Can't say I agree.

Some of the most narrow-minded and ignorant people I have encountered have been much older than me.

Age does not necessarily confer wisdom.

I also don't agree with the you must respect your elders adage. Respect to is something you should apply to everyone until they give you a reason to do otherwise, but age in and of itself is not a reason to command respect.
We still have a serious problem with mail client behavior. There is so much that clients could still do to add basic security, even though E-mail protocols are terrible.

For instance, why do we not see in every client a big warning at the top saying something like: “NOTE: YOU HAVE NEVER RECEIVED E-MAIL FROM THIS INTERNET LOCATION BEFORE.”? Heck, such messages should even be auto-quarantined to specific folders. It would go a long way to protect people from constantly opening spam.

And, why by default do they insist on making everything look “simple” and “clean” at the expense of helping users to do even the most basic validation? They show senders as short names like “Facebook” when CLEARLY the message is coming from facebook.spammer.com or whatever when you do even the slightest digging into the original message.

Why are “rules” so complex, since damn near everybody needs them for basic sanity? There ought to be a button in every message saying something like “Mark Every Future Message From This Sender as Junk”, and similar short-cuts.

I understand that you can't demand the same things from a non-profit ecosystem like Linux like you can from Windows or MacOS, but that being said the lack of good support for multiple monitor setups is infuriating. I've tried to get a "Laptop HTPC" setup working several times and it always takes a bunch of ugly hacks to even make it usable -- and you can forget about doing any of it in any kind of GUI, most of the time that will even make things worse.
At the next conference you attend I encourage you to mainly focus on the people there, rather than the talks – more often than not, the topics of those talks will come up in even more interesting discussions anyways :)
Doesn't that make sense, though? If you have a physical product that you use daily, I don't think it's entirely unreasonable to ask how a failure after 700+ uses (or many, many more) can be confirmed as a manufacturing issue and not use [over|mis|ab]use.
> Vim lists `:q' and `:help' prominently in the middle of the screen when you first start it.

Only when you start it by itself intentionally, not when you want to edit something and your $EDITOR is not set, then you end up in vim without an idea, how to quit.

I remember (in the mid-90s) making another telnet session and killing vi. Swearing in the process. Yes, I later learned the :q! command.

Yeah, and if ISIS were running an ISO 9001 certified terror plot, that's exactly how they'd do it.

But in the real world, a terrorist doesn't just spawn at the other end of de_dust. They know others in these social circles long before they're radicalised.

The current crop of terrorists also happens to be a few landings short of a pilot's license, so to speak: the "Four Lions factor" (named for the movie) refers to the hypothesis that the aggressors' incompetence has been a major factor foiling their plans. How are they going to use a VPN if they frequently blow themselves up because they get confused by time zones?

Not that I consider this policy good in any possible way. It's one more example of that country softly proclaiming "all men are created equal / with unalienable rights", then turning around and making visitors feel like Somalian hostages. But if I were tasked with unearthing terrorist networks, I'd definitely get entirely to excited at the prospect of getting access to the Facebook graph.

This is why for most software (think about anything you run in your browser/phone/desktop pretty much that isn't mission or life critical) software quality, architecture and design ZERO VALUE. In fact that value it delivers is negative since it takes time and human effort to do it which costs money and there's no money to be made from say, correctness.
They're volatile, but they have low correlation with other asset classes. You can put a small portion of your assets in crypto and lower the overall risk of your portfolio.

They also have very high Sharpe ratios (the ratio between returns and volatility), though given crypto's short history we shouldn't trust that too much.

Not at all. I'm arguing that paying artist per album is a stupid model that doesn't reflect reality. The only reason we pay per album is that it made sense when distribution was hard. Now that distribution is a solved problem, we need to adjust our economic model to match.

_Snow Crash_ is one of Neal Stephenson's best, including the cinematic ending.

The novel's depiction of different tribes and factions is done with care and respect, so that the cultural melange of ethnicities, customs, and technologies is convincing and compelling.

Given Stephenson's sensibilities in _Snow Crash_, I wonder if Amazon will have the forthrightness and integrity to cast Hiro Protagonist as mixed-race black and Korean. [0]

> His father was a sergeant major, his mother was a Korean

Poverty is correlated with education because education is expensive. If the causation doesn't go in the direction you expect, solving poverty with free college might be like solving poverty with free yachts and free diamonds.

This is really interesting. I have an idea where this could be helpful to the Plex user community. Recently Plex added a header that blocks the page from being iframed (X-Frame-Options).

Would doing something like this, obviously replacing example.com with their own domain.com, replace the offending header?

addEventListener('fetch', event => {
let request = event.request;
if (request.headers.has('X-Frame-Options')) {
let newHeaders = new Headers(request.headers);
newHeaders.set('X-Frame-Options', 'ALLOW-FROM https://example.com/');
event.respondWith(fetch(request, {headers: newHeaders}));
}

// Use default behavior.

Some of the decrease may be due to increased obesity and reduced cardiovascular fitness. Those factors are known to reduce cognitive ability. They're also correlated with age, although lately even young people have been getting worse on average.
I studied mathematics in Mexico City as an undergrad and know plenty of people who tried to go to a math conference in the US but had their request for a visitor visa denied. (I've personally never been denied a US visa, and I think most of my friends have been able to go to the US whenever they want, but still plenty of people get denied.) The embassy doesn't give you a reason and there's nothing you can do about it. In the future the reason they don't tell you could easily be "It seemed fishy that he didn't have a twitter account" or "Last facebook post from a year ago? Must be a fake account". If you aren't told the reason it can be anything.
You are right, it's getting worse everywhere - it has been so for far too long.

That said, I can't imagine a more unwelcoming tourist entry into a "western" country than the US at this point in time.

They have enough money to give building the first ever BFR a shot. If it turns out good and the reusability works, they can do a lot of contracts with it, like servicing ISS, and launching a new big space telescope. From there on the advantages and possibilities of having a reusable high payload system will be very clear, and with 3-4 of them, a moon base would already be possible. We'll see what happens but the plan looks solid at least.
We have ever-increasing amount of money in the system (banks figure out ways to create money)

But there isn't much real growth in useful, appreciating assets. E.g. most of production capacity these days operates with ever-thinner profit margins.

Therefore money flows in a few vehicles still considered performing. Such as real estate. This creates a lot of bubbles in the absense of real growth.

This is not unlike to when a ship sinks, everybody clutters at the ever-smaller area still over water.
There are several issues to be aware of with the way society and technology is evolving for sure, but when you just shout "wake up sheeple!" and offer nothing but hand waving, you are not contributing much in that regard.
I don't think it's racist, more classist. The "new" diesels are threatening to obsolete the older, dirtier, less efficient "steamies", the the steam engines understandably resent them for it. It reminds me more of the dynamic in The Office between the warehouse and office workers than anything to do with race.
from what i can tell, this would not apply to you (conference attendees / speakers), but even though they said immigrants seeking visa, perhaps they could mean a broader set of visas.

I've seen a guy brag about his cryptocurrency stash, and if you went through his post history he'd also talked about where he lived and his profession. If he leaked any other details (through HN or crossreferencing other sites), he might be a really vulnerable target and not even realize it.

I'm not sure how, but I'm very sure that our current model makes no sense. The cost of producing media is all up-front now. It used to be that it cost a lot up front, and a lot to distribute. We would charge people on the distribution side, because that was easier. Now that there is no need for a distribution system, we need to find better funding systems for those companies, rather than relying on the physical media mindset.

People are still paying a lot of money right now to fund media even though they can get it for free. It's not that people won't or don't want to pay, it's that we're paying on the wrong side of an outdated economic model.

Ask HN: Can you “sell” more Bitcoin than you actually own?
Say I run a wallet service where users can buy bitcoins from me and keep them in their "online wallet". When a user clicks "buy", do I have to actually buy bitcoins for the user?

Or can I just simply update my database to increment their balance when a user clicks "buy"?

What happens if I try to "sell" more Bitcoins than I own? For a service like Coinbase, is there a way for them to prove that they actually have the bitcoins for a user?

What information does the government keep in the "immigration files" of naturalized citizens?

There's a little bit of documentation that makes sense to me, something from the country of origin and a distillation of the naturalization paperwork that confirmed it was completed. But I don't see what information beyond that would be worth keeping.
I'm not concerned. Auto loans are inherently secured - they just repo your car. And unlike houses, auto prices are not drastically over valued.
Regular intercontinental flights have the same problem. With transport this fast, you could theoretically fly in the morning, have a full day of meetings, and be home by the evening. With regular flights you'd spend a full day traveling both ways
I don't know if it is common, certainly the reviews for the following three did not seem as warm as for the first, which was also the only one to win a Hugo. This is why I prefaced it with "if you like literature", because I think it depends on how much fiction you've read before and what you think is still fresh. Hyperion is most definitely fresh, a wild, tightly written run of imagination mixing Chaucer, Dune and Asimov with Heart of Darkness.

The problem with the way he wraps up the story [SPOILERS-ish] is that you feel that he was up against a wall and couldn't find a satisfactory way to connect the dots and picked the easy way out (similar to a deus ex machina - and yes, the Shrike sort of is one, but it limits itself predictably for your enjoyment). There is a certain suspension of disbelief, rules of the story you are willing to accept as it is woven, and through which you pick a direction and a pace, and he breaks them out of desperation.

A less major gripe I had was the stupidity of the "enemy". A worthy opponent would find it easier to manipulate humanity; in other words, a supposedly phenomenal antagonist is weakened to fill plot gaps. For an example of the opposite, watch the chess game between the two sides in Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy and Smiley's People (the BBC miniseries, not the modern remake which does not come close to Alec Guinness' performance). Karla is ferocious, intelligent, unstoppable, it is life's randomness that in a believable way opens the weakness (very well defended, throughout, but ultimately indefensible) that allows Smiley to get him.

And of course [spoiler!] the Dune series was heading to a similar conclusion as is reached about the crucibles within a couple of books; but the Dune meta-antagonist is much better written at least until the son takes over the writing to wrap up the series, and it is technically more of a very subtle Chekhov's Gun than a deus ex machina, which is why it feels so good as it clicks together (or might have).

Finally, I felt the last books were not as well edited. I think a parallel might be House of Cards where the first season (and perhaps the second) was the frantic work of a fresh team trying something bold and new, and the remaining episodes were the risk-free work of a team with the spotlight of the world on them, unwilling to risk their freshly acquired laurels. Frank and Claire Underwood become another token politician in another token political show with Zeitgeist-dependent in-jokes that will age badly, and the occasional flash of brilliance merely emphasising how much was lost. And perhaps I'm missing the point with House of Cards, perhaps the writers are saying that this is what happens when a narcissist wins the biggest prize and has nowhere else to go, existing only to keep it, but if so it is not said well.
I would guess mostly because of "networking" -- the fancy word for meeting people, chatting up about common interests (which is very likely the case since you're both at the same conference), and maybe making potential business contacts for the future.

Yes.

Of course, you could only apply it to your own server.

Also, you would want to think carefully about clickjacking attacks (where someone puts your site in an invisible iframe and tricks people into clicking on it). The X-Frame-Options header was probably added to prevent clickjacking.

What argument is that? I am also a product of the Enlightenment who has read the Bible and I can tell you that the message is markedly different in the Old vs the New Testament. You just have to read about all the rules outlined in Leviticus to understand that. In the OT, someone who breaks the rules mostly end up facing divine retribution. In the NT, they are supposed to be forgiven and brought back to the herd.

Whoever lives his life according to the "What would Jesus do?" doctrine is likely a nice fellow, although a little extremest perhaps. Whoever lives his life according to the "What would YHWH do?" doctrine is a raging psychopath you'd be advised to stay away from.

It is. But that's not what partiallypro and I were discussing. We argued about whether selling "millions" would crash BTC or not.

«He's totally right»

Did you even read the link I posted? Even if you look at only the BTC/USD pair, $10M represents merely ~1% of the volume sold DAILY on the top 6 exchanges (~$800M). You would probably need to sell an order of magnitude more, so $100M, in a single day, to start affecting the markets significantly.
It sure depends. The way I think is that it starts with an idea, ability to preserve the idea, develop it and maintain its essence through iterations with others. Still it is the idea that is making the difference at the start and working around that idea that makes difference at the end.

I was developer, and I was middle manager and I understand the sentiment fully. There are many aspects of reality that higher level management has to deal with which are not usually what they want reality to be but in practice you can not change it.
