Here's an example … https://etherscan.io/address/0x4f35f119145b8d599d2b70b37c730...

I mined these ~1500 ether in the first few days of their going live. Then I killed all my AWS instances, inadvertently making this account inaccessible as a result. It's "fun" to watch it go up in value. It was under $1K at one point.

I don't feel too bad, though, as I would have sold at 2x rather than 500x anyway …
Question on a diff layer:

first, 100MM or even 400MM devices is no fucking joke...

but Q is: bandwidth to deliver drivel to the devices... not the apps - but how much bandwidth will ads consume over consumed content.

If I were a VC, I would be purchasing every-single-pipe-in-existence for the future.

We went from pipes-are-pope to content-is-king -- but the fact is that the control of information is in the plumbing ( at the high level ) -- not the holders of attention... they are just firewalls.

Facebook is a firewall.

Google is a firewall.

Reddit is a honeypot.

etc...

you get the analogy.

so...

Who owns the pipe.

ISPs were vilified... FFs the NSA sent the head of Qwest to prison for not spying... the scientologists refuted the NSA on carnivore (because they were already monitoring the networks for clams) -- the .gov went after the guy who detailed all fibers.. -- how many more examples would you like...
Apparently the author believes the Facebook patents only applies in the context of a social network.
Brilliant idea. I'm really surprised there aren't more services like this as it seems such a logical idea that the admin/editor functionality of your site should be completely locked down and separate to the site serving the content. When making static sites, I've been looking for something with the flexibility of WordPress but there really isn't much out there. Good luck!

Do you allow custom plugins and templates? For the static generation part, how do you stop sites being too big or computationally expensive to generate?
It's a lot less risky than the US dollar.
> Also, how does Xcode compare in performance? It seems lighter, but I only have a pretty recent Macbook Pro to test on (which also handles Android Studio just fine)

Depends on what you open with it - for ObjC it's usually faster and smoother, for Swift it tends to be slower (about on par with AS Kotlin plugin) and for C++/ObjC++ it's horribly slow just like any other IDE out there :/
Only donkeys don't change their minds. Interestingly, I've heard donkeys are pretty intelligent creatures.
Did you actually look at the paper? The primary sources are videogame cheating forums like Ownedcore, not really where I'd go for money laundering advice. The posts seem to be mostly related to laundering stolen ingame money, not funds acquired elsewhere.

There's also one entirely speculative post (again from a videogame cheating forum) proposing a completely unrealistic, and ridiculously expensive approach to money laundering by buying and reselling videogame money.

The paper seems to have been written by mostly clueless people with little understanding of these communities or money laundering.

Great post, well written, thanks for sharing.

I had a similar problem, one thing I've been thinking of is how experience might be more trouble than help.

IE when I first coded I used to think about

* Does it work?

Now I also think about

* Is it always going to work

* Is it easy to read

* Is it tested properly

* Is it in a similar style to the rest of the codebase

* Is it maintainable

* Is it easy to debug

* Is it DRY

* Is it using the best possible libraries

* Is it efficient or could I have used a better algo

* Is it written in the appropriate language

* Is the tradeoff between config and code appropriate

* Is it easy to diagnose problems in production

So slowly I became a better developer, but I reached a point where it becomes really hard to get stuff done because you're thinking about all the other stuff and trying to make everything perfect, when for many situations it doesn't have to be. Not only is all that work, but a small task suddenly becomes a huge project - and its overwhelming.

Its especially difficult when you're more senior and responsible for more stuff - which you want to do perfectly too.

I dont have a great solution yet. I guess I have to lower standards a bit but its difficult.

So maybe its a problem you have maybe not, I thought I'd mention it anyway.
What they really need to focus on is removing the trans bigotry, forget driving ships, we need diversity!
Something is definitely off about your recollection here. g(x) = 1/√(1+x²) is always positive, whereas tanh(x) is negative for negative values of x. So regardless of your f, g(f(x)) can’t ever be a correct approximation for negative x.

Mirror other comments in that you should probably get checked out by a medical professional. If it's at the point where you are asking HN, you should probably also be telling a Doctor.

Specific to your stated concerns:

1. Family Commitments: No comment here, but remember that it's OK to set boundaries even with your close family.

2. Complexity of web dev: Narrow your focus. Often people will begin their careers in a very general role, but have a difficult time continuing to hold onto their entire scope as the world expands. Complexity increases faster than human abilities increase. Let go of some areas in order to focus your competence in others.

3. Work Stress: Say 'no' more often. It doesn't have to sound like 'no', it could be something along the lines of 'we will revisit this at the next planning meeting'. Then at the meeting bring up all of those suggested items at one time. Then it's not a question of "should we do X" but instead "what should be stopped so that work on 'X' can begin".

4. RSI: This should be #1. Ergo setup should be what you do today. Getting your setup wrong is a certain path to poor performance.

5. Age: 32 isn't a factor. It's ridiculous that we even have to address this. Your brain doesn't disappear at 30.

Make sure you have the following squared away:

Sleep, Diet, Exercise, Sunlight

Whenever I'm foggy/lethargic one of these is usually missing.
The thing is, fact checkers like Snopes and Politifact don't just give an opaque true or false proclamation, they explain how they arrived at that conclusion, which I think is the key bit. You're free to check the evidence for yourself and decide if their reasoning holds up. The people behind it aren't asking you to take their word on reputation alone.
Having developed for Android for many years and for iOS/Swift for over half a year, here's a bunch of random thoughts:

Developing for iOS/Swift is a more pleasant experience, the APIs are simpler and more well-thought. But it's not a huge difference.

Android Studio is a better (but uglier) IDE, but not by as much as people say.

Android's Activity and Fragment APIs is a horrible joke. I mean, Google is supposed to have these super smart devs, how could they design this mess?

Creating UI in iOS sucks. Specifically, Auto Layout and Interface Builder. I usually use Fb's Yoga, it's not ideal, but less of a pain.

Swift is one of the best-designed languages out there.
I wish, in school, teachers would have taught us things like this, how gears are just concurrent levers, how cams introduce asynchronicity to an operation. This is stuff I only started learning from working on and learning about cars.

I remember even when I was in school (a good time ago now), they were already killing off shop classes and the like. How sad that schools couldn't see what values classes like that have in critical problem solving.
It's starting to feel a little like the Macs in the 90s. More and more models and it's hard to figure out what to choose.
I've noticed a good pattern to indicate car value. Junkyard availability. If you want junkyard parts for a car in my region, you're looking at good availability for 15 year old American cars, 10 year old Japanese and German cars, and 5 year old Korean cars. That obviously is skewed by demand and taste, but is a nice indication of when a car is too old to be worth fixing.

Also a good way to figure out what used shitbox you should buy next if you want cheap parts. :)
>I don't know what needs to happen for people to get outraged, but privacy needs to be a mainstream political issue.

Almost totally orthogonal to discussions about how bad lack of privacy is getting, but the answer to the question posed is certainly any tangibly bad results of lack of privacy in my everyday life, ever. Which there really are none, so far. Certainly none that the average person would attribute to lack of privacy.
I think it is still a more useful metric than price. If you consider a cryptocurrency with a price of $1/unit, it still matters a lot whether there are 1 million or 1 billion units in circulation. Multiplying price with the number of units takes this into account.

I agree that "market cap" is a bit misleading. What would be a better name?
A small correction: He said he was approaching 33.
As a user, how does fragmentation matter to you? It shouldn't affect you directly. The place where it matters is that you'll get less developers making software for you, but honestly, in the past 3 years, that hasn't really been an issue on Android. Except one or two big games like Mario, it's been fairly equal to iOS in terms of app support.

Would you recommend some resource for learning to setup postgres? As a new grad I often times find myself frustrated with setting up postgres or other rdbms so I usually opt for easier systems like amazon RDS, firebase or mongo.

Before docker became popular, I basically have to do something like [this](https://github.com/docker-library/postgres/blob/master/9.6/D...), which I don't think I have mastered till this day.
I went up from an 11" Air to a 13" Pro, and I feel it's a lot less portable. The 12" MacBook would be _perfect_ for me if I could get 2 USB-C ports (or more). But having only one means it would be even harder to use the 12" than my 13" Function key, which already requires at least one dongle to use effectively for 'pro' level work.
You are arguing what is. I'm arguing what ought be. I believe it is a violation of fundamental human rights to prevent people from doing with their own property what they like, provided that so doing does not impinge upon the rights of others. My right to be taken in by any scam I choose ought to be absolute. If, ex-post, I can show that I was conned, I ought to receive compensation for that, and maybe the perpetrators ought to go to jail. But the government shouldn't stop me from doing it.
Linux isn't that difficult to use any more. I didn't need to do any special configuration with my current laptop. Battery life is about 11-13 hours. ThinkPad t460. 24 Gb of RAM. USD $1,900 including tax, shipping, and a 4-year, next-day, at-home repair plan where they will drive to my home to fix it on the next business day, even if I spill coffee on it.

I don't understand why people encourage the use of restricted technology. If consumers say that restricted technology is okay (by buying it and recommending it), eventually we won't have a choice any more.
Question out of curiosity. Since Asana has started using react - are you using route based chunking/code splitting[1] to significantly speed up page load times?

We have started using it for some pages (with some complex UI flows) and it has sped up the page load times by an order of magnitude. Makes the first interaction super snappy while the other stuff loads in the background.

> I hope the iMac pro is just that, a pro version of the iMac, and that a new Mac Pro comes out as well.

That's exactly the roadmap that was announced at the last Apple WWDC: Pro version of the iMac around the end of this year, to be followed by a new Mac Pro (with no built-in monitor) when it's good and ready.

The mini has special challenges. It is a low volume product compared to the the iPhones, iPads, and iMacs. There are probably 100 iPhones sold for each mini. Simultaneously, it is a cost sensitive product, sitting at the bottom of the Apple computer price list. It is probably difficult to recover the engineering, qc, and manufacturing costs to change a model.

Couple this with a baffling inability of Intel's market segmentation machinations to cough out a pair of chips which make sense for a low end and a high end mini and there really isn't a compelling reason to make a new model. Intel's newer offerings just don't offer enough bang to pay the mini product development buck.

They could. The bureaucrats didn't, and moreover didn't care.

I took a hands on physics class in high school (elective at a magnet school) called power and energy, in which we took apart, cleaned, and put back together an engine as our semester project, as well as learning all the math and physics behind the way in which they operated, how to calculate pretty much everything they did, etc.

It was an enormously valuable class in learning, fairly early on in my proper STEM education, how a system could be made up of many moving parts and subsystems - an obvious boon to my work today in software.
If they have container ships, I wouldn't bet against them...
You can't afford to not Pivot. Especially in tech, where the landscape changes so drastically and frequently. You must adapt or die quickly.

Failure is not a badge of honor, or something to aspire to. It happens, and should be dealt with accordingly, and should not define a person or idea - but it shouldn't be glorified.

The entire point of the article was "Trump changes his mind a lot". Supports will call that adapting, detractors will call that failure. Does it matter how it's labeled?
> aspiring computer engineers were expected to understand systems "sand to Skyrim"

Could you elaborate on your definition of this term?

It's my perception that many different kinds of folks, other engineers; managers; employers; etc, in this community are expecting a very broad and thorough level of different languages, systems, patterns, etc at all levels of a person's development, and in spite of creating a learning environment this bias seems to persist.
Maybe dollar weighted volume would be a better comparison.
Single page apps are primarily a design / experience choice. The limitation is one's ability to define an experience within a single-page app.

Or at least some sort of federal hurricane tax

We already have this. Federal income taxes are what's used to fund FEMA, which admittedly only handles one aspect of a complex disaster, but if I take your point correctly it would provide a narrowing of the issues.
So far, we've worked with a few larger customers to run LogRocket on their own infrastructure (or their own AWS environment in some cases), but we haven't publicized the specifics yet.

This reminds me of research from a while back suggesting schizophrenia was related to an ancient retrovirus that entered our DNA millions of years ago and occasionally causes problems (Discover mag, "The Insanity Virus," June 2010). Reseach is ongoing: (http://discovermagazine.com/2015/sept/6-insanity-virus).

From the 2010 story:

> Sixty million years ago, a lemurlike animal—an early ancestor of humans and monkeys—contracted an infection. It may not have made the lemur ill, but the retrovirus spread into the animal’s testes (or perhaps its ovaries), and once there, it struck the jackpot: It slipped inside one of the rare germ line cells that produce sperm and eggs. When the lemur reproduced, that retrovirus rode into the next generation aboard the lucky sperm and then moved on from generation to generation, nestled in the DNA. “It’s a rare, random event,” says Robert Belshaw, an evolutionary biologist at the University of Oxford in England. “Over the last 100 million years, there have been only maybe 50 times when a retrovirus has gotten into our genome and proliferated.”

>...Perron in 2008, found HERV-W in the blood of 49 percent of people with schizophrenia, compared with just 4 percent of healthy people.
That's the spirit! hahaha
I think we'd both be surprised on how much actually does come from "building houses over and over." My assertion being that much of material science advancement came from required advancements from previous failed houses.

In an ideal world, we wouldn't give more benefits to people who were more well off.

To use a rather odd analogy, imagine you're playing an RPG that becomes extremely easy as you advance in the game. Enemies just dying within 10 ft. of you. That's a shitty game. Earning that one extra dollar on the margin as you climb the economic hierarchy should be more difficult, not less.

I hate this idea that people wouldn't be motivated to earn more just because it's more challenging to do so. What kind of pathetic excuse for a human thinks like that? Our society is backwards.
Thanks for your kind words! It took a lot of effort but we're happy with the result.
Wish I could upvote this one twice.

The weight of expectations on the shoulders of talented young people, ginned up by years of ersatz "success" in getting good grades and getting into college and getting more good grades and maybe even getting some seed funding -- this is the real "invisible hand" of SV. I feel like people in my parents' generation were acculturated to be happy with a house, a steady job, a car in the driveway, and beer in the fridge. Our generation by contrast seems as if it is populated by people who will consider themselves a massive disappointment if they don't turn out to be the next Zuck.
The nice thing is, a planetary gearset can do basically the same, and is the building block of automatic gearboxes and Prius power distribution between ICE, electric motogenerator and wheels.
One thing that I rarely hear about crypto-currencies is the environmental impact. I am a bit surprised to see the environment-friendly silicon valley getting excited by such an energy-wasting protocol. If we have to burn CPUs reversing hashes every time someone makes a payment, we should start building new coal and nuclear power plants now.
Not 100% sure that the immobiliser strategy was a Kia strategy or a dealership strategy. I drive a Kia in Germany. Thank goodness they or their dealership does not have any such thing here.
Right, but Uber is not cheaper than owning and using one's own car, so they haven't actually lowered the cost of a car trip, only of a taxi trip. Own cars are not only still much cheaper, as the cost per trip actually goes down as you use it more, making Uber even less attractive as the number of trips increases.

It's exactly for people who take very few car trips, like me, since they use mostly public transport, that Uber is actually more attractive than car ownership, since it avoids the fixed costs.

As for road repair costs, that's usually paid off from gas taxes, which Uber pays linearly according to their used miles, so it's not "socialized" in any meaningful way.
This is around the time JSONB was introduced[1].

There was also (not sure if still developed) an interface called ToroDB, which allows you to plug in a MongoDB application to store data in Postgres. The interface provides Mongo compatible layer and the application still thinks it talks with Mongo. Even with the extra translation layer, ToroDB was faster than original MongoDB[2].

Read the article and tell me specifically which parts of it communicate something substantive and critical that is also correct. Substantive communication of ideas or dynamics doesn't mean a thing if they are not accurate.

And also, with wearables it's not so much bringing a device closer, but a personal network of devices.

Smart watches (biometric inputs, small always ready screen output), glasses (AR overlay output, line-of-sight and image recognition input), etc.
