It seems that way from the outside, I'll grant. But I'll explain by analogy why I don't think it's as crazy as one might otherwise at first glance assume.

It's possible to create gold artificially, but because of the cost of doing it vs just purchasing the natural stuff, you can be almost certain any gold you come into contact with is not artificially created.

In much the same way, even though there are indeed tons of theoretical attacks that compromise various crypto keys linked to massive fortunes, because of the way the sector has evolved in terms of not making high value keys available in a low security context, and mitigating those threats in a high security context, the likelihood that any given crypto "account" you care to mention will ever be hacked is similarly low. It's not worth the attackers to invest the necessary resources to snag your minor android wallet stash, and even if they tried to bring those resources to bear on Xapo's vaults, they would fail.

Also, the sector as a whole has basically pioneered a whole new class of security measures, at least to the extent they're now in reasonably wide circulation, and improved security consciousness and software in general around the space immensely, exactly because now a bug isn't just some time and embarrassment, it may well be losing millions of dollars in value. In that context it makes sense to invest in the security to do it right and think carefully about all possible attack surfaces and vulnerabilities.
Well, kinda. You can do methane to hydrogen with CO2 capture and storage.

But my big question is why would you want to convert it into hydrocarbons for transport then? Direct air capture (DAC) is a maybe-way-out-in-the-2050s technology, but even assuming it were readily and cheaply available in large scale today, doing DAC straight to storage and then just using oil and gas like we've always done would be a much cheaper and more efficient method than going what you propose. Basically:

air->CO2->storage AND (CH3)n->burn

versus

air->CO2[a] AND (CH3)n->CO2[b] + H2[b] AND CO2[a] + H2[b] -> (CH3)n->burn AND CO2[b]->storage

(Obviously not taken to be real well-defined balanced chemical reactions).

Or they require Lidar. You know, a sensor that actually detects stationary objects at a reliable rate.

Tesla is relying upon advanced AI to do things that its sensors can't do reliably. Its only Tesla who is trying to make self-driving cars off of cameras and inaccurate radar alone.

Maybe Lidar really is too expensive for mass-market adoption. But its the most obvious solution to the problem right now, instead of trying to solve harder problems (ie: camera recognition of 3d objects over trained neural nets).

and have an automatic reaction of feeling proud of the rover for a job so well done. Six years in that environment and still going. NASA obviously deserves the credit, the rover evokes that reaction non-the-less. I feel like petting it and telling it how good of a rover it has been. It makes me thankful for the immense effort, time, and resources that NASA puts into their missions, so projects like Curiosity can go on producing for years longer than they're originally scheduled to.

That is also correct:

>And for those who did not die, it's likely they would not try to commit suicide again. A 2002 review of 90 studies indicates that more than 90 percent of people who survive a suicide attempt won’t die from a later suicide attempt either.
Agree, but, this would only happen under the same conditions that would incite a bloody revolution.

You have to keep your monthly appointments and keep to their "job searching plan." This can mean that you must take part in some group events and apply for jobs based on a schedule. And if they can find a job then you can't always turn it down. Some people have said that the dealing with unemployment is almost like working a job.

To register for unemployment (benefits) you must have worked for at least 180 days in the last year. Education is included in work. So if you didn't do that then you're out of luck.

I'm not sure there is much of a market for this. Seems geared towards business users, as I can't imagine what the average person would need this for. As far as the business potential goes, I work at a company where we have many controls over data, documents, etc. for compliance reasons. I am fairly sure we would never use a service like this. The primary reason is that we would have to upload to your website the protected/controlled content, as that would mean you have access to it which would be a direct violation of the compliance practices we have in place. For content that isn't protected, I can't think of a single reason why we would ever need to track who's reading documents and what pages they are reading. Also, seems intrusive to monitor and report back that information. Most companies also have internal/intranet sites of their own where they could post the data themselves on something like a sharepoint sub-site and they could track who's accessing it. I just don't see a real market for this because I don't see a problem being solved here. Only an added layer of cost and complexity to controlling and tracking content.
One big problem is that we in general do not teach good money management in schools. Impoverished kids could at least be exposed to the principles of sound financial practices from K-12. What they actually get is maybe a few weeks of "personal finance" as a unit in a High School social studies or economics class. Too little, and too late.

All kinds of ways to do this. Younger kids could be shown how regular investment compounds over time using games that pay out the reward at the end of the school year. Older kids can do mock investments in mutual funds, etc.
It also has project management features that tightly integrate with Git repositories, which are not stored within the repository itself.

Most (semi-)serious projects make use of this, which makes migration harder.

I've read his Wikipedia page. I see work at Microsoft, Novell, an open source version of Microsoft .NET that had little to no adoption, a Microsoft acquisition, and more Microsoft employment. What's there to be excited about there?

He's not an open source developer with a great project that now leads GitHub. He's a corporate guy that now leads GitHub under Microsoft executives.
The reason why ethanol was originally interesting was stories of how Brazil reduced its fossil fuel usage by switching to ethanol. They did..but growing plants for ethanol makes more sense in the tropics than it does in a temperate landscape.

The reason why it remains politically interesting is that you can't become President without doing well in the Iowa primary, and Iowa is full of corn farmers whose income benefits directly from our ethanol policies. So every Presidential nominee from both parties have been vocally been for ethanol for some time now. And most major candidates as well. (Ted Cruz managed to get away with opposing ethanol, but I can't think of another.)

You've really never experienced being told that unless you are a minority (ideally an oppressed one) or a victim, or at the very least, you have some non-typical sexual identity, you are worthless?

It didn't. I witnessed the repository (previously #1) suddenly disappear, despite it still gaining stars significantly faster than the other trending repositories. Another repository, 'deno', had been on Trending for a significantly longer time, so it's unlikely that the anti-Microsoft repository was automatically removed to make room for other repositories.

No, what I think is that you just added some context to another person's comment. The top level comment is:

>It's interesting to hear this. If you were on HN the past week, it might have seemed from all the front page articles that GitHub was about to implode due to an an exodus to Gitlab.

and the-dude said:

>I think most people mirrored instead of closing. Spin.

You changed that to

>I think most people (who migrated away from GitHub) mirrored instead of closing. Spin.

Maybe that's what the-dude meant, I don't know. The implication is also that a significant number of users migrated and mirrored, and we have no idea if that's the case. That is my point. You can assume that many who migrated would have mirrored, that's reasonable, but it's not reasonable to assume that a significant number of people are migrating away from GH due to the acquisition, which is absolutely what the-dude was implying.

I can see the source of confusion though; I did quote the "most people" bit and didn't touch specifically on the above until just now.
I do not know, really... if not them, someone else will do however. Google has a competitive advantage (they can hire & pay well the smartest minds on Earth) and is letting it go?

>Why would VPN providers need to log but VPS providers don't?

It's a question of obfuscation. A private VPN provider is receiving explicit logs of every single URL request you make, and has access to the actual machine processing the request. A VPS provider cannot. With an IPSEC tunnel terminated inside the VM, there's no way they can see your incoming traffic. They could monitor your outgoing traffic in theory, but would have to be specifically looking for this and targeting you.
Yeah, I’d like to know the cycle efficiency.
China knows how to play the game. They know that their investment won't stay under wraps... so I don't see how this would benefit Trump. Could the trump organization have rejected China's investment into the Indonesian state project if they wanted to stay clean? Or would that require dropping out of the entire project completely, and what would the contract violation terms have entailed if they were as major a part of that project as it seems? Would the contract violation agreement result in greater than 500M losses? There are very interesting political games afoot.
It's very possible to get self-driving systems to learn to drive without killing people.

Waymo and Cruise have done a good job at that so far, by taking the conservative route of testing their systems in controlled environments before unleashing them on an involuntary public.
And funnily enough Facebook encourages this sort of behavior. So many ways to indicate your "support" for something without having to actually do anything. I've seen so many reposts of the whole "If you're my friend and gay, you're family" image.

And yeah, that's a nice sentiment. But it doesn't require anything of you. What happens when that person _needs_ something. A house, a loan, a ride, etc. "Being there" is well and good. But it's the secular version of "thoughts and prayers".
I think it's a comment about aggressive identity politics. E.g. male oppression vs females, white vs black as an inate part of being white male, etc
It is pretty well known that one of the demographics to see recent increases in suicide is white males, especially those experiencing economic stress. Since that demographic went pretty heavily for the Republic part in the last several elections, I think it's a pretty obvious possible explanation for the correlation you see.

Something that doesn't get noted enough in the tech community (and surprised me).

Farming, fishing, and forestry far outweighs other occupational groups in suicide rates for men [1].

When standardized against population, at a rate of 90.5 per 100,000 people [2]; vs the next highest, construction and extraction (52.5).

For comparison, computer and mathematical was at 32.8 for men and 12.5 for women.

Fear of the ‘SJW’
It absolutely does, although in my personal experience far, far more rarely. And even if that person was sitting remotely at their own hours you’ld then have to wait for them to get ”to work” and then do that higher-priority task and then get to your request so the overhead is still waaaaay bigger.
I feel like there's a lot of untapped potential in GitHub's profile system, and this is a good example of it. The contribution graph looks pretty -- but what if it could be a souvenir? A lot of programming projects are hard to quantify in terms of success -- besides shipping the product, it's hard to see visible signs of bug reporting, refactoring, etc.

I'd love to see GitHub selling physical tokens that measure this. She did a fantastic job with this project -- but applying it to a commercial side as part of the shop would be cool. I'm not sure how well anything like this can scale, though.

I'd also like to see more exploration beyond the contribution graph for measuring impact. I know it's not perfect, but it is neat.
This article is confusing to me because it conflates two things I tend to keep separate in my head - the changing income inequality within one country, and the income inequality of the entire world, mixed together.

Within a nation you can measure and track inequality with something like the GINI coefficient, and for nations like the US, inequality has worsened over time.

Within the world, we've seen massive improvements over time (at least that was my impression reading Hans Rosling) and it seems rather inexorable that globalization will make it improve even more over time.

I'm guessing the problem there is like how "privilege can make greater equality feel like oppression" - if the levels continue to normalize over time, then the richer countries will get (relatively) poorer. But if the richer countries have higher inequality, then that burden will be mostly felt by the richer countries' poor.
Gotcha now

Short answer:
I do not support removing welfare even though it subsidizes the wealthy

Long answer:
I don't believe that wealth redistribution is a bad thing inherently and I would not be for removing welfare to replace it with nothing. I think UBI is economically and socially Superior to our current welfare system but our current welfare system is better than nothing.

The cons to our current system are that it's increasing inequality and benefiting a fee people massively at the expense of society, but I'd rather shoulder that expense than let people die by exposing them to unfiltered capitalism which I believe would lead many people to bring entirely jobless and destitute
It would be pretty cool if someone devised a core set of meta-services (e.g. the feature branch / pull-request / review / commit that lived entirely on top of git and some simple command lines so that you could basically not care where your cloud repo was.

(I'm expecting that this has been done and I'll be deluged with links...)
I think Google's point isn't that it can't be done, or even that it shouldn't be done, but rather simply they won't do it.
Github has 28 million users with 85 million repos. Thousands is a very small proportion.

Also: Gitlab also has to exit one day. The only question is who buys them.

Or maybe unemployed people have such a bad time in central states that they leave, commit suicide, or just die off.
>> No, solar on single family homes makes them less expensive.

Then why in the world would they have to regulate it?

>> the body that enacted that would not have been allowed to enact the regulation

That 100% wrong legally. No one ever has been able to avoid regulation by claiming that the regulation imposes a net cost. That's the entire point of a regulation, to shift behavior in the absence of direct economic incentives.

In reality, this regulation is a tradeoff between higher net costs for new home builders and the need to reduce carbon emissions.

Should i have better phrased it by replacing politics with government.

Isn't government all about asking one yes or no question and collecting a response from every citizen and going forward with the majority answer.

Isn't scenarios where we go ahead with minority decisions where the issues arise?
"Right to work" makes it illegal for unions to form exclusivity contracts with businesses. That denies them the ability to freely form contracts that every other type of organization is allowed.

If a business wants to hire people who aren't part of a union, then they shouldn't have signed a contract saying that they won't.
Microsoft Authenticator is another alternative and it doesn't need anything (plus is handy for MS 2fa). There's DUO. And I'd wager there are countless other apps as the standard is really simple.
The bully / victim could be filled in with different values.

The Bully says to gay kid, your very existence offends me.

The White Bully says to non-white kid, your very existence offends me.

Make other substitutions for bully / victim as you see fit. But it's not an analogy. It really happens.
Isn't that how modular homes already work? My house is a modular. The two floors are pretty much identical under the drywall and flooring; it comes as a one or two floor option and from what I've been told they just slap the same floor on top of the first in the latter case.
They don't have to, because they get the votes anyway. Promises and sympathy seem to be all that's required.

I think that maybe the last thing humanity needs is high density- low quality- apartment blocks, built in ill-planned areas that promotes anonymity and does not promote socially sound communities.

Especially when sold at a high margin, because land value is high.
Github vs Gitlab is one commercial party against another, if the products are roughly comparable and you want to take a very strong stand in favor of either party you should declare your affiliation (or none). ACs that from the very beginning seem to have an agenda are always under that cloud, and it's easy enough to dispel any doubt.

Contrary to that there is no gain for me to be a privacy advocate.
