"Roberts was upset that one of his employees—records show these employees were paid between $1,000 and $2,000 a week—had stolen from Roberts and eventually managed to get himself arrested by dealing with an undercover agent. Roberts wanted the employee tortured so that he would return the missing Bitcoins. Not knowing much about hitmen, Roberts ended up talking to the very undercover agent who had helped bust his employee.

On January 26, 2013, Roberts asked that the former employee get "beat up, then forced to send the bitcoins he stole back." A day later, afraid that his former employee would squeal to the police, Roberts asked if it was possible to "change the order to execute rather than torture?" Roberts said he had "never killed a man or had one killed before, but it is the right move in this case." The agent offered to do the job for $80,000."

A few things that irk me:

1) No info of what was done to solve the solution, or do i need to login to view? (e.g. https://algorithmia.com/algorithms/zskurultay/ImageSimilarit... - is this just a simple correlation or something more)

2) Buying your homework solutions, for example, https://algorithmia.com/bounties/35 - they want a CRF implemented with Stochastic Gradient Descent for $150, i'm sure someone more familiar with one of the matlab libraries (such as UGM) could put something together, but you get the point

3) I'm not sure how this appeals to academics... There's movement for reproducible research through open sourcing code/simulations and charging for that privilege just seems wrong (even if they have the option to open source)

4) Signing up to enable the console is a bit of a pain. I'm not going to sign up unless i see some value in the service, and since many pages are just empty or bland descriptions (input x -> output y) it's hard to really get a feel if the solution is what i'm looking for

The conspiracy to murder a federal witness indictment is still floating around Maryland. They used it to deny him bail but now that it's proven he is DPR they could if they wanted drive nails into his coffin and pursue that indictment.

In that phony hit, the FBI was on the other end and can testify they received payment and instructions from Ulbricht to kill a witness so it isn't just a textfile diary as the only evidence like in the other murder charges (which were quietly dropped after he was denied bail).

I'm sorry you lost me after your outrageous claim that one must learn everything about the standard types of Go before one can program effectively.

You should know about how your types are passed around if you are using any language.

The example given was arrays in Go. Arrays are passed by value, but slices (pointers to arrays) are passed by reference. This is very simply described in the Effective Go reading. It's not a hard concept. I don't like you writing off Go with that example. It sounds like you made an emotional decision against the language and are grasping for logical reasons to support your already made decision.

How many people programming with Go pass arrays around? It's an easy lesson to learn.
> It is hard to objectively determine what is the better hosting, but based on people's individual preferences, they can subjectively decide for themselves, which the wikipedia article helps out by clearly explaining the differences.

It's quite easy to tell actually. Responsiveness of the UI, featureset, availability, size of the community.

* Gitlab is measurably slower (it takes about 5 seconds to load the commit page of a project, compared to <1 for github)
* Gitlab's lacking many features that github has (many filetypes cannot be previewed, lack of integrations, general inferior issue tracker, no search and much more)
* Availability: github rarely goes down. Right now it tracks at 100% availability over the last month.
* Size of community: there is really no discussion here.

Note: I'm not talking about commercial hosting, but about a place for Open Source projects. There is currently absolutely no objective reason to put a project on gitlab.

When I hear someone say "We don't need calculus!"

I think:

Okay, then go back to pre-calculus times and somehow still invent the modern world without it and then get back to me on how irrelevant it is.

Also, you don't get to wear this shirt: http://www.topatoco.com/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=...

My feeling is that it would take a few hundred years extra (or maybe more!) to get to the point where you had a computer without calculus. Might even take a thousand. You'd only be able to do discrete stuff, so while Babbage's difference engine might be up for grabs (and mechanical calculators definitely would be) things like the Norden bomb sight or naval firing computers wouldn't be, since they're continuous not discrete systems.

You might not EVER get to computers because things like Nyquist's theorem and stuff like that doesn't even exist in a discrete-only world. Things just sometimes work and sometimes don't and it's sorta related to the frequency, but how is unclear. Aliasing is just something that randomly bites you in the ass and there's no way to develop a rigorous understanding of it and to engineer yourself out of the morass.

I would not volunteer for that mission. I like the modern world.

Dustin Krustinger told reporters that his daughter was selling lemonade at 25 cents a cup during the Register’s Annual Great Bicycle Race Across Iowa (or RAGBRAI), and couldn’t have made more than five dollars, adding “If the line is drawn to the point where a four-year-old eight blocks away can’t sell a couple glasses of lemonade for 25 cents, than I think the line has been drawn at the wrong spot.”
Confidence leads to increased success, so your self doubt might be keeping you from even greater job opportunities (meaning more money and probably more fun).

But HN and other online communities aren't good places to gain confidence. It's something you should do with an experienced counselor or therapist. There's no shame in going to a professional to help you internalize your success. In fact, it's smart and humble.
Not necessarily, but when you have a guy who's hiring fake hitmen to punish sellers trying to rip off buyers it's hard to argue that he never would have considered a hitman if not for law enforcement intervention.

I don't see how this is relevant at all? First of all github did not remove that content, it IP blocked it. Secondly what do you think that gitlab would do if they would be hit by this?

Do you think it's better for github to go down for Russia entirely? Imagine that would be your proposal for what gitlab should do. Then it would even stronger enforce that gitlab is not a place to go for an Open Source project.

Why should your project suffer and become unavailable because some other project violated Russian law?
The first post (who you were assuming stuff about) said nothing about any minorities.

Assuming that (s)he is "privileged" is just yet another prejudice, not a fact upon which to base your opinion.

"Here" is the Netherlands. For example installing a camera to monitor employee's screens or their movements the whole day is illegal because that invades their privacy. They are your employees, not your slaves. If you are unhappy with the amount of work they perform in a given amount of time or for a certain amount of money, tell them so.

On the other hand, if things are being stolen or suspected of being stolen from the supply room, hanging up a camera at the entrance is surely a reasonable measure. A judge would have no issues with that security measure. It's all about reasonableness.
> If the revenue generated from an act isn't enough to even qualify a passing mention on your tax return, I don't see how it could be considered commercial.

Is there such an amount? As far as I know all income is taxable, there is no "minimum amount per source."

If you're talking more "real world" (e.g. pick up a quarter so fail to declare) then why would the FAA care at all about that? You cannot cite some fictional minimum income per source and then expect the FAA to adhere to it.
I think it's safe to say now that there are no remaining government institutions that have not jumped the proverbial shark.

It's possible to get a re-trial on the grounds of incompetent defence, but the bar is really high. And since Ulbricht is still using the same lawyer for his appeals, it doesn't look like he's trying that route.

His defense did seem pretty poor, but given the amount of evidence against him, its not really clear what a "good defense" would've looked like.
For myself - while in college for statistics, I focused much more on my side jobs (in business and marketing) than college. I stopped going about a year and a half ago with a semester left, simply because the job opportunities got so good (opportunity/sanity cost of going to school was outweighed by fulfillment/high salary/career track of working more).

Eventually, I suppose I'll take night classes and finish college. But its quite low on my priority list. My work experience during college was by far more valuable to my career than the actual college education (which I thought was great, too).

Take a broad enough view and very little is non-commercial.

I think one of the underappreciated point of github is its excellent business model. The freemium model of providing everything for free if your code is public and charging only for private repositories allowed them to grow exponentially with rising popularity among open source projects.

Sourceforge and Google code tried to cater only for open source projects, while never thinking that code hosting is the problem that needs to be solved.
Github hasn't centralized all open source code Because git itself is decentralized. If only other social networks let you extract your data so easily.

A few things.

1. Don't give up. I hate to say it, but they guy was in the middle of negotiations, and could have probably worked out something significantly better than the 6-month deal he was offered (which really could have been far worse, in practical terms, though it never should have come to that, of course). He obviously had severe mental health problems, and killing himself was disproportionate to what he was facing.

2. I've had two friends do time for Federal, non-violent crimes, and it wasn't horrible for either of them. It mostly just kind of sucked. Not even close to a worst-case scenario. Family embarrassment and having a felony on their record was the worst of it for each of them. Aaron could have turned all that to his favor.

3. It's an unpopular thing to say around here, but before becoming an activist for a cause, it'd be worth talking to a lawyer. No doubt the prosecutor was overzealous (what else is new?) but Swartz's operation was both ham-fisted and a bit unhinged. He obviously was trying to get away with something, he just got caught. He really should have thought that through before doing it, during, and after.

4. And if you're actually guilty of something–however absurd that law is, it's law–fight like mad (which includes appeals) and then take the best plea bargain your attorney can get you, and make the most of it. A six-month term would have been the best thing that could have happened to his cause–afterwards he would have had immense credibility as an activist with both character and credibility.

This should all enter into your cost/benefit thinking. It's just good planning.

Unfortunately, it became a "mere" tragedy that I fear will wind up doing far less to solve the problems he wanted to than if he'd stuck it out.

You're not paranoid, but there are also lots of advantages to centralization, as the article touching on this in Wired says "Having one central location allows people to collaborate more easily" (I'd love to know if anyone has attempted to quantify this).

What to do about it?

* Use other would-be global centralized repo to create competition, eg Gitlab.com (or if you demand 100% FLOSS, maybe notabug.org though it is a very long shot for achieving such centrality)

* Discount centralization benefits and self host, eg using gitlab, gogs (which notabug runs), kallithea, or various other FLOSS code hosting applications

* Work making migration between hosts easier (eg issue and other configuration import/export)

* Work on harder problems of federation among code hosts; distributed bug trackers have been reinvented many times but never taken off, but maybe just the right approach hasn't taken off yet, or maybe there is something in federated social web approaches

* Do one or more of the above and treat Github as marketing and backup for your main platform (or vice versa), analogous to what the indieweb people recommend for dominant social networks http://indiewebcamp.com/POSSE
