Indeed! I never intended for Browsh to replace lynx et al. They serve similar but distinct purposes.
That sounds like they're re-encoding releases by other groups? If so I wouldn't trust anything they say about quality.
A lot of people just put the stream on the background and go about doing their thing, it's like turning the radio while working for some.
"Why do you think my coding standards are under any more suspicion than anyone elses" Because my presumption is that this is running on my servers (where I'm likely to need lynx, currently). The domain where it's running, nothing personal.
He didn't "make" it off them. This isn't from profit that he just didn't share with his workers, it's just the current market value of his stock holdings.

Which means it's paper wealth. Which means there's no way he could turn any significant fraction of that into USD or any other form of value without obliterating the value.

Do you have data to back that up?
At that price, better to buy a stamp and write the author directly, including a check big enough to cover hardcover list price, plus postage. They might have an extra copy in a box in storage somewhere, and they might even sign it for you.

I'd be afraid that if I ordered the conspicuously expensive one, it would show up hollowed out and filled with dirty fentanyl-heroin, or the book is utterly normal, and the seller is a money launderer that now has my home shipping address.
I find the irony in so many Americans being outraged at a foreign state influencing another state's elections to be deliciously intoxicating.
I agree that a corporation can make what would be perceived as moral actions, exactly due to the human staff running it, but that does not erase that morals does not factor into the objective function that a corporation is meant to optimize. This is exacerbated as the morals of its actions become difficult to analyze for the individual and the moral actions of employees becomes less individually significant. The concerted effort, on which the fitness of the corporation is ultimately measured, will still amount to the optimization of the bottom line.

This is especially true when the corporation outgrows the control of its original founders who may have had a moral vision.

In the end the analogy I am making is that a corporation has reins, and as it grows it becomes increasingly unwieldy for the handlers (= staff) to direct it where it does not want to go (away from profit).

It is of course easy to have a corporation act moral when this objective overlaps with optimization of its objective function. I don't consider such a happy occurrence to qualify as truly moral, however.
He's going to be many times over the richest person in history before long. This has been clear for a long time if you look at the rate of growth of his wealth. But it's not bad news. Bezos has an unmatched ability to create infrastructure that works well and is low cost.

E-commerce is a very competitive market and yet Amazon grows every day. Why? Because consumers trust Amazon's reviews and return policy. It's way better than what most retailers offer. The reviews are unparalleled and offer consumers tremendous power against firms that try to rip them off.
I use ">" because most people on HN can read raw markdown. Other people use HN code-blocks because they more closely resemble the indentation that ">" produces in markdown. I can't fathom why one method would be vastly preferred over another, or why it needs to be policed like this.

They'll never get that far. Even when desperate the 90% are easily divided against each other.

Disease, war, some other ecological disaster... a divided and very unequal nation cannot respond to these stresses. This is what ultimately balances things, it's a shame that so many many lives will have to be destroyed in the future because we are too timid to fix the problem now.
My understanding is that, while California voted to become a Republic, it was never made official. Texas is the only state in America to be its own country first.
$12/hour is inhumane?
LOL, no CEO's in the modern era aren't interested in buying assets or growing revenues organically. They are interested in juicing EPS from quarter to quarter. That's why 2018 is already set to be the largest in record history of stock buybacks. That means corporations c-suite execs are deciding to go to the bond market & issue debt so they can take that money & use it as an open tender in the market every single day buying back shares so EPS gets juiced (smaller denominator). Then they promptly sell stock options to this new bidder on the open market... beautiful isn't it? 2018 will also be on record as the largest insider selling year & that's no coincidence. It's just like George Carlin said "it's a big fucking club & you ain't in it"
Wait, what? I didn't say GDPR was confusing to me. Also, they said they'll be compliant in some time in the future so I don't really see what you're getting at here. Hope it's just a misunderstanding ;)

The thing is I don't want to be without such a service for a longer period of time so I'm sadly probably not coming back.
There's going to be a great liberal age in the 2020s though. Thanks to Trump, state legislatures and governors are turning blue, just in time for the 2020 gerrymandering, which will reinforce a Democratic majority for decades to come, and finally put a nail in the coffin of anti-government Republicans.

Pendulum theory of politics is real, and it's great.
So let me get this straight:

Implying that someone holds a racist ideology: unacceptable ad-homenim.

Actually holding a racist ideology: just fine, or at least we can't stop it without censoring free thought.

Also I don't know why you keep going on about 4chan. Nobody else is talking about that example (mostly because it was an obvious bad-faith troll and isn't worth talking about.)
Anytime US police are shown on TV it's staggering to see how many are of them are obese. How can these police officers function in their jobs being so large? There must be yearly fitness tests to weed out people like that. Surely someone 6 feet tall 300 or 400 pounds can barely walk let alone run after someone.
I'd love to see a serious breakdown of this. All I know is that anecdotally Browsh is very similar to a well configured VNC connection.

With my small touchpad on my laptop, I was unable to even get past the first entry. Closed the tab instantly after that.

I'm sure the info was enlightening, but totally unreadable to me.
There is a bit of uniqueness that companies actually have, and the rest of “how we do things” and “what our processes are” is basically a symptom of inertia and - how the last system worked. It will turn out that every process and every structure is influenced by the system that is used. They are one.
So the idea of customizing a business system to fit a business doesn’t exist - in reality it’s often customizing it to fit whatever the last system did (to processes and structures), which is something else, and not nearly as great sounding an ideaas “tailoring a system to our unique business”
The key is to identify what parts of the process are “how we always did things, but for no apparent reason” which probably turns out to be a lot of things. It’s painful because it causes a lot of turmoil when everyone has to question every process. But it’s good pain.

I’m strongly agreeing with the GP: it’s both better and cheaper to at least meet half way with software like this. It’s simpler to change processes than to customize business systems.

What becomes painful is that the deployment of some new business system now became a massive reorganization and a complete overhaul of all business processes. But this is still less painful than customizing SAP to any large degree.
Musk is a narcissistic asshole. That's all. I hope more people will see it now.
Tesla shares fall 3.5 percent after CEO Musk abuses British diver
Most Americans have guns. The police has better weapons, but it would be a war of attrition, and I doubt most police would want to go on killing sprees against their fellow countrymen.

Although I doubt it'd reach the point of massive insurrection. That would require a total loss of trust in the government, and I think we're still far from that.
Depends on the complexity of the interactions between variables. There are plenty of examples where we have excellent local models, but make (comparatively) worse prediction at scale. A pretty classic example is biology - we have excellent knowledge about how genotypes work and their interactions in cells, but models of phenotypes are typically expensive, error-prone, or non-existent.
According to this source [1], dictator not monarch would be the proper term, as the transfer of power for a monarchies is familial, and the transfer of power for a dictator is political/a coup.

Without seeing into the future, everything since 1917 has been the latter.

Well God spent most his money on gambling.
I assure you it’s not an AstroTurf. I’m highly critical. I used to own some of their stock before they started doing things I didn’t like (YEARS ago, when they first hit $100).

I don’t like the way Musk tends to run things, always in a panic and missing dates.

I don’t think it’s smart to ignore decades of hard won wisdom about building cars. You don’t have to follow it, but you shouldn’t blindly toss it out.

On a personal level I don’t like the design of the interior of the 3. The S/X seem nice enough.

But my criticism does not come from being paid to make them look bad. No one is paying me anything and I don’t hold any of their stock anymore.
Amazon (probably) makes about as much money from advertising as they do from their retail operations. When the margins for advertising is ~50% and retail is ~5% a little bit of ad revenue can go farther than a lot of retail revenue.

Of course that analysis ignores that the retail business is what allows Amazon to have an advertising business. But the GP is largely accurate. Amazon is most well known for their retail but it's not really what makes them the money. AWS is their cash cow and advertising is becoming their second.
Oh! That's why commanderroot was always popping into my streams.

I've set all my streams to be placed in the 'Small Streamer' community. In theory people go to streamers in that community and watch for a bit to help boost your viewers, and make it easier for people to find your channel while browsing. Whoever made the community also set up a few bots to join after you've been streaming for a while.

I've noticed that although they show up in the viewers list in chat, the actual viewer count doesn't go up. I wonder if twitch viewers are counted with the number of RTMP streams going, instead of just the number people in chat.
Not suddenly, no, but with training? Sure. HTML is not rocket surgery.

If you check CPI and income by percentile over time you get a pretty good idea.

Or run it right now with:

If your use case for trying an established browser involves docker, we might want different things from a browser. I like the idea of browsh too, but it is not a browser.
I'm not an aerospace nerd. I think I was once, in my teenage years, but that was a long time ago and I don't know what I'm talking about. Here is my completely unqualified opinion.

It seems like manned fighter bomber aircraft are fast becoming an outdated concept. Drones can be lighter, turn harder and crucially not endanger the life of the operator. Why is the MOD committing £2bn to building new ones? Fighter aircraft historically take decades to be developed. The current typhoon mentioned in the article began life in 1983, before I had my teenage plane fascination and subscription to takeoff magazine, and as far as I know the UK is still waiting on delivery of some of the initial orders, 35 years later. We can assume that this tempest isn't going to be delivered until at least 2040 at which point drones will be phenomenally more capable than they are now. A fighter built to be flown by a human but also function as a drone as an afterthought will have next to no hope against whatever unmanned tech exists then. Unmanned planes, built from scratch to be pilotless can be much much lighter because they need no human support systems (air, controls, ejector seat) They can also iterate a lot faster because they don't need to meet safety standards. This thing feels like a dinosaur already, by todays tech.

Pouring £2bn into a fighter in 2018 seems like a completely political move, a Brexit bluff and mere posturing from Theresa May.

But maybe I'm wrong. Somebody explain why I'm wrong?
Stalin could "buy" vastly more than a 1.8 million person-years. There were approximate 10x that many Soviet citizens during his lifetime, and he was in pretty much total control of all of them, for as long as he wanted, not just a year.

This is true, but we have a lot of work to do before we have the first part sorted.

Right now we're looking at a scenario where attention's becoming a marketable commodity, but the penalty for failing to maximize it is starvation and ruin, because food and shelter are far from being a given.
If you sell off your 401k, the stock price dips a fraction of a cent. If he sells his Amazon holdings, the value completely craters. In that way, his holdings aren't necessarily worth what the market currently says they are.
Please explain how Amazon will gain a monopoly on stuff and moving stuff around.

I stopped buying shit from Amazon and haven't had a problem finding things elsewhere. Yeah, I pay 1% more... big deal. Fuck those guys.

You can put probabilities on it, but the chance a game ends tied is rather high to begin with. 25% of this years knockout games were draws, and a 1/4 chance the game is decided by a coin flip is already enough to ruin predictions.
That is a remarkable cost for a structured parking space! In America the construction cost is like $20-30k (17-25k EUR). I bet you could find projects for more than that but nothing like 70k EUR.
The GraphQL Engine is written in Haskell, the Console in JavaScript and the CLI in Go. The repo contains all the three components. :) (I am one of the maintainers)
His point is probably UNIX didn't won -- Linux did.
I agree – but that doesn't actually challenge my argument. I would be reluctant to use this due to the very tight coupling to GraphQL and Postgres.

Unless – of course – you simply want something working quickly that does not need to be maintained or kept alive for a long time.
A new way to visualize Bitcoin transactions
It definitely depends on the company. There are a few companies that are pretty fast to update including Github. Many are ok like Twilio, Atlassian, and Mailgun (not super-fast but definitely updated pretty consistently). Then it follows a long tail where you have companies like AWS who only update after major outages and usually after an hour. Symantec is probably the worst case where I've seen that they started updating and then forgot to finish updating.
If they're not in the config file, where exactly are they then?

A text file sitting next to the config file? I can't see any benefit to that arrangement over just using comments in the file.

Comments that exist in the file in the repo but get stripped out by the deploy process? Again, there seems to be no point to doing this.

Commit log messages? I agree commit logs can sometimes be valuable to see the context of a change, but 1) they're fundamentally about documenting _changes_, not the contents themselves, and 2) the UI is really clunky: git blame, find the line you want context for, then git show on that commit.
The sarcasm here isn't necessary. I wasn't claiming that it was the author's duty to educate the reader about the Great Firewall, government censorship and invasion of privacy, copyright law in China, or anything else. Obviously, most everyone reading this is aware of those things at least to some degree. But leaving them out of any serious discussion of the differences between the technology economy of China versus the US is a glaring omission.

This is especially true when it seems to be simply ignoring elephants in the room, such as in the oblique references to security/privacy or copyright law, or claiming that talking about censorship is "unfashionable". For another example, the article spends a good deal of time talking about WeChat, one of several unicorn technology companies which, while certainly it's been very innovative in its history, likely only exists in large part due to the blockage of Facebook and Twitter.

This isn't knee-jerk sinophobia, this is pointing out some pretty obvious holes in the discussion here and speculating as to the reason for them. Of course, the overall tone of the article is rather fawning, but this is Hacker News so that's nothing out of the ordinary.
Part of my point would be that you can have that in C as well.
Carl Icahn [sort of] just did this to Bill Ackman:

In my opinion, the biggest risk to Bezos' wealth is the same thing that drew me into the service to begin with. In the mid-to-late 2000s it was easy to go to Amazon, search for "thing I want" and blindly purchase the 4.5-5 star item with enough reviews to appear legitimate. I could do this and expect to get a great product _every_ time. Now, I find myself spending an hour screwing with the filters and reading reviews to figure out which listings are noise with fake reviews and which ones are for real. And even then with many products fulfilled by Amazon, you end up having to read reviews to figure out which seller to buy from to get the real item and not a counterfeit.

This combination of fake reviews and counterfeiting is what I think threatens Amazon's position. I don't make many large purchases on Amazon any more as a result of the risk, and those that I do make are fulfilled by the manufacturer so I know what I'm getting is legitimate.
This is pretty much Kohl's business model. The list price is a joke and typically your "savings" will be 2-3x what you spent on any particular transaction. It's a dumb and obvious scheme, but it seems to work.
>>Funny how HN comments are so full of complaints about practices that inhibit businesses our system is actually designed for. What makes coops and communes so easy?

Insofar as there are obstacles to starting businesses, communes, etc, they are a result of interventions by the state that inhibit the free market, like permitting and licensing requirements, so the solution there is to go more toward a free market, not less.

>>Marx didn’t even defend it.

That's extremely disingenuous. He authored it. He titled it 'The Communist Manifesto', thus placing it at the center of his political platform.

I log everything worth remembering and some. Whether it is something I did, a link I want to read, or something I bought. I use a file called log.txt. It is synced across all my devices. I have a very minimal format that goes like this:

# 16/07/2018
- read about did.txt on HN
- [ ] write about log.txt on HN
- cost: 2.9€ coffee at 93

I grep for - [ ] to see my incomplete tasks, and add an x like - [x] when the task is complete. When the file grows large I move months to separate files.

I tried Evernote, onenote, physical notebooks and a hundred other tools. This is one that I settled on. All I need is a text editor on any platform.

Back to the log, there are several times I have visited it to find out what happened during the day. I use it at times as a review of how well the week went and what I could improve on.
An important thing to remember is how jaw-droppingly terrible Ethereum is. The cost to perform one million adds is about $30. Storage costs $5 million / GB. That's on the order of 10^9 times worse than a normal system. If these people managed to make Ethereum three orders of magnitude more efficient without any compromise (which will never happen), it would still be so inefficient that I would struggle to think of a use case.

Ethereum isn't merely useless. It's so terrible that it transcends the human brain's sense of scale. If I were a malicious person spreading misinformation I wouldn't have the audacity to make up numbers as bad as the reality.

This doesn't really communicate anything. All the examples are something of this ad about americans liking cars was targeted to americans who like cars. I don't at all deny Russia meddling, but the website does a poor job at showing what they were trying to influence.

Example:
This ad targeted people interested in same-sex marriage and 12 more.

We speak for all fellow members of LGBT community across the nation.

How is this influencing anything, all it does is advertise a group to people who would be interested in that group? They aren't stoking the flame or promoting racism/etc.
How do you justify commuting in a car with poor crash ratings? Leaf is a small (tiny) car from a relatively low rated manufacturer. I understand that somebody may not be worried about dying in a car accident, but the problem really is being hurt and surviving. Assuming you are an engineer, concussion, brain damage, can't work, can't support family, burden on everyone, financial ruin. The car cost is a minor issue, considering.
