Yet, plenty of people go into the military. I call bullshit. And frankly the only people I want wearing the badge are ones who are willing to sacrifice themselves, even if it’s a much smaller number of officers being paid much more and are much more skilled.
if i recall correctly Shaver was not wearing pjs, he was wearing shorts. but yes, he appeared to pull up his shorts which were being dragged down because he was being forced to crawl on his hands and knees.

i would bet that almost everyone being in such a position, or standing at their front door in front of their neighbors, who felt their bottom falling down, would instinctively reach down without thinking.

some points to note about that incident -

a) he had the pellet gun as part of his job as an exterminator, even if he was careless in demonstrating how he used it to shoot birds for pest control

b) think about how easily the officers could have gone to the wrong hotel room; you, me or anyone random could've been in the room next door to Shaver and been treated the same (and probably wouldve reacted the same), even if we'd just poked out head outside our room to see what the heck was going on

Fraud seems to happen more frequently in situations of distress. Like Madoff, who had to expand his fraudulent operation to hide his past wrongdoing.
Facebook killed most of the old social communities. The big ones where very lucrative basically swimming in cash, they where only replaced by a bigger fish. The non profit forums and IRC channels are still alive. What worries me though is that so many people use smartphones instead of work-station computers. With a smartphone you are mostly a consumer/by-stander. While on a work-station you are actively taking part by both producing and consuming. There are a lot of really high quality content produced by professionals for profit. But the best content and Internet culture is still made by "ordinary" people for the love of sharing. I hope the good content is not buried by monetized content. There should be more "Hacker News" and less Google and Facebook ads.
I read about a study where Harvard grad students were offered $50k/year as a stipdend but they’d get half of their peers, or $25k/year but they’d get double their peers. People tended to choose the later. Happiness at least above some poverty threshold is relative to where you stand in relation to others. I would bet that JD wouldn’t have traded his life for mine no more than Bill agates would trade his to be an average joe in the year 2120.

Interesting. A lot of those were already "zombies" years ago:

You probably need to exclude those for your calculation... but how would you know for sure? If we filter the top 100 for only addresses created or used in the last 2 years, then 26% would get dropped. This amounts to 867,448 out of 2,958,041 coins gone, or ~30%.

I'd like to see how that distribution at the top of the page changes according to various filters like that. Is there a site where I can get a list of current addresses without needing to scrape, or do I need to download the entire blockchain?
>so why do you even bring it out here?

Because it's easy to verify. Btw, I am not sure what are you even arguing here, my point and the point to the post you replied to is that "Russia will never be considered a democracy by the West" not the strawman you are so eager to burn here.
I perfectly understand the frustration, but this is a kind of interesting phenomenon.

1. It may not be that easy to evade the scrutiny of Apple's review team. It's hard to tell... of course, you only see it when they succeed. (Conversely, you won't see app developers post captivating and emotionally charged posts each time app submission works as expected, and no one would read them if they did.) There's a lot of selection bias going on here.

2. Legit app developers are usually focused on putting out their app while scammers are focused on finding cracks in the app submission process.
Because all of these companies go to great lengths to hide their "anti-malware" libraries and do a bunch of stuff like code obfuscation and ASLR outside of even the compiler tooling.
This is a misleading point. Assaulting an officer ranges from an elbow to the rib during an arrest to beating the crap out of them.

We have roughly 900,000 police officers. A total of 135 police officers were killed in duty in 2016.[0] And 14,453 injuries. We point these people towards danger daily and in a single year only 1 in every 62 of those officers will be 'injured'. I would say that's an acceptable risk for the job if the alternative is the circumvention of due process.

First week of 2018 x 1M Miners = Grad School
(Let's) All Mine [1] is a weekend project inspired by The Million Dollar Homepage [2]. I'm basically broke and the master's program in statistics that I want to do will cost, over 2 years and including living expenses, $100,000. This is a hail mary to see if I can afford to go. I built a site with the goal of collaboratively mining 1,000 Monero to cover those costs. After working out the math, assuming an average rate of 25 hashes/second per user, it's possible to accomplish this in 1 week with 1 million miners. (Or 1 day with 7.5 million people, or 1 month with 250k people).

I know it's a big ask, and there's nothing in it for the miners. But maybe the internet would be interested in starting 2018 off with a feel-good project, considering the shit-show that was 2017.

After building the site and floating it around, I realized why this shouldn't work: (1) there already exist mining pools with proper incentives whereas this depends on generosity; and (2) it depends on people keeping a tab open for a long time, and giving up some fraction of their CPU. By contrast, The Million Dollar Homepage only required short visits by users. Also, The Million Dollar Homepage had the benefit of a younger internet with users that were more curious. But I'm trying it nonetheless.

Thanks in advance, even if you don't participate. Happy New Year.

Oh, yeah, thats definitely not racism right there, blaming hip hop fashion for a shooting percentage. Carry on.
I've always heard American cops are trained specifically to always shoot to kill.
The thing about guns is that there's basically no moment that exists between "in fear for your life" and "dead." Either you shoot the other person while you think they're pulling out a gun (i.e. kill in purported self-defense), or you {get shot and die, nothing happens}. There's no moment, with guns involved, where you can know that someone is trying to kill you, without already being dead.

A recent conversation here

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16022916

and backlash for calling it "effective nonsense" prompted me to research and what I found is important to highlight a sort of moral decay in tech community.

First read the sales letter here.

https://www.effectiveengineer.com/book

or here https://archive.is/piyAi

It makes bold claims about revealing secrets of being an effective engineer like the mythical 10X engineer.

I looked up the author to see what sort of experience he/she has to make such claims.

Author's resume

https://angel.co/edmondlau

Things I noticed. This person has not stayed at any company for more than 3 years at a time. No strong engineering role titles like architecture or software design or scaling. Mostly very soft engineering roles like testing and growth hacking. What sort of serious engineering product can one build in that time period at a company with that roles and how many? In many respectable companies I worked for, a person with this experience level cannot even hire/fire people. Interviewing is not same as hiring.

What kind of insights can one expect for this author to have developed that qualifies him to guide engineers to be 10X engineers and or shipping engineered products?

Next look at the the github profile vs quora profile.

https://github.com/edmondlau

https://www.quora.com/profile/Edmond-Lau

This person has more of a content writer(over 500 Quora Q&A) profile compared to code writer profile. There is nothing wrong with it and one might give a pass about not enough coding because not everyone has their code on github but don't you think for someone professing to make you a 10X engineer has at least some open source contributions?.

What sort of engineering skills and expertise do you notice about the author ....

It's not a binary thing, it's a matter of probability, one can be more or less likely to overreact and training helps with that. You most likely can't fix the problem entirely, mistakes happen, but you can at least reduce the number of incidents.
Yes it would, if you really care about the planet and climate change you and I need to sacrifice something. Getting fit while helping doesn't hurt.
A significant amount of blacks worldwide had sickle cell anemia. In the past when humans lived in more isolated and homogeneous societies this was the standard existence. In fact, it conferred a resistance against malaria. Today, we have better treatments for that disease that don't carry the same side effects.

A more prescient and present example is that almost all humans are subject to cognitive biases. A wise man known as Citizen G'Kar once said "In the past, we had little contact with other races. Evolution taught us that we must fight that which is different in order to secure land, food, and mates for ourselves. But we must reach a point where the nobility of intellect asserts itself and says no, we need not fear those who are different. We can embrace those differences and learn from them."

My personal experience matches what the article suggests. After I started to use barefoot shoes not just for running, but for all daily activities, I noticed few things. I walk slower, like 15%. I do strike more with the toe than with with heel, but this is very surface-dependence. My balance improved. Barefoot shoes in general have less traction, but I have found that walking on icy pavement became easier. The most puzzling aspect was that I get tired less at least subjectively. The last summer I was able to walk non-stop 40 kilometers, when previously I restricted my daily hiking tours to 15-20 km.
To quote itself, it's spotting "unreliable" and "deceptive" reviews, not merely sponsored ones. And even in the latter case: do those look like sponsored reviews?
As much as people slag off the "thin blue line" mentality it does mean something. You put that uniform on and you are the meat-shield between order and chaos, between civilization and lawlessness. You're performing a grim but necessary service, and there's no shame in retiring to civilian life if you can't or won't accept this duty. This is why soldiers are taught that they are outranked by any civilian.

Every officer used to know this. Maybe less so today, when police work is an attractive option for violent people to let loose on civilians with legal sanction. But that's a separate problem from the mentality of duty and sacrifice.

> for example, the Italian government’s property and assets cannot by law by encumbered in such a manner

Well, depending on the country the LTSE is based in, and whether that law is honored through some trade agreement signed into law in that country, I imagine what the Italian government thinks about the issue is moot.

> what of situations in which collateral shares are foreclosed upon, they are inherited, or other non-voluntary transfers of ownership?

I'm wondering if they have or are considering a grace period where if the shares are reacquired within that period the voting rights remain the same. I imagine they definitely wouldn't want the rights transferred in the case of foreclosure.

Inheritance is an interesting one, but then again, it's only a problem if you take the view that your assets should all be transferred to your relatives on death. As with inheritance taxes, there are competing incentives. Maybe shares under a certain quantity could transfer over with voting weight intact, or maybe they should just lose half their time-based voting weight (or just have the time halved, which might still leave them in the top tier of voting weight).

There's lots of ways to structure it to achieve certain goals. I'm sure some would see new case law made.
I don't think he'll be able to get $2K for it. It's still built around a bad bike, and any prospective buyer will easily find that out. It's probably worth most as parts.

You gave the answer yourself. Brand and popularity might change over time. But at the moment it is BTC. Just go to Google Trends and no other coin is that mainstream. The search volume for Bitcoin is 50% of 'iphone' which is massive itself.

Re other coins: There are just two which are scalable because of their semi-central nature (XRP, XLM) but they have to get there first which will take time. The other millions of coins are usually decentral (and slow) tech and often they are shaky not working or don't have any own blockchains while valued in the billions (eg EOS). And you should not forget the upcoming lightning network for BTC.

But why do I try to convince you, at the end of 2018 BTC is at 100K, you missed another opportunity and you come again here and tell us the same FUD.
Does that mean that you do not speak of ownership in terms of a weighted graph of nodes, or that indeed your rules do break down when there is a possibility of circular references?
It's estimated from the number of cycles.
Nor the operating conditions (temperature in particular), which as Apple mentioned rightly in their press release can have quite a substantial impact on how quickly capacity degrades.
What is bothering me here is "some might consider". I know for a fact some consider picture of a frog or milk to be a racist symbol (sad, but true). I know that calling oneself handsome can be construed sexual misconduct[1], what if I have done that? Another things that "some" think are sexual misconduct or sexist: compliments & drink invitations [2], fitting clothes[3], "ladies and gentlemen" [4], accidentally misspelling somebody's name [5], prioritizing facts over opinion [6], talking about sandwiches [7], using word "genius"[8]. True, some of these examples border on the insane, and some are opinions of a tiny minority that are clearly offense mining and oversensitive. But the questionnaire doesn't have any allowance for that - if I know some might consider using the word genius sexist, and I said that word, if I am a honest person, I have to report "yes" to that question, and forever enter the official scientific statistics as a sexual harasser. I think there's something wrong with that.

I've been a toe walker my entire life, so this is fascinating. Sometimes, this is indicative of cerebral palsy, but this isn't true for me. I'm not sure why I started to do it, but my parents said that ever since I was a toddler I have always toe walked—perhaps I simply like the feeling of my toe alighting on the ground first. Curious enough, my toddler now toe walks as well.

And I can confirm: my calves are huge, especially relative to my skinny frame. I also find sprint sports easier, like tennis and soccer.
I looked at the critical reviews and it seems that there was an uptick of fake products sent to customers. Perhaps such an uptick triggers this fakespot behavior? My observation for this and other products is that when something is shady, the reviews consist of a lot of date-clustered reviews that are positive followed by a trickle of critical reviews that seem to point out specific issues with the product.

No, but I imagine sponsored reviews aren't supposed to look like sponsored reviews.

The three it flagged as suspicious for the ethernet cable above were all very short, like "Great product!" or "A++++". I'm not sure what to think of that. I write reviews (of flashlights) as a hobby and wouldn't call something that doesn't describe how the product was tested or include any technical or performance analysis a review.

On the other hand, the average buyer doesn't usually have the knowledge to write a useful technical review and just wants to report that the product met their expectations.

Why not just add friction to selling stocks soon after purchase, perhaps a fee % that shrinks for X years. I feel that be simpler to implement and would lead to a healthier market long-term.

The weighted votes method seems like it would have a more negative effect on liquidity and would disproportionately reward large institutional investors that can afford to stick around regardless of the financial outlook of the company, just to hedge their bets.

Another problem I see is that weighted voting would make older shares more valuable. By purchasing old shares you reduce the number of votes it would take to do anything. This is sort of similar to having a continuous rather than discreet set of share classes. What's interesting about this is that the vast majority of non-institutional investors never vote on anything. This means that, depending on the weighting function, individuals would actually be incentivized to sell their old stock and buy young stock. This would result in consolidation of more voting power in the hands of institutional investors and founders.

The biggest benefit I see of the weighted voting method against other alternatives is a bitcoin-like FOMO buy-in in the beginning.
scooter is a legally different class. E.g. in Germany you need insurance, can't go on bike paths, and a small scooter in car traffic is dangerous.

vs bike: you are less exhausted/sweaty (e.g. important for the morning commute if you don't have a shower at work). Many users are older and suddenly can go up hills again. City often means lots of stopping and getting going again, which is nicer with electrical assist.
That's the way map services already work in some cases, showing the commonly accepted borders and area names based on the user's detected location.
> Perhaps one answer here is to require military service before becoming a police officer.

People will protest even more loudly over "police militarization" and not without some justification. Beyond that, it reduces the supply of police officers to people willing to serve in the military and then become police officers afterward instead of some other career.
