> Your question is, how can we make sure people don't hurt other people if there's no government. Well, let's say we all live in this city. Do we want a police force? If we do, we can fund one and have it. Then it will protect us. Same as current taxes for police forces, only at local level. It's no different than having tinier countries. Switzerland is tiny and peaceful and they have a police force but they also have everyone armed and so everyone can help protect others that may be being harmed. And in general you will see less people being harmed if everyone is able to help.

So... are you an anarchist, or just a big fan of small governments? :) I ask because I've seen people who essentially define anarchism as "direct democracy in a town hall model", which is still a government, but try getting them to see that.

Anyway, one problem with this approach is the small government that isn't as small as your government and decides to take you over by force. And then keeps going until it's a large government again, and nobody who disagrees too loudly is left to complain.

Another problem is, well, what if one small government isn't expansionist, but is basically North Korea? Nobody leaves alive, nobody complains and lives, and nobody but the oligarchs has a say in government.

> If everyone likes me then now we're all the more empowered as a town to go on strike and advocate that the company change their hiring policy. But let's say the town hates me, I'm a terrible person. I can try to redeem myself in the eyes of my town by providing services to my townsfolk, slowly building up enough savings to perhaps move out of town.

How about this: Some people like you, but not enough. If they strike, or demonstrate, my police forces kill them and everyone else goes back to work, suitably chastened. My company takes a small hit, but compliance among the workforce is more important to my bottom line than not killing your supporters.

Also: Your plan to scrape up enough resources to leave is overly-optimistic, especially given how much of a following the KKK had in some towns in the 1920s. Do you know what a "sundown town" was?

> I've tried my best to honestly answer your questions. If I haven't addressed your core concerns I invite you to rephrase and we can try again. :)

I do appreciate your honesty. I'm also trying to be honest in this, and to explain myself well.

My core concern is this: We tried it your way, more or less, back in the Gilded Age, a time of big companies largely untroubled by governmental regulations of any kind and local governments largely left alone by state and Federal actions. Why do you think going back to that would not cause a return to the serious social and economic problems the Gilded Age had?

On that note, I run barefoot barefoot (no vibrams or such) in SF a couple of times a week and it is perfectly fine. I don't know what everyone is whining about.

The real issue with SF sidewalks is that they are made with those cement slabs and thus have giant cracks that make it extremely unpleasant to longboard.
FWIW, SBCL does exactly that. You can defun a function and disassemble it right down to assembly. What this project does is slightly different which is to use LLVM to achieve the same thing.

Good point about screen sizes in general, but perhaps you miss the main appeal of small portable devices (aside from aesthetics alone): portability!

You egress filter everything that isn't tor, allowing any outbound connections other than tor will cause leaks.
That is why you have it segmented:

> Put it behind a gateway that acts as an isolating proxy.

You don't NAT - you forward the port required through the gateway machine and to the virtual machine. Either terminate Tor on the gateway and forward the web port, or terminate Tor on the web server and forward the Tor traffic on the gateway.

In that case nothing can request out from the web server. If your server needs to make requests, such as getting the latest bitcoin price - you do that on another server and run a queue that will pull the data over.

As far as I can tell the security is 2 fold:

* transactions are reversible for quite a long time.
* ODFIs (originating banks) are responsible for files they send.

A bad actor can get away with stuff for a while, but sooner or later, their ODFI will cut them off. Those relationships take time to build, so you don't want to be going through them quickly. And there are often deposits and other security protecting the ODFI.

So, the customer says it'sfraud. It's not their bank's problem, they punt to the ODFI. The ODFI is in the business of not taking too much risk, so they yank money from the originator. The Originator, they might be SOL, depending on if they're the one who was scammed, or if they have a way to reclaim the money.
I totally agree. I now live in NYC and have a car, which I use exclusively to leave NYC every month or so. I haven't had any real close calls, but still I can't help but become aggressive after about 15 minutes when driving through the packed streets in Queens, Brooklyn, or Manhattan. You have to take every inch you can as soon as you can, or you aren't getting anywhere anytime soon.

Additionally, the shoulders are always packed with parked and stopped cars, and cars or trucks are always stopping in travel lanes because there's no room on the shoulder and they have to stop to drop off or pick up. It's amazingly frustrating. It leads to the perplexing saying "no one has a car, the roads are too crowded" or something like that.
A lot of traffic is derived from people just looking for somewhere to park. In parts of London people will drive around a dozen streets just looking for that elusive parking space hoping they will catch someone just leaving. This driving is seriously anti-social. Yet planners see this as traffic to accomodate.

We also have one way systems to steer this flow of 'traffic' around so that it 'flows'. This means that even more traffic is generated. People just drive round and round. The distance seems absurd if you cycle and obey the signs yet motorists just go with it. It might be much better if we thought again about that and allowed for natural congestion.

I could build a spare room in the street, it would not take long though for the council to tear down that extra bedroom, studio or whatever it was that I built. Yet I could buy a £200 car, pay a similar sum in tax and park right outside my door to leave the £200 heap there in perpetuity just so long as I paid the tax, which is a fraction of a month's rent for a room.

Why do we have it so motorists have a god given right to park on the streets? We need to think whether we need our streets walled in by tin boxes. Fixing this is easy, we make it so that you cannot park within a distance of a junction, whether that be a junction on to a big road or a side street. Then we increase that distance year by year. In so doing we remove the tin boxes and those looking for that elusive parking space. We could then get back to natural streets where you can drive/ride/walk safely.
Think about it this way:
Apple makes profit and stores it away as cash (recently it has given some of that cash back as dividends though). Since its cash, its booked as profit.

Amazon makes profit and immediately finances new warehouses/robots/etc. with it instead. Since this is not cash it is booked as zero profit from an accounting perspective.

Some investors like to complain about the lack of profit because turning it into an asset for the company to use makes it harder to give out to them as cash (dividend) but makes it easier for the company to grow. Many of the same investors use a flawed metric (P/E ratio) to saw that Amazon is effectively worthless, even though it dominates a market with huge revenue growth and a large amount of physical and virtual assets.

It depends on the crime.

Historically, someone who murders a stranger (ie, serial killers) is nearly always caught because one victim gets away and tells the police. http://www.wired.com/2011/04/mf_billjames/all/ Otherwise, the cops are generally stuck with their habits of sniffing around friends and acquaintances of the victim (which by definition are doing the non-stranger murders).

This would be solved by public key encrypting and signing both sides of those messages. Nothing stops people from sharing your public key, so you could develop some kind of one off token for everyone instead, that way you can kill those tokens after a time.

Enjoyable, nostalgic thread. Later on one member (age 78) of the core Concorde design team even appears. Here's an amusing anecdote from early in the thread:

========

Whilst on the Concorde conversion course at Bristol, occasionally crews would have the privilege of meeting some of the original design engineers and draughtsmen who had worked on the Concorde project.

...

Suffice to say that the senior fire officer who misread litres-per-minute as gallons-per-minute during an Olympus water ingestion test probably would not want any further publicity, likewise the apprentice who didn’t defrost the chicken before firing it into an engine running at full power in the bird ingestion test. My favourite was the supersonic hailstone story, fired as part of a hailstone ingestion test, but with uncertain results, the final resting place of said hailstone still being slightly obscure to this day. If anyone in the greater Bristol area got hit by a particularly hard snowball in the early sixties, the Filton test engineers are very sorry, and would like to apologise!

However, it is often the little insights into the past that amuse one the most and stick in one’s mind. During one such conversation, with a couple of thermodynamicists, I ventured to ask how they had settled on the (rather difficult to memorise) various temperature limits associated with Concorde.

For instance, why a nose temperature limit of +127°C, why not +130°C, much easier for a pilot to remember?

“Isn’t it obvious?” one replied politely, genuinely puzzled by my question.

“Computer generation,” replied his colleague to him, pointing his pipe stem at me.

“Ah yes,” said the first, “that would be it.”

They then went on to explain, in ever such a kindly manner, that, in thermodynamics, apparently the square, and the square root, of the absolute temperature of a material are terms used in many equations. Being armed mostly only with slide rules (and as they were in the vicinity of 120°C to 130°C as a limit anyway) it had been decided to make life easy and settle on +127°C as the limit, a temperature for which they could easily calculate the square and square root in their heads.

Noticing my bewilderment at the thought that anyone might be able to calculate the square or the square root of 127 in their heads, they proceeded to explain it to me still further, very slowly; in the manner that one would speak to an aged and rather deaf great aunt!

• Absolute zero = -273°C = Zero Kelvin = 0K
• Max Nose temp = +127°C equal to 400K
• √400 = 20
• 400² = 160,000.

These are the people with the amusing stories to tell!

In terms of cost/expense, AWS is very cost effective for this type of work load.

If you build out the skill set and scripts to run this type of job, you can process the images, store them on S3 and kill the running infrastructure. You can then run this process for big and small workloads as the needs arise on demand without having to own servers or space in a data center.
Google, CloudFlare and a handful of the technically sophisticated organizations have the ability to return different certificates depending on the connecting browser. Your argument would be far more persuasive if Google were really biting the bullet and dropping support for SHA1 even when an old browser connects. I assume that's not what you're doing, but please correct me if I'm wrong.

If you are returning two different certificates for two different situations at Google.com, the least you could do is dedicate some of your vast engineering resources to making the plugins to support such a setup production ready. If Google uses it's technical sophistication to avoid the pain while the rest of the web burns then that's, at best, hypocritical.

I'll make you this deal: if you do it for Apache, we'll do it for NGINX. That's the right thing to do. As would be making SSL certs free, but that's a conversation for another day.

However, if the police arrest a suspect, they can still find their transit history by examining any card they have in their possession, regardless of how it was bought. So if you plan on committing a crime (or just don't want to be tracked), you should buy some low-denomination MetroCards with cash at random locations and discard them immediately after passing the turnstile. And you should leave your cell phone at home too, since that also leaves a trail of where you've been. Don't drive to the scene of the crime either, since you might be identified by one of the NYPD's license plate scanners (or a red-light or speeding camera, or an E-ZPass toll scanner). And if you manage to avoid all those pitfalls, you might still get identified by one of the thousands of surveillance cameras around NYC. It's getting very hard to travel anonymously in NYC.

I once read about a city in Europe - maybe it's the one in the article - which ripped out half of the signs along the roads, and found the drivers paid much closer attention and drove more carefully. I heard of another city in England which removed its street lights (and didn't install stop signs / roundabouts) with the same result.

It's fascinating to look at some 3rd world locations, where there are far fewer rules, and many modes of transport sharing the same street.

This YouTube video really drives the point home. Scooters, walkers (some heavy laden), and cars all chaotically (at first glance) going every direction on a piece of asphalt.

As Richard Fernandez says, look closer ... watch a few times ... and a few basic rules pop out.

http://fallbackbelmont.blogspot.com/2006/12/into-heart-of-ch...

As the veteran of many a Third World traffic jam, I think the vehicular flow situation is a little more complex than Economics with a Face suggests. But he may be correct in thinking that under certain circumstances and in particular cultures fewer rules or perhaps the appropriate rules make more sense than the overly regulated forms the First World is used to.

It reminds me of that old Artificial Life program "Boids", which implemented just 3 very basic rules, and from this produced very organic flocking and obstacle-avoidance behaviors.

One important concept that seems to be missing from the discussion is Sender Stores.

Email currently uses a Receiver Stores model. SMTP servers can relay messages, but in almost all cases the message is transmitted directly from the originator's network to the recipient's network. The storage of the message only effectively changes _ownership_ once, even if the message headers say it was forwarded many times.

That makes email a Receiver Stores model: the recipient's network is expected to accept the message at any time and then hold it until the recipient comes to look at it.

Some of the bitcoin messaging protocols propose a Sender Stores model. That is, the message may be transmitted any number of times but the recipient's network is not responsible for long-term storage. The sender's network must be able to provide the message at any time up to the point when the recipient actually looks at the message.

There are some obvious restrictions such as requiring that the message be encrypted with a Diffie-Helman key (negotiated when the message is first transmitted to the receiver's network) to reduce the feasibility of de-duplicating millions of messages. And in order to prevent revealing exactly when the recipient reads the message, the recipient's network doesn't ack the message for a while.

Ultimately all of this is just designed to make bulk email (slightly) more expensive. Spammers run on very, very thin margins. But it doesn't do anything to solve the problem of account termination or blacklisting.
The Constitution granted the Federal Government limited powers. But included in those powers is the power to self-define and self-regulate.

Thus, should the legislature pass a law, and should the Supreme Court uphold that law, it is deemed Constitutional by the body specifically-empowered to make that determination.

The Money Laundering Control Act made the laundering of money a crime. It was passed by the Legislative branch of the Federal Government as prescribed by the Constitution.

The MLCA has been upheld by the Supreme Court, or rather, cases have been brought before in which the government's prosecution has rested on enforcement of the law, and the Justices have upheld it by interpreting the law, as written, without deeming it unconstitutional (Santos, Schueller, etc.)

Thus, the law is Constitutional pending some future case.

Thus everything you just said is nonsense words.

The eruption of Mount Tavurvur – 8/29/14
Have you ever bothered to look at the code for the NativeActivity?

NativeActivity is a Java Activity that calls into C code via JNI. This C code then makes use of UNIX IPC to send the said events back and forth to the C/C++ code that runs in a separate thread.

Every time Android OS calls into the Activity there is JNI involved.

This only gets worse, if the developer plans to do a portable application, and not just a plain game.

Just because you don't write the JNI code yourself, it doesn't mean it isn't there.
