It's a bit boring and serious, but I think that's exactly what they were aiming for. Specially since Google is now taking app reviews more seriously in both the Play Store and the Chrome Web Store for Chrome OS. Android has a reputation for being a wild west compared to iOS.

Ask HN: Opinions about Syscoin?
I've been seeing this a lot in the news lately, including in some serious publications like Bloomberg.

Here's a short summary of the technology and the people behind it: https://themerkle.com/what-is-syscoin/.

Everything they do is open source: https://github.com/syscoin.

I'm curious to hear if anyone here has started, or is planning to start using this for business purposes?
I can understand the opposition on a long enough timeline, but to dismiss it from the start is almost certainly a recipe for failure.
Not blaming myself, just grateful for getting this mess fixed. I cannot imagine working with tech like this on a daily basis, I'd probably ragequit in half a year
That's because the trade war is irrational.

It's based in animosity, which is typically economically detrimental:

Cool, an anti-swatting list.

A better solution IMO needs to also push liability onto companies that provide phone services but cannot provide the true originator to police.

Then stop charging swatting as anything other than premeditated attempted murder.
Something along these lines is necessary to save our planet. Cutting off the $650B in fossil fuel subsidies over the course of 15 years pay for a little over half of the plan.

If we can hand over trillions of dollars to save big banks, we can hand over what is necessary to save the planet.
> A prefetcher reduces cache misses by retrieving the data first

I'm struggling with that. To avoid a cache miss the prefetcher woul have to prefetch the data from memory so early, and memory is so slow, that an entire train of in-flight instructions could complete, and then likely have the CPU pause, before the fetch-from-ram completed.

I may be misunderstanding you though.

Came here to say that nuclear was missing. Sad. There are nuclear plant technologies available that can actually run on old nuclear waste, turning it into benign product, and are incapable of melting down.
This is BS.

The away message was invented by AOL "proggers" which included, amongst other features, the Away Message. This was long before AOL simply absorbed that feature. If you remember Fate/FateX, Sublime, Paladin, Magenta, and the other infinite number of tools many of them had this feature. AOL just copied it because like most awesome things, it was invented by the users' creativity.

I'm not an Android user, but I always had a passing interest in what the new version would be called.

While going to a numbering scheme like iOS is good for Spock, I just can't get behind yet another example of how the world of technology is becoming more boring and bland compared to the way it used to be. Often, in the name of "internationalization."

Unusual words, or novel uses of existing words, used to be part of the whole intellectual curiosity of the tech sphere.

For example, I learned about Maxwell's Demon[1] because of the Unix daemon. Today it would be called something boring like "system auto-task" that doesn't really do it justice.

It seems like the more corporate technology companies become, the more boring they become. And since tech companies influence so much of the world, they make the real world boring.

Remember when computer keyboards had red and blue and yellow keys? Modifier keys were labeled "meta," "super," and "hyper?"

And it's not just Google. Hey, Apple! Can I get the little Apple logos on my keyboard, and the light up beacon on the back of my laptop again?

Why is there this constant need within tech companies to make their products less special?

> There is no feature that Facebook has today that AIM didn’t have at some point 20 years ago.

The article mentions the Newsfeed; I don't know how the AIM team thinks distributed status messages (or whatever?) are analogous to the news feed, nor the community sharing/commenting/photos/etc.

But one thing Facebook DID have, when it was curated, was links to EVERYTHING. You could see who was taking the same class as you, even the same section. You could see who lived in the same residence hall. You could search/sort/filter on EVERYTHING. It was amazing.

It's not a detour, you have to pass LEO to get to GTO. Instead of the rocket pushing it to GTO the tug will take over. So the rocket has more payload due to only having to go to LEO.

There's just implicit and unexamined meta-physics in the "naive realist" paradigm. After all, you are the ultimate authority on what is real to you, but it takes raising your level of awareness to see this, otherwise you place authority somewhere outside yourself without realizing that the thing you're giving authority to is just your own sense perceptions and mental constructions. Which is fine because those are all necessary for your survival, but they're ultimately illusory and it's your human mind giving them all some sort of meaning, or in other words, literally creating the object to be what it is rather than an undifferentiated field of potential/nothingness/meaninglessness.

I just downloaded Atom for the first time a week or so ago.

I think this is a great resource:

https://github.blog/2016-08-19-building-your-first-atom-plug...

And I also notice there are a bunch of plug ins for writers out there (organizational, word count, outline your .md document and so forth).

I don't think I can spearhead the effort. My impression is an experienced Atom developer could knock it out in 12 hours (2 to build and debug it, 2 hours to fix complaints, and 8 hours to make it right after a few weeks). <- this guess is based on absolutely nothing other than a wild guess.

I don't understand why politicians always put forth "plans" that would never pass. Why not put forth realistic options that would pass? It's not wonder we can't tackle anything, much less climate change. Everyone goes so far on the spectrum that they can't garner votes for anything. It's ridiculous. This pleases the base, it does nothing more. And even at that, I'm sure the far flungs will say this isn't enough. Come to the middle.
The Army Corps of Engineers and New Orleans politicians have been pointing fingers at each other since before I was born and will continue to do so until after I'm dead and gone.

The USACoE is a federal organization, but keep in mind that there is no "federal territory" full of "federal people" that floats separate from the states that make up the US. Ultimately, these were human failures and most of the humans who made these errors in judgement likely lived in southern Louisiana.

Also, keep in mind that the USACoE and state and local governments are not as isolated as you might imagine. Funding for projects comes from a mixture of them. Local government is on the hook to maintain engineering projects after they're built. The UASCoE can only build to to the degree that they have funding. Case in point: the levee main project approved in 1965 after Hurricane Betsy was supposed to take 13 years. Katrina struck 40 years later, and the project was still only 60–90% complete. Of course, there were design failures too, but you can imagine that this puts pressure on the engineers to accept a cheaper, inadequate design because some levee is better that no levee at all.

Note also that USACoE and local politicians and employees are real people who know each other and work together. I wouldn't underestimate the impact of social pressure (and outright corruption) for the USACoE to agree to certain things they might not otherwise because powerful people on the local side are pushing them too.

Poor nations will continue to do whatever is most economically expedient to them. Does that mean burning down the rainforest? Overfishing oceans? Or any number of other environmentally unsustainable things? Yes, it does.

People do these things to make ends meet. Make their ends meet on condition that that stop doing $BadThing, and the problems stemming from e.g. burning the rainforest will diminish.

Heartbeat in artificial hearts is a problem, and a lot of thought and expenses are put into avoiding it. Both the pumping action, and the opening/closing of the valves, and also the blood flow disturbances cause damages to blood cell, and promote clotting. Nb, the later two are also relevant to artificial valves, which is why specialist materials & configurations are being used.

Any moving or flexing part is subject to wear and tear, and the risk of eventual breakdown, necessitating replacement surgery every few years. Open heart surgery is involved, somewhat risky, and puts the organism under significant stress by its very nature.

To the best of my (layman's) knowledge, pulse is not really needed by the body, and using smooth flow pumps causes no health risk. Of course there's the inability to check for the pulse or its tempo, as well as the mental impact of not having the expected sign of being alive.
Ah yep. I know how it feels to solve some random useless problem that shouldn't even exist in the first place. It still feels great (like solving any other real problem). But it's a psychological trap that makes you feel more invested in the horrible technology which created the problem in the first place.

It's like filling out useless bureaucratic government forms. You still get a hit of satisfaction once you finish filling them out even though deep down you know it was a massive waste of time and the whole process could have been much simpler.
I feel that a major part of the problem is misguided activism.

I'll give one example.

IMO, the solution to the energy problem is obvious: Nuclear. Nuclear is the safest, cleanest, and most stable form of energy production we have right now. It really works great. We should close all coal/gas plants and replace them with nuclear plants asap.
Nuclear's best feature is that it produces no carbon to the atmosphere, and right now, that should be our main concern. But it just so happens that it's also the safest form of energy (death per kwh) and the most stable (active production days per year). Plus we know how to take care of the nuclear waste. Sure it has disadvantages but the overall solution given our situation is totally clear.
[0]

The only reason this doesn't happen is the public's perception of nuclear being "evil" and radiation being scary. So no politician despite their good intentions can ever hope to rally the people behind them with this idea.

So we push wind and solar which are a joke. Especially given the urgency of the times. When we site "Renewable energy" we mean bio-mass. [1]. Bio-mass is just burn wood. It's renewable because it releases young carbon so its net-zero emissions.

Do you see nuclear as a stopgap between coal and renewable, or do you think that 100% renewable is not going to be possible?

I'm with you as being pretty pro nuclear, but if I'm making a plan to spend $16T, why even bother with half measures; just go straight for the future ideal.
>I really dislike how stuff like twitter and Instagram have become the standard form of reaching anyone, as I have neither and your messages can very easily become ignored due to the very nature of how these two social networks operate.

> Milton / argument is not dissimilar to a naive view of survival of the fittest. Yet in nature, we have altruism.

I don't understand the point you're trying to make. Altruism also contributes to higher fitness because altruistic communities transfer surplus resources to members in need, thus improving their odds to endure through hard times.
We are already completely broke; and the US annual GDP is 19.3T so I assume Bernie is going to print more counterfeit money to pay for this.
Uploading your package to scarf does not impact your code at all, all the payments and analytics is at the packaging and distribution level.

A lot of the optimism in the discussion here is misguided. Late life heart failure and COPD has systemic roots and a heart transplant will be an expensive and painful way of living a diminished life for a short time (see discussion on constant blood pressure/gastro bleeds and LVAD side effects). Be active, keep your BMI low, and control your blood pressure. Prevention is by far the best approach. It is great news for younger patients suffering heart failure from infection damage, congenital defect, et al., though, particularly given the disgraceful lack of organ donors. Make sure you are an organ donor.

Seems that building nuclear plants takes much too long to have any noticeable effect in the short term, better to take it off the table so that it’s not present as a red-herring.
Genuine question: if you had to pinpoint a small number of sources that led you to these opinions on renewables, EVs, recycling and nuclear power, what would they be?
> the notion that it's somewhat something to be ashamed of for an employee to leave its employer, while it's perfectly OK for the employer to terminate the employee at any time.

Did you just make this up? The stigma is the exact opposite. Western society makes it quite difficult to fire employees. Hell, it's even illegal to fire striking employees. You'd be hard-pressed to find any employer willing to fire an employee without thoroughly documented evidence of the employee's malfeasance.

The only time anybody gets fired is when they really really deserved it. In contrast, many employees leave their jobs capriciously with little to no consequence.
In those cases politicians set the goals. They did not pick how it was to be done. If NASA came back and said "we think we can put humans on the moon with a big catapult" and they were right, we would have built a big catapult. They set the goals and let the real professionals do the work.

What I dislike about this and other proposals is politicians specifically saying what technologies should and should not be used. That's the road to an expensive failure. Instead we should just tax carbon and set emissions goals and let the people who know how to build stuff build stuff.

We took a bunch of carbon from the earth and put it in the air, causing climate change. If we want to reverse climate change, we need to start pulling carbon from the air and putting that carbon back into earth.

How do you do that efficiently is going to be a challenge, sure, but one we need to undertake.
It doesn't matter. That's the beautiful thing about being the owner of Chrome, which kind of is "the web" now. Open specs and industry standards are basically what you propose and accept. And you get the data anyway regardless of these standards since you own the OS (Android), the browser (Chrome), and the search engine. So anyone else getting less data equals you being ahead of all others even more equals your risk of being disrupted is even lower.

I love Elm, but from a practical place, I think ReasonML is more fruitful to learn because of the fact that any valid ReasonML (sans JSX) is also valid ocaml, so you're nearly learning two languages at once.

I also feel the same way about F#, if you have any reason to care about C# or the .NET stack. It also can compile down to JS (and targets react)
In addition to that, wealthy nations developed by exploiting resources like forests and oil. Now we're asking less-developed nations not to do that. Instead, they need to leapfrog that phase of development, which will cost money they don't have.
This. Take your time. Baby steps. My wife and I use Vibrams as camp shoes for backpacking and I regularly wear them to the gym (treadmill) or around town.

You can replace all current nuclear generation in the US with solar and batteries in less than 2 years, for a lower cost (nuclear generators take at least 10 years to build, and almost always go over budget; some are never finished and abandoned [See Duke in Florida, ratepayers got soaked on a nuclear plant they gave up on]). Your point is spot on.

Nuclear lost (for commercial generation; edge cases like the Arctic circle and marine applications are still valid). It’s time we get over it and build as much solar, wind, and batteries as we can, and get Americans trained to deploy these technologies. Anything else is deck chairs on the Titanic. Drive out fossil fuel use through any means necessary.
