Racism in Vancouver: We Need to Stop Pretending It Doesn't Exist (http://groupthink.jezebel.com/racism-in-vancouver-we-need-to...)

This fact is why newspapers are dead, and online content continues to blossom. In the information age, there's absolutely no excuse for the content they produce to cost $1500/year per subscription.

In fact, that's where we hit the real problem: the kind of content that is covered with advertisements is usually not very good content to begin with.

This is especially true of content aggregators and meta sites such as Reddit and to some extent, this website. The content isn't even theirs: they are simply hosting a discussion forum about the content. A new-agey one instead of the old BB sites, but it's nonetheless exactly the same.

What content providers should be learning is that people are willing to pay for good content. Quality absolutely matters. The 90s and 00s were all about quantity, but now we're up to the rafters with disposable content. Look at the shows with the best ratings today: Game of Thrones, Mad Men, Breaking Bad. Exceptional content quality, heavily pirated because the content creators have failed to adapt to new media distribution. The fact that I can torrent GoT more easily than I can view it from HBO is tragic.

So there's your dose of education for the day.
Also for node programmers there is https://github.com/mranney/node_pcap I remember doing some pcap C programming some years ago but node with its streaming nature and powerful js derived abstractions is just so much more satisfying to me, simply less boilerplate and tons of fun - don't fall too far down the well.. then again it's Saturday tomorrow! ;)

And in the same vein, while I'm not defending those who put their entire life savings into Bitcoin, to put their entire balance into an online wallet strikes me as the worse way to go about that. Paper wallets aren't comparable to dollar bills. They're comparable to security vaults from everyone online who would seek to separate people from their money.
Absolutely, unless you're writing end-user documentation.
There's a human 'set point' for fear. If there aren't enough real things of which to be afraid, the mind will latch onto the next-most-credible things, even if relatively farfetched.

With current long lives, lower crime, domestic peace, reasonable prosperity, and social insurance, there's a lot less to genuinely fear, in the US, than ever before. Without the challenges and stresses of full-time, market work, the retired are especially lacking in 'common project' or 'tribal team' fears (as opposed to say personal-health or relationship fears).

Politics, among other industries, competes to answer this craving for objects-of-fear. The cable-news/permanent-political-campaign/crusading-government-busybodies nexus is an extremely efficient, low-cost, high-emotional-salience provider. Small staffs, recurring themes, and grandiose good-vs-evil narratives can be constantly redeployed, as a neverending modern fairy-tale with the added sheens of 'reality' and 'import'.

Compare also: the hygiene hypothesis, for how an immune system unchallenged by real threats may tend towards misguided allergic or autoimmune overreactions.

Your parent is arguing that the lines drawn along race are merely correlated, rather than the cause. Thus, not institutional racism.

In other words, the system is failing people not because of their colour, culture, or ethnic origin, but because of their class, which happens to roughly line up with race.

The difference between "You are poor because you are Mexican/from Mexico" and "You are poor because you started out poor, and it just so happens that you are from Mexico where a lot of people started out poor".
1. My citations are sketchy. Can you do better? 3rd time I've asked.

2. Does the article call the gold bars "proto-money"? Sure, but now we're just bickering over definitions. The same article says the Egyptians used gold bars as a medium of exchange, which I believe exactly fits what we've been discussing. If you define "currency" to mean something other than a "medium of exchange", then what is the distinction and how is it relevant to Bitcoin?

3. And this brings us back to the original point of contention ITT: Why do you believe a a successful currency (or successful medium of exchange) requires a centralized "standard" despite historical evidence of decentralized "commodity money"?
Let's hope the throes aren't really that deathly :-)
As someone who was affected by this (non-U.S.), I have to say I was very satisfied with how PokerStars handled everything. When Full Tilt was shut down I essentially treated the funds I had on there as a write-off, and was delighted by the windfall of actually being reimbursed some time later.

As soon as your point of view requires me to understand an abstract imaginary analogy-based framework, agree with you about the framework's inherent legitimacy, and submit to your interpretation of my obligations under that framework, you've long since lost my attention.

That's the sort of things people used(?) to complain about C++: gratuitous operator overloading. It sometimes makes sense, but you really need to think long and hard about the semantics.
The main issue here is that once a Bitcoin enters a wallet, it's indistinguishable from the other BTC in that wallet. So you'd have to blacklist whole wallets, and since you can't deny payments, people possessing stolen BTC would simply tip anyone trying to enforce this scheme.

Please implement this RFC. I really hope this gets in before Rust 1.0. I'm extremely excited and looking forward to using Rust in all my hobby projects once it stabilizes, but honestly when going through the tutorial this stood out as the only ugly wart in an otherwise amazingly beautiful language.
Paymill is even more expensive than Stripe (as 0.28€ is $0.39), which was already "way too expensive for product whose only value over PayPal seems to be prettier documentation" (especially at the under-$12 price point that most of these digital goods are at, but even at larger points as PayPal will give you bulk pricing on orders-of-magnitude smaller transaction volumes). (I guess maybe with larger transaction ticket pricing the cross-border 1% from PayPal will be higher than the $0.09 fixed-fee different from Paymill? Is that the idea?)

Meanwhile, people who have been actually libertarian for 30 years have to find another word to use for themselves. Again.

If you want to be truly libertarian, guys, you also have to embrace open borders, support non-interventionist foreign policy, and desire that drug prohibitions cease. Defending gun rights and complaining about taxes and welfare is just a tiny part of the package. You can still oppose state-sanctioned gay marriage if you want, but only to the extent that you oppose government involvement in any kind of marriage.

As I am a long-time libertard, the people who talk about freedom after watching Fox News make me laugh. They fill their heads with mass-media talking points all day, meet with like-minded people to create an echo chamber for the ideas they were force-fed, then worry about having adequate self-determination.

When people ask why my site looks so plain I am definitely going to point them here :-)
"Small" obviously depends on your language, but well-named methods which follow the "do one thing and do it well" principle always win over wall-of-text code. It's all a matter of decomposing the issue, finding the level of abstraction your method will work at, and naming things.
Sure, but he implies that the "start-up guy" reflects "programmers" in general, and it really doesn't. There are a lot of programming careers that are as reliable as anything is in this day and age. The kind of programmer who moves to San Francisco to work 90-hour weeks for peanuts in hopes of becoming a billionaire at 25 is wildly overrepresented on Hacker News. He really doesn't represent the average code monkey just trying to put in his 40 hours and get home to his family.

Among the coin traders I know, no one is at all clear on where you're based. You definitely need to be a lot more obvious about it. :-)
I somehow assumed that advertisers know that ads are annoying but they want to do it anyway because this is how they make money. Assuming that they don't know what a pain the whole concept is is somehow scarry.
Companies buy and sell debt a lot. Defaulted debt is still debt. It is a riskier buy and probably comes at a discount. But it is still one company paying another company and assuming the debt collection process. In the case of my mortgages that have been sold numerous times, there is little (or no) risk to the buyer since the payment history is sound and the account is in good standing. They don't need to harass me. They just send me a nice letter telling me where to direct my payment going forward. For defaulted debt, of course there is a risk. They are dealing with people that have already shown they are not [able|willing] to pay. But I don't see any difference between the company that bought my mortgage and the company that bought my neighbor's defaulted mortgage[1]. Although the one might have to get a little more aggressive to get my neighbor to pay up. None of this changes the reality that my neighbor owes money to someone who wants very badly to collect it.

[1] I'll admit that mortgages probably are not handled in the same way as other debt but that was the only high $$ debt I could think of... and it sounds like we're not talking about skipping out on a $100 cable bill here. Perhaps we're talking more about charging $20k on a Visa and then not paying. Feel free to substitute any other example where one person pays their debt and the other does not.

I first noticed the approach on The Verge and their sister site Polygon, and was okay with that. Cut to now, and even a local TV station does it.

To use this on a remote server without making it listen to the wild, keep it listening on localhost only and on your computer you could for instance launch this:

ssh -Nf -L 9999:localhost:57575 remote-server

and then you can go to http://localhost:9999/ with ssh taking care the encrypted connection between you and the remote-server.

You seem to have ignored the long list of "possible typos similar to this one" that were my arguments for why the macro was better than having the developer copy/paste the code every time. The only argument you seem to be making is: "abstraction is bad"; I mean, this same argument (that abstraction hides functionality and values behind opaque names) is also the reason why developers should not write functions...

People have been saying that for decades. Experts claimed it would be impossible to shrink transistors below 1 micron. When that was done, other experts claimed it's impossible to shrink below 100nm.

Yes, Intel does not know how to build 5nm transistors, which are 3 process generations away from the current state of the art (14nm - 10nm - 7nm - 5nm). It's always been like that - for example, when Intel released 90nm technology, they didn't know how to do 22nm.

Yes, a new paradigm or substrate might be required to get there, so what? There's no shortage of new ideas, or new materials. Graphene is looking pretty good. Can't shrink it below atomic dimensions? Put another layer on top!

The only thing that can kill Moore's Law is lack of demand. But as long as people want faster, more efficient computers, they will be getting faster and more efficient. And I don't see the demand decreasing any time soon.
I think you are mostly correct. More precisely, if you take away race you will see that the distinction is 90% education-based. Specifically talking about immigrants, those indians and chinese (and japanese, pakistani, nepalese, korean, iranian, etc) as well as the eastern eropeans that you do not see all have a good education an most likely come from at least the top half of their society.

The Hispanic immigrants are more likely from a lower class an much more likely to have arrived on something like a family visa with no higher education at all.

Yes, there is: system packages should by installed with the system's package manager. Otherwise, you have two systems managing the same set of files, causing tears and suffering.

Packages not installed with the system's package manager should be installed elsewhere, e.g., a local install in a user's home directory, or (in the worst case) /usr/local or /opt.

Value could be pegged to the dollar by having a set number of premined coins with 0 available for mining with these coins given out for dollars. The creators could then hold onto all of the dollars they receive for the coins, as a way for people to cash out at some point in the future to ensure its value. Maybe a design that would allow only the creators to mine new coins, but everyone in the network to verify them could work. I do not know if such a thing currently exists.

It would be better than Paypal in that after initial issue to users it would be somewhat decentralized. The downside is that you have a central agency basically maintaining the value of the coin, so that if they run away with part of the monetary backing, the whole thing probably goes bust.
The more important fact is that in most areas, advertisers are willing to pay more per user than the users would.

There is a selection bias here. Immigrating from Asia is significantly more difficult and expensive than Central America. I would hypothesize that immigrants from these areas are more ambitious, economically better off and more capable on average than immigrants from nearby countries (and maybe even "native" Americans). Additionally, immigrants are more likely to assimilate into local American life and have better relationships with American institutions (police, schools, etc.) than African-Americans who unlike immigrants, didn't choose to be here and are more likely to view such institutions in a negative light.

There appears to be a common confusion that Open Source means "source you can see". Instead Open Source is a made-up word which was created to avoid the confusion associated with Free Software, as in the Free Software Foundation.

That is to say: an "open source" license which does not let you redistribute is not an Open Source license at all. Even Microsoft has not tried to mis-use the term instead using "Share Source" for their, thing.
