> 3. Information that is merely private in nature.
> Cloudflare is focusing on the first two items. The third one is hard to quantify; ...there's not much that can be done about this kind of disclosure (beyond scrubbing caches which they're doing anyway). Also, it's difficult to automatically identify this type of content...

I have some pretty fundamental moral issues with this position. Cloudflare is measuring the risk that you were affected by something they can fix, not measuring the risk that you were affected by something you consider important. They are absolutely downplaying the importance of all of this private information: saying "this isn't to downplay" is like adding "we have no affiliation with" at the bottom of a massive trademark violation: it means nothing. That something is difficult to measure and might be impossible to fix it does not somehow make it unimportant.

Let's translate this: we find that some company has been dumping a bunch of random chemicals in our water supply. They respond with an attempt to make us not be concerned, but they concentrate their analysis on a handful of toxins that can be "corrected" with an antidote or a chelation or some other form of direct mitigation in the water itself, while giving lip service to something which merely increases your cancer risk and carefully not mentioning the stuff that will just make you violently ill for a couple days, as it is difficult to know what will cause that, it is a dosage mediated effect, and they can't fix it.

Meanwhile, people keep reporting that they are measuring the water coming out of their tap and keep finding junk in it, and some of the stuff they are finding would make people sick if they drank it. Are you seriously telling me that you think this kind of statement is legitimate?

I am going to maintain: these Cloudflare headers are themselves private information. Even if you ignore Authorization headers, just knowing what URLs people are browsing is something that we would normally consider to be a serious problem... I mean, all BEAST leaked was the size of the files you were downloading, and people take that seriously: the fact that there are even worse potential problems shouldn't distract us from the base issue.

There are deaf groups that believe that having cochlear implants is unnatural, and that the government needs to enforce compliance with ADA rules for people who could technically get permanent hearing. Now, not all deaf people are curable, but it's still insane to me that 10,000 people could lose access to something because one person insists that they, too, get access.

> And saying that some people don't like to take responsibility for their own shit is, well, true?

I find this argument laughable in the contexts it is usually brought up.

Travis has had a much more gifted existence than many. His upbringing is publically available. Educated family and access lots of others, including a number of people Travis relies on to drive for Uber, did not have these things.

All of them supplied by a culture around him. A culture that protects the haves and shits on the have nots. Our economy demands for a very specific reason: if we strove for equality, the powers that be would not be the powers that be.

To ever say these people are some mythical "self-made" person is utter nonsense.

It sounds good in a vacuum, but reality is not a vacuum.

If Uber drivers took responsibility for their own shit, there wouldn't be Uber drivers. That TK can claim to be successful on his own given this is just more evidence he truly does need to grow up.

PINATA | Senior Frontend and Backend Engineers | New York, NY | ONSITE

PINATA

We're building a marketplace for field marketing. What's that? Ever notice the people working a booth at Comic Con, or demoing an app at SXSW, or pouring a sample of whisky, and wonder, "what is that job and how did they get it?" That job is "field marketing", and how they got it: craigslist.

Almost a third of all marketing dollars go into field marketing, and it's managed with broken spreadsheets and scribbled down phone numbers. We're fixing it. We launched only a few months ago and just signed some major Fortune 500 clients. We push them live in a few weeks, and we've just finished raising our seed round. The runway looks great, and our team has a lot of experience in this field. It's a great time to join!

TECHNOLOGY

We like Facebook's OSS. It's well grounded in solid computer science fundamentals, and we feel those qualities will allow their frameworks to persist longer than most, so we're happily using React / React Native, GraphQL and Relay.

We also like the impact functional programming is having on JavaScript, and very happy to have Facebook's Flow for static type annotations. We're over-the-moon with ES6 (or whatever you want to call it) and looking forward to the new stuff in ES2017.

We like functional programming. We also like type systems. We're not quite advocates for Haskell, but we see it becoming more viable with each passing year, and while we wait for its eventual viability we're quite happy with Scala.

Our GraphQL API is backed by Scala, and we've bought into the ethos that GraphQL subtly preaches: CQRS/EventSourcing. We've built this largely with the Typelevel stack (cats/fs2/http4s/circe/eff/shapeless/doobie), and it's running on top of AWS Lambda and Kinesis.

CULTURE

We all attend and run meetups, organize conferences (http://www.nescala.org/) and read lots of papers, so this intellectual churn is constant within our tech community, and we are constantly looking for new people to bring something we haven't seen before.

INTERESTED?

> That wasn't what I was trying to communicate at all. My intended meaning was that women—by wanting to look good, or to seem happy, or to put on one of the numerous other faces people expect women to present to the world—are forced to pay attention to their own bodies.

I misunderstood that, you're right.

About your wider point: you seem to put a lot of importance on societal roles ("expected to", "narratives"), and I don't think much of this (if at all) is caused by society rather than self-directed. You're arguing that women are more physically nurturing than men (which could well be true), I'm arguing that it's inconsequential as to how to make men more self-nurturing.
"Now" still seems like a very good answer. I doubt that if we stopped emissions today, we'd see any positive changes for decades, and that's if we're very very lucky.
I see, if this is private network then this is a nice simple solution for caching. We plan to implement S3-caching in minio [https://minio.io] (i.e it will authenticate the requests and also do caching) in case you'd be interested for public facing caching proxies.
There's good surf, for one thing.
Don't worry, the continuous state of conflict and social/political upheaval will be a handy distraction from all of that.

You missed the major point where we're strictly improving and not thinking we're more available. In fact, I assume that we're less available, hence why we have a fallback from our local to S3 directly since I assume our single server is going to die more often than S3.

Automated incremental deployment?

Ok, slower road to total outage.

Automated incremental that will halt itself or rollback based on reliability metrics?

Ok, getting there.

Wait, was the local proxy load tested?

Was it load tested when one of your data centers is down and everything is doing 30% more work?

How does authorization and access control interact with the proxy? Does it first check authorization with S3 and cache the result, use a parallel ACL, or just allow access to anything by anyone?

This does not give me a feeling of having any control whatsoever over the situation, but I'd love to hear what you think the realistic options are.

Agreed. I don't know why people post it as monotype or why HN still renders it so you have to side-scroll. If "that's how you got it", it takes five seconds to fix. Here you go:

Travis: So we are reducing the number of black cars in the next few months.

Fawzi: It’s good.

Travis: You probably saw some email.

Fawzi: I saw the email [that says] it starts in May. But you’re raising the standards and dropping the prices.

Travis: We’re not dropping the prices on Black.

Fawzi: But in general.

Travis: In general, but we have competitors. Otherwise we’d be out of business.

Fawzi: Competitors? You had the business model in your hands, you could have the prices you want but you choose to buy everybody a ride.

Travis: No, no no. You misunderstand me. We started high-end. We didn’t go low-end because we wanted to. We went low-end because we had to because we’d be out of business.

Fawzi: But people are not trusting you anymore. Do you think people will buy cars anymore? ... I lost $97,000 because of you. I'm bankrupt because of you. You keep changing every day. You keep changing every day.

Travis: Hold on a second. What have I changed about Black?

Fawzi: You changed the whole business! You dropped the prices.

Travis: On Black? Bullshit.

Fawzi: We started with $20.

Travis: You know what, some people don't like to take responsibility for their own shit. They blame everything in their life on somebody else. Good luck!

Fawzi: Good luck to you too, I know that you aren’t going to go far.
Yep, it's definitely possible to go this route as well. We just didn't have to.
The plot doesn't really have much to do with computers? It was perhaps the first anime to make a splash in the US, and it is worth seeing, but I don't think I'd use "hacker" or "cyberpunk" to describe it.

> There is no such thing as "informal advice" from a lawyer, the same where there is no such thing as a "pick up game" with an NBA player.

The rest of your post is fascinating, and it made me understand this disclaimer much better; but surely this analogy is misleading.

If I've understood you correctly, there is, legally (or perhaps even by definition?), no such thing as informal advice from a lawyer; but surely it is only conventional that you will probably be in a pick-up game with an NBA player, as no regulation or law prohibits it. (Indeed, by analogy with any field whose practitioners tend to be passionate about it, I would assume that it is quite common for NBA players to play pick-up games with one another.)

Or perhaps, as someone ignorant of all things sports, I have missed the point of the analogy.
Cyberpunk is a culture, a style and an attitude as much as a skillset. Fiction can convey these things, sometimes better than truth can.
Why do you think that this is a joke?

Elon has stated in all seriousness that he personally puts global warming at above a 1% chance of being a species-threatening event for us, and that we need to become a multi-planetary species to reduce the odds of extinction.

He doesn't think that wiping out our species is a likely or even very probable. Just high enough that there is no better way that he can spend his time than trying to address and mitigate the problem.
What makes you think any arbitrary real number qualifies as a “floating point number”?

I have never seen the term used in anything like that context.

To me, the term “floating point number” is about number representation, not number identity. It is an inherently finite quantity in every instance I’ve ever seen.

Examples of floating point numbers: The sexagesimal cuneiform 42 25 35 written on the Babylonian tablet YBC 7289; 3.1415 × 10⁰; 1.010101010101₂ >> 2.

Not examples of floating point numbers (in my opinion): 1/√2; π, 1/3.

> Also, GitHub having a proeminent "fork" button can be seen as an invitation to violate copyrights, making the service somewhat responsible.

What about simply not having a visible 'fork' button for Repository's without a license? IANAL but a supposed automated license grant to Github doesn't sound like very convincing legal rights for use of software (even if the forking itself is legal)?

>> Is the theory here that this negates FOSS licenses, over-riding copyleft terms with permissive terms?

I was under the impression that Copy-Left licenses weren't "over-ridable" at all. That is the original author of the content could grant Github a parallel license but most e.g. GPLed projects have multiple contributors and any grant to Github in violation of their CLA's wouldn't stand.

Thanks for the questions. My apologies for the slow response, HN is throttling my comments. Here we go:

1. I'm no lawyer, but we did confirm with the state public records office that we can charge for this -- so yes, selling this data is legal. I think this is true for other public data sets as well, considering the numerous businesses that pull public records data, munge, and resell (e.g., background checks).

2. The rationale for charging for it was simple: the data in its raw form requires processing that our customers can't afford to do. If you're a retail store, hiring a programmer or even Excel-savvy analyst is too expensive. These businesses are happy to pay a fee to access this data.

3. Pricing: we spoke with numerous potential customers when developing the idea and product. Pricing is a part of the product, and was something we tested by asking for their tolerance.
At the time, this is true. One of the N64's primary limitations was its suboptimal microcode. It wasn't until too late in the console's lifecycle that studios like Factor 5 and Rare really showed its potential with their own custom microcode.

As no one has mentioned it in the comments, the belief that this is concerning is related to the "Clathrate gun hypothesis"[1].

Essentially, low temperatures have allowed vast quantities of methane and carbon dioxide containing compounds to accumulate for millennia. If the temperatures rise above a critical threshold, a positive feedback loop would exist between temperatures and global warming.

Positive feedback loops are scary.
