>So unless that counts something other than the hourly employees, or counts pension contributions as salary (in which case it is just an argument against pensions), I have a hard time believing it.

Usually if the figure includes benefits (as it does in this case) the pension contributions are included. Along with things like medical,life, and disability insurance.

Usually when you total everything up it comes to around twice what people get paid. I worked at a place with federal civil servants, and the total cost to the government for a civil servant was costed out at 2.2x salary.

Yes, agreed my site is "low value". Despite the engagement though, an obviously pirate site is also low value by nature of the networks that are willing to work with it. Quote me some actual networks they use and cite the cpm's they typically pay and I will concede. Right now we are both speculating.
Why don't you use a paper wallet or just keep your private key on a hard drive? Are you exchanging your bitcoins often?

I have to admit that I only recently got familiar with logs. I was designing a B+Tree[1] in Python for fun and was struggling to make it survive crashes: a single insertion in a tree often results in multiple page writes which is not atomic.

The solution to this problem is simple and elegant with a Write-Ahead Log. Every page write is appended to the log and only merged back into the tree file when it's sure that the log is safely written to storage.

SQLite has an extensive documentation of its WAL file format, which is great for learning.

And this is why I struggle with a moral quandary every time I make money off this crypto craze.

Where is the money coming from when I sell? What percent of it is from someone else making a very poor financial decision in a desperate move to elevate their financial position?

I believe most people would answer "who cares" as long as they are getting theirs. But if you are someone who believes those with money have a responsibility to help elevate those without, it's real hard to not feel dirty when you are one of the people seeing profits.
How does it implies any kind of manipulation?

I know of a few teenagers who do this. Their sites have been taken down multiple times, but they never seem to stop. I completely understand that internet forums are no place for seeking legal advice, but I would like to know what can I do to thwart/report these people (in the United States).

(My real concern is that the money they are generating is being used to fund illegal activities in the neighborhood -- which I can not tolerate. I have lost a close one to a drug crisis already, cannot take it more).
Moving stairs is likely the only thing in the article that has a possibility of happening...

NYC politics is broken. Nobody is willing to spend money on important projects, the incentives for politicians simply focus too much on the short term. Changing the geometry of the stations at certain bottleneck points could have a significant effect on delays caused by overcrowding. I've noticed this sort of thing during rush hour, where a train has to sit in a station for an extra few minutes as people push in.
Yes that is a key insight to understand about macroeconomics and the reason why growth in financial equity and other instruments is not counted in GDP, only production of real things, creation of factories and accumulation of inventories.

One party's debt is another party's saving (the party that the debt is owed to) so debt nets to zero in the aggregate economy.

It is also why cryptocurrencies are potentially dangerous to the economy if they become too popular. The situation could become similar to how gold hoarding caused the great depression (though I don't think it will be that catastrophic unless governments start tying their currencies to crypto tokens like they had done with gold.
I have heard that since coinbase keeps all but 2% of their crypto assets in "cold storage" (offline storage that requires a physical trip to somewhere to spend), there are semi-frequent times where their "hot wallet" runs out of money, and they need to go and retrieve it from cold storage in order to continue.

Naturally this would happen when there are large spikes in usage (which happen during swings in price) and people are trying to move cryptocurrencies out of coinbase.
> What kind of non-technical person is trying to buy and manage a bitcoin wallet in the first place?

I've had half a dozen non-technical friends ask me about getting into Bitcoin in the last month or so. Media attention, get-rich-quick, scams, etc. are all attracting hordes of people, to the point where the Coinbase app was #1 on the App Store for a while.

Even the people running exchanges are getting hacked. What chance does a normal user have?
If you have small amounts of crypto currency and want a secure machine and don’t want to buy a hardware wallet:

You can take your old phone or tablet, apply any available upgrades, factory reset it, use it only for crypto currency stuff.

Our mobile operating sysmtems are pretty secure (in the grand scheme of things)

> Inner city schools do not get less of the funding.

These are all based on the public records, please consider why you stated that the funding is equal? Federal funding for education has also been less and less.

http://www.openpagov.org/education_revenue_and_expenses.asp

(My city) Allentown SD per student = $13,949

(Next town over) Sailisbury SD per student = $21,519

(Highest in the state) Lower Merion SD per student = $28,495

"Here is ti challenge this statistics: Data from the National Center for Education Statistics shows that high-poverty school districts spent 15.6 percent less than those in the group with the least poverty.

In Pennsylvania, that difference was 33 percent"

Federal Funding title 1 for Inner City Schools funding per student is quite low, averaging about $500 to $600 a year. 50% of public schools qualify for federal money and the 14 billion works out to much less than most people believe. It amounts to a 5% increase in funding for some schools.

https://www.brookings.edu/research/why-federal-spending-on-d...

Here is the Heritage Foundations paper on how Inner City racial groups get more money and so there is no unequal funding problem based on race. This is just crazy statistics gymnastics. http://www.heritage.org/education/report/the-myth-racial-dis...

My point is not race it is socioeconomic disparity at the school district level and Heritage wants to say school in districts favor the poorer schools. Poorer schools in School District isn't the problem it is school districts getting under funded.

Funding isn't the answer but why should my daughter or son have 9 gym classes a year (School doesn't have a gym, nor a library room, and certainly no art class room) She also gets 9 art classes and 9 Music classes a year.

They also don't get recess due to funding problems for monitors. My daughter in kindergarten got no recces from August till January. Though she had 2 hours of reading and 2 hours of math per day. http://www.macon.com/news/local/article28555831.html
The more I think about our future with self driving cars/busses; I wonder at what point will subways no longer be needed? If you look at the capital cost of a new bus compared to the cost for the operator(s) who work it, we could greatly increase our fleet of bus services simply by removing the driver. If that and the cost per mile falls under $1/mile for uber and the like, I don't think we have a massive need for subways anymore.

I would absolutely not want to be standing for 10 hours a day. But it is nice to be able to stand up for my usual 3-5 hours per day.
The Bitcoin Cash fiasco is a good demonstration why their approach to opening markets doesn't work - if the correct market price at open is different from the initial price people start placing orders around, no-one can place orders on one side of the book for anywhere near market price, which means there isn't enough liquidity at open, which causes chaos. Apparently they've given up on opening the BCH-EUR and BCH-BTC markets altogether until January after this looked like it was going to happen again with those.
Yup. The last few years has basically been a real-time history lesson on how the modern financial and regulatory systems came to be. Must be fairly fascinating for economists and historians.
Have been working on something similar, do you mind explaining how you chose ad networks? and any other monetization hot tips?
Yep, and I even referred to reference counting earlier in the week as garbage collection, so I'm going to assume I was having memory corruption with my answer. :-)
Coinbase is unintentionally the circuitbreaker. It crashes every time there is a lot of volatility.
Coinbase are not market makers...
When you create counterfeit money, you damage people's trust in the money, which damages it's perceived value. You'd have to do it without doing catastrophic damage to the public trust, because then all you've stolen wouldn't have nay value.

However, you could SHORT crypto currency and then do some damage it. Where would this logic break?
I had to stand for 9 hours every day at one job. It was a horrible experience. A lot of foot pain and sore foot arches.
As I’ve said before, watching cryptocurrency markets evolve is like watching the entire history of financial markets being replayed as painful lessons are relearned.
> But the moment your case is perceived by authorities as political or somebody with power finds your business interesting, one gets BIG troubles.

It is quite typical for many countries and Belarus is definitely not the worst one in this sense. For example, the situation in Latvia and Estonia is much worse because everything is ok and fair but only until you have "right" ethnic origin (citizen of 1st class) - otherwise, if you do not belong to the titular nation then you are in trouble - the whole system will play against you.

You seem to think the TWU has power that it really does not have. The MTA has been consolidating the subway system's towers since the 1970s, closing a number of the electromechanical towers and replacing them with transistorized (and now computerized) equipment. In the 90s and 00s they had a grand plan to create a single control center for the whole system, but they hired incompetent contractors who failed to deliver, so now they are back to the old approach of building new towers to replace multiple old towers.

At no point has the TWU stopped them. All the TWU can do is stop the MTA from eliminating jobs, they cannot stop the MTA's plans to install new equipment.
If you're just trying to find a set of accounts with a weak password, isn't it much more viable to use the sign-in page that shows "invalid password" instead of "invalid username or password" rather than dealing with captchas on the signup page?

Yea I think I agree with this, most piraters are doing so because they are so used to the idea of FREE that the idea of spending any money at all on content is a disaster to them.
Use the right tool for the job.

"Scale" can be seen under different angles. You can run thousands of boxes with relatively simple code if it's designed to scale horizontally. Twitter used to run on Ruby this way, until they accumulated money and expertise enough to rewrite the whole thing and save on operations and further development costs.

Your code can be millions LOCs and run on a few boxes; it's a very different sort of "scale".

In one company where I worked they had a crazy mix of codebases, from modern Scala down to ancient PHP code. But since it was architected reasonably, it was possible to replace the PHP code piecemeal, without stopping the system. Do the devs that started it 15 years ago with PHP deserve blame for choosing a poor language, or praise for coming up with a serviceable architecture?

You can see the original post as a step in the right direction: in a complex codebase, static typing has a large number of advantages. Barring a wholesale rewrite, how would you gradually transform your code to using it? Yes, by documenting the current state in a formal way, introducing a typecheck build step, then maybe splitting out certain components and rewriting them in other languages, etc. Look at TypeScript.

Unfortunately, there's no way around using quick-and-dirty prototypes at the very early stages, if nothing else, for lack of technical expertise among founders and their first employees. They have business ideas first and foremost. So a tool like that would help exactly the step you want done, switching to a nicer and more manageable stack as growth allows / demands it.

SV might be going too far in the other direction but the market inefficiency for rest of the world is overpaying old white guys. The people younger than me are smarter, harder working than me and underpaid. They lack a bit of experience but that all balances out in 6 months. The key experience is learning the how to work with the production ball of mud that is different at every job. The people older than me are mostly lazy, mediocre at their job, and overpaid. The woman tend to be good but the guys are entitled. The competitive is looking the part and being good at politics.

That is a really heavy ad with a complete black out modal overlay and the main prize front and center for all readers to witness :)
Yes, but the number of possible "solutions" (valid or invalid) is so large that it's extremely unlikely that 2 people are getting the same invalid solutions (assuming the software is working correctly). so you don't need any coordination.

And "extremely unlikely" doesn't quite get across the magnitude here. We are talking about the likelihood of 2 people generating the same SHA256 hash of what is basically an absurdly large random number.

Trying to mine a block is basically just generating an SHA256 hash of (the previous block + a nonce) that has a given number of 0's on the front of it. (this is crazy oversimplified) The nubmer of zeros is basically the difficulty.

So everyone starts off trying to generate a SHA256 hash of "ABCD" and a random number, that has at least 4 zeros on the front. So a mining pool is setup that says anyone that generates a SHA256 hash of the same thing with 1 or more zeros on the front gets a "share", and when anyone generates an SHA256 hash with 4 or more zeros on the front, the pool submits that share, then gives the profits to everyone that was able to generate "shares" based on how many they generated.

There is not always a company dedicated to this thing. There is a private tracker where the three most popular torrents are the following: Andrei Tarkovsky Stalker, Chris Marker L'héritage de la chouette , Louis Malle Le feu follet AKA The Fire Within. Tens of thousands of movies, series etc you'd have serious trouble obtaining with money.

The second Vernay adaptation of The Count of Monte Cristo from 1954 is considered perhaps the truest to the book but it is impossible to get hold of, especially in any digital format. It seems there was a VHS edition in 1988 and Amazon.fr occasionally has third party sellers selling them. Or you can torrent it. Vernay himself is dead for 40 years, Marais only 19 years -- but of course the movie is now over 60 years old. I do not lose much sleep over "stealing" it.

I am sure everyone on that tracker has similar stories.

Edit: I am so wrong! Apparently in 2015 a German publisher made a DVD out of it! I am off to amazon.de to purchase it. I haven't checked the last few years because it seemed rather futile. This time Hackernews served as a rubber duck for debugging, sort of :D

Society vs Anarchy. If you'd like to try an experiment where there is no government and nobody pays taxes, then we'll see how long it takes most of the CEOs to either get killed or to submit to a different CEO feudal lord. The battles to determine who will be King will be quite bloody. Alternatively, we could agree to have a society, in which everyone reaps the benefits. To make that happen we will need taxes. I'm all for libertarianism, but if you want a little fantasy called "Libertarian minimal government, but oh, no, wait, of course I want a police force to enforce property rights so I can keep my millions of dollars worth of stuff", well then suddenly you aren't really against taxes are you? You just want only the benefits that help you.
