A typical solution to this is to store the data outside of the blockchain and then checkpoint a hash of the data snapshot into the blockchain at regular intervals.

This provides tamper resistance to the data.

Incentivizing users or organizations to store large amounts of data is still a problem of course.
Not to mention spam connection requests.

"Less cash but not cashless" is the motto of those northern european countries.

Both the UK and the Netherlands for instance have issue reports[1][2] to ensure cash does not go away as it serves a vital purpose for protected classes.

Decentralised implies distributed (although the inverse is not true - one can have a distributed yet centralised model).
It's no such thing. As a shareholder I am happy for companies to buy back shares and thereby increase the value of the remaining shares.
You're correct but the difficulty is finding an alternative. Training employees who are then free to take their skills to another company that didn't bother with training gives that company the ability to lure workers away with higher salaries. There is a bit of tragedy of the commons in the skilled labor pool.
From the article:

>The first option is to buy the Windows 10 upgrade. The second option is to purchase an Office 365 subscription, which comes with a Windows 10 upgrade included.

I am not sure if this still works so I would not use this in a business environment without consulting a Windows licensing expert. Also someone who deals with licensing on Windows devices could probably clarify why this option shouldn't be done.

With all that said, as of 2 months ago I ran the windows 10 media creation tool on a personal computer with Windows 7 Pro installed. This allowed me to upgraded the PC to windows 10 and retain all apps/personal files for free. Now the computer has Windows 10 Pro, and the license activated and appears valid.

I do not want to advocate doing something illegal or get someone in licensing problems, I just wanted to make people aware that running the Media Creation tool on a PC with a valid Win 7 install will upgrade it to Windows 10 and appear valid/activated when finished.
Yes, very much so. Ultrasound in medicine is very cool technology. Obviously many of us have experience with ultrasound imaging, which has revolutionized medicine in a number of ways. But we also learned that if you crank up the amplitude and frequency, you can heat the tissue. Our research group was one of several that figured out that you can use MRI-based thermometry to measure that heating, and use it as the input to your control loop. Then, it's a matter of adjusting the frequency, amplitude, and positioning (i.e. in this case, rotation) to "paint" your heat pattern.

Thus, at least at our site, it was used to develop treatments for uterine fibroids, some types of breast cancer, and some types of brain cancer (using transcranial ultrasound, which is much harder to do because you have to go through bone and adjust for that medium). Generally, areas that you can reach from the skin and/or with a special probe, are potential treatment targets.

Lung cancers are hard to treat with ultrasound, for a few reasons. The biggest is that it moves, which makes it hell for the MRI and system as a whole to keep up without hitting unwanted areas. The other is that ultrasound doesn't travel well through air. For ultrasound ablation to work, you need a good conduction interface. That's why ultrasound technicians slather that clear gel on you when they're imaging you. It's possible to do in the lungs, just exceedingly difficult. It's unlikely that someone will commercialize something there.

The liver and kidneys won't be targeted either because the only way to reach them is by performing an incision. You might as well use other techniques like laparoscopy.
I find LinkedIn reasonably useful as a professional Rolodex. I've never fleshed out a resume on it and I mostly just ignore emails that come through it. But, then, I haven't gotten a job other than directly through personal contacts in decades.

ADDED: To your broader points, a resume (especially for experienced people) has long been one of those things that you need to have and that people may use to roughly gauge potential fit. But very few people are making decisions based on only a resume, especially for senior positions. And portfolios, in whatever form, have always tended to trump resumes in certain fields. (Which can admittedly be problematic in software because some have portfolios they can share and other, potentially equally skilled developers, do not.)

Because there has to be one giant tech company that everyone hates and Microsoft lost interest in the position over 5 years ago.
OK, but that has nothing to do with whether or not the people selling their stock back pay taxes on it.
Yep, now that we have lots of version controls histories publically available there is no excuse for this.
That's just a description of the company, probably copy-pasted from some stock market site.

When someone says "how they built an empire" I expect to read their history and modus operandi.
There's probably a risk there of Facebook being perceived as doing something too "niche", when their pitch has always been to be everything to everyone.

In any case, given Facebook's long-standing issues with privacy controls and user trust, it would probably be a super bad look trying to also take on LinkedIn's ultra-sleazy business model of selling access to search tools, info on who looked at your profile, etc.
Many communes have failed over the issue of who will do the dishes. This one solved the issue by using money (is it really a commune?) and paying more for repugnant jobs.

This is completely absurd. English is my only language but I would never hope for something like this. We're not supposed to cater to the needs of our tools; we're supposed to make technology cater to our needs. Following your logic to its natural conclusion, think about how much programming and debugging effort could be saved worldwide if we just stopped using machines and their features altogether.

I've contribute to Mastodon and run an instance. Yes, it's very silly to think you can use Activity Pub for non-public things .. but isn't that going to be true of ANY distributed social networking protocol?

Direct point-to-point we can make secure (relatively) yes. You can run your own e-mail server, setup up PGP keys, and once you make it through that usability nightmare, you now have secure e-mail (if you trust your hosting provider) that will probably get dropped as SPAM 1/3 of the time when e-mailing anyone on Google/MS/Yahoo.

There's an interesting case where Mastodon and Pleroma respect and forward delete requests. Say you have a thread started on BigInstanceA and I reply from PersonalInstanceB. Someone from IAC replies to the same thread and B sees it, but A can't because C is banned from A. The reply gets dropped. You now have two conversations not in sync.

Say A deletes the original. B gets the delete request, but C never does, since it's a banned instance from A's perspective and doesn't exist ... even though it has a full copy of the deleted thread.

Deletes are truly fucking silly in the AP world. As much criticism as Zuckerberge gets (and deserves), back in the day he just wanted everything public, and I'm kinda for that too. If I post something online, it's never personal. If I need to talk about something personal, I call a friend, or text them, or meet them in a bar or plan my next vacation to be in their city. Real conversations don't happen in this space.
It costs ~$1500 for the Internet Archive to store a TB of data forever. Cut them a check or provide an ongoing endowment (along perhaps with some technical resources to scale up a distributed web instead of existing solely in SF) for them to be storage of last resort (everything else can be a tier of caching on your platform).

Let's Encrypt runs for around $3MM/year. Same budget for Internet Archive allows for adding storage for 2PB of content. Scale up accordingly. No blockchain! [1]

I wonder if that is a historical or legal artifact.

Medicine wasn't always so refined to the point that the vaccines were pure pathogen in chemical carrier and didn't have some human specimen material trace or otherwise when isolating. Both for transport safety concerns and exemptions (no arresting the doctor for carrying vaccines even if he technically is guilty of transporting importing dissected human remains not fuffiling legal burial requirements when it takes a microscope to detect the human cells) would make sense.
>The sad part is that America seems to have lost the ability to fix problems like this.

The problem is deferring payment far into the future where the people deferring the payment won't have to deal with it, and the people in the future have to now sort out how to allocate the limited resources which were already promised years and decades in the past. There is no solution other than various parties getting all of what they were "promised", so everyone has to fight to get what they can.
You're not speculating on price, you are trusting that the company will make sound decisions which will result in growth and future profits, thereby increasing the stock's value. People mostly invest in stocks that don't pay dividends as opposed to instruments that pay fixed returns or companies that pay dividends because there is far more upside potential. I don't want all the companies I invest in to start being big dividend paying companies because that impedes their ability to grow.
Investors might be cashing out because the stock market is at a high. This is literally investing 101. Buy low sell high.

That's a misrepresentation of history. Being responsible for your own data hygiene has been the norm in many online circles for a long time. I have often experienced pretend-stalking (e.g. via exif information not stripped from images) as a way of opening the eyes of community members about the data they leak.
That average will be brought by junior stylists, but someone who goes to college shouldn't start as a junior (or only for a very short time). Juniors are usually the ones who start at 16 with no training at all. They're not allowed to do anything more complicated than making coffee for the customers and washing hair, and are paid accordingly.

Also not all stylists work full time because it's a relatively well-paid job. One of the colleagues at the salon I was talking about has worked a 3 day week for years, and another works 2 days a week (but she does have another job).

On your other point about older hairstylists, it's a very physical job where you stand in an awkward pose for long hours. Many retire (or semi-retire into salon ownership and doing occasional special customers) by their 50s.

Simone made shitty robots in the same way that Rodney Dangerfield got no respect. Simone was never the Queen of the Shitty Robots, she was the person who created the Queen of the Shitty Robots. And in so doing, she showed how to make a success out of something that appeared on its surface to be a failure. Hell, she even took a fucking brain tumor (in her own brain!) and turned it into humor. It is hard for me to imagine a more worthwhile thing a human being can do. Simone, like Rodney, deserves tremendous respect.

I had a female CS professor who noticed (and disliked) that students were a lot more likely to use her first name while calling male professors Dr. Whatever.

A lot of men) tend to perceive women as warmer, more nurturing, more approachable than their male counterparts; their approach to them is less formal, less respectful, more chummy. There are situations where that approach is appropriate, but the tendency to use it with every professional woman you meet is a problem.
Obviously you can't escape from observation in a city, on the contrary. Also in a city you may know as many people as in a village. The difference is that people that you cross paths along the day are not constantly people you know. You need to go some specific places to interact with people you know.

People that doesn't know you is as if they weren't observing you. So it's more or less something in the middle :m

Good. Markets without buybacks and dividends are a ponzi scheme. The whole point of selling equity in a business is to raise funds, use it to grow, then return funds to investors.

Sounds like a bad advisor. One question though, did you get a sense of this from current students before accepting the offer?

I’m not suggesting the situation is your fault for not knowing. But part of my advice to potential grad students is to talk to several current students of the advisor you’re considering. Reasonable advisors will not be offended by this, and if done in an informal off-the-record way (e.g. in person), I think most grad students will be honest about a bad advisor. Or at least impart some feeling for how their experience has been. For example, I personally know of cases where current students explicitly warned against working with an advisor during the admitted phd student visit day.

Not trying to argue that you should have avoided the situation, but I am curious about cases where the talk-to-current-students advice breaks down.

Taxing money at rest is called inflation. (Not literally) It mostly hurts people who are currently invested i assets denominated in that currency — which happens to be most regular folks.

And issuing more money is probably the fairest way for governments to pay for things. Decouple monetary policy from fiscal.

The velocity of MZM sits at around 1.3 right now, so it goes back after almost a year of being wasted. But who it goes to after that year matters as well. I would prefer Larry Page get the money because he will be able to intelligently allocate it. Or a productive poorer citizen get it to consume wisely. The myriad rent seeking morally defunct (and likely intellectually defunct) people who receive the government kickbacks are a bad set of people to end up with the money after a year. They invest poorly and spend frivolously. But sure, after several years, the money that didn't end up in the China's and the Cartels' pockets will probably back in circulation among the intelligent members of the economy.
What I don't understand about this is... Why can't I partake? If my employer is based out of these havens for tax purposes, why can't they pay "me" by paying into the bank account of the foreign on-paper-only company I own, whose line of credit with a foreign bank I then use for my own expenses?

I feel like this must be against the law somehow, but I don't quite understand where the line is.

I'm of the view is that if it's an Apple monitor, there's probably nothing you need to do to it other than plug it in and power it on. The color calibration out of the box will probably be near perfect, and all the controls will make perfect sense (which can't be said of all monitor makers).

Unless there's a huge warning sticker on the plastic that usually comes over the screen, I wouldn't even think that there was special care required.

Of course, that's assuming I'm setting up the monitor myself. In an office environment, it might not be set up by the actual user, and the user might not be given the manual or know about any special care requirements.

Not necessarily, if you use an actor-model where content is addressable using cryptographic keys, then you can get an object-capability system where having a reference to a piece of content is sufficient to grant access to it. This seems to be the way that some people are going with newer designs.

Also, the way you ban people is basically by having unique capabilities handed out to everyone. Then you can do various things to stop access (it's called a revoker in ocap jargon). See http://habitatchronicles.com/2017/05/what-are-capabilities/
Pretty sure Oracle trumps Google too, which puts them in second. I guess that makes Twitter third-to-last on that list.

I've always felt a level of entitlement around that. You (the business) want me to learn and get better. You get more value over time that way.
This actually happened to me once - I walked for way longer than I expected (I had looked at a map just to get directions not caring much about distances), but anyway it was an errand I absolutely had to do that day, knowing in advance how long it was going to take wouldn't have helped me (except maybe psychologically).

Now, I'm not defending my actions, I just gave the example to see I was not exaggerating.
I know, but was speaking more to adoption and usage. Obviously it's my impression, and it informs my vote.
You do not understand what it is to be a programmer. Programmers fix bugs. It might be boring but it's required. Programmers document. It also might be boring but it's required. Programmers write unit tests. We've hired people that don't want to do the non-fun stuff. They don't last long, they generally come in, cause problems for the team and then leave. The people that are willing to do what's needed even if it isn't fun are much better to have on a team.

_This_ doesn't make any sense. Companies don't think. They're legal entities that are controlled by a small group of people. This group of people can decide that they would prefer to do share buybacks to meet their own performance targets.
