In another thread I was commenting about the volatility of the currency and how it could be a vanity metric how we give value to it based on its USD conversion rate.

I think this issue will be solved when there are more places accepting BTC. Then you wouldn't need to keep an eye for when to buy/sell it. You would be able to spend it.

I read on /r/btc/ someone saying that "currently, BitCoin are like Magic The Gathering cards". And it really does!
Or to look at it another way -- $100 pays for maybe two or three hours of programmer time. If a developer isn't willing to put that kind of effort into a PC release, it's probably going to be a pretty low-quality game.

Realistically that would not happen because the only significant advocacy group for better labor laws for employees is... well, guess.
Australian coal is currently largely used for steel making in India as "coking coal" as far as I know. Power generation is largely local coal. A few power plants that depend on imported coal have been proposed but hardly any have come through as the political process of acquiring coal has been undependable.

Never have. I'm a guy. Midwestern American accent. But if you look at the buy requests, people are looking for anything but that! Big demand for British female and different languages and bilingual.

Yeah, dealing with vendors can be frustrating, for sure.

I'm still a little sad about the I-178 eval, since a lot of the work I saw done by RC was quite good, if limited in scope. Seeing The vendor (imo) misrepresent that effort to sell other software was rather disappointing to someone who had (at the time) just spent a couple years jumping on the formal methods bandwagon.

I'm also not particularly happy with the trend towards process, rather than results based evals. (DO-178, and CSFC, I'm looking at you), but I can see how we got here after the EAL7 well was poisoned.

Meh, evolution is known to write utterly incomprehensible spaghetti code. It's really not surprising that reverse engineering it is so hard.

Write a very simple genetic algorithm to evolve artificial neural networks or computer code. Often it can solve simple tasks in creative ways. But trying to understand the output is usually a nightmare. It usually comes up with ridiculously convoluted and insane ways of doing things. E.g; https://www.damninteresting.com/on-the-origin-of-circuits/

>The plucky chip was utilizing only thirty-seven of its one hundred logic gates, and most of them were arranged in a curious collection of feedback loops. Five individual logic cells were functionally disconnected from the rest— with no pathways that would allow them to influence the output— yet when the researcher disabled any one of them the chip lost its ability to discriminate the tones. Furthermore, the final program did not work reliably when it was loaded onto other FPGAs of the same type.

Now imagine a system many times larger and more sophisticated than that, that evolution has been hacking on for hundreds of millions of years.

Doesn't mean we aren't close to human level AI though. We didn't completely reverse engineer birds before building airplanes, or horses before building cars.
The relationship between you as an employee and employer is totally different than you and a (potential) union. The one is paying you a salary for certain work done. The other is to (potentially) help you to negotiate better working conditions. You are absolutely making no sense at all.

Does Reddit have democratic deploys (i.e every engineer is responsible to deploy their own changes into production). Or do you guys have a system with release managers?
Certainly not just India, the switch is nearly universal. Some countries are getting a faster start ditching big polluting coal plants than others. Three closed yesterday in the US, for instance.
Every engineer writes code, gets it reviewed, checks it in, and rolls it out to production regularly.
Like machine learning. Too many on HN are trying to get into it but will be outgunned by the Stanford PhDs et al.
Ask HN: Why does an “open letter” have more legitimacy than a “blog post”?
People seem to give more weight, value, trust to a piece of writing titled as an "open letter", than they do to just a plain old piece of writing.

Why is that?
I've had the same experience while being high! But I was alone, listening to comedy podcasts, not finding them funny because I was -sure- I had heard it before, and all the punchlines were known to me already. It literally made everything not funny because it was old news.

But the extra weird part was that after that, I'd occasionally get similar episodes while sober, for a couple of years
Public unions and private unions are entirely different beasts IMO. I don't like the idea of public unions because they can essentially bleed taxpayers dry. See California or Illinois unfounded liabilities for the result of that. Not to mention the atrocity that is police unions.
It's often the case that these issues don't need extra coders thrown at them, or if they do it will be code of a sufficiently high complexity that only a minority of experts dedicating years to it will make any headway. In either case, the result is that people could provide more meaningful help through pursuits other than becoming another mediocre programmer. Rather than balloons giving free wifi, people in difficult areas need stuff that can actually improve their lives. Unfortunately, when you have a hammer all you see is nails.

Of course, most people learning how to code will not tackle these problems in the first place. The incentives are such that it's more rational to create yet another zero-sum ad-based social-app-for-dogs project. Even the smartest programmers of our generation are probably working on some way to strengthen target advertisements or some other "late-stage capitalism" product that is not useful in the bigger picture, or even constitutes a downright drain on resources. But who can blame them? Without money you are treated like a subhuman creature, with enough of it you are almost a God.

> Without the labour movement we'd have Triangle Shirtwaist fires and Ludlow massacres every week

It's a little disingenuous to conflate the labor movement with NLRA-regulated unions, especially in the context of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire and the response to it. They're not one and the same, although modern unions have done their best to erase that distinction from the historical narrative.

You might also want to consider the other things unions of the time were involved with.
Early 20th century unions passed bylaws excluding non-white members from their ranks, and then (successfully) lobbied for federal laws excluding them from the country altogether.

Without the AFL, we may not have had the Chinese Exclusion Act, and we might not have stripped Americans of Chinese and Indian descent of their naturalized citizenship, seized the homes they legally bought with the money they earned, and then given the land to white Americans.
You started by saying China emits double the amount of greenhouse gasses the US does. Someone pointed out that it's still lower on a per-capita basis, so you switched tack to "oh, well, yeah, but... WHY DO POOR COUNTRIES GET A PASS!" That, my friend, is moving the goalposts.

So you want the US, richest nation in the world, to be held to the same standards as developing countries. Even though, in our economy, pushing for green energy actually generates more jobs than trying to bring back polluting industries. What, exactly, is there to gain from that?
I never really understood why admissions committees give any credit whatsoever to 'well-rounded' students. If somebody spent all their time volunteering in 10 different inconsequential clubs, playing 5 musical instruments, and participating in 3 different sports, I would consider them a 'tourist' or a dabbler, if you will, and wouldn't give them any credit. Now if they happened to win a championship, get a gold medal, or qualify for the Olympics, etc., then that's an entirely different story.

Well, there's a reason I dropped out, after all. ;-)

But the article offers a good exposition of what happens when you have a world with too little philosophy. And that's the relatively harmless side of it. Everyone from Kafka to Hannah Arendt to Erich Fromm has sketched out the malignant side of capitalist education -- a society of people with skills but no Knowledge, a globe of narrow technical specialists with, to borrow a favoured turn of phrase from Dmitry Orlov, "nary a forehead in the crowd disfigured by a sentient impulse".

This is a great article. I nominate it for article of the year.

So if someone should either be forced to join a union that they don't want to be apart of or just find another job. Doesn't this kinda provide an argument against unionizing in the first place? If you are joining a company that isn't part of a union you accepting that fact... why should employees be allowed to unionize when that it is against the wishes of the pre-existing wishes of the company?
But air quality degeneration does have a lot of basis on per capita pollution. The per capita argument was good enough to set the tone at Paris, for an agreement between all the nations on this planet. The argument against per capita pollution contribution is just willful ignorance.

Besides, none of you have even bothered to look at the figures. India's current coal consumption is less than 30% of the US, for a population 4-5 times larger. Even if we double our coal consumption, it wouldn't outstrip US at their current levels.
You're wrong about Realtors. Most work 7 days a week and care deeply about their clients. Want to pick on someone, make it me.

Strictly, neither does Google, as long as they are following the industry group's standard. Sure, Google is a member of that group and may be able to influence the standard, but so are a lot of other companies, from Facebook to the Washington Post. I doubt any one company can run away with the standard without the others having a say, or at least making a big stink.

There seems to be a correlation between low growth and low interest rates.

It's interesting to speculate that the direction of causation might be low interest rates -> inefficient use of capital -> low growth. In which case low interest rates would hurt everyone.

> The biggest ad company in the world gets to decide what is and isn't acceptable for an ad

Did we read the same article, because that's not an accurate representation of what I read. Google is implementing an industry group standard. Sure, Google is part of that industry group, but so are Facebook and The Washington Post. I doubt Google can run away with the standard without other making a big stink out of it.

As long as Chrome actually follows the standard, characterizing this as "Google dictating what is and isn't acceptable for an ad" is not accurate.

But that was my exact point, if life of American is equivalent to life of Honduran then there should be no borders. I am all about that, I would be more than happy with open borders because life is equal. But current immigration laws are treating American lives above anyone else's lives and therefore by current laws Honduran in your story should be dead and by current law it would be fair. This brings me to the point of laws and fairness, I am not ok with unfairly treating honest people trying to immigrate through legal means. It is absolutely unfair for legal immigrant to suffer through the process just to find out that illegal immigrant skipped all that and his/her kids got same rights etc. It is also unfair to people who don't have courage to commit a crime (illegally immigrate). Open borders would solve those issues though.

IE was extremely replaceable.

Microsoft tried to tie it in as much as they could to leverage it being the default and justify it being bundled, but the other vendors share at least an equal share of the blame for completely dropping the ball.

How long did Netscape Navigator/Communicator 4 linger? How many wasted resources were poured into things like the integrated page builder in Communicator instead of features? Do you remember trying to use Netscape 6 Beta or whatever it was called before it became Mozilla?

IE 5 and 6 were initially just that much better. Heck, IE was even the best browser on Mac for a while circa 2000-2002ish.

MS deserves a ton of extra blame for letting IE6 stagnate for five freaking years until Phoenix->Firebird->Firefox got them off their asses again, but don't blame them for having the better product when that initial war was won.

But, another key difference here is that Google has much more incentive to keep improving Chrome and web standards even if they get more and more market share, since their user-facing products are web properties, and Microsoft's were not at the time.

2. Do you ever find yourself spending whole days at work without being on the site because you don't want to be distracted while working on something?
