Services provided so far in the past that need to be reminded are at best irrelevant and it can actually hurt you to bring them up.

I'm not saying that it is nice, only that humans behave individually and (even more collectively) according to this.

Ask HN: Will dominance in a particular ephemeral activity always be short-lived?
I often wonder if businesses based entirely on ephemeral activities (e.g. Software, Internet advertising, social media platforms, etc) will ever have a solid footing.
If a transit system is paid for or subsidized by the state then the transit system workers cannot be covered by the union. Otherwise, there's this fantastic game a union can play "We take X% of your revenue for our wages. No negotiation" and there's nothing that the other side can do.
If you tell a blind person, he should use the color red more when dressing, it might be a good advise, but for the blind person there is no logical reason to choose red over green.

What I'm saying is that most people are blind when it comes to skill, because they never make it over the hurdle once. But because most people don't have any skill, it is general consensus in our society to declare skills based on interest rather than the ability to solve hard problems or win competitions. I mean if one person is unable to judge if another person is good at solving merge conflicts, how could he criticize that person declaring himself as Git Expert Of The Team. And then again of course most people feel it is inappropriate to tell other people they are unskilled, so posts like this one get hated a lot on. But actually it's just calling out the facts. Sky is blue, grass is green, most people are too unskilled to even recognize what would enhance skills.
That doesn’t help. The MTA’s problem is decidedly not money. The MTA’s spending on subway is about double per passenger as Transport for London spends on the underground.[1] Having a ring fenced budget wouldn’t do any good as it gets eaten away by inefficiency and waste.

What the MTA needs to do is:

1) Disband the union

2) Cut service overnight to increase maintenance times

3) Double fares (Tube fares are 15-100% higher depending on distance; using exchange rates from a few years ago, minimum Tube fare was like $5 versus $2.75 for the NY subway)

>- Vendor lock-in: although I try to minimise this and have a clear picture of where the lock-in lies, it is very much present.

I feel like this is the most overstated draw back in cloud computing by far. I don't know how most people write their code but me and most people I've ever worked with have a natural tendency to seperate out abstractions to protect you from "likely to change" parts of your application. In fact, if you use Spring boot in Java it already abstracts away a lot of the differences for various cloud scenarios.

Further, in the worst case you have to rewrite some stuff. Before you skip a solution for fear of vendor-lock-in you should attempt a cost analysis: how much will you save on these platform-specific advantages and how does that offset your cost of rewriting when some other solution becomes more desiable? How long will it take to reach break even and how does that time compare to how often software is just rewritten or abandoned in your organization anyway?
No, it is not. Plenty of examples around the world, and it generally works better. Copenhagen and Hong-Kong come to mind.
A common refrain from developers I hear is, "They can't inject SQL...the database is read-only."

Unfortunately, SQL Injection is a misnomer.

Do you mean 10lbs of fat? If that's the case, watch your diet, 10lbs in 12 weeks you are eating something averaging 370kcal above your needs per day, with biking (and assuming you are a man and don't do any other kind of workout) it means you are eating between 3300-3800kcal/day, that's a lot if you don't do hours of sports or heavy weightlifting.

> I think it's more likely iOS apps will run in a sandboxed emulator on the Mac. Xcode already does this, and it would trivial to build and bundle an emulated app for MacOS with the standard iOS build.

I would bet a large pile of money against that happening. Apple has been pretty adamant that iOS is for the touch interface and macOS is for the mouse/trackpad. They know an iOS UI doesn’t work well on a Mac.

If they wanted to do Microsoft style “universal apps” they would have done it years ago.
Not sure what you're on about.

Dropbox innovated online storage, sure (my ISP already provided telent & SSH access in 90s and I could mount my homedir with SSHFS and WebDAV but sure, relatively small ISP in small country who didn't popularize it just like tons of other efforts did not). Dropbox caught the momentum. Who's to applaud for that?

Plus, first of all in order for the masses to use it securely it needs some kind of encryption for its storage. Other than that it was just a good UI for tools already in existence. WebDAV, SSHFS, rsync, or Coda (which you can see mentioned and ignored multiple times throughout the thread). For the encrypted content part, one could use GPG, but many other solutions exist as well. Now, if I was the NSA back in 2006, I'd invest in Dropbox via a proxy. Gives me free data to plow through which people otherwise store locally. And its data they want to save. Hah, I'll save it too! I knew about those risks before, so I wasn't raving about "the cloud" back in the days. Heck, I'm still skeptical.

What a lot of innovation has in common is that it succeeded to market itself. No, that's not something I have a lot of respect for indeed because I don't have a whole lot with things like marketing, sales, and popularity. Sue me. I'd like to look at the technical side of things and peek at the less popular gems (though on say Kickstarter I'm wary as well).

Parallel to that, it is often some kind of GUI which gets popular while it uses techniques from more abstract developments: libraries, smaller software research projects which got bought, CLI.

Which important features did ABP innovate? Seeing what it added to original adblock is lackluster. And even that original adblock isn't the first browser-based adblocker.

We're also talking about a time where the browser was the way to read the WWW and there wasn't a way to embed the browser in "an app" (an app? what?). Well, thinking a bit more about it, it was there (MSHTML for example). But it wasn't high quality. And you could block those ads via /etc/hosts

> Yes, but uBlock probably wouldn't exist if ABP had not established the market and highlighted the need for ad blocking extensions.

You mistakenly neglect to take into account that if ABP didn't exist, adblock wouldn't have been continued (ie. forked) by someone else. Parallel to that, if Linux didn't exist, the BSD lawsuit would've set that source code free, and it would've caught on from there. Its easy to say, in hindsight, "well that worked out well" but its equally easy to say "well if that didn't work out alternatively something else could've worked out". Without an in depth analysis on why that was so unique (we are talking about inventions then and patents more likely I am not going to buy your argument, sorry.

I'd say that cycling is an ideal way of burning fat. With a bit of training you can easily spend a whole day on a bike without risk of overuse injuries.

Yes, people claim 'all CS degrees teach the same stuff and a degree from any place is the same' and I think they're crazy. Look at what a top university actually teaches, and then look at a mid-tier university and it's not even remotely the same league at all.

I think some people genuinely think there's some kind of national or even internationally agreed syllabus.

Someone was trying to tell me a first from Luton was the same as a first from Cambridge because they were the same degree course and the same grade. They're mad.
No need. The current tax bill exposed the positions of American limo liberals quite well - no one wants their "but i already pay taxes in New York so of course I deduct them from my federal tax liability" to go away.
Gollum was definitely a benchmark, maybe even still. Then there's Avatar and Cesar from the Apes movies. But we've yet to get close with actual humans. What started with Final Fantasy we still have that "uncanny valley" in things like Tron and Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

Side note: I can't find an article but I believe Gollum was one of the first times deaf movie-goers could actually read a digital actor's lips.

I assume, though, that Facebook prohibits other forms of illegal advertising: for instance, advertising of prostitution services in most locations; advertising of the sale of heroin or methamphetamine; advertising of the services of hit men.
We've already seen various things in that direction: characters performing plays (e.g. Monsterpiece Theater), one show doing a pastiche of another (e.g. the Death Note episode of Absolutely Lovely Children), fictional bands continuing outside the show they came from (EARPHONES or egoist) or bands that are simultaneously fictional and real (e.g. the one in Love Live), free-floating virtual characters being pushed as "celebrities" outside a particular show (e.g. Kizuna Ai). Look at e.g. the Hatsune Miku cover of the Virtual Insanity music video.

Black Rock Shooter is arguably already an example of what you described: a character "played" by Hatsune Miku. (Similarly subsequent efforts like Mekakucity Actors).

Yes, a quantum computer with a few hundred error-corrected qubits (many more before error correction) would clean out all addresses with exposed public keys, by solving Elliptic Curve Discrete Log to recover the private key.

This includes many old addresses that didn't hash the public key, any re-used addresses, and, using replace by fee, even all new addresses in the time frame between broadcasting a spend transaction and that transaction being included in a block (which can currently take many hours).

But a lot of mass transit infrastructure in Europe is just as bad, if not worse. Save a few 'showpiece' systems.

Not that hard to do: sample the sound using multiple microphones, discard anything after the first thing you get (usually they're misleading reflections), then measure the delay to build a map of vectors pointing to the object.
The military already have devices using that principle to locate the sound source of a weapon firing to send it a bomb. The RF variant is also employed in air traffic control and to detect pirate radio transmissions and uses arrays of omnidirectional antennas just like this one:

How Drones Are Transforming the Real Estate Industry
There are a lot of people who ride at night -- not just party goers, but also people with late night jobs. The MTA does change the service pattern at night and there are often closures/reroutes for maintenance.

Also note that the MTA's troubles have nothing to do with running the system 24/7. The subway has run 24/7 for a century, and for most of that century maintenance was not a problem. What happened recently was that the state started cutting the MTA's subsidy, so maintenance started to slip and the system fell apart -- something which happened in the 1980s, but people have no ability to learn from past mistakes.

What I think you're missing is how easy it is to coast in this field. It certianly sounds like you're a smart capable person with the good fortune to largely work with other smart capable people. That's great; it's not normal. At least coming from the financial sector (which employees huge numbers of people with the title "software developer") there's a pularity of people who stop improving somewhere around year one then coast on office politics and inter-firm job hopping. These are the people I think the new wave of companies/teams are looking to avoid. After 10+ years, your jobs, if you're good, ought to be coming from network references rather than facebook adds anyway.

Experience is necessary but not sufficient for a top quality dev and top quality is neither necessary nor sufficient to make successful software. The cult of experience in other engineering disciplines is the reason those salaries are so low compared to ours (despite the fact that the work, schooling, and certification are orders of magnitude more involved). Let's not bring that to software please.
Classic but true: "never put off till tomorrow what can be done today".
> So it looks like libuv could use libdill, right?

libuv, has the follow (iirc) genealogy :

libevent -> libev -> libuv

like its predecessors (with the exception of libev i think) it has grown to be quite large, but its core is still centered on the concept of an event loop. the event-loop itself is hidden, and 'user' code interacts with it via callback event handlers.

given this context, i still don't quite understand how/where libdill might play a role here ?

fwiw, almost all of these event-processing libraries, supports multiple event loops, and thus an event loop is a first class citizen within the library, and implement functions for creating/destroying/starting/stopping loops. multiple event loops find their uses specifically in the context of multi-threaded servers for example.
But elliptic signature algorithm are, and that's what lets you steal coins.

I find Steele's argument that his staff never knowingly commissioned work that they knew the magazine couldn't pay for to be a total red herring.

It may be true that his staff were in the dark, but he wasn't, and to the extent that he authorized them to commission that work, he permitted them to commission work that he knew the magazine couldn't pay for.

Nautilus might be a first-rate science magazine, but it's only first-rate because it commissioned first-rate writers.

Do you think it will ever be able to attract and retain that caliber of writers now? I certainly don't. Definitely not with Steele at the helm.

EDIT: I looked up NautilusThink's 2015 IRS Form 990 (the latest available on GuideStar) and found an interesting line item. In that year, John Steele was paid $2,408,000 for "consulting fees" for the publication of the magazine. (The previous year he was paid a more modest $134,000.)

The transaction fee always applies, even if you are trading $1 worth of bitcoin. I guess you didn't know that.

With a transaction fee of $40, trading less than $2000 worth of bitcoin at a time gives you a rather high percentage of fees of more than 2%. You couldn't even buy most flights with bitcoin.

Of course, part of the problem is that our subway system is run not by the city but by a state government dominated by car culture types. And heck, even our current mayor gets driven around in a black SUV all day and didn't know when questioned last week that less than half of New York households own cars.
But roads are faring so much better? Or water infrastructure (Flint)? Or electricity infrastructure (PR)?

Our western society seems to find ways of fund investments but when it comes to maintenance there is a void. Why the US is particularly bad at this and what needs to change across the board is the question. The current course is not sustainable.
libmill, the pre-cursor to libdill, was directly inspired by an implementation of nanomsg written in go (called mango I believe). Martin had struggled with the state machine approach he had been using and the coroutine approach of golang was a lot easier to reason about in practice.

libdill was a development on libmill in two main ways: it was more idiomatically C and it supports structured concurrency. The latter is, in my opinion, very interesting. Martin has a blog post on it [0].

BTW I've got all this from following the nanomsg threads and reading Martin's blog. I'm not an active participant, so I may have some details wrong, but I think it's fairly accurate.

Not even PTC. Conductor awareness system would have caught it. Or automated train protection system like used in Europe. (Not related to PTC such as ERTMS) These are dirt cheap and local to the train so there is no problem with deployment. Some use dirt cheap passive electromagnet beacons but are executed inside the train.

US still has these on two lines. For some unfathomable reason the regulators allowed not installing these.
