The thing is, "facts" aren't just mined out of the ground, and people underestimated how much our concept of what a "fact" is was affected by our information infrastructure. There is very little true foundation of facts to build on; scientific inquiry and reason are structures just like anything else, and can be disrupted by new media.
Well, there's always alternative power sources, like on Curiosity.
That's a load of crap, there's nothing portable about a JS environment that requires build xyz of browser pqr, plus the hardware requirements, bandwidth requirements, etc. Take any ONE of those away and you're hosed (e.g., try loading even a single web page from Amazon on 56k).

Every technology of the past 40 years has claimed "portability" as its mantra, and yet here we are still.
So, I drank instant coffee in morning and immediately recalled the headline I read last night here in HN "Instant coffee that doesn't suck". Unfortunately, I'm not in the US to order, but when I opened your website, I did not find your package beautiful. It did not seduce me, it did not seem to be a premium product.

It seems to me that one of the biggest potential marketing strategies you could have is when someone takes one from the bag in a public space, like an office, and another will ask: What is it?

But, at least for me, the only thing I would think would be that this is some kind of medication or a cigar, and I would remember the Seifield episode about Pez.

Have you thought about changing the package to something that gives a better experience and seems more premium?

For projects with not-overly-complicated builds, I have had success writing each desired script as a shell script, but then calling said shell script with an npm script.

The shell scripts are nice for longevity, self-documenting, and if you have to call them with non-javascripty things.

Calling them with npm scripts is nice for consistency, readability for many devs, and some of the path-setting/node.js process.env-var stuff that you are able to do in an npm script.
Absolutely, I totally get that, it's worth mentioning that we take our TLS implementation seriously (HSTS, no TLS1.0, etc) and score an A+ on SSLLabs test: http://i.imgur.com/QbH4YZS.png

I don't see what's wrong with this. Ads suck, but people need to make money for the content they produce. I don't see anyone complaining about ads in physical newspapers or magazines (even though they can be pretty substantial) – the difference is that ads on the web track you, slow down your pages, and can be insecure.

The real solution is to find a reasonable compromise that balances everyone's interest, and that's what Brave is trying to do.
Interested to hear what the HN community thinks about 1Password
I thought gnome was able to do this alright in recent releases but I haven't used it for a while.
That's actually even worse: it will prevent the cpu to enter deep sleep states and save more power.

A while ago I was trying to minimize the power usage of my laptop (yeah, slow day) to maximize my battery time.

Armed with powertop, I removed any undesired process until I was left with an otherwise idle emacs (less than 1<% cpu) as the last major source of wakeups. Sure enough, disabling the blinking cursor brought that down to nothing, allowing the cpu to stay into deep sleep state much longer.
Thank you. This is a great read and this is the suggestion Economist Cowan should have offered.

"Harding wrote in the article, the city had 142,417 housing starts in 2014, which was “more than the 83,657 housing permits issued in the state of California (population 38.7m), or the 137,010 houses started in the entire country of England (population 54.3m)." Compare this, also, with the roughly 20,000 new residential units approved annually in New York City, the 23,500 units started in Los Angeles County, and the measly 5,000 homes constructed in 2015 throughout the entire Bay Area."

And the true solution is to pass a law using Japan as an example:
"The [Japanese] federal government recognized that these regulations were the problem, so in 2002, it passed the Urban Renaissance Law. The law stripped municipalities of the ability to control private property."

Here is another interesting article from the same author, Scott Beyer pointed to by this article.

This really doesn't make sense. With Bitcoin, I know there are lots of people who will accept them in exchange for real goods and services. With "BAT" Tokens, I don't know why anyone would want them.

Yeah, like my favorite of these lately, widows and orphans. Chrome changed a default that affected inline-blocks within columns that caused them to wrap prematurely after version 52 or so. It is especially bad because the other popular browsers don't even support these yet and looked fine.
I've said it many times: this is one area where NYC is so much better off than, say, the Bay Area.

In NYC you have an ultra-wealthy enclave around Central Park and pretty much the rest of Manhattan really requires winning an affordable housing lottery, being an incumbent or being in the top 10%.

That might seem like a problem but it's not. Or at least not a huge one. Why? Because there are affordable options within reasonable distance with public transit (eg NJ, Queens, the Bronx).

Compare this to the Bay Area where there's really nowhere affordable to live.

So rents here are a proxy for property values. The author is right that property values have a natural ceiling but that's in the macro sense. There can be (and are) enclaves that are only the domain of the rich (eg lower CPW, CPS, 5th on the Park).

This sort of thing tends to have a flow on effect which is why gentrification tends to radiate outwards.

So you end up with a situation where you can buy an apartment on 57th for $100m and 30 minutes away you can buy one in Queens for $150k.

That's actually a pretty healthy situation (IMHO). It also means that property values in Manhattan, for example, still potentially have a huge amount of upside.
Indeed, they're just a "resource" policy. They're still talked about and share the so many same attributes that it became more character saving to say AWS IAM Policies vs. AWS IAM, S3, SNS, SQS, Glacier Policies =P
Just as a guess, not at all likely. The GOP has always been a big-business friendly party, and anti-little-guy. They manage to get the "little guys" to vote for them by spouting socially conservative and religious rhetoric, which rural, conservative people just love, so they're perfectly happy to vote against their own economic interests for this.

In a nutshell, if the GOP came out and said, in all seriousness, "Vote for us and we'll ban abortion, let religious people discriminate against gays, and eliminate gun laws, but in return we're going to make you all dirt-poor serfs who have to work in company towns and when you get sick, we're just going to let you die", they would still get almost all the votes they get now.
It hurts advertisers, but not as much as by blocking them. It's a compromise where you can support the owner of the site you're visiting without having to pay money, and without dealing with invasive ad trackers.

All of the problems they list hurt Google.

The actual title of the article is "The ecological impact of spiders" with the submitted title being the byline. While the actual article's title is not clickbait, the submitter clearly went with the byline to attract more interest.

You could argue that that isn't clickbait because it is a technically correct answer, but it would be nice to see an actual source for the human/whale food consumption.

There is an article about the same paper on How Stuff Works that is definitely clickbait: "Each Year Spiders Eat Millions of Tons of Food More Than Humans".
Why would you get paid six figures as a tech worker unless you're a workaholic? If you're not putting those hours in at work, surely you're putting in those hours in for both fun and personal growth at home, right? You're passionate about code, aren't you?

> Is there a benefit of using tag URI instead of a regular old URL?

You don't need to control a domain name to issue tags.

Tags issued under an authority (domain name or not) are associated with a time, so remain valid and unique even if you abandon or lose the domain name, etc., providing the authority in the future.

Because tag URIs are explicitly not a scheme that provides location information, the resource does not have to be accessible by a particular protocol for the tag to be meaningful and accurate, and the URI doesn't communicate false expectations to readers familiar with the scheme when the resource is not accessible. (And, for similar reasons, tags don't risk conflicting with actual locators in the future.)

I've taken it as a sign that 1Password must be a fairly good choice as I very, very rarely see it pop up on here.
It occurs to me that there is another possible interpretation: the reference to URN being deprecated may have been a distorted reference to the fact that IETF has identified a number of issues with the URN spec and some existing registrations and other related issues and has an active workgroup and working draft on an updated spec. It's hard to tell if that's what was intended, though, since the dismissal was so terse; if so, a discussion of the issues with existing URN spec that are specifically problematic for the use in question would be nice, as would more description of why you aren't using actual URIs with a custom scheme rather than pseudo-URIs (since real URIs, whether URNs are not, mean that tools supporting the standards can be used, rather than building custom tooling and libraries for your almost-but-not-quite-URI setup.)

Whatever the URN reference is intended to mean, this seems to be custom-over-standard with less clear justification than I would want for that choice.

That depends on whose figures you use. According to the CIA, income inequality is higher in the U.S. That's also a figure for the entire country, not within the cities where these bike share companies operate, and I would guess that there's a much more stark divide between rich and poor in American cities.

As the neighbor comment points out, EV validation is absolutely not a waste of money. I've been part of A/B testing on most aspects of domain security and it's arguably one of the best ROIs out there for e-commerce sites.

They don't improve security -- that is true.
Can we cut the "holier than thou" pretentious bullshit?

Just because someone uses a different language, or solves different problems doesn't make them worse or any less "hardcore" than you.

You are right, the average JS developer might not be able to instantly know the details about how to implement a text buffer, because they don't need to do that on a daily basis. You probably don't know the details about how to implement a fast topological sort of a directed acyclic graph off the top of your head like this Javascript developer does.

That doesn't make you worse of a developer, it just means you are currently solving other problems that aren't related to that.

This stupid bullshit about how you aren't a "real developer" until you've done something needs to fucking stop. It's toxic.
They can improve security. We used to pin the EV roots of a couple CAs that we trusted in our mobile apps and in the browser via hpkp. This protected against someone tricking or coercing a lesser CA into issuing a DV cert and MITMing us.
Launch HN: Hivy (YC W17) – An App to Get What You Need at the Office
Hi HN,

I’m Pauline, the co-founder of Hivy (https://hivyapp.com). We're part of the YC Winter 2017 batch.

Hivy is an office management platform that makes it easy for employees to tell their office managers what they need to be comfortable at the office.

I started Hivy after working in big companies where it was always complicated to get what I needed to work efficiently. I once spent 6 months with the slowest computer, and gave up trying to change because there was no clear way for me to request a repair / new one.

We've developed a Slack app, an iPad app and a web app to make the request process for employees easy and fast.

You can use Hivy to make orders (snacks, supplies, perks, business travel) and suggestions to improve your life at the office. Office management teams review these orders, manage them and collaborate on Hivy to keep employees happy and productive.

We're really excited about what we are building and would love you and your Office Manager to try it out. If your team is on Slack, I’m sure you’ll love our Slack integration :)

You can try Hivy for free here: https://app.hivyapp.com/signup. Just don’t forget to invite your Office Manager!

Happy to answer questions about Hivy, our users, and our plans for the future.

Edit: replaced 'desktop' with 'web' above.

Tracking is important for delivering "relevant" ads, which many people would prefer. The real issue is that the different ad networks spew their trackers across the web, without respect for users' privacy or user experience.

I don't really think Brave's solution here is fully-baked, but the idea of replacing all those third-party trackers with one that's on-device and (presumably) I can have some degree of control over sounds like a step in the right direction.
And they leave a pile of dirt, plant the wrong grass sod, put the sprinklers in the wrong place, and then tell you that they are done because it's just "cosmetic" issues left? Sounds so familiar.

Yes, it's ageism, and some among us in our profession have decided it's justified.
Worth mentioning though it's simply a port adapter. Not a USB device or whatever. So it works for things like PXE boot, etc., and has performance identical to regular onboard Ethernet.

I've never been bothered by the adapter. It just sits there attached to the (thin) cable I always carry in my bag anyway.

EV certificates have the same level of confidentiality and integrity as DV certs, but they have different authentication - specifically, they tie the certificate to a legal entity rather than a domain name.

ie.

I run https://certsimple.com. We sell EV certs. But you can verify the above pretty easily by checking out the EV guidelines, the additional requirements that apply only to EV certs (https://cabforum.org/extended-validation/). You can also see the difference with openssl pretty easily:

Here is a DV cert:

openssl x509 -in domain-validated-example.com.crt -noout -text | grep Subject
OU=Domain Control Validated
CN=example.com
DNS:example.com

Here is an EV cert:

openssl x509 -in extended-validated-example.com.crt -noout -text | grep Subject:
jurisdictionOfIncorporationCountryName=GB
businessCategory=Private Organization
serialNumber=09378892
C=GB
ST=City of London
L=London
O=example Limited

1Blocker Adds Easy Page Element Hiding
Over the past 4 years, I've bought two System76 machines (FD: work paid for them). Each time, I maxed out what I was able to get from them.

Initially I had wanted to support a company that sells Linux-supported devices.

My first machine - a Gazelle (laptop) - had numerous issues on arrival. It'd randomly crash. Keypresses would get stuck and repeat. It was annoying. After sending it in, I still had random issues until I installed Debian, presumably it was a kernel issue - but for it to be shipped like that..was just bizarre.

My newest machine, I purchased a Leopard (desktop). It had been a few years, and I figured perhaps they'd gotten better at things.
I was wrong. They shipped this machine, knowing full well how long it takes to boot - again, due to some kind of kernel issue - it took over 2 minutes to go from cold boot -> login screen, USB devices would randomly not work, just weird stuff.. I put in a ticket, but nothing ever came of it. I didn't want to send this machine back like I had sent my laptop (TWICE), so I ended up switching OSes again, using an updated kernel, and things seem fine.

I get that they don't really have control over the kernel that comes with the OS they ship. I'm not naive. It's just a bit silly that they'd be comfortable shipping a new machine with those kinds of issues to the point where the machine is either unusable or stuff randomly stops working.

As far as the "physical quality" of the machines go, I'm still happy with both of them. They are well-put-together machines, IMO.

However, I know that my next machine is NOT going to be from System76. It's significantly cheaper to just get a nice Dell or something.
