> Yet this is confusing to me since presumably we're speaking of older individuals. Young individuals are, generally, still earning money and so they are already sustaining their own livelihood regardless of their savings (or [sudden] lack thereof).

Plenty of young people are easily to dupe with get-rich-schemes too. And earning money is not that helpful, especially on the poorer end - I mean, imagine that right now all your savings went to 0. Somebody cleared out your savings account and all the spare cash you happen to store around the house. Are you comfortable with that situation because you still have your job? Now consider a person on a regular, shitty, low-paying high-demand job. A loss of all money buffer can, through small unexpected expenses, quickly push someone into poverty.

So now these people stop contributing to GDP, because they can't hold a job (had to sell a car to eat, etc.), and they get on welfare, and they are unhappy and spread that unhappiness around, and if there's enough of them, they'll make a stink in the media about government not doing enough to protect their people.

This is not something socially desirable.
It's not that speculative on the long term IMO.

In the 80s and 90s, we found a way of connecting many computers together and here we are.

Now we found a way to create programmable: trust, value, scarcity and incentives. If that's not going to change the society over the next 20-30 years, I don't know what will.

Only land ownership could remain in the space of interest of governments then (being immovable).
The simple way to solve this is charge larger customers more. Usage caps have been 100% the norm in Australia since the end of the dial up era. Of course we have other unrelated internet issues, (NBN CVC usage cost crippling ISPs, etc) I pay $69.99 AUD for the ability to transfer 1TB of data in total, up and down, over my ADSL2 connection at “full speed” before the ISP will throttle me down to something like 128 or 256 kbps which either way is uselessly slow (insert web page bloat rant here) until the end of the calendar month when the counters reset. If I ran a torrent client uploading lots of bits, all I would do is “burn my allotment faster” thereby creating an incentive for me to not abuse their network, at the same time as me paying a rate proportional to my use of their network capacity.
I'd imagine every single Fortune 500 company uses SAML. I'd be surprised if many in the Fortune 5000 didn't use it.

Sailpoint (a large enterprise SSO/SAML vendor) IPOed at $1B in early November. I think they are probably smaller than Ping Identity.

Don't use SAML if you don't have to (it's horrible to program!). But it is very widely adopted.
Sheets isn't meant to make Excel power users happy. Nothing can without being a shameless clone.

It's for the other 97%. A list here; a table and a chart there. Now to make it look pretty.
I like this "apljk" language one the most. It can feel at times a bit dumbed down compared to K, but it has a more regular syntax.
Apple Airport is probably the best router I have ever owned. Not the fastest, but extremely Stable, based on NetBSD and from a company that makes money on my hardware rather then my Data.

I really hope they will have an 802.11ax version once they iron out all the crap that is going on in there.

I'm not sure I'm willing to credit him with more than a Thank You, Captain Obvious, award.

The other nominee, Jeff Mateer, is an obscene choice by either incompetents or malicious people. Mateer has said transgender children are part of "Satan's plan." This psychotic religious nonsense injected into government should not be socially acceptable behavior in a thinking society. Someone should be fired.

But because Trump claims he hires all of the best people, we have to take the selection seriously as intentional. And since the buck stops with the president, you have to accept that he's the one whose incompetent if he isn't neither hiring good people, nor firing them when they fail this spectacularly.
Ask HN: How to sell our IP?
My cofounder and I have a payments startup that couples consumer-facing ACH with international payout. We’ve raised about $500k of convertible debt, mostly in chunks of $25-50k from angels (a process that can only be described as excruciating). We’ve both been C-level execs at startups with > $30M in revenue and successful exits, but we’ve had a difficult time raising institutional money - partly because of where we’re located, and partly because we’ve done a poor job of telling our story.

We’re set up for consumer-facing ACH, with a nice KYC process (custom Yodlee integration, mobile photo id upload). We have a very favorable banking contract - an FBO account with great pricing, generous limits, a direct-to-Fed ACH provider, and terms that may allow ACH cryptocurrency conversion. We also have the ability to pay out to about 30 countries in South America, Africa, and Asia. The flow of funds is completely automated including reversals. It’s a modern code base : Golang/Redis/Postgres on AWS (~120k LOC).

We’ve just launched the product in beta, and have about a dozen SMB customers but we’re completely broke. Our product is somewhat differentiated (other unique features, not relevant here), but given the increasingly crowded payments landscape, we feel we’d need a 7-figure raise to make a go of it, and that doesn’t seem likely in the short term.

With that in mind, we’d like to see if we can find a home for the codebase. Given the rapidly expanding number of companies doing consumer-facing ACH, we feel the product probably has value to someone, but we have no idea how to find them. Normally, a well-connected VC would help with this. Suggestions??

It loads jquery from ajax.googleapis.com (I'd prefer it didn't, but ohwell). Other than that, you only need the domain unblocked for it to work (I also block js by default because I do not like it :) ).
Hi there, I can try to answer this question from a user perspective. I was an early Winnie user in their public beta and it's one of my top two favorite startups that has launched in the last couple of years.

Initially it did feel like an empty room, but this was before the ability to start discussions with other users and ask questions. Initially you could only add reviews of places. I remember adding a couple of reviews and since I didn't get any immediate engagement from other users it felt like I was adding valuable content but it wouldn't really be useful until they got a large number of users.

When discussions became available the biggest thing was that Anne and her co-founder Sara were really active users and shared their knowledge of being parents. Every single post that I added was liked and/or commented on by them. If you asked a parenting question or posted something in the early days it would be answered/commented/liked by Anne and Sara and often within minutes. They also would add valuable and engaging content on a daily basis whether it was an interesting article, something funny, or just asking a question that could be answered by users and start a discussion. When you see how active both of them were it makes you feel like posting something or commenting is okay and at least going to be acknowledged and appreciated by them even if there weren't a whole lot of other users that were active. I always knew that in the early days the biggest thing was just continuing to add valuable content and eventually the engagement would follow. After a few weeks I started to see other users become more active and start liking my posts and adding their own which just continued to grow until they got to some of their big growth events like being featured in the app store or launching their daycare directory.

The reason Rob's statements matter is because he's the authority on Go. If you had been a primary inventor of a new language, I'm guaranteeing you'd feel entitled to decide what it is and is not. Not have "pjmlp" debate endlessly over something you had already stated was simply not true.

A lot of things work, doesn't mean they meet strict litmus tests (which matter, because definitions matter), nor does it mean it's a good idea.
Hey, thank you for contributing to one of my favorite pieces of software :) The Fish shell is my primary choice, because it's so intuitive and easy to use. I never encountered a situation where the Fish shell behaved contrary to my expectations. I do wish there was a native Windows version, because that's where I spend 50% of my digital time, but only because it's so great.
I worry about the fact that you're being downvoted, because what you're saying is utterly crucial and important. I fear those who ignore it will waste a lot of time with really misguided ways of doing mathematics. The analogy approach works for programming, but it's not applicable to seriously studying mathematics.

Surely not for experimental demonstrations of new tech such as this. Maybe if the creator wanted to monetise or present to the widest audience, sure, but this is aimed at a sector that is 99% going to have access to Chrome or Safari.
Matter is a subjective experience. An atom is only an atom because it feels like something to be an atom. Qualia is the basis for all existence. The world is a feeling. No need for duality. Feeling is the a priori element.

The web, and social media in particular is as addictive, and perhaps even as damaging as smoking ever was (is), albeit in less obviously perceptible ways. This is a good move.
It probably is also the case that the language used in sci articles is constantly changing, too.

We may take advantage of libraries in programming (but even then they may not work on all of the physical platforms), but it's not that well defined, what is "the fundamental language" of mathematics; at least not as of today.

Although I find it cool that tools like Coq are getting increasingly popular, so we will eventually get there.
Nah, you've guessed right - I would like it to be more common for kids to use their electronic devices for learning, creating, and generally solving their own problems (instead of creating them). Computing is a complex, but a very powerful tool; quite a lot about it is mindset, not skills.

I completely agree that carrying too many books is a problem. We have that in Poland, too - the amount of books kids need to bring to school is only ever increasing, and publishers are doing their best to kill off solutions like ability to share books or keep them at school (through structuring the material to be single-kid-use, throwaway, and changing every year to make people buy new copies).

That's a long topic, but school publishing is one of the industries I'd love to see completely destroyed - not disrupted, but literally all major publishers going bankrupt - and rebuilt anew, with products and practices more akin to what my country saw in the 60-80s - good books with lots of content, little fluff, reusable, resellable, and quite often usable for learning without supervision.
You've posted more than one borderline personal attack in this thread, which is not cool. We ban accounts that do that. Please don't do that.

You are totally right. I'm just ticked off about the fact that lots of bands I like make their new stuff streamable on there before it's released elsewhere. I find it very awkward to access that stuff. For me, in that situation, bandcamp just feels like a botched attempt at a streaming service. Especially when I remember it used to be better in this regard.
I get the idea of building your users/interest before it event exists but I personally am not 100% on board with that idea especially if the product doesn't exist yet.

And I know who am I, nobody. But as a person who hears about some service like "We'll help you get hired by these new methods of looking over resumes" great. sign me up. I sign up "Sorry we're in private beta at this time." like what? Why did I Go through all of that process to be told it's not available.

What’s wrong with monetizing your stuff if you provide value? (Haven’t checked out the linked page, this is more like a generic question)
Thanks! So, the red 1 represents the 100% interest we intend to earn; the pink n in the denominator represents the compounding pieces we divide it into.

For example, an approximation of e would be (1 + .01)^100, where the 100% interest had been chopped into 100 separate segments of 1%.
> wants a "thoughtful discussion" is lying to us

You've obviously broken HN's civility rule here. That's not ok. HN is a big place and the things that seem completely obvious to you may well be quite unclear to someone else. This is one of many reasons why the site guidelines ask everyone to assume good faith. Threads occasionally getting derailed isn't great, of course, but that's a lesser concern than people attacking each other.

You mean the pleasantly large font size? It's refreshing.
Wishful thinking doesn't increase the resources available.

If there's more demand than supply, some kind of rationing will kick in. Luck of the draw, queues, higher prices, ..

Surge pricing encourages more supply (ie drivers), too.
> Is it fair to say BGP in general relies on “good will” trust model?

Yes.

> I wonder if there exists an authoritative mechanism similar to browser punishing rouge or incompetent CA

Not really. Although if you get a reputation for being notoriously problematic, the "big boys" - the large networks who are the responsible adults in this game might deny you service or stop accepting your announcements.

> I supposed the integrity and the authentication is achieved by implementing and deploying RPKI

RPKI doesn't really solve the issue. It validates only the initial announcer, so BGP hijacks can still occur. It would however help reduce hijacks due to mistakes in configuration.
Yes, and, to be fair, it's been a known problem for years. There are some potential solutions in the works but you can't just pick an arbitrary day and flip a switch and turn it on.

Most of these incidents are accidental and could easily be prevented. The network operator community can't even get everyone to implement BCP38, though, so something like a full Internet-wide RPKI is a pipe dream. Even basic filtering would prevent much of this but that's apparently asking too much as well.

The amount of filtering, if any, varies tremendously from network to network. Some won't accept routes without IRR entries, LOAs, and a bunch of paperwork. Others (such as AS31133, apparently) will accept any prefix you want and as many of 'em as you want.

I'll give (some of) the Tier 1's a bit of a break, as filtering on every single BGP session just isn't feasible (although some of them wouldn't bother filtering even if they could!). Pretty much everyone else should be filtering.

But they aren't. And they won't be any time soon. And so we'll continue to have incidents like this for the foreseeable future.
> I agree this one's pretty benign, but it still seems like an excess of authority.

It seems like that because it should be common sense but it's not and therefore it needs to be enforced by law.
where did you get this insane number? There are plenty of people who use and like windows 10 and its wonderful browser which has nothing to do with IE!

If it was me, I'd do it for practicality. It's easier for a wholesale ban than try to implement some system where you allow a forbidden item for some, but not all of the time.

Yeah i don't get these passive-aggressive suggestions at all.

Be advised that Azure container instances are very expensive to run 24/7. This is not the intended use.

ACI current pricing as of Dec 2017

1 create request x 1GB memory x 1 month (2592000 seconds) x $0.0000125 (GB/sec) = $32

1 create request x 1 CPU Core x 1 month (2592000 seconds) x $0.0000125 (GB/sec) = $32

Total ~ $64 / month.

I think you might be better off running an Ubuntu VM with Docker for your services and then add Azure Databases for MySQL for persistence. That is how I deploy inside azure.
> First try to find the paper. First use http://front.math.ucdavis.edu . If you can't find it then use google scholar. If that fails then go on the authors academic website. If that fails then see if the author is live and try to contact them. Then repeat for their grad students. If all else fails post it to r/math or HN and ask for the pdf.

Or, go directly to arxiv, scihub or a similar service.

Fully agree with the following steps, though.
Have you actually read any of the papers? While I tend to agree with you in an ideal situation where you may assume the writer is <probably> good - that is usually not the case with real-life papers.

It's not even the writing per se - it's the structure, or omissions instead. I would rather skim first to find which parts I may not be able to grasp right away and to find out if there's any point spending time on this, rather than go on and read the pieces from the citation list.
I wouldn't hold my breath, since neither of those have anything to do with the issue.

> Yes, thanks SEC for preventing free people from entering into voluntary transactions.

Allowing free people to enter into whatever voluntary transactions they would like is basically the definition of anarchism. It's surprising to see people advocating for anarchism on HN this often, especially in obscured fashions like this rather than explicitly. Anarchy was never the vision for our society and is not generally seen as a desirable end goal.

The one major thing I like about Vue is that I can use it to build widgets in an otherwise serverside app without having a JavaScript build step. All I do is link Vue directly and server-side include files containing the template and code for each component.

It is possible, but not a good option, to also use React without a build step by either skipping JSX (ugly and cumbersome to use) or by using the Babel runtime (large, not really meant for production).
> Each sentence is its own tweet, and thus can be starred or retweeted on its own.

Or misinterpreted on it's own. I have witnessed several cases in which a out-of-context sentence in such a tweetstorm lead to some shitstorm until the original author cleared it up.

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

And it also leads to fragmentation where people begin to discuss subparts of the entire thread in separation and probably reurgitate the same topic twenty times in twenty different threads.

>By forcing people through a clunky UX, you still force them to condense their ideas.

Which IMO is bad since the condensed ideas I usually see on twitter lack substance (or even citations), people just throw out condensed stuff without context.
