Is it a stable coin? Users want to send real money; MOB is just temporary inconvenience necessary for digitalization.
Do you guaranter that users can get out the same £ they put in (minus a clearly disclosed fee, within a reasonable time frame of days to weeks)?

If not, it's useless. I'm a chat app user, not a Forex trader.
No they won't. Debt is a civil matter, not criminal.
Awesome. Next time clients call about their services being down I am totally using this one.
It looks like MobileCoin is a mix of Monero and Stellar Consensus so the transactions will be protected by Ring CT (https://www.getmonero.org/resources/moneropedia/ringCT.html).
Everything can be sensitive if you don’t get informed consent.
>why they are using a Shanghai-based startup for their voice backend platform

because a lot of Chinese companies are really good at voice related services due to the ubiquitous use of it in China. (typing Mandarin is annoying because you have to use pinyin).
I play Minetest on Mac! :)
Mine comes and goes. I find that if I drink from a water bottle with a straw, I’ll get it periodically for about 24 hours after.
What evidence could ever rule it out?
Chamber pots. You've invented chamber pots.
This is a classic problem in philosophy, called the "is-ought problem, or "Hume's law". Hume argues that you can't get to a moral conclusion from facts alone. This is the sort of thing discussed in graduate courses in philosophy. Yet it causes us no end of political trouble when "what's morally right" and "what's reality" come into conflict.

This approach conflicts with the notions of "natural law" and much of Christian morality. It's a rather alien concept to most people. This leads to pressure to try to alter facts to fit a moral scenario.
UBI (your second point) is a common idea advocated by many people other than Bill Murray.

This is the first time I've heard it described as white supremacy and eugenics although I'm sure it won't be the last.
The iphone doesn't have a file browser and apps are sandboxed. So how they would get access to this file without jailbreaking or the backup file is a much better case.

Besides, everyone knows mobile me is a jealous stalkers best friend. And it doesn't even require tech savvy, just access to the iPhone to activate the service is enough.
IIRC, Palm bought the Be intellectual property prior to being bought themselves by HP. Does this mean the new owners get that as well?
Absolutely. They are accepting BitCoin for the convenience of customers, not because they hold a positive opinion of it.
I don't understand, by definition, where is that remote data going to come from, if not another computer ?
Also, peer to peer software has made it easier.
It's funny, if you look at my drafts, most of what I do is just shortening sentences. (I don't think I'm a particularly good writer, and I'm fascinated by good writing, so this is an interesting comment, and I appreciate it).
Where can I find this information about average warehouse worker pay? Also, Amazon suggests $15 per hour is their minimum pay. Is there any information about their average pay?
I’m the Founder of a sub 20 person company and you are right about tableau but also completely wrong about your view. The problem with your tool is anyone who will find this useful can also just solve this problem with JavaScript.

Additionally I think you fell pray to a mistake i my self made about 8 years ago. I built a product thought it was amazing tried to turn it into a company and completely failed. In one of my final meetings about the project someone said “you know you just reinvented Apache yarn here right?... and not in a good way” I had no idea what they were talking about I left the meeting and started power googling they were right 80% of our code was pointless and missing 90% of the features of a pretty generic open source project.

Today I red team any idea I have by assuming someone solved it and I just haven’t found it yet. I ask the smartest people I know “what does this idea feel like?” Before I build anything...

If I could go back in time and tell you one thing it would be “while you may feel like you are fixing excel 100% of your features are in the developer docs for google sheets... a free product”
Spectacular failure of imagination? I mean it's a speech codec, an incremental improvement over the many out there that work fine. We're no longer in a world where voice calls dominate the world's telecom bandwidth usage. We routinely receive a megabyte of Javascript and ads and crap to display a 288 character tweet. Soon there will be 5G everywhere, so we'll get 10MB of JS etc. to see the same 288 character tweet. 1MB is 10+ minutes of full-rate GSM, or a lot more than that of Opus. If Lyra is really free (no blobs) and its computational requirements don't make us churn our phone hardware yet again, then great, it can reduce the already very low cost of voice calls by another smidgen, increasing carrier margins while almost certainly not showing in lower prices to the end user. So at that end of things, it's tolerable, while it would be horrible if (say) it were patented and became a standard, so that FOSS VOIP clients became non-interoperable with what the big vendors were using.

Lyra is more transformative in some extreme niche areas of extremely limited bandwidth, say spacecraft radios or handheld satellite phones or whatever. Those applications already use super low bandwidth codecs that sound like crap. So Lyra won't really save bits, but it will help intelligibility a lot by sounding better in the same bits.

The 1990s were an "age of terrorism". So were the 1980s, the 1970s, and the 1960s.

The existence of occasional destructive acts does not require us to base our society around a half-assed fortress paradigm where we pretend every single thing we value or might create is being targeted by scary, dark-skinned people right this minute.
Absolutely agreed that higher head count should not be a goal; less is more. But it's still a good second question to ask because:

1. It gives a sense of what stage the company is at. E.g. a 50-person company should be well past finding product-market fit. Also, if the asker is considering employment, it gives a sense of how much influence he/she will have.

2. It's more likely to be answered than questions like revenue, gross/net profits, or revenue/profits per employee.
I’m using the iReader extension for Chrome. Works like Safari’s integrated Readability.
It requires g-client (GoogleClient) which is a sub-package of emacspeak.

At the Genius Bar on Saturday (free out-of-warranty repair, to boot) the chick who was doing the sign-in on an iPad used the orientation lock about four times while she checked in the lady ahead of me and myself. I'd say that an orientation-aware app used on a public floor would be extremely needy for this sort of hardware lock.

It's not typical usage, however.
What is the best metric the press could use for measuring private companies' success? Money raised and number employees might be bad, but I'm not sure they're not also the best ones possible.
I'm surprised no one has asked this yet:

How easy is this thing to hack? At $99 for a small ARM system with a 7" screen and battery, this is a damn good deal compared to getting a similar setup with a BeagleBoard.
You're probably right, but there's a button for that.
Ask random C++ developers what their favorite feature of C++ is and you will get a very wide spectrum of answers.

That's what is always said, but is it actually true? I think a couple of answers will be prevalent and at the top of the list:

- Deterministic destruction

- Manual memory management / no GC

- Templates

- C interoperability

Would be fun to actually do such a survey and see if there is more spread than other languages.
Yeah is's quite funny really.
> Even without an ID in the post, you could hash the input and search for a matching value in the DB, right

Hmmm indeed! if we hash incoming value before searching then it would work. So with blackbox it's impossible to tell, I'm sorry.
simple. require everyone to work in cubicles that are closed off where your coworkers cant see you. all voice chats must be done without video and with voice modulation technology so that gender can not play a role. Also, the persons name must always be changed to J Smith to not hint at gender or race.
I don't think your example needs to be quite so verbose.

{
'ul': {
'li': 'hello!'
}
}

I would think it would depend upon the parser.

Regardless, I'd still rather write out HTML instead of JSON for markup.
Same here. Also, this reminds me of a TV program where it showed some Japanese hackers that hacked printers drivers so the motors synchronizes to tunes like super mario bros (couldn't google it for link). Coupling that with this would be super.
Are there industry seminars or travel tradeshows in your area where the airlines come out to interact?

Perhaps small / budget airlines are good targets to start with.

If you can reach out to their customers via a forum, that might indirectly validate your product and bring attention to the airline companies via those customers.
You should watch the video. A great way to illustrate an article like that.
What's their problem with the hoodie?
Seen from another angle, she spent $100,000 of other people's money and is asking to never repay a penny of it.

This is a topic I've been thinking about a lot the last two weeks, since client work has me doing some calculating from federal data on what the current value of a degree in $FOO is likely to be. (I'm sure you will not be surprised that neither religious studies nor women's studies appears near the top of the list.)

I'll blog on that subject if folks are interested in it.

Some of the solutions, like cutting her off at $60k, are just insane. She'd be halfway through her college degree then. If she'd quit then, she'd be unemployed, have no sheepskin, and still owe $60k with no expectation for salary much higher than a generic high school graduate.
hire a part-time personal assistance and make it their job to get you medical appointments.

Too late to edit my own post, but I have since found that there are actually professional medical advocates - a random example I found by looking for somebody in Ohio is this guy:

http://www.thefamilyadvocate.com/what.html

(just to give you the idea)

Sure they seem to specialise in hospitalised people, but that seems to be because they are the very ill ones. I think the OP qualifies. Perhaps it would be possible to hire such a person to navigate the maze of getting to the right specialist, or how to obtain the most appropriate referrals - or any of these mundane matters that are so hard to tackle when one is simply exhausted.
Leave the guy alone already.

Bill G also had a meltdown. Tears and all. Anyone remember?
This was originally branded the Kakai.

http://social.venturebeat.com/2010/01/20/chegg-founders-stea...

www.kakai.com now redirects to www.kno.com

It is a project by the Founder of Chegg.com a service that specializes in textbook rentals.

I'm not really enticed by any of their branding.
That's interesting - do you think there are others that are better suited?
Yeah, it's pretty weird the author did not acknowledge this, especially seeing that the "Genealogical ancestors" column in the table is clearly nonsensical (nonillion ancestors?!)
Why are you replying to the author in here?
Sorry...what countries?
I would love to see a Next SSR output here. This would be killer !
Nothing interesting is going on behind the scenes.

1. The Liberals hold a minority government, and whipping the entire party rank and file into voting against the motion would not prevent it from passing.

2. The cabinet doesn't want to piss China off, and doesn't want to give their opponents ammunition (by voting against the motion), so it didn't show up to the vote.

3. This provides the cabinet with freedom of action, to quietly apologize to China in private, while not looking bad domestically. Or, alternatively, if world sentiment supports this position, and other parliaments and governments follow suit, this gives them the option to come out in support of this condemnation.

4. This will make a few rounds in the news cycle, maybe result in a small adjustment in foreign policy, but will not result in a major political shift in Canada.

tl;dr - the opposition is hammering the Liberal Cabinet on the morality of this issue, the rank-and-file Liberals go along with it, because they either have a conscience, or don't want to lose elections, while the Cabinet is playing Realpolitik.

For Americans, you can think of the Cabinet as the executive branch of government - closer in powers to the President, and their subordinate agencies. But unlike a President, the Cabinet, and the Prime Minister [1] can be removed by a 50/50 vote in Parliament.

[1] The Prime Minister in particular can also be removed by a 50/50 vote of their own party.
Yes. v5, a Perl 5 compiler written in Perl 6, is promising tech with potentially huge long term (10 years) strategic consequences for Perl 5 and Perl. But it's very early days and it correctly handles only the simplest of modules. I'd hazard a guess that currently less than 1% of CPAN modules pass their tests when loaded by v5.

But Inline::Perl5 is a completely different animal. It handles modules using XS or whatever fine. See my nearby comments for further details.
I find that mitigates the not always lowest prices.
Come for the savings, stay for the service.
I don't know exactly but it was no more than 3k and a decent amount of my time.
... and it's not likely at this point that anyone else WILL do it better.
That one is a lot about Node.js performance. This one is a little better:

The interpolation was about 2-3 minutes out and in that time it didn't poll the tfl server as far as I could see. However, when I hit refresh the location was pretty accurate.
You can also try other programming languages screencasts. Choose the top stack overflow questions and make screencasts for them :)
I was imagining my mental panic response for THIS instance:

- companies refusing to fly people back from Saudi Arabia to the United States

- us putting all people of the interested groups, for example, all Muslims and family members of anyone Arabic looking, into special hospitals to make sure they don't spread the disease, even if we don't have it.

- violent outrage if our family members end up sick, and there is a mosque down the road.

This particular article seemed to make it pretty clear that the yearly pilgrimage often results in illness from all the populations coming together with their own unique resistances. This particular pilgrimage, with these numbers, tends to be with a single population. That population could be seen as the source of the disease, and bad things happen.

That's the sort of 'panic' I'm thinking of and it's not good. Oh, and the reason I'm saying this level of panic is due to the currently estimated 56% death rate after extreme signs are shown.
This would also suggest that once AMD gets their USB4 act together (hopefully starting with Rembrandt?), Mobile Ryzen should become an option.
We’re outpacing Moore’s law

2mb or 4mb would have helped, yes. I don’t think it would have been too big of a problem, but I don’t think it would help much either. We’d just be back against the limit.

If we want to really succeed we need innovation.
Unless you're Iran. Then we starve you.
I also tried that. Micropub is hard. MicroBlog is... going there but still not good enough.
The short description is a bit too short; this is mind blowing!

Redbean is a portable, single file executable webserver which also acts as a zip-file for the static content it hosts, and runs on Linux + Mac + Windows + FreeBSD + OpenBSD + NetBSD + BIOS without any recompilation...

You can manage the static content using standard pkzip tooling!
Now that's what I call thinking out of the box!

Edited: some rewording and breathing space
Figure one thing about the 6ghz band is it'll be new and less congested.. at least for at least a little while. Right now i use one of those DFS "radar ones" which seem unused by most nearby APs and i see a lot - i assume it's manually opt in/more expensive equipment.

I'm on the 24th floor in downtown vancouver and see 45 APs and none are using the DFH bands.
Bill Gates claims expertise in 2 things, global poverty/health and energy.

Given he's spent the last decade studying both, and he can afford to fly the top experts in both fields to teach him 1 on 1, I have no doubts that he has had the means to learn a lot about both fields.
In section 2 it says - "In cloud apps, the data on the server is treated as the primary, authoritative copy of the data; if a client has a copy of the data, it is merely a cache that is subordinate to the server."

Exactly! Local copy is just treated as cache in those apps which offer offline support. They are called "Offline-also" apps, not Offline-first apps.

I miss those days when I could just buy the software and own it. Collaboration can happen in offline-first apps too, it's tricky but it can be done.

Everything is online-first web apps these days because of the reasons listed in section 3.2.1. There is one more reason for popularity of online-only web apps:

When startups are testing their idea, it's far easier to put together an online-first app than offline-first. It's easier to get traction comparatively because it just requires a browser.
When they get some traction, then a desktop app is a low priority to them.

I want to bring back offline-first desktop apps back. I've already started with Brisqi[1] an offline-first personal Kanban app. Hope more people take an offline-first approach.

For similar reasons, I could write a whole essay on why we developers need to create a better open source cross-platform framework to develop offline-first desktop apps with permissive licensing.

HN is not representative of pretty much anything. It is very biased self selected sample, basically.
>"They should have just stopped extending it after C++11."

For the uniformed such as myself, what happened beginning at C++14? What exactly was the fundamental shift?
But why is a company's right to speech more important than a real person's civil rights? A company is a mere legal fiction and it's rights should not be given equal weight to those of actual human beings, especially for a corporation as large as Amazon.

Edit: I know the issue becomes murkier for things like mom and pop shops and sole proprietorships, but I am willing to make distinctions based on scale.
very misleading headline
You can activate typechecking in groovy with @CompileStatic. It's an all or nothing thing though (for the entire file).
I have similar theory regarding bipolar junction transistors. In schools NPN is often taught first in great detail and PNP is then just glanced over. That's why most circuits use NPN and fewer use PNP because people understand NPN better.
I had to type in this box more times than I'm willing to admit to produce something that didn't violate the guidelines.

Let's examine why this is problematic:

- This will absolutely be leveraged on anyone in a precarious position. It's their ultimate out. Minority groups, majority groups, it doesn't matter - you're in trouble and need a platform to tell your story? Not happening on Twitch. Expect more to sign on to this idea; it is the ultimate tool for cancel culture proponents.

- Foreword: I am not making a constitutional argument. Private companies now own most of the highways we use for speech, much less widespread speech. Sure, Newspapers and mail can be argued, but there's plenty of examples where they had to tolerate nasty messages for some self-imposed access to speech principles. Secondarily, nobody used a newspaper to talk to their auntie, while Twitch isn't Facebook or Twitter self-expression is not limited to certain platforms. That is lost on tech companies.

This new stage of American moralism is pretty tiring no matter what group or direction it comes from. I can't imagine staying in this country much longer.
No, I don't think I'll be able to read anything in 1000 years, not given my life expectancy.

More seriously, on one hand, we have pretty good redundancy, since it's so easy to copy things.

On the other hand, the durability of the mediums we use to store information is probably not as good as writing stuff in stone or even on paper since in the worst case scenario, depending on the format used, minor corruption can make the data completely worthless.

Add to that the fact that future archaeologists will have to reverse-engineer the whole stack from hardware to software if they want to have a chance to make something of the (probably corrupt) data they have on hand. It probably puts the bar even higher than understanding Egyptian hieroglyphs.

Oh, and also add to that the signal vs. noise ratio of the data we produce today and the amount of data we produce. It would probably be interesting to see what picture future historians paint of our times with what they have on hand.
I built a BTU-measuring device for a british customer, and he explained they had been using the metric system since the 70's.
Because the HTTP shows up as insecure, for one.
As someone who will have to relocate to the bay area soon, all of this is incredibly worrying. I thought it was just SF that had major opposition to new development. I didn't realize that issue extended to the south bay as well.
I think because it is more a consequence of human nature than governmental activity (though in some measure they're intertwined, and so it's hard to say objectively).
There is none, that I'm aware of -- and I've worked with IT for a couple of grocery markets.

Building such a database system will be trivial. They don't need anything fancy.

HOWEVER: your big stumbling blocks will be integration with NCR and other very, very proprietary hardware; and adoption. Once a store has a system in place, they're very reluctant to mess with it, because the systems are fragile and downtime can cost a lot of money in a hurry.

If you get curious about how to hack older NCR market systems, let me know. Email's in my profile.
Point 4 is known as "Evergreening" and it surely happens. An example I can think of off the top of my head is Lexapro.
Whether it will work seamlessly may depend on the receiver, but I have a Chromecast plugged into an HDMI port on my Yamaha unit. (Note, there is nothing plugged into the HDMI out port on the receiver.) This setup works flawlessly for streaming audio throughout my house.
Some people say they had to use an HDMI audio extractor to achieve this, but that was not necessary in my case.
It's the Internet Archive's project. (Jason Scott works for the Archive, but also has his own projects. This one happens to be an IA project.)
People die. Pretty much the same as what happens when an anti-aircraft weapon is used against an ordinary aircraft.
I meant to say here 'no Arduino like analog in pins'...
On most sites like this a little context can be added by the title on the social news site, but Hacker News does not allow that. Moderators will change the title to whatever the page has.
It reminds me of the useless Craftsman “gift” SKU Craftsman puts on display ends during the holidays: a combo crescent, hammer and pry iron[1]

Aha! That’s what I’ll get good old uncle Bill.

I think it took Leatherman ten years to get something out the door —but that was the 70s when you didn’t have the prototyping we have today.

OP, are you personally involved in this and/or go to Stanford?
Lots of successful kickstarters are artists, musicians, ... that can't prefund a production run, but have a product that's a clear scope of how this kind of thing is made (book, artprints, ...) and a large chunk of the work already done. That is still not 100% risk free, but an overall success outside your two categories.
