The main problem is that dealing with money has all sorts of legal implications for businesses.

By adding cryptocurrency to a communication/identity client, a jurisdiction will probably classify your business as a money transmitter, financial institution, and/or stock broker. After reclassifying your business, they then fine you into the stone age for not registering and following all of the laws associated with that status. While technically, it might be no different than handling money via your bank, the law has not caught up with that yet in quite a few jurisdictions.

Looks like compared to other ddos vectors it isn't that bad, because you can actually shut them down yourself unlike snmp etc...

Any unsecured memcache server will also allow anyone to shut it down remotely.

This problem will disappear in days when people notice their memcache servers randomly shutting down unlike the other ones where you are out of luck if the ISP doesn't look at their abuse inbox ever.
You're absolutely right. Everything we need, in a strictly technical sense, to make wonderfully fast and performant web pages already exists. And has accomplished little, because as you say it's a human problem.

AMP exists because Google figured out a way to make non-technical humans want to be fast and performant. It's a nice carrot to offer people who normally don't care at all about performance.

> 1. They are highly optimized for DOM changes. You can use plain JS or jQuery to manipulate DOM but that would get expensive.

I keep seeing this claim, or similar ones, postulated, but in my extensive experience, using plain JS or JQuery for DOM manipulation has never resulted in noticeably slow performance, even when there was a great deal of DOM manipulation going on.

And if that were the case, I am quite confident in my ability to optimize my own code to make it performant.
How about Actix? From the README at https://github.com/actix/actix-web#example:

}

fn main() {
HttpServer::new(

That's definitely not the case everywhere. In my apartment that was in the attic of a detached home, the landlord certainly tried to repair anything as a first step. In my current apartment building things are replaced or just left broken.

My ovens been broken for over 8 months now and is too expensive to replace so it sits unfixed because they don't even attempt repairs. When the water heater had a problem however it was just replaced immediately.

There's about 200-210 units in the building and I see at least 2 items every week in the trash out of a combination of water heater, fridge, or washer/dryer

The only thing I've actually seen them repair has been the air filters and I think that's only because it takes them 30 seconds to replace

The phrasing of the bill makes me think it would apply to the the Panhandle as well.

I’m not sure if that means bringing the entire state into one time zone or if that means that the Panhandle would just always observe CDT.

10-12, beyond that you're restricting a fully capable mind

In no jurisdiction in the world is 10 considered a fully developed mind.
That seems like a distinction without a difference, though. If the government says, "Between x and y months, all work start and stop times will shift earlier by one hour", it has the same effect as moving the clock itself.

I should rephrase my comment: "That's effectively what DST is"
This may be a more general form of what you're describing: look for small parts of programs (which re-appear often in many programs) which are proven to never terminate; if any of those simple non-executing subprograms are found, the larger program also will never terminate.

All this proves is that people are unwilling to make a value judgement. To most consumers, having the "highest tech choice" is more important than having a repairable device. To really put one's money where their mouth is with repairability, one would have to show that they value repairability even if it comes at the expense of other things they value.

Many historic timezones have 15 minute offsets. In the era before American railroads synchronized timezones to the hours, Louisville, KY, as one example close to home, was often UTC-5:45. (It's GE's fault that Louisville and consequently most of the US I-65 corridor wound up EST rather than CST.) I don't expect to win arguments that the city should return to UTC-5:45, but I make them anyway to amuse myself.

Ha ha, I think we shared the same journey — and realizations.

I wrote some reflections during my last experience:

IMO, the goroutine model has the same synchronization challenges as multithreaded programming. For network code that is io bound, I find async/await much cleaner.
Surely another disadvantage of storing all that redundant data is that either (a) you lose atomicity of updates or (b) have some terrifyingly large transactions for a relatively simple change to the underlying data.

Whether this is acceptable depends not only in the size of the data set but also how often it changes compared to how often you query it.

I found the same. If you live in a very specific use case they excel.

I work with large amounts of geographic data. We use Cassandra and RDBMS as the traditional storage but whenever we want to do network analysis it goes into graph DB just to take advantage of the tooling.

And one of our use cases is exactly what you mention. If you are interested in the properties of the edges of long highways in a road network that can stretch hundreds of edges, for instance, RDBMS ain’t gonna cut it.
> What you're asking is advantages of SPAs over classic web apps.

That's not necessarily true. The OP didn't mention anything about server-side rendering. It's quite possible to build a SPA with the aforementioned stack. (Although personally I think jquery offers a lot of benefits over plain JS for DOM manipulation and event handling.)
Ah yeah I just meant any product built on this. Isn't that link for historical traffic?
No it wouldn't -- users of your applications will still want to see "human" time in different areas, so rather than a (relatively) well defined Timezone standard, you'll need to keep a table of accepted working hours, meal times, etc for each region.

At least now you can tell them that it's 5pm in their selected area so they can decide what that means.
What? No really, time with numbers seems to work just fine.
Check the css for `:active` as the button is being styled for `:active` which doesn't care if the Javascript functionality takes place or not. If you debounce the Javascript to prevent the action from firing multiple times that doesn't stop you from clicking the button and setting it to the `:active` state causing the styles to occur.

Codepen example: https://codepen.io/anon/pen/bvGrKY

Click the button as much as you like - after 200 milliseconds you'll get a single alert but the `:active` style always applies on click.

My org uses mattermost - a logical addition since we were already heavily invested in gitlab.

I don't run the services personally but I know the guys who do, and from what I can tell it mostly Just Works. We use our org's SSO for gitlab, and we use use gitlab auth for mattermost, and all the pieces work together well.

I don't use IRC with mattermost, but there are bridges available.
I'm surprised at comments about the cost of plumber service calls given SF HNers are often programmers commanding 6 figure salaries themselves. Something plumbing and programming have in common is that both are high-demand specializations that most people are not willing/interested in spending their time with. It should be no surprise that these specialists' time isn't cheap.
It's not that it messes up anyone's life terribly. It's a minor inconvenience, but it slightly inconveniences hundreds of millions of people, and that adds up. If everyone is slightly drowsy, and 0.1% of people have slightly slower reflexes and get in a car accident, that is not to say that those people 'need to reconsider their priorities'. That means that the policy hurts that many people, and the society needs to evaluate whether the benefits outweigh that hurt.
> you are unaware of the meaning of the word "agent".

Imagine that! Could it be possible that as a native English speaker, I am entirely unaware that "agent" means something different in general English usage? :-)

Look, AI has a specific coined usage of the term. The outer computer science mis-usage is not derived from the traditional English meanings of agent at all, but rather is very intentionally derived from the AI usage to take advantage of its buzz. I'm sure you can appreciate the difference between coinage and intentional misappropriation.

Yes. That sentence is generally untrue if the context is not specified.

Either the authors made rudimentary error or they specified the context. If you read forward, they define the problem and discuss error and cause controlled regulation.

> Because all PCs ran Windows on top of Intel chips, there was no differentiation, and prices dropped.

Umm, no. PCs ran Windows on top of expensive Intel chips with little competition.

The lack of differentiation caused the prices of much of the other stuff that goes into a PC to drop.

And ironically, that other crap, like network cards and whatever, going into PC's, is differentiated.

That doesn't help because it's not differentiated in a way that the user cares about.

If processors were differentiated they way network cards, keyboards or mice are differentiated, it wouldn't make a difference, except making PC's even cheaper.

This is a vast oversimplification, which only sounds plausible if you pretend that energy production scales linearly with demand. In the real world, if there's a plant producing more than its consumers demand, the reason for the excess capacity is to accommodate spikes and future growth. If you come along and build a BTC mining rig next door, that "future growth" has arrived sooner than expected, forcing the utility to build new capacity years ahead of schedule (presuming it's feasible to build it at all), resulting in significant price increases, their refusal to sell you as much electricity as you want to buy, or both.

The (amortized) cost of building out new supply is a major[0] part of the cost of electricity - this is why most big energy producers spend millions of dollars per year on energy efficiency incentives. Haven't you ever wondered why your power company will give you a $50 rebate on an EnergyStar dishwasher? Isn't it counter-intuitive that they would pay you to buy less energy, when they have excess? It's not because they're tree-huggers - it's because decreasing demand growth delays the day when they need to build a new plant to meet demand, which increases the profitability of the current plant enough to make those incentives cost-effective[1].

0: I can't find a good estimate and it varies by fuel type, but I rememeber an environmental engineer at a former job telling me it was about half. Look up "Levelized Cost of Electricity" for more info.

1: If you're not convinced, instead of demanding more details, I urge you to just stop and ask whether the proposition "There is a lot of excess energy production lying around which BTC miners can soak up without impacting everyone else very much" really passes the sniff test.
If you want to experiment some more, I made this little webgl app [0] that makes it easy to mess with Conway's GoL while it's executing (you hold shift, which pauses the simulation, and click on cells to toggle them on or off). It's easy to 'paint' some basic gliders (e.g. http://images.slideplayer.com/25/8056158/slides/slide_3.jpg), then un-pause and watch them go off for instance. Or just try drawing a vertical or horizontal line of three cells (you get a simple oscillator), then try adding or removing things to it.

There's also a dropdown full of interesting patterns you can load up (with descriptions from mathematicians).

> If none of the companies produce repairable machines that also satisfy other constraints of consumers

Thats the point though. If people actually valued repairability, then they would elevate its importance above other constraints in their purchasing habits.
Except, instead of converting your time to theirs and thinking "oh, that's too late for them". You have to come up with some other conversion. Hmm, it's 9pm for me on the west coast, so 9pm is 9pm late or early for NYC? What is a normal bed time in NYC?

We would basically be replacing standard timezone conversion with some kind of non numeric system of identifying the time of day in a place by comparing it to normal activities. We would be getting rid of timezones and create something like "activity" zones. It would be a nightmare.

If sunlight had no bearing on human activity, and people didn't tend to follow similar patterns, then utc would be fine.

how does that make anything easier or better? Every locality will still have a "morning" designation, so when you schedule a meeting with your coworker across the country, you still need to look up his "morning" time so you don't schedule it before he gets to work.
I don't understand the tweet early in the article. It seems to imply that cities aren't accommodating enough of people with alternative lifestyles? They're more accommodating than anywhere else. Maybe I'm reading what the author meant backwards.

In any case, we are currently working out as a society how to make cities livable as more and more people try to move into the same space, but I don't think bringing up distinctions like straight/gay, liberal/conservative, etc. is very productive.

In B3/S23 Life, there just happened to be small c/4 diagonal, c/2 orthogonal, and c/7 orthogonal spaceships.
The c/7 "loafer" ( http://conwaylife.com/wiki/Loafer ) was only found a few years ago, and was a huge surprise. Seems to be more or less the luck of the draw which velocity vectors happen to have smaller spaceships.
There probably _is_ a knightship somewhat smaller than Sir Robin, but it's harder to find because it's a little wider, so it's still hiding somewhere in a much larger search space.
Seems like a long winded way of saying "We use time to figure out where the sun is".

Obviously, there are many other non-sun-oriented uses of time, most of which are immensely complicated by timezones.

Do you guys have value based property tax, or is it a situation like California with prop 13? I've heard in the UK you just have council tax, which is more about the cost of providing services than the value of the piece of land.

Usually you deal with bad 'land hoarding' with a high enough property tax rate. And if you want to avoid effecting the old and the middle class, you add exemptions for primary residences.
Because daylight has positive effects on most people's wellbeing?
The problem is that in parts of the Northeast, permanent EST would have significant deficiencies in the summer while permanent EST-1 would have significant deficiencies in the winter.

Permanent EST: As it is, the sun rises in Boston before 5:30 AM from May 9-July 25, 2.5 months. With permanent EST, the sun would rise before 4:30 AM for those 2.5 months. People would much rather have that sunlight later in the day when they can enjoy it after work, etc.

Permanent EST-1: As it is, the sun rises in Boston after 7 AM from Dec 7-Jan 30. With permanent EST-1, the sun would rise after 8 for those ~2 months. This would be a real danger for kids walking to school. Shifting the school day isn't straightforward because of parents work schedules, etc.

The response to these is inevitably that we could shift our lives around to adjust to a permanent EST or EST-1, but such shifts would be much more disruptive than people think. It's easy to make a change like this in a southern state -- less so the further north you go.
Erm, unless this is in some way not a 3D curve, it is trivial to plot it in 3D and show a 2D projection of it on a screen. I don't know how you could disagree with that.

Edit: Apparently it is a surface. Someone posted a link below https://www.desmos.com/calculator/4qu7gezqmx

Still not exactly difficult to plot - you probably need some transparency to be able to see it though.
The law is (as is not entirely uncommon in State laws) explicitly conditioned on a change in federal law allowing permanent DST.

Of course, since States do have the authority permanently opt-out of DST and which base zone states used is a matter of federal-state consultation, the usual method suggested for a state to go on "permanent DST" is to opt out of DST, but move one zone East (so for Florida, instead of Central/Eastern, use Eastern/Atlantic.)
Thanks, I agree, maybe like a "pull request" that can be accepted / validated by the owner
This is the exact problem it would solve, once "everyone" had actually switched.
Don’t know why you are getting downvoted for this. Two of my favourite days of the year are when we change the clocks, there is suddenly a shift in what the world looks like at certain times of day and throw things into a different perspective. Permenant DST makes the most sense out of the two options but I like the shift enough that I’d prefer the model we have - I think people’s negativity towards it is due to a dislike of change and a lack of understanding on its origins, it’s sad that the chap who first proposed it didn’t get to see it implemented.
Deepest condolences, Matt. If you need a rock to lean on I'm here for you.
It sounds like a decent idea on the surface but then times would be meaningless. Right now a time "means" the same thing everywhere. When we ask "what time is it in Japan?" we understand the answer. We understand when its "noon" in Japan, we know whereabouts in the day it is and what we can expect people to normally be doing, ex, eating lunch. If it's 3am in Japan we know its not a great time to call beyond emergencies.

If you're in the East Coast US and its 5am and at the same time its also 5am in Japan, but they mean different things, you no longer "understand" what time it is in Japan. You don't really have much of a way of answering "is it a good time to call someone in Japan?" - You have to figure out a way to "translate" from your time to theirs. It would be very, very confusing. So in the end you'd end up re-inventing time zones.

It only works if nobody knows anything about other parts of the world.
