Oh sorry - it was the bit about non-operational/replica parts that caught my eye. I agree that even the best laser sintering is probably way below the mechanical tolerances required for aeronautics applications, but it seems like it would be a great way to build models and do things like engine cutaways etc.

Satoshi's Dilemma

Satoshi has created a new currency, a cryptocurrency. The currency has become more popular and valuable than Satoshi could have imagined. Satoshi now holds almost $1 Billion of his new currency. Due to the currencies psuedo-anonimity, low liquidity and it's value in illicit trade it is far too dangerous for Satoshi to cash in and reveal himself...
> It isn't hypocritical

Wrong, full stop. It's actually the literal dictionary definition of hypocrisy.

The problem I have is not being a hypocrite, it's not being cognitively able to acknowledge it.

> If I disagree with communism should I refuse work and perish from starvation?

No, of course not. But you can recognize that you are helping perpetuate the system you disagree with. You may be empowered to resolve that conflict or not, but not the conflict exists at all? Now that's a problem. It fundamentally delegitimizes all of your arguments.

> That is where the sin is.

Definitely not interested in arguing where the sin is. Or how lamentable and pathetic a coerced situation you've found yourself in that you have no choice but to hypocrize yourself while insisting you aren't. You can also be coerced into hypocrisy.

Redefining words or insisting that you really truly dearly hold the set of beliefs you hold, yet are working against, doesn't modify the nature of the universe.

The truth is, it doesn't matter if you are a hypocrite. Everybody commits a little hypocrisy all the time. I don't like sweat shops, but man if cheap shirts made in unregulated developing countries don't fill my closet.

I don't have a particular problem with your beliefs, you've selected your chosen set of ideological axioms and have chosen to work off of those. I'm not even remotely interested in debating those.

What I'm interested in what happens when you violate your beliefs, do you acknowledge that violation, or do you try to fold space-time around your beliefs and act as if nothing at all ever happened.

This looks intriguing and I will likely try it out.

As an aside, half of the links under "Features" are not actually links, and half of ones that are links go to the same page without any anchors. It is confusing from a design perspective. Please at least consider changing the ones that are not links to not appear the exact same as links.

Well, I think the basic idea is that if you aren't driven primarily by profit, then as long as the other guy isn't putting you out of business, you have no need to put him out of business. Two gas stations can exist near each other and be quite profitable.
I'm confused by all this. I find the drama interesting, but Newsweek quoted this:

"I am no longer involved in that and I cannot discuss
it," he says, dismissing all further queries with a
swat of his left hand. "It's been turned over to other
people. They are in charge of it now. I no longer have
any connection."

Did the reporter really lie about this statement? That seems like really a massive stretch, to me.
Was thinking the same thing. Maybe it's easier to browse through since it's very narrow/niche? Hopefully OP can shed some light.

Take the one with higher pay. If this is your first job, either job will serve well as a learning experience.

Use that pay to build up your savings - ideally, you'd should have at least enough money to survive 6 months without pay. Once you achieve that, you'll have enough financial independence to be able to choose your own adventure, and hopefully you'll have enough experience to make an informed decision.

Starting with 2: an HTML form specifies a URL in the action property. When the form is submitted, the browser POSTs the field values to that URL.

This means you need a web server set up to handle POSTs to some URL with a script that will save the data into your DB. One very common way to do this is to run Apache as your web server and have it run a PHP script to massage the data & store it in a MySQL DB. Apache + MySQL + PHP = the AMP part of LAMP/MAMP/etc.

I'm sure you can find quick & dirty PHP example scripts to do this kind of thing. However, if you plan to put this out on the web at some point, you need to worry about all kinds of data integrity and security issues. In that case you're better off adopting some framework that will do all that work for you.

Before heading in that direction, I would research whether your needs are simple enough that you could use a no-SQL DB and have your browser-side JS post the form data as a json array straight into something like MongoDB.

All depends what you're trying to do in the long run, of course...

He has hundreds of millions of dollars in untraceable (if you know what you are doing) e-currency, protected only by keys presumably on his person, in his house, or otherwise nearby.

It's unfortunately not uncommon for strangers to be killed over a few thousand dollars cash. Apparently professional hit men charge only a little more than that.

Who is Keyser Söze?
We can only speculate, but I'd imagine the real Satoshi is a human being and doesn't want an uninvolved senior citizen (and his relatives, including a 90 year old mother) to be made targets for violent crime.

It's highly ironic that the media paints cryptocurrency as tools for a coldhearted clique that only cares for their own material wealth, yet they're the ones cruelly exposing someone who has done them no wrong and (in the case of the Newsweek journalist) refusing to apologize. What happened to kindness and respect?

It's similar to other Platform as a Service options. You build the app you want. The benefit is that you don't have to worry about setting up and scaling the architecture. For example you could deploy WordPress on AppFog PaaS. I don't think bluemix officially support PHP but PHP is there. Blue mix supports node or rails. so basically any node or rails app you wanted to build could be hosted.
Or the reporter misunderstood, and English wasn't his first language. Which certainly seems to be the case. See the AP's updated story.

Alleged Bitcoin creator pursued in L.A. car chase
This is a nice way of putting things. There's a school of thought that says if things work how it says somewhere that they should work, then no part of the system is exhibiting a problem. But just in this thread we can see Python's insane treatment of default function parameters called a "bug in the language". I've long been mad about what I can only think of as a bug in the Java spec: bit shifts use the base-32 modulus of their actual operand. Sure, the specification says that that's what they're supposed to do, but when I ask the JVM to fill a 32-bit value with 40 zeroes from the right, I expect one of the only two sane results -- an exception or whatever value 32 zero bits represents. I'm pretty sure there is no circumstance where shifting in 8 zeroes could be correct or useful.

Gonna file your comment under "Bitcoin enthusiasts declare total victory for not X"

On what planet is this not evidence:

"Newsweek writer Leah McGrath Goodman, who spent two months researching the story, told the AP: "I stand completely by my exchange with Mr. Nakamoto. There was no confusion whatsoever about the context of our conversation -- and his acknowledgment of his involvement in Bitcoin."
I've used anonymous sources in many articles. All were published in the Internet era. Not one of my sources was ever involuntarily outed, as far as I know.
From that telling of the story, multiple people made grave mistakes in a relatively short time period.
I think the most compelling evidence that Dorian is Satoshi is described here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7354326
[EDIT: if an eyewitness account is compelling enough for you, this is evidence. it is to me, apparently not to some.]

Dorian (as recognized by the retailer) bought a crepe from one of the first retailers to accept bitcoins, the 1st transaction of the crepe retailer's bitcoin address at 1KfQKmME7bQm5AesPiizWk6h3JPUekwoBC for 2.2 bitcoins on July 17 2011, can check the Crepe twitter feed: twitter.com/Ocrepes - "The award for being the first customer who bought crepes for @bitcoins goes to ... anonymous (the winner refused to reveal identity)"

Tracing those addresses/transactions back leads to large volume addresses.

Security and Wordpress seem to be disconnected.
Completely agree. C# has this right. An expression must produce a valid boolean value, the language does not evaluate any random type as boolean based on a set of rules.

E.g. you can't say following in C#

if(number) //number is of type integer.

if(o1) //o1 is a reference type variable.

if("string")

if(number = 10) // number = 10 is an assignment and produces 10.

You must write:

if(number == 0)

if(o1 != null)

if("string".Length > 0)

if(number == 10)
The trouble with that statement is that, even if you believe it's a verbatim quote, it isn't clear exactly what he said that in response to. We're meant to assume that it's a response to something like "Are you the creator of Bitcoin?", but the fact that the question isn't part of the quote implies that it isn't that clear.

This guy was involved in classified Government work at several companies, and the question could have been either about that, or vague enough that he could have misinterpreted it as being about that, especially if he had never heard of Bitcoin and had no idea what it was.

The quotes are a little questionable too. How many people really believe that an average street cop in a small town in California would say "This is the guy who created Bitcoin? It looks like he's living a pretty humble life." It's entirely possible they've been massaged a bit to be shorter and more clear. It's not like there's a recording of the conversations, at least not that we have access to.

tl;dr Dorian asks reporters for proof of work, then randomly awards the AP reporter one satoshi.
There's absolutely no mention of BitCoin in that quote, the reporter merely implies that BitCoin is the referent by the context of the quote.

Based on my interaction with reporters, it's not a stretch at all for the reporter to misunderstand a part of a conversation, and stick by their misinterpretation. This will happen even on things that could be fact-checked later. I think this strange quirk has something to do with not being influenced by their sources, but I can only guess why they engage in that recipe for inaccuracy.

This is a strange and unhealthy response. What was so hard/uncomfortable about saying "I did not realize" or "I was wrong"? It is okay to be wrong or not know something.
The law can't read your mind or intent, but the court can and will draw inferences from your observed behavior and in this case will almost certainly conclude that you are trolling. Why don't you try learning something about the how the law operates in practice instead of projecting your mechanistic conception onto it? I suggest How Judges Think by Richard Posner, who's quite readable and probably the most widely-cited living legal scholar in the US.

Instead I will walk across everyone's property and if the police eventually stop me, I will say I intended to interview the homeowners but changed my mind.

For example, this might come off as a plausible argument if you walked up a few houses and then turned away, but the plausibility of your argument diminishes in inverse proportion to the number of property lines you cross without acting upon your stated purpose. You seem to think that judges live in some sort of vacuum which renders them incapable of applying common-sense standards or their own experience to the facts of a case. Now, this is arguably the case in some civil law systems - Posner offers an amusing example of a French law which made it illegal to disembark from a stationary train carriage due to a drafting error - but it's a far cry from how our common law system works or has ever worked.

Yet do it on a small scale to harass a single person and it is okay?

Here you're doing something called begging the question - you're assuming your conclusion as a fact. You consider unwanted journalistic attention to an individual to be harassment, and so you ascribe that as a purpose to the journalist. Think about it; the journalist isn't going to someone's house to make their life miserable, but in pursuit of information, which information may (or may not) be an object of legitimate interest. Finding out whether someone is the architect of a multi-billion dollar digital economy seems like an entirely legitimate subject of journalistic inquiry to me.
There is a version of XAMPP[1] for Mac - it comes out of the box with PHP and MySQL. I haven't actually used in on a Mac but on Linux and Windows it's ridiculously easy to stage and run a local site from it.

If i'm reading you right and you're actually thinking about hosting a site from your computer - don't. It's probably not going to work unless you only have like one user at a time and even then you're running the risk of someone rooting your computer and/or running afoul of your ISP if they have rules against running a site over their network, which they might.

If you pick a framework (of which there are many), any one of them is bound to have an ORM which will deal with the database using parameterized queries. Regardless, stay away from the mysql_* functions at all costs. Use PDO, or a library that supports it.

I just tried this:

>>> datetime.timedelta() + datetime.timedelta()
datetime.timedelta(0)
>>> time.time() + time.time()

Seems like time() + time() is not a TypeError in Python.
I am as skeptical about media personalities as anyone else, but I find this explanation hard to swallow. I don't think I would misunderstand a statement like that from a non-native English speaker.

In any case, I have no animosity towards the creator of Bitcoin, and I don't think that the original creator has any need for legal worries. But in the heat of the moment, it seems as if many people are mixing up these two separate ideas.

I went to Walmart and saw a stack of wood pellets (the kind you use for pellet stoves). They are heavy and cost about 10 cents a pound. I live in Wisconsin and the bags they had on sale were made in Georgia. Ironically, there is a huge wood pellet plant not 4 miles from this Walmart, but they could ship a 40 pound bag all the way from Georgia and still sell it for $4.00 bag. They must like to waste gas.
When the Air Force first wanted to retire the A-10, there was an article [1] proposal: Give the A-10s to the Marine Corps.

Even if the machine could not be retrofitted for carrier operations, the Corps could fly them from airfields ashore, and would really value an excellent ground-attack aircraft, and would take good extra-special care of them.

[1] in the Marine Corps Gazette I think.

Unfortunately, that proves nothing.

Early on, there were so few people mining that practically everyone had a "large volume". As such, if you pick any arbitrary bitcoin transaction at that time, it's highly likely it will have originated from a large volume source in the recent past.

I think it's more likely a case of mistaken identity; there are many people in this world, and I think that the chance of someone remembering someone from 3 years ago that they saw for half an hour, tops, with sufficient accuracy for a positive ID is much lower than the chance that there are simply two middle aged asian men who look vaguely similar. It's also improbable that "satoshi" would fly across the country for this purchase.
One person's word is certainly not compelling to me.

Even if that account is 100% accurate, it does not link the man who paid with bitcoins to satoshi, but merely to Dorian. The HN link relies on the flawed NewsWeek article to make the further connection from Dorian to Satoshi.
It's a nice demo. I struggle to see why anyone beyond you, the artist, and a few hardcore fans would care though.

Like I said above, streaming is boring, it's a commodity service. Recommendation and curation are part and parcel of it; that's all you're doing, with a twist. The Echonest drove that. Do something else in music. Something that actually matters. And ideally makes us all BETTER.

And quite apart from all of that, your $1600 headphones are about as good as the bargain basement DAC in your run-of-the-mill laptop, for the average punter. So don't give them away to someone who just doesn't care.

Lithium and lithium compounds can be toxic:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithium#Precautions

The batteries envisioned by Ambri would be enormous, shipping-container-sized things sitting (stationary) in the same place (e.g. electrical substations) for decades. If one cracked open, it would be a bad day at the plant, but nothing like a nuclear reactor meltdown. It could probably be back to normal in days or weeks.

The fact that the Ambri batteries are made using abundant materials means that those very materials are already present, in vast quantities, in the environment.
