Maybe, maybe not. Bitcoin might have been 200$ higher without the fork.

Merchants find they need to accept any popular currency their users demand. Being forked from the Bitcoin chain is beside the point.
Yes, but there are also large players clearly manipulating the markets on the various exchanges, unhindered by regulations. It is definitely more than just random movement.

Since 100% of the blocks mined during this period has been SegWit, I would say it's very likely that it gets activated!
I'm not sure what you mean by "red". But as I've said, people did move around. And really, "all Celts were white" is arguably far less likely than "some Celts were not white".

It seems like if the inside of the chimney column had a spiral shape, similar to a screw socket, the upward air pressure might alleviate some of the stress and make the column more structurally feasible. Granted, it would also dissipate some of the energy as heat.
"Modularity and repairability are a necessary sacrifice to build products that sleek."

This is too silly to even deserve a comprehensive retort. It's about small cost savings that add up over massive units sold and the money to be made on new units. Essentially you can be paid significantly more for making slightly worse items. It is wholly 100% about money.

I would love to hear more about these types of companies on HN.
So if you are bad with money and pay 3 times as much as your competitors customers why care about a proportionally smaller waste. Totally tracks.
If I understand correctly, "customizing the model" essentially adds new words to the vocabulary and adjusts the language model to change the probability of some phrases, but does not require any information about pronunciation, let alone audio samples.

But isn't having just the English text really error prone, especially when you are dealing with terms of art and proper names, that might even have roots in foreign languages? E.g. some people pronounce SQL as "sequel", and the English pronunciation of French words varies between "French pronunciation with English accent" and "French orthography interpreted as English orthography". (I'm guessing your model would tend towards the latter?)

So what I'm interested in is whether you have encountered examples of this during your testing, and whether you have some way to work around it (I would try phonemic transcriptions in addition to English); or whether this is not relevant for the use-cases you are trying to cover and the convenience of just using English text trumps the accuracy loss due to just using English text.
OData appeared before the GraphQL with the similar ideas.
In a functional language (like Scheme) strings are immutable, so they are fixed size.
Right now, the exchanges have only just allowed Bitcoin Cash deposits. I'm not aware of any merchant that accepts Bitcoin Cash. I believe that because of the massive price difference (purchasing power) between Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash, merchants would have to accept them just like merchants accept different currencies in Hong Kong (RMB, HKD, USD).
It had to reach an all-time high, otherwise there's no way there's going to possibly be any money to back Bitcoin Cash, since I'm pretty sure the people that forked it have no real assets to back up this currency otherwise.
In the book Change Agent by Daniel Suarez, the society of near-future was widely using projectors that beamed images directly into your eyes in lieu of physical screens. The concept has potential issues (some explored by the book, too), but I found it a very interesting idea.
Construction management is another similar field. People routinely have secretaries who print people's emails so they can write responses, or print drawings, Mark them up, then scan them back in. A YC startup net30.io is working on construction payment tracking.
Depending on what you're looking for, it might not be straightforward with the normal high level utilities, but most libraries also provide lower level functions for parsing and such.

If you just want to grab an object for a certain edge than that's easy. Routing the entire query differently based on something at the root would also be easy, but routing it based on something deeply nested might be trickier, but still not too tricky.
Realize that your opinion and ability to predict market actions is completely unfounded.

Whatever they're working on is like research. If it doesn't work, it doesn't work. If you tell them it won't work (and you lack any relevant experience), they don't have a reason to believe you and neither do you frankly.

That's how I deal with it. I say to myself, who am I to judge?
I've recently (within the past week or so) begun learning LaTeX for the purpose of typesetting my resume. It's actually been easier than I expected, and the result already looks much better than the Google-Docs-Exported-to-PDF that I had before.

> take a request ID, grep the logs, and get an entire story of what happened to that request. In reality, this rarely happens!

If that's the situation you find yourself in, I cannot praise centralized logging with a good frontend highly enough because I frequently find myself trying to figure out what happened to a request, and it's like night and day.

Needing to ssh anywhere and run grep against log files is functional if there's only one or a handful of VMs, but it gets complicated with a handful of machines, and even just SCP-ing the logs off becomes time consuming if there are a lot of machines. Then once the logs are off, 'grep' quickly becomes inadequate. (And I should know, I've built some truly horrible regexps to try and grep for dates because I didn't know any better.)

All that friction means that answering the original question; figuring out a detailed internal reason for why my customer received a 500 http status response error, is just too toilsome for all but the most (as you noted) doesn't happen in .

With centralized logging, I'm able to search for a request ID and see the logs, and this is a reality as often as I need, in order to debug complex multi-system issues.

Right, but you can get yourself a BCH wallet, and import the keys from your existing BTC wallet. Then convert BCH to BTC, if you like. Using shapeshift.io perhaps, which requires no account.
"if it tries to expand, it can only do so upwards."

There also can be an inversion inside the tube. For example, air might cool more on the shadow side of the tower, and start going down there.

I think it is 'obvious' that that will happen if you make the chimney wide enough (as a thought experiment, make it 2000 km wide, treat the outside of the chimney as the inside of a chimney with diameter of close to the circumference of the earth, or consider the case of a kilometer high wall on the equator with air intakes at the bottom. You argument that air must go up on both sides of it)

Question is whether the proposed chimney is wide enough for that to happen, and to what extent.
It doesn't matter too much if the DOJ doesn't knowingly frame people.

They come down hard and they come down heavy on the wrong people, ruining lives. They also pile ridiculous charges even on those who are guilty of minor crimes, threatening to bury them in an avalanche of charges unless they settle. They also seem to be really ignorant of technology, and show a deep suspicion of anything that they don't understand.

Whether this bullying is because they are out of their depth, have a culture of recklessness, or some other reason doesn't matter to those who end up in their crosshairs. If you are a bank fixing Libor, or money laundering (UBS), or are involved in any number of frauds in the financial crisis, you are treated with kid gloves. But if software or encryption is involved, then the sirens wail, SWAT teams gather, and the fear campaign begins.
Why is this surprising? Linked lists are easily extendable, whereas strings are fixed size...

The more that I think about banks the more I realize they are no longer relevant. Why do I need to pay a "bank" to keep my money that is simply stored as a digital record? Seems absurd once you stop and think about it.
There are some vaguely similar things if you think of Bitcoin as something more like store or credit card points or frequent flyer miles.

Sometimes those points give you the rights to some other associated company points without spending the original points.

Also worth noting is that sometimes these points are effectively unspendable because of availability of rewards etc. Just like how Bitcoin Cash is "worth" $700 (or whatever), but you can't actually exchange it for anything at that price.
Certainly the voice recognition is impressive.

All the regular things I asked Google Assistant were recognised almost perfectly. Andrew Ng talked about the difference between 95% accuracy and 97% accuracy being the massive difference. Google Assistant is at 95% [2], but feels very impressive already.

It felt like going back a decade when trying out the Firefox Voice Fill [0], where trying repeatedly to say the word you want doesn't work (I was trying to search for 'React Router Redirect', which it kept interpreting 'React' as 'Really').

However I think the personality of the assistants are lacking. It doesn't feel like there is any real interaction. Google assistant feels like little more than a better version of Voice Fill.

I'm waiting for things much along the lines of Ironman's JARVIS (or KITT). But what I really really want is a full blown version of Jeeves voiced by Stephen Fry. I'll have to settle for the TomTom Stephen Fry voice for now [1].

The number of people who think the leverage their account gives them - and he could have easily had 20x-50x leverage - means that is money under management is surprising.
Snap.SVG is great!
Spot on! Also, the suggestion of human language as a program, even across cultures, and therefore humans as computers and a viable platform for programming, runs largely in the face of the tradition from which this tome comes. The expression of a possibly ill-conceived program, written for purpose, then thrown away, nominally as a means to program others, at a minimum achieves communication .. not with the computer but with humans. Multicontextual shift there, but same philosophical plane. It's sort of an art project. You know, curiosity. The thing that got us all in to this computational mess. Why grow up? It's the weekend after all, and there are dimensions of programming far more exciting than optimizing analytical formality. :)
"I just looked at TransferWise, and it seems like the rate is about 0.7-2.5% depending on the pair of currencies."

"Who is going to sell you Bitcoins for Venezuelan Bolivars? "

No Bolivars involved. Venezuelan bitcoiners typically acquire BTC by selling services or products (sometimes internationally) while receiving payment in BTC.

When people want OpenOffice, I just give them LibreOffice. Non technical people can deal with that dissonance, after all, Office says something like "FILE untitled" on top, and not "Microsoft Office".

LibreOffice and the document foundation can't use the OpenOffice trademark, but that doesn't mean we can't. We should write a lot of articles pointing to LibreOffice and calling it The OpenOffice, and try to make LibreOffice the #1 search result for OpenOffice. Let's genericize the hell out of OpenOffice.

Trademarks should ideally serve to protect customers, so they get what they think they are buying. But this is one of the cases where the exclusive right to the trademark hurts customers.
The UD treebanks have made it very easy to offer lots POS and dependency parsing models under a CC-by-NC license. We'll be putting up more of these for download as spaCy 2 stabilises.

We're mostly worried about saying we "support" a language when we've just trained a tagger on a UD treebank, though. We like at least having the stop words and tokenizer exceptions filled in by a native speaker, so the usual flow has been that someone needs the functionality, and they make a pull request.

If you just need the UD model for say, Bulgarian, you can do:

python -m spacy train xx /path/to/output_model /path/to/bulgarian-train.conllu /path/to/bulgarian-dev.conllu --no-entities

We don't have a spacy.bg.Bulgarian language class yet, so you can either add one, or use the multi-language class, which usually works OK.

I don't understand what you are saying.

Governments don't charge money to change currency. That is done by private companies which charge a fee for it, in the same way blockchain exchanges charge a fee to trade between blockchain currencies.

I agree the currency exchange fees are higher than they should be, but... if you think that's a big need it isn't too hard to start a company to compete and lower the fees. That's what XE.com did for example.

I'm confused what you think a government should do?

This is not really limited to India - having a Stanford degree opens up a lot of doors in Silicon Valley.

The unfortunate truth is that people don't really know how to properly hire and identify talent, so we end up using signaling like education. Having a tier-1 degree doesn't always mean you're good - but statistically its a reasonable indicator. That doesn't mean its the only indicator but its one that is 'easy'.

I studied at IIT - a lot of my peers were brilliant but couldn't code their way out of a paper bag. Many have gone on to success, but not a lot in the tech industry on the technical side so I can see both sides of it.

For the record - we are actively hiring (details in profile) and we hardly look at your degree qualifications. Your Github profile is more interesting - and your in-person and phone interviews and work samples are generally much more informative than anything on paper.
I think self-driving cars might not change anything here unfortunately :( If we take silicon valley as an example, the wages going up has just driven rents and housing costs up. Essentially housing is a good with inelastic demand, so it gets priced more like a tax at "x% of income". Same seems to be true for restaurants, grocery stores - they just raise the prices to match the income level of an area.

> Just to be clear-- are you saying that OpenOffice correctly handles HiDPI in its GUI while LibreOffice does not?

It's probably upscaled but it works correctly.

> When you say "the controls are where they should be," do you mean that the icons in OpenOffice are both properly sized in the GUI window as well as having the correct hitboxes?

Yes.

> I'd love to see some screenshots of the two side-by-side if you have some.

Please check HiDPI bug list for screenshots. After a little bit of tweaking it turns out that disabling "Full OpenGL rendering" in settings fix these issues. Now LibreOffice looks and works just like AOO.

Because it's neither constructive nor fair. The comment is merely "true".

Yes, the released components do not cover a use case that they were not designed or intended to cover.

Yes, if your use case is exactly that, you will find these components less useful as you'll have to modify them.

Yet all of that is trite, and completely unfair criticism to wager against someone on the very first day of their components release.
A few things:

Bitcoin, being electronic, precisely helps with people being far away from bank branch offices.

Bitcoin SPV wallets run on $10 Android smartphones. No need for an "expensive computer".

"Bitcoin is way too volatile to be a reliable store of value" Still better than being unbanked/underbanked. Also, volatility has been decreasing: https://mobile.twitter.com/lsukernik/status/8649208737189519...

"How do they convert it into local money they can spend? " As Bitcoin adoption increases, there is less and less need to convert it. Today 160k+ merchants accept it. 8 years ago it was 0.

"* 7 transactions per second worldwide total means Bitcoin couldn’t cope with...*" This limit is obviously not set in stone and will increase one way or another: segwit, block size increase, payment channels, etc.
Merchants don't need to accept Bitcoin Cash any more than they need to accept any other altcoin (e.x. Litecoin)

1. vision (Elon musk , Walt Disney, Steve Jobs)

2. Calculated risk taking (Meg Whitman buying paypal in 2002, Zuckerberg buying Instagram in 2013 when everyone said it was too expensive ) In both instances, although there were risks, they were still relatively small compared to the parent company.

3. the business itself being a success. A good CEO can only do so much if the business is not viable or is struggling due to various macro factors outside of the CEO's control.

4. All-around good execution (Jeff Bezos comes to mind here)

No, the mass population don't know about anything open source etc.etc. and for tech savvy and geeks, few and mostly think that open source hurts economy and are not feasible.
While LibreOffice has been used by some, people are not aware on open source related projects. One might not recognise the difference between LibreOffice and AOO/OOo and MSO.
Open Source related communities are either small or nonexistent in most Asian countries. Some are due to more alarming real-world problems to deal with or basic human rights(dat big country) and civil rights are not even respected to begin with.
And no, actually it's the Chinese speaking country(Taiwan) that have far more recognition and awareness on Libre Office over other Asian countries and friends that I met and have online.
AOO/OOo has dwindled at Taiwan too, and sure, LibreOffice seems weird at first, but understanding the meaning behind it is enough to convince a user to pronounce it. We have other weird names too. Lots of weird names. //didn't proof read
