I don't understand why people still do this type of "X will grow" predictions.

You have nothing to lose by making such predictions, just like how everyone who predicted the rise of tulips is now laughed upon.
Furthermore, even if Bitcoin DOES go up, it's not like you'll be applauded for being an 'oracle' just because you predicted this either. Pretty much everyone who's invested in Bitcoin, hoping to get rich, and doesn't understand the technology is saying the same thing.

Why not actually learn how the technology works, so that you don't make these shallow deceptive remarks that sound exactly the same as the conversation I had with my blockchain-entrepeneur friend last night, and instead maybe stop trying to get rich quick by hyping Bitcoin?

Regarding all the reasons you pointed out, except for the Lightning network solution, the rest are really big problems. Just because more and more people buy Bitcoin you think it will go up to 100.000? Just because you have some Bitcoin because of your speculative greed, you think Bitcoin will go up to $100.000?

The limit and distribution of coins are really the biggest issues right now, and there are tons of different approaches people are working on to keep it that way. Just like tulips were unfairly distributed and overvalued. I'm sure people will see through the get-rich-quick scheme.

One thing I find annnoying about Cryptocurrency enthusiasts saying Bitcoin will grow is how they think Bitcoin is some evolving thing that's sure to succeed because they bought into it early. Bitcoin was designed to enable people a decentralized currency and that's the whole point. People will find various ways to lure people into buying Bitcoin (or Omise GO) without clear benefits because financial inventivization comes from them already owning some coins.
It's not crazy idea, they could serve it using the subdomain but serve themselves, but they are either too lazy or incompetent.
Most importantly addressing behaviour is the only way to get injuries down, buying more useless protection gear does not work. The cult of the helmet need to stop.
Yes there is, don't listen to the entire comment of the user sitepodmatt.

As he has mentioned, knowing solidity can give you an edge in a company that wants to write ethereum contracts, but that generally means it isn't like a day job, you can also freelance for companies that wants it.

Don't consider his opinion about the success or not of ethereum, smart contracts are there to stay and even if you code in another platform in another SDK the basics will roughly be the same. But anyways, I believe ethereum will thrive, nobody actually said that Ethereum was scalable enough anyways, everybody knows its limitations but instead how about looking where it wants to be? :-)
What are we supposed to do? People seem to be against institutionalization because it denies them their freedom and they refuse to use the many public and private homeless assistance programs available to them.

How can you "kill" something that constantly evolves?

A hundred years ago modern-day "britishisms" would be viewed as "killing the English language".

Also, what's "British English"? These two are British English:

- received pronunciation with it's "proper English": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bIemPxHSb6Q

- Glasgoans (??) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=le_uNGdpa4c with "bubblin' and greetin'" and other weird stuff
Having lots of homeless people on the streets is the opposite of solving the homeless problem. SF should be demonized.
International English.

Supposably, Americans could care less that other English-speaking countries are closer to en-GB than en-US, despite the relentless onslaught of inconsiderate software defaults.

I think I just hurt my eyes from rolling them so far back in my head. Cultures in contact with each other share words. It goes both ways. A quarter or more of the words in English are outright copied from French... oh, but that happened a long time ago.

As an American, I've noticed certain words I associate with British English creeping into our vocabulary as well. In my mind I associate it with Harry Potter and Doctor Who, but I realize Anglophilia is no new thing--these are just the bits of British pop culture that hit me in my early adulthood.

The fact is that British and American English will each remain distinctive, even as they continue to share and evolve together as well. The Internet is definitely making this evolution happen more quickly. But it still goes both ways, and will continue to do so. Some of the changes you'll like and adopt without thinking about, some you will find annoying or crude, some you will hate with a completely irrational passion. It's part of life. Enjoy it!
> Engel says. “A nation that outsources the development of its own language – that language it developed over hundreds of years – is a nation that has lost the will to live”.

I believe something similar applies now to Australian English. Many of the words and phrases, developed over 200 years of unique shared experience, and also incorporated from a diverse range of linguistic immigration, are no longer commonly in use. Or at least not commonly in use amongst the younger urban population, which seems to drive much of the national cultural norms today.

I think the language is poorer for this loss, but also understand it is perhaps an inevitable consequence of constant exposure to the dominant Western global cultural force.
I am not sure what is the author trying to convey with the article. I mean... isn't it a feature of languages that they evolve and change with society? I think pretty much every language today is not exactly the same that it was a couple of generations ago so why would we expect it to be what it is now in the future? Or is the complaint just that are the Americas bringing the most changes?
This has been happening to the English language for the entirety of its existence. The process may have accelerated, but it's the same process that's led to the mishmash of Germanic, Latin and panoply of loanwords that we use every day.

The OpenSSL beginner's guide to creating SSL certificates
Should “Ask HN” Work Like “Show HN”?
I really like how the Show HN is like a list of its own with "top" and "newest" and the "Show HN" token during submission.

According to the docks "The current Show HNs can be found via show in the top bar, and the newest are here. To post one, simply submit a story whose title begins with "Show HN"."

I've been thinking it would be nice if the "ask HN" posts worked the second way. My reasoning is that way newly posted Asks wouldn't be lost on the general HN "new" page.

What do others think? If many do, perhaps we can ask ycombinator to consider this change.

Networking works if you do it right. Made $300k my first year from 0 using only physical networks and around $5k spending money. I'm a web developer in Sweden.

For me to join a network the network has to match these criteria:

* It markets itself as exclusive

* It costs money (say $2k/y for small businesses and scaling prices depending on number of employees)

* Participants are owners or at C-level

The networks are often dinners where the participants get to know each other in friendly settings. I aim for networks with high middle age where I stick out as the younger (am mid-thirties) professional which connects tech with business needs (my niche).

While at a network, do not talk about yourself. Ask about others businesses and interests. These sells take between 6-12 months and are based on trust.

You also need to come prepared.

* Dress as expected.

* Have a web page with referrals so when leads get a bit nosy and Google you you're #1 in search and the page provides the lead with info about great work you've done. I have about 100 visits / mo to my page (my weird name helps for the #1 pos). 90% are primed leads.

* Know your oneliners. Prepare examples of things you can provide. Make them sound natural. Say it without selling in an informal way.

It's about being systematic and selecting only the networks where your dream leads go to. Hoping to get into invite only networks further on.
On YouTube in particular, I'd be mostly fine with pre-roll ads if it weren't for those World of Tank ads above the recommended sidebar. Those ads slow my machine down to a crawl some times. No clue why they allow webgl animations in their ads.
Yeah, seems like only my country got it for some reason. If you're interested, it's the Z581KL-1A042A model, there are a few shops selling it, but I don't know if any ship to other countries.
As you've read from different sources, how much sleep do you consider as an adequate amount of sleep for a day ?

A css assistant that can answer the question "why is this over here".

Though there are lots of conspicuous imports in e.g. product names, those are just on the surface. It's harder for "supposed to be" to replace "meant to be" than for "ATM" to replace "cash point."
All these things.. I started exercising in May, my brain was working fine before and I see no difference now that I'm exercising. The improvements are my muscles (yay), my back pain is gone, and I can eat more. But that's it.

Oh and contrary to popular belief, I sleep worse when I exercise because overnight my body emits so much heat that I sweat myself (but if I don't cover myself I get woke up by cold), and the adrenaline is there and makes harder to fall asleep (even 4 hours after gym).

I still sleep better without sport. But I'm happy that backpain is gone and I can eat more, so I'm going to stick with it ;)
Do you think this is a place for hackers or something?
Why would you expect the BBC to refer to "English" as "British English"?

To assuage American readers? That's a rather condescending attitude, don't you think?
John McAfee’s Twitter account hacked and recommends ‘coin of the day’
I disagree, I think this was a terrible response. They start with the following:

"First and foremost, we have never — and would never — do anything to intentionally shorten the life of any Apple product, or degrade the user experience to drive customer upgrades"

... and then proceed to explain why that's exactly what they did. Also, I have no reason to believe getting a new battery will fix my iPhone, especially after they lied so blatantly about planned obsolescence.
On a related note, they have used underclocking so "solve" hardware flaws on other devices too. If anyone remembers the nVidia unleaded solder microfracture-fest of 2008~. It affected more than just Apple, but the difference is that Apple didn't admit to any issue with their hardware, people who experienced the failure and attempted to go through the Apple care hoops ended up with a logic board with the same issue (another time bomb). Apple pushed a firmware update to underclock all affected GPUs and effectively push the issue outside of their measly 1 year warranty.

I learned my lesson: you should only buy Apple hardware if you are happy with it as is, if you can't be certain it will remain that way and something goes wrong you have to accept that you will be ignored and Apple will admit to nothing, at the most they will remotely modify your device at whatever cost to the user to prevent them owning up and making replacements.
I think it's based on your body. Mine is very explicit: if I sleep less than 8 hours my stomach burns. If I sleep less than 7 my brain is useless. So, 8 for me (my wife needs 9!).

My general suggestion is that you should naturally wake up before the alarm rings. I set it to 9 hours and naturally wake up between 8 and 8:30 hours.
Everything I've read is possible without "cheating"... not sure what you meant with that, do you mean server plugins? You could still make the exchanges interacting with other players, the shops that use special chests (that's a server plugin) are a convenient shortcut.

The economy becomes complex because you can build automatic farms for many valuable items: experience points, food... that would beat manual production hands down.

The piece is a little old. You can now farm wool mostly unattended and food totally hands free. I can't see any mention to villagers trade, not sure if that's because some server rule or because it was impossible with that versions.

Villagers and wool are an infinite source of most valuable items including some diamond tools. Also you can farm gold and experience points with Snocrash's pigmen farm at an incredible pace.
There is no "original form" still spoken today. Why would the version that happens to be currently socially accepted as "correct" by most native speakers in England be the "original" form? The vast majority of English speakers don't speak British English.
An interesting phenomenon I've noticed is that a lot of people, and often intelligent people, believe that language that have been evolving for thousands of years should, somehow, just stop evolving today.

Interestingly, while one would expect it to be correlated with political belief (conservatives would want language as it was in good old days, progressives would embrace the change) my personal anecdotal evidence says it isn't.

Apple's prime business trait is making big margins on everything relating to hardware. The fact that battery replacements were not historically being done "at cost" should surprise precisely no one.
If you believe the bringers of bad news you clearly haven’t been using Apple products for long as the doomsayers alway love to trash their latest products.

The next iPhone is always going to be the one that ends Apple, the new OS always shows that Apple finally lost its way.

You’re better off ignoring that drivel and making up your own mind.
6-8 hours, depending on your body, unless people who say they're fine on 6 hours are just lying to themselves and others.

From what I've experienced, I think the time of day you go to bed matters as well, meaning even with a full fresh perfect feeling 8 hours, your body doesn't enter REM the same or produce the same amount of growth hormone or clean out the brain properly if you go to sleep everyday at say 6am vs sometime shortly after sun down. I guess it has to do with the light levels you experience.
While I agree, the article does cover this:

"After all, as a nation we’ve been both invaded and invader, and our language is all the richer for it. Words like bungalow, bazaar, even Blighty, have their roots elsewhere. Heck, go far enough back and isn’t it pretty much all just distorted Latin, French or German?"
I was about to point out how much American TV is broadcast daily in the UK and how that shapes language and culture over here. But I think the complete lack of British online social communities is going to be even more influential. Everyone over here is on facebook, youtube, reddit, etc. Everyone is installing games and apps on their phones with American English phrasing. Aside from reading the bbc, telegraph etc or shopping/banking online, every other bit of online content consumed over here is mostly American centered.
I doubt it because then we would see a similar drop in Chicago and we don't.
I don't have any good argument why, besides the one that in non-English speaking countries, English == British English.

Same for Spanish, when I'm talking about that language it doesn't even cross my mind that someone might think Mexican Spanish.

But English is not my first language so it may be different e.g. for Americans.
The obscure MMORPG A Tale In The Desert has (had?) a mechanic to fix this stuff.

Players have a mechanism to feed their desires into the actual game rules. They also had some sort of indirect democratic control which enabled them to give characters a death sentence, ceding all their property. I think they elect a "Demi-Pharaoh", and the DP gets to give out one death sentence during their "reign", something like that. So it was possible to _really_ screw somebody who caused trouble.

However, Vanilla Minecraft has some labour-saving devices, where you invent some resources to make more without proportional effort, e.g. using stone, and metal from a furnace you can hook up a simple machine that turns wood into charcoal and feeds the furnace, so compared to a beginner you are now using much less wood to make the same resources, and no extra effort. ATITD mostly avoids this, it has a strong click economy, a serious player must spend hours every day clicking on things, machines that reduce the amount of clicking are almost unheard of while of course clients that automate clicking _outside_ the game are common. This can't help but tilt the way the game is played.

ATITD when I played it (many years ago now) was already a very niche game, and I believe it now has even fewer players than it did then and is maintained entirely by fans rather than a third party developer, but the reddit still seems to exist, as does the game's web site.
Not one mention of using a spellchecker, surely that's high leverage: quick and easy, increases the quality of your output.
The blockchain is nothing more than an analogous open-sourcing of persistent and [usually] immutable data I/O, similar to how code is open-sourced today. The early naysayers of the free software movement may have said "But how will programmers get paid?"

Well, we have plenty of successful business models for open source software now. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Business_models_for_open-sourc....

I agree that at the current point in time, blockchain-based projects are experimental and risky. Even Steemit, known to be one of the more successful late-gen blockchain projects, is not without its critics to this day. But there will emerge successful business models just as with the free software movement.
I guess that's safer than leaving your cash out on the kitchen table, or maybe at a bus stop...but not by much if your threat model is highly sophisticated thieves/attackers capable of breaking into a safe-deposit box and/or kidnapping your family and ransoming them.
From the home and about page it seems like this was developed in the context of teaching a course at the Imperial College London. I wouldn't be surprised if there was just so much bureaucracy involved in getting this open source that the author deemed it not really worth it.

As a foreign speaker, American English has become the reference. Almost all English sources I use are American. (e.g. movies, tv series, youtube channels...). I try not to use words specific to British English and I set my spellchecker to U.S. English.

It sounds wrong to refer to British English as the English language. There are several English languages that coexist and cross-pollinate.

Yeah, I experience that same heat related exercise induced insomnia in the summer. Even in the summer though, I absolutely must have some blanket or something, or else I feel weird. Counter intuitively, I feel cooler wearing a shirt to bed in the summer as well, even with a blanket.

Right now though it's so cold where I live that I can just dress warm and cover up with the comforter, whilst saving money on heating.

The impression i have is that first Intel freaked, as they worried that they would cannibalize the ultra-portable market.

Second Microsoft freaked, because Vista could not run on them.

End result was that we got a combo of hardware and software that was not fit for anything, along with a bunch of gray-box rebrands (particularly of a certain MSI model).
It's sad to see such bullshit conservatism from someone who has written for bbc and the guardian. This is the kind of arguments that Brexit backers use. "Let's protect the English language! Let's kick all the foreigners out!"
Given the clusterfuck that was Facebook, I fear that there is less incentive to be careful than one would hope.
>I think I just hurt my eyes from rolling them so far back in my head. Cultures in contact with each other share words. It goes both ways.

Not really, it goes mostly from the direction of the stronger nations to the less strong in the relationship.

And cultures and languages do die out in such processes.

Now, some might find all this inconsequential, but for some of us those things means something (and the fact that historically things change and die anyway isn't more comforting than it is when its told about one's family dying).

What I'm more amazed is how people can lament some latest sequel to a movie franchise "betraying" or losing the spirit of the original or losing its way etc, but at the same time can't understand others that are concerned with whole cultures doing the same.
