Surprised by the downvote. It is an open source solution that does exactly what the parent comment was asking (not having to think about how to map json to a relational database). I don't see a problem mentioning some software (again: open source) as a viable solution to that problem.
I don't think that is as certain as you present it. Giving something away does not relinquish copyright, it merely passes one physical copy to someone else.

If what you state would be true then the GPL wouldn't have a leg to stand on, physical copies are rarely if ever used!

I've always loved this story. Reading it now, though, it's funny that it was written by the guy most famous for his robot stories. They seem like a pretty glaring omission. If you could program the job skills and knowledge onto a human brain, why not a positronic one? All the non-creative jobs would just end up being automated.

Which is basically the situation we're heading towards now in any case. Pretty prescient, I suppose.

Yes, but you're saving to accumulate an amount with some particular purpose, usually not because your money will theoretically buy you more tomorrow (likely it will buy you less in the normal inflationary version of the world).

Hoarding is something like but not quite exactly the same as saving.
Which would immediately shut down every web site you don't pay for.

I wouldn't even have thought that Helsinki needed that much cooling in the summer. The summer highs aren't that high (Wikipedia), so it's interesting how they still have a large infrastructure for cooling the city.

I don't think I've used air conditioning in the summer before. Though my summers are usually cooler than Helsinki's, apparently.
> Name a single deflationary spiral that has happened.

None whatsoever.

> Identify how much spending you can postpone until next year.

Everything except for life's necessities.

> Reflect if a deflationary spiral is even remotely likely.

It isn't but it's an interesting thought experiment.

A world with a large deflation is probably a world in which all natural resources have been harvested and the only things that still flow freely are sunlight and rain.
That's true of some decisions, but not all. It's a divide-and-conquer strategy. In some situations, ranking would be easier than the decision itself otherwise would be. In others, the method wouldn't necessarily be easier, but it would be more accurate. For weighty decisions, accuracy trumps ease.
Sadly, the two appear to be BFFs.

I can only guess here, but availability of content must surely be one of it. In 2015, a brick and mortar store for renting physical videos still have content which online services do not, including some movies that was in the cinema over a year ago.
This. Zero (or negative inflation) today is mostly due to lower oil prices and slower increase, even decrease, in non-processed food prices (at least it's the case in parts of continental Europe). Core inflation, which excludes volatile stuff, in the UK is 0.8%. Although slowly decreasing, it's still well above 0%. Core inflation is here the number that matters.

Agreed. It's like the recent fad of people wanting to own only one outfit repeated 10 times so they don't have to "choose" what clothes to wear.

Picking clothes can be as simple as a 10 second decision on a par with deciding whether to take a pee here or wait until I get to my destination.. andI ain't wearing a diaper to take away that decision ;-)

As opposed to 80-100 years of devaluation of the money that you earn, save and spend?

A stated above 'the greatest trick the Keynesians ever pulled off was making everyone fear even the slightest deflation, while convincing them that year-in, year-out inflation as not only natural, it was a good thing.

The main benficiaries of inflation are the people who get to spend the newly minted money first - because they get to use created money to buy assets at the valuations for the existing amount of circulation. By the time the inflation works it's way down the chain, your cup of coffee has jumped 50c but you haven't had a commensurate increase in income.
I also want that, the side-by-side comparison specially. The follow up discussions are also helpful, someone mentioned about C5.0 I didn't know about. There are lot of algorithms/steps pieces that are needed when solving the machine learning puzzle. The article was very helpful.

Click bait is about the click, not the content.

Which is why I don't click in the first place. Professional writers know exactly when their title looks like cheap crap. If they use it anyway, I'm just not their audience. If the content were legit they would have better ways of wrapping it.
Which country you in? If it's in the UK, you can pretty much just apply for jobs online. That said, the clients generally want short notice periods.
The problems in the UK started a lot earlier than when property prices started climbing. Everybody started getting mortgages for their houses and flats instead of renting something. Credit and debt runs that country more than anywhere else I have seen. People get payday loans for Christ's sake.

That's not a healthy sign, and I don't think that was the fault of "them". Individuals did that.
Sadly house prices rates are way higher than my hoarding rate. I'm further away from being able to buy a house than 5 years ago.
People with the least power tend to desire assertion of control of minutia and others (probably a sizable portion of LEOs). By contrast, people with more power delegate and are fine to live with the decision of others because it doesn't matter. It's like the guy that won't pull over and ask for directions, or the small coffee shop that has a key to use a restroom (permission-based, control-freak culture, e.g., dog people) instead of an internal lock (delegation, freedom, e.g., cat people).

Wasted energy is the absence of strategic laziness.
If you don't mind being relatively poor you can go on upwork (odesk), find a few projects with some kind of spec or a particular technology they want, build 1-5 demos, and you will probably get a gig. Works for me. I am poor but I don't have to go put of the house ever if I don't want to, and there is always plenty of interesting work.

Coinado should be legal as far as I can tell - in the same way a torrent client is perfectly legal.

They may have to respond to takedown requests or similar though, but seeing as how they only know the hash it will be a lot easier for them to claim ignorance

I'm not sure what your privacy concerns are... You can track clients downloading torrents pretty easily, if anything this would help as it adds another layer of indirection

Bionic Lens means perfect vision without ever needing glasses, contacts
Huh, those I knew came in cardboard sleeves. Which are not as handy as the cases.
>My understanding is that technical Illusions tracking system is tied to the retro-reflective mat. The glasses see some LEDs on the mat and use that to determine their position and orientation. So the tracking is limited to the glasses being in view of the mat. If you turn around, you're no longer being tracked.

Yeah, although to clarify, it's not the mat per se, it's the tracking marker. (Seen here, bottom picture, as it's the same one for the wand: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/technicalillusions/cast...

There's a wand PCB and a wand on there too, they aren't part of the marker.)

The tracking marker is also covered in retro-reflective material, but it's not part of the mat itself. Relevant because there are clip-on adapters to turn the castAR goggles from AR to VR, and you don't need the mat for VR.

It may not be the final version, as the tracking system has gone through a few upgrades and tweaks already according to the updates.

Right, unless you're stashing currency into your mattress or burying gold bars in the yard, your money hasn't gone anywhere. It's in the bank, which is the lending it out to those who have a a better user for it.
Hoarding is a an invented scary word for saving. Saving is the underpinning of all investment, and investment is the key to productivity gains. Productivity gains are the key to increased living standards.

To then turn that upside down and say that saving makes things worse is only possible by using the word 'hoarding' as it conjures images of a fleeing deposed lord burying the family treasure in a field.

In reality, returning economies to health requires a stable or increasing rate of savings.

The extremely strict monetary policies of German president Hindenburg, a reaction to the hyperinflation of a few years before him, caused a deflationary recession that directly preceded the rise of Hitler.
Not wanting to be negative here, but I don't get the point of these CSS projects.

CSS isn't Turing complete. It's a (poorly designed) markup tool, not a general symbol processing language. So there's a whole world of stuff it just can't do in any useful way.

Any attempt to make it do this stuff is either going to have to fake it with limited sleight-of-mind, or is simply not going to work.

So "I made s Haskell compiler out of pure CSS" is always going to be disappointing. (If you could make real logic gates, you certainly could make a Haskell compiler. Although it's possible it wouldn't be fast enough for production code.)
You should test your theory by starting a a company that makes reproductions of famous paintings and see how fast it takes for classic works of art to become valueless.

> A van gogh isn't more expensive than my drawing because they're rarer or built with rarer materials. Intrinsic value is much more complicated and subtle than that

Actually, value is subjective. For example, if I didn't know I could sell a Van Gogh for a lot of money, it would be just as worthless to me as anything else I don't want.

In other words, a Van Gogh, just like everything else, has no "intrinsic value" that everyone would recognize.

Now if I could buy a Van Gogh for $5000 and sell it for $10000, I'd be happy to buy one. But if I could only sell it for $5500 it wouldn't be worth the trouble for me.

That's subjective value at work again. In the latter case, I'd value the time needed to buy and sell the painting higher than the $500 I could get from the exchange.

The "thank you, keep going on please" argument is a consistent one through out history, but there is a big exception in the last 10 years ago.

Imagine if you want a pay to have a band playing in your bar. If they went in there, broke every table, played music so loud that customers got injured, and then assaulted a few others, would you still feel obligated to pay for their performance? Would you still pay others upfront? A game developer can put malware on your computer, break your hardware, not have a work product, and you are still expected to pay up front for the next game.

Video (as in popcorn time) can do less damage, but then we had the sony root kit and the payment system is also upfront with not guarantee of quality or enjoyment.

One suggested model is a payment system which is "thank you, keep going on please" if you were happy with the service, and a "disputing the credit card charge" if you are not. This has however the problem of being illegal, so it just easier to jump directly to piracy and do donation purchases when/if you like something.

AFAIK, he made no such claim. He was on the Security Weekly podcast and said that he did no such thing.

It sounds to me that they trumped up some portion of his interview in the complaint, and are going out of their way to discredit this guy. My fear is that if Mr. Roberts is right, this will have a real chilling effect on other work in the area. If he's just a security troll, it still negatively impacts everyone.
So basically the software bug happened, because there are quality problems in the manufacturing street? wtf!?!?
There are not many details about why exactly the three engines stopped working and it's not yet officially announced. This article has been written with "information Spiegel Online received".

Two translated quotes: "The investigation yield a clear result: Shortly after the lift-off of the test machine, the computers send conflicting commands to the three engines which then powered off."

"Soon after the crash, experts of the German Air Force suspected a software issue with the fuel supply unit because such a fatal drop of power so soon after the start could hardly be explained differently."

So, not much information why the computers sent conflicting commands and also why the engines power down in such a situation.
Uber Tests 30% Fee, Its Highest Yet
My understanding is that a real deflation would crash the current financial system. Savers in fiat are paid interest from money created from debtors taking loans.
In a deflation, the volume of money is reduced. Debtors instead of having their debts inflated away, have their real debts increased. Triggering defaults, triggering destruction of money, triggering further deflation.
Savers don't win by having hoards of cash since their assets are the liabilities of the defaulting debtors - which are going up in puffs of smoke.

For this reason, central banks will run interest rates down to juice more inflation....oh wait...they are already at near zero...
They should probably use SSL by default, but other than that it's an amazing idea and implementation, legal issues aside.
It is a combination.

Policies from the government over the last couple of decades have combined with people's greed, and well we are where we are today.

Individuals are of course to blame too, but it is hard to pin point who got the ball rolling.

You already got the hard part done: Getting on the front page of HN. Now hurry and add more details about yourself in this thread and/or in your profile. There's a good chance someone reading this could use your help; help them get in touch with you.

>> "Why is it that in 2015, I can't go to a site, give them money, and get a high-quality mkv download"

Because it's costly and unnecessary for a business to cater to every specific need. How many people even know what an MKV file is? And if they did how many people have the bandwidth to download one?

There are so many options available to people now (theatres, DVD, Bluray, iTunes, Amazon, Netflix) that people are resorting to insanely specific demands (MKV files, availability while in theatres, all I can watch for $5 per month, the technology used to stream the content must be one I like) in order to justify their piracy.
Then you are paying way too much. There's lots of smart 2 beds in Putney for the same price - zone 2, close to the high street & shops/mall/supermarket, 5 mins walk from railway (17 mins to waterloo) or tube (20 mins to earls crt, south ken etc)
That's not really true. The big studios are distributors of the content. They traditionally sold to Cinemas, and had DVDs made, etc. The fact they missed the boat on digital distribution is completely their fault...
If you're new to the market I'd advise working for an agency for a bit first so you get to know your way around.
Agreed. I think what the government meant to say was 'we ignored the thing that is going up in price, so there is no inflation'.

Back in the early 2000s I would just sit down in a coffee shop with a small laptop (about the size of a modern Air). Every other person would ask about it, so I'd mention how it well it ran visual studio (true); the conversation often turned to work.

These days I'd probably post on the freelancer HN page and look around on Craigslist... I actually ended up as a subcontractor to NASA writing code to contribute to an Eclipse project via Craigslist last year (YMMV).
