I see it going in two different directions:

Blockchain: Useful where there are groups of actors, (people, countries, companies, ect,) of a large but limited size, incomplete trust, and limited exchanges. (For example, a group of 1000) A blockchain could be used to publish who owns an asset; as long as the blockchain technology can scale to the number of assets, number of owners, and number of transactions that occur. The actors need to have sufficient motivation to provide the computing power to run the blockchain; otherwise, it makes a lot more sense to just pay a private clearinghouse.

The problem with "blockchain" is that every computer in the network has to keep a complete copy of the ledger. Useful in the above examples, but this is also highly limiting to scalability, which leads to...

Blockchain-like: I think "blockchain" will lead to blockchain-like technologies where every computer doesn't have to keep an entire copy of the ledger. Instead, the graph of computers allows for searching publicly published knowledge, and participants are encouraged to preserve facts that are in their best interest. This allows for much higher scalability because computers in the network can merely ignore most transactions. If you are a small player in the network, you might pay a larger player to monitor the network and provide you with search.
SNAP is not an existing member of the S&P 500

They were already unqualified until now, because they lack positive earnings.

The concept sounds positive, though I wonder if/how it would work in real life.

For example, when an officer needs to go to the toilet. Er... if they can't turn off the camera that heads right into weird territory.

Imagine you're in a public toilet area (eg using a urinal), and a cop walks in needing to go as well. Thus your junk is now being filmed.

None of the information obtained by a spy agency can ever enter a court of law, and none of it should ever be "passed" or "shared" with ordinary law enforcement so they can act on it & parallel construct.
Are multiple classes of shares really that bad? Here in Germany a possible concept is the Vorzugsaktie (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preferred_stock#Germany) where you have no voting rights in exchange for a higher dividend than the normal stocks. If you're just a small investor with no desire to exercise voting rights anyway it's actually the better deal.
None have shown it to be a weak argument. None. If you could post your links so that HN can see the kind of pseudo-science the Bitcoin community has had to put up with, it would be much appreciated.

I loved how in Arrival, they build a statistical model to map between concepts in the two languages, ostensibly via a joint embedding space.

They don't elaborate on it in the movie, but I could totally see such ideas being explained with style (and tense background music) in future sci-fi films about AI. Make it as banal as possible.
Think this is a modified copy of google's list.
Yea I'm definitely going to try switching to Nightly based on the comments here. As well as adjusting some of the configuration. Thanks!
Yes.

There are a lot of languages like this.

I use a few of them in my research app, Ohayo (http://ohayo.computer).

If you open Ohayo and go to the console and type "app.toString()", you will see the declarative dump of the high level ohayo app.

You can build your own languages like mine (these are called ETNs) using the open source Tree Notation library:

I'm not a fan of leaving out useful features because bad developers don't RTFM. This is all hypothetical though. I don't personally need the feature, it was just an idea.

Well, no they aren't, because they're proposals.
Which makes it look like blockchain is a solution looking for a problem.

I still believe that problem will come up, and/or we'll see technologies that borrow concepts from blockchain without being true "blockchain."
How to Create a High-Impact Entrepreneurial Ecosystem
Switzerland is one of those high responsibility countries though, so you might not be so happy living there. In that, they require you to store your gun safely at home, they have the right to verify that, you have to own liability insurance if your weapon isn't just for militia reasons (and if it is, usually the bullets are stored somewhere else other than your home).

I'm all for gun ownership the Swiss way in America, but many pro-gun people would go nuts over the responsibility aspect. Same with everything else in Switzerland (a lot of enforced personal responsibility, e.g. you have to buy health insurance, where do you think Romney/Obama got Romney/ObamaCare from?). With rights should come responsibilities.
Block size increase will further centralize mining (as you mentioned, it makes orphaned blocks more likely, especially for smaller/less well-connected miners) and is a linearly scaling solution to an exponential (?) scaling problem.

It's not a problem, in my view.
The fact that RHEL recommends (recommended?) thin pool is malpractice. When deleting containers, the storage is never released. If you create lots of new containers, doing batch processing for instance, you will eventually exhaust the storage capacity even if you are extra careful to always garbage-collect the dead containers.

We switched to overlayfs and never looked back.

Here's Coinbase's original statement, which seems to be exactly what the grandparent comment was saying: https://twitter.com/coinbase/status/890986442674941953

"Coinbase does not intend to interact with the Bitcoin Cash blockchain."
Nice logo redesign, also https://instances.social/ is great to overcome this choice paralysis. I might try it, but I don't like twitter much and this seems like an open version of it, can anyone who uses it comment on the differences/similarities?
And Mark still has full control I believe because of their shares structure?
Many of us as has hung around the forum for some time, and followed the discussions as they went along. (If it's any consolation, most with only intellenctual interest and not based on any desire to wire money to some gung-ho Japanese corporation without proper business accounts, which is easy to regret now. But I disgress.) Satoshi posted under that username to mailing lists and forum. They contain everything and it's all open to search, but if you're not looking for something specific it might seem overwhelming.

The white paper is only the overview of the underlying system. You're not going to find anything about the marketplace (look that up, it's funny), payment systems or other applications of Bitcoin in there.

That's why I mentioned the wiki. Like all wikis it's bit rotten and outdated, but it contains a lot of good pointers to the source material, both code and discussions. The page about "Payment channels" isn't a bad first guess. It is too old to help you understand modern systems like Lightning, but it will contain pointers to several other payment channels that have been proposed. Including Nakamoto fast transactions, which as the name might suggest was suggested by Satoshi. It turned out to be a flawed design, but the underlying ideas are basically the same as today.

As an interesting side note, that design was based on replaceable transactions. Another popular thing to copy paste into Bitcoin discussions is some conspiracy why this was developed (and it was indeed proposed for removal in the altcoin chain released today), but here you can see it was actually in Bitcoin from the beginning and how it was supposed to work.

You will also note that many other developers were sceptical about payment channels and preferred instead to work on sidechains, ecash bonds, and other methods. It's not like Poon and Dryja worked in a vacuum, but their work looks like it could actually be useful. Personally I don't expect it to be the final design for payment channels, and there are still much work to do on other methods of zero-confirmation high-throughput payment networks for Bitcoin (such as the above mentioned).

There's still a tremendous amount of work on the technical side of Bitcoin almost every day. Much of it just isn't end user visible because people are still laying the ground work for things to come. We're still very early. This is probably also the reason why these types of work doesn't stir up so much discussion on the mailing list. People are not going to re-base their ongoing work to some other codebase just because someone on Twitter threw a tantrum.
You're all overthinking it. When you are on a boat and you enter deep water in the Aegean, the color does become very dark like thick red wine, different to the blue waters you see from the coast.
Yes but that's well-known and documented. Including it in Anaconda looks like an oversight though (a thinp deployment needs to be well-planned and you'd definitely want to read the docs).

There's a whole book-sized section about in the storage docs.

The docker-storage-setup utility, for example, sets it up correctly and enables automatic extension.
I wonder why that's the case? is it not well-maintained?

GNU is often used with Linux in order to comprise a full OS as defined by POSIX. It so happens that GNU can also be used by itself to do the same thing (by using GNU HURD and GNU MACH).

>GNU is not an operating system

Could you please elaborate on this position?

>but a collection of mostly commandline tools.

"Mostly" being the keyword, it also contains multiple implementations of different programming languages as well as their standard libraries, a kernel as well as a package manager. Also in the commandline tools it includes most (if not all) of the tools that are required by POSIX.

> If you look at Linux distributions, GNU ist just a relatively small part if you look at lines of code

I am unsure how this is relevant. In fact, I would argue that this is to be expected, especially when considering that the link checked everything in the main repository.
> Not really cool to be ambiguous about stealing $2000+ from your users.

Serious question: under what legal theory (not loose analogy) is the BCH corresponding to a wallet held by Coinbase property of Coinbase's users and not Coinbase?
Yeah having a tone-deaf CEO who used the company like a piggy bank and gave no direction certainly didn't help. He truly didn't understand what he had.

Of course. The Bitcoins are still mine, even i keep them in a coinbase wallet. (ownsership vs perssesion). Now every btc owner gets bcc. The owner is me, not coinbase. I gave the persession of by btc to coinbase to trade them eventually, not to give up ownership. And as the owner that never 1) gave away usufruct I'm entiled to all profits from them. See the share/divident analogy.

Most index funds do not actually hold the index. They look at the index as a guide of the types of stocks to buy, but the fund manager still makes buy/sell decisions on any stock they want including those not in the index.

Index funds are actively managed. They difference from traditional funds in that they hold their stocks much longer. A traditional active fund is always asking the question "what stocks will go up the most in the short term" - when they get this right they do very well, but when they get it wrong they pay a lot more transaction fees which cuts their gains significantly. Because an index fund is asking "which stocks are worth holding for a long time" they don't have the pressures to find the best short term performing stocks and so their transaction fees are much less.
no, but the impact of something like, reducing coal by 10% and increasing nuclear by 10% is. the advantage is a slight reduction in emmisions and a slight increase in the possibility of a severe nuclear disaster. that's certainly a debate to be had, but one side isn't "more rational" than the other.
I understand - thank you for sharing!

I find it interesting that the two split and then essentially float as different currencies at different rates. Surely, there will be some inter-relationship between them as well.
If someone dumped their trash on your lawn, you wouldn't be surprised or emotional in the least? Just sighing and saying "Tragedy of the commons..." doesn't seem like the best attitude for a social animal to have
True, and it doesn't exactly help that respected people like Elon Musk are cranking up a lot of irrational FUD for reasons known only to themselves.
Again - I don't trust the people who created the specifications; and I don't trust either the free implementors or the non-free ones, though my inclination would be to go with non-free if I were forced. As it is, I simply don't use services that rely on them.
I'm 100% willing to believe this is a universal problem and is just as bad as Android. I'd be FLOORED if Android apps were significantly smaller.
> a stock that gives you no profits

What stocks 'gives you profits'?

> actually no value what so ever other than the greater fool theory

Stock gives you partial (and qualified) ownership of the company, i.e. a claim on the company's assets. If Snap owns valuable assets then owning their stock is (indirect) ownership of those assets. No greater fool is required to give them value.

Most companies are run as 'going concerns' so a liquidation disbursement[0] to shareholders is probably (?) very unlikely, but its possibility must be the 'base value' of any stock. (Right?)

This has definitely always been a concern among certain users of the Package Control community. Since the Sublime Text python environment is run as the user, without a sandbox, it is possible a rogue package would upload all of your data somewhere.

So far we've operated under a model of requiring the end user trust the package developer, which isn't going to be the case 100% of the time. We are set up in such a way that the connection is required to be secure to prevent hijacking the connection and replacing packages with hacked versions. But if the package developer is choosing to add code, that is more of a policy issue than technology issue.

>> With your word game you are siding with bunch of religious extremist who are literally raping and pillaging, is that what you meant? They literally killing and raping people.

I used to have Jolla phone and there was no buttons on front face at all. You could get to home screen with swipe. I found it much more handful than Android and iOS home buttons (physical or virtual).

Edit: there was also tap-to-wake which is awesome feature as well. Happy to see it on iOS.
Interesting growth model by buying out developers of popular packages and add telemetry or the kite product.

You just kill all credibility on the way and you will be outlawed by maintainers etc.

We may be many but at certain bottlenecks ethics is still high and with OSS we are able to just fork packages.

As companies start to exploit developers trust we have to rethink the security model inside our IDE`s and probably move to a smartphone like sandbox model.
Ledger is offering a split tool in their hardware wallets:

https://blog.ledger.co/managing-the-bitcoin-cash-fork-7229dd...
No, the use in Anaconda is perfectly legitimate. Docker aside, I use it for automatic snapshots. That's a fairly useful and unique feature that you can't have in any other legit way (not counting zfs, and btrfs is deprecated). There is also the yum-snapshot plugin that relies on it. It's not even that complicated. Just throw a few gigs at metadata and forget about extensions. If I have 2TB hard drives, I don't care if you use 16 G for metadata, which is the max.

> QA is so much better. I had so many production breaking bugs with Ubuntu, especially on bare-metal.

Is it (Fedora) much better on the desktop? I dumped Win10 a couple months ago to go back to Ubuntu for the first time since PulseAudio broke everything horribly and I swore off Linux on the Desktop forever (haha), and I was shocked to find that the UIs of both Gnome and KDE have if anything more rough edges than when I last saw them as far as usability goes, performance (UI responsiveness mainly) is generally mediocre to poor, and that both are at least as unstable/buggy as before (KDE significantly worse than Gnome in that regard, though neither's good).

I'd consider jumping ship to an RPM-based distro for the first time since 2004 or so if the desktop experience is less... well, bad, frankly. Going back to Win10 isn't an option. What a garbage fire.
> I think that statement is a little disingenuous. There haven't been any attacks that target Etherium proper, only bugs in smart contracts riding on top of Eth.

This is a bit No True Scotsman. It's like "secured by math!" about Bitcoin - the ecosystem is rife with fraud and error.

So too with Ethereum. Given that smart contract functionality is literally Ethereum's unique selling point, you can't claim that is somehow not something that can be discussed as a problem with Ethereum. They broke the immutability guarantee for one bad smart contract, after all.

You really can't say "Ethereum is completely secure!! Except for everything that people actually use it for" without being more than a little disingenuous yourself.

This is something I've always been concerned about with the node/NPM environment. Any project, even the smallest ones, have hundreds of dependencies. All it takes is some small lines of rogue code, and your entire project is vulnerable. Especially in JS, where you can do network requests and various critical actions all in one line of code.
Everybody is starting to use encryption right now. That's because governments everywhere were caught spying on people, so modern software is written with a "encrypt by default" mindset.

This movement was triggered by spying. But it is also because encryption is mostly free nowadays, while a couple of decades ago it was almost too expensive to use anywhere. Thus you can also view the causality starting with technology improvement, and that all the encryption demand was there, latent, with the spying only perturbing things a little and unleashing a chain reaction.
The system that determines "rightness" is the system that makes your medicines work, your planes fly reliably, your bridges safe to drive over, and the computer and communications network work that allowed you to type that silly question into.
