The paper says that the bitcoin blockchain already contains illegal content. In particular copyrighted material and possible child pornography. More precisely:

>an image depicting mild nudity of a young woman. In an online forum this image is claimed to show child pornography, albeit this claim cannot be verified

(I don't know exactly what it would mean to "verify" that an image contains child pornography, since in the US and UK at least some of the relevant laws refer only to what the image "depicts", not to the age of the people used in its manufacture. Either way, the copyrighted content seems enough to establish the illegality of the blockchain in principle.) It seems unlikely that any prosecutions will happen though, because blockchain technology has a lot of mainstream support.

Hi, thanks for sharing your journey. You might wanna share this on www.indiehacker.com, more people will be inspired :)
My guess is a very narrow focus on optimizing certain metrics and a mindset that encourages "growth hacking" and any other means to reach those goals, even at the cost of everything else. *

They even described the design process that lead to some of their terrible UI elements in their tech blog: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16226029

(* which, I suspect, is the kind of mindset spammers need to rationalize their actions.)
Human reaction time would be a reason for additional distance beyond what is needed to stop, but agreed, I don't see the distance to be reduced that much. Reducing the distance to virtually nil is going to cause a crash at the first slope as well.

>Nobody wants to wake up to an autonomous vehicle crashing through their roof, but it's possible to prevent that without driving companies overseas. Requiring passenger services to secure a hefty amount of insurance is one approach—strict regulations would exist, but would be drafted by insurers.

Unless I am missing something, that would not avoid the drone/whatever to crash through one's roof, maybe the insurance will add a further layer of safety precautions, and the damages would be covered but initially doing flying tests and testing service where there are less roofs/people seems to me like a very good idea.

It's their USP; there are already less full-featured open source solutions like Gogs and Gitea. Once you start adding features like pipelines, it's hard to draw a line between what goes and what doesn't. I guess this vision is where GitLab draws it.

> The other way to look at it is that this is pretty advanced stuff, and frankly, it doesn’t deserve to be, free, open source.

Did they actually say that...? I only went to the page to confirm this and it appears true. Sounds like next time I choose self-hosted Github alternative, I should exclude Gitlab from my options - based on their approach so far, it feels like they really do mean this kind of contemptuous attitude of "only basic stuff should be free software".
I used to cheer for Gitlab, but this is just way over the line.

And despite what some say, I really don't think it's that great a product - they seem to be focused on getting a million of things poorly than get their core fixed. Performance is still terrible, see what happens to your browser when you view a diff for a large merge request. Also, you there's a limit to the number of commits in the history you can browse - come on, my `git log` loads the whole history in a split second but you can't render it? And they clearly don't care - I reported many issues to them that got confirmed and most of the time those were just shrugged off. As long as you're not an EE user, you won't really get much more than the annoyance of having odd version numbers make the sidebar sticky and even ones undo that.
You’re both right and wrong. That is, the... anger? you’re picking up isn’t incorrect, but instead lost in translation.

Back in the /. days, which, as far as I know, is where this comes from, people would use it in this way. “Read TFA.” “Have you read TFA?” “Seems like you haven’t read TFA.” Eventually, that morphed into the usage you see on HN and everything else, as kind of a different version of OP.

Real time analytics without the need for aggregation or periodic ETL? To turn your question round: Which system does not want that? MemSQL or similar offerings (on preferably more standard hardware) is definitely interesting.
I think a lot of their design is aggressively optimized for SEO and growth. Sadly though, this strategy seems to work (up to a point) even though the experience of individual users gets worse.
And do you have a business use case that requires that?
You're not wrong; documentation especially for migrating is poor. Having to google one error at a time is annoying.
So the beacon tracks a user by their IP address and browser client information. Advertisers/marketers have you put a 1px x 1px transparent GIF or PNG image on your pages or in an email blast. The image is hosted on their remote server. Then the remote server put your information into a database. By cross-referencing your IP browser agent information they can track you by without creating a cookie, local storage, or indexed database anymore.

At least the Mozilla foundation is trying to to create an Opt-Out standard. But who says any of them will adopt this standard.
It's shouldn't be cutting edge. There may be no open source library or commercial library for your needs (e.g. parsers for most telecom protocols). Your algorithms can be client specific. There may be only awful libraries especially if you use a language in an area for which it is not designed (e.g. something like C/C++ and Websockets). And there may be hundreds and thousands of other reasons. Of course, many people use Spring/Boost/etc. for routines like data transfer and popular protocols (JSON/XML) parsing, but it's only part of big picture.

I use Complice.co[0]. I switched to it because it is centered around goals and daily intentions. My todo lists can get bogged down after some time. Also the post is for personal goals so this works even better.

Complice has you set goals up, optional milestones, optional reviews weekly and monthly, and the biggie is daily intentions. You set your todos or intentions daily. Intentions are also set using which goal an intention is geared toward. You can have repeating or saved intentions too. It’s hard to describe because it’s pretty unique. It also has virtual coworking rooms. I hover usually in one of them[1].

The pipelines for Flockademic are somewhat complex, and since it's open source, you can take a look at them: [0]. It's building four interrelated Node projects at the same time, running tests, deploying the back-end projects, then building the front-end project linking it to the back-end one, then running some end-to-end tests and other checks on the deployed code. And it does that for every branch.

No manual checkpoints and different kinds of hosts or containers though.

Of course you can; if you prove, given the indirect evidence, it's the only possibility.
Yet here we are, discussing an article which frames the effects of globalism, automation and the economic collapse of Middle America explicitly in terms of a crisis of white identity.

If this same article were written about "rising anxiety among American blacks," many of the people insisting that we understand and respect the plight of the white rural male and recognize how justifiable their anger is, would denounce it as racist and ask what being black has to do with anything.

I can have sympathy for the poor, for the downtrodden and oppressed, but I can't have sympathy for someone who feels the mere presence of other races is a threat to their identity.
The threshold for most people is slightly lower than a quarter second, but it's certainly the case that above a quarter-second users will notice the delay[0].

However, people may be primed for longer delays still seeming instant. e.g. Smartphones for many years had a built-in 300ms delay on any click event, and even without that event typically still have delays on many 'instant' actions.

So while the delay will be registered as being present, it may not be registered as "this site is slow" but "it's just a natural delay".

No I am making the very simple case that a number is a number and you can't make a number illegal.

All digital information is numbers and banning any of the 4 horsemen of the infocalypse at mere possession will ensure we retard most useful technologies.

The only time that flesh space laws should apply is when flesh space actions are taken.

An example: terrorist training material is sent on how to build a bomb. Until a bomb is built, or a conspiracy to build a bomb is made, nothing illegal should have happened.

I will try to explain why I don't want to pay for note taking apps. Just an insight, I am probably wrong. Why ramble on like this? Maybe there is someone who can point me to a nice app that I can use.

The problem with most these apps is that I can't just point at a directory where the app should organise my files. I am not looking for something that saves my files to some strange (proprietary) format in an invisible place (some OS's app-data directories/online service). Putting files in folders is a problem that has been solved, it is called a file-system and all OS-s have it.

I want to work with a directory of markdown files like so:

- Easy to use on all my devices
- Copy-paste images directly (biggest feature over a code-editor)
- Proper code-highlighting and Markdown support support and generally easy to look at and use
- Use normal directory structure for organisation
- Sync using my normal tools (iCloud, Dropbox, etc), hence pointing at a dir
- Search based on tags of some sort would be ok, but can't really see the use over directory structure

Apparently the top 2 requirements won out. I say 'apparently' as I ended up using Apple Notes for note taking as it is the easiest to use on all my devices and it does image copy-pasting very well. The only down-side is that there is no directory to point to at and it lacks proper support for code.

In reality I don't really feel the need to take code notes enough. I just put stuff in the `README.md` of a project that I needed the snippet for in the first place.

So I already have most of the features that I find relevant from a free part of my computer OS and phone OS (Apple Notes). Notes works very well, there is sync, pasting images works like a charm and when I really need a small code-snippet I can live with plain-text in monospace without code highlighting. Therefore I don't want to pay $1.5 (Bear) or any other amount of money per month.

I would pay a set price though for working with MY directories, but not ~$40 (Ulysses), rather than a monthly fee.

Especially pasting images from my clipboard is a must have feature for me. I'd also want to be able to work seamlessly from computer to phone to computer, etc. The last requirement being why just using Atom with git is not a good fit.

The problem is that the square is a rectangle in the mathematical sense: a rectangle with ANY additional constraints while code which uses a rectangle expects a rectangle with NO further constraints.

I believe the right choice is to have an AbstractRectangle class representing the rectangle with any further constraints and Rectangle class representing the rectangle with no further constraints.

This is a reason to be wary of loading external images by default in mail. I don't know if they do, but spammers could quickly identify active e-mail addresses using this technique, so simply opening a mail could mean you would get even more spam, because your e-mail address is now marked as active.
The generally accepted interpretation is "first employee" but I can absolutely see how it could be taken the other way, especially by a non-native speaker.

I bought and used Quiver, but I'm slightly concerned about the lack of (frequent) updates. With many apps this is not much of a concern for me, but if I'm going to store much of my data in one, it does matter. As such, I've been, once again, working on moving away from this app into something more basic/generic to avoid lock-in.

FWIW, my needs/paranoia might not be relevant to others, and FWIW Quiver is a nifty app. Still, I do wish I can save others the trouble I went through to get my stuff into this app and then getting it out of that.

And FWIW, the storage format is quite amenable to export if you're comfortable with programming, so that's a definite plus for Quiver.

(I had issues with the search functionality, and that was enough for me to move away)
"illegal pornography, can render the mere possession of a blockchain illegal."

I see this as a very strong legal attack vector on full nodes and cryptocurrencies, probably a way around it, is to only allow meta information on a cryptographic form, even then the owner can publish the view key publicly.

A drastic solution is to just prune or don't even allow metadata.

What if one's classmates trade photographs of one getting raped? Maybe you would accept this based on your principles. But do you also demand that everybody else accepts this?

Maybe the act in itself wasn't even illegal. But publication may still be. I can have your consent to record, but not to publish. Should we just accept that the publication was illegal, but once-breached, further publication is legal?

So if I want to air something, I publish it anonymously and can then freely refer to it? A lot of laws would have to be rewritten for this to work. Privacy laws and copyright laws among them.

I was going to disagree because our universe seems to be very compressible and a lot of the properties are just natural. I bet it could be defined in 0 - 100 bits at the "earliest" point.

Agreed, it's weird.

Although, perhaps he/she sent it the accusation every single employee. Some will go 'mmm, weird, I didn't do anything, but I can't confront the accuser either as it's anonymous', whereas one will go 'shit, they know it's me, I better stop doing this'. At least until everyone talks starts talking about getting the same message. (it only takes one to come forward, after all).

I would assume that JPEG like most lossy compression algorithms is specifically defined in terms of the correct uncompressed output for a given compressed input. This means a "deblocking JPEG decoder" is effectively actually just a bad decoder that gives the wrong output (albeit for some outputs maybe you happen to prefer this).

The definitions are this way around because it's the only way to have an opportunity to improve encoding quality over time, if you start by defining how encoding must be done then you lock in bad ideas. Lame for example is far, far better at encoding MPEG audio layer III than the demo encoders shipped when the standard was written, and this is only possible because the standard says how to turn MP3 back into PCM data, not how to encode PCM data as MP3.
