Ross Ulbricht failed at this completely throughout his underground career.

That's a bit of revisionism. It turned out that he made mistakes, which in hindsight now make his identity seem 'obvious', but it took some time for his identity to become known, despite DPR & SR being very high-profile targets for many different people.

If he really had been rubbish at this, his identity would have been known so much sooner.

> And, Satoshi wouldn't need Silk Road to be fantastically rich in Bitcoins. As far as we know, he's got a vast swath of the first mined Bitcoins, even if he gave away most of it. (Which is possibly how Satoshi's identity will be revealed...if suddenly there's a new trillionaire in the world in five years...well, might be Satoshi.)

Out of interest, aren't Satoshi's coins all held in a small number of wallets, so people will immediately see if anyone tries to use them? Presumably, this would provoke a crash in bitcoin prices.
yea i gave this a go as well
I remember watching the "Hale-Bopp object" fiasco unfold in real time. It's really quite surreal to think about. A person takes a completely innocent picture and it contains a perfectly typical example of CCD bleeding from a background star. And yet in the hands of someone filled with ignorance and a willingness toward self-delusion they are able to convince themselves that it is in fact a picture of an alien space ship trailing the comet. And many other people fall into the same delusion despite many people trying to correct their misperceptions.

And then other folks who have been stewing in their own brand of delusion mix this new delusion with their own eventually leading to mass suicide.

It makes you think about the importance of critical reasoning skills.
I agree. I used to go to a therapists for depression and it helped a lot just talk but it was also like having a coach that gave you social exercises (starting small). I have a lot of friends but I feel like I can open up more to my therapists.
A town in my state had a similar case where a family of 5 including 3 children committed suicide ( 3 survivors) by consuming poison [1]. Motive? Apparently, they wished to meet Lord Shiva after their death. They even made a video of it where each one was very delighted before the act. In India, lunacy in name of religion is not uncommon but I was deeply disappointed by the kind of foolishness that prevails in my country even with fairly educated people. However, it is surprising how such an incident could happen in US in name of some Sci-Fi Heaven-Earth bullshit.

When would transactions not constitute a link?
I agree with you completely. But in the meantime, mainstream media have started picking the story (omg shocking), which will surely have an effect on the price of Bitcoins. I wonder if the authors are planning to take advantage of this.

I couldn't find anything on pricing and availability, but, despite my enthusiasm for Windows-proof servers, I am not sure if having a lot of discrete servers in a 3U enclosure is better than having a lot of containers running on, say, 3 1U servers. Containers (or even VMs) are much more manageable than 48 physically distinct machines (to say nothing of having 4 on each board, meaning an upgrade or defect on one means needles downtime for three others).

If we could turn it into a NUMA machine with 48 CPUs, that would be a totally different story.
Great question. The short answer is that there are many social goods which are only available when people of like mind are in the same physical location. Among other things:

1) Walkable communities where everyone has some things in common are extremely popular (e.g. college).

2) By contrast, today many of us live corridored lives in anonymous apartment complexes, knowing more people at work than at home. Just from an efficiency perspective, that is a huge waste of time and life. Every single person there has to do a commute (or get on the internet) to meet people they know.

3) The specific location that people end up concentrated at is unimportant. But being located near someone else will be extremely important for the foreseeable future; among other things: you can't read body language, you can't yet easily collaborate on physical objects, and people can't yet reproduce over the internet :)

4) In more detail, it's a bit like dinner. Whether you meet your friends at place X or place Y doesn't matter. What matters is that you meet your friends in person. You could be more technically precise and say only the variance in location matters, and not really the mean (the specific spot on the surface of the earth).

Anyway, I have a much longer version of the essay (really, a short book) that I had to edit down which went into this and related qs. I'll post that at balajis.com soon.
Gitblit surely must be the git world's hidden gem. It's less "Githubby" in features, but stacks up really well to commercial offerings like GitStack or Atlassian Stash.

I had the similar "omg, it just works" experience.
IMO, "strongly questioning" the business strategies and code-cowboying - means that you as an employee are not aligned to the company's goals.
As a startup, they don't have the luxury to allow such people even if you are a smart, efficient developer. You also wasted a lot of their time. And from an entrepreneurial perspective, they do not want people who don't agree with their vision (if you challenged that).

I was a core team member and the best in a big-corporate when they decided to start off a new product. I too "strongly" questioned their plans - and had also backed that up with presentations, projections (and better EXCEL skills). They did not have a answers to my questions and said "Trust us, it will work". Slowly I got sidelined and one day "declared" as a pessimist in the project and that it was good to have my inputs. "Wow". It was just a nice way of saying STFU. 4 years later - my projections proved to be right, and the product is in a worse state than I had expected. But they still pump in money and sales is slowing moving it towards breakeven.

$70K and at 25 with no family, you have a decent runway - but not the most comfortable. If you try to be a minimalist and use it wisely (which is hard at 25), this will work out to be enough to startup.

However, before you do your startup - you need to mature a bit more about life and people in general. Life doesn't end at 29-30. $150k p.a. is not bad. Its okay to be ambitious, but learn to be grateful and respect yourself for what you have achieved. Those qualities will be required in a long journey of entrepreneurship. And you also have couple of years to allow yourself to fail, learn from it and start again.
In time new friends turn into the most important thing in life: old friends.
Sounds like a good way to get shot.
> What we really need is to start a PAC to abolish software patents and have everyone contribute money to it

Can we really outspend IBM and Microsoft? I saw something on hacker news last week that said a relatively minor patent reform bill died in the house thanks to those two companies (and 3M and many others but mainly IBM and Microsoft). Name. and shame.
Well, you're right about how independent probabilities combine. But the situation you describe has so little relationship to hiring that I don't see how it's relevant to anything. In general, I don't expect to see someone at the 2nd percentile of ability holding down a job at all. Even very basic screening will keep them away with great reliability, because they're so far out of the norm. So I don't see this as a case of "sure, I made up figures that might be off by a factor of 10-100", I see this as you describing a situation utterly unrelated to any aspect of reality I'm familiar with. You can't just make some numeric tweaks to the model; the whole thing is fundamentally at odds with what you're trying to describe.

Now, it's definitely not true that you have to be below the second percentile to get phished: http://www.locusmag.com/Perspectives/2010/05/cory-doctorow-p...

But if it were true, phishing would be largely a nonissue for workforces (other than the police, who often do set ultra-low thresholds for their screening).

It is written "there is no general availability" (even if they are shipping to selected partners).
I think there's a strong distinction between "the government can read everything unencrypted" and "the government has a horde of vulnerability researchers, and routinely infects huge numbers of computers with their code". For the sake of discussion, I will concede that the former was well-known. The latter, IMO, wasn't.

What more could people have done? Good question. Maybe try and contact investigative journalists, although I have had no luck doing that for an unrelated issue I feel strongly about (NBA game fixing).

Reading between the lines, you should be quite nervous about ending up living in a van down by the river (thank you, Chris Farley, rip) and you should forget completely about taking on the financial responsibility of starting a family.

Your plans B and C require surviving at a job for 2-3 and 5 years, but you wisely (good!) placed "clean up my act" in the conditional position of an IF form. Your sneering characterization of teamwork as "B-league office politics" means we are now in the ELSE branch in which you get terminated for cause two more times in the next six months and cannot defend your resume. You are an untouchable.

hth.
I like Sugru. Have used it for several things including padding and grips on my compact digital camera. My only complaint is that it has a short-ish shelf life though from what I understand, it can be extended by refrigeration. Its also somewhat costly (if you consider the amount you get).
Oh come on! Like if we had the ability to automate this sort of jobs we wouldn't have done it already. And outsourcing it's already done almost everywhere by now. Please, get a grip.
It's seems like we're in an interesting position at the moment.

On the one hand we have the experience of about 20 years of the web, >15 years of heavy internet usage, and so on. We've learned the various shortcomings of the systems that were originally put in place, and we've learned a lot of advanced techniques and technologies that can be brought to bear to build next generation versions of those systems.

On the other hand we are burdened with 20 years of backwards compatibility concerns and network effect, making replacement systems hard to deploy and gain traction. IPv6 perhaps being the poster child in that regard.
As a child (1960s) in a working class neighbourhood in the Liverpool area (UK), we lived in small terraced houses and lived very close to the neighbours. The children played in the road (hardly any cars) and in a park and on the beach (not the cleanest). During our long summer days (52.5 degrees North) we had the whole day down the beach. Basic safety: we stuck together and avoided strangers, but we spoke to known adults such as bargemen, ferrymen, train drivers, tug crew &c

Now I see children in nurseries behind substantial railings (safeguarding). They are protected from any contact with adults who are not in the immediate family. The family may or may not know the neighbours at all as modern housing seems to be designed to reduce contact - placement of doors &c. Playing on the street is impossible as your street is almost certainly a rat run for commuters.

I think I'm seeing real changes not just remembering my childhood with rose tinted glasses. I certainly see the effects in the 17/8 year olds I teach for one class. They have no idea about how adults live and communicate.
There are many different kinds of silicone epoxy/putty for repairs. I know a couple who repair antique lamps, furniture, and fixtures and their inventory of putties is humongous. This product marketed it well (by coloring it) and advertising it to non-carpenter/tradesmen folk.
Yes, good points. I was thinking of Bitcoin as an asset and not the numéraire, which to my mind changes the situation a bit - the problem suggested is that some 'undesirable' people will end up with too many Bitcoins and use them to manipulate the market. The Coase theorem points to this being as unlikely as it is for any other asset class. The bad actors will eventually get bought out if the putative damage they're doing is great enough - and, compared to the size of transaction implied, the costs will be small.
This is similar offering to SuperMicro 's MicroCloud. Except with ARM instead of x86.
As much as i love ARM and want them to succeed. I dont think there are any advantage of using ARM in Server apart from Cost. And Since ARM is still vastly under power for many Web Server Operation its time just isn't here. May be two - three years later when 64Bit ARM with EightCore Chip costing less then $50 dollars. But even so Intel's Atom would have a similar performance with similar price. According to some new test on the Soon to be available 8 Core Atom for Server it is surprisingly performance / watt.

To simply put, the server market has longed for a low power part for certain type of usage scenario. And Intel will soon has that covered.
One of the benefits of being an atheist IMO is not having to worry about unwittingly committing trivial sins. No one is keeping score.
"talented executives"

Oximoron at its best. But don't worry about those talented executives, you probably will find ten or more when they leave the country. Switzerland wouldn't have any problem attracting talented workers.
There's a million types of putties for various uses. They're usually not marketed largely because of their niche industrial use. Silicone isn't the only material either. Antique restorers will be more knowledgable about this kind of stuff than most people as different putties are used for different materials (bronze,copper,brass,wood,etc.)
Could someone explain what the utility of bubble sort is? I've read that even in cases where an O(nlogn) sort is impractical, insertion or selection sort is preferred.
I haven't had to deal with a virus for some time but the number of times I've formatted a hard drive and started again far outweigh the number of times I've removed viruses. These days, when machines don't come with the OS on a disk - often don't even come with the drivers on a disk - buying new tech could well be the cheaper option.
A form of cover that doesn't get you busted by the feds and thrown in jail?

Let's say I'm an expert killer who has assassinated dozens of people without being caught. Do I camouflage myself by doing a shitty job and getting sent to jail? Of course not, I keep doing an expert job because I'd rather not be in jail.
I can be in the game and interacting with my neighbours, co-workers, students to try to change things. I can combine with like minded people and try to amplify my influence. I can use the rather tinny megaphone the Internet gives me to spread critical thinking beyond my local environment (through the thin broth of text and argument as opposed to the rich stew of shared action and problem solving). In the process, I may have to compromise some of my thinking but not, I find, the core values.

Or I can sit out the game and polish my wellness.

I think the former is better for me.
With 8GB of ram, I'd assume that they are 64bit.
Bubble sort is good for sorting particles in a particle system. Particles need to be drawn from the furthest from the camera to the closest to the camera.

Each frame the particles move a little bit, and the camera moves a little bit.

That means that in a given frame most, if not all, of the particles are probably already sorted. In addition, if the sort order has changed, it's probably only requires swaps of adjacent particles.

Because of this, bubble sort is often best sort to use for this operation.
I hear a lot of talk about agile these days but it all looks like waterfall to me. The development and QA teams need to do whatever it takes to support the business, including dealing with the fact that go-live has magical powers to generate change requests. QA is part of the team, so do what you can to support change right up to the last minute.
I think I would prefer to work with "assholes"-only if they could get the job done, because a lot of these non-"assholes" are only good at bullshitting their way out of responsibility.

I would prefer to have a person say to my face that he thinks I'm an idiot than to have one being nice to me and stab me in the back.

How social a person is one thing, how good a person is is totally different.

Looks pretty but isn't very practical. E.g. why is the 'webfonts' label way off the screen from the point it is first implemented? How do I see what features were implemented in a particular browser version? Why is there a massive text banner in front of the screen shots of different browser versions?
Docker depends on a bunch of kernel features that are not available in RHEL/CentOS/SL. I think specifically it's the filesystem stuff. As to Debian, I think even that lags behind Ubuntu enough that it is not possible.

Edit: Was easy enough to google: http://docs.docker.io/en/latest/installation/kernel/

In short, Docker has the following kernel requirements:

Linux version 3.8 or above.
AUFS support.
Cgroups and namespaces must be enabled.
Interesting graph if it were accurate. The healthcare.gov stuff seems like jokes, right? That makes it seem less accurate. What else in the graph is a joke? E.g. can car software really have more lines of code than a boeing 787, operating systems, and the LHC?
It says it's got Marvell Armada XP CPUs, which are ARMv7 CPUs, therefore 32-bit instruction set (the 64-bit instruction set was introduced in ARMv8).

You are apparently not aware of the fact that for the better part of 15 years, Norwegian girls and boys have been using various websites to post nude pictures of themselves to the public. En masse. We literally have a nude library of most of my own generation and many following mine.

There are shame sites causing pains for girls here, too, but we have no such culture of which your speak where nude pictures is some big deal (once out of high school.)
Big promises can lead to better experiences
The most surprising item in the list to me is Visual Studio 2012 with 50M LoC (healthcare.gov might considered ridiculous, but after all we observed, it is not surprising at all) .

This is by far, more than I can imagine needed for the most sophisticated IDE one will ever need.

It might includes all compilers for all supported languages though.

My opinion, as an atheist who finds personal religiosity quite boring... is that most people who attend church do so for socialization rather than faith. Most people (not all) don't really know much about their own religion, they just participate in the rituals because that's what they've always done and they've had no reason to really question it.

I've observed that, but I've never understood it. I was raised to go to church on Sundays, but I found it about as enjoyable as going to prison. As a child, adults would tell me that someday I would start to like going to church, but it never happened. I seem to lack whatever gene makes people begin to like things and continue doing them just out of habit.

As an irony, I was a good student in CCD (Catholic education) and I probably possess more knowledge about Catholicism and Christianity than those habitual church-goers. I like to know things, but I can't stand the tedious rituals. It just shows that knowledge of religion and actually practicing it are not related or perhaps negatively correlated.
Tried installing it locally on my RaspberryPi - while the latter is already hard, this ended up being impossible. I stuck with gitolite which is the easiest ever. Even the configuration is a git repo.
What do the big semicircles with %s mean?
A distributed system might make sense. Build an API (could be a REST system with some basic conventions) that allows sites to vouch for the certs of certain other sites. The advantage is that you can then poll several sites to check the validity of a certain cert instead of being reliant on a single point of failure.

Alternately you could use arbitrary key signing which the original site presented up along with their cert.

It certainly seems preferable to the single-point-of-failure systems we have now.
