That is interesting. I have some doubts about their claim that this escapes regulation of escrow services (it sounds good, but their argument may not hold sway with regulators). But it seems like a very practical and useful system that shows the kind of thing that could ONLY be done with Bitcoin, and NOT with traditional money.

Wait, are you saying that artists rely just on Spotify for income? That would be foolhardy. I would think that Spotify would be just one small chunk in a wide portfolio of distribution channels.

Also, artists have generally never been very richly paid on music sales. Touring and merch are where the money's always been.

That article is about biphasic sleep cycles, not polyphasic.
It's still, in addition to being irresponsibly badly worded, inaccurate.

Tyenol's own research suggests an LD50 for dogs of around 1180–1450mg/kg. In other words, you'd only need around 30,000mg to probably kill a medium sized dog within a short time period, which is about 375 "bait doses". Needless to say, they can "get into trouble" on smaller doses. The manufacturer considers less than 100 "bait doses" to be an "acute overdose" for an adult human.

Sure, the number of poisoned mice a dog would have to eat to suffer even mild liver poisoning is still far in excess of the number of mice a dog is likely to eat, so the implicit point that this isn't likely to poison local large mammals still stands. That doesn't excuse the lack of care in reporting those medical statistics on the part of the author/editor, however.

Blacks cannot advance if people like keep holding them to low expectations, low standards, excuse them out of responsibility, and keep telling them they're victims. You claim to stand against racism yet people like you with your head in the clouds are the ones who are indirectly helping it continue.

It's outrageous to accuse the Guardian of aiding terrorism
Well, one of the general elements of this approach WRT regulatory regimes is that there really is much less _justification_ for heavy regulation.

With a normal escrow the escrow must be trusted to hold all your money! With this approach they can only release with the consent and cooperation of one of the parties.

The lower trust means such a thing would be fundamentally more difficult to regulate too, since it can come and go, disappearing into the mists because not so much trust is required.

This was a huge point for me when using the old tablesorter script. They had a plugin called StaticRow that would allow you to add the "static" class to a tr tag and it didn't change when sorting. Did you guys implement that too?
A better way to say what I was getting at is that a web browser that finds itself with a silly window size might better serve the user by only using a portion of it for the viewport.

This way a page with no extra width styling still gets presented to the user in a sensible fashion. It's probably a looser coupling than insisting that every page anticipate and handle the screens it might be viewed on.
In general, if adding instructions makes a loop go faster, it's some sort of alignment issue.

Not necessarily. In the early days of the P6 core, I found a simple loop which would take either 4.0 or 5.33 cycles depending on the internal CPU state -- exactly the same code, but running with an iteration count of 10^6 would take either 4000000 cycles or 5333333 cycles.

I had the good fortune to talk to a member of the team which designed the P6 core, and we concluded that this was due to a quirk of the out-of-order scheduler: In order to reduce circuit depths, the mechanism for finding and dispatching runnable uops wouldn't always dispatch the earliest available uops, and so -- depending on how the incoming uops were aligned within an internal buffer -- the P6 core would sometimes take a stream of instructions which could be executed in-order without pipeline stalls and run them out-of-order with less ILP.

In short, OOO cores are weird and horribly complicated and completely untrustworthy where performance is concerned.

My high school administrators approached underage drinking like a secret police force.

There were skilled interrogators, effective emotional manipulation, good-cop-bad-cop routines, physical intimidation, etc. There was an administrative employee built like a tank who would be sent to (very publicly) collect suspects from their classrooms for interrogation.

They made plea bargains (which they sometimes didn't honor) for informing on others.

They performed social engineering attacks to increase their signals intelligence capabilities - give us a look at your Facebook account (or just hand over your password), identify these (pseudonymous) Tumblr URLs, etc. and we won't destroy your future by calling your college and having your admission rescinded.

They made deals and adjusted punishments based on whether or not you would identify photographs.

When there were reports of drinking on one of the international class trips (to a country with a low drinking age) they rounded up and interrogated everyone from all of the foreign trips. A good portion of the senior class confessed and was suspended. Because some people ordered wine with dinner in France.

If a party was busted by the village police, they'd brethalyze and ticket every single person, then notify the school - which would kick them out of their current extracurricular activity for the remainder of the season/play.

I turned 18 and went to college. We were taught about responsible drinking - extensive lessons on consent, standard drink sizing, alcohol poisoning, etc. And we were told that administration and the university police are concerned only with safety and noise. RAs know about parties in the dorms (in fact, they have to be registered and neighbors are given a chance to veto if they have a test the next day or something) and do not care. The university police shut down apartment parties for noise complaints but make no inquiries as to the ages or intoxication of the partygoers.

So, to answer your rhetorical question: that. That is going to happen to them when they turn 18. Authority will stop caring about bullshit.
How is that the only other option? How about college for those that will increase their economic productivity beyond the added cost?
I might say that Notch is the best kind of coder, for what his goals are. Notch is, really, a game designer. The goal of a game designer is to iterate a set of rules and mechanics until something fun is tracked down ("fun" is sort of the "product-market fit" of game development.) in the process, they may create prototypes that allow them, or others, to play-test the rules/mechanics, but that prototype is not the output product of the game-designer's work, the ruleset itself is.

Now, frequently, a game-designer may also be a game-developer (someone who takes a ruleset that's already known to be fun, and builds a solid game engine to enshrine its behaviors), and a game UX designer besides. But this doesn't have to be the case. Miyamoto doesn't code or do UX. Will Wright doesn't code or do UX. And Notch should be in roughly the same category.

Obviously, there might be some dysfunction at Mojang that results in prototypes getting shipped instead of developed—but that's a separate issue.
I've seen, heard stories of, and worked with the self taught programmers out there with out the degree.

This is base on my experience, but most of them are bad. They lack vocabularies and such that when they try to convey what they're doing or what they want other people to do or hell just to communicate with the team it takes a fucking long time and in the end might not even get anything done. They also want to get shit done without thinking about any other possible solutions or the consequences of their chosen solution.

I've worked under one. From my imperfect memory, he basically ask to make the API to be as good as their competitor.

When I ask more questions to clarify it. The said programmer got frustrated and threw a tantrum. Eventually, I found out the asshole, who lack soft skills, just wanted a async call methods in the api from client to the server.

edit:
added most, because I'm sure there are a few exceptions out there.
There are skill shortages, just look to any job that pays over $100k. Data Scientists, Web Developers, Oil Rig Workers, Underwater welders, etc. The problem is that they arn't easy skills to learn or they arn't comfortable tasks to do.
Backed. Thanks for sharing the project.
In that case, it would be difficult for the programmer to reason about the memory usage of their use of substring().

This change lets programmers not worry about the implementation of substring() and memory leaks in return for linear runtime complexity.
You wouldn't NOOP-align the loop header, but instead replace the CALL instruction in the middle of the loop with an equivalent sequence of NOOPs. This would increase the distance between the loop header and the backward jump.
Because that model worked well when a person worked for a company for 10+ years -- and often an entire career. But now? It's a poor investment.

Of course, this, like many factors, is both a cause and an effect of this more fluid labor market.
You are correct, in that if you are talking about remedial programs, they would benefit those who have already failed (by the virtue of being remedial programs) to achieve something that is considered normal to achieve. However, if you're talking at general education programs, not specifically targeted and limited as remedial ones, I think my point still stands. I'm not saying remedial education is not important, but I think it's a different field - like a gym and a hospital, both aim for people to be healthy, but they address different populations by different means.

There's advocating a right out of thin air, and there's constructing a right out of existing doctrine: the Constitution, statute, court cases, "gloss" (prior court interpretation of all of the above).

See: legal construction:

http://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/Construction

Gloss is somewhat more ambiguously defined:
http://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/gloss

And I absolutely agree with you on Marbury v. Madison. That established the precedent of the Supreme Court to exercise judicial review and rule on constitutionality, which wasn't itself an enumerated power of the court:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marbury_v._Madison

However, neither Construction nor Marbury give the court sui generis powers -- at least not usually, nor without a great deal of discomfit. I seem to recall a case (Learned Hand? Oliver Wendell Holmes?) where some pretty broad leaps were made.

Where the grandparent said "employers think college degrees are more valuable than they probably are," you've highlighted the disconnect between what employers think they're getting from a college grad (certain skills) and what colleges actually do (teach students to think, to learn, to read).

That's not High School 2.0. In fact, High School seems to be the right place for vocational training. It's the pinnacle of state-mandated schooling, and in fact includes vocational requirements. Some schools implement that as wood shop. Others focus so completely on teaching computer skills they become a "magnet school" for that one thing only.

Unskilled work is disappearing and simultaneously employers are demanding more unskilled laborers. The work is disappearing because it's cheaper to have a machine do it flawlessly. The employers don't want skilled labor...labor versus capital all over again.

For a while yet, it may be possible to become really skilled in computing and successfully straddle the divide: make enough money to be comfortable as a skilled laborer. But I think it would be wise for _colleges_ to cross-train all their Science/Engineering students in business.

Colleges (traditionally) focus on the whole person. A person with business skills, connections, and potential funding becomes the new bar for entry. I'm always thankful my professors took the time to do that last part: take us (a team of students) into the real world.
Don't you always have to pad back with nops (0x90) since the scheduler might be looking ahead for other instructions to execute (or maybe not, since it's seeing jmp back). Just wildly guessing here...
I was you 12 years ago.

The odds are still against you. You will lose opportunities due to credentialism. The best bet is to become better than your peers and be in the top 5% of the talent pool. When you work with someone who really knows their shit, shadow them.

The better bet is to eventually go independent once you know you're more towards the top of the heap. Years ago, a McKinsey subsidiary ultimately ruled me out due to a lack of degree. Nowadays they're a customer and have no problem subcontracting me out, because "I run my own business" and a proven track record is just as sufficient as the degree they otherwise look for.
2. Artist’s Spotify streams divided by total Spotify streams

This calculates an artist’s popularity on the service, their
“market share.” Dividing an artist’s streams by the total
streams on Spotify determines the percentage of our total
pay-outs that should be paid for that artist’s rights.

This sucks bigtime. Why should artists that I never listen to receive any of my monthly subscription? This portion of the calculation should be done on a per subscription basis.
