Option #1 :
I am aware many exchanges/markets do 'bitcoin mixing' to get around this, but the local authority could just as easily subpoena/force someone like mtgox into giving up the info of where the coins are going. As always, the folks who cant hide behind tor and want to appear legit are going to be weakest. (mtgox/bitpay/coinbase/etc..) - Those are the companies that will be 'compelled' to comply if it gets to that point.

.

Option #2:
Inspect the packages you receive for fingerprints. You will likely find a postal workers prints and be able to continually track it back to the sourced post office. Then you just correlate the time the package was likely sent and watch security footage, looking for something that matches the shape/look of your package.

.

Also- Please dont take the above post too seriously. I have mostly no idea what I am talking about when it comes to bitcoin.
Actually I sort of assume that they are running the servers in a jurisdiction that is less than cooperative with US authorities. But at some point that becomes immaterial. If the operators are ID'd that's when they get in difficulties.

If they are smart, they have multiple "real" identities set up to be ID'd first, and a plan to sterilize, evac and start over when the cover is blown.

But they have accomplished something that few people ever get to do. Pioneer a new kind of crime.
Meh... I can't really put my finger on it, but something just seems off (or unrigorous) with this. I feel like if I wanted to come up with some kind of metric to demonstrate that southern or northern states are the happiest (over western), I probably could.

In other words, start with my results and then find some data to support them.
The viewpoint from your corner of the world is wrong. The viewpoint from my corner is right. Of course both can't possibly be part of the whole story at the same time, that's ridiculous.

Regional happiness may or may not correlate to usage of these "happy words" or "unhappy words", especially across local cultures, circumstances (e.g. before or after Obama's election, different regions will respond differently), technology/twitter adoption, etc.
>Almost every language has a book titled "Expert $LANGUAGE". If a language doesn't have one of those, it's probably either very new, or nobody actually uses it, or both.

I said books. I got that vibe in general from the people I met who claimed to be C wizards. Incredibly offputting.

>C and C++ are good for doing low-level stuff. If you don't want to do low-level stuff, then you should not worry about them. But in that case, you might also want to avoid commenting about them :)

I was going to delete my original comment because reading it over it felt like a bad idea. (I don't like jumping into ignorance induced shitstorms.)[0][1]

>This is kind of an odd thing to criticize C++ for, since a lot of newer languages don't even have a standard, but just a reference implementation.

I should have put "features" in quotes. I was specifically using the definition in the old jargon file. [2] So what I really meant to say is that the compilers end up supporting each others bugs for compatibility reasons.

As for reference implementations, if the reference implementation is for all practical reasons the only implementation, then you don't need a standard.

[0]: The comments I got in response are interesting enough that I'm actually glad I didn't.

[1]: EDIT. My ignorance.

[2]: See footnote on the last post, I should have made that more clear or used different terminology.
I'm surprised New Yorkers aren't the bunch of miserable bastards I thought we were. Also I realise money may not buy you happiness, but a lot of the wealthier areas tended to show more happiness, although that may just be a function of poverty creating sadness.

Actually, there is some logic to it. Men are much less likely to commit crimes when they reach middle age. If the goal is to keep society safe from criminals, you could do worse than to keep every serious offender in until he's forty.
Sean, I wish you'd take a closer look at live coding before saying this kind of thing, you've very much got the wrong idea about live coding. I'm just off to work but I'll send you some references later.

Live coding is absolutely everything about live feedback. This gives you access to performing in front of a live audience, but that is only part of it. It also allows new styles of collaborative programming, and exploring of ideas in composition.

Live coding is about using programming languages to manipulate running code, maintaining state (if there is any).

Check out the code in the "hacking perl in nightclubs" article that this one links to. The software it discusses takes on live updates without restarts or losing state (in fact, the code in the editor is part of the state). It also has an option to take on edits every keypress, but it's off by default, because it's impractical. Sometimes you just don't want 1 and 10 to be interpreted on the way to 100.

Live coding arose in an interdisciplinary context of music performance, pedagogy, media theory, psychology and computer science.

The thesis you link to is really excellent, but has shared roots with live coding and is referenced in the live coding literature.
> I am aware many exchanges/markets do 'bitcoin mixing' to get around this, but the local authority could just as easily subpoena/force someone like mtgox into giving up the info of where the coins are going.

The coins are mixed _before_ they arrive to mtgox or some exchange, I would guess.

> Even if you mix the coins a few times through a few sites, its still going to be the best way to find them.

Any arguments here? The authorities would need information from every web site that has been involved with the transfer. The mixers can reside in the tor network, so it is impossible to get the connecting information.

No. Greenyoda is talking about the process where writing down just the initial description of the problem is sufficient to notice the solution. Happens to me all the time, and I also observe it happen to others. My more junior coworkers sometimes sent me IMs like this:

Coworker:
Hey enraged_camel, I'm having an issue, I was wondering if you can help

It goes like this

<description of the issue, followed by a 10-15 second pause>

Actually I think I figured it out...

Sometimes I read their problem description and don't respond for several minutes to allow them to have that internal conversation with themselves. And a lot of the time, it works.
No, you can't. The coins are mixed before they get to mtgox. Mtgox doesn't know where they came from.

In fact, you don't even need to use mtgox. Mtgox is just where you swap bitcoins for cash. If I sold drugs, it would be smart to just keep the money in bitcoins.

And you can also exchange money for bitcoins with an anonymous physical person in your city. Just go to localbitcoins.com, find someone near you with one or the other, and swap with them.
Anechoic, I can't reply directly, but that goes back to my original question.

> If you are a male between the ages of 14 and 17 who is convicted of a violent felony, your chances of getting re-arrested are better than 80%

Why is this true of felons, but 80% of illegal immigrants don't commit felonies?
Because they're supposed to be using the app store, which is very easy to use.
It's more a poverty of spirit than anything else. They have material goods.

Seriously, who actually experiences fear because of chinese hackers?
If Chinese hackers want what's on a given hard disk, there's no way to stop them.

To which I answer, air gap.

Yes, the air gap can be compromised, but at that point you aren't just talking hackers in China. You're talking organized crime with cat burglars breaking into US facilities.
and end up bettering themselves?

What is the percentage of undocumented workers that end up truly bettering themselves while staying outside the immigration system?

Quite possibly has a stable family structure already in place

That's nowhere near a given for many (perhaps most) felons.
> People absolutely freak out when they suspect the US government of spying on a citizen.

Why would they only spy on citizens? They have a long history of sharing corporate espionage when corporate data is snatched in their net (http://archive.newsmax.com/archives/ic/2005/12/19/114807.sht... and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ECHELON#Controversy). Economic espionage by governments began way before internet even was a thing.

Not that this makes it right for china to use hackers for the same goal, but at the same time it is nothing new. The biggest difference between NSA and the Chinese hackers are that the NSA are mostly passive listeners on the wire, passing along what they "hear" to corporations. Chinese hackers are more active listeners, and pass along what they "find" to corporations. Still, not much of a difference in my book.
I'm not exceptionally worried about China's nukes. They understand MAD. I'm more worried about the middle east.

Authoritarianism is more worrying if it's in the country I'm standing on.

My main fear with biological warfare is non-state actors. As it becomes possible to do more with less, the chances of fundamentalists and other malicious parties using biological agents for terrorism or worse go up.
Both relate to problems with Finder that go all the way back to the beginning of OS X. I suppose people used to OS X often become blind to them.

#1: Yeah, you'd think a visible sidebar with Applications visible would make sense. I've seen some of these that have an alias (shortcut) for Applications displayed in the folder, though. The non-obvious workaround I use is to press Command-N to get a new Finder window with a sidebar.

#2: Again, Finder. One possibility to recommend--have a Downloads window open in your browser. Then, even if the Downloads window for Finder hides itself, a visible connection can be made to the new file. Double-click in the Downloads window or, as I prefer, right-click=>Show in Finder.

I ignore the bounce from Downloads on the dock, and just treat it as a visual indicator of download completion, not an inducement to click like a normal bounce.
The problem with LW is that the old-timer's confidence is pegged at 100% for non-controversial stuff (like Bayes' Theorem) and highly controversial stuff (like the inevitability of unfriendly AI). It's essentially a cult of personality around Eliezer Yudkowsky, with little dissent.

They use the non-controversial value-add stuff to draw new members into the cult. Eliezer has stated in interviews that the most important thing you can do is help him on his research if you can, and otherwise to make as much money as possible to give to his research, save a bit for your living expense. Now he has dozens of people that agree with him completely, a few hundred that mostly agree with him, and thousands that think he's a pretty swell guy and don't realize the shady depths of the philosophy he's pushing.

How are the coins mixed before exactly?

Also, I think its extremely impractical to think that a volume drug dealer is going to do physical exchanges. Even if they did opt for that route- Track the guy he did the exchanges with, then beat him with a wrench to find out who he bought from.
Why is this true of felons, but 80% of illegal immigrants don't commit felonies?

I wonder if perhaps the added deterrence of getting kicked out of the country has an effect at reducing felonies among undocumented immigrants. Also, immigrants in general tend to be, as a group, more determined to better themselves than most which is why they're here in the first place. Plus you have things like parole restrictions that limit where a felon can go, move, visit and work.
Tizen 2.0 SDK and Source Code Out Of Alpha
I think that what happened in US is what happens when society persistently refuses to take responsibility for the people that are worth so little on the job market that they can't provide for themselves and their families.

Number of such people are growing because of automation. You have nothing to do for them valuable enough. You are refusing to give them money when the don't do anything so they turn to last profitable things they can do. Those things are illegal. Now you can lock them up and finally have an excuse to give them money (mostly in form of food and shelter and bit of security) for nothing. As additional benefit you can now have an excuse to use tax money hire bunch of people (who are also pretty close to not being able do anything valuable) to watch and re-catch the ones you've locked up.

Root cause IMHO is the stubborn insistence on the rule that you have to work to provide for basic necessities and that people won't work if they are not scared of loosing food and shelter. Meanwhile only 0.01% of all the work done is still done by people. The rest is done by the machines. We don't have 99.99% unemployment rate only because the amount of work we do increased roughly 10000-fold. But it's not exactly that and there's no reason it should be. We have lot of coping mechanisms, like prisons, government inventing new rules and hiring new officers to enforce those rules, corporate jobs that consists mostly of keeping your head low and making friends so you don't get kicked out, unemployment benefits. Huge number of people takes money for nothing already but no one wants to be honest about it. Even if you are sure you don't then you still do because part of the money you should be paying for your food is paid by the government in form of subsidies for farmers. If you are living in European country you were likely given lots of free education and some free health services.
The iPhone did what it could do because it bundled a data plan that was reasonable at the time ($20/month unlimited, though 2G only, was a pretty damn good deal). Prior to my iPhone I used a Treo 6xx series that Verizon wanted me to pay $45/m for data (2G also).

The lack of native data connectivity made PDAs deal with the continually nasty and ever under-estimated problem of sync. With iPhoneOS v1, Apple matched what Palm had to offer - an iPod touch was almost as good as a Palm PDA, an iPhone better than a Treo. With iOS2 and ActiveSync, it blew away it's competition.

Judging positive/negative emotions by semantic analysis of 140 chains of characters. Meh ? Call me unconvinced. Especially for people who tend to use irony in their communications, semantic analysis can be easily misinterpreted. Plus, who says that the people tweeting in a particular place are actually living there and not just passing by ? Who says their tweets relate to their environment and not to a particular news they reacted to ?

I think it can certainly be used as a "qualitative" analysis, but making it a "measurement of happiness" is overdoing it.
I watched your pitch video, and it indeed was painful. You didn't have the answer to an important question, and you still don't. "We don't want to be a hedge fund" is not an answer. If your prediction software works, you are sitting on a gold mine, and you DON'T need a huge amount of cash.

If ticket prices fluctuate 40%, and you're right 80% of the time, and half the time the prices are going up, your potential gain is

0.4 * 0.8 * 0.5 = 0.16 = 16%

Which is twice as good as your fee margin of 7%.

EDIT: And what's more important, your volume is not limited by the percentage of your site visitors who make purchases, you are limited by your money, which will grow exponentially, more or less. 32% average profit (minus fees) on each buy/sell is fucking HUGE, it's unbelievable you're not doing it.

I'm not very familiar with Ruby, but I know there are some similar pain-points wrt packages/dependencies and maintaining "pristine" (aka "actually working") project trees (it's not specific to python/ruby either - hence package managers like apt/yum, build tools like apache maven etc).

What I usually do, is I have a system python for packages managed with
apt (There are a lot of these, try):

aptitude search '?and(?depends(python),?installed)'

- and a system installed virtualenv.

I then have a local python virtulalenv for installing misc packages (eg: a more recent mercurial than the one distributed in apt on older Debian distros):

virtualenv ~/opt/python-misc
ln -s ~/opt/python-misc/bin ~/pybin
# In .bashrc:
if [ -d "~/opt/pybin" ] then PATH="~/opt/pybin:${PATH}" fi; export PATH

Note my "local" python virtualenv is before system in path, so any casual pip install "shiny-package-that-migh-break-system" just (at worst) means I have to recreate the virtualenv (or pip uninstall it).

But for projects -- I highly recommend looking at buildout. A nice summary I stumbled across here:

http://www.marmelune.net/en/python/buildout/from-virtualenv-...

edit: formatting
Well, I might be upset if this were true for all keywords.

{
@for (@unsigned @int i = 0; i < 32; i++)
@if ((x >> i) == 0)
@return i;
@return 32;
}

I'm a bit dizzy looking at that code, let me sit down for a moment.

Thanks for the links; I had heard of SmartOS but not known much about the technology.

What sort of disappointed me about LXC is that you end up with an init process and 7 or 8 children of it in each container. I am more interested in sandboxing at the level of a single process. In a lot of cases you just want to run somebody else's Python code and look at its stdout; you don't need to spin up init and family do that.

There are a hundred and one projects like this but most of them seem half-baked.

Capsicum [1] looks like what I'm interested in; there seemed to be effort around a Linux port a couple years ago but I don't think it happened. Does Illumos/SmartOS provide anything like this?

"Monitoring" is an unspeakably mild term for the mass censorship of the web that the Chinese government undertakes.

The Chinese military is an appendage of the Chinese government, and acts according to the government's demands. As with StuxNet, it's highly likely that these attacks had officials calling the shots (if not writing the code).

> How are the coins mixed before exactly?

You can mix them anyhow you want. If you know how bitcoin transactions work, the idea is simply to break the transaction chain. There are simpler or more paranoid ways to do it, and of course in Bitcoin world it is inviduals responsibility to handle his own coins.

Edit: think about how someone would try to connect the transactions: timing, amounts, etc.

I find it pretty annoying that there seems to be lot of people with strong opinions about bitcoins, but who haven't really studied it that much...

Ah, well in the UK you have it much easier with the existence of the NHS, whether or not it covers all of your needs. As I'm sure you know, in the US if you don't have insurance, you don't really have much of anything--and due to the tax advantage setup to get insurance through one's employer, self-employed people get hit really hard with insurance.
