> Extremely narrow, dangerous roads.

Interesting you say that, I find UK roads to be pretty safe, and US I find worse than most of Europe, particularly freeways. [1] indicates that the fatality rate in the US is almost twice what it is in the UK.

British weather is obviously a cliche, but having lived in a few other places I like the temperate nature (but then I would - I'm British). I spent a while in Arlington VA, and was extremely cold in the winter (-10 degC and snowing for multiple weeks), and very hot and humid in the summer. The more temperate climate here means you don't get extremes, and you can't beat the good parts of UK spring.

Because it didn't have the space, and it apparently is not programmed to steer round obstacles (a much more tricky job to tell where you can steer to as opposed to staying in between what look like lane markings).
Could you give me a concrete example?

To me, it sounds like you are describing a naked short call, or a short put.

It is not a spread. By definition, spreads have limited risk, and limited rewards.

The four main types of spreads. Take a look at the PNL diagrams. It is limited risk.

I didn't mean to imply that this is an absolute. But you may have noticed a lot of 'Nim is not a new language' sentiment in this discussion. In my mind, and I may be wrong, this is largely the result of the fact that the language has been around for a very long while without hitting v1.0. This makes the group of potential users very nervous. The longer they leave this unresolved, the more likely it is that the train will leave the station without them. It seems like now is a good time for Nim, with a lot of interest, but this must be addressed. The wonderful book Nim in Action, which I recently purchased, only makes sense if 1.0 is on the horizon. Otherwise, why bother with a published book on the language? Again, this is just my opinion but I'm sure that it's shared by at least some others. It is in my view the biggest obstacle holding the language back from more widespread adoption. I want the language to succeed and that's why I press the issue.
Holy shit this has the NIPS format.

If this was submitted we are certainly in the dankest timeline.
The production implementation is still way incomplete unfortunately.

But your point is well taken and getting going with polyfills where possible is a great idea. Things will be much nicer when this all gets filled out and consistent across engines.

You mean JavaScript not Office 365 right? They are working on compiling C# to Web Assembly FYI.
Not many people are going to fit those criteria. Its like BT's former performance management system to get a cat 1 (top level) you had similar criteria.
There, the vendor will be redhat or ... who will be supporting it longer. What enterprises mean by support isn't provided by the PSF anyway.

They support their products 10 years, or indefinitely if you pay extra for it, so Redhat will support Python 2 until June 30, 2024.

If I understand it correctly, that means CentOS will too.
If there was regulation, it doesn’t matter if they have a conflict of interest, because it would be illegal to prefer their own traffic.

If there is no regulation, AT&T has the exact same incentive to abuse their market position to make more money whether or not they own Time Warner. Whether they own Time Warner or not, they can make more money by being a non-neutral provider. Will they suddenly have a greater interest in money after they acquire Time Warner?
I agree mostly with what you've said, however:

> - Extremely narrow, dangerous roads.

Roads are much safer in the UK than the US. [1]

You need to be careful though because the microphone is in the remote control instead. So buy the remote control WITHOUT voice control, get rid of the remote that comes with the TV, and you're good. There will be no mic's in your tv setup. (This will cost you a bit extra. About 20 or 30 bucks for a generic one.)

A second problem is that it is a smart tv, so you have to make sure to NOT connect it to the internet and get your smart services via a box you control. (I haven't been able to prove that Sony siphons smart data usage from its tv's the way the Samsung Android tv's do, but it is technically possible for them to do so.)

In any case, under no circumstances should you get a samsung. You can't even use those tvs without the privacy invasion equipment activated.
The Fed can inflate away the value of those transactions anytime they want and not only do you have zero control over this process, it is not even possible to predict it.

The complexity of the financial instruments used by the Fed is intentional and serves to obscure the fact that they are essentially giving free money to large banks and corporations.

Corporations are not getting bigger because they're more efficient at delivering value to consumers - They're getting bigger because the Fed makes sure of it.

The Fed is like a river; those who are closest to the source can get the most out of it. In this case it means bankers, financiers and corporations. Regular workers are far downstream, they get whatever is left.

Nono, I'm talking about fun equipment, not gym style. Adult-compatible and -allowed ropeways (also without seats, you just hang on) and slides and seesaws and carousels.

The local indoor playground used to have an evening where they inflated the inflatable structures a bit more and only let adults in (so no crushed kids). You can power yourself out very fast like that, especially if you bring some friends. That's the feeling I want, not a gym.

Ask HN: What pros and cons of freelancing in 2018?
I'm Garry, working on a service for freelancers. Currently, the trend of gig economy is growing. I had been a freelancer before I joined the project. I thought that I can do my own business. I faced a lot of problems finding jobs. When I met my CEO, I understood that want to do this solution for myself and others.

When we started our project, the pros and cons to be a freelancer were:
Pros:
-Be own boss;
- Flexible working hours;
-Choose clients that you like
Cons:
- Unstable financial situation;
- Insurance issues;
-Too difficult to find the first client.

We develop this service that helps to find freelance projects faster (http://periodix.net). It aggregates freelance jobs leveraging Artificial Intelligence to help freelancers win jobs faster.

What are pros and cons of freelancing at the moment? Why do people become a freelancer?
This is probably one of the craziest easy tests I've read about in a bit.
No, that's not what the paper states.

>From March 1, 2017 to March 31, 2018, the actual Bitcoin price rises from around $1190 to $7000 for a 488% return. In contrast, the price series without the 87 Tether-related hours ends at around $4100, a 245% rise

>These 87 events account for less than 1% of our time series (over the period from the beginning of March 2017 to the end of March 2018), yet are associated with 50% of Bitcoin’s compounded return

They don't claim that all the price increase is correlated with Tether, but that it was certainly a big factor.
Oh, I'm sorry I interrupted your dog whistle. Don't be such a creep, you're not fooling anyone.
No, my logic is that no one can compete with an already present oligopoly.

Opening that door is fruitless, because it is still impossible for a small business to compete with the oligopoly.

ISPs are already very difficult ventures. There is a huge upfront cost, including infrastructure and land rights, that incumbents have already either paid or had paid for by government aid. There has also been huge support from government for incumbents. New ventures are risky, so incumbents are almost always chosen for tax spending.

And let's not blow this out of proportion: That door is not huge. It is barely significant in ideal circumstances. Infrastructure quality and price matter more than net neutrality to most consumers.
I actually plan to, but there's so much overhead and it's a personal solution.

Ask HN: Do you want to host a delegation of Italian entrepreneurs this October?
Hi, I will be guiding a delegation of Italian entrepreneurs (both from manufacturing and services) in Boston and San Francisco this October (13th-21st).

We are part of the biggest Italian manufacturing lobby (Confindustria).

We are looking for companies with interesting business models, technological quirks, or a very interesting practice that a non "high tech" business might be interested in discovering/learning/taking inspiration from.

We don't ask for much, just a one-two hour visit in which you showcase what you do.

Let me know or ask me for info!
I'd say there's a simpler explanation. Bitcoin has a limited predictable supply, so its price is mostly a function of the demand. And demand correlates with expectations, that typically follow the hype cycle [0]. I'm not sure how much someone managed to single-handedly manipulate the price, but the plain old human psychology, FOMO and the positive feedback loop for media writing about bitcoin demand definitely played their role. All by the book really.

If nothing changed, what's the value of BTC, then?

You can't have it both ways. You can't credit it for enabling good illegal transactions, but disavow yourself from all the bad illegal transactions (because they would have happened anyways!) It's an agnostic protocol, you get the bad with the good.
I have some industry knowledge. You are exactly correct.
For my case?

Do you not mean "for the claims made by tether on their homepage to be true"?
No, the TL;DR is that all semi autonomous systems ignore stationary object as it is difficult to precisely measure if the object is in the lane. Highways have a ton of stationary object such as overhead signs, debris, construction stuff. Trying to accurately process all of these items will lead to frequent wrongful hard braking leading to rear ended accidents. That's why they are ignored.
I think the parent meant overall benefits of the location: low polution on the island, iodine from sea around and fresh seafood and vitamin D boost with lots of sunny days.
Bitcoin could go the way of any number of other cyptos; back to zero.

In any case, nobody uses Bitcoin as a currency because it's logistically harder for 99.9% of people, and nobody uses it as a store of value because its insanely volitale. Bitcoin is really just a speculative asset.

Here is one thing I have trouble understanding, despite working in cybersecurity.

If I run a VM, I have to harden that VM. If I run a Docker container on top of that, I now have to harden the Docker container as well. This is more work, and a greater “surface area” of attack.

Forgive my ignorance, but do most ppl run Docker through managed PaaS services now, so that they don’t have to worry about the double work of hardening the VM? That’s the only way I see it making sense long-term, where the Cloud providers manage the physical infrastructure like they do now as well as the EC2 / IaaS later.

You must live in one of the few places in the US where high-speed internet is available through multiple providers.

That is definitely not the norm. Most people won't be able to simply switch to the least nasty provider.
I really don't understand why this is a bad practice. I know it is horrifying to give your web history to total stranger for god knows what purposes they will use. But going extra mile to implement privacy so that no site/some sites could talk behind your back (looking at you firefox multi account containers) seems like an equally horrific act that cripples websites not ad providers.

When I used these kind of precautions I saw that analytics got no access and I believe most of the site-owners need these information to operate/develop their sites and it seems like a lot of work to implement those in-site tracking features yourself. Or I started to see random ads all over the place like early 2000s, I do enjoy targeted ads because when I am looking for something those ads could help a lot, only if there is a way to stop them after I made a purchase though.

So, if anyone could simply explain why this is SO bad or send me to correct discussion (I do believe these matters discussed previously a lot).

I agree most comments here are confusing what's being taught in schools with what was a ridiculous "compromise" in school cafeterias.

But I'm sure the reason kids threw away fruits and vegetables because they were terrible; not necessarily because they were healthy. I don't know if it's a low value put on food or cost-cutting...I'm sure both are related. You can see this in places other than schools, outside of every corporate meeting is a tray of terrible honeydew and cantaloupe. Most lettuce and tomato don't really have flavor but seem to leach off-flavors. In my personal experience, when I find out someone says they don't like a certain food about half the time it's because they've never had a good example of it.

It's difficult because fresh food spoils so much more quickly than other, cheaper, and less healthy foods. But what's crazy is that today we have way better technology than most of human history to make even the foods most prone to spoilage cheaper an accessible...it's just relative to frozen pizza and ketchup it's more expensive.
Adding to the other replies, there's also IndexedDB, which can store considerably larger amounts of information cross-session.
What you are quoting about banks and bubbles is all in hindsight. At that time everyone and their grandmother thought real estate could only go up.

So, if you have data to backup the fact that bitcoin is not in a bubble, please show that. Until then it is just your gut feeling nothing more.

> What gives gold its value? It is not that it is used in jewelry.

But statistics disagrees with this point:

https://www.statista.com/statistics/274684/global-demand-for...

I haven't calculated but quick eyeballing tells me jewelry beats investment by a far far margin.

Additionally, gold for the most part is a risk-off (safe harbor) asset. As in people rush to gold when markets are crashing because it is supposed to be divisible etc. On the other hand people rush (and encouraged no less) to put money in bitcoin when markets are booming. So my gut feeling is that once we hit a rock in these booming times and S&P drops people will still prefer gold. But let's see how bitcoin performs during a market crash before we talk about it's investment potential in the same breath as gold.
Unpatched systems can leak SIMD/FP state between privilege levels. Pretty fucking high severity since that's where we stick private keys these days.

100% not true. Concepts and tools are not just hard with no shortcut. They can be hard++ or hard-- (forgive the pun on your C++ reference) depending on how the concepts are delivered and how the tools are designed and implemented.

Yes, viz can't become basket weaving. But there is always a spectrum on which things can be made more or less difficult.

> Make the web app intuitive enough to not require any training? Strangely, I never hear people needing any "training" to use the latest Facebook or Snapchat - maybe the real answer is to actually hire a competent UX designer?

Facebook has a terrible UI and I'd wager the majority of people who use it aren't aware of half the hidden features on there. In fact I can think of 4 occasions just off the top of the head where that's happened (wife couldn't find the option to share a FB group URL, people not finding options to subscribe or unsubscribe from a particular discussion, I can never find the damn "report this comment to a moderator" option in FB groups when I need it).

As for Snapchat, that app hardly compares to the level of complexity that a typical POS system would need.

Most importantly though, I don't really want to be the unlucky guy who has to wait there patiently while a member of staff guesses their way through a transaction. Let alone deal with the hassle of escalating things to a manager when said staff inevitably makes a mistake due to a lack of training.
