Exactly. And hence the giant shift: the valuable distribution (aka classifieds) went to specialized sites, and no longer to newspapers. Newspaper business models were screwed online from the onset.
No. But if there aren't many, they aren't long, and are all human readable (like in this article), the penalty after gzip is negligible.
Well, I think some of this can attributed to personal preference. Each of the use cases you described can be accomplished via e-mail or other electronic communications. Other than a wedding invite or two every year, I receive no other personal mail. This didn't require any special technical skills, many organizations actually encourage you to setup paperless accounting when you sign up for a new account.
Honest question: is this the type of material that should be leaked? Is there an overriding good to revealing this document to the public?

Are you saying my observation isn't valid because it may descend into a non-sensical debate? If we are throwing around fallacies, I have one too then.

If it helps answer the question, while most people say "you don't look that fat...", I'm technically still "clinically obese", and I used to weight 30 pounds more than I do now... so, yeah: I like food ;P. I also live in California, and thereby ;p have tons of friends who have random dietary restrictions, so it is fun to be able to know about random alternative ingredients.

I once bought every single kind of "alternative milk" (soy, rice, almond, cashew, etc.), trying multiple brands of each, in order to determine that the only one I like is Blue Diamond brand unsweetened almond milk. This was actually an insanely high-value investment, and one I've been able to occasionally give as recommendations to friends who were very happy.

But yeah; I mean, the only thing it has classically not been considered a "geeky" thing to actually spend hours looking for is clothing, and I'd argue that, minus "most people don't see my food choices but they do see my clothing choices (which is why clothing is a "normal" thing to care about), some of the effects are the same: you get some esoteric knowledge, you can occasionally impress someone you go on a date with, and it provides some level of variety to find and try new things.
Text, and some basic CSS to create a nice, readable style. What also helps is developing the CSS/HTML so that the reader mode in browsers can be triggered and used to read your content - now users can essentially make the experience fit their own requirements using a built in browser feature.
Sure, but it's fucking obvious and didn't need to be pointed out.

Look at the terrible thread it spawned.
I'm vocal about this because the concept of "flight risk" is a very old one, particularly in consulting land.

The premise behind flight risk money is that people might not be interested in optimizing their salary by constantly switching jobs, especially because they might really like their current job. But a lot of people have a short list of jobs that they would be interested in if money weren't a factor; many employees (maybe most) aren't in their absolute ideal job, but are balancing money and work life. When you give those people lots of additional money, you change that balance.

This isn't complicated, right? A pretty large group of people (1) like their current job, and (2) would like to start or join a new company.

That's just not the same as what happens with executives. Executives are not waiting for their big break so that they can start a new thing.

Ask HN: How could one monetize a small maker space?
I don't think the medium of today is what the intend to charge money on, and it may even be possible that they intentionally made it worse , to differentiate their paid product.

But :

What if their product is about amazing curation on the consumer side ?

And on the writer side - it promises writers access to better readers ? for example, if i'm a professional and i wrote a great article about some industry, i'll get more relevant people(so i'll market my idea more effectively), i'll get a higher share of relevant people(and hence the discussion will be much higher quality), and i'll get a better chance to connect to highly relevant individuals ?
I completely agree with the basic sentiment of this article. Far too many sites lead with massive images and huge javascript frameworks just to serve what could be a few kilobytes of text.

That said, I did not go as far as this author when designing my personal blog[1], I considered the following tradeoffs worth the slight cost:

* I didn't inline images or CSS. I can see the appeal but I don't believe it is really worth it unless you have relatively small amounts of CSS. In theory HTTP2 is supposed to help here as well, and on really slow connections inlining can slow things down as the browser is forced to download the inlined stuff instead of progressively displaying the page as it can.

* I ended up deciding that the custom font I wanted to use was worth the cost. I thought hard about it though and would perhaps decide against it if I was designing the site again.

* You can drive yourself insane trying to minimize traffic for images. Should you try to serve 2x images for retina displays? Small images for mobile devices? In the end I just serve the same images for everybody and minimize the use of images overall. It works for me because I don't have a lot of need for splashy pictures.

* I avoided any type of social media button or plugin, they tend to make additional requests back to the mothership. Very few people actually liked or +1ed anything on my old blog anyway, but people with better blogs might find the trade-off worth it.

First, finding useful things to do with all those military people outside of wartime is a major issue especially when they need to suddenly stop doing that during a war. Second, a lot of civil infrastructure has military implications. EX: It's hard to make a dam you can't take out with explosives, but you can do a lot of things down stream to make destroying it less important.

So, as a bonus it keeps the organization's skills up to date.

Is this anywhere downloadable? Looks really impressive.

It would be really cool if this could be controlled with two apps. One on a smartphone in the box, one as a cardboard monitor. Or is it already like that?
Not only that, but they presumably have never ridden on a train before.

Every Amtrak train I've been on (which, of course, is not the model of efficiency) takes on the order of two or three minutes for most intermediate station stops, if not less. The train stops, people leave, new passengers enter, and it starts rolling again. Stowing/gathering belongings, getting seated, lining up at the exits, and ticketing is all done while the train is in motion. It's not like having a flight layover.
I use it for lots of stuff.

Lets go threw it. Yubikey supports a number of different 2FA workflows. It supports TOTP (together with a phone), HOTP, Yubico OTP (that is there own standard based on HOTP) and of course most importantly U2F. U2F the new and improved 2FA standard that gives you interesting things like phishing protection.

It can also be used to issue a static password, and it can also be used in a ChallangeResponse mode (you send something it and it will get hashed). Both of these can be used to do decryption while booting for example.

Now lets get to the more advanced stuff. Yubikey is both a GPG Smartcard and a PIV Smartcard. Essentially this allows you plug in your Yubikey and then automatically your GPG and SSH keys will appear as if they are on the system. If your program, for example Thunderbird or SSH, tries to use the private key, it will require a PIN.

This allows you to have no key material on your computer. If you are hacked the attacker has no access to your private keys (and hopefully thanks to 2Fa not to many of your accounts). Even if you lose the keys themselfs your keys will probably not leak.

Depending on your situation and security needs you will want this stick either always plugged in your machine, or you want to carry a stick around on your keychain.

As for how to set it up, Yubico has lots of documentation.

It isn't. Syrian refugees are barred indefinitely. All immigration from countries on the famous list of 7 is suspended for 90 days, and then may be resumed if they are able to come up with adequate vetting procedures.

I think this kind of subtext is sorely needed.
Since nobody here screamed "NO!" about anything, I'd appreciate it if you took a moment to retract this.
i edited my original comment because it didn't come out right. I already read the article before, but for me the solution would be an dynamic system that only serves whats possible. For simple static sites this should be not too complicated.

Having to use webpages like we are in the 90s again doesn't seem like a good solution, or at least i don't like it (of course the opposite is also not exactly successful. AMP is being forced upon everybody for a reason).
> This is a nice example of ‘premature optimization’ but I do hope that the users of the blog like the end result.

Is it really premature? You already had a blog that worked, saw a need (or challenged yourself?), and acted. Sure, this might have been a bit overboard, but I think that it was the right time for this optimization (not premature).

> Optimizing a thing like this is likely a bad investment in time but it is hard to stop doing a thing like this if you’re enjoying it and I really liked the feeling of seeing the numbers improve and the wait time go down.

You did a good job. And I like seeing those numbers go down, too!
You misinterpret the statement. It is about finding the 'I' wherever it may hide.
I would prefer to see the money spent on improving Caltrain. It really is not a viable option for a lot of people. South of SJ Diridon, the trains only run 3x in the morning and 3x in the evening and they require you to basically wake up at 5 or 6 AM depending on the train you want to catch. A lot of tech workers don't come into the office until after 10 AM.

The high speed rail won't really help people already living in Silicon Valley except for the rare few who live near downtown San Jose and plan to work in SF (or vice versa).

And yet, they are the ones who will bear the inconvenience. The proposed plans I have seen will have the train elevated 60 ft in the air, it's about 70-80 ft total from my bedroom window and the train will travel 150 mph several times an hour at around 100 dB. Additionally, they will be narrowing a major road that is 2 lanes in each direction to 1 lane in each direction to make room for the train. Which is weird, because the Caltrain tracks are just another 30 feet away so not sure why they don't just build it above that.

There was some talk of a proposal to reimburse home owners due to the loss of value to their homes if this goes through. Based on the proposal I was looking at they showed a $100K to $200K loss of property value if the train goes through.

If I actually wanted to take the train, it would take me 20-45 minutes to get to the train station in San Jose even though I am already in San Jose.

I'm really disappointed in how impractical this is for the majority of people who live and work in SF bay area and the level of cost and inconvenience it will cause.
I was also unable to do this, but I tried earlier today and it worked.

You have to have TOTP and Backup keys. Maybe this is a recent change.

> Are you maybe using the term "test vectors" differently than we are?

I don't think so. Check out the test suite in my tarball, there are files named "vectors", with sets of inputs and expected outputs.

In addition, I have written consistency checks for all constructions (encryption-decryption roundtrip yields the original plaintext, legitimate messages are accepted, forgeries are rejected…)

I feel I should do more, but I'm not sure what exactly.
That only seems to matter if you're trying to off people. I just want them to not be born.
> I would say we have a demonstrated ability of seeing the big picture, and a pretty good track record of making it work.

alternative explanation, given for the sake of argument:

we have a terrible ability to see the big picture, but have come up with some ingenious constructions where the small picture of each component in the system is correctly calibrated so the big picture outcome is successful. as you yourself pointed out, the supply chains are so complex that nobody involved understands all of it.

now, how would we go about distinguishing between which of these possible interpretations is correct?

thought experiment goes like this: suppose the big picture requires that some actors in the system do not receive satisfactory treatment in their local context, and that the only benefits those actors receive will be indirect, as benefits accrued to other actors in the system, but not to adjacent actors. will those actors still agree to participate or not?
His point, which is correct, is that you'll persistently lose access to your server anyways, because a backdoored SSH client is almost as bad as a compromised key. I use a Y4 for SSH, but it's good to be clear-eyed about the limitations.

There will almost certainly be some reduction (unless soda becomes a Veblen good, which seems unlikely but not impossible) the question is how much the price elasticity is. I found a scientific paper[1] that suggest that under some ideal conditions I am not sure apply to reality a 10% tax means 10% less less consumption.

However what do they then consume? A switch from diet cola to juice would be bad from a sugar perspective and a switch to milk would be bad from a caloric perspective. Sparkling water is better from both perspectives but it is worse for your teeth than regular water [2] plain tea seems mixed [3] but realistically would you expect most people to switch to plain tea or tea with tons of sugar?

My complaint was with the wording and generalization. "Not everyone has/needs a postal address" is true, "you do not need a postal address" is not - living in a big city, I don't get mail that's even slightly mislabeled. And yes, that's a nitpick, but I was mostly objecting to a sweeping statement with a Twitter link that doesn't clarify much.

(As for the specific question, postal addressing is fascinating. Someone in my family has an unusable address with an alphanumeric house number, and Amazon won't ship to it. And in the last one of these threads, someone mentioned living in a country which uses standardized directions-from-landmark as a formal address!)
It's very easy to navigate sites programmatically including script execution:

The immunity must be limited to sites that are neutral, in the same way that non-political religious organizations are tax-exempt. Why? Because to claim that a site isn't responsible for a user's content is fine, until the site starts editing, censoring or weighting certain points of view. When the site loses its neutrality it ceases to be a conduit of content and instead becomes content. Indemnification from liability for a specific point-of-view is, I feel, an abridgment of free speech and I believe it is unconstitutional.
I think the implication is that a transformation won't be reversible if you don't know exactly what was applied?

Like, I've had the situation of seeing a poorly-marked name string and going "I think that's 'Last, First' formatting, but I'm really not certain..." Or if you do any formatting change you'll get bizarre problems like apostrophes becoming directional quotes.

Another comment on this article actually shows this isn't true: Comodo offers free S/MIME certificates. (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13635591)

I think it's more important people are informed about what their activities might appear like to law enforcement than what actual terrorists are going to have to do to cover up their tracks.

Many would-be terrorists seem to only take casual precautions to avoid getting caught. Maybe, like so many criminals, they think they're better than others who have been caught.

It's come out again and again that a lot of these attacks have been planned with nothing more than email, Facebook and unencrypted text messages. There's just too much information out there to sift through and find all the true positives.

If they actually cared about operational security they'd read up on how spies do it. That stuff is pretty much public knowledge if you spend time researching.
