I'm looking this up now from a sibling comment, I think that yes every N years a civilian aircraft goes through a complete teardown and inspection, taking >50,000 person-hours of time or something depending on the complexity of the aircraft.

>There's a deeper problem. Bitcoin is very deflationary and strictly limited in supply. What happens if Coinbase cannot obtain replacement bitcoins at a price near what the insurance pays out?

By only promising depositors -- and only having insurance for the case that -- they will pay out some flat USD amount per bitcoin in the case of loss, so that anyone putting BTC in Coinbase wallets knows the possible downside.

Same logic as with most insurance: they don't write policies that promise to get you that a good-enough copy of that neat classic showerhead fitting when your house burns down, only the money to buy a replacement, even if it falls short of the sentimental value.
I didn’t say trust is irrelevant. I said That if you require trust to transact in a cryptocurrency, you misunderstand a basic tenant of the thing. You can still choose to trust whoever you want. There’s a difference between “not needed” and “not allowed”.
In the function input scenario, it's more like an alternative to a generic type Elements: Sequence with the Element constrained to Int. Either would work.

There are cases where this is not possible, like when you are returning a sequence from a function whose API you don't want to bind to a specific type. Then the only thing you can do is to pass an AnySequence.

At one point I noticed a dearth of blinking lights in our (CS dept) machine room and suggested we get some plywood, spray paint, and a bunch of LEDs so that anyone peering through the door wouldn't see a big room full of what looked like shelving and cable octopi.
Honestly though, I understand not immediately firing people over an ongoing legal investigation that happened outside of work. But why the flying fuck would Microsoft hesitate to ensure the victim had absolutely no chance of encountering a dude accused of raping her in her place of work. Isn't being safe at work like the single most important facet of an employer's responsibility to their employee? Their campus is huge, both of them were interns that could have easily been placed on different projects, scheduled different hours, etc. And in the face of all these cultural accusations, an undeniably dangerous circumstances arises and, what was the quote, "taken practical steps"? As in, some middling HR manager practically deeply nodded their head, wrote an email, and forgot about it? Honestly tech seems to grow so fast that basic sensibilities like common sensible risk assessment flies out the window where ever some executive hasn't explicitly defined what to do.
Thank you for sharing your perspective!

My argument is not that such controls can't be reasoned about and applied to great effect. Rather, my argument is that having to do so is much more difficult, time consuming, and error prone than not.

Perhaps it's just a difference of domain, but in my experience, there's real value to be had by a DBMS which doesn't require a team of trained and highly-disciplined "data engineers" to use effectively. Organizations are composed of individuals with varying levels of skill and areas of expertise, but even if everyone was both interested in and capable of building correctly functioning distributed applications under weak consistency models, I'd still prefer a database system which relieves those individuals from having to do so themselves.

As I recall, Google came to the same realization, which helped motivate Spanner. They found that their highly capable engineers were spending a significant amount of time and effort working around the weaker consistency of Spanner's predecessors, to varying degrees of success. By developing Spanner, they were able to eliminate large swaths of application complexity, freeing up their software engineers to focus more on the inherent complexity of their business domain, rather than the incidental complexity of their chosen database.

YMMV.
> Some officials favor the CH-47 which they say is combat-proven and cheaper, but others say the larger CH-53K would allow growth in future missions.

This implies the 53 is not a combat-proven aircraft....to be clear, the K is just an improved version of the same aircraft that has been operating for like 3 decades.

Hard to see how the 47 would beat the 53, especially if the Germans are actually using the aircraft for heavy lift.

> ...but I couldn't say why they chose exactly that number.

I would speculate that it's because it's fairly close to 100 and is also divisible by a fairly high power of 2 (32). Buffer management is easier (less arithmetic) when using powers of 2.

I could be completely wrong, but 96 is the kind of number that crops up in computing quite a bit for this reason. Having said that, the number of samples may be more important than the number of milliseconds.

Uh... you can subdivide a single unit into a million pieces, but if the equilibrium price based on demand and supply rises because of scarcity, each individual million satoshi piece will also rise in value.

Hence its deflationary nature.
And on the pedestal these words appear: “My name is AOL Time Warner, king of kings. Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair.” Nothing beside remains.

Seriously though, it is amazing to look back on the utter dominance of AOL in the late 90s-early 00s, and it’s almost complete disappearance shortly afterward.
FM is just a mode of modulation. A general purpose receiving radio can have multiple modes (AM, FM, WFM, SSB, digital, etc.). I would not worry about receivers dropping support for FM.

Odd if LG makes a high end panel and doesn’t maximize the market for it by making e.g a regular DisplayPort monitor.

Except here in Belgium, they already switched off DAB in favour of DAB+. Now everyone can go out and buy a new radio again.

Meanwhile, they also rally against planned obsolescence. How's that going to work?

(luckely, they haven't yet switched of FM, that's scheduled for 2020)
Keep in mind that comparing bandwidth between bands that are very far apart isn't super useful. You can easily select down to fractions of 1khz at 1mhz but not at 2.4ghz so 1.1mhz of bandwidth means something different at UHF vs HF/MF.
You may not know this, but any stocks you own in your brokerage aren't owned by you. They're owned by your brokerage. In all likelihood, your shares are currently being lent to someone and used in short sales. It's entirely possible your brokerage will go bust, and you will lose every share of stock you own.

SIPC insurance will protect you up to a certain amount. Even then, though, you won't have your shares returned to you -- merely the dollar value of those shares will be reimbursed.

Yes, you can assume your opponents are just thick as bricks and randomly generate policies with no basis. You aren't ever going to make political progress that way though. You'll just irritate them and build support for them: "you're too stupid to have an opinion" is a vote winning position in no democracies ever.

That's true. Thirty years ago I had more time than money and working on my stuff was very satisfying. These days I would rather go to the movies with my wife, help my kids with their homework, walk my dog, or take a nap. I'm doing better financially, but my time is scarce.

The source is pointless. You can build a much better chat system on modern technology in a weekend. The lost value is in their centralized servers with thousands of existing accounts. I'd always thought services like AIM would be replaced by more decentralized systems, but instead we have even more segmented walled garden chat apps where you don't even get to use your own client.

This may be a stupid question but I dont understand every aspect of bitcoin so bear with me.

Is Bitcoin access coupled with one private key or multiple?

Say someone has 10 bitcoin on their computer and a private key so its only accessible from that computer. That computer holds a lot of value. If the computer gets stolen theyve stolen all the bitcoins with it? Given that the secret to the private key can be broken at some point in the future.

Or is there a way for the user to claim back his/ger bitcoin by creating a new key with same secret?
> but they're pretty transparent about it

They may be transparent about the fact that they're tracking you, but not about what they're tracking or when they're tracking it. And there's no way for you to find out because the vast majority of their software is not open source.
Spot on.

Every bike shop has a "flavor". There was the "carbon fiber" shop where I'd get funny looks if I dragged my commuter bike in. They closed up shop and moved even farther into the suburbs. It'd take me an hour to bike there now.

Then there's the "commuter shop". Where they charged $0 for labor when I walked in one cold, messy winter night with a shredded tire and a crazy story. That does simple fixes on the spot quickly and painlessly so my commute time is bumped by less than 30 minutes. They'll get my business every time. I haven't tried to do an online order with them yet though; we've just bought bikes off the showroom floor.
Skilled players can beat unskilled players regardless of the bias of the dice. It doesn't matter if you get 5-15 more brick cards if it's an ore game. And how do you keep the other players from building on the bias-favored numbers?

If you're going to cheat, you're better off sleeving your most critical resource cards, to protect them from 7-rolls, soldiers, and monopoly cards taking them from your hand. You unsleeve and swap when you get a favorable resource roll, and hope nobody is OP enough to keep a running total of all opponent resources in their head.
> Soviet Union did not accept the blame for occupation of Baltic states so I don't see how it should be Russia's obligation.

USSR didn't accept 'Tsar's bonds' yet Russia payed them out.

So, yeah, double standards.

Same as for praising 'Russian' victory over Germany, for example. Accept their involvement.
>I'm not sure exactly why people bring up performance when tail call elimination is mentioned.

Yes, you are correct, however i was mentioning TCO and performance as separate topics. This nonwithstanding, consider that TCO allows writing recursive functions without utilizing call stack space, and this might have some performance impact as well.
Where There Is Pain There Should Be Compassion

These comments strike me as very much against the ethos of cryptocurrencies, which is to say, using a publicly available ledger with access governed by rules democratically set by the majority of nodes instead of many secret private ledgers governed by civil institutions.

Counterparty risk? What counterparty risk? The minute the funds leave your wallet governed by your private keys then you no longer have control. The moment you transfer funds then they no longer belong to you. By design!

Downtime? What downtime? If individual nodes go offline then the network continues to function. Bitcoin is a decentralized protocol. By design!

Perhaps instead of trying to hack centralized banking models onto decentralized currencies we should be using decentralized models to fit the currency. Perhaps, instead of Coinbase claiming to hold Bitcoin in the name of account holders, it should facilitate the immediate transfer of Bitcoin to the private wallets of people who are purchasing it and refuse purchases of people without wallets set up. Perhaps Coinbase should allow transaction fees to skyrocket as a result (even more than they have currently), due to not processing transactions off-chain, and that this would be fine, because it would push demand towards cryptocurrencies with lower fees.

Bitcoin exchanges won't mature until they're less like traditional stock brokers and more like BitTorrent trackers - they don't actually host the files or the money, but tell you where to find people who do, who you can exchange with directly in a decentralized way.
I'm ambivalent about that.

It's one of those words whose meaning has changed in a context. Like trying to take back the word senile to mean "old age".

So it depends on your threat model. If you care about rogue Google employees or other actors with 0-day exploits, then putting information into the hands of Google is a risk.

Ask HN: Is net neutrality overblown?
I understand the basics around net neutrality and was disappointed to see the rollback, but I was also surprised at how vehement the reaction was from the tech community.

My read of the issue was that:

- This will be easy to fix when Trump is replaced

- Comcast would be unwise to radically change the status quo when things will likely be "reverted again" in 3 years

- Internet companies (and techies) will call out bad behavior on the part of broadband providers if it occurs in practice

- This is a nuanced issue; regulating monopolies and utilities isn't easy

Basically, I see this as a temporary reversion, unlikely to have longer term effects. Yet the outrage is enormous.

I'm surprised that this issue causes such outrage when I see bigger issues that could arguably cause much worse effects - like the essential dismantling of the EPA and environmental protections, which could cause a "tipping point" in climate change which we may not be able to revert and which will have worldwide consequences. Where is the outrage about that?
Yesterday Nasdaq handled ~10 million trades and probably ~1 billion messages so about 30k messages per second over all equities while keeping response times below 100 microseconds for the most part. GDAX is peanuts compared to any of the equities exchanges.

Hell, I worked for a startup FX exchange once with a team of 4 devs working on the actual matching pipeline and our beta product handled much more volume with better latency.
Most wallets have a way of deterministically generating private keys from the same pass phrase. So you would enter the same pass phrase, it’d generate the same key, and you’d be fine (assuming the thief hadn’t spent your bitcoins to his own address yet)

Technically, a single PC with multi-process program is often enough. I've used this approach when I worked on some cloud game server, worked good, I just needed to make sure service discovery was OK finding multiple server instances on same IP but different ports.
You don't want to store your private key unencrypted on a computer ever. If someone gets a hold of a private key, they control all the bitcoin under that address. However they acquire the private key doesn't matter.
To further my understanding this would be akin to trait objects in Rust right? Instead of having generic type constraints in the function signature you can `Box` your traits or use pointers to a trait and use dynamic dispatch. I'm sure there are also some differences as well and would like to hear them.

I'm going to guess a lot of these accidents are during a turn right on a red or an unprotected left turn? In a very crowded city they are very difficult to make with constant pedestrian traffic. And then my own experience in Berkeley and SF is that pedestrians tend to be impatient and cross on a red at all the minor intersections. One of the reasons I just avoid driving in such crowded places.
Although is not anything like at the scale of YouTube/Twitter, the model they have for moderation (volunteers, supported directly by staff, BYO bots, as well as company-owned bots for grunt work like spam removal) works amazingly well. Much much better than any other site with the same volume of new content.

It does make me wonder why companies like Google, Facebook and Twitter, which have much much greater resource to throw at the problem, still struggle with content moderation. Just hire good people, give them the right tools, and engage the community.
