I agree that the sport is rife with complacency however:

it's totally 'not cool' for experienced jumpers to ask for a gear check

is not completely accurate. The reason why inside the plane gear checks are not done often anymore except on students is mostly because of the changes in skydiving gear. Typically the only inside the plane things you can't check yourself and need to ask for someone else are the main and reserve parachute pins. These pins keep the container locked, and it's very important that they are not dislodged since they prevent premature parachute openings which can be disastrous. Older rigs had exposed pilot chute bridles, huge pin flaps, and larger canopies/dbags that all made it easier for the pin to wiggle. So it was standard procedure to check the pins 3 times: after packing, before putting on and inside the plane. However jumpers downsize canopies soon as they gain the necessary experience these days, and the modern skydiving container comes free-fly ready with no bridle exposed, pilot chute handle tucked tight, all of which make it harder for the pin to dislodge. This makes most experienced jumpers comfortable checking the pins only in the first 2 steps, packing and before putting the rig on. The risk associated with having someone else mess with the flaps and the pins inside the plane is deemed greater than the risk of pins dislodging between the time they put on the rig and opening the parachute.

Students however do not have the experience to evaluate a properly positioned pin, so having an inside the plane pin/gear check is required.

Both fiat backed assets as well as collateralized assets pegged to fiat money are called stablecoins, because they are meant to represent units of fiat money, and therefore "stable" relative to fiat. Fiat backed stablecoins fit the definition of an IOU better, since they are cryptographic promises to pay the bearer by centralized issuing entities. Whereas collateralized stablecoins are not IOUs, they are effectively loans on other cryptoassets you deposit in a smart contract (ether, in Maker/Dai's case).

The main problem with fiat backed stablecoins is that in addition to smart contract/theoretical security, you now have to also trust the procedural security of the entity issuing the asset. A collateralized stablecoin like Maker/Dai doesn't have that additional attack vector.

For example, if the keys issuing the USDC has ever been compromised, new assets can be issued instantly by an attacker, compromising fungibility and causing other problems. Whereas if Maker/Dai smart contract proves secure over time, there's no centralized issuing entity/keys to compromise. Afaik the only centralized privilege controlled by MakerDAO is the global settlement, which merely refunds everyone their ether.

Chainsage | Istanbul, Turkey | Full-Time | ONSITE or REMOTE | https://chainsage.com

Software Engineer - https://angel.co/chainsage/jobs/376773-software-engineer Looking for team members in Istanbul to help build the future of payments.

Our stack includes Bootstrap, Sass, ReactJS, Django, PostgreSQL, Redis and runs on Linux, Docker, Kubernetes and Google Cloud.

Director of Ops - https://angel.co/chainsage/jobs/376777-director-of-ops Looking for a self-motivated, detail-oriented operations generalist to join the team. This role will combine elements of content curation/editing, community/social media management, marketing, administration, and operations.

We don't care about your gender, race, color, religion, sexual orientation, age or marital status. We are looking forward to meet you!

Lyft (www.lyft.com/jobs) -- San Francisco, CA Growing and hiring really, really fast. My team is hiring a Front-end Engineer/Web Developer, feel free to reach out to me at mehmet AT <companyname> dotcom.

Excellent post overall, very helpful.

> However, if I exchange my apartment for your car, then it's not a like-kind exchange, because the items exchanged are not of like kind (makes sense?), and both parties pay capital gains (or can claim a loss) vs. the fair market value of the exchange.

You probably can't claim a capital loss for a car as you can only claim it for things you hold for investment purposes. Since the car's depreciation is expected to be because of personal use you can't claim loss on it whereas if it were to increase for some reason (memorabilia) you'd have to pay gains.

var jq = document.createElement('script'); jq.src = "http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.min.js; jq.onload = function () {console.log($(".entry-content a[href*='http://www.bakadesuyo.com]).length);}; document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(jq);

Am I the only one who's turned off by this number? I understand that's what you're supposed to do and doing this is a nice way to get a bump on your traffic but being bombarded by the links just gives me the feeling that the entire content is there to do just that, rather than conveying any useful information.

Thanks! It's built using the mapping library Leaflet, JS/CoffeeScript on the front end and Python/Django/Celery for the backend, which runs on Amazon EC2/S3. Took me probably a few man-months to build and refine it, still needs lots more work though.

I fully understand the sentiment behind this comment since it resonates with how I feel about HN for the most part. However, there's undeniable value in this particular style of a community:

Don't say "thank you" for a useful post because it takes up too much time and space? How utterly ridiculous.

As far as I can see, if you have a point or articulation in your "thank you" comment, it's not really frowned upon. But if all you can contribute to the conversation are those two words, isn't that what upvoting is for? I really like that HN threads are much easier/faster to navigate (compared to reddit for example) merely because of the lower number of comments, which stems from the pressure to provide more substance behind them.

I spend over an hour a day on this site, yet have so few comments or submissions; because it costs so much time and effort to put anything in front of a pedantic, productivity/efficiency obsessed audience ready to shred anything to bits and pieces that is less than a throughly fact-checked, carefully constructed argument. I think that's what makes HN worth reading.

For example, I'm about to post about a project I've been working on for a while. I'm sure it'll feel good to hear if people have good things to say about it but the most valuable feedback I'll receive will be from the people who overanalyze things and are highly critical.

"And getting people to program in individually alternative dns servers or do anything "technical" in nature won't create enough critical mass"

That has happened before. When YouTube got blocked for some stupid reason in Turkey for months, millions of people used alternative dns servers to bypass the block. It's easy enough to automate, which means it's simply a matter of demand.
