This article ignores the power of Microsoft backing Angular in ASP.NET as a first class citizen with typescript. Most companies don't care about what stack they use, and if their Microsoft partnership agreement offers free Angular + TypeScript training? Most companies will go with Angular if they don't have specific performance needs.
K&R C had implied type of 'int' for both arguments and return value, and didn't list the types of arguments on the line specifying function name, argument names and return type:

bar(x,y,z)
short x;
int z;
{
return x+y+z;
}

baz(x,y,z)

}
Interesting concept, but there's only one paragraph explaining it with very little details after pages upon pages of handwaving theories about bitcoin and gold.
Thank you, that's a good and important point. It also has the angle that the CA can't accidentally "miss" anything, since the certificate is not constructed from client-supplied data (=> voila, we're at Langsec :)

To be fair, the PSP is involved quite intimately in the various features for securing VMs. With the Zen processors, it should in principle be possible to send an encrypted VM to a cloud provider and be certain that this is the VM that runs, and that the cloud provider has no way of readings its RAM (thanks to RAM encryption with a PSP-generated key).

External audits of those security properties are of course basically impossible, but it is true that the PSP enhances security for some use cases. AFAIK those are only data center use cases, though; ordinary users don't benefit.

It's true though that while the PSP as it is today doesn't hurt users, it could be turned into an anti-user artifact in the future. That's not really in AMD's interest, though.
If you scan a 5" CD album cover at 2400 DPI, you get a 12000x12000 image, from which you can probably render a reasonable poster, if you like.
> Skipping to a certain part of a song is much more difficult with CD's.

Why would you even play the CD? Just rip it once to your media center in a lossless format, and then put it back on the shelf and never touch it again unless you suffer a hard drive failure with no backup. On a media center, it is easy to skip to whatever part of the song you want. Plus, if you don't open the CD's jewel case again after that initial rip, then you won't have to worry about the jewel case breaking through mishandling.

Climate changes anyway, so why do anything about it? People die anyway, so who cares what causes AIDS?

Call it "climate science denialism" if you prefer. It's no different from AIDS denialism.

Thabo Mbeki, President of South Africa in 1999-2008, listened to the denialists' views about the AIDS outbreak. He had an AIDS advisory panel staffed with consensus critics -- just like Trump and Pruitt are doing. The estimated number of premature deaths due to Mbeki's counterproductive actions is around 300,000.

You might not be "conclusive", but a cogent argument like "I'm adding classes of bugs that don't exist otherwise but I get X for doing so" should be pretty straightforward. If it exists. My contention is that it doesn't, but I'm always willing to change my mind. I'm pretty emphatic about this because I've spent twenty years learning that every other approach in common practice will eventually screw you catastrophically.
There are climate scientists who are proponents of CAGW and who believe in creationism: http://www.christianpost.com/news/climate-change-evangelical...

Which part of the science do you find unconvincing? We have great ice core data going back 1000's of years, the greenhouse effect itself is universally agreed upon and understood, we have a measurable rise in global average temperature over the last 2 centuries, and we see that people are spewing greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Solar cycles, volcanoes, and other non-human sources have been refuted and disproved time and time again. only scientists paid to lobby on behalf of the source of warming disagree with the cause. What's missing that could ever convince you?
Yep, I was close to buying a BeagleBoard when the RPi was announced, and I went with the Pi instead. At the time, the BeagleBoard was the more powerful and entrenched option, and it was fine for experts, but it was a non-starter for beginners. That's the magic formula the RPi Foundation put together: Cheap (basically loss-leader), easy to understand and bootstrap, and fully supported by the creators.

I get that the Pi is looked down upon by some because of the closed nature of its GPU, but most of the other SBC/SoC manufacturers are also releasing closed source boards and some are even violating the GPL. I believe Bunnie Huang's Novena is the only 100% open source (hardware and software) dev board on the market today.
Which is exactly what should be happening! Imagine that the situation was reversed and that the scientific community at large concluded that humans weren't the cause of climate change. Wouldn't you like it if public policy changed after this group published their findings?

It's referring to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hype_cycle which is meant to describe the pattern of hype -> disillusionment -> eventual larger-scale adoption that often accompanies new technologies. Seems like a fair estimate that it's near that peak given that Bitcoin has broadly reaching excitement around it but few similarly broad use cases as of yet.

Nope; many CD players, like the first one I got in 1986, had only a two-digit led display for the track number -- there was no time display at all.

EDIT: It was a Fisher Studio Standard that looked like this, so I guess it did show an "index number" while scanning through a track.

> We don't really care about laypeople in this discussion

And that's why this discussion is pointless, because they are exactly the people who will be fooled by a flawed and untruthful study and are exactly the people who a) will suffer most due to climate change and b) are able to take action to stop it.
It is important to know the history of the FCC and what it does, time and time again, to understand their decisions.

>- CD's scratch and then skip easily

Only if you mishandle and abuse them. Doing that to vinyl records is going to make them sound lousy too. Both of them are fairly delicate.

>- CD's come in horrible plastic covers that break if you look at them wrong.

Those jewel boxes are easily replaced, because most of them are standard (the exceptions are weird ones, like the double-CD ones). The plastic boxes keep the booklets and artwork in pristine condition. On vinyl records, there's no plastic, only paper/cardboard, so the more you handle it, the more worn-down and beat-up it gets. There's no way to keep it mint-looking without simply never opening or handling it. With CDs, as long as you're careful handling them, they'll stay mint-looking indefinitely (as long as they aren't those stupid "recyclable" ones that are mostly cardboard without the jewel boxes).

The only advantage LPs have is that there's physically more space for artwork/notes. But that's not a big problem; in the CDs, it's just shrunk down to 1/4 its LP size. Get some reading glasses if you have problems seeing that.
From the article:

"Secure Virtualized Encyrption (SEV). SEV in many ways resembles the SME, but in this case, it enables owners to encrypt virtual machines, isolating them from each other, hypervisors, and hosting software. "

Sounds like the keys are managed by VMs can isolated from hypervisors/hosting software.
If it's anything like the bigcorps where some of my friends work, or even medium sized companies where I've worked in the past:

The patent clause is the React license probably isn't a problem. Probably. But in a conservative bigcorp, probably isn't good enough. If you're a decision maker, you want to be certain. You want this certainly because you have to cover your ass, because it's your ass that's on the line on the off chance it becomes a problem. Or even if you end up under a manager who dislikes you for some reason, or no reason at all - they might see the license, and question your judgement for exposing the company to potential liability. Or maybe they don't even dislike you, but decide that questioning you would be a good power play that would make them look good to their superiors.

So if you wanted to use React, you have to clear it with the legal department first. And if you're at the kind of bigcorp when you've ended up in this situation, you're at the kind of bigcorp where clearing something like this with legal is a bigger pain than it's worth. And so you just choose Angular, or Vue, or Aurelia. All of which will probably meet your needs.

But the project will still fail because the department you're making the app for gave you terrible specs, and you made what they asked for instead of what they actually needed.

So I'm not a lawyer, but that's a story about how that clause in the React license can be a problem even if it isn't a legal problem.
Naltrexone - the active ingredient in this $1000 reformulation of a generic drug - can also be injected as pellets under the skin for the same time-release effect.

It's been a while since I ran across this option. Here's a random site about this therapy:

http://www.naltrexpellet.com/

The active ingredient costs <$2, so Vivitrol is 90% price gouging.

Edit: IMHO, Naltrexone is a good prescription drug that actually helps people physiologically. People's pain receptors get overloaded; naltrexone helps to reset them. Naltrexone helps with alcoholism, and apparently with meth amphetamine [1] too.

[1] http://newsroom.ucla.edu/releases/ucla-researchers-identify-...

With that said, Naltrexone doesn't address the fundamental emotional problems that underlie most cases of addiction. So it doesn't do them a whole lot of good to force them to take it, without also helping them find stability, the lack of which probably led them to self-medicate in the first place.
One market is international peer-to-peer payments.

My US credit cards work well in most of the world if I want to buy from some kinds of business (ex. use a chip card to pay for gas, hotel, groceries, restaurant meals, etc. in Canada.)

If I want to send money to a bank account elsewhere in the world my credit union charges about $40, and most other banks charge about the same. This is not so bad if you need to move $100,000 but the fee is too much to move $100.

Bitcoin is not as fast as swiping a credit time but bitcoin and a wire transfer are on the same scale, and even if you pay a $5 miner's fee on a transaction that beats the wire transfer.
Something I've noticed that's lacking from most aggregators like Kayak and SkyScanner (my current fave), is the ability to increase the price of the ultra-budget carriers by adding their carry-on baggage fees and whatnot. I don't care about checked bag fees, but some of the carry-on fees are ridiculous ($60 per overhead item?). These budget carriers are cheating the system by looking like the cheapest option, when in reality one of the more expensive carriers is actually cheaper once you compare them apples-to-apples.
What a weird conclusion, that future -- and presumably better -- tech would be a nonstarter because current tech doesn't work for you.

Every transaction is added in the block in the order they happened. Every transaction has a timestamp associated with it.
How so? If you could demonstrate a natural process that accounted for the data, that would pretty well falsify the claim that human production of greenhouse gases is the leading cause of climate change.
If marking the blockchain (ledger) is not the same thing as transferring bitcoin, then there is no such thing as transferring bitcoin, because there are no actual 'coins' stored anywhere (digital or otherwise).
I remember the first time a CD player came to our area, the stereo store had a big showing. I was wondering why they had picked such a harsh system for the demo, but I found out later it was the CD player itself that didn't sound good.
If you are implying that any system with auto updates could swap in malicious software I'll buy that. But you pointed out iOS and Android specifically. Most (all?) OS have auto update features and by enabling them you open yourself up to this vector.
Things change so fast in web. The author asserts:

> Angular has already lost to React no matter how hard google tries to hide it

Hmmm... really? I've only been out of the web dev game for a couple of years. Angular was alive and well in 2015. I guess 2 years is ancient history in Web.

Alright so, React then?

> I vastly prefer Vue.js, since it feels like the next-generation...

Oh.

I wonder what its like to be a beginner web developer in 2017. It actually seems harder to pick a reliable, maintained, stable framework, than it is to actually develop the software on it.

Have you done much scraping in the past? There's normally a lot more to it when javascript is involved, captcha systems etc.

This is obviously helped recently by the relatively new headless modes for Chrome & Firefox, but before that it was using buggy headless implementations or Selenium. These weren't well suited to operations at scale.
You don't have to use a streaming service. Just buy MP3s, or buy CDs and rip to MP3/Ogg with an open-source ripper, and store the files on your computer and phone. Android has a built-in music player that plays Oggs just fine; no network connection needed.
I think the reality is that those things do not impact immediate-term profits the way environmental regulations do, so it won't help sway anyone who sides with Pruitt and the rest of the Trump administration on climate change.

It seems confirmed that if the Kaspersky files are detected, only first 10 sectors of PhysicalDrive0 are overwritten, and NO encryption of the $MFT is performed, so the system is recoverable:

>Case 2: If system is non-UEFI, installed with Kaspersky Antivirus, and in a state where boot completely fails

>The ransomware attempts to destroy the first 10 sectors of the \\\\.\\PhysicalDrive0 if Kaspersky Antivirus is found or if the MBR infection is unsuccessful. Thus, boot process hijack through malicious MBR hasn’t been completed so the MFT (Master File table) contents are intact and not encrypted by the threat. In this case, the partition table information is destroyed by the threat. Given that it stores critical information needed in the booting process, a traditional boot repair process may not work. Rebuilding the partition table may require consultation with an expert.

So the "Kaspersky branch" is much less destructive than the "normal" branch.

If not this, what do you think a Bitcoin transfer looks like?

I love the minimalistic design approach. I've incorporated it into my own designs.. usually using Craigslist as my major influence. No sidebars. No ads that disrupt the reader to the point of annoyance. And I try to make everything pretty easy to navigate.

I usually always get my sister to beta test. She knows enough about computers, but when it comes using computer programs, she can get lost sometimes. So if she questions something, I change it until she has no more questions.

I'm pretty sure the one who designed HN just had a preference for a minimalistic approach and everyone thought it was great, and it has stuck since then. No point in ever changing something that just works. And you can't really do much more beyond "minimalist" -- maybe "brutalist" but it isn't something that is favored by everyone.
Edited the comment to include verification almost simultaneously with your post :)

But yeah, obviously as the transaction value goes up the merchant will need to wait a few more seconds to counter doublespend attacks.

>You must submit it to the network

Not necessarily true, ideally the customer doesn't need internet connection and just transmits the signed transaction to the PoS.

>and the merchant must be reasonably confident that it will be accepted in a block as-is and that the block will not be orphaned

First of which can be verified very fast by a computer. I believe orphaned blocks are rare enough that they're mostly a non-issue.

I guess it's important to point out that in practice most Bitcoin ATMs I've used did 0-confirmation transactions up to 1000 euros after only a few second wait, so it's not like all bitcoin merchants suck.
physical mail through the post office still exists alongside e-mail.

Just like credit cards will exist alongside cryptocurrency. There already exists merchant processors like BitPay that allow for 0-conf transactions. I'm not saying that's ideal or the permanent solution, but because bitcoin/crypto is software, it will continue to be improved upon over time.
Transaction fees will keep increasing (because of demand) and we would have moved to renewable electricity by then (free electricity), therefore miners continuing mining.

That's my opinion.

The “React license” is https://github.com/facebook/react/blob/master/LICENSE
It is ust 3-clause BSD and doesn’t even include the word “patent”. In addition to the license, Facebook also provides a patent grant. Any company or organization could release code under 3-clause BSD and not bother with the additional patent grant. However, Facebook did bother with the additional patent grant, which seems to confuse people.
