Except Telegram is not pervasive in emerging markets like Whatsapp was, and history has demonstrated that users are very fickle with messaging apps - they aren't keeping an essential history like in social media that they cannot easily export or take with them, they are used for moment to moment conversations that are discardable, just like the apps that host them.

Even then, all that argues for is the value in buying Telegram, not in giving them more money. What the hell does an already established and functioning group chat / voice calling / semi-encrypted phone and electron desktop app need in 2018? Whatsapp was spending hundreds of millions just to acquire users with no monetization strategy for the sake of having users, same with Telegram.

I highly doubt Facebook can get any reasonable conversion ratio from Whatsapp user to Facebook regular that already wouldn't happen on its own. Having an audience is worth something, but it is not worth billions unless you are actually getting substantial value from that audience consistently.
Mediterranean sun is relatively benign. I am pale and used to have red hair. A full day in summer Mediterranean sun and I get a mild burn. If I go 20 minutes in New Zealand I’m toast, and mid summer it’s less than that. Even cloudy days can burn you easily here, and I’ve been burn in rainy days too. Ozone makes a hell of a lot of difference.

Ketamine doesn’t make you happy and it doesn’t make you less sharp (except for the short period of time when you’re under the influence). I just did it for the third time this week and the effect is not what you describe. It is not an escape. I’m able to think more clearly and be _more_ rational because I don’t have the heavy weight of depression clouding my mind. I feel like ketamine reboots my mind. It pulls me out of the ruminative loop that seems to be the root of my depression and lets me restart life with a clean slate. It allows me to see things more clearly and deal with the real issues causing my depression.
It’s most like “you take some money and run”.

If you've already got VLC, which is open source, it can work and look similarly, just drag on some MP3 files and it turns them into a "playlist" and plays. Example: https://i.imgur.com/YoiWeDz.png .. bonus is it'll also play stuff like .mod, .xm and other old tracker formats.
Redux is appropriate for that, yes. You'll need to write the code to communicate with the server. So whatever fetch/update APIs you write there. Then interpret the response, and push the data into Redux.

Your server is your main single-source of truth. But on the client, redux is that source of truth that your UX and application code reference.

Lin Clark is amazing at explaining concepts in the React and Mozilla worlds. Here's her intro to Redux concepts: https://code-cartoons.com/a-cartoon-intro-to-redux-3afb77550...

This article reminded me a lot of my struggle with ADD. Noises that are repeating and usually filtered out by most people are the thing that keeps me from being able to focus on a single thing. I was never diagnosed with ASD, but I can commiserate.

I've mined some in 2009-2010 (sold everything at about $20 sometime later), and then everyone around it was just a crypto enthusiast, yes. But none of these were "normal" people using Bitcoin for normal needs.

How many "normies" have you encountered using Bitcoin, and what do they use it for? The only case I see all the time around me is drugs. I doubt there's a single dealer in the whole city who's still accepting cash.

Such perceptions are overwhelmingly in the eye of the beholder and such complaints have been around as long as HN has.

From my perspective the mix of stories here hasn't changed much in 10 years.
Yes, it's enough. Poor performance will come from things like poorly constructed websites (too much JS, very chatty sites and apps loading resources across many domains, or calling home a lot, especially with limited upstream bandwidth), contention with other users of the connection, and latency (not often a big issue with wired connections). On latency, this piece from 1996 is still worth a read: http://www.stuartcheshire.org/rants/latency.html.

I work in film and visual art, and have always, odd as it is, associated my difficulty following film plots with my intrigue or indiosyncratic relationship to the art forms. I am also diagnosed. Film editing offers an interesting boundary of sorts in thinking about scope of perception or hierarchies of attention. I’ve always had a hard time just watching a film as a story experience but I find and appreciate plenty of elements about films to be plenty intrigued by almost any of them. I got very interested in media affect as a result, that is the experience of media intake.

I have come to believe my (seemingly) unique sensitivity to aesthetics is somewhat undermined by a lack of sensitivity to poetics. This conclusion was painful to reach, but so far the realization has paid off in the way of understanding the limits of my abilities. On a more related note, I tend to experience poetics from the outside in, which causes me to miss out on much of the human experience, including the way many people enjoy films.

Awesome! I really like the minimal interface.

After I switched from Windows to Mac about one year ago, I couldn't believe I had to abandone foobar2000 and IrfanView. After some try-outs I got a bit comfortable with iTunes to play my local music, esp. different display modes (song list, album overview) of what's currently played is well done.

React isn't "new". It was deployed on FB in 2011, and open sourced in 2013. (2006 for jQuery). 4-5 years is plenty of time to develop a rich ecosystem of libraries ... just recall jQuery circa 2010-2011.

I certainly wouldn't want to build a mobile app these days with jQuery, since that would generally mean more of a pure Cordova app. (I do think that Ionic however would be a great option depending on the use case)
It's too damn slow, dude.
Include your github link again on the last page so people don't have to rewatch the presentation if they missed it the first time.
Also, if you want to focus on how components in React get their data, that's pretty simple. They just subscribe to it.

If you wanted to render a list of accounts, you could have a couple levels.

At the top, you have an account lists component. It gets a list of accountIds from a global data store (in redux). Then it outputs something like this:

<List>
<Account id="1" />
<Account id="2" />
</List

The Account components then pull info from Redux about whatever they need to render whatever account they're responsible for.

Each component registers a listener/callback with Redux when its first instantiated. So if the balance of an account changes, it's listening for that change. The change triggers your callback, that triggers a fresh render(). Then the next render() pass pulls the updated account balance with its next pass, etc.

React Native likley has a productivity benefit for simpler interfaces -- the framework is less complex and it's faster to get started. By contrast, iOS frameworks are very powerful and enable you to do a lot more.

However, a lot of this catches up to you.

1) iOS/Android already have very sophisticated and powerful MVC layers, which is what React brings to the web.

2) React Native is not performant and it's hard to solve these performance problems. I've heard a lot of people say this doesn't matter, but I've noticed this is usually said by those who are doing mobile apps for the first time coming from the desktop/browser world where problems can be hidden easier. On mobile you have no such affordances and performance issues are a bigger big deal. Funny enough, React Native would actually perform better (e.g. with scrolling) if it used a shadow view layer like its web counterpart uses. Check out https://texturegroup.org/ for an example of how this would work.

I usually agree with you, but lately, I have seen amazing advances in using video as a medium to teach ideas.

I think the standout for me would be the channel 3Blue1Brown on Youtube, which teaches math concepts with animated videos, in a way that is just amazing. I highly recommend it if you're at all interested in math.

(And no, this doesn't replace the kind of textbook learning you need to actually understand math. It's more about concepts and ideas. But it's still amazingly valuable).

The key element so far as I've seen appears to be detergent, which suggests that the critical element is probably something that breaks down fatty acids.

I'm suspecting this either breaks down critical messaging / management chemistry, or carapace / cell-wall functions. I've had little luck determining or finding what the specific lethal mechanism is, though the method appears effective.

Upshot: a non-sudsing detergent or other fatty-acid denaturing agent should likely work. Formula 409 might work, ammonia is another possibility, though that in a shop-vac will have its own atmospheric issues (though the smell should dissipate in a well-ventilated area).
I recall Rhonda Patrick explaining on a podcast that they used an extremely high amount of vitamin E, all in the form of alpha-tocopherol which leads to depletion of gamma-tocopherol.

No disrespect intended, but I think this is a classic case of confirmation bias.
That's why, when I perform Bach's cello suite, I change the rhythms, sometimes quite a bit. I see it as a great sketch in melody and harmony, a springboard to experiment with some more rhythmically sophisticated ideas.

It's so fascinating to me that we've fallen under the very real illusion in these modern times that "classical" music has virtually no concept of improvisation, that most of the primary elements of music are completely fixed, static, dead. That's definitely not how it used to be.
Without going off topic and kudos to the developer...however i was thinking exactly the same! I use VLC everywhere because its open source and awesome. I really believed in the project since early on, in fact if you have been using it for 10years or so, like i have, consider donating! Honestly they deserve it!
I would love a well-researched list like that. My personal prioritized list is: therapy, medication, close friendships, meditation, journalling, reading books on psychology, getting enough sleep, exercise. (I guess that's ordered from most to least promising, not necessarily order of things to try.) But it's mostly just intuition from my own experiences, not scientific.

My gut reaction is that sleep deprivation is worth trying, but probably near the bottom of the list. I've found that sleep deprivation has a strong correlation with depression for me. But different things work for different people.

I prefer to use recursion in a lot of cases in languages with pattern matching in function heads (e.g. Erlang or Elixir), particularly when each "case" deals with the accumulated state differently, which is more often than not.

When you are doing simple maps/filters whatever, then yeah, higher order functions all the way.

You should trust free markets and the widely distributed, deep wisdom of contracts. There are already market-based mechanisms in use for such needs in other areas of life.

For example, one can rent an indoor soccer field at a fixed weekly time for a fixed annual amount, and nobody else gets to use that field during that time. Then once a year that contract can be re-negotiated if someone else is offering a better deal -- better field? higher or lower price? nicer changing room? shorter- or longer-term agreement? etc.

Neat/Funny i guess but not really technically impressive. They took normal C++ code and hid it behind a macro with some names. The actual implementation isn't even there, Hashtable::hash and the 'table' member for example.

I was totally hoping for some fancy templates and macro tricks to compile time gen all the code for a working hashtable implementation.
I remember seeing it on TV. I was home sick that day in 2nd grade, and there was a CBS News special report within minutes. My mom ran out to the corner deli to get some chicken soup for lunch and I remember telling her when she returned. We didn't have cable, it definitely wasn't CNN.

It is very much a matter of perspective. Arch is more than stable enough for personal use, but is highly unstable in the context of enterprise servers, especially compared with the likes of Debian and RHEL.

> Maintainers working on a "distribution" have a responsibility to make the whole distribution of software work well & stably together, and they generally do so quite well with the odd slip up (I'm looking in the direction of the debian-openssl screwup).

Is there a policy that requires Debian package maintainers to seek mentorship of upstream when patching core packages?

I understand your point about maintained packages. But it's only a significant advantage if the maintainer's decisions must be filtered through the lens of the software maintainers. Otherwise one must trade the narrow expertise of the software maintainer for the wider expertise of the package maintainer.

That doesn't seem like a wise tradeoff IMO, and I don't see how a future openssl debacle could be prevented otherwise.
Friends have also reported robins eating the bugs. One may hope....
Every day we stray further from hyperlinked documents.
Two points:

- you suggest that software is easy and logical, in that you can triage, locate, and patch the buffer overflow. But in any sufficiently large codebase, there are simply near-unlimited more bugs to find: hence all the memory mitigation’s that have been implemented. So it’s not a robust comparison from the get go.

- there’s constantly increasing research into being able to diagnose & analyze what CNN’s “see”: possibly not to the level and accuracy that you’d expect from lldb, but how long did it take to have really amazing debuggers for binary

> Plays MP3s (also FLAC, AAC, AIFF and WAV)

What about OPUS?

The player looks really cool but OPUS (together with FLAC) is the audio format of today, not MP3 (in fact it is plain ancient and the worst option available today, worse than WMA, worse than Vorbis, worse than AAC, worse than OPUS).

As for me I've recoded hundreds of gigabytes of MP3s to OPUS already to save huge lots of space (which is very precious on a 128 GiB MacBook SSD as well as on mobiles) without loosing quality.

Did you know a 32 kbps OPUS podcast/audiobook sounds exactly the same as a 192 kbps MP3? The ratio is not this mind-blowing yet still very impressive for music files too: 128 kbits OPUS music file soudns like 256-320 kbps MP3.

Please add OPUS support and I will start recommending your player to everybody.
What are the points of failure in IPFS vs bitorrent? I'm curious now, because it seems like you're dissing IPFS because you dislike FileCoin (which I don't care for either)

Going back to the IPFS/But torrent analogy, I don't understand how bitorrent hosting problem is any more solved than the IPFS hosting problem.

I bring this up because my orginal point that I think IPFS counts as distributed, because bittorrent counts as distributed. So far you haven't really convinced me that they're all that different.

What I’m trying to say is AFAIK, AI is generally solving a problem through training something akin to a black box. It’s data -> function -> expected output. But I think we’re able to get past silly things like a pixel off or other simply “odd” images because our learning is much more involved. I’d liken it to be along the lines of data (with many data associated to our own, known input ie pushing against a car, petting a cat, looking in a mirror and moving our arms and realizing we “did that”, etc) -> contextualizing based on memories -> identifying relevant concepts (chair, car, color/blue, etc) -> thinking/doing something -> other steps -> repeat

This is also where I think robots have the best chance at really becoming self aware (far down the road). They’re not going to be passive observers.

I can't read anything and have it stick unless I use it. But the hazard of doing a project is that you'll just recycle skills and strategies from earlier languages, which inhibits your openness to what's distinctive about the new environment.

The only approach that works for me is dialectic: go back and forth between absorbing raw information, then using it hands-on on a genuine problem. Learning moves you forward, and using it locks you in and makes you a dry sponge for absorbing further material. The trick is to notice when you're trying to fit your old ways into the new box, and stay alert for opportunities to change your way of thinking.

...or maybe I'm just saying this because I'm working on learning Clojure after decades of procedural programming.
