> cryptocurrency is not an issue for the tax office

The IRS budget is limited. If enough people try to flout the law, it could become burdensome. We may require a tweak to the Code making individuals who seem to go out of their way to make life for the IRS difficult liable for the investigation cost they foist upon the public (if it is found they evaded taxes).
Well, if you can't be arsed to do some research, follow instructions and combine N things to make something really good, and think it's better to buy ready-made things, you can stick to eating microwave meals while I'm having slow roast tenderloin with butternut squash and sweet potato mash. But don't try and tell me yours is better.

This was a really cool write-up. High-frequency trading seems to be a really interesting world for programmers who want to get the maximum possible performance out of their hardware and understand every layer of their stack on a minute level.

Does anyone have other casual reading material on the subject that they can point me to?

Agree: I have similar performance issues with Google Inbox. E.g. I'm unable to attach files sometimes, and the interface is terrible. Still, I've switched to the new FF as my browser of choice and with the exception of those few sites it's great
I doubt their scheme for dodging taxes would be effective. You sold your bitcoin for $15,500 to B? Ok, show me where it went into your bank account. You didn't make a $10,000 gain when you sold a coin for $25K? Ok, where did this extra $10K in your bank account come from?

On top of that, for Bitcoin itself the scheme would be especially clear, if you don't make good use of mixers, since it'd be the same identifiable coin moving around.

Still, if someday we're running a large part of the economy on strongly-anonymous cryptocurrencies, we could always tax things we can track more easily. There are all sorts of options, and some, like carbon taxes, would be more beneficial anyway.
We had a big revolution in management a couple decades ago when we realized we couldn't just work people like robots. Why are going back full circle?!
It was never that slow as some people declare it to be.
People tend to talk about that which is both trivial and emotional and will derail a discussion in that direction on the slightest opening. This is not peculiar to how Linus Torvalds gets treated. It is the default norm for human behavior. Talking about things with actual consequences is often decried as political and deemed not appropriate for civil, intellectual conversation.
Dang! Looks like Tab Hiding API didn't make it for 58.
I don’t agree this article is bait, but I listen to the podcast and I do like that it’s recorded long enough after the article to factor in some of the responses. It’s a valid strategy (and a good micro-example of his aggregation theory.)

We do have support for macOS and Windows in Runner, though you'll have to run them yourselves. We're looking into offering hosted macOS and Windows Runners for the future, but we have no solid timeframe for those right now. https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/infrastructure/issues/3183
Yeah! Sorry for that, FloydHub has got some errors at the moment and my progress wasn't stored anymore.

You can check out the code here:

It works! I got the models up to the point where FloydHub stopped working. Leave me your mail or something and I can write you to let you know when I upload the training model again! :)
Say, I got myself a credit card number of someone from Toronto, Canada and I am checking out through your system using a botnet-based Toronto exit node.

Similar scenario, but this time I am an actual owner of that Canadian credit card, but I'm using Tor (or VPN) with an exit in Romania.

Can you elaborate how your 200+ variables will be able to block first and allow second purchase?
I think any of these all-in-one solutions will eventually hit a wall. I've used integrated VCS/CI/Issues for small-scale projects and static site generation and it's very handy. But any substantial enterprise project is going to need Jenkins and JIRA before too long.
Unfortunately, the world could care less about what you personally accept.
++ exactly right

- Collect as much as possible

- Figure out what features are worthwhile

- Focus on those features

Our competitors have an extremely narrow lens into all the data around a transaction. We've found things that they'll never find or even have access to in the first place. Blog posts to come here as well.
Hence “plain VMs”. EC2 does offer other things under the umbrella, but if OP has tried GCE and is considering Hetzner he’s clearly not using those, so he’s wasting money every month.

Victoria is a better target city. Vancouver is sheltered by Vancouver Island where Victoria is considerably more exposed.
Yeah, that was my thinking: how is this doing anything other than a PID controller? Glancing at the paper it actually looked like a PD controller, but maybe I missed some feed back where it could accumulate an integral term as well.
> More likely, the United States would take a tougher approach and attempt to ban cryptocurrencies.

This article is pure conjecture.

If the government has an opportunity to collect tax revenue, it will. Collecting tax on cryptocurrencies is theoretically straightforward: Require exchanges to report in the same way stock brokers do, or they're banned from operating in the US. As an investor, you get taxed on your realized capital gains / losses.
If the benefits would split 20 ways, collective bargaining might work. But it doesn't seem that they would, especially given the geographical dispersion of the finalists.

Regions (such as US Northeast, or Nashville - Atlanta - Raleigh) might be able to assemble a useful coalition to share the bennies and any pains.

Not sure if BOS and NYC wouldn't stab each other in the back.

Bitcoin transactions are not anonymous, but services such as Satoshi Dice do break the chain of transactions. Also, exchanging between various crypto currencies makes money very hard to trace.

Unfortunately it's not a part of many curriculum. A lot of CS tracks seem to shy away from hardware.

For contrast, the bioengineering track at my state college did include electronics (along with programming, high level math and of course biology and chemistry).
You can!

Also relevant, there are no functioning democracies in the world today. There are a bunch of republics and parliaments and representative democracies and such, but without exception they empower some relatively small central institution to make broad, sweeping decisions on behalf of the nation.
That's a good point. Then there's no mutation advantage to the organism for the payload filter to attach to new binding sites.

The organism will infect everyone and any increase in its virility won't make the payload any more likely to affect unintended targets.
There doesn't have to be. It could just pass references to memory addresses of the object, or even just a copy of the raw binary data. If both the passer and the receiver understand the class of the object, then there is no serialization/deserialization necessary.

rbres, first off, thank you for sticking around and answering our occasionally snarky questions.

Second, what is meant by "Amazon-like checkout?" If that "YOUR BRAND" thing on the front page is a screenshot/representation of the service, it appears to be an AJAXy overlay over the normal site similar to what one of PayPal's three dozen or so integration methods does. I wouldn't qualify that as "Amazon-like" since it doesn't well integrate with the rest of the site in terms of look and feel.
Available outside US? Where?
So they (Be, inc) passed the buck onto the general public, and let them shoulder the immense financial burden of their failures? That's pretty evil, extremely devious, a whole lot cowardly, and an astonishingly good move business-wise.
Yeah, the browser has gotten snappier. But then I pop open the dev tools and they're unbearably slow - like I simply can't do real dev work in FF anymore, have to use Chrome. It may be that I tend to do a lot of development with Web Components, which FF still doesn't have natively (though Custom Elements are live in 59/nightly, right?!), but either way it seems like a failing of the tooling that it beachballs for 5-10s at a time when inspecting normal valid html.
And if you provide us a quote for that rate, we'll 100% match it. We can go as low as anyone else, and are trying to avoid the insanity of negotiating processing rates.
That I can see happening but the trend started independently of cryptocurrencies. You can already find many "fiat" banks who operate purely on the net, without any public-facing physical locations. Cryptocurrencies might speed this up a bit but it already happening regardless.
I'd respectfully disagree. In a monorepo the size of Google's (or even Square's, where I work now), there would be a whole schlep to open the file in your editor. Much better to fix right there where you're browsing.

Also, at Google, it's not even Git, or a Git/Github workflow.
I think the concept you're looking for is "value stable".

Right now we're seeing the tip of the iceberg of potential cryptocurrencies. Pretty much only token-based (ie. non-ledger) based currencies, where we need global BFT consensus to track the current position of every single coin. This is crazy. And, as it turns out, unnecessary (see: Holochain).

When the iceberg capsizes (as Git capsized the CASE industry), globally consistent ledger-based value-stable currencies based on peer-to-peer co-signed personal blockchains will supplant these unnecessary globally consistent token based ... things. (Do I really care that you just slid a nickel across the table to someone? Nope). Same with crazy Turing-complete globally consistent VMs implementing Smart Contract languages. Not necessary.

You are correct -- value-stable currencies won't have anyone getting rich quick. But, when every sub-saharan goat herder and neighbourhood kid with a collection of trading cards can independently monetize his/her wealth into a value-stable currency, we'll see the face ripped off of the global Fiat monetary systems...
The hunt for the pickle jars.
I guess one of the only advantages of more contractors is that may eventually push us to single payer healthcare system.
The end game for cryptocurrency has already been achieved, which is for significant monetary value to be attached to it. That alone is a preposterous idea that has nevertheless become a reality.

The question now is how much value? And that depends only on what the wealthy people of the world decide to do. Do they keep it as a risky speculation game, or a capital flight escape hatch? Or do they build it into the global economy on a more permanent basis? Only time will tell.
I'm interested too (EMEA).
I agree; her tweets were overly pointed. But calling an individual names, a group of people of voluntary association names, and an entire race or gender names are three very different things. Her core point, that a knowledgeable minority padded with a zealous, clueless majority, the latter on a roll misinforming the public, stands.

As someone who will probably never work at Amazon, or in any way benefit from their presence, the issues of housing prices and infrastructure are important to me.

(suggested) competing cities form a non-aggression pact

That's been suggested before at the state level. But it runs into a Constitutional limitation. Interstate compacts have to be approved by Congress. Article I, Section 10: "No State shall, without the Consent of Congress ... enter into any Agreement or Compact with another State." US cities are legally parts of states, not standalone entities.

Trying to get an anti-business deal like that through the current Congress would not work.

Saying that “they never achieved much” is a gigantic understatement!!
You should look into a bank other than BofA.
Really? So you're going to declare income on the 20 hard forks in 2017 (many were scams / questionable value... if any, also not listed on US exchanges), and on the 50 hard forks this year? Don't you think this is a bit insane??

I think that since the blue ocean update to Jenkins they have added lot of the next generation features. I'll either specify the claim better or lange it later today.
I don't think so. They want to be the only middleman. Suppliers can buy shelf space in Amazon stores but I don't think they will help retailers. They want to make a small percentage of every sale.
Exploiting Qualcomm EDL Programmers, Part 1
I'm well aware of that. This type of coordination is much easier, than producing a new build in a complex corporate environment. The delivery of microservice is limited in most cases to the change in environment inventory file and integration testing. The delivery of the build requires source code management (you'll need to push the dependency change in the right branch), probably, full application SQA cycle (to make sure there's no side effects, e.g. due to transitive dependency update) and only then - deployment and integration testing.
Yeah, it positively was, and it would lock the browser up with misbehaving tabs. I managed to use Fx50 (or so, I forget the exact release) for about a day before going "nope, back to Chrome, it might chew batteries like crazy but at least it's fast."

Firefox has significantly improved and deserves praise for it. Rewriting history to always be at war with Eastchromea is unnecessary.
It might work for some people. Many people don't have a spouse providing health insurance - without that it's drastically different. Probably your spouse has a reliable job so you can weather the danger of not having work when a contract ends. You are fortunate, good for you. But if you got hurt, and were single, you'd be much more vulnerable. I'm lucky, I work in a full time job with all the benefits, but not everyone is that lucky.
> This is perhaps what separates libertarians from liberals, conservatives, socialists, etc.: we simply do not deny others the liberty we claim for ourselves.

Oh cut the self-aggrandizing horse-shit. Libertarianism is 100% about denying others liberty while taking as much as you can for yourself.

> If a monetary system that cannot be debased/controlled by government is available, does that not allow you to elect to create and/or join a community of similar beliefs? Or, would you prefer that I (or someone else) be able to gain control of your government, and then choose to make it (financially) impossible for you to choose your associations and/or behaviors?

If you are under the impression that somehow cryptocurrency can't be controlled by governments, you're in for a bad time.

> Or, perhaps: does your "utopia" require others to fund it, in order for it to work? This is, unfortunately, the case with most people's personal beliefs. They require the non-consensual forced effort of others to succeed

There is no utopia. It's a naive pipe dream. Please don't project straw men onto me.

Blue Origin matches that -- it's likely a Bezos-driven thing. I toured their facilities recently and what impressed me most is that they're building a base for repeatable, safe-as-airplanes space travel versus the get-to-Mars approach of SpaceX. Each stage of their development and planned development is along a clear, slow timeline to reach that end goal.
Where in the interview does he even use hard concepts. I have no degree in ANY related fields that Peterson is fluent in and there is not a single sentence where I can say that it would be hard to understand.
I disagree.

Some of the Soviet scientists who won a Nobel Prize in science [1]:

- 1958 Pavel Cherenkov, Ilya Frank and Igor Tamm "for the discovery and interpretation of the Cherenkov effect"

- 1962 Lev Landau "for his theories about condensed matter, particularly about liquid helium superfluidity"

- 1964 Nikolay Basov and Aleksandr Prokhorov "for fundamental work in the area of the quantum electronics, which led to the construction of oscillators and amplifiers on the basis of the maser laser principle"

Additionally, some of the other areas where Soviets contributed to research and innovation include [2]:

- stem cells

- light emitting diodes

- electric rocket motor

- blood bank

- paratrooping

I didn't think that was kosher as it incentivizes them to prioritize results from Amazon.
Users don't move to a fork, the supporting institutions do (miners, exchanges, wallet developers). In essence we're back to square one. Our future is being decided by a few, centralized entities with majority control over the system.
You can accept credit cards anywhere in the world, in 50+ different currencies.

However, for now, settlement only to a US or Canadian bank account. We can do an instant transfer from a US/Canadian bank to an intlt account, but if you want to avoid US taxes and settle directly to an international bank, we do not support that. Our team is hard at work to support it in the next year.
> Bitcoin is not anonymous.

I get what you're saying, and I've been saying the same myself. Then again, maybe it is anonymous in the literal sense that transactions don't include your name. Without outside information, you can't look at a transaction, or a history of transactions, and tell to whom they belong.

PS: Never mind. I don't think I am making an important point.
Million Dollar Trading Mistakes, for Your Entertainment and Edification
Once again - you expect people to somehow magically track the value on 20 hard forks in 2017, many are scam / not listed on US sites / unclear value, and on the 50 hard forks in 2018? Not possible - not feasible - and goes counter to what many EAs and CPAs are advising their clients. People need to stop giving "couch" advise without considering the consequences.
Thanks. I'm willing to bet my school's IT dept hasn't updated any of their network software in like 5 years, so that's not surprising. It's specifically tagged as phishing.

This. I had asthma as a child. Now? No meds, no issues, for two decades.

I would not qualify for affordable healthcare because of that pre-existing condition without Obamacare. Even as is, with the fragility of our political system, I am very wary of contract work; the concern that I could lose healthcare at any time based on elected idiots stymies me.
Well, tell you what, that's not the metaphor I was hoping to see. Rocket propulsion gets more efficient in flight because the rocket gets lighter as it burns its fuel: same punch, less mass to move. What I _figured_ I'd see here was the same notion applied to software work. Namely, building up small efficiencies in an organization will have compounding effects. What are those? Well, percentage point improvements to build systems, slow, careful work to cut down on resource consumption in software systems, etc etc.

This was... different. Achieving maximal time efficiency -- "goofing off for 5 minutes every day adds up to 3 more full days of work per year" -- is sacrificing long-term sustainability for short-term, uh, presence, I guess? It's certainly not that your work is better when you micro-manage your time, even in the immediate term. The mind needs play time to make associations between ideas, to keep up one's well-being. Three more full days of work a year don't mean anything to anyone if to _get_ those three days you're left a shambles.

In short, rockets don't work this way and neither should anyone else.
maybe some mega insurance was against obamacare, but a lot of them wanted it to continue because it was providing steady business. most individuals liked it for the changes like kids being on parent's health ins till 25.
Sure, I get that convenience is a big seller. But then it's "a really convenient speaker", not "a really incredible speaker".
Not sure if GWT is still that relevant nowadays. AngularJS was developed by Google many years ago. It was already pure JS.
Kind words are always appreciated :-)
You're certainly more exposed to downturns, much like solo lawyers, consultants, etc.

It's a trade-off and comes with definite benefits like you listed.
Depends on what you want.

If you want to learn about functional programming, something like this could give you fun and relatively painless head start: http://www.4clojure.com/ . Also, you could try to download LINQPad and look at code examples.

If you want to learn about real OOP, I would recommend looking into Smalltalk, learning about design principles behind Xerox Alto/Star and listening to some OOP seminars from mid-80s.

If you want to learn about high-level system design, here are some intelligent people I would listen to: Alan Kay, Rich Hickey, Peter Norvig, Salvatore Sanfilippo.

I would also recommend every programmer to watch through at least one introductory AI class. Not because they necessarily need to work with AI algorithms, but because those classes teach to solve programming problems in a better way than just "write more logic and abstractions".
