Those aren't equivalent comparisons. The issues with Ethereum have all been with regards to implementations of applications on top of the ETH layer - parity bug and DAO hack being the two biggest. Neither was due to mistakes in the underlying Ethereum protocol, both had to do with something that someone made using Ethereum.

If I make a vulnerable website it's not nginx/Django/Postgres's fault.

The reason Ethereum hasn't taken over the dominant position yet probably has more to do with Bitcoin's superior brand penetration. Most Bitcoin holders that I know personally have very little actual understanding of how any of the crypto currencies work under the hood, so they follow the general sentiment of the community/press and do not invest based on technical merits.
No, it does not depend on which card you're using. Everything costs a few percentage points more because of fees for the merchant. You pay this no matter what card you're using. They don't offer you a different price for using a specific card, though a handful do for using cash (gasoline comes to mind).

Absolutely, but I think it can also be said that it's a pretty messed up system where it requires that will to succeed to have success.
Henry George was alive during a time when the amount of currency the government could create was constrained by the size of its gold reserves.

These days, the amount of money the government is able to spend has very little to do with the size of their tax revenues. You can certainly tax landowners, but you should only do so if you want to punish people for owning land. The money you collect is meaningless.

As has been mentioned by me and others in other comments, basic income will push down real estate prices all on its own.

That phrase, and the combination of 'monopoly' and 'investor class' tends to jar me because as I see it the truth is exactly opposite to the sentiment expressed. Rather than protect the 'investment class' it protects people who can't afford to lose all of their investment.

Part of the problem is a sort of systemic survivor bias where the accredited investors rarely talk about all the times they lost all of their investment, and instead focus on the ones where they made money (the more disproportionate the better). The reality is the most of the investment opportunities that are offered only to accredited investors lose money, and what that translates to is that most people, if allowed to invest in these things, would lose money they couldn't afford to lose.

It can be hard to see that when an angel investor crows about a huge payday from someone they helped get started. And in hindsight it is "easy" to see how that deal made perfect sense. But imagine if you were allowed in on Uber's last fundraising round and now they are in danger of a 40% 'down round' courtesy of SoftBank? That second mortgage you took out on the 'hottest startup in the bay area' starts looking like you're going to have to pay it back by your own labor.

Another argument I have heard made is "Hey, it's my money and who are you to tell me how to invest it?" (note told in the first person even though the 'you' reading this or commenting on it may have never made such an argument). I totally understand and resonate with that argument, but when you do invest it with someone who was very slick and had you completely believing that they could turn dog poo into gold, and it turns out after you lost your entire investment that they never really could and there was evidence in their books or history that, had you known, you never would have invested. Then you want them punished some how, but for what? Lying through omission and tricking you out of your money? And we have a system for that, its a bunch of regulations, imposed by the SEC, which allows the SEC to fine or jail people who violate them. And they include things like FD or Full Disclosure rules which demand they cannot lie to you by omission or it is on them. And if an investment is legit and they want to offer it to non-accredited investors, then the person selling the securities will go through the necessary hoops and there won't be an issue selling them to you.
Yes; the money venture capitalists invest comes from other funds, among them things like pension funds.

A fact people seem to overlook in these discussions is that unless you can see the future, you can't just invest in Google and Airbnb; you invest in a sample of the whole tech startup market. And when you do that, by and large, you underperform the S&P 500.

Funds and endowments invest as VC LPs not simply because they want access to the insane deals that startups provide, but because they want decorrelated investments: they want some of their money allocated to investments that will perform differently than the market as a whole. When you have billions under management, it makes total sense to throw tens of millions at tech startups.

That's too harsh. People don't go to twitter for lengthy paragraphs or op-eds. They go there for concise humor, news and generally just to find out what is happening with the world.

You're ignoring the real-time connectivity that twitter offers to the entire world. No other platform comes close.

And sometimes, this concise thought platform is not enough to share an in-depth thought. Hence, this.

My only complaint here is that this took way too long. Things must move really slow at twitter.

Mike, I don't know what you think you're doing, but you threatened to ban zenspider simply because they asked to have their issue reopened, and you actually banned me because I pointed out that your behavior was unacceptable. I'd go so far as to say you're actually violating your own Code of Conduct, and if you had any sense whatsoever, you'd immediately stop interacting with the community and appoint someone else to handle all tickets from here on out.

Is $140 a Reasonable Price for Buying an “Internet Keyword?”
How does your argument handle the issue that it's not possible to ask every single person in the country to understand how cancer drug safety works, how food safety for poultry works, what makes a restaurant kitchen safe, and how to properly construct a building that won't fall on your head? All those in addition to the hundreds of thousands of other things I'd have to deeply understand in order to keep myself safe?

It is not possible or reasonable to expect people to have enough information on all of these topics in their heads at every moment they might make a decision.

Not only that, the people who want to open a restaurant in an unsafe building or sell you tainted meat have a clear incentive to hide that information from you and from everyone else.

In this world, how could anybody make a good decision on the thousands of things we buy or use during daily life? Even with perfect information, which is strongly disincentivized?

Regulations solve this issue by hiring the government to figure out and enforce the best way to prevent these issues so that every time we go out to dinner we don't have to ask the waiter "Which of these walls is load-bearing?".
It looks like this API in particular expects all requests to have a User-Agent header, and we don't set one by default. Setting any user agent appears to work; the issue isn't with the `Accept` header.

You can reproduce with curl with the following command:

curl -v 'https://oneom.tk/data/config' -H 'Accept: application/json' -H 'User-Agent:'

That'll nullify the default curl user agent and should produce the same results you were seeing with urllib3.

CompactFlash cards still support PATA so not entirely useless.
My guess is that their line of thinking is something like:

- 4 x thunderbolt 3 gives plenty of expansion options for things like external high-speed storage, external gpu, 4k+ monitors, etc.

- what can't be upgraded via thunderbolt 3 (ie cpu, ram) are components which should have a performance-value "half-life" that keeps the workstation productive for at least 3-5 years. (imac pro is configurable to up to 128gb ram and 18-core turbo-boost up to 4.5Ghz) with cpus having a less steep single-core performance curve over the last 5 years I think they're betting that this cpu would be competitive for at least 3-5 years. The same bet can't be made for the gpu but I supposed the thunderbolt 3 ports may help alleviate that worry.

- lastly their market research and projections about what the pro-workstation competitive landscape looks like in the next 3-5 years likely informed these decisions and releasing this product during a time when other "pro" mac options aren't looking too hot will certainly helps bolster it's sales.

I think they're targeting a "creative-professional" demographic that will likely just "buy a new one" in ~3-4 years as well as another demographic ("prosumer"?) that is purchasing more power than they actually need so they'll likely be happy with the machine for ~4-6 years and will act as raving Apple evangelists during those 4-6 years.

If you have an aversion to their offerings you're likely not part of their target demo and they've likely accounted for your demographic not being interested but there's still thousands, if not millions of consumers who will bite.

I hope they come out with a more upgradeable mac pro but if they didn't and I was in the market for a pro desktop I'd still be happy with the iMac pro. If they do come out with a more upgradeable mac pro I would be surprised if you could configure it with a 5k Apple display and meet the imac pro's price-point so there's that to consider as well.

There's three things you can do with a super hyped market.

1. Stay far, far away.

2. Believe the hype.

3. Don't believe the hype, but try to make some money, and then get out before it all falls apart. This tends to get converted into 2 in your own thinking, because you're making all this money for a while.

The safe option is to stay out. Yes, you may miss some gains. You should still have a shirt left at the end of the day, though.
We should upvote both the story and your comment. I've never seen such an elegant debunking of the suggestion that aluminum causes X disease and it would be a shame if the rest of HN readers never get to see it because this submission gets nuked.
I suspect "works" is strong - if there's no preemption, it's very easy to hit a deadlock. Consider a program that e.g. mines bitcoin on one goroutine and displays UI on the other. On any normal platform, the UI goroutine would get scheduled on a thread at least occasionally, but if you only have one thread to go around and no preemption, the mining task could just keep mining forever.

No, this is referencing a previous study. A control group in this study is needed to demonstrate that the particular method they used, and the experimental environment they used it in, can actually show a difference in aluminium concentrations between ASD and non-ASD samples.
How it adapts to poor line characteristics? Seems that ADSL uses multiple frequency bins, probing each for signal-to-noise ratio and choosing parameters accordingly, because different lines have different attenuation/noise on different frequency ranges.

I urge you to consider selection bias here

Consider it? Hell, I openly admitted to it.
DSL transfers data over specific frequencies. Certain frequencies will resonate better than others over certain lines. Here is an image of a line test conducted for a VDSL2 customer: http://wut.nz/images/spm/1027296.jpg. The redder the graph, the faster (up to the maximum VDSL2 speed) the connection is.

The vertical line is when the connection spontaneously resynced, and a new speed was attained based on the new conditions of the line.

For this particular customer, you can see that tones 410-460 show no transfer at all. This causes a reduction in speed, since those frequencies couldn't be used.
That's right, concurrency model does not break anything but still there are multiple concerns :

1) async/await are not supported in ES5, so after translating code from Go to JS I would also need to babelize it!

2) parallelism is not preserved

3) maybe it's just me, but in fat client apps it's all about event handling and data flow, co-rotines are not very useful there. But in Golang it's the most powerful feature ever(IMHO)
> Why on Earth do you think producers will be unable to raise prices?

One of the cool things about basic income is that because it distributes the incomes evenly, it flattens out the demand curve or increases the price elasticity of demand. This means that (even absent competition) if producers raise prices, they'll lose customers. Conversely, if they lower prices they'll get more customers.

A basic income creates an incentive for producers to keep their prices low. This incentive is higher than it would be without the basic income.

Another way to think about it is that basic income, doesn't give people more money to spend on goods they're already buying. Instead, it gives money to more people to spend on goods they wouldn't have bought before. It's the difference between giving money primarily to people who already have it and giving money to people who don't.

Basic income allows the economy to start activating previously unused productive capacity that was already available.

Of course this doesn't work for goods whose production is being constrained by resource limits. For example, under basic income, you might see the price of meat rise, which would cause people to buy less meat and substitute other types of food. We have the capacity to feed the world, but we don't necessarily have the capacity to feed everyone meat 24/7.

You make valid points, but I have to say that tweetstorms do have interesting benefits:

1. Each sentence is its own tweet, and thus can be starred or retweeted on its own. This lets certain 'key ideas' or 'best lines' in a tweetstorm go viral, and brings interested readers to the full tweetstorm that otherwise wouldn't have bothered if they weren't hooked by the best part of it and had to see a full paragraph or blog post. When scrolling, you can also see the parts of the tweetstorm that got the most likes.

2. People can reply to different parts of the tweetstorm, creating subthreads, allowing useful discussions to branch off of different parts of the tweetstorm.

3. By forcing people through a clunky UX, you still force them to condense their ideas. Most writing is much longer than it needs to be. For example, I think most books I've read would improve by being 10-50% shorter. Twitter for sure has downsides, but it is nice to have at least one writing platform that errs on forcing people to the side of 'too short' rather than 'too long'.

Not the OP, but omitting support for SRV records in HTTP/2 was a terrible missed opportunity, as I’ve written about here before:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8404788

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8550133

I quote myself: “It really is no surprise that Google is not interested in this, since Google does not suffer from any of those problems which using SRV records for HTTP would solve. It’s only users which could more easily run their own web servers closer to the edges of the network which would benefit, not the large companies which has CDNs and BGP AS numbers to fix any shortcomings the hard way. Google has already done the hard work of solving this problem for themselves – of course they want to keep the problem for everybody else.”
Hmm. I don't trust any external CDN, to be honest. No matter which one you choose, you lock yourself dead into the vendor - should it decide to kick you off for whatever reason you're toast, but especially I'm afraid of doing a tiny mistake in AWS leading to accidental disclosure of private data.

Such "hacks" have hit too many too big firms for me.

Lots of hate in this thread.

I think tweetstorms are 1) actually useful, 2) obviously something people are using twitter for and 3) better improvement than the character expansion.

The character limit combined with the threading, made people really think when writing, rather than blathering on - in other words, it forced people to edit themselves.

It's strange they made this change AFTER they made the character limit change (and it seems maybe less useful now), but it's still long-overdue.
Why do you say 50% taxes on RSUs? You pay tax on them as normal income for their equivalent cash value at vesting. If you want to immediately sell you can. RSUs suck only when the company has one year vesting schedules. Quarterly or monthly vesting schedules work fine by me.

Yeesh! Does anyone remember Usenet? It was an efficient way to have a public conversation online, it had "threads," and people could use any of a number of clients to read it. I don't do Twitter, but its main value seemed to be limiting participants to 140 characters, i.e. a single sentence. It would be far easier and cheaper to do this by hosting a free NNTP server with analytics and ads.
They don't allow comments because the links are too old. But I was referring to the comment history of the accounts posting those links, not to the links themselves.
I was thinking of that too, especially of all the personal problems the characters had in Evangelion. I had to stop watching because of the main protagonist repeatedly asking why his father doesn't show any love for him. A lot of people are into those story-lines, and I guess it partly explains Evangelion's popularity with women too.
