Part of why minecraft is so stagnant goes straight back to the original awkwardness mentioned in the article- Seemingly everyone with power in the minecraft system stops communicating, gets overly defensive about something, and causes the rest of the community to splinter, while forcing them to rebuild everything to avoid IP claims.
Ha ha reading the article it seems the author intentionally didn't do any reading of anything other than the info included with the game. I can see that without reading a noob guide or checking out the DF wiki at the very least a player would have absolutely zero idea about what the heck is going on.
It's quite possible it doesn't happen, but it's also a trivial SQL command to find out..
@quonn: It exlcudes begging for money, but wouldn't exclude begging for food and shelter.

There was a documentation about people living together in an apartment. They were maybe 10 people living together in one small apartment, eating not what they buy but what they can gather from super market garbage cans. They all had families and some had education and opportunity to work but they choose to live this way because of their political point of view. That's how they survived in Berlin on quite a small budget.

Is that a live I would choose? No. But it doesn't mean others don't choose that life.

What about the idea of poverty not being about money?
What, where is this coming from? Selling software for the marijuana industry doesn't appear to be explicitly covered by Stripe's prohibited business (it says "Marijuana dispensaries and related businesses", but how far does that extend?)

Stripe themselves further cloud the issue by claiming it as a high risk of customer disputes, which is demonstrably bogus and a black mark against them.
I think the implication is the Minecraft had stalled under Mojang, and that hopefully Microsoft can get things going again. Which is usually the opposite of what's expected when a large corp buys a small shop.
>> A few months ago we started using Stripe as they payment gateway for our marijuana regulatory compliance software

> As far as the Fed is concerned, any support of the illegal drug trade industry is a Felony.

Are you saying the seller has probably committed a felony by selling this software?

Because if true, I would think they would have been incredibly stupid to draw attention to their business on the HN front page, which they do not seem to be.

True, but the real problem was there was no way to tell if your results were corrupted or not. This made the chip unusable if you had to rely on the results.
Because those other posters have used boost convertors in the past (as long as say 8 years ago?)...

Whether or not the efficiency claims hold up is something to wonder about but the basic principle works just fine and you can slap one together on a breadboard for a few $.
I think your last point about data retention is really the big question. Given the ever-growing use of Parallel Construction in making cases from illegally obtained data (or data authorized only for a different use), its not enough that all these policies be stopped -- we need to address how long they can keep the fruits of their labor.
It is rather easy to build behaviors in systems that are Turing-complete (thus undecidable). What is more complicated is building nontrivial models (i.e. showing complex behavior) that are still decidable or even decidable in polynomial time.
So is the writing on a postcard; doesn't mean you want it published.
I feel like this (testing disinformation campaigns within the US) wasn't addressed fully and is the most significant aspect of the "trolling" operations. Not many care if Russians are spreading lies to Russians about Putin, but attempting to cause panic in the US by faking a disaster is the most dangerous aspect of this practice.
Transducers seem really nice, but wouldn't they be unnecessary in a language that could optimize list (etc) fusion?

What does "air gapped" mean?
The fact still remains that someone can turn on Minecraft, mine a few blocks, and "get" the game, especially if they've played with LEGOs. Dwarf Fortress not so much.
And if you try to apply a minimum wage fit for living in portland, the difference in amount of jobs would only grow.
One interesting effect not mentioned in the article: there will still be a net jobs decrease, even as the median grows more prosperous.

Why? Because a "job" that is "created" is a static task, and that's exactly what's being automated away. What will remain will be cyborg-people (whether physically or not; but aren't I talking into your brain right now with a finger prosthetic?) coming up with unique value propositions.
That's basically how it works. There's a pair of wires that run USB 2.0. Those are then used to negotiate what the 8 high speed wires and 2 sideband wires are used for.

Njummy, breaded chicken.

My house is in the middle of a bird sanctuary and there are giant 3MW windmills within a stones throw of the nesting grounds. I'm sure they occasionally swat a bird but it's not exactly as if the ground is littered with corpses, definitely not worse than alongside any major highway. And with 100K+ birds nesting there you'd expect to see at least some significant evidence of that theory.
I'm guessing that the master branch is first merged down to their develop branch or directly to their release branch. That way their release branch does have everything in master already.
Means that they are not physically connected to the other systems, that there should be no possible way to reach the avionics from e.g. the in-flight entertainment system.
I meant "you can assume an x86 system will have a floating point unit and MMX", and you've explained that SSE2 is also a reasonable assumption.
Roughly, not connected in any way.

> An air gap or air wall is a network security measure that consists of ensuring that a secure computer network is physically isolated from unsecured networks, such as the public Internet or an unsecured local area network. It is often taken for computers and networks that must be extraordinarily secure. Frequently the air gap is not completely literal, such as via the use of dedicated cryptographic devices that can tunnel packets over untrusted networks while avoiding packet rate or size variation; even in this case, there is no ability for computers on opposite sides of the air gap to communicate.

The case above is an example cited as a life-critical system:

Good point. If you have enough food, because, for instance, you make your own by farming and hunting, then you don't need more money to fight hunger, right?

Also if you compare someone who has everything they need and want to someone who simply has a lot of money, is the first person necessarily less happy?

What if we define poverty as "lack of food <add other points here like education>" instead of "lack of money"?

What if we define poverty differently but still consider giving people money who need money as a good way to help them?
Indeed that is the case:

Why doesn't North Korea set up a drug marketplace? It would be diplomatically impossible to shut down and it would bring in valuable hard currency. Some users would be put off by funding oppression but others would flock to having certainty guarantees. NK apparently trains enough security engineers that building this isn't outside of their scope.
This just redefines "poverty" to be a statement about inequality, instead of a statement about making sure the least-wealthy are above a certain living standard.

Fighting inequality is a good fight, but redefining poverty so that it means inequality does a dis-service to those genuinely below the poverty line.
Local variations can be huge so you are spot on that for any site that expects to produce power a local assessment is a must. Even so a chart like that helps to determine whether or not going for windpower makes sense at all and how much you can (on average) expect to get out of it indicating what your 'mix' of renewables should be to ensure year-round power, which is especially important for off-grid installations.

We have already identified a new on-line payment gateway which has internal underwriting and answers their phone when we call. I spoke at length to the staff, have a follow-up meeting with underwriting so they can be sure we're not breaking any laws.

Completely disconnected. It refers to the physical metaphor of having a gap of air (no wired connections) between critical systems (like the flight software) and other systems (like the entertainment system), although it's sometimes implemented via software means such as cryptographic tunneling rather than a physical gap.
"Air gapped" means that there is a physical separation between two networks (i.e., there's "air" between them). If two networks are physically connected, there is always a chance that someone could bypass any software security restrictions. If the two networks aren't physically connected, there's no way to gain access to one network from another.

In this instance, the inflight entertainment network and the avionics network were physically connected, and the security researcher was able to gain access to the avionics network by connecting to the inflight entertainment network.
That's my point. They shouldn't be. I never gave Github permission to publish my keys. The "public" part in the key is merely there to distinguish it from the "private"-part ("never share this with anyone"). It should signify "share this with people whose machine you want to access", not "share this with the whole world".

From a healthy paranoid point of view: you don't share your public key unless you have to. Sure, there are no known attacks on strong RSA keys today, but that doesn't mean there will never be. Why take that risk with, literally, thousands of keys and people's security? It's rude at the very least.

Of course, you should never use your Github keys for anything else, but that's beside the point entirely.

As for the comments: key comments are useful but often contain information that can identify a person (e-mail address, username@machine etc). Publishing that would have been even worse.

Looking Forward: Support for Secure Shell
It helps a lot, very informational, thanks!
I really enjoy reading how organizations have implemented continuous deployment.

One question I have which is not addressed by the article is how to deal with database changes. Every database has difficulty with schema migrations to one degree or another, but MySQL (which IIRC is what GitHub uses) is particularly bad. In my organization, we are VERY careful with any deploy that contains a migration.

(I suppose this is where GitHub's staging environments with real world datasets come in.)

One workaround I've considered is automatically deploying code that doesn't contain a migration (which is the vast majority) and forcing a more manual approach to database migrations, to make sure people are on hand to roll it back if necessary.
> Too bad things don't work that way, otherwise we'd have to arrest all the state governments that have approved medical or recreational use

Actually they do work that way.

And yes, the Fed has had a standoff with many States, and yanked funding for things in some cases. Also the DEA has been known to raid long standing medical marijuana clinics in CA. The current administration is a little lax on Marijuana, but that doesn't somehow make the law not apply here (The next administration could come down with a whip).

At the end of the day, there is no other way to slice it. Supporting marijuana in any capacity is currently against federal law.

Absolute poverty is about actual living standards. How much food, housing, healthcare etc I have.

Subjective poverty is about social status. Where am I in a ranked list of wealth and resources?

Absolute poverty can change a lot, and that reflects real change in quality of life.

Subjective poverty is a zero sum game. Half the people will always be in the bottom half, because math.

As a fellow business owner I can empathize with the apprehension. We've been approached about building apps for the marijuana industry and have a lot of debates around whether that puts us into a precarious position. The consensus is that we would not be held accountable for simply providing a service especially given that it would not directly relate to the transaction of the actual product nor would it be part of the path that would be considered "laundering." I understand where you're coming from. It's tough to be put in a position in which you believe you may be putting your company at risk, but I think Stripe is missing an opportunity that could position the business as a leader to help change the precedence. Just my two cents. Nice response though. Love seeing business owners here defending their position instead of cowering to poorly written diatribes.

However, if their bet fails and automation alone can't make up for the shortfall in the labor force, they stand to lose more compared to other countries like the US and those in Europe that do a better job of integrating immigrants into society and the workforce.

"On Thursday, France's parliament unanimously approved a new law prohibiting large supermarkets from throwing out unsold food, instead mandating stores donate any surplus groceries to charities or for animal feed use.

The law, which aims to reduce waste in a country where people trash up to 30 kilos of food per person annually, is part of a more general energy and environmental bill."
