The graffiti community is very diverse and organic, lacking formal definitions or standards- ha! Also, things from the inside can/are perceived differently than from the outside. I have friends that make a distinction, broadly, between graffiti writers and graffiti artists. The ones I call orthodox think it’s only graffiti if you do it on a train, everything else is “street art”- and that being a derogatory term. Train, as a medium, is accepted to be pretty ephemeral. Then you have the bomber mindset, which focuses on difficulty of placement and quantity, also understood to be ephemeral. Then there’s walls and graffiti artists, which do legal walls more often and do expect more permanent installations... the only spot where I’ve seen different kind of writers converge were Walls of Fame, which always felt more organized and with more explicit rules around them and more permanent. 5pointz was both a legal wall and a sorts of Wall of Fame, known to the graffiti community- at large- around the world.

Regarding 5pointz, the only part that I find interesting is the debate around the owner benefiting from tax breaks.

As I understand the situation; the owner was claiming the building was art to get tax cuts, then decided to sell and argued the building was not art. I feel graffiti is irrelevant here.
I think Apple understands that, too. They just have a different core business (or at least, they think they have. That’s where I think they may be mistaken. AI is where the puck will be). They design their own hardware, including CPUs and have extensive partnerships with chip producers (paying them to build factories, for example).

For maps, they are rumored to have cars driving around to collect data, but they clearly aren’t there yet, and even if they are investing heavily, may never catch up with Google.

"- No way to add a stop"

You can add a stop, but it's limited to gas stations, coffee shops and restaurants. Why? I don't know.
It would probably be way more absurd like an infomercial version of The Matrix; Whole generations of humans born for the sole purpose of watching ads, all organized and kept in check by a "benevolent" AI which constantly creates new ads, for no particular purpose.

Beginner's Guide to Microservices with .NET Core, Docker and Visual Studio Code
The "for free" offer was temporary, and has expired. That is what matters.

It even worked on pirated versions. You could even upgrade say your Windows XP to a later version (pirated or not) and then upgrade to Windows 10, for free. You get a valid license that way.

You paid 2-fold: one, you were an early adopter and therefore beta tester. Two, you paid with your privacy. The anti-spyware toolkits to remove the telemetry and other stuff weren't sophisticated. Plus, Microsoft went out of their way to sabotage these.

Linux also requires reboots because of kernel upgrades. Microsoft maybe does it more, but its also due to bad programmed 3rd party apps.

Windows has its own package manager these days. Apple's App Store and Microsoft's Windows Store are nothing more than a GUI for a package manager with some Web 2.0 (or 3.0) capabilities.

Your disadvantages are fair enough, but they can all be circumvented with say O&O ShutUp or one of the many other applications which remove the spyware/bloatware/adware.

What I f* ing hate about Windows is the lack of shell scripts and the need for Powershell and CMD.exe/*.bat. I don't want to use or (re)learn that shit. Microsoft could've adopted Bash but they went with Powershell instead. Windows Subsystem for Linux is decent, as was Cygwin, but it just isn't the same as native. The same's true for WINE. So I still prefer macOS; seems to be the best of both worlds. Although terrible for gaming. You want a gaming rig for that. Which could very well run on Linux, these days, given Steam's adoption plus WINE.

Good summary though. Could use some nuances (which I did mention) but we gotta start somewhere.
Ah, fat finger mistake.

Glad you like Geoff - he's a legend in permy circles, and for good reason. Check David Holmgren, Bill Mollison (the two co-founders of permaculture)... and you'll doubtless find lots of other people's work to investigate from there.

Permaculture pushes the idea of building systems that don't need a constant input of external resources... more difficult to design, but maintenance is naturally cheaper / easier, and more resilient.

JP Sears on Bitcoin (criticism of BT fundamentals via sarcasm)
I'm also struggling to understand this, but I guess the only way I can is by thinking of this as a CEO who decided to take a $1 salary + decided not to take any stock awards, but still wants to work at their company because they truly believe in the products they build, without any cash. The difference though from CEOs like Steve Jobs of course is the lack of equity. In this case it's like the founder of Litecoin is saying "I want Litecoin to evolve in a decentralized and organic way. It is meant to evolve without a singular influence, including myself".

Cryptocurrencies are (supposed to be) decentralized so having a large stake/hash power/etc. probably goes against that philosophy.

I've been thinking about BSFL for aquaponics and there is one problem: warm blooded animal feces should never get into the water. If it could then you wouldn't need fish btw.
I don't know how many E. coli bacteria would survive the BSFLs. I guess this could work for your home, but I would not risk that. Of course you can test the water, but no one did that yet as far as I know.

If he believes that Litecoin is the future of money and not a wealth accumulator then it may make sense.

He wants LTC to serve as digital cash and change how everyone pays everyone. You can believe that without believing that LTC will increase in value.

It’s a bit different than stock as stock is equity in a firm. As a currency, you don’t want volatility and increases in value. You want stability and durability.
I guess this guy believes it is a bubble and this is his cover for getting out while the price is high.

there is a lot of missinformation going around in the crypto-currency world. i think that after this privacy claim was debunked it morphed into the idea, that lightning was mathematically impossible. somewhere along the line TSP was added to the explanation. 0wing says TCP is "unsolvable NP-hard" which doesnt make much sense. well, its hard to understand the path of rumors. lightning might yield a constant factor scaling improvement with worse security and worse convenience, but it can work.
I never said it couldn't be :). But with bitcoin's significant transaction fees, it's much less useful as a medium of transaction (for small value transactions).

Remember just a year or two ago when it was cool to buy your coffee at a shop that took bitcoin? You wouldn't do that now, since your coffee would cost the equivalent of $20 ($4 for the coffee, $16 for the transaction fee).

It's also painful to realize how much bitcoin some of us have spent on little things in the past. I've had some coffees that are now worth $300 a cup had I treated the btc as value store rather than currency ;).
I'm not arguing against backwards-compatibility; but pointing out the technique in the article has been around for a while since it was first written 7 years ago.
Are you sure about your noncompliance status?

IANAL, but aren't there treaties between the US and all EU countries that avoid any double taxation? You have to pay income tax wherever you live most of the time and conduct your business. You never have to pay income tax twice, in two countries. Unless you obtain your income mainly in the US, you should be exempt from paying US taxes. This is independent of citizenship.

Sorry if I'm missing something, I thought (and have been told) that this is how it works, so I'd be happy if someone else with more knowledge could clarify this.
Not all cryptocurrencies use a proof-of-work to validate blocks. So even if someone wanted to make the stretch and say a PoW is an illegal lottery that doesn’t mean every cryptocurrency is.
The web throws a monkey wrench into a lot of assumptions the free software model seems to make about what software is - obviously you can't download the source of an entire server stack and compile it, much less rewrite and redistribute it, but that would seem to be what would be required for the web to be 'free.'

Ok, technically you could but that would be insane. Even if you consider how much FOSS exists on servers, it's impossible to ever be certain what is running the logic of a site unless you can run it locally, which defeats the whole point of the web.

But arguments that javascript in particular is hostile to user freedom seem a bit overstated... and even Stallman doesn't suggest the answer is getting rid of it altogether. Although he does seem to believe that only running free javascript somehow makes it safe to run... which isn't true.
I'm not sure I understand why one would expect that any language that is meant to be created in physical space should aim for the most minimal syntax.

Regular folks who don't program in their daily life connect best with things they can read: presenting them with lisp is a bit like presenting them with mathmatical notation: even if those that are marginally familiar with them will say it's simple, it's exactly too difficult to be accessible for people who have _no_ familiarity with them at all. You actually want that verbosity of added syntax, because it lets people recognize something in what is inherently alien to them.

The problem in your logic is that different industries have different regulation, like food industry has different rules then electronics, this regulation were created probably after bad things happen. As a user of Uber or classic taxi you should have same protections. Try imagine Uber for food, you put in an app what food you want to eat and some random person will bring you the food he cocked, the person is not qualified, the startup did not made enough background checks, maybe he cokes in a place with rats, if you get sick you can 1 star the person. My point is that analogies do not work that well when you change industry,

I have no idea why you would need to leave your country in a world where we're back to thin clients and remote processing. Pretty sure the most obvious place for that processing to take place is at what used to be ISPs and have in this hypothetical future become Interactive Service Providers rather than "internet" service providers, with low latency, high bandwidth hubs in or near your city (and more likely, multiple hubs per city).
They were VT320s with beautiful amber color! A few years prior to that I hang out there as well. I remember a bunch of (older) students were taking precious time on one of the Suns (Jagor) and all I wanted to do was to run rendering algorithms I wrote in C on it (I was a highschool kid). So, I devised a devious scheme. I wrote a C program that malloced memory like there's no tomorrow. I figured out that SunOS didn't have a memory quota for users. What happened then was that I got a PID for my program and waited patiently until the whole OS crawled to a halt (usually fast enough it started trashing the hard drives due to lack of memory). Students, out of frustration, would leave the terminals one by one as their IRC sessions and whatnots would stop working. It was a rule to never leave your terminal without logging out, so I had a clean system. Once they all left for a break, I killed my PID, got back the memory and resumed my snowflake rend.. er, work. Fun times!
Ah so you'd force some one to go to court - what happens when they kill themselves feel good about that would you
?
This is opening can of worms.

When we factor in things like support, we have to consider not only cost, but also metrics like its quality and performance/price. If I had a dollar for every support ticket that got ignored for months or years... For community support, that can be fine, but when you are paying maintenance, that's unforgivable.
I don't understand. By that logic, would not announcement with the date manipulate the market? Future known events are priced in in the market..

If the announcement came today instead same thing might have happened with prices.
It's a better version which has discoverable, current API apps, that don't kill your battery and all update at the same time thanks to an app store.
You're missing the point, I'd guess on purpose.

We, humans, currently spend the resources on those things through the medium of fiat currency. Remove the necessity for profit, the need to pay a lot of people in that system incredibly more than they require - take a couple of dozen 8-figure mansions, a few 9-figure yachts, several hundred 6-figure cars, gold-plated taps, diamond-encrusted tiaras, etc., etc., and the resources targeted at the problem of producing maps go much further. And there's no reason not to have a competitive element, you don't need profit to create competition.

It's not spending people's retirement, it's spending the same resources we spend now, just not mediated in the same manner and without the waste of 40% spend on advertising (plucked that number out my ass but a few years ago pharma was spending more on advertising than on R&D) and without allowing controlling elements to steal all the output for personal gain.

So, I'd like to spend the equivalent resources we do now, but with saving on profit, over-paying wages, and de-duplication of effort. That gives much more resources applied to the actual task without touching pensions (which of course I'd like to see have the same effect).

The problem, is that moving to such an economic system requires the most greedy, most powerful, to be usurped. Humans are greedy (myself included), that leads us to waste so, so, much of our resources.

Why do you think a system where people choose the collective good (having all their needs met) - "volunteering" - rather than personal financial gain can't produce satellites, or any other good/technology we now produce?

Do you include their cloud platform in that? GAE, GCE, GKE etc?

They don't really exist to show more ads, and they're becoming a larger part of their profit every year.

What about their open source stuff? Kubernetes, Go etc?

I'll readily admit that advertising is still their primary source of revenue, but painting Google as a purely advertising company is getting less accurate every year
Android apps get tagged with two API levels. minSdkVersion is a way for the developer to say "my app requires this version of Android or higher". targetSdkVersion lets them say "opt me in to breaking changes you've made to the APIs on newer OS versions, because I've built and tested it to handle that".

So with this change, a developer can still release a brand new app that runs on Android phones which are 5 years old if they want. They just have to make sure that app is aware of how the newer releases work too.
Why would I use something the main developer himself doesn't use?

There’s a threshold where the service fundamentally changes.

Phoning a cab here is looking for the local cab company number, getting shitty call quality, argue with an operator where you are, wait who knows how long for a cab you don’t how it looks like, explain the driver where you’re supposed to go, do the “fucking let me pay by card” dance.

Even trying one of the national cab company’s app only reduced that shittiness by half. It can be the same drivers at the wheel, the delivered service difference is still night and day.

> But you are the one coming up with this idea that it should be discussed with one gender or the other.

To be clear: I'm asking you why you're not recommending this be discussed with sons first. I thought it was weird you mentioned educating daughter and didn't mention sons.

> The idea that it should be all on men to make sure sex goes well is rooted in current concepts of gender and heterosexual norms that actively train girls to be reactive, not proactive. It is rooted in a patriarchal framing of the world. This framing is inherently incompatible with female empowerment.

OK, I see. Though I think that you can encourage women to be sexual empowered & and men to avoid sexual assault.

> The other thing is that putting it on men amounts to assuming guilt

I don't understand this in the slightest. It sounds 100% like victim blaming.

> What if we treat both men and women like people who likely need to politely negotiate a mutually acceptable arrangement to get their needs met?

What if I have some advantage over you? Physical, economic, a weapon? There can't be a fair agreement if one side can threaten the other, even if that side is unaware of their advantage.
Coinbase to investigate insider trading claims after launch of Bitcoin cash
They're common on slightly older bike paths that go on both sides of a main road, for example on Gedempte Oude Gracht in Haarlem: https://goo.gl/maps/ockjefMmUqx.

It's actually super annoying, and I don't think I've seen a road done like this in last 2-3 years.

Edit: but yeah, that is _slightly different_.
No, Windows 10 is still not a UNIX or even a remotely UNIX-like operating system. I need UNIX tools and a proper command-line for software development.

At the moment, macOS still is the only operating system that provides that alongside with a consistent, usable UI and an overall decent user experience.
From the article [1] linked in the post:

"CDE has achieved something that no other desktop environment has ever given me: a complete and total dedication to expected behaviour - or, put differently, a complete absence of unexpected behaviour."

"Another important aspect of CDE is the magical word "consistency". CDE is highly consistent (as long as you avoid the slow Java-based applications Sun ships with Solaris 9); it uses only only one theme with only a few colours (grey, greyer, and 'Solaris purple'), and buttons are re-used in different places only there where they do exactly the same thing. The dash and dot buttons on the dock do exactly the same thing to the dock as they do to windows (yes, you can actually iconify the dock). This consistency also stems from the fact that CDE is so spartan: it has few GUI elements that could actually be inconsistent."

I think when CDE would have been open-source, there might not have been KDE or Gnome (which was developped, because of QT's license at the time of the KDE inception. At this time there was a need to have a desktop environment for Linux - and the existing Unix desktop environment, CDE was proprietary.

Uber does more than make their drivers accountable. Just a few under-5-star ratings can really hurt their career. It's heavily weighted in favor of the passenger, which you might like, but is unfair to the drivers.
Post like that brings me back to earth every time I dream of running Linux only. I commend the work of everyone involved, people working for free on their spare time for the common benefit is great. But celebrating CS5 compatibility in late 2017… it's sobering.
