Clever article. Although it's a bit ironic that it appears on that site, which seems to be dedicated to anxiety-inducing political news.

I honestly think this is a bit of a misfeature. Tmux provides the same functionality and the resulting hierarchy of responsibilities between your terminal apps seems more correct to me.

Yeah but it seems so artificial tho. What about doing things just for the sake of doing them and because they're intrinsically cool and interesting? All the nationalistic stuff is just made up and we've gotta let go of it eventu

We're really building the world we want to live in here aren't we?

Yeah, we GOT that China. Dab. But seriously though. Why does the news media seem to always feel the need to push this narrative of nations being in competition with each other? It seems so 20th century.

I have rather the opposite impression of Facebook. They seem sort of tired and are moving onto the same level as Uber in terms of ethical conduct.

It's good that they're openly acknowledging the misstep here. However, I wish that the "will not pursue" section got the same bold-faced treatment as the one above it. It seems appropriate at this point for industry lea

This was actually a great article. So much crypto centered content nowadays is garbage. Very pleasantly surprised by this. I think there are even a lot of interesting related questions that were not explored in this relatively concise post.

Honestly, I read a few sentences, began stumbling over the expletives, then decided I didn't care what the issue was or what his opinion is. Though he acts like everything that isn't done precisely as he would have done it in hin

I don't follow you. My interpretation was that OP said roughly, "I don't understand/approve of GDPR because of this and this." Child then responded by saying roughly, "but America does it too." Seems li

Technically, yes. It's an informal logical fallacy. The point is that it's a pretty ineffective means of advancing the discussion.

Exchange owners probably already have lambos.

I see what you did there.

The statement was meant to be slightly ironic.

I believe this is the actual paper that was referenced in the article: http://mbio.asm.org/content/6/2/e00137-15.full.pdf

It depends on the audience though. In this case, I think it's correct to say there's a strong chance that the reader is not interested in prose. The sad thing about the human interest style is that, if that's not what I&#x2

Careful. I somehow got flagged for stating as much last time this debate came up.

It would be like Pandora's box, no? We didn't want North Korea to get nukes either.

I don't think that's an argument. The truth is, even if the particular applications of AI to tasks like this are innocuous in this case, they're less than a stone's throw away from things that aren't. Uses like th

What's the actual risk here? I'm not seeing it.

You're leaving out aspects of that analogy. You left out the part where you incur the added cost of electricity, or your current home isn't big enough so you need to move to a new area with higher property taxes and insurance cost

Or, alternatively, schools could actually act like academic institutions and quit wasting exorbitant amounts of money on bullshit like sports and unnecessary construction projects which drive low-quality student enrollment.

I guess it does seem like NPR may have been coerced into removing the article if that's what people are thinking. I do agree that would be significant.

Serious question: why is this getting so much attention on HN?

The article is only partly related to that incident. People have been trying to figure out reasonable mechanisms for doing smart contract updates since before the Parity Multisig matter. What is discussed in the article is being used today

Remember, however, that's there's nothing about "real" money that intrinsically bestows upon its users some set of legal rights. Traditional currency users have legal rights because the legal system has had enough time
