Full disclosure I work for a firm that's helping launch the next generation of crypto/fiat brokers that will be popping up through out the world the next couple months. My dad is a chip engineer and has personally worked with kurzweil on some of his early ventures. One of his xmas bonus was a kurzweil keyboard that I was forced to learn how to play when I was a child. I remember hearing first hand from my dad and his friends about what was happening. Later on in my undergrad biz school I still had some text books that was written around the boom. Everything was about the new "information highway" and how the "long-tail" will finally be serviced. People were giddy and it being the end of 2017, it is safe to say they were all right to be giddy. I buy a majority of my stuff through apps, able to maintain friendships across the globe and taught myself everything my dad tried to teach me about linux, when I was a child, now online while at work.

Being able to freely create a currency that has the necessary legitimacy to actually work while still being able to cleaning integrate with a larger organization is a powerful weapon against getting screwed by globalism and these massive multi-national corporations. Where I call home is a former mill town that got fucked. Having a solid local currency that all the local businesses will recognize will make home much stronger. For this to reach it's potential though, there needs to be massive investment and social change - just like tinder needed fb, websites, emails and fast internet connections to reach a point of maturity, these new digital currencies need a full ecosystem.

I don't buy or sell any of these currencies even though it would be ridiculously easy for me to do stuff that would be terribly illegal with stocks. It's because I think there will be a spectacular crash in the short run but in the long run the next FANGS will related to the blockchain and crypto technologies.

So hate at your expense.

Agreed. part of the process is managing the 1000 photos imported from the camera.

So, it's not a Picasa replacement then?
> This is generally my approach: if I feel like the person won’t fix their behavior real fast, I will do my best to exclude them. They won’t speak at events I manage, I won’t send work their way, I won’t help them when they come to me with questions, I’ll warn other people to stay away from them, and I’ll keep an eye on events they participate in and people they work with.

This sort of approach is something I find personally distasteful. Why do people think that using the same tactics that were used to blackball groups in the past is going to somehow avoid abuses in the future? Why do people think that confessing "hey, if I don't agree with you on <assumed innate guilt of white cishet males>, I'm going to try to ruin your career and reputation" is going to do anything other than antagonize and drive away people?
Lithium can be extracted from the ocean at commercially viable costs, no asteroid mining required.
The sorts of organizations which get targeted by attackers sophisticated enough to use side channel attacks generally don't publish post-mortems.

But I've heard enough through unofficial channels to be very very confident that such attacks are indeed taking place.
I got the original echo free at a conference, I really don’t find it that useful. For me, I could accomplish all the same things with a Bluetooth speaker. Although my kids get a kick out of the farting skill. Outside of playing music that is the most used feature.
Google literally makes its money from advertising directly keyed on your personal information and searches. Amazon makes money because you buy things from it. Google can't not share your information with advertisers if it wants to survive. Amazon, on the other hand, is extremely protective of private information to the point of defying law enforcement in a murder case (https://www.cnn.com/2016/12/28/tech/amazon-echo-alexa-benton...).
Doesn't Bitcoin have inflation of 12.5 coins every 10 minutes at the moment? So you can't strictly say there is no inflation.
You need to first send equipment to do the mining and sending back - that part is very expensive, and if it's only to be used for sending stuff back to Earth (safely), then mining in space has very bad returns.

Asteroid mining is absolutely awesome if you move as much of the process as possible to space - every kilogram you use up there to build something is a kilogram you didn't have to launch upwell.
Lawn mower? Have we crossed that line now? Sounds like a good premise for a horror movie.
I wonder if anyone’s trying to decipher non human communication (dolphins, elephants).
I fundamentaly disagree that YC is a subversion of the current system. They are basically the same thing but everyone drank their own koolaid and thinks it’s something new. YC is a system that is really good for putting stamps of approval on selected groups, and Airbnb is great.

Plenty of crypto currencies exist other than bitcoin. This is only the beginning, and scaling is one of many issues that will be figured out. Even if you don’t buy coins, paying attention to the tech coming out can be beneficial and interesting.
At my previous company we used it to verbally query key performance metrics, user statistics, etc.

What's with the spam link? You have a really good comment history, so I'm thinking either your account has been penetrated or somehow your "yeah" was autocorrected to a bogus hyperlink, or you meant to link something else.
True, but we can't be sure that no breakthrough in fuel cells or supercapacitors will make batteries obsolete.
> Darktable is mostly geared towards improving photograph quality, while GIMP [...]

I'd hesitate to call that an issue. It's more a different focus - if you've only got one or two images to deal with, then sure, GIMP (or Photoshop) is more capable, but when you've got a couple hundred or more raws from a full day's shooting - many of which were taken under the same lighting conditions and thus need similar processing - you really start to want something that's designed specifically around dealing with such large collections. That's where applications like Darktable and Lightroom, with their collection management and workflow capabilities, really come into their own.

(Super excited for the Windows release!)

You've got to find a way to go from over 20,000k per second to stationary on the ground. For any worthwhile mass of asteroid you bring back to Earth, it's going to require one hell of a heat shield during reentry.

So maybe you leave the heat shield in orbit, but you've still got get it there.

I think space mining becomes possible when you're no longer cornered by the rocket equation. That is, it's going to require a breakthrough in propulsion systems.
For that you can use Rapid Photo Downloader.

Or if you want something more integrated, my editor Filmulator has that, though it's far from being feature complete...
Depends on your threat model. If you want to protect your data when your laptop is stolen, on-drive encryption is probably more than sufficient.

Not necessarily. In the near term, mining asteroids means mining near-Earth asteroids, not those from the belt.

The changes we'll need to make to propulsion systems are more about their operations - we need more types of engines that can be frequently shut down and restarted.
After investors get burned a couple times, the revenue predictions get updated to account for the measured risk. So, thinking longer term, fixed costs do have to be taken into account.
Lost me at "but there is no trail with Bitcoin", not sure who they are paying to write this shit.
Assuming I already wrote a shell script that does this, what else about Darktable's file management is going to annoy me when I try it on the three hundred or five hundred or a thousand images I'll bring home after a busy day of shooting?
Alexa is supported in way more countries than Google Home. Personally I have no option its either Alexa or none.
The reason why you are having a problem finding practical uses of game theory is for some strange reason economists have decided to call the whole field Mechanism Design [0]. Once you know the right term to use you will find lots of examples.

WHY DO I NEED a CUSTOM WEB DESIGNER?
As Adobe has released the very last non-cloud Lightroom, I guess it's time to move to its "negative" - Darktable.
Have you ever been in a room with an Alexa unit when people are trying to talk about it? It's like a comedy routine with the device activating spuriously over and over.
> I think space mining becomes possible when you're no longer cornered by the rocket equation. That is, it's going to require a breakthrough in propulsion systems.

I think near-Earth space mining and manufacturing is what can help us get over that limit in some way - LEO is halfway to anywhere in the Solar System ∆v-wise, so whatever part of your mission you don't have to lift upwell makes for huge savings in fuel (and for many missions, you can use weaker and more efficient engines once you're on a stable orbit).
Considering banks have taken to use ripple, crypto obviously has it’s place. Bitcoin doesn’t really seem like it’ll have much of a future though.

Well unless people keep pretending the naked emperor has clothes, which they might.
It's nowhere near as good as Picasa or Lightroom for bulk editing, sharing, and general photo library management. But it absolutely destroys Picasa for the actual editing of raw files. I'd say if post processing is your focus, it's without a doubt worth the switch. If you're more of a "shoot lots and manage in bulk", then no.

I personally find the file/library management aspect of Darktable so lacking that it's personally useless to me. I absolutely despise Adobe and would pay double what I give them for a decent Lightroom alternative, but it just doesn't exist yet and won't anytime soon.
Doesn’t that imply that the typedef technique is not a good replacement for super?
Haven't watched the linked TED video, but this:

>"The fact that the same 32 symbols are repeated across sites that span 30,000 years and an entire content is nothing less than mindblowing. "

Is both quite intriguing (if implication is true) but also raises the question of authenticity (if we're unkind) or at least accurate dating (if we're charitable).

Maybe the video goes into detail. (Apparently, it's claimed that upwards of 60% of the symbols/signs were expressed during the 30 thousand year span --which seems pretty incredible. I mean, the invariability seems somewhat preternatural.)
The advertisers don't get my life, they get the ability to insert their ad into my life based on my life. I've never understood personally how targeted advertising is really anyone violating my privacy (in terms of how I practically use the term). We have the technical know-how here - we know it's not Jim at Coke deciding to place an ad into my life personally because I just made a phone call that he was listening to where I said Pepsi. Advertisers don't know anything about me personally - they have the ability to target via Google. Even if they can figure out how to filter down to exactly me via stalking on social media, they don't get their information about me from Google. In the end, I get an ad (that I will block) either way. The practicality is fine for me. That's not the privacy I really care about.

I'm looking more at how much I trust the company to not leverage the data they have to give to NSA, turn the world into 1984, etc. Apple did the same type of legal protection of personal device data as Amazon, and I expect Google to do the same if asked, which will likely happen soon enough. What worries me about Amazon/Bezos in this regard more than Google is Amazon + WaPo + Whole Foods, all the industries they have swallowed and replaced, etc.

Again, both have that concern, and in the end I'm cautious but not really expecting either to turn like that. But it's one small data point. The Chromecast hookup is much more heavily weighted in this decision, but I think the psychology behind the argument above def nudges more towards Google as well.
It does in my case. My entire routine, both morning and night, is set to the Alexa. It's convenient (it reminds me on both my phone and on the device). When I want music, I ask for it. When I'm out of dishwasher pods, I order them. It knows which ones too, because it knows which ones I ordered last time.

So yes, it makes a significant difference in my life, as someone with ADD that struggles with these every day tasks. Maybe the delusional one is the person that thinks their particular perspective is the only one.
Drop-in is another great feature. If you have more than one echo you can use them as an intercom. You can also use it to make calls to/from it. This is very useful if you have kids at home that don't own a phone yet.
A credit score could be made more accurate if you included race and ethnicity, but current models are more accurate than one built simply on race and ethnicity. (This may simply be measuring the recial bias of society, but more data is almost always useful.)

Sure, it may offend people to include race, it's not required. EX: People without children are a higher risk than those with children. On it's own not a big deal, and you can't trust any one thing, but screening even 1 in 3 people is still vastly cheaper than everyone.

In the end we can be just as effective without including race if we simply spend more money to profile more people. Making more people suffer for little gain vs. standing up for your principles is less clear cut than people want to admit. Still, both options are viable.
It depends on what you are looking for and your online content consuming habits.

There are not that much more content with the membership, and if you are reading a lot (too much?) on the web, newsletters etc it may get somehow lost.

However, I find the content always interesting and thought provoking so if you are limiting your reading time and want to add a valuable source, that's definitely a good idea.

Ps. For all others seeking wisdom, the free section of Farnam Street is definitely a place to check
We can't be sure that there won't be a breakthrough that will make all our phones and cars run on adenosine triphosphate, like everything else on this planet. But right now we have to work with what we have, and whatever knowledge and experience we thus gain will likely be useful post-unexpected-breakthroughs anyway.
Yes, but the security really needs to be brought up to par. A botnet of those could synchronize the activation and deactivation of the high-energy processes to wreck the grid for ransom, terrorism, or war.

(I suppose that's way too serious to be done for the lulz, but one never knows)
That is likely the next step. Addon take more time for approval.
Isn't it 'Okay Google'? Either way, I do find Alexa rolls off the tongue a little easier. That may be because I have trouble enunciating verbal transitions.
That's pretty sweet.

I am concerned about the IAM policy you're choosing - Administrator access should basically never be given out or used. I would highly recommend figuring out what your actual dependencies are and restricting the policy to just what's necessary.
I wonder if our brains have changed so much since then, that we may not be able to comprehend what the symbols originally meant.
If those doing the profiling are interested in being successful, and race and religion prove to be ineffective indicators of threat, then such profiling should stop (or bombs will keep getting through at an inordinate rate). Otherwise, race and religion are simply observations about passengers which have value in directing attention.

I think that's about what I would expect from HN considering that Bitcoin was largely known for its speculative value rather than its technology. In a way, the success of Bitcoin is its biggest enemy in communities like this one.

So, I work in this field, and I have to find it really annoying to see the NYTimes miss the big picture.

The price for electricity tomorrow from 12 to 1 was set in the Day Ahead Market already, by all the participants (generator owners, utilities, big consumers.) At that market (making up numbers for the sake of explanation), let's say the utilities together bought 22000 KWH for that one hour. The amount of money changing hands is quanitity times price, let's say at $30 per KWH.

12 o'clock comes around, and for whatever reason, consumers are just not flipping enough switches and consumption is 20000. Now at the Real Time Market, money changes hands to get enough generators to dial back production, and enough big time consumers to dial theirs up.

Some times utilities don't buy 100% of their power on Day Ahead, taking the risk that they can get a decent deal at Real Time for the small amount of top-up they will need.
SOmetimes they overbuy because of bad forecasts. That's when negative pricing kicks in.

Back to our example: Consumers only need 20000KWH for that hour. So 2000KWH's worth of dials need to turn. The people turning the dials get paid for it, at that negative price.

But the amount of money changing hands is small compared to what happend the day before when forecasted power was scheduled.

TLDR:This is not a big deal.
Mandatory in Singapore houses. Practically used for live-in maid or general storage. But effectively involves a massive metal box in the middle of your house. Given the information (a.o. Sunlight as a electrical contractor) in the blog the OP is living in Singapore.

The red circle in his first image will like be much more distorted in practice by the bomb shelter, meaning his home WiFi will have a lot of trouble reaching whats behind the shelter (i.e. the bathroom and the Mr Bedroom in particular). Basically he got a pretty horrible spot for his router. Study/bedroom3 would have been substantial better.
True, but then you need more than the $750k to buy a house outright AND retire. And you certainly can't buy in the areas where you were earning that $140k. Owning outright makes things easier but there's always property taxes to pay, along with maintenance and upkeep.
My religion is Phish. It's a massive cathartic ceremony, and with the correct chemicals, I hear the angels.

I get what they're saying. It's dumb to restrict spirituality and even "religion" to certain institutions.

I want to give Google the credit for a conceptually elegant approach that will slot neatly into the existing bidding system.

But it seems to think of humans and adtech bidding ecosystems as identical economic agents. If we're all perfect consumers, sure, the system converges to an equilibrium.

That seems like a mighty generous "if". It's already annoying to manage the mental cost of schemes like Patreon's. How much more annoying is to have to forecast, several weeks in advance, a bidding system that settles in milliseconds, millions of times per minute?

It's worth noting that I may be misunderstanding or misrepresenting the nuances and design of the Contributor scheme. I'm a potential competitor, my remarks ought to be look on skeptically.

But likewise I ask people to follow the money. Cui bono? In this case: Google.
First Time User on Windows, its a bit slow during import compared to lightroom (you can't see thumbnails unless you highlight the image file name - maybe I am doing this wrong so I am not sure).

a couple of UI/UX issues I found:

= When I open a tool panel from the "more modules" the panel is added to the tools but its collapsed instead of expanded.

= some filters should be toned down (the sliders have very extreme results with minor movements, this makes it hard to fine tune)

its a much more polished effort than gimp though. I'll keep an eye on darktable!
I was ready to write this off as early humans ancestors depicting basic shapes of objects in their surroundings, until I got to the upside down and right side up “brush shapes”. I’m not sure what that would mean, something descending and ascending with some type of force or vitesse?
Had Gruber ever written anything negative about Apple? He might as well just be Apple's PR under a pseudonym.

Anyways, aside from my annoyance, I would highly recommend that Gruber look at tech beyond the closed microcosm that is the Apple ecosystem and to realise that a lot of what Apple is doing isn't innovating but catching-up with what the rest of the tech world has already done.
So is a better rank-based system. I can't think of a single reason to prefer IRV over better rank-based voting systems, and plenty of reasons not to.

I absolutely agree that our voting systems are part of the problem; first-past-the-post is broken.
> It's lead, not ebola.

Exactly.

Fumbling around with a soldering iron and some leaded solder a little bit, few times a decade, won't give you cancer or any poisoning. Safety considerations are aimed at people doing lots of soldering, because at this point the amount of flux fumes they might breathe in (or risk of ingesting lead) becomes a possible risk.

(And to be honest, I believe most of this safety advice is aimed not at DIY people, and not even at people who occasionally have to solder something at work, but to have a stick that will prevent employers in soldering shops from creating very unhealthy conditions for their workers.)
I've worked with a programmer on a project who could not do basic algebra (4x + 1 = 5, solve for x), and would outsource any math to stackoverflow to get answers in his specific language. Those answers were usually incorrect because he didn't know how to phrase his questions correctly.

That was horrifying to realize that the person writing the front end for an ecommerce application not only could not calculate tax, but would brag about how he doesn't need to know basic math.
I'm not whom you responded to, but, thank you, I found that diagram very helpful.
