In theory, RandoCoin will necessarily develop a black market based on traits other than the random generation in the long-run. If random generation were used, anyone could theoretically wait some period of time to buy at a low price, and wait more to sell at a high price for a gain, which is clearly unsustainable. The black market would include those who bought RandoCoin at, say, 4 standard-deviations below the mean (all purchases would only be made at the lowest price possible over a year-long window).

This is fairly obvious, and the "experiment" couldn't hope to turn up anything useful, so my main guess is this is nothing more than a cleverly-disguised pyramid scheme or scam. I would recommend not purchasing any, even for novelty, in order to discourage this nonsense. This could have easily just been a hypothetical post and would have been more interesting than a crappy FAQ.
Well, you asked and I've answered.

Like I said in another reply, I pay for what I value, but there is no guarantee that what I value includes a specific blog or website.

Yes, maybe I'll read it and certainly I will block ads and tracking, because I don't like spyware nor malware.
And if the content creator decides to block me or disappears I will read something else.
Maybe if they had an easy way for me to pay them per article I would do it, but there is currently no such easy way that I know of. If my browser allowed me to pay websites somehow it would be ideal (and also a security nightmare).

It may be harsh, but that's how it is. When I publish stuff I just give it away, I know I am somewhat privileged to be able to do this, however I see it as giving back to society in a small way.

The point is that this is legal HTML. The HTML spec does define all kinds of things as illegal (though it defines how the parser should handle them, for reasons of security and consistency), but these things are all legal. All have had the same behaviour forever, though omitting <html>, <head> and <body> tags being legal is, I believe, new to HTML 5. But the rest (e.g. not closing a paragraph tag and not using quotes on simple attribute values) have been legal from the very start, and even popular, though they have fallen out of favour for authoring in recent years.

This is absolutely nothing to do with Postel’s law. I believe that Postel’s law is a terrible idea in most places—it leads to a lack of robustness in practice, and all kinds of security problems, because most programmers are frankly not good at their trade. Rather, the HTML spec defines all behaviour—so there is no liberality about it; you’re simply following the spec with no interpretation—which is the only way to write robust protocols and their implementations.
You make a good point, but could you please not rant like this on Hacker News? I mean, "greedy little fuckshits"? Come on.

The good part of your comment talks specifically about your own experience. It's natural to have strong feelings based on that, and Hacker News threads are a fine place to talk about one's own experiences. Just don't make generic rants out of them or sling mud at people you disagree with. For example, your sentence that begins "Far more rarely" is a fine contribution to the thread.

Dynamic pricing is usually meaning showing different prices for the same itinerary (including dates) to different people or to the same person at different times. Travel being more expensive during peak times doesn't need much dynamism; orlando hotels are going to be full in summer, every year forever, with you get to pay full price; if you go the 2nd week of January, it's probably pretty empty so you get a big discount.

I don't have enough experience with ReasonML but the primary reason I am hesitant to adopt F# in my production applications (which currently use typescript) is because of following reasons:

1. Record types are very inflexible. It is, for example, not trivial to do things like get a new record type by adding a few fields to an existing record types.

2. F# supports only explicit interfaces. Making records implement interfaces requires defining getters and setters for every property. And requires explicit casting when you are sending a record to a function that uses an interface.

When you don't control the types (as is often when working with third party libraries) this becomes a major annoyance especially when you are habituated to typescript's structural typing.

While I would like to see opaque types in typescript for some use cases, I really think having structural types, implicit interfaces and erased unions by default makes life a lot easier, especially when it comes to interop with wider js ecosystem.

At the end of the day it quickly becomes very obvious that where as typescript was built from ground up to embrace javascript ecosystem, F# was not. As a result, when targeting javascript, a lot of design decisions which were based on limitations of CLR being a C# focused object oriented platform come across as bizarre and jarring. For instance why do we need both modules and namespaces ? Why are statically resolved type parameters only supported in inline functions ?

I will admit that this can be very much a case of me being more familiar with typescript and not so much with F#.

I do have a deep appreciation for both F# and Fable teams who have been incredibly helpful in stackoverflow and gitter. I strongly prefer F#'s syntax despite being a full time JS/TS developer and F#'s type inference is far better than what typescript offers today and at times it feels almost magical.

I also think that Fable's approach for generating babel compliant AST and taking advantage of babel ecosystem is brilliant and something I'd like to see in more languages targeting javascript.

Nevertheless, the learning is curve with the latter has been significantly steeper and at places the error messages are bizarrely confusing. Thus, I am not yet fully convinced that for a bulk of frontend applications (I mostly work on enterprise applications for data analysis and visualization) the benefits of that learning curve are substantially justified especially if you don't have any existing investment on the .Net side.
Zcash doesnt have a way to validate monet supply, and it is not private by default, which is a big no. It also doesn't provide network level privacy (monero doesnt either, but kovri is in the works)
The problem with the glove analogy (i.e. having a local hidden variable) is that it cannot explain quantum entanglement. Bell's theorem shows that entangled systems are correlated in a strictly stronger way. Quantum indeterminacy is different than the classical "we don't know which glove is in your pocket but we know they're opposites" sort of uncertainty.
Can someone explain why? Does Apple music have significantly more songs? Is it significantly cheaper? Or is it simply because it's the default music app on iPhone?
What you’re describing are literally the most horrible keyboards I have the displeasure to use.

For example: the IBM Model M is one of the single worst typing experiences imo. The only way to type on that thing is use about 5x the force I normally do.

No wonder our industry is plagued by RSI - it lionizes horrible things like this due to misguided nostalgia.

You advice was great up until this bit, at which point you are completely wrong.

8 Questions to   Test a Personality and a Life Purpose
I'm less interested in voice assistants and more interested in how speech recognition will interact with existing interfaces. One advantage GUI has over CLIs is the "graphical" component. Graphics can output to the user so much more information in so much less time than text (colloquially "a picture says a thousand words"). Text-to-speech output has the bandwidth problem a CLI has and it isn't persistent. If you didn't hear the voice assistant the first time, you have to make it repeat the entire sentence.

What I think is really the killer feature of speech recognition is its role as an input. Anecdotally, I find the only times I use any voice UI is for setting alarms (because iOS's time input makes you scroll thru every minute) and asking a sufficiently long question to Google (because touchscreen keyboards are still imprecise and I've got fat fingers). Even though both Android and iOS have speech recognition built into their keyboards I think there's something someone is missing on the input side.

To be fair, many (most?) people here (myself included) either have made or are currently making a ton of money off the internet advertising business. It's tough to condemn something when your paycheck depends on it.

Thanks to the magic of cognitive dissonance I can still hold the opinion that advertising has been an enormous net negative for the internet and the world.
I prefer AM's iPhone UI and it has Siri and Apple Watch integration.

Plus Spotify's CarPlay app is essentially useless and dangerous to use when driving.

Excellent! This is from the same author as "Modern JavaScript Explained For Dinosaurs"[1], that article got me much more closer to understanding the insane world of modern frontend development, I would recommend it to any other "dinosaurs" like me.

Maybe if they had an easy way for me to pay them per article I would do it, but there is currently no such easy way that I know of.

That's what I keep hearing over and over. And that's why I created a PayPal tip jar and wrote up instructions for other people to follow. Most people have PayPal and you can leave as little as a dollar.

It hasn't magically transformed my income and no one seems interested in adopting it.

Everyone talks about wanting micro payments of less than a dollar and something that is less hassle than paying a tip via PayPal. I am at a point where I genuinely believe this is just an excuse and, no, they absolutely don't want to support it.

The HN crowd in particular tends to make good money. They could afford to kick in a few bucks. My impression from web traffic is they use ad blockers at a very high percentage and their position is always that writers can write for free, simply to express themselves.

This is a form of classism. Developers generally have comfortable incomes. If they blog, it is to express themselves and possibly enhance their professional life and make them more employable.

I consistently hear that writers just basically should do it for free. That is the very definition of slave labor. This same crowd has nothing but terrible things to say about content mills, one of the few ways a writer can get paid for their writing consistently.
Just a minor note, in a couple of places there is "inherit" written where the author clearly intended to write "inherent".

sure, it is fighting bad tech with more tech - but that will be _good_ tech, hopefully..
besides that more regulation is needed - as others have rightfully stated.
but this is not an either/or choice.. both are needed and tech is not going to be ditched any time soon.. on the contrary i would think :)

It’s really interesting you say that to me because one of the reasons I loathed Spotify (aside from its awful UI) is that music discovery was so achingly bad.

IMO - Pandora > Apple Music > Spotify for discovery at least.

Then again I like that Apple Music throws me a curveball occasionally, it’s usually something I wouldn’t expect but quite like.

Which, to me, is the point. YMMV ofc.
I totally agree with this sentiment. The auto-generated lists on Apple music suck compared to Spotify. I do think the curated stuff on Apple music is formidable but that's about it. For people who want to discover music...spotify is still the way to go. Apple is just really good at shoving their stuff on people. Spotify has no ecosystem to leverage like apple
No, that's simply not true - the exemption is if the data needs to be used to actually do the service right now. Quoting the actual directive, "processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party"; there's no "good service" there, nor future improvements of that service, nor sustained profitable operation of the company. And "necessary" means just that; if you physically can perform the contract without this data, then the data is not legally necessary even if you'd go bankrupt if everyone did that. This exemption covers things like storing your address for deliveries of goods, a messaging app storing your contact info, instagram storing your photos - things where that data is inherently needed to execute that service.

Data can be helpful to improve some recommendations that will make service better in the future - fine, the users can opt-in and some will do that; but that's not an automatic justification to use that data;

Data can be helpful to support the future development your service with revenue - fine, the users can opt-in and some will do that (i.e. many people turn off adblockers and give patreon funding to services they like), but again, that's not going to be legal justification to use data of those who don't want to.

There are a bunch of other exemptions where you can use that data without consent (compliance with other legal requirements, overriding public interest as in e.g. press about public officials), but "I need money to continue operating" is not among them. GDPR is intended to solve the conflict between "I don't want to provide data" vs "I need data-based revenue to continue operating" in the favor of users. If you really do need that data based revenue to operate, then the users can "vote" (by opt-in) whether they consider your continued operation valuable enough to hand over their data voluntarily.

> the very point of them is to take the issuance and control out of the hands of sovereigns

I think a lot of cryptocurrency enthusiasts are going to be solely disappointed when history teaches them the lesson that the common man cannot take the keys to the kingdom.

It's a nice utopian idea to take take the issuance and control out of the hands of sovereigns. However I feel that history has taught us that this just doesn't happen. Eventually the cryptocurrency "free market" will get regulated and the leash will tighten, and central reserves will begin to issue token-based currency backed by a traditional resource.

The technology will almost certainly carry over, but the open source element of it likely won't.
Just monitor your production memory profile, and occasionally run load test on your app. It is fine.
I wonder if there are other languages that like CSS work by exception.
You add "cases" (switches based on the classes, ids, tags) to portions of CSS not by adding lines (like traditional functions) to them but by extending them with a distant block.

I don't see how the two links you posted supports the assertion that the "notion that advertisements pay for websites is entirely fabricated."

First link is about fraud against advertisers, selling them fake ad impressions. Second link is about a sophisticated scheme to deliver malware to the end users using the ad ecosystem.

How does that dispute the fact that people who have websites can profit from putting ads on them?
