The dollars are worth whatever the relative foreign policies set. If China has a policy to depreciate against the dollar, by printing Yuan and buying dollars with them (what happens now) then the dollars end up being "worth" more, but the underlying capacity to produce of the U.S. hasn't increased, indeed it starts to decrease as people start to buy cheaper foreign output.

So it's a bit disingenuous to say "well, people like these cheap goods" -- I mean, of course they do, but the story here is the foreign capital inflows which create an excessively expensive currency leading to a preference for certain types of goods. The whole ground is moving underneath you as a result of international policies and you don't see it, you just see people "choosing" to act.
I love small walkable shopping centers that are organically grown over decades that mix residential, commercial, and retail uses. I live in such an area and it is great, but, if society wants to find a way to move to a better human scale constructed landscapes, it might be a good idea to stop referring to people in cars as non-human inhabited objects and use a more human focus word like motorist. We use pedestrian for a person use their feet or a bicyclist or biker for someone using a bicycle.

Cars can be a great tool for humans to use and they are not yet running around without a human inside.
Starting off, this article is extremely biased. I have not seen such anti-male journalism in some time. She is trying to portray pretty much all ASMR creators as victims for making innocent content and that just isn't true. Sure there are a lot of legit ASMR creators whos content is non-sexual and relaxing. However, there are way more sexual and pseudo-sexual ASMR channels that she leads you to believe.

Paypal isn't a bank and should not be used as such. They can suspend/freeze/ban you for any reason under the sun. Paypal has long been known to screw people over. Contrary to the article trying to portray that woman and LGBT people are under some mystical male abuse campaign from PP and YT, men are just as well caught in the net of problems both platforms cast.

Now these legit channels being targeted by report/flag campaigns is bad. There really isn't much recourse on either platform. Once you're punished, you have to go to hell and back to get unpunished. She is right in saying that these platforms are not built to handle edge cases like targeted harassment. She seems to think that sexuality shouldn't be a punishable offense on these platforms, which I think most people would disagree with. While this focuses on this specific case, this points to a broader problem that these platforms in the entirety are subject to abuse from organized groups. Yes ASMR creators were targeted here, but an organized push against most any group on these platforms could result in false bans/suspensions. I don't think this article belongs on HN. From a different source that is more unbiased yes, but this article is absurdly written.
When I bought, I noticed that every 10mins closer (rush hour driving) to Google was worth US$100k, and every point on the school rating was worth another US$100k. This led to an interesting gradient between downtown San Jose (bad schools) and Mountain View (good schools/close to Google).

The same thing applied to Cupertino/Apple, with Willow Glen having better schools but a longer commute.

We drew a circle on the map showing the longest distance I was willing to commute (on a bike), and bought on the circle.
I've commuting year round for close to two decades, you don't need a fancy bike. You don't need fancy tires. For 90% of my winter commuting I'm on wet or dry pavement, in the coldest major city in North America. Four years ago the city began promoting winter commuting, along with a commitment to keep the bike paths clear, and the number of winter bicycle commuters has doubled annually. Enough of them are overweight middle aged ladies, the last type of person you'd suspect to be a hardcore winter commuter, but that's because it isn't actually hardcore. The barriers are psychological, there's a very easy learning curve to overcome, and it comes quite naturally if you just maintain a cycling through the fall. It's also a cure for seasonal affective disorder/cabin fever.

I ride a fixed gear In winter, with the same tires I use in summer. A lot of people are on mountain bikes. Some people are on fatbikes, but that's overkill for basic commuting.
I wager dollars to donuts that those "3rd party iPhone repair shops" are not authorized by Apple

Announcing Linkerd 2.0
My BS detector started going off as I was reading the linked article. Talking about the body "[sensing] itself internally and local[izing] its actions" providing "the basis for a material sense of self-existence" isn't even pseudo-scientific.

It's an interesting idea but I'm concerned that this is an art project looking for a scientific explanation.
Just a heads up, their planned free version limits you to 500 items per month: https://monolist.co/pricing

I absolutely despise this kind of 'free' offering since it's more of a demo than an actual offer. Split it by user count, split it by features but the whole purpose of this thing is rendered moot by that limit.
When they're giving contributor statistics are they talking about commits? Looking at the commit log and contributors list on github, the vast majority of the code appears to be written by google. It looks like they're counting a user with a single commit equal alongside google developers who work on the code base every other day.
To be hypocritical is to be human: if the EU can make life miserable for some American based businesses Trump style I won't lose sleep over it.
The underlying crypto is fine (provided you don’t pick the weak algorithms) and use it correctly.

What makes it ‘obsolete’ is that it lets you do bad things, like encryption without signing, messages can be partially encrypted/signed, etc. There are too many settings/options that amount to “change this to reduce security for no other benefit”.

The current ideal is software that is only capable of being secure no matter how you use it.
Future Politics: Living Together in a World Transformed by Tech
There are some that visit HN that are highly paid and often of a different class in society. There's a remarkable lack of sympathy displayed by some small subset of HN readers towards those less fortunate. At least in American society, classism is a huge issue and prevents a lot of good being done in the world.

almost but not quite.

> there is zero legitimate reason that an employer should have any say whatsoever on what someone does after that employer stops paying them.

Agreed.

However, non-competes make prefect sense when a company is bought/sold. If I own a Marketing firm, and sell it to you, it would be perfectly reasonable, as part of that sale, for you to require me to sign a non-compete. Otherwise I could rent an office across town, call up all my old customers (the ones you just payed a lot of money to get) and convince them to switch to my new company and leave you high and dry.
Notarizing documents sounds like it could actually benefit from blockchain technology.

Have a set of Established Authorities who can grant notary status. They give notary status to people according to their own set of requirements.

The notaries can then add a record on the block chain saying roughly "I do notarization act X on document Y" (It'll be the equivalent of what they enter in their log books today and there will be some corresponding stamp that they'll stamp the physical document with, like they do today). They could now even notarize digital documents by including a hash of the digitized document in their record.

Finally, the agency receiving the notarized document (digital or electronic) can easily go onto the blockchain and verify that the document was indeed notarized as claimed and that the notarization is not a forgery.

Each agency that receives the notarized document could have their own subset of Established Authorities who's notaries they will accept. This means anyone could become an Established Authority, but individual agencies like the US Federal Government could publicly say "hey, our Authority Id is 'USRoxs'" but it'll be up to the receiving agencies like England's government to decide "We trust the system the US uses to validate it's notiaries, so we'll add 'USRoxs' to our list of accepted Established Authorities (along with 'TheEnglish' of course)"
Also, soybeans are a fungible commodity. As China buys up non-American soybeans, American exports will (with effort) be redirected to the customers who were originally planning to buy non-American soybeans that the China bought. The tariffs will be more of a hiccup for American farmers.

On the other hand, most of China's exports aren't fungible commodities, so it will have more difficulty finding substitutes for the reduced demand caused by American tariffs.
You’ll always get a handful of downvotes here by mentioning anything positive about organized labor or use the U-word. It’s as reliable as the sun. Best not to sweat it.
You have some great feedback. Thanks for taking the time to be so thorough. I’m not the OP, but I still think your comments are valuable in general, not just this one case.
Micro.blog proves it's possible to provide a comparable experience--in some ways I prefer it, although that has much more to do with its aesthetics and nascent culture than any underlying technology. At any rate, if your blog is hosted on Mastodon itself, you don't even have to know it's a blog, per se--you can just use it exactly like Twitter.

The catch right now is that Micro.blog is a paid service. I don't see any reason why someone couldn't set up something very similar built on the same tech--other than, of course, the willingness to put in the time and money. :)
Depending on the depth; it's probably safer going off in the water. 5' of water is going to dampen most explosions better than a boat hull.

And if it's armed, as you indicate, it's an even worse idea to use magnets around it.
Yea, I agree.

AFAIK GDPR does explicitly legislate against all that - dialogues should be "opt-in" and should include a simple "no" option, and that sites shouldn't "ban" you for not clicking "yes".

But unless EU actually starts delivering some hefty fines, the law is just a dead tree.
Does this mean it was a mistake or just ahead of its time? I think software-managed memory tiers have been a dream for advanced architectures for a very long time. The problem, perhaps is assuming software-managed means programmer-managed.

In a single system there is precedent in virtual memory systems using software-managed page mappings rather than static page table data structures. In HPC there is of course the precedent of distributed parallel systems with message-passing rather than shared memory abstractions. And the separation of GPU memory from system memory is certainly common today. Similar things are happening in software-defined storage (i.e. RAM/SSD/disk/tape tiering).

Computation libraries and frameworks help straddle the gap between application programmer needs and current language/runtime/architecture semantics. I think one problem of current markets is that people tend to want to evaluate hardware independently of software, or in terms of yesterday's software.

There is also a strange history of wanting to discard the software/firmware offered by the hardware vendor (for being insecure/inept/whatever), but blindly accepting the complex hardware design that enables our naive/platform-independent software to run well. The whole Spectre debacle shows how that may have been wishful thinking that we can divorce the software and hardware designs...
If anything, the rants about this are getting better. That's probably a good sign. This rant is at least 10x better than mine from last year :) https://www.jasonhanley.com/blog/2017/08/when-did-software-g...

haha yeah you might be right. Startups typically put a huge strain on the founders and their families. I wouldn't advise anyone attempt a startup unless they are in good condition mentally, physically, and relationally.

In my case, I wouldn't have been able to quit my job and attempt this startup in the first place if it wasn't for my wife taking that hard job for a couple years - so I felt like it would have been a bad idea to respond to her good deed by taking advantage of her and burning her out so I could have my dream.
This is what separates Apple from their competitors - any other company would have just shoveled some crap out the door by now.
The micro.blog way of doing it is really confusing, if I post something on my blog it shows up in micro.blog and then people can comment there and it shows up on my blog (in theory, in practice it never did for me, I never got a webmention from there), but now I want to answer on one of those comments and I have no idea how. If I do it as a comment post on my blog it never reaches those people from micro.blog, so the only way to do it is to externalize commenting to micro.blog and thus not being able to own my own content anymore, which is what micro.blog was advertising for all the time. Same with "likes", etc.

A Review of the Lean Theorem Prover
If you're working for a competitor while working for them...they probably should fire you simply as a matter of operational security unless you're doing the type of work where you wouldn't have any exposure to trade secrets.
Noncompetes need to die in a fire. They are defacto parasitic to the economy. The government should be promoting competition not limiting it by wasting resources enforcing leonine contracts to actively make the economy worse.
So your view of the stock market is that the only sustainable returns are from dividends? Capital investment, new market opportunities and technologies, ipos and so on are just unsustainable short term noise?

Amazon doesn't care about counterfeit merchandise, for MicroSDs I only buy them used anymore, usually off eBay (which also doesn't care about fake MicroSD cards :c). They get the benefit of survivorship bias, are cheaper and I have yet to get a fake MicroSD this way.
The QiLin Jailbreak toolkit
I concur. Use the open source as “proof the product is solid”. It’s a badge of honor and could allow enterprise customers to check off the “ensure we can support it ourselves if needed box”. Likely they would never do that, but they could from a risk management POV.
But it was tested time and time again. How vain do you think musicians are? Or rather, do you believe that the idea of early musical education didn't occur to anyone except Mozart's dad? It's very widespread. But most children don't even have manual dexterity and hand-eye coordination to start out so early, "talent" aside.

The fact of the matter remains, that no secret educational approach has ever been verified; that the rate of extraordinary geniuses appearing in history wasn't affected by the attempts to replicate the conditions of their manifestation; and that most of said geniuses had abnormally talented parents – some of whom deliberately tried to raise an even better successor and some did not.
I would settle for the ability to use logical OR when searching issues/pull requests, or to combine multiple negated searches.

"is:pr is:open ( author:bob OR author:jim )"

The lack of this pretty basic functionality makes issue & PR search much less useful than it could be.
Europe and the UK have an insane amount of ordnance left over from the two world wars. France still recovers about 900 tons a year. Some areas hit by chemical attacks still won't grow anything, a century after WWI.
Oops, that pricing page was actually left up erroneously (thus why it's not linked anywhere). That was a previous pricing model that is no longer active. Monolist is currently entirely free while we're in this open beta and development phase.

We actually abandoned that model because we agree with you. Limiting the number of items per month would be going against the use case of the product.

Well, if you take the analogy of the car, that today is working quite efficient and hassle free, that, I would argue, is in large part due to regulation and bureaucracy. Something that the Internet and computing does not have at the moment.

That word has some negative connotations, but I do not think that is fair, considering the cars, or the airplanes, history. We assume that the car we purchase has seat belts and catalytic converters which will prevent lots of injuries and effects on the climate and living things. These are mandated by laws in many places, and that is a good thing, because we can worry about the entertainment system, service deals, colour and style and still get a car that meets certain "basic" requirements. I say "basic" as they can be quite advanced, we would hardly buy a car without ABS or a crash rating today.

Computer programs and websites do not have to meet any regulations and they therefore easily succumb to bloat, because there is no one being blamed for them being unusable, which is broad, but a website over, say, 1MB is quite large. Plenty are wasting CPU cycles to render and compute, which might not be as polluting as exhaust from a car, but it is polluting and stealing time.

Early cars had to change oil very often or have it refilled, because it leaked in to the combustion chamber or gasses leaked out. This causes emissions to be quite hostile, which is bad because it affects the environment and living beings respiratory systems, among other things. We then got laws regulating this and manufacturers were keen to improve the performance of the engines. Today there are 1,6 liter, four cylinder engines that work well pulling loads and still manage to have a good fuel economy when driven under average conditions.

Another thing is that customers got fed up with steel wheels and rubber tires that blew out all the time and the wheels on our transports improved as well, but that took some years to happen, the Internet and personal computers are still quite young and immature, there is still time for it all to mature quite a bit, and this article is a good step on the way towards that in my opinion.

UX is maybe not as simple to regulate as cars and their emissions and safety standards but I would say that we should not be all to opposed to some more requirements or maybe even laws regarding how we operate computers and programs in some respects and let the market, users that is, dictate what is desired in other areas. We might like to think that the internet is the wild west, so to say, but this has led to some mighty bloat and headaches for all involved, as this article shines a light on.
> GDPR is a shining beacon of success

I can't browse the internet with cookies disabled anymore because of all these horrible banners taking up the screen to take my consent.

For people who care about privacy, it's made the experience worse, not better, I even send a DNT header and still get this.

I am blocked from accessing certain sites, so now I have to route my connections through countries outside of the US, this is not a success for people like me.

If they had involved technical people, we wouldn't see such horrible implementations.
I think that's not the right property, as it's in Woodside not Los Altos Hills. Based on google maps and the picture in the WSJ article, the location of the property appears to be 690 Loyola Drive, Los Altos, CA. It seems to be multiple parcels (one for the vineyard and one for the house).
Sure, but FB had a smaller network than Myspace. Instagram once had a smaller network than Flickr. They grew the network through better UX (ok it's hard to say now with their MS-Word style shotgun blast of icons, but FB was once miles ahead of MySpace).
"Just communicate better" puts an enormous burden on people. I already know the opening times for places I go regularly. Seasonal schedules are not a thing here, presumably because of DST.

It's ridiculous to suggest that it's easider for every business update Google (and Yelp and everything else) twice yearly, and that everybody check that before they go anywhere. That is way more human labor than daylight savings.
Actually you need people in the city to not depend on cars. Public transport, cycle lanes and a reason to stay in the city centre like good restaurants, cafes, some festivals. Just closing a street to cars might just make everyone drive around and miss it. Also don‘t let big shopping malls be build at the outside of the city with huge parking areas. Create parks instead.
True, angles would add a little extra depending on how large the proccessor panels were and their separation distance.

I had envisioned every link comminicating independantly. what would be the advantage of communicating syncronously?
I would expect it to be mentioned on the project page if that were the case.

It's also possible that there are only so many ways to design a nice looking mask that puts something in front of your nose. So it could be coincidence.
Of your 5 bullet points, what's the difference between #2 and #5? You say people believing #2 are misinformed, but that #5 raises a true anticompetitive concern, but they're the same thing, no?

As for it being for the Google Search team to address, rather than the AMP team, I'd be inclined to disagree. AMP Cache is a part of the AMP spec., the Google Search team are just implementing it as described. What they're doing is just what the AMP Cache is designed to do, nothing more.

Also, while you describe #3 as nihilist,I fear it's the most true among the wider, non-HN implementers of AMP on sites.
