How can you not use it? IIRC, you have to go through the setup steps for the TV to work.

Even if you aren't actively using it, there are things running in the background that crash. I was watching football yesterday and I kept getting "The Samba Service has Stopped" messages. The only option in the box was OK to acknowledge it. What am I supposed to do with that? It kept coming back so I googled it and found how to disable notifications for that app and that eventually stopped the problem.

I also found the Samba service watches what you watch so that it can target ads better.

I actually have two dish washers and this is indeed a problem. We just clear out what's left into the cupboard. If your usage pattern is non-standard, for example because people come over, it also breaks down. But on the whole I'm happy with the time savings.

>And yet we treat it like something that is non negotiable,

Sometimes, it's non-negotiable because there's no money to pay Google-style $300k salaries + benefits.

Fred doesn't make it clear whether he's talking about young startups with very little money in the bank or a mature 8-year old "startup" like Uber that raised $22 billion from investors with $6 billion in revenue. If it's a young 2-person startup that just got a modest $120k investment from YCombinator, a "3rd employee" will not be able to get a $300k salary. The only monetary recruitment tool left is equity.

Fred is also leaving out the game theory aspects of the equity as a deliberate filtering mechanism to attract employees aligned with the founder's vision. Yes, many workers are definitely cynical of startups' self-aggrandizing "we're going to change the world" so they only see one (and only one) way to compensate employees:
pure 100% cash and fuck off with your options. An employee certainly has every right to stay rigid to that point of view. However, it still doesn't change the psychology of founders wanting to filter out the candidates with a "mercenary" mindset. They often have no money to pay the mercenaries anyway so they have no choice.

It's hard to come up with technical reasons for picking one OS over another for general business use. All of the operating systems are good enough. They have been for a long time.

What drives OS choice is (and always has been) application support and cost. Despite Linux being free, it can be expensive to support or even an impossible choice if you need, for example, Microsoft Office or Final Cut.

More often than not, Linux wins on ideological grounds. There's nothing wrong with that, but you do need buy-in from your users.
Thanks for the link.

"Those supporting the move to Microsoft Office say staff using LibreOffice find it difficult to swap documents with external organizations, due to incompatibilities with Microsoft Office"

This happens all around the industry. Once you are locked in there is no easy way to change. This renders the capitalist concept of competition obsolete. Everything becomes a monopoly. Intel, Nvidia, Facebook, Microsoft, Google... they amount of 90% of the market on their products.

What was 20 years ago a dynamic fast changing industry, that feared anti-monopoly actions from the goverment, has become a short list of big companies with tight ties with politicians.

Such lack of diversity opens the risk that a vulnerability is going to send all our IT into chaos, as Intel issues have showed up. It also hampers innovation and contributes to a world with less opportunities for new entrepreneurs, that are more focused in created something to sell to a big company than a long term viable business.

So Munich decision is part of the problem, but just an small one. I hope that it works better for Barcelona.

How does this prevent an attacker on the server from changing the page? (How is trust verified?) Also, this doesn't seem suited to dynamic applications.
That's all very fine and well, but programmers are rarely programming for themselves. If you are targeting your product at the user specifically then you should be aiming at least at a pleasant user experience. If the "advancement" you cite is at the expense of the user then perhaps it's not that much of an advance.

Yup it's the finishing that is hard. I started a fun project before xmas just for kicks. But I've yet to fire up the editor and get back into the zone, and finish it. So like much of my code, it will sit around in a half finished state and that's not really that much use to anyone else. Not that in this example it really was for anyone else. I'm always impressed and enthusiastic when people ship an MVP, even if it does have a few warts - as it shows staying power!

Well thinking it is not based on research, otherwise I would say after researching the matter... so based on my gut feeling, I guess, maybe based on feelings on how many side projects I used to get done in a year versus how many I get done now. I don't know that I would call it an assumption, since an assumption I think of as something I will proceed from, as the basis of decisions and I'm not making any particular decisions based on what I think on this issue.

> I haven't seen any place in Amsterdam Area

You haven't looked very hard, than. This is a "black swan" thing, by the way. So here's why you are entirely wrong:

* thuisbezorgd.nl accepts Bitcoin. Has done that for years. You can order from any snackbar, febo, pizza-joint, sushi-bar and pay with Bitcoin. Literally thousands of places in Amsterdam.

* mollie.com has offered a bitcoin-payment option for all their merchants to enable for years. Many webshops in the netherlands have enabled this (I use at least three on a monthly basis) who will then accept bitcoin.

* At least two lodging/guesthouses in Amsterdam accept BTC to sleep there.

* At least 8 coffee-shops (the ones selling actual coffee) and restaurants accept it.

* A cinema (Filmhuis Cavia), a barber, a grocery-shop, a vegan restaurant, a lawyer (Plasman) and probaly many more.

So, there you are: you were wrong: You can spend your BTC just fine in the fysical world. Even in the city you live in.
That's a very nice perspective to think.

These people can afford to make stupid decisions because it's not their own money they are wasting.

The only reason this is happening is crony capitalism: they want to do a favour to the local open source businesses (there are a few of them) which are friendly to the local government. They will get lots of support contracts. It's blatant corruption.

VR is very much here and functional.. I've been playing a few hours a week for the last year. There are certainly less AAA games than the main platforms (which is expected due to the economics of having <5% of the install base), but the ones they do have blow my hair back. One of my favorite things to do with visitors is strap them in and hear them rave when it's better than they expected.. which it always is.

Interesting, my prescription was out of range for contact lenses when last explored. It might be worth me getting something as best as they can get if the contact effect is beneficial.
Children consume a great deal of time and energy. Even after they're bathed and put to bed, cleaning and preparing for the next day eat into "adult" time in the night. Even splitting a perfect 50/50 with your partner (if you have one) doesn't leave much time for personal projects.

Having a house also means spending time on its care. Not nearly as much as children, but it's a non negligible amount.

Marriage can be less of a barrier to personal projects. Just depending your relationship and schedule.
Munich effectively had a parallel program for anyone that had to work with any external entities, and many used it also internally.

Munich never switched off Windows and MSFT Office at best it just abstracted or added additional layers of complexity.

The moment you need to digitally sign some stupid PDF with some “proprietary” signature scheme or open some excel spread sheet it’s pretty much back to Windows.

This year was the launch of Daughter 2.0 (years). I must say, this product is looking to be awesome. Although she sometimes intentionally doesn't follow the instructions I give her.

Unlike Daughter 1.0 that simply didn't follow instructions because she wasn't programmed to do so yet.

I must say, Daughter 0.1 was fun to conceive but the nine months leading up to launch were rough and the year after we first showed her to the public we had a lot of issues to work out. Me and my partner were up all night for a year working out bugs.

I'm still working on launching my Basement Playroom side project. I have the walls framed out but finding an outsourcing firm for the wiring for a reasonable price has been tough. Finishing the Baby-proofing side project felt good though.

I also have two software side projects. Both built on AWS Lambda... those have gotten nowhere due to my primary hustle.
About ten years ago, after my grandmother died, I got really into Robert Anton Wilson. That sort of set the trajectory for the rest of my life.

While I think RAW was wrong about a lot of things, the meta-lesson of erring on the side of agnosis -- trusting that, when the world doesn't behave in line with your expectations (and often even when it does) it's because of unknown unknowns, and that the world is stranger and more complex than any of us can imagine -- has helped me a lot. It's helped me rein in my control-freak nature, deal in healthier ways with unexpected events, and get rid of some of my ego-based fixations on particular mental models that don't survive collision with reality.
Exactly... And one of the big benefits of algo trading is that it takes the emotion out of the decision.

That's the main factor of human losses and mistakes. We always doubt ourselves.

You turn your 95% trading rules into an algo you can be sure it won't take a quick out to cut it's loss when it looks like the market is going wrong... the machine will always trust itself.
Actually, I've never been asked for references by tech companies. I've interviewed at most of the big ones in the last couple years. The only time I've been asked was back when I worked in finance.

Not that I don't approve general approach and direction, but what about other animals being 'farmed' for fur/leather and other 'components', ie cows?

Exciting work, I'll definitely be keeping a close eye on it!
> no you didn't.

Yes, I did, see the various posts I made. Posts you supposedly read, and responded to. You even addressed the multiple premises yourself! You're even addressing various of them in this very post!

> if you intended to ask

That wasn't my intention to ask, it is precisely what I asked. Read it back. Your answer to slow transaction premise was: "this is the solution to the problem" so I say "but it isn't available" to which you say "well it isn't widely available yet" rolleyes. How about you start being practical for a change?

> quick google shows a whole bunch: cryptopay.me, bitpay, spectrocoin, xapo, www.shiftpayments.com. there's 5 for you.

BitPay was on hold, doesn't inspire confidence. Plus:

"Sorry about that! The BitPay Card is not available for order in your area yet. We're working to bring it to more countries soon. If you’d like, we can notify you when it becomes available in your area."

"Why We're Updating the Minimum BitPay Payment Amount to $100

UPDATE, 12/23/17: We continue to monitor bitcoin network conditions, but we have re-enabled BitPay merchant invoices and BitPay card bitcoin-to-dollar loads for $5 or above. BitPay Card orders are also once again available."

Sounds like "working as intended"..

I checked Xapo as well, seems like its a virtual card only.

> everybody is aware that issue exists [...]

Ah, that one. Well, that's odd, I just asked my 5 year old about it and she had no idea what I was talking about.

Wake me up when you can do small transactions. It is kinda important being able to perform small transactions with a currency. You know, I can go to the store right now and auth with a PIN and here's what that costs me: 0,00 EUR. I can even auth with a NFC card, if I enabled that and am OK with that and all.

> it's called a free market

Red herring.

> if it is economically viable for mining companies to spend energy at their location for the price at that location - not much you can do about it.

Yeah, there is: not supporting cryptocurrency where mining is lucrative or not supporting cryptocurrency. You can opt to not support cryptocurrency by simply not joining the MLM/pyramid scheme. Actually, if you got savings, you're probably better off investing in safe stocks such as AAPL (~48% profit last year) or GOOGL (~36% profit last year). The likelihood of these two companies going belly up is very low. You can also spread further, or in multiple markets.

> it's only unnecessary by your definition and understanding of bitcoin.

I think sticking to things I start has contributed the most personal growth for me. I think for anything to have any effect on you, you have to stick with it for at least 6 months or more (though it definitely depends on each activity).

In the last 2 years I have been able to lose 8kgs, increase my business, cure my chronic backache and become a lot happier using this one trick of sticking to things daily without fail.

One thing that has helped me tremendously to keep at it daily is a simple Google Sheet in which I put my progress daily and it gives me a "X days streak" using a formula (let me know if you want the template). After a month when I have a 30 day streak it makes me more and more committed to follow through and I rarely break my streaks.

P.S. The only thing which this never worked is sleeping at 10 <strike>a.m</strike>p.m. Can't even get a 2 day streak. I guess nothing works for that :D

Like you I have a handful of these I [push to github](https://github.com/PeteW).

Like you I dont tout them publically ([well except one time](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13271522 )) because:

1. I take my full-time job as a very serious obligation requiring good honest work every single day. If I felt like I couldnt offer my full-time job this sort of honest commitment then I'd immediately search for a better full-time job.

2. I dont have kids but I do have a life away from the laptop. Balancing full-time job and real-life means my side projects normally lack enough polish for me to consider them deliverable/sellable products.

3. Heralding all my side projects in public feels like busy work to me. If you were really interested these projects then youll search for the project first not the author.

Ah well now I just caught myself rambling on HN yet again. To each his own I suppose ;)

I know the Eastern and Oriental Orthodox do in fact practice things like abortion and contraception, but they are still highly controversial subjects and far from universally accepted in the hierarchy.

I still think it's a pretty fair generalisation of traditional Christianity and the vast majority of Christians (liberal western Protestants are a minority on the global scale, and even they don't universally accept abortion and contraception, take for instance Pastor Anderson)
It takes less than 5 min to take out the dishes from a full dishwasher even a large one.

I don’t care how many downvotes this get but how lazy can one person be.

Also I found even a better way and that is not to use the dishwasher at all besides after a dinner party or a large cooking session during the weekend.

I live with my partner and it doesn’t take more than 10min to do the dishes at the end of each day without using a dishwasher.
You should ask yourself why you're making these open source web games and bigger games.

Is it to learn the tech stack for some bigger goal, or are you doing it in hopes you gain recognition? Do you enjoy doing it?

That's a really important distinction to make because think about it like this:

Let's say you could do anything you want in the world. No limits here. You have enough money, time, health, everything. Would you purposely avoid doing it to mess around all day?

Keep in mind, I'm guilty of this too so I'm not talking down to you. I know the drill here. You goto bed thinking "tomorrow will be amazing" and then tomorrow ends up being 14 hours of reddit, HN, Youtube, games, some exercise and about 1 hour of productive work if you're lucky.

I've gotten a little better over the years, mainly from reading some books, setting goals, creating habits and working on things that I really care about.
