I think unions involve a lot more than that. (Correct me if I'm wrong.) For instance, the decisions a union makes or negotiates for may affect all other workers even if they aren't part of the union.
I love OpenBSD, but one reason I don't use it for my day-to-day work is that it lacks some tools that I now find indispensable. For example, LXC containers are incredibly useful for creating isolated, lightweight, development environments. I don't know of anything similar for OBSD.

Yeah, but they've also the "Wifi Captive Portal" of the internet, which frequently creates trouble (if you're using Tor for example).
When this happens regularly like with Transmission, is there a guarantee the version in official repos is not affected? The only way to be sure would be code checks and I doubt they do that.
I think the risk is a lot higher than described by this post or dropbox. There are nearly 70 million credentials, and email addresses actually contain a fair amount of heuristic information for an attacker. For example just filter down to addresses from hotmail or yahoo, and suddenly you have a list of credentials that are far more likely to be susceptible to a dictionary attack.
Ask HN: Engaging inactive users
Most users of my service are inactive, they sign up, look around, then don't come back. Has anyone had this situation? How can I find out what's going on? Two things I can think of is: just email them and ask, or create a survey. I've seen a lot of sites are doing a 'show popup when mouse leaves the window' thing now, has anyone had success with that?

It also deals with another matter as a metaphor. It's about doing what's easier but without effect, over what's effective but difficult.

Bikeshedding is about wasting time on non-important decisions.

So there's only slight overlap between the two concepts. The "talk about furniture arrangements while there is a hole on the roof" parent mentions is more apt -- but you can also bikeshed without any more pressing matter present.
It may be worthwhile trying out Fedora. I haven't used it in years now.

Good to see that they are making a conscious effort to keep a number of compilers/toolchains updated.

Fedora aims to include Rust 1.11 this time around.

Google's Go will be boosted to the recently released 1.7,
Node.js will be upgraded to version 6.x, the PHP stack will now
run the better-performing version 7.0, and Ruby on Rails is
being bumped to version 5, which has been released after many
years of development. Erlang and Haskell, two major specimens
of the functional language world, are also getting their
Fedora-bundled compilers upgraded to newer versions.
Very solid and long-standing provider.

They target their offer a bit differently than other providers and this puts off some people, who don't appreciate the tradeoffs.

The details and tradeoffs are a bit too many to list here, but basically when they can cut corners to lower prices, while still keeping server-grade performance and uptime, they do not hesitate to do it.

It's also a bare metal / every server for itself / full DIY offering, without expensive gear such as SAN, blade servers and such. So if you're not prepared to roll your own virtualization, failover, backup, provisioning, etc solutions, you are better off going somewhere else.

That being said, the network service and server specs you get per your buck are second to none. The support is also adequate, if you understand the limitations of their offering.

Source: been a customer for 10+ years, currently have 10 servers with LXC and ZFS-on-Linux, hosting 100s of websites, mail domains, and custom applications, including a full backup solution based on ZFS send / recv. Would cost me a fortune on any other provider.

Once you've seen the diagrams explaining how this specific bit of tax evasion works it becomes hard to attribute it to an oversight or misinterpretation of arcane tax laws on Apple's side. These complicated structures take a lot of know-how and effort to set up correctly, and exist only for the purpose of minimizing the taxation on their services. Apple reportedly paid a negligible 0,005% in taxes in 2014, where 12,5% is normal (in Ireland).

So when people agree with the EU findings on this subject, it isn't just out of spite or dislike of Apple. Some feel strongly about tax evasion, as it enriches those who practice it to the detriment of ordinary citizens (taxes pay for public works and institutions). Some may find that huge corporations benefit unfairly from these convoluted tax evasion schemes compared to ordinary citizens, and small and medium sized corporations, and they seem to get away with it too (unfair competition).

Apple knew they could get caught, that risk has been assessed when they implement this scheme and found to be low enough to warrant it at the time. If anyone else gets caught not paying their dues in taxes, you can bet the local revenue service will be knocking on your door for the amount owed. Corporations are no different.

Also this isn't just about Apple. The EU has been going after a bunch of mega-corps the past year, including Starbucks. Apple is just one of the bigger fish amongst the big fish.

No, it's addressing a letter, which makes moral and ethical (as well as legal) arguments: e.g., one of the reasons why the EU's judgement is unfair is that Apple already pays lots of tax.

With our teams, the most useful thing we found was simply self-awareness that we were bikeshedding. So you need people to be prepared to stand up and say, "hang on, is this really important or are we just bikeshedding here?"

When we started doing this, we found that the bikeshed discussion would often be a consequence of too many people who didn't really have a stake in the outcome being involved in the decision. It didn't really matter to them which option was chosen, but they felt they had to take a position and/or provide lots of input. So our next step once we'd identified something as a bikeshed would be to say, "okay, who actually needs to make this decision" and defer the decision until those people could form a splinter group and come up with an answer.

The combination of a smaller group and a bit of time to digest the opinions coming out of the initial bikeshed discussion usually meant that this was more productive. Often it came up with a better end solution than any of the ones proposed during the bikeshed.

UPSat – the first open source hardware and software satellite is delivered
I mostly agree, but keep in mind that there are a differences in their goals; so a straight up comparison may not be all that fair. I think compilers try to avoid FP in their reporting, hence a little bit restricted and held back in the types of warnings they add, while many tools may shot at anything that looks suspicious. I still use static analyzers, even thou they have "FP rates" and it has saved me once or twice so it's still worth it.

I think (if you have the time and resources) you should try every tool available on your code, they really catch different things (and in some cases, tools which are solely "regex/pattern" based may find things that "we parse and understand everything"-tools miss.

Calling this "the elephant in the room" is very insightful. It surprises me that AWS is so often recommended as the best choice for new businesses without large capital. AWS automatically scalable infrastructure changes DoS outcomes from 'your server is down due to DoS', to 'your company is out of business due to DoS' (and for small company it doesn't even need to be a large DDoS, shell script on a single machine with decent link can generate substantial AWS cost).
They're not without merit but I don't buy into this whole "government is simply the name we give to the things we choose to do together" romanticization. Government is run by politicians and much of the administrative state (in the US at lease) is delegated to unelected officials.

When the speech recognition experience becomes good enough, the awkwardness —both individual and social— will dissipate. For example: at the moment, the entry and exit points for speech recognition are kludgy at best. Once your many devices operate as a single entity, the entity recognizes your (and only your) voice, the entity simply performs on command, and a reliable and comfortable/natural exit point is designed, so much of the weirdness will just disappear.
I only do to enjoy the pleasure of old ways. Interacting with CDs and CD drives reminds me of when it was cutting edge. Tray mechanics, the speed intake of spinning motors.

Ask HN: Opportunities to study abroad without a previous degree?
Long story short, I couldn't finish my education in university (even with an scholarship) for personal reasons. I have been a web — and then — backend developer for ~6 years now (PHP and recently Go) and my previous employers have stated that my profile is good, but once I touch the immigration process topic they try to avoid it because they understand — and I do too — that a formal education is the key in the process. I have tried to move to Canada four times: one to Quebec, two to Canada using the FSW and Express entry programs, and this year asked for a tourist visa and was rejected because "[I] don't have roots in the home country to guarantee a return".

So I get it now, there is no way I can immigrate to another country — from South America — without a formal degree. I'm 25 years old, so it is not like I am too old to enroll in an university once again, but the education system is not good enough to consider five years of studies an investment.

Do you know of universities in your country that accept international students without a previous degree? I know that many universities expect that you are currently studying in a local university or that you already have a degree before they allow you to enroll in their careers.

— PS: I recently was interviewed by a Japanese company doing some machine learning stuff and the interview was going well until we touched the topic about my education. Japan and many other countries are very strict with their work visas, so it was clear that I would not be able to move there without a formal degree.

Not entirely - any monies returned can legally only be used to pay back Ireland's national debt. The UK, Germany, and France are the biggest holders of Ireland's debt, so effectively the money is going back to them, albeit with Ireland benefiting by reducing its debt marginally.
