The same is true of cash. Almost all of the complaints I have seen with regards to cryptocurrency limitations are in the ways in which it resembles cash. The transactions are untraceable and permit criminals to hide transactions - same as cash. If lost to fraud or theft, no one will replace it - same as cash. If you are in legal trouble, the government cannot freeze the assets - same as cash. Compare cryptocurrencies to cash, rather than a balance claim made by a bank. With a credit card it's even closer, as nothing whatsoever would prevent someone offering credit backed by cryptocurrency rather than backed by USD offering a credit card with the same capabilities. Your credit card isn't 'your money' and you're not transferring money when you make a purchase with it. You are requesting a loan from a company, and that company is handling paying for the transaction. You then later settle that debt. It's quite different from cash in many ways.
It’s not about doing more than one thing at once, it’s about picking your battles. Leaders have a limited amount of what I call “credibility capital” (see https://jasonlefkowitz.net/2003/03/where_leaders_f_1/) they can use to get things done. The more of it you spend on issues unrelated to your core strategic concerns, the less you have available to spend on those.

Some leaders have tons of credibility capital banked away, so they can afford to freelance on the side. But freelancing is a luxury. Spend too much on that and you’ll fail at your main job.
Maybe once it was only leaders, but I think these days anybody can be harassed via their employer for saying controversial things on the Internet. I guess free speech still exists in non-controversial matters, and for people who don't have to worry about employment.

I'm not totally sold on this interpretation, I've interacted with enough territorial land that I got the impression it is completely left to the tribes. It may technically be "under federal jurisdiction" but if a treaty ceded any or most right to law enforcement then it's independent.
> #MeToo is not a “frenzy”; it is a global movement by individuals who have been harmed seeking to hold both bad actors and society-at-large accountable for ignoring systemic wrongs

I'll kindly disagree there, since those characterizations (the link to the "frenzy" interpretation is in the blog) are independently accurate of the movement.

Edit: the downvotes are tragically ironic.
On a 3 day backpacking in Wyoming trip I once ate a fist-full of Rubus phoenicolasius, thinking they were wild raspberries before I looked at the leaves and realized.... "those are not raspberries". Turns out they're fine...as anecdotal evidence shows... but now I'll generally conduct a thorough examination of the whole plant before eating anything; especially if I'm in a region in which I didn't grow up. When I'm home, I still eat all kinds of wild berries without really checking that thoroughly (strawberries, blueberries, cranberries -- both types, etc..).
I opt out of them all. Partly I object to being tallied up as a profit source for lawyers I've never met and who certainly are not working for me. But mostly, it entertains me to write them letters with, perhaps, less sincerity than they're used to receiving.

If I'm supposed to waste my time over their collusion with the supposed offender in order to legitimize their payday, they can waste theirs entertaining me so I actually get something out of it.
>The Chromium browser is only available as a snap in 19.10.

A little disappointing since snaps still have Windows 10-style unskippable updates and don't quite integrate with the system as normal deb packages would. What other debs are planned to be replaced by snaps?
It's stupidly easy to legislate against the results. Enforce drug laws against people shooting up in public. Problem solved.

The fact that the San Francisco public is too brainwashed to do so is a big part of why I would never consider taking a job there, and I can think of no greater karmic justice than the fact that they have to suffer the consequences of their idiotic policies towards homelessness.

Whatever rights "we want to extend people who [...] find themselves in conflict with 'civilized society'" shouldn't include defecating on and leaving discarded, infectious needles strewn over the streets of the most coveted neighborhoods in the United States.
Yeah. And after my quotes above, the author notes that even after realizing that the intense sickness is likely related to the mushrooms, they still kept denying it.

But they do find time in the article to pass some judgment on "busy" "city" folks and their presumed inability to endure silence. Even though that's a different kind of "judgment" than the kind demonstrated above, I find it somehow hard to be receptive to it... 8)
Interesting article but needs a bit more depth, for instance it mentions incredibly briefly the MX record

> The PTR (or reverse) record query is used to validate that the IP address is assigned to the same host that is resolved in the Mail eXchanger (MX) record query

It does not explain that when you try to send an email the MX record is what is referenced as to where the email should go, it also neglects to mention "round-robin" DNS or Anycast DNS which are used by to distribute the web and an important part of modern day internet usage.

From the article

This doesn't mean that the bulls in the catalog are genetically identical. They still had lots of different mothers, as well as grandmothers. But it does show that this system of large-scale artificial insemination, with farmers repeatedly picking top-rated bulls, has made cows more genetically similar. Meanwhile, genetic traits that existed in Holstein cows a generation ago have disappeared
Sure, but there seems to be somewhat of a gap between AT&T SVR4 release date (1989)[1] and the release of Solaris 2.0 (1992) [2], which was the first SVR4 based version - Solaris 1.0 was merely re-branded SunOS 4.x.

SVR4.2 was not released until 1992 however[1].

Solaris may have been the SVR4 "reference platform" for SPARC hardware, but the other official hardware platform at release was the mainstream x86, which Solaris did not support until 2.1 in 1993.

Also I have a bunch of SVR4 install floppy images here, and for some reason I don't believe it installs TCP/IP support by default. I should go back and check now.

This is why "plug in hybrid" is such an attractive setup. You can get a decent EV only range, and then hybrid like MPG once that's exhausted.

I vaguely remember file upload/download using Kermit, but it's been so long ... I'm not sure this should be part of "shell integration", though.

However, I could be open to adding it to DomTerm, if I can understand the benefit and usage. What would you use this feature for and what should the user interface be? It only makes sense when connecting to a remote computer - but I assume you'd use ssh for that. In which case you could use zssh - or scp. Please explain why these are insufficient.

With a text editor that understands YAML, I have yet to see a significantly better option for software configuration files. TOML is a decent option as well.
Let me correct myself: Oath (formerly Yahoo) and Bing. However, that's still not right. It's now Verizon Media (formerly Yahoo) and Bing, not Oath.

DDG was originally using Yahoo and Bing. Yahoo was thrown under the Oath umbrella along with AOL, Tumblr, Engadget, etc. when they were acquired by Verizon. I assume for transparency, DDG stated they use "Oath (formerly Yahoo) and Bing" on their Sources help page to indicate who they're actually making the deal with.[0] However, I guess Verizon has changed the Oath name to Verizon Media, so now it's "Verizon Media (formerly Yahoo) and Bing".

But, to answer your question. It's just a long winded way of saying Yahoo.

The downside to sitting at the galley exit is that other passengers are constantly walking up to this space to do their stretches or wait for their turn in the toilets. But the 787 has do much room that it wasn't really an issue for me.

I also found the armrest table and entertainment screen a little better. I liked that I could tilt the screen away from me or turn it for better privacy from my neighbour. I also liked that the pop out table could be 'halved' if I just wanted a drink on it or to rest my phone or ipad on it while charging. I still had room beside it to have a pillow or magazine in my lap.
I don't see why this could possibly get downvoted, it's absolutely true. If you do have a "hard and fast" rule in mind, it may work in your region but not in other places.
The hard part of juggling startup risks feels more of the reverse of what Ben's remembering.

It's not that you need to spot a ball is about to drop and catch it. Founders are up at 2am and every e-staff & advice meeting thinking about them & then acting on them. However, running at all of them will give you a heart attack, burn out your team, and derail your mission.

Instead, you have to accept that a ton of balls are dropping, and somehow get good at guiding which & how. Now that's a chapter I'd like to read :)
Despite short memory leading to white washing of systemd adoption history...

Systemd hot big adoption jump through a single project that's been essentially controlled by Red Hat for years: GNOME.

GNOME version 3.8 was broken if run without logind, which meant systemd. Officially the answer was that logind wasn't dependant on systemd. Unofficially the spec and docs were worse than MS' proprietary protocols, and most distro faced option between dropping GNOME or embracing systemd. Non Linux systems which were supported before were of course dropped totally. Canonical for short while tried to implement separate logind implementation - they gave up after short time. One OpenBSD developer spent years of time making GNOME post-3.8 usable without systemd again.

Meanwhile, it was known for 2~3 years that RHEL 7 and CentOS 7 will use systemd.

Essentially, Red Hat pulled an Embrace, Extend, Extinguish on other distro.
Addis Ababa to DC was a 17½ flight when I took it. Since it lands in Rome or Dublin to refuel, it doesn't count as a non-stop flight but on the fuel stops they don't pull up to the terminal. You're stuck in the plane so it's only slightly better than being in the air. It did cure me of my previous hatred of coast to coast flights in the US. They seem so short now. Used to be I'd always arrange a stop half way.
I am trying to follow up what is going on, but it is funny how as a non native speaker all these pronouns and gender discussions are alienating. I heard people saying to use neutral pronoun - but the one I learned was It, which sounds very strange. This seems so incendiary that I would never post in a public forum in English with my real name anymore, god knows who will dig my comments in the future. I don’t share the same culture and I don’t understand this nuances and how is appropriate to approach native English speakers (especially if they need special care with words). I work in one of the fortune 100 companies out of US - and we are getting trainings about this stuff but nobody understands much - people just look at each other puzzled and lost. This is really unfair to non native speakers, to add all these new rules and cultural assumptions - in my case is my working language.
There's ambiguity between the formal classification of homelessness as used by the city and organizations, and other connotations such as the street homeless. People across the spectrum seem to abuse this and similar terminological ambiguity to suit their particular argument or rhetorical point.

There's also the fact that self-reporting regarding things like previous residence, drug use, etc is unreliable. I've always found it odd that some people on HN are so credulous of these numbers even though in other contexts they'd be the first to point out that self-reported data makes bad science.

This doesn't mean the numbers are wrong, just that we should have very large error bars which grow as we make inferences. If we combine ambiguity regarding homelessness with an already substantial number like 35%, and tack on issues like mental illness, it's hardly a stretch to say that drug use and mental illness are the principle problems for the seeming intractability of street homeless reduction.
And so did Amazon for the longest time, and also to much controversy.....

This older piece explains it more 'eloquently' than I can [first third is about Amazon running 'no profit,' the rest is colorfully comparing that to national deficit].

The metric you really want to follow in these cases is revenue growth over time. Cloudflare is a great example. They run a very successful business while still technically "at a loss". However, with numbers showing almost 50% rev growth since last year.

Perfect IoT device would include an internal scripting language (ideally standardized and easy to grasp, embedded python/js/lua etc) and API exposing all of gadgets hardware. This way user/owner/external service providers could supply their own script snippets implementing desired functionality. Aka general computing.

Imaging buying "smart light" thats actually smart enough to do what you want it to do.
Last commit was like 2 years ago...
I think you need to pick a better example. I don’t believe a CEO saying “diversity is important, but not our only goal” would be pilloried by either of the currently polarized sides, while one that said “diversity is the best” would, likely, be pilloried by one side.
This is real scary. One genetic flaw exploited by say a virus could wipe out the entire dairy industry.
Thank you... this pretty much sums up most of my disgust regarding XML in general. And while JSON is more universal, YAML is much more accessible for humans.

> 1. Reeeeeally loosely defined, since AFAICT Facebook isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

I have an interesting approach. Maybe it falls flat on its face, but maybe it could work.

Create a "liberally themed" Facebook clone and onboard a bunch of people during the run up to the election. Give them tooling under the guise of campaigning, but also get them to use Facebook like features.

Ban any conservative thought or commentary. It's harsh, it's undemocratic, but it plays into the attack. Especially if you can drum up press coverage on Fox News.

Hypothetically, a polarized platform could create a stir. Maybe liberals on Facebook get interested. Maybe it leads to a small migration. This furthers the right-leaning polarizarion of Facebook's userbase, causing more liberals to flee. Thermal runaway.

This "Facebook is for Republicans" narrative is aided by the recent rumors that Zuckerburg has been meeting with Republican leaders about campaign advertising.

If you completely brain drain Facebook of the liberal demographic and make it skew far right, are the engineers, predominantly liberals, going to continue to be excited coming to work to build that product?

I think it's an interesting approach. It's far-fetched and kind of sneaky, but I'd love to see something like this attempted.

It would prove a new vector of attack for entering the social space. Something that even Instagram might be vulnerable to.

It got messed up when I was trying to format it, unfortunately. But my point still stands.
Although it's not quite the same thing, this reminds me a bit of amnesic shellfish poisoning. In addition to all the terrible gastric problems ASP has the curious side-effect of severe permanent anterograde amnesia, where all memories before the incident are retrained, but the poisoned individual can't create new long term memories. So they're limited to working memory which only lasts a few seconds.

However research has shown that some specific types of long term memories can be still be made. For instance if an amnesiac individual is asked to draw the same image repeatedly, they may still improve in speed and efficiency without any apparent conscious memory of having drawn the image before.

> The theory that some gender differences in occupation choice are caused by discrimination is both controversial and unproven.

Its certainly not controversial that _some_ of the discrepancy is caused by discrimination. It is very obviously true historically for many careers. Consider medicine, where women were relegated to nursing because they couldn't cut it as physicians. Today that idea seems absurd, and of the brightest people I met in medical school, there was a fairly even split of men / women. So far medicine was more challenging than the typical programming job I"ve held, which is at least partially relevant.

To be clear I am certainly not arguing that 50/50 is the natural distribution of men/women among programmers. I have no idea what it is. But I'll bet it is higher than 98/2, which is about the ratio in the last 4 programming jobs I've held.

Lastly, I have two young daughters now. Its been a bit shocking to me to see how early they are inundated with messaging steering them towards being pretty, dressing like a girl, etc. I have no doubt the lingering stereotypes and cultural pressure steers women into so called traditional roles from an early age.
YAML is pretty close to the same as JSON for import/export functionality. There are even converters to transform through JSON for this data... there's no reason not to use it similarly.

If you're using a language that doesn't have an open-source package/module for YAML, I'd be surprised.
I see. I wonder if my hypothesis is still valid, even given lower quality rigidity. Human arms aren't made of big heavy metal rods, yet we can still draw beautifully. Couldn't cameras and software compensate for cheap unstable draw arms?
My mom came to visit me one time and forgot to tell the mom of one of the kids she was tutoring the week before that she would be out of town and she didn’t have her number. The mom was from my hometown and I knew her from high school. We were Facebook friends but I didn’t have her number either. I sent her message on messenger and she responded immediately.

Facebook Messenger is like the ultimate opt in for contacts. People you don’t know at all get filtered when trying to contact you, but people you know tangentially or see once every few years are still reachable. I would have no reason to have this person’s number.

There are plenty of people that I might contact about something but I wouldn’t have their number.

I was also planning a surprise for my wife’s birthday and coordinating for her to have a girl’s night out with her friends. I wouldn’t have her friends numbers, but I was able to message them.
Just don't use your real name. You can post any controversial opinion you like on the internet but don't tie it back to your real identity if you don't want real world consequences. The internet is still a massive improvement to freedom of speech.
Or imagine a CEO saying "there isn't authoritative evidence that racial diversity would benefit our company, and bringing race into hiring decisions is inherently discriminatory." At least 40% of the country more-or-less agrees with that position, but basically any CEO would lose their job for saying it. While publicly supporting racial discrimination in favor of underrepresented groups is almost mandatory.
What really caught me off-guard in the I didn't see that coming sort of way was that someone named their Bull "Round Oak Rag Apple Elevation" -- that strikes me as an oddly long and specific name. Everything else is, perhaps, bothersome, but not terribly "surprise!".

In my point of view, theres a cultural ocidental tradition to fight uncertainty at any cost.

This lead us all to a very good economical and technological progress so far, but in a lot of cases i see this fight going too far, where we have pseudo-objective schemes of validation that are completely worthless and while they look a whole lot more 'scientific' their results are no better than rolling a dice.

We need to be aware that people validating this kind of stuff are using patterns based on their former experience to validate better what they are judging.

We need to pay attention and learn with their experience, but also be aware that their denial doesnt necessarily mean you wont make it, because its actually impossible for them to tell you this for sure.

They can only try to calculate who have better chances to succed. And a LOT of people that will actually succed wont get squared up in those patterns, because they are based in past events that are unlikely to repeat (paradigm shifts are pretty hard to predict for instance, because a lot of them come from 'black swan' kind of events).

So you maybe you have a bussiness plan so risky they will calculate that you are likely to fail, they are probably very good to understand the percentage of your sucess/fail rate.. but they hardly can understand your human value to deliver that dream, because this is most in the uncertainty arena.

Maybe some of them will follow their 'gut feeling' and do a very good bet.. but this is beyond what can be extimated, calculated or measured and we need to be very aware of that.

Theres no better teacher than persistence, but one that can learn with its mistakes. And this human-gold value along with others hardly will get detected over some pattern-based human radars.

So my main point is, in the end is up to you to create the means to succeed, and a lot of them have to do with human qualities where most of them cant be measured that way.
