I'm having trouble finding actively cooled ARM boards that are clocked higher than 2Ghz. I don't even care about the fact that I might need to buy multiple boards and form a cluster but for a cluster of 8 rasperry pi 3 including sd cards, network equipment, etc is more expensive and still far slower than of some cheap AMD CPU like the fx8300 with 8GB RAM, a 320GB hdd, psu and case which can be had for less than $300.

I understand how it could be read as a bit of a partisan attack, particularly around this time of year. In reality though, I think every place has its own dysfunction. It's just that Edmond's particular dysfunction is both important to understanding the story, and very foreign to HN readers, whereas detailing the dysfunctions of other areas might "provide balance" but would not help anyone make sense of this story.

But to provide balance anyway, Edmond is very different than most people's idea of "red area". The population is very highly educated. The public school system is universally loved, and there's even a public university that is excellent. So when you hear someone express their hatred for "big government" it is in the context of empowering a local government that provides actual services that are very competently administrated, not, e.g. a desire to burn everything down.

It is also one of the only semi-urban areas I can think of where minimum wage is definitely a living wage, jobs are available to anyone who wants to work, "corporation" means your next-door neighbor's 10-employee plumbing company, etc. So I think an argument can be made that "red" policies make much more sense there than otherwise expected.

It is really the sort of place that produces a William Buckley [0]. It's a pragmatic, intellectual, moderate branch of conservatism, that is growing concerned about its own extinction. Based on this election, I think it's a pretty justified fear.

You're right. However, in cases where we know the maximum number of items we'd be storing, we can adjust the "bucket size" of each row. Quoting the above wiki link:

> Because the counting Bloom filter table cannot be expanded, the maximal number of keys to be stored simultaneously in the filter must be known in advance. Once the designed capacity of the table is exceeded, the false positive rate will grow rapidly as more keys are inserted.
I feel like this is one of those "faster horse" moments.

You don't need a wildcard cert! Just get certs for each one of your subdomains, even internally.

It looks like some pretty heavy optimizations are needed if you want to be successful in one of those environments (daytime vs nighttime). Visual perception has to be fine-tuned for one of those environments. Perhaps thermal regulation is different too.

So I guess one possible explanation is that too many fine-tunings are required to work well in one environment, to allow the organism to be a good performer in both. So the logical choice is to withdraw from the other environment - just don't participate.

It's amazing that even on HN, the conversation is no longer moored to the past.

Copyright in America has been extended beyond reasonable restriction, driven by the MPAA and RIAA who began chipping away at the net as we knew it, and continue to do so today. All of this at the behest of firms which continue to use the most interesting of accounting techniques to show losses, while simultaneously doing everything in their power to make it harder for people to comfortably and easily access media (starting from the time of CDs to today).

All this on top of the fact that studies show that torrenting movies don't indicate lost sales and actually working as a signal to indicate the popularity of a product.

all this on the forum where it's reasonable to expect people to know the value of the network effect.
Thought about it, but I believe it was the pricing model that made it rather unattractive compared to just running Compute Engines.

Some in the industry, including some CAs (Certificate Authorities), believe that issuing certificates to "malicious" websites should be against the rules of the CA/B Forum, the industry body that sets guidelines for CA behavior.

You are right that some news articles and reports continue to chastise CAs who issue to sites in the style of "gooogle.com". Do not let them trick you - that is only their opinion on the matter. It is NOT against the industry rules to issue those certificates.[1]

What IS against the rules is to issue a certificate for "domain.com" to someone who has not proven ownership of "domain.com". That is the BIG no-no that leads to consequences such as being un-trusted. There are standardized methods for meeting the burden of proof, and every CA uses more or less the same mechanisms to do so.

Let's Encrypt, or any CA, may issue a certificate to "paaypal.com". Even if that site was a Paypal phishing site, a CA is under no obligation to revoke the certificate or prevent that user from getting another certificate.

Some CAs CHOOSE to do this. To some extent, I think it is sensible to try to thwart malicious use. However, the case is often made that CAs and SSL certificates are not meant to "police content", and furthermore, that they are not very effective at doing so.

Flagging a malicious site through a tool like Google's SafeBrowsing is significantly more effective than revoking their SSL certificate.

[1] Except for a more recent stipulation that Microsoft added to their root program. If they request the revocation of a certificate they believe is malicious, the CA is expected to comply. If they dont, they are only at risk of being punished by Microsoft.

I'd prefer not to attribute to malice what could as easily be coincidence.

The biggest factor I see in the rankings of posts on various sites is the time of day in which it is posted and then directly related to that whether or not it received the critical mass early such that it can slingshot out of /new and start building an engaging discussion.
But is that total screen time ? Ie my kids watch less tv than I suspect I did, but it gets replaced with more video games like minecraft.

You're right, my response was a bit confused. I absolutely agree with your original point that we shouldn't lose sight of the goal of challenging horrible opinions just to try and better understand someone.

I was really just pointing out that understanding the reasons why can better lead you to what their opinion really is. That's all. The 'love the sinner' stuff was kind of irrelevant.

It is not the programmer culture, rather the UNIX programmer culture.

The Mac OS programmer culture before Mac OS X was a thing and Windows programmer cultures, including the Xerox PARC ,Lisp Machines and ETHZ ones, have more to do with user culture than what the author is writing about.

I wish GitLab could be a bit lighter weight as well. I'd love to spin up the cheapest VM instance I can find on a cloud provider, pull a Docker container, and have a working GitLab instance up and running, but they "strongly advise against" running GitLab at the amount of memory those cheap VMs usually come with (usually around 512MB) [1].

This is all oriented around metropolitan areas, which are often much more liberal than the surrounding areas. I'm not sure this speaks the region as a whole.

However, you're also understating the threat of violence against trans people[1]. My best friend in the world had their world turned upside down after a murder in Philly[2]—a city with a strong queer community, one of the strongest I've ever seen. I don't think you're truly safe anywhere at the moment as a trans person.

>You have a right to not proclaim your guilt, but you exercise that right by not speaking.

Your point is well received, and I am going to be a little pedantic only because I find the topic so interesting to flush out...

Defendants have an absolute right to plead "Not Guilty" in a court of law to charges against them (e.g. they can't remain silent as to how they plead to the charges). So let me just acknowledge I am being pedantic, because you are referencing testifying which is separate from a defendant's plea which I am referencing. But it is still an open expression of Not Guilty in the Court, but it just doesn't waive ones right to not testify or otherwise open up a defendant for cross-examination. Further, it goes without saying we don't tack on additional charges of perjury/obstruction of justice when a defendant pleads Not Guilty to a crime for which they are later found guilty.

Separately, a Defendant charged with a crime can 100% maintain their right not to testify(right against self-incrimination) with investigators and in the courts...all while simultaneously defending themselves in public without giving up those rights (though those statements could be used in the case).

I think Stewart's speech was somewhat limited more than a typical shareholder/officer/director of a company facing a criminal charge. Normally being in such a corporate capacity still wouldn't trigger securities fraud for public deceleration of innocence against criminal charges. I just think in her case, as someone else mentioned, Stewart the individual is essentially the brand/value of the company. For example, Stewart likely was shareholder/board member in a number of corporations at that time but her public comments only triggered securities charges as to the one corporation synonymous with Martha Stewart when her statements of innocence really were entirely unrelated to the company (it's not like she said don't sell stock in the Martha Stewart company because I am innocent).

You said it best, "this just isn't so clear".
> I work in a big tech company...

This "culture fit" diversity issue is normally describing an issue endemic to the numerous smaller tech companies; if nothing else, big tech companies often have HR departments who have dealing with these kinds of problems as one of their goals, but they also don't have the same default expectation of "these people are my world so I need to not just work well together aoth them but also would have them as my best friends".

Yeah. For starters, there is a whole bunch of toxins that build up when you don't sleep enough. But it can't be the whole story, as why wouldn't we have mechanisms to remove those and keep the brain functioning?

It can't be all about memory retention. There are some fascinating studies on how some groups of neurons repeat the same patterns they did when the organism was awake, presumedly for long-term storage. But why can't storage happen while awake?

There must be a reason why these "brain batch processes" run while most of the brain is shutdown.

If they're not able to make it silently download and execute remotely without me interacting or being aware, I feel they're not doing their jobs as black hats.
It gets much, much harder the later in life you get (and even after retire, you just can't travel/live the way you did when you were young). Some get lucky and can swing remote work while living in another country for a bit, but that's an exception to the rule and isn't always steady.

Also, if a future company didn't understand why you went on this trip, it's likely that they wouldn't fit well with your personality at some other point anyway. So you might be better off not getting sucked into that kind of place anyway.

So go on the trip and mostly worry about tomorrow, tomorrow. Just make sure you have enough money saved that when you get back you'll be able to afford the 1-3 months a job search and potential relocation can take/cost.
I get where you're coming from but I depend on a subdomain for each one of my user signups and we're talking thousands. LE limits us to 100 subdomains on a single cert and would require a restart for each signup. I'll definitely be using LE for other projects but many use cases require wildcards.

> Wait, non-profits (generally seen as organizations doing good by their very definition) cannot lobby but other organizations (with making money as their principal goal) can?

Non-profits (including some tax exempt non-profits) may lobby, but charities are more restricted [0]. Note that charities -- 501(c)(3) organizations -- are not just tax exempt, but donations to them are tax deductible to the donors, which amounts to a public subsidy of donations that increases (due to progressive marginal income tax rates) with the income of the donor.

[0] But they may still lobby...as noted in the IRS page referenced upthread, charities "may engage in some lobbying", but lobbying can't be a "substantial part of its activities".

> 1. Several <1 year tenures - this person gets fired a lot

I disagree. I have several half-year tenures and I was never fired from a job.

I also disagree with 2. If you start with $N and an other company offers you $2N after 1 year there is no chance that your current employee will give you a x2 raise. For example at bigger companies there is a policy for that.
That's some impressive variation from how I remember reading it, though you'll note I said licensing not piracy. If memory serves it was equipment licensing that was the issue - rental of cameras, projectors and such.

I don't know enough of the period to know who's right, but looking at the about page tells me all I need to know about the independence of view: "... representing creators across the spectrum of copyright disciplines. He represents the Copyright Alliance in all copyright and related policy issues in a variety of forums". So choose your preferred flavour of spin?

It's well known Edison was an evil bastard for instance. You've only to read a little, especially on Tesla, to realise that. So there's little doubt that moving to Hollywood and escaping Edison's thugs was a good thing. The fact remains he had the movie industry of the time tied up with patents. I think it was actually Edison who pirated a movie, and ended up putting someone out of business in the process.

One can be gay (and of the white majority) and not broadcast it, whereas when you're not-white, you're foreign. You can speak with a flawless accent, play varsity baseball, drink Bud at the bar and cheer for the home team, but in the eyes of the bigoted, you still aren't anything beyond your skin color.

This is not to discredit what other discriminated people have to undergo, but as someone who is not white, there's an extra burden to living in middle-America.
