This is an interesting paradox because the whole point of the system was that it was decentralized, and once set in motion the rules could not be changed.

Or so they can?

And who decides?

Because these forks can have considerably favourable or negative outcomes for specific stakeholders, it's nary impossible to make the decision 'fairly' and this rather undermines the whole thing, no? And yes, I do understand that 'value' may be the same after such 'forks' but different post-fork mechanisms will imply different outcomes, surely.

Would it be possible for nefarious actors to wedge themselves into this process? ... Because we were all looking for the 'technical fault' in the maths/encryption, we possibly missed this aspect of risk?
> anybody, in any market, would prefer to make luxury units.

It really depends on the market. Builders aren't stupid. If there's no one willing or able to pay for granite countertops they won't spend the money putting them in. They will build luxury units if they are profitable, otherwise they'll build cheaper ones that they can let out. Alternatively you might get a building boom where everyone overbuilds luxury units and prices collapse. Either way, win-win for consumers.

> Yet no other market seems to operate by supplying only luxury units and depending on trickle down. Why are there Corollas, instead of just more Lexuses?

You have to consider:

1. It's easy to ramp up (and down) car production, but not so much for housing. If carmakers had restrictions on how many cars they could produce every year, there's a good chance they too would try to focus on the higher-margin market. But because they are allowed to build without restrictions, they produce something that's affordable to every segment. I'm not saying "build baby build" because real estate is different from cars. But the current regime in the Bay Area is way too far in the other direction. It's like the government saying no one can build any new cars at all for multiple decades. Software engineers making $200k/year would be driving 15-year-old Corollas with the hubcaps falling off and Bill Gates would have the only Tesla in private hands (I'm exaggerating obviously)

2. There actually is (in a way) trickle-down at work in the car market: used cars. Used cars add to the supply of cars on the market, keeping prices lower. A lot of used car buyers are lower-income people who may pay cash because they don't qualify for financing on a new car, or because it may be financially ruinous for them to go into debt on a depreciating asset.

3. Much of the intrinsic value in real estate is in the location and the land. Whereas for a car most of the intrinsic value is in the design, marketing, quality of parts, engineering etc. Where an apartment is located determines how much it will rent for to a much greater degree than the quality of the apartment (assuming basic livability standards are met). $700k will buy you a burned-out 1-bedroom house in San Francisco or 2 spacious 3-bedroom houses in suburban Houston. Why? Because of where these dwellings are located.

but they do get injured. And these workers are at quite a risk of being injured, which will reduce their pay and shorten their working life.. reducing their lifetime earnings. That's the reality of working in manufacturing today. To pretend otherwise is a fantasy.

So a device that reduces injuries, will enable them to work more years, and increase their lifetime earnings.

I can’t overstate how important it is for Google, Apple, and Microsoft to keep hammering at this. It’s workkng. The DOJ is running into this a lot now (e.g. can’t get into a drug dealer’s iPhone to see who he’s messaging). Eventually, they’ll see that the ship has sailed and encryption is just something they have to deal with.
A business is built on all of the technology and knowledge available in the world, and exists to add value to society. An employee doesn’t deserve some sort of “productivity benefit” because they are utilizing the same technologies as everyone else.

If you want profit in excess of what the market will pay for your skills then you need to take risk yourself - start a business and make as much profit (or loss) as you are capable of.

There is a section of society that advocates for making laws that artificially pay people more than they are worth by forcing business owners to pay above market wages. This will make employees artificially more expensive and encourage alternative mechanisms to reduce labor costs (automation / outsourcing).

In the best situation, there would be no minimum wage. Society could choose to top-up wages with whatever benefit they want (basic income perhaps) and let the market freely determine wages. The more you warp the free market, the more unintended consequences you have.

“assuming no additional risks emerge during that time...We’ll make a determination at a later date about adding trading support”

They do not have a plan to add it to the trading platform, which is the only thing that would drive any real value to the Bitcoin Cash market. The only reason they added it at all is to allow people to take their coin and sell it on another exchange, to avoid lawsuits.

If they had any plan to add it to add it to the exchange. It would make much more sense to release it at the same time, thereby profiting off of the trading fees

True that.. they even tried to acquire reddit back in 2014 but the deal didn’t go through.
I agree and I actually would expect Toutiao to do plenty of innovative things within the space they can work in, within the confines of what's allowed.

I would expect one of these companies will want to attempt what Sony did and accumulate a music business. The question will be how they can manage to align that with the media restrictions they have to live within. Maybe Toutiao is young enough to still dare to attempt it, I think the older, larger Chinese Internet companies long ago learned to avoid challenging the CPC's boundaries.

In a less restricted atmosphere, companies like Snapchat or Twitter would be prime take-over targets for some of the Chinese giants looking for international expansion. I think a company like Tencent might have acquired Twitter by now if they could operate the platform without censorship trouble.

The other side of this is that enshrining encryption as something that police can't compel you to help with just creates a huge loophole for hiding incriminating documents. You can go to jail for destroying evidence, why would encrypting the data and refusing to provide the password or deleting the key be any different?

Or simply talk to nginx in HTTP. Here's Glyph of Twisted's take on it (in a nutshell: why convert HTTP into an HTTP-like protocol which is neither as well-standardised nor as well-documented?) :
https://twistedmatrix.com/pipermail/twisted-web/2006-April/0...

You could use a very stripped-down and thus potentially very efficient HTTP parser given that most of the work will be offloaded to nginx.

Also, last time I checked, nginx didn't support request multiplexing/pipelining over FastCGI (as it does over HTTP). Instead, each HTTP request received by nginx would result in a new (FastCGI) connection to your application which is obviously suboptimal.

Ask HN: Best practices for giving clients total cost estimates
So a potential new client plops a big involved website project down in my lap and asks "how much?".

I can give them my hourly rate, and I can make a wild guess at approximately how many hours it might take... provided everything goes perfectly according to plan.

But I really struggle with giving clients with budgets a proper estimate.

I find that I can't provide an accurate estimate until I have completed at least 10 or 20% of the work to be done.

But brand new clients are of course a bit hesitant about allowing me to start the clock running without giving them a full estimate.

I also feel extremely pressured by my own estimates once I provide them.

I say 50 hours at my rate, they say OK, and then 25 hours into the project I realize that it's actually going to take me closer to 70 hours.

Is it fair for me to work 20 hours extra for free essentially? Should I be punished for not making an exact estimate of a fairly complicated and involved process?

I am a competent programmer, but I really struggle with the concept of estimates.

Any and all advice you can provide will be appreciated!

>and once set in motion the rules could not be changed.

This was not the case, nor has it ever been. There have been many consensus changes in the past, and bitcoin has had forks that were reverted by the bitcoin community previously. (See the bitcoin 0.8 fork).

There have been multiple revisions of bitcoin which would have changed the rules. They haven't yet resulted in a hard fork permanently (except for bitcoin cash) because people have updated before the new consensus rules were activated.

Everything you're saying is true, but I think there's something far less dramatic that somehow rings true for people even more. One revelation of Snowden is that the NSA would regularly 'seize' and pass around attractive nudes and other such media that were intercepted from people. [1] At other times there was something that even got its own little name 'LOVEINT' which would involve NSA workers spying on their love or romantic interests for reasons. [2]

When you talk about things like torture nobody really worries about things like that happening to them, because it mostly won't. But I think people tend to forget that these ABC agencies are made up of people. People that, like all people, are very flawed. My family tends to be of the 'I don't care - I have nothing to hide' state of mind. Referencing these events, which are really just basic consequences of human nature, sent them on a 180 fast.

React explicitly discourages using inheritance with components, instead promoting composing components together like functions.

> It’s easy to come up with “You hit orc for 15 HP”. It’s much harder to come up with many versions of “your blade misses the orc”.

Dwarf Fortress has epic fight descriptions. Weapons getting stuck, severed body parts, grabbing said severed body parts and bashing the opponent with them... it does verge on too much detail though. There's also no concept of HP, deaths occur through e.g. bleeding out, organ failure, etc.

I don't think it's too much of a problem to be somewhat repetitive with the miss; if you're missing enough that the repetitiveness is getting to you, you're probably doing something wrong. You can also borrow from the pen and paper games and have critical misses with adverse effects -- overbalance, enemy counters, etc.
Have you written about it or shared pictures of it online? I'm sure many of us would enjoy a 'Show HN' of this even if it's rough looking.
But it's impossible to make affordable and below-market housing profitable unless the underlying issues, land acquisition costs and zoning, are addressed. That means the government will have to subsidize these units and they still won't be enough to meet demand. So only the lucky few who win the housing lottery will benefit. Everyone else (most lower-income people, middle-income renters overpaying for low-end housing) still loses out.

I'd prefer that we solved the problem for most people rather than just a lucky few. If people couldn't afford food because not enough farmland was available for reasons like "preserving the character of the area" (imagine that you can't truck food in from lower-cost locations in this scenario) you bet we'd find a way to start growing more food stat. No one would say "Well we'll just subsidize food for some people so fewer people will starve. But it's no use letting farmers farm because they'll just grow Kobe beef and avocados instead of wheat and corn".
So could someone theoretically produce music that if played very loudly during coitus would also act as a contraceptive?
I wish I didn't agree with you but I do.

Security is a process not a state. You cant say that something is "secure", there is more secure and less secure. What the politicians are saying is that your individual security is not as important as their responsibility in security policy.

Security + Politics = Every shade of grey conceivable and then some not yet conceived.

Nah. This is a good list of questions. Partly because startups will include equity, and you need to know these things (and more) to make a guess at valuing the equity. And partly because a company without strong answers is likely to be out of business soon; changing jobs unexpectedly can be expensive, especially if you get stiffed on wages.

But mostly because it really sucks to spend a couple of years building stuff that never gets used. There are a few people who seem happy to get paid even if nothing is achieved. But most engineers I know do the work because the like building things that get used, things that are valuable.
I wish regulators could be perfect, and if they were, we'd reduce harm a lot. But since we know they're not, we can, as participants in society, be as Caesar's wife--above suspicion--and avoid these situations entirely.

I really don't want to be overly negative, and I applaud people for putting in work like this... but this is a perfect example of whats wrong with BSDesque licenses right here.

More people should at least consider gplv3'ing their stuff. So many of the bad stories we hear are side-effects from software that doesn't respect the user in the first place, with licenses that don't respect the user.

RMS was and is right.

If I may offer an alternative that respects the user, I have had great experiences with Hiawatha, and is my current standard webserver these days, even over nginx or apache. With an added bonus of being programmed with security in mind from the start, which is something we always hear people talk about wanting but how often do we actually see it?
Not op but to bring this into concrete terms the multiple incompatible UI toolkits, and especially the GTK rewrites couldn't have helped.

I remember first starting out trying to decide if I should use KDE or GTK. And this choice would affect how well your apps worked in ways that are totally non obvious if you aren't a UI programmer.
That's a good question. We should probably be cooperating to find out instead of asking it to silence ideological opponents. It might be useful to know for transient key secure multiparty computation.
