Sorry but sourcetree isn't exactly the best benchmark for native performance. Quite the contrary actually. It is the worst piece software i've ever used, just staging a file can take like 10 seconds.

I find it interesting how strongly HN as a collective believes corporate America isn't a meritocracy in some threads, while in others it assumes hiring decisions are all about merit.

The difference mostly seems to revolve around whether sexism is brought up.

Here we are discussing men joining men-only organisations for networking purposes and the general consensus is basically "duh, that's how I got my job. Everyone knows that's how it works!"
Knowing that there will be better hard drives in the future for less money has some effect on your willingness to purchase. Expectations of the future matter. The US Treasury is getting considerably less revenue right now from capital gains than usual because tons of financial entities are holding off on realizing returns from their investments now and are holding them until possible tax reform in the hopes of paying future taxes and thus getting greater returns.

In your example, HDD space is purely a good to be consumed though and not a currency (or an investment beyond an actual capital investment because it does work for data storage). Thus, if you need to store data, you will buy storage simply because you need it then. But you can't sell that storage in the future for a positive return, so the incentive I'm talking about doesn't really exist in the example you used.
> But there are countries in Africa who can already do better by simply leapfrogging to bitcoin and ditching their national currencies.

This may be technically true, but probably won't happen anyhow. There's a reason that those currencies are terrible, and that reason is that a person or people in power benefit from the seigniorage that is the cause of the currency inflation.
It's not a perfect test - but we can test it on ourselves - when we're a dream, and then we really realise we're in a dream, then we're more conscious than if we didn't.

Nope. The PATENTS file specifically says that if Facebook initiates patent litigation (related or unrelated to React) you can counter sue Facebook AND keep your React patent grant.

"...if Facebook or any of its
subsidiaries or corporate affiliates files a lawsuit alleging patent
infringement against you in the first instance, and you respond by filing a
patent infringement counterclaim in that lawsuit against that party that is
unrelated to the Software, the license granted hereunder will not terminate
under section (i) of this paragraph due to such counterclaim."

You clearly want them to prioritise market share but I noticed you didn't provide any direction on how to do that other than "stop what you're doing now". Not only is that unhelpful, it seems like your comment is plain wrong. The best way to gain market share is to build a better product, which is what they're doing.

You can make a positive return in terms of hard disk space. Refrain from swapping USD for hard disk space, and you can get more hard disk space in the future. This applies to all sorts of goods, like TV's, music players, etc. The value of USD is increasing against these goods, yet people still make the trade of USD for goods. I suppose if we increase the inflation of USD such that the price of hard disk space increases in USD terms, then people will be more inclined to swap USD for hard disk space sooner, and it will be a boon for the hard disk industry. But is that real economic growth? It smells more like malinvestment to me. One could even make the argument deflation is good for the environment, people are only inclined to consume that which is necessary, and the structure of the economy's physical capital will be realigned to support that pattern of consumption instead.

if you are rich enough you can also just pay taxes and keep a passport that allows visafree travel mostly anywhere and not have to force people to fly to a different country to see you.

Its a fun thought experiment for sure but ultimately if you're at the level of wealth that running from the taxman gets you huge gains, either you have other problems (like being some sort of druglord) or you have enough money to also just pay taxes

As much as i would like to agree with you, it should be a simple problem and there should be many comparable alternatives available, i can't because frankly all of the free clients in the wild suck in one way or another. I've been looking for years but everything i tried either looks like a cheap hack made with TkInter or lack one or two vital features. One might have a good branch viewer but lacks interactive staging, another client the opposite, etc.

I haven't tried gitkraken though, maybe it sucks equally much, my point is that there is an open market spot for good git GUI.
> I find it interesting how strongly HN as a collective believes corporate America isn't a meritocracy in some threads, while in others it assumes hiring decisions are all about merit.

It's because HN isn't a collective in the sense that we all share the same opinions (as much as one might reference the hive mind). There's a wide range of opinions, values, and experiences and you'll notice some piping up in one area and others in, uh, others. Add the wrinkle that we're all (well, likely mostly) human with all of the idiosyncrasies of human psychology that implies. We're perfectly capable of hypocri^H^H^H^H^H logical inconsistency. There's a lot of evidence that our rationality is there primarily to rationalize (in the truest sense) our intuitions and explain them to others.
Would the previous license have become relevant if Facebook initiated a patent lawsuit against you?

I'm not the author but here's my answer: I get zero books from the Kindle store because of DRM. I want the book to be mine and be able to read it as I please forever. I considered buying DRMed books and remove the protection. I never did and this is getting difficult or impossible due to better crypto (but it can't defeat OCR). There are plenty of books to read with no DRM on them, or just buy paper.

To answer the OP, I can't be sure but creating an ebook takes time. Try doing it with Calibre, it's an interesting exercise. Easy for text novels, not so much for books with many pictures, formulas, tables, footnotes.

It's nice hardware but as someone who moved to it from RTL dongles, there are a few problems:

- It's super complicated. There are an incredible number of configuration options and I don't know what most of them do. Documentation for them isn't great. Normally common settings aren't easy to find or use.

- Software support is limited. I don't believe I've ever had Gqrx working and though CubicSDR works, things like bandwidth selection in the UI are broken and I end up having to reset the board through the aforementioned complicated tools.

- As sold, it's useless for HF. You need to fiddle around with soldering/desoldering components on the board to make it do HF: https://myriadrf.org/blog/optimising-limesdr-matching-hf/

As a whole for me, it's been an unfortunately negative experience owning one. My RTL-SDR dongles and HackRF are much more useful to me because they Just Work™.

EDIT: I'm talking about the original LimeSDR. I didn't notice that this was the LimeSDR Mini, which I have no experience with.

I kinda understand what it must feel like to have the urge to just smoke a cigarette. And also the social circle which together takes a 10 minute break can be creative.

But for me as a non smoker it is so often annoying. Going to University and often is somebody walking in front of me smoking and I walking directly into it, with no way to avoid it. Waiting for the train and the smoke blows into my direction. I am glad that vaping is getting more and more established. No annoying smell for me. And yes I may be downvoted into Oblivion. But for non smokers the smell is just disgusting.

So I am still greatful for smoking areas. Because it contains the smoke to certain parts of the building which I can avoid.

You don't need muscle mass. All you need to understand as a smaller person is how to use two things to your advantage:

1) your own low mass, which makes you by definition more agile than your opponent

2) the kinetic energy of your opponent.

It takes training, yes, but given that I've seen a 1.65m pixie cop bring down a 2m Russian hulk in a bar fight, alone, in 15 seconds, many movie scenes are not that unrealistic.

Most of the author's points are silly. I was a customer of Bitfinex, and I lost a significant sum of money in the hack, but they paid me back. I couldn't be happier with their handling of it. I'm upset that their poor security practices led them to get hacked in the first place, but once it happened, their handling was pretty ideal. I don't know anyone who was a customer of theirs and doesn't approve of how they handled it, and I know several others that were impacted by the hack.

> They made transactions easier, and in the process created new deposits and bills that increased the supply of money.

This is the fundamental misunderstanding that the whole article is based on, in my opinion. Let me clarify.

Gold and silver were money in this time period. Deposits receipts and bills of exchange are neither gold nor silver. They are derivatives, because they derive their value from allegedly being redeemable in gold/silver. Now, someone issuing either of these derivatives may very well be tempted to issue fraudulent notes (where “fraudulent” is defined as “no means or intent to repay in gold/silver), which is where the wonderful idea of “default” comes in.

When a company is unable to honor its liabilities, it’s in default, and its assets are distributed amongst its creditors. So a private company (e.g. certificate of deposit-issuer, bill of exchange-issuer), and therefore its assets, is forcefully liquidated when it can’t live up to its promises. This is the solution to the problem. As long as we allow the process of default, and forced liquidation, the. if a company makes promises it can’t hold, it dies and disappears from the market.

So, treating issuers of money-derivatives as regular private companies gives its creditors the ability to force it into liquidation, in case it’s unable to honor its promises. Except when government grants special privilege to private companies called “banks”, and make them exempt from living up to their promises. It’s an understandable reaction from government: short term gain (no turmoil from default), but a long term pain (private companies with government-granted freedom to issue fraudulent derivatives).

Capitalism doesn’t work without recognizing the essential function of the death of a private company. This is the killer feature of capitalism: let unproductive/downright fraudulent companies die, and hand over their assets to its stakeholders.

As long as we recognize deposit receipts, bills of exchange, etc. as simply a promise, and are willing to keep issuers honest, by being able to force default on the company if it can’t live up to its promises, derivatives and money are clearly separated. And no one can “increase the supply of money” by producing derivatives that are allegedly redeemable in this monetary unit, any more than someone can “increase the supply of oil” by issuing and selling oil futures contracts.

I think you'll find, if you check, that that % claim was made by "mcrocop", not by me. It is not what I'm arguing.

My claim was that muslim communities do in fact commit violent attacks against people they perceive as being somehow violating islam/sharia (or merely perceived as vulnerable or undesirable for that matter). I then illustrated with examples that, firstly these attacks do happen, and secondly, that the government statistics on that are "routinely misreported" (quote from the linked article).

And once again you make the argument from ignorance logical fallacy. Just because such a correlation cannot be proven DOES NOT prove the opposite. It does not provide any reassurance that your thesis is true. And if you look at it on a somewhat larger scale you will see how your claim is really the unlikely side of the argument.

It is an absolute known fact that muslim communities, by and large, attack their own members if they are perceived to act against sharia. Read Human Rights Watch. Over 20% of the total human population lives in nation where such attacks are in the laws.

Given that over 90% of muslims worldwide do these attacks, directly or through state actions (passively if you will), why would any sane person even accept your claim that such a thing is not done in immigrant communities as a default claim that requires no evidence ? Talk about far fetched.

Do you see the problem here ?

I don't agree with you. Speed reading exist. Just remember how fast you read in school and in university. It's two different speeds. That skill you can train. It's like going to the gym to train the body. You can train your brain as well. Standart person read with speed 150-200 words per minute, but it's very easy to train speed to 700-1500 words. For example, after some training, I can read with 700-1000 wpm. And as usual, I read 10 books every month. I think it's great.
