It's an interesting worldview where growing a company to an $11bn market cap counts as only a 'lukewarm success'.

It's not super clear why Red Hat's market cap of "only" $11bn means that their business model doesn't work. It would seem to me that it works pretty well -- to the tune of $11bn.
> Great to see the Democrats out in front on this one!

This is one of the few issues where there is no "us vs. them" -- where right-wing libertarians and left-wing civil libertarians actually agree.

And if enough of us could learn to drop the snark, this issue might even inspire the most liberal Democrats and most conservative Republicans to work together for a change.

Assuming the truth of this story, I agree. Best of luck to you, drpp!
It is perfectly possible. Your only task is to secure the private keys. These are short enough to be printed as a QR code or written down. keep that piece of paper somewhere safe. Alternatively, it is possible to use a good, random, long passphrase as your de facto private key. That way, the keys to your wallet are literally stored in your mind and nowhere else.

As of now, there are no known fatal flaws or weaknesses in the Bitcoin protocol itself. The network is secure and as long as you manage to secure your private keys, Bitcoin is extremely safe.
The FSF has argued that choice-of-law clauses in licenses are incompatible with the GPL. I believe the theory is that if things were otherwise, one could effectively apply a choice-of-law to state that a very free-software-hostile jurisdiction's laws applied to substantive issues arising in disputes over the license.

I have assumed that the FSF's doctrine on this point actually grew out of concerns over one of the licenses in the complex Python license stack, the CNRI license, which has a Virginia choice-of-law clause, close to the time of Virginia's adoption of the controversial UCITA.

See:
http://docs.python.org/2/license.html (CNRI license apparently from 2001)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniform_Computer_Information_Tr... (indicating Virginia adopted UCITA in 2000)

Note that if a license does not have a choice of law clause, that just means one resorts to default rules about what jurisdiction's law applies to a given issue. (I.e., absence of a choice of law clause does not make the underlying issue go away.) Choice of law clauses are common in proprietary software licenses (and other commercial contracts) and are generally seen by lawyers as beneficial measures to reduce interpretive uncertainty (though obviously in 'form agreements' this is to the benefit of the licensor).
Interesting...

I’ve included transaction logs at the bottom of this message. Review the vendor’s dishonest actions and use whatever means you deem necessary to bring this person to justice. More details will emerge as we continue to investigate.

Presumably the particular addresses used will be noted for future reference by vengeance-minded parties? Perhaps the list should be referenced by popular client software so innocents can avoid receiving BTC, even indirectly, from the blamed addresses...
Not that it's particularly rational, but I like Wary Puppy 5.5 because I am running it on my Toshiba Satellite 1805-S203 with 384kb of RAM.

I bought it the month before 911. In 2004 it was stolen and pawned and I had to take the pawn broker to court to get it back. When we were still on 802.11b my son used it with Windows 2k (rather than its original ME) and a PCMCIA wireless card. In 2009, I replaced the voltage regulator for the screen with one from eBay. Then it sat dormant for a few years after the Wireless network was upgraded.

A couple of years ago, I tried installing Linux and paid the dumbtax when I reformatted the hard disk. Then recently I pulled it apart, stuck in the BroadCom daughter card and 40gig hard disk salvaged from another laptop and after more work than I care to admit got it up and running and productive again.

I've got Emacs and MITscheme for fun. Node runs too. There's SSH to the big box [CentOS 6.5] for anything else. What more could I want?

Well ok, a couple of 256meg SODIMS and a PCMCIA ethernet card would be nice.
Good engineering managers aren't just hard to find – they don't exist
In Canada? Yup. The YOA is very expansive. For example, my neighborhood's most prolific tagger is in his mid-'20s and the press still isn't allowed to mention his name when he gets picked up for the nth time because he was previously arrested as a young offender. If they said "Joe Blow was arrested for writing tag X on an overpass" then everybody would know that Joe Blow is X and his young offenses of writing X on an overpass would be revealed.

You absolutely cannot be tied to crimes you committed as a youth. This way, no matter how bad you screw up, you have a clean slate as an adult.
Good job contradicting yourself.

I'm sure there's a subreddit out there somewhere where you'd fit in beautifully. Best of luck. :)
Probably not but that would alter the Chromebook. Their solution requires no modification and yet supposedly gives a Windows user experience for those to whom that's good enough. Depending on the DaaS capability WRT the apps I use that could easily be me going forward.

Device sharing is also facilitated by the DaaS approach. Any user can log on to any device at any time and see an uninterrupted work flow. For emerging societies and especially their students this can be a huge benefit. There are many environments where sharing inexpensive hardware without penalty can be a sea change. The lack of Windows is a penalty whether we like that or not. :-)
Take a deep breath, I believe parent post's comment about python not progressing was referring to performance, not a general dig.
Don't pay taxes in places the cops are mostly criminals. Ever.
Who cares about revenues? Of course the revenue is going to be higher at companies that sell software and hardware rather than support it. Costs are going to be higher too, for a company that has to write all of their software without help.
Your name is BlackDeath, but I assume that you're white, for saying this?
I was working data-validation at a big tech company, and the data-validation tool was under active development. It'd crash ~20 times in an 8 hour workday. I would happily restart my Tool and get back into it, but other people would huff and puff and rant. And it's like: What are you accomplishing with this attitude?

You're communicating to others that you don't consider an app that crashes 20 times a day an acceptable norm. The question is, does anyone listen?

Sure, there are things that are unchangeable and there is no point in complaining about them. But if you have a positive attitude towards cockroaches in your food (figuratively speaking), it's no longer positivity. It's called not giving a fuck.
It sounds like you didn't know the simple guideline "always do what the police say". Otherwise you're gonna have a bad time.
> The DSM is not the "bible" of psychology, but psychiatry. They are two completely different areas of science ...

First, mental health professionals disagree with you -- the DSM is the standard guide for all mental health diagnosis in the U.S. and to some extent elsewhere, in both psychiatry and psychology.

Second, neither psychiatry nor psychology are scientific enterprises, as you have just proven.

What do I mean? Let's look at a real science -- physics. Within physics there are any number of specialties -- let's look at two: cosmology and particle physics. Cosmologists study nature at the largest scale -- the entire universe. Particle physicists study nature at the smallest scale -- below the size of atoms.

But, notwithstanding this apparent difference in focus, cosmologists and particle physicists recognize their respective fields as both grounded in physics, and they productively attend each other's conferences. These two specialties are united by (a) science, and (b) a common desire to understand nature.

Psychiatrists and psychologists, although apparently specialties in the same field (human psychology), insist (as you now insist) that they're not related. And they're right -- the reason they're not related is because human psychology offers no central corpus of scientific theory to join them together, in the way that the standard model joins cosmology and particle physics, and in the way that the theories of evolution, natural selection and cell biology unite biology and medicine.

If human psychology were a science, psychiatrists and psychologists would endeavor to explain what they are satisfied to describe, these fields would be joined by reliable scientific results and theories, and the DSM would not be rejected by thinking people everywhere, including the director of the NIMH, who recently ruled that the DSM may no longer be accepted as the basis of scientific research proposals, for the simple reason that it has no scientific content.

> I know a tremendous amount about this topic ...

All except the single most important thing to know -- psychiatry and psychology are not sciences -- they're primarily steered by anecdote and belief.

> Psychiatry, however, IMO, is for the most part, useless.

How typical. Need I tell you that psychiatrists say the same thing about psychologists?

> Another big problem is that "depression" is such a fuzzy label ...

This is why the world is moving on from psychiatry and psychology, toward neuroscience, where (among other things) deep brain stimulation is showing very promising results where psychological treatments have failed.
Because most people feel an ethical obligation to follow the law. (And I'm not saying this as a member of this group). So if you find a person who does not feel compelled to follow the law, they could be an ethical anarchist, or altogether unethical. Purely given how fringe anarchism still is, I don't think it's too unreasonable to guess that the person is in the second category.
I have never heard the term sock puppet used like this, nor have I heard that Scott Adams was doing such a thing.

"This is where my weekend of police training really kicks in."

Holding is truly screwed up. When I went I saw so many shitty things. Cops abuse their power every day. I should have known when the managers at my shitty University food stop started on a power trip when I worked there and fired me for eating 8 old wings that were left over when I only ordered 6 for my meal... Went against protocol (needed three strikes, only got one). When I was arrested I was really drunk, I was slammed, and forced to sign a piece of paper banning me from a local college campus indefinitely. They said if I signed they'd let me go. Then they arrested me right after I signed it. Slammed multiple times because I said I couldn't leave into the snow with only socks on since my shoes were in my friends room.
Nice. Numbers are good.
I don't necessarily agree with the idea of standing by when you see what you consider to be evil being done, but I think you fail to take a lot of factors into account here.

The narrative is totally not credible. There are gaps where its obvious that the author did something to elicit a reaction, but what that was is omitted from the story. My guess would be that the author was being a smart ass, and given the drinking more belligerent than he recalls in retrospect. No, the cops shouldn't have roughed him up just for being a pompous asshole,[1] but the author should tell the whole story.

[1] "My instinct was to make this distinction go away, to show them I know our neighborhood is more complicated than that. To connect on human terms. I told them that it was an early stage startup; I’m doing this because I feel it’s a way to make the world around me better, to bring people joy through better food." My god imagine listening to this self indulgent tripe at 1 am while keeping your cool.
Some of the contradictions and non sequitur points might be due to this piece being written by Jeff Giesea as an illustrative device, and not by an actual person-on-the-street. It's signed by "Everyone", so you could read the article as a cross-section of experiences brought to the interview process by a teeming mass of aspirants. As for Giesea's point he's trying to make with this article, what I took away from my reading of it was "don't judge a book by its cover".
I doubt drug dealers care about the distinction between "you stole my money" vs. "you lost my money". Either case SR2 admin better do a good job of hiding.
FWIW I'm not going to offer an opinion on whether 20+% is a good tip, but tipping with a credit card has a lower value to the server.

All tips are notionally taxable income, whether a server chooses to declare all their cash tips is their choice, when you tip with a credit card it stops being their choice - and there's no way of telling how much of the tip is diverted by the establishment.

That has nothing to do with what has happened here and has been argued ad nauseam in other threads already. In short: the only aspect of bitcoin that may be considered an instance of the greater fool theory is the idea that it is a guarenteed investment. Obviously it is not, and this news has nothing to do with bitcoin as an investment vehicle anyway.
lol, those comments are quite geeky :D
Really? Who has pleasant experiences with cops besides other cops? Honest question.
Super disappointed in Plantiga - especially that nonsense about the moon. No one believed the moon existed because people acted crazy.

Generally I disagree that litigation is ever the answer. But in this case OP should take their jobs because they don't deserve to wear the badge.

I admit that I dislike cops and that I've never had a positive interaction with one. But there are some cops who legitimately want to do a good job and make their city safer. And these guys are shitting all over that.
Video all interactions with police more serious than a traffic stop and video those if you can get away with it legally. Cameras are cheap and Internet streaming is easy.

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

So I know for a fact that if I eat large quantities of gluten, I break out in a rash and get a headache. I'm not a diagnosed Celiac sufferer, because I've been told it's an invasive test[1], and I'm not going to back to my symptoms and a gluten-filled diet just for confirmation.

I feel better when I don't eat bread - but I do buy gluten-free stuff once in a while, because, well, I can do without bread/pastries most of the time but really like to fill a craving once in a while, and I'd prefer not to suffer my symptoms.

After reading the first paragraph I already knew where this was headed.

White America welcome to black America. You'll be arrested for nothing at all. The first time it happens you'll be really upset and threaten to sue, and file a police report. And when you do there will be some sort of roadblock, they won't have the forms, the officer in question wasn't on shift that night, the detective is quite hostile to you, the victim.

You'll learn what I've learned. Don't trust the police for shit. All of the things I've listed I've done and it only made life difficult until I left for college.
You just said "I'm going to fucking kill you." If context does not matter (which is the entire premise of this case), then you are just as guilty as Justin. Are you still so eager to police speech?
Noting your criticism of another comment on this story let me tell you this comment of yours comes across as equally if not more vapid. No one, I think, doubts that there exist good cops. But thats almost irrelevant because its the bad ones that one has to watch out for. You have not claimed so,its not a response to you, but I also dont think "only a few bad apples here and there" holds as well as one would like either.

If SR was re-issuing coins automatically, it's because they were being intentionally stupid.

MtGox was re-issuing coins automatically. Due to this, Gox has lost money. Possibly a huge amount. Were they being intentionally stupid, or just stupid?

Source: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7222690

This transaction malleability flaw is certainly a convenient excuse. But if these people implemented their wallet software in the same manner as Gox, then they would've suffered the same fate: a loss of thousands of coins, which is exactly what they claim happened.

You said:

> You can't block on a `Future`

Which answers my question. Thank you.

But then you also said:

> it's exactly the same code that gets run on Scala-JVM

That can't be exactly true, since "Awaitable" [1] doesn't appear anywhere in the scala-js codebase. So I guess as long as you don't mention that trait by name, or attempt to block on a future, then your effectively duck-typed Scala-JVM code will be able to run unmodified on Scala-JS.

And that is improved by adding unrelated dingles to the app?
The analogy's not quite the same though; it's good to teach spelling, punctuation and grammar, but they're not the end goal. Indeed my Google-fu can't find any reference to a "Year of Spelling", a "Year of Punctuation", a "Year of Grammar" or, indeed, a "Year of Text".

I can, however, easily find links for "Year of Reading", "Year of Writing" and "Year of Literature".
Well, look who it is.

Why is my username relevant? Show me where I suggest that no bad cops exist. However, "police are never your friend" is an exaggeration.
Exactly. No good deed goes unpunished.

When you call 911, don't you get the option for Police, Fire or Ambulance? That is the way it works in Australia.
Memory efficiency? The last time I checked namedtuple dynamically generates code for a class with the specified fields, and evals the code. So it would be exactly as efficient as a normal class. For memory efficiency you want to have multiple points in a single array, to avoid the overhead of objects, but you'd need Numpy or Cython for that.
It's high time to just make the cops wear video cameras. A whole lot of this sort of crap could just vanish.
they're nothing but another gang and the only good cop is a dead cop.

Hacker News is rapidly becoming Reddit. Reddit has its place, but this is not a good thing.
Me. Last night, actually, and it wasn't the first time.

Here's another honest question: do you actually believe that nobody has pleasant experiences with police?
The point I'm making is not that it's bad to ask for a discount. I do it all the time :)

The only difference is I don't ask for discounts before trying a product and determining that it fits my needs and I actually want to purchase.

The advice I give is to ask people politely to trial your product first and then offer them a discount if they actually confirmed that they like it
All those features are hogshit, completely irrelevant, and extremely complicated and difficult to achieve. I have never once watched a movie and said "I didn't like that movie. Let me watch it again with taller actors and more rounded furniture."

thank you for your honest answer. Some food for thought for your marketing department: I'm interested in your product, but because I can't easily incorporate it into a puppet script to install into my virtualbox dev environment like I can with MongoDB, I'm probably gonna pass on it for now.
Indeed. The minor change for me has been that the slightly annoying question I'm most likely to be asked on any given day has transitioned from "What's that?" to "Oh, you're one of those people?"—which is, at worst, a push.

The major change is that everyone else's favorite fad diet has made my mandatory dietary restrictions so much easier to manage.

I will say that prepared food is still very much a roll of the dice, as those who maintain a gluten-free diet by choice tend not to care a whit about cross-contamination. Hence most businesses catering to them often don't make it a consideration.

There are exceptions though; I can walk into any In'n'Out and order my burger "Protein style, allergy" and whoever makes it will change their gloves, cook everything in an area away from where the buns are toasted, and spread condiments with a clean knife. One of the many reasons why In'n'Out is not merely one of the best fast food restaurants in the world, but simply one of the best things in the world.
