The same cannot be said about VC money going to unicorns. Those companies provide in-demand services that people use and enjoy, even if the business model is tenuous, there is clear value created by the services. Not true of ICOs which create no value.

In addition to other commenters providing sources for this assertion, there is also the fact that Russia's current strategic doctrine is to disrupt and delegitimize governing institutions of rival states, and Russia considers pretty much everyone a rival. Moscow's operating assumption is that the current international stage is chaotic, resource-poor, and intensely competitive, such that sustainable cooperation between between major powers is not only unlikely, but also that attempts at development or stabilization of an international cooperative order would be potentially catastrophic.

This is to say: Russia has a powerful incentive to do everything up to and including manipulating foreign elections, but in the eyes of Putin it is sufficient to be seen to be manipulating foreign elections. Arguably, this has a greater effect on the capacities of his adversaries, because democratic systems don't really work without a general consensus that elections are legitimate. Russia does not want an alliance with a strong US and EU, they want no alliance with a greatly weakened US and EU.
No, it's not. The filetype is "vim", and the filetype detection code explicitly calls it "Vim script": https://github.com/vim/vim/blob/4670490673ed98502a09b74fbabe...
Ummm... Pasteurization used to kill deadly bacteria in our food is done heating the substance to sanitize at 73-75 degree Celsius for around 15 seconds. For brewing a good coffee or tea you need a much higher temperature and I guess they don't immediately cool it down.

So, go ahead, drink your coffee or tea on the plane. Yes, it is disgusting, but it is a matter of taste, not of bacterial infection.

That perspective is whole ignorant of the consequences of not having a mechanism for protecting people's outputs and value. Are you incented to work if someone else gets paid for that work? Why would you think that is any different with regard to patents, copyrights, and trademarks, etc.

I get that there are abuses and even grotesque distortions, but that theory is fully and clearly false. Yes, you should have protection, no you should not have abusive protecting as it exists right now in basically every single field and sector.

No, you should not be allowed to lease mineral rights and then just sit on them for free. No you should not be able to copyright something essentially forever. No, patents should not even be awarded for basic inevitable things that a corporations simply had the financial ability to copyright first. No, you should not be able to keep exponential gains from the value and environment a society created without also paying exponential taxes to compensate and contribute due to that success. But there has to be a fundamental right and ability to keep the value from what one has earned and created. That may seem an anathema to the recent generation infested by communism and ideologically subverted by islam, but the alternative is the collapse of society.
we don't have capitalism in US we have corporationism. free market would have been a good thing before automation and AI, but it won't work for the future. but you can't convince people to go toward socialism in this country. but left and right agree that problem is crony capitalism ! let's start from there and do something!!!
Many of our regulatory bodies have been utterly captured by biggest companies that they are supposed to regulate, and they are tamping down innovation (which creates jobs), increasing prices, and decreasing quality. Both the Democrats and Republicans have been engaging too heavily in crony capitalism for decades, and this is the result.

How it works: Regulations that are supposed to protect the public end up being a cudgel with which to beat down small companies that can't afford to deal with an onslaught of often unjustified demands for regulatory compliance. When the only companies who can afford to comply are the big ones, it squeezes out new market entrants. This decreases competition. It's bad for all but a handful of people.

How it should work: Generally (not always), there should be a direct relationship between company size and the amount of regulations which apply (i.e. more regulations as you get bigger, fewer if you're small).

We need a heavy injection of honesty into our regulatory agencies. Restoring balance to the system would unleash a wave of economic growth.

When I was shilling for Senator Sanders in 2015 and 2016, I often said that I was equally excited for both his policies and the fact that he would make a lot of good appointments, which would clean a lot of crap out the rent-seeking regulatory system, which would be great for the economy.

Unfortunately, we're going to have to wait. But I hope this gets on more people's radars as one of the reasons why the middle class has been shrinking and real incomes going down for four straight decades.

True, but bandwidth and lack of "raw" access (eg: b/w limited api) might make some types of migrations extra hard with SaaS.

Good luck getting 1-10 Gpbs data transfer from most public SaaS to your own datacenter without having to pay over and above your current fee for Internet access (eg: have a look at what it costs to get just a TB data out of S3 -- on any budget (or prime) dedicated provider, 10-50 TB of data would be included - per month.
I believe that this meaning is even intentional, the original author of nix (Eelco Dolstra) is from the Netherlands. The name comes from the fact that by default, nothing is available in build environments in nix.
Generally it is perfectly valid to judge a book by it's cover but the article is actually pretty different in tone from the headline so I think it's actually worth a read.
I hear frequently the argument that crony capitalism is not really capitalism. And how "real capitalism" would work wonderfully.

That always remember me, how, when you argue with a communist, frequently those examples that you bring to the conversation are never "real communism".
I tend to play don't, I experience ribbing as a result and it becomes part of the atmosphere of the table. I think you minimize the mathematical difference too far, isn't it around .3% or .5%? I switch sides when the shooter is the player standing next to me, out of courtesy. Also playing this way gives you more to pay attention to, if you choose to lay odds.

See this for non-classified evidence: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14620389

I don't believe there are any claims Russia successfully hacked voting machines (I may have missed developments in the last week though). I believe there are claims they did successfully attack voter registration databases, but there are no real claims (except by left-wing conspiracy theory people) that they changed those databases - just stole data. I believe there is no non-classified evidence of this though (although I didn't read the document that Reality Winner sent to the Intercept, so that may document some evidence).

China has a well known hacking group (ATP-1) - see [1] for further information. There is no evidence or real claims they are involved in political interference within the US. OTOH they are quite good at industrial espionage and tracking Chinese dissidents.

I'm not very familiar with North Korea's group, but it is widely believed to be responsible for the Sony hack. I found that bizarre, but NK actions often are.

This story is clearly intended to make HR people happy. HR should not be in any role of judging a candidate or employee. They are there to facilitate things and smooth'en things out. If you assume that they have any authority or hierarchy over other departments/staff you are doing HR wrong. Most of the software companies do it right. Smarter engineers do not work for companies that value superficial skills like the one's mentioned in the story.
It was an out-of-left-field effort to redirect the China criticism back on the US (and Britain).
No one is trying to convince you to use C++. Obviously the data show there are tons of C++ jobs and this is something you can google yourself. And finance is not a "niche", considering it's like 20% of the US economy. I'm in finance and I write high-performance simulations and pricers. These things need to be predictable, fast, and the code needs to be maintainable. And yes, despite what the prevailing Go or Rust bros say, modern C++ is maintainable.

Indie development is somewhere between a crapshoot and a sucker's market. The costs are too high and the rewards are at best uncertain and at worst paltry to nonexistent.

I think it's a good time to point out that the most successful people during the California Gold Rush weren't prospectors - they were the ones who sold food, lodgings, supplies, and other needs to the prospectors, who worked their asses off just to make ends meet.

The safe temperature for killing bacteria is about 140°F or 60°C. To get water to boil at that low a temperature requires about ⅕ atmospheric pressure, or roughly the atmospheric pressure outside the aircraft.
I always find it sad, and kind of ridiculous, when indie game developers quit everything and live on no money for years trying to make the next big thing.

Making indie games should be about doing something because you love it. Keep a day job (even part time), then design and build something cool in your spare time. Don't worry about making money, worry about making something people want to play, and it will be much more fulfilling.

The game industry, just like any industry, is all about making money. It's not fun. It's not about self-expression... but doing it as a hobby is often both! Sometimes people who do it as a hobby end up making money, and that's great, but don't go in expecting that, because as the article states, it's very unlikely to happen.

Show HN: EC2 prices per GB of memory
I've built this page since I often just want to pick a spot instance type that gives me biggest bang for the buck. Amazon's own pricing page is still very confusing, and ec2instances.info is great but it is a static website and adding spot prices there is nontrivial.

I've also fixed a few minor things that annoyed me, such as correct sorting by instance type (so that r3.16x goes after r3.4x) and added a mode to display spot savings vs on-demand.

Would appreciate any feedback!

Only in areas where pedestrians specifically are given the right of way (e.g. crosswalks). Outside of specific structured instances like that small yields to big.

Of course if you just ignore that you don't have the right of way and just go people will slam on their brakes for you because that's the least costly option for dealing with the situation.

It's like taking a left turn across traffic. Some people may stop and let you go if they deem it appropriate but the burden is on the you to turn when it is clear to do so, not on them to stop.

I think hacking in a sense of having a problem and piecing together a solution is the context they were going for (much like hackernews) vs traditional escalation type hacking.
The US government spends more on health care than some other G7 nations, not including private insurance.

http://visual.ons.gov.uk/how-does-uk-healthcare-spending-com...

If you include both government spending and private insurance the US leads the G7 in spending on healthcare (but doesn't seem to get results that match the massive spending); if you only include government spending the US pays more than Canada, the UK, Italy, and the OECD average. It pays about the same as (a bit less than) France.

> If we implemented single-payer in the form of Medicare as it is now, the healthcare industry would quickly collapse.

This is because of the pisspoor state of US healthcare that insists on huge amounts of over testing, over diagnosis, and over treatment - causing excess harm at every step.

What I really wanted to know was what can I use C++ for as an individual developer. Maybe I should have been more explicit in my original question, but ultimately the answer is that there's nothing I can do with C++ that I couldn't do better with another language - short of joining a large dev team to build or maintain a large legacy codebase. However, I no longer care about my original question and am just as happy to see this community burn. So it goes.

Surprisingly not. How else would your intestinal biome be established unless bacteria passed unharmed through your stomach?

Also, there are lots of diseases such as E. coli infection, etc, that are food borne. Stomach acid doesn't seem to help all that much with those.

Less so than we expected; a metallic case definitely reduces the signal strength, but IIRC for the one case we tried placing, the small-loop antenna directly on the case still gets you a good-enough signal to break this (pretty basic) AES implementation. Someone could definitely do more research into that, though - we only did a one-off experiment.

Of course, everyone uses plastic nowadays... ;-)

Nice story, and great that Twilio worked out for you - but this really is the sort of thing that email alerts (or IM alerts, or IRC alerts) should also work fine for.

I would argue that the fact that you find SMS/phone calls a more urgent alert is a fault with your phone/communication setup - and twilio is an interesting hack around that.

But there really should be an easy way to make just as much ruckus from a simple email, based on topic/sender filtering... (hm, maybe there's a nice side project for an app in there...).
Thanks for the explanation. My guess is it takes effort to find a good niche/space to start a business. Many a times people never know if a space will be successful a few years later.
You can always not comply and then not sell your product in Russia. I don't see what the problem is.
The "barter myth" isn't really considered valid economic history anymore--and I'm not sure to what extent it ever was--but it's useful to explain the purpose of money in a society that cannot reasonably keep track of informal debt. When modern people in modern economies no longer have access to money (from economic collapse, or being imprisoned, among other things) they often resort to barter. So the barter myth may not explain the economic behavior of primitive tribes, but it might explain us.

As for Graeber's book, I'll excerpt from a comment I made a while ago: he is frequently wrong about easily verifiable facts in such a way that it supports his world view. There's no reason to trust a liar when he tries to tell you something you don't know about. One particularly remarkable Graeberism is where he describes the founding of Apple:

> Apple Computers is a famous example: it was founded by (mostly Republican) computer engineers who broke from IBM in Silicon Valley in the 1980s, forming little democratic circles of twenty to forty people with their laptops in each other's garages

but there are plenty others, an exhaustive list of which would be too long for this comment. He's also a somewhat unhinged and deeply horrible person. All this is discussed here by leftist economist Brad DeLong: http://delong.typepad.com/sdj/2013/04/david-graeber-april-fo....

Agreed, compound interest is something most people find hard to visualize. I understand your aim for annual spending, and that's totally within means for you (whatever you're comfortable with). With the right goals, numbers, and savings you can live mostly off of interest, and that will get you furthest in retirement.

In my experience, seeing and hearing of people's general retirement goals and savings; they simply don't have enough to not feel it when they're done.

A mindset like the OP or yours makes that stage in life much more enjoyable and worry-free.

Gotta say I'm looking forward to it too, even though I might not ever use it.

There are some things I disagree on with it, but most of those are orthogonal to the domain of which the language was meant to be applied, namely game programming. For that end, I can get behind those.

That said - the main things I don't like are the lack of exception handling, and no automatic memory management. I understand for game programming why these aren't going to be a part of the language. At the same time, I fear that without these, it may relegate the language to something of a niche language only used for game development and nothing else. While it is laudable to think that these features aren't needed, there is a reason they became available - and it mainly has to do with the fact that even "good programmers" aren't "perfect programmers"; we are all humans, not machines.

Features that make the language stand out, though, are the ideas of functions that run at compile time, which allow for a build system that is written in Jai and builds on compile (so you don't need to learn some other "language" just for building your world), the whole AOS/SOA mess that is made simple to implement with only one keyword (kinda neat!), plus the whole "uplift" of code from inner to global usage, with minimal changes, as it morphs from "lines of code" to "capture" to "anonymous function", etc - that's pretty powerful.

The inverted typed declaration syntax for variables and functions will take some getting used to, but that part is very minor. There's one part on this that I question - namely that variables are declared like:

name: type = value

...so:

foo: int = 0;

...but functions are defined as:

name := () -> return_type {}

ie:

bar := () -> float {}

I would have thought that a function would be defined as:

name: return_type = () {}

so:

baz: float = () {}

...thus more like the variable declarations (plus it would allow for turning a variable into a function easier, perhaps). There is probably something about compiler design, parsing, etc that I don't know that pre-empted things? That would be my first guess as to why this difference exists, but I would love to hear the actual reason from the author, if he reads this.

I'm not convinced that's a fair assumption. Everyone has reasons they'd like to make more money and some vague idea of what they'd do if they were more wealthy. Acknowledging that you want your business to be successful because x doesn't necessarily indicate that a decision making process is irrational or unsophisticated.

It's potentially relevant to people who have compromised immune systems or who are on immunosuppressants.
