I don’t think that’s exactly what is being talked about; rather, people say “let’s go see a movie”, and then look at the movies app to see what’s in theatres lately. Of course they won’t end up going if there’s nothing worth seeing—but their criteria for “something worth seeing” is a much lower bar than it would be if they didn’t already want to “go see a movie.”

When a new movie comes out, I say either “that looks like it would be a good movie to watch in theatre”, or (far more often) “I think I’ll wait for that to come out on iTunes/Netflix/etc.” When I’m making that decision, the bar is high. But that’s because watching-at-home really is good enough for the vast majority of movies—it doesn’t remove anything from the experience.
Bezos and Amazon and the way they conduct / carry themselves. I no longer respect him as a leader or role model.

you should be incredibly suspicious of this whole worthless article. from the author directly:

no, shit.
Here’s my addition:

Phone numbers are of the same length within a country. In Austria phone numbers vary in length, and the trailing numbers can also can be used be PBXs.

That's awful. I hope Youtube will quickly find replacements for those stolen videos.

There are movies I want to see multiple times and movies I truly loved but only needed to see once. I would assume block blusters fit the "multiple times" category which is why they make so much money, because people go more than once.

A drama like Shawshank Redemption (a favorite of mine) is not the type of movie I would have paid to go see multiple times in the theatre. Where as I saw The Matrix 6 times in the theatre back when it came out. Every friend who wanted to go see it I went with.
Flying Spaghetti Monster I hate that this is real:

> Only mobile phones can receive text messages

> Some service providers support sending and receiving text messages to fixed-line numbers. There are also online services like Skype that can send and receive text messages.

"Oh but not-mobile-number phone numbers are always fraudulent so we don't accept them!" Great, I love getting caught in spam traps because I have a mobile phone...but it is a VoIP-backed system so the numbers show up as VoIP. (BTW, Verizon's "My Numbers" feature also show up as VoIP numbers, not mobile.)

Even more annoying: "Oh, but a bunch of people we know who are also technology professionals happen to use Google Voice / Google Fi so we'll just whitelist them." Grrr. So now I have to care what my "mobile" provider uses for its underlying network or just use Google.

And the last one: My credit union just sent out a terms of service update saying I "cannot use Google Voice, VoIP, or similar numbers with Zelle." OK, but I already have a number like that registered, what now? "Your Zelle access is suspended until you give us your mobile number." But that is my mobile number. "Too bad."
This is very cool. Meanwhile, in the xi-editor project, we're struggling with the fact that Swift JSON parsing is very slow. My benchmarking clocked in at 0.00089GB/s for Swift 4, and things don't seem to have improved much with Swift 5. I'm encouraging people on that issue to do a blog post.

So basically phone numbers are one or more text fields.
You were on the right track, DigitalOcean is the easiest and at $5/mo for Debian/Ubuntu, it should be sufficient for an MVP.

If you are concerned about security, just follow the "simple" steps below

https://www.digitalocean.com/community/questions/best-practi...

.. it's mostly just typing stuff in a terminal

You can probably skip 10, 11, 14, 15, 16, 17 (in the short run)

If you want to automate this, you can learn Ansible (or Fabric fabfile.org) but that is probably premature

Just make sure you have a backup of everything on your server (nobody is going to take that more seriously than you, specially for customer data)

For scaling, they have some simple Load Balancers now (pick the correct region where it is available) ... used to have to do some DNS-based load balancing before (AWS R53). Again, probably premature but it can be done without too much pain once you get there
Is this faster than the browser’s native parsing speed I assume?
It's standard operating procedure for the court.

They usually make the narrowest possible decisions, only in cases they felt they had to take (usually because of disagreements below, sometimes due to time considerations), and remand to lower courts to work out details left undecided.

In this case the holding leaves very little room for the lower courts to make any decision other than that the $45k property or equivalent value must be restored to the plaintiff. I suppose Indiana might want to take the $8800 between the $1200 and the max fine ($10k), but that would invite further pointless expense and embarrassment by having their rulings overturned by Federal courts, so I would bet the plaintiff gets the $45k back. I suppose the plaintiff may want interest too, but there's not enough value in that for them, but the State will surely fight that tooth an nail, especially if the courts decide that all (or many) civil asset forfeiture cases are now to open to being revisited, as the States (or their cities) will be on the hook for enormous amounts of money, and interest on that will be a lot too.

What a horrible thing to say to another person.
Good questions.

"Is DCN a smart contract where centralized exchanges push settlement groups to (say once every x minutes)?"

Yes, currently merkleX pushes settlement groups after the matches reach an age of 1 hour. So in practice, about one every hour for each market.

"However the CEX needs to feed in all signatures from all traders, resulting in a big bloat nonetheless (ETH blockchain is over 1TB right now)."

Ideally the amount of signatures a user provides will be much less then the amount they trade. For example you could set a limit preventing buys of Ethereum over 200 and sells under 100. That limit on trading could over trading for a week. It's a balance between trust of the exchange and load on the network. The power comes from giving the user the choice.

"This would require users to lock funds not just in the DCN, but tell the DCN at what specific exchanges these funds can be spent. If not a user can give 2 exchanges the same signature (to the same funds locked in DCN) and trade the same funds twice."

Yeah, good find. That's a current limitation and does make it harder to move between exchanges on the DCN.
I wouldn't say it's more comfortable. The rule on the Autobahn is that you move right if someone is coming up behind you. If it's two lanes each way, you'll have trucks going 80kph in the right lane and BMWs going 220kph in the left. If you want to go 150, you will find yourself urgently merging a lot with 70 kph speed differentials. The amount of attention and skill this requires is far more than the Interstate demands.
I thought the context was in contrast to sharing as unlisted videos on YouTube (the comment you were replying to)
Upstart doesn't include implementations on NTP, DNS, DHCP, or anything that opens a network port. It does however allow parallel boots with dependency analysis for quick boots.

Systemd on the other hand seems to be trying to take over syslog, ntpd, dhcpd, named, and related with generally poorer implementations. Feature creep seems constant with systemd, for no particularly good reason.
Yet for matters of taste, public decency, movie censorship, obscenity etc laws necessarily depend on "I'll know it when I see it" to some extent. Or you end up with absurd lists of approved and banned words, poses, bits, and "you may only reveal upto 5" above...". Objective but useless. In Florida public nudity is legal unless "vulgar or indecent". Objective how?

Then we inject judges and juries into the process to make them even more subjective.
Why Are Lawyers So Expensive Even with the Excess Supply of Lawyers?
I can answer my original question - Google has been actively blacklisting all forms of VoIP numbers to their best efforts, so it's almost impossible to register one account without putting in your personal information.

The last time I've checked it, there's only one workaround - you can purchase a real phone number connected to a computer from a cryptocurrency freelancer developer...

Many stories from the U.S media are condemning that the requirements of personal information online by authoritarian governments are threatening free speech, etc, meanwhile, in the U.S, big companies have done this voluntarily, and you need to be a hacker to register a Google account without personal information, it's just ridiculous.

How do you think algal oil would work out? Also, are you interested in studying groups of peoples and cultures and determining if e.g. somebody who's lived a life on the Mediterranean diet is better adapted to this kind of uptake and if that's reflective of a decline in AD for that group? Or maybe even just better overall mental health?
You have a good point.
Yea, I went looking for the same thing. I find it misleading to claim that steel melts in high rise fires and collapses (only three times in history) but wood chars and becomes fire resistant (at same temperature to melt steel??).

I'm a pretty tech savvy guy, and looking at the instructions on setting up a PeerTube instance (which I guess is required to even watch videos let alone upload) already turned me off.

Using non real world examples is a big problem.

So let's say you could convert $1 into $1.15 in revenue. You can't invest that money back into advertising because you forgot about costs and margin. Your product would need to have 100% margins for this to be true.

Now direct to consumer companies get no where close to that mythical margin and probably are well below 50% which means that you would need to finance a tremendous amount of inventory as a cost to get to revenue of $1MM.

So more like you need $25k ad budget and oh yeah we forgot to mention another $400k invested in inventory.

But saying you need $425k to get $1MM in revenue isn't as catchy as saying all you need is $25k.
I'm going by the assumption that, aside from genetic reasons, a circulatory system can in principle be kept in good shape through diet and exercise.

I think the first step is to focus on things that we don't have a solution for. Having good diet and exercise is a fairly comprehensive solution, no matter how hard it might be to maintain a lifelong strict regimen (as long as you're able to have such a regimen, your chances of the circulatory system going bad are slim to none).

In the case of organ failure, we don't even have anything other than reliance on organ availability from others.

Good article. Links to this interesting one from the same site:

https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/the-early-detection-of-canc...

Excerpt:

This earlier detection can also lead to an overestimation of the efficacy of treatment. That’s the grain of truth in the comment above. The reasons for this are two types of bias in treatment studies known as lead time bias and length bias. In the case of cancer, survival is measured from the time of diagnosis. Consequently, if the tumor is diagnosed at an earlier time in its course through the use of a new advanced screening detection test, the patient’s survival will appear to be longer, even if earlier detection has no real effect on the overall length of survival, as illustrated below:...

Unless the rate of progression from the point of a screen-detected abnormality to a clinically detected abnormality is known, it is very difficult to figure out whether a treatment of the screen-detected tumor is actually improving survival when compared to tumors detected later. To do so, the lead time needs to be known and subtracted from the group with the test-based diagnoses. The problem is that the use of the more sensitive detection tests usually precede such knowledge of the true lead time by several years. The adjustment for lead time assumes that the screening test-detected tumors will progress at the same rate as those detected later clinically. However, the lead time is usually stochastic. It will be different for different patients, with some progressing rapidly and some progressing slowly. This variability is responsible for a second type of bias, known as length bias.

Length bias refers to comparisons that are not adjusted for rate of progression of the disease. The probability of detecting a cancer before it becomes clinically detectable is directly proportional to the length of its preclinical phase, which is inversely proportional to its rate of progression. In other words, slower-progressing tumors have a longer preclinical phase and a better chance of being detected by a screening test before reaching clinical detectability, leading to the disproportionate identification of slowly progressing tumors by screening with newer, more sensitive tests.
Concrete setting times depend on ambient temperature. Too cold and concrete takes longer to achieve the necessary strength to start the next level. Admixtures and other techniques can improve this.

So the claim for taking less time than a _concrete_ building is plausible for this location (I assume it's pretty cold compared with other climates). However like you mentioned, a _steel framed_ building would be similar in build time, since the elements can be hoisted and joined in the same way as a CLT building.

But that also depends what your slabs are. Most steel framed buildings use concrete slabs, which need to be poured and set, but with high early strength concrete and propping, this takes less time than a conventionally formed concrete building.

Concrete buildings can go up really fast, I've seen 5-6 day cycles on jobs. It depends on the complexity of the structure and again the ambient temperature (among other things). So yes concrete can go up faster than CLT as you noted.

As an interesting side note, the article mentions that the top floors of this CLT building use concrete for mass to limit swaying.
I guess the question is, what do you parse it to? I'm guessing definitely not turning objects into std::unordered_map and arrays into std::vector or some such. So how easy it is to use the "parsed" data structure? How easy is it to add an element to some deeply nested array for example?

Cancer is life, not death on the micro level. Okay, maybe a shortsighted and cellfish (my play of words) struggle for life, but aren't we as a civilization doing the same thing right now? Anyway, if we keep vilifying cancer without understanding it, we'll end up "losing". I'm saddened to hear that a good developer and an open-source contributor has been struck with this fate. As a civilization with bold claims to fame, we should really focus on these mass killers rather than building bigger bombs and walls. I mean, come on, we can't even treat the flu and thousands die every year!
When the medical system actually starts curing people then they can claim their advice is the best. Otherwise it's just opinion. If you can't cure a disease you don't understand it.
I used to work in Construction Management on the structural concrete side, so I can weigh in (a little) on possible reasons why the CIP (cast in place) tower seems to be going up faster. Generally, CIP vertical structures have minimal changes from level to level, so as the building goes up, the construction crew (generally Carpenters, Rebar/PT laying crew, and concrete placers/finishers) will become much more efficient at their work. Also, there will be minimal 'fine' work on creating floor plans on a CIP deck, it will be a primarily flat surface, excepting stub walls (for steel stud walls), utility penetrations, possibly other stubbed elements for vertical shafts and etc., elevation cuts, and sloping. The structural concrete sequencing is such that the bare core structural body is formed first, and other trades will populate it to create the finished product later on. With wood framing, I am not too familiar with the process, but I believe many of the stud walls have structural properties, and in general much more of the finished 'shape' of the floor will be done in the wood framing process from level to level.
I think the claim is plausible. If you've ever watched Grand Designs, a lot of the houses (especially the cheaper or less traditional ones) use prefab pieces and are incredibly fast compared to traditional timber frames with poured concrete.

In the last few seasons, in particular, a bunch of the houses use pre-built wall (and even floor) "cassettes", also called closed-panel frames, that come with everything from the factory -- not just structural framing, but layers of insulation, breather membrane, vapor barrier, etc., complete with inside-facing gypsum drywall -- and simply lock together.

There are also lots of examples of custom off-site-engineered steel or wood pieces that are CNC-machined (almost always shipped from Germany or Switzerland), and also very fast to install, partly because they can machine them to a high precision. At the construction site, it's just assembly.

Has There Been Any News about the Possible 2017 Arctic “Nuclear Incident”?
This has been tried quite a bit ranging from proquint to random 32-bit phrases [0]. I just don't think we as humans are going to be able to make something both memorable and with enough size to hold, say, ed25519 keys (i.e. Tor v3 keys). KDFs leave a lot to be desired too, we're going to have to find a better way. Until then, obtuse names and lack of easy discovery will plague decentralized setups.

I think what the parent means is that it is indeed very popular on many tech sites where career discussion occurs to overstate imposter syndrome and imply that solid competence without imposter syndrome does not exist, everyone is just faking it.

Imposter syndrome is a real phenomenon and successful people are mere mortals who should not be put on pedestals. But it's possible to attribute too much to these factors. And dishonesty (faking it) should not be where you turn.

>Public changelogs can create their own form of community feedback pressure which easily stretches the sustainability of development resources

They can, but don't have to. There's no business need being served here like there would be with a startup getting feedback from customers, and HN isn't open sourced, so there's no direct way to do pull requests or report issues.

They could literally just publish changes and ignore people's opinions on the matter, that would be perfectly valid given their small staff and available commitment.

Also, if they wanted to keep feature requests and complaints off of HN proper, having a changelog or request thread might be an effective way to quarantine that content.
