>And why would they?

Because they're reading the blog, and are interested in the content - i.e. because next generation IPFS-friendly browsers participate in the pinning, as they should.

I mean, think about it: there is already a copy of this web page out there, multiply redundant, in the form of our browser cache. All it really needs for IPFS to be viable is for the browser vendors to give the user the means to make those cached files part of their contribution to the Internet...

some of the richest, most powerful and brightest people are actively trying to sweep people away for money.

This is a big part of the problem IMO. General loss of moral values. I'm not religious at all, and criticize religions all the time, but one has to admit that when Christianity was the driving force in the western world, there were at least some values that were kind of universally accepted. Yes, there was lots of hypocrisy, and people acted against said values routinely, but at the very least most would feel bad about it or fear for their public image, and try to not be needlessly extreme at breaking them.

Now, Christianity has been replaced by ruthless capitalism, and people don't even have to pretend that they care about anything else than making piles of money. And if a company is criticized for using manipulative or exploitative techniques to make more money, regular people will even jump to defend it. I see it everyday on the Internet (e.g. forums for free games with monetizing techniques that border on inducing gambling addiction). They have accepted making money as the supreme value.

These capitalist morals that place money in the center of everything must die and be replaced by something else, or we are headed for dystopia.
What is also amazing about this is that it made me hesitate strongly about legalization of all drugs. Big ass companies selling drugs almost immediately as the market opens up is not how I pictured "decriminalization". Should coca-cola just sell straight up heroin? Should one of these companies produce internal documentation about the damages of marihuana and hide it, just like tobacco did?

I guess getting older gets you more conservative..

I think that the ultimate legitimacy could stem from the reticence of authors to comment on things that they don't know anything about.

Mother said "if you can't say something nice don't say anything" maybe we need to move to "if you can't say things that are novel and well found then leave it be"?
I've been a Git user since 2007, but I disagree that we need only one VCS. Like another poster I've been through many variants over the years, from no VCS to using two copies (devel and stable) to SCCS to CVS and so on. CVS was fantastic compared to SCCS (because we had more than one developer, and we were already separately located), likewise Git is heaven compared to CVS.

But even though I'm using Git for everything, we need Mercurial. And any future new VCS system with new ideas. Otherwise we won't know what's possible, where leaps can be achieved. Git didn't come out of nowhere, Linus put together the first version in just a week - he put down the fundament, the basic ideas that Git is built on. The reason he could do that was because he had used Bitkeeper previously (before Bitkeeper he refused to use any VCS at all), and his experience with Bitkeeper enabled Linus to come up with the Git fundamental principles (note that Git is different from Bitkeeper in important ways - particularly the core, where Bitkeeper built on (basically) SCCS and Git has a totally different way of tracking changes).

Git (and Mercurial etc) are what they are precisly because there have been other version control systems before them.

Video resume is ok and has only potential on entertainment fields like hollywood or modeling, glamour job sector.

It's not great idea on other field especially on initial scrutiny.

With text resume,

1). HR first looks format and how presentable text resume is on paper.

2). Then they search/look for key points.

3). Later, they either reject it or keep it for next round.

All above 3 steps can take 10 second to 1 or 2 minute to quickly evaluate candidate for next round.

You can not express yourself in 10 second or 1 minute completely as you can do on text.

Reading is faster than listening or watching.

- Face is not resume on all sectors.

A link pointing to the data is fairly useless if nobody is seeding it.

I have torrent files that point to the correct data but it's impossible to obtain because the data they point to isn't being seeded. But just like in IPFS, if I have the correct file I can seed it again simply by adding it to my torrent client into the torrent job.

> It wasn't that he was particularly dangerous because of his political stance but because he started to dig into other journalists' suspicious deaths. So he might have been a no-name but got close enough to uncover things.

This is exactly what's confusing about these actions. What I'm trying to say is that Americans still don't understand is how little that kind of news would matter if it broke in Russia.

The polls are not rigged, and people are not afraid to speak freely: Russians love Putin. They do not love him for his human rights record, for his stance on democracy, for his actions against corruption. None of that matters. They love him because he dramatically transformed the economic and physical security of almost everyone in the country. He could proudly claim responsibility for these deaths and it wouldn't change anyone's mind.

> A message to the West perhaps?

What is the message, and why send it this way? If they care about western opinion, as you suggest, then poison does not seem like the best strategy. The poison is the only reason anyone in the west knows who Pyotr is.
For a long time now windows update has automatically installed the drivers for me and is what I typically recommend to everyone. Searching the web for drivers and downloading them manually will usually end in (even tech savvy) people installing crap-ware at best and malware at worse along side them. Configuring Linux is not a problem too as long as you pick the right hardware (which is usually just staying away from Qualcomm and Realtek NICs in my experience) and distro. The real time sink on linux is customizing it to the point where I am comfortable using it.
This is useful. Up to now I'd seen the spreadsheet being collated on /r/linux_gaming but even at a few days old that was starting to get to be a sprawling mess. This site has a winehq style medal system and captures drivers etc for each report which makes it much easier to peruse and digest.

It's also encouraging just how many games are gold and platinum.

While I don't consider myself a wiz, I'm fairly proficient at both (was responsible for stuff like lfs and submodule reorganization on git in my previous job). I'm honestly surprised that someone adept at one would struggle with the other: you basically just need to understand the semantical differences in branching. On windows, hg plays much nicer with powershell (ok, so clean is an extension, otoh hg -nu | rm).
This is visible in the very last scene where it automatically tilts its blades to counteract the rotation induced by the accelerating propeller.

I'm a big fan of Processwire (open source), and I also love that you need to define fields explicitly. Doesn't turn into a circus of what's defined where, when it gets a little bit complicated? I never tried this model so I'm really asking.
Ask HN: Any good Lisp-lile language that compiles to both JS and Python?
What would be the best recommendations for a Lisp-family language (with macros + friendly to functiona-programming idioms + good suport for repl driven development) that:

1. transpiles to both Javascript and Python,

2. produces readable code in target language, so it can be "ejected out of the project" after the prototype stage, so the final version delivered to client would not contain too "exotic" technologies in it (shipping readable and documented source code is a requirement)?
It is; the defense is called "advice of counsel".
There's got to be some boundary, though. The guy streams every single day. Doesn't even take one weekday off. That's not healthy.

You may be correct. But you're asking me to make an assumption based on data I don't have rather than the one made on the data I do have.
not really. Neurons fire in the absense of any stimulus at some base noise floor rate, so there’s always a little bit of uncertainty. They don’t really act like logic units, close up.

True-ish in the small parts of the markets that are extremely liquid (top 500 global stocks, us treasury bond futures).

Very untrue for the vast amounts that aren't -- ten thousands of different corporate and government bonds, thousands of leveraged loans, more fancy securities like convertible bonds, credit default swaps or contingent-convertible bank bonds get traded over Bloomberg chatrooms (think Whatsapp groups with lots of additional features but lots of regulatory red tape).

In these markets passive funds underperform active funds by vastly more than the fee differential - and that is not coincidental.

Some blue collar jobs that will be created include: maintaining the factory robots, producing the robots that run the factory, installing the robots that run the factory, and retrofitting old factories to work with new automated systems, lubing up the factory robots and replacing their oil and filters. Not to mention entire industries which will crop up - millions of specialized engineers, automated factory focused marketing firms, new government sectors for people to write regulation for automated robots, etc.

The world changes, but we never run out of stuff to do.
Very valid point. I didn't think to use several google accounts. That might have solved my problem... Of course now I'm very diligently backing up everything anyway

> Those exact same dynamics

My fear is all the leaders of the US and Europe who remember the horrors of the first half of the twentieth century are dead. And the power of divisive tribal politics is too tempting to the new generation.
You're absolutely right, but what you're saying suggests an even more limited ability of congress. The whole point of the United State's political design was to strictly limit the ability of congress except to what was allowed. For instance the right to free speech does not grant citizens the right to free speech -- that is already inherent. It prohibits the government from being able to take that inherent right away.

The constitution is not a guideline to unlimited powers, but constraints to limited powers. If congress is passing various copyright laws for reasons other than to "promote the progress of science and useful arts" then it would be unconstitutional. In other words passing laws to enhance profits rather than to ensure creator motivation would be unconstitutional, yet that's unambiguously the motivation for nearly all modern copyright law. Nobody is deterred from creating a work because they would only own the rights to it for e.g. 30 years, let alone 110 years.

I think dat:// is a much more promising protocol over IPFS. The developers don't seem to delude themselves as much to the capabilities of the archive and there is no ICO. They advertise it as it is; Torrents with updates via public keys.

ipfs:// on the other hand I hear most frequently handwaving away the problems like "who will pin unpopular content" or "how far does it scale" or "who will pay for gateway bandwidth once it gets big" or even "how to make content easily update" (I don't consider IPNS a good solution to that question)
What I tried to say was, if you have an employee who yields you half a million each month, you're probably not gonna fire him if he says "hey im gonna take off tomorrow".

But yes, they obviously can just not stream for a single day, but it costs him. According to the article, not streaming a day looses him 15,000 subs (assuming the default cut of 50% of 5$) thats 37k lost, per day, and it adds up.

Ninja seems to be aware that his stream wont live forever, that his fame is on a timer, like anyone on the internet. So he's trying to save up as much money as he can, to support his family after his fame dies down.

Lets be generous and assume $200k spent per year for rent/mortage, food and all that fun stuff. A day streaming means he has 2 months less buffer, before his money would run out. 4 Months, if you're spending 100k a year.

Choosing between 1 day of work, and 4 months of work, seems pretty easy to me, even if that single day sucks.

That’s not my experience as a helicopter pilot.

I think this is already happening in games. With ray tracing the reflections are calculated from the player's view point. The audio processor then uses this information and outputs 3D sound.

Whoa whoa whoa, just because both systems have problems and have some similarities doesn't mean no one can complain. I'm not gonna defend the US's problems because it doesn't matter! It's easy to see the Chinese system as morally bad. Why? Because free speech and dissent are the mechanisms by which we improve our ideas and systems. This social credit system backed by the already authoritarian government will further cement the will of the party powers over the will of the people. And everyone should care about a billion people.
To my knowledge, UEFI does sorta do hypervisor-y things when running a 16bit bootloader since the GPU needs to be operated from 64bit ( via it's UEFI driver) and keyboard and mouse need to be emulated via UEFI drivers, which are also 64bit. That is unless the device has a CSM module and can run natively 16bit code during CSM boot, which not all devices can do.
"...Like Lanier’s book, though in a very different register, it risks presenting the Internet as both the manifestation and cause of all of our deepest problems..."

A friend of mine sent me a link recently with some stuff that Taleb's currently working on.

The internet, the collection of data storage and transmission instantaneously anywhere on the planet, is not a problem. The problem is that humans are hard-wired for small social groups, not mobs. What we need is some new sense of morality and common wisdom around what's an appropriate piece of technology to make and use and what isn't.

It's very, very reminiscent of how hard drugs was first introduced to transport and commercialization. At first it was open season, with lots of pain and loss of life as a result. Then there was a ton of over-reaction. Hopefully the pendulum is swinging back the other way, towards liberalization and education.

As a libertarian, it's tempting to rant at government for making so many drugs criminal 100-120 years ago, but it might have been the best of a bunch of bad choices at the time. Likewise, busting up Big Tech could end up being a bad idea in the long-term and the best thing we can do right now to return some sanity to public discourse. I'll leave that to others to decide. But something needs to be done. Something drastic, I'm afraid.

This is great. I've been wanting something like this for a while now.

I really like the website too. Minus the small bugs people have already mentioned, the actual design and information on the front page is perfect. A lot of projects shared on HN could learn from this page, tbh (I mean that in an encouraging way, not an attack, but so many project homepages don't explain the project very well).

DREADFUL PHARMACEUTICAL CORRUPTION IN THE NETHERLANDS STYLE
This is not GDPR friendly.

Executing third party JS on your website is an access to the page content, so unless the customer never had any user data or sensitive data on the page, they'll have to categorise simpleanalytics as a data processor.

Referers are often on their own private data, for example https://www.linkedin.com/in/markalanrichards/edit identifies not just you looked at this user, but that you are this user as it is the profile editing page, unique to this account.

The difference between whether simpleanalytics get or store data might remove a GDPR issue for them, but it certainly is for customers. Having access to the IP addresses is sufficient for privacy to be invaded at any point or by accident (wrong logging parameter added by the next new dev), malice (how can we illegally use this and lie to customers) or compromise (hackers take control of the analytics system) and therefore puts users at risk of full tracking at any point. As mentioned earlier GDPR is also about access, it is definitely about storage but the part in between of being given data (not just access to take it and not putting it on disk) is definitely included too.

In summary, simpleanalytics need to stop lying and redo their privacy impact assessments. Meanwhile don't use third party analytics (I have no idea how you maintain security control on third party JS) and if you're silly enough to, then it definitely is a GDPR consideration that needs to be assessed, added to audit, added to privacy policies, etc.
Haha, I was actually wondering if someone would ask that. I don't know; it gets really complicated and philosophical really quickly.
