This happened to me as well a few weeks back. Smells a lot like a Ponzi scheme.

Looking for a new exchange, but they're all having problems with staying online or verifying new accounts.
It would be fine. The HK Stock Exchange used to operate 4 hours a day, and everyone was reasonably happy (particularly brokers with their 2 hour lunch break). Most exchanges open and close daily. Even FX pretty much ceases to trade weekends. It is not axiomatic that any BTC/fiat cross must trade continuously, let alone on Coinbase.

The fact that Coinbase has clients globally is not pertinent to the discussion (or only insofar as the distribution of those clients could influence at what time you'd want to put a daily trading break).

However, granted, a 10 minute trading break daily looks like too much effort to be worth it. A scheduled monthly break of an hour or so sounds reasonable.
Is the plugin opensource, where can we vet it? I can't find it on github or anything like I can with the other plugins I use
This is spot on - the shops that will survive will be the ones that provide knowledge, service, and experiences. Group rides, classes, free espressos while your bike is being serviced, etc.
One of my relatives is a safety engineer at a plant.
Remotely he can connect to a read only console, if there are any changes he has to call someone on the inside to make them.

I don’t know how robust that read only aspect is, but it seems like a good middle ground if faithfully implemented.
The arrest on the verge of her alleged flight to Syria makes this sound very similar to the FBI undercover "terrorist" stings. She was doing nothing obviously wrong at the airport, so the arrest signals they were expecting her.

My current bike I did buy at a local shop partly because I wanted to be able to test-ride before I made the purchase. And I'm glad a did. I tried a few different models, and have been pretty pleased with the choice I made. But most of the subsequent maintenance has been done by shops that are primarily service shops, and not dealers. They sell bits and supplies, of course, but their bread & butter is repair work. My experience is that I get better service from them than from dealers that just want to get your bike out of the shop as quickly as possible.
Well, that's easy to remember!

http://www.playcatan.com had a pretty good client... too bad it's not open for new registrations any more. They have Catan Universe now instead - not sure how good it is, though.
The private key is the secret. Someone who steals it does not have to break anything.

In this case it is similar to a physical lock on a safe: if you lose the key to the safe you just have to accept that you no longer can access the contents of the safe.

You can have wallets that are protected by multiple keys, but there is not a whole lot of wallet software that does this in an easy to use way right now.
I like the feel of the new keyboards but I've heard that they're much less reliable. (keys get stuck with the smallest of debris). And since Apple's obsessed with integrating everything now, you have to replace the entire assembly for a stuck key, which costs something like $500. And that's an absolutely ridiculous tradeoff and the epitome of "form over function"

I don't have one but my wife's new laptop has the keyboard. I really hope we don't have to deal with that.
Tabletop Simulator is good, once you get used to it and learn a few keyboard shortcuts! Only downside is it's usually $30 and I am not 100 percent sure if the catan ports are safe to forever remain? If anyone has insight on the legalities of Tabletop Simulator I am curious.
Please, ask away, it's easier to clear up things when you have access to the experts, like on HN. If you purchase Bitcoin through an exchange, typically you don't have the private key, you just trust the exchange to do all the nitty gritty for you.

If you generate a new address with a wallet software, it'll have a private key (that is much longer than the deliveryAddress.length) and you can move your funds from an exchange to this address (whereupon you'll have complete control).

If you lose the private key it's [basically] impossible to recover with brute force, which is the point. If someone takes the physical hard disk from you and you have no backup of the info, yes, it's gone.

If you somehow have your info stolen, but still remember it (via air-gapped pc text file or something) you can move the funds before they get swiped. Again, use wallet software to generate a new address with a new private key and repeat.

So either you have a really good way to store your private addresses so you can still use your coins in the future, or you trust an exchange to hold the coins and you don't play in that realm at all. Those are the most popular options currently.
Thanks! Reason Im asking is first ive Never traded btc and second I have friends who started and I can imagine they know anything about crypto, private keys, secrets etc. I might need to point this out to them if they continue with this.
Why is this better than using a fiber optic cable? I guess light travels slightly faster through the air compared to either glass or plastic (the two typical optical media used for cables) which would reduce the transmission time, but I can't imagine that the slight decrease in latency is worth the massive increase in downtime due to atmospheric interference.
I came to ask just this question. :)
AnySequence is a behavior specification, right? That seems pretty structural to me.
I've been talking on HN basically non-stop about geometric algebra (aka Clifford, Grassman, Exterior algebra) which I've been exploring as of late. I'm not a math person but GA is possibly the most exciting math field to me. It's a replacement for linear algebra but unlike LA it actually makes fucking sense (e.g. cross product generalizes beyond 3 and 7 dimensions, but there's a lot more).

Basically it unifies the geometric concepts of a line and a circle (in GA, a line is just a circle with points on the circle at infinite distances). As a result, you can do very useful computations very easily. E.g. a point times a point gives you a line connecting the points. It kind of makes sense, because generally, you care more about objects around you as opposed to all objects in one direction to infinity.

It's also a generalization of the complex plane beyond 2D. I finally kinda understand complex numbers.

So much shit is easier in this formalism, esp. anything related to reasoning about space. This includes but isn't limited to computer vision, crystallography, graphics, physics (all the quantum shit makes sense in GA, Maxwell's equations too, in GA, Maxwell's equations are reduced from 4 to 1!!!, https://slehar.wordpress.com/2014/03/18/clifford-algebra-a-v...).

For example there's something called CSVM (Clifford SVM) which learns any given manifold, unlike an SVM which learns a hyperplane.

It also replaces quite a bit of differential geometry[0], as you you can answer questions from differential geometry without resorting to calculus.

I feel like some sort of burden has been lifted from me, because I feel like so much higher mathematics is a lot more accessible in this formalism. But your mileage might vary.

[0] pls note that some time ago I didn't give a fuck about differential geometry but somehow I do now.

My statement wasn't about the decision making part, but about the other commenter's suggestion to have"the government" pay for the new receivers.
Once you've done that work once it will be much easier the next time. Affordable bikes don't have any sort of self adjustment, everything has to be done manually, so if you don't know how to make the adjustments you will be in the shop every few months getting it tuned back up. In my experience shifters are the worst for getting slightly out of whack as the chain wears out, and are the most fiddly when tuning. Brakes are the second worst as you're trying to balance the spring tension on the two sides exactly so it doesn't rub.
I ride a motorcycle and was involved in a collision a few months ago and I can attest to one thing from the article:

"Your life will probably not be the same"

I wasn't injured as badly as the author was but flying through the air and breaking bones hurts. Thing is, I only changed my perspective because I was forced to. I'm much more patient on the bike, and more alert too. People everywhere drive while distracted (eating, makeup, the phone, their computer!, putting clothes on) and now I have to assume they will attempt to murder me. Most drivers don't have to go through that. They literally forget that driving is inherently extremely dangerous because they have ever improving cages around them. I would say that the vast majority of drivers are grossly negligent on the road.

Like other commenters mentioned, I've changed my language about vehicle collisions. I refuse to call them "accidents". Some may be, but "accident" implies that there's no fault. That nobody fucked up; but that's just not true in real life. People literally merge on top of me, while I'm __not__ lane-splitting at least 4-5 times a week. I consider almost any traffic death manslaughter, at least. If there's clear fault / distracted driving I consider it murder. It might be an extreme conclusion, but distracted driving is essentially saying "My trivial needs are more important than other motorists' lives." and it saddens me that our judicial system fails to adequately select for responsible driving.
A few week's ago I read a a paper entitled "Modeling: optimal marathon performance on the basis of physiological factors".

I found the topic incredibly interesting. In this paper (from 1991) the author examines the limiting factors in human running and tries to build a model that gives you a bound on how fast a human could run a marathon. The results he got is 1:57:58.

You can take a look at the paper here http://fermatslibrary.com/s/modeling-optimal-marathon-perfor...
I get the impression that Pidgin, Trillian and the other one I can't really remember just gave up at some point.

I'm using Pidgin, mostly out of nostalgia, but the default configuration basically can't connect to any mainstream messenger these days (Facebook, WhatsApp, Hangouts, Skype or Viber). Plus the UI is so dated, especially regarding emojis.

Before anyone asks, it's in C and I'm nowhere competent (or interested enough in gaining the required competency) to contribute.

With stuff like Pidgin you notice what mindshare really means. A "crappy" Electron based app is nicer to use than the "native" one. In the end, it's all about coders polishing code. No hours put in, no end result coming out.
If at least there where crawlspaces for inspection robots planned into the design.

That hard "if" really bothers me, too. My phone has the FM receiver unlocked, but the software will not allow it to be turned on unless there is something plugged into the headphone jack (which my phone is also progressive enough to still possess).
I am fully aware that the reception is going to be poor without a good antenna, but it really bothers me to have that option taken away. I'm standing right next to a kilowatt transmitter. Let's give it a try and see what happens, no?

Have fun in Lynx. that's probably the only browser that wouldn't do something like this.

Well maybe Safari, not because Apple wouldn't, but because they just don't care enough about ad revenue.

Just coming up to speed, apologies for the potentially obvious questions.

1. Can you explain what you mean by "unknown Mozilla developers?" Unknown to whom?

2. Can you provide more detail on what specific configuration changes are reverted when opening the add-ons window? That sounds like a fairly serious bug.

3. What is the specific "this" you're trying to "properly disable?" You shouldn't have to dive into things like lockpref.

Mozilla (and other browser vendors) have the ability to push updates to their browsers outside of the normal release cadence. In many cases, these updates are distributed as add-ons, as they're cleanly separated from the rest of the browser internals, but that's just an implementation detail. If you visit about:support in Firefox, you should see a table of "Firefox Features," which are exactly that. Their source lives at: https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-unified/file/tip/browser/exte...

For example, we used a system add-on to control the gradual roll-out of multiprocess Firefox, and the New Tab page is also implemented as an add-on called "activity-stream."

Since everyone is sharing their AIM memories: When I was in college (1995-1998), AIM was the #1 way to flirt with people. Today the kids worry about whether they got a like or not.

Back then, you'd sit and stare at your buddy list waiting for that person you liked to come online so you could say something witty, and then stew with worry if they didn't respond but remained online.
Chamath is all about entertainment, his Q&A was fun to watch and filled with brilliant one liners that are quote worthy in their shallowness. Ultimately his advice is useless to a group of people that have to work for a living.

Do I know what I'm talking about? Yes, and no. Yes, I know about GPUs and graphics programming, and no, I don't know the specifics of the Star Citizen game engine, other than being an interested follower of their YouTube channel, and reading some articles.

I'm talking about GPU support here for accelerated graphics and physics, not CPU. Obviously, CPUs have had native double support for a long time.

Doubles have been hardware accelerated for some time for both graphics and physics, BUT: until recently you paid a heavy price for doing double calculations on the GPU (20x slower or more typically), especially on lower-end hardware and obviously increased memory requirements. Most game engines have until relatively recently used 32-bit floats for pretty much everything, although often selectively using 64-bits or multiple scaled reference frames for positioning over larger scales.

From what I understand, Star Citizen converted their game engine to use 64-bit floating point for worldspace positioning in both their graphics and physics pipelines, so they can have a single coordinate system for positioning at the scale of an entire solar system, without having to worry about precision issues. My understanding is that Star Citizen uses the GPU heavily for graphics, physics, procedural generation, and simulation using graphics shaders (vertex/fragment, etc) and compute shaders.

You're right of course that graphics and physics can be implemented independently, but they have to share coordinates and data at some level, and if you have to convert between multiple precisions, coordinates systems, and frames of reference, you are potentially making things more difficult and negatively affecting performance.

From the Star Citizen interviews I've seen, my understanding is that the conversion to 64-bit worldspace simplified their development (all their components can share worldspace data) at only a small cost to performance on modern hardware, and they obviously felt it was worth the trade-off. However, technical detail in many of the videos I've watched has been rather lacking, and some articles have clearly misinterpreted what they've done. I doubt their entire engine has been converted to use 64-bit for everything, which is probably wasteful, and would severely limit the hardware capable of running it.

It is usually a result of a fight between control system engineers and IT people. The IT people see an ethernet cable and think that they should control it and in order to do that they connect the two networks. There are ways to do it safely, like placing a database in a DMZ that the PLCs write to and have computers on the other side read from the database without ever connecting to the PLCs, but that requires expertise and a security mindset.
And nimbys.

Potentially cost of the fiber optic cable and the installation of it.

Also no idea in India but in the US a lot of times although their are existing power poles internet providers can't necessarily get permission to string their fiber on them. Same problem can happen with existing in ground pipes. And any trenching or installing new poles becomes very expense.
The best ones handle a range. I don't want a mechanic who's too good to touch my commuter bike, but I don't want a dude wrenching on the expensive Campagnolo bits on my road bike whose experience primarily consists of bashing stuff together on fixies, either.

I really miss my shop in Italy - that guy occasionally worked on pro's bikes. Like the guy who won a gold medal in the olympics. But he always had time for me, and whatever bike I brought in - whether it was the rusty commuter or the nice bike I'd bought from him.

I would never consider buying a bike on line. They're always going to need maintenance and having someone who knows what they're doing is worthwhile.

My theory on tether is their goal is to absorb as much downward (selling) pressure as possible on the BTC/USD market and encourage only upward movement of BTC (equally applies to any other crypto)

1) Someone who wants to sell $1M USD of BTC may be happy to take $1M USDT instead for legal/tax purposes. This transaction would have zero impact on the BTC/USD price.

2) Tether receives $1M worth of BTC they can slowly disperse back into the market via their own exchange (since Bitfinex owns Tether) in a controlled manner that doesn't push the price down.

3) With USD in hand they can either put it into their reserves (assuming we trust them) or they could also use the cash to further eliminate any selling pressure on the exchange (with a large buy order "wall") or even generate upward pressure.

4) BTC price becomes stable or only moves upward and attracts more outside money and speculation. Repeat the cycle.
