You didn't mention the $50K minimum, which obviously weeds out most people who would want to claim USDT->USD:

For the time being, we will only process requests above $50,000 in size. We believe that by the time we are able to get to the smaller withdrawals, other, less cumbersome
My rambling brain confounded a few studies I had read.

My mistake. I was incorrect about the study being related to adoptions. It was actually something interesting that happened in Germany. I had read an environmental interpretation of the Eyferth Study: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eyferth_study
We had a lot of discussion about how the user interface was bad and confusing.

Turns out, that was not the issue!
Very excited about the pytorch version of this course. Will you offer more NLP focused materials in future courses. I've found that the majority of the deep learning materials gravitate towards vision and image classification.
Thanks for explaining, also to the others.

> I'm not sure if you're arguing I'm mistaken, or the that the whole idea is wrong. But this is what many languages do and it's all very conventional terminology and practice.

Neither, I just felt the terminology not fitting, I'd have called it id generation and left out the hash. V8 is generating the hash/id in the hash function, not doing something directly with the input or computing it (as in, calculating) from the input, right?

Like if the hash terminology was added because one came from hash tables. I guess what I meant is that using and storing a random number here feels like a trick to fulfill the contract of a hash function without actually implementing one, since those usually look different (but I'm more used to see cryptographic hash functions). My definition of a hash function includes returning a word of fixed length, in practice that is not relevant here because the numerical representation is the same (001 = 01 = 1). But apart from that I can see now that the shown scheme fulfills the contract of a non-cryptographic hash function, the storing of the id and the virtual identity make it somehow fit.

I don’t know if that is even possible within the confines of the UK’s latter-day (uncodified) constitutional monarchy, but the Queen resuming the practice of unilaterally imposing laws upon Parliament and the Realm at large would be one of the most terrifying regressions of the past several centuries.

Besides, the scenario you depict further reinforces my argument that there’s a “trusted root” at the apex of our democracies and that this entity (whether the Queen, or Parliament, or Congress, or the President, or whatever-have-you) can pursue its own interests with abandon, and there’s nothing we buggers further down the pyramid can do to prevent it.
It happened on my 6s after less than a year. Despite what's said about how it was only done 'during intensive operations' or something like that, it was apparent and a major pain all the time, making every operation seem slow.

> However, because older generations are typically in a good financial situation, having profited both from the pre-80's social contract, and often, from its disassembly - it's not at all narcissitic to care about personal concerns! It's absolutely rational - they aren't going to become homeless if they decide to go on a buddhist retreat, or engage in a messy divorce, or start a new career.

Thank you for your earnest and thoughtful post.

I'd like to say that it is to some extent narcissistic to sacrifice future generation's wellbeing to satisfy present desires and I think it is reasonable for millennials too accuse baby boomers and, to a lesser extent, genX'rs of that fault. I am an X'er and, admitting their faults, I get upset when I hear millennials held up for undo scorn, given the cards they have been dealt.

They are, they just don't care. The State Dept will likely issue a ban on their facilities which personnel will adhere to. Other military installations like Special Forces bases or regular Army bases overseas probably will issue a memorandum ("Be Vigilant!"), but I predict they won't stop using the devices. State Department facilities are the only places that they try to hide from others. Not that people and equipment are operating out of them (because that's impossible), but that they are State Department facilities to begin with.

I personally measured road surface temperature of 165º on a road in Texas a few summers ago. It was a hot day, but not unusually so for August.

The road wasn't even blacktop, it was "tar and chip", which is much lighter in color and tends to absorb less heat than pure blacktop asphalt.
Whether you like it or not, people want to get their "shitcoins" early. It's also what I believe may be the #1 reason why crypto-exchanges aren't way more centralized right now, and why Coinbase doesn't own 80% of the market, as Mt.Gox used to.

No single exchange can keep up with every new cryptocurrency, so people start creating accounts with all the exchanges, and then start preferring the new ones if they also bring overall site improvements over the incumbents, and eventually dump the incumbents. This is healthy for the cryptocurrency market. If this wouldn't have happened, things could have been a lot worse with centralized exchanges.

I don't know what the "final form" of this ecosystem will be, but I hope it will be something like the internet. Decentralized exchanges essentially being "protocols" like TCP, which link all the cryptocurrencies (servers) and users (clients) with each other, and everyone can "exchange" (connect) one cryptocurrency to another.

But unlike the internet, I hope there will be a much bigger emphasis on P2P connections/transactions, and that we won't sacrifice that just to get a little more performance or more convenience. There will be such more centralized cryptocurrencies, too, just like today's internet continues to have huge walled gardens like Facebook, but hopefully it won't be the majority of them.
Up until this year many Americans could use USDT for accounting purposes. The IRS deemed crypto property (1031 exchange) meaning you could use like kind treatment and not pay taxes on the transactions ad they were both property. This treatment has officially ended in 2018.

Like I said, the 2-man rule is a solved problem.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-man_rule

What does Bob do when he goes to the toilet? He asks Steve to cover him.

So if you need 2 people to send an alert, when Bob is at the console, and Steve is secondary, when Steve has to go to the toilet, he asks Jill to cover him. Alternatively a backup authorization method could be used.

It does mean having 3 people available at all times, but since there are life-safety implications of real alerts as well as false alerts, it seems like a reasonable safeguard to have.

Allegedly, some exchanges commingle USD and USDT without informing their users.
For exchanges that don't do that, the question "Why would exchanges even touch it ?" is less applicable.

As to why end users would touch it, that's obvious - a (potentially misguided) belief that things will work out fine.

I can't remember where, but there's some version of that regex somewhere that uses variables for interpolation in subsequent regexes.

Viewed like that it's really not that complex, most of it is repetition of previously used regex sequences, it's only when fully expanded that it becomes so humongous.
Token transfers are much faster than wires/ACH and have less regulatory overhead. It benefits you to sell your bitcoins for USDT on one exchange and send the tether to another one. This is much faster and cheaper than selling for real USD and wiring the money to the second exchange.

Or hypothetically you could pay for stuff that's priced in dollars without the friction and fees of the traditional banking system. I don't think anybody actually does that though.

It's a way of combine the advantages of cryptocurrency - speed, fees, lack of regulation - with the stability of fiat currencies.

Not very stable if the issuer is insolvent though.
Can't use the object content since that can change.

It is not uncommon to use the state of an object to derive the hash code. It of course puts the burden to ensure that objects do not change in undesired ways while they are required to yield a stable hash code, for example while used as a key in a hash table, onto the developer. One common solution is to restrict the hash code calculation to immutable parts of the state, for example an ID.

The advantage of deriving the hash code from the state is that you can use the hash code to speed up object equality tests, i.e. if the hash codes of two objects do not match, they can not be equal.

I take it you've never driven in the American west.

From San Antonio to El Paso interstate 10 is 550 miles of extremely smooth, well designed divided highway with speed limits of 80 mph for much of the way. There is almost nothing of interest between those two points, esp. if your trip objective is somewhere west.

You'd be insane to not run at the maximum safe speed of your vehicle.

Many RV trailer tires are only rated to 65 mph, although there are some 80 mph rated ones becoming common because people are so tempted to gain back those extra hours of travel time slowing to 65 involves.

There are two parts - one is the authority to request something (issue a subpoena) and the second is the ability to enforce penalties if the request is not satisfied.

They have the authority to issue a subpoena because Bitfinex had US-based customers.

The ability to enforce it is a bit trickier, but there are two things - first, it's plausible that they can get cooperation from local authorities; and second, they are able to seize USD transfers to/from them.

>monotheism of Moses

Was Moses a monotheist, though? I thought that at the time depicted in the Pentateuch, the Israelites were henotheists - they believed that there were many gods but that YHWH was the only one worthy of worship.
It is not seen as a problem by the regular military. Kinda hard to hide tanks and artillery pieces and soldiers with iPads and C-130s flying into airfields from locals in countries where having a car is a luxury. Locals can get better information about the bases from people working on the bases, or from just watching them. There is basically nothing you can get from this heatmap that you couldn't get from really any local living near the place. It's the other non-military facilities that would care about this.

Also consider nearly all of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are "premined" in the sense that only a few early adopters control more then half the supply due to how the work readjustment algorithms are skewed to generate all the coins very easy for a few users but later new users don't have equal access to produce coins as easily or cheaply as those other users.
Adversarial examples don’t actually have to be generated with the same neural network. If you want to attack another NN, you can make your own with similar training data and similar structure and the attacks can carry over to some extent.
Wow, this is really a great resource. I wish it had been available a few years back when I took the free online version of CS231n.

If nothing else, an interesting side effect of this whole discussion is the realization that 5.57 is even possible. Previously the highest scores besides Todd's were multiple 5.61s. The way the game works is that 5.57 is only achievable on certain starting frames. Any one of those 5.61s could've been 5.57s but we never knew until now.
That's still not an intrinsic value: it's a consensus value.

Intrinsic value is the value it has even if it is not thought of as a currency or unit of trade.

I’m hoping archaeologists will finally find something that has undoubtedly been inside the Great Pyramid since it was built that they can carbon-date. There’s a surprisingly large amount of fairly circular thinking involved in dating some of the more impressive monuments in at the Giza Plateau, and though for sure the conspiracy theory/aliens built ‘em theories are bunk, I am really looking forward to breaking out of the loops with objective external validation.

I've attempted to use git with my students learning to code, and for the most part, the workflow is too complicated, even with GUI tools. The mental load that it adds is quite high when there is already a massive load of learning the basics of programming and/or a new language. That said, I still think it's vitally important to learn revision management from quite early on, I just haven't yet found the right tools for it.
Principles for building a distributed team
A large part of it is because for most programmers, it is the only way to demonstrate growth in their own skills.

Relatively few developers get to lead projects, design truly interesting systems and so on. Most developers, especially in bespoke business software, end up writing large amounts of fairly un-challenging code day in day out.

But then if you just churn out the same sort of business logic for years on end, with little access to problems that are inherently challenging, how do you feel any advancement in your craft? For many developers it is through over-engineering or pointless re-engineering.

Common signs: tasks that are actually trivial suddenly start using home-grown frameworks. Obsession with vague rarely defined terms like "best practices", "clean code", "modularity" etc. An insistence that practices which were once considered an advance were actually a regression, like the recent trend to claiming that exceptions are bad because they make control flow "hard to understand", which justifies rewriting everything to use return codes, or XML is bad because everyone claims it is, but JSON with schemas is totally not the same and definitely how architectures are done Right™.

To get a perfectly simple design and implementation that is nonetheless powerful you really need a perfect match between the time/capabilities of the engineer and the inherent difficulty of the problem. That way the developer's mental energies will all be spent designing something that will work, and relatively little is left over for inventing new config file formats.

How are the rear seats? Saw the S and X in a car show. Got in the rear of the S, holy crap, because of the battery underneath, as an adult you're basically squatting when you sit in the back (this guy is only partially sitting: https://youtu.be/XGjlSOGgDXI?t=28).

Edit: looking at some other car reviews, it seems it's a normal way to sit in the back, but in the Model S I felt like my knees were bent so much more.
That only applies to the special withdrawal provision for US customers. Taiwanese domestic wires of all sizes have been flowing unimpeded this whole time.
Actually, it looks like sometime in the past few weeks Tether changed their terms to say they do let you redeem your USDT:

"About Tether Tokens; General Restrictions: Tether issues and redeems Tether Tokens. Tether Tokens may be used, kept, or exchanged online wherever parties are willing to accept Tether Tokens. Tether Tokens are fully backed by the currency or property used to purchase them at issuance. Tether Tokens are denominated in a range of currencies. For example, if you purchase EURT, your Tethers are fully backed by Euros. If you cause to be issued EURT 100.00, Tether holds €100.00 to back those Tether Tokens. The range of currencies available to denominate Tether Tokens is within the sole control and at the sole and absolute discretion of Tether. Tether Tokens are backed by money, but they are not money themselves. Tether will not issue Tether Tokens for consideration that is other Digital Tokens (for example, bitcoin), and will not redeem Tether Tokens for other Digital Tokens; only money will be accepted upon issuance, and only money will be provided upon redemption.In order to cause Tether Tokens to be issued or redeemed by Tether, you must be a verified customer of Tether. No exceptions will be made to this provision. "

(all typos and spacing are theirs. This change looks very hastily put together and quite sketchy)

It used to say some stuff about how USDT isn't actually redeemable, etc...

You are assuming that running and advertising business is profitable. If this is the case then yes, running an advertising business plus X always gives you an advantage over just doing X. This is true no matter what X is, even if X is unrelated to advertising, or even just doing nothing. I’m not sure in what sense this means that the game is rigged (unless of course the bidding process is unfair).
I think the robots send their lower paid servants to do such tasks nowadays.
"Open: Bulletin stories are public and easy to discover: on Google search, through social networks, or via links sent by email and messaging apps"

I'm not a fan of Google these days by any stretch of the imagination, but if they're sincere about making Bulletin content truly open and accessible via the web and not stuck in a proprietary mobile app silo, then this could be a good thing. The recent trend of large companies towards closing themselves off from the open web is troubling, so any new content platform that makes openness a priority is something to applaud.
