Ah. Here's the link: https://www.google.com/patents/US7126691
I won't say you're wrong but it does seem as if there's at least somewhat of a trend away from selling used goods.

One example local to me is a local sports store used to have a thriving second-hand section. A few years ago they got out of it because it wasn't profitable. Selling used ice hockey gear made more sense when most of the new stuff was made in the US, Canada, Finland, etc. compared to China. And, of course, eBay has shifted more toward new things from big sellers.
Look, if your case for Bitcoin is "it's a bit better than a hyperinflationary currency", that's great and all...

The Bolivar is regular currency's version of Bitconnect, not Bitcoin.

> Assuming eventual widespread adoption of bitcoin or a competing coin, storing your own funds in your own wallet has basically the same advantages as storing money in a bank, but without the same risks (of the bank or the mattress).

That's a big assumption. Are you also assuming the FDIC will extend its coverage to personal wallets, that the FBI will automatically involve itself when yours gets stolen/hacked, etc.? The banking system involves a lot of consumer protections that aren't present when you store stuff at home.

> Cash out of your hands is cash you no longer control. Hardware wallets can have pin codes and other measures to prevent the funds from being used and help you recover them later.

Sure, if you want to spend the rest of your life in jail for contempt of court.
>JavaScript, without ever mentioning the limitations of wasm wrt. JS (no GC, no interaction with the DOM or with JS libraries besides numbers, etc.).

DOM will die as soon as the industry moves to one or two good GUI toolkits that run under Webassembly and are way faster to use than the cumbersome present combination of HTML+CSS+CSS preprocessor+JS libs.

Mark my words.
Only doing a single feeding seems like a great way to breed resistance in the mites.
I don't understand why AWS released Go support instead of binary support and I don't understand why they chose to rely on go's net/rpc.

The Go 1.x runtime will happily execute any binary, go, rust, c++. Events are sent over a TCP stream. That stream uses Go's net/rpc which encodes objects using Go's special [gobs] binary format.

If they had chosen a more common exchange format it would be much easier to support new runtimes. I haven't found any implementation of gobs outside of go. If you write one for a language you could use that language to write a native Lambdas.

They explicitly address the "Why C++?" question here: https://neopg.io/blog/cplusplus/

Choice quote:

There are many programming languages, and I believe in picking the right tool for the job. In the case of NeoPG, the priorities were:

- Support for strong cryptography.

- Compatibility with C application developers.

- Convert legacy code quickly.

- Tool support for QA.

Everything else is, at this point, a secondary concern. The Sequoia Project uses Rust, and I envy that. But the first thing they had to do was to wrap an existing C crypto library (they choose libnettle), because there is no high quality crypto library for Rust yet. That is their challenge.

My challenge will be to stay focussed on the parts of C++ that are actually helpful, and not get bogged down by the rest.
I wonder if there's a problem with the whole "plea" thing, mixed up with the death penalty. What if there were no pleading, every case went to trial, and the penalty was the one assigned to the circumstances of the case at the beginning of the trial. This would get rid of the abuse of plea bargaining, and the need for the defendant to strategize based on trying to manipulate the penalty.

Even if we keep the pleading stage, a guilty plea should require the approval of the judge based on his evaluation of the evidence. It should not be possible for the police to get away with punishing someone without having to present their evidence. The evidence should be submitted to the court before the pleading begins.

You can do similar with e.g. elastic beanstalk. You still need a metric for autoscalers, but overall the scaling works well. Probably worse for high-burst sorts of traffic though.
All the value you provide is made redundant by copy pasting a bunch of your formatting and hosting it in-house. And the cost is fairly steep cost for the small amount of value. I’m not sure there’s a viable business model here.

Edit: To clarify, it seems like you a bunch of other features as well tacked on. I don’t fully understand how they’re all related, but insofar as things such as customer relations and branding, these are things that typically the company should own itself and is unlikely to want to delegate.

Excuse me for saying this, but you don't have to put that disclosure sentence with every comment ...(personally, I find it kind of irritating)
Hah, I don't have it yet so I don't know :) currently, I get 100 down. So is your advice to steer clear of 1000 down and just go with a standard cable/tv plan then since that's all I'll get anyways? I was hoping to forego the TV plan and just use netflix/crunchyroll/etc for the same price and 900 more down. :(

Honestly, that calculation deeply annoyed me. The author says he is 39, and that he has amassed so much music that he couldn't listen to all of it in 40 years, so what I would like to know, is why he owns so much music that he has never listened to!

> "Packet level" is a technical distinction, not an important one.

It is a very important discussion, it should never happen and ISPs want to do it to have the ability to slow you down and throttle you. NN prevents packet level bias.

Even if you still want to beat the Google is a monopoly drum, I don't totally disagree that some of their tactics are that level, this is just a distraction from NN and local ISP monopolies using Google is a false equivalency to ISPs that are your entry to the internet, before Google can even get to you.

You are literally off topic at this point, this isn't a thread on Google monopoly level tactics, this is about NN which Google would be market leader with or without. Google issues for another day, today is ISP local monopolies which you continually distract from almost as if you are purposefully doing it. If you aren't being paid by the ISPs you should at this point.

If you had 0 or 1, 25Mbps-100Mbps option in your area is that sufficient? Google obsession aside, do you think there is ANY local monopoly issue regarding ISPs?

Current ISP talking points on ISP monopolies are to distract to Google, Facebook, Amazon etc just as the WSJ has been doing. You've joined the club in distracting from the real issue, NN, unrelated to whether Google is a monopoly.

You go and call out Google for lobbying, they have to the way ISPs and Comcast/AT&T etc buy off legislature. You seem to like the companies that buy off legislature and provide NO innovative benefits to them running the web today, at least with Google/Amazon/etc there are benefits not degradation of service like the ISPs of today.
Through agencies or directly for advertised jobs, as opposed to what? Those are the only things I would consider. Thank you!
No they're not - they are separated by the fact that one's sole purpose is to commit fraud, while the other actually has to do - however much - with technical merit. The however much part exists in every other type of market..there is a subset of people that will always try to game the system of any system they exist within. This is nothing new. That subset can vary in size based on qualities of said market, yes, but the intent of the market is not solely to enable those people.

Saying cryptocurrency only recently broke away from this is just a conclusion of your premise, which I disagree with entirely due to the existence of material like Bitcoin's whitepaper. To say they are on the same spectrum is just misleading.
I've never heard of this, and have heard a presentation on how paper recycling works that makes me kinda doubt it.
I've been doing Coursera and got done with Udacity but both are just too philosophical. (I'll probably cruse the deep learning class too.)

Does FAST.AI get into the grit of actually doing or is it more philosophical?
Most of the land in the US East of the Mississippi was forested, cut down, and turned into farmland. Some marginal lands have returned to forest like in upstate New York and in the Appalachia Mountains, but Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and other mid-western states are/were the heart of US agricultural production. They are slowly beginning covered by urban and suburban development. I believe that people thought farming was not possible if the land did not already support trees. They were mostly right before irrigation and scientifically bred crops.
I actually had a really positive experience with a recruiter. I had a relatively low salary and they negotiated twice what I was making before at my current position. And I don’t even have a degree.
There's a simple-but-useful WebAssembly Explorer at https://mbebenita.github.io/WasmExplorer/ that interactively shows the C/C++ -> WASM Text -> x86 ASM path that WebAssembly takes.

I wrote up a short article and video demonstrating it last year at https://hacks.mozilla.org/2017/03/previewing-the-webassembly...
I believe it does require judicial approval. I don't have references off hand, but I recall cases where judges have nullified deals.
The fact that I get different results based on what device I'm using really bothers me. Why does Google have to try to be so omniscient? Why not just ask me, "Prioritize fast-loading pages? (y/n)".

Concerns over Google-the-company aside, Google-the-search-platfrom really sucks IMO because it assumes it knows what I want, rather than just asking me. That mentality was Steve Jobs' worst legacy and I hate how it's wound up everywhere.
Ask HN: Best way to set up a website in 2018
Say you are a part of an association, or an organisation, or a small company which has no or very outdated online presence, and you have been tasked with fixing that. A pretty common situation.

Now, you like/work for/are otherwise compelled to help this entity. You want to make this happen and you can and also want to code. Like always, the budget is small (say <100-200€$£ one time plus 5-20€$£ per month, the cheaper the better (relatively) of course) but your time is ultimately free, even if you only have 1 to 4 hours per day for it. Deadline? Well, the faster you are the more street cred you get but end of summer is fine.

Regarding specifications for the site, you are told: "Articles, news, calendar, media. And other people must be able to edit them, too!".

How would _you_ do it? Or a better version of _you_?
After eyeing BTC charts for the past 6 months, there is virtually no price movement that would surprise me. $30k in a couple of months? Sure. $3k? Why not. However, I will believe the bull run is over only when I see it stay down for those couple of months.
Maybe the place I volunteered at is weird but we did just throw those clothes into the garbage.
Where do you think the recyclers in the article are getting their raw materials from?

Your counterpoint to the authors claim that nobody wants your used clothes anymore seems to be that a handful do, which is great but is a drop in the ocean compared to the amount of new product being churned out, consumed, and ultimately dumped - albeit in some cases via a donation bin or even a cycle of reuse - via the fast fashion chains.
Most of our customers see 3 to 12 ms round trip times to the edge of our network.
C++ has a long and successful history of application development, regardless of project size (from 0 to >100 MLOC; from 1 guy sitting in his attic to thousands of engineers). Much like Java it isn't "hip". Instead people like to use "hip" languages with an underdeveloped ecosystem. Typical example: analysis tools, e.g. code analysers, performance and profiling tools.

Comments like "couldn't they have used $niche-lang.org instead of [C++/Java/...]" bore me, to be honest.
This is a lead gen website / SEO spam, exposed by this gem halfway down the page:

By creating a price or demand floor you create an incentive for someone in some country with lax environmental regulations to bulldoze rain-forest to grow soybeans.
>But better still, maybe encourage your employers not to death race upgrades versus exploits all the way to the bitter end in April 2020 like they did with XP's extended support period.

Ikr, but we can't expect all our customer to upgrade just because our product is in UMP. When we looked at one of our products user base, we could see that over 50% used Windows 7. That ruled out UMP for the subsequent project.
For men, ties used to be the utterly stereotypical gift that everyone gave when you didn't know what to give someone. So men ended up with closets full of the things, half of which they hated. (I've donated a lot of mine and I can still say, with considerable certainty, that I could wear a different tie on every occasion I wear a tie for the rest of my life and I wouldn't run out.)
[mention of typo removed]

Incredibly good advice as usual. I used your information when negotiating for my current position (internal HR), and earn ~20% more than my colleagues because of said advice (our team shares our compensation info amongst ourselves).

EDIT: Also, fantastic use of the analogy to real estate agents. Highlights what happens when incentives aren't aligned.
So we should use something as a currency with even higher volatility than gold?

It’s true that the CURRENT salary question is illegal in a few states, but salary EXPECTATIONS are still fair game. So there’s still a lot of room to make a misstep, unfortunately.

It would be nice to see more attention paid to the well-being of native pollinators, which already take care of themselves in regards to parasites & diseases, but whose numbers have been falling in recent years.

I imagine that the reason this isn't done is because it's not in the interest of Big Ag's medium-term profits.
I have used plivo before not much so I do not fully recommend yet take a look and decide for yourself:

I disagree completely. IT is going the opposite way, much of the maintenance is becoming commodified so the more complex tasks almost always involved writing actual code.

It's become more of a SWE org everywhere.

It's funny because SWE peeps get really defensive about IT vs SWE roles; like they don't want to be associated with IT for some ego-related reason.
Thanks for that link, lots of interesting stuff on there.

Ah, thank you! Fixing that now. (And thanks for the kind words!) UPDATE: Fixed the typo. Thanks again for pointing that out.
I specifically said that physical security is an exception and "You design for some parameters (known wind speeds or local natural hazards)." These are all initial assumptions and known ahead of time.

Now seriously:

Quite the opposite, I always receive comments on the simplicity of my code.

Also, I code so the user has a pleasant work experience, and also so the CPU executes the code faster, I don't put much attention to the comfort of the next developer, but I am always willing to show and explain what I did and why.
Right, the mentality of a lot of people is I'd feel bad putting this in the trash so I'll put in the donation bin and then all thinking about where it actually ends up is for someone else to deal with.
Is it hilarious? This kind of negotiation doesn't come easy to most of us, and it's taken me ages to learn by myself. I've probably lost out to a lot of salary just because I didn't know how to negotiate. If someone could have taught me that, I would have paid for it.

Also, the article is good by itself, no?
Maybe he bought a lot of music back when you had to buy whole albums at a time even if you only liked a couple of the songs.

Kind of like I do with videogames and bundles.
This seems to me to be as speculative as the sentence that you won't offer any justification for. I don't think your stare-at-the-phone experiment shows what you claim, firstly because, as I am not generally aware of my saccades, I am not sure that I am suppressing them, and secondly, I am generally aware of what is around me, so I can make an informed guess as to what is in my peripheral vision. A better experiment would be to present images that I cannot guess, and this can be done by picking a website that has changing advertisements in the margin. Generally, I cannot tell what they are, unless it is something simple or guessable, until I look at them. I think you are exaggerating our ability to identify things in our peripheral visual field.
Don't confuse arcane and complex. Although PGP is a 90s crypto standard, so it's more than likely a nightmare to implement.
But the answer is already "no," at least in some cases. You generally don't have a right to make frivolous defenses (e.g., I'm not guilty because the POTUS is a lizard person in a secret alien conspiracy and they're framing me to stop me from telling the truth), and courts have no obligation to aid you in such a defense. As an extension, you don't have a right to demand that your lawyer participate in a frivolous defense. If you concede to your lawyer that you committed a crime, then you can't insist that your lawyer profess your innocence in that crime to the court.

What's at stake here is two issues:

1. Is the choice of whether or not to concede to elements of the crime (this isn't the same as entering a plea) one of the rights that defendants retain even with a lawyer?

2. Does the fact that this is a capital case color the decision? English's argument was that conceding to the murder could help reduce the sentence from execution, and that his duty to minimize his client's sentence trumps other concerns.

Personally, the answer to the first question does seem to be "yes" to me, but the second question does give me some pause.
IIRC Datomic is open-source, just not freely licensed?

Bitcoin is also definitely an open-source immutable database ;)

EDIT: Maybe not, wow.

Scientists Are Creating GMO Species That Can’t Survive
To a degree the internet bubble was sad. Many people lost their shirt in the dotcom crash when they took on debt to exercise stock options or mortgaged their homes to buy dotcom stocks that failed.

But, of course, the internet bubble allowed all the fiber to be laid that formed the backbone of the internet & that gave rise to the great internet companies.

I'm long cryptocurrencies and I believe the technology is going to persist. It would be nice though to be able to do it without a whole bunch of people losing their life savings in a bubble, but perhaps that's wishful thinking.
I agree, especially given the length. Something about the tone seemed off as well -- here's the summary:

Recruiters typically receive a percentage of your salary as commission, but they also optimizing for "time it takes to make a placement".
Mandating its existence has other strategic advantages as well -- oil price shocks can and will happen in the future, so having the infrastructure to manufacture biodiesel and ethanol in place has a benefit as well.

There's a short, medium and long term outlook here. In the short term, there's a wastage of $5.4B. In the long term, burning things for fuel is bad. In the medium term, being able to moderate swings or ensure minimum supply of fuel mitigates risk that endanger the economy as a whole.
I sort of agree—whilst it may make me seem 'unfocused', I would be very happy doing many different things—design, front end, or maybe some company that's open to taking on people interested in starting in machine learning. I would hate the idea of declaring an objective as ruling me out from a position I would otherwise enjoy.
Generally no, because the roads you use to go places aren't designed like that. If you're facing a road designed as a shared space, you should probably be within a couple of hundred metres of one end or the other of your journey, maximum.
Facebook “Watch Party” lets Groups view videos simultaneously
This problem is made worse by technologies like JavaScript, which resemble system programming languages in the lack of restrictions placed on untrusted code. JS code can create threads, sockets, timers, perform I/O, loop or allocate forever. This is complete overkill for something that is mostly needed for interactive websites. Web Assembly doesn't fix this problem either. JavaScript has killed accessibility for the web and created numerous security problems. I don't want it and try to block it when I can.
Nothing. Governments do this kind of shit all the time, I know.

But at least with the Cyprus bank case and those like it, all it involved was legislation (or maybe not even that; not sure of the particulars) plus compliant lapdog banks, plus the unspoken understanding that the government "owns" all the official money anyway and just lets us use it from time to time.

Yes, as long as we are subject to a government, we are subject to its theft and violence. We can at least not make it so easy for them, though.
Several features have a clear "this is annoying in Java" background: Type inference is table stakes for a modern language, data classes make beans painless, receiver methods are explicitly designed to ease the pain of FooUtils classes, inline+reified open up generics to a tonne more use cases, and variance annotations helps with several others.
Well, I think it depends a lot on if you can & want to code to get this done. Otherwise, the answer is mostly comparison between several different website builders already available on the internet.
wasm is not a browser plugin, it is part of the browser. That means the plugin architechture does not need to exist (which has already been removed by all major browsers). Building wasm support into browsers was not an easy task, and "just embed hotspot" is not any easier.
