Section "Money creation in reality" [1]. States that 97% of money in circulation are from bank deposits, the majority of which are themselves created by commercial banks (though it doesn't explicitly state that the rest comes from governments).

If it was actually the consumers who were averse to the risk then we could get rid of the law and nothing would change.

The problem is the law is inefficient because the consumer is the lowest cost avoider. They can do things like using a good pass phrase and not reusing passwords and not holding large sums of money in uninsured accounts for unnecessarily long periods of time.

Payment processors can't stop customers with no skin in the game from making poor decisions, so they have to sum up the cost of the resulting fraud and make everyone pay it as transaction fees, and then we can't have micro-payments.
A PhD lasts five years in the us.

I would argue: what's the tangible difference between someone who has gone through all five years and someone who has gone through "just" four of them?

Plus, i don't think applied research is less important than base research.

Not an Angular user so I don't know how well (or if) this is currently fully working, or is still in development, but: https://github.com/angular/angular/issues/7482 and the demo gif here: https://github.com/microsoft/typescript/issues/6508 display all those features.
I recommend reading the Pulsar architecture page: https://pulsar.apache.org/docs/latest/getting-started/Concep...

Biggest difference is that Pulsar splits compute from storage. Pulsar brokers are stateless services that manage topics and handle clients (publishers and consumers) while reading/writing data from a lower tier of bookies, which is the Apache BookKeeper project for low-latency real-time storage workloads.

Better performance and easier scaling compared to Kafka's partition rebalancing. It also natively supports data center replication and multiple clusters working together globally. Pulsar addressing is property/cluster/namespace/topic so multi-tenant isolation is built-in.

Anywhere you use Kafka can use Pulsar and also consolidate pub/sub only systems that need lower latency than Kafka.
Sounds very challenging and interesting, will apply. Thanks!

Etsy | Full Stack Software Engineer | Brooklyn, REMOTE

You'll be helping us build delightful products and experiences for people buying and selling with Etsy. In the Full-Stack Engineering role you will be contributing at all levels of our application stack, ranging from back-end technologies (PHP, MySQL, Memcache) to front-end web interfaces (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) and native apps (iOS and Android).
The teams working on each feature are pretty small (a few engineers, a designer, and a product manager), so there's a lot of meaningful collaboration.

This makes sense, actually. Dead people tend to be older, and have less stake in newer bandwidth-intensive applications.
You make a/the compelling counter-argument.

I still think there is a market driver (China TAM) that motivates the behavior as much as anything here. I guess we'll see if the slope is slippery or not.
This replayability is discussed in Designing Data Intensive Applications (DDIA), a book by Martin Kleppmann. Essentially you can use the Change Data Capture (CDC) information in your primary Postgres database, and pipe it through Kafka and replay it on any other data store.[0] This is also the basis of traditional database replication technology, where the change logs are replayed on other databases.

Is this architecture common? Well, I suspect it is overkill for most smaller organizations due to increased infrastructure complexity. I wouldn't do this just for the sake of doing it -- you may find yourself saddled with an increased maintenance workload just keeping the infrastructure running.

But if you truly have this use case, this is a well-known method for syncing data across various types of datastores (ie. so-called polyglot persistence).

Imagine if you had to buy a whole album every time you wanted to hear a song.
Clojure has type hints, I can add ^int to a symbol and get some “static typing”. That is: shitty static typing. However, this is about the same as the average Any type in a static language. In order to implement a good Dynamic type, you’d need to implement reflection, caching dynamic dispatch, etc. Haskell’s Typeable is an OK implementation, but not nearly as good as say the JVM’s or JavaScript, despite their many flaws.
All I want for Angular are better error message and better browser-refresh times. Right now on 4 I get a meaningless page of gobbledeguck for most error (b/c of transpilation) and 12 seconds to reload the page.

That's a different question. What value does HN provide if a story is behind a paywall? You end up with a bunch of discussion mostly by people that haven't read the story. In that case HN is nothing more than a forum for random discussion. If that's considered okay, HN won't be around for long...
Would you use this instead of Flask? Why/why not?

Rereading it, I can now see your view, thanks. I don't know enough about the legal definitions of "harass" and "abuse", but I suspect it comes down to your personal level of confidence of whether government abuses this narrow bit in the first place, and secondly whether the entire public would just let this quietly slip by in the public courts without demanding some sort of self-correction action (judicial, legislative, or executive). I am not a gambling man, but I think my position on both of these chances are both reasonable and the most probable, with high confidence. (Edit to add: a sibling in this tree says it better, to paraphrase: "laws can be challenged and reinterpreted, it is a mistake to assume they do not")

In case it isn't obvious, I'm not a lawyer. No one should accept my analysis, because I'm a stranger on the internet, or a Turing-Test-succeeding imitation of one. Likewise, I'm not going to accept OP's analysis for the same reasons. But I will participate in a discussion that allows readers to explore alternate ideas and viewpoints, chasing an overly-idealistic goal of inspiring each of us into self-driven personal growth. Because that's a virtue worth striving for no matter which side of the argument you are on.
> you're implying that .../... their lack of work can't be due to ageism.

I think ageism is a two-way street. Some people won't hire anybody over 30/40/x years old. Some people don't want to learn news ways, new technology hoping to keep doing the same thing they always did, until retirement.

What is traditional sysadmin? Once upon a time we used to re-compile kernel after changing parameters... and monitor handful of machines. There's value to own your hardware for companies that are large enough, but methodologies have changed.

What is the point of 2 node cluster?
Kafka does give you a counter, it's in Neha's blog post. Kafka's idempotent producer registers itself with the brokers with a unique producer id and includes a sequence number with each message it sends. The brokers simply keep track of producer id + the highest sequence number they've seen, and return an ack, if the ack is lost the producer retries and the broker knows to deduplicate the message, and send the ack. In the event counter example this would ensure that each event would be incremented once, even in the face of multiple failures.

Relying on another distributed system to ensure the first distributed system isn't duplicating messages sounds like a headache I wouldn't wish on anyone. (I am a Confluent employee).

JavaScript looks nothing like the “created in 10 days” version to which you speak. I would highly suggest you take an uncomfirmation(?) biased look at the language as it is now. Asyncs simplicity is arguably a reason why it’s a good platform to build off of. I agree I would rather have a single binary, and node may not be the best platform for shells on this point.
The FAQ says

"It's ok to post stories from sites with paywalls that have workarounds."

This story, AFAICT, does not have a workaround. Edit: Yes, I did try the link posted elsewhere.
Yes, but it can be terrible. Suggestion is to take one of the angular library generators. They really need proper docs on how to set this up properly.
The Haskell REPL is pretty good for a static language, but the experience is dramatically different to how a Clojure programmer would use want to use it. To be fair, Node and Python also have totally not usable REPLs for this style.

thanks for the correction. I certainly intended just "Pommes". Glad you understood my meaning.

Of course language that deviates from what's spoken by the educated (and powerful) people in the country is considered uneducated. I think you'll also find that in many languages. That's the same principle behind the people who think you are stupid for not saying "der Zucchino". I won't get into the stereotypes about fat people...

And the incentives spiral downwards. If everyone cheats, the only sensible course of action is to also cheat.

This is exacerbated in communist countries (like North Korea) that don't provide their people with enough via legit means. If you are hungry, and your standard rations aren't enough, cheating to get enough becomes vital, which encourages more cheating and even less given away freely and the race to the bottom starts.
Ask HN: How’d you go from a noodler to writing large well structured programs?
I do a lot of coding for work (Quant Analysis) mostly in Matlab, but also VBA, and occasionally python. My team has come to write something like 15k lines of code for our overnight process.

How do you learn to structure a large program? We basically have one Matlab file that calls tons of other routines in different files in a straight order. All are in the same folder. The whole thing is out of hand. We also do not have any form of source control or testing. Wen things break, we fix them on the fly.

Do you have a good book recommendation on project structuring?
It's very easy to reverse that as in inability to formulate a clear question is a strong indication of inability to manage a software dev. team effectively :)

> Fiver and maybe Upwork
If you're going that route of finding a translator for each language yourself, I strongly suggest a translator community like proz.com, translatorscafe.com, or linguaquote.com (founded by HNer luxpir). Or a translator association like the ATA (American Translators Association). They all have translator directories you can search, and the communities have places you can post projects for bidding/quotes.

Alternatively, if you want human translation as a service, there are companies like gengo.com or unbabel.com.

But I strongly recommend against Upwork or Fiver. You can find some qualified translators on those sites, but you're much more likely to find someone who really doesn't know what they're doing. There are some of the same in the translator communities and associations, but if you're judicious about your search criteria, you're much less likely to end up with such a translator.
