I agree that bezel size matters but not for the reason you mentioned. When I hold a phone or tablet in landscape mode I need a place to comfortably be able to have a portion of my hand touch without interacting with the screen. The iPhone, iPad and now Google Pixel all have larger bezels at the top and bottom which are perfect for having your thumbs or another part of the hand touch without interacting with the app you are using. This can make reaches into the interactive area a little larger but I think it's worth it to avoid accidental presses which software has been pretty bad about detecting so far.

This again! US warplanes are also prohibited from supersonic flight over the US (with the possible exception of extremely sparsely populated parts of the western US).

Source: I'm 56 years old, have lived in 6 US states (including Nevada) and have never heard a sonic boom in the US. I know what they sound like because I visited Germany in 1970 where sonic booms from US warplanes were common.

Is a vengeful corporation or protectionism responsible for that prohibition, too, in your opinion?

How successful is the drug war? The recent headlines related to heroin seem to imply that it's been a failure. Before that there was a meth crisis and before that there was likely something else. Is enforcement actually reducing the negative social impacts of substance abuse? It would be interesting to see the ROI for enforcement.
Used to be, yes.
Ben Laurie, who co-invented CT, claims not to favor blockchains (especially with proof-of-work), e.g.

He seems to have argued that CT's log works on different principles, although surely it's influenced by all of the revitalized consensus work that's happened after the Bitcoin paper.

Ask HN: What software do you depend on for day-to-day tasks?
I just started creating a list and I'm sure there are some hidden gems:

Oh wow, Major BBS. That brings back memories. I thought both Major BBS and Wildcat were garbage.

I am sure Synchronet is solid in many ways in the new version. The problem I have with a lot of software is there are big drop-offs across many of the categories I'd evaluate at least classic BBS software on.

These qualities includes but are not limited to:

* Messages - Message formats, compression, support for sync/distribution optionally, message interface

* Files - Warez boards often correlated highly with this. Things like tools for organizing files, scaling out to large numbers of files, and so on.

* Protocol Support - Does it support or can support be easily added? Ymodem, Xmodem, Zmodem, Kermit, BiModem. all are examples. Moreover, how good is the support and is it stable? Does it prevent things like Leech Zmodem? This is all less of a concern these days though obviously.

* Core Stability - Can it handle a lot of nodes, connections, users, without falling on its face? Most of the "boring" software is pretty good here, while things like the software used by the art scene or warez scene often is awful here. Even in newer stuff, a lot of software leaks resources over time or gets weird bugs when left running, which is the point of a BBS.

* Chat - Does it support multi-node chat? Can you change chat and such?

* Sysop Tools - Monitoring, paging, alerts, stats, etc.

* Add-Ons/Plug-ins - Lots of software popular in underground also was good here. Does it have an object model, programming language, scripting interface? If so, are there actually things in the wild for it? PCBoard was huge in this area, so much so it made up for many faults because of this.

* Games or other app add-ons - In the old days, supporting door games and at least a core of some games was a must. One or more of LoRD, Trade Wars, BRE, SRE were generally musts.

* Security - Does it allow adding virus scanners and such? Does it check input thoroughly? Is it or was it ever backdoored?

* OS Support - This is more something I'd judge new boards on, but in the old days choice was often determined just by what you had so it's worth mentioning. There wasn't much that was cross-platform and also good.

* UI - Can you customize the UI? Can you inject things dynamically using the API or even just simple things like MCI/Software specific codes? Can you do things like adjust key mappings? Does it support various terminal modes properly (lot of new ones fail here)?

I'll stop there, but the point is that very few if any pieces of software do well across all those. For as much as I value things like stability, so many other things used to make or break your board. Somehow we were a lot more OK with downtime then, but less forgiving if things lacked functionality. This is just my opinion of course.

The MS stuff works. Reliably. For years. Decades. And has development tools no Linux solution even comes remotely close to matching.

That's kind of exactly the point the article was making. If the tools from "the wrong decade" are solid and reliable, just keep using them. That's the point.

I agree that CT uses a technology related to blockchains, but as I noted above, Ben Laurie has been pretty vocal in saying that the Bitcoin-style PoW blockchain isn't a technology that he favors, and I think he thinks CT is importantly different in some respects (for example in accepting more centralization in the operation of logs: an uninvolved anonymous party can't show up and "mine" a CT log event).

Xiongmai has hundreds of 'manufacturer' customers, mostly in China. Together, they easily amount to millions of devices (though some are analog cameras that by definition are not IP enabled). To give a sense of scale, total cctv cameras sold are in the tens of millions annual and Xiongmai is the biggest module supplier.

In terms of well known brands, most brands hide using Xiongmai so there might be so well known consumer type brands but we have not discovered that yet. The typical Xiongmai brand sells to customers or SMBs at super low prices, where low cost is key.
I'm much happier to see this. My concern with AMP has always been that it removes incentives for browsers to get faster, because if most of the content is using AMP there's no point in optimizing important things. Having a multi-vendor solution gives us non-Chrome browser vendors a voice at the table.

(To give a concrete example, why bother with optimizing layout-affecting animations to run off the main thread if AMP just forbids them? Such animations are useful, precisely because they affect layout; we aren't doing Web authors any favors by forbidding them instead of just making them fast.)

Stay away from this mess if you value both your sanity and productivity. Microsoft is still raking in the money from big companies who have people working for them who LOVE to work on these kinds of things. It distracts them from actually getting any real work done.

They all probably know the same artists though. Popularity is a bitch.
Funny enough, many BBSs were only open at night. Usually it was because someone only had one line, but also sometimes it was because a kid was hijacking the second line (presumably).

You would think such BBSs would have failed, but many were super popular in spite or even because of it. As a whole though, the bigger and better ones were multi-node and always up though.

"...because honestly it doesn't seem to me like it actually is or should be the "hardest" part at all."

Think about the amount of "empathy" that went into the first iPhone. All of the work to design an efficient way to display information and navigate on such a small device. Pinch to zoom. Inertial scrolling. Virtual keyboard to maximize screen space when you aren't typing. Swiping to navigate. Both dreaming up solutions like this and then making them real is extremely hard work and requires a lot of skill, talent, and knowledge.

It's not clear to me that making a smaller hard drive or a faster CPU or a screen with more pixels, are necessarily harder problems to solve than the kind of user experience problems Apple tackles. (Or used to tackle, depending on your view of post-Jobs Apple.)

Hm. I suspect that the 20/80 rule applies there and "here's our shiny new aircraft design, have fun testing and debugging it for the next 15 years" isn't a viable strategy there. There are often those "vision designs" of wonderful new planes that are developed internally by the major companies, but then never realized. I bet they can easily produce the 20% part themselves in much less time. But maybe it's an illusion and they are really ripe for disruption.
You are wrong about that. This is the third or fourth time I've seen this dippy nonsense in print, and I wish it did not persist. Its central sin is that it obscures the mundane, industrial-based reasons for the tuning standard's emergence.

> The Drug War seems so out of control and Orwellian at this point

A friend of mine, a MBA/PHD fellow who happened to give lectures on one of the most prestige US University, as well as working for very prestige Hedge Fund in NYC, is a great example of this.

In 2007 we was pulled over for a missing stop light. The car was his grandmother and he wasn't aware. As the cop approached him from the right side to look into his glove compartment while he was reaching for registration, the cop noticed a pill on the floor. It happened to be some sort of para-morphine tightly controlled drug that his grandmother used for a pain from her cancer.

No amount of explanation was enough for this cop. Even when his grandma showed up at the police station with bottle of same drug to explain.

Shortly after his life got ruined very quickly. Of course both University and his job found out and he was removed from his duties due to "very strict no drug policies". No amount of explanation was enough. He tried to get another job and over 3 years went from looking jobs at Universities to trying for McDonald waiter, but even they did not want to hire "a druggie".

As he had some savings, it wasn't the worst part. But as he got 6 years parole, being mandatory forced to go to some sort of AA meetings where for 45 minutes a week he had to listen stories of people who couldn't hold a cigarette cause that's how much they got their hands stung by needless, was worst of all nightmares. He even got approached by few drug dealers who happen to often visit those premises to try to recruit new members, and was somewhat glad he had some savings set aside, otherwise he might have gone and really start dealing!

Also he couldn't move out of State until the end of his parole (it would be considered violation) and had to check once a week to the local police station and bring updated drug test, even though he had to pay for those tests from his own pocket. If you think you just come to overcrowded NYC police station and drop a piece of paper at some drop box, then you wrong. Those "visits" usually took about 3-6 hours, depending on how busy they were. Sitting in the line in such a place every week for so long has to be nightmare on its own...

Not to end this tragic story too sad, eventually once his parole ended he moved to his uncle to Alaska and find some peace working on a fish farm. But his drug record will remain in the system for at least next 15 years.

So boys and girls don't "do" drugs....
But that's because today's definition of engineer is narrow while it used to be more broad (e.g. Eiffel was an engineer). An artist is also a craftsman, except he uses his craft to express himself.
Well, I don't know if "boring" is the word I'd use, but I like _transparent_ stacks: if I make a mistake, it tells me where I made a mistake in a way that I can interpret. All of the "boring" stacks have this property.
As a not-elligible-for-LTS version, it's probably fine - you're not going to be using Node 7 in production anyway, as it's only ever a cutting-edge release, unless you don't care about stability in which case memleaks are part and parcel.
Can't agree more. ASP.NET Core with C# is a breath of fresh air after doing mostly complicated express.js-backed SPA development for a while.
Correct. What might be interesting to add to this: you can't query Certificate Transparency servers by certificate. You can query them by index or by using an SCT hash, but if you want a definitive answer to "when was this certificate first logged?" you'll need to process the log completely. CT is not designed for live-checking of certificates, only for monitoring by domain owners.
