True true true. I know of some banks where invest.examplebank.com and bank.examplebank.com are controlled by mutually distrustful organizations.

GP was referencing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cobra_effect

Some ways this could play out would be:

a) Found a startup that does $immoral_thing, wait for "payouts for everyone" to start rolling in.

b) Like (a), but just invent fake employees and give them a linkedin and some social media profile.

c) As an employee, keep joining immoral enterprises. I get a payday every time! So sort of a reverse incentive actually.
that's a walkthrough anyone can follow.

When the barrier to entry for "hacking" credentials and sensitive information is so low, the world's really in trouble...
I agree with your sentiment, I should have asserted that I was thinking strictly for use as a currency.

as an aside, no one can make infinite of anything so I do not think that part of the comment applies.
By the way, stripe has a cool new project, "stripe-mock": https://github.com/stripe/stripe-mock

It lets you run a local stripe API on your machine. I've got high hopes in it. This could be the cure to building resilient stripe tests on local machines.

Pick 100 random Koreans who traded in any cryptocurrency in the past 30 days, and I guarantee that 95 of them will never figure out how to store their coins in their hard drive even if someone held a gun to their heads.

You don't have to bust doors to seize cryptocoins. Just make its usage sufficiently "socially unacceptable", and people will find it's not worth the hassle.

Sure, some determined people will keep using them, but they are not what the government is worried about. The government is worried about all those average Kims and Parks who threw their life savings into $(some coin nobody heard about), because when the inevitable hits these people and their families may lose jobs, career, and livelihood.
I'm a Linux user (my Windows days predated Powershell), so I'm unfamiliar here.
I think the biggest concern such a setup gives me would be:

1. is whatever encoding the CLR uses for IPC efficient enough for all purposes?

2. can you stream objects / push multiple objects? (some programs, such as tar, generate potentially massive amounts of output that you cannot buffer)

Otherwise, that actually sounds a good deal stronger than my initial suggestion, and potentially a lot more powerful. (I think I just wonder about its generality & performance.)
Show HN: Vue's Hacker News 2.0 App in TypeScript
The "novelty" behind "Generative Adversarial Networks" (GANs), a very popular deep learning network, is based on Game Theory. It's a "game" between a Generator and a Discriminator networks where one try to fool the other. The Generator tries to fool the Discriminator by producing output the Discriminator can't distinguish between fake or real.

You can find real-word applications for GANs (specially the Pix2Pix variety) in a lot of domains.
Your assumption that there is such a thing as a "secure network" is foolish. ISPs inject vulnerable javascript into pages, ISPs have vulnerable routers, ISPs have bad passwords on their devices, ISPs have criminals on staff, ISPs run traffic through unencrypted microwave links that anyone close to the beam can listen in to, ISPs have devices running in remote locations, ... and your traffic is going to run through who knows how many ISPs, possibly even through other countries, ... in short, it simply doesn't make sense to build anything on the assumption that the network is secure.
Simplygon was the product brand of Donya Labs who were acquired by Microsoft in January this year. The brand was a play on the words since their original product was based on polygon reduction.

While less familiar to the HN audience, the Simplygon platform - is used in most triple AAA games studios and several fortune 1000 manufacturing companies for optimizing polygonal game and CAD data-sets for real time 3D graphics. While the name may be unfamiliar to those outside of 3D industry- it has a huge amount of credibility within the industry and with 3D artists and 3D real time developers.

Disclaimer - I worked with the team at Donya prior to their acquisition.
I think slide 12 touches on this. Even in the case of an image we can process it pixel by pixel, but that would be lunacy!

For text great results have been achieved using automatons, but they only work for structured strings and break if you add only a little bit of noise.

I feel like ML should be considered whenever you feel like programming something requires you to deal with many different cases, you have a lot of example data available, and having some false positives / true negatives is not a big problem.
Is generating a cryptographically secure secret stream that fast?
Supply and demand. If you want mining to reduce emissions, increase the cost of energy. Bitcoin will remain unaffected. Don't blame bitcoin because of the cost of energy. Blame the energy producers for selling it to miners at that price.
Ah, I see. But I think that's still the same "one-way conversion" thing that avoids the issue, right? If you buy a $50 iTunes card, you can't spend $25 of it on iTunes and get the other $25 back as cash.

Patreon could certainly do that, but either they haven't considered it or--probably more likely--they don't like the idea. There could be practical reasons for not wanting to do that; a lot of people have talked about Patreon's problems with chargebacks, for instance, when people want to cancel pledges but they're bundled together with pledges they want to keep going all in one credit card transaction. In this balance card scenario, it'd be easy to have someone say, "Hey, I wanna cancel the monthly pledges I'm giving and get my balance back," and they could lose a lot of goodwill if they say, "Yeah, you can't do that." (While many of us would rather receive cash than gift cards, we generally understand that an iTunes gift card is something we can only use by spending at iTunes.)

> Why didn’t they buy Dish

They probably tried and couldn't work out an agreement. Dish is sort of infamous for being hard to work with, and has inflated the cost of their company by squatting on large amounts of spectrum they have zero intention of ever using. And that's all before getting into personality conflicts between both companies CEOs.
Why does anyone care what Sam Altman thinks?
This makes me think,why not use trained humans to come up with challenges that can't be solved easily or efficiently with training data. As an example, a team of 2,000 humans can come up with about 10,000 challenges an hour to be solved by 1,000,000 visitors an hour. The key being humans trained to generate questions and challenges that they themselves wouldn not have to solve as part of any regular activity or event.

The labor cost can obviously be outsourced(or not) and it makes sense to charge as a service to sites.

However,this makes me ask one more question - what if popularity in ML creates meanial jobs for humans similar to my theoretical solution? Everyone looks at the benefits of ML,but all good technologies get abused and it's hard to imagine even more ML countering abused ML.
> what guaranteed monthly checks does to ambition

Do you think it's a coincidence that that check is only guaranteed in the absence of ambition? You've seen the perverse incentives of means-tested welfare, not the effects of a UBI.
I have no better idea, but it's a problematic plan. If you go with this, you will be surprised by underground deals that will stop that division, and will very likely mislead you.

The good part is that it focus on fixing the government. That's the correct entity to fix.
Sam talked right over something very important. He points out that poor people have a hard time making rent and buying food. He then notes that it was difficult to give them money without affecting their subsidies. I've said before, if you give poor people money the first thing that will change is their rent. Every time the government make money for something more available the price of that something goes up - see housing (lower interest rates increase prices) and student loans (no explanation needed).

IMHO the key is not to give people money, but to reduce the cost of their existence. Get rid of the mortgage deduction. Reduce or eliminate property taxes on homes. Heck, put a cap on what percentage of a home price can be borrowed.

I agree that unlocking many peoples potential may require freeing them financially, but I don't agree that you do it by handing out money.

While I'm ranting, I'd expect someone in tech to be able to model or simulate a hundred million person economy and figure out how to get desired outcomes rather than jump on some popular untested idea like BI. Kudos for trying to test it though, but it's not a real test unless it's economy-wide (rents won't really increase if 0.1 percent of the people get free money).
a good concept.

I had the idea recently to offer a global "cash advance" / "payday loan" service.
Your website, BTW, serves itself as ISO-8859-1¹, but the actual data is UTF-8. The result is that any non-ASCII is mojibake. (Such as the degree/minute/second symbols in the location example, or the second text example).

¹you serve a Content-Type of text/html, with no charset, and you have no <meta> charset in the HTML itself, so this is the default.

And after looking at that on the website, that is a very interesting approach.

What're the next steps, action plan to remediate?

Is there really much required in "working out how best to prevent it? "
I checked on that a while back as well. As far as i can find out SE HRNG is not exposed to user at all. It used internally in quite complicated process of secure booting and unlocking iOS device (there is an interesting presentation floating around with all details of reverse engineering of that process, and amount of security designed by Apple into their own hardware-to-hardware protocols is on very respectable level of insane). I think its likely SE HRNG is included in seeding /dev/urandom on iOS, so it is one of the most secure CSPRNGs around.
"nets you millions"

probably not if

"tax the hell out of wealth"

... right?
It seems to me that at this point in time, the only substantive action they can take is

- cancel this change

- consult with the community about how to solve the perceived problem

Both of which they appear to be doing. I get that the proof of sincerity is in what solution they eventually move forward with, but I think what people are pushing back at you on is your apparent argument that what they've done so far to fix this isn't good enough. I think what they've done so far to fix this is literally all they can do at this moment.

The latency isn't from the cipher; it's from touching the data an additional time. A NIC with inline encryption adds negligible latency but Google probably doesn't have those.
Quite possibly! Only one way to find out.
Vine actually died because of this.
Unbeknown to you, there are plenty of programmers, and engineers making "only" 45k / year or less.

And that is already a lot of money. More money than I can think of spending and enough money to let me save 50% of my paycheque.

So excuse us for making 'barely anything above minimum wage'
if everything you do that yields wealth gets taxed to death, then pretty much no one will do anything that will generate wealth just to give it away to everyone else... it's a zero sum game that only idiots will play.
RLY? How on earth can a read from /dev/random be non blocking if it does not have sufficient entropy?

My understanding is that /dev/random "promises" to return decent random stuff, /dev/urandom returns decently algorithmically generated random stuff. urandom is good, random is better but finicketty and can sulk for a while.
My citibank credit card redirects me to "cardservicesdirect.com.au" -- which reads like a phishing site if I've ever seen one.

I confirmed over the phone with their support that was indeed the correct site before typing anything into it.
this is exactly what I say every single time someone shows off a project like this. Give me valuable data (and lots of it).

Instead of an algorithm store, have a dataset store. I wanna buy a dataset of 1 million tagged stackoverflow questions. I wanna buy a dataset of 1 million random Amazon reviews. I wanna buy a dataset of 1 million blog comments. i wanna buy a dataset updated monthly of billions of new urls found in the web. data, data, data.

with data I can come up with a crude algorithm that works in a day. with no data, not even the most sophisticated algorithm will work.
The way the Bitcoin protocol works is that there is a worldwide vote every ten minutes or so to decide how much money everyone owns. So when people say they own 5 BTC or whatever, what they're really saying is that the political faction that's currently in power recognizes them as having that many Bitcoin. But if a different party wins control of Bitcoin, how much money they're seen as owning could change drastically overnight.

No, they don't. They are given extra responsibility and promotions much quicker than the women. I think the staff division in our local primary school is something like 4 guys and 25+ women. Everyone loves them.

sorry but $100K is not a lot of income these days, especially in places like CA and NY, so a 20% tax increase or a loss of $8K/year would be DEVESTATING! so, you just want to f' over all these perceived "wealthy" people (who are actually pretty f'ing middle class in CA or NY) for what? to let slackers play video games all day? F THAT!
> people in West Michigan think highly of Amway of all places

...not really. A very token few people actually think highly of Amway.

The majority will quietly put up with Amway, since they do give a few people a small living, but will always temper that statement with "of course Amway is a giant pyramid scheme scam and you shouldn't ever be a reseller, don't fall for the trap".

They'll just coat that statement in Midwest-nice language that sounds like praise. If you don't speak the language, it's easy to miss the subtleties.

You've described a situation. A situation itself is not a game theory. A situation might lend itself to being modelled using techniques from game theory, but you've not pointed at why.

Someone could equally say the situation you described is 'strategy' or 'design' or 'product management' and it would be equally enlightening.

It's not liquid capital, it's not cash. It potentially has no value, yet giving it away will likely help with the donors' tax situation. Likewise, by giving more people Bitcoin et al, it creates more people with vested interest and who will likely speak positively about Bitcoin et al - which is all to help perpetuate the openly talked about, decentralized and global Ponzi schemes that are taking place.

Vendors have to go through FCC certification before shipping consumer electronics. If the FCC adds security audit to this,maybe so much of these silly insecurities could be solved before leaving the factory(to avoid wastes FCC certification fees).

I don't think you need to use rebase solve this issue at all. All you need to do is to make sure is that every commit on master, is on your feature branch, which you can still do with merging. Something like:

Whether you use rebase or merge is a completely orthogonal issue.

Perhaps true, but there's more to life than money. The basic formula for work enjoyment is autonomy, mastery and purpose (the intrinsic motivators) and those are often much more attainable at a startup. Money and fame are extrinsic motivators that many find ring hollow after a while and they notice they don't enjoy waking up and going into the office each morning.

Everyone's situation is different so try not to assert that any choice is incorrect based on a single, somewhat vacuous metric.

There's no risk to not selling - so it's more the question of why not hold? The reason why to hold is because these crypto-assets are fragile and they know if too many people try to liquidate before more people jump onto this global Ponzi scheme then the price will crash. But they know it's a matter of time before people who already made tons of money will start to slowly re-inject money, buying to move the price up again - each new buyer supporting each other - until a flood of the general public (or new big time investors) pump money into the ecosystem.
