If we compare hash content with http urls, urls are easy to remember, while hash are hard to remember?

It feels like the dark ages before altavista, and you had to know the url. Still, a url was more memorable to pass friends by email, than a hash.

Will there be ipfs search engines and wouldn't that just be bittorrent?

Also browsers remember urls... If everything goes through your local gateway, it's all just /hash, hard to remember / re-discover? Or is the plan also to move away from browsers?
People, I meant People.

But it’s such a broken sentence I’m leaving it for the ages :)

In my experience, bonuses are also very discretionary and completely opaque. I've seen countless offers touting a sizeable bonus at the entire discretion of the company with no way to know what are the criteria for award. And what do you know, nobody ever got these phantom bonuses because reasons. But it was included in offer letters and used to lower the negotiated salary as of it was a sure thing, and not everyone was savvy enough to push back.

It isn't really fair to compare this to that. One is a clear case of one's freedom interfering on the freedom or safety of another.

I don't think this situation is nearly that black and white.
The ban on the export of cryptography strikes me as a great example of the US Government misunderstanding technology - I don't see how it's remotely possible for a ban on exporting ideas to affect bad actors in any way.
If you had near continuous location information for a license plate it would be relatively simple to use it to narrow it down to a small group of people.

I’d imagine it would be relatively easy to figure out where someone works and/or lives and just go find them.

Correlating across multiple public databases might make things even easier.

But I don’t think this is the point of the argument. The point is that those in power can gain more benefit from the information than the general population.

Let’s say all votes in elections become public. That information is more useful to a powerful political party than to the public at large, or a small unfunded group. If you don’t want that information abused, the argument goes, you should make sure it’s kept private.
There are legal arguments that become valid at those amounts.

There is a difference between:

Ouch, that stung! Must do better.

That amount kills the business!

This is a sting. Quality control tax.

They should pay up, suck it up, maximize good will, and prevent it from happening again.

Given this gaffe, it is even odds they have pocketed more than this amount from errors going the other way.
Sure, rent is more expensive and income inequality is worse...

But I certainly wouldn't trade my life currently for the 1960's in a second -- going tremendously backwards with civil rights and LGBTQ attitudes, the Vietnam War debacle, no internet, missing out on five decades of health care advances and new treatments, vastly safer cars, I could go on and on and on...

Really not sure what trend you're talking about. If you say the "trend" has been negative since the 1960's, you're saying things are worse today than the 1960's... and I just fail to see how that's true except in very specific areas like student debt or healthcare spending, but certainly not overall.
A very cromulent explaination. Thank you.
I appreciate your comment and its perspective.

I spend a lot of my time optimizing code switching between,01 and 03.

I am genuinely very worried about the trade-off between optimization and pragmatism.

At the same time, I am limited. This very useful analysis would help me a lot if it providied an executive summary.

Non-linear debug builds are obviously harmful.

> the Everett interpretation does have one issue: it's not clear why probabilities should work the way they do.

This is referencing the nature of the measure and the difficulty of deriving the Born rule. Why should the outcome of measurements be proportional to the square of the wave function? That's indeed a problem in MW.

But even if that's solved in some way, there's an even more foundational issue of how non-determinism can arise at all in a deterministic theory. The MW reply is that there is no non-determinism, but then has trouble explaining observed reality - which is not a good position for a theory to be in.
That’s not what he said at all.
This was a sticking spot to a recent negotiation I had. I fought for higher salary, but they added it into bonus.
"Similarly I suspect people take a bonus of X amount more happily than a raise that would work out to the same amount ”

I think most people know that a bonus is a much worse deal for most people who aren't VP and above level. A salary increase locks you in for the next year but the bonus can be taken away.
Oh, I watch soccer, though less now since I did the above self assessment and decided the hours I spending watching it were probably not really making me happier. And I can admire Robben cutting in diagonally from the wings on his weak foot to create an opening or even Suarez's almost instinctive genius. But firstly, I will never be Robben. Secondly, the level I play at has limited tactical sophistication (the traditional 4-4-2 formation has given way to more of a 0-5-5 or 5-5-0 depending on where the ball is). Thirdly, I'm "good enough" for my level.

Off topic, but if you're interested in sports theory and writing, Suarez always makes me think of John McPhee's "A Sense of Where You Are", a profile of Bill Bradley when he was at Princeton. Probably one of my top 5 favorite sports books or articles.
> There are a lot of very sad comments in this thread about optimising life and being productive and efficient. Don't have kids. Don't cook. Don't watch television or play video games, or at least save them until everything else is done. Buy other people's labour to free up more time for working to pay them.

Maybe you're over aggregating? :)

I don't want to have kids in part because I like my video games and they and other activities I enjoy will have to go poof due to kids^t. Basically, you can only pick a few things before your time runs out.

I think you're vying for a time where people wouldn't feel so short of time, but I don't think it's bad, in the moment, if people do successfully optimize their time for their situation, and I don't care if it makes some idealizer of the human condition unhappy.

I do not owe it to anyone to fit some mold of the perfect human being who finds all the time to exercise, eat healthy, socialize, cook, AND have kids. It's all draining enough for me as it is.

^t there are other much more advanced and depressing reasons why I actually don't want to have kids, though
If it's not off topic, what's your take, as a professional, on the value of a single chip with the ability to record/playback several hundred channels? Are these a readily available piece of kit, or are they not worth having?

I ask because as part of a student project we've demonstrated a delta-sigma DAC on an FPGA with very good dynamic range. We should be able to put a lot of these onto the one FPGA. It might also be extended to an ADC.
Perhaps someone could do a mashup with builtwith.com and stackshare.io.
More times than I'd like, I've encountered GDB refusing to show the value of a variable, claiming it's "optimized away".

No, it's sitting right there in a register, and I know that because I just stepped through, instruction-by-instruction, the code that computed its value. Fortunately it does not claim the register has been "optimized away" too, but the experience of debugging optimised code could definitely use a lot of improvement.

(This isn't exclusive to GCC/GDB either --- I've seen the same with MSVC and Visual Studio, but in my experience the latter tends to be somewhat better.)
It's not just the labels.

Most of the value in the music industry has gone to Apple and Spotify shareholders the last 20 years, not labels. There is at least $100-$150 billion in cumulative shareholder value sitting there from just that. Spotify is worth more than all the major labels combined.

The iPod doesn't exist without the music from the artists. Apple didn't share their hardware profits with artists, and they're not sharing any follow on value from the iPhone either (which was entirely made possible by the iPod).

People hate labels, they mostly love Apple and Spotify, so they largely get a pass on this. The real money in the music industry during the iPod era, was in the hardware.
Presumably you're speaking cynically about how copyright is treated. For the official, stated reason:

Don't excuse people that are bad at their jobs. Poison is meant to kill people, which proves to be more difficult than it sounds. If you don't believe me, read up on capital punishment in the US and how often it fails.
No, you shouldn't be as long as this isn't going to help me regain what I've lost and I don't want the government to spend my tax money on maintaining the jail to keep you in where you are going to be useless and miserable.

Perhaps there are people who can be satisfied by the fact the person who has made them struggle is put in struggle but I certainly am not of this kind of irrational, your struggle isn't something I can eat or live in.

I would prefer to force you to return what I have lost + some extra and would even love to help you to find as a well-paid job as you can manage with if you don't have the money so you can earn it and pay me.
I think we just have to cut corners and not take recommendations too seriously.

The easiest way to get more time is just to work for a large company that provides meals and doesn't make you clock-in and be hyper-efficient with your work so you can slide out after six hour days, but that's easier said than done.

Realize that people who are really physically fit treat it like a hobby, so if you think something is more worth it (writing, guitar, binge drinking with your friends), then don't stress about not accomplishing everything-- it was an intentional trade-off.

And the not really solution-solution is to have enough serotonin so that you're perfectly happy doing things like cooking, running errands, and working out-- which is a big goal of mine.
I'd argue some people are hypercritical and instigate conflict by gratuitous insult.
These factors are often controlled for (or attempted) in these sorts of studies.
I agree, but my point is that when this setting is already keylogging you and sending your data to the cloud by default, the fact that it's also stored on your PC is hardly increasing your risk much.
So you're not running a function when I write "f`some ${foo} lols`" ? What's f then ? This is HN and I'm a self taught noob, so probabilistically I'm wrong and you're right. But I'm having such a hard time believing it.

To me, it's still running the sequence of instructions defined by f in both cases. Just that the arguments passed to f are different whether it's called with parenthesis or not. And as far as I understand, that's the feature that comes with string literals. But you're still calling f, and f is still a function. It's defined as a function and executed as a function.

"If there is an expression preceding the template literal (tag here), this is called a "tagged template". In that case, the tag expression (usually a function) gets called with the processed template literal, which you can then manipulate before outputting." - [1]

Now when i open my console (FF) and I type:

a = 12
a`hello`

I get "TypeError: a is not a function". But if I do

b = () => "yo"
b`hello`

I get, as expected, "yo" and no TypeError.

Furthermore, I didn't know this feature, the article called it "functions without using parenthesis" so i called it like that.

N.B. I'd like to know what the interpreter / JIT is doing now ;p

Steve Pinker comes to mind.
"They" is a commonly accepted gender-neutral pronoun these days; I use it all the time without thinking - probably the parent did as well.
Raises also compound if you get a raise year after year. A bonus probably won't increase each year.
The problem is that music has no inherent scarcity or exclusivity. Because there's no natural limit to the supply of copies, the marginal cost goes to zero.

To create a viable market, the entire rest of the country/world has to agree to inconvenience itself, simulating a scarcity by saying 'you're the only one who can legally make copies.'

So it's more a matter of hassling everyone else for the benefit of a relatively small group of creators. This is something that can be seen as a value-maximization problem.

How much extra music do we, as a society, get to enjoy by adding another N years to copyright? And what does that cost us in enforcement, licensing, and reduced ability to respin old work?
I think you both have valid points. Russia is not always a good global citizen. It’s had a history of ignoring protocol if it got in their way. They have had cheerleaders when they were Soviet, they have a few chearleaders now (ME, for example).

But we, in the West, and countries aligned with the West, fail to understand their motives. Like China, they have internal motives that while they look like they are strategizing against the West in particular, at times it’s just due to internal issues.

Russia didn’t anex Crimea to poke the West. They took it because not having it exposed them militarily (as well as domestically made them looked weak).

For all his faults, Kissinger understands those things better than most public figures in their public speaking (are willing to admit, at least).
You could, but no one ever seems to do a good job of it.
Importing OLM to Mac mail
Importing OLM to Mac mail was a task of a headache for me. Though both the mail clients are well supported on same Mac platform, the applications deny supporting the file format of the other.
I had to look out for the best migration tool in the business. I tried a couple of tools, and none of them was satisfactory enough. The first was too slow to describe; the other was too tricky to work with.
Zeroed down to OLM converter Pro by Gladwev and it was the right charmer. It converted the mails to the correct mail folder hierarchy. Th contacts were saved too. Speed and accuracy never seemed like being compromised on the way. A must recommend.

This is why I grew up with zero respect for copyrights. I simply ignore them without consequence. Send me a dcma notification, it goes in the garbage. I dont care, copyrights have become so insane it's easier to just disregard them.
> It doesn't always seem to kill the victim and makes it easy to identify the perps as state actors.

As others have said, identifying a state actor is a feature, not a bug. However, what others have neglected to point out, is that it's unreliable - and that is a feature, too. We can't easily identify the state actor. Polonium-210 pointed at Russia obviously, but Russia has also utilized dioxides (vs. Shchekochikhin), and opioids (fentanyl) (to wipe out the hostage-takers in the Dubrovka theater).

The result is that Russia sends a message: we will reach out and kill our critics and defectors.

Bullets don't have the same effect: a critic dies in his sleep. Was it a drop of fentanyl? Maybe. Maybe. The absence or presence of poison will be speculated on; the absence or presence of bullets is clear-cut.

Through the use of poisons which vary in their ability to point the finger at Russia, any death of a critic that could plausibly be linked to a poisoning now raises the specter of Russian intervention. The result is that their psychological warfare is extended far beyond their actual reach.

The KGB/FSB has always had a very significant attention to psych-ops. Their actions should not be interpreted strictly at face value.
The US version of it is a Hellfire missile from a drone remote-controlled from 2 continents away.

Way more lethal, way more collateral, quite obvious to identify as the act of a state actor, still common practice barely anybody takes issue with.
Ambition (YC W14) Is Hiring a Product Designer
This point about Theresa May doesn't make sense. She's the Prime Minister of the UK. She has access to intelligence before it goes on the public record (and to intelligence that never goes on the public record). And whatever the timeline, we now know definitely that the Russian government was behind the poisoning, so she wasn't wrong.
Yea that's the problem. Let's say the smart contract accidentally burns the money instead of paying it out due to a bug in the contract code. No recourse.

First of all, the whole thing is hyperbole. Linus doesn't actually believe people should kill themselves over holding that particular opinion, which no actual person holds anyway.

Secondly, you added that "you have no right to exist" part yourself. It comes from your imagination, not Linus Torvalds.

Lastly, it wasn't a technical discussion. It wasn't on a mailing list. It was a random personal Google Plus post where Linus vented about some annoyance he faced using an actual Linux distribution (OpenSUSE). Obviously he's not in a position of "ultimate power" because he can't force the OpenSUSE guys to change that annoying behavior for him.
But they only target terrorists.
in tech, if there are successful pushes for women in the companies, then the success would be seen more recently, in which case they would have less equity than existing holders which would contain less women.

this also doesn't account for how the candidates negotiate their salaries to begin with, HIRED has this data in their diversity report.

similarly, further funding rounds would dilute people even more

which takes me to some worthwhile further investigation of the female founders roles, aside from how things may be negotiated there may be a factor of needing additional funding rounds given challenges of being taken seriously? I would need to know how many separate events of dilution took place by the time of this analysis

thoughts?
Actually parents of children who have moved out would have been a great save, but I also thought it was hilariously dumb so left it there

I hope that the globe is capable of separating the Russian people, 99.99% of whom are not calling the shots as far as geopolitics go, from the country's plutocrats, who do call them.
People, please stop downvoting this reasonable question
This seems like it could fit well with TimescaleDB but obviously would take testing. My only concern would be with Full-text search on JSON which I think is possible but I have never done. I would start with a timescaleDB hypertable on the Even table (time TimestampTz, object JSONB) with the following indexes (or some of them depending on testing):

- BTREE(time DESC)

- BTREE(time DESC, object)

- GIN(object)

- some kind of full text index

I don't know why the slow counting problem would be a problem with WHERE clauses since indexes are highly optimized to work with MVCC (e.g. hint bits etc). The wiki article itself says this isn't much of a problem when using indexes. But maybe you can elaborate?
Likewise if the process of distribution was automated there would be people complaining about opt-in being a waste of their own resources for content they don't care about, or something.
If you want a better home than other people, take a job and buy a better one. If you want better food, take a job and buy better food. If your employer at that job pressures you to do something that makes you uncomfortable or is immoral, you then don't need to do the calculus of "Do I compromise my morals, or get kicked out on the street with no health insurance?" because, as a floor, you have the community-provided essentials to tie you over while you find a morally acceptable job that will allow you to continue living in a big house and eating organic lobster.
Why is it being removed?
That’s not how the system works, only what the western propaganda wants people to believe. I’m sure I won’t be punished because of saying i oppose that. It's only possible that I get some kind of punishment if I'm influential enough and engage in activities that deemed to be a threat to the government.
>>a move that gives them more flexibility to dial back that compensation if the economy turns sour.

That’s the only thing that makes sense. Asian economies learned this a while ago —but it leads to seasonal departures (after bonus distribution).

But yeah much easier to say bonuses will be reduced than to say salaries will get cut during lean times.
What in particular? His Whig history of the world?
As the article notes, hard evidence is unlikely to turn up. The Portuguese would have kept any such discovery secret as a matter of policy and the Great Lisbon Earthquake would have destroyed any maps that had been developed.
