> Centralization. Running a full node is already quite a commitment.

The problem is not the resources needed to run a full node. The problem is a lack of incentives. If you want to have lots of full nodes running in the long run, you need to focus on those that do not do so for idealistic reasons, most notably the miners, payment processors, and exchanges. They all have advantages by doing so. Blockchain.info, for example, runs a full node to be able to display incoming transactions and to monitor the network. Adopting this view, the way forward is to grow Bitcoin as much as possible. The more users there are, the larger the ecosystem becomes and the more players there are that benefit from running a full node. We can't rely on the early enthusiasts. We need growth.

> Bitcoin is vulnerable to (and has been subject to) attacks by way of computationally expensive transactions

If you are referring to what I think, then there is a simple fix: do not allow larger transactions than before when increasing the block size. AFAIK, this is what Bitcoin Classic does.

It's worth noting that most startups nowadays also include a non-transference clause in the options contract. This forbids any private sale of shares outside of a liquidity event. This is terrible for an employee leaving a company. Not only is the employee on the hook for a big tax bill if he exercises, but he can't even sell any of his shares to cover the cost.

AFAIK, this is a response to Facebook employees selling equity on private markets.
The things you describe are long term memory, not working memory, I believe.
I've been using the container service for a few months. I have encountered a case where my running containers completely disappeared and was told by support that this was because of a "migration". They claimed to have notified me beforehand on several occasions, but I have no evidence of this. Hopefully this was a one time occurrence and will lead to greater stability.

One other general problem I've had is the time it takes to launch a container. I would expect containers to be an improvement over VMs in terms of how quickly you can launch, but that doesn't seem to be my experience so far.

I would wait a while longer before I would consider their container services for production workloads.
But the data cap regime didn't come crashing down when T-Mobile and Sprint started offering unlimited LTE. Why would you pay for Verizon with its data caps when you can get T-Mobile all you can eat for $70? The reason is because 4G is data constricted. T-Mobile in particular doesn't have enough backhaul, and it's cells cover too much area and get overloaded.

I disagree. I think the fact that Boris hasn't stood in the leadership race is rather telling: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-36672591

Any PM that invokes Article 50 will likely get a very poor post-brexit agreement with the EU.

That will no doubt result in 'the city' acting accordingly.

Also after Article 50 has been invoked, we'll likely lose our presidency of the EU in 2017, and it's likely the discussions will last at least 3-4 years.

I certainly don't think any PM will do what is actually needed to get our economy on track.

- Remove the ridiculous "internal market" in the NHS
- Lapse the train operator contracts and run them as BR once did.
- Re-nationalise our infrastructure (electricity, water and gas)
- Stop defunding the NHS
- Stop defunding Local Councils, and allow them to build houses (rather than have housing organisations do it)

There's certainly more (Like proportional representation) but I read somewhere that odd-numbered lists fair better when read ;-)

Just yesterday they put a whistleblower which published such tax evasion schemes in connection with Luxembourg into prison (LuxLeaks). They ruled that illegal state aid, because the Luxembourg tax authorities actively helped the companies setting up this scheme.

The then prime minister and ex-finance minister of Luxembourg Jean-Claude Juncker is now EU Commision president. So either he is incompetent and did not know about this, or he was involved. He claims he is only incompetent.

With the EU leadership being corrupt or incometent, it is no wonder the big companies are dancing circles around the national tax authorities.

Try telling this to anyone in the ad marketing business. They'll claim their tactics are extremely effective. Regarding "I never buy product from ad", they'll tell you "yes you do, we're manipulating your subconscious and you don't even know it's working!".

Really, they're mostly spinning a web of lies that keeps them employed. You won't find employment doing this for a living if you don't pretend like most of what you do really impacts everyone.

I'm one of those people who will actively abandon products that market too heavily or with material that manipulates its consumers. I switched away from Dove soaps/shampoos back when they started their viral "Campaign for Real Beauty" shenanigans. Pretending you care about your customers' self-image problems... to market soap... turned me off.

well instead of blocking googleads.com/, they would just block nytimes.com/googleads/

Obviously in execution it would be different, but I hope you get the idea.

Edit: I think self-served ad platforms are one way forward, but it depends on what problem you're trying to solve.
I think publishers broke the moral contract first by making the distribution of malware and supporting Internet scams their primary business model. Once they broke the moral contract, we responded by developing ad blockers to protect ourselves from their maliciousness. I think if publishers stopped distributing malware, misleading ads, and Internet scams, then there would be far less demand for ad blockers. They created the problem, it's up to them to fix it.

Unlike a subway ride, it's impossible to tell whether a website has ads or not before you visit it. So I can't know whether I've violated the morals you're talking about until I already have done it.

I think publishers are welcome to create adblock-blockers, and I don't have any interest in working around them. I suspect it's not a feasible business model, but that's their problem, not mine.
Minor point: What you describe isn't usually called working memory. Working memory is what you can "keep in mind" at any one point. It lasts for a few seconds and then has to be refreshed, e.g. by repeatedly saying a phone number to yourself in your head. Working memory is more or less synonymous with short-term memory.

What you describe is long-term memory (everything beyond a few seconds is considered long-term).

Edit: Too slow. Some more justification: Very broadly, one hypothesis is that working/short term memory is stored in the currently present activity patterns of neurons, which fade/decorelate after a few secodns. Anything longer is thought to be stored in the weights of the synapses between neurons (there are alternative theories but I like this one).

Show HN: Scrape 400k Walmart prices with open source Pickaxe DSL
So basically Google inc (in a tax haven) makes Google Spain pay for the use of the Google brand 8 billions. Google Spain never makes a profit since it needs to pay a fee for using the brand, thus never have to pay taxes on their huge profit, that's how they get away with it. Apple does it too, with Apple Ireland in Europe.

Then Google US and Apple US just have to wait for a tax amnesty in the US in order to bring back oversea un-taxed profits.

It seems like they should just assess tax liability based on something other than where a company locates its headquarters.

Maybe in order to do business in jurisdiction X, where "doing business" == "selling ads" in Google's case, you have to pay taxes to X.

Funny you say that. In some other programming community, when one of the consultancy shops was questioning the community what they think of certifications, they were surprised to read that I was one of a few who said certifications are useless and especially so in programming. What it also reminds me of is one job interview where instead of the scheduled pair programming session I had to program my 3rd (IIRC) working program for them to show again that I can code something from scratch. In that case I didn't recall all the pieces of the framework/api from memory, and having to consult a reference book made me fail the test. If a certificate of Foo API Expert would have saved me that failure, then maybe it's worth something, but other than that a certificate says nothing about a developer.

Gumlet.com – Bitcoin binary options trading platform
Hi Hackers,
We have launched bitcoin binary options trading platform http://www.gumlet.com a few months ago. We have been executing trades with almost no issue and I encourage you to give it a try. we have processed our 1000th transaction yesterday.

The platform is mobile friendly, fast and with highest multipliers. We immediately process transaction as soon as the time ends. Price is fetched from Bitstamp and time of trade is fetched from Blockchain.info.

The platform is built on Angular.js and socket.io requiring no reload. Bets placed appear instantly on platform and realtime in-money or out-of money is indicated with colors.

We would appreciate your feedback on the same.

Average transaction fees are at an all-time high currently, namely about 0.25 USD per transaction:

https://blockchain.info/charts/transaction-fees-usd?timespan...

This is a level where fees start to hurt by destroying previously viable business cases. It is also equivalent to costs of 500'000 USD per GB of storage on the block chain. I agree that block chain storage should not be given away for free, but 0.25 USD per transaction is too much. Everyone would win if we would allow for more. More users could use Bitcoin, more startups could build on Bitcoin, and the miners would earn more money (thanks to more transaction). The only ones who would not benefit is blockstream, as the demand for their competing solution is reduced.

Well, he’s a career politician.

Other career politicians you should know: David Cameron, Boris Johnson, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, Angela Merkel, etc.

They do not have much of an own opinion they want to push – often they couldn’t care much, as both solutions would be okay for them.

So they vote for whatever polls or lobbies say is popular or profitable.

This isn’t necessarily bad – Merkel has been called at times the "walking infratest-dimap poll", specifically because she always pushed through whatever the people considered important according to polls. Kinda democracy, I guess.

But, in general, it’s nothing awkward, or special – in fact, it’s the way most of politics has been in the past decades.

And considering the alternatives of politicians that are still idealistic, which at the moment are only right-populists like Trump, Farage, Petry, Le Pen, I’m wondering if, for now, career politicians might not be the better solution.

> The point I'm making is that Google did pack up and leave

No they did not. There is a Google Spain and a Google France. They can't escape the Spanish law or the french law if they have an office in these countries, no matter where Google trully is incorporated, and there is an obvious reason why they have officies in these countries.

So what Google Spain and Google France do is that they pay huge fees to Google Ireland for the use of Google brand, so they never make a profit officially, then the money is ex filtrated from Google Ireland to tax havens.

But they did not leave Spain nor France.

> Then PHP came along and made things a great deal easier because managing a server was hard, and PHP just worked pretty much everywhere. In that sense PHP was amazing.

This. My first web programming was in Perl [1], and using PHP was much simpler to get into. You just uploaded it and it worked.

I think the biggest problem with PHP was it was a hammer and everything looked like a nail. That created a lot of spaghetti code.

[1] I still have a soft spot in my heart for Perl. I don't think it was an issue of "PHP is better than Perl", just that PHP was easier/faster.
Kafka was himself an author. I think authors like to believe that their work changes people, that books and other writing are not simply content to be tailored for specific demographics.

That is kind of the point. Online ads should go back being exactly like print ads are. Sold individually, static, untargeted and un-trackable. Not because the ad-networks, advertisers or site owners think its best, but because its the only type of ad that the viewers will accept eventually.
