But it isn't savings. It is, as you said, an income-producing asset. Its primary function is not as a store of value, but as a claim against promises of future production.

The national debt is mining resources needed for current operations from the future, rather than drawing down the stockpiles of those already mined from the past.

Claiming that debt is wealth is mistaken at best, and fraudulent at worst. Please reexamine your premises and analysis before repeating it.

That's a fair point, and I'm looking into these now that laptops are coming out that can be powered off USB. For me, though, I like the ability to drain a battery to zero, then hot-swap to a 100% battery instantly, then charge all batteries when I get back to the hostel.

It has been getting difficult with TSA, though.

Interestingly, if the bottom doesn't fall out from under BTC in this hypothetical scenario, investors may flee to BTC rather than dumping it into precious metals or overseas equities. Deleveraging comes in many forms and it can bring us to strange places.
Those are Ember-specific, because ES getters and setters weren't widely available at the time of introduction. They just dropped < IE 11 though so they'll start to go away.

There is a large overhead in SAS as it was designed for HDDs where the latency impact was not that critical.

The next bottleneck for SSDs after the move to NVMe is the limited number of channels from a controller. NAND is pretty fast but it is only getting slower, the key to make SSDs fast is parallelization between dies and a the bottleneck is the changes to get to the dies.

Optane does get faster speeds by replacing the media with a faster one but for now it is not price competitive for most users.

My understanding from the video is that only one perspective is rendered at a time. This perspective is rendered on only one side of the cone at a time. It makes more sense when you can see the image from the iPad. Check out the video[1] at 2:37 and 3:10.

A natural progression of the ten immutable laws of computer security:

https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh278941.aspx

"When you attach your computer / computing device to the Internet it's no longer yours."

and from that:

"There is no such thing as nonrepudiation on any computing device which is not actively monitored by an outside, independent, air-gapped system under the strictest of operational control."

Which takes us here:

"No credible forensics expert can tie user interaction to any specific event or file on a computing device with any certainty as no forensics expert can be aware of all attack surfaces and vectors over time available through the platform they are reviewing. Nor can they be aware of attack motivations and the capabilities of an attacker to obfuscate said attack."

Can we quit having wars on things ? Everything we have a war against gets worse.
Sure, that's their ultimate goal, but currently, at this stage of this game, isnt it better to spend much less than $41B, on just curbside check out points(which is the future, probably), create a curbside war between retailers(already started), and in the process bankrupt traditional remailers and shift user behaviour to online, and later, buy some retailers for pennies on the dollar?
I'm as guilty as some people of just citing "excessive regulations" as a problem without mentioning the mechanics that make that a problem, since so many people see "regulation" as a good thing by just thinking of it as "regulating away the bad outcomes". But this article gets to one of the mechanisms I think of when I cite regulation as a problem; regulation casts in concrete a particular way of doing business, and makes it literally illegal to do it any other way. Can't even try something new as a one-off; it's illegal to do anything else. Doesn't matter how brilliant your idea is; it's illegal. Doesn't matter if you've got a startup with the software all ready to go; it's illegal. Are two regulations either interacting poorly, or outright contradictory? Not only is it illegal to not conform to both of them, now we've introduced an adhoc meta-regulatory regime with regard to how to address the overlaps, with the de facto force of law behind this unwritten metaregulation, and/or impedance mismatches between two bits of the industry resolving them in different ways.

Even if we stipulate that The Hypothetical Medical Regulation Act of 1983 was somehow the miraculous embodiment of perfect medical regulation for 1983, it would be causing major problems for the medical system today. Mere time would be enough to cause problems with medical regulations, and alas, they aren't perfect to start with, and they seem to be ever-growing in size, and there's no way the complexity growth is merely O(n). We've almost certainly passed the point where regulations are appearing for the sole purpose (if one did a full cause analysis) of dealing with the fact that regulations are blocking the system up.

(My biggest objection to "national healthcare" is that unless you find me some different authors to write it than our current Congress and current regulatory state, I have approximately 0.001% confidence that "nationalizing healthcare" will fix this. Advocates of nationalizing healthcare would have a much easier time convincing me if Obamacare had simplified health care, instead of massively adding to the pile of regulations and massively empowering more regulations going forward.)

I always got the impression that Netflix's pockets were large anyway. I mean, a huge portion of their content has become self produced and the content is better than a lot of B level movies that I've seen. I assumed funding themselves making bad ass content was an indication that they had enough money that they were just like "Fine. We'll make it ourselves." Kind of along the same vein as PornHub being rumored to make sense8 season 3.

I am not purporting to have any knowledge that was just always my assumption.
I share your opinion that SQL is a very flawed language but it is still the best option I know of.

I am absolutely sure someone could make a better SQL from scratch. (But you are correct that most people won't be able to.) I am not a language designer but I've been working on an SQL generator (almost DSL) in Racket. Although it's still very rough, I like it better than SQL for writing views and stored procedures. Imagine if a world-class language designer developed a new query language for your RDBMS of choice. It would probably fix most of the things you loathe.
It is a feature, not a vulnerability.
If Amazon is going to make a high dollar retail acquisition, I think Costco makes a lot more sense than Target. True warehouse stores that could be used for distribution, high income customers who don't mind paying a subscription fee and it is already headquartered in the Seattle area.
Good. I hope he loses it all.
May I suggest a crazy idea? Ditch it and just see what happens.

We are a large organization, and had an end of year crunch so naturally when you need to pinch the absolute most productivity out of your workers, typically process is the first thing that goes.

We just had our most productive 2 week sprint in over a year, by a mile. Instead of Jira, we busted out the dusty whiteboard, and used this amazing technology called an expo marker to write down what we were working on and who was working on what. It had amazing visibility too -- our manager could stop by at any time and see with his own eyes what we were working on -- all without having to log in! The best part? We got to ditch the meeting to plan the planning, the planning to plan the week, and the retro to go over the week to start of the next week's meeting to plan the planning. We got back like two entire days, and we didn't have any 9:00 AM context switches when most of us were in the zone already having to give a benign update that could have just been communicated via slack!

Some of this is sarcasm and I do understand why managers and leaders reach for Jira, but seriously: Why did we stop using the whiteboard. If you need visibility into this crap, hire someone to do that. You have analysts for your business, why not have an analyst for your tech? It doesn't make us more productive.
I've used many web frameworks over the years and I really wanted to like this Sapper technology, but for the life of me I just don't understand what problem it's trying to solve. Can someone give me a comparison of what comparable technologies it is replacing?
Bitcoin has scaled as designed, but it was not designed to handle this many transactions. As such, some transactions are slower (as designed). If you need fast transactions, use a currency designed for a higher TPS.
Also if this is so error prone, what time window do they consider appropriate for matching logs to usage? Are they accounting for time-zones or are they just going to court and saying "5pm" blah blah blah.

What percentage of the victims of this kind of error are also getting their hard-drives tampered with fake evidence like child porn. There is an incentive on the police department to not back down if they arrest someone - they can get sued - a hard drive full of that would have that lawsuit thrown out very quickly and likely without anyone wanting to pay for an external investigation.
Ethereum Foundation Q4 Roundup
Most comments revolve around JIRA as an issue tracker. I think those miss the point. Atlassian products are never best in any given category (in my opinion); however, they all integrate easily and (almost) out of the box. Choosing JIRA over another product might not be meaningful, but you need source control, chat, build servers, etc. Having them play nicely together without fiddling with tricky settings is a huge benefit.
I'd expect someone other than Amazon to buy Target (if anyone does), and stories like this will make the price seem more justifiable as a defensive move.
Hobo 5 Space Brawl 2018 PC Mac Game Full Free DOwnload Highly Compressed
I tried this on my phone. (Android/Firefox) And I found that it's about .5 second to navigate between pages on hn.svelte.technology And about 1.5-2 seconds with the news.ycombinator.com, on average. Sometimes the straight page load was just as fast (.5 second) and sometimes it sat there while 3-5 seconds.

Yes, the svelte is generally faster on my phone as well. (I am not sure I see the need for a framework for this specific feature though, it's just a js tabs sort of interface. It doesn't seem like a good argument piece for or against this framework)

I did get a possible error, the pages didn't match up after a while. Is the svelte data was being cached in a way that can't refresh properly? I can't debug this as a normal user, does hitting refresh do anything to reload the site content on the svelte site?

Try this, open both sites in different tabs, and navigate around on them a few times, and after awhile, the news.ycombinator will show new content, and the other one will be different. (I am guessing older content, server cache issue? I didn't compare carefully, maybe they started off different and I didn't notice)

It's unlikely to happen. The incentives for both detectives and prosecutors both align with putting someone behind bars. They do know damn well that IP addresses != identity, but if the circumstances are convenient enough they'll press forward with cases regardless to keep their case closure/conviction rates up.

It's the public, the yokels on the jury, that you need to correct the perceptions of. When most of them get their CS understanding from daytime television crime procedurals, you have a lot of work ahead of you.
Unfortunately, social media has revived the witch hunt. People are presumed guilty till proven innocent, within the public domain.

So while this is less likely to become prevalent in criminal cases, this sets up a dual system. In the public sphere you can be affected in numerous deleterious ways because there is no presumption of innocence in the public sphere. Even if you're not on social media. You can be mistakenly doxxed and suffer the consequences.

We will need to come to terms with the implications of both these distinct phenomena which can result in injustice.
I would recommend automating these kind of tests using a test framework. If you do it right, the scripted tests will also serve as a documentation. Look into tools like Robot Framework, Cucumber etc.
Yeah because Samsung is known for a free and open platform. Honestly I bought an S8+ in March and I don't think I'll be getting another Samsung device. They make their own apps for so much there are issues getting their phones to work with things built for Android. I have a car that supports Android Auto and it worked fantastically when I had my Nexus 6p but it has been unreliable and I don't use it anymore thanks to my Samsung device.
Funny, they don't mention Bamboo CI. But probably for the better since there are tons of better tools out there like CircleCI, Shippable, and even Jenkins.
Colons indicate that something is a directive rather than an attribute — so `on:click` is the `on` directive with the `click` event, and `bind:thing` is the `bind` directive with the `thing` data property. The one place we violate that slightly is with `:foo`, which is shorthand for `foo={{foo}}` (since people dislike the ceremony of passing props down between components, and this makes it easier).

{{#if condition}}...{{/if}} tells Svelte something about the structure of your app. {{{condition && '<p>Content</p>'}}} doesn't, and you can't add interactivity to the <p> if it's just a string. Moreover, if `condition` is `undefined`, then that's the string that will get rendered to the DOM. Generally, {{{triples}}} should be used for blobs of HTML you get from data sources, such as a blog post.

If you can overcome your distaste for the computed property dependency injection, you'll hopefully find it's an extremely easy and compact syntax for declaring arbitrarily complex graphs of properties. The advantage of doing it this way is that Svelte can generate, at compile time, very efficient code for updating computed properties without any wasteful runtime dependency tracking. I realise it's slightly controversial (because it's a Svelte idiom, rather than something in JS itself), but for those who have embraced them, computed properties are one of the best features of Svelte!

I think the GP's point might be that the problem is not so much that someone called SWAT on people, leading to their deaths, but rather that the response infrastructure of our current police sytems leads them to enter a residence with what turns out to be excessive force.

SWAT was originally intended to be used for "special" situations, and increasingly (over the past few decades) has been the go-to tool for many police-citizen interactions.

If I were playing video games, and my front door exploded and the entryway were flashbanged, my first response would probably be relatively instinctive (get up, maybe to see WTF is happening in my house), and it's _very probable_ that such responses would make the breaching officers fearful enough that they'd shoot me. I don't have any weapons in my house, have no intention of resisting any police action, but the fact that I might stand up out of my chair, or move, or who-knows-what could easily be misconstrued.

In the article, they said that the man had "reached for his waist" -- I literally do that every time I get up from my computer chair.

I'd much rather that the police did some kind of surveillance first ("oh, hey, looks like a dude playing video games ..."), and verified that the situation matched the emergency described in their dispatch.

This isn't intended to detract from the badness of the SWAT-ter's actions: I hope that (if he indeed caused this) there's some serious consequences. However, it would have been a lot more difficult to cause such mayhem if the police were less trigger-happy.

I read this a few weeks ago when it was linked from comments on a different HN discussion. Definitely describes well the problems facing health care.
Actually, the first world nations that have socialized healthcare systems experience better outcomes than the United States with less per capita spending.[1] Medicare as it is currently formulated is specifically targeted towards at-risk populations that have higher incidences of medical usage than the general population; you can't just apply the exact same per capita spending across the American population. 80 year-olds use more health care than 25 year-olds.
