This isn't true anymore. Internal brace method is the most common advancement. There are other less ethical ones being done by select surgeons, too.
Instantaneous price is not value. The concept of "market cap" for these coins is ... fairly weak. It's not a good real measure.

We are going to have a massive crypto bubble-- this is fundamentally new technology so its going thru the technology adoption life cycle and pops every time it gets to a wider audience--- and it hasn't yet gone mainstream. Everyone knows about it, but nobody trusts it yet.

We're at the point like in the 1990s when the idea of using your credit card on the internet seemed foolish and just asking to lose your money.

Once people become comfortable with it we will have a massive bubble, fortunes will be made and lost and it will make 2001 and 2008 look positively sedate.

I don't think BCH will still be around by the time that happens, though.
What does any of that have to do with whether its better than proof of work?

As someone who has done both, you can either spend all your time writing complex PBR shaders, or you can spend all your time writing complex gameplay code.

Unity is only "like putting together Lego blocks" in the sense that one very versatile brick and a few fairly trivial bricks are provided to you out of the box, but you'll still need to vacuum form your own set of specialized bricks for the rest of the game.

I am never one to say "don't reinvent the wheel". I think the phrase is universally used by malcontents to berate newbs. I think there is still a lot of value to be had in people starting new game engine projects. But if you want to make a game, rather than a game engine, you should probably be using Unity or Unreal. Making a game in Unity is absolutely a complex undertaking. Just not in the rendering shader code. Which is only a small part of any project.
When you say that young lefties thinks that Brazil was a paradise during a time when a right wing military dictatorship ruled the country, you are stating a fact that simply isn't true, not an opinion.

And to be honest, a lot of young right wingers are the ones that miss the dictatorship and say that the country was better in that time, in which case what you said couldn't be more distant from the reality.
All of the BTC you had on August 1st, 2017 was replicated on the BCH chain when they forked off of the BTC chain.

Depending on your wallet there are mechanisms to separate out your BCH and BTC (Because it's a fork you need to be careful about this, as replay attacks might be possible.)

See your wallet maker for specific advice

> Because most attendants were women, Icahn insisted, they were not “breadwinners,” and should not expect compensation commensurate with that of male employees. At one point in the negotiations, he reportedly suggested that if the flight attendants were having such trouble making ends meet they “should have married a rich husband.” (Icahn denied having made sexist comments.) C. E. Meyer, the company’s chief executive, described Icahn as “one of the greediest men on earth.” T.W.A. eventually went out of business.

Highly unlikely. BCH is the result of non-technical people who do not trust new technology in bitcoin an wanted a coin they could control.

%98 of BCH is mined by one entity.

They wanted their own bitcoin and they have it now and they are pumping it, but they don't have a decent development team and their motives are not good.
Then why do machine learning scientists get paid multiples more than statisticians? Why do CS departments get far more funding for ML grants than the same grant branded from the statistics department?

Say what you want about ML vs statistics, the fact is: in both academia and industry, machine learning is far sexier than statistics.

I just want to say that i've had several burnouts throughout life so far, the majority being during key projects for my school/university. This has become a recurrent event as it is now happening also during my work. Anxiety feeds it.

[AA is controversial, I know]

AA is controversial among a tiny minority of anti-religion internet blowhards. For the vast majority of reasonable folks, it really isn't. Glad to hear it has worked for you.
No, but exploiting the language of rights that fascists don't believe but the wider society does in to advance their interests is a common (but not at all unique to them) tactic of fascists.
just because you may have enough resources to sue facebook for patent infringement doesn't mean you can afford to halt all new development and rewrite/rebuild what has become the reason that you have enough resources to sue facebook
Yes. Creepy and shocking are different. Odd that you think these are synonyms but "gross" isn't. Also amusing that you claim indecency and don't realize that's the cry of the prude.

There's also nothing about unsanitary about public defecation. On the street, yes. But a toilet or latrine is no less sanitary when you take the walls down. It's just not private any more.
I dont think its about morals, but more about userbase expectations. YouTube as a product is generally seen as a video archive. They do have the choice to not host it, but they risk an user exodus. Given the competition from Facebook, Snapchat, and the like, that's a risk they cant take. More so when it's Alphabet's only successful social network acquisition.
correct. All indicators (miners not switching, 60% Korean volume, 0 dev support, plethora of FUD articles about core) are showing that it's a P&D and now is a great time to sell all your BCH back to BTC.
Please study the technology before making such claims. SegWit quadruples capacity, and lowers fees-- in fact the lower fees is one of the objections that resulted in BCH. The only reason there is any congestion on BTC is that the creators of BCH -- the "big blockers" have been spamming the network-- to drive up fees. If you have a significant portion of the mining hash power you can spam BTC with transactions to drive up fees and make a profit.

It's not core that wants high fees-- why would they?

Most people don't know of BCH and since it was done in such a half assed manner most wallets don't really support it yet.

As long as there exists one node which still connects to both types, there won't be a partition now.
Segwit enables 4MB blocks so all this talk about "1mb blocks" is kinda silly. If you don't understand the technology and block weight don't try to make claims.

LN can work without segwit but it works much better with segwit and segwit enables a lot of other things like side chains and shorr signatures etc.

No there was no agreement called Segwit2X. The BCH people agreed segwit2x but the developers weren't even invited.

To call something a compromise or an agreement when one side was never even invited is disingenuous at best.

But this kind of misrepresentation has been going on for years and is the primary basis of attack against core-- because there are no technical arguments against core.
Fun with Lisp: Programming the NES
FWIW, Facebook and messaging have not hijacked my mind anywhere near as thoroughly as HN and Reddit have. It's always fascinating to see such moral outrage about addictive internet companies on these far more addictive platforms.

What would the adaptation for Hacker News or Reddit look like? For one thing, probably a controlled release of all new content in batches, so we get trained out of refreshing them all the time. To its credit, HN at least provides noprocrast.
Basketball points also only exist because we believe they exist and have value. We're building stadiums and hiring refs and training athletes and maintaining rulesets and running games, which all use up a ton of resources and take up time from very expensive humans (players, engineers, logistics experts, coaches, statisticians), all to feed an arms race for getting more of those points.
Wal-Mart Applies for Patent for Blimp-Style Floating Warehouse
Dating back to the days of satoshi, the consensus would reject blocks that did not fit its rules. That way some node can't just make up its own rules.

Rather than join a P2P network of nodes with wrong rules Core added code to not connect to nodes that give you blocks that violate consensus.

It's not controversial but the anti-core forces have nothing of substance so they make up drama.

How PWA Directory Uses a Hybrid of SSR and CSR to Build a Fast PWA
How would you keep in touch with a hypothetical friend who you cannot text because they live in another country and doesn't prefer email?

For most people, social media isn't strictly a necessity but it's essential for keeping in touch with friends, long distance family, and to see what's going on with those friends, e.g. events. So stating "deleting social media is the only answer" is counterproductive because it's a non-solution.

Same with Google Play since day 0.
Social consensus's suitability depends on the use-case. For example, social consensus is used to determine 'what is Bitcoin', and works pretty well for that use (the BCH hard fork notwithstanding).

For determining the state of the blockchain at some point in the past, it is probably effective, because the fact unambiguously revealed itself at some point in the past.

The trusted sources can even be Trusted Execution Environments that automatically output the state at t minus 3 months. There is very little room for factionalism, given deviating from the truth is so obvious when the whole interested world could see the objective truth three months prior and would have trusted sources they can rely on to relay that fact to them.
No it won't. FlexTrans is ... lets just say it's not fully baked yet.

Also the people creating congestion on BTC are the people who made BCH-- there is no natural congestion on BTC. Segwit quadruples capacity and lowers fees-- I expect we will quickly see segwit transactions be super cheap while the Jihan spam attack drives up non-segwit transactions making it really obvious that this is, in fact a spam attack (it's already obvious if you understand things well enough to look at the blocks yourself. Jihan is including his low fee spam transactions in his own blocks even though it otherwise wouldn't be economical to do so.)
Reservations about TypeScript
Agreed, the learning curve to build more complex, larger applications in vuejs was considerably less than with react.
Yes, with the metal tray-table hinge digging into your kneecap.
We've migrated several projects to Preact with no issues at all. The projects depend on numerous React-based modules, including an extensive collection of components, some with state management, routing, data fetching, etc. They work seamlessly, built on either React or Preact.

It only takes a small change in the build config, using babel-plugin-module-resolver to alias react and react-dom, to preact-compat.
"ROP attack methods are impacted because existing gadgets are transformed to consist of '<gadget artifacts> <mangle ret address> RET'. That pivots the return sequence off the ROP chain in a highly unpredictable and inconvenient fashion."
Larger blocks increase centralization. This has become a litmus test for "understanding bitcoin". There's a lot of people who thin they understand but what they understand is an narrative that's been spun for them that isn't technologically correct.
Yes. Subjectively speaking it is finding the correct idea, not an unusual one. It's akin to remembering something. You either remember somebody's name or you don't; you don't make up a new one.
It increases the complexity of the attack. Usually, stack cookies make ROP harder these days but guessing the cookie only has a complexity of 8*256 (on OpenBSD), but xor'ing the return address with another value does increase the complexity even more. And that might be good news for programs that use fork a lot (like nginx) and hence don't get a refresh for ASLR/stack cookies for every request (like e.g. sshd on OpenBSD does [which does does fork/exec to ensure ASLR/cookies are refreshed]).

It seems that this 'sport' (and other U.S. 'sports') is one of those uniquely American things like 'customary units', tea drinking and non-standard spellings where British-ness has to be eradicated. The whole point of the game is that the rest of the world (particularly British people) just don't get it. Life is too short to bother knowing the rules to these U.S. only 'sports', unless you are working with Americans there is no conversation value whatsoever in knowing all those stats that U.S. 'sports' fans obsess over.

> as replay attacks might be possible

BCH added at the eleventh hour a replay protection mechanism, so that's not the biggest issue. The risks are mostly sending BCH to an address which expects only BTC (or vice versa), and allowing less tested wallet software access to your private keys (which is why the recommendation is usually to first send everything to a new BTC wallet, before importing the now spent private keys into the BCH wallet).
I feel the same way. Maybe this just points to an ambivalence on my part about my career, but when I hear about the density of tech workers in the Bay Area, it makes me feel claustrophobic.

Those people are not paying attention, or are paying attention to the wrong people.

Bitcoin cash is not closet o the "original vision"... that's a Roger Ver claim which is asinine beyond belief.

SegWit literally fixes an issue that Satoshi identified in the white paper... and Lightening Network is literally a nice rebranding and enhancement of the payment channels that Satoshi came up with.

Segwit quadruples capacity and lowers fees-- in fact Jihan said in a blog that the segwit fees were "unfair" because they are too low. Who is it you think who wants high fees again?

You've been listening to the people who want to take over bitcoin, not the engineers.

You have tons of well established platform tools that will give you way more power at your fingertips if you wish so.

Great podcast, I didn't know it before. Thanks for sharing it!
I switched a small project to Preact. It was fairly straightforward. Most code was compatible. And the code which was not compatible was easily modified.
I wonder if "forking" Bitcoin will become the default method for new coins to be created in the future. It seems like it has advantages, you can pretty much "prove" that you have not premined your coin (although implementation of the fork still would be very important).

Baseball is played around the world. This comment is slightly insulting and pointless.
Here is the irony in blockchain and computerized value systems in general: value is a collective social phenomenon. There is no way to avoid social consensus when creating a value exchange system between participants. In Bitcoin, it's people who have the biggest computational power decide what happens. In proof-of-stake, it's people with the most money decide what happens. In the latter, you might as well just argue that every country's government be set up as a trusted validator proportional to their population instead of Ethereum early adopters.

Cryptocurrencies are a platform attempting to solve the very human issue that value transfer systems are social and emotional. The original concept with Bitcoin was that your money could go from A -> B and no one could stop it -- except for those people who can actually stop it because they have vast amounts of network influence for whatever reason. Notwithstanding, even if you have millions of dollars in cryptocurrency, if someone really wants it badly enough they can probably hit you with a wrench until you reveal your keys. The only thing stopping this is a strong system of property law enforced by someone capable of physically removing you from the rest of society if they deem you to be in violation of social pacts.

The only major advantage offered by cryptocurrencies is that at least you can know the numbers appearing in your bank account aren't completely made up by a bureaucrat in an office somewhere. Regardless of your feelings about fiat, you can generally rest assured of this if you buy equities, which are well tracked and actually represent a corporeal stake in some company. So, aside from being a geeky toy and new market for gambling, where has cryptocurrency actually succeeded?
The entire category of "you need non-standard datastructures" works perfectly well on the JVM and .NET CLR, but is entirely useless in Go (thanks to missing generics).
I don't see this as a problem, because proof of stake must compete with other mechanisms to convert time*capital into more capital, and it has diminishing returns. If PoS has higher risk-adjusted returns than other investments, it will become more crowded until this is no longer the case.

PoS provides real value - the maintenance of a blockchain - so it makes sense to reward the capital required for such maintenance accordingly.
No idea why this was downvoted; I find this to be an accurate description. The difference between stats and ML is mostly one of terminology and perspective. I studied math in college and grad school, and there were several moments in Andrew Ng's online lectures where I thought "oh, I know this, but we didn't call it that, and I had no idea it was considered ML."
Yeah, my experience is almost a perfect match. These days I'm wondering how a statistician can best capitalize long-term in tech?
Symfony core components are also the foundation of Silex, which I find to be a more straight-forward and less opinionated framework than Laravel. https://silex.symfony.com/
Esoteric might not be the right word, but I see your point. Without hearing from Facebook first hand, though, I don't want to discredit their internal use of React Native, especially since it is verifiably in products that they use, e.g. Facebook and Instagram mobile apps.
I respectfully disagree with everyone saying these are statistics. This is analytics. Most of them are down to earth and practical matters that I think would be lost on someone who did statistics as a math degree (but maybe this distinction is unclear because it is also observably different from straight comp sci or neural net expertise).

I recently graduated from a masters of business analytics program and would have humbly assumed that the breadth and depth of knowledge asked for in these questions would be beyond my capacity, but it was actually pretty spot on with what I had learned. Strictly speaking, I am far from an expert in statistics/math/comp sci. But these seem like reasonable questions. The best one is

"How will you decide whether a customer will buy a product today or not given the income of the customer, location where the customer lives, profession and gender? Define a machine learning algorithm for this."

This is a difficult question because for someone who has played with data science before, the answer seems to be obvious: throw the data into your favorite predictive algorithm and see the result (worst case: deep learning). What they are probably looking to see is a discussion of feature engineering, hypothetical exploratory analysis, and an effective way to present the answer (straight probabilities, weighted loss functions, outlier detection, etc.)
But you can use JSX with Vue if that's what you prefer. Vue passes everything down to render functions in the end anyways.

React forces JSX use, so a lot of times the battle between Vue vs React seems to be Vue Templates vs JSX which never makes sense to me.

Those names have nothing to do with JSX or React, they're the actual properties you're setting. JS properties don't map 1:1 to HTML attributes: while for example the "src" attribute is controlled using the "src" property, the "for" attribute is controlled using the "htmlFor" property, and the "class" attribute with the "className" property. All React is doing is setting the properties you tell it to.

(The reason for the name change is that old versions of JS couldn't use keywords - like "for" and "class" - as property names.)
Unfortunate timing.
Preact, React alternative that almost certainly implements many of React's patents, but without a license to do so. Doesn't sound like a great alternative to me.
