I thought BTC going above 10000 was the end of the bubble, but with announces like that it's just the beginning.

Each time it grows I fear bigger damages... But I also hope I'm wrong and I'll be just proven to be a fool for not having a bigger amount of bitcoin (I mined some back in the days)
This article raises some valid points. If anything, it makes me want to learn more on glyphosates and have an informed opinion. I'd like to hate Monsanto, but for valid reasons! Many commenters here criticise the article without providing any argument other than "you are brainwashed/paid by the lobbies". Not the standard of argumentation one expect on HN!
Few verifiable facts? I'm sure you can verify that the author really has a garden and controls weeds using round-up (why remove weeds by hand which is totally feasible, part of growing a garden responsably, and an infinite source of satisfaction upon achievement?), and has had no symptoms of intoxication (yet). Point proven!
I've been very happy with migadu.com although I've only recently moved to it. But they make a pledge to privacy in a similar fashion to ProtonMail. I like their pricing and simplicity, they're worth a look.
The gist of the responses seems to be that it is unfair that the home owners got treated in a reasonable fashion only because they had a senator to interceded on their behalf.

If instead, Grandma got evicted from her house because they stopped sending $14/yr tax bills to her because the address was wrong, would you think it was “fair”?

If the system is fked up, we shouldn’t be up in arms when someone gets treated reasonably. Instead, I’m hearing something analogous to “We shouldn’t pardon some innocent people on death row, it wouldn’t be fair to all the other innocent people on death row.”

I recall my chemist teacher repeating the age old phrase "the dosage makes the poison" so often that I'm basically immune to anyone crying "X is poison".

It's all about "how much?" and "over which time period?" and "where did you put it into your body?" to determine if something will kill you or cause cancer.

Not sure about Posteo but at least Mailbox.org allows you provide public key and all the email coming in will be encrypted with your public GPG/PGP key.

So you can only read them in your mail client with GPG support.

Yes, mailbox could create copy of your email before encryption. But assuming that they don't/didn't so far, in case they change their mind the historical emails will not be accessible.

The other solution where they keep private key (pass protected), well sure, that pretty much open for abuse but at some level you have to start trusting the law, otherwise everything false apart.

Take a look at the range of topics this 'panel of experts' are polled on [1]:

Health insurance

Standardised testing

Sports stadiums

Robots and artificial intelligence

California's Drought

These people are not experts on these topics. They're basically mathematicians. Most of them likely made their name proving facts about their mathematical models.
Remember that these are models that have a lousy track record describing the real world. And yet it sounds incredibly persuasive to run a headline stating "Economistis united on proposition X".

Here's a suggestion. Let's have a panel of experts, but we'll include one economist. We'll also include a social scientist, an engineer, a banker, a lawyer, a government policy wonk, and a social worker. The media can poll them, and might actually get a plurality of views.

Is this a service to encourage the distribution of proprietary software? Firmware ought to be built from source, like any other software that runs on my hardware.

I think it is dangerous to give legitimacy to proprietary software just because it doesn't get executed by the main CPU.
And not only German intelligence services. This is why most websites nowadays protect against pervasive monitoring by using TLS and ephemeral keys (including Posteo). Also the mail transport layer of most mail servers uses TLS-encrypted SMTP which is safe against pervasive monitoring (but may be affected by MITM attacks).

Some mail servers are set up or can be configured to not trannsmit or receive mails unless TLS protocol can be negotiated (I think mailbox.org allows users to enforce SMTP via TLS by using the domain secure.mailbox.org, not sure about Posteo).

I was commenting in the context of of the discussion, the article and the commentary (yours and the ones further up).

>>It's going to become increasingly expensive and politically complex to operate an Internet company at Internet scale. ...something something, incumbents will be fine. Like financial services, old media and other markets, the internet is at risk of becoming inaccessible in large part to upstart initiatives, commercial or noncommercial.
Ask HN: At what speed do you watch educational videos?
When learning a new technical skill, I'm noticing that the time I spend watching videos instead of reading books is growing. But I almost always consume videos at a speed of 1.25x or 1.5x or sometimes even more. I don't think I lose anything by doing this, in fact, I feel I can learn quicker this way, especially if the video is of high quality (I could be wrong). I rather pause a video when I need to think about something than playing it at the original speed. I find that curious and wonder what this means for how we communicate and learn.

Are you doing this also?
Concrete examples?
Linear regression is considered "machine learning" now?

And, no mention of the fact that gradient descent is unnecessary as there's a closed-form solution?

It could be a good illustration of how machine learning ideas apply to things the reader hopefully knows, but calling it machine learning itself seems a bit dubious to me.
I think there's value in completely ignoring the race.

I'm probably going to do this either in a language I'm learning as I go, or in something like Erlang which, whilst great to get correct, will not iterate as fast (for me at least) as the Ruby solution I could quickly and easily write.

I'm just a frontend engineer who dabbles in ML and cognitive science; my neuroscience experience is limited to a bachelor's degree and a couple years of lab work so I'm admittedly a lot more passionate than I am personally authoritative on the subject. The biggest influence on my thinking regarding intelligent systems generally is Douglas Hofstadter, but the notions of brain function I alluded to above are prevalent throughout a lot of computational neuroscience.

Why cognitive behavioural therapy works
Some good points in the thread already, but I'm surprised no one has mentioned this one: founder equity should vest over time.

If you don't think they need to vest, then imagine a future in which the business begins to work out. It's doing so well that you want to work your ass off to make your 25% worth even more. Imagine furthermore than your partner, despite owning 75%, can no longer spend any effort on the business. What do you want to happen at that point? Keeping putting in 100% of the effort, for 25% of the rewards?

I'm not sure what you mean by 'minimum salary', but it sounds like it would be better for you and for the company (but not for your partner) for that to be structured as an uncapped convertible note. The partner's could be given another convertible note in lieu of salary.
None of that belief has anything to do with bitcoin and nakamoto consensus.
I love working. I hope I create software to some degree as long as my brain works. I am below 30 and already reduced my work time to 'work when I want to' plus a few extra emails so retirement is by far not my main target right now. I basically am able to enjoy life right now to the fullest.

Only if one's goal is to convince people who can't be bothered to do the check for themselves. Otherwise one can just make the claim, and let others (if they are interested) sort out whether it's true.

Split up the physical register file so each pipe has it's own fraction of it, and have the register renaming logic "route" to the correct fraction? Well, that's what BOOMv2 partially does by splitting the INT and FP register files, so I guess I'm proposing splitting the INT file further [1]?

[1] This has probably been thought of and dismissed a million times over by actual experts. Say, losing whatever advantages it may have due to extra micro-ops needed to move stuff back and forth to the correct register file fraction?
This is not a matter of support, although I understand why it is convenient for Google to consider the issue from this point of view. $$$

The problem is that when a search engine has the overwhelming majority of the online search market, freedom of information has a strict dependence on the QoS of that engine.

Since people (at least in Europe) have a legal right to freedom of information, if Google is not providing support in this regard, then it's responsible for not respecting rights of European citizens.

edit:

Freedom of information is part of the Swiss constitution too.

Someone else commented on the semantic difference between the narrow definition of C++ as a specification and the looser "C++" as a part of the full stack.

With regard to the full stack, I tend to agree with you, at least in the academic environment. Organizations that don't have a lot of software engineers will shoot themselves in the foot if they focus on the C++ language rather than the infrastructure around it. An interactive notebook is great to teach someone to add a few lines of code here or there, or to run quick tests, but what we're lacking is people who understand how to plug their jupyter notebook into the production line.

If you think this you don't understand the technology, and therefore don't understand its value.
No, this is an entirely separate process. The wikipedia link you shared relates to content that is illegal in a country, so consequently Google does not show it. E.g. in my home country (Germany), this includes some types of Nazi propaganda. I would assume all other search engines follow the same rules.
All of our meeting rooms have computers with KVMs in case someone wants to use their laptop on the big screen.

If a company gets a big enough marketshare it's not that simple. If Google would have de-listed Protonmail just because "they could" that would be a problem (legal wise) in the EU. Since they also specifically target EU countries (google.nl) they also can't simply say they don't have to comply because they are based in the US.
I don't think you even understood the first sentence, or any other.
Sure. Svelte is getting ready to "disrupt the market". It differs from the rest in that it tries to do all the work at compile time.
Already there since this year @ 35, with kids. Previously retired at 23, with lower expectations. Don't consider myself a teacher - that was mostly luck.

However, common mistakes: Not demanding equity, not understanding equity and options, living in overpriced cities, thinking the latest technology is somehow more important than the one that stood the test of time.

I can't recommend the annual Venture Deals course from Techstars enough to really grok equity deals, as these are really where the money comes from, whether you are founding or an employee. In the US anyway, tax is an aberration.
On the other hand they don't need more than one good core.
"RTOS" is the term used to describe the core component of most embedded systems. Technically it should mean a scheduler that provides 'bounded latency' in scheduling operations. That means that if a certain (internal or external) event happens, the code to run it should happen with no more than a certain delay.

Embedded systems tend to be doing things that look more like real-time control applications. Let's say the processor is running a radio. It is important that certain requests form the radio hardware are processed quickly enough otherwise the data isn't ready to transmit in the time slot that it is meant to be in, and you don't meet the standard for that protocol.

In practice though, what people are actually wanting is an abstraction around the concepts of scheduling, and facilities like multi-tasking (with pre-emption), and facilities to communicate between tasks in a thread safe way. Mostly they don't need the 'hard' RTOS aspects (and so this is often referred to as 'soft RTOS').

To explain this a little - your traditional simplistic embedded app while look like 'while(1) {}' at the bottom of main. It will sit in a loop servicing the things that need to be serviced - pulling characters off a UART, waggling the line for the LED to make it flash on the right interval etc.. This is fine for a small app on an 8 bit processor but as embedded applications grow, you have a lot of functionality that is all tied up with each other. What an embedded scheduler does is put the main loop at the bottom of the dependency tree rather than the top - modules of code can be separated out and request themselves to be scheduled when necessary allowing for much cleaner separation, and more robust code.

Agreed about JavaScript's chaotic origins - I can feel that it wasn't designed as much as Ruby and ActiveSupport are, but with ES8 JS feels like it's paved over the shoddy foundations

- things that should have always been there, like array.includes() and multi line strings are there out of the box

- 'class' means you're not having elaborate discussions with newcomers about prototypal vs class based inheritance or asking them to writr elaborate boilerplate

- async and await makes JS feel similar to traditional direct style languages

Funny to read that a lot of young people expect to retire at 40.

A friend of mine did it, at 30. It sounded like a good plan. Living in a developing country with a small capital. Ten years later, he's broke, isolated, unable to travel or to access good medical care or even to provide good education to his daughter. At 40, after 10 years of doing nothing in a poor country, he has very limited options to make money.

Another thing to keep in mind is that retiring implies a change in lifestyle. Once you get used to a lifestyle, it's difficult to go back.

To answer the question, I think I'll retire the day where I'm unable to work. Hopefully not before my 60s.
True, but that's not really a 'single tap'. More like 'tap then wait until the slider appears then drag finger just the right distance'

If you respect the hardest privacy laws everywhere then you are fine, if you want to have different code paths like

I suggest to just respect the best/strongest privacy law, a good product is one that helps people do their work and gain more free time, I do not see how invading privacy will affect good products.
P.S. I am wondering what laws made it so today most emails have an Unsubscribe link at the bottom, this is such a good thing, I would hate some companies not adding it for the countries where it is not mandatory.
So Google deployed malware against... tens of millions of people?... in order to steal confidential data for profit, by bypassing security mechanisms on those devices as they interacted with Google servers, exceeding authorized access, and using installed code to track the activities of people against their efforts to raise technical barriers?

That sounds like an international criminal act on a scale most malware authors would wet themselves over.

It's also not surprising that the public is getting fed up with the wanton criminality that seems to be embodied by modern capitalism.

Class is a bit of a shambles. Yeah, it does make it easier to create constructors. But it also papers over the underlying prototype inheritance structure and can mislead beginners into assuming there is class system in place.

I hate Monsanto more than the vermin and weeds they poison. But your statement just isn't true. There are differences in organisms' metabolisms, and it's perfectly possible for one substance to be deadly to one (class of) species, yet harmless or even nourishing to others.

Take antibiotics, which kill bacteria but have mild-to-none effects on humans (and most of the negative side effects on humans stem from their killing of even beneficial bacteria).

Yeah I considered that and I am fine with it. But with a debit card dispute it is not like with credit card or paypal where they just take the money back from you and say too bad.
