That implies the social value of the transactions outweighs the cost of carrying them on the blockchain. If the bulk of transactions are penny-valued "scratch card" gambles (are they still a thing?), that is obviously not true.

No, there really are people out there like that. If you haven't run into one before, you should perhaps consider yourself fortunate, but then again that perhaps limits your view of how evil people can be, especially at the "gut" level, the level that's best at motivating actions or at least preparations.
Scala in Vim is quite workable - I will try the quickfix plug-in that I didn't knew about.

Something that I find useful is proper ctags extraction for Scala, so here it is: https://github.com/luben/sctags

I hope it may be useful for other people developing in Scala in Vim.

When I compare databases, I also search out the performance comparisons created or sponsored by my preferred database provider, then I know that I can trust the results to be complete and unbiased./sarcasm

Seriously, why is this one of the top stories on HN? These types of tests are so easy to tweak in favor of a perferred database that they are completely unreliable. Even neutral comparisons by third parties are rife with errors like not adding proper indices to all the DBs or using query formulations that avoid the indices on some DBs or other configuration issues (DBs are unfortunately tricky.)

I think the only way to do this objectively is to have a test and then give each DB vendor an opportunity to tweak the DB and queries to optimize performance. Seeing how DB vendors optimized performance would actually be very informative to potential users. Everything else is just a comedy of errors (or worse) as normally people usually only have good expertise in one of the DBs in question, if that.

Doesn't it seem like they should have allowed the various businesses to accept it, but then not allow them to convert the money out of Bristol Pounds? As their BP balances grow, they would be forced to figure out how to integrate more tightly into the local economy, no?

Turning these big companies down seems counter-productive to the goal of keeping the money circulating locally.

This still doesn't explain why Yarvin being present at a conference, giving a non-political talk on technology (presumably with no so-called "hate speech" content), represents a threat to anything or anyone at said conference.

The answer is: it doesn't. He was removed because some politically influential leftists wanted him declared a non-person.

AFAIK they are: the test is open source, the raw results are there, and contributions welcomed. Hopefully the OrientDB team will step up and show how theirs can perform.
Absolutely! Its economics all along.

Anyone who advocates pure monoglot or always using the best tool is not being pragmatic. Decisions should be driven by cost/benefit and not religion.

It's tough to overemphasize just how good Faker is/was. When he first appeared on the scene there had been other players before that had been considered to revolutionize their role. People like Diamondprox (for jungle) and Reapered (for top). But Faker was just something else completely.

I get a kick out of giving Northern Ireland notes to businesses over in England and watching them squirm about. You can see serious confusion as they look back and forth between the words "Pounds Sterling" and "Ireland". There's a look of "If i get a manager I'm going to look stupid, but if I don't, I might be in trouble for taking fake money". There is a large number of people in London that aren't quit convinced that Northern Ireland is part of the UK.

"I'm all for non-intrusive advertisements."

Is that really true though? Do you want "news" articles to be written by advertisers? Instead of journalism, you have an ad that blurs the line between reporting facts and advertising content. As John Oliver pointed out (and I'm sure others), even the New York Times has done some of these types of articles[1]. Is that the future you want? If an article on juice being sold in schools is really written by Snapple, but you can't tell, do you trust the advertiser to write an article with relevant facts?

Good luck with that. The users exiting reddit are precisely the kind of users you don't want on your website. The young, trolls, immature and racist/bigots. They're essentially filling their community up with 4channers. That site is already filled with reddit's /r/conspiracy users. They run many of the most popular subreddits.

That place is doomed to fail. And as far as I know, they've already begun banning users and blacklisting domains. So much for "free speech".

I play Dota 2 every once in a while. Fun game. I never played League of Legends (LoL), which seems to be more popular, just because I've read that they look very much alike, and I can't really afford, time-wise, to learn another game at all.

Interesting to see if someone plays both and has any comment on how they differ.

It did, OP just chose to highlight what best suits his/her viewpoint.

Example : Safari on iOS and OSX defaults to Google for the search engine and Apple collects billions of dollars from Google to make it easy for you to sell your data to Google - the very thing Cook is trying to sell you as evil! Same goes for FB, Twitter and Bing.

Also Apple collects a great deal of data just like others and it is not provably different than others unless you insert irrational faith into the equation.
Well you can't really. If you want to write frontend apps, for example, you have to use JS. You could technically use some FPLang-to-JS compiler, but those suck more often than not.

Also, I don't see how "let's not make a thing better just because it was not meant to work this way" is an argument.

I'm sure there is a fallacy name for this, but consider some other examples: "You could always use fridges for cooling and let cars be" or "You could always use computers for browsing the internet and leave phones be".

He said "disappear with no explanation". Most of the time, bots will comment on why a post was removed. Not only that, the rules are indicative of why your post was removed. It serves as an explanation. Here on HN, you get nothing. Not even a list of rules which need to be followed.
Did you actually read the report? There are similarities that are way more consistent than just "looking similar". I tend to agree that attribution is usually a hard guess, but in this case, it's pretty hard to argue against them. Keep in mind that most of those similarities are totally not on the exploit parts, but on the very little quirks on how to handle the 'trivial' things that are extremely specific to your coder. (Also keep in mind that developing such a framework takes tons of time & money, we're talking about years & millions).
It doesn't speed up foundations, but being able to work on the prefab modules while another team is working on the foundations certainly speeds things up.

You can expand the above a bit by distinguishing between "c", "I, Steven Klabnik, am 'a communist' as the simplest thing to describe me", vs. "C", "I, Julius Rosenberg, became a member of the US Communist Party when it was popular, required careful vetting and submission to party discipline, which by definition made me a traitor."

> No you wouldn't. A search engine is difficult to build, expensive to build, and hard to do right.

DuckDuckGo appear to do pretty well for themselves, running on $3m of funding and with a team of 21 people. I'm guessing Apple invests more in their products' packaging design than that. If their users' privacy were a concern to them, searching in Safari would use Apple's (privacy-conscious) search engine, and (until Apple perfected their search index) pipe in results from Bing/Google/whomever, just as DDG does.

As a brazilian citizen, I can clarify the hidden reality in this article.

Gremio (Blue Team) and Internacional (Red Team) are teams from the most rich and evolved region of Brazil. The people of the south descend from germans and italians. They love those soccer teams and the culture is grow up with their "rivals"... brothers, cousins, etc, cheering for different teams. It was possible due to cultural reasons, not due to an "experiment".

In Sao Paulo, Southeast region, the culture is not like that, and the favelas and poor neighborhoods have their own criminal factions associated with "organised fan clubs".

Its incentivized, the fans from different teams can't mix up in any place, metros, streets, stadiums... We see deaths everyday, people pushing rivals from metro's windows (causing their deaths)

You can't put people of Palmeiras, Sao Paulo, Corinthias (the worst case) together.

I've seen on most resumes if someone knows a language their experience with that language is also denoted.

There is plenty of work being done on approximation algorithms, for good reason. If you're dealing with scientific data that's subject to measurement noise, it's valuable to research whether that 0.1% difference actually matters or not. That said, this is great work, it's just not a closed case.

It actually makes sense if you assume two axioms:

1. Politicians are rational actors with regards to getting into and staying in office.
2. Voters are thoroughly ignorant and what sounds good to voters is not the same as what is actually the best policy.

#1 makes a whole lot of sense because people who don't compete to their fullest extent will be out-competed by people who do, and the goal of getting into political office is a necessary part of fixing the government (which most politicians genuinely want to do).

#2 makes sense when you look at people in the middle ages, and understand that we haven't fundamentally changed from them, we just have ACCESS to more information, which most people haven't read. Loads of people don't know jack shit about economics 101, and yet they have strong opinions on how to fix the economy.

*

We can extend, from these two axioms, that most politicians will not have TOO much respect for public opinion, and will therefore try to sneak through some bills that are unpopular, but (in the politician's opinion) will do a better job of actually fixing whatever they're trying to fix. That suggests that if you have enough politicians on-board with your way of "improving" the world, you can fix it in spite of the idiot public.

Banning plastics over a certain volume is roughly equivalent to banning objects over that volume. I really don't want a policy adopted simply because it is consistent with pre-existing asinine policies.
What makes you think that EMET can't be bypassed?
One of the things that's unique about MOBAs compared to first person shooters is that killing opponents doesn't necessarily translate into winning the game. It's a little more more complicated than this, but for the sake of simplification, the victory conditions in MOBAs are more like capture the flag. The goal of the game is to destroy the enemy's nexus, in the center of their base. Killing enemies makes it easier to take objectives and eventually the nexus, but strategic gameplay can also do the same thing.

One of the primary differences between high level players and beginners are decisions on when to fight. Beginners love to try to get kills, so they run around the map chasing enemies. This can get them short-term enjoyment, but is usually a poor strategic decision. Experienced players will concentrate more on acquiring resources and taking objectives, only fighting when it's strategic to do so. Since beginners are fighting all the time (and are less skilled), they'll end up having less resources and objectives than experienced players as the game progresses, snowballing the experienced players to victory.

While there's an element of mechanical skill involved in the fighting highlight reels (like the one you posted), there's an equal element of skill involved in getting a resource lead on your opponents so that your character is more powerful than theirs. Once you have that lead, fighting and securing victory is much easier. Conversely, if your character is weaker than your opponent's, it's usually a good idea to avoid fighting them until you can secure resources or objectives to even the odds.

Wouldn't believe anything he told this Vice reporter. Karpeles once famously slammed Prolexic and Black Lotus for weeks claiming they were 'a scam' then somebody noticed he had failed to do even basic firewalling and ports were still wide open allowing attackers to easily bypass the DOS mitigation service. He's only one notch above in competency from the exchange that nuked their wallet when they shut down an AWS VM accidentally. That ol chestnut about the malleability vuln is not supported by their own logs they released it's more likely they were cleaned out months before and ran a scheme to inflate Bitcoin and recoup the losses until even that scheme imploded.

Fat arrow functions have lexical this: this inside the function is bound to what it was outside. Thin arrow functions have a dynamic this, determined by how they are called. Because the library relies on dynamic this as the place where the data is sent, fat arrow syntax isn't useful with it.

The upside is that it works. For me it's a relief to use a FP compare to OO, some would prefer a logic (prolog) approach, or else - and again, we can, right now and it's no harder than using grunt, bower or any of the other tool that have appeared recently.
