To expand on this, from wikipedia:

"In civil forfeiture cases, the US Government sues the item of property, not the person; the owner is effectively a third party claimant. The burden is on the Government to establish that the property is subject to forfeiture by a "preponderance of the evidence." If it is successful, the owner may yet prevail by establishing an "innocent owner" defense.

In civil cases, the owner need not be judged guilty of any crime; it is possible for the Government to prevail by proving that someone other than the owner used the property to commit a crime. In contrast, criminal forfeiture is usually carried out in a sentence following a conviction and is a punitive act against the offender.

The United States Marshals Service is responsible for managing and disposing of properties seized and forfeited by Department of Justice agencies. It currently manages around $2.4 billion worth of property. The United States Treasury Department is responsible for managing and disposing of properties seized by Treasury agencies. The goal of both programs is to maximize the net return from seized property by selling at auctions and to the private sector and then using the property and proceeds for law enforcement purposes."

Since the Government sues the property itself, and since property itself has few if any rights, you can understand how the entire process becomes rather... one sided.

> Not a smashing success, but is it a failure? The jury is still out on this, imho.

Given that success and failure are both relative terms, I would say Groupon is only a "failure" if you're measuring it by the perceived success it would have. So I would say that if you expected Groupon to be a $10bil company, they are a failure...but if you expected Groupon to be a normal company of a few million in revenue, then they are an amazing success.

Although Groupon may not have had the most lucrative business model in the world, I still feel like they've done a great job at "sticking to their guns" and not trying to enter all kinds of other markets (and failing miserably).

Rereading my prior post, it was a little unclear. Let me expand on my prior point. The Bitcoin market is neither liquid or large enough to absorb 30k new coins and remain stable. That means the US government isn't going to get $850 per coin. The effects on the market will likely depend on how the coins are sold.

Scenario 1:

There is a single large buyer. Assuming the buyer and US goverment are smart, they will recognize the liquidity risk of Bitcoin. The buyer will then get a discount for this and be able to purchase the coins at a below market rate. Assuming their plan is to hold onto the coins for the long term (or at least not short term), I wouldn't expect a large movement in the general Bitcoin markets.

Scenario 2:

There are many small buyers. Each sale would slightly effect the price of Bitcoin as each sale would slowly satisfy demand. The US government might receive $850 per coin for the first sale, but certainly wouldn't for the last sale. This would cause the biggest harm to the market as the price would drop more than in scenario 1.

TL;DR - The US government either needs to accept a lower price for the sake of liquidity or accept that their sales will quickly lower the market rate for Bitcoin.

I am not dismissing this study. It is interesting and has merit as a study.

> The study was based on 71 ,527 individuals, it is statistically significant.

I am not disputing the study or its methodology, only that drawing a final conclusion about weight and heart health from a single study is generally a bad idea. Meta analysis of studies on being overweight and obese (EDIT: by BMI category) have shown different conclusions on the impact to health. This is covered under that linked news story paragraph titled 'Mixed Results from Previous Studies'.

> Let me guess, you're obese?

Not at all, I'm not even overweight. (EDIT: By BMI, I don't meet those categories. BMI is a horrible metric).

The most common reason I have heard is that there are psychological benefits from a child having a sense of responsibility and ownership of the money, as well as learning the value of the money.

There is also the fact that, in some cases, a child better knows how to spend money to make himself happy then his/her parent. Obviously this is not true for every type of expenditure, but if you are going to spend $X to buy your child luxieries like new toys, it seems reasonable that your child would be better informed in how to spend part that money. Or, you can decide what you think (s)he wants, and buy it for him/her on arbitrary dates such as Christmas or birthdays.

Regular Expressions for Internal Auditors
Interesting article, although right when I thought we were going to get to some interesting suggestions, the article ends.

So let me finish it for him, what we need is more dynamic and realistic competition in the last-mile ISP business. I believe point to point high-frequency bandwidth can help solve this problem. Metropolitan fiber with sub-leasing capacity to ISPs that carry the traffic is also an option. But the natural monopoly position of last-mile wiring has always been a major issue. Hence regulation of phone companies.

In dense cities with irregular geography, the wireless line of sight can work. Eg: Webpass, monkeybrains in San Francisco. In flatter cities, this may not work as well. In less dense areas, the installation cost usually means a natural monopoly, but towers, line of sight wireless may help there.

The problem is all the LOS wireless stuff has been more of a bespoke solution rather than a scalable one. Tech has helped reduce the hardware cost, but tuning and aiming antennas - does this work for a city like, say, St Lewis?

The main take-away imo is the line "every increase in expressiveness brings an increased burden on all who care to understand the message"

That line basically why I am not as fond of Scala as I originally was.

My defense of the inevitable "well hire smarter developers then!" is twofold (a) You're saying Scala is not a mass market audience language and (b) you aren't as smart as you at 4am, after you were just woken up because your code is broken in production.

I will listen more now, but that's probably a good thing. I barely used it in the past because of the limit (no idea what it was, but I'd hit it). As I said if I had a higher quality audio device to listen to songs on, that could handle Spotify, I'd most likely buy a subscription.

I don't know why they don't just randomly make tracks unavailable for free accounts. Or they could remove two or more songs from each album. I didn't even mind the 5 plays of a song limit. The adverts are pretty annoying, but I take them on the chin in exchange for the music.
1. There are SO MANY open source projects that are "owned" by companies. It's nothing new.

2. I'm so tired of hearing about the supposed "drama" of the NodeJS community from people who don't understand open source projects. For one, I checked the guy's github yesterday and he still contributes to node, so his "taking my ball and going home" bit was a bluff. More importantly, though, is the point that this person went out of his way to stop an open source contribution that he personally didn't agree with. He did, in effect, more work by declining the pull request and injecting his own beliefs into a community project.

I feel it needs to be said that I applaud Joyent's position on gender inclusiveness since we clearly have a LONG way to go to get people to start caring about issues like this.
There is an interesting case of regulatory capture nobody seems to be discussing. From the article:

`"But they said his views have been shaped to a striking degree by the reality of waking up every day in the White House responsible for heading off the myriad threats he finds in his daily intelligence briefings.

`“When you get the package every morning, it puts steel in your spine,” said David Plouffe, the president’s longtime adviser. “There are people out there every day who are plotting....'

and then:

`Mr. Obama was surprised to learn after leaks by Edward J. Snowden...[we all know what]'

Every morning the president gets a propaganda dose from the very people he needs to reign in. OF COURSE they are going to tell him the sky is falling in and that they are the only ones holding it back. And since it's exciting and secret there is no cross check or balance.

He should be seizing the example of Snowdon's releases to realize that the books are being cooked. Instead he's been completely taken in by the briefing books. It's really no different from Joe Barton being taken in by BP.

Back in the Reagan era Alan Kay told me about his very short time as a white house advisor. Reagan's briefing book wasn't even a book, it was a three minute video. I'm sure it REALLY played up the Soviet threat, yet the security apparatus was as astonished as anyone else when the USSR collapsed.

If it were sold at the commissary for $5, it'd be easier for inmates to afford (and keep in mind, as the article states, that inmates can only spend $320 a month on commissary goods).

The goal of the prison system is to make prisoners as miserable as possible by our current societal standards (I strongly believe that 500 years from now, our present prison system will seem as barbaric as public place executions seem to us now), not to make sure they can have a pleasant time.

> Do you disagree that secrets during war are necessary?

I don't think Executive Branch secrets from Congress -- that is, things that will not be disclosed honestly on request by the Congress as such (which is not the same as individual members of Congress acting on their own) -- are ever justified or necessary, in war or peace.

To the extent that secrets (e.g., from the enemy in time of war) are necessary for which not routinely disclosing information to Congress is justifiable as a security measure, the Executive acting appropriately to maintain the confidence of Congress in its use of its discretion so as to avoid Congress needing to demand information which should be kept secret is equally necessary. Any President who honestly feels that they cannot protect the security of the nation while responding to Congress's demands for information should recognize that they have failed to maintain the confidence necessary to function effectively as President and resign.

Foreign enemies are always a convenient excuse for lack of domestic accountability, but they are never a sufficient excuse.
Probably. To understand price changes it's important to consider how they change.

Price movements occur as a result of a buyer or seller aggressing into a market and submitting an order such that the parameters of the aggressor's order match the opposite sides unfilled orders. This process is typically referred to as order matching. If a buyer aggresses into the market and matches against unfilled sell orders the price increases because they have removed the lowest prices from the order book. If a seller does something similar the price will drop because the highest prices have been removed.

Another reason price movements occur is because people are also reacting to the market and trying to predict where the market is going. As a consequence they will either enter the market at an off market price attempting to predict it, or cancel their outstanding orders and re-price them. But this is another topic entirely and I will leave it out as it's pretty complex and my understanding of that topic is newb level at best.

The second thing to consider is the why. Why do price movements occur? Mainly because people are consuming information and trying to predict where the market is going. For other assets such as FX & commodities there are non-speculative market participants who buy and sell based on their business need. An example from Foreign Exchange is a company such as Google having a stockpile of dollars and needing to pay employees in euros. The end result of these non-speculative market participants is greater price stability because they are always buying or always selling, not because they want to, but because they have to. But since bitcoin is largely a speculative currency (the majority of bitcoin trading volume is the result of speculation, not legitimate commerce) the news has a disproportionate effect on it's prices.

My 2 cents say that this will temporarily depress prices but they will quickly recover because someone such as myself recognizes that those bitcoins haven't entered the market, so nothing has really changed.

They absolutely do not support the architectures in the same way. Most NetBSD ports are cross compiled and not tested, you are lucky if they boot before hard locking.

or just where the data's bad. One of the highest ratios of median rent to median income (what they're trying to call their gentrification ratio) in the map of SF is shown in SOMA near 4th and Folsom. I used to live on that block, the median income is most certainly not $16k. It's just not. Half of that block group is non-residential, either Yerba Buena or office buildings, so maybe that's doing something weird to the data, but overall I think this attempt at a "gentrification" measure doesn't at all work.
