First, there is no such thing as "passive" that is 100% sustainable for a long period of time.

But, there are things that you can do where you will not ALWAYS trade your time for money. That should be the goal. I call that passive for me. But don't focus too much on the word itself.

Some ideas:

- Create a SAAS. It can bring money where you don't always trade your time for that money BUT it requires time to do support, maintenance and enhancements. You can decide how much. Lot of small products that are doing under 10K per month with not a lot of hours spent per week.

- Write a tutorial/E-Book and sell it. This again can generate income for which you won't always trade your time. But it has a huge upfront cost.

- Work an extra job during weekends. Not recommended but it technically answers the question "how can I generate new sources of income". Silly answer but technically correct. Of course, you are trading time for money 1-1 with this one.

- If you are good at something but cannot a tutorial/e-book, then offer your service live for a fee over the phone or skype etc. Live coaching, tutoring, code mentoring etc.

Note that all of the above requires marketing efforts specially in the beginning. You cannot magically expect people to find you and pay you. The "find you" part is the critical one where a lot of us fail.
The licensing complexity comes from things like downloading cordova and the android sdk, etc... Which are options that you can select. Distributing in ISO form, would mean changing the installer license, as opposed to optional licenses to agree to, you have to then composite the whole.

Where I'm from (in the EU), any profits from illegal activity are confiscated upon conviction, sometimes also including "the tools" used to commit the crime.

After several Uber drivers had to pay back all their earnings, lose their car and get a fine on top, there has been significantly less drivers willing to take the risk.

Outside of some peak hours (new years, etc) where the risk of getting caught is minimal, the only ones left are the really shady drivers with their crappy cars.
>Isn't this more a distinction between science and science reporting

In a way yes, but if we include the summaries of findings that scientists deliver to the public/governments/etc as "science reporting", then science reporting is 100% of science as we know it (unless we happen to practice it).

Consider dietary advice that has since found to be BS, that was passed in the 70s and 80s as "scientific fact", not just by the press, but by scientific advisory boards (to governments etc) comprised by actual scientists.
I just added Firefox 52 to Browserling. You can try this new version at this URL without installing it:

https://www.browserling.com/firefox/52/news.ycombinator.com

If the demand is too high then you'll have to wait in a queue for a while to try it. I'm adding more servers right now to let more people try it without waiting.
> Unless you are a spy, a terrorist, a state official with significant power or a dissident against the likes of Russia or China, end-to-end encryption like Signal will keep your communication private.

Maybe, if one person can do it so can others. It would be foolish to assume you are safe just because the US government doesn't deem you a person of interest. It might be far fetched, but now that the world knows it's possible to bypass encryption you cannot ignore the fact that Signal may not work at all.
Does Java Web Start support applets? I haven't had to use it in years but I seem to recall that it does.

A few people lost all their emails on Gmail in 2006. https://techcrunch.com/2006/12/28/gmail-disaster-reports-of-...

There have been other Gmail outages in the past though. My two favorites are:

1. The multi-hour outage in 2009 http://www.cnn.com/2009/TECH/09/01/gmail.outage/index.html?e....
2. And one where they had to restore data from magnetic tape backups https://gmail.googleblog.com/2011/02/gmail-back-soon-for-eve....

Of course, there are other email providers too and their own outages. But I like Gmail and that's what I follow.
It is a thing, there are legit organizations, but the pay is miniscule. I did one once to do an oil change at my dealership. They paid for the oil change plus some small amount of money. There is definitely some hassle in filling out the online forms exactly the way they want them. I only did 1-2, too much hassle.

You still have to trust that what's running on your machine and on the servers is compiled directly from the source you have access to, right?
Yes. It's a nicer shower than the one I have at home too.
If the bots can pick up the phone, make a sale and get a client to pay me on a subscription basis, I won't need to do anything. I will sit on my couch, sip some wine and watch TV. Until then, I have a job.

This is reductionist and offensive.

(1) On a practical level, although I don't know Greg's personal financial situation, he was the CTO of Stripe for five years. He's rich enough not to work. He works exactly because he's enthusiastic.

(2) Secondly, to say that Greg merely handles logistics for OpenAI is to willfully ignore the post as written, and the reality on the ground.

Also, I'm not sure Sam is a billionaire, although well on his way.
What parts of your app and service do you update outside of the App Store/Google Play? Do those things get included in changelogs somewhere?
If our email is down but our customers' email isn't down, then they think we're ignoring their "urgent" messages, and that's bad.

But if everyone's email is down, they won't be able to send those messages, so they won't think we received them to ignore them.

(Then again, email is kind of uniquely bad here, because of the way SMTP works as a store-and-forward protocol. In most protocols, if my server went down, your client wouldn't be able to connect to it, so it'd be pretty clear something is wrong. With SMTP, your client can just "put a message on the Internet" for my server to receive, and won't know for 48 hours or more that my server isn't there any more.)

Struggle to re-establish my economic viability before my marriage collapsed under a pile of unpaid bills. Worst case scenario I'd slam my car into a bridge piling at a hundred and twenty miles an hour knowing my life insurance policy would cover the mortgage and my son's college education. Edit: oh wait...is this a thought experiment where capitalism isn't a thing anymore?
If that's an edit, it's still pretty poor. The 'experts' quoted are Wikileaks themselves. The disclosure 'A spy agency had 0-day exploits for mobile devices' would not rock anything.
I don't share your interpretation at all. The gist is that humans are not rational computing machines. And that we can't expect each other to respond rationally to every word spoken or act observed.

If you don't see the merit in winning arguments over being correct, uh... I dunno broaden your social circle maybe?
Right. There are infinite flawed arguments for every correct position. Just because one of them got mind share doesn't mean there are no other, good arguments. One would hope that correctness of an argument would have a strong correlation with its memetic success, but it doesn't seem so.
Has anyone with a clue actually gone over the code? If so, is there a description of how it works?

Other than, attempt to retrain and look for another job?

Without quite knowing the scope or seriousness of question, it's tricky.

I'm in IT, started as a sysadmin in PeopleSoft/ERP world, currently a hands-on team-lead. A lot of stuff we do can, should, and will be automated. Which will remove my hands-on portion and reduce my team-lead portion.

I've been lucky/careful to retrain both up (relative direction) and laterally over the last decade, partially to avoid being off-shored (pretty much every time I moved a position, shortly thereafter previous one was no longer done in-house), partially to remain relevant to management and clients.

I enjoy learning, but one day I may burn-out, and/or no longer be capable of learning fast enough, and/or all the things I'd like to / can easily learn will be automated. At that point, I haven't a clue, we'll see in which way we get there...

Skydiving has some formal rules, both from the FAA and the USPA, but there is a lot more institutional knowledge passed along through informal channels.

Experienced jumpers commonly see something, recognize it as an issue, and talk with the person about it, even without being in a position of authority. If drop zone staff sees something sketchy, they'll talk to the jumper in much the same way. Safety is usually treated as an educational problem, with informed opinions (usually) staying well inside the box of what's permitted by the rules.

If you're a skydiver, listen to your peers. They are an important part of the skydiving safety picture.

Try nokia 3310. They made new ones recently.
Yes, that's nothing new, and it's obvious to us here on HN.

However, I disagree that the intention can only be sensationalism. The average computer/smartphone user (or journalist!) absolutely does not understand that if their device's operating system is compromised, that so are all the apps they run. Saying that messages can be intercepted before they are encrypted is worth pointing out as a realistic consequence of someone's device being compromised; a consequence that J. Random Journalist would not realize if it were not specifically pointed out.

I myself remain sceptical. If you low-medium skilled you should be able to find work from the people made richer by the robots, as butlers, assistants, etc... Yes even with the best robot, some people will prefer human contact. Some people may even pay a premium for companionship.

Since the inception of Smart TV's, I've often wondered, is it still possible to buy a modern "stupid" TV?
The issue is the reverse. Shkreli used existing FDA regulations to carve out a monopoly -- from what I understand from the Wiki (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyrimethamine#cite_note-45), he largely leaned on current FDA bioequivalency standards to put a barrier to entry for the business that was higher than many generics would want to risk (given the low volume of the compound).

Once the virtual monopoly was obtained, he subsequently jacked up prices. In this he probably made a mistake by being way too greedy. With "ordinary" medication pricing, patients may not notice the very high prices, largely because American medical pricing is not terribly transparent. Instead, the higher costs tend to translate to higher insurance premiums and higher medical bills to the taxpayer.

Pyrimethamine is an old 1950s drug and as I understand it the synthesis is relatively easy. If the current American regulatory system wasn't so broken and we had a truly free market, Shkreli wouldn't even have a business plan with that sort of price increase, low volume notwithstanding.

The good news out of this is what Shkreli did was so egregious, the flaws in the system ended up being headline news.
Another victim of sensationalism.
How are you different/better than Mint?
I agree development of the avionics is different from the RTOS. But what makes you say that the avionics algorithms aren't DO-178B? That is something the customer (gov't) would specify to the contractor. I didn't ever work on the JSF avionics code to know the development process. Did you? A lack of press releases about it does not mean it is not DO-178B compliant.

Reading the JSF coding standard, it sounds like all libraries must be DO-178B:
"All libraries used must be DO-178B level A certifiable or written in house and
developed using the same software development processes required for all other
safety-critical software. This includes both the run-time library functions as well as
the C/C++ standard library functions. [10,11] Note that we expect certifiable versions
of the C++ standard libraries to be available at some point in the future. These
certifiable libraries would be allowed under this rule. "

Yes, exactly this. They could easily just TTS what you are saying, save the text, and send it together with the rest of the info when you say "Alexa". Thus only sending information when you say "Alexa" but managing to upload all your conversations.

I would be very surprised if they aren't doing something like this. The power of analysing which products you talk about in your home more often, what kind of stuff you consume, what affairs do you discuss at home, etc, is too good to pass up. And seriously frightening.

The US pulled out of the Anti-AMB treaty and followed it up by decades of increasing spending on purposefully built missile defense that has had nothing to do with air defense.
SDI had nothing to do with air defense.
GDB has nothing to do with air defense.
THAAD has nothing to do with air defense.
The only somewhat capable system which is dua use is SM3 and it's ABM capabilities are questionable at best.
The US has an entire agency dedicated to missile defense https://www.mda.mil.

The US has also being playing it fast and loose with strategic launch platforms converting SSBNs to cruise missile subs without notification and planning to deploy dual use warheads on its balistic missile subs which is as ideas goes might win us all a Darwin Award.
The problem is one of capabilities; unrestricted image hosts delegate too much power to uploaders. An uploader should not be able to create a valid URL with any data under the hoster's domain.

In addition to what's been mentioned, another possibility is to force users to bring their own domains to the table when doing hosting; the user is free to host things from the service at their own domain, and the hoster's domains remain distinct and untainted.

This bug had nothing to do with Zcash. Please correct your comment to say Zcoin, if that's what you meant.

In any case, Zcash is also derived from Bitcoin and builds with `-Werror` (edit: not `-Wall`, but we're working on that). That kind of minimal static analysis is certainly not sufficient to catch the majority of bugs, though.

C++ is not memory safe in any meaningful sense. There have been efforts to define a memory-safe subset, but typical large codebases, including Bitcoin, do not come close to falling within that subset.
