I think humans are capable of writing correct programs even in machine code, it's just tricky and requires some expertise.

I also think the EVM itself allows for other paradigms than Solidity that might make it easy to create certain kinds of contracts.

And I think worse is better is very powerful, so it wouldn't surprise me if Ethereum sticks along for a long time, like Bitcoin seems to be doing despite its flaws.

Creating communities is hard, but Google wants a unified 'Google' community, not multiple disparate ones -- just look at how they handled YouTube.

Even if you throw in some machine learning to figure out if the user's looking at memes or gifs or porn, I can't imagine the marginal value of that data being of use to Google. It's essentially unmonetizable, which is why most image hosts disappear after a few years.

Imgur was successful in avoiding that fate by pivoting to a community, but that community would be of no use to someone like Google.
Google specifically says[0]:

Yes, I read that part, and I actually skimmed the full rules[1]. Waivers are only available for some restrictions. For example, page 50 of the Part 107 Rule states:

> Accordingly, any waivers that the FAA may grant to the visual-line-of-sight provisions of part 107 will not allow the operation to transport property for compensation or hire beyond visual line of sight.

That makes drone parcel delivery all but impossible.

I didn't mean to attack you personally - that sentiment gets echoed a lot on HN and I replied to your comment, meaning to address all of those that I read before but didn't reply to, so please don't take it personally.

My area is in algorithmics, which is a lot less of a "hot topic" and there's less competition and more cooperation all-around. That may be an important factor in the willingness to share code.

I do agree with you on publishing code and have open-sourced the code to some of my research. Unfortunately I never heard back from anyone, maybe my topics just aren't hot enough ;) I'm a bit unsure whether to publish code for ongoing projects (where some aspects have been published, but others are still in the works for future publications) - in that case there is some incentive to keep the source closed until the project is finished.

In conjunction with the description of involuntary genital exploration that normally precedes the above quote it was, unambiguously, an episode of sexual assault.

Tastes like meat is something I'm really doubtful of... Resembles the taste of meat maybe... but the coconut oil, while relatively mild definitely adds a definitive flavor. And while I appreciate the sentiment, saying something tastes like something else doesn't make it true. Similarly, I think bison tastes better than beef, and that alligator tastes better than chicken.

I'm also not sure if this is better than processing mealworms and similar actual meat that can be fed algae and mass-produced would be, if at all.

I'd argue socially appropiate behaviour is a tone-at-the-top problem. Random arseholes and yahoos are generally dealt with fairly quickly through the usual channels. I'd even say they are no problem because of that fact. But those at the top of the hierarchy get away with more for longer, and they set the standard for the rest of the organization and make the atmosphere, too. The challenge is how to get the top brass to live by their code-of-conduct. I have no suggestion for that problem, but in the struggle between corporate culture and code of conduct, the corporate culture always wins.

> The main attraction of Redis is in-memory writes with async persistence.

FWIW, you can have that in postgres as well, cf. synchronous_commit = off

> Trading durability and availability for the increased performance. If you give up this then there is precisely 0 reasons to choose Redis over PostgreSQL.

As a PostgreSQL developer, I'd say that performance / latency / jitter can still be reasons to choose redis over postgres. The per-read overhead in redis is often a good bit lower than in postgres, and there's less variability in response times.

Not sure what you mean by insane PE inflation, their stock market bubble is long since popped. The Shanghai Composite hasn't net moved in five years, the same is true for Hong Kong. Tencent has been sporting a 35-40 PE ratio lately.

Facebook's PE is ~70 by comparison. In the last few decades, a PE of 35-40 for a tech company isn't particularly rich for a successful company with years of growth ahead of it yet. Google for example has commonly had a PE above or near that level for over ten years.
Recently had a friend who moved from the Midwest to the Bay area to work for a well known established tech company.

The cost differential - most notably in housing is crazy. And, then I check the traffic maps one evening about 7 PM Pacific - the freeways were still mostly showing red. It would take a lot more than $120K for me to think about moving there. Buying a comparable home to what I currently have looks like it would be anywhere from 3X with an awful commute to 8X the cost for a reasonable commute.
Well, it's on his wiki[1], but most information about this part of the Iran-Contra is questionable, and Ross is very cagey about what he says in his interviews. The last person[2] to really take a deep look into this part of the story killed himself, by shooting himself in the head -- twice.

>According to the October 2013 Esquire article, “Between 1982 and 1989, federal prosecutors estimated, Ross bought and resold several metric tons of cocaine. In 1980 dollars, his gross earnings were said to be in excess of $900 million – with a profit of nearly $300 million. Converted roughly to present-day dollars: 2.5 billion gross, and $850 million in profit, respectively. As his distribution empire grew to include forty-two cities, the price he paid per kilo of powder cocaine dropped from as much as $60,000 to as low as $10,000. ”

The OBD adapter does serve a very important role in the system in that it has a power source and can wake the camera frame when necessary (before you ever launch the app!). All of our vision algorithms also run on the OBD adapter, which is a key aspect of the power model.

I have found that the site https://mxtoolbox.com/ is very good for scanning your records for SPF/DMARC/DKIM and pointing out problems. Unfortunately even with implementing all of this some email providers are heavy handed with rejecting mail from smaller mail servers. For instance Yahoo will usually block all of your mail without appealing to them, and Verizon will not allow any email originating from a VPS source like Digital Ocean or AWS. Ironically I found that out when going to report someone on Verizon's network trying to brute force my SMTP server. Mail to abuse was rejected.

On Twitter, Nikesh is spinning it as a positive, no big deal. He says: I still love Masa, etc. So maybe it worked out well for him. Softbanks stock has declined somewhat since he is reported to have bought $487 million worth to become Softbanks 2nd largest shareholder. If he managed to unwind that transaction and somehow break even then he has done very well. That would mean he would have essentially freerolled any upside in the company's share price over the last 2 years, if it had rised. Pretty interesting because on the face of it, it would look like Softbank had him over a barrel.
Racist? Yes. But in other aspects, he is actually not that extreme:

- much less of a war-monger than Hillary,
- has been gay-friendly forever, before it became politically expedient (see his press interviews from 2000).
- he actually employed a lot of women in high-up positions

I am far from a Trump enthusiast, but calling him extreme is not entirely accurate.
Dialyzer uses something called Success typing. The gist is that while e.g. Haskell won't compile unless it can prove that your code is correct, Dialyzer will only complain if it can prove that your code is wrong.

Personally, when I used Dialyzer in Erlang, I was underwhelmed by the amount of errors Dialyzer caught (type checking concurrent code is hard, who knew?) — however, it is certainly better than nothing. Plus, the type specifications you have to annotate your functions with help with documentation :)
There's plenty of disparity on what vegetarian means in India too. It varies by region and caste and plenty of other things.

Kazakhstan to MitM all SSL: download and install our cert [google translate]
I can see your point, but every platform has its own restrictions. Desktop Chrome can do a lot that Android Chrome can't. There are real security benefits to not allowing downloaded code to run on a device without passing through Apple's JavaScript engine. Of course security and features are often at odds. Outside of tech forums, I've never heard anyone complain about missing features in iOS Chrome, so I'm just saying that to most people, the interface, bookmark sync, etc. is what makes it Chrome, not the JavaScript engine, and the tech it's built on will continue to change over time, bringing new features and new restrictions.
The RearVision comes with a security tool that is used to attach and remove the camera frame. The camera frame and the OBD adapter are also paired at the factory and will not function in isolation.

My experience is actually that you'll often get a lot worse performance with redis if you enable durability. The reason being that postgres can batch several connection's/session's transaction commit fsyncs together, which IIRC redis can't.

> Basically the equivalent of a credit card collateral on a rental, minus the credit card company.

I just don't see how a smart contract is helpful here since you're still relying on the owner of the resource to relinquish your funds when they are satisfied that you have returned their property in the condition they rented it to you. Whether you use cash, credit card, bitcoins or eth the power dynamics remain the same because it's ultimately up to the owner to say "ok, everything looks good, you can have your deposit back now".
True, perhaps starting off with a free offering, and then see how and IF it's being used.

Those things also all happen when a platform is no longer supported. So, if Sony wanted to shut down their games division tomorrow, how many new games would you require they release for the PS4 and how long should they be required to keep running their servers?

While I think there's an argument for being required to allow online access to those within warranty, it makes way more sense to just guarantee it plays the games it played when you got it. It's something that consumers could easily understand and depend on.
