Would another variant of Keccak, not the one that became SHA-3, provide more competitive results? Or does Keccak in general not have compelling properties compared to the alternatives?
depends on what you want to build. In my experience it's great for simple prototypes. I see more and more people using it for bigger projects. Also you can always gradually move back to native if needed.

Except that it isn't--it's a bubble and at some point that bubble is going to pop. We already went through all this in 2008 and people have already forgotten the lesson! It's amazing how fungible the human mind is. "This time it will be different." That's what every communist who ever lived thought, too. This time, the stupid scheme of wealth transfer will work perfectly if we just can pass a few more laws and control a little bit more of people's behavior, we can build our everlasting, perfect utopia.

Real estate crashes when the last marginal buyer is priced out of the market. California real estate has crashed 2-3 times just in my lifetime. It will crash again and whoever bought at the top will be bagholders. It is the immutable law of bubbles.

I saw the title, "Simple, free, YML editor" and tried to use it for one of my ansible yml files. It doesn't even accept it. It wants two files to be uploaded which doesn't even make sense. So, it's not a YML editor and the title is wrong. Perhaps it should be changed to "Rails translation file editor, which happens to use the YML format"

Because you're ignoring problem 3. Not enough work.

Modern economies run into issues with lots of investment in bubbles that don't increase productivity. Housing booms that rapidly increase the cost of housing don't increase productivity. Investing in ever riskier twisted financial exploitations does not increase productivity. Having huge amounts of taxable income filtered out of the country robs a country from future infrastructure investment, which does not increase productivity.
If that's your impression, then my impression is you've never really been poor and without social support.

As a rule, I think it's best to be aware that it can almost always be possible to be worse some for people than you think it can.

Well, P could take steps to help U learn to help W. e.g. giving them a bit of water, and training them to help W; instead of blaming U for the poor coconut yield. Which in turn would help W yield more coconuts, or be flexible to diversify how they get water to be robust against the coconut market. I get how you example illustrates how the amount of P's aren't dependant on the number of U's, but I think this example is too microscopic.

I think there's another factor to consider. W doesn't give water directly to P, there's G who takes a little bit of water from everyone. G has enough water for themselves, and instead of drinking just the water they need, or helping U to make their island economy better, they decide to bathe in the water. Then when P wants some water like G has promised and there's none left, they blame U. Which makes W and P angry at U.

The situation is more like G is taking a little bit of water from everyone, and there's yet another person on the island E. E is in charge of delegating coconut fetching tasks to W and up until recently P. G decided E should also be in charge of distributing water that comes from G to W and P.

E realizes that once P leaves, there will only be one coconut fetcher. So, worried that they won't be getting enough water to give to G, E gives less water to W instead of hiring and training U to help this coconut fetching business. This isn't good because eventually W will become a P, and E will have no one, and G will not be getting water from E. Everyone becomes a U because G decided to give water to E to delegate instead of directly to W, P, and U.
Which is evidence of nothing.
If your claim is that SHA-3 contains an NSA backdoor, that's an extraordinary claim requiring extraordinary evidence.[1] In the case you link to, the NSA was publicly the author and the backdoor was "obvious" nearly from the start.

[1] Or else a conspiracy theory. Not that conspiracy theories are never true; I'd be surprised but not shocked if this one were.
Yeah, but the number of jobs is independent of either of these numbers.

You could have no jobs and lots of pensioners. Then everyone wants to work but can't and those who once were working have retired.
Even as a relatively network-savy developer, the 8 to 10 bit translation done over the wire was news to me. I love these kinds of implementation details.
In 2016, Germany was a net exporter of electrical energy:

However you're right that Germany was a net importer from (among others) France:
https://de.statista.com/statistik/daten/studie/180862/umfrag...

Which is surprising as I remember reading that France has tremendous difficulties satisfying their electricity demand, especially in winter (lots of electric heating apparently).
>"Being stuck in problem solving" IMHO is a veritable source of professional happiness

I agree, but it's because the reward is so great. I would imagine it's a different feeling if I was fixing someone else's (say offshore team) bugs all day.
The optionality in startup investing has mainly to do with the "limited liability" in Limited Liability Corporation (other types of corporations and partnerships also have limited liability). That is, if you invest a dollar in a corporation, your losses are capped at a dollar. But, your gains are potentially infinite. Another instrument that has that characteristic--limited downside and infinite upside--is an option. The startup equity isn't actually an option, but it is useful to discuss its "optionality" because it does have some similar characteristics.
AMP does do an excellent job of showing just how slow many normal pages are. But even an old-fashioned web-page will load very quickly if designed to a similar visual style as AMP! I'd imagine that with HTTP/2 this should be even faster.

Other things about AMP are pretty annoying to me -- the URL getting hijacked, the way on mobile safari the URL bar never shrinks when scrolling (how do they even break that?), and the ribbon with the fake URL bar that keeps popping in and out of view as you scroll.

You think Google basically replacing the entire web for news sites because their sites are so shitty might encourage them to focus more on basic usability and speed, but so far, no...
Ask HN: Can a cryptocurrency be made to have stable value?
I ask this as someone who doesn't follow the whole cryptocurrency thing very closely. But I get the sense that whatever ideological concerns drove their creation, the actual function of these things is not so much as money in the sense we use daily, but more as investment vehicles, like stocks or commodities. Tradable, but still held for their appreciation rather than having for normal everyday transactions.

So I wonder if it would be possible to make a cryptocurrency that would have a stable value relative to other real-world currencies. Let's say you made a coin, called it, say, quatloos, and decided that the value of the quatloo should be within 10 percent of the dollar. So it would have roughly the same purchasing power as a dollar, but still exist outside of the Federal Reserve system.

An article passed through here a few days back about the paper currency of Somalia, which has no central issuing authority. Money is added into the system as needed whenever it is profitable to do so--the regulating mechanism is the cost of manufacture, and the exchange rate against the dollar. In a system like Bitcoin, the cost of manufacture is ever increasing. For quatloos, it would have to be variably dependent on the exchange rate. (It wouldn't have to be dollars; it could be a basket of currencies or some other measure that resulted in reasonably stable purchasing power value.)

While there is, of course, a place in the economy for speculative investments, money as such functions better when the value doesn't change rapidly (consider the problems of severe deflation/inflation).

> can we prevent people from teleporting anything into anywhere?

Well, there's a game called FTL (very good Roguelike with real-time ship-to-ship combat) [0] that has teleporting bombs as a distinct class of weapons... So of course, it's not hard to imagine that matter teleporters could and eventually will be used to great offensive and invasive effects, depending what the laws of physics allow.

None of what you say negates the fact that it is a Ponzi. Plenty of Madoff's customers did the same things--they were "lucky" in the sense that they weren't at the last layer of the Ponzi. Someone will be. There was research done about Ponzi schemes and I don't remember all the details except that none get past 11 levels because it would require more people to invest than exist on the planet.
I took that as obvious. I'm not sure if others were just joking or didn't get that.
How virtual / infinite scrolling works
Then you can enlighten us because as far as we can tell what we think you are saying is the author's discussion of conservation of mass has nothing to do with the Law of Conservation of Mass (as opposed to some mystic qualities of matter believed prior to the discovery of this law of nature--in classical physics). Don't just point to the epaulettes and tell him to be respectful--it's ok to question authority (granted it was done a little bit presumptiously, you are right there, but I'd recommend letting it go--be the bigger person and be the teacher).
What makes the difference, I guess, is the fact that you can actually measure "agreement" in a direct way, with numbers of "agreement units" such as likes.

I've been participating in Google Contributor since it's inception, this is like the 3rd relaunch of the service. I have no doubt it will fail just like the past iterations because the fundamental flaw is that Google is the heart of the system and they're unwilling to extricate themselves from it. I don't think this type of service is the way forward and the solution will not come from Google or any other ad provider for a number of reasons. The first is that Google is not the only ad network and no one wants to be cut out. The second is that this does nothing to address the privacy or security issues people have today that drive them to ad blockers.

There aren't just a handful of Ad networks, there are thousands if not millions out there. On top of that, they utilize each other to push out ads in a horrid rat king like incestuous jumble. Any payments to avoid ads served by these companies would require compensating all of these companies, the end result predictably would be movie studio accounting that leaves the content provider with nothing in the end.

This setup does nothing to address the privacy issues people have with companies like Google tracking their comings and goings. Google is still at the heart of this system and still knows everything about you. To get any benefit from this system actually requires you to embrace Google. People want to maintain their privacy, they don't want to login to Google to get rid of ads.

It's easy to envision a system utilizing a crypto currency and a digital wallet held by your browser that you fill occasionally and that prompts you to pay a site similar to the manner in which Location Services work simply based on a meta tag a site provider puts in their page head containing their wallet and request pay amount and schedule. It's impossible to imagine Google, Apple, Facebook, or anyone who wants in your pants to allow themselves to be cut out of a revenue stream by such a system. Companies like this are double dipping by charging everyone else to be the broker and also by being the service provider being paid.

I honestly don't know if an ad free web is allowable. It's technically possible but everyone who isn't the content creator is going to do everything they can to stop it form happening.
I really wish there was something like that though:(
SEEKING WORK - Based in Nashville, remote preferred, but open to travel for larger projects, major meetings, etc.

I'm an independent iOS developer and product manager with personal experience as a startup founder. I have deep experience with Objective-C and Swift, as well as backend experience with LAMP (esp Laravel, CakePHP, and WP), RoR, Parse, and Firebase.

Though I've done lots of things, I really focus on MVP mobile apps for startups. I help startups go from a great idea to having a polished app in the hands of their users.

To be blunt, if you know exactly what you want and "just" need it coded up, you can find someone cheaper.

BUT if you have a broad concept and you need someone who understands the entire product development / startup funding / business growth lifecycle and how to get things done within those constraints, I'm an excellent fit.

I've built and launched dozens of complex native iPad and iPhone apps and worked with startups and Fortune 500 companies to build and grow apps to many millions of collective users.

I'd love the opportunity to work with you if things are a good fit!

Just to avoid wasting anyone's time, I try to focus on just a few clients per year, so generally, pricing options start at $20k. Feel free to reach out anyway though, I love HN and hearing from members of the community :)

So, as I understand it, the argument is that unemployed people is unemployed not because the economy is so productive (we have coconuts and water for everybody with very little job) but because they are not enough qualified.

In other words, there are not enough qualified workers as demanded, and that is the reason we see real wages going up and up all the time.

A lot of solutions for budget shortfalls seem to be focused on increasing burdens and reducing services for the lower classes. Maybe some of these shortfalls could be made up for by bringing the tax rates on the wealthy and corporations back up to pre-Reagan era levels, and also recouping some of the trillions in tax avoidance money hiding in offshore shelters?

This seems more preferable to me than nickle and diming the elderly.

I was recently talking to my dad about my grandfather who lived to the ripe old age of 98.

Life without those you love and shared experiences with just doesn't seem worth it.

I was fundraising last year for the company I work at and one of the investors asked me if I'd consider doing XYZ. I said, well that would put our share price to such that you would create a massive valuation on the business, so no. They seemed confused and said but wouldn't you want to make the company that valuable. I smiled and ended the meeting. What they wanted would introduce an enormous amount of risk to the business because Valuation != valuable. I would imagine this type of conversation is how founders end up on that list. I think our business is great, but I'm not delusional.

There is a marked difference between investing and outright gambling. When you invest, you are placing capital at risk in order to achieve some kind of gain, be it growth or dividends. At the end of the investment, there is the return of your original principal. There are legal mechanisms in place that govern real investments. That's not to say that you can't lose all that initial principal, you can, but it's still a remarkably different process than what these Ponzi schemes look like. At least to me.

Look, every Ponzi that ever existed has anecdotes about those who made it big--it's part of the con. Getting rich quick is the dream of every peon everywhere.
