I think it is worse (and better) than it seems when you assume that your competition is other men.

It's not that you have to prove yourself better than other men; you have to prove that being with you is better than being alone.

Harder than that, you don't only have to prove yourself, you have to continue to remain better than being alone.

(I mean, I'm typing this from a male perspective, because that's what I know, and because I think that men have always had more freedom to 'opt out' than women, meaning that women having this power to 'opt out' is a relatively new phenomena, but I imagine that this cuts both ways)

Emancipation, I think, is a social good... and yes, that means we all will spend more time alone, but being alone is dramatically better, in my experience, than being in a bad relationship, even if it's dramatically worse than being in a good relationship. But maintaining a relationship is difficult, and now that most people have the option of saying "I'd rather be alone" many of them do, at least some of the time.
Recognizing domestic violence and spousal rape as outside the bounds of acceptable behavior and/or grounds for redress is also a new development, in the grand scheme of things.

I recently discussed this very question with a colleague, and we both agreed that it probably would be a "wake up call". Currently, we really lack quality heath data, and so the loudest pundit or charlatan is who people listen to. And what they mostly present are anecdotes. Having high-fidelity health data about me as an individual and as part of various cohort study groups would allow my doctor to say "This is you now. These are the various future you's if you pursue these different lifestyles".
IEEE Spectrum has a report on successful GPS spoofs (including of a ship), as well as speculation about Iran's capabilities (in capturing an RQ-170 as well as a patrol boat). It's great survey material. [1]

Resist the urge to be "pure", "perfect", and thus arrive at "beautiful" code. Instead code, ship, & sell. Be free from the burden of "best" practices. Then, when you can afford the inside coffee bar, by all means tell the rest of us what a beautiful framework you're "now" using.

So, start with what you know. Make something amazing to use even with the inefficient and uncool tools of the trade.

Your point is well written but you seem to be referencing some past golden age of inter-person cooperation before "big government" got involved. I'm not saying your wrong but anytime our thoughts lead us to imagine the past as a place wth less problems, it's a good clue we're maybe thinking about the situation less well than we could.

In your mind, when you imagine the 1920's, or the 1960's, do you think that there were incredibly high levels of
cooperation between people? I don't want to put a huge burden of evidence of you, but am curious.

Also if anyone gets a chance please look into the book "The Way We Never Were" by Stephanie Coontz. Good examination of American family trends and activities over time.

That must be why citizens of other countries like Australia and the UK are awfully uncooperative and uncharitable, right? /s

I also hate this idea that helping the poor should be left to personal whim. "Programs that solve problems" sounds more effective and egalitarian than "people helping people" if you ask me.

It's hard to believe that another collision would happen so soon after the Fitzgerald incident.

I’m a student launching my first app, need advice on how to launch / market
Hi guys,
I’m working on an app called BubblyPlanet, it’s an social augmented reality app that’s kind of like Twitter meets Google StreetView.

I have no idea how to market this to people short of showing it to my friends and family.

I’ve made a demo (https://youtube.com/watch?v=3XIXa1gQkbQ) and sent it to a few VCs and a Twitter account covering AR related stuff, but have heard no responses.

I’ve made a website (http://BubblyPlanet.com) to gather beta sign ups and it’s gotten almost no responses.

I’m very newb to marketing so I’m not quite sure what the right questions I should ask.

I guess I’d love it if people find use out of it, as I have, but how do I get the word out?

(I have almost no budget, as I’m mostly working on student loans)

Do you have any evidence do suggest this is actually a leading cause of divorce, as opposed to other things like personality clashes, financial stress, etc.

Everything I've read seems to suggest that incompatible personalities and finances are the main reasons people in our society split up - which would seem to debunk your theory.
Why stop there? Just make it 100$ and hour and everyone will be rich!

This argument -- "well, if you think a little increase in the minimum wage is good, then you must think any increase in the minimum wage is good, or you're not being consistent!" -- gets trotted out by somebody on HN every time the subject comes up. And c'mon. If I believe that San Francisco's minimum wage hikes to $14 and $15 an hour are not going to cause undue economic collapse here, that does not somehow obligate me to believe "hey, if that works, we can raise the minimum wage to ELEVEN BILLIONTY DOLLARS AN HOUR with minimal impact, too!" Real life is full of examples, from salt in your soup to water behind a dam, where we understand that's good to increase the level to a point, but only to a point.

Oh wait, arbitrary wage increases don't really work out in real life.

"Most past research has found that modest increases to the minimum wage have little impact on employment, and that if employers do eliminate jobs or cut back hours, those losses are dwarfed by the income gains enjoyed by the majority of workers who keep their jobs." That quote is...from the FiveThirtyEight article that you linked to. The evidence so far seems to be that some of the time, for some levels, minimum wage increases do really work out in real life. The UW study criticizes the methodology of past studies, but it's at least worth acknowledging that there's criticisms of the UW study which are not, despite Fox's take, "this is not the result the socialists wanted." Notably, UW's study excludes businesses with multiple locations but only one account with Washington State's unemployment office, which eliminates 38% of the state's workforce from consideration, including all chain fast food and retail workers. They exclude them specifically because they can't get "location-based" data for workers in those cases; while that may be true, being inconvenient to UW's methodology doesn't render that data irrelevant.
The latency was in constructing the 'prompt' string (via his custom program). The actual input latency in the stack is both 'constant' and rather difficult for an end user to directly affect. Thankfully the millions of human-hours put in to the hardware and software stack have made that quite efficient.
Ask HN: Will you do us a lil’ favor? What do you think about “Growth Hacking”?
Hi HN folks,

What do you think about the term “Growth Hacking”? We were wondering if we should use it in our site tagline. You see, we run the Capital & Growth site [http://bit.ly/2v5eFOG] that you are likely familiar with from our investor interviews:

http://blog.capitalandgrowth.org/paul-buchheit/

In addition, we also provide sales and marketing answers to technical founders. GeekWire called us “the Stackoverflow for startup marketing”:

http://bit.ly/2s0qfMt

Recently we were told that "sales and marketing" connotes big, boring enterprises. Not startups.

But we are reluctant to use “Growth Hacking” because we feel it is a made up term. Startup Growth is, after all, the result of either sales or marketing!

We polled the Seattle HN Meetup group (that we help co-organize) and got interesting responses. What do you think?

If you’d be so kind, could you please vote for the tagline you like best? In exchange (if you like) you’ll be entered in a raffle to win a $100 Amazon gift card.

Vote Here: http://bit.ly/2vQUerB

Thanks,

P.S. We’ll share the full results of the poll (including the earlier Seattle HN meetup poll).

Cameron Elliot [http://bit.ly/2uWLMZ7] won the $100 gift card for the previous poll.
Is the problem hiring people to work in Fremont or is the problem transferring people who already work in Palo Alto to work in Fremont?

Transferring people can often mean their commute time increases 30-40 minutes. That sucks basically regardless of whether you currently have a walking commute or hour long one. And it's not like you usually have an entire team staffed only by east-bay residents: do you split the team into two offices? Force someone to suck it up? Rotate teams through offices? All of these options will basically be traumatic for some portion of your team.
This is the key. For an economic system based on capitalism we have surprisingly few 'real' capitalists. For the vast majority of people who own company equity it is tied up in retirement funds. Our system is designed to concentrate money in the hands of those that have it to begin with. As soon as more workers outside of startups start earning equity in the companies they work for we will see the income distribution change. And I suspect we would see a massive boom in worker productivity as they directly realize the financial gains.

"In terms of types of financial wealth, in 2013 the top one percent of households had 49.8% of all privately held stock, 54.7% of financial securities, and 62.8% of business equity. The top ten percent had 84% to 94% of stocks, bonds, trust funds, and business equity, and almost 80% of non-home real estate."
My ignorant TL;DR: BCH may temporarily more profitable in part because hardware goes a lot further against the reduced difficulty. As more miners are attracted to BCH, the difficulty should theoretically balance in correlation with the "in-practice"/exchangeable value of BCH.

Clicking on the 'difficulty' tab seems to confirm this:

http://fork.lol/pow/difficulty

--

I barely remember some mention of (at least the potential for) miners cooperating to reduce the difficulty for BCH after the fork. If I'm understanding this right (unlikely!), the relative hashpower is a pretty bad metric for comparison unless difficulty is also factored in?

I personally use the open source NiceHash client to earn what currently works out to $.06/day with a single older desktop GPU (thanks "free" internet + electricity!) because I don't want to be bothered with micro-managing to point the infinitesimally small fraction of mining power I experiment with in the optimal direction.
There is a good explanation on reddit of the history of this. [0] The Core developers did agree to a block size increase though in what is commonly referred to as the Hong Kong Agreement. They didn't follow though on that agreement and made up some truly weaselly excuses for why.

More recently a large group of players in the space came together and agreed to what has come to be called the New York Agreement (NYA) This said that they would support Segwit and a 2MB hard fork for bigger blocks. Core and Blockstream who largely controls Core have ignored the NYA and worked against it. They are pretending like segwit has support w/o the 2MB block increase when it doesn't and they are going around doing some truly cringe worthy stuff to tray and scuttle the 2MB part of it.

That is efficiency. We won't pay people to dig ditches when we have machines to do it. Efficiency is not the enemy, resource distribution is.
It could be kin selection. In the past people lived closer to and interacted more with people of similar genetic ancestry.

The real question is why wouldn't civic qualities decline.

You can look at this on an economic lens - people don't need to depend on familial relations as much because of money.

You can look at this with a racial/ethnic lens - more genetic variance reduces cooperative behaviours (see Charles Murray).

Then there's the libertarian version you've heard above.

Then there's the social lens - people have become atomized by individualism in their manners, social conditioning etc.

I like to think there's a non-relativistic way in which all of them are true, sometimes some of them more at certain times than others, but that they are models of the same phenomena.

Should we genetically manipulate ourselves to increase our pro-social behaviours? It seems clear that if society flies apart then all the critiques I've mentioned will be true simultaneously, I do not see how that can plausibly be positive. What about genetic intervention?
All I said was that I wouldn't link to it personally, and gave thanks for the story. I think your choice of words is a bit strong. If someone questions the validity of a source are they not entitled to mention this? It seems like you are trying to stifle my voice.
And each time it's been a little closer to the truth.

We mechanised the farm removing the need for hundreds/thousands of people to work on farms. Those people went to work in factories and mines.

The mines have moved to larger machines with fewer workers, preferring to use large open-cut techniques rather than underground mining wherever possible.

Then we automated large numbers of factories, and there were some more transport jobs moving stuff around en-masse.

Now we're looking to automate the transport jobs with self-driving vehicles.

When we automate transport jobs, where do all those people go to work?

Businesses are not automating things because they think it's cool, it's because it's a lower cost alternative to having humans do the work.
I don't think it works if you know they're difficult unsolved problems.

I agree, and so do many economists:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgism

The distinction is that mere ownership of capital, especially common goods (such as land and natural resources) excludes other members of society from access to that resource. It does not create value, but merely holds claim to existing value, seeking rent for allowing others access to it. This should be taxed. OTOH, productive activity takes that capital, adds labor and ingenuity, and creates goods or services which benefit society--such activity should be taxed less, or not at all.

Again, theory and reality rarely line up neatly.

A switch moves packets between devices inside a network and a router moves packets between networks. Calling one a frame and one a packet is splitting hairs and irrelevant to whether something is a router or a switch.

Using a *BSD/Linux box I can make a L2 router. I can also make an real (non routing) L3 switch. And since "pure layer 3 switch" is my made up term I think I get to define what it means, thank you very much. It's something that doesn't route, or in other words, you can have the same network (i.e. subnet) on multiple ports.

Then we get into the definition of a network. Is it a building, a department, or how about multiple buildings all over the world? Or how about the network of a backbone provider? Their core "routers" are really switches as they pass packets to other devices inside their network.

And the network gear manufacturers are muddying things even more. Their definition of routing or switching is whether it's done in software or hardware. That's why they're calling some of their equipment a Layer 3 Switch. As I said, that really is just a fast router based on the above definition.

The easiest way to distinguish switching vs routing is whether the packets move to the same or different subnet. It's a good rule of thumb but there are always exceptions.

You can take an L2 switch and replace it with an L3 switch on your network and everything IP based will work as if nothing had happened. You'd just get less broadcast traffic.

Nobody seems surprised when all wealth is accumulated by one player at the end of a game of Monopoly. The figures in the article should then also not surprise anyone. This is not some flow in our system, this is the natural progression of capitalism as designed.
There's an insoluble issue in that making permissions super granular - what you really need for good security - makes them unusable for Joe public, because he can't understand them. Heck, most people probably don't understand the very broad ones that Android has now.

Maybe whats needed is more of a trust model. Users could ask "what would Bruce Schneier do" for example. If Bruce [substitute trusted person of your choice] would install this app, then I'm happy to do it as well.
If it's happened so much as once (and I don't think that's controversial), then it's a good thing we let people get divorced instead of telling them they had better find ways to love their partners.

I just enjoy the way you use all these words to say that the theoretical entities exist when experiment has not shown any evidence of their existence.

Try to remember that a model is only a model and a theory is only a theory that is one possible explanation of the reality we observe.

It is an attempt to get a handle on understanding the universe around us. When you and others go off and start proclaiming the actual existence of these theoretical entities without at least the experimental confirmation of such, then you are setting yourself to be considered in the same light as attendees at the local ufo conventions.

It annoys me when theoretical entities are declared as existing when the evidence is only slightly in their direction or the only evidence is that they need to exist based on the current mathematical models being used.

When said and done, dark energy and dark matter are mathematical entities required by the prevailing theory. The prevailing theory is only one of a number of possible models. Which one you subscribe to is up to you and your view of how the current evidence stacks up.

At this point, none of the models seems to cover enough bases to make it the most likely scenario. So, for me, this is still an open question. The current prevalent model has at it basis, some, from my point of view, untenable inconsistencies.

The first and foremost is that gravity (whatever model you might ascribe to) is the majority controlling force. The inconsistency is that model uses gravity to give rise to "Black Holes" and yet has not stopped the "Big Bang" from happening. When you start to play around with reconciling both entities, it becomes a bit of a problem. You then add time dilation effects due to gravity (as per the various models in use) and you get other strange quirks/inconsistencies appearing.

The upshot of this is that people should be careful to not declare the actual existence of theoretical entities from incomplete models just based on belief. This just turns the supposed science into religion and religion is considered anathema amongst certain groups within the science communities.

The theories and models are supposed to be helpful working explanations that can change or be thrown out based on new evidence. They have a particular usage profile and range of applicability. If you go outside of that usability or applicability range then the theory/model will start to fail. As we were taught in undergraduate engineering all those decades, you use the applicable model/theory for the specific circumstances being investigated.

Not really, results are results. And they're usually pretty similar anyways. Also, consider that when searching with Siri, Apple is controlling the formatting of those results as well, so they will fit Apple's style, not Bing's.

No offense taken! To clarify on what I mean by "BTC's decisions," the tale I've heard is that a small group of people control a lot of the messaging around Bitcoin, e.g. the sub-reddit and a site and a Twitter account. These people also had an economic interest in Blockstream. So they used the fork to promote a solution that benefits Blockstream.
C++ projects I work on just require you to use a current compiler, or an older one if the project is older. So seems like 927 might not be as big an issue.
