Whereas I agree with you in principle, let's not normalize Trump by calling him a "major party nominee" as if that abdicates us of our responsibility to push back against dangerous political identities. We can point to many a "major party nominee" in history that people supported who also shouldn't be normalized...

I think pwa can replace many election app, MS thinks so too they are allowing them in the app store.
I looked at what it would take to upgrade our Angular 1.5 to 1.6: weeks worth of trying to untangle dependency hell and testing. For a minor version number upgrade. Let's not pretend it's only the consumers of these libraries that are lagging. A lot of these libraries are maintained by teams who have no business maintaining software, open source or not. They can release all the security patches they want, it won't make a difference if their new version isn't backwards compatible (obviously Angular is egregious and by far the worst I know of where even their minor version numbers have huge incompatibilities, not to mention 3 major version releases in 11 months).

India will have a larger population than China (http://statisticstimes.com/population/china-vs-india-populat...) so it should end up on top.
I think the mono-conversation group is present on HN, but I feel like it's balanced out by a pretty substantial group of people who have made a conscious decision to live somewhere other than SF or NYC because they don't agree with the culture.

Every once and a while I see a comment deriding the ability of people who live outside of silicon valley to make a meaningful impact on the world, and it is heavily downvoted without fail.

I think that's a good thing personally, because HN would suck if it was merely a SV echo chamber.
You can come up with whatever arguments to backup and support your decision.

It’s ok to say I don’t know I just feel like making a change.

Most arguments mentioned aren’t new and existed for the longest time.
If it the jerk state is the result of a chemical/biological problem in the brain then yes.
Some topics are a guaranteed Groundhog day with the same arguments over and over again, for example:

- free market vs. regulations
- Bay Area housing issues
- Google's evilness, ad-based Internet economy
- Facebook's evilness, benefits of deleting one's account
- Apple's design decisions
- is Bitcoin a bubble or not
- holy wars between programming language camps
- any kind of US politics
- diversity in tech

I've learned some interesting perspectives from these discussions but they are mono-conversations that I try to avoid nowadays.

You are both thinking of other sweeteners, like sucralose (Splenda).

Erythritol is actually 70% as sweet as sugar. So you actually need to supplement it with something else to match sugar.
I had "except in cases where the user can plausibly predict the change" originally in my comment before deleting it for being verbose. Yes, of course this UI guideline is not a hardware rule. (Also, in the case of typing it's actually not an issue. The visual of the button is revealed but yo could never click the bubbles so the functionality of the button didn't change. A better example is a moving target in a video game.)

"The Diary of St. Faustina" - it's the diary of a nun from the 1930s who had regular visions of Jesus for many years, which the Catholic Church has approved. As a Christian it's been difficult sometimes to interpret the gospels or to understand how to put virtues into action or even how to pray, and this book has given me plenty of concrete examples of all these.
>it usually comes down to three reasons why I don’t feel like doing the work I should clearly be doing

I've spent a lot of time thinking about this and eventually came to a conclusion: it comes down to one thing. Simply, your brain doesn't feel like doing something because that something can't compete with a source of easily attainable dopamine. Brain candy. It comes in different forms: actual candy (simple carbs), visual candy (facebook, instagram), intellectual candy (HN). Turn off that source or at least make it bland and black and white (eg. you can make your phone's screen B&W) and your brain will find actual work exciting (ie. dopamine-inducing) again.

PS. Reading and watching videos about beating procrastination is a form of candy, too. Stop it.

The most popular genes in the human genome
Over the past decades, phone usage has surged while deaths have fallen or stayed flat (modulo the miniscule uptick that was all over the news). Distracted driving is dangerous, but phones aren't contributing nearly that much (and it's mostly illegal).

Drunk driving is super deadly, but it's already illegal. More importantly, self-driving cars will be vastly more effective at getting drunk drivers out from behind the wheel than all the legistlative in the world.
If US population growth rate over next 100 years was same as in the 20th century then it might stand a chance of regaining the crown of biggest economy (and strongest military). But that seems unlikely due to widespread anti-immigration sentiment in the US.

Suggestion: Add a 'converter' feature, maybe as a simple JS popup/overlay, so users can type in an arbitrary amount of specified coins/USD and convert between them. A lot of friends who have a few coins not in online wallets only use converter sites since they can type their holding in and not have to pull up a calculator.

Thanks, keep up the good work!
Trump has been unique here. Thinking back to 2012, I don't think anyone really cared that much when a significant minority of VCs lined up to support Mitt Romney.

Like, did anyone freak out about Marc Andreessen supporting Romney or any of Trump's primary opponents? Nope. Actually I take that back: lots of people on the right got real angry when he supported Hillary Clinton after it became clear Trump had cinched the nomination.

> Sometimes we're so focused on being right, or what we believe is right, that we can't open ourselves up to other thoughts or arguments.

You just, in the preceding sentence even, assumed that the version of the story fitting your own narrative was correct. So I have a slightly hard time believing your message.
I avoid asking people where they work or what they do for as long as possible, and instead try to focus on interests and hobbies.

I've heard too many conversations in S.F. that follow a kind of judgement ritual. If you work for a startup in a popular field (e.g. A.I.), or a major tech company, then you pass. Anything else and the conversation just stalls.
Close, but the emergent superintelligence is no less than capital itself, "[invading] from the future [in order to] assemble itself entirely from the enemy’s resources."

Creating bitcoins is merely a subgoal, developed as a means to propagate more freely between regions controlled by hostile agents.
That's a very good point, people like to paint the hyper-mobility of transference of crypto-currencies as superior to precious metals. But for most people seeking a "store of value" they are more interested in having that value sit somewhere safe and undisturbed.

And from this point of view the propensity for a crypto-currency to suddenly vanish if every 'i' is not dotted and every 't' not carefully crossed, is rightly seen as a liability for the 'store of value' game.

Also interesting to consider is the kind of security precaution spread that exists between between various value levels in precious metals, vs. crypto-currencies.

For example, consider the difference in security mechanisms employed by someone storing a couple gold coins in a box in their house, vs. Fort Knox.

Whereas your security precautions for storing $10, or $1,000,000 in crypto-currency are not a whole lot different.
Indeed, for the fools that store their bitcoins in a wallet on services like Coinbase. You only need to save your private key in a save place to have the storage for free.
Or turn off notifications just for the Assistant channel, which is most likely where this is coming from.

Looks like most don't think this way. They think that they don't have the 'expertise' in-house for maintaining multisig account. So they will just have to hire an 'expert' custodian to reduce risk.

Without a compositor, when you ask to draw a line, a rectangle, a circle or even a bitmap, it is drawn immediately. Sure, it isn't done in zero time, there is some latency, but that is the case with any graphics system :-).

As for the compositor, it isn't impossible to create a Wayland "compositor" that draws directly on the front buffer either, it is just harder and pointless since Xorg exists :-P.

But yeah, if everyone abandons Xorg (and by everyone i mean Everyone, not just the popular kids) and nobody forks it (which i doubt it'll happen as there are a ton of people who dislike Wayland) and nobody else steps up to do something about it, then yeah, i'll most likely just make my own suckless Wayland compositor. I'd prefer the world to stay sane though so i can continue doing other stuff :-P.

CojnHub 1 is already on the App Store. Both versions have aggregate quotes from 40 exchanges, currency flow info, news, reddit integration and designed to be professional grade from the ground up.
Yes, because the word has its root in Ancient Greek οἶκος (oîkos), which means house.
In most cases the unwieldiness of a ton of gold compared to X number of crypto-coins serves as a superior security mechanism for a 'store of value.'

A ton of gold exists in a single time and space, meaning security measures are highly localized and conveyance to another location requires a non-trivial energy expenditure.

The more or less "pure information" basis of crypto-currencies mean the security mechanisms surrounding them must be "global," they can be potentially accessed unauthorized by someone anywhere on the planet through means of social engineering, exploiting faulty code, or similar. And once accessed the "pure information" can vanish from the reach of the ostensible owner with just a few electrons cycling through a few circuits.

In fact what percentage of the total supply of bitcoin were acquired in just such a manner?
I really appreciate that his/her argument is cogent, compelling, and lacking cynical sarcasm. I hope they are successful.

That said, this is one of the many reasons I have been moving out of the Google ecosystem to paod services.
Yeah, I struggled with Vuetify a bit too. It looks nice, but I think a lot of the props could use more explanation and examples. The guy behind it recently announced that he'll be working on it full-time though, so I think it'll just continue to get better. Vue's super easy though. I've really enjoyed working with it so far.
> Requires an iPhone or Android phone.

Oh my.
I have been looking around for my next phone, most likely android. The thing I've come to realise is that I'm no longer able to buy an Android phone, instead I am buying either a Google phone or Samsung phone. Even the "pure" android experience is really a Google experience.

Since I will be in the market to replace my aging phone sooner rather than later, the phones I've been eyeing are

HTC U11 Unlocked

Essential Phone

OnePlus 5T

Google Pixel 2 (not the XL to avoid screen issues, it's mfg'd by HTC and similar to the HTC U11)

This list is US centric, etc.

I would consider the iPhone 8, but not the X personally.
I also received this notification. I have an S8, not a Pixel.

This is the kind of marketing spam done by crapware apps. Should we also expect this from Google now? I've come across too many nontechnical user's phones with hundreds of spam push notifications to have any patience for this crap.
Although I'm a bit of a biased (dumped btc) hypocrite (made good money from it), bitcoin kinda needs to die. There are vastly superior alternatives that improve on btc in pretty much every way. Bitcoin has got the name though, so people keep buying it.
What is the most effective avenue to voice my concerns?
I have an S8 and also got this notification. Google seems to be spamming anyone with the Photos app. Disappointing.

What indication is there that the current FCC would ever change course, no matter how loudly the constituents complained? Is the only goal of all the current outcry simply awareness?
This reminds me of Kursk, the Russian sub.

Specifically the third-world government fumbling the response to the missing submarine.

Considering the USN had two deadly above-surface collisions recently it is either a miracle or speaks to the professionalism of the submariners in avoiding these deadly accidents. (Unfortunately not in this case)
I appreciate it! Yeah, it's the first thing I've done in Vue, but I enjoyed learning it. Pretty cool framework.

Looking forward to add more!

Would someone outline the pros and cons of the FCC vs FTC overseeing regulation of the internet?
It’s amazing how the FCC can go against the American people when there is such overwhelming support for net neutrality.
I think you mean it's amazing what money can buy.
Sorry I'm not buying into the panic.

Between wide scale TLS deployment and larger swaths of bandwidth available, I'd rather see free market solutions so these regulatory powers can't be abused. Net neutrality only matters if your ISP can decrypt your traffic and there is a limited share of bandwidth available.

Call the FCC. Call your representatives. Make sure they know that you're in their district and that you vote.

When the FCC ran demos of broadband over power, it caused a tremendous amount of radio disturbance. Ham radio operators saw the disturbance on their licensed parts of the spectrum. They feared the FCC was killing Ham radio. So they wrote letters. Lots of letters. The FCC heard them and abandoned the trial of that technology.
I don't know about you, but calling someone a whore falls into slander to me, yeah, the justice favours the riches, not a Brazil exclusive.

But even then, this isn't the point.

The guy lives in Brazil, so USA laws are completely irrelevant, don't know why you brought up this point, but anyway, he commited a crime, defied a court order and hid his assets, besides that, he boasted that on following videos, in one of them he claimed that slander should be legal, his opinion, perfectly valid, I don't agree, but he did that just because HE knows that he commited slander.

The guy is a piece of work, defending him like he is a noble fighting the big and evil hand of the government is a joke that only ancaps don't laugh at.
HN seems very well constructed for being a mono-culture. Every story is only active for a day or so. And a lot of what people know about the issue is going to be from the previous stories. Both when commenting, but especially so when voting. So for every iteration of an issue the most prevailing opinion is going to get more and more established. While it will become more and more work to dissent. At the end you find yourself holding opinions that you don't really know what the came from or if they are even correct, just that other people seem to agree with them.
Before anyone says wouldn't it be great if there was a Linux version, Literature and Latte had one for more than a year. They discontinued it after less than 10 licenses sold.

Perhaps that was because of the separate code base for each platform which meant in the previous versions the UI and feature set varied. L & L claim the Windows and MacOS versions will have the same UI but the fact version 3.x wasn't released for both are once is enough to tell me the code bases have most likely not converged.
I think it was amazing it was the USSC that saved the 'net from overreaching gov reg (communications decency act).
Many people on HN make the jump from "I would not buy that" to "There is not a market for that", but there is, in fact, a market for SaaSifying lots of things.

It's no value judgement if you want to continue using Excel for privacy, compliance, or security reasons. You do you. But SaaS companies get very good at developing privacy, compliance, and security stories, particularly as they move into enterprise. (Below enterprise it's less of a big deal, partially because customers care about them less and partially because small businesses are, as a judgement-free statement of engineering reality, abominably bad at data security.)
The author has some misunderstandings about the actual rules of net neutrality with respect to how traffic shaping works. Actually, I'm not sure if my own understanding is right of traffic shaping.
A lot of Ethereum users are excited for a solid proof of stake system. The incentive is visible in this thread: people want to feel they're not contributing to wasting electricity.

And the incentive for miners ... well, Ethereum doesn't need them if it has proof of stake, so that part doesn't matter. They don't dictate the rules of the system.
Cortana does use the same logic for automatically finding the tracking information, that has nothing to do with anything in the article though, which is about the UX for manually entering the tracking information.
Driving while using a phone is illegal in most areas, but still very common, just like speeding -- it clearly isn't being addressed very seriously. And standards for "drunk driving" vary a lot; sometimes you're allowed two or even three drinks before driving.

Another commenter here linked to an excellent NYT article exploring this: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/11/19/opinion/america-is-now-an...

The US had one of the world's lowest rates of driving deaths in 1990, but since then other countries have pulled ahead significantly. Why is that?
After 19 hours trying to extract and arrest a fleeing suspect
who had attempted to hide in the house, "the house was condemned by the local municipality immediately after the raid" and the city "refused to pay fair market value".

Part of the city's defense in the subsequent suit is that:
"the city wants the courts to reject the Takings Clause claim, arguing that the language only applies to "those whose property has been taken for public use". "

So, law enforcement takes and uses the home's structure
in an attempt to arrest someone, destroying it in the
process, then the city claims that they didn't "take"
the property in the first place. Wow.

At least the home owner was not the victim of a SWAT
raid initiated from a false report.
You are probably a little bit ignorant of how the internet works to make this comment. The big players are already peering with residential ISPs. That means there's a fiber line that connects Google to Comcast, to use an example. They pay for these arrangements.

The little guys have to use transit. They don't have enough clout or money to peer. Without net neutrality, ISPs could start severely degrading those connections. And there's nothing TLS can do to stop that.
