The U.S., relative to Europe at least, has family leave policies and child care institutions that are uniquely bad for young families, especially families at the low end of the economic scale. Not that Europe has solved this either. A society that was organized to allow young people to complete their life cycle when they are most fertile would look very different indeed. There's certainly a tradeoff between investing in the human capital of adults vs. investing in the human capital of children. But the main coping method of young Americans is to delay childbirth as long as possible, which becomes a tradeoff between fertility and infertility.

Oh wow, no exaggeration. I stand corrected.
>>Please post comments and questions here. We’ve moved to a Github issue for improved moderation.

No you removed comments because you did not like the comments you were getting... You understand that your policies are almost universally opposed by the nodejs development community, and you are attempting to control the conversation in order to prevent a mass exodus from npm as the default package manager for node, which I believe should happen.

The NodeJS Package management should be maintained and run by the Node Foundation, or other non-profit group/committee, not NPM Inc.
GPG isn't the holy grail. See https://caremad.io/2013/07/packaging-signing-not-holy-grail/

Proxying via a local dependency is a good practice, but that can be set up independently of npm.

The one-off methodology is a poor one. It's popular recently because of how cheap and easy it is to retail such a product. But it's very limiting in what you can do, and those devices are likely to be prone to security issues.

Central management is key. Though I suspect most people would be better off using a central device many of them already have at home (a PC) than buying a custom piece of hardware to be the center of their home network.

Basing everything around your phone isn't a good solution, because it leads to having a half dozen accounts with a half dozen apps that you need to set up on a half dozen devices if you have a family...

But this is all a debate independent of Google's troubles. Between Android@Home and OnHub and Nest, Google's been trying to nail down IoT since before IoT was an expression people used. No sign they're going to get the hang of it any time soon.

It's more subtle than that. People act as if developers are all a clean slate, which isn't true.

developers have personalities with differing values. That super productive developer may just not value the flexibility of the code due to his personality coupled with that developers personal experience.

That developer will absolutely shine in some environments and be abysmal in others since there are absolutely environments where flexibility isn't an overriding concern.

As you get more experience you learn to be more explicit about your decisions, but you'll still have your preferences and your defaults and it takes a certain threshold for you to move away from said preferences and defaults.
"We had one application that did not support encryption natively, everything was sent in the clear, so we ended up setting up a point-to-point VPN between those servers to encrypt data in transit. "

That's basically the hack I used for situations like that, too. I have considered modifying something like tcpcrypt w/ authentication with hooks that force the application to use that. Not entirely sure it's a good idea but might help on legacy stuff. Put the keys and whitelists in there manually. Optionally put it and TCB in a TCP/IP offload card that also provides a performance boost as further justification. What you think?
Services that don't offer an automatic "unpublish" action require you to contact the service in order to remove packages completely, which, moving forward, is exactly what npm will require one to do if you don't realize your mistake within 24 hours.
Exactly. The image specified during registration is the default one.

You can override the image globally in .gitlab-ci.yml or on per-job basis. Full flexibility here :)
But your 'central controller' is your phone's proprietary software. And a wireless central hub isn't always ideal because that central hub (your phone) sometimes leaves the house.

"With npm every dependency gets it's own tree of dependencies, so there's tons of duplication."

That sounds like the missing bit of info.

If that is the primary problem, then the good news is that git actually ought to be able to re-de-dupe that stuff back down; checking it into git may not be as catastrophic as you'd initially think.
iCracked (YC W12) Is Hiring a Lead Full-Stack Engineer and Many More
If you're interested and opinionated, you should read the decision. It's mostly in plain English and the reasoning can be understood by someone who is not a lawyer. It's not long and can be found with Google, probably as a PDF from the Supreme Court site.

It doesn't really open the door to no-limit campaign financing. It says that the government can't put a limit on how much money a person or group of people (like the "Citizens United" nonprofit--hence the name) can spend to promote their OWN opinions.

There is a difference between 1) giving a political candidate $1 million, and 2) spending $1 million to shoot, print, and promote a documentary movie about a political candidate.

#1 is still illegal. And it's hard to imagine a way to limit #2 without giving someone the power to determine which movie (or website, or podcast) is "legal" and which is "illegal" speech about a candidate.

If we can't speak freely each other about candidates, how can we hope to have a valid political process at all?
Thanks.

Optimizing User Experience for Google AdSense Publishers
You would have to get permission from NPM yes. However ten yearz ago you wouldn't be able to it at all, since you would have to hunt down everybody who had a copy of your source code.

If you don't want to be bothered by support requests, you can just ignore them - nobody owes anybody anything but what you have mutually agreed to - offer consulting about the problem to them at exorbitant rates (say 10k/hour, which is worth it for large enough businesses with my-hair-is-on-fire problems) or whatever else you want. If you have your own domain you can use a throw-away email address and just drop all email sent to it.

However the open source licence you published under specified that you gave away a non-revocable, permanent license so of course you can't demand others delete files on their systems.
Then you're just shifting the responsibility of preventing squatting from NPM to GitHub or whoever hosts the Git repo in question. (I don't think GitHub permanently reserves deleted usernames, though I could be wrong.) And if squatting does occur, there is nothing like npm's previous guarantee that replacement packages have a different version number. How is that better?
I'm not the GP but they're not obvious to me, either.

What they feel did not work was that the developer simply did not roll over and give in when a larger company made a demand...

there was 168 Comments before they removed commenting from the Blog.... Of those I counted like 5 that where in support of NPM's action and response.
Zrgiu_ , I'd recommend looking into writing a Node-red node. That way, your work stays yours, and integrates in a wider open source community.

Your work should stay yours, and as current as you choose. You will have to deal with the initial npm politics, but that's better than the IFTTT contract presented...
> About 3200 years ago, two armies clashed at a river crossing near the Baltic Sea. The confrontation can’t be found in any history books—the written word didn’t become common in these parts for another 2000 years

I think they got their math or information wrong, written word not being common for another 2000 years after 3200 years ago would mean that writing didn't become common in Germany until ~800 CE.

Writing not being common in Germany until about 2000 years ago or 1200 years later (than 3200) would be more correct.
Babel seems to be a terrible offender as far as dependencies go. In my node_modules, babel-preset-es2015 takes up 200M - as you've noticed, each individual transformer has its own copy of the core Babel runtime.

And Babel was largely responsible for this whole left-pad fiasco in the first place: about 2/3 of left-pad downloads were through Babel.

The good news is that Node 6.0 is coming out next month, with V8 5.0, which supports 93% of ES6 natively. That means that most of the transformers can go away for server & Chrome code, with the appropriate Babel preset. And the big remaining ones - modules and async/await - are scheduled for Q2 2016, with work on modules already underway as of a couple weeks ago. So within a couple months, we may not need Babel at all anymore.

It is likely they released early because they want additional testing time for the SMP diffs they are about to merge. With 6.0 we may be seeing both fully SMP routing and PF support. As of now, routing and PF are fully giantlocked in the kernel, and can only run on one core. This should greatly speed up routing and filtering performance.

Most of my development is done in my own Lisp dialect, which is quite similar to Common Lisp. I use any of five different methods. (4) is the most interesting, and very useful. Does anyone else use it or something similar?

(1) Just add debug statements near where the bug is happening. These print a string, and the name and value of variables. Printed values in Lisp are human-readable, not just a pointer.

(2) Trace selected functions. This outputs the function name, arguments, and return value on function entry and exit.

(3) Use the virtual machine debugger. I can set breakpoints, display the stack, and trace VM instructions, but it's most useful for printing out disassembled compiled code.

(4) Browse data structures in Firefox. While my Lisp is running, a web browser runs in another thread, and every symbol has its own URL. Data structures are displayed as HTML tables.

(5) Unit tests. I've used these to debug complex algorithms, e.g. for event handling, and type inference.
"Canvas" is a generic term found in the dictionary. IANAL, but I suspect nobody can claim it as a trademark. I found this about it:

> Generic terms are common words or terms, often found in the dictionary, that identify products and services and are not specific to any particular source. It is not possible to register as a trademark a term that is generic for the goods and/or services identified in the application. If a trademark becomes generic, often as a result of improper use, rights in the mark may no longer be enforceable.

So what you're saying is, it would be moral for this guy's murder victims to dox him, but not a reporter? The funny thing with murderers is that they can only really be stopped by third parties.
Are you essentially positing that the only relevant consideration to whether publishing information about someone is ethically defensible is whether or not the subject feels good about having that information revealed? It seems to me there is a material difference -- and a vast one at that -- between "I have done serious investigative work and wish to present evidence that Joe Foobar is a criminal kingpin who can be linked with drug-running and murders" and "I am publishing personal information about Joe Foobar because he said something mean about a group I identify with and I wish to screw with his life."
Thanks for your questions! It's very rewarding to be able to draw on the experiences I've worked so hard to build over a lifetime. To your questions:

- No, it's not my job. However, I do work with fintech and hence with banks and, on occasion, bankers...

- Baker is my first name, actually. Will need to contact Mr. Pelham to see how the first name / last name distinction is reflected in his analyses.

Yes. It was a thing people did for a while to attempt to bootstrap PGP/GPG's web of trust, as you say, but also as a PR sort of thing. Crypto was even more black-arts then than now, and with some of the demonization due to the war with the Clinton administration over ITAR, you heard some of the same stuff you hear now about having something to hide, enabling terrorism, etc. (At the time, the "Four Horsemen of the Infopocalypse" - drug dealers, pornographers, terrorists and kidnappers - were the boogie men; it seems kidnapping is less scary these days, so that one gets left out.) Showing how it worked was good PR, as far as it went; I saw a lot of people get that little kid with a decoder ring look.

It was mostly a cypherpunks thing, but I understand others sympathetic to the idea picked it up. There were quite a few in the Bay Area, ca. 1993-97-ish. Perhaps later.

I recall one entertaining party where proof of identity via government issued paper was forbidden.
I found this interesting because ride-sharing is often characterized as a winner-takes-all market. Most of the insanely high valuations seem to be based on that as well. Juno seems to think there's opportunity to enter this market quite late in the game by focusing on the driver. Their approach to pay drivers just to have the app open is an interesting way to bootstrap a driver base before opening up to customers. It also suggests Juno, like Uber, must have quite deep pockets themselves.
Physical babies take a long time to adapt and form complex connections (http://www.urbanchildinstitute.org/why-0-3/baby-and-brain). There are probably a lot of shortcuts one could take to train it for specific tasks.

In 'The Matrix' they had developed programs that could be uploaded to a physical brain to essentially pre-wire the brain with complex synaptic connections (or so I imagine was the effect). That would be a lot more efficient than waiting 3 years just to get to the point of trimming useless connections. We may have to 'grow' a virtual brain via training to develop the basic platform, but then pre-load it with operations to save time.

It only takes about ten redundant comments (wild guess number) to derail a thread for thousands of would-be participants.

But E4M is not Truecrypt, see the post of

Paul Le Roux stole E4M source from SecurStar, and TrueCrypt programmers "forked" that source code. So Paul Le Roux surely didn't "write" TrueCrypt as such, isn't the current title here on HN inaccurate?

Canvas: Notes for teams of nerds not using FF.
They could respond by linking you to their terms of service, which explicitly gives them the right to distribute anything that you upload.

(You might be able to get around this by pretending that someone else uploaded code that you authored without your permission, implying that they never possessed the right to upload the code in the first place. This is probably illegal, but false DMCA takedowns happen all the time e.g. on Youtube and I've never actually heard of anyone being prosecuted for it (unfortunately).)
In such case you should send them a pull request with a proper .npmignore file which contains whole of .gitignore plus rules to not publish those PNGs
Housing prices aren't what they are because of inflation. They are what they are because of restrictions on creating more housing units. If there was more housing on the market then the price would go down and people would spend less of their money on housing. Urban housing prices have increased faster than overall inflation simply because we're not building enough of it.
1) HA for master components is actually supported already, albeit with some additional work required at cluster setup. See http://kubernetes.io/docs/admin/high-availability/ . There's some ongoing work to automate that, but it's not at the top of our priority list, based on user feedback we've received.

2) It's not clear exactly what multi-zone support you're looking for w.r.t. persistent volumes. Right now pods with attached persistent volumes are scheduled into the zone where the volume exists. There is an undesirable limitation that it's not possible to create these volumes in zones other than where the master exists, and that's something near the top of our priority list to fix soon. Is there anything else you're looking for here?

3) It's not clear to me what you're asking here. Are you referring to federating multiple Kubernetes clusters together? In 1.3 we plan to release some aspects of that (multi-cluster GUI, multi-cluster command line tools, multi-cluster services etc).

Talking the Music Industry with Q Prime's Founding Partners of 32 Years
They do not. I am speaking solely about the usual open source licenses here, which are the vast, vast majority of packages. Your hypothetical limited license is not open source nor free software, so it's out of the scope of my point here.

If you did publish some code on npm with such a license, their TOS covers npm's ability to distribute that code to end-users, who may or may not be allowed to actually run your code, per the license. But then your issue would be with those users, not npm Inc.
If your site breaks because NPM is down, or a package is removed, you have designed your site poorly and you deserve to have your site taken down.
