A few years ago I was involved with a startup that built a document management system for consumers, and we actually got pretty good results with OCR + automatic tagging based on a very simple database that maps keywords to tags.

Let's say you want to auto-tag bills and other documents from your ISP. So you add the ISP's name, phone number, website address etc. into the database - any uniquely-identifying keywords that typically appear on the documents that they send. Now any document that contains these keywords will get tagged as "ISP", making it very easy to find in the future.

Even if the OCR quality isn't perfect, at least one of these keywords will most likely get matched.

Another example - you could add the names of your family members as keywords, making it easy to find all documents related to Jenny or Susan.

You could argue that full-text search would achieve the same result, but uploading documents into the system and having them auto-tagged as "ISP", "car-payments", "Walmart", "Susan" and so on feels a little bit like magic, as if the system is actively helping you organize your papers.

The keyword approach is also very easy to understand and tweak, unlike more rigorous but opaque methods of document clustering (such as tf-idf).
This has got to be one of the most elitist and ignorant comments I've ever seen here.

For me it's pretty simple; as a front-end developer who needs to run Photoshop, the latest, and in a stable way (Wine is not stable nor does it run the latest Photoshop on Linux) I had two choices, none of which were Linux. Windows and MacOS, now since I don't really do any gaming, but I do need Bash and Windows design decisions are questionable at best, the fact that you can't turn off updates without command-line hacking or other absurd stuff (and that updates often break drivers) I decided to go with a Mac. It's not perfect, of course, nothing is, but I'm happy and I don't see myself ever going on Linux because

- Poor app ecosystem

- You tell me "Use GIMP", but with virtually no PSD support I say no and tell that to all the designers that hand me out PSD-s to cut and they will tell you that's never happening

- Poor design decisions

- Poor driver support

- I don't want to hack in the command-line a full day to set up the thing, like I've so far had to do when trying to use Linux

Of course, this is all subjective and I by no means am talking for everyone else, but I'm quite sure my issues with Linux align with someone else's here as well.
Oh the log is cool but I was more specifically referring to the order book with the spread, and the "green on the left, red on the right" view in the middle that shows the market.

I would like to see such a view for regular stock markets but I don't know where to go. The stock exchange interface of my bank, for example, is far from showing such a nice thing, only a bare order book with only a few lines.
What connection does this have to the post? Python is only mentioned once, in a link, and it doesn't mention speed at all.

Yes, but the dollar also has a very long history of being extremely stable. Said another way, the dollar has never had a 30% shock in a year (BTC did today...)
I think bitcoin’s fixed-limit and deterministic transactions makes it a uniquely closed & conserved system (regardless of deflation and lost wallets). The discrepancies in valuation among exchanges & localities seem to show a relativistic (to borrow a physics term) quality. [I’m however not really into bitcoin or an economist though]
I opened a bank account for BitCoin and put less then $100 into for investment. No way would I ever connect my real bank account to any crypto currency wallet.

Unfortunately the high price and get-rich-quick stories associated with Cryptocurrencies in general will overshadow and hinder meaningful technological progress.

The best thing that could happen for any meaningful development would be a crash down to 2016 levels and a stagnation period. Let the hype fade away and get back to making something useful, instead of trying to pump and dump.
I'm reviewing the whole thread and impression is that there is not too many daily stock traders on here, like myself.

First thing when something like this happens you look at volume. Volume. Volume. Volume! Clearly its not here! It is not even half of that from the rally up 10 days ago (looking at ETH now). After such rally this tells you 2 things: 1) not enough people believed in ETH at $800 so they didnt line up from 500-800 with "buy", 2) since volume is medicore, this is not a panic selloff, but rather regular selloff that didnt capture enough support on its way down BECAUSE of #1.

In my PERSONAL opinion this is great opportunity to catch some ETH cheap. But how cheap at this point doesn't matter because all crypto has like what 60% volatility. This situation tells me ETH was immature to remain at $800 (long term, short term who knows that would be like looking into crystal ball but we been there before with bitcoin touching $1k and crushing badly before it was 15x that) but looking at last 30 years of trading, that doesn't mean you will buy it for $10 anytime soon.

As always don't make any decision based on my personal opinion as this is not professional financial advice.

EDIT: one more thing about #1. Since it was 150% in few days rally, I don't consider lack of strong buy between 500-800 as a sign ETH should be much cheaper. Its just that the whole rally up did not mature enough thru the time. I mean normal stock doesnt go up 150% in few days so different rules apply here :)
> With MonkeyType’s help, we’ve already annotated over a third of the functions in our codebase, and we’re already seeing type-checking catch many bugs that would have otherwise likely shipped to production

Like all dollars, yen, pounds, euros, silver, metal and gold?

None of these things, paper or earth metals, really have any intrinsic value. You can't eat gold. You can't put euros in your car. I guess you can burn money to keep warm, which is what happened to German Marks once people lost confidence in their currency prior to WW2.

The value of money is based off belief systems. When a very large scale economic or state collapse happens, the most important thing to have are a community of people around you who believe in each other.

XML had it right with XSLT. It stands for Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformations. Because the language was clearly defined from the start for data not presentation the need for structure transformation was apparent.

There’s absolutely no reason why HTML5 shouldn’t reinvent something similar. Make it much simpler, just reuse the existing Web Template spec, which simply defines new elements with slots and selectors.

Example:

[ was super long so I moved it: https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmQUszZRdHfdVUZwvQL2tK12XrW54TdJJqXEkm1... ]

More complicated transformations, like the toc here (arguably not that complicated but whatever), are better handled by user Javascript. Because let’s be honest XSLT like transforms are too hard.

Not immediately obvious is the fact that browsers could simply replace and rerun Javascript on page navigation, instead of rebuilding the entire page, if the templates match.

There are in fact many optimizations possible with this scheme. You could mark some regions that share a template as shadow DOM etc.

Natural lawyers generally don't appeal to evolutionary biology to ground their moral claims, and would probably universally cry that to try and do so, would be folly. Note...I'm not endorsing NL here, I don't find it very convincing, but...

The parent's point about philosophical literacy is apropos here. Natural law and its underlying metaphysics is very technical and deep. It is definitely not falling apart by pointing out the obvious, that biology varies over time. In some respect, NL has dealt with that "problem" since the time of Aristotle.

Any evidence of this being used in the wild, particularly where the attack is only trying password variants if the initial failure indicated the user exists? Not disagreeing with the point, just would be interesting if anyone's seen such an attack.
Exactly. And yet for 99% I’d desktop use I’ll rather buy disks and risk security holes, than suffer shared library hell. I have been screwed by library compatibility hell 100 times for every time I suffered a disk space issue or a vulnerability issue. At the end of the day if it’s a hard requirement that you want to be able to just run binary packages that were created by idiots - then the smartphone app model is the only viable one.

It’s important that components that do have significant attack surface such as TLS are provided and patched by the OS.

The shared libraries of e.g windows come in pretty well defined tiers. Things that the OS provides, various optional runtimes that must or can be shared such as msvcrt and then there is not much else. No app is going to install a “system wide” image decoder or other utility lib (In the past, it was a thing to dump a dll into the OS folder, often overwriting older ones, which is where the term “DLL hell” comes from. Luckily that doesn’t happen these days).

> If you ever log in from more than one machine, all must have your private key, and the mechanism for synchronising keys between machines are not there.

I don't think that's good practice. What's better is to have a separate key/certificate per device that's used to access a service. That way, even if one machine is compromised (or stolen), then the user can still use other devices to log in. Also, the service provider can disable certificate log in on a per device rather than a per account basis.

> Also, if you don't have the private key with you, there is no way you can log in to the site.

That's not necessarily true. Some HTTP server software (e.g., nginx) do have the option of requesting/asking for a TLS client certificate rather than requiring one. If one is not provided, then it's still possible to connect and log in. Server side policy can be much more strict in terms of locking the account in case of incorrect credentials or restricting access to certain account features if the client certificate wasn't provided.

It wasn’t my code to link to and I probably last saw it in 1996, back in the era of dot-matrix printouts on green-and-white continuous paper (on a Windows NT 3.5 machine running FORTRAN PowerStation, if you care to commiserate). I think I can dig up the paper where the equation was published, though.

EDIT: This isn't the paper I had in mind, and the equation presented is ‘merely’ relativistic, but it gives you a feel for the beast: https://arxiv.org/pdf/astro-ph/0402502.pdf (see section C).

Yes.

But anyone can create a blockchain exactly like that of Bitcoin and call it Bitcoin-B, Bitcoin-C etc, etc.
>But one doesn't reduce to another.

Yes it does. Every day I see people far more affected by class based inequality than race based inequality. Right now not having money would affect you far more than being a different race than you are.If you suddenly became a different race overnight chances are your life really wouldn't change that much, if you lost your job and all your money you'd be totally fucked. That means by definition one has a higher impact on the world.

Are you referring to GUI frontends for distro package managers [0]? The CLI equivalents are as close to never failing as they can get on the distros I use (~0.1% of upgrades require manually editing or merging a new config file, or something of that nature). I wish Windows was that reliable in installing/updating applications.

[0] As an aside, I dont see any real user-demand for these. They seem about as desirable about the macOS store or the Microsoft Store -- just about no one wants or uses them. Trying to shoehorn in smartphone style features into desktop OS' generally hasnt been done well, or received well.
If the last traded price was 20k, then that's the price. If you have some btc and are looking to sell really quickly before it goes down, and I make a buy offer for 19k that you accept, then the last traded price is now 19k, and that's the new price. Nothing voodoo really, just a bunch of people making buy/sell decisions based on how they think the value will move.
Linux doesn’t need to provide a desktop. All that’s needed initially is an effort to specify a modern desktop api, that implementers then implement. “This is what a window manager and desktop Linux should provide, and these interfaces will be backwards compatible forever”.

Flatpack is an example of such an effort, but it needs to be more ambitious and preferably more “official”.
Bitcoin plunges below $11,000 in volatile trading; Down 40% from high
A lot of people? People continued to buy all the way up to 19.5. The thing about Bitcoin is, almost everyone expected a drop, no one knew when or how high it would go before it dropped... or how far it will drop.

Everyone also expected it to drop at 5k, 10, 15k and it just didn't happen to a large extent. I stupidly bought in at 10k and got lucky to make some money but others stupidly bought in at 20k.

The only thing definitive about Bitcoin is that it will go up..and down. Claiming to know how high, how fast, or how low is BS.
Actually, the old pipes were a major factor. You see, without the correct chemical treatments, the old pipes were releasing scale that had built up over the years.

You see, old lead pipes are safe once they build up a patina; but untreated, acidic water erodes that patina (and also leaches lead from the pipes more readily) and allows the lead to enter tap water.

Even with proper treatment, when lead pipes are disrupted by construction, the patina/scale can be disturbed and the pipes can become dangerous again.

So yes, the failure to treat the water is the immediate (and I agree, criminally negligent) cause of the crisis. But the root cause is old lead pipes; resuming treatment doesn't fully eliminate the danger (which will continue to be elevated for as long as it takes for the patina to build back up); and one of the solutions under discussion has been replacing them.

Let me clarify - I agree with you. Price discussion shouldn't be the only discussion, but the media frenzy and run away increase in value makes it the main topic of focus.

The things that you mentioned are what I am most interested around Bitcoin, and what should be talked about - but that is only happening in very small amounts and (in my experience) by people who don't have any horses in the race.

As a side note - I would add that Bitcoin in theory attempted to reboot modern finance. The idea, passion, maybe even necessity is there - but I don't think the tech is there yet. Clearly people are more interested in generating value based on our current monetary system vs. pushing for widespread Bitcoin adoption.
I suspect many will try, and few will see any returns. Which bugs me, because I (perhaps irrationally) really like the idea.

I got a bigger chuckle than apt from this quote:

“It’s like the internet in 1999.”

Suuuuure.
Market manipulation. The prices are really set by the coin exchanges; what they are willing to take/pay. They're all really competing with each other on the best prices for BTC. All of this becomes a feedback loop.

A lot of people I talked to really believed prices were being driven by some kind of market manipulation. Either within the coin exchanges or people who were finding a way to manipulate things on the blockchain.

> It was almost as if the entire cryptocurrency space had turned into a huge unregulated casino.

[/thread]. That's really what it is, but instead of casino, call it a stock market. With that one there's a lot of regulation in place - including new European legislation, MiFID II (http://europa.eu/rapid/press-release_MEMO-14-305_en.htm), which in part is aimed at protecting clueless investors from themselves.

The crypto market doesn't have this, so a lot of people jump on this, consider themselves subject matter experts after a few days or weeks of reading up on stuff and following relevant subreddits, and getting swept up in the hypes (even if they don't think they are. I don't think I am. wait.)

It's the same with stock market trading, you don't need to understand how the company you're investing in works, the only thing that really matters is how much other people are interested in the company (or crypto).

The value of cryptocurrencies is not based on technology or how it works, it's based on supply and demand, which in turn is driven by trust and hype. Not unlike the stock market in a less regulated age.
This right there is exactly why long term it's doomed and cannot be a reliable store of value. You don't see banks and random geeks inventing new precious metals out of thin air. So you have gold, silver, platinum and palladium and that's about it as far as store of values are concerned.
