"Everyone who is interested in "worse is better" design should really study it (and I mean "worse is better" in the most genuinely approving sense). I don't think I've ever seen a language other than SML and OCaml that sits in such a "sweet spot" on the simplicity-vs-power tradeoff for general-purpose programming"

Didn't think of it that way. Well-put and I totally agree. So odd that one hits that sweet spot in design yet gets almost no uptake. Whatever problems like OP posted need to get solved because interesting and useful things are sure to come from mainstream attention to it. Useful even outside Ocaml given its influences on other languages.

Another thing is the compiler. It's reportedly easy to understand and robust compared to most. I recall reading Esterel's report on DO-178B certifying their code generator written in Ocaml. They had to do source-to-object-code equivalence. They said that, very unusually, the Ocaml toolchain was well-structured to the point they only need minor tweaks to get the job done.

So, great language design plus great implementation equals great opportunity for robust, app development. The concurrency situation is ridiculous, though. Even C-like languages and Haskell have safe concurrency techniques. They need to get on that shit cuz nobody uses single-core boxes anymore unless they're a small shop licensing Oracle. ;)
That is really cute! Do you have anything for when things are not so kosher? Perhaps a pile of poo or a flame.

> Unfortunately, that then means all we can rely on when a request connects to our network is the reputation of the IP and the contents of the request itself.

So, essentially, Cloudflare relies on defense in depth as a security company but as a side effect of this is Tor [and IP anonymity services in general] are affected.

Fair enough but you may want to seriously consider just giving the availability to ignore IP reputation altogether [except during a DDoS] to your customers since it isn't just Tor but also VPNs, etc. that are impacted by this sort of strategy.
Do you actually "require" PGP, or is it just a preference?

I ask because as Bruce Schneier pointed out, his email security's only as good as that of the people he messages. With so many people using gmail, outlook, yahoo, etc., striving for total privacy is expensive.

Thus, I politely wonder whether you've set unrealistic expectations.

Thesis Hatement: Getting a literature Ph.D (2013)
That's a very excellent point about other critical participants.

I appreciate the additional information! I didn't mean to sound like I thought that people die all the time in airplane crashes, merely that the median mistake is way less likely to affect a passenger, which is a major criteria for deciding to punish in other professions. Every mistake a lawyer or doctor makes can hurt clients or patients, respectively, whereas for most mistakes a pilot makes, no one will even know they made it (except if they self report, which they do a lot as you pointed out). And then I added in the ill-advised part about dying, by which I was really trying to communicate that the really bad outcomes are so bad that punishment is the last thing on people's minds.

Y Combinator Acquiring Sequoia Capital
Ask HN: What cheap options do I have for servers/VMs WITH private network?
Hello HN,

I would like to be able to deploy CoreOS+Kubernetes on a cluster of (at least 3-4) VMs/servers, with the ability to grow and scale out the cluster later.
The budget of the startup for the first few months is 50€ / month.

For my Kubernetes cluster, I need to have on each server not only a public IP but a private IP too,in order to be able to run on top of the private network an overlay network like Flannel (which by the way do not support IPv6 (yet) so no need to suggest IPv6).

/!\ I have the constraint of NOT using an american service like Amazon AWS or Google Cloud Platform (or Linode, Digital Ocean, ...) , because of the Patriot Act and because of the data and privacy laws in Europe

OVH do not have yet private network for their VMs (but I heard their private network "vRack" offer is coming soon to their PublicCloud VMs).
And they only offer private network with their professional line which start at 60€/month, so 3 of them ~200€ per month >> too expensive.

I know Online.net/Scaleway offers private network on their Baremetal servers, and running at the beginning 3-4 x C2s would allow me to keep the cost under 50 bucks (which is my goal for the first few months). However, their baremetal offering is based on Avotron CPUs, which I would prefer to avoid, because what I develop runs much better on Xeon CPUs.
They offer private network with servers starting at 30€/month, so 3 of them ~100€/month, still too expensive for the startup I work with.

I know I could just order a dedicated server, install a virtualization solution like Proxmox/Openstack on top of it, and then run within few NATed VMs, but I really would prefer to avoid that because it's not scalable at all, not HA at all, and it calls for a disaster ;)

As such, I don't know of any European provider offering an affordable solution for several servers/VM with a private network.

Do you ?

Best regards,
Y

San Francisco/ London/ Sydney | TokBox | JavaScript Engineers, BizDev Managers in FinTech and Healthcare

https://tokbox.com/

TokBox does embedded communications powered by WebRTC. We make it easy for companies and developers to embed real-time video into their applications and websites. We build a platform and SDKs, and have great clients from individual developers to massive players in tech, entertainment, education, and many other industries (customers we can shout about from the rooftops include Chegg, Minerva Project, esurance, Major League Baseball, Double Robotics, and Fox Sports - but there are others we may be able to talk about behind closed doors :D). We've been doing real-time communications for over 8 years. We were acquired by Telefonica 3 years ago. It hasn't changed the culture much, and has helped us reach more customers around the world. I'd say it's the best of both the start up and corporate worlds rolled into one.

The product is the leader in the market, and the space is heating up which is exciting. But the people make this place where I work. It's an awesome group of 70 or so people- nice, smart, skilled. We are laid back and have a sense of humor. Good salary, flexible, and great benefits!

We've hired a ton in 2015 and are continuing to hire in 2016. We're looking a JavaScript engineer in Sydney (possibly SF?). For business development, we're looking for people with strong experience in either fintech or healthcare to join us in San Francisco or London.

Yes, but Tor flips through IP addresses regularly so you'd get challenged every few minutes.

Similarly, if you block cookies/supercookies/etc to avoid being tracked ... you'll be challenged every view.

Anyway, if you contribute to GitLab and apply we'll try to make it work, even if you got only a few contributions.

I'm looking for my next role, hopefully within an existing team of developers where I can be exposed to new technologies and learn more advanced concepts.
It can be all of the above, plus government employees.

Does TracPhone really save you that much? I have a 4 line $150/month plan with T-Mobile that gives each line 10GB/data/month, and split it with 3 other people. My cost for my line is only $37/month, and I use all of that data.
It is exactly the same because I quoted them from the WSJ article.

And to give you more insights on this matter, I shall use my response from another reply: Honesty and integrity has always been part of the China's cultural tradition and it was only recently added into list of "socialist core values". It is reflective of the general consensus of population on the core characteristics of a Chinese person, and not related to the Chinese government specifically. Hence there is nothing wrong with discouraging spreading of rumours (as NH now correctly named the title of this submission).

> CloudFlare is treating Tor traffic like any other traffic

I don't see this in any practical fashion. I can visit a CloudFlare hosted site from the regular internet for hours (even scrape automatically) with no problems; the first time I hit the same site through Tor, it gets a double or triple capchca.

Perhaps it should be a blacklist instead of a whitelist. Defaults matter.

Is there any chance that any of the company's directors will see jail time over this?
It's another dumb April Fool's joke.
I understand what CloudFlare is saying but I still think that the benefits of allowing legitimate TOR users access websites freely (without cumbersome captchas) outweighs the troubles malicious users might cause. Public computers such as in Libraries are also often used to do reprehensible things, but still, we understand the benefits of having them.

It is also worrying that CloudFlare has this much power. One of the greatest things about the internet is the openness of the platform and the non existence of gate keepers.
