There's only literally 3 options. PLAIN/SSL/STARTTLS. I see one of XMPP's major problems that even people who liked, advocated, and worked (not extensively, but more than most I guess) with XMPP can't remember the name or details of a single XEP. In theory everything is compatible, in reality you're lucky if s2s works with the right crypto and you don't get gibberish because of OTR.

It's not exponential! Heck, the footnote is citing an article which correctly says the effect is quadratic in the first sentence.

I know this may be a lost cause in the general media, but to see this misuse of terms in this context is really frustrating.

Scala is not even remotely stagnant. Scala programmers are becoming stagnant, but scalac hasnt experienced any major growth slowdowns, Scala native is progressing quite a bit, ScalaJS is still a thing, and Dotty seems to at least be implementing some of that new DOT stuff.

I'm not defending how obnoxious it CAN be to write Scala, but say it's stagnant is just dishonest or misinformed. Or both.

What about the MANUFACTURERS of cigarettes? And while we're at it, what about junk food?

Take cigarettes. Even if you argue that people ought to be able to make and buy and smoke cigarettes, which I can agree with, I believe certain kinds of promoting cigarettes would be taking advantage of addicts? I have read that cigarette companies also add many additional compounds into cigarettes that make them more addictive.

Ask HN: Would you use a free Referral-marketing-as-a-service platform?
"Invite 1 user, get 2 months free".

This is all I wanted to integrate without writing extra referral program code, and thought there'd be a freemium service like HotJar/Mailgun/Mailchimp (think: start free, pay on scale) -- where you integrate by default in your front-end/tool stack.

After googling every new project, waiting years, and being on ProductHunt everyday, I'm not sure if this is coming.

There are a ton of referral-marketing-as-a-service solutions out there, but they seem to be either tailored for Enterprise or charge $50/month or campaign.

Curiously asking if anyone else is in the same boat, and would you use a free RMaaS (referral marketing)?
Or using a coin designed to be anonymous and private, like.. Monero. You would still probably be on camera buying a Visa gift card in a retail store. With timestamp.

>>But why not have an even safer tablesaw? Because I don't want to get complacent around one tool and have that feeling linger when I go use the next tool. They are all dangerous and all need to be treated with respect. Unless there is a way to make them all safe (there isn't), it doesn't make sense to me to have one safe one.

This argument is very irresponsible. Disclosure: I am a happy saw-stop owner who also has a large collection of POTENTIALLY very dangerous tools (gas-welding, milling machines, routers both CNC and otherwise, metal forming, etc).

First, every tool that is safer reduces your total risk. Saying that unless all tools are safe, none are, is nonsense.

Second, I know somebody that got caught in a drill press, and I can say from experience that you are very lucky that you only lost some hair. I find it odd that you argue against safety measures in the same paragraph where you note how you took a risk that could literally have lobotomized you.

Finally, safety measures aren't only about you. Does your wife ever use your tools? Is she OK with those risks? Do you have kids (I know a dude locally who got his hand into a planer when he was a _young_ child. He's surprisingly dextrous after being amputated around the first knuckle on every finger on his right hand). Not everybody understands the risks like you do, and it's hard for them to make an informed decisions when they learn to use those tools without some kind of industry guidance.

You're conflating things here; Moore's law is about how many transistors you can pack onto a chip, not performance. Moore's law is unsustainable due to laws of physics. Transistors are reaching size scales where quantum effects like tunneling dominate.

Think of a transistor as having two regions, separated by a channel. When the transistor is on, charge carriers flow through the channel between the regions. When off, charge carriers do not flow. But when we move to smaller and smaller length scales, the channel is so small that charge carriers will tunnel through and reach the other region. How will you distinguish on/off behavior now?

What about the problem? Can it be partially solved without a smartphone? Can it be partially solved by a smartphone using its browser? What smartphone systems actually solve the problem versus providing a basis for additional features?

For example, geolocation makes it easier to review a restaurant, but it is not necessary in order to do so. Access to the user's contacts makes it easier to send people messages, but it is not strictly necessary because typing the information in is an option.

Another way of looking at it is the difference between solving a problem (possibly using a smartphone) and writing an app. Writing an app has a lot of tail wagging the dog...getting through the review process is just part of it. The second part is getting people to notice the app...all apps on the app store are presented in a standardized format. That's great for Apple and Google. It's great for lousy apps because they look pretty much like good apps. It is terrible for any good app with a story to tell, because there is no way to tell that story.

My previous job was working for a .NET shop that powered tons of automotive search engines etc. across the web. We moved to more and more functional concepts using C# as the team learned about them and had a lot of success with them. At a certain point, we explored using F#, but the lack of type classes & HKTs meant we kept having to repeat ourselves.

We ended up choosing Scala for some new projects despite having an inferior IDE experience and being unable to use some of our other libraries. I don't think I can emphasize how much not having type classes and HKTs hurts productivity once you buy into the fully functional mindset. We were extremely productive in Scala because the language was a bit more powerful.

I would love to use F# again, but not until the language adds those features.
It does make a sort of sense - VCs in the bay area seem to congregate there because software companies can promise (if things go just right) stratospheric return rates. Those glitzy home-runs can fund a lot of flops, and the investors still win out.

If you want to make something physical, you can't hand-wave and make wild assumptions about growth rates and user acquisition and ARPUs. You have a Bill of Materials, distribution costs, a slim margin, and rapid competition from cheaper and often outright dangerous knock-offs with little recourse. Look what happened with hoverboards.

So in a market that is as jaw-droppingly risk averse as this, but people still want to grow their huge hoards of capital, the money takes the path of least resistance and follows the only available market that can theoretically produce an exponential growth curve more than once every few decades.

EDIT: I see that you've been down voted and I just want to make it clear that I didn't do that: I appreciate your polite question, especially in response to my insultingly phrased initial statement.

Ha, it was pretty late when I wrote that; the language is probably a little harsher than I would use right now.

I'm pretty deeply concerned by how rapidly my social and political circles have decided that the foundations of post-Enlightenment peaceful pluralistic society should be discarded in favor of short-term political wins.

Concepts like a free marketplace of ideas are pretty remarkable social technologies; spend five minutes reading the history of literally anywhere at literally any time and compare it to the functioning of a liberal society, and it should be obvious how valuable these norms are. For some reason, people now assume that peaceful, orderly transfers of power are somehow natural in human societies and don't take the sometimes-difficult work of adhering to these norms. It's a hugely childish, short-sighted approach to the world to throw away one of mankind's greatest achievements because you can't be bothered to understand why they're there.

Concepts like the marketplace of ideas don't have exceptions like "except for people who are wrong", because that presupposes the ability to judge your opponents' views as wrong (spoiler: everyone thinks their ideological opponents are wrong. that's what the word opponent means). This isn't a simplistically universal rule, as exceptions for things like directly advocating violence are generally accepted as part of the principle. But the minute you start stretching that to "but their views are _basically_ the same thing as advocating violence because [insert personal interpretation]", you're only pretending to be tolerant and you've opened the door for anybody to decide that anything is violence, as long as they can provide their own twisted interpretation of your views.

It's not fun to defend the right of people to march with Nazi flags, but there's no way to avoid doing so without eroding the norms that protect far more important views. It's a sick joke that the most regressive among us these days are the ones who pretend to care for the marginalized: history tells us exactly who the burden of suppressed speech falls on in the long run (hint: it's not those with power and influence).

Yes, it's very amusing that I deliberately put the shoe on the other foot. I even explicitly pointed out that I was doing it. Some people recognize their own bad behavior much more readily when it's reflected back to them. There, now you're all caught up.
Bitcoin's smart contracts are pretty much limited to multisig transactions, time-locked transactions, and transactions that unlock when given the input text that hashes to a certain value. The only state that Bitcoin transactions can "read" on the blockchain is whether their inputs are spent already (and they read that by failing if their inputs are already spent). Compared to Ethereum, Bitcoin only supports a couple special cases. Ethereum allows arbitrary smart contracts. With Ethereum, you could almost trivially reimplement Namecoin without needing a separately-mined blockchain. You could make a decentralized prediction market (Augur and Gnosis are two projects working on this) out of smart contracts on the Ethereum chain that include systems to reward people who supply correct real-world data to the on-chain Ethereum smart contracts. Both of those use-cases are far beyond the special cases that Bitcoin supports.

More "progress" from ProtonMail, while they still provide no way to export emails in bulk. They recommend you forward every individual email or print it.

> The interesting thing that I raised in the question above is that some people do think these divergent sex ratios are "a problem," well sort of, the interesting thing is that they think in only a narrow selection of occupations is this a problem, totally ignoring that there is nothing particularly unusual about a divergent sex ratio for a given job.

This is a misrepresentation of the "pro-diversity" argument. The vast majority of the "pro-diversity" posters do not think that every industry needs to have a 50/50 ratio. They don't even think the tech industry needs to have a 50/50 ratio. A better summary of the argument is this:

1. The tech industry has a tendency to be sexist towards women (which comes in many forms: whether they are subconscious cultural biases, or explicit sexual harassment, or sexist behaviors).

2. This tendency causes the gender ratio to be lower than what it would otherwise be in a "sexism free" tech industry.

3. We should work towards reducing these sexist tendencies because that is a worthy goal in and of itself.

4. If we succeed and reduce the sexism in the tech industry, the gender ratio will increase. It will not necessarily land at 50%, because there are other reasons that the gender gap exists.* But that is okay, because that was never the goal to begin with.

(Note that this is much different from saying "the gender gap is bad and is caused by sexism".)

> I don't like this constant grievance mongering worldview where everything is looked at through this lens of who has a "disadvantage" what is "problematic," why can't we just accept the world as it is?

Because the "world as it is" with regards to the tech industry tends to be sexist towards women, and we should work towards fixing that?

* Yes, I do think lack of interest is a valid reason for this. But it's not the only reason, and attempting to reduce such a complex issue into a single root cause is rather misguided.
Yes. If the company has too much corporate bullshit marketing talk.

Also, I've found that the more a company talks about how great their "culture" is, the shitty it is in actual practice.
I’d have to agree. “Understanding the math behind” is what drew me to the article and it was exactly as promised.
