>>Sites went offline for days if not weeks because of hardware failure -- some never came back because they didn't back up correctly. S3 went offline for five hours, but didn't lose a single bit of data.

S3 going offline for five hours probably caused orders of magnitude more damage. The reason is simple: the stakes are higher today than they were 20 years ago. Back then the overwhelming majority of the business in most companies was conducted on paper and in person. Losing a website for a few days, or even a few weeks, wasn't a big deal. Today though? There are so many companies that host business-critical operations and infrastructure in the cloud that it's hard to fathom how they are coping with being taken offline for several hours in the middle of the week.

Your rhetoric is very emotional, and you want to use "abuse" a s an excuse to ban people who simply disagree with you ("anti-feminists", really?). I don't think people who share your views should be given the power to control discourse[0]. It's funny that you insult the "alt-left" ("bernie bros") when many would define the alt-left as the regressive left, in other words those who want to ban people simply because they disagree, like you're trying to do.

[0]: especially since you could argue that Twitter is the #1 platform for political discourse in the US, and is therefore vital for free speech (not as a legal obligation, but moral principle).
I feel like we could educate so many young people simply by removing content - which would inspire a stubborn person like me to regain access and view it. I'm not saying the work put into creating these videos was owed, or that the university owes this access to the public - but certainly the world would be a better place for it. I thought that was their overarching goal.

Yeah, my ballpark estimate from my portfolio (~50 investments in my fund + ~20 personal angel investments) is that 20-25% dilution is common at seed stage. Occasionally it's 15%, which is great. Occasionally you also see 30+%, and that's pretty bad.

Seattle, WA, ONSITE ONLY

We're building a communication hub for manufacturers and retailers, so that they can exchange all kinds of information related to the goods being traded. This hub is gradually taking over all other communication methods such as Excel/FTP/Email/Dropbox towards Cloud/Mobile. Having possession of the data also allows for new products to be created, such as BI. We're aiming for scale of tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of manufacturers.

We're looking for a principal engineer, a prolific coder who also knows when to slow down and go over things with a fine-tooth comb. It's an end-to-end engineering job - from studying the current user workflow, to modeling the new workflow, to creating new design and coordinating it with rest of the team, to coding, and then to verifying that the new workflow lives up to its mission.

There is no shortage of work:

- E-Commerce integration
- EDI integration
- Mobile development
- Interaction design
- Generating print material
- Payment processing
- User analytics (for our customers to track *their* customers)
- Email campaign orchestration and tracking (ditto)
- Data visualization (ditto)
- Logging
- C# business logic
- Modern web front-end, greenfield, likely React or Vue.js

About us:

- Opportunities: A huge area of responsibility. Pick two if you dare.
- Family-friendly: Sane hours, generous vacations.
- Benefits: Health.
- Financial security: Enough pay so you don't have to worry about it.
- A stake in success: Meaningful stock option grant. Really.
- Profitable

Can you get things done? Please contact denis@amptab.com

DragonFly BSD kernel – Improve exec performance
I read you. My take is that a single 1080TI should suffice for your needs; 690 to 980 was a bit of a sidegrade, and the 1080TI being roughly 2x the 980 with many added benefits starting with the huge increase of RAM.

You'll probably wonder if your PC is still there, with noise levels likely to plummet. My 980 SLI certainly mounts a racket under gaming load.
The problem is that the filter still uses the map when REMOTE is checked. This forces us to scroll around the map to view remote jobs.

IMO, it's not what the left is doing that's the problem, though I'm not a fan of it. The problem boils down to:

The repeal of campaign finance-> Lots of state legislatures going hard Republican-> New laws to limit voting rights and more gerrymandering

You can argue that one side needs to stop tone policing all you want, but the reality is that candidates are losing in states they used to win because the people who were voting for them aren't allowed to vote anymore. [edit] Most people who vote aren't listening to most liberals or whoever in their day-to-day conversations about this stuff anyway.
I put this elsewhere in the thread, but you can also set up bi-directional S3 replication. I haven't used it in production, but in theory it would mean you can continue write operations during failure. And those writes that are committed to the primary but not replicated when the region goes down wouldn't be lost, they'd come back up once recovery is complete (S3's SLA for data integrity is a lot stricter than it's uptime). Whether or not that is acceptable depends a lot on your use case.
This seems totally pointless, but also quite cool :)

Xming/VcXsrv seem to be working pretty well for me and I get to keep my windows desktop.

It uses the new Windows 10 Linux subsystem (WSL) to run your window manager of choice on a Windows port of the Xserver (pray for the soul of whoever ported that).

Then it neatly integrates that into the standard Windows login.

A classic comment from the CEO of a startup I worked at during an all hands after a new round of funding, someone asked about dilution. The CEO (with a straight face) said, "you weren't diluted, the share price increased." The question was from one of the early employees. It was one more item that made a few of us who were already fed up about a few things leave before even vesting.

I'm working on a SaaS in this very space - helping businesses to secure their customer details and identify data breaches early, so that you can be proactive in your mitigation and cleanup.

I am working to get the idea validated, so if anyone would like to get in touch, I'd love to chat (be it with fellow SaaSs, or startups etc).

My email is in my profile.
Agree. I taught myself in order to teach a young relative, and it really improved my ability to handle mental calculations at the simple end of the mathematical operational spectrum.

What was really weird was doing the abacus work, moving beads, all in chunks of 5 or 10, and then looking at the final results without any preconceived notion of what the results were. Totally fresh eyes as I counted the final set of beads.

The manual movement was one thing, but the motion didn't cause me to visualize "numbers" as I understand them. Completely separate pathway to the same answer.

Random Thoughts: First Pass Analysis of a White Dragon/Xeus Lunar Sortie Mission
Common sense approach: like the name says, NaN is not a number. The question was about floating point numbers, not floating point values. So I suppose we shouldn't count NaN. Further, -0 (an arbitrarily small number less than 0) doesn't logically fall in the range [0, 1], so it is excluded.
Rename .zip to .zpi or .izp or pzi, ... then it works.

U.S. courts have repeatedly (see eg. US vs. Nosal & US vs. Drew, both linked in the pages you cited) ruled that ToS or acceptable-use violations are not criminal offenses under the CFAA. In their opinions, they explicitly argued that criminalizing breaches of contract would violate widespread public knowledge of the difference between a contract & a law, and would make the CFAA unenforceably vague. It's pretty likely that Aaron would've been acquitted had the case gone to trial.

> And transferring files is definitely part of what email was built to do - attachments are part of the MIME spec, after all.

MIME was added well after the fact. RFC 821 (SMTP) is from 1982; RFC 2045 (MIME) is from 1996. Even back then, many of us were cranky seeing BAse64-encoded MIME data in emails and newsgroups, and considered it a bit uncouth to send more than a screen or two's worth of encoded data.

Remember too that Base64 encoding increases file size by 33%.

What do you do if the connexion drops after 49MB have been sent?

Email is not poorly-designed; it's just not designed to do this particular thing being asked of it, although it often does succeed anyway.

Now that we've had email for 35 years, is it worth designing an improved replacement? Sure! Ought it to include very-large-file support? Sure! But good luck getting anyone to use it — a good part of why email succeeded where X.400 failed is that it's simple.
Hmm, sex stereotyping is usually wrong, but I'm not sure what's wrong with gender stereotyping—as in, predicting that people will behave a certain way when (voluntarily, self-identifyingly) playing a defined gender role in a culture with clear gender-segregated role-scripts.

It's in the "Western man" role-script to "do" things—and to be expected to "do" things by others; it's in the "Western woman" role-script to "be" things—and to be expected to "be" things by others. As long as you "put on the mask", the people around you will generally push you toward playing your part. (This is what a large part of gender dysphoria is about: being pushed by society to play a part you don't identify with, because of what you present as.)

If you don't strongly identify with either of the roles of "Western man" or "Western woman", then the likelihood of you taking care of yourself isn't predictable. But if you do (and a lot of people do), it generally is.
Knack | Software Engineer | Remote | REMOTE https://knack.com

Hmm, let's see, how can we scare off the typical HN reader. We're bootstrapped, so we have zero interest in Silicon Valley. We're a 100% remote company, but we have overlap time and synchronous communication, because those things matter. Our only investors are our customers, so everything revolves around them, not you. And we're not looking to sell or be acquired, because, shocker, we actually love what we're doing and who we're doing it with and want to keep doing it forever.

This is a little off topic but these comments make me wonder: why are lawyers so reluctant to give informal advice? I really appreciate the two thoughtful and informed comments at the top of this article here - why the disclaimers? I look for and give informal advice about all kinds of other topics that have the same levels of ambiguity and sometimes the same levels of importance as legal issues but it's always a real challenge to get a lawyer to weigh in informally on a legal issue.

If someone asks me my opinion about an engineering or management issue they're facing, I'll give it to them knowing that I don't know the complete set of facts and they should take my opinion with a grain of salt. I might be missing important context and I might just be wrong. If I ask someone else advice on any topic, I assume that there is an implicit disclaimer. Is there something fundamentally different about the law? Is it because lawyers are in the business of giving advice?

Anyway, appreciate you guys weighing in and hope you do it more frequently :).

> When Suzy soccer mom says she wants some stricter vetting for refugees

I don't disagree with most of your post--but in the land of the real, it is very difficult to say that vetting for refugees in the United States is not already an intensely strict process. The people asserting it's not are self-described nationalists who wish to stop immigration...or are sourcing what they're saying from them. That's where the meme (in the original sense of the word, not the 4chan sense of it) comes from. Your hypothetical soccer mom is getting this from dog-whistle sources because she listens to them and can hear the frequency. In today's political climate, that is basically a lost cause. The epistemic closure is real; you're not clawing that person back. (Some of them--myself included, years back--will eventually find their way out. But you gotta want it and nothing anybody outside the bubble does or says will make it happen.) It's not a fight to turn people, and to be honest I don't think throwing good money after bad makes sense. (I advise ignoring these people entirely, not trying to argue with them or teach them because you don't have the hooks into that person that the news sources they choose to pay attention to do.

Instead, it's a fight to turn our people out. And I'd agree that picking on randoms doesn't help turnout. But one thing I'd caution about is that what you're saying is very frequently extended to everybody not merely randos. "That literal fascist is a literal fascist, he checks all the 'what is a fascist?' boxes and he's down with Richard Spencer" still needs to be said. Though I'll decry my liberal forebears' willingness to use the word to mis-describe earlier generations of Republicans. Because we are in a real bad place and the literal fascists are actually at the gates. And in the White House.

(The deeper concern, and that's why it's a turnout fight, is gerrymandering by overwhelmingly right-wing/Republican/there's-not-really-a-difference-anymore groups in order to crack and pack those who don't vote for them. But that's a whole 'nother kettle of fish...)

Maybe one thing lead to another. By making your customers and employees happy, you make your investors happy.

The money makes sense when you need to scale fast. Specially in the development stage, when you don't make a dime yet.

With the advance of the internet marketing, it's don't make much sense, as you put.

Investors should be moving their money from internet, i think, to AI, Space, Augmented reality and so on. They should fund stuff that is really risky. Turns up ... internet is not risky anymore.
