how do you move multiple hundreds of thousands of dollars worth out to fiat in a single instance?

Doing a trade of that size is no problem; you just enter it. Getting the money out via ACH or wire would require being pre-verified and upping your limits. AFAIK Gemini has higher limits than Coinbase/GDAX.
Out of curiosity, for those who feel Strava is blameless, how would feel if the US government were collecting this information?

I wonder what will happen to the Facebook the company as this progresses. It would be quite funny if the main product of Facebook becomes Instagram -- and the original product fades.

One thing we might be discounting though is other nations. (I assume you live in N.A.) I don't know how widespread Facebook is elsewhere. It could be that Facebook gives up on N.A. market and let Insta handles their interest there and focus itself on emerging markets.
I won’t charge you for consultation here. You should make a token system so people can earn token (somehow) and get rewards like iPhone and perhaps even a stack of American Dollar. Let’s partner with resturants, airlines, gyms and hotels. Every bite, every mile equals some arbitrary token that will expire in 180 days. We will develop a mobile game called crytoGo in which users can earn our token by mobbing Central Park and Settale Centeal Library.

The more active users are physically in the real world, the more trading happens. We will make our users live like a hamster running on a wheel.
We give people incentive to live and make money! No more sitting in the office 9-10 anymore! They get social and outdoor life, and we make our money.

This will take off. Don’t waste your time on Facebook. Any crytocurrency marketer tells you to invest in facebook campaign is stealing your money. Listen - find some viral YouTubers and Instagram users to back you. We will make an awesome logo like the Grumpy Cat.

Contact me privately if you would like a quote for a complete proposal. I am happy to work out the details with you. We can refine the bots for sure.

Everything is done behind Tor - even more secure than ever! Our servers are located in Sweden so do not worry about!

Just so you know: I have patented the idea and design of this system. So don’t think about copying. Trust me. My name is yeukhon. I have a B.S in Computer Science. K?
How correlated is your models output with a simple measure of the volume of interactions a user has with an app?

Main question...is this a domain where ML really adds a lot of value beyond the basic concept of High Interaction (lots of time spent and clicks/pages visited) -> High conversion Probability?
There is no universal metric for security.

What about slashdot-style raw counts of vulnerabilities? As Microsoft got their security more together, it seems like that measure has fallen out of favor.

I am frequently astounded by how many vulnerabilities Firefox point releases address, but I don't know the stats.
NYC's Citi Bike started out terribly. But they've improved in leaps and bounds since inception: Better bikes that are rarely broken (some with the really cool NuVinci continuously variable gears), better app, more up-to-date stats on available bikes and docks, good manual rebalancing and community incentives to rebalance (Bike Angels), valet at crowded stations.... to name a few improvements.

They've had to raise their price almost every year - but at $180/year its still a steal.

When Uber came to NYC I (wrongly) thought that it wasn't going to have such a great impact because of the sheer number of yellow cabs that were never that far away. My initial feeling about Uber Bike if it comes to NYC is that it would be great - and help boost bike rider numbers.
This reads like a conspiracy theory but please pause for a moment and consider why a financial company involved in cryptocurrencies would spread concern to a highly read news outlet. Either they:

1) Are scared that tethers can crash the market and want to flush things sooner than later

or

2) It's part of a disinformation strategy to move the market where it's more profitable.

There are very few rules and regulations around cryptocurrency so I'm betting on #2.
dvtm does tiling and tabs

Since dvtm also works as a terminal emulator, it seems to me that you could use loadkeys to setup various keycodes to send the proper vt100 escape codes. I've not tried it, but see no reason why it shouldn't work.

If you just want "No X install" you can use a frame buffer terminal (fbterm was one I used to use, but it doesn't appear to have been updated in a while, perhaps there is a spiritual successor, or maybe it already does what you want)

[edit]
YAFT https://github.com/uobikiemukot/yaft looks like it's more up to date than fbterm.
> I don't want to roll it.

Im surprised they don't have a rigid frame / internal roll bars etc. I suppose there's so much weight in the vehicle already it's just additional mass.

Your comment about passenger cars not scaring you made me laugh however... I drive a mx5/miata everywhere.. Literally every other vehicle on the road scares me, and I have a full roll cage :P
What I think would happen is people with Tether stuck on those exchanges would start trying to get out by two ways:

1) Cashing out to fiat, I don't know these exchanges well enough to determine if people actually managed to cash out their Tethers with real money in a meaningful sum.

2) Buying crytocurrencies available on these Tether based exchanges in order to get off these exchanges, which would actually cause prices to go up, but only in terms of USDT, not USD.

After that it really depends on what those folks would do next, they might choose to hold onto the coins or try to liquidate to fiat which would cause prices of coins on non-Tether exchanges to go down.
I think the real lesson here is that once a company identifies it's cash cow it becomes hostile to all other efforts.

Perhaps the original article, which this is a follow-up to, could be enlightening:
https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2018/01/27/technology/so...

two young siblings... earn a combined $100,000 a year as influencers, working with brands such as Amazon, Disney, Louis Vuitton and Nintendo. Arabella, who is 14, tweets under the name Amazing Arabella.

But her Twitter account — and her brother’s — are boosted by thousands of retweets purchased by their mother and manager, Shadia Daho, according to Devumi records.

The idea that dubious businesses are possibly skimming money off big brands (or even more disturbingly, possibly with the knowledge of those brands) by using fake followers is interesting, and newsworthy. Add widespread identity theft into the mix, and it’s even more newsworthy.
Even if they define a 5 to 10 years warning before "deprecating" it is better than finding ourselves in the same hole the same amount of years from now.
I think you've replied to the wrong comment? I agree with you, you can't blame obikes littering for people throwing them in rivers and on roofs.

You're damn right about Aussies (and also Brits and Kiwis) having stories about doing dumb shit overseas. It's almost a point of national pride, "hey, let me tell you about this time I disrespected an entire culture by pissing in an inappropriate location while pissed!".

So what is the likely outcome of the fallout of Tether and Bitfinex? I'm guessing the price of Bitcoin will fall drastically?

That's a nice way to talk around the bush, but that doesn't solve the issue that, without warning or deprecation plan container linux will at some point just stop working.

There's no timeline or FAQ telling us how we can keep our container linux deployments, with the same software, with the same configs, working for the next years.
You will like this headline from The Onion: https://www.theonion.com/bitcoin-on-path-to-functioning-just...

On the question if Red Hat will let container linux continue, the official answer was

“Red Hat Enterprise Linux’s content, the foundation of our application ecosystem will remain our only Linux offering”

TL;DR: container linux, as we know it today, is dead.

> We vary N from 1 to 24 hours and examine the p-values. [.....] there are a number of periods where the p-values are significantly below 0.05 and we reject the null hypothesis for those periods.

Is it p-hacking to vary N and find low p-values? If its not p-hacking, but a valid analysis with predictive power, then wouldn't it make a good trading strategy to watch the tether wallet and buy btc whenever new issuance happens?
Your cryptocurrency is a security. That means you could go to jail over wash trading.
You should go with "cryptarot". It's cleaner.

> Worries Grow That the Price of Bitcoin Is Being Propped Up

Never looked at the NYT as a satirical publication.
Both what you are pointing out and what the other commenter are pointing out are critical, contrasting failure modes that must be continually avoided. You both are correct.

The balance between the two will depend enormously on the circumstances, and is difficult to manage.
Let's see:

a. As per coinmarketcap, currently the largest BTC market is the BTC/USDT on OkEx. On looking closer, 3 out top 10 markets are USDT (excluding Bitfinex). So that is nearly 10% of only BTC liquidity gone.

b. As Tether and Bitfinex are connected so the exchange shuts down. It is the 2nd largest bitcoin exchange. So all that liquidity vanishes too. That brings our above total to 15%.

c. There will be many cross connected trades relying on USDT so my guess is the liquidity number will be higher, maybe even in 25-35% range.

d. This will cause panic and people selling BTC left and right. So BTC prices taking a huge hit. It might go down as low as 1-2k.

e. Most other cryptos are pegged to BTC. So with BTC liquidity gone they will take another huge hit too.
So currently the same as:

Bitcoin gold -- a questionable bitcoin fork.

OmiseGo -- Soemthing I've actually never heard of, despite following cryptocurrencies pretty closely.

If OmiseGo, or Bitcoin Gold ended up being a scam, would the market even notice?
I don't think you've really answered the question. Why should I trust you? The FAQ doesn't really inspire any confidence in that.
I really want bitcoin to succeed because it really is a great way to take back the power from corporations and the plutocracy we find ourselves in today. The fixed pool of bitcoins is slightly problematic.. would it not be better if the pool increased at 1% a year or so..? Gold made sense as a reserve since it formed a quorum among the various economies. The dollar makes sense now but so does bitcoin. The only issue I can't resolve is the deflationary impact of hodling since there will only by 21 million coins.
Why shouldn't we follow the example to its logical conclusion? He's clearing trying to demonstrate that it's the wild west. It's really only the wild west until the SEC starts to enforce existing laws.
or

3) it's a single individual sharing their opinion

or

4) they believe it will help their overall reuputation after a crash, so customers who bought and got crushed will think "man if only I had listened to them"

or

5) it's someone with a personal grudge against crypto -- they made a private market short with an accepting party

or

6) it's space aliens who know crypto is the secret to super-luminal space travel and they want to sabotage humanity's efforts to reach the stars.

There is very limited evidence to prove that it wasn't space aliens. That's all I'm sayin'.
You're still relying on the central app-specific server for connecting peers to each other, it's disingenuous to say it's "fully p2p".

Market cap is not the same as actual money that has flowed into the space. Tether claims that 2B actual USD exist in reserves.
Has anyone seen a Liteplacer in action? All the info I can find on it is from the seller.

LitePlacer is designed for one-off jobs. It gets its parts from cut tape, not reels. It uses its vision system to line up on the parts tapes, so the tapes don't have to be precisely positioned. It's quite slow for a pick and place machine, but far faster than doing it by hand.

Doesn't put down solder paste, though.

There are a lot of low-end pick and place machines, but few critical evaluations of them.
I was suddenly out of a job last year and a recruiter who cold called me had me in front of a hiring manager 48 hours later (who hired me on the spot).

Douglas Hofstadter: The Shallowness of Google Translate
Interesting and accurate argument. Is that your own idea or is it based on anything more? I agree with you.
> How are they supposed to know if they're displaying data for a secret base if the information to determine it actually is secret is, umm...secret?

This isn't about hiding secret bases, censoring a region from the data they release will obviously leave a blind spot. This is about not exposing the activity data of sensitive regions.
I agree with all of those points, except for your first one. As a driver myself, I can see that humans will always search for more speed, and taking the driver away from the vehicle ultimately makes the overall activity less engaging (for the drivers, and the audience).

I do agree that such a class could be run along side a human-driven class as an alternative event. To go one step further, I feel this is where the Red Bull Air Race should go, so we can see some actual jet-powered racing at ridiculous speeds.

The bikes are obnoxious, but I confess that the cars are just as obnoxious when you first start letting people park on the street. "Clean" lines typically means nothing there. And it does have a pleasantness that is hard to state.

I say this as someone that now lives somewhere where everyone parks on the street in front of their house. For me, I loved the month or so we didn't have a car, because it was actually somewhat likely that there would be no car in front of our house.

None of this is to defend the bikes that are being left everywhere. Just trying to strengthen the thought that the cars are just as obnoxious, but we have grown to accept that. If anything, I fear we will grow to accept these bikes. I'm still hopeful that the bikes will actually get used and not just strewn about.
A probable role Facebook may take in future is providing digital "passport" kind of identity. The Chinese Facebook clone is doing it already and the Russian Facebook clone does too though in much smaller degree.

I live in Europe, not N.A. We use messengers a lot here and many people still use Facebook. I've heard that people use SMS and MMS much more actively in the USA (I have never used MMS and have stopped using SMS years ago).
No way. When you look at the daily volume of the Bitfinex exchange, it is large... but not that large.

It's convoluted because the idea of forcing an object to always be allocated on the heap is convoluted. The real fix for this problem is the modules system, where the compiled module can expose an object's size without exposing its contents. Your example shows why header files suck more than anything about the core semantics of C++ as a language.
I love using the heatmap tool especially the one that shows the differences from 1 year to the next. As a MTB'er, I see the routes that people stop using because of downed trees and other obstacles. Helps prioritize where trail cleaning must be done.

I mean, everyone up-thread says "eyesore", but there are other concerns as well.

Chaining a bike to a random object can be a necessity; not everywhere has any bike racks, let alone ones anywhere near where you need them. Chaining a bike to a random object can be perfectly fine.

But people also chain bikes in ways that block access to sidewalks, buildings, and other bits and pieces of the public spaces. It may not be intentional; the way other people use spaces may be different from yours, and it may not be obvious that locking your bike to a particular place may make life more difficult for other people.
500 miles can be done in a day and still get you nowhere. You didn't see anything because you haven't actually been anywhere.

Maybe 500 miles is a lot for someone coming from England, Switzerland or southeast Asia, but America is massive. 500 miles doesn't even get you through California. It would barely get you through Florida. In no case does your little collection of billboards represent the quality of life of "most" Americans. "Most" of us get on just fine without meth.

You may as well have taken nothing but service roads for the full third world experience. Then you could complain about how nobody actually lives in America, it's full of unpaved roads and there is no infrastructure at all when you run out of gas on the side of a mountain.

> Oil is taking shell seriously as a programming language, rather than treating it as a text-based UI that can be abused to write programs.

erm, there's a big difference between a command scripting language and a programming language. These should be treated as different things.

I have years of experience using both, and I really don't want to be doing shell tasks in a programming language and I don't want to write programs in a shell language. Those sorts of hybrids are almost always mediocre. Horses for courses and all that.

There's a reason bash keeps being used - it's mature, it's simple, it's easy and people are productive with it.

Restaurant Feedback System – Zonka
I looked it up in the various books I have on my shelf:

D&D Redbox:

No skill checks, Attacks succeed if the modified value is 20 or higher. So a level 1 Str 9 character can never hit AC -1. A level 1 Str 18 character needs only a 17 to hit any AC. These rules are different in later rulebooks when the THAC0 is introduced.

[edit] Checked my Expert rulebook, and found that the modified 20 always hits is just due to very low ACs not being represented in the Basic charts (In OD&D lower AC is harder to hit). The target number to hit goes up as AC goes down, but "sticks" at 20 for 5 points of AC. There is no special rule for auto hitting or missing with a natural 20 in OD&D. Note that monsters are quite good at hitting with the weakest monsters hitting about as well as a mid-level fighter with mundane equipment.

D&D 3E: Only attacks succeed/fail on a natural 20/1.

D&D 3.5E and Pathfinder: Attacks and saves succeed on natural 20/1

I don't own any AD&D rulebooks.
Why do I have to choose? Both are in fact intended to be anti-democratic. Our collective admiration for the Founding Fathers makes it hard for us to wrap our heads around this, but it's reality -- the Constitution is largely a document intended to limit, not encourage, popular sovereignty.
You're not gonna be able to pick-and-place anything with hundreds/thousands of parts at a hobby price point. Those kinds of machines are massive by necessity and hugely complex; I just can't imagine it happening for the very small number of people who would want to do something like that. If it did happen by some miracle, it'd have to follow from some sort of major technical advance.

If you're one of the handful of hobbyists that want to do such complex projects I think contract manufacturing is probably a more realistic option. Not sure if you've ever set up a PnP before but it's a huge pain in the ass. I'd rather stencil and tweezer as long it was remotely practical. They are utterly mesmerizing to watch work once they're set up however...

I don't like treating the development of ideas like they just sprung from the ether devoid of masters or historical context. Certainly it can be seen as flowing from those principles, but it came to exist in a particular circumstance -- namely, when Federalists thought raving Jeffersonian Democrats were going to ruin the whole republic with too much democracy and invented a legal theory that said they could throw out their laws.
As bitcoin is quite impossible to value via traditional methods it's very hard to say where the price could end up after a tether pop.

I've heard many in the cryptocurrency space throw figures around such as $1,000.

I fear that the crash would be far lower. The argument is that the entire run up is fake therefore a realistic price would be back around $100.
> a great way to take back the power from corporations and the plutocracy we find ourselves in today.

In practice this is ultimately just replacing one plutocracy with another. Though really, given that the only way to make "fuck-you" money betting on cryptocurrencies is to have an excess of disposable income in the first place, it may not be so much "replacing" as "reinforcing".
To be fair I think there is a subculture where a hack run with hands under 1 minute is considered an accomplishment.
