The public transport in Berlin (I've been in Mitte only though) is amazing compared to Amsterdam. Far easier to get around to the locations, clean communication (simple German), and you don't need a stupid RFID/NFC card. Only thing I disliked was the heroin junkies at some places.

And, well the traffic lights for pedestrians go from green to red like poof while in The Netherlands they will blink green before going to red. Germany should adopt that system from us, it informs pedestrians about their situation.
if you improved the efficiency of a hpc shot by 30% I am sure people would sit up and take notice :-)
The average transaction fee was more than $40 today¹.
I think a transaction fee of more than $1000 could be a problem.

I also believe that the bitcoin core developers have painted themselves into a corner where (urgently necessary) hard forks are super hard. Every hard fork by them will have a huge risk of a group of people staying on the old branch and calling themselves "the true bitcoin" and the forked instance a "shitcoin" or "altcoin" or "not the real bitcoin".

Thus, unable to change and adapt, bitcoin is likely to stagnate and eventually die.

This is what is simple: people who have demonstrated a willingness to act in a deceitful or otherwise destructive way cannot be trusted, at least until they have demonstrated rehabilitation. Community does not complicate this simple fact.

Problem with these sorts of discussions is that they torture the meaning of the word “community.” Most of these aren’t.

Rephrase as: when should your public reputation among one set of people affect your public reputation among another set of people? When should that latter effect result in consequences?

And then the answer is obvious: whenever the latter set of people find your public behavior to be unwelcome, regardless of which context you chose to unveil it in.
Remember that you are not there to make decisions, you are there to help qualified people make decisions in good time by presenting them with the information they need, when they need it. Don't overload them with data irrelevant to the immediate task.

Risk management should also be a major focus. Always ask what could go wrong. I recently read an interesting proposition - in the project initiation stage outline the goal and state that the project has failed. Then ask for reasons why this could have happened. This will help the team identify assumptions, constraints and risks to be avoided or mitigated. It also focuses the team on risk management from the very start.

Herding Cats has put together a good outline of the subject:

Boundaries are imho critical to give structure to society. The advances in technology and more so the pervasiveness and persistence of communication is eroding the previous boundaries between groups, places and time.

Past transgressions now have an impact today often way beyond the statues of limitation. In most of these discussions the reason these statues exist are ignored. Discussions in one place affect another place. Behavior that is questionable in a classroom becomes national news. Postings in a closed online forum of sexual nature affects standing in an online collaboration community working on software.

When boundaries are torn down cultures clash. Some of it may be healthy. But without boundaries would there be culture?

You don't have to be part of the crypto-zoo. You can just stand on the side observing and shaking your head.

Disclaimer: I personally don't gamble/speculate and therefore don't have any crypto currencies in my possession. (this argument is usually used by IOTA fanboys to discredit critics of their currency/ICO)
The problem with those initiatives it's lack of validation. It sometimes happens that other people follow the crowd on accusations. These effects should be tested and measured before implementing what is essentially public shaming.
I been thinking about switching to or atleast try pass (the unix password manager). I find it a bit strange that I never see anyone atleast mentioning it in these kinds of threads.

I mean it is very basic and simple but that is kinda what made me want to try it. Pure files, no platform fuckery, no application lock-in. The simpleness has been something I've been searching for lately.

It might be that it is to simple and that makes it too fiddly to work with effectively but I figured I might atleast try it.

For hosting I haven't decided yet but that is kinda the beautiful part of it - it is just files - I can host them almost anywhere.
This is precrime. And how do you rehabilitate them without giving them the opportunity to participate in the community? Deal with problems when they occur.
I would argue the biggest strength is maintainability. Managing and keeping up a distributed cluster with k8s is WORK. If you are not at the scale where you can dedicate full-time staff to managing only k8s, you shouldn't even be touching k8s. You need full-time staff to keep it alive.

Nomad is operationally simple, you can run it out of your normal devops roles, you don't need dedicated staff. Mostly because you can pretty easily wrap your head around what it does and how it works.

This saves you bundles of cash and time.
We do have a general and convincing model of how motion should work - we have video examples of "proper" motion, so we can optimize models with the explicit goal of creating motion that's indistinguishable from real motion with e.g. generative adversarial neural network models.

Things like https://grail.cs.washington.edu/projects/AudioToObama/ are just the start, we can generate facial expressions from scratch with some quality today, and we can work to make those generated expressions better and more realistic in future.

Before I had kids, I would have said lots of “wild crazy" things. Since having kids, I would do the same as you.

It's amazing how that changes your perspective. And those without kids will never understand this feeling. (I'm not saying it's a better feeling just totally different).
“The private is political” comes to mind...

It used to be that you interacted almost exclusively face-to-face, within a small community. One of the better consequences was a sort of instant feedback loop, where your actions that hurt others were quickly reflected back onto you: abandoned your ailing grandmother? The local grocer will stop giving you credit.

These were social feedback mechanisms. They have the benefit of being much more subtle than the criminal justice system, and kicking in much earlier.

It’s ridiculous how some in the tech community pretend these mechanisms don’t exist, or that they should not exist: every time you have decided who to invite to your birthday party, or who to sit with at lunch, you have taken such considerations into account.

People are social animals. They use social cues to reward beneficial actions, and punish even slight misdeeds. This is necessary to establish standards of behavior, or basic human decency.

There should be limits to this process, the most important of which is time. No one should be forced to reveal to his neighbors that he is a “sex offender”, ten years after drunkenly taking a piss in a public park. Nor should your teenage shenanigans be the top hit in google for eternity.

But standing a front of a synagogue on a Saturday, with a torch, a gun, a swastika flag? Yeah, you better believe your friends and coworkers will look funny at you come Monday.
Software development projects are somewhat different in that they frequently include a large number of people from very disparate cultural backgrounds and little in-person social contact. The lack of the sort of social cohesion that we see in more traditional social groups is part of the reason that open source projects are increasingly adopting explicit behavioural guidelines, but the risk there becomes that those guidelines are considered the totality of what should be taken into account when determining whether someone does more harm than good within a community. Coming up with a more formalised set of considerations for external behaviour would help there.
To be fair, maybe they aren't deliberately discriminating. Advertisement isn't free, so with a limited budget you will want to optimise your ads for conversion. That's marketing 101. Maybe they think (or even have evidence to support) that a specific demography has a higher conversion rate. For example, the reasoning might be that there are more programmers amongst younger people. It would then be inefficient to advertise to other groups.

Sure, there is a grey area here, but the intent might not be as malevolent as implied.
Looks like replacing the money isn't the issue, it's whether or not D-Cal have screwed over the agency. Over half of the KS pledges were made fraudulently by D-Cal themselves, meaning the money doesn't actually exist and their campaign was a failure. This puts the agency on the hook for any and all refunds if the people who actually put their money into pledges ask for a refund (the agency account is tied to the campaign now). D-Cal have apparently not come up with a proper solution to repay the money if this happens, so Woodshed are not happy about releasing the funds until this is resolved (on their accountants advice). I'd suggest that all D-Cal have to do is finish setting up an account that can be used on KS and the account could be switched and funds deposited. Either that or put enough cash to cover the agencies costs into some sort of escrow.

The market cap is merely a metric that you get by multiplying the circulating supply by the price last paid for a single unit.

It's the same as with stock.

If people today pay $1000 more per bitcoin than yesterday, it doesn't change the circulating supply.

How Online Greeting Card Designing Helps Print Businesses to Boom This Christmas
If a bridge falls down and people die, the suits go to prison for criminal negligence for not hiring experienced people and giving them the power in the organization to set the schedules. If a system that involves software fails and people die, the courts throw up their hands and say 'nobody knows how computers work, and there are no standards we could claim they violated or ignored' and the company usually doesn't even take much of a PR hit. It should be obvious to everyone that this situation will not stand forever and it will be very bad when it stops... but everyone has motivations to resist the establishment of standards so they'll continue to bicker about it and do nothing until legislators force the issue in the most hamfisted and horrendous way possible.
That's fine for you.
But other people can have objections to it as is their right to.

If you're part of a group and a chunk of them decide to leave, there's no point saying "why do you care about X? It doesn't affect the group."

It's their right to leave.

The other side is that who you associate with defines that group. So if it was a murderer that wrote a file system, then the software project gets defined by that.

It becomes hard to attract contributors when the project gets defined by the actions of one of its participants. Project leaders then have to make a decision since inaction is also a decision.
Exactly this.

Scenario.

- I form a community around developing an open source learning system for children.

- some person joins the community and is civil and even contributues patches.

- the community find out he is an active child molester, but has not done anything of that sort within my community.

- There is not a chance in hell that I would keep him in the community

End of story.
He seems to think the “c..rap” thing very clever. Of course he does.
People selling perfume and car insurance clearly believe that prime-time advertising is cost-effective. Why shouldn't charities use the same media?

If I give $1 to a charity, I'm more than happy for them to spend it on fundraising if they're getting $1.05 ROI. That's a fantastically effective use of my money, as long as the $1.05 gets used effectively to deliver on their charitable purpose.

There's probably a good game-theoretic argument against fundraising activity if charitable donations are zero-sum, but I've yet to see any evidence that they are.

Given the quality and length of Nautilus' articles, $2 is a pretty good exchange for me, also 1 per month is the lowest baseline. Only in HN we probably see 3-4 of them per month, at the very least, but may not read all of them.
I don't think this is peculiar to software development though. The same is true of discussion fora, gaming organisations, multinational businesses - the extent to which it's an issue in the modern connected world is greater, sure, but it's not a direct result of wider communication. I'm willing to bet it was an issue thousands of years ago in busy trading centres too.

edit: this is an interesting aside: "Coming up with a more formalised set of considerations for external behaviour would help there."

Assume that certain yellowish metal is worth nothing. It's pretty much useless. It's pretty but there are prettier materials. Has some nice physical properties (also some bad ones) but you can't use it in mass produced items in large quantities because it's too rare.

That is redeeming quality though. It's rare so you can be pretty sure people won't dig out 10 as much so its value won't drop rapidly. It's durable so it won't corrode away, combust or fly into space if you don't handle it carefully. You can hold it in your pocket or under your materace. This makes it excelent store of value. Not perfect though. If you own it you need to keep it physically secure. If you buy it you need to know how to not get duped. To sell it or buy it you need to physically meet with the buyer or a third party you both trust. Risk of all those operations grows with the value of your holdings.

Now this new thing comes up. It's also rare. You can store it perfectly securely without anyone knowing that you do. You can sell any fraction of it to highest bidder on Earth, from your home and that only requires you trusting sigle third party (that you can choose out of few) that trades over billion dollar's worth of this stuff every 24h.

I think you can easily see that half of value that humanity currently keeps in gold is very safe bet for bitcoin max market cap.

No. There is independent analysis pointing at a group called 'Lazarus' which is believed to be linked to North Korea.

So, it's either a North Korean group, or a group shielding their identities pretending to be North Korean.

Given the lack of publicly available evidence linking the group to NK, and the sophistication of the majority of the things attributed to them, I personally have a very difficult time believing that NK would be capable of these things.. as this would mean extremely talented computer skills, which to develop would require unfettered access to the entire internet for extremely long periods of time, knowledge of several languages, and a host of skill sets that are not usually you'd associate with living in an oppressive regime that can barely keep the power on.

I'm going to go with Occam's razor on this one because it's far more likely that it's easier to pretend to be from NK than for NK to do what they are being accused of.
It's not a question of how widespread they are, it's a question of whether or not they have effectively captured the transport system in question. In NYC, the answer is they have it thoroughly captured. I don't know about Europe, but I'd wager that they have not captured the transport systems as thoroughly.

"Hiding your identity" is a relative premise, not an absolute one.
The only place that can is the justice department which outranks the police. Which means you have to be really serious about bringing the case to court. That serves as a big deterrent since you don't know what kind of evidence has been recorded or if it is even useful.

Fraud is very different from murder, and I understand why someone would be worried about accepting contributions from a known fraudster.

I would not give their contributions extra attention (you should be suspect of all changes, regardless of the author) and I would not ban them from contributing unless they became disruptive or subversive to the project.

They served their time; you don't need to punish them further. They are probably even less likely to commit fraud when their employer is aware of a previous fraud conviction.

The worst fraudsters don't come with a "convicted of fraud" warning—they have evaded being caught and will seem just like any other contributor.
