The nowadays industry largely advocates for producing software that can be sold, rather than finished software.

With unfinished software I refer to functional prototypes, or software that only implement functional requirements (features) rather than non-functional requirements (security, performance, scalability, configuration, stability, etc).

In my opinion, selling unfinished software is a form of fraud and I expect that in the future it will become illegal.
My co-workers (SWE) used to work at Amazon and their wages were fairly competitive (ie, market rate). I'm not too sure about non-technical, warehouse jobs, but I would expect those jobs to be much lower. How much do you think they should get paid?
This is decompiled code, not the original source, so much/most/all of the craziness probably comes from that.
Important to note is that this code is not the source code, but rather was generated by dotPeek, a C# decompiler, as mentioned in the repo's README: https://github.com/csnxs/Terraria/
I think upx is more useful for static binaries like that of Haskell applications which is kinda huge. (GHC produces huge binaries - eg. pandoc or ghc-mod). A 100 something mb binary is not what you usually have. UPX can work its magic stuff like that. More manageable not necessarily essential but when you need it you need it badly.

Having a whole network of companies know what you watch, when, the rating (if they have ratings), etc, is fairly intrusive in my view, but we all have our own threshold.

When you give up control of your data, act accordingly. Given the scope of the disclosure, it is probably best to assume that any data you give this service will eventually be stolen (perhaps made public), resold (if possible, if not, watch for retroactive assignment of rights), requested by law, etc.. Basically, there's a not-insignificant probability that at some point, anyone who is interested will be able to see your activity or some portion of it.
What you're describing doesn't really parse to me. A laptop, an audio interface, and a few pretty-cheap dynamic mics are my usual setup in the first place, and audio quality, even in relatively hostile rooms, is pretty okay. Outdoors recording has never presented much of a problem (but that's what shotguns are for anyway, yeah?), either. Maybe you're dealing with more specialized stuff than I run into, but something like single-direction noise seems kinda corner-casey to me?

yes, yes, a thousand times yes.

We implemented our services like this a few years back. It worked really nice. But in everything that I have read I have never seen any references to this practice. I didn't even know it was called "monorepo". I was just assuming everybody was using multiple repos and we were weird.
I'm no expert, but I can think of a few potential approaches off the top of my head:

1) Force neighboring jurisdictions to take control of blighted areas, increasing the effective tax base, as advocated by TFA. There are NIMBY and fiscal reasons why this is hard, so counties and states might need to step in.

2) Offer free housing swaps to residents of dying suburbs, increasing density in a few targeted areas. This would reduce the cost of delivering services substantially -- fewer customers in a smaller target area -- while slowing the spread of blight.

3) Use state or federal funds to buy back foreclosed and abandoned properties in blighted areas, then employ out-of-work locals to help with remediation. A combination of this and #2 would even make full ecological restoration a possibility, converting large blighted areas into public parks and other amenities. This would have a long-term positive impact on property values and could even reverse the cycle of abandonment.

Hell, even straight-up paying people a year's rent just to move out, then leveling the abandoned homes, would be cheaper than the long-term costs of ignoring the problem altogether.
Surely an industry that prides itself on thinking different can figure out new and innovative solutions to seemingly impossible problems.
I'd have to guess that someone cancelled the analytics at the business level, but never bothered to write up a change request to tell the devs to take it out.
My first impression was that it's basically cast iron pipe designs, implemented with your custom components. Not a bad idea, especially as the pieces are more streamlined (slip in elbows) but doesn't really hit me as a real "system".

On your "about us" or product page you should do a small write-up about that actual materials and components. Basically, how is this different or better than cast iron pipe or Klee clamps?

I'd really like to know if your system can support significant weight because most of the designs (except for the garment rack) are small structures that you would expect to hold only 10-20 lbs. I would guess from the weight and dimensions of the garment rack you are using 1-1/4 OD x .065 wall aluminum round tube.

It has great game mechanics, but in all other manners of design it feels like a hodgepodge of unrelated assets thrown together. Quake 1 had a similar problem early in development, but they managed to tie it together. Quake 3 didn't even bother with a true singleplayer campaign, which seems like a winning move in hindsight, but at the time it was a departure from the norm and I can't help but feel like it was a move they did out of necessity.

That is unfortunate. Whale hunting is illegal now in many countries, but the Japanese do like whale meat and continue to find ways to hunt them. I saw an interesting documentary maybe 4 years ago about how some hunting ships would find whales under the guise of science research, but really harvest them for food. Some countries stopped honoring the scientific licenses of the Japanese ships that allowed them to enter their waters. I'm not sure how much the affinity for whale meat has to do with tourism, though.
Honestly the entire seafood industry is a disaster. Nearly 80% of the ocean biomass has been destroyed. It's the only part of the food system that still relies on hunting wild populations of animals and between the many countries involved, it's really hard to regulate how much is really being taken. It's very depressing how many species are on the brink because of this.

Correct. This was recognized a long time ago, starting in the late 1700's and gaining popularity in the 1800's, but it's never had much mindshare in the US, unfortunately. The solution is proportional representation [1], something much more common in Europe. Taken to its most extreme, it treats the entire country as a single district -- Israel is an example.

It's probably most useful to compare Bitcoin to gold (apparently the Biggest Bubble in Stock Market History: http://gainspainscapital.com/2017/08/08/officially-biggest-b...).

Let's take a random sample of reasons why gold is a store of value: https://www.quora.com/How-did-gold-become-the-historical-sta...

Pretty much every of those attributes can be created in most cryptocurrecies (or made obsolete), with arguably these exceptions:

- Universal (as of now) - Bitcoin is indeed universally recognisable and tradable, compared to other cryptos.

- Stable - very unknown, but so far the long age of Bitcoin made it a bit more stable than most other well-known alternatives. Though that could be challenged if an inherently stable cryptocurrency mechanism is invented.

Perhaps universality will be always there and will be enough. But overall that makes me bend in the direction that inherently there is nothing special about Bitcoin in the long term, while other cryptocurrencies are researching and reinventing very foundations of value, trust and finance in general.

Imagine if there will be no reason for any currency to be a store of value in the future. Why choose that, versus some kind of automatically diversified crypto-index or other portfolio, that is for example bound assets related your interests and beliefs as a person.

Just take a micro-sized chunk of it each time you make a payment.
The resolution you would have to use to do this without excessive head movement would probably be more appropriate for mobile UI than desktop UI. I don't think the current gen headsets can provide a satisfactory Excel experience for example. Also, the relatively small 'sweet spot' that current gen headsets provide make extended reading uncomfortable since it requires head movement for what would usually be accomplished by eye movement.

Well in this case it's not a big problem, as stated in the article Symantec didn't do much business in Russia.

However lets extrapolate and say what if the same thing were applied to Apple or Microsoft, who sell a very large amount of software to countries like China.

Would their shareholders be happy if they did? China is a large market, loss of access to that would be bad for a companies finacial health.

> I'm not sure how this problem was solved in rocketry is necessarily indicative of how hard it is to solve in other circumstances

Very fair. The advantage a rocket has is you choose when it's rolled out. You don't have to design for the worst weather because you can always hide.

You can't do that for a static structure. The Hyperloop is an attempt to marry the challenges of rocketry to the standards of civil engineering. The advantage is you don't have to think about aerodynamics, which is good, because air is the worst. (You also get civil-engineering budgets.) The bad is you can't hide from the edge cases.

If you want to grapple with this problem live, rent (or borrow) a thermal camera and make a model. Aluminum or tin foil would probably work for something on the window. I've only done this upright, to simulate storing an unfuelled vehicle outdoors in "ready-to-launch" mode, but you'll run into similar problems with a horizonatal configuration. At first, the shade works. Then thermals develop. You can foam it, and that looks like it works for a few days. Then someone instruments the inside and, lo and behold, hot spots. Turns out foam doesn't really help with heat that recurs in the same place, day after day. (Our solution: slowly rotate it.) You could completely isolate the tube, which is what NASA does in its vehicle assembly building [1], but at that point you might as well (a) bury it or (b) have a fleet of Concordes flying on loop, because either will be cheaper.

I'm not saying it's impossible. But it's much harder than the pressure problem, which is itself hard to get economical. If you want the tube above ground, I don't think it works with existing materials. My criticism of the Hyperloop One project is they didn't bother solving these issues with models. (Note: this is how Elon did it with the Falcon 1.) Instead, they decided to build a maglev track.

Before you go patting Google on the back, consider this. They stole money from engineers by colluding with the other big players to keep engineering salaries artificially low and now want to use some of that money to train more workers to create more supply which lowers salaries even further.
> Yes, the good times for software engineering will come to an end. I'm a software engineer, this will affect me. But the question is, do I have a natural god given right to have a ballooning salary every year, while fighting attempts to increase labor supply that might cut that growth rate?

Does our owner class have a natural god-given right to a 6% return on their investment every year, for doing nothing?

They are certainly spending their energy on fighting attempts to spread the economic pie around. We need solidarity, not shaming people for protecting their means to make a living.

Last time the Casper fork was discussed on HN I read through a very long and very dense document only to find out that Vitalik, or someone similar, had a key that decided which blocks were genuine, in case of dispute.

Sounds like the no true Scotsman fallacy.

For instance my understanding of clinical depression is people often have suicidal ideation. I had that, would imagine throwing myself out a window, down the side of a mountain, etc. But I never would follow through because I noticed how my depression filtered my view of the world, and once the feeling passed things did not seem so bad. It would be horrible to make such a final decision as suicide, since it guaranteed my life would not improve, even though my depression told me it never would. Plus, believing I could go to hell for suicide helped keep me from doing it, and concern for how it would affect those I love. Finally, it seemed like such a selfish decision.

I believe he is referencing the fact that "whale falls" (the ecosystem that subsists for decades on the corpse of a whale that died and sank in deep water) move the mass of the whale to the deep ocean, where it typically doesn't surface except on geologic time.

The obvious counter is that even at pre-human population levels the whales are an insignificant fraction of the shallow ocean biomass, and that artificial algea blooms over deep water could easily replace this carbon transfer in a sustainable way.

Perhaps more interesting is that the lack of whale falls has probably already driven to extinction many of the deep water species that prey on the drop sites. Those that are left are at risk. And at least until we can catalog the genetic diversity of these ecosystems, that could be a tremendous loss. There may be biological processes adapted there that are useful to us, in bio-engineering or medicine.
Decompiling .NET or Java binaries usually yields code very close if not identical to the original source code, at least unless an obfuscator was used but that seems not to be the case here. Chances are very good the original source code looks almost exactly like that code, maybe with some additional comments.
> An ANSYS multiphysics simulation (the software SpaceX uses) would show the problem, no?

Yes. But SpaceX != Hyperloop One.

> SpaceX has already built and used a mile-long, 11' diameter vacuum tube in Southern California, which would seem to put this matter to rest (the proof is in the pudding, after all)

I'll go ahead and predict that the strength of that tube will have materially decreased after 1 year in the elements. I'll even posit that will occur independent of rusting, which appears to have unfortunately taken place, due to the formation of microfractures within the metal due to repeated lateral thermal flexing. That said, this was a demo track. It wasn't designed to withstand one standard atmosphere while whizzing fast, heavy capsules inside it for years on end.
I'm not following; why can't you decompress it? Of course you cant decompress it into memory, but if it's trying to that then there's a problem in the code (problem identified).
