"Enhancement" meaning tone-mapping? Are neural networks really required for that? Seems like a lot of heavy machinery for the resulting filter, but maybe tone-mapping standards have gone up.
I am perennially amazed at the ire of sellers who build businesses on someone else's platform, and then complain when the purveyor of said platform changes the rules. If you want to get to determine the rules of the game, you have to build your own playing field.
Yeah definitely, just depends whether people think the extra $4 a month is worth setting up a VPS for $5/mo and spending 5 mins installing PiHole on it. I guess there is no maintenance needed if you pay for it as a service. It's an interesting idea!
This is just the first step. The ultimate goal is driverless taxi fleets. Whether that's achievable ( technologically, legally, etc ) is another story.

If you're not in a tech business, and are therefore using other people's software, then you want to be on the same platform that they were during development which would have been years ago. If it's Linux, then it's something like RHEL.
I was able to get a remote job at my current employer without any prior remote experience. As long as you are a more senior developer, it's assumed that you have the self-discipline to do good work remotely.

We're currently hiring too if you have a background that fits. https://jobs.lever.co/sonatype

I think there are a few like Arista Networks, Facebook and Amazon. You might make 80k+ and spend 15k on housing and the general cost of living is still lower than SF. Just yesterday I meant some SF based founders come visit because of tax credit incentives, lower labour costs, COL, etc.

We've entered into this topsy turvy world where passive investors are activists and active investors are passive. It's lead to ridiculousless like the current situation and also Aramco's contortions to bend the arm of the LSE for a new listing structure.

It speaks to the incredible orthodoxy that's grown up around indexing over the last few years, much of it poorly thought out. After all, if you believe in the Efficient Market Hypothesis, then indexes pulling out of SNAP doesn't hurt SNAP, it only hurts index funds as activists will move to backfill demand. If you don't believe in EMH, then what are you doing buying index funds?

Index has become such a hot word recently that it's started to lose it's meaning. Before, a fund operated something like this:

1. You pick a basket of stocks

2. You buy those stocks

Now, because "passive" is so much hotter than "active", it becomes:

1. You pick a basket of stocks

2. You contract a 3rd party index provider to construct an "index" based on that basket

3. You buy that index

Voila, you're now "passive" rather than "active" but all you've done is stock picking with extra steps.

The markets have already responded with price signals and their signal is that voting really isn't that valuable. For all the high minded rhetoric of corporate governance, price is where the rubber hits the road and the results are pretty unambiguous.

The whole point of indexing was that I didn't have to make decisions and now I have to make all sorts of decisions over which index provider I pick and what growth I'm missing out on because of arbitrary exclusions to the index.

They should quit representing themselves as bank holding your coins/private keys, which is not what they are doing. They are issuing IOUs for a certain amount on a particular blockchain. It would be more honest to be explicit about this in their marketing and website copy, and would avoid this problem, but that's not sexy and doesn't get VC funding. I have no sympathy for their plight.
>Coinbase can do anything they want!

That's no how laws work. Not even remotely. Thankfully.

Consider you order somebody (X) to transport your pregnant cow. At the destination the cow arrives. It's not pregnant anymore and X refuses to give you the calf because... well, because he can do anything he wants.

That's theft.
We've asked you so many times not to post ideological flamebait and name-calling to HN, and you've kept doing it, so I've banned your account.

All: Multiple views are welcome on HN, but comments need to become more civil and substantive, not less, as the topic grows more divisive. We all know what online callout/shaming culture has become. The mandate of Hacker News requires that the community work together to avoid creating such a war zone here. Therefore, if you have a substantive point to make, make it thoughtfully, and otherwise please don't comment until you do.
This really doesn’t make sense, because literally anyone can create an altcoin and declare that the initial holders are as per Bitcoin block 486559, and then fork from there, thus transforming all Bitcoin holders into holders of this altcoin.

From the point of view of Bitcoin, Bitcoin didn’t split; someone made a copy, so the initial balances are inherited from the Bitcoin blockchain.
Sure, this is the only possible remedy for some things.

For example, Amazon delivered an item of mine to the wrong address. They refunded me even though I didn't return the item.

Coincidentally, all of the examples you mention have been a major focus for far more people within Mozilla than their experiments are, and improvements in these areas have really been noticeable if you've been using Firefox lately.

yet they have pervasive technology use including new and emerging technologies, so this is reductive.

humans have been doing this for ages, from bananas to cows... are they telling people to not eat bananas? this too seems reductive.
Yeah fair enough! Personally I wouldn't pay for a service like this as I have infrastructure at home that I run it on, and there are some privacy concerns around routing all my DNS traffic through a third party.
Amazon customer support has told me to discard items that've been defective, rather than ship them back, on multiple occasions. There's probably an internal policy about how many of these can be performed by a customer, but it's extremely convenient when they let you.
Yes, this is very consumer friendly on the surface. But remember that Amazon operates is retail arm with little or no profit margin, even with the benefits of scale keeping their costs low. Small businesses don't have the same benefits of scale, and will be forced to close down when their revenue drops below their costs as a result of too many returns.

And that is ultimately bad for consumers.
Hi! I just launched a project, which I have made. You can find it here https://sciencetone.com/

A brief explanation of what this project is about.

In this website people can share the latest studies, which they find interesting. There’s a voting system, so the most interesting submissions go to the top. On each submission people can comment and ask questions. Comments must be objective and based on other studies. Same with the replies to the comments and questions. So each submission can turn into an objective discussion on the subject.

Why it is useful?

I’m a sports science graduate, so I constantly follow the latest publications, related to wellness and training methodologies. Also I’m interested in computer science too. So I follow a lot of people on social media, who are experts in those two fields. They often share interesting findings. I hope that platform like this would allow those people to share studies & conclusions, what they find interesting, with some additional and more diverse audiences. Also those shared studies might generate more ideas and questions by attracting other people, who are interested in the same subject, and expand its value by participating in the discussion section, below the submission.

I still have a lot of features in my mind, which could improve the website. For now I published the core features to see if anyone is interested in the idea itself. I think a platform like that might be useful and make people a little bit more aware about the latest discoveries. I think right now a lot of exciting things are happening in the majority of science fields.

P.S. Sorry for the duplication. In the previous post I forgot to add "Show HN:". It wasn't my intention to post two times. It's not possible to delete previous post.
How many times can you do that before someone flags your account up for review of some sort?
I suspect this happens in London. I always take a "Gett" (fixed price black cab) if so, and it's usually the same price / cheaper and they know how to drive.
Surely you are not just going to throw out such an inflammatory statement without substantiating it, right?

Twice a year we do reviews. I have some KPIs I collect for my team, but most managers don't. We also have the standard HR matrix of 1-5 scaling, but I think it's actually quite effective at providing a framework.

Employees do self-assessments, then managers do assessments, then you meet for your review. The review is more about being on the same page + communicating future expectations.
It is outrageous, but it's not new. About 2 years ago I sold an item through the marketplace, shipped through Amazon, and at +30 days the buyer requested to return (my return policy stated no returns after 30 days). I ignored him, and then he filed a "Did not receive item" complaint with Amazon. They refunded him $250 and billed me $250. I fought it, using email, multiple phone calls (a trial in and of itself), showing them their own records of shipment, etc, the fact that the buyer had initially tried to return the item (and had sent messages to me saying he wanted to return it - implying that he had it).

I haven't used Amazon to buy or sell anything since. And you know what? It's great! I use Discogs (and my local music store!) for music, Alibris (alas, no good local book stores remain) for books, Newegg for electronics. I haven't yet found a great source for ordinary household goods online, but the local Home Depot/Costco/Target have me covered. When they get drone delivery and a good online experience, I'll be stoked.

In truth, I don't think Amazon can really compete within these niches. They get away with it because of an incredible focus on reducing transaction friction, and because they are usually "good enough" in so many categories. My worry is that Amazon will expand their monopoly, and then really start abusing it's customers, and they won't have anywhere to go.

I guess I'm just saying don't wait for them to try and screw you out of $250, give up Amazon for a month, and see how it goes! I think you'll be surprised.
I imagine the line gets drawn at a certain value. If Bitcoin Cash were trading at two cents a coin, this wouldn't be happening. Your fork would probably be at that end of things.
Decryption of common people's ideas/thoughts is only the first step of moderating them by the govt. in future! Terrorism is an easy & irrefutable excuse.
There's something I don't quite get (being a cryptocurrency newbie). Why can coinbase users not simply import their private key into some other wallet that supports both Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash?

My understanding is that Bitcoin Cash recognises the old Bitcoin blockchain as their own up to the point of the fork. So as of Aug 1st all Bitcoin balances are Bitcoin Cash balances as well. Or is that not how it works?
> Third, "Bitcoin Cash" is an altcoin, and anyone can create a similar fork from the Bitcoin blockchain, should Coinbase support them all??

Good luck creating a fork with currently 20% of the value of Bitcoin.
I bought some bitcoins on July 28th or so, and it took two hours for the transaction to appear on the blockchain.
There is also nothing preventing exchanges from dumping "your" BTC for cash from a pure technical standpoint.

Because technically, all you have is the promise of the exchange to transfer you the right amount of BTC out of your account whenever you request them, or the same market value in another (supported) crypto/fiat currency. This is not only a pinky-swear promise but one protected by some laws and contracts.

But it is very questionable to me if there is (or should be) any obligation for any exchange to pay you any amount of BCC that magically appeared overnight.
I think an argument against that is that 10 days is a pretty short deadline to act to prevent a potentially large financial loss. Especially if you were on vacation, not following the news about bitcoin, etc.

Coinbase doesn't have to support trading BCC, they can simply provide a withdrawal function so people can claim their BCC and move on with their lives. Their decision to ignore it entirely is going to get them sued and it's going to cost them.
Ah, sure, that makes sense.

A couple of things which mitigate that downside with babel though, at least for my setup & way of working:

(1)

Sourcemaps. For me, the only practical purpose of touching the transpiled code is debugging. For this purpose I find the sourcemaps output by babel gives me 1-1 mapping to my source anyway, pretty flawlessly with chrome dev tools. So, I have no issues with the messiness or non-messiness of the transpiled code.

(2)

With babel, your source is just JS. Eventually, at some glorious point in the future, we will have enough of those great features available natively in enough browsers that it's possible to turn babel transpilation off.

At that point, Flow has a massive ace up its sleeve in terms of being just an additional layer on top of JS - the build step will be incredibly fast and tiny. Typescript on the other hand will never be just JS. There will never be a total 1-1 mapping (TS is, by design philosophy, a superset of JS), and even if it gets really fast there will always be more of a transpilation step, always source mapping, etc. It will never go away.

So, TS feels like a nice packaged solution now, but will it look so attractive in 5 years? Or maybe a touch over engineered for a problem that doesn't really exist any more? In this sense, to me, Flow feels a bit more future-proof.
Why would someone route their traffic through your servers, opening themselves up to a whole slew of potential privacy issues, and pay you for it, to accomplish the same thing they could do on their own for the cost of a Raspberry pi?
> And while no one claims MSG has massive health benefits, it's been extremely well established that it's harmless. It's just a salt.

While it's true that MSG is well-studied and about as well-established as safe as can be, “It’s just a salt” is, well, not support for it’s safety; potassium cyanide is also just a salt, and no one (sane, at least) is going to argue that it is safe to ingest.
This is extremely worrisome. What is their endgame? Who are the people behind PIA, and what is their motivation? Sure, freenode is an important network to keep alive, but PIA seems to be spreading it's influence in a lot of places.
I'm not sure why it keeps getting flagged, but it seems to be removed quickly afterwards.

It actually only sends your DNS traffic, which turns a pretty url (like https://www.adfree.life) into an ugly IP (like 70.42.251.42) and then returns to your computer to make the actual call with all of the important stuff. It is not to be confused with a VPN, where your traffic could actually be logged. You can read more about it here http://computer.howstuffworks.com/dns.htm
Exchanges don't keep a real BTC wallet for each user. When one Coinbase user sends funds to another, the transaction is entirely virtual (which lets them avoid paying the network transaction fee).
I don't think that's a fair viewpoint, it's not realistic for most businesses to create international commerce powerhouses to sell their bespoke goods. Complaining is the only realistic leverage they have in this game.

When you get as big as Amazon it's reasonable to expect some concessions to the people who use your platform, just like if you get as big as GM your workers will want to unionize.

I am currently talking with Warren Mosler about implementing Unconditional Basic Income in local communities (Hi @sama! :)

Cartels is the main danger with unconditional basic income. If you make sure everyone can eat, you create a moral hazard, where the insured are not sensitive to price anymore. Having said that, we already have means-tested welfare and food stamps, and cartels of fruit stores don't spontaneously appear everywhere. However, they may appear in food deserts and other places where there aren't a lot of participants. Competition is the only factor I can think of to combat this. But in some areas with few participants, this collusion can ultimately happen.

And then of course there is this result: https://www.arxiv.org/abs/1201.3798v2

Does anyone here have constructive thoughts on how to overcome this problem? Price controls and collective bargaining via single payer is all I can think of besides competition.
I think a natural follow-up question is "Why Red Hat does not have engineers to support btrfs?" That is, if the lack of engineers is a symptom, what is the cause?

I'm pretty sure, had RH wanted they could either hire or assign engineers to maintain the btrfs code, take care of patches from upstream, etc. So why didn't that happen? I wonder what is your opinion on that.

I see a bunch of possibilities (not necessarily independent ones):

1) Politics. Perhaps RH wants to kill btrfs for some reason?

I see this as rather unlikely, as RH does not have a competing solution (unlike in the Jigsaw controversy, where they have incentives to kill it in favor of the JBoss module system).

2) Inability to hire enough engineers familiar with btrfs, or assign existing engineers.

Perhaps the number of engineers would be too high, increasing costs. Especially if not only to maintain the RHEL kernels, but to contribute to btrfs and move it forward.

Or maybe there's a pushback from the current filesystems team, where most people are xfs developers?

3) Incompatible development models.

If each release requires a rebase, perhaps supporting btrfs would require too much work / too many engineers, increasing costs? I wonder what Suse and others are doing differently, except for having in-house btrfs developers.

4) Lack of trust btrfs will get mature enough for RHEL soon.

It may work for certain deployments, but for RHEL customers that may not be sufficient. That probably requires a filesystem performing well for a wider range of workloads.

5) Lack of interest from paying RHEL customers.

Many of our customers have RHEL systems (or CentOS / Scientific Linux), and I don't remember a single one of them using btrfs or planning to do so. We only deal with database servers, which is a very narrow segment of the market, and fairly conservative one when it comes to filesystems.

But overall, if customers are not interested in a feature, it's merely a pragmatic business decision not to spend money on it.

6) Better alternatives available.

I'm not aware of one, although "ZFS on Linux" is getting much better.

So I tend to see this as a pragmatic business decision, based on customer interest in btrfs on RHEL vs. costs of supporting it.

> simply disregard rules of the road that are inconvenient for them.

There is a bit of a natural selection process to it.

If you're a cab driver, and you keep getting into accidents, you won't be a cab driver for long. If you take no risks and are constantly late, you won't be a cab driver for long. If you have a poor sense of direction, or spacial awareness when driving, you probably won't be a driver for very long.

After decades of this process, most professional cab drivers are just reckless enough to get away with it.

These Uber drivers haven't spent decades going through that process. Everyone's a newbie. The difference this time is that the risk isn't being undertaken by the company, it's being undertaken by the drivers themselves.
