Hi, I'm Anders Brownworth, Chief Evangelist at Circle. I'm happy to answer any questions on USD Coin, CENTRE or Circle.

We're also hiring! See https://circle.careers/
That was an amazing read. The fun thing, is that I started the draft of a quite similar post a couple of weeks ago. That's a great example of definite optimism. The fact that the post mentions but doesn't expand on outer-space solutions it's a bummer.
But according to that page, Coinbase already has a BitLicense?
I totally agree with them that it should not be posted here.
A year or two back, I had an encounter with an artist. They were in some financial distress. This person blamed Uber and a company they'd rented a car from for this distress, telling a tale of woe and failed art shows. They included numbers.

I took the numbers provided and worked out what their finances looked like. Tracked income and outlays. It quickly became clear that while Uber hadn't helped their situation, the several thousand dollars they had spent on financially unsuccessful art shows had more to do with their distress.

The artist in question was blown away. They'd literally never encountered the notion of tracking their money in a meaningful sense.

What I learned from this is that what's unimaginable to me - such as the idea of budgeting being entirely foreign - is someone else's normal. I also learned that it's impossible to put myself into their shoes fully, because life experiences can easily diverge wildly.
2. For the vast majority of sites, this is a Business request, since the cookies aren't necessary for operation. They're just for tracking. A login cookie being set would trigger the legal requirement, but a user with no account shouldn't even see the box.
Meta-data can be embedded to describe and categorize content. But accessibility is usually not a goal for many "office productivity" applications (per my domain-specific standards suggestion). Usage of DOM alone does not guarantee accessibility either.

As far as Qt, while it may be a good starting point, I don't think direct C++ calls is practical. Some intermediate markup or declarative language should be formed around it: a declarative wrapper around Qt.
I lost count of the people who complained about their iDevices features not working properly because they intentionally (so they thought) turned them off.
Having eg location services turned off by default and not ask about it will just lead to tons of people complaining that directions don’t work properly.
And asking them the moment they open the builtin maps application will make them close the app because ‘it does not work’ and ‘there’s an error’ and ‘iPhones are so complicated’.
Sounds like a great problem to work on! When you have such a well defined problem it can be a great ticket to do good work since in some ways you can control the stack top to bottom. Have fun!
DOI 10.1145/2957276.2957300 is an attempt at using binary-tree variants to improve CRDT's searching performance bottleneck in converting external index position to internal object identifiers. We address these specific complexities in Section 4.2.1.

DOI 10.1145/2957276.2957300 doesn't deal with operation compression. If you believe it does, please point out where we might find it.

It is trivial state opinions like 'OT is complex', but much harder work to back it up with concrete evidence. I'd think folks will find the discussion more informative without the constant hand-waving.
IntelliJ plugin is also pretty amazing.
Wouldn't the auction of stablecoins basically have to be at face value? Just by market forces: You don't auction dollars.

Then they'd just cash then in at coinbase, right?
There is no "grey" area for hate. It's absolutely binary. If you hate something or someone, there's no half-way. Hate is the force behind the Holocaust, hate is the force behind the Iraq Wars. Hate has torn the Middle-east to shreds for millennia. Hate was the Khmer Rouge's genocide. Hate was Apartheid.

Giving hate any leeway is to give it 100% of its power. It must MUST MUST be fought as an absolute.
Hey there Jesse. Question for you: Will Coinbase Commerce also be integrating support for USDC? Thanks!
"Opponents of deplatforming generally argue that the long-term reaction to the deplatforming is worse than the problem the bad person's ideas were causing."

Not just that the reaction is worse, that the deplatforming erodes the spirit of free speech. I believe free speech is an important part of democracy.
>Your code does tend to end up a bit c-like in those performance critical sections, but that's hardly surprising.

That isn't true. Closures, higher order functions and fused broadcast array expressions are all very fast except in some corner cases.
I always look at askance to USD-in-a-bank-account backed stablecoins. There's no innovation in them.

Their value also depends on how many USD's stored in that bank account (not transparent to ordinary people), and the inherent problem with USD - that the FED, a central authority prints it, remains still.

There are other - in my opinion more honest - crypto-only stablecoins, like Dai (of MakerDAO) or Augmint, which are not freezable by any authority, nor cheatable by bribed auditors. They are backed solely by crypto assets, all transparent.
I usually accomplish that task indirectly by running Ansible first as a provisioner of Packer to create the images I need. Then I run terraform to deploy everything I have just created.
This is the terrible version of that GIF circulating on twitter.
There's another interesting language difference to look at, both within the history of Western worship, and in various countries.

Western worship has become heavily "I/Me" based, where historically it was more "Us/We" based. To the point it's starting to drive me crazy. Worship is becoming almost entirely selfish. A group of individuals having an individual experience, instead of a group of people having a collective, binding, experience with God.
Try reddit on mobile. They keep trying to push you on their shitty app.
Seriously, it isn't we have ice cores, and direct records for the last 200 years that show that the periodic changes in planet temperature are nothing like what has been happening for the last hundred years.

That said, I'm going to assume that based on your comment, you aren't actually interested in science or anything beyond talking points provided by others.

If you were actually interested in the science of this you would be able to provide studies that haven't been subsequently refuted, or been demonstrated to not actually compensate for the measured effect of global warming.

Solar cycles have been demonstrated to not explain the current changes in global temperature. The impact is not anywhere near fast enough to match current the last hundred years of change.

Random variance doesn't explain it - models for global warming predict increases in extremes of basically all events. Random variance is random so does not explain any changes with a measurable bias.

Conspiracy theories don't explain anything. 1) they're conspiracy theories, not science; 2) they depend on everyone lying about the temperature over time, except everyone agrees on what the temperatures are.

No hypothesis put forward, matches the core predictive ability of global warming theory: global temperature is increasing, as a result of increased CO2 and other pollutants introduced into the atmosphere by human, and human driven industries. This theory predicts increased global average temperature as long as greenhouse emissions continue, it explains ocean acidification, and it explains increased frequency "extreme" weather.

If you have some alternative hypothesis that matches prior atmospheric behavior over the last 200 years, and can also explain the things that global warming does, I'm all ears.

But I suspect you're just either a troll, or a talking point driven internet commenter.
I agree, I slouch on it, but in various ways. It's quite comfy even sideways.
> 1. A Curta calculator. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curta

The article notes that Marcus Wu has published a printable 3D model of a curta (at 3:1 size due to printer precision issues, though there are comments about people attempting 2:1 builds). You can also find actual curtas on ebay, though they're not cheap ($500~$1500 depending on condition and the like).
Yes it will collapse the civilization, without doubt. It will not kill off the entire species as you said, which is what I am arguing.

Does having a settlement on mars change any of that? Should we not first create self sustaining pods on the earth? After that, what do we need mars for? Just for access to water, sunlight, protection from radiation, and gravity? Surely, a settlement on a big spaceship would be viable too?
Completely unrelated to the core of the article, does someone know which program was used for the sketches/diagrams?
> C++ for example, is a hard language, but the learning curve is ... progressive (rise bit by bit).

Except that you've always got a footgun in each hand, with no safeties and no trigger guards.

Rust keeps its footguns locked in the gun safe. You get them out with the `unsafe` keyword.
I really like this idea.
Actually, I have it in control center on my iDevices, but I’m not sure if I had to turn that on.
Technology picks up its Brand within the Service of Social Justice
The rules for establishing attorney-client relationships are different than the rules for establishing a patient-doctor relationship.

And, the duties and responsibilities of a lawyer to their client are different than for doctors.

They could be made the same but that would require new/more laws.
Hundreds of millions from the sale of Pixel 3 Qi chargers seems wildly optimistic.
> They're not. And the specific reason they are not, is the algorithmic timeline and content suggestions.

I think the more pertinent reason here is that these platforms have broadcast capability (immediate communication with many people) as opposed to p2p capability (traditional SMS or phone calls). Even if Twitter was strictly chronological, without any algorithmic mutation, we'd still presumably be insisting they police content, right? I agree with your conclusion that they're publishers, but to me, what makes a publisher a publisher is not content curation or mutation, but is simply broadcast capability. And so our drive to regulate follows quite naturally from similar drives to regulate the press and media.
The general sense seems to be that you either get long keys or fast computation but not both?
If you don't like pointlessly repeating occurrences of identifiers, you should hardly be favoring C++.

class foo {
public:
foo();
~foo();
};

foo::foo() { }

foo::~foo() { }

Ad nauseum.

Oh, but C++ can eliminate redundancy in this one cool case I'm thinking of!
>Baidu, Alibaba, VMWare, ARM

So in the server less future, Linux and FreeBSD will no longer be at the heart of these "Functions"? But instead they all migrate to Unikernel? At the scale they are operating I am pretty sure it make sense, if it brings 5 - 10% performance improvement along with other benefits.

Not sure if I like the way things are moving in that direction though.
If no one has even heard of them, how could their prices possibly matter to anyone.
I've commuted by bus for the past 7 years, about an hour each way. You often have to pick your home based on the bus route though. Even when buying a house that was a major factor I considered. If you're smart about it it's just as viable as living farther out and driving an hour each way every day.
Responding to Problems – Craft Your Message
Like many tools, speech can be dangerous because speech can be useful.
That "shortage of engineers" is a complete fabricated story, designed and perpetuated by big tech companies, with 1 goal: keep costs from skyrocketing. If there were truly a shortage you would be seeing a DRAMATIC rise in salaries, not the mediocre rise you're seeing over the last 5 years.

The truth of the matter is there's an enormous influx of new developers stateside thanks to the media frenzy around developer shortages. The pinnacle of this hype even reached the White House, with Obama urging young people to enter the field.

We have plenty of developers here, companies just don't want to pay them more. And if you can't find them here there is an even larger pool of developers available abroad. Companies have perpetuated this myth of "not enough developers" and the nation bought it hook line and sinker.
> But the lawyer has special duties

And what are those duties, and how they are enforced?
There's something missing here.

How long ago did he finish his program? Is your friend limiting his search only to jobs in academia? Is he capable of getting a security clearance? What's your gauge of "respected"?

There are many government and industry jobs for fresh Physics PhDs right now.
simulation operator issues `delete earth`
The issue is that finding a class of sparse matrices that don't ruin the security guarantees is really tricky. This more or less is the approach that ring-lwe takes - the matrices can be represented as polynomials and therefore are only linear in the security parameter, not quadratic (it also speeds up all the other operations via FFT-type techniques). But even there you have to be really careful about how you're constructing these polynomials, which boils down to a bunch of fancy algebraic number theory.
I bring out the slide rule pretty much these days to give history lessons to young folks. Last time I showed how it worked to a pair of GenZ kids they looked at me with a healthy bit of skepticism. Like somehow this was some sort of fake contraption. I felt a bit like my late father explaining what it was like to crank a car to start it.

Except hardware and software are patentable. If we didn't have that and companies could make true alternatives, sure, but as far as technology goes it's highly monopalistic. Your argument is also the definition of selfishness given that you only take into account your own circumstances. You're literally advocating against yourself.
I am saying that building a self sustaining pod on earth should be the first step. Not going to mars and establishing a settlement utterly dependent on earth for resources.

And when such pods are built, and self sustaining technology mastered, what use is mars really? Why not make big self sustaining spaceships? What do you really need a planet for?
It also doesn't have a sticky footer, which appears after I close the "sign up for our newsletter" popup, asking if I would like to sign up for their newsletter.
My prediction is absolutely not "fewer total layers of abstraction", but only that this one will be collapsed in time. You can collapse one layer of abstraction and add two more, which is sufficient for my prediction to be compatible with the "more total layers of abstraction" prediction. :)
Putting aside that it's a slippery and malleable label to apply to undesirable speech, there is an elitism hiding in these ban-hate-speech arguments.

The core assumption is that while _I_ am able to see these vile ideas for the lies they are, the unsophisticated masses must not be allowed to hear them, lest they fall prey.

This is problematic in ways that used to be obvious to people in free societies, but for some reason seems lost now.
I would assume Circle (backed by Goldman Sachs) is keeping the reserve dollars in segregated, FDIC insured bank accounts. Would be out of character and expected policy for a U.S. operation to not to.
You're defining dehumanization biologically, when in usage the term is overloaded with another definition that refers to depriving others of dignity, individuality, and other positive human qualities.

To say that another doesn't deserve to be recognized with those positive human qualities is at the root of saying that they don't deserve to exist.
Go buy some courses/coaching programs. It’s way less about one specific action turning you into a great salesperson. You don’t turn into a marathon runner overnight.

Ive spent $7k on coaching and sales this year (just what I could afford from my small startup) and it’s RADICALLY improved my production.

Just start trying shit (udemy, go to local sales events, spend more). If you actually learn how to sell you’ll be able to close biz for rest of your life. Then learn real lead gen and you’re set.

My personal preference is an inflatable sun shield method like these 10,000 kilometer-wide objects: "Self-deployed, extremely large low mass space structures" http://diyhpl.us/~bryan/papers2/space/Self-deployed%20extrem...

I don't think people realize how a lot of these problems are solvable for only a few billion dollars... It's an engineering problem, mainly. Someone just spends the money and goes and fixes the problem.

I was listening to a radio interview with an (American) football coach (Sean McVay), who has risen up the ranks very quickly. The guy can instantly recall details about past football plays and outcomes like a walking encyclopedia, and apply them situationally during games. Hyper focused. The interviewer asked him of this recall and focus translated to other aspects of his life, and the coach said that it was limited to football, and that he's essentially an unbalanced mess with anything non-football related. So, for these people that seem to have super recall and deep, broad expertise in their professional environments, does it often come at the expense of being equally unbalanced in other areas of their life?
Speed is so valuable in this. The momentum you get from deals dropping more than makes up for the cost. And getting around other high performers
There is a decentralized stablecoin, DAI that's backed by Ethereum holdings and smart contracts. I think if ETH is doing ok you can swap a DAI for $1 worth of ETH. If it ETH crashes I presume you get given the ETH which you can sell. It relies on 'oracles' to give the ETH/USD exchange rate to the smart contracts. https://medium.com/@james_3093/the-dai-stablecoin-is-a-game-...
This adds to the list of reasons why I won't be getting a Pixel 3. Other reasons include the notch on the screen, the glass on the back, and the reduced efficacy of autocorrect.

I'm using a Pixel 2 currently, and the back is heavily cracked because I am clumsy and drop it often. Who puts glass on the back of the phone and why?
I picked up a Nokia 6.1 (2018 version) about a month ago when my Pixel 1 stopped charging (the USB-C port failed) for £200.

It's a rock solid phone, runs stock android (Android One), no notch, decent enough camera, plenty of storage (for me).

I was planning on getting the Pixel 3 and keep the Nokia as a spare but I have no need to spend a grand on a phone which ostensibly doen't do anything more for me.
What can be done to correct this definition? What should be adjusted?
Look at MKR token, which is the governance token of Dai. It more than doubled in price during the last months. Because it's sparse and used up when making new Dai's (by collaterizing crypto assets).

Buying MKR and supporting Dai might be a good strategy.
It’s even worse: many people are demanding Facebook monitor Messenger chats for abuses in Mayanmar while at the same time not wanting Facebook to monitor Messenger chats. This is just a perfect example of constant catch-22s I see in people’s expectations of tech companies. You can’t expect Facebook to both not monitor chat messages AND prevent chat messages that do harm. You can have one or the other.
I imagine it will be a much higher share of commercial vehicles (busses and trucks) vs. the bay bridge that is largely a commuter bridge. Macau and Zhuhai are too far away for people to commute. And politically, Macau's population is too small to matter as a source of people who might work in HK, while the mainlanders in Zhuhai likely don't have appropriate immigration status to work in HK. (Yes, mainlanders need visas and permits to be in HK.)
How intricate have you found your co-workers AIs get?
Thank you for this, I'm one of the creators of Solo.

BTW, to add to your point, a couple interesting numbers.

1) Search "login" on Kickstarter [1]. All 22 campaigns from 2011 to 2018 have failed!

2) Search "security" [2], and the most backed project doesn't even reach 10k people.

It's indeed a really hard space.

If I can criticize our community of technical people, we're not really inviting "normal people" to join. Some of my friends tried to read throughout the comments, only found technical details or complains, and simply gave up and left. I'm sure many potential backers do the same. It'd just take the effort to go to github, nerd about whatever we like there, and leave the Kickstarter cleaner for regular people to participate. It is what it is, of course we're more than happy with the result so far. Lesson learned for the next one. :)

If you're defining it like that then it's just as vague and subjective as "hate speech" is, so we haven't made any progress with this definition.

Given the dual needs, it might make sense to have different allocation schemes, one that uses the built-in GC, and which allows sharing/interop outside of WASM (JS, DOM, etc), and one which is entirely manual (or home-rolled GC), which does not (or makes you set a very specific set of flags which alerts the user). Without that, I'm not sure there's a way to really handle memory allocation and deallocation sanely that prevents most memory leaks.

Then you have such an extremely non-mainstream definition of hate speech that it was borderline intellectually dishonest of you not to come out with that example from the beginning.

Even in Europe, which has much stricter bans on hate speech and xenophobia than the US does, and where capital punishment is banned, claiming capital punishment should be unbanned is legal.
