Amazing answer!, unfortunately 'this is not a good fit for our Q&A format'.
The book is largely aimed at adults, I believe. The message is "you, the reader (and I, the author): remember that you were once a child. Remember what you've forgotten. Don't be like those I have criticized here. Live".
If that was even remotely true, than those poor, overworked, and abused family men could just get management jobs... Do less work and get paid more! Problem solved.

FindTheBest destroys “matchmaking” patent, pushes RICO case against troll
> there's a lot of girls sending him naked pictures and telling him how much they love him

Some women just have really broken status filters. They're attracted to guys with high status, and ignore the fact that he achieved that through evil means. It's the same thing that causes women to fall in love with convicted murderers serving life sentences.

From his vice interview:

A lot of people send the naked pictures to get jobs in the adult industry, too. But the one thing they have in common is they’re fucking retarded. That’s the similarity. They’re just stupid people. All I really do is take advantage of them; it’s just them being fucking retarded.

I am surprised that people are acting like this high school creative writing assignment bears any resemblance to reality.
Can you please explain what any of those has anything to do with showing nudity and sex on daytime TV?
A Coding for Interviews [1] group member mentioned that reading through the Java collections library [2] was the most valuable step he took while preparing for his Google interviews.

In addition to getting a better understanding the standard data structures, hearing a candidate say "well the Java collections library uses this strategy..." is a strong positive signal.

Part of the problem is that loneliness has a terrible feedback loop. Isolation makes you bitter and desperate and then nobody wants to be around you. Do it too long and your culture starts diverging from the main and connecting with new people is like crossing a river.
No, I don't think anyone will be able to stop the proliferation of anonymous networks and currencies.

I think there will be negatives in that world too. The whole thing is too big for me to even reflect on. I'm not a cyberpunk.
I like it - it installed easily enough on Mac. I started browsing around.

I really do not have a quibble with the application itself - nor the intended use. Thank you for it I am enjoying playing around with it and am following the project on github.

Echoing others I would definately fix the license issue - and do that sooner than later.

I have a tangental interest - forgive me if the following is off topic.

The last line from the deck:
"It requires zero infrastructure"
and similar statements in the website got me thinking along a theme.

I get that this is a distributed application with encrypted transmission - but it does imply an infrastructure. Once you need an IP; you need a network.

I can see lots of applications for this - beyond the reddit/bittorrent model, this would be really useful
- aftermath of a hurricane / natural disaster
- Occupy wallstreet style demonstrations
- Cory Doctorow "Little brother" scenario
- etc - any situation where you want ad hoc, encrypted community

the problem with those situations is exactly that there is no infrastructure (or not a trusted infrastructure).

Locally (for me) there are projects like http://www.milemesh.com/ to try and make sure there are networks for emergency situations. But what if you don't wnat to use an official or semi-official network? Are there distibuted, ad hoc network projects that would work well with this?

Thanks for the response.

I just dug up an interesting and relevant bit of history. Here is, to my knowledge, the very first response, ever, to the original bitcoin proposal on the cryptography mailing list:

http://www.mail-archive.com/cryptography@metzdowd.com/msg099...

"For transferable proof of work tokens to have value, they must have monetary value. To have monetary value, they must be transferred within a very large network - for example a file trading network akin to bittorrent.

To detect and reject a double spending event in a timely manner, one must have most past transactions of the coins in the transaction, which, naively implemented, requires each peer to have most past transactions, or most past transactions that occurred recently. If hundreds of millions of people are doing transactions, that is a lot of bandwidth - each must know all, or a substantial part thereof."

So it appears the timeliness of verification on a large scale was possibly the very first concern ever voiced about bitcoin.
OP should've used logarithmic half open intervals.

Also there are gaps. Where is 5.5, 10.5. Bad poll.

Very nice summary.

I encountered many of these while reading through Understanding The Linux Kernel [0] and The Linux Programming Interface [1].

Both are great books which are primarily about the "how" of the kernel, but cover a lot of the "why" of the design and algorithms as well.

That is not what structuring is at all. Structuring is conducting transactions in a way that will avoid triggering reporting requirements. If the legislation in your country requires financial services providers to report any cash transaction greater than or equal to say, $10,000, and you go and deposit $9500 five times with the sole purpose being to avoid these reporting requirements, then you are in breach of structuring laws. That's it. It has nothing to do with the legality or otherwise of the source of your money.

Also, money laundering is not about forbidding buying bad things. In fact, it's entirely the opposite. It's about buying legal things to hide the proceeds of crime.
Thanks for the interest.

> Echoing others I would definately fix the license issue - and do that sooner than later.

Agreed.

> The last line from the deck: "It requires zero infrastructure" and similar statements in the website got me thinking along a theme.

Zero infrastructure except a working internet connection. But far as I know those mesh networks also work over IP (at least they seem to) so Aether should have no problems working over a mesh network.

The infrastructure need not be trusted— the current Internet infrastructure is not trusted, and it works fine for most applications if used with HTTPS. Aether isn't too different, I'm literally encrypting with the same encryption suite (TLSv1) even.
Very much so. Most people would be on the right track if they were to hide from most of what the modern world has to offer.
I find the "8000 years" claim in the parent comment to be interesting. My understanding is that it is false, and that metallic money is a way, in which armies impose themselves over populations. This talk by anthropologist David Graeber illustrates my point http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CZIINXhGDcs
Including yourself in a study is fairly routine. The rules for human experimentation - at least for some categories of psych studies - are a lot more lax when it comes to self-experimentation.

The family thing was probably an approved part of the study. When looking for something with a suspected genetic component it makes a lot of sense.
It is more than remotely true; it's manifestly true. As Reagan should have said, management is not the solution; it's often the problem.
It's very unlikely that it's Neal King. He doesn't fit the profile at all, and his patent doesn't have anything to do with Bitcoin.
> I see no reason why the discoverer's naming deserves any special status.

At its most basic, this is one of the main currencies of science. Remember what happened with apatosaurus / brontosaurus?

This is a practice that most people will agree without persuasion is "fair", that certain people care about a great deal, and that costs society nothing. What's wrong with it?
This is completely true. One thing that can break the feedback loop is to tap into something that made you happy when you were young and then find some group that does that activity.One thing I do is skateboard at a public park. Everyone is very individualistic so it appeals to that personality trait but at the same time you're loosely part of a group and engaged in an activity that inherently fires endorphins. This definitely secretes over when I'm outside of that environment.
Vimperator has a limited normal mode for textboxes, called "textarea mode". Press ctrl+t when in a textbox, and you can then use the usual vim movement/editing commands on the text. However it's far from a full implementation of vim editing, and is a bit buggy.

edit: It looks like the maintainer has sort of abandoned that feature, though, at least as of 2010, http://www.mozdev.org/pipermail/vimperator/2010-May/005475.h...

"Does the phrase being searched occur in a parseable sentence?"

- that's just an insane thing to suggest, that would exclude much of the world's poetry, lyrics (I'm looking at you Icona Pop), code, etc etc etc. What does it even mean "to parse" in this context.

"it's trivial to deduce that the text doesn't display" - for that example it might be, but in general it's anything but trivial.
In my opinion we are to close to this picture for comfort. http://i.imgur.com/rTXSQ.jpg
I know it doesn't add anything to this discussion, but I must say, your reply is very articulate and elegant. What kind of books are you reading, if you don't mind my asking?
Yeah, a constructor would largely handle that. And if you use a closure/module pattern, you could put a little "console = window.console.stream('moduleName')" at the top of the module as a quick way to customize the methods from that console. It might be nice to be able to prefix messages with the relevant stream name too.
Ireland has been a Christian country since the 800s or thereabouts. It legalised contraception sometime in the 80s, divorce in the 90s and will have gay marriage some time this decade. None of these things are compatible with Christianity as it has been understood for most of its existence.

Culture can move very fast. In 100 years if there's anyone close enough to look at us as people rather than precursors they will be revolted that we ate dead animal flesh and stuck children in rooms eight hours a day five days a week and sent them back if they left.
It was very easy to setup too, and they have immediate feedback if you have problems. We're currently using it at my workplace and loving it.
Actually, supporting someone for shaming women because it furthers the goal of creating a society in which women are no longer shamed is more like supporting serial killers because the the publicity they draw helps people feel more strongly about the sanctity of human life.

> Perhaps Schwan created 261 times more value for the company than the lowest paid employee.

Or perhaps people who decide how much Schwan was offered have incentives other than how much money he'd provide for the company.
You are right and here's why:

Brainwallet inputs -> public keys are deterministic. It's true that the method of creating the key pair is as much of a password as the password, it's easy to select the most common methods (sha-256 hashes, bitaddress.org's method, etc.)

I cracked thousands of passwords for the https://keybase.io/warp competition (I lost by a few minutes... the answer to the top one is Je).

Once you have those public, private key pairs you can simply make an index of them and watch the blockchain for any of them to show up.

Do you use the same logic for political leaders?
I find it hard to even muster anger at Moore and his followers. Moore is likely a psychopath, his followers are psychopaths and/or 13-year-olds, and it's hard for me to see those organisms as anything but a devastating force of nature. They need to be stopped from hurting people, but my emotional response to them is much like my response to malaria or HIV.

No, the people who make me angry are the ones like that principal.

The ironic thing is that most societies in history at most points in time would look at the presence of porn on TV itself as cultural degradation, and the opposition to it as a sign of maintaining proper cultural standards.

Which is not to say that view is right, but it illustrates that throwing around a term like "cultural degradation" at all can be quite problematic.
While I agree with the decision to support iOS 6 and up, I believe Android upgrade paths aren't as clear cut. I'm working on a project with China-designed phones and many of them are using older versions of Android as a point of product differentiation.

Hope it's something you guys will reconsider.

If you don't want to go to church, many church communities have activities outside the services proper and often away from the church that you can become involved in. Those might be easier to participate in. For instance, in the area I'm in, the local Roman Catholic community has a young adult group. They do the bible study things, but also pure social activities and service activities. Joining that group led to joining a soccer team which greatly expanded my social circle in the area outside of coworkers (all much older than me at that job, 20+ years) and a small group of RPG buddies. Who I mostly didn't interact with outside the Saturday game, again mostly the age difference. Two were 5-10 years younger, the rest were 10-20 years older.

Name. And. Shame.

I wish some enterprising young kids in the tech community could work out a technical or collective solution to the problem of patent trolls. They would be asking for punishment, to be sure. But I bet there are some really cool things that can be done here.

* One naive idea: a subscription-based nonprofit that pools legal expenses and member patent portfolios and fights defensive cases on behalf of startups and small businesses. The more such companies that join, the more formidable its portfolio would become.

* Another naive idea: publish information about patent cases underway in areas of the world that fall outside of the jurisdiction of a court imposing an injunction. I'm guessing this would need to be done by a third party so as not to prejudice the case of the business being sued by the troll, but I'm not a lawyer.

Most churches would (or should) welcome a non-believer! Going to church in your situation would not be sneaky or deceitful. Even if you are very very very sure that the service is not going to make you into a Christian, that does not matter since the church will be pretty sure of the opposite. Plus you're not taking anything away from anyone, there is no reason to feel guilty.

As shorthand advice: try to find a mission church in your area. A mission church expects newcomers from the area and should be welcoming. If on the off chance the church you attend feels unwelcoming for any reason you should try a different church. All churches are run by sinful humans and sometimes that works out better than others, sometimes not.
I'm on fat0wl's train out of here. Previously I gave you guys the respect of honest antagonism. The quackery of bitcoin is so obviously ludicrous I can no longer justify my time spent pointing it out.

Don't you dare say no one warned you when the whole thing comes crashing down.

And yes, fine, whatever, you can say "toldya so" all you like when Bitcoin fulfills your fantastic greed and you lot join the 1% of your new capitalist utopia. Real moral high ground you'll have, then.

At the risk of sounding positive, I've found therapy to not be a waste of time, despite therapists being generally mediocre.

As long as they're not an asshole, having someone listen to you and prompt you with questions is incredibly therapeutic. It also helps immensely that you can be confident about your privacy. Just getting it out sometimes is what you need. None of the therapists I dealt with when going through anxiety/depression issues really grokked what was going on in my head (my impression, but perhaps, like a parent, they really did know all along). However, a few 45 minute sessions of speaking and prompting got things off my chest, and my mind redirected on far more positive things than "I'm not good enough", "I'm going to die alone", "No one would miss me if I didn't wake up tomorrow" and other delightful thoughts.
Someone get on that, please.

Follow the instructions on the dmg. After you drag it to Applications, go to Applications and right click on Aether, then select open. It will then allow you to go through.
of course it's not immoral, but it may be dumb. There are "church people" everywhere, you don't need to go and listen to people doing something you hate to meet them.

However, my recommendation would be forget this idea of "church people" you have, it sounds unhealthy to me. Less labels.
