You actually hit the nail on the head but come away with a different conclusion than me...

People do discuss Bitcoin differently depending on whether they have bought in or not. But the dangerous effect is the opposite of what you aluded to. People attached to bitcoin who have money on the line engage in acrobatic brain gymnastics to find ways to rationalize the value of it because they desperately want their gains to be real. At the moment they simply aren‘t. Bitcoin has failed it‘s initial mission, it‘s impractical and people just speculate that somehow things might change in the future. It‘s just a mind game right now. So your mid-ground would require me to accept that there is some value in the speculation regarding bitcoin which is a tough sell. It‘s mostly greed and people will be hurt by it at some point. Let‘s stop before it gets to messy!
Funny how "regulate blockchain now!" is trending after BTC loses 1/5th of its value in less than a week.

Oh, how quickly the private market looks to the wider community to externalize its losses.
Can’t help they missed a trick by not including Thunderbolt 3/USB-C ports on this (plus a few regular USB 3 ports). Seems like a strange omission, and would have smashed the MBP... as long as you can get past not having MacOS.
pCloud, 2TB + encryption for 250$ for a lifetime now at Christmas, hard to beat considering their speeds (200Mbit).

The only caveat is that sending many small files is slower than large (50Mbit).
It would be helpful if people could stop using the flu - or, outside the anglosphere, influenza - as a blanket descriptor for the common cold and all sorts of minor malaise.

Influenza is serious and relatively rare. Not something you get several times a year, one or two days at a time.

Well, I'm working 9 hours per day + 3 hours commute both ways. And having a young kid means there's no time to escape the grind afterwards, if I don't work with the kid on evenings and weekends, my wife surely does a great job of bashing and making me feel guilty. And obviously, I'm making just enough money to pay the cost of living until next paycheck. And barely enough rest to be able to work tomorrow again, because living it ain't.

It would be interesting to hear the rationale behind using this over something like RabbitMQ, which has its own storage layer, as well as the queue aspect.

Is it widespread issue with other phones? I have a suspicion that either they have faulty batteries or they just got bitten by their tiny batteries. I think that battery should have some real life time (not one year, at least 3 years, preferably 5 years) and should be able to provide all the energy phone needed for functioning. Sure, capacity might be reduced, it's understandable, but that's all.
It's just code with basic function entry point. You may get your parameters and configuration in a different way, but not much else changes. There are only so many ways to call some code.

Ok, so apparently there is a security exception: "localhost" is blocked but "127.0.0.1" is treated as a secure origin [1] - but only if you cantact it via http, not via websocket. (though they might allow websocket in the future too) [2]

(A related chrome bug even specifically mentions the "people installing local root certs" workaround as a reason they are doing this. [3])

This still seems like an enormous mess but it's good to see the use-case is acknowledged and someone at Mozilla cares about it.

So I guess Blizzard could have avoided the whole scare if they had just used "127.0.0.1" instead of "localbattle.net"

Mid six figures? $500,000? If that's what's easy, what are they paying above-average people?

I can't help but agree with this. People can only mine so many coins. Users will prefer blockchains which have lower fees and transaction times, so miners will give priority to those coins. At some point the selling point of Bitcoin will become less and less true. I have rewatched several promotional videos for Bitcoin pre-2015, and most of their claims are false as of late 2017.
I see. So, the thrust of your complaint is not that moderation is too lax, but that it is capricious and arbitratry? I could definitely see consistent moderation being a weakness for Facebook.
It's not just that, in fact the reason for limiting to 80 is mostly because short lines help readability because of how human eyes operate. Eyes prefer to stay within a small circular region located in the center of the visual field. Too much vertical or horizontal movement makes it harder to see, but vertical movement isn't an issue in text because of scroll, but horizontal movement is a problem.
No other platform has policies like this and it greatly impacts the web platform and changes the dynamic of web standards in a way no other browser developer could.

Wow, that's quite a stretch. I monitor web standards pretty closely and I haven't found this to be the case.

I have seen many threads on Github and mailing lists with Google, Apple, Mozilla and Microsoft actually communicating with each other on how to implement web standards in a cross-browser way.

Here's a good example: https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/pull/1817

Well, Geforce GPUs are advertised more heavily for graphics than computing. If I were nVidia I'd try to argue that CUDA and other GPU computing libraries are separate products not purchased with this line of GPUs.
I disagree. The IE6 of today is IE11, not Safari. Just look caniuse.come for practically any modern feature. It either requires you to pollute your code base with polyfills or doesn't work at all. Every day bring another fun barrier. Today it was Promises (https://caniuse.com/#search=promise), tomorrow, I am sure, it'll be something else.
I don't think that really makes sense in that context. The current situation is that you can happily access localhost from unencrypted sites - even though those sites are more likely to contain malicious code.

Additionally, localhost services are treated as a separate origin, so if a service is non-cooperating, you can only send fire-and-forget GETs which reduces the attack surface considerably.
Yeah i have that port installed. Getting the python bindings seems impossible.

Also. That port is quite the hack. :(

>>> Nonunique Leray solutions would mean that, according to the rules of Navier-Stokes, the exact same fluid from the exact same starting conditions could end up in two distinct physical states, which makes no physical sense and implies that the equations aren’t really describing what they’re supposed to describe.

This basically say that from one given starting conditions one only expect one (and only one) outcome. Doesn't this conflate a model with the actual physical reality ?
Yeah, strange for an expensive premium laptop to not have Thunderbolt or USB-C gen 2. It has just one USB-C gen 1 and two USB 3.0. Yet, it's much more expensive than similar spec machines (Dell XPS, HP Spectre x360, Lenovo Yoga), but without the necessary ports. I'm guessing Microsoft is targeting a different (creative market) audience.
I watched this video before. He is very annoying but I am mostly agreeing with him.
You're jumping the gun and assuming it's artificial.

You may have a case for intelligent, but you haven't established that it's artificial, so you can't claim it's a project, either.
Maybe just put the scanned pdfs into a hierarchical folder system, then keep a text file at the root with comma or tab-separated location, ISO date and keywords.

Then your documents are a grep away. Maybe awk to find documents from a date range?

The title fits perfectly the description of ZeroMQ[1]. Except that I actually trust ZMQ to deliver on the promise.

Why? Half the country votes Republican.
Except in rehearsal the conductor has imposed his vision of how things will flow in later performances. Different versions of the same piece from different conductors can sound extremely different, although the sheet music is the same - different tempos, different changes in tempo, different dynamics, phrasing, relative volume of instruments, timbre (quality of sound), different lengths of notes and accents and attack on notes, etc etc, and each composer has their own idiosyncratic ideas and preferences, both about what the composer wanted and what they want the piece to sound like. Sometimes different numbers of players are used. Also the particular way the conductor speaks to the orchestra about the music and the players, and other things, what they say and how they say it, can have a huge effect.

"To influence things a bit" is nothing like it. A performance may give that impression, but the nature of the performance in all those details and more has been thought out by the conductor and rehearsed beforehand. The orchestra has been taught and trained in exactly how the conductor likes it, and that's what you hear.

Eventually software people will work out what fiat money is - a way for a state to obtain service.

Since you need the states money to pay taxes and you need to obtain it or be jailed then there will always be exchanges. So you just regulate on the state money side of the fence and ban all exchange transactions into the states money that cannot prove their source.

Once enough people have been burned in the Wild West the fad will fade to an eclectic elite. Just like buying fine art.

And the stuff that's useful - like decoupling your account from the transaction provider - will be adopted by state currencies.

Resources on how to write a UEFI application from scratch?
I'm interested in building a toy OS, and the modern way of building one seems to be using UEFI. There are a few tutorials for writing a simple UEFI OS, but most of them use either GNU-EFI or EDK2, and I'd like to build one from scratch using only a C compiler, assembler, and linker. I tried getting clang to produce a PE32+ executable (I'm on Linux), but was unsuccessful. Any tutorials or places to find good documentation on this? (wiki.osdev.org has much more about legacy boot than UEFI)

I'm not sure what you're getting at. Classically we expect that given the same initial conditions, the outcome of a fluids experiment should always be the same. If an equation meant to describe fluid flows doesn't have this property, it is probably a bad model.

I've often found that having all the code that's doing one thing in the same place is better than splitting it up into a bunch of functions just to keep rowcount low. It makes it easier to step through and reason about what is going on if all the steps of a logical sequence are actually laid out in a sequence (instead of intermittently jumping to other files). Whenever I find a function that I discover is only called in one place I just inline it, and in my opinion that improves the code every time. Abstraction is important, but understandability is more important.

Does anyone know any similar free/open products for archiving documents, tracking etc.?

What I am after is a system like expensive solutions have in some companies where the mailbox department prints (or has preprinted) labels with unique bar codes, for any incoming mail, they open it, stick a label on it, scan it with the label on it and then physically deliver it. Some departments also input recipient and sender details, add tags etc. So in the end they have a searchable database by persons involved, content type, tags and also all documents (physical and digital) have a referenceable id that can be used for various purposes.

Even if others don't discover and adopt your ideas - there is a limited market size for most investment strategies.

If you are good at picking winners for some specific type of startups, but there are only 10 of them per year, then you can't grow your fund from 10 to 100 investments per year and keep the same returns.

If you discover a clever arbitrage opportunity or market inefficiency, but there is only 1M of trades happening in that market, then you can't dump 100M into the strategy and keep the same returns.

> b) explanation but might be too quick/bad/hard to understand

I think this assumption may be underestimating your reader

> Perhaps what I'm missing is that all those interested in my article actually already have this "feeling of how things work" and are looking for a long, thorough explanation about it?

This is possible, I guess, but my intuition tells me I'd feel the same is I were coming from "I know JS & React Native basics but haven't explored Native APIs and the bridge in detail yet". But I could be wrong.

> I've always loved analogies

I use analogies a lot, and find them incredibly valuable for explaining complex concepts from one domain, to someone unfamiliar with that domain, in an reduced and simplified way.

What you're doing here is trying to explain a new concept (a) in the domain the reader is already familiar with and (b) to expand, not reduce, the detail understanding of said concept.

(a) seems to make analogies unnecessary but (b) also seems to make analogies unsuitable (requiring you to draw second or third corrallories from them - as the gp said, bringing the reader further and further from the original concept).
The main difference is that networks are inherently unreliable. Threaded or multi-processed applications can also be unreliable but for different reasons.

The goal should be to inform the caller of the types of errors that may pop up. Obviously, with network or RPC calls, the caller should handle the case where the network is down. With threaded apps, the potential errors are more subtle, but the caller should definitely be aware that it's not a synchronous call. The function header you proposed is a bit clumsy due to the c semantics, but gets the general point across well enough.
Chrome as the sole advertisement on the most valuable piece of web real estate in the universe might have been a factor too.

> I think you should give the cryptoscene another chance and do some research on what's going on. Saying that all this work, money and effort is something that will only benefits scammers is a bit unfair.

I suppose the issue is that I don't really see anything wrong with our existing currencies but there are hurdles and issues to using cryptocurrencies (I can't actually use it to buy many things and its value fluctuates too much for my stomach to handle).
