Personally, I didn't want to invest the time in color schemes when I was trying out a new terminal... however many years later, I like the terminal, but never cared enough. Most of the colors that show up are fine I guess (except the helpful serial over lan controller that manages to set the background and the foreground to the same color :( )
So what if they do?
This is literally the point of the Model 3. They need 500,000+ cars on the road in order to move the dial on petroleum dependence. Other car makers need to copy Tesla because electric cars are better and cheaper to own, etc. We're not at that tipping point yet. A lot hinges on the Model 3 being a success.
Bitcoin seems quite straightforward and easy to understand, compared to our current banking system.

A lot of comments mention the difficulty of explaining what is bitcoin and how it works, and that mainstream people cannot get enough understanding to start using it.

What about the actual banking system? There are so much mainstream ignorance about our current banking system.

What does it even mean that I own $2000 at a bank? Ok I understand that I can withdraw this cash, but other than that it is a very abstract concept, built into the opaque IT system of my bank.

If I transfer money from bank A to bank B, what does that mean? Did the banks exchange an envelope of cash? Do mainstream users really understand the details of a bank transaction? I personal have no clue about the inner workings of this banking IT systems. Bitcoin seems very easy to grasp.

Understanding quantitative easing? In the bitcoin world this is transparent and easy to grasp. For my national currency I have no clue of how quantitative easing is done, by how much, etc.

The more I think of our national banking/currency systems, the more I believe bitcoin is way simpler to explain and understand.

First of all, this guy seems like he watched the last season of Silicon Valley and took it too seriously (perhaps due to having his firm name-dropped, who knows).

> As Levine puts it, “Think about a self-driving car, it’s effectively a data center on wheels, and a drone is a data center with wings and a robot is a data center with arms and legs and a [ship] is a floating data center…”

A self-driving car is not a datacentre. It will have a few computers, sure, but a datacentre is a distinct class of entity featuring hundreds of highly-available, enterprise grade computers; the self-driving cars that will ultimately succeed will have automotive grade machines, built to the lowest possible standard and price that meets quality and reliability requirements as defined by the DoT and the warranty department.

A drone is not a datacentre with wings. It has the least it can possibly have aboard, because it needs to use as little electricity as possible for computing so that most of it can be used for spinning motors. While some drones do have multicore CPUs and GPUs on board, if anything we'll likely see improvements in wireless that enable that kind of tech to be pushed back to base stations / controllers / phones, so as to free up more precious battery for flying.

Now, a ship I'll believe - you do need racks of servers on a cruise ship, for sure, especially given the fact that it's going to be away from a reliable network connection for ages at a time. However, it's not doing the same thing as the cloud; it's got to be reliable as hell with minimal IT staff on hand to deal with it, which means imaged machines running simple, basic things that can be trusted without having to have techs use expensive satellite data to fix it remotely.

While there's some logic to the circular nature of centralized vs. distributed communication, packaging this up and branding it as "edge computing" strikes me less as a true observation or prediction, and more as someone who's spent too much time thinking about things through a marketing lens.
I generally agree here, but 1. their buy/sell ACH fees are insane, 2. They're always the first to go down in those high panic button situations that have been happening every other week since may. FWIW, Kraken may require a wire, but my money always gets in the exchange for $5, and site is more reliable... the fees are 80% cheaper.

The problem is not that humidity will increase. The article explains that the human body's ability to dissipate heat into air that is both hot and humid decreases significantly around 35C.
Yes, that makes sense. Totally understand the use case - something we'll be working on.
What exactly is 'going mainstream' as it relates to digital coins? Seems like everyone draws the line differently.
I stated merely my personal experience. I recognize others have different experiences... usually because of Coinbase's fraud detection false positives. Use Coinbase for a while, building a history of buying or selling, and it will help.

Paradise lost and understandably they want it back.

It's not about values but about spending more money.
But if you want to spend 25% of money on lavish living, which is fine, instead of the industry level of 10%, you should have not gone public and took IPO money.

Yeah but in certain circles, those non-icing-heavy websites might actually signal greater authenticity. I LOVE college professor websites that are full of great technical info, but look like they've not been designed at all.

I used Arachnophilia (old native application, not the Java based one), Frontpage and Dreamweaver.

HTML 4 Transitional used to be very popular back in the 1999/2000. The XHTML movement was a weird hype, I tried it out but TinyMCE/WYSIWYG-editor spit out old HTML3 code at that time, so I tried XHTML 1 Transitional, but used .html extension as IE6 didn't support .xhtml. Anyway XHTML2 was a trainwreck, they were nuts to propose an completely incompatible syntax, a failed ideology and I switched back shortly after to HTML4 (2004). There was also a weird short hype around a new incompatibility Javascript version 4, short E4X. XML used to be everywhere, and some nuts tried to make XML part of JavaScript syntax - Mozilla and Adobe were into this crazy land. Thankfully it died, and there was never a JS4, but the JavaScript 5 strict was superb. CSS was okayish since IE5.5 and especially IE6 and MozillaSuite. Then there was the hype to not use tables but do everything with CSS divs. I quickly learned that a few tables and using CSS for everything else worked well in practice and gave one a responsive design long before it had a name. Loading data asynchronous used to be possible with XML on both IE56 and Firebird/earlyFirefox already in 2003, I found only two sites back then that had documentation for that obscure API back then, but it worked great - made a CD-ROM based elearning software written as one-page-app (HTML4, CSS and JS) with loading data from XML files and showing text, pictures and multimedia videos (Flash MX, before there was FLV format), that was two years before it became well know as AJAX (now XHR).

Are you sure it was 1992?

Wikipedia says that there were only 50 web servers in the world in January 1993, and my recollection is that were all at educational and research institutions. I don't think for example that any of the major computer companies, e.g., Microsoft or Apple, had web site that early. (They had internet connectivity, domain names, mail servers, ftp servers -- but back then, ftp servers did not have URLs.) Maybe one or 2 had web servers, but if they did, they were probably the personal projects of one or two employees.

Most of the world's web pages were about computers and the internet.

Thanks, the scroll wheel is a good reason, but I don't find the others compelling.

> It required a special port which couldn't be used for anything else, taking up extra space and making plugging your device in less convenient.

I don't find that a negative, the mouse is always connected and I've never once thought "I wish I could unplug the mouse so I can plug in the printer and charge my phone".

> It's so convenient by comparison to be able to plug a keyboard or mouse into whichever USB port is easiest and have it just work without special drivers.

For most people with a standard mouse and keyboard this was never an issue (except for the scroll wheel one you mentioned). For non-standard ones, it still has to install a driver doesn't it? I thought windows just installed it transparently.
What does "Reliability of 99.9999999999% (twelve 9s)" even mean? Obviously you have to exclude large classes of user-visible failures (network outage, account over quota) to achieve that. I don't think they're claiming less than 0.00000000001% chance of a zombie apocalypse/Mad Max/ex Machina/asteroid impact end-of-times situation. So just what failures are counted?

For comparison, public telephony systems aimed for five 9s. That was usually expressed as "20 minutes downtime over 40 years, combined hardware and software budget, for outages affecting more than 32 users." One software crash requiring human intervention would count for more than 20 minutes, so you were allowed <1 of these in 40 years system lifetime.
Crawl, walk, run. Market demand will change all that.
Works from english to portuguese in google, maybe because they have more data?
Considering this example alone, the logical difference between english/spanish and english/portuguese are pretty much the same: gender is made explicit in the pronoun in spanish/portuguese(primo/prima) in contrast with english that relies on an adjective(her).
About ambiguity, biases, well, what the "machine" learns are pretty much biases, meaning it's biased by the data it was trained on.
If you look at their transaction history with your service, it's not just their data, it's also yours and you have every right to look at it.

Now what's morally ambiguous is then deciding to reveal that data to others, and if you did it indiscriminately for all customers I'd be against it. But on a small scale, I don't think it's so wrong.

> Yup. Those aren’t spirals. They’re all concentric circles.

Except they are spirals. The black patches form the implication of a spiral - this is where your visual system picks out the spiral from.

If you were to say that there are technically no spirals in that image because they're not contiguous, then you could equally say that there are technically no circles either, only an arrangement of square boxes that is strongly suggestive of a circle.

Either way, it's a very powerful illusion.
Oh very cool. That's actually really legit and some of them are great projects/talented people. Patreon is definitely not for entertainment or the arts itself, but it does sort of have that vibe and the software's intuitive usage is built around content patronage instead of software patronage (understandably so). I wonder if patreon model can be disrupted for coding/software projects or if it's already too big and enough coders are happy with the current way it is.
Searching "Fentanyl vs morphine for acute pain" will give plenty of studies comparing the two. At a quick glance through a few of them, it appears the main differences are faster onset, shorter duration, lower incidence of side-effects (primarily nausea), and less histamine release.
Worked for me on the squared circle but took concentration on the spiral. It changed as I looked at it but not like before. Different ways of focusing on it made it go static vs moving.

What made you recommend that?
Interesting discussion there, thanks for linking!

RE "He gives almost no credit to human agency", I wonder what's the current state of that discussion. My current belief (as always, subject to change) is in technological determinism - i.e. available technology level shapes the "parameter space" of social and economical structures, and individual agency is a secondary factor. This seems to match my knowledge of history and history of science, as well as observations of current social dynamics. I'm not a scholar in the area though, so I don't know what's the best criticism of that view.
BJJ is really cool, trying to get back as soon as possible.
All of the above...
We don't use GitHub releases for our official packages. Instead (if you're on Linux) we publish Debian/RPM/Arch packages that update automatically through your system package manager. See the install instructions here: https://keybase.io/docs/the_app/install_linux
Nice! I just downloaded it here ... My suggestion is to include an option to list the hidden files (dot files) as well as some file sorting options in the next version of Exa. ;-)
Some apps use a GUI framework, and don't combine it with their app into a single file, which makes for a better comparison (e.g. Paltalk does this).

But four months is obviously a stall tactic when all of those other places made it available immediately.

Maybe a month for rush (but tested) development. Four months means they have other plans for the money and therefore I believe either they will revise that number or there will be a very large lawsuit. Something like criminal conversion or something.

They have around 7 million customers. If the average amount of bitcoin comes out to 0.5 bitcoin (could be more, could be less, who knows?) then that is 0.5 * 375 (current BCH price) * 7 million = around 1.3 billion USD. Maybe it averages out to quite a bit more. But they are saying they need to hold on to a billion dollars worth of assets until next year for 'safe keeping' or because its technically too hard? LOL.
It means they are holding $2000 of your money. And if you send it to another bank then it means they send it to them and now the other bank is holding your $2000. Nothing hard about that.

Bitcoin might be easy if you're a techie and interested in it. I am not interested in it and I barely even know where to start. What does it mean to mine stuff? Blockchain? What.. There is no way my parents would remotely get started with Bitcoins at this point. And I believe that once it becomes easy enough for mainstream, it will be as abstract as anything.
This reminds me of visualizations of neural network layers in visual tasks.

Yes, that is the case with everything. I don't know how the ranking of W3 schools is at the top.
> It's all zero-sum.

But this is the same as "conservation of energy". Everything is zero-sum, and yet we still do stuff.

> It doesn't create wealth.

Well I have two answers for this. One is simple:
these are financial products, and people need those. The other answer is a question: what is wealth ? Or, what is value? And these questions are like koans, they are both profound and also without solution. Wild price gyrations on exchanges going back hundreds of years are testament to this.
Reminds me of the camouflage on some spiders. I wonder if their markings invoke that illusion?
I prefer to use the packages provided by my OS (Arch) for anything security sensitive (like keybase!) rather than a binary package from the AUR.

The official arch package is stuck on 1.0.22 waiting for you to make a tag on github.
For a command that gets typed as often as 'ls', choosing 'exa', which is typed with one hand only, even worse, with a repeated finger, is kind of a poor choice.
That's not the point... the point is, these platforms get large & controlling, and become the only game in town (by their nature, network effects and all), and people will get sick of playing the game.

Decentralized uncensorable platforms will take their place, funded by currency that cannot by blocked.
Good advice.

You feel it, it's almost there... and no. It's gone. The spiral won.

So close !
Personally, I learned to think of scientific ideas along two axis - precision and usefulness. To reuse your professor's example, in so far as you accept that Einstein and Newton were really talking about the same concept of "mass", general relativity is much more precise than newtonian mechanics - but newtonian mechanics is much more useful than relativity, is the sense that it's precise enough for 99.9% of applications (including sending spaceships around the Solar System) while also being significantly easier to use.
The next bullet point is availability, so presumably they mean reliability in the sense that you won't permanently lose data?
> See Los Angeles.

See what? Los Angeles -- whether you slice by city, county, metropolitan statistical area, or combined statistical area -- ranks nowhere near the top of per capita household vehicle miles in the United States. In fact, the Los Angeles-Long Beach combined statistical area has the second-lowest household fuel consumption in the country, just behind New York-Newark (at least according to a poorly-sourced Forbes article [1]).

Unfortunately, publicly available fuel consumption data split by city/county/Census area is much harder to find. But what I have found suggests that Forbes's ranking of Los Angeles relative to other US metro areas is probably accurate. The National Household Travel Survey [2] is likely the best source of raw data for investigating this question.

I feel like they mean resiliency, not reliability. I could see 12x 9's resiliency with them factoring it based on x amount of data stored for y days. There's 0 chance they could claim that level of reliability for the reasons you mentioned among others.
I made happy returns (poor-student-sized and regrettably non-leveraged) on three occasions simply by monitoring when exposure would go up and timing the end of hype (e.g. when the first senate hearing on BTC). stats.grok.se, forums and HN were good informers. Then I quit. I wish I knew the full answer to your question.

Dissecting Snapdeal 2.0: Can it succeed where Ebay failed?
Horrible idea. I'm on holiday at the moment, didn't bring my headphones - don't often use them, but on flight and occasionally lazing by the pool would have liked to listen to my audiobook.

I decided to get a new cheap pair when I was shopping, remembering just in time that my phone model doesn't have standard audio equipment. So from what was available instead of a simple €5 purchase, I would be on the hook for another little adapter cable priced at €10 or €39 for another set of Apple's headphones with their bespoke charging port.

It's not "brave" it's shit and annoying. Also travelling with Bluetooth speakers, which use standard cables, means I need to carry multiple cables around because of proprietary charging port that they continue to be able to get away with.

I like my phone, does what I need, but not being able to pick up a cheap pair of headphones on holiday, yeah thanks Apple. Shit decision. Google... please read this real world experience, don't make your equipment annoying too.
[The garbage-collector] goes around doing whatever it feels
like doing; making a copy here; moving something around
there; it’s a real pain from a security standpoint.

Just a nit, but Go's GC isn't a copying collector, and is unlikely to ever be. (Meta nit: whenever I read discussions
of Go's GC, especially criticisms, I've noticed that people
often conflate a copying collector with a generational collector. Not all generational collectors are copying collectors. For example, Lua 5.2 had a generational GC, but Lua doesn't do copying. And you can have a copying collector without a generational GC. But the so-called bump allocator optimization that is often implemented along with a generational GC requires a copying collector.)

we decided to go with ... mmap(2) .. since the system-call
is natively implemented, and that allowed us to avoid a
dirty cgo solution.

I don't write Go code, but looking at the documentation it looks like you could have used syscall.RawSyscall if Go hadn't already provided a wrapper to mmap. The wrapper might even internally use RawSyscall.

The interesting point to think about is not restrictions on telling lies to incite panic & possible injury...

but rather, restrictions on telling the truth, such as outlawing shouting "Fire!" in a crowded theater when there's actually a fire.

This is what defining "right think" means, where you have to confine your discourse to what is socially acceptable, whether or not what you're saying is true.

This is the real problem, and vague corporate or government policies outlawing "hate speech" are vague, subjective, Orwellian, and don't event attempt to assess truthiness or falsiness.. they appeal to hurt feelings. Which are always and forever in the eye of the beholder. A hecklers veto to ideas one disagrees with.

It's beyond scary that so many smart people here and around the country & world are perfectly fine to go down this road...

That's partly true, but it also uses a build script that doesn't include the KBFS or GUI bits, which isn't directly under our control. At some point I'll work with the Arch maintainer to figure out what we want the official packages to be, but for now the easier control we have over the AUR package has been convenient. (It's shocking how much easier it was to get our Arch packaging working, compared to deb/rpm.)

Security-wise, you could verify our signature on the .deb package that aur/keybase-bin is downloading. The Linux install instructions describe where to find the sigs.
