What is your source for #2? Only a single market on the darknet currently accepts Monero (libertas). Monero currently lacks any multi-sig capabilities so it is useless for the newer distributed DNM systems such as openbazaar. At most Monero is used to obscure the trail of bitcoin as someone will buy some Monero with bitcoins puchased from a site like Coinbase and then sell those Monero back for bitcoin to avoid Coinbase banning their account for transferring to a known DNM Bitcoin address. Bitcoin is still used for the vast majority of DNM transactions.

Has anyone read the semantics of the linked partial application proposal [0]?

> Note that this also means that more involved references are captured in their entirety and should be stored in a local variable if they may have unintended side-effects should the partially applied function result be called more than once

const a = [{ c: x => x + 1 }, { c: x => x + 2 }];
let b = 0;
const g = a[b++].c(?);
b; // 0
g(1); // 2
g(1); // 3
b; // 2

`a[b++].c` is not evaluated until the partially applied function `g` is called. Event `a[b++]` and `b++` are not evaluated.

It is unclear to me when `const g = Math.random().toFixed(?)` would evaluate `Math.random()`.

The fees have also increased because of the large number of unconfirmed transactions (we currently have over 160k transactions in the mempool). Once that decreases to more reasonable levels the tx cost will decrease, too.
If it was totally open-source, if I could easily make it run a different binary, and if I could change the wake-word, it might become appealing.

Unfortunately, Alexa, Google Home/Assistant, Cortana, and Siri each fit none of those requirements.

I hear Mozilla is working on a speech recognition library. That might be workable.

It's crazy to me how much trust some people have in these systems. People on the whole seem to have totally given up on the idea of digital privacy, and I find that very concerning.
My impression of Plato is he channeled different people/characters in his writing in order to create adversarial conditions in which he could improve his rhetoric. Perhaps this is similar to AlphaZero's technique?
There are over 230 billion tonnes of lithium in ocean water. 1kWh of batteries requires around 200 grams.

Currently most of the lithium comes from brines simply because it's cheaper this way.
I like this observation. I like technology. But I love not using electronics sometimes. So many people forget to unplug.

Sometimes people get annoyed when I don’t answer immediately. “But I called you and you didn’t answer” Correct. I was busy or I was offline.
Is anyone else getting the same sense with Bitcoin as with Trump leading up to the election? Everywhere I go everyone has negative things to say, everyone is going on about how it's going to crash. They all seem like sensible arguments.

But here we are, Bitcoin keeps following an exponential curve and Trump is president. The one thing I know for sure is there's an awfully noisy signal out there.
So I guess we can abolish congress then?

Democracy contains a fundamental assumption that society is continually evolving. You're putting a lot of words in my mouth here. I don't think our current system is perfect, that does not mean I want to institute a dystopian centrally managed society. It means I understand the basic concepts of democracy, and nuance.

I don't think our current levels of wealth inequality are healthy or sustainable. Personally I'd like to see a wealth tax where you pay for the portion of the national economy you hold.
I’m curious why you couldn’t use the 2014 model anymore? I still use mine with the 750m and it works fine for testing the CUDA programming I do. Really hope there’s one with an Nvidia card by the time I decide to upgrade.

I have never ever heard of information symmetry being required for either the free market or capitalism.

I can't even find much on the subject compared to information asymmetry.

Luigi Zingales rather aptly described this as pursuing "pro-Business" rather than "pro-Market" policies: https://promarket.org/donald-trumps-economic-policy-pro-busi...
It is worth pointing out that the Toyota Prius, despite being a hybrid, is regularly featured as one of the most reliable cars out there, including regular ICE cars.
No, it's a question that I've heard stated on HN many times. The article addresses the question. Hence the relevance of the post and the title I gave it.
And capitalism is based on a free market.

Those who are opposed to regulation generally cite regulation as being in opposition to the free market.
I wonder what percentage of the individuals who are opining here know about Monero.
The Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act.

>A court has ruled (PDF) that an American citizen born in Ethiopia can’t sue his birth country for hacking his computer and monitoring him with spyware.

..

>Kidane sued the Ethiopian government for the FinSpy infection, for allegedly wiretapping his private Skype calls, and for allegedly monitoring his entire family’s use of the computer over the course of months.

..

>The US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit on Tuesday ruled that foreign states are immune from lawsuits in a US court unless an exception to the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act (FSIA) applies.

>Kidane had alleged that the wrongdoing was transnational. The court rejected that as an exception to the FSIA, saying that Ethiopia would still have immunity unless the wrongful act – the “tort” – took place entirely in the US.

>From the ruling:

>"Ethiopia’s placement of the FinSpy virus on Kidane’s computer, although completed in the United States when Kidane opened the infected e-mail attachment, began outside the United States. It thus cannot be said that the entire tort occurred in the United States."

>The EFF says it’s mulling a challenge to the ruling. But as it now stands, US citizens have no legal recourse if foreign states hack their devices remotely, as long as they do most of that hacking abroad instead of on US soil.

I've been a designer for 12 years and have no trouble getting hired, and my resume is basically 100% letters. The people who let infographic gimmicks distract them from traditional indicators of competence are not people you want to work for, generally.
Proof of work must be impossible to cheat, and easy to verify. Can't make issuing money as easy as printing paper.
Currying is one of those things I haven't grokked completely. And, shit, I just used grok as a past tense verb...

I'm not sure if i just haven't drunk enough koolaid or if curriers are beyond the pale.
That is the point of the article though. If most of transactions are going through exchanges, Bitcoin is not being used as it's supposed to.
I use my MBP with 4 different external monitors (all different types, Apple, Samsung, Acer and Dell), two at a time, and it almost always works. Once in a blue moon something glitchy happens, not sure if that's reasonable performance or extraordinary performance given I haven't seen any other platform do as well.
Can you give an overview of or pointers to critiques? My prior is that Krugman is more likely to by correct than the average crypto person, even after adjusting for interest in and attention to crypto.

On the other hand, people are doing just that. So perhaps Amazon is a genius in that regard. Same thing with their key service.
I think I read this too much from people saying bitcoin will work... "sure it sucks now, but it will have all the features you want in the future!", and hah, as you say, but no one is actually working on those features, and indeed 100 people probably have 100 different wishes and if they're a bitcoin-belieber they think bitcoin will get all those wishes.

Just like how Trump will make America great again, with "great" being defined differently in around 63 million heads.
I think OP was trying to express that "every single time" these rules are turned down, it is with the idea that any regulation harms the free market, which OP clearly explained is not the case.

The fact that some rules did get implemented does not detract from that.
I checked out the link you shared. That was an extremely in-depth read. I will have to get back to you on the judgeships, because I do not really comprehend it that well after my first read.

I wanted to ask you about this and why it is not more known to the common person
>In addition to the problem of unpublished opinions sketched above, another scandal plagues the administration of justice litigants in America face today – the problem of administrative law judges (ALJs).
You don't have to build from scratch. You can build apps quickly using native code that are more performant, secure, and work better, and white label it with custom graphics and features.

But they should actually do things and add value to your business. Most of these banned apps did very little other than display web views and images.
Webpacker is an anti-pattern: pollute the ruby sphere with JS and pollute the JS sphere with Ruby because you don't wanna read the Webpack tutorial.

If you buy directly from the airline, it shows bag fees. If you are buying through a third party website, you can easily look up the airline's website and see the domestic and international baggage policies and fees before you buy. If you are ever confused, you can call the free customer support. Why is specific regulation forcing information to be presented a certain way necessary?
Coinbase, and similar sites, may as well be Bitcoin for the average ("retail") investor. It's far too complicated, not to mention resource intensive, for the average Joe to set up and run his own node.

My uncle wants to "invest" in Bitcoin. He wants to trade it like a stock. You seriously think he's going to mess around with private keys and wallet pass phrases? Many technical people can barely handle that.

And, yes, for a lot of today's youth, Facebook is the internet experience. The Internet experience, for me, was telnet, gopher, and Usenet news. We're along way from those days.
I've thought that it would be nice to have some actual assurance that the thing is not listening. Your post put it into my mind that you could hook it up to a Clapper https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3lBWjLJeKkQ and then you wouldn't need to be physically near it to turn it on, say "alexa wyd" and then turn it off.

But then, this is 2017 and batteries are light, tiny, and very powerful, so you would still want to take apart the physical device that got shipped to you to verify that it doesn't have batteries in there.
I've never quite understood this. Why not have the gas engine simply drive a generator which charges the batteries / drives the electric motors, like a diesel-electric locomotive? Then there's no dual drivetrain issue.

Even for an all-electric car, it'd be nice to have a small gas engine to drive a generator to charge the batteries if you're too far from a socket.

Hello Ruby is beloved by my daughter, and yes, teaches the concepts without ever really mentioning computers in much depth.
Well maybe you should not judge from comments then.

Reporting bugs and HN discussion is obviously not the same, at all. I know how to make bug reports and have not had bad experience like those on mozilla's bugzilla anywhere else, well maybe on gnome bugzilla and occasionally here and there because over 20 years of reporting bugs you are deemed to have the occasional bad experience.

I'm not saying your experience was bad or even close mine, I'm only talking for myself here. Maybe I have been impacted with some of the most controversial bugs and you've not, maybe I'm actually more in a niche segment of the user base than you are.

Anyways thanks for judging and misjudging my person based on assumption, it always nice to be targeted by passive aggressive online message from a random stranger.

The fun part in your comment is that constructive minded people do not expect or ask of bug reporters to offer to maintain something for they understand that reporting bugs is actually very constructive in itself, a helpful and much needed activity. Instead of antagonizing bug reporters try working with them, as "we're both in this working together to improve something for everyone". Assume good faith instead of malice and to understand that this an actual person reporting the bug and cut the patronizing, it will help. If you do not feel capable of doing that, just say nothing it will be more constructive.
I don't fly, so I'm just kind of curious if, in the US, we've reached the point where it's cheaper to mail your luggage to the destination if you have time.

I mean, the Wikipedia article you linked about information asymmetry characterizes it as a cause of market problems and inefficiencies, including adverse selection ("The Market for Lemons"). To say that you need information symmetry for the market to work well is just another way of saying the same thing - at least in the kinds of situations described.
I dunno the nuances in America, but from an Australian perspective; this sort of rule is a great target for removal, it is too prescriptive. It would be better to have a rule 'costs must be clearly identified to consumers before the time of purchase' and then hit everyone with it.

Companies have to comply with regulation. That literally means they need to have a person who audits that the rule is being complied with (amongst other compliance duties). If the rule is not being complied with, someone must fix it even if the airline ticket would be easily comparable without the rule. Management must put valuable time and attention into this process because they are obliged to comply with the rules.

On the other hand, the government has to check the rule. They have to read it, interpret it and enforce it. If they don't then why exactly bother having it?

Less rules (but still clear, and possibly with guidelines that while not strictly mandatory are /strongly recommended/) is easier to audit and enforce.
Coremltools works with existing pretrained models. It converts existing ml models. You don’t have to train one to use one. I assume that this project packages it easier .
> I find it remarkable how little the tech world talks about software sales, given how central it is to everything we do. Sales is the whole reason we build anything; it’s how we assign value to what we do.

Nope, not for consumer products. SF doesn't talk about sales because consumer products don't need sales at first.
The absence of information symmetry is one of the causes of what economists call 'market failure'.

Here is an example frequently used in introductory microeconomics courses: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Market_for_Lemons

In this example, information symmetry would be better for the majority of market participants, and no worse for the remainder.
1., 4., and 8. - it's free. There is no pricing, no income to pay for a domain or paid feedback.

2. It will load slower, and not work on all platforms.

3. You're supposed to copy-paste. There's lots of examples in the blog or other links from the headings.

5. and 6. Example video to inspire me?

7. That's useful, thank you. What if the landing page is a subpage? e.g. The blog.

Clash of Clans used to have an enormous Arabic contingent with the high-end upgrades.

I once calculated what it took to have a fully upgraded base within a week (New Level 11--if I remember correctly ...) and it was something like over a million dollars.

And there were multiple fully upgraded bases within a week. Now that's a whale. o_O!
"Intellectual-yet-idiot" is remarkably like the phrase "educated stupid" from Time Cube fame.

Perhaps you can write a patch or mitigate effects of (say) an OpenSSL bug. I can't. Certainly not for the myriad of devices that embed well known libraries in firmware images that I don't get to modify myself.

I'd much rather that those things which are remotely exploitable across millions of devices to be kept quite for a small period of time (30-90 days depending on the complexity of the fix required) so that I can get patches from our vendors and schedule an update at the first available opportunity.

You might call it security through obscurity, I call it keeping shit from burning down.
The bank isn't creating that money. When you deposit $1000 in a bank account, you lose that $1000 and gain 1000 FunnyMonies instead. The bank can then turn around and give that $1000 to someone else. At the end of the day, there's only $1000 running around.

What makes it look different is that we treat 1000 FunnyMonies as if it were $1000. So instead of saying "there's $1000 and 1000 FunnyMonies" we say "there's $2000, oh look, the bank created money." But it hasn't, and when the difference really matters, and the bank doesn't have the ability to give you back $1000 for your 1000 FunnyMonies, that's when bad things happen.
I'm afraid to try Swift on the server. On one hand I love it and am very productive in it. On the other hand, if I build anything commercial out of it have I coded myself into a trap? How easy is it to use Mongo, or some real database? How much open source code is out there to help build web servers with restful APIs?
Because the prospect of "US conditions" is terrifying, to the point that "US conditions" is actually a term used in politics in some European countries used to scare voters with the thought of what happens if you let the right wing run rampant over public services.

Sounds like garden variety ignorance.
> it's technically possible they really do

That's not the problem; it doesn't matter if your particular device is listening at any particular time. Using an always-on microphone normalizes the expectation that audio in the home might be sent to a 3rd party's remote server. This is important because Kyllo v United States created[1] a bright line test for when a technology is a "search".

Normalizing audio eavesdropping technology in previously private areas will eventually mean use of that technology is not a search, and thus the police/etc can use their own device with similar technology without a warrant to see "details of a private home that would previously have been unknowable without physical intrusion"[2].

The Downloadable Brain: We're Closer Than We Think to Immortality – Literary Hub
Yea, I know the ideology. I was criticizing it. It's foolish to believe that under conditions of regulatory capture, which is incentivised by capitalism and made possible by gross inequality putting power into few hands, that capitalists will do anything other that accrue capital at all costs.
I think we are in agreement here. The scenario I was envisioning assumed heavy traffic. I completely agree that failure to keep right is as dangerous and unlawful as excessive speeding.

I would definitely be in support of higher posted speed limits if, as in Germany, it also came with stricter driver training. Sadly I don't see that happening in the US.

Still I don't think it was fair to call me a troll.
Classical liberal, yes.
Toss a network sniffer in and see what traffic is going from the echo device out and when. Probably won’t see the contents in a meaningful way, but will be able to see how much and when.

Open it up. Check to see if there is a signal from the microphone to the main board when the mute button is enabled. Or trust one of the tear down videos. https://www.reddit.com/r/amazonecho/comments/5lc5q5/effectiv...

It's just a function returning another function. Like if you made a function that took x as its argument and returned a function that took y as its argument and added that to X and then you called it like add(2)(3). Or for a real world example check out $interpolate in angular 1.x.
