According to Pew Research: "National data doesn’t identify how many children are removed from their homes because of a parent’s substance abuse. And there’s no one standard for how states report substance abuse and child neglect."

It was never intended to solve that. As described by the bitcoin paper, it solves the problem of decentralized cryptocurrency which is minting and preventing double-spending without a central authority.

That's great. In my experience, most TDD has looked like "We're going to need a function or class to do this, so let's write a test that calls all those methods first." Which is absolutely ridiculous when we could j

TDD: For people who've never used a decent type system. Writing a Solidity test to add two integers today really drove home the point.

You can't get $10k to start a hot dog stand but you can get billions of dollars with literally no plan for profit if you're already rich or seeking VC. But want to start a normal business? No capital for you! And your taxes will p

Why is this allowed on HN? It's not tech, startups or anything in between. Is there a website like HN that's actually focused/moderated and doesn't mix Cosmo type clickbait with actual news?

No initial ICO. Only way NMR is earned is competing.

Numerai doesn't have the model, just predictions. The users don't have the real data to be able to trade their own predictions.

Because they can't mint and award it to users. NMR is only earned by performing well.

Threads are a bad idea for the same reason manual handling of memory space is a bad idea. Languages should provide primitives that only allow for safe construction of expressions that are run concurrently by the runtime.

In the short term, not much because there is a lot of inertia behind organizational programming knowledge, and the target runtime influences language choice (why JavaScript has become popular). In the long term, I think expressive type syst

I signed up for the mailing list a year ago, and I don't think they've ever offered me access to their alpha. They've been around for 2+ years and don't seem to have a product that's accessible yet. EDIT: looks like

But the stock price could have fallen. She should be credited with negotiating the deal and selling the company for 4.5B, and when she resigns the market cap isn't going to drop. She's not responsible for the market cap at all.

How is it naive, exactly? If Marissa Meyer orders everyone to work from home, then that can be attributed to her. She can take credit for that. It was her action. But if the stock price goes up $5 today, there's no way to show it was a

Market cap not something attributable to the CEO, anymore than it's attributable to the Janitor. Nowhere in that equation is the CEO actions. They don't determine share price or number of shares. Share price isn't correlated

Why is the CEO credited with market capitalization? They don't have anything to do with it.

Both. That's what the CEO and others get. Take a fat salary and options.

VCs don't like ICOs because they expose how irrational raising money is. They hamper the whole narrative of VCs being "experts" when the truth is it's all a casino financed by the Fed. VCs are used to controlling the nar

Elephant in the room is that the vast majority of real-world privilege escalation and RCE is through buffer over-reads. Type errors are costing billions in damage. Hacks like WannaCry don't exist because of the NSA, or consumers failin

Granting number of shares instead of percentages gaurantees that employees will get screwed by dilution. Vesting shares over 4 years means most employees won't get much, since employees often last only one or two years. Options mean mo
