I have a Hamilton Pulsomatic [0] in my collection and for geekiness it is pretty high up the tree. A digital watch that you don’t need batteries for is very nice and it gets a huge amount of (male) attention.

As an aside I have never had a woman ever comment on any of my watches - it really is a male thing.

Why not? Have a professional supplier handle the mods to mil-spec and you have a mil-grade product. If it fits the requirements you shouldn't just rule out something just because it sounds DIY.

The process might double the price, but still cheaper than anything custom ordered. Glue is a perfectly acceptable solution if done right. Plastic welding is also an option.
“We've been breached” – Inside the Equifax hack
Okay then I'm extremely confused. You say:

> Every chip or contactless transaction is an EMV transaction.

But the parent comment I was replying to says:

> Just because you are using the chip doesn't mean you are doing an EMV transaction.

I presume you're saying he's wrong in this? Or am I misunderstanding what you both mean?

I'm also confused by the PIN thing you mention. Why is there a PIN at all, and why is there an "encrypted PIN exchange"? We're talking about the US, right? The US is chip & signature, and there is no PIN involved. I thought it was supposed to be that the card generates a unique one-time authorization code (public-key signatures?) and the bank validates it? Where does a PIN come into play?
"What's the difference between directly printing money out of thin air and creating bonds out of thin air and selling it for money (that also was printed or electronic)?"

A BOND IS A LOAN, A LEGAL OBLIGATION TO REPAY

With 100's of years of financial regulation and legal apparatus and precedence, long-standing laws, process and practices it.

It's a fundamental part of the credit system.

The price of the bond on the the markets will be a function of the coupon rate, and the 'risk' associated with the issuer actually paying back.

That's why bonds can be resold because they are worth something.

PRINTING MONEY AND SPENDING IT ON MANSIONS (or whatever) IS DILUTION

It's just making 'z dollars in circulation' no 'z*n dollars in circulation' backed by the same amount of assets, ergo, each dollar worth less.

I recommend "Investopedia.com" where you can go and look up what a 'bond' is, what a 'stock' is, what 'currency' is, and what 'central banks' do, it's a great resource.

So if the attacker has to have a key to break into the machine and install the skimmer, isn't that the problem then?

And if the attacker opened the pump to install the skimmer, why would he need to use radios at all? Why not just log it to flash for a week, then go to the pump and fetch the skimmer again? Presumably you'd want to remove the skimmer from the machine to avoid detection anyway?

The ancient Mesopotamian (Sumerian/Akkadian) system was floating point. The exponent was implied rather than explicitly written though. So 1/120, 1/2, 30, and 1800 were all written the same way.

Modern 'scientific notation' is also floating point.

Agreed with everything. I'd bet on scenario #3 though (namely IPFS and IPNS for now). You're sadly correct about the spam though. Still, a solution must exist.

I for one am sick of trusting corps only because they can implement software that protects their own servers. We can't be held hostages by spam forever.

(I would even wager spam is partially funded by corps so as to scare the users back to their walled gardens but that's uncertain and not especially likely.)
> Start with supporting only one version of HTTP, TLS, (X)HTML, CSS and JS and fork them if necessary.

The support for different versions that does exist in browsers tends to be minute: ripping out support for older versions would cut out almost no code, because there's basically nothing specifically handling them. (Heck, the only forks in CSS are for quirks and limited quirks mode, and both of them affect very, very little of the layout engine.)

Those engines provide features that PHP natively lacks, or doesn't support well. With raw PHP, you have to manually escape every variable with htmlspecialchars, or mix HTML and PHP contexts in a way that can make it difficult to reason about complex templates, (see: Wordpress) or separate concerns (anyone editing templates now has to know how to write PHP, because templates are just PHP.)

A template engine can give you context-sensitive escaping, template caching and inheritance, macros, and other features that increasingly become necessary for modern web development, and many of which you would probably wind up implementing anyway, once a project reaches sufficient scale and complexity. While raw PHP is arguably faster, it's also more difficult to do properly.

Also, culturally, the PHP community isn't as centralized as other web development language communities seem to be. It doesn't have one 'correct' framework or one 'correct' templating language you're expected to use, so there is competition between multiple engines.

But the end result is still the same in either case, basic CRUD - taking an HTTP request, getting some data, pushing it into a template, and sending a response back.

But these are "customer protection" laws, which are intended to make sure people are informed and to make it reasonable to shop in the street, not to protect against people who intentionally try to break them.

They are easily opted out of - they won't prevent you from e.g. buying whatever you want from China, and that's by design. There's no point in protecting a customer that doesn't want your protection.

As opposed to drug laws, which are designed to make drugs hard and dangerous to buy, even if you really want them.
Wow, this is great (and very comprehensive). I remember being really intrigued years ago when I stumbled on "The Cars of Tintin" [1] (one of my favourite comics as a kid). The vehicles in Tintin were beautifully drawn and the attention to detail was exquisite.

Nice improvement! The screenshots have much nicer font rendering (and a better font, for that matter). The fact that it uses more than the 16 colours that were available in Windows 3.1 helps a lot too.
Define modern, otherwise you're going to go down a rabbithole where you can freely disagree with anybody.

We refer to ES2017 as "modern", despite the fact that all it's shiny new features are ones that both CL and Scheme, and Smalltalk to a degree, had twenty years ago.

"Modern" tends to mean "under active work today". C++17, PHP7, Python 3.7, all these are referred to as "modern".

Scheme is actively developed today. That's modern enough. (And has had all the shiny features other language's consider "modern" for years).

> Especially if you look at Guile, the manual looks frightening - an implementation which has no clear language design, but accumulates stuff from SRFIs, R6RS, R7RS, own stuff

I have no idea where you're pulling that from.

The language design seems clear enough [0] to me, in the manual.

> but accumulates stuff from SRFIs, R6RS, R7RS, own stuff

I don't see how that's a problem. Common libraries are included, as well as backwards compatibility, and some extensions. How is that different from GCC, MSVC, Luajit, etc? Even CPython has extensions on Python's language reference.

In fact, what about SBCL? [1]

The manual seems straight-forward, and easy to understand to me. No different from any other language manual. More detailed and just as straight-forward as SBCL's.

Well, yes, exactly, that's why I recommended them, and then I get the objection that they eventually are generating strings. I don't really get it.

> But the end result is still the same in either case, basic CRUD - taking an HTTP request, getting some data, pushing it into a template, and sending a response back.

Sure, that's what most PHP apps do... but it's also what most Rails, ASP.NET MVC/WebAPI, Spring, etc. apps do too. And it involves a fair bit more than templating -- database access, data validation, security, etc.

It's true that PHP is rarely used off the Web (although it's possible), but I can't see how what you're describing makes PHP different from any other technology commonly used for Web dev.

> Often the brick & mortar price is identical after shipping costs. The competitive advantage of a good mom & pop toy store is a specialized, curated selection of unique merchandise.

I think their main advantage is not the curation but the availability. You can plan a trip to the toy shop, agree to a budget, go and play with toys, choose something in budget, and go home with a toy. This is a way better parent-child bonding experience than scrolling through pages of licensed junk together & then waiting 2-3 days.

Re curation: most good toy stores have the same sort of stuff. Most 'boutique' 'niche' ones have expensive crap for idiots with money. Protip: your kids will play with toys until they break, don't buy that miniature replica Miele vacuum cleaner toy for $200 unless you don't mind throwing it away in 3 months.

Museum shops seem to follow the 'specialized, curated selection of unique merchandise' of children's toys.

Ask HN: How to ditch leeching co-founder
I own 49% of an online business with a non-technical co-founder and I've given up on my co-founder after 3+ years. He is supposed to handle fundraising, marketing, general business... while I engineering. We both work on it part-time, but recently I just can't get past the fact that I've put in so much more time than he has. He has done a couple things for the business in fairness (raised 5 figures for us 2 years ago) but the hours spent between us is grossly out of balance. We work in opposite timezones, so we just give each other updates over slack when they happen. His have been lackluster. I can spend a whole weekend making improvements to the technical side while nothing of substance happens on the business end aside from maybe a customer support email. I now regret my generosity in extra hours spent and I can't get it off my mind.

I have spent 1000+ hours of my free time (I was full-time for some months) on the code that backs our service and I don't want to abandon it. This week, I again expressed my concerns again how I feel we're not spending equal time on the project and how we need to think of ways to compensate me if we're going to keep adding huge features. After discussing, he offered me his share for a huge sum of money. It's especially huge considering we're no longer even profitable at this point. I told him if he offered me the same for my share, I would take it. I can't work with the unfairness on my mind. If I'm devoting my complete free time to a project for half of it's value, I expect the same of my co-founder. What are my options besides leaving the business to die?

1. Can I start a new business in the same sector - reusing some of the data and software? The business would be related, but I would pivot on our main idea.

2. Can I sell him my share and start my own indirectly related business?

tl;dr my co-founder is one of those group members you had in high-school who expects you to do all the work. How to make the best of this?

Are we really willing to allow this to be considered "sexual cyber violence"?

Taking a photograph of someone in public is a legal act (in the USA anyway)? Being in public necessarily puts you into the public domain with no expectation of privacy.

Can we agree that taking photographs of people without their consent is nothing more than extremely creepy? This isn't violence at all. That word is very dangerous. When misapplied, it leads the uninformed to make bad decisions, expecting that they can respond to "sexual cyber violence" with actual physical violence.

> And yet you can't create your own small phone network, assign whatever numbers you want to your users, and expect others to interconnect with you or honor your numbers. Telephony is federated within an internationally regulated system, to claim that this in any way supports federation in a similar manner as what is being discussed is to fundamentally misunderstand how the system works.

Wait, but if telephony is regulated then so is our DNS system. After all, Verisign (I think) owns "dot com". I am not sure about the last statement but the point is that you have to go to a registrar to get a domain name. So, is email not truly federated either?

Thinking about the problem, we need some kind of identifier that is not controlled by a single entity and yet there is a consensus as to how we route traffic designated to that identifier. Ideally, we want to be able to designate multiple clients with the same identifier which only complicates the issue. Is there a solution to this?
Apologies, perhaps my post wasn't clear - I agree, the burden of proof is on the person making the claim (i.e. claiming that someone owes them a debt), rather than the person supposedly in debt.
