From all the tools I've seen, yours is really nice. It respects both the framework and the developer by not adding crappy custom CSS, using the framework as the official documentation mandates and prioritizes a sane workflow. Congrats!

Do you have any roadmap when it comes to more content? I think that's what is king with those tools. I use them because I don't want to hand-design markup for yet another pricing table or any other generic startup design component I need. I like being able to drag and drop them around, and then just go back to my backend code and make that shit work.

I would love to have a more extensive gallery, specially when it comes to items: search results, filtering, sorting, grid view, list view, swipers, etc.
>My goal was to make certain that if it leaked, the overtyped expiry date should make it useless after a certain point, and the company name should make any company other than that one question the source.

>As a side effect, it'd also clearly identify the source of any leaks - but that wasn't my primary goal.

Wouldn't a malicious actor just add block text over your text saying "only for identity verification for SomeOtherCompany" ?

They could do the same for the expiration date, although I wonder if any company actually bothers to check the expiration date
Yes I remember this as well, but the real rally was from 1.2k to 10k from January to November. I do remember the spike from 10k to 20k in December, and it did seem very unnatural to me, but it could have also partly been due to euphoria.

ICO mania really started in April, and the ETH/BTC ratio rose to its ATH in June/July. This drove a ton of hype into cryptocurrencies, and naturally every single crypto rose spectacularly. BTC would have never gotten to 10k if it wasn't for the ICO mania of Summer 2017, IMO.

Your contradiction is only temporary. The countries which product oil at today's price will eventually exhaust their oilfields. In response, oil prices will rise and other countries will be motivated to drill their own reserves.

The bikes are built in a way that you don’t want to steal them. They drive down that probability in at least two ways:

Quite heavy and their specific number highly visible.

The lock is nearly unbreakable, a bolt which is locked inside the bike frame. I wouldn’t know of a way to crack this physically without demolishing the bike.

It’s much easier to steal any other bike instead.

I guess the main upside is vastly reduced technical infrastructure costs so you can get over a certain small percentage of stolen bikes after reducing this probability enough.

I feel you are looking on the wrong numbers.
Yes, individual photons are hugely more energetic, and the process is lossy, but it does not mean the process will consume a lot of energy - very few might be needed.

You previous calculations are for creating light pressure sufficient for fusion, that's a uniquely energy consuming process, You can't reuse those numbers here because they are not trying to crush Uranium atoms together.

But likewise I could not find concrete details for the proposal.
Identity politics is just a useful way to refer to groups of people. You can't really have (useful) politics without identity politics.

For example, how do you talk about helping homeless people, without using their shared identity (the fact that they are homeless)?

Obviously it's not always a useful thing, and grouping people by shared identities can be messy. I don't understand how it can be avoided though, unless you just want the world to stay exactly the same it is.

How many companies don't have a support@____ email address? Seriously, they'll figure it out, it's really not that large of a haul to get stuff corrected, and it's the difference between "we can't take credit card payments" and "a very low-percentage of real users have some extra friction / bounce somewhere else".
The main issue with file transfer is that it's a context where security and usability are nearly mutually exclusive features. To me we still have to address point #1 which is how to get data in a transparent way from A to B (and C, D, etc.), whether none, one or more of them are on a PAN, LAN, WAN etc. Once the specifications are set, one can think of security and where to implement it in a way that doesn't affect usability. If I had to share a file on all my machines, I'd expect the software to let me drop/copy it into a directory knowing that anything put there will replicate on all my machines no matter where they are, that is, managing fixed/dynamic IPs, VPNs, machines momentarily off, etc. Same for less or more restricted transfers such ass for example passwords files or public documents. Everything should be transparent so that if I set up a similar system on granma PC I know that once she puts something into a public folder it's being shared with everyone (with her being warned about it beforehand) while a family only folder would have the content automatically shared (sent, replicated, backed up, etc) only to family members. To me it is very important that the software shows an abstraction of how would we operate in real life: public documents here and private others there, which would be very easy to understand: passwords, keys etc should be used only once to set up the system, unless they're revoked.
But before all that, we must solve the #1 issue (see above). IPv6 should help to solve that, but it seems to me that implementing it as it should be would impact too many businesses currently profiting from simply being the cable that connects A, B, C, D etc.
All of whom were staffed by people heavily credentialed by universities, and who published in the same journals their University colleagues did?

That strikes me as exactly the same model, but without the teaching aspect?
I'm not going to state an opinion on remote being good or bad. I think it is very team and company dependent. However, people who want remote work usually talk about the benefit of remote work to limit distractions. However, the team/product/company success is largely not determined by LOC/hour productivity. What may be high productivity for an individual may not help the team/product/company, as they could be implementing the "wrong" thing.

I do think if you want to do remote work as a company, you need to focus extra resources on facilitating and overdoing communications. Most companies have problems getting on the same page when they are in the same room. It is possible with a remote team but it requires someone to be explicitly in charge of communication.

I second the comment on the site design. Very beautiful indeed. In fact, I just spent some time looking at the css/scss files.
In theory if you had a source-to-source automatic differentiator (a programme which takes the source code for another programme f and outputs the source code for its derivative f'), then you could run backpropagation through that programme and compute the error at all computation steps.

This begs the question, what is the derivative of a programme? At its simplest (and I guess this is what the OP was trying to say), any computer programme can be reduced to arithmetic and also logical control flow operations, and thus the derivative of a programme involves calculating the derivatives each computation along all computation paths.

I'm no expert but this talk by Simon Peyton-Jones should make the concept much clearer:

I believe the 4 hour work week only works for brain intensive tasks where it needs significant mental effort to get things done so ample time for rest is needed to be “refreshed”.

Meanwhile, if you’re building on shoes in a shoe factory, there should be a very predictable output for people working on 4 days vs 5 days.

I don’t condone people to be overworking but that’s just my take.
Can you expand on how it’s being used to contribute to credit card fraud? I could speculate, but if you have a source that would be really helpful.
An analysis of performance evolution of Linux’s core operations
How can supply and demand curves be a distraction to a discussion about price, when supply and demand curves determine the price?

Yes, some of CA's tax laws helps contribute to higher prices, but at the end of the day, the low supply of available houses is compared to the large number of prospective buyer is what makes it so high. Nebraska could adopt all the same taxes as CA, and prices might barely budge, because there's lots of supply compared to demand.

Tackling CAs idiotic property tax restrictions is important, but the elephant in the room is the widening gap in economic opportunity in a handful of urban areas (globally) versus non urban areas.

One can help lower price by increasing the supply of regions with more economic opportunity, and one can increase the supply of dwellings in regions with economic opportunity. Other solutions will just paper over the problem temporarily.

VW starts factory production of electric car it says is ‘accessible to millions’
Depends on the field. Many fields have more women as professors than men -- just anecdotally in my (admittedly small sample size) family more women have been professors than men.

Nursing, to me, is a relatively high status field that offers a good salary and a great deal of flexibility.

Maybe in the 50's we were telling women they could only be nurses or teachers, but that's really not been an issue for a lot of years. There are plenty of women entrepreneurs, and I know plenty of women engineers -- I've worked with them and for them, and they've worked for me over the years. While this doesn't fit the new narrative, I haven't seen anybody telling women they can't be engineers or whatever else they want to be for a long time now.
Of course I wouldn't formulate it like to that, fucking hell, downvoted, that taught me, trying to make a joke...

Look, I'm just about a complete package when it comes to being an asshole. My history on HN is more than enough to prove that.

But, I don't' think humans are that useless to where they're going to fail in fixing this. This can be reversed and we're in the beginning stages. The hole in the ozone layer was deemed doomed and without repair. NASA has it in track on being fully recovered in around 2060 since we stopped using shit aerosols in the 90s.

I think Musk is a complete and utter cunt, but I also recognize the good he's done for electronic cars. Now, all the big players are releasing real electric cars. Hell, VW is doing so to fix their PR image after the diesel scandal. This is good. Still will take time, but you can't have a critical mass breaking point without a slow beginning. A point will be reached (when, I'm not smart enough to answer) and fossil fuel cars will look like a home phone compared to cell phones. If you're old enough, you'll remember that cell phones were "secondary" phones. Then, in a flash, people realized "Oh, we all stopped paying for landlines". And few people have landlines anymore.

The moment Dodge/Ford/GM come out with an EV that has the same feel and balls as a muscle car, that's my personal breaking point. Right now it's all focused on the luxury, feather, Italian aesthetics feel. Fuck that dumbass nonsense. Give me a mean and angry electric vehicle. Or an ultra long range EV Jeep. That'd be cool.
CRAs are a scam from top to bottom.

A bank makes a lot of money, but in theory, it's doing an important job which benefits society. That job is independently assessing creditworthiness. Of course, it's hard to assess creditworthiness if you don't know if someone is making a lot of loans at different places. So, there needs to be a system for credit monitoring. But credit monitoring is not credit rating. Credit rating is the one job a bank is supposed to do. Letting someone else do it undermines the whole purposes of the independent financial system. We might as well just dissolve the banks and move to a centralized planned economy if that's what we're doing, so that at least the centralized rating agencies will be democratically controlled.

So, to begin with, CRAs shouldn't exist and undermine the basic purpose of the financial system. On top of that, they are incredibly incompetent and corrupt as seen by the Equifax breach. It was clear in the early 2000s that the old system in which people would present a few pieces of relatively obscure personal identity to open a line of credit was no longer workable because the data was now subject to trivial duplication. Instead of fixing this, the industry created the concept of "identity theft" in order to falsely shift blame onto an unrelated third party.

I "had my identity stolen" a few years ago. The event had nothing to do with me, so all of the language around this is wrong. What actually happened was first a criminal learned some information about me, then Verizon chose to give the criminal a line of credit on a cellphone, then the CRAs reported that I was profligate to anyone who asked. Saying "my identity" was stolen makes it seem like I was somehow a party to any of this. "My identity" is not a property of mine; it is a property of the reliability of the CRAs' data. What actually happened was the CRAs had their data polluted by the combination of a criminal and lax identity checking at Verizon, and then the various guilty parties forced me to do their data cleanup for them.

What should have happened in the mid-00s was that the credit monitoring agencies, created systems where you can prove your identity to a notary public and get some sort of signed certificate gizmo that you can use to get a cellphone or make a car loan. But because the whole US financial system is corrupt, it instead outsourced all of the liability onto consumers.
I'd love to point out that in a strictly RESTful design, your client is supposed to be discovering the data model from queries, not embedding it in code. Ergo data and schema migrations should be no trouble at all.

Not sure I understand how any other approach to provisioning an data API is going to be able to avoid requiring a data model.
What I'm saying is that it would be very, very difficult to mitigate catastrophic insect loss by switching consumption to primarily vegetables.

Climate change is here, and is going to get worse. Losing pollinators and the collapse of ecosystems would be painfully disruptive on a large scale, and climate change will make it extremely difficult for humanity to adapt to it.
This article makes me bullish about the future price of Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. Imagine that there is a very large community of people around Bitcoin and all it takes is for 1 strategically placed person to do something extremely risky and ruthless and then the whole community benefits. If just 1 person out of a community of 1 million manages to secure a massive loan and unscrupulously starts buying up Bitcoin with it then that person goes bankrupt; that person might go to jail, but everyone else in that community will profit from that act and bear 0 culpability. Creditors cannot get that money back. The unscrupulous buyer may go to jail and loses access to their coins in the process (thus reducing the remaining circulating supply of Bitcoin). The value stays in the network.

Cryptocurrency is an unjust financial scheme but IMO it's less unjust than any other financial scheme of our modern time such as those found on Wall Street or the Silicon Valley startup funnel with all the hype-driven unicorn startups which allowed a select few crooks to extract billions of dollars from the economy whilst providing no value in return.

So long as the current international fiat system (the giant pyramid scheme that it is) is allowed to continue, cryptocurrency will thrive. Fiat money will flow towards any financial scheme which is less fickle than itself; and unfortunately, at this stage in history, even speculative cryptocurrencies which can handle only 4 transactions per second seem to fit that description.
I think you are off here. California, Colorado and New Mexico are all in the top ten of oil production.

Yes, some states are "red" and they tend to like their fossil fuels. But they may be "red" in part because of their oil production, not the other way around.

Also, many traditional "red" states like Texas, Arizona, Georgia, North Carolina, Iowa, Indiana, Oklahoma, Florida, North and South Dakota have shown to be very interested in increasing wind[1] and solar[2] energy capacities.

That is such a naive framing of this topic when you have structural forces at work here. An example is say half a century ago when you have 99% of businesses practicing racist hiring policies. You can talk about economical inefficiencies all you want but what ends up happening is a segment of the population who are left with no good employment and continuing their generational poverty.
Technically you could cut everything into infinitely many points and then reassemble them into another shape (especially given the volume is the same).

I bet there’s some other condition such as “small at infimum”, e.g. we can make as many cuts as we want we can’t really make infinitely many cuts.
> Russia could just about do this for the lolz when you consider they're already expansionist.

In all seriousness if you really want to picture Russia as expansionist, the only time when this was really true was post-WW2 and Cold-war Era. Now Russia is far from being a fool enough to "invade" countries around much beyond their border. Let's not forget NATO as well. I'm not sure in what world this scenario would ever happen.

The problem is that priorities are still to be managed. And there is no such thing as 10 people decide one priority. It's always one person who decides the priority either by signing a contract, pushing a button, committing some code, etc.

For this reason there will always be command and control, since an organization becomes dysfunctional when people act against decisions based on made-up priorities which are way mis-aligned with the real priorities which were decided.

Anyone who thinks otherwise is delusional. Of course there are different types of management styles like servant leadership for example. But that still doesn't change a damn thing. Now instead of the most aggressive person signing the contract, pushing the button, etc, now a nicer fellow signs the contract, then commands every one else to follow.

And having knowledge work on the table doesn't really change the equation either. That's why almost all IT companies these days use OKRs. An objective is to be set by managers and checked upon later (a.k.a command and control).
No, GenX didn't get the "best of all worlds". If you were too young to remember the period, the famous documentary "Slacker" (1990), describes the period well. We had the same frustrations that Millennials and now GenZ have in terms of lack of opportunity.
