A lot of people are saying that crypto is a scam because there are malicious actors in the industry.

Perish the thought. It doesn't even take any malicious actors to be a scam. It's a new kind of scam: a Nakamoto Scheme.

To your https://prestonbyrne.com/2017/12/08/bitcoin_ponzi/

> victim factories, which in the next crash will produce hundreds of thousands of howling investors with little formal legal recourse due to four years of inaction on the regulators’ part.

How did we get here? As https://davidgerard.co.uk/blockchain/2018/04/05/debunking-bu... points out:

>
It’s been nine years. Nobody has a practical use case for blockchains proper.

It's now closer to ten. Same article:

> Git gives you pretty much everything offered by the business case for blockchains. The one thing it doesn’t do is add a ridiculously wasteful proof-of-work mechanism for who’s allowed to add transactions to the 
blockchain
 repository

Now, this leads to your second statement:

>
Don't let these small bumps distract from the greater picture and all the amazing work the developers at Ethereum, Bitcoin etc are doing.

Which is what?

This ties back to it being a scam: without a practical use case, it lacks any intrinsic value and the only reason people temporarily paid a lot for it were downright scams (Tether), hodl zealots, other hype. It won't take a few more years and it'll settle on its true value which is zero.

ps. The Washington Post already in 2015 summarized this madness:

> So the Bitcoin faithful have tried to not only convert people, but also convince them to martyr themselves, financially-speaking, for the crypto cause. It goes something like this. - Hey, do you want to hear about the future? It's a digital currency called Bitcoin that lets you spend or move your money online without paying any fees. - Sounds great. How does it do that? - Well, Bitcoin saves you money by making transactions irreversible. - So ... if I get scammed, I got scammed? There's nothing I can do about it? - Yes. - Okay, but is it at least easy to use? - The thing is, I don't actually use it. I just hoard it. I'm waiting for some greater fools to push up the price by using theirs. - Oh. - Yeah. So you should buy some Bitcoins and use yours. - I'll get back to you on that.

Of course, you could call all these "Bitcoin faithful" malicious actors if you so want...
As I said, yoy can use any JS function with Elm. It’s just through ports, not inline.
Why did she refuse to participate ?
I think this outlines the core issues more than most of the responses thus far.

Our system of governance hasn't scaled as effectively in distributing democratic decision making as many may wish, and the interconnectivity we're developing is making it more pronounced.
I think younger engineers' morality towards the military distinguishes between technology for great-power warfare, and technology for bombing weddings in Yemen. Aside from some real outliers, nobody of any age wants to lose a war with China. However, it's the "wars of choice" that are problematic.

This is a point that certainly needs to be raised more often. Thanks for making me aware of it.
> [at Google] we also employ many people in the US from other countries. Obviously those people may have very different feelings about working on a project for US national security. I don't think I've been on a single team at Google which did not have people from abroad.

I honestly think the US military would have more problems with having foreign nationals working on a military project than many of the foreign nationals themselves. I think it's difficult to get a security clearance if you're not a citizen, and it may even be hard if you're a dual citizen.

I would think that naturalized US citizens would have the same interest in US national security as native-born Americans. It's a little racist to suggest that they don't, and it would be a little disingenuous for them not to.
I was the born in the 80's, oldest brother of three siblings, mother died when I was 7 and my father didn't remarry until after college. tenecious_tuna's comment sounds very familiar. I wouldn't put too much stock in the "man of the house" phrasing in this case. I'm not so sure it's a male/female distinction, I just felt like I had a different set of worries and responsibilities than my peers growing up. To be fair, it wasn't just me as the oldest. I think my brother and sister shouldered many of the same worries that I did; I was just a few years older than them so I had the older brother experience and the single-parent experience at the same time.
No - An articulating cordless drill can't carry out a "complex series of actions" and it can't do anything automatically.

Crypt has too many opportunists. It really is tragic because the technology is interesting. I do not see it the problem being fixed.
I’m not attacking your decision to use a security camera and I understand the trade offs you made.

I’m simply asking if it would be possible to sell a product that has feature party with Ring but doesn’t use the cloud.

Before Ring setting up a home security system was also something only message board nerds would do. Why can’t the same be done for a local server?

I believe Microsoft actually marketed a home server back around the turn of the century. That didn’t go anywhere but they had a lot of ideas that were either ahead of their time or good but poorly executed. The original surface comes to mind. Or what weird kitchen computer that is basically an Echo with a screen.
I agree it's good to have someone else looking after your device for you.

But Samsung's flavour of Android is not that. You have to pay extra attention because you can't trust it not to trick you into something you don't want — “agreeing” to adverts or sending personal data. You're constantly batting away flies. It's user-hostile, not user-friendly.

This is why I prefer Fedora to Windows: the intent of the person managing my device for me is to make a useful tool (not to enhance my experience in association with select commercial partners), and this aligns with my goals.

Peace of mind is precisely why well-maintained free software is more user-friendly than consumer shovelware.

(My job involves testing a website. This week I used a Samsung Galaxy S5. Peel Remote™ has to be an extremely elaborate parody… right?)

Only a small number of instructions in Go assembly are architecture neutral.

avo currently implements the x86 subset of Go assembler. It's definitely possible to add support for additional architectures, but it may be a fairly significant project.
Flux.jl does look terrific. Frankly, part of my interest in this little Swift research project was to pick something that's not at all well explored, and try to dig in to it.

Julia is much more mature for machine learning than Swift at this point. So it would be a better choice if you want something that's at least somewhat ready for use now - but I was really wanting to get in on the ground floor on something that's just getting started.
From the perspective of inferential statistics, the nature of the null hypothesis is that it is assumed to be true and only through sufficient testing, the null hypothesis can be rejected in favor of the alternative hypothesis.
As I've mentioned above, child porn is NOT a strict liability crime. The prosecutor will definitely need to prove you knew or should have known it was child porn.
That's a reason to be opposed to Ring. Hell, it's a reason to be opposed to surveillance cameras in general. What it is not, is an argument about the ease of installing your own DVR set up.
You can buy things that are illegal in your jurisdiction.

Remember that the point if cryptocurrency is to enable finance in the absence of good government. It's useless if you like your government.

When this happens, does the magnetism "rotate" around the Earth, or does it fade out and fade back in reversed?
"the worst effects of the famine were directed against enemies of the regime."

Yes that would indicate that the worst effects determined politically. That doesn't mean Mao created a famine, the thing that killed tens of millions of people, to punish those citizens that had the wrong politics and ideas like the claim said

> One of them killed tens of millions (!) of their own citizens for having the wrong politics and ideas[0]

For all your moralizing and posturing, you're have been amazing deceitful in your intellectual dishonesty. Stop bringing up points that distort the actual points being argued as if I can't tell that's what you're doing.
Ask HN: Managing and backing up Macs on a Windows network
I have a few Macs to look after at work and I am not really happy with the backup solution. We have Veeam backing up the Windows servers. Windows clients have their home directory redirected to a server where they are backed up.

Since I can't set a group policy to redirect a mac folder I could revert to using Time Machine to a NAS or Mac server. What is everyone else doing on a mixed network?
if I can charge different people different amounts for the same service, then I can maximize my circulation at the same time as maximizing my profit per person.
I'll admit to not having used Rails, but I was under the impression that Rails itself was a DSL.
No, I don't know what you mean.

You've used an example similar to a continuation, what is explicitly about flow control. Unless you are suggesting appropriating flow control into data (because you will need an interpreter) means that everything is "state".

I don't think that 'buttonClicked' value will make into the page state of an Elm program.
> Someone born in 1990 needs to have a 4yr degree in something lucrative (STEM) and even then buying a house and starting a family is not a given. To succeed you need to have figured out your strategic plan by about age 15 and then execute on it in order to have the same life that someone born in 1930 could just happen into without much thought.

This is not remotely true, but I grant that it's the currently popular narrative.

Good you mentiond this. I never saw this button. I thought 'gg' is sufficient...
Neat.

What have you released on your own damn engines and where can I clone them?
Do you have a close-to-perfect implementation, perchance?

Any logging implementation I have ever seen is full of tradeoffs along all sorts of axes. At some point something has to give.

Examples: Your log cannot accept more messages (maybe it's a local disk), what do you do? Do you store it in memory? Do you throw it away and record that you threw messages away? What happens if the machine dies before you can record the failures? Are there some log messages that are important enough to actually halt the application? etc. etc.

EDIT: ... and let's not even get into remote logging.

It's actually a really complicated problem and not enough people appreciate that.

Instead of looking into CBT, you may try looking for therapists who utilize Solution Focused Therapy. I found one who approached things that way and found it to be tremendously helpful. She approached things initially from a very standard inventory of my family history, personal values, etc. and then tended to let me direct my counseling until I realized I had reached a point that I was ready to stop my regular sessions. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to send me a PM.

Tom Sweeney, Epic's CEO tweeted about this saying no:

Not only that but he points out that they intentionally made Unreal Engine's TOS "perpetual" specifically so they can't change it to do something like Unity has done here.

On top of that, Unreal Engine sourcecode is available to all Engine users on Github unlike Unity.
seconded.

2 Belgian Malinois trained in French Ring which is the French equivalent of "Schutzhund" (minus the tracking). 3 years old they won't take food from strangers and are stable and confident as fuck. They once pinned a junkie into a corner of the garden which jumped the fence to burgle us while we were out. He was stuck for several hours (until the neighbors called us to inform us that "they're barking an awful lot today". The guy wasn't harmed but neither did he dare to move. :D

Though the reason we got these boys was because our border collie was getting really old and let 2 guys jump the fence and grab everything from the terrace while we were having a BBQ in the back yard (head-desk). We only found out because they grinned and waved to my daughter who was going to the front entrance to grab some stuff from the kitchen. Also she (the dog) wasn't trained like the Mals.
To be honest, I think the most likely outcome of the cold-war was nuclear annihilation. There were a bunch of times when the trigger was nearly pulled on that one, where world leaders were engaged in brinksmanship, drunk at the switch, where electronic systems failed, where bombs got dropped out of planes by accident, or, in one case, where a general went rogue and decided he wanted to nuke China.
It's the boomers. Especially the ultra-rich boomers.

A generation that has bankrupted the nation, destroyed its foundations, disenfranchised entire following generations, vastly inflated the relative cost of housing, education, and healthcare and leaving a massive debt.
Yes it is specifically the part of their stack that one distributes to customers. It's like if the Java runtime or the DirectX runtime wasn't distributable to cloud machines.

Unity had a pretty clear model as providing a software stack that one pays for using, primarily containing a bunch of proprietary tools for creating applications for their runtime. And then one could package that runtime and their application and give it to whoever one wanted (as long as they followed the revenue share part of the contract).

So yes it's part of the stack. but it's the part of the stack that people are meant to redistribute with their game.
Sort of like how you might think electricity has a mind of its own, which it doesn't, even though it's still a real phenomenon? Gotcha.

Yes they are.
I only said that the motivation always was national self interest not benevolence.

I think that exhausted my tolerance for further discussion with you.
Discerning whether a story is fake or not is a cognitive task. Many people over the age of 65 are in some stage of cognitive decline. It should not be surprising to anyone that they would score more poorly than young adults.

There's no public interest in prosecuting a 15 year old who willingly sends an image of themself to another 15 year old.

It's a fucking stupid thing for them to do, but criminal justice system isn't the solution for that.
Apparently you have read all the same references as I: without his maternal network, it is quite unlikely that Gates would have ever been in the position to suggest Kildall. Or to later not suggest Paterson as replacement, but instead resell him/his work for the markup that made Microsoft.

Even if that network wasn't actively involved at all (e.g. by notifying Bill of the opportunity to supply BASIC, I think it is highly unlikely that it want involved at least that amount), the buyers at IBM would definitely have been aware of his family ties and unconsciously or not have awarded more default trust than to a random stranger. It is also not unlikely that Microsoft was given a chance in hope of currying favors with a certain person high in their own org chart or in fear of negative repercussions. Both the hoping/fearing and the favors/repercussions don't even have to happen voluntarily or consciously, it's hard enough to suppress those effects when you become aware of them and don't want to be that kind of person.
Ask HN: Great task/dependency tracking tools for small teams?
Curious what tools for managing small projects folks like.

Most important to me are:
- Includes task management, or integrates with others
- Gantt chart type visualization of dependencies, timelines
- Simple to use
- Cheap

Would preferably integrate with Slack too.
In C++ thanks to complex the implementation is short see https://ideone.com/tbHUN7
I think that nihilism is only useful in a fairly narrow set of circumstances, namely the otherwise healthy and succesful young to middle aged person suffering from ennui.

I spend a lot of time with people that are dying (for work, not for fun). I can tell you that nihilism is cold comfort for them.
The aggregation of these services are all understandable, because every one of them is about running a service. They might be triggered by different events (timer, network connection, at boot, manually), but other than that they are all doing pretty much the same thing: setting up and running a service.

It isn't building in an NTP client, or a hostname resolver, or configuring your network, or taking over the system logging, or generating QR codes. It has a singular focus and design which makes conceptual sense. It's not a dumping ground for a disparate collection of poor quality alternatives to existing tools.
Almost everything about the war on terror I think we'd be better off not doing. I supported going into Afghanistan, but nation building/occupation was a non-starter. We started (CIA pushed the Arab Spring) the civil war in Syria, which has already cost a half a million lives and likely will scale over a million. So that was a terrible idea. We're still selling weapons to Saudi Arabia so they can genocide Yemen, where there's now open air slave markets.

It's really hard to name a single good thing to come out of the war on terror.
the deterrent is the racket they make (no matter their size). At least that puts off the non in advance planned robberies (where we lived there was a big divide between rich/poor so it was mostly junkies trying to enter holiday homes)
Well, in this context it doesn't mean "the best", it's more of a honorable title for highly skilled craftsman - something achievable with a lot of practice and hard work and love for that job. And while you're totally right, and it's totally fine to be a part of mediocrity (like most of us are), people usually don't quit their well-paid jobs and change carriers completely in hope to be crappy at something else...
If you phrased your colossally stupid argument in terms of ISP's....

Are you saying that Comcast, a company that has a monopoly on internet access, has zero incentive to work on increasing bandwidth speeds and lowering prices for end users?

You see how wrong and colossally stupid your argument is, saying that corporations with essentially a monopoly, without incentive, will just happily increase the quality of their product?

Your argument is so wrong and colossally stupid that I feel like Humanity as a whole, has taken a step back due to the ignorance that has happened here today.
It also supports C#/.net and Blueprints (their own node-based language).
Part of it is also how we teach history. US schools have a tendency to only focus on the wars in which we are clearly the "good guys" until you get to the post-WWII wars in which things become much more clouded morally. This gives off the impression that the US and its military have sort of lost our way in the last half century or so. The truth is that all war is generally bad and only our perception of it has changed. Look through the Wikipedia page of US conflicts and you will see a long history of wars in which our actions were morally questionable that we are never taught about in school. And even our "heroic wars" like WWII include plenty of war crimes at the hands of the US.
So it's not the way it must be, if the existing insane laws are repealed.
>congresspeople and bankers are sexually molesting children who are held captive in the basement of a pizzeria, then there's not much that changing a media source is gonna do for you.

Let's adjust that a little bit.

Movie producers are sexually molesting children and women, and the police are helping covering up and not investigating it, for decades.
I have a theory on this. Is it possible that rematch is a very "American" thing? On chess.com where player nationality is shown in the interface I've noticed (I think) disproportionate rematch requests from American players if they lose. I am pretty relaxed and tend to accept such requests, but I never ask for rematches myself. So game theory allows a closely matched player to always beat me in a match by simply continuing to request rematches while they are behind on the match score. This actually happens quite often (anecdata I know). Summarising my theory is that rematch requests are often a reflexive response to a loss, but more so in America than Europe. Furthermore lichess tends to be a more European site, chess.com more an American site. Hence more rematches on chess.com than lichess. Just a theory.
