I think the real secret of many advice books, baby or otherwise, is that nobody knows what they're doing. It's especially hard for baby and other parenting advice, though, because the goals are so varied. What is the aim? A quiet baby? A happy baby? A hard working child, a smart child, a well-behaved child, a happy child? A well-adjusted (whatever that means) adult? A driven and successful adult? A good relationship with the kid? Any of thousands of others?

It's impossible for any scientific study to address all possible outcomes and the relationships between them.

Of course it is, Assange never came in for questioning! That's the reason people are arrested: so that they can be charged. Since he evaded arrest, he hasn't been charged. It's absurdly circular logic to suggest that this implies innocence.

Show HN: Find the perfect surf vacation for you. (Built in 7 Days, Zero Code)
Hi HN! I made this.

It’s a web app called, Surf Trip List, that helps you find the perfect surf trip for you, book flights and book accommodations all in one place.

I built it in 7 days using only Squarespace, Typeform and Right Message.

(link below)

If this became a business I imagine it’d be from partnerships with local Airbnb hosts, hotels, etc. But first I need to make the site valuable enough for a large audience to use and return to.

What do you think? Would love any honest feedback!

Thanks!

All warrants for arrest refer to allegations. Is that your whole point. I'm pretty sure we all realise this.
It's the highest speed trains. There is a speed meter on one side of the carriage. The cruise speed is beyond 300 km/h.
The computer has only integers and floats for purposes of calculation (except for some IBM units implementing IEEE fixed point). In storage though, there are only whole numbers to which we assign meaning.

Store your as a single integer then write a small layer that converts that integer into decimal (that's all a language or DB does anyway). Alternatively, use two entries in the database for each side of the decimal if you want even more precision or store it as a string if you want arbitrary precision.
I was thinking more of the lines of the first steps towards distributed assets. Maybe something like

<img src="images/cat.jpg" some-new-attr="ipfs://mdgpreefl215jfeiwef2456/cat.jpg">

Or maybe `some-new-attr` could be a 2nd src? In any case, it's only to deal with asset distribution. One of the challenges with something like YouTube is simply the infrastructure to host all that content, as well as content/videos disappearing when YouTube decides they don't want to host it. With IPFS, you could reduce the server load on the content creator and also give the asset permanency if it's popular enough to be seen/rehosted by others.

The img tag example isn't that great of an example I'll admit. But it could eventually be extended to permanence of the entire page/site. Although there are already better tools suited for that, like ZeroNet.
> Payments are the perfect application found, so far, for the blockchain.

That statement really needs to be tempered with context.

For some relatively recent blockchains, and for particular tradeoffs that enhance transaction throughput over raw security guarantees, payments are a practical use case, yes. But of course, the parent was talking about Bitcoin, and Bitcoin is a miserable payments protocol.

There really shouldn't be any sentimentality to that second assertion. It's simply a poor currency according to the metrics of price volatility, transaction verification speed and transaction fees. If you redefine the ideal parameters of a payments protocol as trustlessness, permissionlessness and decentralization, then sure, it seems better. But then we're disagreeing on what constitutes a robust payments protocol according to normative statements, not positive ones. I think the only people who would agree Bitcoin constitutes a robust, practical payments protocol are those who really want its qualities in a payments protocol. But in the real world, companies like Stripe have very specifically and publicly abandoned it for their own alternatives.

I do think blockchains can be used as a payments platform, with the caveat that I think proof-of-stake based consensus and various throughput improvements (not lightning network) in other blockchains are the way forward for that use case. Stripe has invested in Stellar, Tendermint/Cosmos can scale up dramatically, etc. I also regard Bitcoin as a cultural landmark of exceptional importance because it inspired many follow-on innovations in research and engineering. However, for most practical applications, I consider Bitcoin to have failed (thus far) in its original goal as a payments protocol, and to be largely superseded in practice by various alternatives.

As you said: Bitcoin isn't designed to be efficient. But if payments were actually the "perfect" application for it, it would actually be efficient, because the utility of a currency becomes higher the more efficient it becomes (e.g. higher liquidity, higher stability, etc). As for blockchains in general, I don't think payments are really the perfect application for any of them, because I disagree that decentralization, permissionlessness or trustlessness are desirable qualities in a payments platform - each of those reduces efficiency, which leaves you with private blockchains that tradeoff one or more of those security guarantees. They can be used for this purpose, but I don't consider them ideal at the moment.

Rather, I think blockchains map well to solutions for hard cryptographic problems and fault-tolerant distributed systems.

I like that they started with comparison to other animals, with humans being born "sooner" in the development cycle due to our larger brains.

To me, this sets up a nice mental model for the first ~18 months of parenting: your child is still developing the extreme basics, in particular its brain, which is forming pathways based on your actions. So set to work forming those pathways with lots of talking, face time, and letting your child observe the world. After all, it came out to get an "early" start!
16383 digits ought to be enough for everyone:

"up to 131072 digits before the decimal point; up to 16383 digits after the decimal point"

Non jokingly: I think precision wise that's really plenty enough for pretty much any halfway realistic usecase (no, don't do public key crypto using SQL datatypes). There's some issues with the numeric / decimal type, but lack of potential precision isn't one of them.

My understanding was that Satoshi Nakamoto is an alias / the true author(s) of that paper remains anonymous. For me that's where the scary bit of blockchain lies. i.e. It's very tempting to go the government conspiracy theory route of who's benefiting from making this public / is it possible that it's been crafted to look secure whilst having some fatal flaw which is not immediately obvious. I don't really believe that; but equally can't discount the possibility.

> Once you account for all the costs relative to them in a given year and divide that number with the number of transactions in that same year, I doubt, given the margins of a given transaction, that a bank can break even on 1 cents transactions

This is a strange argument. Visa's costs, per transaction, are demonstrably lower than Bitcoin's. Specific banks and systems may be more or less efficient. But fundamentally, the trustlessness that is a blockchain's selling point comes at the cost--by definition in proof of work systems--of efficiency.
I'm not asking for anything merely giving a possible explanation of what drives the continued stand-off.

It should be clear to all parties by now that nothing is to be gained from continuing it and yet it is continued.

> PoS consensus systems do allow for blockchains to be used to resolve consensus for future decisions

I suppose you mean that someone (out of a group G) can commit an instruction saying "the future decision is Y" into the blockchain, and at some time later everyone will be convinced this is the future decision. This is not related to PoS, this will work for pretty much any system that supports smart contracts.

In this situation the decision is not executed in a shared manner - even if one of G gets disconnected from the network, the decision still gets executed by the blockchain. So it is still different from the Two Generals Problem (as stated), where everyone in the group G must participate in executing the decision.

So blockchains still don't solve the Two General Problem. Nor should this be a goal. I think the Two Generals Problem is stupidly strong and really unnecessary in the vast majority of real computing scenarios, including the blockchain.

> Interesting - do you mind providing an exemplary paper or two? I'd like to read them.

Attachment parenting plays on a theme familiar in self-help: the idea that you should reject outside expertise in favour of your own instincts and inner resources – except in the case of the guru offering this advice, who demands your obedience to his or her expertise.

You could replace “Attachment Parenting” with so many different ideas, from anti-vaxxer ideology to AGW denialism. It’s painful to think about just how broadly applicable the observation of the author is beyond the realm of this article. As a species we’re drowning in tribes, cults, and misinformation for power, profit, or comfort.

In particular New Age-ism, political identity, and alternative “medicine” are hotbeds of this.
Just because there is a lot of bad advice. Doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

In my experience as an American, it’s basically impossible for most Americans to talk about race and class problems at the same time. It seems as if for most people they exist in a zero-sum relationship; either everything wrong is because race(ism) or everything wrong is because class(ism). It’s not only exasperating, but seems to have stalemated progress on a societal level for generations.

Indeed. The bio-availability from 'chasing the dragon' on tin-foil is something like 50% or even less, although in the UK at least powdered heroin is adulterated with things like caffeine (which causes heroin to vaporize at a lower temperature) to make smoking more effective. Obviously IV injecting gives 100% bio-availability, though.

In theory, the value of the blockchain is proportional to the value of attacking it; if a particular chain is not very valuable, it doesn't need to have much power securing it.
Directed at you and the parent. A better way to structure this is ask for at least one integration test, then tell the candidate that testing strategy and methodology will be discussed in the review.

I really miss having the building block rationale of all the perception/classification/segmentation networks out there.

The only thing I've found really useful until now, is to put 2-fully connected layers if the classifier does now handle well classification... just because you needed a hidden perceptron layer for the XOR case.

Dreyfus was an army officer who was tried and convicted for treason, sentenced to life and sent to Devil's Island to be imprisoned and tortured, for the sole reason that he was a Jew (and a convenient scapegoat for a crime obviously committed by someone else).

After looking at what that kind of money buys in Cali -- anywhere in Cali -- and looking at what it buys outside of Cali, I eventually concluded it made more sense to go elsewhere. If you can't afford at least $200k in Cali, you can expect it to be a shithole. It would undermine my fragile health and also need ten's of thousands of dollars worth of work. I am happy to buy a fixer, but not one that will ruin my health and my finances.

Whether this was simply to prove that the genesis block was mined no sooner than January 3rd 2009, or if additionally that date and that news paper was chosen for the headline of that day one cannot know but a lot of people choose to interpret it as a comment on the instability caused by fractional-reserve banking.

> blockchaining is an arms race in computing power.

Distributed blockchains.
You can certainly have instant funds transfers, if you are comfortable with a single security lapse instantly leading to the loss of your life savings.

I'd imagine international transfers are slower proportional to the risk of security lapses when working with disparate organizations (and the difficulty in reversing mistakes.)

Blockchains might be more secure in principle than traditional banks, but blockchains are pretty much all designed so that a single key compromise amounts to a catastrophic failure. Now you can manage this by having manu wallets and many keys to some extent, but at the end of the day it's still much less reliable than just having a bunch of bankers who are paid to take their time and ensure sure all transfers are authorized.

Steam also allows you to change your publicly visible username more or less at will.

There's one "account name" which you pick at sign up, use to log in, and can never change (as far as I know), but you can then pick a "user name". The "user name" is what gets shown in any interaction with other users (forums, profile page, chat, in games, etc) and IIRC it doesn't even need to be unique.

Tagging people on your friends list is a great feature to match, since the tags remain when the tagged user changes their user name, which some people do quite often (whether for a joke or just because they got bored of the old one).

It really seems like a great system and it'd be nice if other systems offered the same degree of flexibility.
