Depends on what you see the point of life as.

I'd agree it would not be a luxurious life. Luxuries and comforts will be scarce, work will be extensive, and there will almost certainly be extremely high mortality rates relative to Earth. And I am willing to pay an extremely large price to be one of the first to go!

Because in exchange for all of this you get to experience things nobody else has ever experienced, or ever will be able to experience in the same way. You get to play a part in creating a society that will likely exist for so long as humanity itself continues to exist. You will also get to challenge yourself in ways - physically, mentally, and psychologically - that you'd never imagined possible. Perhaps the biggest benefit of all is that the selection bias is going to lead to one hell of an interesting group of people in this society. My wife is afflicted of the same apparent insanity as myself, so this sounds like a pretty great life from a different perspective.
Show HN: Pinterest-like curation and exploration platform for links
Hello everyone,

I’m one of the creators of Jouho, a content exploration platform.
The “Taste engine” used by Pinterest was a major inspiration behind building this platform.
Jouho can be viewed as a "Pinterest for links" that contain good content.

Search engines today are extremely good at serving links that:
- Have the right keywords
- Have good SEO
- Have a high number of quality backlinks

Jouho takes a different approach to search.
The links shown are knowledge pieces that contain good insights around a topic that a user searches for.
Similar to how Pinterest shows related topics, Jouho harnesses the power of a knowledge graph to show related topics allowing us to explore search queries in different contexts.
Also, links are ranked based on the topics explained in the content and the occurrence of related topics that are relevant to the the search query.

Jouho relies on users creating collections and bookmarking links into them to seed its search index.
Currently, there are over thousand links indexed across topics like Data Visualization, Design UI/UX and Frontend Development.
As more links are saved by users the graph and the search index will be remodelled periodically to incorporate the new topics and links.
We’re in beta stage right now, so I’d love some feedback if you can spare the time.
Thanks for trying it out.

Website: https://beta.jouho.in

PS: You can share your feedback at any time through the feedback chat widget embedded in the site.
That's not in fashion to think this year.
Pre-existing conditions is another market failure. Not being in a position to shop around when you need emergency treatment is another. And the cartel activity whereby hospitals charge one price to insurers and a different, much higher, price to individuals is one too.
None of those scenarios are viable in Sweden.
>cells are created in a sort of tree structure

I just realized this is why they’re called stem cells. Neat.
Even better! Now it's less of a joke idea. You still have a small shuttle transfer from geosync orbit to wherever the solar farm is (heliosync or a lagrange point to avoid earth shadow), but the delta-v for that is tiny.

However space elevators are still soft SF (still missing a material with enough tensile strength), whereas BFR cheap reusable launchers are hard SF, achievable with current known tech.
What's the problem, you just use them. If you need to reference component itself you can use & selector, works exactly like sass or less. If you want to reference another styled component you import it and ${Component} will reference autogenerated class. Also nobody stops you from writing nested css rules. You can also write cool media query helpers like this https://www.styled-components.com/docs/advanced#media-templa...
This is key. People will talk a big game and then make excuses why they can't pay. Make a version and sell it.
Except that title was too long by 30 chars. There's an 80 character limit on titles, if you didn't know.

"So if the title does not fit, you must edit it".
Interesting. Thanks. Perhaps the idea of particular vaping liquids causing popcorn lung is a myth too. Here's an article I've found that includes some references to research: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/vaping-causes-popcorn-lung...
Facebook's market valuation, active user count, and other normal metrics of success for them don't appear to have been negatively influenced in any meaningful way despite the crap they've been subject to for the past 2+ years. Regardless of if Facebook is overall "good" thing to have around, from the perspective of Facebook's shareholders Zuckerburg has been a great leader for the company.
It’s just a poetic expression I borrowed from somewhere (the original was in another language). The sibling commenter is right, ”ocean of air” is probably more commonly used in English.
Be very aware that most popular CSS-in-JS libraries (such as JSS) will completely break CSP (Content Security Policy). The default reaction is usually "Just allow unsafe-inline in your CSP header", but this is dangerous advise as it will disable CSP! I've even seen 'experts' advising to use webpack to set a static value as a CSP nonce during build-time...

If you want to use CSS-in-JS, you'll either have to use server-side rendering to inject CSP nonces in your index.htm [0], or set up a complex build system to extract the CSS from your JS so you can serve them as .css files.

Using server-side rendering to inject nonces into your single-page client side rendered webpage is such an ugly hack. I'd prefer the second solution but I have not been able to find a solution like that, nor do I have the time to dive into the webpack rabbit-hole to do so.

That is actually the original IBM PC XT layout from 1981:

Then in 1984 USA moved to their own layout with the PC AT:

But the rest of the world stayed with the original.
Yes. I'd be quite happy with that. I can generate value; the hard part is keeping that value safe. That is what crypto offers.
The domain likely has tradeshows, trade publications, bloggers/influencers, etc.
That monopoly on force works great against entities within your country, but it’s a lot less threatening for foreign entities.

Let’s say that Zukerberg tells the UK government to fuck off. There would surely be consequences against Facebook’s UK assets, and maybe employees. But that’s a small part of Facebook overall, and he may decide this is worth it. Direct consequences for him will be limited. He probably couldn’t travel to the UK anymore, but would anyone else extradite him for this sort of thing? Seems unlikely. And it’s not like the UK is going to send in the SAS to kidnap him in another country.
I like this thread "A parellel between LSA and pLSA" https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/40723/a-parellel-b... showing differences between PCA matrix factorization, some naive non-negative matrix factorization (with L2 cost function) and pLSA (log-loss cost function).

The later is a precursor to Latent Dirichlet Allocation, one of the key models for topic modeling.
> Attempts to side-step the law (however misguided the law is)

There are a lot of people in the world that live in places where the law is far more gone than "misguided." For these people, it's not a question of "whether" to side-step the law but "how." You may not care, but they do.
Why do you think his government stopped at "moderate"?
What machine learning means for software development (2018)
This articulates pretty well something that I've tried to express about how I feel about cryptocurrency before. I don't own any, even though I've worked on a distributed application based on Ethereum and love the concepts because I was worried that by owning any coins I would be less trustworthy as a true believer. On the other hand, without any, I'm worried that I may seem as if I don't really believe in it, as I haven't put my money where my mouth is.

Anyway, I would love cryptocurrency to succeed, and in an efficient manner (say we get all the problems worked out of proof of stake).
PUL might apply too.
100K+ civillians were killed in Iraq2 and the press stayed mostly silent about it while the government tried to fudge the numbers and avoid accounting them altogether. Nobody cares if it's not the anointed ones dying.
You are right and in case of drugs that indeed may be the only way, as they did with cigarettes which can only be sold in a plain dirt-colored pack with a standardized typesetting.

It may not work very well with news though: you cannot ban witness interviews, live reporting and other stuff which may get very colorful and emotional.
You can implement ARC that way and there is a Go library on GitHub that does, but that is not going to scale well. Normally you won't need to evict from the frequently-used list, and there is no need to maintain LRU order on that cache during access. One need only atomically update the access time of the entry and defer ordering until such a time as eviction is required. During an access only a read lock on that cache is needed. During eviction from frequently-used you need exclusive access to all four structures, but if you can arrange for that to be rare, you'll have uncontested read access to your hot items without the need to maintain the LRU property.
Critical thinking doesn't scale.

I can only apply critical thinking to my area of expertise, software development, and a few others I happen to have experience outside work. When I read stuff about unrelated matters like art, medicine, psychology, or politics, I only have some heuristics to detect obvious BS or bad actors, but they are very inaccurate because I'm not an expert.
Go use a duck typing system, many of the generic use case can be solved using interface elegantly..

For the rest... Yes, it is very ugly. But the standard generic does not fit very well with go type system, so....

Luckily, go is very simple. Even ugly bit are not hard to understand.
So basically it's a link aggregator with a different kind of incentive structure; unlike Steemit or Reddit. Users can tip each other in BTC and that BTC can be withdrawn via the Lightning Network. By allowing users to tip each other, the focus is more on creating content that people would like to tip. People who tip also earn Karma points which help in increasing the popularity of their posts & comments.
In my example, it's very precise that a template _is_ definitely a function. And conceptually I still think of it as function.

For your example I'd call it "squares" not because I don't hate it, but I don't think squares has something to do with "component"
Because Swedes are uniquely morally upstanding and non-judgemental?
Make a small prototype and show it to your boss, they now think it's fully working (Prototype/WIP/etc... means nothing to some people) and they start to show it around aaaand before you know it you are hosting a new company's website.
It depends on what you consider "side-step the law". If you encrypt your communication so no one can't read it, but the government didn't demand you not encrypt it.. are you side stepping the law? That's kind of what crypto is like buying regular stuff; you're protecting your money (it's value and your right to trade it as you see fit) even though no one is trying to take it at this particular moment.
> EA's quarterly results are down,

And yet they posted pre-tax profits of almost 1.5 billion dollars in 2018 (their highest profit numbers in the last 4 years). That's hardly the mark of a company that's ready to go under.

Growth is not the only measure of a companies health.
Banks are highly regulated and risk averse. They won’t transfer 100 USD to some country when it takes them more than some percentage of the transfer to do compliance for it. So the transfer is legal but banks can not do it compliant and efficient.

I know of Ukrainian developers being paid in ETH for that reason.

Adult cam models in some countries are another example.
You don't need to use different languages to decouple things. A common pattern in React is to decouple logic and style using presentational components and container components (there are lots of articles on it if you Google those two terms), and I find that split to be much more natural than trying to split up HTML, JS, and CSS (which often need to cooperate with each other). One good practice with CSS-in-JS is to only use CSS in presentational components.
Many of the worst Roman emperors were beloved by the public even as they were dismantling the Senate and packing it with their supporters.
You raise a good point. Cultural superstition is just the sort of thing that requires elaborations to the definition. It's much like the problem of demarcating science from pseudoscience.

Popper's attempted solution was to say that implicit in "brought to the attention of the senses" is a requirement that one's physical model generates falsifiable predictions of future observations. Thus astrology cannot be said to be part of a physicalist worldview, since horoscopes are so open to interpretation that they cannot be falsified.

That said, some notions of deities could be said to be physical, for example the proposition that there is a skygod who will make it rain if you say a certain prayer. This is not unphysical in this sense; it's just wrong. What would make it unphysical if you started moving the goalposts arbitrarily, for example "oh, it will cause rain next year instead" or "oh, you just weren't praying with true belief in your heart".
But muh decentralization! /s

In reality most of the exchanges and sites dealing with crypto were (and probably still are) built by absolute amateurs with no checks and balances on their apps from a security perspective. Its scary as hell that people trust those sites with their actual money.

Buffer your point to create a polygon then use ST_PointOnSurface (or equivalent) in any competent spatially-enabled DBMS to create a point guaranteed to intersect the bounding polygon. Trivial in SQLite, PostGIS, etc.
Not usable for certain operations perhaps. But useless? That seems a little extreme.
My favorite future use case is electronic cash with privacy.

There are many LEGAL activities that people do not want to show up in a central database. For example, think of many things related to love and relationships.

Why is it that whenever anyone posts anything about React, there's a horde of Vue users trying to convince us that they are doing it better? It feels a bit desperate.

The great thing about React is it is purely JS (or JSX, which is effectively a macro for the underlying JS). Which means it is explicit, and predictable. Perhaps that means there's less sugar, but any sugar and magic comes at a price.

I'm going to have a look at Vue more anyway, out of curiosity, though.

Edit: I note that some of the anger at React has been "Why does it need Redux/MobX if it is so good?". But Vue has Vuex to solve the same problem?
I don’t have a ton of direct insight into gaming, but in general when a business that’s dependent on development is facing headwinds and doubles down on hitting the numbers, that’s a bad sign. It’s often a signal that the firm is not investing in the business.

IMO, modern business models for gaming (ie casinos for elementary school kids) are problematic and are turning kids off. There will be a harsh reckoning as more and more people figure that out.

The lack of free shipping can also be a clue that this retailer sends $3 widgets via $20 FedEx, or this moderately large item will be $100 freight.

In other words, free shipping sellers work hard to find cheap shipping. Those that do not offer free shipping seem less inclined to do so.
I agree, but now it appears to apply to the Mac as well, at least to some degree.

That's what I find so concerning. There has to be some general purpose computing device that allows me to take full responsibility in terms of security and in terms of complying with the law.

Other platforms often tend to imitate Apple. So if this is the general direction of travel then I find that very worrying
Strange never heard about him before. Any book, documentary, movie recommendations about him or the era in general?
Right on. Also if you continue to build on top of technical debt, you are essentially taking risk and accruing interest in the form of everything that will require on going maintenance or could fail spectacularly depending on your ability to repay the debt.
There is intense competition between these battle royale games. Possibly more intense competition than we've ever seen. Being the 2nd WoW or top MOBA pales in comparison. Of the dozen BRs I've played (including mods for existing games), all but 3 already seem somewhat dead. PUBG, which was the leader for what seems like the longest duration, now seems like a distant third, and will likely never recover.
Imagine 3 parties: buyer, seller and third-party shipper. When the buyer has paid to a specific address, he will also email an irrefutable, digital proof of payment to the shipper, who will then ship the goods.

It is trivial to look up the signed transaction to the specific address in the digital currency's blockchain. Hence, the shipping company can handle that situation.

On the other hand, try to get an irrefutable digital proof of payment from a bank. For example, get them to email you anything to you, anything at all, that you can use as proof that you paid last month's rent. A bank cannot do that, not even to save themselves from drowning.
Just like clone of Facebook is instantly as valuable as Facebook?
I don't know if you've realized this, but HN is religiously against crypto and anything that rhymes with it. Like, irrationally mad.

If you want to explore the utility of crypto go check out different online communities that focus on that, some decent ones on reddit. The level of discussion on HN is usually "crypto baaad, centralized goood". As an economist I'm sure you expect more. Unless you want those ideas reinforced, keep the discussion here!
You are not allowed to eavesdrop in public
You can define a "theme" object, which you can inject into your styles (with an expression inside the template literal). Other libraries support variables more directly.

A few uses:

This will definitely change something in the market, as till today, if you wanted to work with graphs in visual way you had to buy an enterprise product or develop a custom solution.
Seeing posts like this remind me of a nice quotation I saw somewhere, which is like "all data will eventually be either public or gone forever". Unfortunately my search skills are insufficient to find the exact wording or author.
Very few tax havens have their own armed forces.

The UK Prime Minister could phone up the head of any British Overseas Territory today and invite them to reform their tax reporting or else a Tomahawk will be fired at their office.

I don't think the concern is about government funding of science.

I think the concern is about all science funding being funneled through the government.

O'Connor says science should be funded either by "the government or some kind of body held to very high standards of not being influenced by industry" -- as if the government isn't influenced!

Weatherall floats the idea of "taking the money [private organizations] would be spending and redirecting it [through taxes] to an organization that was selecting who was getting funded independently."

In my mind, government funding is at least as capricious as industry funding. Government budgets related to science research get slashed all the time for reasons totally unrelated to the quality of the work being performed or its potential impact on society.

So I think you can both be very strongly in favor of government funding of these national science projects (e.g. NASA) and yet very reluctant to have the government be the sole arbiter of what gets funded.

This is a great point. Deleting code that isn’t worth the investment is a good thing. One sign of a strong engineer imo is they’re okay with throwing away code.

There’s also some level of people skills involved here and convincing your stakeholders that it’s better to sunset a feature vs rewriting it.

Fwiw I did strawberry packing at a farm when I was a teen in the UK. This was the exact thing, M&S got the top "quality" selection, then the other supermarkets took the rest.

Only thing though was that the selection was purely visual, M&S wouldn't take any "uglies" (we were told that if we let any in the whole batch would be rejected).

The expensive strawberries were the same ones from the same fields, same picking and packing just put in different boxes with different labels, and they conformed more closely to an idealised strawberry shape.

A good lesson to learn early on.
Banning Facebook in the UK would definitely have an effect at the next polls, where the party in power and the prime minister would definitely be held to account very severely. No semi-democratic country can consider this course of action unless the service is really unpopular.
It’s a hard question. We live in tumultuous times... a more left wing government could use Facebooks’ contempt for all against them, harshly.
Are there reasons that e.g. Bitcoin and Ethereum and Stellar could not implement some of these more performant approaches that Algorand [1] and Vault [2] have developed, published, and implemented? Which would require a hard fork?
