Ofcourse it will hurt some performance but security you can have few sacrifices.

Summary of key points:

• The case against fiat is an ethical case, much more than an effectiveness case. Crytpo advocates often misunderstand this.

* The primary reason fiat succeeds is it offers price stability. But stability is often purchased at the expense of workers and the unemployed.

* The management of fiat provides state actors with incredibly powerful, ultimately discretionary, tools which significantly affect who wins and who loses and how equal or unequal a society is.

The C5 was a Lockheed project.

The CX-HLS was just a design study. (A design study is several years from a prototype airplane.) As 747 Chief Engineer Sutter put it:

"I should add that fostering large high-bypass engines was all that the USAF C-5 competition contributed to the Boeing 747, as my new airplane would be called. Time and again there appears in print the logical but false assumption that Boeing took its losing military C-5 bid and revamped it as the commercial 747. In fact, the 747 would be an entirely original design that owes nothing to the C-5."

My dad[1] worked on I think can't find the right term, but the fixtures that hold satellites while they're carried into space. Back in the late 60's they were using numerical analysis to design the things. But have a gut feeling before 1980-1985 likely wasn't anything that could hold, retrieve and display, edit all the cad drawings for something as complex as a 757.

An ambiguous title, came in expecting this to be about someone quitting his job at Facebook.

Which you absolutely should do if you work there. Facebook has an obligation to its shareholders to maximize its profits, which (possibly) means its strategy of monopolizing everyone's social identity is a valid one (though hopefully it could be mitigated through anti-monopoly laws, see the recent trend in the EU).

But no talented programmer has an obligation to help Facebook fulfill their strategy. If you care about freedom, don't help its opponents.
"Copy/paste" here means "Copy the URL, paste it into the address field of a Web user-agent program, and initiate navigation to that URL in that Web user-agent program".

I suspect the phrasing was used since the discussion is about text-only email and, this being Hacker News, someone might have nit-picked that they view plaintext emails in a mail user agent program which does not scan for strings matching the format of a URL and offer a direct way to click on them or otherwise trigger automated opening of them in a Web user-agent program, and so the person who wrote "copy/paste" had to avoid saying "click on the link".
This has existed for a little while now, but doesn't appear to be available in volumes greater than 'sample' (it is not uncommon for semi-conductor manufacturers to jump the gun a lot on something being actually available).

I haven't tried to order one in a month or two though, so that may have changed.
Well, technically it can be argued that R is itself an implementation (of the language S). It's just that the alternative implementation has become defacto and replaced the original...
True. For that reason, I doubt self-driving cars will be going 200km/h through the city centre.

I can imagine autonomous motorcycles. The hardware doesn't take that much extra space to make it infeasible. Whether anyone would like to use such a vehicle is another matter :).
For anyone interested in understanding what money is, and the downside of commodity money without a central bank, Allyn Young wrote this[1] in 1924[2]. It talks about the gold standard, bi-metalism and decentralized banking that was taking place in the US in the XIXth century.

[1] https://fr.scribd.com/document/251483136/The-Mystery-of-Mone...
[2] it's just 11 years after the creation of the Fed. He had a good understanding of what is a financial system without a central bank.
The author uses a slide to say:

> fiat currencies issued by strong stable states capable of taxing their citizens, with banking systems effective at encouraging widespread borrowing, with large, diversified domestic economies (and so the capacity to do with fewer imports if necessary) that borrow in their own currency, and do not have sizable debts in foreign currency aren't weak.

This speaks to me as if the author has a modicum of trust in the current banking industry, saying: "I trust that we can still solve the problems we've created." Call me a skeptic, but I don't. That is the fundamental problem that cryptocurrencies were created to solve; trustless money.

I agree with the author on the part of currency needing to be stable, and cryptocurrencies in their current state are not stable. However, as more and more value is attributed to cryptocurrencies, and more and more people adopt it, those fluctuations will even out. I feel comparing crypto's stability with most fiat money is like comparing the gait of a toddler with that of a grown man. It takes time, effort, and entropy to gain the momentum needed to be stable, crypto is still in its early-adoption-phase.

> Fiat currencies are no more “created from thin air” than...

In all fairness, this is a reactionary "definition". It's not useful when looking at this behavior as an actual condition and discerning the causal elements.

There's a segment of the population that seems to amplify their own disgust with a celebrity's manners/message/actions/writing/etc, to the point that they see every facet of a personality as caustic. Bibi, Linus, Trump, Mencia, and probably countless others. It's only brought to light when an individual from this population happens to have a media pedestal, so the locus is usually some conservative.

The debate is whether in this case what made the difference (apart the "luck" of landing on a snowy ravine) was that the pilot was unconscious (like in the Magee case), i.e. with all his body completely "relaxed", and this somehow mitigated the impact (in comparison to someone who "prepares " for the hit).
Well, if you need to support arbitrary sorting and filtering with your pagination, you'll be looking at table scans no matter what you do, so limit and offset don't really add much extra cost.

You can arrange for indexes on the most commonly used columns, so that e.g. initial default page load is fast, while leaving the user hanging for up to a second or two on the more unusual queries.

It turns out that when people have better filtering and sorting tools, they spent a lot less time digging for page 10,001.
But (at least in most countries) these records are only available to police and with written request, one by one basis.

Ahh, I see you have a different definition of "play well with each other" than I do. I was thinking of things like having two different C++ compilers generate .o files which can then be linked together. Since the ABI isn't part of the C++ specification, there have been many problems (see https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7492180/c-abi-issues-lis... ) in getting two different C++ compilers to work together. The platform-specific ABIs help, a lot, but don't solve all the problems.

Regarding missing modules, which ones? And don't C compilers have similar issues? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C99#Implementations helpfully points out Clang "Supports all features except C99 floating-point pragmas", and Microsoft's compiler doesn't implement tgmath.h.

I thought also that most Python code runs correctly with no change in CPython and PyPy, where "correctly" includes not using implementation-dependent features like third-party C extensions or garbage collection behavior.

The reality is open source developers tend to maintain multiple projects at the same time, and a small set of them can be monetized with this.

I think monetizing those, targeted to large companies who can easily afford it and would happily pay a few bucks to use the software (they would likely burn more money in a meeting discussing whether to adopt the said software or to switch to a free alternative) is a good trade-off if it allows indie open source developers to pay their bills.

On the long term those developers will generate much more open source output than when working as employees somewhere and creating only proprietary software all day and struggling to create open source only when they have some spare time a couple of hours a month.

In addition, all this licensezero software will be developed in the open, which brings many of the practical benefits of open source to a vast majority of the users, and the open source ecosystem will grow as a side effect that the developers will also create other software distributed under ordinary open source licenses.

Offset 1000 won't hurt you if it's a simple indexed scan; MySQL will mess you over far worse if you use a subquery in your where clause, you can be looking at 1M+ rows scanned via the power of nested loops.

I've invested several months of my life optimizing arbitrary sort and filter for MySQL results over tables varying from 100k rows to 100M (using time windows to scope things). As long as you can efficiently cut down the underlying data set into the region of 100k using some kind of window - usually recency based - and convince MySQL to filter by this before it sorts or does any other kind of filter - then limit / offset pagination doesn't hurt.

You can then use higher-level pagination on the recency window if it becomes necessary.

> That is the fundamental problem that cryptocurrencies were created to solve; trustless money.

What's the actual problem here? "Trustless money" is a philosophical objection.

Cryptocurrency tends to move the trust locus to your software and hardware stack, along with a choice of crypto-to-real-money gateways, none of which seem particularly trustworthy.
Doesn't everyone simply assume all networks are hostile, even your home LAN? This makes DoS very easy but if you're worried about eavesdropping from this you have much bigger problems.

The Boeing 2707 SST had nothing in common with the 747. You'd be hard pressed to find any common parts or design elements. Supersonic airplanes are very, very different from subsonic ones.

Missing context: this is working as intended. Tiangong-1 was China's first space station demonstrator ("target vehicle", in official parlance) and barely larger than the Shenzhou spacecraft used to fly there, itself essentially a modernized copy of the 1960s-vintage Soviet Soyuz craft. It has already been succeeded by Tiangong-2 "space laboratory", which is also at end of life (operational but no further missions planned), and will be succeeded around 2019 by China's first "real" space station, which will be modular and designed for lengthy stays in space.

Also, Excel will read the old BIFF files (XLS), CSVs, SYLK, and whatnot. You are doing, in reverse, exactly that which you oppose: "unless this library can open each and every and any file that Excel can, bug-for-bug compatible, it's Wrong!"

(While it is true that users will toss anything at you, it's quite pointless to expect one library to handle all of it: we used one to sniff the content, another to parse CSVs, yet another to parse XLSX, and in-house code for this obscure abomination which sadly still gets about 10% of use)

Did this 5 years ago and never looked back. The fact that people write about it is probably showing how serious Facebook has become to them. Pretty sad and frivolous if your think about it.

My other social media (Twitter, Instagram) have notifications turned off, and are silently — and non instrusively — waiting for me when I decide to glance at them (usually once every 2-3 days). You end up forgetting about them and only remember when you're bored, it works wonders.

I believe we’ll look back in 10 years and realize that this generation (like most generations that are first to adopt something new) was ridiculously over attached to social media.
TPS is, in part, a way of configuring your supply chain in order to ramp up production smoothly.

Tesla wants to ramp up production as their primary goal right now; if their supply chain is preventing them from doing so then they've funamentally failed.

> I really find it hard to believe they don't understand the TPS.

I agree, but that makes this more confusing and (at least potentially) more damning for Tesla. It's not that hard a concept; if you're running a manufacturing company but you screw up your supply chain badly then...I dunno. Maybe you're bad at running a manufacturing company? Supply chains are really important when you're doing something like making cars. And people having been advocating TPS since before I was even born.

So...it's a conundrum.
Eh? If time frame was the criteria we could Just start wars again. Remove all the people except the victors and chattel.

UBC researchers pull paper linking vaccine component to autism
Hi Everyone,

I know of so many different women that have had issues with predatory men leveraging there positions of power. From inside top tier corporate firms, to universities, from bosses in businesses of all sizes thinking there position of power makes them above normal human decency. Sadly, most women can't do much without sacrificing their career progression.

Having met some of these men and seen how normal they look to the outside world, I really felt cynical about this issue up until last week. The news about Harvey Weinstein's made me realize that there is something we can do about this. My approach to this issue is Whisper.

I want Whisper to be tool for women to understand what workplaces there entering into and to give a deeper understanding of this issue. Hopefully it can be used to hold people and organisations to account. From my own experiences I have seen how organisations sweep these issues under the rug for the sake of their brand.

The thing is people already talk about these issues in the aptly named "Whisper Network" . The New Yorker did a good piece on it the other day - "https://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/the-whisper-network... . Excel documents being passed around to warn women of predators is a tool being used today - Whisper is nothing new in a sense.

The system will operate with a verification system from sexual assault clinics, and similar, which will show the numbers in organisations next to the unverified numbers of reports from anonymous contributors. While Anonymity can bring out the worst people we feel that with this system it will be clear which organisations have a culture problem.

If anyone has any ideas about how to do this I would love to hear them.

If you want to contact me further about the app, email me at info.whispercorporate@gmail.com

Here's to trying to solve this issue - Thanks everyone!
Cool! I think it's great, such an easy to digest, use and productive tool :)

Virgin Atlantic even has a few rows of regular economy in the rear half of the upper deck of (some of?) their 747s (front half is premium economy, business class is downstairs).
In my experience, if you're working with moderately large data sets and want to provide interesting UI with rich filtering operations, you'll want a lot more control over execution plans than straightforward declarative SQL gives you. You end up forcing the database's hand by nesting subtable queries; and since ORM tools don't generate queries in this style, you write your own SQL generation library.
The update fixes a few bugs, namely one that caused a loss of touch functionality on a small subset of phones that had been repaired with certain third-party screens and had been updated to iOS 11.

I'm honestly a little amazed at all the thought put in to quitting Facebook. It seems like such a big deal for people. I think it's very sad that we've gotten to this point.

It's just a Web site.
Consider a user who just keeps clicking "mark as junk" until he stops seeing Mozilla mails, instead of unsubscribing. Or an overzealous system that marked a Mozilla mail as junk once, and nobody complained, so it keeps doing it. The user's account still exists and mail can still be delivered so there's no bounce response, but each mail Mozilla sends will be treated as evidence that Mozilla is spamming.
> In my case with 100 000 000 records, the query is never finished. The DBMS just kills it. Why? Probably, because it led to the attempt to load the whole table into RAM.

What? Why? It should just instantiate a cursor and return the first batch size worth of records.

I’m not sure why the dB pulls load the entire result set into ram to return results unless it requires a sort on a non indexed field.
That's not what I said. The company was being heavily subsidised, and money is fungible.
