So this is exactly how I got started on a silly Ethereum side project over the holiday. Truffle, solidity docs, and reading the crypto kiddies code is all you need. I'm mostly interested in how Ethereum and other blockchain technologies work - there's no denying that building a dapp is just a fundamentally different experience from building a web app today and that in itself is exciting.

I'm mostly not interested in anything financial. Decentralization, immutability, and a built-in way to pay for usage are the main features of Ethereum (possibly combined with IPFS) that get me going.
Mmmh, how peaceful it feels. Like someone turned Internet loudness off and the balance has shifted to life for a while.
It's not only dollars that have value. Lots of assets do, like company shares.

In the stock market, if a company has ten million shares at $100 each we say the company is worth a billion dollars, even though that $100 price is only the most recent transaction. We say that because if price times quantity didn't match what the overall market thinks the whole company is worth, the price would quickly correct until it did.
Investopedia should not be your source of truth. While you can get quality education for free on the internet in various subjects(math, CS, biology) - financial markets is not one of them.

Market value is exactly what the parent asserted it is, and the source of truth for that is your bank. If you are long 500k shares of AAPL and the quote is $100 - your bank will not consider you to have $50mil liquid assets. They know(and you should to) that starting to unwind a position of that size will decrease the market value a considerable amount.

Maybe an example will help you out here.... Let's walk through that AAPL example. You are sitting on 500k shares.

Step 1: Order 100,000 shares sold at market.

Step 2: Observe your average sale price is more likely to be $90-95 than $100.

Step 3: Order another 100,000 shares sold at market.

Step 4: Observe your average sale price is more likely $90-91 than $90-95.

Steps after this: same result, diminishing prices resultant from your sale(s).

See a trend here? The market value of your assets is decreasing based on the market's perception of value, not on the mechanical formula investopedia fed you. Your unloading of shares is going to decrease the perceived value, which decreases the price you can sell them for.

tldr; investopedia's advice on markets is barely more accurate than urban dictionary's advice on word meaning.
who cares. My business never goes down since it's email.

Sure! I happen to quite like blockchain tech and I think it will end up being very interesting and useful.

However I don't think cryptocurrency (at least how it's pitched now) is where it will end up being useful. Bitcoin/etc hype is basically the same as the early 90s hype over the internet - broadly accurate about the possibilities but utterly misapplied and misdirected.
Yeah, had me confused for a while. Easy to set with a group policy, though.

Still, could have been better communicated.
Monegro believes that this paradigm shift affects the way that developers should think about their applications: “The combination of shared open data with an incentive system that prevents “winner-take-all” markets changes the game at the application layer and creates an entire new category of companies with fundamentally different business models at the protocol layer.”

Ok, thin protocols + fat apps --> fat protocols + thin apps. Neat theory. But this is putting the cart before the horse. Please can someone ELI5 to me:

* What problem does the fat-protocol, thin-app paradigm solve?

* Why would anyone be interested in developing a thin app for my fat protocol any more than anyone is interested today in developing a thin protocol that I can put my fat app on top of?

* Why is thin-protocol, fat-app considered to be in need of fixing in the first place? I consider the fact that apps capture more value than protocols to be a direct consequence of the free market. Apps capture business value because they solve actual user problems. Protocols define ways to build apps. But frankly I don't see a great demand for new protocols, and I consider that reason enough for the fact that protocols can't capture much value. To say that that would change with the blockchain is IMO equivalent to saying the market has it all wrong. What am I not seeing?
A friend of mine works at a state facility where, as he describes it, it's impossible to be a manager without constantly breaking rules, because many contradict one another or violate the laws of reality. Result is that management is a nasty snake-pit where everyone knows which rules everyone else is breaking and they'll collectively point their fingers at anyone who tries to rock the boat (including, and perhaps especially, improving things), quickly getting them fired (or at least transferred somewhere they'd rather not be).

Perhaps significantly, management positions aren't represented by the state workers' union, which is the only thing (barely) insulating the lower level workers from that insanity.
I believe they kind of do.

IIRC they treat AMP pages the same as any other in terms of ranking, but since AMP is super fast, it gets a natural boost.

(obviously AMP gets other benefits like the lightning bolt badge and inclusion in the carousel)
Nice work, I really didn't expect anything despite Logan promising improvements time and time again via twitter. Excited for the GitHub sync (not import).

Also, the awesome SF hosting (SSL and a SQL DB included), much better than GH Pages IMO.
Exactly. One hand washes the other.
Rust is an example of a phenomenally well-designed language.

When I first started go, I was incredibly excited to start learning it. From everything I'd heard, it was everything I was hoping to find in a language. The more I started using it, the more and more its poor design decisions and the hollow defenses of these decisions by its community started to grate on me.

Rust, on the other hand, I was loathing learning. I'd already just learned go and was extremely disappointed with it. I really didn't want to learn something else in this language space that I assumed overlapped so much, and I really entered into it hesitatingly. But I am exceedingly glad I did — unlike with go, every day I used Rust I came to appreciate its design more and more. Features of the language seem to have been designed to coordinate and work with one-another, instead of all being bolted on separately without regard to how they'd interact.

On top of that, Rust has some of the most friendly, dedicated, and talented developer community I've ever seen.
It says to clear cache and restart. Now its sitting there...
> Early in the morning (Friday, September 19), a two-man PTS investigation team entered the silo. Because their vapor detectors indicated an explosive atmosphere, the two were ordered to evacuate. The team was then ordered to reenter the silo to turn on an exhaust fan. Senior Airman David Livingston reentered the silo to carry out the order and shortly thereafter, at about 3:00 a.m., the hypergolic fuel exploded.

Livingston died as a result of that explosion.

This seems tragic to me. I can't believe someone would "order" him back into the silo to turn on an exhaust fan. First, starting a fan motor inside of an explosive environment can be dangerous. Second, how could someone have such disregard for another person's life, that they send him into a room full of explosive gas?

Perhaps the stakes seemed so high, they felt the only way to stop the warhead from scattering radiation in a resulting explosion was to exhaust the silo.
How is this different from Superfeedr? What will be your pricing?
Honestly if they nail this 44% is small potatoes, this is a dying company with little to no future revenue streams. I'm surprised it didn't go higher.

I contribute by dedicating each friday or saturday to open source projects (not mine). I do this because in CS all of our work depends on another's, and each time we import a module, visit a website, or use a phone, we KNOW that another person dedicated part of his life to do that. My contributions are my "thank you" to every person that gave part of his time to create something that helped me, creating something like an "open source cycle" where I help other because someone helped me
This is simply wrong in the general case. While the speeds might be lower, they are still high enough to kill.

In addition the density of the traffic can be so high that just a single wrong step can decide your destiny every minute.
It is incredibly sad indeed.

Many reasons, a lot of them related to its ecosystem.

But the thing is, you just fell for my bait, thus proving my point. If we were countries, we might just start exchanging stern diplomatic notes.

And then a third country with a strong opinion on the topic comes along and escalates.

Blockchain Project Management in 2018 – Opportunities and Challenges
Good job. Github sync means you can host binaries on sourceforge and keep the source on github as usual?
typically these massive corporate incentives are just a part of the corporatist strategy of pitting all American cities against each other in order to get a company to set up shop there (look no further than Amazon's scheme from this summer accepting 'applications' (per-se) from different cities for HQ2 - many suspect this is just a scheme to force Seattle into more favorable tax incentives, etc which they previously were unwilling to offer).

Whether the city's leadership truly believe the corporation will aid them is up in the air, most of the time the city loses out, and the corporation leaves when the incentives dry up. If you're optimistic, than many city council members just get unlucky because it is 100% 'beneficial in theory and just not in practice'. If you're a little more skeptical, given this corporatist strong arming happens nationwide constantly, it is just the reality of corporations exploiting cities.
> Snap's fate was preordained because of the vice grip Google and Facebook have on online advertising.

Facebook has started selling ads in 2011 (previous years were covered by Microsoft deal http://www.nytimes.com/2007/10/25/technology/24cnd-facebook.... ) and had to face the grip that Google/DoubleClick, AOL and Yahoo! had on online advertising.

Google AdWords started selling ads in 2000, facing the grip of AOL, Yahoo! and DoubleClick.

How did those platforms gain prominence without aggressive antitrust enforcement?

The ones that do have a much better grip on what your average car driver will most likely do. A simple example: there is a road near my house where cars and bikes simply have to mix because there is no bike path. When I am cycling and I see a car approaching I will keep further right than non driving cyclists because I know the edge of road on the far side is soft and cars are likely to avoid that edge. Another is that I realize that if I can not see the driver of a car in his mirrors he likely will not be able to see me and I will adjust my behavior, even if it is my ´right of way´, such as when continuing straight on the same road as a car but on the right hand side and the car has a turn signal on.

JTAG connector is not that much different from USB at at stage... you just have to remove the case to access it or solder a connector to existing pins? I would call that hard brick... and if JTAG doesn't work, then it might be considered broken by some and need electronic part(s) replaced

It's like any sort of tech: the first version is too expensive and then the price drops some % every year until we all have "supercomputers" in our pockets.

Plain Solar Panel (non roof) installation has gone from $52k to $20k in the last decade [1] which is craziness.

The other aspect of this is longevity. Setting all solar power generation aspects aside an asphalt roof will generally last 20-25 years. Tesla roof tiles appear to last much longer (infinite warranty, etc.) and are maybe more comparable to a slate roof which would be 10x the cost of an asphalt roof.

As a reference point, I grew up in a house built in the 1920s and just confirmed via Google Streetview that it still has it's original slate roof.

I agree that the message was about how humans deal with tragedy, and as a technical community we often neglect that - but it is also correct to have the technical discussion.

Two things greatly increased the probability of a fatal incident in this case:

1. Mailbox across the street from the home: If the mailbox was on the same side of the street as the home, there would be less cause to cross the street.

2. High speed roadway in a residential area: 45 mph is much too high for a residential neighborhood; 25 mph is generally regarded as safe.

Absolutely!

Also, commonplace firewalls that are made to keep them away from porn, but track them, have serious false-positives, and are often trivially circumvented, giving a false sense of security.

Another thing that really bothers me is that Microsoft convinces practically every school to use their software by giving it to schools "for free", and convincing educators that there are no viable alternatives.

Children usually don't get any opportunity to use a computer freely, i. e. installing other OS's, or even installing software. This means the only opportunities they get are at home, and many don't have their own authority over a real computer at home, either.

It's commonplace for young teenagers to learn how to circumvent arbitrary "security" measures so that they can find liberty, but that isn't always trivial enough to happen. These barriers do more damage than good.
I've been around long enough to believe that it's not just paranoia to think that some of the responses on this thread sound like people with Google-specific self-interests ($), if not being paid outright by Google for it, are on here shilling for Google via words and/or votes.

I'm not sure I really buy that; Massachusetts is bigger than just Boston (which has plenty of "fast" roads, e.g. Storrow Drive) and has roads of all shapes, speeds and sizes, including a great deal of "sprawl" in the suburbs (~6X the population of urban Boston/Somerville/Cambridge) and half the state by land area worth of "exurb farming country."

IME, driving in Boston seems to involve the most potentially-deadly situations given the number of pedestrians and cyclists. Twice in the past year driving on Comm Ave I've had to swerve into the left lane to avoid hitting one, first a cyclist who blasted through a red light at an intersection, then a woman who, on her phone, dressed all in black at night, stepped directly in front of me in 30mph traffic, half a double-length block from the nearest crosswalk or stoplight.

If I had glanced at my phone, adjusted the radio, talked to a passenger or otherwise had less-than-instant reflexes in either of those moments those people might well be dead, or else severely injured. (Also, I and others could've been injured or worse if I'd swerved into another car).

When things like this happen, I start thinking how much we got some things wrong, especially things like chat.

Here I sit, with my colleagues, connected to the same network, with the same application open, but we cannot write to each other, because some backend server in the US have a problem.

How in the world could this not have been fixed yet? Our internet backbone addiction is seriously crippling us when things go sour. Not thinking specifically about Slack, but other more mission-critical tools that just... stops working because they cannot ask the time from their backend server.

We seriously need P2P systems (without blockchains please) that can be used by normal applications to solve issues like this. Offline and local network communication should be obligatory today.
I support this completely and I would go one step further. We need a search engine that is free of CPM-monetization practices. It has become clear that Google is driving the web intentionally in a profit-maximizing direction at the expense of users and ordinary developers.

Move ad blocking to the indexing layer. Create a corner of the web that is naturally fast and user-friendly again without resorting to corporate-defined subsets of well-documented open web technologies.
Really cool! Looks like some interesting stuff can be done with this. So I get to passively pick up updates from your channels? I wish there was more stuff like this instead of having the process be powered by people using a app.

No. You misunderstand what I said.

My unit is rent-controlled. However, the owner of the building has only increased rent twice, both being the max they could under the rent control limit. They just haven't continually increased it on an annual basis because apparently they haven't needed to.
Yes, thank you! This is the point I was trying to get across. In a sense, Go makes all abstractions shallow. Perhaps worse, Go makes all abstractions several times leakier than they need to be. While this is apparently something the "all code must be explicit" crowd seems to love, to me it means I can't just focus on the high-level business problem I'm trying to solve. Instead I have to get bogged down in the nitty gritty details of everything.
If anyone from Gitlab is listening: github sync is a really important feature for FOSS projects. Glad that SourceForge implemented it.

(In a large-ish FOSS project, we are trying to move to self-hosted Gitlab, but the lack of sync means that people have to fully buy-in or manually sync their extensions/modules, which is causing major friction)
Why not simply use IRC?
The calls to action are nearly impossible within the current app context. Here are some random use cases that advertisers would pay money for:

* A mobile install ad paying for a download

* A mailing list or newsletter, acquiring e-mail addresses

* An e-commerce shop selling goods or services, paying for sale or sign-up

None of these scenarios work particularly well within Snapchat. Given the payment hurdles on mobile, I am guessing the e-commerce angle is a pain for most mobile apps.

> Great, these who want to build these things will simply hire people who don't subscribe to this oath ..

Morally, this argument quite obviously fails because it could be used to justify anything.

Practically, we see many professions where people of character have successfully resisted temptation: every government employee who is not corrupt comes to mind.

And even if they'll just hire the next guy/gal: If you say no to an offer, you were, by definition, their top choice. That next one down the ladder will therefore be slightly worse, making such businesses less profitable.
