This is the right vision, but misses by a wide margin:

First, define the problem you are trying to solve. Then define the solution to that problem. Then lay out the broad strokes of the architecture and build a skeleton of a POC that proves the system will work.... and then figure out the UX and continue down the path from the article.

I've seen UX-first turn into churn of minutiae, without actually solving the business problems. Whole teams moving icons around for months and bikeshedding over whether they wanted 8 or 10 spaces between labels and fields, and still no functioning app.

UX-second - that works. Solve the problem first.

Let us pretend together that you are the VP of security at Google. I’d suggest you take a stroll through Matthew’s twitter page for the past year or so and mark down everything you find seriously concerning and in your view making him incapable of performing his job. You might find quite a bit, and you might think “I can’t believe the real VP of security at Google hasn’t fired him yet!”

And yet, somehow, he’s not enough of an “insider threat” to be dismissed.
Because Tim Sweeney is just not as charismatic, unfortunately. Great guy though.
Not to be nitpicky, but I'd s/many/a few.

We have boarded horses for years. You'd be surprised at how little money the average horse owner makes. People tend to only think of the expensive racehorses and the wealthy people who own them and not of the person who works, e.g., as a McDonald's manager and paid $700 for her horse and less in monthly upkeep than a car payment.

This is going to be very interesting on the long run.
Interesting, I didn't know how unpopular cannabis is in the Netherlands. I'm not sure if the numbers I found are very comparable, but it seems like about 5% of adults used it at least once last year in NL compared to over 20% in US.

I don't think legalization has affected usage much in the US either, it seems you're right that it's determined by other cultural factors rather than laws.
I think what the grandparent post is trying to make clear is that there is no technical impediment to moving money instantly as some others have claimed here. It isn't that the amazing technology of blockchain has allowed us to achieve this for the first time. The reality is that this completely unregulated space is allowing people to sidestep a bunch of regulation and thus move money faster. If crypto becomes an issue the powers that be are going to do one of two things;

1) Regulate crypto such that it isn't an issue anymore and is in line with existing systems.

2) Improve the regulation such that the existing monetary systems move money more quickly/easily/whatever.

Crypto has an edge in neither of these situations.
The way I'm thinking about it, you don't need anything extra to justify unions, but you do need something extra to prohibit wage fixing. I agree that freedom of association, when considered alone, would allow wage fixing and price fixing and all sorts of anti-competitive behavior.

We're moving away from areas where I'm confident I know what I'm talking about, but I think as a society we've decided that while anti-competitive laws do infringe on the rights of business leaders, we're trying to balance their rights with those of everyone else, and the laws are necessary to prevent a permanent class divide between business leaders who cannot be challenged, and workers under them. In the long run, allowing complete free association among CEOs would limit the freedoms of the rest of society.

Society is a constant project of balancing various conflicting rights, and this is one of many cases where we limit the rights of a few to defend the rights of many.
I have friends who are alcoholics and definitely have negative impacts in both actions and health, but it's more of a slow boil. I've had friends that went down a very very fast spiral (1-2 years from normal to streets) when using hard drugs. Alcohol is harmful, but cocaine/meth/opiates are at least an order of magnitude worse.

heavyset_go has provided a good source for my more general statements but I want to specifically address

> police forces in the Northern states are obviously not derived from "slave patrol remnants"

This is a common misconception that the north was "free" even as the south kept enslaving people. It's true that the north also had other economic forces influencing its policing, but the Fugitive Slave Acts gave plenty of legal cover for anyone wanting to make a buck by finding "escaped slaves" (often just whatever black people they found) in the north.
I work at UW astronomy. It’s mostly symbolic. The main capability loss is that Arecibo was able to transmit, which is unique at its size. As an example, that was useful to rescue the ISEE-3 explorer when it passed through a comet trail in the 1980s. Only Arecibo was powerful enough to blast a radio message through the comet trail. (PDF reference: https://ipnpr.jpl.nasa.gov/progress_report/42-84/84T.PDF)

Arecibo was certainly still used actively, but it’s not the only observatory in its class - its not like the LHC or Hubble blowing up or something.

Show HN: Instant Beer, Wine and Spirits Delivery
Hello HN,
My name is Freddie and I'm the creator of a little beer loving robot named Distributron. We had the pleasure of discussing our business with Geoff Ralston yesterday and let me tell you it was a VERY humbling experience. We didn't make it into YC this time around but we will next time.

We're currently only operating in Central PA in our beta so you'll need to use an address from that region to see what we have to offer for delivery and preview our service.

Just use: 1 S. Union Street, Middletown, PA 17057 Marketplace: https://distributron.app

Let me know any constructive criticisms but keep in mind I built this instant delivery service in a little over a month. While it's not perfect we're looking to make it that way and spread our success across the globe.

Thank you YC for everything!
I don't understand NAV premiums when it comes to ETH. What does this mean?
In Canada it is possible to order online directly to any post office via a special address and pick up there for free.

This is IMO a much better solution because post offices are already necessary and present everywhere, and individual retailers don't have to support the option to ship to them.
You're saying AMD "only" won the "short-term" console market for 2013-2027 (so far) but instead they should... what? Focus on a 20-30 year time horizon? There's no such thing in the chip industry.

I'm currently part of a team trying to UNDO this very concept. It sounded great in the beginning, but after years of headaches and wasted cash; we're building the backend in something else. I wasn't part of the original team. Nor was I part of the decision to migrate off of the system. I just know that for my employer, it was a bad decision those many years ago...
Everything old is new again. This was a common way to write client-server software in the pre-web world, clients talking directly to a central rdbms.

> they cost less than a percent of a cent more

Citation please? I have dealt with packaging products for 35 years now and it’s expensive. In my experience anything close to what the parent poster described would result in packaging costs an integer multiple price increase per unit if biodegradable. Storage requirements would also increase because 60 days is not a long enough shelf lifetime for prosciutto or anything similar
I believe they do made a post about how conhost(the actual backend when you run cmd.exe from start) have such lower input latency compared to other windows terminals.

The cmd need to do a lot of things (font rendering, layout whatever) without help of other services (It need to work even without them, see the recovery mode). So it effectively bypass a lot of interactions with other services a normal program need to do in order to put the text on screen. It is basically the tty? in Windows.

But that also means it need to sacrifice a lot of things because that aren't available in recovery mode. You get no fancy emoji supports or whateve feature you would expect in a modern terminal. And the text rendering looks very bad until recently the remake the conhost.

I get the argument, and I agree to the extent that different drugs have different risk profiles.

But I don't see an argument for prohibition there. Anyone who wants to get cocaine, will get cocaine. Enforcing a ban requires resources that are almost always more efficiently spent elsewhere.
Okay, I did find that hint, but the problem is, that while it gives you a hint on what you looking for, there are so many possibilities, how you can type a date as a password (assuming it is the 31st January 2010, which it is not):

2010-01-31

20100131

2010.01.31

31.01.2010

01-31-2010

01/31/10

31.1.2010

31st January 2010

3101

Just to give some examples. If the name of a person can be added, there are a lot more combinations. If there are even multiple people (as in this case) you might even think about mixing those dates.
My point is not that googling it will reveal everything about it, but nice bad faith. My point is it has a dictionary definition and there are plenty of people who understand what it is. It is not a nebulous concept just because you aren't informed about it.

A decent amount of AWS product offerings get smoked by FLOSS counterparts. But being able to 1-click use something, not having to figure out how to deploy it, potentially getting commercial support for it etc. is awfully tempting even if the product is only 1/3rd as good.
> At the same time in most Western countries decent working conditions and wages are already mandated by law

Are they though? There are a plethora of activist, legal, legislative groups focused on both working conditions (often on narrower groups, like say migrant farm labor) and minimum wage issues would probably argue this.

Obviously working condition protections are much better than they were before 1950s-ish, and the existence of a minimum wage is greater than zero (where applicable). But neither of those inherently meet a bar as fuzzy as "decent".

Supposedly Tim Sweeney saw the writing on the wall in 2012 as Epic sold off the Gears franchise to Microsoft that "free-to-pay" "Games as a Service" were the future of the industry and decided to shop around for expertise in that area. Tencent already had expertise in that area (both homegrown in China with several successful "GaaS" games and in already owning Riot Games at that time), and the investment was also supposedly a signifier of a bidirectional exchange of expertise sharing.

One answer to this question is that Ethereum will soon become a "real investment" because fees will accrue to ETH holders and the huge expense of electricity-intensive proof of work mining will be discontinued forever.

Here is how it'll work

- in 2021, an improvement to the Ethereum network known as EIP-1559 will launch, causing a portion of all new transaction fees to be burned/destroyed, which is effectively a "stock buyback" for ETH. This will be the first time that ETH holders receive any kind of "earnings per share". But, it's not enough:

- EIP-1559 alone is not enough for ETH to be a profitable investment from a cashflow perspective. The problem is that Ethereum's proof of work mining is extremely expensive, like Bitcoin's. Ethereum will run at a "net loss" until proof of work is discontinued.

- two days ago, the Ethereum v2 "beacon chain" launched after years of research and effort. This "beacon chain" is currently not used for any ethereum transactions and won't be for two years. Here is a 3rd party UI for exploring the beacon chain https://beaconcha.in/

- in 2022, the main ethereum blockchain will merge with the new ethereum v2 beacon chain and proof of work mining will go away forever. The new system, proof of stake, is dramatically less expensive. It's so cheap that it's effectively free.

- in 2022, with proof of stake fully live, ethereum's transaction fees will effectively accrue to ETH holders and there will be no material expenses to offset this income. The result is that ETH will become a real investment vehicle from a cashflow perspective.

so why does it still take me 3+ business days to move money between banks? I assume it's just because they use that float to make money, but it still sucks. i for one like transactions clearing in a few seconds rather than a few days.
IME I've never needed one. You get a copy of prod and test against that. SPs are typically short, even when they're long their functionality tends to be well defined, it's never been a problem for me.

You certainly can and do add logging, this can be useful.
Great idea, however the main page is pretty loaded in terms of information. There's 9 tiles, 4 button each, date/pictures/tracks/likes.. I just don't know where to look.

Right. It makes creating a candidate drug to hit your target vastly easier. It doesn't really make picking the right target in the first place any easier. The preclinical stage will be faster. The clinical stage is still necessary, and that's the stage where the big bottlenecks (toxicity & efficacy) happen. There's not yet a reliable toxicity model, and efficacy is even harder.

This will certainly help. But we shouldn't expect drugs to be discovered in weeks instead of years, since the bit that usually takes a year or more (the clinical trials) isn't changed here.
Anyone who is not concerned about lock in is a fool. There are many fools in business.
You’re making the assumption that the war is just, fair and in the best interests of the people.

Don’t think anyone’s interested in a strong central government fighting unfair, unjust wars that just victimise their people.

With regards to the war on drugs. That was never started with noble intentions, and has pretty much failed. This is not so much “joining them” as accepting the reality that maybe the whole war was bad idea from the start.
> Back to the F-35 program, the jobs it creates may be deadweight, deadend careers that don't produce real value. And then you can't just have these people unemployed and starving, so I guess we'll need an F-35+1 program for them and their descendents. And so on forever, until we break this cycle.

This is a big part of the problem. If you give the F-35 program $1 billion and you give the NSF $1 billion dollars, the F-35 program is going to directly generate more jobs. They pay people less, and they need more unskilled labor. The NSF needs very little unskilled labor, relatively speaking. Scientists are expensive. Machinery for science is crazy expensive (although so are a lot of F-35 components). Machinery for science also often involves buying foreign parts, such as the replacement cables for Arecibo that were coming from Germany.

One way for the NSF to address that is by requiring parts to be US made like the DoD does. It will increase the price, and it will often result in less effective parts (as it often does for the DoD), but you can make an easier argument that cutting NSF funding will take away jobs. I don't know if that's a net win or not, but it would probably get them more funding.
> If you want to hedge against inflation, I suggest TIPS and maybe a bit of gold.

I need to read up on TIPS, haven't heard about that before. Yes, gold is a decent option as well. However I view Bitcoin as digital gold and it has a few nice properties that gold doesn't have (of course gold has some good properties that Bitcoin doesn't have). One of the aspects of Bitcoin that I appreciate the most, is that it's very easy to carry around with me, for example when travelling on an airplane to another country. The same is not true for gold.

> I would also point out that the market expectation clearly isn't aligned with currencies being 'in trouble' - very low inflation in general right now.

Inflation is actually really high, but its mostly hidden in rising prices for stocks and real estate.
The 'community' at large doesn't mine Bitcoin. A few gigantic mining farms mine bitcoin, and their self-interest could well change the bitcoin issuance. It's not as decentralised as you think.
Question: are you even a columbian citizen?

Either way, in the United States, we used to have a prohibition on alcohol. When the prohibition ended, most of the old brewers either went legit, or went into politics. The Kennedys were such former criminals and they actually did a pretty good job as politicians if you ask me.

I would say most of the time, criminals are just people who want to compete with the government, which is the biggest gang. So criminals are not these unambiguously evil troublemakers Ronald Reagan would like us to think they are.
It's not impossible -- with equity compensation and refreshers, it takes ~ four years to plateau. So if you have someone in the same role for the past four years and compare them to someone just hired, the four year employee may have more than half their income in RSUs while the new hire has maybe 10 percent of income in RSUs. If the stock does particularly well and RSUs grants have impeccable timing, compensation of 3x what you got in year one is a possibility. Especially if a level promotion happens, if you consider that 'the same job.'

Yes, it is a bit absurd. And if you're the first minority hire on a team that hires 1 person a year, you will be paid under the team average for a while, just as if you weren't.

> And at what level are we talking about?

Entry level employees at FAANG mostly. For PhDs managing people, such as the person in the article, I expect there's a much wider band of possibilities.
Suppose a driver for a rideshare app wants to pay their car payment.

Stripe Connect can't be used to hold funds from many rides for a month; they have to pay it out to a bank account (which they might not have) or to a disbursement card, which (because loan repayments are generally not paid on a card in the U.S.) likely doesn't solve their problem without withdrawing cash and buying a money order. That is extra effort and cost for the driver.

Stripe Treasury would let the rideshare platform give their drivers an embedded money management account. That would allow indefinitely holding money, and would allow them to use e.g. bill pay for car payments, similar to the way that many HNers probably pay their own car payments today.

This is good for the platform (solves a pain point for many drivers) and good for the drivers (they get faster access to their funds, decreasing the likelihood they'll get dinged for a late repayment, and can spend less of their time managing low-value-added money movement when they could instead be driving).
An interesting feature if you want to just play Windows games once in a while is "PCI passthrough" aka VFIO. With that you can assign a PCI device to be used directly by Windows emulated within a VM, which lets you play game in Windows in emulation with almost no performance penalty.

But then you need another graphics card for your main Linux system.
Interesting. To be clear, the only change was the GFX card (and driver)?
