If your site ever gains traction then would quickly become rife with stolen credit card details as the amount is small enough that most banks wouldn't question it (at first at least - but it's small amounts like these that attackers use to verify the card details are still valid) and those attackers would get the added bonus of growing their database of fake user accounts, thus rendering the point behind your site irrelevant.

Worse still, you'd then need to find some way to differentiate between stolen details and legitimate accounts (you will legally need to do this otherwise you'd quickly get shut down) - which means you're back into the arms race against the bad actors. This is going to cost you money (hopefully not more than you're making but that really depends on how heavily you get targeted) and will mean you'll likely end up adding counter measures that add further hurdles for legitimate customers.

And thus we're all back to square one.

I do wish you luck with your endeavor; but I don't agree with you that this solves any of the problems you're hoping to address (or at least described in this thread - if your problem was merely to earn some extra cash on the side then this might work beautifully for you).

> Campaign donations are the only logical explanation for a government employee, of all people, giving such a retarded statement.

Perhaps the only logical one that fits your worldview. There are many people here who believe that statement, and it is not preposterous that such people would elect someone who agrees with them.

> Why would it be better for citizens to not know their taxes, while the government clearly does know (or else how could they verify), and then have the citizen go through a confusing-as-fuck, detailed process before finally coming back to the government with their best guess in amount due?

The government does not know, or have the ability to easily verify, this information. Why do you think it "clearly" does? The IRS only audits a small fraction of returns, gives itself several years to do so, and invests significant manual labor in each.

I can see where cases like business expenses may still have to be itemized by the citizen, but for someone with just a W2 (and maybe an IRA) getting an itemized bill from the government would be so much more convenient (as some countries in Europe do) rather than going through all the paperwork associated with taxes.

The majority of Americans need to file two returns every year. A significant minority, like me, need to file three. These separate tax authorities do not communicate very well with each other and have different taxation rules. Ly understanding of most, if not all, European systems is that there is a single, central taxation authority. I don't see how you make this pre-filled form work otherwise.

Also worth noting that, for an American "with just a W2 (and maybe an IRA)" the form is short and takes, at most, 20 minutes to complete. In fact, my taxes aren't even complicated enough to warrant tax software. I only buy it because it lets me file my federal and NY returns electronically for free and I find paying $35 worth it to avoid the hassle of certified mail and manually writing everything out.

> The level of understanding required to correctly file taxes is also a huge burden on all the people who are young, poor, uneducated, or immigrants (which is why even online filing with TurboTax is still not easy).

I find the instructions to me more complicated than they need to be. That said, the understanding required to complete forms 1040EZ and 1040A (which is what almost everyone in those groups should be using) is not nearly as great as only believed.

I've always felt that we need some kind of ubiquitous and low friction micro transactions for small time websites to succeed and to move away from the ad driven model. A niche blog could be successful with a small audience if each of them donates a penny or two to read new stories. That way people are directly supporting content that they find useful, rather than having to create controversy to drive ads and clicks.
Yes, understood, but it seemed to me like an irrelevant and misleading detail, as if he accidentally revealed his passwords or some other security detail on camera.
I found it interesting to just glance at the code, having never touched Go (but familiar with SDL). Some day I will find the time hack around in one of these new languages, whether it be Go or Rust or Red or Perl6 .. :)

I have some trouble understanding the rationale for using SDL_ttf in an editor implementation, though. Did you just cut shaping, bidirectional text and font fallback as acceptable losses, or is it on the roadmap? If so, what is your strategy?

I like it. It's not clear to me though from skimming over the sites, whether beaker and dat are standards or pure tools. If they are standards and therefore people are able to do their own implementation, I believe it can be successful. However if it's just a tool without standardization efforts behind it, then it's still a centralized system.

I am mildly surprised that Blackfin support has been dropped. A few years ago, many digital cameras had a Blackfin for both GUI and DSP. I remember working with SHARC (harvard-architecture CPU from Analog Devices) and seeing the main advantage of Blackfin being that it could run Linux and, supposedly, being better equipped to run a complete GUI with several applications. I expected AD to take advantage of this and support Linux for some time, but instead, it rotted. Good thing I did not went through this route.

Also, I guess the architectures pruning was one reason he decided not to go with the 5.0 version. It would give even more meaning to the version number.
The thing is, that kind of talk and behavior should result in immediate firing and replacement. These people are employees of the government that is paid for by the people, and they are supposed to be servants of the public (interest). By openly stating that they will not do their job, they are admitting that they are unfit for the position.

Can any employee of a company imagine the outcome if they told their boss, "No, I'm not doing any work that involves my colleague Bob (that I hate)."
> There is one difference. Practice won’t let you forget anything or leave anything out. In theory, problems are easily solved because you can leave something out.

It can also work the other way! Solving an NP-hard problem for the theory means solving it for every case. Solving it for practice means solving it for the cases you'll encounter - which may let you leave some bits out.

I support this - it's money that's not going to the military. Every government contract signed, every middle manager given a raise, signifies, in a final sense, a theft from those who would bomb and are not armed, those who would kill and have no weapons.
You can use a GUI for the following:

1. Making a video game of a particular type (racing game, shoot em up, 3D shooter etc)

2. Do an analysis of a particular type (regression, ARMA analysis)

3. Make a web page of a particular type (landing page, agency page, personal blog)

What you cannot do is use a GUI to do a new kind of thing that the maker of the GUI had not considered.

And that is why you can't use it to do any kind of "science" which involves experimenting to see if this new technique will work.

> Note: I make most of my content on SC downloadable anyway because I don't make money from my music, but the principle is still the same - I want the right to control whether my creative output can or cannot be downloaded.

So you want X and !X at the same time, enforced by the client?

First rule: don't trust the client.

Second rule: if you release something online, you lose control of it.

As a corollary of rule 2: accept that scarcity doesn't apply online with regards to digitized content.

Third rule: DRM doesn't work. Giving encrypted files along with the key to decrypt is pointless.

Fourth rule: Obfuscation only buys you time. It buys you even less time against a dedicated attacker.

But, it does take time to understand and wrap your head around these rules. And I know not everyone accepts them up front. Many try to think of ways around these things, using 'creative' ways (aka: logical fallacies).
I'm not condoning willfully damaging something, I would never do that, however I am amused that the original poster just wanted to live the rentier dream of delegating and watching the dollars flow in. No risk (wrong). No work (wrong).

As for "collecting the rent" for the most part this is checking if it appears in a bank account. If you are exploiting someone who has finance issues then sometimes you have to threaten them if they don't pay.

They should just work on creating wealth instead of trying to exploit a need for housing for their own gain. The negative equity they found themselves in is part of the same cycle of greed.

As a another poster noted, it's a zero sum game and for there to be successful parasites others have to lose.

Esketamine is the patentable isomer they're trying to use to enable this process of patenting + FDA so the drug companies can make a return. So the end result is a very expensive drug that insurance would pay for vs a cheap drug with 90% of the benefits that insurance won't pay for.
I don’t know anything about this editor other than what’s in the readme, but I can make an educated guess.

It can be a minimal and fast editor in terms of text operations.

It can be a heavy and slow editor in terms of screen rendering.

There is no inherent reason why, as it matures, it couldn’t become lighter and faster overall compared to other editors, since it actually uses available modern hardware.

It's brilliant, most people probably won't care about the extra workload as long as it doesn't make their computer "slow down" or get too noisy and it realigns the content providers incentives from "collect more/better data and pack in as many ads as possible" to just "keep people on the site as long as possible".
The cost is also just the price of electricity which, while not totally trivial, is cheap enough for this to work and something people are already paying for.

I found it intriguing enough that I actually let them have a go at it rather than disabling Javascript (my usual response to ad-blocker-blockers). So far it works "as advertised", the only way I notice is through the system monitoring I have on my desktop.

Lung Cancer Patients Live Longer with Immune Therapy
I have used Knime for a few months, enough to get comfortable with it, and while some of what you say is true I have to disagree about it standing up to command line tools. Especially after having tried to go through some code written by others in it.

The main problem I have with it is in many cases the upstream data has to be available to a node in order to be allowed to open the node up and see the configuration. This has resulted in my spending a day or two updating and tweaking database queries on an old connection and fixing the resulting configuration errors just to get to one node and read the configuration. In this case I didn't care about the data itself, I just needed the config of that one node.

This would not have been necessary with a text-based tool, where I could just scroll down and read. Knime can be a powerful tool but for sharing work I think it's unnecessarily painful.
Seems like so. From Phoronix: "I began the weekend work with trying out a Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon with an Intel Core i7 5600U processor... It's a mature Broadwell platform that has been working well under Linux for years. But not exactly a system I would expect years later to have a significant power boost from."

We as a society actually have the means to provide that, strictly speaking. It is, in the end, the original aspiration of the internet to provide these things in the name of bettering humanity. The problem is that having the tech doesn’t change the antequated and oppresive socio-political and economic system in which we currently bathe. Without a more forceful revolution—of whatever type—the promise of the internet revolution will be perpetually subsumed by the underlying impossibility of the systems it requires to flourish. Go figure, free flow of information requires all sorts of other human freedoms.

That is nice and all. But as you can see, the majority of BBSs are Synchronet, that is not a bad thing but it has a limited support for old DOOR systems. So while it keep the BBS scene alive in someway, it kills a bit of history with other systems.

I love Sync client, it is amazing! But it is sad that old systems are slowly disappearing. A few years back I was able to find telnet BBS on some old system with very specific games. Last year I've tried to get back and all were dead. I simply cannot find it anymore.

At least I have all the software locally but it keeps harder and harder to get it running due to compatibility stuff and I don't have enough time to setup it correctly in a kind of vm.

It's depressing that this is such a common argument against moving away from the ASCII character set. We all use operating systems that allow us to define key sequences for these characters. And it's really easy to remember them after a week or so, I mean, how often do you actually look at the letters on your keyboard anyways?

The main issue is that computers don't come with a standard default layer for math and APL characters anymore so it's a huge leap of faith for someone to start to use these characters.

What I don’t see anybody talking about what’s going on with car loans. The next time we have a recession it’s going to be a lot worse as people will lose both their houses and their cars.

Well, I propose it because 1) HTTPS is a tiny aspect of what makes one secure on the web, 2) I just want to talk to my loved ones on the web, 3) I don't care what China does with my data, 4) "lingering ramifications" of this are very manageable.

Maybe I have a skewed point of view, but after being involved in computer security for 15 years, I literally have two cases at all where I care about the data I'm sending over the internet: logging into my bank, and making a purchase with a credit card. Virtually everything else, I don't care about.

One thing to keep in mind, with something like this, employees' stock is almost certainly worth $0. There will likely be some sort of retention plan for some set of employees, but their stock in GA probably won't be worth anything. The founders will likely have some sort of bonus, and the investors will make some money (not home-run money, but money). I guess they deserve a congrats, but to me it's worth remembering that most likely employees, who viewed their stock options as a part of their compensation, will be left with nothing but a thank you.

The ongoing success of Netflix proves not everybody is a freeloader, and a report from Spotify made the news for their estimate that 2 million people are using ad-block software to get premium without paying for it - the bigger news should really be that they have 150-some million users that aren't cheating the system, and that 70 million people pay money to Spotify.

Everybody wants something for free, but there are some people that recognize things are worth paying for.

“Any city gets what it admires, will pay for, and, ultimately, deserves,” the New York Times editorialized in October 1963, as demolition of the old Penn Station began.

Practically speaking, this is true. Graphical environments typically snap together predefined (or at least minimally configurable) modules of code, Lego-style.

Theoretically speaking, of course, all Turing-complete languages are equivalent. You merely need a graphical environment that is expressive enough, i.e. one that can do conditional branching and store items in memory.
