Exactly this. During the subprime crisis, even the big banks couldn't offload their risk.

It's crazy to think an amateur investor in Bitcoin is going to be able to "keep the exits clear". By the time you see the downturn those exits are long gone.
IMO the answer is not technical but legislated responsibility and appropriate penalties. If there was any sort of downside to collecting and insecurely storing all this data the problem would be self-correcting

This is a much more elegant solution. We should also get rid of the CCFA.
In many countries you are obligated to "donate" one copy of any published and distributed work to the national library. That includes music, film, radio, tv, books, papers, pamphlets, websites etc. Depending on how the law is written this might also include games in playable form, so online games would require a copy of the server application as well as the client. If not games should be included asap.

Making these archives available for the general public might be difficult, but librarians are creative and many already have experience in making games available to the public. It's manageable.
Ask HN: What are some good Chinese CS programs for foreigners?
My friend and I are interested in going to China for a few months to study CS. We were inspired by the great performances of Chinese infosec CTF teams and participating in CTFs hosted by these teams.

Our ideal would be a bilingual program kind of like Recurse Center (shorter than full masters program, with focus on CS fundamentals, low cost), but we’re interested in all good options!
the reason for that saying is because by the time the lowest class of service workers is buying then there is nobody else to buy from them

Stocks and commodities spread through society that way, from the most well connected VCs down to the lower class when the price rise makes them feel like they have a chance to get rich after it is shown in their nonfinancial choices of entertainment

Bitcoin hasnt gone through society in this route

Existing hedge funds, VCs, University endowments and pension funds are legally incapable of buying cryptocurrency

They are all forming new LPs with new operating agreements to do so

There is no institutional leverage or credit in the cryptocurrency ecosystem

There are no derivatives to manage risk yet

The lower class will be selling to the institutions soon
Look at your competitors. What do they legally have to do to operate? Licensing, taxes, insurance, permits, etc.. Tally up all those things. Then stop paying them. Now you can offer lower rates than competitors. If the government tells you that you have to do certain things hire a lawyer and claim that you aren't actually in the industry that you are in.
Between now and the event horizon, there may be considerable opportunity.

I mined some bitcoin in the early days, when you could solo-mine for a week or so and net coins. I had a handful of coins that I cashed out for less than $100, because I didn't like Bitcoin as a long-term investment. If I'd sold half, I'd have made a tidy profit off the sale of the first half, with another handful of coins that, even if they tanked, I'm still in the black. But, if they go to some ridiculous number, like $10,000, I'm substantially better off.

Needless to say, I didn't save half, but even for people buying in now (I'm not), could end up doing well, even if the trajectory of BTC is $15k, $20k, $45k, $0, Of course, if the trajectory is $15k, $10k, $5k, $0, they'll be shit out of luck.
To me, this is a metaphor that might better explain it, "You need a different approach for getting your first million than your second." (I've heard it attributed to customers, revenue, personal income, etc). It sounds like Python (and features like dynamic typing) works very well at bootstrapping and developing. They're leveraging different features (more like static typing) once they get larger and more time is spent on maintenance (and rewriting everything isn't appealing [1]).

Honestly, your octagonal wheel metaphor works, too. Building the first car you spend a lot of time on octagonal (crude) wheels, but later spend a lot more money on round (precision) wheels. You could have gone bankrupt spending money originally on round wheels that were the wrong size.

NL has historically had bikes in large numbers since bicycles were a thing.

If there was one thing the Dutch were pissed off about very long until after the war it was that the Germans took all the bicycles (or at least large numbers of them) to toss them in the smelt for their weapons factories.

When I was a kid - not all that long ago, say 1971 - German tourists were routinely told that if they wanted to get directions they first had to return some bikes... Since then the sentiment has fortunately changed a lot but there definitely were tons of bicycles here prior to WWII.

Even the Dutch version of the road-side assistance was originally called the 'Algemene Nederlandse Wielrijders Bond', which is as much as the Dutch bicycling association. They were instrumental in marking the roads and providing help for stranded cyclists. Over time they morphed into the more car centric entity of today.
Yeah, quite possibly. I feel like I've stepped through some pretty gnarly iterator chains and it's worked surprisingly well. It is rare that I actually need to turn to the debugger, so I could be mistaken.

Ok. I did experience it. It would be unsurprising if there is biological variability in this. But from the parent's description if they did experience symptoms like it, it seems like ketone flu is a highly likely explanation.

I JUST recovered from the flu (yesterday was my first day without fever). At it's worst, 102 degrees under a pile of warm blankets, with thermal underwear and sweatpants on. Was still cold.

I hesitated on taking medication to treat the symptoms because my understanding is that a fever is your body's way of fighting the virus. I let it run its course for a few days, before I started taking Ib Profin which was a SILVER BULLET for breaking the fever. Within 30 minutes of taking it (800) I was back to normal temp.

I wonder if I had taken Ib Profin from the start, would I have been stifling my bodies natural ability to defeat the virus? Would I have potentially increased my risk for developing secondary disorders as a result of the infection? I can't help but feel like letting your body run it's course (while being safe) is the best way to go... I am not a doctor, nor a virologist.
it's hard to imagine that he believes he stands a chance. i'm sure any worthwhile consultant or polysci adviser could let him down gently.
For me to know your view, you must have expressed it in some manner. That implies an action on your part. For me to know your gender or race, you simply need to exist, and must actively work to hide either.

Expressing their view took action, and their actions can affect me.
Just read through that issue thread on github. That makes me almost cry! Here's an awesome project (whether it's dated or not), and then there are all these people trying to make valid, good contributions, but for some reason (however valid they are) they have to go through all these red-tapes.

I don't know where to stand. One side, maybe you need all these red-tapes so that you don't get in any trouble. But this makes me feel like things are not going to progress and people will eventually turn away.

Haven't we already seen too many examples like this? Things start small, they get popular, people jump in to use, then things get political and it dies out.
reasons (advantages) for using python (or any other dynamic lang.) when in startup mode is more than just typing. Similarly the advantages of continuing to use python outweigh the costs of doing this little "type-dance".

Wild is not a very well supported format though.

From the game director, in response to a criticism from earlier this year, says as much:

The fact that he's gambling on bitcoin is not the only problem. As you near retirement (or in this guys case, are retired), you want to reduce your risk profile. If my life savings disappear in my young 20's, no big deal, I can rebuild them. At 80, if that money goes, it's gone for good.

I feel really sad reading this. This can only end in tears for people like this old guy, or the people buying BTC with their credit card, or the people taking out mortgages to buy crypto.

B. A number of embarrassing security failures on macOS recently

C. A lack of focus on macOS (Probably the cause of B)

It's true that you can't model the entire game perfectly for any interesting game. But to play a game like Go you only need to know the current state in order to play optimally. If you play poker in a way that only accounts for your current state (i.e., you just take an expected value given the cards on the table, the cards in your hand, and the size of the pot) it won't take long for a competent player to learn how to consistently beat you. (Such a player would get tricked by bluffing, for instance.) In order to play correctly you need to model your opponent's strategy by understanding what their past moves were so that you can guess their probability of bluffing.
It is illegal and it is tax evasion in some jurisdictions.

in my experience at least some of those who openly/seriously call themselves dicks are low-level sadists that just enjoy being abusive or insensitive and use the "self-aware" commentary as an equivalent to the standard "inb4" forum post (ie "inb4 i'm a dick").

Google aimed at killing it when they embraced and extinguished Dejanews, then they removed the discussion filter option from their search page, which to me speaks for itself about their nefarious intentions. Then Facebook and Twitter success and ISPS shutting down their servers were the last nails in the coffin.

I still use it and am very active on mewsgroups, but traffic today is a fraction of a fraction of what it was in the late 90s. NNTP is a wonderful way to communicate, but it's decentralized and ad free, corporations cannot make a profit out of it, so it must be killed.

Navigating a large code base that is dynamically typed like Python is far more tedious than something like C++ or C#.

First you can't read what the types passed into and out of functions are. You have to find their usages to work it out. Second, you can't reliable do things like "find usages" or "go to definition" because of the dynamic typing.
reading hn comments
Sorry, I guess I jumped to the conclusion that you profiled in production because you had a mandatory type checker which would cause runtime errors if invalid types were passed. Let me try another question. Do you think that a project like MonkeyType would substantially aid adding flow annotations to a JavaScript project? If so, why is the value to the Python ecosystem higher than the value to the Flow/JavaScript ecosystem (i.e. why doesn't it exist for JS)?
1) so you say there is a (positive) correlation, but it is not "fixed". Sorry, I don't understand what this means.

2) I know what you mean. I do it often myself and I know it improves code quality. It's not my intention to measure "work done" in LOCs, which, as you say, could be contradictory. I propose to measure the size of a project in LOCs. Suppose, you have two projects. And you have all the time you want to reduce their LOCs (to improve code). After you are done, both projects will still have some LOCs. My point is that the project, which has more LOCs, after you had your fun with it, is the "bigger"/more complicated project.

Speaking for myself, I'm not going back to Chrome over this alone -- I'm pleased with how FF57 handles and enough of Mozilla's positive efforts over time that I'm unlikely to let this event define them if they take steps to make sure it's an anomaly.

But every one of these things seems like legit issues that I'd like to see made an anomaly, and it's conceivable that if Mozilla isn't able to make it crystal clear that they know how to make things go that way, Chrome might well be the right choice.

Rust support landed in gdb 7.12 (released October 2016). It has some rough edges; and some missing spots (mostly caused by insufficient debuginfo).

I'm working full time on Rust debugging now. My basic plan is to write a Rust plugin for lldb (WIP branch https://github.com/tromey/lldb/tree/rust); then update LLVM, rustc, lldb, and gdb in sync to add support for missing features.

I'm interested in bug reports and other constructive feedback.
