Achieving data communication using push buttons requires us to address two unique challenges: 1) we need a mechanism to identify the beginning of a packet, and 2) since users can push buttons at different speeds, we need an algorithm

I'm in the same situation. Fairly healthy until 4 years ago when I discovered my kidneys were failing due to a autoimmune condition. Something that is not discovered early because you feel totally fine until things go really bad. Now I've reached the point I need dialysis and a kidney transplant. Yet I continue to work, pay taxes and would like to continue having affordable health care for my family and I.

Also people don't think about two other high risk pools... women of childbearing age and very young children. If the heath care market is broken up many groups of people will be affected.
I'm excited about digital money. What could the effect be of a boom and crash? If bitcoin had some kind of algorithmic central bank mechanism, low transaction costs, and didn't spew CO2, I'd be in love with it. I'm half in love with Ethereum, although something there doesn't quite feel right yet, either.
Not better, just different. On Coinbase you can buy in one step and lock in a price before your bank transfer clears. You can't do that on GDAX. It's a multi step process where you have to deposit money first before you can think about buying. You also don't have to worry about slippage or different order types on Coinbase. It's all abstracted away for you and very simple.

I've run into all sorts of bugs which made the site annoying to use.

1. My bank account has a 5000$ limit and my credit card has a 750$ limit. After spending 1000$ from the bank (which takes a week), I wanted a quick 50$ from my CC, but it said I was already past the 750$ limit.

2. When trying to recover an older account, the recovery keeps asking for my phone number but isn't sending me texts properly. If you say you lost your phone, you can submit id+selfie, but to get to that step, you need your phone??

3. If you reset Authy, it removes your Coinbase token, and tells you to contact their support. They're very slow as responding, and after a week, I was just told to use my phone number (which again, goes back to #2)...

There isn't anything wrong with tax avoidance.

Additionally some debatably large portion of tax money is wasted or spent on things you completely disagree with, no matter what your political perspective.
Lol sounds like a “correction” you’d see on The Onion. What a sign of the times.

You wait and see what happens when coinbase has 500 billion or a trillion dollars worth of hard currency on their platform, and the us dollar is three years into its slide. The temptation to raid that will be far too great.
Yes, I wonder how much time if any people predicting our coming doom and the death of every job ever have spent working with the bleeding edge technology of AI but... it's not much better than AI has been for the past several decades.

Data sets have gotten significantly larger, which makes predictive statistics based off it better.

The professors I've talked to/studied under who work on AI certainly do not share the same concerns.

The definition of exterior power doesn't rely on a basis. The k'th exterior power is the quotient of the k'th tensor power by things of the form (v_1 ⊗ v_2 ... ⊗ v_k), where two of the v_i are equal. I'm assuming you know how to define a tensor product without resort to bases. If not, see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tensor_product#Definition (it's not the clearest exposition of it, but it'll do)

(Or, if you like, you could define the tensor algebra, take a quotient of that to get the exterior algebra, and then restrict to the image of the k'th tensor power to get the k'th exterior power.)

Again, obviously you need to use bases to prove how to compute the dimension of an exterior power. But you don't need them just to define it.
Ethereum has better use case than Bitcoin with it's smart contract implementation. Though the fallout of crypto kitties is proving that improvements can still be made.

I grew up in a deeply GM oriented household. Ridiculous devotion IMO and it stemmed from my dad's 1960s car era timeframe. Switching brands depends on the person's priorities. I certainly would love to continue buying domestic but GM has been horrendous to me from a corporate standpoint. Long story but I just want something that's reliable and I've sworn on Mary Barra's (now defunct) blog that I'll never buy GM again. I'm a man of my word.

I won't be buying another domestic at all again for gassers. If I get another ICE it'll be a Honda Civic, always liked them and they finally have a hatchback which is my preferred style. That said my wife just got a Suburu Crosstrek and my next car is a Tesla Model 3. I'm expecting fit and finish and maybe minor issues with the Tesla but overall I believe it's time to move to electric and never look back.

I don't say this too often about too many things but I'm very eager to hand Tesla money as I believe in the mission(s) that Musk is on. Tesla being a domestic corporation doens't hurt at all either. I don't own any stock.
You don't have to provide your credentials if you don't want to -- it's just much faster that way.

On that page, instead search for your bank, and in the event it or whatever you're searching for doesn't come up, select the "Enter manually" option, and it'll do the old PIN-via-two-sub-dollar-deposits confirmation trick. It'll take a couple days, but it works.
I dunno, are we happy with the status quo? Making money is nice, but I miss being able to use bitcoins to buy things.

First off because when you give something away you can't write it off for a loss meaning they have to sell it for something which they are, $200.

Coinbase offers both options: bank username & password or routing & account numbers. If you choose to provide bank username & password, verification is instant. If you choose to provide routing & account numbers, verification via deposit/withdrawal of small amounts takes days.
I was just wondering, given the record prices - how soon will we hear about a hack? And here we are.

Though I wonder why the announcement says:

> We are working to verify the precise number of BTC taken.

While the article says:

> A wallet address circulated by NiceHash users shows that more than $60 million of bitcoins might be affected, according to CoinDesk, the cryptocurrency research and news website.

Are you sure? How big was the original Unix team? I suspect it's smaller than Microsoft's Windows team is these days.

If anything, I think you have larger software teams now than ever before.
Fair point, I didn't realize that the Philippines were predominantly Christian.

I really didn't want to go about defending Christianity necessarily, though I realize that is how the beginning of my comment turned out, but rather point to how we shouldn't generalize the problem into a certain religion being responsible for problem.

Thanks for helping me understand the punitive issue in more detail.

How ironic..
It's good to see the Go authors spending more of their time implementing a system using Go.

It should inform any deeper changes with Go 2, hopefully.
Fundamentally, I see programming as the task of describing what a computer should to. The way we create these instructions have definitely changed during the past 20 years, especially with the large open source movement and stuff like pip and npm. We have higher levels of abstraction now, the LEGO blocks we assemble are larger and more reusable.

In my experience it feels like most of the low hanging fruits, when it comes to abstractions, already have been picked. The databases, ORMs, web servers, UI-frameworks, parsers/encoders, crypto stuff etc. are all pre-built LEGO pieces I use and connect with each other. And it feels like the connection part is my main job.

I would predict that we code mostly in the same way in 2040 as we do now, with the approximately same level of abstraction, but with much better tooling. I want an AI that can continuously read my code as I write it and tell me when I've done a stupid misstake and turned the LEGO block the wrong way.

Also isn't a main problem of professional software development to understand what another human wants me to instruct the computer to do? If my project leader / customer can't manage to instruct another human on how the program should work, can we expect an AI to do better? Of course, the AI can respond quicker on Slack, and ask questions based on knowledge it has from previous projects and have sane defaults based on experience, but still. I'm sceptical.
If the expenses rise, so do the prices.

Not sure I understand. If expenses rise, housing prices fall, not increase.

And yes, a landlord might say "my expenses went up so rent will go up as well". However, the market sets prices, not landlords. He might raise the price, the tenant leaves and his place sits empty.

There are plenty of people out there losing money as landlords because their rents are higher than what people will pay.
Is it possible to know with those breaches if it was truly stolen by a hacker, or if it was stolen by them or someone internal?
Everything has some degree of risk. Truer words can't be spoken. And sure, diversification is the only one free lunch, they say.
But could US Treasuries be riskier than Bitcoin, under any scenario? Even if an EMP attack wiped out North America, or Washington DC and New York were both nuked, I'm not so sure. But those are the kinds of scenarios that might make it possible. Something where the United States ceased to exist. In those cases, would Bitcoin survive? Good sci-fi material.
I think the comments here could do with being put in a little perspective. There are programmers reading HN (well, all programmers) for whom one important way they can improve as a software engineer is to improve their powers of abstract thinking. You people who have studied advanced mathematics, any of it, are exceptionally skilled at thinking abstractly. I think there’s a risk of underestimating how useful that is in software engineering.

They aren't more valuable, they just have a better bargaining position due to availability of other high paying jobs near them. The value an employee generates doesn't directly determine their salary; it is more of an upper-bound. Their salary is mostly determined by what the employer's next best option of employee is and what the employee's next best option of employer is.
> The databases, ORMs, web servers, UI-frameworks, parsers/encoders, crypto stuff etc. are all pre-built LEGO pieces I use and connect with each other.

Keep in mind there is far more programming than Web programming in the world. It's important to keep that perspective when ruminating on programming at large, and based on the pieces you mentioned, it sounds like you're limiting yourself to that mindset. (That's OK.)
If you're handling millions of bitcoins, belonging to other people, I would go with something more hardened than a Trezor. Hardware Security Module with M of N authentication... Use that as a main vault. Keep a smaler number available as liquid. I don't understand why this isn't common sense among these people.

>I agree, the level of abstractions will just change. We might end up writing something more like formal logic in a declarative language and the AI will then implement and optimise it.

We've tried. The problem with layers of abstraction is that they're leaky, and don't always work.

For example, simple SQL is easy. Optimizing SQL requires intimate knowledge of your db engine.
The limits are different for everyone and they go up as time goes on and you have successful transactions with them. To avoid waiting you can transfer USD into Coinbase ahead of time and then the buy will confirm instantly when you choose to do the transaction.
They claim it will come from a huge economic boom which will be unleashed by cutting corporate tax rates.

However, a proposal to automatically undo some of the changes if the "guaranteed to pay for itself" plan fails was scrapped. I'd rather have challenged those claiming the cuts would pay for themselves to put up or shut up: force retirement if the growth didn't appear.
Well I meant "safe" in the way that a Normie would think is safe. IE, similar security guarantees that a bank would provide.

Obviously, this makes no sense to a cryto enthusiast, because they care more about the stuff you talked about.

But the "average" zero knowledge person who freaks out about how Bitcoin is "unsafe" is usually talking about private key theft, or getting scammed by someone. These "unsafe" things aren't a problem on coinbase.
ACH does not work in read or in write-only mode. Once you provide someone your ACH info, they can deposit you money.. or empty out your bank account!

I had few rough service providers who tried to come up with some magical charges (technical fee of $500 per year) after agreement was signed and had to change bank numbers to make sure they wont take the money out since it would be more than $500 to fight them in court.

The company is called EMS Merchants btw.. you can read horrible stories of merchants screwed by them in this way via ACH on online forums.
> It's a bit trickier when the dimension is infinite

For those who are wondering, 'every vector space has a basis' is equivalent to the Axiom of Choice.
Do many Bitcoin boosters even care about BTC becoming a currency any more? Seems it has achieved much more success as a frenzied medium of global speculation than it ever dreamed of as a stable digital currency.
The availability part is addressed if you use this approach for a larger "vault" wallet that doesn't need to make withdrawals often.
So not safe but just say it is.
Just wanted to say that I appreciate your candidness and well trained and level headed perspective on an issue that many of our peers opt for hysterics over.
the only problem is that btc is broken and it's become a "store of wealth". digital gold if you will.
How much sunlight does the Arctic get?

I've seen discussion that the heat lost from the relatively warm ocean water when not covered by ice exceeds the additional heat absorbed by low albedo, suggesting that lack of ice cover is actually a net negative feedback.

I have no personal calculations as to the magnitude of either effect, but I am skeptical of positive feedback loops, as they are inherently unstable. Note that we get significant ice loss every summer, followed by rapid gains in ice, which seems to cast doubt on the significance of any positive feedback.
And merchants.

Giraffe was trained until convergence. Maybe if there was more compute power then, a different model would have been used, but that's deep into the world of silly hypotheticals.
Right. It's kind of interesting how in all of these definitions the "easy" way involves using a basis. (Although we could argue about what the "easy" way is.)
What the fuck? There is no way, never, ever, that I would even consider doing that. How the hell is it a good idea for any company to try to convince people that it should be normal to share login credentials with a third party for any service, much less something as sensitive as one's bank account? That's just training people to get scammed.

Thoughts on EOS?
But that is the case for almost anything. Exceedingly few things are things you need to do right then, right there, or even at all.

For some it is more important, and they won't yield, but some proportion will doing something because the cost of doing it is low enough that there's no reason not to.

In that case giving a reason creates a cost in persisting in that you need to consciously think through whether or not it's worth arguing over, and if so what to respond. And sometimes that is enough that you'll just shift your focus to something else and not bother.

I have no doubt the effectiveness will vary greatly depending on type of action, and that it will vary greatly depending on other factors tied to why people wanted to carry out a given action in the first case, of course, but I also think people ask for or do a lot of things where they have not really made a conscious decision that they need it, just decided on a whim that there's no reason not to ask.

Especially with group dynamics involved, it might have been as simple as someone asking a question in a meeting ("do we need the source?" for example) and someone deciding "might as well ask for it, just in case", with nobody actually caring enough to defend it i you stand up to the demand. In that case the need is low enough that even a totally inane excuse for saying no might stand up even if it on the surface looks like a big, important question.
It is pretty funny how the original value proposition of "being your own bank" given in the bitcoin whitepaper, which is necessitated by actually possessing the private keys, has gone out the window due to convenience and a lack of understanding of the fundamental blockchain technology by speculators. Coinbase is central in these facts.
My experience with unit tests is that they force a developer to think through their logic. So the tests themselves,once passing don’t help that much (though a little), but the act of writing them did have high ROI. The coverage metrics also help management understand what is baked.
It still does via Fines which directly hurt shareholders. The real problem is the fines rarely add up to a significant percent of a companies liquid assets let alone value. Thus, when the penalty is vastly lower than the direct gains, it just promotes bad behavior.

Really, you need to spread the pain across every level from grunt to CEO to shareholder. With relative culpability based on influence on and benefit from such behaviors.
So if I have no preference of my own, you'd suggest Angular over React? I want to get the product out soon and focus on generating business value rather than the framework itself.

I worked for a large (Billion dollar company) online gambling place, its not all that remarkable.

They make lots of money, free food, all the perks. I spent time building their hadoop cluster and writing spark jobs. Just to do fairly mundane things (over 10s of billions of rows), find fraudsters, ensure compliance, optimize return amounts, optimize bonus schemes.

People were mostly young (at 30 I was one of the oldest devs) lots of red tape and crappy slapdash systems. Frankly anything outside the big-data team I was on was held together with duct tape, string and bubblegum.

Nothing super unethical (apart from some of the relentless optimization I guess)
