"Five years ago, we lost Aaron Swartz. None should rest, for still, there is no peace."

And Arron's mum:

"RIP my darling boy. It's been 5 years. If you do one thing today, honor Aaron's memory by calling your Senators and Representatives in Congress and begging them to support #Aaron'sLaw to reform the CFAA (Computer Fraud and Abuse Act)."

I still mourn for what we lost. Aaron was only at the start, and he'd already done so much.

Facebook’s startling new ambition is to shrink
Our current social welfare programs actively discourage people from saving money to get out of poverty. If you have more than 2,000$ in your bank account you are disqualified from reviving EBT in many states. So people either have to save and hide or lie about their money or get cut off the second their able to build their own safety net. Predatory lending and an inability to plan beyond their immediate survival also incentives what could be considered bad financial decisions. While start ups might in theory help buffer some of the negatives what objectively is needed is opportunities and examples of alternative means of livelihoods. People don't generally sit around and have babies because they don't have anything better to do, although I'm sure sex out of boredom does result in some unplanned pregnancies.
Well what keeps your country from uplifting itself?

My own country is one of the safest, wealthiest and politically stable on the planet but just a hundred years ago there were slums with child prostitution and cholera. As recent as the 1950s there were people LITERALLY living in holes under the ground.
It remaining like that for 40 minutes is a bad sign, but it being easy to issue a warning seems reasonable (the counter-story is "No warning of the genuine threat was issued, due to the process for doing so being too involved/difficult").

Affecfive empathy is not necessarily the best thing for therapy or coaching, yet it is often what a person craves for.

Both anti-social personality disorder and narcissistic personality disorder has reduced or no affective empathy and often high cognitive empathy. However, I would be more inclined to work with the "pro-social" ASD than someone with NPD. Someone with NPD is incapable of thinking beyond themselves while someone with ASD is willing to entertain mutually beneficial arrangements.

You could swing the opposite way too. Someone on the autism spectrum would have reduced cognitive empathy yet high affective empathy. They tend to care more, but only after understanding, and then the emotion tends to be more intense.

Likewise, there are people who feel deeply what everyone else is feeling to the point where they lost their center and and is unable to function as an individual.

The main point I was making is that people tend to confuse one type of empathy for another. And the other is that, what is a good test is if you trust the other person or AI to have yout best interest at heart.
We are real QA heavy right now with non FTEs. I'm not saying they don't bring value, but the types of things they are QAing now is both new functionality and regression testing. I can't think of any good reason that regression testing shouldn't be completely automated.

You are correct, that is the simplest way.

What did I not disclose in the article is that I also wanted somehow to name data.

I wanted this because I also know that in the configuration file, expect IP addressed I will also need to store sleep duration.

I just find it more articulated if I also have a name for data.

Now I use https://github.com/pasztorpisti/json-cfg for storing configuration as JSON. json-cfg has the ability to add comments to JSON file.
Arbitrary would be an understatement. It is downright insane

Mine also let's you chose a maximum amount that can be charged to the temporary card number. I usually add 10% or 20% extra to the expected amount so that unexpected taxes or shipping costs don't block the whole transaction.

I really love the feeling of safety that I get from chosing the max amount, being sure that I won't be overcharged.
Perhaps you need to get back to my original comment and then drill down. The "sentiment" is obvious. I see no reason to repeat what was already stating the obvious.

In short: Actions speak louder than words. And if "shithole" is going to raise a ruckus, then where is the ruckus for the shitholes our actions are creating? Why is there silence for death and outrage for a word? How is that not hypocritical? The fact that you're wanting to push back only reaffirms my point. That is: We. Are. Lost. And at the mercy of a compass-less MSM.

I hope that helps. Issue closed.
Was thinking of using them to hire for my company and you just talked me out of it.
Scarcity still exists because the fork creates another coin than the original but a fork. Keep in mind that scarcity is due to trackability (history).
Thanks, and great job by the way. Shooting you an email.
I use LinkedIn by simply adding whoever seems interesting, without adding an intro or note to the request. I reach out only when it seems I need their services, for example if I want to work at the company they work for. LinkedIn also has the advantage of being exponential in the connections you can have due to second and third order connections; when I add one person I also add their entire network.

That example is a tweet, which the syntax and NER models haven't been trained on. You can make calls to `nlp.update()` to improve it on your own data. We also have an annotation tool, https://prodi.gy , to more quickly create training data.

(I'm the author of spaCy, not this Docker container.)
I was bored this Sunday so I did this. What do you think?

It uses argon2 instead of scrypt as hash function, argon2 is supposed to be safer. I did not write my own crypto. There's also a golang version that is much faster. MindWallet is heavily based on the great MemWallet project itself inspired by WarpWallet whose authors are of keybase.io and okcupid fame.

Estimates of the loss of life in just Russia and China in the first 6 months after a nuclear exchange: 380 million. Source: RAND (http://www.nybooks.com/articles/2018/01/18/daniel-ellsberg-n...).

"Moscow alone was targeted with at least eighty nuclear weapons, and every Russian city with a population greater than 25,000 would be hit by at least one."

And that was the December 1960 plan.
It doesn't work like that in the case of Elm. You can implement the Elm architecture with React, Redux and Redux-saga, but that's just a poor imitation of the API.

The point of Elm is not just the architecture, it's the language that allows you to write robust websites with little to no debugging necessary, all maintaining that robustness no matter how much you extend, tweak and refactor the codebase without having to be an expert in the language.

"Zero runtime exceptions" is no exaggeration, it's a reality in practice guaranteed by the compiler, meaning "after all it's compiled to js" makes no sense.

Reminds me of a half-jokey comment I saw a few times after one of the more recent London attacks: Non-Londoners were desperately avoiding central London; Londoners were complaining the Tube was delayed.
Good mechanical switches have a kind of mechanical haptic feedback that lets you know with a click, that your keystroke has registered, without bottoming out the key.
LinkedIn is a good tool. The recruitment email aspect is definitely quite annoying, but please consider using an alternative email address so you don't get spammed, if that's one of the things you find problematic. It's an easy solution to that (you can also disable notification). I always use separate email addresses to keep my sanity (one for private, one for bank, one for useless stuff, one for mailing list, one for tech, one for school, one for utility bills, and a couple more).

I often use LinkedIn to check out famous people's credentials because I am generally curious about their backgrounds. From time to time I do get a "hello" from really big SV companies, otherwise I would have a hard time to get an initial interview without a LinkedIn profile. I am sure they send like 10,000 requests every month, but it still help speeds the progress with a recruiter directly reaching out to you.

But there was an embarrassing anecdote, something a lot of users had faced before. One day I was on LinkedIn and it asked me whether I want to import contacts, I hit "no thanks", but I think there was another confirmation which I pressed "next" and LinkedIn sent out an invitation to everyone in my email contact list, including many mailing lists. Some mailing lists rejected the email, but some let the email through its filter.
Andy Pavlo's lectures are one of the best database internals resources available for free on the web.
Two centuries is somewhat arbitrary, because there are so many assumptions in the notion of "large scale nuclear conflict" as is. Areas that aren't direct targets of nuclear weaponry will still suffer major setbacks, as supply chains for various goods and resources are disrupted. Present day problems, like hunger, access to medical care, and safe drinking water would just become magnified. For example, a nuclear conflict could potentially cascade into a much more dangerous famine, because supply for modern pesticides and agro-chemicals is temporarily destroyed. Supply chains for antibiotics could be disrupted, resulting in outbreaks of various preventable illnesses. If you total all the possibilities up, I suspect the secondary impacts of nuclear conflict would be worse than the actual warfare.

> A GTX1070 costs about $800.

Where on earth are you getting that statistic? Newegg sells GTX 1070 ti's for ~500 when they are in stock. Same with bhphotovideo.

Depending on what coin you mine you can net $8-10 dollars a day - then exchange it to ETH/LTC/XMR/etc.

Also factoring in the growth rate of the exchanged currency the ROI on that is less than 3 months.

This comment crosses into a nationalistic swipe, which is not allowed here, so please don't do it again.
I meant data inside the text file.

Anyway, this is more question of preference :-)
Yeah but you're forever capped at meager returns.

As soon as a coin's value increases, more mining hash power enters the scene and difficulty shoots up (ruining your profit margin). You then swap to another coin, eventually the same thing happens. Rinse, repeat.

During all of this, you still have to make back your initial investment on the GPUs and power, then you have usually another 6-9 months max before your entire rig is too outdated and you have to start again buying newer, faster cards (which will then take you another 3-5 months just to earn back your cost).

Just seems a very painful and slow way to cash in on the crypto bonanza (which isn't going to last forever).
Upcoin New Cryptocurrency Exchange $500 Off Fees
I hope you are merely expressing something really, really badly. Because this sounds like emotionally abusive, unhealthy behavior being justified as some kind of good preparation for a dog-eat-dog world.
I've often heard that the US Dollar gets its value in part because it is the only thing you can use to pay taxes. And even if only a small percentage of US Dollars is used to pay taxes, that is enough to drive the rest of the value.

When someone gets hit with a crypto virus, if they don't have backups then the only way of getting their data back is to pay the ransom using cryptocurrency. And participation in black markets is based on the same. So even if that is overall only a small percentage of the use of cryptocurrency, it should be enough to drive at least part of its ongoing value.

So my question is, does this idea (or either idea) have any merit?
Calling it “defence” is almost Orwellian... when the majority of the budget is spent on attack and offence in other countries?
The USA has contributed to the development of plenty of flourishing economies. Panama is a rich nation thanks in large part to international cargo shipment. American tourists spend heavily in several other Latin American and Caribbean economies. South Korea is one of the most highly developed nations in the world, despite having been relatively poor prior to the Korean War. Canada and Mexico have benefited for years from NAFTA. World War 2 would have been very different for the Allies if it weren't for American weaponry and involvement. NATO may not have withstood the Cold War were it not for American might.

Maybe you can give some examples to support the narrative of Americans creating poor conditions in non-European countries. It's certainly not Afghanistan, which had been a warzone for a long time before 9/11, which provoked American involvement. And though it's possible, it's hard to argue that Iraqi instability was the sole result of American invasion, as Saddam had massacred several hundred thousand of his own citizens and was trying to change the ethnic makeup of northern Iraq to dampen Kurdish separatism.

So I'm not sure to which countries you are referring.

If there’s no need for front end devs anymore does that mean apps will be designed in very utilitarian, command line like interfaces with no frills?

That might actually be pleasant.
Speaking as someone who grew up in India, I've noticed a very real lack of understanding of non-western countries by Western media (specifically India, but I'm guessing if there is so much misunderstanding about an English speaking country, probably more so about other non-English speaking ones). I was rather appalled by articles in NYT, Times and Economist in particular. Sometimes even BBC, although that usually got it mostly right.

I have noticed that NYT has become a LOT better in its coverage of India recently. I wonder if that's because they've hired quality talent in the country? Whatever the reason, I'm glad for that change.
There aren't any. That's what the article was about: The order of the transactions in a block.

It occurs to me that we have the 6502 -> monster 6502 -> 'tube' 6502? Then we could have 705 -> transistor 705 -> FPGA version? Sort of like playing Mozart in different styles.

But I really liked the giant programmer console for the machine. Not sure why but that sort of design ethos calls to me some how.
There's an awful lot of "probably"s in your comment.

A wallet doesn't need to report anything because it's a wallet. Requiring a wallet to report "holdings and earnings" would be like requiring a safe to report the same information. And many users do report holdings to the IRS or any other agency as needed.

But even if they didn't, this should still be pursued. A lot of criminals use cars, does that mean the police shouldn't look into car thefts?
I read Tribes yesterday: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/28119237-tribe

It’s an up and down sort of book — 6/10, imo — but it makes some interesting connections with the social past of homo sapiens and the tendency of contemporary society to remove the individual from their community (often due to financial independence) countering more than 1m years of human experience.

A couple of interesting quotes:

“Modern society has perfected the art of making people not feel necessary.”

“We are not a good society. We are an anti-human society. We are not good to each other. Our tribalism is to an extremely narrow group of people: children; spouse, perhaps parents. Our society is alienating, technical, cold, and mystifying. Our fundamental desire is to be close to others, and our society does not allow for that."
Ask HN: Best way/resources to learn Excel?
I am an average Excel user. Work and whatnot necessitate that I need to get closer to expert level, particularly with regard to pivot tables and pulling data from one sheet/column/row And feeding it into other places as a sum, percentage, ratio, etc.

I would prefer an actual course with structure and a coherent curriculum instead of random YouTube videos. I know there was a startup here about 8 months ago touting Excel training. Any suggestions? Thank you.
> "The currency" is not a subject and "India" is not an object.

But "subject" and "object" is for indicating the Subject-Verb-Predicate (object) of the sentence and not as in literal object ?
As a complete outsider to this conversation who has gotten caught up in the fearmongering mentioned, but who is too ignorant to really have strong opinions either way, thanks for having this conversation.

It's scary, being in the Too Much Information age. It feels so easy to be misled when it's hard to devote the time to properly understand complex topics like this.

Taking this in good faith (I didn’t downvote you :-) I’ll take a stab at responding:

I was curious as to whether there might be historical or cultural factors in play beyond the immediate political tensions. It’s also worth pointing out that I live in the UK and whilst we get regular news headlines on the state of US politics we’re somewhat removed from much of the immediate political tension. Generalising perhaps, but I also feel less emotionally involved than my US-based acquaintances as a result.
I don’t know, if any of those things can expose an API or provide some kind of IoT interface I could see backend skills being very useful.

I figure if most data centers are targeted and destroyed people will probably have to host servers on their own local machines, which at least requires a DevOps person in each community.

Note, this ranking is based on number of new GitHub stars in 2017. Vue.js currently has ~79k stars and, number two on the list, React has ~85k stars. Vue.js is poised to surpass React this year in number of GitHub stars. Whatever that is worth.

It's great to see Vue.js getting so much love. I've been extolling it's virtue on HN and elsewhere for years now. The fact that it has gained so much traction and is not the baby of one of the big Internet megacorps is a testament to it's genuine quality as a frontend Web framework. After many devs finally realized that Angular sucked even though, or especially because, it was backed by Google, it was sad to see the same people jump on to the React bandwagon, in a large part, because it was backed by Facebook. There are legitimate reasons for liking React but a lot of its adoption has been due to FOMO. Vue.js stands on its own.
My opinion is that killing and subjugating people is wrong, regardless of your motivation for doing so, unless your motivation is to stop people from killing and subjugating other people.

In general, I'm not comfortable speculating about various groups' motivation for mass killing and subjugation and then ranking those instances of mass murder based on the purity of their supposed motivation. That entire exercise seems incredibly silly to me.

I think it's easier to talk about motivation when we're discussing crimes committed by individuals, but even then, I think it's something courts should do less of.
Life was good there because ignorance is bliss. East Germans didn't know what a BMW or Munich shopping street looked like.

There's one secret ingredient to socialism: it requires a well run capitalist economy to afford it long term. Something the DDR never cracked. By the 1970s every BRD worker owned a car and television. And the rest is history.
>"In this way, Proof of Work forces miners to constantly re-invest revenue." (the OP) //

Classic capitalist view. It's not that miners are forced to reinvest, if all miners were satisfied with the status quo then it could continue and each miner would get the same returns - depending on the structure of the system, greater demand could even drive hash value up.

But miners aren't satisfied, they want more, and new miners want a go at picking from the money tree. So the available pickings get higher up (require more resource expenditure). In theory, and often practically, it drives optimisation. Ultimately the return should be so low as to match safe investment returns.

It seems it should be possibly to design a system such the the coin holders can effectively own the means of hash production, which would keep value in the system.
