Any insurer which raises rates to pay for this would quickly lose most of its business unless they're (a) the only insurer in the state or (b) convince the rest of the insurers in-state to collude on pricing. The first isn't the case of any state with respect to auto insurance, and the second is a state and federal felony punishable by many years in jail for any executive stupid enough to participate.

And that's assuming they can get away with the rate increases in the first place. States like CA have insurance commissioners empowered to review and reject rate increases.

Many genres of music have songs that are mostly comprised of a handful of chord sequences, or 'chord progressions'. For instance, you will hear the I - IV - V all the time in western pop. An example of this (with a different chord progression):

So unexpected harmonies are sequences that don;t fit in to these well-known, 'standard' progressions.

> Bitcoin is turning 10.

It all depends on where you start counting. In 2008 it was just Satoshi and a few cypherpunks. I would argue it looked a lot like Arpanet [0]. So Fast forward 10 years from 1973 ... and was the internet really useful in 1983?

On January 1st 1983, "every machine connected to ARPANET had to use TCP/IP. TCP/IP became the core Internet protocol and replaced NCP entirely." [1] ... hardly a huge commercial success at that point.

Those experiences are awful. I do not dispute that there are male victims, including in the workplace. I absolutely agree that "People shouldn't do this to other People".

That said, women as a group are disproportionately on the receiving end of improper workplace behaviour overwhelmingly perpetrated by men.

And you can't address that dynamic without first acknowledging that it exists and putting words to it. And so, men as a group do this to women as a group and it has real-life ramifications for women. That doesn't mean we don't address what is happening to men. It's not a zero sum game. But it also means we can't ignore how gender is implicated in this discourse for women.
_Raping_ is illegal. Being a registered sex offender means you might have served jail time and then released. Whether a rapist feels remorse or whether they've received fair punishment under the law is completely beside the point. Being homeless is certainly not illegal and the thing about condos is still true.

Are you saying this will happen to all crypto or just Bitcoin? Ok if Bitcoin goes away, it might over time, exponential decay and what not. Or might also go up. But crypto overall will most likely go up. Like you can't go back.

And I feel like people for example aren't talking about the fact that technology doesn't really go away. Like any technology we've ever invented is still used somewhere. This will very much be like bitcoin.
> The post I replied to did not state "to use the roads" - it stated general use of mandatory beacons. You're moving the goalposts.

Sorry - my reading was that it was in reply to "Worst case scenario, beacons become mandatory. Cheap and anonymous beacons you have to carry when you're near a road," and so I thought you meant "beacons that are mandatory if you're near a road and don't want to be hit." If you mean "beacons that are mandatory just to be a human in America at all," then sure, I think that's going to be a much harder sell, but I'd also argue that the post you were responding to doesn't require such beacons.

That's only relevant in places limited to street level parking.

The general case is driving to a parking lot/garage which could make the trip shorter or longer depending on where it's located relative to your destination. You might spend more time driving in a garage, but that does not impact street level congestion compared to all those extra Miles drivers add going to pick you up.

As to density, cars parked in a garage take up vastly less land than than moving cars on a road as they stack vertically and need less space around each other.

Exactly. No matter what, they would have been contacted by the outside world, probably directly by Admiral Harris (the commander of the Pacific Fleet). 38 minutes makes no sense at all unless they were really trying to figure out if they were under attack or not.

They probably viewed this admission of error as being less embarrassing as not knowing that they weren't under attack when Japan released a statement within a few minutes saying it wasn't true. They look even more incompetent in that scenario.
I browse HN using w3m, from which I'm commenting right now. It works on probably 80% of the links I attempt to visit. In many cases it works better than a graphical browser: I only see article text, and for reasons I haven't investigated I often seem to be ignored by paywalls. I never see subscription nagboxes or ads.
Sometimes I have to search forward for the title to skip the load of garbage that precedes the article text.

I haven't done mushrooms since once at college. There's a funny story about that time.

There was an annual organized trip to Disneyland at my school, and a large fraction of the student body went. I decided not to go that year, and picked that night to try mushrooms because the campus would be sparsely populated. I figured that the fewer people there were around, the fewer chances there were for something to go wrong.

I had done a lot of reading, and talked to a lot of people who had used them, so that I knew what to expect on a mushroom trip. I was seeing and feeling the effects I expected, and having a good time.

Then several people I did not recognize walked by, speaking Chinese! Then more Chinese speaking people walked by. That was weird. I started wandering around campus, and kept running into people I did not recognize who were speaking Chinese.

This was very unusual. My school (Caltech) was small enough that every student could normally recognize every other student by sight, so seeing so many strangers was odd enough...but that they were all speaking Chinese was just freaky.

Nothing I had read or heard said that mushrooms could make one have that kind of hallucination, so I was starting to get seriously worried that I was on more than just mushrooms.

It turned out that I was not hallucinating. I had not been the only one who decided to take advantage of most Caltech students going to Disneyland that night. The Chinese Students Association picked that night to throw a party and invite the Chinese students from UCLA and USC and nearly every other college in the Los Angeles area.

What are some cities with decent enough public transportation and urban planning for pedestrians that also don’t suffer from lack of housing/exhorbitant housing prices? The top cities I can think of that satisfy the former unfortunately also have the latter.
I have my driver license, but I'm not buying a car anytime soon. I may at some point, but for now public transportation + renting a car when I really need one + Lyft/Uber/Taxi is a lot more cost-effective. On top of that, I'm sure I'd walk less because I'd find myself driving to places I walk to right now. So all in all for my context I'm quite happy without owning a car.
this would probably be a bad design aswell. because if a real missle treat happens I would need to get out the warning as fast as possible.

Again as an Esperanto-speaker, I can say that my only problem with this document is that it can come across as a bit snarky and mean-spirited, but this is pretty well addressed by the disclaimer http://jbr.me.uk/ranto/#00e

I have heard other Esperantists describe the document as maybe harsher than it needs to be, grouping in the mountains with the mole-hills, but I think most of the things it describes are pretty uncontroversially considered to be flaws with respect to the language's original intent. Most of the speakers I interact with would say, "Yes, but what's your point?" But on the other hand, neither I nor the Esperantists I interact with regularly tend to be the types that think Esperanto still has a viable chance of becoming a true international language: we simply think it's a fun language to learn and speak. So it's possible that more radical Esperantists would disagree with our position there!

You are very correct, the fundamental problem here is not that people don't read the EULA, it is that the world "agree" is not meaningful in this context, there is no equitable power relationship between you and the company you are "agreeing" with, they can insert any demand they wish and you have no ability to negotiate or power in the discussion. You should not have to read the EULAs, because companies should not be allowed to require that you waive your fundamental rights like this as a precondition of using their service. If you have a right to sue but every company can demand you waive it before you interact with them, you actually have no right at all.

If mandatory arbitration is allowed, the right to sue does not exist. You cannot have one but not the other.
Interesting launch. Last month for Producthunt hackathon I was planning to create something similar by using openfaas, but did not(just like many other ideas/side projects we all have here :-)). One questions that bothered me a lot was how to define pricing for such product?

Would you be able to throw some light on how you/your team came up with the sustainable plan and pricing you have?
Thanks mrbarletta!

The Graphcool Framework is a all-in-one framework that combines a GraphQL query engine (now called Prisma), serverless functions and managed hosting (Graphcool Cloud).

Prisma is a major rewrite of the query engine. You can think of Prisma as the query engine powering the Graphcool Framework.

Today Prisma can be used stand alone as a GraphQL database layer in combination with GraphQL Binding. Later we will change the Graphcool Framework to use Prisma as the query engine.

In short - if you like the features of Graphcool Framework, you can keep using it like nothing changed.
It's just really hard for people to see beyond the present. Innovators in one cycle are often blind to the opportunities in the next. I see it in a couple of my successful friends that built their own companies on the web and mobile when it comes to crypto.

I'm reminded of the quote about the radio:

“The wireless music box has no imaginable commercial value. Who would pay for a message sent to no one in particular?” — Associates of David Sarnoff responding to the latter’s call for investment in the radio in 1921.

And then a couple of years later, for someone that made their stake in radio:

“While theoretically and technically television may be feasible, commercially and financially it is an impossibility, a development of which we need waste little time dreaming.” — Lee DeForest, American radio pioneer and inventor of the vacuum tube, 1926

And remember TV didn't really come into its own until decades after 1926.

Yesterday, I was reading about past objections (circa 2007) to using Git vs CVS or SVN, and most of the objections were things that turned out to be unimportant. The objections focused on how their team doesn't have a decentralized workflow that the Linux Kernel does, so they don't need git. Or that the interface sucked, so they don't need git.

Turns out everyone mostly uses git in a centralized way (via Github), to coordinate, but the decentralized design reveals secondary affordances that are really useful in practice. The decentralized design allows you to work and commit offline--great as laptops became more pervasive and more people worked on them. (You use to have to be online to commit, and can sometimes take minutes) The decentralized design also used content hashing with parent chains, which allows for inherent self-checking--no object modification can escape detection. Git's data structure makes commits fast, which in practice makes fine-grained commits possible. And the decentralized design gives everyone a backup of the repo, so the central repo getting nuked by the intern doesn't take down the org. Nowadays, in saying these things, I'm preaching to the choir. But back then, it was completely non-obvious.

The only people that got it right back then are the ones that dug into the technical details, and then actually tried it out. Notably, the guy at X.org. https://keithp.com/blog/Repository_Formats_Matter/

And I think it's a similar thing with cryptocurrencies, in the way that the fundamental different design and architecture of blockchains allows for secondary effects that are harder to see (until you've actually used or programmed in it) that aren't available to you at all otherwise.

The trap most people fall into is that they compare the new X with what the old Y does very well. But they never consider that if it's actually got a new underlying concept, it might suck at what the old Y has had time to get good at, but it allows for some other thing that we just couldn't do at all before.

We're not going through a drought, we're experiencing a water shortage

Thanks, that’s an insight I didn’t pick up on from the article. Maybe I just saw the “three year drought” part and assumed that was the only problem causing the shortage. But what I hear you saying is that there would eventually be shortages regardless, due to general mismanagement.

Something funny I noticed in me. I was pretty much into funk and jazz harmonies all my life. But lately when life became harsh. Classical music harmonic fluidity and lightness appealed to my mind a lot more.

Also because I got less thrilled by microlevel effects and paid more attention about larger movements which seems prevalent in classical music.

Jazz feels like forever tripping without ever falling. Everything is twisting and tilting, and somehow the goal is almost to make it the most daring move (after all syncopation is about that) that keeps the rotation going.
The second and essentially all subsequent missiles were rockets though.
This is wrongheaded. Work is a fine place to find partners because you are likely to be educated similarly and have similar life goals. You have to be mature in how you handle it though. One of the women I probably loved most in my life I met at work.
Could it be that the cultural problem is the low social status of IT Work ?
Sort of, you're thinking along the right lines, look at the stackoverflow answer.
If 30% is lost, those 4% are actually 6% of active wallets, likely more. Already way better distribution than any capitalist economy in the world, and I’m not sure these numbers are discounting all the single-use addresses created in the past 8 years.
Makes sense. Following this thread, what do you think would be a good ranking strategy besides Alexa rank and social shares?
4% of addresses contain 96% of Bitcoins[1]. It could be true that 96% of Bitcoins are controlled by 4% of Bitcoin owners but there's no way of knowing. Some addresses belong to multiple people, some to no one, multiple addresses belong to some people...

It also depends on what you mean by "controlled by". Large amounts of Bitcoin have been deposited in exchanges where the coin "owners" have no control over the coins. For example Bitfinex stores about 1% of Bitcoins in a single wallet [2]

That's a non-starter for a lot of folks. Intellectual pursuit, family obligations, money, or a combination of those things can conspire to keep people somewhere whether they like their situation or not. I left academia so I could move where I please, but there was a steep price attached to that, and I wouldn't expect everyone to make the same decision.

Built in Chicago's 50 Startups to Watch in 2018
Sony’s VAIO X505 had some impressive specs when it first debuted in 2004. It was just 0.38 inches at its thinnest point, and used Intel’s ultra-low voltage Pentium processor. It was the first laptop to feature a "chiclet" keyboard, named for its small rounded keys that resemble Chiclets gum. All of this was packaged into a $3,000 notebook years before Apple unveiled its MacBook Air.
