Here's a very interesting, recent research paper that seems to corroborate AND defy the "sugar is evil" statement:

Dietary composition and its associations with insulin sensitivity and insulin secretion in youth. - While long-term excess of energy intake has been shown to lead to overweight and obesity, dietary macronutrient composition is not independently correlated with insulin sensitivity (IS) and insulin secretion (ISct). HOWEVER, For every 1 % increase in daily protein intake (%), Area-Under-Curve(AUC) Insulin/Glucose t= 30 min decreased by 1·1 % (P= 0·033).

FYI - increase of AUC is correlated with glycemic response to foods. [2]

The reversibility of bitcoin is no different from passing around physical dollar bills. If you want to reverse a transaction involving actual cast, you must convince the other person to give it back, or physically wrest possession of the currency from them.

Reversibility shows up when you do transactions in a bank or other third party that can reverse the transaction on its own accord. There's no theoretical reason why this can't happen with bitcoin instead - you give your BTC to a hypothetical, highly regulated bank or broker or whatever, and then the transaction is exactly as reversible as any electronic transaction using dollars. The confusion sets in when you compare Bitcoin transactions with electronic transactions using fiat currency, when they're closer in many ways to physical cash transactions in nature.

"none of these alternate init systems did the hard work to actually become a replacement init system for anything much"

And yet again, the anti-init-choice people show how they still don't understand the argument many of us have against the systemd change.

This accusation presupposes that a change was necessary or desired in the first place. Sorry, no, some of these things should not be tied together. Without that tying, we already have (known, tested) tools that cover most of these features.

Yes, I understand that some people have needs that require more (or different) features in their init process. So they should use systemd or whatever else solves those needs. Requirements and uses for general purpose computers vary a lot, though - especially in an environment like UNIX that encourages customization. My needs, for example, were mostly met by OpenRC's reworking of sysvinit. Some minor customization solved that problem completely. I recognize that some people see systemd as a good fit for their needs. Why do the anti-choice people refuse to recognize that other people might have different requirements.

Again, I'm fine with systemd, as an option. It's the bundling and takeover of all the other tools that is a large part of the problem. Blaming others because we didn't implement your made up requirements is another part. Acting like a monopoly and tying other projects together to force upgrade because of vertical integration is yet another part that makes me question motive in addition to the technical issues.

You want us to support systemd? Disconnect it from other stuff like the INIT (pid=0), the logger, and IPC (dbus). Allow all those to remain as they were previously. Let systemd be just the process launcher/manager, and allow let all of those parts work stand-alone with existing tools. Note: providing more features when your tools are used together is fine (and expected). This way, the software can stand on it sown, and if it really is big of an improvement as the systemd supports suggest, the migration will happen naturally over time.

If, on the other hand, using one tool continues to have the requirement of trading many other system-level tools that I already know and use, for unproven newcomers that seem to ignore the lessons of the past, well... I'm sticking with what already works.

The fact is is someone else's money directly modifies the costs to you, and therefore changes the risk/reward calculation. There is no implication that you wouldn't work as hard simply because it isn't your money.

I (Greg Maxwell) am the one of the two "Bitcoin core developers" mentioned in the MtGox press release. My source is Mark Karpeles directly.

I do not know how much they lost. Most of my discussion with them was before I think they knew exactly how much they lost. I had assumed, by the nature of the issue, that it wasn't likely to be much. I'm a little less sure of it based on their behavior since this weekend and due to finding out that there software was automatically issuing reissuing transactions that it didn't think had been paid out.
This is a GREAT idea. I've got 4 kids and we put them in all sorts of camps/activities in the summer. Last summer they did tennis camp, surf camp, dance camp, baseball camp, art camp, and some others I can't recall. So, this is definitely something I'd use.

Now, as for the implementation, here's what frustrates me: You don't serve my city (San Luis Obispo, CA). Furthermore, you don't state anywhere on your home page "Serving San Francisco & Seattle. Put in your email and zip code and we'll notify you when we have your town." You should REALLY do that.

For this issue, you should also take a "backwards compatibility" approach (as Chris Dixon put it [1]). Getting more camps in new cities is hard–I get it. But, just about every city in America has a parks and recreation department and most of them publish their summer activities in a PDF guide. So, you get an intern and have him/her gather the URLs to every PDF available in California. Then Oregon. Then Washington and so on. I come to your site and put in my zip code–you say "Hey, we don't have anything in your city yet but here's your local activity guide" BAM ... backwards compatibility.

Marketplaces are hard. Keep up the good work.

Google has done an enormous amount to improve and deploy what Ben Adida called "b2c crypto" -- typically turning it on months to years ahead of its main competitors, and actively supporting work on making it stronger. But they've done almost nothing to encourage the use of "p2p crypto" in Adida's sense, at least not as a product feature.

I support the widespread routine use of p2p crypto, but I think Google deserves credit for what it has done. That includes making b2c crypto "routine" for most products, which does have direct effects on dragnet surveillance.

All that sugar blaming is just a fad and it will pass on, the main problem with sugar is that is almost always accompanied with tons of fat, you would not believe it. Take raw potato with <1g of fat on a kilo, and french fries that have 154g of fat per kilo! Are carbs from potato the problem?

I've been doing Keto for 5 weeks now, it's an improvement and very easy to follow. Restricting calories is definitely a good way to approach weight loss. I'm so far happy with all the results.
Not true--it causes constipation.
The willing ignorance of East Asia is part of it, but it's more that a lot of the keto diets I've seen draw people in with tirades against refined sugar and starch, yet it ends up with the dieters counting the carbs in their lettuce to maintain their ketosis. How do we get from Coca-Cola being evil to ketosis being necessary? It's a false dichotomy and as crazy to me as 0% fat yoghurt, but people only seem to respond to one extreme or the other.

So let me get this straight - a US based company can accept UZS (Uzbek Sum) payments from clients in Uzbekistan and Stripe will convert the UZS funds into USD?

I DO NOT BELIEVE THIS!!!

What are the strings attached? Any limitations?

I mean Uzbekistan has one of the most messed up economies in the world. Only here a used car costs more than a new car (I am not kidding) and Uzbekistan practically has non-existent conversion. People usually use black market to convert UZS to USD.

Thus, I cannot believe you pulled it off. And if you did do it, who do I talk to at Stripe to find out the details and rates?

I don't think MtGox has confirmed any losses, nor would I expect them to. But consider both the way they've spoken about the issue (https://www.mtgox.com/press_release_20140210.html)...

"In the meantime, exchanges and wallet services - and any service sending coins directly to third parties - should be extremely careful with anyone claiming their transaction did not go through."

...and nullc's speculation just before the latest blamestorming (http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1x93tf/some_irc_cha...)...

"Worse, some of this may have resulted in users getting paid multiple times and could have been intentionally triggered with that end in mind if someone helpfully fixed some transactions and then noticed they got paid twice. (I think this is unlikely to have caused large losses, before people run off worrying about that, both because of the reuse of the oldest inputs and because of the hot wallet/cold wallet split)."

Thus I find it reasonable to surmise, based on MtGox's own description of the risk, that MtGox has in some cases issued unnecessary redundant payments to customers complaining that "it's been days and the TXID you reported still hasn't shown up!"

An earlier MtGox issue nullc also mentions – using too-young coins – could similarly have resulted in double-payments. (MtGox issues a transaction that can't confirm; customer complains and gets 2nd transaction issued that confirms; first transaction later confirms when coins have aged enough.) If so, that perhaps helped train MtGox customers, even if not MtGox itself, for the redundant-payment potential from malleability.
Perhaps you should blog about "Generics in Go discussions"? Then you would have some proof and dispel mistruths about Go. I would also get excited, since reality seems like Go developers don't care that much about generics.

"init wars" what a joke. the fact that systemd has "declared war" on other init implementations is all the information I need.
It can't really - the problem with PulseAudio was that it was adopted by a major Linux distribution before it was ready for primetime. It worked well after a while.

Systemd is has been the main init system of several distributions (like Fedora) for some time now, so I wouldn't worry.

Why do you say CS takes one of the easiest fields in mathematics? People have been studying CS since long before we had computers and there are still famous open problems. If the math is so easy perhaps you'd like to give a proof for P=NP (or P!=NP) and claim your million dollars? Do you really think CS is all discrete math and graph theory? I don't go around claiming physics is easy because Newtonian mechanics are simple. I'd also argue that math only gets interesting once you take the numbers away. If all you're doing is number crunching you should probably just write some code instead. Computers are good at that sort of thing.

In my experience the real disconnect with CS degrees is expectations about what is and what should be taught. A lot of students want a vocational program. Universities end up teaching a hodgepodge of topics such as how to write code in a particular language, program design/software engineering, algorithms and complexity, discipline specific specialties (e.g. AI, OSes), computability, etc.

When I was in university I was taught how to debug my code with ddd and gdb. Was this a waste of my time because I no longer use them? Of course not. Everything I learned with them carries over to the debuggers I use everyday. My degree also covered several languages that I've never used outside of classes. The skills I learned learning them help me any time I want to pick up a new language and start coding.

Code is not a primary tool for expressing algorithms and concepts. Code is how I tell the computer what to do. If code was so good for communicating concepts and algorithms to other people I wouldn't need to write comments. I also haven't seen any algorithm books that include real code. The closest you'll get there is MIX. Good luck programming a real application in that.
