This. And we don't even need WW3. Consider the amount of desertification, greenhouse gases, and reduction of biodiversity and extrapolate.
If you guys want to check out the most ludicrous scam I've seen, take a look at Bitconnect. It's a 2 billion dollar literal (and I mean literal) ponzi scheme.

They promise 1%/day returns but only if you deposit your money on their platform for several months, they have a referral program with ridiculously high bonuses, and they have no real justification for the returns other than a bunch of technobabble about their "amazing" proprietary trading software. Of course, this doesn't explain why they don't just use it themselves without needing other people's money.

Also, the owners are anonymous.

I swear, there's so many red flags it feels like I'm playing minesweeper.

The most damning things about this scheme is their own marketing. Take a look at this video from their "conference": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dXI5eGJK-CY&feature=youtu.be...

For the sake of full disclosure and identifying my bias I do hold some cryptocurrency.
Enigma | New York, NY | https://www.enigma.com/

We're a Series B company based in New York City and backed by NEA Ventures, Two Sigma Investments, Comcast and American Express. Enigma was founded in 2012 in order to centralize and normalize public data globally (think Google for public data).

Our view is that public data reflects more of our everyday lives than most of us realize. It’s everywhere, from a plane taking off from an airport to a barrel of crude oil flowing through a pipeline to a new drug being approved. These things exist in specific and separate public datasets, but together, they can provide a vast and powerful view of what’s happening in the world.

https://www.enigma.com/

https://www.enigma.com/labs

Today, we’ve grown into an operational data management and intelligence company that uses public data to inform and train each of our products. Our mission is to empower people to interpret and improve, the world around them. We believe in curiosity and the power of discovery.

We’re actively hiring and would love to hear from you. Below are links to a few of key open engineering roles, but for the full list of openings, see here: https://www.enigma.com/careers/openings

It is a textbook example of a speculative bubble. Shiller's book Irrational Exuberance is a great exposition on the topic. Almost every criterion he cites is satisfied: dramatic price increases, "new era" stories, mass media coverage, and stories of overnight millionaires. The only thing missing is lowered lending standards.

This doesn't mean the price will go down though, it is notoriously difficult to predict when a bubble will pop and hazardous to bet against financially.
I know, I know. We've been having some interesting discussions about Clojure, Haskell and dynamic and static typing on these stories

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15602658

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15593069

My comment was intended to be a wry one referencing those very interesting discussions and hinting that if you have types then you can more easily make breaking changes internally that aren't visible externally.
Hi, I'm a VS Code developer.

Can you please open a new issue and describe "as you would to a five year old" what's not working as expected.

Even from reading this comment thread I simply don't get it, so it might be something very easy to fix, once I do understand what it's about.

Thank you for your patience! :)
Zero could be a perfectly "valid" value and still break your application if changing the function to always return zero breaks an implicit contract. Suppose the previous behavior of the function returned something you could use as an ID for some internal representation in a database that you could look up and write to. Before, the ID you got back depended on the input, but now it doesn't. And you can't tell you're not getting real IDs back anymore, so you just happily write to the database.
Now you're corrupting your database because the implicit behavioral contract you were relying on was broken - I'd MUCH rather the program just crash than for it to continue "working" in a way that irrecoverably corrupts data.
Amongst the emotion, Linus essentially says "I'll reject your kernel patches until you acknowledge my point (rule)". I suspect that had more to do with it than the profanity or the emotion.
Keep in mind this is not wood as in trees cut to parts. These buildings almost always use CLT - cross laminated timber. So there are no air gaps to speak of.
Not quite. `xmlint --format` can introduce unwanted spaces. Consider this example.

<p><i>hello</i><b>!</b></p>

`xmllint --format` adds a space between the 'o' and the '!'.
Somewhere, someone has thrown away a copy of Javascript the good parts, that will be humanity's saving grace.
Bitcoin's value is given by the trust people put in it. Just like with the fiat currencies as a matter of fact, because I don't know of any of them to be backed by anything else than trust.

Of course, the US dollar has the whole US economy and the biggest army in the world as its plus, but it also has its minuses: the US treasury can and does print as many as it wants, in the detriment of ALL USD holders.

Bitcoin's pluses when comparing it to other crypto currencies are:

- the first to market advantage

- almost 9 years of virtually 0 hacks of the protocol or concept

- no sudden moves

- the whole ecosystem that formed around it

- etc.

Let's not forget - ETH is less than 3 years old, Ripple is centralized, Litecoin, zCash, Monero and most of the others are bitcoin forks.
Yea I mean transfer learning would bring over the first n convolutions so it would be faster than from scratch, but you still need the radiology data to get the last few steps.
Really? How so? If you have abstract types then you can easily make internal changes without making those changes visible externally.
Off-topic, but I'd be really interested in seeing a reference for such a study. A single action potential is usually only 1-3 ms (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Action_potential and references therein), and retina to LGN to V1 (the first two stops in the early visual pathway in mammals) takes seveeral tens of ms (off-hand cannot find a ref, sorry). If a human can react to a visual stim in anything less than that, it would seem to be because (i) they are anticipating the stim based on some prior cue, or (ii) there is some shortcut directly from the eye to motor neurons, and the rest of the brain isn't involved directly. In any case 1-3 ms still seems extremely fast.

Also, a child observing a cat continuous for 10 seconds is getting highly correlated samples, not new independent instances. The effective number of samples (which I quite agree would be >1 if the child got to examine the cat from different perspectives, or the cat moves around, etc etc) should still be lower than what a putative sampling rate would suggest.
What does "aviation-grade" mean in a software context?
7 years ago I came across a programming challenge - The Cult of the Bound Variable The challenge was described as an ancient specification written in sandstone for a universal machine. This really sparked my interest - the task was to write an emulator! The question to myself, was how many lines of code can it take to write an emulator ?

Here is my solution in c# ... 33 lines of code.

I actually have my own Cisco Phone adapter to connect my old analog phone/answering machine. I'd assume that a true SIP phone would work as well. What's questionable is whether I could authenticate from a different network than my home network.

I know, however, that both Vodafone and Telekom in Germany offer products that allow connecting VOIP phones from anywhere to a virtual phone appliance.
lol, master of brilliance. Is that an MS or MA?
>Please do enlighten me then, what do other cryptocurrencies offer?

Other cryptocurrencies can provide:

- Private, near untracable ways of doing payments

- Efficient, near 0-cost ways of transfering funds.

>I also think my first sentence applies to bitcoin and ethereum which together have a bigger market cap than all the other cryptocurrencies added together.
"Cryptocurrencies have a niche use, mainly to buy things on the black market but also for small peer-to-peer international payments when other options are not practical. For this reason, I don't expect that cryptocurrencies will completely disappear anytime soon."

If you want to talk about Bitcoin and Ethereum, say Bitcoin and Ethereum, and not "Cryptocurrencies".

Bitcoin is not anonymous. Bitcoin has high transaction cost.
Ethereum is not anonymous. Ethereum has a comparable high transaction cost.

These facts mean buying on the black market, and small international payments are not ideal to do with these cryptocurrencies.
Most people with which I've interviewed recently seem to understand that lots of tech people do significant work outside of their formal employment.

But I also wasn't imagining a separate section. I have a "skills" section and that's where I'd imagine adding the things about which I was responding.

> People may even consider it a red flag that you list skills you didn't work with in your most recent position.

I could understand this somewhat if someone had been at their most recent position for a decade but for anything less than that it doesn't seem unreasonable to me to include things one might not have used, or used frequently, at the single most recent position.
Whoop! Would love to—thanks for your time :)

That's quite an investment. I started in amateur astronomy with a C8, film, and manual tracking via the spotting scope. It was good enough for the Orion nebula, moon and planets, but not much else.

I still have that equipment and recently pulled my scope out for the first time in more than a decade for the recent solar eclipse. I really should upgrade to modern equipment some day. But I decided I was happy just looking through my scope and leaving the photography to the pros.

What is it that's mounted above the secondary mirror of your tube? Also, is that a C11?
As a side note, the debate is not that simple. Vaccines work, but many vaccines are manufactured without what many would consider proper testing, and using toxic substances banned in different countries.

The debate is more about sloppy implementations than about the idea of vaccines as a whole. It's like someone is forcing the issue down to choosing poorly-regulated vaccines - or no vaccines at all. A false dichotomy.
My current employer dislikes when you don't use it, because it's a liability they have to carry on the books which affects other financial concerns (or so I'm told). If there is a culture of not using your holidays then that does add up to some pretty significant liability for a small company.

They also understand that downtime is important and would rather a long ongoing employment compared to a short, no-holiday speed-run of legacy code production before bailing.
It's not as strong as the kernel. Go does not break APIs but may break undocumented behavior.
Strongly agree. POS is just a dream (until someone proves me wrong :P)
First of all, not all existing cryptos are deflationary. Off the top of my head, Dogecoin is the best-known example of an inflationary crypto. There are about 110,000,000,000 Doge in circulation at the moment, and that number will increase at a rate of a little over 5,000,000,000 per year ad infinitum.

Secondly, the inherent deflationary nature of Bitcoin has not yet come to pass. Coins are currently being mined at a rate of 4% per year, halving about every 18 months. Once the inflation rate for Bitcoin goes negative, only then will we be dealing with a truly deflationary currency. It only seems deflationary now because the demand for Bitcoin is drastically outpacing the rate at which it's being inflated.

Finally, the inability of the state to inflate Bitcoin at will is the point. If you want to keep your capital in a state-controlled inflationary currency no one is going to stop you. What I and others in the Bitcoin community believe will happen is that "bad money will drive out good". People will spend their dollars and hoard their Bitcoin, as they will understand that dollars will be worth less and Bitcoin more in the future. The only way to stop that from happening will be a drastic reduction in the number of dollars in circulation... which again, is kind of the whole point for many of us.

> The use case for bitcoin is the same use case that makes up 95% of the price of gold - its predictably scarce. Thats its value.

That's one use case, yes. It's not the only use case.
The bug they fix is the bug that keeps the API contract intact. The first application gets its bug fixed, and the second application breaks because it was relying on a bug that didn't match the API contract.
You program to an API, not to an implementation. The second application did the latter, and will therefore pay the price.

The braille displays you typically encounter will only display one line of braille at a time.

You are telling me that a blind person will be able to remember the entire line of gibberish as the geometric shape gets "printed" line by line and then remember those at 30 frames per seconds?

Come on, it's not about being too stupid to understand. It's about this technology having nothing at all to do with the blind except for hijacking useful Unicode characters.
You only say "calmly and politely" because Linus is a known pottymouth and frequently "tears people a new one". An email like this might get you demoted or fired in some workplaces.
I think of the line from the Big Lebowski a lot: "You're not wrong, Walter. You're just an asshole."
just do that instead of bothering me with a wall of text every time I save a file!

I certainly wouldn't want to be hit with this wall of text every time I save a file. I was thinking that this sort of option ought to be a global setting that could perhaps be altered on a per-document basis if (and only if) the user cares to muck about with it.

It could, perhaps, be a choice that is presented to the user upon new document creation.

This UI solves a problem for the computer, not the user. [...]
In this case, there's surely a way to write files quickly
enough while still maintaining user privacy

Life is full of these choices. There's a gas pedal in my car. I can mash it (to go fast but burn a lot of fuel) or be gentle with it (and save gas, but I won't go as fast). Ideally the car should be crazy fast and crazy safe and crazy fuel efficient no matter how you drive the sucker, but that's a tough engineering challenge and ultimately we (today) leave that choice to the drive.

That said, you are 100% correct. Maybe the privacy/paranoia steps are something that could be done on a background thread. The file could be saved quickly, and then the database could be privacy-optimized in the background immediately thereafter.
Under what circumstances is the public domain license actually a problem?

It's also worth noting that you also have the option of purchasing a license for $6000. I'd imagine it's mostly companies that are likely to have concerns over licensing issues, and for most companies that price should be completely affordable. Especially when you consider the project's superb quality level and extensive test suite.
Someone needs to codify this shit for when he leaves. Its surprising that he still needs to scream at people after two decades of kernel work. I don't have a lot of faith that whoever comes after him will be as proud of the kernel as he is given they just inherited most of it.

Succession is a weird concept with linux but the fact that it has always been more stable than the other OS' is I think the main reason it is been so successful in the internet age.

An example of a failed succession is Tim Cook; the guy is the complete opposite of Jobs. Just take a look at the apple website nowadays. A product guru would not sell three generations of iphones that are all cannibalizing each other and lack any real differences.
> there are no major, minor, patch level changes, in reality every change is a possible breaking changes

I noticed this when recently writing a spec that defines backwards-compatibility. There's surprisingly few things you can do when you want to stay backwards-compatible.

Well, sometimes, but the Windows philosophy is probably to introduce a shim so that an app relying on the broken functionality still works.

Sorry if I’m being dense here, but I don’t actually see how you’re disputing that the threshold for attacking a single fork has (in the example) fallen from 51% of all bitcoin-capable miners, to 16%.

I don’t care whether sloshing is “normal healthy behavior”. I care whether a fork has become easy to attack. You seem to focus on every topic but that one.

Investment App Inside: Expert Interview with Gene Linetsky, CTO at Realty Shares
Hi @mihok and everyone,
Co-founder of Broid here. Have you had the chance to look at our repo (https://github.com/broidHQ/integrations) ?
@ Broid, we believe in democratizing messaging and we do so by providing an open standard using the W3C AS2 schema.

We are currently supporting more than 20 Messaging Platforms as well as providing a Web Messenger (website & mobile)
that has all the best conversational features: carousels, cards, quickreplies, geolocation etc..

I would be happy to discuss with you about minimalchat and see how the Broid community or the team can help you.

(We are looking for contributors to be part of the team.)
Halloween Hack: Should SCADA/ICS Be Scared?
Indeed. I upgraded a Ubuntu installation a while ago. The network just stopped working because the developers of NetworkManager had decided that NM should no longer manage wired network connections on some Ubuntu configurations.

That is just a crappy attitude and I have to say NetworkManager is generally one of the buggiest and most unreliable pieces of software I have ever used. And I'm actually making a great effort to be polite here.
It’s interesting that they mention that Geof’s Inspiration is coming from biology. I think there is a lot more mining we could do in this area. We don’t have to capture the implementation details, just the salient ingredients that make intelligence work in biological organisms.
Form a German perspective, that was a pretty close call.

As the article states, in places like Germany, double opt-in (or an equivalent) is mandated by the application of German (or even EU?) law.

If they had really gone through, they would have put their German users into a legally vulnerable position.

The rudeness of meddling with customers' settings notwithstanding, this kind of lapse is inexcusable from a company specialising in mailinglist delivery.
Here's one I made: http://norstrulde.org/ilge10/

The language is based on Scheme and Common Lisp.

The instruction set is derived from one described in the book Paradigms of Artificial Intelligence Programming by Peter Norvig.

The concurrency primitives are inspired by Erlang.

It's implemented in (old-fashioned) JavaScript but the compiler is self-hosting.
Kafka Streams is just a small wrapper library to make it easy to work with Kafka partitions, along with some utilities for reading, transforming, and writing to another stream in a single step.

Pulsar doesn't have any client overhead since it's all tracked on the broker so there's no real need for a separate library. Read, process, and push messages using any code you want, 1 at a time or in batches.

There's no realistic "exactly once" either, it's idempotency or some local cache of processed events used to dedup, you can read more here: https://streaml.io/blog/exactly-once/
As someone that works for a company with a moderately similar business model as netflix, I can almost guarantee that Netflix is not imposing this DRM by their own volition. It is highly likely that the owners of the rights to their content force the DRM as a condition of allowing their content to be used.
Yep! Hobbies I guess. It's a C8 EdgeHD, with the secondary replaced by the Hyperstar [1] which transforms the Schmidt-Cassegrain into a Schmidt camera like system (in my case 425mm f/2.1), in that configuration it's easier to trade sky noise for read noise since the sub exposures can be very short. I might one day trade it for the RASA (Rowe-Ackermann Schmidt Astrograph), but I already have a 12" Newton to maintain in Nerpio!

[1]: https://starizona.com/acb/hyperstar/whatis.aspx
Thanks for clearing it up!

And... Jeez. What utter amount of bullsh.t and wasted money... everyone with a bluray drive and a copy of AnyDVD HD can create a perfect untraceable backup anyway so why do the studios insist on making the experience for Netflix users as bad as possible?!
Thanks for your comment and raising the question. We are working on documentation and are really moving fast to get it understandable. To understand the architecture I will create a Video thus making it more easy to understand.

Regarding performance, Please try building and running the application. Development mode is not good for measuring performance.
The site https://www.reactpwa.com & https://demo.reactpwa.com are built with the same boilerplate and are performing really nice. Any inputs here are appreciated.
Actually, both Linux and BSD are used - BSD on OpenConnect cache appliances, but Linux for the entire backend running in AWS.
Makes you wonder why no-one else came up with that idea before. I mean, it is pretty revolutionary, but also really obvious in hindsight.
