What do you think of the Lightning Network?

Lightning Network channels specify a blockchain hash, so Bitcoin is supported but other cryptocurrencies could be used (if the HTLC scripts, etc., were ported)

The Lightning Network web of payment channels looks good to me. You can see how it can form an efficient "overlay" on any cryptocurrency that provides sufficient scripting power:

> What does raytracing have to do with the popularity of custom engines?

Raytracing is being used as a synecdoche for technological advances in rendering. The point is that as off-the-shelf rendering improves, the advantages of a vertically integrated engine diminish.

> Off topic, but this is not a good analogy. The "cloud" is just a network of mainframes, which means mainframes are arguably the dominant form of computing (and will become more dominant as thin clients, like Stadia, rise in popularity).

> Mainframes were not necessarily purpose-built, unique machines. They were instead defined by their sharing model, which is where the term "personal computing" comes from -- as a contrast to the mainframe/server model.

That's a very essentialist perspective; there are a lot of ways mainframe computing differs from typical personal computing and no single one of them is definitive. As a programmer, a mainframe offered you a reliable computing environment, because they're built to be highly available from the hardware up. That's very much not the case with the cloud, which follows a worse-is-better approach where your jobs can be terminated whenever and you're expected to handle it. While shared computing resources may be making a comeback, I don't think that kind of ground-up high availability will, so while the cloud has some aspects in common with mainframes, it's very much not the same thing.
Getstencil looks real cool. Will check it out.
VLWI, doesn't that imply no branch prediction (like Itanium, which afaiu expects the compiler to order instructions optimally ahead of time)? If so, shouldn't it be immune to SPECTRE?
According to your model, you are part of the audience too. So I assume (using your logic) that you are difficult to work with too or is still trying to find your feet? I (for one) doesn’t fit in your model. And I am also pretty sure I am not the only one. So I recommend perhaps adjusting your model to fit reality better?
I think every new notebook project should take ideas from Julia's Pluto: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IAF8DjrQSSk

Working directly with the source files is just one of the niceties it has.
> I would imagine if someone at the office started claiming your work at your own you would probably experience something rather analogous to anger.

This is a false premise. If you control your anger you will train yourself enough to not get angry in the first place. After a long time of practicing this you will even forget how to get angry.
The time needed to actually do the copying.
Wow. Does Coinbase plan to launch their coin and feel threatened? Seems like a anti-competitive move if so and weird timing with the IPO.
Good advice. My response is generally "the one you're going to write something in". Only if I have time for a indeterminate length conversation about what they'd like to do to get started, of course!
It's not clear the Japanese system is going to survive the aging of Japan. It's also not clear to me the Japanese system works that well. People point to live expectancy but don't factor for culture, life style, diet, and genes.

There are tons of quack doctors in Japan. Apparently to be a doctor here is much easier than some other places. I love (I think) that it's relatively inexpensive (via price controls) and that their is government medical insurance so it's relatively easy to get covered. I'm not so sure I like that if you want a skilled surgeon you need to bribe them.
It would be kinda fun to have a camera-ML-algo combo just looking at a bunch of cats in a room, hooked up to a nuclear fail-safe switch, waiting for them all to just freak out abruptly.

Kinda like a reverse Schrodinger's Cat experiment: the cats live if the random event triggers.
Having used Zoho, the best thing I can say about their service is that it's not gmail. It's a very mediocre offering. Most email is but they have an all-in-one service that's entirely "meh."
Properly setting the MX DNS record is better than forwarding.
Really, is that the reason? Do you have any sources explaining this? Seems insane, 'supremacy' just makes me think of Jason Bourne movies, not racism.
I think that's by design. You could argue that it's a barrier to entry, but I think it's more likely just a means of efficient communication among experts, who already complain there are too many papers to read.
Pareidolia: A Bizarre Bug of the Human Mind Emerges in Computers (2012)

It reads to be a good reason to suspend XRP trading
Aircraft have to land and takeoff.
This is exactly it! Thank you for the find!
I know plenty of smart people with extra cash who are fearful of investing. It is very, very common. Even if they are not completely afraid, they would rather pay a "financial advisor" several percentage points in wrap fees and expenses on poorly performing funds than learn about investing themselves.
I disagree. A drone can be used to harass them with its presence in an anonymous manner. It can also more easily follow someone around, as opposed to someone in the bushes. A DSLR with a long lens doesn’t have that mobility, is considerably more expensive, and stabilizing video at very long distance is hard.

I’m also not sure what bearing a Harley has on this situation - we can reason about this without bringing motorcycles into the picture. But for consistency sake I am also against vehicles that are as loud as motorcycles and don’t accept the weak argument that the loudness is a “safety feature”.
Hiding a backdoor requires hiding it from every user who might publicize it, not some users.

Your issue (which is barely a vulnerability at all, in my personal opinion) demonstrates a failure to hide a vulnerability, if you think it was intentionally-placed (which I don't), in that you quickly learned about it.
> I couldn't help but feel near admiration: He had truly reached some pinnacle of human experience

As someone who has left anger a long time ago as well, I have to say, I do miss it sometimes and I also look with envy to ones who can express their anger. To be angry is to feel alive. But yes, overall you're better off not being angry.
His Little Game (1989)
What directories are still relevant for SEO?
Launching a new startup in the CRM space in the next couple of days, and wondering which which directories are still relevant for search engine rankings?
Because longevity is barely studied. It receives near no funding. It has barely any attention and yet it kills more people than any other disease.

The quest for longevity explicitly helps many things. Fixing cancer is reactionary, preventing cancer from starting is longevity.

You’re confusing existing medical research with longevity research. They are very different. Almost all medical research is for fixing things that have gone wrong, longevity is trying to prevent them going wrong in the first place.

There’s always the idea that we could be doing something else, something that helps more. No one said you need to stop all other research and funding, but if we are able to prolong aging diseases you’ll help near everyone on the planet.

> You'll have to search very long to find a C++ game code-base that uses boost, game devs are not that stupid ;)

Boost has over 160 libraries and counting. I wouldn't recommend every one of them (some have wacky interfaces, slow compile times, and/or experimental designs), but many of them are excellent, and I don't think it's very difficult to tell them apart.

Regardless, I find your insinuation that Boost users are "stupid" to be extraordinarily uncharitable to library users and developers.
Ripple/XRP is under SEC investigation for selling an unregistered security, Coinbase has to stop trading or they'll be an accessory to the crime as well.
Because it is most likely a piece of the spacecraft that got broken off during the collection attempt.
Sorry, missed that somehow. Still seems oddly suspicious that it coincides with Coinbase's IPO.
This comment thread is about someone adding a parachute to their drone if they lose power, so it doesn’t fall on someone.

The propellers would not be spinning, and the object would be gently gliding down.
I was going to make a comment about this not working for integer types; but then I remembered that JavaScript doesn't have integers, so I guess it technically works.
Content categorisation service.

For example news. There are thousands of topics. They are hierarchical. Every news article touches some of those topics to various degree. I would love to subscribe to some topics with some kind of tolerance. Like I want to know about most important world political news. I want to know about important IT news and my country political news. I want to know almost everything about Java, cryptography and my city news. I want to get every content from or about my favourite bloggers.

And that should be extended to all kind of new content. News, articles, videos, tweets and so on.
>> Not everyone looks good without hair

Not everyone with hair looks good. The ugliest person ever was probably one with hair on top.

>> some people have faces that look young instead of manly

Some women absolutely love a boyish look. Some men too.

>> Plenty of reasons men still hate losing hair.

Men with hair hate their lives just as much.
FWIW I’ve been using Apples email since the .Mac days (13 years) and its been completely reliable. You really need to use the native apps though, the web interface isn’t very good.
I thought filecoin had a successful launch?
This is the rest of the paragraph:

> Artificial material seems to be present in chamber C. The origin is under investigation, but a probable source is aluminium scraped off the spacecraft sampler horn as the projectile was fired to stir up material during touchdown.
That they stopped trading a literal scam? The only suspicious part is they started trading it in the first place.
I currently use Notion. It isn’t perfect but it is getting better.

I hope their API opens a lot of possibilities.
Agreed. Why is there no Tinder/online dating equivalent for making new friends locally?

Instead of dating-specific qualifiers, it'd ask for your interests, hobbies, values, age and other demos, then match you based on overlap.

Not Meetup - it's not quite solving the same problem, and so it solves things differently (focusing on shared interests and on discrete meetup events).
Yes, I think people would agree, but suggesting companies shouldn't market their products is silly.

It's like adding 'I want a million dollars' to your list.
Personally I am less worried about police use of drones because their use is presumably helping deter crime and catch suspects who have committed a crime. With the right regulations and controls, I feel less violated from a privacy perspective than from random individuals using airspace for greater reach of their cameras - especially when they do things like hover over your private hedged backyard.
The moment a company tells the world how “caring it is” or how much it “cares about it’s employees”, run (don’t walk) away from it as fast as possible. The companies I have worked for that actually cared about its employees never told anyone about it because it was an unspoken rock solid part of the culture. As in “of course you need to make sure employees are happy to stay. Anything else would be stupid!”.
I also looked at the Matebook... and came to the same conclusion, and just bought an M1. The Matebook felt like it was trying to be a MacBook without being a MacBook (down to the marketing page for it).

That said, to me the existence of the Matebook _proves_ that what I'm after should be possible, and it just comes down to nobody actually doing it.
Why don't cars (or even pickup trucks) have modular storage?

Why isn't there a way to load up your groceries in the store, put them in your car in a modular way, and help you unload them into your house somehow?

It could go even further to mini palettes that can be loaded and unloaded automatically. And even electrical cool or cold boxes to keep stuff at the right temperature as you drive home.
Japan has a culture of obligation to take care of your parents but it has side effects. Dating sites for example you list if you're the oldest because people often don't want to marry the oldest since their obliged to care for the parents. Worse, it's often left to the wife to take care of the husband's parents.
Everyone in this thread seems to identify more with camp 3. I'm very camp 2, I don't care about making anything, most of my programming is means-to-an-end, little scripts and cli binaries, rarely any large projects.

I see a computer as a sort of huge warehouse-sized machine, with tiny little gears and pistons all moving in perfect timing, and I just want to throw an apple into it, to see what happens.
> “BTC has been a joke ever since the GitHub repo was hijacked by Blockstream and Adam Back”

Could you spell out the implications of this?
#3 is interesting because you can assign arr[-1] and it's valid. But it goes from being a pure array to a mixed array+hash/dict where "-1" is the key.

BUT if you set/access arr[0] it's just like an array...

arr = []
arr[-1] = 'neg-one-pos'
arr[0] = 'zero-pos'
arr[1] = 'one-pos'

arr # => ["zero-pos", "one-pos", -1: "neg-one-pos"]

That was quite unexpected for me.
Gripping as a narrative, and deeply moving to those who know of Becket. Perhaps better, it is a story of a scholar doing his meticulous best to disprove his own hypothesis.

We need so much more of that in every discipline. My attitude has always been that if I can't argue against my own case as well as I can argue for it, I don't really know my case.

Cross platform accessibility APIs for integrating with OS and programs with high level scripting language bindings such as Python.
It’s over-engineered, but I’ve been using https://github.com/RichiH/vcsh for this for years.
The start of the thread was about either losing power or losing control.

The GP dismissal of the danger of the propellors sounded suspiciously like the guy on YT who just got fined $182k by the FAA, who argued that the first offense for hitting someone in the head should be a $20 fine.
It doesn't look like that to me.

There's a exploit demo here[1]. If the exploit worked in Chrome or Firefox as well as Chromodo, that would clearly indicate the problem is with the website, not with Chromodo. I find it hard to believe that no one at Google or Comodo would test the exploit page in Chrome or Firefox. There's discussion on the original bug and here[2] that Comodo did push out a fix, and it sure sounds like that was a fix to Chromodo.

Secondly, looking at the exploit demo, it looks like it does 2 postMessage()s, once in each direction, both using execCode. If it was a vulnerability purely in https://ssl.comodo.com the 2nd postMessage() looks like it would fail, because there isn't any code around to receive it.

Thirdly, looking at the exploit demo, it has a text box with which you can specify which site you want to attack. So you could change that to https://google.com or https://news.ycombinator.com . If the exploit only worked against a single site, it wouldn't make sense to provide a text box allowing you to change which site to attack.

Taviso's description is a bit misleading. It doesn't sound like the action that Comodo took is to directly disable the same origin policy, but rather to provide an API with which attackers can bypass the same origin policy. From a security perspective that does effectively disable the same origin policy, but from an attack understanding point of view, it's a bit different.

Sustainable agriculture.

Ag is the material basis of human society. We have to stop destroying soil. We have to stop poisoning ecosystems. We have to minimize artificial fertilizer inputs. We have to stop emitting and start sequestering atmospheric carbon to mitigate climate instability.

If we don't do this we will likely see widespread crop failures and food shortages within 50 years. Land use practices must be reformed to protect soil health. Agriculture must become carbon negative. It may be possible to tweak crops to increase CO2 incorporation rates and store more carbon in soil, for instance.[0]

I want to leave future humans a planet with fertile soils, a stable climate, and vibrant life. I do not want our grandchildren to live in concrete domes and eat out of yeast vats.

All of that would change if only you had a full set of hair?
I hear ya... maybe ADS-B isn't the solution here, but I wish pilots could somehow see drones on the traffic screen.
Well, the company would cut you loose in a second if they felt like it.

A VP of Engineering at my first tech job was the first to tell me to never be loyal to a company because they will never be loyal to you.

Later the worst example of this I experienced was when I was a hotshot contractor at a medtech startup. About a week after I started, they pivoted and fired almost everyone except me and another recently hired contractor. Junior devs and most marketing/biz dev folks were offloaded. They were w-2 employees not contractors like me and my buddy.

Many of the folks there had been recently hired as the company was spinning up for a product release. They had been grinding for weeks to get ready for a trade show demo.

I found out about the pivot and layoffs when I heard some of my office neighbors crying.

I lined up another gig and left soon after.
I'm not sure this can work in general. You need some entity to forward and use the proper envelope headers for the mail to go through in the backend.
That’s going to grow quickly
A version of your comment included the line "it's an unrealistic demand".

Not sure if it's caching on HN or whatever, but to that point: so is, clearly, my entire list. If I'm saying I'll pay whatever price, though, you bet I'm putting that on there. ;P

Edit: and to be fair, I'd take a logo that isn't an eyesore - the other commenter on this thread used some odd language for it, but I consider the Razer logo to be an eyesore. Bright green is not something I want on my laptop.

The Apple logo, as annoying as it might be, at least doesn't look like someone took a crayon and scribbled on the back of the machine.
Terrible news for XRP and Ripple but nobody can be surprised by this. Next up we may see the delisting of some stable coins given the SEC's advice about establishing a nexus in the US. I'm not sure how this will work for a decentralized coin like maker / dai, so perhaps this is the end for them. However, this seems consistent with other regulation since they operate like an autonomous fx swap fund.
Technical question, why not C?

For a library that deals with hardware and aims for compatibility, C seems like the obvious choice. Most languages have C bindings, and most hardware-oriented libraries have a C interface. Rust looks like a nice language and could be used for all the internal logic, but expose C interfaces to the outside world for compatibility (I think Rust can do that).
Ah - I took the question as saying “I did nothing to indicate the sort and could in fact be purchasing for a business”, so I was trying to explain that side!
There is unraid (which I haven't tried)

I'm pretty happy with proxmox - apparently lots of people use the LXC appliances.
This is helpful. Let me ask a question.

Why do you think that cheaper development costs will ultimately lead to lower drug prices?

I think we would both agree that drugs are not priced based on cost. Even if R&D were 10X cheaper - all else equal - prices are not coming down.

So what is the mechanism you think will lead to lower prices given lower costs of R&D?

Another question: Maybe as a patient (or a doctor), I like the better than the beetles problem. I don't need a thousand drugs on the market to treat every indication. Especially ones that have not passed a high bar for efficacy. I need a few drugs, preferably outside of patent protection, with enough diversity in structure to avoid specific toxicity effects.

If lowering the efficacy standards doesn't get me treatment for new indications, why would I want it? It's not clear to me that solving better than the beetles gets me to new indications. Presumably if I'm in a regime where BTTB applies, I've got a drug for that.
I don't see any additional value of bcash over bitcoin.
Eth and Monero I agree though, each of them bring fundamental values additionally to btc.

It’s because it’s true! You can let going bald ruin your life but there is so much more to life than a full head of hair! You know what I wish would be different? My back which has been totally destroyed since I was 16 with messed up discs. Losing hair would be a lot preferable! But at the same time, I’m very happy I’m not like my cousin with her debilitating disease that will kill her before 30 that has left her family shattered since she was 8 years old!

I don't think there are any major implications. The point of blockchain currencies is to be decentralized so hacking a random github repo shouldn't have major implications. It's not even the only bitcoin node implementation out there at this point.
Really curious how you're this deeply downvoted without a reply

Oh okay. That makes more sense. Still a bit weird that it's out of a sense of self preservation instead of caring that it was potentially immoral in the first place.
