Perhaps I don't understand it correctly but I assumed that wouldn't result in Tether being created. A holder of Tether would exchange his Tether for BTC. Only a transaction of Tether for cash would result in Tether being created.
It wasn't available when I ordered. I had a time constraint, so got the first one off the boat into North America (allegedly), so it has a T6. But all things being equal, I'd love a T8 in there.

Do you want to help build the factory of the future and realize the next industrial revolution?

Tulip is transforming manufacturing processes by bringing the latest technological advances from the lab to the back office to the shop floor. Whereas most factories are still using state of the art technology from the mid 19th century, we come from the future to bring them a rich, realtime web app, modern tablets, IoT systems, in-depth analytics, and more.

We're a small team, but we have multiple Fortune 500 customers and are enabling production lines building things you interact with everyday. We're in a strong growth mode! We closed a $13M Series A a few months ago (http://tcrn.ch/2qYvsoN), we are bringing on new customers, scaling up our existing customers' deployments, and, most relevantly, hiring across the team!

We'd love to talk to anyone interested, but in particular we are looking to bring folks on in:

- SRE/DevOps: Kubernetes-admin, scalable monitoring across the firewall, hybrid cloud/on-prem deployment

- Web Development: React+Redux frontend, NodeJS+Mongo+Postgres+Redis backend, syncing data with Meteor, delivering useful, real-time experiences in the browser and on Electron

- Application Engineering: Bridging the gap between our platform's capabilities and what our customers need. Device integration, reverse-engineering, web development, and lots of time on factory floors understanding our customers' operations

- IoT/Embedded Software: delivering a reliable, extensible HW platform across arm and x86, all manner of bus/IO tech

- Data & Pipeline Engineering: planning, implementing, and finding insights with our next generation of process & sensor analytics

How would they fake the price while allowing trades and BTC withdrawals?
True - Tk was quite the step up back then. I still use it every day when I fire up gitk or git gui.
It might seem like noise, but there is progress being made. My cousin's girlfriend takes a pill every day which has basically eliminated her lung cancer for all intents and purposes because it targets the specific mutation which is in the problem in her case.

Relatively new T-Cell therapies "train" the body's own immune system to recognize and delete cancer cells with much fewer negative effects than traditional treatments like radiation or chemotherapy.

Stories like this don't mean an end to cancer, but it's still very good news.
Of course not.

One takeaway I have from both the 2008 crash and the cryptocurrency mania is that it's actually very hard to create a financial system that is not mostly fraud and gambling.

There's a couple reasons for this. One is that people are greedy and I've even seen really honest people get weird around money. The second is that humans are extremely prone to falling for the alluring cognitive biases and fallacies behind gambling. A corollary of the second is that gambling doesn't always look like gambling and can emerge spontaneously in markets, but when it does it still runs on the same emotional and cognitive biases that make people go to casinos.

The line between fraud and gambling can get blurry too. Can you get away with it? Hmm... wanna bet? Every act of fraud is kind of a dice roll. Get away with some fraud once and the gamblers' fallacies start taking hold.

It's really really hard to organize a large scale civilization or financial system so that most activity is honest and/or productive. It's a constant Red Queen's Race against both intentional fraud and systemic failures.
The only issue I see is that iPhones aren't using USB C, at least not yet.

If you go out and buy a new android smartphone and a new laptop right now, there's a pretty high chance that they will both have USB C. You can then use a reasonably priced USB C -> 3.5mm adapater with a DAC (the Google one is only 9 dollars, and your phone will probably come with one of these) and use your headphones with either device.

In the past, laptops/desktops and smartphones/mp3 players didn't share any ports aside from the 3.5mm analog port. Now, they're going to share a USB C port so there's no longer as much of a need for the 3.5mm port.

In the near future, I expect many more headphones to come with their own USB C adapter or to forgo the 3.5mm jack entirely. In the medium to far future, I expect Apple will replace the lightning port with USB C and from that point on, including a 3.5mm port on something will make about as much sense as any other legacy port that most people no longer care about.

The exception will probably be professional audio equipment, which I expect will keep analog ports around forever because it actually makes sense in that field.

Object Pascal (FreePascal/Lazarus/Delphi)

Many, many production applications have been written using these languages/environments, but the language has fallen out of favor since the early 2000s.

- Code is easy to read and understand, and you can get a new developer up to speed quickly

- Can be used as a high-level language, a low-level language (you can even include in-line assembler), or both

- Blazing fast compilation

- Statically-typed, and includes classes, records (structs), reference-counted interfaces and strings

- Lots of implementations and platforms

This taxi deregulation is just a part of wider transport deregulation in Finland. The aim is at Mobility-as-a-Service startups to provide novel apps that integrate taxis, public transport as well as new services like Uber Pool into a seamless and efficient transport network.

For example, all public transport in Finland will be required to provide a ticket sales API for these new apps. The app can sell you a trip from A to B and fulfill by ordering a taxi to the railway station plus a train ticket to your destination. Here's the press release for an open API from Helsinki Regional Transport Authority HSL: https://www.hsl.fi/en/news/2017/hsl-launch-worlds-first-publ...
It sounds like the original build script was poorly written. Bad (or hurried) programmers write bad code no matter the language.

It sort of seems to me that the story continues to have a clear villain, the business man, and a clear victim, the other fisherman who will spend 20 years scaling before he gets back to the life he wanted—and so the right plan is for the original fisherman to treat the businessman and his American ideas as a threat to the community.
Tell the other fishermen that if they go along with the businessman's plan to destroy the community and sell it to American interests, they'll be excommunicated from the village and their original business will be dead long before the businessman returns with lawyers. But if they change their minds, they'll be welcomed back with open arms.
> In recent months, however, many investors have been raising alarm bells about Tether. Hundreds of millions of dollars worth of new Tether were created; almost always when the prices of other virtual currencies were heading down. The Tether were used on the Bitfinex exchange to make big purchases of Bitcoin and other tokens, helping push their prices back up, according to multiple analyses of data from Bitfinex.

Surely this is illegal? (if confirmed true, of course)
Ask developers how much difference being made a featured app makes to sales. Apple recently radically redesigned the App Store so that it could more effectively promote apps.
The problem isn't that the vetted app store exists. It is that the vetted app store controlled by the device manufacturer is the only way you are allowed to install applications
Why can't we have the best of both worlds? Apps that have been manually checked or curated can be marked as "Trusted/Certified" (similar to WHQL certified drivers), while others can be marked as "Untrusted/Use at your own risk".
Haplo | Developer | London, UK | Full time, ONSITE

Senior developer: https://www.haplo-services.com/jobs/senior-developer

This job is interesting because...

* You get to think about the nuts and bolts of how web applications are developed. You’ll be building APIs, creating reusable components, and working with your colleagues to make iterative improvements.

* Our open source web application framework for developing information rich applications extends from a low level search engine up to high level UI components, along with everything in the middle.

* Our work is a bit different. We went to the effort of developing our own platform because nothing else could do what we needed. Our platform is mature and incredibly effective at building applications to manage semi-structured information.

(...more on the job ad...)

QA developer: https://www.haplo-services.com/jobs/qa-developer

* We build highly customised applications with lots of business logic on top of integrated products, using a toolkit of components. Automated tests for everything is not economically viable, so our tools and APIs have to ensure quality without automated tests for the majority of the customisations.

* This isn't a testing job. The idea is to minimise the need for testing.

* You'll be an integral part of a development team who really care about quality and good design, advocating for continual improvements and shaping our development practises.
With 6 years of full-time full-stack programming experience with custom web development of data driven applications.

If you buy 100 tether for 100$ and I “sell my bitcoin for tether” by trading to you, then no new tether is created. Tether should only be issued when people buy them using new $. Their claim currently is that they have $2bil in an account backing the tether. Yet they can’t get a bank collaboration and can’t manage to get an audit. It smells fishy.

Container Solutions | Amsterdam, Berlin, London, Zurich | ONSITE | FULLTIME | container-solutions.com

We help clients build confidence with cloud technologies and transition to microservices. We work with cloud native vendors on next-generation open-source tools. We're growing our Amsterdam (HQ) and Zurich offices and creating new engineering teams in Berlin and London. We are hiring for potential, not for skills.

We are looking currently for:

Cloud Native engineers (all offices)

Background in development or operations with some experience in microservices, CI/CD, technologies like Docker, Kubernetes, Mesos, cloud (AWS, Google, Azure), cloud automation and provisioning (Terraform, Ansible, Cloud Formation etc). We value consultancy skills and community work (open-source projects, meetups and conference talks, blogging).

Expect mainly short-term projects (2-4 months) mostly delivered from our offices. We automate the infrastructure of our customers and deploy on top of it orchestration layers for running apps and data. We work in small self-managed teams that take full responsibility for the projects. We're not tech/cloud service resellers, we mix the best open-source tools and services that make sense for the project.

All our engineers are encouraged to share their knowledge at conferences and within the company. We consider ourselves a continuous learning company. Switching between projects/roles/offices is possible and quite common.

Front-End Developer (Amsterdam)

Create beautiful and usable interfaces and are especially interested in building GUIs for distributed systems. Should have an affinity with design thinking and from the beginning, are expected to lead ideation sessions and have interest in backend development.

HR Coordinator (Amsterdam)
Sales Executives (Amsterdam)

We're active in the open-source area via meetups (Docker, Rust, Nix, Software Circus), conferences (our own conference in Amsterdam: http://www.softwarecircus.io/ ), workshops, code (Minimesos: https://github.com/ContainerSolutions/minimesos ), books (Using Docker: http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920035671.do )

CompilerWorks is a bespoke compiler company, with our core product centered around compiling one dialect of SQL to execute on a different backend - e.g. would you like to run Oracle PL/SQL on a Postgre database? You can with CompilerWorks. With this core capability our compilers are being deployed to do a lot more than simply transpile code.

We are driven to solve interesting engineering problems where compilers are useful. We have found many interesting applications in the world of databases/datawarehouses and "big data."

I agree with you in an ideal world. These concepts are obvious. Unfortunately, we don't see this implemented so I'm pretty sure that it isn't our timeline.

The police are not here to protect you, but to ensure the functioning of society. This isn't pessimism; it's a fact of legal precedent - they have no obligation to protect any citizen [0].

Justice only happens when the crime unpunished would lead to undesirable destabilization of society. Sexual harassment was rampant in Hollywood for decades, only now that it threatens stability does it receive attention.

Our ideals of justice and freedom only but tools and illusions to keep the gears of society turning.

> This is the reason organizations exist to regulate things around trade

It's worth noting that every industry suffers from fraud. In the insurance industry, it's estimated that 10% of expenditure is fraud-related. 5% of americans were victims of identity theft last year. Loads of people/businesses have been and will be scammed in well regulated industries, while having no indication that it will ever decrease. I don't really know enough about bitcoin to comment on how prevalent it is (I sincerely doubt most people do), but I do know it isn't special in that regard.
I read a while ago that Dropbox desktop clients are written in wxPython, and maybe on all of Windows, MacOS, and Linux. Don't have a citation right now.
Lisp.

Its the most powerful language that has been in existence and yet most modern programmers haven't heard about it or used it.

Almost everything to do with the ecosystem is magic, and its not even a programming language by many a measure, its a thinking paradigm so powerful that it could make many things that look impossible a walk in the park. I've only been learning it for more than a month now, and this is what I've seen.

1. Unmatchable features when it comes to modifying structured data of any kind. Many eons ago our foregeeks seemed to have imagined everything in computer science as either a list or combination of lists on somekind. Tree, Queues, Heaps, Stacks, Vectors, Graphs, Sequences, Sets... You name it, these are all lists or a combination of lists. The programs too are lists(abstract syntax trees). Most modern day data structures you will will deal with XML, JSON, Tables, Matrices are lists or a combination of lists. And lisp is list processing. Once you get a hold of lisp and its paradigm of thought, even difficult algorithms and data structures feel like a walk in the park. I used to struggle with white board coding and algorithm stuff, these day most of it comes to me naturally or little work, when I think of it in terms of lisp paradigm.

2. Recursion: For some reason, its very easy to think recursively in lisp. And that makes very easy to represent hard solutions.

3. Functional programming: Full functional programming features, no holds barred.

4. REPL: If you haven't used the Lisp REPL, you haven't seen a real REPL yet. I was completely blown away by the REPL. Combination of Emacs + SLIME is just too good. And you can hot swap code by attaching to a live process. Which is totally insane.

4. Continuations: Makes it very easy to express a variety backtracking problems.

5. Macros: Ability to extend and add any language feature and paradigm you want, at compile time at 0 costs. And anything you add becomes a part of the language.

6. Libraries: Most lisps these days have libraries for most of the needs.

7. Books: Lisp easily has the most eccentric, fun and enlightening books in all of CS history.

When you code in lisp it feels you are dropping tiny little recursive functions all over the place which grow like a small organism to a very intelligent being.

This is closest I have to come to programming Nirvana so far. The last time before this was when I used Perl.
Both make debugging harder. Rust, though, keeps a lot more safety in the whole process. The resulting code is syntactically what the macro author meant, by the types.

And, nobody really steps through code anymore. So a lot of the difficulty argument is moot.
but if you spend time in the village you build up a support network and its that support network that helps each other out in times of need.
Sure if all the fish die they're still screwed but you can always find a reason to scare yourself into thinking you'll encounter the uncommon.
Kotlin will get you these without the:

Foo foo = new Foo();

Nonsense. Highly recommended.
And the incentive/risk tradeoff is too much in favour of the former for optimistic entrepreneurs to ever think they'll be affected by something like this.
