It's Bitcoin or bitcoin.

Which, as it happens, nearly always is entwined with wealth and income inequality.
The ultra-rich get to have a megaphone for their agendas, ideologies and opinions, with a level of political influence none of us will likely ever come close to seeing.
Compact in-ear selective audio filtering. For example, block all noises except human voice.
Or a simple noise attenuation mode that can be controlled from a smartphone.
Sure GP's comment reads a tad hyperbolic. However, Mexico is certainly perceived to be fairly corrupt.
It appears in the bottom half of the 2014 Corruptions Perception Index (CPI), ranked at Rank 103 out of 174 countries.
Sure. Except I never said or meant to imply RBC's and platelets change on the same day. Part of the context of the comment, were my own tests.
So the question is, why wouldn't one want to remove as many confounding factors as possible?
However, if one is going to make comparisons, I think it's better to use the same draw of blood for both lab companies. Or at least within an hour of each other.
There are too many variables at play, and numbers can change between morning and afternoon even on the same day depending on the test.
Repeated tests and obtaining standard deviations would also be a good idea.
After running perf/memory tests across multiple todomvc implementations, I found that almost all implementations have significant memory leaks on the most basic of tasks. Worse yet, most of these leaks were introduced at a framework level, or were introduced by "expert/(framework authors)". The question arose in my mind, if people who authored a framework are introducing leaks in the most trivial of applications, how can users be expected to create non-leaking implementations of much more complex applications.
While it's not obvious from the blackhat blurb, it's stated by the author in their more detailed blog post [1]
Additionally, this behavior is something that LastPass advises against:
"Are you sure you want to have LastPass remember your password? This will significantly decrease the security of your LastPass account!"
Thinking of the possibility space, it seems to me, there exists more ways to fail, than to succeed.
On the other hand, some people suggest in order to win, know what actions lead to failure, and avoid doing those.
Possibly a startup opportunity to offer an easier option with error logs + machine learning.
It sounds a little more palatable, whilst still keeping the spirit of the original.
It's also a bit unclear to me, how one can justifiably hold this position with such confidence?
Steelmanning an argument means to go one step further. In addition to selecting the most charitable parts of another person's argument, one seeks to improve on it, by making it the best possible representation of the other persons position.
From there, one can offer their own counterpoint, to this improved version.

If one needs to be invited, is that a standard process the visitor can initiate?
Why should corporations be granted permission to carve off valuable and generic domain mindshare for their own agendas?
One could argue "You couldn't register .blog or .dev before, and now you can't either, so whats the problem?"
Well, the issue would seem to be that it's reducing the possibility space for everyone. Indeed, there are other competing applications that would in the future be open to all, but will not come to pass, if this closed corporate capture goes ahead.
One last point to consider, why can't Google apply for .googdev or .googblog?

BTW, Olark is a great product, and you deserve every bit of success!
I had no idea that's how GH designed the commit history UI.
Also, it might be a nice bonus, if there was an indication of the fork, somewhere on the graph timeline.
Some of us not following too closely, may have been under the wrong impression about io.js being a new initiative.
In the late 90's, Google had tens of millions of dollars in funding, and took 3 years before it started making revenue, with the launch of Adwords in October of 2000.
Closer to home, in a somewhat ironic twist, my previous comment was downvoted to oblivion. My first thought was to give the critics the benefit of the doubt, and assume they were not intending to be mean.
That said, after I had taken time to give a thoughtful and respectful response (there were no personal attacks, or snark) aimed to give another moral perspective, you have this knee jerk downvoting occurring.
So while on the one hand "it's internet points and who cares, right?". And yet, I'm an actual human being here on the other side of that browser with my real username. Not a hypothetical possibility. It still feels crappy and like you've been judged by the community and found wanting. Thus to me, in my bubble, it feels mean spirited, even it was not.
Thus, it begs the question, why shouldn't our focus be on how the receiver of an action is affected?
Or to take a sillier example: You could certainly act mean to a stone, but would it care?
Personally, I tend to view the term as having more relevance in the interpersonal domain, where one would try to avoid unnecessarily hurting someone else.
Like if it's someone we like, then that person "embellished" their record, but if it's someone we don't then, they "lied".
So thinking aloud, does that mean I can go crash some courses at Stanford too, then put it in the pitch deck as "Attended Stanford". Knowing full well, physical access, is not what is meant by the use of the term and that investors may be misled?
It seems to me, this might qualify as evidence of the reality distortion field at work.
