It is absolutely an implementation detail.

But it's also the defining characteristic - it's the essential thing that sets blockchains apart from all the many other ways you could create an append-only register that can be used by multiple parties.

The fact that the hash is both an implementation detail and the defining characteristic is exactly why, IMO, "blockchain" is an inappropriate word to use in most business plans. Implementation details as a headline feature of your elevator pitch is a classic characteristic of a solution in search of a problem.

As far as I'm aware, nobody was talking about peer-to-peer supply chain management before "blockchain" became a buzzword. Probably because you don't need peer-to-peer when you have a natural central authority. The organization whose supply chain it is in the first place, for example.

Given his history, he doesn't seem like someone that is manipulable and I expect he has enough FU money and cred to not be coerced into anything unwillingly. Sometimes the simplest explanation is the best?

The way a CoC would work, I think, is hard to quantify.

Sure, it may mean that some folks rage-quit on principle, some will continue bad conduct and get themselves kicked out, some will subvert the intent of it one way or another.

But if a CoC is "successful", it will mean that gradually you'll start to see folks who were previously under-represented start to contribute. You'll see more diversity and less fear and loathing. Is that a worthy goal? Yes, for many.
I got cheap SSDs in cheap USB cases for my 2 Pis after getting annoyed with SD corruption. SSD prices have dropped recently after being flat for a long time. If you are really cheap the cases often go for $1 or free after rebate at newegg.
The Oculus Go is $200 and doesn't need a computer either. Mobile VR has always required less power than PC VR.
I'm with sibling comment, give it another go. Thile carries his weight, and frankly I thought Keillor was getting old, cranky, and past his expiration date. The music is better, Thile can actually sing (in contrast to the previous host), and the skits are just as funny as always.

And though a bit niche, if you enjoy world-class mandolin playing, you'll do far worse than Chris Thile. Man, mandolin or not, if you just enjoy good musicianship, give it a listen.
"asserted ownership of everything I build, at work or away from work, using my own equipment, on my own time—it doesn't matter"

That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. Assuming you're not stealing technology, or doing it on their time or machines, there is no way a court would uphold that. If I build a house, or rebuild a car in my off time, they own that too? Corporations don't own your entire life.
Good reminder! Also to mention: When researchers research about some new Magical thing, they need to also come up with potential applications to continue receiving funding, prospective interests, get publicity, etc.

It is very possible that this article could be nothing more than: Researchers unveil new nano-material with high strength properties, cite concrete as a possible application supplement.
clickbait. this is an ad for revolut.
It's ludicrous to think good ideas only come from North America and white males. Carmichael Roberts agreed with me. His words were that my question felt "piercing" because he was not at liberty to tell me about some of the companies outside the US with diverse leadership, but he said he will soon say more. Rodi Guidero agreed and said to look at the BEV team. It's very diverse: http://www.b-t.energy/ventures/team/

We've tried being gender and race blind. But it's not helped us much, because systemic biases can't simply be overcome that way. There are good ideas in all corners, but if you want to elevate those that don't come from privileged backgrounds you have to work harder.
I'll take this, as all I know Mr. Carmack is behind it.
You can. However 1 billion potential customers are dangerous to ignore. It isn't just that they don't buy from you, it is that they buy from your competition - which can include a brand new company they start locally - which gives your competition enough cash to design their next version better than yours.
Instead, they use a sophisticated absorbent to selectively capture water, heat it to release the water, then sterilize and add minerals.

So it's using a dessicant? Heating a saturated dessicant in an enclosed environment can produce a hot, high humidity environment where dehumidification is easy. That said, it will still produce the most water someplace like San Francisco, where the humidity is high. There are places where humidity is high and the rainfall is very low.

Apparently, Zero Mass Water is using some good engineering to get something like a 4X efficiency increase for water extraction over existing commercial dessicant dehumidifiers. It's possible that removing the requirement to process large volumes of air could produce such an efficiency increase.

IANAL, but my understanding is that this isn't true, and the whole subfield of tort law [1] is about the rights and obligations that firms have even in the absence of a contract. If you steal trade secrets from a competitor, even if you have no contract or business relationship with them, they can still sue you for a very large amount of money and possibly get an injunction against using that stolen information. Similarly for cases of patent/copyright infringement, libel, slander, price-fixing, antitrust, etc.

I suspect that a large class of these "business ethics" violations are actually torts, but the problem with enforcing them is that to do so you a.) need to know what your rights are b.) need to detect violations of them and c.) need to bring a lawsuit against the offender. I remember that on Google's invention disclosure form, one of the questions was "How easy would it be to detect if a competitor was using this invention in their product?", and if the answer was "We'd never know", we wouldn't patent the idea and would keep it as a trade secret instead, on the assumption that if a competitor could use the invention illegally without us knowing about it, they would, and so it was better to deny them knowledge of the invention entirely than to publish and try to enforce unenforceable rights.

When the aggrieved party is a consumer or worker, it's triply difficult, as most consumers a.) aren't aware of their rights b.) have no information about what's going on inside big corporations and c.) don't have money to sue even if they know. Many of the ethical problems in U.S. business today stem from the legal system not being able to scale up to 300M often poorly-informed citizens.

Exactly. And those small and medium sized businesses are in the dust bin of history.

These are the same businesses that everyone at HN laughs at as they only pay $40k/year for senior software engineers.
IMO its a different tone. The first says "no. well... maybe..." [I don't want to undercut the value of the property] whereas the other says "yes. well... maybe..." [I don't want to appear unappreciative of the resources of the company that owns mine].

Pardon my cynicism, but it strikes me either as naivety or fanboy-ism to label the Apple Watch as the "tipping point" for healthcare tech. Wearables for consumer health that touch on actual healthcare in a few areas are a pretty low hanging, low yield fruit if you want to talk about 'disrupting' the industry. Maybe I'll eat my words in a few years when wearables somehow force EHR systems to be interoperable or tackle some of the other massive issues in healthcare tech. I doubt it, though.

This is nothing against the Watch tech itself. There's probably a lot of cool applications for that tech. I just don't think Apple's advancement of wearables is monumental to the healthcare industry, or potentially disruptive.

> The FDA – Running Hard to Keep Up With Disruption

Honestly, I don't really know what he's talking about with this 'disruption.' Just because the FDA is trying to keep pace with all the tech being built by health tech startups, it doesn't mean anything is getting disrupted. I have yet to see what I would consider a disruptive technology sweeping over the healthcare industry.

>What's wrong with tracking raw downloads?

I think that there might be some who would want to pay based on how many people use the promo code of a podcast rather than the number of downloads or who would like number of plays not downloads. And if I, as a user, download the episode twice does that count as two downloads?

I seem to recall some discussion on the accidental tech podcast that some advertisers would like more analytics such as if the downloader listened to the episode all the way through or if they skipped the ads or something like that but podcast apps are not currently offering that.
Very cool.

What benefit does transferring value with a blockchain have over any other method of transferring digital currency? People have been using chest keys and cosmetic items as currency on Steam for years, there are even sites where you can cash out and get money in exchange for digital currencies. Steam also has the benefit of being a point of authority that can handle fraud and theft.

Contract PM roles tend to be axe-men -- you're there to kick people and crack whips because you're not part of the org and don't have to worry about future interactions or consequences. Also makes it easy to shoehorn in new ideas and break out of groupthink, which is necessary for big orgs, IMO.

Plus you're gone when the project or milestone is completed, instead of having to worry about finding another role or laying you off.

I was invited to a tent-covered block party in SF by a friend active in politics and the Asian-American scene. I was told that the party was being thrown by a Chinese family that owned something like 30% of SF property. I have no way of verifying this.

My point being that money, in one way or another, caused the housing crisis, and it may not have anything to do with liberal vs conservative, zoning, regulations, or prop 13. SF is an iconic city, and money will always flow there. Meanwhile, virtually everyone I knew in SF was a renter, and most of them were in tech. The only ones I knew who owned had pre-IPO Google money or made it to Google Staff positions.

How does your language compare to the glut of modern systems-ish languages like Rust, Go, Swift, Julia, Nim? I see a lot of C++ influence here.

Also, was any effort made to make this work in the browser sans browserify? Meaning, can I replace the networking component and maybe put in my own webrtc connector impls and still leverage all the kad stuff ala peer buckets/closeness?
Often there are ways to make money around an academic environment.

For instance I got paid part-time to do research as an undergraduate at New Mexico Tech. I know at Cornell this is this service called "TakeNote" which pays graduate students to take notes for undergraduate classes. I am sure there are other things at other unis. Note that people around Unis have a large need for services involving (natural) languages that are not their native language so if you know language L you may be helpful in many ways to people who don't know L.

One of the best "unskilled" jobs you can get is doing high-intensity cleaning projects at somebody's house. This is not being a regular maid but rather busting ass for four hours to do the cleaning that a homeowner would take twelve

Only a few neighborhoods are entirely single-family homes.

Heh. The "shouldShowAlertForRequest" function is checking if a userInfo.message key equaling "Not authorized to view user". I would have expected something a little less dependent on a string isEqual check against an English phrase.
That is a separate problem from what the article describes.
This is really a reply to "toomuchtodo," but I don't have a reply link under their post. They wrote:

> I would ask for proof people would be outraged. Google and Facebook have used their overwhelming first world profits to fund internet ventures in the third world, and no one is outraged over the actions except for the blatant colonialism the actions represent.

Well, obviously you can't prove a hypothetical, but the "outrage" suggested here isn't about for-profit companies funding charities. It's about being charged even minimal amounts for services. Google and Facebook do not charge users for their core services, so they are not good comparison points.
The evanmiller blogpost is indeed a great resource, I should add that that to further readings.
And Amazon is so concerned that its managers could spontaneously forget not to do any of those four specific things that they made this handy acronym to help them remember. /s

But this image appears at about the middle of the article, after the fold - so whatever the rationale, it wouldn't be particularly useful clickbait.

The rest of the article is pretty unambigous though. The expectation that employees should focus more on "customer obsession" than their own wage is rather funny. The "warning signs" and general language is less so.

I'm not sure how the legal situation in the US is - but the quotes seem like they very carefully try to stay out of legal trouble, but go as far far as they can in anti-union tactics otherwise.

I don't understand this how the hell would they even know what you are doing at home?

If your home project gains a little traction to financially support you then you quit the day job, and don't tell them anything. If not then it's some private home project you do.

Can't believe you are making decisions on what you do at home based on some company that could easily disappear, lay you off, get sold, etc etc, before your side projects ever materialize.

That should be OS level. The fact that the OS does not provide good, lightweight ways for mortal users to whip up additional user-accounts for guests and family-members without breaking a lot of things should not mean that Google makes their own into the browser and adds yet-another-layer-of-login.

> access to the CEO is so tightly controlled that it's basically used as a political weapon

This is true at almost any organization of scale. Access to top decision makers must be restricted. The people who make decisions about the restrictions, therefore, gain influence through that process. The power can be used properly or improperly. In this case, it appears to have been used properly: there was no further discussion on the matter, and the employee had shown themselves to be out of line with the CEO's strategy.
Be that as it may Premier Support for Java 11 still lasts until September 2023. So yes, Premier Support is down to five from eight years but I don't see how this requires a different licensing model.

On a different note my personal experience with Premier Support could best be described as war of attrition. If we won that and got lucky after waiting a few months we got "it's fixed in the next major release". That is the best case. That was with Oracle database, not Java. In general the process is so annoying we won't report a bug unless we absolutely have to. I assume that was the goal behind the design of the process.
