I just ploughed through the thread on the bitcointalk forum. (disclaimer: a lot of the following summary is based on hearsay and lacks evidence)

Some kid hacked the satoshin@gmx.net mailbox, by guessing the birthdate forgot-password check on gmx.net (yes, it sounds kind of unbelievable to me as well).

He probably used this email to gain access to the SourceForge account, and wrote some juvenile texts about "buttcoin" (everything seems to have been reverted now, see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8293062 ).

He also used the mailbox to gain access to Satoshi's account on p2pfoundation.ning.com, which is the same place where the "Dorian is not Satoshi" message was posted a while back when some news media thought they found SN. Then he used this account to try and pull off a "give me 25BTC or I'll release SN's dox" scam. Nobody in the bitcointalk thread seems to believe the kid actually has SN's dox, because Satoshi was clever enough not to leave personal info in that mailbox.

The kid also used the email to try and threaten the bitcointalk forum admin ("send me some coins before I hitman you" ...). The forum admin seems fine to just let it be, because no real damage has been done, it was just a kid and by now the kid and his family have been doxed, who's probably scared shitless right now realizing what sort of serious business he's been messing with.

Adrian Chen tried to mail satoshin@gmx.net with some questions, and in response got a screenshot of the mailbox, "proving" it was indeed under someone else's control: https://twitter.com/AdrianChen/status/509162847130370048/pho... . There's a second screenshot of some invoice of someone ordering a bitcoin-mining device, with the address info photoshopped out--which was done badly because someone on Reddit quickly revealed part of the name and address. But that order seems partially fake, just some guy that thought it was funny to enter Satoshi's email when ordering the device.

It's assumed the kid no longer has access to the satoshin@gmx.net mailbox. Again I didn't see these claims substantiated either.

All in all, someone smarter could have done a LOT more damage with this hack. But whoever did this really screwed it up. There might be some unintended clues about Satoshi's identity in that mailbox, but it seems like whoever got access isn't clever enough to string all that together (tying it with the research done into his identity so far). So unless the whole mailbox gets dumped somewhere, that's it, case closed?

Reminds me of this old picture of the racial makeup around 8-mile in Detroit:

http://images.sciencedaily.com/2014/09/140909162349-large.jp...

Green = African American, Orange = Caucasian

FWIW, having moved from the St. Louis area and traveling through Ferguson MO on a daily basis, it's obvious to me the racial makeup is a symptom/result of economics. Race + economics is a hard ship to steer, for sure.
Anyone here, who can say whether this service is trustworthy and not collecting additional Email addresses?
Postscript: You might well ask why not just use "=" only, and assume that all definitions are potentially self-referencing?

That's a non-starter because I find that redefinition is the more common intent:

\x=4
\x=(* x 5)
\x=(+ y x)

In those cases I don't want x defined in terms of itself, but rather in terms of the previous definition of x.

That is why I would insist on a special token such as "==" to express the intention of self-reference.
Penicillamine is another example of a pharmaceutical scam; in 1995, the cost to treat rheumatoid arthritis using it as a second-line therapy was $550/year. Even a few years ago the pricing was in the thousands, not tens of thousands. When Valeant purchased Aton, it appears that the first thing it did was jack up the price of orphan drugs. But, hey, if you've got Wilson's Disease, you have no choice but to pay whatever they demand....

Thanks! At the moment it randomly selects a user with one or more songs queued up, and then picks their top song. I think that I will refine this though as sometimes someone gets picked 6 times in a row and everyone complains. Especially if that someone is me, it looks suspicious...

Okay, so the price of the Thiola is ridiculous and unjustified. Who's agreeing to pay it??? I don't know how this works, do insurance companies simply roll over any time a company raises the price of some obscure drug by ten fold? Why haven't the insurers (I'm guessing no one pays for Thiola out of pocket) balked at this?

How I’ve Become a Better Founder by Practicing Patience
Yeah I agree - I think people are overusing / abusing the downvoting thing too much. Although I believe pg himself said that you could use a downvote just if you disagree, the implementation of gradually fading out the text means that one lone dissenting voice can be shown as not being important.

Which leaves me in the obscure situation of upvoting comments I disagree with just because I think they shouldn't have been downvoted.
They should really accept a hash of your email/username to lookup. Then we can an idea of if we've been pwned without giving additional information if we haven't been.

Interesting case of suggestion bias... when faced with such a website name, you are reluctant to give out your email which you would do when signing up to some other site. Except...

1) This site asks for the email address that you CARE about

2) It specifically has people self select for caring about being pwned

Therefore it IS more dangerous.
At present, you need to either encrypt the block devices beneath ZFS via LUKS or the filesystem on top of ZFS via ecryptfs. There are some guides on how to do this for each distribution.

There is an open issue for integrating encryption into ZoL itself:

https://github.com/zfsonlinux/zfs/issues/494

This will likely be added to ZoL in the future, but no one is actively working on it at this time.
Since you show the upcoming songs in the playlist, you could consider using that information in the queueing: explicitly order the upcoming songs to rotate between people, one song per person, with everyone getting one song before anyone gets a second.
I didn't look at this in detail, but this appears to also be using refresh tokens. Getting clarity on refresh tokens is a bit tough, but they are intended to allow one to request a new access token when the access token expires. I don't think refresh tokens are intended to be stored client-side as they are with this. If a refresh token is compromised, it can be used to request an access token for the user.

The pricing power of a drug is related to a number of factors: (1) competition, (2) size of patient population, (3) severity of disease.

Payers (insurers) balk at the price of drugs all the time. When there are competitors, they have the ability to say "no, you can't have drug A, but you can have drug B". Also, when a drug treats a disease that isn't that severe (erectile dysfunction), they can also say "no, you can't have that drug".

When it comes to a disease like the one Thiola treats (only a few therapies, serious disease, small patient population), payers don't have much choice but to pay whatever the company charge. They can't deny patients a critical therapy.

I'll bet that insurance companies will complain about the price increase, but in the end just pay it. Sure it's ridiculous, but the overall impact to payers is limited since the disease is so rare. They have bigger fish to fry.

Boo... "Other Race / Native American / Multi-racial"

Turns out composition is better than inheritance for so many things.
I've used ZoL since it was created, and zfs-fuse before that. I ran it on my workstation for a few years (managing a 4x750gb RAID-Z (= ZFS's RAID-5 impl), with ext3 on mdadm RAID 1 2x400gb root), and then swapped to BTRFS for 2x2TB BTRFS native RAID 1 (which was Oracle's ZFS competitor that seems to be largely abandoned although I see commits in the kernel changelog periodically), and now back to ZFS on a dedicated file server using 2x128GB Crucial M550 SSD + 2x2TB, setup as mdadm RAID 1 + XFS for the first 16GB of the SSDs for root[2], 256MB on each for ZIL[1], and the rest as L2ARC[3], and the 2x2TB as ZFS mirror. I honestly see no reason to use any other FS for a storage pool, and if I could reliably use ZFS as root on Debian, I wouldn't even need that XFS root in there.

All of this said, I get RAID 0'ed SSD-like performance with very high data reliability and without having to shell out the money for 2TB of SSD. And before someone says "what about bcache/flashcache/etc", ZFS had SSD caching before those existed, and ZFS imo does it better due to all the strict data reliability features.

[1]: ZFS treats multiple ZIL devs as round robin (RAID 0 speed without increased device failure taking down all your RAID 0'ed devices). You need to write multiple files concurrently to get the full RAID 0-like performance out of that because it blocks on writing consecutive inodes, allowing no more than one in flight per file at a time. ZIL is only used for O_SYNC writes, and it is concurrently writing to both ZIL and the storage pool, ie, ZIL is not a write-through cache but a true journal.

The failure of a ZIL device is only "fatal" if the machine also dies before ZFS can write to the storage pool, and the mode of the failure cannot leave the filesystem in an inconsistent state. ZFS does not currently support RAID for ZIL devices internally, nor is it recommended to hijack this and use mdadm to force it. It only exists to make O_SYNC work at SSD speeds.

[2]: /tank and /home are on ZFS, the rest of the OS takes up about 2GB of that 16GB. I oversized it a tad, I think. If I ever rebuild the system, I'm going for 4GB.

[3]: L2ARC is a second level storage for ZFS's in memory cache, called ARC. ARC is a highly advanced caching system that is designed to increase performance by caching often used data obsessively instead of being just a blind inode cache like the OS's usual cache is, and is independent of the OS's disk cache. L2ARC is sort of like a write through cache, but is more advanced by making a persistent version of ARC that survive reboots and is much larger than system memory. L2ARC is implicitly round robin (like how I described ZIL above), and survives the loss of any L2ARC dev with zero issues (it just disables the device, no unwritten data is stored here). L2ARC does not suffer from the non-concurrent writing issue that ZIL "suffers" (by design) from.
Some dark hat guy could use the emails collected on site like this for targeted phishing attacks. Now that I have entered my email there, this reveals that I'm aware of these certain security incidents (the site reported that my email and some personal information had been compromised).

Now if somebody would approach me on this topic, they might have a chance of fooling me to give some further details about myself.

The benefit from this kind of targeting would be to avoid hitting the spam filters. If they just spammed their message to random addresses, people would flag them as junk mail and good email providers would quickly filter them out.

I'm not sure how that would help. They would have to generate a matching hash on their end, giving them a lookup table to work backwards from hash to email address.

Now if they wanted to supply a list of hashes to the public, then you could check your own without knowing any of the other addresses used to generate the remaining hashes.
What does more data get you beyond accuracy? I think it opens up certain model classes -- like online regression -- which have proveably low error rates with lots of data, but my argument is that you don't need "the entire web," as another commenter suggests, to be good enough at, say, speech recognition. I could definitely be mistaken though...

I agree that quantitative research must be a core competency -- I'm a ML engineer at a company that's heavily invested in its research team -- and it is most certainly not one of Apple's focii. What's stopping Apple from building that competency by acquihiring the talent, though? This is no different from what Google has done over the years...

That basic design is common in southern Florida and the Caribbean. The Florida-style house has a central breezeway, which is basically an unobstructed path from the front wall to the back wall. The front wall has a large bank of awning windows, while the back wall typically has a multi-panel sliding glass door. When both are open, it creates a draft through the house that not only cools the breezeway but also the other rooms.

It's really time to dump those code views son. Interface Builder gives you all the tools you need to do it and works reliable, gives a LOT of feedback on your constraints when you build them.

You should learn auto layouts using Interface Builders, otherwise it's a nightmare because you're not getting the feedback you need to learn it right in the first place.

You need to start using priorities right, specially when you are doing >=, <= constraints you also need to add a low prio == constraint. It's not that hard, but you will be really frustrated if you keep clinging on to your coded views.

Try to chop up your Storyboards if you work in teams. They shouldn't be so big that you have trouble following the flow on one monitor.

As a European I'm surprised by the very stark black-white separation in US culture. Why do the two (almost) not mix, even after centuries?

During my student year in the US, I was friends with students of all colors - culturally they were really the same. So what is it? Peer pressure?

Most young black women I see (over here) are incredibly beautiful, but then in my country they're mostly fresh immigrants - the cultural difference would be much stronger than a couple of White and Black Americans.

From watching TV my impressions are that there's especially a taboo for white guys to date black women, and the prejudice that "vanilla" just isn't cool. Can anyone enlighten me?

Creating indexes at the stage of creating a DB structure makes no sense. Not because it's a premature optimization, but because indexes make the queries execute faster. When a software architect creates a schema he doesn't know what the queries will look like.

In my opinion, a critical part of creating a schema is designing it to work well with the expected access patterns. If a software architect is just dictating a rough schema without thinking about the queries that will be issued and the expected nature of the data in the database, the architecture simply isn't complete. I'm all for iterative design and whatnot, but that means that the architect needs to stick around and help out throughout the system's lifecycle.

Sounds like the original author is working with some pretty checked-out architects.

Only one data point, but my daughter (who's 8) does.

If she's tired, it could be the iPad, Lego, a TV show, a book or anything else - when we tell her it's time to stop using it, she'll have a strop for a few minutes before calming down.

When she's not tired, she'll just as happily put down the iPad as anything else.

The only big difference I see between iPad/computer use and most other toys is that it's easier to be sucked in to spending hours on it if no one intervenes - but I believe that's mostly down to the simple fact that they can do more than one thing.

She'll happily spend half an hour or more playing with her dolls, or reading a book or whatever. But she'd rarely go several hours on any one of them. Eventually she'll get bored and go and do something else. With iPads/computers, when she gets bored with one game she can just switch to another game.
This is an example of an arbitrage opportunity. It's a necessary evil of capitalism, and unfortunately, our government has decided that free market capitalism is an appropriate system to use for health care.

Arbitrage can be explained as thus: you have an opportunity to buy $1 for $0.75. How many dollars do you buy? The correct answer is "all of them". In this case, a drug had a sale price of $3 and a market value of $150 per pill (established by its competitor), so an investor basically purchased "all of them" and resold them at a higher price.

If your goal is maximum economic efficiency, arbitrage is necessary. It allows companies to make decisions with the goal of maximizing profit (i.e. maximum economic efficiency) in moral hazard situations: if something is legal but morally dubious, if they don't do it, someone else will force them to. This is necessary because every individual has a slightly different idea of what is "right" and what is "wrong". Businesses don't have morals because they're not people. They are amoral, and arbitrage is the means by which that amorality is maintained. If a person wishes to exercise their moral calculus, they are free to do so when making investment decisions.

I don't believe that to be the case with healthcare. In my opinion, healthcare is a sector that really shouldn't operate along capitalist principles because the goal of a national healthcare system should not be to maximize economic efficiency: it should be to maximize the health and well-being of its citizens. I know that's hard to quantify, but it's certainly not quantified by the dollars spent on health care. IMO government price controls on healthcare are the only solution to the problem. I don't know how that gets implemented, but I do know that the pendulum needs to swing towards socialized medicine if we expect things to get better.
I start laughing when I saw the last sentence, in all my designs I tried to avoid Broadcom as much as possible. Same as Marvell, you don't get anything other than a two-page brief before you sign a NDA, and if you're not a volume player, you normally don't get a chance to even sign the NDA.
