> One of these Responsive methodologies is Holacracy, defined as “a comprehensive practice for structuring, governing and running an organization. It replaces today's top-down, predict-and-control paradigm with a new way of achieving control by distributing power.”

That's not a definition.
Useful but not on his list:

* Bitcoin is excellent as a charity funding mechanism. Often I may wish to give to a charity, but don't want to give out my credit card number. I give up my tax credit, but for small handouts that's quite alright.

* Micropayments. There is simply no other infrastructure that does this as well as Bitcoin does, because processing fees dominate.
Multiple outputs are tricky, what you going to do if you run a step and it somehow produces 2 out of 3 expected outputs? I mean, you need a way to decide whether whole thing failed or not, easiest way is indeed to have dummy targets.

Anyway, take a look at https://github.com/spotify/luigi, it is basically make-like tool geared toward data pipelines. We are experimenting with it for our data pipeline (which is quite sizeable, ~30TB/day gzipped, thousands of files, a bunch of processing steps) and while it lacks some things, especially in the UI, this approach seems to work quite well.
Which in turn can readily be explained by the lack of a strong government.

But it's not just interest, it's ability to complete the course. Sure I might be interested in Mathematics, but terrible at it. What's the point of admitting me to an Honours Maths cousre? Also, there are usually strict legal limits on the hours you can work if you're under 16, which is when you'd be studying for the exams required for University admission, so I don't think it'd be much of an issue. Note that I'm thinking of the UK, where University admission is usually at 17 or 18.
IMHO breakout is descended from pong itself; different goal but same play mechanics. While pong was two-player, this game seems to evoke more the two-player mode of tetris, since defeat isn't sudden but gradually builds up over time. (...perhaps this makes defeat more agonizing and victory more pleasing?)
makes my day
I derided Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in general until I seriously looked into it, and then I could hardly sleep for days because of the huge implications of it.

Bitcoin allows people who are unbanked, especially in developing countries, to hold and transmit money across the world at practically zero cost. Since bitcoin is decentralized, there are no middlemen like banks to take a cut or freeze your account.

Besides, there are a lot more crimes being perpetrated with fiat and credit cards by financial institutions and governments. And with new allegations that it was the US Feds that stole the money from Mt. GOX users (and not Mark Karpeles), I wonder if there isn't a nasty propaganda campaign against bitcoin going on.

This article is close to clueless. But then, for a time so was I.
The WIP Pull Request
I usually create dummy targets for that kind of thing, and then include loops to create dependencies of each of the N on the dummy task. Alternatively, you can create a directory for the output and use that as a target, although you need to ensure the target directory only exists once the M:N task has finished.
The conclusion ("It’s incorrect to say Bitcoin doesn’t have a use case. It does. It’s just illegal in the US.") seems strange given that there is a big section of the article on semi-illegal things - basically things that are legal but traditional financial companies don't want to touch. The article says "mostly gambling, marijuana, and porn" but I'd also add politically controversial things, like when all the payment processors decided they didn't want to handle donations to Wikileaks after the US government asked them to make that change. These are real and legal use cases.
Silver bullets do exist, I just found 10 different sellers on Ebay. But steel is probably more effective.
That's awesome. Would love to do a container for it.
> Bitcoin is great for illegal goods/services

> Tax evasion and escaping capital controls are also possible with Bitcoin

Bitcoin is about as useful as lucky sunglasses for illegal transactions. Just ask Ross William Ulbricht.

I don't engage in illegal transactions. But if I did, I wouldn't use a mechanism that leaves a permanent, publicly available record just waiting to be de-anonymized.

> Bitcoin is powerful because it allows people to circumvent regulations, as it does not rely on the traditional banking system.

False. Regulations do not limit themselves to the traditional banking system. Bitcoin is about as useful as lucky sunglasses for avoiding regulation. Sure you can get away with it a few times,....
> There is no single thing that they do really, really well that's highly useful to a large share of the population.

Could you sketch how, so we can think about countermeasures?
Conan almost looks like Caesar Flickerman on the streets of Havana. My wife is Cuban, I grew up in Miami. Cuba is a beautiful country with an interesting culture and a extremely corrupt oppressive government. The government of Cuba lies somewhere between Russia and North Korea for political oppression it is the type of place where expressing discontent the government in your own home can get you thrown in jail for years without judicial process. I do not have the words to describe the soul sucking disparity that exists in that country if you're not coming in with first world money.

Marco Rubio only scratched the surface of the reality in this speech: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_wKhXurFyI&feature=youtu.be

My brother in Law was thrown in jail for a year just for trying to leave the country. He went into jail 200lbs and exited just over 110bs.

Please understand with some intellectual honesty that people will not risk their lives [1] and face jail time in the equivalent of a Russian gulag if things are peachy dory.

How do you map from something imprecise to something precise in daily life? For example, you tell the kids "go to school", very vague (walk or bus or wait for you to drive), and each detailed steps require even detailed actions (composability). So how did you reach the efficiency with only "go to school"?

First of all, we have mechanisms to establish conventions -- which is the user maintainable dictionary I was referring to. Second, we have direct feed back -- if the kids didn't move or the school called, we know something went wrong, (then we strengthen or correct the conventions). In the two layer programming structure, both layers are within programmer's access. Programmer try to work at the top layer as we do in our daily life, but we will get signals from lower level compiler, and we can verify the lower level code directly (which is as readable as what you do today -- you are only working at the lower level language today). It is not one or the other, that is how we manage the daily efficiency.

Are you a mathematician? How much math do you speak anyway? Even my fellow mathematician convey most of the mathematical meaning in English. Can you imagine mathematicians only write in math (as today's programmer do)? Theorem, at least from the math books on my shelf, are mostly composed in English (more words than math). And even in pure math equations, we make up new symbols (with special meanings under special context, not just operators, what do you think the concept of algebra is) all the time, which is along the same line of vocabulary based programming.

If you think I am saying that math can work with English only, then you misunderstood me.
The State of the Container – March
Ah, very interesting then. I lived in Germany for three years, but there are still obviously many aspects of German culture I'm still not 100% on. Thanks for that correction. My understanding from the time (mid 2000s) was that the school tracking happened relatively early and that moves between tracks were infrequent.
The Cloud’s Shadow on Grass Computing
It seems like this author has confused "C&C" with "management which is out of touch with employees and provides no clear guidelines" and "holacracy" with "good management which is in touch with employees and provides clear boundaries and guidelines and power structures".

The author says "No one knows who gets to decide what." is a trait of C&C, which holacracy solves.

This article has confused my own understanding of the term "holacracy" quite a bit.

Maybe there is a good definition of the term elsewhere?
Besides being batshit crazy?

For the same reason I use "Github" instead of saying "distributed version control ddos'ed" or "git unavailable on the internet". It picks out a more precise set of attributes and methods and limits the likelihood of slipping into anthropomorphisms such as "The Chinese." In particular it limits the range of what is historically relevant: ground combat against the US Army in the 1950's is, against the USMC in 1900 not so much.

Since I believe this is a matter of foreign policy and international trade, the sovereign and the corporation are the appropriate level of abstraction for analysis and language should reflect that in order to be clear.

Was it the 中國人民解放軍 or the 中华人民共和国?

>"and he asked it out of the blue during a hearing that mostly focused on tensions in the Middle East"

Are we talking about the same question? Your claim directly contradicts Wyden's statement on the matter.

Do you believe that Wyden's statement is true? And if not, what evidence do you have, and do you believe Wyden is a liar because he intended to mislead people by saying the following? Or did you accidentally make a "too cute by half" factual error or "least untruthful statement" when you claimed he "asked it out of the blue", and it was never your intent to mislead?

Former teen here. When I was a teen, we used MySpace and slowly transitioned to facebook. So why did I spend so much time on it despite basically adding only people I saw at school?

- you don't see people every day at school. or if you do, your time is limited with them
- texting gets you so far but facebook is not a direct communication channel anyways, never was. It's a "let me tell everyone something!" type of thing. MySpace was the same thing
- FB/MySpace let you post pictures. Sending pics is still cumbersome and you can't just "blast it". Instagram, obviously, is better at that and definitely my new app of choice (and SnapChat too but Snapchat has less of my friends on it).

Idk, just some thoughts.
It is. The spec is just more complicated. The meaning of a such a program is entirely defined by the code of the compiler and the underlying architecture. But it's true that some systems are so complex that we study them empirically like natural objects rather than formally.
It's been out for months to purchase. It will be released on April 9, though.
Might be useful to mention how to apply.
Here's a crazy idea... let's stop treating curriculums like silver bullets and realize that no matter what we do we're not going to succeed with the current system of "hope your innate talents match up with the current education model du jour".

Education needs to be radically tailored to individual students or we're going to continually be trapped in this vicious cycle of "Current education paradigm X is broken, paradigm Y will solve all of our problems!" (where Y ∈ {"more math!", "more programming!", "more fundamentals!", "more application!", ...}).

Yes, highly customized education doesn't scale. Yes, it's very expensive. But sacrificing future generations on the altar of "efficiency" seems highly suspect to me, and the honest fact is if the incentives within the American (sorry non-US people!) education system were properly aligned we would be much farther along. Granted, that's a difficult task, but I didn't get into computers so I could spend my time working on easy problems.
> The problems Bitcoin claims to be trying to solve were already solved by the banks a while back.

Bitcoin (according to its website) claims to provide instant P2P transactions and very low processing fees. International bank transactions take days or weeks and have very high fees.

But even more importantly, bitcoins do not require a bank account. All it requires is internet or text messaging access. This is very important for the developing world where many people do not have bank accounts.

Bitcoin's killer app is its function as a store of value. It's hard to see this when there are plenty of things that are storing value better at the moment, like traditional currencies and assets. But I don't think that will hold indefinitely (especially given our asset bubble), and that will lead people to look for ledgers with predictable supply, like gold and Bitcoin.

Then again, maybe I'm crazy.
Wow - I totally didn't notice that.

What is "secure" depends on the scenario you have in mind. I keep some work-related on my flash drive encrypted, in case I loose the flash drive on the train or something like that. There was a case a couple of years back where somebody in the UK, I think, lost a flash drive with very sensitive data, like, medical records of prison inmates or something like that, on a train, unencrypted - the data I carry is far less sensitive, but this is precisely the scenario I want to be protected from.

Telling someone there is a tool to reduce risk, that doesn't actually reduce risk (enough), actually makes things much much worse.
The Tumblr part where the kids are saying "I'm a huge nerd" or "I'm a big geek" made me unnecessarily angry. Why did being a nerd have to become a trendy thing? I remember when my love of C++ and Calculus wasn't something to brag about. I guess I'm just old.
Thanks, for anyone curious here's what emacs does with the first example:

http://imgur.com/Rddi9QH

compare with color_coded:
https://camo.githubusercontent.com/5cf719c6357f27b86c45bf9b5...

So it looks like color_coded can highlight at least a few things that default emacs doesn't: function calls, variables (when they are used, both can highlight declarations) and non-standard type template parameters.
If you're into this kind of thing, just dig in and give it a shot! Old systems are surprisingly understandable after a few hours' research and fooling around.

There's a community that looks for unused content that remains in games. The main wiki for this community is <http://tcrf.net/ >, which contains a fascinating amount of material. If you don't see your favorite old game on there, why not dissect it and try to find some unused stuff?

I did this for a favorite old game of mine called M.C. Kids. I reverse-engineered the game's level and graphics data formats and managed to create a level dumper for the game. Then, I did the same for a leaked prototype version of the game. I took the dumped images and made a page on TCRF comparing them:

http://tcrf.net/Proto:M.C._Kids

It took a few months on afternoons and weekends. It was very challenging, but I never felt overwhelmed by the details. There's really only so much you can do with three registers and little more than adding and branching instructions. If you're curious to see what a reverse-engineered level dumper looks like, the code is available at <https://gitlab.com/mcmapper/mcmapper/blob/master/main.c >.
FWIW, my tool Ninja (was just on here again this week here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9282539 ) was designed to be more or less the same idea as make with some semantic fixes, and that includes supporting multiple outputs.

You can see the brief list of improvements here:

https://martine.github.io/ninja/manual.html#_comparison_to_m...

(Within Ninja this manifests concretely as needing to represent the build graph as a bipartite graph between files and commands. Though I don't know make's internal representation, I imagine the straightforward implementation is as a graph between files and I can imagine why it'd be difficult to make multiple outputs work in that case.)
If you read the fine print and use Pathogen, you can just clone and make in .vim/bundle/color_coded and it will work.
> International bank transactions take days or weeks and have very high fees.

Not really. I mean, I'm sure they can if you're moving millions, but small transactions are pretty much instant, even internationally, at least between modern banks in 2 countries. And the fees (if there even are any) are negligible.

Anyhow, that's my experience with my bank. I do know that American banks can be behind the times a bit...

Bitcoin is for Criminals, Cowards, and Crazies.

Criminals, who find it useful as a mechanism for transferring and storing income from illegal activities.

Cowards, who want to hide behind a cryptocurrency to protect themselves from social and government problems that can only be solved through education and democracy.

And crazies who think that Obama is a secret atheist muslim who is fighting a secret war of confiscation and redistribution against America.
