Almost everyone I talk to agrees on this point and thinks the F-22/F-35 is the last generation of manned fighters (in the US, anyway). There's quite a bit of disagreement on the timeline, though.
Is HN really the place to conflate a single digit amount of personal anecdotes into a reason why someone should not use an app?

What year was this? Where was this? This comment is worth absolutely nothing without specifics, and even then its a tiny data point which cannot offer any real perspective on the current news about Uber in London.
In New York City we have four seasons: almost winter, winter, still winter, and construction. Supposedly we're in autumn but the reality is it's the tail end of construction. We'll have a few months of crummy weather and then back to beautiful sunny construction.
>most founders bring experts on-board

You have way too much faith my friend. How does bringing an authentication and security expert into your organization make you more money? It doesn't. What people like this tell you change is all cost and only hypothetical benifit. I suspect this doesnt happen anywhere near as much as it should.
Your welcome :) Yes it seems to be difficult sometimes though I have to admit I also jump the gun from time to time when certain topics or phrases trigger me.

Out of curiosity: was it a conscious decision for France and against Germany or did you get there by chance?

Yes, I've heard about "Alternativlos" and I think it's dangerous when people argue like this because there is always an alternative. Very interesting that you say it was the social democrats because in the US they are seen as very leftist (some even use the K-word) and in my opinion what they did is not very leftist.

To put markets on the same level as the weather is a pretty old idea which was spread by Adam Smith a lot but in the end it is made by men and therefor can't be a natural phenomenon and obviously it doesn't control itself in a way that the people profit from it (if we ignore the upper 1% of course).

To reduce public spendings seems to be a trend in Germany as well and I've heard about the goal to keep the "schwarze null" in this context a lot. I wonder how they (Germany, France etc.) will deal with 10x the number of refugees because that is one of the minimum estimates for the next few decades.

The book you talk about seems to be very interesting and I will definitely try to read it some time.

The EU is a really nice construct when looking at the originally postulated ideas behind it but I think it lacks a clear vision (instead of e.g. China) and I feel the same as you about them only opening up markets while forgetting the people. When the EU shattered Greece I couldn't believe my eyes because until then I thought that was exactly one of the situations they would tackle easily with all their resources etc.

While the economy could shake off some chains in the last decades in Europe the freedom of the individuals is more and more being restricted (many use terrorism and the fear of foreigners stealing jobs, money and their identity to achieve this).

Infrastructure like the railroad suffered as well and the Germans denationalized their "Deutsche Bahn" in the 90ies only to loose a huge amount of tracks and work even less efficiently.

There is a thought that really makes me sad about that besides the fact that they corrupted their own basically beautiful idea (achieve something together) and that is a whole generation of young people who really believed in this disney-like promise of the EU. They grew up with it and now have to witness how they've been lied to by their own governments starting at the very beginning.

At least there is still people like you who stay in the EU and maybe will have an impact on how things will develop in the near future. This gives me back some hope :)
Point 2. "Code is a Liability" ends with the sentence:
"Always strive to do everything using as little code as humanly possible."

On its own I consider this bad advice.

I would change it to 'Always strive to make your code as easy to understand as possible, while less lines of code and complexity is preferred'
Well while I agree and describe to some effect, more derived though, my physics professor said a couple of times of physics was wrong devices would fail. It is implying it wouldn’t have worked to begin with, I was taking the step forward that maybe it would until a fault tolerance level was reached.

Fault tolerance level is reached all the time. Devices and network solutions fail pretty regularly, all sorts of crazy bugs, both programmatic and hardware based. Not saying the underlying physics IS wrong, but I am sure there is a degree of accuracy which diverges and causes the edge cases. For example my network coverage goes out for no reason. The way the radio waves propagate to the cell tower is inefficient, maybe there’s some hidden science that can do it better. BELIEVE ME I would say impossibility level is like %99.999999 but that doesn’t mean it’s not possible.
Wow, I didn't realize how different things were over there. In the US, stores automatically started doing this without the need for government to step in. Maybe it became compulsory in other states but it seems like a huge waste of time to pass a law relating to this

I'd rather want Matrix to be the winner here.
Signal is just another ecosystem that will profit from the network effect once it's big.
Because you might prefer to do some things that cost more money rather sooner than later?
It's like with iPhones. There was someone who run Linux with a framebuffer on iPhone 3GS. It worked but was useless. Additional security added in newer iPhones made it impossible to do again. And users are happy, saying that their locked out iPhone is secure and they want only apple-approved software to run on their devices...

what's wrong with that - was there another business before Groupon that did exactly the same thing?
Didn't Groupon started an avalanche of Groupon-like business models?

The best way to learn programming conceptually is to read Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs, by Abelson and Sussman. The book is available free on-line, along with video lectures.

- http://mitpress.mit.edu/sicp/
- http://groups.csail.mit.edu/mac/classes/6.001/abelson-sussma...

Once you have mastered this material, learning the specialization of web development shouldn't take more than a week or two of intense study.

Plus, as a bizdev person, you will earn incredible street cred with programmers. MBAs with backgrounds in Lisp hacking don't come along every day.
As someone who started out last summer I can tell you what I did.

I am quite a lot older than you and I have a child, a company and a girlfriend to manage, so you can probably pick it up much faster than me. Basically I have been forced to take an hour here and an hour there, sometimes more.

I have worked on it a while now but http://www.blueskycouncil.com is my idea of a idea generation website. still lot's of little mistakes but again it was actually having a goal in mind that helped me know how far in the process I was.

So here is what I have done.

1. Sign up for Lynda.com

2. Watch php/mysql for beginners twice, just to get an understanding of the scope that I am about to venture into.

3. Start programming with an idea in mind.

4. Use IRC, StackOverflow and friends

That should take you plenty of the way.

I can also recommend reading books like Code Complete to get a sense of some of the programming issues and paradigms to think of.
I'm not very well versed with JavaScript/jQuery, so perhaps my thinking here is completely off.

Is it often the case that you want to wire up a click handler to link, but still want to follow the href? If not, why doesn't jQuery just automatically prevent navigation for links when handling the click event? Then for the few cases (confirming navigation, perhaps tracking user actions?) the programmer could explicitly indicate the continue through with navigation.

Having to write preventDefault() in each handler seems like unnecessary noise, doesn't it?
The best advice I can give you (by which I will also be echoing others), try to apply your knowledge as soon as you can.

Don't just learn to learn, because you will forget more than you remember.
Sounds very neat. I just gave you my email in the signup.
This could be so usefull...Good Luck! and..try to sleep after this pls :)
> Counter: Why did an intern have a level of access such that their account being breached could lead to this level of compromise/exfiltration?

I've worker with interns whose major redeeming quality was that their internship was fixed length and would be over soon. I've also worker with interns who demonstrated ability and responsibility sufficient to get the same access that I had (and, clearly, an offer letter). That it was an intern doesn't mean the level of access was inappropriate; of course, if it were my intern, I would take blame for them leaving their password on github.
Apple does comply with the FBI, and a lot of other governments, when it comes to data requests.
I understand and appreciate the point you're making (I want to add this as my response is slightly flippant).

How many BTC will it take to buy a Toyota Corolla in Feb 2022?
Google seems to be in some “cut all expenses” mode recently:

+ cancelled stadia game studio

+ cancelled free unlimited google photos

+ closed Chromium APIs for derived browsers

+ closed Google Music (replaced with YT Music)

+ froze hiring

+ cancelled new office leases
Detour: This thread has a lot of downvoted comments, but not a lot of replies. Further, a lot of the downvoted comments, like the above, are well argued. I, for one, would love to see more involved engagement.

Anyway. Anarchism is actually a broader concept than believing that state is fundamentally misaligned with the collective. That's a branch of anarchism if anything. A better definition of anarchism is the belief that every institution or authority has to be able to justify its presence and should be dismantled if it can't (quoting Noam Chomsky). Following that defintion, I'd say that crypto-anarchism is anarachism where redistribution of power is done via technological means, with an emphasis on technological solutions to privacy and trust.
I remember reading the MySQL developers justifications for why transactions weren't important along with articles such as these back in the 00s

https://sql-info.de/mysql/gotchas.html

and deciding a database that treats 1/0 as NULL and allows inserting February 31st as a valid date wasn't worth bothering with.
Is she that wrong? I don’t think so.

Do I think most private companies could defend against Double Dragon or Lazarus or Fancy Bear? No, if a state level adversary is attacking you and the payoff is that good, you are going to get popped.

But a strong posture makes it harder, which means they throw more at you and you have a chance of picking up on the attack. Best case, anyways. Worst case, you get to testify to Congress that your security measures were top notch and industry leading. That sounds a shit ton better than “we left a screen door open and didn’t notice for months.”
Nah unfortunately not. I tabled that project a long time ago.
> time is money at their stage of business.

Yes, this is one of your best sources of leverage, as long as you can take your time and be picky (which you absolutely should be able to do if you're a working programmer).

The longer you keep them talking to you, the better. They can't waste time forever, and their own sunk cost bias works in your favor.
Totally. Those labels are instant mind-killers and in my book they are tools of the Dark Arts. When someone calls you a "socialist" or "neoliberal" or whatever, they imply you believe everything some ideology has to say, so they can go ahead, point any random weak point (every political ideology has some) and call you a moron.

This is so totally dumb behaviour, that I can't even begin to describe it. What's equally dumb is assuming that if you agree with some group on one thing, then you should also agree on everything else.

Basically - for me, giving yourself a political label is a sign of subpar thinking. Giving others political labels is disingenuous.
sure - i think one of the above answered it for me that there is no equivalent boost on the client end which i think is why it hasn't helped me much.
Looks good! I'll try it out! I've tried many GTD software and organizers but none fully satisfies me (I liked Tracks).

I see there is an Android version, that is good!!
But there is no Linux version... I use both Linux and Windows.
Anyway, looks good!
I knew about the worm but I'm not exactly a fan of the person so I had no idea he was a co-founder of Y Combinator. Next think I know you'll be telling me that a movie actress helped invent a torpedo guidance system.

I've been trying to understand the full remote supply chain, going directly from the offshore supply chain directly to FBA.
No there were not. The other reply confuses acceptance of homosexual activity with acceptance of homosexual marriage. The latter is a new concept, the former was common in many cultures (notably Ancient Rome / Greece).

Homosexual activity cannot result in biological children so there was really never any society that considered anything like homosexual marriage until our own. The main reason for marriage was to control sexual unions and the children who might result from them. In societies which had marriage (many had no such concept) homosexual marriage didn't make much sense.

The wikipedia article on historical same-sex unions mentions that some cultures had rituals around cementing homosexual relationships but those wouldn't be considered the same as marriage, they'd be more like any pre-sexual / pre-relationship rituals. Marriage typically is about the sharing of finances, responsibilities, the raising and rights of children, etc. And none of the examples in the wikipedia article on historical same-sex unions concerned any of these.
In the same vein, if the EU passes a right to repair - which I assume they don’t currently have - then those parts should be made available to US consumers as well.

If this interests you, it would make sense to support political efforts worldwide, regardless of your own citizenship.
To be more precise: The city has outlawed the construction of new housing to economically support the demand.
No one else wanted to try, but I had a feeling my data is breached (seems to happen every few months?)

Anyhow, my phone number had a hit and they showed my first and last initial and corresponding asterisks; seems legit.

For people saying "why enter your phone number into random site" -- not sure how much value a phone number provides without the accompanying information.
I'm personally skeptical of AA due to a.) the fact that it is structured in a way that makes it impossible for it to evaluate its own efficacy and b.) the general cult vibe.

it's difficult to attack because, among other things, it is already integrated with the justice system. it fills the role of "okay, you're guilty of {drug-related offense}, but since it's your first time we're gonna cut you a break. we can't just let you get off scot-free, so you gotta go to these meetings and get this slip signed. maybe you'll end up turning your life around in the process." any discussion of a replacement probably has to start with "how much does it cost?" and "who's paying?".
Do you think the same thing about children with MS who receive pain relievers?

Or is it different when you can see the symptoms?
All that shows is that your values/political views/understanding of the world align with The Economist. It doesn’t say anything about whether that world view is true or not. I am not making any claims as to the rightness/wrongness of The Economist. Just pointing out that what you are experiencing is not an objective evaluation.
I agree that it's a leap to establish a connection with the Chinese government based on the information in this post. However the Chinese government or internet providers are presumably in a position to track down and remove the control servers. If they don't do this they are likely to continue to be blamed for this attack and similar attacks in the future. This is true even if they are not directly responsible or do not approve of the actions.
It's leisure I think.
Reminds me when I printed a boarding pass in "2-up" mode. Of course the 2D barcode on the pass was half-sized and none of their machines could read it.
Would also recommend 'The Non-Designers Design Book' for base knowledge about layout and typography.
The Linux kernel. If you look at it really closely it isn't so pretty, but its massive size and overall complexity for me (as an undergraduate) was like looking into the grand canyon. What's more impressive is the speed at which things change and that despite breaking all of the traditional rules for "good" software design practices...it works amazingly well.
Maybe that's what should be filled in where the author says "I’m really wondering what’s next on this list".

But I don't think it's the logical next step in the evolution described - it's rather what happens if you learn Lisp or Haskell or so and then revisit your javascript practises.
I think I first started using UNIX around 1986. Always thought that DOS was a poor mans rip off of UNIX. Needless say this emulator is a major treat. I actually used to play "Hunt the Wumpus" with a buddy of mine way back when.

As for "should obsolete tools be removed" no! Everything in UNIX is built upon something else. You could and still can build the most useful shell scripts to support whatever task. Treat UNIX commands like any computer programming langaue commands and you have tools.

Just a week ago I'm using dd to convert old IBM mainframe from "EBCDIC" to "ASCII" data. Followed that up by writing some C language code to process packed decimal data.

I hope the same isn't done for HN. The difference between self-posts in Reddit and HN is that the Ask YC/HN/PGs here stimulate good discussion and suggestions, not only useful to the original poster but to the rest of the community as well.

Although "karma doesn't mean anything!" if you post a good Ask YC /HN/PG and it has some good discussion and stuff in it, you should be rewarded with some points, just like if you post a good article.

I'd say this is probably true for Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan, as those countries have powerful authoritarian leaders that fully enjoy the benefits of the security apparatus left over from the USSR.

Tajikistan is different as the president's power is somewhat limited the further away you go from the few important cities.

Don't know much about Kazakhstan, but I suspect it's more or less like Uzbekistan.

$399 is still about 2x the cost of my phone, and a little under 1/2 the price of a laptop.

Not every developer works for FAANG . Some jobs rely heavily on in person work. And not everyone can drive. If you're making effectively minimum wage, $99 is a big deal.

Especially when Apple doesn't really seem to offer that much of anything aside from privacy(and mdns support) Android is great now, and iOS is way too locked down.
Thanks! I removed the scripts earlier today btw.
Cool. I have a script for that in a cronjob probing all my domains, but nice.

No IPv6 support? :-(
I bet they get a lot of sampling bias.
You should probably mention the police as well. The terrorists wearing badges seem to also have little to fear from the law.
People don't realise that on the internet you need to mention a jurisdiction when you talk about things like law and tax.
Yeah... it’s a sad pipe dream. You’re better off producing something of value to those around you.
see the comment above "RE: #" concerning the index. synergy doesn't provide means for you to pass custom arguments into the event handlers, but the event target and the datum provide context of the loop and the handlers "this" is the viewmodel itself.
They used to be somewhat popular in Mediatek SoCs, but not so much recently. I don't know why they're not getting as many design wins recently - maybe they're too expensive or too power hungry.

In the end you can't just get new customers on demand - you have to earn them.
Thanks for sharing. A lot of the narratives about police helping them did seem a bit over the top. The videos don't look great but it's also easy to cherry pick videos and photos to make it look like that. That being said, it still doesn't explain how lenient they were on the mob, while in other instances during summer protests they were far more aggressive.

In the very scene where the girl got shot, if you look from a different angle, you see there were a dozen riot police behind them doing basically nothing [0]. I have yet to find a satisfying explanation for it, considering the protesters were literally smashing doors and windows. [1]
