If you don't need the features on the $49 dollar plan - why not just set them up with the free plan or the basic plan?

The people that pay for the $49/$349 or $1000 are typically clients with projects that are not simple "static sites". Typically these sites includes content management and requires a build to run everytime and editor triggers a change. They're often .com's for companies that always ends up needing proxying because they have legacy apps behind different URL

Other clients have in-house dev teams and run their main web application on Netlify with constant updates in different branches and pull requests, and Netlify lets them collabarote across these.

Again others just have large global presences and care about having someone to escalate to if there's a problem with a launch, any uptime, certificate, configuration issue or the like.

Those are the one that needs and use our Pro/Global/Enterprise tiers.
I'd hazard they are making billions in sales. Elsewhere in this thread they are quoted at claiming to make 20 cents per ride, $62 million total, in revenue.

I think this is a cool idea. As a vegan I take a few supplements at different times of the day, and it would be nice to have to only take one pill, even if that came at a premium.

On that note, are your products vegetarian and/or vegan friendly? I'm curious especially about the pill itself (gelatin?), the omega 3 (fish oil?), and the vitamin D3 (lanolin)? Thanks!
> When the marker they use to draw a dot on where they need to cut you during surgery costs $50, it's hard for me to believe that the problem with health care is insurance companies not making enough money.

The insurance companies are the ones paying for that $50 dot. Well, after their discounts it's probably a $10 dot.

It was either Time or Newsweek a few years back which had an excellent long-form article on where health-care spending goes. As I recall, it's not the insurance companies: it's the hospitals, physicians, nurses, other staff and an army of hangers-on and middlemen.
For the most part I think selling vulnerabilities on an actual "black market" is intrinsically unethical, and makes you a party to the bad things people who buy exploits on an actual black market do with them.

Thankfully, the black market doesn't want 99.99999% of the vulnerabilities people find.

I have friends who have sold vulnerabilities to people other than vendors. I do not think they're unethical people, and I don't know enough about those transactions to really judge them. So, it really depends, I guess. But if it were me, I'd be very careful.
This might be true in tech but it certainly isn't true in a variety of other areas. Many years ago when I was just out of high school I worked (along with many others there) 80 hours a week in a restaurant and every single hour was bust-your-ass busy.
Slashdot's method of scoring comments was overly complicated and probably did not produce any better results than reddit-style voting. However, Slashdot's killer feature was that the reader could filter by comment score and thus only read the 'good' comments, and not have to wade through hundreds of replies.
Wait, what? Really? I would point to the comments on just about any "women in tech" story as a counterexample.

It's how attack surfaces work. Yes, it shouldn't allow. But SNMP invovles that pesky ASN.1 encoding, written often by cheap contractors or people who don't really care about security much. So it allow for various buffer overflows, timing attacks, it is basically a large hatch to open and start jiggling all the gears in there and see what gives.
Because content providers want to lock users into their own proprietary content platforms, and providing an RSS feed is completely counter-productive towards that goal.

They're actually very commonly used, particularly in Afghanistan:

The motivation is twofold. First, they don't require fuel to loiter - or, in the case of a hybrid like this, they only need to keep going at a very low speed to get enough lift to stay aloft.

Second, as long as the filler gas isn't flammable and you have a half-way-decent self-sealing liner, it's actually quite hard to bring one down - rifles and most cannons poke pretty small holes in a balloon, so the rate of loss of buoyant gas would be quite low, and a flexible balloon deals with the overpressure wave of high explosives better than a rigid structure. (See the last part of that news article, where they mention the balloons coming down for periodic servicing with hundreds of bullet holes in them, yet still perfectly functional.)
If there are people half starving or barely able to survive, take care of their loved ones, or have any dignity, and you control so many resources as to be able to personally lift hundreds of thousands out of that misery, but don't, those people will eventually try to kill you.

We can sit here and academically discuss the degree of justification of that fact, but that seems to me somewhat tangential to the actual issue.
Well if that's the math that works for you, but I won't assume anything here. If I would have written it in C or Rust lang I would have given quoted a more deterministic memory usage. Bottom line, benchmarks just quoted numbers. Should have put up a Notice disclaimer in comment as well.

That actually raises an interesting question: what have the changes in building fire risk been over the past 150 years or so?

Historically, instances of entire cities burning were commonplace enough to be noted: the Great Fire of London (1666), the Great Chicago Fire (1871), the Baltimore Fire of 1904, the Great Fire and Earthquake of 1906 in San Francisco.

The Oakland Hills Fire of 1991 was actually the biggest urban fire in the US since the 1906 San Francisco event.

There's a list of fire-related losses here, though it includes terrorist (9/11) and industrial accident events: http://www.nfpa.org/news-and-research/fire-statistics-and-re...

Among the changes I can think of:

1. Better alerting systems.

2. Standardisation. Baltimore and Oakland Hills both saw incompatible hose-hydrant couplings.

3. Building standards. Everything from fireblocks and exits, to sprinkler systems.

4. Replacement of candles, oil lanterns, and gas lighting by electricity. Electrical fires happen, but they're far rarer. The Great Chicago Fire was caused by a lantern.

5. Safety and certification ratings of equipment, appliances, and wiring. "Underwriters Laboratories", the source of the ubiquitous (in the US) "UL" logo, was created by insurance companies.

That is: appropriately collectivising risks can result in reduced overall risk.
> Somehow my doing work on my own time creates an obligation for me to do more work on behalf of others.

To some small extent, yes, though how much work is up for debate. Maintainer's email and PGP public key is right there on the website? Yeah, I think you're obligated. No email you can find, no way to contact them, or are just outright hostile? No, I think you shouldn't have to deal with that.

But I feel like you agree with that, though maybe not in those exact words. After all, you've had to jump through all kinds of hoops to disclose vulnerabilities, been threatened with lawsuits for doing the right thing, and yet you still practice responsible disclosure in almost every case in spite of the burden of effort and potential risk. Aren't you doing it because you think disclosure is the right think to do? That's all I mean by obligation.

EDIT: sorry, not "responsible disclosure," "cooperative disclosure" or whatever term you want to use for disclosing the vulnerability to the maintainer.
I think this is absolutely true, and that consumers have themselves to blame for all kinds of bad stuff they buy.

But it is also true opinion polls show journalists are trusted only about as much as estate agents. And rightly so.

Media professionals sometimes see themselves as noble experts standing outside the internet echo chambers, and able to judiciously filter info-cacaphony to the benefit of the public.

They aren't.
It won't be worthless but it will be worth less.
Most US military campaigns these days are against guerrilla insurgencies, so uncontested skies. I posted this article in response to the parent article, which describes the use of aerostats in Kabul and other parts of Afghanistan during the height of the US presence there:

They are trying to fix their fragmented OS version pie chart problem like it was a fragged up Win 95 hard drive. Feels about as fun, too.
I think that maybe hosting comments alongside the original article isn't the best approach. Half the fun of internet comments is discussing with other commenters, but that works a lot better when you know the community that you're discussing with. You can't reasonably keep track of the dynamics of hundreds of different content provider's comment sections, nor can all content providers have interesting commenting communities.

We need a standard comment syndication format like RSS so that sites like HN and Reddit can continue to provide good communities for discussion, but content providers can still display comments below their content to show off reader engagement.
Russia, a country that's only a 1/6th of the Earth's surface, and likely even more sparsely populated than the US, has a 3 year maternity leave.

It's not uncommon to project for infinity. When using the discounted cash flow (DCF) method you first use the current business plan to project cash flows (discounting for the fact that future money is worth less than money right now) for as long as you think is reasonable, sum them, then calculate some "final value" for the company beyond the business plan.

Perhaps you think the company won't be around, so it is zero. Maybe you assume is steady-state forever, in which case the infinite sum of discounted cash flows turns into a geometric sum, which has a finite sum.
Good tip - thanks!

Ideally yes, but not necessarily.

I can certify that this key is the same one that was used for the 0.12.1 release, and its content has been published on more than just the bitcoin.org website and more than just $TODAY.

I can see the same content on Reddit's /r/bitcoin wiki page or on Bitcoin Talk, with an identical signature. I would have to believe that either Bitcoin is already compromised, or that bitcoin.org, bitcointalk.org, reddit.com AND archive.org have all been hacked or coerced into changing content with accurate history intact.
I was referring specifically to their paid same-site recommendation engines. So you drop it into an article, and it recommends other articles from your site. In my experience it's decent to good, depending on what metadata you provide it.

>Shouldn't keys only be signed after meeting in person?

Keys should only be signed after establishing beyond resonable doubt that they belongs to the person indicated by the key. Since the userid of the key is usually a real name, checking the passport in person is one good way to accomplish that.

I would argue that by cross-referencing multiple sources I can establish beyond resonable doubt that a certain key indeed belongs to the person known to the community as Wladimir J. van der Laan. At the point where the person is sufficiently well known under a certain name it doesn't really matter if that's the name on their passport, since that's irrelevant for their public identity.

Interestingly for this discussion, CmdrTaco is now at Wapo, after a brief spin through their various internal startups.
This is a fascinating exchange. Now I wonder how much of the general population, or even the tech-but-not-security population thinks like this.
In my opinion, assigning a value of even $28b to an app that could be duplicated by a single developer in under a week is probably a bad idea. Let's remember that most of the money they've blown has not gone into capital expenditures - there isn't a giant fleet of cars they own that could be sold if they fail, for example. They've spent almost all of the money subsidizing rides to win customers and drivers - both of which could leave the platform for the next great app in a heartbeat. They have not gained any assets as a result of their massive expenditures.

My personal opinion is that anyone investing in this company at any 10 figure valuation - much less 11 figures - is probably poised to lose most of their investment. We've seen through companies like Theranos how billions in perceived value can vanish overnight when business realities and investor expectations are mismatched. While these two companies appear to have reached high valuations through different means - Theranos through fraud and Uber through unprecedented hype - they may ultimately wind up in similar situations.
Just Java and Spring, senior level, nothing special by any means.

Nevermind that the argument you seem to be making is that the US is so diverse that the population at large would not agree to having a choice of a paid leave for a year or so. You really think men and women wouldn't want that choice of potentially staying at home for a longer period while retaining pay and their position? Wouldn't want the government to have their back that way? O rly?
This reminds me of one of my favorite talks of all time[1].

Applied to careers, I take the talk as implying that trying things is the secret. After a certain level of experience in your career, you'll know whether you like it. Branching off of that, it might even be the right thing to do to find a new career.

One of the best pieces of advice I have ever received is "successful people do stuff. It doesn't matter what that stuff is, just do stuff and you'll eventually be successful". Some people will be luckier than others, and be successful at their stuff at a higher ratio, but overall, the ratio is about the same, and you just need to keep doing stuff.

Also, one of my favorite illustrations/cartoons of all time[2] speaks to this point. Basically, if you pursue the same career for your entire life, you're probably wasting your time. once you have your x,000 hours of work in, do something new where you can cross-apply that knowledge into domains that need it.

More positively:
- Population growth is slowing.
- We need the subsequent generations to be well educated participants in a high tech knowledge economy.
- If they are not there will be no one to pay for your retirement (current incomes pay for pensions, health subsidies, pay interest on investment debt, pay tolls on roads etc to keep the wheels going round).
- Early childcare quality is very important in ensuring subsequent health and education performance.
Then you have to maintain two layouts in perpetuity.
The PPA seems to be the recommended Ubuntu install instruction on bitcoin.org:

Aren't all of Ubuntu's packages built on launchpad? It's interesting that you don't trust launchpad, should I not trust my OS either? And as far as checking signatures, that's what apt does automatically anyway, as I understand.

I know people like Moxie insist that it's only acceptable to have the (at least) software's author sign the software. Well, personally I'd rather trust a larger organization with more reputation to lose. (Ideally I'd have both, of course, when we get to deterministic builds.)

edit: Oh, deterministic builds is what gitian is. Okay I see your point :-) But still, why trust your OS at that point?

It sounds like I gave offence. I meant my criticism to be constructive, and I apologise if it came across as an attack. (For what it's worth, it's only because the language looks interesting that I bother trying to make constructive suggestions!)

By the way, while we're talking syntax, why {} instead of ()?
I've thought about that. The state can manage this problem. But that would be an insurmountable task in NYC.

I just came across this link, it is a very intuitive and well-written explanation about the subject.
There is no such thing as responsible disclosure. The concept is nonsensical. Also, you're overestimating the consequences of a single bug. The boring reality is that bugs rarely matter.
I want to see the folks that don't want sick leave or that like being forced back to work weeks after delivery. Or are you saying there are areas of the US favored by those entertaining BDSM in all facets of their life? Or maybe where slavery and indentured servitude hasn't quite been phased out?
I use the mobile app exclusively. I remember their old mobile app, a split ios and ipad experience, sometimes one version was not available on one device's iTunes Store at random times.

I like what is has become.... if you already know what artist you want to listen to.

- The push notification randomness is annoying, I've never responded to a push, except as a shortcut to open the app to get to the artist I wanted

- My most annoying gripe was that it forces you to sign up if you want to retain history (or follow an artist to at least have them in your feed)

- But after you sign up it is just as forgetful as ever, except if you follow an artist they'll be in your feed... somewhere....

It looks like they can ask for proof of residency, but not immigration status.
Why do you think that those statement imply that? It is clearly saying that the option to VPN in and connect to WiFi with credentials are supported, not that those are the only ways. At least, that is how I read it.

Standard bar exam question:

Inside warehouse, worker hides pallet of expensive goods by surrounding it with cheaper goods. Boss cannot find the expensive pallet. Worker has stolen the goods, even though none have left the warehouse. He has converted them from his boss's possession to his own constructive possession. Just like a boss that withholds wages, worker cannot suddenly make the pallet appear once the cops show up. The theft has occurred even if the thief later returns the goods.
