I thought so too but a quick test showed that the code from Capira does indeed work
A D-1587 setup like this won't cost you ~$1k in hardware.

It might save you $200 a year in electricity costs, but if it costs me +$2k, well, yeah. I'm not going to run this setup 10 years.

It does not. At least not any more than any other filesystem in a cloud type service. For items which we deem especially sensitive we will place them in an encrypted disk image which is then stored as a file in dropbox, however it is a very very rare occurrence we deem it necessary to do this. While a compromise at dropbox is certainly a risk, it is reasonably far down on the list of likely events compared to other risks.

We utilize full disk encryption on all of our machines and MDM type services which allow us to brick/erase a device remotely (now dropbox for business has a similar feature which will wipe a remote device if it connects to the server after such a request). We also force on dropbox's 2FA for all users and every access to a file by a user is logged.

Dropbox also gives us the ability to revert to any version of a file in the event a user makes an unwanted modification (a whoops or something like crypto-ransomware malware).

Obviously there are still risks in this type of setup, but most law firms I have seen have far far riskier setups that have far easier vulnerabilities to exploit if they were a target than Dropbox being compromised. (At least in my opinion).

EDIT: Also, I want to amplify that the information security skills and experience present at any major cloud provider (google, aws, dropbox, box, etc.) is in a totally different league than anything I have seen at even the huge MegaBigLawFirms. There are very few firms that take information security as seriously as they should and even those do not have the resources of the aforementioned companies. Essentially I trust google/dropbox to keep their digital stuff secure more than I would trust any law firm on the planet.

There is one exception to this -- which is some sort of sealed search warrant or national security type letter from a government agency. If there is information you are seeking to protect from an exploit in that realm, then they are certainly vulnerable in that area and you (the law firm) need to implement other precautions to address that vulnerability.

I live in a area where Lead based paint is an assumption, and radon is a massive issue. The cost of getting work done is tremendous so I'd rather do it myself.

How can this help me know what work I can DIY and what work is safer to hire out to someone who is an expert. Sure I can pay someone 2x as much to work on my kitchen but what is the relative risk to my health due to lead paint. It'd be nice if I could start a project and have sampling on a daily basis similar to what rad techs or a metric of information on how much lead is in the air as I'm working.
Just as 'simply' as you'd need to register a US trademark in Europe, for example.

Just because you have a mark registered in the US, doesn't mean China (or any other jurisdiction) will magically know about it.

There are solutions and structures in place - proper business practices dictate that you inform yourself and react appropriately.

I for one use Yahoo Finance because it's a nice free choice (not sure if a better alternative exists). Google Finance lags quite a bit (several hours for many mutual funds) and has far fewer plotting features.
Adblockers like Ublock Origin already block that Taboola/Outbrain crap. Sadly Chrome Android doesn't allow for these, so I use Firefox Android, which fully allow extensions, 95% of the time when I'm on mobile.
Oh, I understood your suggestion. I've been doing it on the C thread haha. This was a little tangent that I found interesting given a number of people quit HN over claims of massive downvotes on certain topics for not following the leader. That was weird given my experience was contrary w/ similar, but small, effect. It could affect Show/Apply people in theory if it's true. So, I just wanted to bring some examples to attention of you and others to get feedback on what was going on.

It's been enlightening so far in that I've gotten some clarity. striking and tptacek basically told me two other trends that apply here in general were probably at work instead of the mob hypothesis. Rules it out actually in some cases although not others. So, now I keep that in mind as I evaluate further data.

Overall, I'm impressed by how little data I have on it as it implies good things about the forum's quality. ;)
Idk, QA Automation is growing but that has rapidly replaced TONS of "follow the procedure by hand" type QA specialists. People who knew how to write procedures well and document executing them well are disappearing in droves to 1-2 people who write QA Automation scripts in Selenium or something.

I'm French as well. When I saw the title of this post, I thought it was about how French you sound when you speak English, not how well you can speak French.

The thing is, there are a lot of very educated French people who, when they speak English, have an extremely accentuated French accent. Typically scientists and politicians. It's like they don't make any effort whatsoever or think that the French accent is some kind of honorific mark they should cultivate.

Me, I've always thought the French accent is the worst ever and I try my best to hide it because it makes me feel retarded.
Thanks your advice, kev6168! I will try to get in touch with those two authorities on Monday and maybe they can clear up the leverage we have.

If you look at our website you see that we're using cheap bootstrap, so they are not really cloning our design asset, but the whole product / UX. They add some value for users by providing Chinese translations.

They told us they already have investors, and it seems at least two people are working on this. Unfortunately I was unable to find any info about company registration or the actual investor.

I sincerely hope that we can somehow work with them so we don't have to waste resources in fighting / worrying.

Hmm, guess I need to read more newspapers. I do find though that as time goes on our language tends to use both American and British spellings/meanings seemingly at random, due to the various influences (plus a few Canadianisms).

> I hate to think about all the time we spent trying to optimize the Angular digest cycle...

Yep. I spent a few days last week reimplementing a heavy part of our app in React, specifically because of this problem. "Make everything a component" is a great idea, but does not work so well in real-life Angular 1.5 when you're building a complex tree-like editor. The digest cycles grow longer and longer.

The code reimplemented in React is 30% smaller and 8x faster (with some other tweaks to cut down on the frequency of digest cycles). I'm really enjoying React so far.

I almost spit out my beer at "answered me back in English".

My favorite language story is from when I was studying in eastern France (Strasbourg). I went across the border to the train station in Kehl, Germany, as I reasoned that train tickets inside Germany (I was on my way to Berlin) would be vastly cheaper than trying to buy the same ticket with an origin in Strasbourg.

Anyway, I know a little bit of German, and suddenly I understood why foreign language classes always start you off with directions and tickets and timetables and so on. So I was all set with my basic train vocabulary. We went back and forth and conducted our business. I gave him my American passport at the end, he seamlessly transitioned to some pleasantry in English as we concluded, and I walked away with my train ticket.

Well, as I walked away, I was pondering his lack of surprise that I was American (which should not have been surprising; my crappy German is clearly not a Frenchman's crappy German), and I replayed the conversation in my head. As I got to the "smoking or non-smoking" part, I realized I could not recall the German word (rauchen, for those keeping score at home). Eventually it came to me, and I realized that he had actually said "smoking oder non" (oder being German for "or").. Well, of course, English with a German accent sounds like German to an English speaker...

And I suddenly realized that we had probably conducted virtually all of the transaction in English, and I had no clue. He probably switched to German-accented English as soon as I did a poor job of asking for a 2nd class ticket to Berlin arriving at this time on that date, and I didn't even realize it.

Unless I misunderstand, conversational commerce bots seem to want to solve the problem of the interface between users' natural language and software's logic (i.e., it's an application of NLP).

But I doubt AI will be good enough to do that, and I expect that I'll still have to think about fitting my words to the software's understanding. Why would these bots work better than Siri?

Problem is, we're not providing the Chinese userbase any better solution. They have Chinese translations, whereas we're an English-only website.

Furthermore they are hosted on AliBaba's cloud (from what I was able to see), so it looks like a more professional and IT-affine implementation.
Then you should probably import one -- start with the link in the article. No way the duties will be anywhere near that much.
There is a lot in this post I agree with, but the one thing that grates on me is the appeal to "us" in "why don't we change our culture?" The truth is that the people doing the work very rarely have much say in what their "culture" (i.e. the set of policies, practices, approaches, attitudes) will be. It's dictated by the decisions of managers. Perhaps if all software projects had great leadership then the curve the author illustrates would shift way to the right. I don't know. But what I do know is that aside from a few visible startups not that many large human organizations put their "culture" to a democratic vote. So if a project tanks, I think it's just as fair, and probably more productive to look at the managers and the decisions they made along with subjective notions like "culture."
It's very strange how some people can add or drop accents at will, and others can move away from their home country at a young age and simply NEVER lose their accent.

I work for a company that moved from Paris to California, so we have a large number of native French speakers who still work with us; it's an interesting dynamic.
It's quite strange for me to be arguing this side, as I generally favor a flat consumption/VAT tax, if I believed we could actually cut over to it without just increasing the overall tax financial and compliance burden by keeping today's system and ADDING a high rate VAT. I would also be willing to accept a zero-rate VAT on certain essentials, but wouldn't demand it.

The reason to oppose regressive income taxation IMO is the decreasing marginal utility of money. If you take the view that some amount of taxation is proper and necessary, the question that follows immediately is how to best raise that money. I'd prefer a flat consumption tax (with minimal, if any, exclusions), but if you can't switch wholesale to that system and instead you retain some amount of income-based taxation, that taxation ought not be regressive (IMO) because that double-credits the most advantaged members of society (decreasing marginal utility coupled with decreasing rate of taxation).

I'm also opposed to estate taxes, taxes on dividends and capital gains, etc, and all other forms of multi-level taxation. Ideally, tax the money once, tax it at a level rate for consumption, and minimize the compliance and collection costs and losses.

From the sounds of things there's nothing really when taken orally, though I'm not sure if taking this orally helps with cardiovascular issues.
If this information was available at the start, portions of my comments would have been different. As it is, I don't think it's appropriate to assume the facts you've now presented, as it doesn't make for a good discussion, and it isn't fair to the people involved. As it is, I stand by my earlier comments which referenced what information we know or don't know, since anyone coming with information only from your original comment couldn't know that, and what's more, according to you, the skin color actually wasn't the deciding factor.

I present this not as an argumentative reply to you, but just to clarify my point in my immediately preceding comment in this thread, as it seems to have been polarizing (it fluctuated from -2 to +3 multiple times, and now sits at 0).
Verified, as I had the same idea earlier and have started a userstyle to alert myself when a link points to one of these anti-Adblock sites.

a[href^="sitetwo.com"]::after,
a[href^="sitethree.com"]::after {

Would you say that control of currency was centralized in both the USSR and the US?

Would you also say that there is a degree of central planning in both the US economy, and that of the former USSR?

Would you also say that forced reallocation of resources occurs in the US economy, and occurred in that of the former USSR?
That's fairly personal, down to the "you" level.

What I'm saying is that it doesn't matter if it's a software project, construction project, etc. If the potential amount is non-trivial, it's bad business to commit to a completely unknown amount of spend.

If you can't say that the spend < benefit, you really shouldn't do the work. It's basically speculative investment at that point.

That may be something you personally aren't on the hook for. But, in most cases, there's some option to get an idea. Bids from outside software development shops, calls to companies you partner with, small scale prototype, agreement to spend a fixed amount and re-evaluate, etc.

Funny Story: I was traveling from Portugal back to the U.S. through Charles de Gaulle Airport and my Dad gave me 4 Euros. I went to this little bakery and the man behind the counter asked me what I wanted in French. I mustered up as much throat as I possibly could and said croissant which was apparently good enough for him to go off on this long answer to what I ordered. I looked at him blankly and said "Sorry man, that's the only word I know." He was not amused.

They probably enjoyed the chance to use their english with a native english speaker while appreciating that you initiated the interaction with consideration to them.

Here in Canada we have a french region, and if you walk into a mechanic's shop and say: “Hi! Does anybody speak english here? Can you fix my car?” They will help you, but if you make an attempt like: “Bon Jur. Can you fixé le car for moi?” They will be a lot more happy to accommodate you in English because you tried to bridge the gap. Maybe it's similar!

I'm so happy that a safe language is (very) slowly starting to creep its way into where I normally would have had to use C++.

Kefir culture, which contains both types of microbe, is perfectly happy turning sugar into alcohol into vinegar inside a sealed vessel. If you wanted to stop it, you would need to evacuate the vessel or fill it with an inert gas. If you also had a microbe in there that split water into H2 and O2, you'd have no chance at all at more than about 0.5% alcohol by volume in there. I'm not aware of any existing kefir culture that has such a microbe in it, but once one was adopted it would be near impossible to get rid of it while saving the rest of the culture.

The boiling happens with beer, mostly. With wine, you're usually relying on the yeast that naturally occurs on the surface of the grapes, so if you boiled (or pasteurized) it, there would be no fermentation unless you added additional yeast. That sometimes happens, because some people prefer consistency to authenticity.

Home brewers use fermentation vessels that allow gases to escape through a liquid trap and the whole process is done at positive pressure. You can bet your ass that those vessels are thoroughly sterilized before each use.

We may be talking past each other here.

IE and Edge are much faster when appending nodes first (thus always appending empty nodes) but Chrome, Firefox, and Safari are similar speed regardless of the order.
