> I talked to a vegan while ago about whether he would eat figs. Wasps dig into certain types of figs to lay their eggs

I believe all figs work that way, with co-evolved fig wasps pollinating it. The pollinating female is actually the smallest part of the animal protein digested by the fig: only the female wasps and a subset of the parasites (which managed to infect female wasps before their exit) make it out, male wasps and the rest of the parasites die inside and get digested as well.
I could see how it could be beneficial for some types of tasks in that:

- you avoid clutter, tasks like "fix the squeaking door" which would otherwise stay at the bottom of your list forever are purged

- it forces you to prioritize tasks

- at the start of each day it forces you to consciously plan what you really need done, which is something one may want to be doing anyways to be more deliberate about what you spend your time on

That said, I would probably only use this for non-critical personal stuff rather than in place of trello or tracker.

I agree with the grammar as written. But when describing objects in a programming language isn't it better to add the type into the variable name? I've always found o_object, s_string, d_double to be quite common when working with ObjC examples. So often, that I assume it's best practice.

When dealing with a wall of text it's not always obvious that a schema is a schema.
I think the slightly different meaning is that it is the set of conspirators not including the conspirator you have named previously. So if I conspire with Alice and Bob in a peer based nonhierarchical fashion to make our names famous in cryptography, Alice and Bob are my co-conspirators, though we are all conspirators.

So in this headline, we are talking about people other than Ellsberg.
It's pure speculation. "Bubble" means "something that is overvalued according to fundamental analysis"; once the market or asset stabilises one can argue that the bubble burst and it hit its natural valuation.

The problem with crypto in general is that it's such a different type of market that the models for figuring out its valuation are wildly speculative at best.

In other words: all I can offer about it not being a bubble anymore is a soft maybe :)
> But there are many things that do need to be a federal concern

I completely agree! Most of them are already explicitly listed as federal concerns, in the Constitution; we should amend it to include environmental concerns for the exact reason you note.

But I see no reason why e.g. education should be a federal concern. Let the states do as they will.

I can answer a little. It's a problem of the conjunction of providing enough resolution that the screen is useful while having a large enough viewing angle. If I want to replicate the screen for my Surface Book, 3kx2k, at normal working distance that screen takes up about 1/5th of my working vision (that being the area my glasses cover which is a majority of my whole field of view and as much as I could expect of a non-contacts AR solution). So to render that screen and be able to place it inside the normal working field of view any AR glasses would need to have a resolution of about 5-6x whatever screen you want to duplicate, and this number gets worse as we talk about replicating TV screens which are further away and thus need even higher resolution to look the same.

It's a problem of being able to pack that many pixels onto the tiny screen area of a glasses based AR solution and then being able to process and render that in a mobile form factor. It's a hard problem to solve to say the least.

That's great. Where did you find this info on the payload?
Where to start‽ (These are my recollections, perhaps wrong of course):

- The wafer thin margin of actual payload that the booster put up now being shared with landing fuel

- Engine restart after launch

- Re-entry forces on the engines

- The fact (perhaps since addressed) that a single Merlin puts out more thrust at near minimum throttle than the dry mass of the booster itself.

Think about that last one. If you start the burn too early you'll miss the ground .. for a while. The lesson here is trust calculus!

> Unfortunately, I don't think there's a way to get that particular UI feature without sending all URLs to some external server.

Look up the protocol that Google's SafeBrowsing[0] project uses. The short version is that your extension should check visited URLs against a locally-downloaded database of HN-posted URLs. For SafeBrowsing there's a bit more optimisation (e.g. hashing URLs & storing only hash prefixes to reduce the size of the database), but that's the short version.

This secures the end user's privacy.

Veganism to is "making a serious effort to not harm animals by not consuming product for which animals were harmed to produce them".

There are always edge-cases. I've not met vegans actively addressing that, for instance (1) any vehicle seems to kill some bug at some point and (2) most plant farming needs some kind of animal-pest control.

Edge-cases aside, it is a fact that a vegan lifestyle vastly reduces animal suffering and death, and is is in most cases less taxing on our environment.

> Do vegans know how we produce organic fertilizers?

Yes there are plenty discussions on that topic and related topic in the vegan movement.
Neither, but the latter is closer. I’m saying that ending animal suffering takes many steps, and that not even trying because perfection doesn’t seem possible to you is akin to not even trying to go to the gym because you personally (I am making an assumption here) have not climbed Everest.
Have the primary key be a number or hash and publish the whole database, so you can count the number of votes yourself, or verify your vote, but cannot reverse any single vote back to a person without knowing their voter number. Whether we structure this as a Merkle tree or a flat CSV is irrelevant.

Of course, in neither data format do you have any way of actually authenticating the other votes, by design. Maybe the vote in the block before yours was a dead person, or never existed at all, how would you know? (this is what the crypto world calls a "sybil attack") Whoops, looks like we're back to trusting a centralized authority (the government, who issues the voter tokens). So why do we need millions of computers hashing away, again?

Fundamentally, one of the design features of voting is that it's un-verifiable, i.e. you can say you're voting Bush and go into the booth and vote Gore, and nobody can prove otherwise. Otherwise you could have personal threats against you (boss/spouse/etc) and if you have a ticket that can be verified to show you voted Gore then you could suffer personal harm. Verifiability to the public is actually an bug in the system here - it should be verifiable to the government and no one else. The best systems produce a paper token that is retained at the voting site. You can then validate the number of tokens against the voting rolls/etc, but the "evidence" stays in the possession of the government (who we've already agreed must be trusted anyway since they're the ones maintaining voter rolls/issuing tokens and ballots/checking IDs/etc).

I forget what the name of the theorem is, that says identifiers like domain names or onion names can either be unique/authentic, intelligible, or decentralized, pick any two. Well, you can also say that ballots can either be publically verifiable, trustless, or private, pick any two (where "guaranteed one-per-person" is a form of trust). Blockchain doesn't escape this, it is just a different format for the data (Merkle tree vs flat CSV).
Nice overview from 2016.
A semantic note -- under canonical definitions, "proof of help" is a bad name for your idea. Proof of work/stake means they're using work, or stake, to secure the blockchain; it's the answer to the question "Which blockchain do we trust?" The chain with the most work in it, or the most stake in it.

Here, your "help" is the object you want to have on the blockchain that is trustlessly secure. The analogous object in bitcoin is money.

There are two problems with this view:

1) Sophisticated corporations have developed legal loopholes to eliminate their vulnerability to class actions. Wells Fargo used this tactic to have the lawsuits about the fraudulent accounts it created dismissed [1]. Equifax may or may not be able to benefit from similar provisions (they had one on their website terms of use, which their twitter said didn't apply to the breach as they were getting PR flak for it).

In a move you doubtless approve of, the regulation that would have restored consumer access to the legal system was repealed [2].

2) Money damages in a class action lawsuits aren't going to really make the victims of the Equifax breach whole. Valuing your leaked personal data is very difficult, as is proving that an identity theft was performed with information leaked from a particular source, and both of these will work in Equifax's favor in court. The data has been leaked, and a lawsuit isn't going to put it back into a bottle, nor is it likely to financially chastise Equifax adequately.

Sure, that would make sense for the top 10% of performers. But most people aren't in the top 10%. They're already working in the "gig" economy, which is notorious for its instability and continued deleveraging of the worker. Wouldn't this just amplify those issues over time?
If I understand your scheme, tampering is still possible, we can just detect that it happened. The major difference with a blockchain-based voting solution is that after-the-fact tampering is not possible; you can't arbitrarily remove votes from the chain. And if we try to modify your scheme so that we start cryptographically ensuring that votes are included in the final tally, it's going to start looking a lot like a blockchain.

Let me reiterate: I am a blockchain skeptic. I think that, for the most part, it's a solution looking for a problem, and there's enough trust in most interactions that it's not worth the trouble. I just think voting is one of the rare instances where it does make sense.

Apple was worth $500B in 2012 and $300B in 2013. Does that mean it was overvalued in 2012? Or was it undervalued in 2012 because it is worth $600B in 2014?

Assuming we talking only about "removing big banks from large long-distance cash transfers" which is also one of the few sane possibilities for crypto that I would want. I suspect that if it will ever work then in the fully regulated marked (e.g. we are transferring from regulated country to regulated) then the recipient will have to pay capital gain tax for cashing out on his side. This kinda defeats the whole purpose of the system.

The more I think and read about crypto and blockchain the less practical applications I see.

I wonder if the kind of capital also matters. Does capital contributed by a partner in a venture capital firm more anonymous than money invested in a public company? Is VC money cheaper because it comes from questionable sources which can't find its way into the heavily regulated public market?

He might want to to punish enemies or reward supporters; “control of government” id, in practice, not infinite power, and people often use such a position to, first and foremost, secure the position.

> I mean, "I can't" is an honest answer

Which is a reason Paul might want to let it be known that some form of accountability will be asked in advance. (Which he also might due to push the actual vote results; if it is projected to be close, expecting a cost for voting the “wrong” way if one candidate wins will likely shift some votes.)
I once read a statement attributed to Steve Ballmer that every six months, he tears his todo list in half and throws the bottom half away. If anything far down that list was actually a priority, it will naturally get re-added (by thinking of it again, in response to a customer, etc.).

My implementation of that approach is to do the following each month:

1. Export all my unfinished todo items older than 6 months.
2. Place that export alongside my other backups.
3. Then delete those items from my todo app.

I deliberately do not look at any of those items during this process, lest I be tempted to dive back into them.

That way, I limit my total mental clutter while retaining some peace of mind, since I know that I can get back to those items (I sometimes attach photos, notes, etc. to tasks) if needed. I never do.
Ideally, I'd like to be able to say "Your offer is well-intended, but of little value against the kind of bandwidth-flood-type attacks CloudFlare is very valuable against. This is because the solution to that problem is servers and bandwidth, not more devs hacking things out server-side."

But, obviously, I did not. What I've found is that, if you run light on the praise and ego-stroking, people often either view it as token and ignore it or skip past it entirely. It's a fishhook that lets you smuggle your actual points past defensive mechanisms. You have to set it deep before it's actually useful.

And then you have to wrap your point in completely unjustified uncertainty anyway, to be sure that whoever you're interacting with doesn't feel attacked. People who feel attacked generally aren't listening to, engaging with, or learning from your points.

True, the voter can prove that tampering happened, as the signature receipt they are given is specific to their voting choice (as well as to their secret hash).
