I always wait a few months from release before upgrading OS precisely because there always seems to be teething problems (for both macOS or Windows), so I'm still on Sierra and haven't had any issues to drive me away. Like others I couldn't live without the UNIX tools and CLI on my current machine, so I'd be interested to see where WSL is at when I next look for an upgrade in a few years.

Apart from those tools I'm really not a fan of metro and generally how Windows is laid out; everything feels pretty clunky while macOS feels smooth (though I'm definitely biased having used a mac for the last 4 years). I love the macOS window management and gestures, so there'd definitely have to an equivalent for those for me to move over. They all may well exist at the minute; I've not done any research for ages.
Opposition to or support of unimportant things have real consequences, too. Just smaller ones, typically, but the butterfly effect can be a real bitch.
I had to look it up, because as an outsider this argument is surreal to me. And sure enough, if you go in /r/btc and perform a search for the term “bcash”, there are pages of results that show the community at large generally hates the term.

Seems a little extreme to me but it is what it is, I guess.
Ask HN: Have you tried and failed with an “email killer”?
I am writing about the history of email and I've lately been researching supposed "email killers" like Google Wave. If you have worked on something that was supposed to disrupt or replace email, I would love to hear your thoughts on why you think it failed and where you see email in 20 years. You can post your thoughts here or email me on jbd344 at gmail. Thanks

>Why didn't you argue against my point that the cost of living varies massively between regions? Why shouldn't we send homeless to a lower cost of living area?

Why shouldn't we send you somewhere that you don't want to live? They're people - not cattle.
Funny how attribution brings out defensiveness. Do you also think all bylines should be removed from articles?

It doesn't appear to me that the OP was saying anything about invalidation.
Contact is good. When the well-off just get to export away the ugly byproducts of their society, they're liable to produce more of them. Portlanders need contact with these homeless so that they will build a Portland which is either (1) better to the homeless or (2) doesn't produce as many of them.

Besides he did make a point against your argument. Why should people in Nebraska and Oklahoma and Idaho have to deal with the homeless of Portland? We've got our own homeless to take care of so you can keep yours, thanks.

This seems like it might be interesting if there were some technical detail about how it actually works.
Can we just stop for a moment and look at what people are actually trading here? A decentralised protocol upheld by a cryptographic function. This can't be compared with any stocks or commodity. Maybe the crash will be the same but it is still different.

This signifies that the police in question don't believe their conduct is wrong. This definitely comes down to a problem that needs to be sorted with proper training and establishing proper protocols on how to deal with these situations.

The Crypto Kitty bubble already popped. I lost a paycheck, which sucks right before Christmas.

Ultimately I am probably lucky that I learned my lesson with "Captain Furball Cheezburger" instead of losing my mortgage when Bitcoin pops.

According to the CIA there is 80 Trillion dollars in the world in soft money. With 21 million Bitcoins, if 1% of all the worlds money was transferred to Bitcoin, each Bitcoin would be worth $38,000.

We are basically half way there. I wouldn't be surprised if it gets that high, but we I don't understand how people think it could keep going past that even theoretically. If someone understands the reasoning behind the $500,000 predictions, I would love to have that explained.
We were lazy . We just charged the capacitors in electronics class so the next class would get a nice jolt when they needed to use them.

As @farrisbris mentioned, this is mortgage based debt (in the Netherlands).

All debt is tracked, including the 'free' phone you get with your subscription. You can't go over a limit based on your income.

Also a large difference with for example the US is that in the Netherlands you don't need a down payment when buying a home. And until recently you could include the transfer tax, realtor, etc in the mortgage. All which make it easier to buy a home and thereby driving up the debt of a household.
I don't know. People at least know what stocks are. Bitcoin is mysterious to most non-technical people and seems sort of sketchy at first glance.
I like the 3D animation movies of Pixir with non-realistic rendering (especially from 1990s, 2000s).

Though like many I dislike the CGI movies that started with the first Transformer movie (with blue screen action) and now with the dozens of super hero boring fad. Action movies of the 1980s and 1990s and early 2000s were so great. Nowadays thankfully they use more real stunts again, though this mass of boring super hero and hundreds of TV series that no one has time to see. All we want is new high value Hollywood movies.
Someone said it's ok if everyone talks about that, start worrying when everyone says they bought some.
Perhaps, given the topic, I jumped too quickly into confrontational left-vs-right thinking.

Anyhow: I quite dislike it when articles and arguments are dismissed with simple labeling tactics ("they said this other thing before, so what they say now carries no weight").

I should have written "dismissed" rather than "attacked".
Extending Osquery with Go
The value boundaries provide is shorter feedback loops. Until you have experienced organizations that lack them you will not appreciate the disasters that can be prevented that way.

Boundaries are also essential for freedom. Without boundaries there is interference. Would you like to house anyone in your place? Would you like anyone to have a say how you spend your money? Do you understand the role of budgeting in an organization and the freedom that is bestowed to the budget holders?
It feels qualitatively different to argue that “he and I disagree on firearms but we continue to work together” is the same basic concept.

Imagine you’re a gay man, happily married. You work at Mozilla.

Don’t you think it would be difficult to go into work, and report to your CEO, knowing that he had donated against gay marriage? That he feels your way of life has no place in America?

Mozilla is an outspoken champion of net neutrality, anonymity, free speech, open standards, and several other ideologies that emphasize freedom. How can you clap at an all-hands meeting when your CEO stands in front of the company and talks about the importance of these freedoms, while knowing that he also feels so strongly that your private relationship with your husband is so abhorrent that he thought it was a good use of $1000 to try to ban it?

If the liberals “win”, and guns are banned tomorrow, like they are in Australia, are you so committed to your firearm rights that you’ll consider moving to another country, or suicide because life just isn’t worth living? Do you think it’s ludicrous that gay people might consider those options?

Firearms are a choice. Being gay is not. Judgement against gay marriage is judgement against who you are. Judgement against firearms is judgement against a hobby.

Take the argument back 50 years. Do you think a white boss who donated money against equal rights could/would treat black employees fairly?

Imagine that you’re a gay employee at Mozilla. You’ve been gunning for a promotion into upper management, and someone else wins the position. Are you never going to wonder, “Does his skin crawl when we shake hands? Would I have won the position if my Facebook didn’t have pictures of me and my husband on it?”

Have you ever wondered if your love of firearms has impacted your professional career?
I don't think we've seen anything yet. Imagine the crash when Bitcoin is $1M or $10M. I don't see that as an impossibility.
Nice post.

Cyclists shouldn't be on the road in the first place. They're a non-powered vehicle and as such are pedestrians same as someone on a skateboard. They either need to be on sidewalks, or have their own separate paths (that are physically separate from roads which are for powered vehicles only). As for non-driverless cars (driven cars?) that's a more complicated problem, but as they become increasingly less common they should eventually get their own dedicated lanes to keep them out of the way of the driverless cars. Eventually we'll likely see a bifurcated system where driverless cars operate at much higher speeds that they can safely do (say 100+ mph in some areas), while manually driven cars are restricted to speeds more appropriate for human reflexes and awareness, say something averaging about 50 mph with some sections getting up to 80 mph or so.
"minor insults to the brain – perhaps a virus or mild injury"
For completeness, there's a related argument as to why you'd want to sell a call option with a strike price that looks a long way from the current price (an out of the money option in the jargon).

If you already own bitcoin with the price at 20k, you can sell the call option with the strike at 50k. You will immediately be given the premium. Now, if the price < 50k when the option expires you've made more money (the premium) than you would have done otherwise.

If it does expire above 50k, you can sell your bitcoin and give (current price - 50k). As such, you don't lose money but you don't gain as much as you would if you hadn't written the option.

This is called selling a covered call and is very common in the stock market. If you don't own the underlying asset i.e. enough bitcoin, this is called selling a naked option and is quite risky as you're exposed to the price going very high.
Can't wait for books about the crash, like boo.com. That was a good read.
Now I think of it John something--Beresniewicz--who had written a book or two on Oracle, used to turn up at conferences with a pony tail (or perhaps braid) to the small of his back. He was neatly dressed, but not formally.
But at the end of the day who is wrong in a situation where a car signals to turn into the bike lane ahead of a biker (with plenty of room, it's safe) and then signals again to turn right at an intersection if the bike decides to go around the car on the right anyways and gets hit by it?

I view the issue people are having with Uber's Self Driving Cars not "handling right turns in bike lanes well" in the same light as the reason you take a left hand turn at an intersection from the left-most lane. If you tried to take a left from the right most lane it puts everyone to your left at danger and definitely doesn't let people coming towards you know what you are doing.

I feel the same exact thing should apply to the right lanes and bike lanes regardless if it is a car or a bike. To turn right you get as far right as you can, you check your mirrors sure, but you don't really let what anyone else is doing behind you change how you drive. I view worrying about driving in that way is possibly evidence that you are the scared, defensive-type driver. Hesitation can be a killer.
Radical vegan want to deny the fundamental right of eating meat.
I completely agree, the code of conduct has been used multiple times as a trojan horse in the sense that it only contains things nobody could reasonably disagree with (because who would not want a welcoming environment), only to then be used to shun /outcast people based on views particularly on gender and diversity. This is one of the issues Sam Altman referred to in his blog that simply cannot be talked about in Silicon Valley currently.
I would understand your position better if you said, "I would always recommend that we discuss this with sons first, and teach them how their actions enable sexual assault, even indirectly". I think that's not your position though…

No, it is not my position.

Children are born innocent. Hanging societal crap on male children for the crime of being born male only perpetuates societal crap. Male children who don't yet even have a sexuality should not be getting the message right out the gate that "We know you are basically a rapey bastard, hell bent on taking advantage of women. So we feel a strong need to inculcate you with brainwashing to the contrary to try to mitigate your inherently evil nature."

Yes, I am aware that men have a lot of money and power in the world that can constitute an unfair advantage. I am doing what I can to redress that. But, among other things, starting with the assumption that boys will always have an advantage perpetuates the problem.

You may never agree with me. Even if you eventually do, that day is probably not coming any time soon. Investing more time in basically arguing with you probably does neither of us any good at all.

I would appreciate it if you just drop this. I don't think this is productive.
There's a huge conflation in people's views on this topic between "safe"* and "echo chamber".

A safe space should be a place with moderation guidelines around the type of discussion being had, rather than the type of views being discussed. We can have social media platforms free from overt abuse without restricting the views being aired.

I can have a conversation with someone where they espouse views that offend me without being personally offended by the discussion. If they start shouting insults in my face, then that's different: that's not an environment I want to be in.

- * This is purely anecdotal, but I think this conflation probably arises from discourse in modern identity politics, and the term "safe spaces". The intent of this term is often fine, imo, but for a subset of people it's extended not only to mean a space that is free from abuse, but rather a space that is free from people who don't understand your politics in great detail, to avoid being offended by "innocent ignorance" (e.g. using incorrect terminology).

Unreal Engine 4 Rendering Part 1: Introduction
> You should not be able to hold whatever views you like and participate in the community. There is no form of bigotry that belongs in software.

The problem with this philosophy is that it has a significant potential (and likelihood) for abuse. You feel very strongly that your view is the Correct View about the rights of gay people. Maybe you are! That specific example doesn’t matter here - what matters is that the passion you feel is not a valid heuristic.

Take a moment to put aside your very strongly held personal belief about gay rights to consider this dispassionately: aside from the fact that you feel right in your views, what is materially different about your suggestion from the suggestion that people should not be allowed to eat meat and participate in the community, because eating meat is unethical? What would your reaction be if I was advocating this position as strongly as you’re advocating yours?

I posit that we should begin only with the axioms that 1. outright violence and advocation of violence should be impermissible, and 2. advocation of any controversial agenda does not belong in the workplace, violent or otherwise. Adding more to that has the insidious side effect of being used to suppress opinions which are actually diverse. Therefore, when an opposing perspective does not violate one of these axioms, we should consider it with a principle of symmetry: both parties feel very strongly about their views, and your personal feeling that you’re correct is not unique.

You can be effectively intolerant of violence, but I do not consider it plausible that you can construct a framework for tolerating diversity of opinion without tolerating some opinions you find personally abhorrent. That implies the person who implemented that framework has only Correct Views and no Incorrect Views, which seems extremely unrealistic.

That's sound like anything political and not just conservatives. Speaking of conservatives (and to bring things back to the article), I remember reading on HN that salt lake city, Utah is one of the best at handling homelessness.
What I've never understood about the echo chamber argument is the notion that it's merely an unstimulating exchange of views echoed back and forth that entails loss of social richness or complexity.

The ways communities differ from each other depend on so many particularized variables, as different from each other as fingerprints. They can be stagnant, or they can be special, precisely because of their convergence on certain ideas & values. But that depends on the details, so the blanket charge of sameness feels intellectually lazy.

And let's not forget that we're talking about addressing a specific set of problems: the whack-a-mole problem with bots & trolls, the problem of social cooling, the constant brand building, the bad faith arguing. Not wanting those very specific things still leaves wide open possibilities for how interaction can work within a community. If the desire to solves those problems look to you like a desire for an echo chamber, it might say a lot about the things you associate with normalcy.
Do you know about the journalist who spent years obsessing about this and supposedly had some predictive success relating to serial killers?

Probably good news for investors long term. Bitcoin again continues to grow up and be treated as an equal to bonds, stocks, etc.

One thing I would like to see in articles like this are more concrete use cases for using serverless. The article begins talking about the concept as though you should write your entire app in serverless, and then in their case study, use serverless as a background process to convert image types.

The other use case I always come across is image scaling.

I'd be interested if anyone would like to share their use cases as entire apps or background processes.

Whenever you parry, hit, spring, strike or touch the enemy's cutting sword, you must cut the enemy in the same movement. It is essential to attain this.

Wherever you buy it, that purchase is traceable. Wherever you sell it, that sale is traceable. Oh, just realised now even though you didn’t say this: Unless the thing you use to buy it, or for which you sell it, is also anonymous… of course, at that point it is no longer a benefit of bitcoin compared to the other thing.

> Isfahan and have a gold coin under your materace. How would go about selling 1/10 of it and how it compares to process of cashing out 1/10th of 1 BTC in cold storage?

Physical gold? OK, but I was thinking gold in a bank account, which is a thing you can get (“Glint”, I think is the name).

1) go to cash-for-gold corner shop, of which there seem to be far too many at the moment
2) divide coin into 1/10ths
3) exchange 1/10th coin for other financial token

From my history lessons, this is pretty much how money worked in the old days when it wasn’t just backed by gold but literally made from it, except 1) wasn’t needed because the shops just weighed your coins.
