Coinbase added Bitcoin Cash to GDAX.

BTC plummeted from mid $17.8k to $14.9k in 15 minutes, now back to $16.6k.
ETH from $857 to $700 same period, back to $771 now.

Good times...

I make about 4 trips like that a year. While it is certainly not a regular occurrence it is frequent enough that I would take it into consideration when looking at a vehicle. The point is not that I use the full range of my vehicle all of the time, but that I have the capability to due so. Don't get me wrong. I'm very interested in electric cars. However, the current ranges (which are close to being up to par), and especially the lack of infrastructure and long refueling times dissuades me from actually looking into purchasing one.

Maybe significantly cheaper though. Our generators often advantage of these events to gouge the grid by having 'unexpected maintenance' and restricting supply to force the market operator to buy their capacity at a much higher price. Having this battery act in a way that isn't profit motivated could actually change this market a lot.

What if your game idea is half-baked, incomplete, and generally kinda crappy, the engineers realize you don't have a complete idea, but then go on and develop a fully-baked similar idea on their own later, and it becomes a hit?

I was never discussing what AAPL or Bitcoin is worth or not.

Just the claim that "you can't put dollars into Bitcoin, because there is a seller on the other side which takes the dollars" somehow applies to Bitcoin in a special way. My claim is that this is true for most assets out there, stocks, commodities, or financial contracts.
The 9 Deep Learning Papers You Need to Know About (Understanding CNNs Part 3)
It would be nice if they always had to show a chain of evidence that clearly shows what data they got where with what authorization.
I currently subscribe to Netflix (free from T-Mobile), Amazon Prime Video (not for the video just because I have Prime), Hulu w/o commercials, CBS All Access, Sling (everything else), Starz (summer only) and I watch CW (free).

About $45 a month.

And it's still worth it to enjoy a much better experience across multiple devices, no crazy fees for cable tv, and not having to deal with the cable company's crappy hardware.

It also helps that only pay $70 a month for unlimited gigabit internet.

And I still end up getting movies off of the "back of a truck"
As far as I know, even for very big payments, most banks charge either no fee or a flat fee for SEPA. My bank charges nothing for normal SEPA transfers or 20 euro for expedited ones (or it did a couple of years ago; I think there’s some new regulation reducing max times for transfers, making expedited less relevant). No upper limit mentioned on the forms. Of course, that’s only relevant within the EU.
Absolutely right grecy.

The fact that Australia has the largest functioning lithium-ion battery in the world, and yet the Federal Government of Australia has done nothing but ridicule and belittle its usefulness should give anyone a clue as to the power of the coal lobby in Australia.

Any news of the flexible uses of this battery should be published far and wide just to blow away a lot of the misconceptions about 'anything other than coal and gas' that are rampant throughout much of Australia's mainstream media.
I'm still wondering why Waze doesn't incorporate Google Maps data and Google Maps doesn't incorporate Waze traffic data? Or does this already happen since Google has owned Waze for a while now? If not, I find it strange for the two to continue to be silo'd.

The "independent implementations" aren't worth much if nobody uses them. Chrome already has a majority of the market share at ~60%, with Safari, its nearest competitor, trailing far behind at ~15%. Firefox is sitting at 9.3%. [0]

Combining IE/Edge, Safari, and Firefox still leaves Firefox at half of the market share of Google, and that's still a distinct disadvantage, but it's a much stronger fighting position than single-digit market share. Google and Facebook are not naive upstarts and it won't be easy to quash them, especially not when little old Mozilla is running on comparative fumes compared to a couple of the best-capitalized companies on the planet.

Google and Facebook's interests are aligned as both base their business model on profiling and reselling data derived from user behavior, so it's unlikely that Google will feel inclined to implement desired user protections against that business model.

It's very important that we have strong competition representing a diversity of interests, especially when the dominant player's business model is just "slick spyware". Without a competitor in the same league, consumers don't really have an option.

I vaguely remember the dram and camera clock rates being reduced when the battery SoC went under 40% in the nexus 5, and then when users complained of early shutdowns when using the camera with HDR mode, an update changed it to 60%.

I think I even commented on the bugreport that it would be best to do the frequency scaling based on interrupts from the voltage regulators on board, but that piping all the necessary drivers/events to do that with low enough latency to not cause an under-voltage reset was far more work than was feasible.

Thats also why 60fps video dropped frames at the start of the video if you were recording video with less than 60% battery.

On the origin is he only measuring connections?

HTTP/1.1 says a single connection can contain more than one request. The client I use has this feature. "Modern" browsers do not.

Whether proxies pipeline requests to origin servers (irrespective of the client features) I do not know. But it seems like they could preserve some origin capacity that way. Perhaps they adhere to one request per connection.

Ideally, as a user, I think it would be useful to get more diagnostics in response headers on the health of the proxies and origins. Something more informative than HTTP status codes.

That way we can build "intelligent clients" that self-adjust to current conditions in response to diagnostics they get in the responses. (The presenter references the adaptive approach of the TCP congestion algorithm.)

Some websites return diagnostics in webpage content. But of course one only gets them after a successful (cf. failed) transaction. For example, I believe wikipedia.org or archive.vector.co.uk return some diagnostics on some aspect of their setup (probably not intended to be utilised by clients).

Courts do have stricter standards for admission of evidence and verdicts. But the basic innocent-by-default is a general principle that should apply pretty much everywhere.

And there should be consistency and standards in media reporting of allegations, and for HR decisions.

> For the first 100 years, we just arrested folks who actually faked records or stole things. Now we do it if they don't make it impossible?

First, "impossible" is taking the argument to the extreme. Second, the insecure network OP described is negligence. Perhaps they were even reckless. That's not a new concept.
The US military budget is $600B. Not sure what your point is though. A 51% attack doesn't give a government control, it just allows it to double spend. And that's until a hot patch to increase the required number of confirmations resolves the issue.

Besides there's a huge supply problem here. ASICs need to be manufactured. You can't just buy several hundred thousand of them. The whole point of Bitcoin is that it's prohibitively expensive to just perform a 51% attack and impossible to entirely regulate.
He's alright. Mostly it's just the contrast from the previous CEO who was not great for the company.
Hi Evan, thanks! :-)

I use Hugo [1]. Like you, I too track my books on Goodreads. So I wrote a simple Python script to add an org file to Hugo, for each book. It is an easy set up. Please send me an email (in my profile) if you're interested and I'll share the script with you.

I strongly recommend the audiobook version of Columbus Day, if you can do that.

IANAL, but with the existence of Bitcoin futures on CME and CBOE, the CFTC presumably has some jurisdiction over insider trading in BTC spot markets, insomuch as they affect futures prices.

Under the 'Misappropriation Theory', insider trading occurs when confidential information is misappropriated for a trading gain. This interpretation of the law has been used by the CFTC in the past [0] to prosecute insider trading cases.

Did Coinbase employees (or their friends/family) commit IT under this definition? I don't know, but if I was the General Counsel of Coinbase I would be hastily typing up a mandatory internal compliance policy for immediate disclosure of cryptocurrency holdings, pre-clearance of all cryptocurrency trades, and a minimum 30-day holding period to discourage day-trading. Such policies are very standard at traditional financial institutions that have access to material non-public information (MNPI) about the financial markets.

Ukraine Security Service allegedly raid ForkLog, confiscate tech and funds
Competition is a feature, not a bug -- you're recalling a trope that has been a reactionary criticism to Adam Smith for centuries now, and was a core tenet of Marx's ideas -- that with a little central planning, there wouldn't be all of this effort wasted on competition. The original communists really believed that a planned economy would be more efficient once enacted. The fascists believed in the same basic inefficiency argument, but they thought that the government could control it while stil maintaining private property and traditional social structures. In comparison to those two, neoliberal economic theory has done pretty well for itself.
Almost everyone leaves out the full quote. It is:

> On the one hand information wants to be expensive, because it's so valuable. The right information in the right place just changes your life. On the other hand, information wants to be free, because the cost of getting it out is getting lower and lower all the time. So you have these two fighting against each other.

Why is anyone surprised by this? Coinbase sent an email out months ago saying they'd do this by Jan 1, 2018.

Dear Coinbase customer,

We are planning to have support for bitcoin cash by
January 1, 2018, assuming no additional risks emerge
during that time.
...

Thank you,

Am I crazy?

Edit: let me answer those who think I am crazy. BTC literally tripled overnight a few weeks ago when there was "speculation" about futures contracts. Price swings in the crypto world happen over the least sensible things. My assumption was that the news from Coinbase was actually helping prop up BCH all this time, and that may have been true. I guess I took for granted that it was a sure thing.
Doesn’t matter. If you’re going to die soon, get a lease. Fill the car up with the remaining dollars.
I have been working on 3 projects for nearly 2 years.. they are actually done, but I'm finishing up some testing.

Basically, they are creative ways to help you remember information in different ways, started out as 1 project and eventually turned into 3. No idea if they'll be a hit or not, but I never create projects for anyone else... I create them for myself, and then I share with the world.. if I'm using it.. I'm sure someone out there, eventually will use it too, free or paid.

When I get bored, I usually get another idea for another project.. and I start working on it.

Since the creation of those 3 projects that I won't mention at this time (as they are being saved for a Show HN) ... I've created:

https://mypost.io : allows anyone to create and publish web pages on the Internet in seconds.

https://scamshare.com : helps expose scammers and scams to the world, specifically those scams being sent via email or text.

https://callmeprivate.com : helps mask your real phone number behind a virtual number to receiving and make calls; great for individuals, entrepreneurs, or businesses.

https://textmeprivate.com: helps mask your real phone number behind a virtual number, designed specifically for SMS-only.

Working on these other projects has helped me to understand the original three and even optimize the code to clear up any "uncertainties" that I had when I first started. Now that I've completed several more projects, I can go back, and although I realize I could've coded something better.. I'm actually seeing that you can code things in different ways and still get the same process done.

As for what keeps me motivated to work on so many projects? Success or failure.. the creation of a project [ and sending it off into the world ] means success to me. The other contributing factor for motivation: I want to run my own [ SaaS ] business and get away from having to work for someone, except my customers, of course. The continuing motivation would obviously be: the more people that understand and use and even pay to use my projects will give me more incentive to keep working on them and create new ones.

Is this actually insider trading? Why? According to SEC.gov:

> Illegal insider trading refers generally to buying or selling a security, in breach of a fiduciary duty or other relationship of trust and confidence, while in possession of material, nonpublic information about the security

Bitcoin Cash is not a stock or a security, so it's questionable whether this concept even applies. But even if you considered it to be a security, then how is Coinbase's decision to list Bitcoin Cash on their exchange somehow in breach of "a fiduciary duty or other reltionship of trust and confidence"?

Perhaps there is some other SEC regulation they might be violating about how the operators of exchanges can trade on their own exchange, such as front running, but it doesn't seem like that would have anything to do with insider trading.

I agree that it's possible that Coinbase's decision to begin trading this asset could influence its value, but that doesn't make the action insider trading. It's fine to take actions while expecting to influence the value of an asset - see for example the massive short position that Ackman took against Herbalife. His public media campaign to discredit the company was expected (calculated) to drive down the value of their stock, but is the fact that he took out short sales in advance of that action "insider trading"? No.

If Schmidt's worry about Yahoo Go led to Google's purchase of Android Inc. around the same time frame then I would say you were both right.

As much as I disapprove of throwaway comments, this did make me chuckle. It does also make a serious point.
That's really strange. Because most/all modern systems build statistics about your battery as it charges and drains, to predict the life left. Without those statistics they'd have no idea how long it will last because it changes over the life of the battery. In Linux you can even see pretty graphs showing "confidence" for each percentage of battery vs "how confident" Linux is of remaining power.

https://www.makeuseof.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/power_s...

My Samsung Android phone shuts down at 5-7% battery life. And the battery dies much faster these days. But it's never "inaccurate." It doesn't jump from 50% to 2% over a course of five minutes.

Other than something else being wrong with your OS, my only guess there would be the battery got bad so quickly the OS hasn't adapted to the new life cycle yet by removing enough of the old datapoints.

> She was then put through a five-month tank training program – unlike male recruits who were given far less time before being sent to the war front (often still unprepared)

I was recently reading an interview with an old Russian tanker who fought on the eastern front in WW2 and indeed, the training was almost symbolic. One thing he said they didn't have proper cannon rounds for training (early 1942) and had to practice using regular rifles inserted into a tank's gun barrel.
Swiffy was offered as an API and is no longer available, so can't try.

The solution is a battery you can replace, like every phone used to have.

There aren’t only two solutions to this problem.

(Technically you can still replace the iPhone battery, unfortunately it isn’t trivial like in the bad old days when phones didn’t have high def touch screens.)

Android was acquired in 2005. Larry was the driving force behind the acquisition, IIRC.
Usually it costs me around $1000 for a ghost written book. Book is around 35k words (3c/word). Editing is 1.5c/word or flat rate depending who I get to do it. Covers are usually $250 for ebook or double if I get physical.

I use vellum to format ($250 one time). Requires a mac. The company I use will sometimes do this for me for free.

Marketing beyond email list is then either book bub if I can get in or amazon ads.

Mailchimp/digitalocean for email list/Wordpress site hosting. Google Apps for email. Those are my reoccurring costs.

Break even is usually 800-1k copies sold @ $2.99 list (I earn 70% of that). Plus whatever I spent on marketing. Anything outside 2.99-9.99 Amazon will only pay 30% royalties. I earn roughly a dollar per book read via kindle unlimited.

The first few books will take a while to earn back. Building your following/email list is the most important thing. I use it for engagement. “New book coming soon! Giving away 25 advance reader copies enter here”. Then before release “pre order now. Here is the feedback from those that won a free copy.” The surge of reviews/early sales helps boost Amazon ranking (new readers) as well as to quickly earn back what I spent producing it.
My understanding is that "knowledgeable outsiders", in executing trades, effectively make accessible whatever esoteric-but-technically-public information they had to the market, and so help prices adjust toward their correct value.

Knowledgeable insiders, on the other hand, can execute "hidden" trades that aren't revealed to the public market—and so don't provide information to the market. This distorts the market, moving the value of the instrument away from its true price.

Monocultures are dangerous too.

I think it would be pretty cool to see Coinbase employees go to prison for insider trading. Not out of any sort of vengeance, I just think it would be a huge paradigm shift in cryptoland. Continuing saga between regulation and pure greed/manipulation of cryptos. I assume most country's (especially the US's) federal regulations are way too slow to verify this is in fact true illegal insider trading though?
