1. Remittance networks are constantly being disrupted. Just look at Transfer-to, Transferwise, Ozforex etc. And the real wallets are just starting (eg Alipay). Whats not disrupting international remittance markets is crypto. And the reason is that it didnt solve any problems!

- Western union built the largest and easiest cash-in cash-out network for non-banked customers. THEN it sat on this network and collected lots of forex fees.

- Banks persuaded people that they were safe places to store their money. THEN they sat on this and collected fees from forex.

If crypto could do either of those things it would see adoption. As its stands its light years away from being usable or trustworthy - so this isn't going to happen anytime soon.

2. Financial intermediaries don't make that much money. Eg compare the market cap of your countries largest switch with that of its largest bank. Banks make most of their money from loaning and investing money, not payments. If crypto had potential they would be selling you it with interest.

3. There are entirely rational arguments against crypto being legalised as currency. And if we are to move forward with replacing our unit of value it would be wise to understand why, example:

- Countries rely on taxation to provide social services, how will crypto adoption impact?

- People are easily swindled, how will crypto prevent that?

- People dont like it when their money suddenly devalues overnight - how will crypto prevent that?

Believe it or not its not a vast conspiracy. The majority of what regulators do is to react to some past monetary catastrophe. There are ways ahead but seriously - it's time to get practical with solutions.

Yes. It's a beautiful algorithm. Yes, everyone hates fees, financiers and inequality. But no, the algorithm alone isn't going to help us fix that.
So your solution to a sandbox app is to buy a Samsung device and use a corporate MDM product to manage that one device?

But what metric would you use anyway? Number of discovered bugs doesn't work because the whole premise is that a higher percentage of the bugs will be found.
It's inherently difficult to measure. But refute the logic: Bugs found by vendor + everyone else > Bugs found by vendor alone.

Google and third parties have been finding bugs in other people’s closed source products for decades. Again just because people can look at code doesn’t mean that people are looking at code.

You made the claim that there are less bugs in open source software, without any citations, studies, etc.

Android and Darwin are open source but a large part of both iOS and Android are closed source.
>>"Forcing" a trusted party into the exchange is the optimization, and it only works because everyone does it.

The point you're skipping over is that there are network effects in the role of trusted third party, leading to monopolies/oligopolies, which can extract artificially high fees.

This is where distributed consensus has an advantage: it can provide the same and even stronger guarantees on the integrity of records, while preventing any third party from using their monopolistic position to extract high fees.

Just as an FYI, data quality varies heavily based on location.
Here in Lübeck, Germany, Google sucks and amongst other things shows non existant streets while OSM is simply correct.

In Pretoria, South Africa, OSM has information outdated by several years while Google does not.
Oh, right. Now I understand.

On the other hand, we can (today!) predict height from raw sequence with correlation 0.65: http://www.genetics.org/content/210/2/477. It does not mean we can do such prediction for designed sequence (predictor likely will fail to generalize), but it can be used to select from natural variation. I don't see any wishful thinking here.
This. Years ago I had the same problem with people making unreasonable demands within the first week of open sourcing, despite clearly marking it Alpha and versioning it as 0.0.n. I closed the whole project in disgust.

My advice would be to not take the road I took, but to realise that there will always be impatient people desperate for the free solution that you're providing -- it'll be better for your soul to be forgiving (I say this in hindsight). Don't let yourself get caught up in their dramas, but calmly instruct them to what FOSS is about.
The Shenzhen HarMoniCare Women & Children’s Hospital, the medical ethics committee of which gave a permit to this, was one of the so-called Putian-systems, a medical network established by hundreds of people from Putian, Fujian who earned their first bucket of gold by selling “home made remedies and fake medicine at high prices”.

It’d be nice if you could explain and explore a bit about what the manufacturers claim all the cameras are about and what they enable the user to do, and what drawbacks or negative consequences you believe these additional cameras might have (you only mentioned cost).

For me personally I wasn’t aware any phones had more than one rear camera, as I don’t follow any of this, so you’re blog post here was my first intro.

All the best with your writing.

Ask HN: What is your opinion on DAI a stable cryptocurrency built on Ethereum?
In my opinion, it's delusional (at least for now) to believe that a massive amount of businesses will start accepting crypto like Bitcoin without selling it at the market value automatically. Businesses need stability and we can't ask them to trust a currency that can lose 80% of its value in a few months.

Businesses want stability but they also want to maximize their revenue by eliminating unnecessary costs. The current credit card processing fees are around 2-3% which is huge! By accepting a stablecoins like DAI instead of credit card payment a businesses could save a lot of money.

I would be curious to hear what HN thinks about this.

Talk about a deeply scary quote, and he wasn't even wrong when he said it.
I'm not gonna read all your code, and I'm not even sure if this is your problem, but just as a pattern match based on what you said: for System F, only the first and second ranks have decidable inference, not the whole thing. Inference in the first rank is often referred to as the "Hindley-Milner" algorithm; you can infer types for the second fragment but I'm not aware of an implementation. After that it's undecidable.

To put that another way, if `forall a.` introduces types (it's like the big lambda), then you can only have a type with `forall`s on the left on the outside. So:

`forall a. forall b. a + b` is a type but

`forall a. a -> forall b. b -> c` is not a type since that `forall` isn't all the way on the left in a chain like the first one.

If you're not in that fragment, and you're trying to infer types, you're gonna have a bad time unless you've got something exceedingly clever up your sleeve.

So `ForAll` should not be one of the "Type" type constructors. It should be its own type, like

# The int is the number of variables bound, then the type is the type that uses them
data Scheme = Int Type
data Type = 0 | 1 | Var Int | Product Type Type | ...

The sender can easily buy bitcoins, the receiver can easily sell them. Neither has to know or care what local currency the other uses.

Sending bitcoin is easy in a connected app and requires no permission or blessing from the world's financial and governmental overlords. It's essentially a native "value transfer protocol" of the internet. Wheras managing hundreds of pairs of currencies using some choice of third party intermediary companies brings in third parties, contracts, counterparty risks, regulatory issues, legal issues, risk of government seizure, censorship & interference, etc.

Credit repair
UNIVERSAL HACK9 is truly good. My score seems to decrease and I believe the two reasons are a closed credit card (3 years ago) and a debt that went to collection (2-3 years ago). I just recently found out that my debt went to collection and this made me check my credit score+report. I would like to remove it from collection and see what I should do about the closed account to improve and boost my credit score. But I had no idea how to make this happen because these two are hard inquiries as stated in my report and I don’t know why my average credit account history is poor. So I contacted universalhack9 @ gmail. com because he helped my neighbor early this year. And he just prove himself once again my credit score was 448 he raised it to 787 and remove the negative item on my report. Thank you, no regrets man. Contact this guy for any hacking job.

Truly don't get this. Insurance discriminates before the fact: it's a framework to gauge risk, and collect a premium for managing it. There is no charity involved in that process.
Exactly. Meat produced from grazing animals is not neccesarily a bad thing -- many fields are simply not suited for farming, and grazing animals may be able to produce more food per square metre compared to withering crops.

Problem is that most meat simply isn't produced that way.

The state is not the best manager, let's be honest. They should sell the shares as soon as possible, permitting market conditions. Otherwise you'll have elected jerks grandstanding and playing games.

Not bailing them is also easier said than done: tens of thousands of direct and indirect jobs.

And because the state bailed them out 10 years doesn't mean that the plant in a certain city will stay open for eternity.

I would argue the fact, that today’s surface run pretty much unfettered windows 10 gives them more useful software than Chrome Os, Android, and Linux. Who cares about the Android and Chrome Os apps when they are mostly social networks, media consumption, or badly ported phone apps, and when you can literally install and run in compatibility mode pretty much any software ever written for windows.

ChromeOS will no doubt improve here but surely you don't believe in the "more apps!" argument today.

Secondly, cryptocurrency advocates are pointing to two factors as the cause of the bear market, Bitcoin Cash hard fork and the US SEC. However, a crypto analyst has spoken up in defense of the US regulator.

I agree. I try not to think about it. Or what I could do for myself and the community with my tax dollars. Instead of sending them 5000 miles away to DC. What a joke.

Also not to mention, if you were jailed for some reason, you'd get fired and probably fined $10,000. If you don't have the money: Well, Welcome to the streets!

People are so ego-invested in this absurd and hysterical reality. I don't get it. I will say it seems to be reinforced every minute through our tv media.

For example, sometimes when I speak with someone hysterical (80% of SF and some of my family now) they'll calm down and we'll have an open rational (non-ideological) dialogue. After, I think to myself 'ok it's not all lost'.

Then I see them again and they're back to the hysteria. It's like a robot who forgot their programming.

Still doesn't make any sense.

- You need a third party intermediary if you want to use bitcoin as an intermediary unless you want to build an exchange yourself. It's just as easy if not more so to use a remittance company.

- Why would a sender buy bitcoins to send it to her friend when she can just click "send X rupiah to Nam" and receive a message like "Nam will get Y Dong". Or even "Send Y Dong to Nam" and receive the cost in rupiah.

This scenario only works if both the sender and receiver are comfortable in using bitcoin instead of their local currency as their unit of stored value. Which we know nobody is.

>> The sender can easily buy bitcoins, the receiver can easily sell them. Neither has to know or care what local currency the other uses.

People generally tend to care how much money they will be receiving!

> Wheras managing hundreds of pairs of currencies using some choice of third party intermediary companies for remittancing brings in third parties, contracts, counterparty risks, regulatory issues, legal issues, risk of government seizure, censorship & interference, etc.

Yes if your a remittance company. Which I assume this application developer isn't.

BADGE BUDDIES IN BLUE BORDER OF EITHER ORIENTATION
Yeah, I hate that. I've asked a few questions on those sites and came back later, excited to read what answers I got and...it had been closed immediately, before anyone could answer it. GRRRR!

Maybe there could/should be a 'broad' SE site alongside every 'normal' one? The 'too broad' questions include most of the interesting ones to read. The ones that are 'intellectually interesting'.[0] It's a shame. I love how you can ask anything on HN without being shut down like that. It's so unfriendly, hurtful even. (At worst on here, no-one answers - no harm done.) Why they can't just let 'too broad' questions go for a day or two to see what responses come in, and delete the page if it sux, I don't know. The mods get points for closing things, I guess. Often they don't understand the question, it seems.

[0] e.g. https://mathoverflow.net/questions/43690/whats-a-mathematici...

Well, bizarrely the close notice on that says "This question is unlikely to help any future visitors; it is only relevant to a small geographic area, a specific moment in time, or an extraordinarily narrow situation that is not generally applicable to the worldwide audience of the internet." Which seems absurd. (Although sure, the question doesn't help people, the answers do though.)

If you think about the insurance business, it’s only economic value added is fraud detection and minimization. Someone needs to have an incentive to prevent fraudulent claims. The economic value of publishing is orderly and dispassionate administration of intellectual property ownership. Successfully publishing a paper entitles the author to permanent ownership of the work. The author name never changes. A paper that leads to tenure at a major research university has a discounted value of more than 7 figures (USD or Euros.) This is why the academic beneficiaries of this system, who further control research, are not eager for alternative methods, or they could bring it down rapidly.
