You learn Morse Code by hearing it... not by seeing it. So ignore that chart on the website. You have to hear the rhythm to learn it. "Di dah dit dit" is what L sounds like, etc. Don't count dits and dahs (you won't be able to keep up). Learn the sounds. It's easy if you learn the sounds.

And visual code (ship signalling by light) is totally different from code sent over radio. Also, no one uses Morse Code anymore for anything meaningful. Ham radio hobbyist use it for radio contest, and occasional rag chewing, but the most meaningful code you'll hear today are repeaters or vessels identifying... this is callsign... but that's about it.

Great hobby and very simple way to communicate but not worth it for survival IMO. And I know Morse Code (and can use it when I have to) upto about 15 to 20 WPM. I am rusty though as I seldom have a need or desire to use it.

The HN crowd tends to stay outside of these kinds of business circles, but I have a friend who doesn't, and he would ping me from time to time about "cloning a site and building a business around it." It took me awhile to understand the mentality. But "Uber for X" is very much a thing. We just don't pay attention to them because those companies never reach Uber growth. But you don't get to be Uber by just acquiescing to competition. It's not just about execution, you can't just take the high road, Uber's taken a lot of low roads to get where they're at.

It's basically like the kudzu that grows ubiquitously across the SE United States. Find a tree, climb it, then steal all its sunlight. Look at an existing business, find out what makes it tick, then clone its business model and go after its customers using the same marketing channels its using.

I don't think you'd have to read many business books to find an account of this happening, albeit with non-software products. It works because customers simply don't have the bandwidth to be loyal or to thoroughly research everybody they do business with.
Can I make this into an app is that possible I’ll give it out for free?
The iOS Imgur app hides all the porn though. You can’t search for it on the iOS app either.

The Tumblr app, on the other hand, was HOW you would view porn. If you tried to go a NSFW Tumblr in Safari it would ask you to log in, and then bounce you into the app.
It is possible to control both the number of key shares and the threshold required to unseal Vault (and now to do automatic unseal too), so I’m not certain this particular condition should be too much of a concern anymore. That said, considering as many scenarios as possible is definitely sensible!
Sorry, no, this isn't what I am looking for. Sure, I know I can get your generic grocery store experience at Safeway, or Lucky, or Nob Hill, or overpay at Whole Foods (now that they are owned by Amazon I don't shop there anyway), but where do you go to get some really fancy stuff? I have found some decent little places in San Francisco that have good cheese and charcuterie, or decent fresh bread, but nothing in the South Bay. In Chicago I knew I could always drop by Mariano's (heard that they went downhill lately, though) or Plum Market, or Pastoral. NYC obviously has quite a few places like Dean and Deluca. Austin has Central Market. What does South Bay have?
It's not the best device. Sometimes we get controller issues (3rd party). Some games don't support controllers at all. It doesn't feel like the full console experience at all.

It's basically just a remote desktop / streaming device.

I've began experimenting with "sousveillance" - using two commodity pieces of hardware:

- A GoPro Hero5 Session - which is a ~2 inch cube that shoots 4K: which I use for running, bicycling for transportation, and as a dash cam. The stabilization features works decently. ~$150.

- An iON SnapCam - https://www.amazon.com/iON-Camera-SnapCam-Wearable-Bluetooth...

If you can find a good way of attaching this to yourself, it's not too bad. Fairly* low profile - about 2 inches by half inch. It can be purchased for ~$25.

Some things I am working to overcome is really on the "cloud" and "streaming" sides, as I feel it defeats the purpose to stream or upload to policed platforms like YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, Twitch, etc.

Yes... their contracts are written such that they align the self-serving motivations of the employees with the fiscal obligations to shareholders. Internet points be-damned, i find it pretty hilarious that ppl took my initial comment as being supportive of what Google did rather than a condemnation of their coporate structure!
I face this situation everyday after joining my current company. It can be disturbing and counter productive. My manager is non technical, this is the root cause in my case. I am determined to either join a different team or company, My requirement is that my next manager needs to be technical (this helps because previously there was no such issues). Alternatively i keep hoping to join a startup where your work is transparent.
Yes, and the correct entrance too. Pan to the left to see the train station.
If Google is somehow reluctant to allow current claims to relitigate their claims, does that mean that their plan going forward is to somehow restrict the top of the funnel for claims, so that the ones that do get litigated aren't as explosive or damaging as the current claims in progress?

It seems weird to me that they wouldn't retroactively apply the policy unless there's something to hide within whatever currently claims they have. You would think that the exposure would be similar, unless they strategically plan on doing something different with the future claims, like either restricting or dealing with them much faster so that they don't reach this stage, etc.
In order to write to chain you need a key. If malicious activity is found, these keys can be banned from the network along with any products that they verify.

It's not that the system can't be exploited, it's introducing incentives to make it economically unviable to do so.
It absolutely furthers the goal of maximizing profit. Arbitration is faster, cheaper, and typically benefits the company. It benefits the company by:

- Giving opposing counsel less time to request information/dig through the requested information to find evidence against you because the timeline is expedited compared to a typical court trial.

- The company selects the arbitrator. How often does a company need to select an arbitrator? Not infrequently. How often does the employee seeking damages need to select an arbitrator? Almost never. If the arbitrator wants more future work who do you think they're more likely to side with? Do you think they're more likely to award damages against the company at the high end of the spectrum or the low end of the spectrum?

- Limited PR costs. How many "big" arbitration cases have you ever heard of in the press? Not many I would guess. How many "big" court cases have you heard of in the press? Bad PR can cost the company a lot in terms of the bottom line but also opportunity costs. It's difficult to measure but there are certainly some talented people who will think twice about joining the company after recent PR.
It's probably too late to do anything about this job. This person has already taken advantage of you and will continue to do so. Try to transfer out from under him to another group. If you can't, find a new job. This guy will continue to take credit for your work and will probably resist promoting you so he can continue to do so.
In the future, don't let this happen. As other posters have commented, you should have either spoken up at the meetings or complained to your old boss privately.
Many people have more social skill than technical skill. This situation will come again so learn your lessons.
If someone is asking about your status right before a meeting, that's a good sign he's going to try to take credit for your work. You can use it to your advantage, though. For example, keep something in your pocket. Don't tell him an important detail and then interject with it at the meeting. As an ULPT, tell him something that's wrong so he makes a fool of himself. (He'll accuse you of saying it, so tell him he misunderstood.) People like this are playing a game with you. Don't ignore it; you must play as well.
All the big software companies share databases and code that helps identify CP. I would be surprised if Tumblr wasn't using these resources, just as I would be surprised if reddit or imgur weren't. These resources make it relatively easy to do the bare minimum required here.

Copyright is not a form of cooperation. It is a threat. If you copy something without permission, you risk retaliation that is, ultimately, backed by violent force. It is hardly honest to call something "cooperation" under these circumstances.
The complex systems people used to discuss the problem of agents with internal models making models of other agents [1].

Similarly biologists are interested in how a living thing 'organises itself' in the world, maintains its structure and how its sensing and action is coupled to the environment[2].

This sounds like a similar approach, however fuzzy. Isn't it just saying 'can we look for principles that define how living creatures should organise the effort (energy/information) it makes sense to put into "recognising/ predicting/ acting in / being in" the world?'

Makes sense there could be some shared mechanisms, though I'd personally be surprised if they are universal, as differing life-forms seem suited for differing levels of environmental change. This is something lots of people have looked at (it's fun), and agree the Wired article doesn't give a clear answer.

1. Can't recall the paper, but think it was Doyne Farmer ( or Chris Langton?) arguing that if your agent had complexity N, then you should spend sqrt(N) complexity modelling another agent

2. e.g. Maturana & Varela, summary of autopoeisis here http://supergoodtech.com/tomquick/phd/autopoiesis.html but I'm sure lots of other biologists have good theories
Back in 1994, the IBM OS/400 range had a small enough model that we could even sit on it.

That really hurts most a lot of poor people who work odd hours.

I'm not sure what the solution is, but "that's really all there is to it" will affect very negatively hundreds of thousands of people in NYC.
Do you think a market that is easily manipulated would ever not be?
For every story like this, there's a hundred success stories. While real estate is hardly passive, I enjoy outperforming the stock market year after year with cash flow, leverage, and appreciation.

Strong lease agreements, property management, and vetting the right tenants will avoid 99% of these issues... but you can only do so much to prevent these issues from arising. I account for 3-5% vacancy every month as part of expenses and don't touch that money for this very reason.
Wow, the NYT lies to paint Trump in a bad light! Whooda thunk?

I definitely didn't think imposing tariffs was a good idea, but once it was explained that a lot of other countries (including Canada) impose a lot of tariffs on us, and that this action was an attempt to level the playing field, it suddenly seemed like it wasn't such a stupid idea after all, and it may actually be working to the benefit of the U.S.
With more heavy-handed government involvement, I'd suppose that China is decreasingly liberal-capitalist and increasingly state/crony-capitalist. Government-controlled huge semi-monopolies are known for comparatively lower efficiency.
Why cant an 'auditable chain of custody' be the only/primary utility?

I have heard people say that blockchain is the wrong tech for voting, as an example, well - OK - so, what then, is the 'correct' tech implementation for vote tracking?

Cant you have blockchain based code control even in an open source system to ensure no nefarious business goes on - based on how others have exclaimed they dont trust code for e-voting platforms... why cant this work.

So, what is the right tool to tackle such problems, and if we dont have a right-tool, then why do we not have a working group sanctioned and funded by the DARPAs of the world to solve things like this?

Claiming that China and South East Asia are "responsible" for all the plastic pollution they output is seriously misguided (no offense intended=) given that the region is "the plastic factory" for the whole world.

No, seriously, Safeway is hard to miss. Now a good grocery store that has a decent selection of cheese and fancy sausage and good fresh bread and some obscure ice cream (so no, Whole Foods doesn't count, let alone that hipster paradise of two buck chuck that is Trader Aldi) -- maybe there is something somewhere in South Bay where you could get it, but in several years I did not see anything like it.
Do you pay 7-10% taxes in Delaware C-Corp and then pay taxes on the income you earn as the Polish company?
This is absolutely brilliant.

In its current form, it seems more conceptual than practical, but I think an engaging and potentially fun-to-play ("fun"?) gaming product can come out of this.

Classify shortcuts into tiers/difficulty levels

1. baby (little to no real consequence)

2. teenager (slight potential embarrassment)

3. reckless (mortifying but not career- or relationship damaging)

4. daredevil (would require apologies and other face-saving actions to recover)

5. drunken (even with face-saving would inflict career- or -relationship damage)

6. destroyer (guaranteed social consequence; possibly career- or -relationship ending)

7. just no (immoral and illegal in many jurisdictions)

Let opponents create and join the game with real stakes (money, labor, product, reputation, etc.).

Make sure your EULA is ironclad in case any users litigate after having woken up with a massive hangover and finding the entire world angry at them.

UPDATE: The tiers should be additive, so level 4, for example, would include shortcuts from levels 1 through 3.

EDIT: formatting; swap categories 4 and 5; punctuation; number agreement; grammar; add UPDATE
A snarky implication delivered as a sidecar for a (very poor, IMO) "whatabout" does not make for tone policing.

To the same extent, the weight or mass of the plastic may not be relevant as well. The shape, density, and strength of the plastic would probably matter much more than the weight.

My brief analysis:

There are lawyers specialized in advising non-victims what to say for a payout. At times this greatly weighs on the conscience of the non-victim, leading to transcripts such as "I, uhn, uh, like, uh, uh, uh" (not in transcript: looks at her lawyer who is nodding and mouthing PRE-SURRED) " uh, like, uh, uh, uh " (shakes her head, but looks at her lawyer who is nodding vigorously, rubbing his finger and thumb together and mouthing something) "uh, like, uh." (Looks down, sighs, says the word "pressured" with resignation and while shaking her head and furrowing her brow, at which her lawyer leaps up triumphantly and says "No further questions!!"

This is an actual transcript I reviewed (except the non visual stuff I added.)

People respond to incentives.

Forced arbitration removes payoff incentives. So in theory it's better for everyone. (Except greedy lawyers telling their clients to lie.)

If done right.

Just my $0.02. By the way I reviewed the Kavanauh/Ford case in detail with feminists, and it is clear Kavanaugh has never once touched her. (The incentive structure in that case was political and possibly also monetary.) I can share that research if you like.

It’s not just Ford. Here is an article about GM. This is just the beginning of how they will monetize their product. Well it’s not a product anymore it will transition into a service as car ownership fades away.

What is the point of attacking such a minority? If the author claims it is a group of people so close to the "horizontal line", then why feel the need to negate their arguments? If the author is the one saying that strong opinions are rarely correct, why would he mention a different strong opinion that Linux users should embrace proprietary software with open arms? It seems as if the author never realized the true struggles that open source or FOSS (not the same thing, I know) movements had in the early 2000s, with corporations such as Microsoft being outright at war with them. The author only uses the example of his small inconsequential startup.
If you've been on Tumblr recently, you'll know that it's a pretty hands-off place. You get the general sense that Yahoo! fired everyone who worked at Tumblr and now it's just running on a server somewhere.
To add to your point, a plastic grocery bag weighs in under 6 grams. I don't want that in my body.
Thanks for a graceful reply to my comment, which was probably more strongly worded than it needed to be to get the point across.

I think we are currently seeing an attempt to swing things backward, which is why I think it's important to speak up against that.
It's still early so it's difficult, but better infrastructure and tooling is being created to enable more potential and also make it easier.
Cartels, terrorist cells, and other unsavory entities also use cash, but you don't see the DOJ prosecuting everyone who has accepted cash as payment.
A New 3D Printer Turns Plastic Waste into Tools Astronauts Need
Buying an 800mm2 Die along with 12GB GDDR6 Memory for $999 isn't really ridiculous. Try getting Intel or AMD to sell you an 800mm2 CPU Die for $999. As a matter of fact I thought it was reasonably priced in terms of Die Size and Transistors. Now whether those 800mm2 perform up to our expectation is an entirely different matter.

Is it a poem or you're just missing capital letters and punctuation?
I can answer the inverse of your question. If a site does not require

- cookies

- javascript

- authentication

then it is less likely to be tracking you. There are some clever tricks that do not require those three things, but that is getting into hypothetical and less practical territory.

If you are using NoScript / uBlock or uMatrix / Self destructing cookies or similar and not logging into any sites, then your odds of being tracked are fewer.

If you run a combination of BleachBit, CrapCleaner and BCWipe every time your browser closes, then your odds of being tracked are fewer.

If you have an application firewall that prevents applications from chatting with the internet without you explicitly initiating the communication, that also helps. They may contain user-identifiable strings and may share browser functions.

As for LastPass, I have always steered clear of sites like that. This may have changed, but for a long time, they required your vault decryption password to sync with their site. Unpopular opinion, I know.
Agreed. It’s also that there needs to be cultural changes in many cases, short term views are ingrained in many cultures and pointing out a fault in someone’s culture isn’t something people are open to no matter how dire the consequences are.
This is certain. It's impossible to have any kind of discussion on Reddit, outside of a few places like /r/conservative and /r/tuesday. It's one big echo chamber. Hacker News definitely is better than that.

That being said, 8 billion images is a whole other level of scale to what I've touched thus far, and I'm curious how you've approached this problem, because that's CERTAINLY beyond a manual threshold.

Never attribute to malice what can be explained by stupidity.

Generally, I don't see a lot of these "snakes" out in the real world, but I see a tremendous amount of misunderstandings, resentment, and righteous indignation. As I told the OP elsewhere, we're all the hero of our own stories, and everyone we disagree with is a villain. But ask the villain, and they think they're the hero. It's human nature. We don't want to admit that we might be wrong, that the people we disagree with might be right (or at least, the disagreement is not founded in malice).

So when I see situations like this, I rarely see snakes. I see misunderstandings that can be addressed with better communication and a good dose of humility.
1. Invest in pro-landlord states. I know plenty of investors that haven't even walked the properties they own and invest out of state without issues.
2. Interview potential tenants and verify income, rental history, references, credit check, background check, etc.
3. Have a strong lease agreement that outlines all of this.
4. Account for vacancies every month as an expense - 3-5% is pretty reasonable. And don't touch this money.
