I remember discovering Crystal 3 or 4 years ago and loving the concept but waiting for the language and tooling to mature. It looks like years later a lot of people are still in this same boat.

While Ruby took app development by storm, I feel the pendulum shifted towards microservices with statically compiled binaries. But Go can be overly cumbersome for simple projects with a "role your own everything" mentality.

I hope Crystal 1.0 bridges the gap and can provide the portability of compiled binaries with the beauty and speed of development of Ruby.

Yes, I should emphasize that the minor differences are really minor and mostly typographical. There's no reason to need the published copy over the draft unless you're IBM working on icc, one of the head gcc maintainers, etc.
One things Marijuana legalization has done is decrease opioid usage in states that have legalized it. It has also reduced drunk driving rates. Of course taxes are nice, and removing the money from the underworld is a big win too.
Yes, lists are lists. However, the DGA's list is not so different:

1. The Godfather
2. Citizen Kane
3. Lawrence of Arabia
4. 2001: A Space Odyssey
5. Casablanca

2001 falls apart with that impenetrable ending and I rather like 2001. However, I can't watch it nearly as often as any of the other movies on that list. Once a decade maybe.

Yes, but how ironic that the sinister Nazi officer was played by a German actor who opposed the Nazis and fled his country for fear of persecution of himself and his Jewish wife (Conrad Veidt, also the inspiration for the Joker character in the Batman franchise).
I don't understand how anything you're saying addresses the fact that Amazon is deliberately sabotaging their product for users of Google hardware. Years of consumer complaints haven't solved the issue. So what's the resolution? I'm not saying this is a great move by Google, but if it results in Amazon finally supporting my Prime membership to the same extent it does for Fire TV owners, then I'll take it.

Any citation on fewer handguns, fewer deaths? Violent crime actually increased in the UK after they banned guns despite near simultaneous expansion of police funding.

These issues aren’t as simple as you might imply. The demographics of Sweden are different than those of Chicago or Matamoros. Conroe, Texas has very high gun ownership and very low violent crime. New York has very low gun ownership and relatively low violent crime.

Cancer death rates are higher in the UK compared to the US despite “universal” healthcare in the UK.

It’s naïve to draw simplistic cause-effect conclusions and it’s intellectually dishonest to suggest that policies that work in Lisbon would work at a similar level of success in Los Angeles.

To be clear, I am all for decriminalization of drugs, however suggesting that policies will have similar effects in different regions or countries is to ignore the thousands of other variables at play.

Eh. It's still searching many fewer positions than Stockfish is.
That expectation is purely based on anti-drug propaganda. In every published study, the legal availability of marijuana reduces usage of other, harder drugs. It even reduces usage of alcohol. It is in the statistics of study after study.
Optimize for least amount of challenging classes, impose huge monetary penalty for risk taking. Sounds like you're doing a stand up job in parenting.
For the people including Marijuana in these arguments alongside METH and other hardcore MAN-MADE narcotics, maybe you forget that weed can basically grow anywhere, is a plant, and is not man-made.

The article has a clear focus on heroin and meth (drug usage that can be associated with the sharing of needles) and not so much worried about Marijuana.

Also, for those who may not know, just because you legalize a drug doesn't mean druggies will be in the workforce. Just because a drug is legal doesn't mean a company has to hire someone that does the drug. For example, I had my medical marijuana card in California, however, companies still denied me jobs when the pee came back dirty.

No, we shouldn't copy Portugal's drug policies.
> Politically it's a difficult problem, because the old solution of making more money available is getting out of hand, but what politician wants to stand up and tell people they can't go to the college of their dreams just because they can't afford it?

Presumably the same politicians that were around when foreclosure mania (a la 2008) occurred and ultimately were forced to change regulations that now make it much more difficult to get away with issuing subprime loans. Or in your line quoted above, substitute "college of their dreams" with "home of their dreams." The net effect, of course, is that those politicians are now telling people they can't get the home of their dreams because, gasp, they can't afford it.
I know you're being facetious, but in many states legally yes, provided you're caught in the act.

Some day soon someone will release an operating system that does very little and runs on very tiny conputers, but focuses on doing the right things. Doing things that are impossible due to the “layer cake” architecture and “pro” coding tools that are the norm in the software industry.

It will look like a toy, and Hacker News will dismiss it, until they realize that teenagers are using it to write AIs and send functions via SMS and do all kinds of things that require no real computer power, just that the system was designed for such things from the start and the developer prioritized them over “running arbitrary android applications” and “multiprocess architecture” and “allowing web sites to run stupid code” and other things that are inconceivable to omit.

The problem with data caps is that it makes people afraid to use any new service that requires a significant amount of data, especially when they can't easily count the data that service will use, which is usually the case.

The other problem with data caps is that they aren't a good description of bandwidth use. Bandwidth isn't a bucket of water that runs out after a certain amount has been poured. Bandwidth is the maximum flow rate of pipes connected to an infinite reservoir. Capping transfer speeds makes sense, because there is only so much that can be delivered during the same period. Capping transfer amounts doesn't make sense, because that kid streaming 10TB of torrents can push most of her bandwidth usage to off hours like 3am on a Wednesday, rather than getting it all during peak hours like 8pm on a Friday.
"the bank of middle-class parents" is not a real bank. It's your parents. You can pay them whenever (and you most likely never fully/really will, and that's ok). Your opportunity cost might be true and might be "I can't help support my family on a part time job".

Your situation might not be extremely rarefied, but I don't think you grasp the immensely insurmountable advantage you have in this scenario.

When you have prominent social scientists arguing that pointing out statistical errors in papers is "Methodological Terrorism" (http://andrewgelman.com/2016/09/21/what-has-happened-down-he...), I call that junk science.

And if social scientists want to "help legitimize science as a process, critial thinking, and to debunk illogical arguments.", they should start with fixing their own reproducibility crisis and p-hacking crisis before instructing other people on science as a process.
The fact that things work differently outside of the US yet most foreign countries still haven't adopted it suggests that none of your purported reasons are the primary cause.

They almost certainly are tiny things with very small marginal contributions when countries as varied as Russia, Australia, Sweden, Poland, Singapore, and Switzerland -- who don't have of the factors you mention -- also have failed to follow Portugal's innovation.

I rarely downvote clear and well-written comments just because I disagree with them, but feel I need to make an exception here. Your "1" is true, but you prefaced it by claiming that it was one of the "major things" the parent was missing. I'm pretty sure he wasn't missing this, as indicated by the sentence "This uptick has been benign because its been limited to Marijuana".

Number "2" adds useful distinctions regarding the Portugese approach, but I don't think there is any basis for your statement that "People who do not have some kind of mental illness do not use hard drugs frequently". This is tautologically true if you define addiction as mental illness, but would you really claim that no one regularly uses heroin because they became addicted to after starting with prescription painkillers, rather that they use it regularly only because they have an underlying non-drug related mental illness?

We don't use the 100 points of ID system of course, because we're an online service. The 100 points of ID is something that's used in person to decide whether you can open a new bank account using that name.

No. DM only occasionally releases software. Expert iteration is simple enough that someone can code it up on their own and there's already a few clones, so if anyone cares to train their own, it's doable, although it may take a while.

Each of the topics provide different value to different parties. The crux of the matter is noticing this type of distinction.

For example, Bitcoin seems to provide independence from the Banking Establishment, which alters what sorts of activities are funded.

Industries such as the Military Industrial Complex, Big Agriculture, & Big Pharma has largely been co-opted by established interests. Public Relations is utilized to convince people to adopt philosophies that are friendly to these industries while not looking out for their own interests.

On the surface, there seems to be a dialectic between decentralized (Bitcoin) & centralized (the Establishment) forms of control.

It's easy to see the possibility for media outlets or NGO's are nothing more than fronts using the "greater good" as an argument to advocate for the interests of their benefactors. Edward Bernays describes this technique in some of his books.

The cold wallet problem has vexed me. The solutions seem immature given how widespread this need is. For example, nobody seems to have developed a Shamir's secret sharing approach to cold wallets, which seems like a natural fit. Also, there remain these warnings that one must be very careful about how to transfer funds out of a cold wallet (e.g. in one transaction) which seems to defeat the entire purpose of having a cold wallet (which is safety of the funds.)

Elsewhere in the thread I mentioned advanced protection[0]. Gmail/Google is also the only company to my knowledge that gives you a warning like this one[1], and it was certainly the first to do so.

A lot of this comes down to your threat model. If you are most worried about

Unless your threat model is "The NSA gives my hosting provider a court order" or "an employee of my hosting provider goes rogue", its pretty clear that GMail is categorically the best option. And in those two cases, its not clear that there are significantly better options.

This is a good read. Count me on the same boat, thanks to the shitty Multibit wallet but I am not in a hurry to open the wallet yet. That said:

> Four years ago, I was living in Hong Kong when a fellow journalist named Mike* and I decided to invest in bitcoin. I bought four while Mike went in for 40; I spent about $2,000 while he put in $15,000.

Invest? Really? That is called speculation with the amount of money you can afford to lose. If you were investing you would go all in and track the progress and protect the password.
It's an interesting read, and the author links to more information on changes that can keep the cost down in the future. But my one quibble is that they also wrote

"There are also some holes in my napkin math. For example, by the time Bitcoin reaches this level of adoption, the cost of technology will probably have dropped and won’t be as insane as I previously outlined"

Probably??? Is the author expecting Moores law to end today?
Maybe this is nitpicking, but I’d rather see more opportunity for small businesses operating in the honest open than for black market operations. As with a lot of the convo here, the idea is a hollistically better society. Black markets create a lot of tangential issues.

That wasn't the question, though. Why has no other country copied it—for example, a social-welfare state like Sweden, or a technocracy like Singapore?
Many of those countries don't treat drugs anywhere near like the way the US does.

Switzerland in fact has a system very similar to what is described in this article. Methadone (and even in some cases heroin) is readily dispensed to those in need. You aren't going to end up with a 10 year sentence for possessing hard drugs, you'll be helped.
Switzerland has.
