It depends. The banks nets the transactions a number of times during the day, normally using a central bank.

In the mean time the credit on your account is debited a 'float' account that accumulates any debt to other banks or third party payment system. Each fast payment system also typically have a reserved amount deposited as a guarantee in the event that a bank runs out of money.

It's a real cost to reserve money so there is a restriction on the sums.

Can the central banks speed up the settlement? Yes probably, but it's a lot of work to do.
That's a fair argument, but it doesn't change that the job ad is pretty bad. SpaceX has lots of people working serious overtime because of their belief in company's mission, but it doesn't routinely advertise overtime as a job perk...
Web components are syntactic sugar and a registry (yes, Java coming to a browser near you!) around the following:

interface Component { void render(); }

If you think this somehow solves all JS framework issues, I have a bridge to sell you. Or there was never a meaningful problem in the first place.
The term has been repurposed into philo-historianism. IOW A modern philosopher is someone who studies real philosophers. Look how the field is void of any original idea and at its endless citation of dead people.

Far to much value is attributed to "what they said" rather than the mind set that made them say it.

This could happen to any field and to some benevolent and productive extend it does. We normally put the word history or historian behind or in front of it like computer science history, art history, the history of foobar.

I have to ask: how does one write the "hello world" of philosophy? And please don't cite me a manual.
You are wrong. For one thing, the learning of your face, and learning over time as your face changes (glasses, hairstyle, beard) happens fully locally.
I'm a VC, and this list is great. At a high level, VCs care about three things: team, product/idea, and market. Every VC cares about all of these things, but their prioritizations vary.

Most of Patrick's excellent advice can be lumped into these three buckets. Specifically:

1) You have to establish the credibility of the team: you've done impressive things before; you have a deep understanding of what you're working on now; you can read your audience and know how to communicate effectively; you can get a strong intro (nice-to-have); etc.

2) You have to establish the viability of the market: it's big; it has a real problem; the existing competitors are not doing a good job in a clear way; etc.

3) You have to establish the quality of the idea/product: you have a unique insight or approach relative to competitors; the prototype/early validation is strong; etc.

A lot of the pitches become mediocre when founders are handwavy in one or more of these areas. For example, if the founder spends a lot of time talking about the market and the product idea, but not enough time explaining why the team is uniquely/extremely qualified to succeed. Or the founder has good answers to product/team/market questions, but their answers show they don't know how to read the audience or explain their idea. (Example of not reading the audience: the investor is non-technical and the founder, who is productizing their PhD thesis, spends 90% of the pitch geeking out about technical details.)

Also, I'll add a few tips:

- Don't exaggerate or mislead. An investor will pass if they doubt one of your statements ("silverware is a $150 billion dollar market!") or realize that you're spinning facts (e.g. you say Dropbox is a customer, but later it turns out you meant that one of your free users has an @dropbox.com email). If it turns out that one statement you made is false, then investors will assume there might be more.

- Understanding risks is better than sweeping them under the rug. If your competitor landscape is missing key companies (mentioned in Patrick's post) or you dismiss some $1b+ company as a competitor without any rationale, your audience will become very skeptical. Admitting something is a problem and explaining how you will address is it much more compelling.

- Really know the ins and outs of everything about your company -- at least relative to the audience. If I ask a question or make a product suggestion that the founder hasn't considered, that's a yellow flag. Someone who has been living and breathing their startup for several months should have a much, much deeper knowledge of their domain than an investor who is hearing about it for the first time.
I tried pinging google.com from cmd and it worked, both on Firefox and Chrome. Didn't try browsing the web though. Maybe the VPN (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15278430) is overloaded or blocks that somehow?
I think there's a distinction between a park and a preserve.
To define "smart", you'd have to ask a philosopher. QED.

Jokes aside, my personal opinion is that we have a lot of hubris on the average, and a lot of us probably consider ourselves smarter than we are. Or at least could do with an attitude that generates an openness to learning, which being humble does.

For this reason alone, it might be interesting to consider that there might be a smarter lot out there. And a bunch of people who are sort of smart in the same way as developers are (deductive reasoning, parsing problems very finely, etc) to boot.
Components raise events, you listen for those events and update what you need. Probably you could setup data binding in some components like Listboxes.
Vitalik Buterin explains Ethereum in his own words at Disrupt SF
How about because all you did was insult people who aren’t using your pet language?

I use Java 8 (not an Android developer). I think it’s a great language and I’m very familiar with it. I imagine it’s the same with many others.

Your post is basically the same as “LOL old-timer C++ people, if they’d just use Rust things would be fine”.

It’s not useful or constructive.
I think debugging is a skill every developer must have, once you learn to debug, it does not matter in which language you are debugging.

If you are using an IDE, debugging is pretty straightforward.
U mad bruh?
It depends. You are right that you can probably be monetarily better off living in some smaller cheaper city and working as a developer for a non exciting company. Real estate prices in that city are probably something like 3-5 times lower than SF/London.

The downside is that selection of jobs is very lacking in places like that. If you are not happy with your job, or want to try something else (maybe go to a different field within IT), it might be very difficult to find anything new. Also in economic downturn like 2008 there will still be enough new jobs in big tech hubs but anything outside might dry up for couple of years.

Another factor is that even though everything is super expensive and you might be relatively poorer compared to somebody with 60% of your salary but living in a place with 40% cost of living, once you manage to get on a property ladder in a city like SF, given the constantly rising real estate prices, your house will be worth a lot once you repay your mortgage and can be a great way to retire later.
tl;dr eli5:

This is research into photonic (optical fiber) links and how to store several different colors (frequencies) in a vibrating material. The vibrating material is still a transmission but because it to 100,000x slower than light, it represents "storage."

(In case you are confused, this research is just about the storage, and not the optical link.)
I do think you are being harsh here, or at least too particular to your own experience. My experience differs.

As a practicing scientist who also did a thesis on the concept of Causality, with projects on Time, I did in fact have to interact with and learn significant physics to make a dent in my projects. My professors were themselves extraordinarily capable with respect to (at least theoretical) science. My graduate-level philosophy of science classes were significantly harder than my theoretical physics classes, in some regards. The insight with respect to what is 'experimentable', and to be able to trace logical consequences of scientific assumptions through to experimental effects, and then to challenge those most basic of scientific assumptions by designing and using an experiment made powerful by its relation to an underlying philosophically-derived framework was extraordinarily empowering. And that's on the philosophy side.

I'd also argue that the framework instilled by my philosophy of science education has made my work as a scientist significantly more generalizable, and thus more influential to my fields.
This is not an excellent resource. This is a cultural signpost pointing to our society's total disconnection from the responsibilities and consequences of agriculture. One day our grandchildren will find this post, realize it wasn't a hoax, and think to themselves: "I guess they really were that stupid."

Also, "murderer" is a really harsh term to throw around for someone who kills pests, even if they really suck at it and have no idea what they're doing.
The laws that permit these records requests also permit reasonable fees for fulfilling the requests, which pretty easily sorts that issue out.
"So that’s what I mean by “helping you move freely throughout your city” — we are removing these barriers of stress, worry, and anxiety and enabling you to just go."

That’s a grand statement coming from a company that, generally speaking, blatantly ignores the disabled among their clientele.
I felt the same way when I switched from CoffeeScript to TypeScript but the type checking was worth all the braces, returns and lack of existential operator. If CoffeeScript added an (optional) type system I'd switch back in an instant.
> Only problem are the Lenovo executives that are not willing to provide such product (see Thinkpad Retro).

I had (and loved) a few Thinkpads, but I wouldn't produce one if I was a Lenovo executive as well, unless I had extremely good indicators from the market. To me it seems one of those ideas that prospective clients think they'll buy, but they won't.

Realistically speaking, a 13.3" old school Thinkpad nowadays would be twice as thick (~3 cm) and weight 40/50% more than renowned competitors like a Dell XPS or a MBP. There's not much to squeeze, as the philosophy of Thinkpads was (also) to allow the user to change parts, which takes space and weight.

In such conditions, there is a serious risk that it would appeal only to a very limited audience (which is a serious business risk).
Most comfortable? Canada. Seems like they take driving a little more seriously there. In the U. S., California is fine. Lane splitting is legal, drivers mostly competent and attentive, cops are about the right mix between lenient and slapping a ticket on you when deserve it. Even in places like L. A. I felt comfortable, even lane splitting with bags on. CA has its problems, but I like riding there. That obviously doesn’t match your experience, but I sadly haven’t ridden down to CA in probably three or four years. I also tend to kind of stay away from the Bay Area on the bike.

A lot of southern states are good, like North Carolina or Tennessee. Good mountain roads, reasonable drivers. And believe it or not, I’ve like riding in New York City. Don’t let the bike out of your sight lest it be stolen (I am dead serious about that unless you have some serious locking equipment). Obnoxious drivers, sure, but competent and it’s almost as if everyone knows that if we don’t cooperate at least a little, nobody’s getting home tonight. All of this of course is one giant sweeping generalization, so no one need trot out their personal list of exceptions.

But Seattle? I fucking hate driving in Seattle. It’s as if every single driver is sixteen years old on their learner’s permit with two months behind the wheel. There’s a reason one of the topics of the very first Portlandia episodes dealt with driving in the PNW.
Depending on the charge and the defendants' jobs at Equifax, a standard of conduct that could be applied is "knew, or should have known".
If it's just a pointer to a merkle root for the admin chain then they don't get access to the encrypted chat, they'd still have to request access from an existing user.

You could simulate that today by say creating a weird named team (say random GUID), adding a text file like .well-known/keybase-team.txt on the domain with that team name, and then encouraging people to sign up via something like:

keybase request-access `http GET http://example.com/.well-known/keybase-team.txt`
Twitter thread on Andrew Ng's exploitation of young engineers in startup bubble
CNC Machine Owner here, I'll add my very limited take. I do mostly one-off or small run projects at my shop, mostly in furniture. Sometimes I make jigs or other tools to help myself work. I'll say this 1000 time: the tools are seldom the problem, it is usually the CAD/CAM. Even if this tool could abstract away some of the complexity, it is still very difficult to model textiles or other wrapped components on a solid. My friends in the Textile business constantly talk about the difficulties in doing that.

While this might have meant you didn't need seams, even creating the model of what you wanted is more of a professional endeavor than an average hobby. 3D machining of solid parts, by contrast is much easier. Some of these CNC for the masses projects like glowforge and Wazer look easy, but that's because they're really just 2D cutters. The level of complexity that occurs when you go to 3D is big. The additional complexity of dealing with materials that need to stretch is even greater. It is just beyond the average hobby audience.
There's a lesson here about reading the article. The author is a staunch opponent of the 2nd amendment, refuses to own a gun, and lives in a place where discharging one is illegal.
An ode to ed: why [he] started using it on a daily basis
I think you mean "You should never use Django unless you're building a social network". A lot of your arguments seem to only apply to the old guard of frameworks Django, Angular 1, etc...Where there would always be "The X way of doing it..."

All of the popular modern JavaScript frameworks are easy to learn, increase flexibility and creativity, are themselves mostly high powered versions of the core language (no useless knowledge after learning), generally small, and in no way are Facebook, Google, or Microsoft about to abandon React, TypeScript, Angular et al...

And that's just front end frameworks. Express and Koa do nothing to mystify idiomatic JavaScript or server development, and are just implementations of popular, easy to understand programming patterns.
The central question in philosophy of science is a meta-scientific question, as would be expected, and it's the Demarcation Problem. You know this, but I'm restating it for observers: What is the difference between science and pseudoscience, and how can it be realized as a repeatable procedure?

Science should be left to scientists, but the interpretation of science is still an individual responsibility.

I do like the joke that career philosophers know no maths aside from arithmetic and about half of Bayes' Theorem.

we pushed it behind teams, but we'll do it soon. 2 things we want to work on shortly:

(1) switching to short-term exploding message mode (what you would expect from OTR), so your messages can be read and then disappear. And devices don't cache them. This has inconveniences, especially for team chat, but it's what you might want in certain sensitive situations or certain DM's.

(2) a message auto-deletion policy for the team. This is different, and it's been requested by some testers.
Domain names as identity is something I would love to see happen, mostly because I have a vested interesting in selling millions of people those domain names via Hover.com

Keybase does a nice job aggregating those various identities, be it a domain name, Twitter handle, HackerNews ID. It's probably a better solution to help people/businesses establish an interconnected series of online identities that are provably the same entity.

ps. Thanks to Chris for reserving some of the more common team names including hover and making sure we could get our hands on it.
Though Ford is noted as moving to 40 hours per week and gaining productivity in the factory, the 40 hours mostly came from political action from the labor movement.

Personally, I think that our economy is technologically productive enough, and the nature of work has changed enough in many work places, that we should be considering a shorter standard workweek.
It is not not not not NOT the "Google Memo". It's the "memo written by one jackass who was working at Google at the time".

Not likely. They were a "fund of funds", and hedge funds rarely actually disclose their investments even to investors, let alone the general public. You'd be lucky to even get a list from one fund, let alone all of them.
As I've said before, universal web components are a pipe dream.

Developers disagree on even the most trivial things, like the best way to parse a query string. What makes anyone think those disagreements will magically disappear once web components become a standard?

Sure, give us native APIs that allow developers to build web components. But even then, people are not going to be abandoning their preferred frameworks. Frameworks can change their internals to target the new native APIs, but on the surface, they probably won't change much.
But isn't a private business refusing to host such content -- and thus serve customer(s) with a particular (legal-but-unsavory) political bent -- just a form of discrimination?

Consider the recent cases where LGBT customers have been refused service by small companies: because this form of discrimination doesn't fall afoul of the Civil Rights Act (no demonstrable case of discrimination due to race, color, religion or national origin here), is it still ok?

(To kill the strawman before it is erected: no, I'm not equating white nationalists with LGBT customers. But if a private hosting service can deny service to a customer because they differ with that customer on philosophical/political grounds, how is that much different than a bakery, for instance, denying service to a customer on religious grounds?)

I'm chief architect at Slack, and we migrated to Hack from PHP 5 throughout 2016.

The toolchain for HHVM is all installed as a single big deliverable, which gives you the language engine and supporting runtime libraries itself, an in-address-space web server (Facebook's Proxygen), a debugger in the form of hhvm -a, and the Hacklang toolchain accessed via hh_client and appropriate editor/IDE integrations.

I share your intuition that there is actually a glittering core of "stuff-that-makes-you-successful" hiding in the incidental complexity of PHP, and we wrote this blog post trying to put some substance behind that intuition: https://slack.engineering/taking-php-seriously-cf7a60065329
GCP VMs are per-minute, with a minimum of 10 minutes (vs AWS' new minimum of 1 minute). Second resolution is nice, but I doubt it makes much difference in pricing for most workloads. https://cloud.google.com/compute/pricing#billingmodel

Azure's containers don't use a full VM-- they're more like AWS Lambda or other serverless frameworks, so they do per-second billing with no minimums.

Disclaimer: I work at Google on Container Engine.

Saudi Arabia and Qatar are in a huge diplomatic fight right now with embargoes and lots of tricks to influence powers (like buying airplanes, arms etc from USA, EU...)

>MALONE: For the brother monarchies, Al-Jazeera was almost immediately an annoyance because, suddenly, you have a neighbor with a news network snooping through your trash, digging up your dirt, reporting on your scandals.

>SMITH: And this whole problem really came to a head during the Arab Spring, which, you may remember, there were all these sort of grassroots people's movements in Tunisia and Libya and Egypt. And Al-Jazeera really made its name being there on the ground with the revolutionaries, featuring them and, you know, sometimes glorifying them.

>MALONE: And when you're Saudi Arabia or another monarchy sitting and watching this, this is not good for you. You are worried that you may be next.

>KRANE: You know, here is one of their brethren with this news channel that's kind of egging on the revolution, you know. So they - you know, of course they're pretty upset about it.
Philosophy is easy. It takes a different skill set and is a more developed field, however their is nothing that verifies mistakes so you can succeeded without being absolutely correct.

The problem is when you confuse what you need to do to succeed with the search for truth.
It's half a cent per song play. Artists on record labels will be receiving a small percentage of that, independent artist will pocket most of the half penny, and consequently will get paid ~$480 for every 100,000 plays.

After $100 registration per album, on CDBaby, the artist receives 100% of the receipt. Bandcamp takes 15%. So, yes, there are ways to buy music in which an artist receives the money: we just don't choose to buy albums because streaming is cheaper and more convenient. But don't fool yourself: virtually none of the $500 you paid went to support the artists or further their work.
My rule for cooking is now to never buy any cookware unless I'm going to use it that day.
I figured jQuery would be fine. Now that I think about it, I can't imagine why most things wouldn't really, since all javascript libraries are just extensions of those things.

Does CoffeeScript just convert the modules methods/functions accordingly when needing to be called?

Just curious how that works.

Since so much of JavaScript development, especially nowadays, ties into a lot of frameworks/libraries (modules? I'm not always sure what we want to call it), I just didn't see a reference (maybe I missed it) on their page in regards to what it actually looks like to invoke module/framework/library specific things.
Sometimes it's easier to fill in the blanks with commonsense ideas, yes. Much philosophy is deliberately obscure precisely to avoid that.

Deleuze (or Leibniz, Nietzsche, Heidegger...) are not out to persuade you of any particularly easily-digestible position. Their whole project is to make you think.

Thinking is not comfortable, I know.
