etaty··on Ethereum Adoption of Zk-SNARK Technology
While interesting, privacy is not a switch you use when you really need it. It has to be always on, to protect everyone.
etaty··on How does FreedomPop make money?
FreedomPop is operating on a scamming shady level by not being honest about what they are selling.

They don't give you a real phone number, just some app you need to use to call.

Avoid them.

Edit: Is it how hacker news community is? downvoting because I tell the truth how their service is? I had the experience of getting charged for months without warning. They use your credit card, instead of direct debit in the UK so even more annoying for cancelling. And no requiring customer to read every details of your contract is not fair. Fair is an important part of any contract, finding you are getting a VoIP number is not normal.

etaty··on Google's stance on neo-Nazis 'dangerous', says EFF
First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—

Because I was not a Socialist.

Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—

Because I was not a Trade Unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—

Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

etaty··on North Korea now making missile-ready nuclear weapons, U.S. analysts say
Well, with so much effort to isolate North Korea and bring them on the path of war with repeated threat, I would not expect less from them. And knowing the past history of the USA in deescalating conflict, I would expect war at some point.
etaty··on I mean, why not tell everyone our password hashes?
If I remember, SSH server don't share the public key it accepts. Your SSH agent will try all your key one by one (you can change this behaviour with custom config)
etaty··on API Design Guide
I am curious if anyone went to GraphQL without regrets?
etaty··on Java libraries you can't miss in 2017

etaty··on Scala vs Go
The scala example is plain wrong.

import play.api.mvc.RequestHeader

def getUserId()(implicit request: RequestHeader) = { request.cookies.get("uid").map(_.value.toLong).filter(_ > 0) }

Return type is missing, it will throw exception (toLong).

etaty··on Amazon soars to more than 341K employees, adding 110K people in a single year
Great another too big to fail!?
etaty··on Online migrations at scale
> Once the migration is complete, run the Scalding job once again to make sure there are no existing subscriptions missing from the Subscriptions collection.

That sounds scary! how many time do you need the "once again"?

etaty··on Java Without If
Really Hacker news?!

We should use exception all the time. We should adopt exceptional programming.

null is the type to return, just in case we haven't thrown an exception yet.

Everyone know the exception API, how to throw them, how to catch them, we have to use it all the time. It's great.

We definitely don't need a strong type system, we need an exceptional programming language, everything is an exception.

etaty··on A practical introduction to functional programming (2013)
If your function for the same input give you a different output, then you are in dysfunctional world. Hence don't put random() in the middle of your supposed pure function.

  Remove state

  This is a functional version of the car race code:

  from random import random

  def move_cars(car_positions):
    return map(lambda x: x + 1 if random() > 0.3 else x,
               car_positions)
etaty··on Is Nuclear Power Vital to Hitting CO2 Emissions Targets?
Let's think like internet. Nuclear is the mainframe. Big, powerful, ... but when it goes down everything goes with it. (centralized) Solar/Wind are small unit of production, they don't do much individually, cheap and in a network they improve their reliability. (decentralized)
etaty··on Soylent Coffee: Nootropics, fat, carbs, protein
I am using Joylent for 4 months now, for breakfast and sometimes dinner. I had no problem so far.

There are other competitor like Queal or Huel

etaty··on Nestlé Wants to Sell You Both Sugary Snacks and Diabetes Pills
I think it's time to go either buy simple fresh product or go buy soylent joylent Huel and others. The food industries is only making us fat!
etaty··on The $2 Trillion Project to Get Saudi Arabia’s Economy Off Oil
This article has be to read next to the articles about SA and 9/11, and Obama veto. This is pure bullshit. SA have the same system of the Catholic Church and the European kingdoms during middle age, they protect each other.
etaty··on Bitcoin transaction processing takes up to 10 hours
Segwit will increase capacity to 2MB, if and only if all the creator of transactions (wallet, exchange, ...) switch to the new way of encoding. So it is going to take even more time than classic.
etaty··on Mobile phones are 'cooking' men's sperm
Your microwave work at around 800W, not your phone (2W for the worst)
etaty··on The Second Amendment: Original Intent
Nuclear warhead is self defence also. Proof: countries use it.
etaty··on Replacing Redis with BoltDB – A Pure Go Key/Value Store
As the writer of Rediscala, I can tell that a good redis client library should not be the bottleneck of your app!

The redis go client had probably some design issue.

etaty··on The New Atomic Age We Need
I like how Thiel writes his sentences about safety, to avoid saying anything wrong. I invite him to spend the rest of his life in Chernobyl or Fukushima.

Personally nuclear energy is dangerous because when it goes wrong the result is really bad.

And the source of error is infinite, human, software, design, terrorists, war, civil plane, drone ...

etaty··on China Cracks $64B ‘Underground Bank’ Moving Money Abroad
Well that "industry" could start to use cryptocurrencies.
etaty··on Why Russia’s Alternate History of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 Matters
There is propaganda in every countries, just look at who own the media... My opinion, is some extreme right groups did Maidan massacre ( http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-31359021 ), and they were ready to do more. See how IS developed in Syria. Same story. Libya same story. Also look at Egypt... Some countries are pushing other countries politics...

Now, what can we do?

etaty··on Guy trading at home caused the flash crash of 2010
This is a joke, they found the poor guy who was not big enough to have friends at the cftc. There is nothing wrong with flash crash and rally, that is just volatility, you just use the right leverage.
etaty··on Show HN: I'm a 14 year-old dev who has programmed an artificial intelligence bot
Good Job! But you should remove "I'm a 14 year-old dev", because I am sure you want to be judged on the "bot" not yourself.

Your gender or your age should not have impact on what you do!

etaty··on Workers in Silicon Valley Weigh in on Obama’s Immigration Order
Why not just apply basic of economy to visa ?

I mean every day you match X visas to the highest salaries!

So salaries doesn't go down, and people can apply all year.
