> servile wave of infantile 'technologists' that are beholden to FAANG so this is clearly what happens when even 'smart people' get things wrong: they try to justify their errors with these campaign smears. Which is why I'm glad so many are leaving CA, hopefully it can go back to it's cypherpunk roots it had in the 80s and 90s.

So true. I wish I had had the opportunity to live in the golden age cypherpunk CA of the 1970-1990s.

> Their work is not their own, and they are beholden to their employers for identity and purpose, and Bitcoin is just a reminder of why it might have been a waste of time when M1 and M2 spikes happen.

So true. If only they could listen. But they are too emotionally invested in their mistakes. So they try to find meaning and happiness with the peanuts that are thrown at them.

> They thought they had it so good, for so long, so now when something comes along and shows them that their jails are opened they suffer from a sort of anxiety when they're not in one

Thanks a lot for taking the time to write that. It helps me understand them better.

Like you, I have tried to understand the people who single hand reject crypto on HN.

My conclusion is that it is due in part to the golden jail (good paying job in FANG tech) + not wanting to bite the hand that feeds (corporate overlords / governmnent) + intellectual laziness coming from a mix of a golden jail + old age (most people here seem to be over 40) - but the icing on the cake is this anxiety.

I have talked with some people like arcticbull (a HN permabull on all things crypto) and he said he also has the irrational fear of being defrauded.

I think it is a manifestation of the anxiety you describe: the fear their effort were meaningless.

> lets just build it for them, but give them a key they can keep inside and use if and when they are ever ready

The airdrops were like that. I have seen myself very intelligent people sell their airdrops for a handful of dollars. In a way, this free crypto was lost on them. They got a few burgers. More patient people got at least a car.

If you have friends you want to help, don't give them crypto: they will immediately sell it, regardless of the price, because they are afraid of the variance and not very rational. They are the kind of people who would eat the seed gains instead of planting it. They are unable to think long term (maybe from growing up poor, or having to work a job to get money?)

Instead, keep the crypto for them, and bestow a part of it when the time is right, in fiat, at an amount you think adequate to their immediate needs. You can always give them more later.
It's about the amount of meat and dairy we ate... Next to nothing compared to today. Today's rates of cardiovascular diseases don't exist in mostly plant eating cohorts, nor do they in other largely plant based apes.

Its not that complicated, I fail to see how this qualifies as histrionics.
Seems so, https://www.gingerbeardman.com/services/
You could do that with any widely-adopted standard. No blockchain required. Remember that even IBM at their late-1980s juggernaut status couldn't put the genie of the ISA bus back in the bottle.

I think the trick to lasting open standards is to provide only a MVP ecosystem at launch. No one vendor is strong enough to close the platform behind them. Again, like the IBM PC, their product both needed and spawned a galaxy of add-on and compatible products, providing enough of a force to protect the open standard.
I agree with you, so I changed it. I mischaracterized the person's comment. It was flippant and detracted from the point I was making.
Limit qualified immunity and require officers to carry personal liability insurance on the job.

Increase police training requirements. They're woefully undertrained in the US (at least relative to Germany and several other Western European nations).

National LEO registration or something similar to stop the movement of bad officers from one department to another.
I wish something cheap-ish had more than a single M2, along with a PCIe.
Smaller shops get some stock too. Smaller shops often don't have an online store or the one they have is broken or doesn't represent current their stock. Scalpers don't bother with those stores.

I literally entered "computer store toronto" into Google and started calling every small one in the results. I found what I needed in fewer than 15 calls and picked it up an hour later.
> how much more careful should the Cryptography authors have been, since they were writing crypto?

Did you consider that they are being careful by rewriting it in Rust?

> And if they were not going to be careful, they should have used Rust from the beginning and not made (implicit) promises to users.

Maybe Rust wasn't quite there at that point.
So basically all world governments are locked in to their current state forever from the perspective of big tech, even if they are tyrannical regimes? Basically any group trying to invoke change will be labeled terrorists and will be censored and suppressed.
Lots of good fiction feels profound. Good fiction feels right and true. But feeling right does not turn the fiction into science.
Show me experimental data that they agree with.
Img643, exactly correct. Except I take it one step further. An aspect of Bitcoin's fundamental design (transparent transaction records) was supposed to prevent _exactly_ the sort of thing that happened with Mt. Gox.

History shows that states create markets. And that markets require states. This is true because only states, organizations which have monopoly control over the legitimate use of force, can effectively provide police protection for transactions to be consistent, reliable and trustworthy. Bitcoin's transparent transaction record, designed to make states obsolete in this traditional role, was not enough to fix the problem. It became too tempting to subvert this design, because there's no one who will handcuff you if you try.

Consider, perhaps Mt. Gox _itself_ was the perpetrator of this theft. There's no way to prove me wrong!
MacOS apps are used to prompt a dialog - atom should too.
There were a lot of other brick toys around, but it's hard to find dates as to who was first.

As a 70s kid I played with my father's Bayko sets and what I think may have been American Plastic Bricks (maybe with a different name) that were in a big box at my grandma's house. These products did specialised pieces years before Lego though you were restricted to building houses.
You're probably right, but no one will believe you. Sorry.
As someone who's also worked on a debugger, I'm sad to say many programmers aren't working on problems that needed complex debugging. I couldn't understand why friends weren't interested in what I was working on, until I realized they were building CRUD apps all day.

There's little control flow to speak of in there, so if they had a problem, they could just dump locals() to get a good view of everything that happened.

When I went back to doing compilers work, I missed my debugger dearly. I also realized why I needed a debugger and my friends didn't: debuggers like this are particularly useful for work with compiler-like characteristics, of which there is unfortunately not enough.

I’ve lived this a couple times. I hate to be pessimistic, but it’s a really bad sign. The startups I’ve done that were successful were always running just at the edge of total meltdown because the business guys were hustling hard.

I think you've got that backwards: if you have a database for something, is it worth the additional levels of abstraction to also store some data in files?

If your data is fairly small, and perf not the biggest issue (which is pretty common), you might as well go for the simplest solution, which is going to be purely DB or purely FS, not some mixture of the two.
Fair enough. Yes, it's not getting worse overall. A lot of the stuff I mentioned wouldn't even have been news-worthy a few centuries ago.

But for Europe and the US this was most certainly not the "best year in history", regardless of general positive trends.
Without an effective police and judiciary, you can't be secure in your person or property, and end up paying an informal tax to organized criminal elements and corrupt police, so no, Russia is still not laissez faire.
Nowhere near this size though, and those selling bigger attacks on e.g. darkode would charge extra for the heat. If they're paying for the attacks, they must be paying closer to $1000 per hour.

> overhaul the system itself

I agree with this, but it will take decades, and I'll leave it to politics experts to deal with that. There are things I want to get done in my life, and I will get them done without needing to involve myself in that mess. If it needs me to move into another country or jurisdiction to get those things done, I'm open to that.

I respect those that want to go fight that battle, but everyone needs to pick their own battles to fight, and I have enough battles I'm fighting already.

> adding hacky patches to get around it isn't the way to go

I disagree. You should fix the architecture but you should also feel free to use hacky patches until the fix is done.

Meanwhile it isn't the taxation structure I'm arguing against, it's the salary discrimination by location.

If a company values my work at $X/year they should give me $X/year independent of all other considerations, and also give someone else who accomplishes the same exact work $X/year independent of other considerations.
> I suppose you could look up the US territories and zip codes with highest adminstration rates and travel there

yeah by default I’m very low on the list if I dont get crafty

I could do that, I already travelled to a low covid area and quarantined and didnt bring it with me

I met some ppl that got it through their tribe, so I contacted mine across the country but in that state they arent doing anything for indigenous.

Its a little weird how vaccines are aiming to be apportioned across all states at the same time. When really there is some lower hanging fruit than others. Like in one week you can send a freezer full to Wyoming or Hawaii and be done with those states, and only have temporarily reduced a 6 million allocation for California by 2 million!
That analogy isn't about odds. It's about the why.

The reason we don't let 99% of people buy shares of private companies has NOTHING to do with protecting the wealth of the 99%. Nothing. Zero. And to pretend like people with less than a million dollars in liquid assets are "too dumb" or "inexperienced" to purchase something is beyond insulting.

It has everything to do with creating a private market where the 1% can get in early before the price rises as public money flows in. Wouldn't want too many poor people to get in early. Wouldn't want to have to deal with a bidding war against poor people. Better off to just exclude them from the buying process when the price is low and then sell it to them later when everyone wants it.

It's an institutionalized example of a law designed to maintain a plutocracy. It's disgusting.

I never really understood just how stacked the cards were until I tried to buy FB shares on the secondary market one day. I wasn't allowed to. What the fuck? Then I got married and I became an accredited investor over night. I'm like, "Wow. Really? REALLY?!?! This is how it works?" Then I lost my status as the result of a divorce. So a few years ago I was smart and experienced enough to take on that risk. Now I'm not.
So what? No prepaid 3G where you live?
Hacker News -> Reddit -> Stack Overflow -> Repeat
That's a very good question. Yes if you are able to inject a script it will be executed in the virtual browser and it will bypass it (not completely, you still have XHR and cannot exploit heartbleed like bugs).

First - default xss auditor by chrome will be used. It kills most reflective xss.

Second - whats wrong with filtering? It is ugly but bulletproof. Without <>" you cannot break the markup.

Third - we will be offering free antixss audit. It is routinely patched.

Main goal of this technology to prevent complex server side bugs and 0days. Interface based XSS are both rare and easy to spot.
Have they just recreated the Kin?
Assuming that none of your risk is uncorrelated - which is not as true as people wish or hope.

E.g. if you buy a huge number of San Francisco you are now very exposed to large earthquakes, or the house price in SF falling due to a tech bubble
> Google strong arms web standards (http2),

Add to that Google strong-arming web-DRM into the standard to have exclusive access to Netflix on their closed-down Chromebooks.
Disappointed to see "Teh Womenz" on there - is it so inconceivable that someone wanting to be a hacker is a woman? Or not into women?

Obviously the author is tongue-in-cheek, but it's indicative of a wider culture, where hackers are telling women, 'You don't belong.'
Half of that site is ads and promotions, it's also terribly detail lite and lacks some browser spec stuff.

Also, very few common/good practice parts.
I had to reread the reply, but it sounds like they're speaking strictly about rendered HTML- not just the response text.

For instance, when an XHR response is returned as "Content-Type:text/html; charset=UTF-8", I still see raw HTML in the content pane: http://grab.by/7SXg
According to xkcd (since I don't have any other information) Latitude is substantially larger already: http://xkcd.com/802_large/
HA but you're assuming a hacker woman is /straight/. Mybe I only want lesbians in my culture >:(
Yes, but where? Google? Competition?
Why post this now? If it actually happens tomorrow, post it then.

Posting speculative links about things that might happen in a few days is noisy, even if newspapers are doing the speculation. Being first with the news isn't that important.
Having seen your landing page and the video, this about the app:

- I liked the simplicity and the concept of the app a lot.

- Does the msging in any way interact with sending SMSs/IMs?

- It's a great idea to be able to message your sharing friends, but what's the quickest way to reach your friend after you receive a pin from them? Think through the usage scenarios - and flaunt them! "It [the whole scenario] just works" is your best friend.

- Ask your non-techie users/friends about the scenarios and make sure you listen a lot.

The landing page:

- show don't tell. More pictures less txt... (take a leaf from the big A).

- I wouldn't use the word "setup" at all, when you've basically intelligently managed to rid your users of that chore. That's something to flaunt, whereas the very word setup IMO is a turn-off. Just go with "no sign-up"/etc.

- The first paragraph to me looked like filler even if it may be good and true. It would be more appealing to me to directly explain concrete cases where the app can achieve the good things you speak of. (I hope you've watched the FaceTime commercial a lot lately)

- The video is a great beginning, but turn up the voice/eq it (I had some trouble hearing it), and turn down the music a bit?

- Make sure you ask non-techies how it resonates with them. Listen carefully.

- The same operation on your iTunes page, and make sure the screenshots are of very self-explanatory usage cases.
I see the brick/block popper game a lot (I have a games portal and I check out the 'new stock' pretty much every day).

On thing that I notice that the better brick-block-popper games do is that they start with far fewer colors. Maybe just three or four types of flowers (you might run in to layout problems on that one). As the levels advance in difficulty, you add more flowers. That really lets players get the hang of the game mechanic.

Anyways, big fan of the html5 stuff... my current project is

great talk, I'd only add that CS schools don't teach ML algorithms, they teach theoretical models. Just look at Bishop's PRML book, which is the de facto standard textbook these days or Andrew Ng's lectures on Youtube. While they present a good overview of Learning Theory Concepts, the actual algorithms are largely left to students to devise (or use existing ML libraries in black-box mode). The distance between academia and industry is even larger than what Ilya describes.
I love that they openly in this post discuss that the end-user can use TrueCrypt if they desire:

"For users who feel more comfortable managing their own encryption keys, we recommend using products like TrueCrypt to store encrypted volumes within their Dropboxes. Those users will unfortunately lose access to some functionality, but we leave this decision to the user."

It's the sign of a good company in my opinion that they don't treat their users as unable to understand such things.
Knockout focuses more on the front-end - helping you make a sophisticated UI that responds to view model changes using declarative bindings. It isn't as opinionated as backbone about how you should load and save data.

Both approaches are valid; either could be preferable depending on whether you're focusing most on the UI or on the data.
Don't forget there's always the possibility of contacting the authors for a commercial license.
Live forever? No, I wouldn't like that at all.

In many ways I think we prolong life without consideration for preserving the quality of life. Losing my mobility or my eyesight (both of which happened to my grandparents) would be a huge problem for me.

And perhaps some people can find that motivation for living for today but in my experience most people can't. Even those close to me have not had the same reaction to my car accident... it is not enough for someone to tell you or show you how short life can be, you need to experience it.
You don't understand, Skynet is using all Amazon resources, hence the outages ;-)

Well blinds would presumably block the light you want in (visual spectrum). Furthermore, anything that isn't reflected back out serves to heat the building. Absorbing the energy in a PV material takes some fraction of energy that would otherwise become heat and turns it into something valuable.

Efficiency is very important but just one-big factor to consider in your application. Less efficient panels can have other benefits that justify their use. Crystalline silicon panels are more efficient than thin film but thin films are lighter and so can be used on roofs that don't support the heavier panels.

I'm probably one of those people that can identify specific notes, but probably only if they're played on a piano. I play an electronic piano and what I find amusing/frustrating is if I use the 'transpose' function. So when I play for example in C but it is D that comes from the speakers, I will often find my fingers migrating to 'correct' the pitch. And if you wonder why I'd transpose, it's because - to my ears - a piece of music can sound noticeably different shifted just half a tone.
Google is a company based on surveillance. It crawls the entire world‘s data. It makes money by delivering messages to people you’ve never met based on the intelligence they’ve gathered about the people. They give you free tools for instrumenting websites to gather more intel about people, which is then stored on their servers. And the calendar notification claim relates to using a google product in the exact way it was designed to be used (and reads like lawyers grasping for a safe technicality.) It’s a bit unsavoury imo.
Not sure what conclusions you can draw from that.

Cars and doors are natural enemies in the wild.

Most working police officers in the US probably haven't fired their weapon in the line of duty:

https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2017/02/08/a-closer-lo...

The idea that they are at particular risk from random people with weapons is not supported by statistics.

The current level of violence pretty clearly (to me) justifies police having access to weapons. It doesn't justify using them quickly.
I'm curious, do you mind explaining, what a top 10 university is (e.g. ranked by students, number of published papers etc.)? FYI, the ETH is also considered as a top 10 university (top 6 actually according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QS_World_University_Rankings)
I should say that this is not my project. Nor am I a contributor — I only found it recently in my search for deploying TensorFlow models.

In terms of how this is different to other products that provides OCR as a service, object detection as a service: this is not an "as a service" product, but a framework that allows you to deploy ML models in a variety of configurations, such as Docker/K8s. I'd even say it's even further than a framework, as it's opinionated about what goes into the serving cluster: not just model workers, but query manager/load balancer, metrics aggregator and a config DB.
I found the base set of tags didn't vary so much but there would often be a superset of features that would vary significantly as well as some sites that only offered a smaller subset of tags. However markdown is really no different in that regard.

I was prepared to be convinced, what in our field does bring nothing but benefits? I didn't see much to worry about here though;

* who cares if you're deploying 20 services or 1 when you run your deploy script?
* who doesn't have an operationally focused dev team?
* who isn't already dealing with interfaces even if not micro services?
* since when do micro services have a monopoly on distributed architectures or asynchronicity?

I can't agree testing is harder either. Too much fluff in this article to read much value into it.
Nice! This is the idea behind https://www.wfh.io/companies. I hope to develop this a bit further in the future.
