With venmo you can just scan their account QR code to send them money, which is easily accessible in the app. I even have a card from them with my qr code printed on it. It requires them to have an account, but this seems no more onerous than understanding how to spend the new wallet you just got the keys to.

When you create the wallet, and put money in it however, there have to be fees right? I understand transferring the wallet is not going to cost anything because you are just sharing a private key, but you still have to fill the wallet. And now the recipient also has to move the money out of the wallet on the blockchain to use it, paying transaction fees. (Worse, they have to do so before you do, since you made the wallet you still have the private key! This needs another centralized service to prevent you from spending money you tipped)

I think the crypto angle is a red herring, what is really important to your idea is the QR-code flow that doesn't require the recipient to have done any setup. That's a good idea.
> Can you end the license before expiry?

Of course you can, you just need to specify terms. Terms that can be in some reliable way observed by the blockchain, of course, so you'd need a trustworthy oracle or whatever to actually observe activities outside the state.

> Can you end the royalties? Who gets the royalty when a dispute arises is frequently decided by the courts.

If that's part of the contract, then yes. A smart contract is not necessarily a legally binding contract, it's a computer program which can be or represent some actual legal instrument. Once a contract is written, it cannot be revoked, unless it itself contains code that allows for one or both parties to make it not function. At the moment it is created, it becomes just an entity on the blockchain, linked to the parties by nothing but the fact that under certain conditions it will perform certain actions, which can relate to certain accounts.

> So, enable one to skip the laws?

Yes, this is a fundamental belief that can't really be separated from blockchain technology. All data and all things of value are equal before the law and you can sell illegal bonds as easily as a kid can sell him ms paint art. For several reasons, you can imagine the most reprehensible type of data or instrument one could sell online, and blockchain tech would declare that it deserves to be traded on a public market like any other commodity.

> Using a tool or instrument to do something illegal doesn't make it okay to do that thing.

Something being illegal doesn't mean it's not okay to do. Using a method which makes a law impossible to actually enforce makes that thing effectively not a law, and to do or enable that is to declare to the world that this thing should not be illegal. Fundamental, again, I cannot see a way of separating this from blockchains with arbitrary smart contracts.
Honestly, no. PV does fluctuate, but at PG&E scale, the fluctuation is (a) smooth and (b) predictable. Demand for energy is going up, but demand for PG&E's brand of energy is going down. But state law guarantees PG&E revenues. That's the reason for these anti-consumer moves.

In any event, surely you agree that state granted monopoly utilities are public services. They're endowed with a monopoly to serve what the people need. PG&E seems to believe it has a right to live perpetually in... I don't know... 1988? But it doesn't.
Rudeness is often just a mask for something else. Look behind the rudeness and you find frustration and a need to be heard. Emotion is a bit like a pendulum, one side is anger, the other is happiness, and in the middle is neutral. If you just listen and try and genuinely connect, the pendulum can swing back. In my experience some of the rudest customers became our biggest advocates. It's the neutral customers that you never hear from that can be the most difficult because they just churn away without any actionable feedback.

Specifically to the sales tactic, hopefully everyone knows it's a tactic, and it works because it elicits responses. People crave genuine connection and disingenuous emails like this can be trigger points, but alas the incentive structure of inside sales teams is often to elicit any response. It's the modern day "calling at dinner time because you know someone will be home" trick.
Exactly.

> This is a running joke among Japanese language learners, but less of an actual problem than you'd think.

I have gotten some comments about my Chinese being somewhat feminine. I don't speak, so this is all based on text messaging. And Chinese doesn't have overt gender-of-speaker markers, so the issue persists even if you avoid those.

I particularly remember one person commenting that making the agreement / I'm-listening noise in two syllables, 嗯嗯, was "cute" where a man should have just said 嗯. Apparently, this is the kind of thing that will get you.

For what it's worth, in my face-to-face interactions with Chinese men, I got a lot more criticism for the fact that all of the acquaintances I ever mentioned were female than for my choice of words in the rare case where I spoke in Chinese. But again, speaking Chinese is mostly restricted to text messages for me.
youre doing something incredibly wrong if there is a threat that your system can be taken over by logging. and java enterprise object store late bound remote naming system registry garbage non-solutions to non-problems are the thing that is being done incredibly wrong here. your opinion is literally just an admission that you misunderstand basic software engineering principles like pretty much all programmers

edit: on second thought, your sentiment makes sense in your world where most programmers live where most libs are doing asinine stuff because some enterprise dude needs it for his use case which could have been solved 500 other more saner ways. in that world, yes, you should always be afraid of anyhing, even a printf (hint hint DOTS soon)
In cases like this I think it's usually a collection of changes that result in the vulnerability. Someone adds support for format strings in a config. Then later someone else says "hey, what if we expanded format string support so that they can be interpolated in log strings" and at that time this didn't present a risk since the strings didn't support commands. Then someone else says "wow, what if we added support for commands to our format strings", not realizing that they now are also interpolated in log strings.

I'm not saying this is exactly what happened, but I've seen it often enough.

Again, the point is, whether it is a bug or not is irrelevant. It's an exploit and should be patched. If it was deemed a "feature" then it needs to be removed. There is nothing hard to understand here.

I don't disagree its annoying for a consumer, I live in Europe. However, a publisher has to license the content from a producer, that producer (or distributor) sets the price on a regional basis. In the US the ROI likely stacks up better than for Luxemburg. A publisher (Netflix etc) would prefer to have a simpler model, but it has to make sense financially. Part of the reason large publishers are also increasingly producers, not just for exclusivity of content.

To start with you lose about 30% of any power generated in losses between generation and delivering it to the consumer, so at a minimum you have to add 30% to the prices utility companies are paying for power to contrast it correctly with consumer prices. From there you have to run and then maintain, something like hundreds of thousands of miles of lines, that are dangerous to work on, twenty four hours a day. You need teams of workers, parking lots full of bucket trucks, and millions of dollars of specialized equipment and spare parts.

Cash is perhaps a little more traceable than cryptocurrency is since most ways it is passed around is in one way or another linked to the physical world and to your actual existence. You can however launder cryptocurrency without leaving your room and without ever being linked to any of that once you slowly bleed it out into cash. The only point at which your physical being comes close to anything traceable is once it's so white the NSA couldn't catch you. And frequently, they don't. Because as said before, it's an international issue.

DPRK often does some money borrowing from the less tech-savvy users out in the west. That money goes into buying that government all kinds of stuff, both abroad and even for the actual physical country itself. Cuba dances around the US blockade with cryptocurrencies. Both of these are of supreme interest to national security agencies in the US. Yet none of them have managed to really get a proper hold on these operations.
Thanks for the great contribution to the thread. Pretty much my thoughts.

I do believe that having to allocate a large stack is a downside, but again, with compiler help it should be possible, at least in theory, to compile stackful coroutines whose stack usage is known and bounded (i.e all task switch happen at top level or on non recursive inlined functions) to exactly the same stack usage of stackless coroutines.
I'm not sure I follow this.

The initial comment was "to do your job well, you should do X". The response was "I hate this type of comment. I don't care about doing my job well".

That seems like a pretty bizarre reaction. If someone said "it's hard work, but you should focus on [XYZ] to ensure your code is well-tested", and someone responded "I hate it when people talk about how to make code more robust. I don't care about doing my job well", would you find that a reasonable response as well? Or in response to parenting advice, "I hate this type of comment. I don't want to have kids". It seems to me that the implicit context for how to do your job well is....people who care about doing their job well?
One thing that drives me nuts, when I give in and produce a list of stuff I'd kinda sorta like for the various relatives requesting such and, inevitably, most of it's just books, is that no one will buy them used. I tell them to, over and over, but they won't do it. I'd rather receive the same number of books and know they spent less on them. Or 3x as many books for the same money. But no. They just won't do it.

Then again, I think toys should be removed from their store packaging before being wrapped, but I always lose that struggle, too. People seem really stuck on only giving visibly-new things. I suspect there's some Fussellian class-analysis to be done on that behavior.
HDMI is great for a home theatre set up where there's an obvious central unit, but the ecosystem has gotten worse if your speakers don't take in HDMI, at least at the very cheap end of the spectrum I buy on.

My current TV will only put out an inferior "headphone" mix over the 3.5mm connection, and the SPDIF connection is co-axial on the tv, but optical on the speaker. Having to run a powered converter box just to get audio from my tv to a speaker feels like such a step backwards.

I think this almost every time I read the paper. It’s like Linus’ “show me the code.” I just want papers now to “show me the data and the code.” And include a discussion about why these results are important. I think it’s a great time for the scientific community to improve transparency on these fronts.

Sincerely, someone who reads a lot of research but contributes none because I’m an amateur.

Range a-la python is a generator and is pretty straightforward in js as is. There is no need for a complicated solution and/or as part of stdlib, imo:

}

for (let n of range(3, 5)){
console.log(n)

> you can just scan their QR code

You still have to ask them if they have Venmo, ask them for their QR code, scan it, create the transaction, and then send it, and then make sure you sent it to the right person.

The loading wallet/unloading wallet concern is definitely warranted. I’d imagine that this would have to become a new special type of wallet, that the private keys are never accessible to the end-user. You could verify funds in the wallet per the blockchain as normal etc but the administrative account permissions would have to be abstracted to a more centralized system of control unfortunately.

If you spent the funds directly from these temp/“cash” wallets, you wouldn’t need to pay fees on the way out either, right. Furthermore, if you could pay directly with these types of cash wallets, businesses could just utilize the direct transfer themselves and never cash them out when customers use them to purchase from them.

My issue isn't that it needs a command line parameter. It's that you need to create a whitelist that enumerates everything that anything is going to use individually.

The problem is more nuanced than that and just throwing out "Population control." is completely meaningless.

You could cull three billion people of the lowest emitters and it would have as much of an effect as halving the CO2 emissions of the top 1% of emitters.[1] And considering that to avoid the worst of the climate crisis we need action immediately or as close to it as possible, waiting for people to die away will not help us. If the entire planet stopped having babies today we would wait 65 years to get to half the current population, and half the emissions.

At best, and I would argue even that is a stretch, population control is one small part of a long term strategy. But it is by no means a solution, so throwing it out there every time people talk about sustainability does nothing but derail the conversation.

What we really need is to to make consumption as sustainable as possible and reduce it where possible, especially for the top consumers. That is not only more feasible in the short term, it is probably more ethical as well.

I was going to talk about software engineering being different because you have to build like you're in a nuclear war all the time. But, this sort of thing happens in other industries. Remember asbestos or leaded fuel, or CFC's.

I think doing a retro on the feature and asking why a logging systems needs to have so many features may be a question worth answering. Because there's tons of dependencies I use, where I want 15 to 10% of the features and the rest is just the library developers building hyper niche use cases or avoiding other work. So I expect there's a ton of other features waiting for this kind of CVE to emerge.
