Because non-gibberish doesn't mean "the best/most common way to communicate". If you speak in English like Yoda, the character from Star Wars, you're perfectly intelligible -- hence, you're not speaking gibberish -- even though (almost) no-one speaks that way in real life.

Gibberish means nonsense. If most people understand you, it's not nonsense.

Here's a shorter explanation of Lightning, with Solidity code: http://www.blunderingcode.com/a-lightning-network-in-two-pag...
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8265
Lightning is the solution and it's going to be great for making micro transactions w/ bitcoin again.

Lightning network is actual innovation and the next evolution in making Bitcoin easier to use for the masses. One step at a time.
Navajo code talked used code on top of the obscure language the Japanese eventually figured out that it was Navajo and so Native American soldiers were specifically targeted both on the battlefield and in PoW camps despite the vast majority of them not being able to speak Navajo and the majority of those who did, did not have knowledge of the code.
I’m all for ad-blocking and the existence of ad blockers.

But I really don’t like the idea of corporations making decisions about what ads we get to see. It’s a slippery slope to go down. The existence of an entity which may even be “blamed” by content creators for taking their money(not exactly, but to some extent) for not meeting a standard they virtually have very little control over is almost un-democratic.
And I won’t be surprised if there are some “oops, these guys meet all criterias but are still getting blocked” unintentionally(or even intentionally) by Google.

I don’t use Chrome very often, but I’d recommend everyone to disable this feature when it ships(and use ublock/other open source blockers if one has to).
Lightning involves an always-on, networked, machine holding your private key. Your bitcoin is a bounty for 0-day exploits. Brilliant!

You owed tax at the time, is the point here.

FATCA in particular has probably done more harm than good.

But if you want to live in the US, if you want to spend significant time in NYC or SF or Dyersville, Iowa, then federal, state and city taxes are the price of admission. If you don't, then sure: consult a lawyer about your options. He or she will probably counsel to not commit tax evasion.

That's a lot to unpack.

Generally speaking, the worst kind of legacy code is the kind that cannot be easily rewritten. That's why I particularly called out custom frameworks and custom languages. Replacing custom service implementations, in comparison, doesn't even count as "replacing stuff" since it's so trivial.

It's not in the company's best interest, generally, to write business-critical things in ways that are hard to replace and/or pivot on. This means that a company needs to account for the whims of "the ecosystem" in both its business plan and in its technical strategy. If it's a huge concern, the profit margins need to stay high enough and customer expectations need to stay flexible enough to mitigate the concern. Also, if "the ecosystem" is a huge concern, technical strategies also need to help mitigate. For example, if you're running the same JS code both client and server side and you're worried about changes in the client-side ecosystem, you might want to think about implementing the backend in something more boring and stable just to mitigate ecosystem risk.

Interesting, here's a good quote beyond the fact that it was already deciphered a century ago (by a 19th century historian, not a cryptanalyst working for a 3 letter agency in 2018):

> First, and contrary to what ABC says, this code is not very sophisticated. It is a monoalphabetic substitution system with homophones to which a set of terms of agreed language has been added. I have a handful of Spanish codes of the time and I can assure you that there are more sophisticated codes than this one. For example, the so-called Clave de los Capitulaciones is similar in form and structure, being at least ten years older; and the General Figure of the Catholic Kings, dated similar to that of the Great Captain, had no less than 670 terms in agreed language.

> Third, these types of keys were already vulnerable to cryptanalytic attacks at that time. Manias such as encrypting only part of the letter, or repeating the used encrypted terms, made them relatively easy to decipher by unauthorized users.

There's also a pictures of what the deciphered key looks like both in the 1800s version on old paper and the CNI's version on graph paper which is interesting.

I started working on it after become frustrated with Trello (admittedly I was trying to use it for things it was never intended to do). It’s geared heavily toward knowledge management, though I think it’s flexible enough it could probably serve in a variety of use cases. I have a long list of ideas for additional features and possible “card content” (beyond checklists). Some rough edges in the interface at this point, but quite usable (yea, this is a one-man project).

I like to think of it as a lightweight replacement for stuff like Confluence, if you don't need lots of enterprise-y features.

Why a No-Moonlighting Guideline Benefits Employees
The big barrier to outsourcing anything has always been information transfer. It's all very well handing a presentation over to a designer, but if they don't know what it should contain then they can't design it. In the end the spec document for the presentation ends up looking almost like the presentation itself.

Likewise, the office typing pool would probably be typing up a manager's hand writing. Ubiquitous typing skills now (at least in theory) should mean that the manager today spends no longer writing their document than they used to, but it comes out of that process already typed.

Ultimately something like MS Office essentially act as captured knowledge. They know how to lay out a presentation to your company standards, so you don't have to. The ideal (although nobody has quite got there yet) is that the tool is so seamless that the user can only spend their time worrying about the important bits - information transfer, in the case of a presentation.

Flight booking tools are now also so easy to use that the overhead for the person actually taking the flight is fairly minimal. That's not to say they couldn't be better, but we're almost at the point where you tell Sky Scanner that you want to travel from A to B on a certain date and it allows you to seamlessly book it. It's taken the place of the administrative assistant, who would still have had to consult you on where and when you wanted to go anyway. (Saying that, having an admin handle flight bookings is still easier than doing it yourself, so we do have some way to come here).
Cool.

I'd be interested in a study where an additional group replaced games/music with walking outside in the natural environment for 1 hr a day. Or since we know "exercise" increases brain mass, what specifically about exercise causes the response. Are the effects additive? Can we exercise, play music and video games for more than 1x the matter growth?

In Topicbox, we use emailed codes/magic links by default, but you can set a password and use that if you prefer (and if you want 2FA, you must use a password). We then use zxcvbn for password strength detection, denying weak passwords (those where it is estimated to take less than 10⁶ attempts to guess). I believe this is working well for us.

In FastMail, it’s much the same but without emailed codes as an option, because it is your email account that you’re trying to log in to.

I think we support almost arbitrary lengths and arbitrary Unicode in both now. (And note that due to how the fancier password hashing algorithms like bcrypt work, supporting beyond ~72 characters without loss of entropy actually tends to take deliberate design; and if you get it wrong, it can be a DoS vector—Django had such a problem a few years back, where you could feed it a 1MB password and keep it occupied hashing it for ages.)

I have wondered before how secure a single astral plane Unicode code point would be as a password. I haven’t investigated the question at all.

Following countries allow you to cash out Bitcoin tax free, if you're an early holder: the UK, Ireland, Cyprus, Malta, Belgium, Netherlands, possibly Germany, Switzerland, Singapore, the UAE, Monaco, the Channel Islands, Andorra, Italy (if you pay a €100k levy), Portugal, Singapore, and I probably forgot another dozen countries. Pretty much half of Western Europe.

If you have the money, most of these countries offer great quality of life. If you're sitting on a $100m gain.. it's worth it. A change of scenery isn't always bad in life. Personally I would never voluntarily pay 20% on a massive gain if there is a legal way to avoid it.

I guess what this article is implying is, since the US treasury does not know of the existence of these Bitcoins, people can easily renounce (committing US tax fraud in the process) and cash in.
To an uneducated eye (like mine), Venice looks inadaptable and bound to struggle, and eventually fail. Buildings require constant repair due to erosion. Too much water brings flooding, too little exposes mud and filth, and hinders transportation... I'm very curious to know what counter-measures are put in place to protect the city from these (and many more) dangers.
Except it is. At least half the world's land is unusable for agriculture, and often for habitation. And transport had to be btaen into account for area. And that leaves no space for any wilderness, forests etc. Which is impossible ecologically. Your theoretical arguments here have no practical value.
It's not about avoiding or saying no to chitchat, but taking positive control over your time. Focus on doing something rather than on not doing something.

I get what he's trying to say, but it's really a matter identifying the critical skills needed for your line of work, then building productive habits and killing inproductive ones - nobody said you HAVE to have funny memes in your presentation and in turn waste 20 minutes searching for them. So don't do it and voilà, one distraction less.

This is just incorrect. There are generally two types of people; some hate taxes, and the higher the gain the bigger the incentive is to move abroad (this generally does not apply to Americans, as they are taxed globally). And then you have people who don't care and would pay the tax either way -- whether it's set at 10% or 35%.

The point of something like this is that, wherever we continue to use liquid fuels, it'd be nice if they were carbon neutral. Jet aircraft will probably keep using jet fuel for quite a while, for example.

But of course we'd need some kind of non-carbon energy source to make the fuel. Right now maybe we get the best bang for the buck by applying those sources to the electric grid, but with a carbon price the market would work that out.
That's the worst! (for people like me at least)

But I've had this experience working at private offices as well. It's basically a problem anywhere with a) open-office plans and b) sales/marketing people who are in the same area as developers (sometimes startups outgrow a co-working space but aren't big enough for a seperated office).

This is why I work with headphones on the majority of the time whenever I'm in an office (coworking or otherwise). I have enough trouble self-regulating my attention without having to distract myself from others.
As the link in the post says, there is an exit tax in place to prevent just this. One of the qualifying prongs to be subject to the tax is "Individuals with a net worth of US$2 million or more as of the expatriation date." That's not liquid net worth, or realized net worth, it's just plain old net worth. If you are subject to the tax, all your assets are deemed sold as of the date of expatriation as income tax on the phantom gains are owed.

Of course someone could hope to stay off the radar or move to a non-extradition country and try to thumb their nose at the USG, but there's a big difference between a loophole existing and the fact that enforcement isn't always perfect.
I was considering it a few years back myself, but then I went and spent some time in Malaysia and couldn't fall in love with it. I ended up in Thailand and much prefer it here. I recommend spending some time in Malaysia before you take up the MM2H program.
