They're willing to work for less because in their local economy, the pay is actually good to great.

This destabilizes the local economy, creating gentrified districts or entire cities(See: SF) where only the privileged laborers for a foreign economy can afford to live. It will also lead to a sharp increase in luxury good prices due to new demand, driving the bar for middle-class living out of reach for local workers. The skilled workers hired by the foreign economy become a brain drain - the government has invested resources into their education, but no one in the local economy can afford them, thus they'll never create goods for it to improve local technology levels.

Helping people is hard.
I'm not quite sure what you mean. Being able to "express the program" (which I take to mean a human writes the program) is independent of being able to statically verify what it does.

I agree with Meric - it's mostly about fighting the inner Deamons. At first one deamon feeds you with doubt: "oh, you are such a pathetic piece of shit, you're a bad programmer, bad worker, you don't know enough", and then, when you want to change, another deamon: "oh you can't change, you are weak, you are too stupid" and "you have the mortgage, wife, your children's education". And then you start to hate yourself and have suicidal thoughts because the deamons make your life miserable. Meric is right in that you really don't have to do anything or be anything. You are not your work, and you are not your family. You can divorce, change jobs, change places, and you are allowed to fail.

Most importantly: you are the most precious person to yourself, love this guy.

Try maybe to realise that your existencial fears come from all past failures and dangerous situations, your limbic system just attacks you with the scarry visions, because this is what it evolved for: "see the tiger, recognize threat, run!" You could then do it like Zen buddhists: "I see the feeling coming, I look at it, I observe it, I know where it comes from, and I gracefully let it go".

AWS did that for me. They sent an email saying that my AWS password was the same as one found in a breech, so they reset my password proactively.

"Hello,

At Amazon we take your security and privacy very seriously. As part of our routine monitoring, we discovered a list of email addresses and passwords posted online. While the list was not Amazon-related, we know that many customers reuse their passwords on multiple websites. Since we believe your email addresses and passwords were on the list, we have assigned a temporary password to your Amazon.com account out of an abundance of caution."

Ask HN: IoT - How to start with a ** simple http post ?
I developped something and the result is, that i can post an object to a url ( that is used in a another webapplication for now)

Now someone else asked me to convert it to an IoT application, which shouldn't be to hard ( i thought). But i don't see any "winning" platform, every week there pops up something new.

It's frustrating how something so simple ( a http post ) is so unclear ( which platform, ..)

So how do i start, do i have to integrate them all ? It seems to be a big mess for now.

Has anyone started with IoT? Where did you start and what did you choose ( and why)

> "I would also like to take time that I found the FreeNAS community completely horrible. They're focused solely on people setting up like HIPPA compliant scientific data, or something. It's ZFS for everything. Backups to USB drives are stupid...."

In fairness to the FreeNAS community, USB drives often aren't a good backup solution:

-> USB thumb drives break all the time. They're terrible choice for any long term storage plan. So you're better off with a HDD / SSD

-> Keeping a USB device inserted all the time means the backup is permanently accessible. This is great for convenience but terrible for a backup as malware (eg ransomware) could access and write to your backup. And even if your backup isn't mounted, it could still be subject to any other physical disaster that knocks out your main archive of data (eg flooding). Backups should always be kept separate - ideally offsite.

-> So now you've got a removable HDD that you need to connect and disconnect frequently. You better buy something reasonably rugged because cheaper drives might fail due to frequent manhandling. Which means you're no longer looking at a budget device.

-> Finally, USB backup solutions cannot be automated. So there's always the risk that someone would let their backups grow out of date. If not out of forgetfulness then just out of plain laziness (eg "I'm too busy to do a backup right now, I'll do it 'tomorrow'").

So while USB storage can be workable as a backup solution, there are a lot of caveats that would invalidate the whole point of a backup if one isn't careful.

The Segment AWS Stack
After a quick glance, first thing that strikes me is using docker for measuring network bound application performance. Across different versions docker handles networking differently and by default it may have quite significant impact on your results, good example comes from percona guys https://www.percona.com/blog/2016/02/05/measuring-docker-cpu...

The new "rebase -x" seems really useful. It runs a test script on all patches in the history, making it useful for getting a bunch of patches tested for merging at once.

This makes it easier to not have broken commits (e.g. ones that don't build) in master, which in turn makes git bisect more useful.

What is Yahoo doing in mobile? What does it mean that "the team joined Yahoo's mobile unit?"
This adds a whole new dimension to 'Intel Inside'. It says exactly what anyone needs to know.

If it's for enterprise features as 'innocently' suggested that those who do not need or want this feature should be able to put it off simply without drama, debate or discussion.

Its not surprising that both AMD and ARM have it. This is an orchestrated effort signifying the win of paranoia and security over privacy in the western world.

This war is being fought on too many fronts by well resourced and paranoid security agencies with all the tools to influence and the only defense would be individuals and our sense of right and wrong. But it seems individuals have been completely disempowered and reduced to survival mode and are not in a position to stand up for the right thing or even talk about it.

If 'moral' individuals can so easily be quietened in well off economies then one wonders what happens in other economies where basic survival is a day to day fight. Who will fight the privacy war? The silence is deafening. It seems all the activism and racket from media, academics, NGOs and human rights organizations only come into play when a western political or strategic objective needs to be met.

There are many who believe that by working with and supporting security agencies they are somehow in the forefront of a nebulous fight of survival and freedom in a dark world. This 'dark world' is a self created and self serving fantasy and comedy for grown, well adjusted and well read individuals to fall for that push humanity into a negative space.

It can be taken for granted unless conclusively proved otherwise with the burden of evidence swaying the other way that any technology coming out of the USA and Europe is compromised completely and the fight for privacy here has been lost.
Dharmesh Shah Speaking Lessons Learned at Hubspot at BoS Conference
I disagree. In my case my bias towards products I have bought before (and that were good) is much stronger than brand name recognition. Therefore if I didn't already buy products from their brand anyway then I probably won't in future either.

But maybe we are talking about different areas of daily life or I am grossly underestimating the power of ads on me. So feel free to present examples or evidence to the contrary.

Edit: There is also of course the large fraction of ads that simply cannot influence me in any way, because I simply don't buy products from those categories (lotteries, terrible AAA games, etc.).
I can't tell you to just have faith in Apple. Obviously, given the route they've chosen with Siri there might be some problems ahead privacy-wise. I for my part, will stick to OS X for the time being but if the time came Apple's OS was not suitable for me anymore I'd switch to Linux and I suggest you take a second look as well.

In terms of UI there are so many options for Linux that there almost certainly is one that suits your needs.

Development of non-Windows software under Windows despite all the improvements in most recent versions at times still is a pain-in-the-ass: From an inferior CLI (compared with those available on UNIX and UNIX-like operating systems) to missing development tools and all sorts of Windows-specific work-arounds required to get Rails or Node.js working, let alone run actual apps.

It really doesn't matter how many bits, or what cipher they used. The DRM problem is fundamentally broken:

1. Hand the ciphertext to the opponent.

2. Hand the decryption algorithm to the opponent, embedded in a software or hardware device.

3. Hand the key to the opponent, possibly embedded in the hardware.

4. Ask your opponent to decrypt the ciphertext, view the plaintext, and then kindly not copy the plaintext in any other way.

Thank you very much for this detailed alternative. Echoing other commenters, I chose the Adafruit Qualia kit (not even buying the screen and driver board discrete and separate from Adafruit) as an exercise in known, commercially available components.

The problems with bitflip on consumer workstations is greatly overstated by some. The single biggest cause of crashes is, and always will be, the end user themselves. Or PEBKAC[1] as some like to call it.

While reducing bitflip on all devices would be a nice step forward for consumer electronics, pragmatically I have to agree with you that it would have negligible impact in the real world. Those that need it generally already pay for it, and those that don't already find countless other and more frequent ways of breaking their machines.

Increasing I find storytelling in journalism to be less and less tolerable. Don't get me wrong, there is absolutely a place for long form non-fiction. If this were titled in such a way that it were to be a story and not a fact-piece I would probably have less of a problem with it; I could have filed it away in a to-read-later bookmark.

But when the title elicits that there is information to be had; I want that information, and nothing else.

Yup. It's a good thing that we live in a universe where companies and all their employees are completely trust-worthy, and will flat-out refuse to do something illegal if asked (or incentivised) by others.

University student busted over cheat app targeting popular smartphone game
Do you not understand the problem here? The problem isn't detecting data corruption in storage, which parity checking also helps with. The problem is detecting data corruption in memory. ECC only matters after irrecoverable data loss _in memory_ has occurred. Without ECC the system will continue to operate; with ECC the system will halt without writing data at all, or correct it before storage even comes into play.

Writing corrupt data once or writing it a thousand times redundantly with parity data looks exactly the same, if it's allowed to happen. It's a valid write of invalid data. Either way, the data you have on your cheap laptop drive or your six-figure storage array is corrupt. This is why the ancestor commenter is correct about the storage technology being irrelevant to the choice to use or not use ECC.
