What I am having trouble with is how to argue the switch for people like my parents who are not interested in any fictional content. Netflix and Amazon have still very little (talk, game, political) shows, the reporting is mostly not day-to-day and so on. They would probably watch five documentaries that are relevant to their interest, a few classical concerts but then what?
Really? Weird. Usually if it skips the intro it plays the entire intro the first time you play it after not playing it for a while. It never does that for me.

At any rate... the Netflix skipped intro is how it should be done. Thank god for Netflix.
Caltech had a freshman course like this in the mid-80s, using a homebrew low-tech process. The dire warnings about hydrofluoric acid have stuck with me ever since. It was fun to try to lay out your gate to take as little area as possible -- fun you can revisit at http://www.zachtronics.com/kohctpyktop-engineer-of-the-peopl...

I was 17 at the time too, but doing it on your own is something else.
It's much more than religion. Of course, media would like to simplify things and only one side of the story would be told most of the time. But it's much more complicated issue in reality and the hatred is not one sided by the way.
Let's look bottom up. A typical house in my neighborhood is about 1800 sq ft, 3/4 bedroom, so enough to have say 2 kids. It's about 2.2 million to buy said house. So that's about $8000/mo in mortgage, assuming you somehow managed to save $400K for a down payment. You'll also pay about $2000/mo in taxes. So that's $120K/yr just on housing costs.

But my neighborhood is the "poor" neighborhood. Most of the folks who live here make about $200K-$300K a year.

Over in the $400K neighborhood, their houses are about 2000-2500 sq ft, and cost about $3.5M. Keep in mind the median home in the US is about 2200 sq ft, so these houses are right in line with the US median.

At $3.5M, assuming they can save a 20% down payment, they'll be paying $14,000/mo in mortgage and $3,000/mo on property tax. So that's $204,000 a year just on housing to live in a median size home with good schools.

Using your math, after taxes and 401K, that leaves $38,000 a year for everything else. Or if you skip the 401K, it's $78,000 in post tax money.

So like I said, you aren't hurting, but you aren't crazy rich either.

> the Walton family alone will get 5% of the 1.5 trillion dollar tax break

For some context, 5% of $1.5 trillion is $75 billion. This is ~45% of the current ~$170 billion total wealth of the Walton family.

Walmart's net income was ~$14 billion/year in 2016. It pays ~$6 billion/year in taxes.
FWIW, Time Warner Cable is no longer owned by Time Warner; it’s owned by Charter Communications and has been renamed to Spectrum.
My understanding is that the military did this, not the civil government.
They were also interested in building methods for people who've left the country to communicate with family.

Bitcoin spam attack caught live on camera
I'm crying, can't watch this
it increases centralisation because large blocks do not propagate as easily, and therefore encourage mining co-location
There is a large community of Islam living peacefully in Myanmar. If you look around Yangon (the largest and most popular city of Myanmar), you could find a lot of mosques (some even closed to famous pagoda). So this issue is much more complicated than Islam vs Buddhism.
Is your implication that self-plagiarism is or is not a serious problem?
Fraud.

If I agree to buy $100,000 worth of bitcoin from you, and you take my money without giving me the bitcoins you engaged in fraud and are liable to be sued. The fact that you did this through a double spend attack demonstrates a clear intent to defraud me.
re: Michael Lawson, This American Life has a great piece on his story both before and after Press Your Luck.

Just a warning: this gets really graphic really quick.
While this practice is probably not good, the article is definitely witch hunting. Why does the author call out a bunch of hotel brands (Its now Hilton's job to regulate doctors?). Continuously using the term "body broker"... Come on reuters. These are doctors practicing procedures in potentially unsafe ways, why are you dragging all this irrelevant shit into it?
You clearly read (or retained) only the parts of my comment that you wanted to. Read it again.
This looks pretty bad, hard skip, but I have been desperately wanting this as an IDE plugin for my IDE of choice. I would gladly pay for a plugin that let me fully review pull requests entirely in my IDE. Comment, approve, see hooks, etc. Nothing like that currently exists.
Nothing is about religion, just as nothing is about race, gender, favorite football team or whatever they come up with next. Basically all conflicts are political conflicts; envisioned, ignited and fueled by psychopaths aiming for power at any cost. The only thing that changes is the method for dividing the people, the goal is always conquering. This has been going on constantly since forever, and will continue until we get it collectively.
I have an iPhone, an Amazon Echo, and a Google Home device. I recently had to watch live TV because I was watching a sports game, and the number of ads that targeted my listening devices was obscene. Every other ad was either for the Echo or Home, or for something unrelated but mentioning 'Hey Siri, tell me about [product being sold]'.

To me, it feels like it's an effort to subvert the always-listening/always-watching tracking. If Google has now searched for some random thing being sold because of that ad, then those ads will be shown to me when I browse on my computer (since it's all part of the same profile).

It's intrusive, obnoxious, and I feel zero remorse doing anything to avoid ads (such as use an ad blocker).
You think Alan Turing wouldn't be able to use a microscope?
What I've found is that there is no consensus on who the victim is, and only who the losers are. This surprised me at first, but it really wouldn't be unique at all, in hindsight.

Most of the discussion is around unrelated parties having empathy, because there are suffering people and the political machine is not helping anywhere.

The tricky part is having an objective discussion, for example, I have no idea who these soldiers in the bushes are. This article didn't tell me. Where were they before? Hasn't this crisis been going on since like forever? What changed to accelerate this? What is the majority power doing, thinking, dealing with?
Yes, a lot of companys stopped do business with Americans.
They are all afraid about the crazy US law system. Special in the last recent years, when the US government likes to see everybodys underwear, if you do business with US customers.
Perhaps they weren't interested in you at all. Without knowing anything about the launch - or even whether the helicopter was related - perhaps they were doing something routine and uninteresting, but you just happened to be around for it this time.
okcupid doesn't take the time to remove the profiles of people actively trying to blackmail their users, so I'm not sure what all this 'trust' nonsense is about.
Not according to the statistics I posted earlier....

But the larger question is "having a television" just semantics? My family was staying in an extended stay for awhile when we were having our house built. I had an external monitor I was using for work with my laptop. When I wasn't using it, my son was using it with his game console and to watch Hulu, Netflix, etc.

What's the practical difference between "not having a tv" and having a computer monitor used to watch video?
an adjective and distinction which changes what, exactly?
Well, there are other techniques for anything that is not a crystal, and they are similarly developed as x-ray diffraction, if nothing else, take an atomic force microscope and identify each individual atom directly.

> that doesn't necessarily tell you how it was made or how it works.

Absolutely, there may be materials were we don't have the slightest idea how they are made or how some property arises. But my point is, that the analysis techniques are at a level were it is pretty much guaranteed that an expression like "unknown alloy" is pretty much just clickbait, we know a great deal of anything that is made out of atoms a few days after a sample showed up in a laboratory.
I read it top to bottom and found it super interesting. I appreciate the normalization factor!

I'm chuckling a bit though. "Nutrients per calorie" is a fantastic metric, but then I got to wondering... "How much spinach is necessary to reach 200 cal?" http://www.caloriegallery.com/foods/calories-in-spinach.htm suggests that it'd be 870g! Almost 2lb! That's a lot of spinach to eat.

So is the ultimate goal to be able to put together daily meal plans that ensure you hit all your micro requirements?
Consider a situation in which the US government realises that primecoin's output is crucial to further quantum computer research. They pump 100s of billions into mining primecoin. Now, 99.9999% of hashpower and full nodes belong to the US government - an entity whose only interest in primecoin is as a minor return on some work to reduce costs.

In this case, every assumption of trustlessness and censorship resistance has gone out the window.

A consensus algorithm using proof of useful work will become a market of miners for whom the mining rewards and thus the integrity of the network are merely a secondary concern.
>it's nice to be able to do what you want, have a garden (if you have any land which many houses do), paint it how you want, add an addition, upgrade the kitchen or bathroom.

Let's toss in a YMMV on this since sometimes home ownership in the US is also coupled with very restrictive HOAs.

Overall, that's a great description of why home ownership in the US can be beneficial once you've reached a certain income or rental price point that it makes sense.
There are many technical reasons, but I'll respond differently.

Bitcoin is not a business-coin. Bitcoin is an idea-coin. It was never about the price, the price is just a side-effect. For many early adopters and developers, Bitcoin is about changing the world. Not in a marketing bullshit-world, but in a real way. We really believe that the world would be a better place if we've put a stop to government and banks monopoly on controlling the money. You may disagree, and it's fine. We believe in it, and we want to have the most secure, uncensorable and attack-resistant value transferring network. If it takes $30 to pay to transfer on such network, so be it. Increasing the block size compromises on that property, so we are not willing to do it, even though it's painful for everyone. We will wait. We have credit cards, we PayPal, and we can use altcoins before we get there. The price will rise and fall, users will come and go. We held at $1, we held at $10, we held at $20k, and we will hold at $10 again if it's required. We will get our layer 2 solution and get both our uncensorable, government-resistant network and instant cheap micropayments. That's why most of us dumped BCH coins without thinking twice.

What most other coins are (not all!) is a business-coin. They are mostly pointless. Ethereum could be really a centralized smart-contracts platform run by Google or Amazon, and noone would care much. Actually, I believe that's how ETH is going to end. I believe Amazon engineers are working on it already. Because who cares about centralization or censorship resistance, if the main use case is breading virtual cats? No government will be interested in censoring that.

What BCash is, is a scam coin. It's all about ASICBOOST and Roger Ver's hurt pride. He would like to be a pope of Bitcoin, but noone really cares about him. Except for a talent for scamming people for his own gain, he is noone.
> I don't even want to think about what would happen to people that don't know anyone inside Google.

Like me...

Luckily I'm still logged into gmail on the iPhone so there's a (slim) chance I might be able to get back in on the laptop.

--edit--

Maybe last time was a fluke but I managed to get signed in, weird.

Sorry to doubt you google.
Bitcoin still succeeds in making double spend attacks expensive. If I am selling pizza's at $10 a piece, I am not going to go after someone for a double spend attack. Attackers know this and so would be more willing to engage in this type of attack, possibly often enough for me to drop the proposed system entirely.

If I am engaged in a $100,000 transaction, I would definitely be willing to sue you.

Not to mention the fact that a double spend attack still involves a large capital investment, greatly limiting the number of people capable of pulling it off.
Took the family to see a kids movie yesterday. There was an like 30 minutes of ads at the beginning. I don't think they realise how jarring that is and how that's not something I want my kids to experience. Will reconsider going next time.

The same thing was found in Australia when tested in the public service.
When my sister and I were younger, before the days of cell phones and cameras, we saw a UFO hovering over our small town in Linden, New Jersey.

We knew this was a UFO because it made no sound at all, was hovering about 200 feet above the ground, and was not moving fast at all, almost as if it was drifting, looking and checking things out. It was turquoise in color, diamond shaped, with a window on top of the diamond-shaped vehicle. This was nothing that could have been created by a human being, at least not that we knew of... no sounds coming from it, too small to be a blimp, and moving way too slow to be a small aircraft.

I really do wish I had a camera, but there are just some things that I have seen that can only be explained with words. At least I had my sister there and we now share that memory together.
I love this feature: source browsing with cross reference. It's fantastic. I hope GitHub can also provide this long time ago, but it seems that they are too slow to add new features.

Now, most of the git products provide one-stop project management features, such as issues, discussions, docs, continuous integrations, any plan to add those features in GitPlex?
Is there evidence that dependency injection improves outcomes?
Nothing prevents a sharding as long as you have some way to prioritize in case of conflicts and you require delays from moving money into and out of accounts, but even that's not really needed.

You don't need to store Terabytes per day for 1B daily transactions. BC does it differently, but you could get away with 4 byte time-stamp, 4 byte amount, 32 byte source public key, 32 byte destination public key = unique transaction + 32 byte signature demonstrating sender with correct private key signed that transaction. Now, 1 billion of those = 100GB per day = 36 TB per year which sounds like a lot but most nodes don't need the full amount just current state + verifiable hash + new transactions.

But even that's not needed, suppose every node includes a subset of the account amounts so every K nodes allows you to recover the state of all accounts. That way you don't need a full database just the most recent K nodes and they have complete state. Some people can keep a historic archive, but the system operates even if that information was lost. (You would want some GC as well so accounts must either be larger than A or have a transaction within the last Z steps.)

Granted, managing pending transactions increases bandwidth needs, but nodes can manage reputations based on only forwarding valid transactions. Some metrics so their is some statistical chance of conformation and you end up with ~2x overhead for unconfirmed but likely transactions.

PS: You can also have the protocol grow so if the 11 of the last 20 nodes where full the new node is 1% larger.
I used to live in an apartment with good distant views. Soon after moving in noticed small spots of light seemingly hovering in the sky and then suddenly moving at an angle and disappearing. At that point in time they were UFOs to me. Eventually I discovered that the lights were in fact headlights from distant aircraft coming in to land at an airport about 20 miles away. Due to the distance and the height of the apartment the lights didn't appear to move up or down, nor get brighter. Of course, once the planes turned the lights disappeared. At that distance and with the general light pollution, I couldn't hear the planes nor see their strobe or nav lights.
it probably depends how many other job options their employees have.

Nearly all IE11 visits to my sites are from Windows 7 and 8.
As JetSpiegal said, I usually just watch it in the browser and it plays fine.
I do not recommend watching Transformers (the movies) for you.

The last (and final) one I watched (just to see how bad it was) had a 30 second (I am not shitting you) beer commercial complete with the signature Michael Bay 360 degree shot.

And not to mention the Chinese - "we must call central government" - pandering.

Well, there's "doing it" and being complicit in it. She called the reports "fake news." The administration won't pronounce the word Rohingya because they deny that the people are an ethnic group.

Merely being accessory to genocide and not actually an instigator of it doesn't seem better.

This was the only self-interested part of the new tax bill that I could get on board with. I think at one point it was going to get rid of the mortgage interest deduction entirely (now it keeps it below $750k, I think).

As a renter in LA, who never plans on being able to afford a house here, I was personally ok with them twisting the knife a little on folks that get a double break in not only the mortgage interest deduction rate but also get to keep their property tax low due to Prop 13. Whereas I pay ever increasing rent plus, to help fund public transit, we end up paying more in sales tax.

Sad to see that the first response mentions DI frameworks and more code. Dependency injection can - and probably should - be as simple as injecting dependencies in a constructor, period.

DI just means that you inject the functions/objects you'll need in your module. There is no black magic or anything. To me, it's the only way to build decoupled systems with good separation of concerns.
If you're opening a new 2nd account, there isn't anything to "move", is there?

Oh yeah, I'm not trying to argue against what you are saying, I'm arguing against the model we are using to monetize. You are absolutely correct.

IDGAF what the property holder wants, unless it's the creator themselves. Even then, if you don't want it redistributed, maybe don't put it in a format that is trivial to redistribute in. Just because they've been making money because of the old model, doesn't mean they have the right to keep making money once we've automated that away.

>> I don't think our bodies evolved for this kind of effort...

Our bodies evolved to stay alive long enough for our kids to have kids of their own, somewhere between 30 and 40ish. There is no grand plan, no set lifestyle that will perfectly suit our bodies. Such concepts tough on quasi-religious ideas of grand designs and lost edens. Evolution is a dirty and unplanned mess of factors without any plan. Brushing my teeth every day isn't something my body evolved to handle. The bit of evolution that gave me wisdom teeth had in fact a very different plan. That doesn't mean I should return to the 'natural' lifestyle of not taking care of my teeth. Sitting too much is no doubt bad for our hearts, but there is no idealized 'balance' between sitting and jogging, a form of exercise that didn't even exist until maybe 1800.

Of course he could, but unless you told him you were a time traveler from the future, or the Germans had vastly superior secret technology they hadn't deployed yet, it would be so unlike the computers of his time that it probably wouldn't seem plausible that it was what he knew of as a computer.
I don't exactly see the relationship you may, between being free to disengage from a situation and being (or not being) aggressed against. It seems like you think they are related in a certain way you didn't make explicit. Are they mutually exclusive to you?

So gitcoin could be really revolutionary or it could be a total flop.

I had a lot of hope for BitHub, a simple tool for paying bitcoin per git commit. What seems different about gitcoin which might increasing its chances of success is that it seems to be focusing on building a community/marketplace.

Would be great if GitHub could add donate buttons to pages and issues and payout. No reason this has to be done with cryptocurrency.

We are failing refugees the world over. This is heartbreaking, and so is the situation in Syria, in South Sudan, in Eritrea, and in countless other places. And I don't feel like we're getting any better and we're certainly doing no better at preventing these crises. With the world getting more crowded, is there an end in sight?

This piece reminded me a bit of the self-recorded documentary of a Syrian woman trying to escape the turmoil there: https://www.theguardian.com/world/video/2017/aug/02/escape-f...
"He got interested in bitcoin in college because he liked the idea of a form of money that couldn’t be manipulated by governments."

Of course he did. The idea of making money by manipulating governments takes money to begin with. He thought it through.

The real question is, what are we going to do with all these useless people who want to manipulate currency markets for individual gain?
