The bottom line is that it's a bad idea to buy a house unless you are fairly certain that you will be staying in it for at least 6-10 years. Anything else is unduly relying on nominal price appreciation.
Why would a software vendor want that? Why would anyone else participate in that chain? There are a ton of existing systems to cover these needs, and there has to be a compelling reason to shift over to the blockchain.

I’m not sure I’d go with stablecoins, since the main one appears to be a massive fraud. It’s still unclear why you would want a “decentralized” stablecoin that’s actually managed by a central trusted authority that, pinky swear, has the backing cash.

The assertion was made that blockchains are new, and I pointed out that’s nonsense. I never said that old=worthless, you made that up.
No, not necessarily the latest “cool tech”, just something other than Java. Just because you’ve spent a lot of money and time on the Java platform doesn’t mean continuing to throw resources at it isn’t a example of the sunk cost fallacy at work.

I've migrated a site from WAS to JBoss. The support experience is night and day. WAS on IBM OS on IBM hardware not working? Pay a four-figure-per-day consult to be told that's just how WAS works on that platform, buy more hardware.

Same application on JBoss, problems with performance, RH dropped experts in as part of the support contract.

This is not a one-off in my experience. RH, Microsoft, other vendors I deal with treat a lot of these things as covered by your enterprise support contracts. IBM treat it as a chance to upsell a services engagement, and maybe pitch that the work should be outsourced, too.
A big loser here is Microsoft. IBM has basically just purchased Linux at the time when Microsoft has finally embraced it.
> speeding along at 20mph next to pedestrians

Hmm, I wonder how feasible it would be for the next generation of scooters to have pedestrian-collision avoidance tech built into them. Put in a camera or two, some neural nets or whatever other tech is needed, and the scooter would limit its speed to something near (1.5X or 2X) walking speed when you get close to a pedestrian.

Even if you ban scooters from sidewalks, it's still going to happen, so this could perhaps increase safety. And maybe even allow the two to peacefully co-exist.

I started with Andrew Ng's Coursera class. There are 5 different courses and I went through the first course and 3/4 through the 4th on conv nets. I would say he does a really good job of explaining the basics but the code is a little dated as AI is moving so fast.

I'm a few weeks in to Fast.ai and the professor keeps it high level and has more focus on application than theory. You jump straight into working on image classification which is broken down into clear concise steps that gives you some confidence moving forward. If you do take the course make sure to plug in your own data and get a feel for how everything works before jumping to the next video.

I would say its good to have some knowledge of the basics, so watch a few weeks worth of Andrews course while it's still free(7 day trial). Skip over the programming assignments because they are too low level and verbose. Then when you think you have a good sense how things work jump over to Fast.ai and start coding.
I recently discovered schemaspy and while it took a bit of working knowledge of java (need to execute a jar file from the command line) to get it working, it’s absolutely fantastic and one of the most sophisticated tools for dealing with ERDs at the DB level. Plus it’s open source! The only things I see that are possible improvements with this product are the fact that you don’t need to bootstrap a local database to generate this and it’s probably faster and easier to generate. I had a reasonably complex schema (200 ish tables with relationships) and schemaspy took about 3 minutes to generate the output. Once you do generate it though, it’s just a bunch of html and SVG in a folder so you don’t have to regenerate it until your scheme is updated.

It's not picking winners and losers in any sense of that phrase. They are literally punishing the bank for bad behavior and that's to be expected from what a regulator should be doing. If someone breaks the law and you send that person to jail you're not picking winners and losers in any way. You're meting out discipline as needed to punish the bad behavior and try to make it so that it doesn't happen again.

Also can you show where economists are skeptical of government picking winners and losers since the government has been doing it for ages and the economy has been marching on for a long while. In fact, picking winners and losers in the 2008 recession is what led to moving out of the recession.

> I'm curious what openSUSE folks think of SUSE having been acquired by Novel, then Attachmate, and then the Micro Focus merger. They've been through a lot, and openSUSE is still here.

OpenSuSE has been more like Fedora over their years; they historically never had a CentOS equivalent (although the newer OpenSuSE is moving there).
I am so sad about this. There is nothing good that I see coming out of this, but I hope that's just my bias. Red Hat has been a huge contributed to Linux and open source for years, I want to keep my Fedora!!
> My final theory is that someone is paying them a lot of money for the data they collect for use in training their self-driving vehicle AI. In this case they would want to show you CAPTCHAs more frequently to collect more data to sell for more profit.

That's an interesting thought. I hadn't really thought about it being a training set for self-driving AI but that would make sense given that all examples are from Google Street View nowadays.
It seems that if you don't punish them for the bad things the companies they acquired did then companies will just do bad things and then get acquired, even by another subsidiary or holding company just to evade the laws and regulations. Isn't that a huge loophole you'd be opening?
Not really. The internet is the primary way we receive information about a large number of people. Turn off that source and the envy must dry up. For the rest, there’s meditation.
"When choosing a development board, consider what you get with it and what you want to use it for. FPGAs are ideal for use with high speed peripherals, and in general it is much easier to buy a board that contains the part you want, rather than trying to add one on later (and inevitably giving up and upgrading to a more capable board). Examples of things you might want, and are quite difficult to add yourself:

Gigabit Ethernet
HDMI/DVI
PCI/PCI Express
External non-serial memory (DDR/Flash etc.)
Things that are relatively easy to add, and are not so much of a big deal to wire up yourself.

MMC/SD cards
Character (e.g. 16x2) LCDs
Anything I2C/SPI and relatively low speed
VGA (with low colour depth)
I like having a board with many (at least 8) SPST switches and LEDs, and momentary buttons. Unlike a microcontroller where it's relatively easy to spit debug information out of a serial port or to an LCD with a single C function call, debugging FPGA designs is a bit harder. LEDs provide a zero fuss way to break out internal signals for visualisation - if you're tracking the progress of a complex state machine, you can light up an LED when it gets to a certain point without adding any extra logic. While these are easy enough to add yourself, I find that it's better to get a board that has them so that you don't waste valuable user IOs or waste time investigating failures caused by your terrible soldering skills."

int foo[n] where n is variable and cannot be inferred at compile time.
void foo(int n)
{
int m[n];
}

The downside is if n is large you use a lot of stack, but you wouldn't notice if it's mostly called with low values. So a bit of a ticking time bomb.

I guess if you have a really large n, like more than a few pages worth, then certain values of m[i] might wind up in some other page allocation where it shouldn't.... I seem to recall a vulnerability like this a year or two ago. (Normally a stack can grow on a page fault by hitting a guard page, but if the n above is absurdly large...)
That used to come with an extremely loose immigration policy. The default assumption being if you were physically in the country then you were American. You can't have strict immigration and not have tracking of who citizens actually are.

FaaS is closer in mindset to CGI than fCGI : if you're gonna have a server accepting connections, you might as well accept HTTP connections. CGI and FaaS are more like developing a function that transforms a request into a response, and let the infra deal with the rest.

It is true though that it would be nice to have a standard for FaaS that doesn't have the inefficiency of CGI.

Rsync with tar on both sides

Meh. They have a bad reputation due to calling open word source software cancer the new windows business model.

Also, while their engineers are certainly smart, their software seems very crusty (the down side of infinite backwards compatibility) and usually doesn't play well at all with existing open source software. Thus: Mostly useless.
For the sake of brevity: limiting power. There are many details in the implementation with this purpose. Powers are separated. Terms are limited in time and number. Money for the campaigns controlled. Public opinion can be as dangerous as judges, etc.

In many cases, the good part is not having the power to elect people, it's the power to remove them from their positions when it's clear they're useless or corrupt. When someone is in an executive position for years, they often develop client politics nets. So even if the new boss is no better than the former, it's healthy to send them home while they aren't masterful thieves yet.

Even with all the safeguards, corruption happens. What do you think happens when there are no safeguards?

Some people thinks that living in a tiranny is just a question of shutting your mouth and avoid politics. But that's not it. Imagine you live in such a country and your boss, a politician or a policeman likes your wife or daughter or son. Then you are fired, or threatened or found guilty of anything convenient.

Living in a democracy won't save you always, but it gives you a chance.

It was definitely cancelled because the CBC was already under fire from Harper and it was a show that featured a lot of Harper style corruption. The CBC also didn't promote it or put it up for rewards during the time it ran.

Once their crimes are public knowledge, the expected cost of the future penalties should be priced into the purchase price. Unless the penalties were larger than expected (and if anything they were smaller), they got what they paid for.

>t's not picking winners and losers in any sense of that phrase. They are literally punishing the bank for bad behavior

This response repeats the confusion that I just responded to, and tried to correct.

Note that my post does not actually disagree with enforcement of regulatory authority. I also believe that regulators should enforce their regulations. What I pointed to was something different than this.

>If someone breaks the law and you send that person to jail

But that's not a valid comparison. I think this is where you, and others, are confused.

The judicial branch has the authority to enforce laws for breaking crimes. That's what you're comparing this to.

Regulators also have authority to enforce regulatory law.

But what is happening is that a regulator is arguably not using their regulatory authority appropriately. They are, "behind closed doors," and using "unwritten rules" using their authority to punish a company for bad behavior.

The problems here are of transparency, accountability, fairness, competitiveness, and freedom.

I could agree with you if I believed the regulator can do no wrong, but I don't believe that.
The innovation is that assets can be tracked and traded without any third party saying it’s OK. Essentially we now have programmable money with no middlemen. What comes from this innovation is anyone’s guess, but if you are an entrepreneur, this is a very intriguing technology in which to start new ventures. It may remain niche, or it may fundamentally alter the financial industry (currencies, securities, payments...) and perhaps many others. Time will tell!

It's pretty bad if you ask me. A governments job is to follow the law too and not use its discretion in 'unwritten law' that is secretive.

No problem if they publicly said they would do this, but this way is precisely the problem of developing countries. You wouldn't think it would happen in America.

The way I look at it fabrication would be impossible if done right.

1) precinct has record of every eligible voter
2) voter can (via encrypted means) retrieve their vote so it's still "private", but the voter can view it after they've voted.

So as long as (a) the precinct confirms only eligible voter records are counted and (b) each voter can confirm their vote counted how they intended then I can't see how fabrication comes into play.

Granted this assumes the systems in place to onboard new voters is solid, but even if it's not breaches should in theory expose the weaknesses and make it possible for us to iterate toward an even more perfect system. By not exposing the core data it's kind of like "security through obscurity".
