Honeywell reported their violation to the government. It is in the governments best interest to not overly punish them as it could lead to companies being incentivized to hide violations instead of reporting them as soon as they become aware of them. Although I do think $13 million is a bit low even when accounting for this.
I love using discord for my open-source projects as I feel that the individual role and channel permissions are a little more powerful. I wish Slack adopted this full customization permission ability into their software.
I think the biggest thing is the context switching between different projects. I have open source projects that I wouldn't be able to move to GitLab as I would have to coordinate the move with all the other collaborators and make sure the users of the repository are aware that the new code will be in GitLab.
It wouldn't be the best user experience if you had to wait 10 minutes for confirmation. Also by increasing the size of the blocks you increase the orphan rate due to propagation delay which results in needing more confirmations before a transaction is considered truly immutable. Bitcoin has to have a fee market to incentivize miners so that as block rewards decrease the cost of securing the network doesn't shrink as well.
You don't have to wait 10 minutes for a confirmation, especially not if we're talking about dollar amounts. Credit card transactions work exactly the same as 0-conf, and we seem to accept them just fine.

Which happens at around 20 MB. Improvements like Graphene, Xthinner and blocktorrent will drastically reduce the orphan rate allowing for much bigger blocks to be propagated fast enough for the orphan rates to not climb in a relevant fashion.

Or Bitcoin needs many more lower fee transactions to compensate. In a couple of decades.
Bitcoin is never going to solve anyone's problems now. The people who have taken it over have relegated it to a lesson in what not to do. Shorter block times are not a problem and neither are much larger block sizes, both of these things have been proven by other currencies.
I'm surprised that the quality of HN hasn't fallen as drastically with user growth as much as other sites such as reddit. Thanks to the moderators for keeping HN great.
This is really cool, it is really hard to evaluate the value of Zencoda without the code output of the demo. I get that the full product is not ready but being able to see the input and one good output would tell us a lot.
Both the side boosters on the F9H inaugural flight will be reused boosters. The center boosters are only able to fly on F9H but are planned to be reusable.
