> But going to the library to check for instructions for homework? People have done that for hundreds of years.

You don't check out anything, you use a computer on-site to view instructions. Libraries as a place of distribution function fundamentally differently than libraries as internet cafes. Even if your job hours overlap with almost all library hours, you still have the weekend to go to a library and check out books that can be used all week. Internet access from the library is only available while at the library. Our library is nice enough to have (and be able to afford) extended hours on Wednesday, so they are open until 8 PM, otherwise they close at 5 or 6 each day. Good luck using it on other weekdays if you have traditional work hours. Need to respond to an email regarding a prospective new job? I'm sure they won't mind if you take a few days to get back to them...

> I fail to see how going to a library means "much harder to lead a normal life". Personally, I would go insane without internet.

The context is people criticizing the poor for owning a smartphone. Not only does it solve the internet access problem, but it's probably cheaper, even with the phone cost, than a computer plus separate internet service, since the alternative is not no phone, but a dumb phone (which isn't free).
Olin alumni here. First of all this is an incredible survey of what Oliners have been able to achieve so far! Huge thanks to Lee & others for putting this together.

I've been a huge fan of Olin's educational model and am proud to have turned down Stanford to go there. From the very first day you get to Olin, you're immediately immersed in a collaborative, figure-it-out-together, project-based environment where failure happens and there's no ceiling to the scope of what you can do.

They also try harder than any curriculum I've seen to really ingrain the importance of an entrepreneurial mindset and user-centered design thinking throughout the program. For example, all sophomores are required to take a set of design classes that forces you (though much struggling) to emphasize the viability and desirability, not just the feasibility, of everything you do. Most classes make you to orally present and really communicate your ideas to an intentionally skeptical audience.

By the time you graduate, many begin to realize how well this actually prepares you to not just make cool things, but also structurally think about what people want and how to realistically make it viably work in the real world.

The tech industry notices as well. Oliners have had an extremely strong tract record, particularly in product management programs, at most of the big companies. If you're a PM at Google, Facebook, or Microsoft, you likely know an Oliner, which given a graduating class 80ish, is pretty good reach. Big company PM programs are also not foreigners to producing a lot of entrepreneurs and I've found many of the skills we were taught in college come around again and again in this industry. These skills are also highly prized by places like HBS, where a disproportionate number of Oliners also find themselves right after graduating.

Right now, we definitely play the law-of-small-numbers game. The school is very new (first class was 2006) and the class sizes intentionally small. The size is limited to ensure Olin can continue to be a laboratory for education pedagogy. Over time, however, I'm definitely optimistic this trend will only continue and I'm prod to have known several of the people mentioned in this article.

I've mostly seen this with occultists and LBGT community, though I have seen a few artists do the same just to keep fans and intimate folks separate. Understandable, since simply saying one has had a bad day at work can be taken as a personal insult by some (I've seen it happen).

Thanks for that explanation, that makes a lot of sense. See, if that had been included in the original article, I would've grasped it much more quickly, instead of being left wondering if Redux is implementing this pattern or I'm missing an obvious difference, and I'm sure it would've helped others too.
The other commenter was talking about "all correspondence" with the school and you changed that to mean "do occasional homework".

>I fail to see how going to a library means "much harder to lead a normal life".

In the context of a modern education, you don't think having home internet access is a huge advantage (versus having to visit a library)?

Bitcoin is not "better" than fiat currencies, it's worse in every way except for the fact that it is not operated by a central authority. In terms of convenience, security, and ease of use it is clearly worse. The world does need a "back channel" currency, and bitcoin is a perfect fit for this, but it will never move beyond that because there's simply no reason for the masses to use it.
Hey HN folks,

I'm Julien, CTO at OPEXMedia. We have been working hard for the past two years on USE Together, a collaborative screen sharing solution: each user has his own mouse cursor appearing on your screen and can interact with your apps in real time, making you feel you are no more alone on your desktop! We have made it super easy to join a screen sharing session, from a simple web browser (Chrome and Firefox supported for now) without installing any software nor any plugin. We have also implemented hardware encoding (NVIDIA GPUs supported) to bring you a fast, low latency screen sharing experience as if you were physically in front of the screen.

We have seen many potential use cases for USE Together like:

- Easy remote working

- Project reviewing

- Co-designing on Illustrator

- Fixing some Powerpoint presentations

- Pair programming, we even used the solution to develop it (when it was mature enough) and to do code reviewing (then an infinite loop occured)!

USE Together is available right now, as a free beta opened to all! You can share a Windows desktop (Mac and Linux support coming later) with 2 people. Just for you HN folks, I'll upgrade your account if you want to invite more people on your screen, just ask :)

There's a lot of posts mentioning that a scan shouldn't cause any trouble, however there's no way of knowing how the services are configured on the other end, or how they are set up to respond to certain packet types, or how the server will respond to certain data within those packets if said data does not conform to expected lengths etc. A lot of assumptions are made that non-conforming data will be ignored in a closed proprietary system, and that the system will handle all packets across all protocols gracefully. Anyone who says sending packets to a port running an unknown service (or implementation of said service) can't cause any issues with the service is throwing quite a wide net. Running a port scan or trying to interface with any of the systems on an aircraft while it's in flight without knowing how the systems operate or interact with each other is incredibly irresponsible, if not downright stupid.
Which is partly due to their actual problem solving strategy. Instead of fix the problem with X 3.4, they bought the company that makes Y so they could use that solution. But Y has it's own problems of course. And even if it didn't X should have just been developed along with something like Y. Though it's unlikely that X was even made by IBM anyways.
Ah damn!

Could you confirm your version number and your node version please?

For Version Number: npm list -g weebg

For Node Version: node -v

I believe this could be because this functionality was implemented in node version 7.x, At least that's where i remember encountering this issue

If possible could you make an issue on github so we can clarify it there, this article has no link to the project unfortunately :)

Thanks again for the continued support in trying to get this to work! I broke it completely with a recent push because I was using a global request module instead of adding one to the actual project.

Outside testers are fantastic!

Thanks again@
Maybe if you do it.

If I do it, I don't think it's in my best interest to announce it like that.
> OpenJDK happened on May 8, 2007, that's 10 years ago and you've got companies like Red Hat and IBM collaborating on it. By comparison .NET Core was released 2016, so that's 9 years later.

You're comparing unequal things. OpenJDK was a community effort, while .NET Core is maintained primarily by Microsoft themselves. The correct comparison would be to .NET's community based alternative, which is Mono. Mono in turn had it's initial release in June 30, 2004, which is _13 years ago_, and 3 years before OpenJDK itself.

Further, note that Oracle only open sourced Java a year after Microsoft did .NET Core. One might even argue that Oracle only did so _because_ of .NET Core.

I'll note that I'm replying because I'm getting tired of Oracle's marketing campaigns on this forum.
> One wonders what Estonia, or its government, has to gain from this, though.

As a guess, it's due to the threat to Estonia from Russia, which includes Russian cyber attacks and propaganda. Russia has used propaganda operations very effectively in Europe and the U.S. If the U.S. has trouble protecting itself, imagine Estonia's situation.

In response to the same issue, earlier this year (IIRC) I read about a similar call for government oversight of Internet publication by someone high in the UK government (but I didn't hear about it again after that).
As I get older it gets much much harder to feel stupid at something new when you know what it feels like to be very good at something else. This I feel is the key reason people stop picking up new skills, it feels miserable to be back at a beginner level and so much more satisfying to do something you’re proficient at.

However, if you can recognize this and reset your expectations then you will probably find you have extensive general skills to bring to bear around learning and self discipline. Those skills will make the actual learning process overall much quicker compared to learning your first few major skills, it just might not feel like it.
As a pet owner who keeps their cats clean, their litter box clean, and their house smelling clean, pet deposits piss me right off.

Any tenant has the potential to be a filthy person. Hoarding, not cleaning, not reporting bug issues/plumbing/needed repairs, etc. - Being a landlord is taking that risk and hedging by doing renter interviews and taking deposits.

The majority of pet owners manage their pets properly, just like the majority of people are reasonably clean and responsive to building issues. Normal wear and tear is covered by deposits or else is the cost of doing business.

Pet rent and pet deposits are, in my opinion, a recently-accepted method of increasing deposits and rent through additional line-items. Might as well have "child rent".

Correct.

Yeah but you can do well on the AP calculus exam without understanding limits, if you can calculate derivatives and solve some word problems related to derivatives.

Hence, the gap between "5 year old calculus" and "high school calculus" is smaller than the gap between "high school calculus" and "actual calculus"
Each one of your cases can be debunked. Stocks only have value when SEC deems that it can have value. There are people who would love to live in a cold climate for whom land in a warm climate has no value. BMW costs more than Honda because people are willing to pay that much for it, which is how BMW sets the price.

All of your cases are about subjective value. Take out the buyer with personal interests on the other side of the transaction and see if it has any value.

A good test is to take what you think has value and move 10000 years into the future or the past and consider if everyone you encounter will value it. Do you think it will have value? If not, then no, it doesn't have any 'objective' value.

Yes, there are many confounding factors and sources of uncertainty on both sides -- here are a few I can think of:

* memory isn't accounted for

* FLOP per activation is estimated at 100

* neurons can vary by a factor of ~1000 in how much energy they require to activate, based on their size and speed

* ATP: I'm not really sure what to make of the energy here; I used 30kJ / mol. Wikipedia says "The hydrolysis of ATP into ADP and inorganic phosphate releases 30.5 kJ/mol of enthalpy, with a change in free energy of 3.4 kJ/mol."[1] What's the efficiency of our digestive & recharging systems -- maybe 5% - 30%?

Olin alumni here. Having Babson nearby definitely added to my experience. I was intensely interested in entrepreneurship during school, and took several Babson classes.

They're definitely very different and independent schools, however. While I have several friends from Babson, my social & professional life has drifted away from there. Of the companies mentioned in the article a handful of them (like Big Belly) are the results of fruitful Olin-Babson collaborations. The majority of companies that come out of the two schools, however, have had less cross-campus collaboration than I think many would like.

Bitcoin appears to be turning into a relatively standard commodity arbitrage market (in the real world sense of arbitrage not the academic sense). The article is right to compare to gold in this sense.

People seem to get caught up on the word "value" and then rush to defend Bitcoin's use cases and unique technology as making it valuable. I don't think it's a diss when people say Bitcoin has no fundamental value. A thing having use cases or unique properties is not what "value" means in an exchange market sense. "Fundamental value" is also known as "intrinsic value" and is based on the BUILT IN return potential of an asset. So stocks and bonds have an intrinsic value because they generate a return, based on dividends or interests rates they pay.

A thing is only worth what someone will give you for it. So EVERY value needs to be in terms of something else.

An ounce of Gold, 1 bitcoin, 1 US dollar, have NO intrinsic value because you can hold them forever and they will never pay you a dividend or make a coupon payment on their own. Gold has a few practical uses in jewelry and industry but that's not why it's important. Bitcoin and the dollar have ZERO "value" beyond being a place to store something else's value. Well back in the day a dollar in the bank might earn you a small interest rate but hello 21st century. Bitcoin doesn't even offer an interest rate. Gold is not a good long term investment. But Gold is good to have in case of emergency. I imagine bitcoin will be similar. Bitcoin and gold COST you money to own them. The people who make money off gold are the miners and then forever after the banks and security companies who store physical gold for you at great expense. Bitcoin should be similar in this sense as Bitcoin can create a spread income over the energy costs and the transaction fees it generates every 10 minutes.

My guess is since 90% of the bitcoins that will ever be mined will be mined within the next 2-3 years. And there will be lost coins. So maybe 15 million coins will be around long term and that number will slowly shrink. The fees will start to be more important.

I don't think Bitcoin is a Ponzi scheme. Bitcoin has a ton of great uses and tech features. And most importantly it has signaling properties. While Bitcoin is unlikely to be the main digital currency people on a daily basis as the 1 MB limit does appear to cause issues. It would be very bad for all digital currencies if bitcoin went away.
>If people stopped believing in America, the dollar would go.

Interesting, considering that the purchasing power of the dollar has been long in decline. It holds its place against other currencies, but with dollars you can't buy as much stuff/assets today as you could yesterday.

Based on what shows up on the front page, I'd say the average reader is way more likely to be familiar with Redux than the actor model.

I never said Redux dictated the standard, I simply asked for the differences, and if it weren't for boobsbr's response, I'd be stuck in a state where I don't know how close Redux was to this model which is quite important to get context and understanding.

If you criticize people like this for not knowing what came first, then it's no wonder people feel like that because you'd never give them the opportunity to learn about the lineages. Instead, people will simply think "oh this looks like an interesting paradigm, maybe I'll consider using it in my next project" without realizing that they're already using it.

.NET is far beyond Java as a platform for building languages though, and it's been that way right from the start. Reified generics, value types, structs, unsigned integer type support, intermediate language actually optimized for compilation. It's pretty nice.

For some reason Java people have a near allergic reaction to it though.
