They have been working on this since 2015 and did a trial run under the name GrantCoin. (Which as far as I know went smoothly) While it is a huge undertaking and even if this project fails, it would be interesting to see more robust CryptoUBI projects rise up from the ashes.
Not sure myself... It looks like the latest release (0.74) was nearly eight years ago. That's not to say that it isn't an extremely useful and well-made tool, and perhaps doesn't really need a whole lot of updating.
Apparently the guy took an entire year's sabbatical just to work on this tool. Pretty impressive stuff.
Rationals are not generally useful for scientific computation because eventually you need to start invoking the relatively costly euclidean algorithm to do basic operations, the compute time is no longer constant. Also lots of operations take square roots anyways, so you wind up in trouble that way.

Costs are going to be a bit squishy but you're right that Uber has a pretty good handle on mileage, time, money paid out, etc. One suspects that if the average driver is making $25+/hr. after reasonable expense assumptions, we'd have heard about it loud and long.

My suspicion with some back of the envelope calculations is that it probably ends up somewhere in the minimum wage range most of the time. Especially at the higher end of that range, it sort of makes sense. Assuming at least a reasonable percentage of drivers have some rational handle on what they make and their real costs, that's about where you'd logically expect pay to need to end up.

To be clear, I'm sure some drivers don't really understand their costs or know that they're effectively borrowing from their future self who will have to pay maintenance bills--and feel they don't have an option. But it's a bit hard believing it's near universal behavior.
Currently I'm trying to think of a way to get my father to read this without overtly telling him he needs to read this. Because that would be being a crank.
I think it would be worthwhile for HN to come up with some sort of rule or strong guideline at least that says if you are going to post a Show HN item, you should pop in and answer questions in a timely manner. There are many great questions here going unanswered 18 hours later so far.

ObML: It would be nice if the tutorial covered categories that aren't already in the standard big generic models. For example, instead of dog and cat, use something new that doesn't exist in the model, and show how to train for that.

Also as feedback, the terminology "submit your images" clashes with the statement that data doesn't leave your own system. Does the latter statement mean "in normal use after training is completed"? As opposed to during training, where the images do leave your system? There is wiggle room for either meaning here, so more clarity would be helpful.
The reply in the uber blog is less "angry tweet" than "good peer review": it points to a very specific methodological weakness which has bearing on the final conclusions.

Actually, in California, property taxes make up only 14% of the average municipality's revenue, and 22% of the average county's revenue.[1]

But yes, I'll concede that Google probably does pay a share of the taxes required to pay for these services, though I doubt it is a share proportionate to its actual profits generated in the Bay area, since their tax accounting tricks are so sophisticated.

It sounds like there's some crossover here between this project and the Debian copyright file (https://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/copyright-forma...).

Specifically, the Debian copyright file provides full annotation about what parts of a package are licensed under what and by who. It only indicates licenses -- it's up to the end users to determine what those mean -- but it is machine readable.

The names of the licenses themselves are part of a list of names called SPDX that's used across distributions and is developed by the Linux Foundation.

Very good point. If the car industry was really aiming for the benefits of transport without the need for a human at the wheel they could invest in rail transport, a technology that we already know works just fine. But of course the car industry makes... cars. So the only thing they really care about is in selling cars. Therefore, they instead invest in developing a new technology that may take years to be as beneficial as rail transport. And that will probably never be as beneficial as rail transport in many important ways, including very notably its impact on the environment and safety.
At $100/hr a week's travel by plane is $16,800 in rental fees. That's about two orders of magnitude more than a car rental (in my market). The price of used aircraft suggest that the demand for aircraft is high. Framing availability in terms of "need" is irrelevant when talking about supply and demand. Few people need a 4x4 pickup, Tesla, or Lexus.

Flying as a hobby reflects the "the sky as a highway for sports cars" restrictions not the demand. Even as a hobby the number of recreational boats suggests that there may be an order of magnitude of unmet hobbyist interest. This is not to mention that the costs prevent practical use of private aircraft for practical transportation (the cheap car analogy).

Looks like the picky eater issue runs a bit deeper for you if you take such offense. I am a picky eater who has taken to eating many newer foods the past 5 years. It truly is as trivial as just doing it. You may gag at some stuff but as with everything in life, if you don't even try to push through it then what can you expect.
Being fixed-pitch isn't the only thing that makes autorotation on these impossible.

Rotor system inertia is incredibly important in autorotation, and this fact will pretty much make autorotation in quad+-rotor aircraft a no-go.

The only option here is a ballistic parachute / BRS, and personally that's not a system I'd stake my life on.
Not to forget that you will use a lot more hot water hand washing than a typical front loader uses.

I bet bigger drones will be automated and regulated tightly. It's one thing that cars crash all the time but when flying vehicles crash they fall on other people. If that happens a few times people will call for rules.
The original paper actually used a value of $0.30/mile for vehicle cost. This squares pretty well with renting a car from Hertz intended for this purpose (about $200/wk unlimited mileage/insurance) and adding about $0.10/mile for gas.

(Obviously Hertz can buy and maintain cars for less than an individual. On the other hand, they need to make a profit on the rental.)
Hi mneil,

Thanks for the suggestion,

a.Cassandra
I don't think Cassandra is good option in this as well since it's by natural is AP database (designed for high availability)

b. HDFS
I wonder for keeping the strong consistency I should use other database on top of hadoop maybe like bigtable/Hbase since they are designed for CP database. Maybe you know the data consistency model in HBase or Bigtable?

c. Maybe GoogleCloud Spanner or CockcroachDB?

Clean meat is neat, and it becoming mainstream over the next 2 decades is probably inevitable. But how healthy will it be? Will it be healthier than most meat sold in stores right now? Healthier than "grass-fed organic meat" even?

It seems like most GMO foods right now are going in the opposite direction, in an effort to increase quantity/$, while losing nutrients/$. I hope clean meat won't take the same direction.

Are there any experiments in which they give clean meat to lab rats?

I think cost per mwh has been improving for wind not by reducing infrustructure construction costs, but by increasing the amount of power a given installation generates. If the generator/turbine is twice as efficient then the cost is halved...
Interesting. I wonder if 50c/km includes gas or it is just car depreciation alone. Because here in Moscow, Russia it's very close to what you usually pay when you use Uber, no surge premium.

If that's real cost, it means that all Moscow drivers are engaged in money losing operation, and it's obviously not the case

Oddly enough, I've had the chance to briefly drive a trolleybus, and while it doesn't accelerate quite like a Tesla, it's still surprisingly quick off the line, for a multi-ton vehicle. All that torque is available from a standstill.
A German court has no authority to compel a US company to block a subset of IP addresses though. If they want to enforce domestic policy they only have the right to force domestic companies to perform the block (i.e, by requiring that all German ISPs block access to the site).

A website would need to comply with German laws iff they have operations in Germany.
It has auto-updates built in, not sure about where they're hosted, though. Still probably more trustworthy (and up to date) than the stock OnePlus Android builds that my phone includes by default (OP3).

According to the whitepaper, the vast majority of existing monetary base is held by the founders and close associates:

-19% directly by the founders

-36% donated to Mannabase, a company directly controlled by their foundation

-17% paid to "dozens" of developers and technical staff

Another 9% was mined into circulation, and there is a strong probability that the early miners and the founders are one and the same. A grand total of 6% was given away as UBI but they promise to give more away by a complex process that seems very centralized.

It's essentially a UBI-branded premine: if you make us filthy rich we promise to make the world a better place. Certainly a splash of color in a crypto space that seems to be dominated by those who exploit more basic human impulses.
No, I'm working from the Underground Meat Collective's Open Source HACCP plan. If you've ever visited Underground in Madison, you know they're not "meat propagandists" (well, not that kind of meat propagandist; they're definitely pro-meat). They worked with the University of Wisconsin to build a commercial-grade HACCP plan for their charcuterie program and then, unlike any commercial meat processor, publish it to the world.

You can look it up online --- in fact, you can use it as a HACCP plan for your own cured meat enterprise if you want, which is amazing --- and see where and why it requires nitrites.

I absolutely trust these people more than I trust a random British food writer who says hot dogs give people brain cancer.

“People have completely forgotten that in 1972 we had over nineteen hundred domestic bombings in the United States. ” — Max Noel, FBI (ret.)

https://status451.com/2017/01/20/days-of-rage/

"The 1970s underground wasn’t small. It was hundreds of people becoming urban guerrillas. Bombing buildings: the Pentagon, the Capitol, courthouses, restaurants, corporations. Robbing banks. Assassinating police. People really thought that revolution was imminent, and thought violence would bring it about."
> What social media has done is ensure you hear more from groups that previously didn’t get a voice.

And that's the important thing. They have a huge voice now, given the loudest and most repetitive people get way more presence, and how social networks are malleable to bots. Saying this existed decades ago is like comparing nuclear weapons to arrows and bows and saying lethal weapons existed since time immemorial.

Surely this is quite a minor feature. I think it's unlikely that it helped their popularity "a ton".
> It'd require some impressive mental gymnastics to consider hand-washing cheaper than a washing machine. The societal changes (improvements) that washing machines brought are immense, and fairly well documented.

I can't help but think some people just have no experience living without. When I had my dishwasher installed a few years ago, after a decade of living without one, the plumber made a conversational comment about how they were a lot of trouble, he thought that when his broke, he might not replace it. My wife responded "How about you ask your wife about that." I'm sure this guy, nice as he was, simply didn't wash dishes. He really had no idea what doing it by hand meant, nor would he have if his dishwasher broke.

That's to my point (my opinion): small, tightly curated social networks will produce radically superior outcomes in terms of product experience. You can accomplish that on a platform with a billion users, however the connection counts have to be relatively small compared to what's common on eg Facebook today.

Those 400 or 1,000 fake friend lists, are at the core of why people have a bad experience on Facebook: nobody really has a hundred friends. Facebook's drive for hyper connectivity, doomed their product to suck.

Large, hyper connected networks will always end up being mediocre or worse experiences. With that experience sinking as they grow toward saturation, and assuming hyper connectivity amongst the users on the platform.

Ask HN: Move to product management at 35?
Hi all,

I need some advice from all the wonderful people on Hacker News. I am a Backend engineer looking to move into a product management role. I have no experience in product management. In addition, I am 35. Does age matter? Are certifications such as the one from Product School worth it and help in the transition process? How do engineers typically transition to the role? I’d appreciate any advice from anyone.
Thank you.
Thanks for the answer. Since you're also the creator of Redux, how do you see this suspense feature work together with something like Redux?

I imagine that Redux can continue to be used as before, but instead of using middlewares (redux-thunk) for async things, we'd use suspense instead?
I have my preorder in for a Librem 5 and I kind of hope they just give up trying to compete with the likes of Apple and Samsung on making a super slim form factor. I don't know how much it simplifies the mechanical design but I'd love a phone that just throws a huge battery in even if it's twice as thick as an S9.

My last Samsung phone ended up being more than twice as thick anyway due to needing a Mophie external battery case just to make it through a full day of ordinary use. My ideal is a phone with a huge battery and sturdy enough not to need a protective case, if that makes it 16mm+ thick I'm absolutely fine with that.

Ask HN: What should you do when you have an idea but no money to fund it?
I and a few friends had an idea recently that most probably won't change the world but, if executed properly, can help people and small businesses in smaller towns compete with the bigger names. Problem is as we started working on this idea, we realized we will need a considerable amount of money (maybe not a lot by Western standards, but a lot to us) to get even a working prototype that people can just use. Most of us are barely adults, not industry veterans, so no one would fund us without a working prototype, we don't have the capacity to fund it ourselves. What should we do in such a case? Shelf the idea, come back sometime later when we can afford?
So the consumer is paying twice? Through taxes and then again when they actually purchase the power? Wow...
$70,000 is about the price of a new four cylinder Lycoming O-320 engine for a Cessna 172 (traditionally among the least expensive production aircraft). Airframe, avionics, and installation not included. The alternative to a Lexus is a pile of metal on a pallet not an aircraft.

The high price of the O-320 engine reflects FAA regulations that require the use of a Lycoming O-320 in every Cessna 172...and actually a specific version of the O-320 engine for each minor variant of the Cessna 172. There's no second source for Cessna 172 engines by regulation...by regulation there's no second source for engine parts either. The supply is restricted.

Light sport aircraft are by regulation impractical as ordinary transportation. The allowable gross weight and one passenger restrictions insure that. It's like arguing that a YZ250 is a reasonable alternative to a Civic.

Look around your female friends: how many of them haven't "fallen" into vocational/traditional roles, being bankrolled by their husband?

Unlike you, how many of them 'failed' to plan a lucrative career, who conveniently married a husband who didn't fail to plan? Or does the number of women outearning their SOs in your social group approach 50%?

I'd wager the attitudes about men's and their resources that you state to abhor, are quietly shared by a lot more of your female friends than you care to accept, to a greater or lesser extent.
