>I don't think Google cares about how to monetise this, it benefits from this content being on the web

If that was true, there are so many properties that Google would still have running. Instead they shut them down because they couldn't be monetized.
Is it really your view that it's unacceptable to draw attention to a high priority queue or something like that, just because it might 'devalue' the beneficiaries of the policy?
I used to work very hard to produce low quality content and post it on hn twitter and whatnot. It was depressing to see very little traffic.

So i reduced the number of post, stopped posting on HN. Suddenly i have more traffic then ever. Though google is mostly responsible for it.

What i started doing more often is link to people i find interesting in my articles, that's the new blog roll replacement, and somehow it has pushed those to link back to me.

Ps: don't give up because no one likes your content, the majority will not like it anyway.

I agree 100%. "Autopilot" that I still have to stay 100% focused on is probably worse than just driving myself.
I'll suggest that there's a delicate dance to be had here ... you're right, anyone willing to go through setting up and managing their own server, will probably have "more to say", and dedicate more time and effort to doing so.

It's not a bad thing that social media brings down the barriers to sharing your thoughts ... what's bad is how those same platforms have, over time, gone above and beyond in measures to keep you on their site and stop you from actually clicking on the link and visiting the other site

Giant difference between skiing and making skiing movies...

We do seem to have a bit of an energy drink inspired progression fetish with certain sports. Warren's movies always seemed magical in that you'd see some people just having fun, there would definitely be some more extreme parts and you might see guys hucking off some giant cliff but there was always a constant thread of just skiing for joy. At least that's how it always looked to me and the parts of the movies I seem to remember the most. One of his last movies showed a bunch of footage from a privatized resort and Warren brought his old friends, like it was 50+ year olds skiing sick powder all by themselves, just old dudes skiing the best powder ever... It might have been the Yellowstone Club, I don't remember.

He made a brand and developed a loyal following, I think in today's world a lot feel that doing some crazy stuff is the easiest way to get the views, and it's all about the views. As for skiing itself, it's very much a family oriented activity in most places. The big resorts all have terrain parks now and some fairly extreme terrain that they've opened up but that vast majority of most mountains is designed to just be fun and relatively safe.

In Canada they certainly didn't mind for me. When clients were sending me cheques, I don't think I ever ran into any problems cashing them using the RBC "Photo of a cheque" thing.

I ran into way more difficulties with Quickbooks Payments accepting large credit card transactions. There were invisible thresholds that seemed to trigger Know-Your-Customer (KYC) rules, and the fact that those had been triggered seemed to be opaque to Tier 1 support. As far as everyone I talked to (at both QB and at RBC) the money had vanished into the aether, until a couple days later I got a call from someone in the QB Compliance department who had a few questions.
Wow, totally disagree. Instant-persistent-on is a much better and more intuitive experience than old "Cancel, Apply, Ok" settings paradigms.

They are referring to hiding individual tabs, not hiding the horizontal tab bar.

The legacy extension they are referring to is Tab Groups [0]. It allowed you to separate the tabs of a single session into groups. Selecting the active group would hide the other tabs.

Interesting 2017 JavaScript language feature proposals that weren't adopted
The number one cause of slowness for a page is the time it takes to parse, eval, and execute JavaScript (even if it is dead code).

So this static async bundle creation helps ensure that you are only shipping what you need on initial download.
In practice it's impossible to help someone with a software development problem in a standup. To understand their problem you almost always need a level of detail that's inappropriate for a standup.

You don't want to force 50 people to sit around waiting while two engineers discuss a problem for 5 minutes. Instead the meeting organizer should say, Sarah, you know about this area, can you connect with Justin after the meeting and see if you can help. Anyone else who has ideas is welcome to join.

Standups only work when people give a quick status update, their plans for the day, and call out any blockers. If it devolves into discussions of how to solve any problem it's no longer a standup. And anyone who schedules standups with more than a single focused team (preferably no more than a dozen people) just doesn't understand what a standup is for.

Ask HN: How do you “own your private keys” for cryptocurrencies held  Exchanges
Context: In light of the Coincheck Exchange's hack in Japan, @VinnyLingham‏ tweeted this

Text of Tweet

> #1 most important rule about owning Bitcoin. If you don’t own the private keys, you don’t own the Bitcoin. Do NOT leave your coins on exchanges!

What does he mean by "Do NOT leave your coins on exchanges"?

My question is, how do you "own your private keys" when trading and holding positions in cryptocurrencies at various exchanges.

The popular ones for US Residents are Kraken, GDAX (Coinbase), Gemini and I think Bitstamp also, so I would like to know the process of doing this if anyone knows.

If the solution is to move your cryptos out into a software or hardware wallet, then doesn't that add new complexities, in that you can really actively trade your positions without a whole bunch of steps and activities?
Okay, then why not using a web site built on a SQL database with a read-only public login?

They got it entirely wrong. Peterson has explicitly and repeatedly stated that he never intended to target young men specifically but, since YouTube's audience is predominantly male, supply-and-demand decided the distribution for him.

Edit: the article actually uses the vague term "the implied readers"... which I guess means it's the author's own implication. I have to agree with the above, heavily-downvoted comment above as such baseless speculation appears to serve the writer's agenda over the need to inform the reader.
And neither is Ripple, both of which seem to be the most affected.
The language and basic platform is not a problem. OpenCL was and is OK. However, the libraries are far and between. CUDA offers cuBLAS, cuFFT, cuDNN, cuSolve, etc. For OpenCL, even the decent BLAS library (CLBlast) had to be written by a guy who did it for free, while AMD's clBLAS is more or less stalled (and I never managed to build it on Linux in the first place), and that's it...

Interesting, he recommends the book:

> The Black Swan - The Impact of the Highly Improbable: Achieve deep thinking and not arrive to simplistic explanation.

When I first read that in 2013 it spurred my interest, which eventually lead to my current company:

https://projectpiglet.com/

The goal of which is to actually "identify" black swan events. The premise of a black swan is that you can't predict it, but I'd argue that quite often in a world of several billion people - someone has predicted it (typically those most in the know).

Anyway, it's a good book and I've actually been using the system I built (https://projectpiglet.com/) recently to watch the decline in hype around cryptocurrencies. Which just goes to show, as the author notes - you can often be too early (or late) to the game and it makes all the difference.

In 1989, Victor Allis "solved" the game of Connect 4, proving (apparently) that the first player can always force a win, even if both sides play perfectly.

You need to be keeping a ledger on technical debt, the same way any and all other "debt" is tracked - http://www.hydrick.net/?p=2394

"Here’s the thing, most of the time we do something that incurs technical debt, we know it then. It’d be nice if there’s a way for us to log the decisions we made, and the debt we incurred so we can factor it into planning and regular development work, instead of trying to pay it off when there’s no other alternative."

You added a predicate not present in the statement you replied to, "where mailprovider like LinkedIn_dump.mailprovider". Anecdotally, in authorized enterprise password audits I am frequently forced to remind people who were part of that breach that they need to change all instances of their compromised password, not just the one for the email they used in the breach. Maltego is a thing.

Also, with regard to your claim to have data about which passwords work. You should be aware that accessing someone's account with their username:password without permission (even a breached password) is likely illegal in the United States under the CFAA.
Keeping your buckets sorted is definitely important
I've only recently watch a few talks by Jordan Peterson, and haven't read the debate around him, but:

> (2) You don't care if secondary or tertiary points are illogical? If they're not important, or if the logical flaws can't be fixed, why do such secondary/tertiary points continue to be included along with the central point? It makes no sense to blame Peterson's camp for this in any case.

When you are discussing social movements the "opposition" is open ended. When you can pluck your examples from literally thousands of arguments and articulations, it's easy to pick out some ill-conceived notion, or simply misinterpret by taking it out of its context.

For instance, I watched a video where he talks about White Privilege (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zbDggKqt3KA), and he quotes one seminal piece (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peggy_McIntosh#Invisible_Knaps...), but that essay simply introduced the phrase to many people and opened a conversation. And he points out that some of the items may be class privilege instead of race privilege (though of course he wouldn't say "class" because that's Marxist!) So?

> The opposition should fix their damned arguments.

No one's going to go back 30 years and rewrite the Unpacking The Invisible Knapsack to clarify whatever confusion Jordan Peterson had with it. There's no hope so long as he plays the critic and selects the material he prefers to refute.

He's decided to engage with social movements. It's why he's popular, he's reacting to something that feels familiar to many people. If he engaged with any specific argument most people wouldn't care what he said, because most people don't care about any specific argument. You can't engage logically with a social movement, because there's no single logical basis, and there's no underlying authority which can be refuted.

Chairmen of SEC and CFTC Co-Author Article on Crypto Regulation
Similar has been a setting element in other fictional works as well. Best example I can think of is ComStar, from the BattleTech universe [1]. Originally the Terran Hegemony's comms department, and later a neutral corporation, it morphed a mystic religious order. For good or for ill, it managed to preserve the interstellar comms network and various pieces of advanced tech, despite some several hundred years of intermittent war.

It's not like the idea of a mystic or monastic order taking over education and knowledge preservation duties after the fall of a civilization is a fiction unto itself, either. This is exactly what happened in Europe between the fall of the Roman Empire and the Enlightenment.

When you ask your ISP for a static-IP address, your service goes from Residential to a more expensive Business account, and they open up outgoing mail ports. (At least for Verizon FIOS that I'm on, pretty sure Comcast is same as well.)

Cloud IP addresses are probably more problematic for spam blocklists.

"if you'll lose data in the process. Not every open page is static and some can have user input and what not. Exiting the browser will wipe it all out, and restarting it isn't going to help."

Not only that, but it can take a significant amount of time to restart the browser and reload the tabs you had open.

So just in terms of time wasted, accidentally quitting the browser and having to restart it is awful and painful compared to just canceling the quit.

Sure, but the big thing is the "serious" part. We're basically talking about the patch paradox[1]. At any point in time, someone could have stepped up and made it known they were willing to do the necessary work to move off XUL. But without a similar commitment from upstream to accept a future involving a mail client built on web standard tech, it would be a wasted effort. Heck, Nylas even built their own such email client, relicensed it to a compatible license (GPL -> MIT), reached out to say, "please use this" and ask how they could help, and still nothing happened.

The configuration of mail servers is so unbelievably grueling, it can almost reduce one to tears! I love having my email and data on my own server, but it is horrendously time consuming to get it up and running, and if something goes wrong, you could be looking at a weekend of work (often involving trial and error with poorly documented config formats). Sometimes I wish email could be replaced with something simpler but just as ubiquitous. Sigh
Thanks for the suggestion! I'll likely do a short screencast over the weekend to provide an overview and explain some of the features.
