> Another reason why I believe there should be some government regulation, or little regulation but worker union.

Unsurprisingly there is such regulation in Europe. It's illegal to work over certain amount of time -- it's the employer that potentially gets into trouble so this is usually observed as far as I know. There are allowances for short periods of overtime, but strict limits over longer intervals.
One hopes this is just the daily recommended dose of general "fear foreigners!" pablum that WaPo is assigned by its CIA handlers, rather than the first rumblings of the foredoomed "Operation Tibetan Freedom". We've gotten our asses kicked enough this century already; let's chill out for a few decades.

It is ridiculous to think that beef export, in particular, should be held hostage to concerns about injustice in Tibet while the rest of the economy happily bubbles along doing billions and billions in business with China. If WaPo dislikes Montana beef people so much, why not get them kicked off the federal lands they destroy while paying pennies to rent? Ranchers like me who have to actually pay for the land their cattle graze, could support that.
OK, good point. I probably misread it.
Fundamentally, I don't see why not. You're not saying whether
you have someone who mentors you on this project. If not, I would strongly suggest that you try to find a mentor (a university professor working in the field, or at least someone who has published in the field before). In my experience, most professors are very open to working with talented students.

If you're doing this all by yourself, people would be very suspicious that you're being presumptuous about the value of your contribution. So, while in theory, your work should be publishable just based on its merit, in practice, I think the only chance to be published is to have a senior author on paper (this is true even for graduate students)

> bank bailouts with taxpayer money

You do know the banks payed back the bailout money with interest and added fines right? Overall it was a net positive for tax payers. Not sure how that's a fraud... Your other examples are suspect as well...
Lets tone it a down a bit. I'm sure there are idiots who took out a HELOC to buy BTC, just like idiots who did it with gold, or to bet the horses, or buy lottery tickets. A few idiots can't really change the reputation of something. The internet somehow survived through a crash that led the economy into a recession. When/If BTC crashes, it will be a small blip in the economy.

Because they are using them to single out individuals (even if those are anonymous) - people expect them to at most use that data privately (ie to see what you probably like) and to have aggregate things (ie this is the most popular $ITEM on weeknights).

You're not trusting the miners, you're trusting a system that was designed so that one would need 51% of the mining power to perform an attack. While there is a worrisome level of centralization in mining, you are also trusting the economic incentive structure of the miners is sufficient for no one to coordinate a 51% attack given the current dynamics.
Here are a couple options:

1. You can use a blocker like qustodio. Use a long password you can't remember, write it down and give it to a friend.
2. Use accountability software like covenant eyes. Someone would receive a list of every site you visit, and that social pressure may be enough.

If you're technically inclined, these things aren't super hard to circumvent. But perhaps they make it hard enough to overcome.

A more extreme option is to get rid of the internet at home and only use it in a public place. There are also recovery programs for addicts.

It doesn't sound like you're religious, but overcoming pornography is a common issue in Christian circles. The support structures there can be of great assistance. Personal accountability can be very helpful.

* Crack ECDSA and forge transactions (slowly/slyly enough to make a hard fork fix infeasible)

* Create exchange(s), get users, then implode them ("oops, bad code / we got hacked") (bonus: free $ for black ops)

* Create competing coins, either crappy ones just to suck away mindshare or legit one(s) backed by the gov't that grants some stability through gov't capability. Or heck just designed well enough that people want to actually use it for spending.

Or just go the more traditional / direct route and create regulations or make it outright illegal, and shut down exchanges and throw people in jail (probably the most effective)
I've worked with a lot of different languages, developing games and server software, for 15 years. I and everyone I've worked with always tries our best to give reasonable, readable names to things. I've never needed to call something a "Factory". Let alone a "FactoryFactory" or "FactoryFactoryFactory".

I don't know what it is about Java that makes people write code and name things like this.

This kind of stuff is just foreign to me, and I just don't understand any of the rationale behind it. I hear about it all the time, but can't fathom how code ends up like this.

A great plus is that it already comes with Kdiff3, a great open source 3 way diff open source program.

How feasible is Bitcoin as a currency when transaction fees can exceed $20/USD?
I do, and I think it will do very well against those over the next few years.
I think dismissing Bitcoin and promoting blockchain technology kind of misses the point. Sure, a lot of companies will invest in blockchain tech and maybe roll out their own blockchains, but that doesn’t make a lot of sense to me.

A blockchain without a peer to peer/decentralized network and a crypto currency/incentive system is nothing more than an over-architected centralized database.

The trust provided by using a blockchain is based mostly on the incentive for people to secure the network. Sure you can use hashing and encryption to verify transactions without it, but if it is a private chain, then one person with access can perform a 51% attack and alter all of the transactions. That is the exact thing something like Bitcoin is trying to prevent.

I agree that Bitcoin itself may not end up being the final coin that survives in 5 or 10 or 20 years, but it has the first mover advantage and strong brand recognition, and I don’t see that changing anytime soon.

> Some sorts of fraud are legal if that's what you mean.

No, that's not at all what I mean. What I mean is what I said - inflation isn't just not fraud, the two terms are not even definitionally relevant to one another.

> Usually, when committed by the government.

Examples:

- Underfunded pension funds,

- bank bailouts with taxpayer money,

- wars with made-up reasons,

I'm not going to engage in a discussion about whether or not governments do things which are economically controversial or a net loss for society (nor am I going to agree or disagree that your examples are good examples of that observation in practice).

What I will say is that "bank bailouts with taxpayer money" are not fraud, even if the banks themselves were complicit in fraudulent activity, because the bailouts were a practical matter of economic preservation. The government itself did not defraud the American people in this example, and your framing here is a rearrangement of the actual facts. Using taxpayer funds (which is tantamount to the government doing nearly anything) for something which you disagree with and which is related to a financial system does not constitute fraud.

As for the other two examples: I won't comment on war, but can you clarify what you mean by "underfunded pension funds"? How does this example constitute fraud, and what exactly do you mean by these funds being underfunded? Deliberately so? By whom? To what effect?

> The cost of each should be in the trillions but it's not fraud. By the same reasoning, previously one could expect to get a positive real interest rate (= nominal interest rate - inflation), yet that's not the case. Legally fraud? No. Challenging the economics of the last few milleniums? Yes.

Fraud requires a conscientious, covert decision on the part of one party to cause, and thereby profit from, a loss for another party. You can't feasibly map fraud to inflation. It's not just that it isn't fraud (it isn't!), it's that monetary policy is so complex, and its incumbents' decisions so diverse, that it's conceptually orthogonal to fraud.

Economic control systems and their feedback mechanisms are very complex and influenced by many unrelated parties; you need not ascribe malicious motive or conspiratorial profiteering to the government to end up with characteristics you're unhappy with.

Alertify: notifications for whatever you want
The majority of your links seem to be chosen simply because they have the word 'swap' on it somewhere, not because they make the case why having 'some swap' is a must.

I wrote a kernel from scratch, besides that I did quite a bit of transaction oriented stuff and built the server side of a very successful messaging platform. That does not make me an expert either but I do have some minimal understanding of what goes on under the hood. If you are simply configuring swap space on a better-safe-than-sorry basis then I would rather not have you near a system whose response has to be deterministic because it almost certainly will fail in some unpredictable way sooner rather than later.

Yes it is difficult stuff, no you do not get a free pass just because you messed with important stuff on a duct-tape-and-glue basis. See, swap is just a stay of execution, once a system starts swapping it is as good as out of control anyway so in the vast majority of cases that I am familiar with you want that situation to announce itself loud and clear and in a way that gives you back control. You then do postmortem and you fix it so it will not happen again. That is far preferably over having systems that remain partially broken but pretend to be fine.

I know plenty of people run after each other claiming great insight by quoting the various help-yourself sites but it amounts to absolutely nothing when you suddenly find yourself trying to figure out why your transaction queues are overflowing because some system in the pipe suddenly decided 100ms is as good as 10 as long as things keep flowing.

If on the other hand your systems are not important enough to properly set them up with static resources committed to long running processes and with strict limits on what logged in users can do from the command line then this advise is going to fall on deaf ears because you did not need reliability in the first place. Note that in many business context latency is far more important than throughput.
I've never done heavy development in Java, but my day-to-day has been C# for years. I've never seen a FactoryFactoryFactory, or even a FactoryFactory. Since the two languages are so similar, I would think C# would have the same issues as Java in this regard, but in my experience it doesn't. Is there something about C# that has let it avoid this? Or have I just happened to work at places that don't like the Factory pattern as much as everyone else seems to? :D

All are billion dollar companies founded in the last several years, and none have new business models, as far as I know. They may have small tweaks, but no two companies are identical - I think it's fair to say most of these companies simply copied a business model and executed very well.

You can probably quibble with some of those, but not all.

Internal FCC Report Shows Republican Net Neutrality Narrative Is False
No, that's not what I'm claiming. I'm claiming that pharmaceutical companies wanted a way to increase profits. They concluded that if they raised prices that would be bad PR because of the poorer nations that couldn't afford it and they would be seen as villains. Yet, the US had the potential to pay more. So they found a way to go right down the middle and lobbied congress hard to pass those laws. Now they get to be the benevolent rich guys who get to prattle about how many doses they donate globally and how cheap they can make the pills in the lesser developed nations while simultaneously ripping off US citizens to cover all that, and more.
After the death of net neutrality, what will the internet look like?
Not very feasible, right now. There are some technical hurdles that can be overcome with some improvements in the code which will drop the transactions fees to almost nothing.

For now, Bitcoin seems to be taking shape as a store of value, like gold. Another, more updated crypto currency, might take over as day-to-day currency while Bitcoin is the larger value store.

Hard to say how things will shake out but it's surprisingly still the early days of crypto technology.
The main issue with groups pushing single boogiemen is that life isn't that neat: there are, as alluded to in other places, multiple people (mostly billionaires these days, but not always) with major influence pushing multiple opinions. I am also not surprised that life behind the scenes at one of these advocacy groups is as Dilbertesque as any corporate environment tends to be.

I think the main issue here is that, with decisions like Citizen United in particular, political power does seem to have shifted towards those who can spend the most money even more than usual. Often, their priorities are out of whack with what the priorities of the common citizen are. I do not get the impression, for instance, that tax cuts aimed largely at corporations and high earners were the top priority of most who voted in last year's election (certainly the polling on the tax cut seems to reflect that). Yet this appears to be the single issue that the national GOP unifies itself on. Go figure.

Paradoxically, I think the very messiness that you are talking about might actually contribute to this particular issue. Instinctively, the Koch corporate interests shouldn't care about muni broadband much. Koch is largely resource extraction, meaning a lot of operation in rural areas. Given the current state of broadband (quasi-monopolistic), some rural communities miss out on good broadband because, quite simply, rural broadband isn't profitable enough for the current broadband monopolies [1]. Frankly, good broadband makes a given location that much more attractive to potential employees and other people living in the area. It would seem like the Kochs would at best simply keep mum about a muni broadband fight, even if it didn't necessarily gel with core beliefs.

Instead, my best guess is that their "libertarian oriented" cause funding got tied into the network of old school broadband monoplies' desire to restrict competition by legal decree (not exactly a libertarian thought, but currently aligned with Republicans). Voila, via the magic of political coalitions, the Koch brothers now "provide" some of the funding for anti-muni broadband campaigns.

Hacking Coinbase (Aug 2017)
>BTC is gearing up to be the biggest financial disaster in history, and it's better to start planning for it now.

I can see how one can arrive at this sentiment based on how quickly the price has increased, but I wonder how bad it would really be since the vast majority of Bitcoin investment is not debt based. Additionally most people I've talked to on the matter, only invest what they are willing to lose.

Now, if a significant amount of investors get in via margin and other debt-based approaches, then that could be problematic. BTC have seen huge drops in value in the past, how individuals new to the space react is unknown.
It seems like you are saying: If anyone in an organisation does something stupid which makes a bad impact outside the organisation, then they must be punished by losing their job.

> BTC is gearing up to be the biggest financial disaster in history

Lots of value evaporating doesn't necessarily make for a disaster. It only does that when it interacts with the larger financial universe in unexpected ways. In countries where people will start missing their mortgage payments as a result of Bitcoin losses, yes, there are systemic risks. In the United States, we're still far from that point.
One question these smooth debut articles don't answer is - How easy it is to short bitcoin futures on these markets? Without an effective way to short, this is still unproven.

I'm actually a little worried for the Clintons. Some of those donors might be unaccustomed to having promises broken. Some of those might be unpracticed at forgiveness...
I’m talking maximum, not average. Also, it depends on transaction size; there really is no true transactions-per-second figure for Bitcoin. On top of that it depends on wallet software, too — most of which aren’t yet ready to benefit from the recent SegWit protocol upgrade (which increases TPS somewhat).

In other words: 10 TPS is possible, but this assumes 1) taking advantage of SegWit and 2) a simple transfer from one account (input) to two accounts (destination+change output).

Super excited to see what 2018-2019 looks like. If we have 3-4 high yield ~7nm nodes and the dram/nand markets start clearing again I think we'll see some pretty crazy prices for hardware especially with AMD/ARM pressuring Intel.

Hopefully Openstack will be a bit more mature then too. With lower hardware costs and an open source software stack cloud computing might get pretty competitive.
> Turns out there's quite a lot of demand out there for those able and willing to develop on Microsoft platforms.

Can't argue with that. So, you develop for/on MS platforms if you have to/like to develop for/on MS platforms (plus there's always demand for that, especially in the enterprise).

In the meanwhile, the rest of the world will keep developing for non-Windows -- not necessarily because they have to/adore it but just because in so many cases it makes the most sense so you don't even think about it...
