Please correct me if I'm wrong, but last I looked the trend is toward:

- Traditional banks are jacking up fees
- For people who already don't need it (good credit, savings) those fees can be waived
- Credit unions can reject you for credit scores (obvs)

Where do the online banks fall on that spectrum? If you need good credit or stable cash you can't spend, it leaves a whole lot of people out in the cold. Never mind that a lot of the same class of people can't always reliably use the tubes to do their transactions (phone primary Internet device, often shut off, often changing numbers).

To me, this was the silliest thing about working on a large typescript project. It slowed build times, we had issues with GitHub throttling, and the typings were commonly incorrect or incomplete.
This is pretty much my position.

I think it is worth noting that the Clintons have been deeply involved in the Democratic party for a long, long time, so it isn't awfully surprising there are personal relationships there.

The other thing I'd note that all this was also true when Obama ran against Clinton.

> The issue is that ethereum isn't the only option here - standard legal contracts exist, and are by far more common. The only real advantage ethereum offers is the immutability aspect - that no one can go back and argue the contract is wrong or invalid.

A court would not see it that way. Contract law would apply to these contracts if the parties to the contract sued each other.

The legal system applies to all contracts, whether on Ethereum or not. Ethereum does not get to exist in its own reality outside of the law.

Therefore, the immutability of an Ethereum contract won't matter very much, because a judge can still invalidate part of it, or all of it, if it contains unconscionable provisions, lack of disclosure, agreement to commit criminal acts, fraud or misrepresentation, simple mistakes, or any one of the many other reasons contracts can be rendered legally unenforceable.

So, I don't see how immutability offers any advantage over standard legal contracts. It won't prevent the courts from determining that a contract is wrong or invalid.
That's not how it works. If two parties in an Ethereum contract sue each other, real judges will get involved, and they will treat Ethereum contracts the same as any other contracts. They won't give a crap about what the Ethereum protocol says about the transaction.

Ethereum contracts do not get to exist outside of the legal system. Courts have jurisdiction over all contracts, period.

My first job, many years ago now, was at a place where the job of the junior (me) included going to the bottlo up the street and bringing back drinks, which often started at 9am.

Everyone from the CEO down was totally sloshed by afternoon, every day. I would absolutely hate to work in that environment, but it's definitely "a thing".
This is one of those real-life-is-this-way kind of things...it's usually hard to change company culture because it reflects the nature or behavior or actions of somebody right from the top. Things won't change unless the person managing things changes. The best thing to do is to enjoy your job as much as you can and keep your little part of the world clean and maybe consider changing jobs if it makes you too unhappy or forces you to compromise on your view-point of how things should be.
Ethereum cannot guarantee anything about enforcement costs if the real-life courts get involved. They have jurisdiction, and will definitely end up being involved if two parties to an Ethereum contract sue each other in real life. Ethereum does not exist in some kind of alternate reality outside of the legal system and contract law.
But with both cases, something clean is at least possible. Solar/wind/stuff not invented yet, could be the source. Phase out the coal and you're done. When petroleum-based combustion happens in the car, you probably wont ever get carbon neutrality.

> Today gmail offers more account security than a typical bank

This could be one of the reasons why Google is seen as biggest threat by retails banks. If Google starts providing retail banking service, I would prefer them to sluggish retails banks which sees technology as a cost center and most are embarrassingly lagging in technical advancements.
Fair enough, I wasn't considering the high limit rooms use a manual shuffle. Still it would be pretty suspicious to walk in, go straight to a high limit table, watch a full shoe, wait until a shuffle happens, then buy in and shoot for the max and win more than the odds say you should.
Ask HN: Does this 'local web' tool exist yet?
If something like this exists, I want to use use it. If not, maybe I want to open source something. Pasted from my idea log as follows:

premise: a local internet that has a lot of curated resources
-If there was an apocalyptic event, this is the database you would want

-it is possible today to have an entirely local version of the web that would amaze anyone from early 2000.
-premise is there is no worry about ip/copyright - it's a hypothetical
-Can be updated, added to, shared, can run with minimal components, can run on its own os
-can store massive amounts of data on a tape drive if needed, index it well and copy blocks to a large hard disk or solid state drive. Lots of ram (64gb+) for fast searching of active blocks

• Encyclopedic data
• edu sites
• original articles/newspaper articles
• backups of abstracts from as many studies as possible
• stack overflow, other similar sites
• text of reddit, submissions with scores above 10
• copies of classic books and technical books/nonfiction
• Top 200 movies, best tv shows full series - various levels of compression as needed
• most useful youtube videos, ted talks, best documentaries
• Links to the most useful software, highly compressed files,etc
• Compilers and IDEs for all common programming languages and learning resources
• datasheets for components by number, etc.
• Top music by year, genre, album, etc.

Yes! What is a meter? One Yard! 1km = 10 football fields (no end-zones)

I don't think you're interpreting the parent post properly -- he or she is simply saying that, for some people, maximizing income is a primary goal; for others, income is just a tool for achieving other goals (family, hobbies, travel, etc). Nothing wrong with either one as such.

Also, you're not charging enough for your hypothetical services. What you really want to do is discount your pricing to, say, $500K but collect on revenue as part of a fee-at-risk deal, assuming you're that hypothetically confident of your hypothetical value-add.
I think you are correct, but I think humans are not as sensitive to distance measurements. If you sprint, and have a 100 yard and 100 meter dash time... Well certainly! If you want to say we just walked 100m to the car, not so much.

Whoa now that is cool! Are there any games out there that currently use this C++ API of Vulkan? Very curious to know if there are any major issues with using it versus the direct C API.

I'm not very knowledge regarding Vulkan so hopefully that isn't a stupid question but I want to brush up on my C++ skills and play with this!

Also how similar is Vulkan to SDL? I used to use SDL quite a bit back in the day and it was awesome but I'm assuming Vulkan is far more comprehensive?

> If she's omnipotent, then she can create a rock so heavy she can't lift it… but probably can lift it.

God can't create a rock too heavy for God to lift because that's nonsense, not because deist philosophy contradicts itself. The question of predestination vs. free will is interesting, and there is plenty of literature on the subject. If nothing else, the Lutheran position might be dissatisfying to some, but it's hard to refute.

I didn't mention omnibenevolence, no, though we have no way of proving whether individual people are 'good', so I don't know why we think we can judge God fairly.

> Any Christian who works on Sunday is "reasonably start[ing] from first principles [and] discover[ing] whether there is a Creator"?

Allowing for exceptions, Christians who work seven days a week or do not belong to a local church (broadly defined) are ignoring clear instructions in scripture. When this happens, it's typically for one of two reasons. One, people know they should be doing things and are simply bad at doing them. Christian theology actually makes amazing amounts of room for people who genuinely struggle with obedience.

The second category is who I was mainly referring to earlier. These people don't obey the scripture because they believe the scriptures are not really authoritative in all cases. That opens up a whole can of worms about which scriptures count, why, and who decides. Regarding the issues addressed by those scriptures, what is really true, why, and who decides? The whole thing becomes very open-ended very fast. I'm not necessarily opposed to that exercise on an intellectual level, but it seems like a lot of work to expect each individual person to take that faith journey alone. When groups of people do it together, well, you end up with a new belief systems like Mormonism, Jehovah's Witnesses, or even Christian Universalism.

Circling back to the particulars of observing the Sabbath, the Jesus of the Bible clearly said that the Sabbath was is for people, not God, and that the spirit of the law was much more important than the rule. In the epistles, it's specifically pointed out as an example of a rule that can be observed in different ways in good faith.

So Christians don't generally beat each other up about Sabbath issues, but it's widely (and casually) accepted that many Americans overwork, which causes personal and family issues, and that there's a lot of wisdom about being disciplined in observing a day of rest.

You didn't answer the question. DX12 has less market than Vulkan, and will always be limited to MS systems. It's not available on PS or iOS and such. So bringing them as a reason to use DX12 instead of Vulkan was pointless.

If only it was ever as easy as data in = results out. The quality, accuracy, granularity, accessibility, and existence of data is an important prerequisite. (For healthcare in America, HIPAA will be a big hurdle) Deep learning has been a big advance in how machine learning has been done, but we have to be careful not to oversell it either or assume it is a panacea to all problems in any domain. You can't just say "I'll just use a deep net here" and expect to be done. Getting meaningful results takes training, proper design of networks, filtering, and feedback systems. Lastly there's the issue of what is unspecified. What if an architecture AI designs an optimal building conforming to all proper checks, but is in the end ugly as sin. You spent all that time creating the perfect algorithm that was trained on architecture rules and experience, but either forgot to include or couldn't derive a metric for aesthetics or uniqueness. What if AI doctors become infallible with instant access to contraindications and medical literature, but in the end has no bedside manner and no physical presence to actually convince a patient to listen to them? What if your tax bot was deemed illegal for helping circumvent paying taxes? You might have a solution for all of these, but the fact that problems like these exist/could exit should be a sign that nothing is "a simple a+b=c".

They will eventually, when they'll get fed up with MS lock-in stupidity. In order for it to happen, competing market should put more pressure on MS. MS drops lock-in only from fear of competition. And it will eventually happen - there is no need for reinventing the wheel.
Clickbait doesn't (necessarily) apply to the quality of the content. It does, however, apply to the headline tease. "A <foo>", "This guy...", "A state...", etc., are all needlessly ambiguous phrases. They should be replaced with the subject they refer to.

Is there a more detailed comparison?

For example,

>Executable logic can be passed through Failsafe as simple lambda expressions or method references. In Hystrix, your executable logic needs to be placed in a HystrixCommand implementation

It's not apparent to me what the advantage of either interface is. In both situations I have to define a "lambda" and hold state somewhere(either as an object field or passed into the lambda). Unless I'm something here, either seems acceptable.
It certainly did. The code was the terms of the contract.

From Slock.it:

"""

Take something I found annoying then (full page magazine advert) and compare that to a full page auto play advert that sometimes even has extra adverts that are flashing down the sides.

The idea of having it physically portable on a thumb drive is neat, never thought of that. I just use a vagrant script with a base box that has puppet so I can recreate a VM configured exactly how I want by issuing a single command (vagrant and puppet scripts are on a git server so could be pulled on other machines). I would lose state obviously on a new machine though. I guess one could use a cloud file service to store the VM and state(s) to avoid losing the state via a single point of failure (local physical media of some sort).
I think the pain point of DX12 is it's incompatibility with Windows 7 (and 8). However, Windows 10 is getting a lot of traction and has surpassed Windows 7 in gamers market share (see http://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey/directx/).

With that in mind, if you are working on a AAA game that will come out in a couple of years, your target platforms will most likely be PS4, Xbox One and Windows 10. With those three, Vulkan doesn't make sense; DX12 will be used on Windows and Xbox One, and PS4 has its own proprietary API. Why complicate things with another API if you can use (almost) the same implementation for Xbox One and Windows 10?

If Windows 7 proves itself to be still somewhat popular amongs gamers, then Vulkan might be used to port games to this platform, since it's similar to DX12 so it will be way easier than a DX11 port.

However, right now, if game developers wants to use the latest API, Vulkan is a good choice since you will still be able to target Windows 7. If a lot of big games are released with Vulkan within 2 years, then it might slow down Windows 10's adoption and the market share of Vulkan systems (Windows Vista and up) will stay greater than the DX12 one (Windows 10) for longer. But for how many years? At one point, Windows 10 (or whatever's after) will dominate and the backward compatibility of Vulkan will stop being a useful marketing point.

So I'm not sure why you say there's no reason to use DX12. There's many. There's also a lot of good reasons to choose Vulkan that I didn't talk about here. I just don't see how Vulkan can dominates the Windows market, much like OpenGL.
I love the sense of ethics here. "it's OK, everybody is doing it".

> Ultimately empirical reality has to be the arbiter; no amount of soul searching alone, without evidence, can reveal facts about reality.

To reiterate, I believe strongly in empirical evidence. I'm mostly arguing against it being the sole source of knowledge.

And thanks for sharing the rest of your thoughts. I would call what you believe about physicalism a form of faith since you are aligning your expectations to a system that has a good track record in your experience. And I think that's understandable.

At any rate, if we can have a little humility in admitting the limitations to our own certainty, I believe we'll have more charity when dealing with people from other perspectives.
Land is cheap if you can't build on it. Likely no one else wanted a ~$20k personal picnic spot.
