Author here. I'm mainly writing about decentralization that is supposed to be mainstream while also looking for historical examples. With that in mind, I've looked at:

- Dozens of file sharing apps and their protocols (focus on Napster, Gnutella, FastTrack, and BitTorrent)
- Tor, I2P
- Tor hidden services
- Original p2p Skype

If we generalize "decentralization" into "creative uses of distributed systems and/or cryptography for the sake of privacy and resilience" then we can include a bit more:

- PGP
- Willfully blind centralized systems like mega.nz

Then finally if I dip into older attempts that IMO didn't get real adoption, we can include some other interesting examples:

- Freenet
- Tribler
- Mojonation

There are systems like Diaspora and Mastodon, but they're too close to the present IMO to use as historical examples. There are also obviously decentralized/distributed systems that serve as the backbone of the internet and I do want to allocate more time to learning these deeper, but they don't feel the same.

---

Anyways, I'm not even really disagreeing with you but mainly trying to point out that I'm trying to draw from as much as possible. The original Skype stands out as a case where it seems to have no relationship with the law (https://twitter.com/backus/status/1014726515592818688).

If you have examples (failed or successful) that you recommend looking into, I'm all ears. As I've pointed out in a few other places, my point regarding the law isn't to say that this is all decentralization will ever be for. Instead, I'm saying this seems like the main point in the past for mainstream applications. Maybe decentralized apps will work as well as centralized apps in the future, but it seems like this might be far enough out that it would be incredibly risky for a startup to decentralize today when it doesn't need to.

I could say more, but this is already a lot. Thanks for reading my article!
Don't be afraid to send a letter to ask. You'll find most companies are used to handling this sort of request.

Companies often have brand usage guidelines that you can find online. Try searching for those first. I'm sure you're not the only person who has wanted to show that your service runs on AWS.
Generally, Canadian law doesn't allow games of pure chance to be run for profit, outside of a handful of exceptions like the government-run lotteries.

So to run this type of promotion in Canada, you need to set up a façade of presenting it as a game of skill or mixed skill/chance instead, which usually involves something like having a prospective winner answer a math question. Look up "skill-testing question Canada" for more info.

And Québec in particular has piles of extra rules on top of that, which often leads to "offer not valid in Québec" as part of the promotion.
You have missed the point here.

The comparison was between ElasticSearch and a relational store. PostgreSQL's JSON type is not relational. And if you are fetching any entity by a primary key then it should be O(1). The point was that document stores offer you the ability to nest data structures whilst relational forces you to join. And so if that is your query/data pattern then a document store can be orders of magnitude faster than a purely relational store e.g. 360 Customer View.

IMHO it does not make much sense receiving a salary in an asset such as a crypto "currency". At least for the vast majority.

It sounds senseless that purchasing power of someone that is averse to risk (which I would say is almost everyone in western countries) is that volatile.

With this I'm not saying thay I'm pro fiduciary money or central banks controlled by established institutuions but this is the way it works.

Again I'm not saying this is your case.
I'm aware of Servo. Servo is neat to play with, though it's pretty bad with older legacy HTML pages. Also, I'm not sure how likely Mozilla is to develop it into a product; it seems more like a testbed for later Gecko evolution (which, to be sure, is still a good thing).
Ask HN: As an Engineer, how would you like to be interviewed?
Hello HN,

Most people, if not everyone, in our field think that hiring engineers is a broken process. How do you think you should be interviewed as an engineer for the company to see your skills and strengths? How do you think a company should judge whether you are suitable for the job or not?

Cheers!
I read that comment and initially had the same response as you. But on re-reading it is good advice, and one shouldn't focus on edge cases in language, when IRL we would probably all be in furious agreement.

Obviously for most models it is simple to adapt to variable simulation periods without instability, either by microstepping (which commonly occurs anyway because the natural simulation freq is much faster than 60Hz), or because the process is just solving a stable DE or doing basic physics over a different period.

For debugging it is often much easier to run physics at a fixed rate. You do get different results at different rates due to numerical precision issues and error accumulation.

I think it starts to make sense if you can hold your data and only it share it using hashes of that data without exposing it. For example, I could hold the private key to my DNA, where each strand would be hashed allowing me to share portions of my DNA data with companies without sharing the entire thing. And it makes sense to do that over a public ledger.
That’s an interesting perspective to be sure, but let’s back up a bit. Has a blockchain proven that it can run a smaller organization yet? What happened to the DAO after all the hype and scandal?

I’m not in the anti-blockchain macro-economics fiat-currency camp or anything, but is it unreasonable to say that this stuff needs a lot more time to develop? There’s no way in hell I’d go along with laws from a blockchain-government backed by SHA256 and ED25519 in 2018, would you?

> Remember TCP/IP was developed in the 1970s so it took almost twenty years before HTTP came out, and another 5-10 years before people really started using it.

There were significant barriers to entry – network connections were slow and enormously expensive into the 90s – but TCP already had significant value by the 80s (see e.g. FTP). Within a few years of the web arriving in the 90s, there were businesses using it for revenue-positive activity.

In contrast, blockchains were available to everyone on the Internet very early on and have yet to find a single case where they’re cost effective despite the barriers to entry being orders of magnitude lower.

Feynman 100: Dick’s Tricks – Leonard Susskind [video]
Even sampling above the Nyquist rate, you can only reconstruct a signal perfectly if the samples themselves are perfectly precise - i.e., their binary or decimal representations have infinite digits. In practice the samples are truncated to a given sampling depth, and the difference is regarded as noise.

In practice though, I think you could take your idea even further into the realm of lossy compression. If you're scanning newsprint for instance, the vast majority of the page is either 1) text in a known font or 2) images rendered through halftoning, that is a regular pattern of circles wih some finite range of radii. Conceivably a system intelligent enough to recognise and encode this information might even be considered a higher fidelity scan than a simple photo, as it will repair incidental defects from the printing process.

Author here, thanks for reading!

Regarding "decentralization can only exist to circumvent the law", I don't think that in the long term (>5 years out). I touched on this a bit in another comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17641098

Regarding privacy, I'm with you there, but I'm very skeptical that very fuzzy privacy concerns can switch enough people away centralized systems with network effects (FB, Twitter, Reddit, YouTube). I think these systems will see adoption from a few groups:

- Privacy advocates and people otherwise interested in the tech by itself
- Ostracized groups. For example, see how Voat (not a decentralized system, but an example of a Reddit clone with a ideological mission) wound up as a hub for the alt-right.
- The most extreme people trying to boycott platforms like Twitter. For example, people demanding way more censorship from Twitter that are trying to make Mastodon happen because it has content warning stuff and other anti-harassment stuff from what I've heard
- Communities that are forced out by the law, like r/DarknetMarkets moving to Dread: https://medium.com/@jbackus/minimum-viable-decentralization-...

So, subcommunities definitely will exit I think but whether they go to other centralized systems depends on UX (which is harder with decentralization) unless a legal reason makes decentralization the only option.
Do you use Viado or ISE? They are like night and day. Vivado is amazing, and constantntly innovating how to make hardware design more tractable and robust. Check out a video of Vivado IP integrator and tell me you're not impressed.

I've no idea what the code looks like but it's clear whatever code was there for ISE was replaced by a ground up rewrite when Vivado came along.

Open sourcing fpga tools won't make them better. Look at any of the gEDA offerings. Compare free verilog simulators like icarus with commercial ones like VCS - even the system verilog standard that was first released in 2005 is still not supported in icarus. If open source woukd work for EDA then why is there such a chasm here?

Show HN: Display All Sci-Hub Working Links in Iframe
I've been thinking about that too. Plain URLs, just like you said. Hypertext is out. Copy paste a URL if you want to go there. Bad URLs can't hide behind innocent looking text or attention grabbing images. I'm sure most clients already turn URL looking text into links, which is fine because it can't be disguised. Images would be fine, just not clickable ones, but I don't think we have a standard that specifies that right now. Ads are fine, trackers are not.

Edit: HTML/JS/CSS et al. can keep existing and be used where it's actually needed, I'd just like my client to default to telling me I'm about to venture into that hellish landscape first and I'd like a more secure by default standard that doesn't let this stuff get so far out of hand.

You might be surprised at the scale of it. Tens of millions of Americans are going to get an immense wealth transfer in the coming decades.

There are currently around 11 to 13 million millionaire households (excluding primary residence value) in the US.

Credit Suisse claimed in 2015 that there were 15.7 million individual millionaires in the US, so perhaps that figure is approaching 18 to 20 million today. Per that report, the US had about ~47% of all the world's millionaires (since that was 2015, China has no doubt climbed further). In that report, they listed that nearly half of all people on earth worth more than $50m were in the US (around ~60,000 in the US, plausibly quite higher now).

There are 1.35 million households worth between $5m and $25m. And 172,000 households worth over $25m.

The stock market move in 2017 alone added 700,000 new millionaires for example.

The US has about five to six million high net worth individuals, that control at least $20 trillion in wealth.

I think you are describing the exact concept creep I was railing against.

True ABM is platform and ad tech neutral, its almost entirely strategy and deep work in winning over every stakeholder at play with a completely customized content, advertising, and outreach experience.
Unfortunately, many scam artists and platform developers or just uninformed marketers hijacked the term and created impressions on the strategy like the one you have and mention above...
In the same vein it would be interesting to explore mechanisms of automatic discovery - e.g. proposing tabs that have close horizontal proximity in other people's collections. Sure, it opens up the questions of privacy and data collection, but it could provide a much needed alternative to using search engines for discovery.

I highly recommend Joe/Mark at quietlightbrokerage.com.

quietlightbrokerage/FEinternational.com/empireflippers.com all share the same buyer list FYI

I would suggest reaching out to each and finding out who you are comfortable with.

I would also suggest taking a look at:

This will give you a sense of the multiple on SDE you are likely to get. Lots of credit available to buyers right now so its a great time to sell, specifically saas.

Good luck
"Ant says it wants to be known not as a financial conglomerate but as a technology provider or “lifestyle platform,” with future profits coming mainly from fees from institutions using its technology."

As fintech companies get larger in China, interesting to see how marketing shifts as being less a disruptor of banks to being a partner, in order to avoid regulatory attention.

Starting to see that in the US too, as more consumer fintech apps are also beginning to converge with each other in regards to product offerings...

Maybe run searches for announcements, webinars, talks, howto's about the related products, where you can see employee names. Ideally Product Manager or Product Director titles; but folks in marketing or evangelism who know the product area will know who those people are. Then reach out - LinkedIn is an option.

The product owners in the most related area would be in a position to consider your idea and advocate in the best way internally if it makes sense. If you have a call or meeting, prepare yourself about what things you might like to keep confidential until things progress a bit, in case they do not.
from time to time I wonder about the cost benefit of using an eGPU vs just sshfs+EC2's G2xLarge and I don't think there's ever been a time in the past year where it was more worth it to have an eGPU to do ML dev work.
I didn’t say that all the problems have been figured out, but I feel like you are being a little close minded with regards to the idea. Maybe properties would use some form of multi signature transactions so a single person hacking it would not be able to take over ownership. Perhaps there would still be some sort of intermediary.

I am not saying just add a blockchain on top of the existing infrastructure. That does not make much sense. I’m saying replace the existing infrastructure completely.

> The colorful court case, held in Jacksonville, Florida, started September 10, 2001, the day before terrorists crashed planes into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and a field in Pennsylvania. The stunned news media quickly forgot about the McDonald’s trial, which explains why so few Americans remember the scandal, or how it ended.

In the months/years after 9/11 I remember that a recurring theme in longform stories was that their events took place shortly before or after 9/11 and had collectively been forgotten. One that I still remember is a Sports Illustrated feature about 8 Wyoming college cross-country runners who died in the worst vehicle crash in Wyoming history [0]. Though maybe in today's 24/7+ media cycle and attention deficits, plenty of interesting stories slip through the cracks on a more regular basis.

Someone summarized the dynamic well with the idea that "companies are bought, not sold".

The best sellers of startups are actually investors themselves. Some of them are very good at selling portfolio companies into bigger organizations. They have the contacts, relationships, and favored position as semi-third party negotiators. They've often worked at these companies themselves and know how to get them feeling the FOMO.

You might want to find some investors that have recently sold companies to your target companies and see if they want to invest in yours. Many investors say they don't like "flipping" companies but the reality is that some of them very clearly do.
Yep that's the one.
Yes, but the bulk of bandwidth should be eaten up by intermediate results rather than the input data e.g., for imagenet, 224x224x3 tensors are tiny compared to the intermediate activations that have to be moved around (and saved during training).

Hopefully you would also only copy your model over once.
When you have precision weapons, you have options.

But options might not be a good thing (overall) if it means more violence.

Less precise weapons mean more decision friction before a "shot is fired", and that friction before firing a shot might be a net positive overall.
