Isn't that exactly what ethereum eventually demonstrated via the DAO fork?

The core developer team effectively wields this power, but people still seem to be using their currency.
But you get a whole 'room' to yourself for that price or just get bunk in a room with a bunch of other people.
I totally agree. Vue Router always made more sense to me.

I wrote my own router for Inferno/React and Mobx inspired by Vue Router. It never made much sense to me to use components to define routes, or needing to use a HoC to be able to access the router from a component.
> If enough people in society see something as "wrong"

But not enough people do, and I'm not convinced that will change. Also, I would say there's a great difference between human slavery and animals being killed. There are a whole lot of people who probably won't want to switch over to fake-meat, because it's perceived as creepy and weird. Lab grown food (and the idea thereof) just rubs people the wrong way. It's like the people who promulgate insect consumption in the West: it's a cultural issue, and demonizing people because of their culture is not right.
If you're not actively targeted, it's much less likely they're logging all of your traffic (or even new TCP connections or UDP 'connections') as it's expensive to do that for every customer in a non-sampled manner (like with Netflow).
Maybe, but having to view the scenery from your own seat instead of from the observation car is pretty far removed from “hell.”
Are you saying it should be illegal to rent property?

Moreover, have you considered who is going to benefit from the Amsterdam law? Existing landlords! It’s rentseeking (literally) on the part of landlords who don’t want competition!
I don't think crypto technology without the devs who wrote it is a very marketable thing.

You'd basically have to audit and reverse engineer a ton to even get back to where the product was before firing.

Either they've already struck a deal and the buyer didn't want all the employees, or that company isn't selling, IMO.
The limiting factor is, roughly speaking, wages. Assuming landlords actually want to rent their properties out, the rents will go up to the maximum people can afford/are willing to pay - I'm not sure the distinction matters - and then go no further.

(And it's possible they are already at that level, or near enough. It is after all the price point that a seller always tries to hit...)
Requiring "native fluency" could be interpreted as requiring the candidate to be a native English speaker, which would obviously be discriminatory. That's probably not the intent, but it's a bad choice of wording.

If they mean "as fluent in English as a native speaker", then that's arguably much too high a standard.
But it isn’t as though the problem is “using CSS” — it’s doing the stuff that people currently use CSS to do. Using html to do that same stuff is no better from an accessibility perspective, which is what the quote seems to imply.

Note: I’m all for web accessibility and I work in this space. I think it’s important for advocates to not overstate the case for the simplicity of compliance, which is what I think happened here.

It's pointless to provide examples, because Google will quickly "recall" anything that is being searched by multiple different people.

Unfortunately, it is no longer possible to use Google Search for searching in Internet. You are only allowed to look up viral memes and query neural networks, trained by other people's searches. Searching for rare and unique things will quickly get you banned. An interesting side-effect: using modern Google to check if name is vacant is meaningless. I used to google for names to see, if something else used them, but Google's search repeatedly returned me 0 results, even when there were multiple pages with that particular name in title, many of them years old. Searching for the same thing couple of weeks later have suddenly returned hundreds of hits.

I wonder, how much it costs to actually query Google's database instead of some distant neural network approximation. Apparently, Google's own employees can't afford it anymore — some of them are using DuckDuckGo instead (they even added it to Chrome, lol)

Intel does 64x64 bit multiplies and returns a 128-bit result. ARM does 64x64 bit multiplies and returns just the lower (or upper) 64-bits.

Wyhash is built around the 128-bit result. This is fast on Intel, but slower on ARM.

> QE was the impending inflation that was going to happen

QE backstopped the inflation that already happened during the credit boom.

By supporting housing prices (and other associated bad debt) they essentially prevented a deflationary spiral, which one could think of as an unwinding of inflation.

End result: ever higher housing prices and generally stagnant incomes.

It's a complex topic and a deflationary spiral was probably worse for the economy, but QE did affect inflation.
Easily solved with instant runoff voting[1] for the entire spectrum from Remain to No Deal.

No one wastes their vote voting tactically, everyone gets their voice heard, and we get to choose exactly how we shoot ourselves in the foot when Leave wins a 2nd vote.

I notice those who feel strongly about tipping break into two camps, one of which is good at their job and makes decent money from tips, and one of which is bad at their job and makes far less money from tips.

And that second camp is always trying to get the first camp's money.
That is correct, thank you. Also in the description, I meant stenotype and not stenography.
I'd indeed say it costs more than most people are willing to pay.

That said, a sleeper car on Amtrak gets you: a flat surface to lie down on, your own toilet (note the toilet is just there in the roomette, next to the bunk, prison style), access to a shower (your own shower in the rooms, one per car for the roomettes), access to the first class lounges, and includes meals in the dining car.

Rooms have a slightly wider lower bunk versus roomettes to sleep 2 (skinny) people and an enclosed toilet so you don't lose mystery from your romantic or work relationships. Roomettes are too small for a first world prison cell but have the beds oriented parallel to the direction of travel, which many people find more comfortable -- the rocking of the train is more soothing and less jarring.

If you have the time, don't mind paying four-star hotel prices for a two-star experience, and hate flying or have a medical condition that makes it infeasible you should definitely consider it.

Or, if you're on this site, it's a great excuse to sit in a small room with a view and not talk to anyone for several days, just read, write and program.
> Business schools fetishize entrepreneurial innovation, but their most prominent heroes succeeded because they manipulated corporate law, not because of personal brilliance.

Another week, another swipe at successful people. It’s really interesting to see academics who have never built a business, hired employees, etc deflate and downplay the value of hard work.

How many reports like this until everybody is ready to give the wealthy a bath? Or better yet, hand over economic independence to our loving, caring government? Time will tell.
> Hm, why aren't compilers generating that instruction?

Thats polynomial multiply. Its (almost) a multiplication in GF2 for elliptical curves. Thats not a "normal" multiply.

"PMULL" is basically a bitshift and XOR. Your traditional "MUL" is bitshift and ADD. Its called "polynomial multiply" because bitshift-and-xor has very similar properties to bitshift-and-add (it distributes over XOR, associative, communative, etc. etc).

Bitshift-and-xor has a few features that are better for cryptography. But its NOT the multiplication you are taught in grade school.

--------

EDIT: With that being said... those "better features" for cryptography would make PMULL probably a better function for random-number generation. PMULL will return a different result than the real multiplication, but you'll have an easier time making a field (aka: reversable 1-to-1 bijections) out of PMULL than MUL...

It's very cheap to do in coach. I think I paid $300 or so. The key thing is to get off and spend some time at the major stops (Chicago, Denver, Salt Lake City).
Yes.

Onshore wind is cheaper than coal, gas or nuclear energy when the costs of ‘external’ factors like air quality, human toxicity and climate change are taken into account, according to an EU analysis (in 2014).

The report says that for every megawatt hour (MW/h) of electricity generated, onshore wind costs roughly €105 (£83) per MW/h, compared to gas and coal which can cost up to around €164 and €233 per MW/h, respectively.

Nuclear power, offshore wind and solar energy are all comparably inexpensive generators, at roughly €125 per MW/h."

Taxi industry decries Quebec's deregulation plan
It really depends on your business. My company is building a system for businesses and working with VCs (or YC, if accepted) would be valuable for us. It’s a sales tool, essentially.

In addition, there are cases such as building rockets or a factory or other regulated industries where you need capital. If you can bootstrap, do it. However, many people don’t have the upfront investment, connections, or education (in the case of YC).

I agree with the author if we were discussing standard “dumb money” VCs. But in this case, we are discussing YC, it’s community, reputation, and educational resources. You don’t technically need to take more money, just take the 7% hit and gain access to more resources. It may be worth it (it also may not), it depends on the situation.
>A thought experiment: how would an economy run solely on a Bitcoin-like currency behave? And how would it respond to business cycles?

Similar to how it behaved during the gold-backed dollar era. "Money shortages" were a thing often leading to market corrections during the early 1900s. This book references it several times: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reminiscences_of_a_Stock_Opera...

I've been in the beta for months, but it's a bit annoying...5 months in and you still can't register new domains. The domain management is also pretty confusing, because it's all jumbled together with the DNS interface. They need to have 2 interfaces, even if they are interconnected.
With this post I wanted to go into details on the grouping functionalities that can be implemented with sparse sets. This is something I have been asked about since I published the last part of the series and I think it can help to better understand how EnTT works under the hood.

Stamp duty is exactly backwards. They shouldn't tax transactions (that usually improve economic efficiency almost by definition), but they should tax holding land.

Negative gearing is a special kind of Australian crazy. Must be the drop bear bites.
>> I think the biggest difference between today and 20 years ago when I first go into Silicon Valley is that most founders are generally already planning their exit. There are a lot of startups whose mentality is "get big quick enough so that we can get bought out by Google/Facebook/Amazon/etc".

Exactly the same mentality 20 years ago, except back then it was mostly about the IPO.

Would it be beneficial? Yes. Is it necessary for most cases? No. I do think, however, the moment when you infrastructure becomes defined by code (eg. you start using any CM system) then you should be training your sysadmins to program more and duct tape existing solutions less. Operations become vastly easier to scale and maintain if you can defer their logic to actual services with clearly defined business logic rather than a mess of ansible configs and bash scripts.
I've moved some domains to Cloudflare Registrar not knowing this limitation. I asked them about it and the support person said they are targeting Q1 2019 for this feature. Now that we're approaching that date I'm not sure they'll hit that.

I've also had a billing issue with Cloudflare Registrar. I transferred two domains and paid the renewal fee, and two months later was charged for the same domains again. They've since issued a refund after I raised a support ticket (still waiting on that to hit my card), but the fact that it happened at all is worrying to me.

Granted I was in early access so I expected some things not to be polished yet, but these are pretty critical areas to get right as a registrar. And since my billing issue happened just last week I doubt that issue has been fixed with the general release.

So I'm going to hold off on transferring more domains until it matures, or just stick with Gandi.
You can thank Sarbanes-Oxley for this.

Edit:

For further context: It used to be that a technology company could go public and provide an exit to investors. After the dot com crash, Sarbanes-Oxley regulations made it much more difficult to IPO. It has many administrative requirements, greatly increases run rate to support and raises the finanical bar significantly to which companies can go IPO. The VC model however remains the same, they need 10X returns. Thus you see them pushing entrepreneurs to go IPO which post-SO means a longer runway to exit fraught with a lot of risk mostly placed on the entrepreneurs (compared to pre-SO). It became a rational choice for the founders to take smaller, faster exits since "the big one" (IPO) now looks less certain for all but the most successful startups.

> I can't imagine YouTube would exist if it had to have captioning for every single video to begin with

In many instances, the rise of YouTube has been deleterious to the web. So much content that would have once been presented in text is now video, with the result that what might have been a fast skim now forces readers to move at the slower pace of the video, and it is much more difficult to parse for those with disabilities or to find in a search engine. (Too much content today has moved to images, too – it is remarkable how people who would have once written a blog consisting of longform text, are now trying to shoehorn their content into the more limited space that Instagram provides for them.)
> The fact that prices are going up proves this is not true.

No. Prices go up because demand is higher than supply and people are forced to live somewhere (as in "reasonably near their work") and are therefore forced to spend lots of money on this. They wouldn't do so if they did not have to.
It is their property. They paid for it, and it was never sold or otherwise transferred.

It was fine. I was in the habit of TeXing up my homework anyway so was fairly practiced, and I have shit handwriting and know I'll never reference anything I write on paper, or have it to look at in a few years. I also don't get that much out of lectures.

YMMV

It's nice to have it to reference now though.
Politicians don't push for renewables because it doesn't get them any points with their constituencies. You can point to energy lobbyists as a reason for this, but it isn't necessary to do so. You can just ask the average citizen- "how much do you care?" and the answer is low to not at all (ignore the polls, look at their actual actions and behaviors).
Maybe some will?

My take is:

The complex admin work will be going to the cloud providers.

The rest (besides some niche stuff) will get so simple a programmer can do it on the side.

Admins that don't learn to program are left behind. Only those who have some cushy full time employment, were they can't be let go, will remain.

Carriers know who is originating the call by the bill-to-number. There is reciprocal compensation, rural terminating, and other fees the carriers pay each other to terminate calls. Only customers don't know.

Carriers don't want to fix the issue because they make money on it. More calls increases revenue. They also started selling services to block the robocalls like ATT Call Protect.
People like the idea of nuclear, but none of these pro-nuclear advocates can make it cost-effective in practice. Look at South Carolina, what a debacle and the costs are being thrown onto rate-payers. New-build nuclear is just not working economically in the USA, we'd need a big change in policy, permitting, and willingness of the populace.

In many ways, China's nuclear demonstrates the advantages of its authoritarian system; it can get some things done far better than democracies, willingness/permitting/policy being such non-concerns for their governmental system.

The Czech Republic tries to promote distributed multi-level government (so only people living in a given area have say over it) and the EU goes directly against it.
