I wonder if all the investors in wind turbines or for that matter conventional power plants have thought about that they are instantly out of business if they actually get this working.
The interesting part is he doubled the reward for every error found, and surprisingly he hasn't had to write cheques for much money the last time I checked.
If you're working for Oracle and coding the Oracle database and are looking for an algorithm to squeeze a bit more performance out of the engine, go ahead and buy the book, you might find something in there. But most programmers are using sets and dictionaries in their chosen programming language that has a decent implementation of algorithms and won't be helped by some algorithm which might squeeze a few more cycles out of the computer but nobody will reward you for. The Knuth book is for high fliers and hard core computer science projects, not for your average programmer.
As you say, if you were doing serious tax evasion you'd be stupid to use a US based exchange. But some people are stupid, thus the IRS is poking their head in.
Well.. can the IRS prove much if you are shoving money into and out of these accounts? All the actual bitcoin transactions I presume are beyond their knowledge, they will only find out the interface with real money, when you deposit and take out. Unless are claiming to be dirt poor with unexplained millions sloshing about this probably won't affect you.
Don't mix the time servers or cross the beams. It would be bad. Try to imagine all life as you know it stopping instantaneously and every molecule in your body exploding at the speed of light.Total protonic reversal! Important safety tip. Thanks, Google!
While what you're saying has some merit, with a 2 party system, the state issues are not really in view. Now if you also brought in preferential voting so that other parties could get a leg up, then maybe.
Oh come on, plenty of professionals don't need ethernet. Why would you? And while SOME professionals need ethernet and SOME photographers need SD cards and SOME people need HDMI, few people need all of them, and that's kind of the point. Get a dongle and dry your tears.
Manufacturer support? When I get an iPhone I know Apple will support it for at least 4 years, maybe more, and they've got the $$$ to pull off that promise. And my apps and data are highly likely to have a migration path to the next device. By contrast, the fact that something like 1% of Android users are on the latest version is an indication of the level of support from other vendors.
Don't get me wrong, I wish Android was better. In some ways it is better than IOS. But until the manufacturers support the product for whole of life and onto the next device, I am not diving in.
Well.. the UK is not a democracy. It's a parliamentary democracy. Ultimate power is the parliament, and there is basically nothing they can't legislate. Some have said the UK should get a written constitution, but it's hard to even see how it could legally come into being since a later parliament could repeal it.
It's hard to keep such a large project going and with direction when no-one is getting paid and no-one is in charge. If instead they copied osx, there'd be instant and clear direction, like the kernel, there'd be instant commercial software, there'd be little arguments in the mailing lists, and people wanting to contribute would have a clear blueprint of what to do.
He has a point. Why invest in productive assets when its value will decline due to lower demand? I can't see the current global economy working if we have to have lower population. Why invest in houses, factories or anything when tomorrow it will be cheaper to buy than today?
Communism didn't kill people, dictators killed people. Hitler wasn't communist. Napoleon wasn't communist. You're drawing a correlation that doesn't necessarily have causation.
Exactly, there is was no possibility that the "proper channels" would have done anything whatsoever. None. Zero. Snowden had the option of shutting the fuck up, or doing precisely what he did. Everyone who isn't completely naive and brain dead knows this.
IANAL, but this is a precedent that one of the biggest APIs in the history of the universe has been acquired en-masse and declared fair use. Maybe, just maybe, this is the end of the story.

Is it really a mere threat when he's the President of the United States and he actually goes and carries it out?

I call bullshit on $500 worth of attachments. Ethernet and SD dongles can be had for a buck on eBay.

Apple does not in any way, shape or form discourage apps from running on old versions.
"Parliament = House of Commons + House of Lords."
Wrong, Parliament = the Commons + Lords + QUEEN.

You mean after 40 years of OS updates they are only now doing this?!?!?!
I always wondered why Windows updates were so huge and bloated, and now I know.

And what exactly is a telecom grade router?
On any given day is there really $60 million worth waiting to exchange?

It's easier to maintain the illusion you're in a "society" when your country is small and mono-cultural. Hard to see this working everywhere.
In Soviet Russia everyone had a job and food on the table. Is it better that the average person be better off, or that everyone is doing ok?

I'm waiting for the electro-mechanical simulation of the computer simulation of the real world pong simulation of the computer game.
