I could maybe see your concern if Keybase were announcing an ICO for their own token, but that is not what this is.

This really is about Keybase bringing expertise with identity to the table and it makes a lot of sense for the two teams to work together. The currency side of things is still going to be handled by Stellar as far as I can tell.
Does anybody have an economist that they like who is writing intelligently about housing pricing right now?

You see 27% in SV, and almost 20% in subs like Oakland and it's hard not to remember the couple of years leading up to the 2007 crash when word on the street was "buy now or you will never be able to afford"

I bought on that advice and took a 35% haircut in a good market a few years later.
You are being compensated for it. You get to use Facebook, Gmail, Google Search, etc. without taking out your wallet.

I just stayed in a Fairfield Inn & Suites on 58th last month for 4 nights (including Friday / Saturday) at $590 total ($147.50 per night). It wasn't luxury by any means, but it was perfectly nice. Also, the taxes were $90 of that, so 15%, not 25%.
The lay audience might ignore semi-prime and just interpret it as prime. Or the author did that.
They don't have to be photos of this lighthouse. Two photos of Old faithful showing the same spray and cloud patterns could be mistaken for copy's of each other.

Another way of thinking about it, what are the odds that out of the ~1,000 photos taken of the same moment they are of the same subject? Now repeat that question 10 million times and the odds don't seem as low.
yes,

same as with every other deal on AppSumo ... I wasn't promised Zapier integration from Mailshake, but have it ... I wasn't promised image templates from Missinglettr, but have them .... etc. this is how AppSumo deals just are ... because they promise lifetime licence

When you go to McDonalds anywhere in the world, you expect a similar cheeseburger because of the brand/platform ... when you get used to the same cheeseburgers and then suddenly you get something awful ... you would be surprised too .. and outraged at McDonalds

Did you even look at the facebook thread in the link? There are now dozens of other disappointed people, you can't have that unless you set a wrong expectation. There are countless other AppSumo lifetime deals that don't have any problems like this, because they do upgrade us on features as expected. If you can't deliver on it, then don't sell it right?
How JavaScript works: tracking changes in the DOM using MutationObserver
In general, if the transactions are gathered together in blocks, and it is blocks that are secured on the chain using cryptography, and it is designed to be tamper-resistant and produce immutable records, the system qualifies as a blockchain

That works for me.

> cities aren't tourist destinations, people live and work there.

Cities are both in various ratios. Those cities that tourists particularly value should probably allocate a large proportion of their limited housing to tourists, those cities that people particularly value living and working in should probably allocate a large proportion of their houses to homes. Fortunately the market can sort this out.
> I'm not sure how Stellar helps you in this regard

Stellar does not use proof of work.

AFAIK Keybase are a for-profit private company.
Okay, so to describe what happened here in your terms:

1. I stated the proximate cause.

2. You disagreed, because you wanted to use "want" to describe ultimate rather than proximate causes.

3. Now you're agreeing with the proximate cause I stated and still insisting on your ultimate cause.

Do you see why this might be considered pedantic? You disagreed with what I said based on a meaning of the word "want", when in fact the way I was using the word "want" is correct?

The problem with ultimate causes is that because they're further away from the effect they're describing, so it's fairly difficult to establish a causal relationship.

Sex and reproduction have a well-developed constructive theory (evolution) around them--the causal relationship is believed to be true because evolution predicts it and also predicts a wide variety of things which we know to be true. But even so, evolution can be difficult to tie to phenomena--for example, it takes a fairly deep understanding of evolution to understand how evolution is compatible with homosexuality.

I can see how your ultimate cause might cause the phenomena we're discussing, but that simply means that the hypothesis is viable and worth testing--it doesn't yet indicate any evidence for your hypothesis. So again I'm still saying: you haven't provided any evidence for what you're saying. You may have evidence for your assertion, but you certainly haven't presented it.

Even if you have evidence for this: how is insisting on an ultimate cause a response to my original point? I said that "Expressing a commitment to political neutrality is a good move for a news source, because it costs no money and most people want their news sources to be neutral." The point being that we shouldn't trust that news sources are neutral or even trying to be neutral simply because they express a commitment to neutrality. Even if you're right, your jumping in to disagree with completely irrelevant information was, frankly, rude.

I'm not sure at this point whether I believe you intended to talk about ultimate versus proximal causes, or if you're just smart and managed to come up with that after the fact as a way to not have to admit you were wrong. Either way, I'm not going to respond to further comments on this thread.
We're talking about two different things here; in Uber's case, they were given access to an API in a completely above-board way. There was a legitimate reason, the access was used to work around a hardware limitation in a temporary way.

In this case, you're talking about something that completely bypasses the entitlement/permission control of the OS, something which both Apple and Google have no reason to ever add. Uber actually used a private one with Apple's consent, (the com.private.apple- entitlement) while there is no evidence of any such private APIs being used in the Facebook apps.

Calling people trolls when you disagree with them because of your own misunderstanding isn't allowed here.

Well the preference of the Midwest would be never.

A rapid influx of rich people is never good the people who were there first.

From my understanding, it's not even a matter of upgrading. Two neighbors with exactly identical homes, who have lived in the same city for 20 years, wouldn't be able to sell their houses to one another (for a net gain of $0 each) without triggering a massive tax increase for both parties.
Relevant XKCD: https://xkcd.com/1782/
There must be a study out there demonstrating that people systematically undervalue (or outright neglect) cost-of-living in a region when taking a job offer. One of my friends graduated from my phd prog (uc san diego) a few months ago and immediately took a job offer in SF. He said it was his best offer by more than $20k/yr. Every time I've spoken with him since, he complains about how expensive it is to live there and how much he pays for rent for an apartment in Berkeley area. Though when I ask if he is considering looking for a job elsewhere soon, he just says nah, the money is too good to leave. The thing is, even knowing this, I can totally see myself in an interview soon, somewhere in the valley, and getting an offer that makes me go 'well shit, how could i not afford a nice apartment on that salary'. How bad is it guys? Could someone making $140k/yr ever expect to be a homeowner in SF/SV?

We should build higher and increase the density of housing. Building dense housing will also help end the housing shortage that raises rents and makes people homeless. One of the roots of the housing shortage is in the zoning laws that limit how much housing can be built on a plot of land. We can't make housing inexpensive while keeping it low density.

This is factually incorrect. There are rules regarding the bidding process for buying a property in the Netherlands (Amsterdam model, Haarlem model or closed bidding with deadline), but none of them include a part where the second highest price is used.
People are interested in factoring numbers in context of breaking RSA encryption, so they knew factored number is not a prime. Also quantum algorithms are probabilistic so getting "it is a prime result" isn't very trustworthy. When we get actual factors it is easy to verify that with division/multiplication on classical CPU.

It's like if people involved in:

It seems less like you're being given a free piece of asbestos and more like you're being given tongs for holding some asbestos if you choose. Allowing one technology to work with another is different than marrying two technologies in an inseparable way.

I live in Portland but I’m in the same boat you are. My wife and I make a decent amount of money ($120k+) but a combination of student debt, crazy housing prices, and lack of wealthy family members who can “gift” a down payment leaves me fairly hopeless that we’ll ever be able to buy a house of our own.

We’ve seriously considered moving to the Midwest or the South where houses are affordable, but neither of our jobs allow fully remote work, very few cities in those areas have any sort of tech presence, and we’d be leaving pretty much every family member across the country.
I thought biboumi also supported Slack natively, but I might have been mixing it up with one of the others. Spectrum maybe? "I've always heard that using a third party gateway which uses the Slack API to communicate with slack is a better experience" is probably what I should have said.
It's possible, but in my experience, frowned upon for some reason.
For at least one quantum computer you would need a way to encode the number in the qbit states as well as the algorithm, I think. It seems like something that may require a specially engineered quantum computer.
> from the point of view of the photon the moment of it's emission and detection are the same. It's traveling at the speed of light...

From the perspective of the photon (really kind of silly since the photon can't have any mass, and therefore no observer), there is no time or distance traveled. It takes 0 time to travel 0 distance.
I mean on an individual basis.

And I'm skeptical about your assessment that this is merely a problem with "Western Capitalism". This is a problem of any system that doesn't have proper regulations to define the rules of the game in a fair way.

I understand what they are doing.

Here's how normal people look at something like this. It's not "oh, but they're just facilitating," it's "why is there cryptocoin crap in this thing we use for work?". Then it's "Ed, why is this thing you recommended and spoke so highly about doing this? Are they cryptomining on our computers now?". Then, even after an explanation, they're probably still suspicious and probably right to still be suspicious because the cryptocurrency universe is, by normal and sane people, still viewed as a scammer's paradise. (To be clear: is this entirely justified? No, and I think there are decent people trying to make a go of it. But there's plenty of dirt going on and people should be suspicious until it's proven otherwise.)

I don't want this on my computers. But, more than that, I don't want my clients thinking that I am a party to shady business because of the tools I recommend that they use.

Indeed, fair concern: Will making these LEGOs differently cause this to be less so? Will becoming "sustainable" degrade the lifetime of LEGO collections over time?

(Honestly, this may be a reasonable issue for LEGO at some point. Nobody in their right mind throws LEGOs away, someday it will hardly make sense to buy new LEGOs because there will be so many in the market already.)
OK. The issue arose because the expired certificate wasn't countersigned by a timestamp server.

So many comments agree that (a) security is hard, (b) countersigning with a timestamp server is easy to miss, (c) countersigning makes build processes difficult, and (d) they've done or seen similar things in other apps/companies.

This sounds like a classic UI/UX issue for developers around a literally mandated and mission-critical requirement of the OS.

At the least, MS should provide a validation tool to surface errors or risks before production. Better, signtool.exe should make omissions (like a timeserver) very difficult and make them an override, not a default. Best, they would do both.

I don't agree that the OS should reject non-timestamped signatures as faulty per se (and throw an error), as that puts the burden on the user to understand a developer's mistake. Sometimes running without a timestamp may be desirable - ultimately that's the dev's choice.

It should just be a choice made explicitly.
The simple explanation and (maybe scary) truth is that we're a lot more predictable than we think.

Remember when Target got into hot water for outing a pregnant teenager based on an assortment of items she bought [1]? That was based on items like scent-free soap, cotton balls, and vitamin supplements.

That was 6 years ago and (no offense to Target) done by a company that isn't nearly as adept at doing that kind of targeted advertising or inference.

For example, Facebook might know (hypothetically) that you're a young adult in the tech field who lives in Brooklyn and spends a lot of time looking at photography or you're friends with a lot of amateur photographers. So they show you ads for high-end cameras from the most popular vendors, knowing that you're likely to develop an interest in photography if you haven't already.

That's just an extremely simple example, you can imagine that there are far more subtle indicators about someone's interests or likely interests (like the cotton balls for pregnancy).

The timing is almost certainly a coincidence. It's far more likely they show you those ads all the time and you're just noticing them when the coincidence occurs because you're on high alert now for things like this.

Nothing, so long as you want the home more than your absurdly large amount of money. Otherwise, all it takes is the existence of another high bid to make you pay your absurdly large amount of money minus epsilon. You may experience buyer's remorse and wish you had the pile of money over the home.

Alternatively, if there is no other high bidder, then you would have gotten the home with a lower bid. The scheme is quite clever in how it incentivizes every bidder to bid exactly what they value the asset at.

I’m going to assume you haven’t used many bits of medical equipment, because doing it for a job leads me to conclude that the software is more flakey than standard commercial software used day to day. Low sales volumes do not make for budgets high enough to support good debugging and development I guess.
Nothing stops that, but presumably there is a "Max price" you are actually willing to pay. If more than one person uses the absurd bid strategy then you're screwed, so the incentive is to just put down your true Max price willing to pay.

Theories with evidence to support them.
You're suggesting that an individual VC partner requires relocation because it will increase the value of his home? I doubt the effect would be strong enough, especially because the type of homes that VC partners live in ($5M-25M) are in a somewhat different market than the homes that VC-backed startup employees would purchase/rent.

I would think that relocation requirements would be primarily motivated by factors related to the value of being in SV for networking and other purposes.

Author here,
I wrote Robinhood for desktop out of the necessity of staying up to date with my Robinhood investments.

It's open source - https://github.com/sagivo/StockStalk

Like you, I spend most of my day in front of a computer and I need a quick way to see how my Robinhood portfolio is doing.

StockStalk will show you your status on the mac bar (green/red) and click on the tray will show you how each stock is doing. I also plan to allow buy and sell directly within the app. This way there is no need to check your phone all the time and get notified via desktop notifications on sharp changes. At the moment I have a mac and windows versions but linux is coming soon.

Important to notice that no sensitive information is sent to anywhere. the credentials are all stored locally and sync directly with Robinhood API.

Take a look and tell me what you think. Hope you'll find it useful as it's for me.
Reducing bias in the hiring process
>For some services I agree with your sentiment. But we don't have metrics so there's no way to know if this is a fair deal.

"fair" is practically a weasel word. It doesn't have a universal standard. It doesn't mean anything until you explain what you consider to be fair. I once read a book on negotiations that called it "the F-word" - it was warning you to be wary of people using the word against you.

Think of this as a transaction between two parties doing business together. When business A is making a deal with business B, then A is not entitled to know how much money B will make out of it. It's perfectly fine to ask, but B not answering is very much within the rules (and is the norm). It is your job to do your own research to figure out how valuable your information is to them.

I also often see an attitude of "They make $20/year from the information I give them. So I should have the option to pay them $20/year for not tracking me." No business deal works that way. Each party sets their own requirements. If you demand that they offer paid services to stop tracking you, they get to say "No - you're welcome to use someone else's service if they give you that kind of a deal"

Finally, the way negotiations work: The focus will not be on what they make from your money, but how much you are willing to pay for the services you receive. The majority of people I know will not pay $10/mo for their email service. So the fact that Google may make $30/year from your use of Gmail is irrelevant. This is your BATNA.

>Remember, they're showing us ads in addition to collecting volumes of information on us, so we're paying in two ways.

And in how many ways are they paying you in services? Far more, I imagine.

>Here in the US, we cried tyranny when our security agencies were collecting metadata to monitor threats. And then we gave everything we had to Facebook and Google and didn't bat an eye as they sold us to anyone who pays.

We probably hang out in different crowds, but while government monitoring did make the news, the percentage of people I personally know who cared about it was less than those I know who say "I'm using a service other than the one provided by Google because they're already tracking me in so many ways".

BTW, although I use some Google services, by and large I do not. I do not actively use Gmail. It was very difficult for me to get used to the idea of letting them get to me via Android. I don't use my account on Youtube. I don't have a Facebook account. I don't use Twitter. I pay for my own email and web services. I tend to have privacy extensions on my browser. I don't use Whatsapp. My life is not at all miserable.
The issue with bots is never a particular bot. GitHub is just trying to avoid a situation where a large percentage of pull requests are coming from bots. This would drive people off of the platform even if every individual bot were reasonable and justified.
This is really interesting. Thank you!

I don't know why you're being downvoted. That seems a reasonable definition of blockchain, in much the same way one could give a reasonable definition of an array as a sequence of items.

The article's premise that 'The term blockchain is misused and frequently misunderstood' (which is true) means 'Blockchain is meaningless' doesn't hold water and this is very typical for a Vox technology article.
