My point is that it is incorrect to point to Trump's effort as demonstrating anything that minimizes the upthread comment about the need for consensus among trading partners (and implying such a consensus is unlikely) to achieve the kind of change that was being discussed when that comment was offered. Since Trump's efforts to date neither render moot the need for consensus nor demonstrate that such consensus is within reach.

Regain? Equifax's business model has never depended on having the public's trust in the first place.
As I see it, a large set of computers all running a webserver over TLS can form a cryptographic global consensus (blockchain) for permissionless chat and other stuff. Sure, someone has to be running these serveds. But once they are ubiquitous enough, the government wouldn't be able to stop the chats by arresting / remocing any percentage of machines short of 90% or so.

What kind of traffic correlations would then be taking place? That someone is making requests with one of these servers? It's always hard to arrest a meaningful number of users once the network itself is resilient, uses a common protocol that resists deep inspection, and has no major points of failure.
I must have missed something here. What does serverless mean? What is it that is serverless?

How can a normal user make a judgement whether something is OK or not?
That's absolutely true, but I think the author's argument is likely to be that the popularity of Spark and Hadoop in the first place is misguided, and in a world where people were paying attention to performance instead of novelty, we'd have something like Spark and something like Hadoop that was optimized for a single computer, not for scaling for the fun of scaling.
> for that sacrifice

Was career a sacrifice or something that she was happy to get rid of in exchange to support?

I think I can find men who would be happy to do chores if a woman would be supporting them with high-paying job, and essentially zero women who will agree to such arrangement.

Staying at home without working is a bad decision and you certainly can't chain man over it when it doesn't work. Promising of life-time alimony, in some extreme cases for a wife who never had any children even, is just pushing women into making this bad decision.
That's why they don't have nice things.
I don't think this needs to be directly tied to public education. My concern is more that educational startups tend to assume an institutional model (i.e an institutions defines what is being learned, how it's being learned etc etc). They don't need to change public education but rather create services that embody a different educational paradigm.

For example a matchmaking service for shared learning goals or interests could for sure be within the power of a startup. Something like 42[0] but without a fixed institution. Or community level organized learning environments for various subjects. Or even to go more in the vien of Papert and Turtle, a npm type system but with a strict pedagogical focus.

There's a ton of systems that can be hugely powerful without depending on a classroom model or a school/institution. And there's no reason these can't be as impactful or more as systems and services targeted towards public/institutional education.

No. That's entirely simple, and this is gutter journalism (not that you'd expect better from the Daily Mail).

There is no evidence that this is the case, and about a thousand reasons that a correlation might be observed: not least the fact that Apple releases iOS updates at the same time that new phones are released.

Let's not even start on the "APPLE DENIES CREATING AN iOS 'BACKDOOR' FOR GOVERNMENT" boxout in that same article.

I can't stress it enough – don't promote articles published in the Daily Mail. They are uniformly shit.

As a teenager, I had read this book called The Forest and The Sea, by Marston Bates, which explains many of the fundamental principles of ecology that underlie these issues.

I thought it was a pretty good and informative book.

Even that isn't really accurate. Wechat is an app ecosystem, it is as much like Google Play as it is like WhatsApp. Also, Facebook and google services remain popular in greater china outside of the mainland.
As someone who is sometimes forced to watch media from the mainland due to family, unless censorship is relaxed - this isn't going to happen.

Creativity is inhibited when you have the cost of wondering whether what you've written or what you'll say will land you in jail. This problem is multiplied 1000x if you work in anything related to media or art. Consequently mainland entertainment will always be safe and boring. It's not going to see success like say South Korean or Japanese media industries

It's super obvious that the state of the mainland China entertainment industry is so terrible when you have most Chinese pirating foreign media
The federal government can forbid any of its employees from using the said service out of security concerns, a la Kaspersky. With network effect this can be an insurmountable challenge. Why should anyone try?
Admittedly slim, but much slimmer if you spend 40 hours a week working for someone. :)

Being one of the relatively few people who knew about developing mobile applications in 2008, I tried to do something “on the side” with a coworker. Another much better funded company was able to move faster than we could even though you could tell from their product that they didn’t know the industry they were chasing.

The only way we could have been competitive (not necessarily successfully) was by being able to dedicate to it full time and networking and selling during normal business hours. So yeah, a small independent developer who has to work full time is ata major disadvantage.
Sending coins to yourself, aka churning, might not work so well after all, according to the latest MRL report. They say:

"
We at the Lab previously thought that one possible solution to knacc's described attack would be churning, where one sends funds to oneself multiple times before using at a merchant. Unfortunately, this leads to chains of self-referential transactions, which leave an undesirable and identifiable statistical signal.
"

Now the follow-up I've gotten says that this just means you can't churn too quickly. There is still no analysis of how often to churn, how long you need to wait, and on and on, until you're safe. The Monero wallets offer no way to manage your inputs either, so if you ever re-use a wallet (exchange->WalletA->WalletB a couple times) you'll leave even more of an trace.

So the number one idea that springs to mind, Exchange->Monero->Exchange, might be a worst-case scenario where you can easily be linked with a high probability. Especially when the approximate input time is known.

For instance, if you know a target exchanged Bitcoin in a certain transaction, you can simply trace all possible chains from that output and see when one hits an exchange, prioritizing shortest first: if an exchange output goes right back to an exchange, that's probably enough to get a warrant or targeted investigation.

Furthermore, an attacker could make a bunch of transactions so other transactions use known inputs, reducing effective ringsize even more. This wouldn't be very expensive at current volumes.

Even still, Monero still seems far ahead of competition. My biggest concern is that they don't put any sort of disclaimers, and incorrectly state it's untraceable. This will get people into trouble. The Tor Project does a far better job of being clear with the risks and shortcomings. The Monero community, mostly, seems to just advertise as if everything was solved. That plus the ridiculously low ring sizes feel rather irresponsible.
You could censor it from you r post if you think it's private information (I do).
> supporting my husband's career

This is a weasel right here. You claim you did something, but never specify what.

Indeed, successful women are not lining for men who will "support their careers" for a chunk of income.

I want children and I have, with a responsible woman who is a self-sufficient person herself. That's what makes marriage work. Not the good intentions, but objective and subjective value of spouses to each other.
I just upgraded my old iMac (Mid 2010) to High Sierra which has a custom upgraded drive (Crucial 500GB). Running encrypted (FileVault) on previous Sierra and new High Sierra.

I am not seeing any difference in terms of read and write performance according to Blackmagic Disk Speed Test.

Solid 250 MB/S read and write for both HFS+ Encrypted and APFS Encrypted.

The caveat is that I know the iMac machine is old. I am in the process of upgrading my one month old 2017 MacBook Pro with Touchbar to High Sierra and will return with those results to see if indeed APFS encrypted shows a significant slowdown on newer hardware.

No, no, I don't think you're being dismissive! I appreciate that you've taken the time to reply seriously to my whiny rant.

I haven't given details because I don't really have any, it's just a general feeling of foreignness I've had since I started reading HN and about startups. Even now that I technically could, I'd frankly feel ashamed of spending money on most of the tech trinkets that get advertised here, let alone dedicated my life to building them. And yet, I also know this is just relative - my $250 laptop is an extravagant expense for actually poor people - so I don't judge those founders. I just wish there were more startups for working-class people from where to draw inspiration.

Anyway, thanks for your patience and support :)

Living in Chicago, I can say that at least the people I've talked to, and the feeling on r/chicago, is that people are really excited about it. Chicago isn't afraid to build big. There are already a few massive sites in former industrial wastelands close to downtown that have submitted bids. And there are currently tons of high capacity housing projects recently completed and soon to be competed, so no one is afraid the city is going to turn into SF. The only place you can't build big is in the park space by the lake.
Personally I think a Canadian city will win. Simply because we have a large, educated workforce that can't simply move to the US.

Although, I will add, the immigration benefits here are over-stated, we've always had more controls on immigration than the US has, and we still do.

This only ends up helping the already wealthy.
Weird, because I was on Prodigy and it worked beautifully for me; and it's the only reason I'll even give online gaming a marginal glance nowadays.
I think it would depend on what you're defining as 'that city.' If you mean the legal entity that enjoys tax revenues then yes, but for the people already living there they won't be getting those $100,000 Amazon jobs. So that means a bunch of people from outside the area suddenly moving in with a lot of money to throw around.

Sure, there will also be network effects where service level jobs expand but having been priced out of their former neighborhoods, watching people with perhaps little respect for the local culture or history coming in and changing things, I don't think the prospect of Amazon's new HQ is really all that positive for a city struggling as you hypothesize.

I went appliance shopping there too, around the same time. Cheap-ish fridge that's still going strong, and an LG washer and dryer (LG repaired the washer under warranty last year). The Sears I bought them from was razed a couple of years ago.

There are some "Sears home appliance showrooms", and an actual Sears about half an hour away, but there used to be 3 or 4 in that same area.
China has a market economy - more government controlled and regulated than the west - but it's not centrally planned economy like the Soviet Union. They tried that in the past - google Great Leap Forward to see how it ended up.
It's kinda crazy that assessment has been coupled with instruction for so long, it pretty obviously creates a warped incentive model that stands on some real shaky ground.

I think the model also doesn't scale well for assessment, which prompts the creation of few, ineffective, but highly scalable assessments upon which the functioning of the entire system rest, which in turn prompts practices like teaching to the test. This creates even more messed up incentives but this time facing students and teachers as opposed to institutional practices.

I think that assessment, when decoupled, can't be done with an institution or institutions. Instead we need social networks that use a consensus process to define knowledge and who has it.

Your link would be more believable if it linked to the cases or to publicity of the cases.

About the first case: he was a Rangers fan. He posted about the Celtic manager. Are you missing the sectarian violence[1] linked to Celtic and Rangers? Several people have been actually really killed and many others injured in stabbing and other violent crime.

That context is crucial to understanding his arrest.

Also, police weren't just searching for offensive football tweets. They were searching for evidence as part of a case about parcel bombing.

Finally, he wasn't convicted.

tl;dr I don't think much of your link if it misrepresents the case this badly.

EDIT: the second case wasn't just the use of the word "taig", he organised a harassment campaign against a woman

http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-news/tv-comic-lim...

EDIT2: Your link totally misrepresents the criado-perez harassment. She was getting hundreds of direct, credible, threats of harm. One man was sending 50 messages an hour for 12 hours. Have a read of the sentencing remarks: https://www.judiciary.gov.uk/judgments/r-v-nimmo-and-sorley-...

I am sympathetic, but an obvious hurdle is that our employment system is largely biased toward that traditional pipeline. High school GPA/ACT Scores > Various Tiers of High Education > Standardized Credentials for Employment.

I'm not sure how you would resolve the two (without, of course, cracking the nut on a neutral, true-ability assessment system).
"OpenTracing-compatible" is strict API compatibility in any supported language. The cross-language spec is "terminology-based" since it's, well, cross-language.

There is an open issue about Envoy/linkerd/Istio support here: https://github.com/opentracing/specification/issues/86 (as well as in a number of other locations)

As an OpenTracing contributor, the core value prop still seems quite strong in that instrumentation of OSS dependencies is a massive pain point and should not be tracing-system-specific since it doesn't need to be. There is also value in common protocols and formats, and in that spirit there is interest in broadening scope to include those... though from seeing many companies adopt tracing tech, I haven't observed protocol compatibility as the main pain point or blocker.

> I don't think they feel the need to project power and remake the world the way the US and previously the UK do/did

they already do. China wields strong economic influence and pressure over her southeast asian partners, some of whom need to be convinced to give up significant portions of maritime control and territorial rights in an effort to redraw the american sphere of influence in the south china sea region, and further out to establish a new economic status quo in africa and S. Am, where the traditional western world's influence is more political than economic.
Unlike the condescending/facetious replies to your question that pretended people have a problem with progress and prosperity, I'll try to actually answer some of the concerns.

I live in Chicago, which is regarded as a strong candidate for AMZ HQ2. We have probably the second best public transport system in the country and an unsaturated housing market, amazing engineering and science schools, access to a good pool of candidates, and little competition from others in the industry.

However, the concerns we have are that Chicago would turn into another silicon valley with over inflated cost of living and insane real estate market inflation.

While Chicago wages are not comparable at face value to those on either the east or west coasts, once you take into account the price of housing, food, and travel, middle class Chicagoans don't have it bad at all.

The worry is that the SV effect will hit Chicago, and non-tech workers will be priced out of living downtown or in the Chicago metro area even. Also, Chicago has retained some of the qualities of the Midwest that Midwesterners tend to find desirable or endearing, such as few "celebrities" and a "salt of the earth" mentality. But overall, people are willing to give it a chance and hope for the best. Most everyone I know that expresses these sentiments would still appreciate the benefits of having AMZ in town, and the jobs and money it will bring along with the boost to the local economy (and maybe it'll put a damper on the growingly ridiculous efforts of Cook County and state Democrats st raising money from really dumb taxes disguised as social welfare projects as they try to tax their way out of decades of corruption and misspending, giving out ridiculous pensions to state and city employees whike passing the buck to the next generation).
Given the political environment he faces at home, it was nearly a bit unfair to put him on the spot like that. The silence speaks volumes, though. Most meaningful silence I've heard (?) in a while.
So why doesn’t YV encourage companies to set up shop in Nevada or other low tax, low cost of living areas? How many YC companies are paying Bay Area office rents and paying California-level taxes? It’s not ok to not take a market rate salary, but it is ok to have an office in the most expensive zip codes in the country? Does physical proximity to SV make a single bit of difference to a company other than being close to investors? Unless a company is actually making in-person sales calls, why would the Bay Area be relevant? In terms of acquisitions, it matters not if the company is in Mozambique or Cupertino — the balance sheet is really all that matters.

If the goal is to extend runway, why isn’t YC encouraging founders to set up shop in Texas or better yet be fully remote? When a house in SV costs 5 times more than a house in Texas, it’s pretty hard to expect founders to be able to survive on anything less than market rate.
Had you taken on college loans? I know that's how I established my credit and, once I had that in my history, they were all to happy to give me a card with an absurd limit (for me, at the time, with only a work-study job) with little more than my name and SSN.

It seems strange that taking on a ton of unsecured debt would make creditors think it's more likely that you'll be able to pay off even more unsecured debt, but that seems to be how the system works, or at least worked two decades ago when I was in school. Perhaps the emergence of for-profit colleges that don't really offer their graduates the kind of post-schooling opportunities that traditional colleges do has changed the way that college loans are perceived since they no longer reliably predict future earnings the way they used to.
I agree, but "avoiding conflicts" can make somebody look good at politics, until...
Anecdotal, but I have a friend who grew up in China but spent most of his adult life in the US. He's well traveled and his family is wealthy. I thought his time in the US might change his views on the (IMO) oppressive Chinese government, but it has not. He is 100% willing to forgo freedom for ease of life. He prefers the Chinese culture because being a good citizen is almost enforced. I've tried to explain the negatives, but he doesn't seem concerned about anything I brought up.
