Yeah we haven't found any new solutions to old problems for millennia, in fact progress stopped centuries ago. I wish people would just stop trying to improve the world and just enjoy being cynical about it instead.

Could have not said it better.
Alternatively, technology may amplify social problems instead.
Bingo. There's not really much overhead to creating a new cryptocurrency, so worries about deflationary pressures should be removed since new currencies can emerge. The currencies will emerge out of specific cultures, in this case the meme culture, but as we've seen in the past, through various gaming cultures and as someone else suggested "Bieber-coin". (Exercise for the reader: is this much different than dot-com bubble paper millionaires with thousands of options?)

Think of who is in the 1% of a country's wealth--a mix of capitalists who were good at acquiring that currency and folks who inherited it. In the cryptocurrency world, the moneyed are the creators, the miners and in the case of dogecoin, the creative-meme class who serve as a marketing arm. Many of them are in it for the lulz, and consequently have great upside with little downside, since it will always retain an intrinsic value as a karma proxy. The speculators may inadvertently make real-world millionaires out of this class.

It would not surprise me at all in the next year to see companies with large social subcultures at least attempt to launch their own cryptocurrencies, or extend their in-game currencies to become linked to a cryptocurrency.
At best, like Greenwald, he can prove someone broke into his apartment. But, like Greenwald, no one really cares about that.

The important part, that it was the government, he cannot prove. The part that he can prove, that someone entered his apartment, doesn't matter.
They were by some accounts, but others (in the Air Force?) were in favor of the less technologically complex Saab.
I noted that when writing my comment too. I think, in my case, the annoyance stemmed from change or being forced to change. It's not really that I didn't "like" jsmeaton.

I think your question is a good one though. I change my online identities subtlety over a fairly long period of time - and they seem to be converging towards my actual name and away from anonymity.

IMO, the phones are too big as it is, and there are simpler solutions:

or maybe they were wrong, and what they called "greed" was an ill defined and useless concept. In order to say what is "greed", one must usually define some means of obtaining wealth that are immoral. But given this one might as well say not to do immoral things, and forget the concept of greed.

While the article was not unreasonable, I had the feeling he was trying to reinterpret these millennia of moralizing into something that made economic sense, and all he could come up with was "monopolies are bad". Which is true in most cases, but I don't think he made a convincing connection with personal ethical behavior.
There are no moral phenomena, only moral interpretations.
Is this Nietzschean or something? What is it saying?
Nah, there was a huge media campaign against Street View. It was used by polititian to gain some "we care for you" profile and was mainly driven by the media companies that have a strong anti google stance in germany mainly because they want a part of Google's profits.
Hardware != software - releasing half assed hardware early is completely different that releasing a half assed web app that can be updated almost constantly. But I think Google is mostly not getting smacked down for releasing Google Glass too soon - the opinion that Glass is ready for prime time is getting smacked down. IMO Glass is obviously not ready for prime time and won't be for a few years at least, but this is all just moot anyway, the article is obvious clickbait. People love a good "Next year is the year of the whatever".
"Puberty Love" can be an ... um ... lethal option, too.

They are angry at companies who provide corporate busses to make neighborhoods more comfortable for their employees than they are for other people, rather than supporting public infrastructure that everyone benefits from.

As to your comment about 'bullshit' - you seem kind of angry.
I cannot argue your points, because they seem to provide you with success. I cannot argue with Patrick's points because they seem to provide him with success. Thus I may arrive to the conclusion that there should not be any absolutes in marketing.

Taxes do go negative for assets decreasing in value. You may deduct any (realized) losses in value from your other (realized) gains. You may also deduct up to $3k/year of those losses from your income. If you have losses exceeding this amount, you may carry them over into the following year and deduct again.

*This is the US tax code, but I suspect many countries operate similarly.

Buckminster is a good old New England last name; a Joseph Buckminster gave the Phi Beta Kappa address at Harvard in 1802 (see Adams's history of the US 1800-1816). I can't imagine that Fuller's first name hindered him any more than (say) Kingman Brewster's hindered him.
Just Tweet your Bitcoin address. All Bitcoin transactions are inherently public in that everyone knows which addresses have sent how much to which other addresses; the only anonymity is that nobody knows who (as in which real-world person) owns/controls the address.
...what?

Are you seriously arguing that there's a fundamental difference in the way the sexes harbour grudges? I think you're wrong there dude...
Without morality, people will destroy themselves regardless of their socio-political-economic system.
Sure. You could spend that time writing posts on Hacker News that influence more than one voter.
Or if you really want to prove it, use your Bitcoin address to sign a message containing your Twitter ID.
Do you need iPhone, if iWatch has the same, or bigger display? (curved sapphire glass). Smartphone solves problem of having a computing device all the time with you, but in order to get that you have to pay with screen size. Smartglasses solves the same problem as smartphone, but without tradeoffs. They can display touch, augmented, or desktop, or tv interfaces. You don't need a tablet, phone, laptop, desktop, tv. You need boxes with small(pocket), medium(backpack), and large(desk) computing power, and glasses that can receive video over the air. (and some input method). If glasses are only for display, they don't need large battery.
So you think we should do away with a minimum wage altogether?
Meaningful function names are a good start. But they can only answer "what" and not "why."

You can embed javascript in the NimbleText substitution pattern, which lets you go beyond just matching and replacement.
I didn't find a single argument in favor of the claim in the title, i.e. that the market economy will somehow destroy itself without morality. It's just a firm belief the author has, or perhaps a hope ...
Yes, it was amazing. The good news is that it was turned into a book, The Theoretical Minimum. The bad news is that the book was really disappointing. I'm more of a learn-by-reading than learn-by-watching person, but Susskind's lectures are amazing.

Interesting that you chose to specify social problems. I would say that social problems are perhaps those which technology is particularly poor at addressing, even though it is very good at solving practical ones (how to get from point A to point B, how to live longer, how to better keep track of your information, etc.). As opposed to these practical problems, social problems seem to be the ones without any clear cut "correct" answer, and I couldn't really say that technology is a good tool for solving ambiguous problems.

(By the way the "social" I'm referencing here are things like class conflict, racism, etc. - not "social" as in communication tools.)
I know I use vim and shell out to fmt a lot when writing in TeX. Is there a version of fmt that is comment aware, or some flags to it?

That's only true of consular immunity. Diplomatic immunity is somewhat broader. That said, consular immunity is the relevant one in this story.
I'm a little surprised such a basic article has made it to frontpage of HN, and especially considering a number of omissions - such as that Cookies should be marked with a 'secure' flag when using HTTPS, or that weak ciphers should be explicitly disabled.

I found two things interesting:

Here was a lady who pursued her dream (singing), but it left her disillusioned. What she ultimately became successful at was something she was good at, not necessarily her passion.

Also, it provides a stark contrast to what HN considers the typical entrepreneur's story arc (whether as a funded or a bootstrapped entrepreneur).

"It's not about morality versus markets" (my emphasis)

Markets are a great optimization mechanism. It is up to societies to decide what they should optimize.
At some point in our past we transitioned from being an amoral animal to a self-aware species with notions of morality. Certain things/behaviors are right and others are wrong. That clearly had a survival advantage.
Even more hilarious is the fact that SHA-256 doesn't involve floating point operations at all in the first place.
Yeah when you describe it in the best possible terms it sounds wonderful.

Putting in that 9-5 every day "servanting," then returning to my spacious and luxurious servants quarters with the windows that open upon la jardin to pursue my interests and hobbies until dinner is called at 7PM.

Or perhaps about town to enjoy some of my filthy lucre (which should be also covering some sort of retirement and probably taxes but isn't), or I know, I'll have some of my friends come over, the Master and Mistress of the house certainly don't mind me having a social life like a normal person!
Some causes of market destruction could be monopolies (that grow powerful enough to close market to new entrants) and "market for lemons". Not sure how morality could help though.

In-game currencies are already a thing, but I suspect the reason they never caught on as viable liquid currency is their centralized nature.

I didn't know most of the team worked there either, but if I remember correctly, they have employed Junio Hamano for some time.

Mountain out of a mole hill. Glad someone got some sense knocked into them and enable this flag by default, but Linux has supported TRIM for a long time. It was just a matter of adding the mount option.

And by the way, last I checked there's still a long laundry list of non-default incantations to optimize SSD usage on Windows, where you're stuck harder because you don't have control over things like the I/O scheduler.
I completely agree. In every physics book from feynman i've read, the most pleasant thing was the introduction paragraphs that gave you a context, and tried to give you an intuition of what happend, and i think that´s a very important thing which probably inspired a lot of school book writers. Now for the "hard" part of solving real problems, i think my current school book were better.

It seems that way because you only skimmed the titles. For example, the one on Swedish Billionaires is a factual correction of an article that was popular on HN earlier but wrong.

Hashtagging Important Emails

==

Problems Being Solved:

1) Personal - Help organize your important emails and group conversation threads regardless of subject header.

2) Team Projects - Much of the content lives in the emails. Hashtagging relevant and milestone project emails into a central team access hub or a Sharepoint for Emails. This enable project progression tracking as oppose to creating a separate project log typically with Excel.

3) Work - Replaces overwhelming, unnecessary or less-critical CC'ed emails. Instead, invite users onto a Hashtag thread for them to read at their own time.

4) Search - Existing Search features are inadequate. Really requires the user to remember the content/context of the email before search can begin.

5) Sharepoint - Mostly use as storing files. Lacks files context and project description.

==

Experience:

- Organizing through hashtag in the email content is a more fluent experience than reorganizing your emails into folders, which is only for personal view, and not team based.

- Max numbers of hashtags in emails can be set.

- New social rules would be created that I cannot control. Within a professional setting, if employees are using hashtags in excess, they would be flown upon.

==

Testing Assumption:

- Market would be focusing largely on professionals and will also have an Enterprise-dedicated product.

- Hashtag currently associates with entertainment. Social fear of it in professional communications.

- Frequency of use. Crux of inbox overload from massive unnecessary emails. Organizing important threads from non-important messages.

Is this a joke ? Isn't there supposed to be a full all out war happening right now in that city ?
Here's my point: even the job you can offer someone in India as a servant, cook, driver, DJ, depends on having access to that opportunity. You don't just go in a slum and randomly pick somebody (if you do, I admire you, but you're not the average). That access itself is based on a lot of other factors that have nothing to do with economics, and the rules for that access vary greatly accross India.

"Friedrich Hayek once said that to complain about the workings of the market was like complaining about the weather. But at least the Met Office never colonised our souls."

Seems to be a lot of expressions like that in left wing journalism. "Colonised our souls." Like all of a sudden you're reading a Yeats poem.
Damn, censored. Wonder who gets admin on news.yc, anyway...
This is the first I've heard of the comparability argument. At first glance it reminds me of the old, "separate but equal" catchphrase we used when dealing with ethnic minorities in the US. The system led to treatment that was indeed separate, but equal... not so much.
There is a war happening all over the country, but the event WILL take place with any circumstance, nothing will stop us from making it happen.

I have no idea what this comment says.
Let us journey back in time, to the year 1995. (Technically 1.03 is from 1998, but I'm sure that functions for passing fd's appear in every version.)

qmail-1.03:

fd.h
fd_copy.c
fd_copy.3
fd_move.c
fd_move.3

You could find similar functions in other programs by the same author, e.g., ucspi-tcp, daemontools, etc.

I prefer time-tested, secure code from 1995 to the things you tend to find on Github because this 1990's code is highly portable. It still compiles cleanly 18 years later and is not just tested on one or two systems, e.g., Linux and OSX.

But I'm glad this made the front page. No web browser needed. No installed scripting languages necessary. A single .c file. If only there were more like this on Github.
There's still coupling, which may or may not hamper isolated testing. So it is a bit less pure, but perhaps much easier to sell.
LibreOffice is one of the biggest pieces of trash I have ever used. You must be joking.

I use it as a canonical example of unusable software.
That reminds me of a suggestion by Charles Eisenstein in his book Sacred Economics - decaying currency, along with zero or negative interest. It would be interesting to see such a "funcoin"! It might not even have to decay that fast to fend off speculators.

The question is whether or not stopping to pick up passengers is illegal or not. That's different from parking, which implies that the driver is not in the vehicle to move it in case of emergency (or a Muni vehicle that needs to use the stop).

It's not like anyone ever just said "don't be greedy" and nothing more. But even then:

http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greed

Also see: selfishness, double standards, externalizing risks and costs while the reaping profits. Such things (can) stem from greed, and they can add up to catastrophic effects. These effects linger, while the "gains" from greed end when the greedy person dies.

Gentrification is the reality, its just a matter of where at this point. Why is gentrification centered around where the tech companies are based better than gentrification in lower-income neighborhoods. Either way people are getting displaced and rents are going up somewhere as demand exceeds supply.

I find it interesting that in this situation in general (and in your comments in particular) most of the blame seems to be focused on the tech companies. The businesses are just making economically rational decisions around how providing transportation helps recruiting. What is their alternative?

There are two sides to the supply and demand equation. Asking companies to scale back the "demand" for workers moving into the city is ridiculous. The City of San Francisco is the one that is actually to blame for not appropriately managing the supply side of the housing market by making it so hard to get new projects approved and built. Why is all the focus on the companies and not on the city government and neighborhood NIMBYs that seems to proliferate all of SF.
No need for a full blown electronics class. This subject falls under Switching Theory and can be covered thoroughly in the first (and often a single) semester. Starting with elementary set theory and boolean algebra, you go into the combinatorial logic (that covers De Morgan and Karnaugh), and finish with finite state machines (automata).

My Discrete Math 101 course (UNC-Wilmington) covered Karnaugh Maps, along with a heavy dose of Boolean Algebra. For various historical reasons, I've actually taken Discrete Math twice, and have noticed that the content of a class titled such can very dramatically. The other Discrete Math course had much less emphasis on Boolean Algebra and logic, and a lot more on elements of probability and statistics.

It's not wasting my vote if I don't want either the Democrat or the Republican. By your logic, the vote is equally wasted if I vote Republican and the Democrats win, because I "didn't influence the outcome". Voting isn't a lottery game, you're not trying to use your vote to predict the outcome. You use it to voice your opinion. My opinion is that the two candidates provided are neither adequate, therefore I will not endorse either.

EDIT: And in parliamentary procedure, abstaining from voting is a valid option, and it is not a waste of a vote. You are specifically going on record as not approving of the choice being provided.

Yes, there's zillions of better articles. But why would a serious argument against markets be voted up here? (Any serious market abolitionist would explain pervasive externalities, enormous inefficiency of markets, rewarding participants for acting sociopathically and punishing others, etc.) But this is a place where people discuss hawking things called "minimum viable products" and so on.
Do you think all the laws which fail to get enforced regularly should get enforced regularly, or just the laws you think should be enforced regularly?
