I think you're being too harsh. Right now silicon use is of course wrapped up in a loop of value derived from the coins being mined having value, but that completely disregards the actual value of the blockchains. An excellent quote I found is: "how to recycle what will soon or later be a HUGE obsolete distributed supercomputer dedicated to SHA-256."

The record of a private company’s shareholders are maintained by the company. If you try to buy shares in a prohibited transfer, the company won’t recognise the change of ownership. Forcing recognition would require the transacting parties to sue the company; this is frowned upon.

That said, yes, companies who block transfers tend to spawn clever financial engineerings. Because of associated legal and banking costs, these structures only make sense for larger trades.

What about the hundreds of millions car companies invest in safety features now? Would they not care about it and the endless industry safety reviews ratings had we not had seat belts pushed onto every car company in the 70s? Private companies invented the seat belt in the late 40s without any regulation asking them too. There is a strong demand for safety features both by pure sales demand and liability by the courts.

The revelation back then was exactly how dangerous cars were and the importance of safety practices. And it's good it was formalized in things like driver training courses and licensing which verifies people understand that before entering a vehicle. As well as advertising campaigns and other efforts to push the idea.
Yes. But don’t say that unless you want to end up on the pointy end of some pressure group's stick.

I've used Oxycontin before. I used it for one week, as prescribed, and it helped me recover from a painful medical issue. I'm grateful it was available to me.

For the photographer profiled in this piece to take zero responsibility for her predicament, particularly since she's struggled with opiod and other types of addiction currently and in the past, is absurd.

She's in effect saying, "I abused this drug, so other people should be barred from using it." I reject that full stop. Some people abuse alcohol, tobacco, marijuana, etc., but that doesn't mean that it should be banned.
I was reading that insulin response is more important than glycemic for storing fat. And surprisingly they’re not that correlated.
For this requirement to have any meaning, Montana would need to be able to enforce it (ie choose another isp). But that would show that the isp landscape isn't owned by monopolies. This would actually seriously undermine many arguments as to why net neutrality needs laws to protect it over what the market can do.

I wonder is if we will start to find out that maybe the isp market isn't as closed as we thought - wireless tech, more entrants, new tech - and those saying we need NN laws because the market isn't healthy enough will pivot to a more normative claim regardless of completion.

I am somebody who could easily be brought on board with specifically crafted NN laws, but see much of the title ii at all costs advocacy a little of the mark.
China Has Banned Hip-Hop Culture and Tattoos from TV Shows
I was pretty concerned by this paper but now I'm much more calmed down :). I think authors have jumped to conclusion here. In the two papers that they have cited themselves mensions that human visuals system actually filters out high freq components before transmitting signals further down the chain. The paper says the same thing: if you apply low pass filtering, network is more well behaved. So the expectations that network should consume high freq components and still be resistant to adversarial attacks is unfounded.
I thought that gun ownership in England was restricted to special types of police, i.e., the average beat cop patrolling an area or pulling you over for speeding is unlikely to be armed, right?

I don't get it, all the failure modes talked are not kubernetes specific. They happen if your running any ha database cluster?

If you have async replication with a large amount of lag, well of course your gonna lose data if master goes down if your not careful. Regardless if your using kubernetes or not...

Can anyone explain why these failure modes are kubernetes specific? They just sound like things you have to think about regardless if your running a HA cluster...
My personal heuristic is to always favor the positive collection, which comes from databases where retrieving a set of data is much easier and more efficient than retrieving a set of data EXCEPT THESE. I always figured there was math to back this up.

'wildly blue' is incorrect about the population centers. If that were correct the vote would have gone to Trump given how the vast majority of the population is in the cities.

This happens more often than not depending on the nature of the relationship/ticket. Source, my Grandpa was State Patrol, and my Dad carried his business card (I don't think they had official cards back then). I saw him use it twice, and both times it work. However, he has gotten tickets out of state, so it depends on the circumstances.

In the past it was just considered professional courtesy, and only applied to very close family members (wife/son). It wasn't an official thing. You would never have "gifted" it for Christmas to anyone, and sure as hell not to a politician/someone who wasn't family.

Surprised Netflix hasn't branched out into more content types or more dynamic content. You now have this two way communication channel seems kind of boring to not try and use it even just for mostly video content.

Some of their shows run 7+ million an episode. If you look at the development costs of simple mobile games and cut out all the stuff related to IAP it seems like they could create a lot of value for customers for pretty cheap by making some simple popular games without the IAP BS.

> Why are banknotes worth anything?

Until 1971 dollars were worth something because they could be converted into one of the thousands of tons of gold bars the US stores at Fort Knox (and elsewhere).

Then a magic wand was waved over the printing presses at the US Treasury and they began to attain value for no reason. This magic has now spread to Bitcoin, Ethereum, and even cryptocoins like Dogecoin, whose creator has stated that the coin was created as a joke.

If the dollar never needed gold convertibility, why did they ever have convertibility in the first place? Why does the government spend a lot of money to store thousands of tons of unneeded gold at Fort Knox etc.?

There is a magic to the dollar - because if a panic ever causes its power to wane too much, Trump only has to utter six magical words to let it regain its power - "the convertibility window is open again".

How many thousands of tons of gold, governments, armies etc. stand behind Bitcoin?

In order for your limit order to actually get filled if you do this, someone has to place a taker order that matches against yours and pay the GDAX fee on that. Coinbase still take their cut no matter what, all you're doing is making sure it comes out of the other side of the trade. If there aren't any less patient people willing to pay the trading fee, your order will just hang around until either someone does or you lose patience and pay it yourself.

Also, there's a risk that the price will move away from where you placed your order and it'll never fill, in which case you'd have to cancel it and re-submit the order at a worse price.
Uber Security Flaw allows attackers to by-pass 2FA by entering a random number
You literally cannot have an effective national security apparatus without massive amounts of protectionist economic policy that guarantees that the resources your armed forces depend on (and the resources those resources depend on, and so on) aren't immediately cut off when you enter a conflict. Every politician this side of Hammurabi has understood this basic fact of sovereignty and in this day and age of military mega-alliances, that kind of control becomes more important than ever.

With the way the electrical generation industry is going, it won't be long before solar panel manufacturing is critical to our national security.

The entire stock market feels like its in a bubble.
Netflix stock gained more than 25% in the past one month. Their free cash flow (FCF) has been negative every single quarter and will be for many quarters to come. Stocks trade based on discounted cash flow(DCF). Netflix however produces no material return for investors and still majority of the analysts keep putting higher and higher price targets, its like they are collectively pushing a hidden agenda. It's as if there is this new way of valuing companies that is not based on DCF.

Netflix doesn’t have discount for holidays. They recently up the subscription price. My bet is the increase has to do with the holiday effect (more time at home), and the fact more collections are added. A good number of recent movies are available online (Amazon, YouTube, Netflix) as soon as they leave the box. Though the mote interesting graph would be views. During major sport events I can bet there is a big dip.

The family subscription is a bargain though.
Best selling means they have the most volume under one name. It doesn’t mean most bread the average American eats is like that.

If you go to the average grocery store around here there is at least half of an entire aisle stocked with at least 20 brands of fresh bread from smaller scale bakers and even the store itself. And that’s excluding the additional shelf or two they usually have for national brand extra cheap breads like the type you describe.

Im guessing if you name the brand it’s going to be something I’m likely to find at a dollar store or a gas station as opposed to something that’s be in the section for fresh bread.

Fun fact: Walmart stores that don’t have a grocery section still carry bread, but mostly the type you describe.

Walmart’s with a grocery sell bread baked fresh daily in-store, and have dozens of types of bread from whole wheat to artisanal breads that you wouldn’t believe came from a Walmart.

But there are also countries like NZ, where private gun ownership is legal, but NZ police do not carry firearms (some have firearms, but they are locked in the boots of their vehicles).

In Australia and NZ, it's important to note that you must register each firearm and you need a reason. That reason can include pest control or sport, but it cannot be self defense.

I think one of the biggest reasons firearms are not registered in the US is because the gun industry and the NRA lobby against it to keep guns flowing into South and Central America. I wrote about this a while back:

I can name one potential case, pretty much the only ICO so far I still think might be actually useful - Filecoin. The idea is to use the cryptocoin to provide an incentive layer for people to pin each others' stuff on IPFS. You could technically use dollars for the same purpose, except the required micropayment infrastructure doesn't exist, and AFAIR (from reading the whitepaper), Filecoin has a nice, integrated way of ensuring the counterparty is actually rehosting your data - so together with IPFS, this has the potential to create a distributed, bandwidth-efficient, universal CDN network.

I say potential case, because while the goal seems noble, so far I don't see the tokens available, and it seems the project is still knee-deep in some mathematical and technological issues around the coin itself.

In a perfect world, I'd agree. However, I think the technical challenge is in the digitization and I'm not the most confident that the state could tackle it. I think a company w/ a financial incentive could setup a high quality restoration and curation process. But in the current absence of haste, I'll take anything for now.

It's possible, but they're still cheaper than HBO Now, Showtime Now, etc. I found myself spending more time in Netflix watching their exclusively produced content than from their 3rd party library over the last year.

"The answer is the state highway patrol -- the men and women that most people interact with only when getting ticketed for speeding. A number of the frames read “CHP 11-99 Foundation,” which is the full name of a charitable organization that supports California Highway Patrol officers and their families in times of crisis. Along with engraved mugs, jackets, and leather wallets, the foundation gives out the license plate frames as tokens of thanks to donors who become “Lifetime Members.” Donors receive one license plate as part of a $2,500 “Classic” level donation, or two as part of a bronze, silver, or gold level donation of $5,000, $10,000, or $25,000."

Police don't carry guns, except very specific units patrolling potential terrorist risk sites (i.e central-ish London). There are tactical units that can be called out, and are part of the police, but they don't patrol and are more like the SWAT than a "beat cop". Same for those very specific units to be honest.
Instead Ireland has soldiers with assault rifles. They guard banks, shops etc... I prefer civil police.

Let me offer a counter point. Every language I have used that has gone the route of "let the community make their own concurrency libraries" has turned out a mess; specifically Ruby and Python.

I thought those were so off-duty firefighters are able to respond to calls as-needed, no? They usually have their personal vehicles outfitted with those blue lights and the plates make it easy for any officers coming up behind them to see that they are legit and didn't just buy the light on eBay so that they could speed or do whatever on the road.

I could be wrong, but I am reasonably sure that's what those are for.

It wouldn't, according to accounting principles. It would be accounted for as deposits received, with a balancing liability for when the customer makes a purchase or withdrawal.

They would only record revenue when they charge a transaction fee, or any other charge/income that can't be used by/returned to the customer at their discretion. Revenue is only revenue if it doesn't incur a matching liability.
