It's my impression that obtaining BTC isn't the interesting problem for most would-be launderers. After all, you just have to sell some CC #s or provide custom DDOS services or do whatever nefarious shit you do that makes laundering a good idea, and presto you have BTC. The real problem is trading those fat stacks of BTC for fast cars, palatial mansions, the intimate attentions of beautiful people, etc. without the fuzz connecting those riches back to the nefarious shit that earned them. That is, as for regular money laundering, the trick is make dirty funds clean. It's actually straightforward to obtain dirty funds in the first place, for a criminal.

If you want to learn to code, you might find it worthwhile to think up a real-life computing task you could use a program to automate, then write, say, a Firefox extension, a Python script, or a contribution to an existing codebase. This has the advantage over game programming in that:

* You can avoid all the interface baggage that comes with game programming. (unless, of course, this is what you're aiming to learn)

* You will be solving a real problem, instead of creating a fake one for people to solve.

For example, this project was how I first got my feet wet with python: http://www.nerdhow.com/uzblsms-a-way-to-browse-the-web-via-t...

I guess my point is that I learned (and am learning) how to program by treating code as means to an end, rather than learning to program just for the sake of programming.

FYI, there is no official standard video codec for WebRTC. For audio, the MTI codec is opus. For video, none has been chosen. So far, the two browsers that implement the WebRTC API have choose to support VP8, but that's not mandated by the standard.

> But psychiatry and psychology do not have much in common.

Psychiatry and psychology are branches of human psychology -- both rely on the study of human psychology for validation. And if human psychology were a rigorous, empirical science, people wouldn't be able to say, as you just have, the psychiatry and psychology do not have much in common.

Would you say the same thing about cosmology and particle physics? They're very different -- one studies events at the smallest possible scale, the other at the largest possible scale. But no one suggests that they're unrelated to either each other or to their parent field of physics. The reason is they're sciences.

> Psychiatrists are medicals doctors treating the organ "brain".

No, that's false -- you just described the field of neuroscience (except that neuroscience is more a research than a medical field at the moment). Psychiatrists are psychologists with a medical degree, they are not neuroscientists, and they treat the mind, not the brain.

> It's pretty much interchangeable with neuroscience.

Not remotely. Neuroscience studies the brain and nervous system, psychiatry is a branch of psychology that studies the mind.

Quote: "Psychiatry is the medical specialty devoted to the study, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of mental disorders."

Note the phrase "mental disorders," i.e. disorders of the mind. Not "brain disorders".
> Do you really believe that?

Yes, I do. It is how I think, and I think well enough of my coworkers that I believe they think the same. I wouldn't assume that they don't think that way without evidence of it, since that is a vile thing to assume.

Are there some people without this respect who are held in line merely by the law, or fear of losing their job? Sure, of course there are some people like that. The fact remains that a notion of property/possession exists for the rest of the population; for the people who are not defective in such a way.

Not everybody would steal from those around them if they thought they could get away with it. To be perfectly honest, I am rather suspicious of anyone who assumes that everybody would steal if given the chance.

So far lobbying, from MSFT amongst others, has prevented VP8 being declared a mandatory codec for VP8. On the other hand, Chrome and Firefox are only implementing free codecs (which right now means VP8) so inter operability with the Billions of deployed browser endpoints will require VP8 support.

I use Vim, both for writing code and as a chrome plugin, so I'm usually just hitting a few keys in normal mode, or whatever autocomplete tells me, with the occasional swipe at the trackpad.

Just because it works doesn't mean you should do it, or that anyone appreciates it.
Well, that's the thing. I happily stipulate that anyone that doesn't recognize that answering "strongly disagree" to "I think it is okay to steal office supplies" probably will not perform well on the job. Not so much due to the minor stealing issue, but more due to the inability to recognize this answer will never, ever get you hired (this is of course confounded with the people that decided the test and job is BS and they are willfully answering 'wrong').

We were all subjected to a test like this recently here. I'm talking most people have been here 5+ years. And suddenly my boss needs a test like this to figure out that I am introverted, that Bob likes to take charge, and so on??!!?!? Really? Fire that manager, if they are that incompetent. I refused to take the test, and fortunately my boss felt the same way and backed me 100%.

It's outrageous. You've observed my capabilities, you know I am great (or poor, or whatever), and suddenly I have to take a test where I am supposed to tell you if I am lonely, if I make friends, and so on. No. No. No.
The problem is the externalities. It's the same as with spam. Emailing 1000 recipients is free, and there might be 1% that actually appreciates the email.

Don't think of the stock market as being limited to buying Company A vs. B. You have access to other asset classes (bonds/commodities/emerging markets) through mutual funds and ETFs.

Building wealth is a long-term thing. Understanding what you're buying and knowing what your goals are will be key to building your assets so you gain access to the more interesting investment options (rental properties, hedge funds, etc).

Note, I said more 'interesting', not necessarily better.

Good luck.

Is this an accurate description of what you mean by a cognitive ability test? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cognitive_Abilities_Test

If so, under which circumstances are they used? For a graphic designer, the natural "test" would be for fellow graphic designers and potential managers to look at an applicant's work samples, or to ask them to produce one. This method directly tests the applicant's ability to do the type of job, although there is no objective metric. You are relying on people's subjective assessment. How do cognitive ability tests compare?

Okay, that is the MMPI. That is not evidence that any test that is not the MMPI cannot be gamed. The MMPI (and I disgree with it in so many ways) was researched and tested for decades, and perhaps they can detect lying. Perhaps. I don't buy that any lesser test cannot be easily gamed absent a heck of a lot of experimental evidence for that specific test.

"... who likes to code."

What language does she prefer? Does she prefer complexity or simplicity? Is her code verbose or terse? So many questions.

Does any of this matter? If you're into coding, then the answer is "Yes", in my opinion. In fact, when it comes to software, I really do not care about what the coder looks like, what clothes the coder wears, the coder's personality type, etc. In evaluating software, these things are all irrelevant to me. I only care about the coder's code sensibilities and tastes, and the quality of the code.

Anyway, can we see any code samples to back up her statement? I will believe it when I see the evidence.

No matter what he says or does in real life, and even if he wears cheap suits and ugly ties, I will always have an appreciation of one well-known, former CEO as a coder. Because lex is one of my favorite programs.

The article doesn't touch one service that can be, and is used regularly by people that want to stay anonymous with Bitcoin and yet cash out - mixing services. You can essentially lose the block chain trail using them. Say you have money on address A, and want to deposit it to address B. Mixing service gives you a deposit address X, and also controls a totally unrelated (not "tainted", i.e. there are no shared inputs outputs between the two) address Y). So it goes like this:

A --> X . . . Y --> B

Using this there is no way to tell that A is connected to B.
I specifically carved out enterprise software and developer tools--I think this mostly applies to consumer Internet.

As mentioned, Google is a good counterexample. Groupon and Foursquare very much touch the real world. I'd argue Yahoo made a mistake of not being enough in touch with the real world. Tumblr and Twitter are also reasonable counterexamples, although both were started before I think this trend became very strong.
Bitcoin cashing out is simple. Use different addresses to receive, use coincontrol program, use a mixing service or just start a front company to launder. Could also change into litecoins and cash them out
Funny how the ruling says "if the texter knows, or has special reason to know, the recipient will view the text while driving” yet most of the public reactions are complaints specifically about not knowing that the recipient will view the text while driving.

Groupon and FourSquare both clearly fit. As does Yahoo with its publishing. The rest all at least arguably fit in developer tools (except admob and tumblr). Twitter facilitates live reporting of events.

This is a misunderstanding of the purpose of a text. I can see where the judges are coming from, as the sender of the text if i'm actively aware that the recipient is driving, I should not cause them to become distracted. However I adamantly disagree with the details.

If the issue was over a voice call, i might consider their logic, but the point of a text is to provide a passive way to send a message. There is nothing compelling the driver to answer that text immediately. In fact, if I know the person is driving, and I need to convey a message. Text is actually the BEST way to communicate as they can still receive the message without interrupting their driving.

If the driver decides to look at the phone while the vehicle is moving. It was a decision they made.
I've used and jammed on several live-programming environments for sound in Common Lisp and scheme over the years. I like the style of language particularly for those reasons because you can reach a point where you're not programming functions that operate on primitive data structures anymore (although that is what is ultimately executed); you begin to develop a language that makes sense for describing musical processes. And that's just easier to reason about.

Nice link! :)
Hmmm... The similar components are suggested using all of the tags for a particular item. So if it is tagged as 'combo-box', 'bootstrap' then it is equally probable that a date-picker which is also tagged with 'bootstrap' would show up in similar components. I'll look at how I can fine tune this.

As for needing to go to home page to check out other tags, you can search for components from any page and in future i'll be providing options to do a search like '[bootstrap]' to get all the items tagged with 'bootstrap'.

Hopefully fixing the search box and the similar items box should resolve most of your issues.
Me today: I don't get social networking. Me as a teenager: social interactions on the internet--so cool and interesting.

My hypothesis: social networks create a virtual world where we can construct the identity we hoped to construct. However as these networks age, mistakes in that identity come more often and suddenly that identity isn't so pristine. You can extrapolate this to anything that is on the internet and social from a simple forum to facebook.

Now recent attempts are "hey, let's just delete stuff and that will model reality a bit better" but it doesn't. You've just changed the rules to an alternate virtual world, not necessarily made the virtual reality.

My conclusion is therefore in order for you to experience life as reality you should stop trying to rely on a virtual copy to emulate those same experiences.

When my friends get on their phones and computers and are so intent and focus on their digital identity, they can't experience what is real. The conversation is boring. The conversation exists in a digital virtual world that I'm not part of because I (now) refuse to export all of my time and experiences to that virtual world.

I was lucky to learn these lessons as a child as the internet had just taken off and I (being a teenager) took advantage of everything it had to offer from online gaming to working internationally with others around the world. When meeting in real life, however, things felt a bit strange. It was like two strangers that were previously friends had finally had a real-world interaction. The awkwardness now became how to do we reconcile are real-world-selves with the virtual-selves we've known. The sad truth was that we couldn't easily. The internet allowed us to only focus on what we found important and ignore the rest of reality. I feel that more and more people are falling into this trap and it will be a rude awakening for them when they are much older.

So is there a desire for such virtual worlds? Obviously yes. But the real question we should be asking ourselves is should we continuously be trying to feed that desire?
Technically these guys are all talking about emacs as a CLI not as an OS.

Think of them this way: they don't test your personality, they test whether you know what the obviously correct answers are for a personality screening test.

Now imagine what must be going through someone's head when they answer "never/strongly disagree" to the question "How often do you try to treat customers and coworkers with respect?" and the tests start to make a little more sense as a screening mechanism.

36 Tips for the College Freshman - From UPenn students
In the periodic table of (chemistry) elements, there are all sorts of patterns. Metals all cluster together. The noble gases (elements that don't react with much of anything) all live over on the right hand side in one column. Corrosive things like oxygen, chlorine, fluorine, etc. appear vertically above one another. The element right below a given place in the table most often has properties very similar to the one above it (but probably more so). The number of columns in the table has a specific meaning.

Most significantly for chemistry, when the structure of the table was first figured out, it was full of obvious empty slots. Those predicted the existence of previously unknown elements, all of which were subsequently discovered. We are still filling in the bottom row...Element 115 just this week, in fact. Are there more rows in the periodic table? Maybe---if the proposed "island of stability" exists: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Island_of_stability
Real estate is "real world" in big way. Most American's have majority of net worth in home/equity. As an industry, it remains terribly inefficient with incompetent Realtors costing users (consumers) real dollars. Billions of dollars of real estate each year is transacted using Realtors who do less than 1 sale per month, have limited market knowledge, no credential deeming them worthy negotiators, etc.

What is the "uber of real estate"?

Zillow & Trulia are just content sites that afford advertising opportunities to Realtors. Redfin will never achieve mass because sophisticated buyers & sellers will not---nor should they---trust these industry newbies with such responsibility.

I like to train in mixed martial arts. Judo/Boxing/BJJ/etc. It's a good way to get in shape that also offers a steep intellectual and physical challenge. At least, they're both similar in that people usually compliment each other on how much technique they have.

I've noticed a correlation with programmers that train. The crazier the languages they like the better grapplers they are, yet DevOps types lean toward striking. Don't think it makes any sense though.
