Opening up accounts as Yahoo did seems like a condition of doing business in that market. It seems unrealistic to expect that Apple will be able to maintain their position against the Chinese government for very long. They will either have to conform or leave the market as Google did. I don't follow how Apple can really win that one if the Chinese government chooses to push the issue.

p.s., I'm not defending the Chinese position in any way. If it were my company I would leave the market.

p.p.s., For anyone down-voting it would be helpful to state your argument for doing so. The Apple case is not as clear cut as some of the learned commentary on HN would have it.
And lots of horror stories about trying to get them back out when they shatter or start dissolving.
All Writs is a red herring. Sure the right to not be forced to take on certain paid projects is important, but that isn't the main principle which Apple is defending.

Even if Apple prevails, then the FBI subpoenas technical documentation and the signing key, and gets an independent party to write the code. The signing key would be another legal battle (and at least Apple is well funded unlike Lavabit), but that ultimately comes down to Apple having the only key to a container for which there is a warrant. Do you see this ever being decided in favor of the key holder's non-involvement, especially in such an unsympathetic case?

I agree that javascript will be replaced in time, but that article in no way asserts that javascript is declining in favor of WebAssembly. WebAssembly shows promise, but it nowhere even near ready to begin mass adoption.

I have no issue with javascript fading away over time, that's just not what's happening right now.
There are a lot of possible ways to approach this, such as overlay networks where peers interested in a topic can learn of and publish updates quickly to others (e.g. pubsub).

IPFS needs not be a kitchen sink: it's very easy to layer entirely application-layer overlay networks that do other useful things.
One common reason is that binding to small ports requires root. If you are using a nonstandard port you would typically front that with a load balancer on the standard port. But if you are trying to debug the server itself, you might need to type in [abcd::1234]:8443 or something. This is not a concern for end users, but could be for sysadmins.

You can't put someone in prison because you don't like the way they do business. They have to break laws first. It's more productive to lobby for changes in the law than to say these guys should be in jail.

The responses from this guy are disgusting. Glad I didn't take that job, and I'm sorry to hear about your time there.

I've certainly worked in similar atmospheres. I'm glad you've put it behind you.
Hear, hear.

The fact that IPv6 addresses are so unruly is a blessing in disguise. Use DNS, /etc/hosts, bonjour, .ssh/config, whatever. Use names, stop using addresses directly, even with IPv4.
> It's absolutely unreasonable to ask Apple to take such risk, at great cost, in an area they aren't skilled in or practiced at.

We're not talking about some sort of sophisticated crack here. We're talking about commenting out a couple of lines of code and recompiling the OS. The task Apple is being asked to do is technically very very simple.
I'm not a collectivist, nor do I believe I'm "entitled" to anything, including human rights. I'm simply stating that "I don't support organizations like WSJ"... as you can clearly see, if you read my comment. I don't propose anyone ban them. I simply "don't know why we [as a society] support them", also clearly in my comment. My point, which your political diatribe disallowed you to notice, was that we're fighting awful hard to consume their garbage. Meanwhile, there is plenty of content out there there is free, not because of socialism or entitlement, but for the same reason as blockers became popular... because information is so readily available now that nobody is ready to send their DNA in.
I agree, this is absurd. Ignoring the fact that this conflates ethically questionable behavior with illegal behavior, why are only the heads of CEOs being called for? What about the rank and file within the companies who actually perpetrated the bad behavior? What about people on the outside who colluded with the companies to enable the bad behavior, and potentially profited from it? What about the regulators and politicians who failed to adequately notice and prevent bad behavior, or took kick backs / bribes? What about the shareholders and analysts who profited from and arguably incentivize bad behavior by being incredibly short sighted? What about subcontractors and suppliers who enabled and profited from the behavior?

Yes, I was thinking the same thing: couldn't this be made into say a 500 core 8086? And if so, would this thing then be parallel programmable? I mean.. sort of fascinating.. though probably in an idle sort of way since the speed penalty of using cores that slow would almost definitely wipe out the parallel gain?
Teens need a "hangout"...some place to be themselves, away from adults, with like-minded friends...a place where they are "understood"...

Just because they feel like that, doesn't mean that's what they really need. But if you erased "away from adults" from the above, I might completely agree with you.
I made no comments about the quality of the IPython kernel, just that what the author created was nothing like it.

Apart from that, I'm not sure why you see the need to be so aggressive about your points.
> Breaking changes happen, but not more often than once in three months.

Once every 3 months is too frequent. Imagine curl broke compatibility every 3 months and you had to relearn curl. How terrible! I'm pretty sure you'd use something else after a while.

I'm not saying React should be as stable as curl, but it should be striving to become that. The JavaScript community loves to have these eternally evolving libraries that are never actually stable and that's not good for anyone. You should have a long term plan that says "we still don't know what this library should be, but within 2 years we should have it figured out". In reality it feels like JS libs only become stable after they've been abandoned.

> It seems like it's just trying to incorporate a lot of the latest buzzword technologies without any real consideration why. I get that blockchain, Git, BitTorrent are all powerful but that doesn't mean that mixing them all together into IPFS is going to be useful.

While the IPFS whitepaper and spec does utilize a lot of modern technology terms, it does not mean they were assembled without serious consideration and purpose. What gives you that impression?

All of those pieces have important properties which create the essence of what IPFS is. When you say Blockchain, Git, BitTorrent, I hear: Directed acyclic graphs (like git) with hashed hierarchical checkpoints (like a blockchain or merkle trees) distributed peer to peer (like bit torrent). This is literally what IPFS is, and using those terms is one way to describe it.

I'd just keep your LinkedIn profile up to date with a clear indication that you might have an interesting amount of stock (co-founder, executive, early employee, etc.) and that you're no longer with the company.

When secondary brokers have more buyers than sellers of a particular private stock, they come looking for you - and that's the time when you want to do your selling, not when people are freaking out and you're competing with others actively looking to unload their holdings.
Capital One has a 1.5% cash back on all purchases card. I put everything I can on it, and pay off in full very month on time. Does the prospect of paying only 98.5% of almost every price before your eyes not interest you? If not, then I don't know much what will. Your financial prudence will be rewarded with these residuals if you help the banks get their merchant fees. Over a lifetime, it can add up, and the fraud protection is great peace of mind.
I suspect it's more about mind share in the IT profession rather than IPv6 support by ISPs, as they started to roll out when all new equipment had IPv6 support by default and a subset of customers were asking for it.

In Europe for example, the IT profession has been bombarded with news on how IPv4 was running out, then it ran out, and then all problems because it ran out. Network courses have been teaching IPv6 for a long time, government has issued mandates to use it (and governments are not known to be fast on those issues...), and IT conferences used to talk about it to the point where it's such old news that it is no longer worth talking about.
Well, as long as whoever shows up has the required experience and equipment to solve the situation, great! I guess the fire fighting orgs have medical equipment and training too?

Sometimes human organisation is baffling if you are seeing it from a step further out but makes complete sense when viewed from the inside.

Hmm. Is there a transcript?
The majority never see IPs at all, in which case this is a non-issue. This is an issue for network people and developers.

All the alternatives are either unreliable and slow (bonjour/mDNS) or require manual setup prior to use. Given that machines, networks, routes, etc. are all becoming increasingly ephemeral in the end all you end up with is a DNS, .ssh/config, or hosts file with hundreds or thousands of stale entries for things that existed for five minutes. In some environments there are nice systems for naming things and IP address management but these are hard to set up and maintain and aren't feasible in really heterogenous settings.

I guess Martin Fowler was right: there are two hard things in CS, cache invalidation and naming things. This is naming things.
This old study may only underscore people generally don't measure their diet or pay attention to nutrition in order to avoid preventable conditions of their own fault: balanced, limited caloric intake and essential vitamin sufficiency. Maybe a few readers desire to feel superior for lazy, carbon- and methane-intensive lifestyles, but that's likely only a small minority. There are healthy meat eaters and healthy vegans.

As an anecdotal sample size of 1, I've eliminated meat for many years now and my cholesterol numbers are outstanding... vitamins including B12 are all fine considering the variety of bioavailable sources in my diet. I only take high-quality fish oil, that's it. Works for me, YMMV.
It would be helpful if you described your needs. The app that I think is best may not suit you at all. That said, I've been using Fit Notes on Android for a few weeks. I like it, it's very easy to use.
I don't see any problems with the current IPv6 apart from backward incompatibility with IPv4. If IPv6 is difficult to start with, I would recommend to look at MAC address, Wi-Fi address, Bluetooth address first and then you will understand more about IPv6
This is way cool, I use both atom and platformio, but this makes the install and setup a breeze. This has the potential to displace the existing arduino tool set. If I was the arduino folks, I would be looking to produce a branded version for use with their boards and dump the processing based IDE, which has always been limited.
I see all these brands at the bottom of the page. Does that mean that these brands use this product? or this product integrates with these brands hardware? Did you get (if you're the product's author) the authorization from each brand to reproduce their logo on your homepage or is it legal to do so without the logo owner's authorization ?

Finally what is the value in an new IDE when a lot of them are available already ? Can't you just develop plugins for the most famous of them ? which means less maintenance (build the CLI tools once, and just maintain the plugins).
AC circuit analysis mostly. And it's not a bad fit for Mandelbrot sets and similar either, if you think about how the points in the set behave.

To be fair, if you really aren't capable of understanding how credit cards work, "never use credit cards" is probably the best internalized advice to have.

I still don't get it. My credit card is a device by which my bank gives me some incentive (aeroplan miles, cash back) to put my transactions on a card and then immediately pay them off, instead of performing those directly against my bank account.
So "short sighted" is a metaphor in BrE but an idiom in AmE.
The definition of a derivative work comes into play here. An argument has been made by Illumos who ported the KVM module from Linux that since they did not have to make any changes to Illumos to support KVM, and they only made minor modifications to allow KVM to be loaded into the Illumos kernel that it does not constitute a derived work since it in no way depends on Illumos to function and that there was no changes made to Illumos to support it. Illumos gets to stay as CDDL and KVM remains GPL.

A program that functionally requires libreadline to function is very obviously a derived work in copyright law, calling dlopen() isn't going to save you from that.
Chinese don't care about the global Capitalist class. Chinese care about China. It's the way it should be. South Koreans also don't care about the foreign Capitalist class and neither do the Japanese. The only reason they allow foreign investment is for market development and perhaps to get some corporate know-how and secrets.

Chinese don't need the money, most Chinese can get the loans from the government based on half-lies according to a Chinese friend of mine.

In America the Capitalist class also plays by its own rules. They will steal an idea, pump it with money, then dump it on the public... and walk away with billions. While the product lasts maybe a year or two. Bad CEOs are blamed and the cycle repeats itself. US government steals secrets and gives them to major corporations, can be proven, etc.

Honestly, people are simply rooting for their own team. The rules that they play with always favor some party which has power in whatever country. If they don't the country is corrupt and not prospering.
>(edit/note: I do find it odd that under a Democratic president, the major flows of borrowed cash (debt) have been directed to the big guys, while under a Republican president, they were directed to the little guys. Both were a terrible idea, but it seems backwards for what one would expect.)

Both of them were chiefly monetary initiatives rather than fiscal. The Fed acts pretty much independently of who's President, which explains the "oddness".

- This story claims it's a hoax:

http://en.mediamass.net/people/umberto-eco/deathhoax.html

"On Friday (February 19) the author's reps officially confirmed that Umberto Eco is not dead. “He joins the long list of celebrities who have been victimized by this hoax. He's still alive and well, stop believing what you see on the Internet,” they said."

- Wikipedia reverted the notice of his death, saying it was a false rumor:

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Umberto_Eco&actio...

Edit: Now Wikipedia is saying that he's dead.

Edit2: Now the BBC is reporting his death: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11137855
Are you using React and voicing your concern? Or are you making a guess?

Every three months might be too often for a tool like curl. In case of React, the community seems to be happy with the tradeoff between moving forward and keeping the old code working.

You might want to ask a few people who use React to draw the conclusions. I talk to a lot of people in the React ecosystem, and so far the feedback I heard is that updating React has been the least of their worries, compared to some other libraries in the ecosystem which are far less stable.

Personally, I updated a fairly large (~1000 modules) app from React 0.11, to 0.12, to 0.13. After the ecosystem catches up and libraries release compatible updates (if they need to), it always took less than a day to upgrade. Doesn’t seem like a big price to pay for avoiding stagnation and actually improving the library.

And I wasn’t even using codemods which React team ships (and widely uses internally at Facebook). Codemods just convert your code through most of the API changes automatically.
The issue is people. When we ripped out the back end manual fax process in favor of a better system with OCR, APIs et al we also had to change the interface phone number from ph#1 to ph#2. Changing that alone proved to be a bigger headache than building the technology. Not to mention the education part of people. lol.. I think the movie Idiocracy was onto something ;-)
The difficulty for the consumer is, given that many first-wave hoverboards shipped with counterfeit U.L. labels: how do consumers know that a given model is genuinely U.L tested?
It's the best example we got. The case was overturned (after he spent quite some time in federal prison) not because it was found that he didn't violate the CFAA but because the charges were brought in the wrong jurisdiction.

Again I think you're confusing the fact someone could trick the server into delivering the content for free with WSJ intending to deliver their content to you for free. Since WSJ clearly intends their content to be delivered to only Googlebot for free and to users only if they pay, it is likely a jury would consider this a violation of CFAA.

A web server returning 200 OK is not ipso facto a guarantee the person making the request is not committing a crime. To give a more obvious example, if the request header contains a stolen authorization token. The law does not require the access control be non-trivial to defeat.

I don't like it, and I think the CFAA is seriously problematic, but it is the law and the Feds have been known to enforce it.
You're right about inflation eventually eating away at any fixed tax bracket, but that's still a $5.5 million dollar home, whether it fits the semantic category of "mansion" or not in other ways.

One side benefit of such taxes, is that housing is a positional good and so people will spend more and more just to "keep up with the joneses" and assert status. In theory taxes on such things are amongst the most efficient and have the least negative impact.
Kind of. I mean theoretically you could say the same about a train, but I still see most of the time I spend on a train as wasted even though I don't have to drive the thing.
American business mantra: better to ask for forgiveness after committing the crime, then to ask for permission before. I don't know any major business who does not follow this.
So, you have no problem with the business practice from Sourceforge or Elementary?

Bundling existing software with only minimal own involvement, and either scamming users with malware or by convincing them to pay?

Both Sourceforge and Elementary only produce a tiny amount of the code they sell (be it either a simple shell for a whole OS, or an install wizard for a most complex software).
First step to help solve income inequality
Should everyone pay the same price for the same thing? If someone makes $250K vs someone who makes $30K should they pay the same price for a meal out?

We here at skinnyprice don't think so!

Our new patented pricing innovation uses a person's time as a way to separate out individual's price sensitivity to figure how much of a discount they should get when going out to eat at a restaurant.

Rich people will not take time to play this savings game, day after day, and thus pay full price to go out to eat.

Super price sensitive people will come back, day after day, and play the savings game until finally they get a high enough discount that will allow them to go out to eat.

Our system let's customer's self determine the time they want to spend to get the discount amount they need.

This may only be a fist baby step to help solving income inequality but image if everything you buy was a variable priced depending on much how much time you were willing to put in to get the lowest price...

Skinnyprice has started with restaurants but is partnering with large e-tailers so everything can be have variable discounting allowing those with less money to get larger discounts needed to purchase what they need.
