Broadly, they have indirect player interaction and abstract physical components (eg Ticket to Ride), but more importantly in this context, they are board games that often do not use dice or a spinner to introduce randomness. Strategy then becomes a "boring" matter of executing an algorithm.

(There are many exceptions that do use die/dice, but for those that have not played board games invented after Monopoly, the idea of a board game that does not have die-introduced randomness may be quite foreign.)

Show HN: BLUECHXP, trading made simple and fun
I've had zero accidents in my entire phone-owning life since 2004, including 3 smartphones. I still prefer the safety of cases. To me, you don't sound sanctimonious, you sound arrogant and risk-seeking. To each their own, I guess. I think cases are worth it and don't care about any of the alleged negatives. Others think differently.

I love the idea of getting more feedback to people building things.

It will be awesome to not just provide feedback that is 'shallow', i.e. sentiment, but to make it easier to provide more constructive feedback.

Perhaps dig into the past 100K comments on Show HN's, categories them, and make it easy to put a large set of them. Leaving comments for more detailed discussions.

One challenge though is that development.kitchen is pulling content out of HN in this way. It might be handy if you had a browser extension that injected the content back into the site so that people could easily see existing feedback.

I disable referers for all browsers. Firefox has them off completely, with Referer Control using a random one for Chrome. I only enable them for sites that absolutely need them (and that I need to use).

I agree that law enforcement policy in the US needs to be reformed, but the idea that police en masse are murderous is wildly inaccurate and generally damaging to police, to communities, and to any potential law enforcement reform (how can you make good reforms if your understanding of the problem is ridiculously flawed? How can you mobilize support for your reforms when more than half of the country rightly opposes you?). To be clear, this is directed at those who put forth these ridiculous generalizations, and I trust that you're not among them.

This article seems to highlight the worst of hacking and not the best. “Hacker” to me can mean two things: 1, a person who comes up with quick and dirty solutions to problems, and the second is a desire to understand the way things work internally, and exploit them, for better understanding. The idea of “retiring the hacker ideal” is silly. Both have their place, but maybe we need to talk about the pros and cons of both instead of reveling in absolutism.
The pain of dealing with unstructured json/mapping types is exactly what I'm referring to. :)

That said, I don't think the language as a whole lends itself towards elegance - that's pretty much the opposite of their goals. I don't agree that their model for simplicity is the only (or best) model for simplicity is all.
This is at the same time a great solution, and a useless one. Sure, you could verify that a video came from device X by carefully comparing the signature of the video was signed by the public key of the phone, but who on earth is going to do that for a video their aunt posted on Facebook?

Socialism always is.

That generation of social democrats was more of socialists than democrats and that was where it all went wrong, making their own party ideology to state ideology.

Taking over private property in that way is nothing more than theft and a breach of fundamental principals in Swedish society and especially against the consensus agenda (see Saltsjöbadsavtalet).

Social democrats kicked out the communist from the party in 1917 and by that becoming a democratic party and in 1921 heading their first government, but by this communism where basically back in fashion again.
I'm not sure what you are saying. Obviously there is no "entitled" or enforcement. The difficulty in doing that makes it no less a problem. It does contrast with what seemed to be a big Bitcoin positive or selling point (call it what you want) transparency.

I just want to agree with your point about search. Search on Windows is horribly broken, unreliable, and poorly designed. But in my opinion it has been in that state since at least Vista and they've only managed to make it worse every release. Integrating Cortana took something barely functioning and piled on complexity.

If Microsoft were to "delete and start again" on two areas, for me it would have to be Windows' Search and the Printer stack. They're almost impressive in their terribleness. I literally use Notepad++'s file search for file content and FileLocator Pro for filenames instead of Windows search because it is more consistent, reliable, and faster.

I actually had a conversation with a Microsoft employee at a conference who then worked on search in Windows 7. And after that conversation I absolutely understood why it was in the state that it was in. He believed it was bad because it wasn't complex enough, wanting to pile in even more supported file type filters and expanding language services. Both of which they wound up doing in Windows 8, making it even more complicated and unreliable.
It also shows why Discord isn't such a good choice for most people. They're obviously susceptible to knee-jerk moves directed by their public relations department.

Second, it's not actually a Discord server no matter how much they market it that way. Just like it's not a Facebook server. They just try to muddy the waters vs. real voice chat servers you can run yourself like mumble or teamspeak.

People should move away from centralized services where you are the product like Discord and use real voice chat servers. Now there's no ethical issue at all. Cut the gordian knot.

As a note - Residents of US Territories pay territorial personal income taxes instead of federal personal income taxes. In the US Virgin Islands, for example, the tax rates are the exact same, as the USVI tax code mirrors the US Tax Code. The same amount of money leaves your bank account, it just goes to the territory instead of the fed - you even use the exact same Form 1040.

The way some larger companies do this is by salary * target bonus * bonus multiplier. Where the bonus multiplier is a function of growth ranging from 0-2. There's no competition between departments and the increase is meaningful to everyone.

I think this is healthier than a separate plan for each department as then you'll get people questioning the plan and their roles, value, etc.
Twitter is experiencing something of a resurgence these days, with user numbers growing since Trump. Basically, Twitter managed to squeeze growth out of its decision not to censor bigots, stalkers, and outright maniacs. Now they're reaping rewards for that decision.

Your thesis is 100% inconsistent with the history of food safety regulations.

Sure, put the people in corporations personally liable without any government agency inspecting.

You're going to a society ten times more litigious than the US. People with no economic recourse to sue will get the short stick of things.

Your proposition is beyond ridiculous, and that's what merits attacks on the profound naivete of libertarian approaches.

The thing is that we have to believe someone when trying to understand what happened. A person, no matter how honest, can make mistakes. With a recording all that is necessary is to make sure that it is honest.
That's fine, if you publish that video it will be signed by ggg9990 and you will have to decide if you want to be associated with it. Watchers will then have to decide if ggg9990 is a trustworthy source.

It boils down to trust, not whether the original video was real or not.

To put it another way, reputable news organizations already go to great lengths to ensure that their stories are well sourced. At the end of the day, they are putting their reputation on the line.

Social Live Music Startup (pre-launch) | Austin, Texas | Back-End Engineer (Python/Django) | Full-Time | ONSITE strongly preferred, will consider REMOTE for an ideal candidate | Salary + Equity

We are building a social platform that revolves around live music events. We are a team of 6 looking for an additional back end developer to join our team. Our web app is launching in the coming weeks and our mobile app in the next few months. We are seed-funded and will be raising another round of capital this year.

At least 1-2 years of experience with Python is required (preferably experience with Django). Our ideal candidate would also have front-end experience with React and/or React Native. Having experience working in early-stage startups is a plus; having an interest in live music is a huge plus.
We have a strong preference for a local candidate or someone who would be willing to relocate in the near future, but we will consider highly qualified remote applicants who live in North America. We are offering both salary and equity for a full-time hire. We will consider part-time arrangements if you are a student based in Austin.

Please email legette26@gmail.com to apply, and include any relevant links (resume/LinkedIn, Github/Gitlab, etc.). We are hiring for this position ASAP – the earlier you get your application in, the better.

To add a data point, a friend and I made one of these over the weekend (with Trump and Michael Scott https://youtu.be/0Rexuh-VY6E)

It was shockingly easy to do. We're technical, but neither of us know a lick about machine learning. It took a couple hours to collect training data (we turned speeches/interviews from each of them into thousands of photos), and 20 hours to train the model.

In the future you could automate the data collection for a person even more, to the point where they just need to film a selfie of themselves for a couple of minutes in a couple of different lightnings, and boom, after you train their decoder, you could put them on any celebrity.

> So the IRS can tax Americans everywhere in the world except Puerto Rico?

Congress passed some tax laws to incentivize "investment" in Puerto Rico. They haven't been particularly effective.

The reason that they passed these tax laws is because they wanted to try something to boost the Puerto Rican economy that did not involve addressing the underlying issue for why Puerto Rico's economy has stagnated for decades. Repealing the Jones Act would fix most of these problems, but the Jones Act is politically popular with major Democratic supporters, and Republicans (as a party) tend not to care about Puerto Rico, so the initiative to repeal it never went anywhere.

In the end, there's no amount of tax incentivizing that can make up for the costs that the Jones Act imposes on the Puerto Rican economy, which is why the tax laws didn't halt the brain drain. Of course, the failure to provide effective disaster relief in Puerto Rico this past year hasn't exactly helped either.

Over the past year or so, I have noticed these sort of "I quit social media" pieces popping up with increasing frequency in a growing number of websites, including HN.

At first, the pieces were highly personal blog posts by technologists and other early-adopter types who dared question whether social media was good for them, and concluded the answer was no. Now, the pieces are by op-ed writers whose columns appear regularly in major newspapers like the NY Times.

Meanwhile, FaceBook just announced that daily active users dropped by 1 million in the US and Canada -- the first drop ever.[a]

All of this is making me wonder if what we are seeing is the beginning of a wave of dis-adoption of social media.

Yeah this article is disappointing. It's an Uber puff piece. The author makes a bunch of contrived conclusions that defy economic theory. It claims there is a sudden trend saying automation will make jobs better for truckers, but can't seem to find anyone to quote saying that except Uber (the company pushing the automated trucks). Every other quote is from Goldman Sachs and the like saying "nope, will decimate the industry".

Then they argue that because truckers will only drive the last mile in the city it will still be good for them. But they'll still pay them to be there because 'What if the truck breaks down? Without a driver there you'd have to send a repair man. With a driver, he can likely fix it' (loosely quoting). Does anyone really think that a company is gonna pay drivers to sit in a route for the 1 in 100 or 1 in 1000 chance that the truck breaks down on route in a way that the driver can fix? Not a chance. That's the first place they'll cut. Goes against all profit motive of the companies.

Even if somehow you believe that they really will pay drivers to 'Set the speed to 55 then go to sleep'. (Ignoring the obvious question of why you need to pay each driver to set the speed in an automatically driving truck). If your job is now reduced to sleeping in a cabin for 40hrs and then driving 1hr, you think they're not gonna cut your pay by 90% to go along with it?

Uber has an incredibly consistent record of lying and screwing over employees, customers, anyone - they want to do the same to truck drivers and lie to their faces while doing it.
