The website, it's all about selling drugs and then mailing them across international borders.

I imagine there is something considered criminal in there.
Notice that morality doesn't have to have anything to do with this argument. As a matter of pragmatism, the operator of a Silk Road-type site is almost certain to harbor a conviction that he can do so without getting caught (regardless of whether the authorities have morality on their side).

The same same goes for stealing from your customers: of course you won't get caught, what are your victims going to do? File a police report that the money they gave to a contraband site to presumably purchase contraband was stolen? The same conviction that makes it possible for them to operate Silk Road 2 makes it possible for them to steal from their customers.

How do you expect Go to be faster than Java? Off the top of my head here's three reasons why I expect Go to be equal or slower in the general case:

* the type system doesn't provide any more information to optimize against
* lack of generics means you're going to incur runtime type checks to unpack data out of containers
* internal pointers force a choice between ignoring advanced garbage collection (which usually involves moving data in memory), making all object accesses a double pointer dereference (to allow moving), and forcing the user to specify at allocation time if the object should be eligible for movement. All of these choices suck.

Personally, I don't expect Go to ever be "faster than Java". Maybe (hopefully!) I'm wrong, but these are big roadblocks.

Totally agree with you. At least in humans, there are two very clearly defined reproductive roles. Test tubes and surgical procedures can interfere a bit, but you can't be "mostly" a gamete donor or "only somewhat" of a gamete receptor.
In my opinion are privately owned, public assets, and while the network is privately owned, the spectrum is held in trust for the public, and duly licensed to the carriers to provide service.

I don't believe in nationalization - I do believe private ownership with open access requirements is a better answer.

I agree in re microcells - frequency reuse only gets you so far - and is only helpful at the levels proposed in very very dense places - like NYC/Tokyo/SF/London

Update: The amount of BTC that was stolen was calculated by Nicholas Weaver @NCWeaver – Computer Security Researcher, to be around: 4474.266369160003BTC that are with the value of about $2.7 Million.

It's entirely possible to be in support of a free and peaceful drug trade, while at the same time being morally against theft. I don't know why you're lumping the two.
WYSIWYG editor that really works
That's how partisan politics works. You demonize the other party, its members and the message that it has chosen to exploit the fears of its constituents, and you paint your own side as crusaders, and the message that it has chosen to exploit the fears of its own constituents becomes the sacred word.

Now you have little freedom to constructively criticize your own side, because that unavoidably strengthens the other side. Blasphemy to accuse your own side of incompetence, intentional corruption or malevolence.

It's the last remaining area we have where we can respectably hate another human being.
The Baltic countries, Russia, Ukraine, and Central Asian countries are all aboriginal countries. They have preserved their traditional culture and all the lessons learned over many generations.

In contrast, Europe is mostly immigrants from the east, and people's conquered by the Goths and Romans who lived in slavery for hundreds of years and lost everything except the ability to just barely survive.

You can see the addresses and transactions here: http://www.reddit.com/r/DarkNetMarkets/comments/1xtqty/sr_ha...

I just looked at a few of them and most addresses received from 20 to 100 BTC so it's quite a lot in total, maybe in the ballpark of 1000-2000 coins.
Those dynamic languages are only performant when you add a bunch of type information. You wind up writing a simulacrum of C and it still under-performs.
Fair enough. Although, I view crowdsourcing as an implementation detail of an automated process.
I think the idea would be that you would withdraw from escrow, manipulate the transaction to change the transaction id (which they shouldn't be relying on if they use bitcoind and makes the whole thing kinda fishy) then when SR can't find the transaction it assumes it failed and sends again or he opens a ticket saying he never got his funds and they send them again manually.
I think what he's trying to say that it's far less likely for a libertarian "legalize drugs" type of person to screw a bunch of people over.

Like, when you facilitate selling drugs, there is no victim. Hell, you probably prevented having a victim. When you facilitate selling weapons/assassinations/child porn, there is a victim. The latter type of person would be more likely to victimize his/her customers than the former.
As a member of the 78%, it looks interesting (and I just bought it). However, the video seems to provide the only real tutorial. There needs to be a walk-through in the app (perhaps there is).

Also, I'd like to see some sort of visual/tracer feedback as you press the keys (and apparently, you can even able to vibrate them). I don't know if the processor can handle it, but you could use the sound wave in the key itself. But even color changes or a sparkle (users could turn off in preferences).

Good luck!
OP definitely needs to sue the city, as well as the aggressors personally. Every cop involved in this situation should be spending years in prison for battery, kidnapping, false imprisonment, and torture. Until justice for victims of the police becomes routine, they're nothing but another gang and the only good cop is a dead cop.
This seems like some wonky hack where you're running a Windows VM on a remote server and sending the GUI back to the Chromebook.

Is there any real reason you couldn't just install Windows on Chromebook hardware? Do they lock the bootloader?
I'm sure it serves other purposes too, even if they are as simple as displaying your sibling as "brother" vs. "sister", or your brother's children as "nephew" vs. "niece".

Welcome to the Modern Age Trojan Horses: Facebook, Twitter and Youtube
Simple has two meanings. You are addressing one of them. I'd argue that the fact the app consist essentially 2 web views, the simple means 'WTF is this even an app?'.
I know everyone is a bit tired of hearing about the new Mill CPU, but one of the things we've done with the architecture is to have the hardware track return addresses. This is not only much faster and efficient; it is also immune to these kinds of attacks.

There's an upcoming "Security" talk which will cover lots of other ways we've worked to improve the fundamental protection offered by the CPU, but the stack is covered in the Memory talk: http://ootbcomp.com/topic/memory/ and ootbcomp.com/topic/introduction-to-the-mill-cpu-programming-model-2/
Modern banking is also largely reversible, so stolen funds can often be recovered, and insurance covers the other cases.

Bitcoin has the problem of having irreversible transactions, and it's also a lot more difficult to determine whether or not an account has been legitimately stolen from.

I don't think it's the case that the current banking industry is insulated from theft due to superior security. From what I've heard from programmers working in the financial industry, the software there can be quite ropey, or at least no better than anywhere else.
The bottom line is the clause is only to protect the lawyers and the original distributor because they have chosen a jurisdiction they know best. The GPL is all about protecting the user's freedoms, which is why they're so at odds: even if the result isn't so different, the intent is very different.
Still use it as well myself but http://disconnect.me/ is similar and fully FLOSS whereas Ghostery is sorta weird and proprietary and actually helps the ad tracking biz
It's not clutching at straws at all - they very clearly are diverging from the spec everyone else is using, moving to not prefixing, and shipping as on by default. This might as well be in secret, since the Chrome group are developing the habit of dictating specs by pushing implementations out regardless of the community, and thus is no better than the OHA, who at least talk amongst themselves. There are also proprietary Android libraries that exist for different manufacturers, but you're probably insane if you rely on them.

I used to work doing games on Android across all varieties of it, and the differences are nothing like as big as people that haven't looked properly seem to think. In fact for many titles without push or in app billing it was simply a question of testing, and these things ran perfectly, or no worse than any other issue you might have with a device on the Play Store. It is most definitely less than the difference between different web browsers, and far better defined. Do this a few times and it can be abstracted away (to the point of portability to iOS abstracted).

Let's say I'm an OEM without an existing contract with Google. I could either build a Chromium device or an Android one, and shove some other app store on it. Unsurprisingly many are doing the latter, and they're in the wild, but has anyone seen a Chromium device actually out there? Given how many Chromebooks are selling you'd think maybe one enterprising Chinese OEM would do it, but they seem far keener on Android. I wonder why.

You are greatly overestimating how hard it is to implement services on the device. The only hard part of implementing a store and in app billing, for example, is the server. The clients practically write themselves by comparison. Given that the entire Chinese Android market exists without Google's cloud services it's clearly nothing like as big a deal as you and Google wish it were.
I think this is a natural path of software development. It is getting easier and easier every year to make software on the foundation built by smart engineers.

There still will be engineers that will do amazing things, but the problems the engineers will face will be harder and the problems programmers will face will be easier.

Just compare creating a blog with php year 2000 and creating a blog with rails 2014.

I believe that in a near future making most of the apps used by businesses will only be a matter of setting configurations. I know this is what people said in the 80s and we did not get there by 2000, but that dose not mean we will not be there in the future.
In that case, maybe publishing the addresses wasn't the most discreet thing imaginable. Still my "holdings" amount to a Starbucks card converted to BTC through an online service mentioned on HN. I wanted to motivate myself to become interested in Bitcoins, and thought that watching a miniscule amount might help, but the mischief around cryptocurrencies is demotivating. Cryptocurrencies should be regulated. Perhaps the Bitcoin will serve in the long run to address some rent-seeking behavior in the banking system. For now it's the Wild West.

Yes, definitely.

I never thought I'd be grateful for being a fat, nerdy, awkward kid. It sure sucked a lot of the time then. But now those experiences really help me appreciate why it's important to try to be especially respectful toward people who are different not just in my specific ways, but in their own fashion. They are already getting enough crap.
My sons still live with me. They are both ASD and not very touchy-feely people. But they are very loyal to me. I have a deadly medical condition. Doctors told me "people like you don't get well" and washed their hands of responsibility. Since I have defective genes, it won't hurt their professional reputation if I die while under their care. That feels pretty awful to be on the receiving end of.

My sons are taking care of me so I can get well, physically. Part of that is dealing with the brain chemistry fall out as I fight the infections that overran my system, etc. Yes, over time, their devoted care is convincing me someone actually cares about me even though neither of them is the gushy type. They do the important stuff. They provide the care I need.

I was a homemaker and full time mom for many years. I took devoted care of them. The three of us are getting physically well together, but I was the sickest. So the care I gave them is coming back to me. That is a first for my life. For the most part, my emotional generosity has gotten me burned by other people.

tldr: It wouldn't be inaccurate to say that it is therapeutic.
The chipping away at state sovereignty happened because states kept using that sovereignty to oppress black people. The post-Civil War amendments were a huge smack down, because they set the stage for binding the states to the Bill of Rights, which had previously only applied to the federal government. That had a big impact not because states couldn't say violate the freedom of speech anymore. States already had similar clauses in their own Constitutions. No, the real significance of that was it elevated the federal courts to a position of supervising state compliance with federal rights.

From there, Supreme Court precedent told the states they couldn't keep blacks from voting, couldn't segregate them, couldn't ban interracial marriage, etc. Every time the states tried to oppress this or that group, they put their sovereignty on the line and the Supreme Court took some of it away. Consider when the governor of Alabama, George Wallace, took a stand against federal court ordered desegregation of the University of Alabama. President LBJ sent federal troops down to Alabama to enforce integration. From a state autonomy standpoint, it was a huge blow, as the federal government asserted its supremacy. The governor of Alabama was forced to step aside on the property of a state university as National Guardsmen escorted black students inside against his will and that of Alabama voters: http://partners.nytimes.com/library/national/race/061263race.... This continued through the 1960's and 1970's. The state courts were put in their place when the federal courts started aggressively supervising their procedures, to deal with their tendency to fail to give fair trials to black defendants.

Federalism is dead because the states pissed away all of their political capital trying to oppress people.
You can do that with Microsoft's Azure. They support Windows virtual machines.
There is such big market for this because college students are constantly looking for cheap things / trying to sell their stuff. I am surprised no one has tackled that need yet. A lot of universities are using Facebook groups for buying and selling, but a lot of stuff get buried that way. I like how simple this interface is!

More articles like this please, because I have to convince other people that I'm working with that my design isn't broken because it doesn't have social media buttons slathered all over it.

If your cannabis was grown in Mexico or the California Redwood forests then it's very possible that the money you spent went to drug cartel terrorists. And yes, hanging corpses from overpasses sounds like terrorism to me.

If your cannabis was grown by a nice American farmer then you're good. Hard to know how you can know that, though.

Here's a good link:

http://www.med.monash.edu.au/gendermed/sexandgender.html

And for you and other people whose URLs might get audited, here's the content:

What is the difference between sex and gender?

Sex = male and female

Gender = masculine and feminine

So in essence:

Sex refers to biological differences; chromosomes, hormonal profiles, internal and external sex organs.

Gender describes the characteristics that a society or culture delineates as masculine or feminine.

So while your sex as male or female is a biological fact that is the same in any culture, what that sex means in terms of your gender role as a 'man' or a 'woman' in society can be quite different cross culturally. These 'gender roles' have an impact on the health of the individual.

In sociological terms 'gender role' refers to the characteristics and behaviours that different cultures attribute to the sexes. What it means to be a 'real man' in any culture requires male sex plus what our various cultures define as masculine characteristics and behaviours, likewise a 'real woman' needs female sex and feminine characteristics. To summarise:

'man' = male sex+ masculine social role

(a 'real man', 'masculine' or 'manly')

'woman' = female sex + feminine social role

(a 'real woman', 'feminine' or 'womanly')

Because it's there.

Whatever is there, people will push it to do things it wasn't designed for. Any they'll push so hard it will actually work.
Conflating law with ethics. Becoming more prevalent as the number of laws increase.

I can't back it up with science (someone know of any research?), but it sure seems to be a trend when you compare among countries in various stages.

Ah, I'm pretty sure only libertarians feel this way...
My favorite part of bitcoin is just how wild west it always feels. Real money, in very massive quantities is stolen, and there's no authorities who will do anything about it. Old school scams are new again. Crashes happen on a monthly basis. I'm staying out of it in any serious quantities because frankly i'm having too much fun watching it.
I agree Matt. Apple has every right to reject apps that don't add any value to their ecosystem. There are probably many apps that do what this app does. The ego of the people making this is incredible, why don't you just use the existing apps if you aren't going to add value?
Except it would use one of those western fonts.
If one were sufficiently cynical one could argue that this was the plan from the start. Build another version of the site, wait for some BitCoin disaster, take all the funds and claim it was the disaster that done did it.

Of course to pull that off you'd really need to employ the disaster yourself so that you have the ledger entries to "prove" it.
I have also given and gotten support online and by phone. That can also make a difference. But in person, just your presence can prevent someone from acting without having to be confrontational or whatever.

The fact that people without Coeliac Disease buy gluten-free bread seems pretty mysterious to me.

It might not to you, but if you can't say for sure whether it's (a) just a fad; (b) actually the secret to a great and healthy life; or (c) partly a reaction to modern mass-baking techniques (as the article posits), there's at least a little mystery.
While I think the overall concept is amazing, my understanding is that the user interface stayed somewhere in the mid-nineties, and that it lacks things people tend to expect in a modern UNIX-like operating system, such as a decent browser, vim, shell history and symlinks. On the other hand, it has in some ways infected Linux (virtual filesystems), though sadly in a fairly limited fashion (think of copy-paste on steroids, built-in authentication agent). The way it is designed around a single, simple but powerful metaphor (everything is a file) is really brilliant.
Coinbase Launches “BitHack” an Online Bitcoin Hackathon
For anyone still drinking the "Bitcoin is frictionless" kool-aid, this hasn't been a good week.
Agreed. And that is where I believe our country has gone so wrong. There are few checks and balances against a run amok justice system. There is little transparency to people who destroy lives as a part of their daily job.
What Would You Do If The Internet Went Down?
Disagree. If I ask for a discount, it's because 1) the pricing is off and you have competition 2) I want to make a decision and settle into the service.

If you say no to my offer, cool. I'll go elsewhere.

I think startups that say no to reasonable discount offers are foolish, and it's a bad omen for their future.
