    Don Marti: Predictions for 2018

    Bitcoin to the moooon: The futures market is starting up, so here
    comes a bunch more day trader action. More important, think about all
    the bucket shops (I even saw an "invest in Bitcoin without owning
    Bitcoin" ad on public transit in London), legit financial firms,
    Libertarian true believers, and coins lost forever because of human
    error. Central bankers had better keep an eye on Bitcoin, though. Last
    recession we saw that printing money doesn't work as well as it used to,
    because it ends up in the hands of rich people who, instead of priming
    economic pumps with it, just drive up the prices of assets. I would
    predict "Entire Round of Quantitative Easing Gets Invested in Bitcoin
    Without Creating a Single New Job" but I'm saving that one for 2019.
    Central banks will need to innovate. Federal Reserve car crushers?
    Relieve medical deby by letting the UK operate NHS clinics at their
    consulates in the USA, and we trade them US green cards for visas that
    allow US citizens to get treated there? And—this is a brilliant quality
    of Bitcoin that I recognized too late—there is no bad news that could
    credibly hurt the value of a purely speculative asset.

    The lesson for regular people here is not so much what to do with
    Bitcoin, but remember to keep putting some well-considered time into
    actions that you predict have unlikely but large and favorable outcomes.
    Must remember to do more of this.

    High-profile Bitcoin kidnapping in the USA ends in tragedy:
    Kidnappers underestimate the amount of Bitcoin actually available to
    change hands, ask for more than the victim's family (or fans? a
    crowdsourced kidnapping of a celebrity is now a possibility) can raise
    in time. Huge news but not big enough to slow down something that the
    finance scene has already committed to.

    Tech industry reputation problems hit open source. California
    Internet douchebags talk like a positive social movement but act like
    East Coast vampire squid—and people are finally not so much letting
    them define the terms of the
    conversation
    .
    The real Internet economy is moving to a three-class system: plutocrats,
    well-paid brogrammers with Aeron chairs, free snacks and good health
    insurance, and everyone else in the algorithmically-managed precariat.
    So far, people are more concerned about the big social and surveillance
    marketing companies, but open source has some of the same issues. Just
    as it was widely considered silly for people to call Facebook users "the
    Facebook community" in 2017, some of the "community" talk about open
    source will be questioned in 2018. Who's working for who, and who's
    vulnerable to the risks of doing work that someone else extracts the
    value of? College athletes are ahead of the open source scene on this
    one.

    Adfraud becomes a significant problem for end users: Powerful
    botnets in data centers drove the pivot to
    video
    . Now
    that video adfraud is well-known, more of the fraud hackers will move to
    attribution fraud. This ties in to adtech consolidation, too. Google is
    better at beating simple to midrange fraud than the rest of the
    Lumascape, so the steady progress towards a two-logo Lumascape means
    fewer opportunities for bots in data centers.

    Attribution fraud is nastier than servers-talking-to-servers fraud,
    since it usually depends on having fraudulent and legit client software
    on the same system—legit to be used for a human purchase, fraudulent to
    "serve the ad" that takes credit for it. Unlike botnets that can run in
    data centers, attribution fraud comes home with you. Yeech. Browsers and
    privacy tools will need to level up from blocking relatively simple
    Lumascape trackers to blocking cleverer, more aggressive attribution
    fraud scripts.

    Wannabe fascists keep control of the US Congress, because your
    Marketing budget:
    "Dark" social campaigns (both ads and fake "organic"
    activity) are still a thing. In the USA, voter suppression and
    gerrymandering have been cleverly enough done that social manipulation
    can still make a difference, and it will.

    In the long run, dark social will get filtered out by habits,
    technology, norms, and regulation—like junk fax and email spam before
    it—but we don't have a "long run" between now and November 2018. The
    only people who could make an impact on dark social now are the legit
    advertisers who don't want their brands associated with this stuff. And
    right now the expectations to advertise on the major social sites are
    stronger than anybody's ability to get an edgy, controversial "let's not
    SPONSOR ACTUAL F-----G NAZIS" plan through the 2018 marketing budget
    process.

    Yes, the idea of not spending marketing money on supporting
    nationalist extremist forums is new and different now. What a year.

    @raucao I wouldn't describe that as "UK invading Afghanistan". US invaded it.

    Any permanent member can do it, but only two are doing it. But yes, "can do it" is what I said.

    Still, the main point was that Russia has more influence than based on its relative objective importance, partly due to being the successor of the USSR, partly because Putin's maneuvering has kept it there.

    #9 population, #8 economy, yet in the G7 and a permanent member of the Security Council.

      Antonio Terceiro, Paulo Santana e Thadeu Cascardo discutem por quê queremos poder rodar GNU/Linux nos nossos dispositivos móveis, como isso pode ser feito hoje em dia, quais os desafios que vamos encontrar ao tentar fazer isso. Também  é revisitada uma longa lista de iniciativas relacionadas, até chegar ao crowdfundind do Purism Librem 5, um telefone projetado para rodar GNU/Linux.

    FORTUNE DISCUSSES THE OBSCURE FILMS: #8

    THE SMURFS AND THE CUISINART (1986)
    The lovable little blue Smurfs encounter a lovable little kitchen
    appliance, which invites them to play. The Smurfs learn a valuable
    (if sometimes fatal) lesson.

    THE SMURFS AND THE CARBON-DIOXIDE INDUSTRIAL LASER (1987)
    The inevitable sequel. The lovable and somewhat mangled surviving
    Smurfs team up with the Care Bears to encounter a cute, lovable piece
    of high-tech welding equipment, which teaches them the magic of
    becoming rather greasy smoke. Heartwarming fun for the entire family.

    Dirk Eddelbuettel: #8: Customizing Spell Checks for R CMD check

    Welcome to the eight post in the ramblingly random R rants series, or
    R^4^ for short. We took a short break over the last few weeks due to
    some
    conferencing
    followed by some
    vacationing
    and general chill.

    But we're back now, and this post gets us back to initial spirit of
    (hopefully) quick and useful posts. Perusing yesterday's batch of
    CRANberries

    posts, I noticed a peculiar new directory shown the in the
    diffstat output we use to
    compare two subsequent source tarballs. It was entitled .aspell/, in
    the top-level directory, and in two new packages by R Core member Kurt
    Hornik

    himself.

    The context is, of course, the not infrequently-expressed desire to
    customize the spell checking done on CRAN incoming packages, see e.g.
    this r-package-devel
    thread
    .

    And now we can as I verified with (the upcoming next release of)
    RcppArmadillo, along with a recent-enough (i.e. last few days) version
    of r-devel. Just copying what Kurt did, i.e. adding a file
    .aspell/defaults.R, and in it pointing to rds file (named as the
    package) containing a character vector with words added to the spell
    checker's universe is all it takes. For my package, see
    here
    for the peculiars.

    And now R(-devel) CMD check --as-cran ... is silent about spelling.
    Yay!

    But take this with a grain of salt as this does not yet seem to be
    "announced" as e.g. yesterday's change in the CRAN
    Policy

    did not mention it. So things may well change -- but hey, it worked for
    me.

    And this all is about aspell, here is something topical about a
    spell
    to close the post:
