"Premined" is not strictly accurate. 1/10 of the mining reward will eventually go toward a wallet controlled by the developers. The rate of the incentive payments starts out high and decreases over time. [1] This is different from a premine or instamine, where the devs begin life with a stash of protocol tokens, which they then have a strong inclination to dump on the market.

Zcash 10% vig is an improvement over instamine or premine. I agree this structure is still not ideal for maximizing zcash value, as it creates an incentive to clone zcash (without the vig). Zcash looks like it will be rather more difficult to clone than, say, Ethereum. But it will certainly be done. I also expect that some of zcash features will be added to other protocols, thus diluting its tech advantage.

No one has figured out how to force everyone to invest in the same version of bitcoin, and perhaps that is as it should be. I still expect the Zcash devs to make out OK.

Another way of thinking about the warm-intro suggestion is that most investors are overwhelmed with pitches and need a basic filter. Other expert humans are still the best filter they have. Which is kind of too bad, because all of those humans also face the same constraints on their time, network and expertise. While it may be far-fetched, it's interesting to think about how we might create a more automatic filter for startups that would surface those both of interest to the VC and with some chance of success, relying on self-reported data in Crunchbase and Angel List, biographical data about the founding team and its network, and maybe press and analyst reports about an industry.
Perhaps the `fn` key will remain, and switch the bar into a mode that has screen brightness, keyboard brightness, volume, etc. I think that would work ok, but yeah, it's a shame about Esc.

Honestly? PHP hehhehee. PHP is a language that works for people who want to get things done on the internet in a very uncomplicated way :P... Plus, it is also quite powerful if you actually go into detail and access low level things as well. I hated Java for example... But PHP.. Oh, you can programme such wonderful things with just a text editor.
>Lots of things here I don't like, but even the author of the language agrees with me on most of those.

Working with Clojure..would be great if you could expand on these. Curious as to what they are/Rich agrees with.

I find Clojure lacking when it comes to debuggabililty.
In so far as everyone in my medium-ish non trivial codebase seems to find 'clever' solutions that are all but impossible to debug efficiently without a) understanding everything around it and b) printing everything.
Debug statements seem to "ruin the cleanliness" (as well as genuinely ruining threading macro flows.

Do other companies use Clojure for non trivial web applications? Have these Clojurians ever worked on a properly complex system? A lot seem to do just data analysis with Clojure.
More importantly, have they ever worked on a properly complex system that they haven't been involved with from the start where debugging comes back to 'intuition' and 'whack a mole' type debugging?
Firstly, thank you for the feedback. :)

> IMO, if things like novels and poems are considered art then it can be communicating truths, but truths that are difficult to communicate in explicit, theoretical terms.

You're absolutely right. I think that things like novels and poems are located a little farther towards the center on the spectrum I mentioned than something that purely communicates feeling (like an abstract painting). I think the reason they are so successful is that they deliver one or more logically digestible messages along with a feeling. It often seems that people aren't convinced by logic, but rather by a shift in how they feel about something.

> This bit wasn't entirely clear to me and I thought it could be fleshed out a bit more.

Again, you're absolutely right. I felt that way too but I ran out of steam at the time. I think I have the energy to expand on it now. :) What I was trying to say was that your motivations shift based on how you feel, and the more powerful the feeling, the potentially larger the shift. Something is out of balance if you're feeling something very strongly. You'll be motivated to correct that imbalance, and in the process consider a different course of action.

I talked to a friend that had taken a course on AI and minds at MIT and he said he considered emotions a filter on decision space.

> It might fit under that but, as I said above, I think it can be used as a means to communicate truths. Eg to broaden someone's perspective on the world

I haven't quite figured out what a truth is yet. It's definitely a kind of message that emotionally resonates. I sort of sense that the framework I proposed could be worked to encompass them, but I haven't done enough thinking on it yet. In this article I was focusing very narrowly on the extreme case of pure feeling to distill important truths about it, but the middle ground is where most of the important stuff happens. Simple models are good for investigating complex phenomenal since you can see exactly how they work and break down.

I'd be happy to hear your ideas!

It'd be cool if you knew what you were talking about. These definitely can be made to be serverless if you really needed to stick to that strict definition of the word. However, there is a small "introduction" broker (server) involved in most of these kind of WebRTC apps. It basically says, "player A - meet player B. player B - meet player A" - after that the clients talk directly to one another and that server can completely go away and the multi-player functionality will work just fine. The clients communicate peer to peer after that.

From the Ken Burns PBS "Prohibition". I don't have a transcript of it, but here's a quote from PBS:

"The solution the United States had devised to address the problem of alcohol abuse had instead made the problem even worse. The statistics of the period are notoriously unreliable, but it is very clear that in many parts of the United States more people were drinking, and people were drinking more." http://www.pbs.org/kenburns/prohibition/unintended-consequen...

Alcohol related deaths in the US are currently 2.75%. They were 3.2% in 1923.

Looks like that's the case. 'fn' is the lower left key on the Apple keyboard. 4th to the left from the space bar. The images still show a key there (but not enough to see what text is on it), but that's almost certainly still the 'fn' key.

I gave it a try and I found it very useful to design and validate the script of the conversation. It's much more important than similar tools for 2D interfaces (balsamiq, etc). These are 1D UIs flowing in time with very little on screen space, so it's very difficult to get a feeling for what can fit into the screen. That constraints heavily the script.

What I do is keep bundling things together in a dev branch for a while and wait until I have to introduce a breaking change to release it all as a major version.

First off, you shouldn't be edit warring [0], but rather you should discuss issues on the talk page. [1] As for the situation, it sounds like other editors discussed the issue and came to a consensus on how it should be handled. [2] It sounds to me like Wikipedia was able to adapt to a different kind of situation (instead of stubbornly clinging to the "rule of the law") and that you personally just didn't like how it was handled. For that you could ask the relevant WikiProject for guidance [3] or start an RFC [4]. Instead you just came here to complain about how the system worked, just not in your favor; not really constructive.

Yes I was being optimistic because all I had to go off of was your own description. If people are ignoring you, add a comment and tell them to discuss it until a consensus is reached.

But this is not being framed as a lie by omission, rather, a bunch of good reasons (that I support) were made, when the real reason was nation building. Or so is the claim, which DenBeste is acknowledging in the cited item.

And nation building is a very different sort of task, although I'll note we actually were successful at "re-building" the leadership, officer corps, and general relationship with the US in South Vietnam ... before we cut them off at the knees during the North's 2nd massive armored invasion (the first the ARVN with US air support destroyed, 40,000 out of the 150,000 NVA committed managing to make it back north without their equipment, the latter detail BTW helping to bankrupt the USSR). But we didn't try to change the nature of that society, and I don't think we did with Japan, there we just tried to suppress a few specific things that weren't integral to it and the way it functioned, and encourage some others, many of which were reasonably aligned with Japanese mores.

Germany doesn't even count in this list as far as I'm concerned, and South Korea, that would mostly be by example and nudging, given that both of us are still in an official state of war with the DPRK, something the latter reminds us of with fire and blood fairly often.

Whereas trying to make a Muslim Arab country essentially neither? Yeah, right, especially with the sectarian issues, e.g. Shia majority, Sunni once and hope to be future rulers, and the Kurds to the north. And it's not at all clear Bush and many of his advisers ever had a clear and/or correct view of all this ("Islam is a religion of peace"), and that's before the fumbles.

You have to, among other things, factor in that Bremer was no MacArthur, wasn't even the LBJ/Nixon types who retrieved the situation from JFK's "Best and Brightest", and couldn't operate with the same freedom of action, especially compared to the WWII examples, for both the circumstances, and the media and political situation changed. E.g. "Vietnam was the first war broadcast on TV".

Ask HN: How do you decide whether to use a SPA or not?
Assuming you can make the choice, how do you decide if you want a single-page application or a good ol' server rendered sprinkled with JavaScript one?

I've had an idea for a project I want to build for a while. It's pretty CRUD-y but the resource the users have is a "timer", so to speak. Basically, a runnable recipe that counts down with time and shows which ingredients to put in at which time.

Everything can be server-rendered except the actual timer, which is what makes the choice hard for me (I'm fairly inexperienced and only been forced to do SPAs at work).

Assuming I go server-renderd, what should I use for the JS such that the timers are just "components" that are easy to render but don't take over the page like a full SPA would?

Thanks.

No, your argument is pretty offensive.

The difference between your example and drug policy, is that guard rails are there to prevent accidents. Same with laws on speeding (protects others from speeders). American drug policy doesn't prevent accidents, it restricts individual freedoms under the guise of protecting society.

My family has serious problems with alcoholism. As a result, I don't drink because it would be a very risky personal choice. Statistically I'd probably be dead before retirement. However, I don't have a problem with weed or LSD. They're fun and I know how to use them safely, so I do.

Why do we have guardrails for LSD? Works fine for me! Why do we have national guardrails for weed? It's legal in my state and works fine for me! And why in the world is alcohol legal? This is a toxic substance, it's seriously risky for me, and putting it out in the open could lead to bad decisions on my part. We should ban it!

No. We shouldn't ban alcohol. Nor weed or LSD. These aren't guardrails protecting us from the cliff. These law are baby fences, presuming that some government official needs to protect us from ourselves.

methadone gets you just as high as heroin. the only difference is that its made by in a lab pharmaceuticals companies and controlled by the government. and methadone withdrawal is fatal too.

this recent John Oliver piece on opiods holds a lot of truth: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5pdPrQFjo2o

Benzodiazepines are far more addictive than opioids, and while their abuse has declined a bit, a lot of people still abuse xanax and klonopin, and before that valium. that' a lot of doctors directly and indirectly enabling all those addicts.

why hasn't the war on drugs taken on the opioid and benzo manufacturers? it makes me wonder why pharmaceutical companies and their executives aren't locked up like the drug kingpins they are?
