What a clever northerner. A fake out where he pretends to want to talk to Trudeau, but really to just shit on the USA and particularly to get a jab in on a presidential candidate he doesn't like. Trying to figure out if it's his english or french side coming out there. How's this, Dear Obama, Canada still has a semblance of capitalism where outcomes can be unequal, for silly reasons such as some worked harder or smarter than others or simply served more people or were uniquely innovative. Clearly this is improper and rude.

Because regardless of skill level or ambition to serve, outcome equality MUST BE supreme. So please let the Canada know that we really need to see more equality. That is, every sports team, every company MUST have equal numbers of everyone of ethnicity and gender. Because there's nothing more equal than for all to share the same misery regardless of their particular interest, ability to serve or strength in character. That and color is the ultimate equality. If you don't have all colors, you don't have equality. Becuase why would we care about content of character, ambition or diversity of thought when clearly skin pigment and genitals decide oneself.
There is a now a growing awareness of the unhealthy level of obsession governments have about citizens communications.

This is in effect the same as the Burr-Feinstein encryption bill, one penalizes users, the other service providers. The bottom line is there is a lot of posturing about privacy but little commitment. All governments without exception are obsessed with your communications and data. It is unsettling and creepy.

I really think some users will have to take 'secure communications' into their own hands depending on the level of need and address metadata exposures. If its remotely life threatening or impacting it would be foolish to depend on any service provider or technology.

You can't win an encryption 'arms race' against state level actors with near endless resources, capabilities and the will. And the law and willingness to arm twist service providers and projects with secret courts, orders, intimidation, harassment.

One can't help feeling current technologies however committed fall way short and are only lulling us into a false sense of privacy and complacency. A solution that does not acknowledge a state actors sheer range of capabilities and clearly articulate how it is addressed is not a solution. Perhaps something that completely randomizes metadata and makes it too expensive to break per user.

DevOps is dead? Well I guess that means I can finally delete my fat repo of Ansible, Terraform, and Packer configs. Using AWS, GCE and others doesn't get rid of DevOps. You're just managing computers in someone else's data center instead of your own.

Yes, this article tries to make it sound like issues with Go are solely due to identity, but that's not the case.

Oh, interesting, not a huge suprise, though guess I wasn't clear, I was talking about auditing the open source stuff, not Facebook.

Basically, crowdfunded audits of open source crypto tech have been done before; I'd be up for helping with this if it made sense, since currently my sec dev skill are not that useful:

WhatsApp is a mobile messaging app. It's a drop-in replacement for SMS. There would be absolutely no reason for anyone to use WhatsApp if they were just another chat app with their own contact discovery that's not based on phone numbers. Their market share would be miniscule.

No one is forcing you to use a messaging app which is using your phone number as an identifier to contact anyone you don't want to see your phone number.
I see it used as such all the time in professional interactions.

Sometimes it's one small thing!

I had a senior member interviewing me not a manager ashe recently quit. at the time I noticed he seemed annoyed and unimpressed. At the time I didn't think much about it but after 3 months working there I realized I made a big mistake.

There had been 5 others before me that lasted less than a year, some less than 6 months. This senior guy was a cranky, controlling, and micromanaged everything I did. he was just a d$@k!

we finally got a manager at 6 months who seemed nice at first so I stayed in hopes of change. after a month he started isolating individuals in the team. he would start with one at a time and would start talking bad about them to everyone in the dept. he would ignore them and isolate them from the team. he then would start pulling work away and only give them boring tasks that was well beyond their pay grade. one-by-one each individual would quit!

After 3 had left I was next in his hit-list. I took bullying and abuse for 6 months, I refused to let him win, and it was brutal. Isolating me from the team by moving me to a corner section of the office. he would argue with me on anything and would pull work away from me constantly. basically I was sitting there with nothing to do, and if I did anything I would get in shit for not asking for approval and if I did he would say no. unfortunately for him I was well liked in the company and that seemed to Pisa him off more.

On my last 2 months I had enough and I would do whatever I wanted regardless of what he said and he didn't know how to handle it! He would say "I told you NO@ and I woild say "I'm tired of sitting there doing nothing all day so if you have a problem with me working fire me!". it was so bad the HR manager asked me why he has treating me like that for 6 months I told him he's a bully and he's a terrible person. the HR guy agreed but said there was nothing he could do but talk to a VP.. nothing happened.

One day, totally bored and miserable, I said to myself "why are you still here?". I left, and I should of left at 3 months. they HR guy threw to a of money at me to stay but I said there isn't enough money in the world to keep me in this environment.

I keep I touch with a few individuals and he started bullying others and one-by-one they left. actually one just asked me for a reference as he was miserable and being isolated.

there are a lot of terrible people out there!
This is awesome! Thanks for sharing your personal story!
Isn't that true of basically every modern company? A term like “cargo cult” is way too strident for a practice which is so widespread – we don't even know whether that's a few executives getting a big payout or a bunch of key lower-level employees being convinced not to bail.

"I dislike Go because I agree with the criticisms of it and I'm afraid I might end up having to maintain code written in it one day"

and:

"I also don't like Go much, but it's not because it challenges my identity"

You are EXACTLY who the article is talking about. One of Go's selling points is maintainability. Go's inherent bias towards maintainability challenges your identity.
While I agree with the premise of the article, I don't think this is why I don't use Go. I don't hate Go, but I also don't think it brings anything new or elegant to the party. Languages like Rust and Elixir are exciting to me. Go just feels like a rerun of everything I've done before.

That's true-ish, although it seems unlikely that most marketing departments who would be putting together a web server page would use "golang" over "Go".

Edit: This would be solved if the language was called "golang," which is precisely the original poster's point.

"All" languages used for the web have those downsides?

This is part of why Go culture scares me a bit. You seem to be overlooking the huge amounts of software written in .NET and on the JVM, none of which suffers from the problems you just outlined: there are great IDEs, decent type systems, good interactive debuggers, strong standard libraries, reasonable package management etc.

This mental blind spot towards the tools and practices that a massive part of the software industry has been using for years is really odd.
I've been using Go for several months and love it.

I don't get who your audience will be - high schoolers? bored people? students researching for a project? people looking to brush up their skills?

The community part sounds like a way to set it apart from YouTube and others, how do you plan on developing that part? Won't you have "drive-by" viewership like YouTube?

On the technical part, I've found that streaming video is pretty expensive on bandwith, how do you plan to scale that? Will you need venture capital to grow?

Which is an (invisible) cost created by big lot sizes. Which has many nasty consequences. It creates scarcity of housing, longer commutes, requires more infrastructure (roads, power lines, drainage, internet, etc). It in turns makes the economy as a whole less efficient, and in consequence less competitive. Salaries are insufficient, etc.
And the was another existing programming language called "Go" and Google being well Google just stomped on that and moved on calling theirs the same thing. It is a nice benefit of being a billion dollar company.

I would burn Go with fire and salt the earth because it's the bloody compiler will refuse to compile my valid code if I have unused imports or variables. It makes programming in Go a terrible experience and that's why I won't touch it.
As it was pointed out the first time youtube-dl was on Hacker News, our user base seems to be split regarding that behavior. When you copy a URL from a playlist, the URL includes both the video id and the playlist id.

Some people want to download the whole playlist when passing a URL from one of the videos (because otherwise it's hard to get an URL that contains just the playlist). Some other people just want to download the video they are currently watching.

That's why we have the --no-playlist option, which you can use and even stick in the configuration file. There's also --yes-playlist to override the configuration file if you need to.

Oh interesting, I haven't heard of green energy credits for energy from wood mass before. On the face of it, it would seem that burning plant matter is definitely better than pulling old plant matter out of the ground and burning it. However the top google hit I found for it is more skeptical:

https://www.iisd.org/gsi/news/us-renewable-energy-tax-credit...

It seems that in order to get the credit, they have to add small amount of diesel? I'll look into that a bit later.

Thanks for sharing this interesting niche of the energy market.

You definitely need to delete your Ansible, Terrafor, and Packer. Typical Linux distro is a lot larger than your project, but it works fine without that, at hundreds of platforms. Did you learn how to achieve such level of flexibility?
The thing that I like about working at Amazon is that they don't push the "Kool-Aid" culture that I sense from Facebook, Google, and Apple. I come to work, I feel proud of what I've done, I go home. That is it. That is what I want out of a job. I don't want to be a "Googler," or be told that I'm "changing the world" as I deploy a new sticker pack of poop emojis to Messenger. I want a job, not a cult.
I am having a hard time recognising any kind of strategy on Yahoo's part. Does anybody even know what the core of their business is? Are they a search engine? Are they some kind of media company? An ad agency? What is that they do? Meyer is seemingly done very little in her four years as CEO. She has shifted things around internally, fired a lot of people and acquired some things. But none of this seems to really go anywhere. The Tumblr acquisition was already a complete bust and has resulted mostly in write-offs. No technology company has ever dug itself out from a hole like this - no company except for Apple, that is, and it took Steve Jobs to do it.
It'd make more sense if they carried it - but advertised their own products heavily around it. At least they would be honest about the "selection" game.

But let's be honest - Amazon devices push more people into Prime, Amazon Instant Prime Video, and their other digital services. Maybe it had something to do with Prime Video not yet being on those devices, but we'd need to see them support Prime on Chromecast or AppleTV and then re-list those products on Amazon.
Thanks for that information. There's no doubt Logstash can do a lot, and it sounds like with the multiple pipeline feature Logstash will make it easier to do what we wanted to do in a single process.

In the past, we've also been burned by many Big Data solutions running out of heap space that adding more processes that relied on tuning JVM parameters again did not appeal to us.
Yep. Giving a total dollar value is meaningless because at most places, the top execs get inundated with stock--millions and millions of dollars worth--and the rank and file get nothing or close to nothing. Would love to see the distribution.
Thank you for your comment. It is spot on.

Like I alluded to in the comment above, this was the problem that originally captivated me about the space.

I was retrieving some documents from court and had to go there in person once, and then 3mo later, to get the job done. Started reading about standards, court data practices in all 50 states and was appaled by the absence of good tools and open standards to solve exactly the problem you mentioned.

I've wanted to be a public interest lawyer my whole life, but when I saw how terrible the tooling/public data infrastructure for it was I thought that if I could take a crack at solving this problem it would, for me, be a more meaningful contribution towards helping to improve the lives of the people those attorneys serve.
Any thoughts on livestreamer vs Youtube-dl
Selling points are not facts, they're just arguments people who are trying to sell something like to make.

Go's users and designers make all sorts of claims about it. As it happens, I've evaluated them and find that I often disagree with them.

For instance, Go projects often don't specify the versions of their dependencies and choose to just clone the code into their own source tree instead - if you're lucky. If you aren't then the project simply depends on whatever is found in the dependencies git master branch. I find this to be poor practice from several perspectives, maintainability amongst them.
I see airbrush being applicable to application of dry materials like face powder or eyeshadow. But application for "wet" items like lipgloss, liquid foundation (especially for dewy finish) or liquid eyeliner indicate tooling for equipment that can handle wet and dry materials and cleaning (or designing for residue elimination to be non-issue) incorporated for the different materials being handled.

I can see users agreeing to purchase a look if that means actually a download of instructions by robot - that wasn't clear previously. In that case I'd plan for diminishing returns in revenue here because like the Nespresso-Keurig-generic coffee pod DRM wars, users will eventually find cracked versions of new looks (from elsewhere online, other users, etc) to use.
Is there a web video autoplay blocker that works like ad blockers?
For example: if you go to this CNN Money article, they have "autoplay" set to "true" for their CNN player:

http://money.cnn.com/2016/04/07/news/economy/us-treasury-shell-companies/index.html

Has anyone created a browser plugin that works like AdBlocker or UBlock to detect video players that are set to autoplay upon pageload, and force autoplay settings to FALSE?

I recognize there are many different video players, but there are many different ad networks as well. So the list would be long of video player code to look for and modify on the fly.

I agree.

I recently created a private cloud infrastructure on Digital Ocean. It would have been easier and faster (and more polished) if I'd gone with AWS, but then I would know how to use AWS, and would not know how to do these things myself.

Why learn about HAProxy, keepalived, tinc, etc when you've got AWS to handle it all for you?

Answer: Because relying on a service to abstract the inner workings for you is a path to the dark side.

No. That is specifically what it means for parliamentary proceedings in the US. Any discussion that's postponed for another time under Robert's Rules of Order is done so with a "motion to table."

(BTW: what's the British counterpart to Robert's Rules?)
This is pretty cool. I can see how such a thing would be amazing for developing countries like India. I daresay you will be able to get lots of interns working for free from India.

Please definitely build a prototype around this and submit it to YC.

Well if your point is that safe or unsafe are always subjective conclusions, then of course I agree with you. If the safe/unsafe determination is being declared as an objective conclusion, then I don't.
> But if the code is open source, we _can_ verify it's security?

No - the code could be "open source" but unreadable. But if it's not open-source there's definitely nothing we can do.

> Heartbleed and Shellshock, the two most significant vulnerabilities found in heavily used open source software, were found by vulnerability testing and not code inspection. So while being open source is a nice-to-have attribute for a piece of software, that's as far as it goes

a) afl-fuzz and the like require access to the source code.

b) Those were the vulnerabilities that made it into production. They tell you nothing about what proportion of potential vulnerabilities were stopped by it being open source.
Won't that require that Google finds some way to get people to actually pay for apps comparable to the rate that IOS users pay for theirs?

- Gradle support for NDK is still work in progress and keeps changing

- Android Studio doesn't support ndk-build based projects

- Android Studio turns my core duo, with 8GB RAM, 512 GB HD into a propeller airplane and Gradle builds take minutes versus seconds in Visual Studio (Ant/ndk-build)

- VS2015 has direct support for mobile cross platform, so I can from the same IDE target Android and WP

- Intelisense is faster and more accurate on Visual Studio than Android Studio

- I am yet to test the debugging support, including visualizers in Android Studio, because I lost my patience to keep on waiting minutes even for "hello world" builds

- Visual Studio C++ team tries to improve the experience and actively asks for feedback, Android Studio team just ignores NDK users.

that's pretty sweet. I'd use a similar thing for Bundler if one existed.
I can really relate to your post. I heard about go at a time when i was angry against python for having no type hinting and started to see people build tools parsing types in code comments, and at the same time being furious against the gigantic bloat that the java enterprise web frameworks had become.

So, as you said, when i looked at go being a smart and small with a modern standard lib, and being modern in a way with its approach to interface programming i thought i would fall in love with it.

Then i saw go didn't have a single generic function for comparing two numbers, because the language wasn't generic enough, and i felt hugely disappointed.

True - but most of those products support or interact with the core apple products. Amazon offers way more things, like toilet paper and cat food. I'm not sure how they're supposed to interact with a Kindle.
Yes, Apple also sells premium accessories for their devices including headphones, cases, backpacks, other hardware accessories and even 3rd party software for their devices. They are not a general purpose store. Amazon is, or at least pretends to be.
Wow I never knew that
