It's hard for me to get bent out of shape about salaries for public employees. Most of them do shit work, at shit pay, for many years -- and if a few of them accrue enough overtime and holiday pay to make very good money in their last few years of employment, and therefore secure a good pension, then I'm not about to argue it should be taken away from them. Lord knows that if you broke down the budget of NYC (~ $85 billion annually) what these guys are making probably barely puts a dent in it.

In general, I hate this crabs-in-a-bucket mentality to how we fund (or don't) public services and the social safety net. Every teacher, police officer, paramedic, and sanitation worker -- the people who keep society functional and healthy -- should be getting this kind of money! And if you look at it jealously because your private-sector job (perhaps as a NY Post hack?) would never get you nearly that much, then maybe you, too, should unionize and agitate for better pay. I mean, you should probably do that anyway, regardless of what teachers and cops get paid, but that's for another thread.

If it costs the government more money to pay these salaries, with increased taxes to go along with that, then I'm fine with that. These services are available to anyone and everyone, for everyone's benefit. This (from my experience, especially but not only American) need to moan and complain about every dollar of tax paid, or (if you're rich enough) pay accountants and lawyers enormous sums so you don't have to pay any taxes at all -- is, frankly, unethical and contributes to the ongoing breakdown of American civil society that I have been watching for my entire life.
I'm assuming the difference being that the tokens (or crypto currencies) can be spent without payment processors or banks as middlemen. There are obvious downsides to this with fraud protection and the like. But it means money can flow without intermediaries.
That or it was a reactionary move in response to waning playerbase numbers.

I do recall a lot of people being burnt out from sov grinds on the old mechanics. For a while most sov was largely controlled by two major power blocs, so there was quite a bit of stagnation.

Interesting! I was thinking more along the lines of a web application, but it's nice to see an (actively maintained/developed?) somewhat-literal clone of Access.
The author assumes this fact: "Assuming you are in fact getting a better product for that extra money". However it's not necessarily true.

Question really is: is it a better product, making it worth to spend more on it? Spending more on something doesn't always translate to a better experience. I guess the only way to know is to try both and people switching to android are going to find out.

For instance, people spending a lot of time on their phone will benefit way more from a better battery life than from tiny good looking bezels. Having to recharge your phone during the day can be quiet frustrating.
I went through and evaluated all of the commonly mentioned open source video editors recently.

Openshot, Shotcut etc. were all unusable for one reason or another.

I would argue that's a feature not a bug: the ease with which to potentially attract support. Similar to how kickstarter functions there is a lot of community feedback in the crypto world. If you want to you can find a ton of research on various ICO projects. Finally it's up to the investor to decide. The 24/7 liquidity and global aspect helps, in that the price exploration/valuation occurs continuously without opening price gaps.

Strictly speaking of ads - what happens when someone is using VPNs, let's say because the are contracted by an american company?

I like your idea, I'm just curious how this would work? Google might find themselves in violation of the law.

What do you think?

How about a yearly national tax proportional with the amount ad buyers pay for targeting a country - the argument here is that Google, Facebook, etc. are using a national infrastructure to do their business.
I don't think so. AR kit to work effectively needs carefully factory calibrated cameras for SLAM, cheap android phones will always offer a subpar experience.
An editor can't "just do 8-bit clean", it has to display the characters. The same bytes will sometimes be displayed differently in utf-8 and (e.g.) ISO-8859-1.

I'm not sure if a BOM is a good way to handle it, but saying 'just do 8-bit clean' doesn't work when you're displaying or printing the characters for humans to understand.

No, Bitcoin valuation is fine! Until some better crypto - which will really solve scalability problem - replaces it.

What's not fine is that all or nearly all 'entrepreneurial' activity in blockchain space is aimed at pulling money out of pockets of clueless people, presenting it as 'investment', but really gambling. People who are building nearly all projects just know they aren't going to even start building anything, they are just after collecting money. Those limited who do, have no chance because their tokens will inevitably collapse too once this Ponzi scheme explodes, people will just sell every kind of shitcoin when they know it was a scam, and even 'investors' in those who aren't scams, will inevitably lose money too.
One small thing that bothers me is the upvote button that looks too much like a button to (un)fold comments, especially when you can't downvote and therefore don't have any downvote button.

I just discovered that there is a [-] to (un)fold comments by the way.
I would probably just have swapped the positions and use less confusing icons.

Another thing is the occasional blocks of code that are too wide and not wrapped, this requires horizontal scrolling which I find a bit annoying, especially on phones. And the text-reflow Firefox extension does not handle this, otherwise it would be a non-issue for me.

At the beginning, the appearance of HN seemed raw to me, but I got used to it and like it.

Must not be a fan of typography then. Sadly, the tech world is full of the likes of you, so even if people care, in many cases—such as dashes—they are not even aware of the alternatives. Gladly Apple has decided not to follow your ““““opinion”””” by default.
Just for interest's sake, the Kin ICO has been a fizzer compared to many other ICO's.

In the first 24 hours in which preregistered participants were eligible to buy equal amounts of tokens only 20% was sold. Now, almost at the end of day 2 during which contributions have been uncapped, around 60% of the total has sold.

Compared to other ICOs where they sell out within a minute or two, or where whitelisted participants snap up 75% on day 1, this is pretty slow. I think it probably won't reach the 75 million cap.

Here is why I didn't get involved:
1) They presold $50million tokens to polychain capital, pantera capital and blockchain capital at a 30% discount very recently. 1/2 of these tokens had no freeze and could be dumped on the market at any time. Polychain capital has already shown that they are willing to dump large amounts of tokens within days of an ICO if the price is right last month with 0x project.

2) They are offering 1 trillion tokens but minting 10 trillion, allowing them to basically dictate monetary policy. One of their employees even posted on twitter that they don't want "too much" price appreciation, and if it occurs they would intervene in the market (eg. dump more tokens into the market).

Come on. If you want me to buy your made up, meaningless, nothing token, don't take the piss by selling it at a massive discount to hedge fund dumpers, and don't tell me that you're going to control the price. If I'm going to take a dumb risk, and it is a dumb risk, I want the possibility of some upside.

I am not sure if it's still ongoing but any immaterial good you buy on a major website used to be taxed at the Luxembourg rate, which is the smallest in Europe. It's a pretty clear sign that sales are not attached to the country of the customer.
Glad I went with the older non-touchbar model. No complaints with that one.

But it does remind me of a dirty trick they pulled on me with a MacBook years ago. The hard drive failed only days before the warranty expiring, and when I took it in for a replacement they said the hard drives were out of stock (I don't believe for a second they didn't have a single 2.5" SATA drive in the entire service centre). They knew I was travelling and didn't have time to wait for several days, so they printed out an official-looking work order that I was to bring to a service centre on my next stop. Of course the work order wasn't worth the paper it was printed on and they treated it as any out-of-warranty repair.

Nice compilation, definitely some segments I don't remember seeing before.

I don't buy it. The disintermediation of travel agencies has made it easier and cheaper for me to travel. I don't want to sit on the phone with someone while they read off options to me, while extracting a fee to do so; I can figure out the options and make the decisions myself. I don't need a travel agent to tell me about the exciting places I can go; I have well-traveled friends, and travel blogs.

I feel like the travel agency bit in there actually worked against their thesis.
There is still a HUGE difference between the two.

Owning a stock entitles you to a share of current/future assets/profits of the business.

Even in the case the business is not making money you can still hope for future profits or at the very least in the remunerative sale of an asset.

And no, you don't necessarily need dividends, cash on the balance sheet is very real and there's plenty of ways it can end up in your pockets other than dividends.

As the case of the recent 'whoppercoin' for BurgerKing in Russia exemplifies, tokens also can take on the form of reward points. In a world where all of these various enterprise related token fields are 'shapeshiftable' fascinating economic incentives and dynamics emerge. Your investment in one tech project might thus allow you to eat for free for a year and if Burgers aren't healthy in your ideal world you might soon walk into a farmers market and pay electronically with tokens shifted. If everyone is a bank and investor - capitalist I guess you could say - then all of a sudden (central) banks face their 'internet moment' just like publishers, music, retailers did before them.
That has changed. Companies are now required to charge the VAT rate of the customer's country for digital goods (and have to store some data to prove that they picked the correct country).

well if you dug deep enough you would find it driven by the countries within the EU that have the stronger and more stable economies. In effect they will keep the poorer countries poor because they will be unable to provide tax incentives to gain new businesses.

a classic move branded under some guilt assuming title to prey on people's ignorance to support it.

while there may need to be limits on how sweet of deals that can be made the idea that you can "harmonize" taxes across such a diverse number of countries is unrealistic. Those large countries using this idea to protect their tax base aren't going to also turn around and bring up the poorer countries

Honestly, it is kind of scary how people on HN live in the no-FB bubble. I mean, FB is kind of optional for social life, but the universal "I deleted FB and am happy" does sound like echo chamber. Because Facebook DOES have advantages, even though more introverted people might not appreciate them as much. Especially regarding event organization:

I regularly organize big board game parties, which are attended by 10-15 people (out of ~40 invited). How easily can I invite / manage so many people without some platform like FB, which (almost, at least around me) everyone uses? And I really appreciate easy info / updates events on FB provide for e.g. info about how much food should I cook, telling people about changing time (or day! We just had poll on FB because people liked this sunday more than saturday) of the party, telling them what to bring . . . emails just wouldn't cut it, it would consume much more time, and would be really clunky. And on the other hand, people attending who DO NOT have FB, are PITA to manage, they consume literally 10times more time to keep list of, message, get the answer from . . . FB has it all in one neat (even though sometimes smelly) package.

Similarly for e.g. GoT (also boardgame) events, as exactly-six-people is pain to manage generally. For someone going to such events it also has great UX, without any hassle of mass-sms or mass-email events.

Not to mention classic FB advantages like photo-sharing, communicating with friends on the other side of the world, etc. . .

It seems to me like deleting FB is not an option if I would like to stay as social. And I am actually quite introverted too, but thanks to channeling social interaction to FB (of course no app, just mbasic.facebook.com and desktop website) and particular events I can enjoy my time alone (which is vast majority of the time) without any regrets or being left behind in my social circle.

I’ve always related whatever-coins to the stock market or foreign currency when explaining Bitcoin to people. You but low and sell high. People do that with the stock market all the time, and it’s price can somewhat be controlled through issuing and buying back stocks. Foreign currencies can be influenced by inflation.

> That said, caps to control is a great quality of life improvement for anyone that uses CTRL for anything

I agree. I've been a vim user for over a decade, but a few years ago I decided to try mapping capslock to ctrl and have never looked back. It's a much more natural place for a key that gets used as often as ctrl, while capslock is a key that is rarely used (as a matter of fact, my keymap doesn't even have a capslock at all anymore, and I haven't missed it!). Anyone who uses ctrl more often than capslock ought to give it a try, but beware:

That wouldn't work very well when people go straight in different directions...
Identity is still a huge open problem. There are blockchain projects who promise to solve it (Civic is probably the most popular).

I do not believe a blockchain will solve it. The core problem is that you need a network of trust. Currently, we have governments as trust masternodes via identity cards. Then there are secondary master nodes companies like Facebook, Google, Telekom, Vodafone, etc, where verification is easier and faster, but less reliable. How does a blockchain improve anything about it?

Here is the challenge: There is a kid born in rural Africa. How could you proof to someone with a smartphone in the US that this human being exists?
> I don't know how true that sentiment is, but it certainly feels that way. Of course, it's always possible we're just a bunch of really biased bittervets.

I'm a very bitter vet myself, so take it with a grain of salt, but you're essentially correct. Space hasn't been as empty as it is today in over a decade, if ever before. Active player numbers are in the basement and falling and CCP is now even advertising starter packs with "More weapon slots, More damage, More tank". They are removing valid complexity and gameplay options left and right to "remove developer burden" (they removed the granular sound options a while ago because "almost nobody was using them" and made the game unplayable for me and many others unless we turn sound off completely).

The EVE of today is not the EVE you once knew. It's lost its soul in favor of making as much money as possible out of an ever shrinking player base.
Any idea what in-game entity is behind that? I've been out of the loop.

I know Imperium.news used to be The Mittani and is basically a propaganda outlet for Goonswarm's power bloc.

Likewise evenews24.com at least used to be under the control of NC./PL as a more subtle propaganda outlet, but I've no idea what its deal is today.

I have to admit that when out-of-game news sites serve as a mechanism of information warfare, it speaks very well of EVE's metagame.

This post presents numerous examples of contemporary designs (>2000) with their early equivalents (<1975).

EVERY SINGLE contemporary design is credited to a company (or to "unknown").

EVERY SINGLE early design is credited to a named individual.

Isn't this part of the problem? Companies play it safe; their committees (voluntarily or not) navigate towards the known, vote for things they have seen before.

Would you hire a company to write a novel or a symphony?

If you want original design you should hire a person -- a professional with strong opinions, not a big firm.
I guess at the moment token are 'regulated' by their inherent cryptographic security that paper stock certificates purchased through a broker don't have. Whether the companies that issue them need regulation boils down to whether kickstarter or indigogo needs regulation IMHO.

"If there really are an infinite number of natural numbers then some of them must be of a transfinite number of digits or else you would be including numbers in the list more than once."

Theorem: There are no infinite natural numbers.

Proof: By Induction:

Induction Start: 0 is finite.

Induction Step: If n is finite then n+1 is finite.

The principle of induction then tells us: All natural numbers are finite.

If all natural numbers are finite, then there are no infinite natural numbers.

End of proof.

> non-profits or startups working to increase people's sense of community

This is non-profit territory, absolutely not startup territory. You can only build a classic VC-funded startup by promising that eventually you're going to extract value (usually monopoly profits!) from the community.

"Sense of community" is one of those things that's traditionally ranked well below profits and been destroyed in the search for profit.
