> I don't think Google's looking to decentralize in any way shape or form.

I think google's looking to do what's best for their bottom line. If it becomes more profitable, or even much more profitable to decentralize in that way, they will do it without hesitation.

Perhaps they're looking for a way to decentralize their ads, yet still retain the data & meta-data. Basically, have their cake and eat it too.

Firefox's devtools are available in all maintained versions of Firefox. Why would Mozilla restrict devtools to releases? How would people test the devtools in that case?
I have actual accounting experience so by your first point I am qualified to comment.

I doubt CLI snobbery is a factor; that would be infantile. I suspect others downvoted you for taking the default position that the status quo is the best prospect - hardly a hacker's point of view and certainly not in keeping with the startup community.

Had Rod Drury agreed with you, he might never have started Xero.

My finding is that once one is trained in the basics of double-entry book-keeping, accounting standards, finance and taxation, then any package that keeps appropriate records and generates the right reports will do. To which end, Ledger seems a perfectly reasonable choice for a micro business or self-bootstrapped lean startup. Comparing it to an ERP platform is a non sequitur. A better discussion might be around the transition triggers.

Moreover, Ledger could serve as the accounting module of a larger system that benefits from double-entry book-keeping, such as a trading platform or two-sided network business. I say that with confidence because I'm building one.

By the way, a little historical research: double-entry was invented in the fifteenth century; hardly the dawn of time.

It's hard to tell the running time of an algorithm by testing; an O(1) algorithm is indistinguishable from an O(2^(2^n)) algorithm if you only run them on inputs up to n = 10^(10^(10^(34))), say.

(That sounds facetious, and it kind of is, but it cuts the other way, too: I seem to remember that polynomial-time primality testing isn't used in practice because the constants are so huge that, on 'real-life' inputs, it's impractically worse than probabilistic testing.)
Systems like Sift are interesting. Machine learning can pick up a lot of trends over time that humans can't. The problem is that they often fail to react quickly to new trends, many of which hit hard quickly. I've talked to a lot of these vendors and most of them are complimenting machine learning systems with traditional rule-based systems and human review because ML by itself is too slow in adapting to attackers.
To be perhaps even more fair, Haskell's String type is actually a singly linked list of unicode 32 characters, so you'd want C to use unicode and Haskell to use ByteString (or Text).

I'm a bit surprised I never see services which treat status pages as static sites. But it seems like they're prime candidates for that, right after blogs. (they are kind of blogs really) Have a separate service where you can manage the entries and then auto-upload to any number of providers/regions. Are there any reasons this isn't the common way to do it?
I didn't listen to the episode, but I'm a little sceptical. Traditionally, in Japanese there was no word for green, only blue (aoi in Japanese). The forest is blue, the ocean is blue, the sky is blue, etc. Green (midori) was only added to the language in recent times. Even now the green light on a traffic light is called "aoi" (blue) in Japanese.

It's not that Japanese people are not able to distinguish between green and blue, it's that linguistically the colours are broken down differently. If you have a discussion about the colours of the forest, for instance, even now many people will insist that the deep, dark green of pine needles is "aoi" (blue) and that midori (green) is more on the yellow end of green (for example new shoots).

So you might be tempted to think that maybe it is the same -- they couldn't see blue and therefore green and blue had the same name. However, the kanji for geen, 緑, has existed for thousands of years and is used in many Japanese words. For example, 緑茶 means "green tea" (as opposed to oolong tea, for instance). So even though the concept of green existed and there was a character for writing it, if you were to ask people 100 years ago (or just ask older people now) what colour "green tea" is, they would say "blue".

So I think it is entirely possible that Homer simply didn't use the word "blue" because he categorized colour differently. It's not necessarily the case that he couldn't see it. Well... I guess Homer was blind.... but you get my point ;-)
There is nothing to open with a post card or email. If you don't encrypt email then every system must read the message to pass it along. Saying here any router can read this just fine, but I have some expectation of privacy is like suggesting people should not eves drop on your private CB radio conversation.

As to reading email after the fact, they actually do intercept some email. The point is you can't call a CB radio conversation private after the fact.
This isn't quite true.

Contact Host allows you to send an enquiry to the host and is in no way a booking request. You should always do this before committing to a booking to ensure the place is actually available.

Request to Book commits you to a booking and your card is charged there and then, regardless of if the host accepts your request. It then takes up to 7 days to get your money back if the host declines - pretty frustrating.

Instant Book means the host can't decline your booking without their search ranking score being negatively affected.
Most people would switch to legal providers therefore drying up one of the money pipelines for cartels. Most of their power comes from their relatively large economic influence.

Large corporate interests could leverage legit logistical infrastructure and take over, plus large corporations are rich and connected enough to get the police to actually enforce the law for them against threats.

From the manual install section, there's a note about initializing the cluster, along with a reference to:

https://discovery.flynn.io/clusters/53e8402e-030f-4861-95ba-...

The problem for me is candidates have multiple positions on multiple topics. So I can pick candidate X that agrees with me on A and B but not C. Or I can pick candidate Y that agrees with me in B and C but not A. So I have to pick, either which is less important to me A or C, or I have to pick by some other criteria and just accept that no candidate is going to fully represent me.

I don't know what a solution would be.
One thing I cannot understand is that Dropbox API does not provide any kind of hash for files (in both v1 and v2). In contrast, Amazon Cloud Drive and Google Drive provides md5 hash, and OneDrive provides sha1Hash and crc32Hash. The lack of hash info makes custom app to compare and upload local files extremely painful.
I'm curious to see what items this applies to. I buy most things from Amazon, and when I comparison shop the prime shipping usually negates any price difference with other online retailers, and the price is very rarely beat by any in store prices where I live. Anecdotal to be sure, and I stick to items fulfilled by Amazon or direct from Amazon (mostly due to prime), but I see a lot of savings this way. And that doesn't include my time savings which has a measureable value top.

You can specify the host IPs explicitly instead of using the discovery service. The current snag for isolated clusters is that stock buildpacks require internet access to download languages and frameworks. We'll solve this, but some additional work is necessary.

I have a friend that worked as a pediatric nurse in a cardiac ward. One of the reasons she quit was the grim feeling that she was often just enabling suffering. One of her patients was an infant they should have just let die. But they cut him open and fixed things and he lived another 6 weeks in torment and it was her job to make it last.

My grandmother when she was dying mentioned feeling annoyed that government would spend a few hundred a day on worthless treatments for old old lady on deaths door when kids were going hungry.

Exactly what is it that you think Palantir's products actually do?
That's fair, but when we built an app, it really became our life to promote it and drive traffic to it. Especially in the early days it's hard to focus on all the different channels - website, mobile app etc so you do start identifying with being an app developer.

Correct me if I am wrong, but for fish, I think that would do half of the work: fetching the packages.
You still need to update `fish_function_path` and `fish_complete_path`, then source the relevant files from the packages.
If you forget about the `install` command of fundle, you can just use peru or whatever tool you like to fetch the packages and let fundle initialize everything.
Several people have asked and surmised, so I guess it's worth clarifying: the company in question is not Palantir. It's a company I've never heard of and, to look at their website, lacks even the tact of Palantir - ie, far more flag waving and cultish.
Photography never "speaks for itself"; photography is usually a pretty heavy-handed imposition of meaning through the use of composition, tone, framing, editing.

To call photography subtle is incorrect; it's a violent imposition of meaning onto the subject, by the photographer.

I have done functional programming (FP) with Haskell (including professionally) for years, and I think this notion is misguided.

One of the core principles of FP is about state. However, I believe it is to think very carefully about state and be very explicit about how you handle it rather than performing ad-hoc mutations. That often means avoiding state, but many problems require maintaining state.

State machines can be a great tool to be explicit about state management to the point that you can have a specification for how state behaves.
I appreciate this clarifying comment. This certainly feels a lot like the same kind of things APL and friends did/do.

I'm almost convinced it's a bad idea, but not entirely. It gives me the feeling of conflating conciseness and simplicity - taking something that is (overly) complex and attempting to make it simple by making the representation more compact.

On the other hand, different (from the norm) can be a good thing in itself. Still haven't gotten around to play much with it. I strongly suspect that, if we consider this the first incarnation of what will be the future of this system, the third or fourth re-iteration might be getting to the core. (If you can't explain something simply, you don't yet understand it etc).
Ask HN: How to manage number of phone calls without seeming rude?
I've managed to get my email workload generally under control with a fair few techniques - mainly putting aside chunks of time to deal with it.

However, increasingly, I'm drowning in phone calls that are not productive and could have been dealt with in a one line email.

Unfortunately, many of these people are older (who seem not to worry about phoning people a lot) and are my more important clients & customers. I've tried muting my cell, but they'll just call our switchboard instead and ask to speak urgently to me.

In an ideal world I just want to change my voicemail to "Don't call me, email/sms/skype me" but I think it gives off the wrong impression.
There's definitely a huge shift before and after the existence of internet search engines. A sign of Google's real or imagined power is that they think they are big enough to call themselves something as generic as "Alphabet". I guess they own the de-facto default search engine so maybe they can make it work.
To be honest, nothing bad has happened...yet.

Agree - it's really frustrating when your preferred options are unavailable and you're just trying to see which of the remaining options are actually free for your dates. But you have to pick one and commit for a longish period, then repeat.

Airbnb should really build a quick-response app for hosts with a fat button for instantly denying a booking. Make it so that it's trivial to see a request and confirm/deny. Give the ability for renters to set a timeout on their requests too, or queue them up.

One of the most recent times I tried Airbnb in Venice, CA, I gave up and found something on VRBO that was cheaper and quickly available.
This seems very useful to me as a way to find places I haven't heard about through social media. Finding new places when you're a non-native can be difficult. Especially because my primary activity during finding new places is dating and I don't want to ask my date for some new place. :)

How is average defined? If it's aggregateDollarsCompliance / aggregateRevenue for all companies then small companies are going to pay a much higher percentage versus big companies. Apparently it can be as much as ~1.5% of revenue (http://www.sec.gov/info/smallbus/acspc/appendi.pdf Table 10 shows audit through 2000-2004)

Definitely not an insignificant cost for small companies, especially when you factor in the enormous management overhead
I disagree, I think that tl;dr was spot on. Frankly, the article's authors position is classic and arrogant imho. They define what art is and hold it to that standard, ignoring that Stanton himself was simply building a project (a photography blog turned storytelling blog as he and the article puts it).

I'd ask the author - How is this any different from an exhibit at a museum? Because I see essentially the same thing when I go: people standing in front of something, taking it in, taking a photo of it (yuck), moving to the next piece and repeating.

The New Yorker tends to have this classicist view of the world, that's their angle and I understand it and the place for it, I just don't like it when it is used for to paint this cynical view of a disposable consumptive world.

Hope that wasn't a rant (and it was not directed at you, I know you're trying to frame the authors position as well which I'm rallying against).
