Microsofts product works fine, but works finest if you are willing to live in their mail client. Outlook-on-steroids is good if you like more icons and frobs and whistles than you can point a stick at. If you like Mail.app or any third party client, bear in mind that IMAP and POP are poor cousins, and the implementation of MAPI by hands other than Redmond is .. well its different. So, you can make third party mail work, and make bits of calendar work, but .. in the end, you will be assimilated.

Google just works. Its fine. They know everything about you anyway so its an entirely rational choice. But, you do get driven to using their web app model. Some people love it. I love it. I know others hate it.

This premise is probably the least self-evident part of your argument, and yet you don't explain why you believe it to be true.
Everyone keeps coming back to this point, but I maintain that just because there’s no way that we know of (or that makes sense in the framework of our understanding) for information to travel between the two, it absolutely does not mean information _did not_ travel between the two. It’s the simpler explanation, if you don’t let hubris get in the way.
The reason oil is priced in dollars has nothing to do with Saudi Arabia or any US involvement there. The US has always (since the 1800s) been a major player in oil markets. The NYMEX futures contract for physical oil is the real reason oil is priced in dollars. OTC physical trades often reference the NYMEX (now CME) price. So much of the infrastructure just operates using dollars but nothing is stopping anyone from not using dollars.

I am not sure what blockchain engineers have to do with selling treasury bonds. The larger issue for China is that they have to do something with their dollars. It's not feasible just to dump them.

Unfortunately (or fortunately depending on your perspective) the USAs ability to continue to borrow does not appear to be ending. It is true that so long as others will lend to you in your own reserve currency you can basically just keep borrowing. I didn't think that the US could borrow $20T but maybe we can borrow $50T or even more. It seems for the time being the sky is the limit.

I feel like the only person on the planet who finds spotify annoying and its library shallow. I really am not trying to sound pretentious.

Full disclosure I say this as someone who doesn't pay for their service, so I don't know how it is if you do, but if you shuffle play an artist- it will automatically play suggested songs. This makes 0 sense to me. I specifically wanted to listen to that artist and if I wanted suggestions why wouldn't it simply have an additional button for suggestion songs in addition to shuffling songs by the artist?
Wouldn’t a pro player be playing less games? They’re playing longer, higher scoring games not lots of average scoring games.
Presumably this could have some significant implications in regards to quantum computing.

I'm not so sure about that. The bitcoin system is not closed. People have been using it to transact real world goods and services, which means that there is value flowing into and out of bitcoin, such that a profit off of a sale in bitcoin does not necessarily imply an identical loss for someone else.
one more slack?
Seems like a pretty profitable scam that will remain viable for a while. Creating a token is basically free and with some slick advertising and community shilling you can create a social phenomenon that will make the scammer rich with very little risk (until the inevitable crackdown).
Companies are able to attract investors and lenders because of the reasonable expectation of future profits. For the US there is no expectation of ever breaking out of our debt. There's a term for private entities whose only means of ever being able to pay off old investors and lenders is from the funds of new investors and lenders.
The reason I wasn't sure this was what he was trying to say is that good motorcyclists tend to keep their eyes steady on the horizon, and yet also, they continuously identify possible escape routes.
Suppose Bitcoin ends up worth a dollar. Since there will be 22 million BTC, it seems true to say that it added at least as much wealth to the world as a failed (acqui-hired) startup. Therefore it wasn't zero sum, correct?

It's not like we're doing anything else with our time, so we may as well have a thought experiment.

I suppose if you wanted to be really economic about it, you might say that the wealth created is equal to the sums of the wealth foregone in everyone else’s opportunity costs. But, really, that is stilly. Nobody does that kind of accounting.

I think what the OP meant was that when the whole fiction comes crashing down (editorializing here) that the people who get rich will be those that get out first. Those who can’t get out will be owed because there simply doesn’t seem to be enough real dollars backing up the exchanges. For real wealth to be gained you want liquidity and you want to have healthy demand for the underlying product. What people want here is not actual bitcoins (or other cryptos). They want appreciation in value. However, while the prices are inflating a lot, it seems that enough people are trying exit positions to USD that the exchanges are having trouble getting enough cash to facilitate transactions.

If that all ends, the fixed sum of dollars in the exchanges will be the zero sum. Those that get out first will get it, and those that don’t will be SOL.

> These two entities are merely soulless peddlers of the Big 5

Rubbish - the vast majority of music on both platforms is not released on any of the big 5 record labels.

Apple Music has so many playlists featuring underground artists and labels. Spotify Discover Weekly never gives me any big 5 music.

The only time people get "peddled' the big 5 tracks is when they want to listen to them.
I think it is a bit complicated to add code so someone's resume showcase. How would you avoid taking credit for what others did?
real world currency expands and contracts, either naturally or via regulation. As more value is created in the world (say by turning sand into iphones), more money is created.

bitcoin etc. can't. It is a major flaw.

Zcash transactions are anonymous only when the user selects this as an option. The ability to send an anonymous Zcash transaction requires running a node.

With Monero, on the other hand, transactions are anonymous by default.
I would alternatively suggest you improve your conveyance of thoughts. It's clear now you have a rationalized and objective view of the situation, but it took us three or four replies to understand your underlying reasoning.

When you start a comment chain by needlessly bashing the users of technology X, and don't really support your opinion of them with anything factual, what are you hoping we read there? It feels like you want us to read between the lines and assume you have a better reason to bash them; That's mindreading, and unfortunately something none of us can do.

I think many Rust advocates, myself included, tend to foresee an eventual obsoletion of C because of theoretical overlapping purpose. We see Rust providing certain development luxuries without the usual heavy performance decrease accompanying them. While we can't say for sure, we think a majority of people will prefer having those luxuries in the future.

The most compelling thought for me is: In a world where Rust had more complete libraries, and most developers knew Rust instead of C, is there an incentive to learn and use C for new projects?

It's a complete matter of opinion but I think it's the reason most rustaceans "hound" on C devs. I don't think there would be such an incentive. I find them equally complex in their own ways, but also find more benefits with Rust versus C.
I guess I should rephrase what I tried to say. If I have 2 minutes to kill, what is better than browsing Facebook or Hacker News.
Question: So does this mean, Tensorflow Lite will have worse performance on iOS than a natively implemented CoreML model of the same design would?
Honestly, this seems like a fair criticism. It would be worth rebutting, rather than downvoting.

My only rebuttal is that bitcoin and ethereum have appreciably better market positions than the rest of the coins out there. Bitcoin has acceptance of major exchanges, futures markets, etc.

The average ICO, though...
Yep it's a human - there's a good number of people who can reach that speed but it takes years of practice. I believe a lot of the community started young on various platforms so some people have been playing 10+ years
I rarely read the full thread on HN but read this one to see if anyone had mentioned Echo or Alexa-enabled devices. Surprising that no one did, esp given how many they have sold.

We are an Apple household primarily but also have a Google Home and recently bought an Alexa-enabled car charger (Anker/Roav Viva). The only service that will work across the board is Spotify. In that regard Spotify is like Netflix -- available on every device.
IIRC you can’t sign up for Spotify inside the app, so they wouldn’t pay the App Store tax.
Zcash had a big bug that caused 400k tokens to be printed by an attacker due to a typo of = instead of ==; so I’m not sure how serious it is if a contender.

I live in a fully Mac/iOS household, and I had no idea until I saw this article that Apple Music was a thing that competes with Spotify. That's probably due to iTunes and iCloud being such a confusing mess that I just don't use Apple services and I haven't launched those apps in years.
No, it was equally interesting. HN is much too strict about tangential comments.

If you don't have an established build process, I would consider a one-time minification of an established codebase to be a pretty poor decision.

Either setup a trivial build script, or don't do it at all.

EDIT: Clearly HN disagrees with me. Tell me, what does being a cowboy get you here?

If it's a measurable performance boost, then as soon as you patch it again your site will seem slower. Unless you then manually minifiy again. And again. Until you setup a build script.

If it's not a measurable performance boost, (And I doubt that you know either way because if you're not setting up a trivial build script then I highly doubt you're putting in the time to profile) then what do you get? The next person to come along gets to have a harder time debugging because you don't have source maps?
One consequence of defeating aging I haven't heard discussed is the tendency of society to become very conservative.

Your most conservative groups are families with dependent children. Old people vote more consistently not because they are conservative, but because they have the time. They aren't working full time while raising kids, etc.

I see no reason to assume old people would be inherently conservative. Older people who are not risk averse may not look real wild because they know how to hedge their bets and how to explore what they want without calling so much attention to it. That isn't conservative. It's competent.

It's more than that. It can be shown that information could not travel between 2 points provably, so it's not like we're missing some communication method. We can show there is no intermediate communication method.

See the MIT introduction lecture on Quantum Physics:

I believe the experiment where this is shown is lecture 1, possibly 2. It's been awhile since I watched this but a great source of information.

I'm not talking about throwing things away. You like engineering, you're good at it, the advantages of such career are good - those combine to create concrete benefits. Ambition isn't bad.

But ambition for the sake of "being good at something"? Especially when good is compared to other people? as if there's something wrong with being average? That's different.

I don't ever want to come to terms with failure. I just want to turn away from it and be so busy that I don't have time to sort it out. Acceptance of failure feels like a form of surrender.
If you really know your stuff, enough to build good apps and a successful business, then it's possible that a smart enough co-worker (manager or not) will notice a gap between that potential, and your output. So "can I get away" seems to me equivalent to, "will they notice, and if so, does it matter to them?"

The answers to those questions will vary over time as your employer's business itself changes. Your worst case scenario is "Yes/Yes," ofc, and best-case is "No/Irrelevant." Reality is probably somewhere in the middle. I have seen cases where someone like you got "noticed," because a peer who didn't care about a side business out-competed them at work performance. No one was malicious in this equation; once "Mary" got going with her natural enthusiasm, it just became obvious that "Joe" was being paid too much. "Joe" got a bit of talking-to; he decided to quit.

If your W-2 income is critical to you, for whatever reason, you want to keep an eye on this whole situation. If the energy spent in keeping an eye on that drains you from pursuing your business goals, then it's not worth it to you to get away with it, even if you do.

If you are weighing moral qualms, don't fall into the trap of over simplifying it in either direction. No, you probably don't work for a "soulless" corporation that doesn't care about your creativity and thinks you are dispensable yada yada; but no, you didnt sign some sort of pledge of absolute allegiance either when you joined (but yeah, you did sign something that would give your employer property rights to your business, under certain circs, and it's again not a given whether they'll exercise this right if they can.)

Short version: it depends :)

I suspect that you're going to get slaughtered by downvotes but I largely agree with you. It doesn't really matter that there's non-sketchy coins out there, this unregulated wave of fake altcoins is going to spoil the whole barrel in Joe Public's eyes. To them, crypto == bitcoin == every other coin. If the prevailing comments move from 'cryptocurrency is going up up UP' to 'there's heaps of dodgy scams out there, the barrier to entry is really high', it'll chill the whole lot.

The point at which something goes mainstream is the point at which it's often most fragile because first impressions at a large scale last. Early adopters and enthusiasts will invest enough time to sift through the cruft to find the relevant truth, but some random mass-adopter will rapidly form an opinion based on headlines. If the prevailing thought of cryptos is that they're unsafe right as they begin to hit routine mainstream news, it'll be a heavy burden to unsaddle.
On HN, it's the convention to add the year when a story is more than a year and a bit old.
The biggest underpinning of all the 'coins are its trustability of its mathematics. None of the coins yet, to my knowledge, have any formal proof of the system. Because of that, we still see bugs after bugs with all 'coins.

With Ethereum, the DAO is a perfect example of that, and their shoddy "fake it till we make it" style that we see so much in tech these days. That splintered the community into ETH and ETC. And yet, later on there was another overflow error that ended up 'destroying' ETH on another attack.

Sure, as mythical play money, it's an awesome idea to toy around with. But we're not talking toying around here. We're talking people mortgaging houses and properties. We're talking of people liquidating their 401K's and putting it into $coin that was recommended. In essence, the destitution and fraud from the Great Depression was the primary reason why the SEC was created initially. And we're seeing this all over again, but worldwide on the 'net. And there's no legislative body that can legally remedy this everywhere. It's going to get very ugly.
There isn't any proof – of course – because any non-sentient macroscopic system couldn't testify this to us. Otherwise we would call it sentient.

However, I have the premise here that sentient systems are fundamentally similar to non-sentient systems. That is, there isn't any "special sauce" – such as soul or midi-chlorians – that causes sentient systems behave differently on micro-physical level. Instead, sentience is an emergent property, that shouldn't have effect in "low-level" details of how the universe works. This comes basically back to Occam's razor, like the other comment said.
That's a feature I've definitely wanted!

South Australia has one of the highest prices in australia
http://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-11-17/curious-adelaide-the-p...

The opposition federally has been attacking renewable energy in south australia over the failures caused by storms and gas generators.
http://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-03-16/josh-frydenberg-jay-we...

so the state put a tender to all battery makers to help the state start with startup times to get the gas generators online and help with the extreme prices in high demand times
http://theconversation.com/a-month-in-teslas-sa-battery-is-s...

the battery project has been very successful, and now fuelled with revenge and fear of losing state power the state leader is pushing even harder for battery and solar tech in residential areas to stop the cost growth, this will also help alot of renters, and he is directing this as mistrust from the incompetent federal leadership which is primarily funded by the coal industry.
https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2018/feb/01/coal-...

South Australia mostly dislikes federal politicians considering they constantly ignore the state and then with AEMO and energy markets just basically cut power to the state and charge them through the nose because they aren't the useful state.
