For GCC on System-V ABI on 386-compatible (32-bit processors), the following stands:
1) Bit-fields are allocated from right to left (least to most significant). 2) A bit-field must entirely reside in a storage unit appropriate for its declared type. Thus a bit-field never crosses its unit boundary. 3) Bit-fields may share a storage unit with other struct/union members, including members that are not bit-fields. Of course, struct members occupy different parts of the storage unit. 4) Unnamed bit-fields' types do not affect the alignment of a structure or union, although individual bit-fields' member offsets obey the alignment constraints.

TDD: What it is and why you should embrace it
TDD can be frustrating, but it can also lead to better code.
What is TDD?
Depending on who you talk to, you may get a different answer on this question. I like to think of TDD as a process of programming which has the main goals of writing code efficiently and as bug free as possible. By writing tests first, one can ensure that each feature of a program is accounted for with tests. This fact alone is a major selling point of TDD.
By ensuring that each feature is tested, a programmer can rest assured that the current iteration of the program is working properly (at least as assured as one can be) and that any additional features can be implemented without fear of creating bugs in the initial features. One simply has to run the tests to see if the implementation of a new feature has created any such problems.
In TDD, a programmer will not write a line of code until a test has been written. The process goes like this:
- Write a test
- Run all the tests to verify that a new test fails
- Write just enough code to pass the test
- Run the tests to verify that it passes
- Refactor the code
- Repeat if necessary
Writing code in this manor ensures that only enough code to pass the tests will be written. Programmers who use TDD have to be very disciplined and need to work for an organization that is committed to TDD. Otherwise, the tendancy to skip the test writing process will take over and the benefits of TDD will be lost.
Why TDD is superior (in my opinion)
While TDD is gaining in popularity and more and more programmers are realizing the benefits, there is still a healthy debate about it's effectiveness.
I think the main reason that some programmers find it difficult to embrace is the fact that it does not feel intuitive to write the test first. We are problem solvers, and our tendancy is to jump right in and start solving the problem. Writing the test first can feel like a highly innefficient and less productive workflow.
Ironically, one of the benefits of TDD is higher productivity from programmers who write the tests first.
As a programmer, I have experienced this first hand. For a long time, I questioned the need for all of these tests and it just didn't seem necessary or correct to start off writing tests before I had some form of code to run through it. The process felt like a handcuff.
Despite my lack of enthusiasm for this process, I knew that I must give it a fair trial before I could decide if it was good or bad. I did my best to give it a fair shot. It only took a few highly successful programming sessions to start to change my mind about TDD.
A good programmer once told me that he never wrote his best solution on the first pass. He needed to write one solution to fully understand how all of the pieces would work together and then, in essence, go back and re-write it with his improved knowledge of the problem and implementation of the solution.
In my opinion, this is where TDD really shines. The act of writing tests first acts to force us into thinking about possible solutions before we start writing the code. This effectively turns our initial solution into a much stronger and cohesive solution which can then be iterated over even further to improve. I am certain that this is one of the main reasons for the data that points to higher productivity from TDD programmers.
Another major benefit of using TDD is the fact that it forces you to break the problem down into small chunks. Rather than tackling the entire problem at once, you simply need to focus on passing the next test. This is, in my opinion a much more efficient way of programming.
If you are skeptical, I would highly encourage you to give TDD a fair try as I did. I think you will find that it is a superior way to write good code that is very easy to alter in the future. It can often be very difficult to see these benefits until you actually use TDD for a significant amount of time.

John T. Unger came from a family that had been well known in Hades—a small town on the Mississippi River—for several generations. John's father had held the amateur golf championship through many a heated contest; Mrs. Unger was known "from hot–box to hot–bed," as the local phrase went, for her political addresses; and young John T. Unger, who had just turned sixteen, had danced all the latest dances from New York before he put on long trousers. And now, for a certain time, he was to be away from home. That respect for a New England education which is the bane of all provincial places, which drains them yearly of their most promising young men, had seized upon his parents. Nothing would suit them but that he should go to St. Midas's School near Boston—Hades was too small to hold their darling and gifted son.
Now in Hades—as you know if you ever have been there—the names of the more fashionable preparatory schools and colleges mean very little. The inhabitants have been so long out of the world that, though they make a show of keeping up–to–date in dress and manners and literature, they depend to a great extent on hearsay, and a function that in Hades would be considered elaborate would doubtless be hailed by a Chicago beef–princess as "perhaps a little tacky."
John T. Unger was on the eve of departure. Mrs. Unger, with maternal fatuity, packed his trunks full of linen suits and electric fans, and Mr. Unger presented his son with an asbestos pocket–book stuffed with money.
"Remember, you are always welcome here," he said. "You can be sure, boy, that we'll keep the home fires burning."
"I know," answered John huskily.
"Don't forget who you are and where you come from," continued his father proudly, "and you can do nothing to harm you.
So the old man and the young shook hands, and John walked away with tears streaming from his eyes. Ten minutes later he had passed outside the city limits and he stopped to glance back for the last time. Over the gates the old–fashioned Victorian motto seemed strangely attractive to him. His father had tried time and time again to have it changed to something with a little more push and verve about it, such as "Hades—Your Opportunity," or else a plain "Welcome" sign set over a hearty handshake pricked out in electric lights. The old motto was a little depressing, Mr. Unger had thought—but now ....
So John took his look and then set his face resolutely toward his destination. And, as he turned away, the lights of Hades against the sky seemed full of a warm and passionate beauty.
* * * * *
St. Midas's School is half an hour from Boston in a Rolls–Pierce motor–car. The actual distance will never be known, for no one, except John T. Unger, had ever arrived there save in a Rolls–Pierce and probably no one ever will again. St. Midas's is the most expensive and the most exclusive boys' preparatory school in the world.
John's first two years there passed pleasantly. The fathers of all the boys were money–kings, and John spent his summer visiting at fashionable resorts. While he was very fond of all the boys he visited, their fathers struck him as being much of a piece, and in his boyish way he often wondered at their exceeding sameness. When he told them where his home was they would ask jovially, "Pretty hot down there?" and John would muster a faint smile and answer, "It certainly is." His response would have been heartier had they not all made this joke—at best varying it with, "Is it hot enough for you down there?" which he hated just as much.
In the middle of his second year at school, a quiet, handsome boy named Percy Washington had been put in John's form. The new–comer was pleasant in his manner and exceedingly well dressed even for St. Midas's, but for some reason he kept aloof from the other boys. The only person with whom he was intimate was John T. Unger, but even to John he was entirely uncommunicative concerning his home or his family. That he was wealthy went without saying, but beyond a few such deductions John knew little of his friend, so it promised rich confectionery for his curiosity when Percy invited him to spend the summer at his home "in the West." He accepted, without hesitation.
It was only when they were in the train that Percy became, for the first time, rather communicative. One day while they were eating lunch in the dining–car and discussing the imperfect characters of several of the boys at school, Percy suddenly changed his tone and made an abrupt remark.
"My father," he said, "is by far the richest man in the world."
"Oh," said John politely. He could think of no answer to make to this confidence. He considered "That's very nice," but it sounded hollow and was on the point of saying, "Really?" but refrained since it would seem to question Percy's statement. And such an astounding statement could scarcely be questioned.
"By far the richest," repeated Percy.
"I was reading in the World Almanac," began John, "that there was one man in America with an income of over five million a years and four men with incomes of over three million a year, and—–"
"Oh, they're nothing." Percy's mouth was a half–moon of scorn. "Catch–penny capitalists, financial small–fry, petty merchants and money–lenders. My father could buy them out and not know he'd done it."
"But how does he—–"
"Why haven't they put down his income–tax? Because he doesn't pay any. At least he pays a little one—but he doesn't pay any on his real income."
"He must be very rich," said John simply, "I'm glad. I like very rich people.
"The richer a fella is, the better I like him." There was a look of passionate frankness upon his dark face. "I visited the Schnlitzer–Murphys last Easter. Vivian Schnlitzer–Murphy had rubies as big as hen's eggs, and sapphires that were like globes with lights inside them—–"
"I love jewels," agreed Percy enthusiastically. "Of course I wouldn't want any one at school to know about it, but I've got quite a collection myself. I used to collect them instead of stamps."
"And diamonds," continued John eagerly. "The Schnlitzer–Murphys had diamonds as big as walnuts—–"
"That's nothing." Percy had leaned forward and dropped his voice to a low whisper. "That's nothing at all. My father has a diamond bigger than the Ritz–Carlton Hotel."


Contribution Agreement & Terms and Conditions
By transferring Ether (“ETH”) to the Smart Contract System and distributing Dentacoin Tokens (“DCN”),
the User understands and accepts that the User makes a contribution into a Smart Contract System for
the development of the Dentacoin value-creating tools (“Contribution”), further described in the Dentacoin
Whitepaper. For the Whitepaper and/or further information on Dentacoin, visit: https://dentacoin.com/.
The information contained in the Whitepaper and on the website are of descriptive nature only, are not
binding and do – unless explicitly referred to herein – not form part of the Terms as set forth under para 5 below.
The User understands and accepts that while the individuals and entities, including Dentacoin Foundation,
assigned to this task will make reasonable efforts to develop and complete the Dentacoin tools,
it is possible that such development may fail and User’s DCN become useless and/or valueless
due to technical, commercial, regulatory or any other reasons (see also section 5 regarding Risks).
The User is also aware of the risk that even if all or parts of the Dentacoin tools are successfully
developed and released in full or in parts, due to a lack of public interest, the Dentacoin tools could
be fully or partially abandoned, remain commercially unsuccessful or shut down for lack of interest,
regulatory or other reasons.The User therefore understands and accepts that the transfer of
ETH to the Smart Contract System and the distribution of DCN by the Smart Contract System carry
significant financial, regulatory and/or reputational risks (including the complete loss of value
of created DCN if any, and attributed features of the Dentacoin tools).
By transferring ETH to the Smart Contract System, the User expressly agrees to all of the terms and
conditions set forth in Smart Contract System Code existing on the Ethereum blockchain (at the addresses
set forth under para 4) and in this document (together the “Terms”), which is incorporated by reference
herein. This document does not constitute a prospectus of any sort, is not a solicitation for investment
and does not pertain in any way to an initial public offering or a share/equity offering and does not
pertain in any way to an offering of securities in any jurisdiction. It is a description of the functionality
of a Smart Contract System.
By transferring ETH to the Smart Contract System and receiving DCN, no form of partnership, joint
venture or any similar relationship between the Users and Dentacoin Foundation and/or other individuals
or entities involved with the deployment of the Smart Contract System and the setting up of the Dentacoin
tools is created.
The Contribution into the Smart Contract System will not involve any fiat currencies and will strictly be
done in cryptocurrencies (ETH).
Usage License: Ownership of DCN carries no rights express or implied other than a limited
right (license) to use the Dentacoin network (“Dentacoin Network”), if and to the extent the Dentacoin tools
has been successfully completed and launched.
No Ownership, Revenue or Governance Rights: In particular, User understands and accepts that
DCN do not represent or constitute any ownership right or stake, share or security or equivalent rights
nor any right to receive future revenues, shares or any other form of participation or governance right
in or relating to the Dentacoin tools or the Dentacoin Foundation.
Contribution Cap: The total amount of Contributions will be hard-capped to 10 000 ETH.
Contributions (pending or transacted) exceeding the respective Hard Cap, will not be accepted as Contributions
(in total, not just the exceeding part). Once the Hard Cap has been reached, the Contribution Period ends.
Token Pool: At the end of the Contribution Period, an amount of max. 80 000 000 000 DCN
is planned to be distributed by the Smart Contract System, all of equal value and functionality.
Creation Rate: The Smart Contract System will allocate 8 000 000 DCN for every Contribution of 1 ETH.
Minimum Purchase Requirements: Purchases of less than 10 DCN do not result in the allocation of DCN.
Contribution Period: The Contribution Period starts on 1st of July 2017 (8:00 a.m. GMT)
and ends on 1st of August 2017 (8:00 a.m. GMT) or when the Hard Cap is reached - whichever is earlier.
Creation and Allocation of DCN: The creation and allocation of DCN is initiated by the
User sending an amount of ETH to the Smart Contract System, located on the Ethereum blockchain at the
address set forth under para 4, which triggers a smart contract operation. After the confirmation of the
transaction, the Smart Contract System creates and allocates the corresponding DCN to the User’s wallet
address, from where the ETH were sent from. User must assure to make his contribution using an ETH address
to which they hold the according private key (e.g. not an address of a currency exchange
like Coinbase, Kraken, Poloniex or wallets that doesn't support Dentacoin tokens yet e.g. Jaxx).
Issuance of DCN (meaning that respective entries of the Public Key
(PUK) of User) are made by the Smart Contract System on the blockchain according to the allocation information
in the Smart Contract System.
No Refund: The User understands and accepts that all Contributions for DCN are final and may
not be reversed, except in case Contributions have surpassed the Hard Cap (see para 11). User therefore shall
assure to make his Contribution using an ETH address
to which they hold the according private key (e.g. not an address of a currency exchange
like Coinbase, Kraken, Poloniex or wallets that doesn't support Dentacoin tokens yet e.g. Jaxx). Other Contributions are
non-refundable. By contributing for DCN, the User acknowledges that he has no right to request a refund for any
reason, and that the User will not receive money or other compensation for any DCN that is not used or remains unused.
Assure to use the original Smart Contracts: Only the Smart Contract(s) existing at the address
set forth under para 4 will issue DCN during the Contribution Period. Access to this Smart Contract will be
available through 0x08d32b0da63e2C3bcF8019c9c5d849d7a9d791e6. To the extent that any third-party website,
service or smart-contract offers DCN during the Contribution Period and/or facilitates the allocation or transfer
of DCN in any way during the Contribution Period, such third-party websites or services are not authorised by
Dentacoin Foundation and have no relationship in any way with Dentacoin Foundation.
Early Termination of the Contribution Period: During the Contribution Period, Dentacoin Foundation
may at any time stop the contribution function at its own discretion and thereby end the Contribution procedure,
in particular for security reasons.
DCN are only for use in connection with the Dentacoin tools under the terms of the Smart Contract System and
only constitute a transferable representation of attributed functions specified in the Smart Contract System.
DCN is a usage token, which enables to participate in the Dentacoin Network. Furthermore, certain governance
functions may be implemented. If such governance functions exist, at least at the beginning, Dentacoin Foundation
has the final decision power regarding all matters discussed.
User understands and accepts that subject to a decision of the DCN holders based on a governance mechanism, an
inflation mechanism (e.g. for staking rewards etc.) may be implemented in the future.
Ownership of DCN carries no rights express or implied other than the right to use DCN as a mean to enable usage
of and interaction with and within the Dentacoin Network, if successfully completed and deployed (see section 3).
Beyond this, ownership of DCN carries no rights express or implied. In particular, User understands and accepts
that he has no right to claim as holder of DCN any intellectual property rights, equity or equivalent rights or
any other form of participation in or relating to the Dentacoin tools, Dentacoin Network and/or Dentacoin Foundation.
By transferring ETH to the Smart Contract System and creating DCN, the User represents and warrants that:
the User is not a citizen or resident of a country, whose legislation conflicts with the present allocation of DCN
and/or the Dentacoin tools in general;
the User is not a citizen or resident of the USA;
the User has a deep understanding of the functionality, usage, storage, transmission mechanisms and intricacies
associated with cryptographic tokens, like bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH), and blockchain-based software systems;
the User understands and accepts that there is no warranty or assurance that the network of miners will allocate
the DCN to the Users as proposed by these Terms. The User understands and accepts that the consensus mechanism
securing the Ethereum Network may change in the future, and the stakeholders who are in control of the Network may
also change as a result.
the User has carefully reviewed the code of the Smart Contract System located on the Ethereum blockchain at the
addresses set forth under para 4 and fully understands and accepts the functions implemented therein;
the User is legally permitted to transfer ETH to the Smart Contract System, create and obtain DCN in the User’s jurisdiction;
User will contribute ETH from a wallet respectively within a wallet or wallet service provider that technically
supports the DCN. User understands and accepts, that failure to assure this may have the result that User will not
gain access to his DCN;
User understands and accepts, that if he exceeds with his Contribution the Hard Cap as described within para 11,
the total amount of his Contribution will not be accepted by the Smart Contract System. User further understands
and accepts, that in such case the Gas necessary for the transaction will be lost.
the User is legally permitted to receive software and contributing to the Smart Contract System for the development
of the Dentacoin tools;
the User is of a sufficient age to legally create and obtain DCN;
the User will take sole responsibility for any restrictions and risks associated with the creation of DCN by the
Smart Contract System as set forth below;
the User is not submitting ETH to the Smart Contract System to obtain DCN for the purpose of speculative investment;
the User is not obtaining or using DCN for any illegal purposes;
the User is purchasing the functionality of the DCN issued by the Smart Contract System primarily to support the
development, testing, deployment and operation of the Dentacoin tools, being aware of the commercial risks
associated with the Dentacoin tools;
the User waives the right to participate in a class action lawsuit or a classwide arbitration against Dentacoin
Foundation or any individual involved with the creation of DCN;
the User understands the creation of DCN does not involve the purchase of shares or any equivalent in any
existing or future public or private company, corporation or other entity in any jurisdiction;
the User understands that the transfer of ETH to the Smart Contract System, the creation of DCN and the development
of the Dentacoin tools carries significant financial, regulatory and reputational risks as further set forth in the Terms;
the User understands and expressly accepts that there is no warranty whatsoever on DCN, the Smart Contract System
and/or the success of the Dentacoin tools, expressed or implied, to the extent permitted by law, and that the Smart
Contract System is used and DCN are created and obtained at the sole risk of the User on an “as is” and “under
development” basis and without, to the extent permitted by law, any warranties of any kind, including, but not
limited to, warranties of title or implied warranties, merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose;
the User understands that the User has no right against any other party to request any refund of the ETH submitted
to the Smart Contract System for the creation of the DCN under any circumstance;
the User understands with regard to DCN no market liquidity may be guaranteed and that the value of DCN over time may
experience extreme volatility or depreciate in full;
the User understands that the User bears the sole responsibility to determine if the User’s contribution to the Smart
Contract System for the development of the Dentacoin tools, the transfer of ETH to the Smart Contract System, the
creation, ownership or use of DCN, the potential appreciation or depreciation in the value of DCN over time (if any),
the allocation of DCN and/or any other action or transaction related to the Dentacoin tools have tax implications for
him; by creating, holding or using DCN, and to the extent permitted by law, the User agrees not to hold any third party
(including developers, auditors, contractors or founders) liable for any tax liability associated with or arising from
the creation, ownership or use of DCN or any other action or transaction related to the Dentacoin tools.
As part of the contribution process the User will use own account (address) on the Ethereum network, with a private
key associated to this address and password. The password is used to encrypt the User’s private key. Following the
creation of DCN by the Smart Contract System, the DCN will be transferred to the User's address by the Smart Contract
System. The User understands that the User must keep his password and private key safe and that the User may not share
them with anybody. The User further understands that if his private key and/or password is lost or stolen, the User
will not be able to generate a new password or recover his private key, and if the User also loses his private keys and
password, the DCN associated with the User's account (address) will be unrecoverable and will be permanently lost.
Furthermore, the User understands that there is no recovery mechanism for lost keys and passwords, so no one will be able
to help the User retrieve or reconstruct a lost password and private keys and provide the User with access to any lost DCN.
The User understands and accepts that the development and execution of the Dentacoin tools will be assigned to a third
party contractor, Dentacoin Foundation, by releasing the amount of contributed ETH by the Smart Contract System to the
wallet of Dentacoin Foundation. Dentacoin Foundation has the right to engage subcontractors to perform the entire or
partial development and execution of the Dentacoin tools. The scope of the development work will be triggered by the
amount of Contributions received during the Contribution Period. Dentacoin Foundation shall further have the right to
assign the Dentacoin tools including the Contributions received for its development to a third party.
The User understands and accepts that for the purpose of the development and execution of the Dentacoin tools, Dentacoin
Foundation receives the full amount of ETH transferred to the Smart Contract System during the Contribution Period.
This amount covers expenses, charges and other costs that may arise by Dentacoin Foundation and/or its subcontractors as
part of the development and execution of the Dentacoin tools. Dentacoin Foundation has the right to support and/or acquire
other companies for the benefit of successfully developing the Dentacoin tools. It remains at Dentacoin Foundation’s sole
discretion to decide how to allocate the funds in order to develop and execute the Dentacoin tools.
The User understands and accepts that the User may not have any expectation of influence over governance on the Dentacoin tools.
The User understands and accepts that the Dentacoin tools will need to go through substantial development works as part
of which it may become subject of significant conceptual, technical and commercial changes before release. User understands
and accepts that as part of the development, an upgrade of the DCN may be required (hard-fork of DCN) and that, if User
decides not to participate in such upgrade, he may no longer use his DCN and that non upgraded DCN may lose their functionality in full.
The Smart Contract System has been, on a reasonable effort basis, audited and approved by technical experts. The technical
experts have confirmed that the Smart Contract System has, with regard to both accuracy and security, been programmed
according to the current state of the art.
However, the User understands and accepts that smart contract technology is still in an early development stage and its
application of experimental nature which carries significant operational, technological, financial, regulatory and reputational
risks. Accordingly, while the audit conducted raises the level of security and accuracy, the User understands and accepts that
the audit does not amount to any form of warranty, including direct or indirect warranties that the Smart Contract System and
the DCN are fit for a particular purpose or do not contain any weaknesses, vulnerabilities or bugs which could cause, inter alia,
the complete loss of ETH and/or DCN.
The User understands and accepts the risks in connection with transferring ETH to the Smart Contract System and creating DCN as
exemplary set forth above and hereinafter. In particular, but not concluding, the User understands the inherent risks listed hereinafter:
Risk of software weaknesses: The User understands and accepts that the Smart Contract System concept, the underlying
software application and software platform (i.e. the Ethereum blockchain) is still in an early development stage and unproven, why
there is no warranty that the process for creating DCN will be uninterrupted or error-free and why there is an inherent risk that
the software could contain weaknesses, vulnerabilities or bugs causing, inter alia, the complete loss of ETH and/or DCN.
Regulatory risk: The User understands and accepts that the blockchain technology allows new forms of interaction
and that it is possible that certain jurisdictions will apply existing regulations on, or introduce new regulations addressing,
blockchain technology based applications, which may be contrary to the current setup of the Smart Contract System and which may,
inter alia, result in substantial modifications of the Smart Contract System and/or the Dentacoin tools, including its termination
and the loss of DCN for the User.
Risk of abandonment / lack of success: The User understands and accepts that the creation of the DCN and the development of the
Dentacoin tools may be abandoned for a number of reasons, including lack of interest from the public, lack of funding, lack of
commercial success or prospects (e.g. caused by competing projects). The User therefore understands that there is no assurance
that, even if the Dentacoin tools is partially or fully developed and launched, the User will receive any benefits through the
DCN held by him.
Risk associated with other applications: The User understands and accepts that the Dentacoin tools may give
rise to other, alternative projects, promoted by unaffiliated third parties, under which DCN will have no intrinsic value.
Risk of loss of private key: DCN can only be accessed by using an Ethereum wallet with a combination of
User’s account information (address), private key and password. The private key is encrypted with a password. The User
understands and accepts that if his private key file or password respectively got lost or stolen, the obtained DCN associated
with the User's account (address) or password will be unrecoverable and will be permanently lost.
Risk of theft: The User understands and accepts that the Smart Contract System concept, the underlying software
application and software platform (i.e. the Ethereum blockchain) may be exposed to attacks by hackers or other individuals that could
result in theft or loss of DCN and/or ETH, impacting the ability to develop the Dentacoin tools.
Risk of Ethereum mining attacks: The User understands and accepts that, as with other cryptocurrencies, the blockchain
used for the Smart Contract System is susceptible to mining attacks, including but not limited to double-spend attacks, majority mining
power attacks, “selfish-mining” attacks, and race condition attacks. Any successful attacks present a risk to the Smart Contract System,
expected proper execution and sequencing of DCN transactions, and expected proper execution and sequencing of contract computations.
Risk of governance attacks and failure: The Contributor understands and accepts that the Dentacoin Network may use
an in-built decentralized governance system (“Governance System”). For these reasons, it is possible that the Governance System adopts
proposals that have an adverse effect on the useful functioning of the Dentacoin Network and/or the value of DCN. If the Governance
System is attacked, or becomes controlled either directly or indirectly by some party who makes unwise decisions, or the community
generally makes unwise decisions, the value of DCN held by a Contributor might be greatly reduced or even permanently lost.
Risk of incompatible Wallet service: The User understands and accepts, that the wallet or wallet service provider
used for the contribution, has to be technically compatible with the DCN. The failure to assure this may have the result that User
will not gain access to his DCN.
The User bears the sole responsibility to determine if his contribution into the Smart Contract System for the development of the
Dentacoin tools, the transfer of ETH, the creation, ownership or use of DCN, the potential appreciation or depreciation in the value
of DCN over time (if any), the allocation of DCN and/or any other action or transaction related to the Dentacoin tools have tax
implications for him.
By creating, holding or using DCN, and to the extent permitted by law, the User agrees not to hold any third party (including developers,
auditors, contractors or founders) liable for any tax liability associated with or arising from the creation, ownership or use of DCN or
any other action or transaction related to the Dentacoin tools.
The User acknowledges and agrees that, to the fullest extent permitted by any applicable law, the User will not hold any developers,
auditors, contractors or founders of the DCN, the Smart Contract System and/or Dentacoin Foundation liable for any and all damages or
injury whatsoever caused by or related to the use of, or the inability to use, DCN or the Smart Contract System under any cause or
action whatsoever of any kind in any jurisdiction, including, without limitation, actions for breach of warranty, breach of contract
or tort (including negligence) and that developers, auditors contractors or founders of the Smart Contract System, the DCN and/or the
Dentacoin tools shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, exemplary or consequential damages, including for loss of
profits, goodwill or data, in any way whatsoever arising out of the use of, or the inability to use of the Smart Contract System, the
Dentacoin tools and/or DCN.
The User further specifically acknowledges that developers, auditors, contractors or founders of the DCN, Smart Contract System and/or
the Dentacoin tools are not liable, and the User agrees not to seek to hold them liable, for the conduct of third parties, including
other creators of DCN, and that the risk of creating, holding and using DCN rests entirely with the User.
By creating, holding or using DCN, and to the extent permitted by law, the User agrees not to hold any third party (including developers,
auditors, contractors or founders) liable for any regulatory implications or liability associated with or arising from the creation,
ownership or use of DCN or any other action or transaction related to the Dentacoin tools.
The User understands and accepts that the network of miners will be ultimately in control of the Smart Contract System. The User understands
that a majority of these miners could agree at any point to make changes to the official Smart Contract System and to run the new version of
the Smart Contract System. Such a scenario could lead to DCN losing intrinsic value.
The Smart Contract System is located in Alderney. Consequently, the DCN creation and allocation and the assignment of the development
and execution of the Dentacoin tools to Dentacoin Foundation are considered to be executed in Alderney.
The User agrees that if any portion of these Terms is found illegal or unenforceable, in whole or in part, such provision shall, as
to such jurisdiction, be ineffective solely to the extent of such determination of invalidity or unenforceability without affecting
the validity or enforceability thereof in any other manner or jurisdiction and without affecting the remaining provisions of the Terms,
which shall continue to be in full force and effect.
The Terms govern the creation, ownership and use of DCN and supersede any public statements about the launch of DCN and/or the Smart
Contract System made by anyone in the past, present and future.
The applicable law is Dutch law. Any dispute arising out of or in connection with the creation of the DCN and the development and execution
of the Dentacoin tools shall be finally settled by the ordinary courts of the registered domicile of the defendant.
*I hereby agree that I have read and agree to the Contribution Agreement & Terms and Conditions.
*I hereby acknowledge that as a Contributor, I do not receive equity in Dentacoin Foundation.

--- layout: post title: I-mode news date: 2006-10-02 00:00:00 categories: business interfaces-&-interaction mobile ---
A couple of interesting titbits from this weeks I-mode newsletter...
NEC pulls out of Europe: ""NEC's varied range of 3G devices failed to compete when the bigger manufacturers came on line. NEC then spent some time with low-end devices such as the NEC E101 before concentrating more on i-mode devices for carriers such as O2. Despite being among the first to market with both 3G and i-mode handsets, NEC's impact on the market had declined to almost nothing.""
I'm not surprised; their handsets were uniformly awful; some of the recent I-mode ones got there as far as external design went, but the UI let it down badly.
A sign of operators trying out different structures for mobile content? "Since inking a partnership in February, Nippon TV and DoCoMo have been co-developing services and planning and producing special-purpose entertainment and broadcast content for broadcast TV, which is operating in Japan."
It's not surprising to see operators trying out different ways of structuring their content businesses, but I don't see why the TV model should necessarily be the one to pursue; why is TV the holy grail for content businesses?


STARSHIP TROOPERS A film review by David N. Butterworth Copyright 1997 David N. Butterworth
Rating: *** (Maltin scale)
As a faithful screen version of "Starship Troopers," Robert Heinlein's classic 1959 science fiction novel, Paul Verhoeven's latest film might find more than a few detractors. But as a brainless bubblegum movie, it's an exhilarating adrenaline rush.
Advances in digital technology have allowed "creature effects" supervisors to bring monsters out of the darkness and expose them in plain sight--gazillions of them, in fact. Visual stylist Phil Tippett's dinosaur stampede in "Jurassic Park" was jaw-dropping enough, but on the open, desolate landscapes of "Starship Troopers"' Klendathu and planet P, his team of brilliant technicians have raised the bar even further, computer-generating an army of ferocious, insect-like aliens that are nothing less than astonishing.
"Starship Troopers" is a film of two distinct halves. Its first hour concentrates on plot and character development, with the second hour almost entirely dedicated to what amounts to one big Bug Hunt (the script's working title). This is just as well, because the war is so exhausting, so relentless, that two plus hours of this would have left even the most resilient viewer a little shell-shocked.
In a future world dominated by Federal Service campaigning, three high school hopefuls are eager to enlist.
Johnny Rico (newcomer Casper Van Dien) wants to become a "citizen" in order to impress his girlfriend, Carmen (played by Denise Richards). Carmen aspires to pilot her own spaceship some day. And Dizzy Flores ("Dragonheart"'s Dina Meyer), who has the hots for Johnny, schemes to follow him into military school and create a little triangular friction in the process. "Mobile infantry and Fleet don't mix!" we also learn.
"Starship Troopers" isn't afraid to poke fun at itself, and this is largely what makes the first half watchable. There's also some predictable boot camp sadism that we've all seen before (only better), but once the kids graduate and start kicking some bug heiney, there's no stopping these troopers.
After the disastrous "Showgirls," director Verhoeven has returned to more comfortable terrain and an opportunity to re-deploy his highly visceral style, as one might expect from the man who made "Robocop" and "Total Recall." "Starship Troopers" is big on gore--very big--with pretty boys and girls being torn limb from limb at the slightest provocation. But it's so over the top that most viewers will become desensitized to it early on.
Verhoeven's casting of bit players from television's "Melrose Place" and "Beverly Hills 90210" works surprisingly well. Even with its R-rating (for extreme violence, and for some language and nudity), "Starship Troopers" is clearly aimed at the teen market, who should have no trouble relating to all those fresh young faces and jutting jaws.
Few in this generation are likely to have read Heinlein's book, or even realize the film's screenplay is based on material from another medium, but if taken at face value, "Starship Troopers" is an effects-laden thrill ride.

Quarantine Diary in a Nearly Parallel Universe Tweet
Note: The idea of parallel universes is untestable and therefore for some scientists only a stuff of science fiction. But do feel free to read about the Many Worlds Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics. It is an interesting idea.
Day 1:
I feel something weird in my lungs. I decide not to go to work the following day.
I wonder where I got this. Must be from Wilson. He can’t wash his hands. :cold_sweat:
Day 3:
Dry Cough worsen a bit. Called CERN COVID-19 hotline. Was not a candidate for testing.
At the Large Improv Collider (LIC) last week, we played the game “5 Things”. In the first round I was asked to name 5 things that is made of glass.
Me: Windows
LIC Chorus: ONE THING!
Me: Eyeglasses
LIC Chorus: TWO THINGS!
Me: Cinderella’s shoes!
LIC Chorus: THREE THINGS!
Me: Lenses
LIC Chorus: FOUR THINGS!
Me: My Heart!
LIC Chorus: Lol. FFIIIIIIIVEEE THINGS!!
Ok, that was corny. In the next round I was asked to name 5 things that I would do with my nose.
Me: Smell my friend?
LIC Chorus: ONE THING!
Me: Scratch my hand?
LIC Chorus: TWO THINGS!
Me: Sniff flowers
LIC Chorus: THREE THINGS!
Me: Sneeze
LIC Chorus: FOUR THINGS!
Me: Contract Corona Virus
LIC Chorus: Lol. FFIIIIIIIVEEE THINGS!!
Uhmmm…
Day 4:
My symptoms subside. Joke. Came back at night!
Day 5:
Called hotline again. Became a candidate for testing. I line up in the ER. It was quite a long line. No social distancing. I tried to control my cough. I have actually developed a musical humming ability to cover up a soft cough. But it is no longer working. I imagined in horror how my strong cough could be like a strong repulsive force that will make people jump away from me. I try to breathe deeply and get some oxygen, but perhaps dead cell fragments in my pipes have clogged them up too much. I hum and cough. And then another came. And then a louder one! And another louder one!!! A chorus of coughs started. It turns out the last loud cough wasn’t from me. I find out all of us were getting tested.
In these times it is more embarrassing to cough than to fart.
Day 7:
I get new symptoms. I imagine Ali Wong and her face. She tells me “You need to eat a banana.”
I have started people watching through the window. I have not started barking at them.
Day 8:
Someone recommends to make things. Be creative. The only thing I’ve been so creative at was making copies of an unknown virus.
Day 11:
I have taken the advice of Instagram’s “DadLab” to draw something with my foot. I immediately thought about how long it would take to rewire our brain to be used to doing stuff with our feet in the event we lose our hands. I’ve decided to take it a step further and started to write emails with my feet. In fact, if you have received a message from me, it was written by my left foot. My right is still a bit slow.
Day 12:
My symptoms have started to subside. This time for real. My adviser’s cats have started to follow me on Instagram. I feel honored.
Day 13:
I decide to watch Notting Hill. For me the most relatable character is the Welshman, Spikey. Unlike him, I have never really met a girl named Pandora. I have opened her box though.
Exponential curves are becoming super popular. The number of messages I haven’t responded to are also growing exponentially.
Day 14:
I have learned that there’s a lot of physics in vaccine design specially with the protein folding problem. I figured Marie Kondo could help with that.
Day 15:
I could technically go out! I had a medical reason. But I was scared of crossing to France. Since bus trips were suppressed, I had to cross the border on foot and the shortcut was through a field. It smelled like horse poop. Smelled like my childhood. I get to my doctor on time. It was nice.
The following day, I read this on the news:
Day 16:
I do not remember seeing blue skies in Manila. That is why I often take pictures of the sky when it is blue in America and in Europe. My friend tells me that the lockdown made Manila skies so clear that they could see Mount Mayon and the Statue of Liberty from there.
I tell my friends to consider donating to the Office of the Vice President of the Philippines to fund the Personal Protective Equipment of medical frontliners. Here is the link. The cost of a full PPE pack is about 7 usd. When you are done, boast about it. I will not judge you.
Day 17:
I write something that I thought was inspirational in my blog. I shared it to my mama. She said it was depressing. I deleted it.
WWWWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH……
I’m OK.
As my friend says, “Science must go on”. We must continue to ask important questions that will advance our knowledge of the universe.
Day 18:
I watch Bridget Jones Diary 3.  So is Mark Darcy.
I have found my Therapist on Instagram. DO NOT FOLLOW HER! The only boundary I shouldn’t respect is de virus envelope. STAAAAAHP.
I find that listening to Irish Boy Bands makes me feel better.
Day 19:
Dear Trump, if you decide to reopen the economy prematurely, there’s some probability that the virus causing COVID-19 will mutate to COVID-20. It only attacks the epithelial cells of your supporters, and you will be patient 0.
I also spent the afternoon listening to my 60-year old room mate give the whole story of the two Korean dramas she watched on Netflix. After she finished the two, she gave me the summary of the first 10 episodes of her 3rd Korean drama. After that, we talked about her love life.
Her story made me think about the concept of attractiveness. Humans adorn with themselves with jewelries, nice clothings, expensive bags to signal their status in society. I found the perfect way to dress up to be more attractive:
Day 20:
People are breaking down on twitter. People who share how productive they are are viciously attacked for their insensitivity for those who have kids and cats who are fighting each other during the lockdown. On this day, I have started talking to the pigeon who visits my window. Never have I felt so listened to my entire life.
I do a google search of the definitition of productivity.
We have also ran out of chocolate chip cookies. I go out to the store and these are all that’s left.
I think humans can eat this, right?
Pele says that Cristiano is better than Messi. Me remembers data scientists saying Messi is better. But the debate is irrelevant at this point. Corona virus stopped all leagues in the world and football stars are now relegated to juggling toilet paper on Instagram.
Day 21:
Geneva is still on lockdown and every douane has been closed but complete curfew has been put on hold based on mobile surveillance data. Hmmm. Big Brother. See this. I guess it’s ok for now. Also, my optimistic comment on Tuscaloosa didn’t age well.
Today I learned that Boris Johnson tested positive. I guess herd immunity worked well for him.
Oh, I never really got my COVID-19 test result back.
Will learn Klingon. Making no progress in Survival French. I have also considered learning about foraging.
I miss 2019. I met new friends. I learned a lot about myself. Passed my exams. The worst thing was probably how Game of Thrones ended.
Started watching The Martian. I have also started snuggling a potato in bed.
Day 23
I ask my room mate what her favorite music is and introduced Spotify. She loved it so much and started playing “Never enough” on loop.
We cooked the potato I was snuggling.


Wonder how to make a weather reminder app like WeatherBe or UmbrellaAlert ? These apps send you notification WHEN it's raining based on the weather information of your current LOCATION.
Now we have an ongoing app project which lacks the code of the core function: determine WHEN and WHAT to notify users. We need you to implement it!


Void QuantConnect.Algorithm.QCAlgorithm.UnregisterIndicator ( IndicatorBase indicator )
IndicatorBase
Will unregister an indicator and it's associated consolidator instance so they stop receiving data updates.
Void - This method provides no return.
