well yeah there were some demand for snack boxes from customers who were keen on Japanese chocolates and confectionaries like Pocky, Glico as well as exotic chip flavors from Asia. interestingly, there was even a request for a ramen box. it's not something we've written off entirely, it's definitely something my business partner and i still discuss from time to time. if you genuinely are interested in a savory box, drop me an email at sales@supercandyshop.com. i'd be willing to start that new line if there is even a single interested subscriber. i will make sure there's no ramen haha.

> Why does HN have such a distaste for cryptocurrencies?

Most charitably, because blockchain currencies don't solve any useful problem.

As has been aptly demonstrated by the by the Vinnick arrest, they are far from anonymous. And, has been aptly demonstrated by the recent Bitcoin Cash fork, blockchain currencies don't have distributed, immutable trust. So, a bitcoin currency isn't anonymous and is subject to a central authority who has enough power. And, all the while, it has all the downsides of cash (non-repudiable, stealable, etc.)

Explain to me again what the advantage of a cryptocurrency is?

> Why can't we just have an intelligent conversation about this new technology?

Because nobody really cares about the technology. If they cared you would see discussion about more articles like these:

"Blockchain could fix a key problem in China’s food industry: the fear of food made in China"

Instead, you see crypto-currency speculation over ... and over ... and over.

First, I have a little anecdote about that. I was at a summer camp where we were taking game programming classes. I had been programming for longer than the other students, so I would help them out. One of my peers asked me for help with a part of his program. In the course of that, I noticed that he had written “if (x == 1 || 2 || 3 || …)” in another part of his code, and explained that this condition would always be true (in C++). He became defensive and dismissed me, saying “nah, I tried it and it works”…because he had only been trying the success cases. It absolutely infuriated me!

Anyway, IIRC that pattern is called “conjunction reduction”: “foo equals bar and foo equals baz” becoming “foo equals bar and baz”.

The term you might be thinking of is “right node raising”[1], which is when the elements of a conjunction “share” the stuff that follows them, as in “bar equals, and baz equals, foo”.

> They are all going to crash to near worthlessness, including Bitcoin

Why?

That's not true. Coins do things you can't do otherwise. Instant peer to peer value transfer over the internet for example.
He aha te mea nui o te ao?

What is the most important thing in the world?
It is the people, it is the people, it is the people!

The advancement of technology and furthering of knowledge is a noble endeavor, but only in pursuit of a higher goal. Advanced technology not used, or great knowledge never applied, is of no value. It is only with a higher intention for the use of these things that they have any value at all. That higher purpose could be a number of things - The betterment of mankind, of all forms of life, of society. But something greater than the self and certainly greater than no purpose at all.

Of course, it's not possible to specifically link advancements in technology and knowledge with specific goals before the advancements are made.

What I'm curious about is: Do you view what I've said above as agreeing with your belief, or closer to the view of Jaques Ellul?

I quite like this idea. I run a basic http server with a nodejs backend. It gets ~3000 hits a month. It costs around $6 on AWS. It costs around 0.2c per request.

It would be simple to build a system that charges per use - most SaaS companies do this.

The problem is that someone is willing to pay for that content and repost it on the "free web". 99% of people will read the free version (see freemium mobile games).

While content creators agree that they would prefer to charge directly for their content, we live in the attention economy. This means if you don't make yourself hyper accessible then people will go to other places to get their dopamine hit.
Shiiit. Brilliant. I am the type who keeps windows of tabs upon windows of tabs open forever, throughout a project or complicated task for weeks at a time, specifically because I make windows the container of purpose, and hate trying to deal with folders of bookmarks. This is fantastic.

The cynicism isn't about the technology, or the possibilities that might emerge from the ashes after the mania and subsequent crypto-recession are over. The cynicism is about every charlatan who can fork a repo, put together a web page, a "whitepaper", and a bunch of dorky headshots, collecting millions of dollars for nothing more than a story.

That said, I'd like to invite you all to the ICO for my new coin, PNZ. The way it works is simple. I guarantee double your money for every 3 people you convince to invest. Stay tuned for the whitepaper explaining the math.

Yep, I think so too. Indian here also, living in US. Other phrases our peeps utter, similiar to 'uhms' are 'you know' and 'yaa?'. A couple of off-shore peeps I was dealing with were doing this in every other sentence and it was very distracting on our conference calls.

I've never liked those things that popped up but, as I was reading I thought I'd definitely go for it if I had something like a digital wallet in the browser that I could preload with a balance and simply use to pay for websites like that with one click.

Doing a quick google search hasn't shown anything like that. Does anyone know if a browser extension or something like this already exists?

Awesome to see that subject #1 on HN.

At my startup Confiant [1], we block bad ads in stream on behalf of publishers. Cedato aka Algovid aka TLVMedia is one of our prime targets, we block millions of their ad impressions daily.

They are essentially buying cheap display ad placements to resell them as fake video preroll ad placements. They sell on video exchanges like AOL's AdapTV and others. To maximize their yield, they resend ad requests in a loop to multiple parties every few seconds until an ad clears, leading to this massive network load.

We're on a mission to drive them out of business (and we're hiring ;) )

Even at club rugby level all of the players do neck muscle training! Even back in 2008 they were. Rugby is still dangerous, of course, but the governing bodies do take safety pretty seriously and reasonably openly, at least compared to the NFL. Besides, I prefer watching a huge perfectly executed tackle in union than I do watching two people run into each other without even attempting to get arms around them to bring them to the ground (I have issues with Leagues shoulder charges for the same reason)
I had a bmw 5 series under lease, I also could not take it to other than bmw service center and can't fix it myself ( I am sure 99% of new premium car owners don't fix their cars themselves ) and everytime I went to a bmw service center it was a minimum of 2 days. One time it took 2 weeks to get something related to electronics fixed. My friend owns Chevy Bolt and he sends it for a service almost every other month, something new keeps breaking and he is very i satisfied with his car. So every case is different I guess

Artists can and do play more. Phish in particular is pretty famous for doing multiple shows in the same venue on contiguous nights, as well as doing smaller shows in smaller towns in between larger cities as a way of spreading out demand. And their prices have always been pretty reasonable as a result. More artists should care about their fans enough to do this, but I guess it's easier to just blame greedy scalpers for the ticket prices.

The write / refresh cycle in PHP is really underrated. The same goes for it's "no state between requests" model. Both of these would be interesting to see in combination with a better language.
Sorry to hear that. And that kind of code damage sounds pretty typical from most projects I've seen in open source and heard about through people I've talked to, no matter what language these projects use. It must just be that we all learn the hard way and usually during work hours what works and what doesn't. In cases like this, Clojure can help somewhat by its saner defaults, but I've seen some really terrible Clojure code too, that has many of the same problems.

> Sure, and that can be read to mean either that they knew graphs and links were missing (e.g. because they received the memo as plaintext) or that they purposely removed them out of political or whatever motives. Isn't the former the more parsimonious assumption?

Dude... no. The "most parsimonious assumption" when someone says they are reproducing something "with modifications" is that they are perfectly well aware what modifications were made, and they most likely made it themselves.

Like when someone tells you "don't open that box", a sane person doesn't conclude "ah, chances are good he has no idea what's in the box".

> Compare that to previous bmw or range rover

Congratulations you've managed to buy two of the most unreliable brands before buying your Tesla. Both are generally known as tremendously unreliable cars (with the exception of BMW 3-series). The Range Rover in particular being known as one of those "buy two of them, one for the shop one for the garage" brands. BMW owners hide behind pre-purchased repairs being covered for 5 years via soon to be well worn warranty repairs.

If you care at all about reliability here's the rules:

- Do you want mechanical problems? Buy American, French or British/Indian brands

- Do you want Electrical problems? Buy German or Northern European brands

- Do you want none of the above? Buy consumer Japanese brands and avoid the Luxury brands except for Lexus. Korean cars are a close second.

- Do you want all of the above? buy a Jeep or an Italian car.

If only there was some place potential buyers could search for car reliability information.
That's not the reason, it's ad fraud. They are most likely paid on CPC (cost per click) and forcing clicks in a hidden iframe. Or they are "stuffing cookies" for an affiliation link, betting that you might buy on that store later on - and getting a commission out of it.
I'd say this is not true. The doctor from the movie "Concussion" said that Rugby, most martial arts, and lacrosse are all sports that need massive modification for those under 18. Adults can make their own decisions, he said, but these sports are demonstrably bad for brain-safety.
I still think the most obvious cause wasn't political bias, but laziness. What they published was what you would get with "Select All" "Copy" "Paste"

> we're trying to teach computers with frozen cases (MNIST, Imagenet, etc.) when the real problem is training them on actual situations

They are training AI agents on simulators, which are dynamic datasets as opposed to ImageNet which is a "frozen" dataset).

> we need to figure out how to give computers a Dasein.

Google and the whole AI community have been hard on the Reinforcement Learning bangdown. RL is based on situating an agent in the environment (real world or sim) where it learns to interact and achieve goals. That's situated AI.

My intuition is that simulators are key to the next AI phase - where a neural net would be like a scientist creating new hypothesis and experiments, and the simulator would be like a lab, testing out those ideas (simulation + MC search + neural nets)
If I understand correctly, I don't think an A record is necessary if you're just using the domain for email.

I only use mine for email. I have an A record but that just results in a 'No page found' page hosted by my DNS provider. Without the A record my email would still work but browsing to k45j.com would give a 'This site can’t be reached' the same way encona.com
> it would still be useful to have a standard way to signal that this content wasn't created by the organization who owns the domain.

Do you think the assumption that the content was created by the organization who owns the domain should be default? Wouldn't it be better for the organization to provide a signature for the content it did create?
Didn't read the article before commenting. ;)

When I saw the title, I assumed it was another article on the Open Markets thing too. But the article is a totally different story.
Yes. Upmarket brands are known to be plagued with various electrical and "feature" problems that don't bother other cars - the lone exception appears to be Lexus, which tends to rate about as high as Toyotas.

But Acuras tend to be less reliable than Hondas

Infinities tend to be less reliable than Nissans

and so on.

Basically, fewer moving parts means better reliability in general. In addition, lower level cars are much cheaper to repair for various reasons.

At the risk of a downvote, let me try to understand the situation here,
A gives money to B for research. B uses that money to fund C and C tells the world that A is shit and its destruction is to be celebrated.
A is obviously furious and decides not giving money to B anymore. B decides to cut off ties with C to save funding from A. Now C cries fowl and A is super bad to try to cut off funding to B and C.

ISPs are not Google-scale. Comcast's damage to society is unlikely to extend beyond the United States, and US politics is prone to change every four years anyways. (Also note that Google is expected to take the #1 lobbying spending spot away from Comcast this year.) Google is a worldwide threat, that not only is evil, but is much better at hiding how evil they are.

Consider the fact that Google is, bare minimum, as evil as Comcast. But if you grab a handful of people and ask what their opinions of each company is, they will be vastly different. The fact that Google is so good at manipulating the press, as seen in this very story, is why they are such a massive threat.

If you want some tree way model to learn, you can start:

1- studying the difference types of transistor ( bipolares -> NPN, PNP; unipolares -> MOSFET, JFET). How they works, how you can build logic with them.

2 - Understanding the simple ports ( or, and, not, xor), how they works, how they are build with transistors. Learn the method of Karnaugh.

3 - Learn some circuits like the differents type of flipflops, ULA, Mux, Demux, registers. Asynchronous and Synchronous system.

4 - Learn how state machine works, the Moore and Mealy models.

5 - Study the Data and Control Path of a CPU. You can do some dedicated circuits.

6 - Learn some Design hardware language like Verilog or VHDL, and implement your circuits from step 5.

7 - Learn the MIPS processor, and add some news instructions.

8 - Use your modified MIPS to build some microcontroller design, with PIC and others devices.

9 - You can keep walking from here...

PS.:
- From step 3 to 5 you can use a software called Logisim to build your logiv circuits .
- From step 6 to 9 you can use any VHDL/Verilog IDE. some companies has good ones like Freescale and Altera.
