It absolutely could, but then you're giving ownership to whoever manages that authentication service. Since the creation of your username is what creates your key pair, you own your encryption keys. And since your username is anchored to the bitcoin blockchain, there is no central authority that can say "you no longer have access to this account."

Logging in with Google or Facebook or any other third party service is probably the biggest problem with traditional apps. Perhaps more so than them storing your data. Sure, they can (and have sold user data), but if these providers are the owners of your digital identity, they also control whether or not you have access.

I own one of these. It was built in 1935 and unlike Sears, it has a good chance of surviving another century because it’s made of solid brick. It’s a Craftsman-style Bungalow that apparently was build extra wide (or at least wider than other homes in our neighborhood), so the upper bedrooms are more spacious than it might appear from the outside.

As a self-taught engineer you have to convince them of that, which mostly means a solid portfolio, but there is insane demand.

This just isn’t true.

The industry has become insanely competitive for anyone but the top level seniors who are above the whiteboard/coderpad interview. I’ve been on the market for 4 months now without so much as an in-person interview. It’s absolutely brutal. And that’s with 3 years experience + solid references.

I would spin culture the other way too. Sears was a more premium company. They had commission salesmen working the floors. (I think it was as recently as like 2010ish, I walked in to one and looked too long at something was was swarmed) You didn't go there for the "lowest price" you went there for good stuff and when you bought something big they helped you figure it out, they'd show you a dozen fridges, maybe with features you'd never seen before, and by the end of the day try to talk you in to a stove and dishwasher to go with the one you landed on and then have someone bring it over, install it and take your old stuff away. They had house brands: Craftsman, Diehard, Kenmore that were legit and made legit stuff; it wasn't the highest end stuff but it wasn't just the cheapest stuff they could label. I don't think it was possible for them to compete for low margins like Walmart or Amazon, it just wasn't "Sears." Prodigy was expensive, the few things you could order there had extra costs associated with it, I don't fully remember but I think you had to actually pay a premium for the experience to order it on prodigy and then you paid shipping costs and everything. It's not simply just buying and selling stuff online and it shows up, price matters and people buy big stuff differently than they did 40 years ago, they know way more about it before they go to the store now because of the internet.

I'm sure there will be plenty of books about it all when it's said and done and I'm sure there is a list of mistakes that is unimaginably long. I doubt Sears could have been saved though, it wouldn't have been "Sears" any more.

It is odd, at least to me, Sears is this nostalgia thing. Looking at the catalog as a child, playing with Prodigy way way back when. I've read maybe a dozen articles on the place here on HN over the last decade. I haven't been in one in nearly as long. I think I've known they were totally doomed for as long but in some part of my brain it was impossible for it to unfold exactly as it has. It's just been a train wreck in ultra-slow-motion. They seemed to have had so many resources they could have used to try things, they just couldn't actually try them.

Ask HN: Prototyping a tablet-like device
I've been interested in hardware development for a long time now, I never gave it a serious try because it seemed like a very difficult field to get into.

I have finally decided to give it a shot and start out small. I want to prototype a "simple" tablet-like device by purchasing a ~15" touch panel and hooking it up to a Raspberry Pi, but even this has been putting up a lot of roadblocks for me.

I've been able to find what seems to be a good place to find LCD screens (panelook.com) and I was able to learn that I need an LCD and controller board combo for my prototype. But finding a combo that supports the LCD and the touch screen functionality seems impossible.

Does anyone have tips how to approach something like this? Any great forums/websites with a community that is happy to answer questions?

I have a pessimistic view of all this. If you are able to get into a college program easily, the job market will be shit once you get out. If the job market would be great, you'll never get into a program.

Colleges have stupid games based on a point system to get in. The games are HEAVILY biased towards people just out of high school. You only get points for shit like having taken classes at the school before or your parents being alumni. Having real world working experience doesn't give you any points.

My wife was thinking about going to nursing school. In order for her to do that she would need to quit her job take random classes for the _chance_ to eventually get into a program. We're ready to pay cash for the program which she would certainly succeed in, but there is just no chance. Was a real bummer once we realized this.

I guess this all makes sense, just frustrating.

I really like Lisp and its macros and I don't even mind the sea of parentheses. But I do think requiring everything to be done in prefix notation is a weakness. This is an argument I have seen -- it may not be the one you are trying to make, but your statement reminded me of it:

"No programming language is more or less natural than Lisp. It is merely a matter of familiarity and the way most programmers were taught."

One obvious problem is that familiarity does matter. Even ignoring all other programming languages, there is a barrier to climb for the vast numbers of beginner programmers who know English and common math notation like f(x) instead of (f x) and x < y instead of (< x y). I've also seen (- x y) be confusing as one incorrect way to read it as English in your head is "subtract x from y".

The other is that for some things, it really does seem like infix notation is inherently preferred by humans. Is there a natural language where conjunctions don't go between terms, i.e. one says "und x y z" instead of "x und y und z"?
I’ll agree it can get boring at times, but it was incredibly creative and a lot of the descriptions of the world in the book are unlike any other I’ve read about and were quite poetic, while at the same time mathematic and scientific.

What do you mean by "subject to the halting problem"? There are plenty of Turing machines that can be proven to halt.

The halting problem doesn't say "given any Turing machine, no algorithm can determine whether it halts". It says "no algorithm can determine whether any given Turing machine halts".

Counterpoints (if in the US):

Capitalism is a real thing. If you work in a hospital you will be pushed to the point where things are unsafe for the patient, and if something goes wrong, you will be blamed and lose your license. A culture exists where everyone tries to cover their ass.

If you work as a contractor (i.e. you work for a firm that sends you to different hospitals based on shortages), you will be the first person to be blamed.

Unlike in tech, seniority is the main way to get better salaries and benefits. You won't get too far by performing really well.

The attitudes and behavior of fellow coworkers (nurses and nurse assistants) would be considered quite unprofessional in a typical engineering workplace.

Depending on which unit you work, patients can be horrible. You'll get all kinds of attitudes. Psychopaths, etc.

If you stick to it, expect long term injuries:

https://www.npr.org/series/385540559/injured-nurses

"James Collins, a research manager in the NIOSH Division of Safety Research, says before studying back injuries among nursing employees, he focused on auto factory workers. His subjects were "93 percent men, heavily tattooed, macho workforce, Harley-Davidson rider type guys," he says. "And they were prohibited from lifting over 35 pounds through the course of their work."

Nursing employees in a typical hospital lift far heavier patients a dozen or more times every day.

"That was my biggest shock and surprise," Collins says. "And the big deal is, the injuries are so severe that for many people, they're career-ending.""

(Experience will vary with what type of nursing you work - some nursing is a lot milder - but pays less).

Sign me up for the Morlock team, and let me know when the Eloi roast is done.~

The argument against this has nothing to do with Eloi thoughts and feelings, and everything to do with their ability to invade the Morlock tunnels and wipe them all out, as a matter of survival. That is, it doesn't matter if the Eloi object, if they lack the means to enforce their objections. Eloi thoughts do not carry any weight in Morlock arguments.

Besides that, feeding themselves to humans by the billions as captive domesticated prey species may be the only shot those species have at reaching other planets.

> All machine learning algorithms can be implemented on a Turing machine, so they all are subject to the halting problem.

Assumption that all learning algorithms can be implemented on a Turing machine cannot hold true, since there are mathematical problems that cannot (take for example https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hilbert%27s_tenth_problem). Unless you categorise machine learning problems as problems that can be implemented with a Turing machine, making the statement a tautology.

Edit: thinking about my comment maybe I am the one being tautologic. If there is a learning algorithm that can solve Hilbert's problem it would transcend mathematics
> It is cheaper, which actually suggests less resource consumption.

Cheaper so long as you ignore the externalities of long-term use of disposable plastic. Using a little piece of harmlessly biodegradable waxed paper instead might be "more expensive" in strict manufacturing terms but would the cheaper option if the externalities of plastic were properly taxed.
Do they really have to be so paranoid about drones?
That's more impressive, and yet, as a non-expert, I still don't know how to evaluate whether the calculation is bug-free. Do you? I guess I'd have to track down all the references and build my own spreadsheet? There are some spreadsheets listed in the references, but it seems like a complicated task.

Just to nit-pick one little detail, it seems to treat all land the same: "Significant decreases in land occupation also follow from a shift away from animal-based foodstuffs. The VEG and VGN occupy 70% and 79% less land than the MUD, respectively (VEG = -63% and VGN = -74% for isocaloric diet comparison)."

But, prime farmland and grazing for grass-fed beef aren't the same, so adding them up and taking a percentage seems dubious. (I'm also skeptical of estimates with no margin of error.)

Given that no single scientific paper is definitive (you need to read the literature) I don't see how to come to a conclusion on any of this without a whole lot more work than I'm going to put into it for an online discussion.

> Because EMX is a new model in machine learning, we do not yet know its usefulness for developing real-world algorithms. So these results might not turn out to have practical importance.

In other words, "Machine Learning" here is a buzzword, without which the paper would probably get less attention.

I believe you have a clean, readable syntax for C declarations.

The Go Programming Language's declaration syntax is very similiar, except that "star" is retained and acts just as your "&"

I don't have a complete list, but have been looking at classifying programming languages into one of 2 categories:

Category 1 declaration syntax:
Type identifier ;

or

Category 2 declaration syntax:
identifier Type ;
with perhaps a colon or other punctuation between the identifier and Type.

The problem is that once people are told there is a drone they will look for one, and some of them will see drones that aren't there. This could easily be triggered by one genuine drone sighting.

It might be better if people aren't told about the drone in the first place. Of course they will demand to know why their flights are delayed, but they might be better off if the hysteria is prevented while the authorities go look for the drone.
