As someone who has sort of "fallen into" the education field, I can only say this: If any of the interviews I've had, or the resumes I've sent, had turned into job offers more lucrative and reliable than education, I'd be doing something else. You aren't the only teacher who does it because you enjoy it; I'm not the only one who does it because nothing else is available to me. I am evidence of the axiom, "those who can, do; those who can't, teach" - if you aren't, good on you.

> there is a protestant ethic that says God reward his believers with success in life so protestants would then work hard or try to be successful as a way to seek confirmation from the community that they are good standing believers.

As the story goes, protestants changed their religion (or better yet created a new one) to fit their peculiar cultural trats, not the other way around.

It's only slow because you are not used to paying with cash. Most payments are done with cash here, and the few people paying with cards cause small but noticeable delays. Counting cash is usually faster than handling a card reader, entering the PIN and whatnot. The odd drunkard or elderly customer is comparable to the odd technical problem, which usually takes longer to resolve.
Nobody is forcing you to use them, and you can still use a library written in Reason from OCaml, and vice versa.

I think the problem is the ffi overhead to C from Go is really high, like, way higher than any comparable language, because of the segmented stack thing. I mean the nice thing about Love2d is that LuaJIT has the best ffi overhead when calling C.

There's a cost not just in time, but also in willpower. There is some disagreement as to whether willpower is a finite resource or not, but if there is even a partial limitation, then coming up with that willpower needs to be taken into consideration.

Also, saying "you make time" is true in such a way that is of little value, as there are a multitude of things you can make time for, such as connecting with your friends and family, learning new skills, educating your children, and any of those can take up as much time as you have. Life is a balance of things where you try to minimize your regret, since there is just not enough time to do everything you want to do.

There is no updating of arguments necessary.

The problem in Bitcoin today are the same problem that have existed for years.

That problem being that there are too many people focused on esoteric solutions, like watchtowers, 2nd layers, and even 3rd layers, that only developers care about. And not enough people talking to customers or merchants, and building things that make Bitcoin work as an actual currency.

Seeing as the whole point of this stuff is to work as a currency, it seems like this should be important.

It is a rare few companies, such as BitPay, that are building things like point of sale devices that actually make it possible for consumers to buy things from merchants.
Except that those _homes_ take up land which we are currently incapable of creating more of. It's great that your grandmother has a place with all those memories. Does that mean that everyone my age and younger is no longer allowed to live near their work, so that your grandma can reminisce when she looks around?

Thats the trade-off that is happening right now, when people can make a decision 40 years ago and get to control scarce resources from that point until they die.

>You know full well that this idea of future individuals being relegated to 'living in the country' is complete nonsense.

I don't think that's complete nonsense at all. I live in the Boston area and the majority of people I know making over 6 figures either have roommates or a 1+ hour commute.

Grandma living in a detached home on a quarter acre of land in the city means that 20+ people can not live near jobs because of the apartment building that is not there.

It is a perfectly valid opinion to think that this is an acceptable trade-off, but to act like the trade-off is not happening is just sticking your head in the sand.

Additionally a land value tax is not "stealing" the home from anyone. It's accepting that there are scarce resources and there needs to be a pressure to use them in the most efficient manner. If you can provide the value to keep your home on it's own, then fine you get to live there. If you can't you get to sell your highly valued home and reap the benefits of that value. That is capitalism at it's core. If Grandma thinks she should be protected from economic forces and isn't voting for socialist policies to give similar protections to others, then that's just pulling up the ladder after you which is not a viewpoint I'd give any consideration to when I vote

You can disable all of that and boot any code you like. For the 99% that don’t want bootkits to be possible on their hardware, you can require a signed bootloader. Best of both worlds.
1. Just don't accept any bill over €50 (this is common in shops too, no one expects to be paid for groceries or a beer at a festival in €100 bills). Most people are still pretty skilled in handling cash, although this is a declining skill. We've been doing cash transactions for centuries, we're still pretty good at it. The occasional slow-down is more than made up for by not having to charge or top-up your bracelet or what have you (you come prepared to the festival with cash).

2. A negligible amount for a vendor on a festival.

3. Not a problem on a festival. Booths tend to be manned by two persons because of other safety factors anyway, so staff stealing isn't an issue, and any organised criminality on a festival is usually limited to (relatively) low risk, high reward crime: pick-pocketing (smartphones in particular).
A while ago I wrote a Rubber Ducky server [1] that is remote controlled and uses a Raspberry Pi Zero W (which supports being a USB HID device).

Once connected to a host computer, it exposes a hidden WiFi network that allows you to inject and run Ducky Scripts remotely in real time using a small web interface.

It also includes a Ducky Script parser written in Python which could be useful outside of this project.

The locked down nature of Swish and it’s monopoly status is worrisome. I was thinking there was just a ton of NFC readable payment devices that could accept any form of contactless payment like Apple Pay or Alipay or Google Pay etc... this is definitely not a good sign.

Regarding the article saying that if central banks become irrelevant due to cash going fully out of favor: that’s such BS. Deposits would just become credits from central banks to lending banks private or not so that customers could get credit and pay for goods digitally. No exchange of paper money is ever needed.

There’s already orders of magnitude more money in asset valuations than there is paper money to back them in the world economy why should we hold back because we are so fixated on paper currency. With the advent of token based contactless payment services like how Apple Pay works the future is secure payments without cash and those burndensome coins I have to handle while getting Che he after a purchase.

Lastly, if things go digital fully it could mean that securing and auditing and processing could be even cheaper and could allow for entrants that can still profit on transaction processing but at much lower rates than the current incumbents charge retailers.

It’s the opposite here in Germany. Some places have support for contactless payment, take credit cards, etc., but most even if they do prefer you to pay with cash as it’s cheaper for them. There’s also this German only banking alliance where they have put forth a EC card that has very low to no fees for participating entities as the funding and processing is all done in Germany amongst the member financial institutions. But my N26 account doesn’t offer one so I’m out of luck there.

The thing is the incumbents both state and private want to keep the status quo alive: the Mastercards of the world want to keep fees high and central banks want to keep control of interest rates by influencing the supply of currency in the market. I think both can still be done without cash and it leaves the possibility that with time and good legislation and technological improvement and some enterprising people there might become solutions that take the friction of paying for and make the settling accounts and such cheaper for all parties involved.

> but is potentially better than hyperthreads because it's not limited

But also potentially worse because hyperthreads schedule only on actual memory waits, whereas this approach puts a suspension point after each prefetch whether or not the target is actually in cache.

> handle communications within dozens of nanoseconds. So its a bad "emulator" for SuperComputers

But ping on local host reports .3 ms latency..?

In any case it’s still an easy way to get started, and arguably when exact latency starts counting for something, you have to be tuning your code on the system it’s going to run on. An RPi cluster could skew that in all sorts of ways, eg the TCP stack being disproportionately slower etc
It is more about memory pressure than instruction pressure - the idea is that when an algorithm finds itself having to fetch something from memory, it can issue a prefetch, then take a step back and handle other requests while waiting for the result.

How this would fare in a real world scenario that isn't a benchmark but in a system that is also doing other stuff at the same time is anyones guess though.
What for? Just stay back on the defensive and mind your own business.

Htop: Here’s how to customize it (Linux and Mac)
It's a bunch of variables, so expose them to the users, and let them create and share color schemes. Pick some of those for the off-the-shelf selection, and it'll be better than any single color scheme.

Even better would be a standard way for websites and browsers to negotiate color schemes, and for users to be able to set specific themes for sites, a theme for all sites, themes depending on the URL, enforce legibility with color blindness, and so on. It's 2018, yet we don't even trust people with selecting user stylesheets in the GUI anymore.

To me, how to make neat colors is a discussion normal users should have, that it's so much in the hand of web designers is a failure in and of itself.

This is good. I have seen a lot of workers/friends who applied legitimately get fucked because of this kind of abuse of the system.

I still think expansion of the h1b program is necessary since there is a lot of demand. But curbing the abuse will definitely help the current set of people opting to use the legal way.

The pen thing for signatures is a US phenomenon. Where we have debit cards (contactless and without the need for a PIN even for small amounts in a growing number of countries), they are stuck with a very slow, reluctant transition to PIN-and-chip; something the rest of us did in the late nineties.

The upside is that the US is at this point better at holding on to the principle of being able to use cash everywhere in addition to other payment options; something that is starting to become a problem in Europe.
Trying to pass off using COTS tunnel boring machines that are already available for decades as "advanced tunneling" is simply wrong and dishonest.

Every time I was at a festival there were some problems with ATMs not working, having no cash left etc.

I’d rather have the bracelet solution and don’t have to worry about having 100 coins in my pockets or losing my wallet.
That's fine when you are at home - quick and painless.

But try losing your card overseas and see how you feel then... Especially if you have to put a stop on your card... Slow and very painful...

Hi, author here. AMA. But I would like to make a couple of points.

For starters, a lot of people are looking for a TL;DR. There is no such thing. Same with tooling.

This is an open publication and should be considered as is. The intention was to come up with a better architectural design than REST, reusing existing Internet architecture. And that was the real challenge. Because REST and HTTP have been built almost by the same person. Bending existing Internet architecture to fit another architectural style for networked services is extremely difficult, but apparently not impossible.

GraphQL for instance, uses HTTP just for the transport layer. That's a big assumption to make there, anyone can build very flexible stuff if you are about to re-design everything HTTP gives on top of HTTP.

Another note is the reason that it takes so much time to get to the actual model (section 9) is to make sure the reader understands what is REST and where REST fails. And I haven't really seen any other document/publication explaining REST so extensively. So for those who are complaining that none gives a definition of REST, then go through section 1-6 and you should have it.

Last but not least, Introspected REST is compatible with existing REST architecture, it just makes it more robust and flexible. So for the tiny hello world example, it doesn't really make any difference other than exposing some meta data through the OPTIONS endpoint, like the (JSON) schema and the linking. But for complex APIs it should give huge advantages compared to REST.

And again: this is an open publication. From that to actual implementation there are many steps needed to be taken (for starters defining the necessary microtypes).
Nothing about this is good. The entire system is one of arbitrary inefficiency. Punishing someone for trying to work around it and labeling it “fraud” when the only fraud going on is pushing a protectionist agenda as a free market isn’t a benefit for anyone.

Saying it’s suburban housing, or detached homes is a pure straw man argument as people can move from a suburban home to an apartment in the city very easily.

If you can sell a house, move to an apartment and net X00,000 $ that’s very attractive. So price difference are really part of the equation.

Also, people might prefer a detached home for ~30 years when having kids, but their is a constant stream of people exiting that life stage. How and where to downsize is a real question people deal with daily.
How is this going to help though? If you are starting out and have a few test projects on github it doesn’t really happen that random people discover them and do a code review. It barely happens with bigger open source projects.
Fraud wasn’t a mere label in this case. The positions he described to USCIS simply did not exist. If that’s not fraud then the word is meaningless.

You clearly didn't read the article because this guy did absolutely all the things that constitute a fraud, regardless if it has to do with a visa or not.

Creating fake jobs, falsifying documents, charging money to the people that were applying for visas, "parking" those visas with no paid wages and using those unpaid visa beneficiaries to undercut other firms...

I don't think there's a circumstance in any country in which those actions wouldn't be labeled as "fraud".
I am only commenting about the abuse of the h1b system as mentioned in the link.

This not about any of the other actions of “protectionist policy” that you mention.

You cannot do fake job postings in order to bench someone and call it “work around” in order to not call it a fraud and put it in a good light. The overall issue of h1b visa and foreign worker policy is highly nuanced and beyond what can be discussed in HN comments.

To reiterate- I am in support of easier migration of skilled workers than what is done today. But abuse of it (and a stark case at that) is something that harms other skilled workers looking to come in a legit way.
