Lasp can't support this yet, but we're moving towards this direction. We've build a highly-available membership library called partisan, and the next step is to make it so we can basically do this type of work inside of something like OTP with normal messaging. However, it's not trivial because Erlang doesn't allow us to trivially include metadata in our messages, like something like Microsoft Orleans does (this is how we transparently added transactions into Orleans without changing user semantics, by transparently augmented the message during transmission.)

> It's great stuff, but I really do not want my family to be the brave eggs we had to crack to get to the omelet of a driverless future.

The problem with this analogy is that it's based on the assumption that we are not currently cracking any eggs. We are. Hundreds of thousands every year. Introducing AVs right now wouldn't increase that number at worst; realistically it would likely decrease it. Your family of eggs is at a far greater risk because we are holding back. That's how atrocious humans are at driving (and making decision to get behind the wheel drunk) - we evolved to roam and climb trees at less than 10mph, so you can't blame us. Stop overestimating our ability, though.
Hey love the charts, it does look like cryptowatch (which is a complement), i havn't looked at traderwatch much but it is paid and lots of noise there with people creating arbitrary breakdowns with lots of lines on them... but with no solid projection of future movement.

I'm also in the charting/bitcoin graphs business :D checkout https://bitbank.nz we managed to distinguish ourselves by providing live machine learning forecasts combined with granular data that lets you see the price action/movement easily and just focusing on keeping it simple and not adding too many crazy indicators and arbitrary lines. i like this product in much the same way, very clean and nice color scheme.

We use a google app engine/firebase/plotly so we look a bit different to the traditional style, i notice your using a websocket, so your aggregating data on your backend? we are also doing that which gets a bit expensive (and we crunch though a few million previous examples over loads of altcoin markets every few seconds to make predictions). I wonder if there's a way to deffer some operations straight through to the exchanges / data providers?

Let me know if youd be interested in adding some of our forecasts to your graphs, We have a live data feed API for our forecasts you can subscribe too. ill give you the product for free if you let me know your from ohmycoin/HN :) we also have an affiliate program so if you link back to us you can make .003btc every paying user referred :)

Thanks, awesome work! :)

I never built the project. So I don't see how any of this stuff can be build artifacts. There should definitely not be copies of any "package caches" in my project folder. Why would I want a separate copy of jquery for every new project? It all shows up as part of the project when in fact that stuff is a logically separate library. Only code that is unique to my project should be in the project folder. Nor should editor config appear in the project folder. Including Jquery should be just one line of source code:

Using jquery;

I really don't care why VS put that stuff in my project- but as far as I'm concerned, if it's code of any kind, and it's in my project, and I didn't write it, then it's boilerplate. If it looks like a duck, and it quacks like a duck, then it's a duck.

I mean if I'm introduced to some other programmers project I now have to wade through this rats nest of package caches and auto generated classes and other trash trying to figure out which little bits are actually unique to the project itself. I really shouldn't have to do that.

My guess is that social marketing works ok for brands that have a strong competitive position AND healthy margins.

Surely both radio and TV have been used for the same purpose. I think the Internet, and in particular Facebook, is very different for at least a couple of big reasons.

1. Much more precise user targeting

2. Direct feedback on effectiveness (did the user click-through or even just linger looking at the content?)

TV and radio seem like very crude tools in comparison.
That's just wrong. A DSL defines a new language syntax. Most programs don't do that. You might have to learn what functions do but you don't need to learn an entirely new language when you read a Go program for example.

I was recently wishing for a "Jailbroken Mobile Testing Tool", similar to Sauce Labs or BrowserStack but with jailbroken mobiles -- i.e. a cloud-based service allowing you to remotely control a mobile phone through a web interface. Would that be interesting to have?

This service would allow you to load an app from the App Store / Google Play, and then interact with it while logging all network connections (in tcpdump/wireshark/HAR/etc. format). The controlled mobiles would be jailbroken and have tools like SSL kill switch (as mentioned by @bitexploder in another comment) installed by default.

(Going further: the same tool would allow you to download the phone's storage as a zip archive for further analysis)

Right now, everything is manual and requires explicitly passing metadata between messages -- this is less than ideal and we're hoping to have some sort of facility where we can do this transparently in Erlang -- a la parse_transformation or similar, where we can thread either a causal context or session context through to make certain types of guarantees. If this is interesting, we've love to talk to you to learn more about how we could bring this to reality in a real application.

And that situation would push us towards internet as public utility, or at least internet infrastructure as public utility. Also, investment into additional infrastructure could be baked into the resale cost. In my opinion, internet as public utility is not a bad thing, although I'm sure there will be many detractors to the idea.
This is the case with a lot of implementations, and it’s really lot a good idea if you want people to actually use it that way. Ignoring the effect that kind of system has had on pilots, in the automotive industry it’s just going to put poor systems into use under the guise of “well you shouldn’t be counting on it anyways”

Nothing. Absolutely nothing.

The only solution to this is to organize and fight for NN in legislation at this point. All of these alternative internet systems are a complete waste of time until someone tells me how they're going to get around traffic shaping at the backbone level. There's not going to be a continent-wide wireless mesh network either.

I know regulations can be anathema to many HN readers, but if there was ever a justification for one, it's the 2015 Open Internet Order.
It's not the exact same thing. Phone calls are predominantly direct, 1:1 exchanges (in some cases you may have a conference call with a few other parties on the line). No single party could be responsible for a huge majority of the load on a phone network without seeing proportional billing; that is, if you wanted to have 300 simultaneous calls from your office, you had to pay for 300 open phone lines.

Since the internet is instead a broadcast medium, it is much easier for big players to saturate the lines. ISPs naturally believe that _someone_ should be paying for what they interpret as the "extra load" from these big players, and that's not entirely unreasonable when you consider that some households will use 30Mbit/s streaming content to 4 devices for 10 hours per day, and the next household, which pays the same monthly internet bill, uses 5Mbit/s or less to read predominantly-text based sites for 2 hours per day.

Net neutrality is fundamentally large internet companies looking to keep their costs down by using government force to prevent ISPs from charging them usage-based "carriage fees" or similar.

Ultimately I don't know if that's good or bad, but I think it's important we recognize the fight over net neutrality for what it is: an arm wrestling match between industrial juggernauts to decide who is going to pick up the tab for the infrastructure that makes the net tick. The consumer is virtually a non-entity and just watching from the bleachers.
Yeah. The advantage is that there's a human in the loop, and value is driven by human desire for it.

Some tree planters live in the bush for months.

I knew a tree planter who lived in a tent within a tent and inside the outer tent was a dozen jugs piss. He never bothered to empty the jugs until the camp relocated.

Also, it’s not impossible to defecate without a bathroom. Tree planters I knew would deficate in the bush a million miles away from a bathroom and they’d wipe their bums with sticks and leaves - they would do this regularly and brag about it. They enjoyed to defecate in front of people too and that’s how you knew they wern’t lying about the sticks and leaves.

If you were sick, you would lie in yr tent until you were not sick puking in garbage bags. If you got too sick someone could drive you into town.

Some people are just hard like that and guess what - those are the people that are going to want to live in a van and save $$$ on rent.

As pointed out above, if you are looking for a rough logo for a personal project logo generators can be good enough.

Step above that would be the "gig economy" marketplace style sites for generic logo creation. Be wary here though, many people spam these with knock-offs or direct copies of existing logos & resell content. Basically make sure to image search anything you get.
From a pragmatic standpoint you can get something pretty good out of these for the short term before rebranding down the road.

For finding serious custom branding services you can look through a number of creative sites for talent. Creative job boards like Cloroflot (www.coroflot.com/design-jobs), Behance (www.behance.net/joblist) or Dribbble (dribbble.com/jobs) can fit the bill here. You can also search portfolios at these sites and directly reach out to designers that match your style.

How soon history is forgotten. Although in this reporters defense, they might not be old enough to remember how what is now "black Friday" came to be.

If one is old enough (and old enough is generally about 40+) one remembers that what is now "black Friday" was originally the very first day of the Christmas shopping season. The stores simply did not put out any Christmas products until the Friday after Thanksgiving, which is why that Friday is so associated with Christmas shopping.

But the Friday after Thanksgiving was not a day of discounts and sales to try to drive shopping (as it has become). Back when it was the start of the seasons, there were also typically no discounts or sales until the day after Christmas. It was the first day to shop, which is why so much shopping happened that day. In the ensuing 40 some years it has morphed into the "big discount day" it has now become.
These are total expenditures, not salaries. I think. So they probably include things like medical material or office rents.

> Any hard research showing this?

Probably not. Or, better stated, not that I am aware of.

Let's think. Seeing a doctor instead of a PA is associated with better outcomes if, and only if, your condition can benefit from the doctor's specialized knowledge. That means it requires treatment, the treatment is time-sensitive (i.e. worse outcomes if there's a delay), and there are significant adverse effects in case of a lack of appropriate treatment.

The problem is, these conditions are either too rare to be studied in any meaningful way, or the patients' very obviously sick and taken directly to the hospital, where he is obviously seeing a doctor and not a PA.

A lot of people go to the doctor for pretty benign ailments which don't really require a treatment, or for conditions that any intelligent, motivated patient is theoretically able manage himself without a doctor. Examples : virus infections, sprains, acid reflux, chronic conditions like hypertension, diabetes, and so on. E.g. : someone has type I diabetes, understands how and when to give himself insulin, checks his feet for infection and so on. In a case like this, the doctor can barely bring any plus value apart from ordering the regular blood work.

Another frequent scenario is when the patient does have a time-sensitive, treatment-required condition, but does not follow the treatment. Again, him seeing a doctor is unlikely to result in any appreciable benefit.

> Bitcoin's value is bounded: it can't be worth much more to humanity than the sum of all global financial services (likely worth much less).

What's the difference between "all global financial services" and "the global economy"?

If every asset was publicly traded, and those stocks were all denominated in Bitcoin, wouldn't the value of Bitcoin be the entire global economy?

Or are you talking more pragmatically, where "financial services" is all assets that it's economically valuable to denominate in monetary terms, and there is some set of other assets that are kept "off the books", like an uncapitalized startup, or an employee, or something of that nature?

Like, I would consider "financial services" to be a subset of things that are denominated in the US Dollar, but Bitcoin could potentially be used for that whole set, not just the financial services segment.
