If you re-read carefully, you will see that absolutely nobody in this thread ever argued that Tyler wasn't responsible, nor that he shouldn't be charged with manslaughter. He is, he will most likely be found guilty, and we're all happy with that.

The point you misinterpret as "pro-Tyler" is that the police officer is probably co-responsible of the manslaughter, and should be charged in addition to (not instead of) Tyler. And this seems infuriatingly unlikely.

Or maybe you could at least wait until the 80 million or so Europeans murdered by their own governments in the last century fade from living memory. 60 million from Stalin, 20 million from Hitler, smaller numbers from lesser murderers --Franco, Mussolini, Kadar, Honecker, Ceaucescu, etc. -- plus the occasional freelance genocide, such as the troubles in the Balkans.

Note that this isn't counting the Europeans killed by wars between countries, only those killed by their own government or quasi-government entities.

About 400 Americans are killed by cops every year. At that rate, we'll surpass the European 20th century toll for being murdered by one's own government in about 200,000 years.

You underestimate the power of the MS Office. Or rather, the flexibility of MS Access, to be specific - it's not "just" a DB, it's a prototyping environment (with a rather unfortunate tendency to protoduction, but that's hardly MS's fault).

As for Excel and Word - those are 80/20 replaceable for LibreOffice or what-have-you (definitely for SOHO purposes: it will work, mostly), but it took over a decade of concerted effort to get there. Making a powerful word processor or a spreadsheet processor is orders of magnitude harder than it seems at the first glance.

This means proving that it is foreseeable that the police would arbitrarily shoot people, when called to an incident.

I guess it would be poetic Justice if the prosecutor used this case to prove why the police should be disbanded. If indiscriminate killing is an expected outcome from calling the police, what purpose do they serve?

This is so wrong in so many ways...

Not only is the "network" part of LN referring to the ability to chain multiple channels together to make payments several hops away if needed, but why would exchanges be the only one you could transfer to?

Currently on mainnet a VPN vendor is really the only major player, and it's expected that most vendors will have a lighting node, as all it requires is an always online server...

Not to mention that transacting over LN has no counterparty risk, and "keeping a graph of every connected wallet" is not an impossibility... It uses the TOR protocol which runs over IP, which are both the kinds of networks of channels you imply are impossible here...

Can you explain why only "public non-user-specific data" is suitable for basic auth over HTTPS?

For most SasS products, basic auth or an API key is going to be fine. In fact, a ton of SasS vendors do exactly that. It's also totally fine for, say, an enterprise API used by a partner or clients.

Oauth is a cluster-fuck of terribleness, a nightmare for you to work with and a nightmare for your consumers to use. If you do it, you will need to have excellent support docs and examples or have to hand-hold external devs to get it working. The only time I might start considering OAuth is if you want other apps to be granted permissions to use the API on behalf of the user, where you want some granularity of which parts they can access.

I'm not saying OAuth doesn't have a use, but it's awful, overcomplicated implementation means it's a huge time-sink compared to basic auth over HTTPS and I certainly wouldn't recommend it without a very good reason.

As I understand it, bitcoin is a ledger scheme. There no "coins" per se. Which means it's very much like how banking works in practice: everyone keeps their own books and leaves the credits and debits on them. Real funds don't change hands all that often, it's easier just to keep the running tally if you trust your counterparty.

Of course, trusting your counterparty requires you to know who they are, have stable addresses and so on.

No, the energy required is a function of the price, not the other way around.

The bitcoin network adjusts the block difficulty (effectively the energy required to mine 1 BTC) every 2016 blocks such that the rate of creating blocks is fixed at one block (currently 12.5 BTC) every ten minutes.

If the dollar value of energy required to mine 1 BTC is significantly less than the current dollar value of a bitcoin then it is likely more hash power will be added to the network by the bitcoin farms, further increasing the network's hash rate, and as a consequence the block difficulty and therefore the price of the energy required to mine 1 BTC.
Colonialism predates the Marxist notion of imperialism by 400 years.

When the colonial powers started to conquer the world there was next to no capital.

Not only did no one call it capitalism back then (the word had yet to be coined), but no serious scholar of economics, politics or history would call any pre-industrial economic system predominantly capitalist.

And by arguing that “people didn’t call it capitalism back then”, you’re just proving my point. You’re just redefining capitalism to be the antonym of socialism.

Yes, in a way. You can also use it to run code on data in S3 or other aws services.

For example I need to munge some data somewhat regularly, which is stored as json on S3. I can trigger it, and have about a thousand processes running in a few seconds, and my large chunk of json processed very quickly. I don't need to maintain any systems for this to work and it's cheap enough it's not worth me worrying about.

Though S3 select might supercede a bunch of my use cases.

One of my scariest memories of getting hacked (back when I was a total greenhorn and cloud computing was rare) was hosting Wordpress blog on the same server as our main site. It got hacked bad. We had viagra links in all our files and it was a total nightmare to cleanup. Upon research I found out that there is an entire market of people trying to find WP hacks and sell it online. God knows how big it must be now.

Anyway, thankfully now you can just host your WP blog on an EC2/DO instance and eliminate all risks. But always keep your WP database and instance separate is what I learned from that.

Hi guys!

One of the authors here! We hope you enjoy this much loved project we are building with our tiny team.

This is a love project of a team who failed at a startup. We decided to build something we love before getting back to our normal lives :)

I have worked in the faas/microservices space for years before but never wanted to build something like this (I thought it was too early to explain what we are doing).

Now with the advent of faas/serverless/lambda perhaps it's a bit easier.

Our focus is building something that enables service reusability and composability: no more writing the same login service multiple times.

We would also like to host other peoples low traffic services for free if we can (right now we can't because we are on a small server, fixing that).

Thanks

Stuff like this is really useful, although does miss some of the key benefits of Lambda-like services... the connection between billing and usage on a per-function basis, the ability to monetise your functions, the ability to scale genuinely on demand rather than with the lead time required to spin up new containers or VMs.

I will disagree on the "how do I disinfect myself" part - the only way to recover from this is to nuke the machine and consider all data it held compromised.

Yes. And this is impossible with smart contracts. You can commit fraud by pricing the asset, but you can't prevent the market from demonstrating its quality in real-time.

With smart contracts there would have been a housing bubble, but there would also have been an inflow of capital when the market-value of the majority of CDOs crashed below about 80 cents on the dollar.
The idea that businesses' sole loyalty must be to shareholders is not ancient, and it is not a long-standing central tenet of capitalism.

On September 13 1970, the University of Chicago economist Milton Friedman published an article in the New York Times Magazine under the headline "The Social Responsibility of Business is to Increase its Profits". You can find it here. https://www.colorado.edu/studentgroups/libertarians/issues/f... Much of the shareholder-only ethic of US business is based on that article.

Mr. Fink and his investment firm seem (to me) to be part of a movement to relax that single-minded approach to corporate ethics. Obviously a company that extracts every bit of value from its customers, workers, and host communities leaves them less resilient and certainly less loyal to the company. Uber's the egregious example, but there are plenty of others. Mr. Fink is betting that companies who don't extract everything will have a longer future.

It's worth a try. The Friedman approach has now been tried, and it's not working as well as some might have hoped.

Deescalation is complicated, especially when you are talking an entire nation. It does not help the matter to say that the caller is not responsible because the police are so bad.

I have had a class in conflict management. It never helps to increasingly vilify one side and say that anything goes for the other because of it.

That seems to be the gist of the argument most people here are making. It doesn't work, so that isn't how you gradually create less conflict in the US.

But rationality is seemingly not welcome here. Everyone wants to just crucify the police.

So I think I need to just bow out here.
> Can't they just help more directly to eradicate polio instead of paying a corrupt government to do it?

That's not how any of this works. You don't just go to a foreign country with its established health care system (and national sovereignty) and start building seperate health care structures through your NGO without government approval and ownership.

What you do instead is build broad alliances between the government, international donors and implementing agencies (which may include foreign NGOs). Financial and programming oversight is performed jointly by all partners.

This particular Japanese loan was part of broader international funding for Nigeria's National Polio Eradication Programme. The money was channeled to UNICEF and WHO to procure Polio vaccine and to improve related health care services in the country. The involvement and leadership of the Nigerian government is crucial to make sure you have political legitimacy and to create sustainable policy change and improvements in the national health care system.

We have adopted a different approach in Romania: we usually don't use diacritics at all on the internet. It's not that hard to read the original word (though, I've heard it's pretty hard for foreigners that try to learn the language to understand what are we writing without them). Of course there are few words where it's harder to understand the original meaning, but the advantage of using plain ascii outnumbers it.

We do have a local keyboard standard, just most of us don't use it when typing something that's not official.

edit: I'm looking at my driving license and car registration certificate, there are no diacritics and they are official documents.

Engineers are only those with an university degree from an university acknowledged to actually be teaching engineering.

Then if they want to actually make use of the title, get the credential, which yes requires an yearly contribution.
