There is already a regulated market - the Winklevoss' Gemini exchange. They went out of their way to make sure everything about their exchange is in compliance, specifically for it to serve as the market for the ETF commodity.

Unfortunately for them, the SEC, quite reasonably, requires more than one regulated market to exist for the underlying commodity, and probably preferably not owned by the company behind the ETF itself. Seems obvious in retrospect.

"The only reason you're not releasing your side projects to the world is because you are afraid of criticism."

No, I have side projects to learn and play. Lots of things I try end up in production code at work because I learned how to do it. Of the projects that are in pretty good shape I don't want to ship it because then I'm committed to supporting it. Shipping turns a side project into a job and unless I have a killer app that will make me some serious money - I have a job and I don't need another.
If the registry goes down, WHOIS, domain checks, and DNS/nameserver updates all start failing instantly. Anyone looking to buy a domain, or update an existing one, will get error messages. If someone happens to be caught in the middle of, say, migrating hosting providers as this happens (which is statistically likely when there are a large number of domain names under management), then they'll be unable to update DNS to point to where the domain name should now go. As the outage grows in length, you'll gradually accumulate more and more stale nameserver entries that cannot be updated, resulting in an increasing number of domain names failing to resolve properly, and thus dropping off the Internet. Additionally, ICANN has stability and uptime requirements, to the point where your gTLDs can be taken away from you if you're doing a poor job of running your registry.

Now, granted, we aren't currently running any hugely important TLDs at the moment, but that won't necessarily continue to be the case going forward, plus we aren't the only ones to be using our codebase ... http://www.donuts.domains/donuts-media/press-releases/donuts...

No problem. Great site.
That's exactly correct. Consider the equation for kinetic energy:

E = 1/2 m*v^2

The energy to go from 0-10 m/s is the difference in this value (for 1kg e.g.):

dE = E1 - E0 = 1/2(10^2) - 1/2(0^2) = 50J

To go from 10m/s to 20m/s:

dE = E2 - E1 = 1/2(20^2) - 1/2(10^2) = 200 - 50 = 150J

In fact by solving for velocity you can figure out what happens if you put another 50J into your object that's already going 10m/s:

v = sqrt(2*E) = sqrt(200) = 14.1m/s

When you double the energy, you only get 1.4 times the speed.
With the pace of advancements in gene editing and the availability of biology maker-spaces, I expect that we're soon going to find out that the "3D printed guns" issue of hobbyist biology will be simple cells like yeast modified to synthesize illegal drugs. It may not be as efficient as industrial chemistry could be, but it only takes one entity producing such a cell before it will become a mainstay of illicit bathtubs everywhere. Every time I see an article like this I wonder why it hasn't already happened. We already have yeast that produce the active ingredients in cannabis, and I suspect the only reason nobody cares is because many people just grow plants anyway. How will this be handled once we can go a step further and make completely new genes that can make artificial drugs like LSD?

It does everything. There's nothing else to configure. MemSQL is a distributed SQL database so a "cluster" is multiple machines supporting a single logical interface to multiple databases.

Another cluster in another datacenter made up of multiple machines can then issue this command which will automatically contact the master cluster, setup connections in parallel between several machines, create the replica database, ask the master to create a new snapshot, stream the snapshot over, build the database, then subscribe to the change log stream including data + schema changes, all async and very fast.

Yes, this is most commonly referred to as "physical replication" but it covers about 90% of use cases where a database needs a replica somewhere else.

Postgres is great but too often the features keep getting blown out into ridiculous complexity instead of just making the basics work well and without tweaking anything, then building from with optional configuration for greater functionality.

An exchange that doesn't close shop on sudden market moves would be a good start. (Coinbase, which you mentioned specifically, was unreachable the whole time.) One that would honor all orders, in the right order, and with enough liquidity to make customers whole when they for some reason didn't, would be even better.

Then some proper options would be nice. Preferrably someone who doesn't trade against their own customers, which at least one exchange is open about. There's a lot that could be done in the Bitcoin ecosysten (well, at least we are rid of MtGox).

Also, have you considered using i3 instances for their superior price per throughput/IOP? Obviously, you can't rely on EBS snapshot based backup/restore workflows on those instances, but maybe the performance gain is compelling enough to make the exercise worthwhile?

Crypto is probably a better way to learn abstract algebra than the other way around, for whatever that's worth. You don't need more than a surface level understanding of abstract algebra to do fairly serious crypto work, but a lot of abstract algebra made more sense to me after a few years of crypto.

I do hear you, but one of the things I love about virtually all modern hardware is just how much capability it puts within the reach of totally naive and quick development strategies. If I can inelegantly solve two or three problems in the same time I can elegantly solve one, then that strikes me as a net win (at least for the people that need problems solved more than code written.)

I don't mind pushing the hardware and searching for elegance, but I'd rather be forced into it by the necessities of the problem I'm trying to solve.
We have an epidemic because people were told by pharmaceuticals and doctors that they were taking medicine, and that it was safe and unlikely to be habit forming. This wasn't true.

Absolutely. And that's one model. It has its challenges. You have to find the right differentiation. Will anyone pay the premium for the enterprise version? And where are your development efforts going? It's not straightforward but it's certainly a valid approach.

While unlikely there are other threats. You could have a disgruntled or mentally unbalanced employee. All eggs in one basket (whatever the basket and how robust it is) is always a potential problem.

The way I understand the non-determined != random argument is like this: you look to your left and will or will not find a briefcase with a million dollars. It is not determined that you will not find said briefcase, since there is a probability, no matter how small, that it has materialized there in some way. However, the presence of the briefcase is not random, because there is not an even probability of it being there or not. Randomness means equal probabilities of the outcomes.

Ask HN: What's your most profitable side project?
Don't agree with this at all. Pricing should never be up to the client and their ability to pay. And also, you will have to keep track of every customer and their individual prices which would be a mess to keep track of.

You have to remember that most industries are very incestuous with people moving between companies within that industry. So what happens if someone from a price-sensitve customer (price A) moves jobs to a price C company and tells the new company the low price that their old price-sensitve company was getting? Price C company will demand that price (as I would) and then you're in trouble.

I make things simple. I charge the same price for everyone with discounts for volume. That's it. Nice and clean.

The question is, to what extent is developed tolerance responsible for overdosing, and to what extent is it cheating dealers ? Medical literature at least seems to think that tolerance means overdose is inevitable, though yes, it can take years with careful control.

There is also the longer term side effects of the drug. The way those abused heroin addicts look, if you ignore most bruises (some are a consequence of withdrawal symptoms, wild involuntary movements, presumably not all though), is a medical condition.

You can probably find the same or similar bugs in lots of crypto libraries. I occasionally fix similar issues in ring and BoringSSL so that the BoringSSL/LibreSSL/OpenSSL/ring community can discover and fix the issues.

Arguably, the real bug is that these crypto libraries even try to represent negative numbers at all in the first place. In ring I'm close to removing all support for negative numbers.
It's been consistently shown that what people say they'll do regarding pricing and what they actually do are not correlated.

Rather than asking people, if you can, try just changing the prices and see how customer acquisition changes.

I sell a program online to consumers, so for a while I tried several experiments in pricing, including a "pay what you want". Structure. Eventually I settled on a price that's about half what the highest accepted price was ($10) and the typically "pay what you want" price ($1). Right now I sell for $4 (perpetually listed as 50% off of $8), which brings in about as much revenue as the $10 price. The advantage, though, is that it gets in the hands of more people, so there's a higher potential for word-of-mouth advertising.

So, I would say, if you're in the position to do so, experiment with the prices in the real world and look at how purchasing behavior changes.
> It's a matter of harm reduction. It would help reduce overdoses because dosages would be exact. It would help reduce organized crime, because the money would be diverted to legitimate channels and taxed.

I strongly support this as well. Focusing on harm reduction with a stable slope to coming off the addiction. Criminalizing, as the parent poster said, is giving piles of money (power) to people who really, really, really shouldn't be getting it.

I don't "do drugs", and have never done them. The closest I've come is a bit too much to drink. I have no horse in making heroin legal. But I do have the horse race of not wanting to see addicts lined up on the street; not wanting homeless camps turned into drug distribution zones... we have significant problems in Seattle from meth/heroin, and it's time to change what isn't working.
