I introduced my girlfriend to Civ 6 after seeing her play a bunch of similarly-veined strategy games on her phone. She was hooked within days so we started a 'hot-seat' campaign via Steamcast and passed the controller back and forth for hours on the couch.

At some point it became clear that my path to victory was an all out religious assault, and effectively all I was doing was micromanaging my missionaries and apostles.

This got old extremely quickly in the hot seat format. I'd kill for an engaging 2 player couch-coop gameplay mode in here that didn't make us hate each other.
What's incorrect? Having knowledge of an actual crime can make you an accomplice.

I said generally. You said generally. I made edits before you quoted that to clarify that knowledge alone isn't likely going to make you a target of prosecution in the majority of cases. Maybe not even in 1 in a million cases.

I've had clients be targeted for prosecution on weak facts plenty of times.

If I were a lawyer for the ex-con, and he came to ask me whether to contact the FBI given the facts that seem to be stipulated, I certainly would not recommend not contacting the FBI.

Who does and does not have a duty to report is not really relevant in a whole lot of real world cases, unless you think that no ex-con has ever been railroaded on flimsy or fabricated charges.

I've had clients plead guilty when they probably could have fought it just because they can't risk doing long-term jail time, and I'm not even a dedicated criminal defense lawyer.

I've heard about, and read about, much worse. Surely, you have as well.

Edit: Just for example, say Lamo doesn't contact the FBI, and after Manning is prosecuted, they come after Lamo claiming that he advised Manning on how not to get caught, given Lamo's previous experience. Does Lamo beat the charges or go to prison? The system is not rigged in favor of ex-cons. Given the risk, I'd contact the FBI, too.
Absolutely. Many years ago, a family friend hosted a blog on his home server that had an anti-CPC article. A few weeks after the publication of that article, he found his router flashed and the blog content defaced.

I'm a normal person with a normal life, hence the throwaway to reduce even the small chance of getting hit back, something that China seems to like to do (not coincidentally the exact topic of the original link).

I'm not into conspiracy theories, but we know what Russia has likely already done on social media. China is just as clever and resourceful, if not more, and they want to save face. This makes indirect social media influence a temptation that is difficult for the CPC to resist at best.
It doesn't seem to be very close to scheme. It's statically typed, AOT compiled, not garbage collected, and has C-ish semantics.
Banks are factories for money not warehouses.

Reserves are not even required for banks to function.

A loan creates a deposit and that deposit then moves between people as they pay each other.

Banks can do that until they run out of creditworthy borrowers.

All so callled constraints on banks do nothing other than try to increase the price of lending so there are fewer creditworthy borrowers.

There is no quantity restriction that binds. The payment system would collapse if you tried.
I can now easily squat for extended periods, but couldn't before. This changed after I started to do weightlifting and associated required stretching.
Most Chinese abroad (that I meet, might be biased of course) seem to be students on a sort of foreign scholarship from the Chinese state. And they are terrified of the consequences of discussing this. Probably for exactly that reason.

I was surprised by how much war footage and gut-wrenching videos I could find online. More people should be exposed to those documents as a form of shock therapy. It gives weight and meaning to words so effortlessly spoken by our leaders. It might also help young people have a little more empathy for actual individuals, as opposed to abstract demographics.

The article reminds me of War against War!. It's a 1924 anti-war photobook (180 images) designed by German pacifist Ernst Friedrich. It's a sobering read. http://craigritchie.co.uk/archives/2581 [WARNING: 18+ NSFL]

EDIT: I added a few quotes describing the War against War! photobook.

> Outraged by the unprecedented barbarism and massive destruction of the First World War, Ernst Friedrich complied and published a collection of pictures and other visual material which attempted to illustrate not only the tragic human consequences of war, but also the lies and hypocrisy of the social, political, and economic forces that produced and promoted it. Aimed at an international audience with multi-lingual supporting text and captions, it was one of the first concerted photographic expressions of protest against the barbarism of modern warfare in all its tragic folly.

> Friedrich’s strategy was to present shocking images of the atrocities of war and then juxtapose the official German patriotic and military propaganda and rhetoric of the time with graphic illustrations of what this discourse actually produced.

> The horrific imagery builds gradually, commencing with illustrations of children’s toys and propaganda posters, followed by photographs of the soldier’s march to war, the privilege of the elites orchestrating the violence, the devastated and then forgotten battlefields [...] and the graveyards of the dead.

> The most unbearable pages are in a section called ‘The Face of War’, twenty-four close-ups of military and non-military survivors with huge facial wounds.

> Never before had the people there been subjected to such horrendous images of the savagery and the senseless destruction of the First World War. During WW1, most European governments forbade the publication of war photographs and few images of the war had appeared before the publication of Friedrich’s book.
Sorry, I wasn't clear; I was asking what the basis was for the assumption both you and your parent comment were making here:

>I don't think [Trump] ever thought he would win [the 2016 US Presidential election].

>That's almost certainly true,

Things like this get tossed around a lot, presumptions about the thought processes of others, specifically public figures. The parent comment to yours at least couched the assertion in an "I think," but you went on to reply, "That's almost certainly true," as though you have some sort of intimate understanding of the President's thought process that the rest of us aren't privy to. I feel that these sort of careless assertions bring down the quality of discourse in general, but here on HN specifically.
The argument is also that the universe itself would not exist if certain things did not happen in a very specific way
Wow, the cross-fades really sell it. I never even tried to do anything like that; my genetic programs were for a kind-of-weird stack machine as the easiest thing to do. https://github.com/darius/tusdl/blob/master/evo.c

Slightly related to the starting topic of learned exploits: op_hwb_color() producing most of the colors seems to have suffered from some undefined or implementation-defined behavior -- I couldn't reproduce old pictures when I came back to this many years later. Yet that one misbehavior deserves a lot of the credit for whatever aesthetic value turned up. C'est encore la vie.
Agreed with the rest of the commenters.

This article starts with a kernel of truth and blows it out of proportion for some weird current-day political agenda that I almost couldn't be bothered to look up.

Surprise, surprise: Russia Beyond is owned by the parent organization of RT.
I have a friend who was an armored truck driver. When they build a lightrail/trolley in my city, they put the track on the road near the only "secure" route out of a mall within the city. Technically, they are parking illegally, but the police look the other way and there doesn't seem to be a political or engineering solution. Now, the trolley waits behind the armored trucks twice a day.
"How to squat" minute three: As you exhale, you squat straight down with perfect form. Done.
Time delays only provide a false sense of security. In theory I could always cut open the casing and just plug wires straight into the EMMC or whatever you have in there. Your time delay UI is useless if I just bypass your UI and wire straight into the hardware.

Of course that's non-trivial EE work, but the point is it's possible, for someone with enough money and the right equipment. What would make it intractable is to ditch the idea that a 4 digit pin is protecting you from anything. There's simply not enough entropy in that.

Time delays are useful protection when over a network. But not when the attacker has physical console access, e.g. to a phone. At that point proper cryptography and mathematics is the only good protection.
It's surprisingly practical to view a lot of data mangling tasks through one's compiler glasses.

Commercial Accelerators and the Defense Department
Apparently my answer is worse than the guy who thinks "The fed is literally giving asset holders free money" and the guy who makes a pitch for Bitcoin. Whatever. Utilize your downvote cartel however you see fit I guess.

Regardless of whether the loans are linked to individual deposits or borrowed from other banks, I was just trying to communicate how commercial banks could increase the money supply without input from the central bank. Nowhere did I claim the reserve requirement and monetary base were the limiting factor of the money supply (in fact the last sentence says supply of loans is influenced by interest rates). This is just what figure 1 depicts in the paper. The direct quote from the conclusion of the paper is "Most of the money in circulation is created, not by the printing presses of the Bank of England, but by the commercial banks themselves."

Furthermore I claimed that central banks affect the money supply via rates, which is supported via the conclusion as well: "The Bank of England is nevertheless still able to influence the amount of money in the economy. It does so in normal times by setting monetary policy — through the interest rate that it pays on reserves held by commercial banks with the Bank of England. "

Most of these (e.g. rewards, distributing to locals/employees, sell to raise funds, etc.) rest on the idea that the token has value, which begs the question.

Many also have existing solutions that are well-understood (e.g. loyalty programs tied to phone numbers).

And, what happens when every business has its own tokens? Who wants to track/manage all of that? Seems like a recipe for token fatigue.

>Look for ways to align business interests and customer interests.

In general, seems like token advocates look for ways to wedge a token into an interaction. Not saying there are no use cases, but there's a lot of "solution looking for a problem" happening.
It's not really a controversial idea that no one thought Trump was going to win, including himself. Look at the state of his campaign, he didn't even have a cabinet worked out or any kind of transition plan. The first 100 days were a complete mess with people cobbled together from random areas of his life. The Michael Wolff book lays it out pretty clearly about what the thought process was at the time. If you look at the situation, they were not expecting a win at all.

Not really sure what you're looking for, this is politics not computer science. You'll never get a sigma six answer for any of this. That's about as close as you're going to get in politics for any "fact".
It's probably time we started describing these types of situations Brookerian rather than Orwellian.
In decent mid-large cities, there's no need to own a car. You can often walk, much of the time. For travel, you rent a car if necessary.
Keep in mind that inflation is not just a form of taxation. It is also a form of debt forgiveness.

It sucks if you have liquid cash, and you are facing inflation. It's great if you are in debt.

Many Americans have a lot more debt then cash.

Yes in that it has no consideration on when the data was captured or acquired. And there is a trickle down to anyone you have or passed the data onto.
That's genius. I feel like I've missed crucial Civ time now!
> They're all out to make a buck with it!

It's not even that though. If someone is reselling your companies data to a third party without authorization, you put both the company and it's key people on the persona non grata list. Large well run corporations and a lot of smaller companies have black lists like that and they use them.
> These still allow you to mismanage resources.

True, I didn't say the solution was perfect, but it is good enough for most devs.

> You raise the craftsman to the level the craft requires, not lower the craft to the level of an apprentice.

Nice goal, but I doubt you would manage to achieve that to anyone doing enterprise CRUD apps, mobile apps, games, ... to bother one second to learn TLA+, Idris, Coq or similar, unless their jobs depend on it.
That’s the point. People in cars have to be able to avoid objects in front of them (whether that’s drivers suddenly stopping or other obstructions) and so do bicyclists.
I'm 30, relatively tall Californian male. I've done the Asian squat ever since I read about this distinction 10 years ago. Before that I always squatted the Western way even though i had good flexibility from sports & martial arts
Yep, that was it. Thanks for the example.
Yeah, it's easy enough to spin up a DB on RDS, but using the blockchain does offload the need to secure the database (and securing infrastructure in general, at least where managing the token is concerned).

There's also no dependency or trust on hexel per se once the coin is created. They can disappear, but the contract/token lives on.

Definitely upside for using Ether, but comes at a price in transaction time and money.
It's there. E.g. ANSI Lisp has the concept of a token. Reading multiple objects until a closing ) via read-delimited-list is like parsing. The actions which accumulate token constituent characters into a token and produce some object from it, like a number or symbol, are like lexing.

Or something that depends on the bug.

I bet there is lawsuit in works by Apple et al!

I mean if they truly broke and iPhone lock, then it means they had to be tampering with a true Apple device (not a dummy) in order to make their device work. Therefore, they violate Apple TOS that I am sure forbids any sort of backdooring. I doubt they will go after a rouge chinese jailbreaker sitting in moms basement and trying to make a name for him/herself, but here we have example of a for-profit incorporated business that makes 100% of their money by breaking Apple's devices.

On the other hand, if this is all just some sort of marketing gimmick, or that device never been truly tested on iPhone, then I am sure they can go after them for attempting to shame iOS/iPhone for users to think their devices are less secure than they actually are, which could hit their bottom line.

This reminds me of Will Wright's answer to the typical deep questions he's frequently asked about the design of SimCity:

>Designing User Interfaces to Simulation Games.

>Some muckety-muck architecture magazine was interviewing Will Wright about SimCity, and they asked him a question something like "which ontological urban paridigm most influenced your design of the simulator, the Exo-Hamiltonian Pattern Language Movement, or the Intra-Urban Deconstructionist Sub-Culture Hypothesis?" He replied, "I just kind of optimized for game play."

True. If Apple or a security firm get a hold of one of these devices, surely they'd be able to reverse engineer it and patch the vulnerabilities.
My opinion has changed after you've marginalized a tragedy and treated it like an either or event in history. Thank you for showing that neither is important by what about ing.
Regardless of the numbers, the other posters on this subthread are making an important point: too much wealth concentration deters new adopters.

Think of it in terms of the Ultimatum Game [1]: when faced with a new system of wealth distribution, potential new participants not currently within the system have two choices. They can choose to trade something they possess that would be of value to the existing participants (labor, wampum, or $USD, for example) for the new currency. Or they can say "Fuck you, I'm not playing in your sandbox."

The challenge for Bitcoin is that only ~0.3% of the population is involved in it, but the amount of money you have to spend to get a tiny fraction of the wealth that early adopters got just for showing up early is ridiculous. Under those conditions, the incentives for the remaining 99.7% is to say "Fuck you, I'll stick with my dollars". Or, alternatively, to create new currencies with their own pyramid schemes in the hopes of replicating Bitcoin's success.

Too little reward for early adopters and the new currency never gets adoption. Too much, and its adoption stalls out before it reaches a critical mass of the population. Ramp up the inflation rate later, and you can get continued growth after adoption, but at the expense of overall trust in the currency. It seems like you need a steady stream of broken promises, buried history, and disaffected outsiders to both gain adoption of a new currency and continue its growth.

(Interestingly, fiat has the same problem now: a significant number of people believe their chance of amassing significant wealth is near-zero within the current system, which is one of the major factors driving adoption of Bitcoin. They're effectively saying "Fuck you, I'm not playing in your sandbox" to the financial system of the developed world. But the other posters in this thread are pointing out that this problem is not unique to fiat, and that Bitcoin itself has this problem too, as does every other attempt to coordinate a new store of value.)

“Bitcoin / blockchain is still young”. No it isn’t it is more than 10 years old. An eternity in the tech world.

“Let me compare bitcoin / blockchain doubters to all doubters of some successful technology“. The fact that there were naysayers for some successful tech does not prove that there being naysayers for bitcoin/blockchain means that it will be a success.

Your reply is identical to every scammer and crooked shyster in the crypto space. YCombinator is damaging it’s brand associating with scams.

Further, anyone can fork a coin at any time; there could be dozens a year. Am I supposed to keep track of every single fork of every coin I hold?

Also what if I haven't imported my private key into the forked coin's wallet? Do I have to report the income right away or only until after I've gained control of the coins?
> Duc was eight years old in March 1968, and as Haeberle spoke with him, through an interpreter, he realized with a jolt that the woman he had photographed dead behind a rock 43 years earlier was Duc’s mother, Nguyen Thi Tau.

It is terrifying to think about all the other massacres where a photographer wasn't there to document it or someone like the helicopter pilot Hugh Thompson to intervene.
