IBM did a lot of the early research in my hometown on cosmic ray errors. It essentially said that you were 5x more likely to see single bit errors in Boulder, Colorado than NYC, and ten times more likely in Leadville, Colorado. It was mostly due to the altitude differences, Boulder being approx 1 mile up, and Leadville being two. The latitude also mattered, though: La Paz is even higher, but is further away from the poles, so it was a safer place to put your data without ECC.

Blockchain: Public, Consortium and Private Models
I don't doubt the benefits enumerated in the article are true but I still think we as a society need to be better at respecting boundaries set by others.

Long ago I had a co-worker who would slap me on the back in an "attaboy" sort of way. Firm and solid, but not physically damaging. I politely asked him to stop and he gave me two more whacks in reply, saying "You big kidder, you're always joking around." and continued his behavior until he left for another job.

It's not difficult to do better than the person from my story. Then I see articles (similar to this one, but this is better than most I've seen) that take this to a strawman extreme and invalidate the very real phenomenon that we're collectively still pretty terrible at respecting the boundaries of others. The worst articles are the ones taking the childish position of "Well, if I can't wish someone a nice day without worrying about sexual harassment then I just won't say anything at all! So there!" which minimizes and ignores the actual issue and takes a certain pride in refusing to improve or grow.
Thanks, and yes it's elusive :)
Sure, will need to add this. Can't avoid taxes!
While I agree with you, if someone would have said the opposite - that they are where they are because of the support and guidance of their parents even when they were just getting started as an adult, few people would bat an eye.

I can say I am where I am because of all of my hard work. But I know that isn't entirely true. It would have been much harder for me to move out of the small town I grew up in and where I went to college, to the city where I live with much better opportunities making far too little to support myself in the beginning without their support. I can draw a pretty straight line from my first low paying job as a computer operator that didn't pay enough to make it to where I am today 20 years later.

If it weren't for them, I probably would have gotten a job that paid more then working on mainframes but without the growth opportunities in a small town.
It would be extremely easy to implement.

Ad is easy. You don't have to understand context. Just listen for a thousand or so keywords related to products that are paying you. Then if detection happens apply some rudimentary sentiment analysis on the surrounding phrase and that's all you will ever need.

if you have a couple millions for me to start a small team we can offer this as a service next month or two.

The title says "curated", but in my experience all the "awesome-*" lists have just a few criteria for merging PRs, highest among them that changes keep the list sorted alphabetically. The approach doesn't have any opinions about whose streams you should try watching first. How is this all that different from searching google for "developers who stream", except that on this list it's easier for people who would be far down in the search results to get noticed?

As for this "awesome-" list, the same holds for all of them that I've seen.
While noopkat is awesome, the list is in the order that people were added :)
What you search for is personal data.

The search engine is just a targeting mechanism for ads. You tell Google what you are searching for and they serve you a targeted ad. That has always been the business model.
Luxury condos reduce demand on other buildings, helping keep rents down. Without them you'd have more rich people bidding on regular stuff.

That said, if the new buildings are less dense than what they replace, it would raise rents.
You get a sense of positivity by just going through the stellar website and documentation (eerily similar to Stripe). It is beautifully designed and easy to understand. Kind of gives the feeling that they are in it for the long run unlike many other get rich quick Ponzi cryptocurrencies out there.
I think the point godot meant to convey is that modern software development practices disincentivize polishing and refactoring features for performance, as developers move around the application all the time; regardless of programming language.

Whereas traditionally you would have an engineer responsible for part of the application as time goes by, making sure that it works better while maintaining quality.

Have you built capability for nested sub-models? It doesn't look like it's structured that way, but I can imagine that being a desired feature as a model grows in complexity.
Part of the problem with talking about some policies is differing visibilities of suffering. Yes, the old grandma who has lived in the same apartment for 50 years has very visible suffering if you make her apartment market rate. However, what about the people who were never able to move to NY to start their career and family because of the policy? Or a family that had to leave the city and everyone they knew because they couldn't afford it, and the grandma monopolized all of the 'affordable housing' benefit?
My current suspicion is they think my phone is hers due to IP. She doesn't use FB mobile at all and I use ad-block + NoScript on my computer, but not on my phone.

I've picked two different, random topics (boats & umbrellas) to occasionally search for on my phone and computer respectively. So that should help me figure out what the source is.
Yep, you just read into my mind ! Also think it could be great for education, in the information age it's still not easy to understand how businesses work exactly for most people.

TIOBE Index March 2018 – Ruby replaces Delphi in top 10
I'm not sure what you mean by graduate physicists being "judged" by undergraduate physics, but most of what is taught in undergrad physics--Newtonian mechanics, optics, and gravity; Maxwell electromagnetism; the Bohr model of the atom, etc.--is sort of "wrong" in that it is an abstraction or simplification of the underlying theories that professional physicists spend their time considering and testing.

If someone told you that they are a professional physicist and you said "oh, so you time pendulums and drop various objects from heights and build simple circuits," (common in undergrad physics labs) they would probably look at you funny.

Undergrads simply don't have the math to do "real" physics.

Even Feynman couldn't change that. He tried to build an intro to physics course around "real" physics, starting with the electron, but he ultimately judged his effort a failure.
Of course I agree that both sides have free speech rights to advocate for what they believe in. It's the precise contents of that "etc." that worry me.

This seems pretty neat. What is the purpose of such an app though? Is it intended for use by Android developers? I don't see what I'd use it for but I'm interested in how people use the app.
Yes, but perhaps your framework for approaching this is a little too old school?

When SWIFT was devised, the idea of having a singular system for resolving these transactions not only made sense but was (probably?) technically necessary. I think given where we are today, multiple competing protocols, each with their own advantages, may be viable.

Lastly, for finance, consumer choice is valuable: I like being able to Venmo my friends, autodeposit my landlord, slow mail my bills, and Apple Pay my retail purchases. I don’t send money overseas but I could imagine a similar bifurcation of solutions in this space, all with their own advantages.
I know about Chris Espinosa (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Espinosa). I didn't think anyone else had been their 30+ years.
A huge number of his essays directly reference how hard running a startup actually is. While he may imply that anyone can have a startup, I've always interpreted it as similar to saying that anyone can run a half-marathon (or 5K or whatever the right distance is for this analogy) - yes, anyone has the capacity to do it, but not everyone is willing to put in the work required. To be clear, I don't think this is a bad thing - everyone is free to have their own priorities.
Statistically, this is actually really not that surprising.

Both photographers take multiple shots with a short shutter, usually from the same places, and usually trying to pick the same events. So the only coincidence is basically having two photographers be at the same place and time.
> How was a comment that says “no one deserves to have a spouse die” injecting politics?

The “And yet...” after that part, which basically inverts the overall message and is suggesting Cutts comes closer than most to deserving it, is injecting a negative personal judgement; it's not overtly political, but given the nature of the negative commentary Cutts has received, when he has received negative commentary, on HN, it's not surprising that it would be read as injecting something that could broadly be described as politics.
"AppSumo didn't take anything from you. They just didn't go above and beyond their duty this time for whatever reason and now you feel like you've been cheated because you justified the expense for yourself based on the expectation that they'd do it again."

well yes, although not super precise ... the "above and beyond" tends to be specified as free updates for life ... it's just that it's not exactly specified as what that means, since nobody is a fortune teller and the product owners don't even know themselves what feature they will add three years later ... but I guarantee you, that the moment when all appsumo deals stop promising future updates ... half of the people will stop buying ... this is not a stolen napkin, not something extra ... this is an important feature of the appsumo deals ... we buy those deals ... and many (if not most) of us don't even use the products much, knowing we can use them 3 years later when we need them and they will be up to date ... in the fb thread, none of us have even used KingSumo yet .. it would be pointless to stack up on apps that won't work as best as they can later
How Banks Are Disrupting Payments – Two International Models
Common usage of the term blockchain implies a trustless, distributed consensus model. Even the Wikipedia article on blockchain references this in it's opening blurb, and asserts that Satoshi invented the blockchain [1]. Google trends also shows that the term practically didn't exist prior to widespread recognition of Bitcoin (even if you adjust the window to hide the recent spike, it was virtually unused) [2].

It's not the best nomenclature in the world, but that's just what it has come to mean.

> This is just a ridiculous HN meme at this point: every problem is caused by regulation and the only tool we're allowed to use to solve problems is incentives.

A data point amplifying this assertion is the situation in St. Louis, where tax incentives are handed out like candy to almost exclusively luxury developments. The city has seen several credit downgrades since 2015, with weak revenue raising ability cited in the most recent instance. The higher interest rates the city now pays on its financing are part of the reason why growth in tax revenue (including several sales tax hikes) has been fully nullified by cost increases, with the result being a net loss. Affordable housing development is sparse, since it's obvious to builders where they get the most favorable discounts.

Can you explain your response to his comment. He was just making a statement of preference, and nothing to do with praising anybody.

It's just better off not to make the type of comments you made, tying to weave your personal preferences into some else's statement of preference by interjecting some form of relativity of "evilness".

Github does allow bots (they are even marked as [bot]), but the user must opt-in to them before they can do PRs or other interactions with repositories.
As far as I'm aware, people occupying rent controlled apartments (in NYC) can opt to be bought out by their landlord. I've heard a number of stories of people using that windfall (generally buyouts are on the order of $10^4-10^5) to improve their general living situation, and I've also heard stories (including someone I knew personally) of people squandering that windfall and ending up living out of their car.
Their individual homes? Not at all. They invest in companies that build, sell, and lease single-family, multi-family, and commercial real estate in the SF/SV area.
Off course, but the steady stream of money to the rich is unstoppable. The problem is that we are conditioned to accept the extreme wealthy and even look up to them. Most people think everything is OK as long as they have a decent income. So most people only find out first about the horror of this system once they lose their job and hit the streets. But then it's all too late when the reality sinks in. With the sticker POOR on your head your kinda lost till you die in this world.

We live in a world of modern slavery where one needs the skill and luck to find a good job to avoid the streets. A better distribution of wealth would be great of course. Imagine all those billionaires rendering at least half of their fortunes back to the poor. But that is not realistic and will never happen. Things will get worse to the point they lock us up in some sort of "District 9" (Elysium).

Last time I read about it, using 3D Secure changed your liability agreement with the credit card provider. Not to mention that its implementation is a confusing mess that bounces you between badly designed websites with questionable security.
Core counts between the two aren't equal yet. The A11 is still using a 6 core processor and could seemingly bump that up to 8 cores and widen the gap more easily than Qualcomm could close it too.
> benefited at the cost of others

The cost disproportionately affects the wealthy. Due to the marginal utility of money (your first $10,000 a year has a lot more utility than your 100th), that means even a zero-sum benefit was likely a huge net positive measured in utility.
Isn't an NDA a lifetime contract?
A couple thousand dollars isnt going to get you anything but a couple acres of desert wasteland in the US. You might get a nicer piece of land for $20,000 but the sort of places where land is that cheap are often very rural. 45 minute drives to the nearest medical care or supermarket, and if you're lucky, maybe electric utility hookups (water, sewer, internet? good luck).
Gosh, really unfair to Keybase. From the moment I became aware of Keybase I've been thinking about where and when would be the nexus with cryptocurrency and smart contracts.

In our local town, the old warehouse district development was 'incentivised' with rent subsidies for new construction. So luxury construction was done, and the rents are exactly the same as everywhere else. The landlords sucked it up for themselves. Strangely, they stand mostly empty.
If we are speaking about a product that I have to pay for or a paid service, then I will end up paying a share of the R&D, maintenance, advertising.

If we are speaking about a service provided at no cost to me and the provider makes money off advertising, then I will end up paying some share of that if and only if my access to said service is charged by a 3rd party, eg a phone company that charges me for traffic, vs my home connection which is a flat rate, regardless if I use it or not.

The attitude of "you have a link, that's good enough" is a silly one. What about file metadata? Who uploaded it? What's their identity in the chat? Because there's no threading in IRC, you can't have a discussion about files/links that persists separate from the channel. Even if you make a HEAD request for every file, what if I want to see the page title of the link or a thumbnail of a linked video or image rather than downloading it?

If we keep the attitude of "IRC solves all the problems it intends to solve," then the number of users whose problems are addressed by IRC shrinks more and more over time.
Ya, seems like the wrong article was posted?
Semi-related, is there a good in-browser RDF store? Say something like what PouchDB does for CouchDB (and similar) JSON document stores.

For as important as RDF has been for the web, it feels increasingly less "web native" today as most efforts still seem to be highly Java-focused and Browsers mostly don't run Java anymore.

(I ask because a silly project idea I have some tiny amount of notes for is something of a Twine competitor. I realized that while the language ideas I'm exploring don't look like SPARQL or other graph languages, there is a bit of an overlap conceptually under the hood and an RDF store might make sense as a bootstrap tech, but brief searches didn't turn up anything useful.)
