You kid but this is literally what is being proposed in industry conferences: https://www.assia-inc.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/TDSL-pr... -- sending ~200GHz [sic] RF into the dielectric spaces between copper conductors and using the copper wires as guide (same principle as Sommerfeld-Goubau lines, except massively MIMO).
(the same principle is also quite interesting to apply to above-ground power lines, btw, people have worked on that too)

People will do literally anything to avoid pulling fibre and "sending multi-hundred-gigahertz surface waves along rotten old voice copper" is apparently one of them.
eh, I only got the impression you were "on the other side" when you mentioned flipping control of congress.
Nothing will fix everything. But that wasn't my claim, so I'm having trouble seeing how your comment is being made in good faith. Is this just a "whataboutism" to imply that Democrats are just as bad so it doesn't matter?
Kind of hypocritical if you ask me since he sold out the web with EME[1].

The only entity buying stock here is Softbank (AFAIK), who is definitely not a "poor person".

Outside of the handful of companies who have previously invested in the company (who are surely accredited), most entities who would qualify for this tender would be individual early employees. The accreditation requirement is also being held to those individual stock holders and option holders at the company who want to tender a sale of them to Softbank. Many are random engineers on this forum and other early-ish employees. Many may not meet the requirements for SEC accreditation, rules which specifically delineate around the wealth of the entity.

Ask HN: What problems don't have a profitable business solution?
Are there problems that by nature can't be solved by businesses because they aren't profitable? What are they? How should they be approached?
But how far? Corrections of 30% in say Bitcoin are common. Does this matter? I would say not -- it's not something I lose sleep over. It's fine, boom and bust.

If you buy in, buy in during a consolidation phase, when you see the price is stable. Ethereum had a huge run up, yet then consolidated for around 6+ months around $300. I would say that is healthy. Now it's heading higher. "Fundamentals" aside, of course.
It looks like it ends when the 'chosen' path clicks for that round. That is, if you have a 75% chance of going on a long path and a 25% chance of hitting a rock immediately, 25% of the time it will end quickly (and not show the possible, but not chosen, path).

I, too, found that annoying.
Very true! :) Thank you, and likewise - pretty sure there's more than 100k information-hungry parents out there, so wouldn't be surprised to see the "100k to 500k"-post in the not too distant future!

I was waiting for imac pro, the current mac pro isn’t that great a speed boost over my MBP.
btw why does this downvoted? I was in the same situation when I was 20. Now with 32 I got used to working for someone else, as much as one can get used to it. I make more money, have a better office, better living area, more valuable connections. It's totally worth it.

On the other hand one of my best friends, same age, totally struggles with the concept, barely has any money, often doesn't even has a stable place to sleep.

One can fight against it, but life will fight back.
Now I see it, cool!
- Might be worth doing something to highlight which page you're on (colored text in header bar? 'tab'-like ) for people who land on a sub-page like this?
- Might be worth adding a location filter for people that are location-sensitive?
- Also might be worth having a 'clear selection' button on all pages.
- For the Culture page, the select button is below the fold.

Congress was feckless when the Democrats controlled it, too. Congress has been growing increasingly useless for the last 30 years at least.

Something is breaking in US politics. Or, rather, several things are breaking - decency, civility, honesty, common sense, and probably several other things. I don't know what the root cause is, or even if there is only one.
For better or worse (probably worse) we have a two party system, and one party has full control of Congress and the executive branch. So "flipping control" in this case means breaking that lock on power. I don't really want Democrats to hold Congress and the White House either.
Of course not! It's quite the opposite. With more and more people ditching 'real' Linux for WSL (which is a 'Linux kernel API layer' for the Windows kernel, there is actually NO Linux kernel involved), support for the relevant hardware is never going to happen in Linux proper.

I mean, it affected enough scripts I was running that I noticed the slowdown plainly as daylight when I started using Cygwin. I'm surprised you don't notice it!
Got it. So it was mostly manual investigation and content generation at first, and then users started to add their own content. Great, thanks for the answer.
From my experience, there's no such a heavy price as long as you don't rebase what you already shared with others.
I think anime's predilection for establishing shots may be due in part to its manga roots...

In "Understanding Comics", Scott McCloud analyzed the transitions made between panels in various works, and he found that sequences of transitions between different views of an environment (what he called "aspect-to-aspect") were common in manga but were nearly absent in American or European comics. I believe he attributed this to the fact that manga typically has higher page counts than other comics, allowing the authors to invest more in setting up scenes.
The staging area is trivial to use effectively.

Just:

- edit files
- git add -e
- optionally git diff --staged (to review what will go in a commit)
- optionally lather, rinse, repeat as needed
- git commit

Alternatively:

- edit files
- git add
- git commit
- lather, rinse, repeat
- git rebase -i origin/master (or whatever) and reorder/squash/edit/split commits as needed

For the latter's last step, sometimes the easiest thing to do is to squash all commits when you're done, then git reset HEAD^, then apply the git add -e && git commit loop in order to break up your work into logical commits.

When done, push.
Only 2 other women. Merkel and Thatcher.

Good see another woman on the list.
I would say don't blame the administration. Blame the corps and don't wait to vote every 4 years in the elections, vote every day with your wallet.

To start, be reactive, switch to T-Mobile or any telco that is pro-net neutrality

Then start being pro-active. Look for bad patterns in companies and punish them. For example, Google says they support net-neutrality but are happy to block amazon devices from playing youtube. Maybe it is time to give a clear message to Google that behaviors like this are not accepted by you?

Replace Google with any X company. Don't be surprised if in 20 years X-company will only allow you to access X-stuff on X-devices running on X-network.

Money is what makes the world go around. Use your money to steer the world to the direction you want.

Or, you know, just keep using Google and Verizon because it is more convenient. But in this case you lose your right to complain.
TLDR: Would anyone care to explain to me pros and cons of net neutrality and Pai's plan?

Confession: I have never really understood what net neutrality was about. So I decided to look it up (again).[1] And also asked the internet what the FCC plans to do to repeal it.[2]

I am interested in seeing actual thoughtful discussion of the issue instead of mudslinging, pretty please. I am open to hearing arguments from both sides. I just would like it served up without name calling and that sort of thing. You know: Like HN encourages routinely.

Then maybe I can decide in some kind of semi informed way if I want to help break the internet or not.

Thanks.

Obama's administration got a lot of things wrong too, but at least we won that fight, right? At least they eventually responded to their constituency? I may have the facts wrong though, please correct me if so!
We had to fight Wheeler, who then bowed to both public pressure and pressure from Obama to support net neutrality rules.

Now, can that be explained to a git newbie in under half an hour, to get them up and running?

IMO, the scary UI/UX of git is holding back the use of version control for a lot of digital documents beyond just source code. It needn't be this complicated.
There have been cases of lotteries where the expected value of a ticket, though low, was still sometimes positive. And there have absolutely been cases of people who figured that out and organized investors to buy large quantities of tickets for the return.
My instinctive response is to explain why git is easier. TFA is very unfortunate. I think the author is missing out on a better experience, and their git hate isn't helping them.
Indeed. I expected an article on rewriting software to at least cite this, if not quote from it.
something something about markets being able to stay irrational longer than an investor can stay solvent
OP mentioned below, but for clarity you are in complete agreement with the comment you replied to.
Representative democracy is in real danger, if not already lost. To me, what's damaging it is that representatives regard themselves as representing Team Red or Team Blue, instead of their constituents.

I think the coming fight is over Constitutional limits to executive power. If we lose that fight, it's game over. If we win it, we can worry about trying to fix representative democracy.
Maybe you can if you get multiple users sign up at once :-)
> The direct comparison is that anyone but Brown or Trump would never overcome their scandals.

Brown is unique in many ways, but bouncing back from scandals in SF politics isn't one of them.
Let me know how it does compared to Cygwin!
It's called Neurofeedback training. I was fortunate enough to find the person who pioneered this breakthrough treatment and she was only 30min away. There are a lot of scams so please do your research and make sure the person running the clinic has academic weight. I was fortunate to find the right person. It essentially boils down to connecting your sensory system with your motor cortex and it put you into a state that high performing athletes and Buddhist monks get into. I will also mention the way I did the treatment probably gave me above average results. So if you are doing it, you should message me so I can give you the techniques I figured out in the process.

Maybe not yet as of today, but they're coming. I have a friend (wealthy family with a substantial family office) who bought into crypto at the beginning of last year.

His dad runs quite a large traditional investment fund and knows of people in his network working at pension funds that are looking at putting money into Bitcoin / Ethereum and others. The family has done private equity deals together with some of these funds (mostly raising debt financing from them).

I'm not an extreme crypto bull, but I honestly think it's still early. But there will be massive volatility along the way.

Note: not investment advice, obviously. Just my opinion.
Although Google has announced its intent to seek trust as a root CA it has not received that trust from major trust stores. Most of the stores don't provide any tracking information but Mozilla operates entirely in the open, so you can see here that Google are some day down their list:

https://wiki.mozilla.org/CA/Dashboard#Information_Verificati...

Mozilla's process takes about two years on average (Google know what they're doing so it might be 18 months, people who are hapless or clueless often take 5+ years and give up) and most other trust stores seem to take longer, although heaven only knows what they're doing since we can't see it.

Sorry, I break things :-) I actually wanted the questions to think about how our company would respond to them since we don't implement many of them.
I especially use:

- git add -e

- git rebase -i --autostash <upstream>

- git checkout -f -- <file> (to undo changes)

- git diff/log (of course)

- git reset HEAD^ (to undo the head commit but leave its changes extant in the workspace so I can then git add -e and commit them in logical units)

My limited experience with WSL gave me the impression that anything that needed /low level/ packet constructs either wasn't mapped correctly or might have required administrative privilege blessing on the Windows side of the environment ACLs.

I hope that these get filled out, at least with more constructive error returns, at some later date.

For now, I'm happy that they have enough of the low hanging fruit ripened sufficiently to make it possible to do 'normal' things from within WSL. I'd honestly rather they make the local (and network) filesystem more performant and robust; maybe they have.

My use case for WSL is coming around in the calendar year again so I'll be revisiting it soon.
Isn't this true for all apps? If an app is performant and polished, while also following UI/UX guidelines, it has just as good of a chance to be featured if is React vs Native? Is there anything that goes against this? Or is the idea its much harder to follow UI/UX guides while using a hybrid system?
I can sympathize with the idea of relying more on market-based approaches, but in my view that would require pretty aggressive anti-trust enforcement. In other words: I can see an argument for allowing monopolies but regulating them heavily (a-la the AT&T of old), or for light regulation in a highly competitive market (and relying on competition to prevent companies from screwing their customers).

It seems like most Republicans want neither significant regulation nor significant anti-trust enforcement, and I just can't see how they would honestly expect that to produce any result other than a small number of monopolies charging customers whatever they want and ramming whatever practices they want down their customers' throats.
"Grow even before you launch" and "Go big or go home" really resonate with me.

We were able to sign up a few thousand people to our new product waitlist through two main channels: exhibiting at conferences and answering questions on Quora. In the past, I would have just done a small beta with friends, but I guess I'm getting a little wiser over the years :)

Going big from the beginning is really a tough one. I already got burned at a previous startup by not narrowing the focus enough, but it really depends on the market and the type of product you are building. We're building a product for college students, which is a big group, so it's a toss-up whether to go after a certain category of students or go after them all. We're casting a wide net for now with the idea that our product will resonate with certain subgroups which we can focus later.

You are not paying anything.
Well that's not productive at all. If anything, the HN comment section is the best place on the internet I know of to actually hear reasonable explanation of this.
The problem with that argument, is it's damn near impossible to simply buy your way out of a rigged system. It's a nice premise, shopping ethically, but much like recycling isn't going to stop climate change, there's only so much power an individual consumer has in a large and complex system with perverse incentives.
I think it's being downvoted because it comes over as uncharitable and even petty.

A computer scientist is one who practises and/or studies computer science, which she does. No, that doesn't require a CS degree, though it helps.
There was a study from Johns Hopkins equating a millimeter wave scan to the amount of radiation received in a bad sunburn.
Backscatter X-ray is worse than millimeter wave and if the transmitter is further away they’d necessarily have to increase the power.

I’m not sure I’d ever willingly enter a place known to be using that technology.
Sunk cost though. I use parking tickets as bookmarks. At least I'm getting some value out of them.
It seems it only available in Administrator mode, to enable it for normal user, you have to add "C:\Windows\System32\OpenSSH" to your PATH.
I don't like to admit it, but I'm in the same boat as you. I've heard NN used, depending on the context, to refer to prohibition of:

1) Throttling sites the ISP doesn't like.

2) Any kind of penalty for heavier users.

3) Charging for access to special pipes that are faster, when both sides want to pay a premium for speed and reliability.

Unless I ask directly I have a hard time discerning what someone means by NN, and even then I don't know how well it maps to what new regulations will actually do.

Edit: Another attempt at clarifying first sentence.
You're right to think it's strange, because it is. It's a tax that was created long ago to try and close a loophole used by executives, but in today's world, it functions as a barrier to participation in the wealth created by young companies.

One could view the AMT as explicitly serving as a way to prevent poor/middle class people from becoming wealthy by way of stock options.
I was super excited at the announcement of the iMac Pro. But then I saw the lack of upgradable memory. Couple with the price, that's a hard pass.

Having no idea how an SSH server is intended to work on Windows, I have a question:

Like other currencies, it is all about confidence. Why do people work so hard for $USD which has no inherent value? Because it has value due to people's confidence in it. And the comes from having an entire society and tax system based on that currency.

Now with Bitcoin the confidence is coming more from speculation as to what it could be, and that indeed a "greater fool" will buy for a higher price - but with the finance casino preparing to add this game to their game floor, there is a good chance you will find such fools.

I saw today a car being advertised for sale 1 BTC. I live in a very non-tech city so word is spreading. There are limited coins and demand will increase. Newcomers will not question or care about "oh it used to be $50 for 10000 BTC why should I pay this much"
It's clear where this debate is going. But to take us back to where we started, I would suggest that it's highly unlikely that a Clinton-administration FCC would be preparing to repeal the Title II protections for broadband. Not that I don't care about plenty of other issues, but the difference on this one seems clear.
I tried to follow the concept of minimalism a few years ago. For everyone else who is struggling with it: don't stress out because you can't live with one backpack.
Yes, you can get rid of a lot of stuff and you should do it, but don't do it too extreme. I don't want to live without my music instruments or my sports (which requires a lot of gear) - don't fall into the trap as I did and feel bad for owning it.

Start small and collect all the stuff you didn't touch for more than 1 year - don't throw it away, just put it in the cellar and after a few months realising you don't need/want it give it away.
As a non-american, both side seem to be equally part of "they". H. Clinton is only the "other side" of Trump because the american politic system is de facto bipartite. Which easily answer one's wonder: "they" did not only get half the vote, "they" got all of them.

To the question "how did they got the vote to be finalist", I'm afraid I don't have a better answer that the one that's repeated and repeated so much that it's becoming a gimmick: money, media, fear and stupidity

A power user isn’t getting 8 gigs ram, a 3.4 Gighz processor or a fusion drive. With 4.4 Gighz professor, 32 gigs ram, and 512 SSD, $3,300.

But again, why skimp to save even a measly $3k if you are worth $50+/hour?
It's almost tragic poetic justice that all the people on the right /and/ left that were trying to convince the middle that you don't concentrate so much unaccountable power in the Executive Branch during the Obama years only had to wait until the next election cycle to see what happens when someone truly unfit for that power grabs the reins.
