It's a pity that this happens in plain sight and the world still goes on ...

It's like all of us are stuck in our little microcosm, and we don't give a damn about what happens to the nation as a whole. People in power take advantage of this neglect and by the time common man realizes this, it too late, almost always ...
What was your answer?
I doubt that this will happen anytime soon. I didn't see anything mentioned about that in the link above and also the status of this seems still as DRAFT[1].

What a completely off-base comment. You missed the part where the person claimed that as an insider,

>I worked on Shark Tank. It is a lie (but not unlike almost every other TV show) with just enough truth to keep "suspension of disbelief" aloft.

that is a wildly inaccurate mischaracterization. Your whole comment is off-base because you missed that. No, there is not "just enough truth to keep suspension of disbelief aloft" with the whole thing being a lie.

It's genuine negotiation that reflects real businesses, real talks with investors, and real investment.

There is one fake aspect, which I highlighted: when discussing the valuation, the entrepreneurs don't tell the sharks about the shark tank exposure ("when this airs... ") even though it is a huge point of leverage.

Shark Tank in my estimation is not inherently a lie (except this part). It is heavily edited, obviously.

Use of that word is inappropriate.
> That seems reasonable?

Yes it does to me. If they invite many former secretaries of state it seems reasonable to invite this one. Who cares what she's currently working on if that's not why she was invited? The article even says she hardly mentioned her candidacy.

If you're desperate to get worked up about this I can see where you would find the problem, but I think a charitable interpretation is a former secretary of state was invited to talk like many others were.
The Koch brothers strategically encourage libertarianism to help them repeal only the regulations they want repealed.

They'll push for repealing environmental protection laws, but not for the tort laws that reduce their liability for polluting. They'll push for repealing regulations that are advantageous for unions, but not "Right to Work" laws that prevent unions and businesses from forming contracts requiring all laborers to be part of the union.

It never happened because (IMO, I'm guessing), no-one actually needs nanomsg. I've never really understood the hostility some people had towards e.g. the ZeroMQ protocols, since these RFCs are as plastic and open to contributions as any part of the project. Yet people like to react against things, and this was a large part of nano's reason for existence. In reality, people who need stable working code just take ZeroMQ and that's it.

Which is all kind of a shame since it would have been so nice to see a new C engine in the community. We have new engines in C#, Erlang, Java, yet the old core project is still that somewhat clunky C++ engine.
Show HN: Crowdsourcing an Internet-only Band
Hello HN,

Longtime reader here (I'm a Ruby on Rails developer for my day job).

I've dabbled in music and songwriting since high-school, but never was able to make enough connections to form a band.

Wanting to put my music out there and collaborate, I decided to make a "project" out of it.

I present to you, Global Music Friends: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yy68TpeLanQ

That video explains the deal, but basically, I'm posting my music to YouTube and hoping for collaborators to contribute.

We're also soliciting original songwriting and if selected, those entries will make it onto the main channel.

What does HN think?
So basically lobbying, but in a more discreet, sinister, difficult to trace form.

Lessig would call it corruption.
on linux kernel >= 3.2 you can mount /proc with the option hidepid=2. However this isn't a very elegant solution in my opinion.
If you think my comment had anything to do with Shark Tank or a claim I missed (I didn't), I'm not the one that's off-base, I can wholeheartedly assure you.
> Of course, you still need an x86-64 computer or whatever. I doubt they'll stop making them any time soon though=)

There is plenty of hardware that would have been made 10 years ago that is no longer available.

So if your system is based on such hardware, eventually it will fail, only because you wont be able to find spare parts to keep it running.

Then as soon as you upgrade to newer hardware, you will run into OS issues where your older OS no longer works with the newer hardware.

That will force you to also do an OS upgrade and that upgrade will then cause issues with your old code, which no longer runs on the new OS.

So there is plenty of external factors, all outside of your control, which will cause decay in your software.
What system are you thinking of? Which works with existing crypt(3) based system used on Unix?

Indeed.

If you trust her, you may not see a problem, but if you don't trust her, it's easy to argue this is disguised bribery.

There's a huge difference between a former secretary of state with no prospects of power in the future and someone everyone knew would run for President in a few years.
FWIW the timeline is only ranked when you were away for an extended period of time - when you haven't been away you get regular, chronological tweets. You can also opt out of the ranking and be fully chronological.
There is no case law in France.

Copyright and patent violations fell under criminal law some years ago. There was a long battle in the EU to stop this happening. The movie industry won. In France the law was passed under Sarkozy iirc.

When you download a movie, this is now a criminal offense. However the sanctions are mild (warnings) for first time offenders, and only turn to jail time for those making a lot of money from it (I think, IANAL.)

In all cases however the rights holders don't sue, it's the state that sues. Big win for the content cartels as they get these cases prosecuted for free now.
I wish there were more specific examples.
Anarchy provides a form of theoretical freedom, but neglects practical freedom. If you remove the governments monopoly on force, you don't eliminate force.

I happen to think that, in aggregate, the current system of the government forcibly removing some property from everyone to provide a system in which the remainder of the property is protected under the rule of law preserves a larger fraction of property rights than a more theoretically pure system free from such coercion would be.

I may be wrong about this, or I may be right, but I think it is hard to prove either way, as we do not have a sufficient understanding of social dynamics to argue from simulation or first-principles, and empirical data have too many confounding variables.

As long as it's not "this favor for this donation", it is legal in the US and not considered a bribe.

It's not even a bribe when constantly give donation but threaten to stop them if the legislator doesn't follow your wishes [0]. The DOJ was petitioned to investigate but refused to even look into it, so, (by fiat, or rather lack of it) it is legal.

And does that Docker instance need a token to read the password out of key/value store somewhere? How then do you securely distribute the token? It seems like that would just be pushing the problem elsewhere.

Also I am assuming that something is preventing that tmpfs filesystem from swapping to disk?

Damn.
Users are only as good for the project as their reinvestment in the project. A small number of users who contribute code, money, or bug reports is better than a large number of users who never interact with the maintainers. In most cases the number of overall users is correlated with the number of contributors, but it's the latter group who are driving development and growth. A large user base is more a side effect of a successful project than a driving force.

It's been a few years since I've downloaded a torrent. Spotify and Netflix are more convenient for me. My own routine was a VM purely for running a client in a VPN-only environment, tables to drop all non-VPN traffic and file transfers using shared folders. The VM was "virgin" to prevent any identifable info leaking out. It is possible that this is slightly more hardened that a "typical" use if a VPN. I was thinking in this context when I posed the question.

"Inexpensive" is really an understatement when talking about replacing the entire, worldwide sign and lane marker infrastructure (nb with something that's orders of magnitude more issue-prone than current solution). Who pays for that? What if a state/country says "we don't care about your active signs, WONTFIX"?

Worse, "can't see stop sign" is currently easy to spot and debug; in your proposal, this would require retooling the world over.
Similarly, if you're not negotiating the best possible rate for every gig you take, you're doing it wrong.

It's entirely possible to do something you love for a fun team with good technology and a product that genuinely benefits the world as a whole, while earning a better than market rate salary.

Try not to mistake looking out for your own interests with disregarding everything apart from money. They're orthogonal.
We found out my wife had cancer ("of unknown primary") in May last year. We're in our early 30s so this should not be happening. Anyway, I think the same advice would still apply for more mundane situations like a recession or a failed business.
> Has anybody here ever had her/his mind changed by a great overpaid speaker?

Overpaid speakers aren't there to change your mind, they're there to signal to you the high status of the institution that burnt a pile of cash to pay for them

(Is this the sentiment expressed in the original post? About to read it now)
Not all jobs are supposed to pay all your bills and mortgage. McDonalds and similar jobs are there for students and other people who want just part-time gigs paying some additional cash for their non-crucial expenses. Such jobs are supposed to be temporary, therefore there's no point in enforcing minimum wage for them.

The troll reply by wutangson1

https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=wutangson1

might have affected your judgment, as it purposefully badly misquotes that HN is not for video editors in specific (by leaving out "in specific") and taking a trollish tone. There's nothing unusual about a skype conversation with a startup. For what it's worth, the reason I didn't mention the name of my contact is due to not wanting this kind of trolling.

Shark Tank is real. Anyone with a company reading this can apply and exposure on it will likely be beneficial if it happens. There's nothing inherently fake about it, other than not mentioning its own effect. (I've also never heard an entrepreneur give a purposefully evasive answer to margins saying, "well I don't want to give an exact amount to all the shark tank viewers, but our bill of materials is in the low single digit percentages" rather than saying "it costs us $1 to make and we sell it for $39.99")

Except for those self-referential aspects missing, the show appears to me to be reality.

> my team probably don't know what they're supposed to do in the case of an emergency, so log in out of a mixture of curiosity and apprehensiveness

Imagine you're at home with your wife celebrating your anniversary after a bottle of wine, or out celebrating your child's 6th birthday and you get a text from work that makes you apprehensive enough to stop what you're doing and log into work systems.

Please talk to your team so none of them has to ever go through this. In my experience as an employee, it's a really shitty feeling.

> I'd prefer not to impose that on my team. Is there a middle ground?

Inclusion in the on-call rotation can be optional. If a person on the team wants and extra $x per month to be on call for y days per month, they're on the rotation. If another person doesn't want that, they're not.

That was done at one of my previous employers, I think it worked great. Generally speaking the younger people without families opted in, and the older people with families opted out. I loved hiking/camping/getting out of town at every chance, so I always opted out :)

(Please don't think all of the above means I dislike your management or something. Reading your other comments, it sounds like you'd be awesome to work for)
From that wiki page:

Phosphogypsum is radioactive due to the presence of naturally occurring uranium and thorium

The United States Environmental Protection Agency has banned most applications of phosphogypsum with a radium-226 concentration of greater than 10 picocurie/gram (0.4 Bq/g).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isotopes_of_radium#Radium-226

The longest lived, and most common, isotope of radium is 226Ra with a half-life of 1,600 years. 226Ra occurs in the decay chain of 238U (often referred to as the radium series.)

With a half-life of 1600 years for Radium-226, quite a long time.
If you are willing to tell anyone who connects your salt, you could, in principle, run a balanced PAKE using the crypt output.

You could go one step further and have the server store an augmented PAKE authenticator derived from the crypt(3) output.
Ask HN: Has anyone been hired by the big 4 companies from outside the US?
I wanted to know if anyone has been hired by the big 4 from outside the US. How did it happen? what was your experience with the interview and most importantly what role? I want to know if this is possible or I should just forget the idea.

A little about me:

I am a front-end dev, with strong front-end skills currently taking courses in Data structures and Algorithms and bought the book Cracking The Coding Interview, been doing one question every day since. I have worked for a number of European startups as a remote front-end dev, but I've always dreamt of going to the valley. I live in Africa.
That's also true but I was also imagining a system which generated and sent on a micropayment authentication id via a redirect when paywalled links are clicked.

Rather than users visiting publishers to find that they'd already read their 10 free articles, publishers would be able to use the id to grant them access to the article for a small fee that Twitter collected on their behalf at the end of the month.

Zero-friction low price articles for users. And customer acquisition costs fall for publishers.

It would also enable small time bloggers to also monetise their audiences.

Well this is exactly what fta is about. People also give this kind of money to famous non politicians.
You just reminded me of when I went to a conference and watched Daniel Libeskind talk about a work in progress. I get that famous individuals enjoy talking about their work but this was the first time I nearly suffocated from such an overbearing ego. Which I guess would've been fine if the specific work he was showing was profoundly influential or of high excellence? Instead it seemed like a certain distinct aesthetic that was persistent in different environments regardless of whether it fit the context.

To answer your original question, Helen Marriage (Artichoke) convinced me through her work the power that art can have in bringing together communities and fostering wonderment.
Yes, I started out with a script that used the diceware wordlist to generate passwords and manually used gpg to store my passwords, then evolved my script to combine the two steps I was doing manually.

Good article and great advice. But I wish to make a qualification to the statement: To tell "someone" they're wrong, first tell them how they're right and make sure that the "someone" is not a psychopath or sociopath or a brainwashed person.

Still as a liberal, I would start with an open mind (null hypothesis) but I will keep my analysis running and will keep on adjusting the hypothesis accordingly. Also depending on what is at stake, I will cut the analysis shorter and come to conclusion faster (and potentially wrong) so that I can take some action that is needed in time.

Unfortunately, there are enough people in the world who are completely convinced of their superiority or of the superiority of their views/beliefs and if you tell them they are right they just use your statement as a testament to their advantage and if you later even try to tell them they are wrong then they will not hesitate to kill you. Some examples that come to mind are Hitler (blinded by Nazism) [1], prophet Muhammad (blinded by Islamism) [2], Stalin (blinded by communism) [3].

Because with such people it doesn't matter what you tell first or later. Sadly, that's the main reason why we need (have to face) wars.
