I discovered line_profiler last week when I was trying to learn how to profile in Python. You show it your code, and it shows you what's slow - this is exactly what a profiler should be.

I really want to start a campaign to get something similar built for JavaScript. JavaScript has the most diverse user base (from people who barely know how to use their computers all the way up to Googlers), yet our profiling tools can be intimidating/hard-to-decipher even for people who are quite comfortable with the rest of the language.

My mental model for my code is my code. Showing me a data-grid with a tree of function calls (many of which may be in external libraries I don't control) isn't nearly as helpful as showing me, line-by-line, how fast my code runs. (This is especially true since not every line that takes time to run makes a function call.)
The rules governing bitcoin are maintained by consensus, and the bitcoin developers have a large sway on this consensus.

If the majority of people decided they didnt like the current rules (eg all the people complaining about bitcoin deflation) they could very well change them by simple agreement.

I've uninstalled EVERY plugins in Chrome. It still freezes up occasionally. Very very annoying. Had to keep remind me that it's a good time to take a break when that happens. No, it's not the Flash plugin as many have mentioned because it is also disabled/uninstalled. So what now?

Have you done it before? Just curious what you're experience was. I've always found that the angel who's willing to put in a lot of time (not just at the inflection points a la every angel group) is really hard to find.

A good metric on this is the number of investments they've made. More than 4 and you're probably not getting any time.
Bertrand Russell is another person who's written on that subject. His question was more or less: if we reach the point where our basic needs can be taken care of by robots, will that mean everyone starts with their basic needs taken care of... or will it instead mean that whoever owns the robots, and claims their labor, will be in a very strong position?
We have seen this movie before. Remember when HP bought Palm/WebOS? The intentions look good on paper but for a hardware company, it is hard to try and create an ecosystem by throwing money at it. And Blackberry is to even a pure software company its a mix of hardware, software and services, which would make it harder.

Lenovo has had good relationship with Microsoft, they should probably try and do what Nokia did.

As much as I want to be on the ditch Flash bandwagon, I can't. Reality hits hard, trivial things that gets done using Flash is impossible or requires a lot of workarounds when implemented in pure html/javascript.

A few weeks back I was looking for a Javascript or HTML5 implementation for those bitly style "copy URL to clipboard" function. It just doesn't exist without flash (except in older versions of IE)! There are --webkit only implementations for grabbing things from a clipboard but not for pasting to it and I thought the former was more of a security issue.

Another thing I noticed is a smooth flash animation on my low powered Netbook looks like a jitter mess when implemented in canvas.

Until these issues are resolved, sadly flash isn't going anywhere soon.

1. How muc of the growth in women's share of those employed comes from growing female labour force participation and how much is declining male labour force participation?

2. A quarter of current GDP? How much of that is accounted for by the movement of goods and services from the non-monetarty sector to the monetary sector? Because that's not growth, that's accounting.
Denmark has a $20/hr minimum wage, and a nearly impossible to fall out of last-resort welfare payment (the kontanthjælp, "cash assistance") which provides a minimum income. And yet, it has quite low structural unemployment.

What those policies did do is destroy the low end of the labor market, the poorly paid dishwasher jobs supporting cheap restaurants. So what? That forced them to move upmarket. Denmark doesn't have $6 hamburger joints; instead, it has $12 hamburger joints. But it doesn't matter. The people who might be most impacted by that are precisely the people who now make the higher minimum incomes: when your income as a burger-joint dishwasher is triple what it is in the USA ($20/hr vs. $7/hr minimum wage, not to mention healthcare), you can certainly afford a doubling of the prices, and still come out ahead.

Now as a middle-class professional, it's probably bad for me: in the U.S. I could make a bunch of money and buy $6 hamburgers, while in Denmark I make a bunch of money and buy $12 hamburgers. But I can easily afford them either way, so I don't think social policy should be based on what benefits me.

Every time a "how to hire women" article pops up on HN, there's a flurry of comments that argue we should hire whoever can do the work best. That isn't what this article is about. In order to bring more diversity into your workplace or community, you have to consciously make the environment more welcoming to people who are different from you. When you let the "who can do the work" question decide your hires, prejudices control your decision without you even noticing. We must fight prejudice consciously or we contribute to oppression--not just the oppression women, but the oppression of any disadvantaged or underrepresented group.
The asset's capacity to facilitate economic trade causes individuals to store it so that they can participate in such exchanges when opportunities present themselves.

The sane price is the total amount of such wealth that individuals are storing or will store in the future, discounted for time, divided by the number of such assets.

Now good luck figuring that out.
if you post the Ys publicly, eventually you will cover most of the possible attack cases and DDOSing anyone may not be worth it anymore.
> In effect Paine advocates for a guaranteed minimum income, way back in 1795. That, to him, restored justice to agrarian society.

Another Marxist philosopher, eh?

Forced contribution backed up by violence of the state doesn't sound like justice to me, and is fundamentally incompatible with the liberty envisioned by America's founding fathers. If only we'd listen to them, we'd all be better off.

Edit: my delivery is either a bit too deadpan, or HN readers have encountered enough would-be libertarians who are completely unaware that Paine is arguably a founding father and Marx wasn't borne until 1818 that my attempt at satire has already been beaten by reality. I'll hope it's the former.

It is fallacious to argue that since similar arguments in the past were wrong, then current ones must be as well. We could be entering a world where machines can do all of the work that a segment of the population is capable of doing.

The most useful part of these discussions isn't figuring out which side is right. To me, it's figuring out what we'd do if this time actually is different.
Awesome. Thank you for making something cool.

The post assumes that the women you are trying to recruit are qualified.
It's definitely a bit disconcerting, but perhaps not in the way you mean. I'm not so worried about failing to achieve my dreams because I didn't get lucky.

I'm worried I'll fail and never know if I failed because I was unlucky, or because I just wasn't good enough. That's what makes me uncomfortable.

I get over it pretty quickly, but it's still unsettling, if only for a moment.
That's a bit like asking for a truck-proof bicycle.

1. A company you trust is acceptable as a CA. Nowhere did I say it had to be a company. I said users pick the CA's they trust.

2. If they want to distribute it with that CA. Nowhere did I say CA's must require payments. Yes a CA gets a say in who they will verify. That's the point.

3. If the CA gets "popped" or makes a mistake you remove them from your trust list. I don't expect regular people to know how to do this, but they could ask someone they know.

4. You didn't even read my arguments, you are attacking things I didn't say, so you are being intellectually dishonest, not I.

Wikipedia works even though everyone can commit by default, anonymously. Obviously there is some difference when people are downloading code and running it, and Wikipedia has its own kinds of problems with edit wars. Collaborative software development should look at the social and software structures that let Wikipedia stay useful. (not that this hasn't already gone both ways)
I think you've already highlighted an interesting signal that This Time It's Different: in the U.S., productivity has increased while wage gains have flat-lined. Workers aren't sharing in the additional created wealth. Sure, the aggregate amount of wealth to the poor has increased over time. I'd think that's a given. If that hasn't happened something has gone horribly wrong. But its value relative to other wealthier groups has steadily declined. That's a bad spot to be in. The workers' increasing productivity is earning themselves a smaller return over time. Indeed a shrinking return. The nastiest consequence of this in my observation has been political; when a large majority of the population has relatively little wealth to toss around (even taken as a whole) it's easy for their political representatives to become unresponsive.

Now, whether It's Different This Time because of characteristics inherent to a steadily improving economic system, or simply because of self-destructive tendencies that wealth-hoarding tends to exhibit, is a question I'd love an answer to. But I'm sure there will be others to tell me that this time is just like all the others too. Maybe I'll hear a decent explanation that allays my concerns.

Failure to pay taxes due is theft from the rest of society. And don't claim any ownership of founding fathers in your ideology - Old Ben Franklin has been sticking it to "all taxation is theft" Libertarians since 1783, in absolute and direct contradiction of your sentiment:

> "The Remissness of our People in Paying Taxes is highly blameable; the Unwillingness to pay them is still more so. I see, in some Resolutions of Town Meetings, a Remonstrance against giving Congress a Power to take, as they call it, the People's Money out of their Pockets, tho' only to pay the Interest and Principal of Debts duly contracted. They seem to mistake the Point. Money, justly due from the People, is their Creditors' Money, and no longer the Money of the People, who, if they withold it, should be compell'd to pay by some Law.

> "All Property, indeed, except the Savage's temporary Cabin, his Bow, his Matchcoat, and other little Acquisitions, absolutely necessary for his Subsistence, seems to me to be the Creature of public Convention. Hence the Public has the Right of Regulating Descents, and all other Conveyances of Property, and even of limiting the Quantity and the Uses of it. All the Property that is necessary to a Man, for the Conservation of the Individual and the Propagation of the Species, is his natural Right, which none can justly deprive him of: But all Property superfluous to such purposes is the Property of the Publick, who, by their Laws, have created it, and who may therefore by other Laws dispose of it, whenever the Welfare of the Publick shall demand such Disposition. He that does not like civil Society on these Terms, let him retire and live among Savages. He can have no right to the benefits of Society, who will not pay his Club towards the Support of it."

You are saying that "I have female co-workers who aren't put off by this culture! See, because I know them and they work in this culture, it's not sexist!" Which is a far cry from reality. At the very least, it's a far cry from Cristina's experience.

Does Thomas Paine himself not qualify as a 'founding father'? "Without the pen of the author of Common Sense, the sword of Washington would have been raised in vain.” --John Adams [1]

Whenever I see arguments rooted in the founder's intent, I always wonder exactly which founding fathers the arguer will choose.

In truth the people who might qualify as 'founding fathers' had a wide variety of political opinions. Perhaps the only unifying trait was that they were able to compromise to get things done.

I'm hoping your comment was purposeful hyperbole...

I hope you're joking, I really can't tell. In case you're not, Marx wasn't even born until 1818. Marxism as an ideology wasn't really a thing until at least the very late 19th century. Thomas Paine was most definitely not a Marxist philosopher.

Thanks! Awesome site.
A bit of civility, please? I'm sure you're sure you're the smartest man in the room, but don't go around spewing insults about topics you seem to have only a passing familiarity with.

For one, it's not ever been really tried to my knowledge. Some limited versions have been, and they were actually relatively successful, but hardly dispositive.

For two, basic income guarantees have plenty of theoretical benefits over EITC. The EITC creates some steep disincentives to work at certain points in the income spectrum, at some points topping a 100% marginal tax rate combined with other benefits, effectively trapping people in a low-income trough they can't escape from.

The unconditional basic income guarantee doesn't face this issue: you don't have drastic marginal tax rates anywhere, as it's actually one of the only proposals that make a flat income tax consistent with a humane welfare state.

Overall, though, you comment betrays a lack of understanding about what can cause unemployment. It's deeply lacking in theoretical backing. Just to stretch your mind a bit: one way to think about horses in the economy is that eventually they became mostly unemployed. Your statement is incapable of explaining that. At some point, the costs of employing and managing the worst employees in any sector will be greater than the capital costs of replacing them. And then they will be. Might be in a decade, might be in a century, but at some point that has to happen, unless you consider human labor inherently magical. And after that every advance of technology will make that group of too-expensive-to-employ workers ever larger.
Well, then, like anything else, you maximize your chances of success and having a few lucky breaks by: (a) having a long time horizon, developing expertise, and sticking with it, (b) simply going up to bat more and taking more and more chances (e.g. "You miss 100% of the shots you don't take"), and (c) learning from failure/mistakes and rebounding from it.

At first glance, his post reads like he had one lucky break after another after another, but I'm sure the road felt very shaky and uncertain along the way, and he doesn't mention any of his mistakes/failures and I'm sure he made several (it just wasn't the point of the post).

> People will still work, they'll do different jobs than they did before. Supply and demand.

The unaddressed issue is the real possibility that the majority of human effort is merely not cost effective anymore. In other words, human effort isn't worth paying a living wage. You say we have more population active in the work force ever than before but the total earnings have decreased steadily.

I'm currently working a project to eliminating a few good office jobs. They had a choice, hire more staff or build software to improve efficiency enough that the staff isn't necessary. The company chose to build the software.

So I can easily see where software has eliminated jobs, I haven't seen these "different jobs" that people are supposedly doing.
A statement is right or wrong based on reasons. The same argument is wrong for the same reasons it always has been. I'm curious why you think this time is different? In any case, if you find that kind of discussion useful I would say this:

The point of life should be to work on a job that you find fulfilling. If the boring things are all automated, then everyone can have a job they enjoy, and sitting around all day doing nothing gets boring really fast.
Lambda expressions are not necessarily first-class functions (I mean, they are in Python, but so is any other old function).

First class functions simply mean that a language treats functions as it would nearly any other data type, namely that they may be passed as parameters, bound to variables, and returned from other functions.

Python's poor handling of lambda expressions do not invalidate that functions are first-class citizens.

interestingly, all the costs you just described should in theory be written off in a sane tax system. People/families should be taxed on their net wealth gain, not gross income, and I don't understand why we only give corporations that affordance.
