It is a flaw for those banned from being recognized as "accredited investors".

And here we are approaching the crux of the issue. Building a new line so it's fully automatic is relatively straightforward. Re-engineering an existing line to make it automatic (without shutting it down for months, which understandably is rarely an option) is like performing open heart surgery on a patient while he is running a marathon.
The entire point of investment is that you believe that you will have returned to you more than you put in. Otherwise they'd just give the money to the organization as a donation.

The TLDR is that you just make sure that you are only selling your unreleased token to qualified investors.

A qualified investor is someone who has a million dollars in assets or something like that.
Doesn't work here, since Erlangolem made the statement that it's not testable.

Erlangolem made that explicit assertion, and now has to back up that statement up.
> Their replies are only private if the discloser keeps them private. The discloser is free to publish their correspondences with AMD which may include a timeline.

Sure, but if trades are made and correspondences are subsequently released, those trades were made with insider information is my point.
Not all returns are free with Amazon. Generally speaking, there needs to be a defect or error on the part of the seller (ex: listing has incorrect info) in order for it to be free. If you classify your return as "No longer need this item.", then the shipping amount will be deducted from your return, in my experience.

If you return a lot of items and it's repeatedly defective/incorrect info/<whatever makes return shipping free>, then you'll probably be flagged just like Home Depot is doing.
Hmm, interesting. Assuming resurrecting you was easier than picking your brain, there would be the problem of you lying, both when you died and after you were brought back to life. How would they deal with that?

I guess they could just kill you again. But would the threat of that happening in the future deter you from lying at time of death, when you have nothing else to lose?

It seems like there would need to be system of proving possession of a password that would have to last 100 years. I have not thought through this kind of scenario (sorry!). Perhaps this has been considered before by those studying the problem in detail (e.g. science fiction authors)? What are the solutions?

There's no such thing as "Too Big To Fail" on the internet. There was a period of time during the earlier days when infrastructure was centralized but those days are behind us I've read, and if one major backbone provider were to fail the system could adapt.

SaaS providers like Google and Facebook don't matter at all. Their importance has been exaggerated to epic proportions. If Google/Alphabet were to fail tomorrow the Internet would barely notice outside of social conversation. It'd be a curiosity, but the system would adapt. "Some People" might be without E-mail for a few hours, and a lot of E-mail providers would see surges in sales.

We can help encourage the survivability by teaching new users of alternatives for search, blogging, following friends and so on.
Return policy arbitrage. Cool!
> because it hasn't.

Implying it's been tried, and failed.

Where has widespread teaching of critical thinking been tried?
I agree with most things you say, but "you can't get a bad sound out of it" is pretty subjective, especially when it comes to synthesis. So how would one define the training set of "good sounds" for supervised training?

One thing I thought would be pretty cool - I've got a friend who did a phd on physical modeling of sound in Edinburgh - http://www.ness.music.ed.ac.uk/. Often those physical models have hundreds of parameters and it's quite difficult to tune them to make meaningful/good sounds. Perhaps a neural network would be useful for tuning the parameters - you could use a real musician playing a real instrument with sensors, and use the generated sensor data and audio for your training set. And then the neural network could learn to match the physical model parameters to that.
Demand for the currency can also increase absent non-speculative sources of demand.

That's the problem we're highlighting. We feel that many of the dev teams today are more focused on increasing the demand by chasing speculation instead of chasing utility. By changing how the dev team makes money, you focus the dev team on chasing actual utility instead of chasing the more short term goals that can pump coin price.
I don't know that this is true for all users — there is logic to asking for payment details when motivation is highest, which is often before putting in a couple hours building a page. Putting down a credit card might also improve customer success, as that will help motivate the customer to finish on your platform, rather than forgetting about it for a month before going to Squarespace because they can barely remember your where they started building the first version...
Great show. Loved season 3. White Christmas in season 2 also touches on this.
> Putting a TLS certificate on your shit with LE takes minutes. Doing it through another CA is minutes

if you have one server, yes.
else it's the other way around, because if you have multiple servers you need to do a lot of fancy stuff.
And LE also does not work in your internal network if you do not have some stuff publicy accessible.
And it also does not work against different ports.

Oh and it's extremly hard to have a proxy tls <-> tls server that talks to tls backends, useful behind NAT if you only have one IP, but multiple services behind multiple domains.

IPv6 fixes a lot of these issues.

You listen to science backed hypnosis sessions aimed at retraining certain behaviours, such as procrastination, focus and motivation. All of these behaviours are targeted towards self-development, and the sessions are around 20 mins on average. The app is best used on a daily basis to help you gain control over your subconscious.
I concur. One big pain point is how small the buttons are to change songs. I'm usually driving when listening to Apple music and would love it if I had huge buttons or could go vertical for driving model which made it dead simple. Nope, let's make it hard so my eyes go off the road.

This and it also seems like Apple has given up on a lot of their playlists. Adding one song per week doesn't count as updated playlist. For how many billions they generate, you'd think you could just have an army of people making amazing playlists.
One of the things that bothers me most about modern food culture is the lack of reverence for the animal that was slaughtered for you to enjoy. With that said, I actually think he did a good job showing gratitude for the animal in that docu-series. Its the least meat eaters can do for themselves.

Trader Joe's does this with food. In my experience, they will take anything back, any time, with no receipt. (Alcohol being the one exception, although they did take a return of an unopened box wine that was leaking.)

A few times I've been in the store and overheard a conversation a customer had with a crew member who encouraged them to bring something back if they didn't like it.

I imagine this works out well for them: when you go back, you will probably find something else to buy!
Bitcoin is certainly much less liquid than AAPL, but thats somewhat off topic.

This is true. Our team is a little unique maybe in that we can all modify the GraphQL Schemas when we need to (we're using Node.js + Join Monster so it's all JavaScript). I would say though that with our REST API, updating was a lot more involved as we'd have to add more boilerplate on the client side to support the new data structures, whereas with GraphQL, it's just updating the query.

I think a lot of the people here are checking out the app and seeing the how it works/the benefits there, but I can provide some more info here for you. As I said in the other comment just then, you would listen to hypnosis sessions designed to retrain thought patterns that are affecting your poductivity and self-development. This includes behaviours such as concentration, confidence and much more. If there is anything you have questions about, feel free to ask them here and I'll respond asap!
Insider trading usually implies coming into possession of confidential information and acting on it. Trading on non-public information that results from your own research and then announcing it is not illegal.

Imagine someone buying stock and then saying the company is good. Not very controversial is it. Warren Buffet does it. Shorting stock and saying the company is bad is just the flip side of it.

In fact, there are equity research companies that do specifically that (e.g. Muddy Waters). Whether that research holds water or not is for the market to determine (AMD is up on the day).
Umm, at any major exchange?

If people have a means to extract their Facebook posts and publish their content on their own blogs, then that value isn't really under Facebook control. It's a symbiotic relationship, and it's a safe bet that if Facebook were to make the wrong moves, the users would simply leave. Indeed that's been happening in recent months over privacy concerns and other things.
The article makes serverless sound like magic. I thought we called this microservices, like AWS Lambda and AWS DynamoDB aren't serverless, they just dont run on YOUR server.

Let's start here:
> In 2013, 138.3 million taxpayers reported earning $9.03 trillion in adjusted gross income and paid $1.23 trillion in income taxes. [0]

Assuming the taxes collected this year are even remotely similar, and assuming this grant came 100% from income tax, and assuming you pay an equal amount in taxes as everyone else, this grant cost you (960000/1.23 trillion)=1/1281250 of the taxes you paid. I know that's a lot of assumptions, but even if that calculation is off by several orders of magnitude, the tax burden is pretty darn small. If you earned $100,000 last year you paid roughly 8 cents for this. It could open up doors to a lot of interesting research. Maybe nothing will come of it. I'd pay 8 cents to find out though.

Also, who says this is "the elite" wanting to live forever and us schlubs footing the bill?

more regulation is not always the answer. it can lead to too much regulation and you'll end up paralyzed like what happens with banks today.
Great start!

Now if I were to give you one piece of advice I would say, find a niche or a couple of niche industries that have specific needs and sell to them.

This can be anything from setting up an event and taking payment for it to creating a local sports group.
NP. There's a lot of urban legend style stories about the military (multi thousand dollar hammers, that sort of thing) passed around, both in the US and the UK, and I think it's important that where there are cases of actual incompetence or negligence they get reported, but it's counterproductive to invent things so it's useful to correct any false impressions.
It depends. You may not enjoy certain micro-optimizations, but to me it seems perfectly possible that even though living in a communist dictatorship has many negatives, the net benefits under a benevolent dictator could easily surpass the drawbacks, especially when compared to a free but largely corrupt Western society where the benefits may not make it outside the top 10%.

And this isn't even getting into the longer term prospects of the very real danger of the efficiency and scale of China starting to eat into the core economies of other nations as they move away from simple manufacturing and beginning moving up the value chain, as we are now seeing.
Yes. Even if you think the complaint is mathematical pedantry, the original sentence still uses a big fancy word wrongly when it could have used simple ones correctly.

Both "...quickly gotten worse..." and "...gotten much worse..." are sharper.
There are two reasons you might want to share the link to an HN discussion: if there is interesting discussion going on, or if you want to encourage people to upvote it.

In this case, there is no discussion about the article, just about the upvote brigade. So the only reason for sharing the link to the HN discussion would be to get people to upvote it.

Teleport 2.5 released
(I'm not affiliated with Discord or any significant community that uses it, but I'm an early adopter and a big fan).

I wish more communities would use Discord. The single sign-on alone makes it super convenient, but all around I just like the experience better than Slack, from login, to sharing channels, going by the actual UX (I haven't used the app in a while. Back then it needed a bit of love. Dunno if its still the case).

Every time I try to join a Slack community, it starts with "Ok, where' the darn link for it", to having to sign up, and looking at my computer's resources dying under the load and everything lagging if I'm navigating old comments from search (if there even is any, since free communities get truncated pretty hard).

I know there's a bunch of missing features, especially for corporate use, but for the stuff a lot of these communities use it for, Discord just works better.

The only thing that used to be a big issue for me was dealing with servers with a large amount of channels (since you kind of always join all of them by default. Is that still the case?). Channel organization by category is quite nice though.
Ask HN: How many hours of coding is reasonable to be doing each day?
I am currently doing 3 hours of code every day. As I am also the CEO, I've other tasks to do that is not coding. Sometimes, I wish I have more time coding to accelerate growth. However, I actually feel 3 hours is already a maximum and I won't be really productive anyway if I spend more hours coding.

What is your opinion on this?
Torture gives our enemies moral high ground.
This is doubly a strawman. "Don't invest in things you don't understand" is pretty much rule 1 of investing, which is quite different from the general case of participating in a market. Anyway, GP already said they agree that regulation is needed.

With the social and financial security nets we have, a person’s bankruptcy is on all taxpayers (as soon as they get food stamps, Medicaid, etc.). There’s an incentive to protect people from devastating financial mistakes, regardless of political slant.

Amazon Is Hiring More Developers for Alexa Than Google Is Hiring for Everything
Which is a convenient argument to make, because it can be applied to the argument itself. But by extension, all we know would be that we don't know anything. Which is a good starting point, but not really satisfactory. The word em-piri-cal is related to ex-peri-ance and ex-peri-ment, so ... the idea is what isn't broken doesn't need fixing. And by a stretch, imperial is related, though the latter is from latin whereas the former is from greek; Both go back to "* per", which still exists on its own and in "perform", e.g. ... so I guess the idea is proof by construction. A program is isomorphic to a proof, according to the Curry Howard Correspondence, this is well known around here.

As a student of Physics and CompSci I had to defend the "pure math" perspective. Anyway, the circular reasoning of the quote is just the way the mind works. Still, the certainty can be quantified with Bayesian reasoning, but there has to be a threshold of what's transmitted.

>The self-taught developers orchestrated a successful debut which saw them reach Top 10 on bleeding edge curation platform Product Hunt, a shoutout from Eddie McGuire on Millionaire Hotseat and 1000 new users in a week to boot.

That's from the press release on the website. Yet there are only 8 ratings in the app store and no reviews. Seems odd.
> HN is the most popular news aggregation site.

I'm pretty sure Google News and, even though it's not it's main purpose, Facebook are far more popular news aggregators, and even if the latter isn't intended as a news aggregator, both are deliberately more general focus than HN.

For news discussion platforms, Facebook (again) and Reddit are bigger than HN.

HN is distinguished by it's focus.
If you've ever suffered from Depersonalization/Derealization disorder, it will become very clear that your mind and your consciousness are not the same thing at all.

DP/DR is quite possibly the worst mental disorder you can ever fall into. It is the feeling where you are convinced everything around you is not real, you see people you know, you know they are significant, but they just feel like actors in a show and you don't care. You look in the mirror, and you don't recognize yourself as you, you just see a body. Worse, your body just moves around the world and accomplish things on autopilot, while you watch everything unfold on what feels like a screen, completely detached. If you died, you wouldn't care much, because you wouldn't feel it's you dying, in fact you want to die, because you are trapped in a hell from which there is no escape.

I've never suffered from this disorder, but I investigated it for some time and am convinced it reveals something we do not yet understand about our existence in this world. The source of our existence may not be where we think it is.

Don't you think this information should be included somewhere in the website?

I just read every single piece of text in that page and didn't get any useful information. Even reading the information in the "Science" page (linked at the top menu) doesn't clarifies anything. Considering the current stage of the landing page, it would be better to simply redirect the user to the iTunes page (since there is no Android app yet) and let the user try the app immediately rather than confusing them with irrelevant information.
My argument against Haskell is that you are likely to build the wrong thing righter. My experience watching those around me is that it takes longer to write, but 'if it compiles, it's correct.'

The problem is that you probably don't know what you're building, so you would want a more flexible language.

I would lean towards python for all things data science, and go for infrastructure.
