>What we can do is judge him from his actions. Actions are proof of what he's doing.

It's very easy to give something you have an abundance of. I don't see how his good is better than other rich peoples, just because we know about it? Because it's front page news? That makes it "good"?

I am not willing to jump to the conclusion his motives are altruistic for these reasons alone.

Do you know if he is getting a kick back from this payment? Or preferential treatment of some kind? What if he is allowed to hide some heinous acts in Nigeria because of this payment? And it's actually a bribe? Considering how the world works, this seems a more likely explanation.

Again, how do you know this is a "good" thing that he paid someone's debt? I mean, in truly absolute terms? I don't see how it's possible to "know". I think you can guess and assume, that is all.

Look up the financial crises in many other countries, why did he help only Nigeria? This just seems suspicious to me. Perhaps I am unreasonably cynical. If he does this again and again, maybe that will be proof? But just one country? That is not convincing, that is suspicious.
It's just a matter of volatility. If a stock drops by 15-20% once a month, a correction is not called a collapse. If it never moves more than 2-3% per day, a 15% drop causes panic.

BTC is by far the most volatile asset at the moment (excluding other crypto currencies and some exotic real currencies). I think the reason people talk about crashes so quickly is that no one has a clue what's going on. Is it a broad-based move? Is it a few speculators? Is it a conspiracy? For stocks, at least the regulator knows very quickly who sold and if there's something fishy going on. For BTC, no one knows which makes it more confusing.

> A 28 year old person was shot dead when he opened his door. In what universe is anyone responsible for this except for the fucking police, shooting the UNARMED guy who simply opens the door at his mothers house?

In this universe, where someone called in a hostage situation knowing that a full blown SWAT team would be sent in.

I am in no way saying that the police were anything other than completely and utterly in the wrong to shoot that man.

What I am saying is that doesn't absolve the responsibility of the person intentionally calling in SWAT in the United States because they're upset with someone over a $1.50 bet. With how often there are news stories about plain officers shooting unarmed civilians, you have to know that calling in a SWAT team carries with it the chance of death.

I honestly, seriously don't understand why this is controversial.

"Pronounced like" in this context really means "vaguely similar, but actually fundamentally different". There is no English equivalent to the phonemes represented in pinyin by j, q, x, zh, ch, sh, r or z. English simply doesn't have alveolo-palatal or retroflex consonants. If anything, I think that pinyin is less misleading than Wade-Giles, because it doesn't lull you into false confidence. I have a weak preference for bopomofo, but that's another argument entirely.

Bad Interview Experience. Was I at fault here?
I had an interview recently with a YC company which left me with a bad taste in my mouth. I'm not going to name names here but here's what went down.

After a couple missed appointments from the CEO and multiple reminders from me, I finally managed to get on a call with them. I sometimes have spotty reception in my house so the call got disconnected the first time. I called back, explained the network issues, but they hung up in middle of the conversation. I called back but I wasn't able to reach them. So, I sent a text and waited for a callback. They did call back again, hung up while I was speaking. I called back again to no avail. I felt pretty bad at this rudeness. I gave up and sent an email to say that they could email me if they wanted to continue while apologizing for spotty reception. I tweeted at their twitter account and complained about the rude interview.

I got an email from CTO a few days later, which resulted in a couple more rounds of seamless and painless interviewing. The CEO emails me after and let me know that they wanted to fly me into their office at very short notice(3-4 days), and booked tickets after my approval. I get a phone call the next day from their employee, who noticed the tweet I'd made earlier and asked to take it down. I took it down as requestedand asked them who I could talk to to know more about the upcoming interciew. I was asked to call the CEO, who picked up and let me know they'd call me back. I got an email a couple hours later that said:
"We had some internal discussion about you and decided you aren't a good cultural fit, and therefore, won't be moving forward with the process. We will be canceling the flight tickets as well."
I posted here because I'd like to know if I was in the red here for tweeting at them about the rude interview experience. So, what could I have done better here and how can I avoid such situations in the future?
The only one detracting from anything is you. The rest of us read the comment just fine. I'm american myself and know the "rack" slang but the meaning you suggested didn't occur to me until you pointed it out. I assumed the name had something to do with where this person (I don't know who he's talking about) used to work or some infamous project that went badly or something. Understanding the name didn't seem critical to the comment so I didn't spend time trying to analyze it.

Isn't that just the same Friedman approach with a longer time horizon?

Imagine a farmer who farms to exhaust the soil. He earns money but in 30 years, the farmland is rendered useless. He becomes poor in the end.

Another farmer farms slower, leaving fallow years, sustainably. He earns less money but 30 years later the farm is productive. He remains wealthy in the end.

Going from farmer 1 to farmer 2's strategy is not a change in ethics. The second farmer didn't care about the land as an end in itself. He just thought longer into the future, and knew how to measure assets that weren't obvious (in his case, land quality; in real life, loyalty, image, healthy communities to embed in).

They're talking about futures contracts, which are created with explicit end dates for delivery (or "delivery") of the underlying asset. I believe first officially listed and traded Bitcoin futures contracts were issues in December, and (some?) have expiration dates around now.

Prices around expiration dates can get quite volatile, as traders with large positions maneuver to maximize profit or minimize loss.

Show HN: Text Blocks for Mac – speedier email replies (beta feedback)
Hi HN! Indie Mac developer from Germany here. I just released the beta of my new app “Text Blocks” and would love to hear your thoughts on the intro video and the app itself:

http://kitestack.com/textblocks/

The app helps you reply to emails using pre-defined text blocks.

The cool part: Once you’re done replying, you can have the app schedule a reminder to follow up with somebody or add their contact details to a spreadsheet (great when pitching your startup/side project or keeping track of feature requests & bug reports).
Mostly this makes no sense because the things BGP cares about are orthogonal to mere IPv4 or IPv6 addressing.

But if there is a difference, IPv6 means less prefixes are needed for any given provider, since the IPv6 prefixes are huge and unfragmented, we can usually give a provider enough address space in their initial allocation to last them forever, and if they exceptionally out-grow it, the larger space is available, whereas with IPv4 there's no chance anybody can give you a /16 even if you warrant one.

My point is more that investing in a company is a bad investment strategy. There are no fund managers with such a strategy. Any fundamentals strategy will rely on diversification. And a retail trader like us can't diversify cheaper than with an index fund/ETF.

Having that single company investment also be the company you work for... and taking a lower salary to be able to make this awful bet... well, you deserve to lose big for behaving so financially irrational.
Except we don't operate in some sort of unrestricted free market. There are agencies like the FDA that enforce food and pharma standards - so you can trust that nothing at a grocery store will poison you. There are laws, regulations and trade deals that govern how commerce is conducted. What you're doing is injecting personal, arbitrary and capricious standards on top of the already existing massive regulatory framework and then complaining it is too hard. No kidding! Don't do that then or at least don't be a martyr about it.
Beyond the Bitcoin Bubble
If I'm reading you, the idea is to essentially to negotiate out-of-band? I remember reading something like this in Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency Technologies with a note saying nobody had tried it in practice.

> (Your analogy to a ledger with account balances is precisely correct for Ethereum, but Bitcoin actually has a somewhat different model.)

My understanding is that in bitcoin it's a log of transactions -- a ledger. Ethereum is instead addresses holding totals -- more like an account statement.

Exactly, a +10% drop in a day is pretty newsworthy for the DOW and wouldn't be called just a correction. Cryptomarkets aren't the DOW, you're more than free to check the yearly charts on coinmarketcap.com, what we're seeing right now is not unusual for the market, and I'm saying this as someone who's been heavily involved for multiple years.

It sounds to me like you're leaving out some context. That said, you should've known better than to tweet about your interview process.

Also, if you know you have bad reception at home, why on Earth would you take a scheduled call there? Go somewhere with better reception in advance. Sit in your car and take the call if you have to.
It will get better, I like to draw parallels to the dotcom bubble–sooner or later we'll see a real collapse and the coins that are actually worth something will rise from the dust. Just like how Amazon and eBay did. This could take a year or three though.

You don't even need foreign languages to run into this problem. English is the only language I speak fluently, but I'm Australian. I'm
also a programmer, and I have some american friends. So, depending on context sometimes I spell 'color' (programming or talking to Americans), and sometimes I spell 'colour' (talking to Australian friends and family). Same with behaviour / behavior, favour / favor, etc. The context for which spelling I decide to use is complicated. In the same document I might name the `getColor` function, but describe it as getting the colour of a pixel. I might have two chat windows open side-by-side with different people and in each window spell the same words differently.

All my devices insist on shaming me (or autocorrecting me) for one of those spellings. At this point it feels like a complete gamble which I'll get corrected on. I'm just slowly getting used to correcting the autocorrect. :(

not exactly, actually. composer allows you to pull "dist" version - which is an archive that can be whatever really. you can of course set "prefer-source", but I think theoretically you can have a package without source provided at all.
Not quite. We see ordinary people "invest" in what we perceive as gambling at best and a scam at worst and are infuriated by how various people, media etc are egging them on.

The Washington Post had it right in 2015 even though they didn't even use the neologism "hodl":

> - Hey, do you want to hear about the future? It's a digital currency called Bitcoin that lets you spend or move your money online without paying any fees. - Sounds great. How does it do that? - Well, Bitcoin saves you money by making transactions irreversible. - So ... if I get scammed, I got scammed? There's nothing I can do about it? - Yes. -
Okay, but is it at least easy to use? - The thing is, I don't actually use it. I just hoard it. I'm waiting for some greater fools to push up the price by using theirs. - Oh. -
Yeah. So you should buy some Bitcoins and use yours.

This is nothing but a scam. We don't want people to be scammed.

I actually looking forward to use k8s in our network, too. But I think the simplest solution for HA k8s is using keepalived paired with nginx/haproxy on the master level and add a keepalived-vip for every service.

(at least for our 3 node master, 3 node worker setup)

(I evaluated the calico + bgp option, too but it looked way to complex, as a k8s starter)
> you want to use "fix" instead of "on" to prevent an attacker from just turning it off again.

An attacker also must know you admin PIN (required to change this setting), so there is really no need to use "fix" instead of "on". To be able to toggle this off, you must reset your yubikey (paraphrasing the docs).

> I am always annoyed at claims in supervised learning that a machine predictor is better than humans. Humans obviously are the ones that scored the dataset to begin with

For some problems, sure. For prediction tasks on the other hand, you have an actual ground truth that can be compared to human a priori prediction.

Neural net NLP results are rarely about actual intelligence or clever use of latent variables that it figured out, and more "pattern matching" that explains why its errors are so different from human errors. It doesn't actually understand the problem, it's finding tricks to solve the questions that happen to be regularities in the dataset that us humans can't really see.

I'm on the same boat. I find Google Hangouts very effective. So far, my experiences in Linux Chrome have been flawless.
The point is that the status code is an enumeration of several different values, neither of which are "true" or "false" and that whenever you want to derive some boolean meaning from it, you are going to have to decide which is true and what isn't because it's not an inherent property of the value.

You say that it answers the question "Are there any errors?", but that's just one possible boolean interpretation of the status code.

That said, I don't know of a shell that doesn't interpret zero status as true, because true(1) and false(1) in Unix returns status zero and non-zero respectively. It's not just Unix, it's Windows, DOS etc. In that sense, the prevalent boolean interpretation is that it answers the question "Did the process end with a success status code?", the exact opposite of what you think.

That you or anyone else finds bash or this boolean interpretation in general unintuitive is besides the point, and ignoring that I've already said half of this to complain about bash is a pretty rude way to short-circuit a discussion.
