Yeah, really good point; this article is kinda halfway between "modern client-side app" and "traditional server-controlled app", and it kinda feels like the worst of both worlds (added complexity without many of the benefits)
When I said "only people with money" I meant "meaningful amount of money" but I can see what you're saying. I'm not sure what I'm struggling with about the concept...time for me to do some more reading / thinking.
Miners actually have a lot less power than people realize. Anyone can run their own fully-validating Bitcoin node. Miners do indeed mine the blocks, but _all_ nodes perform verification. If miners try to mine invalid blocks, Bitcoin nodes will simply reject them.

The person who coined the term "libertarian" did take that position. In fact he went much further, and probably would be quite offended at what right wing libertarians espouse in the name of libertarianism given that it's hard to find anyone more opposed to property rights and accumulation of wealth.

Here is Joseph Dejacques using "libertarian" for the first time in a letter to Proudhon (incidentally also an early feminist work; the letter was a rebuke to Proudhons male chauvinism):

> Flogger of woman and absolute serf of man, Proudhon Magnan, you use your words for a lash. Like a slave-driver you seem delighted to disrobe your beautiful victims (on paper) and flagellate them with invectives. Moderate anarchist, liberal, but not libertarian, you want free exchange of cotton and candles and you seek to protect man against woman in the exchange of affectional human passion. You cry against the great barons of capital, and you would rebuild a proud barony of man on vassal-woman. Logician with misfit eyeglasses, you are unable to read the lessons of the present or the past; you can discern nothing that is elevated or at a distance or in the perspective of the future.

(EDIT: Worth noting above is that he sets "moderate anarchist" up as less radical than "libertarian")

And this is another paragraph from the same letter, denouncing not just property rights (one of things he admired in Proudhon's was his "property is theft" slogan) but denouncing restrictions on consumption:

> Do I need, for example, one sun for myself, one river for myself, one forest for my own, or all the houses in all the streets for my own? Have I the right to become the proprietor of them to the exclusion of others, especially when I do not need them? If I have not that right, is it any more just for me to wish, as under the system of contracts, to measure to each one—according to his accidental ability to produce—just what proportion he should receive of all things; how much of the sun’s rays he is entitled to, how many cubic feet of air and of water shall he allotted to him, or the extent of his promenades in the forests; what number or the parts of the houses he may occupy, what streets he may walk in and what streets he must keep out of?

While you probably won't agree with much he says - as a libertarian socialist even I disagree with much of what he says (he's very much what Marx would have written off as one of the utopian socialists, or a hippie a century early), the letter is well worth a read both because it has historical importance in being the start of libertarianism (right wing libertarianism was first born about a century later), but also because it is incredibly beautifully written even if one disagrees with it:

You seem to be talking about it like it's a sure thing. "Those who take risks, get rewarded." Or lose all their risked money. shrug. If it was a sure thing, it wouldn't be a risk. Generally if a market if functioning theoretically optimally, you can't make a lot of money on this sort of "investment" unless you've also risked losing a lot of money. Whether the BTC market is functioning rationally/optimally is another question, but the answer probably doesn't reduce your risk.

Generally anyone that tells you that you can make an unusual amount of money on an investment (or, um, MLM business) without risking losing a lot is trying to scam you (even if they believe their own scam).
news outlets cover news about bitcoins but not stuff like 'Secret revealed: see how this couple made million dollars in 3 weeks' sort of articles.

Growing up in Oregon I was always annoyed by the slow as hell left lane campers. Having spent a half decade elsewhere and recently moving back it has escalated from annoyance to blood boiling seething rage.

When I left Seattle, the state of WA was really making a push to get slowpokes out of the left lane with a media campaign and instituting tickets for people who are slowing traffic down.

I LOVE the idea.
No, it is not - I over simplified the process a lot. (/me used to work in a vendor, and in a different large Linux distro :) )

I didn't mean to undermine the work that goes into turning a project like this, OpenStack, Kubernetes, Cloud Foundry etc into a real product that users can download and install on random hardware in random configurations, and get a working system - it is a ton of work, and is massively important for getting actual users to install what are very complex distributed systems.
Why shouldn't it be? With the cheap electricity and their massive population, they have a very high mining power per capita potential.
There's absolutely no source to the claim that 40% is owned by 1000 people. Only at the very end of the article we see a lateral claim, that 17% of bitcoin is held in just 100 addresses.

It's not unlikely the same reasoning (i.e. 40% of coins on top 1000 addresses) is used for the larger claim.

But that says very little. A bitcoin address after all can be shared by many users, in the same way a bank vault can contain money from many individuals. It's quite likely that the top addresses are held in a (semi) custodial function by parties like Coinbase or Kraken, which have hundreds of thousands to millions of customers, but may store their users' coins on a number of addresses that's a tiny fraction of their user count.

Regardless, unequal wealth distribution isn't entirely unique to bitcoin, either. The top 1% worldwide own about 50% of the world's wealth, the richest 10% own about 85%.

Not quite. Bitcoin has been an excellent bet. The economic notion of "store of value" requires stability, but Bitcoin is definitely not stable. Just today it fell 10%, and nobody would be surprised if it were to drastically exceed its previous peak next week.
Great! What I couldn't find is: is it possible to get output from one command and store it as variable for use in another command? My example is simple: I need to get a token once, and then provide it as a header to all subsequent requests. The bugger is unfortunately valid only for a limited amount of time (some 10 minutes), which makes exploration a bit tricky, and I don't particularly like running search and replace all the time...

Yes and no.

a) they were collecting excessive telemetry for a long time, after this was exposed they claimed it was config error or something and patched it and additionally allow to disable telemetry in settings fully or partially I think. Though no malicious intent was ever proved it was not a good thing.

b) people found app with soft root like capabilities. Eventually it was discovered that it was a debug Qualcomm app left intentionally (and present in phones of other brands) and soft root possible only if attacked has physical access phone must have ADB installed (never used it so I have no additional details).

I think there was no other incidents in 2017. Overall it was not good but compared to what can be extracted from Google (and that stuff can't be disabled and present in every Android phone) or other apps that many users install (FB, messengers etc.) it is just drop in the ocean. Not a secure phone but neither are any other mass market phones including Apple (who had degraded their security to a simple pincode - https://blog.elcomsoft.com/2017/11/ios-11-horror-story-the-r... ).

Hi from the Hasura team! We had launched Hasura.io earlier in the year (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13724118) to help devs build powerful applications fast. Hasura gives you instant backend APIs on postgres + a PaaS powered by Kubernetes.

Hasura Hub is a collection of boilerplates and readymade applications that you can clone, modify and deploy to kickstart your application development. For example - a react native project is wired up with a NativeBase UI kit, expo.io & a Hasura backend that you can clone and deploy in minutes. Hub also has sample applications for a slack bot, a messenger bot, e-commerce schemas, a simple AR app with AR Kit & Clarifai, etc.

The feature of Hasura that makes a ’hub' of instantly deployable projects possible is that every Hasura project is declarative, i.e, everything from source code to migrations to configuration is version controllable. The hasura cli, api console and hub are designed around and deeply integrate with this feature.

Let us know if you'd like to see any specific boilerplates or sample apps or if you have any other questions!

The post isn't trite in context since he was responsible for educating his particular audience. Complaining about generic kids these days is venting. Setting up ground rules for discussion to advance education is part of his job.

And, besides, his instruction is basically a critique of all the things (media, primary schools, undergraduate schools, parents, etc.) that should have been teaching those lessons but weren't. So he had to teach them not to "kids these days" but to people who were intelligent and educated enough to make it into law school.

Besides, part of his point was that dismissing old thoughts because they are old is bad reasoning. To dismiss his thoughts likewise because they're not new (I think they're a new spin on things, but YMMV) does ourselves a disservice.
Everything has declined in value over the past 6 weeks compared to BTC.
It could have been foreseen and omitted. We still don't know who Satoshi is or what their motivations are.
>Bitcoin is not untraceable money, it can be even more traceable than normal currency.

Fair enough, how about "trivial to launder" instead? The fact that every transaction is visible on the blockchain means that people who don't bother obfuscating their tracks (i.e. honest people who don't feel they have anything to hide) are the one who risk their privacy invaded: "hey, look, this is the address where we pay X his salary and some of it got transfered to the known address of this sex shop website".

If you want to hide your tracks however it's easy. Say I'm a politician and I want to accept a bribe. I can get a briefcase full of cash, but that's bulky, not very convenient and I could get caught if I try to move it (especially across borders).

Or I could try to open a bank account in some place where people look the other way but it's more complicated, involves third parties who could expose me (panama papers, lux leaks...), leaves a paper trail etc...

With BTC I click "generate a new receive address" in my wallet, give it to my anonymous benefactor and that's that.

Then after that if I really want to make it difficult to follow the money I can split my coin in multiple addresses, do a bunch of dummy transactions to obfuscate where the BTC change hands, go through a bunch of coin mixers, maybe convert to an other crypto (monero for instance?), do a bunch more mixing, and then back to BTC. Good luck unravelling all that.

>It could be stablished as a law that public money when being spent in the blockchain needs to be auditable by the people (identities of sender and recipient known), and this way you would end up with even less corruption than the current system.

Public spending is already supposed to be auditable in the democratic countries I know of (except in very specific cases, like "black boxes" for paying informants etc..). Generally corruption and waste is when people overpay for a service, like say paying 10x the cost for the construction of a new stadium, favouring a contractor over an other etc... I don't think BTC would help greatly with that. There are many, many ways of making "technically legal" purchases that conceal corruption, I don't think it would improve things very much. "Here, have this very valuable painting by Manet as a thank you for your help", "Here, let me make a charitable donation to your foundation", "Here, let me change this piece of regulation that will benefit your company", etc...

Unless you want to force all citizens (in the public and private) to publish their addresses I'm not sure you can really reign that in. And even then, how would you enforce that?
Not that part.

Apple apologists like you and many others I see on HN are hilarious. Justifying the most idiotic bug - literally calculator not able to count 2+2 - as "the user is using it wrong" just goes to show how muck deep the average Apple fanboys brain has rotted.

He would rather keep his full-time job with its handicapped parking. thankfully required by law, than wait around for someone to "go out of their way" to accommodate him out of the goodness of their heart. Also, I shudder to think what would happen if everyone waited around for grocery stores, gas stations, etc., to "go out of their way" to accommodate people. That would just keep people in their homes and on state support, which we thankfully don't need at all because of the laws about accommodation.
B-b-but think of how much bandwidth could be saved if the whole thing were a webapp! We could replace the images with low-res copies which are always downloaded, and only download the full-res copies when they are viewed. Of course, that requires JavaScript, but every browser that counts (/me glares at eww, links, lynx, elinks et al.) supports it. And never mind about the fact that downloading low-res images and high-res images is more downloading than just high-res images to begin with.

Really, this could best be written as a single-page app. We'll have to rewrite it every six months, of course, in order to comply with current best practices and trends.

It's kinda embarrassing to see someone using static HTML for static text. Think how much better this would be with spinners, animation and ads!

The summer between high school and college (or somewhere around that time), I put most of my savings from my part time job into WCOM @ $25. I'm probably a little older than the median HN demo, so I'll just leave this here for you.[1]

The good news is, I never did have to pay a commission to sell that stock. Obviously, I didn't have a lot of money, but it was probably about $1000 that I invested and promptly lost.

The person who coined the term libertarian (Joseph Dejacques) argued that all property rights were restrictions on freedom, and for even distribution of not just wealth but income, on the basis of an ideal where maximizing liberty was the most important goal.

But right-wing libertarianism prioritize property rights over liberty.
Until recently I led a Data Science team (manager and IC) at a non-software Fortune 10. I, and everybody else on the team, left within a year of joining. The division where I was in hired me to grow both Data Science practice and the team. The company was enormous, so there were data science teams all across the company, all operating in silos.

The biggest problem can be summarized like this: If you want to run your business differently, let the new people you hire do something different. If you want to do the same old thing and just act you are doing something differently, just teach the old people to talk like the new people.

I've got plenty of anecdotes from the year, but here's a simple one. The division had an existing "Research and Analytics" group that used linear regression in Excel to develop models. They would develop models on awful (read: highly-multicollinear) data with 100 rows and get "R-squared of .98." Large long-term business decisions were made on these models.

Over the course of the year I fought this constantly. Why do you need more/better data when the other team is okay with the current data? Why are you struggling to get your R-squared to >.90 (output of any type of model had to be R-squared) when the other team can do it so easily? Why do you need to speak to so many people to understand the data better? What I realized over the course of the year was that nobody actually cared about the models unless they matched the "gut" of senior management. So it was easy for the other team to p-hack until they got a slidedeck people would like.

I think there are plenty of problems that lend themselves to good Data Science. These are ones where you can properly identify what a prediction or better understanding of data (e.g. variable importance, coefficient confidence intervals) means in terms of resources (e.g. people, money, time). You can also identify what it means to not have that data insight or model.

There are also plenty of business areas where the link between resource investment and long term success is less clear (e.g. Marketing, Sales Incentives) and more gut and smart work than science. A lot of people are trying to clear up that grey with data science, but I go back to what I said before: you need to let people think and try different things over time to see the value of those experiments.

Comically enough, the Research and Analysis team picked up all the lingo we used and became a huge success: work the old way, talk in the new way. Management decided their Data Science adventure was a failed experiment and we just hadn't lived up to the hype.

What do you mean by "invalid"? My impression is that if you control 51% of the mining power and have at least some amount of control over the physical network path to your victim (e.g., ability to inject RST packets), you can execute double-spend attacks.

Are double-spend attacks not a concern?

If they are not a concern, why do we need so much computational capacity for mining?
