I'm having a job thinking of any of the "surprising number of viable business models which involve undercutting the incumbents for payment services." Outside of fintech I can think of companies using LVLT's fiber network and not paying much. Also travel companies booking off peak hotel rooms and paying enough to cover maid service etc but not the cost of building the hotel. Both of those happen where there is an excess of capacity in a competitive industry. When things turn and there is a shortage, hotels and the like can jack their prices.
The link to play the game still works, though. I'm guessing the video was just promotional material, so I'm not flagging like I normally would for a page with broken content.

Short of banning math, how exactly can you prevent people from using strong encryption?

Even assuming the government can convince a lot of big corporations to put backdoors in their products, tech literate people will just use niche open source encryption for their own communications. Terrorists, or people that want to do evil, will switch to using secure channels - so the only people you will be able to monitor via sig-int will be average people that are not particularly tech literate. That doesn't seem like such a huge gain to me.
So build attention span by reading books for a book club? That's all I got.

A particularly profitable bug when one happens to visit those space stations that also sell antimatter. Deploy a navbeacon in the area, and unless I'm missing something (only played about twenty minutes so far, reader beware), the risk of depleting all one's energy should then be zero.
Anyone know what protocol (RDP, VNC, h264, ???) is underlying the Steam remote display?
Gracefully. His concern is that participating in the good parts of Reddit makes him an enabler, because Reddit has some incentive to nurture racist hate groups. Were Reddit truly decentralized, managed by a network of infrastructure providers (like Usenet was), there would still be hate groups, but the incentives would be different (and muted).
I feel the same way, but spam didn't kill Usenet, binaries did.
One opinion I've see is that they use third party sellers to identify valuable product niches to get into. I've read many accounts of Amazon launching their own version of a product and sometimes going as far as suspending or ejecting the seller or sellers with the product that inspired them.

My guess is that there are too many sellers making money on Amazon who take the abuse. To speak up would mean to risk losing your business. So people don't. I see one massive class action lawsuit in the making.

The other Amazon scam has to do with sales tax. Rather than collecting sales tax on every sale they've somehow managed to pass this on to third party sellers. It's as if Walmart had their suppliers become responsible for collecting and paying sales tax at every Walmart location. Which makes no sense.

Amazon should collect and pay sales taxes in every state where they have a warehouse. States are getting cheated out of tax revenue because Amazon plays lose with this and sellers have no clue they are tasked with collecting taxes. A secondary effect is that sellers get into massive trouble with authorities because Amazon doesn't collect taxes for them and does not submit the funds to the sellers. When sellers discover they were made responsible for sales tax they often end-up with a huge bill that nearly ruins them.

Your comment has made me realize just how easy it is for people to misunderstand each other, due to attaching different meanings to words. Of course "unique" means "distinctive" to most people. I had just managed to completely forget about it, and assumed that everyone shared the computer science meaning of "unique".

I wonder how many arguments ultimately boil down to this kind of misunderstandings over words. And it doesn't help that marketers will happily use loaded words like "unique" to create hype.

Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-Rhode Island) was first elected in 2006, meaning he is up for re-election in November 2018. In 2012, he was the only candidate for the Democratic party and then beat his Republican opponent 64.81% to 34.97%. [1]

Who among you would be willing to allocate volunteer-hours to help a civil-libertarian Democrat running to unseat him in 2018? Who among you would be willing to lead such a team? If politicians spend hours upon hours raising money that they can use to pay campaign workers, how would they feel knowing that an opponent has such a team already?

Surely freedom of speech is enshrined in the Constitution because free exchange of ideas is valuable. When you say that only the government should respect this ideal and allow for exchange of ideas, I don't see how you can say you value free speech much at all. "It shouldn't be illegal" has to be about the smallest value you can give something.

>Note that we only need one LED for the inductive coil since there is a loop though the coils, so the electrons can keep going around and around in the same direction and never get trapped.
Nonsense.
The current in the secondary coil is caused the changing the magnetic field. This cannot keep changing indefinitely in the same direction so the current in the primary that generates the magnetic field must be alternating and then so will the current in the secondary.
The article did not tell me anything I did not know, and it is most assuredly 'pop psychology'. They did link to the recent study which pointed out even those considered "psychopaths" (anti-social personality disorder) actually are not entirely devoid of the capacity of empathy. As this is a recent study, I won't save people the time to link to it, you should figure this stuff out on your own. But, you should also already know of it, and have recognized it immediately. If you have been doing your homework in this area.

If you had not already heard of that study, then you should self-assess your self: why am I looking into this area? What motivates me? Am I truly 'doing my homework', or am I just like a tumbleweed, going from article to article, looking for more which confirms my already pre-existing biases?

I will give this link: the Psycopath Test, by Jon Ronson.

That is, also, enough to spend two seconds to google.

If you really, truly believe in the psychopathy label, then I would strongly encourage you folks who do so to challenge your beliefs" by reading that book. Ronson has a few books out there, and they are all excellent for challenging common conceptions on murky material.

I am not saying the article was not generally true. Fact is, it is. But, you can know that it is a myth merely because it is not even in the DSM. As this article points out, nor is anything even like it. It does not point out many important, related matters, however. Like the general public should not even be taking such labels - even if they were in the DSM - and going about doing their own diagnosis of others. And, if they are... why* are they doing this?

If you do not know why you are doing this, then isn't that a little more of a pressing mystery to solve... then playing doctor on people who are not even your patents, and whom you probably know little to nothing about?

My own interest in this thread, btw, is 'why do otherwise reasonable people believe truly unreasonable things', and 'why do otherwise intelligent people who have strict standards they say they adhere to, not actually use those standards and flagrantly so'.

That is very interesting, because it can tell you a lot about your own way of taking in information and help you find errors others have you, your own self, might also have.
I think GitHub needs a "+1" button for issues. It'll give maintainers some insight as to what priority to give an issue, without spamming them with e-mails. Asking users not to comment with comments such as "+1", or even turning off comments, hides this information.

This will solve the issue partly.
Perhaps he did not know, but I find that a lot of developers, especially those not using GUIs, end up using -m every single time and writing poor commit messages. With Magit, at least in my experience, you are more inclined to write better commits.

If you give developers a "lazy" option, a lot will default to it, which isn't ideal. -m is an alternative for a quick commit and end up being front and center when using the CLI.
> Both companies had successful crowdfunding campaigns but neither is shipping a product yet.

That sounds like you might have to refund some or all of your contributors. After the acquisition, your project will cease to exist. It's unlikely that both crowdfunding promises were exactly the same. Even if the intention is to fold your product into theirs, the realistic outcome is that your employers will ship the product as they intended, leaving your supporters with little to nothing. You need to clean this up now, rather than later.
Instead of a blanket criticism, perhaps you'd like to suggest some alternatives that:

- Have simple, pseudocode-ish syntax

- Are useful for exploratory programming with good speed of development

- Have a comparable amount of high quality libraries available along with tooling for their installation and management (standard and third part)

- Have large talent pools available with experience ranging from fresh graduates to grizzled veterans, and backgrounds ranging from science and statistics to journalism to finance

In junior school I had a friend who was considered a little weird. One day during break I came across him repeatedly hitting his head against a wooden wall. He wasn't doing it especially hard - but I was certain it was hurting him. When I asked him why he was hitting his head against the wall he said, "It feels good when I stop".

This author is basically the drug addict version of my junior school friend. They're both idiots - but one was 8 and the other is a respected author.
So many less painful ways of reaching this mental state with greater clarity. But if it works for him, then cool I guess.
Historical reasons, possibly? FORTRAN was started by an IBM committee (US corporation). COBOL committee was mostly US companies and US Dept. of Defense (CODASYL). Lisp came from MIT. ALGOL is the exception, with both European (ETH Zurich) and US representation on its committee.
Well, anywhere from full power to zero, if you design a chip that can flush its state to persistent storage and go dark. x86 chips exemplify this wide range, with many power states all the way from full power to shutting off the entire package.
I suppose you could use the same argument for rolling stone, but frankly it doesn't matter. Look at the UVA rape case from earlier this year (covered widely). The RFK piece on vaccination was published originall in rolling stone. The hagiographic prose the NYT writes about the author (kennedy) and the editorial selection of the piece by rolling stone lend these ideas credibility regardless of the flaws in the articles. Again, look at the UVA rape article earlier this year (published: rolling stone) and see how much coverage it got in NYT, WaPo, LaTimes etc. Its worth noting That WaPo debunked alot of the Rolling stone reportage ultimately, but that just goes to show that not all newsrooms are single minded/purpose entities.

Lastly, if you look up (and read) the footnotes in my earlier not, you'll se that there is a clear link between the academic critique of 'journalistic integrity' and the anti-vaccination example, insofar as 'false balance' is a well defined sub-topic of that debate. Under the Wikipedia article for that...you notice (rightly or wrongly) that of the examples given, the anti-vaccination quakery (eg, kennedy in rollin stone etc) is a "well worn" example.

In other words, a commenter making reference to this is not making any novel or original argument that needs "footnotes". Footnotes are useful when there is a more subtle point, a nuance or something that is not obvious. Footnotes are less called for here, as a simple google search will attest.
Ouch, this is clearly meant to be (at least somewhat) tongue-in-cheek. Calling it "drug abuse" is a little extreme unless you're familiar personally with the author.

It doesn't seem like it's affecting his life in an incredibly detrimental way, supposing that at some point when the hoopla of a book release dies down he stops drinking every night (and even then, the quantity consumed is an incredibly important component).

It's just jokes.
There's been a few times in my life where I reset myself by going on a bender. I've only done it a few times but beforehand I was in a rut - stuck motivationally, mentally exhausted, and after the bender feeling like my mind has been reset.

Sure the hangover sucked, but even with the hangover I could feel my brain being back to its normal energetic self including gaining the perspective of an outside observor that he mention in the article, making my problems less important.

I think some people do this through meditation, some through legal pharmaceuticals, and some of us by getting completely blotto on alcohol.

Sorry, non-English speaker's comment below:

I was depressed for almost 10 years. It started in my sophomore year of college. Initially I would finish 3 hour programming assignments in 10-15 minutes and was the student representative of the CS department. I had a lot of friends, and was quite 'normal' I suppose. Then things started literally falling apart. I lost interest in my old hobbies, stopped talking to friends, kept failing classes, found no pleasure in anything. I asked my roommates to find another place and started living alone, and then decided to commit suicide by cutting my wrists in the bathtub with a knife but pussied out when the blade touched my skin... Fuck, what a nightmare.

However, I somehow dragged my feet through this misery and managed to graduate (two years late and at the bottom of my class) and luckily bumped into an old friend who remembered how good I was with computers back in highschool. He was running his own company and offered me a (non-programming, IT) job. It was great at first but once again the depression started rearing its ugly head and I started slacking off at work, being late for appointments and isolating myself again.

I tried doing the things people seem to suggest online like exercising regularly (never could for more than a month), yoga, mindful meditation, but I would always relapse.

It took me 6-months to finally get the courage and see a psychiatrist. He diagnosed me with depression and anxiety and put me on lexapro. I could never imagine how much 10mg of something could change your life.

Within a few days I started seeing major changes in myself. It rekindled my interests in my hobbies (programming, gaming, reading etc.) my memory improved tremendously, I felt compassion towards my friends and family, much more social and became super efficient at work. Fast forward a year and I'm now CEO of my friends company and I've dealt with some personal tragedies on the way without relapsing. Things are holding up pretty well.

If you think you're depressed don't hesitate to seek help. If you notice someone falling apart for no reason and might be depressed, offer to accompany them to a psychiatrist and that you'll keep it confidential. (I wish I had gone sooner)
My view of what I want to be when I get old has changed over time. Both because a change in perspective at 20/30/40/50 and a changing definition of "old".

But some things are constant: I always want to be doing stuff, and leaving the world a better place than I found it. As much as I can be, be kind, help others. Some things I've done have had a huge impact, some have been small (time I spent on a telephone crisis line, or hell just picking up a piece of litter) but all made me glad I did them. Of course I am human and don't live up

Learn from your mistakes, especially ones that affect other people. You don't have to dwell on regret, but just try not to do them again.

Don't forget you are (probably) starting close to the goal. My parents and inlaws were children during terrible wars, and their respective countries (on three continents) were bombed, people put into camps, horrible things. They never dwelled on those things but it surely affected their outlooks on life. Me, I was lucky enough to have been born in a wealthy country at peace (Australia) and years ago moved to Silicon Valley. Basically by doing nothing I have always been better off than 98+% of the people who have ever lived (including when I was a kid and my mum had to make all our clothes, and my parents couldn't always afford to eat at the end of the week). So I figure I shouldn't waste the opportunity that, say, some of my relatives in other countries don't have.

And remember you get good at what you do: if you spend a lot of time playing video games, you'll be good at playing video games; if you spend a lot of time programming in Java you'll be good at programming in Java. Again: decide if what you're doing is what you really want to do -- and if it is, do it without regret.
This is definitely an interesting metric. It would be useful to look at this when deciding on using a dependency in a project.

I suspect that the Homebrew project is a little skewed because recipes are checked into the repository. Although these are technically source code, they aren't really part of the core of what is necessary to understand the code behind Homebrew's source.
>By the same logic, some people would say even if you haven't directly paid for an artwork, so long as you've acquired it legally you gain the same rights. For example, if you record a broadcast TV show onto VHS, fast-forwarding over the adverts is fine. And if a web page is delivered with adverts, not displaying them is fine.

>Likewise, if you can legally view a music video on youtube, a version that strips out the video and adverts to leave only the audio track is just a transformation - and therefore fine.

That doesn't make sense. The license terms between purchasing a CD and watching a YouTube video are completely different. Just because you watch a Taylor Swift video on YouTube, due to what is laid out in the license terms, you do not get a perpetual license to view that content forever. This is different from a CD. Now how they enforce it is a different manner (aka DRM), but the license terms are explicitly different from a CD.

I don't see this a matter of "agreeing", but something fundamental for licenses to work. By your same logic, I could also argue that I can download the source code to GNU GCC, strip out all the GPL "nonsense", because since I acquired it for free I "gain" the same right to do whatever I want.

You might argue that "well you can strip the GPL if you don't redistribute it", however that is not what is happening in Streamus' case. Streamus is technically redistributing music that was originally licensed to play on YouTube with a given set of conditions under a new set of conditions. And if you are going to subvert a license that makes you no different than what Apple tried to do with Taylor Swift.
This is a profoundly US-centric perspective. Consider Microsoft's efforts to isolate data in Irish servers from US jurisdiction. US providers have already lost substantial global business since Snowden's releases. If mandated lawful access could short circuit jurisdictional disputes, US providers would arguably lose far more global business.

Why do the author call it truck factor. Even the wikipedia link in the article calls it bus factor.
You are confusing an implication for an equivalence. I've said that those who are not open to arguments should not have a voice. From that it doesn't follow that those who argue should always be listened to.

I imagine a concrete implementation of this idea as a meme that people themselves would recognize this as a good rule and that they would consider it as a decision aid whether or not to participate in a certain group.
