> Right now there's actually an issue with iodine deficiency in the US because of the trendy use of pink Himalayan salt, various sea salts, or Kosher salt that are all non-iodized.

Citation please? I find this very hard to believe for a number of reasons.

1) Most salt intake in the US is through packaged and prepared foods, not table salt.
2) The American Thyroid Association disagrees with you - "In the United States, iodine status has remained generally adequate in the last 2 decades"
3) There are many commonly consumed foods in the US that contain iodine other than iodized table salt

I found that line quite interesting. The wording seems to imply that someone is going to read this tablet to Ea-nasir, and possibly that someone wrote the tablet on behalf of Nanni. In an age before near-universal literacy (i.e. most of human history), that makes sense: Ea-nasir would have summoned someone to read out the tablet. Given Ea-nasir's position as a presumably well-off trader, he may have simply had a scribe on-staff to handle his correspondence--an early instance of the modern PR hack?

So does Phillips, when they remotely nuked 3rd party light bulbs. The 3rd parties used their specs that were available. But that didn't matter. Something something profit. (They too reversed their decision after a few days of really bad press. I'm just waiting for them to reverse it again, with less internet fanfare.)

My bigger question here is of "reasonable sale" and CFAA. How are these NOT violations of the CFAA? Cause I can think of no customer who bought the Phillips Hue sets who wanted the "feature" of 'nuke 3rd party bulbs'.

And yeah, it's only time when Phillips, Logitech, and the rest of IoT crap gets remote-nuked. Give me MQTT/CoAP/AMQP or you can keep your shit!

(And yeah, this topic, like my name, makes me CRANKY. My hardware is mine, and I expect that the vendor I buy stuff from doesn't vandalize or destroy functionality now or in the future. That's vandalism, computer hacking, and/or fraudulent transaction. Take your pick.)

UPDATE: I didn't mention what I'd like as a way forward. Sure, I'm OK with updates as long as they FIX problems, and potentially add features. My ideal setup is: supports basic MQTT/CoAP/AMQP with local server, along with their proprietary cloud control. If cloud control bails, you might lose add-on value but you can re-implement yourself. The devices don't end up dead, just temporarily reduced. You might have to buy a VPS, or poke a hole in your firewall and do the dyndns song and dance..

My immediate concern with the unhosted model diagram on the page is how do you make sure the data hasn't been tempered with? The web application needs to see it but now the added problem of not knowing if it's legit because the data source is the end user.

Another side idea that comes with this is something like IPFS or even torrent, where bits of the file storage are stored on individual nodes but incapable of meaningful data unless put together with other bits of data from other nodes.

I admit I'm not even sure how bittorrent make sures the other "bits" are valid, would love to know if there is some p2p-storage.js you could drop on your webpage
Because the law does not work that way. Japan values property in yen, and the law states that you must be paid back the value of what you lost at the time you lost it.

This is true in most countries -- in the United States, if the state for any reason seizes your coins without legal reason, and has time to auction them off before you can prove they had no legal reason to take them, you will be paid back in dollar for the value of the coins on the day they were taken. The state does not owe you the potential increase in value between that day and today.

Where it gets interesting is what would happen if the reverse was true. Let's say your coin gets taken without legal reason in an illegal search today, with the price at $100. Two weeks from now, they get auctioned off after the price collapsed to $80. Four months from now, when your lawyer proves to the court that your coins were legally acquired and there was no basis to the seizure, the price is at $1. What does the government owe you?

As a side note, if anyone's interested in looking a bit more into "programming as magic" there's a great book series called The Wizardry series about programmers being transported into a fantasy realm where magic works similarly to a programming language.

Sounds a lot like the "Magic 2.0" series by Scott Meyer.

https://www.goodreads.com/series/131379-magic-2-0

In that world, "magic" is very much a direct result of programming. I've read the first two books in the series and enjoyed them a lot. For anybody whose into that sor of thing, I recommend this series highly.
To understand why they have such a large valuation you need to understand that:

1. This is massive with the tween/teen market. That is why not many people understand its popularity; you either need to know a tween, or have one as a kid.

2. Musical.ly became Vine after Vine shutdown. The content moved from lip-synced videos to more of a mixure of vine-like videos and lip sync.

3. They currently have 60M monthly users, and as of now Musical.ly is still #58 on the App Store (they have been in the top charts for the past 2 years at least). Its hard to say people aren't using it when its above some large companies on the charts (Linkedin, Shazam, Dropbox).

4. Their influencer network is huge as well. Nearly every popular musical.ly star has some sort of swag from the company. Think about that in the tween's mind: you're just a normal kid going to your normal middle school with your normal friends, then a national company wants YOU to be a spokesman for the company. That is quite literally getting famous for these kids. At popular industry conferences like Vidcon, they literally are celebrities.
This begs the question: if I go bankrupt, can I take whatever remaining funds I have to Vegas and gamble it until I come out ahead or lose it all?

I think the point is any profession that can wield unusual control over other things (or people) can be described in this way.

Hi Craig,

This looks very interesting. You might be the right person to ask about something related that I am currently working on: do you know of any app that would extract keyword / name based parts of audio? For example, extract only the parts where Elon Musk speaks given audio input (podcast, YouTube etc.)? Alternatively, extract only the parts (-30 and +30 seconds) when a specific word is mentioned.

Thanks!
you should speak at campuses, people need to hear this message
It would have to be $100 as well. I think that is how it works already.
Thanks! The recent history is populated by automated status changes (i.e. outages and degradations) and manually created issues. Status changes are automated via watchdogs, which support a variety of integrations, including our own built-in monitoring solution that provides both the statuses and metrics you see here. For an example, take a look at https://status.sherlock.stanford.edu.
The service node's OS itself is/can-be stateless, but you still need to either laboriously copy the /install data every boot or else mount it in the running image somehow. So it's easy to provision them but you still need some stable data storage for them. The "stateless" xcat stuff is mostly aimed at compute-side operations where everything has a shared filesystem anyway.

I'm familiar with rocks, but I've never seen a warewulf cluster in the wild -- are you still using it?
>This is not particularly innovative ground, and to write a whole blog post without even mentioning the fact or doing a comparison with any of the existing devices implies that maybe the author didn't do enough research.

The blog context is made clear in the second sentence "With the release of the iPhone X, I set out to see if I could observe these heterogeneous cores in action.". If the context was "Here is the current state of heterogeneous computing on mobile devices", you might have a point.

As to whether its innovative or not, Surely, you agree that designing a chip is more than just the bumper sticker definition of "it has cores with different speeds". But maybe you're right and it isn't innovative at all. It would be interesting to find out.

>This is not particularly innovative ground, and to write a whole blog post without even mentioning the fact or doing a comparison with any of the existing devices implies that maybe the author didn't do enough research.

I don't think it implies that at all. If a C++ dev is excited about a new C++ feature and writes an article, it doesn't mean they're automatically ignorant about other languages that already have this feature.

> I really wonder if non-programmers think the same or is it just like any other profession they're not knowledgeable of?

There is a large difference between competence and ignorance. They're qualitatively different, and different in each field.

e.g. programmers do magic things like read the error messages on the screen. Non-programmers not only don't do that, they can't comprehend why it's necessary. (Without exaggerating too much)

The same applies for mechanics, carpenters, etc. I've seen good people work, and they do things that I just don't get. I'm not sure any amount of training will result in the same intuitive understanding.

It's why I went into programming, and not anything else...

Unpopular but true comment warning:

It's kind of alarming how easily you can throw Osama Bin Ladin (a guy who killed thousands of innocent Americans), with Richard Spencer who _says_ fucked up things. Richard Spencer (just like the Westboro Baptist Church) is probably a complete douchebag nutjob. But to so casually equate saying douchey things with the murder of thousands... that's exactly what leads to Officer Friendly getting more powers over every day, innocent citizens.

Look at Russia and China. They're literally doing what you're suggesting by using thought crimes to justify massive surveillance and censorship of every forum and network to "protect society" from bad thoughts and damaging their "way of life".

The very rights that allowed the civil rights movement to exist, are the ones you guys are casually trying to destroy. Daring to have an opinion the majority finds revolting. Freedom of Speech is literally a protection of minorities from the majority. Those in power don't need protection.

Could HN let comments be tagged, let users confirm tags and viewers filter (to either hide or deemphasize) comments by tags and personalized confirmation thresholds?

That would enable users to remove the junk on their own and would be more scalable than a moderation team as well as making HN comments an interesting ML dataset.
I think the reason for this level of abstraction isn't just due to the difficulty in understanding what we do, but rather the _intangibility_ of what we do.
When we talk about magic, we describe a system that is intangible to the uncultured. While everyone is capable of seeing the result, the non-magically adept are incapable of seeing the 'systems' that magic is based on (ie the "flow of mana" or the "rewriting of logic"). The same can be said about programming. Everyone is able to use the products and results we put out, but to understand the "process" is something else entirely.

When an engineer makes something, they are making a _physical_ object by essentially designing and putting _physical_ parts together. Obviously, there's a LOT of math, simulations and design principles that they do as well, but the layman doesn't need to know that - they just see someone who creates parts to build bigger things. A doctor uses his tools and knowledge to _physically_ manipulate the body and fixes physical problems in the body. No layman will ever perform a heart transplant, but they can understand the concept of taking another heart, moving it and connecting the blood vessels and nerve. What does a programmer do? We put together a line of text that somehow represent electricity that is somehow filtered through microscopic parts, resulting in a machine capable of emulating human speech? What?

And now we're getting into quantum computing and cryptocurrency - things that require a massive wealth of knowledge across many fields to fully grasp, and also neural networks and machine learning - things that programmers understand the intended behavior of, but is impossible to perfectly understand their oftentimes random-seeming behavior. It's not a stretch to say that we're reaching a point in time where technology has essentially become like magic.

Yes, I get what you are saying but BTC - as a currency - will require a lot of investment 'in' BTC for transactional purposes, accounting etc..

BTC is already waning as a currency - fewer vendors using it.

As a 'store of value' it's really too volatile - there are just too many other, better options.

Applying Clean Architecture to Ruby on Rails: First Impressions
It's hard to ignore how handy it is when someone else holds your money. When my bank holds my money I can send it to anywhere from any place. Using a crypto wallet I now have this file I have to somehow keep safe and with me at all times. What happens when or if it gets stolen? Like cash it's gone.

So I understand why people do it. Ease of use typically outshines most security issues. Someone needs to figure out how to strike a better balance.
Wonderful pun : "seizes".

OK, but the idea is the same. You could have the big corporation pay the employed person X and the car insurance company Y. Or you could have the big company pay the self-employed person X+Y, and self-employed person pays the car insurance company Y.

If the big company is not willing to pay X+Y to the self-employed guy, they won't be willing to spend X+Y on an employee.

The only difference is if the big company can get better rates on the relevant goods than a self-employed guy.

From an unofficial (and somewhat grammatically atrocious) English translation of the original novel [0]:

> Normally, Eru would have given up at this stage and would have chosen a more practical spell. But he knew how to solve the problem because of his unique skills ― programming concept. He had experience in designing and coding software to handle multiple variables. That's why he skipped the beginner magic phase and jumped straight into the 'modified magic' phase. Reviewing the structure of the physical boost script, Eru compressed the structure to minimise the number of variables, creating subscripts that would automatically extract the status of the body. After compiling it, he just needed to design the user interface to make it easier to control, so as to lessen the burden.

> Complicated projects like the improvement of scripts was not something that could be done easily by anyone. Eru, however, was not aware of this, completing the improvement shortly, and the patch was a big enhancement. But even so, it was still difficult to control magic that strained the mind heavily. But with his extraordinary processing ability, it was not much. No one realised that a historical revolution had occurred, but for Eru, this was just a small step in his journey.
