I'm not a finance or a crypto expert, so don't take my word on it. But many people way smarter than me have been trying to prove this hypothesis for years.

Bitfinex doesn't exactly have a reputation that deserves any trust, so I wouldn't put it past them.

I think there is a good reason Coinbase does not allow trading Tether.
Nice design. Now Apple just needs to open up an SDK for them; they could be much more than they are.
I get the impression they are taking the same approach as Reddit, in which there are many smaller sub-communities. That gives an individual site a cozier feeling than just one massive all-in webpage. (That said, each of the major SO tags is like a community unto itself.)
I have to say that the upvote list does cover almost all the stuff in the overlap between my interests and the HN collective interest. But surely everyone is interested in something else not covered by HN.
Right, SO is for code while programmers.SE is for everything else. Another way to look at it is the tags.

Stack Overflow -- all about programming:

> I built a Facebook game a few years back. The company that owns it decided to shut it down. I get messages -every day- from people who are dying to play again. But there's nothing they can do, they don't control the software.

Did you retain any rights, such that you could white-label and de-facebook-ize it, and stick it up on a webpage?
Programmers.SE is the soft questions relating to programming life and career, basically. It's much more relaxed about discussiony questions than SO.

I participate there regularly.
We're still debating over the title but, once we have it, we'll get a site & twitter account.
Except that school doesn't teach any of that. It only focuses on bunch of
facts like dates, without trying to penetrate the subject with any reasoning.
After all, testing how one reasons is much, much more difficult than testing
if he/she knows several dates correctly.

Moreover, structure of history classes is mostly time-based, without much
correlation beside when something happened. But history could be split along
different axes. How much connection is there between Russo-Swedish War and
French Revolution, anyway? Why teach them one after another only because they
happened at the same time?
I actually am coming to the conclusion that 2FA is dangerous. It's recommended any time there's any kind of breach as if it were some kind of panacea for security, when in most cases the cause of a security breach is a database intrusion.

2FA keys are stored unencrypted so if the db is breached they're already cleartext (no boil the oceans bcrypt collision needed) and the extra layer of security theatre from 2FA only encourages bad practices like password reuse & easy passwords.
I think QML is used for Qt Quick and not compatible with desktop-style Qt Widgets. Qt Widgets .ui files are human-unreadable, and when edited in Qt Designer, usually lead to incorrect tab order (see LMMS's settings screen).

All of these seem somewhat conceptually similar to Audacity ShuttleGUI (https://wiki.audacityteam.org/wiki/ShuttleGui)

Or the Python context-manager-based declarative GUI (wrapping PyQt) I wrote for my relatively small program corrscope (https://github.com/jimbo1qaz/corrscope/blob/master/corrscope...)
I want my daughter to be able to program, absolutely. But that doesn't mean I want her to be a programmer. I want her to be able to take programming and apply it to other interests she has—which means having other interests—which means being exposed to things and ideas she's not currently familiar with to learn what she likes and doesn't like. Pulling her out of the place we have set aside for that, in order to devote herself to being a full time programmer, seems like a step backwards. Being 16 should be about broadening your horizons, not narrowing them.
Couldn’t you just use KaTeX to compile to MathML ahead of time?
Unfortunately, the pyproject.toml format still doesn't support editable installs. So, setup.py is still required if you need this feature.
I have trouble believing that you truly believe this, but in case you are not trolling:

You are not born with any rights. Rights are social constructs, always were, always will.

You decide that your right to roam the world is more important that the right of ants to live (you squash them when you walk). Some buddhist think otherwise and sweep in front of themselves before moving somewhere where ants might be.

Your distinction of “what requires other beings’ labor” will take you no where, almost all your actions will impact others. Do you think killing yourself is misusing your parents’ labor? No definitive answer exists, just social constructs.

Is is right to force selfish humans to vaccinate themselves to prevent doctors from working overtime in countries where health is socialized? I think so. Is it right to ask people to get vaccinated to prevent someone’s grandparents from dying 10 years too early? Well, yes, I believe that’s fair.

You have the right to disagree, but don’t trick yourself into believing there is any universal truth to be found here.
> For example, you can be detained because you refused to let the police search your car for drugs and they make you wait while they get a warrant.

That is not a lawful detainment. Out convenience for both parties police can ask a suspect to wait until a warrant arrives so that the police don't have to arrest them. In other words you can offer to leave, but they are going to arrest you anyways otherwise the detainment is completely voluntary.
Why would you want to do that ?!?
Frustrated with my Fedora Linux configuration, I recently got hibernate to work with my Gentoo Linux system.

I have a LUKS (but not LVM) encrypted root and swap partition on /dev/sda3 and /dev/sda4 respectively.

I use the command "su && mount /boot && genkernel --luks initramfs" to generate the initramfs.

I give the initramfs the following parameters: "crypt_root=/dev/sda3 root=/dev/mapper/root crypt_swap=/dev/sda4 resume=/dev/mapper/swap". This makes my initramfs ask for my password for the partitions, then decrypt the partition, then mount them and resume from hibernation if possible.

I add this parameter by setting GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX in /etc/default/grub, and then running "grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub".

When I want to hibernate I use the following command: "exec loginctl hibernate". My window managers let me bind this to a keyboard combination.

I am using openrc as my init system (with elogind), and sway/GNOME as my window manager. The computer uses legacy BIOS (SeaBIOS) and the storage uses GUID partition table with the grub bootloader. Hope this helps.

Days off on all Saturdays would be ideal. Fun and games I think should be random and during the 40 hours of the work week.
Yes it is common. Things are changing recently but still you will find only 2 out of 4 Saturdays off in most companies.
Easily discernible for me. Its an awful lot like your tennis analogy though.

"I could take on anything my opponent would throw at me and without even breaking a sweat"

If I'm 'in the zone' as it were, you could replace 'opponent' with 'bugs' and it would be very similar to my experience. Not so sure about 'expending very little effort' though. While it doesn't feel like hard work while I'm coding 'in the zone' I end up completely mentally exhausted by the end.
I'm from the US, but I think I know it almost exclusively from Unix shell scripts and Perl documentation, where `foo` is called the "backtick operator".
Yeah, sorry I forgot Hacker News was all srs bznss where no humor is tolerated whatsoever.

On the Tumblr monetization front, TheStartupist[1] covers a good portion of their story. Checking Crunchbase[2] shows that they've gone through pretty large funding rounds, with their last one (D) at $30M the largest. I've been trolling Tumblr for the last year and half, and the only things I've been able to scrounge are the $9 Directory listing under your category of choice and the premium themes.

They're still growing massively, as all the cool kids congregate there to post their Instagram-faded pics of teenage angst, but are hemorrhaging money like Twitter. And like Twitter, advertising is viewed as pure evil[3] and not a viable solution to generate revenue. Twitter realized the inevitable and started Promoted Tweets recently, and Tumblr will have to do something similar soon as well. Maybe they make enough from the themes, but that seems a little quixotic.

Give them the day off on Saturday, but keep the office open so that if they want to come in and work on personal projects in a familiar setting, they can.
And I think you misunderstood my point: it seems likely that Google simply does not value design talent all that much, and thus that the way to improve Android UI is not simply to hire talented designers, but rather to completely change that aspect of Google's corporate culture.
Doesn't Google AppEngine solve this for Python?

How is this going to be different than Fantastico that already comes with just about every CPanel hosting solution?

I don't know many hosts that don't allow 1-click install of tons of PHP apps already. I think Heroku mattered because of Ruby... right?
"I've thought about this a lot, and I think that Android is gaining ground right now because it's across so many carriers. As soon as Apple breaks it marriage with AT&T and gets it phones into Verizon, Sprint, and all the other major carriers I think the Android growth with slow."

Possibly.

I think Android is also growing because it can fill so many niche's in the market. It's not just across a lot of carriers, but a lot of different types of devices. The Devour seems to me to be a little bit more than a messaging phone, while the EVO is sort of a cross between a Nokia-type phone and an iPhone. The iPhone is pretty much the same device and if that isn't your cup of tea, then it is pretty easy to get a comparable phone somewhere else.
this feels very similar to Fantastico?

I've had tinnitus for as long as I can remember, so "silence" for me means non-stop high pitch ringing. Thus, I use Pandora just about every hour I'm awake and around a controllable sound source.

For coding I usually pick techno, electronica, soft rock, classical, or more piano/instrumental types. It mostly depends on mood. I tend to avoid things with lyrics for coding.

More specifically, I've been addicted to Explosions in the Sky and Trifonic for months now.
The new maps are simply amazing. The 3D building with pan and rotate make me feel like I live in the future.

I'm actually not a huge fan of that headline editing policy. My problem isn't the headlines, it's the actual content - if something is a "20 great sites about X" post, it's very unlikely to contain thoughtful writing.
I'm not accusing you of this, but a common misconception I've seen from Americans is that VAT is "yet another tax." It's (usually) not. In California, I was paying 8.25% sales tax (and this can go up to 10.75% with some local sales taxes added) and in the UK I pay 17.5% but there are no sales taxes, and certainly not any "local" ones I need to be aware of. A can of coke that costs 60p in London costs 60p in Edinburgh too.
"The last minute" is whenever they ask IANA for some more IP addresses, and IANA says "No."

Seriously, though, there's starting to be some real movement on this. It's all very preliminary, and about where I hoped it would be in 2000, but there is movement.
The difference between our profession and the medical profession however is that, unlike ours, software development, whose skills can be acquired at basically no significant cash cost (other than a cheap desktop PC), many doctors have to begin their careers with tens of thousands of dollars in debt, assuming they could afford it at all even with loans. I don't think we should begrudge medical folks for wanting to be paid, and paid well, as long as that is not the only thing they are in it for.
Exactly! In fact the software that does that even already exists! I read a news story earlier this year about a team which was using that technique to restore old phonograph records that are too fragile to play. They even used it to successfully reconstruct the audio from fragments a record that had already shattered. In the article (I forget now whether it was on NPR or Wired) they mention that the software is flexible enough to follow a linear stream whether the line wraps around a flat record or a cylindrical gramophone; likely it'd work on this medium as well.

(I can readily imagine 80 years from now, when they want to reconstruct the audio from an old CD, they'll take a picture of it from 3 feet away with a digital camera and it would be able to resolve the pits on the CD into a data stream.)

Many engineers have a tendency to "imprint on" a certain set of technologies and keep tools in their mental toolbox from early in their career. Even most brilliant engineers will do this - technology moves very fast and using the tools you know saves time and effort up front even if new technologies exists that are less time long term. I'd never dream of belittling the hard work they obviously must have done to reconstruct this pallophotophone, but I do notice that in the picture from the article the engineer is not young, and I do think it likely he built a mechanical device only because that's what he knows. If a millennial were doing this project, absolutely he'd try it with software first. But my generation can't be too smug because we're not immune to the effect. Maybe the next generation from now would (to give a random example) first think of growing a piece of biological wetware to do it.

The idempotency of the patch is determined by the content-type of the request entity, instead of being inherent to the method. The idempotency and safety of GET, DELETE, and PUT are shaky too, because Fielding and others say that side effects of these methods are not required to be idempotent. Really everything about the semantics of HTTP is very hand-wavy.

I believe that PATCH was created because people couldn't come to a consensus on whether PUT was required to replace the whole entity or whether it was allowed to have patch-like abilities.

We could use sealed envelopes made of heavy paper instead of the first hash function usage, and then have a guy in a lab coat point at a colourful picture of a fractal to demonstrate the randomness of the second hashing step.
Tasker is quite a bit more difficult to set up, though. I say that as a happy user- it's just not the world's nicest interface. Locale wins in that regard.
The advantage of SETI is that the radio equipment can be used for radio astronomy just as well. So the money spent has dual use (almost complementary).

I think the missing piece of discussion here is what's alluded to in the article: Amazon, or at least a critical mass of decision makers at Amazon, want to become aspirational. It really is in the same category of Costco or Walmart, but they constantly wish they could go higher end for higher margins. The Fire Phone is a demonstration of what happens when these two worlds collide. It is a box shifter's definition of a high end phone.

I admire Amazon a lot, but this one was a misfire.
I wonder how they managed to keep the calorie intake the same for each group as mentioned in the study?

Either the mice self-regulated this, and the shorter window mice learned to eat more when it was available or there was a fixed amount of food available then the window seems less relevant unless they tracked when the food was gone for the day.
Yup, they should try that. Something tells me it's been tried somewhere... I think the resistance will come from the lobby groups pushing these initiatives through, since they'll be annoyed at being forced to make their PR job harder.
Honestly, at this point, we need to be doing BOTH and to such a degree that it feels painful. We need to cut our global energy use massively to slow the runaway acceleration, and we need carbon capture solutions, ridiculous sci-fi mirror solutions, pretty much all of it, to get it back under control. And even then, we're going to have quite a few years of fucked-up weather worse than this.

The problem is, I despair of us doing EITHER, and "quite a few years of fucked-up weather" is going to sound like a fantasy story.
One reason is perhaps that the prototypal patterns has not been that well supported in JavaScript.

For example the use of constructor functions and the "new" operator parallels classes in traditional OO. A perhaps more "prototypal" approach would be to define instances by using object literal syntax. But the object literal syntax does not allow one to define the prototype, so it is more limited than using constructors.

One of the proposed extensions in the abandoned ECMAScript 4 proposal was to allow prototype definition in object literals, like:

var obj = { x : 10, __proto__: protoobj };

This would make prototypal inheritance more natural, since you don't need the constructor as an intermediate step.

ECMAScript 5 has the method Object.create which creates a new instance with the given prototype:

var obj = Object.create(protoobj, {x: 10});

But this is not yet widely supported, while "new" has been in the core since day one.

Basically the JavaScript language has been slow to fully embrace its prototypal nature.
Excellent. Agreed, he seemed to want to cater to Roberts' economics strengths, though if I recall, Roberts was trying to tease out some of the technical issues.
How long did it take you to create this?
That's unusual, we reply to all support requests within 24 hours and those of Pro users much faster.

There is a spike of scheme-esque macros for Clojure here:

Or cryptography. It used to be illegal as well, right?
Sadly, though, it "takes minutes" (and they even seem to make a big point of that..) It might be useful for slightly better summaries though I've had great luck with going with the first paragraph of an article so far (or certain other metadata if it scores better, like <meta> description).
A couple years ago people were recommending Vue as an effective alternative to React's complexity.

Then Vue itself became complex.

Now people recommend Svelte as an effective alternative to Vue's complexity.

Will Svelte remain simple?

It's not hard to see this constant cycle of "simplicity -> people need more -> complexity -> let's jump ship" if you're a web developer with more than a few winters. Every time there's a new simple library around the corner that makes reality so much easier to deal with, but it's mostly just hype speak and this simplicity never lasts for long.
In some ways he's right. He happened to pick a couple of poor examples, since Amazon turned out to be run by one of the most savvy founder/CEOs of the past several decades, and the company has managed to adroitly maneuver from one business to the next, leveraging existing resources to build into the next. It would have been difficult to predict which of the seemingly outrageously priced stocks in 1999 were going to stand the test of time. Most of them didn't, Amazon was one that did.

But, there have been numerous big Internet companies from the first boom/bust who have been displaced by smaller competitors. In fact, it's probably more common than the alternative.

So, was Friedman wrong? Yeah, about these two companies. But, if you're viewing it as an example, and you take a look at a few dozen other comparably valued tech companies of the same age during the same time period, I'm certain you'll find most of them are mere shadows of their former self or long-since defunct.
Faraday cages around anything electronic that you care about. Honestly though, your digital media is going to be the last thing you are going to care about as you are starving to death with no water, heat, power, and armed people roaming the streets looking to take all your provisions.

Your faraday or powered down devices also won't prevent them getting destroyed in a neighbourhood going up in fire either.
They aren’t that bad, let’s be real. Try the latest XPS 13, the trackpad is more than fine. Maybe not Apple great, but it’s perfectly fine. I could point to earlier makes/models that were fine too. It’s not going to make or break your decision on PC/Mac if you have Apple money to spend on a PC.
The difference seems pretty meaningful. Google analytics really has nothing to do with Chrome in this context, the same thing would be true in any browser visiting a site with Google analytics tracking.
