The technical reasons why blockchain is overhyped are well-described by others, including this succinct presentation the other day: https://twitter.com/ncweaver/status/980485587827224577?s=21 .

But I suspect what really annoys people about blockchain is that it’s making lucky, foolish, or crooked people very rich. For now, anyway.

The lucky and the fools - who either got in super early, or spent a lot of their net worth on a speculative asset - now consider themselves geniuses and proselytize how blockchain is going to change the world. Worst example: crypto bro disaster capitalists in Puerto Rico. https://mobile.nytimes.com/2018/02/02/technology/cryptocurre...

The crooked - do I even need to explain?

PS: I’m not saying everyone who is into blockchain is lucky, foolish, or crooked. Just the vast majority at this time. Notable exceptions: some of the original Bitcoin developers, Vitalik Buterin, apparently the whole nation of Argentina (https://twitter.com/santisiri/status/980483903633977344?s=21), and some interesting projects like Filecoin.

PPS: I forgot the most annoying bitcoin supporters: anarchocapitalists. For them, it’s all about making money laundering go mainstream. These people cheer for the defunding of public institutions and the disenfranchisement of everyone who isn’t already in the 1%.

That being said, my parents are perfectly happy using Google chrome on 2gb ram with a core 2 duo. And that's not with only a few tabs.

I wonder if they'll ever turn comments back on, too?
Democrats should be willing to compromise because they value the DACA fix more than their opposition to border funding. They are instead doing the same thing Republicans did to Obama, refusing to compromise in order to whip up their base.

Any politician that compromises an inch these days will be portrayed as an immoral enemy and attacked by some vocal part of their own base.

Question here is, is it really that hard to go from night owl to morning lark or daytime finch...? I have done this myself just by adjusting my sleep schedule.
Compression isn't that hard. Having the best VQ is what matters, which makes having the best compression non trivial depending on the content being encoded. What is Two Orioles doing differently that the Elemental's and Harmonic's of the industry haven't done already?
The actual video they talked about is linked on this [1] page... It's mildly haunting to watch...

> And it does nothing to reduce trade deficit.

Sure, it does: net inbound capital flow is necessarily equivalent to trade deficit, so increasing net investment from US to China necessarily reduces the US-China trade deficit (or, increases the China-US one if you do enough of it.)

This is also why trade policy may not be the most effective mechanism to addressing as trade deficit (if you even need to address it, which is a different debate.) Instead, just address the pattern of domestic investment: the more domestic investment opportunity is taken by domestic investors, the lower the capital inflow and the lower the trade deficit.
I assumed the people who picked it up would have a plastic slip or something.

Other people in this thread said they took the mattress and donated it or recycled it.

I think you vastly oversimplify saying "faulty persons should not be celebrated..."

MLK Jr had, what I consider -- quite possibly with a modern mindset that people at the time wouldn't have shared -- certain personal failings, I have no problem celebrating his accomplishments without ignoring his problems. JFK, RFK, Ghandi or Mother Teresa. Alan Moore (gollywog?), Roman Polanski...should we be celebrating these people's achievements while they consistently ignore their abuses?

The problem, I believe, with John K, is (1) the extremeness of his personal/moral failures. We're talking about using and abusing underage girls, not consenting adults. That's exceptionally bad (^tm). Then (2), the relative dismissal of the problem up to this date. Maybe one day we can recognize what John K contributed to the art form despite the problematic personal/moral failings, but we need to get past those failings first -- justice, punishment, (in an ideal world -- hah!) rehabilitation. At best we're on step 1 here (recognize that there is a problem) and you're calling for forgiveness already? Whatever else, I say it's too soon.
> In 2018, the most popular resolution for users of Firefox is still 1366x768. And only 1920x1080 is making any headway against the dominance of 1366x768. As much as I am surrounded by the culture of multiple 4K+ displays, apparently this is not at all commonplace. 4K doesn't even get listed, presumably lumped into the "Other" category.

Most of the tasks in the real world doesn't need multiple 4K displays, including low level and systems development. Most people read stuff, and as a developer and system administrator, when the text is looking good, this means the resolution is enough.

> In 2018, the most popular memory amount for users of Firefox is still 4GB, trailed by the also disappointingly small 8GB. In my world, I consider 16GB a bare minimum, but at least with memory I haven't been deluding myself—I know many people economize on memory. Still, I would have thought 8GB was the most common memory size by now.

8 GB is more than enough for most people. My family's Win10 desktop is happy with 4GB, my office desktop is cozy with 8GB. My own desktop has 16GB of RAM, but it runs many, albeit small, virtual machines. "The hardware is cheap, let's waste it" mentality doesn't help anyone and it's wrong. I've written some state of the art algorithms which use 1.5MB of RAM and make the CPU scream for cooling (I develop high performance computing software as a side-academic gig), so like every resource, RAM should be used sparingly.

Edit: I've no comment for flash. I think it's a forgotten remnant of old systems.

That's not derailing, you are trying to split hairs to stifle discussion. Global media is pretty clearly biased against the current administration. It seems that Sinclair is the asymmetrical response. Discussing them in the larger context of the US news is completely valid.

If you think America being supplicated by an even larger power is going to be good for the countries historically oppressed by America... you might be surprised. China's "Latin America" is Africa, they have little use for the actual Latin America.

Imagine the US being nuked as "a taste of their own medicine" for previously being the only country to use nukes... how would that work out for developing countries? I would guess not well. Not well at all. Just like a nuclear war impacts more than just the countries fighting, a trade war between two superpowers is going to hurt the developing world far more than it will hurt the US or China.

Hell, cruise control in a Hyundai actually alarms and brakes if you try to drive into a stationary object. But they don't have Saint Elon at the helm...
U.S. banks will never, ever do this. It's a violation of KYC anti-money laundering rules. They simply won't get involved. You should be able to use the attorney trust accounts of the law firm that set up your company, but you won't have control.
More easily gamed, I'd think. Also, if you remove the curators (journals), then people looking for research in the first place (who are driving the ones arxiv stats) won't know where to look first.
Then recognize that it’s not a good position, and what happens when you don’t have leverage to effect change. The US still has leverage, but for how long? The US government has a fiduciary duty to the American people to make sure this doesn’t happen even if it means I can’t afford the top of the line iPhone.
I had thought of this after my original comment. Windows provides a slightly different set of assumptions that a traditional UNIX-like platform. Mainly, that piping is not as common and the chances that the operating system the tool is deployed on will be used as a server at much reduced. There are a couple middle-ground solutions which might be worth exploring:

- Only build that functionality on windows. Optionally, provide two packages for windows, one with URL fetching and one without it.

- Provide a flag that enables/disables the feature. Either default toit off and allow it to be enabled with a flag (and a helpful error message if oyu attempt to use it without a flag) or vice-versa.

- Do nothing. In the end, it's an entirely valid decision to leave it as it is unchanged. I thought it was something worth discussing, both for this tool and for the larger trend in general, but that doesn't mean the problem is so large that it makes the tool unusable until addressed.

In any case, thanks for making this. The simplicity and obvious usefulness of this tool means that as someone who deals with JSON quite often, generally in an archived form where I care about one or two entries in lists of hundreds, I imagine I'll be finding lots of use for it in the future.

In the U.S., many of them are mining and selling our data. Getting off of their DNS service is one step in mitigating this.

Also, as others mention, they can and do monkey with the results.

In other words, here, your ISP is in part a hostile entity. At least, in my perception -- and I'm not alone.

P.S. Of course, there's the argument against giving Google all your DNS usage, as well... I use a different DNS service from a company with a good reputation that says it's not collecting usage data. Even then, and with the state of our State, who knows...

Mostly they jump on hype train. Few months back it was netflix stack now it seems they are moving to something else. My main work is on a large(ish) application which is in production long before merger. So for now I am not forced on to jump on their architectural astronautery. I just play around with other technologies etc.
Does anyone have any information on how Scruff handles that information? Also, does HIPAA say anything about technology companies outside of the medical field's data that may voluntarily collect HIV status?
At least they try, I guess. Nobody's perfect.
I definitely agree with this article and believe that life is short, but it's also a good idea to relax and not worry about it all too much. I think the relaxing and having a piece of mind is undervalued by most people. It helps you have a better quality life however short it is. Remember that the time you spend on worrying about how short it is is also part of your life which you are kind of wasting. Having said that I agree that we should consider the bullshit in our life and cut in favor of things that we really want to do, because at the end life is to short for that.
Maybe "relative to the JS ecosystem" instead?
...which is different than dictating.

I'm not so sure. It really could just be a symptom of the fact that it's hard to make money on local news, because people get their news elsewhere now, so costs have be be kept low. This means getting stories from news services, and automating as much as possible.
Handling hard, inane, stupid questions (from your perspective) is a part of life. If you can learn to do it with grace and insight you are off to a great start. There are reasons people may be asking these questions. Why assume that the reasons are so obvious? Take a moment and try to answer this question in a positive way without hostility or hubris. Don't take the bait and don't assume that what everybody only wants is your intellect. Most companies want to avoid assholes as much as they want to select the best.

Your definition of free press ignores the impact of government involvement in the press and preferential treatment it confers on specific organizations. Where the government favors one media/press organization and gives preferential treatment, every non-preferred media outlet is less free because they are constrained in ways the preferred outlet is not.

You're right it's not inherently virtuous to go against the Government's views. But it is inherently bad to push government views in exchange for preferential treatment which is what appears to be happening here and with the National Enquirer.

If you are concerned about a free press, you should be equally concerned about the commingling of government and press such that the government captures certain media properties and converts them to state run media. Free press means a separation of government and press; any governmental involvement damages a free press.
