Functionally - yes. By definition - no.

A blacklist won't allow items that match and a whitelist only allows items that match. Blacklists include by default and whitelists exclude by default.

Since the regex needs to match to be included - it is, by definition, a whitelist. It excludes by default anything that doesn't match. It just so happens the net being cast is so wide as to be "all except ____" where a whitelist is usually seen as "none except ____".
Is your actual point that bitcoin should be worth at last a few cents just because the blockchain can be used for timestamping?

Unions in Europe doesn't work as in the US. There isn't anything like a union job. Everyone can become a member of the union and the tariff is negotiated centrally between unions and employer organisations. Germany have had formal unions since 1850 and strong unions for 100 years.

The same story can be told about the Scandinavian countries. Decades of unions strong enough to force employer organisations to establish central frameworks for wages, working conditions across entire sectors of the economy.
From a quote in the original article:

"However, it is equally possible that the enforcement officer’s zeal will not be appreciated, and the enforcement officer will come to work one day to find his locker has been moved to the parking lot and filled with dog excrement."
I thought that dumping was selling below the cost of production. But publicly listed big producers like JinkoSolar and Hanwha Q Cells have positive EPS for 2017, albeit not by much:

Further, the tariff applies to all imported cells, not just those originating in mainland China, which is odd if this just to counter unfair advantages that Chinese factories get.
If that is your definition of "steal", then bitcoin easily steals more (for small transactions)

I suppose that at some point it's going to become economically feasible to make integrated BPUs (...Bitcoin Processing Units...) and obviate the ASICs.
Haven't Bill Gates shown what these kinds of money could buy for billions ? isn't it a fairer approach to judge such things ?
It will certainly impact American solar manufacturing, which many people would see as worthwhile.
Arguably, this is why art is so valuable. You have to know what you're looking for ... You have to know someone

Art can still be valuable without such gatekeeping and often fraud-inducing secrecy. Art is intrinsically valuable in the eye of the beholder (based on whatever reasons attracts them to it).

One shouldn't have to know what one is looking for beforehand, as long as one recognizes it on sight and decides to acquire it. The serendipitous journey to discovering your taste or buying on impulse shouldn't be marred by anxiety over accessing the right gatekeeper. And contrary to popular opinion, art need not be expensive to be good or valuable.

You're right, but I am not sure this is the end. We are entering a "streaming content desert" where every content-maker tries to make their own Netflix. Consumers will buy subscriptions to the top 3, at best. Most probably won't go beyond Amazon Prime and Netflix. In five or ten years, when the data finally rolls in that these disparate services are not making anything, have shoddy reviews from hastily-coded backends, etc, content makers will come crawling back. Or go out of business and get scooped up by the larger media houses.

By 2030 I expect Netflix, Amazon, Disney, and Hulu will have bought up the struggling or failing independent content makers. The markets for content will shrink and consolidate around the big name streaming kings. Then we will wonder why we gave up a cable-free-for-all for an oligopoly. ;)

I recently switched doctors because I told her I wanted to do blood sugar tests after each meal and throughout the day to see how my food intake (or lack thereof, since I do IF) would impact my blood sugar. She literally sent me a screed about how I was an idiot and the mortality rate for people who do this type of thing is much higher.

(I realize I can just go to CVS and buy the tools to do it, but I do find all the options overwhelming and haven't had time to do the research.)

I'm glad to see this happening.
https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/news/features/face-masks-flu/

> McDevitt and his colleagues screened 89 volunteers, 37 of whom tested positive for the flu and were asked to provide exhaled breath samples with and without a surgical mask. Among the volunteers, 43% exhaled large influenza-containing particles while not wearing a mask, compared to 11% while wearing a mask; 92% exhaled small influenza-containing particles while not wearing a mask, compared to 78% while wearing a mask. In addition, they found that the flu virus was 8.8 times more numerous in exhaled small particles than in large particles.

From what I understand that suggests that surgical masks are only slightly effective. But that study only tests surgical masks that don't filter particles less than 0.5 microns, and not N95 masks which can filter out particles as small as 0.3 microns.

http://www.cidrap.umn.edu/news-perspective/2012/04/lab-study...

> A US-Chinese team of researchers created a simulated examination room with mechanized mannequins spaced 6 feet apart to represent coughing and breathing humans. They found that flu viruses floated between the two and were "inhaled" by the breathing mannequin, but that an N95 respirator sealed to the mannequin's face stopped 99.8% of them.

If that's accurate, it's pretty incredible. Out of paranoia I've sometimes worn surgical masks for viral transmission to the office during flu season, but it looks like I should be visiting Home Depot instead of Walgreens.
No, the much better way to do this is with a custom URI protocol handler, e.g. steam://launch/220, which has no direct interaction between privilege domains (steam and the website).
Yes, but what I was saying is that Google likely does not design the PHY and/or other such low-level components.

I am trying to point out that designing a NIC is not equivalent to designing custom ICs, unless you are also designing the ICs used in the NIC.
It's first mover advantage in the same way surviving is a first mover advantage. You're fine if you're profitable, but with constant improvements that won't be the case for long, unless you too start moving to new technology.
I don't think it is appropriate to blame doctors in the US for this. She was initially prescribed the drug in Berlin. The article mentions that she was in a high-risk group that should not be prescribed the drug, but it is likely that the European doctor was legitimately unaware of that.

"When, back in New York, doctors refused to supply her any more, she turned to the black market, and to cheaper hard street drugs whenever she ran out of money."

I think this person should take responsibility for her own mistakes, rather than trying to blame them on other people.
There are many costumers who do that kind of work routinely. I know people in the steampunk community who've done it.
Thankfully, their original content alone is pretty much worth the price.

I've enjoyed a lot of what I've watched but I've never actively looked for anything on there. It's all been random chance because it looked interesting while I was browsing. It wouldn't take many poor choices before I cancelled if there was any other content...
Maybe, or maybe not. Clothing imported from China didn't get expensive even after most onshore American clothing production ceased.
They're literally the ones selling shovels in the Bitcoin gold rush. Seems like a very good strategy. Plus, all the rumors they mine with the hardware a bit before selling, which I tend to believe because it's the obvious thing to do (you earn some BTC plus do the burn-in, which lets you catch defective units early).
If by "money" you mean Fiat USD, then they have to convince someone to swap their tokens for Fiat.

I imagine a lot of blockchain devs got rich off bitcoin so don't need to be paid anytime soon. They can hodl their new tokens for a while to see if they'll get rich. Again.
I guess some project (especially ones where work is done on a voluntary basis) have a different scale of value, that is it's more important to first have stuff work and then make it look appealing or making it usable by non-technical users.

EDIT: I think in this case a more interesting question would be: why don't people with a better aesthetic taste or UX knowledge volunteer for these kind of projects?
Sorry cant drop this one yet

Why is binary better?

With binary you need to worry about versioning, you need to worry about API support, you cant as easily verify the contents of what you're passing around - in general the industry has moved away from binary everything towards text based file formats (containerized like OOXML, or ODF), text based signalling (SIP, and XMPP) - I can go on.

While I think binary blobs have a place, I dont think they're a panacea to solve problems - I consider them an anti-pattern because they make the humans trying to troubleshoot when things go wrong much harder.

Ah, I see what you mean. Yes, I didn’t intend to refer to the bits themselves as items; rather I was referring to the bit-security.
The problem is that there is also a vanishingly small audience of people who want to watch old Italian films (or old films from anywhere, really).

The mass audience only cares about the new releases. This has been true since the dawn of home video; anyone who ever browsed the shelves of a Blockbuster store will remember how lopsided the selection was -- entire walls filled with copies of the latest releases, a few shelves with movies released over the last ten years, practically nothing farther beyond that. They didn't stock that way because they wanted to, they stocked that way because recent movies where what their customers wanted to rent.

Even universally-acknowledged classics are hard to market to the mass audience -- there are tons of people who flat out refuse to watch anything in black and white, for instance.
Personal opinion: I tend to find that the times when I end up using advanced Powershell features, I should have been writing code; and times when I don't I could easily have used a batch file.

It's too bad that the focus wasn't put on creating an amazing .net interpreter for the commandline.
It just shows that the police can more or less do what they want, which of course anyone paying attention already knew. Just another log in the pile.
If you don't like the terms of the shareholders agreement, then you don't have to buy the (private equity) shares. But if you buy the shares and sign the agreement, I don't see why the directors should honour illegitimate share transfers you attempt to make in the future.

You can if you want to try and plaster your name all over VR as a facet of soft lock-in and to arbitrarily insert yourself into every potential aspect of a fledgling industry.

Next they'll invent the 'Ocu-ternion', which is the same as a normal Quaternion but each scalar value is divided by a constant because...VR? Facebook? Who cares, the point is they own it.
On the last point: I wouldn’t starting my company in the Bay Area either, both the culture and the expense, but more so because I live in NYC so I have everywhere I need. For those, say, living in middle of nowhere, I still suggest look at NYC, Austin, Seattle, Denver and Boston. Plenty of opportunities.
You're thinking from the perspective of the miners.

From the perspective of the hardware manufacturers that's an advantage. If you're making the hardware and you come up with a 10% energy savings, everyone must now replace their old hardware or be left in the dust. Hardware manufacturers will make a killing. The prisoner's dilemma you are thinking of only applies to the miners, it's a benefit for the parties selling them the hardware.
Yup. Anyone mining on Nicehash has that loophole too now. Transfer BTC to Coinbase off-chain for free, then do the GDAX loop. Aren't market orders free, though? Don't need to babysit a limit order if you do and you get the spot price. Last time I checked it was, anyway.

You can get USD out of GDAX for free too using this. Well,
"free." You pay the bid/ask spread for the liquidity, which is usually very small, especially on BTC.

As for other strategies, use LTC to get into your account cheaply if Segwit isn't online, then sell the LTCBTC pair and repeat the above.
That didn't stop Larry Wall getting a degree in "Natural and Artificial languages" :)

I know that Xperia doesn't sell in the US. Assuming it sells elsewhere (Asia maybe ?), is the camera such a crown jewel for Sony to go through such lengths to punish their buyers ?
Convince me to Lua.
While Lua gets job done, as an outsider who dabbled into Lua (Torch, Love2D, ESP8266) I think Lua ecosystem have two major problems:

- 5.1 vs 5.2 vs LuaJIT. This is worse than Python 2 vs 3

- Lack of universal standard on how to OOP, etc. Python has PEP8.

Sometimes coding in Lua feels like Javascript, but more or less worse.

I can cope with index-1 counting (think like using Matlab), but other problems are holding me back.

This was pretty interesting actually. I thought you could still mine bitcoin with a GPU, just slower. I didn't realize the power would cost a fortune and you'd never find a coin.
As long as the service doesn't start sucking (like other monopolies and government services), I think there are a lot of benefits to being able to stream through an established player: it's not just about licensing all the content people want to watch. Supporting a lot of devices (I care about Linux support, A LOT), having agreements to cache content locally with ISPs to ensure performance, etc. I wouldn't mind having a different 4-5 apps for different shows, or switching services every few months. But if everyone went solo and they were all still figuring out how to support everyone's device and how to scale? Not gonna bother.

Generally in the case of something that says "updated guidance" or is intended as a follow-up to something earlier, it pays to understand what the earlier communication was. The earlier guidance was to apply a firmware upgrade. The updated guidance is to not apply the firmware upgrade.

I'm happy that at least one country has unions that are going strong. It seems that in the UK they self-destructed (Thanks, Labour party...), and the US has never really had strong labour unions.
Why are banknotes worth anything? They are just pieces of paper with some ink on them, after all. They are "worth" something, because people are willing to do work or trade you stuff for them. The same with mining bitcoin - instead of printing banknotes, you make a "thing" that you can then trade for services and objects, because people want to have that "thing"(this part is crucial). Most importantly, people are willing to trade that "thing" for real actual dollars, and hence the mining craze.
> "some people are wasting a lot of electricity, and you should pay them for it!"

Hard question to answer. Is it a waste? Compared to having one centralised miner plodding along at zero difficulty, yes. But it depends what new tech/ideas comes out of all this blockchain stuff. Are particle accelerators a waste?
> Note to content providers: I'm not going to have Disney, Netflix, HBO, CBS, Hulu, etc subscriptions. It's just not going to happen.

The history of cable TV, in which people happily paid $100+ for a bundled content package, suggests otherwise.

My guess is that eventually streaming content will go the same route. When the providers realize that there's not enough dollars out there to support everybody having ten $10/month content subscriptions, they'll start merging and there will be a race to see which one can put together the first bundle that most people will consider "good enough."
We are seeing it. I pay for a ton of stuff on Newegg using BTC, and Bitpay is being adopted at a ton of places, particularly those that serve Wordpress-powered shops due to a simple plugin.

Bitpay's switch to the payment protocol interface sucks, but it's workable enough and hackable if you know how to run a script. For everyone else, it's easier to use, so that's good in the long run.

If you're expecting to go to Target or Walmart and see adoption before you declare it good, I don't know what to say. But cryptocurrency purchasing is rising on the Internet, and if the Lightning Network does half as much as they want to, then it's in really good shape.
> Mining new bitcoins makes transaction easier

No. As long as at least one person is brute forcing hashes, transactions will be processed at the same rate of about 10 tx/s.

I also highly recommend Startup School, also provided by YC:

https://www.startupschool.org/

That's what helped me get my most recent project ready:

https://projectpiglet.com/

I'd describe it almost as a "startups anonymous" group, where you have a mentor who's went through a startup, weekly talks, and a group to help you get off the ground.

In regards to the resource you've read, I can only tell you what I have seen. To some extent, the viability of your business comes from the team and future vision. You have to vet with customers, know the space, be excited etc.
Does this "$1B in revenue" include the $ that customers have deposited in order to buy cryptocurrency?
The risk of total loss isn't 10%. That's just the risk of total loss due to literal theft.

There are many other ways that an ICO could result in total loss to you. Just as a back of the napkin estimate, it used to be conventional wisdom that 90% of startups fail. I'd say that's a more reasonable lower bound than 10%.

If you think pittance bribes from oil companies is enough to sway Trump, you're likely mistaken. Realistic valuations put him at around $2-3 billion, and a large majority of his campaign was self-funded or from small individual donors. No petrol donor will be able to discreetly donate more than he can make just having a portion of his wealth track the market.

There's a lot of things to be said about Trump and economic protectionism, but saying it's entirely fueled by donor pressure is oversimplifying the situation.

It's not an either or situation though.

No one is saying that sharing a common language prevents fracturing, only that it helps promote national unity.

In a nation as large and diverse as China, linguistic unity can act as a powerful unifying force. Canada and Belgium have struggled in recent years with bilingualism.

Prosperity minimizes the tension caused by multilingualism, but in times of economic hardship these tensions can become magnified.
I wonder if rust could be transpiled to somewhat idiomatic C... It should be easier than the other way around.

Shareholders in a Delaware corporation are legally allowed to sell their private shares. The general exemption for this is Regulation D. Most restrictions are of companies’ construction.

If you mean Samuel Brannan, then you make money by diverting church funds to pay violent gangs to establish and maintain a shovel monopoly. Then you lose it all to a real estate crash and a divorce.

So the real lesson is be immoral, break the law, diversify and don't get married.

It's not like he is the only one who thought of selling shovels with huge markups.

A good global VPN service and some DNS tweaks will unlock a ton of streaming content.

it seems unreal to most Americans as well. it's not a practice that's widely known, as the article says.

if the cards are given after a "donation", the donation is to the labor union representing the police officers, rather than to the force itself. the unions sometimes engage in charitable activities in the area, so there is at least a pretense for making a donation.

the article also talks specifically about NYPD, which while technically a municipal police department, probably shouldn't be seen that way because it's so huge. indeed the mayor of New York describes it as "the seventh largest standing army in the world".
Interesting. So what would the "knives coming out" look like?
