krisiveson Tether Critical Announcement

Basically clicked it expecting to read what you're describing. I'm not "disappointed" but at the same time I feel the writing is on the wall. I still expect to read something like a MtGox in the next few weeks/months.

What they mean I think is that they have hard-forked their underlying blockchain technology (Omni in this case) and it has a Ethereum Classic style check in it not allowing a specific TX/wallet

krisiveson Nineteen people a week overdose in Richmond, dozens are dying, hundreds revived

I got up to get something to eat and the restaurant I wanted to eat at couldn't open because a group of heroin addicts outside sleeping on the steps refused to move until they were given food.

That was about 40 minutes ago.

krisiveson Nineteen people a week overdose in Richmond, dozens are dying, hundreds revived

Says sources discredit his point then provides sources that do neither.

krisiveson Nineteen people a week overdose in Richmond, dozens are dying, hundreds revived

It's as much of your choice to use a heroin needle as it is to buy an iPhone is my point.

krisiveson Nineteen people a week overdose in Richmond, dozens are dying, hundreds revived

For how long though? Having watched it first hand you can make whatever excuse you want for the first use, bad boyfriend, pharma industry, etc.

My sister has been on heroin for probably 8 years now. She will call and ask for money and if anyone says no she spouts this same bullshit about it's not her fault etc. and she's an addict. We send her to rehab, she runs away, can't even tell you how many times I've seen it.

Her 4 kids are taken away from her she doesn't even attempt to visit them in any capacity.

Look close enough at a heroin addict you'll find a regular shitty person underneath it.

krisiveson Nineteen people a week overdose in Richmond, dozens are dying, hundreds revived

My sister is a heroin addict I've encountered enough =)

Also I have lived in Salem, Oregon look up it's statistics.

Just because my heart doesn't bleed for people who wouldn't do shit to help you doesn't mean I don't understand the problem.

krisiveson Nineteen people a week overdose in Richmond, dozens are dying, hundreds revived

Makes the guy who brought up sources look stupid

krisiveson Nineteen people a week overdose in Richmond, dozens are dying, hundreds revived

That sounds like a really complicated issue without a clear solution and no benefit to whoever solves it.

By comparison I think it would be easier to make a self driving car or automated robot that does most of what a heroin addict does.

Sounds terrible don’t care I’m out of sympathy for addicts in society.

krisiveson Nineteen people a week overdose in Richmond, dozens are dying, hundreds revived

Can chose to not use heroin and other drugs - like most of society had informed you - and there is infinite amount of data available to anyone looking.

Talk to the leader of any emergency room staff and this is how it works in most cities.

Another reason to charge more for working in a big city, since smaller rural cities don’t have this problem as much - like the middle of nowhere in Montana versus Seattle.

Brings back memories of Larabee their last attempt at making a GPU before they scrapped the project and wasted everyone’s time.

krisiveson Ask HN: Why is Bitcoin rising but ethereum remaining stagnant?

Also some of the "ICO high" is wearing off as reality sets in (some ICOs are garbage) and regulation begins.

krisiveson Ask HN: Why is Bitcoin rising but ethereum remaining stagnant?

Last "real" price before forks and flipping started was around $2500.

krisiveson Ask HN: Why is Bitcoin rising but ethereum remaining stagnant?

Because BTC has had many changes in available supply. With BCH and 2X a lot of people that otherwise would happily hold their coins in cold storage have been "forced" into moving their coins around for "flippening" of the forked coins.

Also consider that a very large amount of coins was seized when BTC-E (corrupt exchange working with criminals) and AlphaBay (defunct darknet drug website) were shutdown around the same time. It's not just the capital that was seized (and is still be processed by many governments that co-operated) but also the flow of money that was interrupted.

krisiveson Tensorflow sucks

Like he tacks on at the end of the article, the reason most care about TensorFlow is because of TensorBoard making most of this a moot point. People would code while being hung upside down as long as they still get TensorBoard.

krisiveson Limit Internet access until your child makes progress on educational sites

Thank you for the feedback! We'll fix this

krisiveson Limit Internet access until your child makes progress on educational sites

To avoid bypassing we have a iOS app on the way their APIs allow for parental controls.

For Android you have to use a device that has support for restricted profiles.

We don't do anything undocumented to prevent bypassing and we have actually taken some bypass protection features out while we fine tune our UI and onboarding experience.

krisiveson Limit Internet access until your child makes progress on educational sites

We added a privacy policy:

https://dnslearning.org/privacy

The wording isn't perfect yet and we have to be careful how we say things, but we don't sell any data to a third party. We don't use Google Analytics either or anything like that.

We automatically delete the data after 30 days and we actually have this implemented so the user can decide how long they want data to be kept, but when I cleaned up the UI the ability for users to modify this setting got lost.
