People do this because they want to earn equity and build a business from scratch. That's how wealth is built from nothing in a capitalist society.

The situation is that YC helps engineers and designers and product people build something from scratch and own it, instead of working for other people. The correct analogy would be actors who own the studio who are trying to make the next Disney. They get to act and own the means of production at the same time.

VERY significant difference. They didn't prove that it doesn't exist, they proved that they couldn't single it out in a particular experiment.
Great read. I'm dissappointing that this thread has devolved to HN cliches (arguing about Kool Aid and pg's essays) and isn't focussing on the very well written and inter sting content of this piece. Also, I wish there was a way to subscribe to a writer on Bold - it seems that I can't, unlike Medium.
When I am having trouble focusing on work, over the years I've found kicking everything into grayscale really helps me get more done. Since learning to code, though, I haven't found a good grayscale solution to syntax highlighting. This looks like it has just enough, thanks for sharing!

IIRC - Chris had been promoting the project that became TT for a while. He main work at the time was as a truly awesome 68k to PC porter.

If he shows you some wierd thing with numbers and simulation, just ignore it'

It looks like the D.C. after Washington means "Default Country" - so deep is the assumption that the only interesting things are happening in the USA. Since there's the Net, it's inevitable that there will be hacking scandals and there will be some cyberwarfare in action, but it's a tiny part of the bigger world and the local events like the recent presidental election in USA do not define the image of modern civilization. There's no cyberpunk in the hot air and sunlight among the ruins of Syria, in the alcoholic reality of Russian monotowns or in the frozen technoutopia of silently ageing Japan. Cyberpunk today looks the same as steampunk: the form without the content, something without the grounds to exist.
Hardly. Back then we had an atmosphere of freedom and parents didn't understand things properly. We had root access. Now children are put under surveillance and can't leave the walled gardens set up by corporations.
I really look forward to being able to compile WASM to native machine code. With a default link to an SDL canvas library, it would become something like a universal runtime for most media applications. You run that in a sandbox and you pretty much have a native version of the modern browser minus the DOM.

Congrats to the Heroku team for pushing forward with this. While it's not attractive to this Heroku customer due to my preference for CI solutions that are agnostic to the rest of the deployment workflow, I'm sure this is a great prospect for orgs that are 100% Heroku ride or die.

I'm curious about the pricing model. Other hosted CI solutions have a low-power free tier or provide totally free services to OSS. I wonder if Heroku would consider providing a free version of CI with hobby dynos and other free-tier addons.

Also hoping that charging pro rata for usage is something that can be extended to hosting dynos.

I thought that as well when reading the article, however, the authors of the study did claim the following...

"The researchers have been studying this group for a long time so it is not simply a case of the unhealthy Tsimane dying young."

The key being how long is a 'long time'? Enough for one complete generation?

Some information on mortality rates would be useful as well.

Yeah right, like computers are locked down that tight.

It still takes my 13 year old brother just a few hours to figure out he has to put the Mac in recovery mode to allow the changing of system files (forgot what that security theater was called). Most parents haven't suddenly learned to set BIOS passwords or to protect the admin passwords, and even then, it's not too hard to burn and boot a disk that removes password checks from an unencrypted system.
I don't think that "too cheap" is an issue because the state can put subsidies in place. The core issue is lack of oversight and that can happen in public and private environments.
What has really changed, though?

> 1. The Society surrounding us is clogged with conservancy, pulling everything and everybody to itself, while it sinks slowly into the quicksand of time.

> 3. The System must impose its truth upon us so that it can rule. The government needs us to follow it blindly. For this reason, we live in an informational eclipse. When people can only acquire information from the government, they cannot distinguish right from the wrong. So the lie becomes a truth – truth, fundamental to everything else. Thus, leaders control with lies and ordinary people have no notion of what is true and follow the government blindly, trusting it.

> 12. Those who control the Net, control the information.

These seem as relevant today as they were yesterday. And it's quite likely they will still be relevant tomorrow; human nature is slow to change.
No, that's what it looks like, though

Just a note, this might work when you have a very small audience and not a lot of strong online competition for this topic. PerfectTablePlan isn't exactly Microsoft Word. The fact that you ARE PerfectTablePlan is also a huge contributing factor to this page being #1.

But if you try this in a competitive space, the swift hand of Google will come to crush you.

Basically right now, Google is saying "Okay this page does mention these words, and their site has a ton of brand authority for PerfectTablePlan, but Goddamnit they are spamming and if I can put a non-spammer up front, I will."

I think you're right but missing the context: badssl.com was setup as a resource for security engineers who are running tests. It's great for that and it allows the kind of fine-grained testing which anyone who is developing software, configuring firewalls or group policy, etc. would want — i.e. if you do anything which consumes HTTPS, why not take the time to add a step to your CI process which prevents accidental regressions?

The dashboard (https://badssl.com/dashboard/) is very new — see https://github.com/chromium/badssl.com/issues/257 — and as the person who opened that issue, my context was different: that conversation started among a group of U.S. federal government employees who are often in the situation of needing to use a MITM SSL proxy for compliance reasons and don't directly control it, often lacking even the ability to install software on their primary workstation (not without cause, given the threat model). Being able to run tests in a browser and send the helpdesk a single link saying “These three boxes should not be red, please file high-priority ticket with the network group” is really useful for getting changes through quickly.
Perhaps we have somewhat different definitions for the term. I have heard many refer to "tourist traps" or similar when talking about a store that overcharged them compared to a local, for example. I don't mean to cause confusion by the expression I used, which is why I tried to explain my justification.

HCL is atrocious. Terraform's main issue is that it tries very hard to be declarative, then it has to invent a template language as a superset of the declarative JSON it uses to make up for it. And that superset is invariably shit.

It's like you said; no loops, no proper variables etc.

Terraform itself though is fantastic and powerful. It's lacking some pretty important stuff still (for example, not having to refresh the entire infrastructure state when you change one single variable for one single tiny little service), but that just makes it an alpha. It's still better than the alternatives by a mile and then some.

But, yeah. Fuck HCL. The good news though is that I think this is "easily" fixable by someone who would really work on it: Because the underlying environment is 100% json, it's easy enough to generate; so you could implement a saner environment for specifying the state and feed that to terraform. That's enough for me to bet my infrastructure on it: knowing that today's issues are fixable, rather than the effort being doomed from the start.
It seems questionable to me that genes aren't even mentioned in passing when summarizing possible reasons for a specific physiological difference observed in a small, insular population. Especially considering that there are well-documented cases of both genes that accelerate atherosclerosis and specific families with extremely low rates of heart disease that don't seem to be explained by lifestyle factors. If it were all about macros and staying active, why this population and not dozens scattered throughout the world?

Ask HN: Should I use a legal agreement when offering free trials of my site?
I have a very early stage web platform that has garnered some preliminary interest from a few potential customers. I'd like to give these customers free trials to use my platform for x amount of time.

Should I be having said customers sign some sort of trial software agreement before giving them access? Are there standard clauses for this scenario, or am I over-thinking things because no money is going to be exchanged? I guess I'm worried about getting sued for revoking access after the trial time expires - or stealing my code.

Yes you are right, there are some UNIXes that ship today without a buffer (block) cache and/or don't default to using the block cache when open(2)ing a block device.

For those wondering Linux uses a unified buffer / page cache so there isn't a coherency issue. The buffer cache entries typically point to the corresponding entry in the page cache if it exists. The biggest reason the two are separate but correlated is that the block size isn't always the same as the page size.

Typical in a Fortune 500 company it would be the marketing department, since it's their money that pays. Company culture, though, varies, on how much involvement would come from a privacy or IT security area of the company. In my experience, very few companies would have an a privacy or IT security department that had something like veto power. They typically only have a limited influence, like being able to add some terms to a contract before it's signed.
All of the things he suggests are incredibly obvious though.

Most marketing people I know (and I know a lot) would consider the idea that their job was to 'set up trade booths' or 'send out a Press Release and wait for things to happen' as a thinly veiled insult. Of course the purpose of trade shows is to gather and qualify leads- otherwise you're simply spraying money up the wall.

Likewise, if a marketing organization doesn't have basic targets or marketing/sales alignment in place, then it's not because of the lack of management, it's because the marketing/sales people are incompetent.

And if I think of the negative cultures I've worked in - the one thing they have in common is a 'leader figure' at the top who spends his time abasing the team and generally getting in the way of things that, left alone, the team would organize to do anyway. The job of a leader is to hire good people and get out of their way.

dd precisely controls the sizes of read, write and lseek system calls. This doesn't matter on buffered block devices; there is no "reblocking" benefit.

Some kinds of devices are structured such that each write produces a discrete block, with a maximum size (such that any bytes in excess are discarded) and each read reads only from one block, advancing to the next one (such that any unread bytes in the current block due to the buffer being too small are discarded). This is very reminiscent of datagram sockets in the IPC/networking arena. dd was developed as an invaluable tool for "reblocking" data for these kinds of devices.

One point that the blog author doesn't realize (or neglects to comment upon) is that "head -c 100MB" relies on an extension, whereas "dd if=/dev/zero of=image.iso bs=4MB count=25" is ... almost POSIX: there is no MB suffix documented by POSIX, only "b" and "k" (lower case). The operator "x" is in POSIX: bs=4x1024x1024.

Here is a non-useless use of dd to request exactly one byte of input from a TTY in raw mode:

Yes, 3 days is way to short...

I find it infuriating how arrogant and counter-logical American nutritionists are on this issue. They believe that any allergy will show up if you merely put a piece of food in your mouth, and do so almost instantly. For them, the oral challenge is a golden test which always works: https://www.foodallergy.org/diagnosis-and-testing/oral-food-...

"If you have no symptoms, food allergy can be ruled out."

Some of this is obstinate pendanticism about what the word allergy means, but mostly it is just arrogance and refusal to understand reality and logic.

I for example, will throw up in the evening if I eat a large portion of barley for lunch. Obviously, I shouldn't eat barley and my European doctors have no trouble understanding that. But according to American medicine, there is no problem since I obviously pass the oral challenge for barley.
Kids used to get a slap when they misbehaved. Now they face surveillance and psychological torture e.g. by taking away the devices with which they are in contact with their friends and play games. If I was a kid, I'd take the slap over the other things any time of the day. But both are wrong. Thank god I am grown up now and actually have human rights (that I can enforce). I wouldn't want to be a kid nowadays.

Since this isn't a public company, and many startups have rules over what is valid or invalid sale of their private stock, isn't Palantir able to say who can and cannot buy the stock?

I am not making any claim about why or why not, just that they are currently in a posistion where they can control these things, right? If they were public this seems like it would be a different issue...

Also, if the US govt were very concerned about this, I imagine they would step in and block it.

First, that doesn't invalidate the premise. Cyberpunk is about the fringes of society and the cutting edge of technology, and liberation from the corruption of authority though anarchy and transhumanism, not about the mainstream.

If you were to extrapolate many settings depicted in cyberpunk fiction, you would probably find that there isn't "cyberpunk" in most of them, either. As far as cyberpunk is concerned, none of that is interesting.

Second, I can't believe you unironically used "frozen technoutopia" to argue against the presence of cyberpunk in the modern world.

By similar logic, a buffer over-run that doesn't cause your program to crash should cause no issues once the data that was being processed at the time has been freed from memory.
