The issue is often that even with modern medicine, the treatments for mental illness are less than ideal. The medications effectiveness can vary as can the side effects. So when people hear that at best they have a life-long condition that can at best be managed with medication that they have to take everyday (which can be expensive) and have to watch out for side effects and other health problems from the medications, of course people will look to anything that will give them hope.

Even in the most modern treatment center with the most modern drugs, they will have to restrain some patients (whether chemically or physically). This goes to show that we still are still at a very early stage in our understanding and treatment of mental illness.

How many times have you heard of faith healing for a torn ACL (anterior cruciate ligament in the knee)? I have never heard of it, because we have a common procedure that works very, very, well with little side effects other than the immediate pain and discomfort post-surgery.

In terms of glass houses, compared to anti-vaxxers and "raw" water drinkers in the US, the people seeking faith healing are at the level of Socrates in terms of logical thinking.

Thanks for the heads up, dang.

Truth is: for the first time ever, we've decided to talk about our machine learning approach and how we've managed to build our project, and we've thought many of the lessons learnt have value for the community.

We've really worked hard on the content of the post, trying to offer valuable insight on a number of things: how we work retention, onboarding, what's our learning process, and most importantly how we understand fashion taste. Lots of tips that imo are valuable for the community. And all this work, we've wanted to share it here on HN. Our friends are as excited as we are, and some have asked for questions / congrat'ed us here. No questions were planned.

About the title, it's what we've managed to do! While others spend millions on acquisition, we haven't, it's been product based, no tricks, its been done by building an efficient product, step by step, countless nights. Few people in this industry, outside the fashion space, know Chicisimo, and we wanted this to come to an end. I'd appreciate the flag to be lifted.

Agreed. The letter suggests the authors have a tenuous grip at best on logic. Perhaps their scientific endeavours are circumspect as well? (See what I did there, authors?)
Which just pushes the problem a little further away since eventually somebody will have to pay taxes in fiat so if your cryptocurrency is not convertible it's going to be a problem.
What's this from?
I don't know what the above comment was referring to but they are more than what you describe. I'd submit AMBA as an example of this; I've seen this tech utilised by IP for ASICs that don't actually contain any ARM processor cores themselves.

> My personal experience, when I could, is that you are never exposed to USDT on the site at all except as an option to transfer your deposited USD to another exchange via tether.

One exciting "feature" of all this is that most tickers that price out crypto currency values treat USD and USDT as one and the same. I've yet to see Bitfinex, for example, show up on a ticker as "BTC / USDT" (which is what, in fact, the pairing is).

It worries me because people use these things to inform their "investment" decisions and my hunch is most of the data they use is not quite on the up & up.
People focus far too much one rate and far too little on output cost.

Different companies are wildly more efficient per hour of work never mind that many just do much better work.

Rates are kind of ethereal. Maybe they are padding. Maybe they are just slow. Maybe they are throwing several resources on it. I don't know.

This is a big problem with procurement. People fixate on hourly costs and not total cost of project.
I would imagine if newspapers phrased it as "May enacts legislation which will allow the government to spy on what porn you look at" rather than the meek-mannered garbage they actually print, the opinion of the average person in the UK would be quite different.
I know that they offer it. And I know that I don't hear anyone complaining about them not honoring it, so I assume it works. I suppose it's theoretically possible they just offer it and nobody has even tried to take advantage of it, but that seems somewhat implausible to me.

I agree. I have a comment somewhere in my history saying the same thing. No matter how decentralized we like to imagine crypto to be, the fiat on and off ramps are highly centralized and can bring the whole thing crashing down in a hurry.

It raises the question, why is Google in the comparison shopping business.

Thinking about it, it makes sense for google though.
Web scraping and data analysis is their forte.

Ever since the release of the 2016 MBP redesign I've been hanging onto my late 2013 MacBook Pro for dear life.

I really want to upgrade, but I just can't justify spending thousands of dollars on a machine with a keyboard that can (could) be wiped out by dust particles, no function key row, and one that requires a pile of dongles be transported with it wherever it goes to support external hardware.

Just make the computer slightly longer and give me back my keyboard. The touch bar is neat, why does it have to be either/or?
Yes. But that is likely a way of trying to skirt money laundering laws by saying technically it's not equivalent to USD. The fact of the matter is that they do redeem it 1:1, and have this whole time.

AriseBank wasn't only acted on by SEC.

For example, "Texas Banking Commissioner Charles Cooper finalized a cease-and-desist order on Friday that said the company, which is registered to a Texas address, is not authorized to engage in the business of banking in the state. The order also noted that Texas law prevents use of the word “bank” in a way that implies to the public that the person is engaged in the business of banking in this state."

That was on Friday ... and, in an astonishing display of ignorance and arrogance, they published an open letter stating that they refuse to comply. As the department said, they have had a bunch of cases where people have used the term “bank” in a name, but they had never ever seen a firm refuse to back down. So they sent in the sherifs to ensure that they actually do cease and desist.
Thanks for this. It's true. Our main agency had a process of the Account Exec telling the Art Director who delegated to his team of designers. That is at least three people at varied costs.

I believe this is ultimately a question of lexicography: what do the terms "hash code" and "hash table" mean?

The name "hash code" comes (UIAVMM!) from the idea of chopping an input into little bits and mashing them all together, just like you'd do to potatoes or beef to make hash browns or steak haché. I imagine the name "hash table" comes from the fact that is typically probed using a hash code. In fact, i would be interested to know if the first hash tables had separate steps of hashing and input and reducing it to a table index, as modern ones do, or whether the input was hashed directly to an index.

An "identity hash" like this is clearly not made that way.

However, lexicography is not etymology. If you want to know what a word means, you have to look at how people use it. In the Java world, at least, anything that comes out of hashCode() is a hash code, even if it's not made by traditional hashing. And universally, the data structure implementing a map by reducing keys to indices into a table and then dealing with collisions somehow is known as a hash table.
"Because you shouldn't speed!"

Of course, that's silly (but you know there will be moralizers ready to say that, often the sort who wouldn't yield the passing lane to speeders). First, we have highways with higher speed limits anyways (up to 85mph in the U.S.). Second, people speed -- our highways and cars are generally designed to tolerate much higher speeds. I have seen caravans of cars drive up the NJ turnpike at speeds in excess of 130mph.

What's your reasoning behind needing it to be a default install? seems an odd requirement for an editor.

For instance, notepad is default on windows, and I'll use that when needed on vanilla windows machines, but for the 99% of my editor needs I install and customize a number of enviroments (including Vim). I don't mind whether it's installed by default or not.

That's like, your definition dude.

> The intrinsic value is the actual value of a company or an asset based on an underlying perception of its true value including all aspects of the business, in terms of both tangible and intangible factors. This value may or may not be the same as the current market value.

I think you missed the point, it's not that doing two profitable things is better than one, which you're right is always the case.

It's the more specific case of running businesses X and Y where X is dependent upon buying services that Y provides.

If you have a monopoly on Y (advertising), then it's easier to complete in X, because everyone else in X has to buy their Y services from you.

So you end up paying your competitor in order to compete with them.
> This would allow sharing them between threads.

This is an area where Rust ends up feeling different than many languages: xi's rope uses https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/std/rc/struct.Rc.html#metho... like this: https://github.com/google/xi-editor/blob/422948d62688dcc2ee0... , which gives you both options. This code uses Rc, not Arc, so it's not currently sharable between threads, but Arc has the same API.

Rust cares about sharing more than immutability.

Hi, good talk. I was wondering if you could elaborate more on your JSON RPC mechanism and the use of threads vs. processes. Coming from the Python world I could see it very hard or impossible to use one plugin written in Python2 and another written in Python3 within the same process.

I have successfully integrated several interpreters/event loops into the same process (C++/Boost, Python, Tcl/Tk, Qt). It was a real pain to implement and felt very hacky but worked.

Using processes you can achieve something like a micro-service architecture. An example of where I've seen this kind of coupling is the custom transfer agents in Git LFS.

https://github.com/git-lfs/git-lfs/blob/master/docs/custom-t...

They use processes and line delimited JSON for communication.
The Soviets were not bent on world conquest, but on securing a ring of buffer states around them as security for their country. Witness Stalin's betrayal of the communists in Greece as horse trading for influence elsewhere. Stalin's socialism in one country policy set against exporting revolution was in fact a huge point of contention with other factions of the Bolsheviks.

While the Soviets did harbour imperial ambitions against neighbouring states (Poland, Finland), this:

> had Hitler not attacked first, Stalin would probably just attack Germany within a short period of time

is blatantly false, and insultingly so given the millions of Soviet citizens who paid a bloody price for Stalin's total lack of readiness at the German border or mobilization against the Nazis.
I think the idea is that it probably matters very little to Apple or Samsung or any other company that has an architectural license how well the ARM originated core performs because they are building their own core and ARM is basically a standard committee to them. Obviously companies that are using the actual ARM cores care about ARM's ability to perform.
> Token transfers are much faster than wires/ACH and have less regulatory overhead. It benefits you to sell your bitcoins for USDT on one exchange and send the tether to another one. This is much faster and cheaper than selling for real USD and wiring the money to the second exchange.

Why wire money from one exchange to another? Is it to trade instruments that are available on one but not the other? Is it because your exchange does not have fiat withdrawals? Is it to take advantage of pricing arbitrage, because one of the two exchanges does not allow fiat withdrawals (How will you cash out, then, without paying a premium, that will eat your arbitrage?)

If so, why not just wire the bitcoins? Or Eth, or litecoin, or whatever? Why introduce conversion to USD or USDT as an intermediate step?

Tether seems to be solving a non-problem - or at least, it's not solving it in a way where its alleged USD peg provides any value. Use litecoin, or bch, or dogecoin, or whatever.
Unless a significant portion of the tether are converted to real dollars it wouldn't prove much. I'm sure bitfinex/tether are not completely broke and can afford to pay a few million of dollars easily. The only way we'll know for sure if they have the money is if somebody manages to get hold of their real financial info or if there's a bank run and they end up having to redeem a significant portion of the USDT they've emitted.

As far as I understand the current conditions for retrieving the real dollars from tether/bitfinex are dissuasive enough that most people won't bother doing that, so they just need to have enough liquidity to pay the small portion that will.
We should be looking forward to "xim" then? ;)
Why aren't we hearing from any Taiwanese Bitfinex customers with examples that they have successfully done so?

Are there even meaningful numbers of Taiwanese customers? Has it been marketed in Taiwan?

It seems unnecessarily reductive to claim that gold can have no valid alternatives, yet Bitcoin has no value because anyone can create an alternative.

I can start trying to use aluminum to hold value. It has intrinsic value through valid non-currency applications. Being able to do so in no way lessens the value of gold, and the ability to do the same thing with virtually any other material does not mean gold's effective intrinsic value is approximately zero.

It's the other factors you mentioned (robust market and long history of usage) that makes gold valuable relative to alternatives, and Bitcoin has factors that make it more valuable relative to other cryptocurrencies--including forks of Bitcoin. It's true that it is more likely Bitcoin is replaced by another crypto than gold replaced by another metal, but that's a far cry from Bitcoin's effective intrinsic value being approximately zero.

Google is exceedingly good at extracting value from every ad impression. Even if the marketplace wasn't ran by Google, I have no doubt that they would still be bidding high enough to get the vast majority of impressions simply because they have a higher threshold at which bidding is profitable.
Google: We compete against our competitors to see who can pay us the most money. And our competitors are complaining that they can't pay us as much money as we pay ourselves.

I haven’t spent too much time back there since I have two little ones (in car seats) back there.

But I did sit back there when we first got it and was really surprised at how much head room there was. I think the extra head space might be due to the glass roof.
So I actually looked up in my text book from way back how the course I learned this stuff in defined hash functions. I wanted to understand why this felt so wrong. According to that book a hash function is merely a mapping of a String (could also be called a word) of arbitrary length to a fixed length String, no requirement for having a nice distribution or ranomdishness. I guess this helps the V8 terminology, if one remembers that the fixed length part can be somewhat ignored when looking at numerical values.

> Thus, V8's hash function produces a hash value given the identity of some object

So if I got that right V8 is using the identity of an object as hash function, but since the identity is a virtual concept it replaces the identity with a randomly generated number - or is it later on doing something with that identity value? If not still feels strange to call that a hash, but I think I have to agree that it is a valid hash function given the definition.
