Sure, but shouldnt really matter. It's very unlikely that any civilization launches anything from the homeworld, more likely they have the space equivalent roving nuclear submarines. Even if we survive the first hit, it's unlikely we can figure catch the launcher submarine or work out its homeworld.
It seems utterly, utterly insane to me that the vendor of a currency wallet software would leave the .com of their product's name unregistered. Using the real Electrum at home but second-guessing that now.

I use Riot on a daily basis and I like the overall concept, we love federated where I communicate. So let me try to share some experiences that bugger me the most because I really hope you could imporve on those things. Imho those things are more important than UI. (form follows function, sorry guys ;D)

- Messages that can't be decrypted on only some of my devices. This for example forces me to use my phone while sitting in front of my riot desktop application. This becomes worse if ppl send me URLs. I have to forward them from my phone to my pc - using an empty channel with only me reading, having riot telling me that noone is listening :D. Im-/exporting all keys on all my devices only helps for a while and is impossible while not at home. This mostly - but not only - happens with linux.

- Searching the history doesn't work well at all. Shows zero results for a string, scrolling up proves that wrong.

- My phone doesn't stop to blink even tho I read the message on my pc.

- I really do not like electron and things relying on 100+mb google sandbox software. But well, I understand your need to use it... ;D
Start running, and keep running. Oh, and mine some of that newfangled bitcoin stuff!

On the serious side though - It's a lot harder to get yourself in heathy shape in your 40s than in your 20s, and it's a LOT easier to keep a good habit than it is to make one.
so it would boost essential spending but take away from useless consumerism spending? And thats a bad thing?
Only responding to the last paragraph:

The government created the computer and the internet...funds most major pharmaceutical, chemical, material sciences, and theoretical scientific research. The value created by the US government alone is estimated to be in the low hundreds of trillions and that's just measuring value created to this date.

The reduction of friction created by government regulation is estimated to provide a value equal in many cases to 100% of the price of the transaction (as in, the transactions simply wouldn't happen without government regulation creating sufficient trust between the parties).

Excessive taxation is a burden, but taxation in itself is not.

Even if overthrowing a government is impossible, making the police who enforce unjust laws hesitate before, lets say, rounding up millions of people for deportation, that's a good brake. You slow down the bad processes just long enough to survive until the next election, when all the combined reactance against the unjust government can flush it clean.

If the police have no fear and don't hesitate enough to prioritize what they enforce, they will stretch a tyrannical law to its conclusion.

I see it like this: If your state passes a law allowing ICE agents to come into schools and take kids with little to no justification, and having armed teachers can make them hesitate enough to only invade 3 schools instead of 4, that's a minor success. Just enough of a brake to spare one immigrant family long enough for Trump to be ousted.
May I ask why you're pushing cri-o instead of the more mature containerd? All the technical explanations I got were hand-wavy and unconvincing.

The only explanation I see is that containerd is backed by Docker, a competitor of Red Hat, and that business rivalry overrode engineering common sense. Now we have to suffer yet another "war of the container runtimes", as if the original dockerd vs rkt wasn't painful enough.

Why the add on?
I regularly travel to Peru. For years now, it has been the policy of the Peruvian aviation authority that you may not board flights to the US with bottles of water purchased after the security checkpoint.

They have queues set up at the gate to rifle through your knickers in search of contraband dihydrogen monoxide, and will force you to dump any you have, and/or deny you boarding if you don't comply obsequiously enough.

Flying to Mexico (or anywhere else) and then the States? Or even Europe? You're fine. Even when you board the flight that will land in the States, your water is welcome. It's only direct flights to the US, and it's only (in my experience) enforced on outbound flights, from Lima. I've never encountered this anywhere else, and I've visited dozens of countries, and did a several months long RTW a few years ago.

Once you've spent 6-10 hours in a can at cruising altitude, with only the occasional thimbleful of water a few times, because of this kind of invasive idiocy, you might have a broader perspective on how much of aviation security is theater.

EDIT: That's just one example of the absurdity I've encountered in my travels. Another: being told that my carry-on sized backpack was somehow a material threat to the plane I was trying to board, and that it needed to be checked in the hold.

What am I supposed to do there? Logic my way out of my paid fare? Into one of $country's TSA-alike's interrogation rooms?

This nonsense is endemic to air travel, over the last decade particularly, and it's only getting worse.
I don't understand how this is an answer. If I follow your argument correctly, and totally ignoring for a moment what ${data} might evaluate to, then for the first command to produce any output it is necessary for the output of ls to at least contain the string "echo". But we can see that it does not, yet the claim (which I haven't tested) is that it does produce output. Why is that?

Google Cloud Deployment Manager, you mean? Yeah, that is linked tightly with Google's API system which means it has the fastest support for new things.

Google does (last I checked) put some paid time into systems like Terraform so that they support GCP well, but there's always going to be more of a lag, especially before GA.

I don't know Terraform well enough to know how big the lag is for new AWS features, but some lag probably exists even there despite AWS's dominant market share.

Even though you never hear the counterpoint on HN, it’s important to remember that FB’s behaviors are not necessarily objectively bad - people can have different views on these things.
-I've no good reason why, though - in general, we embrace any anglicism we can get our hands on; this includes the mass media.

I've never seen 'hovercraft' used in any of them, though - I guess the reason may be simply that the word -luftputebåt- was introduced in the mid-sixties, prior to anglicisms being in vogue - and then fell out of use just as quickly as hovercraft never caught on here.

Hence, on the few occasions when we need the word, the first that pops into our minds is the Norwegian one.

Just a guess, though. I am by no means a linguist.

> The US was mostly a libertarian's paradise from [insert date range of the most prosperous human development in the US].

And, the great depression was a direct result of government and bank collusion. The Federal Reserve tightened the money supply exactly after the market crashed. Take the federal government, which sanctioned the federal reserve, out of the picture, and you have a much smaller crash that weeds out all the idiots who fell for the securities fraud perpetrated by the Shenandoah Corporation, which precipitated the crash in the first place.

In fact, get rid of the federal reserve banking system that was created by the federal government in 1913, and you don’t have any of the major crashes in the ensuing 95 years.

Go one step further and remove the federal government’s control over the money supply in general and you have a system of multiple currencies, all controlled by their constituent markets, many backed by silver and/or gold. and you don’t have a nationwide gold seizure by the federal government in 1933, whereupon our distributed sovereign wealth was gifted to internationalist bankers. You have instead a wealthy population of the descendants of the colonialists that conquered this country for us.

Any good act by a corporation can be explained away as a business strategy. Just as any good act by an individual can be explained away as a means to garner status, or because the individual derives personal satisfaction from either the act or the effects of good behavior.

Are you arguing that one must always impute manipulative motives to a corporation? (And should therefore not reward consequentially better behavior, because it must be based on invalid motives?)

We live in a society where all the actors in the system need to virtue signal about how much they care about safety, usefulness of the system be damned. That's why the draconian speed limit policy in the first place.

The union wants the trains to go slow so they can say they're fighting for policies that protect workers. The MTA wants signal enforced speed limits so they can say they're preventing crashes.

If we could just have an adult discussion about the damage of marginally (if at all) increased risk compared to the benefits of a more functional subway system this wouldn't be as big of a problem.

This isn't even a resources issue, changing policy is close to free.

Firefox for Android will be copying Chrome's scrolling physics for faster scrolling, since that's what Android users are used to. Chrome doesn't use Android's standard scrolling physics, so custom scrolling code is needed to emulate its behavior.

You can test this in Firefox 61 Beta by setting the "apz.android.chrome_fling_physics.enabled" pref to true in about:config. The new behavior will hopefully be enabled by default in Firefox 62.

ARM development is also pretty tough if you want to use real hardware, and don't have deep pockets

On one end there's the low-end gear. The Raspberry Pi and its clones. They'll run up to about $50 USD on average. But they're utter agony to develop on due to resource constraints

Then there's the other end of gear with proper ITX or server formfactor that typically runs in the thousands of dollars, things from Gigabyte and others

The least agonizing one to purchase seems to be the https://softiron.com/development-tools/overdrive-1000/

1. Coders at Work

Peter Seibel does an amazing job of asking programmers questions that make them explain their methodology. The interview with Donald Knuth is awesome; really enjoyed hearing him talk about literate programming.

2. The Soul of a New Machine

Tracy Kidder's 1981 Pulitzer Prize winner I think is a brilliant case study on how engineers work together and the things that can go wrong and right with different personalities interacting with highly technical ideas. The project in this book starts without the consent of management, which to me shows the value of questioning the system to add business / engineering value.

3. Little Schemer

It is also hypocritical for privacy advocates to purchase products from China.

Their purchases directly fund a regime opposed to their moral positions, either through taxes and duties or payments to the many thousands of firms (like COSCO) that are controlled wholly or in part by the Chinese government or military.

The hypocritical-ness doesn’t go away because corporations are larger than individuals, the transaction is in a different direction, or because the moral position is privately-held.

> So your point is that the current system is broken because our currencies are not truly inflationary

No, I'm arguing traditional currency is no longer necessary. Rich people don't own currency, they own assets. Currency is for poor schmucks who don't know how finance works. Currency is for a convenient way of taxing the masses and devaluing their life's savings at the behest of the 1%.

What's the solution? Asset backed certificates. Store your savings in a diversified portfolio backed by the incredibly valuable "means of production". These certificates can be settled in real-time given their levels of liquidity. Merchants can sell things denominated in one asset, and customers can pay with arbitrary certificates (say, apple stock) - settlement occurs at transaction time instantly.

> Why are payment processors/banks bad again?

It's a matter of opinion. However, the only reason for bitcoin to exist is to avoid banks and payment processors. Hence it's illogical to make heavy use of coinbase/etc. regardless of what opinion you have.

Bitcoin has many downsides (volatility, no recourse, vast energy usage, paranoid wallet security, high fees, long confirmation time, etc.) and one upside (no need to trust processors/banks).

If you think that processors/banks are bad, then you might find that the upside outweighs the downsides, and make many on-chain bitcoin transactions. Yet you shouldn't use coinbase/etc. in this case, since they're a bank/processor, hence you'd be removing the only upside that bitcoin has.

On the other hand, if you don't think that processors/banks are bad, then the upside of bitcoin isn't worth all of the downsides. You might as well use regular currency, with all of its advantages over bitcoin (instant payments, lower fees, lower volatility, recourse, less paranoid security, etc.). In this case there's no need to use coinbase/etc. because there's no need to use bitcoin.

Those intermediaries do serve a role in converting between traditional currencies and cryptocurrencies, but it only makes sense to use them occasionally, e.g. buying a stash of bitcoins and immediately 'withdrawing' them to your private, on-chain-only wallet. If you're regularly converting back and forth, or maintaining a non-zero balance on their systems, you would always be better off doing something else (either sticking to fiat, or sticking to crypto).
