So what do libertarians represent really? Quick search for "libertarian manifesto" shows https://mises.org/library/new-liberty-libertarian-manifesto which talks about abolishing nation state and such. That is hard to reconcile with your PoV.

Can you revoke trust?

If the answer is no, what happens when a scam account is discovered? They get to just keep mining new coins forever and passing them to the people unwise enough to trust the account before it was discovered to be fake?

If the answer is yes, what happens to the coins already mined by the scammer? Last person holding them loses?
I love french press but the problem is that the glass is so fragile that I gave up french press after the third time I broke it.
Maybe we don't need to prevent fake accounts at all. I think that could be possible to create a better distribution scheme through the analysis of the transactions network kept in the blockchain. The goal of this distribuition scheme could be maximize the flux of coins. Actually, I'm supposing that this is the intent of UBI, but I'm not am economist. So, the algorithm would put an amount of coins at nodes with higher probability of maximize the flux and therefore keeping the economy active.
Reminds me of the Simpsons episode where Homer designs his own car: https://i.imgur.com/2O4f9EO.jpg
I'm sorry, I thought you were trying to convince people who support UBI.

The context is that people want to redistribute wealth. "But it redistributes my wealth!" is the least compelling possible argument against that.
To be fair, these guys aren't Intel or even AMD or ARM - they're a small team with limited funding. I'm not going to be shocked of Mill themselves never releases production silicon, but worst case their novel ideas will only be under patent lock-and-key for a period of time - someone else will have the opportunity to make use of them eventually.

With that said, I'd love to see these things come off a fab line someday - there's a lot of potential in the ideas behind the Mill architecture, whether they'll pan out or not is to be seen, but if they fail I'd rather see another Itanic than to never make it to market in the first place.

I assume the point is that an individual wouldn’t just form a trust link with another individual without some confidence of their “true” identity. For me to trust someone’s currency, I would either need to be very sure of their identity through some trusted third-party system (e.g. a centralized system like government ID), or be involved in an extensive social (and probably in-person) relationship that would be difficult to fake (like friendship).

For the latter, what I mean is that it’s probably prohibitively difficult to maintain two significant in-person social graphs that have no overlapping members. Sure, people can get away with it for things like romantic affairs, but the incentive there is very different than money exchange, not to mention that romantic affairs often get discovered.
It looks like the documentation has been updated since I last checked.
Cold brew is easy to make, and taste is really smooth and sweet, and preserves the flavor without the bitterness. However, it takes a long time for the process to finish, so I start it before I go to bed, and have the coffee ready to drink in the morning. I use Cold Bruer, as I prefer the drip method, not infusion. I prefer single origin over blend, especially for cold brew. If you're curious about its taste, try Blue Bottle's cold brew. I don't recommend Starbucks' version, as it is not good.

EDIT: Cold brew is not iced coffee! Iced coffee is a common hot brewed coffee that is consumed cold, often by pouring hot coffee over ice, and popular in summer.
I’ve used a chemex + quality grinder for a long time and haven’t found anything better so not much to add there.

I’ve started experimenting with roasting at home, though, and am surprised at how easy it is. Time since roast seems to be one of the most important variables for taste and beans are by far the largest expense. You can buy a 3lb bag of unroasted green coffee on Amazon for $20:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B014THN4OI/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_L1Rl...

It takes about 13 minutes to roast a hopper’s worth of beans. I use a normal castiron skillet over medium heat. Just keep the beans moving the whole time.

In all the cases here, what the customer wanted was available in some other car. Thunderbird owners said they wanted 4 doors. But there were several 4-door fast cars on the market which they didn't buy, so you shouldn't believe them.

A common situation in startups is, there are two current products on the market A and B. A has 99% of the market, B has 1%. The amount of feature X (speed, ease of use, scalability, ...) they provide is limited:

---A----B--------------------------------------> X

A startup is proposing to make product C. It will be awesome because it provides way more X:

---A----B---------------------------------C----> X

But you need to ask, if people really value X, why aren't they already switching from A to B?

It happens all the time that startups ask customers, "Do you want a product with more X?" and they say yes. But if they're not already using the product out there with the most X, you shouldn't believe them.
In which part - is the job not dreadful, or pay just average?

BTW this was obviously a gross generalization that was only signalling that such jobs exists and that there is a significant amount of them. At the same time, most finance coding jobs probably don't pay top market rates.
Cassandra performance in Python: Avoid namedtuple
No. In your example, value 'a' will not have been applied to the store in C yet, as there is a hole in the log: a set of updates that contains update 'b' (and possibly others). So the view in A will be more up to date than the view in C, but both will be consistent.
Or just containerize and don't think about that :)
Seconded on the Aeropress. It beats the French press, which it most closely resembles, in pretty much every metric: you can grind the coffee more finely which gives you better extraction, and you can use less of it to get coffee of the same strength. It's also faster and easier to clean up. And to my palate, it just tastes better.
yeah, do people not realize hackernews is "social media"?
To my experience this is not specific to the car industry only. Many large business try to “ask customers what they want”, because “it’s all about the customer”. And while I agree that many large enterprises have ignored customers for all a long time, this new mantra is the right way either.

I believe a product needs to be designed deliberately to fulfill certain customer needs/desires. The word design contains the element of making choices on behalf of the customer, seldom by customers. I think has been very successful with this approach, even though some of their tradeoff decisions haven’t been so popular, but needless to say that their products are very successful.
Had a similar problem in Seattle. Oversubscribed the node servicing the area. Near 75% packet loss 7am-9pm made running a business impossible. Refused to service, after over 40 phone calls and 6 service appointments. Dropped Comcast for alternate provider. Will never use Comcast again as long as I live for how awful dealing with their customer service was on a daily basis for almost 2 months.
I'm still trying to find an engineer that can explain to me why they use Redis for job queuing over Postgres.

Redis for HTML caching: Cool.

Redis for queueing: Are you really sure you need the performance gain? Really? You can do 10k writes per second with Postgres (100k per second with COPY). If you need more than that fine, but for 99% of web apps out there it's just one more moving piece that probably doesn't get included in your backups.
Thanks! That is pretty much what I was looking for.
I've also found French press to be the sweet spot wrt quality/time involved/kitchen space. However, I've gone through 3 French presses in the past 3 years. Do you recommend a particular brand/model? (2 of the aforementioned 3 were mid-level Bodums).
have you heard of aeropress you might want to give it a try
You can always mute your phone and join the national do-not-call registry to cut down on the calls.
I'd love to hear the rationale behind what makes french press superior for properly extracted coffee.

I've always thought of each method as driven by preference and context, but if there's an argument to be made for “technical” best, I'd love to hear it.
I use an AeroPress and I buy whole beans from a nearby/local roaster or when I'm feeling cheap I'll get a big bag of beans from CostCo. I find that the equipment impacts the coffee a whole lot less than having a good bean that was recently roasted and has been freshly ground. I also use a burr grinder, it may be psychosomatic but I prefer the taste of burr ground coffee over blade ground coffee.

The problem here, of course, is that "good" coffee beans can be hard to find in a given area and are generally speaking expensive (without going in too far in to the ethics of coffee, I am personally willing to pay a little bit more to buy beans that are ethically and sustainably sourced -- which takes a little research and effort on your part when interacting with local roasters). You could buy relatively cheap green beans (check out Sweet Marias) and roast them yourself but the equipment can be expensive and it adds a non-trivial amount of time and effort.

Anyway, I think that the AeroPress makes the best cup of coffee that I have ever had at home. I also have a pour-over that I use sometimes, and a french press that I use sometimes, but both of those options are a lot more effort. The AeroPress takes all of a minute from to get from "I want a cup of coffee" to "Mmm, this coffee tastes good" and that includes clean up. Also, the paper filters are re-useable and I tend to re-use each one of mine dozens of times before getting a new one out.
I find roasting my own beans makes the world of difference. I buy my green coffee in 20lb patches from https://www.sweetmarias.com/category/green-coffee and use a small automated roaster. Roasted beans have a shelf life and a lot of times I was getting sold old coffee that didn't taste as well as other times.

After roasting I have 3 basic methods for making coffee first being the basic Bunn drip pot. I also own a french press for when I don't need a pot to help get me through the day. Finally I have one of those stove top espresso devices for when I need to make espresso.
I think the two major platforms for PaaS into the foreseeable future are going to be OpenShift and Cloud Foundry.

Both have large engineering professional organisations involved, large community footprints and a lot of sales to pay for all of the above.

There is what I call the "kambrian explosion" of PaaSes being built on top of kubernetes. Most of these will, I think, shake out over the coming years and again, the heavy-duty PaaS market will largely be dominated by the two existing platforms.

Disclosure: I work for Pivotal, we're the leading contributor to Cloud Foundry. Red Hat is a competitor.
Right now 1 BTC on Gemini (the reference exchange for CBOE Bitcoin futures) is $16,600 and the futures price is $17,800 for a 1 or 2 month contract. Since the risk free rate is about 0.125% monthly and this spread is 7.2%, it looks like the market is pricing the counter-party risk at about 7% for one or two month durations.

That seems pretty high to me though, you can arbitrage on Coinbase and Gemini which are both US based regulated exchanges (they have licenses, insurance, and audits) with what I would expect to be less than 7%/month risk. Perhaps there just aren't many arbitragers with access to the futures market and knowledge of Gemini/Coinbase yet. I'd arbitrage it myself but I have no retail brokerage access to shorting the future contracts.

Further evidence the market just isn't acting efficiently yet: volume of 3.43k contracts today, which is only $61M. The 24 hour trade volume of the top 5 Bitcoin exchanges is $5 billion.

> We all know what the culture of online shaming has led to and it's all our job not to do it on HN.

This is, in and of itself, a blaming statement. Blaming statements, such as the one contained in the comment you replied to, are a result of a) dissonance and b) inability to resolve the dissonance.

It is, in fact, unknown what the culture of online shaming has led to in our society. In fact, I'd hazard "shaming" online is actually just raw blame provided by some rationalized thought process driven by Internet interactions themselves, not the people reacting. See This Video Will Make You Angry on YouTube for context. Screwing with people's Internet in contextually what could be considered "wrong" behavior becomes highly polarizing. In as much as someone coughs because they smoke, people blaming is a result of a larger problem, perhaps related to the fitness of memes and some people's weakness in being hacked emotionally by memes with higher sophistication. Again, that problem is noted by the dissonance and inability to resolve it, but the behaviors emerging from those who are "infected" by the thoughts are not exactly theirs to bear alone. We blamed the tobacco industry for smoking. Why can we not blame the employees who are providing the rationalizations for bad behavior? One might argue that they shouldn't be blamed because they have no choice in the matter. It may be their job to argue otherwise for the company.

The irony here is that vast majority of the denizens of HN are likely responsible for creating most of the "mess" we're in today by writing software without considering the long term effects on consciousness and perception of reality. That "mess" would be defined as means, by algorithms or neural networks, to attempt to exploit weaknesses in human nature to spread other's beliefs in a unnatural way. Growth hacking. In some cases, like Comcast, those beliefs are rooted in sophisticated rationalizations which sound good when limited in scope. But! I don't care what anyone says about it, changing the content of a page which, when requested from one place returns one thing and when requested from another (which ones pay for I might add) returns another thing entirely is a violation of TRUST. At least it is to me. I like consistency in my data.

If one of the "members" of this group we call HN wants to make a blaming statement against someone who is defending this irrational logic, then I say let them blame! How else are we to uncover the dissonance and solve it? Or, perhaps, that dissonance is desired to be left in place by our complicit behaviors trying to be "nice" to each other.

I've suggested before social media sites could benefit from a "this is a blaming statement" flag on articles or comments. I stand by that assertion today. Logging back out again. Thank you for all the hard work that goes into running this place.
Yeah, but this subthread is about protest reasons :) The reactor in the article (and the half-life of it's fuel) can't be the reason people are protesting.
Mine is pretty spot-on. There are a few odd-balls on there that I attribute to their weighting manually selected songs much higher than those from a playlist.
I think the idea is that the contract just produces more coins on a schedule.

As you can't arbitrarily start accounts (at least that's the thinking), it's the equivalent to the state handing you some money periodically. Mining wouldn't be necessary as the rate limit would be account creation.
I don’t think you need an explicit decentralized solution. I think the individual incentives are such that this type of scam is unlikely, because it’s probably prohibitively difficult to maintain two significant non-overlapping social graphs.

I explained this more in this comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15898504
I'm able to do some types of work, even though all my attempts so far have been torturous for me and subpar for the employers.

And I'm certainly able to work according to society, in particular the doctors who have found me mentally and physically healthy.

And yet instead of working, I'm taking resources away from others while contributing nothing. I consider this a better ethical outcome than making my life even more intolerable in the name of fairness. I would vote for a feasible basic income in a heartbeat.

I'd also vote for legalising suicide as an arguably more moral alternative to both leeching off of society and living lives not worth living.

Anyone outraged by the prospect of paying for others' laziness has yet to agree with me that forcing people to contribute to society while depriving them of legal access to safe and comfortable means of exiting society is unfair, too.
How to Cope with Long Sales Cycles
> As others pointed out, when you buy/sell futures, you risk counterparty risk.

Yes, but: There is a chain of companies that have to fail before you incur the loss. The clearinghouse will cover the default first, and bill it back to the clearing broker. So you need someone of the order of Goldman Sachs to fail before counterparty risk affects payments to you.

Leadership without principles isn't leadership.

Doing what your customers ask without balancing that against a strong sense of why your product is a success leads to "kosher pork chops". It betrays a lack of vision.
Is this only an issue if you print money to pay for the UBI? If UBI is payed for by taxes then it shouldn't devalue the currency.

From what I can tell:

But we all know they are talking about wealth, not paper money. You can't create wealth out of thin air. The closest you get is things like stocks, but those are worth what people are willing to pay for them and thus still have real value.

Printing money without adding wealth means each unit of currency is worth less, which tends to ruin the whole "free money" thing.

I certainly understand where you are coming from. Putting yourself in an environment where you might feel ostracized for your beliefs sounds hostile.

I do think, however, that having a conversation with someone who beliefs are fundamentally counter to yours are tremendously valuable. It might help you empathize with their position, help you better understand your own, or at the very least make it easier to work with people who's backgrounds are different from your own.

Stepping into an environment that you won't feel at home in may be an excellent place for you to step outside of your comfort zone and grow.

I can't remember who said this, but a thought that resonated the most with me about college is that it is the time and place for making your brain the most interesting place to live for the rest of your life.

Ultimately, the decision is entirely yours, and college won't make you or break you. I can say that they were likely the most valuable 4 years of my life so far.
The adoption problem is that it should be expected to be asymmetrical - most of the would-be-net-recipients would join early, most of the would-be-net-donors would join late or never.

And this transition period matters a lot. If a system doesn't provide a solid benefit during the early transition, then it's worthless to discuss how it would work once adopted since it won't be, it can't be. See Bitcoin for example - it provides a solid financial benefit to early adopters, early investors. Without that benefit, it wouldn't get widely adopted and would be worthless.
PCM is uncompressed audio. I'm not sure what you mean by "legacy" or "vulnerable to faults" but every decoder you are using is spitting out PCM for handing it to the sound card.

What I'm saying is you want something like what you describe as "hacked pandora" to get the bits before decoding.

Otherwise you're doing the audio equivalent of JPEG -> BMP -> JPEG (to make a visual metaphor).
