We even have bespoke fonts, Rijksoverheid Serif and Rijksoverheid Sans: https://www.rijkshuisstijl.nl/basiselementen/lettertype

This image, however, seems to be a stock photo, the Dutch police logo, and white lettering. Given that it uses no less than four different fonts, I bet it was a quick paste job by someone from the cybercrime unit, not a professional graphic designer.

After some image searching, it turns out to be from a template: https://www.om.nl/publish/pages/51619/screenshot_zonder_brow...
Most of us were working on OB for free before OB1. If OB1 were to fail I think many of us would continue to work on OB either at another OB-based company or just back on our own.
The need for the former is likely to be encountered more often than need for the latter, at least by most people.
I'm not familiar with "bottom dollar" used in this way--could you help me out?
Obviously this article is full of self-modification for fairly whimsical reasons. It's easy to make fun of.

But this kind of problem is more serious and discouraging when you think about aging. You know cells in each organ are going to mutate, get protein aggregation, fibrosis, and so on. Instead of trying to figure out something to do about each of those things individually at the molecular level, it might seem simpler to just replace organs periodically. Every 20 years, just get a new heart, etc.

Nontrivial and risky, of course, but perhaps less so than the even less-developed alternatives. But as TFA points out, surgery is hard on the body, and the body likes to reject transplants, be they biological or mechanical. Integrating vasculature is hard, integrating nerves is REALLY hard.

So in short, I think even if these particular applications are frivolous, hopefully people who are doing this will help push forward knowledge on the general question of "how do you add/replace/integrate body parts safely and robustly". They are truly pioneers, in all senses of the term -- they're pushing forward the frontier at great personal risk.

OpenBazaar itself is not a for-profit project, and it predates the formation of the OB1 company by a year.

OB1 has a plan for monetization (I'm a co-founder!) but OpenBazaar itself is designed as a neutral trade protocol and network that doesn't rely on OB1 at all, other than the majority of developer power is provided by the company at the moment.
Apple tends to be pretty high end as of late. So they could chuck a decent GPU and a quad core CPU in there, raising the price, of course. I'd buy one. My mini is something like 5 years old at this point.
Are there actual facts to back up claims to productivity boosts or failures with a given paradigm across large numbers of programmers and organizations?

I'm not a big fan of Java or C++, but they have been used to write tons of code running software that's complex and in wide use.

Maybe a functional, non-mutable approach is better, but until it has a similar widespread use and enough time for people to complain about it and suggest new superior paradigms, I'm not sold on the truth of these claims.

It sounds more like preference and opinion than fact. Also, I can't help but wonder if it's the C++/Java model of OOP that's more than issue than OOP itself. Would the same complaints be made of Smalltalk? Personally, I prefer the OOP of Ruby than that of Java, and don't really see a problem with using it.

Just feeling productive doesn't mean you are productive and conversely not feeling productive doesn't mean you are not productive. How do you measure a software developer's productivity? It's very difficult. Reducing the build time might not seem very "productive" but the value it produces over a long time might be higher than any feature or clever code you'd write at this moment.

You can feel like you're producing great code but the proof is in the pudding. It might all need to be thrown away and rewritten.

Value also depends on other factors. Maybe if you spent more time with the junior in the next cube to ensure his piece turns out good the product would actually be successful. You wrote all that good code and the project was cancelled, what was your real productivity?

I go through periods where I don't feel like doing anything and then I go through periods where I have a burning desire to build stuff. Different ideas are in different phases in my mind, some are in long term hibernation, some are ready to execute.

EDIT: I know people who create a lot of code. Even good code. The problem is sometimes we didn't actually need that code at all. Very smart people, wrote a ton of good code, with no leverage. So step #1 in being "productive" is knowing where to put your efforts. I say software engineering is all about leverage, when you have leverage a little bit of code will move the world. With no leverage you can write all the code you want.
Ex-Twilio here too.. and worked for an SMS aggregator before that.

While working with one carrier is easy, working with 5, 10, or 100 is a horrible pain in the ass. In addition, you need a compelling reason to convince higher ups in your org to sink $texas-sized dollars into this.. long before you can send that first message.

Uber is a special case as they needed coverage in countries that Twilio didn't support. Further, they had a ridiculous pile of money. Since they had to stand up the architecture anyway, adding the "easy" countries made sense.
The "connector" has nothing to do with it compared to older cables imho. The wires in something like a DB9/PS2 cable were heavier grade, but the durability of the connector wasn't measurable better (at least not with a good USB-A cable). If you're continually breaking them, I recommend upgrading to braided cables. I abuse the heck out of them and still haven't had one fail that I can remember.

Yea, even the most basis research would tell you that you can't have an MRI with anything magnetic in your body. A microwave from an inch away has about a 1 Gauss magnetic field, where his implant "outright buzzed". And an MRI field is multiple Tesla, i.e., larger by 4 orders of magnitude.

E-commerce has added 178,000 jobs since 2002 while department stores have lost 448,000 in the same period according to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics. I haven't read the paper the article is reference but it appears to be very liberal with how the author wants to define Ecomm jobs.

https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2017/07/06/business/ecom...

The job parity isn't the same, I don't honestly believe the rhetoric of "other jobs will be created over time in new sectors." You can do so much more with less and it's only going to get worse for rural and suburban communities because it appears Ecomm is mostly growing in large metro areas.
Look, whenever you have rules and a large work force, you'll have people who lack common sense. Seems like the council did all the right things in their apology:

A council spokesman said: "We are very sorry that this has happened. We expect our enforcement officers to show common sense and to use their powers sensibly.
"This clearly did not happen.
"The fine will be cancelled immediately and we have contacted Mr Spicer and his daughter to apologise."
Are you hackers?
(A bit late to your comment, but I found it valuable:)

It's actually a classic bulshitting tactic by people who have no actual argument. Effectively, it's "well, we'll defer a choice until we can PROVE that decision X is PERFECT in EVERY way."

That's not to say: IF there's a real, quantifiable doubt, then by all means, continue to discuss (but preferably set time limits), but to do that you MUST set out precisely what the problems are, what potential solutions could (and couldn't) be, etc. etc. Not just vague "this feels wrong" objections.
Since you have merged PRs allowing use via Tor, you seem to be tacitly encouraging Open Bazaar to be used by those who want to hide their identity. In the wake of the recent darknet market closures, people have been saying that the drug trade might move to decentralized markets like this. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14828864

As facilitators of this technology, do you have an opinion on how it should be used? Are you concerned that the primary use case might be to acquire drugs? And are there any controls in place to encourage or discourage certain types of items from being bought and sold on this platform, or is it a complete free-for-all?
What does TOR add to this ? I would assume that all traffic between peers is encrypted, right ? Also, for physical goods, you anyway need an address. IP anonymity can be useful for digital goods and a layer of plausible deniability I guess.
This looks incredibly interesting, thank you! I have one question: how do you handle updates using IPFS? Say a seller updates the price of item X, then a user places an order while the seller is offline based on the older price (which is presumably cached in IPFS still)?
Apparently it is 1 way protection.

So the answer is that if you spend a transaction on Core, yes, it can be stolen on the BCC chain.

Your core chain coins aren't stolen, though.

But it is safe on the BCC chain. The only people who get screwed are the main chain people, and NOT the BCC chain supporters/users.

So it is actually the opposite of what the original comment was claiming. It is MORE safe to be on the BCC chain, and LESS safe on the main chain, because the protection is 1 way.

Also, apparent segwit is not going to be activated on it, so that means that main chain segwit transactions can be stolen.

This is actually really clever, and is borderline adversarial development.

What this means is that miners on the BCC chain will be able to steal coins from segwit transactions on the main chain, and thus this would strongly incentivize BCC mining, while screwing over segwit supporters.

The people who it is "unsafe" for is Core and Segwit supporters, lol!
> Comments from people who took just one Economics 101 class in college baselessly trashing the field making it to the top of the comment list disappoints me.

Yeah, as someone who actually has a degree in both computer science and economics, it's really embarrassing to see the level of discourse that pervades threads on economics.

It's like seeing an economics student who's taken half an introductory CS class argue that CS is "a fundamentally broken pseudoscience", because they just found an implementation of an O(log(n)) algorithm that was slower than an implementation of an O(n^2) algorithm.

It will probably be cheaper and easier to grow a new arm in a dish and surgically attach it rather than cybernetic alternatives - this has already been done with donor arms. I can't see the economics of fully synthetic prosthetic limbs ever being viable in the current era.

This is a difficult time to commit $1500 to a monitor. For that kind of money I would really want better support for new color standards.

But the standards are still settling, and you can actually end up worse off with better color if the stars are not aligned with your operating system and applications.
I'm glad to know that. It doesn't matter if it's the nvidia or ati version?
Niantec just posted an update[0]. These are the steps they will be taking:

All registered attendees will soon receive an email with instructions on how to receive a full refund for the cost of their ticket. These instructions will be sent to the email addresses associated with your Pokémon GO account.

All registered attendees will receive $100 in PokéCoins in their Pokémon GO account.

Special Pokémon, Eggs, and check-in PokéStops appearing during Pokémon GO Fest have had their range increased to a two mile radius surrounding Grant Park through Monday morning, July 24. These Pokémon and Eggs will only be visible to Pokémon GO Fest attendees who validated the QR code they received when they entered Pokémon GO Fest. Attendees who were unable to validate their QR code during the event can do so through the special PokéStops through Monday morning.

All registered attendees will have the Legendary Pokémon, Lugia, added to their account.

I'm not a big fan of Java or C++, but they have been used to write tons of code running software that's complex and in wide use.

If other languages were used, perhaps they would not need to be so complex and resource-consuming, but this is also why any "actual facts" which you're looking for are difficult to find: you'd need to essentially do the same project multiple times in different languages and perform a very highly controlled comparison, and there are numerous other confounding factors. Failures or successes alike can easily be spun into blaming the languages.

IMHO there is no one perfect paradigm for everything, and the only failure is in promoting one as panacea or trying to view all of programming in the same way. I think trying to classify languages or code as strictly OOP, procedural, functional, etc. and shunning "hybrids" or even basic common-sense pragmatism for dogmatic purity has had the greatest negative effect on productivity.
Replacing organs (for now) is a task that often involves immunosuppression. Perhaps it will be possible to work around this with techniques like gene therapy + xenotransplantation: http://diyhpl.us/wiki/transcripts/hgp-write/2016-05-10/trans...

In the mean time, there's also some work that can be done on the the anti-aging front by picking very simple mutations that cause delayed aging phenotypes (skip to "longevity" section): http://diyhpl.us/wiki/genetic-modifications/
Is that true? I know my son had to learn English and French in his urban German school, but my in laws out in the German countryside don't speak anything but German -- in fact there's hardly anyone in the village who understands anything other than German.

Even in tourist-soaked countries like France, good luck speaking anything but French out in the boondocks.
Keep in mind that OpenBazaar has been used for over a year now, and only a small minority of the trade has been illicit. Most people just want a platform where they can buy / sell in crypto and avoid marketplace fees.

We built OpenBazaar to be an agnostic protocol for trade online. It's like any other protocol in that it's neutral, and people can use it how they please. I don't like the idea of people using it for immoral things, but that's their decision.

I know linking to a reddit thread might be heresy here, but I talked about the more on our subreddit (I'm CC_EF_JTF):

When a vendor creates a listing it's created as an ipfs file. Vistors download and seed them and we've added broadcasting so when you update your store changes will be pushed out to willing nodes preemptively.
Apparently the game is a few megabytes per hour (this makes sense to me, the map isn't very detailed, a lot of other stuff is very cache-able).

So I think the experience in stadiums will translate okay. Of course it won't be the same, but it's tens of thousands of radios in high proximity.

Why do so many HN commenters think that movie is, like, a credible documentary?

(I don't necessarily mean you, obviously.)
I'm not one of the developers, who would be able to answer this definitively (you can join our slack if you like to ask). But I believe it's accomplished by using IPNS for some of the calls instead of IPFS, to ensure that the data is up to date.

It does mean that one of the benefits of using IPFS - the seeding of data - only works when there aren't frequent changes to a store. The idea is setting a store up and being able to go offline for a few days while others seed, then when you come back online and make changes, the new changes need to get re-seeded again.

Yes I can look up libertarian philosophy. No problem. What I can't look up is how this would work in the real world. Want safe drugs and devices? Who determines that? Somebody has done harm to another person. Who determines that?

Look at tobacco. Without government research we would probably still be at the same stage as climate research where the tobacco companies would claim the science is still unsettled. How can you get a court settlement against billion dollar company who can pay an unlimited number of lawyers and scientists?

I just think a lot of libertarians are intellectually lazy, blame everything on government and offer no practical solutions. There is a lot to improve in this world but dreaming of the ever elusive free market and evil government will do nothing.

Frankly, I don't see why vocabulary should be a metric for language learning success beyond a certain threshold. I try to avoid big dumb words.
I'd argue that it again depends on the region - as GP said in some places it's very common to speak multiple languages.

I'm English and live in Lithuania now, and many of my Lithuanian friends can speak perfectly good English without an 'accent'. It's also not uncommon to speak a third language like Russian or Polish, especially if the family has their roots in that country.

These languages do have some shared sounds, but are definatly not just dialects of each other.
I will check up on Firefox every couple of months to see if it's still slow. The moment at which I feel the performance matches my chrome experience, I'm going back.
Spoken languages are much more complex than programming ones, and the vocabularies are immense. You're talking about 200K+ words in English alone.
If you can find an IPTV product exists that supports your target language, then only allow your children to watch TV in that language. A lot of non-native English speakers report picking up a lot of vocabulary and culture through English TV, so hopefully this works in other languages and cultures as well.

Shoot you're right, it's kHz not Hz haha I'll update my comment.
You're talking more about the graphics than the actual AR experience. It was tied to the real world as mentioned in the sibling comment. I imagine they accumulated a lot of data from Ingress. More often than not, the gyms and pokemon hotspots were located at some point of interest and/or place that had heavy foot traffic, increasing the probability that you'd run into other players.

It was a global sensation for a reason and despite it's extensive flaws, it was one of the funnest gaming experiences I've ever had. Not because of what happened in the game, which admittedly was beyond terrible at every level from core gameplay to polish and UI (I've seen and worked on better better at 24 hr gamejams. I have no idea why Nintendo didn't step in and take over development after the craze happened) The gyms closest to me were located in a popular shopping mall that had no shortage of players. It led to a few new meatspace friends for me.

There was something meta-magical about seeing someone walking down the street glued to their phone while you're doing the same, both of you realizing that you're trying to catch some rare pokemon. Often enough, it led to some friendly social encounter, providing just a glimpse of what AR gaming could be.

It also inspired the dev community to make all sorts of apps and mods that addressed many of the games shortcomings.I left after Niantic dismissed the dev community because the game could've been so much more with the power of the crowd. Instead, Niantic preferred to keep the game shitty so that they could extract profits from the parents of 8 year olds.

I was doubly disappointed when it was revealed that the Switch, a mobile game console, would have no GPS chip. Nintendo could have pioneered AR gameplay like they did with 3D gaming. Maybe that's expecting too much from a company that doesn't even get online gameplay.

It only lasted two weeks, but that's the standard shelf life of most games that aren't endless grindfests.
