Sent 5000€ to Bitcoin.com wallet never received my Bitcoins
Hello,

So I’m new in the bitcoin world and yesterday I decided to buy 5000€ worth of bitcoins on bitcoin.com wallet https://itunes.apple.com/fr/app/bitcoin-wallet-by-bitcoin-com/id1252903728?l=en&mt=8
So I have received the confirmation of the payment
But there is nothing on my balance !! I am very worried that the payment has been devoted since the 12 December in the morning and my bitcoin balance is still empty. I keep emailing them and they send me a random email saying that

Dear Customer,

Due to the heavy spike in demand for bitcoin and other currencies recently, almost all of the exchanges are having delays in delivery of coins.

First of all, my bitcoins should have appeared and secondly I only find my transaction on the block chain with the cash bitcoin wallet address (BCH) even if I bought BTC !! Anyways long story short this whole mess is making me very angry so I leave the team until the end of the day to transfer me my bitcoins. I already have a lawyer that takes care of crypto currencies cases ready to attack
The team should really wake up and not try to still people’s money

Unfortunately I am somewhat older and I am cursed with a very good memory. The behaviour I describe in the OP used to be the standard for Microsoft.

Feel free to audit the source code if you want, I'm not using Windows any more so I don't really care.
Well ethernet didn't start over twisted pair. It started over thick coax. Something that is not that far from setting up a couple of radios.

Now you are more likely to get the minimum speed this way (1MB?) than the GB stuff some of us have come accustomed too.

>> Don't bother with repeaters. Get normal access points, and install several of them if you need to disperse the range around a large area/building/complex.

Or better yet, buy a bunch of Ubiqity UniFi's, which were specifically made for this purpose and should provide the most seamless and efficient way to blanket your house in Wifi (provided you already have cabling to the access points). They are not cheap, but also not extremely expensive compared to a decent router either.
There is a frightening amount of people having huge problems with the rule on here. I'd guess they are quite young and grew up in this unregulated time, not even knowing what they've missed.

Relax. Looking across the sea, Japan has been positive on cryptocurrencies. Japan is always Korea's main rival and influencer when it comes to technology and everything else. This rivalry is deeply embedded in the Korean psyche. Most likely they will follow Japan's lead, they would not risk Japan taking any pieces of the crypto-currency pie from them.
It's sad how such a good engine is completely ruined by such a bad UI toolkit. I think has never happened in the history of browsers. I would give Edge a chance if it used a normal UI, but the metro one is ugly and performs laughably poorly.

I wonder how the engine developers feel about that, pouring their hearts in their work only to see it being worthless because of a managerial decision.
Lol, why? Nobody uses Edge unless that's the only thing allowed.
No surprise there, as analog phones are basically two lines of telegraph wire.
As magic script author, who completed the book step by step, I want to say, you won't get "intimately familiar with the OS" after completion. What you will learn:
* needed packages: purpose, how and in which order to build them
* really basics of OS configuration
* fault intolerance to mistakes

So, why I've built such script? I think it is needed for the next steps, where you actually might want to modify kernel/tools/configuration to gain the knowledge how things are (not-)working.

> That pushes most of the weights to be really close to zero unless larger values are necessary.

So why not have a certain epsilon, below which you can turn the connection off altogether? (meaning the back-propagation would only apply to the remaining connections) To avoid getting stuck in local minima you could occasionally re-initialise them with a random small value.

Again, zero background in machine learning here. It's a sincerely naive question to which I fully expect a "we've tried that with, methods X, Y and Z are most famous and this is how they work out in practice".

> It will still be allowed to use mobile phones for "emergencies" from what I read, i.e. a teacher is not here and a child wants to contact a parent regarding that.

If that happened in my son's school (he's 5) I would expect one of the pupils to simply wander into another classroom, or reception. Given the number of parents who work full time I'm not sure what good a child phoning their parent is going to be.

In the highly unlikely event I need to contact my child, I will phone the school and they will pass on a message.
The real question is why we so happily give away personal, even sensitive information to companies that explicitly —perhaps not explicitly enough— say they exploit that data to monetise their service. When you demand zero-cost email, social networks, search engines, IP-telephony, etc, you have to expect that any —if not all— data you hand over is going to be used against you.

That's most traditionally the Amazon/Ebay model, guiding you into buying something you don't need, or a SKU with a higher ticket price, but as we're seeing recently, there are also parties spending money to insidiously influence the sociopolitical news and opinion you get to see.

Both Facebook, Google and Twitter all boast about their ability to target adverts and "promoted" posts.

And it's not enough to pay for a search engine, or shunt over to a social network nobody uses. If you want free of this, you have to make painful choices, like getting you and yours off Facebook and Google and onto services either you control or you know aren't being mined and adjusted. Getting the hell away from Windows as it tiptoes around privacy-hell.

Unfortunately, because people have neither the appetite or technical know-how to run or audit their own social networks, what seems more likely is we're just going to chase people off these "liberal" platforms onto ones with even stronger tints.
I have fish installed because for some odd reason, the "SSH link" feature of Midnight Commander didn't work across two servers that we use. After installing it I could use the "Shell Link" feature and it was lovely to be able to exchange files between servers using a 'graphical' terminal. Specially useful with some of our devs which aren't too command line happy.
I would say that as someone who is very addicted to books and will tend to escape reality through novels that, yes, for a certain kind of people, books can be much worse than mobile phones.

I've had days where I didn't eat because I was immersed in a story, I will skip sleep, neglect my work, not shower when I'm inside a good novel. And, that behavior will continue until I've finished reading the entire series.
I have worked in C (twenty-five years), C++, Python, Perl (twenty years), JavaScript, Common Lisp (for ten years), OCaml, forth, postscript, and also q/Kdb.

I think a lot can be done to improve teaching q/Kdb.

The current “best practice” is to change you until it makes sense but this takes time- anywhere from 6 months to a couple years based on your other experiences. And you still have to want to “get it”.

I want that to be better.

However this is alien technology: the terseness is a feature. Limited locals are a feature. The evaluation order is a feature. These things actually help it go fast (as surprising as that is!)

We only just recently got “a debugger” and good error messages because of repeated complaints and wishes for it from newbies, but there is a reason experienced Kdb/q programmers never wanted it. Why doesn’t that reason prompt those newbies to figure out why?

Yes, ideally you would learn the way and the why we do things, but there are a number of serious hurdles to overcome: To you q/Kdb seems merely unpolished even if maybe “fast”. Is it worth it? “Maybe”, you suggest, but then there are crazy people like me telling you something preposterous; that q/Kdb is actually incredibly well crafted, highly readable and an absolute pleasure to use.

I'm also trying to say that everything is worth learning: Nim and Python and JavaScript are all basically the same thing. You learned one of them, you kindof learned them all, so adding another one feels like these things are easy to learn. Alien technology is alien though, you haven't learned any of it. How can we even talk to each other?

I'm hopeful: Lambda was tricky, but it snuck in to things. Can we get tables, views, and high code density?

We need to find something better- some better way to talk about it, but the peanut gallery is loud.

I've been using fish on my laptop for some time now, it is an interesting project and I use it personally for purely aesthetic reasons. However I have a lot of muscle memory with bash-isms which also work in ZSH.

History expansion `!$` for example, is missing.

SDTIN redirects as I expect `<<<` etc; are also missing. And to get ^R to work again I had to install fzf.

Now, I am fairly certain I'm doing it wrong, but I never found a good place to read how to do it the fish way... If anyone has good replacements for the things I've mentioned I'd be quite keen to hear them.
Digital technology has its place, but in its present form, it's too easy to get distracted. My nephews would probably spend 10x as much time looking up youtube videos and playing pay-to-win apps than they would googling things if they had access to their phones in class.

I agree that in general the drive to "put a computer in every classroom" is absolutely moronic; in general, I think teachers don't adequately understand which technology is useful and cost-effective and which is not, and especially for teaching administrators, "technology" is just some nebulous black-box codeword for "expensive equipment." However, there is value in teaching children how to use technology effectively. For example, very few people know how to properly craft a google search, or how to discern a reliable source from a poor one. A lot of people, and especially children, can't even tell the difference between sponsored content and regular content. These are very important to teach children and I think this should be done in a scholastic context, as few parents would even have the skills to teach this. The problem is teaching kids these skills without distracting them - the secondary problem is that they're probably not learning from people who are very knowledgable themselves.

I think the ideal solution is some kind of locked-down, school-only (as in, it must physically stay within the school) tablet or laptop. It's probably counter-productive to spend too much time teaching children to write/read from physical media when >95% of a child's exposure to media from now to the foreseeable future will be digital. Ironically maybe our best bet is a "digital typewriter"
Good that plain JavaScript 5/6 with no framework is still in the top 2 in all related charts. Looking back how many frameworks came and went dodo, I am using only small libraries and stay with plain vanilla JS 5/6.

Writing modern JS is a peace of cake, it's better to understand 100% of the codebase than to use way too much magic APIs. (well I understand the whole computer, all layers, from hardware to operating system, to software - so there is no magic for me, that helps a lot)
No, that wasn't me, unfortunately. I'm a little wary of doing it because of pre-launch NDA issues. Maybe post-launch I'll write something up.
CorelDRAW is a vectors graphics program.

I often use Inkscape for text I'm going to laser cut because it does a proper job of creating text outlines compared with Draftsight which manages to bork the text when I run explodetext command.

What I don't understand using a vector graphics program to generate CNC cut items is how do you specify dimensions? CAD files have dimensionality inherent.

How does that aspect work?

That doesn't solve the problem that Google still constantly knows where I am (as long as my OS is Android). Wasn't there an article hinting that our smartphones even track GPS when it's disabled?

Looks pretty close, yeah.

So this is basically dividing the network into two groups, and give each group a second weight: one for those that are on, zero for those that are off.

Has anyone tried more variants of this? Using random bundling + various levels of amplification of such bundles, so that backpropagation affects various networks differently?

As a kid in the 80s I didn't respect authority because I read Enid Blyton books (written in the 40s), who taught me that the local police were at best benign, but more likely incompetent.

There you go then. Although I'm sure either activity exasperated teachers, I hope you'll agree that drawing is a much more creative and useful skill.

Thanks for the tip. Might consider that in the future. Probably not though, as mac OS is such a better OS. But the hacker in me still kinda likes the idea of Linux, used to run it as my main OS for long time before Mac Os X.
The difference is that the minimal situation needed for magenta/purple is objectively different from the minimal situation needed for yellow. (Assuming reality exists, etc.)

While you could try to engineer a more efficiently yellowness-detector, engineering a better magentaness-detector would be a qualitatively different kind of biological machine.

To me the most exciting prospect is exponentially faster simulation of quantum systems. Computational chemistry really sucks because either you rely on heuristics or you can't simulate systems with more that a handful of atoms. If we had big quantum computers we might make real inroads into understanding protein folding and could figure out how to make artificial proteins to use for all kinds of applications. Proteins are Nature's nano-robots. Full Drexler nanotechnology awaits.

FWIW, it can be worth checking beyond whether or not your device is _supported_. I had DD-WRT running on an ASUS RT-AC68U for a while, and ended up switching back to a fork of the official firmware (Asuswrt-Merlin) for better performance once I upgraded to a >100Mbps WAN connection (IIRC it was something to do with hardware-accelerated NAT).

vtune is first class but most people will be using perf on linux or pmcstat on freebsd so you do need to crossreference a doc like this occasionally when you want to probe a new counter to look for bottlenecks.

I see what you mean. I'm still curious why this has to be a law though? Aren't there a bunch of policies in schools that are enforced without the need for law?

I didn't put this in my original comment, but I think what really got under my skin from the article was:

"The minister said the ban was also a “public health message to families”, adding: “It’s good that children are not too often, or even at all, in front of a screen before the age of seven."

Which takes it from "as little difference as possible between schools" to "we have an opinion about how you should raise your kids and we'll use laws to send that 'message'". Yes, there are already plenty of reasonable and good laws place limits and requirements on parents. This just seems way over the line.
