Hi HN. I made this and I think it's cool, and my friends say so. So here it is.

It's my first time sharing any of my projects with strangers. I'm using all my courage here. Plus, HN seems to be a good place to get constructive feedback.

Any kind of feedback would be awesome: design-wise, bugs, features missing, etc. But here is what you should know before :
1) You'll need a YouTube account to log in (if you want to). You don't need to be logged to post a clip, but your clip will not be shown in the homepage and will be deleted after 6 hours. (I figured that people might just want to use it to make private jokes with friends).
1.b) I plan on adding Twitter/Facebook logins, no worries

2) It's made with NodeJS, and I'm a beginner at NodeJS. So if something goes wrong, please let me know.

3) I made a premium plan for 0.99€/month for people that want to support me and the project. (And also want to make clips that last more than 15 secondes). What do you think?

4) But I'd like to monetize this with native ads for YouTube content creators or maybe premium plan for content creators. I think it's better to charge creators than users. I don't know. What's best?

5) It's like GIFs, but with sounds. What's not to like?
I suppose you dislike this news : )
Ugh, another non-philosopher hacking at straw men with poorly defined terms. The equivalence of non-determinism and randomness is not at all necessary to dispel the idea of free will; simply ask someone to define it, and it either a) turns into vapor or b) turns to abstraction that is equally meaningless, such as to knowledge. What is knowledge but state? It has nothing to do with free will, which cannot be differentiated from any other physical phenomenon.

It's also a terribly boring problem. Regardless on you stance on what free will is, the answer does not mean you are removed from culpability; it rather means that you are not exempt from defense of your actions as a being with finite knowledge explaining your state to another being (presumably, a court) with finite knowledge.

For all the philosophers asking this question, they fail to produce any instance where the answer is meaningful. Leopold and Loeb managed to persuade a gullible jury that they can excuse human interactions with philosophy; it is of interest to pop psychology and flaws in the american justice system, NOT to philosophy.

The phenomena of consciousness are far more worthwhile concepts because they don't pigeonhole reality into a dry dichotomy.

My confusion is regarding the "entire US population" claim because I have never heard anything like this. I could have missed it and would like to know if that is the case. The closest thing I remember is the metadata issue specifically with identifiers related to Verizon account holders. My understanding is that the rules were tightened with regards to US citizen metadata as a result of this disclosure from Snowden, which is probably the best possible outcome (Short of it not happening in the first place).

Again, if I am off base and there was additional approval for any sort of surveillance on the data of the entire USA, I am very interested in learning more.

The opposite safeguards exist in some states. In at least CA and SC, computer technicians are mandatory reporters.

I don't think the analogy between lawyers and computer techs really works. I could make another analogy here--it's like taking your car to a mechanic and there's a bunch of blood in the trunk, so the mechanic calls the cops, and it turns out you murdered someone. My analogy doesn't completely work, and I think there are other grounds why the FBI's actions here might not be legal, but computer techs are not sacred.

This article should be titled how an MBA could have ruined a wonderful product. There is absolutely no way to maintain a useful horizontal product - which is what Trello is, and what makes it so great - and to simultaneously build a deep vertical product targeted at the enterprise. That is an entirely different thing (which Atlassian has already built and it's called Jira...and it's a rabbit hole of complexity out of the necessity to serve enterprise customers.)

When you issue that command in MemSQL, what does it actually do?

Physical replication in PostgreSQL is a bit more work to set up, but its behaviour is rather straightforward. As far as I understand it, all it really does is the same as a standalone database, except that instead of generating WAL segments in response to user queries that are then applied to the database, it gets them by streaming them from the master.

It's easy to see how the system behaves when nodes fail.

Similarly, a PITR is achieved by telling PostgreSQL to (optionally) retrieve WAL at startup from an archive and apply it until the desired point. The mechanism is identical to streaming replication, except non-continuous.

Referring to your comment below, postgresql.conf, pg_hba.conf and recovery.conf are data that can't really exist in the database, because it's needed before the database can even start up.

With logical replication in PostgreSQL 10, you could feasibly implement a command identical to MemSQL's, but the problem is that its behaviour is no longer quite so straightforward to understand compared to physical replication.

Dangerous advise as you may end up painting yourself into a corner.

There are lots and lots of cases where competitors have been in a niche for a long time and they now use aggressive discounting to experiment with (what's left of) customer acquisition. You price below them, you will die starving. Also, it is dramatically harder to raise prices than to lower them, so starting low and then increasing is a very painful thing to do.

Mental Models sounds fascinating, thanks for the suggestion.
That only holds if you consider the question of free will to be scientific.
That is, if the question of free will can be tested.

Moreover, is the non-existence of free will really the simpler alternative to the existence of free will?

Elixir. Why? Because it has tooling that is up to the high standards you're used to using in Ruby and Rails. It has a great ecosystem, package manager, and build tooling. The documentation is fantastic and filled with examples. It also has type annotation and type checking and being built on top of the Erlang VM its really good at soft realtime apps which is probably most of what you're doing server-side anyway.

I've used other languages mentioned by others here in projects (Go, Clojure, Haskell, Rust) and although many are nice, for instance Rust has many excellent features and a sophisticated build and package management tool to go along with it, and Go can be somewhat useful if you want a UTF8-friendly concurrent and GC'd C, I still don't think they're good fits for the majority of server-side apps.
wait, WHAT?

if the investors got 16% of the company they got $80m, a ~8x return in 3 years.

And more likely they did better. Twitter did a series C, raised $17.4m at $104m valuation, and it was a pretty hot company to give up a bit less than 17%.

A great venture fund gets a unicorn, a legendary one gets two. A 1/2 unicorn that maybe returned most if not the entire fund is a great outcome. If 50% of the investments did that well it's a top-tier fund.

People are a little demanding if only decacorns are seen as wins. It's like expecting your team to win the World Series every year.
What, why? Positive interest rates are meant to compensate FOR inflation. Because there is inflation, people can't just hold onto their money in cash; they have to put it into an interest bearing account in order to not lose money over time. Keeping your money in a bank account is NOT the same as hoarding a currency, because the money in a bank account is lent out to other people to spend. Money in a bank account is still participating in the economy.

Bitcoin investors are not like this; they are holding onto the money in hopes the value goes up. The bitcoins they are holding are not being used for any financial transactions. Those bitcoins are essentially out of the economy while they are being held. This is bad for an economy, when the currency is more valuable as an investment than as a vehicle for economic transactions.

How did angelist help?
Well this actually is interesting. Is a third party expected to respect atty client privilege if that third party is used for storage? Surely not. Also, could a law be passed that states some storage (like phones) is from the factory not protected by atty client privilege, like a usb drive? Could an atty be made aware of the contents of storage even though the storage is not in attys possession? What if atty just has cred access to the storage? That enough? Man, if any of that could be enforced, it would cause all kinds of chaos for LE.

If you look at a few years out of the last 5 decades, sure. If you look at the trend over decades, which is the timescale I'd expect to be looking at for a real-estate investment, yes, prices are rising.

Unrealistic security should be the only reason to disapprove of a bitcoin ETF governed by the SEC. Not only is it poorly suited for reckless centralization by thousands of indirect investors, but bitcoin as a whole would be setup up for massive government retaliation once the keys are compromised.

Speaking of Bell's inequality, according to Erik Verlinde's theory on emergent gravity, gravity is an emergent force from the supersymmetry relationship of fundamental particles across the entirety of space and time. Each particle was encoded with a quantum memory state before a thermal energy source disrupted the tiny space and separated the paired particles across the galaxy. If this is true, I believe the observed violation of Bell's inequality could be explained by this pre space-time deterministic relationship that causes the force of gravity to emerge.

Well, it can't compete with the USD. But plenty of nations like Venezuela have citizens that would happily take a >25% haircut to escape their governments capital controls. When Greece went bankrupt, life was much easier for anyone with Bitcoin than for anyone without it.

Grime's Graves: A Neolithic Flint Mine
In the most recent version create-app procedure looks like the following:

(define (create-app+ container init view)
(let ((state (init)))
(letrec ((spawn (lambda (proc)
(set-timeout (lambda () (proc state spawn)) 1000)))
(make-action (lambda (action)
(lambda args
(let ((new (apply (action state spawn) args)))
(set! state new)
(render)))))
(render (lambda ()
(set! container (patch container
((sxml->h* make-action) (view state)))))))
render)))

Basically it says that instead returning two values (first value being the new state and the second value being the intended side effect) it will only return the new state. But, it will take another argument with the state called spawn. The signature of actions is now state -> spawn -> dom-event -> state. Spawn will schedule the lambda passed as argument. I will change spawn to look more like apply, so that it takes the arguments of the lambda as argument. This will make testing easier.
I've just been trying out Coinbase recently and I'm pretty annoyed with them. For one, Canadians can't sell & withdraw money, and their buy/sell limits are ridiculously annoying. On top of this, their fees are very expensive and just right now, they have an outage in the middle of an important news. This is like failing at all the core important bits.

Is there a more serious thing than Coinbase that exists?
It's not as difficult to deploy if you can only target specific users, but I agree with you. The problem with cert pinning is that it's hard to do, because, if you make a mistake, nobody can access your site for quite a long time...
I'm sad that this article is on the front page of HN. It's clever in a few places, but makes basic errors. In short, it's not a competent presentation of the topic.

What he calls the "free will camp" sounds like a weird mishmash of libertarianism (determinism is false, and we have free will) and hard-determinism (determinism is true, therefore we don't have free will). It completely ignores compatibilism (https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/compatibilism/).

Moreover, the argument he gives regarding Leopold and Loeb is baffling. That a jury has no free will to listen to your argument for hard-determinism is prima-favor irrelevant. A hard-determinist holds that some people are determined to believe in free will, and moral responsibility, but they're incorrect. Any graduate student in philosophy would be expected to note these distinctions.

As for the view that free will is an illusion, he presents one of the canonical arguments uncharitably. Leaving aside the question of whether the invocation of NP actually establishes what he says it does (something non-determined but non-random), the opponent of libertarianism doesn't need the claim that determinism and randomness are our only options. They just need (something like) the premise that if our actions don't follow from our reasons/emotions/volition, they can't be considered free, and that anyone proposing some status between randomness and determinism needs to account for the sense in which decisions flowing from that status are free.
Belly-down is the easiest and most stable attitude, which is why that's the first attitude taught in skydiving.

The other common attitudes are head-down vertical, feet-first vertical, "sitting", and back-flying. The first three have a much faster fall-rate than belly-down, and are less stable. Backflying isn't quite such a difference in fall-rate, but is still harder to learn, and less stable.

How easy is it to learn? Well, unless you've skydived before, then you get around a minute to learn from scratch. Good luck to that!

he's arguing a proof of mere existence there. You don't need to propose an algorithm, or indeed have any idea how to go about it, you can just assert that it must exist and that's enough.

Thanks, I really appreciate it! All things considered things are actually going really well.

Names and definitions of leaked CIA hacking tools
This is what I've noticed as well. Most devs can't communicate for shit. Being able to just talk is often enough to get your foot in the door.

It also has the added bonus of giving you more power in the workplace. If you can communicate well, you can get more ideas on the table and implemented. The more ideas you implement, the higher your worth clearly is.

The other thing I'd note is that your raw dev skills are a product of how much effort you put in. If you do dev purely as a job (minimal pre-job training and relying solely on on-the-job training and experience to keep up) you're going to be stuck as a mediocre dev.

To be truly successful you need to be seeking and actively consuming knowledge all the time (at least in your early career). This means keeping up with your chosen dev scene and languages, and actually playing with them and learning them in your own time.

Companies value someone who knows their shit, knows it well, and can communicate how to apply that shit to their product.

I think being a dev is a unique career because unlike most, there aren't just a few advancements every year to care about, there's several every month. And those advancements aren't just something you can maybe do in the future once a paper is vetted and reviewed, they're things you can read about, toy with and probably apply to your product straight away.
> An advanced civilization will value stability, and stay on their home planet(s) where all their infrastructure is located

My thoughts were that a sufficiently advanced civilization would desire exploration, both for resources and scientific advancement. And you don't want your people spread out too far (for some definition of far), for a variety of reasons, the biggest being the consequences of the delay in communication and travel. For instance, scientists in different solar systems would find in next to impossible to collaborate: it could take years for news of one group's findings to reach the other, at which point they may very well have independently discovered the same thing, which is inefficient. Also, if one of the systems is attacked, or has some sort of crisis that requires assistance (plague, natural disaster, etc), the rest of the civilization would be unable to react in a timely manner. In short, it's safer to stick together.

Therefore, it would make a lot of sense to put your whole civilization into a fleet of ships with all your infrastructure (or maybe a single giant ship, Death Star sized), and move around. You could stay in a single solar system for a few millennia mining resources, or hop around looking for life.

Sticking to one place or a few nearby places is also an option, but I think it lacks certain advantages a fleet civilization would have.
