That issue has been in the Thunderbird/Enigmail Rube Goldberg setup forever, and publicly discussed since at least 2006. Always, the response is, Don’t use Enigmail with HTML email. At this point, it would be bigger news if they manage to fix it, so I expect to be informed if it happens.

The bigger problems are that it’s not integrated and it’s not effective for shielding metadata. With difficulty and being mindful of the sharp edges, you can use OpenPGP on desktop. You need a clunky third-party email client to get it on mobile. Best case scenario, you send lots of extra data that gets ignored. Worst case, all those attached signatures get downloaded as files, causing confusion and anger. And there’s no interoperability with S/MIME, which actually is supported by most proprietary email clients.

OpenPGP does not protect metadata. It piggybacks on SMTP, which publishes the sender, recipient, and subject line in the clear, along with the identity and timing of each server in the transport path from when you send the email to when it lands in your recipient’s mailbox. PGP was originally conceived as the “envelope” to protect your message contents, but in this era of unlimited surveillance we need to do better.

> Android Studio and the Gradle plugin are really, really coming along

Too bad Gradle only allows us to use one language (i.e. Groovy) to configure the builds. Because Maven uses generic XML, any language can sit atop it. E.g. Polyglot Maven [1] not only allows us to use Groovy, but also Clojure, Scala, and Ruby to configure its builds.

Seems like it has to do with the end result. If your goal is to make an app, then you have to program that app. So you are a programmer.

If you want something quick, maybe throwaway-able, you pick something to use for that, and you are a user.

You could build a program with that throwaway script without being a programmer though. Just like I can build a house without being a carpenter.

That's my interpretation though.

You're replying to a guy who talked about 'even utility solar'. So I'm just giving the story for utility solar.

And it's import to note that the biggest solar companies right now aren't residential, but utility, so we're not talking about some niche aspect of the industry here.

And even the biggest residential solar companies their main products are leases right now, meaning they do get to depreciate their installation costs and then either let you rent the panels or buy electricity from them.

So in the vast, vast majority of installed solar panels, depreciation plays a gigantic role.

As for SRECs, you could sell them actually, don't need to be a business to do so.
I was an engineering manager in one of the big Internet companies in Shanghai for 2 years.

As a foreigner (Singaporean), my own experience was those graduating from top Chinese schools actually is a dis-service to the whole team since those graduates tend to think too high of themselves, and thus are arrogant, slacking, demanding high benefits (salary, holidays, etc.), but their outputs don't commensurate with their attitude. Definitely there are good graduates from those schools and your experience may differ, but so far this is my observation.

As such I now no longer hire graduates from top Chinese colleges. Instead, those from second or third tier schools are more humble and hardworking.

No, I am not suppressing any salary. My staff (who came from a pretty not-well-known school) got a monthly basic salary of RMB25K, which I think isn't low in any standard, even in Shanghai. But I think he deserved every cent of it and I am happy to pay.

You're not really competing against just 'pay people to speak to recruiters though'. You're competing against any recruiting platform or professional network (e.g linked in).

You have to consider them for many reasons -- e.g. if you have any success, your more established competitors are well positioned to add that functionality.

Doing a keyword search for 'recruiting platform' and 'professional network' turns up plenty of potential competitors.

The reason why this is so important is that simpler molecules are much easier to simulate and work with from the theoretical side to create a bulletproof model of how the high temperature superconductors work. All of the cooper pairs and all that stuff took years and years to figure out because the molecule was something like yttrium barium copper oxide.. which is complicated as all hell to figure out what the electrons are doing inside of it while in a crystalline form.. H2S is basically like "sulfur plus some protons" is so much more simple to simulate with something like molecular dynamics methods to figure out what is going on with it. What the researchers probably are hoping to come out of this is a recipe for superconductivity based upon a crystalline form of some material that can be made in a low-cost fashion that superconducts at high temp..
Not the first. There was a Kickstarter project several years ago. Might not be as visual appealing, but it exists and it is open source: http://www.openrov.com/

It has a strong community and had lots of improvements over the years as well.

In that time I was actively supporting several Kickstarter projects (30-40 ?). That is where I learned to never pre-order again ;-) Just wait until its finished. If by then its still a good product (most are not) they take your order then for sure as well.

But that's general cost, not cost compared to current solutions. Hardware, software, documentation also had to be produced for any solution using XP embedded. (Probably shouldn't have continued using "laptops" idea from the parent post, since that's not really what's happening.)
In seriousness though, my hypothesis is that they are at least certain that they are not making the candidate pool any worse by their screening, i.e. they are not selecting for unqualified candidates. Even if their process is barely better than 50%+1, they are at least certain it is not worse than 50%, and consider that good enough. If they took 1000 candidates, 100 of which were qualified for the position, and whittled that down to 100 candidates, 11 of which were qualified for the position, they'd honestly consider that a win.
> Even with a properly managed team, moving 20+ years of edge cases and odd interactions for a turing complete game is going to be difficult.

And that's the problem. Everybody sees these as "edge cases". And that leads to failure. You can't simplify the back end engine, each card needs to be fully general and you need to carry around all its characteristics. At that point, you can execute all the actions you need because edge cases aren't. But, if you take even a single shortcut, it ripples outward and causes bugs everywhere.

They accept that there is less resource isolation in a plain container compared to a virtual machine container.

With a plain container, any OS process that you see is the common host OS process - it is just projected into your container. Compromising the process is compromising the the process for all containers.

For security purposes there's a big difference between starting with access to everything and then trying to reign in processes, access, resources etc compared to starting with hardware isolation and then allowing some functions (e.g. management) to cross.

Microsoft is completely correct on this: Containers are not security boundaries. A security boundary would require very few access points with very specific security policies. That is not containers.

Hyper-V virtual machines, on the other hand, enjoy hardware level isolation and starts from the other end: Anything that should cross the VM boundary has to be explicitly allowed, as opposed to OS virtualization where anything is allowed until the projection disallows it.

For instance, a container could try to delay processing of callbacks from the kernel processes. It is the same process as the others containers, and a single malicious container could very well starve the others for resources.

Both have their uses. Plain containers offer higher density but less isolation, Hyper-V (or any other VM technology) containers offer lower density but higher isolation.
You're right that it is not worth bothering with the manuals already online and available. But clearly they are so short of time they cannot spare the time to do such searches, and can only just grab them all.

I was annoyed when reddit slowly descended into the racist pit it is but it's more sad when I see HNers uncomfortable with calling out racism when they see it or questioning minorities personal encounters with it.

Ronald Reagan allegedly once said "Nothing lasts longer than a temporary government program.". The same applies to throw-away code and 'prototypes'.

> Perhaps a spreadsheet that allows some form of testing?

For complex, interrelated calculations this definitely makes a lot of sense. From my experience the most common problems with Excel sheets are collaborative editing and version control, though. I'm not sure if more recent versions of Excel and Office 365 in particular solve these issues. Google Spreadsheets sort of does (the UX is lacking, though) but then again hardly any company will even consider putting sensitive data in the cloud and rightfully so.

Even convincing users to use complementary tools that improve Excel-based processes might be difficult because due to prolonged, habitual (ab)use many users don't even see the problems that arise anymore ("Why change this? It's always been done this way."). Implementing such tools in a way they're accepted by users is hard. You can't just add Git or some acceptance testing framework to the flow and expect users to be happy with that. It'd have to be something that seems very intuitive and natural to use for the average Excel users.

A clear path from spreadsheet to application would be an interesting approach, too. Spreadsheets are a conglomeration of model, view and controller logic. If you could somehow separate those semi-automatically and generate a boilerplate application from that this might by a viable approach.

I had a similar experience. My new manager (not the hiring manager I was supposed to work for, it was a bait-and-switch they announced on my first day) was on vacation for 2 weeks and unreachable via email. Since no one else could give me the access permissions I needed to do anything, I had to literally twiddle my thumbs for the next 2 weeks--I couldn't even complete the SDE bootcamp. It was a comically terrible onboarding experience that made me seriously question my decision to join.

First, I didn't realize the first link was by you - I did read it prior to my previous response.

I think you overestimate the complexity of refundable (for "regret" reasons) micropayments. Both Amazon and Google play handle this fine.

I don't see why one would need to go back and get a refund for a quarter or dollar spent weeks ago; have a "pay to access - refunds as wanted (imediatly) after reading. In essence keep payments un escrow for 24-48 hours; with buyer opt-out.

> How do I keep you from copying my book, or music, or photos, or movie?

Why would you care? Go after systematic/for-profit copyright breach through the legal system - enjoy the rest as free publucity? If a link to pay could be embedded (eg: a pay:<content-hash> url scheme - it might be easy (enough) for readers (both in the people sense and application sende) to opt-in to paying. Register the hash in your library when you've decided to pay or refund; have the app commit to paying based on the list that's maintained in your account. The account could be with a payment broker, like itunes/amazon/google - or just a file. In case of a file you'd need to have the/an app look up the hash and follow some instructions for payment.

Your concerns wrt monitoring are valid; but not sure they're worse than what we seem to be moving towards.

[ed: re failure of micropayments - wouldn't someone not buying/paying for something they do not want be a win for micropayments? This would be similar for ads anyway? No view; no ad revenue?

But with ads, I can't get back my "ad view". If I read something (or started to) - and realised this isn't interesting - I could "unspend" a micropayment - let those that like content support it - but stop rewarding "eyeballs". Because that seems like a terrible quality measure (or measure of value-add/price).]

Some industries are lobbying aggressively. You're right that, in principle, the negotiations should be kept secret from the public until the terms of the deals are ready to be voted on. However you are forgetting that 'the public' ought to include corporate interests (it largely does not - they are party to the negotiations).

What actually is the point of Microsoft helping docker? They tell that """Linux containers require Linux APIs from the host kernel and Windows Server Containers require the Windows APIs of a host Windows kernel, so you cannot run Linux containers on a Windows Server host or a Windows Server Container on a Linux host."""

So why help docker? can't they just create their docker-like software for Windows Containers? What is the point of sharing the same client if what you can do with it depends on the platform you use?

I'm not attacking, i'm trying to figure out your case, because i occasionally hear people voicing a sentiment as in your original post, but never with actual detail. I'm just curious and wish to know more about this. :)

And sure, i didn't really expect you to remember what you did find. But while your response of "web development" does include credit card and http stuff, it only does so roughly. Many many web apps don't use either.

No doubt it is hard, our previous experience helped us a lot, we did make a fresh prototype vehicle in USA in just 2.5 months including procurement. Working with newer sensor and writing different perception algrithmso for current use case and even we used a different motion planning approach. We never got stuck anywhere, the only problem is time vs skilled manpower. We just wish we could have more people in our team to build more features sooner and ironing out more corner cases which have not prioritized due to lack of time. There are so many module and so many things we want to improve, and we know how, just need few more hands.
We our-self feel very proud to have been able to come to USA, hire interns, get the basics of every module right enough and integrate on time, including getting drive by wire and other retrofitting done and tested and stated piloting completely autonomous in unimaginable short time frame, thanks to the push from YC partners.
If $5 was near their costs, wouldn't they then sell it for 2$ or something, because Amazon (and their brand partner) make money with the button later?

I bet the $5 price point is something they arrived at mostly by asking what customers are _willing_ to pay.

That whole concept is so new they would not hinder it's success by making the button $10 or anything near the true cost. Amazon is all about investing in growth, and this is very likely an investment. Maybe not even that much in additional sales, but in mindshare for a totally new and unique shopping experience.

All of that does not work for an open "does anything you want"-button, so anybody designing and selling such a thing would have to think very very different about the hardware cost.
