Post-script: Is this good news for Bitcoin? ...

That is some backward logic there.

If there was 600 mio. USD of fake money used to trade bitcoin, it would have driven the price of bitcoin up (and the price of USD down).

Now we get that thing in reverse.
GCC does catch problems with printf arguments vs the format string and it has mechanisms for defining functions that take the same format strings. I operate at a high enough warning level that I see this type of warning now and then.

TL;DR: the compiler DOES have that special logic.
The advantages of centralisation. You can fork ... without a fork!
No matter what system you use for server rendered pages most likely you will have to hit a database just to render out the site. These days that's a bad idea when we should be building progressive web apps that can fetch and cache content as needed from services but the entire app can live offline and even cache data in local storage to enable it to have at least limited offline functionality.
Replace "Russian government" with "French government" or "German government". Would you still support this move so strongly?

We've entered some strange twilight zone where countries pushing their interests is somehow considered "wrong".
Did you really mean that? Do you think people who are susceptible to manipulation need to be protected by Google, not for their own good but because they can be manipulated to have political opinions that you personally disagree with? That means you think your political belief is so right that competing ideas should be suppressed. That's the complete opposite of freedom of speech that America is one of the world leaders in. Do you think the way China's government limits the spread of political ideas is good too?

Uh...

> Each month we will present competing architectures to help show how Google's developer products can be combined to solve challenging problems for your users. Each solution incorporates a wide range of technologies, including Google Cloud, Android, Firebase, and Tensorflow

I think we have different definitions of "veiled", thinly or not.

This is clearly a "development with Google products" video series.
218B + 62B market caps of two massive media conglomerates. The merger is bad news. It's just a recipe for monoculture.
Breitbart has an interesting theory on this:
Present your bias, and admit your publication has a world view, because even NPR has a world view.

Nobody is unbiased, so stop trying to be unbiased, and present how you see it. Then, a real reader will go to multiple "view points" and gather their own opinion.

I suppose if you don't experience it, it can be hard to relate. For me it's something like a buffer underrun. I get bored and frustrated in between words if they come too slowly.

Another analogy might be trying to ride a bike too slowly. It's very difficult not to wobble extremely and fall off. It takes more effort to ride slowly. My mind can't wander with slow speech because it takes great effort and attention to maintain ideas in active memory long enough to make it through sentences. I am better able to have branching thoughts while keeping up with the thread of speech when the speech is faster.

I frequently drive with audiobooks on and it is usually not possible for me to follow along without a speed boost of at least about 25% or so.
HOW TO BE COME A HACKER?
So Breitbart, Fox and all their chums should be deranked too.
It is odd. Web sites load noticeably faster, but web _apps_ take longer to load than Chrome. Only tested on Google SPAs so far, though, so it may be a lack of optimization.

Can people be manipulated, or tricked to do things that they would, when sound of mind, otherwise choose not to do?

Let's just assume you answer "yes" (because to answer "no" would be unimaginably absurd)... lets also imagine that billions of dollars are up for grabs to the people/companies who can manipulate/trick sound of mind people better than anyone else... What would that world look like?

Well, we're living in it.
In India every tradition has its own temples. Most are open to all and some are open for their devotees. It's quite easy to find many temples within a few kilometer radius.

Each temple have their own tradition and they have the right to their own tradition. Now, allowing a non-devotee into the temple is their business. But that doesn't mean, one cannot find any temple anywhere.
Just about any news source has a viewpoint that can be found by connecting the dots, in Western sources, that might be termed "editorial policy".

So basically we're seeing that all the powerful states seem to be moving towards not just producing their own propaganda but demanding outside propaganda be filtered out - China is far much more aggressive of course and thankfully for me, the US is merely exerting a "light touch".

I assume this level of censorship is more or less happening proportionate to the degree the various ruling forces feel threatened.
Yes. If nothing else, it removes their political capital. Politicians are weighing which unpopular things they can do while still maintaining their donor base.

Make this cost them. Even if they vote for it. Even if they've supported it all along.

> If you are a professional then, it takes a single day to find that Wikipedia is ruled by brats and its not your place.

It sounds like that professional tried to use Wikipedia as his free PR soapbox and found it hard to post propaganda when his submissions are under scrutiny.

I've seen that before, with a PR guy trying to create a wikipedia article to sell the event he was organizing and link to it from other sources. Oddly enough, he also criticized wikipedia's editors for being childish and irrational. Meanwhile, he failed to notice the irony or even the fact that he was directly going against wikipedia's spam rules.
You might want to rethink "taking money out of politics" === "less corrupt government". We should have more freedom politically, not less. Food for thought: https://youtu.be/c5-4jW5dLSI
There are more than four states of matter, but it’s true only the classical four would have been observable to a medieval person, so that is an interesting parallel.

As it should be.

That's how false positives get filtered out, even at the risk of losing some minor true positives in the process.

If your contributions are solid then they are kept in. If they are not then keep it in your blog.
I don't think it's a disorder or a bad habit. People process information at different speeds, if you're out of your comfort zone, that processing will be inefficient.

You do not have to be a fan of Hillary Clinton to think that "audiences [can] not be trusted to distinguish fake and real news for themselves" based on the "experience of 'the last year'". The mention of her name in literally the same sentence where they implicitly question the validity of the "fake news" narrative could not be more transparently calculated.

So yes, you are right that RT is propaganda, but in that light I'm not sure how to take your first two sentences. The word "irony" comes to mind.
I hate how everyone on hn and reddit just accepts "nn is good" unconditionally.Beleive it or not, if it were such an open-and-shut case, it would not be an issue. You don't see anybody trying to legalize murder, do you?

So at the risk of repeating myself, I want to know what is the problem with the current internet that nn will solve, and why do you consider it to be such a world-ending issue, above things like "hundreds of people being regularly murdered by some random gun-toting lunatic".

I present to you my arguments why nn is bad, just as a thought exercise.

1. The company that builds and operates the network has a right to charge for it as it sees fit.

2. If competition is limited in the ISP space, that is due to over-regulation like granting monopolies. Instead of piling on more regulation, we should solve the root cause and do things that promote more competition. NN doesn't do that in the least.

3. Internet infrastructure is expensive to build and operate, especially wireless networks. And bandwidth and capacity is not unlimited. If Verizon thinks they can provide a better service by limiting 4k streaming over LTE, let them. If you don't like it, switch to an operator who provides a better service for you.

I would prefer to see arguments for NN, not responses to my arguments. My arguments may be poorly thought out, but my main point is we need solid discussion on this topic and I have only seen vague bullshit till now.
Most "cryptocurrency evangelists" as you say stayed as far away as they could from USDT and are rather supportive of Bitfinexed's arguments against tether.
I agree with you on some level, but tech has no small part to play in this phenomenon. It's not just the presence of the technology itself, it's the technology's essential design and purpose. The article's thesis, as I see it, opposes your point head-on:

> That kind of rhetoric implicitly grants the idea that it’s okay for technology to be adversarial against us. The whole point of technology is to help us do what we want to do better. Why else would we have it? ... I don’t think personal responsibility is unimportant. I think it’s untenable as a solution to this problem ... It’s not realistic to say you need to have more willpower. That’s the very thing being undermined!

How can you guaranteee the objectivity of a private, for-profit, media agency? If a company like Monsanto wanted to bury a story, I’m sure they wouldn’t have any issues knowing the right people in CNN and Fox to take out for dinner.
If "more freedom" == "those who have more money are buying politicians", it doesn't sound like more freedom at all, no?

See how well it works in the context of monopolistic ISPs which basically pay off state legislatures to write laws that ban competition. Who in their right mind would write such awful laws? Only totally clueless or corrupted puppets.
Then you should withdraw the article until you get real numbers. This utterly misleading data (as of now) is going to be picked up by search engines and other blogs.

What is a natively compiled non-GC lang. for Android?
I've been searching for a language to implement a game I had in mind. The problem with java on android: When GC runs, I get a weird world-stopping delay. The game requires continuous interaction with the touch screen, so users could be dismayed by these random stutters that happen every 20-30s. (I've checked with a memory profiler, I don't have any object allocations within tight loops, so I blame java for that randomness.)

The problem with C++: I love it. Especially after what they did with C++11. And with C++14 we even have polymorphic lambdas. Coding in C++ can be elegant provided that I've coded enough abstractions over the data structures and algorithms I need. That's why I won't touch C++. This project will never finish.

The problem with Free Pascal: Having worked with Delphi some of my professional life, I gave free pascal+LazSDL2 a go. Turns out it works great on android. (no world stopping delays). But it isn't the most elegant language. I know, because I'm a ruby person.

Go, Crystal, Nim, I fear their garbage collection schemes will end up doing the same thing as android's Java implementation.

I'm just one person, don't have the time to evaluate the whole world. Does HN have a suggestion?
Exactly, I wonder why one wouldn't transition to a modern ventilator. I wonder what the driving factors for staying with the Iron Lung are.
There is 600 M USD that has been taken out of Bitcoin into USDT, which given the current situation will now try and convert back to Bitcoin driving the price up.

> I suspect that the number of jobs for “programmers” in general will only continue to grow.

This reminds me of when telephones were becoming so popular that, "At this rate everyone would have to be a switchboard operator!" Then the dial phone was invented.

As such, we will want and have more, end-user-programmable abilities. Think of the advance VisiCalc was, or IFTTT, and many more to come I'm sure. From the other side is research in non-standard programming environments which is very exciting (but I'm not holding my breath). Also, applying AI recipes to different business areas doesn't actually require a lot of classical programming knowledge, it's much more data-oriented plumbing work.
The article makes it clear that positive pressure ventilators can cause problems, but I found this:

https://amp.reddit.com/r/explainlikeimfive/comments/3hiwb9/e...

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medical_ventilator

Also, it is Warms Springs, GA, not Warm Spring.

Edit: I don't have experience with ventilators, but have used a nebulizer and a positive pressure lung clearance device. One of the problems is that they need to be sterilized and if they start growing stuff, you are basically injecting infectious material directly into the lungs for someone who already gets lung infections easily. This is a potentially deadly situation.
...except that Tether long predates Bitfinex's wire issues. They're usable on many of the major exchanges (Bittrex, Poloniex, for example). Tether was explicitly created for the purpose of equalizing prices across exchanges. It's indeed possible that they're insolvent, but there is no real evidence of that, just lots of people speculating incessantly without much justification.

Basically everything about the parent comment is factually incorrect. I'm not sure why it's so upvoted. I guess people just like scandal in the cryptocurrency world and would prefer to believe what comports with their preconceptions.

When in the last 20 years have the U.S. media treated politicians with kid gloves? I've been reading about sex scandals and unduly harsh accusations of "hating women," "being secretly Muslim," "dumbest president" (Bush Jr.), etc.
Not very, I do it all day. As with anything its all about justifying the time and cost. If I were to do such a thing I would rather put the weeks or months of effort toward designing a new, better device with the benefit of what we know now, not copying what came before.
I'm wondering, isn't it the same as placebo effect? In that it's not a change that occurs from taking a medication. It's a change that is the result of mental state change. Both can produce a physical change, as studies have shown (no link, sorry). But one is entirely the result of mental processes, though those mental processes were not induced by a placebo pill. So it's basically the same as the placebo effect, isn't it?

THIS IS BANANAS: Seattle man files suit against Amazon for potassium poisoning [pdf]
I released a paper earlier this year talking about how we can reasonably lock cryptocurrency to fiat, but unfortunately the space is still rather immature. A single provider of USD tokens is extremely dangerous. Best case scenario would be if there were many companies like Tether and you could spread your token purchases between them automatically to minimize counterparty risk. Stellar and Ripple are closest to solving this since they have fiat trading pairs for each trusted exchange on their network. In the future that could mean issuance from hundreds of banks.

Here is the paper if anyone is interested:

Can you explain how this would be "good for Bitcoin" though?

Didn't the price crash after the extreme rise? Or was this because the BTC was stolen and unrelated to the USD insolvency? Was the "good for BTC" tongue in cheek?
> $0 is the winning price.

The weird (and pleasant) thing here is that the $0 price is backed not by a shady business, but by a non-profit [1] that hires a stellar team of TLS/DNS/Internet experts that does most of its job openly and in a replicable way.

That quote is misleading. He's talking about perceived price. The actual price of an equity is the price at which the execution occurs. And for every execution there are two sides, hence the zero sum game is the only game in town.

> Bitfinex has an order book filled with something people want. A way to get access to that orderbook is to say "Bitfinex, I want some tether, how do you sell them to me if you can't accept a wire?" Bitfinex might say "Are you a trustworthy US VC? Spiffy. Move $20 million from your left hand pocket to your right hand pocket. The right hand pocket is now ours; here's $20 to $21 million in Tether, which are good for BTC at your favorite exchanges. At some time in the future, a trustworthy US VC other than yourself is going to ask you to buy some tether from them at par value. You will do that, and pay them from your right pocket. If a regulator asks you about this transaction, you bat your eyes and say 'Oh, sophisticated investors doing a cryptocurrency transaction, nothing to see here.'"

I feel like I'm missing something here -- doesn't the first VC end up with more in tether than the right-pocket money?
Mirroring Certificate Authorities seems to create more potential security holes...
There is artistic silence where thoughtful purpose is put to the distance between things, there is autonomous silence where you get to take the opportunity to make space between things, then there's silence that is forced on you.

Some silence just is not enriching. I would rather spend an hour in a forest than waiting at the DMV. I would rather enjoy a cup of coffee than wait 10 minutes for a colleague to arrive on time to a meeting.

There are some things that are worth experiencing in their fullest, and there are some things that are only worth experiencing by skimming through.

Like some books are worth deep study, reading, rereading, analyzing, digging, and getting every ounce of value from them. Others give all they have in a rush.
Or we could just create a globally shared auditable ledger on which we could record transactions and balances... The bigger point here is that Tether and the issues here are not crypto problems but rather traditional money problems. When enough people just accept crypto like BTC or ETH the need for Tether, as well as USD goes away. We are just now in a transition period.
The idea is nice. For feedback I'd say the domain name and the design of the site both don't feel secure, so I would have a tough time wanting to use the service. Things that would make it seem more serious / secure:

- Use .com domain

- Better site design

- Paid tiers with free trial

- Intercom or equivalent for support
Do you not see that inability to redeem for Dollars (AND the fact that most people aren't doing this but rather pumping these so-called-$-backed-tokens into other cryptos) could potentially be catastrophic if they were created without organic investment? They would literally be fake money priced at $1 buying $1 of BTC.

It is the definition of inflation: increased money supply. Except it's priced in $, which hasn't actually inflated. So if the bubble pops and the money is found to be fraudulent, then it equates to money supply shrinking. Artificial demand removed..

Either way, you agree his time in Baghdad with the Nestorians came earlier, and they were far more involved in writing about Aristotle than any Byzantine known today. Maybe he did seek Greek versions of his work in Constantinople, those works were not influential in the Byzantine Empire.

I don't see how any of this is overly relevant to the discussion.
They're not charging per GB of S3 or whatever. It's likely a fixed(ish) priced contract that basically covers their cost of building a complete region. So the pricing doesn't really compare.

Basically, AWS is all public cloud, none of this private cloud nonsense... until you come along with a $600MM check and then you can have a private region all to yourself!
