At McDonald's they specifically market it as "the fish" in a non specific way.

In a fine dining establishment they do actually market it as a particular type of fish. And particular types of fish do typically have different attributes (Heavy metal content or fat and oil content, parasite risks).

If I sold you an "i7 with 16gig of ram" but when you opened the computer up it was actually a pentium 4 with 2 gig, you'd be really pissed. If I had just marketed it as "computer" you wouldn't have a basis to be angry.

Imagine if I came back to you and said "oh gee, I guess that happens, knowing what I'm selling you is tough, our records aren't so good."

I would be completely fucking negligent, at best, and more likely I would be dishonest. Particularly when I'm selling an inferior product as a superior one. You'll notice no one ever asks for escolar and gets something that is actually much better. If it happens repeatedly and endemically, it is almost certainly fraud.

They're currently making a lot of money bilking consumers with an inferior product to what they have advertised.

I guess my point is that mislabeled is too generous to the character of the industry. Mislabeled implies someone made a "mistake." "Fake fish" maybe isn't exactly semantically correct, but it is closer to the nature of crime. (Maybe we can agree on "fraudulent fish", I think I like that better.)
Something something information asymmetry problem
Disclaimer: I work for Red Hat on OpenShift v3, an open-source enterprise-ready distribution of Kubernetes.

We have solved #2 by deploying an internal docker registry [1], push to it once a build succeeds, and automatically (or not) trigger deployments once an expected image lands in it [2].

In the future we will support webhooks so you can trigger deployments from external registries such as quay.io or DockerHub.

You can have a look at the all-in-one VM we have:

git clone https://github.com/openshift/origin

cd origin

vagrant up

vagrant ssh

oc cluster up

The last command will spin up a cluster with a docker registry, a HTTP router, and a bunch of images for you to play around with.

> Law-abiding citizens rarely have need for $100 bills

That's a point of view of someone who has never lived near the poverty line or other economically problematic situations. If you deal in cash without a bank account, $100 bills, while not particularly common, are not rare either. Accusing these people of being lawbreakers simply because they have crappy jobs, are bankrupt, pay their rent in cash, etc is highly offensive (and classist).

> That suggests the bills are circulating mainly in the underground economy.

So what? Underground does not mean illegal.

> If the biggest bill were worth $10, rather than $100, delivering someone a million bucks under the table would require a 220-pound chest rather than a 22-pound briefcase.

No, it would require something like a check or money order, creative accounting, and possibly an offshore bank account or two. Bribery, laundering, and other financial crimes are not generally done with cash; they happen on the books, often through legal means. Did this "Harvard economist" miss the SCOTUS rulings that de facto legalized bribery?

> Forcing people to use smaller bills, Rogoff argues, might make crime more conspicuous and less convenient.

No, it merely moves many types of petty crime into barter and alternative economies. The higher-value crimes (usually) don't use cash.
For someone who is supposed to be intelligent this proposal sounds dangerously inept. They start from the premise that only bad people use $100 bills w/o providing any evidence the claim is true. Incredibly they then use that to support their thesis that both $20, and $50 bills should be phased out as well.

The assumption that a cashless society would give a central bank more control by making negative interest rates viable is also totally nuts. People would just end up buying things like precious metals, low inflation crypto currencies or anything else that emerged as a defacto store of value. In Baltimore for example there is a strong underground market for name brand laundry detergent and as a result you can barter a jug of it for drugs.

Fentanyl Maker Donates Big to Campaign Opposing Pot Legalization – US News
I don't think the public sector has the motive you claim they do. I think that in practice, the actual motivation of each department of government on every scale is to draw more funding to their own budget in a massive power struggle for slices of the societal pie. There aren't shareholders in the private sense, but the profit motive is still to grow revenues/power and get them assigned to yourself.

Taxpayers don't want efficient use of funds either. From the point of view of a taxpayer, the most effective use of funds is to have them all benefit yourself. Everyone wants to maximize the piece of the pie that is assigned to them. Politicians use this as an excuse to grow the scope of government, regardless of what side you vote for. As a result, the voting apparatus does not serve to optimize government efficiency.
There are many people noodling around with some implementation or another of Stephenson's "Young Lady's Illustrated Primer". [1] [2] [3] [4] There is indeed an XPRIZE that directly acknowledges the influence of Stephenson's vision. [5] This article contributes to that ongoing, healthy mania to create such a tool by identifying some of the hard AI problems that need to be solved to realize the tool.

I think Stephenson side-stepped some of the identified hard AI problems by indicating the visualized primer was designed towards children and teens in mind with a pre-configured topic "curriculum" (addresses some of Navigating a Semantic Graph and Knowledge Ingestion Engine), and the original primer used "ractors", professional actors who voiced and emoted avatars in the primer with appropriate cues from the primer on what to say, etc. (addresses Natural Language Understanding and Natural Language Generation).

Australian traffic signals are also 'smart'. They don't cycle in non-peak hours. They just use sensors to detect oncoming traffic and route appropriately. Main roads default to green, but lights on side roads will switch just before you drive up to them.

This is why the buttons are necessary during non-peak hours... If I press the button, the light will go red as soon as it's safe. Jaywalking isn't a crime here, but this is still very useful in some situations.

Our "Coordinated Adaptive Traffic Control" systems are pretty awesome. Even during peak traffic, all the lights are controlled by a central control room, with a computer that manages all traffic flow as efficiently as possible. It will sometimes shut down a lane or modify a speed limit to allow emergency traffic through or prevent grid-lock further down the freeway, reducing overall travel time. It's able to simulate different traffic flow models and select the best one. The result is that even during peak hours, I can easily travel from the outer suburbs to the CBD (30k/20mi) in approx 40 minutes.

I think that's exactly backwards.

If you want to be an olympic medalist, you need to work as hard as an olympic medalist.

If you do not want to be an olympic medalist, you do not work more hard than an olympic medalist.

And indeed, if you actually did work as hard as an olympic medalist, you could possibly receive an olympic medal.
I've never had problems spending very old banknotes in the US.
Bills have a pretty short lifetime. Banks can readily exchange them with the government (presumably, for credit in their account with the Fed) and vice versa. The government then destroys then old or mutilated ones. I imagine if the government simply stopped printing physical 100s, the number in circulation would dwindle pretty fast.

Those 3000 words are not random in natural language. If they were your calculation would be correct, but they aren't so the actual entropy of the system is likely nowhere near 138 bits. In other words, song title or not, if the sentence was an actual sentence the entropy is much lower. To get maximum entropy out of sets of words you have to use something equivalent to Diceware.

It actually works surprisingly well, but I've not traded in my SLR. Being able to do something similar with a second lens -- or even using Project Tango sensors -- to avoid the post-exposure motion would make it more useful, but I suspect still not as versatile (and even with my SLR, the difference between my relatively cheap lenses and borrowing someone's more expensive lenses, on the same body, is quite obvious).

If anything you should put your anger towards Apple who haven't done anything to osx platform for ages.

With regards to security I both understand it and take it very seriously but I have no interest in theoretical debates. In this specific case I have no issue with what Dropbox is doing. I have an issue that Apple haven't found a way to make these things possible without the exploit.

If you feel strongly about it, be my guest delete all your accounts. I see no reason not to trust Dropbox, but hey each to their own.
I'd guess somewhere in North Western Europe. I live in the Netherlands and here cash is rarely used. All merchants of all kinds, including the lowliest street vendors, accept debit cards with is the main form of payment medium. For buying off classifieds I usually just send the money via bank transfer.

Various people still love the Euro. Mostly though it is those that can pack up their laptop and credit card and work from anywhere with a internet connection. Oh and the businesses trading across EU's internal borders.

The crazy part is how those nations with the biggest problems right now are those that followed the Euro requirements most closely. While the biggest offender is the one swinging the punishment stick...
I'm not that familiar with the auth situation for your wiki of choice, but "no registered users" isnt the only solution to "too much access control".

Having people authenticate as themselves, but still allowing global write to the wiki for all users gives you an electronic paper trail of who modified what.

Another solution might also just be "the right amount of access control". Maybe there's a good reason only your HR department can edit the leave policy page, and you could/should have asked HR to update the page, or asked for access to edit it yourself.

OK, what's the reason then? I didn't hear you give one.

Every PGSQL query already return multiple values because you get a command status along with the result set.

Every Golang call returns 2 values. They even make it very easy for you to return even more values. So what is your reasoning?

This sounds great if you are VISA or MasterCard charging a fee for every transaction. The problem with cash is that it is too hard to get 100 and 50 dollar bills. This man clearly doesn't get out. Going for dinner for 80 dollars means carrying 5 $20 bills which is a serious PITA. Groceries, fuel, lightning ear buds, all the same.

It's pretty similar in the US with $100 notes, actually - they're really not easy to come by or use for legitimate everyday purposes.

ATMs don't issue them, and many shops either won't take them at all, or will take them only after quite a bit of fussing around with their counterfeit detector pen, inspecting them under UV, etc.

Seconded. At least some screenshots, a video or two of game play, and a general story and game play idea, would help a lot for potential players to determine whether they would be interested or not.

There are a bunch of ways you can test the systems apart from just looking at fatality numbers. Here's a TV show testing auto-braking systems for example. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PzHM6PVTjXo

You could easily extend that to a test track with all sorts of stuff self driving cars find hard - oil spills, diversions, people / animals / plastic bags jumping out and so on.
Not sure what the upside would be there. I'd dummy up too.
The UK has always been unique like that. A lot of it has to do with there only really being 3-5 large banks so checks were always quickly verified and cashed making avoiding large sums of cash easy.

And once people get out of the habit of carrying large quantities of cash around they rarely go back to it...
So if two cameras are better than one, why not three, or four? I assume the hardware is not too expensive (compared to the cost of the phone), and then you can have really nice optical zoom capabilities.

I'm in Ukraine, but I guess it applies to any country without a strong own currency.
I support this position, it is just not a very popular one with today's political thinking.

It is evident that different societies have different rates of things like social cohesion, trust, violence and about a million other variables.

There are some societies that have managed to emulate the success of Europeans, such as the Japanese and Chinese, so we know it is possible, that is the good news.

The bad news is that there is no evidence Africa is attempting a similar feat. That is the fact and it is as plain as day.

Think of the enormity of it. The richest people (Euros) trade with the East Asians across a terrific distance by land or sea. All those ships bypass Africa. It is incredible.

As a tool for that, chatops is pretty cool because you can easily record your conversations but also your actions.
First of all, it is a very good and fair question. You're right, you can achieve the same with mnesia + ram_copies + fragmentation, BUT performance won't ever be the same, mnesia is a heavy layer on top of ETS and DETS, if you want to write something, in case of fragmentation, you use transaction, and that takes time, and compared with ETS or Shards, latency is much much higher – even if you can use dirty_write is much higher. I did performance test some time ago, in order to compare this, and mesia_frag started to fail and crash pretty soon – probably after 3000-5000 ops/seg. I did some performances test with shards that you can check here: http://cabol.github.io/posts/2016/04/14/sharding-support-for... (BTW, I'll add mnesia_frag to that bench test). Besides I wrote some other test, which includes mnesia_frag here: https://github.com/cabol/shards_bench. Furthermore, you can do it out yourself using "https://github.com/basho/basho_bench" which is the tool that I've been using so far.

IMHO, they are similar libs/tools, which drives similar issues, but depending on the case, one tool can fits better to solve a set of problems than the other and viceverza. For example, the typical case, caching and/or distributed caching, here you want to be able not only to get the best performance, but also scale-out over the write-locks and contention, without compromise performance – as much as possible. In this case, ETS or Shards might be a better option. But suppose that you want to be able to handle RAM and Disk persistence transparently, you want to do it configurable, besides, be able to handle transaction, well, in that case, go for mnesia might be better option. But in general, if you always gonna have memory storage, might be better option go for ETS or in this case Shards, which add the ability to scale linearly over locks and contention issues.

Thanks!!
You could say it's bliss, right?
> Law-abiding citizens rarely have need for $100 bills

What a bizarre thing to say. While I don't use them frequently, whenever I sell my stuff off, usually I'll receive $100 bills.

People generally don't carry $500+ in cash, so when they go to the bank to withdraw, it'll come in $100 notes.
> Did this "Harvard economist" miss the SCOTUS rulings that de facto legalized bribery?

Which one was that?
Those two turns are correct, they run when a game starts. Disconnects are because of all the people from hackernews.

Do you have a source for this? In the US, transactions over a certain limit have a paper trail; many transactions adding up to over that limit raise tons of red flags.

Since the goal is total power, our grand kids will live in no society at all. They will be automatons, live in pain/in fear/in despair/not at all, or be Gestapo officers. But they'll be too regressed to even be able to hate their ancestors for their cowardice and hybris, so that's good.

I think the OP didn't mean that these post mortems are not beneficial internally, what he said that disclosing all these details to the public can be confusing and maybe counter productive.
While magicial thinking is pretty universal, it's true that the US (where GiveDirectly comes from) has ridiculous amounts of it. For example, 42% believe "God created humans in their present form 10,000 years ago." (http://www.gallup.com/poll/170822/believe-creationist-view-h...)

Even those who aren't climate change deniers still seem committed to running us off the cliff with climate change. Perhaps because they believe in an "invisible hand" of Providence.

The posted article is an example. They could've simply quoted what at least one Kenyan thought about it. Anyone operating within a culture which values rationality would've done so. But not these people.
Also, when someone replies to my comments, I do not get any notification. Can that feature be added? Or is it a limitation of the HN API?

It may be bad for the internet, but it seems fair and also consistent with earlier EU rules, such as the "right to be forgotten". It places an extra burden on the big, commercial sites to remove links (or stop linking on the first place) to content that is considered illegal in the EU.

Of course, that may be considered bad for the internet, because most people, as long as they are not the victim, like to see leaked nudes and download stuff for free, and the internet has grown in no small part because of this.

I think that now that the internet is mature as it is, some limits are necessary to keep things fair and protect people from the mob, and the internet will live on nonetheless.

Like the Norwegian piece the other day about the famous Vietnam war picture that Facebook considered nudity this is yet another signal that local law and culture needs more consideration by the big web publishers.
