If you've been paying attention for the last three years, almost everyone thought the US government would crack down on bitcoin with a vengence, satoshi very well may have been genuinely fearful of the ramifications of his software.

It is also possible that satoshi is a group of people and not a person.

Lastly, the idiosyncratic nature of someone who spends their time on crypto mailing lists and making crypto currency is likely to take privacy seriously for its own sake.

A better question might be, why would satoshi want to be found out?
So what if it is? Even if the uPnP daemon on that router is so broken that it responds to requests from the WAN that configure forwarding rules for machines on the LAN, how is this less secure than having a publicly routable IP for every one of the machines on the LAN?

To answer your question, assume that "correctly" is at least as secure as the default Windows Firewall configuration (with user-entered exceptions for video games and whatnot).
Extremely likely. I've seen the rsyslog daemon die randomly many times, for example. Whereas in 6+ years of using Nginx I've never seen it fall over a single time. Web serving is usually a primary purpose for a server. You do not want your web site to be down just because the machine's syslog daemon died.
Unintentionally, yes, that's the problem.

This just seems wrong. You can be a contributer to the community but not the public community. You can contribute within your organization and still use the latest and greatest technologies if you choose. You can talk and collaborate on many development topics.

I work with other developers and we are constantly collaborating on ideas and technology. I don't believe that makes me a "Dark Matter Developer" because I don't share those conversations publicly.

Well, they're best off ordering online not because of "stuff like this" but that hopefully they have much better things to do with their time than standing in line and dealing with chaos when they don't have to.

I've seen some explanations that make it seem like subjective recognition of a quantum system in superposition is what caused it to decohere. The word "observed" doesn't imply interaction (to the lay-person, at least), so a term like "interacted with" would make things much clearer.

I think that's coming from the idea that the "ultimate value" of the BTC money supply should be ~$1 trillion (in order for it to replace real-world currencies in a significant fraction of transactions). 20,0000 Bitcoins is ~1/1000th of 21,000,000 potential Bitcoins.

Oh please, spare us the fake concern. systemd is just an init daemon doing what init daemons should have been doing for a long time. The only reason sysvinit didn't do this is because it was a nasty rats nest of shell scripts with absolutely zero introspection capability.

"Who watches the watchers" is such a silly question. Simple knowledge of the halting problem (and all other problems reducible to it) should inform you of how pointless it is to ask "what if" question like this. What if cosmic rays flip a critical bit in just the right way and cause the dialysis machine to explode? Who's gonna "watch" for that?

Things DO break. Having the init daemon do whatever it can to assist is just good sense.

Copies are inherently cheap. So cheap, that everyone on Earth could have one.

We have artificial scarcity of copies.

Many people could derive huge benefits (in the case of patented medicines, life!) if we hadn't artificially made the copies and drugs scarce.

Authorship is scarce, but copyrights only indirectly relate to authorship. They are an attempt to encourage authorship by restricting society. However, by banning derivative works, they also reduce authorship. By making copies an artificially scarce resource, they are derpiving society of most of the benefits of authorship.

There are other ways to give incentives for authorship besides depriving society of its benefits. Even if copyrights are applied, their application for hundreds of years is obscene. Empirically, many works of authorship got quite well funded without the support of copyrights.
Please do, that's why I shared it. :)

You're referring to the Galaxy Nexus, the Galaxy S has an SD card slot. The Nexus 4 and Nexus 5 also lack SD card slots.

As a Galaxy Nexus owner (it was my first Android phone) it was never an issue, as it has 16 GB of internal storage. I could install plenty of apps (including the four you mentioned) and cached a decent amount of music from Spotify.

I now own a Moto X, which doesn't have an SD card slot either.

This kind of job is unlikely to be conducive to deliberate practice. If your intention is to improve your understanding of algorithms, for example, practice implementing and analyzing algorithms at just above your current level. Here you have little control over your time, which is spread thin. You're on call all the time, so that your focus is fractionated. You may even become dependent on the short-term satisfaction you get from completing many small assignments without warning, while your peremptory, offensively smug manager unhelpfully demands that you explain why some internal web site isn't up to date (someone else left out an expiration date), and points out that if in the future you have to be reminded, the unconscionable error of omission must be immediately corrected; and by the way, a a slide show is needed for presentation by noon. Before you go, order software by 9 AM on your credit card if you have to and install it by 10AM--timing is crucial, only you find out the software company is a sole proprietorship in another time zone where it is 3 AM; get the online store running without the help of the retail people or any testing whatsoever with the payment gateway; and while you're at it do a quick PHP fix to the most elaborate routine in the system, not to mention a patch to the store because the US Postal Service modified its REST endpoint--without the patch no one can specify USPS shipping and only priority mail works, but site went down and you call the hosting facility to log a ticket (oops, a switch--a point of failure--failed). While you juggle mutually exclusive priorities, your manager's manager calls to explain that the users cannot upload videos on wifi connections using http--absolutely unacceptable: do something about this immediately! Without testing you attempt to install a gridFTP service, but installation requires the --skip-broken option in the yum package manager, which may or may not work; now it's 11 PM and you've been there since 8 AM, but you need to provide instructions to unsophisticated users who prefer moralizing to problem-solving, while you update the header of a web site by appending an image to an overgrown CSS sprite, but this is interrupted by a rude text in from your manager, whose insists that an extremely important email is nowhere in the 160,000 message inbox on his phone (he refuses to archive his mail)--it is your responsibility to explain why he didn't receive it; but he did receive it--you produce the delivery header, but as usual there is no response, except for an email that a home-grown DVD has to be produced, which means remembering photoshop macros to resize the borders to the right aspect ratio, only the deadline for the jQuery Mobile application is tomorrow...
Huh? He doesn't seem to like their business person, but based on this job ad, _who can blame him_?
Me neither. As it appears he have not premined any significant amount of bitcoins, so it's not like he is going to cash out. So the version, besides that he wants to be "hidden super character" may be that he was not allowed by some organization to reveal who made this breakthrough. It's not even clear if it was a single person. But even if it was by some organization, why hide? Maybe they didn't want bitcoins forever be associated with NSA for example, which would repulse people and led into believing that the organization controls the currency. But it still doesn't make much sense.

Since Satoshi seems to be heavily influenced by cypherpunk community, maybe it really is one person who just wanted the bitcoin really work and made everything that's the best for the currency? If so, one day, when bitcoin or it's derivative will be a thing on which the world economy depends, he will be the man of the year. Maybe he will even disclose his identity, since that will not have an effect on bitcoin itself any more.

Their parts presumably take about 22 weeks to manufacture and get to the end customer. They probably cannot afford to build the parts ahead of time and stock them, so they only kick off the factory once they receive the order.

In the case of small orders, manufacturers may wait to start a production run until enough orders have come in to make it worth it, which can mean long lead times for someone who only wants 100 of something

False. Homeless people are automatically given a diagnosis -- automatically and without consent -- in order to receive public assistance. You're living in a dream world. Modern psychology doesn't ask us what's wrong with us, it tells us. More evidence:

Not if he has any property -- his relatives will have him committed. You are very clearly not conversant with modern psychological practice.

The above abuses explain why the DSM is being abandoned, and by abandoning the DSM, society is rejecting all current psychological practice.

Quote: " While DSM has been described as a “Bible” for the field, it is, at best, a dictionary, creating a set of labels and defining each. The strength of each of the editions of DSM has been “reliability” – each edition has ensured that clinicians use the same terms in the same ways. The weakness is its lack of validity."

Sorry about just getting back to you. I'm not sure if this is a better way of handling integration, but you could have it implemented via a plugin (this is WordPress specific).

This way you can abstract away the redirection and not ask the user to add it themselves (thus having them thinking about it). The install is then the "magic".

There's a danger that this can be seen as dishonest, but as long as it explicitly states what it is doing in the plugin description I think that's understandable.

I probably wouldn't mind the redirection if it was abstracted away with a plugin install, it's just the minute that I had to think about what I was doing by writing to my .htaccess file that I had reservations.

Weird explanation.. but that's my thoughts.

> Psychology is certainly a science that has produced tons of repeatable results ...

False, and false. Psychology is not science (defined as a discipline steered by empirical evidence) and has not produced any repeatable, testable, empirical, falsifiable evidence or theories. Why? Because psychology's topic is the mind, and the mind is not -- cannot be -- a source for empirical evidence.

For psychology to become a science, it would have to study an empirical organ like the brain. Instead, psychology relies on self-reporting by the owners of the minds under study. This has always been, and is now, an impenetrable barrier to entry into the world of science.

Title: "Why psychology isn't science"

Link: http://articles.latimes.com/2012/jul/13/news/la-ol-blowback-...

Quote: "But to claim it [psychology] is 'science' is inaccurate. Actually, it's worse than that. It's an attempt to redefine science. Science, redefined, is no longer the empirical analysis of the natural world; instead, it is any topic that sprinkles a few numbers around. This is dangerous because, under such a loose definition, anything can qualify as science. And when anything qualifies as science, science can no longer claim to have a unique grasp on secular truth."

"That's why scientists dismiss psychologists. They're rightfully defending their intellectual turf."
> I can't fathom how one can reasonably argue that frequentist approaches are always inferior, even in applied statistics.

My original claim is broader than I wanted it to be. The fact is, a Frequentist approach will always be less accurate than the correct application of probability theory. But of course,

> Bayesians know that using probability theory correctly is sometimes intractable (combinatorial explosion and all that). In those cases, they will use approximations. But at least, they will know it's an approximation.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6793905

The key to the Bayesian outlook is to remember that no matter what, there is a correct answer, even if you can't afford to compute it. As Eliezer Yudkowsky put it, there are laws of thought. Want to use Frequentist tools? Sure, why not. Just remember that they often violate the laws of ideal though. Some inaccuracy inevitably ensues.
Cool Hack - Read Bottle Cap Code Without Opening Bottle (Featured on LifeHacker)
I should rephrase. 20 grand isn't much over the course of a few decades. It's a lot for a 20 something year old fresh out of school.

For someone in their 40s, having 20 grand available for such an investment isn't always the result of good fortune. It's a low enough sum that can be attributed merely to frugal living and smart financial decisions. It's easily the difference between packing a lunch instead of eating out every day throughout a career. It's the long term difference between driving used Hondas instead of new Hondas.

I understand there are plenty of people who don't have such choices, but I guarantee there are plenty of individuals here on HN that could squirrel away 20k a year if they really tried. Saving 20k over the next decade is well within the reach of most individuals.

Security, as always, is left as an exercise to the reader. You can close ports with a firewall, by not running services on that port or via NAT. I know which one I'd rather deal with.
