Further to this, I question how many persons commenting actually understand the underlying principles of each of the so called blockchain offerings.

EOS relies on 11 elected validator nodes who have been shown to try to buy votes

ETH is the only platform IMO that truly captures consensus and its move towards proof of stake will improve transaction throughput.

All in all, the fact that I can complete a 1k transfer in 5mins for under 10 cents is unheard of in any banking workflow.
Of all the things that TACIXAT said, that was the only sentence you found that you could argue with. That leaves the rest of his statements unchallenged.
Of course, that "nightmare scenario" is exactly what happens; since Comcast, like every major ISP, is also a huge content producer and distributor - including with their cable service, and with Xfinity On Demand, which is a direct competitor to Netflix - they are distorting the market by charging for access to other services, just like MS did by bundling IE.

So you can make an hypothetical argument using a spherical ISP that doesn't follow net neutrality and also doesn't own a content distribution service, but in practice the two can't be separated.

Also, an engineer friend of mine recommended asking for help here -- so I feel obliged to mention this is my first time on HN. Thank you.
> I do see the usefulness of being able to do all of those things, but in practice, I don't appreciate it when it's done.

That I can certainly agree with. I also think users should be able to override and customize things... ideally, everybody gets more options? And user agents should absolutely be user agents, instead of brochure displays.

While design may be somewhat subjective, I also think websites are getting worse. If that's a "personal issue", we both have it :D Just the last one I just looked at, that made me think "why? who is this for?"

I just think marketing (and mobile?) play a much larger role in the downfall of the web and the rise of generic copy drowning in padding, than all the stuff we can do with CSS.
When you sign up, you grant the service the limited power of attorney to login as you. Typically a POA needs to be witnessed and/or notarized. I'm not sure how they're getting around that.
Uber is a money losing company that makes a (comparatively simple) taxi app for mobile phones. I don't think they'll ever be capable of making a self-driving car.
Shameless plug: There's also remote GUI support through Windows Admin Center. You can manage your headless server through the browser on your workstation.

>We tested ask by default and it turned out more users wanted them blocked.

I was one of those users, as I have Nightly installed. I hope you don't seriously think me clicking "no" on the majority of those popups in any way equates to me saying "videos should never autoplay." -- Hell I used my own service and approved one of those dialogs for it.

You should be careful how you read into statistics: there is a huge difference between "90+% of users said no to the autoplay prompt" and "90+% of users think autoplay should be off by default."

>Not sure why you would think your users could not handle that.

I don't think, I know, because I've fielded the numerous reports from users who thought my service was broken when Google[1] decided their "media engagement index" was too low and the videos weren't starting automatically for them.

It is objectively a bad experience for my users if they all have to manually click play and their streams are randomly offset from the host and they see people "spoiling" things in chat. The reality is that many of my users would sit on the page, looking at a play button (that wasn't there before), wondering why people are already talking about the video in chat. "Has it started yet?" "When does it start?" "I think I'm buffering", etc.

Former Canadian Diplomat Detained in China, Adding to Tensions
Most people actually like their money to be handled by a trusted entity. That trust is a feature.
You use the words "benefit" an "umbrella" that are actually euphemisms for the military occupation of defeated countries after WWII.

A country does not benefit having another country occupying their land. Germany is the fourth manufacturer of weapons of the world, they do not need to be defended or protected like the world "umbrella" implies, they can do it on their own.

If the Germans-Europeans had to pay for all the cost involved in the occupation there will be no reason to have the US army on Europe's land.
> I have never seen such an anger surrounding a technology

IMO, there is nothing emotional about stating the fact that ether&bitcoin have no fundamental value. It's as anry as "Autumn is rainy" statement.

And I get that bitcoin could be the best way for me to send 10K to, say, China. I don't even dispute it. I just want to note that I can do it with bitcoin or ether priced at $10K, $1K, $1 or $0.1. It's just bits and bytes.
> I genuinely think the audience would have cheered for most or all of it anyhow

How much of that is because the general audience is conditioned over time to adapt to that particular kind humour?
This is almost undeniable. Seems like everyone and their mother are using vscode, typescript is huge, .NET Core is FOSS, PowerShell is now open source, etc etc.

The Language Server Protocol has revolutionized IDEs in general.

And now that they own GitHub (and their projects like Atom), it seems like the entire FOSS developer workflow is likely to be from MS-derived projects. Which I'm sure they are hoping will translate into more cloud service revenue and online software subscriptions.

If you are starting a new company, BizSpark is a really attractive offering. Could run a whole business on it, and yet none of your devs need to be running windows on their machines.
Definitely not great behavior. The idea this was purely an anti-conservative thing when OSS advocacy is on this list is where my eyes glaze over though. Just on its face there is a lot of evidence in the other direction

>Ryun has stated he believes that Greenhouse Solutions benefited from its name (although the quick approval might also be due to the fact that Greenhouse Solutions was already operating as a nonprofit and was already on-file with the IRS.)

Like “conservative claims bias (but here is the real explanation).” Might as well place “claims to be innocent “ in the profile of every person in Shawshank

The insistence of people bringing up this thing as a conservative thing only when there were liberal groups also being targeted (There could have been a proper bipartisan effort against this!) is mind-boggling.
>and return less assets (no CSS, fonts etc)

no, it returns the whole page, it's just equivalent to rendering pages on your browser, everything in the initial HTML is the same in addition to HTML generated by javascript frameworks added to the DOM after the webapp scripts are loaded.
There isn't really a standard at the moment in my opinion, though from personal experience Sketch + InVision are the most commonly used. Figma is picking up a lot of interest. I've never seen a UI designer use Adobe XD.

Skills learnt in one tool should be fairly transferable, so it doesn't matter too much. Just don't use photoshop.
Thanks, we'll make that clearer in our next iteration.
This isn't necessarily a fair characterization of FreeBSD devs, although it's probably pretty close. I'd guess about 50-50 FreeBSD vs Mac users.

I wrote a comment about this a couple days ago on another thread:

I wish we had a simple UI we could bring up to expose cookies to other tabs (arbitrarily). I just want a list of cookies with rows marked in green if they're being sent with requests, red rows for cookies that would normally be sent for the same [sub]domain but are currently not, and then gray cookies that are established from completely unrelated domains. To me this would be better than maintaining tab profiles/containers that are for business/personal/etc. This would be like a one-off UI before you determine if you want to establish a container profile.

Also I want them to take tree tabs seriously. There is a plugin for this, but it doesn't look like a tree at all.. I am grateful for the plugin, I just wish it were a UI effort focused on. I cannot maintain more than 40 tabs open and easily browse through them. I'm tired of the response being "well don't".
That's exactly what I was thinking too.

Assuming it did happen, it would have focused on a small batch of servers to a small batch of clients.

They wouldn't have been installing this hack on every single server they produced.

So unless they pull every server for every major client and check, simply checking their warehouse stock proves nothing.

And thus, upon this realization, the sandwich app developers became utterly distraught, tearing their clothing and covering themselves in ashes.
I think having best military in the world for only $2K per year is not bad a deal. I spend more on gym membership. Of course, given that not each person in the US actually pays taxes, and of those who does, they are distributed very unevenly, my actual share is significantly higher, so I wouldn't mind some cuts there.

>Medicare is one of the most successful government programs ever.

I guess it depends on how you define successful. It’s the single largest budget item (>$1T/year), it’s largely wasteful, and our populace is only getting sicker (more chronic conditions and medications). We don’t aim to treat chronic illness in Medicare patients either we aim to manage it...it’s broken. And if you don’t believe it’s broken, all you need to do is look at the current transition from pay per service to outcome/managed based reimbursements to see even CMS has waived the white flag. Care will only decline as your Medicare insurer will own your primary care doctor, your specialists, the local hospital and your pharmacy under this system.

>Social Security would be a disaster if done by different jurisdictions or privately.

Have you received your SOcial Security Administration Statement? I don’t know about yours, I guess it varies by retirement age, but the last one I got informed me I should expect to receive $.42 for every $1 I put in...that is a broken system.

Because people are losing immense amounts of money to these scams. It's causing real harm.
It may have been best selling when initially released, but that relies on a lot of factors (other albums released at the time being a major one).

According to https://www.billboard.com/music/run-the-jewels, RTJ 3 peaked at #13 on Billboard 200. That's good, but it isn't being 'practically the biggest name in hip hop' good. Plus, most people probably wouldn't recognize Killer Mike or El-P (although more people may recognize Mike over El-P from his time supporting Sanders).

>You want something to play when you click the play icon on the video.

My users explicitly do not want that, it's why I built my service, to answer a need which was not met: the lack of a virtual space to have a shared theater-like experience. They want the video to play when it starts for everyone else in the room, and they were extremely confused a few months ago when Google broke the same thing.
> Superior performance? Like when windows take a whole second to appear because the protocol is synchronous and the server is busy doing something else?

Might be true, never happened to me. But what about FPS in Games. X11 beats it there for me. Or what about in the most important metric of them all: Latency. In all my Tests Latncy on Wayland is always a regression, compared to X11. (I use Intel and HDxxxx era AMD Graphics, can not say anything about Nvidia)

> Wayland makes lots of things possible

That might be true. But X11 can be extended and has been extended very often (hence the messy code). One thing I need regularly, namely OpenGL pass-through via SSH, will never be possible with Wayland.

> Every frame is perfect™

To me far less important than latency. Wayland should only care about tearing when I play full screen games. When I type on the terminal I want my characters appear instantly, then I don't care about tearing at all.
Or use KDE and have all of this out of the box :)
> In FreeBSD the kernel and userland are in sync so you dont have this issue.

This is true for the base system, but not necessarily true for ports / pkg. You can end up with an inconsistent pkg collection, unfortunately.
Ah, this was mainly because it's easiest to show UI/UX innovation in images :P

The gameplay is unique, and much has been written about it, but it's not all in one centralized location like that page, which was easier to put together as simply images for demonstration.

For the other side of things there are many many articles on the blog detailing systems and mechanics and design considerations. Plus there are Steam reviews, which give a pretty clear picture of what people think. This one, and many others, are telling: https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198035898628/recomm...

Not enough in most cases to make up for the earnings lost during the time spent studying, never mind the tuition. MBAs aren’t worth it outside the top tier. There are fields where a Master’s is a de facto requirement but they’re generally prestige fields where the money is crap in any case, for at least five years after graduation, for people with rich parents or spouses. Think publishing, fashion, art curation or working in the aid industry.

There are also fields where a doctorate is the entry level qualification like biotech, materials science etc. even in the private sector, but that's what happens when a there are more than ten times as many PhDs producer as there are academic jobs for.

Perhaps the previous paragraph of context helps:

> IRS Funding Decisions Fail to Take Into Account “Return on Investment.” On a budget of $11.8 billion, the IRS collected $2.52 trillion in FY 2012. That translates to an average return-on-investment (ROI) of about 214:1. Yet the appropriations process treats the IRS like any other discretionary spending program, with no explicit recognition that each dollar appropriated for the IRS generates substantially more than one dollar in additional revenue. Last year, the IRS Commissioner estimated in a letter to Congress that proposed reductions in the IRS budget would cause tax collections to fall seven times as much.
>
> “No business would fail to fund a unit that, on average, brought in $7 for every dollar spent. Shareholders would rebel and bring lawsuits, or at least oust the management or board of directors,” Olson wrote in her preface to the report. “Yet this is precisely what we are doing with the IRS budget.”
Yeah agreed 100%, for my RAID mirror setup I use drives from distinct manufacturers for that exact reason -- I can presumably expect a different failure rate (hopefully). :)

Maybe I'm too cheap but I don't see an option for 5/mo nodes in any DC, they're starting at 10 or 15.
I believe all the bitcoin and eth are down because the commoners/speculators stepped out. It's only used currently for black market stuff. And that is also moving to other coins with better cloakabilities.
Bitcoin and ether will slowly come to an end. Maybe it will one day be seen as ancient crypto relics and therefore still have some value. But not anytime soon
It’s been 10 years. When do we stop taking about potential and start talking about failure.
I'm guessing the distinction is down to slice vs entire pie, rather than flavor.
Yahoo (circa 2000) used to let you filter search results by no ads or no monetization, I forget the exact phrasing. It was sometimes useful then but it would be more interesting now. There is also https://millionshort.com/ which was a Show HN product from 2012, stripping out X number of top ranked websites from Google results.

These ideas are half the battle, I think the other half is the curation, which is a little more abstract, but possibly machine-learnable to some degree?

PayPay is a joint venture of Softbank and Yahoo Japan created in June 2018. It is another cashless payment system. But what seems different is they've launched with a very aggressive marketing campaign in Japan.

Total budget for the campaign is 100億円 (億 = 10^8 / ~90m USD). They are giving ¥500 (~$5) to signup. Then 20% of the value of purchasers back in points. Then for customers of some Softbank/Yahoo services they are offering 1 in 10 chance of 100% points back. That effectively gives you an expected points of 30%.

A lot of the major stores are accepting PayPay and the store's own points campaigns are still valid.

Lots of consumers seem pretty excited https://placeuveneverbeen.co/paypay-macbook/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rUKsTwg716M https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5mC26FFNb_Y

It seems like a good way for Softbank to burn a lot of cash and spend a high price on customer acquisition. I am not sure how sticky people will be to the service once campaign ends.
