I've recently been fantasizing about something like this, but in laptop form. Have a dedicated console/display node, a few compute nodes, a 'router' node, and a gige (or 10gbe) fabric connecting them.
Fortunately, USD balances on GDAX are FDIC insured for US citizens [0]. I accept that I might not be able to cash out of cryptos in an emergency, due to liquidity or transaction times or something else, but I sure as hell will be able to get out any USD I might have in GDAX, which is a big confidence boost to me. They claim that all crypto deposits are "fully insured" as well, by a "syndicate of insurers through Lloyd's of London".

Cyber Attack Hits Safety System in Critical Infrastructure
The situation's gotten much better since Armbian started building images[1], but it's still running a stranded kernel for now. This is expected[2] to change within the next few months. I've heard on IRC of people successfully running mainline Linux on the A64 SOC, but I don't believe it's recommended.

As far as China single-board computers go, I'm pretty pleased with Pine's build quality and attention to detail with regards to electrical design that's reflected in their schematics. Community-provided Linux support has come a long way in the last year+, it's worth checking out.

Pocket is a useful addition to Firefox. People just got a bee in their bonnet because it was a proprietary service that they didn't ask for. If a similar feature was rolled out that Mozilla developed internally, nobody would've batted an eyelid.

Now that Mozilla owns Pocket, and is open-sourcing the technology behind it, we get the best of all worlds, a useful addition to Firefox that is developed in line with the ethos of Mozilla.

Lastly, the whole Pocket saga was a storm in a teacup. Want to know what most people did when they didn't want to use it? They didn't click on it. If you're offended that a specific logo was present in your browser, I'd suggest you're in a vocal minority.
Comcast opposed NN before. What other evidence do you need? They never hid the fact. They violated it multiple times, from BitTorrent throttling, to data caps, zero rating and interconnection shenanigans, and they clearly benefit from not letting strong NN protections be in place. So when they suddenly come out in support of something they call NN, if you don't see foul play, then you simply didn't pay any attention.
> your Bitcoin will be seized and liquidated like everything else

I suspect there's a difference. Old-style, the Man says to the bank, "Hey, until further notice, acdha's money isn't theirs anymore." The bank says "Yes, sir." Then you try to contest this using a lawyer on contingency or something, I don't know.

New-style, they say to you, "Hand over your private keys, you don't own them anymore." You say, "I'm calling my lawyer." Maybe the process ends in the same place, maybe it doesn't, but if possession is really whatever percentage of the law, outcomes will change on the margin accordingly.

To the extent this helps the likes of Putin, it's bad. (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnitsky_Act)
I'm trying to identify exactly what the borders of "the Delphi" are. UNESCO identifies it as "between two towering rocks of Mt. Parnassus". Liakouras is said to be the highest peak of Parnassus - would the Delphi be between there and the second highest peak?

(author here) This is targeted to the general public, who do actually need Finance 101, because they really don't know what they're getting lured into by the mindlessly positive articles and headlines in the mainstream press. Mostly written by people who don't understand either.

I actually consider it seriously unethical to market cryptos as an investment to retail investors - they just do not understand the insane levels of risk, including the actual exchange as a threat. And yes, I know what Bitcoin's pitch is. I still think it's unethical in practice, and this bubble is going to show why.

Market cap makes more sense for a stock, because it's in the range of the value for a company, and a whole company is something that does get bought and sold. This idea doesn't make any sense for a crypto.
practice is the best way to learning, choose one project you are interested in, dig into it.
if you find something/knowledge you missing, try to google, and some book to read, and then continue to dig, from the framework to design details.
after you feel you understand this project, try to do some changes, and check the result whether it is what you expected, or not.
and then, you already learn a lot.

> But you can transfer bitcoins anywhere in the world without anyone blocking the transfer, and you can carry them in your car in a hardware wallet without fear that a cop will confiscate them.

As soon as they’re converted to/from real money, they fall under the same restrictions as everything else, and most of the places you’d want want to live share restrictions on unregulated financial transactions. Similarly, while there’s egregious abuse of cash seizures it’s not like the cops haven’t heard of other stores of value. If they suspect you’re doing something serious, following the money in is what already leads to headlines about police selling large quantities of Bitcoin — and that hidden hardware wallet is going to be seen as proof that you’re hiding something.

That latter point is the key one: there are a lot of people in jail because they thought they could hide money. I would not bet on having the opsec necessary to remove money from your accounts without leaving a trace, and with Bitcoin any mistake means you’ve left an irrevocable evidence trail behind.
Your premise forgets that the Muni and all other public transit is not funded directly by its citizenry or riders. It's funded thru a mix of fare income, city and state taxes, federal appropriations. This is obviously different from something that is "locally owned and operated" since it is owned, operated, and funded by an organ of the city and/or state government.

Meshnet type stuff is comparable (in terms of the economic system it might "ideally" thrive within) to leftist ones like anarchism. (Any connotations a reader might be applying, like black masks or throwing shit, are simply connotations - I'm not advocating for anything political, either - I'm referring mostly to the anarchist concept of "just building things you want without asking anyone"). But you are missing the point if you are asking "do you really want your internet run by the same people who run the Muni?" without acknowledging the fact that publicly-owned transit authorities in the US are 'extra-ordinary' structures within the free-market capitalism they inhabit, and are therefore limited by it. In other words, there's no reason one couldn't have a great Muni, but you're pretending Muni exists in a vacuum when it doesn't.
Yes, thanks. I didn't mean to imply economic wealth. Because she notes that money isn't an important goal. I'm too ignorant about South India to know what her background might be. Maybe something like academic? Or intellectual?

Sure listening habits are information worth keeping a secret, but that's not the topic discussed here. And all they said is that someone in NoLiTa listened to Christmas tunes in June. That is nothing of value for anyone and Spotify and Netflix did a good job not doing harm to anyone by this campaign. Again the real privacy invaders are somewhere else, sitting there silently collecting your data!
It makes the price stupidly volatile, and the thin per-exchange order books make it much more manipulable.
New style seems more like they hold your devices until someone can crack them and/or keep you in jail without access until you hand over the keys, which a judge agrees to because there’s no other way to freeze your accounts. Meanwhile, the prosecutor is going to use not following existing financial disclosure/access laws as proof that you must be doing something really bad – and since those assets are off limits, you’re relying on an overworked public defender.
funny, i think people swallow a lot of nonsense because it's nicer to believe the world is orderly and under control -- even if the order is bad and the ones in control are malevolent -- rather than a chain reaction of accidents that no one is in control of.
yup, its exactly this. shame on Reuters. that article felt as if it was paid for by big oil.
Are EULA’s still legally binding? I thought there was a recent case against that.
I don't think that plea bargaining is inherently a bad thing, but when there's a massive disparity between the plea-bargained sentence and the normal sentence and especially if the police can start treating suspects like felons even before going to trial (taking kids away, confiscating property, etc.) then there's a large possibility for abuse.

I think a good system would be to offer plea-bargains but only at a set percentage reduction of the original sentence, and only if the suspect isn't under some other form of pressure from the police. That would still encourage people who know the police have a very solid case against them to take the bargain, but not do much to encourage people who think they have a real shot at winning a trial by jury.
Goddamn. I’m no tinfoil type but that is genuinely creepy.
You missed the point of the question. The point is that a human will see a child and a dog playing somewhat close to the road, will see the dog run out, and will infer that the child will dart after it before the child makes a move.

The idea that our government is starving is amusing.
This, please, pretty please.

Not to mention the surveillance chill of "how will watching this flick affect what the recommendation algorithm thinks of me." At least let me turn that shit off.

Maybe that's just context though, on say youtube where you have a billion vids and I'm just watching short music clips or programming vids, sure it may be helpful to show me stuff related to what I just watched. On Netflix just give me a directory and make it easy for me to browse, maybe show me the new releases etc. There's mostly no such things as 'similar' when it comes to feature length movies except for sequels and remakes.

Or I dunno, maybe they really just didn't have a single thing I wanted to watch, which is entirely possible.

That last link seems like cherry-picking. Why a screenshot? Why not a link to the comment on HN? Likely it was flagged and/or downvoted, which is how the community signals that a post is unacceptable. In other words your example, correctly examined, probably indicates the opposite of your claim.

It's impossible to prevent everyone from ever posting awful things to HN in the first place. This is a public, anonymous internet forum. Of course people are going to post such things, and of course it takes time for the community immune system, including downvotes and flags and moderation, to react. But it usually does. You can't judge HN fairly without taking that into account.

I know that people capture these screenshots and pass them around on Twitter and whatnot. I also know that when the original posts eventually get flagged or otherwise dealt with, the people passing the screenshots around never mention that, never update, and most of all never apologize for publicly claiming that HN—and even we personally—endorse the most horrible stuff. That's how political battle works: concede nothing, correct nothing, distort every available data point for maximum effect. It doesn't seem very compatible with intellectual honesty to me, but that is for each person's conscience to decide.
That's what a real estate bubble does
> device $20 device X does $20,000 damage to the hospital down the road

If it were able to do that, then presumably that $20 device had eg a good amount of explosive in it, and therefore would be in no condition to return it to the store.

Unless you're alluding to that $20 device being used as a communications proxy, under a mistaken idea that the Internet has some concept of node trust. In reality, the hospitals $20k "damage" would be due to its own developers' negligence and demands for compensation should be placed squarely at the door of its suppliers and integrators.
What the article dances around is the Efficient Market Hypothesis, which, in short, claims that there is one true price for every financial asset. No market is truly efficient, but some are more efficient than others. Low spreads and lack of arbitrage opportunities (the ability to buy an asset on one exchange and immediately sell it on another for a profit) are signs of a more efficient market.

Bitcoin, clearly, is far from an efficient market. Everybody knows that. A lot of people are profiting from that, although there is a significant risk involved from the shoddy state of most exchanges.

As a nitpick, smart order routing is not something stock and futures exchanges give you, it's a layer you can buy or build on top of the available exchanges.
(author here) I originally submitted this with just the second part of the title, 'cos Part 1 doesn't deliver on "why you can't cash out". I expect two or three more parts, that answer the question: KYC/AML, oddly-convenient ineptitude, and hoo boy Tethers.

A millionaire is hardly wealthy these days. Upper middle class rich, sure. But not "an estate to leave to my heirs" rich.

Someone who got a good middle class start, went into the right career, and had everything work out pretty well (no major financial misfortune or an injury or sick family member) while saving responsibly, can become a millionaire in a few decades today. They can probably afford a nice house, which their kids can carve up to have their own nice middle class start.

This group of people is still insanely privileged but it is nothing on the obnoxious levels of real inherited wealth in the upper crust.
But at the end of the day, how is it different from the current equities market? (aside from immature tools and imperfect infrastructure that is just shaping up). Stock market can tank 50% like it did in 2009 (together with the real estate market) and your average investor will be screwed just the same. Even tech and fundamental analysis gurus cannot explain the endless bull market we're on, how is getting lured into stock market with positive press today is any different than BTC? Currently both are different forms of gambling imho.

Again, my point isn’t that the state of executive powers is great but rather that magical thinking about technology won’t solve them.

Moving real money into Bitcoin will leave a paper trail, as does moving it out. If you don’t disclose that or surrender control when required by law, they’re not going to just give up — that’s more like jail time until you cooperate (money laundering is an obvious lever), and most other countries will go along with that. Similarly, companies which are trying to be legit aren’t going to touch tainted bitcoins since they don’t want to be pulled in as accomplices.

Used to set off car alarms all the time when I had ‘quite hotted up’ Type R Integra years ago, never house alarms though I think.

I’m willing to be the guy/gal next door has those broken window alarm strips installed, one part of the strip is loose and when the cars RPM drops as the clutch is let out while in reverse it slightly vibrates the window causing the contact to short (or break) and thus the house alarm goes off.

Good fun :)

There is only one word suitable for describing bitcoin: scam

The vested interest has been very successful in obscuring this basic fact, usually by conflating it with a bunch of other unrelated matters (decentralized infrastructure, fee-less money transfer, easy international trade...etc)

I penned a tongue-in-cheek layman description of bitcoin that alludes to the basic scaminess of it:

I've worked on a couple of projects that only had a few bits of free ROM left. Not really all that surprising, you stop optimizing for space once it fits.

One of the projects was heavily squeezed to make it fit, the other didn't need much squeezing, but you couldn't tell the difference by looking at the free space.

Main difference between digital platforms and government owned utilities it that utilities require access to land. No one is stopping you from rolling out your own digital platform, while there is no practical way to get any land to lay your own gas pipeline. Therefore the answer to your question is "no, Google search cannot be considered public infrastructure, and one for the reasons is that it does not require any public land to operate".

Using the rhetoric of the parent, in case that wasn't clear.
I lived in an apartment in Fl and during the month of August and into September, every afternoon my cable would cut out for several hours. Happened every year for the three years I was there and only during that part of the year. Could never get Comcast to get a tech out there during the correct time frame, but they had a box mounted on one wall and that time of year it got direct sunlight and I suspect heat was to blame.

My house has 6 fire alarms, when they beep there is NO way to tell which one it is making the noise 2/2 the combination of short beep and irregular beeping interval.

I wish there was some visual indicator to tell which one was faulty.

The biggest impediment to a politician who in good-will wants to implement actually crucial policies is public opinion.

The problem is so bad that politicians don't actually talk about the hard work -- hours of reunions, negotiations, high-stake talks, etc --, because being honest and open has a detrimental effect on achieving their goals. Lies or half-lies are more effective, even when they are honestly doing what's best for us, because it's easier to accept an uncomplicated lie or half-lie than a complicated truth.

The problem, I guess, is that we have a representational democracy but representational democracies have operational flaws and that the will of the people sometimes leads to a mass grave for them. Sometimes our representatives are better educated and positioned to call the shots, but are held back by misconceived public opinion -- aggravated by the fact that the truth is never actually told by any side and debates are over who can "sell" the most convincing story based on "established" lies and half-lies.

It's a delicate balance of power. In a way, it is justifiable for the government (a faceless system where the responsibility is diffused to so many people that no one is almost ever truly individually responsible) to want to manipulate public opinion (or influence public opinion, in politically correct terms). In another, it is tipping the balance of power to the already powerful and this can cause problems.
