I'm not sure it's Javascript's fault. The ecosystem that is using it would have found a language to live somewhere.

The idiom of ephemeral, throw away, spaghetti of dependencies was born out of the way the web platform moved forward, the short lived nature of websites and web apps, and the spread of developers with different backgrounds that were working on it all.

If we were using Javascript to develop native windows apps then I am sure the ecosystem would be very different. However, that would be dumb, right? cough

Ubuntu 16.04 + Firefox 57, Ubuntu 16.04 + Chromium 62.0.3202.89, macOS Sierra + Firefox 57. Inaccessible to me on all - the font is too thin for me to read. I can't scale the font size up high enough either as the layout breaks. I used the `font-weight` hack initially, but after I clicked a couple of internal links that reset the override, I gave up.
yeah, democracy is overrated.
My company has 13 employees, and was just 8 for a long time. So they adopted the policy of inviting partners/significant others as well.

It really changes the tone of the Christmas party, in a good way. And it's a nice gesture for the partners/significant others, making it easier for them to tolerate the occasional late nights.

A really great idea IMO, though it's probably hard to scale up.
It's not obvious to me that "fundamentals" apply here. This is literally unprecedented and the Internet economy is uncharted territory.

I'd consider Youtube to be one of the top easiest sites to get one's data (or someone else's!) out of. Why do you think it's not?

You're the only one doing this. The article omits any justification for the terms, sure. And it could be a baseless claim. But I don't really see any reason to assume that's the case.

These technicalities are important, because they represent the bulk of the question: "what is NN?"

"There isn't enough good science."

... and yet you quote some rather good science wrt glaciation periods etc (I doubt you did it yourself)

The thing is that we live at the moment as we are with the world as it is. For example if the sea level rose say 1m (4 feet), what would that do to say FL which is rather low lying? The weather will continue to get wilder and wilder. I happen to live on the side of a hill in Yeovil, Somerset, UK (I'm alright, probably). Somerset has a low lying region called the Levels and recently they flooded badly - that will happen more often.

We have a lot of data and a lot of papers and a lot of models that predict a nasty end. Your "hockey stick" example is bollocks - the paper was sound but the interpretation by some was not.

The ridiculous thing is that although no one with a scientific bent has mentioned it, have you noticed just how odd the weather has been over the last decade? Records for hot and cold and wet etc are being broken "since records began" quite often.

"And lastly, if I accept climate change as a result of human activity I say we still don't have decent models."

Have you done any research on this whatsoever?

This is exactly my point.

Why are you so certain?

How can you tell the difference between this and any other technology adoption logistic curve?

People make statements like you do with 100% confidence, and you could very well be right! But where do you get your certainty?

And were you equally certain about the inevitable demise of cryptocurrencies when the market was 1% or 10% of its current size?

The problem with the numbers is "Angular 2.x" is actually "Angular 2+"; they're currently up to Angular 5.x.

I don't understand how traffic directionality affects peering. The path of routers between the client and the server handle all packets. The fact that the source is mostly from one size doesn't affect the load on the routers, they're still handling the same number of packets whether the traffic is symmetric or not.
The same can be said to all programming languages...
It isn't crazy to imagine crypto becoming adopted for actual transactions. Even if people are currently speculating, they're still downloading wallets they can spend from and loading it up with currency. For all these users there is now nearly zero obstacles to spending. This isn't even to say bitcoin is the transaction layer, but bitcoin still provides liquidity to any alt/2nd layer solution.

Maybe its because the data input is bad.

The models that used to predict the warming can't even output data that matches the observed data.

The iPhone 6 problems are well known (couple HN stories with one being slowing it down to avoid the heating). Having bought 4[1] and replace 3 (well 1 twice for a total of 4), and dealing with several Macbook Pros that swelled batteries when they got hot, I'm a bit worried.

I think the trash can Mac is a bad example since they didn't go for thin or integrated display.

I'm really not sold on their thermal architecture claim since they made the same one on the Macbook Pros and that didn't turn out well. I'm hopeful, but I have my doubts. I would imagine some folks are going to do the tests like they did on the iPhone 6 to see if it slows under extended load.

@stared Thanks for that wonderful game. I played through all levels some months ago and really liked it. When I saw that interactive quantum link [1] on the front page today, I was reminded of your game and thought some other might like it too.

Thanks again for building it, it was the first time I could actually bring my mind to embracing quantum mechanics :-)

Quantum annealing can be used for optimization of functions. Shor’s algorithm of integer factorization would solve (and cause) a whole host of problems for us.

But in general, quantum computer is not strictly a superset of improvement over Turing machine. It’s just different. And while it might reduces your database query time, unless you are already working at that abstraction it might probably be invisible changes for you.

That seems orthogonal to my comment. I was responding to the parent comment on what net neutrality even is, not trying to debate its merits.
The state isn't meddling in those choices. The state is simply saying that if you're going to offer a security, you have to disclose things about it. Thus, enabling people to make those choices.

It's not laser cut. I used a MakerBot Replicator 2. It was actually quite easy to print. I designed it roughly two years ago after browsing thingiverse and getting bad print results with the larger stands. The smaller single-piece stands were too flimsy/unstable. I also wanted the stand to be just big enough to fit a Lenovo docking station under it.

I wonder if this is one of the reasons why the phone system standardized on 48 volts. With DC, you need to get above about 60 volts to have any chance of lethality. If someone were to grab the barbed wire, they'd get a jolt, but it wouldn't kill them.
Dyalog appears to be more popular with conferences and more products, but it costs $1k ish for a commercial license and nobody else can run your code without a license and server licenses aren't cheap. It also pretty much needs a special keyboard and a key mapping. J is free for pretty much everything and uses standard characters (although I really like the APL characters). I think they're both nice.
The reason the internet was pretty good without any rules for the first 20 years is because big commercial interests didn't understand it...only in the past 10 years...

Google can. So that does not apply.

If nobody outside Google can test the algorithm, by definition it isn't auditable.

Adding arbitrary human behavior to those decisions only makes it worse.

Neural networks are derived from human behavior - they don't magically divine the spirit of what you want to do, they're an approximation based on training data someone has to put together.
I suspect that the reviewers see LOTS of low-quality apps written on portable frameworks every day. These are accessible and cheap options for doing quick development, and unfortunately that means that lots of junk gets churned out on them, and some of it even looks pretty decent since there are so many free UI frameworks. There are some platforms that are almost as easy and cheap to use as wordpress.

A company that does a respectable job of developing a nice-looking and performant native-application is going to stand very far apart from this crowd. The same company may have done just as well in terms of performance and UI conformity with React Native but will they stand out as well to tired and jaded reviewers? I think that is what the OP is getting at. No one can predict who will be featured, but true native is probably one thing that helps.

Please be charitable in your replies on HN. I did not claim CO2 measurements were fabricated.
First, if you sell software for money, you have a business.

What you're really asking is "when should I setup complicated legal structure to represent my business"?

Are you making money? If not, then you don't need complicated legal structure.

Are you making a lot of money? If not, then you probably don't need complicated legal structure.

Even if you make a lot of money but are a solo owner, they you don't need complicated legal structure.

Note "need" vs. "want". There are "want" reasons to setup complicated legal structure even if there's no "need" reason.

I've been selling software under DBA (sole proprietorship) because setting up and maintaining an LLC (which is the simplest/cheapest business structure) is an expense and time sink.

DBA allows me to sell under a fictitious name (e.g. "Awesome Software" vs. using my name like "John Doe") but is trivial to establish and very cheap.

So when do you need establish a business structure?

Do you have partners? Investors? Will hire people? Your accountant told you can save on taxes if you setup LLC or S-Corp?

Those are good reasons to setup complicated legal structure.
Medical and health are significantly harmed by most for-profit models. You pay your doctor and big pharma for treatment, not for a resolution of the problem. This is an inherent conflict of interest.

I am still trying to solve that angle and may never figure it out. Figuring out monetization is even further out and looks pretty hopeless.

Sea ice melt is a bit of a worry if you are a polar bear that hunts on pack ice but for sea rise the real snag is land based glaciers melting into the sea. Greenland may be off your radar but it is a bit of a worry - lot of ice turning into water there, along with other places.

That's a rebate if you provide proof of purchase though, and a rebate for general use. Neither of those discounts are something that relies on the electric company knowing what is plugged into your house at any given moment, because _they cant_ tell what's hooked up at any given moment.

If net neutrality goes away ISPs not only will be able to tell what you are doing, but they will charge you more for it too. You can always try to use a VPN but nothing is stopping ISPs from charging x100 times the normal rate for VPN traffic or telling your von provider that they need to cough up if they don't want their traffic slowed.

All of this might even be acceptable if ISPs were just in the internet business. Companies would bid up for use of the internet the same way that Google is pulling some of the best engineers by paying triple what a small business in the Midwest would pay even though they both need software engineers.

Unfortunately ISPs are also in other industries like content, and they are going to be incentivized to nuke their competitors. Since the US apparently has no concept of enforcing anti trust laws anymore, ISPs can just slowly chip their way into other internet based businesses. They can either get into industries themselves or they can blackmail industry leaders to stay faster than competitors. That will lead to both increased prices for consumers as companies pass on their costs, as well as a lack of any competition because there's now a giant wall of ISP fees to overcome for any startup to try and compete with.
There are a lot of wonderful, elaborate, technical replies to your post. But the simple version is this:

The major ISP endgame is to have a cut of every single transaction that happens on the internet over their pipes (from both ends)... well... if they aren't already the ones selling the product in the first place, that is.

They are chomping at the bit to flex their monopolist, anti-competitive muscles to achieve that goal. They will go as far as we let them (just as any self-interested party would in their unique position).

Net-neutrality rules helped (somewhat) to stop them. If you think that possible future is bad, you probably ought to support net-neutrality.
> Why are you so certain?

Because the fundamentals of Bitcoin and The Blockchain are complete garbage. Both are solutions in search of problems. Neither solve any real world problems outside of how to conduct shady, illegal business (murder for hire, crypto-ransomware, mail-order bath-salt delivery) and both do a pretty piss-poor job of even that.

This is why bitcoin will ultimately fail. It is a useless product. Full stop.
journalism?
While cryptocurrencies are mostly used for trading, I think it is a technology with great potential.

There are still several unsolved problems with cryptocurrencies like having to keep a large database on disk and slow transactions (and illegal status in some countries). They are not protected from 50% attack by governments. When they are resolved, it can become really good alternative to card systems.

VISA has many disadvantages compared to Bitcoin:

- it uses outdated technology and is absolutely insecure (card details are easily stolen and sold in large volumes, they still use unencrypted magnetic stripe)

- it can require paperwork and a deposit to accept payments. It is difficult if you do something legally gray (for example, related to porn)

- it is difficult to get a card without identification even if you are not going to do anything illegal

- transaction cost is high for small payments

- US government forbids to use VISA on some territories for political reasons

- merchants often refuse to accept cards from some banks or some regions (for example: Digital Ocean doesn't accept some prepaid virtual cards)

- companies can collect and exchange customer data when they pay with a card. Because it has your name.

- the data on transactions from all countries go through systems controlled by US

It is only natural to replace those outdated magnetic card systems.
