Namecoin exists, but governments are never gonna just be like "hey, don't pay taxes, no problem".

What would be really interesting is if some day you could buy a self-driving car with Ethereum. With an Uber-like app that accepts payment in Ethereum, and blockchain investments to rapidly scale the business up and reinvest profits, one could see a self-driving car company dominate the market in a far shorter time than it took Uber to do so.

Why can't a regular company do that? Blockchian payments are really the very least of your problems if you are trying to create a profitable self-driving car company.

What benefit does it offer other than being cool?
HN is frustratingly pedantic sometimes.

"It's not like Nadella fired every one and started afresh." is a colloquialism. d--b was basically saying "it's not like Nadella did a major overhaul.

With which jonknee disagrees, citing a layoff of 18,000. To which simonh claims is not a major overhaul since Microsoft is nebulously enormous. To which piaste disagrees, as 18k was actually 15.7% of the company.

You can all continue to debate whether or not 15.7% is a major overhaul, whether the actual people they fired were significant, etc...

But you quoting a colloquialism and asking us all to take it literally is not helpful to the discussion, or the culture of HN.
I would say it's a mistake, but you never know. This style has been used for github enterprise to make it "differentiate" from github.com, I don't think it's a good idea to make them look the same...

The $64 G4560 making the i3 redundant, Kabylake X, and now this. This seems like a meltdown at Intel.

I think there is a real risk if AMD deliver superb performance and value with Zen, Intel will lose a little bit of the shine and a lot of consumers will not perceive them as innovative anymore.

The sheer number of skus itself shows Intel has been on a bit of a downward spiral towards becoming something of a 'marketing company'. Kabylake has negligible to no gains over skylake making it a pure branding exercise. Risky move for reputation. Time to focus on innovation and value.
Refreshing to see somebody who is not an asshole succeed. Too many people seem to have concluded that success can only be achieved by being some variation of asshole whether it is Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Steve Balmer or Larry Ellison.

Mind you I am a huge fan of Steve Jobs, despite the fact that I think he also was kind of an asshole. People are complicated I don't think Steve succeeded because he was an asshole but due to the other qualities he had not related to being an asshole.

And people of course change. Bill Gates seems like a much nicer man today than he was when he ran Microsoft. I guess much the same happened with Steve Jobs. He was a better person in his older years than in his younger.
Thanks for downvoting me pointlessly.
Given the choice between believing stock analysts and stock prices, I err on the side of believing the price.

The price is set by people betting their money based on all available information INCLUDING stock analyst opinions. Any stock analyst's opinions are ALREADY factored in the price. Unless you have a reason to believe either that the market is irrational or that you have a more informed opinion, there is no more reliable prediction that you can make of future stock prices than current ones.

And remember, there are many, many, many billions of dollars looking for any market irrationality or lack of information so that investors can profit off of mistakes in current stock prices.
I'm making a deep learning library myself.
That last sentence wasn't too precisely worded so I can understand your response...but when I said "so many voices here" I was more thinking about the media entities who were so adamant that there's nothing to see here than the genuine posters on this site. Many of the posters here are well-intentioned, I'm sure, but misled by the media.

Pedophile rings have been uncovered in many walks of life: religion, sports, hollywood and media, business, foreign governments, even Dennis Hastert and many others. Yet somehow the current US political establishment is immune to this?

Look, I'm not saying to lock up anybody without a trial or anything. We admittedly don't know if there's even a crime here yet. I just think the pile of circumstantial evidence is enough to at least warrant some kind of investigation. The media declared this "fake news" and brushed much of the weirdest facts under the rug.

I don't think a big bang approach will work, but gradual small changes which don't conflict with local Standard English pronunciations will, and is already happening.

I pronounce "herd", "bird" and "word" with different vowels, which can be reliably predicted from the spelling. I pronounce "good" and "food" with the same vowel. Most spelling reformers merge the first three and distinguish the second two, because their accent does that. A better approach would be to distinguish them all.

A few words with silent letters could be simplified, e.g. "knight" and "night" could both be spelt "nite" and disambiguated in context, as all accents agree they're homophones.

Webster did get a few limited spelling reforms adopted in the USA, however. Other Americanisms are gradually being adopted. Hardly anyone in the USA writes "theatre" nowadays (as in "Firesign Theatre"), and in the UK we no longer write "computer programme". I still hold out with "connexion" (from Latin "connexio") but it's becoming a lost cause. There's been a regression with "-ize" (the spelling favoured by Fowler and the OED), now increasingly spelt "-ise" in the UK, largely I suspect due to Microsoft's spelling checker.

Back when I did Mac OS 9 development, we used Metrowerks' PowerPlant framework. Constructor, their GUI editor, made laying out user interfaces a joy. It just worked.

When I came back to try iOS development, and saw the sad state of IB, I wondered how things had fallen so far.

I agree that the article's problem is that it depends on deceiving yourself, which, as you said, your ego always ends up paying the price for.

For me, the most helpful thing has been to become more aware of the fluctuation of my own energy/motivation levels, and managing them instead of thinking I should be super-motivated all the time. My subconscious knows which tasks will be a pain to get through and I know I'll tend to procrastinate on those things. So I have to make sure I seize those hours when I have high energy and get the tougher things done. Then when I have less energy later I won't feel bad spending that time doing smaller things or even chilling. Hopefully this creates a virtuous cycle of confidence, which results in progressively more energy and motivation in the future.

I'm dismayed there is scarcely any mention of the quality of works entering Steam. It's patently obvious that quality is the major issue now, not the usability of the platform or developer features.
Realistically they never had a vision for the future. It seems to be a combination of a bunch of visions. Nonetheless, I can't see much about Steam that took 360+ people 13 years to develop. It seems to me that there is a fear of commitment in an environment that tries to foster comfort for it's workforce. Maybe they need someone to point their finger at a goal and start demanding that progress be made to achieve that goal.

Finish the HL2 story arc for crying-out-loud. Or just cancel it so your fans can move on.
I agree it actually bothers me more like this (and I normally love dark themes!)

I had a manager that rated you principally on how many mistakes that you made.

Someone who did half as much work and made half as many mistakes was a much better employee as far as he was concerned.
This is why I prefer local clients to "the web". Everyone has these religious level opinions on the "right" way to style things.

I'm all about the socialized design and implementation of the pipes and tubes. When it comes to the front end, the part I'll be expected to stare at all day, that should look and behave how I see fit.

Customizable clients, with sane defaults for everything! And we'll avoid this sitting around bellyaching about personal tastes all day.

Avoiding commitment out of fear of over-commitment is a problem, but there there is also a danger in taking on more than we think we can handle, because that can lead to feeling overwhelmed and becoming paralyzed and unable to do anything. Probably this affects some personality types more than others. To me it's better to gradually build up confidence in how much we can handle--especially since the inability to say 'no' is such a prevalent disease in some circles.
1. i don't like it, contrast too jarring.

I have a dark theme for GitHub from userstyles.org enabled. I've never run into any issues with it.
Could not disagree more strongly. A readme or changelog is not a document.
Everyone knows that most H1-B visas are used up by Indian firms for Indian nationals. Not by American firms for international talent. All the politicians have known about this abuse for years but this part of US foreign policy and lobby group efforts. India is a considered a natural ally against China and the Muslims.
Well, good point. I totally forgot about those.

That said, is this page representative of what you're talking about or am I missing a better UI? http://mailman.nanog.org/pipermail/nanog/2017-February/threa...

Obviously it could be styled differently/"better" for mass consumption, but that aside, it still exposes private emails and full names of the participants.

And I think the character limit is part of what makes it valuable...I don't really want to read an essay, the forced concision is great for a lot of the use cases. And getting back to Elon, he probably doesn't want to engage in deep discussion with all those randoms, he wants to drop a juicy tidbit, build excitement and let the discussion happen elsewhere. When he has something more to say, he writes a blog post and tweets a link.

I'm actually not defending Twitter's valuation or business prospects, just the value or uniqueness of the service relative to something like a mailing list. I'm still not convinced they're so similar.
The market may not be irrational, but I think that's only because the concept of rationality doesn't apply to markets.

Much as this comment is like 40% trolling and likely to lose me what little karma I have, is there an easy way to see this data in a better projection?
There are edge cases where that could make sense.

I've made live changes in production systems without testing them. If the production system is down, it's probably not going to get more down. Some of those changes are made on the live system and then back-ported into the release process. (Sometimes we aren't even sure which supporting index would help enough to come back, or which query to "neuter" to get site functionality mostly back. In cases like that, you might need to do development in production.) I've approved someone else shipping binaries built on a developer desktop to get a production site back functioning more quickly and then commit the changes are re-release from the build/deployment pipeline. We've pushed changes to prod without QA review. There are times to follow the measured, careful, prudent approach to development (most times) and there are other times where a meter of $10K/minute suggests that a lower latency change process is more appropriate and higher EV for the company.

That said, I've seen far more instances of no-reasonable-excuse events where code that was checked into master couldn't possibly compile, people doing an "svn resolve; svn commit" without actually resolving anything and checking in the ====== ++++++ conflict markers and both conflicted sections, etc.

"There, I fixed it!"

In general: more performant, much better at threading through goroutines. It's worth noting go is compiled, so it's more comparable to a language like C++ than a dynamic language like python or JS.
Nabokov's intention in translating Onegin was obviously to create something like the circumstances of "Pale Fire." It has always struck me as funny that this is brought up as some kind of critical debate about approaches to translation, when it was more along the lines of performance art.
In my case I didn't choose to get off the merry-go-round. It happened. I choose to get back on with meds because not choosing was too painful possibly leading to unfortunate ends. I am lucky that meds worked for me. My heart goes out to people like David Foster Wallace for which the meds stopped working.
I'm not distrusting the free market. I'm counting on it.

Subsidy does not shift supply and demand. It moves the price/quantity equilibrium point and introduces a deadweight loss.

Every time consumers can pay more, suppliers will charge more. The more competitive an industry is, the less value suppliers will be able to capture by doing so. The less competitive it is, the more value suppliers can extract from any change in equilibrium.

Cash subsidy does not change the increasing consolidation and pricing power of companies like Monsanto, BASF, Bayer, Dow, Dupont, and Syngenta; Deere, CNH, Kubota, AGCO, CLAAS, and Deutz-Fahr; Tyson, JBS, Cargill, and Leucadia National; ADM, Bunge, Cargill (again), Glencore, and Dreyfus; Nestle, Coca-Cola, General Mills, Pepsi, Unilever, Mondelez (Kraft), Danone, Kellogg's, ABF, and Mars.

The world is a big place. Only ten companies stock the majority of its grocery shelves. A handful of companies dominate grains and meats. Only a few rule over agricultural equipment. A tiny number controls pesticides, herbicides, fertilizers, and specialty seeds. 7 billion people need to eat.

If you give every one of them $5 to buy a sandwich, you can be damned sure that the local spot price of a formerly $5 sandwich is going to rise somewhere between $0.01 and $5. If you're standing between Subway, Jimmy John's, Quizno's, Blimpie's, McDonald's, Burger King, Arbys, and a dozen other sandwich-sellers, that price won't jump by much. But if you're eating at The Only Game In Town Deli, enjoy your $9.49 pastrami.

Nobody works for free. We have been able to over-produce without limit for decades, but we haven't, because we ration resources with the price system. Someone only produces something if you can prove that you want it badly enough, by sacrificing some of your own market alternatives. At some point, someone will turn off their robot rather than give a pair of boots to a person who isn't even going to do so much as to bend over and kiss their ass in exchange. And that's when you have to pick up the rifle, and say, "you turn that machine back on, because we don't want to live in a world that runs on dominance and humiliation." If you want to provide everyone with necessities, you must be prepared to use force to encourage that excess production.
> "Capitalist realism as I understand it cannot be confined to art or to the quasi-propagandistic way in which advertising functions. It is more like a pervasive atmosphere, conditioning not only the production of culture but also the regulation of work and education, and acting as a kind of invisible barrier constraining thought and action."

Can relate to this so hard. Capitalism defines our lives, even the concept of time. It divides our waking hours between consumption, production and rest. I feel it drives people to be unproductive outside of work, because we have conditioned society to respond to payment for labor, when one works for oneself, it is harder to conceptualize the reward.

I'm all for progress, not sure if we are on the best path. Where is the balance, the respect for nature at large and our own human nature?
In my experience frontend editors that designers use generate horrible code. Just as it is turtles all the way down. For frontend editors it is tables all the way down. My first web job was modifying CMS. Someone would tell me put a green box here with inputs for this and that. Then it would go to a designer to change the fonts, and get rid of the square corners. Then the guy would want it moved 5px to the left so it would come back to me. The gut wrenching horrors that would follow still give me nightmares till this day. Everything the designer touch would be placed in a table inside another table inside another table all surrounded by a table. This wasn't just the case with "designers" tools either. I believe windows web forms did a similar thing. It is difficult to generate human readable code that stays up to date with the latest trends. That is reliable enough to work across the spectrum that is the web covering everything from multiple os, web browsers, screen sizes, pixels, and etc. The few that have try were either brave or foolish to believe that they could take on a beast such as frontend, and still be around to tell tales of taming the beast.

That's what I've heard as well, and I agree with that assessment, given that the requirement is to separate untrusted code execution.

At the same time, going back to the initial quote:

> solution architects from Amazon and he wasn't sure if Docker is ready for PII data

A lot of companies are using containers to execute code that manages all kinds of regulated data right now, ya?

The security limitations of Linux namespaces and friends are mostly related to the execution of untrusted code.

GUI front editors are always catching on with new users and pragmatists...I mean for many people WordPress is a GUI editor for making web sties and blogs at a high level of abstraction of widgets and themes.

Wordpress also highlights the tradeoffs anything that abstracts over the underlying code...doing something specific means both knowing significant technical details of WordPress and some non-trivial amount of CSS, HTML, Javascript, and PhP and the specific implementation details of the site in question. If the site is leveraging a significant portion of WordPress's capability then the overhead that comes with using WordPress may be a valuable tradeoff. Likewise if the person maintaining the site has a business doing WordPress sites then they can bring WordPress expertise to bear.

But for a general professional programming practitioner, the more universal tools of programming languages are applicable in more situations...knowing HTML and CSS is useful when working with WordPress and the more expertise a person has with the general tools, the less advantage there is to using WordPress.

Going down the stack from WordPress is possible. But it's still pretty much the case that if I'm using a GUI editor on the happy path, I don't care that it's using React. Using or not using React only matters when I'm off the happy path and have to figure out what the GUI did.

The last problem with front-end development in particular is that committing to a tool is risky, in two years there's a reasonable chance that the underlying technology of the tool will be out of the mainstream: e.g. Angular (one) today.

Good luck.
