While Equifax is a quasi-governmental company that's privately traded; fully private companies that are regulated in the space are required under the umbrella watch of FINRA/SEC regulations. In the past[1], they have not had any problem with levying 7 figure fines against organizations that are outside of data compliance.

Taxing cryptocurrencies will likely push traders who want a greater margin to foreign countries' exchanges; but I see it as a step in the right direction for institutionalizing the practice. I've seen a posts across multiple subreddits where people want to start trading these purely as investment vehicles rather than use the underlying technology. With an influx of ideologies working both with and against one another, a lot of ordinary people can get harmed from the wild-west environment and volatility associated with it.

Of course not, because that's grossly impractical. There are easy ways of dealing with that - You can first work with the assumption that most people are fundamentally good human beings who don't carry hatred or bigotry around in their heart. This is not too much of a stretch. Additionally, you can try and have conversations with those who are wrong in their beliefs. This is not always successful, but it's a reasonable thing to do.

The thing is, to a large degree society and economy do already do this. If you're outed as a sexist, or a racist, you lose your job. We mostly operate under the assumption that people are not those things. We're just currently in the phase where we're defining additional boundaries to what is and is not acceptable in the workplace.

After all, everyone who starts a development job nowadays does several things that are akin to what you're describing: You voluntarily confirm that you will not harass or discriminate, and when you break those rules you get kicked out.
Then how do you explain the successive insanely excessive right wing governments in the US, Canada, Britain, and Australia over the last 30-40 years?

Have you even read Manufacturing Consent by Noam Chomsky?

What do you even mean by conservative? Liberal?

You do realise that liberal and liberalism means keeping the government out of people's lives. The USA is a liberal nation by definition, for example 'The separation of church and state' and your 'right to bare arms, in a well regulated malitia'
Cutting military spending would also hurt the American economy massively. There are over two million soldiers in the military, with an unbelievable number of nonsoldiers building equipment that they use. If we scale back, all of that money injected into our economy would be lost.
People who believe these baseless conspiracy theories about Russia are starting to read like moon-landing deniers.
If a tree is so big it doesn't fit into memory, what are you trying to achieve by swapping it?

How about just working with the original tree the way it is and just traversing it in reverse order, if necessary.

I would probably ask if this is in-place or do we treat the input tree as immutable.
Why didn't you make the Python 3 type checking advisory instead? Like what Facebook did with Flow and Hack, why not make write a product that lets you statically analyze the types and will never itself cause runtime errors, and transition to types that way? What advantage does building this tool have? I understand that the thing I'm describing involves modifying the way Python 3 handles type annotations, but it doesn't seem like more work than building out all of the instrumentation you've done here.
The goal of Macchiato is to provide an idiomatic way to write Clojure apps on top of Node that mimics the way Clojure web stack works on the JVM.
nice. thanks. despite the plainjs appeal in practice i still find that using jquery is faster, easier, and safer.

the parts of it i want are very simple though. i can (and have) written my own replacements, but I don't want to throw my own one-off replacement into the projects I use, so having some kind of community library is much better.

I don't believe this meaningfully affects a top HUNL cash player, who tend to have auto-rebuy set anyways and at least think that they're bankrolled for most games they play. If anything, it might help them a bit by letting them continuously play at the stack size they have the most experience with.
I'm not sure what exactly "Python" has to do with that

Well as he said, a statically typed language is better in that kind of situation because it enables a better class of tooling and the typing system enforces certain style constraints, that enables better quality of code analysis en mass.

Python specifically is very lightweight in this regards with little in the way of naming constraints (vs for instance Ruby having different formatting rules for different types)

So yeah, it’s not “just like any other language” - horses for courses
Well, now you've got to have people covering those integrations with apt, pacman, homebrew, etc. And instead of this work benefiting everyone, it just kind of benefits some people. Not saying that means you ignore the idea, but especially an early stage language is going to prioritise trying to answer questions that improve life for the majority of its users, and things that are most demanded by interested, but for some reason dissuaded potential users.
Pycharm relies on pre-generated annotations as well, they're just built-in - it's not as magically trace-y and infer-y as it might seem at a casual glance.

The same applies for Dynamicland.

For example: I learned how to use the graphics system in Realtalk with a physical booklet that I could have taken home and studied. The booklet had the code printed out on it, as well as hand written annotations from previous readers. The "magical" part was putting the booklet in a space running Realtalk and seeing live examples of the code projected onto each page as I flipped through the book.
The page I linked has a compatibility chart that says Edge 16 has it (no idea if that's a planned release, haven't ever used Edge).
"They are just making markets" are you seriously implying GS and JPM are just making markets :)?
Yes, that one. I stand by my criticism, and I accuse you of the very thing that you are accusing me of. If you want me to go in depth, I will. If anything, I restrained myself in addressing that asinine article.

It opens with:

>"But having been marred by gang violence in recent years, this J’ouvert was markedly different, as The New York Times described. The event, which derives its name from a Creole term for “daybreak,” was heavily staffed by the New York City Police Department.....an overwhelming show of force in response to a comparatively small number of bad actors."

The author conveniently omitted the specifics of that "gang violance" - an aide to Gov. Cuomo was murdered at the event a couple years ago, there have been multiple stabbings, there have been homicides the past two years, and just few days before the festival this year, multiple people were shot and killed:

https://nypost.com/2017/09/04/gunfire-erupts-ahead-of-jouver...

Do tell me, how much violence and killing is acceptable for you before you call for, as the author put it, an "overwhelming show of force"?

And guess what, that police presence did nothing but make the event safer, as per the New York Times:

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/09/04/nyregion/jouvert-brooklyn...

I can go on if you want, but I don't see the point. The article is an absurd framing of the situation, and completely omits the perspective of all the minorities who APPRECIATE the police presence, and who work with the police on a day-to-day basis, serving in community watch groups, and coordinating with and calling the police whenever they see problems. But no, that doesn't fit the narrative, so it's not in there.

This isn't a CA certificate -- it is missing the CA basic constraints as well as missing the "certificate sign" key usage from X509v3, so most TLS libraries will not validate a chain that is signed by this certificate.
I'll take removing two screws to access the internals over having the entire thing fly apart when it's dropped on the ground any day. Do you remember removable batteries and cases from the early Nokia days? Even a minor jolt could interrupt the power supply and freeze the phone, so even if it didn't explode into four pieces, you still had to disassemble it and re-insert the battery.

Solid construction and mechanical fasteners are a feature. Servicing any part of an iPhone is not that hard; lack of serviceability is a myth.

Additionally, batteries are not the most commonly replaced part. So far my SE has had four screens and a lightning connector. I'll do the battery myself when I notice performance degrade, too.

Bitcoin Billionaires May Have Found a Way to Cash Out
> Could someone provide some context around this topic of executive/non-executive chairpersons?

An executive chairman is something of a weird beast; they are both chairman of the board and an executive employee involved in managing the firm (as an employee, they usually report to the CEO, but the CEO is accountable to the board, which the chairman, well, chairs.) The exact division of duties between an executive chairman and the CEO is different in every firm using the arrangement, I would expect.

A non-executive chairman is just the head of the board and not involved in day-to-day executive management of the firm, only oversight of management.
Fantastic contribution back to the community; I look forward to trying it out.

I must say this is the first time I've been disappointed with the quality of discussion on HN. For a community that promotes using the right tool for the job at the time, I would have thought people would be more open to the choices the early engineers made. I'm sure that Instagram are using a variety of tech across their stack.
I do remember those bike paths, I also forgot about the part of the greenway that ran through Downtown according to signs, and apparently the Traveler's building is at the base of part of it (I lived next to that)?
Agreed.

Although HTTP does matter outside web development as well. For example, we need a good gRPC library for Rust.
Great post. I share the same sentiment.

Maybe not right now, but the way things are going I wouldn't be too surprised if it actually ends up happening.
I'm also sure plenty of people in the finance industry see this as a good profit opportunity; They might not find the gold themselves, but they will make plenty of money selling shovels to the people looking to find gold.

Another breach. Credit where credit is due, they haven’t done too badly with the announcement, but there are some key facts that people would like to know that they unfortunately haven’t mentioned.

* They became aware of it Dec 11th – do they have an estimate of when this occurred?

* They mention what types of information has likely been affected, yet for some reason they mention “no payment details have been breached” right at the end of the Q&A? I’d have expected that to be much higher up the announcement.

* Not needed in the general announcement, but knowing how is always a point of interest (that may just be me, being in the business) – third party? SQLi? etc.

* How did they become aware of this? Did they discover this internally? Or did an outsider give them the heads up.

I’d like to think that one day, that last question can be answered by my startup[0], detecting breaches with a high degree of confidence with pseudo/honey users.

New York needs to outlaw bitcoin yesterday or explain to the other 49 states why more financial innovation is in American interests

Bitcoin is dangerous, it makes people act stupid. This entails costs to the societies in which bitcoin users live. These costs are born by everyone in the society, not just the stupid bitcoin owners.

Bitcoin owners should be treated like traitors who are undermining the Federal Reserve and the American economy. They have to be treated like animals, dangerous animals.
I don’t think it’s irrational that programmers would want to work for the firm with the recognizable prestige and among the highest industry-leading compensation.

I could get offers at Jane Street or Two Sigma for more money, doing potentially way more interesting things, but my mom isn’t going to brag to her friends about it.

This is notwithstanding that many people would likely recognize the prestige of those companies within tech and finance circles.
Be careful with binary assessments of whether someone ‘is a dick or is not a dick.’

The linked article draws more differences than similarities as far as I can tell. Max Howell readily admits weakness before pride. He brags outwardly at the end of his message, which was a little distasteful, but it was after he widely incriminated the project he is bragging about. The linked article describes a very different type of person. People are rarely so simple.

There are many depths of info and systems available for concieving/understanding personality types and archetypes. Reply if you’d like some recs.

Agreed; I'm a total believer in bitcoin but the people who are publicly skeptical tend to be the ones who are making the most sense and David Gerard is firmly within that group. This book is a pretty easy weekend read. You won't find in-depth technical analyses but you'll get a lot of funny stories about the crazy times we live in and some good criticisms of the entire space.
Investors are seeing this as a non-event. He's still going to be around, just a much more limited capacity.

No, it presumes marriage is a right. Or rather it presumes that this isn't an area where the government should assert its control over people's personal lives.

That's the thing though, you're calling someone being forced out because they hold a bigoted position 'lynching'. You're equivocating what has historically been an act of racially provoked murder with the removal of a bigot - there's no justice to be found there.

Political opponents ought to (and are, in most cases) barred from effectively participating in the political process when they hold oppressive and bigoted view points.
> It's literally not a complete game unless you buy all of them

I like this model as it removes the risk of you not liking the game and being out $49. If you get bored after the first few levels you're not out the full amount–I'd be willing to try out more games this way.
You don't seem to understand:

"I'm specifically talking about how another person's view would affect me, not how I might change my behavior of them based on their view. Their view does not affect me. Their view might affect how I treat them, and my view might affect how they treat me, but their view does not affect me."

It's no different.
For what ever reason I always assumed this was to prevent the game client from being used with unoffical servers.
> Ashamed that someone else's system doesn't work? I can't help you there. That's some deep psychological issue.

Personally I get angry in those situations... the larger the company, typically the more safeguard crap in place that's supposed to prevent those issues, the more pissed off I get. But that's just me. I get angry when I see evidence of poor/buggy quality in business software the more visible it is.
That's on purpose. Resolution is nothing in VR, reaction time is everything. You only need a very wide field, like 800x200px. This would be luxury VR glasses.

However for other, more non-immersive applications, like AR resolution became more important. Which leads go slower reaction times. Which can lead to sickness and lawsuits.
To be fair, Hearthstone is one of the better value games! It is still a "collectible" card game, from a very reputable company, with a lot of expected longevity -- based on a huge universe. You get to use your cards against other players, etc
They also give you fairly consistent means of getting free cards.

There are so many Gacha style games that are WAY more of a rip off than that. They get you sucked into the game, then the only way to progress is to become a whale. It is awful
>I don't think it's a really bad thing.

Who in their right mind would? Uppity liberals and fringe left-wing protesters affiliated with various left-wing identitarian groups.

The rest of us, rich, poor, middle-class, black, white, whatever, would prefer our neighborhoods to be safe, and not filled with gang violence and drugs.

But this doesn't fit their narrative, so here we are.
On the flip side I enjoy playing Hearthstone and getting a chance to enjoy it for free. In a way it is kind of like shareware back in the day.
I second this book. While Gerard's writing is cynical and definitely biased against cryptocurrency and everything about them, nothing in it is actually wrong.

That being said, if you were looking for something more like a deep dive into the technical side of things, this isn't the right book.
It's so obvious it shouldn't be said, but I've met many who want to dive into blockchain and cryptocurrencies yet haven't read Satoshi's whitepaper.
Can't wait for Matrix to become the defacto tool to connect teams, instead of dropping IRC for Slack, they will drop IRC for Matrix. It makes me sad to see JQuery moving to Slack when I think they would be better off moving to Matrix instead. I hope they at least considered Matrix.

That's not quite correct.

The problem with subprimes was that banks were issuing questionable loans, and then selling them to investors (Without telling them that the loans weren't worth the paper they were printed on.)

This carries a significant reputation risk because they were, quite literally, defrauding their customers.

A crypto trading desk, on the other hand, just lets them buy or sell crypto on a customer's behalf, and charge them a fee for it - much like Coinbase does for retail customers. They won't have any insider knowledge about crypto, and they probably won't even care if BTC goes to $100,000 tomorrow, or to $0. The customer asks the bank to sell them BTC, the bank gives them a quote, and the customer accepts or rejects it. The bank doesn't know if its a good price, nor does it care - and the customer knows that the bank doesn't know, or care.

There's still ways to defraud customers in this arrangement, but there are far fewer incentives to do so... Compared to offloading toxic, shitty mortgages off your books, after having bribed ratings agencies to rate them AAA.

If you really care about crypto, this is a Good Thing (tm). Currently, the counterparty risk with Bitcoin exchanges is through the roof. Some of them allow illegal wash trades, some of them don't follow KYC, some of them go belly-up and steal all your bitcoin and dollars, some of them may be front-running their users, some of them don't allow half their users to withdraw USD, some of them are down for minutes a day... For anyone trading in an extremely volatile environment (Like Bitcoin), this practically screams: "RUN, DON'T WALK AWAY."

The counterparty risk with a Goldman Sachs trading desk is... Much lower.

There's two JS libraries using the term "ristretto", we've all heard of mocha. "espresso" seems to be a disused node.js tooling library, similarly, "flat white" is a disused CMS, "latte" is a failed CoffeeScript competitor. "Americano" seems to be a slightly more used tooling repository.

I guess the less than inspiring names "short black" and "long black" are available? :)
