I've seen a few posts by people saying that the name and language on your page remind them too much of some of the current flame wars. I personally don't care, but were you all aware? Why the name shill?
There are also a lot of other non-HEMA historical european martial arts groups and less historical EuroMA. For instance you can find stick fighting most palces, Jogo Do Pau is Portuguese stick/staff fighting, Savate is…
That's just being difficult. The real world does work that way. Take poltical labels for example, liberal, conservative, et al have totally different meanings for different people. Contradictions do exist, just…
The question you should ask yourself is; "Is it right for you and your project?" It doesn't matter as far as your project if the community should be moving on as a whole or not. What matter's is if you, and/or your…
I thought a lot of that money was accounted for coming out of branches of Cypriot banks that remained open in the UK and Russia. Not saying that bitcoin isn't where some or a lot of it ended up, but the black market was…
That's assumes you are starting from no one having any to one person having them all. If someone had 1 billion in demand for bitcoins it would drive the price up, some would sell hoping to cash out, but others probably…
Same things are true for any currency, this is partly why they work. We can trust because we have common interest in the solvency of any commonly used currency. A dollar is only worth what someone will give you for it.
There eventually wont be much point to mining when the cap is reached, then there will be a point to process blocks for their transaction fees. You are also right about the hardware issue, plus there are other more…
Don't forget that bitcoin can be broken down into arbitrarily small fractions. It caps, but it can still grow by being traded in increasingly smaller values. Which I don't think we really have an economic model for. And…
> I wouldn't want the web as a platform to be that good What? Are you so ideologically caught up that you actually wish something wont get good? It is totally reasonable to to think something isn't the right…
Even as someone relatively new to development and a native of the web this seems so clear to me. The web was originally just a way of sharing documents. It is both a miracle and heresy that we have managed to do so much…
Not to mention being developed in totally different environments than your average website, application, or framework.
"comparing apples to oranges" that is kind of the whole point here. Most of the arguments in this thread are coming from two totally different perspectives. Some holding doggedly to various ideals and dogmas and instead…
All of this is just such antagonistic linkbate if you ask me. No offense to OP, but it really just seems like oh I had a controversial thought so I'll play up two sides. Maybe one isn't better than the other? Maybe they…
We could even start with some reasoned speculation instead of a blatant unqualified assertion.
If your definition of hacking is limited to technical details then you are misunderstanding the historical ethos of hacking.
I agree that multi-directional voting is worth exploring and that promoting karma points leads to more sensationalism. Possibly even some form of democratic tagging?
This would graduate HN away from the list of links model that is so prevalent. Certainly an interesting idea, but a big change as well.
That makes sense to me, but maybe this is just another place votes can be weighted, outright 'getting rid of' or banning seems excessive to me.
I think that is a point missed by this article and many others. People are going after what they think they can get funded in large part. In the comments on the post there is a nice Peter Thiel quote about innovation in…
I get both of those impressions (your's and one up). Just because someone is an egocentric narcissist doesn't mean that they aren't on to something. In fact, as they say, it takes one to know one.
I'm pretty sure that very little of it is actually in js. It's more appropriate to say that you use javascript to script the node environment/runtime.
Personally I think its great because it is just a different syntax for the same semantics.
The term is enlightened self interest. Think of it like this if it is good for my customers and they all make money then they have more money to pay me. If I get my customers, who are largely start ups and developers,…
I use htop on my macbook, that said it dual boots to #! linux. I honestly work in OSX more often than my linux environment, but installing Gentoo on an old PC when I was 15 really gave me the foundational understanding…
