Insufferable indeed. Goodness, how will those lovers of dance music survive the onslaught of formulaic EDM drivel one has to wonder.

I was expecting lovers of dance music to... love dance music. Not dictate what's right and what's wrong while passively agressively suggesting that mainstream listeners are ignorant.

I've seen this attitude many times from smaller groups which see themselves above the masses. They need a justification for the fact that their tastes are not popular and that becomes often "the masses are stupid, only we understand the true nature of whatever".

A flash client could use adobe DRM ( test here https://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/protected-video-cont... ), or even use a negotiation scheme that is harder to reverse engineer compare to javascript.

current HTML5 standard do not defined a DRM standard.

I would like to add that it is only a small part of the issue as the average user would not probably care but as you can see here ( http://www.quirksmode.org/html5/tests/video.html ), downloading video is one right-click away.

Youtube does some clever event interception to prevent this.

But again the cost of a developer to replace the existing system, re-encoding the videos ( sources might have been lost ), might be too high for a "normal" website to update their content.
I don't mean performance inefficiency, I mean that developing apps in JS is harder and slower than with other frameworks. I picked on Racket because it's possible to build a cross platform GUI app skeleton in less than a screen full of code, with no external dependencies.
Which, if one is honest, is what makes America work.

I disagree with Thiel. Sixty percent of Americans see similarly [1]. But guess what: democracy depends on tolerating--and reconciling--different views.

In Evelyn Beatrice Hall words, "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it" [2]. The same fraction of Americans who disagree with Trump agreed with interracial marriage as recently as the 1990s [3].

Democracy is messy. If you like overruling others with force, don't pretend to like our system. You're lazy, trading liberty for security, and in turn deserve neither.

Because the government only drives innovation when it's in competition with other governments (wars mostly). Give it a basic service to manage and it tends to do the shittiest acceptable job possible.
Perhaps, although i'm quite skeptical about a difference in distribution and installation. And even in the case of manufacturing, one must only consider the delta between them rather than full cost of manufacturing solar.
This isn't entirely true……
You're basically saying that because our measurement system is arbitrary, the numbers that are yielded as a result of our measurements are irrelevant. Sure, the exact numbers assigned to said measurements might be arbitrary, however the relationship between values still exists. As proportions, percentages, whatever. However you choose to measure, things still relate to each other in some way.
My understanding of the 432Hz conspiracy doesn't rely so heavily on the number "432" vs "440", so much as it relies on the correspondence between our vibration, the earth's vibration, and the vibrations coinciding with 432Hz. Again, rearrange these numbers any way you like, but there is still a relationship between the earth, us, sound, etc.

Well, I always thought HackerNews was supposed to be about hackers doing newsworthy things... Dissing the establishment is all fine and good, but personally I love seeing people building stuff, especially first web apps.
Knowing that seems useful as well.
Where i live you can get a phone contract that includes the latest model, a new phone, once a year. SO if you sign up now for an iPhone 7, in a year you will get a 7s, a year after the 8 and so on. You return the phone you have to the telecoms company.

I don't know what they do with all of the returned phones, I assume they sell them on refurbished, but I also assume that a percentage of those that are not broken will fall into the telecom's basket of not cost-effective to refurbish. Those are phones that would have remained in use and continued to be used. Even then, the amount of new phones being manufactured just because consumers want to consume the latest thing with little to no real benefit is wasteful.
What exactly do you want to protect against?

In my personal experience, customers can be trusted and hackers don't care about your software. For my own software I've implemented an extremely basic licensing system. I've collected data about how many unique mac addresses use each unique license, so I can count what licenses are used by multiple computers. I've just done a simple filter on all my licenses to see which ones are used by over 5 mac-addresses. I expected there to be more, but the result was 13. There are 13 licenses that are being used by more than 5 computers, none of those licenses are used by over 14 computers.

That's 13 out of about 3500 licenses mind you.

This is just my reality, maybe your target niche is script kiddies or broke CS students, consider your target group, but I suggest you not to worry too much about it, just implement a really basic licensing system to prevent no-effort abuse and you'll be fine.

I suggest in spare time contributing to open source. This will build a good profile for prospective employers from future. As working remotely you may not be visible much in scene, however if you have strong presence in open source space, you will stay visible and prove how much you get done being self motivated. And any future company , most remote employers love self motivated, accomplished team members. And your online open source contributions helps validate that.

If you know what you do, pay attention to tennis. There's quite some money in tennis predictions. I know people who don't really know a lot about data mining and don't have a formal education in the field (and some of their 'math apparatus' sounds absolutely lame and laughable) who are making mid to high six figures in tennis. One guy even switched there from such an obviously attractive field as poker - a guy who already has an an excellent lifestyle from passive investments alone, and he's 32. If you can apply real data science there, and big data approach, mining a lot of data about tennis player, tournaments, surfaces, etc. etc., you can probably make millions. This isn't some temporary thing: bookies can't make better quality lines because they aren't offering odds reflecting real probabilities, they offer odds reflecting people's likelihood to bet on either side - and these are different things. And lines at betting exchanges are influenced by bookies, who make the bulk of the market, anyway.

calling them symbols might help your case, as it's not to promote a brand but to ease recognition of the copyright status and permitted uses of content. Also keeping the focus on attribution and non-commercial variants rather than trying to encode the exact version of the license.

This brings the interesting question: how many failed experiments are being "replicated" just because the past failed attempts are not published? Said differently, how many researchers are wasting time on something that is bound to fail, like all the researchers that happen to have tried the same idea in the past failed, but didn't publish, because who wants to publish failure?

I'm happy about this because this election cycle made it very clear to me how many of my friends would rather ignore facts and evidence than believe that CNN/MSNBC are pretty openly reporting things as fact that can't possibly be known with certainty or are just blatantly wrong to create a narrative.

I don't think it says that about the set of all vulnerabilities (IOW - citation needed!).

It does say "In this paper, we consider only exploits that have been used in real-world attacks before the corresponding vulnerabilities were disclosed" so it's unsurprising that in their dataset this is the case :)

I agree somewhat with the comment - AWS really do encourage you to think about your instances as cattle instead of pets and they provide lots of tooling to help you out (auto scaling groups, launch configurations, load balancers, etc).

Once you've got into this mindset it's much easier to design scalable and redundant systems.

I find Postmates competing primarily on food delivery quite odd. When I originally started using Postmates, it was for pretty much for everything but food. When I ordered food from it, it was for the likes of food trucks, where I just needed to dispatch a courier and make a free form order. Unfortunately, Postmates discontinued support for these features.

The kinds of things I ordered before the modernization of Postmates were USB-to-Ethernet adapters, Macs, soldering irons, and more. These were typically high priced goods that I needed in a short period of time to keep up some service.
Seems more like a way for the involved parties to collect data on new ransomware popping up on the web than a genuine effort to help victims.

Most apartment building were I've lived have these washing rooms, yes. Yeah, those machines are built like tanks and probably last at least a few decades. The size and weight of these machines are also more like a tank than what you'd normally consider a washing machine, so you wouldn't want one of those in your own apartment.. :)

(I help maintain SmartStack)

I think it's really interesting that "what we've already got setup" is such a big driver in which systems we pick. For example, in 2013 Yelp already had hardened Zookeeper setups and Consul didn't exist ... and when it did exist Consul was the new "oh gosh they implemented their own consensus protocol" kid on the block, so we opted for what we felt was the safer option. I do have to be honest that I was also pretty worried about the ruby ZK library, but to be totally honest it's been relatively well behaved, aside from the whole sched_yield bug [1] occasionally causing Nerves to infinite loop shutting down. We fixed that with a heartbeat and a watchdog, so not too bad. Which technologies are available at which times really drives large technical choices like this.

Consul template is undeniably useful, especially when you start integrating it with other Hashicorp products like Vault for real time rolling your SSL creds on all your distributed HAProxies. And I think that the whole Hashicorp ecosystem together is a really powerful set of free off the shelf tools that are really easy to get going with. I do think, however, that Synapse does have some important benefits, specifically around managing dynamic HAProxy configs that have to run on every host in your infra. For example, Synapse can remove dead servers ASAP through the HAProxy stats socket after getting realtime ZK push notifications rather than relying on healthchecks (in production <~10s across the fleet, which is crucial because if HAProxy healthchecked every 2s we'd kill our backend services with healthcheck storms ... because we've totally done that ...), Synapse can try to remember old servers so that temporary flakes don't result in HAProxy reloads, and it can try to spread and jitter HAProxy restarts so that the healthcheck storms have less impact, all while having flexibility in the registration backend (Synapse supports any service registry that can implement the interface [2]). However, there are some pretty cool alternative proxies to HAProxy out there and one area that Consul is really doing well on is supporting arbitrary manifestations of service registration data using Consul template; SmartStack is still playing catch up there, supporting only HAProxy and json files (with arbitrary outputs on their way in [3]).

I enjoyed the article, and thank you to the Stripe engineers for taking the time to share your production experiences! I'm excited to see folks talking about these kinds of real world production issues that you have to deal with to build reliable service discovery.

It's not clear to me which side of EBITDA we're arguing on, but as a generalized statement capital expenses for which you cannot claim a full immediate deduction could put you in debt -- the full tax claim is deferred over the life of the asset. You could earn $10,000 of revenue -- spend $10,000 on a server and then still owe some 20-30% income tax because you cannot claim the full $10,000 deduction in that first year. For my server example that may be 3-4 years, some plant and equipment can be much longer.

This is also based on Australian tax, I assume it's similar elsewhere but don't know the intricacies.

Banking systems are publicly verifiable. If your balance suddenly changes, you're going to know about it.

With electronic voting, any method of verifying your vote is incompatible with the principle of a secret ballot.

(edit: additionally, with paper ballots and adversarial scrutineers, every vote will certainly be counted properly as the people who stand to benefit(the politicians) can raise an issue if a ballot is being counted the wrong way. It's much less likely that every individual would verify their own vote).

The resistance for voting via software may really concern you, but the push for it really really concerns me...
This rarely happens. It's a moot point. Potential customers are 99.9% of the time too busy or don't have the resources to execute on a solution.
It's also entirely possibly you're legally obligated to do so.

As a simplified example; if they are the only option to get funding, it may be fiscally irresponsible to the other share holders to deny that option.

Same thing happens with bankruptcies, mergers & acquisitions, etc all the time - stuff may be sold to a company that the founders or anyone else is very objectionte to but they may have absolutely no say in the matter whether through no control in bankruptcy or simply not enough voting power with multiple interests.

Makes you really think about contracts and other such sometimes, just because you trust this company and it's founders or leadership now doesn't mean you can trust them later if they lose control.
