This is a big assumption

This is the most reasonable thing I’ve read in this thread. Totally makes sense.

This may be dated info, but IEX (exchange) purposely ran longer than necessary fiber to slow down the speed of automated trading.

I made a half-joking comment on that thread that "'Bout time NPM goes blockchain." Either someone deleted it, or GitHub lost it among all the traffic to that issue.

Wonder if npm, Inc. would view a decentralized registry as a threat to their business model?

I thought this too, my guess is the authors felt going all the way would just seem too radical from the current status quo.

The sensible thing to do would be to bring the supply of drugs out into the open and remove it from the black market.

Most of the issues from drugs like crime, violence and overdose deaths comes from the fact that it's a black market that cannot be regulated with standards or restricted to minors. If we regulated it similar to alcohol or tobacco (or stricter even), we wouldn't have so many problems.

The destabilization is not just in Mexico, look at the gangs of most large cities in the U.S. It's not just the gang violence either that is a problem. As long as you have the supply in a black market, you're unable to regulate the supply for safety, purity, and restrict access to minors.

Adult drug users are not able to obtain their drug of choice safely at a reasonable cost. This creates low-level street crime like car break-ins and dead bodies on the street due to impure drugs laced with other drugs like fentanyl and carfentanil.

It's much more difficult for minors to buy alcohol than illegal drugs. The reason is because the alcohol market is regulated (probably too much, but besides the point) and laws restricting access to minors is heavily enforced.

Could you elaborate on what you mean by "break primary keys"?

I think you meant “hire slow, fire fast.” Never heard fast for both.

I think the author meant he lacked a direct affiliate relationship with the mattress websites. So instead of linking to the mattress websites, he linked to Amazon.

Yes let's blame the floods on lack of zoning regulations. Not a hurricane. Houston is too affordable, needs to be gentrified and regulated so no one can afford to live there like San Francisco.

Herman Miller - worth ever penny of the $10,000 USD I spent (SV). Also, Dat Embody Chair: http://store.hermanmiller.com/Products/Embody-Chair (I paid $500 USD) worth it.

This is why you don't wait to go public.

There isn't anything majorly interesting here for "tech". Some interesting new features for existing consumer products and a new consumer product. Nothing special.

Now, something that would be more HN-appropriate would be a nice analytical breakdown of Apple's on-device ML strategy vs what everyone else is doing in the Cloud.

Yup, this combined with the fact the CISO seems to be a business person instead of an actual security expert has me screaming anything but OneLogin.

I get the impression this company behaves like a typical mobile app instead of having the strong security practices you would expect from a company like this.

Yeah, in official communications, of course. I haven't been following the story that closely, but I wonder if things are actually adversarial and turning into a blame game behind the scenes at Uber, or whether they are just executing on a united defense strategy.

I didn't look very deep beyond the main graphic at the top, basically did a quick 5 second test on it. Personally, even though I'm a typical person who avoids phone calls most of the time, I can't imagine texting some stranger for career advice. Some sort of network tool to match with a mentor for a long-term relationship sounds like something I might become interested in once in the shit storm as a founder. Ideally, the match would lead to phone and/or in-person conversations and advice.

As much as I hate ads, it's just not true that they don't offer any value. They often can and do inform consumers and businesses of products that will be of value to them. They often though advertise things that are also of the opposite (negative value) and play on human weaknesses.

What's in Southern California?

You're right it's not being siphoned off into some void, it's being redistributed from some groups of people to other groups. If healthcare was delivered efficiently so that it was affordable and kept people healthy then that would be ok.

There are so many inefficiencies with monopolistic practices such as inability to import drugs from outside US, healthcare networks, and on and on.

An interesting analogy to think of is eating fruit naturally is like chewing coca leaves. Drinking fruit juice would be like snorting cocaine.

Or by doing and reading others code.

I don't think this is true. This may have happened in the past, but I don't think they do this, at least currently.

There is a nice diagram here showing how requests/responses are able to be sent in parallel (not time-based multiplexing): https://developers.google.com/web/fundamentals/performance/h...

And see Nginx's `http2_max_concurrent_streams` option: https://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_v2_module.html#http2...

Number of HTTP requests is not a concern with HTTP2 server push and multiplexing. In fact it's usually better to have 2 fairly sized files that can be downloaded in parallel rather than 1 large file.

This is possible, at least in some contexts. I'm no expert, but the bitcoin wallet, Trezor, has implemented this - known as "plausible deniability".

The idea is if you are compelled somehow by force to unlock your bitcoin wallet, you can use a secondary password that assumingly has less bitcoin than your regular bitcoin wallet.

Wait hospital admissions? Really, why?

"GOP Better Way Agenda Plan includes startup stock options tax reform"

EDIT: This isn't legislation yet, just an idea or "agenda" or "plan", so this would be a more accurate title.
