With darknet markets and independent lab testing networks, this type of thing doesn't happen.

I agree that darknet markets are safer than traditional drug markets, but the poisoning risks can still apply. There was recently a huge flux of PMA being distributed as molly on Agora and other markets from sellers who have known to be reputable in the past. If you know anyone that is purchasing this stuff, encourage them to always test it themselves before using.

You are an unethical person. I'm pleasantly surprised Apple shut this down.
This makes me very excited but also a bit sad. I'm developing a similar product, so this is great validation. On the other hand, this is quite the competition.

Could someone share a link to the original presentation? I'd love more technical details.

Is this SDHC or SDXC compatible? If they support SDXC, how do they reconcile "fully open source" with the fact that SDXC requires exFAT which is proprietary and protected by patents?

Building something like this requires an SD Slave Controller. It would be absolutely fantastic if they open source that! Fully verified and SDXC compatible? This makes me drool. Unfortunately the necessary information to implement and verify is walled behind NDAs (SD Association), unless of course you have reversed it with a logic analyzer. I don't think that's what Google has done, which makes me very curious.

If the slave controller is not open source, that begs the question of how data is transferred to the RTOS. A closed source core with DMA to whatever you run on it will exclude it from certain privacy-sensitive use cases.

If anyone at Google is reading this, consider using cores from cryptech.is for your crypto. You're already a funder so you might as well reuse them.

Yes exactly, the reasoning proceeds from this silly world of "shoulds" which does not actually exist. In the actually-existing world, people buy drugs, and so there is value in addressing that demand as safely as possible. Instead we have cynical people like these, talking about how the real right thing is to just not sell drugs at all.

(And that's not even getting into the issue of whether we should be allowed to have drugs as supposedly free people)
What Is Pub-Sub? Rails Publish-Subscribe Pattern Tutorial
Yes, exactly. Use URLs like gitfork:https://... and register a handler for the "gitfork" scheme. (The site could also register a handler for git:// , but that won't help for http or https, and git:// isn't secure, so I'd suggest avoiding that.) As a backup, also provide links to some central domain that allows people to configure where they'd like to redirect it to.
1. There is no evidence to support purposeful lying about WMDs. Bush admin rushed the intelligence agency and relied on Yes Men to build their story. I'm sure there was some law breaking going on but good luck identifying who what and when.

2. Glass Stegal wouldn't have prevented shit. In fact the combination banks Glass Stegal would have prevented--BoA and Chase--were the banks who were strong enough to absorb the shitty failed banks--merill and lehman--that were often just investment banks.

Taking irresponsible risks isn't a crime either.

3) No evidence of fraud. These agencies trusted the financial models and those models didn't work.

Fuckups aren't punished in our society the way intentional law breaking is.

Should be guillotine every founder whose company fails?
My understanding is that this entire discussion is in the context of sentencing, and that the defense's argument here is in that context.

If the defense had made the harm reduction argument in the context of the guilty/not-guilty question, that would be one thing. But in the sentencing phase, it seems appropriate to take into account the actual harm of the crimes involved.

When the prosecution's answer to this discussion of harm is "it doesn't matter, it was illegal," that's when I get cranky.
> 1. misleading the American public into going to a series of costly wars through lies about WMDs -> not punishable

Debatable. The justice system hasn't found that, no charges have been filed within the justice system over them.

> Weakening Glass-Stegal and encouraging questionable and irresponsible risk-taking at major banking institutions -> not punishable

While again this is untested directly, the legislative privilege in the Constitution makes this pretty clearly not punishable through the justice system. The punishment that can be dealt out for this is at the ballot box, not through the justice system.

This is the key point. He is going to spend the rest of his life in prison, pretty much, for running a website. Not for hurting anyone, not for even threatening to kill anyone - those charges weren't a part of his conviction - but simply by enabling the exchange of drugs he apparently should be locked away forever.

Actually, considering something has nothing to do with being a sociopath. Neither does doing something. A lack of conscience is a hallmark of a sociopath. Killing someone does not make you a sociopath. Showing no signs of conscience over the killing points toward you being a sociopath.

He should have called it collateral damage. Isn't that the term preferred for killing people that get in your way, but is a legally sanctioned killing and not prosecutable?
Indeed, but it seems reasonable to me that they wouldn't need to make two systems for storing user information.
Dude, it's right at the very beginning of the exact page that he linked you. The fact that it says "murder-for-hire" with hyphens doesn't somehow make it not say "murder".

Now you continue to not have the legal right to buy illegal drugs.
> unfortunately there is no "killing for pay" in the document you linked either.

Actually the document uses the phrase "murder-for-hire".

Your word search probably failed because its an image scan and has no searchable text.

You actually need to read it. Which should be helped by the fact that where I linked it, I told you where in the document the murder-for-hire scheme was addressed.
Somehow, going through it in my head 10 times, I kept coming up with new reasons that's only 20 years. "1985, 1995, 2015, that's 20.."

I finally had to check with a calculator and that's when I realized I skipped 2005.

This same kind of thing happened to me on that clock problem. Why does this happen?
In addition to the murders for hire that the other commentators mentioned, the prosecution presented 6 case studies of people dying because of drug overdoses/other related effects of drugs bought on silk road. The prosecution also had two parents in two of these cases come to court to give a statement, one from Boston and one from Australia.

They aren't unnice neighborhoods because those living there have nothing to do. They're unnice neighborhoods because, while many of those living there do all they can, it isn't enough to make their lives worth living. So those who can't make their lives worth living make those who can have worse lives.

Disclaimer: I live in one of these neighborhoods. While I, personally, think we're closer to a post-scarcity society than we realize, I'm still surrounded by those who lack the privilege to think about such things. As such, they're kept awake at 2 AM because their neighbor is having a physiological reaction to whatever drugs he took that day and is storming around his complex, screaming and destroying things. Meanwhile, I'm a straight white male privileged enough to be living in a co-op, where we maintain a better standard of living and don't worry about such things on our property (at least, to some extent.)
This sentencing had nothing to do with the alleged hiring of a hitman. That accusation should have absolutely no bearing on this sentence.
This comment defines the middlebrow dismissal.

Unless you live in a jurisdiction where the purchase of narcotics is legal (Mars?) the meaning of "People have a right to buy drugs" is quite clear.

In a world where the laws you invoke are responsible for so much suffering and death, to come in with a "Well, legally" and pretend the moral dimension does not exist is... well, I've already said what that is.
If people are going to take drugs, somebody has to produce and distribute them. It doesn't make much sense to me that possession and consumption of drugs should be legal but manufacture and distribution shouldn't. Regulation would be nice, but the state is falling down on its duty there.
You provide one example of a single website out of millions that does not use a popup, and claim QED?

Yes, you're right. If you'll find pleasure in it, chrome did not find the word though. Thanks.
If by "proof" you mean "evidence", there are journal entries from DPR's laptop describing the attempted killings, records of messages between him and the would-be killer, and Bitcoin transaction records of the sizable payments involved. It certainly wasn't invented by the media.

It's right there on page 3 ("II. Background A. The Murder-For-Hire Evidence") and continues for quite some length. I'm not a lawyer and haven't been following the case, but if he was convicted of what the government alleges in this section it pretty much eliminates the "non-violent" argument.

We ran a test of info-gathering popups on one of my sites a little while back. We split tested using various triggers.

popup after 5 seconds:

- 73.5% left the page without closing the popup.

popup after 10 seconds:

- 75.8% left the page without closing the popup.

popup triggered when the user scrolled near the bottom of the page:

- 21.5% left the page without closing the popup.

The scroll trigger was pretty useless though because only 2.6% of users scrolled low enough to trigger it.

> My theory is that most people don't care about DRM the same way you do

It's a common practice for many crowdfunded projects to pitch for more backers by stating that release is DRM-free. You can see people commenting about it, if it's not stated (and projects clarifying this point).

Take a look at fiasco with Veronica Mars crowdfunded film which was released with DRM. Backers of the film said all they thought about this failure. Interest in DRM-free releases was expressed very clearly there. If anything, crowdfunding is a major driver in putting an end to approach of the sick-minded publishers obsessed with DRM.

> In all seriousness, how much do you care for art?

As much as I'm interested in something. If I see a project that's interesting to me, I consider supporting it on condition that it doesn't plan to use such unethical garbage as DRM in result. How much would I invest in it? That depends on the project. I don't do it out of having unlimited funds. Not at all - my funds are pretty limited. I do it because I care for those projects and without my support they are less likely to be created. I don't see how exclusivity fits into this. It doesn't mean I'm against perks - if someone wants to invest more, it's OK if they get more rewards. But DRM is not something that should be added as a distinguishing factor to anything. Because it shouldn't exist to begin with. Would you support the project which says that if you pay more, they'll give ecological wrap for you, but for the rest they'll ship the product in poisonous package?

Another reason to support some projects is to demonstrate demand. For instance, I would support games which are released for Linux (if I'm interested in them too), but won't support those which don't plan a Linux release.

For instance, Underworld Ascendant added Linux support to the base goal after getting feedback about it. As you can see, this also reduces exclusivity - it's inclusive, because more users are reached when release is cross platform. DRM-free release is similar in this sense.
Maybe I've watched Scarface one too many times, but I think the reason leaders of traditional drug distribution networks get life sentences is because they frequently resort to brutally violent means of running and defending their drug operations. Because they hold the supply of drugs rather than simply being a two-sided marketplace like the Silk Road, they have to physically defend that supply and the locations which house it (from rival organizations, the Police, etc). In a way, not only were the drugs being sold on the Silk Road safer, but the process of selling drugs was probably safer.

EDIT: This argument would probably hold up a lot better if Ulbricht hadn't tried to have people killed. sigh
What about Abraxas, BlackBank, Agora, KISS, Outlaw, East India Company, Babylon, Oxygen, The Real Deal, Bloomsfield, and The Crypto Market?
Right, so then... pay for Slack. Leaving negative comments about such a general "problem" with open source software isn't really productive or warranted, I think.

It's not the open source project's job to make themselves appealing to you, you're just looking to use and use and not give back.

Also, the benefits (intrinsic or otherwise) of open source is a completely different discussion (that people have by and large already had).
Ask HN: Why can't I sit down and watch YouTube at night? Has Google failed?
So Google bought Youtube years ago and it's wildly successful.

But even with all that content how come I can't sit down in front of Youtube on my TV and be entertained for the night? (I use the Xbox Youtube app).
> That's very unlikely to work, now what?

Try harder, like by working to convince the public that such a right should exist, so that other people join you in your effort to convince Congress to change the law.
The people supposedly "murdered" never existed... the names did not belong to real people, nor did the photo id's match anyone of record, etc. It's a rumor that they were Fed baiting him... and likely why the Fed never tried to charge him on the murder-for-hire counts.
Twitter and Facebook also have similar solutions. Have they been shut down too?
Oh totally. I think it would be a bad thing overall, but that doesn't mean it won't happen. If you have enough capital in a relatively small number of private entities, perhaps they will find it to their advantage to compromise a little on clarity, in exchange for more control or less regulation.

Overall, I suspect a shadow market would be a bad thing, but it's hard to argue that for the moment there isn't something like a shadow market in silicon valley. I don't think it's a sustainable one, and it certainly is opaque (what's in those term sheets?), I'm just thinking of whether something similar could exist in a more permanent form.
From ArsTechinca: "Prosecutors' allegations that Ulbricht tried to arrange several murders-for-hire also came up at trial, but he was not charged for them in this case. Instead, one of those six accusations is pending in Maryland."
You seem to suggest that silkroad was an innocent market place that was used for drug trafficking without the knowledge of its creator...

You are unlikely to read this at this point, but I was going through my old comments and just saw your reply.

>>seems super easy to use

Did you try sketchup?
Very glad to see this. I've used type-safe templates in Haskell, and I've been hoping to see something similar in Rust. It looks like Maud has good defaults as well, such as escaping HTML by default.

I wonder if it would make sense to have splicing of previously created Maud values not escape them. That seems like the most common case where you'd end up using $$ otherwise: piecemeal generation of HTML fragments. Since Maud has a special type to represent the result of a template, it could recognize that type in a splice.

Also, the need to handle control structures inline (such as $if and $for) seems like it could be replaced with a mechanism to splice in arbitrary Rust code of the appropriate type. Because otherwise, Maud would need to handle things like $match.

Props for the name and documentation as well.

The real lesson should be don't serious commit crimes. I don't know any organization that has never had a security fuck up.
Thanks for the response munirusman. We are also thinking Option 2 but were a little concerned if developers would find the tiered model a little confusing. We didn't want this to become a barrier to them signing up. But I suppose it all depends on how well we explain the pricing to end users.
Acknowledging the Tower of Babel
So he gets life for starting and operating a shady business that was "terribly destructive to our social fabric" and "lowered the barriers to obtaining illegal [goods and services]".

Great. Now that we have a solid benchmark for the minimum level of criminality possible to get a lifetime imprisonment sentence, we can finally start prosecuting those responsible for the financial fraud that caused the last recession. It was pretty destructive to our social fabric. There was a lot of bar-lowering going on, too.

Right?

Hello?

Anyone?

[mic goes dead, and house lights shut off]

I guess I'll just go home, then.

In light of the differential between the outcomes of prosecutions of highly publicized crimes, I think perhaps he was convicted for "failing to pay the minimum campaign contributions tax and lobbying tax on filthy lucre" and also got the mandatory minimum sentence for "we need to make a really big example of this guy because we are totally unprepared to handle anyone smarter and more cautious than him", with just a little shot of "X on the Internet is a thousand times worse than X in person".
specious argumentation. nobody cares about 'software' one way or the other. SR was a 'service' that broke many, many laws.
This. Was about to respond with a comment like this, but I think it's just better not to devolve into that argument (which has definitely been done before, countless times).

When Slack doesn't have some feature you need, what do you do? switch? pay some other company? develop it yourself? both positions have tradeoffs.

But by all means, if you don't have time to contribute to open source, then... don't, and buy the pre-packaged service -- I'm glad people think this way because it makes it easy for SaaS startups to profit -- which moves the industry forward anyway.
His entire comment is about being unable to make a decision because he lacks all the evidence. If that's judgement its of the most benign sort.
Ok thanks. Where is the text where he is actually sentenced for it?
What is really interesting about this transcript is the people are named in full, with some addresses and other details (married, etc.) The hits, I'm assuming, were fake because the contact was undercover, but what happened with the targets? Did the one threatening him have to play along and no longer send the threatening e-mails once the undercover told him the job was done? Were they prosecuted in any way?
> Yes, but was he sentenced for it?

Yes, it was a factor in his sentencing (the whole debate about whether or not it was charged was because it was included as a factor in the proposed calculation for sentencing.)
