> If you want better targeting why is there no place where I can select the kind of things I am interested in? Why can't I take an ad and say I have no interest in that kind of product (In online dating the only thing that matters is traffic, so I would never go to a pay site)? It is valuable information to you, allows better targeting and a better chance I will buy the product.

You can do that with Facebook ads, can't you?
That would be discarding the effect of print, since inputs aren't just ignored, but used to modify the system somehow somewhere. Replace print* by set!, `:=` if that helps.

Yes the relationship between input and output is clearly defined, though. Your point of view raises a good point about precision when talking about purity and functions.
NRK, the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation, has actually been one of the biggest pushers of DAB in Norway. Their main public argument is that DAB provides space for many more channels, although their main motivation is probably their own massive cost savings of only producing digital radio.
> Really hard to predict, and the change won't be disruptive and sudden.

What leads you to that conclusion? I'm not saying you are wrong (who knows) but I'm curious how you reached it.

I can't decide whether the transition is likely to be evolutionary or revolutionary, I think a lot of it will come down to how it's handled over the period.
IPython has this as a configuration option. I only use it in the interactive interpreter (not sure if it works in scripts, but I don't think that's a good idea anyhow). I like being able to type

Invest enough in some businesses to ensure the pot is renewed yearly.
Some of the converters essentially receive DAB and then convert it to FM to rebroadcast it to your current car radio.
I don't follow your analogy. The smallest tradeable unit of bitcoins (the satoshi) is currently well under a thousandth of a U.S. cent. This is "too expensive ... to use for trade"?
When you've decided it's failed.

Many successful people say: "Never give up. Be persistent. That's the key to being successful."

Edison would agree with them.
Yes, this is a good point!
I think the infosec community needs to grow up.

Vauge non-specific demands of a loose and fluid group with little to no control over it's members set the group up for inevitable failure.

Without critical thought, it appears to be a reasonable request. Which is why the people who never want to listen to The Cavalry or EFF say it, and why the rest of us propagate the idea. But it's a trap.

Yes, talking about potential security risks is a good thing.

Doing so while on a plane full of people is not a good idea.
That was my introduction to electronics too, I don't remember it needing any soldering though.

After this, my grandfather taught me how to make PCBs and more complicated radios.
I wonder if the fact that you need a membership card to even get into a costco store has anything to do with this. I'm guessing it is a lot harder to commit credit card fraud which is what the justification for a lot of the fees the credit card processors charge is.
Do Costco shoppers have a higher percentage of "loan activity" on their cards? The type of activity that is more lucrative for credit card companies.

I would think that a possibility, given that many small businesses stock their shelves with products bought directly from Costco.
> Specifically, they wanted to see if over time, your roommate was more likely to begin to see you the way you see yourself. The answer was yes: so long as you have lived together for a minimum of nine months. It takes that long for perceptions to even begin to get in sync. And even then, the correlations between how college students saw themselves and how their roommates saw them were surprisingly low, in the .2-.5 range (remember, 1 would be a perfect correlation).

In my native language this fact is recognized with a saying "You'll eat barrel of salt before you know a man." meaning it takes so long that even though you don't consume much salt daily you'll eventually consume a barrel sooner than you get to know a man.

Poles are perceived as distrusting towards people that are not our closes friends. I guess we are just realistic and reserved towards unknown.
Thankfully the "more channels/ more choice" actually happened in Norway. However - apart from that, DAB is a bad deal.

Right now it's become a typical "we can't stop right in the middle, so let's continue forward full speed"-situation. So much has been invested in DAB in Norway that stopping the transition would be just as expensive, if not more so.
You're trying really hard to make this an ethical argument where there aren't grounds for it.

I work with content creators in the gaming community on a regular basis and I am well aware of the "content creator's perspective". Believe it or not, a lot of content creators fully understand why someone would use adblock. They also understand that their success isn't measured in how many ads they print, but how much reach they have; and if you start pissing on people who block ads (Who are going to be a huge part of your userbase), you will suffer for it. ESPECIALLY in the gaming community, which holds grudges like you wouldn't believe.

The only ones who believe blocking ads is in a "grey area of morality" are advertisers. You can't just claim something is unethical because it hurts your business. I boycott Paypal for example, and I'm sure Paypal would make the case that it's unethical to boycott them.

Entering the business of giving free shit in exchange for the good will of people to funnel them advertising revenue is, and should be, a calculated risk.

There is no such thing as an "exchange of content for ad impressions". The "exchange" between the user and the content producer is free, and the real exchange happens between the content producer and the advertiser. The interaction between the business and the user is limited to the content they offer, and anti-value added by the advertiser (which is then an exchange between the user and the advertiser).

As a user, I choose to make an exchange with the business (in most cases not involving money), and I choose not to make an exchange with the advertiser because I don't trust the advertiser. I don't want the advertiser anywhere near me or my children. Work on that image and we can talk.
Isn't it also just a matter of time before machines are writing the software?
For the record, I view that as gaming the credit cards. That is an oddity of the way that credit reporting agencies work that using 5 credit cards is perceived as better than spending the same amount on 1 card.
Yes, almost all of the ~600BTC from that huge increase in expected BTC holdings during Jul-Oct 2011 are unaccounted for. But this seems completely orthogonal to the fact that they loose track of ~450BTC during that timeframe, which this "gap" is about.

Those are two seperate events in the same timeframe: The ~450BTC which cause the gap all reappear in November 2011, while the disparity is growing at a rate that perfectly matches the disparity growth after the gap (see third graph).

Also these ~500BTC aren't "almost all" "missing" bitcoins, but only half of the bitcoins they can't account for.

If your net expense of drafting is $13/week then you're either getting ripped off or losing every game and going out of your way to avoid picking any valuable cards. It's been a few years since I last played, but when I did draft weekly I averaged well over $5 of cards per draft without explicitly money-drafting anything that didn't pay for the draft by itself. The median draft leaves you with a few $1 rares, but there's enough high outliers to pull the mean up quite a bit.
I was lucky enough to be mentored by one of the senior programmers in my first serious job. I didn't set out to "find a mentor", I simply made friends with someone more senior than me. It was a relationship built on respect and friendship, and when I showed that I was interested in learning, respected their greater experience intellectually and didn't make the same mistakes twice the other party was more than happy to impart their knowledge. It was a pleasurable experience for both of us I believe.

So my advice would be not to head out with the intention of acquiring a mentor ... just head out into the job market to make friends with the attitude of a good student, and with any luck a mentor will find you.
How do they know that those BTC went to exchanges? The probably can check which BTC went back to Mt Gox, but how do they know that a particular receiving address belonged to e.g. Bitcoinica?
Methanol poisoning in the prohibition era was the result of trying, and failing, to purify methylated ethanol. That was not in the picture in this case. Even if they had a really crappy distillation operation, it would not have produced a fatal dose of methanol, even if someone intentionally dosed the victim with the "heads" of a distillation. You would die from the ethanol first.
In addition to monopoly and scale effects there capital requirements, access to financial capital, and regulatory capture to consider. Look through Smith's *Wealth of Nations for discussion of all of this.

The one and only mention of "free markets" in the book occurs in a description of protectionist restrictions on trade imposed by manufacturers of finished goods -- ensuring no competing imports of foreign products but a cheap supply of raw materials.
I'm not even sure which point you are trying to make.

Did you even read the link you posted? It supports what I said.

You keep writing walls of text which are either wrong or don't relate to the topic at hand. Many of the mistakes should be obvious to a person who has used Scala for more than 5 minutes, so I'm really wondering what's your issue here ...

Not liking Scala is perfectly fine. It's not necessary to make up claims (which don't hold up to 5 seconds of scrutiny).

Edit: Instead of editing you post trying to evoke a more emotional response from people, why not focus on correcting your false claims?
DAB vendors and implementors should profit nicely, though.
Every week we have this conversation and every week it's the same thing, a shrug and no real solution.

I think it's going to take a clear "line in the sand" event for anyone to actually figure out how to solve this issue.

How do you convert big amounts of bitcoins into cash, even over time, without leaving a trace? Isn't there bank account information involved leading to individuals, which a criminal investigation could request?
Welfare is not the answer. It just isn't satisfying being handed a check for doing nothing. Jiro Ono (the sushi craftsman) is an inspiration on how hard work can really provide satisfaction in ones life.

What I would hope is that with machines covering the necessities we see a huge surge in the arts, education, and craft.

A perfect example is the craft beer movement (tap rooms are popping up everywhere by people who enjoy their craft - and it is glorious!). It's generating quite a bit of money too.
What is the Norwegian government planning to do with the newly freed FM band? Release it to amateur music radio stations?
As opposed to? Any system of exchange has transaction costs. Even cash does, to the point that many businesses prefer credit card transactions (fees and all) to cash ones. Being able to lower the transaction cost is advantageous to the entire ecosystem, but as an individual consumer it needs to offer more than an altruistic benefit.

Right now credit cards are pretty great for consumers (assuming they can handle the budget discipline required for their use). Virtually free 30 day credit, consolidated purchasing, and fraud protection will be very hard to replicate with any other transactional system.

The insurance angle is a red herring. I've never used it in my life, and the credit card companies offer it because it is essentially free to offer due to the systems they have to put in place for fraud/credit risk.
Getting rid of these older analog radio technologies is short-sighted unless there is a real compelling and complete replacement already cheap and widely available.

FM (and AM) radio are great technologies. Just because they are "old" doesn't mean there is something better.

In the US, Internet streaming (of existing stations), digital HD radio, and XM satellite rarely achieves a fidelity that equals FM (when the FM reception is clear). All of them suffer from unpleasant distortion. FM is not without it's warts, but the "errors" are less distracting IMO. They also all suffer from binary operation. They either work or they don't. FM fails somewhat gracefully in that the signal just gets noisier the further from the source you are.
I don't like Facebook but I am finding it hard to believe that they would take down someone's page based on a police request. You would think that a Judge's order would at least be required.
In which environment?

Many years ago, Wizards of the Coast realized that the game was unapproachable when all the cards are legal. So they created supported formats, and people just agree on which one to use before they play. For instance, we could play a deck where all cards have been printed in the last couple of years (the standard format), or we could play only with common cards, but from any expansion ever (pauper). The formats where you can play with pretty much every card ever printed are not those most, if anyone, play.

Owning four copies of the cards in Standard is pretty expensive: A refresh is about a grand a year. But even pro players don't do that. People aim for having a couple of decks per format, Which is a lot cheaper, especially if you trade your unused cards.

To play for cheap, people play draft. 8 people, 3 boosters per player ($15 or so), and you can have a little tournament for a few hours. And enough drafting will get you cards that you could save to use for standard decks.

It's still a pretty expensive hobby, but it's not like you need to buy the $1000 cards to play.

> I'm aware that the doctors opinion is what goes and he has all the power, but I feel I've been wronged.

He actually has little power. You can go to a different doctor. There are many people that abuse this fact, e.g. keep switching doctors until they find one that prescribes them painkillers, but in your case it sounds perfectly valid. You have ten other opinions that think it's perfectly fine to combine your meds.
That is a large part of the American Express business model. They can offer larger incentives for use (to make up for the lower acceptance rate) because they get more in interest from the card as many small businesses use Amex as their operating line of credit.
Why replace coffee? Coffee has evolved alongside the human organism and become a great fit.

There are also many other drugs (both plant and pure chemical) that may offer interesting and useful effects, but I don't think that any will "replace" coffee.

You don't get the check for doing nothing. You get the check for doing whatever you want. Most people would find that very satisfying.
Netflix sets pricing based on local piracy rates
That is very locality dependent but can be true. I was really talking about the "have a bunch of credit cards" instead of "one credit card" difference.

The actual usage/spending on the cards does vary greatly from place to place.
A belated response to “A Generation Lost in the Bazaar“
Not just the car but the mobile phone.

Most phones in Europe* (not just smartphones) can get FM radio, because including it adds nothing to the cost. DAB, by contrast, costs too much and uses too much power to be included in phones.

So, Norway is not just giving up on car users, it is also giving up on mobile phone users, ie the next generation of potential radio listeners.

* Most US smartphones also include FM radios, because it's a standard element of radio (FM, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth) chips. However, FM is often disabled by the manufacturer (eg Apple) or by the carrier.

The code in question strikes me as being a proof of concept. Obviously, a more complete implementation would be more complex.

A tiny server for offices with music. Hate what someone is playing? Press NOPE
I really like the writing on this article. So simple and to the point. No attempt at doing some 'human interest' opening with an irrelevant story about how Richard Garfield grew up inventing trading games using sticks on the family farm. On the other hand, maybe I wouldn't have found it interesting if I didn't already know the game. And I wouldn't have minded if it had more content to it.
One probable method would be to look at the addresses that other people used to deposit to an exchange. Many people make this public, for various reasons.

I assume the investigators would see a pattern of many small deposits being moved directly from those deposit addresses into the exchange's hot and cold wallets, which contained large amounts of money. That pattern could be recognized and the exchange's main wallets identified beyond reasonable doubt. Withdrawals from the exchange could also be tracked, I assume. Probably there is more sophisticated analysis of addresses clusters involved too.
You would also need to align the stack per. target requirements (gcc keyword, or offset the address). The aliment guarantees for char[] placed on stack are probably insufficient for many machines.
A bit OT

This reminds me that I tried to register a Dutch domain with them a few weeks ago. It said the domain was not available. Strange, because it was a very specific name. I then tried with another service and got it right away.

So I send Namecheap a support request how this could have happened. Never got any reply.

If DAB was a modern technology that might make sense. However, it was developed in the 1990s around the MP2 codec. It's roughly as old as the web.

You'd not choose DAB if you were doing digital radio today.
There is literally nothing that film cameras can do that digital camera's can't do

Yes there is. Film cameras can force you to take into account the additional limitations you have when you go about taking your photographs. If you're practising an art form, that is part of your art.

film and digital photography are two almost identical processes to produce the same end result.

End result? Sure, that's one part of the art. One part. It's an important part, but if you're talking about art, it's by no means all there is.
I suspect the person who wrote the article does not know the difference between Facebook and the Internet. Or is one of those that simply calls the Internet "Facebook". Yes, they exist, all over in fact...

In Germany you would have a hard time using a credit card for daily purchases. Most physical stores that don't sell things worth hundreds of dollars don't accept credit cards. We almost exclusively use cash and debit cards (backed by the bank account, not prepaid). I observe the same in the rest of Europe.
If that became true, I'd just switch to basic research. There are an infinite number of open-ended questions to answer in the universe.

If machines become better at basic research than humans, then we have achieved one of the key features of Banks' Culture. That's a feature, not a bug.
The alternative to grain (grocery store waste) doesn't seem like its going to work either. Its a feedback problem - we don't waste as much as we eat; we can't produce the food we eat from its waste. Like the movie Soylent Green - can't use people to feed people.
Why would it be my god? It was a claim that the OP made that I was disputing.

How hackable are you really?
Well sure I am all for the possibility of a post-scarcity society but it does mean that any current economic model to explain the market or people will have to be completely rewritten. In fact I believe the very reason why we aren't seeing economic models rewritten is because the impact of technology is still considered an externality in economic theory. This is a shame.
Norway is using DAB+, which is based on the modern HE-AAC codec. We were going to use the old MP2-based DAB, but switched to DAB+ pretty quickly.

Right now most channels are being transmitted in either DAB or DAB+ (DAB+ devices can receive both), but DAB+ is the future and DAB is going away. It's going to suck for the early DAB adopters though, who's soon going to be left with incompatible radios.
Nonsense. Science is defined as skepticism and empiricism. Its the opposite of blind. The "science is another religion" is a common meme and its lazy, mean and wrong.
The incentives for this aren't very good.
You can get single-chip FM radio ICs for <$1. What's the cheapest DAB radio IC at the moment? Looking at what DAB involves there seems to be at least an order of magnitude more complexity.

FM is not nearly as simple to receive compared to AM (are they switching that off anytime soon...?), but I think the cost of receivers is a big factor in broadcast applications - affordable receivers is what made radio popular in the first place.

I use a charcoal grill, would never stoop to a gas grill. Its an art form. If the cameras were being used as reality-documentation devices, then sure use a digital one. But as an art, its like using camel-hair brushes instead of plastic, or doing pottery in a shed in northern Wisconsin instead of a flat in NY. It changes the person; it changes the art.
