Instead of waiting for a bureaucratic notary to update a centralised government database 9am to midday Monday to Friday except public holidays, strikes, or other unforeseen circumstances, you interact with a distributed app hosted on a blockchain 24/7/365 which does exactly the same thing, except immediately and with no other human in the loop to slow it down or add errors.

In fact, all of the above plus all the benefits of just destroying the state completely and interacting with all the functions it used to compulsorily provide terribly only by voluntary smart contracts, much more efficiently.

His work history is materially important to his evaluation as a candidate. He wasn't great in spite of his lies, he was great because of them.

Answering a few questions in an interview is just a gut check. The real yardstick is how well a candidate worked for other companies in the past.

Anyone who's tried to get their foot in the door of an industry with an entry level position can attest to this. Even the smartest, most charismatic candidates give employers pause when they're untested.
There are countries and providers where free phone data is facebook and maybe a few other providers - see internet.org . For them, facebook, witn instant articles, is the internet, having no actual data

> "and technology which improves the effectiveness of killing terrorists and enemy combatants (and thus saving American lives) is a good thing."

There are other than American lives at stake. I suppose what you say would be true, if the U.S. used the technology to kill only those universally bad terrorists and if this somehow significantly decreased the damage terrorists do around the world.

But this is fantasy. The U.S. will most probably use this technology to detect more and to kill more, with much less regard to foreign lives than to American lives. If the technology flags a building that most probably contains a terrorist, the non-terrorist people present won't matter much to a drone whose work is killing terrorists. The building with all people near it will be gone. I do not believe the U.S. government or U.S. military care about the lives of poor people who are on the other side of the world.

Drone attacks also probably aren't that good of a service to U.S. in the long term. They generate strong opposition world-wide and probably also generate new terrorists. Killing one terrorist now in this way may mean creating 10 terrorists 10 years from now.
> – and have triggered the biggest split in the wine world for a generation

Interesting. I don't care to go into the reasons but I am pretty exposed to professionals in the wine trade, and I have not heard much about this beyond the two articles on Hacker News. I don't think the industry is paying much attention at all.

I think it is a bit like I have seen numerous hipster-ethical-organic coffee-shops come and go in my town, but Starbucks just keeps on opening new stores.

Huh? Where do you see that? The word "concentrate" doesn't appear anywhere in the article (AFAICT).
Most SVGA CRT monitors I've used in 90's and early 00's actually displayed visibly discete scanlines in any video mode with less than 480 vertical lines, this includes classic VGA 80x25 text mode (actually 720x400, and in this mode the resulting effect is in fact somewhat pleasing to look at) and mode 13h (320x200 in 256 colors with double scan) which was popular for 90's games, the effect was even more pronounced with EGA's 640x350 (which is not double scan mode).

Edit: also this effect was easily visible on Windows 9x startup/shutdown screen, which IIRC uses 320x400 unchained mode.

Edit2: somewhat relevant to this is that many late 00's LCD monitors with only VGA input are not able to reliably keep synchronisation lock in double scan modes and there is significant subset of current monitors that will simply reject any 400-line mode (and there is significant subset of modern graphics cards that output classical VGA text mode as 640x480 or 720x480)

The thing is, both businesses are about both very subjective taste, and about marketing. You'll need to find what works for you, and roll with that. In both areas, spending more money makes it more likely you avoid the absolute disasters, but it doesn't guarantee you get something more than mediocre.

What's an example of a coding problem which would benefit from all that abstraction?
My first silent system was about 17 years ago that booted Linux from a floppy drive into RAM.

This was before solid state storage options were affordable.

It was a Pentium 1 (can't remember the model) and I had disconnected the PSU fan. Ran for a long time and I used it mostly as a router.

Those scanlines were bread and butter of low budget 15KHz systems displaying non interlaced signal. That means all home computers/consoles using TV, and CGA/EGA in low res mode displaying 200 lines on cheaper monitors. VGA cards scan double when emulating CGA/EGA modes and always display at least 350 lines, no visible scanlines.

You are absolutely right, example images are pure nonsense, because they represent late nineties VGA era of DOS gaming. UFO, Warcraft, Rayman, Dungeon Hack, not a single one of those supports CGA/EGA.

Tracking emails for marketing purposes can be seen as a legitimate interest. As long, it's describe to the data-subject and they give their consent, it's allowed.

And then on top of that you have strains of yeast that are specifically bred to produce large amounts of both, such as the yeast strains used in Hefeweizen (German-style wheat beer; specifically, the cloudy kind that still contains the yeast sediment) [yes, I know you know this, but I'm explaining for the wider audience].

In fact, the main difference between German-style and American-style wheat beers is that German-style examples have lots of banana esters and clove phenols, while American-style examples don't. The sole reason for the difference is the strain of yeast used.

And it's not just a wheat beer thing: in general, American yeast strains are bred to produce cleaner fermentations than European strains. The distinct flavors of English and especially Belgian beers are due to the fermentation byproducts produced by the local yeast.

I love beer chemistry.
> And while I get the relabeled Teams stuff as Skype for Business I would assume it is also compatible with Skype for humans :-).

I don't believe it is. Skype and S4B, apart from the common name, have literally nothing in common with each other. Skype for Business is just a rebranded Lync, which is a rebranded Office Communicator.

The new board uses Teams conferencing which IIRC is also incompatible with Skype for Business (it's meant to replace it).

> different, not better

This is really important. I think some people think that the reason a $1000 bottle of wine costs that much is that it's so awesomely good that a single sip will give you an orgasm or something like that. That's not it at all. A $1000 bottle of wine costs that much for one reason only: someone with more money than sense is willing to pay that much for it for some unfathomable reason. Even if that person thinks that wine is awesome, there is no reason to think that you will think it's awesome. Everyone has different tastes.

You expect people that want copyright content for free to pay for a service that links to copyright content? Wrong audience... Some other ideas:

1) mine crypto for you via CoinHive to get access to torrent file downloads. 1,000 hashes to download one torrent file. you can further the idea and people can trade 1k hashes for one torrent download per "account", so they can build up an account with you to use
2) go to crypto faucet and submit payment to your wallet
3) run ads but has to unobtrusive since google chrome will block annoying ads

as for hosting cost, you can try offsetting some bandwidth by using IPFS for web pages and/or torrent file themselves. keep your costs down and you might be able to run lean and actually pay for your dedicated server cost. check out ovh or online.net
Same thing. Chlorine gas is commonly used in many industrial processes, but it's also a highly toxic chemical that has been used (and banned!) in warfare.

The biggest problem is so-called "dual use" chemicals and compounds where there are legitimate military and non-military uses.

You can build extremely dangerous explosives from chemicals found on the shelf at a drug store, but that doesn't mean that company is in the business of selling explosives.

A phenomenal resource for physics is the text for the Feynman lectures. And the great part - they're all online, excellently organized, and free: http://www.feynmanlectures.caltech.edu/ The lectures alone will not provide mastery, but they will provide a very solid foundation for understanding the breadth of most of all of physics. The one thing those lectures are desperately missing is a similarly well organized and presented problem set.
Coldfire is a rather different product, though. The instruction set is similar but not identical, and there's no exposed memory bus. (Most of the parts have internal flash and SRAM, like a modern microcontroller.)
MailChimp wants to embed GDPR-compliance language akin to the following:
"You acknowledge that the information you provide will be transferred to MailChimp for processing in accordance with their Privacy Policy (https://mailchimp.com/legal/privacy/) and Terms (https://mailchimp.com/legal/terms/).”

But, MailChimp allows open-tracking to be disabled. So, that wouldn’t seem to be a required element of their processing. Which means it’s for the controller to decide. I don’t understand how article 7 of the GDPR allows for email tracking to be immune from explicit consent.
I’m also a fan of the craft beer hype. I never really tasted a difference between all our local beers, they’re all the same to me... but an IPA, that’s something very different!
If they engage in outright fraud, then they are criminals, and they've probably been criminals in the past. That's why I emphasized the one thing to really check for is whether they are hiding a criminal past.

At one point, when I was running my own business, I worked with an alcoholic who was a good salesman. I knew that he could be toxic, so I structured an agreement such that I kept some distance between him and my company. I basically just offered him a generous finders fee. I told him if he could bring in business, I would give him a percentage. We got at least one big contract because of him.

I'm not saying that every company can or should work with such people. Every company is different. But if you know the circumstances of your company, and you think you can get useful work out of someone who has some known problems, then it is possible to structure a deal such that your company wins.

Although she's herself partial to wines that fall in the "natural" camp, my wife has grown frustrated and wary of the term. Robert Parker's opinion may not be the most reliable on the subject, given that he's spent most of his career lauding huge, unctuous, oaky Napa wines, but it's true that there's very little in terms of concrete boundaries for what constitutes "natural wine." And some of the practices the natural crowd wants to jettison, like adding sulfur, are essential to creating balanced, pleasant wines, and have been used for centuries. As one of our distributor friends said, "the first duty of wine is to taste good."

During a recent bottling we found ourselves forced into an interesting high-vs-low intervention experiment. My wife felt her Sauvignon Blanc was too cloudy, so we were trying to filter it as it was bottled. We made it through about 50 cases' worth, but the filters kept clogging as we bottled, which was stretching out the bottling time and threatening to cost us a bunch of money. So, for the remaining cases we bottled without the filter. For the first month or two in bottle the unfiltered wine was definitely a bit "funky" and a lot more volatile on the nose than the filtered. But now, although it's still quite a bit more cloudy, we both prefer the unfiltered Sauv Blanc.

Well they are clever, but traditional merchants in the UK always have open bottles to taste from, but also offer tasting events where you can be taught by an expert, or even the winemaker themselves. A lot more fun than the machines I think!
The private equity guy is making all the money but he is not killing the industry. The industry is dying because people don’t pay for ad-laden newspapers that they leaf through carefully every morning. 184 journalists at the Denver Post?!

Just having a large number of small producers does not imply that the market has the amount of product differentiation GP is asking for. Wine I see on shelf does not make much attempt to distinguish itself stylistically from the other products sitting next to it. Going the other way, having a small number of producers does not imply product uniformity. A single brewing company is perfectly capable of making a wide variety of beers.

The distinction between (liquid) water and ice is pretty significant for astrobiology. I feel more like we are very quickly reaching the point where we have established that our solar system is barren of any (macroscopic) life[1]. And while we might be able to detect existence of life on other systems (by some chemical signatures), I very much doubt that we are going to see any more direct discoveries of extraterrestrial life during our lifetime simply due the vast interstellar distances involved.

[1] Sure, even micro-organisms would be a major discovery, but ultimately imho of limited interest and impact.
> The opposite is true: Less personalized ads -> Lower revenue per user -> An even smaller budget for journalism.

I think he's got a point but isn't articulating it very well.

Suppose we didn't have any individualized user data but we still knew that people who read articles on medicine are more likely to be doctors and people who read articles on court decisions are more likely to be lawyers etc.

Then specialty publications would have an advantage. If an advertiser wants to reach doctors they have to go to a publication that mostly doctors read or else most of their ad spend is wasted. That allows the specialty publication to charge higher rates, because they have fewer competitors for that viewership market.

Once you have individualized user data, the advertiser can go to a populist media outlet and buy just the subset of users they want. They don't have to go to a specialist media outlet anymore so the specialist media outlets lose advertisers to the populist ones.

Meanwhile it's not actually that expensive to generate horoscopes and celebrity gossip, so there is vigorous competition driving down margins there and the increased ad revenue goes primarily to the tracking companies rather than the content producers.

It's more profitable for a content producer to get 100% of the advertiser's money than to get 15% of it even though the advertiser is spending twice as much in total, with the rest going to tracking companies and fake news outlets.

On the other hand, one could argue that the addition of American producers and American consumers has made wine significantly worse over the years as well. Robert Parker has been America’s worst wine export in the past few decades.
Go drink a Hefeweizen and tell me what you think. I recommend something by Ayinger. Though chances are most American supermarkets will just have Franziskaner, which is perfectly fine if you can't find Ayinger (note: avoid American examples, even if they call themselves "Hefeweizen". American wheat beers are a totally different style and lack the banana and clove notes of German Hefeweizen).

It's not subtle. At all. Hefeweizen contains large amounts of both banana esters and clove phenols, and drinking one is like drinking spicy banana bread. The first time I had one, it was so different from everything I had before that that it was outright jarring (this was shortly after I turned 21, before I knew much about beer).
