Tangent about threads and Slack culture.

I have noticed that there are people who either purposefully, or unconsciously, do not use threads. They litter the stream by making sentences instead of paragraphs. What I don't understand is how could Slack not see this as an issue?

From my individual's perspective, I don't get the idea of chats as a one liner when topics should be contextualized via threads.
That's not the only thing about mass surveillance by corporate entities. Say an investment firm gets a hold of people's shopping habits and see they aren't shopping at BigBox store as much, so they can short that investment.
It shows your customers that you are a forward thinking company.

Bit of a loaded assumption that; accepting bitcoin has nothing to do with being forward thinking.

Bitcoin appeals to human greed, that's it. The comments comparing this to Linux and TCP/IP is apples and oranges.

Why would I as a hard working member of my society with a house and kids invest money into a system completely unregulated. I'm all ears.
It's not really a night light. More like a before-bed and wake-up light.

While they don't publish the brightness, I asked Casper support, and they said it is about 375 lumens, which seems right anecdotally (I don't have an integrating sphere to verify). Note that you need to open the app and set "Overall Brightness" to max (just one time, not every time) to get that many lumens, otherwise, it's more like 300.

That's roughly equivalent to a 40 Watt light bulb. 100-150 lux at a usable distance (which is what this would give you) is a good setting for most people (from what I've seen). For my eyes (age 26) that's plenty to read with.
This is like an onion article except it's not very funny
Web Dev Ecosystem Team – February Wrap Up
I can't take your concern for creatives' ability to feed themselves seriously when you turn around and advocate for fully destroying the platform that is feeding them. Many full-time content creators on YouTube aren't big enough to make it on a smaller platform or on their own.

I also don't think the "Machine" is necessary, but I do think it's better than having no global engine for content creation and community at all. If you think there's a viable third option, I'm interested in hearing how it would work and the cost of achieving it. But of course you're free to continue making dystopian metaphors and pointing at Nazis instead.
I have the 6T, still waiting for a stable ROM. But about the photos, they can easily get blurry too with the preinstalled OxygenOS.
"Why does no one want to pay their local locksmith with Bitcoin?"

The reasons given (few customers have it in a hot wallet ready to use, slow and expensive for small payments) are not the reasons! Even if many people had it, and the expense was lower -- few people would use it.

The real reason? Gresham's law: a monetary principle stating that "bad money drives out good".

Given 2 forms of commodity money in circulation, the more valuable commodity will eventually disappear from circulation.

A fixed-issuance token is designed to Deflate (go up in value), if its uptake and utilization increases. Hence, Bitcoin will "disappear from circulation" as money, vs. almost any alternative form of money!

Who's going to spend something that the believe is likely (barring catastrophic failure) to go up in value?

It is astonishing to me that this topic is even a question that people actually have...
Artificial Intelligence to the Rescue: Smart Robots Are Coming to Your Garden
Totally agree with this.

Also, smart thermostats have been "meh" since Maker magazines of the 70s. It's time to put and end to it, and move on to something genuinely useful.

> “AutoML could apply to all statistical endeavours that involve estimation”

Yes, this is the part that sounds like parody to me. At least, as a working statistician, I can tell you that the concept of AutoML could not apply to the far majority of things I work on.
The Last Meal
Yes, from this teardown, the hardware is nothing special at all. It’s much less than a modern smartphone, more like a Raspberry Pi.
>Let's just turn this into a completely publicly owned utility,

That's a bad idea if you want accountability in the event of a disaster because then the taxpayers are still ultimately on the hook. Making it a government organization all but guarantees government bailout in the event of a disaster. Better to just make PG&E pay (if it does turn out to be their fault) and then roll with whatever happens.
> My fellow members of the left make a grave mistake in assuming that private property rights are only important to the wealthy.

If you're defending billionaires, you aren't on the left.

This is great timing. It's one of my 2019 goals to do more mentoring.
Like I said above, economic reforms aren't really felt until at least a term after they were enacted. Obama's first term was feeling the effects of George W. Bush's administration (and later a financial crash to deal with, resulting from decades of regulation loosening by administrations from both parties).

To address your other trollish and deliberately antagonistic reply above, I would be a sore loser if I had any skin in the game, but I'm not American, so I don't particularly care which plutocrats you guys want to put into office.

If you want to go on a political rant to someone, you're better directing it another American.
The Byzantine Generals problem was "unsolvable" until Satoshi Nakamoto sidestepped it to make Bitcoin work. You don't need perfect solutions to have practical applications.

It's such a stupid argument against LN. I can make the same argument that you connecting to Hacker News is unsolveable (there is no mathematical proof that you will be able to connect to HN, because various gateways could drop offline). What does this matter in practice? You can still get here most of the time.

In LN, if the first route from A to B does not have the capacity to make the payment, an alternative route is tried. Many routes can be attempted, because they're usually sub-second negotiations between peers. If it happens that there is no route between A and B with sufficient htlc capacity that can be found in a timely manner, then you might be out of luck. Can always fall-back to an on-chain transaction. A LN invoice already supports a fallback bitcoin address. As the network grows this will become less and less likely because there will be an enormous number of routes to attempt for any payment. Chances of not making a payment will usually indicate your own or the payment destination nodes are the ones lacking capacity to make the payment.
And yet to a different concern about granting access to digital data the response is"what concerns do you have with sharing purchasing data?"

Naivety or purposely deflecting from the very real concerns many have and everyone should?
at a base level its regulation is completely transparent and algorithmic, unlike the closed-door regime of central banking.

If you don't care about the smarts, I really want to recommend this lamp as an alternative:
https://wap.taotronics.com/#/product/product_details?urlKey=...

It has no smart anything, it's just a battery powered dimmable lamp with beautiful light.

Comparison with Casper light:

- much cheaper

- has a handle that lets you hang it somewhere

- charges via micro USB

- doesn't have auto-off (will shine all night)
>This I actually don't agree with, a lot of people don't have a work mobile device

Here we're getting into a big factor: work vs. personal computing devices. I agree, a lot of people (including myself) don't have a work phone and don't want one.

So let's look at the two cases separately: home and work.

For home, I simply don't see people moving away from Windows, unless it means giving up a PC altogether, which actually has been happening to some extent with tablets and phones, which is exactly what I said before with the rise of mobile devices. The ones who insist on having PCs just aren't moving to Linux; I see no evidence of that whatsoever. Even my Linux-using (at work) colleagues all use Windows at home, and just keep talking about how Win10 is going to make them switch, but I'll believe it when I see it. If they haven't switched after all these years, I have zero confidence that Win7's EOL is really going make them move. People have been saying for so many years how they're going to switch to Linux because they're tired of Windows, and it never really happens; it's just like having fusion power plants or flying cars.

For work, most businesses seem to be stuck on Windows, and again I don't see that changing any time soon. For some development, there's been a big move to Linux, but it seems like most of that has been within VMs, because everyone is still stuck on using MS Office and Outlook, and only the engineering staff cares about using Linux (and actually needs it in many cases in fact). I just don't see how this will change any time soon; I've been waiting 20 years now for corporations to start moving to Linux, and instead we've seen some European cities do it, and then give up and move back (Munich). Again, I simply see zero evidence that there's any move in this direction, despite how much some of us would like to see it.

Considering that Gates has publicly said that he wants the government to tax him more(He said it most recently during the AMA not to long ago) I would disagree.
> Yes, I've worked with a few of those datacenters.

> I don't think I'd ever choose managed datacenter over AWS/GCP/Azure/etc.

Who mentioned managed datacenters? I'm pretty sure people are talking about leasing space and doing everything else in-house.
He disagreed with AOC's recent proposal (70% marginal income tax rate above $10m/year) https://www.cnbc.com/2019/02/12/bill-gates-supports-wealth-t... but he has recently advocated for higher capital gains taxes and higher estate taxes. https://www.cnbc.com/2019/02/19/bill-gates-taxes-on-rich-sho... So maybe he's trying to direct the discussion away from quite such a high number.
You invest in bitcoin and lose your key or it's stolen.. how does that work out in the end?

Edit: don't get me wrong, I have crypto currency I've blown many a kw/h on. But you can not as a society rely on a currency with such flaws. Hell maybe insurance startups will popup to handle the issue but I'm not holding my breath.
If you look at the history of China and the Taiping rebellion[1] 20 - 30 million died over essentially a religious extremism driven civil war. If China can stop religious uprising with minimal damage to society and death, isn't that an improvement, or are big civil wars somehow more fair?

In all things they take a pragmatic cost/benefit approach instead of solely thinking about dictums handed down from ancient books as the religious extremists do. The key question is: what is to stop all this from working?

In the 20s, Hayek and Von Mises wrote "Economic Calculation in the Socialist Commonwealth"[2] and gave a great criticism of Socialism that eventually predicted its collapse. Mainly that planning without prices would be extremely inefficient. There really isn't a good argument that doesn't rely on natural rights to explain why China's system won't work from a utilitarian perspective, only ones that pull on the heart strings.

For example, I often argue with Nazis on racist boards in order to talk them out of their false beliefs in the master race theories of the Nazis and how those false theories directly led to their downfall. The Nazis thought they could take over the world because they were a superior race and exterminating certain classes of people would solve all their problems. They really believed that. Those theories though were wrong, not only in a moral sense, but in a practical sense too. They invaded Russia in the winter thinking it would be easy and also did a lot of other really stupid tactical errors because they got high on their own supply. Many Jewish scientists immigrated and helped develop key technologies that gave the west massive advantages in the war, etc.

Point being, you have to not just rely on emotional arguments if you really want to deeply understand the forces underlying and changing history instead of focusing on what makes one feel morally justified. Feeling morally justified is good, but a lot of people who end up participating in their own failure to achieve their goals feel morally justified, but what they are doing is not working.

If you're serious: get a job at a well-known tech company. You might have to move for this unless you're already in a top-tier tech city (NYC, SF, and Seattle, definitely qualify; maybe Zurich, London, Toronto, and Sydney). Work there for two years. Move to a better tech company. You are now worth $300-400k per year.

If you're not already considered top-tier talent, I think Amazon is the easiest way into this right now. They are hiring at an incredible rate, and their engineers are generally considered good hires by Google, Facebook, etc. The lifestyle and working environment is generally considered acceptable if not exemplary.

Also, invest some time to become an expert at technical interviews. They are somewhat orthogonal to everything else that we do, but they are a near-universal shibboleth at top companies and it doesn't take that much time to get good at them. Most of the questions fall into a few broad categories that you can learn to recognize with practice.

This worked for me. YMMV. The key was relaxing the requirement that I stay in my childhood city, although luckily I only had to move a couple hours away.

Yeah, I wish I could delete comments here indefinitely after submitting them. There've been several I regretted and wished I could remove after a few days.
Here's one that I'd like to do but lack the time/commitment:

Movie theaters, movies, moviegoers... Connect them on a platform that accepts data about customers' available movie nights and preferences, and then allocates movies and moviegoers to available theaters. As a user, you'd enter the dates and times you want to see a movie, the theaters you prefer, and which movies you want to see, and the system presents you with a menu of options.

Theater owners would get full(er) houses; movie studios could get feedback about audience preferences; and it would make it much easier to go see the movies you want. Neat, eh?
Is there a one-click installer for this yet? i.e. a pre-built image for Digital Ocean or similar.

I'm moderately curious but so far I've not gathered enough motivation to mess around with an install.

DigiCert .arpa Mis-Issuance
Talking about exploiting poor information security as a "cyberattack" is the most dangerous thing here, as it paves the path for escalation into actual fighting. The appropriate context is two armies each residing on their side of the border, yelling insults back and forth.

"Prevent it from happening again" is utterly fallacious - there isn't one unique group that is capable of performing such actions, whereby vanquishing them will make everything "safe". Rather, the hacks are entirely in line what we should expect an anti-fragile society to tolerate. Rather than looking to shoot the messenger, we should even thank them when their proceeds align with the self-policing of our own institutions!

Ultimately what we're seeing here is the same old "tell them they're being attacked" technique applied to the information realm. Categorizing the involuntary-opening of societal institutions as an "attack" has only one possible ending, and it is the direct opposite of a democratic society!
Even if there's still sufficient taxes government organizations can behave badly. There's no incentive to fear the government making you accountable if you are also the government so you can be sure that a) is highly unlikely to happen and b) the taxpayers are the ones ultimatly on the hook.

Making your utility state run risks the the same "not our money" and "what are they gonna do, fire the whole department" issues that cause police department to hire trigger-happy jerks who kill people and leave the town with the bill.

Auto-dimming lights that change to warmer, less-blue light at bed time has been awesome for me in improving my sleep hygine. Same bulbs can also auto-brighten with simlar color temperature to sunlight and is a much better wake up experience than the backup alarm on my phone.

The only downside was the price.
I think lobsters is like that. I'm not really a fan. Controls like elevating user privileges for long time or trustworthy members is a better experience. I just bought upvote.dev and that's my plan for it.
Miss a team? Build a team and grow your business. Bored with the business and don’t want to grow it? Sell it. Either way, find something that excites you and do it. And by the way 400k/yr is nice but what if your business dries up in a year or two? It’s not fu money by any means.
>> In China, consumers are getting used to Alibaba’s AliMe, which coordinates package deliveries over the phone and haggles about the price of goods over chat.

I'm surprised by this. Seems like there is a lot going on in real brains when negotiating, much less a computer running some probabilistic algorithm. I'd be interested to see the specifics of how "consumers are getting used to" having a computer talk the price down with a real human seller.
The technology still evolving. 10 transactions is not and will not be the limit. The Lightning Network already proved that a much higher volume of bitcoin transactions can be made without slowing down the bitcoin network.

I like to think the energy consumption of the bitcoin network is an "idle energy":

10 transations/s = mid-size country

100 transations/s = mid-size country

10.000 transations/s = mid-size country

An increase in transations do not directly increase energy consumption.
