> it really is up to them to work on whatever they want to work on.

Sure, and it really is up to me to keep bitching :)

Besides, the contradiction here is that they are not all volunteers: M:Tier employs some of them exactly to do that job. So, they don't want to do it, but they'll do it if the price is right? Why can't this pricing be done transparently through OpenBSD, rather than some obscure third-party company?

If the problem is funding, why can't they do like RedHat or Oracle, who ask for money to provide automated updates? Oh yeah they do, but through m:tier for some sort of reason (tax? street rep? We can but speculate).

> just updating from source code really isn't that big of a deal for most people.

It's enough to keep the m:tier service running and people like me bitching, so clearly for a lot of people it is. It's enough that every other linux distro out there does it. Denying it over and over won't change that.
Not knowing the practicalities and details of how either one works, and talking in general, I don't see how binaries would make things not-reproducible. One can take a hash of firmware blob just as well as a hash of a source file.
It is a pretty good comparison - I implemented a fast GOL code in Python using FFT-based kernel convolution a few years back

I think this may be exactly what the title suggests: a fixed point operator.
How does one reproduce a .c file? By copying the file. Either way, you know the bits of both the .c and the .so have not been tampered with because you can verify their hashes. Again, it's a philosophical distinction, not a technical one.
So, Nix refers to every blob that gets built using an MD5. I should think it would be pretty easy to tell if you have the same binary that somebody else does. And if you can walk a tree of MD5's, you should be able to assert that system A is configured the same as system B.
I'm familiar with the term "register banking" is this the same as SMT? i.e if a functional unit is free I can execute another instruction there that would otherwise be waiting?

And how do you know the source code hasn't been tampered with?

The same way: cryptographic signatures and checksums.
So Gimp can run on a device with no mouse, just a touchscreen? That is news to me. How could google make that possible?

Oh, maybe I'm not getting it. You want to run all the linux apps, but know that it's impossible?
Consider that to verify these ID's they would need bi-lateral agreements AND api access to each issuing authority for the cards to lookup up the card to verify it against the "real" data. Unlikely they have achieved that given governments are not in the business of offering this service to the market these days.

The question becomes, who takes on the liability for the identity asserted by the user who has presented the card? They could compare it to all previous images of the card, but again, was that original?

All eID solutions have a bootstrapping problem related to the "fons honoram" that creates the legitimate "original."

The use cases for ID are all law enforcement related, and the integrity of these processes does not withstand even basic scrutiny.

What is the problem they need to solve? Limited liability broker for proof of legal identity over a communications channel.

Here are the things that matter:

- "liability"
- "broker"
- "proof"
- "legal"
- "identity"

Here is what other companies in that space do:

"ah takez teh picturez of teh cardz and ah sendz to tehm."

This company may have solved these other problems. If they have, I would be yelling it from the rooftops because the technology doesn't matter, they would literally have been given the right to print money.
Gah, I'm one of those people. Maybe that's why I don't have any money...
Flowers for Algernon, by Daniel Keyes. This is easily the most moved I have been by a book that was equal parts a theory of intelligence and equal parts a realization of how important of an ingredient intelligence is to enable one to be aware of the fact of being 'alive', to have been given a variable amount of intelligence to process this fact for the next 80 years or so and that this variability in intelligence influences how that turns out.

It is not that Netflix is being access, but what on Netflix is being accessed.

Netflix does not publish viewership information. But a large ISP could run DPI on Netflix traffic to determine what content is being viewed. And since many ISPs have their own TV product, they would be really interested in that information themselves.

But if Netflix streams at TLSed, then good luck figuring out Archer from The Lust of the Dead.

Can't trust the source either, if you're worried about it being tampered with right? At some point you have to trust something, likely from a central location.. either a checksum, blob, source, or etc.

There are actually valid driver's licenses in the US without holograms. They are usually temporary IDs valid for 3 months or so.

"From the outside, package management has always seemed to me like a huge mess."

Compared to what?! There's no OS that has historically had better (or even close to as good) package management as Linux, either in the form of apt-get/dpkg or yum/RPM. Nix is probably better, on a couple of dimensions, but to suggest it was a mess before...well, I just wonder what you could be comparing to that would be better?

> A public company like Walmart, there's some people doing some math here.

Translation: "I can't see how this deal makes sense but WalMart is a huge company so it has to make sense even if to me it doesn't".

By that logic no big company would ever fail or screw up. Every time there's a huge acquisition there are some people here making this fallacious argument or a variation of it. There are always people "doing some math" inside these companies, that doesn't mean that the success of any given strategy is a given.
Android OEMs love it when people keep blaming Google for phones not being updated and as long as this happens this issue will never be addressed.

Do you know how open source works? Google has no control over OEM phones or the carrier approval process. Period!

The only reason OEM Windows phones can be upgraded is that OEMs agree to that level of control by Microsoft. Have you ever noticed their are few Windows phone OEMs? LOL Google could try to assert this kind of control on OEMs but Samsung would bail as soon as possible for sure. They would fork AOSP or move to their own OS.
That might finally explain an experience I had when I was about 6 years old. My room was on the third floor and one night I heard a loud buzzing sound and my room was illuminated by bright, blue-white light. I couldn't actually see what was happening from my bed but I could tell from the orientation of the shadows in my room and the sound it made that it was traveling down the street past my house.

Completely scared the crap out of me at the time. I thought someone was being abducted by aliens.

Excellent point. I have a friend of a friend who needed Hep C treatment. In the US, the twelve week course of drugs costs ~$70K USD. Getting them to India, it only cost ~$6000 ($1500 for the drug, the rest was food/hotel/transport), and they stayed in a resort while going through the treatment.
Ball lightning is one of my earliest memories as a child. I was in the basement in our farmhouse when it came in through our window during a storm and "popped" next to me. My mother also remembers this experience. I don't remember if the window was open or not (we didn't have air conditioning down there - I think the storm was just starting). No damage. But it freaked us out and we went back upstairs in a hurry.
Zoho is pretty good and a serious company, but I've had some trouble with them a few months ago (they were dealing with severe flooding) and it was on a really bad timing for me (I was expecting several critical emails).

After evaluating the alternatives, I'm still with them (both Google and Microsoft were too expensive or didn't support what I expected), I only wish they'd been more upfront with their issues. They did write a blog post later, and I think they've learned:

I love the idea of NixOS, but overall i think i need to wait for it to be a bit more user friendly. The number of times i was completely perplexed when i tried to use this as my home server was.. well, numerous.

Awesome idea, and the rollbacks were great, but i kept having to write my own packages and it was all a bit too confusing to do that constantly.

The iPhone 5, introduced in 2012, is getting iOS 10, which means security updates into 2015. That's a five-year span, which is much longer than the average person uses their iPhone 5.

iOS 9 supports the iPhone 4S and the iPad 2, which again is a five-year span (2011 to 2016).

I have devices that are that old; the iPad 3 I have just prompted me to update to the latest 9.3 update, and it's so slow running newer apps that I gave it to my toddler to play games on instead.

So I agree, three years is good, four years is better, but Apple is already at five years and has been for a while now.
Did somebody the same before us or not?
Hi! My name is Alina and we've made our 1st client-server mobile application (native iOS&Android apps) by the team

- without experience/skills

- without money or salary

- working on evenings, nights & weekends

- never seen each over, 100% remote and even without video before release

- open to public: from the 1st day we write in social network all what was happening with us.

So, did somebody the same before us or not? Many people say that we do impossible things and remote teams can't exist.

Our story already can be exciting and sometimes dramatic scenario, so where we could start our blog and tell how we're growing from a training project to the startup?

Please wish me good luck, sometimes I don't know, what to do, because I've never seen similar examples of doing business.
Show HN: The Y combinator running in the browser
> Suddenly, what does that mean when your team only ships 5 arbitrary points?

In my experience, it means some developers failed to game the system that particular time.

But you can be sure there were many other problematic moments in previous sprints, but the developer could hack together an ugly mess of a code to avoid the shame of failing in front of everyone in a meeting, and dragging the team's points down.

Because the unwritten thing about points is that they are used to shame people. In public. Sometimes not explicitly, but the feeling is there. It's always there.
Or if you can't pay the 5$/month, you can get a free Zoho mail account with custom domain and connect Gmail to it.
That doesn't help. If you have n people you need to allow n tasks in progress. The problem is one person being on the same task for 6 months.
I understand, but guix works well enough, and I don't want to learn another PL just to do package managemnt. Then again, I guess that's why people use nix instead of guix.
If the service won't be responsible for incorrectly validating the ID, what's the point? Seems like you'd be paying for nothing, really.
As far as I know, this is the first time one can experiment the Y combinator in the browser in a live an interactive environment.

Amazon turned a "small" profit just the other day. Overall I think it's still fair to categorize it as a money losing venture (so far).
Actually, I think they use the standard ld.so... it's just that for every executable, the RPATH in the header of the executable is set to a list of directories where the libraries it was built against can be found. ld.so uses the RPATH to find libraries by default.

I know I'll get the down votes, but really, if you want to carry water for the Democratic party and Hillary Clinton, you'll have to try better than that. It's called shooting the messenger, and the message here is that corruption gets found out. Hate Donald Trump? Fine, but that doesn't make anyone who dares share inconvenient truths for his opponents wrong because of some contrived argument from final consequences.

Perhaps it's about expecting to have program locality?

I.e. you download a zip file, you unpack it into a directory, and here is your entire program. Right there, in that directory, not splattered around the filesystem by the package manager.

That's the way it's done on Windows, anyway.

That doesn't make sense. A reproducible build means that a build done in two different places results in the same binary. It has nothing to do with whether the vendor distributes binaries (with optional source) or source alone. The binary is what matters. i.g., if I build this package myself, will it result in the exact same binary that I download from the vendor?

Binaries can be signed to prove that the chain of trust is unbroken between the vendor (who maybe you trust enough to run their software on your systems) and you. In the case of a system with reproducible builds, that signature also says, "if you were to build this yourself, you'd end up with the same binary I am sending you."

Edit: I am beginning to realize that when davexunit says "pre-compiled binaries" they are not talking about an OS vendor (like Guix) distributing a binary package (with source available). They are talking about binary blobs provided by third parties, and in a form that is not reproducible, such as an nvidia driver kernel blob. This has led to me assuming davexunit is nuts, but apparently it is just that neither of us has been speaking very clearly to each other, and thus we've seemingly been talking past each other.

Wrong. See my other post. Google provides OTA patches for manual installation.

I agree that the changes are likely not extremely invasive, and I would hesitate to call them "hacks". OTOH, it does make Nixos fundamentally different from other (u)nix systems. They are basically saying it's time to hard-fork the (u)nix philosophy about how dynamic linking is done. They might be right.

It's a very interesting approach, and I want to understand it in detail. I haven't had the time to bring up a Nixos system yet, though.

It doesn't need to be compared to anything to be called a mess. dpkg/rpm have been widely useful, but package and dependency management is still a PITA.
Well first, I will concede that although I used 'many people' earlier in the post, I did write 'most people' in that sentence, which was an accident. I'll stick with 'many people' to refrain from quantifying it.

Secondly, my extrapolation came from the daily volume of trade on the exchanges, from what I see on Coinmarket cap and other sources

http://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin/#markets

As of time of writing, Ethereum/Bitcoin pair is 20% of bitcoin trade volume. Where Ethereum Classic/Bitcoin pair is another 6.5% of bitcoin trade volume.

Feel free to calculate all of the pairs to see which percent is national currency pairs. This is useful if I was here to defend the "most" assertation, but the point I intended to make stands. Altcoins are fast, more practical to move to exchanges, many people use them.

And finally, 'many people' aren't trading in and out of the currency pairs to acquire goods and services, just for speculation. As such I'll stick to my '5% of the time' statement about when people actually need national currency.
