What exactly was stolen here? This isn't legally recognized money. And the spend was of the attacker's own coins. The exchange into another cryptocurrency or fiat currency is fraudulent I suppose, but isn't that on the transacting exchange?
Your sources are complete nonsense. The first study you linked actually concludes

> There seem to be no negative associations between bed-sharing in toddlerhood and children's behavior and cognition at age 5 years.

And also only samples low-income families, which already show negative behavioral trends from the more difficult living.

And the second source only vaguely concludes that co-sleeping can
> negatively affect a mother's mental health and cause her to get less sleep.

Finally, none of these studies focus on the long term effects, which the OP is talking about.
Hi, and thank you for the great feedback!

We will certainly consider those points, and try to make things both more clear from a communication perspective and also consider adding some demo account (great idea!).

To answer the question about the job description, you're right that most customers so far have a post on a jobs board which they use to get traffic over to their ApplyByAPI posting. Once the candidate is there, they get a page with the job description and some API information they can use to generate their application.

We'll work on improving the language and information presentation to potential customers, and thank you again for taking the time to give your perspective!
If you truly believe having to log out to read a tweet is akin to giving up your passport, you are insane.
China already does that. Twitter and Facebook regularly suspend dissidents' accounts when China asks them to do so. See [1] about Chinese billionaire who lives in the US and the ordeal he was put through.

There's also a case of a Marriott Hotels employee who "liked a tweet" about Tibet and got fired for it after pressure from China [2].

I'm pretty sure he did.

It's not like we don't have dollars and euros and so on, and silver and gold in the past.

98% of trading in euros and dollars is pure speculation.
Some of those things might be true. But you won't have your life ruined from saying bad things about the president or government.

So I'd say the West in general are in an objectively better position in that regard.

Surprisingly, I actually enjoyed reading this.
I wouldn't count on it. Google doesn't seem particularly interested in the desktop at all. And if they were, then my worry is that it'll be seen like Windows 10 is now seen by Microsoft: as an "experience" (aka advertising platform), not a tool people use to get things done that should spend most of its time staying the hell out of the way.
Sure, but what should I do about it?

Oh man I can sympathize with this one. I do the exact same thing -- pull up reddit or HN to bide the time while she contemplates the meaning of life on the can.
There's almost certainly going to be more widespread news coverage of one large batch arrest.

Research shows the perception of getting caught influences decisions to commit crimes much more than the penalties. Potential criminals don't tend to maximize the ratio of expected reward to expected penalty.

I think the best strategy would probably be to keep the network of informants intact and look at the social graph. Once they find a minor dealer within N (probably 2) degrees of separation of M people who weren't previously within N degrees of separation of an arrestee, nab them. Intentionally spreading arrests across the social graph would probably also help reduce the disproportionate cost borne by poor and minority communities.

I'd be willing to bet that hearing from a friend about their friend's arrest has a higher psychological impact than hearing about 50 random strangers on the news.

On the other hand, it seems law enforcement is more incentivized to grab headlines and maximize published arrest counts rather than actually maximize psychological deterrence. There are certainly plenty of idealists who would maximize deterrence anyway, but I fear they would be unlikely to be promoted as rapidly as those playing the system.

The real question is how to properly incentivize law enforcement so even the cynics are targeting the best outcomes for society rather than the biggest media impact. Unfortunately, humans are just generally bad at optimizing over the decades-long horizons involved in incentivizing the maximization of society's long-term best interest. Making an exotic 30-year crime rate derivative (even if we found non-gamable metrics) part of the police pension plan doesn't seem like the right sort of solution. The impact decades out isn't likely to have much effect on day-to-day decision making, and even if it did, it exposes the officers to a lot of extra variability beyond their control. On the other hand, immediately incentivizing the implementation of good-looking ideas before there's time to accurately measure their impact opens one up to Enron-like gaming. So, it looks very difficult to properly incentivize long-term law enforcement goals via either long-term incentives or near-term incentives.
You are misunderstanding what crypto(graphy) is if you think it's used by a niche community. There is a long history of cryptography and it's far from a niche.

Yes, marketing has done a good job marketing to the masses. Unbeknownst to them though, their lives depend on crypto - and not the ones they're all too familiar with these days. Phones, Wifi, online Banking, even logging into the trade their coins using various online services, all depend on decades of cryptographic advances.
Most of us in Europe don't find it especially vague, poorly written or overly broad.

Yes, you all keep saying that, often while tripping over each other with contradictory explanations of when it applies and how to interpret it. Yes, truly well-written and not vague at all.
What kind of incentive does the attacker have to just harm a community of a distributed system?
Correct me if I’m wrong, but MQTT is just a network protocol, it doesn’t solve storage, retries, failure resilience, etc... it’s well suited for pub/sub operations over TCP, not so much for ensuring “exactly once” delivery of messages.
SEC can "fix" HFT instantly by allowing more decimals. There's no good reason to only have 0.01/0.001 increments. Making it so granular forces speed over accurate pricing. Make it 8 decimals and the speed advantage goes away.

I love playing these kind of "strategy" games (Civ, Total War, to a lesser extent DotA 2, etc). I don't have time anymore, as I am a startup founder, and I simply can't play these for just 1-2 hours a week. I'll play again in a few years :)

What typically annoys me is the AI in these games: never challenging enough, or challenging in the right way. Years and years, and the only hope is that the AI team at Google will figure out a way to apply their ML/DL AI to many games at once. (they did it for DotA 2, with remarkable results).
The risk of failure is reduced when you near completion.
I think this gets overlooked a lot. "Why don't you move?" "Uh, because I live here."
Really good article - didn't come across as preachy and condescending as a lot of "big media organisation interviews poor white people" stories tend to go.

I myself would love to buy a house in a small town. It's a much more realistic option for me than buying in a city. And I'm sure as a programmer I could find a job. But then what happens when - or if - that employer shuts up shop? It's a massive risk.
It's not different for CS grads today. Half of my class was playing Quake 3 during classes :/.

But one thing my school did perfectly, is force 3 months of internships per year, and leave at least 1 day per week without classes (and 2 days for the last 2 years).
There is nothing better for learning than experience. The first 2 years I did unpaid internships, by my third year I knew enough to get paid 20$ / hour working part time. By my last year of school I was making 35$ / hour 2 days per week without even having a degree, that's over 2400$ while I was still studying 3 days a week. And not only money, I got a lot of hands-on experience.
Except you profit from mined blocks. In theory you should be able do do a 51% attack for a profit even without double spending as you capture high value transactions over a longer timespan than normal. Aka in 10 ten blocks you get the same number of high value transactions as would normally occur over 20 blocks. Where you would end up with the same 10 blocks without a 51% attack but someone else would also mine 10 blocks and capture some of those high value transaction fees.

Agreed, I think the population sample is biased- inmigrants are by definition people who got and and left a place in an attempt to find a better one, and most current USA ancestors were immigrants.

> Before smartphones usually, you'd make up conversation, smalltalk, even if you didn't want to talk or had anything interesting to say.

No you didn't. You read a newspaper or magazine. Even growing up in the 80s I remember sitting around the table, each of us reading a different section of the LA times, and then swapping 1/2 way through the meal.
What do you mean, “underbidding”, e.g. “underbidding attack”? I don’t understand this term in the context of your hypotheses which assumes a perfectly efficient market for hashpower
If you wanted you could "reclaim" coins which didn't move in 10 years let's say. Or you could just issue new coins. There is no need to go to such convoluted lengths.
How is logging out of Twitter a workaround? The blocking doesn't prevent anyone from reading the communications anymore than not being allowed into the Brady Room prevents anyone from seeing White House press conferences.
> Conservation laws themselves have an underlying principle:

I've always thought Noether's formulation and the conservation laws are more like equivalent shapes of the same features of reality.
I'm really trying hard to get inside your head! There is definitely an "Americanism" here somewhere, which you take for granted but I have to tease out. I will probably get it all a bit wrong (despite having a fair few US relos) but I will do my best.
Way to get motivated again:

I get asked a lot why I left architecture and tech to be in product, and now, bootstrapping a relatively non-technical collaboration platform. My answer is that it's solving similar problems just at a higher level of abstraction. It's moving from a perfect information game of development to an imperfect information game of alignment and persuasion. It's like a context switch from chess to poker.* Going back into learning mode with books on sales and business is really refreshing.

Shockingly, once I cobbled my demo together it didn't just start raining term sheets. My impression is that people who know what it's like to be here don't let it out as not to discourage others.

However, what I still believe is, we don't regret things we take all the way. What we live to regret is the the pulled punch, the hedged bet, the b-plan, the retreat, the fold, the concession, the job, the approval of people we don't admire, the unsaid, the declined invitation, the judgment, the things we held on to or didn't let go, and the lack of belief in ourselves - these are the things that will shake you awake at night in middle age, and I assume, forever thereafter.

When you finish something, you need to "pop," up a level of problem solving. It's analogous skills, just with new tools and variables. Oddly, it's also a way to rest. There is an old saying that translates to "a change is as good as a break," and getting my code to the point where I could not touch it for a week while I worked my pipeline and have a demo meeting where it just worked was a huge confidence and energy boost.

Take time to invest in reading some books on business in your field. It has massive returns and feels like a break.
I suspect they will end up in the same situation as they did with Motorola more than a decade ago, until someone reminds them that the people who are serious about software should make their own hardware.

My armchair guess would be that debt is keeping people chained to particular locations. If you live in a town that no one wants to live in, who will buy your house?

If you go bankrupt or have a foreclosure on the record, it can be hard to move to locations with better opportunities. Many jobs require credit checks, so leaving the job you don't want can be a hassle.
Haha. I love me some subtle blocksize jokes.
the reasoning for that thinking is simply because MCTS is comparable to DFS while something like minimax is comparable to BFS.

Of course, because MCTS searches in a depth-first manner, the deeper the depth the less effective it is, because you have less time for your rollouts (as your rollouts are more expensive).

But not many board games (if we are limiting ourselves to this example) will have thousands of moves until end of game -- they may, however, have an exponentially large breadth of moves.

For a game like Go, MCTS could simulate thousands of rollouts in the amount of time it would take minimax to evaluate two plies ahead.
Why is this argument repeated so often? How is that comparison not clearly absurd to you? The conventional financial system is very obviously many orders of magnitude more efficient than bitcoin.
Do they need a self driving car? Facebook isn't building one. Amazon isn't building one.

I can see why a self driving car appeals to Apple since Apple's expertise is integrating software and hardware in a high quality way but I don't see this as something the need to do to not be left behind.
>Here: "that must mean that Twitter banning people is also a violation of the first amendment"

>That's... pretty darn clear.

Yes, it's clearly supporting exactly what I originally claimed: that the OP was saying this ruling implies that Twitter must do X and is therefore absurd, not that the OP thinks Twitter must do X. Again, the concept of a reductio ad absurdum, extremely common in internet forums like this one: "You claimed X, which implies Y, which is absurd. So X must be wrong."

"The first amendment doesn't apply to Twitter" doesn't engage with that at all.

>The first two lines of your comment frame your response as counter to the position of the person you are replying to. That would be counter to you new claim that you agree it's not a 1st Amendment issue.

Not when I'm objecting to the attribution and clarified specifically what I meant.

>Disagreement with a claim followed by an argument is generally taken by readers as an argument as to why the claim is wrong, not right. Just so you know for future writing.

What about when I disagree with the attribution of a claim and want to clarify someone's point? What other way could I have possibly clarified the parent's point so that you wouldn't misinterpret my comment? Just so I know for future writing.

If you just didn't read what I wrote or didn't follow the actual discussion, you should probably just own up to it and not make up some story about how there's an actual improvement possible over the original post. (FWIW, you still can't seem to think of such an improvement.)

If I may make a suggestion, the problem might be that you immediately think that any critical comment must be disagreeing with everything in that comment, even if the text of comment says otherwise, and you can therefore ignore the text. That's an error on your end to correct, and there's nothing in my writing that would fix it.
Incidentally, the recent tax cut bill removed the individual deduction for moving expenses when moving to a new job. So the financial costs of relocating have increased.
I wish Apple the best, but the truth is that AI powered software made by Apple just isn't good. But I still prefer Apples stance to data privacy a lot more than what Google does, even if it means it's a bit behind.

I solved this problem by giving my two year old my old phone. She doesn't complain and I get to use my phone in peace. She calls me out when I'm trying to use the phone and she wants attention.

And in case anyone is wondering, her vocabulary soared after we started letting her use the phone, and most people comment on how advanced her language skills are, so anecdotally the phone seems to be helping her not hurting her, despite all the objections we get when they see my toddler using a phone.
These are mostly elitist concerns. The ordinary folks on the ground often turn out to be pretty happy. They have a routine life, friends and community and they simply dont care about opportunities at that point.
Re: Robinhood fees. Who cares about the fees that the wholesalers pay -- It's about the end-user experience. And for that matter, you don't seem to understand the full picture on how routing/fees work with retail orders for US equities. Robinhood orders typically get routed to wholesalers like Virtu, Two Sigma or Citadel that actually execute the orders at the prevailing market price on public exchanges. Robinhood gets PAID for that, not the other way around.

Do you really expect the typical person to set a bunch of passive limit orders on GDAX until they get filled? What kind of user experience is that? I would be willing to wager that 95%+ of Coinbase users are just buying and selling directly on Coinbase (and paying the extremely high fees) and have no idea what GDAX is.

If you grew up in a town, and maybe have seen a couple of cycles of better and worse, growth and decline, it's hard to really believe that this time is different.

> According to a new Brookings Institution report, the largest metro areas—those of 1 million or more people—have experienced 16.7 percent employment growth since 2010, and areas with 250,000 to 1 million have seen growth of 11.6 percent, while areas with fewer than 250,000 residents have lagged far, far behind, with only 0.4 percent growth.

So, clearly most Americans don't stay behind when their town has no future. The article should add the qualifier "Some" Americans to avoid a misleading impression.

The article seems like veiled scientific racism to me, and some of the author's points along with the people arguing about IQs in the comments seem to lend some credence to that idea. I don't doubt that culture plays some role in it all, but the author seems to skirt around the idea that Black Americans may have this very distinct culture as a result of being at the bottom of society for so long.
