Mastercard vs Visa. Visa issued cards do not typically support chip-and-pin. Mastercard issued credit cards often do.
POLITICAL œconomy, considered as a branch of the science of a statesman or legislator, proposes two distinct objects: first, to provide a plentiful revenue or subsistence for the people, or more properly to enable them to provide such a revenue or subsistence for themselves; and secondly, to supply the state or commonwealth with a revenue sufficient for the public services. It proposes to enrich both the people and the sovereign.

Oh, you're one of those.
> So React is damned for including a PATENTS license

A patent grant is a good thing, you want a patent grant as a user of OSS.

The problem people have with React's patent grant is the one sided terms of the patent grant (and the fear that Facebook could hold you hostage with those terms).

> Geez, wish they would just re-license under Apache 2.0.

This would be my preference.

IMO, for the React issue, even if the issue is a paper tiger (https://medium.com/@dwalsh.sdlr/react-facebook-and-the-revok...), this puts a massive hit on Facebook's OSS credibility. Even if the fear was irrational, many people are never going to understand that now and many people won't touch any Facebook OSS because of that fear.

Facebook would probably solve a lot of that credibility loss by just re-licensing under Apache 2.0.
> China has exchange controls

Bitcoin is irrelevant, compared to still-tolerated and massively-more voluminous alternatives, for capital controls. This is a red herring.

Bitcoin was fine until ICO promoters started pilfering from the masses. In any case, China is currently loosening its capital controls [1].

This isn’t a problem that can be constrained to China. China is just reacting first. The rebranding of this action away from fraud and towards capital controls is dishonest.

Interesting, good to know, thanks for confirming. I guess security by obscurity is quite effective!
It is definitely hard to have the foresight necessary, and this whole industry could benefit from a book of devops case studies.

That being said, turn off the EC2 instances and there is rarely an ongoing trickle of costs, as the other services mostly are billed on how much they are invoked, which is good for hobby projects.
We need more Wayland based systems. There is already enough Android around.
Can you give a good argument, why computer owner shouldn't be able to control what her computer is doing?

Why computer should not serve its owner best interest and instead serve interests of media companies?
Yeah, definitely listen on a nonstandard port. I'm not sure how to limit to 1 connection per IP but it sounds rather limiting, so I wouldn't do it... I often have multiple SSH sessions from my own IP.
I think you are failing to take into account compounded interest and opportunity cost. Efforts you make when you’re young get compounded during the rest of your life time and the time you spend learning the intricacies of human mating is time that you could spend doing so many other things. Especially today when you can’t just start working at a factory at 18 and expect lifetime employment. Not just that, human mating has also gotten a lot more complicated with the advent of the Pill. You probably won’t be marrying your highschool sweetheart either. With the right incentives and a wealth of information I am not surprised to see the population follow a less greedy strategy when it comes to dating and drugs.
Have you ever considered that objective reality is seated in consciousness rather than the other way around? Look into Plato's allegory of the cave. The world around you is actually a simulation created in your brain by synthesizing inputs from your sensory organs - you aren't experiencing it directly. That model includes the conception that you have a brain and sensory organs which simulate an objective reality. In other words, the possibility that objective reality stems from the subjective world, i.e. the mind, is not an absurd assertion.
I think you need to have incentives in place to foster innovation in healthcare somehow. Consolidating hospitals sounds like a way on monopoly, i agree, but consolidation could also happen on payer (single payer?) side, which would give some bargaining power. I think at this point US healthcare system is too complex for many of us to follow. We have different private practices, labs, hospital facilities, and all that comes with the cost of opacity. When you can't really tell how much you are going to pay to whom in advance comes with loss of power to choose (a different care-giver), which probably creates local monopolies.
Sometimes innovation is about figuring out ways to make more money, not by lowering costs to attract more consumers, but by limiting choices, creating illusion of choice, denying coverage, cheating consumers. Not all corporate innovation is good thing. Certain industries the possibility for real innovation is practically non-existent, and the 'innovation' that occurs is not in the public interest.

Basically yes. The NASA space shuttle was conceived by NASA, chosen by Nixon among a group of possible projects, and then the tank built by Lockheed, orbiter by ATK, etc. If anything, many of the above problems wouldn't just go away, some of them would become even more costly.

By data intensive I meant something where we have to make multiple requests for similar data, but not quite the same. If I understand correctly, graphql is there to help with such cases. But, I may be wrong, I am new to this.

No, JavaScript is not even close. It has gotten popular in past few years. Most server apps are written in Java, C#, Ruby and python.
I've been watching Redox on and off since its inception, and I must say I'm really impressed at what it has achieved till now. It is a fully functional OS with binutils, terminal, calculator etc, and this is a win for the whole FOSS culture.

What are the potential areas where Redox could be beneficial ? I would love to run on Raspberry pi, older Androids or Routers etc. Is it doable?

I'm also curious about the benefits that redox offers vis-a-vis bare metal Linux (Alpine/Void etc)?
> It's a 24/7 market; the price responds a lot faster than other markets

The deal is when you grade on a curve a B- means something other than 'totally failed' or as an old instructor of mine said, back when I went to school a B was a good grade.

Also my mothers comment was if everyone does really really well on a test then it wasn't hard enough. The reverse is sort of true. If everyone does poorly then either the test test was too hard or the instructor failed to teach the material.
Okay here is one: We haven't.

A strong argument can be made the USD (and most the world's curreines) are backed by oil as oil may only be exchanged for USD.

Furthermore inflation tracks oil sale perfectly since the petro-dollar started.

I'm by no means an expert on this, but the timing for several of these likely relates to the once every 5 years National Congress of the Communist Party of China occurring next month. There are competing factions, and it's probable that some of these decisions benefit one over another.
It's pretty trivial to run an IPFS gateway as a Tor hidden service. Also IPFS branches into Tor OnionCat's IPv6 /64. And nodes that link resources between clearnet and OnionCat /64. Or any other overlay network.

On the economics of knowledge creation and sharing
In the Android world, translations are usually found in string resources. See [1], for example.

AFAIK, if you want improved translations, 1) you'd need to either fork AOSP, build a custom ROM, and your users would need to deploy that custom ROM on their devices. or 2) convince Google to accept your changes [2].

Edit: There may be other hacky approaches I'm not aware of. You might find something useful if you trawl the XDA forums [3].

Amazon’s wearables plan puts Alexa on the move
My understanding of this argument, as best as I'm able to state it, is approximately: Claims that view-source is a significant virtue of the web are nostalgic and misguided, as demonstrated by the fact that it's difficult and rare today to find anything usable or valuable by reading the javascript source of major websites like facebook, especially by amateurs.

It's possible that I've misunderstood some nuances about the claim, and I apologize if I've misrepresented the comment you're replying to.
Out of curiosity, have you spent a lot of time with CarPlay?
Do you not remember the cold war? Shitty weather and floods of refugees sounds pretty sweet compared to nuclear armageddon.
Student loan terms are the worst loan terms our country has had since debtors prison was taken off the table.

You have to go to college to be allowed to sweep the floors (so to speak) and because bad loans are available, college tuition grows to match the available balance.

The result is that people are forced into loans with bad terms by necessity only to find out they can't buy that house because they already have a horrible mortgage on their education.

The idea of trading the chains of bad loans now for a few votes (and only potential chains later) understandably becomes appealing.

If anything, this shows that college needs to go back to basics and become sustainable again. Capping student loans at amounts way below current market would be a good start (perhaps at what colleges cost in 1980 before super inflation happened).
Exactly. I think this will be Toyota’s last generation of head units without CarPlay/Android Auto, simply because all the competitors now have it, and the complaints will only get louder from here.
In particular, when every Toyota reviewed by Consumer Reports lists “no CarPlay” as a negative, and every competitor uses it against them, their current position will become untenable
It's not, we just don't post on SO often because there's about a 0% chance our questions will get a response :)

Lost in Manboo – Residents living permanently in Japan's cyber-cafés
I've been seeing Redox develop for a while now, and I've got to say—it's really amazing what such a small group of people can accomplish. They have innovative tools in all sorts of areas of computer science. Including coreutils, binutils, a shell (along with a custom shell scripting language), common GUI applications, a hash function, a file system, etc.

One of the coolest aspects of all of these tools are that they aren't exclusive to Redox. In fact, they are rather portable. For example, the new file system (tfs) can run on operating systems other than Redox. One of the team members wrote an "atomic hash table" for it, and it was open sourced as well. It even uses an open source hash function by the same author.

Congrats to the team. Writing an operating system is incredibly hard, and it's great to see something like this written in Rust. I'm a big fan of all of the core contributors, and can't wait to see where Redox goes.
This is a particularly naive understanding of markets.

To restate your argument: there are sometimes unpredictable health care events that arise for which one cannot negotiate, bargain, and price compare in advance. Therefore, price transparency doesn't work.

The problem is you wouldn't make this argument about any other sort of good (for example, an emergency or home car repair) because you know exactly how markets function in those cases.

The answer is: when there's price transparency, and consumers are incentivized to shop around and demand lower prices, prices come down. This benefits not only yourself, but also consumers who don't want to (or are unable to) perform this role themselves.

This is why you pay cheap prices at the grocery store even if you don't haggle, clip coupons, and so on. This is why "emergency" home and car repair (while it may cost more) does not cost an order of magnitude more than "non-emergency" home or car repair.
Can you recall what it feels like to splash cold water on your face? What is that feeling? What is it to feel something? How does it emerge from the interaction of matter? What is the dividing line between something that does and does not feel? I dont think you can hand wave them away.

Your numbers are wrong. Here's the actual values for each of those images uncompressed:

debian	101M
alpine	4.1M
amazonlinux	160M

These were determined with the following:

for image in debian:latest alpine:latest amazonlinux:latest; do
docker pull $image
size=$(docker save $image | wc -c)
echo "\n$image is $(echo $size | numfmt --to=iec)\n"
done

Please note that it's important to only do this test with either a completely clean image store OR to save an exact sha256 image digest tag.

If you try to do a `docker save` on a store where you have multiple copies of an image, it's easy to mess up and save old layers too. I suspect that's what happened with your amazonlinux test above.

How is it irrelevant? You can buy Bitcoin with yuan, transfer the bitcoin to a foreign exchange, and then buy another currency like the US dollar with the bitcoin, thereby circumventing capital controls.
Not in the usual statement, no. I believe there's a compromise suitable for both technical reality (video makes huge demands on bandwidth, and bandwidth is finite) and neutral communication. Appropriate regulation, suitably delivered in a balance of philosophical care and technical care should solve the bulk of today's problems in this specific arena.

I say "terribly-designed curriculum".

Maybe engineers need to be introduced to the synthesis tools at the same time as the simulator tools.

Simulating RTL is only an approximation of reality. So emphasizing RTL simulation is bad. You see it over and over though. People teach via RTL simulation.

Synthesis is the main concern. Can the design be synthesised into HW and meet the constraints? Because all the combinatorial logic gets transformed into something quite different in a FPGA.
I did some fixes to improve that experience. Let me know what do you think
great starter book! Any plans of expanding it to a more advanced level? I would like to see elaboration on the async/await patterns and more on http verb support techniques and routing.
I like your holistic but bare bones approach and I would pay for an advanced version of this book, especially if it included short exercises with answers after each chapter.
Always appreciate seeing a highly cited and influential paper, thank you for sharing that. It seems to make a good case that IQ (or GMA or similar) combined with one or two simple tests can have some success as a tool for choosing candidates.

The issue I would have is it doesn't seem to preclude the possibility that placing more emphasis on specific accomplishments and other software development contributions, is as I suspect, an even better approach.

You mention biographical data and reference checks. I dug just a little further into related papers to get a better idea of what the authors meant by this. From what I can tell those concepts are different things from what we might guess, and wouldn't serve as a proxy to evaluate my conjecture (for example, on the meaning of biographical data: https://www.biz.uiowa.edu/faculty/fschmidt/meta-analysis/rot...).

Speaking of conjecture, I realize that's what I'm offering here. Whereas they have strong data to say, here's a couple of approaches that can be effective.

Anecdotally, I still believe better candidates could be chosen by closely evaluating the specific work a developer has done, what role they played on the teams, and the impact and value of the work directly connected to their contributions. Of course these can't work just by listing Git repos, the interview process has to explore and validate the history. Combining this with the interview process can allow great insights into a candidates thinking, because it allows discussions about real world, non-trivial work and problem solving.

The careless bundling of everyone under the sun into the "alt-right" category is getting out of hand.

I don't care what you think about the shitposters on r/The_Donald or Mike Cernovich, but they aren't anything close to advocates for the white identity politics advocated by the "alt-right".
Popehat tends to be a highly libertarian site. I would prefer not to be instructed by a highly libertarian site. It usually contains presuppositions that render it of limited use in thinking about the matter.

If you, however, have a link to a paper or op-ed put out by a reputable constitutional scholar in a reputable publication, e.g., Harvard Law Review, I would be more than happy to read such a thing.
The most common types of tasks I've seen are those that fall under business operations. My last company when starting up their B2B side had someone manually set up invoices in Excel and print and mail them to the individual clients. For some clients I've seen people manually enter data instead of automating it (or until the automation is complete). The real trick here is that you don't want to automate the operations until you actually have a product that people are buying. It's not worth investing the time and money into automation unless you know it's going to be used.

Additionally, early on, you're going to want to do some of the sales manually. You're probably going to lean on people you already know to try the product and intros from people in your network. This is more time-consuming than a sales pipeline but it will generally provide better product (and sales) feedback. These customers will also most likely be your most passionate.
I agree with you that printing money and giving it equally to all people is a whole lot better than printing money and giving it to banks. The former is just bad government, the latter is outright theft taken from the working class and given to the rich.

I am aware of your point about a lender of last resort and am aware of the history of banking. I think you talked yourself already into understanding my point though: that the Fed's bank guarantees are only necessary because we stupidly allow fractional reserve banking.

By the way Friedman was not an advocate of central planning, even with monetary policy. He even advocated getting rid of the Fed., but when he realized it would take a revolution to do that, conceded they should at least use a hard rule, like I've been saying the k-percent rule, and not use discretionary monetary policy.

Friedman could be cold and harsh at times which earned him controversy, but his expertise in monetary policy was part of why he won the Nobel, and the only reason he is ignored is because they are inconsistent with the profit motive of the financial sector.
My guess is food safety. Not quite real food safety, but also not made up. Some European cheeses are not available in here Australia because of regulations about how dairy products have to be processed (Pasteurisation I guess).

Not only might that logic work in China too, but the culture is less tolerant of a food-stuff what is after all curdled milk with a fungal infection. (And we in the west get grossed out by chicken feet!).
In the Guardian article[0], recently posted on HN[1], Franklin Foer argues:

> By the time Zuckerberg began extolling the virtues of hacking, he had stripped the name of most of its original meaning and distilled it into a managerial philosophy that contains barely a hint of rebelliousness.

I rather disagree. Indeed, I believe that Facebook has taken hacking to an extreme level. As the article argues, they're against free will. Not only are they're compromising users' privacy, they're arguing against privacy as a legitimate option. Because there's arguably no integrity in it:

> “The days of you having a different image for your work friends or co-workers and for the other people you know are probably coming to an end pretty quickly,” Zuckerberg has said. “Having two identities for yourself is an example of a lack of integrity.”

That's an extremely authoritarian, "we have the Truth, you are Wrong, and we will Prevail", attitude. And it totally ignores power imbalances, where having different images in different contexts is the only possibility for any freedom.

Compartmentalization with multiple personas is essential for survival in a pervasively authoritarian world.[2]
