It depends upon the context. I'm inclinded to say yes because I see my 22 year old coworkers buy eth on margin. Usually when new investors are buying on margin its a sign that there's a bubble forming or it may even be hitting its bubble peak soon. But I could be wrong I haven't watched the news on it so I'm not aware of the context of the rise in value.
Haskell lists should be thought of like (pure immutable) iterators. They have the same cache-misses and possibly-infinite properties.

One could argue that the mistake Haskell made was to call them "lists" instead of "streams", and to make it so easy to make list literals.
> For the younger among us, SCO (with Microsoft funding) did try suing all sorts of people over what they considered their ownership of Unix. They got their badly flayed ass handed to them in every case, because IBM spent multi-millions on a legal dream team that totally discredited their arguments (thanks IBM!).

Right, but they also managed to successfully push back against much wider scale adoption of Linux. Not that it worked out to their advantage in the longer run but at the time they could not have known that, they were clearly trying to bury Linux.
You are dead wrong. Yes, people are sued for B.S. reasons all the time. The correct long term response is not to seek refuge under the wing of another, more subtle bully. It is to remove the ability for people to sue for B.S. reasons.

Not easy for an individual to accomplish, granted.
Not sure how you come to that conclusion when the middle class is almost gone in this country.

Game theory is always applicable to games :-)

Nash equilibrium is just one aspect of some games.
Ah, GROKLAW. I used to camp on that website, waiting for IBM's white knights to slay the evil Darl McBride, and PJ to put on her red dress.

PJ was Pamela Jones the blogger, who gave an incredibly informed commentary of the cases. I wonder where she is now - I'd love to send her a bottle of Otago Pinot Noir.
It seems that way. It isn't new money entering the market, as chart data across Poloniex, BFX and BTC-E shows the biggest inflow is BTC/ETH. It's just the same old speculators getting in on the rush of a cheap alt-coin with better technological potential thats riding on some good news about its partnerships. It's a bubble, but who knows where the top is.
When patients are treated as consumers we'll see the wave of economic incentives. Value based care as part of the ACA is headed in the right direction.

Yep. And then the birth rate will fall off a cliff. Your sex robot will always be enthusiastic, and fulfill about 85% of what you want out of sex. Maybe not the human connection, but at least on par with a one night stand. Will we even develop romantic relationships then? It's going to get soooo weird!
I kind of get what you're saying, but the phenomenon is new: this isn't the only source I've seen that discusses that there is a growing amount of un- or under-employment among young men that seems to be accepted comparatively happily, with the hypothesis that compelling computer games are part of the difference.

I'm pretty sure that the analogy with movies is weak, although probably the 80s equivalent was sitting around watching TV all day (the moral panic I remember from that period).

"Why is it bad to take some time off and decompress if you have a horrible job you hate? What's the alternative? Work yourself to the bone, fall in love with someone you hate, have some kids that hate you, get a divorce, and die alone? What is Mr. Avent's point here? Because I don't see one."

I think that if you're that annoyed about the idea of this article using strawmen to beat up on the idea of gaming, you should have a little more awareness of the phenomenon in your own writing/thinking... Yep, I'm pretty sure that it's either decompress or "work yourself to the bone and fall in love with someone you hate".
Ask HN: How to master english language from intermediate level
Dear HN Readers,
English is my second language, but I’m using it for more than two decades. I want to take it to next level where my language is good enough to write scientific journals or a thoroughly professional business documents. I know it would not be easy, but I’m drowned in various online resources. I would really love to know your advices/suggestions/comments which may help me in this regard.
Ha. I'm sure you're SOL if that's the case.

The same would happen with any widebody, the displacement is enormous and it's one very good reason to nail down everything close to the ground in the path of these planes very well.
This response is so stereotypical and contrary to the facts of the conditions of young people today, I have to thank you for demonstrating both my and the parent's points. Thanks for that!

Basecamp is the least terrible I've used, because it has simple task/todo lists with conversations (comments) on each item, due dates, assignments etc.

>There is an area of low pressure over the wing where air is taking a longer path than under the wing, but that is only responsible for a small fraction of the lift.

The "equal transit time" theory that you appear to be referencing here (air over the top takes a longer path, thus it must go faster and air under the bottom takes a shorter path thus it goes slower) is a complete fallacy. There is no mechanism in physics that requires the air to "meet up" at the trailing edge of the wing.
The small message results from only storing message, channel, and server ids as opposed to the entire message. How efficient is ES at storing the rest of the message data in the inverted index? No clue, but apparently pretty good.
>But this is the fundamental point of the article. It's very difficult to do marketing, communities, competitive analysis market research payroll and accounting when you have no money and no product. So what can non-technical co-founder bring to bootstrapping a SaaS platform with just ideas? May not be possible.

You hustle? You sit there and think what is the literal next step, then you try that thing, reevaluate, and repeat. Then keep doing it until you're rich, broke, or dead. There is always something you can be doing.
> ...exception to this is Kaiser Permanente

They are notorious in the medical community for valuing efficiency above all else. Kaiser also doesn't serve extremely difficult cases, uninsured patients or patients on Medicaid. Academic hospitals do.

Kaiser can do a lot of things differently by virtue of being subsidized by the generosity of the state and the state's highly talented doctors. I don't know how much there is to learn from them.

> they make money every time you get sick

Nobody at an academic hospital makes money every time you get sick. Discharging patients is a high priority. Doctors are constantly trying to figure out how to do preventative care with the sorts of "frequent flyer" patients that tie up emergency rooms and hospital beds.

To be more blunt, you're not really describing reality. You're describing a particularly cynical point of view, common among people who are unlucky enough to be (or to know someone) rich, sick and not getting better. It's doctor as antagonist, and it tends to emerge in some kind of economic rationalization.

Here's reality: Mark Zuckerberg put his name on an academic hospital in San Francisco that has utterly dysfunctional EHR. Everyone in the system—especially the doctors, contrary to what you say—hates it and wishes the money would have been spent to improve it.

Even the tech fantasy of magic money wand can't solve this problem. It isn't the fault of doctors ("you know who hates EHRs the most? Doctors"). No clever turn of the phrase or insight is going to provide the answer. Blah-blah-blahing about incentives isn't going to provide any solutions. It's a complex system.

The original poster was saying as much. But then all the other commenters go on and start talking about economics, incentives, anecdotes, and assorted conspiracy theories. The guy is studying this! I think he's coming to the right answers.
For me it is i3wm - an amazing window manager. After using it for a few days you will never want to go back to using standard mac/linux wm, it is incredibly fast and convenient.

Another one is, of course, Emacs. By far the most useful and brilliant tool in my toolbox.

Depends what you're trying to achieve. If it's a bot that beats most humans, that probably already can be done. If it's a bot that earns more from a cash ring game than the world's best would against all levels of players...

It took many years for a computer to bridge the gap between better at chess than almost all humans and better than the best human.

Or a paid search engine incentivized to provide quality results rather than maximize ad network profits
Not quite. Actually, it is not coincidence, 4chan is primarily a video game/anime forum while being the one of the online centers of alt-righters.

Unemployment stays as the center of all issues here. Or bad employment if we look from a higher perspective. With low income and bad job, video game, as a way of pleasure, it is cheap per hour, very little requirement for room, easy obtain of the feeling of achievement, make it the best option of entertainment for frustrated young males out there.

Bad job market creates video game addicts. It is quite logical this demographic will find alt-right philosophy appeal to them. What I disagree with the author, is that a lot of young men don't have the luxury to live a more 'normal' life, which is getting more and more expensive every year, as the society demands.
Her "one year ago" piece on tipping culture has literally the same 2 ending paragraphs. I am not going to give her praises for journalism, but I do agree that her anecdotes are true, and have experienced similar things. At least she didn't have to worry about getting canceled on when the driver noticed you're not white.
And it's the number one way you're going to get injured.

Keep your seatbelt buckled, even when the sign is off.
The reason why so many EHRs are poorly designed is in part because they are so flexible. Don't under estimate the ego of a physician to think their way is superior to the way the doctor down the road does something.

The EHR model will eventually lose because its one sided. Consumers and patients are completely left out of the picture and EHRs have no incentives right now to change. Beyond that companies like Epic are operating on outdated business models. The days of the black box of data that lives inside the four walls of the health system are numbered.

Consumers won't deal with a dumpster fire of technology once they have the choice. Digital health will win once the barriers of compliance and interoperability are broken down.
> Unemployment in the US is relatively low even on a long term basis.

Dear God save me from whatever unemployment you deem to be high. Over a third of the people in this country don't work and another third work part time.

Maybe you actually believe those numbers coming out of the gov on unemployment and don't pay attention to the people who have rolled off the unemployment benefits. I know people that have been looking for work for the better part of 5 years without luck.

Also, have to call bullshit on the "You have it easier than any generation in history" remark. This generation is the first generation since the inception of this country to not have it better than the previous one. Every person born today is born with upwards of 70k debt thanks to the drunken sailors in Congress. The bill will come due. It always does.
Agreed. Rusty, if you're out there, kick up the police scanner!
I think you're underestimating just how immersive those older games could be. Immersiveness is not a product of graphical fidelity, look at books and text adventure games, I would consider them just as immersive as any games today. We were saying "just one more turn" just as much with civ1 as with civ6.
While I agree with the general sentiment, to be honest there are easier solutions here. They could've just turned on the sign as soon as they saw the A380 so that people could fasten their seatbelts then. And then turned off the sign when the threat was gone. You don't need a cannon to kill a fly.
From Wikipedia: The U.S. Census Bureau reported in September 2016 that real median household income was $55,775 in 2015.

If you scroll down to education and look at the chart for education, you will see that the median household income for someone with a bachelor's degree is $68,728. With a professional degree (like a P.Eng) it's up to $100K.

Can you afford to save for your kid's education, retirement savings, etc on the median household income in the US? That depends a lot on your lifestyle. It certainly is possible.

I'm not going to tell you what's good for you. I'm just saying that there are people (myself included) who can live comfortably on less and who value things other than money when accepting a job. I was simply answering the question that was asked: How is it possible to hire quality people while paying below market rate? By making it worth the reduction in pay. Whether or not Gitlab succeeds in doing this, I have no idea.
It would seem obvious that if one party with a large pile of patents can look at an independent entity and their work and find something they own the rights to that their ideas are probably obvious and ought not to be protected.
I promise if you plan it out it's completely possible to retire with dignity and people are doing it all the time

Unless, of course your planning counts on government sponsored health insurance or even Social Security since in today's political climate, there's no guarantee that either will be around for your retirement.
Lets be clear here. What-ever the persons opinion of you should have absolutely no bearing on your professional work, and your relationship between then. I have rude clients, I have smart ass clients. Something is very clear I make it to them when I do the job, I'm doing it for money. If they think $1000 per hour is too much then they're not a client I really want to be working with.

I have found you need to make it very clear to clients why you're there, and what the ROI will be for them. After you've done the work, you move onto the next client.

They may be a wealthy business man, they may be a boomer. They may be a startup. You're there to get a job done.
This is excellent advice. I do agree with majority that games is rigged agains majority, but your advice is spot on.
Instead of searching for a list of battle-hardened entrepreneurs, which you won't find as you discovered because they're busy in battle, take a proactive approach.

Outline the persona of the type of mentors you'd like to chat with. For instance, if you're building a social app, a battle-hardened health entrepreneur might not be the most helpful person. A battle-hardened social entrepreneur would be much better.

Once you have your persona go out and find them. Where?
Lots of places. But LinkedIn and Angel List would be the 2 places I'd start looking. Reach out and maybe offer a coffee to have a chat about their companies.
Don't approach them just begging for help.

To be honest though, a lot of great startup advice and potential pitfalls are all over youtube, hn and other websites as well. Nowadays, you can simply just read post-mortems of companies similar to yours to get a good feel for potential headwinds.
> I feel like the Boomers were pretty happy with the Greatest.

Yeah, there wasn't like a big youth counterculture in the 1960s-1970s rebelling against the previous generation that was then dominant in society and government over major international policy (Hello, Southeast Asia), domestic policy, notions of public and private morality, and, basically, every other aspect of life.

You might have a better case with Gen X not particularly blaming the Boomers (and focussing more on the trailing end of the influence of the "Greatest" Generation), and even better with Millenials not even paying attention to Gen X enough to blame them for anything (Boomers, sure, but Gen X? Not so much.)
I thought the same thing, until I saw it was on nautil.us
> The usage of PHP, on the other hand, is very disappointing and, in 2017, inexcusable. (Yes, I know that it started in 2016. It was inexcusable in 2016 too.)

No, it's really not.

https://dev.acquia.com/podcast/69-php-secure-it-if-you-do-it...

Until someone produces concrete evidence that proves the statement "It is impossible to write secure PHP code", I tend to issue a challenge to these sentiments and then discard them.

Furthermore, if it is currently impossible to write secure PHP code, then that's a problem that needs to be fixed. Over 82% of the Internet runs PHP. Fixing the language would be an enormous win.

Alternatively, if it's not impossible to write PHP code, then it's not "inexcusable" to write software in PHP.

> First, "simply secure" to me means adopting a capability-security model. CMS Airship unfortunately appears to not be capability-based. On the other hand, there's little existing art for designing capability-safe CMSs, and certainly users aren't ready for capability-safe systems, so perhaps it's for the best.

> ACLs are the great antipattern of our time. I hope that capabilities will eventually end the crime of ACLs. It's fine if you disagree with this point, but please read http://srl.cs.jhu.edu/pubs/SRL2003-02.pdf and then consider whether you still disagree.

Capabilities seem more appropriate in a distributed system (Tahoe-LAFS comes to mind). ACLs are great for a centralized system (one website, many visitors).

Otherwise, you've just turned an O(n) maintenance burden into an O(n^2) maintenance burden by having an explicit and pedantic whitelist of permissions copied and pasted across every user in the system. This doesn't seem to offer any value if most (99.99%) of your users will have the same set of permissions.

I'd like to think, given the sort of software Airship is, ACLs are more appropriate. Furthermore, it's much simpler to maintain.

I'd also like to think that, given the flexibility of our ACL system (role-based or user-based, whitelist, overlapping contexts, per-site action matrix) that we reach a good balance of security and usability.

Maybe I'm failing to see it, but what is the tangible security gain of capabilities over ACLs to an open source content management system written in a scripting language behind a single webserver?

Or more to the point: What is the threat model in which capabilities are more appropriate than ACLs for such a software project?

Or is the answer something to the tune of, "It's more explicit and easier to formally verify in an academic context?" It's okay if it is, I just want to know.

> Summary: Well-engineered compared to its competitors, but falls far short of my ridiculously high expectations.

Heh, I'll take that as a compliment.
I'd argue those metrics are important to all of us because they are they suggest that all is not well in our society. It's hard to imagine how declining male participation rates are anything but a bad thing for society. These metrics indicate our society is in for some rough times ahead. When you get millions of people opting out of the economy (to paint it broadly) that is a very bad thing, and that is what these metrics indicate is already happening. Worse, this is just the beginning.
I failed to understand the awesomeness of Ethereum to be honest.

I also think, most people who tried to explain it didn't do good job either.

The most frequent explanation you would hear is that Ethereum is a Turing complete world computer that can do anything.

But in my opinion, the above sentence is misleading marketing.

You would also hear statement like "Ethereum is a blockchain that runs code". Well a blockchain is a datastructure, like a linked list. A datastructure only stores data, a datastructure doesn't run code.

If you look closer (correct me if I'm wrong), each program has to be executed by every single machine in the network to get cross verified. So the computation power of Ethereum is not the combination of all computers in the network, like you would imagine of a "world computer".

Also, the program has to be deterministic. This means it can't have random number, can't read data from outside APIs. I don't think being Turing complete is that useful.
Ask HN: Is Signal down for you?
A few people I know report being unable to use Signal to chat, and I can't send messages either. No notice on their Twitter page yet, so I am wondering how widespread the issue is.
Upon closer inspection it appears that you are correct. I interpreted "raised" as "extorted." That still may be the case (the cited source is a dead link) but I think you are right... particularly since some of the names listed are venture firms.

Whatever the case, IV is quite an enigma... founded by the creator of MS Research (which is a great group), funded by Reasonable People, but apparently sketchy as hell. I'm intrigued and will definitely be digging deeper into their story. Thanks for bringing them to my attention.
There is a big non-drinking movement amongst young people in Russia right now. Putin, love or hate him, has passed on an attitude to his young followers. I'm reminded of an interview with a British soccer hooligan about confrontations with Russian hooligans: "It's not fair when the other team is sober!"
Agreed. Plus, many of those EverCrack addicts just moved on to newer and even more addictive games.
