> Also, if you solely receive and send bitcoin outside of an exchange, you can easily remain pseudo-anonymous in that anyone can see that wallet X has received Y bitcoins and send W bitcoins but without a person attached to the wallet, it's useless information.

If this thing were a big enough problem, the government could easily require you to provide a ledger of all the parties you've transacted with (Your wallet is doing book-keeping, how hard would it be for a legitimate user to enter a small memo for every transaction, anyways?)

Failure to provide a ledger, or for your ledger to fail to cross-correlate with that of your counterparty would, of course, imply that you're a criminal.

Unlike cash, bitcoin leaves a very obvious breadcrumb trail, that can, with a bit of legislature, be turned into an incredibly useful tool for LE.
I'm very skeptical that you're tracing Monero. Unless you've broken ed25519, that is. In which case, you have better things to do than crack minor cryptocurrency transactions...

My goal with the bread is to keep it from molding, which is does in a couple days sitting on the counter. Usually it isn't around long enough to freeze.
Are we talking about the same thing?

I'm referring to the plastic tubes on flexible bases that spring right back up when driven over, at low speed it's as if nothing happened. This was ~8 years ago, maybe Market is different today.

They were definitely standing afterwards like nothing happened, it's not like I rolled on them with my tires crushing them like the UPS guys do.
If they repackaged the app, gave it out for free, but changed the donation link how would that violate the license?
However, if I started a story "we were on the Golden Gate bridge", I've pinpointed the 3-dimensions of place/noun, and now the reader only has to pinpoint where on the "time-line" we are.

How does the reader trying to guess the date narrow the choice of verbs?

You might be on TGGBridge jogging, and the date is irrelevant. It seems like fixing the location to TGGBridge narrows the possible verbs, but it’s still a huge list - “we were on” means you could be doing anything people can do - photographing, touring, jogging, sketching, working as a bridge repair crew or structural engineer or a vehicle breakdown van or an Uber driver or protesting or meeting up in a well known location.

In English, “I was driving..” implies a vehicle, but “a car..” doesn’t imply you were driving it, or necessarily doing anything to/with it at all.
I also think that the object-oriented syntax matches my thinking process more closely: for example, I have an array of strings, and I want to convert them to numbers, pick only the odd ones then sum them rather than "I want to sum some things…things which I'm filtering by parity…which are actually strings I'm converting to integers".
I read their argument as, getting the codebase to the point at which running 2to3 completes the transformation. I personally remain unconvinced that that code wouldn't require the equivalent of a compatibility library anyway.

Thanks. Makes sense: The big push, e.g., the shock wave, is not all just directly from just the neutrinos from just the collapsing iron core. Thanks.
So we started our meetup group before meetup.com existed and rely more on eventbrite. If I had been running our events through meetup only and on this fee structure, I'd be paying $400+/month vs the $15 I was ok with paying before to offer a secondary listing of my event. I think the ceiling of fees people are willing to pay is closer to the $15 though.
> If you're a small enough fish you can assume that law enforcement won't bother to get back to you...

yet. If this becomes a problem, it will be fully automated. Why wouldn't it be? You're literally leaving a trail of every unlawful payment you've ever made and waving it around in front of police. You don't think they'll pay someone to automate de-anonymiziation and automatic suspicious transaction flagging?

At least with Visa they need a warrant.
Anonymity.

In large groups without clear individual accountability there will tend to hide bullies and those who practice bad faith. There will emerge other types of preventable violence that doesn't happen in real life face to face small groups of adults. It also allows for bots, state sponsored propaganda, and phishing.

Test Your App
You are forced to use either Apple or Android or a Windows PC to acces many services that are essential to modern life. Android would probably be the cheapest option. So if you do not want to use Google services you would have to pay premium. For many people it is not an option.

All the inking stuff (and also the PDF/EPUB stuff that old Edge was really good at) is in UWP (WinRT/XAML) controls. At the moment it looks like the Edgmium team is entirely avoiding UWP controls. It seems like they are avoiding them for maximum cross-platform ease, but it's still not hard to wonder why they don't just use XAML Islands for nice stuff like Inking on Windows 10+ at least.

Is that 22 times as much for just the downtown part or the whole thing?

I saw a documentary on the Dig and it was a lot more involved than I would have guessed. Route to the airport if I recall, and a tunnel under a river, and by 'under the river' I mean that pretty literally. The tunnel wasn't far below the riverbed due to other obstructions so they came in essentially from above to lay it. They filled most of an hour just talking about that section.

+1: similar experience and same book recommendation.

I've had one high-dose psychedelic session in each of the last three years and while the experiences themselves were sometimes difficult, the positive changes are hard to overstate. They seem mild at first, but the unshakable sense of self-worth, of purpose, and of belonging in the universe have become such strong foundations for all the positivity that I build above them that at this point I don't know how much of my beautiful life to attribute to my luck in getting into psychedelics in the first place.*

* ...in the right way, of course. The drugs themselves are a neutral technology like any other, and must be used in the right way in order to be helpful rather than harmful or merely novel.
You get around that by converting from btc to monero and then back again. Either through bisq or through xmr.to. "mixers" are obsolete now because it's a central point of failure.

Protectionism in economic sense are measures that inhibit international trade. Tariffs, selective subsidies and too restrictive immigration policies are good examples. Maybe in Australia they use the word differently, but in Europe this is what is meant by “protectionism”.

The function of unions is decidedly NOT to “protect the labour market”, but to provide organised market power to a group of labourers. A union fulfils its function even if it secures jobs for its members at the cost of say workers of another trade or those who are not unionised. Hence a union can satisfy its members but reduce the overall employment.

Also, I don’t understand. At first you claim that the 90s boom was due to protectionist policies. Now you claim that it’s because of personal computers. Which one is it then?
It’s okay :) I tried to be precise and I’m sorry it wasn’t close enough :(
I think I broke through. But I haven’t done DMT before or since, so I can’t be sure. I definitely went somewhere far away in my perception, I felt like I had travelled a long distance. I was alone and I didn’t note the time though, so it’s possible it only lasted a few second.
To add to your point of why violence might be less censored: It might also be, because it's just so much easier to engage in violence that it is to engage in sex. Like, I could go out in the street and punch anybody in the face (if I don't care about the consequences). This would be a lot harder if I'd try to go out and sex just anybody (silly example I know, but I think it drives home the point)
People making a business selling on Amazon.. If you left out the religion, would this be a story?

Is the point to get NYT and BuzzFeed clicks? Is it to get more attendance at the 'how you can get rich selling on Amazon' conferences? For better or worse, is it to show how a certain demographic is making a lot of money?

It will take a stroke of a pen for the US Government to require that exchanges do not accept any coins that have gone through a known tumbler after <certain date>

Almost all "religious" rules are made by men, with others blindly following them. This makes you more pious and "religious", if you do.

Did these people actually read the Bible? "So the two daughters get their farther drunk on wine, rape him, and have his children". Then the Bible moves on to the next tale, like "well, yeah, THAT just happened".
It might matter at the margins but it really doesn't make a difference for the vast majority of us.

For the source, see [1]. "The coverage gap– those living outside of areas covered by mobile broadband networks4–continues to decrease below the 1 billion threshold and now stands at 750 million people. Since 2014 the gap has more than halved, from 24% to 10% of the global population." It's actually 90% covered by 3G and 4G.

Regarding the costs, I am not sure where your 60k/sat is coming form. Currently, launch costs for SpaceX are in the millions (60 commercially, let's say 30 millions cost), and they are launching 60 satellites at a time, so at least 500k/sat.

I am not sure that they will be able to cut the launch costs by a factor of 10, even considering resusability, larger launch capacity, etc, etc.

Our budget for digital services is $0 at present. All available funds are already allocated.

The free, individual tier for Google Drive is currently being used, but we've run into some management issues with that. Some of our members aren't exactly tech-savvy and have issues with getting off of AOL (for example) or linking an AOL account for Google Drive access. Managing access when the board rotates is also an issue. And allowing everyone to use one login isn't an option - we absolutely have to track who is modifying what.
And the three words were?
How about instead of trying to create land, use the land we already have in a less wasteful manner? Most of the bay area is horizontal and refuses to build vertical. And most of bay area also refuses to participate in public transit reform. Just those two items can fix most of the problems with a much less economical and ecological cost.

I guess it depends on the term of the lease. You do get to sub-lease the land when you're done with it. The terms could even include an up-front cash payment that looks not dissimilar to a sale. This creates some value as a speculative investment, depending on how long the lease is going to last.
If you read Marshall Rosenberg's book on Nonviolent Communication, you will see that it is not this "self-help advice" that prevents us from being "good". There are many causes that are pervasive throughout our social structures, language use, customs, etc. that lead to the "default" forms of communication which everyone tends to use being inherently "violent" -- i.e. our common modes of interaction are not based in an acknowledgement of our own and others' goodness and of the love we deserve to be shown by each other.
That sounds like a really positive change in your life. I hope you continue to feel good.
If we're talking purely financial cost benefit considerations I'm not sure (and also curious) if that's actually true.

Seems like an unusually large percentage of posts on Hacker News are behind paywalls, some soft, some hard, some with a maximum free articles per time-unit. I peruse most of the top stories daily and can't read a good number of them making me have to just read the comments to get a sense of the article. It is seriously annoying. I wish there was some kind of flair or warning on these posts.

I have a personal notes app (Bear) where I journal about all types of things. Mostly todo lists, ideas, that kind of thing, but I also have a section dedicated to people I meet. I don't always make a note but sometimes I do. I rarely look back at these notes but I think it helps me remember details about them. And sometimes I do look back at the notes.

I have sections for the people I met through running (different run clubs, etc), work, etc.
The fact that state-enforced age verification was within the overton window in the UK is unfathomable. All age restrictions are toxic and lead to a culture where parents and children mutually distrust each other. And the state wants to enforce them!

No gods, no masters.
It reminds me of yesterday's story about states going after decades old public assistance overpayments. Somebody at a firm like Deloitte will figure out how to automate it and sell it as a service to law enforcement.

It's not illegal in the U.S. to have a porn site or sexually explicit site without an RTA header. There's no legal remedy available in the U.S. to the U.K. government against a site that intentionally decides not to use this header, nor against people providing infrastructure to that site. DNS registrars, registries, and ICANN don't require it either.
I'm not following your point. The whole reason Starlink is being launched is for home broadband. Every cell provider in existence has ridiculously low caps - starlink is supposed to be uncapped. You're the guy telling someone he doesn't need a dump truck for his landscape business because we have public buses.
I still consider this model the apex of trackball design, and I have regretted selling mine for over a decade. The way it allows the use of both thumb and index fingers for pointer control is something I haven't seen replicated elsewhere.
I think there’s something about knowing you need to care for a large family (e.g. a member of a religion that values having lots of kids) that is motivating for entrepreneurs in a way I don’t always hear about e.g. entrepreneurial tendencies among Hasidic Jews and Mormons
Will monero just be consider a money laundering scheme by the FBI in the future?

Why use monero unless you wanted to hide your transactions? Hiding your transactions is literally illegal in the USA (its called money laundering).

Presumably, the FBI will be able to automatically determine if your BTC came from a Monero exchange.
It's allowed because Play Store in-app billing is only required for digital goods & services fulfilled by the app, not physical goods & services fulfilled outside your device. Uber isn't selling you app functionality, they're selling you the physical service of transportation, so they're exempt.

Quote from policy [1]:

Developers offering products within another category of app downloaded on Google Play must use Google Play In-app Billing as the method of payment, except for the following cases:

- Payment is solely for physical products

- Payment is for digital content that may be consumed outside of the app itself (e.g. songs that can be played on other music players).

Very soon, converting your BTC to monero will flag your account as high risk.
In short, it basically was. ATT and Vz are in bed with the Republicans, historically; and, also historically, ATT and Vz do not fund Democrat elections except in strongly blue states where they need to get the usual bullshit going.

ATT and Vz in the cell phone arena need only two major names, and basically set Sprint up to fail in a way that it exists as a zombie company and allows them to pass regulatory requirements by claiming they're a viable alternative (Sprint has not been one for like, oh, 5+ years).

So, T-Mobile being an actual contender for the #1 network spot in the country fucks up their shareholders and most of the Republican party: ATT and Vz need a party in their pocket to make sure companies cannot fairly compete.

As much as I hate the Democrats, they aren't as corrupt as the telecom/Republican relationship is.
Eggs have a protective layer on them. This is handy because it stops bad stuff getting into the eggs and killing the embryo.

In the US the farming practices result in eggs which are dirty. So they need to be washed. This washing damaged the protective layer, which means bad stuff can now get into the egg.

In Europe the farming practices are stricter which results in eggs which are clean enough not to need washing. The protective layer remains intact and the eggs can be stored at room temperature.

You remain free to store your eggs in the fridge. I know some people who do this to ensure consistent boiling times - the fridge temperature is less variable than room temperature.
Yes, you are right in that unreliability is a separate but related problem.

Maybe I should have phrased it differently. The main issue we have the people who are not convinced of a source regardless of reliability. And even further, questioning reliability has become a strategy for dismissing an unfavourable source and has been weaponised. This is evident when people take the example of a single error made by a source that they believe are biased against them while dismissing all of the errors and falsehoods from source that they believe favour them.

This win-at-all-cost attitude in politics is killing any real discourse and along with it goes decency in public life. Politics is no longer about good governance, but instead another activity that people participate in to satisfy their tribal urges.
ah got it, thanks for the information
Trying hard to keep this neutral:

Republicans in recent years have been focused on removing barriers to companies. The focus to decide if mega mergers are cool is "can price to consumers lower?" Thus, they are expected to support many mergers.

Democrats are more interested in "can this create pressure/inertia that isnt based on value to consumers". (Or _will_ consumers benefit, including long term) Given that companies are rarely merging to drop consumer price without strengthening their industry power, Dems are expected to oppose many mergers.

Because both sides are acting on potential, and both sides are erring on the side they value more (business free to innovate to create consumer vs not hurting existing consumer value), they are opposed with no "clearly correct" answer.
Because implementation and programming language are not the same thing?

Speaking of which, better catch up on the C++ interpreters and JIT related talks from CppCon 2019.
