I look forward to the "How I lost $32,000 selling crypto-USBs" after the fraud claims and chargebacks are filed.
This is generally my main source of skepticism relating to blockchain solutions. The ledger is 100% trustable as long as it describes digital assets that are entirely confined within the distributed ledger, but a digital token doesn't stop men with guns from taking your house. Just like a digital signature provides no guarantees that the associated information is true.
The first sentence of the Bitcoin white paper describes a problem that can't be solved by a normal DB.

Food photography is an art in its own right. Photographing real food is super hard, it wilts before your eyes. Many food pictures are of extremely expensive fakes! Hard to make the fake, but once you have it it is so much easier to work with than organic material in the studio.

Man I thought the point of all this shiny app crap is that you don't have to know what's going on with it and everything "just works."

I'll stick with my non-mobile command line tools and keeping all my cash under my bed.
This is a good point. What's the pragmatic difference between can and does. Others have pointed out a good point too that many CEOs are so busy focusing on other things that they fail to do the learning they need to, effectively falling behind the needs of the company.

I mostly am rejecting the knee jerk reaction of "Company has grown 100x and now requires a new CEO" ... Who knew this would spark so much discussion?
Okay, seems to be working now. And mailchimp link is visible in 'subscribe to newsletter' over by github and twitter icons.
With a non-trivial amount of tweaking (and 3rd party apps) you can make Windows 10 a non-poke-in-the-eye OS at least until the next major named release where you then have to redo at least a third of those tweaks.

This is not huge praise for the Windows desktop but there really is a very good OS under all the crap that Microsoft seems to be piling on.

It almost feels like there are two groups running Windows development: One group that is cleaning up the file manager, the settings dialogs, adding the Linux subsystem, fixing the console, etc. And other group adding Candy Crush, Cortana, screwing up the start menu / search, Edge, etc. The look, feel, and usability of these things are so radically different it's hard to believe that same team is responsible for them all.
Festo is absolutely fascinating. Their air penguin blew my mind.
2008 was not really a question of trusting banks in a way that our savings were harmed. It was more that our investments were harmed. Separating bank liability for either of those things is hard, but it is not a simple case to assign all the blame on them.
After I read this blog, I tried using the tools. Since my laptop is not that high end, I couldn't risk to test camtasia . So I tried hippo video. I found a few things useful.

1. Creating video on the fly with multiple recording options ( resolution, device selection etc.,)
2. Easy sharing, collaboration (comments) and reactions on shared page is pretty cool
3. Analytics for video is brilliant
4. I think tracking might be easy in future

Camtasia may be good in some cases. Since I didn't explore it, I skip that.
Stadiums that serve alcohol use and need cameras like this. The Toronto Blue Jays have had issues with beer throwing idiots during post season games in 2015 and 2016. The incident in 2016 was particularly bad when a guy threw a full beer can at an Orioles outfielder during the wild card game.
No, this is more "selling tulips during a tulip bubble" business.
The problem of RAW conversion remains because every converter will still de-Bayer files from such a camera and thus degrade the IQ.
I would suppose the commenter was referring to the fact that most of the business scams based on fake products (that us normal everyday people would be directly affected by) come from China.

And since the Chinese government has large stakes or outright ownership of those businesses, they are culpable in massive worldwide product scams. (I really don't think I need to link the news articles for this it's so pervasive).

Never seen an ad. Never had it update without me telling it to. I never modified anything in Windows to get rid of telemetry.

Doing it once while drunk is no big deal, but there are exhibitionists and such who will keep doing it over and over. It's one of those things where something seems harmless enough, but there's always That Guy who is going to take it to extremes. So I think the laws are motivated by a handful of recidivist offenders and catch a lot of non-recidivist drunks in the dragnet.

We also have a problem with media / media consumer biases: the media tends to sensationalize these crimes, and outraged voters always think punishments are too light.

To put some ideological points up for consideration: from (some) feminists, exhibitionism (like other forms of sexual assault) is used by men to assert power over women and from (some) men's rights activists, the laws are harsh and broad due to pervasive discrimination against male sexuality.

> They are as likely to go to Mars as Elon musk so at least they are in rare company

While I've left your comment unvoted-upon, the downvotes are justified, in my view.

That said, I think Musk's optimism about Mars is pretty unjustified, but for reasons unrelated to launch vehicle technology, reasons that are shared by Mars One. The main reason is that we simply do not know how to sustain human life, in the long term, in less than 1 Earth gravity without deleterious effects, including the possible cessation of reproduction. This is to say nothing of the lower light levels on Mars, the rigors of designing CELSSs, the psychology of performing while never being able to go outside again (or possibly even never being able to return to Earth due to bone loss), and so on.

Musk has even said that the trip to Mars will be "fun" because you'll get to throw a ball around and play games in zero-g. He betrays a lack of serious engagement with the challenges of human spaceflight, to say nothing of the ongoing challenges of living on Mars. He understands the romance of gritting your teeth and eking out a living in a space Western, but not the realities of it. Mars One seems to share similar problems of vision.

Eventually, I think that, among other possibilities, either grown-ups will step in with regulation, or the grown-ups will stay away in droves from either project.
No pop-up menus?
Made even funnier by the fact that parcels are one of the few places USPS actually makes money and has growing revenue.

I've been hearing this argument (Amazon is abusing the USPS) from a ton of my far-right family / acquaintances and I'm sure these claims will just amplify it.

With that said, if USPS really isn't making money on the parcels from Amazon they can and should raise their rates. And if doing that makes them no longer competitive with UPS and Fedex than so be it. That's how markets work. In the private sector it is usually illegal to sell for less than your cost to undercut competitors.

An interesting analysis: https://www.vox.com/2017/12/29/16830128/amazon-trump-twitter...

Another interesting article that says the post office loses money on Amazon because of the capital expenditure required to ship packages. But it strikes me that eventually that cost will be paid for:

The limited supply was really only a value proposition for a small group of people. Most are not interested in deflationary currencies.
I have the exact opposite experience, my rent is $50 more than it was when I moved here in 2011 and a lot less than I'd have to pay if I decided to move. Pretty sure I'm paying less for my 2 bedroom than they're charging for a 1 bedroom now.

Since I've been here the neighborhood has improved to the point that people actually want to live here and not, like when I originally moved in, a semi-OK neighborhood with cheapish rent where you probably won't have any hassles walking to the corner store at 3am.

Then again, I was talking to my landlord a while back and the city was complaining he wasn't charging enough (ie. wasn't paying enough taxes) but he would rather have good long-term tenants than charge "market rates" and deal with all the problems that come with that.
Haha no I initially purchased all the tokens in supply-chain related fields, but I sold them a while ago at a loss. It doesn't matter - I still think these projects are very relevant for the future.

I do not have the answers to your objections. I was replying to the common theme of "this is a solution is search for a problem". I am stating that there is a problem in search for a solution
You might want to look into VeChain then, which is a blockchain platform aimed at solving that exact problem, and is already being used by large customers such as DVG NL and China Tobacco. Jim Breyer and DFJ are both strong backers.

That's another thing that bugs the shit out of me, to the point that I made a passive-aggressive bug report out of it: The update process is 3-part, and two parts of them require your input after the first part, if your computer didn't automatically restart. First is the force shutdown "blue screen," which, with no restart, can leave your computer/laptop in a time-bomb "fuck you" state. Woops, forgot that the last time you turned off your computer, it was an update-shutdown? Hahaha, you need it for a presentation in five minutes? Jokes on you, we still have two update screens to go!

Then you have the black screen with the circle, and then the blue screens "we are configuring your updates and didn't touch your files".

It drives me insane.
Exactly this. Being able to crop is why I use a 42MP camera.
I was shocked and pleasantly surprised recently at $3 high quality plain tshirts (in multiple colors) that you can order online: http://www.michaels.com/apparel-crafts/t-shirts/876004921

I've always shopped at Salvation Army and other thrift stores, with occasional trips to malls to pick up Levi's Slim Straight jeans, but the last pair of those I bought from Amazon since I know my size. It's kind of been a revelation, and the big box stores are going to have to get creative to stay around I think. I used to be picky about favoring American Apparel shirts as well, in their heydey, but the ones I got from Michaels are surprisingly good.
Thousands of smaller transactions. You are buying USB keys with a set amount of Crypto. They can just assume 10% scam ratio and rise price by that.
Who had that much money to loan in the first place?
Oh hahah gotcha
Wrong country and maybe wrong company.

Apple pays so few taxes in Germany – approximated 2,8% taxes on their earnings – that the public is totally pissed (but it is for incomprehensible reasons legal). World wide Apple made ~62 billion dollar last year, but paid only ~25 million tax in Germany (0,2% of the total). At the same time they sell a lot of products here, this is so wrong. I guess Amazon is not better, but the real sinner is Apple.
Trust is fragile (2012)
I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought of this immediately after reading the article.

You mentioned another point that's worth investigating with this technology - some places see excessive rainfall to the point where it disrupts populated areas.

Perhaps in the long-term we can learn if there are specific areas these systems tend to draw from and determine how weather patterns contribute to that. Eventually, we may be able to use these systems in a way that takes just the right amount of excessive rainfall from areas where it's becoming a nuisance and evenly distributing them to areas where water is scarce.

One could hope that countries experimenting with this across the globe would be willing to find ways to make that happen, although that could create huge dependency chains that quickly fall apart as soon as one country backs out suddenly.

From Quora (https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-difference-between-genetic...):

"Genetic Algorithms (GA), characterized by a binary string representation of the candidate solutions.

Evolution Strategies (ES), which use vectors
of real-valued numbers as representation. One of the most famous ES is the CMA-ES , (Covariance Matrix Adaptation ES).

Genetic Programming (GP), one of the most recent techniques (1990s), that uses binary trees (or other complex structures, such as directed graphs) as internal representation of candidate solutions. This type of representation is incredibly powerful, as it allows for evolving almost everything, from Bayesian Networks to equations, from Assembly programs to gene regulatory networks."

Sometimes the high-resolution sensor is used in place of a zoom lens (i.e., use "digital zoom" to 1:1). This way the camera's primary lens is simpler because it has a shorter focal length and there's less to break down. Can probably bring the costs down a little too.

It's the downpayment on the legal fees for running an illegal lottery (random amounts of random currencies?) and an illegal money transmitting business.
Is it just Americans who got large houses while land is/was cheap-ish? I remember having to go on a work trip and staying overnight with a coworker in Reading, UK to make a morning train and was amazed at how small their house was for a family of four (and they said it was typical for Europeans) compared to how large the house I had back in Austin where I just bought something in a nice neighborhood and would have had to been an early adopter in the not so nice part of town to get a house as small as the UK one.
> Or legally change your last name?

I think there are laws (in most states?) against changing your name if you're a registered sex offender. But trying to get a job using a middle name instead of a first/last name is a decent idea.
I'm consistently baffled by MS. It employs some incredibly smart people, but reliably generates consumer products that are bywords for uninspired user hostility.
> They already took a few steps inside of Go to try to ensure that concurrency is quite non-deterministic

I would not be surprised as they are already proactively ensuring things like map ordering are randomised so that people just can't rely on some deterministic ordering: run the example code here[0] multiple times and it produces not just a seemingly random result (as would be for a typical hash table) but a truly different result for each run.

I don't know what "regular users" experience, because I'm a seasoned power user, but I agree. At home, I run things like Plex, Photoshop, Premier, Battlefield One, 1998 StarCraft, Spider Solitaire... they just work. I haven't had a real issue on my desktop, 3 laptops or 1 tablet (RT!) in a few years. (The last big issue was on a pre-release version of Windows 10.) At work I run all the .NET developer tools, alongside some front-end dev tools like Node and Grunt (what even are these things, I don't know, they work). Git, Chrome, Firefox, (Edge did have an issue with sharing an overloaded cache with IE, ew!) They just work. My biggest issue with my work machine is that it occasionally asks me to type in a 5 billion digit BitLocker key. But for the work I make it do, it works remarkably well, without complaint. shrug I am probably not a typical Windows OS user with typical experiences. But I do push my machines hard. (The corporate overlords have this machine running CrashPlan, Trend Micro.. but I run IIS, NodeJS, MongoDB, Bing Desktop, Visual Studio, Outlook, Word/Excel, Adobe Acrobat, SQL Server... the list goes on.)

My home desktop is a Phenom II w/ just 4GB. It has had Vista, 7, 8/8.1 and now 10 on it. I think I did a clean sweep with 7, but I've gone through all the upgrades since then, and it's still running pretty well. (It won't cold boot, but that's a motherboard hardware problem!) It's approaching 10 years old at this point. Of course it has an SSD (actually 3...) or it would be pretty painful to use. But it isn't, and that's pretty impressive.

A centralized server, just instead of Dropbox or Amazon, one you rent, is still better at that.
I gave up on Windows Search long ago. These days, I disable Windows Search indexing entirely, and use the Void Tools software called "Everything" - it needs a new name so you can use it as a verb (I Everythinged for the file sounds wrong), but other than that, it is a near-flawless, INSTANT search.

Once, I was searching and searching for a particular file, couldn't find it anywhere. Was starting to wonder if I had deleted it or lost it...so I went looking and found HN users referring to this Everything thing.

I installed it, checked the box for "run Everything now" on the finish wizard, the window loaded, I typed the name, and poof, there the file was, 27 (or whatever, way more than 5) directories deep. My jaw hit the floor, and the rest is history.
Top of the line tools really make a difference in photography. Back in 2007 when taking a photography class, you could see the difference in quality between a top of the line DSLR that some senior students had and point-and-shoot cameras without interchangeable lenses.

Even though the composition was good from both, the difference in quality really made you biased towards photos produced by the higher end gear. Depth of field, sharpness, noise, all those things.

And everything you mentioned as well - not having to take multiple shots, because you can always crop later, not having to get as close to the subject for people photography, so perhaps getting more shots.
You could try a Sigma. I love my DP3 Merrill (keeping in mind the inherent limitations).
You could argue that part of Amazon's success has been due to its helping customers evade state sales taxes. However, Trump has often talked about loosening libel laws because he thinks he is unfairly attacked by the press, and he dislikes the Washington Post, owned by Jeff Bezos. I don't trust Trump's objectivity on this issue, to put it mildly.
There's a big difference between a tool only sold to people in a specific industry, and not generally available, and a tool available at retail outlets which is meant to be used by the general public. (And with one thing you mentioned, C compilers, the tool itself isn't dangerous, but the artifacts you can create using the tool can be dangerous. This is why aerospace software, for example, has a lot of procedure around it.)
Do you know why it went offline? I'll assume lack of funding. What would be the best way to make a niche-app like this self-funding, given developers' aversion to ads? Donations?

Edit: this occurred to me after posting and may be more important than anything else: have you entirely stopped drinking (or using any intoxicants/drugs should IL join the legal pot states)?

If you have a history of getting drunk enough to show terrible judgement but haven't stopped drinking, then you're still showing terrible judgement.

Well, stay away from financial and medical - both are going to have background check requirements that may also explicitly bar felons. Anything handling cash or card payments is likely also out based on PCI.

I think the two things I'm going to suggest are setting up a company or at least a DBA (so searches are on the company name not yours) and focusing on things you can do that are outside company networks. Assuming you have technical skills appropriate to HN and some level of design skills, website development may be a place to start. Since you're in Chicago, I'd consider going to WordCamp Chicago in April - it's cheap and informative, even if you start out with static site generators and not WordPress (which has concerns of its own like needing updates and maintenance).
Interesting commentary. Are you a cosmologist?

> although there is plenty of indirect evidence from astrophysical observation

I'd be curious to see this if you have any links.

> it really depends on what one means by "low hanging". Above neutrino floor?

After reviewing this and neutrino masses, I see your point. Its hard to say.

I had a lumia 950 which had “only” a 20 MP sensor and the low light photography was stunning, better than what I saw with my own eyes in some cases. It was very slow though (even in daylight), which made it useless at action shots, so I guess other phones optimize for speed over image quality.

I did make some absolutely breathtaking landscape shots with that 950, and I’ve never made pictures that nice since switching to an iphone.
