Genuinely curious: How do you know a private key is stolen with a cryptocurrency? Is there some sort of secondary proof mechanism?
Not all keyboards are laid out the same.
True and it will be nice when MTA's check the chain - but all of my mail clients do check or at least complain if it expires.
tl,dr:

1. host them on the cheapest dodgy vps provider you can find
2. host primary and secondary on the same provider
3. use a free throwaway domain registrar
4. use the dns server software with the worst security track record

ML includes trading algorithms, recommendation systems, self driving cars, search, translation, asset pricing, etc., all of which are revenue generating.
You don't need to download the entire block chain to generate a receive address. You don't even need to download the entire thing to spend if you don't care about privacy. You can use vbuterin's python scripts to do the whole thing off public blockchain api's.
DNS doesn't require you to use a glue records though you can just provide name and the resolver will another query to figure the IP.

It's of course less efficient and probably you shouldn't do it, but DNS itself doesn't stop you from that.

As for authoritative servers what I did in the past is essentially working together with friends, I was backup name server for their domains and they were backup for mine.

There are also some free public DNS servers as well.

When you navigate to a custom protocol URL there is a popup asking how to handle it, it will show all the add-ons in a list (and maybe native apps too). You can select you're chosen one and tell it "not to ask again".
The most practical, logical, obvious move would to be to reimplement Thunderbird as an Electron app.

But of course that would be untenable for Mozilla because it would be admitting defeat to Chrome.

The problem is that Mozilla has no alternative to Electron. There are a number of false starts and head fakes, but none of them have any buy in or support or future.
We are great fans of your lego sorting spectacle and your comment affirms my belief in your engineering prowess. You sir, are awesome!
Just had a brief discussion at work about bagels that started with a complaint about how they're never sliced all the way through.

After a couple minutes of back and forth an epiphany was realized that if they were pre-cut all the way through they'd get jumbled up and then we'd spend way too much time rifling through halves to find a matching one.
Reminds me of Chaitin's constant:

> In the computer science subfield of algorithmic information theory, a Chaitin constant (Chaitin omega number)[1] or halting probability is a real number that, informally speaking, represents the probability that a randomly constructed program will halt.

> Each halting probability is a normal and transcendental real number that is not computable, which means that there is no algorithm to compute its digits. Indeed, each halting probability is Martin-Löf random, meaning there is not even any algorithm which can reliably guess its digits.

It looks like you can only get a cubic centimeter or so of image volume. Might be limited by how fast they can move the dust mote through the air.
Also ctrl-c does everything esc does in vim. When capslock is remapped to ctrl, its far easier and faster in most cases than reaching for esc.
There's no value in nitpicking. 99% of keyboards are standard qwerty.
While I agree on the expensive part (especially if you have multiple devices, 5 GB are ridiculous), iCloud it's not at all clumsy. Photo sharing, app sync and backups are so simple everyone I know can use it, whereas the settings on Android are imo genuinely clumsy. But iCloud is just a part of Apple's cloud services, and as far as I'm concerned 3.4 is way to high in a world where Google exists. At this point, I'm not even sure they realize how far behind Google they actually are.
Gnome/GTK and KDE both have keybinding themes that can be set to emacs. You can do it for GNOME/GTK from gnome-tweak tool. Otherwise you can use gsettings or edit the config directly. Just google "emacs gnome keybindings".
Decentralization and safer protocols are needed. Plain HTTP and even HTTPS are really not the best one could come up with. There are better alternatives, but using them is not always easy. So, thanks a lot for your work on making that easier!
Bingo - you would think in an industry like tech this would be the common belief. Head into the office on days when meetings/ in-person collaboration / brainstorming /planning etc is cirtical. Spend the rest of the time remote (which is realistically about 80% of the time). IMO there is no reason - especially in tech - you need to be in the office every day. I say 50/50 is a good starting point. Can you imagine the traffic relief not to mention the stress relief (and health benefits of this) if this was common?

This is especially true in the bay area!
I like bitshares and own some. But it's not decentralized. Its delegated proof of stake I think.
It’s a fair point because most of the story wasn’t about the DNC. But they also saw the DNC hack later on:

Together with another group of Russian hackers (Fancy Bear, also known as APT28), Cozy Bear is also held responsible for the cyberintrusion of the DNC. In April 2016, Fancy Bear accessed the Washington servers of the Democrats; Cozy Bear had done so as early as the summer of 2015. Once more, the group was caught red-handed by the Dutch, who again alerted their U.S. counterparts.

Nonetheless, everybody calls the displays in Star Wars "holograms". Smalley notes this, and the title is using the word in this colloquial sense. There is an unfortunate disconnect between the technical and colloquial meanings of "hologram".
No but you can charge more if you call it AI.
Yes, subaru eyesight can detect stationary objects and apply the brakes. However they say that a full stop is likely (but not guaranteed) up to about 30 mph. They aren't clear on exactly what the likely result is at 65mph, but some braking to help mitigate the collision seems likely. Which is exactly what happened with the Tesla.

This is awesome. I did exactly this for a course project in 2012. While the travelling salesman problem code seems to have been refactored out, I have a C++ library for SOMs and hierarchical SOMs that are attatched to some openGL code that demonstrates the categorization of RGB colors by label.

If you can excuse the embarassing mess of file structure, the core lib is here, buried among a dozen other pet projects from my student days: https://github.com/KyleGalvin/Typhoon/blob/master/Cpp/SOM.cp...

Actually GR makes both geocentrism and heliocentrism "true". One is free to pick whatever coordinate system is most convenient to solve a given problem.
I wonder if you could implement communism/socialism this way. If the supposed immortality of governments/pensions allows one to moneypump financial markets as easily as 'borrow at low interest, buy and hold and reinvest forever', what stops governments from asymptotically approaching 100% ownership of capital?
If you like to use the mouse:

In Terminal.app on macOS, alt + mouse click will move your cursor anywhere. I am not sure how exactly this works. It also seems to work while I am inside Terminal.app and logged on to a remote Linux system.

Those stats are one search away, but I have no point to prove. I am saying, for the record, that this is Jordan Peterson's stated explanation for why his audience is predominantly male, and the assertion that he specifically targeted them is false (unless JP is lying).

I certainly get the impression (though I don't have the data) that JP's clinical practice does not have the same gender disparity, so it is at least plausible that the medium is a greater factor than the message.
True. I didn't mention that because as you say you shouldn't do it.

A big problem with free/cheap DNS services is that (as far as I have seen) they do not support either secondaries off their network, nor being a secondary to some other primary. So you end up in an all-or-nothing situation where you either rely entirely on one provider, or you have to host yourself.
Except option as meta (terminal excepted). I just want to M-f and M-b through words and I cannot.
I follow similar patterns to you. One big thing for me is also looking up words and phrases. One thing I hate with a few mobile apps is when attempting to select text within something like a comment it instead just tries to manipulate the comment itself.
This seems to confirm my suspicions about Apple's software quality: it has fallen off a cliff over the past 2 years. I'm not sure what's even happening. iOS used to "just work", and now I have daily crashes and freezes on a brand new phone. I literally cannot use Snapchat and Tinder at the same time - it causes them both to crash. Turning off wifi and bluetooth no longer actually turns them off, and so I have lost all control over my own device's power usage.

I have been a faithful iOS user since the 3G, and yet the SE I just bought will probably be my last iPhone. Everything since iOS 8 has just been a travesty. Can anyone explain this?

I built an extension to make SOCKS as simple as possible without a bunch of scary permissions:

I'll probably be updating it in 59 to use this new API though. It almost completely removes the need for a settings page and should allow you to set all the complex proxy config you want using the firefox UI. It does seem to need a broader permission than I would have liked though.

MoviePass’ claims about its importance to AMC Theatres are grossly deceptive
The form is debatable, however their critique is not completely wrong. The diagnosis that at least a vocal part of the crowd here is finance-obsessed fits my experience.

More generally, some of the people I regularly interact with face-to-face are strongly focused on how they can use things for their financial advantage, while others aren't. Some even want to speculate with cryptocurrencies, which I consider gambling. I don't yet understand what explains the difference. Maybe a fear of running out of money to meet existential needs?

Anybody any ideas what makes seemingly very intelligent people so obsessed with money?
Sounds like it's time for a change to the state constitution. Everything is a negotiation:

"Because the state’s constitution bans any reduction in worker retirement benefits, the government’s pension costs will continue to rise as it faces pressure to pay down that debt, a squeeze that has pushed Illinois’s bond rating to the precipice of junk."
Sorry, yes.

As someone who's used WordPress for years as both a developer and a website owner, no you won't get a virus from it. If you use it as it is out of the box (or with vetted, popular plugins from the official directory) and update whenever necessary, it's just as secure as any other CMS can be.

What causes some people to have security problems on the other hand is usually either:

A: They've not updated for years/not at all, hence security vulnerability stick around right under their nose.

B: Their theme is poorly built and from some shady site trying to insert backdoors or what not for whatever reason.

C: They're using poorly made plugins (this questionable third party product quality issue is always the trade off for using open software/anything that lets you run your own code, and can be migitated by not downloading anything from dodgy looking websites).

D: Or perhaps that they've annoyed someone/some organisation with way more technical ability than you can practically guard against. Which again, is an issue with almost any script or program. A site based around 'hacking' could be run on the digital equivalent of Fort Knox, and it'd still probably be hacked every few weeks or so.

If you're reasonable about the software and don't do anything too silly, it's about as safe as any of its alternatives.

Can't disagree with the latter two points though. The latter's why reading Medium is basically a chore nowadays.

I do not think that metaphor holds at all, if "water" is open web and "chugging" means spending advertising dollars there.

I don't have a link on hand, but GOOG and FB captured something like 95% of digital advertisement growth in 2017. In other words, out of each new 1$ shifted to digital from TV and print, 95 cents went to duopoly.

And advertisers which are still "chugging" open web, installing more and more "filters" and "purifiers" (different anti-fraud and measurement providers).

People from digital media are talking about digital media crash. [0] Buzzfeed failed their revenue goal and fired 100 employees. [1] Mashable was sold for peanuts. [2] Business Insider, granddady of ad-monetized clickbait, pushing more and more articles under "BI Prime", which means paid access.

A lot of people were clamoring for death of ad-supported publishing on open web. Well, the future is almost here.

assets, like taxation power

Now we go straight from a misdefinition of "bankruptcy" to outright fabrication of "asset". Each of us may have earning power, for example, but that doesn't make it an asset we can legitimately put on a balance sheet.

And taxation power is constrained by the US and IL Constitutions and even US and IL law.

No, politicians sold out their taxbase by not reforming unsustainable and over-promising public pensions for years. The sooner they go away the better, no reason unions should be able to negotiate budget busting benefits, then run them poorly, and expect the majority of people without the sweet deal to have to bail them out while being responsible for their own 401ks and IRAs. Cronyism and special interests aren't just for corporations.

> A recent Freakonomics Radio show taught me he is a skilled Esperanto speaker. Esperanto enthusiasts generally belong to the more altruist type of people. This might or might not apply to him, but I considered this a sign he probably means well.

Let me get this right, your argument is bluntly 'all Esperanto speakers are nice'?

How utterly ridiculous.
I used to be a teacher in Baltimore City, and I used to say, it's the most stressful job that doesn't come with life-and-death decisions built in. I say "built in", because I did have to deal with the consequences of death outside the school building several times.

In any case, I really don't miss it. Some of my days were so insane that I realized at some point that I seemed to be subconsciously wiping my memory of it at the end of the day. Even as a founder trying to launch a startup, my craziest days paled in comparison.

Not saying my experience is anything like separating a conjoined twins or dealing with pediatric cancer, but just that I can relate to your thankfulness of having a job that's not that intense, by any measure.
I've used Upwork as a freelancer. The last part is false: they never charge transfer fees (at least in the US), and you typically receive funds in 1-2 weeks.
Until there's something like CUDA for AMD isn't this going to be difficult? I don't know the area well, just curious.

Personally, I like to have to control of my own comment system, as well as a user login setup and a bunch of other things that can't be done in plain HTML and CSS.

A static site is good too (and for many people it'll work fine), but a CMS built site is also the way to go for many other people. It's all about what they want from a site or blog really.
HN commenters are usually fairly thoughtful and level-headed. They have other problems (it's depressing how many HNers have clearly never met a poor person), but it's still much better than most comment sections.

I've not watched that particular video but weird conspiracy theories about postmodernism, Marxism and Jews have been a strong component of the right in the USA for decades.

What really is the difference between between ex-Googler James Damore and the young man holding the sign saying "Communist Jews behind Race Mixing" in the civil rights era. Both seem like respectable members of their communities. Yet both think that social progress is actually a plot by evil-doers to destroy society because that is what their elders have taught them.

You should probably be aware of the term "tone-policing," because I think you're very close to being directly accused of it.

In short, it's the social justice idea that:

1) people with the correct identities (LGBT, POC, women, etc) should be able to express themselves as rudely, angrily, or abusively as they like; and that

2) people with other, disfavored, identities (such as white men) cannot object to that rude, angry, or abusive manner of expression. If they do, it's an objectionable form of "oppression." Instead they must take the incivility, be supportive of it, and desperately and submissively search for some kind of positive meaning in the nasty statements. You see this all of the twisting around "kill all men."

However, IMHO, all of that is really just a tactic pushed by a bunch of assholes who want to be jerks to others and get away with it.
Open source voice assistant speaker promises user privacy
They're still out there in some niches. For example, quite a few gaming sites still have affiliates, which are basically the fancy equivalent of a blogroll with site quality and traffic requirements attached to them.

That said, they're certainly less common than they used to be, and that's something that's definitely annoyed me about the internet in recent years. Feels the culture of helping people out and working together to provide great content has been replaced with a 'me me me' type self centredness, where everyone only thinks about backlinks and personal social media popularity and anyone not in the 'in group' should be discarded whenever it gets convenient to do so.
As lovely as this diagram is, are there any explanations as to why these are the characters used? I know a few of them but don't see any overall pattern. Is there a logic to it, or do you just have to memorize it?

I've heard as much of the guy's message as I can tolerate, and he's a friggin misogynist. It's scary that his message resonates with anybody. It's a negative message with its own "axis of evil": Nearly all women, a nebulous group of superior men (pick any: attractive, wealthy, educated, lucky), and modern society in general. It comes off as the rant of a brat upset that women are getting closer to having equal opportunities.
