The trick here is to make auctions seem _fair_. Every economist loves the idea of an auction because it is inherently more fair to sell a good at the price convergence of what someone is willing to pay with the scarcity of the object. The problem is that it often leaves all of the buyers unhappy. Either you got outbid and are annoyed that you need to keep looking for that good, or you won the auction and potentially feel buyers remorse that you overpaid for that good.

I think the problem here is that Ebay doesn't give any metrics on how frequent an item comes to market, nor does it give any pricing history for how much an object typically sells for. Instead of tackling those problems, they just opted for the "buy it now" button.
It blows me away that some HN posters don't have a junk address for this kind of thing.

> The big difference I see with China is that they have a massive booming economy. Unlike the USSR which failed to stay productive, they might be able to pull it off.

Yes, this issue is the biggest one in the world right now (besides political stability and commitment to democracy in the US). Military power flows from economic power more than from anything else. In maybe 10 years, for the first time since WWII the US may have the second biggest economy and be falling further behind. The US + Europe would still far exceed China, but of course international cooperation is unfashionable for some reason.

Executive decided it was best that he keep his job.
UI Developer for over 20 years and fine arts and design major in college. From my experience I can't agree more with all of these recommendations.

Fewer font sizes and more font weights in general is always good.

Removing borders is extremely powerful for a lot of great reasons. When trying to maximize data density and readability, when trying to reduce clutter/visual noise and gain whitespace. The use cases for borders can often be resolved in other ways. However this puts more demand on the quality of the typography and layout hence the other techniques mentioned come into play those are design challenges worth addressing.

More on borders: This of course is a tool that can be mis-used but I find it is one of the best tools I have. The emphasis should be on data / information not on arbitrary borders. You can say the same thing many different ways visually. This is under-appreciated. You need not have font size, color, style all colluding to say the same thing, that you can accomplish with only one of these. When dealing with any series of items the human eye will clearly see periodic patterns and implied lines / alignments very quickly thus I find that often borders are unnecessary and even impede a working design.

A key observation is that with every border you have two white space areas to design with and a foreground element competing for attention with your actual information. Every border you eliminate gains you twice as much whitespace as you had and one fewer foreground element. 3 design components to 1. As with lines of unnecessary code, when you can delete elements in a design you are winning.

> I mean it really shouldn't be up to the United States to bribe DPRK into not pursuing nuclear weapons

The United States also should not be making demands of the DPRK at gunpoint. If some agreement could not be reached, it would have bombed the Yongbyon reactor.

The NNPT is a voluntary agreement - one that its key signatories are arguably in violation of.

> That speech by Bush, foolish as it was, was not given in a void. It was a response to decades of belligerence by the DPRK.

The belligerence was not in a void. The country underwent a devastating war, and was subjected to decades of economic and political marginalisation, with the constant threat of another war hanging over it.

If the United States was less belligirent towards North Korea, they would also have a much easier time dealing with them. This is, of course, not a notion that is even entertained by the Department of State.

Utorrent: JSON-RPC issues resulting in remote code execution, info disclosure
Good points. One thing I would like to emphasize is the issue with clocks not arriving everywhere at the same time. Balancing the clock tree over a chip gets harder and harder.

But the clock setup, hold times also gets shorter and shorter when the clock frequency goes up. The clock signal will have jitter. The end result is that less and less time of the clock edge is usable to sample the signal into the register.

And this in turn put a strain on how well balanced the logic between the registers are. To allow all signals traverse the logic paths through the gates and stabilize in time to be sampled.

To add to the complexity, as we move down the geometries, the difference in performance of different transistors becomes relatively larger. One rason for this is that oxide layers consist of (in average) fewer and fewer molecules. When the layer was made up of 100 molecules, 101 or 102 didn't really make much of a difference. But when the average is 4 molecule one more or less will have a huge impact on the performance.

So controlling variance (clock tree balance, jitter in clock generatiom, imbalances between paths and variance in chip production) becomes ever more problematic and important.

The only advantage to Gboard I've seen is that it's built in. I used to use SwiftKey but eventually switched to Gboard just so I didn't have to keep SwiftKey set up.

I encounter one frustrating problem with Gboard that I never encountered on other keyboards, and I don't know if it's a bug or if I'm "using it wrong". Sometimes I will swipe-gesture a word and the keyboard simply won't recognize it as a gesture. I could be moving my finger all over the place for 5 seconds and it'll just type the last letter I land on. I backspace and do the same thing again and it works.

Am I accidentally making some sort of "out of bounds" gesture without realizing it? Is my phone too slow to start noticing that I'm swiping? Or is this just a random bug?

I have experience on open source projects, and this is the typical open source "limbo" effect.

In general, there are different reasons, depending on the project size, and of course the maintainers' personality.

On small projects, time is limited. As a consequence, maintainers need to generally take decisions (about merging) in short times.

In this case, unless maintainers are very dedicated to expanding the adoption (of developers), or they have very quick decision skills, minor choices will be postponed, possibly indefinitely.

On large (/famous) projects, reasons are different. The context is different; in this other end of the spectrum, there is a flurry of patches, and many low quality ones in absolute quantity.

Maintainers, and volunteers, again can put a limited/minimal amount of effort. Since on a large project no change is easy, the limited amount of effort is frequently spent on iterating the patch until it's completed or almost, paradoxically causing it to "disappear in the sea of irrelevance" at the right moment. Or maybe it's completed, but not the way a maintainer has in mind, and he has no intention to spending further effort.

Of course, those are just factors; I don't imply that all open source projects have [also] these mechanics, but they are frequent reasons why a patch may not be upstreamed even if it's acceptable.

>You don't see the US taking territory..at gunpoint from Mexico

>by and large the US has invaded countries and brought them democracy and freed their people from dictators

Hahaha. I mean really. It's amazing that educated people can be brainwashed to believe this absolute nonsense.

The first of those statements show, I don't know, breathtaking historical ignorance, or something, it's hard to explain otherwise. You don't see it because it already happened, long ago.

The second is the official line heard in the US mainstream media and White House press statements etc. I was brought up believing it too. But it's very far from reality. It's been more usual since the 1890s for democracy, self-determination, refusal to submit obediently to US bullying, standing up to the US, to be the very reasons for invasion. It's thoroughly depressing to learn the history. It's the opposite of what you're told. The US has installed dictators, often military types given a load of US weapons. The US prefers dictators—whatever makes for docile 'stability' and exploitation by US business, and democracy is unpredictable, uncontrollable. Then, disgustingly, the US media is filled with stories of how it was all to bring democracy to a land threatened by communists, terrorists, instability etc. And more bilge about doing God's sacred work on earth etc.

This paper finds that the change in wage distribution in the US over the past 40 years has been more similar to China than France. This implies policy may be playing a large factor.

Totally wrong from the get go. Cells do not use thermal energy to "ratchet" order out of chaos. That would violate the 2nd law of thermodynamics. Cells create order by using energy from an already-ordered source, namely the food you eat. This source is in turn ordered ultimately by exploiting a very high temperature differential, namely between the sun and earth temperatures. Usable energy can be extracted from differentials; it cannot be extracted from a heat bath at one temperature. But since we do have the virtually unlimited energy from the sun, and some other sources, we can lower entropy in a fixed region as much as we like. There is no physics barrier to repairing every single atom of aging damage in a human body.

You're omitting the very strongly shared interests in liberty and democracy, as well as in free trade. There really is little reason for countries that believe in those things not to cooperate - they naturally have each other's best interests in mind.

> the US presence in South America has always been about anti-communism at any cost, ... If the US wants to get started there it should see about bringing peace to Mexico and work downwards.

Again, that was a long time ago. Since the Cold War, almost the entire Western Hemisphere has become peaceful (internationally), democratic, and far more prosperous, lifting hundreds of millions out of extreme poverty.

But what is wealth, and how do you want to share it? It's not a zero sum game. Let's say a billionaire wants to part his ways with $500M. They need to:

1. Sell $500M of shares they are keeping, hence dropping the price of the companies they are invested in. Employees of these companies lose.

2. Give the $500M, but to whom? Can be to "the poor", but what will be generated this way? The people will be better off temporarily (some of them permanently, of course), but the money will randomly radiate away to the whole economy. But you can alternatively give the money by investing in e.g. startups, incubators, hence magnifying the potential success of ideas you believe in, and people who can statistically get things done better that the average person. The side effect is that you'll be probably richer from the new investments.

Money is not a static resource rotated around the world.

- It's a measure of capability/intelligence/luck/circumstances of birth.

- It can be generated out of (generally) 'getting things done'. Two people creating things out of nowhere are both richer.

- It's a magnifying glass you can use to advance ideas you believe in.

- It flows from those who spend it, to those who generate more than spending (so, by definition, are able generate more of it by using it - the statistically "rich")
