This 17 year old kid was being chased by a mob that included one 36 year old convicted pedophile. These mobs burning cities to the ground everytime some story gets bent out of shape are going to destroy this country and millions will perish along with those systems including many of your loved ones and probably you as well. We don't have to guess because that's exactly how the first half of the 20th century worked out. These are no longer protests. They're terrorists burning businesses, apartments and churches to the ground, assaulting police officers, and leaving nothing but hatred and flames in their wake.
From personal experience in running similar things, they aren't a good method of discerning quality of people.

Just because "tar" happens to stand for "Tape ARchive" doesn't mean tarballs have anything to do with actual tape archives. It only means that the files are stored sequentially, which is a perfectly reasonable way to structure an archive.

If you want to criticize how Slackware does things, there are myriad better points you could've brought up, like:

- The installer being only minimally changed from that of Softlanding Linux System

- The installer still operating under the notion of "disk sets", from back when it was remotely feasible to install Slackware from floppies (which hasn't been the case in multiple decades now)

- The lack of dependency checking (though having been burned by dependency hell multiple times, I'd call this a "feature")

- The lack of PAM, if that matters to you (though the -current branch now includes it, so Slackware 15.0 probably will, too)

And yet, none of these things have prevented me from being happy and productive with Slackware, both at home and at work, on desktops and servers. It's what I'm running on the very laptop on which I'm typing this comment, on my main workstation / gaming rig at home, and previously on my servers (before I acquired a taste for OpenBSD and SmartOS).
> Have Bitcoin supporters shifted their goal from making Bitcoin a viable currency to making Bitcoin a value store?

Bitcoin just "is", how you decide to use it is up to you.. that's the whole point. IMO for it to be money it would need to be adopted for 3 use cases SoV->MoE->UoA, in that order.

> Bitcoin value is based on speculation

Yeah, seems like a lot of people are betting that it will be the global money in the future, so they are building positions now. That's why you get this nice market signal - bitcoin's price increasing relative to other monies, before it has actually become money.

> First of all, fixed scarcity? Is this actually a good thing? And is Bitcoin actually scarce? How does hard forking affect the scarcity? And is there a reason why any singular fork of Bitcoin is the one and true cryptocurrency?

Yes. Yes. Yes. How does the scarcity of Swiss Francs affect the scarcity of Japanese Yen? Not directly, but I'm sure there is some effect. People disagree about this, but IMO Bitcoin is the fork that the majority of economic actors on the network use.

> "Software durability" also is pretty funny

They're referring to the Bitcoin consensus code I think.

> How much cryptocurrency has been stolen through software exploits

Compared to the amount of gold and fiat that's been stolen, I would say not much.

> However, if you're thinking about a value storage, is portability actually that good?

It is. Certainly if you need to escape some increasingly repressive regime. If I was an activist trying to get out of Hong Kong right now, I certainly wouldn't be carrying bricks of gold with me.
Often in OOP the internal state of objects is modified. In FP on does not modify state, unless one does not find another way or performance issues really force one to do so, for example, if one had to copy huge objects and tge performance suffers noticably.

In OOP we often give objects as arguments, where we would give functions in FP, which is usually a simpler construct.

They main concept in FP is the function or closures and so on as first class citizens, while in many OOP lang (!) it is the object and functions are second class only.

Good FP support in a language requires good support for recursion in my opinion, to profit from elegant ways to express things and "what" not "how" style.

Many design patterns (Gang of 4) in OOP simply come naturally in FP or are circumvented with using functions as the main primitive and giving them as arguments and not mutating state. For example the decorator pattern or the visitor pattern.

So yes, in some ways OOP and FP are mutually exclusive, but not In some other ways.

Well ok, but you're both strengthening my point and not weakening it. I do think though that languages usually are somehow formalized and that's where you can say "it's written like this even though dialect speakers pronounce it differently", whereas the language wikipedia I quoted has some "somewhat accepted by some percentage" version of how it's pronounced which doesn't even apply to 50% of the people speaking it.
I got the reMarkable as a tool to make my writing process more natural, and less cumbersome. I have been editing a novel, which means carrying around a stack of 250 pages so I can add notes in the margins before I get back to the computer to write the next revision. It’s heavy, and I’m tired of printing the full book so that I can have that tactile experience of writing on the page. The reMarkable tablet gives me a way to continue my writing processes without paper. Going to try this new version!
ok, nice claims... but where is the language page/framework/api documentation or demos?

Perhaps this one here? https://sdk.dfinity.org/docs/index.html

> I don't know much about Taiwan and how nationalistic they are

You will want to read up on The Republic of Formosa, WWII and the history of Taiwan at some point. There are enough Chinese nationals on this website to downvote us all but suffice to say, it is widely regarded at the federal level that Taiwan could come under siege by the Chinese Communist Party at anytime and be used as a bargaining chip with the West along with Hong Kong, the DPRK armistice and Western financial interests in Macau. We need to begin evacuating Hong Kong and Taiwan immediately back to the USA --in fact, China just seized a boat of people fleeing Hong Kong last night, the first time they have done that (and on what charges, nobody knows, not even the Chief of Police of Hong Kong). As the President said today, we are going to break it off cold with China and as you expand your knowledge of the situation, you will realize that China claims Taiwan as part of its territory and the people of Taiwan do not.

That's his defense, of course, that he didn't believe this person despite them continually saying that they were 13.

But if you find someone pretending to be 13, you have to be incredibly stupid to go along with them for sex, whether they're lying or not. I mean, right or wrong, you're in trouble.

> So just to be clear, is it your belief that Craigslist personal ads are mostly written by children?

The ad the convicted sex offender replied to was explicitly written by children, a fact that he was repeatedly made well aware and acknowledged during his arrest.

> A person who says they met up with some girls from Craigslist before should be presumed to be voluntarily confessing that they have been meeting children?

He replies to an ad posted by a 13 year old girl, and he was quite aware the underage girl he was trying to have sex with was indeed 13 years old.

Resurge is an incredible dietary enhancement. In spite of the fact that its primary objective is to improve your rest, what you may not know about is the way intently rest is connected to each other part of your life. This implies getting an inadequate measure of rest every night accomplishes more mischief than you know about.

The problem with gold is not unlimited supply. Humans have mostly colonized planet Earth. It has become increasingly difficult to mine gold. Average Joe can no longer mine gold with a pickaxe. Gold mining now requires large capital expenditure. Space mining also requires large capital investment.

The problem with gold is centralization. Large capital investment prevents smaller players to participate. Nation states also monopolize the existing gold supply. New gold from space is likely going to end up in central banks' reserve.

Bitcoin faces the same problem with centralization. The hard cap makes Bitcoin even easier to manipulate. Nation states can pump and dump retail investors out of the game. Don't fight the Fed. If the Fed decides to enter the Bitcoin game, investors are going to lose. Once nation states monopolize the Bitcoin supply, we're back to the same situation like gold. Making decentralized money is not that easy. Bitcoin alone cannot fix everything.
When Julia Evans wanted to learn what SQLite does, she just stuffed some printf calls into the code and rebuilt it :).

You could do similar at API entry points.

Or, if you're after writes, it would be simpler to attach an "on insert/update" trigger that just records the changes in another table. See https://www.sqlite.org/undoredo.html for an example of using triggers this way.
How are ads "not the same thing"?!? The idea is that Apple takes 30% of whatever you sell via an app available in the App Store. Some sell games, Facebook sells ads. It is actually their core business.

Likely, the real reason why Facebook won't have to pay the 30%, is that it is too big a customer to lose. Facebook is too important for Apple as a customer to have in the App Store. So Apple and Facebook made a deal, which is what you can do if you are big enough...

The fact that a new iOS will reduce the tracking of users by Facebook is not even remotely touching the topic we're discussing here. If Apple has a rule that it can take 30% of every sale made via an app from the App Store, this should be applied to every sale. Everything else smells like Trumpism, where you pay less taxes the richer you are...

Easy-peasy.. just like when you go to the super market or a restaurant and the receipt has the analysis of the amount: $15 pizza, $15 salad, $3 soft drink, $10 VAT, $8 Apple's 30% fee (I didn't do the math, but you get the spirit).

They CANNOT force you to remove transparency and visibility of the line items. I understand that they want to hide the 30% cut and not being called out.

They can also split the receipt in three parts:

A) you purchased:

Pizza $15, Salad $15, Soft drink $3

B) Other fees:

Apple's 30% fee $10

C) Taxes:

VAT $3

Edit: it just hit me. Don't write that ONLY in the receipt. Write it up front, BEFORE a user completes the transaction. Total price of ticket $10. Analysis.. X, Y 30% Apple's fee, VAT.
The ugly truth Apple doesn't want aired out in the open is that if not for apps like Twitter and Facebook, its own platform (iOS) is suddenly alot less appealing.

This in addition to the question of, what is 30% of all revenue FB makes via ad purchases in its iOS app? I don't think this number is published but easy to think it is in the billions (what is annual FB ad revenue? $60 billion something like that? How much of that is ad agencies (or ad buyers) managing ads via the iOS app?)

If Apple were to attempt to tax that... they'd suddenly give Facebook a several-billion-dollar reason to push the market to create a third mobile device platform and have it overtake iOS.

It's a little lame having a new language post without any examples. I'm also skeptical that a new language is worthwhile. If I were assessing a new tech stack, I'm not sure I'd be fine with a new platform and a new language at the same time. That's too much unproven territory. If the platform turns out to be a bust, I'd have a bunch of code in Motoko that I'd have to deal with.
>Users had to certify that they were 18 or older, but at the time Craigslist didn’t verify users’ age. People described their appearance in personal ads, then sent photos that didn’t match. Some seemed to enjoy role playing. He once replied to a post describing an attractive 21-year-old, but when he arrived at the address she gave him, an old man answered the door. He got out of there fast.

Yeah and the 60 year old man that cat fished him also repeatedly stated that he was an attractive 21 year old women so everything people tell you on craigslist must be 100% truth even if they provide a picture that completely disproves what they have said.

Come on cragislist is full of bullshit. You can't trust anything people say on that platform.

> That's what he did, and that was his motivation when he knowingly tried to meet that 13 year old girl.

He saw the picture of an adult women and then met an adult woman. Is that really against the law nowadays?

Quite clear by showing an image of an adult woman?

Did he not repeatedly explain why he thought the person he was talking to was not 13?

> Regarding inflation, the Fed has just confirmed yesterday their intent to increase it, they will for the first time not fight against inflation going more than 2% yearly over a period of time even...

Their issue right now is they're tracking towards 0.44%, not 2% as they intend. Their goal is to increase inflation towards 2%.

> All this money printing will end up in inflation at one point, which is also the only way to ever repay all that debt.

This is a common misconception among armchair economists (and a great point against Bitcoin, too). The issue we're facing right now is that the velocity of money has been reduced, causing deflationary pressure (not inflation). This is typical in recessionary environments, and not at all desirable. Satoshi's will notwithstanding.

Further, as long as the expansion of the broader economy outpaces the growth in deficit it doesn't actually need to be paid back. Also, more than half of US debt is domestically held.

> How much cryptocurrency has been stolen through software exploits, be it within a cryptocurrency itself or via some adjecent software, thus far?

In 2010 Bitcoin had a critical bug (integer overflow) which resulted in hundreds of millions of BTC being created. At the time the network was small enough that users accepted the patch for it which forked the chain.

In 2018 another inflation bug was found by a Bitcoin Cash developer who was kind enough to fix it instead of take advantage of it himself.

Bitcoin is just software. Lots of people involved in Bitcoin don't know anything about software and treat it like a religion. Bitcoin can barely do a few transactions per second even when it's main use case is leverage trading on exchanges. I'm sorry but that'll never be how you take over the world's payments.

Instead of innovating on the software, the Bitcoin cult just declares it "done". I like Bitcoin but the community has actively sabotaged the project. It looks like the one world currency will be Libra (or similar) instead. Maybe that's not such a bad thing.

I mean, the same sex offender also admitted he once tried to meet a girl for sex even though it ended up being a 70 year old man. Doesn't seem to be a problem.

> From the article:

What's your point? That children never use clichés or memes or try to act older than they are?

I mean, do you believe a 13 year old girl that states quite clearly she is 13 years old is actually in her 50s if she mentions Miami Vice?

> How many middle-aged men have you met who can accurately write thirteen-year-old girls?

According to the sex offender caught in the sting, quite a few times. In fact, the article stated he once met a 70 year old man when he thought he was meeting a young girl.
