The fee structure is weird, agreed.
> [..] Then the voting protocol asserts a proof of stake, such that Byzantine voters are penalized and honest/correct voters are rewarded.

How do you decide which one is a "Byzantine" voter? A minority is not necessarily dishonest. If you penalise a minority, at each step at most ceil(n/2-1) of the group will lose their stake, even if they were honest. That sounds overly-harsh.
As long as channels like The CW will play 5 minutes of ads (half of them being for The CW) for every 10 minutes of "The Flash," torrenting will never die. Sorry, but that's fucking ridiculous.

Similar experience. The app is fine, but the quality of shoppers usually isn't. Lots of forgotten items, unacceptable replacements, or just getting the wrong thing entirely. Once had a shopper who didn't know cucumbers from zucchini. Another time, we ordered 2 pounds of shrimp and got...2 shrimp. Just two little shrimp! Honestly, who would even think it makes sense that we would've ordered two individual shrimp? I've had so many bad experiences that I don't ever plan to use Instacart again.
> I'm OK with missing items, I'll just get a refund and deal with it. It's still far far better than dealing with a physical grocery store.

Curious. Why do you say that? I use Instacart as a timesaver, or as a way to accomplish what I can't due to other obligations.

> The idea that the USG is actively hunting Assange is his main excuse for hiding out in the Ecuadorian embassy. The main source of that idea, as far as I can tell, is Assange and the evidence for it is very thin indeed.

Well, yes. But given some of the statements of US officials and the way people on the US govt's shitlist (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Carruthers for instance) have been dealt with in the past lends some credence to this claims.

If any foreigners made it to the doubtful status of being on a list of secret indictments I would very much expect Assange to be one of them.

The fact that there is no proof is the expected status, it does not in any way reduce the likelihood of this being the case.

> The idea that the USG is actively hunting Assange is his main excuse for hiding out in the Ecuadorian embassy.

No, he most likely really believes this. Whether or not it is true is another matter but since the US government has never stated the opposite without qualification it will have to remain in limbo.

This reminds me of my bioinformatics class. The final project was to reproduce the results of a famous paper in the field.

All of us spent _weeks_ trying to do it. Nobody succeeded. The more we dug into the paper, the more holes appeared. There were variables missing in the paper, assumptions not covered, datasets not properly specified, etc. It made reproduction nearly impossible; like winning the lottery. Imagine trying to recreate the results of a deep learning paper without the paper specifying _any_ information about the layers used, their sizes, or any hyperparameters.

The professor was equally mystified.

Years later I learned this kind of pseudo-science is rife in the field of bioinformatics. I felt both a sense of relief in knowing we weren't crazy, and disappointment. I actually really liked that class; the field of bioinformatics fascinated me. But realizing what a cesspool it was, left me disappointed.

I'm glad machine learning as a field has taken proactive steps to avoid these exact kinds of issues. It's now common practice in ML to publish code and models alongside your papers, and most ML libraries allow deterministic training. This makes reproduction of results easy. It's a breath of fresh air. That doesn't obviate all problems. Methodologies and conclusions are still up for debate in any given paper. But at least the experiments themselves are reproducible. And if you question the methodology or some aspect of the experiment, you can go in and augment the experiment yourself.

Everytime this question comes up I am powerless to resist re-implementing it.

for (i = 1; i < 101; i++) {

int div3 = 0 == i % 3;
int div5 = 0 == i % 5;

if (div3 || div5) {
printf("%s%s\n",
div3 ? "fizz" : "",
div5 ? "buzz" : "");
} else {
printf("%d\n", i);
}
}

I will admit, it took me 4 tries to get this to compile.

Having military posts doesn't make that territory part of an Empire if the US doesn't exert much political control over the host country.

I'd probably call Gitmo part of an empire, since the presence is hostile. But the rest of those bases is more or less volunatry. Ok maybe Japan and can't really say no, but the rest of those bases are voluntary.

If America has an empire, it's rather small. Puerto Rico, Guam, American Somoa, Northern Mariana Islands, and US Virgin Islands.

Apple HomePod review: Only Siri fans should consider this bass bomb
Folic acid is added to bread and cereal these days in pretty big amounts (most cereal bowls will have 100% of the daily dose 400mcg and fortified foods like bread or pasta also would have 100% or close to it per serving) and any baby formula has more than enough vitamin d and other vitamins in it.

Edit: https://ods.od.nih.gov/factsheets/Folate-HealthProfessional/...

In the US and the rest of the developed world pretty much most grain products are fortified with Folic Acid (as well as other vitamins) these days and have been for about 20 years.

Yes it is. Don't kid yourself thinking that we are a class above Reddit or something.

This burden of research that some impose upon others is bullshit. If one is intellectually omnivorous they do not keep links of all their findings handy, it is simply not possible. This incessant wailing for citations is an activity fit for gutter-snipes, not productive software engineers.
The tone of your comment aside...

Is it so hard for you to believe that a group of corporate leaders can think that doing something (a strategy) can serve their user, their purpose, and their bottom line all at the same time, equally? It's probably one of the most prevalent self delusions in the corporate world...

In fact, I'd argue that the smarter the group of leaders think they are, the more likely they are to fall into said delusion... Since they'll think more of their strategies...

In response to your second point... Considering a large portion of Zuckerberg's wealth is in Facebook stock, and that Facebook also owns one of its chief competitors... I doubt it.

Really don't know why you're being downvoted, but I agree.

I prefer protecting my time whenever I can (read: I'm lazy) and I've personally found instacart to be an invaluable service. Whether it's a late night wine delivery from BevMo, bulk shopping from Costco (I don't have a membership and almost never remember to bring bags with me to their store), or just the weekly stuff from Safeway/Wholefoods, it's really been a godsend from the POV of saving time that I can repurpose for anything else.

I don't know about the millions comment, but if you're willing to pay a premium for the convenience then it's certainly worth it. I certainly feel that way.

Do you ask Whole Foods what they pay for bananas? Do you care what the markup is at Walmart? Who cares how much InstaCart is charging.

If you're pinching pennies, InstaCart isn't a service for you.
Right, but you get tax rebates up front, so if it goes down next year it won't effect any funds you have already put in the hole.
Slack handles this quite well actually. I know a lot of people dislike Slack for a lot of valid reasons, but they handle a few things right. If I type a message on Slack saying "hey, @alice, what's up?" then "@alice" gets replaced with the person's real name "Alice". When I send the message, the "Alice" bit in the resulting message becomes a link that will open the user's profile. Additionally, if "Alice" ever changes her name OR username, the name updates accordingly.

Ah thanks for the check. I would still recommend getting a motherboard with Display Port(DP) to future proof the core components. I bought a gaming monitor 2 months back, and it came with only the DP cable. I see DP recommended by most game rig builders.
Yep, lesson learned.
Personally I've found in multiple fields its often harder to quantify, categorize, and explicitly memorize things than it is to just learn them. Usually the most important items are semi abstract (how to organize, when to optimize) or just keep coming up so frequently, you don't really need to plan around it. The repetition that comes from regular work cements a _ton_ of knowledge you don't even realize you are picking up -- its just part of the job. I do take regular notes (on a notes app I'll finish one day, https://www.striatum.io/) but I use them more for reference, reflection, and to just off-load my mind when I have too many thoughts floating about.

I strongly urge you to read Vitalik Buterin; he's written a great deal on many core subjects in crypto and is a far better writer and analyst than most.

Bitcoin exists and is successful precisely because miners control authorship of the public ledger. The entire point of proof-of-work is to ensure this. The essential observation, and really the key invention of Bitcoin, is that you ensure that no single party can control authorship to the blockchain unless they control a majority of the mining power, which is very expensive. Furthermore, control of authorship is directly correlated to investment in the network; capital investment in mining equipment, continued investment in electricity for hashing, and value extracted from that in the form of the cryptocurrency itself. In other words, those who are most able to attack the network also have the most to lose by doing so. This is the foundation upon which Bitcoin is built.

Ethereum is a different story because of smart contracts and the potential move to proof-of-stake (Casper). But these arguments don't apply to Bitcoin. There are also people involved in Bitcoin that have political/development disagreements with miners, and thus seek to advocate that 'users' can/do control the network. I recommend a critical reading of both 'sides' and to reach your own conclusions.
Ah, if only there was a 1:1 correspondence between what is "legal" and what is "ethical/fair"...

I used them as my sole source of groceries for about 3 years and had no problems with products or deliveries at any point.

I do agree about the fees, which I always unchecked and I always tipped the driver in cash despite Instacart urging me not to. In my case the driver was also the shopper on every delivery, but I understand that's not how it always works and tipping cash is a bad idea when they're different people.
Fed doesn't have much room to play with interest rates currently, and won't until we see a meaningful pickup in productivity, or else they risk further depressing investment into productive assets and rerouting it into speculative assets (high interest rate = high cost of borrowing/lending = high friction = slows economy down).

We would observe a productivity increase through wage growth, as would be expected in a high employment environment (high demand for labor, low supply sets price of labor [wages] high) but I don't see anything from my viewpoint within the embedded and IoT industry that will meaningfully increase productivity in the near future. So more of the same we are experiencing now

Unless you see some new tech that will improve productivity, in which case please do share!

I think you should absolutely understand any third party systems/libraries you use, especially when it is as important as authentication. Using a third party component doesn't free you up to be lazy or to use it incorrectly.

My comment was stating that you should default to these types of libraries and only roll your own if you can't do what you need to, simply because they're more likely to handle edge cases that can have serious implications.

A month or two ago, sure - TX congestion had driven up fees to ridiculous levels. Now that the congestion has cleared, I can once again send hundreds of thousands of USD across the world for less than a dollar.
