It's funny that you say "bring [it] into the modern era" when countries have been asking citizens to not use weapons for centuries.

You could argue that a 'modern' reimagining would disarm all citizens...except that this would leave us 1) without a militia and 2) with only a military...directly commanded by the President.

If you want to reduce the number of deaths per year, there are better ways to do it. I highly recommend providing a means of getting mental health care to people who need it--except that many people who like being able to have a weapon on hand for self-defense won't want to go, as they fear their ability to defend themselves will be taken away if they are declared to be of unsound mind. The paranoid will refuse because it'll seem like a conspiracy to disarm them, and the sane will refuse because they'd rather not give up the ability to wield a weapon, particularly against a regime that already mirrors the Nazis in uncomfortable ways.
It's a useless ad hominem.

The Nazi connection is interesting and there do seem to be echoes of that moment in the past in our current situation.

I'm anti-BTC. The energy consumption is increasing on a linear curve at best. And we're at a point in our history where we need to reduce our atmospheric carbon drastically... BTC is only increasing it based on the speculation of a very small portion of Earth's population and provides little value to us in any meaningful way.

Also I'm not a free-market libertarian so there's that.
Correct, you just have the key (well a card) in your pocket/wallet and walk up to the car, which unlocks, you can then get in and press 'start'..

So if you leave your keys in a bowl by the door, they can just extend the range of the key with a relay/booster.

The car will only stop when you turn it off.

Voluntarily giving some cash to a school endowment is not getting "bilked".
Agreed. There's no other valid use case. For anything lawful, there's cheaper, more convenient, more stable alternatives and at the end of the day governments demand people pay taxes in their official currencies. If you want to have a house in the US, you need to pay USD to the government. The total land value of the US is conservatively in the tens of trillions, and the total amount of taxation in general, when adding up all the levels of government, is about 40% of GDP. You can talk all day about network effects, but guess which currency is going to get them... the one with trillions in compulsory demand, or the one that does not?

I know that a button on the keyfob would work, but this attack could also be prevented with clock syncing, as the re-transmission of the signal will certainly take time. A simple timed ping (with cryptographicly signed time-stamps to prevent replay) would sort this out.
A more recent example would be the Beanie Baby craze of the 1990s. People were paying ~$5000 in some cases for stuffed toys, just based on rarity and speculative value. According to the article below, it was estimated that 64% of American households had at least one.

What happened in the end? The value crashed, of course, and a lot of people lost all their money.

It's actually far easier to pirate media now. No need to setup a torrent client at all. Simply browse to one of the hundreds of free streaming sites and download over http directly in your browser.

The worst thing about reimplementing native controls (and what everyone misses) is that those native controls don't go away. Instead, their behavior becomes undefined as the system grows around the reimplementation.
It might be. But is it relevant? If they ripped off an entire tv show yes. But, again, im pretty sure they outsource designwork like this.
This was annoying to me when I had an older phone with less available memory. Many of the system apps were useless to me and just served to take up space. The system partition had to take up enough space to accommodate these apps whether I used them or not which resulted in less available space for what I did use. Pretty annoying.
Ah yes, this time it’s different.
Yes, if you park your car outside your house on the drive, and the key is in the house in a bowl by the door (for example) then they can steal the car in the middle of the night..

This is worse in the UK, as we have much less space, so things are much closer togeather (ie. the car, and the keys (where they are left overnight).
It is much easier and less expensive to pay a developer to keep writing those workarounds than to recertify all of the internal applications to a modern version of IE. Furthermore there is a significant time cost to the testing and deployment of a new browser to all machines. These two times and costs are often several times if not an order of magnitude or more the developer cost.
> "The university plans to add $4.5 million to its financial aid budget each year to cover its 6,500 undergraduates."

~$700 per student.

> "In 2016, the average Brown student graduated with a debt of $23,810, compared with $8,908 for Princeton, which adopted the no-loans policy in 2001."

The increased financial aid may not even cover the annual increases in student debt. This change only covers a fraction of Brown student loans.
Meetup for me is 2 things. Professional development (programming groups) and social events (for me board gaming, science talks, and history walks). Its a way of learning things and meeting people you might not normally.

I think interest has been declining a bit, more "flakes" (sign up don't show) . The photo meets-ups I used to go to have shuttered, some of the programming ones are meeting more infrequently. The Social and board game meets-ups seem to be going ok. My partner is an organizer of a social group just pays the yearly fee to keep the group free.

Though in the past 10 years honestly participation ebs and flows. One organizer of "nerd fun boston" ran an event a couple events a week for a couple of years. He got a good group of regulars going to science lectures and history talks/walks around boston (he met his wife though the group). That group still hangs out occasionally, though more "virtually" through a Facebook group now, meet up doesn't do the social network as well I guess...

The site update recently looks nice, but seems not to have made it more functional.

I encourage people to go to meets-ups. Its nice to meet new people and get out of your social bubble. We meet mostly really nice people people going to these events.

You're applying logic to a software issue at BigCorp, that assumption is, sadly, wrong.

We addressed that: both jurisprudence (Grokster) and global copyright laws establish a doctrine of "secondary liability" for incitement to copyright infringement. This right would be enforceable against technology firms if they produced such a technology. The fact that DRM advocates still wouldn't promise not to sue when no law was broken confirms that they weren't interested in DRM's power to curtail illegal activity.

(Secondarily, the companies that advocated for DRM never questioned how someone operating under the non-aggression pact would be able to break the DRM; they tacitly acknowledged that this would be trivial -- so whether or not you're worried about secondary infringers like the ones you describe, they would exist, because things that are technologically trivial are impossible to stop, even if they're illegal -- all that EME would do is give these companies the power to stop people who WEREN'T using such tools for infringement and thus wanted to operate in the open; it would have no effect on people who WERE infringing and operating anonymously and in the shadows)
I don't want to sound condescending, and if I do I apologise, but anyone who has any familiarity with financial markets knows that the industrial applications of gold account for a negligible percentage of its price.

This is meaningless; you can substitute any other ideology you dislike (socialism, conservatism, anarchism, liberalism, whatever) and it makes just as much sense.

Bitcoin broke $10000
If many people don't think that the way how ponzi and bitcoin increase in price/value[1] are very similar, they are flat out wrong.

Of course, there are also differences. With ponzi people typically are deceived to think there is some other value proposal, bitcoin is quite open that there is none.

You may want to evaluate the difference in ponzi/bitcoin value creation against selected other asset classes:

- Company stock. A company can increase profitability and pay out dividends. (Of course, a stock can turn out in a bubble).

- A bond or other tradable debt instrument. This will appreciate in values as time passes and interest accrues to the creditor.

- Real estate. You can rent the real estate out or enjoy the value a real estate generates yourself.

You see, the ponzi/bitcoin really is distinct from the others in the value creation model?

[1] only source for increasing value would be finding more and more people that are willing to pay more and more of the right to hold the asset.

I've implemented something like this, in another discussion system. I added a comment about that, here on this page: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15798037

- Like = I agree / useful / insightful

- Disagree — does not affect post sort order or karma

- Bury — for moving "Thanks!" and "Me too" comments downwards, without having to delete or downvote them)

- Unwanted — if you don't want that type of comment, at the site. Reduces the commenter's karma, moves the post downwards. This is the only vote HN has right now.

And if they aren't the miners will just fork Bitcoin to a version without the coin limit. The real question is what future do the miner's choose? I see three options:

1) The new Bitcoin supply is tightly managed and the miners maintain the current deflationary pressure, ensuring a continued rise in Bitcoin's value.

2) The new Bitcoin is tightly managed, but with the aim of some modest amount of inflation akin to what most central banks aim for. In this model, transaction fees dominate mining profits since Bitcoin's value will stabilize or drop.

3) The new Bitcoin goes into hyper-inflation Weimar Republic-style, eventually becoming worthless.

I think it will be number 3. There is too much money to be made by attempting to time the inflationary spiral, and miners essentially acting as Bitcoin's central bank are in a perfect place to take advantage of it.

Prepared statements in SQL libraries are standard almost everywhere and have been for a long time.
Apparently not. Care to enlighten me? Because seriously, .1% of global electricity consumption, if that number is accurate, is expensive. Are we going to go up from there, or down, and how does it relate to a long-term stable bitcoin exchange rate, relative to mainstream reserve currencies?

If we're in a speculative bubble (we are), it justifies the mining. But bitcoin will never, ever be a viable global currency if it's deflating 500% a year, like it is right now. Mainstream reserve currencies are designed and carefully regulated to inflate at 1-4% or so, slowly losing value - inflation encourages investment, because sitting on cash hurts. What could someone invest their bitcoins in that could justify giving up the possibility of a 500% annual return just for the techno-equivalent of stuffing them in a mattress?

Bitcoin mining, apparently.

See where I'm going with this? Investing outrageous sums in bitcoin mining makes sense when it's a massive deflationary bubble. It makes almost no sense at all when it's slowly inflating like a grownup currency does.

"I bought a really kickass camera; all my photos are now copyright" vs "I used my phone's camera; I don't have copyright on all my images" seems like a rather ludicrous difference too. Because things like time are hard to measure and irrelevant ("I waited outside all day for sunset" vs "I lucked out and got there at the perfect time to take it"), and props, when it's literally -one- object, being taken from the most obvious angle, also seems a bizarre thing to consider. Not saying what is or is not the law, and in what jurisdictions, just that it seems weird to consider it anywhere.

Because they still want people that can afford to pay $50k/year to pay it. Lowering tuition lowers it for everyone. If your parents make $300k+/year, then you'll still be paying full tuition. But as their income is lower, currently you'll get some need-based financial aid. The problem is that this aid is a combination of "scholarship" and "loans". The goal here is to remove the loan component.

The problem still is that middle-class families get stuck in a gray zone. I went to Brown, and my parents made enough (~$110k) that I didn't get financial aid but they also couldn't pay $40k/year.

Ask HN: I stumbled upon a new programming paradigm, what should I do next?
Lately I've been obsessed with the idea of code readability.

I tried out different things, and ended up creating a simple transpiler that allows a new way to organize code that greatly improves readability. It's a fairly simple syntax and is by no means revolutionary, but I can't find a programming paradigm that exactly describes what I'm doing, it is imperative programming but it has a feature I've never seen elsewhere that helps readability. I'm thinking there might be a small group of people out there interested in this, possibly some programmers who have done procedural programming.

I'm not sure the best way to introduce this concept and as I haven't received much feedback yet I'm not sure at what stage of maturity this project would be considered to be.

I'm an introvert and I'm not the entrepreneur type, but with all my wife's and son's medical needs and our student loans I'm realizing that it's important that I find a way to bring in additional income. I have a stable low stress job (which is ideal for my situation right now) with good long term benefits.

My question is what is an effective way to go about introducing this concept, getting feedback, and potentially making some money from it? I don't think anyone would pay to use the transpiler as it is a pretty simple concept. I don't have any experience writing a book about the topic. I don't think open source with donation button would really bring in anything, but open source code is expected by most. And it begs the question though, how mature really is this thing? I can write more readable code now (anecdotal of course) but while it might be ideal to have an end game of eventually a complete readable programming language, that's not something I could accomplish alone and my time is limited. Anyways, if there really isn't an income opportunity around doing this I'd like to find out. Is there a way to either make money off this or get more feedback about how valuable this would be?
