Isn't your inbox with tagging enough to give you an overview and when they're just simple questions you can quickly answer?

Aside from that, Trello is quite lightweight. You can forward emails to it which get turned into cards. It can be difficult to get clients to move to your preferred system though if they find e.g. phoning or emails more convenient for them.

As a side note (not to you particularly--I see this a lot), you can't delete a comment once a reply is made in order to preserve context to the replies. This is probably for people like me, who come after the replies are written.

With this in mind, why side-step the inability to delete your comment by just replacing it with something else? It's technically allowed, but isn't that against the spirit of the original rule?

You wouldn’t even need a terabyte if you didn’t mind comparing against every hash to find the right one. 16 bytes/number at 10 billion numbers is only 160 billion bytes (160 GB). Store the hashes one after another in a flat binary file, then `i` in `file[16*i]` is your number.

If you included the 10 byte phone number, that only adds 100 GB. Then just store each entry as a 26 byte hash/number struct sorted by hash.

> From your tone, I'm guessing you're not a Tesla owner. You're right, in that it is not your problem. If you wish to ensure it remains not your problem, don't buy a Tesla.

Except that's not an option for most people, because their taxes are used to subsidize Tesla. If you're a working American you've already bought a part share in a Tesla, you just don't get to drive one.
Indeed, and we will probably have another bubble or two. Or perhaps an infinite number, if society lasts forever.

Does that mean we should shun and shame this new technology? Doing so would seem—to me at least—to be something that's really not in the spirit of HN.

This isn't directly about cryptocurrencies. I think it's more about, at least for me, the fact that a technology as promising, useful, and technically impressive as Bitcoin / the blockchain is being trivialized to such a high degree recently.

It's being exploited by capitalists who don't fully understand the tech or its implications but who see a way to make some quick cash.

Couple all of this with the fact that the market is becoming extremely saturated with various coins, and bad management / corruption leading to fracturing of the Bitcoin blockchain, and you may start to see a problem developing. Bitcoin needs public adoption in order to prevail. It needs cohesion. It is losing ground on both fronts every day.

It's becoming clear that Bitcoin itself will not survive if Bitcoin Core continues to mix up their priorities and support / engage in vitriolic public discourse with those who think differently. But cryptocurrency tech itself is such a powerful idea, it really has the chance to revolutionize how we think about and use money.

Yet that won't happen as long as the general public, whose support is needed, is distracted and scared away by all of the different coins on the market, the controversy around Core / SegWit, or even worse, they see it as something completely trivial and useless thanks to the myriad of pointless coins being passed around to idiots who want to get in on the tulip mania.

It's hard not to notice the bubble if you're paying attention. My hope is just that, after the bubble pops, something is left. Something that can evolve into a dependable, ubiquitous, cohesive technology that improves ours lives in the ways we dream it can.

So I'm a New Zealander who lives in Australia: I'm incredibly biased; but the best "hits" that are an absolute spectacle to watch in Rugby Union for me are the perfectly executed tackles, with zero head contact between the players and usually the ball carrier doesn't hit their head on the turf -- now Union still has a lot of the same risks and damage done to players so it's not perfect, but I find the difference between what's considered a "great hit" between the two kind of interesting.

Also, the biggest tackles I experienced playing first-grade union for the Gold Coast dolphins (before I stopped to become a referee) didn't hurt! A perfectly executed powerful tackle stops you in your tracks, looks amazingly impressive, but was reasonably safe.

You're much more likely to get a head injury from either an illegal tackle (that'd result in a red card, removal from the game and a "trial" of sorts before a tribunal) or from being at the bottom of a ruck and being stepped/stomped on
Those are ends (incentives), not means. And better customer service is a means, not an end.

Presumably, Google doesn't care much about customer service in this instance, because they have a monopoly on app distribution, and therefore customer service won't meaningfully increase sales. Presumably.
As an immigrant (from a non-Western society) who also spent youth steeped in Western literature, arts, and music, every development after WWI just seems so sad.

There's the moral self-loathing (veering towards self-flagellation) of the 'social justice' class, the academic anti-truth of the relativists and the post-modernists, the equally poisonous know-nothingism of parts of the right.

Western civilization still lives in the long shadow cast by Europe tearing itself apart not just once, but twice in the span of a generation.
The web server doesn't matter since it isn't processing the regex. It's the application server that is being tied up. If you're using a multi-threaded application server, it would eventually get bogged down. See https://www.owasp.org/index.php/Regular_expression_Denial_of... linked from the original article.
The biggest issue is precisely concerning the definition of "numerical properties". Here are some "numerical properties:"

5
-0
"3"
3.0
4294967294

But these are not "numerical properties:"

"-0"
-1
"3.0"
4294967295

Which means that, when setting a property on an array, you must attempt to parse the object in a very peculiar way so that you can make a decision about iteration order, and whether to adjust the length property.

I'm shocked by that. I had a Honda Fit for five years with about 50,000 miles, besides smog tests and getting new tires I never had to take it to a shop. I would expect more up-market brands to have even better reliability. Is this common that cheaper cars have better maintenance, or was I lucky?

Open Letter from Industry Leaders on DACA
I have a distaste for exploiting the vulnerable, which is most certainly what's occurring here.

ICO's offer people investment opportunities to people who for numerous reasons couldn't invest in anything before.

That's a wonderful thing with educated investors prepared for the risk, but what some of these companies are pulling is modern day snake oil.

I'm not just talking about shady types, plenty of respectable people acting poorly for quick money. YC is in on it too with filecoin, history will be the judge and I hope all involved are remembered.

Go read some of the ico forums, ask yourself whether these people are stealing from underage children. Please.
Yup, with bindgen and rusty-cheddar you can build interfaces both ways that just talk over a C ABI. It's really, really nice.

In fact Rust in general is awesome for going to a wide range of platforms. I've got a project right now that runs on MSVC-x64/x86, Linux-x64, OSX-x64, Android-armv7, Android-x86, Linux-armv7 and Emscripten. Single codebase and interacting with various languages(C#, C++, Java) via the C ABI. Rust even cross-compiles my C source via GCC crate so I can use C libraries and build for any of those targets from my host(win32) machine.

Also, having just spent a few hours fucking around with linker flags in Qt I can't stress enough how awesome Cargo, Crates.io, Rustup and the sane defaults Rust has. It really is an incredible ecosystem.
>Not sure why it is pathetic because you can always bring people in who are interesting in listening.

"The government has banned congregating, and one of the people you're meeting with in secret is a mole who is going to rat you out to the government anyways. There is also a network of listening equipment installed in various properties to monitor citizen behavior."

That isn't fantasy, it has really happened in some societies. The point is, if the society you're part of does not value freedom of speech, it can be squashed. One can speak their mind, but with the threat of dire consequences, their mouth remains shut, and their "right to free speech" suppressed. If a right is suppressed, who is burdened with protecting that right? No one? Is the above example of an oppressive society acceptable with the concept of free speech being a negative right? If so, the concept of negative rights is useless in a realistic context, as it is merely being pedantic and does not actually offer a better alternative. With a bar so low, terrible outcomes become "acceptable".

Typically free speech means you can speak your mind in a public forum without fear of harm. This includes dissenting views of the current government. While others may actually attempt to harm you, laws are in place to make those parties potentially reconsider taking such actions.

>The constitution and courts. If both those options fail it is reasonable to pick up arms against the government too.

Maintaining a constitution and court system is of no burden to anyone? So your form of free speech requires the forced service of judges and legislators? If arms are required, who is to provide them? Are you going to force gunsmiths to provide everyone with a gun?
I'm not very concerned about the 99% of these startups/cryptocurrencies that will inevitably fail. It's a given that most of them will not be successful.

It would be foolish, however, to assume that there won't be a handful of these startups that go on to actually change the world in a big way. Bitcoin, arguably, is already quite far along in that regard.
The proxy suggestion seems to have merit though, it would still give advertisers the ability to run auctions, track users and ad views, etc, while avoiding domain filtering.

OTOH I suspect ad blockers would adapt quickly... it's not clear it would be worth the investment to set up.
IMO the way to solve this is a single-click "pay this tiny amount to keep reading" UI.

Now that Amazon's one-click checkout patent has expired this is actually legally viable.

Yes, research has suggested that a number of smaller collisions can cause damage even if a player never suffers an actual concussion. A helmet also only protects you from external trauma. It acts as a second skull. But the problem isn't always from external trauma. If you are moving at speed and you are put to an immediate stop due to a collision with another player, your entire body experiences a lot of force. Your brain will end up colliding with the inside of your skull due to inertia regardless of whether you were hit in the head or not. That is why simply cutting headshots out of the game or removing helmets won't be enough to protect players. It really gets down to the fundamental nature of football and the physics of its collisions.
I am surprised people are trying to poke holes in this article. You're arguing with data. This isn't an extrapolation or a estimate, this is numbers based on actual use. You can say you don't think it will work like this for you, or you don't think Tesla has good service, but clearly for at least one set of people they are getting a massive ROI by buying Tesla's.

Here in Australia, mining is definitely on the list of "high paying jobs people aspire to", especially for those where education is a limiting factor; and even then, the pay can be excellent, and it can be fascinating work and some of the positions require advanced degrees or training as well.
> Does that mean we should shun and shame this new technology?

You're inventing a straw-man. It's not the technology that is being primarily shunned or shamed in this thread. It wasn't the technology being shamed during the most extreme quarters of the dotcom bubble either.

It's the extreme valuations, backed with no products at all, that is being ridiculed. Properly so.
You're assuming that everyone investing is an idiot. I doubt that's the case. Sure, some people might make poor decisions, but I think that's the minority. Most people are doing their research, and even if they aren't, they would learn quickly that you should never invest more than you're willing to lose.

As an aside, I wouldn't touch Filecoin (due to the VC taint), but Sia looks promising.

Its very disheartening that Silicon Valley would promote such lifestyles. As a tech worker outside the US, US has always seemed more promising than the rest of the world when it comes to innovations and myriad number of opportunities to realize dreams.

So far I had been whining about how we have really bad inherent work cultures here in Japan. Its a norm for everyone to work overtime : 9am to 10pm is extremely normal. "Hardworking" guys send emails at 2 am and next day when I check my inbox, I'm somewhere burdened if my boss would expect the same of me. Clearly no one here understands that longer hours != more productivity.

If the pioneer locations in the industry were to promote such culture, I wonder if countries like Japan would ever grow out of its current mindset validating their methods even more so.

> Somehow, very quickly, search results stopped showing the original story at all.

I strongly suspect I saw this happen in realtime in late 2013 and early 2014 when Snowden's documents were being disclosed every few weeks by The Guardian, The Washington Post, Der Spiegel, etc.

I was curious how the story was being reported on and interpreted by the traditional (non-technical) media. I wanted a general sense of how well the "slow drip" strategy was working, if the original disclosures were being reported on with a reasonable accuracy, or even if anybody even cared at all. For about 8-10-ish months I made a habit of spending a few minutes each morning skimming the results of basic searches for "nsa", "snowden", etc on Google's main search as a simple /search?q=$term request, and again with the "Past 24 hours" and "Past week" features. I would also check the same search terms on Google News.

Most of the time it there were no surprises: e.g. The Post publishes an important document from Snowden's archive in a detailed article that attempts to explain the underlying tech to a general audience. The other large players in the traditional media quickly followup with articles that add a layer of indirection, cut out all the technical explanations that don't fit into a sound byte. It didn't take long for that process to devolve into lots of clickbait headlines for articles that generally lacked technical - or legal - details. My point here is that this process generally followed a fairly consistent process as the original disclosure diffused into clickbait.

However, on two (perhaps three?) occasions, I noticed a story still early in that process. I know at least one of those involved Google specifically. While chasing pointers back to the original disclosure article and opening a new browser window for for the usual test searches, I noticed Firefox was becoming annoyingly slow and leaking memory like it always did. After restarting the browser and reloading the test searches... every trace of the story was gone. The articles themselves became 404s a few minutes/hours later.

Unfortunately, I have no useful evidence. I was "just" informally skimming headlines to get a general sense of the reporting, so by the time I finally realized I should have been recording everything I had already missed the interesting stuff. It's hearsay, but I am very certain I saw articles suddenly vanish from Google search and Google news after restarting Firefox and pressing F5 on several tabs.
This reminds me of that time I asked in an economics class how you make money. In the case of Ford he pays his workers who turn around and give it back to him? So you need money coming in from external sources right ie. Other countries.

What I was asking about is the process of taking something that costs x and charging 3x to make the profit. Where does the 2X come from doesn't that result in debt. I understand you're paying for time that you didn't spend/resources. But it's like swishing water around in a bucket right without external input?

Probably a dumb question but also doesn't help my professor barely spoke English and I stuttered over the word "Inevitably" haha
Some startups will grow very large and become very valuable and will stay around for a long time.

No cryptocoins will be around for a long time. They are all going to crash to near worthlessness, including Bitcoin and Ethereum.

Also the idea of Webvan was not a bad one, they were just too early. People put too much money in too early to a good idea.

Cryptocoins are not an idea before its time or of its time. It is inherently a worthless thing. Just like quack medicine was worthless a century ago and is worthless now.
In a sense, they solve the cycle problem in Rust. The trick is that once something is allocated to an arena, it has the same lifetime as the whole arena, and that allows cyclical links because none of the nodes "outlive each other".

However, you must have interior mutability (achieved using Cell types), because otherwise you can't mutate the parent nodes to add links to child nodes.

Check the typed arena crate in crates.io and the Cell type in the standard library.
Middle click works for me but there is a noticable delay after the page loads until the content loads. That wouldn't be there with plain html.
>and just complaining about it being a "bubble" doesn't add any value to the conversation.

Yeah but that is the kind of thing they said during the housing bubble and the dotcom bubble before that, then after those bubbles all the media and experts had the same talking point...no one saw this coming

What more do you want added to the conversation? Bold predictions, that will inevitably be true? That is a little hard to do and actually detracts from the known truth, still I'll bite. As many of the experts who missed the other bubbles are pointing toward charts suggesting a market correction/crash, many are pointing to crypto as a way to protect their money, my guess is barriers to crypto ownership will continue to lower allowing early investors to cash out a little but control supply to raise the price, and then when enough of the crypto market is distributed across uneducated investors...boom the remainder of early investors and investor money pulls out and all that value created by nothing more than belief disappears and reality appears. It costs nothing to start a new blockchain with a new cryptocurrency, there is no real value in Bitcoin or even Ethereum/Ether, the idea of smart contracts as a tool to replace lawyers and courts was just marketing effort to keep the good times rolling with no basis in reality.

Those valuations don't really mean that much. It's simply number_of_coins * price. Saying it's worth $1bn does not mean you can take all of those coins and turn them in for $1bn. If you owned a large portion of the coins and tried to liquidate them at that price, the price would quickly drop.

Big difference: when you invest in a startup, you get equity and certain rights. The founders can't screw you too easily.

With an ICO, you don't get any equity - you only get to use a service, maybe, in the future. Most ICOs are therefore only a speculation.
They are also assuming everybody is losing. I'd be willing to bet that this value creation and investing accessibility has lifted more people than it has hurt.
