Newer laptops are including DP, but seemingly only high end stuff.

My Sager NP8255S has mini, fullsize, and HDMI ports.

It's unfortunate as well, because DP lets you daisy chain monitors together; it's the perfect form factor for notebooks all around. You only have to plug in a mouse, keyboard, and single DP dongle for full power to drive 4x monitors, and only using up 2 USB ports (assuming powered equipment). No messing around with USB hubs running multi monitor stuff with AC adapters crowding the power strip. This gets rid of the need for a dedicated docking unit as well.

SQL? Like in relational databases? Like in relational algebra?

I think this demonstrates the point someone made upthread that people don't consider a lot of math to be math.
Ive actually found the annotate framework can do most primitive GROUP BY queries (and in the next release or two will gain a lot more power, as its a big focus). Additionally, many of the other weird queries I need can be expresset with the queryset.extra() command, which means I get to keep working with querysets. All this support is only a few versions old though, so 5 years ago it definitely was much worse.

Does source IP address make a difference when searching fares on ITA Software's Matrix[1]? To my knowledge, ITA Software is where Kayak and many of the other booking sites get their data, so it's normally what I use when searching for flights. Since they don't actually sell tickets, I've always assumed I'm seeing "neutral" results, but now I'm curious.

It's not just the number of coins.

The people who created this were not idiots, they learned by looking at previous coins.

1. more coins for larger transactions instead of fractions
2. faster block rate (one a minute)
3. faster difficulty adjustment time (4 hours vs days or weeks)
4. faster halving time (every other month or so)
5. faster time to last block (mid 2015)
6. faster confirmations

The random payout on a block is a neat idea. I think they borrowed it from lottocoin or luckycoin.

It doesn't have to hit a dollar to be successful, even if it hits a penny USD, it will generate a ton of activity and "wealth".

The only big problem they have is their blockchain is going to be insanely huge in a year, like staggeringly unmanageable.

The price descrimination that the airlines do is so opaque and manipulative, this is exactly why one needs to be cognizant of the technicals. We are really only a single logical step removed from a pretty bad place (read: racist/sexist/elitist, etc) with this teqnique to dynamic pricing and (essentially) ... front-running.[1] For example, we can charge black people more (based on zip-code demographics) to discourage them from flying first class. We could, if we wanted to, require PII prior to bidding on tickets. Imagine if the NYSE priced publicly traded equities in this manner? The irony of cutting out the middle man to reduce costs, is that at some stage, we may be paying an intermediary (broker/marketmaker) to anonymize our order flow to get "fair" prices.

[1] This is what it really is, lets be honest.
You are right in that market cap means total value... however, in the context of the article and the comment I was replying to, they meant total coins (where else would the 100 billion number come from?)

Wait... now that I read the above comment again, I think you may be right... they are saying that it would only take the total value (market cap) of dogecoin to be 8 times the current market cap of bitcoins for the dogecoin to be worth at least $1 a coin.

So nevermind, you are right and I was wrong. In my defense, the original comment was a little unclear about what they meant.
Thanks a lot for your reference. A couple days ago, I was almost convinced to use GO after I took a look about half of its examples. People said, we are not going to catch up the languages which are changed every 6 months. The same applied for Javascript and JQuery, you don't really need the latter, and there are so many JavaScript libraries. Once you change your job, you may abandon some of them. Look at my another comment. For the same reason, I'm not going to take time to learn a new language.
I followed that exact progression, except that I'm using Pelican to create the static site today.
People do go to Wal Mart for delicatessen items. Wal Mart sells packages lunch meats, sliced cheese, etc. Wal Mart even has ready to eat sandwiches available. They're terrible, but it's cheap and they're not bad enough to make people stop eating them. Likewise, Best Buy is indeed the real world. Mom is going to go to Best Buy to pick up a new laptop. Dad's getting his new TV there (with Monster cables so he doesn't get an HDMI virus). Your cousin was there last weekend buying the camera that looks the best on the display stand. Because, if Best Buy doesn't have it, there's no one to sell it to me. That means I need to go on Amazon and shop around, or ask the family tech guy, and he always gives weird suggestions or asks questions around what I'm really looking for. Best Buy just tells me what to buy.

There's a reason your local deli has one store with three clerks and is only open until 9pm, while Wal Mart is bigger than Jesus and open 24/7. We don't live in the real world. The real world doesn't demand 4K with cables that can carry the signal at full color because they have different priorities than we do.
Seems more accurate than other ratings.
I missed the HN discussion of the previous article about founder salaries that lead to this [1] but reading it now it's blowing my mind how sheltered from reality the community here is. One HNer & startup founder says 80k doesn't go very far in NYC, when the median income in NYC is around $50,000 so a lot of people/families have to get by on less than 80k. I live in Brooklyn and understand there is a lot in New York you cannot afford at 80k, but to suggest that it "doesn't go a long way" is to completely misunderstand how fortunate you are.

No problem. I modified my comment to reflect this to avoid any further confusion.
Australia has an easy solution: the Telecommunications Ombudsman. As soon as you raise a complaint with them the telecommunications company gets two weeks to fix things before they start getting financial penalties and having to spend time/resources fighting the complaint, so typically as soon as you have the complaint number you get escalated to the secret team with good people-skills and the power to do everything the lower support staff told you was impossible.

If your complaint has any merit they'll fix it for you because fixing it is vastly cheaper than fighting it.

>That's the huge problem with IMAP: it can do too much and it's one of the more complicated "classic" protocols (from the area where RFCs were much more concise and bare-bones).
There are so many implementation bugs in various clients and servers that IMAP feels like being kept together by duct tape.

IMAP does much because we have many needs. And HTML does even more, but we still have several top notch browsers competing.

In any case, if IMAP development is so difficult, have people join ONE IMAP library project that tries to be as complete as it can, instead of each mailer creating its own IMAP client libs.

Like we have Webkit/Blink which is used across multiple browsers.

Indeed, with today's $940 Bitcoin, a $1 Dogecoin would that the Dogecoin market would be worth over 5 times the current Bitcoin market.

It's interesting when you look at 42/BTC/LTC/DOGE. It seems the common denominator is rarity. The less rare, the less value, the more the higher the value. Sounds similar to something. DOGE are the pennies of cryptocurrencies. Just two cents, or two DOGE? I'm not sure anymore.

Bad. Would you like to get a coffee together sometime?

Good. I'm heading into town on Saturday, do you want to grab a quick drink at XYZ cafe early afternoon? They make a mean espresso. Anyway, I need to run for now, but let me know!

Something along those lines usually works for me. I might be analyzing things too much, but with the second example...

1. You're already going into town, it doesn't sound like you just sit at home, but instead you actually get out. Also, this coffee isn't the focus of the day, it's just a quick get together, and not a big deal for anyone.

2. You make decisive plans, which sounds confident.

3. You said you need to run, once again showing you're a busy person, with a life.

This is a service targeted at the US so it has to target the US's (antiquated) banking system. Checks are on the way out, but most Americans still need to write or cash them fairly regularly. Chip-and-pin cards are still not widely supported in the US, but support for magnetic stripe cards is almost ubiquitous. It does seem outdated by international standards, but for the US, this is actually a step forward compared to the check cashing services that many poor people use.
I don't know, I sort of think it's refreshing for a company to ask for money in this day and age.

>People do go to Wal Mart for delicatessen items. Wal Mart sells packages lunch meats, sliced cheese, etc. Wal Mart even has ready to eat sandwiches available. They're terrible, but it's cheap and they're not bad enough to make people stop eating them.

I was using the term "delicatessen" as a quality indentifier, not merely as a product category. Any old cheese and lunch meat won't do.

Sure, but it's not like it's 1995 and the local Best Buy at Boise, ID is the only option. Tens of millions have an account and order from Amazon and lots of even more dedicated electronics sites.

What's difficult about "going on Amazon and shopping around"? We're not talking about our cousin or dad here, you were relating your story of visiting Best Buy for that cable for your Lenovo. Why even go there?
Are you talking about the massive transaction that broke the chain and it forked or something else?
Agreed. I was mining primecoin to get bitcoin, and noticed this new thing called doge. Since I like the idea of having 10,000 of something I exchanged for it instead.

You know what? I have had more fun with that then any of the bitcoin I have. I have been playing with day trading, tipping people online and buying things from people.
You really want to present this law as a matter of women wanting an "out"? You have no idea why anyone is advocating for this.

I have no problem talking "men's issues." I have a problem, though, talking about men's issues with a person who hasn't even investigated the very foundation of what is happening in a situation before jumping to "me, me, me."

Women are regularly-- constantly-- kidnapped and sexually/emotionally/physically abused into sex work. In the US-- not just in third world countries. They make no profit. They win the prize of being beaten, but not to death. Then, when what they're doing is discovered, they go to jail. Instead of the kidnapper. Which they can't fight because the person who has actually profited from what they've done would literally kill them and their entire family if they did.

That is why anyone is advocating that buying-- not selling-- sex be illegal. Because there are far more men benefiting from female prostitution than females benefiting from it. And the organizations that try to rescue women are made helpless by current legislation.

The solution presented is imperfect, of course, because 100% of women do not fall into this category. It's just that the women in this situation have no way of identifying as such without someone going after the people they love.

On the other hand, you have men who are down in the dumps, who seek a prostitute to feel better. There may be legitimate mental health issues there, which is deeply unfortunate.

We could make their side "legal" as well. But would that make the situation better or worse? It seems to me that jailing a man who purchases sex is the least of two "evils." Which is the best any legislation can do, really.

If you want someone to be mad at, please, be mad at the pimps. Not women-- as a big, faceless entity, no less.

Also try to familiarize yourself with an issue before jumping to conclusions like this. If something sounds completely absurd, chances are you haven't heard both sides.

He said that he answered the questions honestly and didn't lie on his profile. It was merely a matter of exploiting OKCupid's algorithms to get himself recommended to women he liked.

You suggest he should just trust OKCupid's algorithms to find people, but that's assuming that their algorithms are good in the first place, and that there isn't much competition from other men doing the same thing.

Actually no, today the peso was devalued by 3% compared to the US dollar. In just one day.

And bitcoins can easily be exchanged by US dollars, so is not a bad a idea for Argentinians after all.
Yes. The author changed a value in an updated client that caused half of the network to see one chain as valid, and the other half to make scores of sub chains on the side. The value of the transaction was not the issue, but the developer not understanding how to maintain a consensus over hard forking changes.
i think he's implying that since the large transaction was on an old version of the client, and caused the fork, that the Dogecoin devs are at fault.

Ask HN: Am I being lowballed?
I develop Python / JavaScript applications and have a few years experience programming but am not formally educated in CS. I worked for 1.5 years using both languages on the job and have been working on a side project for the last few months.

I interviewed with a local company a few times and have been offered a rate that seems unusually low to me, $15/hr. This is much less than I made prior to leaving my last job to focus on my startup. The employer says that it is a trial period and pay would increase if all went well, which I understand; still, this rate seems lower than would be reasonable to pay even an intern when everyone else is compensated at market rate.

I'm not sure whether to take a chance and prove myself or how to respond to this. Do you think this is an unfair rate? I am in a large Texas city.
This solution won't give the correct results because when you sort and count duplicates, the text you output could be in a different order.

Edit: And to be clear, you should use the hash solution anyway since it is O(n+m).
No it did not. Bitcoin has trouble because there was a parameter in Berkeley DB that nobody thought would ever be hit (the number of locks associated with a particular table). They'd tested against this and believed the value to be enough, except that in very rare cases when values outside what they thought possible caused some nodes to reject a particular block. With a portion of the network seeing the block as invalid, the consensus was broken and the chain forked.

There were test cases, peer review and discussion about the potential problems. None of those occurred with dogecoin, who had a rabid developer changing values without understanding what they did.
