This is absolutely not true. Gas prices have been floating between 1 and 4 gwei for a while now. An erc20 token tx may cost 150k gas so between .00015 and .0006 ETH per tx. So that's $0.09 to $0.37. A simple ETH tx is 25k gas so about a 1/6 of this. You can check ethgasstation.info for the latest standard and "safe low" gas prices.
Haha, well actually we could do that regardless. The purpose of the giveaway is to source more ideas for what people actually want to do with cryptocurrencies, and to make sure our product can serve those use cases.
I wonder what the retention rate would be if one tried to do laundry while reading a traditional book :)
It's not really fair to claim that Lamo was wrong to turn Manning in based on retrospection like this.

It would have been entirely reasonable at the time to assume that some of the 260k+ cables might have endangered US soldiers, allies, and others. The fact that we can't prove it did now does not change the reasonableness of that conclusion nearly a decade ago, and given the stakes at play it seems unfair to vilify someone for doing what he did.
Restrictions on flying for people who 'cause trouble on flights' sounds like something I could support. Especially trouble of the drunken kind.
Let me know when they open source their spyware OS and then we'll talk. Until then you are just continuing to campaign for exploiting educational tools by locking them down so that students can't understand why they are getting forced upgrades, always getting viruses, and having their shopping and browsing information sent to Microsoft Moscow or Mossad.
You are basically saying it's ok to park in bicyclist lanes, for some of us that leads to big problems. I choose bicycle lanes because I need them, me and people with cargo bikes, handicaps, kids or just fear of cars.

I agree we need better planning but we still need more tickets, there have to be some consequences for endangering other people.

Co-founder of cloudron here, happy to answer questions.
The page states "We’ll publicly share our results, and at the end of the process, we’ll decide if it’s something we should pursue and at what exact locations." Are the results of the research available anywhere?
I quite like SMAC, but in many ways it's hard to go back to and I don't think I'd recommend it to a newcomer. Civ provides a certain kind of historical grounding--like I said in another post, Pottery implies Granary, which implies better food storage, which implies growth, in a way that Recycling Tanks don't off-the-bat.

I think I'd probably recommend Civ4 or Civ5 as a starting point. Civ4 is the "old school" style, Civ5 is a very boardgamey experience. Colonization, modulo the historical issues I described in my other post, could be a good fit for the more economically-minded.

Please do not try to rationalize a completely bullshit way of governing by citing there is no better way. It's an insult to the people victimized by this. I am a Chinese expat, and their stupid policy now says I cannot fly in China because I only have a passport and not a National ID.
I agree that sheets is no excel, but it does almost everything I need, and a few things better. A few examples:

- JavaScript as a scripting language. (It's no python but it's nicer than vbscript.)

- Builtin regex functions (regexextract, regexmatch, regexreplace).
We didn't want to write a lot of logic and UI when Airtable was a perfectly good DB/Admin backend. Our goal was rapid response. We built a site off the ground in an hour with useful information and onboarding someone with a tool like Airtable was much easier than custom interface.

We had over 130,000 unique visitors to the site relying on us for up to date accurate information.

Yeah, I'm not sure if I'm going against the grain here, but
I think it's more than reasonable to say, "you really need to spend some time reading through <name of specific piece of documentation>". Even if they don't like it, and even if they end up not liking you, in many cases, that really is the best - and only - advice that will ever help.
I had this problem as well. The same trivial shell scripting problems came up over and over.

My solution was to write a static analysis tool (ShellCheck) that would recognize them automatically and with enough confidence would even auto-answer. It's gotten way more use than I ever expected.

Haven't made much progress on the plaintext question problem though. Some day!
Cyclist here. Where are people supposed to park? Seems pretty obvious to me: legal parking spots.

Having talked to dozens of people parked in the bike lane over the years, it's obvious to me that the vast majority park in the bike lane out of convenience, not necessity. I usually recommend legal spots to park that are nearby, but many drivers are unwilling to walk even an extra 50 feet. People have acted as if my request to park somewhere else was completely unreasonable. (Edited.)

So while sometimes I get this argument, it does not work most of the time. Drivers block the bike lane mostly for convenience, not by necessity.

(My experience comes from living in Austin, Baltimore, and the DC metro area. I suspect NYC is different, but probably not that much different from Baltimore.)
Fucking hell, will you stop linking that 8-year-old article? The only information contained in it is one goat enthusiast no one ever heard of, quoted as saying "yes if we learn of a betrayal against goat enthusiasm we will be upset about it." That proves absolutely nothing. If any brave Afghan national USA collaborator had died as a result, we would have heard about him enough to be sick of it. Unlike, for instance, the thousands of Afghan nationals murdered directly by USA military, whom the war media never mentions.
Cavalierly talking about moving 50,000 people, I expect those people may end up getting the worse end of that deal.
> At some SCCA events you'll see all the legit autocrosses lined up and all the kids with their fast/furious wanna be shit rides around the outside. Once when we were going over the rules, one such car pulled in and the organizer said, "Looks like there's another one for the cardboard wing class." and we all laughed.

That kind of attitude is a big reason why SCCA events don't attract more people. Hey SCCA dude - we all know the E30 you track is legit, but you don't have to be a dick about it to people who have different tastes...

If there's one thing I've learned from travelling the world: There are contract killers and they can be had for very little money. Where I currently live you could get away with murder for 1 to 10k - depending on who you know.

Yes, the creator could go trade them on an exchange if they wanted to. But we don’t help people do an ICO or encourage it. I do think tokens made on Hexel could gain value, but that would come from making them useful, not starting off with a scammy ICO.

According to the article, the actions described seem like discrete and well-defined like giving false information about terrorism, and not paying fines.

In a capitalist society, I wouldn't expect that. What would be the market incentive to migrate? As it stands currently, coastal property is the most valuable. There would need to be a mechanism to drive that migration.

I think you maybe can make that sort of conditional promise sometimes, but in context, that's not the kind of promise described in the article. It's specifically saying, "a promise of breakthrough discoveries" (this is the quote from the article). A scientist can't promise breakthrough discoveries. A lot of discoveries are just, "this thing we thought might happen didn't happen, I guess that's a dead end".
Not following. Paying a dividend and the money is gone versus reinvesting. So the opposite of what you are suggesting so maybe not following?

there's more than the context of merely being an ally, it's being a "close" ally in the region; one with a history of direct and indirect conflict.

nobody knows if saudi was involved, and i'm not saying they definitely were, but it seems rather unlikely that there was no assistance at least with regard to intelligence and other ancillary-ish things.

even so, the notion of "retaliation" in the scope of clandestine conflict and power struggle is very nebulous, as geopolitics has many layers. if nothing else, saudi is almost certainly a much more ideal target of opportunity than the US due to it's being a nearby direct competitor for regional influence. and even if saudi really had zero involvement with stuxnet (seems unlikely to me), they've definitely had allied involvement with other activities that worked against iran or it's interests.
It's certainly government-enabled as others have said. We have this principle of "innocent-until-proven-guilty" (although certainly in the media and in some more practical aspects of our judicial system that seems to get forgotten), but I think we need to consider more this idea of how someone gets innocent again. Do all felonies justify having someone labelled as a felon for life, knowing that it hinders their ability to productively participate in society again? Absolutely not. Especially if we really believe our "correctional" facilities correct people instead of just inflicting suffering, we ought to be trying harder to let go of people's pasts once it's behind him. Would I hire a white-collar criminal to handle sensitive business records? Probably not. But would I hire a guy who beat up an attacker and took it too far to fix my car? No reason no to. Yet we don't have enough nuance in our system to handle stuff like that, and no reason for businesses to do anything but discriminate indiscriminately. If one doesn't hire felons, one doesn't hire felons. And unless you can get things expunged, you're kinda screwed with a sort of life sentence.
The original comparison was between two dangerous activities, not between two dangerous modes of transportation the danger of which might be informatively amortized across the quantity of transportation provided.
I get it; you thought Scheme was Lisp and Lisp was Scheme, and want to prevent others from falling for the same misunderstanding. That's a laudable goal.

Lisp is an old family of languages, though. It's been around a long time, and it's explored a broad range of language ideas and a lot of nooks and crannies. There are a lot of Lisps that are pretty different from each other. There's a pretty good list at Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Lisp-family_programmin...), but it still omits some interesting variants (for example, *Lisp, Kernel, Lispkit Lisp, Connection Machine Lisp, and others). There are greater differences between, for example, Common Lisp and kernel than between Common Lisp and Scheme, but all of them are still recognizably Lisp.

So you're right: you don't want to be fooled into thinking that Scheme is all there is to Lisp. But Common Lisp also isn't all there is to Lisp. Scheme plus Common Lisp plus Clojure isn't all there is to Lisp, either. It's a big space, and there's room for it to grow bigger still without losing its essential Lispiness.

"APL is like a beautiful diamond – flawless, beautifully symmetrical. But you can't add anything to it. If you try to glue on another diamond, you don't get a bigger diamond. Lisp is like a ball of mud. Add more and it's still a ball of mud – it still looks like Lisp."

>from who gets more police attention, arrests, charges, plea deals and how heavy the sentences are

None of this detracts from the fact that these laws are ultimately relatively clear in their restrictions, compared to China's social score.

Theft is theft. Drug possession is drug possession. Had these "unfairly" targeted individuals followed the law, they would not be subject to its penalties.

Sure, I recognize that very few of us are perfectly law abiding citizens. But I have trouble with the notion that heavier police presence, and heavier sentencing for repeat offenders, are somehow unfair phenomena, and these alleged transgressions far too often are lumped together with actual institutional inequity.

In other words, one must not conflate subjectivity in sentencing and policing with some kind of ingrained, institutional caste system, so long as laws are followed as written. If you wish to stay out of the felon caste, do not break obvious laws, like those regarding drug possession. If you do not agree with such laws, work to change them.
Just change the price of electricity or make it tiered. Problem solved. Making a law seems overkill and a bit draconian. What business is it of the government what you do with your computer if you aren't doing anything malicious or immoral? Ensuring a blockchain stays secure and updates faster is a legitimate service.
It kinda sucks that nowadays that would be fixed in the next patch and forgotten about as a minor bug in the games history. There was definitely something more artistic about the old software distribution style. Once your creation was given to the world it was able to take on its own life.
Other way around. Parked cars ("car culture" meaning the expectation that there should be free and easy street parking everywhere) take up space that could be otherwise used by contractor and delivery vehicles.

No one is arguing against contractor and delivery vehicles needing space; car free places such as campus quads or (say) Vernazza, Italy allow "special purpose" vehicles in.
Apparently the parking fines are not high enough.
They are already applying this to foreigners when selecting possible people to track, monitor, or engage.
> It's not just preppers.

Maybe, I mean it's a very cost-effective “i need to eat but not think about it” alternative to something like Soylent (assuming you have the storage space), so there may be a non-prepper market, but...

> Members of the Church of Latter Day Saints (Mormons) are taught to build up reserves of food and other resources.

Pointing to a group for whom being preppers is a religious practice (and maybe even a doctrinal obligation) is not support for the idea that the market for a product isn't just preppers.

Q39 is a nine minute drive from there and it's arguably one of the top three barbecue joints in town at the moment–this is always a hotly contested topic locally, but I'll go to the mattresses for their burnt ends and/or smoked sausage[0]. The toy and miniature museum itself is right next to UMKC campus just south of The Country Club Plaza, making the plaza a ten-minute walk. Jack Stack BBQ is on the Plaza, while not the best in town it is quite good, probably top 10. It's more about the sides than the meat if that's your thing. Their cheesy corn bake and hickory pit beans are to die for. There's also about a fifty other shops, bars, and restaurants on the plaza, too.

There is no cost per month / year for the existing functionality, it’s all free. The cost later on will be for opt-in features.

Right now we have a single token contract that has been audited. We also have a few other smart contracts in the works, to be used with your token.

By private ledger, do you mean private blockchains? I’ve always been less interested in those. Part of the fun in blockchains is the public nature of them, and how they enable transparency and interaction between everyone. To me, private blockchains seem like they should just be databases in most cases. But I’m not an expert in that area by any means.
Well, on the flip side - I've had similar experiences to cosban's, and it usually goes like this: I'm neck-deep in a complicated scenario, and I'm stuck and can't figure out what to do next. I can ask for help, but it will take pages of explanation just to describe how I got where I am. Recognizing that everybody's (myself included) attention span only goes so far, I try to describe just the problem I've run into in as few words as possible without going through the whole epic story. Then somebody comes along and says "what you're doing doesn't make any sense, you shouldn't be doing that"...
"not paying fines" is about as open and fluid as it gets.
That's actually a really good point... it also goes on and shows how viscerally those cities are connected in terms of trade, movement of troops, and thus warfare/conquest.

Thank goodness for Civilization on SNES, too. ;)
I've been a part of a few of those critical mass protests, at first glance it appears like a good thing to participate in - increasing awareness of cycling as an option to people that might not be familiar with it.

But the combative mindset that seems to be a core part of the tradition only seemed to polarize people and actually put us further back from our (supposed) goal of increasing accessible cycling infrastructure. At the last one I was almost embarrassed to be there. And some people do legitimately need to get somewhere on time, to take liberties with that is unnecessarily off-putting.

I now think it's much more about feeling like you're part of an in-group, a persecuted and rebellious one at that. I'm now much more a fan of the (boring?) folks calmly working for greater cycling access, and having much more success at it.

Instead, they force you to use their browser. It's not terribly different.
All of the examples you gave don’t need a decentralised cryptocurrency and I reckon could be done more easily with a regular database.

Unless you can give a reason why those examples require decentralisation then, as much as I respect your attempt at finding an actual use for decentralised Merkel trees, I ultimately think it’s doomed to failure.
It’s worth noting that they’ve sold these kits for at least ten-ish years. I remember seeing them on the website and thinking how cool it was that you could buy a year of food as a unit.
We are still in an ice age and we just happen to live in an interglacial period. The Earth has the large polar continent, and multiple other continents arranged such that they greatly impede the free flow of water currents around the globe that are necessary for mass glaciation. In these conditions, glaciation can easily lead to a positive feedback loop and once that gets going the effect is rapid (think order months to years, not decades).
In this situation, it is not OPs job to satisfy the mayor. It is this mayor's job to be a representative of the people so IMO the Mayor should have been able to handle hostility and criticism.

The mayors opportunity to partially ignore concerns shows their incompetence towards the issue.

http://jass.neuro.wisc.edu/2013/01/Group%203.Udomon.Final%20... - "An analysis of the test scores also indicates that visual stimulation is more effective than
audio stimuli at achieving higher memory retention and recall (with a p-value < .05). "

http://www.youngscientist.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/... - "From
the results, it was concluded that visual information is recalled the most effectively,
followed by audio/visual and then audio information."

From my understanding, listening and reading activate the brain in different ways. Listening also takes a higher effort to turn information into memory. It seems that if you're practiced at information processing through listening (e.g. you've listened to a lot of audiobooks or are a practiced storyteller) then there's less of a difference.

Part of me thinks that reading leads to better comprehension and information recall because it's very easy to re-read a sentence versus rewinding audio. Anecdotally, I know I've been in a scenario where I was reading the end of a paragraph and realized I had stopped paying attention and was quickly able to go back and re-read it.
