>Consider your typical Chief Information Officer in the pre-Cloud era: for various reasons she has bought in to some aspect of the Microsoft stack (likely Exchange). So, in order to support Exchange, the CIO must obviously buy Windows Server. And Windows Server includes Active Directory, so obviously that will be the identity service. However, now that the CIO has parts of the Microsoft stack in place, she is likely to be much more inclined to go with other Microsoft products as well, whether that be SQL Server, Dynamics CRM, SharePoint, etc. True, the Microsoft product may not always be the best in a vacuum, but no CIO operates in a vacuum: maintenance and service costs are a huge concern, and there is a lot to be gained by buying from fewer vendors rather than more. In fact, much of Microsoft’s growth over the last 15 years can be traced to Ballmer’s cleverness in exploiting this advantage through both new products and also new pricing and licensing agreements that heavily incentivized Microsoft customers to buy ever more from the company.
Did you read the link? There's actually a lot more evidence than that.

"a reused command-and-control address—176.31.112[.]10—that was hard coded in a piece of malware found both in the German parliament as well as on the DNC’s servers.

Sometimes a postal code is enough, sometimes it will be rejected by carrier APIs, especially in less dense areas like Alaska, where a postal code can span thousands of square miles. Lower 48 should be fine for the most part outside of the Rockies and some parts of the Midwest, but it isn't always obvious to determine. Plus, you get different costs when shipping to business or residential, or single address vs building with multiple addresses, etc.

And weight/dimensions can be determined from a single item but they do not add up linearly with multiple items. Once you've got a 5kg item, adding another may add 5% to the shipping cost. Adding an additional 50g item may add 0%. If it has to ship via air, it could add 5% for a small item, or 500% if it is a large item, independent of weight. Since the first item in your cart typically bears the brunt of the share of shipping cost, they tend to ask for your full cart before estimating shipping, because extrapolating from the first item alone could paint a very misleading picture of how much shipping will cost for multiple items.

There are solutions out there to help with pricing transparency, but they aren't as trivial as you make them out to be and I wouldn't expect a small eCommerce company to know how to do anything outside of directly communicating with carrier APIs.

While I would love more competition in this space, I doubt if MS will offer a native app. They have recently moved Skype to an electron app (basically the website in a wrapper)[0] so I don't expect this to be any different. While this is in alpha (and only for linux), I expect them to move all their other clients (apart from Windows) to this electron app.

Aha. I tried as well.

It works tolerably well, but the hyper-v thing that it runs on is currently my #1 suspect when Windows takes > 30 seconds to connect to any network :-/

It's no problem to use GPL software to develop commercial software. If it were the vast majority of software would be open source as some of the most popular compiler toolchains are primarily or wholly open source.

What you cannot do, however, is modify GPL software, as you're then creating a derivative work which must legally also bear the GPL license.
The blockchain has either proof of work or some signatures attached to it. While git requires you to resolve conflicts manually, a blockchain can resolve them automatically.
Are you seriosuly asking that question?

Justice is supposed to measured and balancing for society as a whole, meted out by an impartial judge and jury of peers.

Revenge is completely subjective and ruled by emotional responses by the aggrieved party. It's almost always going to be more destructive disproportionate than it needs to be.

The last people that should decide the fate of those who have harmed them are the victims. That just leads to pure chaos.

I could decide that if someone threatened my life that I would achieve justice by circumventing law enforcement and the justice system by murdering the person in question plus their whole family, whether they meant it or not. I could state reasons of personal/family honour and whatever other bullshit would justify those actions in my mind. That doesn't make it right, or just. It makes it a response borne of unchecked emotion.

You might say that is okay, but it would quickly lead to pure anarchy if we all followed that ideal. That's why we have a justice system in place that doesn't (or tries not to) focus on revenge.
Can anyone shed some light onto how they are going to be making money now? I know there is some kind of useful info they can derive from letting users voluntarily have their password db's scanned for strength/pw duplication/etc, is there some money to be made selling something derived from that to third parties?
Yes, but I also don't want to pay the individual shipping costs for every item in an order, when shipping them together is cheaper.

That's really sad to hear.. if you think the GNOME 3 UI is buggy, childish, opinionated, and hard to customize (I've yet to get a downloaded theme to work right the first time) Fedora is a non-starter.

Did the media incorrectly implicate the actors in that case?
Do you think it's cheaper to ship products in bulk to a store or ship them individually to residential addresses all over the country?

No sarcasm, I misread the statement (though to be fair, it was his grammatical error). I wonder why he even chimed in? Before his comment in August, the thread was inactive for 1.5 months (and the bug report was unfilled for 4 years).

Usually. There were a lot of lifers there. I left the company about a decade ago and I'd say about 80% of the people I worked with are still there. However, my particular skill set is very adaptable and I found better pay elsewhere. Regardless, I very much miss the engineering culture I experienced there.
I'm using it and it's pretty good. I don't really agree with the scheme of 1. Tricking you into paying something. 2. Feeling guilty for entering $0...but the ui is not bad at all imho.
how do you plug it with your npm tasks?
I've just spent 1h at work (silly me) reading your blog, it is illuminating! I love your writing style, and I can't wait to see the your shell in action! Just the full-parse-before-execution is well worth it, especially when deploying scripts on servers.

If you open source the project, I'd love to try giving you a hand. Anyway, good luck with the project!
> Websites are not giving you the content for free, they are giving it to you with an expectation that you take the ads along with them, or you pay for the subscription.

No they aren't, if that's what they were doing they would present you with a contract stating that. A contract is not something that happens secretly or implicitly and putting a "terms of service" link in small print at the bottom of your website is not a contract. There has to be a meeting of the minds [1] where both parties understand the arrangement.

That's not what happens with ad-driven websites.

> Where do you draw the line there? Is it okay to flip some bits in your bank account and give yourself money because the computer responds letting you? Are you allowed to download paid software for free because someone somewhere served it to you?

No, that would be exploiting a bug on their server, knowingly. Blocking ads or changing styles with Stylish is not exploiting a server bug; your browser says GET / and their server says 200 OK. It really is as simple as that.

What if you allow ads but dont click on them and dont buy their products ? Then you're doubly cheating, because the poor advertiser paid for those ads when you know very well you will not give any business in return. At least with the ads blocked, the advertiser can pay less for the service (ads), which more accurately reflect their true value.

How much money does LetsEncrypt receive from monthly reoccurring donations?
I disagree that paying for the subscription is the ethical thing to do.

The publisher expressly allows the content to be consumed for free - they don't require payment for the content. Therefore it is not unethical to consume that content for free.

That they desire us to view ads is beside the point: we're not obliged to view them, nor is it unethical to choose not to view them.
I suspect you are a minority ad block user, most block ads to not see ads. I agree with your sentiment but frankly it comes off with the same amount of credit as I only torrent content I already purchased. I don't dispute what you do and don't pay for or why you block ads.

I wholeheartedly concur with this ethos, and agree with the principle statement that it is the Language which matters, more than the patterns themselves.

Computer software is a form of literature. The most important thing is how well the language of this corpus persists. That only happens through usage.

Yes, that could be a problem for proof-of-work blockchains. Private blockchains (with different threat models) can use algorithms like PBFT that don't spend appreciable energy.

It may not happen, but many companies believe it could happen. Consequently, they say next to nothing about ex-employees - only the dates of employment. If you're the company being asked for the reference there is no upside in you saying that Joe was fired - why would you want to help another company, and why would you want to risk (however infinitesimal) a law suit. This is commonly defined by policy, simply ask the last company that you worked at what their policy is for references and what data they will reveal.
>adding a bunch of additional fees [...] just makes me feel like I'm being nickel-and-dimed.

On the other hand, when I know the shipping costs are included in the price, it makes me feel like I'm being gouged on larger orders where the shipping cost per item should be lower.

From what we've seen at Mattermost (open source Slack-alternative, https://mattermost.com/) supporting on-premises deployments with an open source community is actually pretty awesome.

We have over a thousand people on our forums helping each other out, people are building installers for Mattermost in Puppet, Chef, Ansible, Docker, etc. (just web search to find them).

We're also getting help writing and updating our deployment docs (https://docs.mattermost.com/).
When I lived in eastern Idaho, geolocation APIs regularly placed my location in Boise, over 300 miles away. They work fine for people in larger cities, but aren't precise outside of that.

I have similar thoughts. I feel the Mac has gone from an environment that was great for developers and creative people to a kitchen appliance that tries to micromanage its users. If there were any viable alternative, I might have switched yesterday (and Windoze doesn't cut it). As it stands, I have to split up: Linux for development, and Mac for the movies, games and email. Slowly migrating away might work better than all in one swoop.

I view the use of the term "blockchain" as a good litmus test as to the speaker's motivation. The word should really only be used to refer specifically to the database structure that is a blockchain. When someone uses the term blockchain to refer to the bitcoin network, bitcoin tokens, or the bitcoin industry or "movement", I suspect that the speaker does so b/c he is uncomfortable saying "bitcoin". He wants to talk about bitcoin, without appearing to endorse the ideals that gave rise to bitcoin. Perhaps he thinks satoshi's approach is misguided, or he eschews satoshi's ideals in favor of making a living from the existing business/state edifice. Plenty of smart people are in this camp, and to them I would charitably allow that they use abuse the term blockchain out of an honest desire to seem less threatening to the uninitiated.
How we grew revenues by 18% per week for 52 weeks
The first part at least sounds like things are working like they are supposed to work. The same thing happens with interest rates. But we wouldn't say interest rates "kneecap" property value, would we? They're just a fact of the market, and mostly just alter where the money flows to. The buyer commits to $1,000/mo in payments- with high interest, the bank gets more and the seller gets less. With low interest, the bank gets less and the seller gets more.

Why is there little incentive to maintain property? Just because it's worth "only" $200k?

First, thanks for your decent reply.

> I thought it was common knowledge that porn drove innovation in tech.

Well, it's a common myth that some people love to repeat. And apparently some people here are very touchy about their favourite myths being challenged.

Your first link appears to be an account of a credit card processor who, in the late 1990s ("early 1990s" in your quote is misleading), did processing for porn sites. The second link is about adult-specific credit card processors from 2001.

All that shows is that, as with every other claim of "innovation" I've ever seen, porn companies started to do what regular businesses were already doing.

Possible areas where porn may have "innovated", however, are the likes of credit card banging and malware/dialers.
I think the key thing is not to sacrifice performance for form. Add all the stickers, GIFs, bots and other fancy features you want. But never let load time get under 200ms. Lots of people talking about how this makes it more broadly applicable but Facebook didn't just beat MySpace on simplicity of use and Farmville access, they also beat them on speed and reliability. Not mutually exclusive either. Keep up the good work.
Yeah, I picked that up from reading the press release[1] that OP had originally included in the comment. What I was surprised to discover was the 404 error page when I clicked the individual links for the different standards. My expectation is that I would have been directed to a site to purchase them.

Your going to have to learn how to cook, and cook well. There is no way around it.

Cooking is a lot like programing, there are general concepts and techniques (functions, algorithms) that translate across all (most) cuisines (that are akin to languages)

Things that will make your life better:

A good set of knives (paring and chefs), learn to sharpen them, and hone them.

A decent set of non stick pans (large and small) these are disposable, the coating always comes off, buy cheep ones (not too cheep) and replace often.

A few pots, and some pans for the oven, a large one for the stove top (stainless for easy cleaning).

Good cutting boards- plastic, flat ones -- to extend the life of your knives.

With tools in hand you need to get some skills, and the best way to do this at home is to master a single dish. Read every recipe you can find, take note of the differences, pay attention to how your cooking it, don't be afraid to turn the heat up or down as you prepare things. The one sin that most people commit is only using the high setting on the microwave and the stove top!

Take copious notes every time you make the dish, what did you change, time/heat/fat/ingredients -- at some point your going to have a perfect version. Only then should you branch out and master another dish. Make sure it is the same style of cooking (Italian, Chinese, Mexican etc...)

Being vegan is hard, but if your willing to eat from every culture you can get by, and almost every culture has things that are accidentally vegan, falafel being a great example!

I can't recommend enough the site http://www.seriouseats.com as they feature quite a few tasty vegan and vegetarian recipes. Since I already brought up falafel, you should read their breakdown on it, and try the recipe: http://www.seriouseats.com/2016/03/the-food-lab-vegan-experi...

Your also going to want to learn about Seitan, aka wheat gluten. As far as meat replacements go, it is tops, but making it is an exercise in endurance. Real food daily has the best recipe for someone who is going to attempt to do this at home, they have a cookbook that you can get the recipe from, and is a worth while investment.
I am not familiar with the area.

Feel free to open a topic in the aforementioned forum, they'll know better .
The biggest keyword in this "ad" is their competitor's brand name.
I don't doubt (or endorse) claims of mafia connections, but I don't see how "recruiting at a strip club" is shady or criminal.
Sure they do. But how this go together with security awareness? We are talking about a different market here and as I've posted somewhere else: sure we can have all that trendy crap in there at some point but please don't move that BEFORE the bigger issues out there. Let's not forget that we are talking about a free app here. If this app is being developed with an eye on monetizing at some point, chances are it will become insecure with that and just join the rows of chat apps out there already covering all that trending features. Which will lead to a different app covering the needs of people who use Signal today because they need secure messaging not another app with dancing puppies.
You have strong points there, and it is indeed difficult or impossible for small eCommerce companies to do the calculations themselves. That being said, how much do carriers charge clients for API calls? Unless it's a ridiculous amount, if I have a complete cart, I should be able to enter the same info used for actual shipping to do a cost calculation without having to sign up for an account or actually start the checkout process.
Ask HN: Have you worked (dev) at a porn company?

I agree entirely. I don't particularly like slack in any case (it's just far too 'busy') though I'm forced to use it for work, and find the 'daily messages' etc completely cloying. This piece, with some of it's blatant mis-speaks (open platform, yeah right) makes me want to give them a good slap.
Doesn't that make it impossible to apply while already employed? If I had to do more than 1 phone interview and 1 onsite I don't think I'd bother.
