> Not at all? You obviously don't understand what a bitcoin debit card is

I don't really know if that kind of condescension is called for. I know enough about BTC and general credit/debit card mechanics. I know, for one, that credit cards have very low margins as a percentage of volume processed. I figured that the mechanics of a BTC transaction would be similar to a standard forex conversion, which I would not expect to be 1:1 with actual transactions, but from a hedged reserve (which I assume would be very very difficult to accomplish with BTC volatility, but also possibly inevitable given BTC network transaction rate limitations, as card transaction rates scaled up). Also, though debit and credit differ, wouldn't you have to take some degree of fraud and chargeback risk into account on both sides of the transaction? It's not that these are technically insurmountable, but - back to my original point - it seems like a bad business given the overhead and peoples' expectations around transaction fee rates.
Very well written but I’m afraid this is the natural outcome when someone who doesn’t truly love tech gets into the tech industry. Sure, office culture is banal in the extreme but if you have a lifelong passion to be the best developer possible, getting paid to code is not such an existentially crushing experience.

I think we should question if blindly pushing people into tech actually works/is a good idea or if it’s just a recipe for disaster for all involved.

Take a quick look at a graph of population growth from 1870-2015. It has an incredibly steep curve. Now think about how that graph will look from 2015-2100. Likely, it will be drastically flatter.

Wouldn't this have a huge effect on real estate -- indeed, isn't that population graph the primary driver of what happens in the real estate market?

I'm not sure the last century provides a meaningful guide here.
What you want is better temporal resolution, better spacial resolution, a less restrictive environment and a more direct measure of activity. The indirect BOLD signal has a long delay and is hard to accurately separate from noise. The spatial resolution of fMRI is a fraction of that achievable by clinical imaging and the MR environment is very expensive, restrictive and generally unhelpful for many experiments.

I really, really enjoy reading poetry, which feels incredibly complementary to writing computer code, to me. But somehow I do a terrible job keeping up with new stuff that's published each year. So I find pieces like this, by Dan Chiasson of The New Yorker, super valuable.

Commercially successful but mediocre. Dialog in X-Men is still widely mocked (Whedon and Singer), X-Men 3 was horrible, Abrams has never made a great movie (getting the Trek and Wars franchises is a lot of help). I find very little about what Whedon writes believable (maybe that's why he does superhero movies). It's all lowest common denominator snark so they can make a billion dollars.

Not sure why am going after you on this, but surely there are better examples than those guys.

2018 - 18 = 2000

Maybe 2001 since GP says "nearly 18 years."
You can say those things, but if I feel judged I know it's hard for me to really hear the person who's judging me. I guess it depends on your goal. If you want to make people who agree with you feel comfortable, maybe judgements would serve that purpose. But if you want people to change their behavior, I'm not sure I've seen blanket judgements like that have success.
> So then every single thing that pretty much every single monopolist has done is totally fine since, you know, it wasn't genocide?

What? I didn't say that it was "fine". I'm just trying to get a handle on the scope here. When I think of things that are morally reprehensible, I think of the things I mentioned in my post.

Clearly, I don't think Uber is there, so I disagree with the notion that they acted in a "morally reprehensible" way.

Do I think that they behaved unethically, even criminally so? Yes, I think that you can make a strong case for that.

Maybe I'm making a semantic argument? If so, I think I'm getting weary of our constant 24/7 media stream of outrage, and for that I apologize since that's neither here nor there...

> Of course this doesn't justify mistreatment. But it puts in perspective the idea that turning vegetarian, and banning meat would be good for those animals in question. It wouldn't: they wouldn't be alive in the first place.

It's highly arguable whether they are better off being "alive", when this "aliveness" is so far off what they are genetically programmed to enjoy as a normal life.

For example, if an alien species took over Earth's biosphere and treated humans like we treat cows, raising them in overcrowded pens, feeding them food that occasionally contains human meat, forcefully inseminating the females every year and separating them from their young 24 hours after birth, then killing the females when they reach their mid-twenties because their fertility drops, and basically using a tiny proportion of males to make sperm and slaughtering the rest at a young age... would you make the argument that there's a two-way relationship there? That humans are benefitting in some way?

Even if they took these domesticated humans and spread them to the stars, ensuring their survival for millions of years, and protection from other predator alien species, so long as these "humans" were treated in this way we would not consider this to be beneficial to our species in any way. At least I wouldn't: better extinction than such a "life".

Obviously we can't ask the cows what they would prefer (or perhaps we can, we just don't have much interest in figuring out how to do it). If we did ask them, though, I doubt they'd see this relationship as beneficial to them in any way.
When you say fail, what happens?

If you mean you can't call them, yes, it's shared libs, they aren't in the address space yet.
If you mean something else (IE the symbol info is wrong), you can debug what is going on as follows:

The logic for when it builds minimal symbol tables, converting them to partial symbol tables, and then full symbol tables, is incredibly convoluted.

In theory, needing a full symbol with type info should just cause the right thing to happen lazily.

In practice, it does not.

You can debug what is going on by doing this:

(gdb) set debug symbol-lookup 1
(gdb) set debug symtab-create 1
(gdb) file <your executable>
(gdb) p strcmp("foo", "bar")
<look at output>
(gdb) b main
(gdb) p strcmp
<look at output>

This is going to produce a truly ridiculous amount of output on a large executable (so i'd use a minimal one :P), but by comparing the output you get trying to use the symbol before and after "b main" should give you some idea what is going on.
It depends on the setup; if you're running go-ipfs, the node is a program that runs on your computer and becomes available in your browser, either through its IP address (yours, optionally public with proper network setup) or through the ipfs.io domain, which access the entire network and can pull from any node that's connected, which includes your own.

That's just the Go implementation though, there's an implementation entirely in JavaScript, and it would be more than plausible to bake the service into a browser bundle so it works like you describe. However, I believe there's strength in separation personally. The acts of hosting an IPFS gateway, and accessing IPFS content through a gateway, are separate.

If you just produced an audio file containing silence and marketed it as a song you would be fine. The only way you would be found infringing is if they could somehow prove that you copied Cage's silence (or produced your silence using the "score" to Cage's silence) instead of independently composing and producing your own silence. Basically the only way that can happen is if you are dumb enough to actually admit that you copied Cage's silence.

Ask HN: Do you pay interest on your kid's piggybank?
I've been toying with the idea of explaining savings and interest rates to my kid. Currently, she just accrues money in a jar, so she's basically incentivized to spend it as soon as she gets it. The only point in saving a bit more is to buy a more expensive toy.

I see banks like Capital One have a kids savings account (1% APY), but I think this is going to be too virtual, it's going to make it look like the money just disappears and the interest rates are never going to materialize in a meaningful way.

So I'm thinking of an alternative, like at the beginning of every month give 10% of what is in the piggybank (typically a couple $). This would make it very concrete that it makes sense to save and not just spend. Although I also don't want to give unrealistic expectations about real life savings and disincentivize working for money.
You can basically just feed the various inputs in to a hash function. Of course, this imposes an upper bound on the amount of entropy if the output in the form of the length of the hash function output, but this is rarely an issue in practice.

Edit: Of course, this introduces the assumption that your hash function is secure, but again, not a problem in practice.

> Williams was great in just about anything he was ever in, I wouldn't attribute that to Nolan.

I don't know, I might. You don't even see Finch for half the film, only hear him, and the villain left an impression on me not unlike Kiefer Sutherland's villain in Phone Booth (an otherwise unremarkable film). I can't think of another villain role that Robin Williams performed, probably because nobody was brave enough to take that kind of risk with a heavyweight positive actor -- Insomnia came out a few years after Good Will Hunting and Dead Poets Society, which helped establish his mastery of drama, but nobody wanted to make him the bad guy. Nolan did, and it was very satisfying to watch.

(I take that back, One Hour Photo was great, too. I knew I was forgetting one.)
Why would employees need access to client API keys, as opposed to just client ID?

Furthermore, this seems to indicate that the API keys are not hashed. I would expect some bits of the API key to work as an identifier and the rest of the bits treated as secret material (properly hashed).

> Does it allow you to download APKs and update them without a Google account?

No, Google Play can't be accessed anonymously (the whole point of all Google services is to coerce you into signing up for an account, so you can be tracked). You can (and should), however, create a throw away account exclusively for Raccoon.

> Can you use it to avoid installing anything Google-related on a phone?

Yes, Raccoon gives you the APK, which you can then sideload on your phone. Unless the app in question depends on something Google related, you are good to go.
Hi there,

This is Chris from the Mailgun team. I'm sorry that this happened, this shouldn't have been the case. I'd be happy to help rectify this issue, would you be able to send an email to help@mailgun.com with details so I can review?
While that's true, just blindly mixing all you've got is a bad idea. Let's say you have "randomness" sources A, B, C and D, and you just use A+B+C+D. Now an attacker has total control over D. Then she could adaptively feed you with a D value that is canceling out A, B and C. Result is deterministic output.

Just adding in more is not always good. You need to trust every source. Or more precisely: You need at least one source in the mix that an attacker can't predict/read out.
You can do real-time fMRI for relatively simple tasks. Saying a word, tapping a finger, moving the tongue. “Real-time” is the wrong phrasing as the data builds up over several runs but you see it as it builds and get something useful a minute of two into acquisition.

Since my 8 & 10 year old daughters can not just sit through the entire film, but love it, I disagree. I don’t think audiences have changed that much, what I meant is I think the story is eternal and it’s filming can’t be improved by mortal man.

Maybe when we have real 3D or a medium that allows the audience to experience other senses, maybe it could be told better. But more likely it won’t be a good story for that medium.

> This ideal of a higher density residential society with lots of landlords that is popular on HN right now is a terrible future. Landlords want one thing — maximum return on assets. That means high cost, minimum possible opex.

How is that different from what homeowners want? Don't homeowners already block legislation that would allow higher density units to be built because it would decrease the value of their homes?

That was pretty cool to read. I always like hearing about the ways a few people can influence something so widespread. I remember reading a few RNS .NFO files back in the day.

Back from the days when it used to take longer to download an album of shitty quality .mp3 files than it does to download a 4k movie today.
Easy there tiger.

The record will probably remain broken while women spend huge amounts of time building up education and careers and then have an unfair additional burden of crap to deal with that their male peers don't.

I don't see how it sounds stupid (maybe I'm THAT stupid) to say that men who don't face the results of misogyny in the same way as their female colleagues are generally less inclined to even think it's an issue or to put effort into doing anything about it.

Nothing at all I wrote said "A man did something bad, you're a man, therefore you're responsible".

A more accurate reading would be;

1. Culture is complex and we are all a part of it.
2. Our current culture has some elements of misogyny that unfairly impact women in the workplace.
3. We can all contribute to improving things even if it doesn't affect us directly.

Now, point 3 depends on agreement that there is a problem so not sure if you agree with that or not.

I think the challenge is thinking of the issue as a cultural issue rather than on an isolated individual basis. When thinking about it while limiting the scope to a single individual then you think that person is either good or bad, and most people assume they're not the bad ones, so they get defensive if they think someone is lumping them in with the bad people.

Culture is complex and more nuance is required. It takes an open mind to realize that you may have biases that contribute to the issue, such as the second example on the site, with the elementary school teachers. The original site author, as well as the linked NY times article, do not say all those teachers are terrible misogynists at all because that isn't the point.

JPMorgan Chase could just as well say it issues mortgages and accepts deposits as a service to the country, that its retail operation is a cost centre for the real business of this or that.

When people vote, the machines they use record votes electronically and on tape. However, when summing up the votes, only the electronic portion is tallied up by removing a physical memory device and plugging them in to another special machine that does the summation.

This woman wants access to the actual physical tapes which have been stored, in order to do a statistical sampling of them in order to say how statistically likely the electronic tally was. (Physically counting the tapes by hand is not practical)

The courts are considering barring her again from access to the tapes.

If the electronic portion was highly statistically unlikely, then there are a lot of places the vote could have been tampered: tallying machines, individual voting machines, memory cartridges, physical transport of memory cartridges, even the paper tapes themselves, etc.
