At the source, they sign their prices. If a source isn't willing to sign, you'd have to trust proxy signers to sign the price for the source. Reporters read from the signers (proxy or the original), sort the prices, and try to write them on-chain.

Over time as well, you cannot keep up with features. You will always be lowest common denominator, because if a system handles 6 platforms, and you want the feature of 1 platform on that platform, it will triple or more your amount of effort to implement it.

It's the only way to get tenants that will stick around long-term, thus solving the retention problem.

With this in mind, I can see their approach being to offer a Google/Facebook-like full-service campus-style workplace, but for companies that are way too small to provide this themselves.

Like Make, Model, Color, and VIN? The last time I got a parking ticket it certainly included those details in the citation. I can imagine being able to contest and win any citations issued to the same plate but with otherwise non-matching supporting information. But in the case where someone else has the same make, model, and color car, you might be out of luck if the VIN gets recorded as "CANNOT READ" or is left blank.

Resetting a lightbulb. What a time to be alive.
I think that even our current civilization, if it stopped today, would be pretty easy to miss in the geological record 200 million years from now.

But imagine if civilization had ended 500 years ago, or even a thousand. There would be absolutely nothing to show for it in a couple hundred million years time.
That's bad luck! But... if you'll never buy from a manufacturer because one of their models had a corrosion issue or drivetrain issue you'd never be able to buy a car ever again?
But he gets to keep the money that they paid him for the buildings.
That is a strong assertion that requires proof. The consensus view is that there aren't. For example, one could claim that a TM couldn't simulate a coin flip as it cannot simulate true randomness, but this assumes that the coin flip is "truly" random without establishing it (which would be hard because of pseudorandomness). Or, in the case of arbiters, you could claim that the arbiter behaves like the magical collaborator in the stop/go examples, converting two analog inputs to a binary decision that takes an arbitrarily long time, but this only introduces yet another magical collaborator capable of producing analog inputs that are equal to arbitrary precision.

This is a common problem when we appeal to continuous natural phenomena, as their common description is usually a convenient, but imprecise, abstraction. Goldreich addressed this in On the philosophical basis of computational theories [1]: "A computational model cannot be justified by merely asserting that it is consistent with some theory of natural phenomena ... The source of trouble is the implicit postulate that asserts that whatever is not forbidden explicitly by the relevant electrical theories, can actually be implemented"[2]

[2]: He adds "at no cost" because his focus is complexity, not computability
If you have kids they play with turning the light switch on and off. So I can see the need not to reset by accident.

A simpler solution is to have ordinary plain light bulbs. Probably friendlier to the environment due to less electronics. It’s hard to hack ordinary light bulbs so they are secure.

Reset button makes sense though. Reset button are costlier for bill of materials so manufacturers save on that.

Weimar Germany had a bout of hyperinflation early on, but between 1924 and 1929, the country was stable and prosperous.
Were you using it in a browser? If you just use "Forward" in the browser, you'll go back (that is, forward) to the doodle you created, if you accidentally back out of it. In the native apps you can't go "forward" again, but if you have a (free) account, all your created doodles are in your "Doodles" folder.

Or am I picking up on confusion about my general model (which I'm certainly open to feedback about). If you draw and don't share, but press back or try to leave the page, you're prompted about destructively leaving. Sharing creates the doodle and makes a link for you to share (or bookmark, or whatever you like), so the contents aren't considered wiped at that point; they're considered successfully sent.

Please let me know if I'm failing to understand what isn't working as you expect, of if you think my model is confusing to new users. Thanks!
Tip is old enough (1755) that they where the same word.

The cynic would be mostly right, at least for much of the history of English, as for hundreds of years insure and ensure were simply spelling variants, and had no more difference between them than theatre and theater.

However, in the middle of the 19th century some began to find fault with this, and proposed assigning meanings to ensure, insure, and assure in more orderly fashion.

PS: Tip is unlikely to have started as an acronym in either case.

Not even all schools in my country do that, it's nothing standard, just something some schools around me do (and it's encouraged by the police). However I think it's illustrative of the car culture. The center mirror thing is done by all schools though.
Most Uber drivers know they are putting wear on the car that is going to cost a lot in the long term.

But also, most Uber drivers are like most people: when they needed a job, they needed one sooner than later, and they cannot easily just quit and find another better one.

People are not driving for Uber because they think its the ultimate investment strategy or something or because they are too dumb to realize car maintenance adds up.

Plus I believe the City of London has a policy of avoiding owner occupied apartments blocks. Once a building is owned by 600 people, there is no way you can buy it, demolish it to build something more adapted to the new demand.

I registered to a remote degree offered by one of the universities I graduated from (400€ a year). I'm not reading Sumerian texts yet, beside those in the class which are mostly texts celebrating foundation of sometime (a temple to a god for example).

The language is way more grammatical than I expected, and the first year if focussed on learning that. Really interesting nonetheless.
So one should expect many bulbs to need resetting at once? I would hope the need for resets would be very sporadic.
> The word “jazz” probably derives from

> It should be clear by now that all of the popular stories about the origin of the word are wrong

Well that went from "probably" to clarity pretty quickly. (the rest of the article doesn't mention the probable claim again; the only possible reference is an OED quote about "jasm", not about "jazz").

While I'm sure the OED does make a compelling connection between "jazz" and "jasm", it seems a bit disorganised for the article not to reference this directly (presuming that's the author's source).

The tone is also so odd: it's as if it was written purely as a rebuttal to some pub debate that the author had been particularly worked up about, zealous exclamation-marks throughout.

I love playing that piece - from the booming ffff crescendo to the feverish accelerando in the middle, it’s just a blast, and a great one to break the ice and warm up with. I remember learning this prelude, elegie, and liszt’s mephisto waltz, liebestraum and orage one summer when I was 16 or so. They were incredibly cathartic pieces for an angry young man, and played no small part in getting me through a difficult period.
Then you cannot use the muscles, and you've just lost one the of the initial use-cases. Repeat it for any organ that need a functional body for its development and you might end up with really few useful parts from your “factory” actually.
It is not just single use plastic.

Micro plastics from washing clothes:

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S026974911...

"The number of microfibres released from a typical 5 kg wash load of polyester fabrics was estimated to be over 6,000,000 depending on the type of detergent used"

A lot of study still needs to be done to determine the sources of micro plastics.

We can all stop using single use carrier bags, but can we stop washing our $3 Target t-shirts made from poly-cotton?

I'm getting the same. I checked after leaving my previous comments in this thread.

For example, began entering a manual contact and the name for that contact was sent to FullStory (that's as far as I looked.)

That's enough for me. I understand I'm already sending my data, but there's no mention that my sensitive data is going to another service. And I would expect that my data is sent over a secure line and securely stored. And that it won't be "replayed" or otherwise viewed.

EDIT: How do I delete my account? Consider that a feature request.
I followed the opposite route: tried Nim and liked it a lot, then switched to Julia. Perhaps my typical usage of a scientific language is quite different from yours. In my case, what drove me away from Nim was the fact that even small features of the language keep changing in no controlled waya. It was 2014, and commits related to some obscure feature were subtly changing the behaviour of apparently unrelated stuff. Julia changed a lot in the last years, but in a very controlled way, and always sticking to semantic versioning. In 2014, Nim 1.0 was said to be behind the corner, yet only a few weeks ago the first RC for version 1.0 was released (Nim 0.20), and it still broke some basic stuff like bitshift operators.

Moreover, the lack of scientific libraries in Nim was more severe wrt Julia. Sure, writing C bindings in Nim is easy, but it is not a zero-effort job: you have to properly test them to check that types get converted correctly, and you have to write some documentation. Some guy is currently checking the quality of Nim libraries [1], and he gave very low scores for a few libraries of mine (rightly so, IMO, e.g., [2]) because they lack documentation.

Business Analysis: What Artifacts Do You Need to Start Development?
I'm the total minority here obviously but anyhow..

First of all if you have a camera indicator light that you can turn off in the software what you have is a very fundamental lack of understanding in the first place. There is no point in indicator lights at all if you are let them be controlled by software.

Second anyone who is using a cloud camera has automatically forfeit all right to his or her privacy, if you are this monumentally idiotic this insanely stupid to trust a random cloud provider with hundreds to thousands of hours of footage of your private home, you are so irresponsibly ignorant you should be arrested for it. Your children should sue you for the horrible privacy violation you committed on them and you should have to go to prison.
Are there any statistics on cumulative coal burn estimates by countries till date? (let alone per capita & country's resources)

I'm sure adoption of coal along with petroleum was well praised in the west during onset of industrial revolution.
That’s incredibly narrow-minded. You’re not “leaning on hearing”. You’re using all the information you can get. Hearing is vital.

How else would you know an ambulance is around the corner, about to run a red light? There are things you simply cannot see, no matter how hard you look.
I made an edit, I meant World Bank and USAID as they don't only lend to member countries.

I don't have sources I would quote, but I have enough to be told to look over there and see the cause and effect.

Developing countries are saddled with debt, and further crippled. Recipients of the debt are contractors. Austerity measures are needed to repay the debt, and the citizens are the ones burdened by it to help extract the country's natural resources to pay the debt.

Even IF an indictment of the World Bank is just crackpot conspiracies, it is a really good instruction manual. China's approach is running the same playbook but may even be more completely benign. Their industries have been entering emerging markets that others have decided not to effectively touch, without invading. Are they also running the regime change playbook too like the US did all last century? Time will tell. They are doing a lot for African markets. They don't need to be an "ally", everyone should be skeptical. Lightyears ahead of what the west is doing though.
>It looks like it's scheduled for closing from that graph?

It is not, it's going to be operating for as long as they can mine enough lignite from current mine (so until around 2037).

There are talks of opening new mine in Złoczew, that should support Bełchatów power plant for many years to come.

Also, Opole power plant is marked on this map as closing where it was just expanded this year and there are absolutely no plans of closing it.

The biggest appeal of twitter for me is being able to get insights into the technologies of my interest from the very people that develop and maintain them. Many of those developers, however, do not have the time or willingness to run a blog. And twitter, due to its short and straightforward format, is where they can easily engage in discussions and express opinions, from which I, the lurker, can extract applicable knowledge. The down side is that the same twitter format encourages the quantity-over-quality attitude, which results in me, the lurker, having to dig through layers of idle talk, announcements, and retweets.

> the shorter the format the worse it gets

I tried looking into longer-format platforms, namely medium, but much of the content there is either surface-level or does not instill confidence in its credibility.

Anyway, thanks for the great reply, it has certainly helped me build a clearer picture of what to expect, should I decide to join twitter. I guess, I should just stick to HN without needlessly dispersing my focus.

That's a problem I have with the paradox. While it's true for some high level cognitive skills, it's not true in general. The general purpose AI has proven to be as hard or harder than the sensory-motor skills. Otherwise, we would have HAL-like computers.

How to manage birth rates may indeed become a difficult political issue with extended lifespans. But in purely economic terms, if you could get another 40-50 years of healthy productive career out of the same human instead of having another one spend 18-26 years growing and getting expensive education and then also needing a lot of extra healthcare in the later years, then that would be an excellent efficiency improvement. Also, if individual humans routinely expect to live >100 years, then that gives them a stronger incentive to avoid choices that have a long-term negative impact.
And now we get into magical, unprovable territory. You can't prove the ads don't work so we better continue the status quo!

Even the C-class is pretty impressive (I got one and optioned it up because the E class is a bit too big for my city garage). I really, really appreciate just how freaking quiet it is inside when I’m driving downtown and how road noise is low even at freeway speeds. That’s got to be good for one’s hearing. And the safety record is impressive, not a single recorded fatality according to US government records despite its popularity. I hope they come out with an all-electric car soon (no I don’t mean their Smart cars).
There doesn't have to be such a connection. Of course different approaches are going to have their pros and cons relative to different tasks, but that doesn't mean we can overlook the inherent difficulty of the task in question. It's a mistake to assume that spatial navigation and interaction with the physical world, for example, must be inherently simpler tasks than abstract reasoning.
Yeah, I was thinking along the same lines. I mean, I'm as geeky as it gets, but I'm still "amused" by the fact that we have lightbulbs with a firmware and a reset procedure, books that need to be charged and fridges that tweet.
Ask HN: Solving climate change idea, and question, high speed train
Im seeing many friends traveling by air and renting a car at their destination, and these air travels are usually 3-4h by air but take 6-8h door-to-door, about 2000km if done by road. By car it would take on average 24h of continous driving to go north to south in Europe. Ridiculous.

Why dont we have high-speed trains in Europe which can load cars and go 250-300km/h and the trip would be done in 6-8h at most? Cars are limited to 150km/h and humans cant drive more than 3-4h anyway. Driving 9h continous would still only reach 1350km. High speed trains going average of 280km/H would do this in quality-time of 5h.

How can we improve the quality of high-speed train travel in EU? Offer this "take your (electric) car with you" would kick any air-offer off the table.

Why has train travel been so undeveloped for past 20 years in all of EU?
Difficult credit repair .

June 16th, 2017 Without reservation I heartily endorse Raymond Harleysville and his associates at South Creditrebuild Advisory for any business or personal credit repair problems. I am very impressed by Raymond’s methodical devotion to him very unique skill set. Raymond knows more about genuine and ethical and highly effective credit repair methodologies than any other credit professional in my underwriting association for commercial loans. Myself and my family are very grateful to have done business with him and his company. Please do not hesitate to contact him for any point of information in regards to this excellent credit repair process . I have been heavily involved as the founder and owner of a successful loan brokerage in the professional credit markets, including residential mortgages and commercial lending since 1986. Consumer and commercial Credit analysis and improvement has been a daily skill set mandatory for our business to succeed. I am writing to commend Raymond Harleysville and his associates at North Creditrebuild Advisory for an exceptional job in deleting a nasty disputed account with a stubborn and relentless cell phone creditor, Verizon from my wife’s personal credit profile. Suffice it to say I have seen and dealt with many firms claiming to be so called experts at ‘credit repair.’. Most are frauds in my experience. They charge a large fee to simply mail out credit disputes to the 3 bureaus Experian, Trans Union and Equifax and then charge another fee to do the exact same process again when it fails a few months later. The dispute mill process of endless disputes does not work in permanently removing negative credit reporting, even when the disputes are for a provable situation that you can document. Removing negative credit is an art form. The process that Raymond Harleysville and North Creditrebuild utilizes is proprietary and unlike produces results that are in my case spectacular. The untold hours I have spent with Verizon disputing an unjust $3,500. Bill were so severe that my wife wanted me to just pay it to get rid of the headache. But I wanted to do what was right. We did not owe the money so we hired Raymond. Again, him secret methodology for removing this potentially lethal late mark on our credit is him alone. I do not know how he removed the negative account but we got a letter from Verizon that said that we were never late and that our balance was $0.00! I almost fell out of my chair! Since the late Verizon mark has been deleted from our credit our scores jumped almost 120 points almost overnight. Our credit limits on our credit cards have been increased by $30,000. We just qualified for a new 2017 V Sport XTS Platinum Twin Turbo Cadillac for $94,000, at 2% interest. If you need him to work for you reach him at raycreditrebuild AT GMAIL DOT COM.
