amazing how the crypto narrative changes...

before: ETH fees needs to be cheap (remember the bitcoin fees and eth wanted fees to belower?), now: ETH fees was meant to be high!

before: we need to get away from centralized exchanges for decentralization now: we need centralized exchanges

crazy.

I just watched YongYea on youtube showing the Tech Demo on PS5 and I was in awe. Being a PS user for a long time the graphics of this is amazing. I can't wait till this kind of graphics hit the VR space. So much cool stuff is going to be happening in terms of games and how we perceived reality.

when ico?

"They do this for free" in return for something. Google/Youtube is not doing this for free. They are a corporation in it for the profit

I was just about to post this. I really love planet money. I regularly listen to their podcast as part of my regular runs and this really was a very interesting new information for me

I guess they are expecting x20 basing it on the 20B paid to Whatsapp

as if above never happens to traditional markets. FYI --2008 where the financial markets almost collapsed and has destroyed lives of millions of individuals.

definitely not a bubble

Here is where's the bubble's at http://www.marketwatch.com/story/heres-how-the-us-got-to-20-...

More important than the Internet? More important than computers? More important than electricity? That's ridiculous. reply

its given, we've passed those stage already

canvas would be a pain to have automated test. https://github.com/openfin/fin-hypergrid/issues/540

the main problem with npm is just when its used internally. It is painful really. Using it when you have internet connection is just seamless

there was a very informative episode on Planet Money with regards to setting up shell companies. A lot of info here with regards to how names are hidden etc...it is worth a listen. The hosts setup their own shell companies:

will this affect jvm languages as well?

probably on separate repos which something like npm and bower does as well.

in Java you always have this.. Impl Impl Impl.. Impl everywhere. I feel it's being passed from a senior and a junior dev who interprets the "program to an interface" idiom. Its so annoying to follow a code that is deeply nested with calls on a very basic controller call. It seems to be program to think that calls will be dynamically "replaced" and "reloaded".

So much complexity in the Java world and I don't know if its because of the language has not evolved throughout the years or the quality of developers (majority) that it has produced. Reminds me of this https://github.com/EnterpriseQualityCoding/FizzBuzzEnterpris...

We also have the same developers coding in javascript. I literally need to refactor once a 7k+ lines single ExtJS controller. Yeah Extjs is so popular in the enterprise java world.

I wonder if in the future node will enable swappable js engine edit: ok just found this https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9534138

I wonder what was the basis for Japan becoming the top economy given that they have twice as much unsustainable debt that the US plus they have a population problem.

can they be sued for doing this?

this reminds me of http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~ballard/bofh/bofhserver.pl

Just saw this awesome documentary from NASA about the New Horizons Mission https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EJxwWpaGoJs - it is definitely a good watch.

I still remember 2001 when I first arrived at Hongkong to work. My first day at the office, I got teary eyed. I told my boss why is it so..he told me it's because of the pollution and I should drink lots of water.

It is probably way lot worse now. I saw this documentary recently, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T6X2uwlQGQM it is a good watch. FYI China is also destroying marine life in the West Philippine Sea http://globalnation.inquirer.net/120699/ph-slams-china-for-d... http://www.philstar.com/headlines/2014/05/12/1322282/photos-...

that is definitely some sort of trolling.

if everything gets replaced by bots, how will the economy run given that much of it is because of employees getting paid and in turn spending that money?

I think this is now common. I did the same thing to our replacement after I was laid off. My last 2 weeks with the company was in India doing a face to face training/handover.

It would be interesting to know the computation they use to determine the monetary gain on being able to mine/scan all the information from the photos versus the cost of storing them.

does it mean that if I have 10 modules that depends on exactly the same version of another module (e.g. dependent 1.1.1).. npm will download 1.1.1 10 times? Wouldn't it just use the single package with the correct and share it across? Or the cache is main use to copy the dependent module 10 times.

I was actually shocked to find out that there are actually a few programmers that does this. I don't know what is the reason but it is tantamount to stealing.
