Would the project be sustainable, or more fair, if it allowed project maintainers to whitelist currencies, and manage that integration for them? That seems more appropriate and follows the the spirit of giving that the project encourages.
Giving money to open source developers. How parasitical.
> This has legal and tax consequences they seem to be blissfully unaware of

To make matters worse, they have no idea about or no will to learn about foreign laws.

If they listed any of my projects on their website, I, personally would be considered to be participating in illegal activities in my home country. Regardless of whether I would have ever received any money, asking for donations requires a permit ahead of time here. The police could come knocking on my door demanding for an explanation (they'd probably send a letter, though).

It would be extremely unlikely that I would ever get convicted, but I'd have to spend a lot of effort proving my innocence in something I played no part in.

Besides, looking at this project and the number of similar projects (all using cryptocurrencies), it seems like there are no noble intentions behind this. A lot of the funds donated might never get claimed, which means that the intermediate party could usurp the money because no transparency is involved.
My wild guess is that, the version of the ubuntu for that droplet is not supported now. Yes from a learning perspective this is fine. But you cannot recover the droplet from malware is not a pleasant news.
I feel like we shouldn't miss the point here: you can't impersonate me and take donations in my name without my consent, no matter the currency (or regulations or whatever) being used. Make it opt-in, not "opted in by default and no way to opt out".
In the same way that a company can be 'punished' for not defending a brand name: silence, in the face of knowledge of actions, is taken as tacit acceptance of those actions.
That's frankly a horrible idea. What you should do is simply have them generate a CSR using the key - CSRs are signed by the key.

I've always had trouble with this visualization too.

A better way of thinking about it might be to think of space as a 3d grid of springs. Matter pulls in the nearest springs, but this cause other springs in the grid to stretch out, creating tension.

Think of a relaxed spring stretched between two points. If you pull in just one part of the spring, the other side goes under tension.

/\/\/\/\/\ (a relaxed spring)
|||/-\_/-\ (a spring with the left parts of the coil pulled in, the right side is stretched out and thus under tension)

If you have two objects with mass in this "space" the "springs" between them act kind of like springs under tension. A simple model would be two weights on a table connected by a spring. If you pull them away from each other, the tension causes them to want to move towards each other. In the 3d grid of springs the same is true.

x - a mass

/-\_/-\_/|||x|||/-\_/-\_/ - a mass in space, notice space is pulled in around the mass, putting the rest of space in tension

x|||/-\_/-\_/|||x - two masses in space, notice space is pulled in around both masses, putting the space in between in tension

Nature wants to move towards an equilibrium, but it can't relax the springs around the mass, so to make this happen, the masses are pulled towards each other to remove the energy in the intervening space.

x|||/-\_/\_/|||x - starting to pull

x|||/-\/\_/|||x - more

x|||/-\/\|||x - more

x|||/\/|||x - more

and so on

except there's no physical spring in between, so while in the analogy, you'd finish with x||||||x, in the real world, the masses can keep moving towards each other and you end up with

x||||||x

x|||x - more

xx - the final resting state

We call this spring energy "potential energy" in physics, but it's caused by mass's necessary warping of space-time.

I think this is easier and more intuitive to visualize in true 3d. The warped 2d fabric is very hard to visualize in 3d and the way it functions (an outside force of gravity pulls objects down the slope towards the notional masses) isn't quite accurate.

Consider this: you are in a high-tax country and have some incoming lucrative income. Instead of receiving that income and paying the tax, the company sends you an email saying: Here's a $100,000, come get if you want, but you don't have to! It's a tip! It'll get donated to MSF in a few years. Wink, wink. You put in your income for the year as $0 (not having accepted this tip), and leave for the Seyschelles, where suddenly you come upon this email (you didn't check your Spam folder until then) and claim your now tax-free $100,000.
Your solution is not a solution, as you're not able to change human nature.

When I said "returned to the project's balance" - I meant "returned to the funded project's balance" so that other contributors to that project could receive them.

Sorry if sounds ambiguous, English is not my native language.

E. g. if you donate to reward contributors of https://tip4commit.com/github/bitcoin/bitcoin and some contributor doesn't specify bitcoin address to claim tips within 30 days then his or her tips will be returned back to bitcoin/bitcoin's balance (see this logic at https://github.com/tip4commit/tip4commit/blob/master/app/mod...)

Or, you know, you take the pragmatic approach of allowing limited removal from search indexes so that recall is a bit harder.

The court very specifically did not order removal from primary sources.
Those projects are in the public domain. If there are purposes that you don't want your project to be used for then forbid it in the license. When you put your contact information in the public domain and then complain about being notified when somebody has given you money, I feel like you're complaining just for the sake of complaining. Set up filter rules or don't put your contact information on the internet.

If I was denied the chance to receive a donation for a contribution I made to an open source project essentially because the "project owner" doesn't agree then I'd be very annoyed.
Not all open source developers want money for their open source software. You think collecting money using someone else's hard work isn't a bad thing. A hard work that the person explicitly went to the trouble of making free and abstained from any income derived solely from it.
And yet, here we are. I'm totally okay with causing mass extinction as long as something human-descended comes out the other side.

It seems this is the last version to have Nginx in the base install. 5.7 Will only ship their in-house httpd(8) as the default web server, although Nginx will still be available in ports. Reyk explained the reasoning : http://undeadly.org/cgi?action=article&sid=20140827065755&pi...

And the httpd(8) manual shows there are some similarities in the configuration to Nginx. http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi/OpenBSD-current/man8/... It seems to be a much more simplified and streamlined setup.

Zoomer (YC S14) – SAN FRANCISCO OR REMOTE

Zoomer is building a new take on food delivery - a platform to handle an extraordinarily high volume of concurrent deliveries from restaurants that already deliver (i.e. pizza, wings, sandwiches, etc.). We’re bringing much needed change to local high-volume delivery restaurants that are still doing delivery the way they’ve always done it. Our restaurants and their customers love the service, and our order volume is surging. You’ll make a real impact working to build and scale Zoomer as we continue to grow to new restaurants and territories.

We have amazing investors behind us, including Y Combinator (S14), First Round Capital, SV Angel, CrunchFund, Eric Ries, Gabriel Weinberg, the founder of DuckDuckGo and others. This is your opportunity to get in on the ground-floor - we’re making key hires to build our core team. You’ll have a ton of impact – lots of freedom to evolve our platform, stack, and apps. We follow strong dev practices, put an emphasis on testing, and deploy rapidly.

Help us build cutting-edge technical solutions to:

- tough logistics problems, quickly routing orders to optimal drivers in near-real-time.
- on-demand prediction and forecasting models
- scalable compute and data infrastructure
- multiple mobile apps - for restaurants and drivers - on both iOS and Android
- range of complex real-time frontend interfaces

Our stack: We have an AI backend service that handles order routing, multiple mobile applications – for our drivers and restaurants, and several Ruby on Rails applications for customer-facing/internal services. We’re using Angular.js and CoffeeScript on the frontend.

The roles we’re hiring for:

- Ruby on Rails engineers
- UI/UX Designer
- Artificial Intelligence engineer
- Frontend engineer (Angular.js)
- Mobile (iOS and Android) engineers

Regarding H1B - are you sponsoring new ones, which probably means waiting for some months/year before first working day? (Not sure how is it going now with quotas...)

Also, how does the public data about H1B salaries at Exa correspond to present reality? (those numbers are quite low I mean, especially for someone to consider a relocation).
Is this much better than airplay?

For example UNIX effectively provides a certain kind of memory safety to C programs, by isolating them via VM hardware from other C programs and their memory management bugs, which is quite important in practice... calling that a language "runtime" seems appropriate, especially since there are OS architectures that don't even require VM hardware for isolation (Singularity).
> How can there be taxation consequences unless ...

Tax? Perhaps not, but the OP was talking about tax and other legal consequences. These can vary wildly from country to country.

My local legislation requires applying for a permit before asking for donations. If a 3rd party would add my projects to this website, I could face criminal charges and the proof of burden would be on me.

She's not defying the laws of physics. It's a tracked directional system that concentrates the ultrasound at the point of the device. Honestly, not even really that out there as far as the physics is concerned.

EDIT: Unlikely. Children hear better in upper ranges, not lower. And animals are unlikely to be too perturbed. These types of noises are generated naturally all the time.

The challenge here is the engineering. How precisely can you build the tracking? How much leakage is there? Are there problems with harmonics? How do you build an app that can relatively reliably 3d position a device relative to a base station. And finally, how do you get that base station to be able to simultaneously or rapidly re-aim itself to target each of the devices. That's hard, but certainly exciting and very possible.
The decision does not require revisionist history - you are free to include whatever details you want in articles or books. The decision is limited to allowing an individual to have material that is not of sufficient public interest to be delinked from Google to reduce it's exposure.

Presumably if you're of sufficient public interest to be the subject of works of history, you'd not even get it delinked.
I'm quite sure it can have consequences (just don't think it will). Some countries have declared bitcoin to be illegal (see for example https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legality_of_Bitcoin_by_country for details), so it may be enough to participate in a scheme where receiving them is typical to put someone in jeopardy.

As to punishing somebody for actions of others, that is perhaps not typical (although I think some countries actually do punish women for the actions of men, finding examples left as an excercise for the reader). However, you can cause considerable trouble for sending items (say, by international mail) which are legal in your jurisdiction to someone in whose jurisdiction they are not allowed. I'm living in a relatively modern western society, but would still prefer you did not send me cash, drugs or weapons to me with or without my knowledge.
Can you trademark open source project names?
Yes most people don't realize their lives are lived completely in their head, constantly parsing a verbal stream and acting on it.

People believe the brain is the center, but it's really only a peripheral, more of a GPU than a CPU. When shut off, we operate just fine. It's easily to walk, observe, eat, cook, etc. without thinking at all and that's a good thing.

Many people get scared to be compared to vague concepts like "the vast, non-thinking masses," however, non-thinking is a mode to be switched in and out of with "thinking."

Thinking is an activity, like digging. We do it as necessary, but just like we shouldn't dig all day long, we shouldn't think all day long.

Many psychedelics as well as other consciousness-shifting experiences, like facing extreme fears, traveling, staying up all night, etc. will help put these concepts together, but few will do it on their own.

We could all benefit from more and gentle shifts in our consciousness.
Last I checked, this was not the case- And a major cause for concern.
Semi-related: is anyone here using OpenBSD in their daily DevOps setup? If so, why did you choose it (say, over Linux or FreeBSD)?

Somehow this vulnerability went over the radar.

What is interesting is that based on our own data, we started noticing attacks around 8 hours after it was disclosed and we shared some of the payloads being used here:

http://blog.sucuri.net/2014/10/drupal-sql-injection-attempts...
> If you ask me, it's more likely that this is the whole goal of "the project."

No, it is not. We just came with this idea for rails rumble competition, it was pretty spontaneous.

Sorry if "to the project" sounds ambiguous, I meant "to the funded project" (not to tip4commit unless we are talking about tips to https://tip4commit.com/github/tip4commit/tip4commit contributors).
I was wondering about Flattr as well. You can connect your account to Github, and the owners of repos that you star will be "flattred". I've done this a few times, some that haven't been claimed yet too - I admit it never crossed my mind that it could be nothing but an inconvenience to the recipient.
We have a few samples of the SQL injection attempts here:

http://blog.sucuri.net/2014/10/drupal-sql-injection-attempts...

In there you can see the type of backdoors being added (generally fake users with admin-level privileges).
The reason I felt the need to explain the legal situation is that some people seem to think there's an objective right/wrong here and that's just not true.

Furthermore, I believe the reaction to this issue is way over the top. The tip4commit people seem very well intentioned in that they created a website for people to donate to open source projects. They might be stubborn and adding the disclaimer might have taken a couple of days to long, but I don't see how any of this justifies so much hate.
