channel", which requires a single Bitcoin transaction. So you might fund this single payment channel with $100 USD, and use that to buy all your coffees for a month or two. I think that's no different to having $100 in a checking account.

YOLO's a bad way to do it. I tried a bunch of facial recog libraries, had overall bad success for larger frame sizes and framerates. I also don't have a CUDA/OpenCL card for my laptops. So it's CPU for me.... Alas.

OpenCV's facialRecognizer class is one of the fastest I found. And it's what I used in my program.

Primarily, it does a LBP cascade finding "any face", including ones that look like walls. Thankfully it has False positives, but almost never false negatives. Then, I use each region of interest's area and do a haar cascade for eyes. If theres at least 1 eye in the region of interst, I pass it to the classifier.

From there, the classifier then runs the image zone into the classifier. If its not there, it adds it. if it is, then it adds this as another sample to further prove the face.

Let's get real: You are not a disabled person. You just don't look like the average person which makes people think you are disabled. But people think wrong all the time; and this should never be an issue.

A disabled person is that, by definition. He can't do the task because of his disability. So he can't get things done unlike you. If you are in the digital space, can move reasonably well, can type and use the mouse, and your brain functions are not altered; I don't see why you won't be able to compete with the average person.

In fact, I'd say it is the opposite. The average person is disabled by everyday life distractions. Like dating for example. Or traveling around. I can see someone in a chair performing better than them. You can get a lot done via internet. Like emails, paying invoices, setting up stuff, etc... You don't need to move much if you are building a SaaS.

The disabled guy will be sticked to the chair with no access to the rest of the world "entertainment". Their best entertainment is to carry on work.
