We are somewhat in amateur hour here. It is well understood that literal matching is easier at scale than regex matching, and some of us have built regex matchers that take advantage of this whether they are given a pure literal case or where regexes have literal factors: https://github.com/intel/hyperscan being a project I've worked on for a little while.

Some languages are worth learning to expand your horizons. Lisp is one of them, even if you never use it, and the APL family (of which K/Q are members) is another. My C code has become faster, simpler, shorter and less buggy after I dabbled in K. YMMV, but using it in a commercial setting is not the only reason to look at it.

Raymond 'Shrimp Boy' Chow alleged all sorts of things about everyone in San Francisco while defending himself against organized crime charges, and while some of them may be true it's a stretch to say that Lee 'did in fact have connections to a Chinese gang.'

Chow was a colorful figure who supposedly went straight after an earlier stint in prison and took part in city politics in terms of showing up at some fundraisers or community events. But none of his allegations against the mayor or other figures went anywhere.

I don't think you can blame this on bias at the FBI; you'd need to explain why they were happy to indict Yee (who arguably had a higher political profile and was seen as a future governor) but somehow gave Ed Lee a pass.

"Also, what justifies Bitcoin's value at ~17k ?"

Nothing - it's a meme, a fad - a rampantly speculative one that involves money.

So many press articles touting 'BTC breaks $X' price point - it's clickbait - and also many jornos and bloggers have positions which they are not disclosing yet, though this is changing.

Because there is no way to value BTC, it's funny game. Someone on Bloomberg indicated a valuation technique which related BTC to popularity in Google searches. Which is rather interesting: BTC's value is a function of it's popularity. Which explains a lot.

ICSs are 'hot' because we've seen how much 'money people have made' in BTC and so major bets are being placed on ICOs.

They are a magnificently easy way to grab money from people who kind of think they are 'making an investment' but really their not getting much at all. An IPO with 0% dilution.
That's not really a reasonable comparison though, those devices are strictly battery powered and don't have fans. I'm interested to see where this machine lands too, but I would be really surprised if they didn't consider long duration workflow performance.

Yes but there must be a actual rigorous notion of this. Like epsilon delta limits in calculus. Close doesn't cut it mathematically, for example what would "very low" mean in your example? 1e-20 is very low, but not very low compared to 1e-30000.

I was unclear in my post and sadly the edit timeout has passed.

You pay taxes on RSUs not at vesting, but when they settle into shares. This might be shortly after vesting; it might be delayed until an acquisition/IPO. (generally it is delayed for companies far away from IPO).

The delay causes multi-year income to be batched into a single year. With a progressive tax system, that results in your money being taxed at a rather high marginal tax rate: If you have a substantial amount you vest a year, it's easiest to use the highest marginal bracket as a conservative guess of what you'll be taking home. In California, that's somewhere on the order of 48% combined state + federal.

Hm. Student loans in the UK are certainly problematic. I think they’re better than US student loans, but UK loans might have become worse without me noticing.

Edit: also notable is the UK has a (basically free) qualification between highschool and university degree, as UK “secondary schools” finish 1 year before US highschool, and university starts 2 years after secondary school ends.
- Awesome. I wasn't sure if it came off too strong, so I only did it for a few. But I can definitely incorporate more "don'ts" as I add content and edit existing questions!

- Interesting thought, though I might disagree. The big names are people who haven't interviewed for a job in a really long time (in some cases, never have) and might not remember what it's like to be an applicant. I don't necessarily think you should ask questions just to impress an interviewer, you should also ask questions to get very needed answers to inform your decision.

- I really appreciate your saying this. I still feel like I need to state that up front, but I will say that my confidence has grown so much in the last 8 months.

Thanks so much for your thoughtful feedback and kind words!
Ask HN: Your Opinion on the Future of Mobile Apps?
Some context: I've been doing iOS app development for over nine years now, both doing client work and selling my own apps (with some moderate success). Earlier this year I've started working on a desktop app targeting roughly the same audience as Invision and the myriad other mobile app prototyping tools. Things are slowly progressing, and though I firmly believe in the usefulness of the tool I have in mind (provided I can pull it off successfully), I'm starting to have second thoughts about the future of the mobile app space in general.

My biggest points of concern:

- People have mostly stopped downloading apps from the App Store (games non-withstanding). Discoverability issues, inconvenience of a download, and some app fatigue are among the contributing factors, in my opinion.

- While every business needs a website, far fewer businesses need an app, since it's much harder to make people [want to] install an app compared to visiting a website.

On the other hand, progressive apps look very promising in this regard, and I sincerely hope they take off on both Android and eventually iOS, with as much native capabilities available as possible. Frankly speaking, we need to get rid of the App Store as middleman, since it's a huge bottleneck.

Also, I don't know much about the state of enterprise-only apps - I presume they are faring better then consumer apps, though not sure to what extent.

Am I being too gloomy, and prospects are actually great for mobile in the next 5 years or so, or is it a dead-end in the mid-to-long term?

I would greatly appreciate your opinions and insights on the topic.

I lived in San Francisco during the Willie Brown era, and the rap on him was that he was the closest thing to a Chicago-style politician you'd find anywhere outside of Chicago.

You're absolutely right. Hyper-V has historically focused on server use cases and not on the desktop experience. This has led to all sorts of rough edges on Windows desktop. That said, this is starting to change [1], and I'm optimistic we'll make more progress in this space moving forward.

> The average age of death for a US male is 78

No, you've confused life expectancy at birth with average age of death; that is, males who are born today are, on average, expected to live to around 78; when Ed Lee was born, that number was a little over 65.
Yeah it's not such a mind-blower if you are experienced in using Linux, where this is just common, but it's still really nice to not miss this when working on Windows.

However in the current version of MSYS2 (after an update a few months ago) they suddenly seem to mix the different linux-like distributions and for me it's really hard to choose which shell to use and which package to install for that shell.
It's definitely an infosec current events buzzword bingo joke.

SF city politics are petty, to put it very mildly. Brown is regarded as an operator in that he did a lot of development deals and tended to broker deals in 'smoke filled rooms' rather than being a creature of procedure. Otherwise I agree that comparing him to Trump is absurd.
Points #1 and #2 are contradictory.

A speculative instrument is the opposite of a store of value.

A 'store of value' is like real estate - low-risk, probably low-return, but you can park your money there and in X years, it's going to mostly be there. US Bonds.

Your bank account, i.e. USD is a decent, though not great 'store of value'. Your USD is not going to go $0 overnight.

Speculative investments are there to generate return almost always involve more risk.

BTC could go to $0 tomorrow. Suppose the US Gov. makes everyone legally declare their BTC assets as assets and they are subject to taxation etc.. That might pull the plug on BTC, but worse, cause a stampede crash in a highly volatile situation. There are many reasons that a rush-to-exit could happen for BTC. So - speculation - not a 'store of value'

These other fetures of BTC may have been important early on but they are not what gives it value.

Because nobody is using BTC as a currency, almost none of those points are pragmatically relevant - yes - in theory, they need to exist to have gotten it off the ground.
While true, it would be really great (although I think its too late) if people would use the term "Cryptocurrencies" instead of "Crypto", since Crypto used to mean cryptography.

Pretty much its just like the hacker v cracker debate.
It's an economic compromise. They don't have to be happy about it, just sign the agreement. Or don't and forgo those customers who will only pay that way.

I doubt cypto currency is going to help that setup at all, and most likely it will just offer more avenues to do the same.
The pair of parallel conductors (wet string) forms a balanced transmission line[1] just like the copper pair in traditional phone line. The ADSL transceivers at each end automatically adapt to the available transmission line; you'll note that instrument reports that this 2 meter line looks like 4.5km of copper; it is a very poor conductor, so the ADSL transceivers fall back to lower frequency operation, which is apparently sufficient for low speed communication.

I do wonder about impedance matching here. Traditional phone lines apparently have a characteristic impedance of either 600 or 900 ohms. That pair of wet strings look to be separated by about the right distance to produce impedance in that neighborhood, or maybe the line length is tuned to eliminate reactance. It isn't mentioned but I suspect that RevK understood this.

"I agree that this is all about culture."

Not just about culture but also legal. In the US, most states have employment at-will which means employers can fire an employee anytime without any notice and vice versa. Of course, exceptions are there for things like discrimination but you still have to prove it. In the US, a lot of states do not require you to provide any benefit to your employees other than a salary if you are a small enough business.

In many parts of the world including Asia/Europe, employers cannot just fire someone (with exceptions in extreme circumstances like a crime) and employees cannot leave immediately either. 90 days advance notice is very common.
For 3), you could say the same about most of the crypto currencies’ mathematical groundings. The properties of hash functions like SHA256 are far from guaranteed, and are subject to the same advancements in analysis and computing capabilities as those that have led to the deprecation of SHA1, MD5, etc., albeit with a different desired weakness.
