Imagine that the year is 2011, Bitcoin appears for one of the first times on HN, and someone says "in the future Goldman will trade bitcoin". Ha ha ha ha ha....

Today, someone (me) says: in the future, first world central banks will hold bitcoin as a reserve among the usual things (dollars, euros, gold, ...)
You may be confusing class with credentials. (Leaving aside the accustomed confusion between credentials and ability.) Sorry to sound flippant, but I found it to be true: spend a lot of time with top level talent and you get used to it. On the other hand, if you have bad teeth or a regional accent, you might never overcome even the internal barriers.

There are a few free alternatives to Google:

arcgis has a free place suggestions API: https://developers.arcgis.com/rest/geocode/api-reference/geo...

OpenCageData is pretty good for geocoding with a good free tier.

My company https://stadiamaps.com does map tiles at very generous tiers.
The original panopticon was an architectural design about a single point being able to observe all the (prisoners / students / patients) while the observed were uncertain if they were being watched. Therefore they would have to behave all the time.
Of course they don't want to use their own address space or commit to anything.
Thinking seriously about switching to MapBox.

Google's pricing is insane after this change -- $7 per 1000 map views!?!?! Did they add an extra zero accidentally?
>"But the biggest reason German health costs are so much lower, experts say, is that doctors are paid less. This largely reflects Germany's concerted efforts to keep costs down over the past two decades."

Yes, this supports my statement. I said the medical lobby has artificially constricted the supply of doctors. Limited supply means higher wages. I'm not familiar with the German system, they may have done other things such as price fixing to keep wages lower. Personally, I'd prefer having "too many" doctors. This would give me more personal choice to choose the one I like the most while simultaneously keeping prices reasonable.

>You have provided no evidence to back up this claim. What makes you so certain that it's true?

Here's the first article that came up when I googled the subject. https://www.newyorker.com/tech/elements/why-america-is-losin.... It talks about issues of poverty, adolescent pregnancy, etc.

===Most experts estimate that modern medical care delivered to individual patients—such as physician and hospital treatments covered by health insurance—has only been responsible for between ten and twenty-five percent of the improvements in life expectancy over the last century. The rest has come from changes in the social determinants of health, particularly in early childhood.====

>Why have you dismissed this potential outcome?

As noted above the majority of improved health outcomes are not the result of access to healthcare at all. Let's be generous and use the highest percentage in the stat provided above: 25%. So now we're only at 25% of healthcare gains at all, and the fraction of that that isn't actually affordable either by the individual themselves, through their insurance coverage, or provided by charity. We're talking a really tiny fraction of gains here.
Alexander Burger has some free books out on it, but a lot of it still requires more work to really learn it than I can put in right now. I'd love to see a book on building really small business apps with it though.
I’m on at&t lte and this is working just fine... is this a broad band provider thing?
Uh. We've five years of old versions to support. We're not going to backpatch the invasive stuff necessary to make DIO performant.

And it'd not be the default anyway, as it requires more tuning.

We are working on getting there.
Do they have a mechanism for product/service customer feedback to actually get to decisionmakers?

Daily, I see site issues, logic fails, missing features in apps and sites, but there is generally no mechanism for sharing my genius insights.
I used to use Picolisp for quick prototypes - inbuilt DBA, access to C and Java for GUI and other library integrations.

Re: Goldman’s activity pumping and dumping IPO’s they knew to be worthless to screw over retail investors during the late 90s tech bubble.

Read Matt Taibbi’s hyperbolic yet mostly accurate Rolling Stone article for more info.

It’s safe to assume Goldman isn’t neccesarily getting into bitcoin because it believes in the technology.
Perl is “just as portable” in the same way that a motorcycle can just as easily drive under a steamroller... it’s not gonna be pretty and there’s no easy way out if you do it.
I just wanted to add that geocod.io is now a viable alternative to Google Maps for geocoding in terms of both accuracy and pricing.

We’re going to continue having a no-credit-card-required 2,500/day free limit, as well as the most affordable pricing, without restrictions. Including a plan that allows for unlimited geocoding. https://geocod.io/pricing

> Yet every day there are stories (such as this article) showing crypto becoming more deeply ingrained in mainstream circles.

Check out Attack of the 50-foot blockchain by David Gerard. He goes through many of those articles and debunks them. They are misleading articles written by crypto enthusiasts to promote their own agenda.

> I doubt there is much middle ground for this.

There is a middle ground. There are few areas where cryptocurrency can add real value.

Consider the example of origin / provenance tracking. That's not a problem that needs to be solved by blockchain unless the company can't trust its own audit logs and database team. Would you want give your credit card to a company that thought it needed blockchain technology to prevent tampering? It sounds like incompetence to me.

There are businesses that the public doesn't trust that could be disrupted by blockchain technology. Take a look at the studies on trust in casino and poker games. The public is very skeptical.
Unenforced laws might as well not exist.

See: Monopoly/duopoly of telecom in the USA, net neutrality protections, and the speed limit signs on 280.
What services do you use? I'm working on a startup in this space, and I could definitely recommend a set of services that replace Google for much cheaper (even if you didn't use us ;) ).
> May not be the best example but look at the comments on announcing Dropbox.

This is the opposite direction. Mesh NYC is saying that ISPs are useless because anyone can string up some APs and get access to the Internet.
Intent only matters at the time of applying to admission into the country, and at the time of applying for a visa. You're not required to have continued nonimmigrant intent while here.

The legal explanation for TN visas is the following:
An intent to immigrate in the future that is in no way connected to the proposed immediate trip need not in itself result in a finding that the immediate trip is not temporary. Repeated renewal of a TN visa that leads to extended stay in the United States, may still be temporary, as long as there is no immediate intent to immigrate.
(9 FAM 402.17-7)

TL;DR what matters is present intent at the time of application and every time you enter the US. It is not illegal if your intent changes after being here for a while.
> reasonable

I'm not sure what is meant by that word, but in addition to profit there are questions of ethics, and the enlightened self-interest of wanting a reputation for integrity, a stable financial system in which people feel its safe to participate, and a society built on merit and integrity.

Profit alone isn't a good guide to business decisions.
Whenever I've needed IP ranges for similar purposes (i.e., default IPs for container or VM internal / private networks) I've used ranges from RFC 5737 (192.0.2.0/24, 198.51.100.0/24, and 203.0.213.0/24). These are for reserved for documentation purposes, so it is highly unlikely that a customer would have these going in their own internal network. Not the best solution, but better than tying up a public /24 that we own.
What's "only found in elite circles" is being in elite circles. That's it.

You're confident in what you do. Do it, and do it well. Let that speak for you. Let it be your "credential". Those who do it better, well, they have higher credentials than you.

An Ivy League degree may mean a better education. Or, it may not. It may mean that their application looked better than yours. Or it may mean that they got in on a "legacy" application, because five generations of their family went to that school. It may mean a wealthier family background, or a really nice scholarship, or it may just mean a really big student loan.

Don't judge by the degree. If they flaunt the degree, it means that they are hung up on the degree, but it doesn't mean you should be. (And why are they hung up on the degree? Maybe, because of a bit of insecurity. If you have to show off your university credentials at your job, maybe you aren't convinced that your job performance shows you off...)

But "I've always been a slacker when it comes to education"? Well, don't be a slacker when it comes to your job.
Compile time is absolutely dominated by c++ (and now rust) compilation and linking. I doubt build system language choice will ever bubble up to relevance, so why optimize for it?
Apple still sells the 2015 MacBook Pro new.
I'm having problems with it too. I plugged in the new IP addresses for my root A records yesterday, and then deleted and re-added the CNAME file in the repository.

What does being right about a prediction mean to you?
I think you are exaggerating the amount of internal security there is at facebook. Up until a couple years ago, many of the internal tools didn't have any privacy restrictions to stop employees from looking at private user data. I looked at user data all the time as part of my job and was never questioned about it. Of course I never looked at anything I shouldn't have out of fear of getting caught. But no one checked to see why I was always looking at user data.

Even after common tools were changed to add warnings about accessing private data, there were still many ways to go around them. All engineers have access to user databases as well as the thousands of other data sets that contained user data.

The reason why most employees wouldn't abuse their power is the fear of getting caught (not due to any actual internal security). From this article, it's not clear how the fired employee accessed private data. So I can't say if they did something too obvious or if they put any effort in making sure they had plausible deniability if caught. This article doesn't indicate whether internal security actually caught the data access violation. It sounds like they only found out after the accusations appeared on twitter.

If you can construe some horizontal where Cloudflare and AT&T are competitors it could of course still be illegal for AT&T to block the others services simply under antitrust law.

I've also had a boss in tech that refused to hire women engineers.

Spoiler, the guy wasn't even Mexican, just brown.
I hope people aren't upvoting this study because it fits a certain narrative in their head - because the study explicitly states that it is not able, or looking, to determine a causal relationship between grip strength and marriage.

It does seem like quite a few ISPs are little more than WWW providers with partial email functionality.
Am I the only one who think that this:

class Example extends Component {
render() {
return (
<App>
<Window title="Example" size={{w: 300, h: 300}} menuBar={false}>
<Button stretchy={false} onClick={() => console.log('Hello')}>
Button
</Button>
</Window>
</App>
);
}
}

render(<Example />);

is using too many artificial parsing layers ?

1) Like run JS, then there 2) parse JSX that will build virtual DOM, then 3) interpret that vDOM to 4) create physical window.

Why not just

let app = Application({params});
let window = app.window({url:"content.xml",
type: "frame" });

Or perhaps he just stands in the pantheon of filmmakers. As a fan of Tarantino and Christopher Nolan, Kubrick's consistency of the quality of his work is unparalleled, in my mind. The breadth of the timespan he created them in is equally impressive. Most of the films he adapted from a book, are drastically different as well.
Yes. The creators pronounce it exactly like "Jupiter", where the unstressed middle "i" vowel becomes a schwa.
Yeah the time it takes is really mind-boggling if you think about it. I recently had occasion to run Windows XP in a VirtualBox on fairly underpowered Macbook Air.

It not only installed really fast, but at runtime it was fast and responsive! And so were the apps! Virtualbox recommends 192 MB of RAM for Windows XP, and it works fine. Amazing. Remember when everyone said Windows was slow and bloated?

On the other hand, I tried compiling Python 2.7 on a Raspberry Pi Zero, which is probably around as fast as the machines at the time of XP (maybe a little slower). This was not a fun experience!

Actually I just looked it up, and the Pi Zero has 512 MB of RAM. So in that respect it has more power. Not sure about the CPU though... I think I ran Windows XP on 300 Mhz computers, but I don't remember. Pi Zero is 700 Mhz, but you can't compare clock rates across architectures. I think they're probably similar though.

FWIW I think importing is heavily bottlenecked by I/O, in particular stat() of tons of "useless" files. In theory the C to Python change shouldn't have affected it much. But I haven't looked into it more deeply than that.
I know of at least one place where the MacBook Pro fingerprint sensor is approved for authentication, but the only other approved devices are dedicated hardware (security tokens).
These are people who already have Amazon accounts. If the product was cheaper at Amazon they would have made the purchase there from the start.

There's no way Amazon could lower the price enough to offset the hassle of dealing with a return - not to mention you often have to pay return shipping.
I learned that my mistake was crossing back into Canada and doing the renewal at the Port of Entry. Apparently you can do TN renewals directly through the Department of State, while still being in the US. That's how we did it for the appeal and everything went smoothly.
The market doesn't favor "itself", that doesn't mean anything. There may be a paradigm you're missing here.

There's a confirmation bias at work. There are infinite examples of the market working suboptimally for one consumer, a group of consumers, or consumers as a whole. But the entire platform is built upon creating value for consumers. People choose to pay for goods and services they want. In another system, they could be assigned arbitrarily. Or even completely unavailable. Capitalism created things you'd never expect, like broadband internet access and social networking to name a couple.
Comparing Kubernetes Operator Pattern with Alternatives
The tech sounds fantastic but as you’re learning in this thread you should never criticize the competition. Framing your work as easier to read/write (or whatever) than Qt does nothing but pull yourself and the project into the mud. Just delete all references to Qt on the homepage and focus on what your project does and does well. You’ll find that approach does a much better job of communicating what you actually want to get across to people.
In conference talks, most people (including NumPy's creators) pronounce it "numb pie".
Very nice work man! Keep at it! =)
It's true that courts can't make laws, but they have shown a lot of leeway in the past of creatively interpreting laws (i.e., using the Interstate Commerce clause to say a farmer can't raise a particular crop to feed to his own animals). Could existing laws that prevent monopolies from unfair business practices be applied here?

Still...80...? He's not saying exterior panels or different parts...he basically said frames. Even if we assume that they (insanely) have significant different bodies for each trim of the S, that means they have >25 different version of the design. That can't be right.

I love seeing the growth of mesh network.

“We don’t have any use cases that show how nice it can be if you have enough users.”

They are going to need software. The supernodes are still a symptom of the thinking that you need the signal to go to another stage in order to communicate locally.

I think there should be more software that works on a local network, like things used to work before broadband.

Wow, this is a massive price increase... free tier cut from 750,000 dynamic map loads per month to 56,571! With new prices it'd cost $4,023/mo to pay for what used to be free. Another way of putting it: used to get 25,000 free dynamic map loads per day, now only get 1,886 free map loads per day. 92% less for free. And this is assuming you use the full $200 credit only for the dynamic map loads and not partially for the other Google Maps APIs.

By your link we're 52nd in doctors per capita. That's not great. Plus I'd already noted that we've made a concerted effort to undo the damage since the 90s. Are you suggesting that supply and demand has no impact whatsoever on the wages doctors are capable of demanding? Do you believe that artificially restricting the supply for decades has had no impact on wages whatsoever?

The rest has come from changes in the social determinants of health, particularly in early childhood.===

So best case scenario access and affordability to healthcare accounts for about 25% of improvements in life expectancy. Except the majority of people already have access to healthcare in the US. It's not as available and affordable as we'd like, and we're talking about how best to improve availability and affordability, but it's a tiny fraction of the problem of why US health outcomes are so bad.
EDIT: I should also add that the length of PYTHONPATH as constructed by many package managers is a huge problem. You're doing O(m*n) stat()s -- random disk access -- which is the slowest thing your computer can do.

m is the number of libraries you're importing, and n is the length of the PYTHONPATH.

So it gets really bad, and it's not just one person's "fault". It's a collusion between the Python interpreter's import logic and how package managers use it.
