Nothing I have said comes close to being 10x better because I have not posted any design specs, proposals, or pitches for such a system. I certainly can't beat Google by 10x with some offhanded comments which were not the point of the original post. But some of the misinformation you are spreading about blockchain technologies contributes to the negative sentiment seen around here, and it had to be addressed.
I suggest contact Google's Project Zero. I think those guys would love to help you...
You have a pattern of posting race-baiting comments to Hacker News. That's definitely not what this site is for and if you keep doing it we will ban you, so please stop.

Mid 2017 I started reading more and I ended up reading 30 books. It has been incredibly fulfilling, my head is constantly full of new ideas and I find myself a better person.

I want to continue with this trend and read 50 books and write a review for each of them.

Additionally, as I just moved to Berlin, I want to make new friends here.

The GNU C Programming Tutorial
A very interesting project that aims to get high value from proof of stake is Omise Go

"We're looking to build the thing that will finally change the way money is handled the whole world over for the better, and leave a legacy that can sustain itself through all kinds of social and cultural changes. We're looking at accomplishing the spirit of the original Nakamoto vision of Bitcoin, the original Ripple vision (pre-blockchain Ripplepay), the original Paypal vision."

Cars with 360º mixed IR+flash visible-light cameras could help.

They won't have any evidence value, since the D.A. won't prosecute (police won't even pursue thieves they see). At best, it could have deterrent value for the ignorant.
It's definitely good to be aware of what tricks you have. Sometimes you need to do weird things like treat memory as hostile, see this article about chrome sandboxing: https://lwn.net/Articles/347547/

> So that's what we do: each untrusted thread has a trusted helper thread running in the same process. This certainly presents a fairly hostile environment for the trusted code to run in. For one, it can only trust its CPU registers - all memory must be assumed to be hostile. Since C code will spill to the stack when needed and may pass arguments on the stack, all the code for the trusted thread has to [be] carefully written in assembly.

> The trusted thread can receive requests to make system calls from the untrusted thread over a socket pair, validate the system call number and perform them on its behalf. We can stop the untrusted thread from breaking out by only using CPU registers and by refusing to let the untrusted code manipulate the VM in unsafe ways with mmap, mprotect etc.

(I don't know if that technique is still used)
> They found that the volunteers who regularly ate a high-fat, high-sugar diet were much more likely to crave snack foods even when they weren’t hungry.

> The scientists suggest the high-sugar and fat diet was actually impairing the ability of the brain to block food cravings.

It's a shame they didn't separate high fat from high sugar diets. Fats aren't addictive, nor are they anywhere near as damaging as sugars and carbs in high doses.
Sure but to actually accomplish that would require real AGI, or something very close to it.
I am a tech recruiter and former programmer located in Zurich. Some companies treat applicants like shit nowadays. Especially the "startups" and younger ones. The best company I work with is 30 years on the market and they treat applicants like half-gods. Their interviews are all conversation-based, no homework, nothing, just two calls and then half-a-day onsite.

To some clients, I send the most competent people I can find and still they have to go through three calls and a 4-8 hour "coding task" and only then get maybe invited to an onsite. I have compiled a list of horror stories that I saw in my recruiting career (https://medium.com/@iwaninzurich/why-software-engineers-dont...). Since I wrote this, I collected many other stories, like a candidate being rejected because he took a call from a cafe and trivial stuff like that.

I think the internet made headhunting/recruiting more efficient but counterbalanced that by also generating more spam that companies have to deal with. Maybe companies get increasingly more spam nowadays and this is their way to deal with this. That is also why they pay recruiters like me.

I see that the mismatch between what companies say they want, what they actually want, what they actually need is becoming bigger and bigger and I honestly have no clue how to solve this.
This is stupid though. macOS is the operating system for its flagship desktop/laptop devices. The lack of bug bounty on macOS (or even an invite one) seems really bizarre.
The damaged blades in the photo are turbine inlet guide vanes. They are attached to the static part of the engine in front fo the rotating turbine and are the first thing the hot (1500C) gasses from combustion hit. To prevent them from melting the blades are hollow and compressor bleed air (300C) flows through them and out the holes visible on the blades. This cooling air forms an insulating layer to protect the blade surfaces. Additionally they will have a ceramic thermal barrier coating. The actual turbine blades are similar except that they have to cope with tremendous loads from centrifugal force and the power transfer from the the gas stream to the shaft.

The damage shown indicates loss of the thermal barrier coating at the leading edge and deformation of the leading edge and the cooling holes. The precise shapes are critical to maintaining the cool air film on the blade. Basically these vanes are toast and in a short time would be burnt melted toast.

Let me recommend the book: “The Jet Engine” published by Rolls-Royce. Jet engines are pretty amazing. They seem simple in principle, but the optimizations needed to make a good one are beyond most countries and companies capabilities.

Apple makes computer and operating system way before it entered the mobile market. The first part is right, but your second part is inaccurate historically.
This is simply false. GAE is not expensive. Quite the contrary. Instead of putting hundreds or thousands of man-hours into managing scalable instances and scalable databases a developer instead can invest the time into the actual money-making code. The platform abstracts away most of the pain of running a scalable app.

1. Complete my SaaS projects and generate enough revenue to become ramen-profitable.

2. Keep up the habits I have finally developed:

- Clean diet - staying away from bad food, coffee, nootropics.

- Exercise - running every day.

- Coding every day - learning from courses or adding features to my projects.

- Writing every day - working on blog posts, video scripts, or at least writing quora answers.

- Writing at least 4 jokes per day. Striving to post them regularly (tweet, use them in my articles, write routines).

- Info diet - reading, staying away from reddit, consuming news only through RSS and HN.

That's pretty much it. I want to stay healthy, make money, and get better at my craft. Nothing else needed.

You would be more convincing (and informative) if you were to include some examples and explanation of where this technique has been applied. An appeal to authority shouldn't be neccessary for the point you're making.
Use the waste packaging to craft stuff for your home and workplace. Start a forum/slack with makers interested in stuff like this and share ideas. You can probably build a lot of eco friendly solutions to your everyday problems with the high quality packaging.
There is an insane amount of content on the Internet which will not be returned in a query, no matter what you enter. More than half. More than 90%. Probably even close to 99%. Yes, you will get better results than the competition. No, it is not better by much.

And I don't go to page 2 anymore because Page 2 will always have garbage on it. I remember in the old days, in the 90's, I could search and get 5 or 10 pages of unique pages. They might not have all been entirely relevant, but they might have been interesting reads nonetheless. With today's Google search, I get about 3 or 4 typical relevant results, often from the same websites vomited out from the top 50 from Alexa 500. And then a lot of spam, computer-generated web pages after that.

There is no hope for anyone who wants to independently publish "a web page", anymore. I realize that this isn't something easily solved due to the fact that the Internet is vastly more populated now. But I don't think the system that we have in place, with Google, is anywhere near the level of sophistication that we can achieve as we approach the 2020s. We have this narrative that Google is such a vastly powerful collective, and that this is the best that they can come up with, and therefore that's what we have to work with, as Internet users. My post was not to show that I have all of the answers, but to illustrate the fallacious reasoning which deters people from even attempting to solve the problem.

Folks, as long as we continue that mindset, that's how things are going to continue to be.

Then you might find that Thomas Hühn's approach helps you.

The "another crypto expert" mentioned by schoen is Daniel J. Bernstein, quoted directly by Hühn.
Sounds like a textbook example of restriction of range.

If you hire based on, say, STEM expertise, all of your employees will have lots of it. If you then do a study on what explains performance differences among your employees, STEM expertise will look useless, whether it is or not, because your employees all have similar levels of it.

The only real lesson you can draw from that is "don't do studies that have no theoretical chance of revealing any information".

Following your link, I notice that the top two replies are both making the same point.
This was non-sensical...someone will compete with google because Blockchain? There’s no issue with current payment models, you don’t need a trustless peer to peer system to beat google, you need to significantly change the nature of what it is to search. If instead of finding q&a’s on stack overflow an AI took my question, looked at my code, and answered / fixed it, that would be a game changer. Using a different UI than google? Has happened, will happen again, not really relevant (google itself has revved it’s ui extensively).

That's not how it works. When you stake your Ethereum, it gets locked up and can't be withdrawn.

When your staking time is up, then you can withdraw it. Smart contracts could be used so that multisignature wallets could be used which would prevent a hacker from taking funds provided to the mining pool.

I think a few friends and I are going to start a validator pool when time comes to switch over.

Welcome to Lyra a not-for-profit communication service
Some thoughts:

- How many people are really not in control of their health and body? Sure, there are physical exceptions and I‘m not saying it‘s easy, but is it really common that eating healthy and living an active lifestyle is prevented by psychological and social reasons? And if so, isn‘t that an excuse for missing pretty much any goal that requires to overcome some barriers?

- With cyberbullying, suicide and objectification you‘re throwing terms into the discussion that are a major escalation of the ads in question. I don‘t necessarily make that connection or at least think that it‘s a very subjective one and in my opinion those issues rather require work on a personal, individual level for those affected. However, that’s a different discussion.

- Wouldn‘t you agree that one‘s career and professional status is very much related to the perceived self-worth? How is that not relevant to teenagers that are about to start their careers, whether it‘s a high paying tech job or being a cashier at Walmart, very soon. Considering one‘s career options doesn‘t require to already have one - it also applies to future prospects - or lack thereof. And even then grownups aren‘t immune to these considerations and their effects.

What you're saying is also partially misleading.

The question how problematic carbs (or anything else, really) are is most significantly defined by the glycemic index. The damaging factoe is how quickly the sugar can be processed, and how high the first peak is.

If you eat common full-grain rye bread then you'll have entirely different results than eating pure sugar.

I have tried not to use Google, but I always come back.

Results from Altavista, Bing and DuckDuckGo are so much worse.

Note, it's not that Google has personal information on me. I'm not logged in, my cache is cleared, I use a VPN and google.com/ncr when it was available. Not sure how they do it. Perhaps their tracker sees how long people have visited a page and then they give those pages higher priority.

Perhaps other search engines can do a better job, but they had over a decade to improve their results and they are still far off.

I took a memory course (audio tapes) many years ago. One of the suggestions by the presenter was to not drink any coffee or alcohol or eat any white flour or white sugar before listening to each course.

I obeyed this rule for a few tapes, but then around the 4th tape, I said "phooey to that", and ate a bag of peanut m&m's before doing a course.

The difference in my attention span was so striking, I instantly became a believer in the adverse affects of white sugar on memory. I could not keep my focus on the course. My mind wandered like a 2 year old in a toy shop. Every idea that popped into my head distracted me from listening and focusing on the material.

As an aside, I had already learned to memorize all 52 cards in a deck and could do memory tricks with names and various lists. So I wasn't a memory newb when taking this course.
I don't know if an open collaborative approach to search is really possible given that there's a whole SEO industry out there. If we could have the equivalent of white hat SEO folks help point out flaws and exploitable bits, then maybe?
Juvenile "animal rights" activist releasing bees? That's dumb. The bees were free to roam as they please anyway. This is exactly how African killer bees "escaped" from several experimental hives. They were set free by someone.

Beekeepers do care a lot for their bees' well being, by providing a hive and moving it in a place where the bees can thrive. Otherwise they'd go out of business.
> As a grown man with 3 kids, 4 houses, 3 cars one wife, I like to think I’m fairly mature, yet I find cynicism to be a thief of joy.

Well, since Java evaluates method arguments all the time, if you have a computationally-heavy argument, then it is better to check debug level:

if(log.isInfoEnabled()) {
log.info("Foo: {}", someHeavyOperationThatReturnsString());
}
I would argue that refined white sugar doesn't affect you the same way as organic unprocessed sugar. (from experience) I don't think it even takes going to the extreme of comparing refined sugar to whole grains, I think white sugar is toxic on a level we as a society are just starting to recognize.

It reminds me of the early days when everyone started saying that cigarettes caused cancer, but the scientists were conflicted... Us common sense folks new better.

I've met plenty of couples who met on tinder, so it does for sure. If you're having a bunch of awkward chats, I dunno, look up some example chats on reddit and see if that's different than what you're doing or if you just perceive all chats as awkward.
The police departments have to fill a quota so they will give an official fine to some people, once they fill the quota for that month, they are free to ask for a bribe.
On tinder you can find out with a simple change in your settings. Out of curiosity I found out that men are not nearly as picky as women in terms of the initial match. Nobody hounded me on chat though.
When I'm doing an online search and the top results are from quora I know I'll be disappointed. The result will be on topic but the information will be the same kind of one person's faulty rambling kind of thing seen in this post here. There is somewhat good content on Quora, it varies, but it seems to be way more miss than hits. Information from Quora is usually about as good as a hit from some old PHPBulletin forum.
I don't know if the majority of consumers would care in the slightest about Microsoft making their index public. Maybe among certain crowds like this, but what would it gain us?

Also, the image of a "hip" Google competitor like Snapchat seems tremendously unappealing, personally.
