If that's true (and I think it's becoming obvious that it is), then Google's leadership is going to have increasingly bigger clashes with its own developers in the future, as I imagine most of them believe in the exact opposite principle.

No wonder they're removing mentions of Don't be evil from their work of conduct. They're starting to train a "new generation" of developers that follow commands and don't question the company's leadership, even when it breaks the company's own promises and rules.
Collecting some info that is floating around, the answer is "all of them". There is some automatic moderation, there is soma moderation by the mods, and there is some moderation by users using the flag/vouch links.

In case you see something very bad you can contact the mods hn@ycombinator.com . You can also ask them about this question, but I doubt they will provide too much details because the detail of the moderation system change from time to time without warning and because it's part of the secret sauce.

To each network their pros and cons, I think if you look at it from a pirating point of view, torrents seems to tick all the technical boxes.

If you talk about it in terms of corporate use / pirating fads / user experience etc. I don't know
At this point the success is not technical anymore and will depend on the network effect (pun non intended).
I used to think that too, but at the rate JS developers are creating package it wouldn't take very long before all decent, easy to remember names to be used up. Surely you don't want Alibaba to name a product in Chinese sounded English which no one could spell or remember right?

If it is the same old entrepreneur visa, then one of the requirements is having £200K in the bank which means its not for early startups rather for well established or well-funded ones.
But printing the money is only useful in that it manipulates the market price to go that 10% higher which is where you make the profits.

If they printed that money and everyone found it worthless and the market didn't response they wouldn't have a business model.

Edit: I guess I should say that's the conjecture of those saying Tether was created purely for profit based on market manipulation. I don't have an inside knowledge on what was going through the heads of those at bitfinix who created it.
Is it possible that the kinds of people military entering service has changed over the years in Norway?

I haven't searched very hard, but it isn't clear how the conscription/selection criteria has evolved over the years. These would be very hard variables to properly control for.
Not doing anything about CSS isn't separation of concerns, it's just a leaky abstraction. Separation of concerns implies some work was done to achieve some level of decoupling that would otherwise be tighter.

In fact, the criticism that react components can have style clashes is precisely one of not having enough separation of concerns. The fact that there are numerous libraries to address that deficiency further indicates that react as a platform is severely affected by the underlying level of abstraction when it comes to styling.

It's fine to defend a technology you like but calling a weakness a strength does nobody any favors.
I agree that Netflix has a very limited offering. You won't find any of the classics in there when it comes to movies. You can't really use it as a movie library, in other words.

Spotify actually does have a very large number of songs, and I have no trouble finding classics in many genres - as well as completely new work.
Something I don't get, people say something along those lines -- that with earth-like conditions, blah-blah, earth-like planets, ... then life!

But also experts claim life only arose once on Earth. So, in a place with perfect conditions, the perfect distance from the sun, the perfect atmosphere, perfect trigger, perfect environmental conditions, life only started once! Doesn't that make it so infinitesimally unlikely that even with millions, billions, of planets with the right conditions we still shouldn't expect abiogenesis to occur.

The same arguments that make for extraterrestrial life surely stand against the uniqueness of anything. We know things that are unique. Seems like it's mostly faith based assertion.

> There's always something better. There must be something on the horizon.

If something is robust and efficient, why does there need to be something new to replace it? It serves the purpose and solves the problem well, why would you replace it with something new simply for the same of something new?

DOS isn't a great example, DOS is a much bigger system than something like BT. BT is more of a protocol than a piece of software, and even in that case there are piece of software which have existed for decades without the need to be replaced for the reasons above.

New does not mean better, and just because something is old does not mean it's bad or there is something better out there. Perhaps we come up with something that comes after torrents, but we shouldn't do it for the sake of it, it should be because torrents don't work for a use case or we've come up with a faster / more robust way of doing it.
I feel like the guys in Office Space here, but I'll buy some subscriptions to Vibe if somebody can explain theoretically how you can convert a large sum of ill-gotten cryptocurrency to usable money without getting immediately caught?

From the article it sounds like the attackers' wallet id is hard-coded into the malware. I'm not familiar with monero, but aren't all transactions in cryptocurrency public and permanent?

Right, its been the argument for the past year in the crypto space, and this is because of a lack of transparency from Bitfinex, which is the right move for Bitfinex. Many people are just assuming the worse, as they have no proof for the best case or the worst case.

Every OTC desk I talk to always brags about how much demand there is for large buy orders, especially during the dips. If Bitfinex's Tether works as created, then any surge in demand will result in new tether's being created, this is the only way Tether can sustain it's peg.

IF current cryptocurrency owners are storing value in Tether so they they don't lose money, then more Tether's should be printed.

ELSE IF new cryptocurrency buyers are sending fiat to Bitfinex and get Tether, then new Tether should be printed

The main gotcha is that no Tether's have been destroyed, to my knowledge. And this is from just looking at the OMNI Tether asset on Bitcoin's blockchain. But has demand for Tether ever really dropped?

I think the image needs to be an input somehow. I imagine running an image classifier (e.g., YOLO9000) to extract “pretrained” features and making those values inputs into a modified LSTM could allow learning to synthesize text and perception. I’d suggest learning new image embeddings (training a neural network to extract image features from scratch), but it’d be difficult to get enough images/enough different images.
Ah, I forgot to check Ivi. Still, Surplus, Ivi and vanilla JS are the top 3. Clearly the virtual DOM is difficult to optimize. Surplus is itself also largely unoptimized because it largely didn't need to be at the time. I had a discussion with the author on incremental reduce optimizations in the S.js issues section.

Anyway, I have nothing else to say on the matter. Clearly anything with only 10% overhead over vanilla JS is definitely fast enough, and Inferno is there now if you want something React-like.

As an aside, do you have any experience with Ivi? I'm looking to learn something else and wondering if I should dig into Web Components or something like Ivi. Web component performance was terrible last I checked.
Online payment is so much easier, and incredibly more accepted than it was during the wild Napster/Limewire/Torrent days. Companies are finally figuring out that if they just make things available, people will pay for it, too.

Network speeds have increased sufficiently that keeping vast local libraries of content the way we used to makes less sense than streaming; I get speeds from Netflix or Amazon comparable or better than I used to get over USB from external hard disks.

I'd say "it depends". If I was a solo sysadmin or a small team, I would probably use it. Big teams are harder to get "buy in" for a new language.
That's fair, the London-Manchester issue is specific to our particular client base.

However the absurd cost of low quality rail travel (often standing room only, less frequent trains following new time table, poor customer service) is real. Right now I'm paying £3.5k a year for an annual rail pass to take me into work (for instance). The alternative would be to move further into London and pay double in rent for the same accommodation / standard of living

Do you lock your front door? Is your lock unpickable, or robust to attacks from national superpowers? What formal security guarantees does it give you?

Surely you must accept that there is some scope, somewhere, for better-than-nothing security, some amount of protection that is not robust against arbitrarily skilled adversaries, but nonetheless makes it harder to break your things. So either you need to show that it is not useful in this case specifically, or you need to show that this particular formulation in untenable. Arguing about words does not get us closer to an answer; I have shown a specific threat and a specific mitigation, either it helps or it does not.
I don't know, I followed all the ride very closely, and I don't think that manipulation played that big of a role. Bitcoin was clearly undervalued at the beginning of the year, when its price was around $1,000. Bitcoin needed a protocol update, however, the community couldn't agree on how to proceed, and there was the threat of a contentious fork, where bitcoin would split in 2. In the end, the protocol update was carried out (SegWit) and while there ended up being a fork (Bitcoin Cash) it wasn't the contentious fork everybody feared.

So once that all those threats were out of the way, the price of bitcoin started climbing really fast. Korean and Japanese people started buying cryptocurrency like there was no tomorrow and the market started to overheat. Koreans wanted to buy crypto so badly, that they were paying premiums of more than 40% compared to the rest of the world. Taxi drivers in the US were promoting ICOs, EOS had huge billboards in Times Square and the euphoria that goes hand in hand with every bubble started settling in.

But everybody knew that the price growth was outpacing the increase in usage of the technology, so once the CME futures launched in December, there were no more huge news in the horizon, and the price started deflating.

So was there some kind of price manipulation going on? Probably. But looking back there is really no need for price manipulation, you can explain the price increase using any economics textbook.
The financial types who flocked to these cryptos had one goal in mind: Pump and dump in an unregulated market. Buyer beware.

> Just before he died, he was preparing a campaign to the WEST.

Why did you capitalize west? And I'm fairly certain this is not true. The best we know of his immediate plans prior to death was that he wanted to centralize his empire around babylon and then conquer arabia. Not quite "west".

But if you have sources backing your claim, I'd love to see it.
I've got a systems level project I want to play around with, however GC is not a deal breaker for me. The languages I've been considering are Rust, Nim, Crystal, and Zig. I've started writing it in Rust but the syntax is unnecessarily noisy for my taste and there are too many times I have to do similar things in a slightly different syntactic way due to some inherent idiosyncrasies, which makes the code much harder to read. In addition, it seems like there are often too many ways to do the same thing, which increases the surface area of the language.

I like Nim syntax the best, and Crystal and Zim are tied for second. I don't mind a small library / ecosystem. The main things I'm interested in are:

- I want to write once and run on Windows / Linux / Mac. (I'm not writing a GUI.)
- Concurrency and async capabilities
- Safety guarantees (both types and threads)
- Speed

I'd be interested in people's recommendations, or links to comparisons between these languages.
My dude should quit his architect positions.

Consistent hashing of messages requires that every application which handles the message will lay the fields out in the same manner, this is a recursive problem for every layer that will put its data in the UMF. This right out the gate creates caching complexity issues.

Also for being so no cache control options by default.

Also there isn’t an error handling/logging field so the responder will have to do something out-of-band to acknowledge errors.

Also there’s no mention of compression or alternative message formats, XML, proto, etc.

The sender field should likely be a URI encoded data. Then which mode (of several) which could get the message is an infrastructure not an encoding program. Getting this deep here is kind of bad, same with the TTL. If we are going this deep... why no cache control/consistent hashing/compressing?

If you care about strictness or correctness you should use RFC3339 instead of ISO8601. Also not including an implicit UnixTime/UnixTime Nano seconds is a poor choice.

Offering alternative keys for standard keys is dumb. This feels like an accident that nobody caught until later, and made a backwards compatible monkey patch.

Why haven’t you considered protobuf if you have concerns about message size, and are working in power constraints? UTF/Base64 is kind of shitte for power savings.
It’s not entirely true that robinhood doesn’t make money on transactions, given that they receive payment for order flow.

I'm no expert (which is why I ask), but I assume that blocking third-party cookies in your browser won't prevent situations like the tracker example the author provides.

That is, since you visited tracker at least once, their cookie would have been set during that visit as a first-party cookie, and therefore the http requests to retrieve the 1x1 transparent image from their server will contain the data they're after, right?

This is one of the most astute criticisms that I've seen of coding style, along with your earlier post regarding locality of reference and duplication of statements vs duplication of intent.

Is there a wider context and conversation around this kind of thing, that you know of?

I hope the researchers some how finds a way to treat brain injuries, diseases or disorders, especially if this is something that can be achieved in few days.

It's the trend of the led-emitted-light distraction theory. Computer devices should be restricted for youth until they reach college.

I think they control for this by saying inter-family variation explains almost the entire effect.

So many people I know who are not at all tech savvy buy streaming boxes that offer unlimited free channels. Those things seem to be incredibly popular. This is what has replaced Bittorrent for movie and TV piracy for the masses, or it just enabled piracy when before Bittorrent was just too complex for them. It is now just streamed on demand from a large variety of pirate sites through Kodi and friends.

The people using these generally have no clue they are pirating. It is just this box they bought that offers great value.

This is what has replaced Bittorrent because it is immediately accessible to the masses for $199 or whatever those boxes cost.

It's the exact same thing as people with bad backs. Bed rest may help the acute injury, but the best solution is to strengthen the problem area, not let it atrophy.
I think the danger is in thinking that streaming providers have everything and are incentivized to show you everything.

e.g. When you pull up an auto-generated playlist or look at recommended suggestions, are you just looking at content which the provider prefers to show you? Can you trust reviews from the same company that's selling you the content? If some content isn't on there, will it just disappear into the abyss? If the provider decides to drop some content, will you ever see it again?
I feel like this is about the same as wandering out into the antarctic pole of inaccessibility, whispering "is anyone out there" one time in 1974, waiting a couple minutes, and then pondering on how it's such an incredible statistical fluke that nobody has responded.
