Same here. I got a gift card, went to the site to check its value, didn't get a cookie banner but they still hired this third party from the other side of the planet to try and identify which human I am, allegedly the only way to tell whether I'm human (y'know, a 21 digit account number isn't proof enough). The third party decided I'm not. Wanted to contact customer support, guess what? Form broken. Turned of tracking protection, ad blocker, etc. No dice. Tried a second browser, same issue. Called the next day and finally got to the amount... Of course they couldn't reproduct the ReCAPTCHA issue and the form didn't give them an Internal Server Error either. Must be me.

If this were about not being able to see cat pictures, alright, but this is about accessing money that I'm supposed to own. This is so backwards to me.
Most unelected bureaucrats only have a job at the whims of elected representatives. Your vote for the bureaucrats, via proxy of your representative.

I'm not sure why people have a hard time grasping this concept, when they grasp the concept of representative democracy (Where you vote for new legislature, or for supreme court appointments, or for executive actions, via proxy of voting for a representative of congress, or a president.)

I can only assume that it's a defense mechanism, where you can blame the boogieman of the deep state when the candidate you voted for does not deliver us to a land of milk and honey, and turns out to be an all-around shitty human being.
Where exactly are they getting a hold of bamboolib, there is nothing in the github, and as far as anyone has seen, there hasn't been any development done?
OK, I've taken out the bit that said it was worse.

It broke the site guidelines by being ideological flamebait. Comments like this are predictable and tedious, and so are the flamewars they feed.

The study explicitly states, that the problem went away for reddit, but this does not proof that the hate went away, it maybe just left reddit for another platform.
I thought it was repetition of the verb, i.e. I agree with you, but only if the question was 'do you want ...'.

I think it's the same in Mandarin, but the question structure also includes both forms, e.g. 'this cake you want not want?'--'want'.
Agreed; a determined programmer could solve almost any Captcha given sufficient time and resources.

But we are not trying to create an unsolvable Captcha. For those websites that need something good enough to deter generic bots while not compromising privacy of their users, this might be a good enough alternative to reCaptcha.

Imagine a docker image which just works with out-of-the-box generators. Those who need more variety could create a custom generator with Javascript and drop it into a docker volume.
Self-driving cars were right around the corner in the 1980s, too. There was an AI conference shortly before the last AI Winter where this was remarked upon. I'm kicking myself for not saving the transcript; self-driving cars, worries of regular people losing their jobs, clueless reporters grossly inflating regular people's expectations, etc.

Now you have to know that 1 / 2+5 is still (1/2) + 5.

The S-exp can be shortened in anything calling itself a Lisp, using the unary reciprocal: (+ (/ 2) 5).

Math papers are full of obscure notations; they should standardize on s-exps. Then just a straightforward dictionary of symbols would be needed to look up a notation.

Math notation is at least 2D: it makes good use of spatial structures to reduce ambiguity. For instance, instead of inventing some crazy ternary operator, mathematicians will just arrange three arguments spatially around a symbol. The space subdivides recursively, so elements end up being positionally determined, somewhat like what S-exps do in 1D.

I'm on the record here defending /r/The_Donald. I'm even on the record saying I didn't think it should be quarantined and that I don't think it should be banned in the future. It takes a lot for me to wonder if something actually should be censored. I certainly wouldn't have been on the side of censoring Howard Stern.

Radicalizing terrorists to such an extent that they actually go through with it -- multiple times -- is extreme enough to make me wonder.

The El Paso shooter's manifesto was posted on 8chan for a reason. The manifesto was written specifically for other potential shooters. It contains tips and advice. It explains the shooter's choice of gear and that he needed to use heat-resistant gloves because one of the guns he used was prone to overheating if fired rapidly. It encourages potential shooters to avoid heavily guarded areas and to avoid engaging with security personnel regardless of how confident they are.

Throughout 8chan, I saw many posts subscribing to the general theory that racial violence has been accepted throughout most of human history and the only people who disapprove constitute a tiny little blip on the grand tapestry. The whole point of this ideology was to encourage people to commit acts of violence by indoctrinating them into the belief system that all their ancestors would not only have approved but would have done it themselves.

Not only does it tell you what everything means, but it visually displays it in a way that just makes sense.
Isn’t it up to the people to decide how much daylight they think there is between #1 and #2? When the US topples foreign dictators, is that justified by saying we’re doing it for the good of their people, as distinguished from their government?

It’s notable that in weeks of democratic debates hitting all sorts of issues, I don’t think I’ve heard anyone get traction by talking about surveillance.
Even better: just show the last logins (both successful and failed). This way it also gives you a positive feel of security, because you can also see if e.g. a family member logged in etc.

We're not currently providing financial advice. We're purely focused on education—helping people understand their equity. We anticipate this will change in the future (and when that happens we will seek RIA certification).

Do you think that this is the root cause of violent islamic extremists as well?
oh, I did not know. It's not the nazis were special, that was the first take down that I was aware of - so to me that take down was the crack in the damn that would make it so all the other groups around the world could now point fingers and say take down 'xyz' and 'abc' because you can do it, that proves that you can.
I am genuinely upset over this. And that is after CEO pinky swears he will not do it in the future. It will be that much easier to do it now that there is a precedent. I doubt he does not know it.

I think I'm on the same boat as you on this one; I tend to have a pretty libertarian view on free speech, but lately the bizarre rise of hyper-radical idiots on places like 8chan (and even YouTube to a lesser extent) has really made me question these things.

It's very easy to shout the mantra of "Free speech!!! OMG!!!" but we gain nothing by acting like there aren't natural consequences to it. By having a liberal free-speech system, you are going to expose glitches in the "marketplace of ideas", and demagogues and radicals are going to be able to exploit it.

It might still be worth it (I haven't made up my mind yet on where we draw the line in censorship).
That is entirely my point. Thank you.

On the other hand, we're already in cages. The difference is that in modern society, nobody realizes they are caged.

That makes all the difference.

I've found that breaks things in subtle ways. I have a Plex server connected to my terrestrial antenna to watch TV and the TV guide was showing everything an hour out and I couldn't not for the life of me work out why. Turns out that "privacy.resistFingerprinting" makes your JS timezone UTC, whereas I'm BST.

I'm not sure why they bother, since I'd find it more suspicious if say someone is coming from a Russian IP address but has UTC set and not a Russian timezone...
The 2A doesn’t protect the use of arms against the government, and I don’t think I’ve ever heard a 2A advocate suggest that. The point is to prevent the government from disarming the populace before such action might be required.
What you say is reasonable, and is not free speech absolutist. This isn't a No True Scotsman sort of thing. There are people on this very forum who reject out of hand any question that 8chan should be censored.

This is not a problem. If cryptocurrencies become widely used and the associated business accumulate significant market value, major market indices will rebalance in such a way to include cryptocurrency businesses and the passive index investor will be fine.

In fact, it doesn't matter if the future is in crypto, plastic or tulips; equity index investors will be fine.

> Again, this is that "laws work like computer code" thinking

No, it's not.

Having done a political science degree with significant coursework in law and judicial politics, and gone back later and done a couple years of law school while working as a programmer before deciding that the cost/benefit of a license to practice law wasn't really worth it, I'm somewhat familiar with the differences between law and computer code.

> Euros vary in USD value, and take a process to convert to/from USD just like Bitcoin does.

That's, ironically, the “law works like computer code” thinking you were just complaining about. While there are certainly laws focussed on USD and equivalents vs every other asset imaginable, there are lots of laws about money more generally, and a lot of established precedent about what is and is not money, and, perhaps more critically, about how terms which are ambiguous in contracts (perhaps because subject matter to which they are being applied wasn't well known when they were drafted) are applied between parties with unequal power over drafting of th contract.

> Governments are not going to ban banks from treating BTC transactions as cash advances.

Governments aren't going tonban banks from applying the same didadvantageous conditions applied to cash advances to any transactions they want, but those with decent consumer protection laws may also not let them do so arbitrarily after the fact without clear notice in contracts of the kinds of transactions to which those terms will be applied, just because of some loose analogy between the subject of a term in a contract and product class to which it would not generally have been understood to apply by most people agreeing to the contract.
Yes naturally people of color, and LGBT folk can't ascribe to an ideology. Naah .. that's nonsense. They're immune.

Each group will have its own ideologues, its own agenda.
Right, there's an asymptote that caps the maximum amount of money in a system based on some initial M1 and a reserve fraction. But in practice that doesn't get hit because not all money is lent, so per upthread I think it's perfectly reasonable to say that "banks create money" in the abstract.
It explicitly does. But it doesent always even infer harm. I can swing my arms violently, and not hurt anyone.

Is the Raleigh thing your personal experience, or was that just an anecdote with Raleigh as stand-in for "place that's not SV or NYC and thus has no business operating startups"?

Because I live in Raleigh, and there are still a ton of stupid little startups occupying the office space (except now they're all at one of 10 different co-working spots). To be kind to my fellow Raleighites, there are one or two with potential too. Still almost no legit VC funding in the area, but people didn't stop trying. Too many college kids around who don't know any better.
