What they /probably/ mean is that VISA set a higher charge level for cryptocurrency exchanges than for other vendors.

Since the charges imposed by VISA are intimately related to the level of fraud they expect to see from a given vendor & the cryptocurrency space is stuffed to the brim with fraudsters and con artists this ought to be entirely unsurprising.

No cryptic (hah!) conspiracy theory required.
There is also a vocal segment of racists, homophobes, sexists and people who want to impose their religious beliefs on America that mostly lean Republican. But no one here is arguing about policy changes based on that.
Oh my goodness "Wide faces as a proxy for testosterone levels" Nice! I'm sure sock colors would work as a predictor of investment success just as well. What trash. The Economist is a thinly veiled pseudoscience brochure these past few years. Maybe it's always been that way and I'm just now noticing, but I used to find value in their articles and not just pseudoscientific trash.
Also I am told the proprietary nvidia drivers have a software lock that prevents you from using GPU passthrough unless you buy certain more expensive models.
Is it depressing or is it a kind of signal we should listen to and try to interpret ?
Brainfart ahead: The way the united states are out of hand lately would kind of get me to no longer rule out the possibility that they might be drilling across the border for whatever they might find?
The tragedy of Peak Oil movement is its inability to capture collective imagination. Engineering devoted to efficiency faces reduced returns on effort. Let us look at aviation, past certain limit you are restricted by physics and cannot make more efficient airplanes.
These enineering efforts can buy civilisation some time for a search of an alternative. And it comes with a cost of putting productive engineering workforce away from searching long-term alternative.

All-in-all problem is far from being solved.
By far, the most damaging malicious media influence has been done by the state. People over-investing on crypto is a petty squabble to the misdemeanors of the institution that controls the entire money supply of the country
Even reddit has its moments. For that matter, so do even YouTube comments.

It depends a lot on the subreddit (they're essentially different websites), and of course the people. You can often find the great Walter Bright himself answering questions on D, for instance - https://www.reddit.com/user/WalterBright
Then please abolish the upvote too. Because it too most often means "I agree".
What you propose is a bad solution because it breaks symmetry.
If people are upvoting because they agree (and if you agree you tend to think about the comment like it brings value), they should be able to downvote because they disagree.
Overzealous moderation and self-censorship already makes HN too sterile place to be cozy. And similar to too sterile environments in real life it has a potential to weakening your immune system and cause auto-immune diseases.
The fundamentals of crypto may be solid but the sheer amount of mis/dis info on the subject and multiple scams/hacks associated with them present a similar situation to the public at large as pyramid schemes & MLM.

They may be different on a basic level but the presentation to the general population present the same risks:
lack of transparency and unclear financial risks involved.
Yeah, the whole tribe or pack of wolves operates together. True alphas don't actually assert their dominance, and you are correct that our naive interpretations of these letters and their cardinality are quite faulty. Not sure why people voted you down.
Technically it's not necessarily tricky to establish corroboration, it's just that you don't speak Polish.

It's a problem with you, not the article. Your assumption of propaganda is just speculation.
Yes to me it doesn't any more realistic than Bob Lazar's story that he quotes, just more convoluted.

My understanding of a warp drive (Alcubierre drive) is that it contracts space in front of the ship while expanding space behind it. I don't understand how increasing a gravitational field locally is meant to achieve any of that.
What people do when a website that goes popular on HN or Reddit is too slow or can't respond at all? Someone on the comments links to Google Cache and more often than not this js-less basic HTML snapshot is good enough.

AMP is just a way to do this properly and automatically. The Webdev community chooses to ignore the speed of the content delivery and Google seized the opportunity.

What can a modern webpage do for the user that 2008 webpage can't? For most of the web, the answer is nothing, all the improvements are about better tooling for the management(measure and monetize) of the webpage.
No, you can't.

You can uses CSS as part of a keylogger in conjunction with Javascript that triggers your selectors based on keypresses.

There are sites that already ship javascript that change attributes that trigger selectors on certain keypress events. So by adding 'pure css' to these sites one would be able to log keystrokes on certain fields.

One example is Instagram. It ships Javascript that changes suitable attributes of the password field on every keystroke. So adding the right CSS to Instagram could result in passwords being logged.
Sure, but as a cyclist, you frequently have the ability to just slip by without obstructing anybody.
that's not how "media war" is played...
the other side is already spending zillions to sell their ponzi-schemes... by secretly paying influencers
I agree that this thought could be presented better. On the other hand it is the first time that I see an important long-term idea came to the top of Hacker News. (Not staying long though.)
Right, but it's misleading to say "Python has static typing", because while an implementation of static typing in Python exists, the vast majority of the Python ecosystem doesn't use it.
The "free download" button sends me a zip file of the image used on the modal popup, not the actual application. I'm using Firefox.
A few attempts have already been done, the issue is with developer adoption, not lack of trying.

One of the best examples was StarLisp for the Connection Machine.
i installed it now (v0.31.8) via pip on centos7 with python 3.6. Switching to a notebook tab takes about two seconds (notebook has 45 python code cells), saving a texteditor with python code in it takes about 1 second. Chrome Version 63.0.3239.132 on macosx (15" macbook pro). "regular" jupyter notebook is instant on both things.

Until we have another material that could replace silicon. Not sure if we will see this happen in the next ten to twenty years.
Actually, in India, WhatsApp just received a payments option that uses India's UPI[0] for exchanging money. So I guess payment is something that facebook is interested in.

You educate people. Using shady propaganda is not the way to fight "scams".
I wish it were more true. Commuting between Hayward and San Francisco, I got to see lots and lots of advertising, mostly government propaganda. It fell into two categories:

1. "Instead of killing yourself, why not call a suicide hotline?" I guess BART tracks see elevated levels of suicide. I don't really have much of a problem with this one.

2. "If you let your infant sleep in the bed with you, you are a bad parent." I have a problem with this. What a disgusting thing for the government to be doing.
It is the same in Germany.
Does anyone else feel like they're an impostor? Or is it just me and Mike Myers?
You're an impostor.

You had a good idea one day. Your good idea turned into a great product. Slowly but surely, you gained customers who paid for your product. Then you started employing people. People who looked up to you, trusted you, followed you. You're successful - both the business and you personally.

And yet, there's still that little voice in your head...

You're an impostor. You don't know what you're doing. Everyone's going to realise you have no idea what you're doing and it's all going to fall apart.

Someone I admire a lot recently said to me, "I have great respect for what you have done as an entrepreneur". I winced. And felt slightly less of him. How could someone that smart not see through me?

Jason Cohen (Founder, WPEngine & Smart Bear) is familiar with these thoughts. Hell, everyone is familiar with these thoughts. If Mike Myers thinks he's not funny enough for SNL, then Lord help the rest of us. It's not an unusual feeling but when you've founded, built and sold four successful companies and your latest creation has reached $100 million revenue and just received a $250 million private equity investment, you might be considered a 'success'. So why do founders like this still often feel like impostors?

I'm hosting a Q&A session with Jason at 12.00 EST on 22nd February about overcoming impostor syndrome and founder doubt. Hopefully it'll be helpful - even if you can't join live, sign up and I'll send you the replay.

Congress Raise Issue on Priyanka Chopra Dress
Indeed. The author of the article seems to be implying certain things without any evidence. Most people in Poland dabbling in crypto are very well aware of information in English and use exchanges and websites that are in English anyway, so not sure where that article conclusion came from...
As a DevOps profesional in 2018, which tools/techs should I be familiar with?
They fail to mention that dividing instructions into more pipeline stages means greater branch penalty which in turn prompts reckless speculative execution schemes to compensate.

I think you're definitely right in your observations, it is so much easier to kids to make friends, because they're still so open and malleable, and not set in their ways yet.

>You form your first friendships really early on with an extremely strong commonality - the hugeness of the world and your lack of information about it. Literally everything is in common with your peers circa age 2-4 because nothing is established yet. If it weren't for how our society has a habit of breaking these kids up constantly throughout their childhoods I would think those relationships would form the most iron clad friendships you can get if they survive to adulthood. Too bad about 90% of the kids you meet in daycare you never see again after you start school.

This is exactly my experience as well. My best friend and I originally met before we can even remember, we must have been 3 or 4 years old. There are pictures of us running around in pajamas and bowler hats, play fighting with plastic pirate swords, stuff that I can't really remember now.

We actually didn't really get to see each other more than once or twice a year, because we lived so far apart, so I guess we bonded even more intensely for the couple of weeks we had every summer. We lost touch around the 6th or 7th grade, and didn't really see each other for 10 years or so, apart from sporadic chats on Facebook and such.

But we finally got back together in 2014, and it was almost as if no time had passed. We had burgers and a few beers, and talked for 6 hours straight. Completely separately from each other, we've both become huge metalheads, so now we go to concerts and festivals all the time, and he invited me to join his music quiz team. We're annual champions for three years running now, and the guys have become my closest friends.

They've also gotten me into pen'n'paper roleplaying games, and introduced me to further new friends through that.

It is definitely harder to make friends as you get older, you have to hit just the right shared interests to make it work.
> this reads like "you can embed and call impure code inside pure code while the pure code stay pure"

I think that's a fair summary yes. Monads let you define exactly what you need to do around the impure code to make it safe, and enforce that it's never used in a way that could "infect" the pure code around it.
> It just needs restraint and better web development with existing standard technologies, and ideally a strong taboo on bloated web-sites.

Restraint can't appear out of nowhere, especially when bloating the website frequently works - more ad revenue, more information about existing visitors and potential new customers.

These needs won't just disappear, so yes, the problem needs a technical solution.
As a python aficionado, I am really concerned that Python might eventually become the new Perl. Golang has pretty much replaced python for most of infra level projects.

1. Python needs to get JIT support (interfaces to dynamically JIT), beyond PyPy.

2. Type Safety.
Type hinting is a good start. I love the direction projects like mypy is going. Allow programmers to mention types for functions which can be then JITed.
> I really miss lane guidance, for instance

Can I ask why? Having driven in both the US and europe and used GMaps in both places, I've found the lane guidance to be borderline useless. For the most part, lanes are intuitive (turning right - right lane), and when they're not, Google often gets them wrong.
The Rise of Anti-Liberalism
So because currency x can be used for financial scams we declare the currency itself a scam? Do ponzi schemes in Euros make the Euro a joke?
While Rust doesn't promote a specific model for parallelism, it's stronger compiler helps a lot with that.

https://doc.rust-lang.org/beta/nomicon/concurrency.html

https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/second-edition/ch16-01-thread...

I don't think fixing C(++) can give what Rust can give, because Rust has a clean start with these strong guarantees built-in while for C(++) it would always be an addon. Defaults are powerful.
If you're a customer sending anything besides mailed cash or cryptocurrencies for any private service, it has the potential to not be private one day.
> If you want an analogy with computer code: it’s most like a spaghetti-code hair ball of assembly coding it’s own compiler, IDE, vim, a few games, and a neural network ten magnitudes the size of anything tensorflow can do. It does it all on hardware that works only probabilistically. And it is constantly starved for resources, leading to hacks such as DNA sequences that code for two completely different functioning proteins depending on reading it either forward or backward, or starting to read at an offset (what’s called a “reading frame”).

Not only that, but it's also (quite literally) radiation hardened: the genome has evolved to a state where most changes to the DNA do very little. Or, if the environment is changing frequently, it'll have evolved to a place in the genome space where it has a higher chance to obtain more beneficial mutations (for more info on this sort of stuff, look up articles by Hogeweg, Colizzi or Crombach).

As a computational biologist, I can tell you that evolution works in many ways, but most likely not in the way you'd expect it to.
Does anyone know how this interacts with form auto-filling?
Honestly sounds a lot like he doesn’t regret doing it. He regrets that others are following his example. As for his business it completely sounds like he’s knowingly selling these kits to people who inject themselves but is trying to use the “for educational usage” as a legal cover.

CRISPR has great potential but it’s in everyones best interest if people and companies like this are shut down.
Clinical studies take time for a reason. The PR announcements of “we discovered a cure for X” come out when drugs have only been tested in mice and rats. There’s a reason we spend 5-10 Years after that before a viable drug hits the market. No one is interested in slowing down entry to market. But these jackasses aren’t innovating or helping anyone by simply skipping all testing and “crowd sourcing” the clinical trials without any legal or moral responsibility.
Microsoft has developed Parallel Linq which is a subset of .net framework and works like a charm.
Graphene. The material of the future.
Even though SaaS model has matured, and many SaaS are created by software developers (who are familiar with open source), I have not found a "Bootstrap for SaaS projections/financial modeling", probably in the form of shared Google Spreadsheet.

Right coz Ponzi schemes never happen with fiat currencies? Again, the level of ignorance here is just beyond belief.
Stop-start is not sufficient to satisfy the criteria. This is now mentioned explicitly in the law.
UTorrent bugs let websites control your computer and steal your downloads
Sigh, why can't we have technology to already embed a microchip in the brain that would modulate the electrical impulses in the visual cortex to display ads in your visual system directly.

Oh and you absolutely need to accompany that with a rectum insertable GPS tracker that will become standard goverment issue and mandatory same way was biometric passports.
At first i took the article into consideration- but then i found a photo of the author and measured the chin to brow distance- and it turns out he is a chronicle liar.
Absence makes the heart grow fonder.

Great friends don't need to talk constantly to remain close friends. For various reasons, I lost contact with my best childhood friend for a while. It was 10 years, but it felt like nothing, we instantly clicked again.

Does google not already do this? I drove in the US for the first time a month ago, and GMaps regularly had us take 3 rights and add 3 miles on to save us taking a left turn (which I ignored once I figured out what was going on)

It took a long time for me as well. Kickboxing/crossfit didn't work. Volunteering at a local historic motor racing event every summer since 2010 didn't work (I like the guys, but they're acquaintances, not friends). It wasn't until I got hardcore into going to metal/rock concerts and festivals, and got into pen'n'paper roleplaying that it finally clicked for me, and I started making friends again.

How did you suggest it?

I can see "hey, let's hang out" in the generic form might be considered a bit odd and like a pass.

"Man, today was rough." ... "Yeah, same here. Want to grab a drink at the Kings Head this evening?"

I don't know anyone who would interpret the latter form as a pass. Because there's some justification, no matter how thin, and it's a concrete proposal to do something specific.
Running a trained net is, if you only have to do a single iteration. It's a complex formula, but it is a closed form one.
Not OP but limit cars sold in a country to whatever the speed on the freeway is. e.g. in the UK, all cars registered here must have limiters fitted to stop it exceeding 70mph.
Restraint can't appear out of nowhere, especially when bloating the website frequently works - more ad revenue, more information about existing visitors and potential new customers.

Rather than pushing for AMP, Google, Bing, etc. could just penalize websites (more heavily) for size in search rankings.
Interesting to see non EU companies attempts at trying to avoid GDPR. Not sure how valid or safe it will be and seems like a lot of companies/people are afraid of GDPR due to not understanding it.

> As long as the languages operate on the same virtual computer (same IO capacities), you can create the same semantics on any language. At the worst case, you can write an interpreter for any language on any other language.

This is fairly tautological and would make semantics meaningless. I'm not talking about the universality of Turing-complete languages, but about the semantics of language constructs.

> Most high-level languages got some influence by Lisp-style functional programing, so they transform into function reduction/composition with some amount of naturality. The imperative languages are the ones with the less straight-forward transformation, while Lisp is basically alone at the other extreme.

This has nothing to do with what I said, so I'm not sure what your point is?
Probably not at all. It's absolutely easy to not be subject to that: Pay all your dues as required by law and don't distribute copyrighted content you have no license to.
> Even if you used ebtables to filter out containers talking to each others' MAC addresses, wouldn't they be able to send broadcast or multicast packets to communicate with each other?

ebtables supports «broadcast» as a destination to match ethernet frames on.

ebtables … -d broadcast

which is equivalent to

ebtables … -d ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff/ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
Presumably if you had time to accelerate to 120mph, you had time to slow down instead?
Seastar framework
Great, now I have to clean all that tea off of my display. ;-P
Closed form just means you can do it in a finite number of operations. So just "run X" rather than the previous versions of this kind of thing which are "repeat X until measure Y is lower than the limit I care about". (my basic understanding)
That's just Haskell's crazy evaluation semantics though, not something that applies to monads in general.
Yes, such studies do occur and they do show bias against white men.

Typically these are studies that are trying to find bias against women, by anonymising hiring processes. Replacing names on CVs, even voice masking. What they discover instead is that anonymising hiring makes outcomes better for men not women, and then the studies and the anonymisation is canned.

Like here:

http://blog.interviewing.io/we-built-voice-modulation-to-mas...

But there are others. There were some studies in Australia on this. You can search for them quite easily.
