Just to note, financial transactions from bank account to bank account are slow and expensive compared to other methods. Even with BTC -> BTC transactions, there are much faster options, and if you claim they are cheap, you must take into account that there is an implicit cost of holding an volatile asset (even if lately that volatility has been beneficial for the asset holder).
It's not a t-shirt business, it's a marketplace where designers sell their designs and the designs are placed on t-shirts, mugs, carpets, stickers, etc. So basically these sites are like eBay but for artists. Like any marketplace business, it takes a long time to build up both sides of the marketplace but once it's in place, it's very hard to compete with.

Frankly I think she was in the wrong in this occasion. She offered an idea which has a number of obvious flaws then gets confrontational when people offer counterarguments (ok the terseness tweets don't help but that's a platform problem due to its limited character count).

However I say the above without knowing any past history of abuse she might have had on Twitter.

First of all, cool project. Looks very nice. And kudos to nba.com for making their data so easily accessible via JSON (and perhaps other methods, didn't look too closely).

Personally, I have little interest in sports in general. And I find that the interest ratio is much lower with those interested in technical fields than others. However, obviously proven by this project and life experience, there are definitely those who are very interested in both sports and STEM-like disciplines. So I wonder: what makes one become attracted to sports or conversely what has caused certain groups of people to be apathetic? Why is most of the geek population uninterested? And lastly, what causes certain people to seemingly be an exception with equally strong interest in both areas?

I assume my life experience is congruent with the hacker news community, but I'm also keen to know if my observations don't mirror others!
But `method_missing` isn't magical, is it? It's entirely logical, well specified, and obviously derived from its Smalltalk message-passing history.

'Missing' brackets are merely a syntactic choice, though I will grant you that variable case is quite weird (though in that sense, I suppose Go is magical too :))
I don't think it will require formal verification per se.

Rather, formal verification is just one piece in the puzzle. The software responsible for contracts in Ethereum needs to be equally well and thoroughly developed as if it was sending people to the Moon in the 60s or to Mars in the current Decade.

It'll probably take blood, sweat, money and mistakes just like in many other disciplines but we'll get there.
Government Allowed a Pizza Cook to Enter the U.S. On an H-1B Visa
Ecuador is about 66th percentile by economy size, with a GDP of about $100bil.

So Ecuador is producing $100bil in value, which is similar to the total volume of transactions on the Bitcoin network.

So using less energy, Ecuador produces more economic value than Bitcoin can even move.

That sounds like Bitcoin is wildly inefficient, in that it can't transmit stored value for less than that value costs to generate in power:

It would be more efficient to use the power to create more wealth than transmit it with Bitcoin!
Yes, I use it in just that way. I recommend installing awslogs[0] on your workstation. Then, to tail a log group, you'd run

I think I'm different in my preferences from most people, but I don't want to know the score for anything I haven't watched yet.

Are you serious? No one wants to know the score. It ruins the whole point of watching a sporting event.

I have Sling TV to watch my NBA team games this year. About 1/2 the time I hit "watch" (with the "dvr" option) while the game is still going it jumps live, rather than ask me if I want to start from the beginning. So, I have to hit "watch" then back, then watch again, where it asks me. Seriously, WTF Sling?
Your accepting coins on one fork or the other won't have any bearing what so ever one which chain has the most cumulative PoW.

The only way you can influence which chain is the longest, without mining, is to pick a preferred chains and sell your coins on the other chain. That is your 'economic vote'.

If enough people do that, one chain will be way more profitable than the other and miners will switch over.

Even though it'd work, kinesis would probably not fit this use case very well (sporadic/low volume logging), since you have to pay every hour, whether you're using it (or barely using it) or not.

Firehose would work, though... no per-hour charges.
Seems like a reasonable article. But that Makefile is a disaster:

1. The clean rule doesn't delete the generated .html file.

2. The clean rule returns an error if some of the output files are missing. It needs a -f adding.

3. It doesn't implement dependency tracking of the header files or the Makefile itself.

4. On my clean Ubuntu 16 LTS install, the .o:.c rule doesn't get called. Instead Make uses its built-in rule which doesn't include -fPIC, so the build fails. I guess it is missing some % symbols.

More controversially, I think Makefiles for simple purposes like this are a form of premature optimization. It would be simpler to create a bash script called build.sh containing:

CFLAGS="-Wall -Werror -fpic"
gcc $CFLAGS -shared Point.c Line.c -o libline.so
gcc $CFLAGS -shared Point.c -o libpoint.so
./testPoint.py
./testWrappedPoint.py
./testLine.py

That's much easier to understand, doesn't depend on Make being installed, rebuilds when a header is changed and doesn't generate .o file litter. The price is that it takes 0.1 seconds longer to run in the case where there's no building to be done and there's no "clean". I think it is a net win.

So you do learn two extra languages in high school?

> The issue occurs with taking averages. The United States is a rich country or a developing country depending on where you look. Few other modern industrialized nations are run this way.

That's because it's nothing to be proud of. Your country will be judged by how you treat the lowest, worst-off people. Having a couple of "rich" parts[0] doesn't make it look better.

Indeed there is no sense taking averages for these issues. Some people think they're doing better with the median, but that still hides the poor long tail. If (for purposes of central planning etc) you really do need a single number and the minimum isn't useful because it's zero, there is one statistic and it's called modal income.

That depends upon what they conspire to do, surely?

As far as I can see there are three attacks:

* Creation of fictional people

* Conspiracy to "unperson" a real person

* Identity theft

There are many defenses that could be put in place against all of these using a web of trust system.

The PGP version is a little rudimentary to protect against them, but it's still a good foundation.

Presumably this is it. I find typing on numpad is much faster and simpler, but 1) laptops typically don't have one and 2) on normal keyboards it takes my hands away from the main keyboard. Then I switched to a Kinesis Advantage2 and now the numpad is integrated into the main keyboard, using a foot pedal to toggle between main keys and integrated keys.

Good discussion, and it is certainly very nuanced.

The trouble of the developer having to create this list themselves is the reason I made http://devdata.io - so you could at least have an easy starting point for all this data that is basically just copy/paste.

3 hours of sync per week is not as bad as you might think. A week has 168 hours, which means you'll spend a minute per hour syncing on average.

Additionally, Ethereum, unlike Bitcoin, does not want everyone to run a full node, you can certainly run Archival nodes, but most people should be using light clients or nodes which do not store the full history of the chain (only recent history)
I think personal assistant AI's are still very much in their alpha state. It will get better as time passes. Google and Amazon have been aggressively investing in Research into AI (Google probably more so through Google Research, but Amazon has ramped up recently).

Apple has recently been hiring aggressively as well; and I'm more optimistic about Apple than the article, simply because Apple has amazing amount of hardware experience. I hope that they leverage that to make better AI-enabled devices... the future is going to be VERY interesting.
Yeah, but now you can buy an SGI onyx or some other model of cray and turn them into a super-computing-kegerator

I'm not really sure how it works under the hood, not being terribly familiar with how these login systems work, but you can basically (in your browser) click "add an account" and it will open a new tab and you can sign into the account.

Are you counting shared memory multiple times? Try hitting shift-esc in Chrome and checking the memory usage there. My heaviest tab (Gmail) is only around 250M.

Edit: I mean most computers don't even have 30 GB of RAM, but if you do there's an easy way to check. Open a bunch of tabs and note your system's total RAM usage. Then close Chrome and see how much gets freed up. If it's 30GB then you have a problem :)

yes, you should be upset at those things. that's exactly what i'm talking about. don't just accept unethical behavior as fait acccompli. say something about it. let your voice be heard, by the people involved, as well as the people around you. particularly when it involves institutions like corporations and governments that people like to hide behind.

> Edit: Here's another good one I just ran into -- I can't sign out of just one Gmail account. I have to sign out of all my Gmail accounts, and sign back into the ones I didn't intend to sign out of.

This seems like it is a shitty behavior inherent with OAuth. I have half a dozen Microsoft accounts for various things, and you just can't sign out of one and sign into another, unlinked account - things go all sideways and the auth providers that are trying to read your cookies get really confused and go into 401 redirect loops. It's better to burn it down and open a new set of incognito tabs instead.
You might be horrifically surprised.
Yeah, but it inconveniences me
I think it's foolish of Mr Tanenbaum to expect how Intel used Minix in their super-secret project. I mean, it's super-secret. Telling him "Congratulation, Minix is now the most widely used OS in every x86 pc, but we cannot tell you why and how" would have blown pretty much everything. Any average person would have done 2+2 and would have understood what was going on.

Beside this... I think it is important that this would not have happened if Minix was licensed under the GPL. Not this way, at least. Intel would have had to find another OS (possibly paying for it) or develop one ex-novo (again, paying for it). So it would have happened anyway, but at least it would have been much more expensive for Intel.

Looks like that's not possible.
C++ has this kind of equality for STL containers. Create nested maps, vectors, lists, sets, strings, etc, and you can just compare them with "==". It will do a deep compare.
I never called him evil. I doubt he is, but I don't know him personally.

What he did, though, is he supported something specifically aimed at curtailing someone else's freedoms for no good reason. It's weird that people on Hacker News seem so okay with this, given how angry people seem to get about the abrogation of freedoms in the world of tech and business.

Imagine Eich supported a law that specifically barred you from marrying the person you loved. And by "supported" I mean "financially supported to the tune of $1000." Would you be so easy-going about it?

Should gay people be so easy-going about someone who wishes to rob them of freedoms the rest of us enjoy?

I don't think they should be.

Assuming, the user wants to have a daemon running full time. They just downloaded your thing and you're imposing your rules? Deleted.

> Additionally, Ethereum, unlike Bitcoin, does not want everyone to run a full node

To me a full node is the one that verified every single block since the install point. (Not from genesis, a snapshot is fine). I'm strongly against archiving the blocks for normal users, only the state should be stored.
I honestly don’t think the writer was trying to ‘invite this discussion’, she made an offhand comment about her experience. I think people are seizing this as an opportunity to talk about their pet peeve.

The comment doesn’t add to the discussion about whether a country field would be useful or how it could be implemented at all.

But anyway did you read the twitter thread? The writer proposed standardizing a common function so everyone wouldn’t have to roll their own.

A number of guys responded with ‘here’s how to roll your own’ as if she wasn’t intelligent enough to do that herself (and completely missing the point of the tweet).

Do you have a better word for that behavior?

It wasn’t an offhand quip like your gun control example, it directly related to the tweet she was talking about.

And yes, I would think most people could read an article without freaking out that the two words ‘gun control’ were in there if they were off topic.

It seems sad to me that seeing one word in an article is enough to derail the entire conversation because some people don’t like it. It’s not like it was a call to violence or something like that.
In the case of The Netherlands, this is plain wrong.

The Kingdom of the Netherlands contains four countries, being The Netherlands, Aruba, Curaçao, and Sint Maarten. According to ISO 3166-2, there exists a country "The Netherlands" which contains the other three. Close, but not correct.
Respect!!! This is dope and creative. Thanks for making this.
I think a lot of the perceived slowness is now the fact that so much more is reliant on the network now - and more often than not requires several hops over the public internet to some data centre somewhere.

>Several polls were done and it was made clear that segwit2x had no support from the community.

That has to be the most laughable part of the article. "Hey guys, I posted this poll on a pro-core forum and what do you know, not a single person supported S2X...". It's like the polls posted in /r/btc about Bitcoin Cash - everyone in the bitcoin world lives in their own bubble and use those around them to validate their opinions.
