Minimum wage laws are not universally praised, those from the Austrian economic side would disagree with that statement. The minimum wage is as bad as licensing for hair wraps, it is a program to drive undesirables out of a market.
I haven’t seen this reported, but seems really interesting to me. I just spend five minutes googling trying to find the actual memo, but came up empty.

Sorry with such a dumb request, but if you have the link ready I would appreciate it.

Edit:never mind, I tried some more using “screenshot” instead of “filing.” I found them.
And you don't know, can't know which it is since they can remove the device from your presence. So you have to assume the latter.
The effort into this I must say (I speak as someone who came from the Philippines and knows the language by heart) is quite impressive.

But for someone who is used to coding in the English language and syntax, they may find some of the wordings harder to understand and apply.

> Doesn't SSL have an increase in bit size too?

Recommended bit sizes for a given cipher do increase but only very gradually, since the attack cost is exponential in the number of bits. 20 years ago 1024 or 2048 bit RSA was standard; now 2048 is recommended as a minimum for extremely high-value and long-lived keys (i.e. CA root certificates) but that's all. Host key lengths are actually shorter these days than they were 10 years ago, since algorithmic improvements (elliptic curves) allow the same level of security with much shorter keys.
Ah, gotta have the requirements to get things done - right, I’m with you on that one. Where would all software dev be if we didn’t have requirements? ideally printed out and distributed in neatly packed binders.

No, the web, surely.

Not the first time we've seen a non-linkable 'web page'. The website of the 2012 Olympics in London didn't ban linking, but they tried to attach terms of use to linking to their site - https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20120713/12025919694/olymp...

I’m not sure of the guide referenced, but I traveled in Russia extensively not long after the fall of the Soviet Union. Based on the advice we received, don’t do stuff like take pictures of government facilities, bridges, airports, etc. Don’t attempt to be discreet in your photo taking when you do take photos - hold your camera in plain view as to not appear you’re attempting to hide your activities. Don’t take pictures of things that might have the possibility to show the country negatively such as a dilapidated buildings, street beggars, etc.

Also, not directly related but be incredibly careful around military installations, and be aware that many strategic military installations are not clearly identified with signs (if you’re walking in a forest and hit a chain link fence don’t climb it).

Stuff like that.
One possible way of dealing with high transaction fees is to deposit more money into an account with a retailer, and then use money in that account to fund purchases over time.

For example, transaction costs are too high to reasonably pay for a single cup of coffee. But if you know you buy a cup of coffee on a roughly daily basis, you could put down $1,000 worth of Bitcoin, get an anonymous gift card for that amount of money, and then use that over time to pay for individual coffees.

But that really raises two questions: why do you feel the need to use a semi-anonymous, public-ledger currency to pay for coffee at a shop where your status as a regular makes you recognizable, and why is it worth foregoing interest plus the risk of not using the entire gift card for the privilege?
The same could be said for almost any art piece.

It's not about practicality.
I was about to add this. It's "chi-yaa" almost all over the mountains of Nepal.
One thing that'll help prevent this sort of confusion is the upcoming change in Bitcoin Cash address formats (https://gist.github.com/DesWurstes/bba4222c8b6253b940096fced...). Assuming clients check that the BTC addresses are valid, they'll reject the new BECH32 BCH format.
This is what Bitpay does.

You, the merchant, can accept bitcoin (and other currencies) using Bitpay's payment system. Bitpay immediately credits your account with USD. No risk of long-term (more than a few seconds) price moves in BTCUSD.

The downside is that Bitpay, like every other authorized cryptocurrency "bank", is crippled by KYC/AML regulations and cannot process all the applications they receive for new customers.
Calling the NYT the "left" makes about as much sense as calling the Catholic church the "left". The NYT is capitalist first with a large dose of liberalism second.
My guess is that it depends on whether you look on marriage as a religious custom or a legal custom. I can understand people not agreeing with it in the religious sense (as their special book says so).

Personally I say give everyone the same rights (i.e single people) and a large part of the problem would go away.
I agree there is certain period in one's life retrospective actions and corrective measures should happen. There does cause harm to not getting out of it and put them in practice. I had such a period as well learned everything you just said above. I even thought I'm somewhat enlightened, but when I put myself in test, I have failed. Then again, failure is still part of corrective actions. One never stops learning and self improving.

Things you must know before you can understand Meltdown as a developer
Fear of dying is just so distant to me, I don't understand why people make such a great deal out of it. That doesn't mean I have some suicidal thoughts, in contrary I love my life. And I am an atheist/agnostic, so there is no magical fairy tale land after this life, nor does the wheel spin one more time. Just this time we have now, and that's it. And it's perfectly fine and correct way of things.
Only exception I would understand is fear of leaving behind people who depend on you, especially children - but I don't have the impression that is what fuel most of the fear.

I believe in mankind, as long as I give a bit of positive energy/actions in it and leave things in a bit better shape that's enough. Anyway we achieve some form of immortality via our kids, have to work hard on this topic since I believe I can be a good parent and provide loving environment for them.

I guess it helps me being active in potentially dangerous sports and activities (climbing, alpinism, paragliding, diving, ski touring etc) where you are facing your built-in fear of death on very regular basis, and being successful in it lies in great part in constantly overcoming that fear in smart ways. Of course I take great care in doing stuff as safely as possible, within unavoidable amount of risk. But if you are 100% safe and have really everything under control, there is simply no adventure.

When I compare to my fiancee who is hardcore catholic and should logically look forward to meeting her creator and master of it all, she is way more afraid. I presume emotions > rationality even long term.
Just don't forget about it if you're writing something about Dijkstra in vim.
Yes Bitcoin Cash wouldn't have to exist if the original bitcoin just accepted the 2x blocksize increase. That would have given Bitcoin one or two years more time until scaling becomes a problem again. That's enough time for Lightning Network to be completed.

> Blacks are not equal to whites. Therefore the “inequality” between these races is expected and makes perfect sense. (This also explains why progressives are unable to come up with a black martyr who was not killed while committing a crime.)

I'm about to step into a minefield here, but whatever.

So the black martyr thing I don't really care to touch since that's pretty unrelated to the other statement of inequality between races.

It seems you are calling that statement crazy. If it makes you so uncomfortable to think about black people (on average) having a lower IQ than white people. What about black people's domination of most sports? Is there systemic discrimination against white people in basketball and football? Or could it be that there are more black people who are more well suited to play these sports than whites?
If I had to pay $1 per month for every website I visit daily on top of my comcast subscription, I’d need to sell my house. Ads are fine, the real problem with social networks is privacy. I’d pay for privacy if they’d offer some sort of sandbox account.
That's based on one current implementation of a gaming DApp.

It's worth noting that you can achieve semi-privacy through either on-chain/off-chain hybrids, as well as some other emerging efforts.

One example I've been playing around with is to use the multi-address approach:

In your database each "player" consists of multiple addresses each which are OR-multi-sig wallets, for various inventory elements and stats.

When they log in via a system like metamask, their main wallet (PlayerID) is unlocking an account which in your games database (off-chain) ties together another set of "master wallets" together with you've given the player private keys for - for each item, or each set of X items, in the players inventory you are setting up a new smart contract that is a OR-multi-sig wallet.

For this wallet, which holds the item, there are two possible signatories the first being the game's main contract, so that the game can add/remove items from players based on game events, and then one of the players private keys.

While you'd likely need a custom fork of metamask to handle the multi-key environment, you've made a system where:

* Player's inventory cannot be know from one private address.

* Player's retain full control over the items.

* Player's have private key access to the items in case the service goes down.

* You store player data off-chain, but in a way that your service is not crucial to the game.

* Player assets can be traded off-game without updating the game service.

* Data about individual items is still public, and does not need to be obscured, oraclized or stored off chain.

The current blocker isn't any specific blockchain technology, but just having a good multi-key management UI for users.

I found Facebook’s idea of what my hobbies are to be particularly amusing: https://m.imgur.com/nWCWn63

It’s unclear where they got those from, or why those are even allowed to be considered hobbies.

I don’t use Facebook much these days, but I’ve had an account for nearly 13 years, I use Instagram regularly and they surely have lots of tracking pixel data on me...so I was suprised at how poorly they’d inferred my interests (the other categories were less farcical but not especially accurate).
Don't speculate, it adds nothing but confusion.

I said "almost" because I happen to be a person who pretty strongly agrees with Austrian economics. I'd think that linking a mises.org article might hint at that pretty strongly.
The companies do not need to raise prices, they have a few strategies to take:

1. Keep prices the same and hope to make it up on the increased traffic if competitors increase prices; employment costs stay the same.

2. Keep prices the same; adjusting the costs in employees to offset the higher value they must be returning.

Ah, address fields, the mine-field of l10n.

Japanese addresses also have format not similar to US/European ones: http://www.sljfaq.org/afaq/addresses.html

Google Contacts seems to solve this by just having a big textarea for you to write your contact's addresses, and I guess showing that address in Google Maps is done by just sending the whole thing as a query against their Maps API.
But human intelligence is clearly much greater, isn't it?

I think I'm going to say that "greater" doesn't really fit. Specialised in a different way, yes. I think that trying to apply a single value on a single scale simplifies it to a nonsense.

How are you measuring this? How are you coming up with numbers? A Clark's Nutcracker can remember the location of tens of thousands of hidden pine seeds over a 15 mile radius and find them even though it's now a snowy winter and the seed was buried months previously. Clearly, this bird is smarter than pretty much every human I ever met.

A chimp (at least one chimp) is better at remembering random numbers than a human (at least some humans, including a memory champion); https://www.sciencefriday.com/articles/are-humans-smarter-th...

It's usually about this point the guy on HN who claims animals can't think because they have no formal spoken language turns up.
The reason why you can't have this conversation in America is because this is the factual basis of Socialism. To put it in terms Marx would understand: explain what material conditions of the antebellum south lead to slaves being 2/3rds of all capital investment in the US.

At which point it isn't a discussion about good or bad, but about class power in relation to the means of production. If the tractor had been invented in 1820 we could have well had a Northern slavery based sweatshop based industrial revolution and a south free yeomanry based agricultural revolution.
This will make for an excellent premise for a post-apocalyptic story, where eventually the organic biomass starts being over consumed. Basically "Soylent Green" but with cars.

What masses of historical evidence? The ones that show that being a male has long been a major disadvantage in a legal system? Yes, going back into the past being a minority was even worse than it is today, to a point where there was absolutely no justice at all, but that doesn't have an impact on the line of reasoning used to try to say the legal system discriminates against women.

This type of response only further reinforces the notion that the underlying reasoning and terminology is created ad-hoc to justify existing notions.

tl;dr - I made it about two paragraphs in before I started skimming. It's a rambling an uninteresting rant against the self-help industry, which ends with a recommendation for another self-help book. I fail to see what point the author is trying to make.

What is life but a struggle to become the best person one can be? And who cares if the quest kills us? We're all going to die anyway. What else were you going to do with your short life?

I can't say I'm familiar with this "self-help craze", as the author calls it. The only "self-help" book I've ever read is How to Win Friends and Influence People - an oldie which I can recommend.
As a long time software developer and manager, it is unimaginable to me that they had not done proper analysis of the risks and had mitigation strategies in place.

>False fakes--and a wisely designed system would probably say "probably fake" in the first place, not outright "fake"--are less damaging than false truths overall.

That depends on what your goal is: to discover groundbreaking truths (which are almost always considered taboo/false at first) in order to improve society, or merely attempt to cover up apparent falsehoods as damage control.

In the latter case, such a system would be highly prone to enforcing the prexisting biases and prejudices of its developers onto the users, making it much more difficult for them to discover truths that the developers are ignorant of.

True, but in our current regime in the US, it seems that both sides assiduously ignore technocrats in nearly every field. I think this is because the magnitude of our problems has been calling for large scale change in several related fields for some time.

Of course, the trouble is that the technocrats are supposed to tell the government how to do something, but we seem to have fixated on actually doing nothing while looking busy. Our government would rather not change, in spite of all external evidence that we should.
