s/Millennials/People/g -Seriously, although its perhaps stronger in young people, has this not always been a "thing" and had we a time machine, what would we find asking this of the same age cohort in times past?

Memory imparts a rosy hue: you can't ask people now about the past and expect an un-biassed answer.
Back in the days when GPU mining was a thing, CPU mining was reasonably efficient. This was actually a design goal, it was seen as promoting decentralization.

Now, obviously a rig full of Vega cards put out a lot higher hash rate than an 8C CPU, but the CPU was actually reasonably efficient in terms of wattage. At the time, building quad-CPU rigs on older architectures was actually a reasonably efficient build.
Yeah, this is Erlang:

fib(0) -> 0;
fib(1) -> 1;
fib(N) -> fib(N-1) + fib(N-2).

>We are working on marketplace where non-professionals would be able to invest in professional trader's strategies for profit share

Sorry, but that makes no sense. If a professional trader created a profitable strategy, why would she share it with non-professionals and "profit share"?

Further, if a number of people started to use a profitable strategy, then it wouldn't be profitable for very long.
Established licenses are named in a way that would tell me more even if they weren't established. Given that they are established a new license faces more of an uphill struggle and an informative name would help in my opinion.

Efficient incineration requires dry, energy dense garbage. Thus you need a population that recycles paper, PET, glass and compost religiously, so that all that is left to burn are hydrocarbons like plastic.

If Americans "are terrible at recycling" as the article says, then the incinerators will be burning the wrong stuff.

Show HN: ForGrowth – Smart way to follow your favourite topics with full control
Hi HN,

I like to introduce ForGrowth.

TLDR: ForGrowth is a platform which provides control to you as a user in consuming the content you want. You can choose granular topics and locations and get personalized content (Jobs, Events, News, & Insights) matching them.

Like many of us, I track a lot of topics (technology, sectors) by subscribing to forums (like HN, reddit), newsletters and twitter accounts. I face challenges in discovering the right opportunities and insights matching me & my exact needs.

For eg. assume I am a frontend developer from Newyork and subscribe to a newsletter for Javascript. If I repeatedly see all the Javascript jobs / events / meetups listed in the newsletter are from SF Bay area, I would start ignoring the newsletter.

In other words, personalized content which will be useful to my context is missing. On the other end, we are shown unsolicited advertisements in the auto-profiling content platforms (like Facebook) when we consume content for a different context.

We hope to fix this with ForGrowth.

ForGrowth is starting with a personalized newsletter and webapp. You choose granular topics and locations. We send hand curated content (Jobs, Events, News, & Insights) every week matching your preferences. Nothing more. Nothing less.

As a webapp user, you can search, filter & bookmark contents. For now, its free for readers to subscribe as many topic editions as they want. We have started to send our platform invites.

We are starting with a small list of topics & locations (sanfranciso bay area, newyork & remote) split across platforms (given below). We would expand them soon based on the user feedback and interests.

Skills Topics - https://skills.forgrowth.io/?ref=hn

Opensource Topics - https://opensource.forgrowth.io/?ref=hn

Impact Topics - https://impact.forgrowth.io/?ref=hn

Please try it out. We would love to know your ideas, questions and feedback.
It's never too late...consider getting another university degree. Having previous experience like yourself is always an interesting story to tell employers.
Now that this has gained wide attention the Tufts university counsel and administrative layers are preparing themselves for the inevitable lawsuit. Defamation, actual damages, pain and suffering etc.

I doubt the public will learn what actually happened but just from that article we can conclude that all parties to that investigation were remarkably lax in their approach to DFIR and I've seen several people on twitter say she would have been better off under an FBI investigation with people who actually know the job than Tufts.

My guess; gender based harassment by a member of the Tufts IT staff who thinks he was extremely clever and will not be caught since he ran the investigation as well as the crime.

And we know what happens to people who think they are clever; they boast and it is their undoing.
There is no such thing as ASIC-proof. You can make an ASIC for any deterministic algorithm.

"ASIC-resistance", in this context, only means that ASICs can be held to a low multiple of CPU/GPU efficiency. So ASICs can be 10x as efficient as a CPU/GPU, but not 10k-1m times as efficient like they can on something like SHA.

Unfortunately, profit trends towards zero (towards cost of production) until prices change, so having a 10x advantage is still actually quite big. That means you're making at least a small profit when everyone else is forced to turn off their rigs.

In practice this means that ASIC-resistance, as a method of decentralizing control of the network, doesn't work. Big farms pay cheaper rates for electricity (in China, sometimes zero, by stealing it or bribing local officials), and have insider access to much more efficient ASIC hardware than the general public does. So when profit declines to zero, they inherit the network by virtue of being the only miners who remain profitable.
use Apache-2.0 then. It's longer in text but people are already using it and know what the terms mean. The point of the whole exercise is to use a small set of well-known licenses and keep things out of the hands of lawyers (which is admittedly the opposite of what Blue Oak wants)

It generalizes specifically a class of consensus algorithms that write to sequences of registers in a monotonic way, such that if a "previous" register decides v, future "registers" and associated quorums will decide v.

This is not a property of all consensus algorithms. Consensus algorithms don't need to behave this way. Paxos and derivatives behave this way, but I'm not sure Raft, etc. slide in as neatly (that would require a substantial analysis).

In particular, this generalization does not capture any nondeterministic algorithm, any algorithm tolerating Byzantine faults (or various other consensus problems), any non-quorum based algorithm, Nakamoto style (which is a byzantine consensus algorithm), Ben-Orr, etc. etc.

So, my question for you: what other algorithms do you think this paper generalizes, that are useful outside of the narrow scope of optimizing Paxos?

Is that because carriers have put GCM/FCM on some sort of white-list?
The real reason they failed (mining efficiency aside) is because the technology was co-opted by criminals that embedded the miner into hacked sites and display advertisements without permission. This caused them to land on every single anti-virus and domain blacklist out there.
What is a workable solution to this problem? How does a company prevent it?

In the US if you're working under a bully, you can't really call them out because they'll punish you, you can't go to HR because they'll defend the bully and you'll be poisoned now in the eyes of other managers. You can't go to your skip level, because they're permitting the behavior, and if they're not then (too often) you'll be the lone voice saying this as everyone else is afraid and just wants to keep their jobs. So the skip level just assumes you're the problem. And so on.

To everyone pointing out that you need an edge to trade successfully, you can’t beat HFT guys with this etc etc...this is a tool for dumb money. Just look at casinos, they make billions from dumb money. Just because you can’t beat hft traders with this doesn’t mean there isn’t demand for a tool like this. People will buy this so they are making it.

There's a difference between reaching out, and actively trying to obstruct justice. Note that it wasn't a case of, "if you show up we'll have reasons to arrest you". The arrest warrant was already issued, but one of the cops involved was trying to prevent it from being served.

There's plenty of details about this story by now, all of them easily verifiable, and practically none in favor of the police.
It works that way defendants too.

I was on a jury for a case where a guy plead manslaughter down to reckless driving because IT supporting various police agencies was inept or working with ancient junk and a expert witness was unable to explain how NTP works.

The defense attorney was able to dazzle and jive his way to dismissing the evidence. This happens because the issues are complex and the practice of IT is so poor.
Maybe you missed the part that I said I was working at Walmart and got fired. This is your typical grunt job, not an IT position with respect and dignity.

I wasn't rolling in dough prior to it, and had even less afterward. The thought that I'd be able to shop around with lawyers and schedule a consultation, and all that while I'm scrambling for looking for another job... Well, it speaks to many people here that do have buffers in their income and savings. I, and all whom I worked with at the time had no buffers.

Maybe I'd have won. Or not. But what I do know is the lawyers who did want to hear my case both said no. Others, I left the details with the secretary. Nothing.
In the US a while back there was a lot of political drama over "death panels". For the record it was all BS there were no "death panels" proposed in Obama care and it was nothing like the people who used that phrase implied.

Interesting enough the one thread that the folks pushing that concept picked out was a provision that paid doctors for consulting with people about what kind of end of life care they would like. That's all it was. There had been strides that showed individuals chose all on their own to refuse some of the most expensive late stage life care after having talked to a doctor about it. The result also meant there was significant cost savings, reduced stress for those dying and their families.

Sadly the BS surrounding "death panels" meant that provision was left out of Obamacare.

I don't know if there is an afterlife with any sort of destination based on people's choices, but I like to think if there is there's a special room in hell for folks who used that provision to score political points, and likely meant that some folks may have suffered more because of it.

R&D spending has been relatively stagnant. While industry revenue increased by 45 percent, or $241 billion from 2008 to 2014, industry spending on R&D increased just 8.5 percent in that same period, from $82 billion to $89 billion (GAO 2017). By some measures, R&D expenditures are actually falling, as more firms are outsourcing R&D to third parties. In that seven-year period, purchased R&D increased from $20.5 billion to $31.2 billion while in-house R&D fell from $61.7 to $58.2 billion (GAO 2017). Finally, the industry can only claim partial credit for recent medical breakthroughs. The federal funding provided by taxpayers contributes around 25 to 30 percent of all R&D spending per year, and a Bentley College study found that all 210 drugs approved between 2010 and 2016 were rooted, in whole or in part, on National Institute of Health (NIH)-funded research (Cleary et al. 2017).

Not easy to say without chemically analyzing the water. Oceanographers deal with this questions all the time

Roughly speaking, clear water means less life, less phytoplancton. The algae had gone. Is registered in lakes when water turns more acidic by contamination. They appear pristine, but is an ilusion. The ecosystem is very ill.

At sea this can normally indicate a different water mass by natural processes. Different salinity or temperature, a change on winds, barometric pressure, or sea currents can change this. Is totally normal.

And this could happen also when trowing signifiant amounts of something that kills microscopic life to the water (chlorine to pipelines for example).

Firstly, the guy isn't qualified to make such a sweeping statement about the opposite sex. So before we even step into the problems with why it's a dumb idea to say such things, lets just make it clear that he's a physicist and not an anthropologist, biologist, or sociologist.

We definitely care about his moral character, but it's also just flat out incredibly naive to discredit women in his field when they've been playing catch-up for years due to cultural boundaries in the sciences.

Any scientist who steps out of their lane to attack another gender or race deserves every bit of what they get. It's cowardly to use your position as a scientist in a completely unrelated field to justify your hatred for some other group of humans.

Moreover, the guys history is terrible. He's got a chip on his shoulder about women and unethically chose to use his platform as a CERN scientist to exercise his anger.
It's a pretty common problem when explaining tech. You (non-specific "you") have spent so much time thinking about a topic that all knowledge about it is assumed. You feel the need to defend your position from misunderstanding and misrepresentation. Contrasting it against other tech is of great interest to you. Meanwhile, I have no idea what you are talking about because you haven't actually explained what it is. But, explaining this big, complicated thing you've been working on forever is hard and could potentially expose you to criticism. Much more fun to continue bragging about how it's different/better than other people's stuff.
> Which is why I said, literally, "their behavior crosses into anti-competitive."

Yes, and I'm saying that it isn't true. Merely owning majority market share doesn't make a company anti-competitive. Anti-competitive behavior does. And while it takes the latter following the former to work, it certainly isn't guaranteed.

> You can compete with vendors, or you can control most of the market. But you can't do both: control the market, then use that advantage to drive competition out of business.

They absolutely can drive competition out of business as long as they aren't using their position to do so illegally. Gmail shut down a lot of email providers, not through anti-competitive behavior but through providing a more compelling product. Amazon has yet to successfully drive any supplier out of business. There's an argument that they broke Toys R Us, but that wasn't anti-competitive, that was through introducing toys that weren't severely overpriced. Walmart assisted with that.

> 50% is a staggeringly high market share. For reference, Toyota has less than 10% market share.

Toyota is in a nearly 100 year old industry which has multiple multi-national companies competing. iRobot has a 62% market share but nobody is looking to take down big vacuum.

50% market share of a sub-market within a major market is a weak argument. While they have 50% of online market share, they have something like 9% of actual retail sales, which is considerably less than Walmart.

> https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-04-20/got-a-hot....

> http://fortune.com/2016/04/20/amazon-copies-merchants/

Your argument was that Amazon ranks them higher in search results. Both of these articles are discussing Amazon using white-label suppliers to build competing products. That's not the same thing. Every major retailer has been building white-label and private-label products for decades.

> Those companies are accusing amazon of literally copying their unique products.

You'll notice what they aren't doing is suing Amazon for patent-infringement. The very article you posted shows that while Amazon makes competing products, they don't violate patents.

> Amazon is literally copying existing products that do well.

No they are making competing products. That's not copying, that's called "competition".

> their product cuts straight to the top ranked in your categories.

That should have been a very clear indicator for you, but you kind of missed the point. Amazon doesn't rank their products higher. The ranking algorithm is generic, and largely tied to top selling items in a category. When you see two products that are very similar, and one is half the cost of the other, you buy the cheaper market.

It seems, to me at least, your issue isn't Amazon. Your issue is the consumer market doing exactly what it's always done.
Yeah, you really need to adopt a completely different style if you're writing a whole applications with Groovy as opposed to scripting or test code. It's like a different language almost (more like nicer Java). It does work quite well for it when you do that though.
School networks tend to emphasize MAC addresses as an identifier, simply as a historical consequence of when those networks developed. A MAC address used to be more meaningful than it is now. For example, at my boarding school around 2008, the internet shut off at 11pm, unless you set your MAC address to the same as a library computer...

Point is, I can easily imagine a grumpy and misinformed IT person placing an unrealistic amount of confidence in a piece of evidence drawn from a MAC address.

The drop in hash rate (over 50%) after the last Monero hard fork hit us hard. So did the “crash“ of the crypto currency market with the value of XMR depreciating over 85% within a year. This and the announced hard fork and algorithm update of the Monero network on March 9 has lead us to the conclusion that we need to discontinue Coinhive.
