You lead an interesting life. Your comment reminded me how curious it is that some people tend to have regular (yearly-ish?) clashes with police and the criminal justice system, and others go their entire life without anything more than a "Good morning" with a cop.
Indeed, M&S revolutionised the sandwich in public purchase, and lots of small shops did that too, especialy in university towns like Oxford, and London. Then PRet a Manger came along and did more, and other more mainstreamish places have followed along, if not as well. Sandwiches in the UK have never been better.
It's not a trademark, it's a designation of geographical origin. France doesn't "protect" Champagne - it's just that if you call something Champagne it has to be real Champagne - i.e. be made in Champagne, following the Champagne method. Just like Campana Mozza, Feta, etc.

It's as much for the consumer as it is for the producer. And there are rows of "Sparkling Wine according to the Champagne method" in French supermarkets, right next to the real stuff

Advice for New Freelance Developers
Can more experienced freelance developers offer some advice to someone trying to launch their freelance career? Specifically, I'm looking for suggestions on

-building up clientele

-client communication

-remote workflows

-time tracking

-contracts and other legal concerns

Thank you!
Well the same could be said about fiat. Fiat has no intrinsic value. However it's very useful.
Like any other product or service, when you exchange your money for BTC all that has happened is someone decided to sell you BTC and you gave them money.

BTCs exchange rate is dependent on someone else offering money. If there's a market panic, the price quickly drops due to a race to beat other orders.
"Without any expense"?
What do you call the technical expertise and man-years of work put into the network?
Works just as well for Go binaries. It's pretty much the recommended base image for distribution of Go apps on Docker. I assume that it would be just as effective for any statically compiled binary.

Edit: I really should have read the article first. It uses Go binaries as the example. Good to know Haskell folks are also using it.
Your newly printed stack of $100 bills is also only worth $10000 if someone is willing to exchange it for goods and services worth that much. I don't see how newly mined $10000 worth of Bitcoin is injecting any less artificially created value into the economy.

Since no one can actually prove (or, rather, no one has been able to do that yet) who Satoshi is, your statement of whether there is evidence of him (her?them?) mining or not mining in the beginning is rather baseless.
Ask HN: Working for a nonprofit organization
Soon, I will finish my PhD (CS, some machine learning, some bioinformatics) and the question what to do next is becoming more and more present in my head. There are certainly enough companies which would fit my profile, however recently I started thinking of working in a nonprofit organization (NPO) where I can put my knowledge into action for a good cause. My main problem here is that I don't know what's out there and if there's anything at all that would fit my profile.

Therefore, my question to HN: If you're working in a NPO, what do you do there? What's your background? How did you get there? And so on... :)
Of course, I'm mainly interested in those who have a higher degree in CS/related, but I'm certain there are many other exciting stories!
Just don't allow calculators.

Or design your exams such as you can't cheat with a calculator

You'll just have more work to do to create exam that test the logic and reflexion without big calculations.

I think it would lead to even more interesting subjects.

In France, we do two years of math / physics preparation before entering in engineering school, and we're never allowed calculators in maths. And french engineers are considered to be very good at maths

What you are saying is that "I can pay with currency $x anywhere, I just need to exchange it first"

If you use Visa/MasterCard, you will not pay _in_ BTC but in dollars/euros/whatever.
The question is, say I had a million dollars worth of bitcoin. Or 10 million, or 100 million. How easily could I exchange them for a traditional hard currency, GBP, CHF, USD? What is the depth of the liquidity of this market? Without that, the valuation is meaningless.

Think of currencies as placeholders of value. When you work you create value and unless you want to trade that value directly for an asset that isn't a currency (think barter) you exchange the value for a currency. The currency acts as a placeholder for the value you created. One of currency's attributes is it's easy to divide into equal units. These units then become the "price" of your work. The currency makes it easy to compare units are prices of any other asset. So you can compare how much you want to charge for your work by comparing the units of currency across other stuff (e.g. cars, rent, food, etc.). Not all assets make good potential currency. Think of comparing televisions priced in houses. The Sony is 1/10000 of Alice’s house, the Visio is 1/100000 of Bill’s house, etc.

Currencies are just another asset with some additional properties. The most important additional property is that people are willing to exchange it for any other asset. The point at which an asset crosses over to the currency or medium of exchange is elusive.

The paradox is, a modern society needs currency in order to function (barter doesn’t work because of the double coincidence of wants), however, determining when to add/subtract currency (i.e. the money supply) from the world is imperfect. So the question is, how do you do this where all participants are treated the same?

The US dollar’s money supply is managed via lending. That is, currency is lent into existence. This methodology is extremely flexible through the use of inflation and generally depends upon prices going up, however, it’s not a panacea. If loans are not collateralized “fairly” then a bank's special ability to create loans in this closed system can harm everyone that holds dollars.

Currently, the Bitcoin money supply is managed through mining up to a finite number of Bitcoins. This is considered deflationary and has the potential downside of everyone holding Bitcoins and prices going down.

Bitcoin, imho, is not a currency because it isn’t used as a medium of exchange, yet or maybe never. However, it is a store of value (not saying it’s a good or bad store of value) with a limited supply. In time, we’ll learn whether that in and of itself is useful and therefore justifies the price or just a speculative bubble.

Protocols like IPFS, BitTorrent produce tangible value for the users. In all fairness it would be nice to see them getting at least something in order of $10 million for their nice effort.

These new ICO's are manufactured to give the company that develops them hundreds of millions or even speculative billions in paper.

How long until people realize again that these products have near-zero marginal cost?

Artificial scarcity can be circumvented by just copying Ethereum and creating cheaper alternative.

I'd suggest anyone interested in jumping into building computer vision models should check out the excellent free MOOC on fast.ai
Quantitative easing (stealing value of money from others by priting it) is the main reason Bitcoin was created (just look at the message in the genesis block). Bitcoin has limited supply, which makes it a unique digital currency (as opposed to fiat currencies, that are also mostly digital, but centrally controlled/printed).
I wish every Scala house had this attitude.

I'm a .NET developer by day (for the moment, I'm moving jobs soon), and I applied for a handful of Scala roles, and I didn't even get as far as the interview stage for all but one of them. One of them was nice enough to tell me that they wouldn't be continuing with the process because they're looking for the finished article, rather than having to train someone to use Scala. Since the job advert is still coming up on SO Careers I would assume that they're still looking...

The latency would be horrible. Fine for email, or downloading something you need in the future. But real time interaction as chat, or browsing the web would be really slow. Streaming would be out of the question as well.
Ethereum had an ICO

if the body produces dmt (precursors or sumsuch), then yes.
It strikes me as an (non-invested) outsider that Ethereum seems to benefit from having a figure like Vitalik who can act as a Torvalds-esque figurehead, setting the project's technical direction. And that, in contrast, the non-participation of Satoshi Nakamoto has left a power vacuum at the heart of Bitcoin, which results in the kind of bloody and attritional battles required to move it forward. Because everybody and nobody can claim to be the heir to Nakamoto's technical vision.

Clearly Ethereum has had more than its share of problems, but as things stand, I feel it has a greater chance of becoming a truly disruptive technology than Bitcoin, which seems to have become stuck in a technical quagmire.
Yeah. I'm not sure how well I'd go with counting since I only have 10 fingers.
I think internet connectivity was too expensive and unstable for cconsumers and small business for something like a terminal to take off when the internet took off(late 90ties, 2000snds).
Well, if they pay for the support and their request falls into an agreed-upon SLA, why not? This allows improving the software, keeping it open source and may provide a living wage for the maintainers all at the same time.

> Last I saw the browser extensions worked automatically for all pages, thus sending all your browsing habits to some random place

You're right that when a extension want to work when the current tab and site you have in focus, they'll need to ask for permission to all websites (otherwise the developer would have to whitelist all the websites where the extension should work) but that doesn't mean that they are sending your browser habits anywhere. Although they could, so review the source code if possible.

Better as in better money[1], nothing else.

If you are talking about income inequality, it cannot be fixed with money as it is just a tool. If our economic system is based on hoarding capital, then you end up hoarding it. If the best and safest way to hoard is Bitcoin, they you will use it.

However, you cannot go further than hoarding or using it. What the central banks do is much worse, they print it out of nothing and it ends up in the hands a few individuals, with impunity. So on scale of bad to worse, I would argue bitcoin is the lesser evil since at least it would allow for true free markets to exist.

Regarding Satoshi and the early adopters, why do you care ? When using fiat money, do you care about the fact the US dollar got an unfair advantage when it forced the Bretton Woods system on all of us ? As a matter of fact, the US dollar has been the strongest currency and international settlement one exactly because of that unfair advantage.

And if you do care, the problem is not within the money but the economic system. It's an other topic for a bigger problem ...

While people all over the world are becoming more conservative, and divided - there are a few movements or platforms that try to level the playing field for all.

The internet started as one of those movements, and these words seem to echo that of the skeptics then.

It's not just about the value of Bitcoin going #tothemoon

Cryptocurrencies and blockchains now give us the opportunity*, infrastructure, and incentive/reward mechanisms to build the future platforms that will not discriminate, or manipulate us, but instead empower and elevate .

I think such a movement, network, and infrastructure is something very valuable that we would lose if they disappear.
Heh. Make that <ctype.h>, of course. D'oh. :)
SSH tunnels adds hassle to deploy and maintain. Compared to openvpn once your server is up you just need to deploy software and install certs and byebye! It is my prefered solution for devices since it takes 5min to deploy. And you have instant access to all ports of the device(s)

You can run a Docker container as a particular user.

You can use `setcap` to grant capabilities to the binary or the `pam_cap` module if you need to do capabilities per user.

I haven't run across the need to run most containers as root for a while now.

Bitcoin also worked ok before the number of transactions went high, is ether protected from that kind of thing? If for example amount of ether transactions go up 3 orders of magnitude?

And it would be nice to have even smaller fees on Ether and transaction time less than a second, so it could be better than VISA/Mastercard.

Last time I read Time magazine I was shocked at the almost childlike simplicity of the content.

OK, but this situation literally never exists in the real world. Even if two candidates have 10 years of professional Python experience, there is going to be a more granular metric you use to figure out who has more technical skill. Maybe candidate A has more experience in Python 2.7 -- what Google still uses primarily for internal Python, and so candidate A gets hired.

But nothing in life is that simple. What if Candidate B has just 1 year less experience in Python 2.7x, and Candidate A has a domestic violence felony on their record? What is the optimal, objective decision then? Or consider a less dramatic example of "cultural" issues. Candidate A has 11 years in Python experience, Candidate B has 10 years. But Candidate A casually throws around the phrase "bitch work" and uses "faggy" and "retarded" as synonyms for "unfair" and "stupid", but is otherwise just as decent a person as B (however that is objectively measured). And let's imagine that this doesn't actually violate any HR policies.

Is it objectively correct to hire Candidate A on the basis of technical achievement? What if Candidate A is going to work with a female boss and several engineers who are LGBT? You think that Candidate A's extra year of Python experience objectively outweighs the damage that he would do team cohesion?

I'll humor you with your unrealistic scenario: OK, 2 completely equal candidates. And I'm playing devil's advocate for the diversity folks. You think that diversity advocates -- all things being exactly equal -- are obligated by their philosophy to choose the black candidate on the basis of being black? I sure as hell wouldn't make that rationalization, because that fits the legal definition of discrimination. Someone who is a diversity advocate can also be someone who isn't a federal law violator.

So how would I resolve it? Flip a coin -- that's no more absurd a solution than the entire scenario in the first place. What would be your hypothetical solution?

I'm always sad when I read something like this. If believing in God and protecting the planet or accepting basic science are contrasting ideas, then your wife's grandparents are believing in a caricature, not God.

But I think you can do better than just saying "these are fairy tales". I recently read a book from a former atheist (Jennifer Fulwiler) who came from a very loving and intellectually honest family. Her father said this when she was young: "Make sure you don't start believing things just because someone says it's true, even if it's coming from me. Question everything." I wish more people would be like that, atheist and religious alike.

I've been using a 44" 4K TV for around two years as my main monitor and it's been great. The only very minor pain point is having to manually turn the TV off and on via the remote in the right order so that Windows 10 doesn't reset my window layout. The Visio TV I use has 1 of the 5 HDMI ports set aside to not route through its image processor which means text stays very clear.
