tek-cyb-orgon Ask HN: How can a intermediate-beginner learn Unix/Linux and programming?

Try lfs(Linux from scratch). Start building your own distros, configure them how you like. You will run into a lot of problems that you will learn how to solve.

tek-cyb-orgon DebConf20: offer to speak in Palestine censored

Why the censorship though? That is pretty nefarious.

Palestinians basically live in israel, but have manufactured concrete borders put around them. Inhibiting their freedom of movement in their own country. Not allowing them to go to conferences. So holding a deb community member asking the community if they would be willing to spend some time for the engineers less fortunate, is actually quite awesome of him.

tek-cyb-orgon Facebook Is Deleting Accounts at the Direction of the US and Israeli Governments

And I'm curious, I don't want to compare the palestinians situation to that of the jews during WWII even though there are many parallels especially those living in Gaza, but would you call the Black civil rights activists in the 50's and 60's or the Anti-Apartheid movement "terrorists" or "inciters"? I mean Nelson Mandela himself said “We know too well that our freedom is incomplete without the freedom of the Palestinians.” Brother, if there is no JUSTICE, there will be no PEACE.

tek-cyb-orgon Facebook Is Deleting Accounts at the Direction of the US and Israeli Governments

You have nothing to do about it? How about stop building government sponsored settlements inside of Palestinian territory, Stop blocking the free movement of Palestinians by putting checkpoints outside of every village. Stop treating these human beings as animals where they are not allowed to walk on "Jewish only" paths. Stop demolishing Palestinian homes in what the IDF calls "Collective Punishment".

Those are just some suggestions if you are looking for peace.

tek-cyb-orgon Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System (2008) [pdf]

Bitocin has been in the works since the 80's. There have been many papers trying to get to the point we are at now so you can say that bitcoin is just version 1.0. Other teams and people (cypherpunks) have been working on this for a while.

tek-cyb-orgon Ask HN:How will Bitcoin futures affect the actual price?

Ok so this is the first time I'm hearing about arbitrage, so I did some googling to find out what it is. Here is what I am unsure of, Bitcoin is Bitcoin, it's an asset that you buy from an exchange (or mine) where as futures contracts are just contracts that don't equate to bitcoin and are not redeemable in bitcoin. This makes arbitrage not possible. That is my understanding.

tek-cyb-orgon Ask HN:How will Bitcoin futures affect the actual price?

I need to read this a bunch of times to comprehend. I'll get back to you. Thanks

tek-cyb-orgon Ask HN:How will Bitcoin futures affect the actual price?

hmm, I still don't quite understand. The bitcoin exchange would have to believe the futures market prices if I'm not mistaken. There wouldn't be an actual effect. Am I making sense?
