Never liked the idea of karma myself - most people _do_ care about it (particularly in HN or reddit where low karma posts are hidden) so they will either not speak their mind or parrot some popular opinion to reap rewards. Combine that with a threading model that puts top posts at the top and you pretty much only see popular/echo chamber posts.

HN is a bit better because sometimes you get the rare, unpopular opinion that is well-researched and explained so it makes it to the top.

IMO the best format for discourse is a traditional imageboard/forum where all posts "weigh" the same. It has negatives (nested quotes, thread derailment that you can't hide) but I prefer it to the HN/reddit model.
I think a video would better communicate your product then a demo would. Why? Because people don't have time to figure out all of your features, give me a short one min introduction with important features. Now I'm not saying remove the demo, but the demo is for after they are interested and want to evaluate your claims.
I know my previous company has one blockchain project and AI based project planned. Don’t know about the AI project but the blockchain project will start sometime soon. They are a small company and not on anybody’s radar.
My current company is small to and not on anybody’s radar but stuff like that changes quickly.
Other than small companies and startups what else is there in Germany anyway? We have SAP and DATEV. I don’t think either of those is going to do anything with those technologies.
Mechanical is not really an improvement if the shape and layout is 40 year old.

I'm not sure. But as it turns out, metaphors are analogies, but used in a special way. Wikipedia has more info.
> I'm and old programmer and I've been arguing against business logic in SPs since SQL Server 6.5 and have been losing ever since. That's not an old/young argument.

> It's because vendors (in this case MS) recommend putting code in SPs. I suspect it has to do with lock-in.

If i recall correctly, back in the dark ages of Classic ASP and SQL Server 6.5, database stored procedures was the only feasible way of implementing a reasonably performing web application.
The apricot event
Call me when a single of these projects that raise a ton of money from ICOs actually delivers and becomes a success. So far we have seen a lot of no strings attached cash given away to people with just an idea who would never raise money from real investors. I think it's a ponzi scheme. As far as people selling ICO tokens for 10x price, only a small number of people can logically do that and it relies on influx of new buyers. Usually after listing of your token on exchange you get a fresh infusion of speculators and gamblers which allows the earliest investors to cash out but most people end up losing money.
Previously, we had a filter screening new altcoins (expletive deleted) in that you had to know enough about bitcoin to at least fork the repo, build it and make some modest changes to create a new namespace. We could see whether those coins are worth anything by looking to see if there was a novel PoW or other network changes, premine, etc.

Now, Counterparty and much moreso Ethereum have created an opportunity for anyone to mostly click through to a new asset/token and make claims about some abstract business idea. FOMO drives folks to invest in the pump-n-dump of the day. Very few of these have any real claim of value.

Please, tell your friends not to invest in these ludicrous scams.

Many owners of SME expressed a lot of distrust towards "cloud" offerings. Even they are somewhat aware of industrial espionage and the risks of giving away control of central company assets like that. Microsoft tries to appease these concerns by e.g. having European companies control European operations (e.g. Telekom Cloud = Azure run by DTAG), but it doesn't seem to work that well — folks still assume that US courts and agencies have full access.
The more I think about it, the more I believe this is indeed the fatal flaw in nearly all^ of the arguments against hiring experienced programmers. For any service I can think of where skill is needed, whether it be patching my roof, fixing my car, doing surgery on me, representing me in court, flying the airplane I'm on, I would rather pay more to have a greybeard doing it than have someone fresh out of training/college doing it. I'd guess most people are not even remotely concerned about "cognitive decline" in any of these scenarios. What makes programming different?

Ask HN: Interesting Technical issue (Internet/Network) that baffles me
So my Father-In-Law calls me first for any "tech" issues with his laptop etc and I take pride in that. I am not an expert in networking and a really interesting issue has come up.

He visits a banking website and when he enters the username/passwd on the login screen, he gets some type of a 500 error. I checked this on his laptop and replicated the issue. I checked the Chrome inspector and it does show hitting the servers of the bank so the connection is def. not dropping plus the error clearly is from their server.

Here is the "interesting" part about it. It ONLY happens when he tries to do it on HIS home network (verizon). If he tries any other network using the same laptop, this issue does not happen.

Ok so think we have narrowed the issue down to HIS network. Fine. I ask him to clear his browser cache, clear the DNS cache, reboot his Router and reboot his laptop. Still no change. He calls verizon and spends hours with them on phone. He goes to the bank's local office and they cannot tell him anything.

Would any network experts like to suggest something here ? This is not end of the world as he can clearly do this outside his home network but this is annoying and for me, it is curious.
Get out pen and paper instead of looking idly into space. It helps organize your thoughts and also makes you look occupied.

Would you people stop being so autistic and sarcastic about Chrome?

All I want is a clear explanation of what the benefit of this service is. I am asking because I clearly am missing whatever you people are assuming are the obvious benefits of this product. I only cited "Chrome" because it is a popular browser, not because I wanted to assert that it was a superior choice.

Jesus.
Thanks for the feedback, I think you're right so I've updated the deployment with bar charts.
Pasting a link with no words is a cheap reply. If you can't spend the time to actually formulate an argument, it's hardly worth the time to reply to you.

Your implication is that because they're the only buyer, sellers will be forced to fall into line. That's not applicable in this situation, for the very same reasons that the bill's proponents claim that a free market system doesn't work.

For the negotiation that you're implying to work, it has to involve the possibility that the potential buyer could say "no" and walk away. In this case, it's not going to happen. There's just no way the government can say no to, e.g., a revolutionary treatment for AIDS - the political constituencies simply won't let it happen.

So what we'll be left with is:

- Treatments for maladies involving well-organized constituencies will get disproportionately better coverage. So AIDS or breast cancer will have much better care than, say, colon cancer.

- The choices in these negotiations will be made by those hyperbolic "death panels". Yes, the GOP were exaggerating a lot, but when it comes down to it, somebody has to decide where finite resources will be spent. Somebody in the government is going to be deciding if your affliction is the one that gets left on the negotiating table in order to close the deal.
King & Union | Front-end developer | Washington, DC | ONSITE FULL-TIME

K&U is a pre-A-round security startup. We are trying to make the threat intelligence process run more smoothly and help organizations share threat data better. We're looking for a front-end developer to take over development of our applications UI (we're in-housing development of the app after contracting it out for about a year). The front-end is built with React/Microcosm/Material/Vis.js, and it talks to our backend using a mix of REST and WebSockets. Ideally, the person we're looking for would be comfortable doing both the React programming side of things as well as the HTML/CSS/layout work.

The job is based in the DC/Alexandria area, but we do a lot of working from home. Also, since we have an existing contracting relationship for development, we're very flexible about start dates. If you are at all interested, we encourage you to send us a note.

Please email a resume and some examples (or urls) of your work to aaron@kingandunion.com
BOOKING.COM ONSITE Full-time, relocation to Amsterdam, (H1B or its dutch equivalent anyway) is taken care of by the company.

General Interview Process -> Hackerrank test, call with the recruiter, phone interview, onsite interviews

I work at Booking.com, which is a world leader in travel accommodations, as a backend developer. I have only positive things to say about working here. The people are intelligent and helpful, interesting problems to solve and the work hours are unbelievably sane. The company is strongly data driven and very dynamic, which was one of its biggest charms for me. Amsterdam is not a bad place to be either :) The Dutch government also gives a tax break through the 30% ruling to non-dutch people.

The work environment is very international and everybody speaks fluent English. The relocation process is also very finely tuned through years of experience of doing this.
If you have any other questions about the company or the hiring process or you would like me to refer you, please feel free to send me an email at siddharthsarda01 at gmail.com (Email also in my profile at Hacker news).

Job titles are meaningless. When I say 20 year programmer, it's what you would call an architect, senior engineer, whatever. The programmer being someone who doesn't do any design is a foreign concept to me and should find another career. Any architect that doesn't write at least the skeleton code is the same. All levels of that career needs to involve design and implementation of that design.
Both sides in a contract are responsible for them acting according to laws, yes. (one-sided punishment would be unfair though, so I think in this case the requirement for proper follow-up and doing it better next time is good resolution, unless it caused actual damage)
I think you are confused. The whole point of software is to create something that didn't exist before, building the same software over and over again doesn't make any sense. I'm not talking about creativity in interpreting business rules, I'm talking about creativity in building software.
They can see the writing on the wall. For both consumers and business users, a PC with a full OS is a liability compared to a lightweight client machine and cloud services (either hosted in Azure or on-premises).

The wheel has circled back around to the early 1990s. Remember client-server? Only now, it's practical. The universal client (web browser) is all most users need. The nightmare of managing local installations of the client software is gone. Management of user PCs, drivers, updates, dealing with malware, is all going to be a thing of the past.
Are misleading metaphors the issue, or is it just that lots of the stories we tell are misleading? Strange article, it seems to negate itself at the end by pointing out that "declaring war" on things that aren't war is never true and only sometimes helpful.

> “Calories in, calories out” is more than a banal restatement of the Law of Conservation of Energy: it is a metaphor casting the metabolism as akin to a current account. Weight gain is then simply a matter of depositing more than you withdraw. But that ignores the role of hormones and appetite; differences in the way different foods are metabolised and the way the body reacts to prolonged deprivation by hoarding fat and slowing down. No wonder diets rarely work

Speaking of misleading stories, diets do work. People just don't stick to them because they're super difficult. We are hard-wired physiologically to crave food, and it can be near impossible socially to stick to a diet. It's not because something is wrong with the phrase "calories in, calories out". Which isn't even a metaphor, by the way, so why is this diatribe here? This specious argument is saying we should ignore the primary factor and instead worry about the margins. Person to person variance in caloric digestion is in the low percentages for almost everyone. Nearly everyone gets the same 230 calories from McDonalds French fries. Sure, someone might absorb a little more and get 245 and someone else might absorb a little less and get 215, but skipping them is an order of magnitude more effective for everyone.
My point is that gold has similar properties to Bitcoin. That is, there is limited supply, very limited government control and many people treat it as a store of value.

You said earlier that "Currencies are enforced and controlled by central, powerful authorities". There is no central authority for gold yet it has been a currency for thousands of years. You seem to accept the special status of gold by implying that a cryptocurrency could be effective as a currency if it was backed by gold. So my question is what makes gold so special? Why can't the current design of cryptocurrencies be just like gold, only more convenient?

>I've come around to the idea that the database is a better thing to put at the centre

I've seen systems that take this to the extreme of not allowing a single piece of logic into the domain. Domain objects were essentially data containers only. So, if you had a Person object with firstName and lastName properties that represented those DB columns, then even a getFullName() that concatenated the two was verboten.

Instead, all logic had to be in a service. This led to lots of duplication and a super-massive service layer in a system that was decidedly procedural, even if it was implemented in an OO-language.
Also, shoutout to BelTel in South Africa, my first foray into online world, including national chat, way back in 1985.
