This is a great thing these kids are doing, but even if Twitter were to purchase their plugin and fully incorporate it, Twitter's problems won't ever go away.

If Twitter is defined by users who only want to share "little bits" of ideas, and only have the attention span to consume "small snippets" of information, it will always cater toward the simple minded.

Twitter will never be a good place to go to listen, to learn, or to have your ideas challenged in a real way.

Is it any surprise the bumper sticker of social networks has become such a toxic place?

No. You don't get it. This doesn't do 3d finger tracking. It just figures out where the keyboard is and does some edge detection to give a rough idea of where your hands are.

We are on the verge of the end of Bitcoin
In my humble opinion, Here is why :

The SegWit2X Hardfork is a Beautiful Trojan from Major Investment Bankers

In short: DCG (Digital Currency Group) is the company spearheading the Segwit2x movement. The CEO of DCG is Barry Silbert, a former investment banker, and Mastercard is an investor in DCG.
The SegWit2X project is being funded by the same people who brought you the 2008 financial crisis

More information: reddit.com/r/btc/comments/743qb8/is_segwit2x_the_real_banker_takeover/

As the price of the BTC continue to rise - People get new investment in BTC in order to profit from its rise - Coinbase record 100k last 24h -
Most profit investors will keep their BTC in order to get Free Money from the Hard Fork around November 16, 2017 - block height 494784,

But what about if you are unable to sell your SegWit2x coin (B2X) "as quick as I can" ?

People who keep BTC during the Hard Fork will be vulnerable to “replay attacks”

SegWit2X Team don’t want to enable Replay Protection,

And if there is no RP implemented on the Segwit2x, it will be a MESS for everyone - From the BitConnect ponzi to Miners to Everyone doing Transaction on the blockchain .. it will be a massive crash...

SHA256 Miners don’t want to support an unstable coin anymore, they will switch to Bitcoin Cash, a stable coin with a solid community and team - The Real Flippening is coming

Investors already making the switch

There are so much drama and politics/capitalism finance involved...
if it continues like this. Bitcoin will become a corrupted mainstream currency. And may end-up be adopted by corrupted Gouvernements.

We Humanity - need a healthy universal/world currency.
Thanks Bitcoin to bring media coverage about Blockchain technology.
Now I think it’s « good » time to leave Bitcoin.

Let’s be smart and pick another Coin - Altcoins which is Open Source, fully decentralized - ASIC Resistant, with a stable and ethical community with strong values-based team!
I understand your point here. I'll take it up with my team. Fair point.

It's not a work commitment. You're not working for your employer when you're commuting (unless you commute by train/bus and choose to do so).

It's like a side gig where your compensation is you don't get bent over for rent, get the freedom that comes with owning a home and no longer have to put up with the downsides of living in an apartment.

That's just what I was thinking. I was reminded that when watching a commercial for a company that solved the earth shattering problem of getting contact lenses. So many companies doing such trivial (well maybe not trivial but not hugely consequential) things. We've experienced a communications revolution but we are missing some of the cool things we thought we'd see back in the 50s. I think that's why Musk and company are so beloved. We are dying for someone to do something big!
This is excellent! Not only is it a great concept and a well-written article ("reify" is my new favourite word), but it completely succeeds in its goal of teaching a non-trivial concept. I'm very excited to see where this goes.

I've followed the work of some others in this space (like Bret Victor) for quite a while, and inspired by what I've seen and read (and also by frustration in college courses and elsewhere) I've started prototyping a new way to do derivations. It's effectively only a mock-up in its current stage but as it fits in the "new media for thinking" category I thought I'd share it anyway:

Update:
Turns out its a Mono app! So it gracefully died with this limerick:

Because BTC has had many changes in available supply. With BCH and 2X a lot of people that otherwise would happily hold their coins in cold storage have been "forced" into moving their coins around for "flippening" of the forked coins.

Also consider that a very large amount of coins was seized when BTC-E (corrupt exchange working with criminals) and AlphaBay (defunct darknet drug website) were shutdown around the same time. It's not just the capital that was seized (and is still be processed by many governments that co-operated) but also the flow of money that was interrupted.
You and everyone else predicting it since it was $200.
Add to that sentiment analysis by topic. Real people don't tweet about Hillary 100% of the time, no matter how awful she is.

Writing copy for a tech startup is very difficult because most people who write good marketing copy aren't necessarily very technically capable.

The way I always solved this was to get someone with technical insight write the first version and then have the copywriter re-write it into a human.

>Easy to procrastinate, easy to give false reports which then leads to regular overwork in the days just before a hard deadline.

This is so, so true for me. I used to work in a place which had an office, but you wouldn't be expected to be there most of the time, just come in at least once a week, maybe for meetings, etc.

I used to procrastinate and report progress to my manager when there was much less. But since the work was deadline-based, I'd just grind through the weekend with little sleep and catch up with what I've reported. I've never missed a deadline, but I'm still feeling bad about doing it that way and misleading them.

Just to be clear, this was a long time ago, when I was just starting my professional career, and didn't yet have stronger ethics.

FWIW, spreadsheets are another remarkable group planning tool with an HDMI big screen. Many projects work forward against backwards constraint logic not always clear from day 1. Bugs made shallow with enough eyes applies early in projects. Even editing text documents of tables and lists around consensus concerning values of features and costs of risks is very useful. I have never had much need for any developer just typing against personal request. I always force stakeholders across roles and departments to sign their names to schedules and sign their names to ongoing weekly schedule adjustments. Every slip is caught ASAP including eyes on features bigger than schedule budget stomachs.
Considering the atrocious UX of the google services and apps I use this has no value for me and won't until they actually produce good UX. Google fiber tv being one of the worst.
Yeah, that's what I was trying to get across. I think the revealed preferences of most people using adblockers is that, while they say they would be ok with unobtrusive ads, they really don't want any ads at all. And to be honest, that's not a ludicrous view, because I've found that even on sites that have ostensibly "unobtrusive ads", all it takes is one bad actor and one slip-up in the ad network's verification process and unobtrusive ads become obtrusive and/or start invading your privacy. But we're going to have to find some other way to pay for content at some point.

Also, thanks for fixing that link.
Any article like this that doesn't discuss how people pay for things is bunk. Yes the method of self actualization great people use is interesting but it's not applicable unless you know how they achieved their basic needs. While Thoreau was living in the woods his mother brought him food. Churchill had the time to write because he was born into a wealthy aristocratic family. These details matter.

I like it. Clean looking theme. You won't hear me complaining if someone makes it easy for people to make good documentation.

Static site builders are just annoying enough to use that it's a barrier to keeping documentation updated. You have to have a GitHub repo, write in markdown, and commit changes which means that nontechnical people can't really help keep documentation up-to-date.

I didn't see it in the demo, but how does it handle code snippets? That's the biggest pain-point I have with keeping documentation in WordPress.

The "state" in title stands both for the TCP state, and the country - an ironic meme in China. It is the opposite of "our country", a phrase usually seen in official media. The government does not even admit the existance of the GFW, which is one of the reasons why people say they are living in a different "state". The meme is explained here: http://foreignpolicy.com/2015/06/25/chinas-your-country-we-j...
I do and and don't, but you are bringing up some good points. Unfortunately you're also demonstrating point two. An unfortunate limitation to my above statement is that it doesn't work so well with strangers on the internet. So instead let me talk about the scientific process, as a scientist myself.

The above isn't how it works. But if it was, it might not even be wrong. Let's start with that. First off, why were they creating 1000 or even 1000's of models? You're on HN so I assume you program. In a big program how many times do you have to rewrite things before you get them working perfectly? Then how are these models accuracy determined? Well, with predictive power. The current weather models have high predictive power to 3 days (the European model has about 5). After that it is clear that error greatly increases. But that's weather, not climate, and I want to differentiate the two here. Climate modeling really is different from weather modeling. We have a lot of data on it, so it is more performing analysis to figure out the cause for changes. So let's ask ourselves how can we check the prediction power of our climate model? Well if our analysis is correct we can go about it two ways, or really check with both. We can use historic data (if you've ever looked into stock analysis, this is a common practice there). So we feed in our key variables and ask what temperature we get back. Does it match what we measured? And how well? We can also use it on new data, because as each day goes by we get more data.

I'll stop there, as I don't want to write an entire paper. But a key part to science is its predictive power. If we don't have predictive power it isn't science, plane and simple.

p.s. If you just plot the raw data (not modified for methods in which that data was gathered) you see a trend much worse than what current climate models predict.

p.s.s Current models have held up in predictions over the past few decades. But there is always room for improvement.
Apparently you need to stick to the second version of hidden services if you want to use stealth authentication.

Just tried to upgrade and got this `[warn] Hidden service option HiddenServiceAuthorizeClient is incompatible with version 3 of service in <path>`.

Does anyone know if there is any plan to support stealth authentication? It's a pretty usefull feature.
After an ICO the companies have to start cashing out Ether to fund their business plans so the success of ICOs puts downward pressure on Ether unless the ICOs are successful enough to bring new money into the ecosystem.

The ICO craze seems to have peaked and to be in rapid decline now with many governments cracking down or threatening to crack down on fraud so it is doubtful that ICOs can really bring new money to the table at this point.

The other big question on Ether (for me) is the talk about going from proof-of-work to proof-of-stake. That sounds like something that would sharply cut the price of Ether, which is good if you want the network to actually be useful, but bad if you are a speculator.
Yes, you are right. It generates dynamically all the assets and their relationship. You just need to config your AWS account.
Whether or not they knew they were fighting is not quite the relevant bit. What's relevant is knowing what the other guy's inputs are. Given that the other two pilots were quite surprised once Bonin finally said that he had been holding the stick back the entire time, they clearly were not aware of this.

You say it's not so clear that this ever really happened, but it's pretty clear to me from the official transcript:

Robert: remonte remonte remonte remonte

Bonin: mais je suis à fond à cabrer depuis tout à l’heure

Captain: non non non ne remonte plus là

Robert: alors descends

Robert: alors donne moi les commandes à moi les commandes

My quick and dirty translation:

Robert: climb, climb, climb, climb

Bonin: but I've had the stick back all the way this whole time

Captain: no, no, no, don't climb anymore

Robert: then descend

Robert: then give me the controls, I have the controls
I notice many of the biggest proponents of remote work are people with partners and/or a healthy social life. I won't begrudge them that, but, as someone with social anxiety, the structured routine of coming into the office offers a lot of benefits.

I find it odd that everyone thinks Chinese money laundering is the source of high valuations and not unprecedented amounts of central bank money creation. It is a function of their own efforts to devalue their currency more than the foreign ones so that they stay competitive exporting. Bubbles all around.
Also some of the "ICO high" is wearing off as reality sets in (some ICOs are garbage) and regulation begins.

In the bay area the morning crush is anywhere between 6:45 and 11:45. I've sometimes tried the "man traffic looks really bad right now and I don't have any meetings in the morning, I'll wait until later to start my commute" and then check again at 10:30 and it's the same _or worse_.

The problem is that “end-user” means two very different things. Most hackers still think of “end-user” as you and me (note the answers you’re getting), and this is why Free Software is losing battles left and right, particularly in mobile. Stallman’s comments re: iPhone, for example, demonstrate that as an industry and advocacy group we still don’t really understand this.

We have to accept that those who need rigid, inflexible computing to protect them far outnumber us. People don’t care if they can rewrite Notepad or read its source code, they care that Facebook works and that they don’t get viruses or added to a botnet. The only way to develop a healthy advocacy here is to understand that the hacker ideals and customizability that we expect of a computing system really make us a vanishing minority and acknowledging that for the now-average user, those ideals make less and less sense as time goes on. We had our run, then everybody else found computers. Times change. It’s not bad.

Is there a way to create your computer? For us, probably. For them, I’m increasingly believing it isn’t. This isn’t a knock against anyone, just an acknowledgment that there are almost certainly two answers to this question and Free Software ideals and beliefs aren’t equipped to handle the much, much larger answer. Proprietary operating systems, walled gardens, Internet centralization, it plays toward all of the ideals Free Software has been holding dear for decades. We have to evolve our thinking, I’m afraid. The less we acknowledge that perhaps Free Software is wrong for the average user, the less we will have a voice at the table; eventually, nobody will listen at all.

Hell, many cars don’t even allow you to work on them any more. Look at Teslas, higher-end Audis, etc. I offered to change my neighbor’s oil in his Audi and he got scared about his warranty.
And yet, here we are, paying it through the nose by losing time in transit, and contemplating wether it would be a moral thing to pay poor people into taking a longer route.
