The aforementioned companies make more than web browsers. They make entire operating systems. If an OS changes how it interfaces with DNS, it will affect every service that runs on the OS.

To be honest I don't see this happening any time soon with the major commercial OSes. But in Linux you can install some programs to e.g. send all your DNS queries through a certain encrypted tunnel, and nearly every application installed on that box will happily use that tunnel.
By US residents I mean people who live in the US culture. I would guess, but like you I have no insights into it, given the topics we discuss here and the ancestry of the site, that most of the people here are either Americans or spend most of their time in America. In other words, people on this site are likely pretty comfortable with the Imperial system.
You only need root to open the port. Once you do that you can drop privileges.
I'm in the same boat. I absolutely love that React + Flux is "just javascript", essentially. It's as simple as it gets.
Having it on-demand means they are possibly flying under FAA part 135 regs (charter/commuter) instead of 119 (scheduled carrier) so the expense might be a little lighter there.

That said, someone's got to pay the mortgage on a $2.6 million ship, plus fuel and maint and salaries etc etc.
hmm. Do some computers have accelerometers? Maybe you could do something like if you are at a coffee shop or somewhere in public when your computer is picked up before you have that turned off it does the necessary security precautions. Not sure what/if any computers have one though, but you could probably build something via arduino or something.
Since you brought up Elon Musk, the "seed" funding for SpaceX was $100M of his own money. A different industry for sure, but I think it proves that "seed" funding can't really be defined by the amount but the intent.

>Now what? What does that have to do with Barrett Brown?

Governments are seen as evil when they are seen as the large bullying the small.

This is an example of that pattern.
It actually does, the problem is that the same restrictions do not apply.

A very large amount of private aircraft related accidents happen because of extreme conditions in which a commercial airliner would have not been flying under in any case.
Privately owned aircraft also tend to be much less well maintained and their pilots have considerably fewer flight hours than big or small commercial aircraft.

This is when "safety" takes a backseat to private ownership and responsibility, it's not because smaller aircraft are inherently less safe.

When embark on a private flight in a private aircraft there's virtually almost no circumstances in which you will not be cleared off for take off. Not to mention that anything upto a small jet can does take of from any sufficiently long patch of dirt rather than a fully staffed airport with ground crew that services and clears the aircraft.

If these guys will follow the same rules there is nothing much more inherently unsafe in being in a smaller or a rotary wing aircraft than in a brand new 747-800.

If you apply napkin calculations you can also make it sound that military aircraft are much more less safe than civilian ones, even in such cases in which they are the exact same aircraft in a different color scheme. It's not that the aircraft is less safe it's that the conditions it operates under are inherently more dangerous both in peace time and war.

It seemed like an area lots of suburbanites liked to go to shop. Yorktown mall was right down the road and there were lots of other retail stores and restaurants all down Butterfield Road. That was definitely where my family would go when we wanted to go shopping or have a "fancy" meal (lots of fond memories of the Red Lobster on the corner).

Speaking of Asimov, "The Dead Past" explores government controlled research, which the article proposed as one defense against black-ball ideas.

Without spoiling too much, the story revolves around suspected government suppression of a time-viewing device. The story's pretty easy to find online; the link below lists books it appears in.

Also highly depends on the cars setup. I've had some rental cars where the screen was terrible and definitely was a distraction. Example being Audi and their button controls for carplay.
Why not? Maybe not in an airplane and not at an airport, but the same general idea.

Just as a side note, Italy had almost 50k death in 2015 - from respiratory diseases alonr. No one was crying 'Pandemic!!' when that happened. Adjusted to population size, this is 4 times mord then here in Israel. Italy has 21% smokers rate, many many of them are old. These data (and more) is unique to Italy, and the reason why corona is so deadly THERE. And in any case - what would be the death rate and for how long if the entire world implements alengthy lockdown?

The pay is usually very noncompetitive. But the OP is okay with that.

The local universities around me have some dev/it positions posted on various job sites, and they are all offering bottom 30% or so in pay, like $45-60k/yr
> they could have already replaced Android with ChromeOS for quite some time now.

ChromeOS is only partly their platform. They don't really maintain control over it. Because, like the iphone 1, it's web. It's a shared platform.

Also, why just escape Java when you can escape the GPL Linux kernel too!! Bonus!

Fuchsia OS really is an existential hedge, a fallback position unlike all else. I still am willing to guess though that it was argued & sold on it's technics. If anything, allowing good engineers a great attractive project: that's what it takes to attract & retain talent in the competitive tech world, giving some of your engineers really wild greenfield chances. Ideally in a highly visible manner. But a capabilities based OS free from Java, free from GPL: it's a good corporate-safe technically-strong starting point to "organize the world's information, make it accessible and useful" (yet secure).
Demonstrate soft skills: leadership, people management. And also get into the business side of the company, understand how they measure success, propose new ideas...

Leaders need and trust people with these three skills: soft skills, business skills and technical skills.

- Team Leader
- Product Management
- CTO
You have not provided any evidence for this claim. And in fact, the very concept of "microinequity" (whatever that might mean) is at the opposite end of the spectrum from anything systemic.
Your missing the point. I'm not arguing you shouldn't trust most doctors. I'm arguing corruption is causing trust issues with experts in many fields. I don't have a solution, but I imagine the solution does involve managing corruption better. Same with institutions. corporations are spending lots of money undermining institutions and experts for "for profit" ends. More corruption. Not saying the other points aren't relevant just the solutions also needs to deal with corruption better.

Marketers yes. Advertisers yes. But recruiters? I don't have a problem with a recruiter seeking to become more knowledgeable about the tech field.

Granted, I don't want to see HN become a morass of hiring threads, but if and when I have another job to apply for, I'd like the recruiter to have some idea of what he's talking about and reading HN articles isn't exactly detrimental to that end.

True. In addition, builds can sometimes be slow on MSBuild. Of course, if you're interested in cross platform development Visual Studio 2015 provides some great new features.

I have a feeling the UX has a lot to do with it. Excel is just one big grid and all you need to do is move the cursor around using the arrow keys and key in data. Done.

All the 'Excel-replacement' solutions I've seen are forms based, so there's a lot of pointing and and dragging going on. That's so much slower than just using the keyboard.

Just observe how true Exel ninjas use it... the keyboard calisthenics is mind-blowing.

Perhaps an Excel replacement will need to have an Excel-like interface, or find a way to get rid of excessive pointing and clicking.

Unfortunately, radiation lends itself very well to sensationalism - "Invisible death rays are killing you right now!" That's exactly the kind of thing you would actually, really want to be very afraid of if it were happening, because developing symptoms is the only way a civilian could notice.

But the important part of assessing danger is knowing the strength of the radiation, and most public accounts simplistically divide objects into "radioactive, run for your lives" or "safe". Since measurements can accurately distinguish levels of radiation that are actually indistinguishable as far as real danger to human beings, you get reports like in the link stating that "the milk is radioactive!" when it's only 1/75th of a banana dose and no threat at all.
I'd recommend learning about markets and economics. My suspicion is that states will continue to implement all steps necessary to contain the virus over the next 18 months and bail out all businesses and consumers in order to keep the productivity of the economy close to the level prior to the outbreak. Depending on how difficult it will be to contain the virus, this might require funds on an unprecedented scale in modern times. It's difficult to predict how eager investors will be to finance these deficits. Obviously something like a hyperinflation scenario is completely out of the question for a developed state like the US and there will likely be more deflationary pressure over the next few years, but at some point states will have to deleverage and I'm inclined to say that they will probably do this using higher inflation rates, in which case you can probably profit a lot from knowing about markets and economics.
Thanks for the kind comment :)
> This is an interesting stance to take on HN, of all places.

I am not talking about internet forum discussions in which the default assumption is that all participants are having the discussion in good faith. I am talking about what the response should be to a scientist who wilfully violates the norms that are required of all science if science is to be reliable and trustworthy.

The closest analogy in the context of an internet forum would be how a forum moderator should deal with a participant who wilfully violates the norms that are required to have a useful, good faith discussion. We normally call these people "trolls", and for ordinary participants the best thing to do is usually to ignore them, but a moderator has to maintain the forum's signal to noise ratio, which at some point is going to mean shutting the troll down, and doing it visibly and publicly, so that the norms of the forum can be seen to be enforced. Kindness would not be appropriate in that situation either (although since the situation is not as serious as a scientist wilfully violating the norms of science, one would not expect the response to be as vehement either).

> Of course there should be consequences. But there's no need to be a jerk about administering them

Publicly enforcing norms that are required for an institution to function, and making it explicit that that is what you are doing, in language that reflects the seriousness of the violation, is not "being a jerk". Granted, it's also not being kind. But "kind" and "jerk" are not the only available options.
I maintain a list[0] of solutions to this problem. Cloudflare Tunnel is what I currently recommend to most people. IMO it's the easiest way to expose services publicly on the internet. For example a website or shared Plex server.

Main downsides to Cloudflare Tunnel are no e2ee (Cloudflare decrypts all your traffic) and technically anything other than basic HTML websites (ie media streaming) is against their free ToS, though I haven't heard of that being enforced in practice.

If you're the only one ever using your services then I'd recommend Tailscale instead, which sets up a VPN using WireGuard along with slick auto p2p setup (NAT traversal, relays, etc).

I get what you're saying, and broadly agree that data brokering is dirty and gross.

But the government selling your data to the highest bidder is worse than a private firm doing it - because they have the significant advantage of being the source of truth of that data itself. Every other firm is likely needing to piece together the public data that's out there, or that they've gathered themselves, and package it up. The government can just sell the data out of its operational database and guarantee its accuracy. The incentives here are really grim.

We need to tell the government that this is not ok. They might even then think of stopping private firms from doing the same.
Would you mind quickly summarizing what that plot is telling us? I looked at it but it looks like I've got to read more of the paper before I understand it.

Telling good marketing departments from bad marketing departments is really hard, and highly dependent on context. What might be a great marketing team for an enterprise software or SaaS company might make an awful marketing team for a consumer focused startup.

Good technology marketers generally are a) ex-engineers (this is a spay-shul breed of person), often those who went out in the field and sold when push came to shove or b) people that sincerely like technology and have lots of field experience.

A bad marketer says "Everything is a widget (or cpg.)" A good marketer says "Every buying process in every vertical is different and highly sensitive."

Generally, marketers arrive as communication-oriented (PR/Marcomm experience), technology-oriented (PMM/PM experience), or sales-oriented (former sales person, cares more about qualified leads than raw names and phone numbers.)

Read Steve Blank's book - most people point to him as one of the best marketers in Silicon Valley - or read about his adventures as head of the SuperMac marketing department - http://steveblank.com/category/supermac/ - That's what a GREAT marketer does.

But, yes, good tech marketers are rarer than hen's teeth. Most people in marketing are there because they lack the logical abilities to be an engineer and the courage to be a salesperson. (This is coming from a marketer.)

Generally, really good marketers know the hell out of their market, and know what metrics they're working towards. They should know every influencer in their field by name and viewpoint, if not personally. If anything, they really need to think of themselves as 'Market Response Engineers,' trying to find out what the market will do in response to the messages they communicate.

Additionally, avoid people who work/have worked at ad agencies. They know how to drink, not how to market things.

Well, it looks like they succeeded in their goal which was to funnel traffic to their site. It's now a top post on HN, with a top comment directly linking to their site, and I'm sure it will be shared in other places. This is partly why I'm not sure about blocking ads. I'd rather have ads be ads, and not have to read everything like it's a research paper to know if it's secretly an ad. Aside from personal blogs and forums, a lot of the internet is an ad in one way or another, although forums are also becoming more ad-y.

Check out this todo-list called workflowy.com. I think it adds two things to the todo-list genre:

- Allows infinite depth. This is possible in Word but not many other apps, however, I find my task-list to require atleast 4-5 levels of depth to model correctly
- Allows instant focus. I have a todo-list open right now that has 23 bullet items, it's nested 5 levels deep among a whole bunch of other items.

Writing is great (even though I do it very rarely) but a todo list (to me) is the absolute simplest way to model things that are "stuck" in my mind and preventing other top of the mind shower thinking.

It's completely passive. It's not how people learn. It looks like it should be educational, but let's face it. It's a great way to distract the kids so the parents can take a break. Parents need make no effort, just push a button.

> Whether or not Signal's server is open source has nothing to do with security.

Wrong. Availability is a core component of security. Keeping your server implementation closed and only available from one single entity gives signal a failing grade in my book.

Signal is great for one-off messaging but is a poor long-term solution for secure instant messaging.
I think the main reason they redact thing is to protect the innocent, and more so, themselves. I do agree they should stop picking on the US though.
You can argue whether or not this release is good or bad, right or wrong, however semantics are somewhat important. Would you say that learning something while reading a book in a bookstore is stealing? How do you propose to return stolen information?

Even if wikileaks physically returned whatever they physically received, but made a copy for their own purposes, is that still stealing? There are laws that apply to information, such as copyright, but this information is not protected by copyright. I read somewhere that there was no classified information in this release, so it also wouldn't be protected by those laws.

For me, the 2 main questions are:
1) is it legal (yes)
2) will it do more good than harm? (unknown)
