The problem is a lot of people are momentum investing, hold and forget. kind of a variations on greater fool theory. eventually if I wait long enough someone will come along and buy this for what I paid or maybe more.
Yes. Does anybody remember the ancient times there were these things called personal Web pages, and blogs, instead of everything being Facebook page/feed?
At least you'd be a bit richer ._.

Rich and sad is still better than just sad.
From my perspective, nothing fundamental has changed about the Bitcoin situation since it was priced at about $1000. I suspect that some inevitable catastrophe is going to eventually cause a massive selloff. Per usual.

I have plenty of FOMO for not buying a couple years ago. But not trying to jump on the bandwagon now.
Ask HN: Do you have problems finding stuff across logging/monitoring systems?
I constantly find myself struggling to answer questions that require me to correlate data across multiple logging and monitoring products (Splunk, Pingdom, Elasticsearch, Icinga, Prometheus, etc., etc.).

For example, I’m often asked to get NFR figures, do SLA reporting or trace events across stacks for root cause analysis. It is not easy in a big shop. More and more I’m noticing that no matter how well thought out these tools are, they can act as data silos pretty darn quickly.

Do you face this issue? Do you easily solve it? If so, what tools do you use?

I’m asking ‘cause I have an idea for a new side project, but I don’t want to build something that only me will find useful (sadly, I’ve done THAT before).

I would be VERY grateful for any comments or PMs on this topic.
Actually, the main thing that gives money value is the fact that you have to pay your taxes in it. If you live in the US, you might be able to live day-to-day with nothing but BTC but when tax time comes you'll be converting some of that to dollars or facing some ugly consequences.
Well, i tried to buy many years ago and got scammed for 1000 EUR. You could be way richer now, but you could also end up like me.
Is the value of stock supposed to equal the GDP?

It is my understanding that the value of a stock should be equal to present value of future cash flows. If those future cash flows are growing faster than the discount rate then a value higher than 100% of GDP is to be expected.

You'd be hard pressed to find a historian, economist or political scientist who would call any of the 20th century's right-wing dictatorships 'socialist', regardless as to the extent of state intervention into the economy.

Also, free movement of capital and 'Freedom' are not at all the same thing, and don't always exist in the same places at the same time. Capitalism can totally exist where there isn't a democracy. China. Russia. Sure, it looks different from western capitalism, but it sure as hell isn't socialism.
I worry what if the entire market is made of fools that will buy their next slightly smaller share of the market at ever increasing prices.

It used to be that traders set pricing enough that if things got out of hand then traders would come in to sell/short. But what if most people just used buy and hold?
> state was deeply involved in the economy, thus making it socialist.

>Capitalism requires freedom, the opposite of dictatorship.

You clearly have some amount of misunderstanding or an active bias/axe to grind. Suffice to say, that's not what any of those terms mean.
It kinda shows how bad of a decision it was, as it still casts a shadow over them in 2017...
You're not alone. hug

Been watching it since it was at $8.
It got up to 30, crashed back to 4. And I felt lucky for not investing .____.

You don't need to worry about it. If nobody is allowed to look for vulnerabilities in EME, none will be found. So we're all safe :)

Personally I think we should make it illegal to look for vulnerabilities in all software. And while we're at it, just on the off chance that somebody does come across a vulnerability (inadvertently, of course), why don't we simply make it illegal to exploit the vulnerability?
Monero is pretty good if you need privacy, Ethereum is okay if you need it a bit faster, you can get a confirmed transaction in about a minute with average price (about 20 cents or less in worth)

Ethereum devs are also working on the raiden network which I believe is atm on the testnet and might release sometime the next months.
Would still be nice if it could be used on the go via mobile phone...
I think the negativity (particularly in the tech community) is from the notion that we don't totally know why its value is so huge yet high. I watched bitcoin going from dollars to the first $300 spike and thought "wow, that's peak". I stopped watching it then heard it hit like $4,000. Now I'm being told its peaked $10k but has developed issues with transaction times and fees.... I thought it was a currency and now the community seems to decide what its value is based on the phase of the moon (at least in the communities I hear about it; I don't go out of my way).

It confuses a lot of tech people that it has something of value to it that we don't totally understand and we keep thinking that it'll crash or the bubble we're all certain we're seeing will pop.
1) Contract owner CANNOT withdraw ETH.
2) True. The Price Oracle is a separate contract that I want to modify to be more like Ark's superdelegate method - a certain number of delegates stake Unum and get to control the price oracle, and in return get to collect the fees from the Unum contract. There's a bit of a chicken-and-egg problem with that for now - it requires people who are interested in collecting a part of the Unum fee.
3) True, but the contract is backed by more than ETH. If the entire crypto market tanks, you'd have to wait for a recovery before you could sell your Unum.
Lots of hard forks and people wanting to have the new bitcoins (bitcoin cash, bitcoin gold, etc) for free, the fact that CME will list the BTC derivatives in about 2 weeks, so new money are expected to enter the game. Maybe even the fact that no government can print BTC at will and that nobody can sequester your BTC account as long as they don't find your wallet. There are lots of reasons, but I don't know why now and not 2-4 years ago.
> - When using Spotify-provided apps, there's the ability to save things for later offline listening. I haven't yet hit a limit on how many things I've been able to save.

The limit is 3,333 tracks, last I checked. Should be plenty for most people, I think.

> - There's no limit on the number of devices I can use with the service, although I can only stream concurrently on one -- multiple offline devices have worked great though

I also like that if you start Spotify on another device while music is already playing, you'll get the option to either control playback on the currently playing device, or switch playback to the new device, seamlessly.

I also consider it a subscription to a library, and I'm fully onboard with the fact that if I cancel my subscription, I lose access. I know people think of streaming services as something new, but it's basically the same as any subscription service that people already used before.
Sort of, it's not an issue until becomes one. They way out historically is run away inflation, aggressive taxation, war, and/or violent societal reorg. These all really suck compared to just living within your means like most working households try to do.
I'm not aware that Obama or Ron Paul used the services of Cambridge Analytica to manipulate votes. What do you mean by that?

Intrinsically Functional
Is there any kind of utility to search for a Bitcoin wallet on a hard drive? I am fairly sure I gambled everything I had in Bitcoin from 2013/2014 and I have not used it since. But I just want to double check!
> The trillion-dollar question is, to what extent does the world need, to function in the 21st century, a money-like asset with Bitcoin's unique characteristics?

Excellent question, although I'm not sure "need" is the right word. How much does the world "need" gold? People desire it and choose to use it for various reasons.

I expect cryptocurrencies will become much more desired if faith in the USD / EUR is shaken. If that happens, I don't think people will be sprinting toward saving / spending / investing with a fiat currency.
You've got some causality backwards, there. Interest rates were at basement levels before QE. QE was an inflationary measure in part intended to keep rates from going even lower into the negative.

QE was a reaction and counterpressure to low rates, not the cause.
True, so far no one who has bought bitcoin should have ever lost any money.
That's like saying Facebook is good because everybody uses it.
Inflation is happening if prices go up without any benefit to customers. It's not what's happening if there is an increase in quality.

This sounds like something in between where there's a law requiring an increase in quality. I expect that wouldn't be necessary. People with (a little) more money have more options and can vote with their feet by moving to a better trailer park.
1. I can't fight an anecdote, and I won't. Finding an attorney who's willing to work on contingency is rare in my experiences. It also requires an attorney who's versed in that field of law (copyright). Lastly, they also need to find someone able and willing to navigate international law on top of copyright and willingness of contingency.

2. In tort law, you don't sue for blood and destruction of your enemies. You sue because you were wronged and are asking the court to be "Made Whole". Certain things may provide a damage multiplier if the case can be made of willfulness. Or there may be statutory damages if certain actions are done (Copyright infringement, with a note of copyright sent to the US copyright office with appropriate registration fee).

They were wronged by a commercial usage of a copyrighted artwork. This artwork is now used on a multitude (million+) copies.

As for your "As a stock photo, that image wouldn’t be worth much more than $50." - that's for a court to decide if they could afford to pursue legal means. And to claim there wasn't any "actual damages" is honestly laughable. 'Sorry artist, your work was pirated by a company to make profit on you, but no damages!"

3. Already answered that.

Side notes: you're conflating quite a few issues together. You're lumping in private copyright/patent breaking and corporate patent/copyright breaking activities together. There's also a widely accepted issue that copyright is too long. There's very little argument that copyright shouldn't exist.

However, DJ's can sidestep copyright by paying their ASCAP fees. That also allows them to remix ASCAP artists, and they can get paid (commercial) for it and also then pay the original creators as well. But music and radio has some very weird carve-outs that most non-musicians aren't aware of.

But aside the length of time arguments, when a company, whom has the money, chooses to break copyright of an individual artist, people do get very angry. And given the asymmetry, people get rightly angry.
I've always felt that there's a time and a plaice for fishing puns.
"Capitalism requires free markets"

I don't think that's true. Under the Nazis plenty of businesses did well despite not having free markets. In the end capitalists want to make money first

In the beginning, there was this wonderful vision of making Bitcoin the currency of the future. I loved that. Now it's just all greed. Bitcoin will go the moon, that's all that matters now. Guess what, you can't create value out of thin air. Bitcoin is useless, you can't do anything with it, except buying and waiting that others buy after you so the price rises up: that's pretty much the definition of speculation.
That is so far outside of reality. Nobody hires a law student who fails the state bar exam to qualify its effectiveness.
dark theme... and maybe more
Meanwhile Ethereum just broke 600K txs in one day. A much more useful metric IMO. Bitcoin's price rise has decoupled from its transaction volume growth:

Netflix's argument for the longest time was they didn't want DRM, but they had no choice.

But, now their originals are becoming a larger and larger part of what they provide, they've steadfastly stuck to having DRM on all their content (first and third party). So that prior argument kinda falls flat on its face.
You aren't starting the vehicle with a slim jim.

That's what we're potentially talking about here. Opening, and driving off in, a keyless vehicle literally keyless.

That has been proven false by their response to the DRM non-aggression pact.
In 2025 the word "mean" no longer means "average", it apparently means "median". Amazing!
I've spent many months upgrading legacy Rails services. One particular project was upgrading several microservices from Rails 3.1 to Rails 4. The projects made use of Rspec, Test::Unit, and Capybara. There were unit tests, integration tests, and UI tests. There were over 5000 specs in total. The project also used many gems in production to accomplish its tasks. When you are forced to uprgrade: the testing frameworks themselves, the ORM, the web framework, static asset building tools, libraries for managing file uploads, map rendering, etc, all in one go, it's nearly impossible to get it 100% right. We upgraded minor versions one by one. We read the Rails release notes and any gems that had them. Every time we bumped a Rails version we broke thousands of tests. Even after months of meticulous work we had only managed to upgrade 3 of the 4 services up to Rails 4.0, with another stuck on 3.2. Is it possible to work this way? Sure. But it's insane and costly when you let it get this bad. I've yet to work on a large Rails project on a team that outsources their upgrades where upgrading was "perfectly straight forward". It sounds like you work for a company that actually cleans house. A company like that has no need to hire OP.
You could spin up a server with just one AWS CLI command (and most likely google console, but I have no experience with it). As you said, just specify the server spec in the command option. Though, AWS CLI is very verbose with their commands, imo.

Anything more complex, such as weaving several server under one VPC with a load balancer and routing configuration, I'd recommend checking out terraform. It also supports multiple cloud providers.
Market overvaluation and public debt are sky-high, it's an unsustainable situation, we either reign it in by controlled means (not gonna happen), or it's going to crash.

DevEdition is our fourth release channel, along with Stable, Beta, and Nightly builds. The engine is generally based on Beta, but we can ship features to DevEdition separately from mainline Firefox. For example, we can ship new developer tools to that channel before they land in Beta, it runs in its own separate profile by default, we allow Developer Edition to disable the add-on signing requirement, etc.
> The W3C version of the story goes something like this. The rise of apps has weakened the web. In the pre-app days, the web was the only game in town, so companies had to play by web rules: open standards, open web. But now that apps exist and nearly everyone uses them, big companies can boycott the web, forcing their users into apps instead. That just accelerates the rise of apps, and weakens the web even more. Apps are used to implement DRM, so DRM-using companies are moving to apps. To keep entertainment companies from killing the web outright, the Web must have DRM too.

What it sounds like 'we' could do, is work to create websites using Service Workers [0] so that the importance of native apps becomes irrelevant [1].

Am I the only individual in the known universe not doing business with Netflix or similar sleazebag outfits? Because principle and because absent pressing need for product.
The developers are actively trying move away from the original vision "p2p digital cash" to simply a "store of value".

Therefore the fees are often too high, and the confirmations can be delayed a lot unless you pay a lot, for it to be very useful. For example it often doesn't make much sense to pay for games on steam using Bitcoin as the fees take a large portion of the payment.

I'm not denying that. I just don't think the explanation for why the deficit was eliminated was because of that.
malloc() is higher level than what the kernel does.

At the lower syscall level you move the BRK address, which is the highest memory address you're allowed to use. By default this is just after the statically initialized memory.

malloc() is just a library that manages this memory for you.

Linux has no idea if you will use the memory you just allocated, usually this happens dynamically; when you access a memory region for the first time, it is allocated in memory for real.

It has become the gold of the cryptocurrencies world. Nobody uses it to buy stuff but only as a store of value. I'm also disappointed in what it has become, and I say that while currently owning bitcoin.
It looks like a lot of people followed your advise though. Otherwise Bitcoin wouldn't have been so high.

Bitcoin seems to be driven purely by speculation right now. Before the next breakthrough, which may or may not happen, the only reason Bitcoin is so high is that people think it is a good idea to buy.
So happy to have stumbled upon this, this is truly awesome, a recounting of Lucid's creation and various details by one of its creators. Probably best to start at the beginning:

https://billwadge.wordpress.com/2011/03/23/lucid-the-origins...

And then work your way forward. The book is also great: http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~plaice/archive/WWW/1985/B-AP85-L...

This stuff has a very direct line to the modern "FRP" ideas (with the exception of the actual FRP by Conal Eliot, which is actually quite different from what most of us call FRP, oh details...). And it's so much more cogent.

Also check out the Wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucid_(programming_language)

When I looked at it a while ago, I couldn't find a working implementation, so I banged on it until I got something that at least appeared to work (on OS X): https://github.com/mpw/pLucid-osx
I've designed a logging system designed to address some of these issues (https://eliot.readthedocs.io/en/1.2.0/) and I know people have e.g. used the trace ID it provides to correlate Sentry errors with logging traces. Not a full solution, obviously, but if you do go this route do borrow some ideas if it's helpful.

As far as a business goes: it's a real problem. Whether people will pay for it, that's something else. You may wish to spend some time reading up on questions real people ask about these systems (e.g. on relevant forums) to see what patterns you notice. https://stackingthebricks.com/vintage-sales-safari-in-action... and other articles there have some examples of doing this sort of research.
A more common situation are junior developers who are embarrassed by mentoring, and so vocally push back with anger that you would dare violate their ego. This is a bad cultural fit that needs to figure out their place in the universe or get the hell out.
People are doing that because of the ridulous interest rate situation. If rates go up, that balloon will spring a leak as people move away from equities.
Maybe I'm too synical but that just seems impossible. Also, I don't know of an anywhere-near-ideally functioning democracy in the world (maybe I just haven't read anywhere).

Recently I've started to think that democracy is never the steady state of any government, it's just a stepping stone to democratic republics and then to oligarchy.

I mean just think about it. who's in the best position to influence the will of a large amount of people? people with the most resources. That's (probably) never going to change -- technological advances are the only things that seem to truly shake things up (as well as revolutions I guess), and even that has been successfully controlled/regulated.

The only thing I can see as the future for the internet is mesh networks and a separation of the federated internet and a decentralized one.
2017 is the first year https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Reporting_Standard is implemented. The rich need somewhere new to store their offshore cash.
Cash (a strong, value holding currency like the USD, CHF, maybe Euro but it also depends where the spark will be of the crisis), wait it out and when the biggest panic goes buy the undervalued assets when they're near the bottom. Gold is also an option but physical, a paper guarantee is nothing
So isn't it possible that Unum becomes insolvent? Forgive me if there's an easy place to read up on this :)

In other words, you send in $400 of ETH for 400 Unum, and if the price of ETH goes down to $300 and they try to cash out all 400 Unum...?
None of us can know since it would require seeing into the future & bitcoin has no historical precedence of trading during a recession.

My hunch is it gets absolutely slaughtered. It's a guage of risk seeking appetite IMO & historically when the "turn" occurs the assets folks are holding with the most gains are liquidated the most aggressively because they need to finance the losses.

.com stocks in the late 90's got smoked & it's where people had the most gains. housing in 07-09 got smoked & it's where people had the most gains. Safe haven trades even got smoked like low yield & gold because they could be used as a source of funds.

Another illustration was Bernie Madoff. He didn't close up shop because he got busted - he turned himself in because he had no money left. People were using him as an ATM during the crisis. He had very nice slow & steady returns that you'd think in a crisis would be great in a portfolio that's getting smashed. Nope. It's a source of funds. People withdrew from him like crazy cause they needed the money & it's only then that he turned himself in.
The W3C is supposed to care about keeping Netflix and EFF happy. They're supposed to reach a compromise. There seems to have been very little compromise here. They've certainly managed to make EFF very unhappy.
Stylistically this reminds me of Onett from Earthbound.
Re manholes: they come in all shapes and sizes (where "all shapes" means "predominantly circular or rectangular"); round manholes are definitely not unique to America. This is mostly an artifact of the construction methods - for prefab cut+cover, rectangular is an easier shape to use; where actual digging is necessary, a round shaft provides a generally acceptable profile.
