Why can't we just estimate the "real" value of BTC with the amount of work that goes into operating it.

We know the hashrate, we basically know what the hardware is that does the "mining", we know the cost of the hardware and we can estimate some mean electricity cost.

The hardware has no other real use (except for heating) so there is an upfront investment the miners were willing to pay and also how much they are continually willing to invest.

This is a real world in investment that is not easy to withdraw from the Bitcoin system

Let's say there are no nationwide standards. Texas attracts a California company with no minimum wage, no taxes, very little regulations. In this imaginary situation, Texas "created" jobs. But we are all worse off.

This was 5+ years ago; anyone from linux driver development community care to comment on situation nowadays?

My personal experience is that after some 20h invested in getting NVIDIA card running on Mint (ubuntu derivative) I just gave up. I remember trying official installer and unofficial packages, then both Optimus and Bumblebee. Each mistake in configuration would result in boot to black screen and time consuming revert to use Intel drivers. So I carry around useless piece of NVIDIA tech :/
That seems fine on its own, but it somewhat undermines the paragraph with "but they have all followed the same basic mechanism", seeing as these earlier attacks relying on caches etc did not follow this mechanism. Changing "all" to "most" or "many" would probably suffice.

It seems like the author is confused about the notion of cause and effect here.

1. Everyone in movies uses <thing>
2. People in the real world are using <thing>

Hamfisted? Sure. Effective? In a world where many people think that tablet=iPad, probably. The author, who is aware of Surface and its capabilities, just wrote another ad for Microsoft, after all. I learned about some features from this piece.

Gets old fast once you notice it? Well, getting noticed is the whole point. If you are spotting Surface in movies, you probably know enough already to buy it if it suits your needs. The whole point of giving it screentime is for the rest to notice that this shiny thingie is one of the thingies they saw at BestBuy the other week.

Anyhow, I'll be the last person not to kick MS for marketing. The lack of marketing is what killed Lumia, which I adore (still holding a grudge for that). But this, to me, looks like them finally figuring out that they need to actually try marketing their products before throwing the towel. Good news if you are an MS user. Gives hopes that they'll not abandon this ecosystem soon.
That's a strange argument.

Them not being directly controlled by governments doesn't mean that they exist in a vacuum. At the end of the day, it's people creating/buying/selling them, so obviously they're affected by: governments, natural disasters, wars, ...

That's something I would be interested in solutions to too, especially in a kubernetes environment with CI.

I could probably snapshot the kubernetes state to have an trail I can use to rollback to a point in time. Alternatively I thought about having CI updatemanifests in an integration repo and deploy from there, so that every change to the cluster is reflected by a commit in this repository.

Once the current batch of speculators cash out, volatility settles and it starts getting used as a currency then its price will start to edge up again, bringing in a new wave of speculators who drive up volatility making it less useful as a currency and loop starts over.
You work for the compensation, if the company thinks the compensation is fair for your output what is wrong? They could still be productive for their team while barely cracking 10 hours/week, what do you know?

Should people's work time be based on team loyalty? Shaming and pressuring "working for the team", "being a team player" is exactly the kind of behaviour of dysfunctional companies, teams and/or managers when pressuring overtime on employees.

I do push myself a bit more if I'm working with a team I enjoy but no way in hell I'm going to do 60-80 hours/week again in my life while getting a shitty pay because I feel I need to deliver project X that was sold for deadline Y that I had no input on.

No matter how much I like my team, if I'm not being paid for doing work I'm not doing it.

As a side-note: I include learning valuable skills and/or tools as part of "being paid for", if I can use my company's time to learn something that is useful in the industry it's fair enough, I just had a week where I stayed in the office afterwork hours to learn some Spark, for example.
As I mentioned in the comment, this is sort of a "good" problem to have, in that both spammers and copyright claims look for popular, well-known services to focus their efforts on. The problems will definitely exist at small scales too, but compared to the other difficulties mentioned, these are much smaller concerns initially.

The thing that kills me, is that I can whip together a fairly complex application in WinForms in hours, and it just works, and is easy to reason about. Trying to do the same with a web app, is like pulling teeth, there's so much ceremony, and so much surface area where things can go wrong.

There are in fact more levels - the definition of "level 3" is hand-wavy enough that it may capture everything, but there surely is at least a level 4, illustrated by the recent Hawaii missile alert: the software worked "as designed", but if it's easy to misuse it, can you actually argue that it was "correct"? Somewhat different (and ironically, illustrated in the article itself) are the very-reasonable-but-wrong assumptions about the environment: Take the case of Microsoft Windows & SimCity - who fixed the bug? Microsoft did... for all intents and purposes, even if in a technical/theoretical sense the Windows memory manager was "correct" - in a very practical sense, it was buggy and needed to be fixed. This occurs in practice far more frequently than we are willing to admit.
Personally, I think it's an issue that should fall under the legislation and authorities that deals with antitrust and with censorship. However, the big unspoken motivation behind network neutrality is people's perceived human right of having access to pirated entertainment media. This whole thing started around 15 years ago when broadband networks weren't and still aren't designed for peer to peer sharing of entertainment media, the impact this had on the networks were significant. ISPs had to deal with this because of the impact on their customers, as anyone would know who shared a contented connection with people who had a peer to peer piracy addiction in those days. This was before the time of most legitimate means we have nowadays to obtain entertainment media over the internet, before Youtube, iTunes video, Hulu, Netflix, etc.

The issue is that peer to peer sharing of sharing of pirated entertainment media is not protected by antitrust or censorship legislation, so a 'third way' had to be found, some kind of overriding principle that even trumps copyright law but without mentioning it. That's net neutrality, which I think is redundant now because there are many legitimate and affordable ways to get entertainment media and the networks can easily handle multiple forms of high quality streaming media, but the political momentum behind network neutrality is still there and exploited by some content providers for their own gain.
This article might sound interesting at first but it's really just grousing IMHO. Some of the ad deal details are interesting to note.

The real claim isn't actually that Surfaces aren't realistic; but rather that their usage is:
"My friends are all nerds. They have every device. Some of them even own Surfaces. But nobody just casually… pulls out a Surface."

Not a killer conclusion to me. I work in corporate IT sales, and I see them everywhere in offices, and/or with execs today. Most meetings I go to have at least one being used, and they're actually hard to keep in stock.

It would be an equally appropriate factor to say..."this is what the [movie|tv] execs are using, lets get some on set" (don't forget you often get to take things home after shooting!)

But it is.

It's not a product that's useful on its own like a toaster or CorelDRAW. Instead it sits at the middle of a two-sided market -- on the one hand publishers, on the other hand readers. If it had caught on it would have caught on.
Those kind of appointments are rarely made in lame duck administrations.

Usually interim professional staff fill in. That too is problematic because basically everyone eligible to retire has done so at State.

I own a Surface Book as well. I'm also a developer on KDE Plasma 5, and wrote quite a bit of the core UI of that product on the SB over the past 2 1/2 years.

It's not been a ride without bumps to run Linux on this thing (though it's quite easy now) -- but the uniquely wonderful display made the struggles worth it for me. Meanwhile Apple just doesn't really offer anything that sets them apart.
Today I would say Java/Scala mostly because of jvm access to huge numbers of libraries. But also because of things like Akka.

There may be other options depending on whether you consider JavaScript or Go to be a functional language.
As opposed to being able to just freely walk around as you please? You could say that, why not.

And if one insists on moving a 2 ton metal cage through a city going 30 mph or more, I think having to wait now and then is a reasonable trade-off. The natural habitat of the car is the highway and that's where it should stay.
I don't use it either, and I agree with the poster on that stackexchange link about it sounding like manager/marketing-speak, but when I see it, it makes me pause for a second to think about what really means (perhaps that's the point) --- I had this exchange with a coworker not long ago:

CW: ...and this way it'll be more performant too.

Me: Performant? As in faster?

CW: Yes.

Me (to self): Then why didn't you just say it'll be faster?

IMHO it obfuscates meaning and should be avoided; the surrounding discussion/vagueness about what it means (I don't think it means efficient, but only faster --- as in, a high-performance car) shows that too.

There's a glimmer of hope over here [1]. Microsoft updated the XAML Designer. The new designer has support for UWP but note the comments. In particular "WPF [support] will be shipped sometime after the UWP Designer has been released and stabilized."

How to Optimize for Voice Search and Voice Assistants
Mobile and desktop are two different beasts, and all the effort in the world won't make them equivalent. If you want to hit mobile devices, fine, use Xamarin. If youre building for desktop, use something that makes sense there, like WinForms or WPF. You've got wildly different screen sizes, form factors, and input devices between the two classes of devices, and always will. Cramming them together just gets lowest-common denominator garbage, like UWP.
I would love this to catch on wildly! DNS through TLS means it's all end-to-end encrypted, DNS reflection attacks are harder, etc. The "why even have protocols" doesn't make sense. Protocol can be layered just fine (HTTP itself is a good example). DNS as it exists now is another random special snowflake that vendors need corresponding snowflake implementations for.
Fascinating isn't it? So much for flexible working!

It seems to me like there are many companies out there who pay lip service to flexible working, but when it comes down to it they don't really like the idea of it. I actually think flexible working is something they FEAR. It could be a control issue. It could be the notion that if they give you 4 day working, then they have to give it to everyone!

Another thing is if you have a forty hour week and you want to work 4 ten hour days a lot of companies won't allow that either. Why? It's still a forty hour week!

It's funny because one of the most productive developers I've known only ever worked a four day week.

Would anyone from HR care to comment?

Of course, if you incentivise this, you destroy comments entirely as they fill with people pretending to be organic product recommendation.

The rules he was challenging had changed so what he wanted to do was no longer against the rules. His case was that the rules did not allow him to do something that was allowed by the constitution. As that situation no longer existed the case was dismissed.
At the guardian we use https://github.com/guardian/riff-raff

It takes a build from your build system (typically team city, but not exclusively) deploys it and record the deployment.

You can then check later what's currently deployed, or what was deployed at some point in time in order to match it with logs etc.

Not sure how useable it would be outside of our company though.
Except an agreement isn't really the same thing as a contract. For a contract to be legal, there has to be "consideration". I'm not sure if anything qualifies as consideration in this case.

> Tons of France's secular stance, for example, customs and institutions hark back from the era of the French Revolution

That's wrong. Secular stances in France are mostly coming from the time of the third Republic, beginning at the end of the XIX th century, culminating with the Church-State separation in 1905.

But since the third republic was established after the Prussian victory over Napoleon III, you can invoke the Prussians as being responsible for the secular stance in France. /s

> your answer can't be "the browser's implementation of the spec is shitty, blame them."

If it's a major browser which management cares about, then you should be testing with it already. If you're not, then logging user agent strings isn't going to help.

Logging user agent strings would help if, for example, an unexpectely-large proportion of users are using a "non-major" browser, in which your site is broken.

If the proportion is small, management won't care.

If the proportion is expected, then market/demographic research is partly to blame; update the spec.

If the browser is "major", you should be testing with it anyway.

If the site isn't broken, there's no problem.
Ask HN: How satisfied are users with online help systems
I'm working on a Guided Help System for various online/technical services. Our Customer satisfaction level hovers around 50%, the sales division of the company is at about 75% satisfaction level.

I expect that help's satisfaction level can be improved but I wonder by how much considering that people who come to the site are anyway coming because they're mad about something not working. Any resources to find studies as to user satisfaction with help systems?
I've turned down quite a few over the years. In addition to those already mentioned I would add:

* Excessive commute

* Lack of flexible working

* Lack of remote working

* Poor office space

* Lack of free parking

* No showers (important if you cycle in)

* Gut feeling was not good

It's not usually just one of the above, but some combination of weighted factors.

Funnily enough I don't think I have ever turned down a job because of the money, or taken a job just because of the money, I'm far more interested in work-life balance - cutting out the commute has always added massively to my general well-being.

I don't think the other commenters are giving you the whole story. Read the suit. The specific injunction sought under "arbitrary and capricious" is that the FCC is failing to uphold their responsibility based on a 2016 court ruling which pivoted on the decision that classification broadband as a Common Carrier should be upheld - NOT Title II itself. What concerns me about this is that even though they do seem to have a valid argument, if you read the ruling on the case in question[0], it pivots on the court's understanding of Common Carrier. And the court's opinion is not a simple statement of fact. The issue is explored with nuance and deeply wedded to a discussion of anti-trust issues, which is why I remarked elsewhere on this discussion that the FTC should be compelled to step in if abuses happen, which is what sitting Chair Ohlhausen has publicly committed to do[1]

It's true that the same miles are still being accrued, just by a Lyft car rather than a personal car.

However, when multiple people use a lyft car throughout the day, it is more efficient than having each person own their own car. Maintenance, insurance, and the construction of the car itself are all shared.

Perhaps it's half a full time car off the road.
