Do a little searching on the people pushing the "2x" Fork - Here's one example, CEO of OP's link Coinbase.com:

>Coinbase CEO Owns More Ether Than Bitcoin - Coinjournal

>Coinbase CEO Armstrong: Ethereum Scaling Better Than Bitcoin

Another example, The head coder on the "2x" fork has announced his own coin to ICO soon,

> Jeff Garzik, ... has seen its shortcomings firsthand. So he decided to create a better digital currency.

All the people pushing the 2x fork are very heavily invested in coins competing with Bitcoin. It's odd.
If you didn’t feel part of a team and communication was terrible, an open office can’t fix it. That’s bad leadership and bad management.

And how can you overhear a teammate going down a wrong path with headphones on? You don’t need to wander down a hall to see if someone is available with Slack, but wandering down halls is far more healthy than been planted at your desk all day.

I have spent so many hours staring at Electric Sheep, thinking and wondering about how it works, that I finally looked it up, and found the papers about it!

It took less time to read the papers than it took to stare at the screen all day tripping out and wondering, but I like to do both.

The Flame Algorithm

Flames are algorithmically generated images and animations. The software was originally written in 1992 and released as open source, aka free software. Over the years it has been greatly expanded, and is now widely used to create art and special effects. The shape and color of each image is specified by a long string of numbers - a genetic code of sorts.

I've been using Fluxbox for a decade, and couldn't stand OSX or Windows when I tried using them for a few months. Fluxbox looks slick and it's super fast, though it took a while to configure. I have nothing behind my windows but a background image and a clock, battery, wifi indicator, and the desktop number in the lower right corner. I start most programs from the terminal anyway and use virtual desktops instead of minimizing things.

I defined keystrokes for resizing windows, opening terminals, switching between virtual desktops. Using alt-click to drag and resize windows is also nice because it means the windows need almost no frame and you don't have to aim. Now I get frustrated with other OSes. For example, when I read a book off a webpage with useless banners on the top and bottom, I like to resize my browser so it's larger than the screen and the useless parts of the webpage are off the screen. This is easy to do if you have keystrokes for resizing windows....

On the other hand, everyone else has trouble using my computer. And this will likely get worse. Eventually I'll switch from Dvorak to a steno keyboard.

After working for a few companies who (tried to) make ML products, I think one of the most important questions to ask is "who owns the data you are building models on?". It is way harder for a company to build good models off data they don't have complete access to and full knowledge about. The worst (and unfortunately common) scenario for companies trying to do AI is that data scientists don't have full access to all priors necessary to build good models, and the owners of the data don't really know much about it either.

And remote execution.
Yep. It also had some differences in behavior. `createClass` auto-bound functions so that `this` always pointed to the component instance, and it supported mixins.

The React team now encourages functional forms of composition rather than use of mixins, so that's another reason why React.Component doesn't support them. The lack of automatic method binding has certainly been a major pain for people learning and using React, but it also means that there's no "magic" involved. The Stage 3 Class Properties syntax is the recommended way to ensure that methods are bound properly, and there's plenty of other possible solutions as well.
> There are going to be a lot of forks in the future.

I tend to agree. The problem, then, is what happens after 3 forks? 4? 10? We're going to keep increasing the number of crypto currencies we own and then we figure to figure out who supports what version of the currency we have to figure out how to cash out...

The entire idea of a fork sounds like an absolute nightmare. This is why I'm not putting any serious amount of money in crypto currencies.
Ask HN: How did slack beat hipchat?
I was never a hipchat user, but I'm intrigued by how slack beat them (and others) when they had a headstart of several years. Did slack address a pain point that hipchat didn't, or was it just a case of better marketing?
If Zuckerberg didn’t exist, Facebook as it stands would not exist. Everyone he hired agreed to be compensated with the terms he decreed. Every person he gave equity, every person whose salary he directly determined, they all agreed to the terms of their employment. No one was forced to work for him or Facebook.

Why should he be forced to relinquish control or equity in his company if literally everyone he worked with agreed to the terms of their employment at his company? Who is the person that should decide “oh, at this point he has enough, he doesn’t deserve more”? You? Some other corrupt government individual?

I just don’t understand why you think that random people should be able to determine the fate of a fortune that someone amassed when they had nothing to do with it.

He pays his taxes. Facebook pays their taxes as required by law. Why do you think that’s not enough? I understand closing loopholes, but you apparently think we should go further? You think that we should set a hard cap on wealth? How would that not create adverse economic incentives?
Or you can use Google doc where whole document is together and basic coordination is not needed and no one needs to be disciplined with how often they push etc.

For me the key concept that comes to mind for a JIT compiler, is profiling at runtime to decide what to compile and how aggressively which this article doesn't deal with. The other big thing is how to make the profiling and compilation not be too expensive to negate itself.

The article author seems to be using GCC not at runtime, but more as a generator for templates (at the machine code level) for the rest of the software to use. You don't really want to be assembling a template at runtime in this context.
Ask HN: How to start a successful tech blog?

This is very impressive, and left me longing for more!

I'm not sure this is the direction you want to take, but I'll throw the idea in anyway. The format seems perfect to allow for user-made extensions:

- Content creation requires lots of work, but the kind of work that many are able to pull of, unlike videogame-like artwork.

- Being web-based, it should be possible to just link to new content: no need for downloads, plugins, etc.

Combining these two, you could pull off a kind of "wikipedia-like" game. I'm envisioning a game where there is a "known world" (where you enter initially). This would be your content. At the edges, you can venture into the uncharted parts of the world (link to people-contributed content/worlds/adventures). These outward links could be randomized among user-submitted worlds. If some of those worlds becomes so good you want to officially sanction it, you can then announce it as "charted" and incorporate it to the known world, with a permanent non-random entry point.

In my head, this would be very good because it would let you focus on the mechanic possibilities (which you seem to enjoy the most), freeing you from the content creation task while still building interesting game(s).
> Oh, with Linux you can play old games(and indie games) and comfort you thinking that linux is the best platform for a gamer and 2015 is not old in the videogame world

It's 2017 now. These games are not old and certainly not ancient. Most of the games I listed are AAA. You said "you cannot game on Linux" and I've proven you wrong. I just listed some games I like, I'm not about to list my whole collection for you to ridicule it.

I never said Linux was the best platform for a gamer, and certainly not the best platform for playing this year's games, but that was not your initial remark either, was it?

> Really do you think that a gamer will change windows 10 for linux

No, but since nobody was arguing this, it seems you're talking to yourself?

Please try to address the actual point, otherwise I won't bother answering you anymore.

Seems like a weird thing to miss for someone who ostensibly prefers functional programming.

For example, people here will talk about `function User() {}` like it's the pinnacle of amazing abstraction. Because it has the word "function" in it or something.

There's nothing functional about that to me. Mutating the prototype and dealing with the implicit `this` variable in your functions is about as far away from functional programming as you can get.

Meanwhile Javascript just gets more and more functional, from the mindshare of higher order functions/components gaining traction to the @decorator transformation to the Promise 'monad'. It just gets better and better.

I have a hard time taking anyone seriously who doesn't recognize the pain that `class` solved in the ecosystem whether you personally decide to use it or not. People have been writing OOP code in Javascript since day one, just with some of the worst idiosyncrasies of all OOP languages.
Package management very much does imply a walled garden. You can install packages from anywhere... as long as they conform to your package format... and they aren't incompatible with the way your distro's repository does things... and they aren't too old... or too new... did we mention there's like, 200 distros?

Yeah, totally flexible that.

And since when the hell can you choose where to install packages? Unless you're talking about very niche things like GoboLinux, or stupid workaround shenanigans with chroot and/or large amounts of symlinks. It's possible this is a thing that has changed and I never noticed because nobody ever does it. However, I doubt that very much given OSS developers' love for hardcoding paths at compile time.

People routinely distribute Electron Apps, which are bundled with an entire browser. Minecraft comes with the entire JRE bundled. Doom 2016, as far as I know, doesn't do anything like that but is something like 70GB anyway. 200MB is not a big deal, and for my money the complexity and limitations introduced by a package manager more than outweigh the extra space lost in the few cases where a large dependency might be used by more than one application.
> Fiat currencies don't fork

There was an interesting situation after the fall of the Soviet Union. Because most of the states didn't have economies strong enough to support their own currency, they remained a unified currency union as part of the CIS

The only problem was that each state then started printing the money like mad and then sending it to other states to be sold / traded. Some of the states then introduced what was a quasi two-currency system - to buy local currency or to exchange it, you required both the old Soviet Ruble and a new "permission" note from the state to exchange.

In theory this placed a cap on the inflation but the result was almost like a currency fork. A lot of these states ended up establishing their own currencies but still had problems with "swaps" from the old currency - so they were constantly reissuing new notes and new coins that needed to be exchanged - but many of the old notes or permission slips would have value on the black market
Side point: and understand if I get trashed here as maybe I am doing what I am about to criticise.... is it just me or are HN comments increasingly glib, political and of little informational value? This post is interesitng information with great potential for interesting discussion but the comments so far seem dominated by a style I would not normally expect on HN, something that has been happening over time but seems sharply more common these days.

When I came to HN, I did so because it was not Reddit. It was dominated by 2 things; information that I didn't understand (too technical) or 2) something that improved my knowledge about the world and business, the discussions often more so than the post.

From this I wonder (assuming people agree...) what can we do to hold the values of old HN discussion/posts, or is this the anthem of progress/popularity I have to accept?

Yes, citizens are taxes on worldwide income, but not corporations.

The US and Eritrea.

>...Very few developed nations have territorial taxation such as HK, SGP and Panama.

I don't think that is correct:

>...As of 2012, 28 of the 34 current OECD member countries (82 percent) have adopted
territorial tax systems that exempt 95-100 percent of qualifying dividends received
from foreign affiliates resident in some or all countries. Twenty countries exempt
100 percent and eight exempt between 95 and 100 percent of qualifying foreign
dividends.

>The number of current OECD member countries with territorial tax systems has
doubled since 2000.

The ones who do tax worldwide income also have lower rates than the US.

>...Research by Reed College economist Kimberly Clausing [PDF] and others has found that high rates in the United States have had a measurable effect on encouraging firms to invest more in low-tax countries than they otherwise would have.

For those of you that are surprised that this is possible, "In February 2007, Apple Inc. hired chief developer Michael Sweet and purchased the CUPS source code." (from Wikipedia)
When a chain splits, your full previous balance exists now on both child chains. The price of each chain's coins is set by supply and demand.

Typically people prefer to hold on to both coins after a split. So there's not actually that much sell pressure, meaning both coins can tend to exist together.
No, it's 1.0e+10 better! ;)

At one point I though you'd completely changed the algorithm and put in a new rendering engine or something, because it started doing stuff like I'd never seen it do anything like before.

But it kept on doing even more stuff like I'd never seen it do anything like before, so I asked you about it, and you said no you hadn't rewritten it, and what it looks like is out of your hands and no longer under your control at this point.
Fun to see the heated Bitcoin discussion and imagine that much of that heat comes from people having invested previously and now defending their decision.

More dangerous than the tech part of the fork IMO is that with any one fork one or more of the bitcoin deposit holding companies can decide at-will that they'll follow a fork as the "new" bitcoin

This is an even bigger threat when you consider that they could be incentivized to follow a less valuable fork: exchange your new bitcoin for the old, convert all your users to the new bitcoin - you can now pocket the difference.

On the other hand you can also attempt to keep the airdropped funds from forks. Coinbase at first didn't recognize the Bitcoin Cash fork - it was only with pressure that they relented. But there have been other trusted holders who just "ignored" forks

Many great recommandations already. I'd recommend Sterling as well, perhaps "Islands in the net" if you can get hold of a copy. Or "holy Fire". Stephenson's "Diamond Age", "Snowcrash". I read Singh's (non-fiction) "Codebook" before giving "Cryptonomicon" a shot - ended up not finishing it. Do recommend Singh.

Right now I'm reading Atwood's Madd Adam triology - it's shaping up to be some of the best dystopien sf I've read in a long while.

And for something a bit different I stumbled across in a thrift shop: "Canal Dreams" by Ian Banks.

Oh, and Gibson's latest: "The Peripheral".

Second the recommendedation for Richard Morgan, especially "Thirteen / Black Man" and "Broken Angels" (I accidentally started with this, book two of a triology, but actually think it stands well.on its own. The lack of exposition in the first chapter turns it in to a bit of a mystery book (who is this main character anyway?)).

Finally, a must-read (preferably the sci-fi masterworks edition with a foreword by Gibson): Alfred Bester, "The Stars My Destination / Tiger, Tiger".

The argument here is extremely simple.

Encryption is the only way to secure information. This is true for criminals and non-criminals alike. To deny encryption is to deny security to everyone.

Presuming it's the criminals who will look to exploit these vulnerabilities, denying security is making every non-criminal susceptible to attack.

So the only question that needs to be answered is this. Do we want to protect our citizens? The only answer is yes. The only solution is encryption.

The problem with strong encryption is that it already exists. Even if strong encryption were made illegal, criminals will be the one's securing their data despite the law. To deny citizens the right to protect themselves is just putting them all at risk. It's disarmament.

Under the law, all the police should need is a warrant. It's not even an exception to any rule.
