I'm not familiar with any details about this vaccine or other therapies, but from what I understand is when you have a partial solution or near total solution like this, you combined it with another therapy so you have two methods of action to dealt a "kill shot" to the target organism or virus. This combined therapy strategy is used in killing Borrelia type infections. Basically they combined two different antibiotics at the same time. Alone they are effective at relapse rate of say only 5% after 14 weeks, combined they can get near 1% or lower. Also when an organism evolves, its genetics can drift causing mutations that are disadvantageous. There a chance the mutation could make it more vulnerable to something just as well as immune to something else, and also there has to be consideration that there is a scenario where that can happen at the same time.

Oops, you're right; I thought it wasn't on RDS. My mistake, and a good reminder to double check these things.
The failure of, say, the Bolivar does not disprove the value of some other currency.

But yeah, I guess if you're the last guy trying to get out of e-Bolivars you're pretty screwed.
PS if you do a "next thing", don't spend very much of your own money on "it". Even though you don't "have" to get outside funding, do the angel/seed/VC thing based on your previous success and the strength of your idea & team... and if any stage fails, bail on "it" and go to the next thing. The investment you can make is not paying yourself a salary for a year while you figure out if the product succeeds during the angel round stage. Just my $0.02, your mileage may vary.
Dogecoin was created explicitly to have a low value suitable for micropayments & tipping. It hasn't really worked out much better for Dogecoin...interest in it seems to have waned a long time ago.

My bet is that it hasn't caught on as a medium of exchange simply because that's not really a major pain point. Cryptocurrency's competition as payment isn't $USD; it's Visa, Mastercard, Discover, Stripe, Square, and other payment processors. People bitch about these companies, but they usually bitch about them from a concentration-of-power-and-fees standpoint (which Bitcoin doesn't actually solve, once you consider the costs of the commercial Bitcoin exchanges), not a convenience one. When it comes to convenience, whipping out a wallet-sized piece of plastic or your cell phone is a lot better than waiting 12 minutes for a transaction to settle on the blockchain.

PostgreSQL can use that optimization since an index scan in PostgreSQL still returns all tuples from the heap in index order, not in heap order. During an index scan PostgreSQL traverses the B-tree in index order and for each matching tuple found in the index it fetches the data from the heap (which is a quite cheap O(1) operation).

Since i'm not a lawyer, I have questions...

The patents grant was irrevocable except under explicitly described conditions. A license change wasn't one of these conditions.

So:

1) Does the patent grant still apply? i.e. is it now MIT + Patents?

2) If yes/no, what about existing users of React? i.e. if you were a user up to the point of the license change, do you get the grant, but new users don't?

3) Doesn't not having the grant make us worse off? Presumably only the Apache 2 license would be an improvement in this regard?

4) Is this all just PR theater?
Yeah, I get it. But that's what I mean; MIR is the common sub-language that's the same across epochs.

I don't think there's any real plans for a source-based approach. But epochs can only change a limited amount of things for exactly this reason; they minimize the compiler burden of supporting them.

You want to watch out for when trains of thought become unscientific.

This part is science: "After carefully controlling for all variables, we can conclude that the choice to join a fraternity has these quantifiable downstream impacts, on average."

This part is just-so stories: "That happens because . . . "

I know it's aggravating, but to insist on a high degree of caution in demonstrating a truth and then to insist on none when it comes to interpreting it lends reckless thinking an undeserved veneer of respectability.
I think projects like Latitude[1] and Kalu Yala[2], while easy to poke fun of as examples of Silicon Valley out-of-touchness, also reveal the deep longing many of us have for genuine, spontaneous community interaction. I lived in a student co-op in college and it was the most significant social event of my life; how I wish there were more avenues in the “real” world to live, laugh, and love in a community of equals under the same roof!

(One major issue from the SV side, I think, is that the business models don’t align with the goals. A startup aiming to tackle this problem would probably need to be organized as a cooperative. See “Jungletown” for an example of what happens when community thinking butts up against top-down, profit-driven leadership.)

China likes to aggressively censor pretty much everything that even remotely criticizes the party or its history.

It isn't a crime; it is punished by the ruling warlords. And it isn't the buying/possession of narcotics which is forbidden. What they forbid is to buy narcotics which have been grown/made by the warlords enemies (free independent people)
Seems a bit odd to post this now considering all were fixed earlier this year.
Without meaning to be dismissive, I doubt that would happen in the US at least at this point in time. And to the extent it did happen, there would be bigger problems to worry about.

Determinations of competency already happen in the US for all sorts of reasons. I'm not saying it's perfect by any means, and that it doesn't get abused, but the abuse of that system pales in comparison to abuses under the current drug enforcement and regulation system.

Personally, I am for complete unrestricted deregulation, but I can see issues around liability for providers, arguments about actual competency to decide, etc., and treating it like other forms of competency decision seems like one mechanism to address that.

Medically speaking it seems like the same situation to me as competency issues due to other forms of neuropsychological incapacitation.
In my opinion, you got it exactly right, simply by sticking to "it is a ledger." The value (not price) of BTC is wholly in the authenticity of who has what, and that this is backed by distributed consensus rather than states. BTC demonstrates that the truth about "who has what" is more important than what the "what" actually is. I think the "what" is simply currency, or the debt-based value you wrote about. People buy into it by converting other valued currency, or by doing work, same as ever.

As to the USD price, I am less sure. My weak working hypothesis is that it is driven by adoption + projected future adoption. That is, how much people value it means how much they value being in on this particular ledger.
I love HN, and I hate to risk my account, but I'm tired of responses like this.

You're being an asswipe. There is no reason for you to respond this way. The lens upon which you view the world must be pretty god damned shallow to make these kinds of statements. If you want to be a fuckstick and reply like this, please find another community.
I would say it does, but a high price is not the goal, but a stable, sane price.
How much physical cash would you have access to if banking/financial networks were no longer accessible?
Yes, I agree with you. Public datasets haven't been of much worth to us in the data analytics department of a financial institution. It's messy and doesn't join well with our internal data.

"Strict rules of conduct" -- pff! How retro!
It's borderline. Even if all the people in the know know it, it wasn't accepted as fact when it was't convenient. Or rather, politicians could pretend it wasn't real / a problem.
I'm really beginning to wonder where you get your info. This is not the first - but hopefully it is the last - time that you make these incredible accusations against large companies, enough to put their execs in jail, only of course there is never any substantiation, just your allegation.

Both Facebook and Google's lawyers want to create a world where software patents don't block innovation.

BSD + Patents doesn't look like the way we'll get there. Is there a way we can get there without putting "power in the hands of the big players" in the interim?
Foobar is amazing but it takes some time to learn all the features and find all the good plugins
Disagree. $300K/yr with $10MM in the bank will absolutely feel rich.

The reason people with $300K household incomes in Boston/NYC/Silicon Valley don't feel rich is because out of that $300K, they're buying housing and saving for retirement/college/rainy day. Take that away, and $300K spendable is a fairly luxurious lifestyle.
Webrender, the next gen rendering/compositing engine for Servo, will become the default renderer for Firefox Nightly at the end of this year and several components like CSS and URL parsing have been in Firefox stable for a while now. That alone puts Rust in the multi-million end user club for some complicated software
It creates continued uncertainty. If all the tools/libraries in the React ecosystem (such as React Native) don't all have the license, then we will probably stay the course with Vue. While Vue is amazing, React has a larger ecosystem. But if that entire ecosystem isn't available due to licenses then we might as well stick with Vue.
My filter: avoid all super hero movies.
Author here. Thanks for reporting. It works for me on Firefox 55.0.3 (64-bit) on MacOS. Do you have any other plugins installed? Which OS and Firefox version are you using? In what way does it "not work"? No audio? No UI? Any leads would be appreciated!

Whatever you do, don't try to sell without the help of a banker. Also negotiate the best possible deal with the banker you choose.

Unlike real world financial markets, what happens on crypto markets at the moment doesn't really impact anyone which doesn't choose to be impacted.

Meaning nobody is forced to trade DOGE, so if you can't handle the heat, don't enter the kitchen.

More interestingly to me, nobody would enter a sprint race again Usain Bolt, or even a national-level athlete, because they know they would lose, but somehow, they believe that they can enter the financial or crypto markets, not realizing that it's exactly the same thing, most likely they have exactly 0% chance of being profitable over the long run.

There was a funny (sad?) documentary about retail traders, and I remember a mom which traded from a small laptop while also taking care of her small kids at the same time. You can imagine how well that ended. She probably didn't even realize that she's trading against armies of very smart people who do this 24/7 and have a lot of resources and experience.
Then you'd need to lower prices (margins) to attract customers from the other business, and then you aren't getting 10x from the workers.

Any way you want to slice it, making 10x off of workers is unstable in that there are market forces acting against it.
It's ok to say "fucks" on HN, especially if it's a direct quote (and in this case fairly relevant since he was a fairly crass man).
Staying organized is key to making sure you deliver your promises to your clients. Without knowing the details of what you're trying to breakdown, I will share that we create calendars for all of our clients and mark everything up so we can visualize everything we need to do within, say a week for all our clients. We're also looking to build a product to help us manage all our relationships.

Oh sure, a framework used on a quarter of the web might have had something to do with it, but actually it was my Hacker News comment the day after the Wordpress news, that put the final, decisive nail in the coffin. It captured so many people's hearts and minds, it ended up with seven upvotes ...and still counting. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. Yup, 7.

Except not all the pieces of the React ecosystem are changing license, so... we'll probably end up staying with Vue.
The interview is very light on details. Is it really so plainly simple to draft from a person’s bank account using only the information on a check?
I dunno... As a frequent air traveller, I appreciate the less tall screen in the cramped space of an airline seat, and greater stability.

And I say that as a previous 4:3 adherent.

It really is a tradeoff and I'm not convinced either is objectively better. It all depends on your use cases.

$320k disposable every year is very different from $320k post-tax income. With the latter, you'd probably be stashing nearly half of it away for various reasons. The annual spending of a person drawing $320k post-tax from their investments is more comparable to someone earning about $500k post-tax from work.
And lots of people don't. For the student, it sounds like a useful venue to learn social skills.
I... well, I kinda expected it. Facebook wanted their products to be used, but it was obviously their legal department that made them put the patent clause in. The more people who develop using their libraries, the more contributions they get back, and the more benefit they get from it.

I almost guarantee you none of the devs wanted that weird-ass patent clause in there, but I'm guessing that none of them thought that it was a big deal in the long run, just CYA shit you'd expect from a legal department.

They were proven wrong, and it impacted their market share, they raised a stink about it and they got it changed.
Annual recurring revenue, I'm not sure if monthly

> [...] most people have nothing to say to each other!

Funny how this premise is completely true but his prediction fell completely flat.

It turned out that most economic impact didn't come from people talking to each other but making it possible for people to part with their money when "talking" to machines.

In that regard I see a very bright future cryptocurrencies that enable machines to pay other machines automatically and programmaticaly.
That's not fair. The lawyers at my company (Fortune 150) may have been irrational in forbidding us from using React, but they were hardly influenced by memes.
Thank you for explaining it to me. It totally makes sense.

I can't help but think of the old "what are you trying to optimize for?" question though. Gitlab.com is OK for me because I don't make money writing code so I'm OK just getting free private repositories and any ci stuff I get is just gravy. I used to think "how will they ever make money?" and this makes sense.

I read this other story about how a DNS service was getting rid of its free tier because the free tier users can't convert. I think gitlab and github have found a good opportunity by giving away free service to free and open source software which means people will have experience using the service and might just keep using it at work (haven't checked but I'm sure github enterprise is not cheap).
This is some great fiction but, despite some factual flaws this modern day Jesse Livermore need only remember the original died broke blowing his brains out.

I'm more than willing to bet you are happy to voice your opinion on any given subject, including this one as you try to snuff my viewpoint out with claims about my attempt at oppression. Why can't I add my own opinion and voice? Just because you don't like what I think.

This is the same misguided logic you tried to use on bad_user. You really don't get it and honestly I don't care if you ever do or not.
I too work for a Fortune 150 company and we've gone all in on React.
In addition to the fully open options; you can connect to AirPlay devices with PulseAudio if you have the module for it installed. Not sure if it's default on many distros since I use Arch (where little to nothing is installed by default).
Hopefully you are right. Competition is always good.
Does MIT licensing fix the patent issue?

Why not just go with BSD and drop the problematic patent clauses?
It doesn't work at all without the peer network. However, you might be able to construct an "IOU" of sorts by creating a signed transaction offline, to be fed to the network later. (I'm not 100% sure whether anti-replay features make this impractical.)
yes, there is zero confirmation on stuff like ACH transfers, all you need is an account number, which is contained on the checks.
You should also add low interest financing to that list, as alipay does for vendors who sell on the alibaba platform.

Just a little remark. I noticed you seem to focus on Bitcoin whereas the ones replying to you talk about cryptocurrencies in general.

Bitcoin's scope is deliberately limited and focused on being a currency. Other cryptocurrencies have a wider scope and more potential utility.
Take most any statement about why the Internet was revolutionary and replace "message" with "money".

You can send [it] to anyone without anyone's permission*

You can back [it] up in multiple electronic locations.

[it] is resistant to censorship*

. . . and so on. Like the Internet, it's not invincible. States can degrade it if they choose to make the effort. But why would they, if it were valueless? Just to protect investors from an evil Ponzi scheme? OK - let's assume that's the case.

Isn't gold a Ponzi by your definition? If you say no, it's not because of the collective idea that gold is a store of value, it's because of this or that industrial/practical application, I respectfully disagree.

I'm sure if you think hard enough about it you can imagine some actual value from programmable money. Here's a start, this guy does a better job than me of articulating just some of them:

No, it would disarm the group whose software is used by everyone else. If you're a small company, it's not likely that you have written stuff that Facebook uses. So, that world looks like one where all big companies are untouchable, but they can easily pick on small companies. Really not good.
