QoS does not stand for Quality of Service. It stands for Quantity of Service.

It also seems that you believe that QoS works by magic and not by dropping packets on the floor that meet certain criteria. Those criterias are gasp protocol and destination. It is no different from you putting a rate limits your API based on the token used to authenticate a client or a route used. But hey, yes, NN is telling me I should at best use RED to do QoS as everything else requires lookng at protocol and destination

> You can't point to Comcast's extortionist refusal to upgrade their links to the outside world and say that it's Netflix's fault; that was just their abusive tactic to force Netflix to deal with Comcast directly on Comcast's terms. Verizon did the same thing.

I live in a real world. In the real world if I am to take 10Mbit/sec that Comcast objectively delivers to the edge and multiply it by the number of edges that comcast has I arrive at the number of megabit/sec that does not exist in all interconnect points combined. Comcast has no way of upgrading it to that point. It is simply not possible. There's not a single network that can provide this kind of capacity even at 10Mbit/sec, not to mention at 50Mbit/sec or 150Mbit/sec or Gigabit/sec.

The only way to deal with this is PNIs between those that originate massive amounts of traffic and the networks that consume massive amounts of traffic. Your JoeSchmoe.com does not get to have a PNI until it can afford to pay for it because it has enough traffic.

I think apps installed this way should be also limited to some subset of permissions they can request[1]. Otherwise this is almost like a bookmarking mechanism.

Probably living in extreme poverty is sufficient.
The thing is, under a lot of systems of law, you don't have that opportunity because you have to pay employees at least a minimum. Using "independent contractor" status to work around that is scummy, and may yet prove illegal.

Although that was the central point, they did a lot more than just default the browser. IMO I don't think bundling a browser in and of itself is anti competitive.

"Underlying these disputes were questions over whether Microsoft altered or manipulated its application programming interfaces (APIs) to favor Internet Explorer over third party web browsers, Microsoft's conduct in forming restrictive licensing agreements with original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), and Microsoft's intent in its course of conduct." [1]

"Microsoft submitted a second inaccurate videotape into evidence later the same month as the first. The issue in question was how easy or hard it was for America Online users to download and install Netscape Navigator onto a Windows PC. Microsoft's videotape showed the process as being quick and easy, resulting in the Netscape icon appearing on the user's desktop. The government produced its own videotape of the same process, revealing that Microsoft's videotape had conveniently removed a long and complex part of the procedure and that the Netscape icon was not placed on the desktop, requiring a user to search for it. Brad Chase, a Microsoft vice president, verified the government's tape and conceded that Microsoft's own tape was falsified" [1]

If I was Elon Musk, and launching something like this, the reason my Roadster would be the payload is because I would be attempting to land it on the Moon or Mars. It's electric, so it should be able to drive around :)

I wonder if that is possible. The weight of the car is much less than the 140,000 pound payload it could carry, so it could be sent much further if they wanted to.
Democrats are not traditionally states' rights proponents. And yet they will wrap themselves in the banner of states' rights when it suits their agenda (gay marriage, drug laws, etc.). It is run of the mill political expediency- no more, no less.

> Bitcoin allows me to be my own bank.

I too, like to live dangerously. I run a mail server. A web server. Damn, I was tempted to (partially) host my DNS.

But running my own bank? Hell no. Those who ever had to touch things like PCI compliance or seem actual money transaction requirements will want to stay far, far away from being their own bank, so good luck there, you'll need it.

> It allows me to save my money outside of the global financial system

No, at this point in time, it really doesn't. It would, if it was accepted to be exchanged for things, which is any currency OR asset is, in theory, only good for. If you can't buy (exchange) food with it, it's worthless.

EDIT: yes, you can, in theory, exchange it to USD and some other real currencies - with a big 'if' the exchange you want to use has the means to cover it, you pay taxes on gain, and, if you're really lucky, your bank won't freeze your account when an unprecedented amount of cash flows in.

Money is whatever people _agree_ on. It's not a belief.
Here's why you are getting downvoted:

1. I'm jealous because they were born rich

2. I'm jealous because they made a lot of money with betting correctly on Facebook

3. I'm jealous because they also made a lot of money on correctly betting on Bitcoin

4. I'm jealous because they made the news and are probably getting all the hottest chicks.

So let's all agree to only say negative stuff about them, and blame all their luck on them being born rich.

We are not rich, so therefore are excused for not buying bitcoin at <$10.
They are inching ever closer and closer to that toaster-fridge they despise.
What? That doesn't even make any sense. You can sell the bitcoin for USD then pay your taxes. Just like you can't pay your taxes with 1 billion dollars worth of Facebook stock or gold.

The argument you are looking for is: "USD has value BECAUSE the state makes you pay your taxes in it."

Notice that that argument does not end with, "and this is the only way a commodity or currency can have value." Because there are different reasons that different things have value and more than one thing has value.

Your comment is intellectually lazy and you don't have to believe in crypto to come to this conclusion.
Is it customizable? That seems like a pretty strange question from someone that maintains it for a user base. Apart from "disabling" tabs what are you looking to customize? Having used TB since inception I might think a more apt question is "What can't you customize?".

I also don't think I understand your tab stance. You don't have to base your usage on tabs, do you? Personally, given the volume and types of mail I deal with, I was waiting for tabs for years. I just want the context menu option to "view message in conversation" to always exist. It dropped off a couple of builds ago and I can't seem to get it back. Usability of mail without this is decreased exponentially.
Perhaps after seeing the somewhat success of Microsoft in this arena, they are going to a "switchable" UI that will change depending on the device type. Instead of writing an app for iPhone, iPad, macOS, the developer just has to write one switchable app. That would be helpful for the developer, and if implemented right, the user wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

This functionality already exists to a degree in iOS. You can render different views based on the device / resolution. This would just be extending it to touch vs. keyboard and mouse.

I wouldn't think of it as a single UI that (doesn't) work for all devices, but rather a UI that knows what device it's on and can morph accordingly.
I think this misrepresents the split.

Trump's views on privacy are obvious and awful, yes - he has Sessions as AG.

But Dianne Feinstein is one of the fiercest surveillance advocates in Congress. Hillary Clinton had vastly more support from intelligence agencies than Trump did, and refused to condemn what was described in the Snowden releases.

Meanwhile, Rand Paul ended bulk phone record collection for a few hours in 2015, defying much of both parties to do so. He filibustered over drone strikes, and promised to restrict NSA searches if he was elected.

There's a lot to dislike about Rand Paul, and libertarians aren't the only people opposing surveillance - Bernie Sanders made similar promises from the far opposite end of the spectrum.

But I think framing this as "bad under Democrats, hopeless under Republicans" makes it harder to address the problem. The mainstream of both parties are similarly awful, even if the Democrats talk a bit more softly about it, while the fringes of both parties are often strong surveillance opponents.
Branding and marketing and PR are just that, and the objective is to get a bigger market share.

Actually it is to be the dominant browser on the market, mozilla name means mosaic killer, as in dethrone NCSA Mosaic and take its place as the n°1 browser by market share and was the internal name for netscape.

They kept the name for the continuation of the effort though the target had moved to IE who actually took over Mosaic. Now the target is google chrome and the historical meaning is lost on most people but the intent is still to have the bigger market share because monies.
I get where you are coming from but you are also making some assumptions that are a bit broad. It’s a laudable goal to educate naive folks on HN, I support you in that, but you should try a different approach.

I’m not naive. I’ve been working in tech since 1996 when I managed a dial up ISP. I worked at Red Hat the day they IPOed and have been with Heap for almost four years. I was employee number 8, and personally wrote much of the code to remove data from our databases.

We have strict controls and logging around who can access our infra, as is necessary for SOC2 compliance. We have rolling backups (that are read only except by very specific individuals) so even if I got real mad one day and decided to ruin my career, we could restore the data, however, we don’t keep backups indefinitely so when data is deleted or removed with intent, it will eventually be gone in backups too.

I’m not on the board, but I do have influence as I am the head of our solutions and support team. I am a privacy advocate and take a firm stand on protecting my customers’ data and executing their own desires to protect their customers, and I do my best to not only instill these things in my team and company, but also to make policies and controls to make them real.

When I delete data, I don’t rely on a message being sent to a queue. I do not “soft” delete. When our customers ask for their data to be deleted, we delete it without delay.

I will say that sending a message in a queue would be pretty efficient and if we went that route I’d have the consumer of that message verify that the data was deleted.

Ultimately our backing store is Postgres, it’s not rocket science to understand how deleting that data works, we could get into a discussion about how it’s not really deleted until it’s been reallocated, at the DB and at the OS and hardware levels, but I don’t think you’re trying to make that argument.

Is everything perfect? No, that would be naive to say, but we don’t assume it is and work hard to remain accountable.

I’m happy to discuss this or about anything else here or over email, Skype, hangout, in person, etc, but I do want to say that you should challenge your own assumptions a bit more. Not every person or company is inherently bad, naive or ignorant. A lot of people on HN are extremely tenured, bright, and thoughtful, they just usually know better than to comment here, if anything, that is my most naive action.
Just a reminder that most cryptocurrencies (esp Bitcoin) are inherently quite traceable. Cash is still king.
That's something that you should bring up with your local government. It is your local government that is blocking roll outs of FTTH.

Even at 10Mbit/sec congestion will be at the core. Comcast currently claims to have 22.3 million internet customers. At 10 Mbit/sec it means 223.3 MILLION megabit per second that needed to be handed off to transit. It is not possible.
Yeah, that's what I mean. Essentially that's like a buffer you push to the main screen when done. Learning how to use ed could become relevant.
Which of course raises the question - if they have the technology to detect these ads, why allow them on their network in the first place?

Microsoft has been failing at unifying desktop apps with mobile apps for many years with metro, UWP and whatever. Will be interesting if Apple can pull it off.
Exactly. I don't trust their testing method at all. My new battery wasn't covered by Applecare because the phone also tested at 82% or 83%. I decided to look around the store at some new Macbooks for about 20 minutes and the phone completely died while still plugged in for testing.

They admitted that was unusual and just gave me a new battery.

Regulations are the next logical step here. My best guess is that the red tape will at least dampen a lot of the mania around cryptocurricines and bring people back to reality.

Agreed. All previous not-really-showing-anything videos were awe inspiring. This website let me: meh.

It may be more accurate to call it an oligopoly, but the distortion of the market from limited supply and competition remain the same.
How would the typical early-2000s Windows user have downloaded Netscape without a preinstalled browser? FTP on the command line?
I guess this also helps explain why the new Mac Pros are becoming giant iPads, away from the old openable cheese grater design.
Marketer promising unrealistic and undeliverable things is just a liar, and should be fired and marked accordingly for rest of the industry to know. You don't build a great product that sells by destroying reputation even before the release.
> There are some ways an ISP can go faster that are not neutral AND not malicious/extortive. If google puts a GGC on your ISPs network, youtube now has an advantage over hulu. There is no equivalent internal-deployment that can give a truly neutral increase in capacity.

We need laws or regulations to address the fact that ISPs are actually forcing content providers to deploy in-network CDN nodes with the ISPs through extortive refusal to upgrade the links between the residential ISPs and the ISPs serving Netflix et al. Some deployment of local CDN nodes makes sense on its own and benefits both parties, but it's not like video streaming is actually latency-sensitive or anything.
This. Large players eventually (and are already) playing the market. Anything involving money will eventually be dictated by the big players. Look at how we buy and sell crytocoins today - most rely on some authority as the middleman as opposed to full decentralized (though you can argue about P2P while also decentralized, it still requires a service to discover seeds and peers).

The only difference is you can fork and run on your own.
Totally. The google map desktop is hard to use, because it's copying features from mobile.
What a blast to the past. I love seeing old systems, makes me want to get a couple of older machines just to play around with them.

BeOS in particular is a huge lament on what could have been - at the time, it was the slickest OS I had ever had the chance to play with and loved it dearly. I appreciate the Haiku project, but sadly I don't know how much of a place it truly has in the modern world beyond being a nostalgia toy.
Lessons learned implementing Redux on Android
Apple's never been about the Developers (Developers! Developers!...) though, it's been about the users. It's a while since I've worked on Apple platforms, but it wasn't exactly a pleasant experience. Apple — back then at least — had the user experience at the forefront of what they were doing. You endured the pain of writing your app in Objective C, in XCode, submitting it to the app store, paying the subscription fees, dealing with the terrible portals and jumping through many hoops because Apple's platforms were where the users were.

Microsoft's approach was always, "We're where the developers are, which is where the app(lication)s are, which is where the users will be forced to go".

It's hard to remember quite how much easier to use Apple's devices were in those early days compared to the status quo.
Whataboutism is fun.
Seems like such a bad idea from a UX perspective that it's hard to imagine iOS apps on macOS being anything more than reimagined Dashboard widgets.
The latter philosophy is called, uh, existentialism, so I'm not sure quite what happened here.

The parent's observation is that it is initially taxed as income. If it crashes to zero that is a capital gains loss so it is a write off against capital gains, not against income. So you still would have to pay taxes even though you have no money.

The following are my observations from discussions with my accountant and reading some of the IRS tax codes and "guidance". Do NOT take this as tax advice

In general (within the US) the tax code is treating crypto both as property AND as income.

1) Someone pays you in crypto - income

2) If you mine crypto it is treated as income.

3) If you purchase crypto it is treated as property.

4) If you HOLD crypto it is treated as property.

To break down how this works in regards to taxes. If it is "income crypto" then you are liable for taxes on the value of the crypto at the "moment" you receive it.

1) For example, you received 1 token that is valued at $100 and your tax rate is 22% then you now owe $22 in income tax. If you hold that crypto and it goes to $0; you still owe $22 in income tax.

To further complicate this though, the loss from the $100 to $0 IS a capital loss. So what this means it you made an extra $100 in income, but then you lost $100 in capital losses which you write down against your income so now you are back to owe-ing $0 in income tax on that $100.

Now that may seem like a complicated way of saying you don't owe anything, but the catch is you can only write down $3000 a year of capital losses against your income. You can carry those losses over each year until it is wholly accounted for, but in the meantime, you could end up holding the bag and oweing a lot of money to the IRS.

2) If instead, you purchase 1 token that is valued at $100 and you hold it and it goes to $200 and then sell; you now owe capital gains taxes. If you held for less than 1 year then the $100 gain is classified as capital gains, but taxed like income. If you hold it for more than 1 year it is taxed at the capital gains rates.
Unfortunately, it crashes instantly upon trying to open any of my documents.

Looking forward to the stable build. I'm a big fan of the editor.
It is but you see less screen time instead of degraded performance. The suggestion here is that Apple is throttling the hardware via software in order to prevent reduced screen time.

Also, after 3-4 years with a laptop, you typically start to see decreased performance because of clogging of fans, degradation in the thermal paste, etc. This causes the CPU to run hotter and throttle sooner to stay inside of its thermal envelope.
Actually you can (depending on the place where you live): http://fortune.com/2017/09/12/switzerland-chiasso-bitcoin-ta...
Anyone unfamiliar with how things currently work:

macOS and iOS use 2 different UI frameworks (CocoaTouch and UIKit, respectively). And this causes problems when trying to compile the source code between the two platforms. Ex: things like font and color are defined specifically in each framework (NSFont and NSColor versus UIFont and UIColor). If they combine these frameworks, it makes the design and maintenance of cross platform software a lot easier (it'll still be difficult), and the at the very least, you wouldn't have to stub out a bunch of class names and files.

BUT - the most important work is still on the developer to ensure that their app runs great on iPhone, iPad and Mac and has a cohesive UI that scales and takes advantages of the different technologies. It's no different from Responsive Web Design or the shift from iPhone to iPad (and vice versa).
A retread of a google glass demo is a long way off from what they were marketing two years ago.

That would require an order of magnitude more money and effort for movie production. For example, sets would have to look real from multiple angles instead of being just slapped together to work for a single shot. And there's no evidence that audiences actually want this level of interactivity in their "lean back" entertainment.
I like that most may content creation software has a high level of access to the operating environment.

I also like that all my iPhone and iPad apps are sandboxed off from each other.

I use the devices for different purposes, and want them to behave differently. That's how I felt when Unity flopped, that's how I felt when Windows 8/10 flopped, and that's how I expect I'll feel this time, too.
