Most of your reasoning hinges on spread of electric cars and electric planes. If that doesn't come to pass, oil will still be in huge demand. EVs have been in existance for almost a decade and now and they're still only 1% of US car sales: https://www.greentechmedia.com/articles/read/us-electric-veh...

If you extrapolate their upward line forward, it'll take an extremely long time before % of EVs becomes greater than 50%.

And as for electric air travel, as far I know it's not even happening yet in the commerial passenger planes and the air travel industry moves even slower than the automative industry.

In 100 years ago, I would agree with you. But, for now, we're stuck with using oil for quite a long time.
Just because you don't think to yourself "oh, the A is bent and the B has a belly" doesn't mean you don't percieve it. The goal isn't to make you appreciate the typography, it's to make you think about the company in a certain way.

I didn't notice the A being bent outward until it was pointed out either, but i did notice a sense of informality and friendliness in the mark, and that comes from details like the A being bent.
That's in recent years, of course. Previously, POWER was the architecture for Apple computers, as well as the Sony PlayStation 3.
They added just enough of a curve to the 'A' and 'K' to irritate me, and not enough for it to be actively noticeable.

Agreed. This is clearly a pivot to a younger user base.
yep, this is a really important point. author subtly glosses over the notion that Switzerland was always more than shady banks, but this isn't clear to me at all; shady financial stuff is basically swiss bread and butter.

in Europe, one study:

> we estimate that close to 40% of multinational profits are shifted to tax havens globally each year. The non-haven European Union countries appear to be the main losers from this shifting.

ref: https://www.nber.org/papers/w24701

also ref: "swiss sidestep" and how multinationals basically launder money thru Switzerland:

https://www.opendemocracy.net/en/oureconomy/transfer-mispric...

lastly that Swiss banks actively obstructed justice during Obama's DOJ investigation. then the US sent them money to bail them out, allowing Credit Suisse/UBS to largely escape 2008 financial meltdown and continue to help wealthy US individuals evade taxes. to be fair this has changed as Switzerland is way more hostile to US tax evasion now, but they don't have a good record here.
Why not 3 or 5? Or, dunno, 20?
That number might not move if Zeta's form never sends the confirmation email, which, thus far, seems to be the case.
as to where, is internet infrastructure this bad in US? Even something like 35C3 had 500gbit pipe last year https://media.ccc.de/v/35c3-9576-35c3_infrastructure_review
That ballast would then make the truck use even more fuel, which wouldn't make much sense.
Specs and spec configurations are only a small piece of what makes a good dev laptop. Is it ergonomic and lightweight? Is the trackpad large and the keyboard comfortable to type on for extended periods of time? How tightly does the hardware integrate with the software (i.e.: can I use multi-touch gestures on the trackpad to move through my environment quickly)?

Say what you will about Apple and how they treat developers (read: not well), but the modern MacBook Pro (sans touchbar) is truly a great dev machine.

That's doesn't include the main catch nations who didn't sign up to the IWC, or later left it, just what's reported to the IWC by member nations. Norway never joined, and Iceland left IWC for instance. Canada and Denmark (Faroes) can exceed that amount just between the two of them. Some nations have long and significant history of fraudulent reporting -- most excessively the Russians.
Start working on you health. Learn to play a musical instrument. Or learn a new one if you already play one.
It sounds like you're upset a game with mass appeal has mass appeal, because the very things you don't like about the game are what make it popular: you can play it on your phone, you can bling out your character with various skins (paid and unpaid), it appeals to the group of consumers with the largest amount of free time (and who set the trend for the gaming industry as a whole), etc.

That's how Fortnite got popular, and now it's using the spotlight it grabbed to innovate in the storytelling space, but all you want to talk about are the very things that end up being true about nearly every single AAA game released by any major studio in the past 5 years.

In other words, you sound grumpy, and you seemingly would rather take away the imperfect toy (and completely ignore its storytelling style) than see the incremental progress it's making as something of potential genuine literary value to be nurtured and grown.
I'm all in on the concept that Tether is a fraud. However, isn't it slightly premature to file a lawsuit over losses? The latest price charts still have tether at $1~=1USDT. If you have Tether and are worried about its liquidity, shouldn't you just sell Tether to someone who wants it in exchange for something else?

Or is there some kind of problem with doing that transaction that I'm not aware of? Maybe some limitation that's not reflected in the price charts?

Edit: I see that this is not actually about Tether's liquidity at all. Instead, the accusation is that Tether was used to pump and dump Bitcoin, and those who suffered damages under this theory are people who bought Bitcoin at the top.

The main "issue" I have is that if you write a "bubble" sort backwards, then its suddenly insertion sort instead and much more efficient.

For people who know about knots out there... its like asking for somebody to tie a Granny Knot instead of a square-knot. Anyone who actually practiced knot-tying will "accidentally" tie a square-knot instead (because the square-knot is stronger for the same level of effort).

Similarly, bubble sort is the "bad" way to write insertion sort. Anybody who actually practiced writing sorts will write insertion sort by accident instead.
As a mathematician first (only an amature programmer), I wholeheartedly agree.

So far, I have a 20-minute video that is clearly mostly not about the Dai peg, and a link to a very wordy "paper". I skimmed both, and the answer is apparently "oracles", or a price feed from several crypto exchanges. That's a really simple answer, that doesn't need burying in layers of cryptobabble and an attitude that I can only describe as condescending.
Solar energy isn't currently usable for personal vehicles, and it's going to be a little while still before that changes. Even if we could magically make cars and trucks all battery-EVs tomorrow, most of our power is still generated from fossil fuels, not solar power, and that's not likely to change soon, though it is of course slowly getting better. The more fossil fuels we burn, the more CO2 we put in the atmosphere, and accelerate climate change.

Sure, if we could overnight make all cars and trucks into battery EVs, replace all fossil fuel power plants with solar PV arrays (and wind farms too, since those are basically driven by solar energy too, though indirectly), and come up with some kind of storage technology to handle nighttime, high latitudes, clouds, still air, etc., then the energy aspect wouldn't be such a big deal. (Even better if we can make battery-EV airplanes.) But we're not there yet, and it's not likely we'll be there for quite a while unfortunately.

And even if we did accomplish that, that still doesn't solve the space problem. There just isn't enough room for everyone to have a big suburban house in a nice place with mild weather, and drive a personal vehicle everywhere. But if we tore down our car-based cities and rebuilt some just like Tokyo with that kind of density (and honestly, it really isn't as dense even as Manhattan; there's a lot more tall skyscrapers in NYC), then we actually could, while simultaneously having far, far fewer car-related deaths, and also having a much healthier population.

I have an Ubuntu XPS 13 for some years, I like it.
Facebook should split their engineering services into its own layer, similar to AWS. They can then sell social media services to fb, ig, wa, and any competitor willing to pay.

They could allow sites to white label the fb identity system, and offer their own isolated dir. They could sell anti-evil(spam/hacking)-as-a-service. They could sell localization. They could sell messaging infrastructure and image hosting.
In non-coastal America, most of the pickup trucks you see on the road are empty.
Google has largely solved the spam problem for end users. What I can't figure out is why platforms like Facebook and Twitter couldn't mark these sort of posts as, essentially, spam, by the same sort of rules and heuristics as email spam. Why can't they look at the metadata of verified troll-farm-generated clickbait/junk/spam/fake news, and make their own filters, and demote that content?

Simple. Because they're making money on the garbage. It's a misalignment of incentives. Until that is fixed, through reorganization or regulation, the problem will persist. They will only do enough to fight this -- both in terms of technology and public image -- so that it doesn't impact their bottom line(s).
Without the Right to Modify, it is very difficult to guarantee any of the other rights I've listed. Most of the rights I list have provisions explicitly outlining that users have the right to circumvent DRM, captchas, and other technological locks that prevent them from exercising their rights.

Without the Right to Modify, anyone could restrict any of the other rights on this page just by flipping a few bits in software and calling it DRM. Imagine if a website operator could sue Gorhill because Ublock Origin circumvented anti-adblocking measures in clientside code.
So in short, a price feed from several crypto exchanges. Thanks!
Unix is not old, it is kept up to date quite well.

Could you elaborate further?
Would you say the same about Gold?
> I’m against corporations becoming their own extra judicial entities.

They already are, with most disputes being settled with Binding Arbitration rather than via the court systems.

Others have already pointed out though, that a company needs to act in its own interests and one of the things it would certainly find interesting is whether an individual is capable of being coerced into sabotaging/sharing corporate trade secrets.

I just wish that Electron apps had a warning label applied so I won't accidentally download them.
I seem to have slipped through these cracks easily. When I do anything that involves pulling my credit, it's a hassle because I give my correct address information, however the credit agencies have out of date information.

Tips to slip through the cracks: have a different mailing vs home address, dont apply for new loans/update work info with existing creditors over more than one job cycle, move frequently. When your credit card asks how much you make, they are doing so because the agency doesnt have good info on you and they are updating their files.
I have this problem too. E-mail addresses are terrible identifiers.

So many services fail to implement validation loops, and their customer support teams have no process when I call. The presumption everywhere is that a provided e-mail address is correct. Even after I explain the situation, some representatives will refuse to help because I couldn't validate a birthday or last-four of a credit card.
>The personal transportation industry will go through the biggest change it ever has in the next decade. Bigger than horse + buggy -> automobiles. An electric car will be cheaper to operate and maintain. Production of EVs will proliferate even countries like China (already happening), India (already happening), and others. Autonomous ride networks, especially in dense urban areas, will also take a massive market share. The need for individuals to own vehicles will decrease in urban and even suburban environments. Couple that with almost any good or service you need being delivered to your door "instantly", the vehicle is no longer needed. The rise of remote working will also contribute to this. Yes, some people like their SUVs/Trucks, but that will pail in comparison to the reduction elsewhere.

You give no reason at all why you think any of this is true.

>Towards the end of the decade, we will also have short length, all electric aircraft operating.

This is quite optimistic. Realistically, this market is yet to be proven viable at all, and even if it is it's likely to be much more than a single decade (assuming you didn't actually mean the "end of the decade" coming two months from now) to reach beyond the prototype stage.

>Natural Gas growth long term... no way. Not happening. Within this decade, we will see the price of solar and batteries drop to levels never before imagined.

Again, why? All of this is pie-in-the-sky optimism without any attempt at justifying it.

Also it depends on your type of application but I am seriously considering using 3D rendering library as a basis for multiplatform GUI. This one does not look too native but it looks like it may be the leanest, fastest option. This would require some groundwork first.

Congrats on your launch - this is fantastic, and I'll be signing up for a pro account. To echo what others have said here, having an $89 lifetime option made this an easy decision -- great value-for-money price point, and I don't have to worry about forgetting to unsubscribe from a monthly recurring bill.

I'd love a local editor or support for offline editing, as I often work whilst communiting, with spotty connectivity.

Congrats again
Except that sort of will/won't is the only possible result of binary variables, while continuous allow more possibilities, like assigning a continuous variable interest rate on the basis of a continuous input.

I wasn't explaining some basic aspect of statistical variables for it's own sake, in this context it is not some pedantic hair splitting, it's a relevant aspect of the types of things that can be done with this data.
I know couples who wait until marriage for kissing.

Not that I specified "gun", but I know people who regularly carry one. It is cheap and effective, and it will protect partners too, just like condoms.
The first time I went to France, I became really overwhelmed by seeing how beautiful every building was. Like, wow, coming from the US I never really stopped to think that there were times and places where people actually cared about making the things around them look nice.
Who cares. Facebook dont care about Democracy, I dont care about their BS PR job masquerading as a blog post.
this is just non-existent science plus lazy journalism. The source paper is pulled and is to be published in the future. Nice clickbait article for skeptics to easily confirm their bias.
Looks like Coinbase is buying the data (Sift Score) to help them make better decisions on account takeover vs. not account takeover, credit card fraud vs. not credit card fraud, ACH fraud vs. not ACH fraud.

In this context it makes perfect sense. Unless they force 2FA for every login, how else are the going to protect good users from account takeover. Same goes for buying crypto, they need a tool to help determine if someone is using a stolen payment method or not.
I completely agree with the author, and have seen more and more anti-TDD sentiment in recent years. Certainly nowhere near all, but some TDD adherents seem to have a bit of a cargo cult mentality regarding it.

At the end of the day, I think whatever you're personally most productive with is what you should use. If it's TDD, use it. If it isn't, don't. Kind of like the saying "the best diet is the one you stick to". Maybe you could be more productive switching to it, or away from it, so it's worth evaluating alternatives carefully, but in general I think whatever works for you is fine to use.

Ask HN: How do I pinpoint my initial audience to build a product for them?
I am developing a site that examines news through history.

As just two examples, if Mr. Trump says I gave away my salary just like George Washington, we examine President Washington's refusal of salary (he was so cash poor that he attempted to borrow money to attend his own inauguration). Or if parents are worried about their kids not getting along with teachers (this was in the news), we bring up the anecdote of John Adams who dropped out of school because he didn't get along with his teacher and how his father handled this.

The site will start with bi-weekly posts, and then add podcasts and from there bring submissions from and interviews with experts, historians, authors, etc.

So I've been wondering whether my audience is history enthusiasts or avid followers of news? I've been leaning towards the latter because our analysis of history sheds light on current news. Also, what age groups, education level, etc.? So far, interest for this has been all over the map. This concerns me, because developing a product for "everyone" is a terrible approach.

So I thought of getting some face-to-face interviews (video most likely) with people I don't know. I thought perhaps Mechanical Turk would be a good tool for this? Or perhaps Facebook. I haven't used either and don't want to spend much money at all. Also, I am not a techie person and am just learning how to work things online, build a website, do social media (it's such a steep learning curve, but huge, huge fun. Loving it!).

I love the community's feedback, and please don't feel limited in your response to the letter of question. You're welcome to share any and all of your thoughts. Thank you in advance.

Please note that I've designed a coming soon page that communicates what the site does. That decision turned out to be a good move on my part, as we've gotten signups and comments. But I haven't posted the coming soon page on any communities.

when big companies rebrand themselves it’s never about how their logo looks like. It’s a tiny piece of the iceberg’s tip. FB is trying to change its story and credibility with its users, advertisers and legislators. Im not very confident they’ll pull it off, but if they do, it’ll be a historic turnaround of events.
A one-time event shouldn't affect the house values in a neighborhood significantly. If this were a pattern, then the house's value should have already been impacted before this. I don't think this house's owner would even be required to disclose to potential buyers that this event happened. However, if the suspect had been killed in the house by the police, this would probably be different, so it's good that didn't happen. A lot of people won't buy a house that someone died in.
I know it's not for everybody, but go back and read Backus' Turing Award lecture introducing FP: "Can Programming Be Liberated from the von Neumann Style? A Functional Style and Its Algebra of Programs" https://dl.acm.org/ft_gateway.cfm?id=1283933&type=pdf

The two main points (they're in the title) are eliminating the "von Neumann bottleneck" between the CPU and RAM, and the algebra of [FP] programs, the potential to manipulate programs as one manipulates mathematical formulas.
ZFS released in 2005 was light years ahead of file systems at the time (it can do instant snapshots, compression, at rest encryption, protect you from bit rot, etc.) and is still inspiring filesystems today.
