In Dallas, Texas, we face the opposite. My wife wasn't able to breastfeed for a variety of reasons. Even when you tell someone that breastfeeding wasn't medically possible for us, people still want to give you advice on how we should have done things differently and how breastfeeding is so much better. There are a lot of women who seem to think that using formula is a hair short of child abuse and are very vocal about it in America, which leads to all kinds of neuroses in those who can't or don't wish to breastfeed.
Actually, banks are recognizing cryptocurrencies as currencies. Ripple[1] is probably one of the best examples as it's being backed by many banks.

Git defaults to using 7 hex characters for short hashs and doesn't see collisions for 95+% of repos. Even the Linux kernel repo with all its objects only needs 12 characters to ensure uniqueness.
Outside of Silicon Valley, people view cryptocurrencies as a 21st-century safe haven investment. Insulated from overvalued equities? Check. Insulated from sovereign debt crises and central banks? Check. Whether or not that's a fair or accurate assessment is immaterial. The fundamental demand is for an asset that isn't subject to the whims of an unstable, fallible government. The bonus with Bitcoin: it also happens to be a viable currency, so once people shift enough assets into its market, there's incentive to just keep it and use it. This is what everyone wanted, right? The end of central banks, the end of fiat currencies, the end of pointless middlemen, clearing houses and transaction fees. This is the Bitcoin upside in action.
You're a good man (or woman). I wish more shippers were like you. I'm a frantic wreck when I order a guitar; never knowing what condition it might show up in at the mercy of the shipper.

There's obviously some middle ground between self-aggrandizing jargon and Up-Goer Five [1]. I think most disciplines will come to the necessary jargon over time, just as "plain English" comes to the necessary words. But it will always be a messy process.

This reminds me of the dot com boom. There was a very small very libertarian group of people excited about things like disintermediation, the vast majority of investors just wanted to make money on the hottest new thing, a subset of those might have believed in the fundamentals but the rest were just gamblers.

All the former can be shot or kept away with a stick, not to mention seen from a distance. Those ant rafts can sneak around between other floating detritus and catch you by surprise, and there is no defense once they catch you.

Show HN: Have anxiety? Get help from an awesome non-profit
Hello everyone! As you can tell, I don't use Reddit that much, but I figured this was a great way to reach out to people and let them know that help is always available. I am the founder of Asking Jude, a mental and emotional safe haven that provides free online supportive service. I have a team of interns currently training to become psychiatrists and psychologists that answer any and every question--from inquiries on domestic abuse to mental illness.

Well, recently I created a supplemental Youtube channel to give both text- and visual-based help to everyone. I find that putting a face to a name makes things far more personal. Our first mental health video is on social anxiety and provides some pretty detailed tips and tricks on how to manage it. I have suffered from social anxiety, so I know a lot about it. It would mean the world to me if you guys checked it out and maybe even subscribed or left feedback.

Please, support the idea that everyone deserves help and check out and subscribe:

If they'd keep BTC balance, it wouldn't ease up any hurdles - the AML&other compliance issues aren't set by banks, but by regulations which apply to everyone doing significant amounts of trade.

If the merchant receives the funds in a fiat currency account in a bank, then the bank worries about AML and related issues so that the merchant wouldn't have to do that - receiving money to a regulated financial institution exempts your business from most of these regulations, but if merchants such as NewEgg, Expedia, CheapAir and others would accept BTC "directly", then the same rules as for cash transaction would apply, namely, they are responsible for ensuring that high value transactions or repeated low value transactions that add up to a lot of value cannot be anonymous, they become responsible from enforcing KYC (know your customer) requirements, they become responsible for any laundering done through their channel if someone finds a way to do this, etc.

The only way how a legitimate business can deal with cryptocurrency (or cash) in large volumes is if they can ensure that the expected benefits of cryptocurrency (unrestricted ability of anonymous/pseudonymous trade) don't get used. The only high-value goods that get sold/bought with BTC are illegal items. The regulations don't affect selling coffee for BTC (but high transaction fees do), but if you want to do serious transactions - transfer wealth, buy lots of electronics, cars or real estate, settle financial deals or stock purchases - then that won't work with anonymous cryptocurrency unless you have appropriate paperwork documenting how you got it, or are ready to pay extra tax (you know that if you bought BTC for $10/coin and sell it for $1000/coin, then the difference is taxable income, right?). It's the same manner as allowing your customers to pay for stuff with a briefcase of cash - you can do that, but you'd need to report the transaction, identify the customer, and that customer would either have a clear source for that briefcase of cash or would have a talk with IRS.

I seem to be the only one who remembers this, but for a brief period of time, Amazon implemented the lower confidence bound approach (where you were sorting on the lower bound to the average, not the average itself).

I loved it, but I noticed that not too long after (maybe a year?) they removed it. My sense was that small businesses were complaining that the system was unfairly benefiting larger businesses. E.g., if you have a new product, using the lower bound or something similar is unfair because it penalizes you for being new, relative to established players.

Honestly, I can see that perspective too (which is missing from the linked piece), and am not really sure what to do about it. The linked piece comes at it from the perspective of consumer risk minimization, and not from the perspective of the producer, which Amazon also has to contend with.

The solution is probably to allow sorting by both.

FTA: "But because Ellis was believed to be involved in another shooting that happened one day earlier on January 20, 2013, the judge felt there were exigent circumstances" [that didn't require a warrant].

So then they don't _necessarily_ require a warrant. It seems like nowadays, with the Patriot Act and similar law measures, you would have to completely ban in all cases something you don't want authorities to abuse. Otherwise, they will have an excuse for being unconstitutional they can take advantage of.

This is the problem with an app assuming it understands your web of trust. There's no way to signal a toxic, unwanted or compartmentalized connection.

It's also why I use multiple profiles in Android to force that compartmentalization since the snoopy apps have no context it's better to just deny them the data entirely.

Good work!
I'm glad we're not a tech savvy state.

A huge portion of the people I've met in tech are class-A douche bags. They are obsessed with salary, or the fact that they work for X instead of Y. They are extremely elitist.

All of my friends who went to high school in the Bay Area have classmates who killed themselves over (lack of) prestige.

You won't see any of that in Iowa. It is a much more honest place. People work hard but aren't obsessed with where you want to college or how much money you make.

I would be genuinely sad if Apple or Google opened a SWE location in Iowa. The culture is basically the antithesis of the old Midwest.

Welcome to the land of adulthood, where everything is like this.

There's an old joke about the American hiker in Japan going to the inn in a small village in the evening and asking for a room. The innkeeper says in Japanese, "you wouldn't like it here, we have Japanese bathrooms." The hiker replies in Japanese that he has been in Japan for months and would be fine. They go back and forth a couple of times until the hiker in frustration says, in English, "Why can't I just get a place to sleep?" The innkeeper replies, "Because you don't speak Japanese," and slams the door.

Anyway, this kind of behavior is everywhere, especially in any field that does not look difficult. Yes, I have a PhD in computer science. No, I don't fix PCs all day.

The bottom line is that the author is part of the problem. The article is excessively erudite and verbose. He's clearly not talking to anyone outside of his field. He misrepresents the state of the "other side" to make points. (Quick, call up the ghost of William F. Buckley and ask him about the state of the American right.) And he is not saying anything new.

There’s several problems with this.

(a) all drivers live in kernel space, even the sketchy drivers you have to download from NVIDIA

(b) if a driver wants to be included easily, it needs to become part of the kernel source tree, but that can only happen if Torvalds and his maintainers get full control.

(c) the API is broken with every release

As a result of all of this, the kernel maintainers refused even in any way to cooperate with AMD on their open driver (AMD needs a stable layer at some point to run the same additional functionality on windows, mac, and linux – the alternative is no linux support), we get ancient drivers on Android, with Google building their own HAL, and more shit.

At the same time, the syscalls, where maintaining a stable API is completely irrelevant and could simply be done via a small userspace library that you call to instead of doing actual syscalls, and which also massively would improve security if the translation between old and new syscalls would happen in userspace, is the one thing Torvalds maintains in the kernel.

The decisions made by Torvalds are reckless, massively hurt security and usability of open source, and the entire concept of open source ("we’d rather have only a proprietary AMD driver than an open AMD driver that relies on an HAL").
My work doubled down on that idea, and half of our software is packaged into the same JAR and run subsystems through CLI flags.

So you just see "C:\...\app.jar" unless you dig into the flag halfway through to see it's "--widget-1" and not "--widget-2".
Also as an English speaker, you make a good point, which is regrettably obscured by your lack of commas.
"Economy" is the movement of money.

Of course wealth redistribution via progressive taxation, in this case via UBI (or negative income tax) increases the economy.

Conflating wealth growth (aggregation, transferring, hording) with economic activity is how we got into our current mess (accelerating inequity).
Not surprising. Bill Nye is a business man not a scientist.

Microsoft has been investing a lot of effort into security. If they had it their way, you wouldn't even be able to install unverified software.

I'm not sure Microsoft has been making the bad "security is expensive" decisions since XP sp2. Note also that they've been ahead of the curve on security since Vista, which was much maligned (partially) as a result. Nowadays both macOS and windows effectively have UAC, but Vista took the heat for it. Same thing with blocking unknown software; Windows took the heat, but just you try to run non-Apple-signed packages on OS x.

@Walter: did you generate code form the AST or from bytecode? Seems like a lot of the solutions around now generate code from the bytecode, my understanding at least.
My point is that, in a bribery society, the police would be collecting the tax anyway. The difference is that they would keep most or all of it for themselves personally. Thus, all of the anger would be there over losing money, plus anger at the injustice of having to bribe corrupt cops, plus diminished services.

I also think cutting services can be dangerous. For example, a service to feed the elderly, inspect water safety, maintain roads, deploy police to prevent or reduce crime, after school programs for disadvantaged teens who might otherwise get into or cause dangerous situations, etc.
We need to await the results of the Finnish study[1]. As an aside, I wish all politics would take an experimental scientific approach as the Finnish are doing. They are randomly selecting 2000 unemployed in a specific area and trialling the basic income for two years. I hope they have also selected a control population. At the end of two years they will assess how the scheme affects cost and employment status of that group.

People can choose to work or not. I just don't want to be stuck with the consequences of it. The word parasite means that they are increasing their well-being by reducing another individual's well-being.

The number of children who are able to live off of their parents / grandparents money and don't work at all is so finite that it isn't really worth mentioning. Alongside that, they are a net gain for the economy.

Think about it - you have vast sums of wealth being dumped back into the economy through luxury purchases, and no impact to the labor force by them working. I may not agree with their decision to not work, but I really couldn't care less whether they do what I agree or not.

Also, a 100% estate tax would do one of two things: 1) create a disincentive for wealth accumulation as their is nothing to do with it afterwards thereby reducing their overall output 2) force those people into different investment vehicles where they can pass their wealth to their children as a "gift" prior to their passing.

That is really only import for those who are amassing large sums of wealth though. For the regular person - or even top 10% - all the 100% estate tax would mean is that dad's classic car that you restored together gets sold at auction instead being passed down, or the funds that could have gone to their grandchildren's college is now funneled into the government, or other similar act of smallish amount of funds being siphoned off by the federal government.

I live in PA on the border of NJ and I worked in NJ while I was looking to buy my house. Buying in NJ would of cut my commute at the time by 45 minutes each way but the property taxes were nearly $600 a month compared to under $1300 a year in PA for a similar home (the PA home is in a better neighborhood and isn't a townhouse as well). I made the choice to buy in PA then after a year or so found a PA job. NJ just does not provide much value for your tax dollar and I imagine many other people make the choice I made every day.

Tell that to the US DSA which is seeing record membership increases. And tell that to Kamala Harris who's an astute politician that co-signed Sander's single-payer bill. If the winds of change aren't blowing leftward then explain the current trend.

Also, Trump's ascendancy is the result of the capitalists not the working class. Robert Mercer (one of Trump's key supporters) has as much in common with you and me than does a mouse with a moose. Essentially, Trump is the carefully created result of decades of right wing propaganda and concerted destruction of the welfare state. Want to see less of Trump? Then tax the living heck out of the super rich and/or ban their right to fund any kind of think tank or PAC forever (down to a constitution amendment if necessary).

JS is actually a better fit for threading than C, and in many ways it has similar problems. Unlike C, JS has memory safety and concurrency wouldn’t break that. Concurrent programming is a lot easier if you can’t corrupt the heap. Like C, JS has some “global” variables like RegExp.lastMatch (C has errno) that need to be made into thread-locals. My proposal includes thread locals so it would be easy to make lastMatch into a getter that loads from a thread local.
