ICO's will continue to originate from places with relaxed regulatory regimes - Switzerland, the Cayman islands. And people in countries where this type of capital raising is not permitted will find ways around it. KYC is very easy to skip around when the only real contact required is sending ether from one address to another.

I think permissionless offering and trading of securities is the killer app for ethereum.

I'm in pretty much the same situation - the main reason why I use Facebook is to message friends. Basically all my friends have Facebook, so it's the easiest way.

Messenger seems to be moving more and more towards a snapchat clone, where as I just want something to message people. I don't want to post updates, play games, see ads, make phone calls, get spammed when someone new signs up.

iMessage before iOS 10 was perfect, except not all my friends use Apple.

This is more of a social problem than a tech problem, which means you won't know until you actually try.

Don't waste your time trying to get people's opinions on the idea because nobody knows if it will work. Even if a lot of people say "yeah i would definitely use it" it doesn't mean shit because they haven't actually tried it and once they try it they may realize they don't really need it. Likewise, if people say they don't need it, that also doesn't mean shit, because your audience may be hanging out at a different place than HN.

If you are curious, just build it and share the app itself, and then get feedback on that implementation. Sounds like something that one could whip up over a weekend if motivated enough and knows how to web program. Just do it.
It's not a non-sequitur. The only reason to drag an innocent person through a congressional hearing is to score political brownie points with constituents. I find that reprehensible, and do not think the visibly popular & successful personalities of our time need to be dragged through a sideshow for someone's political gain

Second that. Did the same thing... Got the same feeling.
> Shouldn’t the image taken at ISO 6400 show more noise than the image taken at ISO 1600? If the exposures were the same brightness, yes. But these images were not taken with the same exposure. The first image started with twice as much shutter open time (30 seconds versus 15 seconds) and two stops more gain on the sensor (ISO 6400 vs ISO 1600). The result is that the first image has significantly more light data. This makes the final signal-to-noise ratio of the processed images higher on the first image. The higher the signal to noise ratio, the less noisy the resulting photo. So in this case it was actually better to overexpose and compensate later in post processing, despite the initial unprocessed images appearing unusable.

This is really neat. I've got a full frame camera with a sensor that has very good dynamic range and I'd learned to under-expose and then pull detail from the shadows in post processing as information can't be saved from blown highlights. This sort of flips that on its head, except the featured overexposed shot didn't have blown highlights, it just looked like it did. Instead it had a wealth of low-light data.
You can't falsify the browser indicators of link targets (status bar on desktop, modal dialog from holding down the link on mobile) without JavaScript.

You can create a misleading tooltip in HTML: <a href="https://www.megabank.com.phishingattempt.io" title="https://www.megabank.com">https://www.megabank.com</a>. But since modern browsers don't use tooltips to indicate link targets, users probably won't be looking there in the first place.
As for the diet of kangaroo, yeah they're grazers. You can go out and see them grazing on grasslands in the national parks around the city. Apparently it's pretty high in the good Omega 3 oil too.

Sometimes I've eaten kangaroo and enjoyed it, then tried to prepare exactly the same food again and it tasted like a horrible bloody mess. I am not an expert on cooking roo. I recommend feeding it to your children so that they think it's normal however it tastes, and leave it as a gift for the next generation.

If there really is an oversupply of roo, why do I have to hunt for it on the shelf? And why is it always in weird packages with gimmicky branding?
> You should see if you can scare Facebook.

In all honesty, you really can't.
I think it would be a huge step forward for music or any artform, just like photography was for visual art. after the camera, we could relax on the technique of copying things as we see them and move on to ideas. perhaps ML could help human music finally get real about ideas. It could be wonderful to be free of the labor so we could really focus on the other aspects of music this kind of development could illuminate by making the formulaic nature understandable by everyone, driving a new interest in a frontier in music we were not free to explore while chained to techniques that are just techniques and not actual mysical ideas. I think music might more emphasize connection between people and a given moment between those very specific people. It might bring the former audience on par with the composer and as a composer, i'd like to see that in my lifetime!

> The problem is not that it's hard to measure. The people is that teachers actually have very little ability to make a marginal impact on their students though their performance, except at the very tail ends of the distribution.

That's essentially true for most sales people and traders as well. There are VERY heavy tails -- that one guy at the car dealership who sells 3x as much as his peers, or the trader at Citadel whose trades made over $1bn in a year.

But imagine how the teaching profession would change if 1) the gains could be accurately measured and 2) we assigned payment or prestige to teachers based on (1).
Real Heroes!
It is certainly open to interpretation, but is it fair to say thst Jesus also was against all the buying of various animal's for sacrifice that was common to Judaism at the time because he didn't believe that the commercial aspect of buying and selling these sacrifices for forgiveness was holy?

Having read the bible, the amount of burnt offerings and sin offerings and the meticulous cataloging of offenses requiring such offerings struck me as very central to the old testament and the Levitical law that goes with it.

But those large swaths apparently have a bustling public transit system? Sorry, rural America lacks both decent cell service AND decent busses.
Christianity in Nigeria is Western Christianity[1]. Moreover, the prosperity gospel churches in Nigeria are directly descended, AFAIU, from the American evangelical movement.

Your point about heresy lacks punch. Relative to Roman Catholic and Orthodox Christianity, every major Christian religion promotes, directly or indirectly, heresy. For example, transubstantiation is either a rejected or optional doctrine in every major Protestant Christian denomination; a doctrinal viewpoint which is per se heretical. It's all downhill from there.

I _think_ some Anglican and even Catholic parishes in Nigeria have adopted prosperity gospel (or at least prosperity gospel light), simply because it's the only way to keep parishioners from defecting. Not all forms of prosperity gospel are necessarily heretical anyhow. Technically speaking, even orthodox Christianity accepts a huge range of beliefs. In my Catholic parish in the Deep South (of the U.S.), a heavily Pentecostal area, there was a prayer group who spoke in tongues. The parish priest thought it was nuts, but it wasn't heresy and he had no choice but to provide at least nominal support for the group's activities.

[1] I define Christianity as Trinitarian Christianity, as it's the easiest characteristic to apply. Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses might balk at that, but I can't think of any better, more cogent dividing line. A broader category makes it too difficult to compare & contrast doctrine. A more narrow category makes it too easy to dismiss criticisms of Christian communities by arguing that they're not _true_ Christians, which I think is disingenuous.
In this case the person literally ran over another walking talking person. How exactly are you justifying giving a platofrm to a person who supports doing these things with a Nazi rationale?
So in that case only capital from the elite can flow into cryptocurrencies, but not be used by consumers for transactions?

Edit:
Wouldn't the lack of general consumer transactions ruin the economic viability of most tokens? If so, then there is definitely a case for a bear market.
My thought about this merger is, if I am HyVee or Price Chopper or whatever your local regional chain supermarket is HOW am I going to survive Amazon? They are past firing across the bow of every grocer in the US, and none of them seem to be moving to survive the Cat 10 hurricane that is Amazon. Few deliver, few have automated inventory with robots, I don't see any of them moving to compete or stem the blood bath that is coming. It reminds me of Palm and its arrogance when Apple entered the mobile phone market.
Try negotiating your salary in a corporation, see how well it works, then attempt censure.

People find it easier to up the salary by moving instead of negotiating and it is not due to lack of skill. Otherwise they wouldn't be getting raises that way. You essentially did that by moving to a managerial job. Some people become contractors to expedite this process.

The whole structures are designed to prevent you from negotiating. From useless reasons to not give one a raise like easy to misinterpret and worthless KPI, through bureaucracy preventing even slightly risky projects, office politics, levels of indirection, use of statistics on personal level etc. Even if you are great you may have real trouble showing that you are. So people hop jobs. When hopping, what matters is the resume and salesmanship indeed.

Only very small companies don't have those bureaucracies and instead they cannot just offer you what they don't have. Unless they have huge VC funding, but that can also evaporate bringing it back to job hopping.

Even measuring the effect of your work is difficult, much less selling it, even less so in a way that bypasses all the layers of junk.
AI that 'identifies gay faces'
Property rights and violence, the two dont go without each other in any fundamental discussion.

The standard view here is that the state is the guarantor of those rights via a monopoly of violence granted by the people.

The libertarian view is that the state didn't ever contractually obtain this monopoly and will use it against you i.e. via taxation or when you are/do something your state thinks you shouldn't - often among them: Being gay, black, white, Jew, Christian, Muslim, raped, communist, capitalist, rich or poor.

It was pretty funny to click on that expecting something on Dialectical Materialism and finding an essay on Hegel by a VC that co-founded Palentir no less. This idea of dialectics is very powerful, and his reasoning is sensible. I wonder how he balances helping build an omnipresent surveillance state unknown in human history with the moral principles he espouses.

Unrelated, I wonder if dielectrics (a material that polarizes in an electric field) maybe were named by scientists aware of philosophy that made a pun.
If nothing else, styling emails serves an economic purpose through facilitating signaling. The more a company expects that consumers will value it in the long run the more incentive it has to signal that fact, and a signal is only as good as it is expensive in appearance to the people being signaled to.

In this case, things like a marketing email or simply the follow-up email to signing up to some service provide that signal since the user can see how much effort was invested in making the communication look attractive.

Even though it's far from precise, I like Jonathan Haidt's suggestion in The Happiness Hypothesis that our conscious mind is like someone riding an elephant: He can nudge it in this direction or that, and a lot of the time that works. But if the elephant wants to go a different direction, it will, and you're just along for the ride. At which point you can acknowledge you're not in control, or decide where the elephant went is where you really wanted to go all along. Often we choose the latter to retain the illusion of control.

> I have had way too many evenings after I get the kids in bed where I think, "I'll just unwind on my phone for a few minutes and then work on something."
There's a hack for this which I find works, just go to sleep at 8pm or 8:30pm instead right after the kids. Wake up at 4pm-4:30pm (yes I need a full 8 hours every night, not negotiable), you'll have much more willpower to tackle your side project in the morning before your kids wake up.
Given the choice between reddit and side project, reddit will win. Given the choice between reddit and sleep...it's much easier to pick sleep even if reddit is more tempting.

That's a great way of thinking about it.

couldn't agree more.. 10 years ago I was at the Apple store in Manhattan with my wife getting an iphone. There was this guy who's job it was just to sweep the stairs going down to the store.

I told my wife.. If I could somehow make a tech salary doing what he does, I'd do it in a second. She questioned me like why? I just said what I said before. I could come home and not worry about anything.
Certainly, our rural public transit is a catastrophe in it's own right. That still supports the argument that there is a very real use case for offline bus schedule lookup.

The appeal of getting likes, making numerous amounts of friends, sharing awesome posts, etc. is lost within the pile of nonsense that fills up the feed every single day. it's simply not cool any more. At least on other platforms I can follow a catered list of people that I find worthwhile. And the number of followers mean much more. Facebook is just a jumbled mess right now. The only thing it's good for is making it easier to keep in contact with others that phone numbers can't do. Notifications are facebooks way of trying to encourage engagement I think
I got a phising SMS today (please login to verify unusual account activity) with a link to mybank.online-eauth.co.uk. I knew from before even seeing that it was probably not legit, but I did check the domain whois as UK banks are rather arcane, and I wouldn't be surprised if they had a completely different domain for something like this. I know when I buy something online, my bank has a different domain for Verified by Visa.

For anyone interested in the Phenomenology, I think the best guide is Peter Kalkavage's Logic of Desire. Kalkavage exemplifies the best of the pedagogical tradition at St. John's College. I spent a good number of years working through the 20th century secondary literature on Hegel (largely from French and German philosophy--Hyppolite, Kojeve, Heidegger, etc.) and really wished I had found Kalkavage's book earlier.

It’s obvious that gender and genetics have an effect on interests. I doubt that anybody challenges that, and you can go talk about that without anyone raising an eyebrow.

What is a problem is if you use that to justify discrimination. Just because members of a demographic are statistically different, it isn’t okay to treat individuals differently because they belong to a certain demographic. And that’s what people are complaining about!

People don’t complain when you say: “A lot of the fastest marathon runners are from Kenia”. People will complain if you use that fact to justify an imbalance in your workforce: “Well, it’s obvious that we hire only people from Kenia since marathons show they are much faster!”

So why do companies fire people who say stuff like that? Because discrimination is stupid from a business point of view: variance within demographics is much larger than variance of the mean between demographics. So if you hire people based on them being part of a “good” demographic, you will end up with worse hires than if you actually selected for individual aptitude.
