Most Fortune 500 companies were founded by white men -> Most CEOs of Fortune 500 companies are white men.

Is that problematic?

Tax system already penalizes those who are producing wealth in order to subsidize those who are consuming it.
Good marketing speak. They can't cater both formats equally. They'll have to balance Wild which costs resources. If players go for the latest and greatest (Standard) you can forget it with your old cards. Even if you won them in single player (those get removed as well). They won't take Wild too serious because the money's at Standard. So Wild will always be a second class citizen.

It also seriously pisses me off because I spend a good fortune on cards when Hearthstone came out and I didn't expect them to go the MtG route. Boy, was I wrong. Many of them are worthless now.
The facial recognition camera they use is an ID checking machine. They're basically used to prevent liability for underage drinkers, and to keep track of banned patrons.

They're not actively scanning your face in the club, and I question how good the facial recognition actually is.

Regardless, it's a private establishment, you don't have to go there and get your face scanned if you don't want to. You do have legal recourse, you can choose not to patronise that establishment.

Yes, let's wait until after the holidays so at least 1 month has passed before we publicize the breach, that will surely get the consumers to understand where we're coming from.

Banks and large investors need to offload billions of dollars worth of assets. Orders of magnitude more than what the average amateur will generally be working with.

If an amateur can actually guess when the downturn starts (a really big if), they should not have much of a problem exiting.
Even if a large investor can identify the downturn, if they try to exit quickly, they will probably just exacerbate the problem, without even being able to get all the way out themselves
If they actually redesigned and rebuilt it evety 6 months, that would be a reasonable approach. Often they just want to build more stuff on top of what they already have, however.
I think it's an honest comment about the "Halo-effect" the YC stamp can have on investors.

One useful counterfactual is thinking about what our comments would be if Sam said "more YC company should raise money immediately after the program". I think it would be very hard to defend that every (most?) startup is ready for such a commitment at that very specific moment in time.
So, in your world, there are:

* uppity liberals and fringe left-wing protestors
* "the rest of us"

Interesting. Lots of people on both sides of the aisle admit that there are uppity conservatives and fringe right-wing protestors, but you neglected to mention them.

Do you feel that you're "in the middle" and not a conservative?
I had to do this for a homework assignment about 10 years ago!

mostly for speculation. Nobody buys anything with bitcoin anymore - takes too long and fees are too high.
No, it becomes tax evasion if you do this and then fail to pay the applicable tax on it.

In the same way, it's not tax evasion to have a successful business, say, making a million dollars selling shoes, even though there are limits on how much money you can make selling shoes before you have to pay tax on it. It is tax evasion if you make a million dollars of taxable income and only pay enough tax for half a million.

Do you have a specific jurisdiction in mind where this transfer would be tax evasion?
that would sound crazy even on April 1st
That seems like a pretty dodgy metric. Lots of successful construction projects used asbestos, but it is still widely considered a mistake.
>how much should we, as a collective, try to set things up to save people from themselves?

people in this case often means minors, because the extreme gamification of gambling, often attached to other videogames, tends to target very young audiences. Hell, even none gambling games explicitly reward this carrot and stick behaviour.

This isn't an issue of individual autonomy, it's one of animal conditioning. Companies use their data, their feedback and the basic things we know about human psychology to groom themselves customers with loose pockets. There's no autonomy involved in any of this.

If you want to have people grow up to be free and autonomous citizens, you better reign those businesses in
Sure, but there's no legal requirement for them to notify me that such behavior is occurring. And in the case of this article, it's not exactly something you have the option not to participate in. I guess my point is that is should be be seen an an acceptable or reasonable or non-invasive thing.

I don't think it works that way. If you add logic that says:

"here's group A, who we really want to target, and here's group B, the protected class we want to exclude. throw 10% of all impressions at group B so we're not violating federal law."

Then I think you may still be breaking the law. Because you're explicitly favoring one group over another. Whether the ratio is 100%/0% or 90%/10% probably doesn't affect the underlying legal problem.

> Why ruin it

At some point many years ago society latched on to the idea that "equal opportunity employment" was a civil right worth protecting with federal law. One of the major draws of facebook, if you happen to be an employer not wholly committed to this idea, seems to be that you kind of have a way to effectively bypass it. There are people who would equate "ruining facebook" in this scenario with "protecting fundamental civil rights," which is more important than creating a favorable environment for recruiters.

That's more or less the argument I think.
It's not obvious (and IMO somewhat doubtful) that it was the technical choices of the founders that made them successful. Their choices could well have been bad, just not bad enough to make their business fail.
Wasn’t most of SV’s most important growth during a time when housing, talent, and funding were plentiful?

Each generation of companies has come from dream teams from the previous. Space race R&D contracts and AT&T engineers begat HP, which begat Apple, Oracle, and Intel, then Sun Microsystems and the dot-coms, then Google and Apple 2.0, now the current crop of companies. SV housing being expensive has only been true for the last 20 years, and has only been utterly unaffordable for the last three.

A fictionalized Hillary Clinton?

That's... quite a leap. You could easily argue Robin Wright plays a fictionalized Hillary Clinton on "House of Cards."

Personally, I think that the free market that the conservatives love to salivate about is making this happen. It cracks me up to imagine Hollywood producers saying "Well, I COULD make more money by making a super-conservative show but I just NEED to get my liberal views out there in the American brain!" Nope. They know that conservatives are going to stroke it to Duck Dynasty and that's about it.
Surely designers at a tech company (I guess) are knowledgeable of macro tech trends, so they've known cryptocurrencies for a while, but weren't interested in discussing it publicly?
I'm not sure you ticked someone off who reported you vs. tripped an automated check on FB's end that looks at new accounts that use old account identities, and locks them as suspicious (in case they were hacked, or someone trying to steal someone's identity) which is why they request the additional authentication via photo...
The only thing I can think of is the timing of this announcement is perfect if you don't want any attention drawn to it.

Can you please give me a list of recent -- or ANY -- Hollywood films that are explicitly designed to disparage the military? That is a BOLD claim and I'd love to learn more.
This is a really neat and good article! I did a talk in Sweden the other month about how to build a distributed database, hopefully it may also be fun/useful/informative for others: https://youtu.be/5fCPRY-9hkc (it uses CRDTs instead, so is a counter-part that isn't totally ordered and isn't append-only).

I like the OP article though, cause I learned about NATS streaming, which I hadn't heard of before - just Kafka. Will have to check it out.

It's more of a full-time project until it succeeds or fails. If it takes off then I'd love to build SEO recommendations and Digital Marketing tools into it. These are 2 industries in the content world that really need to be commoditised.

As a side-project to Pollygot, I'd love to do an RSS reader app where you can view discussions from both HN and Reddit within the same app. If this one takes off, then I'd love to do a Flattr/Brave type model of micropayments within the app

Tournaments or a huge Twitch scene don't make it legit or not. They tell us something about a game's size or impact.

Small (indie) games can be loads of fun. I had more fun with a simple game like Airmash [1] than I ever had in WoW because that game is fair, and you need skill. You can't grind towards an advantage. If you did, you can lose it very quickly. Evens playing field.

Blizzard games, with the exception of Starcraft II, are made for carebears with too much time who want to feel good beating players who put less time in the game not by becoming better (as games used to work) but by getting better gear/equipment/cards/characters. A dog eat dog world, essentially. I've learned and adapted to find that evil.

Having separated, convenient pathways for every mode of transportation sounds like a nice utopia, but we struggle to build that kind of infrastructure today.

Until that utopia exists, bikes have to ride somewhere, and that's the road. Sidewalks are (typically) far more dangerous for cyclists due to short sightlines out of driveways and alleys. And driverless cars need to be able to recognize cyclists anyway.

> 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)

I agree that bicycles probably shouldn't ride in traffic on the freeways, although often they are allowed to ride on the shoulder of freeways today (at least in rural areas).
>We have no idea how far cryptocurrencies will run. There will be corrections along the way, but if it actually is a major bubble it might very well run up to $10tn in market cap before we see a major correction.

Come on man... That number is straight from your ass.

>I don't disagree with that, but by that definition, no investor should be taking any above average risk. I think being aggressive with a few percentage points of your portfolio on "long shots" or high risk stuff is not necessarily bad.

Not necessarily, it's more about minimizing timing risk. If you think Bitcoin will continue to run up in some sort of Keynesian-Beauty-Contest-Unpoppable bubble and/or is the new gold or what have you then yeah as a long term investment, cool. Most people don't think that though.

>But I agree with the options example. Just being OK with risking a part of your portfolio doesn't mean being stupid about it. You want to make sure that the upside is sufficient and the true downside isn't 0. Which is why I would say crypto currently seems like a better investment than angel investing or buying options. You are probably putting 50% of your capital at risk, for a potential 5 to 10x return.

None of these numbers come from anywhere though. The real answer is that with crypto you're putting ??% of your capital at risk for a potential ? to ?x return. There's no numbers to pin on anything, it's completely baseless. It's like a currency in that respect, it's only worth what people think it is with no underlying fundamental. You can't quantify anything about it because it's based on the psychology of individual investors and the sociology of investing groups. If some guy in Barron's wrote a really good and well researched article about how bitcoin is bad because it can't scale and you really need one of the scaling coins and you should get out now because BTC valuation is only based on there being a greater fool after you and so on the thing and if some guy on reddit wrote the same thing you don't think the price would dip? Of course, BTC is a meme, it only works because people believe in it. So how much do you want to bet on other people buying into it?

In this case, though, they will be acting only as market makers, i.e. just brokering sales and purchases, not actually taking positions themselves (for the most part), meaning that whether they believe in it or not only matters in their analyst recommendations, which are completely separate from the trading desk anyway.
IMO OTC pain meds are much more effective for pain and fever than people give them credit for. On opiods you feel messed up and it's clear that you took the medicine.

Tylenol and ibuprofen are very transparent. There's no obvious effects to remind you that you're on it. Yet multiple scientific studies have shown that the two in combination are just as effective for relieving some kinds of pain as Vicodin.

I can't count the number of times I took Tylenol and 800 of ibuprofen then told everyone at work I was feeling 'better', only to train wreck at the end of the day and feel just as bad as I did that morning
Lots of articles make this mistake -- they use the distribution of Bitcoin in wallets to determine the wealth distribution. This is extremely flawed not only because many miners hold their coins over multiple wallets (e.g. Satoshi) but moreso because exchange wallets are counted as single individuals.

Most of the institutional 'slow money' like endowments and pension funds will never touch cryptocurrencies, no matter how they are structured. They can't even take positions on FIAT currencies, or even bonds below AA rating. No way are they ever touching cryptos.
Fiat currencies, OK. I could maybe see that. But also gold? And petroleum? And real estate? And every other asset class on the planet?

No. Crypto's a bubble. This isn't fiat currencies sliding.
Agree 100% with the functional points. One additional responsibility that arises from time to time is to handle disturbances during performances. Having someone able to speak eloquently to the audience in such circumstances (a/v issues, noisy individuals, etc) can be the difference between an otherwise great performance and a very awkward musical experience.
Thank you, exactly this.
Interesting Comment by Bank of America's CEO Brian Moynihan

Can you explain? I don't see it as any more invasive than taking a photo of a person.
I work at Massive (The now Ubisoft owned studio that developed world in conflict) and everyone is super happy to have this work available to everyone. It was sad when we had to shut the systems down before we shipped The Division. They were not well supported to be fair but I am proud of precedent Ubisoft is setting (or at least allowing) in open sourcing old game components (or; current systems like sharpmake)

Just dont assume much of _this_ is relevant now. I recognise names but there is nothing in Massive developed today that looks like this. :/
Ah, I stand corrected. NTSB has already stated that the speed was 80 MPH as a confirmed fact.
Nobody said it's not possible to do it on the JVM. It's also possible to do it in C.

It's totally different. There is no unified solution. Just about every library is blocking the thread and you have to code around that. And the solutions don't interop. And they can be atrocious abstractions: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/util/concurre...

I work with Netty professionally and I would not call that a pleasant experience.

Async programming in Node has really good ergonomics that are hard to find elsewhere. For example, compare Promise.map(..., { concurrency: N }) to the Go solution.

Maybe some can, but others just wear it on their sleeve out of either lack of self awareness or lack of care. I've interviewed 200+ people in my tenure at amazon and the company I currently work for and its shocking the number of people who can't even be bothered to put on a polite act for 4 hours.
Well I wouldn't be thrilled on losing my life-savings, no matter what age.

That is an excuse, not a line of reasoning. The fact that taxes are used for some good things is a really shitty excuse for the misery and slavery that empire casts upon the world.

Furthermore, I have every confidence in people to care for each other as brothers and sisters in the absence of the state. The internet will not tolerate the bombs and the fake money, but it will facilitate health care and, as you say, "much more."
Anybody that has that kind of gain in the last few years from Bitcoin et al., would be nuts to not be cashing some of it out. More and more headlines by the day are sounding like a rehash of the dotcom bubble type insanity that occurred right before the crash. The lifestyle difference between $300m and $800m, or $1b and $6b, is not meaningful enough to risk giving 50% or 97% of it all back in a serious crypto crash.

In my opinion, the crypto boom will follow a nearly identical path to most bubbles that involve new, valuable technology. The bust will last for several years, most coins & ICOs will end up entirely worthless, a select few will remain very valuable, and the new technology services (that touch the real economy) built on top of blockchain in the following 10-20 years is where all the lasting wealth & impact will be made (trillions of dollars in new wealth globally, due to productivity improvements from new services/products, affecting most aspects of commerce & economy eventually). Most of the bubble wealth created in the present crypto mania, will never get cashed out (can never be cashed out), it'll die in the fire as with all bubbles. It's the classic over-done splurge that you see with all new technology (try every possible permutation, along with 37 copies of each), it simply means 99% of the coins will vaporize.

A few years back I got the flu, I think I was 16 or 17 at the time, I was healthy and in good shape before I got it.

I was literally bed bound for 3 or 4 days, it was a struggle to make it to the toilet and back to bed. I was sweating so much that my pillow and sheets were soaked. I think the worst part was actually the muscle aches, it wasn't painful but it was constant and unrelenting.

I was quite amazed at how violently it struck me down. There aren't many common diseases these days that will actually strike someone down in a developed country.

In retrospect it may have been a good idea to go to the doctor, especially after reading this article. Instead my parents left me at home to sleep it out and drink lots of lemon and honey, which is actually a completely ineffective cure.
It was "overcome" because the reporting had little backbone to begin with. Most of the rest of the world was demanding proof but the MSM did little to make the American public aware of that. Powell, the IC statements, etc. were just part of the theatre, part of the spin.

The bottom line was, the MSM was on board and played a key roll in the WMDs snow job.

The rational is that there are many intranet and local applications that might be accessible on 127.0.0.1, they were not designed or secured to be accessible from the internet.
