I don't understand how this is immoral. Everybody knows that everybody is just in it because they hope someone else will come along later and pay more for a coin than they did. Who cares about pump and dump and pyramid schemes? Someone dumb enough to put money she/he can't miss into the system is probably also dumb enough to put said money into a gambling machine or any other scheme (prince from Sudan?). Meanwhile people have fun and true innovations may come out (the crypto of monero/zcash combined with the master-node structure of DASH or a Tangle based system like IOTA). Why all the emotion? Literally everywhere on the internet and classic media people say: Don't do it, it's a bubble. If people can't listen, they need to feel, if you don't allow people to feel they become unhappy anyway, they may even be driven to TOR based decentralized exchanges where they are even more likely to get schemed.

I don't see how your description of the China situation restores your point that governments are becoming irrelevant. China is deploying facial recognition and AI to figure out who you know and who's helping you and in a cashless society they can penalize you by cutting off your cards and those of people who try to still help you.

> Decentralization just doesn't work too well in practice for whatever reason.

Because it's inconvenient. Centralisation is convenient, it gives a single discovery and synchronisation point. Decentralisation makes discovery much more difficult, and requires adding separate synchronisation mechanisms. It generates friction and cognitive overhead.

Even more so for "side-services". Sure your VCS is nominally decentralised[0], but what about bug reports? Contributions? Notes & docs? There were distributed bug trackers efforts back in the early 10s but… they didn't really work IME, they were not convenient or practical.

[0] though even without a single giant point of failure, most project would still have a single canonical master copy, a really mesh/distributed contribution system is very rare (Linux's tree of integrators/forks is probably the closest?) and none of the current VCS makes mesh/point-to-point collaborations really convenient
This describes exactly how it is for me, and I've never been able to put it in to words until now.

Just tell the programmer it's only for use in the company's China offices.

Many companies openly discuss their countermeasures to protect their customer and internal data from lawful requests from the Chinese government. I'm not saying it's right or wrong, just that it's not a secret.

And then once the programmer writes it, it's a piece of cake to make it do the same thing in Canada.
The first few graphs use the interactive [Stack Overflow Trends](http://insights.stackoverflow.com/trends) tool, which is all public data. This is useful since it lets readers modify the graphs (for example, to add a few more tags to the comparison).

The later graphs use data that's already not public (what tags users visit together, and what countries tags are visited from), so there's no reason not to use visits instead.

The graphs for visits over time do look very similar (in general question traffic by tag roughly matches questions asked, but as a slightly lagging indicator)

Same here, very well worded. That's the case for me in maybe 3/4 dreams. The more emotionally intense ones have that "now" feeling though.

Search online for some practices to help induce lucid dreams. There are things that could help. For example, creating a habit throughout the day to check if you're dreaming. e.g. look in the mirror and ask if it's a dream, or look at a clock and ask if its a dream.

If you create this habit in normal life, the idea is that it will carry over to your dreams. Just realizing a dream is a dream should propel you into lucidity. Dreams rarely seem to get reflections and clocks right.

I don't worry about Github deleting my stuff. Every single developer has a copy of all of the repos they work on. Delete it from Github and any one of us can just push it somewhere else. That's one of the great things about git.

Them going down is still a problem if you're using Github as part of your daily development or deployment process, of course.

The intellectual dishonesty in the commentary on those screencaps is embarassing (e.g., "#DiversityAtGoogle means using company resources to recruit for #Antifa."). She seems not just willing but intent on taking them out of context. She even misquotes the complaint (https://twitter.com/mjaeckel/status/950446906043400194) to make it seem worse.

This entire lawsuit seems predicated on the idea that people having non-conservative views is somehow discrimination against conservatives.

It's calvinball as a legal theory.

Damore made such arguments in his manifesto, and based them on research that he utterly misinterpreted. While the cited post may be glib, it is actually backed by solid research on innovation and diversity of experience and thought (e.g., intellectual, racial, gender, etc.). Under Damore's own original argument that he was there shouldn't be any problem with saying that.

Damore was fired for making google look bad, not for his beliefs, and not even for being an obnoxious coworker.

I didn't make that claim with regard to China, but I see your point. I've also never been to mainland China, so I don't really know how things are there.
GitLab CI is really sweet, because you deploy your own runners (workers) whereever you want. Downside is, the control is not a standalone CI app but a part of GitLab (or I'm unaware about something).

Drone is very promising but last time I've checked the documentation had some holes in it. The website is "coming soon" and IIRC it's like this for quite a long while.

I'm unaware about any CIs that are usable with local repos. Would be neat to just run a local command and it would spawn a worker somewhere (local or through a remote coordinator) and run the tests on whatever I have in the working tree, just like it happens with centralized repo+CI combos.
It's too frequent I find myself doing `git commit -m 'Fix that stupid typo in previous commit'`.
But locking out all users by office? I can't think of a legitimate use case for that. Locking/wiping devices of people who left the company is standard but why for a whole office? Robbery doesn't really apply, either they do it when no one's in the office (devices locked anyway) or you won't be able to call HQ.
WatchESPN app (Included with a standard cable subscription) has probably been the absolute worst streaming platform I've used from a performance standpoint.

Now - the interface is probably not a huge priority for Disney/ESPN due to it being a sidecar to what is the normal ESPN format (Television). Having said that though - they have been making moves to push/advertise people to use the app and have offered content exclusive to the app itself (Huge simulcast during the CFB National Championship) yet the application is littered with inconsistent video quality, frequent drops, crashes, and overall poor UI.

Could just be me or my platform of choice or even my internet but i've tested the app/website on a desktop PC (win10), XboxOne, Android TV, iOS. All shit.

Reposting this (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16124702) as top-level comment, because I think it is worth it:

The git-dit project (https://github.com/neithernut/git-dit) provides a distributed issue tracking functionality inside git.

It does this without cluttering the repository with unneeded files, gives the possibility for having tree-like conversation (including merging conversations), referencing issues, linking to commits and so on.
It is even possible to host the issues in another repository as the code (if that is wanted) or having one repository of issues for several projects / moving issues from one repository to another.

There is only a CLI as of today. I hear that there is some effort on building a (view-only) web frontend for it, though I don't know much about its progress. Maybe asking the maintainer would be an idea.

What's also missing is a way to give users of the tool access to a repository where they can submit issues (which then could also be used by a web/gui frontend for the tool). This is not the domain of git-dit itself, but a solution needs to be found. One idea would be a publish repo (where everyone can push) which automatically does some sanity-verification on the issues and forwards them to the maintainers repository... or something like that.
Also integration/mappers to/from other services (gitlab, github) are missing and so is mail->git-dit integration (posting issues from a mailinglist automagically into the issues repository).

Also, https://github.com/vitiral/artifact/ is a really nice tool to do planning of an application or library inside a git repository. I am currently starting using it in imag (https://imag-pim.org) and it is really wonderful. The author currently does a reimplementation of its core functionality to make it even more powerful.
I've learned to induce lucid dreams somewhat reliably. For this I need to be physically tired but mentally awake. This usually works 30 min after waking up in the morning or when taking a nap in the afternoon. I then try to stay mentally awake while I realize that my body falls asleep. At some point my mind slips into a dream like mode, but I'm not dreaming of anything. At this point if I move myself, only my dream body moves, not my real body. This is when I "stabalise" the lucid dream by spinning my dream body around quickly. I think this kind of gives my mind the time to make up a dream in which I can move around. Otherwise I will wake up or lose control over the dream.

It's crucial that in the time your body falls asleep, you don't make any voluntary movements (just as if you were to fall asleep normally). I've also read about a trick that you can help you stay mentally awake. You have to pretend as if you were tapping with your index and middle finger, but only just so that they don't actually move. This also helps you realize when your body falls asleep. I'd say WBTB (Wake back to bed) is the most reliable method for lucid dreams.

Financial institutions are not a product of the free market — they are heavily regulated by government.

On top of that, the currency that has been given legal tender status by government, and the currency used as the basis for calculating capital gains tax, just happens to be issued by the central bank that’s willing to monetize the government’s debt. What a peculiar coincidence.

I see it too, I even have family asking for spare accounts on exchanges! All exchanges are overloaded, not allowing for new accounts, it's crazy.. I just keep telling them: treat it like a casino, don't put money in you can't live without, say goodbye to your money at day 1.

That said, IOTA is actually pretty interesting from a technical standpoint, you should read about the Tangle ;)

I don't understand where you see a conflict.

> are distinct from anything discovered in the solar system.

Well, they just discovered it so that should be 'discovered so far'.

And how much do we know about the solar system to begin with, if it took this long to analyze a rock that was on the planet to begin with it stands to reason there will be many rocks like it and possibly others entirely unlike it in the rest of the solar system.
Seems like this could be fixed fairly easily with a set of gatekeeper options. When a group gets created, you could have the option of making the group Public (anyone can join), Invite-Only (anyone can join with an invitation from someone already in the group), or Vetted (requires an invitation to join and the person who made the group must approve each person who tries to join).

That way, you account for varying levels of paranoia.

Nice analogy, I wouldn't have thought of that. But I'm unconvinced that this is a good measure of software complexity; for one, there are only three nontrivial complexity levels (2, 3, 4).

But it's also unstable: a circle with an odd number of nodes (e.g. a triangle) requires three colours, while a circle with an even number of nodes needs only two, even though both models seem similarly complex.

Maybe my experience is different than others, but when I dream lucidly it is fun but my dreams lose a lot of spontaneity and richness because I realize I am in control of everything in the dream.

I suspect this is because the conscious mind is slow and single threaded compared to the unconscious mind which is faster and multithreaded. In a dream where the mind is in control of both the experiencing 'self' and all aspects of the environment, this difference causes a real loss in fidelity.

Thus, I don't understand the obsession with lucid dreaming and I really don't understand why people would want to do it every time they dream.
Less than 1% sounds high to me. If everything on the phone used 0.3-7%, it adds up pretty quickly.
Google Quietly Buys U.K. Sound Tech Startup Redux
I understand and appreciate the analogy the author made. I wish more people thought about code complexity from first principles.

That being said, I doubt chromatic number is the right measure for software dependency graphs. Especially when there are hundreds of graph complexity metrics (tree-width, centrality measures, measures based on cuts and flows, etc.). Even just now for the first time I saw this thing called cyclomatic complexity: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclomatic_complexity

I'd be interested to hear from someone who has experience applying graph metrics to static code analysis in practice. What's useful and informative?
It's not a cryptocurrency in the sense that it is centralized and pre-mined by a central authority who could mine even more whenever it feels like it just like fiat. Still, it's an improvement on swift if it succeeds but that would not be a "cryptocurrency success" in my opinion.

That's hard to see in the U.S., with the Republican's shift far to the right and overwhelming political domination (control of the White House, both houses of Congress, the Supreme Court, and in over 30 state both houses and the Governor's mansion), and with neo-fascism and white nationalism, once way beyond the pale, now trendy.

Also it's hard to see in Europe, where neo-fascist and white nationalist parties actually have seats in national legislatures, even run some executive branches, and include the Foreign Minister of the UK.
