Speaking of commas, you're missing one after the end of the interrupting phrase in your last sentence (should say ", as well as the state of Maine,"). It's a pet peeve bigger than the lack of Oxford commas, and definitely affects readability and may affect meaning.
How do you foresee cryptocurrency alleviating those problems when existing capital can simply produce and acquire the majority of coins/tokens in existence?

For all we know the executives at the Goldman Sachs spent a few million dollars slowly purchasing BTC any any of the other altcoins since day 1.

Money only has value if someone is willing to accept it. Existing capital merely transfers into whatever other forex, seashell, or feather trading system there might be.

For long-run wealth distribution, what matters most is
avenues to extract economic rent on a recurring basis

That's oddly simplistic. No mention of wages, education, and tax policy?

regulatory capture, political privileges, etc, and new
forms of money like cryptocurrency could alleviate these.

How would new forms of money impact any of those?

There's certainly the possibility it could make all of those issues 1000x's worse.
The visible changes meaning "all extensions stop working for no apparent reason"? Great way to kill the project altogether.
Heh. To be fair the conversation in question was a lot more personal than that -- matters of crime, addiction, forgiveness, and personal change.

The "nothing to hide" arguments are irrelevant here -- people absolutely do have things to hide. This is where people seek advice about lawbreaking before they are ready or able to discuss with authorities. We can't have even the pretense that something could be listening in on these convos.

It's appropriate to blame the church for having the listening device.... but as technologists we know that off-the-shelf products don't give them much choice without technical proficiency/awareness to reconfigure the defaults.

Edit: and I think I interpreted your joke as you intended; no offense taken.
Also, take a step back and ask if you really need distributed storage of the OS-mounted filesystem variety. Userspace file storage can be fundamentally less fragile and easier to understand. You really want it to be easy to understand and troubleshoot if you aim for high availability.

Calling a system meritocratic is like describing one as democratic it’s a statement of values rather than outcomes. The 11 plus is an example of implementation of meritocracy as parliamentary democracy is of democracy. Neither value is sufficient to prevent negative outcomes in implementation. So we see entrenched ‘worth’ divides and entrenched political parties. As per the article Michael Young actually coined the term meritocracy in order to criticise it and the negative outcomes it had produced. A lot of online debate seems overly focused on the idea that valuing merit can only bring positive outcomes.

Can't pass an opportunity to link Arnold's excellent On teaching mathematics (https://www.uni-muenster.de/Physik.TP/~munsteg/arnold.html) for those who have not read it. As he states:

> What is a group? Algebraists teach that this is supposedly a set with two operations that satisfy a load of easily-forgettable axioms. This definition provokes a natural protest: why would any sensible person need such pairs of operations? "Oh, curse this maths" - concludes the student (who, possibly, becomes the Minister for Science in the future).

> We get a totally different situation if we start off not with the group but with the concept of a transformation (a one-to-one mapping of a set onto itself) as it was historically. A collection of transformations of a set is called a group if along with any two transformations it contains the result of their consecutive application and an inverse transformation along with every transformation.

> This is all the definition there is. The so-called "axioms" are in fact just (obvious) properties of groups of transformations. What axiomatisators call "abstract groups" are just groups of transformations of various sets considered up to isomorphisms (which are one-to-one mappings preserving the operations). As Cayley proved, there are no "more abstract" groups in the world. So why do the algebraists keep on tormenting students with the abstract definition?
> I'm currently writing a post detailing how all of this works, for anyone interested.

Yes please. I need to support localisation on a site I maintain, and for that will need one (or more) plugins that github don't support so would be interested in your setup.
Unless they host their file system on public facing IPs, it would be simpler to use private ipv4 addresses versus ipv6. With IPv6, you are running your code against less hardened paths and depdenending the type of IP address assigned to your server, behavior can change like this.

so, if I understood this correctly, this would allow satellites to reduce weight by not carrying fuel required for orbit raising / changing maneuvers.., that would otherwise increase the weight & complexity of the satellite payload?

Sort of like, instead of releasing the satellite in GTO, from where the satellite expends fuel / reaction mass to reach GSO, in this case, the rocket uses a tiny secondary engine to move the satellite to the GSO?

I wrote my own as I wanted sass + syntax highlighting + a good template engine without having to install Node or similar (https://www.getgutenberg.io/). Not a lot of themes yet so it's better for peopl

In short, I just write my content in markdown, style in Sass and HTML in Tera (https://github.com/Keats/tera/) which is very similar to Jinja2.

I then automatically build & deploy from https://www.netlify.com/ on commits. Netlify will also get built-in support the next time they deploy their build image (ie all you need for your site to be deployed will be a file like https://github.com/Keats/gutenberg/blob/a2b55a927981727ce00a...) like Hugo does.

My own site is a bit difference as I have a DO instance for it but the script is simply copying the public folder to the server and have Caddy serve it.
> Well, yes, for most people it unfortunately is. But imagine if your are one of the lucky ones who do have global IPv4 addresses everywhere. And now someone sells you a product that tells you "sorry, nice IPv4 network that you have there, but you have to install NAT and an RFC1918 network to use this IPv4 product". Not very sensible, is it? Same applies for IPv6 and ULA, obviously.

Are you arguing from the assumption that my suggestions and any other form of establishing trust are mutually exclusive? If you're that lucky guy with a global address for your lightbulb, by all means use what's at your disposal to establish a trusted encrypted link between the device and the user in a convenient way. Not sure how that would prevent the vast majority using these on private networks with a different method of authentication and different criteria for trust.

> Erm ... that's completely backwards? It unfortunately does not reflect the current use of IPv4 in particular due to NAT everywhere, but that certainly was not part of "the design of existing internet protocols", that was a hack due to lack of addresses.

So, given the limited address range, it was clearly not designed for every person in the world to have an address, not to mention every appliance in your kitchen. The internet has grown rather organically and has adopted a broader use case. The infrastructure, protocols and best practices used on the internet now reflect this unanticipated use case.

> Well, yes, unfortunately, that is the case nowadays. That is not how IP was meant to be used, and it's causing massive problems. If it weren't for lack of addresses, your home network should have a globally unique /24 or something (and it did, back in the day).

How it was meant to be used is an artefact that stopped mattering some time in the 80s.

> Not sure I am getting your point!?

The point is that flagging plain http websites as "unsafe" makes a lot of assumptions about my network. They're not necessarily unsafe. In one case, it's on my apartment-wide LAN. In another case, it's connected by ethernet directly to the client. Neither of these are particularly exotic topologies.

> But in any case, my point was that at most that should be a pairing mechanism. So, once the trust relationship is established, there should be no need to stay on the local network for further secure communication.

Why not both?

> Well, yes?! But the solution is not to hard-code policies that prevent full use of IP.

Agreed? I'm not sure where you got the idea that I think that any of these things should prevent the full use of IP. Certainly not from anything I've said.

The same applies to IRC.

An IRC network owned by PrivateInternetAccess, Snoonet, also applies censoring filters to your private messages, and redirecte them to volunteer moderators in case you should use words that they consider worthy of censoring ("to prevent spam", of course)

I think that says everything one needs to know when even companies that claim to focus on privacy do this.

I'm brainwashed already so it's hard for me to see it from the perspective of a new user.

Here are some main points from the website:

NixOS has a completely declarative approach to configuration management: you write a specification of the desired configuration of your system in NixOS’s modular language, and NixOS takes care of making it happen.

NixOS has atomic upgrades and rollbacks. It’s always safe to try an upgrade or configuration change: if things go wrong, you can always roll back to the previous configuration.

That makes sense, doesn't it? Is it that you want a more detailed explanation of how it achieves this, and how it differs from other distributions?

A Reasonable Expectation of Privacy (2014)
It is not practical to compare research or open source development to working at Google.

You can definitely prioritize excellence in development, but only within the scale of a few humans. You cannot research what it is like to work at scale.

Scale of hosts, requests, code, people, money. It's an experience to itself.

It's always funny to "break" open source tools people rave about. Most recently elasticsearch is barely coping with some of my teams volumes and we have to do some really tricky distributed computing stuff to workaround and keep it happy. Mind you, like a Honda Civic, it is an amazing tool, and works brilliantly for most almost all uses, but at certain scale you need a Ferrari and that isn't something you can get anywhere but big companies. And when you learn by designing and debugging a Ferrari, everything else becomes trivial very quickly.
The premajurity births are due to the fitness and beauty-standards craze. A baby is a huge additional consumer on the metabolism - and if such a metabolism is allready constantly strained, by endless jogging and a under supply of nourishment the results are early out babys.

Is it possible to use scss and slim with Hugo? Does it support partials, an equivalent of liquid, investing data files?

These are the things that keep me with Jekyll and middleman.
Again, I think we are in general agreement.

The author of the original essay doesn't cover any of these issues, which is my complaint.

BTW, there are experiments which could at one time be repeated but can no longer, either because the required conditions no longer exist (East Germany, passenger pigeons) or because the experiments are no longer ethical or warranted (long term progress of untreated syphilis, the most effective way to firebomb a city).

The Trinity test, even without being repeated, did a good job of proving the theory that setting off an atomic bomb does not ignite the atmosphere.
>"incredible amount of compute power to generate a collision"

That article sets the "best case", not the worse, and that article is "old". The GPU/ASIC industry is bananas, and we have no idea what other breaks there are. MD5 is a great example of how quickly these things become dangerous.

SHA1 was a terrible choice when git was made, it's a horrific one now. SHA1 cannot be used for anything security sensitive. That domain is always larger than what we may first suspect.

>the alternative is... do nothing?

No, the alternative is to use gpg with a secure hash over and above anything git provides. This is a bad choice because there is no standardized git infrastructure built around anything secure.

This fragments the industry (like Go building their own, again) where git could instead continue to unify, making an interface that has a lot of eyeballs, visibility, and a secure, universal implementation. Instead, fragmentation remains the solution. Git could have easily taken care of this by simply listening to people back in ~2005 saying, "gee, maybe we shouldn't use a hash that's already on its deathbed". https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2005/02/cryptanalysis...

It would be nice just have used SHA-256. I hope Snowden didn't show us nothing.
For those of you interested, there was an app called Chirp by Animal Systems that allowed you to transfer messages and shortcodes of hosted media content over audible frequencies. Despite being rather ear-piercing each time a Chirp was sent, it was still a very interesting principal. I remember reverse engineering the protocol and error correction mechanisms (it was a varient of the Reed-Solomon algorithm iirc) with a friend for a little household "internet of things" that communicated over sound. I still have a few temperature monitoring devices around the house that sing a little tune based on the RE'd code every few hours to report back to my RasPi on home temperature data.

Judging by the fact that this was in my GitHub stars list from about a year ago, it looks like I was considering transitioning to something more open. With the right encryption and error correction mechanisms I think this type of technology could be really useful for short-range home iot communication.

I don't see how a permutation group lends itself well to a geometric or visual interpretation in general. From my understanding, a permutation is just a one-to-one and onto function from a set to itself. For a set of N elements there are N! possible permutations, any subset of which could be used to generate a permutation group. How do you propose to interpret all of these groups geometrically, as opposed to abstractly?

Good luck. The rest of the comments make me believe that anything can happen. I've been always upgrading with my Macbooks. With iOS it's a whole different story though.

Context: the new firmware upgrade for Sonos speakers will drop support for the CR100 controller.

http://www.techradar.com/news/sonos-finally-kills-off-cr100-...

--

I have to wonder why. Planned obsolescence is an obvious answer, but if the new "standard" methods for controlling the speakers are smartphones or Alexa, it doesn't seem like they gain much from the switch. Is the protocol used by the CR100 that much of a pain to keep supporting? It makes me wonder about their software development practices.

But why you would want to use React, Angular etc. while you can just do it in C++ and QtQuick and have many times better performance so better user experience and for example Servo browser engine rendering benchmark animation took me 1/2 loc to reproduce in QtQuick...
It feels to me that "symbolic assembly" is simply creating an AST for the low-level target, instead of just stopping the use of ASTs in the intermediate forms. The larger projects out there might not necessarily go in that direction, but this is very common in smaller utilities that focus on handling byte/vm/machine code.

I could be missing something, but that seems like the TL;DR to me. Once you have easy AST nodes representing the lowest output level, it's simple to manipulate, especially in a Lisp-derived language (which is always a plus in metaprogramming).
It's possible, but it depends on the city. Yesterday's luxury apartments become today's affordable apartments if yesterday's luxury apartment tenants move into today's new luxury apartments, leaving their old luxury apartments vacant with upper-class buyers to replace them.

But in some cities, like New York and San Francisco, many of the new luxury apartments are being bought up by foreign investors who keep the apartment empty, or being bought up by rich outsiders who are moving into the city for the first time. So the increase in housing supply at the upper end of the market is only inducing additional demand and keeping prices high, instead of working against existing demand and either lowering prices or improving value (i.e. sticky prices which stay high, but buyers can now get a nicer apartment for the same cost).

Such "filtering" is definitely possible, but you'd have to find out a way to restrict immigration and market speculation to make it a reality.
It's a good thought, but I agree with madengr. Other disciplines are faced with abstract challenges, and even those in plain sight are very difficult to reason about. Magnetic fields. Rotational moment of inertia. RMoI--still so confusing. Even simple to explain, easy to observe concepts can still be abstract and difficult to understand.
It doesn't look like Hugo supports scss, so you need to use gulp for that: http://danbahrami.io/articles/building-a-production-website-...

You can run "gulp watch" to compile the files into /static, and Hugo's live reloading will pick up the changes.

I can't find anything about slim templates. "Hugo uses Go’s html/template and text/template libraries as the basis for the templating.": https://gohugo.io/templates/introduction/

It does support partials, and the go templates are similar to liquid.

I honestly don't do much to customize Hugo, I just pick a theme, tweak the CSS, and write some blog posts. If you have a Jekyll blog with a lot of custom Ruby, then it might be difficult to switch.
I've almost never touched web development, but as an active HN reader I have at least passing familiarity with almost all the terms used in the article.

So, honest question: can a person fully understand how modern HTML/CSS work without diving in the source code of one of the browser engines? Because as a developer, if I was forced to use such a complicated technology, grooming source would be my best guess at making any sense out of it.
