I'm not sure about this, but does every person using an exchange get their own address?

My impression was that they don't and that a lot of transactions are actually settled within the exchange using good ol' relational databases and not the blockchain.

If that's the case, then all of these people will get lumped into just a few exchange controlled adresses, which will give an exaggerated impression of concentration.
Initial price tag doesn't matter as much as you might think. Most people lease their cars, they will be trading off extra costs on the lease for lower fuel costs.

I work with Kotlin at my day job but am also active in the Haxe open source community. I really like both languages, and I don't think that Kotlin is objectively better than Haxe.

In practice, there are things about Haxe I miss in Kotlin, but also things about Kotlin I miss in Haxe. Just to name a few examples:

- I'm missing Haxe's pattern matching and macros in Kotlin

- I'm missing Kotlin's level of IDE support and robust null safety (with ?: and ?. operators) in Haxe

(Haxe does have experimental opt-in null safety, but it doesn't seem production-ready yet)
So neat! Wonderful UI
> there is a market of people that like originals, except now there is a greater assurance of it being the original

for it to have some value there must be consensus around it.

if I have the same exact copy of the digital art and I am selling it in a market that does not recognize NFT as proof (think about China that doesn't even recognize patents) what value does this hold?

or if two competing entities are both claiming to have emitted the one true token, which one do I trust?

we are thinking today: the artist can tell which one is the good one, but what if is the future and the artist is dead? do we need a token that identifies the artist statement?
and who verifies that the content of the email was not forged?

isn't a piece of paper with a signature in a closet inside a notary office a simple mechanism?

What makes NFT special, except that probably collector are actually paying to collect NFTs and not the item attached to them?

I know many collectors, I don't see them collecting digital fingerprints
Seriously? You are really asking the government to disappear people?
This person, who seems to have more intimate knowledge of capitol IT, also mimics the concern: https://twitter.com/neurovagrant/status/1346964347684179970
The president told the protestors to go to the poorly defended capital, never disavowed them, refuses to apologize.
Blaming Fox is really disingenuous. Fox became popular as an alternative because of the mainstream media’s reaction to George W. Bush, in particular mocking him for his religiousity.

If you look at surveys, people understand Fox has a bias. But it’s very hard to listen to news from people who don’t appear to share your basic values.

Consider this summer. We can debate the merits of whether violent rioting, setting police stations on fire, etc., is a justified response in certain circumstances. But the public has divergent opinions on this, and journalists have a pretty uniform opinion on this issue. This is a divergence that didn’t exist during the 20 years between when CNN was started and when Fox got popular. But it does now. And it’s very hard to watch coverage of this issue when the person behind the news desk obviously sees the world very differently than you.

Fox didn’t create this divergence. It responded to a divergence that grew. And it’s a divergence that’s become more extreme as media consolidation has resulted in most media being beamed from the coasts into the rest of the country.
> only a day after nationalists stormed the nation's capitol with the intent to disrupt the democratic process in favor of an autocratic dictator.

I'm more curious to ask "why" people no longer trust the Government?

The real failure is that we've locked down society, destroyed the economy, and hastily thrown together an election so rife with problems that it's led to an environment where millions of people do not trust the outcome. The same leaders implementing the lockdowns are meanwhile dictating orders from tropical resorts or caught breaking their own rules in blatant shows of hypocrisy.

The States have not done an adequate job quelling election fraud suspicions and as a result the President and his supporters no longer believe the result. Can you blame them? Is blaming them productive? It fails to address the problem and it won't go away. Calling them white supremascists, nationalists, fasicsts, racists, and the other explicatives that have been used for the past four years is only going to further divide this nation and have the opposite intended outcome.

Did the media single out and target the people supporting, promoting, and engaging in the 3+ months of left-wing riots this past summer? Most of the media pundits now calling this latest event an insurrection, were previously condoning and explaining away "mostly peaceful" protests as multiple cities burned, as violent agitators stormed the Federal Courthouse in Portland for over 100 days, threw bombs, lit fires, burned cars, killed people (chop/chaz/portland), and more. And let's not pretend that had Trump won the election, Antifa and other left-wing groups wouldn't be over a month in of the same thing.

The level of hypocrisy and disconnect is so startling it's scary. What I see is a total lack of understanding across the spectrum, a total failure to acknowledge both sides and apply standards consistently and unequivocally, a total failure of communication and decency. I'm not sure how the country moves in a positive direction.
No, and the power output is an estimate from calibration. It doesn't actually measure your realtime power.
Why not make a local WhatsApp<->Signal bridge using Matrix (https://matrix.org/bridges/) and a disposable SIM card, and just use Signal app on your phone?
That's exactly what the other side says about BLM.

With that attitude -- that there are tens of millions of people who can't be trusted or reasoned with and need to be locked up and silenced -- civil war is inevitable.

"Those people" are human beings too. You might not agree with them and they might be wrong, but they're not very different from you. They're just exposed to different culture and information.
This will come off as arrogance, but I don't feel like you have any kind of technical experience. "Looking cool" has nothing to do with the OS, programming language or technology stack you're using.

Now, to answer your question: pick whatever you're most comfortable with. Software startups fail not because they are built with PHP instead of NodeJS, but for entirely other reasons.
This is the problem with 'responsible disclosure.' Companies will just drag their feet indefinitely, like an undergrad who stalls and manages to talk the instructor into assigning them an incomplete instead of just failing them outright. Just flunk them and don't reward that behavior: full disclosure.

All the problems people point out about the current state of driverless cars seems silly. Like an obscured speed limit sign is going to stop all autonomous cars. Please.

We already have park and ride buses, I think autonomous cars (buses) will fit in just fine. No one cares if we need to carve out some 'auto-bus lanes' and traffic lights for them, sort of like trams used to be. If it saves money, then countries in Europe that are still in recession will be all over it.

Here's a scratchpad for the little schemer in Clojure I created while working through the book. I hope it helps anyone interested in reading it. https://github.com/grinnbearit/theoretical-clojure/blob/mast...
How many function objects are created to generate that result? From a certain point of view, that is interesting too of course.
Strawman: Arrington specifically referenced Dodd's insane regulations + net worth increase in the latter's financial regulation bill, which most certain would have screwed things up. As it is, the current compromise of excluding an angel's primary home from his calculated net worth is going to remove a lot of angels from the game.

Accidentally publishing a document that creates a serious operational crisis, thus putting him in military prison for the rest of his life.
Brad Manning violated the very core values of integrity involved in operating as an IA. In my opinion he doesn't deserve the 'whisteblower' status some people are trying to protect him under.

Leaking a single controversial guncam footage because his conscience gave in is one thing, but continuing to leak documents and material and then boast about it to someone like Lamo is another. As a former Marine, I have seen and done things that keep me awake at night, but I will never violate my own integrity by doing what Manning did and end up endangering more lives.

Lamo ended up turning Manning in for another 15 minutes of fame. Anyone ethical with real national interest in mind would distance himself from this mess. Either way the leaked material will end up doing nothing but costing more lives.
that was also new to me. It also doesn't work on most of my (non-Linux) systems with their bsd-derived find.
>In one experiment conducted at Cornell University, for example, half a class of students was allowed to use Internet-connected laptops during a lecture, while the other had to keep their computers shut. Those who browsed the Web performed much worse on a subsequent test of how well they retained the lecture's content.

What if half the class was allowed to read a book during a lecture and the other half was not? Would you expect the results to be any different?
I think the main problem with Digg is the community. There's too much focus on the people and not enough on the content. This creates a sort of "timeocratic" social platform where the people that can spend the most time on the site control the site. On hacker news and reddit, submissions can rise to the front page solely based on content rather than social position. This allows new users to submit content, creating a more diverse upcoming feed, and more interesting content in the long run.

Adding more social-oriented features will simply amplify the submission problem for new users.
Most standard random routines have a period of 2^32 or 31. What they don't usually have is random low order bits. They're often linear congruential generators, just a multiply and an add.

notRandom() might be usefully descriptive in this case.
Yep, makes sense. Which is why it's the first option in the list (coffee, beer, ...)

Just wanted to say this is a really good comment, thanks for putting it out there.
The issue with lacity.org is the TLD, which creates confusion amongst the general public.

Legitimate domains for government entities should ALL be on .gov, which should be rigorously controlled.

Then I can tell my family to trust any .gov site, and assume that anything else is fraudulent.

lacity.org undermines this.
Sometimes it matters who finds the issue more than what it is....
The artificial scarcity applies to copies of an individual piece of software, rather than the scarcity of different pieces of software.

Once you build it, almost the only way to achieve scarcity is through IP law.
I've found that most press statement that contain the term "we believe" go on with some utterly ridiculous mental gymnastics to justify shady behaviour. This one is no exception:

> [IAB Tech LAB svp of Membership and Operations said:] “They believe no third party can be trusted. We take a different position: that trust should be established directly between consumers and the brands, and publishers they trust, and with the third parties that those brands and publishers trust.”

Question to that guy: What act specifically would establish that trust? My browser downloading JavaScript from half a dozen companies that I've never heard of?

Or is their position that by opening a link to some web page, I declared my boundless, irrevocable trust in that site, all third-parties that site delegates to, all third-parties those third-parties delegate to, etc etc as infinitum?

Where else in life do you get this understanding of "trust"?
"Even systems with well-defined architectures are prone to structural erosion. The relentless onslaught of changing requirements that any successful system attracts can gradually undermine its structure. Systems that were once tidy become overgrown as PIECEMEAL GROWTH gradually allows elements of the system to sprawl in an uncontrolled fashion." http://www.laputan.org/mud/

There is that old adage "perfect is the enemy of the good", well I would argue that "working is the enemy of the good" as well. When your "average" engineer spends 2 to 3 years at a company how often do they have to pick up the messes they make? Rarely? Never? It doesn't pay to be a good citizen in that case - it pays to be (as another poster pointed out) fast.

> The time, patience and level of enthusiasm required to learn the craft to the level you can develop a piece of software that is well-designed, performant, easy to reason about and an overall joy to work with is about 10 to 100x what the average engineer is willing to put in.

If software is hard, and average people are not ~willing~ to put in the work to make it less so, doesn't that make them lazy? Willfully and willingly lazy at that.

> Number 3: Software Engineers are like Surgeons, except the twelve years of training is received on the job.

Look around you,how many engineers do you know who's code you would be willing to bet your life on? The problem is that every engineer thinks they are a surgeon (and a good one at that) when many of them wouldn't even make good nurses.
Edit and Continue appeared in VS 4, 5 or 6 (can’t remember which one exactly), right before the first VS for .NET which I think was released in 2002. It supported C/C++ out of the box and required quite complex linker plumbing. Second .NET VS was 7.1, releases in 2003, before MS switched to confusing year-versioning in user-facing contexts and number versioning internally (including installation directories, project files, etc), which is made way worse because these days internal versions and years are off by two or three units (ie, Vs2018 is internally version 16 or 17, can never remember). My commercial vi/vim emulator, ViEmu, supported VS.NET 7.1/2003 on its initial release in 2005, and I still maintain that build, as in I build for that target every new ViEmu release and occasionally use it (it’s a much leaner and more stable debugging environment than more recent VS versions).
MMX then instead of SSE?
wiki is saying she did stripteases for the camera.

She originally gave access to the stream for free and then later started charging for it. She also originally blocked it during sex but then stopped. Makes me think she had a "people will pay to see me bang" motivation.
And likely a net negative for many peoples mental wellbeing.

I'd imagine HN is a pretty significant selection bias for individuals who are not so interested in social interactions with people in person but that's not necessarily true for the rest of society.

I personally find the current situation very mentally taxing but not because I want to necessarily talk to people but rather from a prevaling sense of exclusion, and lack of personal freedom and choice. You may think this is acceptable but for me it's actually quite painful psychologically.

The Gleevec was probably an order of magnitude cheaper or more for the Polish government than in the US:

https://www.statista.com/statistics/312011/prices-of-gleevec...

And doctors in Poland are probably not earning a few hundred thousand USD per year, and similar for nurses wages and all the other people in the healthcare chain. Quick googling shows wages might be an order of magnitude cheaper also.

I assume healthcare providers in Poland are also not subject to the legal liability they would be in the US.

Yes, the US has some extra administrative costs due to the billing nonsense of non taxpayer funded healthcare and overhead of health insurance companies, but bottom line is healthcare costs more in the US because everyone earns more top to bottom in the US, and supply of healthcare and medicine is constrained.
These kinds of discussions are common with articles about deep fake video and audio. While I do not disagree with your point, here are two quick thoughts:

- We have had perfect image manipulation capabilities for quite some time now. We have had written text manipulation capabilities for hundreds of years.

- People will continue to believe what they believe, whether there is deep fake video and audio or not.
You could be transphobic without being a nazi, even though it probably helps. I believe most of the world at the time was *phobic.
Correct - though as designed that's a tooling problem, not a spec problem. Consider the pre-web world: You don't have reusable components in your printer, you manage stylesheets and templates in your word processor.

The original assumption from TBL was there would be much richer tooling to allow everyone to compose HTML without knowing tags, but for various reasons that's not the direction Andreesen et al took Netscape. And third-party tooling (like SiteMill) end up focusing on developers and evolved into things like DreamWeaver.

Hence the mess we're in today: the world's greatest publishing platform, and it's near-impossible for non-technical users to start publishing directly to it as conceived. Good news for Wordpress and CMS vendors, but a road sadly not taken in so many other aspects
This is reductionist to the point of being insulting. The problem is that when you interview people, the way you look has an impact on how the interviewer perceives and is able to communicate with you (implicit bias).

The flip side is that when you have a little difficulty finding common ground with a person, it challenges you to find a way to relate. Which means listening to their experiences. Which generally makes for better products. But what it means is that the interviewer often judges the wrong criteria, and most interviews are about how well you are able to communicate to your interviewer (and not the other way around).

When people talk about “intersectionality” this is what they mean. You can be privileged in one way but disadvantaged in another. Some intersectionalities are visible, and some are not. The more dissimilarity in your experiences, the more problems you will have communicating. Working through those problems and learning from one another is an invaluable part of the process — if you can make it through the interview in the first place.
I don't disagree, it's just been a change in my own perspective of late... kind of like when you stop believing in magic and start understanding the reactions of a variety of elements. It starts to seem so... straightforward. Puts discovery into perspective.
All the Leroys I know are white. I can honestly say I've never heard Leroy used to describe a black person in a disparaging way.
Two spaces is correct if, and only if, type is to be set in a monospaced font or you are using a text processing toolchain that does something sane and sensible with two spaces in the input text, like uses it to distinguish between sentence-ending punctuation and, say, periods used to end abbreviations.

Actually using two spaces at the end of a sentence in proportionally-spaced output text is just plain horrible.

An example of project that impresses me to no end: The Monte Carlo Revolution in Go, http://remi.coulom.free.fr/JFFoS/JFFoS.pdf, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monte_Carlo_tree_search. Took a simple well-known technique, applied it to a simple, well known, but notoriously difficult problem, and got better results than much more "sophisticated" attempts prior. You can code that in a couple of weeks.

The art of matching a problem with a solution with minimal effort is much much more valuable that spouting out thousands upon thousands lines of shoddy code with poor understanding of the fundamentals.

It's ironic how history rhymes. The "enterprise rockstar"(1) programmer of today is very close to the stakhanovite of yesteryear, building his reputation on an army of people making his code actually work. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexey_Stakhanov#Record_dispute...

(1) I use "enterprise rockstar" here in a technical narrow sense of someone that spits out a ton of code that kind of works, but to actually operate requires vast amounts of support effort. Force diluters. There are true rockstars out there, but they usually specialize in being force multipliers.
