The LN network has major limitations that don't allow it to be a full substitute for on-chain transactions.

Let's look at how it affects savers for example. LN channels have a maximum debit-delta capacity established by their BTC collateral. When one party is receiving BTC much more often than they're sending it, the LN channel reaches capacity, and a new LN transaction has to be created with its own collateral.

Any party that saves any portion of their revenue will quickly see their LN channels filled, and new ones required.

This essentially means that low-income savers, like what you would expect to see in Venezuela, will see their income eaten up by transaction fees for continual LN channel setup transactions.

The author should have looked to Bitcoin Cash, which will permit low-cost on-chain transactions at large scale usage levels, or Ethereum. Ethereum is processing 4X as many transactions, representing several times as much USD value, as Bitcoin per day. Its transaction fees are much lower and it has a comprehensive on-chain scaling plan that it is pursuing.

Mail AMP is a Google controlled superset of email.
It is a given by many that chat is the ultimate social glue, and G already has their own chat protocol. In the interest of keeping people engaged, and keeping them walled in, I kind figured the long play of Google mail is to slowly morph all email into (a partially email compatible) Wave.
Mine aren't. From the plants in the garden - super tasty, colorful and prodigious. Fill the freezer every summer, use them in cooking all winter.

Spring sucks though - freezer is empty, waiting for the new plants to deliver the first cherry tomatoes.
This reminds me very much of the emacs org-mode experience. But the good (bad?) thing about this is that it doesn't require emacs. I was looking for an alternative to recommend to my friends, since having to learn both the new notation and emacs really creates some friction.
backports ? debian testing ?
I often use HN as an archive, so I end up in very old threads when I search for particular things. As a result I quite often have tabs open with threads that are years old. And more than once I tried commenting/upvoting, thinking it was a recent thread.

I don't think you're wrong, but I do agree that it's easy to only remember the good bits. Anecdotally at least apparently old threads can be just as bad, and that's even after search for specific topics!
At the risk of stating the obvious - this is one really dorky name and it's on a .co domain. It looks and sounds dispensable, so it's understandable few are willing to commit to using it.

ive found that I enjoy reading about the wake more than reading the text itself.
there's plenty of books around that walk you through the text but I've never got around to reading any of them. most of the things I've picked up have just been tidbits here and there online

there some audio on YouTube of the man himself reading a short passage that helps get an idea of how some of the words sound
https://youtu.be/M8kFqiv8Vww

the mckenna video above was my introduction to the wake and its well worth a listen.

i jumped into the deep end with the wake a few years back without ever reading his earlier work but im listening to a podcast now by frank delaney where he goes through ulysses line by line and christ is that book dense. there are so many references that in some episodes he only gets through a single line!
I'm thinking now that maybe ulysses is the deep end and the wake is one of those huge sink holes that collapse and swallow whole buildings.

I wouldn't say it's abnormal, but I also wouldn't say it's positive. It's clearly a move to less autonomy and more decisions-from-above. Stuff like "constantly push ourselves out of our comfort zone" literally means "we want to make this an uncomfortable place to work".

This type of culture is fine, there's nothing wrong with it, but we need to acknowledge that for people who joined in the previous setup, this is simply a management bait-and-switch.
Backports and testing don't, by policy, get reliable security support, so they aren't a good answer for users.

As long as Debian stable is a target that developers feel their app should run on, backports and testing aren't solutions for app developers.
They didn't. You couldn't change the UI.
In terms of absolute physical harm, yes.

If you live with other people you probably need to convince them to do things differently too.

In my experience this can be very stressful and I wonder if the induced stress of even worse for ones health.
I postponed upgrading because of reported issues with the original Magic Trackpad, and it looks like a dodged a real bullet right there.

Every few months, just as soon as I start thinking maybe I should give in to Apple’s incessant nagging and dark-pattern prompts to upgrade, stuff like this comes up.

I think I’ll just wait for the new release, or for a time when I’m ready to wipe any machine I want to upgrade.
You can avoid having to declare each character separately if you use the unicode-math package: https://github.com/wspr/unicode-math . I suggest you try it; it's life-changing for e.g. general relativity stuff where there are a lot of Greek letters being thrown around!
There seems to be an overall attitude in these early comments that have seemed to reach a consensus of, "Those changes sound like what every company should have."

Personally, I'm not sure I agree.

I think it's entirely possible that those qualities are not what help startups grow, but instead please investors/people not involved in the actual success of the company, while generally decreasing real productivity, increasing turnover, and causing anyone who sticks out from the norm to be the first to go.

I might be wrong, but I've yet to be on a team under hard pressure for long periods of time that I saw productivity rise under. Instead, people stress more, and productivity drops because everyone's worrying about looking like they're working instead of figuring out the right work and nailing it.

For some of them, several dialects are supported. For more information, refer to the documentation that comes with the package, it should be within your distribution under the name listings-*.dvi.

Notes

1 It supports Mathematica code only if you are typing in plain text format. You can't include *.NB files \lstinputlisting{...} as you could with any other programming language, but Mathematica can export in a pretty-formatted LaTeX source.
2 Specification of the dialect is mandatory for these languages (e.g. language={[x86masm]Assembler}).
3 Modelica is supported via the dtsyntax package available here.
4 For these languages, multiple dialects are supported. C, for example, has ANSI, Handel, Objective and Sharp. See p. 12 of the listings manual for an overview.

Its still destroying the rails when firing then?

Last time i checked this was the problem indicated- making a rail replacement necessary any x-shots, and erasing the saved volume and weight on ammonition nearly completely.

So what about the obvious TRIZ sollutions?

Make the Rail replaceable? As in build it from a substance that can be recoolected and swiftly reshaped on the fly into a new rail? Some sort of conducting ice that only last long enough to keep the current flowing and the projectile wagon on the rail on its way out?

How about a entirely diffrent approach - seperating rail and conducting?
As in, two laser-created plasmachannels with non-conducting rails?

Being only a teeny bit polemical, I sincerely hope the whole overblown containerization fad will die.

Sure, it has its uses, but outside of those, it's just yet another needless layer of obfuscation. OS'es and centralised package management served us well for a generation or two. I worry that Docker & Co. are going to send all that the same way js sent a few decades worth of soundly developed programming practice.
... knowing lots of sweaty folks? Living through summers of sweat and humidity? Knowing that lots of folks are fine with simply washing up on non-shower days - and that some folks simply don't live in areas with such shower access? Waking up slimy with sweat around the breast and armpit area and having a brutally honest spouse who'd tell me if I stink? Freaking medical knowledge about what causes the smell?

Seriously. Just stay clean, and that doesn't actually involve daily showers. Change clothes as necessary, especially underclothes. Use products that reduce sweating under the arms. You can wash up without showering, and if it is a hot, humid area everyone has a bit of sweat. Only a few areas tend to produce strong smells on a daily basis.

If it isn't right for you, don't do it.

Not necessarily -- with the right editor, e.g. Emacs, you can have it automatically convert "\alpha" to "α" (built-in TeX input mode), or if you're using AUCTeX, you can type "`a", which would be easier than "\alpha" or "α"!

Edit: Oops, saw the sibling post. That also works, although sadly I can't take always advantage of that since I'm not always on Linux.

Also if an employee chose to take a lower salary to work at a company with a relaxed culture, and that culture becomes just like any company, why wouldn't that employee expect their salary to be upped accordingly?
YouTube itself already has speed controls, if I'm learning technical content I generally watch at 2.0x.

Unless the presenter has an accent I don't hear often, in which case I usually need to slow down quite a bit. Or if they're not a very good presenter, with mumbling or odd pacing or issues like that.

With text I don't have to slow down as much to correct bad spelling/grammar, since I've seen so much of it. You lose any emotion or emphasis but you gain resilience when communicating across cultures.

> Eventually, it would be America’s industrial capacity that would overwhelm Nazi Germany..

That's a wee bit revisionistic. If any of one country is to be portrayed as defeating the Nazis, it should probably be the USSR, and that at an astronomic cost.
The article is nothing else but a huge load of cheap marketing material. If they do have such AI expertise, how about just apply such skills to find out all those fake craps flooding taobao.com owned by the same group?

Look at Ant Financial's credit score system known as the sesame score, it is just a huge disaster and embarrassment to the company. Last year, Ant Financial openly promoted the idea to let high sesame score users to exclusively date young college girls, you will only be allowed to contact/interact with those college girls if your sesame score is higher than 750. You have to question the overall integrity of the company and the team behind such ideas.

At the beginning of 2018, users received notification from Ant Financial for viewing their 2017 yearly bill. Ant Financial forced all users who want to view that yearly bill to disclose their sesame score potentially to the rest part of the Alibaba group.

No one from the top management team stepped down after the above two incidents, even when both of them hit national headline. Why? Because uncle Jack Ma's Ant Financial doesn't give a crap on such "tiny" incidents.

With such track record, AI or no AI, I wouldn't trust such a company for handling my personal data and finance. Luckily, there are other far better & more innovative Chinese competitors kicking Ant Financial's ass right now, e.g. Tencent.
You don't know the requirements of documentation that we're writing. They don't need a table of contents. They don't need an index. They don't need citations. They don't need math symbols. They don't need tables more complex than a word processor can create. We require no features which your typical academic or research paper requires. We are documenting processes with screenshots that users can refer to in order to accomplish specific tasks. Only a dozen of them are more than 25 pages, and in Word if you keep your document formatting simple and use the built-in styles for headings, the Navigation Pane serves as a hyperlinked ToC. None of these documents should be printed because the processes can change, so beyond basic structure, layout isn't particularly important.

Furthermore, our documents can't be written in LaTeX because half the people responsible for maintaining them come from a non-technical background with no experience in programming. No, we are not going to inflict a WYSIWYG LaTeX editor -- all of which are far less usable than Word -- on people just because some technical people want to pretend they're programming.

Nevertheless, our CS interns invariably say, "Why don't we use LaTeX for this documentation?" I understand why they want to. They use LaTeX for all their papers. However, it is inappropriate in our situation and has gotten to be a rather irritating question.

Udemy is watermarking the video, even though they know they frequently have pirated material.

And although the DMCA allows infringing copyright to be kept behind paywalls, I think this may have been a mistake. A general paywall, like a newspaper preventing non subscribers from reading user comments, seems more reasonable than charging per specific infringing video.
We once collaborated on a design document in Wave, before discovering that printing wasn't really supported by the app. I was very impressed and excited by Wave, but we all just needed better Google Docs.
OpenSSL of old (which broke API between releases...

Never mind that, there were cases where OpenSSL broke binary compatibility in security patches. Code which worked fine suddenly stopped working when OpenSSL was upgraded.

During my tenure as FreeBSD security officer, OpenSSL was right at the top of the "don't ever trust the patches these guys send out" list.
"Bitcoin has very few of the properties that one would consider desirable for a currency."

The desirable properties of currency are:
- difficult to counterfeit
- fungibility
- robustness from degradation (eg: salt works except if you get it wet)
- consistent store of value
- Easily transportable.

Bitcoin has all of the above, and has better qualities in each regard than both gold and the US dollar.

As for your complaints:
1. Transaction fees are not a problem. You can move a million dollars for $0.20. You can move 1 penny for a millionth of a penny with bitcoin. The "transaction fees" FUD is just a campaign combined with a spam attack and that spam attack has been defeated. Further it becomes irrelevant with lightning.

2. Bitcoin is literally inflationary. It won't stop inflating until 2140. You think its "deflationary" because its price keeps going up, but that's simply a consequence of the technology adoption lifecycle.

The idea that deflation is bad is absurd. Monetary inflation is a form of taxation, or more precisely counterfeiting. It is literally theft. The reason old people have trouble getting by is that the government has stolen their lifetime of savings via inflation. The idea that government propaganda has convinced people that this is somehow good is really quite disgusting.

3) There is no reason to hard fork bitcoin. The only ones that have happened were early days and an accidental one (which nobody noticed because everyone upgraded.) You don't need to hard fork bitcoin.

Unwinding "mundane fraud" is not a feature of gold or the US Dollar so the idea that this is a requirement of a currency is absurd.

Also, you were complaining that it is centralized, but your evidence is that it's so decentralized that you can't reverse transactions?! You said you were having trouble articulating it, so maybe you switched points in the middle.

Anyway, censorship resistance is a good thing-- any method that lets you "unwind mundane fraud" would let a government censor who has what bitcoin.

I did A-level maths, I've programmed computers for 30 years since I was a kid.

Ive implanted algorithms to calculate solar irradiance varying by orientation, inclination and latitude.

I don't understand what my 7yo stepsons maths homework is asking him to do/learn.

It's just weird and I'm not sure he always does either, it teaches the how (weirdly) but never the why, I've started teaching him how to understand the practical uses for maths.

We play games now like "how many bricks in the wall" when we are out and about.

I struggled with maths as a child because I never saw what it was for, once you realise that it's the language of the universe things click why it is important, I'm not a mathematician nor do I need to be but I still appreciate those who are.
It pains me to hear that the situation is so dire in your country. Are there any plans to bring internet to the masses?

I recently bought a robotic vacuum cleaner; I'd vacuum normally about once a week, and it seemed that I'd need to vacuum more often, because the dust gathers everywhere; having not the time or the inclination to bring out the heavy hoover, I decided to buy a robot one.

It is the best investition in the last 12 months, by far. It goes around automatically each day and keeps the floor clean. But that's not impresses me. What I'm impressed about the the level of dust that it accumulates each day. I'd expect each day to be a bit less, but no, it's about the same. So I set out to figure out where the dust comes from, as I live in a clean area of the city, surrounded by trees and greenery.

To my shock, it's us. The dust is primarily decomposed skin and clothes chafing off due to the skin friction. I can't imagine how damaging this is to our lungs, of course, nothing compared to chemicals or coal dust, but still...

I can't recommend enough to everybody to buy a robotic vacuum cleaner these days. I bought a cheap Eufy, and I can't imagine what a more expensive one would actually do more than this one.
Docs pretty much threw out all the Writely code and switched over to a new editor built from scratch (codename "Kix") in 2010. I'm not sure if Kix used code from Wave, though.

Beefsteak tomatoes are super bland, as is iceberg lettuce, because they are selected for volume, not taste (it's the best way to make a profit while keeping end-consumer prices low). Same goes for most large varieties of produce.

Try getting some heirloom tomatoes from a farmer's market, or grow your own. You'll be shocked at the difference. Tomatoes (real ones) have a distinctive and delicious taste!
> One of the methods that most struck me to automate this simplification was taking the CAD model, transforming it to the frequency domain where high frequencies represent small geometric details and large frequencies, larges underlying features in the model's geometry. So you can filter out the high frequencies, transform it back and end up with a simplified model. You've literally filtered away the smaller geometric features of the model.

That’s a very interesting idea. I guess the problem is though, how would you be able to make such a transformation?
Same here practically but the order of precedence I described applies to on the highway.
That sounds like attempts to supply logical order instead of chronological, which is indeed a disaster; it needs to be as well as. (i.e. at any given time you can ignore it and just look at things in chronological order.)
This is kind of what I expected too. Surely that component of the architecture can (even if the OP's doesn't) be smart enough to handle various certificate scenarios - there must be someone using it with a wildcard certificate, for instance.
I am surprised it is that low.
> Do people not have Black Widows where they live?

Nope. I think the most dangerous animal you'd encounter around here is the tick, which is related to the Lyme disease it might carry.
The alternative is having people buy a building, not do anything with it, and wait for the price to increase to sell it at a profit. Leading to a shortage of real estate with a ton of unused real estate.

And no, we can't just wait for the market to self-correct for empty properties being devalued due to being surrounded by empty properties: you'll just end up with empty, abandoned buildings that nobody wants to fix.

If you want incentives to make people avoid doing that, the only two methods that I can think of are property tax, or legalised squatting (with squatters having a right to stay).
I remember looking for such a thing and not finding it. Maybe it was added later? I tried an early version of Wave, briefly.

If it was indeed added later, this is an example of something Joel Spolsky cautioned against: don't do a huge marketing blitz for version 1.0 of your product. Aim for user count to increase in step with product maturity.

Though admittedly this might be hard to avoid with a product that has strong network effects.
