All of them. The more coins have been mined, the fewer are left to mine and the harder they are to mine.

It's guaranteed scarcity. By design. All you have to add to that formula is the idea that there's a demand. And that's what every ICO is: hype about demand for a decreasingly available thing.

Once you have been sold that there's a demand, the appreciation is guaranteed by definition of what it is.
I don't think you can be that expansive about your personal experience with taxes, it's very dependent on where you live and it really seems you don't live in the same place where I do so please contextualise where your argument comes from and add some data to base it on.
I've been seeing nothing but negative, dismissive comments about data science on HN lately, which is really disappointing. There's definitely a lot of hype right now about DL, but almost all of my job does not deal with Big Data or Deep Learning, 'just' machine learning + stats + calc + scripting + data cleaning + deploying models.

I think most people don't have big data (Amazon has an x1 with 4 TB of RAM, after all!) but there's no shame in that.
I'll use a big machine for grid search or other embarrassingly parallelizable stuff, but I can confirm that Spark is usually a bad tool for actual ML unless you use one of their out-of-the-box algos. Even then, tuning the cluster on EMR with YARN is a pain, especially for pyspark. There's a gap, I think, between the inflated expectations of "I'm going to get general AI in 5 years and CHANGE THE WORLD" and "this K-means clustering will be a good way to explore our reviews", but somewhere in the middle there is actual value.

(I also hate that "AI" is becoming the new hype-train; I don't consider anything of what I do to be "AI", but you have people calling CNNs or even non-deep-learning models "AI"). This is only going to result in inflated expectations- DS practitioners have to communicate the value without hype, and also find a way to weed out charlatans.

No, I think it can be helpful to criticize if people are being misled into picking up pennies when twenties, fifties, and hundreds are falling out of their pockets.
Having some race based slaves is not the same as using race to clearly demarcate slave from free across a nation. We live with the legacy that Black Americans are descended from slaves, slaves who were forbidden from learning to read, so they imposed the grammar of their native tongues on English, resulting in a distinct speaking style that still tends to persist, culturally, even if it is not so in every individual case. The implications are both broad and deep and they mostly aren't nice. It is a terrible legacy that still leaves its mark on the Black American population in ways that are very frequently used to suggest that Blacks are simply morally defective and their lives would work if they would just behave themselves.

I think the perception that social security and retirement deductions are taxes stems from the fact these are obligatory. Insofar as we have no choice in the matter these have all the properties of taxes.
With the caveat it is difficult to compare one country to another because the value of government services you get is somewhat subjective, I offer the following data point for France: if a company outlays 100k, the employee would take home about 58k before income tax. A single person would pay 10k in income tax on that. All in he would therefore have 48k to spend. This might be useful for those of you wishing to evaluate the cost of hiring in France.

Often people are in all of those categories, they use what I see as marketing speech to talk about their own experiences. Those experiences might differ from mine so what I dismiss as parroting or marketing is later shown just to be difference in opinion.

Quark's famous words 'there is no accounting for taste'
No, there is no process in Github to allow everyone to push to a certain branch (or branches matching some regex). Github forces people without collaborator rights to use forks.

I've seen this lead to confusion where people fork a repo and send PRs even though they have contributor rights, because they didn't understand the difference. As an extreme example: https://github.com/flystack/misty/pull/101 - This is a repo with only one person with write access [1]. Yet this same person only commits to their private fork of this repo and sends himself PRs that he then immediately merges. I don't mean to blame the developer, only the Github UX.

[1] It says "6 contributors" on the mainpage of the repo, but four of these are from my team and we definitely don't have write access.

Do what the Japanese do: gift consumables. In the worst case you would receive something you don't like the taste of, don't normally use, or can't eat due to allergies, but you can just pass the gift on to someone who would appreciate it. Either way, at some point the gift is consumed (eaten or drunk in the case of food, used, or spent in the case of money) and its gone. No kipple.

The idea is never to give something that will burden the receiver. In Japan homes tend to be small, so anything that can't be consumed would be an unthoughtful gift (unless you knew that the person specifically wanted/needed it).
Event Sourcing and Stream Processing at Scale
"Image" system might be too alien, this approach is very specific to Smalltalk.

And when I tried to learn Pharo (which is probably implementation of smalltalk best for learning today) I had impression that documentation is not very good, and there are few good tutorials. There are some big and serious books, there is Pharo MOOC, everything is so serious and academic that gives impression that the language is hard. There's no simple stupid tutorial like in other languages.

On the value of EV x.509 TLS certificates
Being skeptical is a good attitude. I'm very skeptical of this Eldorado that some posters see in PHP7. My experience is quite different.

> Additionally PHP has an amazing performance debugger by FB called xhprof.

xhprof is unmaintained for years. The official version does not compile with PHP7. Various forks exist, but the only stable fork has been rebranded and defaults to sending all the performance data to the branding company.

> PHP performance could always be increased hugely by making sure is cache buckets have enough memory (opcode cache, realpath_cache_size).

Always, really? The history of PHP opcode's caches is complex. Before PHP5.6 where Zend published their opcache+, I've seen the various solutions (APC and others) cause vicious bugs.

> Secondly with any web framework your app will most likely be limited by IO (database, file lookups, networking) before it becomes limited by actual code execution performance.

I've seen quite a few PHP applications that were CPU-bound, and that were far from Facebook's scale. For instance, the learning platform Moodle is popular with universities, but getting it to handle hundreds of concurrent users cannot be done on a plain quad-core server.

Another poster suggested load balancing as an obvious solution, but adding this is not that easy. E.g. Moodle has to track various files, including uploads. So once you add a load balancer and several PHP servers, you need to use a network mount for most of your files, which has a big impact on IO performance.

I'm not saying that other languages are better, because I can't compare the exact same large application in two languages, but PHP7 isn't an Eldorado.
The amount and type of execution units will also impact the translation. Each mill cpu has a custom encoding format generated to match its resources.

x86 has essentially a bidirectional 1:1 mapping between the assembly and the bytes directly executed by the cpu. The mill does not have that.
For self defense there usually needs to be some proof of a credible threat. Recent events indicate that this burden of proof is for some reason lower for police officers than for citizens.
While many of these criticisms are valid, they seem to be written from the point of view of a user that doesn't really want control over their versions, they just want versions.

I'd suggest that there are other tools for this, such as a properly configured ZFS setup which are atomic beyond most users widest dreams (especially if all the versions of a vim .swp file are retained).

If you just want versions, yes, git gets in your way, because git is about control. Yes if you have all those versions you could go back and 'squash' them into a commit, but can you imagine trying to bisect those to find a bug?!

Somehow I also get the feeling that this perspective is similar to that of a friend who really didn't like the idea of pulling, and that he should just be able to push to the remote repository. A seeming lack of awareness of the collaborative side of version control and development.

Git isn't just about control, it is also about providing additional provenance information and context needed in order to understand what code does and the reasons why changes were made. Sometimes in order to get there we have a bunch of low intention commits that we use to checkpoint, and let's be honest, how many have created commits that put a tree in a broken state? I know I have.

The bit about making the documentation more consistent in its use of vocabulary seems like something that will have a couple of pull requests by the morning.

tl;dr If you want versions use ZFS if you want control and communication use git. Talking defaults is always a good exercise. with and EDIT: show work would be amazing ...

edit2: I just don't see the workspaces model passing the bag of dicks test. I want to code, I don't want to have to become a community moderator and clean up people committing all sorts of crap to my project and on the other side I just wan't to code and not have to deal with the bags of dicks who are going to gate keep their projects. There are just too many social edge cases and the differences are mostly just semantic (iirc the way github implements forks is basically as workspaces anyway...). That said, I would really like it to be possible to have pull requests be part of the repo history instead of, say, the listserv.

> The general sentiment of this article is in things like:

> > A commit message is already too annoying for many users!

You have misrepresented the article. It actually says:

> [Commit messages] can be annoying. But we generally accept that as the price you pay for version control: that commit message has value to others (or even your future self).

Maybe you misunderstood "generally accept"; it could be taken to mean "this is what people normally think (but actually they're wrong)". But it's clear from the context he doesn't mean that: it's saying that commit messages really are worth the effort (but it's OK to admit that they do take some effort). It's just context for contrast against saying that a separate staging step is not (always/by default) worth the effort.
Increasing the DRAMproduction capacity is good. The memory product prize is very high and in a bubble. When a 16 memory costs more than a high end CPU. This has to end or it will hurt PC/notebook market.
9 Essential Ways You Need to Know to Proofread Your Blog Content Accurately
Depends on the use case. I've definitely worked with projects that required a ton of capacity, because the realtime search functionality was booting the full Symfony framework every time someone typed in a letter. To get rid of those performance problems, someone builds a fragile mess of PHP. In that case something like Go or Node.js is a much better fit to the problem.

But if you're building a big old MySQL CRUD app full of complicated business rules, PHP makes a lot more sense.

> This game should be monetized, a couple of ideas:

> 1. You could sell "upgrades packets" in the login screen, so that one can start playing with an upgraded aircraft from the very beginning. 2. There could be other aircrafts that could be either unlocked with enough points or bought.

That's P2W. That has nothing to do with gaming, but with insecure people who wanna pay money to feel good cause else they can't win. And those who don't pay end up as being NS (narcissistic supply). Fuck that.

I don't know how to monetise the game other than serving some adds in the screen during the warming up. But please not via P2W mechanics. It ruins the equal playing field, and it lowers the quality of the game cause the good players who know about the mechanism won't fall for this.
I had an Oric Atmos at one point. I got it in the late 80's as I always loved the look of the Oric computers and (ahead of my time) collected retro computers at that point. I sold it sometime in the Noughties, but I keep thinking to get another one.
For you - https://www.ted.com/talks/dan_pallotta_the_way_we_think_abou...
Some useful commands I'd use in scenarios like this are:

git add -p # select what to add to the staging area
git reset -p # deselect chunks that I decided I don't want anymore
git stash # saves your working state in a temporary commit (not in your branch)
git stash pop # restores the working state from the last git stash command and drops the temporary commit
git rebase -i $start_point # where $start_point is either a branch or some commit in your branch history. -i means interactive, which allows you to reorder/edit/reword/squash commits
git checkout -b $newbranch $start_point # you can make a new branch at any commit in history, so if you decide to reorder your commits, then declare and older commit as a branch and get it merged first, that's fine. $start_point is optional, if unspecified the current HEAD commit is used.

For your specific example, with a staged partial commit on branch idea-1, I would:

git commit -m 'WIP idea 1'
git checkout -b idea-2 HEAD~1 # makes a new branch at the parent of the HEAD commit
git add -p # pull in the desired changes
git commit -m 'idea2 implementation'
git checkout idea-1
git add -p # stage the rest of the changes
git commit --amend
git rebase idea2 # if idea 1 depends on idea 2

I do wish git had some notion of sub-commits with their own messages, and a better UX for cleaning up a set of commits before merging them.

Well, the police is not supposed to expect a gun in a drunk guy's pocket.

In france they would not. They would not hold their own gun either in that situation.

Not really. When I had a blogpost on the frontpage for the first time, I checked the monitoring and saw a CPU load of 6% of a single core and 1 megabit per second (that's bit, not byte). [1]

And it's simple, really. You just write some text on the page, add a small stylesheet. And then you just stop, resisting the urge to add any JS and tracking and hero images. You just stop. And instead of generating your HTML on the fly from a database, you just serve a static HTML file.

I wonder if the presence of automated everything, be it through software or AI or robots is going to be a long cycle self titrating process. If we automate too much, there will be less money in people's hands to buy goods and services and so less demand. The problem with this is that the lag time to seeing this effect is high. Then many people will be impacted.
One interesting property of the US tax structure is that most of the tangible benefits are mostly funded locally (education for 13 years, police, fire, most roads) which is generally a lower tax rate than the federal taxes (which don't as clearly connect to the services that we all need): especially if you don't consider the >50% of federal money spent on the military to be a good use the federal/state/local divide makes it very visible that the taxes you pay are mostly not going to the services that we need.
As someone living in germany, I agree. Police in the USA seems to be undertrained, underpaid and aggressive beyond reasonable.

As I've mentioned in the past, I feel lucky I don't have to live in the US, it seems to be a terrible place to be.
Keep in mind that what the employer pays is about 120% of your misleadingly labeled gross wage. From my point of view the division into employer and employee contributions to what you call Social Security is quite artificial and thus think that you need to compare the net wage with what the employer actually pays.

For example, say your gross wage is 5k/month, the net wage 2.8k and the employer pays 6k. So you take home about 47% of what the employer pays.

> I never needed to look for "experts" to solve a problem in mercurial. hg help is all I needed.

Git has good documentation too. As long as we're doing personal experience, here's mine: I learned git from `git help` too (well, `git --help` and `git <command> --help`), and I never needed to look for a git expert in my team for advanced operations; I did have to be one for others quite a few times , but when it wasn't an immediate, pressing concern I could just point to the appropriate manual.
To a certain degree it's because of the gun culture in the US. But I support gun rights, enjoy sport shooting, and also would not immediately think "gun". My hypothesis is that police work in the States tends to attract the kind of people who want to be macho and point guns at people but lack the cajones to join the military and actually have those people want to kill them back. This obviously doesn't describe all or even most officers, but I've met enough kids like that in my high school years who dreamed of heading to the police academy that I believe it's significant.
D'oh, sorry, I meant "cross join"
But wouldn't you have liked to shop around for those free-but-paid-from-your-taxes services? And benefit from competition between providers which drives prices down and quality up?

Government are ultimate monopolies: always getting worse and more expensive.

Maybe you are thinking about a handful of functioning, high quality governments (US, Germany, Nordic States) but I am thinking about the great majority of the governments on the globe (Africa, Asia, E Europe) which provide really crappy, expensive services.
you can --keep-index to avoid stashing it, and then make an additional stash. If you have modifications within the same file it'll complain about conflicts though, so on the second sash you'll have to `git stash show -p | git apply -R` and then drop the stash, which is super clunky.

You can regenerate, and indeed you have to if you need to add support for a new cpu architecture, for instance. Debian has support in its packaging for making it easy to regenerate configure scripts as part of the package build for this reason: https://wiki.debian.org/Autoreconf They say "By _far_ the largest piece of work for any new debian port is updating hundreds of packages to have newer autotools config information so that they will build for the new architecture", which is why putting in the effort to have the package build do it automatically is worthwhile. Presumably FreeBSD could have taken a similar approach for its ports, though of course just tweaking the help string is much less effort.
Which is an excellent way to make sure the incentives of the government and its people are aligned. \s
I think this is very insightful. Agree, that the online experience basically allows an unimpeded vent for frustrations that are always there but are checked in physical social situations. It's kind of a negative feedback loop, though...in the sense that when you are seeing everyone's unfiltered thoughts, you feel even more justified in your own frustrations and prejudices. You're just blowing off steam, but these thoughts are genuine representations of these "other" people.
