Except IRS has guidance on ICOs and it has become a real big problem that bullshit ICOs are out there. If large investment banks are interested in the space then regulation will eventually come forth.

Remember that Coinbase was asked to reveal people who made trades over $10,000.

I was at a conference with someone who gave a speech saying that ~80% of all ICOs are fraudulent. I think that is a bit low in my opinion.
Nah, MS has always given away their suites of software for free(Visual Studio, etc) to students and the like. VSCode is probably the same with a smooth integration for Azure, .net and TypeScript.

On iOS you can't get notifications if you've closed out of Safari... it's not really usable.

A simple scenario is - you're inviting someone to a chat room. You send them an invite and now you have to wait. Usually what people do is other things - like go to a different website, go to a different app, etc. In only the case where you're sitting on the same website will you get a notification. It doesn't work.

It gets worse - let's say you installed the app to your homescreen. You run through that same scenario above - you navigate through your web app into /chatroom and click on an invite button there. Then you navigate away to another website/app. When you come back to the homescreen app, the entire site has reloaded and it will take you automatically to the main screen of your web app: /

Note - these broken behaviors are only on iOS.

John Gruber has a theory about why Apple will never completely eliminate macOS and go iPad-only: "The Mac being heavy allows iOS to be light". That is, iOS can be free of a bunch all the cruft that comes with the long history of desktop operating systems because the Mac has that for the people who need those scenarios.

I think there's a similar dynamic at work here: full Visual Studio has a lot of powerful capabilities that are only used by 1% of its userbase, but each person needs a different 1%, and much of it is legacy Windows stuff. VS will continue to bear the burden of having all that so that VSCode can continue to be reasonably lightweight and updated quickly.
Healthcare digitalization and consumer devices as medical devices is the next huge market that Apple is going to with Wearables. You can clearly see it from their actions that it is a part of their future strategy.

Apple is so big that it needs a huge new market to enter to make a difference in its revenue. Healthcare and transportation are huge markets. Apple is working on both.
Beyond all points, I found it interesting how people think they get to control their ads, but at the same time don’t want to pay publishers for content.

I often find it funny when people complain about ads on torrent sites.

I think this speaks of a culture that thinks they should get everything for free.

50 years ago, if you wanted to read the news,you paid for it.

Today , we complain about want ads can the free content providers give us. Yet, we wonder why publishers provide such crap content, because their Main focus is pleasing free users with what ad they will like.

I’m not surprised by how many people speak of micropayment for articles, but no one does it.

The more we block legitment ads, the more crap we’ll see.

The cost to behave nicely becomes too much.

Hacker News has been an amazing place, but more and more things like “evil” for people pushing ads is insane. Evil is hilter, but now you’re comparing you’re as provider in the same way?

Ps not in ads, just a realist.
On Windows this dependes on the calling convention. The calling convention determines whether function arguments are passed: In order or in reverse order. Who takes care of cleaning the stack: caller or callee? And even if the arguments are passed by stack or CPU registers.

In Visual Studio you can control this behavoir with the __cdecl, __clrcall, __stdcall, __fastcall, __thiscall, __vectorcall [1] calling convention function prefixes, but this also depends on the optimization options [2] of the compiler.

Passing arguments via CPU registers has a huge preformance benefit, but also some drawbacks.

You should probably quote the article title too:

"Google’s true origin partly lies in CIA and NSA research grants for mass surveillance"

The gist I got from skimming it is that the CIA didn't "directly" fund them because that's handled by a differwnt group acting in their interest.
I think the actual facts you gave regarding enforcement support my point, don't they? All we've seen so far is very targeted, specific actions against the most egregious offenders, whether it is outright scams and ponzi schemes or a financial institution handling billions of dollars worth of transactions while trying to avoid reporting anything.

Basically if you're running a ponzi scheme, an investor con, an unlicensed custodial bank, a non-conforming public securities offering, or a money-laundering operation, expect some agency of the Feds to come calling. But, uh.. duh? That has nothing to do with whether you are handling crypto currency or not.

So far we haven't seen action against legitimately innovative, non-scammy operations in this space. Just the offenders that are quite clearly and quite brazenly flipping their middle finger to the regulations.
That's not a limitation of USD. If the Fed wanted to create an API that let you do that and sidestep banks, they could. (And if they couldn't because a government agency can't casually destroy an industry like that, that restriction applies to FedCoin, too.)
Author of TFA here. I've been a PWA fanboi for years, having written about them for Ars Technica long ago. This site is concerned only with Enterprise computing, and it seemed to me that the case for PWAs is all the more compelling for the Enterprise, if you can have one backend and HTML/Javascript on the client end with gussied-up CSS for different platforms. Having closer to one coffee base and the ability to issue updates to users automatically through the web address are compelling.
Ask HN: What is the good time to move out of AWS?
we are nearing 10k/month in aws billing. Barring S3 & RDS - we are not using any other major AWS platform service.

RDS is a mjor cost for us at this point. I fully understand that this can be too less information for you to give any suggestions, but I will be glad to see if there are any decision frameworks to look at moving out to own infra & also importantly what could be other alternatives that we can look at to reduce costs (like digital ocean)?

I have seen dropbox do this. But I understand they do it as a much larger scale. Would be keen to know if any one in our shooting range has done anything to reduce this cost.
They should create it just to show that it will be a failure.

Sadly, I have even less to say about OTP given my limited knowledge of it. I would really like to have another course that would focus more on it.

As an experienced programmer learning about the Erlang and Elixir ecosystem, I found Elixir in Action (https://www.manning.com/books/elixir-in-action) an excellent next step after working through the Elixir guides and writing some small applications. The examples are written in Elixir rather than Erlang, but really it is about how to structure OTP applications.

Many of the awkwardly out of place, positive emotional responses of men to war -- the intense engagement, the euphoria, the sense of bonding and belonging -- make a lot of sense when we consider what would happen to those men if they were absent. The same goes for the immorality of it -- indifference to suffering and lack of interest in context or justification.

Former postdoc in Ontario, in a very similar field. I confirm that fundamental is ignored culturally. By the end, I mostly saw it as a place of business, and not a very good one at that either. Time past since has only solidified my view.
Indeed, and I think an implementation of "FedCoin" would probably be better off without a blockchain, given that you're trusting the government anyway.
Yes, the SEC will continue to take a very light touch. There's no upside to them cracking down on ICOs. The only people losing money are the people who mostly understand the risks of cryptocurrencies and "invest" anyways. The SEC may get serious when grandmothers lose money or there's blood in the streets. Until then there's a kind of regulatory sovereignty that must be defended on a pro forma basis eg the slam-dunk enforcement actions and various announcements that "some ICOs are securities but we won't say which, never the less it's our decision to make and nobody else's." The only real risk to the SEC is that some other regulator like the NFA or the CFTC will step in and say "these coins are currencies and we're gonna regulate them" or "these coins are commodities and we're gonna regulate them."
If it's entirely based on empirical evidence, then why is subject experience excluded from science?
Sorry for the two post,

I want to pose a question for the community.

60 years ago you paid for news paper. It was direct. Plus they had ads. Business model was clear.

Here my question,

Would everyone be ok with adblocker to have an option for you to pay the owners of the websites you visit?

Instead of them replying on ads, you just pay a fee for each visit. Then there a weekly payment sent to publishers.

I’m not speaking of the likeliness, or the technical issues.

Just the concept.

Interested in hearing you responses.

Ps I’m not a publisher or in ads.

You had to look up Jim Crow laws? If you are American then that is an active level of ignorance. It is taught in most schools systems as far as I am aware, and is frequently brought up in the news and other political commentary, especially in the context of any sort of checks on voter registration. I took OP's comment as you would have to look up the peonage system

If you are not American then it would be perfectly understandable to be unaware

What is a "blockchain"?

To me, a blockchain is a way of solving double-spend problems in a Merkle tree maintained by open distributed consensus, by using some scheme to resist Sybil attacks. The scheme is not necessarily proof-of-work, but the fact that there's a double-spend problem and you're solving it is key to the idea.

If you don't have a double-spend problem because all your transactions commute (e.g., Certificate Transparency), you don't have a blockchain, just a Merkle tree. Which is great, you don't have to incur the costs of mining at all, nor do you need to think about mining incentives and structures.

If you're not using distributed consensus because you have a central coordinator, you don't have a blockchain either, and again, you get to not think about mining. Whichever transaction reaches the coordinator first wins, so double-apend becomes irrelevant.

If the Fed wants to build FedCoin, I don't see any reason why they should refuse to be the central coordinaor and instead outsource consensus to the internet. I don't see any reason why they would, if they want to influence monetary policy at all—70% of Bitcoin mining last year was in China, which meant that it would have been straightforward for China to (globally!) freeze a Bitcoin address, and a little more complicated but still possible to prioritize or throttle certain transactions.

Maybe being protocol-compatible with Bitcoin or ERC20 or something would help, but fundamentally this would be an API to transfer USD, not a decentralized system.

See also patio11's Tweet https://twitter.com/patio11/status/583698553614143488 "Most advantages of Bitcoin which matter are captured by, and improved upon by, a LAMP app which simply holds account balances." If the Fed wants to build that app, great!
Here is another piece of my personal experience with GEB. In GEB, I first encountered SHRDLU and the "blocks world". But, you see, I didn't think it was real; I somehow thought it was a use case document for such a system presented as a fantasy interactive session, haha! There are so many "fantasy fugue" type threads in GEB that you don't know what is real and what is fiction. Hofstadter doesn't go out of his way to make it clear. I don't remember seeing a clear clue that "hey, ignorant reader, this is a real session captured from a program someone actually wrote in Lisp in early 1970-something". At that time, there was no (residential) Internet and no search engine where you could just look up SHRDLU.

I'm probably one of those "wacko nut-jobs out there" that you refer to, so you may just want to dismiss my point outright with ad hominem. However, I don't think any of us wacko nut-jobs would care about fed coin, as long as they don't go after competing coins. In fact, I welcome the competition. As long as it's free competition, may the better, less manipulable, coin(s) win.

Anyone have a link to the thread?
"I think drug laws in this country are way too harsh, but those are the laws. People should not break them if they don't want to be jailed."

This quote might be a defensible argument if the laws were applied equally in the United States. What has happened is that we have so many laws that the government doesn't even know how many laws there are anymore[0]. This has led to something called selective enforcement[1]. When everyone breaks the law, but you are twice as likely to be punished for it if you are one color vs another, then personal responsibility has very little to do with it. The government is setting up an environment where they can punish whomever they want, whenever they want, and then punishing the people they don't like for non law related reasons

Also they aren't very good at the collecting part if they let you just disable, and make it known that you can, while also providing versions (the OSS version) that don't even have the data collectors.

Quality of life definitely seems terrible in Vancouver, but only because of housing costs. Everything else seems amazing.

I live in Portland, Oregon, which has weather that is essentially identical to Vancouver. It is amazing here. Winters are gray, which I have actually grown to enjoy, but not cold. And it snows a couple of times of year, which is the perfect amount of snow. But spring, summer, and autumn are so much better than what I grew up with in California.
How is it not within C? FILE * Streams are defined by the C language. When you write a byte into a file, and there is no external meddling, you can read the same byte back. A stream is just a language-defined dynamic data structure which retains the last value that was stored into it, like a list or hash table.

C also has declarations and for loops. If you use them to build your Universal Turing Machine, why doesn't the same objection apply to those features? I mean: "but you're not expressing declarations or for loops in C, you're just invoking these ready-made feature by their convenient, ready-made syntax!"
