It's quite possible, as long as the cost of the current ASICs out there is less than a billion. You can match the current world rate and secretly mine. It would be a combination of buying your own miners and renting hashrate, but mostly it would be renting. Maybe paying a big mine to do it for you.

When I saw the initial math, they said 40 days. But that doesn't include the fact that as you buy hash power, it's price would go up. But to secretly mine for a week before reorganizing the chain would be very possible with this amount of money.

I wonder if you could put in a checkpoint system. And if that could even be decentralized.
Maybe the problem isn't so much that Lisp is too easy, but rather that there's no central repository for Lisp modules? Everybody runs into the "I need a GUI environment" and doesn't have anywhere to search for the 30 other GUIs that have already been written and never published so they write their own. A centralized repository for these could help a lot, especially if it enforces documentation standards before accepting modules.

It's a cultural issue with all of the pre-Internet languages. Even titans like C and C++ lack a well defined repository outside of their stuffy standards committee defined standard libraries. CPAN showed how powerful a resource like that can be 25 years ago and almost every language since has shipped with something similar, but old languages never seem to have caught on.
> If Google went down tomorrow, we have what, Bing?

If it's down for a day, Bing is fine. If it's down forever, we have access to $100 billion per year in venture capital to chase one of the greatest economic opportunities in world history. It'd be an extraordinary gold rush that would draw in dozens of start-ups.

Europe would also produce several dozen new search start-ups attempting to take a piece of Google's former market position. It'd be a fun time with a lot of experimentation. Would we end up doing New Search mostly the same way we do Google Search today, just with more competition (or only until there's another winner takes all)?

I'd like to chime in, although may be a bit late.

One book I will never get tired of reading over and over again is:

The Little Prince
by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

There's just something magical on that book which even to this day brings a lot of essence on how I understand and value life.

This book traverses generations, and is always a good read regardless whether you are at a schooling age or even close to retirement.
Typically, you choose where to optimize after collecting metrics.

The .Net garbage collector is a highly optimized generational garbage collector. Practices like pre-allocating and pooling are discouraged, because most of the time they are premature optimization.

In general, the best way to think about it is to pretend that the garbage collector is a built-in library for pooling and reusing objects.

If, early in your project's lifecycle, you suspect that you'll need to implement your own object pool, just start with stub "Get/Recycle" methods that call new / no-op. You can always swap in a pool later.
Sounds more like an access suggestion than control to me
Show HN: The Whole Code Catalog
Today I am releasing two years of research that I did with a new programming language startup, Dark[1].

The Whole Code Catalog[2] is a review of two-dozen programming-ish tools, designed to inspire the creators of our next generation of computational interfaces. In other words, this is not a review of more traditional programming languages we already know a lot about, like Python and C, but of interesting but less-well-known ones for programmers, like Smalltalk, Eve, Retool, and Zapier.

Yeah. We've tried this, also sharing typescript code, but we've decided that sharing the same business logic code everywhere just isn't worth all the extra work to do so.
>I fail to see how the hologram concept explains anything.

Think about where Classical Physics breaks down (at the big bang and black holes/singularity).

So if you, as a higher dimensional being, fall into a black hole (a lower dimensional space) where does all that higher dimensional information go? Well like a hologram, the idea is the information gets recorded on the surface of a black hole, or event horizon. In short its like a 3D object being able to exist in/on a 2D plain.

If a hologram doesn't work for you, maybe try thinking about fractal geometry where the perimeter of an object can measure infinity while simultaneously the volume is perfectly measurable and well defined.
That's a bit too simplistic view.

It is true that MEPs lack the right of initiative, as in, they can't introduce laws, only the commission can. I do see this as a major democratic deficiency of the EU system. But there are some valid reasons why this is the case, which is way too off topic to go in to here.
That's because the TPP contains clauses gifting an override of sovereignty and the political will of the people agaisnt Corporations. Any country attempting to regulate a modern asbestos would find themselves under massive financial penalties.

You need look no further than Philip Morris v. Uruguay to understand the fundamental absolute danger of investor-state dispute settlement to the people of a country.

As such, it was rightly opposed as it had been poisoned by greed against the people. The TPP was profit over people as a result. They could've opposed china with it, but some western oligarchs would've eventually weaponized it against the people.

Disclaimer: I'm aware tobacco interests were explicitly carved out of the TPP. That doesn't save us from anything else in the future, it just shows the root problem of profit over people remained in the TPP.

Not the one you're responding to, but there are many cases where Python is used in the role of a shell script replacement eg. build scripting and test suite automation that wouldn't benefit from migration and, in fact, would suffer from half-assed migration attempts with little or no real-world testing.

Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) potential biomarker identified
It is very common for employment offer letters in the US to clearly specify that employment is offered at will. This status has slightly different exceptions by jurisdiction, but in general, it means the agreement can be terminated at any time by either party.

Most people summarize this as "you can be fired for no reason", because that's the most commonly discussed scenario. But, your employer doesn't have to terminate your employment to terminate your employment agreement.

http://www.ncsl.org/research/labor-and-employment/at-will-em...

> At-will also means that an employer can change the terms of the employment relationship with no notice and no consequences. For example, an employer can alter wages, terminate benefits, or reduce paid time off.

Now, they can't do this retroactively, but they can do it with zero notice.

> Penny pinching and then dying a millionaire sounds awful, because what's even the point of having all those millions if you lived like you had nothing the whole time?

Building generational wealth for your progeny.

GP said their grandfather died a multimillionaire. That money can go to his children; managed well over their lifetime it will double several times over. And learned frugality on their part means they have an even greater sum to hand to any children they have (like GP!)

And if a catastrophe struck - be it a local one like joblessness or divorce, or a global financial crisis, whatever - grandfather knows that his austerity guaranteed his children shelter, food, and education in the future. That's a powerful reason to make decisions. Hell, in our animal brains, that's probably one of the most powerful drivers of decisions: what should I do to benefit my family?

GP said nothing about liquid funds, and this thread is mainly talking about people's life savings.

in this context, one million dollars is really not much. if you have no job or pension, one million in assets grants you the ability to spend about $40k a year safely. you could certainly have a comfortable retirement this way, but it would be far from a luxurious lifestyle.
If it's any consolation, it's common that children labeled 'gifted' early, either don't live up to the label or are affected by the label negatively.

But the parent doesn't say that.

It says that most people are rich because their parents are rich. Not because they inherited their wealth. Stable home life, good schools, good network, good attitude and a financial backstop in the event of disaster (which allows a higher risk appetite) are all things that correlate positively with becoming rich. Your parents can give these without a penny of inherited wealth.
I think as long as Apple does not have a monopoly, history has shown us that competition will take care of this.

If Apple clamps down on 3rd party apps to the point where it is no longer serving its user-base, the user base has many good alternatives, and Apple would lose business.

I think the Spotify example is a good one; if Apple kicked off Spotify, there could be millions of people switching to Android just because of that. Apple might love the idea that only Apple Music should exist on their iPhone (in fact they was kinda Steve’s original vision) but they can’t get away with it specifically because they would be clobbered by the competition if they tried.

Even as (if) Apple’s reputation shifts away from “walled garden that protects you from junk and malware and spyware” toward “overlord trying to control what you can buy” this causes some users to leave.

As long as there’s viable competitors, I’d rather let users vote with their wallets. This is actually the best way to give people the choice of which system you would prefer using. If the fully open system is preferred by most users then most users will choose that product. But because there are actually huge trade-offs and very hard unsolved problems with a fully open system, it’s important to provide consumers both options.
Sure. But if you write some code (or update a dependency) and it breaks with spooky action at a distance, the first thing you should do is to pay off your tech debt and add type signatures to find the breakage, before thinking about changing TS.

The github comment says:
" (I might suggest the underlying problem in this code is relying on inference too much, but the threshold for "too much" is difficult to communicate to users.)"

The first part is exactly right; the second part is well established in the Rust language spec and Haskell style guides like http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~cis552/current/styleguide.html

Is rails really that good? I feel so confused and paralyzed trying to find a modern backend framework. I've almost settled to Python+Django because it enforces good practices,has great tools like Django Rest Framework and Python is a language with huge application field. On the other hand, laravel and rails have so strong communities and feel more modern (for example, integration with front end frameworks). Django just seems left behind. So the question boils down to this: Should I invest my time learning django in 2019?
I believe so. The dates above were just the ones from the map.

This action does more than that. The court left the preliminary injunction against LinkedIn in place: "The district court granted hiQ’s motion. It ordered LinkedIn to withdraw its cease-and-desist letter, to remove any existing technical barriers to hiQ’s access to public profiles, and to refrain from putting in place any legal or technical measures with the effect of blocking hiQ’s access to public profiles."

So LinkedIn is prohibited from blocking hiQ's access by technical means. That's a strong holding. If this case is eventually decided in favor of hiQ, scrapers can no longer be blocked. Throttled a little, maybe, but no more than other users doing a comparable query rate.

It appears that Hurricanes are fairly clustered when broken down by decades so that the most active time period for category 5 hurricanes was the 2000's with the second most active being the 1930's followed by the 1960's. It's also difficult to determine the actual number of Cat 5 hurricanes in the past because previously they could only be measured roughly at Landfall and more modern measures can monitor any hurricane in existence meaning that there will be an increase in Cat 5's because of measurement bias. The impact of this is unfortunately, almost impossible to say with certainty. This is all covered in the first few paragraphs of the link you posted.

To claim a 3x increase would be an example of binning your data to exaggerate effect.

So high doses reduce mineral density but have no effect on strength? How is that possible? Is strength not a function of density?

As a real-world analogue: you can indeed be guilty of trespassing on someone's property even if you don't have to jump over any fences or pick any locks to get there. In some places, they don't even have to have a "no trespassing" sign. Simply being present on someone else's property without an invitation from them is illegal, and no, an open door does not count as an invitation.
According to the ruling, a cease and desist letter directly demanding that they not scrape the site didn't count as access control, so one would assume that humans.txt wouldn't either. It needs to be a technical prevention like a password, access token, etc.

> But I suppose that's difficult to visualize in a well human-readable way.

It's not. The type-checker must have constructed a call stack of inferred types in order to find the violation, so it simply has to print all the calls (source line and line number) and the types it deduced, and let the programmer (or IDE) compare that to the code in context and look for surprises.

For the record, once you reply you prevent him from deleting his comment.
I tried using it with Angular, but it doesn't seem to help much. For example, if you have something like:

<button (click)="login(email, pass)" />

And then a TypeScript function like:

login(email: string, pass: string) {

}

TypeScript can't help you at all here because all the typing is determined at runtime by Angular. Even if `email` is a number or a boolean, no problem, it will just happily pass it in.

What benefit, then, does TypeScript provide? I understand it's compile-time guarantees, but how does that help if the types are coming in from HTML land which the TypeScript compiler doesn't examine at all?
Yes, that's the point I was trying to make - your country would have to be willing to participate. That's risky, albeit to varying degrees, depending on the country a person/business reside in because governments can change their opinion at any moment or enter in new agreements to combat whatever they may deem as "global crime".

They probably just have different blends of city/highway/speeds. Just like how gasoline cars have different estimates from different testing agencies, electric cars do too because they all have different efficiency curves.

The ratings generally try to mimic the driving conditions of the region and automakers tend to optimize for their home turf. So it's not too surprising the American automaker does better on the American test and the Europeans do better on the European test.
