Good luck convincing anyone that listening to stories will drastically alter a person's neurology to the point of making them go from hyper-aggressive to docile. Until we improve our cognitive reforming abilities, violent criminals need to be segregated from the rest of the population. I do agree, though, that the vindictive aspect of "justice" is primative.
I don't know if they should accept it but realistically vast majority of companies don't have any valuable secrets. Maybe payroll data and perhaps the client list would be somewhat sensitive. Still difficult to act on for anything but price discrimination.
could it be, that the actual hack is the following:

A sends money to B

fee goes to C

you can aim the fee going to C by only sharing the transaction with C and just wait till C gets the block

So far just creative way to send money from A to C - but what if B says the cover the fee (or just implemented it that way) - then B would provide a service/money to A thinking it got the amount from the fee.

I'm however not aware of a B that is sensitive to this kind of attack - but there might be a smart contract out there...

They are supposedly aimed at Google and Facebook but have enough range to burn most of other services in the European Internet in the process.
There are many such programs, although wolves are controversial.

Hypocritical seems a bit strong though. The extinctions in europe happened a long time ago, those people are dead. Conservation may stand in the way of a particular guy's dinner but it's not like shooting all the gorillas is the key to Uganda getting to first-world living standards -- the advice that they are worth more alive than dead is probably sound.
highp is technically specified as only min float16, right? (Though given the perf cost of going for a larger float it seems unlikely any implementation will?)

Last time I spoke to gw there were fair differences in WebRender down to rounding error between different GPUs (and drivers, IIRC), though almost certainly you'll know better the situation nowadays (and wrt Pathfinder).

What you are describing are diverse cities, not california as a whole. NY is even more diverse than than california if you just pick a diverse city and extrapolate that to the entire state.

If you want global, it doesn't get any more global than NYC. Not sure why you are pretending california or LA is special. The only thing california has going for it is great weather and constant flow of chinese money and a tech bubble propping it up. The east coast has pockets of diverse cities and suburbs as well. No different than california.
Hey Chris, thanks for taking a look. While the service is likely more useful to a business that is frequently collecting sensitive docs (financial, legal, etc), I'm working to make the product more useful for consumers who only have the occasional need (tax time is coming up soon). The idea is you'll be able to register pipefile.com/chris and "pipe" uploads directly to your dropbox or other cloud provider. That way you can set it up and just share the static link with your accountant, lawyer, etc.

Re: Pipe File vs Pipefile, all my legal docs are Pipefile but branding is a bit inconsistent. I like the look of Pipe File but will likely change it for consistency sake.
You've missed the whole point of the carbon payment system.

The whole point is that it isn't realistic to assume that it's possible to quit oil overnight, buy it's very possible to mitigate its effect by converting some externalities to a concrete price tag and thus creating incentives to abandon the use of at least some fossil fuels and to compensate those who contribute to invert the tendency.
Went to a talk about this (among other things). Short answer: They size the structural members making an allowance on depth from the surface for char (zero strength) and a further depth of affected material assumed to be weakened. The unaffected wood inside is what supports the structure.

What a long winded article.

I don't really understand the fascination/surprise at wework and similar. It's just office space, packaged in a way that suits a few underserved markets.

Flexibility is valuable, and was previously underavailable. It also turned out that a lot of the "work-from-home" people would like office space, if it's nice and they can afford it.

What is so surprising or notable here? A slightly quirky aesthetic? Espresso?

What My First Medal Taught Me about Kaggle
If inferring location works well enough in enough cases (for the purposes of the inferrer), the fact that it is not completely accurate or reliable is moot.
My point is that we shouldn't base permissions dialogs on what the app intends to do with the data, but what potential risk is introduced with the app having that data.

I could make an app that logs every phone call I make along with it's duration so it can recommend friends for me. I wouldn't expect that app's permissions dialog to read "Allow app to recommend friends to you".

Getting into the technical details doesn't work for average users, especially for cases like this where the risk isn't obvious - non-technical people will almost certainly not know that revealing local SSIDs reveals your location.

This is sad and disgusting, our speech is being limited completely unfairly and without our consent and we're being told that it's a good thing.

The fact that they're trying to package it as some sort of well-deserved revenge against silicon valley big tech is just tasteless. The EU's big gripe against these companies is their tax situation, if they really wanted to change that then they'd be looking into a unified approach to taxing companies within the EU borders, not hitting the final nail into the coffin of fair use in Europe.

I really envy the US for its constitution sometimes.
Thank you!

I've just tried it out, works great. I'm not using quite as strict a filter as you are, basically Oath sites, medium and known paywalled sites. I will add to it as I go :)
Thank you so much for posting that video. I watched it a long time ago and have been wanting to revisit it, but was never able to find it again.
If you're the fire department, and you're moving them around regularly (as opposed to a fixed installation), the weight advantage of aluminum over steel is probably compelling. Wooden ladders are heavier than aluminum, which is part of why you no longer see them for sale at most stores, but they're still lighter than steel.
It is often like this in the ones I've seen.

Depends on the area the WeWork is based in, and how oversubscribed it is.
Thanks! That's the goal of this project. Let me know if there's more that can be done.
Sounds like a good way to create an opening for a WeWork competitor to swoop in and eat their lunch. Companies get a whiff of that kind of level of tech monitoring even being a possibility and any CSO will have them scrambling for the door.

Perhaps I am being harsh on Big G here. But is there a better way to do this? Could an app request a list of all BT/WiFi devices starting with the first few digits of a MAC?

In this case, the remote wants to know if it is near the receiver. It doesn't want to search all devices - just to know if it is near a specific group.
As a textbook, I suggest Investment Science by Leunberger. It's concise and has great coverage, and you can just keep referencing it over time.

As an initial focus, I suggest understanding discrete time models well. If you've got some LA and calculus then I'd suggest just hoping into Introduction to Mathematical Finance by Pliska. It's concise, zero filler, but really clear.
In my experience, yes. As an individual at the lowest price point you're paying $450 a month to sit a table in a cafeteria.
Thank you for this post. Amazing what one can learn from Kaggle. I have been trying to get something on Kaggle and haven't been able to yet. Maybe next time I will
> Isn't the difference here that Federal courts can't create law, only rule on constitutional matters.

Federal courts aren't limited to ruling on Constitutional issues—cases that are purely state law can be in federal court jurisdiction, e.g., because of diversity of citizenship of the parties, and any federal law issue, not just an issue of the Constitution, also qualifies a case for federal court; and they create law just like any other courts (only with broader geographical impact, because it's federal law.)
It also involves rebalancing the weights of each stock to account for stock splits, dividends, and change in market capitalization or the float number (the amount of shares on the public markets).
I think you're answering a different question than was asked. When did it become acceptable to politely suggest a different personal choice? Since always, as you say. When did it become acceptable to disrespect them for a personal choice? Pretty recently, and should have been never. That includes the personal choice to rationalize that kind of condescending priggishness online. What kind of person gets their jollies that way? Those who live by the sword, and all that. Maybe it would be better if we could all express the same ideas in more respectful and collaborative ways, at least to start with.

Thanks, it's an interesting read.

Here's the link to the book - http://digital.library.upenn.edu/women/bly/world/world.html

And here's the dialogue they had: """
"Has M. Verne ever been to America?" I asked.

"Yes, once;" the answer came translated to me. "For a few days only, during which time I saw Niagara. I have always longed to return, but the state of my health prevents my taking any long journeys. I try to keep a knowledge of everything that is going on in America and greatly appreciate the hundreds of letters I receive yearly from Americans who read my books. There is one man in California who has been writing to me for years. He writes all the news about his family and home and country as if I were a friend and yet we have never met. He has urged me to come to America as his guest. I know of nothing that I long to do more than to see your land from New York to San Francisco."

"How did you get the idea for your novel, 'Around the World in Eighty Days?'" I asked.

"I got it from a newspaper," was his reply. "I took up a copy of Le Siécle one morning, and found in it a discussion and some calculations showing that the journey around the world might be done in eighty days. The idea pleased me, and while thinking it over it struck me that in their calculations they had not called into account the difference in the meridians and I thought what a denouement such a thing would make in a novel, so I went to work to write one. Had it not been for the denouement I don't think that I should ever have written the book."

"I used to keep a yacht, and then I traveled all over the world studying localities; then I wrote from actual observation. Now, since my health confines me to my home, I am forced to read up descriptions and geographies."

M. Verne asked me what my line of travel was to be, and I was very happy to speak one thing that he could understand, so I told him.

"My line of travel is from New York to London, then Calais, Brindisi, Port Said, Ismailia, Suez, Aden, Colombo, Penang, Singapore, Hong Kong, Yokohama, San Francisco, New York."

"Why do you not go to Bombay as my hero Phileas Fogg did?" M. Verne asked.

"Because I am more anxious to save time than a young widow," I answered.

"You may save a young widower before you return," M. Verne said with a smile.

I smiled with a superior knowledge, as women, fancy free, always will at such insinuations.

I looked at the watch on my wrist and saw that my time was getting short. There was only one train that I could take from here to Calais, and if I missed it I might just as well return to New York by the way I came, for the loss of that train meant one week's delay.

"If M. Verne would not consider it impertinent I should like to see his study before I go," I said at last.

...

They clinked their glasses with wine, and wished me "God speed."

"If you do it in seventy-nine days, I shall applaud with both hands," Jules Verne said, and then I knew he doubted the possibility of my doing it in seventy-five, as I had promised. In compliment to me, he endeavored to speak to me in English, and did succeed in saying, as his glass tipped mine:

"Good luck, Nellie Bly."

Exploitation from Malicious PCI Express Peripherals
It just drives home the reality that we live in a police state where the government is far from a disinterested party--there is a power or profit angle to lording over the peasants. There always has been. Part of the Enlightenment was the concept of individual rights. We have been suckered into giving up most of them. There's always a reasonable sounding justification for everything government wants to do. But it's always a one-down relationship with government, always.
Huh? If anything, the reform codifies systems like Content ID and makes it horribly expensive to compete with Google and Facebook. And all that to cater to US copyright industry - a fine example of EU shooting itself in the foot.
Whats the modern word for "modern"?
I have been searching for this but couldn't find any answer, let's say a company has a generic public platform where people can upload text, images, videos, audio, ... how are they supposed to be able to check for copyright infringment against every single upload?

I know that Youtube has its own content id system, but for anyone without YT's resouces, is ther any 3rd party service to which you can pass content and get back a yes/no answer to "anyone copyrighted this thing?", if yes, what are the costs? the effectiveness?
four or five sig figs of internal pedometer step counts is rubbed up against four or so sig figs of phone-gathered GPS distance data after formal activities in the fitbit app to fine tune your stride length. In my case my stride length is about 75.821 cm per step. Then it can use that calculated stride length to estimate distances when not doing official activities. As if my hiking boots are identical to five sig figs to my urban walking shoes or my sandals, LOL. Well, in theory, at least, its a good idea.

Fitbit UI, weirdly, explains what its doing but refuses to provide the actual numeric result.

To some extent its overkill... from my experience orienteering as a civilian and in the military, your average stride length might vary up to 5% based on conditions. You can't use dead reckoning alone to do land nav on foot for long distances, you need a map (or GPS). Which I guess is kinda the point of the fitbit needing GPS access. Doing theoretical calculations to 4 sig figs means at least on average its not too far off, and frankly most athletes use the same boring path every day with the same shoes etc so averaged track data is going to be more accurate than a wilderness land nav course anyway.

I have not decompiled the fitbit code or done anything illegal but IF I were to implement this I'd include GPS/map based ground slope data as a correction factor because I know that has a major impact on stride length. I have no idea if fitbit does that, but they should.
That's a neat and well executed product. Kudos.
Thank you for the suggestion. I'll work on that today.
IMO, the higher barrier to entry is a benefit to this site. Features that would lower friction increase content dilution. From what I understand, this site is not trying to become Reddit.
Ask HN: How to Balance Between Give Advice to Team Member and Getting Work Done
I’m senior full stack developer working in startup and got responsibility to be product owner. my job is planning and try to get product launch on time. In my team now we have 2 member(we have CTO who response another project). It me and junior frontend who just graduate in few month. we have a lot of work to do and timeline is short compare to our resources. If I need to launch product on time I need to only coding but my junior keep asking when he got stuck. some time my CTO help pair programming with him which is help me to focusing on my task but when CTO going outside my junior come at me again. That leading to my work going very slow. I need to be a good team lead to give advice to team member while can launch product on time without spending time outside working hours. How can I balance that.

The article doesn't have enough detail to conclude whether "admonished" meant politely or with disrespect.
The codes in question are more about requiring builders to do a better job fastening the wood to the other pieces of wood than they are about the strength of the roof itself.

Building codes in hurricane prone areas basically require you use all manner of various stamped steel plates and hangers to hold things together to compensate for the fact that nails tend to rip out of things if you pull in the right direction.
Thanks to how difficult GPS signals can be indoors, they can be better than some other geolocation mechanisms.

You're rehashing a very old, very tired argument.

I could respond by explaining that HFT facilitates liquidity and price discovery, making trading cheaper overall. I could also counter that adtech isn't any better than fintech, or that it's a fallacy to suppose every intelligent person needs to maximize their ethical production in a capitalist society.

But I'm not going to engage in any of those rebuttals. Instead, why don't you take a look at the massive charitable work bankrolled and empowered by James Simons and David Shaw? Take a moment to read through the organizational mandates and scope of research for the Simons Foundation and DE Shaw Research (DESRES). These two men have poured billions of dollars from their personal wealth into making the world a better place in a variety of ways. Both of them explicitly cite cancer research as a core focus - what do you consider more ethical than that?

While we're at it, let's circle back to your specific example. You're talking about sending rockets into space - that's great! I bet you're a fan of Elon Musk and SpaceX then? Are you aware that Elon Musk made his first fortune through PayPal? Do you consider payment processing to be a virtuous industry? Was Musk maximizing his ethical potential by working on PayPal?

> you can aim the fee going to C by only sharing the transaction with C and just wait till C gets the block

If that's technically possible then that seems to be an easy way to launder money. You should probably split up your transaction and send your coins in a circle to obfuscate it.
The final vote hasn't happened yet as stated in the article. If you're an EU citizen there's still time to contact your representatives to ensure they understand the many issues with Article 11 (the link tax, though now it is now more akin to a publisher controlled fee for showing snippets of articles) and Article 13 (the copyright upload filter).

I've already e-mailed my representatives and have gotten responses stating that they will not support Article 11 or Article 13 in the upcoming vote (and they have in previous votes voted against this reform).
> how are they supposed to be able to check for copyright infringment against every single upload?

They aren't. You can't. I'm not sure if this is an oversight, or deliberate -- the law was written by lots of people, so the truth is probably in-between -- but your best bet is to avoid the EU, or stick to major hosting providers like YouTube.
Those were not civil actions for civilly minded people. Of course, people loathe each other behind closed doors and the less respectable people bring it out in public. Let me ask you this, would such an interaction as described in the OP comment happen in Japan? They seem to understand the importance of respect.

Let’s be optimistic.

This will severely impact social media. It will be censored like never before, and attacking opponents by “reporting” their posts will be more effective than ever. Trolls will have a EU-sanctioned field-day.

And what real users are going to bother staying on a platform like that?

Maybe this will revitalize hosting of personal websites where there’s no “platform” to censor your free speech?
Making markets efficient helps everybody, and historically, has probably been the biggest driver in making earth a better place.

Let’s take HFT for example. HFT firms are the reason that Mom and Pop investors can get efficient execution on the public markets. Compared to the inefficient markets that existed before, they have generated many many billions of dollars to pension funds, mutual funds, and individual investors.

I don’t think it’s possible to overestimate the positive effect efficient markets have had on everyone’s lives, from the richest to the poorest.

The world isn’t a zero-sum game, and markets aren’t either, everyone profits from a good free market.
Yes. This is an article in want of an editor. "I went to an office and there was coffee. A person called X runs the office. X is a singer blah blah blah."

If the article touches anything like 'class' it doesn't touch it in the first couple of thousand words.
The question isn't whether a licensing scheme like this is possible. It's not like YouTube prevents people from attaching whatever license they want to their work. But these videos are being ripped and uploaded elsewhere today, so the idea that people who don't want their work shared elsewhere could opt out is dubious.

My question is: in the world that exists today, are people on PeerTube crediting creators of content they rip, and are those creators being paid in the same way that YouTube would pay them?
