I think the concept of accredited investor needs to go away though. Why should only the super rich be able to invest in risky ventures? Why do I see so many on the left supporting these regulations that only favour the super rich? I'm not just talking about crypto-currencies but any venture really, since the internet at least, anyone with an internet connection should be free to invest as they want. I'm personally not into ICOs or gambling in general but if that's your thing you should be able to do so.
Seems like there would be demand for a font format that allows character modifiers to dynamically be applied to characters. This would allow the language to be represented digitally similarly to how it's taught in the real world, rather than as thousands of unique Unicode characters.

That's where I think Bloom's can step in. Memorization is the first step, but then its about recalling and applying the mental model. As you traverse the levels, you eventually reach things like problem-solving and evaluating.

Ebbinghaus discusses spaced repetition, but I wonder if spaced repetition in conjunction with Bloom's taxonomy is a better approach for higher level learning than JUST spaced memorization.
I always wonder about what things are not shown in the news at all or are seen as so minor as to not warrant an 'agenda' with significant coverage. I remember that I am not the one deciding what is important to show in media, someone else is. I don't like the idea of someone else training my mind on what I should be paying attention to and what should be important to me.
That's a fine wording if the setting calls for such a tone, but is it not the same tone as the original. Your sentence is too formal for many settings. Occasionally, it would be correct for HN, but HN trends towards a more informal yet educated tone. Used in the wrong setting, it just seems at best wordy or at worst like you are trying to prove you are smarter than the other.

It is difficult to replace such an intensifier as "fucking" without simply using a common replacement (bloody, for example). The most neutral I could come up with is something akin to "counfoudedly", and naturally one would do away with the word "very". Another simply worded option would be to repeat the word "very" once or twice more. I'm more likely to use the latter in some spheres online or with my mother or in an English speaking workplace, especially in the US. (Norwegians seem a bit freer with expletives, especially the English word "fuck").
The contrarian right has no answers, only cynical observations. If they were more transparent about this they would be dismissed as sadists but they keep their cards close to their chest and allow for the occasional sympathetic portrait to drip out.

What does Peter Thiel love? Want? I'll never know. He's just another rich guy jet setting between NY and LA now. My guess is he spends some time advocating for impractically expensive cross continent transit and fades into the noise of wealthy-but-not-wealthiest elite. Maybe he'll become interested in those green grids he spends so much time flying over and does something in a midsized American city - probably healthcare related given the demographics.

If you view trade as just another production technology, it's pretty easy to see that foreign goods being cheaper is isomorphic to an improvement in technology, and therefore presumably good for overall welfare.

Foreign governments could be harder to predict than "nonsentient variables", but if you think financial markets are better at prediction than governments (which is roughly the premise of the original comment) there's still no reason to think they aren't the best available solution to this difficult problem.

Mmm, I would recommend not marinating on that for too long. Sure there are socially acceptable ideas of how one should live one’s life, and we may find those undesirable in different ways. And I have my own justifications for not wanting to socialize too, along somewhat similar lines. But I notice that it usually feels good to do something social that I was originally disinclined to do. So, I try to push back against that default for myself. “Don’t believe everything you think”, as they say.

When socializing doesn’t go as you’d hoped, there are two things you can do: socialize with different people/in different circumstances, or stop socializing. One of them is easier to accomplish than the other, you know. And I think we should be suspicious of our motives whenever we choose the easier way, particularly when we've already ginned up a justification for it.
​GitHub makes open-source project licensing easier with an open-source program
I regularly watch Netflix on mine and I can get about 3 hours with 90% charge and then have some left over for other stuff.

Maybe it's because I only have about 20 non-Google apps installed, of which are 3 web browsers, 2 are chat apps, 2 CardDAV and CalDAV apps, a better calendar, and Spotify, Netflix, Twitch, and Amazon Video. All Google apps except Maps, YouTube, Calendar, Messages, Camera, and Phone got deactivated. If anything looks like it's using a resource hungry background service it doesn't need, it simply gets uninstalled.

What I did from the beginning to keep the battery in a good shape was to never load over night to 100%. I plug in my phone before showering and eating breakfast in the morning and this loads it up to 90%. But I don't plan my day around charging my phone, even when it sounds like it - when my phone needs charging, I charge it.

One thing I also did, that might impact battery performance: I deactivated animations entirely. They are unnecessary and keep me waiting for things I could do a lot faster. As a side-effect some loading spinners aren't animated anymore and show a static circle shaped arrow but that's okay for me.

The problem is that you need a decentralized SEC, that somehow obviates the existing SEC, and all other similar government-empowered agencies all around the world. Good luck with that. You've got a long road to hoe just to convince people that's a good idea; it certainly isn't obvious to me. Without that power inevitably just collapses back to the central authority for all kinds of reasons. (Many of which are the reason why the stable solution in the existing economy is indeed the existence of a distinct SEC.)

Well, yeah, there is a rather straightforward solution - just don't store any personal information on a blockchain.

Is it practical? Sometimes yes. Some usecases won't be able to do that, and this is fine, they should just consider technologies other than a blockchain. Or if they really want to have blockchain, perhaps consider storing personal information in an external database with references to its fields on a blockchain. Possibly with a salted hash stored in a blockchain, so that it's possible to verify whether a value was changed. A matching checksum or an empty value (meaning a value removed due to GDPR requirements) would be fine.

Edit: A removed comment suggested storing an encryption key in a database to decrypt data on a blockchain. This is another way of looking at it - essentially keep two parts, one on a blockchain, another outside of blockchain - and you need both to decode the data while the part outside of blockchain could be removed.

This made me think of Metafont[1] which D. Knuth developed in conjunction with TeX. The idea was to do font-design by drawing with a virtual brush -- but with perfectly smooth curves and a build-in constraint solver. The end result is that the entire Computer Modern family is parameterized (and generated on-demand) as TeX is using it. As an example, the serif, sans-serif and typewriter fonts are the same Metafont program, but just with different parameters.

Looking at the repo for these Indian fonts you can see that they use FontLab Studio[2] for the work. Browsing the homepage reveals how complicated and involved font crafting is -- let alone the design!

From the article:

> The Nexus 6P and 5X launched with an update policy of two years for major OS updates and three years for security updates
> Fully de-centralized exchanges are coming too, how are they ever going to regulate that?

That's an interesting thought that I hadn't considered. I mean, when we think of trading stocks, we tend to exclusively think of brokerages and the like and forget that at one point in history, it wasn't uncommon to actually hold a stock certificate in a safe somewhere. It's before my time, but I believe you could turn around and sell that certificate to someone else without involving anyone. Were it a straight cash transaction, it would be trivial to perform without anyone but the two parties involved being aware of the transaction.

In the case of a decentralized trading platform, one could trade between crypto-currencies without the ability of the government to regulate it, but once you wish to turn it into hard currency, that's where regulation can step in. What would be more interesting, though, is if the "original promise" of bitcoin -- that it could be used without turning it into cash (buy a coffee with Bitcoin!) -- became a reality. Unfortunately, it's looking like that's headed more and more in the other direction. I have a feeling, though, if regulation steps in hard, there'll be greater motivation to solving the problems that have made this difficult in the past[0]. Combined with some of cryptocurrencies aimed at increasing/providing anonymity to transactions, you start to head more toward a very difficult to regulate set of circumstances that might resemble the difficulties the copyright industries have had attacking file sharing technologies[1].

[0] And while there has been plenty of motivation and I'm aware of some folks actively solving this problem, the motivation among all stakeholders has to be there, as well.

[1] Though the government has far more motivation to solve this problem than it did as it relates to copyright infringement -- I'll admit it's not a great analogy once you start digging into the details.

The better question is 'what's factual' as that's a random, unsourced rumor. Literally anyone can make those up and the vast majority are forgotten when they are eventually proven wrong. Yes, every so often one happens to be a real leak, but you're misinforming yourself if you treat them as credible in general.

When they do that, you should treat the people with the byline on the article as having said it themselves and then evaluate what evidence (if any) they can give for that and whether they have an ulterior motive (e.g. being a partisan hack).

I'm personally very keen on "coin-mediated" finance. However, that doesn't mean I'm stupid enough to believe I can flout securities law without consequences. A public offering is still a public offering when you couch it behind a token, no matter how cleverly constructed your whitepaper.

If the SEC was going to come down like a ton of bricks they would have done so already. I could be wrong, but their actions seem to demonstrate that they're taking a very measured, careful approach to coming up with a regulatory framework.

My comment was a reaction to other comments, not the statement from the SEC - which actually doesn't say much either.
Neural Networks API 1.1

We introduced the Neural Networks API in Android 8.1 to accelerate on-device machine learning on Android. In Android P we're expanding and improving this API, adding support for nine new ops -- Pad, BatchToSpaceND, SpaceToBatchND, Transpose, Strided Slice, Mean, Div, Sub, and Squeeze. If you have a Pixel 2 device, the DP1 build now includes an Qualcomm Hexagon HVX driver with acceleration for quantized models.

Can someone tell me what this will most likely be used for? I'm not familiar with the field.

Thanks for the tips. I actually have a GitHub org [1] which serves as a todo list for projects to try and get into a state to be put up.

Source code for Kitspace is on GitHub as well: https://github.com/monostable/kitspace

Tindie is a really cool platform for selling kits and assembled projects and I need to figure out how to best reach people there. Kitspace is kind of trying to serve the niche of creators that don't want to put in the effort to put together and sell assembled projects or kits. There is probably still some overlap though and some people do have projects on both sites already I believe.

Kitspace is built with React and Semantic-UI (and pcb-stackup! [2]) and is compiled into a static site hosted on Netlify. I chose to implement my own build system using Ninja because I didn't get on with the frontend build tools at the time and it needs to process a lot of assets (and I do embedded systems programming by day, so I actually like Make and Make-like build tools). This was before Webpack and I had a go at understanding Webpack a few times in the mean time but never got my head around the config language.

I am currently working on moving away from a static site and using an instance of GitLab as a back-end. I am eyeing up Parcel and Next.js as possible routes for building the new front-end.

> It would be monumentally newsworthy if there was clear guidance that Bitcoin and Ethereum "weren't securities"

The SEC refers people to the Howey Test in all of their statements, which is fairly clear guidance that they don't consider Bitcoin to be a security. With something like Ethereum they're not going to say, since something can alternate between being a security and not being a security, so any sort of specific guidance wouldn't be especially meaningful.
Well, currently you have to convert cryptocurrency into hard currency to use it, but the former isn't true. I have mined all of my cryptocurrency and that's pretty common among my peers.

Money changed hands for me to get that currency -- money paid to the power company and to a few eBay sellers for video cards -- but nothing requiring an exchange fit-for-purpose.

If purchasing with cryptocurrency ever truly becomes a thing (yeah, I know it exists, but it's rare and becoming more rare these days), that will affect the other side, as well.
