The amount of trust put into any conclusion at this point should be minimal, and whilst I understand and partly share the lack of trust in embassy statements, I posted this to counter the blind "looks like it was shot down, someone on twitter said so" conclusion.

To me it looks like Ukrainian embassy in Teheran reported to Ukraine what Iranians told them. This then gets repeated in Ukrainian media, picked up by western media and we have a story how Ukrainian embassy says it's not a missile. I doubt they know for sure at this moment.

There is no way anyone can know cause of the crash unless if it was shot down or bombed (in that case the missile comanders and/or terrorists would know).

Yes this is true because Bitcoin core plays by the speed of the weakest link.

It's not true for Bitcoin Cash which plays by the "if your node is not making you money why are you running it"

When we upgrade every 6 months or useless nodes just get stuck on the old chain forever and that's it.

Last upgrade there was one miner who upgraded one block to late and lost about 1000 USD. That miner will be the first to run the new software in may.

We had a hacker who got a smart card to get Bitcoin cash to work like a credit card without needing to be online.

Bitcoin cash tx are instant and take on average about 2 seconds to spread to about 1999 out of 2000 mempools.

They settle on the chain on average 10 minutes.

Credit card tx also take a couple of seconds but much longer to settle.

Right now BCH can not yet scale like Visa but we already have the capacity to compete with paypall.

Satoshi's design works at scale but only when you don't delete point 6 from the whitepaper which is "Simple Payment Verification"

Core tries to make you belief the whitepaper was written without points 6 and 7.

7 is how to make the blockchain smaller by pruning it using merkle trees.

Nobody does that yet because storing 200 GB for 10 years is super cheap.

But 6 and 7 are ESSENTIAL in the design to scale.

Core completely ignores them or says: Well SPV is not 100% secure there for it's insecure and should not be used.

Gmax does this with everything, he flips it to extremes.

Meanwhile right now on LN there is couple of hundred thousand dollars that is very easy to steal from non technical people.

1) you find people that want to open a channel with you. These people go online to post their ip addresses and open ports on /r/bitcoin. These posts are encouraged on /r/bitcoin.

2) You open a channel with them for like 100 USD in BTC.

3) You push the balance to their side of the channel by using a swap side that accepts both LN and other coins.

4) You sell this 100 USD for another coin.

5) You publish an old state.

6) You do this to nodes you monitor using nmap to see if they go offline on a regular basis for longer then nlocktime.

7) You can't lose money on this, only win with people that should not be running LN but are.

There is like 6 million USD locked up in LN and about 10% is for grabs.

8) The victims have nowhere to go because if they post about it on their channels they get called stupid and banned and their post deleted.

9) People are already doing this but the victims are still not speaking out. They just belief it was their own fault and move on. Meanwhile the watchtower software is not there yet and if a node does not go offline for nlocktime you can easily DDOS that node for 144 blocks and you doubled your money.
Misinformation on HN, unfortunately, is real. Those companies discussed in the article also have accounts here.

I tried Jellyfin but reluctantly had to switch to Emby so my family had the WebOS app for the TV.
It doesn’t really even have to be a real challenge-response since the server controls the shellcode. Just have the shellcode unconditionally submit something (maybe a value that requires a minimum amount of computation or WinAPI sanity checks). If you don’t run that bit of code, down comes the ban hammer.

That's probably why they said "preliminary information indicates". And the rumors of a missile was probably the reason why they felt the need of putting out a statement in the first place.

The principle fixing in this recipe is ketones, as we previously talked about. In any case, explicitly, this equation utilizes BHB ketones. Furthermore, BHB is a substrate that can help get ketosis going. View BHB as a simple method to turn ketosis on. What's more, that is the reason such huge numbers of clients all around the globe love InvigorateNow Elite Supplement as of now! Since, first, it's characteristic. Second, it utilizes fixings made for turning on fat consuming.Also, BHB Ketones are viewed as exogenous ketones. Furthermore, when your body separates this sort of ketone, it transforms it into a quicker digestion and higher vitality. Along these lines, not exclusively will you consume fat through ketosis, however you'll be consuming increasingly fat everyday. Furthermore, you'll feel invigorated and centered! Along these lines, you'll feel fabulous while taking it. Truly, is there any good reason why you wouldn't attempt this equation? We should discuss InvigorateNow Elite Side Effects brisk and afterward wrap this up.

The UX is super slick and incredibly beautiful, I definitively prefer Anytype over Notion for certain tasks.

1. The first app seems to be notion on IPFS but many features are missing (search, tables etc.). What comes next?

2. What will be the next applications built on Anytype and who will build it - the team +/ external devs?

3. Will the service always be free? If Anytype neither steals my data nor spies on me while not charging a subscription fee, where is the catch? Seems a bit suspicious. I'd definitively pay for it.

4. Where do developers find more info on how to build on top of Anytype?

I love to see companies building on top of IPFS and Textile that are run by product wizzards. This is what will make web3 come to life. Thank you for building this.
> I don't see the problem with speculation

It's intellectually dishonest, particularly when baseless speculation is framed by an "it looks like."

It crowds out fact-driven discussion.

It's disrespectful and potentially hurtful.

It could be mistaken for informed commentary, in which case it's misleading. (When I’ve done it, the first victim is myself.)

And to top it off, it's useless. Totally useless. Nobody walks away with a deeper understanding. No new perspectives. Just screaming into a void.
>There is no way anyone can know cause of the crash unless if it was shot down or bombed (in that case the missile comanders and/or terrorists would know).

There's enough surveillance on Iranian airspace after the missile launches that every state-actor with the capability in the region should be able to determine whether the plane was shot down.
>...but strictly just means "not a manager right now".

There's also the verisimilitude that it can also mean an inferred ceiling. For example, Principal <whatever area> Engineer role[s] at Microsoft is [are] typically the highest that you can go - if you stick to the IC (read: non-managerial) track[s].

> What are people supposed to be commenting for, really?

I don't know. And I don't have to know.

Just because one can't come up with a value-adding comment doesn't require the content be censored. Nor does it mean the void should be filled with nonsense.
They might not even be lying: would it be classified as a "terrorist attack" if it's a mistake by the Iranians? A "rocket attack" wouldn't hit an airplane, you need guided missiles for that.
Yeah, that's what I was thinking as well. But others are saying it is possible to track missiles with systems other countries have. So, hopefully we will have some answer.
Do you have any proof of any scams other then calling their coin Bitcoin Cash and the original Bitcoin, Bitcoin Core?

Ask HN: What is the stigma against Wikipedia as an official reference
I mean the same things that people fault about Wikipedia can be said about scientific papers, anyone can write a paper and have it peer reviewed and approved. Isn't Wikipedia better cause it has a much larger audience that can call bullshit on articles of questionable factuality? Why do educational and research institutions frown against quoting Wikipedia as a reference? I mean some people even find information on Wikipedia and quote somewhere else just to avoid this.
That's not Thiel's argument at all. His argument is that the most innovative companies tend to become monopolies.

However monopolies are not always due to innovation, nor our monopolies inefficient. As you mentioned, it's a function of things that repeat, but also due to stronger players that gobble up less efficient and/or innovative firms.

I would read between the lines. Business history is indeed difficult.

I think China's next move should be to turn all their citizens into programmers. They have all the factories, the fabrication equipment, and the general know-how.

And by doing so, then they get all the network effect benefits. They become programmers, researchers, programming language designers, QA engineers, systems analysts, etc., and eventually technical managers and business leaders. And they also get all the benefits of having a very technical and highly educated workforce. It's interesting that a recent survey of their school children, said that 56% wanted to become Astronauts.

The next phase of their national development should probably be to move into design, research, development, and ultimately indigenous intellectual property.

The past 10 years of smartphones have changed the country, that their children are exposed to all the software and technology at a young age. This should make it easier for them to become engineers, programmers, scientists, and mathematicians, as they enter college.

Their current generation of engineers has proven that they have the technical capabilities to achieve that. They appear to be very good at building massive infrastructure. So they can plan, design, architect, and build out massive things (high speed rail, rockets, military planes). But let's see if they can build out small things, like software systems (OS, compilers, AI, etc.)

It will be interesting if Huawei takes the lead, and their new Harmony OS becomes a viable contender in the mobile space in China. Or if it even displaces Windows and Linux as the primary desktop or server operating system within China. Maybe Microsoft would eventually port over Word and Excel to the Harmony OS?

And I'm still waiting for them to come up with their own programming language. Although this might be a tall order, as C is quite popular there. However, the guy who created Vue.js is of Chinese descent, but it seems America snatched him away. Now I could be wrong, but the current perception appears as if the Trump administration is hell bent on alienating everyone of Chinese descent from working in America.

If they can succeed at all this, then a slowdown in the Shenzhen manufacturing economy for export, is irrelevant. They would have evolved to the next level. They would build out their own software systems for internal consumption, and eventual export.
Aren't all those tracking systems mostly ground based. But Saudi Arabia and its neighbors do provide proximity to Iran so I guess they should be able to catch it.
The question is not "How" but "Why" you would want to ever do that in the first place;-)

Many years ago I knew a university professor and students said about him he might leave uni occasionally but he sure never leaves Emacs. Some live in Emacs, some live in Vim.
We mainly use the Bitcoin.com wallet on our phones and Electron Cash on our computers. Both are open source with many eyes looking at the code. We try to teach our user to verify hashes on upgrades and to have copies of dev pub keys on their computer to verify on a fairly regular basis (but not every upgrade).

We also try to keep scammers out our community and I think we are doing a fairly good job, better than most crypto communities.
> Does proper engineering prevent future failures

No. Never.

The plane could have had a defect. The parts could have had a defect. Maintenance could have caused damage.

Or, the machine was perfect. It just hit the wrong number of birds at the wrong angle. Or experienced one of countless random errors that can take down a good plane.

(It could also be malice.)
If only apple watch faces were like apps on iPhone. Can't buy one until they do.
> Is there actually any kind of believable “pilot error” that can cause a passenger 737-800 to catch fire in the air and crash?

Yes, here's one (on an A300) where pilot error while operating the rudder sheared off the vertical stabilizer and caused a crash:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Airlines_Flight_587

There were reports of an explosion/fire in the air, as the plane pulled itself apart.

> The crash was witnessed by hundreds of people, 349 of whom gave accounts of what they saw to the NTSB. About half (52%) reported a fire or explosion before the plane hit the ground. Others stated that they saw a wing detach from the aircraft, when in fact it was the vertical stabilizer.

Safari is terrible with client certs - it seems to store the default on a per page basis rather than per domain. Changing that involves diving deep into keychain.

Chrome usually works but yesterday a colleague had problems where the dialog asking which cert to use wouldn’t respond.

Firefox just works.

It’s a shame that certificates aren’t used more widely. They don’t work at all in captive portal pages on OS X or iphones :(

Is any airline even flying the Max at this point?
It’s going to be hard to remove the suspicion. The investigation will probably be run by an Iranian authority. I doubt the NTSB will be invited in the current climate. How credible will be its finding? Usually in this case a neutral third party is invited (like France’s BEA). But pretty much all western countries are being threaten by Iran now.

That's a real shame, and I had to switch to Emby for the WebOS app so my family could use it easily from the TV remote, at least I know the situation isn't likely to change in the near future.

I think it's a mistake for them not to put huge effort into TV apps; on the TV is, after all the main use case for this.

Suggesting people buy other devices isn't going to fly either.

I have a hundred devices in my home that can run an Android app or web site, but convincing my family that any of them are effortless to use is another matter, I suspect a lot of the technical people here have families similarly disinterested in the complexity of a 3rd, 4th or Nth remote control to deal with.
Are you not American? Have you notified the IRS of every single Bitcoin fork and every fork of every fork?
Iran used Fateh-313 surface-to-surface missiles in the recent attacks, some media reported they launched 313 missiles which got to they launched hundreds of missile.

But if the footage is real it was not a malfunction. Planes don't catch in fire in the air like that.

But not sure if the footage is old rehashed footage yet or not.
Exactly. Now we wait. The wreckage will be able to tell a lot as well, I'm no crash investigator but if it was a missile the shrapnel will leave visible marks.
I came into this with a sense of "oh not again" and came out surprisingly happy. TIL that ZZ, ZQ exist and that a disown command exist on the command line.

Also my preferred method from the list is the timeout, it would be nice to have counter in a corner of the vim window to know how much time is left though.
What's even more interesting is that the fact that we don't see these is a consequence of the economics surrounding apples, drive by what people perceive and as such want an apple to be.

This assumes a subject is required for coercion. It might be that multiplayer games are the only way for someone to escape.
Have you considered the inverse, to allow by default, and disallow flagged domains?
The US military is (by now) a terrorist organization where the plane crashed, so even Iran Air Flight 655 would be considered a "terrorist attack".
I thought that because of the embargo Boeing could not deliver replacement parts or provide technical assistance, so I am not sure how they can be involved in the post crash investigation either.
For some sites it could be enough to store the state of the site (e.g. display settings, language, etc) instead of a profile.
