Powerapps look amazing to be honest. I actually would like to use that and the BI integration, but unfortunately I don't have enough reason to spend money on it. The small organising that I do need ends up in Airtable instead, but that's not even close. (I miss proper graphing features)
It seems even Twitch is dipping its toes in that water at the moment. They've been displaying a message at the top of the chat telling people that they can get a random temporary emote for every 250 bit "cheer" (about $3.50) - collect all six to get a permanent emote.

Small correction: the amdgpu driver has been integrated and working in the upstream Linux kernel for many years now.

The one chink recently was the new display code, which was a requirement for Vega (but not for earlier generations), and which was a genuine open sourcing of an existing, Windows-focused code base. That process took longer than one might hope for, but we're clearly over the hump now with it going upstream.

> But Vega also have much higher market volume due to Crypto mining.

Does it?

I'm genuinely interested in this as Vega appears to have high power usage requirements and less than spectacular mining results. I mean they're fine, but not the multiple of current cards that was rumoured before release. I owned a Vega 64 briefly, but sold it on as I didn't really want the noise or heat. And it still doesn't look like any real partner cards have been released, the lineup is all reference cards.

Have you seen any sales figures that would show the mining popularity of vega?

Cost disease primarily applies to markets where much of the product is labor. Construction has been slow to automate, but there has been considerable progress especially recently.

It is unlikely that you could install Windows on anything but NTFS. That doesn't mean you can't put your home directory on some other filesystem.

Still, there is a fair amount of fragmentation in the ZFS world. It's possible that it will work fine (provided you got all the feature flags to match), but I am very skeptical that being able to mount in both will happen any time soon.

The Library of Mistakes
However, as posters in other thread said, the number and availability of libraries makes functionality of those small programs exceed that of much larger ones written in C or a similar language.

If you have to write a large project from scratch in Python it will be slow, but Python has gone pretty far in the direction where for many large tasks 90% of the functionality will be obtainable through standard libraries. Doing the remaining 10% in basic Python often keeps it competitive at runtime with compiled languages but produce much simpler, shorter and easier to maintain code.
Siftery has repeatedly engaged in Twitter spam. Here’s one example account, @SifteryHello that exists solely to mention other companies and individuals: https://twitter.com/SifteryHello

Check out the tweet history to see what I mean. They sent thousands of tweets from this account (and very possibly others), solely to get visibility for Siftery from the customers/others who search for the company's Twitter handle.

They take the same approach to other mediums. Regarding mholt’s comment, here’s another one: https://twitter.com/guusdk/status/909773952561696769

I can’t imagine ever trusting a company or person/team who does this.

Update: Here's another medium that Siftery spams, albeit at a lower volume - HN itself: https://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=ggiaco. ggiaco, an employee, submitted ~100 low-value Siftery pages about companies (rather than, say, the companies themselves, or sites he actually liked).

Update 2: Here's a second Twitter account, @SifteryFeed, which does the same thing as @SifteryHello: https://twitter.com/sifteryfeed. Example tweet:

Yes and no. If your company is worth a few million dollars, can get high enough insurance, can get FIPS certified, and can jump through enough hoops, then yes - you can get an intermediate certificate. That product is not even openly advertised by most CAs. If you're just a "normal company", no, you won't get one.

https://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?depth=1&...

The big problem here is that the intermediate CA isn't really limited on what they can grant. You can issue a valid "google.com" cert just as well as "foo.yourcompany.com". The are x509 extensions for limiting the scope in this case, but I don't believe they're widely used or validated at the moment.
For the last part about economic optimization, I would not approach it with Dynamic Programming.

I lost faith in YC and won't apply again.

It's easy to fund companies that have traction and make money, but hard when they have neither. If YC had some ability to predict companies that do well when they have only an idea and no code, I no longer see evidence of it.

I get the appeal from company's perspective, but there's only so many "movements" a customer can handle. I don't want every tool I use to disrupt my thinking - imagine how tiring that would be. Unfortunately this approach is currently so in fashion that a simple landing page which just states it's proposition in a clear way seems refreshing.

Also, it seems incredibly desperate and fake when a company tries to forcefully come up with unique culture when there is none to begin with. Some companies are naturally more interesting than others and that's okay. Not everyone can be basecamp and not everyone needs to :)
Working in digital forensics, I read your comment and immediately thought of Volatility and Rekall, the most important memory forensics frameworks.

Both written in Python. Please, tell me how they are failing.

BitTorrent isn't "not practical". It is however less practical than IPFS.

With IPFS, you can effortlessly link from one tree to another, already existing tree.

In BitTorrent, you have to include a .torrent file, or an infohash in some file, but no software that I know of will easily follow that link.

This linking ability is an extremely useful property, that allows you to cheaply create a copy of a merkle tree, with a subset of the data replaced. The tree will operate identically to one created from scratch.

You also don't need to hold all the data to "patch" the tree, which I imagine is useful in this Hadoop filesystem.

Unfortunately there is no real API for operating on torrents. You could say WebTorrent is pushing in the right direction to fix this, but there doesn't seem to be much adoption for it.

There's really no way to design a maintenance-free house. A typical house has a lot of parts slowly failing all the time, meaning you will eventually need expensive repairs on various timelines (sometimes many years, so it can be "ignored" for a while at your peril). Roofing, HVAC systems, sheetrock damage, repainting, replacing aging flooring/carpeting, replacing failing major appliances, etc.

You'd have to design and build a custom home way outside of the designs considered normal for the market to make it significantly more (but not completely!) maintenance-free in the long run, at a significant increase in construction cost. But then you've subjected yourself to another hidden downside: the more strange/custom/expensive a home is, the less liquid that home will be on the market if you decide to sell later. A home that's awesome to you but not-awesome to 95% of the market doesn't move. And if you're stuck with it and it's a significant chunk of your wealth, then you can't move cities for that new job or whatever.
Ah, thanks. I was thinking of doing the same with D6es. Good to know that you don't need the cards or anything else, I'll buy the book and read it. The online idea is also pretty interesting, thanks for the recommendation!

Wow.

Of the 26 items in the Milestone section, three (near the bottom) are currently not done. All the rest are. (The last one should read "swim". And I hope that last one definitely happens!)

The first substantial commit (https://github.com/lundman/ZFSin/commit/6ea8093d48da0a0abc3b...) includes a large pile of code. It's clear this was (wisely) built out privately to begin with. I wonder how long it took to get to the above commit point.

Concentration of wealth is insufficient to explain it:

- there is no lack of cheap housing, however it's outside of main cities

- Concentration of wealth was worse in many moments in history, but that didn't imply in unaffordable real estate (at today's levels)

- Most government regulation works to restrict the supply of housing rather than expand it, even the ones that "theoretically" help with affordability (like rent controls - which I'm not against in some cases).

Ask HN: Can someone please explain Kik's Kin valuation change since ICO?
This is a rather major event, in that $100M dollars were raised by a 'recognized brand'.

A) How has the valuation of the tokens changed since launch, I'm struggling to read the charts, because they are measured in ETH, not 'dollars' and am weary to make conclusions.

B) Since only 10% of Kins were floated, and Kik 'owns' the rest - they will start introducing / diluting the market with their Kins over time - does this imply ultimately a 90% dilution over time?

It's nary impossible to get objective information about this. Thanks in advance.

That would typically be implemented by a proxy or service like Cloudflare. The server itself should not do this based on header contents - instead the application should use the push protocol directly: https://nodejs.org/api/http2.html#http2_http2stream_pushstre...

It wouldn't be appropriate for the http2 core module to do this implicitly, but I wouldn't be surprised if higher level server abstractions, such as Express, did implement such a feature (though imo it'd still be better to not use the Link header).

It's also likely to work a lot better for a caching proxy to perform this action rather than the source server - since it can cache the contents of the resources being pushed.

Writing extensions in c/c++ largely negates all stated benefits of using Python in the first place, and I'm proficient in all three languages. Further, mypy is hopeful, but it's not quite there yet (lots of holes and bugs--notably no support for recursive types). Lastly multiprocessing for parallelism is a poor man's solution, and far from what I've become accustomed to in Go, Rust, etc. Python is a nice language and it pays my bills, but Go beats it at many of its own purported strengths, in my opinion.
