Yes, funny that ETH, which is meant to execute on-chain turing complete code, is much better for simple payment than Bitcoin. On the other hand I think a solution directly designed for payment only is a better fit for this purpose, as it has a bit smaller attack surface than ETH or other dapp platforms. (Admittedly a sophisticated payment system like Dash with the Evolution update has still a higher attack surface than Bitcoin. That is why Bitcoin is perfect as digital gold.)
Do you have them? If I had to bet I'd say it is way less.
If you don't then your argument is a bit of pointless, no offense.
Kind of funny, but I had the opposite reaction. I was playing with Django when I was first getting into web dev 6 or 7 years ago. When I saw this, I thought "Oh wow, they're just barely getting to 2.0 and making breaking changes?"
Why mention Dash when you could have made your point without mentioning it? Dash is well known for its aggressive astroturfing. Mentioning it directly plays into that reputation, which you obviously know about since you acknowledge that your direct mention of Dash will be unwelcome.
As a beginner/intermediate level myself, I think new routing syntax, which is similar to flask is itself a major feature of the django 2.0. This really simplifies the url routing than the regex(which is lot powerful though). For simple projects of mine, it may well cover 60-80% of my needs, maybe more.
So what’s your plan for spreading those out? Because the former isn’t happening (or even practical in many areas) and the latter presents an order of magnitude more difficult logistics (ie, expense) that would balloon costs.

It’s all well & good to say a solution but when that solution is a complete fantasy it’s hsrdky helping
Apple is tanking their good will with these.
But more surprising Tim Cook is the target of rage from a lot of people, more so than Apple (from my social groups full of nontechies).

I guess that's the burden of following Steve Jobs. His personal brand was pretty synonymous with Apple and Quality.

IMO I think Tim Cook needs to go. He's a perfectly fine CEO for most companies but not Apple. Apple needs an opinionated CEO who is in touch with the average American(and the normal curve). Tim Cook says things like "If you only work for money, you will never be happy", which reveals how out of touch he is with most Americans.
If you were already using Python 3, and your code wasn't emitting any deprecation warnings, then it's a fully backwards-compatible change and you can just bump the version number in your requirements.txt with no other changes.

If your code was emitting deprecation warnings, then you have to fix them before upgrading, but this should be relatively rare and they shouldn't be that hard to fix.

If you're still on Python 2, then you have to either migrate to Python 3 or stay on Django 1.11 (which is an LTS release). 1.11 EOL is April 2020, which is the same time as Python 2's EOL, so you were going to have to migrate your codebase by then anyway.

While a single project might only materially affect its immediate neighbors, the pattern of land-use decisions in aggregate harms the region as a whole (housing shortage, astronomical rents, displacement) much more than an apartment building could harm its single-family neighbors. This is why something like regional housing needs allocation is a good idea: let local communities control the how and where, but don’t let them screw over the rest of society on the “whether or not.”

The entire planet is nontrivially affected by creating and preserving car-dependent settlements; this sort of thing needs to be handled at the level of international climate treaties.

The entire country is nontrivially affected by the inaccessibility of moving to where there are jobs. Shadows on your garden don’t come close to being stuck in a place with no opportunity.

Imagine if other law was made at such a hyper-local level. Should residents of the 1200 block get to write themselves a murder statue that says residents of the 1100 block are fair game?

Good government is an antidote to the patchwork of small-scale actors making decisions in their own interests but dumping the downside of those decisions on society.

Thanks! We've updated the title, which we're happy to revert if the submitter objects.
The alpha has been published in January. You can use it if you want, at your own risk.

The devs are working hard and the beta is likely to come in 2018. People think naively than increasing the block size will change something. It will in the short or mid term, but not in the long term and you can't keep increasing the blocksize. There needs to be a permanent, well implemented solution and that's what's coming and why it's taking so long.

Blocksize increase alone is not sustainable.
If you're already at 1.11 and on Python 3, it should not be too bad of an upgrade. If you have to go from an earlier version _and_ do the swap from Python 2 to 3, you may be in for a world of pain.
How isn't this a WF issue instead of an Apple issue? If your father chose an iRobot instead would you expect iRobot to transfer it to Apple Store credit?

As Dave said, iTunes cards are seldom sold at face value, often coming at up to 30% off. Apple Store credit is worth face value explicitly. This isn't Apple's problem. Sell the cards privately (you will take a loss) and be more careful next time.
> Anyone that says digital tulips at this point sounds hurt that they didn't invest

I did, several years ago when it looked like a genuinely interesting up-and-coming technology.

At this point though, digital tulips.
Respect to the Django team that even after 12 years they have only one major version shift (which seems to only because of dropping support for Python 2) and the backwards incompatible changes are minimal.

This is actually a legit legal argument called servitude of sunlight.

Architects are trained to consider lighting as a part of livability of a home.

There's medical studies that say sunlight affects mood and health.

If you love sun and/or spent a bunch of money on an architect to design a home centered around sunlight and a giant track home gets erected next to yours blocking all of your sunlight you've lost alot of value in your home.

It becomes an even more interesting when your home is solar powered. Blocking your sun is literally reducing your energy and costing you money.
"Google’s many data centers around the world burn through 260 million watts" way less, besides Google's DC are rather modern and often are rather environmental friendly. Bitcoin on the other hand is mostly mined in China where the energy comes largely from fossil fuels
"Braking". It can definitely come to a grinding, flaming halt with engine breaking. (Sorry, that typo is a bit of a pet peeve).

And you can easily get down to 5mph with engine braking, which is more than slow enough to be a problem if you don't have brake lights on.
Interesting, are individuals factoring in the possible existence of quantum computers in the future? If Bitcoin does become a trillion dollar space I’d feel uncomfortable knowing there are technical limitations already in place.

Also, what does the end of Bitcoin generation look like? If Bitcoin is truly deflationary why would anyone trade it? The interesting thing about inflation is it requires investment to ensure your money doesn’t lose value over time. Would Bitcoin be incentivizing a market where growth is extremely limited due to greed?

Not taking any sides, trying to understand the long term reprucussions of a substantial Bitcoin market.

I'm excited by seeing support and continued development. Nothing worse than a dead framework, but I def see your point.

Stability is very important too.
I haven't been understanding bitcoin for the longest time: It has been more than five years since I first heard about it. I tried to look it up, I can never quite get the overall picture, why it works the way it is.

I finally understood the bitcoin mechanism and I can explain the original paper well just two days ago. I feel dumb reading this paper. Intellectually, I think it's a hallmark of many great inventions in the 20th and 21st century: public-key cryptography (to verify transactions), micro economics - game theory (to incentive people to mine), hashing (bounty), macro economics (to combat inflation), distributed computing synchronization (to trust the system while not trusting any single computer), statistics (to combat fake chains). Only when one has all the pieces of the puzzle together then the whole thing is possible to conceive.

But I feel a sense of achievement when I finally figured the whole thing by myself. If you don't understand bitcoin, I think you should understand bitcoin as a hacker, even you don't need to use it or intend to store money in it.

I only own a small fraction of a coin, I'm not a risk taker. I'm not going to be rich from bitcoins, I have no reason to shill it with memes. It's unlike anything you have encountered before, notably that the only reason why bitcoin is worth money, is because we are better off with it. I do believe the world is a better place when everyone agrees that bitcoin has values and can be traded, because that means many people can buy their own "insurance" should wars happen, which they do. Your money might turn into paper, you might get killed if you smuggle cows, gold, and diamond when you're running for life, but no one can know if you have bitcoins.
They are and they will be even more. The bigger the Segwit adoption rate is, the lower the fees. The adoption still is under 50%, it was around 15-20% in October but it's getting there.
I had to butcher the title to fit, HN mods are welcome to unbutcher it. I really hate having to do that, but EFF tends to have overly verbose headlines.
From the 2016 competition, there was at least one Two Sigma hire directly resulting from Halite and several more that were probably resulted indirectly.

Regarding your point about the last survivor winning, that's partially true, but partially not. What you're essentially describing is a proto-version of the non-aggression pact we saw develop in the last weeks of Halite 2016 (and which was indeed largely successful). However, even there, it wasn't quite so simple; competition winner mzotkiew had an excellent write-up of his strategy at https://github.com/mzotkiew/HaliteBot/blob/master/writeup.pd.... Halite-II makes non-aggression even more difficult due to the lack of discretization found in Halite I.

> I still think the HP-41CX was the pinnacle.

You might also have liked the 42S... it was built to be as a more direct successor to the 41's. The UI is much more similar to the 41 than the 28/48/etc.

> I did buy a 28(something) at one point but I didn't love it.

The 28/48 was much more powerful, but it was also a fairly radical shift in approach. The interface got heavier weight, with more to interpret on the display, more keystrokes for many operations, and just generally more to manage. I liked it, but in retrospect mainly because it was a portable computer I could play around with during school, etc.

I think it's also the case that HP's interest in the calculator market was falling off right as RPL (19B, 28, 48, ...) was hitting its stride. TI took over the educational market starting with the TI-30 and TI-81, and computers took over the professional market - so there wasn't much room anymore for a professional HP calculator by the time the early 90's rolled around. (Or at least not enough of a market for the calculator business unit to gain traction within HP to fund its development efforts. My guess is that, as is often the case, the opportunity cost of pursuing a relatively small market was viewed to be excessive when there were other things to do.)

The contrast between the 1972 introduction of the HP-35 and 1993's 48-GX is also striking. The HP-35 got developed because the 'H' of HP wanted it, and even then, he commissioned market research studies and held back the usual development funding. Once developed, the HP-35 sold well, even at >$2K 2016 dollars, due to the fact that the best alternative was either a slide rule or a minicomputer. If it took that much political power within 1972-era HP to sell a product with a such a compelling advantage, it's not hard to see how badly the complete landscape shifted against further calculator development by the time the 90's rolled around.

All that's to say that the RPL platform only got a couple rounds of significant internal development funding by HP. At one point, I'd have really liked to see what they could've done with another round or two of development. And then I graduated high school, got more access to real computers, and it didn't really matter any more.
They were new categories to Apple, thus he was NOT brought in to milk every current iteration of an Apple product until there is nothing left, like the gp comment suggested.
Fast desktop-scale extrusion 3D printing
The plan going forward is to make every third release semver-major, but these will still be incremental releases. The semver-major ones will be backwards-incompatible only in that they'll drop support for features that had already been deprecated for at least two releases.
How does that square with the news that the captain's father was killed in a suicide bombing just four months ago?
Just a thought: custom software on the ap/router that logs your mac address and anything else useful for fingerprinting that they might not get through a browser.
I just noticed that when I mention it on HN or /r/cryptocurrency I am downvoted to hell. First I did not know what it is. We have discussed it on the dash subreddit, and seemingly fans of other coins hate and FUD Dash with passion. I am trying to evaluate cryptocurrencies objectively, and try to give few emotion into it. I have found that no other currency provides the combination Dash does, which are: private send, instasend, low fees, high tx/sec and working on even more, user.friendlyness with the evolution update, DAO with treasury budget for development and markteing.

A question to you: Do you accept the behaviour to downvote a normal on topic comment just for mentioning an on-topic cryptocurrency? I find this downvoting behaviour anti-intellectual.
Interesting intellectually but I’d say the problem it’s trying to solve as illustrated in its readme is just poor application design.

Streams, events, etc have all solved this problem without repurposing existing syntax to “fix” a round peg by making it square.

Clever though.
You missed his analogy -- he didn't say that people who own a home don't see unjust assault, he said that people who own stock don't see unjust assault and people who own a home should be like them.
Just out of curiosity, if the API is already being built in Java, why not just build a single-page-app to utilize the API instead of Django? I'd assume the deployment and overhead of maintaining a single-page-app would be way lower than Django. (i.e. uploading to s3 and setting up CDN vs. setting up a VM for Django with nginx, uwsgi, etc.)
If he bought a home through hard work, I’m fairly certain he’s aware that he’s paying taxes through the nose to support these programs as well. I know I am.

Get off your high horse about the government charitability towards homes, the government didn’t provide these programs out of its own back pocket, our tax dollars provide these programs.
“If more people wanted dense housing the laws would change” - This is not true. I do a lot of political organizing in this space. The issue here (SFBA) is that the zoning laws are made by the current residents of a small geographic area (neighborhood or city). The problem is that narrowing the universe of stakeholders that can influence zoning to “current residents” excludes a lot of people who would want to densify the area, mainly people who commute to that community to work because they cannot afford the home prices near their job. The people who are most impacted by these communities decisions to outlaw apartments are politically disenfranchised by the existing political structures. A great example of this is Cupertino, a city of 35k, which recently built the new Apple campus, which has room for 12k workers. The city of Cupertino did not build new housing for 12k new people though, so they take the payroll takes from Apple, and the sales taxes from the vibrant local economy these 12k commuters create, and exclude the 12k new workers from the benefits of their taxation (schools, parks, etc) through not building housing for them. We need to change the laws so the universe of stakeholders in zoning decisions expands from the current set of people who already live in a small geographic area, hopefully giving the power to a regional government or the state itself.
Sauce Labs (www.saucelabs.com / www.testobject.com) | Multiple Positions | Berlin & SF | Onsite

Sauce Labs is the premier platform for testing apps or websites on real devices, emulators or simulators. View all our jobs here: http://grnh.se/ex5dth1

However, I'm a developer in the Berlin office, where we create the real device platform. We have thousands of physical Android and iOS devices that we make available for automated and manual testing for our customers, as reliably as possible.

Here are some of the challenges we're taking on:

* Writing software does low level interactions with phones (e.g. getting video and simulating gestures) and ensuring this software works across nearly all devices

* Cleaning/resetting devices after tests

* Moving to zero-downtime deploys when we can't avoid state (we do have physical phones connected to servers at some point after all)

* Making a library of hundreds of different models of phone with different requirements and compatibilities and reliability all appear consistently and reliably to our customers

* Lots more, depending on the day!

Our tech stack is Java, Docker, Angular and React. There's only ~8 of us on the real device team and we need help, preferably from folks with Java experience but low level Android or iOS would also be great! We need another frontend developer too!

Apply with the link I gave above or if you have any questions please reach out to me (mcrum at saucelabs dot com). I've been here for a couple years now and we have a great team!

You can dislike how much fiat the government prints (I do too!), but at least when the government prints money the profit goes towards things that benefit the public (bridges, defense, schools, etc.), some corruption notwithstanding.

Ask HN: How could setting an AI's goal to be “increase human autonomy” go awry?
I read Nick Bostrom's book "Superintelligence: Paths, Dangers, Strategies" a while back and found the problems in trying to set a goal for AI to be interesting/difficult. He outlines various ways the goals could be misconstrued by the AI, which eventually leads to human extinction. I think setting the goal to be "to increase human autonomy" might get around some of these problems. I'm interested to hear how people think it could go awry though.
bcash users have active propaganda campaigns to try and confuse people into thinking that it is bitcoin. That should be about all anybody needs to know about it.

That's the kind of thing Apple made fun of Windows Vista for in the Get a Mac ads.
In other words permit rules are bad when they stop you from doing improvements you like (fence repair), but good when they stop your neighbor from turning a single home into a duplex.

Isn't it a reasonable expectation for city and suburb dwellers that when you affect your neighbors, you might have to get permission? And when your interest is greater than their inconvenience, that you should be granted permission? And that authority should be an expert at it and impartial?
Fair enough. I haven't had my morning coffee yet, but I do agree. You make a good point. Thanks for correcting me / explaining.
Springboard. Springboard is the culprit. It is a core part of iOS and it is crashing.
The standard specifies all known cases, the list is not exhaustive from all possible C implementations.
I'd say it is Apple's problem to have a disappointed customer. Of course they can send him away. Is it worth that though?
Tar works for small things, but over an arbitrary file number file size combo it becomes unwieldy. Rsync, rbackup, rsnapshot, are great tools based on rsync, and these days Borg has been getting a lot of traction. Bacula is great but complicated to setup and manage. There is a newer very interesting one called Ur that seems promising... And my mind is blanking on some of the others, I'll comment when I'm not mobile so I can look at my list.

Also don't forget zfs/btrfs functions that might be relevant.
Serverless Architectures with AWS Lambda: Overview and Best Practices [pdf]
Yes, definitely agree.

WF was where I went to first and they were absolutely unwilling to help - but I expected that.

Apple's response was unexpected and I think that's why it soured me. I used to always tell people, just go to Apple they'll take care of it for you.

Privately selling was my last resort like you said, and I already talked to my dad that next time, let's just get the cash and use that anywhere, instead of locking it into Apple (he was about to buy an iPad Pro so he figured why not, bless his heart)

He loves that iPad Pro lol.
The bitcoin development team is * rightfully* extremely cautious and correctly moves extremely slowly.

That's a GOOD thing. I don't want "move fast and break things" with bitcoin.
I used to have a "poor man's time machine" system based on rsync + hard links to files that didn't change with new backups. Essentially it was the same concept than time machine. Of course you couldn't upload a single "snapshot" because tar wouldn't know what's a hard link. One advantage of using rsync is that you can also keep track of things you delete.

Today I'm using zfs with real snapshots. For systems with no zfs support (my wife's iMac for instance), I have a zfs fs that those systems rsync to, after the rsync is done I create a snapshot. All scripted. The snapshots can be stored in another server for an additional layer of backup, or incrementally send them to s3 if you want.
