Unfortunately privilege is not black and white, as postmodern feminists seem to believe. Things aren't as simple as "white people prosper, black people suffer" or "men dash through the red carpet, women are forcefully held back".

There are a lot of factors and variables that determine privilege. Being a white man alone does not assure you success and consequently being a black woman alone does not assure you failure. How does white male privilege help the social outcasts who live on the fringes, have been effectively ostracized by their peers and live solely for the virtual world?

Life on Earth is a constant struggle. It is a struggle in the wilderness, and it is also a struggle in Information Age society. Invoking privilege is meaningless without context, simply because it is so wildly variable and can range from moderately useful to completely negligible.

The way postmodern feminists use "privilege" is as a copout either to declare a group as weak and in need of being pampered (which is prejudiced, but for some reason is not considered to be) or to trivialize achievements as if they were solely based on privilege, and not on, you know... giving your 10,000 hours of hard work. Privilege may have given a boost, it may have not.

Feminists are always campaigning that we end gender binaries. Along with that, we also need to end silly racial and social binaries. How does male privilege help the countless of disposable pawns who die brutally in wars and conflicts? How did white privilege help the Slavs or the Irish? The Samis? I'm sure genocide victims were happy about their inherent biological characteristics giving them privilege and shielding them from extermination.

In the contemporary Western world, the barriers are remarkably lower than ever before. Especially for software development, which despite all the talk about misogynistic environments, has a very low entry barrier at the end of the day. Ribald conference presentations haven't stopped anyone from downloading a Ruby interpreter and coding. I hope so, at least.

I'm not saying there shouldn't be advocacy groups for underrepresented people, but ultimately we shouldn't be operating on preconceived biases and emotions to fix the demographics issue. We shouldn't even be seeing demographics as a #1 critical priority, but rather we should give everyone resources to participate equally. If they don't want to, they don't. Don't pester them or think you're helping anyone by posting provocative blog articles filled with postmodern lingo.

The store owner owns the private keys. The stores themselves only get access to the pubkeys. Or they use a service that holds all the keys for them.

Unlike with physical cash, you can easily put any arbitrary amount of physical separation between the place the transaction occurs and the place the money is "stored".

Since they want to see how you communicate, you should also improve your technical communication skills. How, I don't know.

You should consider studying basic algorithms and data structures. I don't know what resource are out there. There are some MOOCs, and you could use HNSearch to see what people have recommended before.
This collectivism grouping of people with 'privilege' is so bogus it's astounding that people follow it so blindly.

Have you ever considered the possibility that people can judge other people based on their individual merits, not by the actions/inactions of people with the same colour of their skin or gender?

Furthermore, you quote one white paper to prove that white privilege is fact - how does that paper prove anything is factual?
That's rather neat, even though it can't run the games.

I can understand the tone in the README.md because a lot of 'gamers', even the technically oriented ones, expect a lot from the word 'emulator'.
Imagine that you're known to be regularly moving around in an unarmored car with $50K. Would you take a chance that you get the robber who won't just shoot you dead?
Why assume, as you seem to, that all standards originate outside yourself? Do you not require of yourself a certain level of quality and precision, the degree of both depending on project and audience, when you write either natural language or code?
I don't get it. Why not just use aliases?

alias <name>='cd path/to/<name>'

Then you can just type:
$ <name>

You can even set up an alias to add a new alias ->
alias ea='vim ~/bash/alias'

Yeah, they're cash heavy. They'd probably willingly exchange it for something lighter weight at a reasonable fee, so long as they could get cash back out again when they needed to.

Someone really just needs to set up a BTC ATM in these places, see what happens. Maybe convince the owners to take bitcoin, off chance it creates a thriving use case for both, and demonstrates the ability/limits of BTC as a banking substitute.

Your language does not read as being genuine. To be frank, it reads like someone trying to derail the discussion by critiquing someone else's tone. I currently do not believe that you are arguing in good faith.

Do you see how stupid you sound?
Wildcards are not as useful to massive organisations as you would think. The wouldn't want to have a single public/private pair (that is essentally what a certificate is: the public key to your private one, signed by a 3rd party key that the 2nd party has in its trust list) for .microsoft.com (nor would Google for .google.com) as a single all-powerful key could be far more hassle should it get into the hands of an incompetent or malicious individual/team. If they had to revoke the certificate for *.microsoft.com then there would be a hell of a lot of administration work to be done to reconfigure each part of their infrastructure and renegotiate relevant internal trust relationships between parts of the that infrastructure using the new keys. While having different keys for everything is a burden when all is going well, the burden is worth taking on the offchance that sometihng somewhere does go badly wrong: the damage caused by any given problem can be limited.

We have wildcard certs for each of our properties, but the resources using those certificates are many orders of magnitude less numbersome than the resources covered by the name of a multinational monster. And even though we use a wildcard for internal resources we get specific keys generated and signed for client specific stuff (if we host any service on <client>.<ourdomain>.<tld> for instance) just as we have different SSH keys and such for accessing information sources they provide for integration purposes: not having the one all powerful key limits the potential damage (and work involved) should any partticualr key/sub-key become compromised. If out internal key were to be stolen by a malicious entity or accidentally made public by a mistake on our part the no client specific resources would be affected (of course to ensure this separation you need to distribute access to the private keys effectively so that they can't all get compromised in a single event.
Aiming to be free, but once we figure out interest and sort out the venue we will know for sure. I'm bootstrapping this entirely myself, so it will be dependent on that.

Bitcoin's not a very good solution for these guys. The fluctuations in the value of BTC could really screw up their cash flow. "Uh, sorry guys. China made a minor change in thier banking laws, and we're a little short of cash at the moment. We can't pay you this week, but it's probable that we'll be able to pay you next week."

My feelings are more about autonomy and choice for its own sake than trust. In this context though, I'd just want to be sure I'm supporting the efforts of people who are responsible for developing products I actually want.
There are billions of galaxies, though, and my point is we may still be half-blind, since we've only recently even able to detect exoplanets smaller than Jupiter IIRC. And, if we did see something, we would likely interpret it as a natural event.

It would probably be in the best self-interests of whatever species launched an attack to make it appear like a natural event in any case, so as not to draw attention to their existence from unknown parties (like us.) And a collision that could wipe out a civilization is clearly within the realm of natural possibility since it's happened on Earth in the past (without the civilization part..) so it need not necessarily draw attention to itself.
Neat, thanks for the tip.
This. They should rewrite the headline, "Banks Say No to Marijuana Money... Legal".
Can't exactly download/build this on my current machine. What does it actually do so far?
BTW, I wondered, will actually having a higher transaction fee on the API transaction, in fact, reduce volatility? Let's say, at Bitstamp with volume, you can get down to 0.02% fee (no so hard with even a few bitcoins and a few trades). If API trading fee is always at 0.05% or higher, then bots will slow down a bit.
Why not just use a symlink?

ln -s ~/super/long/nested/directory/name ~/short

If you don't want to dump them in your home directory, just make a directory with a single-letter name for your links:

yea but it added (new opened) 25137 and closed 22120. This is a positive metric for open source projects. Im always surprised when people pridefully say we have zero bugs, thats not true they have zero bugs they know about. This is why open source is so great, closed source often means you have no idea how many bugs reported. I always look for os projects with a healthy open and close ratio. I think this is a good things.
Even if you could they are probably archived in so many other places that it would be fairly pointless to do so. Never post something on the Internet that you might later want to delete or completely disconnect yourself from.
Agreed, if you are trying to understand the topic and not the author, then injecting non-standard usage and "personality" is simply a distraction. There is something narcissistic about believing your writing should reflect you, rather than your topic.
At high speed you need a dedicated hardware peripheral to manage key protocol elements like fragmentation, bus arbitratration, and forward error correction. By putting that hardware in the chipset you don't need a special chip so costs are lower for the oem, and buyer.
The amount of traffic this is going to get is probably a bit nuts, so it's pretty well deserved imo.

If your feelings are hurt by someone not wanting to get hammered with idiotic requests/e-mails about a very clear alpha 'project', you should maybe reconsider your ISP payments.
The developer made some interesting posts about how the emulator will work on his blog a couple years back:

I think in your scenario the store owner is still at risk of being physically coerced into transferring his bitcoins to an assailant, no?
There are also a lot of holders who want to convert their BTC in to something else without paying taxes. (some of whom will be billed, or jailed, for many years in to the future as tax authorities reverse the transactions paths.)
Yes, because everyone knows the full requirements for a project up front. That's why we all still use waterfall, right?
Are you sure you have 284Gb?

384Gb is 256Gb + 128Gb or 3 * 128Gb - simple powers of two stuff going on here to arrive at 384Gb.

284Gb is 256Gb + 16Gb + 8Gb + 4Gb - or - 256Gb + 32Gb - 4Gb where the 4Gb is used for something such as video ram.

That is not simple powers of two.
yea, a lot of people would be submitting issues that they can't run a game without those first disclaimers
> “The big challenge around OpenStack stuff is that everyone that’s there talking, talking, talking, talking, talking — none of them has ever run infrastructure. So they have no idea what they’re talking about,” he said. “And there’s a few vocal people that do and have done stuff, and they’re just not able to push things through that entire process as rapidly as they should.”

Uh, Rackspace has built completely functional and running OpenStack infrastructure, multiple times over (many datacenters).

You write them to a card and then you have a dupe that can be used in card-present credit card transactions. These dumps are all over the underground forums, they are easy to buy - that is, afterall, how Target found out about the hack.
They weren't, whoever broke in was sniffing/intercepting the authorization and dump data - and they were there for a while.

I would think that a comment re-summarizing the function in natural language would also "double or triple the length of the code." Wouldn't it be better, then, to just let the code itself expand, rather than expecting maintenance programmers to both read your comments, and then use them to parse an otherwise-inscrutable construction?

>I doubt Target was storing the data

This is a company that loves to try and predict customer behaviours by using massive data-mining techniques. I would be surprised if they didn't store any and all data they get their hands on, especially if it could be used as an additional table key. For background, I recommend this article, which is one of the most interesting works I've seen in the last ~decade:

It's also a little unfair to criticize standard English for being largely what is spoken by white people. English is the language of English people. They are white. I would assume that standard Swahili, for example, closely correlates to language as spoken by primarily black people.
Every person I've talked to running OpenStack has run infrastructure before. Saying they have no idea what they are talking about is just a thinly veiled blaming statement. Also, adoption curves. It takes time.
Nice to see some hands being waved about the matter. I've long been confused why large open source projects aren't, by default, providing a virtual system that is capable of building the project with close to no configuration. There is some discussion on the linked bug 885777 (and links out from there) about why current builds are not idempotent on a given system, and building a Vagrantfile to setup a build environment.

Even ignoring the verifiable build aspect, which I think is important, having an easy to start with environment to use as a launching pad, and more importantly, example build environment, would ease new developers into the process of making a commit. A little more than a year ago, I started toying around with the idea of commiting to Mozilla late one night when bored. I went through the process of getting dependencies installed (build-dep wasn't enough as it didn't provide the necessary version of autoconf), and even passing a ./configuration, the build failed and I gave up. I would have likely powered through if I already had a bug fix to commit, but as mentioned I was just idling playing around with the idea while bored.
Makes sense... can you imagine how many 12 year olds are gonna find this as a result of googling "Xbox 360 emulator" and send him poorly spelled emails about how to install it on their parents' iPad?
I don't think it's anywhere near "close to 100%", like you're claiming.

IIS is still quite widely used for many web sites. Netcraft's latest survey results suggest just slightly under 30% of all web sites are served by it. So that's some closed-source software powering a significant portion of the web, at least.

And it's quite safe to say that those IIS installations are running on some variant of Windows, which is yet another generally closed-source software system. Then there are other non-web services (DNS, FTP, and so on) handled by such Windows systems.

There are still a surprising number of proprietary UNIX systems out there in production, on the public Internet. We're talking HP-UX, AIX, UnixWare, and even BSD/OS in some cases. There are many behind the scenes, indirectly supporting web sites and other publically-accessible services.

There is a lot of other networking gear that runs proprietary software, too.

Is open source software important to the Internet? Absolutely. Is it the "100%" you're claiming? Absolutely not.
Good luck trying to convince people. I think that Malthusianism just makes sense to people instinctively, and that counts for much more than the fact that it's been proven incorrect over and over again. Even though doom and gloom about things like "overpopulation" have been debunked time and again by people like Julian Simon ("The Ultimate Resource") you'll never convince people who've bought into it to change their minds.
Is it possible to license away the right to sue someone for infringing, though?
On the cheap end, you're looking at OVH and Hetzner. They've both been reliable for me, but I still wouldn't run anything mission critical on them (from anecdotes). Hetzner is Europe only, while OVH does have a DC in Quebec. If you're already using spot instances, which can vanish pretty quickly, you might have the code in place to handle these potentially flaky providers.

Over the years, I've had good experience with WebNX which has good connectivity to Asia. They've been supposed to open a NY location for a while now...Speaking of NY, there's reliablesite.net which is ok. You have Hivelocity in Florida (which I didn't use specifically for South America, but I imagine they'd be good for that).

There's a handful of companies which I've never used but that I've been hearing good things about for years. NetDepot, SingleHop and LimeLight Networks for example.

I have used 100TB in both Singapore and Washington. They are a Softlayer reseller. The extra level of indirection sucks when something goes bad, but they are much cheaper (what you can get from 100TB for $400 might cost $1200 at Softlayer). A few of the locations they actually have staff at, so I imagine that's much better.

I recommend you spend some time on webhostingtalk.com. It's great. There's a forum specifically for deals which can be useful to pick something up.

For anyone who's only familiar with AWS/clouds: most of these take 1-2 days to set up machines, their control panels are horrible, they don't have an API and you might not even get a dedicated KVM switch.

Wow, I feel like a huge advertising billboard this morning!
I agree with almost all of this. One thing I think that a lot of CoffeeScript developers are not aware of and could benefit from greatly is ToffeeScript which eliminates callbacks in most circumstances.

DDR4 can be twice as fast as DDR3. The potential of getting that performance is pretty exciting to some people.

The BIOS screen pic in the article shows system memory speed of 2134 MT/s, which is equivalent to the high end of DDR3.
So religious conservatives who don't like VR will be the ones to go into space, or whatever you'd like to imagine. Just by sheer probability there should be at least a few individuals who don't end up sticking around the sun.

Who's asking you to pay for anything?

If you're concerned about the purity of your nation there's no need to be a stereotypical liberal about it either. Allow me to present a policy package that costs the state basically nothing and improves the lives of many not currently within the borders of your state.

1. Move from jus soli to jus sanguinus; no one without a parent who is a citizen of the state automatically becomes a citizen.

2. Any foreigner convicted of any crime gets deported. One may wish to have different visa categories for foreigners of a higher class/who have more money. The big thing is that it be clear that begging, petty theft and homelessness are deportable offences.

3. After five years you can either go home with all the money you paid in taxes/social security minus an actuarial average of your cost to the state or you can stay and forfeit it. South Korea does something roughly similar and it works pretty well at discouraging settlement.

If you're feeling really humanitarian you can allow third generation non-citizen residents over 30 an opportunity to naturalise.

The solution of queuing updates is natural and concise in E with its eventual sends:

tank<-move(displacement)

is essentially like

setTimeout(0, function() { tank.move(displacement); });

except it also works if the tank lives in another process or machine. The distributed/concurrent case was what it was for, but it can be nice for sequential programming too.

Yeah, but the 25lbs weight capacity seems pretty low (though I have no idea how much my monitor actually weighs.
Exactly, and you can't even charge them for the time you lost _convincing_ them to describe what exactly they want and giving them new ideas as you go through the process. Such a mess. But hey, sometimes you get great connections there, I found one of best hackers I know there (but I'm afraid he was the exception).
If you want to find poverty, there are a few ways to go. The obvious ones are to support education (helping kids break out of poverty), to support what we call "survival" which includes things like soup kitchens and shelters (which are designed to help people cope with poverty), or healthcare in countries which don't have free healthcare like the US (which help prevent late-in-life entrance into poverty due to unexpected health problems).

I'd rather they were reported than not. You can't fix bugs that aren't known about!
I think the implication was not a single user, but many. Think store. And, like most arguments, I'm sure it can successfully be used on all sides of the war.

For fun, expand on that store. There is a real sense where a nice simple and convenient function helps a ton. Deciding when and where you need to restock something. Now, remove more and more assumptions and at some point the "implementation" details that make it no longer "functional" start to get in the way. Of course, at some point there isn't much you can do about it, and you have to be in the weeds.
