Yes, but it's not really useful as jewelry, just admired. People can admire large numbers with interesting cryptographic properties too, so I don't think this is something you can use to separate Bitcoin from gold.

> Bitcoin is not competing with gold, it's basically competing with "I owe you" notes, managed by some central entity. You could argue that those "I owe you" notes have value, but maybe so does distributed transactions.

As I said, it would take too long to fully explain why Bitcoins have less value than dollars and euros (of course last year, EUR/USD was 1.35, today it's 1.09, but the problems of Greece etc. are a little tangential...) Dollars had no inherent value in 1970 - you could trade dollars for gold, but it was still just a promissory note - I'd rather have an ounce of gold in my hand than a note promising me an ounce of gold.

What does the phrase "gold reserve" mean ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gold_reserve )? The USA golds 8000 tons of gold in Fort Knox (and in NYC's Federal Reserve building). Why? Why does it do this? It must cost a lot to hold all that gold. The reason it does is because that gold implicitly (but not explicitly) backs the US dollar. If the dollar began crashing tomorrow, Obama could go on TV and say he was opening the vaults of Fort Knox and would exchange dollars for gold. Gold doesn't have any special properties, it's just convenient to use a currency, any commodity trade would do.

Even with economic dips, people don't think about the things underlying economic confidence in the face of potential collapse - but governments do think about these long term things, and major changes in policy always indicate changes in thinking ( http://www.nytimes.com/2013/01/17/business/global/german-cen... ).

>>A single pot plant can slurp as much as 22.7 liters—just less than 6 gallons—of water per day.

I've seen that number several times now, but it seems ridiculously high. I asked several legal growers some of whom grow outdoors (not hard to find in Colorado), none of whom thought that was a plausible number.

So, does anyone have a an reference for that number? I mean, other than popular news articles just repeating it from elsewhere in the echo chamber.

> If my origin is overloaded, down, or throwing intermittent errors, I want the CDN to cover for this.

Sure, that is another configuration available by many CDNs as well.

Many CDNs however suggest that your origin is contacted by nobody except the CDN itself (not true for CloudFlare, though). It can then perfectly replicate your origin's content as it is updated without overbearing your origin.

To bump my response to this (it's at risk of being lost in the chain below): To clarify, I'm suggesting that we need to walk before we can run. I absolutely agree that many individuals without a degree far surpass companies' hiring needs, but our initial focus is entirely on providing a diverse pipeline of talented candidates who fit the criteria our partners are currently seeking. As we continue to demonstrate this value, I HOPE we find ourselves in a position to influence the traditional pipelines that companies turn to for talent.

Read about your product in WIRED and became very interested in the agronomical potential it might have when developed further. Do you have any plans to contact some local communities or areas in less-developed countries, which can't produce a lot of nutritious food locally, but would love to do so? The Smart Farm looks perfect for that. Also, the mini-version seems to be a perfect solution for people in very urbanised areas, who would like to eat more healthily, but don't have the time to go to a local marketplace or don't get a lot of sunlight coming through their windows.
How is that? The way I see it, liberals consider both GMOs and global warming large problems that must be dealt with or fixed. Conservatives tend to not agree with the assessment that either is really a legitimate problem.

Hey there - we appreciate you expressing your concern. This is absolutely something we're keenly aware of. By restricting our initial target user base, we're putting ourselves in a position to do this one thing REALLY well. We want to one day do much more than that (i.e. we believe as strongly as you do that a college education, or lack thereof, is NOT a signal of one's professional value or ability to contribute). We're humbled by the possibility that we can influence the funnels that companies turn to to hire; this is step one.
I understand your confusion, but during my studies I learned different language and I was rushing to catch up with other students. I feel like, I learned more during my self studies than college.

Um, are the people she was affecting by doing that, actually the same that did the non-courteous laying-off 10 years ago? (or even perhaps/possibly deserving by continuing some status quo?)

I read somewhere[1] that magazine publishers are aware of this -- that people who will pay anything at all are much better than those who read free magazines -- and try to straddle the difference by charging something while also having a zillion opportunities to get a highly discounted subscription.

This is absolutely right. While there are unquestionably fewer black, hispanic / latino, and native american individuals with STEM backgrounds (another problem that needs to be solved at an educational level) there is still an uphill battle to be climbed even for individuals who DO possess the necessary skills and experience.

Hiring systems, especially in tech, are largely based on referral models and the "who do you know who can do X?" approach. Despite the many benefits of this approach, one danger is that it often inadvertently leaves underrepresented ethnic groups on the sidelines.

Having the skill set is not always enough.
The article mentions screenshots as a means of DRM circumvention.

Sure, but this is why individual calls for DRM in individual components (e.g. "just in certain websites") are disastrous. They combine to make profoundly anti-user systems.

Once you have DRM in JPEGs, browsers, monitors, video cards etc. you can achieve full-stack lockout.
while i don't agree with your characterization of Ulbrict, Don Lancaster seems like an interesting thinker. Checked out his website earlier and I am now planning on checking out The Incredible Secret Money Machine. Do you have any recommendations for books/essays of his that are not technical manuals? Is this book worth a read/relevant as it was penned in the 70s/80s?

+1 Thanks.
There are many talented individuals working across a range of industries, but the reality is that in industries where hiring is very referral-based, such as tech, these talented individuals would not know where to reach out in their networks to have access to the many promising tech opportunities. Our value add is to give these talented individuals access and exposure to opportunities that they did not have before.

If you read Patrick's bio on their web page he explicitly likens managing an mmorpg gruop to management.

I suspect they would view the evolution of that sort of culture as hugely successful & the incentives are setup such that they capture and try to place those people who are leading those groups. CTO placement also pays out at a pretty good rate I imagine...
It's a nice list of items, but I don't feel like it's informed from actual penetration tests on Go apps. Bad Content-Type headers and DNS rebinding affect almost every Go web application out there.

Any naked Go server is usually vulnerable to DNS rebinding because it doesn't test the Host header.

I should probably make an absolute accusation, then:

Canonical's IP policy was in direct conflict with the GPL. Canonical were distributing GPLed works that I hold copyright on. Canonical refused to discuss the issue with me. Eventually I talked to the FSF and discovered that I was not the first person to raise concerns about this. It's difficult to square the idea that Canonical is an open-source friendly company with its behaviour towards the people who wrote the software they depend upon.

What's the use value of a dollar bill? To wipe one's ass? To place into a wallet to make it bulkier? No: to store for later exchange for goods and services. And so with Bitcoin. And that doesn't even get into colored coins/smart property and the myriad of other uses that have been thought. It's hard to accept your assertion "Bitcoins have no inherit use after purchase."
This will raise a bunch of false positive, ruining the experience for legitimate users. I think you're better off focusing on increasing revenues by growing your user base instead of alienating existing ones.
IIRC, the problem was that for WeWork to be able to serve beer, they would have had to get a liquor license as a "private club". That aren't as onerous as full liquor licenses, but they do require you keep a membership roster (easy) with photos of each member (eh) and not admit non-members (no-go).

I might be thinking of something else entirely, though. Honestly, I prefer Cove. Free coffee and soda/seltzer, plus a more professional crowd. It's clean and open, but not trendy and overbaked. Plus, it's like half the price.

Honestly speaking, "colour" cameras we use every day are also false colour; they shoot 3 monochrome images in red, blue and green chunks of spectrum and mix the whole thing using plethora of parameters like white balance, or gamma.
All this is heavily tuned towards human vision specifics to enable either monitor or print to induce a similar sensation in the viewer's brain that the photographed object would, despite the fact that the whole process retains only a negligible fraction of the information carried into the camera by the original photons. Quite a lot of animals perceive the hue of human-made photos and videos as totally odd, misexposed or desaturated, just because of having vision adapted to wavelengths or other properties of light which our processing mostly removes as redundant. Even more, one day humans may start to enrich their vision by technological or biological modifications, consequently beginning to perceive today photos as as dull as we see those old, monochrome ones.

Three Dead Protocols
That still leaves the ambiguity. The header for "Enter your address" should be larger/emphasized. Changing the example address doesn't make it more obvious if I enter my address or theirs.

E:

Sometimes I wonder why I am downvoted - or if I have a particular unhappy person following my posts. So I'll clarify my reasoning:

A small, easily missed header that is separated from the form is all that tells me to enter my address. Changing the example address doesn't magically fix the UX problem of "my address or the reps?" because the only prompt to enter your address is a small header that doesn't attract my attention that isn't located in the forms' area of attention. Adding a header to the form clears this ambiguity.

Placeholder text shows formatting. Whether it is 1600 Penn Ave or 1234 Example Street doesn't help remove ambiguity of "my address or the reps address?"

Look at their home page. Then look at my image [0]. I hope I'm explaining the problem well enough.

It is scenarios like this that make me unhappy with net neutrality principles that suggest all packets are equal.

We are still very early in the age of the Internet. People are sending all sorts of trashy traffic. There is ample opportunity to optimize but net neutrality means we have to treat it all the same. It's nuts.
But this part is the silly anti-NAT behaviour, most likely ICE, right? It has a questionable idea of finding all local IPs, so you can enjoy the benefit of your RTP getting sent over VPN channels and whatnot. And it's been proposed by parties other than just Google.

Or they could just use upnp like everyone else and enjoy a decent P2P connectivity rate without exposing your private IPs and making you fingerprintable.

More concerning, though, is that this stuff isn't triggering a permission dialog in Firefox.

Partition functions are usually hard to compute as they require a sum or integral over the entire parameter space. In this case, it's "Z is a normalizing constant, that is: it's the sum of the values of all possible assignments."

So perhaps sum_x { exp( sum_i { w[i] * g[i](x) } ) }

If you want to hide the IP you're connecting from, and you want to use IPv6, then you have to find an IPv6-enabled VPN (or make one yourself with a cheap vps).

The major use case for webrtc ip leak blocking is preventing leaking of rfc1918 IPs (or link/site-local IPv6 addresses) and preventing leaking of alternate LAN and alternate public IPs.

For example, if you web browse through a VPN, this webrtc functionality will by default reveal not only your public VPN exit IP, but also your VPN rfc1918 ip, and also your real rfc1918 ip, and your primary, non-vpn public IP. All in the name of better connectivity for webrtc. It's horrible.

I don't understand why webrtc does this. How does revealing non-global addresses help improve (edit: reliably improve) connectivity? Those addresses aren't guaranteed to be globally unique, so if you have two webrtc app users on the same non-global netblock, so what? Even if they have the same public IP, it's not guaranteed that they can talk to each other with their non-global addresses; they could be on different (isolated) internal networks. So the app will be blindly trying to connect to random internal ip addresses. Sounds fun for NIDS.

When you visudo, you are subjecting vim to (1) your chosen input and (2) the contents of sudoers. If you are malicious, you could choose your input to be ":!", which gives you a root shell. If the contents of sudoers are malicious, they can give root access to whoever they want. So visudo is not a particularly dangerous scenario.

Of course, it's possible that some aspect of vim will, say, create a temp file insecurely as root, or read random shit out of /proc, or what have you, and be exploitable. But the historical security problems in vim (and there have been several!) have mostly had to do with editing maliciously-composed files with it.
