Brazilian here. Not sure if I'm part of the "developing country" category, but most major ISPs already give ipv6 for home users. I've been using ipv6 since a few years without even realizing until I entered the router and saw an ipv6 address along with an ipv4.

>Blockchain technology carries with it the possibility to change how we think about and use money.

That's the type of fluff I keep hearing coming from the bitcoin enthusiasts but I have yet to read a compelling argument about what it'll enable and how exactly.

"Bitcoin will kill the banks", "bitcoin will prevent the evil government from stealing your money", "bitcoin will cure cancer and polio". How it'll do any of that and why it's a good thing, that's left as an exercise to the reader.

In effect if we look at how bitcoin is effectively used today then the parent is fairly objective I think. There's speculation, more speculation, money laundering, black market stuff, gambling. Oh and did I mention speculation?

There aren't many legit use cases where bitcoin beats fiat nowadays, except maybe sending money to a foreign country (and even then it's not certain, what with the high fees and huge variation in the price of late).

I still don't understand how people expect it to become maistream. "It's like Visa, but if you make a mistake you may lose all your money with no hope of ever getting it back, it's not accepted everywhere and you have to wait for about an hour to get a confirmation. But hey, you can send money to Burundi super easily with it!"

I know, I know, there's SegWit coming, which might address some of these issues. In particular I hear that it'll cure the rabies too. To the moon!
I use Tcl/Tk from time to time and it always seems the easy choice when I need a simple GUI and also need to make an executable for Windows (which is trivial with Freewrap).

Some of the things I've written are: a simple standby order input app, a Forms/Reports compiler (sends file to server, waits for response and informs user), and a Ghostscript wrapper for merging lots of PDFs into one file.

See, there you have provided a push :) For anyone else reading, it doesn't need to be complicated or overbearing to still be a push. Think of it like mass-ejecting material from an asteroid on a collision course with Earth. It's a slow process, but the asteroid is still an asteroid, and it doesn't explode and destroy life on the planet.

Edit: It might crash into something else though...Good luck!

Nice! I was just looking for something similar to this for my minions. Looks like it assumes programming knowledge (beyond say Scratch) already, no?
That doesn't sound right re: Erlang; its everything-is-immutable model is supposed to avoid the need for a GIL. Erlang processes are also preemptive, so there's no possibility for a process to lock up the whole VM (unless it calls into a long-running NIF, but native code is always dangerous in a "crash BEAM if you don't get it right" kind of way).
Being recognized within your field and the field itself being widely recognized are two different things. It takes a while for the public at large to recognize the importance of their contributions.
> Boys can't truly be boys unless there are no girls.

I disagree. In fact, I think this kind of stuff is very harmful for development.

Imagine telling someone that they need "white-only" time, to unburden themselves from the special requirements imposed by hanging out in mixed company. It only serves to perpetuate out-sized notions of existing differences between genders.

Buy into my ICO. I don't know what it is yet but it's going to be awesome. You can give me the money now if you like - you want to get in early after all if you're going to make the big bucks off it.
Can you speak more to where your industry is now in adoption? If there were some "major event" would companies like yours be ready to jump ship into cryptos quickly or are they going to be too late?
I like this site: https://www.focusatwill.com/music/#player . My favorites are the Focus Spa and Einstein's Genius channels.
It's insidious.

There are routinely four or five posts on the front page about cryptos and they usually lack substance. It seems like an entire industry with a lack of morals, ignorant about law and too often tech, but with the smug self-assuredness that they are on the verge of changing everything as only 20 somethings and extremists possess.

It doesn't really bother me that people are dumb, but it's not cool when you see this constant shilling you speak of, looking to pull in another taker who doesn't understand the tech or the financial implications of what they are doing.

I made and lost more money in a weekend than I'd ever made in a year speculating on cryptos, and this was 3 years ago, can't imagine the community or the possible winnings now. After my initial investment had been lost, I felt that very real pull of putting in just a little more from this paycheck because you know tomorrow you can win everything back. I've never gambled but I was certain that's the pull gamblers feel and I knew at least for me there was no difference. It's funny to watch friends repeat the cycle with Ethereum and ICOs. "Hey, ether is up, just made a profit :)". Of course that was a month ago at the peak, wonder how their investment is doing now?

It's an industry full of bozos and con-artists. Something good might come out of it, but I'm not investing a dollar more into that when I know that same dollar is probably going to fuck somebody else over. Besides, what good is building a fortune out of something you didn't really earn? Cool, you won the lottery, anybody can do that.
I don't think you're being manipulative, but you are certainly oversimplifying the issue here. Of course everybody deserves a good job or good opportunities. But, just as such, everybody deserves happiness or kittens, or a good education. We strive for those things, generally, but we don't always hit the mark. When you make a statement like that, you completely ignore all of the other factors that matter. Ok, so somebody in India deserves a good tech job, does the American then move to India and take their place? Do they just lose their job and screw them? Do they get lucky and find another job? What if they loved that job? What if I want to move to Switzerland, do I deserve a good job there? What if they won't let me in? Do the have the right to do that? If they do, then aren't the Swiss preventing other people from these deserved jobs?

It's naive. Good intentions, but naive.
If I sent my child to a coding camp, and found out they were only taught crafts and camped outdoors, i'd be pretty upset.

Maybe the solutions is to send your daughter to a school/organization that teaches programming, not an organization that has always taught children crafts and outdoorsy things.
I'm not interested in talking about your claim. I'm talking about how you replied to someone else's claim.

> That claim is provably false. I explained why, using examples.

No you didn't. You gave some examples where the proposed policy would not have the side effect. You didn't show that it would never have the side effect.

> That cannot possibly be concluded from what I said.

"The exact opposite of this policy", in context, would be letting people off for false accusations. Why were you talking about "the idea that those people should be let off" if you agree that peteretep never suggested letting people off?
Stupid question, wouldn't it be possible to compile current Flash player into Javascript using Emscripten?

Implicit in this statement is that your view on this issue is the truth, and anyone who disagrees with you is ignorant. If you want to have a genuine discussion with people, that attitude does not invite dialogue. You're not going to change anyone's mind.
I have a few sites where this is effectively what happens. They have really bad security to where triggering a password change has them send me a new -password-, not just a link to reset my password. And then it doesn't force me to change the password when logging in.

Well, that actually works out (except that the password is too short to survive brute forcing), because I then log in with that, do my business, and move on. Next time, same thing happens, "forgot password".

Which presents a much better authentication flow to my mind. Nevermind passwords at all; just focus on whether they own a particular email account. If the email account gets pwned, the attacker can likely log in with them anyway (and if that's an issue you need 2-factor).

So rather than force a password at all, send them a verification email, and have that immediately give them a token. If/when the token expires, have the login window require their email address, and send them another link that, when clicked (in the next X amount of time) will log them in with another token.

I know for me that would mean -every- account I have is suddenly 2-factor (since my email account is), they all have strong security (since my email has a long, complicated, hard to brute force password that I keep only in my head; it's the only one like that), and I'd stop having to rely on a password manager.

Curious if there's any obvious flaws that I'm missing.
At the time it was all just "natural philosophy."
There was just a story in CBC News about one of these devices discovered in New Brunswick, Canada in the 50's; http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/new-brunswick/thing-in-the-woo...

There was a fair bit of cloak and dagger to recover the device at the time, nice to see the veil pierced a bit to get the history on it.
Mobiloitte: Leading ReactJS Application Development Company
TP-Link is the worst... their enterprise WAP line doesn't support IPv6 at all. I've had IPv6 working out of the box on every piece of network hardware I've had since 2009. When I bought a new access point recently it didn't even occur to me that I needed to include it on my checklist of necessary features. Nope, no support.
This. A long-weekend backpacking trip can easily cost between $20 and $100 per person, depending on: distance traveled and size of cars, tolls, number of days on the trail, whether you need perishables such as fuel for cooking and water filters (often weather and trail dependent), meals eaten on the road, trail passes or campground fees, rental fees if you're planning on floating a portion of the trip, etc. Up-front purchases (e.g., backpack, boots) need to be accounted for as well. Also really basic stuff like "do we have enough cash to pay for campsites along the way".

It's a great opportunity to teach basic accounting skills. Simple stuff: summing costs, figuring out which costs are shared by the group and which ones individuals should be responsible for, planning ahead for forms of payment. More advanced: amortization of big expenses across N years of trips (and related cash flow issues), parameterizing cost calculations over weather conditions and terrain, doing all of this in a spreadsheet so that when we do the trip next year we can change some values and know immediately how much it'll cost, etc.

An interesting solution could be to work at the SWF level instead of the Player level. Instead of rewriting, porting or locking down the Player, could it be possible to automatically translate SWF files to another format?

I am fairly certain that there was some work about this but I'm not sure if anything succeeded. Regarding the ActionScript part, a plausible solution would be to target Haxe with the OpenFl library. OpenFl is a Haxe library exposing the same API as Flash so you can use it to compile projects to the targets supported by Haxe (JS, C++, ...). Some advanced AS code could be tricky to translate, but using untyped sections and restricting it to JS it could maybe be possible?

It's a cost of living calculation. I earn $x,000 in my current low-COL area. To maintain an identical standard of living that comes out to $350k before factoring in California's high tax environment, and the increased federal taxes.

Don't try to spin San Francisco being the most expensive place to live in the country into me being bad with my money - I'm not. But when you make a high income in a low COL area, it means moving to any high COL area means you either take an effective pay cut in standard of living, or you need to earn an amount that is very unlikely.

Ask HN: Is anybody doing algo Forex trading?
I'm looking into doing some algo forex trading and am curious if there is anybody here who also participates in specifically forex algo trading.

For those who do, I have a few questions that aren't going to give away your algorithm.

1. How did you get your data to backtest? I'm using Oanda and they have historical data but it doesn't seem to work right (probably an issue on my side) but a csv dump would be ideal.

2. How long are your periods? I was thinking of going 5 to 15 minutes but don't know if that is too short.
For the life of me, I can't figure out why hackernews is still always talking about AWS. Every single time I've tried to look at it for a use case of mine it's the most expensive possible option. Cloud? Sure, I see the benefit and plan to go on the cloud (probably Azure, IBM or so). AWS? I don't get it.
Thank you. I have been wondering what the specific reason was that Banks still have Bitcoin at arms length. Odd that it is for such a nonsensical reason, no like the bank needs to know the ISP of everyone of their users when they log in.
> because of the BSD license, they aren't obligated either.

No free software license that I know of would obligate them to donate money to FreeBSD.

I know you didn’t say otherwise, but in license discussions a lot of people (particular GPL fans) suggest changing to a copyleft license would improve FreeBSD’s financial status, without anything to back it up.
Here's a question, I know next to nothing about IPv6, but I imagine a big part of the problem is migration of IPv4 (of course). So, for new projects.. I don't have this issue, right? What are my options to implement proper IPv6 support for my new apps right from the start?

You are definitively not alone in this. I know my ideas are kind of crazy, they can work but to validate the research at least one year would be needed. Another one to build a prototype, maybe more to create a commercial product. Which means the whole effort could be about 1M of USD or euro, whatever.

But nobody finances this. Maybe an investor reads this understands that AI is not the next social network or JS framework. It is the pinnacle of human invention and requires that amount of financing.
Neat! This seems like a very promising development.

There's nothing to see here.

Trivial NN implementations are a dime a dozen, and this one is no different. It's just a partial work in progress; it's not a 'Show HN'; it's just a few hundred lines of toy code.

...and that's the same feedback it got on /r/rust last week.

I don't see why it's turned up here now.

(Just as a baseline, at this point, if you can't use your NN implementation to at least do a basic classifier on MNIST, its probably not worth showing people)

Please correct me if I am wrong, but I believe that you need the source code to compile a program using Emscripten? Even if some components of the Player are open-sourced [1], the Player itself is still closed source.

As a scout I agreed to it vacuously. No God, no obligation, and it's not that hard to fulfill a vacuous obligation. I'm sure that's not what they meant, but I figured "be friendly" and "tell kids that homosexuals are unclean rapists" [1,2,3] were also obviously contradictory in spirit.

If they get political cop-outs from their pledges, then so do I.

[1] unclean: "We believe that homosexual conduct is inconsistent with the requirement in the Scout Oath that a Scout be morally straight and in the Scout Law that a Scout be clean in word and deed, and that homosexuals do not provide a desirable role model for Scouts.” https://www.law.cornell.edu/supct/html/99-699.ZO.html

> He's making a judgement on the value of aws using a use case that makes no sense to use aws,

I think the problem here is that a lot of people use AWS when there's no value in using AWS. It's commonly reached for as a first choice when it's often not a good option if you're looking to run lean.

AWS is extremely popular, but probably only efficient for a small percent of companies who have wildly variable traffic patterns.
I know exactly about the pull you are describing. I also invested a small amount (around £1500). When I lost about 1/3 of my initial investment, I felt a really strong urge to deposit more cash and try some risky trade to make my losses back.

I guess this is the feeling gamblers have. I managed to use my will power and cash out my remaining investment and just stay away from this as I understand now how it can become addictive just like gambling in casino.

I know people who didn't resist and threw in their whole life savings into crypto. And they have lost massive amounts of money. I'm sure there are some "lottery winners" that have become millionaires based on early investment in crypto but they are very small minority. Most people end up losing money.

You have obviously never tried to form a union. I have and I did it in a country where it is legal to do so. Our union took over 10 years of very tough struggle in addition to our normal paid work before the company felt enough pressure to sign a contract with us.

Now we finally have some protections against precarity that we didn't have before. But we could have saved ourselves a lot of hardship if the government had just guaranteed them to us. And we are privileged workers compared with most. Most people couldn't afford to take the risks we did or afford to put that much of their spare time into organising a union.

Your views and understanding of this issue are trash and clearly come from a place of never having to worry about your job or livelihood.
