Note that neither backblaze nor godaddy own the domain.

BackBlaze has a tranferable lease with renewal rights and godaddy is a middleman.

What godaddy did is very wrong, but it's not stealing. More like breach of contract, failure to provide service or similar.
I'd prefer podman for that use case since it's designed that way from the get go.
But we do care. Once you put a name to something, you realize it can generalize beyond numbers and addition. If you don't name it, you don't see the generalization. And these generalizations matter a lot because Haskell is built out of them.

Besides, learning what a "monoid" is is not harder than learning what a for-loop is or a hash map. They aren't natural concepts, but they are easy to learn by programmers.

Aren't most severe patients elderly? Why would birth defects be a problem at this point?

It's a sacrifice, yes, but I can buy chocolate without being anguished that it got the blood of children from third-world countries on it. Doesn't everyone silently accept these things by living in modern society?

I mean, sure, some people love to pretend that they really care, but none of them sacrifice their own benefits, instead choosing, like me, to sacrifice the benefits of other people.

There's no dilemma once I've chosen a position. The dilemma is having to choose if you want to sacrifice your benefits, by for example not buying a smartphone, or the benefits of other people, by supporting the exploitation of other people through your purchasing power.

The Flat Earth Society exists to pretend there's credible science that explains the infallible 2000-year-old view that the sun goes around the earth.
If there’s anything the current debacles in Europe and the U.S. has taught us, it’s that selfish and/or irrational jerks abound, and asking nicely doesn’t work at all.
These are surprisingly worthless, without the quoty explaining the context. Kind of like Zen Koans, you can make of them what you will.
That's a very limited view of the world. The military budget of the US may dwarf that of the other countries but as Iraq has shown it is easier to start a war than to finish it on terms that you like. By all counts that matter (except the bank accounts of the profiteers) that war was a disaster.

Right now there are many 'great powers' simply because power is a function of distance from its source. The US is able to project its power across the globe but would have a very hard time taking on Russia, China or even North Korea or Iran on their own or neighbouring soil. Power is (very much) limited by distance.

So even if starting a war that the US will seriously want to be involved in may be folly several such wars at the same time could easily overwhelm the capacity available. The safe bet seems to be to only wage war where there is no oil in the ground, then you can do almost whatever you please.
I just slip it in to my bag and open it when I get home. I sometimes have a few issues with after-work beers interfering with the sync process, but generally it works OK.
Should be compulsory reading for any developer.

Not only C, but the other CERT standards as well.
hey there! I'm one of the InsiteVR co-founders. Thanks for sharing! If you have any feedback or want to talk about VR in general I'd love to chat: angel[at]insitevr.com
This is really the best way to do it.

Just doing it for the fun, not the profit of a publisher that only cares about ideas that sell.
You see it all the time though - it is either implemented that way from the outset, or when setup with a proper POST then someone in testing files a feature request or bug that says "when I bookmark the search page or email the link the search results reset - we need to be able to link to a results page" and wa-la.

It suggests that this data was surfaced accidentally and DoubleClick may not have been interpreting the actual parameters. Either way, it is horrible - there shouldn't be any ad networks or third-party requests within a domain scope that is handling health data.
I loved SICP when I worked through it, but I was already an experienced programmer at that time. I venture to guess that most of the people praising SICP actually has programming experience before reading it, even if the book purport to be an introductory course.

I would probably have given up on programming if SICP had actually been my introduction to programming.
Your choice of a thirty-two year period, and 11 year period, and a 24 year period, when the unequal periods aren't supported by some kind of consistent in-period patterns in the conjectured independent variable, plus using fuzzy subjective descriptors for the independent variable, suggest a breathtaking degree of cherry picking and desired-results-driving-methodology, here.
I am an Indian citizen so I can offer some perspective. Atleast 50% of those in software engineering don't vote. Going to voting station, standing in queue and voting is a painful process and most of us don't take the trouble. Hence, their concerns are not really heard in the govt. These people will not go to concerned authorities and explain them how it will affect the economy. They will just whine for a few days and then find a workaround. Most of those affected by these blockades are mom and pop shops aka startups. Govt doesn't listen to people in startups. It only listens to big guys like Infosys and TCS. These big guys don't use github to host their code.

In India, the moment you say security, all logic and reason stop. And police is always looking for quick fixes. That is why google street view is still not available in India.
In EU, there are specific rules for tunnels, for instance: parking is illegal, U-turns are illegal, you must use headlights. For transporting dangerous materials there are of course more rules, but those are relevant for lorry/truck drivers.

There's even a standardized roadsign for when tunnel rules apply:
http://www.finlex.fi/data/sdliite/liikm/5226.gif

Of course, e.g. in Finland the part about headlights doesn't matter much because headlights are obligatory all the time, anyway.

And: there are some things you need to know about driving in/in to/out of a tunnel, particularly in winter conditions.

When an old lady drives her car 80 km/h on a road with speed limit of 90, most of the drivers happily follow her instead of overtaking, and you could see such kinds of "caravans" very often.

After a hockey game, one could see a few kilometer long caravans of cars while not a single one is trying to move on the opposite lane to overtake which is absolutely unimaginable situation in social shitholes like Russia.
I think you're right that it would be bad for small businesses. But for users(I meant users as viewers of the ads), I still don't think it adds much value. If getting information wasn't easy like the old days, I can understand how targeted ads are beneficial. But I can look for hard drive info and reviews easily these days. And the information I find will likely be a lot better than ads. Personalized ads and non-personalized ads don't look a lot different in terms of benefits they bring to the viewer.

first, i would recommend travelling to a poor or developing country and taking a hard look around for a good solid week or more.

second, be aware of your feelings and emotions, don't try to suppress them. analyze them and use them as motivation.

third, learn what you can from successful people, either directly or by observation.

finally, when you get older, you will realize all that other stuff you find so distracting now has literally absolutely no bearing on whether or not YOU will succeed at your goals, so there's only one thing you can do, and that's work on your own shit. once you come to this realization, a lot of the stupid crap floating around in your head will just sort of disappear.
I wonder if a band pass filter would suffice to defeat this attack?
But that's my point. It's not basic because it's so context dependent (hence the comment about the regex/functions).

No matter how clever you get with your pattern matching, you're going to have to always play catch-up with Web Framework N+1's format / weird-ass package manager. The dual approach is the only sensible approach because it expands your coverage. The important thing to this is to internalize the knowledge learned from 3rd parties and integrate that into your native process / tools, but not everyone will do that.

It'd be grand if we could say, "yeah, they should take care of my security for me because I'm paying them" but reality is a bitch. It doesn't matter what they were 'supposed' to do if there was an infosec leak or attack, you can't ctrl-z that (set of) event(s) and that info is out there, so it must be fixed (re-roll credentials, regen keys/certs, etc) and accounted for next time. There really is no 'getting ahead' but 'being less behind' will at least help mitigate getting eaten from the herd ;-)
They didn’t. They only had a “profit” once you backed out over a dozen expenses - including stock based compensation.
Is this written by an AI?

I have a really hard time understanding the author.
Daft Punk has split up, so it is no longer a valid meme.
This has that too, it's called "reddit"
I think it's only in the last 200 years or so that people could actually live comfortably with periods of not worrying about the things you mention.

How many famines, wars and water shortages happened since the dawn of man? How many people worried about those things vs how many people were born?

Not discounting the severity of the issue, just outlining how lucky people have been in the last few centuries.
I meant what is 'money' anyway? :)
You are maybe the only person I've seen write about Cbdcs who sees in it what I do.

It's a policy tool, not a technology. They could set up a cbdc with minim effort technologically. The problem would be getting the congressional approval to use it the way they want to use it.

Wish I could upvote this post more times.

Wow! Sure looks good
While I understand how horrible school is, you may be forced by law / your caretakers to attend.
I went to a particularly hard high school and I hated how much time I was wasting learning to pass exams and forgetting their content right after.

My response to that was to start working as a software developer online, learning a trade and making money as a teenager. I highly recommend it. Despite working, I never managed to escape school as homeschooling wasn't an option and I ruined my sleep for years between school, homeworks and work. Still, that gave me a significant edge on the market and it was probably the smartest thing I did in my life.

When I was done with mandatory schooling I ended up pursuing a voluntary bachelor's degree (in Europe, random university, kind of free, total cost ~10k EUR, no debt) because I thought it could be useful one day. It never proved itself useful but I was also able to work a real job during it so I didn't waste much time. I attended only the lessons I considered interesting and valuable and attempted to pass exams as best as I could. Somehow it worked out.

If you can fight for a better life, do it.
If you can't, don't ruin your life over it, use it as a challenge, as an opportunity to build an opinion of the world and find like minded people.

You may want to look into voluntarism as a political / social philosophy.
Best of luck
Bloomberg operates a group of distributed, redundant data centres with massive compute and network infrastructure to ingest real-time data from every exchange and major market participant in the world, across a huge range of financial asset classes. It then fires the tiny subset of this that you happen to be interested in at any given moment down to your Bloomberg terminal.

In addition there is data that only they have because it's generated as a by-product of their trading functionality. If I'm MegaBank Corp and I want to sell e.g. credit default swaps denominated in Norwegian Krone, I can advertise this by feeding my prices for such deals to Bloomberg so potential clients who also have a BB terminal can see them and click a price they like to make a trade. This gives Bloomberg a pool of liquidity/price info that no independent source has access to.

So there are very strong network effects. Even if you could spend the billions to duplicate the infrastructure and rewrite all the software required, to actually do the same thing you would also need to replicate all the business relationships with data sources.

Disclaimer: I am not a lawyer/cat/financial-advisor/etc, but I used to be a developer at Bloomberg :-)
I've also thought about literally working out of my basement (nice and cool in summer), but there's a bit of a social stigma attached to working out of dirty storage space :)
Yeah a great way to really know people is to work hard and much together, then you know how they handle stress and situations where the hope about getting something delivered on time / getting payed on time is small
it would be as accurate as the server logs, the only difference is I don't need to analyse those logs I can keep using google analytics.

that's my whole point: "yadda yadda yadda ublock or adblock or whatever block ga.js on the client side haha you can not track the visitors anymore"

nope I can still track them and I don't need to even bother analysing the server logs

server side:

1. I can detect if there is a _ga cookie
2. if not, I can generate a UUID based on the user-agent and IP
3. and I send my pageview from the server side

it is not perfect, I would certainly not use that UUID to identify a login session but it does work without me having to stop using google analytics.

> "There isn't always enough entropy to uniquely identify a user"

there is, read the EFF link it explains all that nicely

TL;DR

- you can not send tracking client side anymore
- OK, I can send tracking server side, go ahead try to ublock that
That's a red herring, just take a look at some budget breakdowns:

https://www.nationalpriorities.org/budget-basics/federal-bud...

The largest portion of our budget is mandatory spending (~65%). Of our mandatory spending, the largest portion of that is spent on Social Services (Social security, medicare and health, etc) and yet we still have worse services than almost any other western country (IMO).

You start looking at percentages and an even more sinister picture starts to take shape:

https://visualeconomics.creditloan.com/how-countries-spend-t...

> "Canada spends 6.3 percent of its total yearly budget on military spending. The United States spends 19.3 percent of its budget on military expenses. Mexico uses 3.3 percent of its budget for military spending."

> "Canada spends 17.9 percent of its total yearly budget on health care. The United States spends 19.3 percent of its budget on health care expenses. Mexico uses 11.8 percent of its budget for health care."

> "Norway spends 17.9 percent of its budget on health care spending, while its neighbor Sweden spends 13.8 percent of its budget on health care."

> "In France, health care spending is 16.7 percent of France’s yearly budget."

This article needs citation, but see this report that seems to at least tangentially support some of the trends voiced:

http://www.oecd.org/els/health-systems/Briefing-Note-NORWAY-...

> "The United States is, by far, the country that spends the most on health as a share
of its economy (with 16.9% of its GDP allocated to health in 2012)"

So at this point we can conclude that the US spends roughly the same share, or more, of it's GDP on Health care as other countries...even those "socialist" ones...yet we have a much worse standard/level/cost of care.

Even at our "lower" tax rates our GDP is by far and away the largest:

https://www.google.com/search?q=list+of+countries+by+GDP&oq=...

But moreover, our PER CAPITA GDP is one of the highest in the world (higher than Norway and Sweden).

So at the end of the day, America:

* Spends more on healthcare in flat dollar terms than almost any other nation

* Spends more on healthcare PER CAPITA than almost any other nation

and yet we still have far worse levels of care.

So this problem has nothing to do with economic or tax policy in the US. The question is: Where is the enormous sums of money we are ALREADY pouring into the system going?
I peeked. (A) Cards I use are not there, (B) an Apple Store US$100 card is sold for $100, and (C) US payment method is required, which kind of defeats the entire point. Good try though.

In this thread, a fundamental misunderstanding of how gift card market works seems to prevail.

There’s basic arbitrage. Vendor Acme in region X locks out people from region Y (e.g., based on payment method address); Alice lives in region X and can buy an N value Acme gift card for N-1 at a local store; Bob lives in region Y and wants to transact with Acme; Alice buys a gift card for N-1 and sells it to Bob for N+1 online; Bob gains the ability to transact with Acme, Alice gains 2 as revenue.

Thus, gift cards going for higher than face value does not automatically imply anything beyond a market acting as it should and is not specific to Amazon in any way.
Rhetorical question? If not a coup then certainly an attempted coup.
I saw a reference to Ruby, but not Rails. Are you inferring Rails from the mention of Frameworks towards the end?
Any plans to get added to 3commas?
Not saying it was stolen, but just adding some perspective...

Some people don't agree with the courts decisions, especially when they are ruling contrary to state constitution or law. You can see this in some of the rulings for PA election law. For example, some counties were counting mail-in ballots with deficiencies, while others were not. In some cases, like the PA senate seat that spans Alleghany and Westmoreland counties, this would lead to some people's deficienct mail-in votes either counting or not counting based solely on if they live in one county vs the other. Or that the PA constitution and voting law is very explicit in detailing what events qualify one to use a mail-in ballot.

So in specific scenarios (which may or may not have swayed the election), it appears that rule of law may have been violated. And that in itself is concerning.
> Where's the tear gas and rubber bullets?

Tear gas was deployed and live fire (not rubber bullets) exchanged within the Capitol.

But, yeah, allowing them to breach the Capitol and open fire within the building is very different than we've seen with protests with a different ideological bent. But it's consistent with how right-wing white protestors have been treated elsewhere in the country recently by law enforcement.
Interviewers at most tech companies have to follow a script, one that most definitely requires them to ask you to code.

The interviewer has no choice other than to ask you write code. You describe the interviewer as arrogant and immature, but to me the candidate who hangs up fuming because he was asked to do a little bit of typing is the one who is antagonistic.
Retail can be soul-draining, some places more than others.

I'm sure the costs would be prohibitive at most malls, but the best use of a mall I can think of would be to use the former stores for SCIFs and other secure work areas, onsite hosting, etc. then maximize skylights for the central atrium. The lack of windows in the former store spaces works in one's favor in these use cases.
That actually did bother me in the letter.

He states:

-Most students taking CS courses are already familiar with an imperative laguage.

-we are all shaped by the tools we train ourselves to use, and in this respect programming languages have a devious influence: they shape our thinking habits.

This would imply that most CS students already come pre-ruined. At that point then, does it matter what language is picked?

Another alternative would be to start functional languages with data structures and algorithm courses(Generally taken sophomore year, and one of the first CS specific classes taken), and use that to fix broken habits. idk if the professors though want to take time to teach a new language if students already know one.
Sure, BB isn't for everyone. But there's Suits, and House of Cards and Sons of Anarchy, it goes on. The good stuff today far, far exceeds the best of the 70's.

Of course, there's plenty of crap on TV today, but I'm talking about the good stuff from each era. Yes, Twilight Zone was good. I think it was quite an anomaly.
Definitely! Don't use Krita on OSX for real work. It's labeled as _experimental_ for a reason! And that's the guy who did the port talking. Also, there are lots of features missing still. It's there to show that it can be done, but the Mac port of Krita needs funding -- about 30k euros, at least, to make it work well.
Personal attacks are not allowed on Hacker News, even when someone else has commented inappropriately.
I've always assumed they're basically legalised bribery, but I'd be interested to hear the best non-cynical explanation. Off the top of my head, I guess it could be a way of buying status-by-association, showing prospective clients and employees that you're a serious player with money to splash around and connections to power. (Which I admit is still a fairly cynical explanation.)
on my Mac, control-p prints and control-d is a "DoIt."
I think this is the correct answer. Any business where there is a lack of competition tends towards negative monopolistic behaviors. Monopolies tend to not be good for consumers with knock-on effects for society. If gas (standard oil, for example) is a monopoly then consumers experience inflated prices. If media has a lack of competition consumers are told a point of view that they believe over time due to a lack of alternatives.
There is also a lot of unethical/ inhumane sourcing on civet coffee at this point.
I've been working on wiring up a laser glalvo to my ESP32 and ended up writing a game...
its probably not a coincidence this is only 25 miles away form gobekli tepe: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karaca_Da%C4%9F?fbclid=IwAR1...

"n 6 March 2006 Der Spiegel reported that the Max Planck Institute for Plant Breeding Research in Cologne[4] had discovered that the genetically common ancestor of 68 contemporary types of cereal still grows as a wild plant on the slopes of Mount Karaca (Karacadag).[5] The results strongly suggest that slopes of Karaca Dağ provided the site for the first domestication of einkorn wheat approximately 9,000 years ago."
