>>It is a well documented fact that Srenis would have to declare their Dharma by which they, and their members, had to abide by, and was sanctioned by the Monarch. This was simply called Sreni-Dharma.

I am not sure as to how this is relevant. Shrenis were guilds and shrenidharma obviously refers to a code of conduct for members. This could have been relevant to use in this context except that it is clearly half assed attempt to use an ancient word. Dharma should have been used as suffix in this context; shrenidharma = guild + rules. Other exmaples of use are atithidharma, kuladharma etc... So not only are they appropriating "Dharma" to make themselves look cool, they are also using it incorrectly.

>>There's NOT a single unifying factor that united Indian religions...so again, please tell me where Hindus are the same

This is simply not true. Take tantra for example ( I am not sure about Himalayan Tantra ) Tantrik traditions and scriptures are derived from both Shaivites and and Vaishnavs, with neither schools laying exclusive claims on Tantrik tradtions. I am not alluding to Buddhist Mahayana 's tantrik traditions.

Arya Samaj grew as a reformation of the 19th century Hinduism. My grandfather was a Arya Samaji but not my grandmother who was a vaishnav. The one thing that western scholars of Hinduism often miss is the fluidity of devotion -- by that I mean Hindus are equally at ease in perfoming pujas of deities from diffent schools. In hindu households, you will find Rama, Shiva , Ganesha , Durga and Krishna and they would all be worshipped. The differences of interpretation of Geeta and Vedas are left to scholars to argue but to claim that they have nothing in common is just wild exaggeration.
I find this pretty upsetting to read. Moving country has significant risk and difficulty, have you tried it? I have. The challenges today are not about finding clean water or basic shelter no, but if you have ever had to figure out healthcare, ID cards, banks, tax and find a job while managing a family? I’m sure you would might consider that it’s not easy after trying it.
I’m talking inline in a function call. Not documentation above the function.
There's always justification for genetically-modified foods from a producer's perspective, in that improving yields by reducing time-to-ripen, improving disease resistance and other attributes by means of genetic modification is simply 'good business'. The justification to use genetic modification is of course always potentially counter-balanced by consumer backlash to GMOs.

Eliminating the need for such modification -- for the sake of the argument -- does not negate the argument for genetic modification from a business perspective. It may weaken it to the point that it's not good practice, but never outright negates it.

(Note that this isn't an argument for GMOs, just an argument that they can be justified from a producer's perspective as merely a business function.)

There is another--less talked about--way to double-spend: developers can cause forks and double-spend during the confusion.

In 2013, the network forked unexpectedly [0] and the Bitcoin network had 2 chains for about 4 hours. During those 4 hours, it is entirely possible that people sent BTC to exchanges they knew were going to be on the chain that ended up being orphaned.

A conniving team of centralized developers can take this a step further and discover or intentionally plant a consensus bug that causes such a fork and because developers ultimately tell everyone which chain contains the "fix" (in 2013, they commanded that the minority chain was the right one), the developers know which chain will be orphaned and thus which exchange they can exploit.

I don't think have any idea how any of this really works. The issue that Apple has with Maps and Siri is lack of data. They simply don't have all of the street view or POI data which allows them to accurately identify businesses or identify gaps in mapping data. Likewise for Siri they don't have access to Google's Knowledge Graph and Apple's position on privacy limits what personal data is available.

None of this is a reflection on Apple's abilities in Data Science in which they've done some outstanding work on with (a) differential privacy with iOS and (b) FaceID.

And just because the Maps and Siri teams have issues of there own doesn't mean Apple has to stop everything they are doing until it is fixed. They can walk and chew gum at the same time.

It is actually quite deliberate. NASA and JPL are big on always communicating their work as a team effort, rather than highlighting individual contributors. As a practical example, notice how, during critical events (anytime you have a live-stream from Mission Control), everyone in the room wears the same shirt.
Another fun anecdote on the "one NASA" philosophy (albeit at a different scale) is that the Pathfinder lander (if memory serves me right) had a JPL sticker visible from the cameras at landing. NASA was not impressed: although designed, built and managed by JPL, this was a NASA mission. So Curiosity (also designed, built and managed by JPL) only has NASA stickers - but the wheels have a pattern that spells out "JPL" in Morse code and is visible in the rover tracks.

Heh. Gradualism vs. Catastrophism all over again.

As for 'no recovery for us' (if by 'us' you mean humanity) a thousand years is a long time. Hopefully, by then, they'll have taken some hard-earned lessons from our completely avoidable bone-headed mistakes. Or ... probably too optimistic. Okay, then, 10,000 years to stop being followers of fatuous fools.

On the bright side, if we use up most of the extractable fossil fuels, there won't be enough left for them to take that path.
One would argue that it’s only because they’ve nothing to lose at the time. I imagine sometimes all the smart motivated people who would never ever run for office or be a public figure of any sort because they’re afraid of their search or post history of their teens or 20s cropping up. I’ll bet it’s actually quite a massive amount. I’m certainly in that boat.

They actually haven’t done that. There are other sides to both of those stories that are pretty well supported and make for a far simpler and more straightforward explanation. It’s politically unpopular to discuss that though. Even floating the idea that there might be a rational explanation is enough to invite knee-jerk downvotes and accusations of being a fake Russian troll account. I find it quite bizarre.
And until Apple abandons their position on privacy as well as builds their own search engine/advertising platform they will forever struggle with Google.

I don't understand what you're arguing for here, why should affluent CA/NY/CT tax payers receive a tax break paid for by everyone else? How would you argue for the SALT deduction if it never existed in the first place?

I also don't see why it's a problem that some states are donors, they have more to give. Federal spending should be progressive, otherwise it simply drives more inequality.
Why do you say they're "absurdly" under-capitalized? They already make laptops. The phone's hardware seems fairly standard, no risky R&D gambles, and the software is Linux/OSS...

Building a car is incredibly easy. Double so if it's electric.

What's hard is (a) building lots of cars as Tesla is finding out and (b) building a perfect self driving car. Now Apple is one of the best companies in the world at manufacturing and as we've seen with FaceID they have a strong grasp of integrating neural networks into commercial products.

So I would never underestimate Apple of all companies.

Why do millennials think that working on a side project for a short while constitutes a start up or being an entrepreneur? You had a vague idea, worked on it for a while and it turned out to go nowhere. There is nothing wrong with that. But it was just a side project and not a start up. It certainly does not make you an entrepreneur.

By that definition I have had a dozen start ups and almost every programmer I know must be an entrepreneur. When did the bar get so low? Is no action too small for self-aggrandizement?

If I write a blog post I am not suddenly a published author. If I give $20 to a homeless person I am not suddenly a philanthropist. Helping a friend with some code does not suddenly make me a professional teacher.

Millennials, get over yourself.

Thanks so much for the feedback!

I think, based on other feedback we received, at least a subset of our target audience (recent graduates who are too busy to plan stuff) wants a way to be able to stay healthy without the boredom that comes with going to the gym.

I think the near-term plan is to give users the option to pick their desired intensity level. My personal bias also leans towards doing more intense activities, and I'd like the service to be one that I'd use.

The choice of two adventures is to prevent the "what if I don't like that week's adventure" argument. Currently, if too few people sign up for an adventure, we pad the rest of the group with personal friends :)

Almost every person we talked to gave us the feedback that they want to see the experiences of others. Will be adding that shortly.

The option to pay for a single adventure is a good idea.

Thanks again!

That proportionality applies to everything in EU law

Again the problem is that this is in the eye of the beholder. With 20 million euro maximum fines, it would be easy to say that 100k euros is proportional for the lowest levels of offenses - after all, its only 0.5% of the maximum. But that would still kill most small businesses.

Regardless, it’s pointless to argue since GDPR is here in about 36 hours, and we will all get to witness its wrath - hopefully from the sidelines. I think that within a year, most US based websites will have closed their doors to EU residents, which may be the worst aspect of this for both the EU and the US. It’s sad, but nobody - even sites with the best of intentions - can take on the liability of potential 20M euro fines, regardless of what you say the odds are of those actually being handed out.
I've been thinking about it quite a while. I think a big part of it is that when you finish one work item or project you need to move to something else. And people generally don't like change. I noticed that it gets even worse when I'm not completely sure what I'm going to work on next.
Just look at the history of their DXF format, which was hailed as their way of enabling interchange, but has perpetually been under-specified and lagged way behind the AutoCAD internal DWG format. It's not like that was an accident, they don't want you to be able to reliably take your drawings somewhere else. You need to be sure that any conversions of engineering drawings are perfect, so they make it 99% compatible to tout interchange, while the uncertainty from that last 1% of coverage makes it questionably useful in reality.

The CAD/CAM/engineering simulation industry in general is really bad - full of extreme vendor lock-in, onerous licenses and draconian DRM.

Isn't that being a tad overly-sensitive over what is, essentially, a technicality?

I agree that the tone borders on uncivil maybe crosses over with some vulgar language, but the only part that could be construed as ad-hominem is the phrase "You are the same kind of person" and, even then, the rest of the sentence goes on to accuse the commentor of making an argument by providing an analogy.

No name-calling occurred.

Threatening to ban someone for posting a comment that does, overall, make an important point, even when phrased awkwardly or not in the most civil way possible, is likely to have a chilling effect and "destroy intellectual curiosity", to borrow from the guidelines.

The Raspberry Pi Foundation seems deadset on pushing the same genre of chip from Broadcom forward. I doubt the serious bandwidth limitations (all your I/O going over 1 USB port) or the notable chipset flaws (1GB of ram max) will be amended any time soon. They've had 6 years to fix the Raspberry Pi, yet it still has the same hard limits.

For conventional financial systems, energy spending is upkeep. Something that needs to be done (due to thermodynamics), but is best minimized, because it costs money. So banks, minting, enforcement, branches, ATMs, etc. - they all try to minimize their upkeep, per the regular ways markets optimize this. All of this also arguably represents the lower bound of what it costs to run a financial system.

Cryptocurrencies, on the other hand, have energy use as a feature, not cost. Unlike conventional financial systems, cryptocurrencies try not to minimize energy expenditure, but maximize it, as a core function ensuring their integrity.

(Also, military and intelligence action count to stability of both conventional and cryptocurrency-based systems. After all, you can't run a crypto economy without stable and secure nation states with rule of law that allow for development and availability of advanced microelectronics (for mining), electricity and the Internet. Crypto is much more dependent on that than conventional systems.)

--

A tangentially related analogy that comes to mind: cryptocurrencies are like trying to build a city on a big hovering platform, kept aloft by great fans or jets. In order to keep the whole thing airborne, you'd find yourself constantly burning fuel just to counter gravity. Now we find this idea stupid because we can just build city on the ground and not waste any fuel at all - the surface of the Earth counters gravity for free. This is cryptocurrencies' relationship with trust. Trust works 99% of the time for free. Cryptocurrencies try to replace it with burning energy.
Uhhhh... heh slightly humorous.

Quick, How Might the Alien Spacecraft Work? (2016)
So when does the cottage industry of companies spring up that take data deletion requests in bulk from classes of EU citizens and batch them up for submission en masse to BigCo? And then also sell you a monitoring service to make sure that BigCo actually did go and delete all the data they were using (at least, that which is publicly visible)? And then when they find that one piece of data that wasn't deleted, sue BigCo?

It's probably far-fetched to think there's DDOS potential here for a company's data officer(s), but when do the bot farm service vendors craft significant numbers of realistic user accounts and then use the above companies to drown BigCo in deletion requests for those fake users?

This is not about advertising or any kind of misuse of the data. Rather, IT's role is very much one where they they setup and maintain systems and procedures that process data. It's certainly true that GDPR compliance is something an IT person will have to think about, but making the same employee responsible for auditing that things are compliant is quite a bit of a conflict. Auditing versus accounting is a similar concept.
When I tested this in the distant past, I found that all the compilers I tried generated exactly the same assembly for both loops.

I've seen it said that "The most optimizing compiler is the most normalizing compiler." [1] The infinite loop structure is pretty easy to normalize.

The only real difference that I saw was that some compiler front ends would produce warnings that the condition in the while loop was always true, where they seemed to assume the empty for must be intentional.

That's exactly what they are. How well can you access your music library from the platform? Control your lights? Ask about the state of your car? Your thermostat? Your shopping account at Amazon? Access to the Google knowledge graph? Your Gmail inbox, with the inferred fight information and calendar data?

Now imagine coming into this arena with none of those integrations. Your system can answer some questions about the weather. It can tell you that your Imap mail account has 3 new messages. Everything else, you've got to do the engineering work yourself to integrate, while Google and Amazon just publish APIs.

> There's a hidden cost of trust there

Yes, except the trust is free. Bitcoin replaces that trust with burning electricity.

It's kind of like standing on the ground. The surface of the Earth stops you from accelerating under gravity for free. But if you want to hover just above it, you have to burn ungodly amounts of energy, because you're now replacing surface with active propulsion. This is the same relationship as Bitcoin has with trust.

And yes, flying is occasionally useful. So are trustless systems. But both the ground and trust are features that cut out a lot of unnecessary energy usage from our lives.
Oh no doubt, and it does so intentionally. A voice assistant in my house effects me and only me. Therefore, I am ok with the privacy/convenience tradeoff because frankly IDK what Google thinks they know about me, but I google way too much random crap to ever put together a half-way decent profile about me and my interests.
True, but it's biased, which still causes trouble with some edge cases, depending on how/where you bias towards - biasing towards point-of-entry isn't always better than not biasing depending on where the lights are, and it's cumbersome to set up for artists (depending on where you bias towards).
I won't argue for SALT per se. I do have an issue with the political logic the Congress used in singling out Democratic states. Furthermore, the bill as a whole was regressive. Arguing for the progressive lifting of a specific subsidy, within the general context of a regressive bill that increases interstate subsidies, is hypocrisy. So is requiring food stamp recipients to undergo a battery of expensive tests while their analogs at governmental level get increased handouts.
There's a lot of truth to what you're saying even if its a "get off my lawn Millennials!" rant (I'm guessing you're Gen-X?). I've known Gen-Xer's with this attitude and know many Millennials that call a side project a side project, so the generational slant to your rant is a little off.
Well, a couple of the cryptocirrencies out there have privacy baked in, such Monero.

I don't see any of these privacy coins being banned yet, so.....

But anyways that is besides the point.

The argument that the OP was making was that governments are areal threat to crypto. And MY point was that these governments are NOT actually attacking cryoptocurrencies so I guess things are going to work out fine for cryptocurrencies.
