Man and Superman: The Future of Work
I'm not sure. Maybe you could change the condition to 'n successive stake signatures' but you would also have to model the stake-selection procedure in it... A property over a hash is fairly simple, but rerunning the whole PoS, essentially, is probably going to blow the witness encryption out into astronomical sizes unless someone can think of clever tricks?
Great article. I chuckled quite a bit. This reminds me of my attempts to check out Cardano. There was no working Linux client.
(I checked again today: Still no Linux client. The latest release of the software appears to be from September 2017).

I then tried to build from source. I'm doing some Node development so I have Node v8.x installed (the current LTS version).
Turns out the wallet requires Node v6.

At that point I gave up. I also read that Cardano has some great concepts but right now it's still in its first, centralized phase.
Looking at the answers, I've learned lots of new distros. Never thought there'd be still that many!

I personally use Arch on desktop/dev and Ubuntu LTS on servers.
When I was a jumper for UPS in my college years, it was known that UPS had the best pay "in the trucking industry." UPS drivers could clear six figures after about 10 years. I think they averaged about 80k.

Now it's true that they worked them to the bone, but they were paid well. Being a UPS driver also comes with a lot of perks. My driver had several lady friends on his route. Most of the business he picked up from loved him and we got lots of Christmas presents.

Not sure if their compensation has kept up with inflation but it wasn't a bad job at all.

Since you've lived in Manhattan, have you since been following the serious infrastructure issues that have been affecting the subway system here?

Have you had a chance to see the effects on massive, quick development on specifically the mass transit system in Brooklyn (downtown Brooklyn, in particular)?

Look, I'm not saying there shouldn't be density. I'm just trying to point a finger at other elements that should be thought about other than tall buildings. I don't have kids, so I won't even get started on the downstream effects density has on school crowdedness, choices and desirability of areas.

The left hand doesn't talk to the right hand in the vast bureaucracy that is NYC. If development and rezoning were done with consideration for long-term downstream factors, I wouldn't have needed to write these comments.
Did you ever think when stuff like this come out there is some guy at the NSA going "Damn it, there goes another one" as they have know about this and been using if for years :)
I have been jumping between Videostream, Plex and VLC nightly in the last few months. They seem to play all kind of video files but subtitles remain to be a hard problem. VLC simply doesn't support it (or I didn't figure out how to enable subtitles). Videostream is buggy. Plex works with a specific version only (had to downgrade to get back subtitles)... The search continues I guess.
Does this focus exist for the majority of US developers or is it about churning out code as fast as possible?

You can also hire the better part of offshore developers if you'll pay just a bit closer to US rates. I saw the situation "$15/h developer failed everything, help us $35/h developer!" quite a lot in Russian-speaking freelance communities.

Uber, Waymo reach surprise $245M settlement in trade secrets case
> bluetooth is CHEAP

I think you're overstating this. With a normal headphone jack, if I find myself heading out for a hike or vacation or whatever and discover that I left my earbuds at home, I can pick up a tolerable pair at any drugstore for $10. For the time being at least, I'd have to go to a specialty electronics shop (probably in that city an hour back) and pay $30 to get a comparable bluetooth set.
The WiFi on planes is satellite and something like 256 Kbps with extreme latency. It works fine for light web browsing and email, but it's unusable for video streaming. Your options are to pre-load entertainment or watch what the plane has pre-loaded in the seat-back entertainment screens.
Amzn shipping has changed for the much worse in the last two years, guessing to prioritize prime customers?

We used to get our items shipped promptly and they would arrive slowly but surely in about a week. You would see progress at e.g. ups/usps.

Now they sit on your order for a week then send it and it arrives in two weeks. If you call and complain they will two-day ship it. Much less progress is visible as well, leaving you to wonder the whole time and bother support.

How can that make any financial sense? How can sitting on it for a week make sense? They still have to deliver all the packages, now they’re a week behind.

Have done business with them for ~20 years and considering another merchant where treated with respect.

Or, perhaps being the first to develop a new technique is actually a sufficient competitive advantage to fund the research. This is surely true in many cases where a first mover advantage is large. If you look closely, I think you'll find the research costs in many areas that are prone to making this argument (drugs) are not nearly as large a component of the company's costs as you think.
The King has met its match
The language of the announcement was almost certainly dictated in the terms of the settlement as well.
Specifically, the reference is to so-called GNU messages in the clacks system, where GNU is a prefix code meaning “send the message on, do not log, and turn the message around at the end of the line and send it back again”. These messages were used as memorials for deceased clacks workers - the message would never be delivered, and would stay in the system for as long as the clacks stay running. Hence, the worker’s name will be spoken for - hopefully -eternity.

The title on HN has since been changed. It was previously the article title: "The Black Panther's Secret Superpower". Which doesn't give any hint as to why that superpower is actually interesting. "Oh, I didn't know that he had x-ray vision" would have been really boring, and I almost didn't click through to read the article because of that.
It's probably a Linux issue. I have a pair and they work flawlessly with my Macs and iPhone, but are very unreliable with my Fedora laptop.
Any in particular you think might pull that off?

There's a few I follow (VeChain, Monero, Nano, GET) but like you I find it quite hard to imagine more than a handful that could realistically achieve the aim(s) they've set out to do.
Have you filed bugs about this, with the example emails attached?

Thunderbird uses the same exact HTML/CSS renderer as Firefox. To the extent that it's not rendering mails "properly", those mails are clearly expecting to be rendered in a way different from what the HTML/CSS standards say...

It's possible to make this work, if needed, but the developers would need to at least know what standard-deviating behaviors are needed.
Basically, Uber is paying google 250m instead of paying AL 250m in earnouts he was supposed to get. All in all good for Uber.

The bigger problem for me is all the passive invasiveness these companies represent.

Even if I don't have a Facebook account, I am tagged in so many pictures that Facebook can identify me. I find that problematic.

Could they, though? Uber's valuation is based on its taxi technology business. The self-driving stuff might be their long play, but certainly not the source of their value.

I have no idea what kinds of damages Waymo might have been able to extract from Uber, but it seems very unlikely that it would have been in the multi-billion-dollar range. $245 million is a huge sum, add to that the saved cost of ongoing litigation.

> I suspect it's because of its GPS-driven gig-economy implementation

Agreed, and specifically it's the yield they expect from their drivers. AMZL expects nearly double the deliveries from its drivers than UPS does. UPS has been doing this for decades across the globe, I would bet they've squeezed just about every last bit of efficiency out of their routes and process... so AMZL's expectations are outrageous, which leads to packages thrown from cars, packages found in ditches, etc. The drivers can't possibly complete their deliveries. The drivers are unhappy, the customers are unhappy and soon Amazon will be unhappy if they don't figure this out.
yes because their citizens are dumping money into them, and they're unsure where that money is going.
> millions of people who immediately go on benefits

This is difficult in most countries and extremely so in the US. Which benefits? How do they prove entitlement to them? By what process are they entitled to them but the military vets living on the street aren't?

I'm not saying it doesn't happen, but I suspect it happens a lot less often than you think.

(also, you've done the old "Schroedinger's immigrant" thing: at the top of the thread we were talking about jobs, you're talking about benefits now. Who are these people who simultaneously go on benefits while also stealing your job?)
Yes, all platforms!
One reason is to convey precision.
Kragen Sitaker's post that was featured on HN recently mentioned the idea of simply slowing down communications to increase distance without increasing power.

not US but india. Amazon delivery allows me to either leave the package with a neighbour or to deliver to a shop(they have some tie up with local shops) from where I can pick up.

This was quite helpful couple of times when the package arrived ahead of time and i was not available to sign the package. and this can be set even after the package is shipped.
> and they likely want to improve it, using customer feedback to do so

I know, but the other carriers are already good, and I'm not super interested in being the guinea pig to train Amazon's. They're just brain-dead in so many different ways:

1) I'm not a dispatcher, I don't want to give directions to a driver or talk him to my address. That's Amazon's job.

2) I'm not Amazon's cartographer either, and it was super annoying to have to talk a phone rep through dropping a map pin on my place.

3) Every other carrier seems to be able to read the sign with delivery instructions at my door, why not Amazon? They ignore it so often I got tired of calling and complaining about that.

4) They should leave door-notes when there's a problem like every other carrier.

A lot of the stuff they need to improve on is simple stuff they could have easily learned by looking at the customer experience of their competitors, so I'm not really willing to cut them much slack. Especially since they force their carrier on me rather than giving me options.
Certainly no expert in the field here, but maybe a store/market built around vimeo's "on demand" stuff? A partnership with vimeo whereby VLC would get a % of sales when purchased via VLC might help both parties (more exposure to vimeo via VLC, revenue for VLC, etc).
They can if you pay them enough. Or if this contingency plan was written 3 months ago just in case the economy finally faltered.
In our case Scrum was the favored methodology. I'm not arguing against Agile or even Scrum, by the way. I've been following and dreaming about working in a team like they described on the Extreme Programming pages on c2.com years before Agile was a twinkle in our managers' eyes.

However, in our case implementing something closer to the pure ideal of the Agile Manifesto proved too challenging:

- In internal SW projects it's difficult to find a customer that's willing to put in the time required to drive the development.

- Everyone has multiple jobs, some include ME and EE that are hard to agilify

- Managers don't really want to turn over scheduling authority to the team

- Exploratory and learning takes a backseat to knocking items off the backlog

> You're making the mistake of equating the law with morality. Greatly simplified, the a law is just an attempt to roughly codify some moral principles and give them some teeth.

I didn't mean to equate them and I don't think I did. I was implicitly making the same connection that you just made explicitly.

> We still expect people to act morally, even in the absence of laws force them to do so.

Who really expects investors to act morally rather than doing whatever's legal? Heck, who expects Facebook to prioritize morals over profits? Don't people who have these expectations deeply misunderstand how today's economic system works?
It does have the feel of a TV show at this point. Given @sarahjeong's coverage on Twitter and in the Verge I would not be surprised if Waymo's legal team felt they were going to at least not win, and might lose.

And to my thinking Waymo had lots more to lose than Uber did. (and I think that is reflected in the settlement being not quite 13% of what they were asking, and in stock which may be completely worthless). Waymo loses and it might embolden other Google employees to go to competitors, it might embolden those competitors to try to recruit their top engineers to bring their ideas into the competitor. It might completely blunt Googles ability to get any engineer to believe what the company thinks of as trade secrets would actually be considered trade secrets in a court and so they aren't as threatening as before. And on cross examination Uber might have pulled some things into open court and the public record that Waymo would rather not have out there.

Uber on the other hand already has a reputation as being a rule breaker, and skating over the line. So what do they have to lose? I Waymo can take $1.9 billion in cash out of Uber (maybe more if they can get lawyers fees etc) they can take them off the board completely.

According to the coverage they were being berated by the judge and their case had gone from being about patents to about trade secrets to about 8 trade secrets. That is not a legal case gaining steam, that is one that is trying to stay alive.
The unit indicates the precision at which the scale is represented. So for this, the distribution is probably not very useful at a resolution of 0m, 1m, and 2m and is normalized between the 0 and 1XXcm range.
