Ah yeah you’re right. Distributed data collect.

The term you’re looking for is “Federated Machine Learning.” The more cars Tesla has, the faster they can train the neural networks edge cases.

I only have ~3500 karma so maybe I'm below the threshold. The only thing I can change is the top bar color.

My brain is programmed to automatically type `ne <enter>` into my address bar. I'm not trying to check out another website, I just want this one to not blind me when I'm trying to learn from the great community of HNers.

Can’t panic sell! Kraken also having problems.

Coinbase crashing is how I know if the bull market is really here.

LOL! Nice, yeah mine is directly related to Slack being down. A lot of text messages right now.

I have friends at many multi-billion dollar companies who are all just twiddling their thumbs right now.

How would you describe your experience being a unionized digital worker?

Hah, I saw Ozonetel Alternative - Dialpad® Official Site...

So Dialpad.

Pretty sneaky Dialpad lol

The podcast[1] does a lot better job of explaining what is going on than Twitter.

Same guy made a script that polls the Apple Website and send a notification when one of the 3 base configurations are in stock. Took about 8 days for him to get a hit.

Using the camera, the perspective is off and you don't see the persons hand behind the glass. I updated the description for you ;).

I was talking to a pretty avid Apple fan and he let me know that for the laptops, there are only 3 models that you can pick up in store.

  Base MacBook Pro
  Base Macbook Air
  MacBook Air +16GB +1TB

If you're not looking at those 3 in terms of laptops, you're going in a queue.

It's a breakdown of the ownership of the company

  Op - 40%
  Co-Founder - 40%
  Option Pool - 10%
  Angel Investor - 10%

- The option pool for new hires means that if you're one of the first employees, your equity will come from that option pool. You may get 1% as an early engineer or 3% as an early executive for example.

- The investor owning 10% of the company means that they think the company is worth $1,000,000 right now. ($100,000 x 10)

- The 4yr vesting with 1 year cliff means the Op gets 1/48th ownership of the company every month over the course of 4 years. BUT BUT BUT they only get the first 1/4 (12/48th) until they have been at the company for at least 1 year. If the Op leave before 1 year, they get nothing.

They don't have 40%, they have 0% and will get to 10% in 1 month. Then have to accrue 1% for the next 36 months after that.

Wasting 3 years is not worth the time. The Op should eject and focus on building something else or the same thing with a new co-founder.

I downloaded it, installed it, searched for "SwiftUI button". The correct answer was the 3rd result. The first two results weren't even relevant at all.

I love the concept but this is going to need to be a lot more accurate on basic searches for me to trust it with anything more robust.

Is there something Angular can do to help improve the performance before creating the page?

You're not wrong :-D

  Maybe because it's not a need most people have?

Most may the the right word. This is really about a lot of small wins over the current system, not really one right answer that solves everything.

  This still means nothing to me. I can't relate to this.

This is fair, I don't know you personally so I don't know what lifestyle you're living.

  So it's about not wanting to pay transaction fees for buying stock. Hmm, doesn't really sell it to me, quite frankly

It's not really about that, it's more about zero counter party risk. This exists in lots of areas, but without knowing you, it's hard for me to come up with a concrete example of why this matters to you.

I'm not a Bitcoin advocate, I just recognize the value the invention provided and I recognize that this whole cryptocurrency space relies on it being successful for long enough for anything else usurp it. If Bitcoin got hacked right now, everything crashes with it.

Compared to Bitcoin, there are consensus mechanisms that are a lot faster (3 orders of magnitude), cheaper (almost free transaction cost), near instant finality (seconds, not 1 hour) and leave almost zero carbon footprint. They just haven't been proven out at scale yet.

The fees are a business decision, not a technical requirement.

  How can I be sure what you're selling me is in fact what you say it is? And if it's not, what recourse do I have?

A fundamental design in cryptocurrencies is that it's mathematically impossible to create "fake" tokens without some sort of quantum computer. What this means is that the DEcentralized Exchange (DEX) that you're performing the trade on will have liquidity for the pair of assets and as you click the right button to select TSLA for USD, you're getting TSLA. There is no mathematical way to get scammed.

For your example of FB marketplace/Craigslist, you want an Escrow service with a way to have you or a 3rd party validate you're not getting ripped off. That type of service exists via cryptographic primitives in both Bitcoin and Ethereum allowing a transaction to be blocked if there is something fraudulent.

  I can do all these things already.

You're absolutely right, but just like you can send a letter in the mail, email does the same thing but is digitally native to the internet.

Up until the invention of Bitcoin, there was ZERO scalable way for me @joeblau to send you @louwrentius money the way I send an email. By that, I mean the only thing I need to rely on is a protocol (like SMTP) and you'll receive it.

  What problem / which problems are being solved here?

The problem is that money (paper money/currency) is not the only thing that has value which human beings transfer among each other. We share music, art, poetry, equity in companies, ideas, code, etc. What Ethereum does is take the idea of "Digital trustless money transfer" and expands it to "Digital trustless value transfer"

  I don't understand what this means. What does this do for real-life applications?

Let's say I own TSLA stock and I want to sell it to you. I can't, without going through a middle-person. I need to send my shares to a brokerage (they take cuts and fees and do insider trading crap that they disguise as legal) then you buy the shares from then.

If it's mine, why can't I just transfer the shares straight to you for the listed price (Currently $567.60)? Because there is no platform digital trustless value transfer that will ensure that we both get what we want: Me getting the money, and you getting the shares.

I wonder if this is the source for any “leaks” from tech companies who use Zoom as their office communication tool?

This is one I’ve heard a lot on the Data Skeptic podcast. Great for math and science.

I don't understand what's going on here. Can you explain?

I love this, but I would fall asleep in this thing in 2 seconds.

Not iOS apps, but windows applications[1].

30 hours not including 8 hours of sleep, 1 hour bike ride, shower, eating and all of that fun stuff.

I’m testing a bunch of SwiftUI2 features right now so it’s constrained to iOS 14 for them. If you’re on the beta, you’ll get it when iOS 14 is released.
