Rationality isn't entirely about getting x amount of people to 1 side. Plenty of people flock to the wrong side.

Your post is similarly akin to complaining that people kill innocent spiders meanwhile homeless people die everyday. The way you prioritize cryptocurrency as a huge evil is completely silly and nonsensical

@yegg, is DuckDuckHack coming back?

That was one of my first forays into open source and was hoping that there is more that I (and the community) can do to help improve DDG further.
I wasn't objecting to anything, I just thought the phrasing was rather maladroit, and commented on it because it was a humourous grammatical mistake.

I am thankful that you linked to the post 9 months ago that dang objected to; that's definitely an improvement on the previous HN moderation pattern of reprimanding without a link. Is there any chance that you could expose to users a way to see what moderators have objected to in the past about themselves? I think this sort of individual openness would go a long way.

edit: Also, it'd help one keep track of what the HN moderators are concerned about.

Just a personal opinion from an American who's effectively European, so take it for what it's worth:

I get the impression the USA has been in a slow general decline for a decade or more. A whole bunch of indicators of societal health like life expectancy, poverty, inequality, upward mobility, teen pregnancy, prison population, etc. etc. are at odds with the USA's position as the world's wealthiest nation; as a result, the World Economic Forum (whoever they are?) have announced the US is at risk of losing its status as a developed nation (or something like that).

Whether justified or not, this is shocking news and means there's something systemically wrong. US corporations are discovering it's more profitable to litigate than to innovate, and more effective to buy Congressmen as rubber-stampers of friendly legislation than to do good business.

The USA dropped the ball badly on stem cell research and its multi-billion-dollar health spinoff industries, and again on renewable energy and carbon emission reduction. Since I got my degree, universities have turned into money making industries rather than institutions of scholarship and research... just a few things I've noticed, that in sum can't be good. I think the US will have trouble maintaining its economic position if its middle class is struggling, academics is de-valued and investment is mostly oriented toward short term gains.

I think there is a large proportion of working class conservative voters, especially in the south east of England. I realise many groups have tried to make political capital out of the tragedy of Grenfell Tower, but it's more cock-up than conspiracy.
Good. Glad to see DDG keeps moving forward.

It would effectively take the form that if a country or maybe provider is generating coal power, they are unable to export any power.

I'm not arguing this would fix everything, just adding direct negative to using coal. If you need coal to make your own country function, fine go ahead that's still a problem that exists.

First off, you're wrong. Cyclists can absolutely be found at fault.

Secondly, cyclist scofflaw-ness is mostly a result of a transportation system that's hostile to them. The Dutch aren't nicer cyclists because they're born that way, superior to Americans; they're nicer cyclists because the system there largely respects people on bikes, and so the system receives respect in return.

Go to any city with widespread segregated bike lanes and bike lights, and you'll likely find a culture where cyclists are no more likely to break the law than pedestrians or motorists.

Third, motorists are hardly exempt from constant law-breaking. How often do people not signal, or roll through stop signs, or enter the intersection right after the light turns red, or park in a bike lane, or 'block the box', or tailgate, or break the speed limit? I've lived in enough places in the US to know that the answer is "constantly". And all that with a vehicle that's vastly more dangerous than any bike or jogger.

I mean, my god, one of the most common and stereotypical complaints in America about where anyone lives is "ugh, drivers in [state] are the WORST".

It also helped that the portion of the community BCH represented included the owner of bitcoin.com and a few of the other major sites and services. (Also one of the major mining hardware providers, though I'm not sure how well that worked out - they forced miners to use it for hardware purchases at a time when it was borderline-unusable, which can't have left a good impression.)
They first accidentally sent out an emergency text message saying there was an incoming missile. Then they wanted to retract it, but the emergency message system did not have a way to send a "sorry, false alarm" message, so they relied on twitter and other media to do so (and this was delayed).
I should clarify that by antagonism I don't mean individual negativity or dislike for...

I mean conscious lack of interest at a design level in engaging those populations. The situation you describe, to me, is a manifestation of that cultural antagonism. That situation exists because society is squeezing out people who walk.
Almost. Perl 6 was always meant to be a step beyond Perl 5 rather than just an extension or evolution, but initially, Perl 5 was supposed to be a supported syntax. It would be one of many supported by the runtime, and the primary syntax people meant when they said "Perl 6" was going to be a clean break from the past — which excited many people such as myself who despised Perl 5 while envying its terseness — but the underlying engine was supposed to support Perl 5 with seamless interop from Perl 6.

When they gave that up, they needed to work out a completely new plan for maintaining interest and driving adoption, but instead of reassessing they seem to have decided "who cares, it's gonna be so awesome that it won't matter." It might work, but I'm not holding my breath.

> all the people that this would affect negatively ... have the power to prevent it

This is based on the incorrect assumption that the people being gouged by variable pricing are rich (or at least "not poor").

> (as OC described)

The OC's pricing - like his patently incorrect view of teacher income - isn't based on reality. Being poor is very expensive[1][2]. The entire point of this new wave of price discrimination is to use modern data analysis to minimax how much each individual can be gouged. This is always regressive, because the poor do not have the same ability to shop around for better deals, buy in bulk, and other money-saving techniques that require up-front investment of time and/or money.

The process for introducing an insulin-gene plasmid, then selecting for and breeding the resulting recombinant bacteria is 101 level biochemistry that a Masters student could do in almost any decently equipped laboratory.

Isolating the chemical on an industrial scale is where the difficulty comes in, but most of the equipment is fairly commoditized and it isn't prohibitively expensive or skill intensive. The marginal cost following the relatively inexpensive setup is exceptionally low, too - you feed the bugs, they make your drugs.

Insulin would be priced as a commodity if not for the IP, approval and distribution issues - small biotech suffers from very poor distribution networks.
Well it's really a problem in so far as the bank employee thinks they can influence the market. The bank may care marginally about an employee influencing crypto markets but what they're really worried about is an employee influencing bank customers.

There is a huge and pervasive belief in the bitcoin community that they really need to talk up bitcoin, nothing that can happen to bitcoin is really bad, it's destined to climb higher, etc. Even on this board I've read stuff like 'if the top 1% only put 1% of their portfolios in bitcoin it would be worth a gajillion times more.' I can understand wanting to make sure your employees aren't feeling that same way when they're making investment decisions with other peoples money.
It was facetious to make a point. If the you are happy to ignore evidence/science because you "hate that response" your argument isn't wort much.
Everything I am reading indicates that:

A. Linus doesn't do this very often. Most of the time, he is perfectly well mannered. But we don't hear about that. We only hear about these incidents.

B. Most of his work conversations occur on the public record. So anyone can get hold of it when he gets riled. When a CEO gets riled, that is much more likely to occur privately and get covered up.

C. He created Linux for free. It is his passion. It shouldn't be surprising that he feels strongly about it when it is threatened.

D. A corporation is trying to fuck his project over, no doubt for personal financial gain. In my book, that is a vastly bigger offense than a little swearing. Etiquette that focuses on polite words and excuses more serious offenses is not a good thing. If corporate culture were really the better answer here, then Linus' tirade would have never happened because Intel would not be trying to crap all over Linux to begin with.

So I find it incomprehensible that anyone would suggest that the solution here is for Linus to operate more like BigCo. He is a guardian of a public good. He is defending it from corporate greed. The lack of moral responsibility of a large corporation is the very reason he is cussing. Expecting him to be more like them amounts to asking him to sell us all out for money and the sake of saving face in public rather than taking a stand on our behalf.

The real focus of this discussion should not be the language Linus used. It should be "What the hell, Intel?" But I am not seeing that focus.

And I can tell you why I am not seeing it: Because no one is surprised or shocked that a corporation would do something so terrible. In fact, we expect it. So we don't bother to try to hold corporations to a moral standard.

Instead, we expect people like Linus to meet a moral standard because he consistently does. Then we give him hell when that isn't an easy thing to do in this shitty world.

The real solution to this problem is to be pissed at Intel, not lecturing Linus that he needs to behave better, just like corporations do. A corporation is the root cause of this issue.

That isn't a straw man. It is the crux of the problem here.
When funding for your school is based off of test scores in a horrible way this is what we get.

According to this same article, 1% of Europe's current reserves are in yuan, and $611 million is about 1% of that 1%. Or, in other words, 0.01% of the total 6.9 Trillion. Actually a bit less than that.

You learned pretty much everything that you are doing right now and I am fairly certain that 99% or more of that was learned without you feeling bad about yourself.

I for one can't remember a single lesson from school, yet I can still recall some of the stuff I learned and apply it, despite nobody yelling at me for doing it wrong at some point.

Being upfront and honest about stuff is all nice and good but when I give a code review or get one, I find it far better to constructively discuss stuff and not yell at people or insult them for whatever reason. Linus did not even ask why it was done that way, he did not have all the info. Would you prefer being instulted for doing something the "wrong" way, eventhough you had a perfectly good reason for doing it that way? Even if you knew it was "wrong" but there just isn't a good solution and you are just trying to fix the problem at hand?
Except the energy that has been burned in the last 9 years used to create them. The security comes from the need to spend as much energy to 'undo' them.

Where do alts (esp non POW alts) get their value? Because people want to trade them to get more bitcoin, which has value as per above.

Not to mention that when you use gas in a car, a lot of it is wasted. When you use the grid to power electric means of transportation, like trains, that energy is evenly distributed as needed, and plants will increase or reduce production in accordance to estimated demand.
how About a space game where you move cargo ships around and manufacture and trade goods. You could teach about coordinate systems and math. Players need to figure out optimum things to haul for their amount of available funds. Different players could have different capabilities and teams need to figure out how to work together to accomplish more together as a team than they could on their own. Game space shows what the cargo is and how far a ship can move with its current cargo.

The Submarine (2005)
About a decade ago a friend applied to become an owner-operator at Chik Fil A. He had years of experience managing multiple car washes, and a letter of recommendation from someone at corporate.

He made it from the initial multiple thousands of applicants to the second round of 500. Corporate told him to go work for 12+ months behind the counter in a Chik Fil A and then re-apply.

They had you rank your store location choices, and you moved where they told you to, if you were selected. I forget how many stores they were going to open a year, but I want to say it was around 100 back then.
Sure, but you don't need proof-of-work for that. All you need is for every participant to ratify the bylaws-as-code, which you can do with simple public/private signing. The only reason that proof-of-work is needed for a currency is that the ledger is changing constantly. For something that changes infrequently, the double-spend problem (or the contractual equivalent) isn't nearly as big of a deal.

Like I said, it depends on how you define "the blockchain". Many problems don't involve an open set of untrusted peers, and many problems don't require proof-of-work. So if you include those in the definition, then the blockchain isn't appropriate for a lot of those problems. And if you exclude those aspects, then what do you have left? A chain of cryptographically signed nodes that each point to their predecessor? That's been an underpinning of x.509 for, what, over 20 years? It's nothing new.
Because some people don't want to hear what he's saying.

So Ms. Newman used rhetorical landmines. But he's had practice dealing with those devices because he lectures smart alecky kids almost daily.
It's a long term play, I think. All of the tech becomes a sunk cost, and over time the removal of variable costs creates the ability to scale with costs still trending to 0, or, less upwardly.
That's called fraud.

I think a better approach would be to display an initially high price, and mention automatically applied coupons at checkout - or require the user to use their smartphone's app to apply the coupon.
One of the reasons I love Hacker News is because of the high quality of content and discussion. Looking like HN is nice but the fact that your top post includes a nice little "(((bankers)))" remark from /u/BigNuts881 was a rough reminder that this isn't to be a much better than just looking through the results of a broad Twitter search.
Yeah you're right. I should have worded that differently, my point was that in using the term "moron", he was focusing on the interface design: code.

Linus' tone is not really defensible, but I just don't think the response compares favourably either.

And, perhaps more importantly, Linus' concerns aren't addressed and the response isn't particularly informative. dwmw2 mentions in comments here on this HN thread that he has been pushing back on Linus' concerns, but the response appears rather to defend those decisions in Intel. Perhaps I misread?
Minimum value would be the work/energy needwd to create blocks that enable safe storage and avoid double spending. So there is that.
This comment made me think of the movie Steam Boy.

If you're talking about local, non-arterial roads, those are much worse for pedestrians in the US too.

1. At least here in Munich, most of them here have enough space for one lane of parked cars, and one comfortable lane of traffic; if cars happen to approach each other on such a street, one has to pull out somewhere, or sometimes they can barely squeeze by each other. Contrast that with the US, where room enough for two lanes of parked cars and for two lanes of traffic (albeit without any markings) are the standard.

2. Setbacks here, both for businesses and homes, are much smaller than in the US.

3. There are many "cut-throughs" and little paths that are only permeable to pedestrians and cyclists, not cars.

The practical impact of the above is that streets here feel more human scale, cars travel more slowly, and walking and biking are more convenient. I let my six-year old son bike on the road on local streets here to get to the bakery or train station, something I'd never do in the bay area, where I'm originally from.
