The whole point of currency is that it doesn't have to have value at all. You use it for goods and services. Money doesn't have value, it's just a piece of paper, bitcoin is just bunch of bytes in a linux server. This is also why people used use gold as currency; it's not that gold is a very practically valuable metal (say, unlike iron) but it was the currency mostly because it wasn't too common, but also not rare enough to make it impractical to use for goods and services.

More a case of UK politicians not doing their job.

What do I expect them to do? Act solely in the interests of their pay packet and party. What should they do? Act in the interests of the nation. That was once supposed to be the point.

They could have sought concessions or adjustments from the EU as precursor to a second referendum. The few times another EU nation has rejected a treaty or some aspect of the Union there's been something of a renegotiation and a second referendum.

Since the ridiculous Fixed Parliaments Act there needs to be a super-majority to call a UK election early. Why not with a referendum for a change of such consequence?

Were the EU not such a divisive issue, for the whole 40 years of our EU membership, within the Tory party, they might have approached the issue with a little more honesty. It could all have SO easily been avoided.
From experience, I think you're right with this advice. A ridiculous amount of doors open up if you go to a decent school - he'll get there and be pulled into internships...try a few things...and have lots of options for semi-interesting stuff on his way out.

The worst thing you can do is stay in a mediocre home town and fall into a mediocre job...he will end up depressed if he doesn't get out.
What do you think of the upcoming $300 billion tax cut which they recently announced and increasing their European-level R&D spending (see my other comment) further?

> The EU council could have offered some reasonable concessions in order to remain, both before and after the referendum, but nada.

The essential problem with the Brexit movement is that it's based not on what the EU is but on the distorted view on what the EU is. When you start tackling the specific complaints that people had, it often turns out that it was the British government who had the power to alter the policies, not the EU. (For example, Britain deciding to let in Polish migrant workers after Poland joined the EU in 2004, unlike every other major country in the EU). The EU even conceded that Britain had a perpetual right to opt out of "ever-closer union."

So what could the EU have conceded that would have convinced the die-hard Brexiteers to opt for Remain?

For xmas i got my grandfather a google home hub purely to serve as a digital picture frame so I can send him pics of my family easily.

Talked to my dad today, it's been unplugged because my granddad is worried that satellites are taking his picture and showing it to him, and he doesn't dare use any voice commands.

Turns out it was a poor gift. I wonder what kind of creepy shit my kids' kids will try to pawn off on me.
Cities all over Europe have restricted or banned short rentals and many more are considering it.
It will be messy and probably the results difficult to measure.
On the other end Airbnb is collecting tourist taxes on behalf of some cities.
This is particularly interesting because you have a corporation helping a city in something they struggle with (collecting taxes) and making themselves irrepleaceable.
Smart move.
I see an ad, I pirate instead. That simple.

I recently wanted to view a few back episodes of some random TV show, to see if I would be interested in it. I found the back episodes on Hulu. After about 5 minutes of the first, the screen went to commercial and said something like "1 of 8".

No, I'm not going to sit thru 8 commercials in a row. So I just exited and totally forgot about that show.

I.e. it's not just pirating as an alternative. Many people simply say "fuck it, I have other things I can be doing".

As a TypeScript Jest consumer can't complain, though @types/jest is pretty good.

I would be much more excited if they opened up Jest to be more "programmable" though. Dynamically creating tests and etc(before you ask, I was looking into wrapping an existing bash test framework in Jest). Perhaps the move to TS will make more of the internal interfaces feel public?

Given the post's lack of detail relating to the experience of creating the game itself, I fear OP is treating his craft as a means to an end; instead of loving his craft for what it is. I fell into a similar trap when, after leaving my job to pursue my "passion," I became my own slavemaster, treating myself as resource for production, and eventually learned to hate my once cherished activities. I hope OP's game succeeds; regardless, I would not recommend, to anyone, to pursue a personal hobby, dwelling, or passion as a means to reaching some external reward.

This is a great discovery and opens up a good research area for experimentation. Coming from a math/computer background this result doesn't seem so surprising. Sometimes we can get complex results with very simple rules like cellular automata. It's the opposite result to having many genes change randomly with little resulting change in behaviour. Both can happen. We have yet to know if this was just by chance or if their was a more efficient mechanism in play.

Hi Sam! Can you please interact a little more with the HN community? I realize you are an extremely busy man, but drop in here once in a while and just...comment. Not to stir up a hornet's nest, but weighing in on YC related news once in a while is not a bad idea.
Eg- No doubt you and YC are well intentioned people and the YC china move, while controversial, is probably a reasonable move. A private company can only do so much when dealing with powerful nations, and as long as you are not directly aiding governments do all the controversial things you hear about in the news, that's about as good as you can do.
What was disappointing for me was this: YC is starting to feel just like any other big company, staying silent on controversial topics and not responding to criticism. I'm starting to feel like there's a disconnect between the community and the company. This makes me sad since YC was pretty much the opposite of what big companies stand for.
My advice : be open, respond to criticism, don't stay silent on touchy topics, encourage YC staff to share their opinions on controversial topics. It's ok if your own staff don't agree with you, it's ok to agree to disagree. In short : don't become just another big company.
Please note that this comment was made in good faith and please remain respectful in the comments.
Which is what's sad. The Supra is a cheaper, uglier, 50HP slower Z4 with no convertible top. The only thing it's got going for it, according to side-by-side reviews, is the Supra "feels smoother" and it's cheaper. For $50k, if everything else about it is boring, I at least want it to knock me into my seat.

If I got a Toyota sports car today, it would be the 86 with an aftermarket turbo or supercharger. With 100hp boost, it would reach about a 1:8.8 power to weight ratio, compared to the Supra's about 1:10. Cost: about $30K.

(Reading the recent reporting that Netflix software engineers average 300K a year hasn't really helped my attitude, either. So, THAT's what I'm paying for... (?) )

Business media has been saying that Netflix's content acquisition costs are or shortly will be in the neighborhood of $10 billion per year. You're paying a lot more for the content than for the software engineers.
It’s interesting how many people fetishize the supra as a huge tuner car... and most car pundits I’ve seen have been saying this will be too. The thing costs just about as much as a BMW 340i - even in the “wink wink probably swap this” 4 cylinder configuration coming later it just seems too expensive for “regular” people to mess with like the mk4s, which only got popular after fast & furious came out.

Why not just track downloads from the mirrors? If you post a new version of package for fedora 29, just track how many downloads of that specific file are made. Write some scripts for log processing and require official mirrors to submit the logs to give you the package counts.

That way user info never makes it past the mirror (which has their IP anyways) and you don't need anything complex like UUIDs, playing tricks with NTP, or calling home.

This would give a reasonably accurate number. Use bash for measuring linux installs (pretty rare to have linux installed without bash). Then more desktop apps like firefox, eog, and xpdf to measure desktop use. If interested in server side track mongodb, apache, mysql, and similar.

This would also help fedora decide which applications they should pay more attention to.

So total power, basically, but limited by custom and decorum. If Parliament says that the majority vote on a referendum with decide what they will do, then that can be the way it is.

I wasn't even aware DDG had maps at all since they never once showed up for me. Probably because I am entering Japanese addresses, and their address parser isn't recognizing them as such.

I really worry if they're aware and/or are bothering to improve this.
I've programmed in Progress for about 4 years (2006-2010). The language itself is far from awful. It's actually a well thought and easy to learn language. Everything not obvious in it is well documented.

What I didn't like about it was its very proprietary nature: closed source, its lack of libraries (no json parsing library back then IIRC), you'd have to pay even for its VM.

TBH, I found it more difficult to master Perl than Progress, but the effort was worth it.

Very puzzling styling--like a more swoopy 370Z with some Z4/M-coupe haunches and ugly modern BMW interior. Which is a strange way to go, after the iconic smooth lines, workmanlike cockpit, and basket handle spoiler of the Mk4.

I think Toyota and BMW are nuts to think this model will draw any 718 Cayman buyers. Who is seriously going to pass on the Porsche PDK (or manual transmission) and mid-rear engine for a front engine and torque converter?

It's nice that Toyota is trying, yet baffling that they came up with some sort of "German fixed-roof autobox Miata" to do it.

It’s not a Supra. It’s not even a Toyota. It’s an ok BMW. Nothing that makes the Supra appealing or especially elevated it to legendary car culture status is true of this new “Supra”. It’s extremely disappointing and a slap in the face to any fan of true Toyota sports cars.

Akio Toyoda claims to be a “car guy” but after the massive disappointment of the FR-S and Scion in general it is clear he’s entirely clueless.

Toyota is a disappointing shell of itself, this car is another example in a long line of soulless non-Toyota letdowns.
"Some things I prefer to do in private." - Warren Buffet on DCF valuation.
My (newly substantiated) reason for choosing a hotel room:
- Security

Just stayed in an AirBnb that was broken-into during our stay. Window smashed, laptops stolen when we were gone for a couple hours.

It feels like we were watched when we arrived, were observed to leave, and then robbed.

We were shaken and ran-off to a hotel.

Really appreciated the hotel staff, secured elevator, anonymity of it all (lots of undifferentiated rooms in a long hallway), deadbolt, additional locks.

At this moment, feeling like I'll never stay at an airbnb again.
We don't really know the conditions in which humanity would go extinct instead of just regressing to a mad max style remnant subsisting on edge of starvation. (Well, minus the cars obviously) Certainly the arrival of a jurassic style climate and quick disappearance of preconditions of agriculture, combined with quick extinction of human-huntable animals, cutting down forests for firewood, mixed in with wars (nuclear holocaust?) might trigger a very long period of civilization collapse. Why is not extinction a possibility?

comps on ratios at best gives you first-order approximations of valuation, and the assumptions underlying the comp is both fixed snd hidden. DCF is more explicit about its assumptions and you can change as well as bound those assumptions with new information.

sure, it’s more unsettling to have a range than a single number but a range is as close to reality as we’re likely to get with any valuation (unless it’s a well-established company in a stable industry, where DCF can provide a tight answer).

The Mk3/Mk4 Supra was the beneficiary of Japan's golden age--and solid overengineering--in the 1990s. Stout iron block, strong transmission, not too many electrical doodads. Sort of like 1980s German cars, before the Germans got carried away with fussy sensors and featureitis. It seems a little unlikely that either nation is poised to have a good run like that anytime soon.

If you know it's a target when you are in architecture, much easier to design it in a way that will pass the tests.

Not saying that it's always perfect, but generally speaking having tests is better than not. Just key to have the tests early and often, so you can fix issues before they get baked in throughout a complex system.

> Both the current Greek and the current Italian government made promises of leaving the EU

It's quite late for that, since unlike the Brits they also joined the EMU and thus ceded sovereignity to the EU. This is exactly what Margaret Tatcher warned against: a federal Europe by the back door. Also, organizing a referendum on the topic of exiting from the Eurozone is a violation of EU treaties.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_withdrawal_from_the_eu...

Other EU exits could be less disastrous if coordinated. For instance if Greece and Italy would leave at the same time and negotiate together. For this they would first need to form an aliance like the Visegrad group. Regardless, everyone would have to suffer in such an event due to lack of credibility in the EU project, lack of confidence in national currencies and the Euro.

This is usually why the socialists and other marxists stay quiet about their beliefs in discussions like this while they heap criticism on criticism.
