> The moment you [...] want to liquidate your bitcoin [...] you indirectly involve traditional banks

Not necessarily, you could liquidate f2f with another person providing you cash. Just think of the worse case, stock crash, bank crash, etc. Then, it's good to have BTC in your wallet. They are accepted and easily transferred, without any bank).
Currently Intel/AMD can change the microarchitecture however they see fit, potentially even between revisions, as long as the instruction set stay stable.

Changing the microarchitecture itself is not trivial either, and you can bet that they've got it all documented internally along with tools and whatever else. They could just open it up, as in post everything on their website for download --- they don't have to provide "support". The only real reason they don't is because there are things in there that they don't want the world to know.
Are you seriously insinuating this user is a neo-Nazi because he's trying to have a polite conversation about what is and is not ethical? That's shameful.

When a lighting guy gives you a comedy idea, many people would tell him to keep to lighting and leave the comedy to the comedians. Cranston's point is that by not using a stereotype filter to ignore the lighting guy he ended up with a better scene.

He doesn't have to seek out advice from the lighting guy, he just has to be in a culture where the lighting guy feels comfortable sharing if he happens to have a good idea.
Cheating hasn't destroyed the game, it's just annoying. Servers (some of them very profitable) use anti-cheat server plugins (that are sometimes more problematic that cheaters) and shrug it off. Cheating is done using client-side plugins.

The problem is that Minecraft doesn't mistrust clients enough.

BTW "hacker" has become a dirty word for Minecraft multiplayer gamers :(
It's a combination of microcode and hardwired logic that's common now --- hardwired simple instructions, microcoded complex ones.
"The size of the people. In both sports their has been an increase in the mass of the players. However US football players seems disproportionately massive. In Rugby their are not rolling substitutions, so you have to carry that mass around for 80 minutes, and therefore a compromise is necessary, perhaps gridiron could restrict the number of subs, or the squad size so the bruisers actually had to run."

You are correct that NFL players are much, much larger than comparable rugby players. NFL linemen are enormous.

And they can run. It is not uncommon in 2017 to see 300+ pound linemen that can run quite fast. Michael Oher, the subject of the Michael Lewis book _The Blind Side_[2] is 6'4", has an actual weight of 320+ pounds, and is described to move very quickly on the basketball court.

However it is not these large players that are involved in the concussion hits. It is the "smaller" 200+ pound players who, while wearing full pads, can run as fast as olympic sprinters and launch themselves into opponents at full speed.

I'm afraid the "bruisers" can already run and the "small guys" are the size of normal rugby players. And are faster.

This is why I find the NFL so enormously compelling: In the 21st century, what happens in an NFL game is otherworldly.

M:TG has had an amazing run for 20+ years, but I think the writing is on the wall with the popularity of digital card games.

There will always be some type of antiques/historians market, but for the masses the next 20 years will have to be about playing magic style games through mobile devices and AR.

Seeing your card of a fire breathing dragon display in the real world and blow fire on your enemy is just too much WOW for the next generation to stay enthused about physical cards.
What is the advantage of using CSS Grid instead of Flexbox? The Bootstrap v4 already uses Flexbox for its grid system.
Being locked into the Apple ecosystem is mainly because:

1) Important historical data you can't move out - like iMessages

2) Apple Music - Your curated playlist is just that without actual songs (Of course you can recreate and start from scratch here)

3) Apps/Games - Specifically where the account is tied to your apple account and you have ample progress be it in app purchases or unlocking features on apps (which can really add up)

4) Your family - My entire family, wife, parents, sisters, neices/nephews and brother in law are all on iPhone and we all share the same Apple family plan for music and purchases. We also share location information so we know where each other is at once - This is done through Apple's find friends app.

#4 is the most important one. Because the habit of many individuals has to be changed in order for me to get out. Which is not impossible but it's just a lot of work (teaching my senior parents android? not worth it imo). And this also comes back to having our group messages in iMessage and my family loves going back to reference something or look at pictures we send each other.

I think it's pretty easy to see that impersonation has negative consequences. How would you feel if someone impersonated you to your employer, family, or friend, and said something disagreeable?

I do agree that "They broke the rules" might not be a good justification for further rule-breaking.
"It took about three lines of CSS to write the grid layout I wanted, and I wanted to live in the bright and beautiful future where layout is always that simple."

This is so spot on. I've met many developers who tend to think Bootstrap is easier, but that's usually because they haven't experienced this part of CSS Grid. Just add a couple of lines and you have a very powerful grid layout.

I wrote an article on Bootstrap vs. CSS Grid a few weeks ago btw. Feel free to check it out:

I guess most people don't look at Magic in terms of liquidity and return.

Anecdotally, while most people I've met who played magic got into the game just like me, for fun, I knew one guy who dove head first and instead of buying enough cards to build a deck invested into having a good supply for sales and trading purposes, he used to make a good markup on them and eventually opened up his own shop, today is one of the game's biggest dealers and started dealing with magic cards around the mid 90s while only about 15, that is a good sign of being an entrepreneur in what was then a somewhat untapped market.
One of the things I like the least about all of these boxes (Apple TV, Xbox, Roku) is the need to type in a password in front of everyone in the room using a joystick or the arrows. The whole concept of a keyboard on a screen that's used by only 4 buttons reminds me of the parody onion article when they discussed removing the keyboard on the MacBook in favor of a click wheel. It doesn't make sense.
640k Really Is Enough for Anyone
As you noted, American culture, for better or for worse, has different norms around liberty that often contradict the written law, than HK and many European societies when it comes to individual acts of violence.

Poverty and inequality add stress to the communities' social structure, which is usually what promotes norms of not committing violence against neighbors, or those you perceive to be "others".

That sets the stage for the higher rates of assault, etc.
I've been actively in the MTG Market for over 10 years, selling and trading cards at http://deckbox.org.

As of last year, I started offloading my collection. It's been a good run, and I have had fun with the game, but the amount of product produced by Wizards of the Coast has increased dramatically along with the player base. I believe we are approaching a glut and the supply/demand curve is beginning to swing the other way.
Let's not throw the baby out with the bathwater. There's still plenty of excellent science being done every day; it's just not being written about in outlets like vox.com.

Flexbox is built for one dimension layouts (e.g. a header), while Grid is built for creating two-dimensional layouts (e.g. an entire page).

Use both and you'll get the best of two worlds.
I once had dinner at Montesacro Pinseria at night and parked a couple of blocks away....the walk to the alley where the restaurant is was interesting. I didn't feel unsafe simply because so many people were outside and there was lots of traffic but I still was pretty surprised that SF had areas like that. I joked with my wife , who was terrified, that it reminded me of CJs first neighborhood in GTAV.
Much of this is easily debunked in accessible books and even YouTube videos. The original Bolsheviks had indeed read their Marx. They knew that a revolution needed to happen not in Russia (which everyone knew was a pre-industrial state), but in industrialized Germany and potentially Britain. Merely decimating Russian society was never the end goal of the Bolsheviks.

Russia was considered by Lenin to be a staging ground for the more meaningful revolutions to follow. It wasn't until Stalin emerged as the Soviet leader that this strategy was abandoned in favor of "socialism in one country", where the exploitation of pre-industrial Russia was deemed good enough.

I doubt anyone would even describe Stalin's reign in religious terms (although his upbringing was deeply religious)...but just another manifestation of history's most reliable anti-pattern: the folly of investing total power in one person.

On 19 June 2011, a security breach of the Mt. Gox bitcoin exchange caused the nominal price of a bitcoin to fraudulently drop to one cent on the Mt.

The malpractice insurance issue would be much reduced if doctors, hospitals and medical organizations wouldn't stonewall legitimate claims. I know someone whose surgeon messed up a surgery. First they denied everything, then they refused compensation, then they hired private investigators to look for evidence that would discredit her. She had several other surgeons tell her verbally that the surgery was incredibly botched but no one would testify in court because they seem to have a code of silence if one doctor snitches on another he will get ostracized.

When you look at airplane crashes the investigation gets done in public and the focus is on improving procedures and not assigning individual blame. This is a much better way to handle problems.
I quit physical cards, and now play Hearthstone and other online games (I won't play MTGO until they fix their client, and they also take too much time).

Not sure if the wow factor should matter that much, but definitely digital is way more convenient.
Will remember that, thanks!
I apply the same logic but to website that has annoying ads. You annoy me, I go somewhere else.

I have the privilege to have content creators to visit, not the other way around. There is 8 billions potential visitors, there's can only be less than that potential content creator. Visiting takes no time, creating takes so much more time (if it wouldn't, well I wouldn't even read your stuff, I would do it myself).

> There's other ways to make money rather than tormenting your users.

Sure, but what does it have to do with me visiting your website? I'm there for a single reason, read what you got. Except if you directly sell me what you write using a paywall, if you have a sideline, than what you do is ADVERTISING, which let me remind you, you don't like (I don't either). At least using advertising on the side of what you read, the text is no longer an advertisement, just what's beside it (which is clearly labeled and clearly ads).

Since the explosion of adblocker and the effect was increased after the Youtube Adpocalypse, there is so much more sponsored content produced, it's disgusting. I can live with some of it but currently, it just becomes worse and worse.
Such a scientific article. Marx would be much proud.
Maks sure there's plenty of light when you wake up, preferably direct sunlight on your skin. That did it for me years ago when I had similar problems.
The biggest thing? Since arguably sometime in the 1930s the technological capacity has existed to store at least the brains of dead individuals at liquid nitrogen temperatures indefinitely, waiting on a future that can restore them. In a different, better world, the funerary industry was swept aside by mass cryopreservation, and the vaults of those who would one day live again would be now be vast. The biggest thing we get wrong is that we continue to equate clinical death to oblivion, rather than it being only the second worst thing that can happen to you, and acting accordingly.
However, more generally, if everybody wants to share ideas with you all the time, you have to apply a filter. It's just that in this particular situation, there was no need, and no polite way, to apply a filter.

That in the end he ended up with a good idea is just nice.
That may be so, but the widespread knowledge that most/all football players sustain serious brain damage was not there yet. Big hits that left the opponent slow to get up or unsteady on his feet were celebrated, on the assumption that he’d be able to shake it off after a day or so.

That said, I do think the destructiveness of football in knees and backs has long been known. I remember them being detailed when reading “where are they now?” articles in Sports Illustrated as a kid (I’m 30).
C String Functions in Swift – A Malloc'y Story
From a computational complexity standpoint, it's not even clear if quantum computing is actually faster. The discrete log problem and integer factoring problem aren't known to be NP-complete, so even assuming P != NP it's possible there are polynomial time algorithms for factoring and discrete log on classical computers as well. BQP vs. P is still, IIRC, unresolved.

Though, from a practical standpoint, I have a feeling that, regardless of how the computational classes shake out, the quantum Fourier transform will prove to be faster than classical techniques. And possibly Grover's algorithm, though its results are somewhat less dramatic.
That looks really interesting, thanks!
There's a cheap/easy/reliable hardware exploit now, so Nintendo has given up on patching things for the 3DS. In fact, their latest firmware even opens up a new bug.

What's interesting is that Bandcamp is relegated to a passing note at the end of the article, but the service that Bandcamp offers is better than almost any record label contract in the "good old days". You get a much higher cut of your profits, and you almost certainly keep the rights to your own music.

The downside in the new arrangement is that you're expected to do more of your own promotion. However, as your visibility grows you can hire someone to do that.

In terms of human connection, there's still plenty to be had in the act of performing music.

When it comes to starting to learn an instrument, I agree that there are fewer role models around than when I was young. However, popular music moves in fads. Where I'm from, guitar-based music was last "in" in the late 00's, I'm sure it'll come around again.

There's increased development costs on multiple fronts.

Common AAA engines don't support multiple platforms seamlessly, each platform has it's own input devices, asset formats, etc. that need to be supported.

When I worked on a team using the Wii U's Unity3D environment, Wii U builds required a special version of Unity3D, obviously needed to support the specialized form factor of the Wii U's input devices (I'm sure Nintendo has new guidelines on what each game has to support when Joycons are attached and detached). There were even guidelines on how the home button was handled across platforms or how long you could spend loading assets.

Not to mention many large AAA studios are using their own engines (Nintendo had a third tier of development tools reserved for them, that allowed native access and did nothing to support cross platform development) that aren't built to support the Switch without an investment that's greater than on the fairly similar Xbox and PS4.
The title is intentionally misleading; ignoring harassment is not the same as choosing not to mainstage the discussion through already limited presentation blocks.
At the end of the day, someone’s job is to schedule topics that interest the segment of their target market. Why? So that they can sell tickets, so they can pay for the venue, etc. etc.
If you force topics that don’t interest the HackerCon market, they don’t come back, even if the discussion is ‘for their own good’.

Just to add what others always mention: CSS Grid and Flexbox are compatible, CSS Grid lays elements in grid, while flexbox handles one dimensional layouts.

To create complex layout you need both and should be familiar with both anyway.

I think we are so familiar with css/html pain that we can't believe to see light in the end of the tunnel. :)

Cixl – A language inspired by Lua and Forth
I've seen both sides. The town I went to college in was heavily unionized. The majority of them were fine.

We once needed to hang a network rack in our building. It was on the unions work list for 6 months. We finally just did it, a grievance was filed, and the company was fined for having a non-union person do a union job.

This was sadly the norm at that job. But it wasn't anything too exciting - nice guys, too much work to do, company wouldn't get more of them.
No offense but I think you are doing it wrong if you can't recreate the movie experience at home. My father has the following setup:

1. 10ft projector screen (You can just frame and paint a wall for this, seriously)
2. Surround sound
3. Electric reclining leather seats
4. Popcorn machine
5. Coke machine
6. Located in the basement

This VASTLY beats out any movie experience I have ever had at a theater.

I recently converted my blog to CSS grid.

In the past I would have lazily used bootstrap as I've used that for over three years and know the grid inside out.

It was a touch intimidating at first. No framework!

But it is really quite expressive. It took me 12 lines of CSS to get a traditional blog layout that collapsed on mobiles.
There are some very rare cases where delivery date is more important than what you are delivering, but modern management seems to delight in generalizing this unusual occurrence to every situation. People do get promoted for having been able to deliver completely broken, useless and damaging solutions on time. If that’s the measure of project success you can expect dates to rule (even when they continuously slide). After all, if you are not a trained surgeon, and the only thing you are told is that a given surgery should last no more than X hours, guess what will be the one criterium for all your actions during the operation.

I love that metaphor.
