For me, most commercial VPN services have worked fine.

PPTP VPNs are blocked/flaky on mobile data plan connections (maybe by the phone company), but no real issues on wifi.

On 3/4G, Shadowsocks works perfectly and corporate VPN (Cisco/IPSec) have no issues.

I don't think he worded it quite right but the inclusion of "not twice as much" makes it clearer that he was referring to "0 to 1,000" vs "0 to 2,000" (not 0 to 1,000 vs 1,000 to 2,000). So I believe the error was in the writing, not the math or understanding. Which he even pre-apologized for presumably in an attempt to assuage the nit-pickers.
Haven't watched that yet. I love the idea, though. Silicon Valley creates so many BS valuations that there should be some negative incentive to it or at least a steady stream of people getting rich off calling their BS. Might lead to some changes in valuations as a side effect.

I think you have confused the grounds for extradition. It can generally happen when the act is a crime both where extradited from and where extradited to.

Blasphemy is not criminal in the US, so let's not worry about that until you travel to Turkey or EU countries where "hate laws" apply.

Money laundering, fraud etc. on the other hand are illegal both in New Zealand and the US, so extradition grounds are there.

The fact that Kim Schmitz has never been to US does not mean that what he's done wouldn't be relevant to US and US laws wouldn't apply.

As an example, had Hideki Tojo ever set foot in the US? Not that I know - he might have, but it's not relevant. His actions were clearly seen on the US soil, and Americans did execute him by hanging.

Scam artists have been doing this for a long time. A lot of things are not verified simply because verifying then could show they are false.

One can equally ask a scam victim "Wait, you sent money to Nigeria? How could you do it?" or a cult member "Why didn't you get out sooner?". And the answer is that for the scam to work, the victim has to become a believe first, then they will resist revising their beliefs. They become a co-conspirator so to speak.

So the fusion guy convinced himself and his investors that 1MW works, neither one of them have any interest at this point in revealing that it doesn't. They would want to sell it, bring others on board, and then slowly fade away.

Investors often don't want to know the truth, because it would reveal that they've been played. If someone pays the money for D-Wave, they now have an inherent interest in not telling the world how it doesn't work, because the world will laugh at them for spending all that money on it to beging with.
I tried but the \ syntax for calling an instance method on an object is asinine and I hate it.
I love nginx. But most of these are mitigation for DoS only targeting the web server, not DDoS. They're explaining how to throttle a single IP. The whole point of DDoS is to distribute the attack to bypass mechanisms that throttle single IP's (plus to amplify).

Also the DDoS attacks that we've been hit with actually target our uplinks by saturating them with traffic, not our services. We have a 1 Gbps port and the last DDoS we were hit with was over 20 Gbps, which is a relatively small one. The mitigation we used was to have our hosting facility get their upstream provider to route the traffic through a layer 7 DDoS mitigation filter provided by an external company. It worked wonderfully.

These are cool features, but when your link is saturated it doesn't matter what a daemon listening on a port does.

I was commenting more on how there is a hidden element that GitHub has, that would explain why the person that I responded to would feel he/she was looking at a wall of text. I used GitLab and GitHub's branches page as an example, since I studied both quite a bit and it was easy to highlight how sparseness has it's advantages and how it can shape ones perception.
They aren't circles, they are p-gons. A factorization is drawn as a tree where each level has p radially symmetric branches, corresponding to a prime factor p. (Only the leafs are drawn, but you can fill in the branches and node). A prime number has only one level

As you say it, I notice some parallels. A small team promotes ColdFusion as a revolution that goes against standard practices and is totally better. Most call bullshit on that with some uptake and research. A fringe builds new tech on top of ColdFusion & replications (open-source). All kinds of new, proven stuff comes out of both mainstream and comp sci over the decades. Occasionally, sales people still crop up talking about ColdFusion as a real benefit for developers. They've seen people kick ass with it.

Then, the rest of us were like: "Oh, nevermind."
We also need to prevent double trials. If an individual were judged and sentenced for a crime in one country, he should not be judged on the same grounds in another.

> Getting paid for power and getting enough seed money to build more generators does involve convincing people,

He is clearly not trying to convince anyone serious by disallowing scientists to measure using their own equipment and on their own terms and conditions. Energy production is not hard to measure and people have been metering electrical enenergy for many decades now.

So far is obstructing and preventing such scrutiny. He is trying to convince only rich people to give him money. If you look at that as his goal, he is doing all the right steps in that direction.

> He even started his own energy company, iirc, and has been selling self-contained "generators" to people.

> one where jurors weren't routinely disqualified from serving on a jury simply because they are aware of the concept of jury nullification

Off-topic but tangentially related.

I served on jury duty for the local court system and had an opportunity to speak with one of the prosecuting attorneys after my term was over. I couldn't help myself from asking him how he felt, as a prosecutor, about jury nullification, and would have been surprised by his response had I not already been aware of his political leanings. It was his personal opinion that jury nullification was under-utilized and that it shouldn't serve as a reason to disqualify jurors. Indeed, he wished jurors were generally more well-informed and at least aware of the possibility and utility of its use, especially given its history in colonial courts. (It's a shame that some localities may have laws that could be used to punish such jurors.)

That much gives me hope, but considering how few attorneys and judges likely share his sentiments, I'm not sure if that hope is misplaced (maybe it is). Plus, it's anecdotal with a sample size of one. ;)

I admit I don't really have a point other than to share my experience, and I'm neither agreeing nor disagreeing with your assertions, but I found it interesting that there are at least some people in the bowels of the judicial system who have similar concerns. I'm just not sure they're numerous enough (or ever will be numerous enough) to effect change.

Ask HN: Can single licenses of Windows 10 Enterprise be purchased?
Win10 Enterprise is the only version that allows telemetry to be disabled, or full control of updates (Long Term Support Branch = LTSB). But only the Home and Pro editions are available on the Microsoft Store online. A web search of retailers was not successful in finding Win10 Enterprise.

http://www.mirazon.com/windows-8-1-enterprise-get/ says that it was possible to buy Win8 Pro on a new machine, then obtain Software Assurance without Volume Licensing. The SA entitlement could then be used to upgrade Win8 Pro to Win8 Enterprise.

http://www.microsoftlicensereview.com/?tag=windows-10-enterprise says, "In March 2014, Microsoft updated their channel policies with the implication that SA is only available when purchased with Windows Enterprise. After July 2014, organisations were unable to purchase Software Assurance (SA) and retrospectively assign to Windows OEM or retail purchases within 90 days, In addition, organisations are unable to purchase Windows Enterprise stand alone without SA under the Enterprise Agreement or MPSA volume licensing programmes.".

If it is not possible to purchase single copies of Win10 Enterprise, what is the minimum number of copies that must be purchased?

Considering this intersects Rossi, the E-Cat reactor and Sweden, it might be interesting to know that Rossi and his claimed invention is quite controversial in Swedish media.

Searching for his name on Sveriges Radio (Swedish Public Radio):
http://sverigesradio.se/sida/sok.aspx?q=andrea+rossi

...gives these results (with my very short translated snippets):

---------------

Blind faith in cold fusion (2014-05-27)

"Andrea Rossi claims his machine works using cold fusion, yet scientists cannot look into the machine or get all test data. Even though this, established Swedish physicists have written positive reports about Rossis machine."

http://sverigesradio.se/sida/avsnitt/375904?programid=412

---------------

Scientists helped suspected con-man to sell miracle machine (2014-05-27)

"I realize he's using us."

http://sverigesradio.se/sida/artikel.aspx?programid=406&arti...

---------------

Negative results were never published (2014-05-28)

"Andrea Rossi's alleged miracle machine, the E-Cat reactor, has been tested at Uppsala University. But no results of the test or the circumstances surrounding it have been published. Even at the [Swedish] Natural History Museum has an important study been made to suggest that Rossi's allegations are not true. Again, nothing have been published."

http://sverigesradio.se/sida/avsnitt/375957?programid=41

---------------

Andrea Rossi paid air plane tickets for Swedish scientists to Italy (2014-05-30)

"The visit resulted in a very positive report"

http://sverigesradio.se/sida/artikel.aspx?programid=406&arti...

---------------

Swedish scientists on paid trip for E-Cat reactor (2014-06-17)

"A believer ignores all arguments. Despite all the warning bells a half-dozen researchers at Uppsala University and the Royal Institute of Technology continue to cooperate with Andrea Rossi to try to find out about his alleged power device email catalyst functions."

All of the links above contains the actual radio episodes, in Swedish only though. There are more articles about him in Swedish media, these are just from our NPR. And please understand that my translated snippets are just meant to give a small taste of the content of the radio episode, you obviously need to listen to it go get the full content. :)

If you don't like a piece of flavor because it's a joke that you don't get or don't find particularly funny, but it doesn't impact your ability to understand or use the software, we're less likely to remove it. We find all our jokes very very funny and cherish each of them dearly.

(If you're committed to removing flavor on grounds of taste, we might be willing to accept changes which replace our objectively very very funny jokes with even better ones.)

Question: has anybody used hosted Phabricator for hosting their git repos (as well as bugs, etc.) ? How would you compare against github and bitbucket. Really seriously considering it because we can move to our own install very easily. But not sure what people think about it. I'm particularly interested in triggers and hooks (e.g. sending an email after commit, posting to bitbucket,etc.).

Indecency isn't a crime in the US, so you couldn't get extradited for it.

If you had committed a crime in Saudi Arabia that is also illegal in the US and the US courts have ruled that the extradition is legal, I don't see what's wrong with being extradited.

>Depends on language; what languages are used in your company?

Python, mostly.

We do a little bit of bash and a fair amount of proprietary internal-only DSL, and a fair bit of non-proprietary DSL like puppet. Maybe a homeopathic amount of C. (I actually got them to let me write something in C the other week so that I could interface with the C api of a mostly closed-source thing we use, rather than using the really hokey and broken python-to-C auto-API-generator thing, and it was totally the highlight of the month, maybe the year.)

But really, python is my problem. The other stuff it's generally acceptable for me to look up, it's just all my reflexes are still perl reflexes, so things that would take me ten minutes in perl end up being half-day projects or better, 'cause I have to look everything up (or because something doesn't quite translate) - I think a good editor could help a lot with the former (the latter, probably, much less so.)

Or US 'contractors' to Iraq.

The US has many citizens that rightly should stand trial for crimes a whole lot more serious than facilitating copyright violation, and none ever will. Reciprocity in situations like these would be very much appreciated and the US is very very reluctant to let any of its citizens be extradited. It happens, but the frequency is dis-proportional to the point of being comical.
This is a visually appealing ball-by-ball scorecard that gives a holistic picture of the game.

As an iOS developer for years, I have never resorted to a runtime hack, subclass and re-implement, or similar trick to work around a framework bug.

Our team rarely shipped a new version of the app concurrent with a .0 release of iOS, so that might be related, but we always found ways to work around issues while respecting the APIs provided.

I understand other products and other developers have had a different experience, but I'm not overly concerned about this particular change.
> But enterprise software is not like that. It is very complex.

That's exactly why SaaS disrupt traditional enterprise on-premises software - too complex (installation, user interface), too expensive upfront.

If the software requires no 3 weeks installation phase, no handbook nor training and costs a fraction of the usual 100k to 1m, like $200/host/month, then there is often a clear winner.
I know at least a few people who seem as smart as Elon. Past a certain point, it's not raw intelligence, but the whole mix.

Ask HN: Which Asset Management/Collaboration Tool do you use?
I'm looking for a tool (SaaS or on-prem/installable) which allows primarily for art creation and managing workflows and the exchange and management of the according asset files (PSDs, 3dsmax etc), e.g. between freelancers and outsourcers and our office hq.

We've come a long way using SCMs and Dropbox like tools for that purpose, and are looking now for something professional.

It should be able to handle big file sizes (eg 1GB per file), should have a user- and permission management system and it should be easy to use and comprehend for non tech savvy artists working remotely.

It's OK to have an installable client as well.

Any pointers are welcome, please propose everything!

The main difference between Elon Musk and 'the rest of us' is that he set himself a bunch of ambitious goals and applies each and every bit of his funds and intellect towards achieving those goals and inspires a large number of very smart people around him to share his dreams.
