It's a relatively new problem caused by an influx of inexperienced programmers who have to experience these problems first-hand.

They do learn, but they can't teach what they learned because of the ever increasing influx of new, unexperienced programmers.

I highly recommend this talk by Uncle Bob (have a tea and a foot bath, it's long): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ecIWPzGEbFc
Thank you for the reply.

Why physics? What does a physics degree bring to the table? Just extensive math?
In the previous 3 bubbles bitcoin stabilized after the crash around 2-3 times the top of the previous bubble.

So applying this logic, the bottom of this bubble should be around $2-4k. For a couple of reasons however this bubble is different - lots of finance guys participating. Because they are experienced they will buy ahead of that to make sure they don't miss the bottom. So I see this bubble bottoming at $5k. This has the nice property that most of the "dumb money" who entered in Nov-Dec without any idea about trading or cryptos will lose money (markets tend to make sure that people who entered during a frenzy lose).
Referrer is also a client thing. Referrer based hotlink protection implicitly trusts the visitors' UAs. Same for Origin; it just offloads the actual check to the visitor. No big difference.

HTTP Auth, on the other hand, is actual password protection which cannot be spoofed by a malicious client. Very different from robots.txt.
And there actually was... PayPal itself is still (after this news) worth more than both eBay and PayPal were as a single company. Add both together and it was an obvious win.

AppleCare falls under “Services” in that PDF, so that can’t be it.

Or is “AppleCare+” different from “AppleCare”? (That wouldn’t fully surprise me, given that Apple tries to be as unclear as the SEC allows them to be in their reporting)
Generally, Adyen is cheaper than Stripe but Stripe is easier to integrate. When considering moving from Stripe to Adyen, It comes down to a equation of dev cost/resources to integrate to Adyen compared to the amount of reduced fees/increase auth rates.

The more volume you process, the more a switch makes sense. and this difference of mentality is reflected by the fact Adyen has minimum monthly invoices when Stripe does not.
By definition it’s “lack of experience”. So definitely, objectively better.
I am surprised with the comments again airbnb here. I have used nothing else but airbnb for last 3 years. They have amazing properties with prime locations for reasonable price. I normally dont care for hotel services i.e. gym,in-room food etc so its perfect. Usually the cost comes down to half than the hotels.
I'd like to know what you consider to be "unsolvable" problems. While there are other cryptocurrencies solving problems in different ways, none have been around as long as BTC and none have endured the trials that BTC managed to survive. I'm rather shocked that the system has been so robust.

I think a fallacy many make is that this is open source, not corporate-created software. That changes a lot of the context. For years, people compared Linux to Windows and Mac and I can't count the number of times Linux was dead. I can probably actually count the times that Bitcoin was dead, but it's still a lot.

If you watch other crypto prices, many are tightly bound to BTC. I expect to see Bitcoin has a core part of the cryptocurrency network of the future. Maybe BTC won't be the ultra high-speed payment provider we had hoped for, but it's really difficult for me to accept that it will die off.

Ultimately, we're all speculating. I love that this is such uncharted territory.
I feel like that would be pretty trivial to reverse engineer if anyone cared to.
Or even work on case-sensitive macOS partitions. As far as I know, they are the only major mac software to explicitly hold that back.
it can be hacked or compromised. at which point it becomes imaginary
Are humans good or bad at driving?
Until a few years ago, humans defined entirely what "driving" was. Now two things can drive, humans and the autobots. Currently it seems we are better than the autobots. We are still the best drivers around, and good enough to make driving legal and widespread.

Deaths per mile or whatever summary statistic is just descriptive; I don't see an obvious, natural baseline.

Perhaps we could say something about the question are human-controlled automobiles a safe form of travel relative to other modes of transportation? Or maybe calling humans bad drivers just highlights tbe risks of driving. But assessing the quality of driving of the human population still seems tautological to me.
> The people that work on upstream k8s in Google (Tim et al) have a pretty limited overlap with the Google Cloud people that run GKE. Upstream k8s is a full time job so they are most certainly not spending their time also writing internal GKE code.

This statement is absolutely false. There is no upstream team separate from Google Cloud team. There is only the GKE team.

This is a great post, and specifically what we preach to our customers. Having data that is exportable, respects the developers' time, and accurate is immensely important, and specifically what we focus on. We get flak sometimes for focusing too much on developers and not enough on security engineers, but we really do think that's the future.

If you agreed with this post, or if you're interested in chatting about DAST for web applications or APIs (launching next month, actually thorough scanning of APIs that isn't just throwing a webapp scanner against it), feel free to reach out. I'd love to chat.
I stand corrected, thanks for the insight!
Bitcoin is currently the world's reserve cryptocurrency - All cryptocurrencies can be exchanged for Bitcoin. But unfortunately in technical terms, it's not fit for this purpose.

The reserve cryptocurrency of the internet needs to be fast and offer cheap transactions so that it can easily and cheaply be moved between exchanges.

I think it will take some time before another cryptocurrency takes the place of Bitcoin. Part of the problem is that very few people currently have the skills to evaluate a cryptocurrency based on its technical merits. So exchanges are not currently in a position to agree about what the next reserve cryptocurrency should be.

I think that replacing Bitcoin with Ethereum right now would be a mistake. Ethereum has a lot of big scalability hurdles - I think that technically Ethereum actually has more hurdles to overcome than Bitcoin - Their community does seem a lot more motivated though; but I'm not sure that will be enough. Ethereum still needs to switch to Proof-of-Stake and THEN it needs to implement sharding.

Also, I don't think that pruning will be feasible for Ethereum. It wouldn't make sense to prune the Ethereum blockchain because that would entail pruning out smart contracts. Most no-smart-contract cryptocurrencies are not limited in this way.
I use RefControl in Firefox. I've set the default to be the root of the destination site. That is, for example, clicking a link to https://foo.com sends https://foo.com as the referrer.
I assume Coinbase prices come from GDAX. Anyone know for sure?
Thanks, I've enjoyed it a lot, strange how I haven't heard about Adam Curtis earlier. When I watched it, I've had a similar feeling as that during the first semester of philosophy class - things I've noticed and ideas I've had before were not novel, and here is a whole movie made to organize these things in my head.
Thought the narrative of isolated bubbles in social networks would resonate with HN crowd.
Because there are hundreds of options to choose from?
While trying to parse the 2016 election I watched Steve Bannon’s magnum opus Generation Zero[1] and was struck by how much certain parts of it felt like an Adam Curtis film, with its heavy use of stock footage for tone rather than exposition. My main problem with Adam Curtis is that he’s more of a political artist than a historian, but his fans treat him like the latter. I guess that’s the problem with Bannon too.

> Sweating thousands of minor details is what separates Apple from other companies. Their ability to do that is hard-won, but damn it’s pretty to watch.

Wish they would sweat the minor details on their other products that aren't flagship products a swell. Take a look at their USB-C Digital dongle as an prime example. 2-star rating for a $70 dongle, almost universally because of the same fundamental problem.

No, the iPhone X is not a minor detail.
I have had no issues with my hardware - although it does take a little bit of extra time to get things working (i.e. nonfree firmware required for the wifi).
I don't think you're wrong.

I do think that a pick-and-place machine is probably more compatible with the hobbyist world than home CNC - given that CNC inherrently requires robust construction, and robust, accurate components are inherrently expensive. I mean - this machine looks more or less like a 3d printer with some reels, and a scanner. Once 3D printing becomes a cheap technology, things that require accurate repetitive movement become cheaper too.

I wouldn't be entirely surprised if stuff like small robotic arms become available to the hobbyist in the next 50 years or so, simply because being able to do arbitrary tasks with a high degree of accuracy is incredibly useful.

At the point where CNC, not as in cutting, but as in general computer-controlled movement, is an ordinary part of the workshop, I wouldn't be surprised if things like this ended up in hobbbyist spaces.
Could you provide an example of solutions without real problems, game engines or otherwise?
The other way to look at it is that the phones need to be thinner to make them a reasonable size with a case on them. Cases are a consumable--mine has a ton of dings in it that otherwise the iPhone itself would've absorbed.
Apple's biggest asset has always been design. On a tehnical basis Apple products sometimes beat the competition and sometimes are outdone by the likes of Samsung, Thinkpad, etc. They have dominated the American consumer market because of fit and finish, attention to detail, and overall functional beauty in design. The flaws you're speaking of are a different sort from the, frankly weird looking, notch. While executed as well as possible, its a design compromise.
this is quite neat, do you do the control through hardware that BBOXX installs, as in is everything proprietary?

price can be irrelevant. i have mates that buy on one exchange and sell on another right away. they make weekly on the difference. some cap you at what you can buy/sell and increase what you're allowed each time. with a few $k you can make $150 a week. i.e buy on coinbase if that's cheapest. transfer to another another exchange and sell. bingo. few of them been doing it for months.

This is not necessarily a bad thing unless it's some kind of issue that requires a doctor's attention.

Most people are in the rat race of this materialistic life and do not even get time to think, let alone find meaning and purpose of their life which is not necessarily worldly as proven by your lottery comment.

My advice - see if connecting with God and reflecting on his creations helps you find the right path and purpose.

If you like it, great. But the idea that people are just criticizing to knock on the #1 guy is a sloppy story. There are reasons for disliking the touchbar, particularly as a replacement for a row of keys. The tactile feedback from keys is missing. And the "flexibility" has its own problems -- for example, consider changing the audio volume with keys vs with the touchbar. With keys it's easy as pie to silence or incrementally change the volume without even interrupting your visual attention. The new interaction with the UI that requires a shift of your visual attention. You can't tap on a spot repeatedly for a few quick steps, because the UI transforms into a slider, which you have to reorient on, find the correct spot and drag around. Yeah, if I wanted to change the sound volume that way, I already had an option for it with the touchpad that's been there for decades and isn't any less conveniently located than the new touchbar.

And in general that's the case. It's been easy to have point-and-slide control over arbitrary UI laptop elements as long as there've been touchpads. The difference between a touchscreen and touchpad is marginal. At some margins -- particularly the operation of pocket computers with a form factor about the size of a laptop touchpad -- that's been tremendously useful, but I don't see any evidence that anyone's come up with something that genuinely matters for laptops yet.
ETH is up 17% this week over BTC. it might already be becoming the new reserve currency: https://coinzaa.com/tools?limit=200&base=BTC

Also , i m not sure how often people use BTC to transfer stuff between exchanges, it's just too slow and expensive. i think ppl use LTC or ETH more often for transfers.
It’s a sport in the same way that a tomato is a vegetable; by some definitions it is, by others it isn’t. What annoys me is that videogames have a chance to be themselves without glomming onto “sports” like chess and other games. Chess doesn’t need to be called a sport to be worthwhile and respectable, and neither do videogames.

For the sake of money and “mindshare” though? Chess and Starcraft are sports, and tomatoes are veggies.
Nothing was ever preventing Apple from bringing back that cash but greed. While it's good that they're finally going to pay some taxes this one time, no one should be ecstatic about this. They're just going to keep doing the same thing they were doing until they get another tax cut. Meanwhile, education, roads, civil services, all of the things that enable Apple to be as successful as they are, will languish because Apple and apologists don't believe they should help out.
Why? I would think that the idea of the company pushing its tax burden onto its employees is the one that should be under scrutiny.
I remembered that eBay spun off PayPal, but I thought PayPal still owned x.com. But after checking, it looks like Elon Musk held onto that domain before selling his steak in PayPal.
It's inevitable that a trust implementation outside of marketplace services eventually dominates. This removes most of their value add.
What did they mean here then: "if Jahi was a little white girl, I feel we would have gotten a little more help and attention."

"White girl" seems to be a differentiating factor in their opinion, does whiteness not have anything to do with racism?
Brian O’Blivion was heavily based on Marshall McLuhan if you want to go further down the rabbit hole.
I don't choose Apple for options. I choose Apple for devices that work and get out of my way. Customization is not always a feature. This is a similar philosophy to sane defaults in software.

From my perspective the aftermarket cell phone case fixes a flaw in the design.
Is the government going to mandate that all self driving car software be open source? Otherwise, Hell no. I'm not putting my life in the hands of a proprietary, corporate, spyware ridden death trap.
I completely disagree. The complexity and risk of a change goes up with the square of the size of the change. Having moved from upgrading when forced to (almost) continuous upgrading, the number of moving parts in any given change is small and the frequency means we become skilled at rolling out changes safely.
Consider the source.

Granted, the choice of metric and scope of measurement is as much an opinion as concluding that humans are "terrible" at driving, but I still don't see how OP's choice of metric was more misleading than yours. And Tesla is not full-AI/automated, nor do I think the OP argued that Autopilot or any AI system was any better than humans.

I think you misinterpret the OP if you think he was making the case that self-driving cara have a low-bar to pass. It seemed to me that his whole spiel is that AI is a very difficult thing, and that the issues about AI and self-driving are not just about technology.

To be fair, the OP's phrasing is open to interpretation. I see him arguing that humans are bad at mechanical consistency, and this is most evident in driving because driving is a highly mechanical activity that most of us do. That more of us don't die is because of the many decisions made outside of our control. Not just automotive tech, but law and policy and zoning decisions that reduce the frequency and variety of scenarios in which we have to make a split-second reaction.

Alternate interpretation: people are slightly interested in the puzzle and make an internal decision that they would prefer to take the time to learn to solve other problems (in work or life) rather than to spend the effort on what is explicitly a puzzle when they learn what would be involved.
I'm pretty sure the floor is the cost of deleting your wallet, so roughly $0.
The impact would have been terrible and the threat of infill started the "Save the Bay" movement. https://www.savesfbay.org/history
I don't ask this rhetorically: why would a Tether collapse negatively affect Bitcoin? If anything, it's proof that fiat-backed financial tools are flawed at inception. If there's a run and people need to dump USDT, it seems they will flood into BTC/ETH, not try to convert to USD/fiat.
The upper bound is just as important for working out an insurance premium...
The Wire needs to do a new season and incorporate this. Truth is stranger than fiction.
Kubernetes’ governance is becoming like Openstack and (I know this is controversial), I hate Openstack, especially because it tried so hard to be “AWS” compatible, and APIs are so awkward to use.

Cloudfoundry is better in terms of governance and project’s direction. Many of the main developers work full time at Pivtoal. But it is hard to run your own CF without significant investment like access management and “painless” upgrade (etcd is a pain in the entire CF stack in my experience). Though I have to admit the project is moving in the right direction in the past year or so.
I've thought this would be a good way to write video games, but most engines don't support the sort of functional programming that would make this pleasant to use, so I wind up creating events which solve similar kinds of problems. For games, the primary benefit would be to decouple various game components so you can create and remove them without having to worry about a complex web of dependencies and state. It keeps things declarative, which also helps the web of interdependedness problem of many, overlapping systems.
Yeah, some should really fix that scrolling issue... (FF here too)
I think studies like this are important to determine the importance of sleep and the right amount. For example, this study suggests that too much sleep is harmful, which isn't a universally agreed-on point.

Additionally, sleeping isn't a binary thing. People do mini cost-benefit analyses: sleep an extra hour vs do more work? Sleep vs talk to a friend? Sleep more or spend time eating a slow, healthy breakfast?

Maybe the health benefits of sitting down and eating a healthy breakfast outweigh the benefits of sleeping by a large margin, although both are helpful. More research could help people make decisions about how much they sleep.
Elon bought x.com back from PayPal in July 2017.

Absolutely. The day traders switched to Eth as a reserve back in December when Bitcoin shit the bed under the load of main stream media attention. It's not perfect, but it's an order of magnitude faster and cheaper than Bitcoin.

I think Bitcoin will be seen like Geocities some day. A hell of an idea that many people have done much better.
> But unfortunately in technical terms, it's not fit for this purpose.

Can you explain why, in technical terms?

I don't believe any other cryptocurrency has faced anywhere near the same volume of transactions.It looks to me like Etherium maxed out at around 230k transactions per day while Bitcoin has faced nearly 500k transactions.
Perhaps you’re right; it’s the kind of comment that would be obvious to my group of friends in other online communities, but I’m making too many assumptions about the audience here and how adversarial discussions can get. It’s one of the reasons I struggle with bigger online communities where you can’t as easily develop a report. Next time I’m joking around I’ll try to slip in a disclaimer even if it takes some of the oomph out of my joke :P.
Not really. I mean this would be more like Top Chef on demand with no fixed menu. There's an inventory of non-perishable/perishable ingredients available in a commercial kitchen. If a lot of people want to order some meal then that gets made with some scheduled delivery time.

Surprised no one's attempted the "Uber for whatever meal your heart desires prepped by a personal chef." It'd be expensive, yes, but I could see that being a luxury food delivery option that would be appealing to someone with money but no personal chef.
Reachability on an x is done by swiping down the bottom edge of the screen, and it really does feel a lot more natural than the double-tap of the older iPhones.
Naively, yes, yes I did. Dammit Facebook. There's a reason why I changed the settings. I figured it was like browsing the new queue here.
I wasn't exactly sure which direction to read it :-) We often get questions around our underlying infrastructure and how we process payments (this is what I work on at Stripe!), so that bias is probably affecting my read...
I guess they're trying out the Amazon model?

I think he mixes hard facts, like descriptions of events that undeniably happened, a lot with interpretations or connections he draws and that he often presents as causations but then fails to substantiate them. It may be plausible that X did Y because of Z but that is not really supported by any facts and could as well just be a correlation. If you watch carefully enough you can spot those things but if you are watching more casually and enjoy the pictures and the music it becomes easy to miss such things. I think if the story was narrated in a dryer, more classical documentary style it would be more evident whether and where there are holes in the argument, after all the visuals and music certainly consume part of your attention.
