Please compare the ideas that are sent out. There is a quantifiable similarity that can only have resulted from him using the same hit process as mine. That level of similarity can't happen by serendipity. But, as I mentioned in the post, it doesn't matter. Competition is good.

Mine:

I work in the eCommerce/re-seller business. In particular I sell products on Amazon. Specifically Amazon FBA.

As my business is scaling up it is becoming more difficult to keep track of what we scoured for product in the field and the costs associated with it. Tracking COGS and the sources to monitor and report would be great.

The software would need to be something mobile so I can put in the costs, source of product and expected profits. It would also need to be linked to Amazon.

Yes I would pay for this software.

Theirs:

I sell vinyl records on eBay, Amazon, Discogs, and Etsy.

I find it time-consuming to list products on each of these different sites.

Software that facilitated the listing and cross-listing of products would save me time and make me more money because I have far too much product on hand and not enough time to list it. Ideally the software could automatically pull info from one listing on one site and populate the other sites for me.

I would pay a monthly service fee for this.

Not centralized, but consolidated: when people all got their news from the same half dozen or so sources, they were a lot more capable of agreeing on basic sets of underlying facts with which issues could be debated, instead of just going through endless cycles of recusals and spin about the facts and their basic interpretation.

Sure, it didn't live up to certain capitalistic ideals, but maybe it turns out that not every domain of human life benefits from existing in a bare knuckle free market.
This is ridiculous.

When your target demographic is composed of people desperate for startup ideas, you should expect this to happen.

There is no shortage of ideas. Those who succeed at this game already have more ideas than they have ambition. Those who would use a service like yours are not likely to succeed.

Here's a choice quote from the NTP FAQ (http://www.ntp.org/ntpfaq/NTP-s-sw-clocks-quality.htm):

Unfortunately all the common clock hardware is not very accurate. This is simply because the frequency that makes time increase is never exactly right. Even an error of only 0.001% would make a clock be off by almost one second per day. This is also a reason why discussing clock problems uses very fine measures: One PPM (Part Per Million) is 0.0001% (1E-6).

There are lots of ways to handle those scenarios.

Deciding where to store your secrets is extra easy if you're in the cloud. In AWS you can use KMS to store it if it's 4kb or less. A cli command or API call can decrypt it for you. If it's larger, you can use a tool such as credstash which lets KMS manage the keys.

If you're in an environment that's using Chef, it can handle them. Ansible has a solution as well.

Or you can use something like Hashicorp Vault, though it requires setting up servers for that purpose.

Once you've decided on one of these tools, it's no problem to script the retrieval of a secret into your deployment mechanism. It will work fine for autoscaling or any other unattended deployment.
From the article (and the end result) it seems the "strategies" you talk about that were rejected include a total rewrite and an abandonment of features and platform support.

You can eliminate vulns and improve stability a lot of ways. Total rewrite is definitely not the best way. Even if you're the best programmer in the world, rewrites often run into old bugs as well as new ones, and require a lot of testing and a lot of repeated effort.

And I can't speak for the other infosec nerds, but for me, name-dropping ESR does the opposite of inspiring confidence in a security-focused project. I wouldn't trust him to secure my shoelaces.

If the old codebase was really bad, perhaps eventual rewrite would have been useful. But what would help existing users more is fixing the existing product so they can upgrade in place and be more secure, and not forcing them to go through a whole product migration cycle just for better security.

I absolutely disagree. Brackets are a big part of the reason the JS version is more readable than the CoffeeScript version, IMO. I don't understand why anyone would think readability would increase with syntactical ambiguity. This isn't even the traditional braces-vs-indentation argument either; I much prefer Python's syntax to CoffeeScript's, and I use both regularly.

For anyone like me that was initially picturing 88 "large" satellites requiring multiple launch vehicles - this was 88 micro satellites: 10cm x 10cm x 30cm from a single launch vehicle.

On one hand it's fascinating to see the miniaturization of satellite technology, while on the other, one has to think about the amount of "junk" floating around our planet, some of it not much larger than a soda can.

Cool stuff. I'm building my own bookmarking service right now with a similar feature set. It supports tags, groups, search.

I've thought a lot about offering it as a service, but I've decided against it for now for a few reasons:

- Pinboard already exists and is super cheap with a ton of features.

- I don't actually want to scale the service to support other users.

- I don't actually want to handle maintenance/support for other users.

- By limiting it to only myself, I can make it work exactly like I want it to and keep the cost really low.
Might be worth considering fronting it with something like Cloudflare. I pay them about £20/month and reckon I could handle 10k hits a day on a t2.micro instance in AWS (in reality I'm actually only getting about 10 - 20 visitors a day myself on the site in question, which I'm quite happy with at the moment due to reasons).

> Script kiddies who don't what what NTP does, only that it's good for DDoSing? What what that about..?

There were several large reflection issues in ntpd in the past few years which led it to become a popular DDoS method. Reflection is the big winner lately.

No need for a botnet, just scan UDP services, find ones which reply with large packets or a series of packets and then spoof your IP (easy from many VPS and dedicated server providers) and flood out requests for those large packets.

You can get amplification of 100x as much traffic with only a small request and it's quite challenging to trace back to the original source due to the spoofed packets.
> I don't see how that is open to interpretations,

I can see a few things the author might be trying to convey. The most interesting would probably be "[There are cases where t]here's no observable difference [...]". I think the alternative I suggested ("[...] produce a result while pretending not to.") is better supported as the authors probable intent (while being a stronger statement and correspondingly less likely to be accurate).

In any case, pragmatics + charity should tell us someone wasn't asserting we can't tell the difference between a person saying "I can't" and a person saying "I won't", and if you can't figure out what else they might have meant the first thing to do is ask.

- Current TopHat Full Stack Dev PEY here -

I'm not sure what your basis of a bad reputation is, but, I've been working at TopHat for the past 10+ months as part of their engineering team and it's been my favourite internship thus far (I've had 2 previous internships in development). As far as I know, myself and one other UofT student are the first PEY's to have been hired, and our current opinions of the company are quite high.

To highlight some extraneous comments regarding mentorship, it should be known that the teams are sized to about 5-8 people, with a team lead & product manager facilitating each team. Bi-weekly one-on-one's are in place to catch up with your respective lead and talk about your experience thus far, goals for the future, and really providing a basis of mentorship and growth. Higher ups such as the VP's are always accessible throughout the day to chat; we're pretty open.

If you have further questions, feel free to comment below and I'll get back to you ASAP! ^^
C/C++ callbacks are fairly different in practice than what the article is talking about. You might like callbacks in JavaScript. You might really like promises -- no wild goose chase to track down the chain, because promises chain things explicitly and make async code look more synchronous.

What's most interesting about your point is that what the article suggests -- naming and de-nesting callbacks -- is in a way what you're warning against. By naming it and physically moving it, execution that was contained within a single block of code is now jumping around, and can move to other places where you have to go looking.

Even though it's considered an anti-pattern for good reasons, there are some advantages to nested callbacks.

I updated the article with the following clarification at the top:

I use Andromeda equivalently with Fuchsia in this article. Andromeda could refer to combining Android and Chrome OS in general, but it's all the same OS for phones, laptops, etc. - Fuchsia. I make no claims about what the final marketing names will be. Andromeda could simply be the first version of Fuchsia, and conveniently starts with "A." Google could also market the PC OS with a different name than for the mobile OS, or any number of alternatives. I have no idea. We'll see.

Well if they can get rid of the $200+ textbooks that you have to buy (and never use) to get web access that would be great. Almost all material in school textbooks can be found online for free, it really makes no sense to require students to spend anything of $20 on coursebooks.

> What stops any such institution fleshing out the details, then only showing those that support their narrative?

Nothing. I certainly wasn't suggesting that these large newspapers are infallible or immune from bias. That doesn't alter the fact that the reporting they do is important, though.
> I could talk but not communicate; which means that I could convey facts, but I couldn't strike up a conversation with a stranger, or make a joke.

I was born here and went to a university with a large percentage of international students (the highest percentage in the US? At least at one point.). I'm extremely introverted and oddly found it easier to talk to international students than American ones. Maybe they could tell that I was as uncomfortable as they were.

> I can only imagine how hard it must be for Chinese/Korean etc. students.

In the experience of some of my friends, it took them 4+ years (they finished their undergrad and started grad school) before they started talking to non-Chinese/Korean students. Though it's possible the science/math kids aren't a representative sample.
It sounds like you're implying that the article blames the ban, which contradicts the context around that first quote:

> Given the timing, he and others suspect the cause is President Donald Trump’s anti-immigrant rhetoric during the campaign and his election, rather than the White House’s 27 January travel ban against seven Muslim-majority countries

Many graduate programs have application deadlines in January, which would leave sufficient time to consider Trump's immigration rhetoric after his November victory.

Right.
I think a single platform for all our devices: mobile, tablet, desktop, etc, is a mistake. The word platform means more than just the OS and includes the entire L&F/experience with the UI.

I think a single OS for them all is fine.

Consider gnome+linux vs android+linux. They're both linux, and they're not the same platform.

Hey HN! I'm Joe. I'm a freelance copywriter and I'm often hired by startups (and their employees) to write better job descriptions, job ads, and cover letters.

I imagined this as a fun tool to help early-stage startups get the attention of their rivals' employees. I use a mixture of targeted FB ads, funny emails, Snapchat filters, and some other fun methods in order to help get the attention of people you want to hire.

The main value of a tool like this is 1) having better copy, since most job descriptions are dreadfully boring and un-enticing, 2) it's one of the few ways to court people who already have jobs, and 3) I think many people would prefer someone at arm's length handling the dark arts of poaching.

Let me know what you think!

ALSO: if you’re an individual looking to be “poached”, I will write you a cover letter for free (up to 10 people on HN). As a copywriter, I’ve written many of my friends’ and helped improve their salaries by $100,000s. Just comment here with your email and I’ll be in touch :)

Feminism at it's core is about equal treatment of the sexes. You aren't anti-feminism if you believe that is a valid goal. Some identify themselves as feminists but don't align with the core goal and take it way further in the other direction. They also might do things that hinder the core goal of feminism but you can't equate them and the larger idea. I believe you are against what those people are doing but not against the true goal. Saying you are anti-feminism does not clearly identify your position and what you are really against.
This completely invalidates the headline! Go study in Japan or anywhere, and you will see that foreign students mostly hang out with each other. Certainly their close friends will be fellow foreign students. This is mostly because local students already have an established friend group.

Besides, many are on short exchange programmes. How close friends can you really become during a 1-2 year exchange? How many of those 40% had just arrived on the last couple of months?

Quite the contrary - it's alive and well! Just under a different company and/or name.

Flight Simulator X Steam Edition is available on the Stream store.[1] It's the FSX you remember, but upgraded a bit. It's published by Dovetail Games now, since Microsoft sold the "consumer grade" version of their Flight Simulator to them a few years back.

Prepar3d[2] is owned by Lockheed Martin (the defense contractor/aircraft manufacturer), and is what was called ESP when Microsoft owned it. ESP was Microsoft's "professional" Flight Simulator, with enhanced mechanics and military support (missiles, bombs, etc). It was meant to be used in real world simulators used by the military and FAA certified flight schools. However, ESP was sold to Lockheed Martin, and you can pickup a copy of the rebranded Prepar3d which takes FSX to a new level of realism.

I personally fly Prepar3d these days.

It's interesting that JS is still trying to figure out ways to make callback-based asynchronicity less-painful while Go managed to skirt the issue altogether. Go is readable, asynchronous and parallelizable largely without callbacks of any kind. Of course Go has its own problems, but I think they're largely orthogonal to its async story (i.e., JS could adopt Go's async strategy without adopting Go's more controversial features).

Who "choose" OO 20 years ago and (much more importantly) why?

I'm going to ignore the social component... that said, we work in a wonderful profession where the world is changing completely every decade and many design decisions from the previous generation make no sense anymore. The business case for developing your application in COBOL rather than Common Lisp may have been sound 20 years ago, but today many of the reason why you didn't choose lisp are invalid (e.g., garbage collection takes milliseconds rather than seconds).

Note that this is not the case in more mature fields such as construction.
