I find it funny that the AVGN is featured; he's been making that face since before YouTube's been monetizing. He may be the originator of the phenomenon.

It used to be that in order to drive clicks you needed to have female cleavage in your thumbnail. One YouTuber (RadicalSoda) still includes an image of a cartoon woman showing generous cleavage in each of his videos, despite himself being the only person actually appearing in most of them.

And then there's YouTube voice. I don't even think I can imitate it but there's a distinctive cadence and inflection that YouTubers seem to have embraced. I once saw a ten-year-old use it in a toy-company-sponsored video. Yes, ten-year-old kid paid to hawk toys on YouTube instead of just playing with them or whatever. Then again, we have stories of some Hackernews hearing their 3-year-old use "don't forget to like and subscribe!" as a farewell.

You wrote bitkeeper? Well of course you are biased against Git - it was basically Linus's middle finger to your business model
In case of some of the any currency - the volume that flows through it.

If Ethereum is a go-to place to do equity crowdfunding in the future, and we estimate the volume of such operations at $120B a year, then - assuming it takes a month from the moment someone buys ETH to invest in an ETO, to the moment a startup sells it for a fiat money, Ethereum's market cap will need to be at least $10B to fulfil that need, and that would be a cap bottom then.

On top of that, there will be other uses, and of course speculation/hype factor, which you can count in as well.

Now, with the advent of stable coins, it's possible that most of the ETOs won't be funded using Eth, but a dollar derivative (e.g. MakerDAO), or a token represented by a locked-up asset (e.g. Digix). Right now MakerDAO uses Eth as a backing, so it doesn't change the math, but if the Digix model proves successful, it affect this calculations.

Another line of reasoning for Eth is that you have transaction fees, and here again you can easily calculate the money velocity, and a potential volume flowing through the system.

Finally, when PoS arrives, Eth will yield de facto dividends - that's planned to happen within a year, although it has been postponed a few times already.

For other cryptocurrencies - MakerDAO, Digix, or Ocean have economies that can be calculated in a similar way. A plenty of other ones to.

Now, if you say that there is a low chance of such projects being successful - keep in mind that all these projects aim high. If there is 1% probability that BananaCoin will really help people grow bananas, it will deserve a $100M valuation, since it will be worth $10B in case of success.

Oh oh, in case of some projects, if not most, their book to equity rate is very high by Wall Street's standards. Golem may seem overpriced with their $200M valuation (that is - you believe they either have <1% of success, or their target market cap is <$10B), until you realise they have around $100M-$150M in assets after their ICO. That's a lot of money they can spend to deliver the value.
Facebook's agenda at that point was get as many developers onto their platform by enticing them with all this access to "data people gave away".
The senators involved with the hearing certainly had some good questions, but some of the topics appeared scattershot and could have benefited from a narrower focus on FB's data collection and technical issues, though obviously the Senators and staff would need to understand the issues at a deeper level. However, touching on the issue of data ownership and the terms of service for both FB and Kogan's app was a somewhat interesting and satisfying portion of the hearing.

By far the dumbest questions through the entire meeting, though:

Sasse: "Do you hire consultants to tell you how to tap into dopamine feedback loops to keep people addicted?"

and (this one had me rolling)

Senator Deb Fischer: "How many categories of data do you collect for all 2bn users?"

Zuckerberg: [acts confused]

That said, perhaps Zuckerberg's vague and generic answers could have been a result of ill preparation on -his- side, too. The CEO, while the head of a company is only involved so much in the day-to-day issues and goings-on. As the spokesperson, he didn't do much by way of transparency or work to improve FB's reputation today. Maybe some technical staff should additionally be interviewed. A list of potential topics prepared by staffers, to be discussed at the hearing would help Zuckerberg in figuring out what information he should know.
Like I replied to a sibling comment, I simply want to save time and money doing so (not having to pay a monthly fee for using a bank would go a long way towards the latter).

I've wondered if a solutions is to allow prostitution 'brothels' as legitimate businesses by those prosituting like Amsterdam or in a legalized Red Light District or even operate as semi government owned and taxed like they do weed (still in the works) and alcohol in ontario canada.

It would take out all of the danger and illegality as for example one doesnt go into shady corners or connections to buy cigarettes or alcohol like weed because its legalized and policed correctly.
I think the point is they don't know in advance what the query is and they didn't think they had a good solution to optimize all user entered variants across the range of possible groupings so they wanted a solution that was easier to optimize globally.

The general form of this is:

Select loyaltyMemberID
from table
WHERE V1_1= x_1 OR ... OR V1_n=x_n)
AND (V2_1 = x_2_1 OR V2_2=x_2_2 OR ... V2_n=x_2_n)
AND ...
AND (Vn_1 = x_n_1 OR ... OR Vn_n= x_n_n)
(some of these n's should actually be m_i's but I was lazy)

There may be some ability to optimize this in a number of ways but optimizing one example is not optimizing the general form. I can easily see how technology change could be a cleaner solution.

Git doesn't do that. Perforce and TFS definitely will. The very moment I add something to the index it's basically recoverable. I'm not sure what you're really getting at here.

The Libertarian Who Accidentally Helped Make the Case for Regulation
You're talking to the guy that created that concept [1]. I get that changesets are cool :) You're right, you do want to see all that info together.

But lots of times you want to look at the file view, find the line of code that looks like the problem, and then zoom out to the changeset. BK makes that trivial, Git makes that miserable to impossible.

[1] Actually there was a little known system, Aide-de-camp, that one of my people told me about that had changesets so I didn't invent it, but I reinvented it. And made the world aware of the concept. Back when you could search Usenet via dejanews you could search for "changeset" and date limit it to before me talking about it. There were maybe 5 hits. A few years after BK came along there were 100's of thousands of hits. So I wasn't first but I am definitely the reason that you know what a changeset is.
One of the things that I look at is the timeline of other version control systems. http://blog.plasticscm.com/2010/11/version-control-timeline.... has one such (its a decade old, but then we're talking about things that are two decades old here...)

In the 90s we had cvs and perforce... and then svn. Then there was BitKeepr. From what I can read of history, 2002 to 2005 Linux was under BitKeeper and then in 2005 that relationship soured and Linus went off to write Git. At the same time there was a large growth of other version control systems. The graphic shows bazaar, darts, hg, plastic and then Fossil is also in there.

Even at 2006 when Fossil was released, there wasn't significant mindshare on any of those platforms yet. Why use git? It wasn't even a year old when Fossil was released.

The migration of SQLite to Fossil (from CVS) was done in 2009.

That's several years after the software was written that SQLite switched to it. I wouldn't exactly put that in the place of dogfooding. It kind of is - but Fossil was a mature project when SQLite shifted its codebase.
But someone could pay you for your exported Facebook data (which can include data from friends such as your message history, etc). From my understanding, this is essentially what CA did. CA just obfuscated they were doing this by using the Facebook developer program to automate this process and Mechanical Turk to pay users to give them their data. I agree the Facebook developer program made it really easy to phish for this data.
> Edit: I've just read the query in the post again and I really can't understand why you would write it like that. Am I missing something here?

Oh I've seen this happen a lot. Somewhere along the line, often from a DBA, it is decided that sql in an app is evil and that everything must be in a stored proc. Then instead of some simple string concatenation you have to jump through hoops like this.
Except that almost everyone has one and there is barely an opt out. G+ is insidious in a way.

I think this is a case for the return of the traditional "sysadmin" as "devops"/"SRE" is now the role of unblocking deploying a solution instead of questioning it's complexity/fitness.
> Git won not because it was that much better than the others. It won because the Linux kernel uses it.

This is a pretty silly assertion to make. You're actively ignoring the SCM's that were chosen by far larger org's. Git took the dev world by storm because it was better. Not because an open source OS used it. Other SCM's had years worth of developer training and interaction with their systems and STILL lost. Years worth of sales connections, demos, networking, you name it and STILL lost.

>They are also losing work because git makes it easy to shoot yourself in the foot

The article says it should be required to submit a paper in the first place - I'd imagine that'd be incentive enough.
I've never played with this, but couldn't you create a table based on the dataset that the customers upload, and let your database engine handle filtering those queries? From the looks of it, even if they were doing full table scans for each query, it'd still be faster than all those unions...

Good point. I’ll have to think it over a bit. Since I have all the info should be very easy to fix up the data. Just time consuming
Well, at least they're honest about it. It's a shame the people under can't be as open.
> There may be some ability to optimize this in a number of ways but optimizing one example is not optimizing the general form.

I totally get that, but isn't that the point of the query optimizer within the database itself? Why are you trying to outwit it? It should select the right indexes, provided the columns are indexed, and "do the right thing(tm)". It might take a bit of cajoling but they seem pretty good at this. Postgres collects statistics about the distribution of values themselves within the table to guide its choice of index, so in theory it could rewrite the boolean logic to use a specific index if it's sure that it will eliminate a higher % of the rows than another plan.

In any case, it seems the SQL they posted is a bit off. Why nest each individual filter as a UNION? If you wanted to go down the UNION route couldn't you do each individual group as a UNION, with standard WHERE filters?

I'm only seeing two major rises when looking at the price chart (ALL). 2011 didn't make it past $20 and and 2013 was its rise to the Mt. Gox scam.

Tuples don't really count. For performance computing you really want arrays to have mutable contents.

Julia's notation is incredibly math-oriented.

f(x) = x+1
f(3) #==> 4

M = [2 0
0 2]
v = [1,2]

M * v #==> [2, 4]

v' * v #==> 5
v' * M * v #==> 10

Note some subtleties:

m = reshape([1,2],(2,1)) #==> 2x1 matrix

m' * m #==> [5]
m' * M * m #==> [10]

Around 2011+ we saw not only quiz apps but also offerings such as "See who views your profile" that would result in an OAuth authorisation. How long were those authorisations active before being revoked? How much data was exfiltrated, then and since, and to whom?

If it wasn't for recent changes to authorisations being suspended after a period of time these tokens could be seemingly worth something to the right person.

The root problem being, average users don't know what they're giving access to and know why its important to be critical of such access.

People used git because it was a tool that solved some SCM headaches. People use it now because it solved some headaches and because of the network effect.

I think Git won because it was superior to CVS and SVN. I don't think it won because it was better than BitKeeper, Fossil or Mercurial.

Lastly, does anybody have experience with git merges and BitKeeper merges? You make it sound slow, but it also sounds like you've never used it.
> If you don't need a distributed system, I'd argue that Subversion is at least as sane as anything else

Oh my yes. Binary diffs were lovely. Also, support for large assets.

For reproducible data science work, you’re going to need at least code and data. One of those things is a total PIA with git if the data aren’t trivially small.

I wonder how fossil does in this regard...
Curious, I found the economist's (Alex Tabarrok) response to the article about himself:

https://marginalrevolution.com/marginalrevolution/2018/04/ec...

The concluding paragraph is important:

----

"Let me conclude on a lighter note. There are many reasons why regulation could be costly outside of its effects on dynamism. Thus, for my friends who think that I have gone all-squishy, n.b.: 'Not that Tabarrok himself has become a booster for regulation. He doesn’t think much of government’s ability to spark innovation through setting standards; the first thing he did when he last bought a new shower head, he said, was remove its federally mandated flow restrictor.'"

"Nobody really understands git" is the truest part of that. While hyperbolic, it really has a lot of truth.

It's always a bit frustrating when working with a team because everyone understands a different part of git and has slightly different ideas of how things should be done. I still routinely have to explain to others what a rebase is and others have to routinely explain to me what a blob really is.

In a team of the most moderate size, teaching and learning git from each other is a regular task.

People say git is simple underneath, and if you just learn its internal model, you can ignore its complex default UI. I disagree. Even just learning its internal model leads to surprises all the time, like the blobs that I keep forgetting why aren't they just called files.
The user data is most likely in rows instead of columns.
Instead of having

id, name, age, gender
1213, fake, 60, female

they would have

property_id, user_id, value
1 (assume age), 1213, 60
2 (gender), 1213, female

This gives them the freedom to add more properties to the user without always having to add a column to the users table. When querying the database you'll have to do unions or joins.
In case of the top ~100 cryptos/tokens, there is usually an external factor.

Besides that, the distinction between speculation and investment is not as clear as you say.

By your definition, there is no such thing as "investing in art" - only "art speculation".

The definition of investment/speculation I prefer is whether the asset purchase is based on economic reasoning, or emotional reasoning. The latter is people buying "because the charts are growing", or "because the market is hot but will be hotter", or using technical analysis voodoo.

If you have a basis for your purchase price that is not connected to historic price charts, you're an investor.
That type of thinking has pushed entrepreneurs and businesses to move to more friendly and competitive states.

It's simply a bad policy to start aspiring small businesses in debt. $800 isn't much to many of us on here but it is for a lot of people that want to be entrepreneurs in different fields from different backgrounds. Most businesses have other startup costs as well.

California already has the highest state income taxes. The privilege of doing business here is already accounted for. The franchise tax fee is just a bad policy and it's regressive.
The Twilio SIM card is not as useful as you might expect. Unfortunately, Twilio cannot receive SMS messages from short codes [1], which are often used used by the kinds of places (banks etc) that rely on SMS for 2FA.

Also, keep in mind that an adversary can grab your text messages even without any social engineering skills; they just need to rent a cell tower somewhere in the world and advertise your number as roaming there [2]

As you implied, it is probably safer to use a different number than your main one for SMS-based 2FA (the much-maligned security through obscurity), but before you go out and buy a second phone plan, consider issues such as whether you will be able to receive SMS messages while traveling internationally.
