This article is pretty pointless, as is much on vice. tl;dr:

* people might build nearly identical systems to scam people

* people might get around pin security "if it is stored on the card and not protected"

* people might find problems in sw and not report it

Not of these are directly related to FOSS but for the last point, which allows less experienced hackers to work on a product (compared to black box hacking).

I for one really applaud the FOSS approach taken there - how many bad, overly expensive software projects have we seen delivered by big companies in a closed source world? You deliver crap? Here, let me slap you with this telephone-book-thick printout of problems we found just by sleeping with a dvd of your sw under our pillow - soooo sorry you have to spend the millions of profits you made on fixes.
I've had my credentials breached on a few services, and none have had me do a reset. I had to do it myself.

This is benchmark porn. You can create a fast-performing web app with any of these frameworks, as long as you focus on the right metrics, like “time to interact”.
I think you are generalising my comment quite a bit, it was just a reaction to the poster above.

We are never "done", that's kind of the point I was trying to convey. I completely agree that we should use science to help us deal with our current problems. Once we understand more about our world and ourselves, we will automatically get better at solving them. I'm just against the whole short-term, instant results way of thinking.
> I am not sure I understand your point. How is that different from what I wrote.

Yeah, we are on the same page, it was just a little nit as it seems weird to me to state that future revenues are the "pure" base for valuation when future is informed by current. Just semantics though.

> You will pretty much always find a buyer for financial assets. Unless they are so rotten that no one thinks they are worth what you have them in your books

At the right price you will find a buyer for anything. I was speaking to your point about liquidity, which is not about price of the asset, but about the quantity of interested buyers and the ease of structuring and executing a transaction with a buyer.

Who uses "make uninstall"?

More importantly, who tests it? Most developers using e.g. automake or some other generator don't test this, ever. If you package it, you delegate uninstallation to the package manager.

It's the value of the equity (shares); market cap completely ignores debt.

Market cap is a good way to think about what the total value of a company's stock is, but a leveraged (indebted) company may have some of its "company value" "owned" by bondholders as well. EV is the total value, whereas MC is just the shareholders' part.
No, it's a lot worse than that. Twelve percent of the general public, and that heavily concentrated in the Old South states plus a few conurbations almost entirely east of the Mississippi.

> That said, I do not want trustees to fix my stuff.

As soon as you upload stuff to Hackage, it enters the work-queue for Hackage Trustees. That's because the Hackage Trustees' mission is to make sure that Hackage remains in a healthy state. Which, by the way, wouldn't be needed in the first place, if everyone played voluntarily by what you call "your preferred rules", i.e. the PVP. Luckily, in many cases it's just an oversight, and in thoses cases people are actually grateful for the heads-up.

Consequently, the only way to keep Hackage Trustees from messing with your stuff is to refrain from uploading to Hackage.

> I would fully support a way to get stuff into Stackage that skips Hackage. I think it would reduce a lot of this friction.

That's actually an intriguing idea and to be honest I am surprised that Stackage hasn't implemented something to this end already. After all, Stackage curators keep busy fighting against overly strict version bounds, while Hackage trustees are busy fighting against inaccurately lax version bounds... this is quite yin-and-yang-esque ;-)
AFAIK This is not emulation or virtualization, so as long as Microsoft's implementation of the Linux kernel APIs on top of the Windows kernel is performant, and the X11 implementation is also performant, this should have native performance.

Also considering the state of graphics drivers on GNU/Linux and on Windows, it wouldn't surprise me if for some specific hardware configurations, the “perceived interactive performance“ (responsiveness) of the UI was actually higher on Ubuntu for Windows than on it running on top of the Linux kernel.
It's a common (Austrian) myth that Austrians are risk averse and conservative. It's all about "Gemütlichkeit". I remember some studies though that e.g. the Austrian labour market has greater fluctuations than in some neighboring countries. Also recent studies have shown that income inequality is quite high -- contrary to a common belief. Super rich people have a good time in Austria.
My first thought is: Neat! Languages with different grammars, syntax, and libraries have different expressivities; my first thought is always compiler implementation in OCaml. I would love, for example, to (effortlessly!) dip into OCaml or Haskell while writing a high-performance C++ program, for example.

I am very intrigued by Lia [0] as an example for how languages can be embedded inside of one another for useful effects. See Will Crichton's great blog post for more [1].

However, I am wondering why Python and PHP were chosen. I can't think of a compelling use for having both languages simultaneously. They are both dynamic scripting languages with similar design objectives.

> I personally think pilot-wave theory is about to make a serious comeback in this coming decade.

Which is a shame, because John Bell of Bell's theorem was already a fan back in the 60s. He correctly labelled non-locality as the fundamental problem of QM, where other interpretations just let them gloss over this difficulty by labeling such questions "non-physical".

But realistically, I think information-theoretic formalizations of QM will simply gain more popularity in rather than something like de Broglie-Bohm. There's simply too much anti-realism sentiment in the physics community for it to gain much traction.

Three main reasons I think:

1. It's in the title: "Assuming proper". Unless the company can prove it was always proper, that there are no copies of a old schemes in backups, that there was no ongoing migration of old data (from unsalted hash to bcrypt), and many other situations - it's safer to just reset than assume anything.

2. How deep was the breach: Is there any chance incoming requests have been captured? It doesn't matter how strong the hash cost is, if there's any possibility that the attacker had access to the incoming requests after tls layer is stripped. It may not even be obvious at first - simple sql injections may allow file writes on some complex system - you could escalate from there.

(for the same reason they should also kill all existing sessions, not just change the credentials)

3. The most complex hashing scheme doesn't help if some users have password "password". Let's say the hash is salted and complex enough that it takes 1 second to verify each guess and that you've got a dump of 1M accounts. You're unlikely to crack many, but that's not the problem. Take 3 most common passwords ("password", "123456", "qwerty", or similar) and check each account against them. Even serialized one-at-a-time check will only take a month and you're almost guaranteed to find a few accounts that match. (of course that may not be worth doing in each case - depends on how important gaining the access / accounts are for you)

Be Discovered – Bakit Ba by Carlo Mendez
Not really except on the broadest definition of Linux, where Linux is ~= Unix. Linux is a kernel. GNU is the Unix environment which they are getting to explore, more specifically with the Ubuntu OS mgmt tools.

Now what I don't get, and I'm not trolling here, is why would you want this? Isn't a VM a better option?

I assume people using Windows want to because of the UI, not the kernel. Whereas people generally choose Linux/Gnu/Unix for the kernel and OS environment, not the UI. With Ubuntu on Windows you get part of what people have wanted, and arguable the most important part people want.

Will people really want a Windows kernel, with Ubuntu/GNU OS tools, and Unity? I suspect most would still want the Windows UI.
Usually you compare on a 2D graph, with one axis being decompression speed and the other axis being compression ratio. Sometimes decompression speed is replaced by decompression + compression speed, for round-trip data. Very rarely you only consider compression speed, for "write-many read-seldom" data (like backups).

Normally, any sensible 1D metric would be visualized as isolines in that 2D plane. But the "Weissman score" doesn't even make that much sense, it's a discontinuous, non-monotonic function with singularities right in the middle! It doesn't even make sense from a dimensional analysis perspective… the score will fluctuate wildly based on the units you choose for time and size (minutes? seconds? octets? bits?). There is no conceivable real-world application of the Weissman score. It is just a bit of bad math that appeared on TV once.
I like this framework.

I would term the difference "operating value", the extent to which the entity is valuable because of what it does vs what it owns.

Software companies are interesting because they fall in the middle, somewhat like banks.

Most banks are more in the middle than you might think. BofA for example, is valuable in large part due to its customer relationships and brand.

You're right that a pure holding company with no brand and "operations value" is just the book (accounting) value of its assets.

> While there are solutions, mainly centering on finding a natural foliation, the tension with relativity has not really been resolved, a tension which exists regardless of interpretation.

Exactly, John Bell had it right 50 years ago: non-locality is the problem of QM that needs to be solved, and other interpretations let you simply gloss over the problem without really addressing it. The recent work for finding a natural foliation present in any formalism with a wave function, including Bohmian mechanics, proves every QM shares this problem (or if you think one doesn't, then none of them do for the exact same reasons).

I think it's interesting, but this is a bad submission format for this site. The title looks more like a linkbait or astroturfing or something ...

The guidelines are not very clear about this, but this is the more relevant paragraph. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

> In Submissions

> Please don't do things to make titles stand out, like using uppercase or exclamation points, or adding a parenthetical remark saying how great an article is. It's implicit in submitting something that you think it's important.

Some recommendations:

1) Resubmit this after two or three days, so you don't get any complain about resubmitting too often.

2) Submit a link to the demo ( http://www.kylla.info/app/box_demo.php?winW=911&winH=441 ), not to the home page. The demo is interesting, the home page is boring.

3) The link from the demo to the home page is not easy to see. I know it's there, but it's not obvious. Can you add a link in one of the notes? Something like: "Visit the home page to get more information and the documentation".

4) The title of your old submission was good, but I like more something like "Show HN: NoteSpace: take notes and organize your thought in your browser" (not 100% happy with this neither)

5) I know it's very difficult, but it's a pity that I can't save the notes and really try the demo. Perhaps make another board that is editable by anyone. It will get filled with crap soon, from stupid things to goatse, so you will have to clean it often. Perhaps you can restore it to a safe saved state every 10 minutes. (Perhaps restore each card to a safe saved state if it has not been edited for 10 minutes.)

5) If you allow random people to edit the bottom card in the open board, be careful because the PHP will parse that line. Is that sanitized? Is that safe? Anyway, if someday you tried to sell this to "civilians", you will have to find an easier way to configure the top bar.

I was hoping he was going somewhere much more interesting: how can I reliably detect whether the news I am reading is truthful?

We all have to make that assessment every day if we are at all mindful as news consumers. And we do so in part by examining the source of the news, the same story as presented in other media, and ultimately in how the event is recorded in the history books.

Being able to do this (including transcending the language barrier -- many unique perspectives on current events exist only in certain languages) would greatly improve our ability to evaluate the news. And as we have all learned, the news is what drives us to constructive or destructive action, even to the point of waging war, throughout history.

Glad to hear it was helpful. And don't beat yourself up for, e.g., release frequency. This stuff is hard enough to do when the context supports it.

I agree with you on some people favoring control over value. That's especially true for people whose primary job function is seen as control. Project managers and middle managers especially are often rewarded for the appearance of action, not the quality of the business result. This is part of why I strongly favor approaches where cross-functional teams mostly self-manage the work and other details normally given to project managers.

As to disaster handling, I should be clear that I'm not talking about asking for big changes during a crisis. Instead, there's this window after trauma where people are open to doing something different. Before the pain, nobody has reason to change the status quo. And eventually, they forget. It's sort of like how when people have a really bad hangover, they might say, "I'm not drinking again for a month." In that moment you can say, "Wow, I've been wanting to do that too. Let's try it together."

Good luck with your efforts! I wish I had a general-case solution for you. But my approach has been to find or create contexts where I can get a relatively independent team focused on value delivery. I think current managerial culture is inimical to that, so I expect that's an uphill battle at most places.
