What I was trying to communicate is that Science makes mistakes. Such is life. However, Science makes no effort to own those mistakes.

If your sig other __from your pov__ constantly "deceives" you, what happens?

Science is oblivious to the __cumulative__ effect its process has on belief, trust, etc. The irony of this truth baffles me.
I'd love to see the same thing done with an Arduino Mega and a wi-fi shield. It would be a much cleaner build since most arduino boards are 5V standard.

But then I'm sure you'd pay for it in the hairiness of the aruduino/led board interface, haha.
Really looking forward to trying this out on my Windows box at home. About twice a year I look for good terminal programs for it and it seems nearly impossible. To this day I just have a bunch of Git Bash windows running...
I think it's safe to say that today any "evidence" without verifiable provenance can be entirely ignored. Absolutely anything can be forged, and in many cases using consumer PCs and readily available software.

That means anonymous evidence or evidence with dodgy sources has zero credibility whatsoever.
Perhaps. I know at least three retirees doing that (spending winters with their family abroad), and apparently there's a term for it in the UK ("mouseholing"), but I can't find any statistics.
There is a related anecdote in "The Sports Gene" that suggests that MLB hitters do not track the ball in flight, but instead react to the pitchers' arm motion. As a result they have trouble hitting a motion they haven't visually trained against:

Wouldn't it be great if we had some ML to transform unnecessary sarcasm?

> RFC processes don't always keep things from having compatibility issues. XML based standards like SOAP or XSLT had many issues.

It would make the internet seem much less passive aggressive. Sarcasm is often just a thin, bitter encoding over simple statements.
Seems different than 9-1-1 operators, who are responsible for passing information to first responders. These autonomous car operators would make decisions such as “go ahead and ignore the construction cones.” They won’t simply say, “okay, I’ll send a police crew out to the intersection to triage the confusing construction cones.”
The whole tracking thing should be outlawed in my opinion.

It's like saying that because windows are transparent, it is ok to stare into people's living rooms. It's not - irrespective of transparency or lack of curtains.

In a world where that is clearly not ok, then why is it that this kind of thing (tracking) is deemed ok?

What we need is something that does to our online privacy, what curtains did for peoples real privacy. And, although I fear that this is not technically possible, the absence of the possibility of such protections, still does not make tracking right.
With matched contributions it's a hard choice. You are effectively buying stock at a huge discount, having up to say say 20% of your savings in the company stock is very likely to be a good idea. You just need to be selling it ASAP.
Not sure that's universally a good idea. Rank-and-file may still have inside information that makes holding stock advantageous (obviously adhering to any applicable insider trading rules). If your skillset is highly portable, you can probably consider your income decoupled from your employer. Your equity with your employer could then be considered high-risk moonshot investment.

But I certainly agree that your core nest egg and growth investment be kept totally decoupled.
> PoW

I don't know any private blockchain solution in the supplychain space that uses PoW. There are more ways to form consensus.

> This is genuinely amusing to me. I feel like in these discussions you can replace "blockchain" with "philosopher's stone", like it's some kind of magical element that solves problems using the power of dreams and internet memes.

You can use any type of software, as long as it has one clear picture of what the current status is (a database would work, 100 different databases would not work). A bulk of commodity trading is a done on paper right now, because no one wants to trust a single party to hold this database. I am not familiar with fruits but I work in soft and hard commodities (anywhere from grains to beans to oil to metals) and everyone is looking into distributed systems to solve this exact trust issue. But maybe all these companies should hire you to build a mysql database instead I guess?

> One of our contractors adds a transaction to our chain saying "we're sending you the container #12 containing bananas". Then almost at the same time an other contractor in the same area says "we're sending you the container #12 containing lemons".

Those are two different transactions, I don't know any type of software that wouldn't compute that you get 12 bananas and 12 lemons? I guess I'm not understanding what you are trying to say.
If you want to go for lowest cost possible, you can find tons of cheap hardware on AliExpress (search for "8ch logic analyzer", they go around 10 bucks).

While these vendors usually just tell you to use Saleae's software, you can and should use the awesome open-source Sigrok (https://sigrok.org) tool, which supports these knockoff clones!

Hey,

i dont want so sound harsh, but you need to think a bit more about the UI-Part. For example, where do i see how much money can be spend on the coins?

Maybe a status bar at the top with all the important stuff for the player is a good starting point.
> Lem extrapolated that from dinosaurs (although I think it showed a weak grasp of natural history because for dinosaurs size was not correlated with their extinction)

Size was a contributing factor. That's why maniraptorans managed to survive (and evolved into birds). Also, did Lem really state or imply dinosaurs died out due to being too big?
Might just be the MongoDB package then? That's the most recent one where I've noticed that upgrading the package caused MongoDB to be restarted.
If you do business within a country and that country rules against you, they can certainly stop you doing business within that country.

They can also file a case in the country that you do belong you to get you to pay your fines in the original country. This sometimes works.
I would love this idea to take off and be successful but I have many reservations on the feasibility of such a project. Two are fairly simple: innovation and trusted hosting.

Let’s assume that we have a protocol that allows us to have the same interactions as Facebook/Instagram/Twitter: a multi-media flow of posts, comments, etc. Let’s assume that we have distinct hosts that let you befriend and follow people with a different service, just like we have with email. We can even imagine that those services have internal tweaks (like the integration of Google Calendar in GMail) that provide some network effect, but overall there is a push to make such improvements universal (like providing a compatible .ics file, etc.) and part of the protocol.

I expect that the overall protocol adoption will be slower, so I expect that things like Gif comments that display (rather than a link; admittedly not the most loved feature among HN’s crowd) or editable comment (with a version control system; probably more within HN’s preference) will be slower. I don’t think that most of those project imagine how to address that issue. It’s distinct from open source (which admittedly innovates faster than closed code in the areas that I’m familiar with) and more akin to how no new feature has been adopted by email since probably the 80s.

I also wonder who people would trust with their personal data: intimate conversations, dirty secrets… We’ve learned the hard way that security is hard, and even serious projects like Telegram have had their issue. At the moment, that information is indeed clustered on few servers with a reasonably good security team protecting them. I suspect that more hosts with a lesser team would not really make it safer. You could try extreme dilution, but I suspect that people would not want to host anything themselves and would frown upon letting their nerdy cousin hold the keys of that server, over a cold company who presumably monetise their data but at least is not really expected to pry and gossip. That leaves large-ish commercial entities.

I see that area concentrating fast, like email did, and the upside of using internal features winning people over to two or three platforms, like today. It would be great to have that platform be open and allow you to host your own server compatible with Facebook, but that kind of openness is what got us the latest scandal.
I prefer to keep ID column names descriptive even if it does lead to repetition like Person.PersonID. That way columns that identify a person always carry the same name and you are never left guessing what a more anonymous "ID" refers to or fall into one of a couple of traps where the parser disambiguate one in a way you were not expecting (though this is also caught by consistently using two+ part names when referring to columns, which I also prefer to do). It is particularly useful if the same entity is joined into a query multiple times with different aliases.

There are cons, of course. This is a matter that divides people and when working with other people's projects you have to ignore your own preference and follow the "local" convention.
But kill files didn't work. Many newsgroups were destroyed because people relied on killfiles instead of allowing proper moderating tools.

Trolling your way past a killfile was trivial, and sock-puppeting evolved on Usenet as a troll technique.

you're right of course. any blanket statement will likely be wrong.
I'm not so sure, considering how their coverage of the DNC lawsuit read like a press release, with zero journalistic objectivity. It treated the currently unproven claims of a civil suit as if it was already assumed fact.[0] It contains this gem of a paragraph:

> The leaks continued steadily from there, as the suit details. Guccifer 2.0 struck again on June 27, June 30, and July 6. On July 22, WikiLeaks took the wheel, releasing nearly 20,000 internal DNC emails. The following day, according to the suit, multiple DNC employees received an email that said: “I hope your children get raped and murdered. I hope your family knows nothing but suffering, torture, and death.”

All evidence suggests, as Wikileaks has maintained, that their emails came from a physical source, and not Guccifer 2.0.

I think there is a larger editorial bias at play at Wired.

Iran bans Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies
TDD does not do anything to ensure the API is good.

Well, what is good? You suggest such an API has to solve a complex problem with hundreds of users. I should think that I've written a few modules with just such an API using TDD methods. So what are we really saying here with this definition?

Your elaboration goes back to the myth I would like to see dispelled as my experience, and that of many others, has demonstrated that it's a bit of a red herring.

When I start a module I don't know what the API should be or what invariant is important or anything. All that test driven development asks is that I first make an assertion about my problem and try to prove that it's true (or not as the case may be).

This leads me to good API designs because the tests invariably contain the assertions about my invariant, they document the API at a high level, and they demonstrate that my implementation is correct as to those assertions I made. If I am thoughtful in this process I know that some assertions contain a quantification over a universe of inputs so I use property based tests to drive my specification. Other times a handful of examples is good enough to demonstrate correctness and so I simply test the units with them. And the API is entirely under my control this whole time. The tests are guiding me to a good API that does exactly what I say it will do by way of executable specifications that cannot be wrong about my implementation (or else the test would fail).

There's nothing in the above that says I cannot take a top-down approach and design my module's interfaces first. Nothing.

Personally I prefer the bottom-up approach for many of the reasons I explained in my OP. I like to define things in small units that I can compose over with abstractions that let me achieve more interesting results. Testing keeps me honest as to the true requirements so that I don't go off into the woods.
Thank you.

I've always sold my company stocks soon as they were received. Then reinvested those funds in in either Vanguard index funds, or paying off school loans. Makes zero sense to tie up your entire income to one company. Your weekly paycheck, AND stocks are totally reliant on the same company performance.

Ownership-driven development
Running a web agency, I got asked this a lot. "Can you add X feature? I don't want anything complicated, just like they have on Facebook."

The trick is that behind a simple feature like adding friends there are all kinds of use cases: removing friends, blocking friends, removing banned friends, Unicode/ language support, optimizing/caching friend queries, etc.

In Ruby on Rails, you can have a bare bones social network up by the end of the day and run it on Digital Ocean for $5/month. But when you scale to millions of users, you'll be paying millions in bandwidth, storage and staff.

Basically, there's a reason why sure sites like FB need millions in VC cash. And the story if a kid in a basement making a hit site is only the first chapter.
> Does your bank send you messages on WhatsApp? Ofcourse not. They use SMS.

At first I thought it was going to be a :cueCat goes to rehab article, but no... a legit barcode scanner. Nice!
Oh great, another article claiming that cloud and APIs will make code go away. What do these people think drives APIs and provisions infrastructure in the cloud? We may get better abstractions for some forms of data, but there will always be a demand for code, even when we get hyper-intelligent AIs it will still need to be able to generate code.

At $WORK, management attempted to jump on the no-code train, forcing us to use Salesforce and OutSystems to attempt to write complex business systems. What we got was an unverifiable, totally vendor locked, poorly performing system that cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. It was an exercise in frustration.
Well, now their VLC is gone altogether, AFAIK. I guess they can't use their incompatible playlists even if they were willing to keep 2.1.1, because 2.1.1 is gone from the store and all devices too.

Call me cynical, but I don't think Google wants to fight this fight. While I admire that they backed out of China instead of complying, if anyone has the deep pockets and influence to make such changes, it's Google.

Look at what's happening to Telegram with Russia; I don't think Google is interested in participating in such a battle. They want just to have a simple messaging app and to have a compelling competitive messaging app to WhatsApp et. al. (They don't care about Messages since it's locked to iOS devices)

But to do Encryption, that means taking a stand against many big governments controlling some big markets. I don't see Google as ready to fight with the likes of Russia, China, Turkey, etc. If they just hand over the keys, what good is the E2E encryption?
Yeah. HoneyMoney is my side project, so I can afford to have fun while working on it.

And your resume is a great opportunity to 'show' rather than 'tell' this.
Interesting comment, makes me wonder if people just generally underperform. You hire an "AI" team with multiple PhDs, you get work that a DBA could've done. You hire a DBA, you get work that a PHP intern could've done. You hire a PHP intern, you get work a kid could've done with Excel formulas :P
Yes. But I think the point the comment (that I was commenting on) was getting at was that there are in fact refernece points that should have been mentioned for completeness.

That void is either intentional. Not good. Or due to a lack of awareness (or the obvious). Again, not good.
In a walled garden, like facebook, I have a private/public space. I can send out a message to a subset of my friends. The open web does not have these controls.

Further, if one of the people I thought was trustworthy starts abusing that trust, I can kick them out. Because it's a walled garden. I don't have to worry about spam. I don't have to worry about hate speech. I don't have to worry about any of that shit.

Facebook means that I can approve anyone from seeing that content individually. As of now, we don't have an equivalent way to handle that on the open web.

Facebook means I don't have to deal with spam to have a conversation with anyone involved. As of now, the equivalent ways to handle that on the open web take far too much time to be practical.

Facebook, over the last decade, has solved a legitimately hard problem, and I don't see "kill file" as a sufficient solution.

The open web is about public space. Facebook is a more private space.
Decisions can only be judged in the context within which they were made.

Diversifying is a wise move for strongly mitigating downside risk.

One of the wisest and thoughtful people I know was a long-time and early employee at a major tech company. That friend did exactly the same thing, diversifying early. It is difficult to overstate how successful he has become in life; success need not be measured in dollars.
I'd like to see a stock that reliably compounds in the way described. It'd be a killer. What I see is at best stable few percent smoothed compounding. Not 100%. Please consider historical variance at the very least which vastly outstrips APR.
Losses get compounded to and there are major opportunity costs when you actually need cash for any of various reasons.

I have seen people get totally wiped out in a market crash. Some of them managed to keep property they owned.

History is not on anybody's side. Companies can fall too. Houses can be incorporated or stolen or get dilapidated.

I can understand not using aliasing in a simple query, but I'd recommend against using these non-ANSI joins (deprecated syntax). What you're writing can be interpreted as either:

SELECT * from person CROSS JOIN Team WHERE person.team_id=team.id

SELECT * from person INNER JOIN Team ON person.team_id=team.id

That they happen produce the same result in a query is practically just luck. Changing the join from INNER to LEFT OUTER is also much easier than managing (+)'s in the WHERE clause, once you're used to it.
OK, what are you looking for? Rich people get one shot at doing something, and if they fail, the government comes riding in and takes all their stuff?

I can't speak for the person you replied to, but how about this? Less downside for the workers. We're talking about thousands of people losing their jobs. These people then go into a smaller labour market where they compete with other vulnerable retail workers, affecting far more people.

If we want an appropriate measure of downside in a situation like this, we should look at all of the externalities. Few people ever do, though, and society marches on.
A simple procedure to prevent the leakage of the data is to copy values only when you copy/paste anything in Excel. It's a special option you have to select, but when done properly it erases all of the hidden information that's used to calculate a value and replaces it with the displayed value in the cell.
