Age based discrimination has been us for at least decades, and it has been prevalent in all industries. I presume it's now getting more publicity as the baby boomers are entering the discriminated age segment.

It's a more difficult problem than just a few CEO:s in their 30:s wanting to hire cheap labour.

My experience is that mutt is a tool which rewards the learning process with massively improved productivity.

By way of contrast, people who use Outlook or Thunderbird feel comfortable in ten minutes, but they never make much progress.

If you deal with a lot of email, using the right tools is important. If email is not your primary communications method, there's no point in putting in the time to learn more advanced tools.
To check the data authenticity it's connecting to a node server for the data synchronisation, the data encryption happens on the client side. Client side nodes are on IOTAs roadmap as it's a technical challenge to synchronise with the network by just storing a small chunk of it.
An ad space that will be shown to people in a specific age range isn't and shouldn't be illegal. A few specific classes of ads (e.g. for jobs or housing) are illegal to run in such an ad space, but I would expect the vast majority of ads are legal to run in such an ad space. As such I'd take the view that what Facebook is selling is legal, and if someone is running an ad that is regulated to a higher standard than normal ads then it's on that person to ensure their ad complies with those higher standards.

Imagine a drug advert that didn't properly list the drug's side effects. To my mind that would be the advertising company's responsibility, not the TV station or billboard owner's.

One problem is that if you don't live at the same longitude as where this shot is simulated, the colours are literally going to look wrong, giving you an overall feeling of "there's something off about this and I don't know what".

That i get heavy downvoted here just proof that i hit a nerve. Job done. I'm happy with that.

People seem to just see the FUD Articles and think right away "Oh yea, MIT, must be true", without even thinking about checking the sources.

If the old members here don't want to read the other side, okay, but newcomers should not get dragged in this vortex of misinformations.

Seriously people, read all information and you will see very fast that 99% of all posted Anti-IOTA articles are biased nonsense.
I know this will get down votes (but I'm generally a sarcastic guy so please take this in that spirit): if half are biased and half are morons what camp do you fall in? :)
ad 1. Citation needed

ad 2. From the article: "Let’s begin with the common sense, IOTA’s Tangle is a significant leap forward from blockchain". Why do you believe this subjective superlative when the protocol is still in beta and heavily contested? It's like saying: "Fusion reactors are a significant leap foward", while no production ready fusion reactors exist. You cannot make this claim unless you're willing to attest to the correctness and production-readiness. This seems common sense to me.

ad 2: What is this document? "The Transparency Compendium", "Transparency Report", "Blog post"? All of them are mentioned, but there is no mention whether this is an official statement, or just a sputter of random thoughts by the author. It seems official, but isn't.

ad 2: No mention of CyberCrypt in that article. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Also, Occam's Razor. That's what I like about the original bitcoin protocol, it's as simple as necessary, but not simpler.

ad 3: It doesn't need to be pretty or user friendly. The complaints are about people losing their IOTA's and all kind of other complaints. Please address these complaints head-on, instead of just making blanket remarks about user-friendliness.
What are good alternatives to nodejs that are better suited for this kind of architecture?
It would be ideal on trinary hardware, but it can work with a trinary emulator for now. I expect to see a Trinary chip very soon. CfB, one of the core devs of IOTA, founder of NXT and inventor of PoS has a team that has been working on Jinn (trinary cpu's) for the last 6 years.
I hope you'll forgive me but your post shows a lot of ignorance. I live in Copenhagen, I cycle every day and drive nearly every week. Berlin is hell and I dread driving and cycling there every single time I visit. I swear half the cyclists there would lose their driver's licenses when cycling here, the sheet unpredictability and complete disregard for driving rules (the same that cars follow, I swear they behave like they don't apply to them) are incredibly dangerous.

> Ah yes, and lightning will certainly hit the same person again and again.

Not a person but a tall grounded metal rod in the middle of nowhere that was designed and built to have physical qualities to attract lightnings. It works for that purpose as was demonstrated multiple times already.

Analogies, aren't they fun?
The reason for presence of fanboys in IOTA's case seems almost entirely a reaction to deliberate misinformation being spread about IOTA.

In 24 hours, the price of IOTA tanked from a high of $5.50 to a low of around $3, beginning just after a vitriolic tweet brought up an old security vulnerability in the Tangle network that was discovered by an MIT lab. Of course, the tweet conveniently failed to mention that the vulnerability had since been removed and confirmed as such by the same lab.

Doesn't sound great if a coroutine library has resorted to passing messages across sockets. I was expecting something that implemented multiple stacks and some abstraction of some synchronization.

OK. It's illegal. So what?

What's going to happen to the companies that clearly engage in it?

My guess is nothing and for some reason they think doing this is valuable.

The end result is that they'll keep on doing it until it hurts them in any way.
>> If you are a large company and have robust processes in place, you don't need smart people with tons of experience. Such people are expensive.

That was the fallacy put forth in the CMM (Capability Maturity Model) right on page 1 or 2. The notion that process could eliminate the need to rely on experts. There are a couple problems with that. Number one is that there is no process that can solve all problems or write all code. Number two is that those processes are probably not lower cost - they rely on a larger group of people. All you really get from such things is better consistency, and that is often what large companies are looking for. I would argue that having some experts in such places is extremely beneficial at times. I've benefited from them and I've been one in my niche. Without pockets of expertise, a vast group of mediocre people will drift at times.

Just a quick shoutout to Blendle (https://blendle.com/). They're basically a wallet for top quality publications, which you pay on an article basis instead of paying a subscription (from your list, The Economist is there)

Articles cost around 0.2$ to 0.5$ each, which is pretty fair for medium-long pieces (they provide a time estimate for each article before you pay).
[sincere question] aren't cryptocurrencies creating new money supply, though? I often hear "market cap raised by X billions", but it's not just that fiat billions are used to buy bitcoins, it's also that existing bitcoins are gaining value against fiat. Am I making any sense?
The vote was very harsh, but parent was laying out some kind of opposite to the quote, not misquoting
Jenkins is an utter utter arse, don't get me wrong. I would gladly pay for circleCI for 90% of usecases. We have > 90 jenkins masters here (don't ask) all in various states of rot. all of them are unceasingly tedious.

However, for getting a script to run on a certain bunch of nodes, at a certain time for given conditions, its pretty simple. (Unless you have a fetish for the myriad of unstable jenkins plugins)

K8s however isn't simple for that usecase. If I had to read the code and then push changes _before_ it worked for my usecase I'd have dropped it like a bag of sick.

However I do take your point that if no one pushes upstream then its not very fun at all.
Unions are far more widespread and far stronger in Europe than they are anywhere in the US. By your logic, then, transit maintenance in Europe should cost unbelievable amounts of money.

(there are plenty of well-documented reasons why NYC comes up short on money for its transit system, and "unions are the devil" is an insufficient explanation for them)
Cameras won't catch anything. Typical rape accusations involve places that are not covered or situations that would be complex to evaluate even given full footage.

Because like any design pattern microservices should be used to address a specific problem. Martin Fowler describes that particular design pattern here in great detail: https://martinfowler.com/articles/microservices.html

Microservices however unfortunately have become a fashionable cure-all that's applied indiscriminately to software projects of all sizes, ages and purposes. Hardly anyone seems to be asking anymore why they're actually using microservices. Everyone uses them because everyone else does.

Microservices always incur overhead both in terms of engineering and network latency as well as maintenance / administration. If you have more than 1 microservice you need infrastructure for orchestrating and monitoring these services.

For all that to be worth it you need to have pretty solid arguments for using microservices in the first place. For a new project I'd usually advise against using microservices right from the start. Doing so is often rooted in the same kind of fallacy that has people worry about Facebook-scale scalability before they even have their first user.

If you start having problems that can be solved with microservices then good for you! This means your software is successful and has grown so much in terms of features and responsibilities it's starting to become intractable with standard approaches.

This is precisely why Martin Fowler argues for starting with a monolith first: https://martinfowler.com/bliki/MonolithFirst.html

A traditional monolith gives you the opportunity to learn about the problem domain first without having to worry about implementation details such as microservices.
A good example of this issue would be the escalators in BART. BART installed these shitty escalators 30 years ago that don’t work well outside and are prone to breaking down, plus homeless defecate on them... Instead of replacing the escalators that constantly break (or installing a bathroom... they’ve all been closed since 9/11...) they just keep fixing the escalators over and over and over again. It’s a penny wise, pound foolish mentality. We refuse to make long term investments in our infrastructure and just use bandaid solutions that end up costing much more.

Oh and the person in charge of selecting the escalators for BART was eventually hired by the escalator company. It’s a perfect example of everything wrong with public goods in America.
I encourage you to submit counterexamples. I'm about to get on a plane, though, I'll have to present my counterargument in a few hours.
You're changing the contents of the article though; it's about "communities", not software products. It's much easier to separate code from persons; strip off the committer name / email and you're left with code which rarely contains anything behavioural besides maybe inappropriate jokes / puns which are usually easily fixed. Not so with communities, which are much more about people and interactions.
It’s the trailer. Too much extra light on the rear surface to make it visible. Reproducing that shot with a camera would not produce such vivid clarity on that surface.
>> If that older Unix or C++ programmer doesn't have a strong bias against Javascript, functional programming, new es6/es7 concepts, and web appliactions in general, then sure. I see many of these types of people even on HN with biases though.

You might want to check your own bias in favor of functional programming. To the more seasoned programmers this is just the latest fad. That's not to say there isn't value in it, but if you're making hiring decisions around it you've probably got your head in the clouds.
Yup. Watch_Dogs-style hacking of CCTV cameras? As the other story on HN's frontpage today will tell you (and so will any experience with Shodan), it's totally doable in theory - the only practical reason this doesn't happen is that every camera is broken in a different way, and as a protagonist, to hack them in a field-actionable way, you'd have to have a hundred people in your tech support staff, who manually engage appropriate exploits based on your requests.
There is no such thing as Language X ABI, rather OS ABI or compiler ABIs.

There is no major C++ compiler on a major OS that provides a stable ABI, so that's what people mean when they say there's no stable C++ ABI.

COM is independent of the Microsoft C++ compiler. It's defined on top of the platform's C ABI. (There's a COM implementation on Mac, for example.)

On Windows, COM uses the stdcall calling convention. There's no trace of C++ there.
Cyclists in Netherlands are skilled, but they don't follow any of the rules. Red lights just indicate the one moment when cars going cross-ways have priority.

However, it's still predictable - the biker will always go first and take any space left on the sides and will often go the wrong way or on the sidewalk.

Global Skyscraper Construction Reaches an All-Time High
I don't know yet. For me "side project" means significantly less planning. My method is to listen to people around me, "I wish I had a tool that could do x."

If it's simple enough, I don't bother Googling for a solution, I build it for them. Exactly as they request. Nothing more, nothing less.
Not really "never". I get where you're coming from, but sometimes, the behaviour outside the community does have consequences for the community; at least in those circumstances, it is appropriate - imperative, even - for the community to react and weigh in on the consequences. And you can easily imagine other cases, too (e.g. where behaviour outside community raises reasonable suspicions about behaviour inside the community - there should at least be the consequence of "increased oversight")
Well, no, because they cost money. Every $1 spent on buying and maintaining useless cameras is $1 not spent on actual policing.

This is a question worth discussing. But I'm not sure I like the implicit assumption that a "community" is a discrete entity entirely divorced from all other such entities. If you're contemplating a person's activities outside a particular social group, you aren't asking "does this affect my social group?", but rather "what impact does this have on society at large?" I can't see that it's controversial to suggest that someone may act in one context in a way that should have consequences for their activities in another context - we quite happily accept, for instance, that a violent drunk ought not to be permitted to teach children, even if they have never been drunkenly violent towards children. I don't see that a software development project should be any different from any other subset of human society in this respect.

A call option also means someones else took the other side of this trade. Who sold $1 million dollars worth of December 2018 Bitcoin $50K call options?

Also there's a back of the envelope implied volatility for Bitcoin here: on a $3k call option premium 12 months out (so breakeven on this "bet" is actually $53,000) Bitcoin implied volatility of around 120%? Not that equity option pricing model theories apply to Bitcoin, or even work as expected on equities for that matter, but it's interesting to see an implied volatility number regardless. Looks like Delta less than 10. With Futures already 3 months out at $17,000 it would seem like whoever sold this call option for $1 million could hedge (not perfectly hedge) the trade for less than $1 million. Oddly enough, both the buyer and the seller could end up profiting on this option trade.

I agree this article is very bad, it feels like a paid PR article advertising for the trading company not actual news.
It's not about being blind to criticism, it's about lies being told about a cool new technology in a thread about a cool project build on top of it. This complete comment thread has been taken over by a discussion about IOTA, about parts of IOTA that are not very relevant to this project, and the authors comments of the project who's here as well get snowed under due to this.
If I understood the article correctly, the PR company is in the United States and the Kickstarted company is in another country. If they tried to bring a suit in their country, the court might not have jurisdiction. Even if they did say they had jurisdiction, the likelihood of them being able to compel US citizens to suffer penalties levied by a court in another country is extremely slim. So most likely, they would need to hire a lawyer in the US to bring the suit in a US court. That requires finding a lawyer who is familiar with the intracacies of international contract law, the details involved in establishing jurisdiction, etc, and they would need to travel to the US many times (possibly very many if the opposition thinks they can drag the case out and make it too burdensome for the plaintiff to continue) for various hearings.

Then there's the issue of finding a lawyer who won't start off by asking 'and what is a kickstarter?' which is harder than you might expect. Also, I just thought, Kickstarter might have some kind of standing in this which might also require the case to occur in a US court. Not sure about that.
I think one of the reasons is because fluid intelligence declines as people get older - it's maybe an unpopular and uncomfortable, but still, a scientific fact proven by many psychological studies.

Is it possible to rationally manipulate and speculate using bitcoin or do you have to be
a believer?

Two year Bitcoin volume when measured in BTC seems relatively stable while the price goes up and up and new speculators come in. As long as the price goes up the same pace as demand, there is no upper limit to the price level that steady supply of bitcoin can support.

At the same time the market gets thinner and thinner relative to the bitcoin wealth. At some point the social mania around bitcoin peaks and speculators want to liquidate more than there is buyers.

>The higher it goes the less the people invested in it need to sell at all, because they don't have anything better to do with the money.

But you could say the same thing about gold. I don't have a fantastic historical understanding, but I thought that the price of gold tends to spike as there are issues with fiat currency (war, hyperinflation, and so forth).

On this front there are vast differences: investors in gold and investors in bitcoin are just hugely different groups of people. Switzerland doesn't have a bitcoin reserve the way it has a gold reserve, nor does any other state.

so the comparison is kind of premature on my part, still, if we want to have a price target we need to base it on something.
