Yeah, I've tried it and it didn't work.

It's certainly feasible it's just not very well developed.
Dan was just referring to the comment about mental/psychological illnesses being "not real". You bring up a different point (but that is still not an excuse for this attitude).
I've heard rumblings of this from some big players who are trying to sell some of their bitcoin, but network transactions are so backlogged that it's an illiquid market for them at the volumes they are looking to trade.

They are worried that they won't be able to move in time if the market drops because they are sitting on such huge sums. Any market panic is only going to compound the transaction volume problem, leading to greater panic like people experience when there's a bank run.

It's kind of a self-fulfilling prophecy until the block size / transaction volume issue is resolved, but the community's inability to address this problem could be the death of it.
I think it is funny, Conway doesn't really enjoy being solely associated with GOL and the fame it brings[0].. In stark contrast with Wolfram's ego. Perhaps this arrangement actually works out best for both of them.

> So it seems the only way to get there is if you somehow get 100M daily viewers then you could have a compelling case to make for licensing.

Even then there is friction in the system. Look at some of the enormous distribution platforms for music like itunes and spotify. Some people still refuse to deal with them.

It is pretty hopeless. I think the difficulty is why ycombinator has been seeking disruption in the entertainment industry for so long.
it's a semantic argument. You are not storing passwords in an SSO service, but it is passing tokens to authenticate access based on the asserting/relying relationship between IdP and app. The reason I say it is semantic is that while you are not storing passwords, you are sitting on a trove of access credentials. What is different about an SSO app that is of huge value is that cutting off access is not a function of changing passwords at the app level.

I think we agree on all the major points here, but I would not diminish the significance based on the fact that OneLogin is not a password vault.
DNSSEC only gives you two things, and only when all zones on the path to the domains you're looking at are signed: authentication of the response data, and authenticated denial of existence (NXDOMAIN).

DNSSEC does NOT encrypt requests nor responses.
BLAKE2 is faster than MD5. I think that means there's no longer any reason to use MD5 in new applications, if you have any choice.

I'm pretty new to CA, so I found this really useful in giving some necessary background to the algorithm and what a "rule" is: http://natureofcode.com/book/chapter-7-cellular-automata/
BLAKE2b or BLAKE2bp should be a good choice for that. Or just CRC if you care only about unintentional changes.
"it just seems like so much to do."

All big events fall into this category but they can usually be broken into small stages that are a lot easier to visualise and accomplish.

Sometimes, just getting on with it is all that's needed; you can over think stuff.

Sure, this is all typical 'self help' mumbo-jumbo but there is something in it.
I'm pretty sure a lot of my favorite blogs on political subjects I discovered from reading hacker news, so im a bit skeptical of the premise. What I see get (mostly) rejected here is outright political activism -- but it doesn't seem like the place for that.

Ello didn't feel like a personal space for me. Its sleek design screams 'present yourself, show me what you've got'.

I would naturally assume that if it cost the IRS more than $1 to collect a marginal $1 in revenue, that the purpose of the agency would be to intimidate and terrorize taxpayers, and would therefore call for the agency to be abolished, rather than just have its budget reduced. Additionally, I question the utility of taxes that cost more to enforce than the revenues they bring in. Those are things that the public should not acquiesce to, anyway.

My tinfoil-hat self adamantly asserts that the purpose of the income tax is not to collect revenue, but to control the side-effects to the inflationary monetary policy that is the real source of revenue for the federal government. That self somehow sees a significant difference between spending money after it was collected via taxation and spending debt that is later discharged via taxation. Whenever that self starts ranting about the great Keynesian confidence game, my other selves generally cram it back into the penalty box for a while.

A stock share is partial ownership of a for-profit venture for gain. Bitcoin is more akin to a precious metal or commodity, except that btc doesn't have any utility value like gold, silver or copper do.

Stocks pay dividends and entitle the owner to certain rights. Btc gives you some crypto that others trust.

Not very similar.

I think the point is probably valid. I just spent some time watching slow-mo videos of Butterflies in flight on YouTube. The closes the got to the dividing line between wings approaching 90 degrees to the body, the wings were in a curved configuration. The rest of the time the line seems to be significantly slanted backwards, which does look like it's a much more natural pose in reality.

Numbers. It's all about how you feel about that risk of crashing vs the potential payout.

Say I'm squirreling away $5k a year for a new car in 4 years. Every year I put in another $5k, so by the end, I've put in $25k.

If I put that in a typical savings account, I earn 0.1% and come out $50 ahead. Effectively 0, or losing value once you throw in inflation.

Go with stocks, at a 5% return, I end up with over $27k, and at 8% I have over $29k. It's also true that I could lose value, and that's the gamble.

So it's a matter of your comfort level, obviously, and if you can't afford to lose the money, don't invest. But in many many cases, the reward outweighs the risk.

I view it that I'm much, much more likely to get a return > 0.1% than experience a loss over 5 years, and I'm willing to accept the risk.
Even the Snowden leaks seemed not so important to me. Unless there is good oversight of who views what as long as there is due process, I don't see any reason to view those things as politically charged.

Honestly I prefer having a nihilist point of view about politics in general, having a minimum amount of trust towards separation of power, always weighing the pro and cons, trying to guess what public opinion wants. It's much more freeing to see voters as children expecting things.

Geopolitics are much more interesting honestly.
Wait so it only works on those 4 websites? I've only heard of Popular Mechanics, but I rarely (if ever) visit their site.

Yes it is. Many of the complaints about the Paris Agreement were explicitly included in the treaty that congress ratified. For example, article 4(7):

"The extent to which developing country Parties will effectively implement their commitments under the Convention will depend on the effective implementation by developed country Parties of their commitments under the Convention related to financial resources and transfer of technology and will take fully into account that economic and social development and poverty eradication are the first and overriding priorities of the developing country Parties."

Congress has already agreed that developed countries will initially take more of the burden, and might participate in something like the Green Climate Fund.
Well they do make nice PRNGs.

From the article:

>"Indeed, over the past year, Mr. Sietsema, the senior critic at Eater NY, has watched with mild schadenfreude but greater alarm as his neighborhood has undergone yet another transformation from a famed retail corridor whose commercial rents and exclusivity rivaled Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills, Calif"

I'm not fan of what happened to Bleecker Street but I find it amusing that an employee of Eater which promotes conspicuous consumption in the food arena(celebrity chefs, "where to eat now", etc) has "schadenfreude" for conspicuous consumption in the high-end retail fashion world. There's a slight bit of hypocrisy in that. Trendy restaurants and trendy fashion boutiques seem to come to neighborhoods in lockstep. Bridge and tunnel crowds usually come into the neighborhood to both shop and eat. The metamorphosis of Bleecker Street seemed to begin with Magnolia Bakery and cupcakes in the early 2000s as mentioned in the article. And Eater has certainly done its part over the years in promoting the cult of Magnolia Bakery including pieces by Mr. Sietsema himself.[1]

For some reason foodie culture seems to view its version of rampant consumerism as being a more noble pursuit.

I guess it is because GoL is 2D, so you cannot visualize the dynamics in 2D, you could just show a single generation. Instead they went for an interesting looking simple 1D cellular automaton.
The recommendation with Bitcoin is to wait for six confirmations before considering a transaction secure. That's about an hour, best case. It might be overly secure for most applications, but that's generally what people use.

Other PoW-based systems have similar recommendations. You can have more frequent blocks, but the economic security offered by each confirmation will be lower.

There are other nifty networks called payment networks which promises instantly secure transactions, the most well known being Lightning. They offer that by identifying cheating and offering both parties to get their money out in case the other party does. They are still pretty experimental but the results are promising.
I think this title would be so much better without the ironic voice (or whatever the english term should be for saying one thing but meaning another).

> "In six months, WASM will have had more program launches than the totality of .Net and the JVM."

I don't think so. The only languages that can currently target WASM are languages that don't need GC. It'll take a while before the tooling and functionality is mature enough to support the most commonly used languages (aside from C/C++).
The other big thing is lots of saas companies don't implement multiple users per company initially, so you end up with a google doc with all the shared passwords of things like analytics/ads providers. This way you get a unique login, acls, etc by hiding the shared password inside onelogin

I've used these, but refused to put more important things like aws in there.
wow used to use this one before having the app back in the day, good to know it still exists and a perfect alternative for m.facebook.com with messenger support.
Excel in business / finance is a great mish-mash of ETL, modelling (from simple statistics to pretty advanced optimization), graphics and dashboarding. With too little structure and documentation to be good for you. A big plus is that every step is (at least without VBA) user transparent. From Excel to application would mean specs by non-sexually writers and continuous exceptions on specs when thereto unknown use cases of pretty much the same spreadsheet are found. (Since you don't exist unless you run your own spreadsheet, users often branche from the sheets of others.)
Joking aside, acquisitions happen only because of the user bases. No one really cares about the thousands of man hours your shiny social network took to implement... in that sense, it's actually hard to judge what's overvalued.
It might not catch the kinds of things that seem strong but end up on word lists. `correctbatteryhorsestaple`, and even more so `correctbatteryhorsestaple1` or `correctbatteryhorsestaple!` would probably pass a "strength" test with flying colors, but you bet it would get cracked in a moment by any script kiddie with a word list.

People aren't rational actors for a reason: Sometimes things are easy to argue for but aren't that great in practice. And so by following your heart instead of your head, you sometimes make seemingly illogical but objectively better decisions. And I think that there is a case to be made about how C++ is efficient in theory, while C is effective in practice.

Not a helpful comment. Some people have more leverage than others.
It's not a password store, SSO services like OneLogin are federated services that authenticate users with encrypted tokens. In a SAML transaction, or with OAuth, a username/password combination is never exchanged. How is this better, aside from user experience? For starters, the ability to disrupt access benefits from a single point rather than having to change passwords in every app. It also benefits from relying on a credential from a directory service that can then be used to provision access within the target application, which means you can have more granular role-based or dynamic access based on metadata like time of day or geolocation.
they call it "Mallhattan"! :)
Do you have any sources for any of this? Hoefnells Gazette maybe? :P

I would not overstate Trump's impact - you will only give him an even bigger head. In reality he is insignificant to policy as he will be gone soon enough. I would say Putin and Snowden were more of an impact.

In reality by 2024 the Bundeswehr will no longer be committing troops to NATO missions outside Germany (see above). If it makes you feel better to pretend that they are 'still part of NATO' then fine.

I seriously doubt ads could support production of that content either.
Just commenting on timing here, not the pros/cons of SQRL, which is a whole other discussion:

It's been "almost done" for a long time now. At Gibson's 2014 digicert presentation, he said he would be able to demo it in about a week. Nope, that initial demo didn't happen for another 6 months, IIRC. Shortly after that demo--we're talking June 2015--the Windows client was (checking transcript) "almost finished." Today is exactly TWO YEARS TO-THE-DAY later, and I don't think the client is yet complete.

I'm all for doing something right, and that's his stated reason for why it's taking so long, but it also means that based on past history, you should take his time estimates with a HUGE grain of salt. He's slow--it has been nearly 200 weeks of time where he claims he has been working on this more-or-less "non-stop" and that it has been his "focus."
True, but unfortunately, those are the stories we're talking about - because those are the ones media write.

If you can and post a story called "Detailed analysis of Trump's new energy policy", that features credible facts and figures instead of opinions, simplifications and insults, it will have pretty good chances of sticking on the front page here.
We are already doing this on our sites. We run a whitelist of ads, and when we encounter Adblock we just serve an image tag and HREF with no JS. Works well for us and the user.
If the net effect of political discourse on HN is negative, it's a pretty good sign that the community needs to grow the fuck up. If we're unable to examine our role in the world -- what is happening and how our work fits in -- anyone advertising a startup as "world-changing" is dangerous, naive, or dangerously naive.

That said, dang almost ran me out of here for daring to call out conspiracy theorists out on their BS, so perhaps things are broken by design.
>What can explain a psychological disorder other than underlying physical disease?

It's well established that the causality works both ways, i.e. physical illnesses can cause psychological symptoms, and psychological factors can cause physical symptoms, e.g.:

- fever-causing illnesses cause "sickness behaviour" consisting of depression, anxiety, fatigue, brain fog and other symptoms, causing by pro-inflammatory cytokines.

- exam stress has been shown to significantly increase EBV antibodies.

- psychological stress causes significant changes to the immune system through the effects of cortisol and adrenaline (the two main stress hormones are also two of the main immune modulators).

- psychological stress causes a release of TNF-a (a pro-inflammatory cytokine that is involved in sickness behaviour).

- fear causes bowel movements, due to the fact that the HPA axis (the main stress system) also influences bowel motility.

>Attributing a disease to psychological disorder is indistinguishable from saying "we don't understand what causes this."

Not really. If there are factors that point to psychological causation, it should be considered as much as other possible causes.

I really don't agree. Rijndael and DES are different algorithm. SHA-512/256 is a made-up algorithm that you need to be aware of. Again I'm talking about "misuse" here. SHA-2 is vulnerable to misuse even if SHA-512/256 is not.
The idea of indexing doesn't require a specific index. It is more general than that. The idea that average returns are pretty good, and average returns with low cost-of-management are even better.

In order to get average returns, the key is simply to own a tiny fraction of the entire market, whatever "market" means to you. The focus has long been on the S&P simply because it has historically done a pretty good job of representing the US equities market, it is market-cap weighted (unlike the Dow), and the earliest index funds tracked the S&P.

It's my expectation, stated without proof, that it should be easy to find a comparable index in Europe, if you want to match the average European return.
If they had done that, that would have just played into his narrative about the media being against him, along with vindicating a lot of accusations against twitter for "shadowbans".
