If you want to increase good ideas getting to market, fund basic science, not startups. VCs might not be picking exactly the right companies, but it is hard to argue there isn't enough private investment capital for high growth startups. The real missing link is support for new ideas long before they are startups.

It's possible to create a self-executing contract on Ethereum that will automatically send a pre-agreed amount of ether when you make a pre-agreed online bank transfer. In other words, it's possible to have exchange between fiat currencies and cryptocurrency without any need for trust, except in relation to whatever risk there is for each counter-party to report the other for participating in that particular transaction.
This is correct. Which is why there is a low 'floor limit' on NFC/Contactless payments. Your card is not actually authorised at point of transaction.

It's a meritocracy in the eyes of the employers.

What we don't know is whether employers are correct in their assumption that 40-plus applicants can't cut it on those considerations.

As stated with the 68000 - I often wondered where the industry would be if the 68000 was picked instead of the x86 architecture by IBM. The 68000 had a far better design and the ISA had real legs. Instead we got stuck with the monstrosity that is the x86 architecture. Probably put us back a decade or so I think.
> There were millions of people in Germany in both industry and the military who were not Nazi's and survived just fine

Well, let's talk about that. How many of those millions who were both in both industry and the military AND ALSO were rocket scientists?

For example? I'm not here to post up your argument.

It's not apocryphal to say that full German citizens not persecuted for the racial background joined the Nazi party to escape suspicion of infidelity to the Führer's master plan of Aryan takeover, especially if you were an intellectual. Let's bring up another member of the Nazi party: Oskar Schindler. Tell me your criticism of Mr. Schindler. Was he acting in a purely selfish way?

OK, let's talk about another German with the scientific mind whose knowledge and genius was enough to kill thousands of people: Albert Einstein.

Should he have chosen, "Death"?

Having a 4 year old son I am the first person to put my hand up and say I absolutely HATE ads and general in-app purchases for games that he likes to play on my iPhone. In some cases the way these are implemented it is almost akin to being in a casino which is not a skill I really want my son picking up (watch this ad to see what prize you can WIN etc).

I welcome Sega's announcement and will be delighted to hand over $1.99 to disable all ads - I know their games are of a known quality, and will come without suprise violence included etc.

By way of example I have one simple game he loves to play that randomly brings up images of a guy holding a girl in a headlock with a gun pointed at her head.... and the same ad comes up repeatedly. I can't even disable it via an in-app purchase (trust me, I tried).

As an aside, I'd welcome some suggestions of games he can play, and if anyone reading this is a game developer I'll be happy to provide any imnput to something you are dreaming up.

Sure. But sometime, you can take away only that. but the loss will be all yours.

I mean, somebody can give you a block on gold unpolished and unwrapped. Sure, you can say, "How dare you give me that gold unwrapped! There is no way I am taking it. I demand you give that wrapped up property in fancy paper and tied with a ribbon." Sure you can say that. But the loss will be all yours. You got the shit anyway and gained no gold...

So the point is, if it the speaker who has to gain something by getting their point across, sure. They will have to be diplomatic. But when someone, halfway across the world is teaching you something from their ridiculously singular experience, seemingly in a rude way...

You shut up and listen.
WHY CHOOSING THE BEST WEB HOSTING IS CRUCIAL FOR Your BUSINESS?
> Wouldn't it be nice if you didn't demand free work of us in our free time? seems an odd line, but is there some context for the non-Linux person on what is going on?

Spender (and PaXTeam) has consistently claimed for many years that although he owns a software company whose sole product is a kernel patchset (and they are the only people who develop that patchset) that all grsecurity work is done in their free time. Which means that nobody (including their paying customers) is paying them for grsecurity development.

This usually comes up when Spender wants to claim that Linux has a lot of money in its development and that it is unreasonable that he, the poor developer he is, should work on upstreaming his patches. Personally it always struck me as dishonest.

I recently had an argument with them about this, which was "fun"[1].

I believe the idea is to merge XC back to X down the road. Not sure if that goal changed.
It's on the way though. I'm amazed that writing javascript is starting to feel (a bit) like scala, once you add transpiling from ES7, lambda syntax, optional implicit typing, modules, a focus on immutability, etc. It's so much nicer than what javascript used to be while keeping full backwards compatibility

And we get to keep the miracle that is robust sandboxing for dynamic code download and execution, and a choice of browsers from vendors consistently following one spec.

Do you mean the actual chip back and fourth? The inherent problem is that the 7816-d standard is a mess. It requires extremely small data exchanges on the order of seconds to get a cert out of the card.

Git is not really using SHA-1 for encryption, just as unique hashes. I think it is unlikely to get a collision in a non-contrived instance. Eventually git will move off of SHA-1, but I imagine it will never matter.
Depends on implementations of the alist and of the hash table. It is even fully possible that the small hash table will use an alist for the cases with few (and small) elements.
Pretty cool to read these stories about AIX. It's always been a nice system paired with HW often a couple years ahead of the performance curve, but it certainly became more and more of a sustaining effort after 2001.

> Weren't really associated with an enormous transfer of wealth on the same level as, say, the railroads or the age of sail.

How do you predict wealth will transfer differently under blockchains than with usual state backed currencies. Not the literal (you don't need a bank), but societal?

If block chains were to completely replace US currency, but society used them exactly the same, then they wouldn't be a transformative tech. They'd need to change society economically to do that. How do you see it doing that?

How would you design a spherical compass with“squared degrees” for space travel?
"2 radians equals 360 degrees. Thus 1 radian = 180/ degrees, and 1 degree = /180 radians. d(A,B) = R a /180, These formulas can be checked by noticing that the arc length is proportional to the angle, and then checking the formula for the full circle, i.e., when a = 2 radians (or 360 degrees)"
Bad internet speeds, WiFi or business skimping on internet. It's never usually the terminal, it's the connection to their payment provider, or their payment provider reseller's connection to THEIR payment provider.

It's very common for bars and restaurants to have a dedicated line for the terminal, but usually they'll skimp on tech (have seen dial-up over POTS or in a fibre-capable premises). Also very common to use 3G or 2.5G.

It'd take a tech all of 5 minutes to diagnose and suggest a fix for 98% of these slow terminals. It's strange seeing businesses not look to fix these issues. If I was a payment provider I'd probably run diagnostics against my customers terminals every day and force poor performing customers to have someone come in and fix it.

> 99.999% of projects are not going to have any meaningful hot path in variable resolution.

It won't show up in the hot path because the performance cost so pervasive that profiling tools will ignore it, it's everywhere and you can't escape it without compiler optimizations. This cost will be in the hot and cold paths. This and data locality are the two biggest performance issues in dynamic languages and a lot of effort goes into compiling it out.

Here is a good article on how V8 tries to deal with it: https://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/speed/v8/

For statically compiled languages it can show up but often you'll have to write a dictionary free version to see it. Some profiling I've done with c# at various times over the years shows that it's slower than a list until you have more than 50 to 100 items. The caveat is that I normally keep the dictionary version because it's more semantically correct.
Gold isn't a "Ponzi scheme". Even if you believe that investing in gold makes no sense, and it's a useless metal with no practical purposes, and it's a bubble waiting to burst and so on, that still doesn't make it a Ponzi scheme.

Even if all of those beliefs above were true, it still wouldn't be a Ponzi scheme. As someone else posted in here, Ponzi Scheme has a fairly specific definition which "Gold" doesn't meet.
I don't know what the reason actually is, but I assumed it was slow by design to make it harder to compromise, similar to bcrypt.

There's some truth to the fact that Itanium had terrible execution, but a number of attempts afterwards have been made as well, high end general purpose VLIW is just not the way to go.

Note the high end and general purpose, if you're talking about smartphone cores or supercomputing, then VLIW can actually perform quite well, and indeed Itanium enjoyed decent success in supercomputing and the Qualcomm Hexagon, albeit not really general purpose, finds itself in many processors doing solid work.
Really good timing for me to self promote. :-) I'm working on improved keepassxc browser extension. Communication between browser and KeePassXC is via NativeClient. You need varjolintu fork of KeePassXC, but eventually it will also support KeePassHTTP protocol too.

My goals currently are: internalization, nicer UI, clean and extensible code base. I already did options page with material-ui and react. Currently working on replacing jquery popup implentation for hyperapp, which appeared here on HN yesterday.

If interested I can send instruction how you can build extentions. I would like to see this as official part of KeePassXC and willing to donate for free. What you guys think?

You can try options UI on https://mauron85.github.io/keepassxc-browser/preview/

This subthread is off of devmunchies comment about Reddit and Twitter, and the OP is about 4chan. All of these forums are global.

My point is that American-style conservatism may represent half of Americans, but it's overwhelmed in other developed countries (which, taken together, are larger in population). So much so that I would argue that in the global context, American conservatism is small enough and far enough to one side of the debate that it's accurate to call it an extreme.

7 Important Points to Remember While Developing an iPhone App – Techugo
As an overarching critique of VLIW, this isn't that bad, but it does ignore a few things:

1. It's not strictly true that there is "absolutely no flexibility in scheduling", there are a few techniques that can at least mitigate this issue, such as Itanium's advanced loads and a few others. On the aggregate though, the lack of MLP is absolutely what killed VLIW, especially nowadays.

2. This is true, but IBM's style (which the Mill has adopted) of "specialization" can effectively negate this issue.
I don't have any suggestion for an iPhone. But Humble Bundle has had fantastic ad-free bundles of games, where you pay what you want.

Maybe get your four year old a cheap Android phone or tablet and some Humble Bundled games? Then you won't have ads, and if your child breaks the device, at least it wasn't your iPhone.
People have differing perceptions of 'popular opinion' and read the same comments differently depending on their pre-existing opinions. Even perfectly even-handed moderation would routinely be accused of bias because most such perceptions are in the eye of the beholder.

To my mind, the price of admission into a serious conversation about this is some awareness of how prevalent these biases are, including in one's own case. They determine nearly everything. Mostly all we really think is "what I like is good, what I dislike is bad, and others are good or bad to the extent that they agree". That goes along with "I'm a noble freethinker nobly standing apart from this groupthink echo chamber" and the associated, "You should moderate this forum to defend those I agree with and smite those I disagree with." These feelings are so compelling that it's hard to wriggle into any freedom from them. One should make the effort anyhow. People who make that effort start to see the problem differently, even as we all retain our biases.

There are many counterintuitive aspects to this. One is that community cohesion remains an issue even when 'popular opinion' (assuming it exists and you know what it is) is wrong. There are ways of disputing popular opinion that cause harm even when they're right; it isn't a simple matter of just 'stating the unpopular truth' (assuming it exists and you know what it is) and then lording it over or angrily lashing out at those who 'can't handle it'. You actually have a greater responsibility by virtue of the fact that you know, or believe you know, more truth. Most people who fancy themselves to be expressing an unpopular truth don't take that responsibility—on the contrary, they use that truth as a weapon, to vent grievances, gain status, and so on. This harms discussion and community even if you are right about both popular opinion and the truth. Indeed, it does more harm the more right you are, because then you're discrediting the truth with your behavior and gifting the majority with an easy excuse to keep rejecting the minority view.
