But living here myself, I can attest that Dutch drivers are better than US drivers.

Perhaps because of better drivers and possibly better cyclists, the chaos that is rush hour cycling results in far fewer accidents than I would expect.

Universities and managers must do a little bit of torture, spanking and ruler on the knuckles every time they see a student or a new dev not parameterize a query. It must become a reflex like watching for cars before crossing a street.

I guess much of it is just planting a flag, signaling to shareholders and the like that they are not getting left behind. There is a huge difference between "we are in touch with this" and "we are fully committing to this".

It's like the difference between a software consultancy claiming scala expertise because they had a few people read up on it and a software consultancy stopping to write java.

I have nothing against the guy.

There's a whole industry whose goal is to spread disinformation.

If improving stability was the intention, why haven't they ever warned anyone that it would make their expensive, perfectly functioning phone relatively useless?

The "buy once update forever" business model of the Mac App Store is the real financial burden, not the ~30% tariff. Dev houses need some residual income, esp in the relatively small Mac market.

I have no trouble believing you. I'm in the financial industry, although as an IT guy and not a finance one, but I gave back that utter abomination of the Lenovo Carbon X1 second generation because of the atrocious keyboard (touchstrip, ESC relocated, Tilde relocated, "split" Del/Backspace key etc).

Same reason I won't buy the new Macbook pro - they fucked with the ESC key, they instantly stopped existing as a viable product for me.

At no point did I suggest messing with their keyboard - just give them better visualization possibilities.

I wish I could just pay the sites I go to the equivalent of what they'd get from me in ads. How much could that be worth per month? Like $10? I'm sure loads of people would be willing to pay that to support and get ad-free content from all the sites they read. There's just no easy way to do that.
thanks for that tremendous information.
I live in Europe and to me it seems that its a general American mentality of everybody having a car

New York is different. Car ownership is extremely low and the subway is a vital part of the city's transportation infrastructure.

The problem seems more attitude wise. We want great infrastrure while paying low taxes. This contradiction, of course, isn't really solvable as can be seen in the generally pretty rotten state of infrastructure in the US.
Another frequent type of blind SQL injection is when the server gives an error or a slightly different output on some queries. The server code may for example travel down a different path if the query doesn't output any results and then shows an error. Even if the error doesn't show the contents of the query, it can also be used to slowly extract data through generated yes/no questions.

In one case I managed a successful blind attack for a client because their server showed an English site for valid queries returning the right results, and a German one for unexpected queries.

I said it before and I will say it again: We need a non-profit, simple, and universally supported small-payment system which enables a user to easily donate 1-5$ to a random website without relying on Paypal or creditcards.

Flattr was a good step in the right direction but unfortunately it never reached critical mass.

If Google and Facebook combined their market force to introduce such a system then it would be an instant game changer when it comes to supporting websites. Nowadays I can use Facebook/Gmail to log into random webpages, why can't I also use those accounts for tipping?

Well.. 1/2 the famous actors in Hollywood since the 90s seem to be Australian. (I could name dozens.) Which is something.. My gripe is that not only Aussies have to put up with hearing them do fake US accents in movies close to 100% of the time, but whenever there's an Australian in a US movie, they get someone from the US to play them. Arghh. As if there's no Aussie actors there! ha. Maybe they're all too famous. I guess it sounds convincing to a US audience. It must do. But OMG it sounds so fake to Australians. It just sounds like someone from the US trying and failing to do an Aussie accent. e.g. there was one in Fargo series, and it was about the only bad thing about Tropic Thunder. Please don't do this. At this rate, soon there'll be a movie with Australians doing US accents in the starring roles, with supporting cast of US actors trying to sound Australian.. Mark my words.

p.s. Is that the first mention of drop bears on HN? Well done :-)

Compared with other countries I’ve lived in, Germany is a dream for cyclists. Of course, I haven’t cycled in very many countries even within Europe, so it may well be that Germany is not so great in the grand scheme of things - I couldn’t tell you.
similarly i have almost crashed a couple of times because of pedestrians carelessly walking onto the bike lane (when getting out of their car for example). One time a guy walking next to the bike lane suddenly threw his arm up into my face as i passed (he was going in my direction, so couldn't see me, but was gesticulating widely with this friends).
So it goes both ways...

I just finished taking 213 last week. It's one of those courses that is quite difficult, but still rewarding. Even though it was quite hard to score an A on some assignments (like this one), I still felt that the grading scheme was "fair" and reflective of my actual understanding relative to other students.

I ended up getting a B on malloc, and the morning after I finished I woke up with a clever idea for an optimization that would significantly decrease utilization and probably get me the A. If only I had started a day earlier!
The pressure was probably from the ISP side. This is easy to make for the ISP, just one extra line in the request for tender.

For IoT devices it is harder to push through, there are no real incentives to spend on security except the potential for bad marketing once systems are compromised. In my company we usually have unique device and server generated public/private keys so compromising one device will not make the whole fleet vulnerable. This is just one of the methods. In most cases security is really hard to sell to the project managers at early stage of R&D unless they have had prior unpleasant experience or market mandated stringent requirements themselves. After all, making systems more secure is usually going to make projects longer and more costly on the paper. "Security is not part of the MVP and we will worry about it later" is way too common reaction.

> Short version of what bitcoin is: it is a currency, but an entirely new kind of currency that can’t be seized or frozen by governments, one which is integrated with its transaction system where transaction fees are optional, and where you can transfer any amount anywhere instantly without any authority knowing or interfering.

Ha, of course a government can seize any assets these days. We've seen this a couple of times already.

...and there is no control factor whatsoever, so we cannot even begin to guess whether we should credit
1) the meditation
2) the supplement piles he consumed twice daily
3) the mdma
4) the exercise
5) the litany of other "wellness" practices he concatenated.

I have no doubt whatsoever that that the author did indeed achieve his goals.

We have, however, no clue as to what is useful versus bogus due to the everything-and-the-kitchen-sink approach.

Perhaps I would find it more useful to extrapolate valuable lifestyle advice from if the author did:
1) a month of only mdma (lol)
2) a month of only meditation
3) a month of only supplements
and to make it fair, it should be the same month over and over again, so we will need a time machine.

It might also be easier to clone the author and then apply the various treatments to the individual clones.

Maybe the next round of tests should incorporate ayahuasca ceremonies and hanging from inversion boots.
The article linked talked about the actual text of the bill. It might not have linked it, but their interpretations and the interpretations of experts interviewed are correct. It already was a good starting point.
I would really be happy if there was a journalism company that I could pay for quality articles.

Unfortunately, most articles are low quality. Clickbait journalism is like this - a lot of people produce things that people would be willing to pay to not read.

The quality articles are also extremely rare; most media sites are one hit wonders, creating only one or two quality things. So a subscription would not be helpful either.

I think a better way to monetize would be to write a book or something, collecting the best of the best, or digging deeper into an idea that went viral. Tim Ferriss and Cal Newport comes to mind.

I like Russell's definition (and his beautiful prose):

Philosophy, as I shall understand the word, is something intermediate between theology and science. Like theology, it consists of speculations on matters as to which definite knowledge has, so far, been unascertainable; but like science, it appeals to human reason rather than to authority, whether that of tradition or that of revelation. All definite knowledge—so I should contend— belongs to science; all dogma as to what surpasses definite knowledge belongs to theology. But between theology and science there is a No Man's Land, exposed to attack from both sides; this No Man's Land is philosophy

Once the rail lines are paid for, the cost per passenger is very low

This statement is patently wrong. You can't just build a rail line (plus signaling, plus other necessary infrasatructure) and then just forget about it.

You also need massive capital investments into the rolling stock and all this requires significant maintenance.

An argument can certainly be made if public transport should be free, but stating that the costs are low and essentially paid for once the (very expensive) infrastructure stands is just ludicrous.
I think geezerjay meant it as a literal statement of past values rather than speculation on a future price.

The absolute maximum value that bitcoin has ever traded at publicly is (I believe) just under $20k USD. His point is that no rational investor would bet the farm on a 3x increase on anything regardless of past values.

This is the reason why advertised investments need to include a disclaimer stating that past returns are not an indicator of future success.

That all being said - I don't think a bet like this requires someone to be masking a cashout. Not everything has to be a conspiracy. It's far more likely someone is caught up in the hysteria and genuinely believes that Bitcoin will hit that value (which it might, I don't have a crystal ball).

To be the devil's advocate from employer perspective, old folks:

1. Work fewer hours, because of age and family

2. Pay is higher, because of experience

What this implies is their wage per hour metric is higher than younglings. So didn't veteran coder get stuff done more swiftly? IMO, yes, some of them are extremely valuable and irreplaceable. But they are RARE, and doesn't need Facebook Ads to find another job, they cultivate connections or head hunters find them.

So the rest of the old folks are the one that suffer most from ageism. Their career growth stuck when they are around mid 30s, as the scope of their work doesn't expand, their experience also stagnate, they end up doing the same stuff for many many years. At some point, the age is going to catch upon them, when their years of experience becomes a liability other than assets.

Sad part of this is it is not necessarily their fault. They get caught up in their own comfort zone, not because they like it, but often time subjects to circumstances. And software is a field moves so fast, talking about relevance of skills in 5 years term doesn't make too much sense.

Solution? Better social security net could help, but won't solve the problem, unless you go to the Japan model, at the expense of suffocating the younger generation, which is not only costly yet not feasible in western societies.

So you're saying that we shouldn't expect any new competition in web browsing, and it's expected to stay an Oligopoly forever, unless a new entrant to the market gets a significant advantage?

That, too, sounds exactly like what would be needed to demand more government regulation of that market.

One of the tasks of the government is to ensure that any market is free to new entrants, and that only the best product wins, and network effects are eliminated.
Yes, they had a "Plan Be", but they went with "Plan A" instead :-)
Honestly at this point nobody can really make predictions for the short or medium term. There's not much in the way of underlying use of BTC as anything but a gamble here, and the tech enthusiasts/crypto-libertarians have been massively outnumbered by the bandwagoneers and FOMO.

The Bitcoin bubble could explode tomorrow or next year or just possibly it could find a way to become self sustaining (seems unlikely). It could repeat the crash-peak-crash pattern. It could do anything and analysis seems essentially pointless.
Not being able to cash out is the entire point of a crash.

Imagine the mathematical edge case of an infinitely fast crash, BTC becoming instantly worthless. In that situation, the 4% who still own almost all of the then-worthless BTC, if they did not fail to play their cards right, will already have almost all the paper money that the 95+% gave them over the course of building their modest "bitcoin fortunes" (though much of that paper money will already be burnt on ASICs and energy). The real crash will be an approximation of that hypothetical instant crash model, with individual outcomes based on quick and correct identification of the crash and (logical and: you need both to succeed) preferred access to the last round of buyers.

You can use almost any exchange in the world, and then send the fiat in foreign currency into your bank account. Your bank will happily convert to CAD, taking ~3% on a bad conversion rate. Just call your bank prior, make sure they accept USD or EUR or whatever currency you chose.

So it's ok to discriminate agaist workers younger than 40? How does this work?
Fair.

People forget about the drugs, guns and human-trafficking that built Bitcoin.

It may have started as a response to the corruption in the banking system, but that's not how it got to where it is now.
People writing those article should know better, it's the wall street journal for god's sake. Buying a call option doesn't mean you're bullish that the future is going to trade up to that point. It could be a hedge for a short position or a way to go gamma-long or a way to make a structure cost-less, or really some other trading idea.

The point is that if the price goes up, the call option price goes up faster, and then the trader can sell it before it reaches 50k. Liquidity though may be an issue.

EDIT: what matters is that it is _possible_ that bitcoin goes to 50k next year. And since it is possible, people need to take that possibility into account in their strategies. It's like S&P option strike range for dec18, it goes from 1700 to 3100. Is it likely that SP price goes down to 1700 in the next year? no, but it's certainly possible.

This works by taking advantage of a format string exploit. It is by definition undefined behavior. It just so happens that this behavior is constant an gives the ability to change the flow of the program. At least in the popular glibc. However if someone were to rewrite how printf works but didn't allow the format string vulnerability, it would still be a valid c compiler.

I like to use LOCs to see at a glance the size of a project. A more complex business logic usually takes more LOCs to write it down. And I bet there is a strong correlation between LOCs and hours worked on a project which would make LOCs a good approximation of work done. Actually I should research it. Should be not too hard to find all the tickets for projects and compare the time logged to LOCs.
I have a counter-perspective to provide:

Many of the points you've raised are moot outside of large corporate environments and projects.

It is likely that the commenter has root access to all of the things you mention and touches them on a daily basis. It is likely that they are not inundated with all of the heavy process you're bringing up. It is likely that all of the security concerns you raise are not even part of their current business. Working outside of set business hours is likely not a concern; overtime is likely uncompensated anyway and there probably aren't considerable office security protocols (they probably have keys and an access code for the whole office).

The points you've raised do not apply to most small development teams.

Don't be biased. Your improvement might be heavily influenced by the fact that you work on the same codebase, in the same company, with the same people. If you were to start a new job somewhere else, your productivity would likely drop significantly during the first years.
