No, the coin you have in an exchange is theirs. You don't have those private keys. And the coin can move around. Coinbase actually flaunts this as a feature (you can give money to other Coinbase users without using the blockchain).
This is also why they won't accept generated coins from mining payouts.

Reason #34 for taking a more adversarial relationship with the surveillance-happy plays: they started gaslighting us in their stores.

One reason among many that Bluetooth and Wifi are off on my phone when I leave somewhere. (Most of the time. I sometimes forget.) Aside from passive monitoring, we get things like this, where your personal devices become the equivalent of jailhouse snitches.

I don't see it as an invasion of privacy - it is their wifi. But it is an example of grabbing after every last nickel without considering ancillary concerns, like me thinking it is awful, icky, gross behavior and adjusting my exposure to that shit accordingly.

Amazon is the darling. Where have you been, boy?

Seriously, Amazon comes in for more than its fair share of (often deserved) hate here on HN.
Glad to hear you're liking things! I started the project and am the managing editor of sorts. We're just a small group of volunteers. Our process is very painstaking and specialized so we get much fewer contributors than larger, more easy-going projects like Gutenberg; but I'm just glad that we can contribute a little to free culture everywhere :)
I interpret Musk's interest in this kind of thing as a form of ideological futurism rather than a pragmatic goal. I think he presents the idea of something very far out and very ambitious as a way to try and inspire people to think big and think about developing technology the likes of which we've never seen before.

It's an interesting strategy, but I think it has a major downside too. It strikes many people (me included) as a bit detached from reality and even cold to the concerns of the many people here on Earth that are struggling.

Interesting Venn diagram in Fig 2. If "COST OF TRIP TO MARS" = "INFINITE MONEY", shouldn't "CAN AFFORD TO GO" be an empty set?
Partly because MySQL requires a full table lock and full table copy to implement those operations. Much of the nosql movement originated from implementing schema changes on production MySQL databases. In many if not most cases, NoSQL is really NoMySQL.

Many other engines, PostgreSQL for example, can add a new column without constraints as a nearly instant metadata change only. Data type changes that do not require validation (expanding a VARCHAR vs CHAR to INT) are also rapid.
Again, we're not talking about going to mars for the sake of it, like someone climbing the Everest because nobody has ever done it.

There's even a saying : "nobody remembers the second person who climbed the Everest".

We're talking about colonization, not Everest-like conquest. Most colonizers will be anonymous. Whatever goals they'll have, fame will not be one of them.

Speaking purely from the perspective of someone who holds a small sum of BTC, this seems totally normal and honestly predictable. Again, I'm not an econ guy so this may be naive, but BTC strikes me as just crazy volatile and runs at break-neck speeds. Instead of having a great-depression or recession last years, it last a couple weeks to a month... ditto for bull markets.

This month, BTC->USD rates have hockey-sticked, people on /r/bitcoin were cheering. This happens cyclically and is a signal that it's time to sell and buy the subsequent crash or wait it out until others do.

It certainly feels like a correction.
Does it even matter when the people using these numbers will distort the facts anyway?

CenturyLink Is Accused of Running Wells Fargo-Like Scheme
I tend to agree with that. Very much like soliciting design or product feedback from users. You don't want to be implementing every button or specific feature that a user says they need. Find what to gain from it if anything and hopefully find some growth from it. Thanks for the clarification.

The author is correct in saying that music theory is not a "theory" the scientific sense.

But as a musician/producer/composer I'd never want that anyway. Having studied many forms of music, I know that there is no "right" and so a proscriptive/predictive "theory" of music is not at all what we want. On the contrary, what is "right" in music comes from a long line of collective cultural reasoning. This is much more evident in the distinctions between the development of eastern and western music, each having their own "theory". Notably, eastern music has a lot lower emphasis on harmonic progression and tends to use different tuning, sometimes "perfect" tuning (something which western music must eschew to support flexible harmonic motion). This leads me to my thesis, that music theory is primarily descriptive in nature and there are many theories of music, driven by historical-cultural development.

Music "theory" should lie outside of the domain and concern of science. There are fields which address the human response and other scientific natures of this such as psychoacoustics, electrical engineering and signal processing, and mathematics. Music "theory" has in its view aesthetics which lie outside of the domain of science and is a tool for use in describing things which have been found pleasing aurally and culturally.
Sounds interesting, hope to see some replies (I'm just a hobbyist so I don't have a comment).

It is true some modernist architecture hasn't aged well due to short-sighted deployment of the building materials and techniques available at the time. Frank Lloyd-Wright was particularly bad about this, and that could be attributed to the fact he was usually designing for ostentation. At the same time, there are modernist buildings demonstrating very intelligent choices over a the structure's long-term durability and maintainability. E.g. Bauhaus residences that put windows at the corners, to optimize on holes cut through exterior walls vs. natural light let in. Likewise for metal Lustron homes built during the 1940s in the US.

In my experience, "schemaless" just means that I'll have to manage the schema manually through some "updater" scripts.

Any data without schema is just noise, so if you have any data, it means that you have schema for it somewhere.
Last year I sold my interest in a startup with a patent application for SLAP (Statutory Litigation Automated Pricing) we partnered with law firms and were consumer facing automating law firm fee calculation and hiring online. After that I worked with Walmart to develop a "self serve legal kiosk" for use in Walmart stores with another vendor.

At some point with the former project I was in talks with both legalzoom and Avvo, but I was never able to close a mutually beneficial deal and was eventually acquired.

I've always been a legal maverick, graduating early from law school and simultaneously completing 3 legal clinics including a externiship/judicial clerkship. Generally, I'm a workhorse, having ran 27 half marathons last month. I checked the jobs and it doesn't look like your team is searching, but I would be interested in talking if your team could use extra legal talent for developing firm tools.

What are the issues with Linode not having an ASN?
That would be a lot more readable without the _giant_ cartoons every couple paragraphs...

As far as the actual content goes, I wonder what impact the rise of remote work will have on this data in the coming decade or two. Personally, I'm an outlier, according to this data. I'm white, a democrat, have a well paying (remote) job, and live (literally) across the street from my childhood home in upstate New York (actually 'upstate', not 'Westchester'... there are cows within walking distance of my house).

It's the best of both worlds, from my perspective. Remote work gives me the benefits of a "big city" career path, but with the added benefit of having my kids grandparents just across the street.
Currencies always go up or down based on trust in the currency's backer; in their ability to perform. Thus as the US Dollar (USD) went up against the British Pound Sterling (BPS) when Brexit was declared the course to go, the USD has fallen as more business uses for the Blockchain (BTC, ETC, LTC, etc.) have become viable and implemented: trust decreased in the UK's ability to govern and produce stable storage of value in the BPS, trust increased the Blockchain's ability to store value through entrenching itself in everyday business.

All currencies live and die on market pressures which require societal trust. An exchange of one currency for another is an exchange in preference of trust. Stock is the exact same thing, with the value a measure of trust in the given corporation and the viability of it to survive in a given economic, industrial, or political environment. To equate that they are different is to speciate an argument for why one set of matter and social construct is eternal in nature and the rest are mortal in nature: it is a highly opinionated point which one must make which in itself proves that the argument is false.
This is why the world needs dreamers like Musk.

Nobody could have predicted the huge technological advances we've made in the last 100 years, let alone the speed at which they were developed.

If we just keep brushing ideas like this off as "totally impractical right now" then there's no goal to work towards.

It's no secret the our time on Earth is limited, and becoming more limited as the human race expands and evolves.

It really comes down to weather or not you believe the human race is capable of existing outside of Earth. I am in the camp of "we'll figure it out" just like we have up to this point. My fear is that most people fall into the "I'll die before it happens so why bother thinking about it" camp.

The mere possibility of Amazon entering the pharmacy sector poses a threat to their businesses. And since Amazon purchased Whole Foods, Wall Street analysts probably think that the likelihood of Amazon entering this sector is now higher than before, because Amazon just acquired a number of physical retail locations in which they could place pharmacies.

Also worth noting that this is businessinsider... not exactly the pinnacle of business journalism. There were probably other market events affecting CVS / Walgreens today other than Amazon's acquisition.
It's simple. You just need to have offices NOT in new york and san francisco, then you don't need to compete with the tech companies.
On some career advice to keep interviewing even when you aren't looking for a job, I started trying to freshen up my experience. As part of that I did 3 practice interviews with https://interviewing.io/ and they were helpful – the feedback is honest, both about my presentation (e.g., I jumped into coding too quickly), and just stuff to know (e.g., A*). The practice sessions only cover the "whiteboard" part of the interview (not the "tell me about yourself" part). I feel a little bad I haven't followed up and done a practice interview for someone else, but I appreciate the people who helped me out.

Doesn't have a pharmacy yet
Why does it being "easier" matter?
Getting that extra education may make more sense for trades like electricians, it makes zero sense for salespeople or cooks or house painters or hair stylists and yet all these people are forced into three years of underpaid labor and crappy government schooling.

Even if the German system was better (which it isn't), it makes you wonder how all the other countries in the world are going by without it. German workers are relatively underpaid even after going through the rites, that's what makes us competitive - not the fact that our workers have more skills than they need.

> so that if they choose to become Meister to be their own boss they don't need to learn all the extra stuff

That makes no sense. Most never become a "Meister", but even those that do could learn that stuff when and if they need it.
Interesting. I have a side project exactly like this. I created it after I saw the need for this myself. I've never bothered to check the internet for competing services, but this kinda motivates me.
I hope not. It's annoying.
One can find homeopathic remedies in Whole Foods. Maybe that's a pharmacy?
Your site seems to be down at the moment.

I read your blurb under your presentation, admittedly did not watch your presentation. However I would say that your blurb comes off too much of an attack on robo advisors and not enough about your own company/approach and how you're different from every other active investor. I'd focus on why you're good, rather than on why the competition is bad.
They wrote "clouds of Venus". Meaning floating cities high in the atmosphere of Venus, at a level where the air density is about one Earth atmosphere.
Relevant quotes:

> Whole Foods doesn't have a pharmacy, though it does sell vitamins and supplements. That means that Amazon's entrance into the pharmacy business, at least at a brick-and-mortar-level, might not be immediate.

> "We recognize that the sheer establishment of a physical presence is likely to give pause to those more concerned by the Amazon risk but note that Whole Foods does not have pharmacy and therefore is less likely to serve as a specific conduit towards driving whatever Amazon’s eventual pharmacy strategy might be," UBS said in a note.

Probably not any more uncomfortable than I'd be with the prospect of aborting a surface launch.

There's probably some trick to do with the crew portion of the rocket too, where it could be buoyant before it got down to 9 atmospheres.
> I still believe that Instacart and Shipt can succeed

Amazon could just buy Shipt and/or Instacart as well, barring FTC intervention.

I'm not sure what B2B partners Shipt has, but I know they have a mobile app. Joining the mobile app to Amazon would give Shipt a boost and Amazon a start, I'd imagine.

[I worked with one of Shipt's mobile developers at a previous position. Go Shipt!]
some body styles can buy cheap clothes that fit well.

If you're even moderately muscular and don't want to look like you're wearing a tent, it's very difficult to buy clothes that fit well. For example, my waist is a 35-36 but I mostly have to buy 38 or 40 in waist jeans to fit my butt because of squats and deads. I mostly buy from Tommy Bahama for that reason.
It doesn't quite imply a trusted network. It controls the set of hosts that can communicate, but doesn't say anything about the possibility of interception or tampering like a VPN or VPC does.
Different people have different thresholds for what's "water under the bridge." That's fine. I've been a long time occasional customer of there's, but have become increasingly leery of their business and employment practices, both from media reports and people I know who've worked with them. I wouldn't want to be treated that way or see anyone I know treated that way either. That's what informs my views and comments. If you see it as an agenda, that's okay too.

But I only used the term "seem" because your framing is to position yourself as somehow more impartial and knowledgeable, while refusing to clarify your own relationship with Amazon and what informs your (in my view) similar stridency.

Michelle Carter guilty of manslaughter in texting suicide case
I hear you. And agree. But that is a different problem.

To eat healthy on a very low wage you need to live enough out of the city to be able plant a garden and grow your own vegetables. OR shop at a place like Aldi but make sure to buy fresh food instead of the packaged crap.

But Whole Paycheck is a different market.
Nice job on the video -- your pitch was very clear and I could understand right away what your company was about.
We can build nuclear-bomb-proof bunkers, but that doesn't mean a survivable fraction of the population lives in them. If we had just days or hours of warning for an incoming dark asteroid, all our tech still might not save the species.

Having a Martian society existing concurrently is like the difference between saying "yeah, we could back up our server to tape" and actually running concurrent instances. Or like the difference between legislation to require eco-friendly behavior and technology that makes eco-friendly behavior more economical than the old way.

It exists not as a resource drain but as an improvement. Useful things that happen to also solve problems are often superior to perhaps less expensive things that solve the problem but might be seen as a cost center.

Also, I don't disagree that post-apocalypse, 99% of those Martian manufacturers of orbital solar collectors should hop on the next shuttle back to Earth.
"Human nature" encompasses the range from Somali warlords to Swiss efficiency. Some of what's messy with today's life on Earth is that we didn't know better - we clear-cut forests, we built Boston's streets to fit horses and not cars, we built houses before public transit, etc.

A city built from scratch in 2017 is going to look a lot different than a city that grew organically since the 1600s. Part of the appeal of Mars for me is the ability to build a planet knowing what we know now about city planning.
As far as I know, that's illegal in the US to interfere with cell signals. A big box store like Target is a poor man's Faraday cage (he said, having 0 knowledge of physics) and offering free wifi is a small cost if it means people stay inside the store longer.

Saying this isn't anti-competitive because customers can always ignore the free wifi misses the point: given the service issues in stores and the attractiveness of (usually) higher speed wifi, people are going to be drawn to it and no one is going to read the Terms & Conditions that say "Hey, we're going to try to prevent you from shopping for the lowest price!"
Out of curiosity, why the focus on algorithms? Does your work genuinely involve understanding the implementation details of various algorithms? If so, could you provide an example? I'm genuinely curious.

I definitely know what you feel like. I'm in a very similar position. ~4 years at my previous company where I worked my way into a Developer position, and then recently left to work with a friend in another company.

I like the company I'm at now and although it's full-time with no end of employment in sight, I know eventually I'll have to go through the normal process. I've worked at 2 companies now as a developer at varying positions of development, and I don't feel qualified to pass a single interview.

Luckily I have time to prepare, but I really need to get that established. Probably take the time to do a proper CS course to boot. Keep your head up, and thanks your reply :)
Exactly. If you're making $35k a year, all that story meant to you was "a bunch of billionaires colluded so someone making 5x what I make couldn't make 5.5x what I make."
> What was condescending about my post?

Gee, probably the "If you'd just go camping you'd see your lifelong dream is bullshit" and "You're naïve and hubristic" bits.
What I find disturbing about the verdict is this: If the person found guilty of manslaughter then goes and commits suicide citing, in a suicide letter, that the words of the judge made her do it, would the judge be guilty?

Now, I know that lawyers protect their own and the judge might make the defence that the above argument is too far of a leap, but one could have argued the same for the initial verdict that just by the mere suggestion and lack of action one should be responsive for someone else's action.
Business is just too easy when you're big.

I think we need something like progressive economic barriers. Right now this seems inverted, with all the barriers at the "entry" level.
> It's expensive to get there.

For now, because mass-produced starships are not a thing yet. SpaceX is on the best way to change this.

> If you forgot something on Earth, it will be 2 years before you can retrieve it.

Assuming regular (monthly) spaceship travel it's anything from 150 (you noticed the same day the ship is launched and Earth is at optimum position) to 330 days (ship just launched a second after you noticed and Earth is at longest distance), but not a full year.

> Once there, you're damned closed to dying every minute of every day.

I'd guess if you put in a proper emergency hospital kit on a pre-manned-flight-mission and two ER doctors on the first manned flight you're pretty much set.

Lots of dangers that kill in short time on Earth are simply not present on Mars - you won't have deadly new pathogens, no cars, no dangerous animals and cancer can be kept at bay until a flight back to Earth can be arranged.

The immediate dangers however will be decompression/Mars atmosphere exposure, structural failure in the buildings that will be used for housing, fire and critical breakage of oxygen generation.
