Complete guide to Proof of Stake – Ethereum’s latest proposal
Though I could be mistaken, I believe it's different as it's enterprise-focused and aimed at checking potential employees rather than tenants.

You do not need to install the reddit apps ever. You can sign up, and use it, through their web interface.

In fact when I use reddit from my phone (through Firefox) I force it to use the non-mobile version as I find it much faster (as long as you open every link in a new tab).
The UK is at a bad latitude for launching into equatorial orbits, but a good latitude for launching into polar orbits.

Polar orbits, and their relatives, such as sun-synchronous orbits, are useful for various kinds of missions. For example, earth observation missions, because they overfly every point on Earth, and missions where you need a continuous view of the sun, for solar power or observation.
I totaly agree. I started to use bing news at the time. Even if they don't offer multiple sources for each story, they offer sources that are more diverse (ie, not just the biggest news provider).
> I am in the early stages (just a few months in) and I am hoping to work towards this level.

Congrats!

> How long did it take for you to go from a few stable clients to too much work to handle?

About 4 years. It's definitely a long game. The first years were pretty rough. Although, to be fair, I started doing work right in the middle of a recession.

Good luck! Also, I'm happy to answer any other questions you might have. Feel free to contact me directly, too (email in profile).
Combined with cars that reside in remote places to pick you up on demand. Then our cities will have more spaces that is currently occupied by parking.
This is a really good point. I agree it's a better use of energy to work on side projects while your work-life is stable, rather than injecting stress into your life.
Look man, you don't need to care. That's the nice thing about politics, you don't need to care about anything.

Lots of us do, because the fact that the three richest people in America own as much as the poorest half combined tells us that the laws that govern our playing field may not be presenting a particularly fair or level playing field, despite claims that anyone can work hard and win at life.

Wealth inequality is a problem for those of us who do care because we want a society that actually does work for everyone in some semblance of similar proportion, not one in which everything is peachy for a few, miserable for the rest; this one doesn't seem like it is.

Again, you don't have to care.

What UI/UX problems does Usenet have?

My impression was that Usenet was abandoned mostly because it had a ton of spam, and at the time there was no good solution to that.

These days, spam is not nearly as much of a problem, so the only obstacles to its adoption of it are most users' ignorance of it, their psychological dependence on their web browsers as their primary online communicaton tool, and most importantly the network effects of reddit and other web forums being much more popular.
Hah, that made my day :)
According to State Farm, completely rebuilding my apartment is would be 1/7th of what I paid for it, and that's with NYC union labor.

There's a reason that crackhouses in Vancouver cost $1 million, and it's not because they're made of gold. You need to build density to reduce the share of land cost per dwelling, anything else is a gimmick.
+1 for "find a mentor outside of the company to lean on"

I'm an experienced manager, but this is still a hugely important point. Mentor relationships are really underrated.
If the new company did the r&d costs then great! That'll force competition into the market and drive prices down.

It they stole the IP I'm very sad to see that. Drugs are incredibly expensive to prove they work and they're safe. If we want to continue to receive new cures, we have to let drug companies recoup their costs.

The drug patent process definitely needs reform. Eventually these drugs ought to become public domain as everything does so we can advance humanity. I feel a lot better patent system for drugs would be 10-15 years after the drug is approved, with a capped provisional during the process. I feel like the strikes a balance between allowing companies to safely research and protect their cost but also will allow generics to enter the market eventually.

To be honest, it looks like a great service and I think the name has probably made me look on it with a more favourable eye as it doesn't seem to have been a deliberate insult. But rather an unfortunate translation between languages, there are only so many vowel sounds to go around after all.

I'm aware this is probably a niche opinion. But Hayhoe.
Its possible that some mundane examples will be automated, but the law is not a deterministic code that can simply be interpreted and executed. Automation may make the job less tedious and might reduce the numbers of lawyers needed (or more likely, paralegals).
In fact who care most about cost actually have a perverse incentive to increase costs!

Health insurance is tied to your job, and your company pays most of the costs for you. If you choose to get your own insurance you don't get to take the amount your company pays, so you cannot afford to. This ties you to your company making it harder to just leave, first you have to find a new job. The more prices go up the harder it is to leave and live off your savings for a few months.

Obama promised "if you like your insurance you can keep it". However what wasn't said is "if hate your insurance you have no choice but to keep it". I don't like my insurance, but since I otherwise like my job there is nothing I can do about it.

Until the government changes the above prices will get higher.

Exactly.

Everyone thinks that the main competitor for building communities is Facebook.com. But fbook.com does not build communities, they digitize existing ones.

So all these new apps come out with "better facebooks" not realizing (or accepting) that they already exist as Twitter, Reddit, and Instagram. These existing platforms are very good at true connection and community building.

How does "Hello" fit into that?
I remember seeing this same conclusion from a study over 5 years ago. That one also mistook correlation for causation.

Unfortunately, Voat suffers from a problem that all "free speech" platforms do: the extreme, obnoxious behaviour of mainly national socialists and paedophiles drive out all normal, tactful users...leaving only very fringe and distasteful users. It's practically unusable because of its hands-off moderation.
So it seems the theory here is that strong AI whose primary objective is to make money is ultimately self destructive?
Anecdotally, from family members in the medical industry who work with low income patients, people on welfare (who could otherwise work) don't seem to have very fulfilling lives. I think it's pretty clear that people need something to work for or towards in order to find some sort of meaning in their life.
The feature of things like bitcoin that they operate largely outside government control may be useful for things like raising investment in ICOs. While many are rubbish there may be some useful stuff in there.
You're right. But you're going to have to change the whole of society to achieve that end - from the law, through planning and building, through entertainment, shopping and all, to farming, ... the whole kaboodle.

I lived car free in a small industrial UK city, we couldn't manage that with kids (too expensive for one).

Bus seats are awful, why?, because they're made vandal resistant (and hard wearing). They're too small for a lot of people now as well. So you need to remodel buses IMO; your going to need to be hotter on vandals, so change the approach of the courts. Things bifurcate across areas of society like that: Supermarkets, houses, zoning, etc. all are designed with mass car ownership as a central tenet.
What the heck, why did I think Pocket Casts wasn't available on iOS? I've used it in the browser and on my Android phone for years...
I don't really agree about pushing hard on Material Design. Sure, the current widget situation might be skewed towards Material components and Cupertino is lacking. For Material widgets, they've implemented almost everything, even the most obscure ones. But I think they're pushing more for customized UIs. Meaning, UIs that don't look Material or Cupertino, but are more of a branded experience, think Spotify, Tinder, Snapchat, etc. Designs that don't really conform to Material or iOS design languages. The Hamilton app is a good example of this. Sadly, I'm not a UI designer so I went with Material Design on this inKino app since that's an easy route for me.

With your other points, I generally agree. Didn't mean to imply that it "just works" 100% of the time. But compared to other cross-platform dev tools / SDKs I've used, I feel like Flutter does such a great job in the tooling department.
I believe only about a third of big fortunes are inherited.

Taxing the rich is fine, we just need politicians to show a bit of spine and do it. Most rich folks aren't going to pick up and move because they make their money tied to the place they are now. There's a handful of high-profile exceptions, but that's all those folks are; exceptions. Most rich people will stay put and complain and pay the tax.
Bloat is what you get when your software has to face the real world.

Yes the Linux kernel is bloated, bloated with tons of code responsible for making it work on exotic hardware. Yes x86 is bloated, let's just remove those useless AVX instructions. Yes MS Excel is bloated, who the hell is using all those features [1]?!

You can only have two alternatives : either your software is “bloated”, or then it will be replaced by something else, which is more “bloated” and works for more people.

Notice than I'm just criticizing the “bloat” argument, I'm just not criticizing Google for creating a new OS from scratch, which can bring a lot on the table, if done properly and includes innovations from the past 30 years, like was done when creating Rust for instance.

Interestingly (to me), they seem to be doing at least some of their design in Solidworks:

https://www.reactionengines.co.uk/manufacturing-solutions-division/
"Our drawing data is produced to British standard BS 8888 using
industry leading SolidWorks 3D CAD package, which integrates directly
with our CNC machines and inspection department."

Was kind of expecting they'd be using something more specialist or exotic. But, I guess as long as it gets the job done, why not? ;)

I think it's more about corporate sponsorship and branding.

Angular is seen as "The Google Solution" (disregarding that Google doesn't actually use it as much as people think). React is seen as "The Facebook Solution". Ember is more decentralized, and lacking a strong primary champion/sponsor. Something that developers SAY we like in open source projects, but which frankly doesn't really match our actions so much.

I chuckled a bit at the parent comment, but I won't say that logos don't matter to front-end developers (half of the HN discussion threads about a link seem to be about its font and CSS choices rather than its substantive content). But that's only a slice of what I think is the overall reason. Ember just doesn't have strong corporate brand muscle behind it.
I switched away from Android phones in the "Stagefright" aftermath. My device was only three years old but the only response to my requests for an update was "Get a new device". So I did.

> Taxing the rich seems to be one of the hardest things in the world to do. They can afford the best lobbyists to influence politicians to write loopholes in whatever laws you can think of to tax them

More to the point, they can hire the best propagandists to spread the idea that it's too hard to tax them and you should do something else.
That certainly seems to be the story with me -- not drugs, per se, but general greediness and over-stimulation puts me on a ~24.5 hour cycle. When the mind is making a lot of noise it's harder to get to sleep and it takes more sleep to recover.

That said, I suspect there's no fundamental reason why a night owl can't become a morning lark if he sincerely wants to.

As various people have pointed out, as a matter of realpolitic the UK will have very little choice in complying with most directives because the alternative of maintaining two markets or not shipping to the EU are infeasible. The requirement of not having a hard border in Ireland which the UK has already conceded means that Northern Ireland will almost certainly have to follow EU directives.

Realistically the options are "disaster Brexit" (fail to make other trade arrangements, lose NI and Gibraltar, huge airline losses, shutdown of nuclear reactors run by EDF, etc) or "pointless Brexit" (everything remains roughly the same, except the UK loses its vote)
No, I'm quite serious. Can you explain why you think that? What aspects of New Zealand's government do you favor over the US? And to maintain a balanced view, are there any aspects of it that you'd criticize?
Counting calories works. A calorie can't become more than it is, just less if the body can't use it for some reason.

Worst case you will feel hungry if you eat the wrong calories, but you will definitely lose weight.
What is financial security but the ability to afford to pay for one’s needs? Automation in farming has cut the price of calories, and perhaps too automation in other sectors will reduce the cost of living. Automation in medicine could be a big help for costs.

Unfortunately though, housing cannot be automated and that is very expensive. Though much of housing costs, at least for new builds, is from regulations and labor. Reduce regulations with better governance, and reduce labor with automation (3D printed houses?), and you’re on your way to part of a solution.
The problem I have is that I am comfortable using either, but can't really understand the long-term implication of my choice. Obviously I can change the tech later, but with it being money I see the switching cost being much larger than normal. It's about wanting to minimize risk now as much as possible with view to future development on the platform.
You are welcome, happy to help :)
Without knowing your use case it is hard to say

1) do you want to do more native stuff, do you need the additional performance.
2) or are you just building any web capable user interface
3) do you need to simultaneously push to web and native
4) do you need to push to both ios and Android
5) Finally layer in the talent of your team, what are their strengths, you pick the lowest common denominator.

As you start talking in terms of functionality, platform and team strength you will start to answer that question yourself
They weren't compensating them to fill scripts for the generic. She made more frequent visits to top producers based on filled prescriptions. I asked her how she knew who to visit and she said she was emailed regional reports with prescription numbers.

I don't know how those reports are generated. Do pharmacies report that information back to pharmaceutical companies? Are they based off of shipments to regions?

How big is your team? To be honest, I am most excited about closing about 2 more sales (at this rate we close about 1 per month) and having the cash to hire help.

We most need it in our content and sales efforts. These would speed up our growth like crazy.

Do you still do the work yourself or do you just manage?
I think this is the biggest part, and less the "sleep in your car while you commute for 5 hours each way!" which sounds fucking terrible.

Imagine the amount of space and time saved by having 1 enormous lot on the outskirt of town, like an airport. You walk around your dense urban area, call your car, 10 minutes it's there, it drops you off, and parks itself. No circling the block, no terrible big box concrete hellscapes, just Park Slope without the frustration.

Whether something is a dialect or a language from a shared lineage is a difficult distinction, even in natural languages.

Shanghainese is called a Chinese dialect, but it is a Wu language. It is not a dialect of Mandarin (aka the Beijing dialect), but it certainly is a dialect of a common "Chinese" language, even though it is a descendent of a language family that is not most closely related to Mandarin.

Even speaking of a functional/imperative divide is not necessarily a useful property when talking about Lispy languages. Where would you put Scheme (it's neither fully on the functional side nor does it feel at home on the imperative side). You could just as well make a distinction between Lisp 1 and 2 languages and use that as the primary discriminator.

The term "dialect" is fuzzy when applied to different spin-offs from a common pool.

(I do agree with you that they have not much in common, but often they were lifted from the same soup of ideas.)
It could have been all of those things, but the real reason was to keep Visual Studio fast.

Here's a rather opinionated blog post on the subject, from one of the people originally responsible for making the call: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/ricom/2015/12/29/revisiting...

In a nutshell, his position was basically, "If you can't do what Visual Studio needs to do in 4GB (four gigabytes!) of RAM, you really need to think a little bit harder about your data management."

I personally didn't have a terribly strong opinion either way, up until about a year ago when I switched to Java and started using IntelliJ on a daily basis. Now I have come to agree quite vehemently with Mariani's opinion on the subject.
I literally just wrote my first ROM that displays a green box on a black background working on my retropie machine last night.

The NES homebrew scene is pretty cool and the tools and languages have come a long way. One interesting avenue that might be work exploring is to use code generation and CSPs to generate and shrink code.

It's a lot of fun. It's why I like the PICO8. Constraints are interesting.

I just wish I still had my old BASIC code for games I made on my Amiga back in the day...
EASTL mostly doesn't have this problem because it as far as possible is a compliant implementation of the STL with a few specific extensions, mostly around memory management. It's not a library that provides STL-like functionality with a different API. Much of the custom allocator stuff has finally now been superseded with polymorphic allocators in C++17.
