Can someone explain to me the technical reason as to why it costs $10, when it used to cost pennies (I think)?

Has the proportion of transactions gone up compared to the miners?
They'll say the tracker must because of [dumb semi-plausible reason], nod at you, and keep it. Take it to a lawyer.
Simple. Astronomy does not hinder Starlink in any way. You cannot take the inaction of society and turn it into an entitlement.

By the same token you have no right to demand that people don't ride a bicycle on streets, just because up until now very few did (unless there is an explicit law against it, of course, but here it is perfectly legal).
@YC Leadership: The Chinese Article [1] reads synonymously to: YC China was RENAMED, not aborted. That's highly different from your English statement.
LOL: even the website ycchina.com redirects to MiraclePlus. http://www.ycchina.com/

They even have the YC logo on their website and claim to have funded Airbnb, Dropbox etc. Be careful to read their whole website. This whole website of MiracleMinus is extremely dishonest. I would be very careful not to be connected too much to dishonest and lack-of-integrity people like Qi.

The design might be intentional. Knowing that they would not be able to fulfill all orders of a beautiful Cybertruck, this might be a smart move. Reduces number of potential orders, proves a EV pick-up truck point, and sets an extreme price baseline, which for other manufacturers could be very hard to reach.
Hackers assemble zombie clusters with hundreds of thousands of machines, if not millions of machines, each with multiple CPUs.

The number of CPUs dedicated to Bitcoin mining must be in the hundreds of millions.

1000 guesses per second * 100 million CPUs... good luck with your linear work factor KDF protecting your short password.
Is it a good idea to make it so shiny? Coupled with the slab sides, you get quite strong reflections. Could be annoying at best to other drivers and potentially dangerous.
Dude, I grew up in Fresno. Duck yes I want bullet proof glass.

Right but you’re a programmer on HN (same as most of us here I’d assume).

My point was that we’re not typical users - most users don’t use a traditional computer outside of work anymore as the phone fills that gap for them.

Microsoft isn’t threatened by Linux because they have way bigger things to focus on these days - ubiquitous mobile devices and proving Windows’ relevance in an age of web browsers everywhere.
Yeah - some. Nothing recent.
Apparently I did not hit on it here, b/c this has been up for 6hrs w/o a single comment, vote or even a spit wad...
Thanks for your feedback! The elevated permissions were for features we planned but didn't implement. We have since reverted to more restricted permissions.

I and my friends are busy studying for finals, but once we have a free moment we will get to fixing the other issues too. =)

The "conflict" has been going on ever since the Berezovsky received asylum in the UK. He continues to fund activities against the Russian government, but the UK refuses to extradite him. The reason all the politicians in the UK freaked out over Litvinenko is that it puts London's reputation as the leading safe haven for defectors/dissidents/mafiosos and their money in doubt. A big reason that London is the world's financial capital is that it is also the world's money laundering capital.

Of course none of this applies to people like Assange because they don't have any money or come from countries the US doesn't like.
There seems to be a pattern where you're much less likely to succeed as a younger founder, but when you do succeed, you're more likely to succeed big.

I can think of a few reasons why that might be so. Big companies that change whole industries tend to be started on the leading edge of sweeping technological changes (eg. the PC for Microsoft and Apple and Dell, the Internet for Google and EBay and FaceBook); usually these trends are too minor for an established career professional to bother looking at. Even if they do look at them, someone inexperienced has the advantage of looking at them fresh, without any preconceptions. A large number of the original dot-com bust companies were started by 30- and 40-somethings, and the bulk of them just imitated the brick-and-mortar shopping experience or old media experience. It took someone without industry experience to realize that search would be bigger than content, and that social networking isn't just media consumption.
You also need to consider the source of the data. From what I understand, much of Mattermark's data comes from Crunchbase, and the categories in the Mattermark chart[1] mirror categories on Crunchbase.

Crunchbase is by no means a comprehensive source of all deals. As an example, I work with a company that raised a seed round in Q4 2014. Crunchbase does not have this funding despite the fact that it's public.

For the deals that Crunchbase does have, the categorization can be very spotty. For instance, you can find $2+ million party rounds with institutional investors categorized as "Seed" while there are sub $1 million rounds categorized as "Venture" or even "Series A." There are also oddball categories like "Debt Financing" and "Convertible Note" which in some cases appear to be the same thing.

In my mind this is almost certainly a case of garbage in, garbage out.

I grew up in Germany and we suffered a lot from badly translated Games (and worse so in dubbed movies). Almost everyone of my generation ended up just learning English and played the original instead. Most of the time that was all that was available anyways.

Except of course for the games translated by Boris Schneider. They arguably were better in German because of his excellent (and hilarious) translations, most notably the Monkey Islands.

Apparently his efforts earned him a Wikipedia page: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boris_Schneider-Johne

Much of my early English vocabulary was attained by playing Leisure Suit Larry with a dictionary in my hand.
This is the better option, since it does not hide sites which simply contain the word "pinterest", but are not pinterest.
Which sites exactly? I’ve never seen it actually happen and I’d like to experiment.
Programmers are always debugging their surroundings :)
As much as I've come to dislike pinterest and quora I'd not be happy with google dropping either from results. There are plenty of other "reasons" that will "accidentally" creep in as acceptable later.

The potential for even more scope creep is real.

That said, various controls to let me exclude my definition of "junk results" are still a good idea.
If you have design requirements that warrant using an auto-router, I don't think you'd be posting on HN asking for it in an open source CAD package.

No, they're not for getting anything going quickly. Route it yourself so your boards don't look like absolute garbage. Unlike a compiled programming language, aesthetics matter, and you get no optimization from an autorouted board unless you're doing something like routing the exact same trace a hundred times over for some super simple parallel bus.

Which, again, I'm pretty sure you'd know what you were doing enough to not ask about an autorouter feature on HN if that were the case.

This coming to you from an early 20's "boomer".
I also suspect the quality has dropped. It may just be because I'm not too big on sweets, or my palate becoming dull with age, but when I had a bit of Halloween candy recently it all tasted like wax and sugar. Even things that were favorites when I was a kid (Butterfingers and Whoppers in particular) were bland and flavorless compared to what I remembered.
It was an expression of creativity one might have if they spend the entirety of their time on something, and how a good deal of that is lost when you have to tend to adult life. There was absolutely no judgment on the value of the work. It’s neither Tao-level math nor delusional mumbo-jumbo.
I’ve read rumors about this, but I’ve never experienced it on any hotel/airline/car rental’s website. I know people that work at chain hotels and they set the price, or the computer does based on shopping the other hotels around it, but never based on who is searching.

I’ve tried searching flight prices by remoting into someone else’s computer far away and comparing to mine, and I’ve always gotten the same priced even though I’m not logged in or anything. Ditto for car rentals.

I don’t use travel agents so I can’t say for any other kind of sites.
Drag and drop upload hangs at 0% w/ Safari 4.0.2 and Flash 10,0,32,18.
I have a feeling that the reason some of these policies are going into effect (or getting expanded) is due to the increased dialog about rising tuition costs. They'd rather make it affordable for those who need the aid, so they can keep on getting the high tuition from those who can afford it. That way, they avoid any legislative action that would crush their money making machine.
As StatusPage.io is a YC-backed startup, I wonder how this affects them... Do they feel threatened in any way? Though I guess they're really offering a service, not just a download

I've used amazon go. It is as far as I can tell very low friction. I'm not 100% sure how they figured out what I got but it was correct in my case.
I don't really understand your point. I think most people would agree that TLS ought to be considered baseline, as sites are often (even in this thread) ridiculed harshly on HN for NOT using TLS.

>The risk profile is somewhat lower now that HTTPS is prevalent, but it's still unnecessarily exposing at least one side of the conversation to literally anyone. Most of the time, you're better off just using your ordinary connection

I think this is simply wrong, and lacks any threat model at all. Why do you care that encrypted bits can be sniffed by an exit node? The node can't even determine the 2nd hop, much less the origin.
Aren't we facing the exact same problem, but now rehashed in the cloud?

A lot of companies are running applications that rely heavily on AWS managed services. If you're tied to DynamoDB or Athena, you're in no better position than being tied to IBM mainframes.
I'm curious as to for how long you've been using this setup specifically in regard to Nextcloud, and how many and what volume of files you store in it?

I've set up a few Nextcloud instances in the last 2 years on Digital Ocean VPSs and Raspberry Pis and I ran into so many problems and difficulties which scaled with the quantity and size of files I hosted on it. I took care in setting up everything to a relatively solid standard (memcache etc.), but I found Nextcloud to be so unreliable for syncing particularly with the official Android and Linux clients. Plus, there was the whole botched version 20 upgrade.

I find Nextcloud tries to solve too many problems turning it into a bloated mess even for a moderately experienced user.

For file storage only, I've found Syncthing on a Raspberry Pi at home syncing over Zerotier (for when I'm not at home) to be a much more robust, user-friendly and scalable solution, despite it syncing whole folders only.
Like, does an SGX enclave attest that meltdown is patched in microcode? That's one way to pull the keys out.

The recentish work to get read write access to some Intel CPU's microcode can probably break SGX too. I wouldn't be surprised if the ME code execution flaws could be used that way too.
Fox News is already amazingly biased and censured world wide - claiming you need even worse liars to help you feel better about "balance" makes no sense.

Synthetic Minds (YC S18) | REMOTE will be considered | $120k+ | All engineering team

Synthetic Minds is building program synthesizers, i.e., automation that can write code. Think of what we are building as a compiler that takes code and translates it to theorem proving, so that we can build automation that can understand code almost as close to a human. If it can understand code, with sufficient compute it can even synthesize it.

For the kinds of technical problems we handle, look at https://synthetic-minds.com/pages/conference/2019/#program

We are an all engineering team (including PhDs and ex-Googlers) backed by Y Combinator, Khosla Ventures and Pantera Capital. We are currently in Seattle and SF and are looking for people with significant engineering experience.

I confess I made the assumption that this was a lateral move. If OP is moving from a 16 bedroom palace to a 25 sq meter flat, I may need to revisit my calculations. The main point is that the world is going bat shit crazy right now, and anyone who approached messed situations with calm, reserve, and a bit of cash is going to ahead of most people.

Not all humans sit alike.

At work, I've had an Herman Miller Aeron for about 18 months. It's a solid chair, as is the Think, the Leap, the Mirra... except for me. I don't sit completely upright, and I tend to have my posture degrade into a half-slouch at times. I need a very firm surface. Sometimes I tend to sit on one of my legs, and that non-uniform pressure eventually forces the thigh support foam out and onto the floor.

With this in mind, the Aeron, and the other aforementioned chairs, fall short since I don't fit the intended use case. It'd be like teaching me to "type correctly" despite being able to type at 90-100wpm with a horrible, bastardized technique.

I use an Eames molded armchair. It's polyethylene with aluminum wire legs. The arms are at the perfect height, and provide enough support, but the polyethylene still has enough flex in it. It shrugs off my shoes. And it's much cheaper than any of the other chairs, will outlive me, as well as being better looking and 100% recyclable. If you presented it as an original option, I wouldn't of even considered it. However after hours and hours of sitting in chairs, I struggle to think of one that might suit me better.

I also don't have lounge chairs that force an upright posture (van de Rohe's "Barcelona", and Jacobsen's "Egg" come to mind). Sometimes I want to slouch, even if I'm talking to you. And when no one's around, I guarantee you I'll be slouching.

In any place other than school it would be called collaboration. In school it's punished. Funny system we have.

There needs to be some serious eye-opening in this world when it comes to education.
This is actually really sad for me. Mena Trott and I were kind of bloggy friends back in the day when I ran "the tinyblog", and she ran "Dollarshort". We were two pretty darn early bloggers and it was still a small ecosystem.

One day she told me that Ben was going to turn the custom blogging tool he wrote for her into a product and wanted to know if I wanted to try installing it myself, with Ben supporting me over IM.

That installation (many times upgraded) is possibly the 2nd oldest Movable Type installation after Mena's.

I was overjoyed at their success and a little sad to see WordPress eventually eat their lunch and their other product fail to gain traction. I wish them success in all their future endeavors.
Supposably.

Hi bmelton,

Looks like you were active around the TC Disrupt time, which was very busy for us (we've added two datacenters since then). We generally make websites about 30% faster on average.
I think a key differentiation with Slack is their design, and that they provide clients for both mobile, web and desktop. I can't think of another product that has done this well.
Maybe in the US (but I think thats debatable). Not certain for the Rest of the World, for example the EU sees regulation as being pro-consumer - it protects the consumer from bad practices from a company.

To me, its clear there is a non-zero risk that both businesses could get squeezed by regulation - the investors are betting that there won't be an impact from regulation or that the cost of following the regulation will be worth it (which you'd expect if you've got the scale to follow through).
A better approach is to just name your price, adjusted for the benefits you will have to pay out of your pocket. In Brazil, my contractor rate is about twice my full-time employee rate to account for all benefits I'll have to pay on my own and the reduced income taxes I'll pay.
I appreciate detailed spec, but it would be nice to have some TL;DR version of how is this supposed to work.

I do like putting names on the front page though.
The global banking system has always been eventually consistent (overnight reconciliation, etc). Eventual consistency is essential whenever communication latency exceeds the acceptable time to receive acknowledgement that an operation was performed.

The limiting factor used to be the speed of a horse, though now it is some approximation of the speed of light.
This comment demonstrates one of the fundamental reasons economies in Europe are floundering. It is seen as reasonable that companies be forced to keep surplus employees. In France you don't hire someone as much as adopt them, you are now responsible for them. The most terrifying thing for a company in Europe is hiring.
American English often abbreviates Honorable (the honorific for a judge or magistrate) as "Hon.".

Which is also the colloquial shortening of the partners' pet name "Honey".

I have never received a reduced sentence after pointing this out.
Thanks. I sent message
Be careful with the VWP. I'm an American (for context I'm white) and recently tried to the same thing in the UK. Specifically, I wanted to work on my software business in London for a little less than three months. Just because.

The UK Border Force wasn't having any of it. I spent a night in an immigration detention facility (which is broadly speaking a prison) and was sent back on the next flight.

For context: The border force found a receipt for registration as an Irish citizen in my luggage, which they interpreted as a sign I never intended to return to the US [1] [2].

US immigration is at least as severe and our immigration prisons are probably not any fun.

Get a visa from the embassy if you are planning an usual trip even if you are not required to get one, because neither the US or the UK is required to let anyone in.

[1] The irony that Irish citizens are entitled to live anywhere in the European Union was not lost on anyone during these proceedings.

[2] But they also interpreted a card from my aunt that said "have fun on your trip" as a sign that I intended to abandon my life in the US. They are really imaginative people.
The fact you can still see the penguin is the least of ECBs problems. If you can do an adaptive chosen plain text attack then you can easily retrieve the key when ECB is used.
This does not resonate with me at all. I can not stand having things in my code I don't fully understand. Without reading the source code of libraries, without reading relevant standards, without understanding the mathematics behind algorithms, there is always this feeling I may make really dumb mistakes. Really understanding all the bits and pieces obviously does not make your code bug free, but I am usually pretty confident that I did not do something horribly wrong.
I use the RRD Graphs from pfsense to monitor my stuff, I have had to escalate multiple times with TWC proactive group to get some rather severe issues taken care of. Stuff like high latency to the gateway, packet loss to the gateway, intermittent WAN disconnects.

Make sure the techs they send check your line and the nearby lines for return and noise levels.

Lossless audio streaming appeals to me but I'm not sure I'm willing to pay twice as much for it. I think that the artist exclusives would have to be very compelling for me to switch to Tidal.
So, call them "agility tokens". You've still got a limited supply when it comes to trying out new languages, new databases, new whatever. If you've got ten years Python and MySQL experience, and 95% of your codebase is in Python with data stored in MySQL, what do you gain and what do you lose by introducing Node.js and MongoDB into the mix? Sometimes it's worth the trade...other times it's not. But, Node.js and MongoDB is probably not going to provide enough of a productivity boost to make up for the costs of maintaining two codebases, two build/test/deploy environments, two databases, etc. You're making a trade; sometimes it's beneficial (usually long term), and often it's not (usually short term).

In short, yes, I'm buying this. I think it's a perfectly sensible analogy; a somewhat leaky abstraction, if you will, since none of us actually have any "tokens" that we are trading in for a new database. But, the meaning is clear to me, and I can't find fault in it.
