> nobody cares about IPv6 except for us tech nerds

Nobody cares that your app is written in Rails of NodeJS. People care that it works and does what matters to them. IPv4 is doomed to not work at some point so we "tech nerds" have to care and do something about it.

> IPv6 is used by nobody

From the top of my mind, many of the french ISPs have IPv6 ready on the customer side, a radio button click away, while some are even on by default. I can readily assume that today, every worthwhile machine connected to a LAN supports at least IPv6 local scope. Also, every single Mac out there uses an IPv6 VPN (over IPwhatever) when (at least) Back to my Mac is active (ifconfig utun0).

> in five years it will still be nowhere

Unless you settle for impractical definitions of "nowhere" as "not ubiquitous", it is definitely there already. IPv6 does solve real problems today, locally and globally.

You should consider what you just wrote and and what it says about you.
You talk a lot about taking the individual worker's earnings, and not a single word about the people who actually "earn" a lot more than those workers.

Most of the surplus value created by workers already ends up in other hands. The question is whether it's going to the right hands.
...Read the previous answers. It is simply not profitable. CPU mining is not profitable at all, GPU mining is almost if not already unprofitable. Even most ASICs can't break even like trafficlight said.
Great to hear that! What we're trying to do is really "Good coffee for everyone who likes good coffee", meaning that we're not targeting coffee connaiseurs and experts but just anyone who likes good coffee always. So I really believe competitive price should be on our focus.

Show HN: A very simple way to share your location
You have some heavy duty hate going on to dislike everything a person does because of their opinion on another matter.
I've created a super simple way to share your location. You simply go to mapme.in and then you get a unique link to text, tweet, email to a friend from your phone, tablet or desktop.

I decided to create this after a night out trying to describe where I was to friend. It was too much hassle spelling the street name and I wished I could of texted her a link. They weren't familiar with area.

Appreciate any feedback, its super simple! :-)

If we ignore everything ever said by people with nasty beliefs, we'd basically never read anything written more than 100 years ago, and a decent chunk of the stuff written since. Anti-slavery campaigners in to 1800s used to beat their children. Pretty much every writer in antiquity was either a slaver or pederasts by modern standards. Where do you stop?

It's worth being aware of so you know to take such things into account, you never know when such views might introduce an unwritten assumption or colour a conclusion, but if it's not relevant to the material then it's a side issue.
Once you realize that 100% of his writing is about the self-hating gay Mormon experience, you notice a lot more subtext. In this piece, the junior programmer who becomes a middle-manager to please the marketers is a metaphor for gay Mormons who marry women to please the church.

EDIT: saying that, some kind of featureful document store implementation inside postgres seems inevitable. Isn't that all going to be hstore-based though, what with the new stuff coming in 9.4?

No it's not a good comparison because you cannot brick a PC installing Linux.

Don't most people who use Disqus just use the JavaScript to embed it?

At the pure tech level it's not equivalent. One required the ability to cut and paste and be done in a few moments, the other requires you to implement your own interface against the REST interface.

For a drop-in replacement, although not open source, I think moot.it looks pretty good: https://moot.it/

They're aiming at the embeddable market for comments and forums and have a pretty nice product.

Discourse is of course good on the open source side, but unless someone can point me at a JavaScript tool to allow embedding as simply as Disqus or Moot.it I think it's not the best match for this scenario.

As always... what's the full use-case? What are they trying to achieve? What are the priorities guiding the decision making process?

Discourse wins if the important criteria here is open source and the person asking the question is fine implementing the integration using the REST API.

Moot.it wins if you just want a drop-in replacement and that trumps the open source.

Writing your own wins if you want a project that will take far longer than you anticipate :)
The Philippines does have a large presence on Odesk, Elance and similar services. I hear often from people that they are interested in giving in a try.

Only the relatively well off have a computer and internet connection in the home. In the Philippines, even the increased electrical usage from a computer could be a significant cost. Cheap tablets and smart phones bring more computers into homes, but those are limited for doing work and you still don't have an internet connection.

The relatively well off increasingly have more options as well. Wages are creeping up. Entry level call center work can pay nearly half the minimum wage in the U.S. Again, this is in a country for an unskilled laborer might work for a few dollars a day for an 8 - 10 hour day. So, the world opens up even more for the middle class while the poor get left behind (sound familiar?)

I don't know how much these sorts of services could help the poor anyways. Imagine having to rely on someone to do work for you who is constantly having a difficult time paying bills and has little money to deal with problems in general. Maybe a low end co-working space could help out with this. There are internet cafes all over the place for around 30 cents an hour, but that's really expensive for internet.

> Other than, you know, powerful people who depend on an endless supply of cheap labor, and politicians who rely on an exhausted, frightened, ADD electorate.

This is the thing I could not understand when reading Marx, the idea that there would come a time "of plenty" when no-one will have to work anymore and we'll all be free to pursue our intellectual pursuits and such.

Supposing that this utopian feature is attainable (which I highly doubt), then who would fix the broken stuff? Because stuff will break. Who will create new stuff? Because, as crazy as it sounds, there's no unlimited supply of "stuff". The only two connected answers that I can think of is that we'll do indeed manage to attain the singularity (which I highly doubt is possible) and second (and as important) is that we'll "convince" the machines to work for us. And there was a third way that was already tried, trying to create a "new man". The Soviets failed miserably at it.
I was looking for the same and came up with Moot - https://moot.it/

Looks like early days but it's pretty progressing tech-wise, well worth a look.

Choice quote (after he had a chance to reflect on the response to his essay):

"...it has become clearer and clearer to me, since writing this essay, that gay activism as a movement is no longer looking for civil rights, which by and large homosexuals already have. Rather they are seeking to enforce acceptance of their sexual liaisons as having equal validity with heterosexual marriages, to the point of having legal rights as spouses, the right to adopt children, and the right to insist that their behavior be taught to children in public schools as a completely acceptable "alternative lifestyle." It does not take a homophobe to recognize how destructive such a program will be in a society already reeling from the terrible consequences of "no-fault" divorce, social tolerance of extramarital promiscuity, and failing to protect our adolescents until they can channel their sexual passions in a socially productive way. Having already lost control of the car, we now find the gay activists screaming at us to speed up as we drive headlong toward the cliff."

Was this as ridiculous a pastiche of clichés when it was written in 1995 as it is now?

Or did programmers really only start to have social lives, dislike permanent crunch mode and plan before coding in the last 20 years?

It sounds to me like Card read through the Jargon file, i.e. the self-image of a considerably earlier subculture of programmers, took it at face value, added some hyperbole and wrote it up as a kind of revelation.
Didn't the fact the that the price shown (at least to me, as usual on the interwebs it's hard to be sure it's the same for everyone) was in Euros per cup provide a hint that this might be a European company?
I disagree to some point. I think it's a very simple problem that we've made very complex; work or starve to death.

This makes us, a modern civilized, post-enlightenment civilization very queasy, but people will do unbelievable amounts of very terrible work to make sure they have a full belly and mediocre shelter from the elements.

> the people you are talking about may have different priorities and choices in life to yourself.. Is that inherently a bad thing? I don't think so, and so I attempt to avoid generalising when it comes to this.

I agree, but not all prioritizations are beneficial ones. They don't have to be mine, but I do wish that everybody's personal prioritizations led them to be at lest economically self-sufficient if not beneficial for society.

I think you nailed it on the head though. I have some very dear friends from when I grew up poor that are still poor...and the reason for it is inevitably the life choices they've made that have kept them in that state -- because they've prioritized and made important things that don't help them get out of it.

(kudos on getting out of the bad state you were in, I'd love to know more of your story)
AD BLOCK PLUS. You're welcome.
Try LiveScript: http://livescript.net/

JS semantics are those of a functional-oop language. It lacks a few standard functions (LiveScript has prelude-ls) and a ton of syntactic support for things. Once these are in place, you can write the code which looks and feels like Ocaml.

For example, moment.js function is `moment(dateString, formatString)`. In LiveScript I used it as:

parseDate = (flip moment) "DD/MM/YYYY"

Now tell me that this doesn't look like functional code :)

(The only really lacking feature in JS is of course TCO, but then Clojure, so yeah, let's just trampoline everything.)

Someone sent a friend of mine this code: ”Why is this not working?!” It was puzzling for a few minutes :)
The main motivation is to use the same set of npm-managed modules for backend and frontend model+logic.

A secondary motivation is using two familiar APIs — MongoLab and Firebase — to access existing PostgreSQL databases.

Not really. Could be a cheap localization effort.

Although the weight is measured in kg, which speaks for a European company. But then again, the cheapest plan says "1kg every second month" instead of "500g per month" which is kinda weird.

>> Most of the surplus value created by workers already ends up in other hands. The question is whether it's going to the right hands.

Nope, the question is: "Is anyone allowed to take someone else's stuff without his consent?", and the obvious answer is a resounding: "No".

Next, for various woeful reasons, you might be inclined to ask a follow-up question: "Not even if he's rich?!", and the obvious answer to that is: "No, not even if he's rich. You've got your property, he's got his, and that's it."
If he says so, I should admit I'm wrong, but maybe not just yet.

This way of thinking (size of the observable universe is constant) avoids the whole question of time complexity. To actually measure the time complexity of the algorithm, you need to consider inputs of different sizes. You could run exactly the same algorithm in a different universe (that is why it's called "universal" after all) and you'd get a different running time. The time complexity is then the relationship between the two running times and the universe sizes.
> why don't people simply negotiate for higher wages and refuse to do the work otherwise? That it's so difficult to live on a low wage has to do with the political infrastructure throwing money at the financial sector for decades, and not to do with any form of natural exchange per se.

Be that as it may, what can we do about it? As an average voter, what policy can I advocate that might make a practical difference?

(The only way forward I can see is a succession of working hours limits, like the EU's current 40-hours/week working time directive. In a decade maybe we can bring that down to 35, then in another decade 30, and so on. That's a politically acceptable approach, at least in some countries, that would improve human quality of life, though there are obvious downsides)

Let me rephrase my objection to your initial post: To experiment means to test a hypothesis. Even if you can write down a hypothesis concerning the metaphysical (although I don't see how that's possible without resorting to what Wittgenstein in TLP calls "nonsense") you will not be able to test it. Therefore metaphysical experimentation is impossible.
I like how practical it is. I normally use WhatsApp or LINE for this, but even on my laptop the geolocation is fairly accurate.

Taking care of their neighbors' daughter is not a valid reason not to work. That person had a choice, and made the wrong decision. Just like the person who's daughter it actually is made the choice to go to work instead of stay and watch their daughter.

You'll find a great many of the "valid" reasons for not working usually come down to very basic life choices of work or do something that's not work.

That being said, I think the state needs to provide basic work support services like childcare, medical care, birth control education and workplace regulation around sick days, parental leave etc. so most of those failed choices go away.

Hi!

Thanks for the tip. I know about Pact Coffee and similar services and they seem to serve their customers very well.

In any case, I believe it's worth pointing out that we're offering something quite different. We're not targeting connaiseurs, coffee geeks or in general people willing to spend time looking for their favorite blend, roast or origin. Instead, we're offering a single great blend carefully selected by us, aimed at all those who like great coffee and want to have it automagically. It's just great coffee always there when you want it.

That's also why we are able to offer our single product at about 1/4 the price those other services can. Our beans are not hand roasted, they are prepared by experienced professionals in a fully equiped and scalable modern roastery.

Cheers!

To answer your question with a harsh bit of reality. I frankly don't care what happens to them.

Work or starve to death (I know: this is an impolite notion in modern society). Most people will figure this out and turn the choice into work or go to prison for a minor offense and get three square meals for a while. But that's a different problem. The vast majority will (and has in the past) took to the work instead. And there's a virtually unlimited supply in simply maintaining the existing infrastructure without building anything new at all.

Given a choice of my tax dollars feeding, housing and clothing idle healthy hands, or putting those hands to use, I'd gladly pay more tax dollars for a nicer civilization to live in.
