It probably won't but if it shows an uptick for System76's business then you might see the other companies who actively ship systems that devs pay attention to doing the same. If the action ever gets Dell or Lenovo to follow, it's still progress.
The root problem here isn't US college charged too much for tuition? Education is a basic human right, and everyone should have chance to be educated. So the government should subsidize the education, including the undergraduate education.
>I also think regulation prevent exchanges from trading on their own exchange to avoid front-running and since they have lots of information about the users/deposits/etc...

hahaha, regulation. That is hilarious
Tencent got the chance to acquire WhatsApp before; they actually approached ahead of Facebook. It's a pity that their CEO had to go do that surgery.
The basketball coach at my alma matter is paid double what the university president makes. I think that's wrong. I am deeply in the minority, but I think universities should focus less money on athletics, and more on academics.
> It pays dividends

It doesn't pay dividends in ETH, it pays dividends in more kitties. Is that really a dividend?

If apple shares could only pay dividends in more apple shares instead of USD would they have any value?

> This is ethereum we are talking about. If the ether was bought 1 year ago today, it would have cost $1,557.1. Someone could have made a $1.5k investment 1 year ago which is now paying for itself weekly.

Ethereum at least has a purpose, cryptokitties do not seem to have one. Besides, you can't just say that the price of one crypto asset will go up because a different one has gone up in the past!

Yes, Tencent has been trying to break into other markets like India with little success, and they do have Chinese overseas users. But ask a Cambodian or a Vietnamese if they use Facebook or wechat, they are 100% going to say the former and not the latter.
i disagree. point by point:

* from 2014-2016, aetna's revenue has increased by 9%, its net income by 10%, and its stock price by 82%. i didnt check all the way back to the beginning of the current ceo's tenure, but id imagine it is a similar trend. stock prices and profitability are not as well correlated as wed like to think

* why do you say aetna adds no economic value to society? i understand if you have a high deductible plan with high premiums, it seems like health insurance is evil, but insurance companeis are required to pay out like 80% of the premium revenue they receive as medical benefits. so aetna pays something like $50B a year to pay for people's surgeries, child birth, medications, hospital stays, etc

if you dont think health insurance is valuable youve never been really sick
Could you elaborate? Are you implying that government in Poland is undemocratic?

MixPanel costs $X per month. That cost only increases.

They're generally great, except for the fact that the iOS client does not allow to send plain text emails. The settings are there, but broken (and have been for about two years). I've reported the bug to them, but they literally told me "it's too much work to fix".
Hi Mr. Schneiderman,

NY resident here. Thank you very much for your work. I'm proud to have you as our State AG.

In your view, do the fake comments delegitimize FCC's rule-making process, if the FCC does not delay the vote until after the investigation is over? And can the FCC's Net Neutrality decision (regardless of whether or not they vote to repeal NN) be challenged in the court, on the grounds that the integrity of its rule-making process has been seriously compromised?

Thanks!
all you say is correct but im not confused. node and npm is require to run many command line tools (grunt, gulp ...etc). I think this is an unnecessary overhead if we could get these tools to just be built as standalone command line tools and then we can just use bash. Im asking for a particular feature that comes from this environment that I dont have in bash? Why do I need this environment.

I have a sense that webpack is the same, its a bloated environment. I dont need an all in one solution for a build process. Just give me the tools, ill use bash and call it a day. So Im just asking, is there something Im missing? What is the feature from these environments that I can directly preform by calling a script from bash? Why cant we just pull that script out into a command line tool and then devs can use it to their liking, pipe its output to a folder, cat that file to soemthing else, call another tool to minify the results, move all the contents to the dist folder.

Node just doesnt seem to give me any more power as a dev (build wise), why is it so important to the space.

Hats off to frontend engineers, the space has evolved to something respectable but I feel like over engineering is a pursuit of community. Its like they keep making new tools, to encapsulate more features and then post on HN and say "Look at this cool new way to do things that fixes that problem you really didnt have".

No ones webpack was bottlenecking their work, im guessing you can choose what to build and when so you dont have to do a full build every time. No one is going to choose a build system because of its blazing speed. I would rather not have people work on these problems that dont really need to be solved.
Point of clarification: Pai was appointed to the 5 person FCC commission by Obama. He was named chairman by Trump. FWIW, the previous chairman, Tom Wheeler (ostensibly a Democrat), probably would've dismantled net neutrality if Obama hadn't come out strongly in favor of it.

I find it incredibly frustrating that people clearly see the need for referees in sports, but not in business. Nobody's saying that the NFL or the NBA would have better competition if there were no refs.
That is the major difference, mortgages had people underwater on actual physical things like property. They would go bankrupt and foreclose which would have a domino effect on other things.

Student loans are ignored in bankruptcy and there is no domino if they fail to pay since a degree isn't transferable to another person.

If there were to be a bubble burst, the people impacted are those that can't pay loans back and the institutions that handed out the loans. Sure there could be a backlash but a lot of those loans are from the Fed, right?

I would disagree. The first says that there is a concern both sides engaged in ballot stuffing while AG seems concerned by a single sides PoV.

The other more importantly is concerned with guaranteeing a triumvirate of gatekeepers doesn't guide discourse in one direction or the other.
It's significantly better in my experience. It's not perfect but you can actually have a plurality of opinions on a subject. I think the fact that the community is tighter and that low karma accounts can't actually downvote help massively. Also no visible scores which reduces the "gaming" aspect. I kind of wish HN would go a little further still and ration downvotes for everybody, it shouldn't be something you throw willy-nilly.

FYI, I think I see you using the P-256 curve in this project.

Word of warning, this is not Bitcoin's curve. This is a NIST curve.

If net neutrality dies, will innovation and businesses leave the U.S.?
Sorry if the headline sounds like clickbait...but honestly, if (or when) net neutrality dies, does that create some sort of incentive for small businesses (which are based on cheap-ish net availability/access) and start ups to begin looking for a better environment outside the U.S.? If i were to create a start-up from scratch, would I have better luck, say, creating it in Canada or Berlin for example? And, if the killing off of net neutrality does in fact create this sort of negative effect - small businesses leaving the nation in droves - what's the point of start ups if incumbent giants have too strong a hold?? Or, am i just over-reacting?

Curious to hear thoughts - even if to only settle my pessimism.
The problem with RE is not the values fell, it was that leverage was used to purchase properties as investments and when the underyling investments lost value, there was no reason to pay on the underwater mortgages. The bond explosion was an even bigger problem, magnified by huge leverage and shoddy ratings work.
There's a good midpoint of those two. Cap student loan payments at some fraction of your income for some fraction of your life. Those seem like reasonable restrictions for a loan that isn't dischargeable by bankruptcy.
"Potentially" but we can examine network activity and verify that it is not in fact sending data all the time.
Again, it isn’t his money. It isn’t his savings, it’s yours. People are all high and mighty about other people’s money, but shut up when it’s their own.

Apple doesn’t care so much about making stuff in china as it does sells stuff. It is their second biggest market, quickly becoming its first, and is very profitable. Taking china out of Apple would remove probably 50%+ of its market cap, Cook would be put in an insane asylum by his board very quickly.
> Anyway, pretty soon we'll have open source speech recognition, so I guess then you'll really have no excuses left.

What changes with an open source implementation? Your home-build device can be compromised as well, it needs mics as well. So, you'll gain nothing.

Are you questioning that Alexa/Echo works as advertised (waiting for a wake word) or are you not informed about how Alexa is supposed to work (out of the box, not compromised)?
Nice move, Atlassian, linking directly to this post from the promo email.
You may not be from the area but I used to live there and moved about 3 years ago.

The bigger issue is that these people have paid taxes for years to pay for these roads which already exist and are now being told they can't use the road without paying 10x more money. A road they paid for in the first place. This isn't a toll road built which was funded privately and is trying to make a profit.
Haha secretly? It couldn't be more obvious to me

Would you use a user authentication API that stored all user data localy
I want to take advantage of technology like indexDB to build something that would replace the "Login with facebook" buttons. Im just trying to find holes in the idea, if anyone wants to give me some thing to think about.

The basic idea is why should a site grab all the data from a place like facebook, when the user can just have all that data saved on their computer these days, and would never have to regitster or fill out a form again. Is someone else already doing this?
If javascript goes the ecosystem goes too.

In real applications we need to use social login, share, google maps, shopify buy SDK, S3, Azure speech API and so on. The javascript tools to access all of that are plain old ES5 at best. How will we use them from another language?

Libraries, too. Are we going to find ourselves writing our own custom dropdowns and datepickers in C++? Not to mention our own view update and state management libraries.

This is the reason there are next to none real world examples of web apps made in Elm. No communication with planet Earth.

I am not the target audience for this.

However, my first reaction was "yet another build tool, huh?"

My next thought was "...I must be getting old."
you can do that in a function preamble (constructor), too. Dependent types are derived from higher order logic, a thing many programs simply don't need if they are straight up first order logic in essence and the use would be constrained to refactoring for DRY KISS principles, but dependent types are probably not simple in comparison.
Since apparently it can be rooted without affecting the listening process, it should be possible to monitor writes in pure software.

I agree. Why is it that banks are able to charge 6.8% interest for student loans, but the government will provide banks with that same student loan money for 0.03% interest. The middle man adds no value.
Why does all coverage and outrage about this seem to ignore the fact that it used to be HOV ONLY before, and now HOV is still free? A $35 toll is still less than the $125 ticket you used to get if driving alone.
They did their part and Pai ignored them - flat out ignores them as if they don't matter

It's actually worse than that. He uses the imprimatur of the federal government and the commission he leads to ridicule opposing arguments. There's no honest and logical engagement; just the use of Twitterverse-ready phrases like "absurd", "desperate", and "utter nonsense".
> There is no WANT or DESIRES from the programs, there is no self-awareness where the programs ask themselves if what they are doing is right or wrong.

But when left to their own devices, they do some pretty interesting things. Since the mid 1990's I've been somewhat obsessed with the Zodiac Killer. On the History channel, they out together some of the best code breakers and started inputting data into a super computer they were programming to think like the Zodiac to break several of his ciphers which have yet to be broken.

Turns out one night, it started writing poetry in the vein of the Zodiac:

At the age of love, a love deranged,

A beauty from romantic interest,

The thought of love, and love became estranged.

Then the words of love became obsessed.

Surrounded by the troubled, by the thieving,

Confused and bruised and poisoned by the master,

Confused and blinded by the helpless scheming,

Confused and blinded by the dreadful slander…
Eh, they are quite different under the hood. To put it real simple (and probably quite sloppy): Prolog determines the output by applying logic. ML uses mathematics to analyze the input and "guesses" the output, based on the training set.

As a corollary: Prolog will negate anything that can't be proven true from the rules you give it. A ML algorithm will always give you some answer, though the quality depends on the learning data.

Can you briefly expand on what congress is capable of doing to delay or stop this?

I would like to be able to convey specific actions I want to see from my representatives, but I currently only feel comfortable asking "please do something!"

Are we to demand that they require the FCC delay the vote until your investigation has concluded? Do they have that authority?

I was under the impression that the telecom lobby was using the FCC as an end run around congress. What does a delay gain for us if those involved in the vote are beholden to lobbies, not citizens?

Thank you for taking the time to come here today, and for your involvement.
Well over half of my student loan balance is in parent loans. I pay my parents monthly to pay for the loan payment. My younger two siblings are oblivious to what kind of debt they have. Now, my parents are a few years away from retirement--at least they hope--and they will be burdened with paying my siblings student loan debt on a fixed income.
I've started emailing people if I like what they've written.

I haven't had any downsides at all, for my use cases. I've heard from a few folks that lack of "labels" is a bummer (if you rely on them in Gmail), and their mobile clients aren't quite as good (though I've never used them).
> To me the only downside is the mobile app isn't quite as polished as Gmail. It doesn't work offline, and I notice occasional bugs or awkwardnesses. But it's still very usable, and I much prefer the Fastmail web interface to Gmail.

But FastMail supports other clients, right? I don't want to be forced to use their web interface or their app; I'm happy with the Apple-written Mail apps.
It wasn't always HOV only. It is a road, paid for by taxes which used to be open for all. Then it became one lane HOV, then all lanes at certain hours and now the fees are through the roof.
Keep in mind the Ministry of State Security may have asked the Organization Department to suggest Tencent do this to acquire the social graph. The fact that there is investor enthusiasm only makes it easier. This is potentially equivalent to Yuri Milner's investment actions to launder Putin's money through YCombinator and get intel along the way.
God forbid we improve existing tools. What exactly is your problem here? Do you think we should all be using the Borland C++ compiler too?

Pretty much. Most of the complainers seem to be missing this fact.

There is a wrinkle, though. They slightly expanded the HOV hours at the same time they added the tolls. So there are some small windows where you could have (legally) driven solo previously and would now have to pay.
I think it actually is a for-profit toll road further west on the same road. We used to call it the Greenway IIRC.

... Which is exactly how things have worked in mainland China before Xi, under Xi, and will continue to work after Xi.

Xi is not 'less liberal' then his predecessors because he started repressing Hong Kong the exact same way that they repressed the mainland. I mean, this sucks for Hong Kong, but it's not like the CCP had a sudden change of heart under him - it just took them a few years (And a bit of an anti-mainland movement) to start flexing their political muscle in Hong Kong.

Why a Lot of Important Research Is Not Being Done
If traders lose faith in Tether, they would sell Tether and buy Bitcoin in a flight to safety. Bitcoin prices would rise as traders try to get out of Tether.

Conceivably, a crisis with Tether could affect confidence in the entire cryptocurrency ecosystem, which would put downward pressure on the Bitcoin exchange rate.

It's not clear which of these factors would dominate, so it's not clear what would happen to exchange rates.

But currently Tethers trade 1:1 for USD on multiple exchanges, so markets aren't showing evidence of lost confidence.

I'm not convinced, I haven't followed that particular event closely but as far as I know it was mostly about opposing the anti-science views of Trump and his administration. Given that he said multiple times that global warming was a chinese conspiracy I'm not sure this reaction is particularly extreme or uncalled for, regardless of your opinion on the topic. Using this to say that this million of people participating are adepts of scientism is a bit of a stretch IMO.

Using the same logic I could say that the 62+ millions of Americans who voted for Trump are climate change deniers but I don't think that would be fair either.
