Outside of finance, there are very few realistic use cases. Too many ideas focus on one or two features of a blockchain, distributed architecture and "secure". Often ignoring things like 51%, plain text data, or potential size of the blockchain itself. To be useful, a blockchain can only be successful when there's a tangible value in sharing the data. You can see a use case I put together here.
I often point out that a blockchain is WORM storage. Once data is written, it's there forever. In finance, every transaction is important to calculate the current balance. This leaves very few data sets where a value set today will be useful in 10 or 20 years. Even less, where it's valuable for others to access that data. But provenance is one of those data sets.
Tracking commodities, consumables, or other disposable data with a blockchain is foolish. Nobody will care about the ________ of their coffee after it's been brewed.
Having contributed a hundred searches in the last week, it's another BAD metric claiming how popular python is. Last time, it was that python had the most questions on Stack Overflow.
When a search does not answer a question, when Stack Overflow does not have the answer, it does not mean python is popular. It indicates that python is the most frustrating!
I spent hours trying to get python to use syslog. Any may other languages it's simply syslog(). To do it with python, search for it yourself. You'll find a dozen ways to do it, but which will work for you?
Carolyn Meadows of the National Rifle Association (NRA), who is also and member of the American Conservative Union (ACU), gave the ACU's Charlton Heston Courage Under Fire Award to Ajit Pai.
The reason that Japan does it this way is, the Telecom monopoly breakup occurred AFTER the internet. The incumbent (NTT) had already built internet infrastructure, later it was forced (through deregulation) to provide ISP's with competitive access. AND the rules made it so "the infrastructure owner isn't allowed to run it's own ISP".
This model will not work in the USA, because the rules keep that coveted 'last mile' in private hands. Phone companies in the USA were forced (through deregulation) to provide competitive access to the old copper infrastructure, but the rules were too narrow. Only the copper infrastructure. So the BIG telephone companies have been removing that copper and replacing it with fiber. Eliminating competitive access to the last mile, since the deregulation rules do not apply to the fiber.
Sure, but which source of data presents an 'more' accurate picture of a programming languages popularity?
The percentage and growth of: a. Developers asking how to do {x} in programming language {y}? b. The number of unique public repositories using programming language {y} on a site like Github, Bitbucket, etc?
Traffic to Stack Overflow is an indication of people having issues with Python. Not it's popularity! Traffic for high-income countries (US/UK) is misleading, since they are using this troublesome language more often. Non-English speaking countries don't want to use it, due to the default ASCII character set.
Seems the researches need to understand how Stack Overflow is used before making such a misleading statement. A higher score on Stack Overflow Trends would indicate the inadequacies of the language. More visits indicate the level of frustration, not the languages popularity.
I work in a multi-language environment. My Win7 instance does NOT even use the selected language consistently. Plus to use a different language involves installation of the language pack for every application.
The interface language for Apple products have been rock solid, can even switch the language on the fly. Occasionally need to log out and log in again, no reboot required.
It's important to understand that the Open Source Community is NOT a pool of developers looking to contribute to ANY open source project. It's not even a single community. It's more along the lines of where every project is a Nation State, each with it's own form of government.
Every software project starts with a need to solve a problem.
Commercial software identifies the potential market share, committing time and resources to solve that problem. OSS projects typically start with an individual creating a solution without those considerations, solving the problem for their own use, to solve their own problem.
Most OSS projects are only used by the original creator, many have a handful of adopters, and a few become large collaborative efforts. These large collaborative effort are mistakenly considered to be "the" Open Source Community. They are just a part of it.
In reality, the Open Source Community is only built around a single fundamental belief. That releasing the source code of a project to the public MAY be useful to others.
Other than a single shared ideal, each Nation State adopts it's own constitution. The Open Source License. Which creates different factions, without any central Open Source Community body.
However, the EFF could be probably considered the equivalent of the United Nations General Counsel. But that's just a generalization.
With that said, you DO NOT reach out to every country in the World to request someone comes to your neighborhood and clean the streets. You may get a few polite responses, many will ignore you, and others will simply tell you to 'fuck off'. As you can see in the comments here.
There are only a handful of ways to properly handle your problem.
1. Pick up a broom and do it yourself. 2. Borrow a broom and do it yourself. 3. Hire someone to do it. 4. Reach out the sanitation department in YOUR community.
Most of these options were already covered. Do it yourself, acquire the skill to do it yourself, hire someone, or find a project or developer that already works with HLSL/GLSL/Cg/SweetFX.
Your project ONLY becomes part of a community when you're out there sweeping by yourself and neighbors come out with their own brooms and help.
While this is not the best method, it does add complexity to mix.
Basically, do not keep a single key on your storage medium. CD-R, USB, even your HDD.
Generate thousands, hundreds of thousands, even millions of keys. Making your key, a needle in the haystack.
0000.key ~ 9999.key is easy to find, as secure as an ATM PIN. Maybe
Depends if the encryption method raises an error when the wrong key is used.
Of course you could leave some decoy encrypted data with your keys, too.

The maker of a serious AV for *nix (grin) wouldn't call a.exe an executable file. Calling it an 'executable binary' named.exe would lend these fear-mongers a little more credibility.
On the loaded OS, run a full scan of all disk partitions using the Dr.Web Anti-virus for Linux.
How about 'kill -9 PID'
BTW: Anyone notice it also 'downloads the/tmp/ccXXXXXX.exe executable file from the server, saves it to the temporary folder and runs it.'
Don't think drweb knows enough about *nix to even explain what it does.
Yeah, it discusses a strange experiment, assuming everyone understands the details.
Basically, it's a democratic attempt to enter commands into the CLI.
With the end goal of installing the Arch Linux OS.
Because the most popular command entered, wins. The experiment was hijacked by someone using a botnet, resulting in a majority.
Nothing malicious, most likely a prank. Since the hijack was installing an alternative distro (Gentoo).

I live in Tokyo and have a basic understand why there is no housing shortage here.
It's because land value is not market driven. It's a fixed value, set by government appraisal.
This prevents property values from spiraling out-of-control.
Higher land value, results in higher taxes. Higher taxes, results in higher rent.
Market driven land values and land speculation will ONLY continue to drive costs higher.
In Japan, the value of a property is based on the fixed land value + the value of the structure.
In Tokyo (the city) land value is higher than other parts of the country. The higher taxes drive construction of multi-tenent structures, to spread out the tax burden.
According to the article, "When both hit the resonator at the same time, both of them together experience a phase shift by 180 degrees."
