The biggest criticism of Zcash is the Founder's Reward. Some people say it's greedy, that they should have given away their work for free. I disagree. I think it's great that they will get paid for their work, and it also gives me confidence for the future of the coin. They have an incentive to make Zcash a long-term success. Getting paid for work done should be the default, of course. I could understand that if a billionaire ran a lemonade stand for an afternoon and steadfastly demanded payment with no free handouts, people would criticize that. But it should be expected that normal people get paid for doing real work.
That's not true any more, for recent transmissions. They can lock from first gear. E.g. ZF 8 speed, Mercedes 5,7,9 speeds.
There is no App Store rule that says that you cannot introduce new functionality in an existing application. Why would you think that?

I do not subscribe to the idea that it is a good thing to switch from one DE to another for specific tasks. I think it is better to learn one, master it and stick to it. Otherwise time that should be spent working is spent on tinkering with the DE.

The problem is that it only takes a few hits at $2500/yr to make it worth it to screw a bunch of people out of an already overpriced domain.

So if you serve 15,000 people with .party domains at $29/yr each, you only need 175 people to pay $2,495 and you've already made more money.

I don't mind paying more for a domain, I might even pay a measurable amount of money every month for the right one, but trying to insist that jacki.party is worth $210/mo is bananas.
I have many favorite anecdotes from "Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman" (of course) but one that always sticks with me is this:

The first time I was in Las Vegas I sat down and figured out the odds for everything, and I discovered that the odds for the crap table were something like .493. If I bet a dollar, it would only cost me 1.4 cents. So I thought to myself, “Why am I so reluctant to bet? It hardly costs anything!”

So I started betting, and right away I lost five dollars in succession—one, two, three, four, five. I was supposed to be out only seven cents; instead, I was five dollars behind! I’ve never gambled since then (with my own money, that is). I’m very lucky that I started off losing.
No, not yet (surprisingly).
It's not objectively the best Sci-Fi I've seen, but I have a soft spot for Crichton's film "Runaway" which has some of that in it.
Actually, it is a UIWebView wrapper. Safari is a complete application that does a ton of stuff not appropriate for Firefoc Focus. UIWebView is just a UIKit component to render web pages in a rectangular area on screen.
If you're across the threshold for flagging, you can flag any story on the site in the sense that a link will appear and change to "unflag" when you click it.

If you expect your flag privileges to mean anything more than that, you should probably avoid using "flag" as a downvote, because your flag privileges can be quietly stripped from your account --- in fact, there's any number of heuristics that can do it by cron job, without the moderators even knowing who you are.

The "flag" feature is there to mark stories as off-topic and wholly inappropriate for HN. Nobody on HN thinks this is off-topic for the site.

Just some advice!
The reply I received from get.blog support (last image in the post) stated that "chris.blog ended up being part of the list of reserved domains that are not available for registration". So I imagine they'll either keep it internal or sell it as a premium domain.
Racism is one factor which is impacting my decision making with regard to teaching English in Japan. I have never experienced racism (other than comments when I was younger), so I don't know if I could deal with what I have anecdotally heard to be both institutional and xenophobic

Arthur C. Clarke wrote a short story in which a scientist invents such a device to measure how much his wife talks, relative to him. No idea how easy it could be, but it seems straightforward: connect speech recognition software to a mic and counts the number of words. The only problem could be detecting the speakers when there is more than one.
The gold is at the bottom:

The idea here would be to see if it was possible to control the NVMe
over jtag in order to ask it to perform a DMA read over the PCIe Bus.
In order to do so, the PCI_COMMAND_BUS_MASTER has to be set to 1. We
can assume that since the chip is using remote RAM, it is allowed to
act as a master over PCIe. Here is a snippet of the probing function
of the kernel driver.

(code)

Our goal here is to force the DMA to happen just by controlling the
ARM of the NVMe over JTAG, in order to ask it to dump the region we
alloc'd in kernel and see if we get the data out of it.

In other words, full root exploit of the phone from the NVMe JTAG pins.
Soo... What is the UK government so scared of that they need to do this?
Last time I joined one of those it was filled with spam and terrible articles. May have just been the particular group I suppose.
Why do you feel you speak so little? Is it because of insecurities, working alone or simply because you have little to speak about in the situations you are in?

Oftentimes people speak for the sake of being heard but don't add anything meaningful to the conversation. Then you get the quiet ones who speak very little but when they do, it is meaningful and everyone hears what they say.

I think a lot of us could benefit from learning how to do a little more listening and a little less speaking ;)
Hosting wouldn't be. Speaking certainly could, but that would depend also on his familiarity of the topic.

The meetup crowd, usually, is really cool and understanding.

I was actually thinking of other volunteering events. Soup kitchens, building houses with habitat for humanity, anything really that's a group activity.

Team sports as well.
Libertarianism deals with the rights of the individual over those of the state. This is authoritarianism in action, which is essentially what people advocate when they argue against libertarianism.
To be fair, Subaru has amazing CVT technology which probably skews the stats even more again manual.
I'm a fan of signal to noise ratio over bandwidth when it comes to communication and think talking more isn't a problem if there's good content in it. The problem is that those with higher bandwidth oftentimes lower the signal or transmit at a rate too high for receivers, effectively lowering throughout to almost nothing. Thus, I also agree that being a good speaker has a fair bit to do with how well you listen and adjust.

A lot of people that don't talk much simply don't want to and they may not give any body language to indicate otherwise and more chatty people could be a nuisance as a result.
Yes, the pricing is very attractive. Unfortunately it's still buggy, and lacking many simple features you would expect, e.g. duplicate an analysis someone shared with you to modify it without changing their original copy.
I know such discrimination is unconstitutional, but I do not know if there is legislation to set up penalties.
Interesting. But if someone could remain anonymous, even with a profile being created for that "anonymous entity" and there is nothing tying that anonymous profile back to a real person, that would still seem to be private to me. If the anonymous profile could be connected to a real person, that would seem to be neither anonymous, nor private.

One thing not discussed yet here is that it also appears to me the National Suicide Hotline isn't even handling their calls correctly.

I'm clearly no suicide prevention expert, but questioning the caller on drug use, repeatedly demanding to put weapons (that are not even present) away, then calling a militant police force upon no response, shows that the Hotline isn't really being the sympathetic role they were initially intended to be.

As bad as this situation has been for veterans, it brings to light how poorly (IMO) they are handling citizens reaching out for help as well.
All these things are just different worlds. I'm the same when it comes to medicine or tree surgery or a multitude of different things. I have no idea how a security guard even works!

On this subject though, I did EE in the past and now software and it's roughly as complicated as throwing some code together after a few years of practice. Except that the design rules, physics and CAD software are perhaps ironically somewhat better defined than what the software industry has managed! Many an EE has looked in awe at the software that we write too.
If I recall correctly, more than 500btc was traded when the price was over 100 btc per Zcash - $350,000 in trade volume at a price exceeding $70,000 per token, when the price today has fallen to about $100 per token. Max price was almost $2,000,000 per token, someone actually literally spent that much.

Perhaps the greatest example I've ever seen of tulip mania. And I'm fairly confident those were real trades, as they occurred on a public exchange where anyone with money or zcash was able to buy or sell at any time. Granted, at this point there were only dozens of people with the asset, but anyone was able to mine the currency and blocks were being found every 2.5 minutes using commodity hardware (e.g. laptops and desktops).
That's an idea! Motivating people to use the argument format has proven a challenge, since it often takes more time to break an argument down into this format than to string sentences together into a paragraph, but I'm confident that is a solvable problem.

You can search argument content at https://sequiturs.com/search?q=&page=0&limit=10.

The search indexing is pretty decent considering how easy it was to implement--I'm using Postgres's full text search capability. It's high on my to-do list to make comment content searchable as well, and at some point I'd like to switch over to ElasticSearch.

Can't find an example site to look at.
The new Prime Minister Theresa May does not hold any principles that would place limits on the powers of the government. She was a well known "champion of the snoopers charter," (wiki) when she was home secretary. There is a british tendency to be overbearing authoritarians that provides fuel to their various secession movements. Britain is unlikely to maintain its current borders for many years after Brexit.
Ditto, it seems most to mostly be stories of:

"10 years ago I was a alcoholic leprechaun but today I finally got that job working as a chimney sweep"

"Here's a picture of me with a homeless person I spoke to on my way to work today. It turns out they are people too."

"Don't you just love our military personnel/democracy/babies? One like to show you love these things. One share to show you don't hate them."

"Here's a pointless meme about mindfullness"

"Hey look at my dog wearing a santa costume" (actually that would be kind of cool)
it would be foolish to not encrypt the data at rest and probably just as silly to keep the keys in the same location.

Where does this broken system come from?

Did anybody construct it, or has it just emerged out of the surrounding world?

Is it the same across the planet?
It's definitely a real thing. It's usually referred to as "brake fade" in car enthusiast communities. It’s usually more of an issue when racing, but it can happen if you have to do many hard stops during regular driving as well. I think it has to do with the pads releasing a gas when they get hot which creates a thin layer of “air” between the pad and the rotor.

It's the reason that sports cars generally come with bigger brakes. Sure, a Toyota Corolla might be able to stop in a similar distance, but things change when you have to do it 5 times in a row.

For most people, it’s not really an issue though.
This summarizes all what I could not forge into words.
It seems like the argument is because the language doesn't force you to use static types, in the long run it could be bad.

But since it provides you the option to use static types, I think the limitation is more in whether you do so or not, not in the language. If anything, by not forcing you to use static types, the language provides more options, which seems like a good thing...

> What about postmenopausal women, a point raised elsewhere
in this discussion?

What about them? By your logic, won't be able to get married, unless they adopt, since they can't have kids, it's clear-cut.

> What about men and women who simply aren't fertile, for whatever reason?

Same, no marriage, unless they adopt.

> What about families in places where births aren't registered? Such places still exist.

Can't get married unless they register their kids. We can't have them benefitting from the institution of marriage if they aren't willing to do the legwork.

> What about the death of a couple's only child?

Could go either way, they gave it a shot. I'd be for letting them stay married.

> What effect has all this on divorce?

I don't know, what effect does not letting homosexuals get married have on divorce? Same deal.

> "Creepy edge cases."

Not really, though, they have pretty easy answers.

> And I can't see how maintaining all this additional information on which married status is now contingent (unless it's not!) could be achieved without a massive increase of bureaucracy, with its concomitant cost.

What's the additional information? It's literally "do you have any children? yes/no", which the state already has. You're literally advocating guesswork instead of using one simple and readily available piece of information.

I don't know, these arguments are so bad that I feel like you're trying to avoid recognizing that my solution is clearly superior. It makes me wonder what the real reason for you being against homosexual marriage is.

I'd rather own the taxed coin. It's a great model to align the interests of the developers and the coin owners. When new features are introduced by the core team it may result in a fork. The z-cash alts may not fork the exact same way, and wallet makers most likely won’t support all forks - making a market for z-cash alts less likely.
That's massively expensive.
Wow, didn't realise it had made it this far let alone being passed today.

Just to clarify the Veteran Crisis Hot line was renamed in 2011 from the Veteran Suicidal Prevention Line.

If he was suicidal it even makes the actions of the police even worse. The whole issue is not the initial interactions with the police nor their initial entree into the home. The issue is the second and third entree into his home and unconstitutional search of his home. This occurred hours after the first search was conducted and the subject was getting medical treatment.
correct. If the only way to have money to spend is to work then if nobody works nobody can buy anything. UBI is one way to make people who don't necessarily work have money to spend. Taxing the wealthy is one way to fund UBI (the other is printing money, which is basically taxing savings indiscriminately by causing inflation). I honestly don't know if that would work on practice. But the point is that merely taxing the wealthy and do nothing to address the fact that people without jobs don't get money won't fix the problem of jobs disappearing. However there is a big social and psychology barrier that prevents giving money go those who "don't deserve it" by sweating for it. On of the big drawbacks in current welfare systems though is that whoever currently benefits from them has little incentive to work a little bit because they would get the same amount of money but they'll actually have to work. The only incentive is to get a job that would pay more than what you get from welfare and that creates a barrier and also reinforces the stereotype of some people just not be willing to work (e.g. because of laziness).
Was your talk recorded? I'd really like a link if so.
In the early days of windowed operating systems, absolute consistency in the look and feel helped people navigate unfamiliar apps. The proliferation of widgets on the web, and the use of different devices with different standards, has destroyed that rationale. The only thing consistency is good for anymore is establishing branding.
Well, we're fucked.
The JTAG angle is unnecessary, and difficult to do in practice with this LGA70 chip face-down soldered onto the logic board.

It really means there is a Cortex-A (so lots of brunt) with a firmware update mechanism that has 1) direct access to the application processor RAM and 2) direct access to the plentiful permanent storage.
Oh good god, so it is. I think my brain tried to reduce the headline to something a bit less extreme...
20 years ago automatics were 1) much more expensive 2) had worse gas mileage 3) were slow shifting 4) did not have fast up/down shift controls 5) had sloppy throttle response

thanks to economies of scale and new technology, car makers have bridged the gap on all fronts. So while I personally prefer manuals I can see why most people just get automatics, given the high cost of learning manual.

teaching people to stop-start manual on steep hills is extremely hard and frustrating for all parties. it's hard on the car too.
"Jake Braking" is similar, but pertains more to diesel engines which have a special valve to support this since they work differently.

Stop talking about 'reskinned safari' please. This is not how it works. It is not what those alternative browsers currently are. You make it sound like we just change the color of the bezel. There are huge amounts of code around the WKWebView, which is the only thing common between browsers.
