Every store of value that has ever existed and will ever exist is just a game of speculation that it will continue to be valued when you're ready to withdraw your money to do things you've saved for.

Gold was the best portable and fungible speculative bet for a very long time.

Bonds are speculation that a country will continue to be productive and well managed enough to pay their debts without resorting to massive inflation.

Stocks are a speculation that a company will continue to be competitive and profitable for long enough to recoup your investment.

Real estate is a speculation that an area will continue to be a desirable place to live or useful for some industry.

Rare art is a speculation that people will still be willing to pay millions for your original Picasso and that we won't be able to produce undetectable copies with better technology.

Bitcoin is a speculation that people want a digital, neutral store of value like gold was that they can park excess money in that they don't have a better use for right now.
Wouldn’t you still be vulnerable to attack via a 3D printed or resin cast face (possibly suitably painted)?
I find all his digs at javascript funny since, at least the way I use it, javascript is basically an ugly-looking scheme. Javascript is responsible for my 'lisp enlightenment' with the language using first-class functions and closures, and the wide variety of precompilers. It strikes me as fashionable to hate on javascript.

Java on the other hand, now that's a horrible language ;) ;)
That's welsher talk, if you make a bet and a person accepts then you have to take the bet or STFU.

If you believe the person will not follow through that's one thing, maybe both parties should put $100K in escrow, talking about the purpose of the bet is weak.
I'm not a lawyer and I'm using my best guess. But you have to be on the offensive and sue Apache to terminate their license, Facebook's license says even claiming their patents are invalid terminates the license.
I don't disagree with any of that. I was just saying that BSD find is the most plaguing deviation from the Linux bash on which I was brought up.

In many cases a concrete type can be inferred:

map (\x -> x.slot) listOfFoos

Pretty sure that x has type `Foo` in this case.

One could then simply disallow the use of `HasField "slot" b a` in the domain of functions (pretty sure it can never appear in the range). This would then require the programmer to provide annotations if a more concrete type can't be inferred.
I think it's important to note that Dark is "engineered." It has a comparatively short runtime, and the major points of the plot were written before the show even began production. This is something even some of the most widely acclaimed series didn't do, but up until streaming services started dumping whole seasons at a time, it wasn't really viable; leaving open ends meant more opportunity for big viewer numbers and ad revenue. La casa de papel (mentioned in the grandparent) wasn't planned to the same extent, and it shows. It's not bad, but the writing is nowhere near as strong as Dark. It's possible that these European Netflix series that started to get made largely for the sake of hitting the 30% domestic content number are inherently advantaged in that regard. They just need to exist in the catalog, and don't need to drag on and on (which has ruined plenty of American series) to fulfill their business case.
This isn't the government's minimum wage, this is amazon's minimum wage, ie the lowest wage that amazon pays to its employees, which is more than double US federal minimum wage.

There is a push to raise federal minimum wage to match Amazon's minimum wage, but for now they are paying a hefty premium everywhere in the US except Washington D.C., the only US state-like entity to yet match it.

Sometimes we forget that all these amazon warehouse employees could take jobs as cashiers at slow stores and similar such easier opportunities, but choose not to.
In this scenario how would you prevent individuals from routing their income through corporations in order to avoid paying personal income tax?
So they can either put in a monstrous effort to end up with a worse product or not be on the Play Store. I know what I'd choose. The kind of people who want Termux are capable of downloading an APK, I wouldn't worry too much about it.
Frankly the fact that this doesn't happen with `-` in a `<code>` block should be considered a browser bug.
I wonder how this will jive with GDPR/CCPA right to be forgotten laws.

If a person has the right to be forgotten, I can't imagine that this decision will be allowed to continue for so long.

Does the person have to ask for their information to be deleted under these laws? If so, this might be an additional avenue or good next step for protection laws.
> (...) while they did indeed show that inequality is increasing, they didn't show the same for poverty.

One of the main quantitative definitions of poverty is the at-risk-of-poverty rate, which is defined as 60% of the median income.

Income inequality is expressed as an income distribution that's lopsided, thus leading the threshold to cover a greater share of the population.
> and all the "support animals" these days would probably drive many small business to bankrupcy.

Those are not covered by the ADA: https://www.ada.gov/regs2010/service_animal_qa.html

>Q3. Are emotional support, therapy, comfort, or companion animals considered service animals under the ADA?

> A. No. These terms are used to describe animals that provide comfort just by being with a person. Because they have not been trained to perform a specific job or task, they do not qualify as service animals under the ADA. However, some State or local governments have laws that allow people to take emotional support animals into public places. You may check with your State and local government agencies to find out about these laws.
Swift and C#?
Why don't we discuss corporate income taxes as effectively a fee for the legal and commercial advantages associated with being a corporate entity in the US?

For example a C corporation can tap into highly liquid and well developed capital markets, limit and separate the owners and lenders to a business from management and associated liability beyond their initial investment, and thanks to certain legal decisions like Citizens United, corporations still seem to enjoy what seem to me more like personal rights such as freedom of speech, ability to participate in politics anonymously , and likely more I don't know about.

With all the aforementioned advantages, is it any wonder that a huge proportion of firms above a certain size limit are C corporations despite the obvious downside to contend with of double taxation? [1]

It seems like the relevant question is the value of those advantages to the tax rate legislated by congress, net of costs related to the right accounting, legal, and lobbying teams.

I'm being anti- UK politicians, not anti-government (perhaps you meant them as one and the same, but if you're not from the UK, then over here "government" can refer to just the party(ies) in power).

My issue isn't with the current government, after all the DEA passed just before the last general election.

But I don't see what's wrong with having the opinion that, if a group of politicians have shown incompetance in technology issues, to not have any faith in them until such a time as they buck the trend and show that they can do good too. It's not kneejerk at all, if a company or an individual person were to screw up multiple things in one area I'd think exactly the same of them.
Downvotes for pointing out a fact about pry's size, comparing it to a relevant project (one I've made) and pointing to additional info. Really HN?
IBM's implementation of DASD on the mainframe was always implemented under the assumption that it was a secondary storage medium for data. Meaning, it wasn't accessed often, and it wasn't implemented for top performance.

Think of a bridge between high performance disk and tape.
Should fix the typo in the header... "writing" not "writting."

Does the app save full resolution photos? I have a fun "Pocket Labeler" app and a fun "FAIL text" app, but both reduce the size of the image to screen resolution.
Lol... Let's co-opt an unaffiliated brand in the marketing of our product!

The tone of the piece reminds me of a scene from that Capote movie.

----

Truman Capote: I had lunch with Jimmy Baldwin the other day.

Party date: How is he?

Truman Capote: Hes lovely, hes a lovely man. And he told me the
plot of his new book. And he said, "I just wanted to make sure its
not one of those problem novels," you know. And I said , "Jimmy.
Your book is about a Negro homosexual whos in love with a Jew.
Wouldnt you call that a problem?"

I wouldn't call someone who is abusive in a relationship, and manipulates someone into taking naked photos, then hands them out to his friends, "odd." I'd call him a world-class scumbag.

The people who went on to post the photos and her personal info are equally vile. I can think of no excuse for that behavior at all.

You're blaming the victim here, and it's wrong. This woman was manipulated and exploited, and she is absolutely innocent in this sad tale.
Do you think so? A Martian lander is an easier job than an Earth lander, and they've already built one of those. In fact, there was the story here the other about how a Dragon can theoretically land on Mars, so if they just manage to build a big enough booster it should be well within their capabilities.

Still very expensive, of course... they'd need to talk someone into paying for it.
It's a great first choice, but Javascript on the server is extremely rare, despite the popularity of some very useful frameworks. Anyone giving advice to someone who is quitting a job and learning programming certainly isn't suggesting server-side JS and if they are they are almost certain to be explicit about it, since few resources will mention it.

I think this persons advice will lead them immediately into a point of confusion as they will think that Ruby/Python are actual alternatives to JS. So if this person has some frustrations with JS are they then going to say, well I guess I'll try to get Ruby working in the client... hmm... Ruby in the client doesn't seem to work here. That guy said that Ruby isn't supported on as many platforms so maybe if I change browsers/OS I can get it to work. Hmmm... that doesn't work either. Oh, it turns out that canonically they're used for completely different things!
It's over.

Do you know any professionals? Everyone I work with uses calendar/agenda features...
I disagree. Show me a waterproof iPhone (IMO the only phone worth considering at the high end of the smartphone market). Lots of people would pay extra to ensure their phone is damage and water proof. For this reason the iPhone case industry is so huge. No, it's not everybody's need to have a durable phone, but I argue that it is the majority's need. The minority who wants fragile phones should switch places with the majority: that way everyone's needs will be satisfied in proportion to the popularity of the need.
if you downvoted this can you please explain why? I am actually desperate for reasons not to be so cynical about my job so i can at least scrape something out of my days until i find a better place...

I wish I had a sunnier view of things but I am someone who wants to work hard but feels like an ant on an ant farm. ppl have advised me to go into startup scene but all the startups i've interviewed at in NY are mock corporations -- ad delivery, ad multimedia, analytics, facebook ripoff.... bleh. where to go?
46 functions in Kλ... this is exactly what people like me need in a programming language. I have a hard enough time remembering if it's add() append() push() to throw something onto an array in Python or Javascript. Knowing that clojure has a cool syntax or cool function-to-do-something isn't all that awesome when I need to just code something.

If I was all in on a language and not a jack of all trades, I'd love those special features. As is, I like a simple list of reserved words that I have a half chance of remembering. Glad to see this funding concept worked for the community.
Truly terrifying: I had to read your comment four times before I could find the typo.
Not that I'm aware of. This type hinting is currently planned for analysis, not for efficiency.

If the Daily Mail thinks they're creepy, that's as good a reason to trust them as I've ever needed.
I wasn't notified either. At least not by Gawker. Apparently the people at hint.io took the initiative to send out emails, which is nice of them, but hopefully they don't use the email addresses for anything else.
Well, you're probably typing credit card numbers, passwords, and other private information into the dumb terminal. It seems absolutely critical to make sure nobody is running a keylogger.
If it's monospaced, it's fine. The emperor is naked.
You have your Prolog backwards.

foo(X) :- bar(X).

means that foo(X) is true if bar(X) is true, not the other way around. So your code would indicate that anything that's not a law is unconstitutional, and anything unconstitutional prohibits free exercise of religion (for example).
Creating a law that says "application agnostic" is going to leave things up to considerable legal debate. Define "application":

"Web traffic": Services that run over TCP/80 or TCP/443

"Video streaming": Delivery of live or buffered video

"VoIP": Phone calls over IP

With categories like the above:

(1) How would you filter in an agnostic way? I can stream video inside of a TCP/443 tunnel, I can send VoIP there too... how do you know what it is? Match off of source IP? I can get crafty and distribute my content through a CDN -- do you block the CDN? Do you require them to register each application with you?

(2) What would prevent a provider from coming up with a way to bypass their own filters in a way that follows the "letter of the law" but not the intent? If a "hostile" application was circumventing things by tunneling or hiding their traffic the "quality team" would catch them and block it. If a friendly application did the same the "quality team" can just claim "they don't have the ability or measures in place to detect application B".

It sounds good in theory but in practice any ability to classify traffic will create a non-agnostic system once the business people spending the capital call their legal teams for advise.
The torrent has been removed. Is there another place to download?
This is really fun. Is there a way to go back to the previous section while designing? It would be nice to add it, or make that option more apparent. I also think the word hipster is a bit over-played and a turn-off to a lot of people these days. Besides that, cool toy.
Wine on OS X has been stable enough for gaming for years! Sims 3 used it, as does EVE Online, and quite a few other major titles, mostly those from EA. They all use TransGaming's Cider fork though, I'm not sure if TransGaming every contribute back to the Wine community these days.

CodeWeaver's Crossover is quite good as well. It can play Skyrim on my 2012 MPB with decent quality. I mostly use it for older games though - rollercoaster tycoon and the like.
She can publish her own music on her own terms. She just can't do it with YouTube's help on her own terms.

Why should YouTube be obliged to meet a person on their arbitrarily chosen terms?
So he can confidently tell personal stories to strangers?
Fair enough, I trust you on your own preferences, but car ownership is already trending down. More people each year are living in bigger cities. That's where ride-services are most convenient – and become even more efficient with a high density of cars and riders. And it's also where private car ownership can already be superfluous and expensive.

Self-driving cars-for-rent will get you places both faster and cheaper than possible in your own car. That could make private car ownership seem quaint or even ostentatious in most cities.
Some time ago I made Youfle[1]. I was trying to make a Trello clone, but for structured data, like a direct interface to a document database that could be used (and/or extended) by not-so-simple but yet data management contexts. The idea was to make something versatile like a spreadsheet and yet powerful as a database. The design resembles Trello (and, differently from Libreboard, it has card drag-and-drop and horizontal scrolling with click-and-drag capabilities). It works offline and saves data to PouchDB (IndexedDB on your browser, probably).

Documents should be written in YAML, but they also accept free text. The custom indexing, map and reduce functions, pagination, querying and other UI features were not implemented yet. To edit a card, double-click on its title. Adding the ID of other card as a value to any property of a card you create a link between the two, which you can see if you click on the body of the card after you stop editing.

If anyone has feedback to share about this, please let me know. The code is at GitHub[2].

Sorry, should have made myself more clear. Wasn't trying to directly address the content of the article, which is largely positive as you said.
I would take a look at koajs. It's a simpler, smaller framework with a killer feature: JavaScript Generators. Which means you don't have to use callbacks.

The leader of the free world last 4 years has been a proud climate change denier. We need action yesterday, but for action we need leaders, but our leaders are not willing to do anything. This seems like an unsolvable problem to me.

People who have the most power to reduce carbon emission are the same people who are least eager to do so.
Twitter is slowly being more dangerous day by day.

Scihub is too valuable and I haven't seen any high level researcher who haven't used scihub.

We need to stop oligarchy . Knowledge should be avail free to those people who can't afford. Government, Corporation please stop pushing humanity to backward direction.
And so does every other social media platform. Signal does so with hashes (https://support.signal.org/hc/en-us/articles/360007061452-Do...), but there's so few phone numbers that it would be trivial to brute force or rainbow table all the possible values.
As someone who doesn't speak German and has only a cursory understanding of the electrical grid - how significant is this?
That was my though and when I read the original books, I thought ok these are inside baseball books for trufans and not for civilians.

By that I mean some one widely read in the relevant cannon ie not just read the hobbit LOTR, HP etc, You had read Dunsany, Mort De Authur, Homer
You're missing the entire premise: where can I go sell my USDT directly for USD? Show me where.

Unlike your example where this an existing market that a peg has to be supported, there simply isn't a fungible USDT/USD market.
The main complaint in 2006 was that there was no auditable paper trail. The 2020 machines all had an auditable paper trail.

Is it surprising that people switch their viewpoint after their major concern was satisfied?
Probably not because that doesn't say whatsapp will have the private keys, just that the vender will. In fact the next sentence you left out of the quote is

> However, these private keys will still not be stored on the WhatsApp chat server.
Wow, that's crazy! It is a wild concept that certain numbers could be deemed "illegal" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illegal_number

Looks great! You should incorporate a "Shuffle" button for random movie suggestions! Also add TV shows!
I don't know. I believe that "phones that can replace a computer" are years away still. So you are left with a Linux phone, and I'd bet the Jolla people to get it right. Also, I haven't tried Ubuntu Touch but the little I've seen of Unity hasn't really blown me away.
Indeed, I'm using it in ST and I haven't noticed an impact on performance.

It has some very niche uses, but they're incredibly limited and would not put gold's value at even 0.1% of its current value.

The bitcoin protocol has quite a lot of potential uses (see master coin and colored coins), even if actual bitcoins were worth nothing monetarily.
The problem with inequality in modern western "democracies" is not that people are not equal. The problem is that the inequalities are so stark and wide.

Campaigners against inequality (who are xampaigners for economic and social justice by and large) do not campaign to make every one "equal", but to make the spread smaller and the lives of those with the least less bleak.

I live in New Zealand which is a modern industrialised democracy and is quite wealthy. We have large sections of our population that are malnourished, inadequately housed, poorly educated and cut off from main stream society. The proportion of our population suffering so was much less in the years between the depression and the 1980s, during which a conscious effort was made by the state to maintain a high wage full employment economy.

The policies that worked then will not work now, but what we have is not working and is generating large costs and inefficiencies.

So it is irrelevant that "inequality stems from the fact that people aren't equal in their strengths and weaknesses". The conditions of the weakest and the degree to which the strongest can corral the resources is what counts

For "everyday" practical use, there is also a really simple command line utility around called `ssss` which is available in many distro repos[1]. Debian has it since Jessie[2] and Ubuntu since around 12.04.

> I don't think I could honestly qualify 1 out of 5 with adverb extremely. Even unlikely feels like a stretch. Let me give you an example, if you submitted your taxes online and before you submitted it, it gave you a chance percentage of an audit, would you roll the dice at 20%?

There's no such thing as 20% of international wires that get delayed. American brokers do hundreds of thousands of international wire transfers every day. If 20% of those were delayed, it would collapse the global financial system.
Yes. And persecuted specifically at the behest of the founder of Palestinian nationalism, Hajj Amin Al Huseini.
If WFH becomes more of a norm, I can imagine facilities / office budgets being re-purposed towards more travel for offsites, visits, and other activities to stay better connected. Work from home doesn't necessarily mean never seeing coworkers or clients in person.
