Well, looks like they've got a few options given what others in their "Old School Early '90's triphop" cohort have done: 1) hope for a Black Eyed Peas - like resurgence; 2) get a reality show (worked for RDMC); and 3) 40-something OG's and B-Girls are likely to have more disposable income than their 18-year old off spring, doing the tours might just be a comfortable enough plan...

I asked a question yesterday that was voted to close within 5 minutes by an admin, followed by 3 more. It was a normal programming question in an area I needed help in. Luckily, several non-admins helped me out and answered my question. I consider myself an experienced programmer but programming is so broad and quickly evolving. Sometimes we just need a nudge in the right direction on new topics. I'm sure others are in the same boat. That is no longer acceptable with SO.

I used to be a daily visitor to SO and was active in the early days when Jeff and Joel were active and I felt part of the community. After recently seeing moderators rampantly closing questions as if to say 'I consider your question unproductive or unintelligent by my standards', I rarely visit.

Apparently Code Golf is considered a valid question while questions lacking extreme detail that may help people are not.....

How To Build A CLI Tool With Node.js And PhantomJS
I had a friend call the paramedics from home when she got seriously injured. The police did not show up. USA.
I liked the idea, but didn't enjoy the book. It was frustrating to see concepts only partially explored. For example: Apparently nobody in the civilization thought of using non-voting shares.
Well good thing that I didn't define it tautologically like that then.

Instead, I suggested - as did your parent comment - that support contracts are very important to "enterprise" shops. That can be considered a defining characteristic in so much as nebulous terms have defining characteristics. And if you don't understand the importance of those support contracts, a lot of their behaviour will appear strange.

It's simply a fact that a lot of these companies officially support RedHat, often Suse, sometimes CentOS, but rarely so far for Ubuntu Server. That may change, but Ubuntu is definitely not there yet.
Since the Google hate on HN is strong now days (since they have lots of money), shouldn't we be happy they are providing a bus service?

These employees might drive to work (worse for the environment) if this bus service was not provided since public transportation might not service where they live.
this is ignoring several key costs associated with bitcoin:

1) knowledge (the average person needs to invest time to learn what bitcoin is, how to use it, how to protect themselves from fraud, etc.)

2) hidden cost of buying and selling bitcoin (bid ask gap) that is, no one really uses bitcoin, they barter with it between currency transactions with real currencies like USD or Euro, this cost is appx. 2-3%

3) the cost of loss due to fraud, theft, etc. and zero recourse when that happens (there have been so many examples, I'll just leave you to google specific cases)

In the end, when you calculate these implicit and explicit costs, bitcoin comes out to cost about the same or more than existing transaction options. But with the added 'advantage' of having zero recourse if anything goes wrong (libertarian wet dream) and requiring your Aunt Judy to learn fun new things like blockchains, hashes, encryption, etc.

Yay!

The typical fee for a simple transaction is currently 0.0001 BTC (~$0.07), not $0.38.

I also do not think it is fair to say off-chain bitcoin transactions are free. There is some cost in implementing, running and securing an off-chain database of balances.

>>> A Poker Site didn't make any claims of guaranteed returns on your 'investment.'

This is irrelevant. They didn't need to make any guarantees on investment, they just needed more players. Just because they didn't need to bait people to play doesn't mean it wasn't a Ponzi scheme.

What defines a Ponzi Scheme is this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ponzi_scheme

"A Ponzi scheme is a fraudulent investment operation that pays returns to its investors from existing capital or new capital paid by new investors, rather than from profit earned by the individual or organization running the operation"

Which is exactly what FTP was doing.

Those credit card fees are really high. Ie in the US they're closer to 1.5% for any merchant doing decent volumes.

Many of the fees associated with non Bitcoin transactions reflect the cost of regulation. So until Bitcoin is regulated these comparisons are misleading. (and it will need to be subjected to some types of regulations if it wants broad adoption vs niche adoption)

Lastly, LevelUp is trying to do the "very cheap to no fee processing" and making it up with mining data and providing BI services for a fee back to their merchants. Not sure if they'll succeed or not.

Also, I wonder if it handles X-Forwarded-For headers that contain multiple IP addresses, because there are multiple levels of proxying taking place.

Also. No IPv6? How boring.
Ok sure, that makes sense, if the qualification is SLAs and the like. I bet RedHat dominates in that case.
That makes more sense. I was wondering why the fee for $1 worth of BTC was listed so high.
It's very easy to sit at your computer and say these things. But once you've been in solitary for no real reason, for hours and hours, with no knowledge of when you're going to get out, your opinion changes about how you should deal with police. I had the same experience. Give us your ID! I declined reasonably, stating my states law on the matter. They then started harassing me, pushing me around. "You don't have any rights." etc. Taken to county, solitary for 18 hours. I'd like to avoid that in the future.

They are referring to this article on Slate - http://www.slate.com/articles/business/moneybox/2014/02/airb...

> If you’re looking for a place to stay in Marfa this evening, there are a total of five options available. In the six year history of Airbnb, only 17 properties have ever been booked in Marfa. So it’s difficult to argue that Airbnb is having any impact on the housing market in this community.

> So I take it you code in PHP and don't understand the necessity to have other programming languages.

New programming languages are an effect, not a cause; they're designed as improvements on existing ones, and even quite disparate programming languages share a lot of common vocabulary. When a particular programming language is experimenting with a new paradigm, or is the best language for particular circumstances, it lives, but old, obsolete languages are allowed to die. Many natural languages offer no advantages over the alternatives, and should be allowed to die in the same way.

> Learning another language is a foundational step towards becoming a better communicator. And software development is fundamentally about communication. Even if you don't need the other languages you learn, you are still a better developer for having learned it.

Learning another language is a horribly inefficient way to improve your communication ability. A lot of it is just rote memorization, or internalizing categorizations that made sense at some point in the last thousand years.

> I also think it is inexcusable for a software developer to not be an extremely competent writer of their native, spoken language. If you can't express yourself with clarity and without ambiguity in your native tongue of English/Russian/Japanese/Dutch/etc., then you have no business writing code in your non-native tongue of Java/Ruby/Python/C/etc.

But many of those programming languages are better for thinking in than the corresponding human languages. A huge amount of the development of mathematics, what lets us solve problems at the undergraduate level where it used to take a genius to even find a few special cases, was simply coming up with the right notation for things.

They say the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing. Well, that's wrong. For evil to triumph, all the good men must be gone, because a good man won't do nothing when faced with evil.

Whenever a bad cop does a bad thing, and no one steps in to stop it, there are no good cops left. Whenever the thin blue line is deployed to protect one of their own, it damns the entire company. Qui custodiet custodes, indeed. Andy Griffith retired long ago, and Barney Fife rose to power. Now there's no one responsible left to tell him when he can and cannot put his bullet in.

Poor whites and Hispanics aren't nearly as dangerous as poor (young, male) blacks. There is not another comparable group that manages to commit 27% of murders as 1% of the population. That's a huge ratio.

Keep in mind, most black males will never kill anyone. But black males commit a plurality of murders in the US. And 1 in 3 will spend some time in jail in his life. 1 in 7 American black men are in jail at any moment.

Remember, there are more whites in poverty than total blacks in the United States, and blacks commit 48% of murders.

If you're in an urban environment, don't be a progressive hero and try not to avoid young black males. It can be dangerous[1][2]

My husband and I have separate accounts, but we have access to them, if that make sense. We split shared expenses (example, he pays electricity, I pay cell phone). We split rent. We take turns paying for groceries or other shared items, depending on budget (One pays for groceries for a while after the other just paid for tuition/big purchase/other). We trust eachother that money is managed well and will run numbers by eachother when we feel it is needed. The biggest thing is communication, especially about expectations.

A single generation from 128 to 320 wouldn't be too terrible, mind - it'd probably be noticeable to most people on half-decent speakers, but it wouldn't totally wreck the music. A second generation from that lossy-sourced 320 would probably start to get pretty grating, though.

If you're thinking of doing it for artistic reasons, though, I'd say you're more likely to get better results from a judicious selection of high- and low-pass filters, with a flanger or two thrown in.

Any plans for IPv6 support?
No technical details, no indication of the system's output power, nothing but material suitable for people who don't know anything and won't know any more after reading.
That said, we would like to at least formally verify that the core subset of Rust's type system is sound. That has important practical implications for Servo: it means that any (potentially exploitable) memory safety problems in the safe part of Servo will be of the "straightforward compiler bug" variety and not the "oh no, now we have to redesign the type system and break everyone's code" variety.
This is interesting. IP address databases are typically bought and sold for figures in the thousands. This service presumably purchases one or some of these and attempts to make up the cost by providing it on an as-needed basis.

I wonder if there are any additional data sources that can just be bought wholesale and sold in pieces? Think of all the applications that needed very precise IP address data but couldn't afford the whole dataset. They can now exist!

I could also be wrong and this isn't at all the approach this service takes...

You're leaving out entire swaths of the DoI that explain where natural rights come from. But I find it interesting you pick part of the document to argue for what you want, and then try to lecture me about your own philosophy of where the rights come from.
The key point to basic income, in my opinion, is that it seems like it would increase social welfare while minimally distorting prices and being cheap to administer.
So let's take this to its logical conclusion, that lots of people don't work/do "useless" jobs, but still want to buy high-demand goods. Demand gets higher, and prices for those goods go up. Does this break the economic signalling mechanism? I'd argue that it doesn't, price signals are still firmly in place. Producers of high-demand goods can afford to raise salaries and attract more workers. There is still an incentive to work.
On top of that, necessary goods with a satiation point (e.g. food and shelter) would be more resistant to these effects. You don't need more food than you can eat or more houses than you can live in. If you aren't working, you still have to mind your money and budget accordingly; it's not like everything is free.

I'm starting to think that an intelligent species with the social hierarchy that we have, can only go to a certain level of advancement.

Then it becomes impossible to move further, without changing the social schema. Possibly into a hive form, where everything is easier to manage.

From an engineering point of view, it's the perfect choice: easy to manage, easy to enhance, divide labour and what not. From a social point of view, yikes.

Is there a branch of sociology or something that study the effects of different social schemas?

No consumer lost money in a US bank in 2008. The FDIC and its related organizations protected depositors for $100,000 per person per bank. That was upped to $250,000 during the crisis.

Anybody interested in what happened from that perspective should read Shelia Bair's "Bull by the Horns". It's a readable and engaging account of the financial crisis from her experience as the head of the FDIC. She's a Republican and along the way makes a great Republican case for the value of strong financial regulation as necessary to an effective market economy.

What a cool library! keep it up man!
The "free" game sucks. It is intentionally entirely gimped. Playing Dungeon Keeper Mobile "for free" allows you, what, 5 minutes of gameplay per day? The whole game design is centered on making money with IAP. Even if you had unlimited funds, you still have to deal with the in-game store layer (e.g. "click here to spend X to do this thing"...not fun gameplay).

With Doom, they just make a full and complete game without a ton of distractions designed to continually sap money from you.

It's like getting "free Internet!!!" but it's at dial-up speed and you have to jump through a bunch of hoops and layers of microtransactions just to get a decent experience. Most people would rather pay a a simple up-front fee and not deal with that BS.

That's kind of crazy -- more than one out of ten is an illegal hotel as per their own statistics.
Well, I recently had my cable demarcation box colonized by fire ants, so if tawny crazy ants are worse, maybe I should just move now.
They used nail polish to seal the acidopore of one group of crazy ants, and simply sham-treated a second control group. After coming into contact with fire ant venom, the crazy ants with the sealed acidopores—which could not secrete any chemical defenses—had a survival rate of just 48 percent, whereas 98 percent of the control group survived. Clearly, something originating from the acidopore was increasing the survival of ants covered in venom.

Should we give them the benefit of the doubt and assume the nail polish can't cause that effect?

edit: having now read the paper, there was no mortality in controls with their acidopore sealed with nail polish.
