Also keep in mind that with a down line always treat the line as live. Apparently if a line is down or shorted the power is cut automatically at a certain point. But afterwards test pulses are sent out to measure the line. Said pulses can easily kill if you happen to be completing the circuit at that time.

Why should I trust them again? Back then I trusted the bigger guys code.google.com over the little guy GitHub.com and was eventually screwed. Their UI sucked, issues couldn't be imported back to GitHub fully, and they continued to screw their costumers back and front.
In the meantime GitHub and redhat openshift had been rocksolid stable services for free without any interruption for 7-9 years for me.

Well, to be honest, a good chunk of what got both the USA and the USSR into space was "stolen" from Germany, anyway.

Well, it is true. The Soviet Union leadership in the highest levels believed that reverse-engineering existing technology is better than recreating it. Obviously, the USSR wasn't going to pay licensing and patent fees to the capitalist West, right? If this is insulting, blame the Politburo and the Central Military Commission.

In fact, not reinventing the wheel allowed for the great scientific and engineering achievements that the Soviet Union did have.
This outage mainly effected the certificate generation and renewal. People who wanted to renew an existing/expired SSL cert or wanted to generate a new SSL cert weren't able to do it during this window. However, I believe the impact was small enough.

SSL certs don't need any external service for verification. The clients (in this case your browser) would have a set of root certificates issues by many CAs which serve as way for verifying.

The impact wasn't huge as most people who do renewal had a one time failure in the cron jobs which renew the certs. And since the renewals are tried 1 month before cert expiry, this was a non issue.
> The issue I have with Mozilla is that they seem too technical focused.

All of your complaints are technical.

> They do stuff like Rust which must be an incredible investment of time.

Rust is a very small team.

> If you're going to make a new browser engine from scratch, why not use a language that already exist?

Because no language other than Rust offers good support for safe concurrency and memory safety without performance compromises.

> I understand there's reasons but stuff like that is just wtf imho.

> Many were good ideas but they should really focus on their core product and making it solid as a fucking rock.

The desire to do that is the reason for Rust.
Be realistic, the browser war has ended a long time ago. Chrome, Firefox, Opera, Safari, (Edge?)... are all good browsers now. It's wonderful that we have choice.

I personally wouldn't switch to chrome just because it doesn't have tabs on the side (tree style tabs on firefox). This headline doesn't make much sense for many of us.
Are you sure that the Soviet budget for these activities was really lower than the US one? The US budget (and GDP) were higher, but I'd imagine the vast majority was spent on civilian activities.

On the other hand Soviet military expenses - and I think space tech actually fell into this domain - were a huge percentage of their budget, much higher than the US percentage.

So I don't think the Soviets actually spent much less than the US on this.

Another poster debunked the population numbers before me ;)
There a lot of sources for the GRU stealing military technology. That they were in the Manhattan project is very well known.

I believe people that would thrive in that environment would already be working as contractors or founders or at least in an industry where compensation is strongly tied to recent KPI's like sales or finance.

Things might be different if everyone was doing it like you say, but as it is right now there's a lot of work and friction involved with changing jobs. Getting hired is an ordeal during which you're not getting paid. If someone receives an offer from A with which they can be 90% sure that they'll have the position in a year or two if they want it still, or from B where they will most likely have no job again next week, why the hell would they ever choose B? Let alone common scenarios that come with job change such as moving a family, buying a house in a different city, intentionally leaving a specific position elsewhere to gamble on this one, etc.

I'm almost certain you'd be signing yourself up to employ the worst the labour pool has to offer, which is going to suck no matter how quickly you fire because you're still going to have to be on boarding them.
Except Safari, which sucks, and Opera, which is irrelevant, and IE, which still matters, and Edge, which is behind.

Firefox and Chrome are both good.
Sure, but any advantage from that is lost in the fact that I've lost a ton of development time on doing ops tasks, which I don't have time to do properly and don't have time to learn how to do properly. Even bad communication to a competent ops person who does have time to, you know, do their job, and does have time to stay up to date, will result in much better results than if I tried to fit the work into my schedule.

For example, in my current work, I could try to figure all the ops stuff out, but I've already got a backlog of months of development tasks for a project that needs to be done asap.

CON: without social help or illegal secondary activities you don't earn enough to sustain your life (pay rents, food, clothing and that's all).

But, it has been the moment of my life I was the happiest to work everyday.

Maybe that's how you could make a vacation. It helps you forget everything about the business brain washing that is strong in the IT, it clears your head of the noise, and you might come back more efficient, and retaining more employees by sharing their day to day concern of working to make a living and not living to work.

My take is simple, life is too short to not try to live some of your fantasies, some may actually prove to be fruitful.

Simply remember that there is no success in trying if you don't accept you also may fail and be disappointed.

I was lucky, may you be lucky.

Never been a CEO or a founder, but I always thought this was a good read:

"Given this stress, CEOs often make the one of the following two mistakes:

1. They take things too personally

2. They do not take things personally enough

In the first scenario, the CEO takes every issue incredibly seriously and personally and urgently moves to fix it. Given the volume of the issues, this motion usually results in one of two scenarios. If the CEO is outwardly focused, she ends up terrorizing the team to the point where nobody wants to work at the company any more. If the CEO is inwardly focused, she ends up feeling so sick from all of the problems that she can barely make it to work in the morning.

In the second scenario, in order to dampen the pain of the rolling disaster that is the company, the CEO takes a Pollyannaish attitude: it’s not so bad. In this view, none of the problems are actually that bad and they needn’t be dealt with urgently. By rationalizing away the issues, the CEO feels better about herself. The problem is that she doesn’t actually fix any of the problems and the employees eventually become quite frustrated that the Chief Executive keeps ignoring the most basic problems and conflicts. Ultimately, the company turns to crap."

Nitpick: despite its name CMake doesn't really replace make (actually you can use it to generate Makefiles instead), it's more of a build configuration system like autotools.

As for criticisms of CMake, when I used it I thought it worked pretty well but I think its CMakeLists syntax is atrocious. Not that it's not an improvement over the autotools, but at least these ones have the excuse of being built on top of a mountain of legacy subsystems with various quirks.

I find it mildly amusing that people are competing on the fastest decoder of horribly inefficient format. Don't get me wrong, I like e.g. ZX Spectrum demos, but the practical utility of such endeavor is questionable.

Ask HN/YC: Does HN Pay for Itself?
Given there are reportedly numerous moderators working hard, and thus most certainly getting paid for it by someone, and also obviously there being some hosting & dev costs, I got curious — does HN bring some profit? Is it a practical business decision to keep it alive, or more of a goodwill community service?

If it's claimed profitable, then how? Is it accounted as a "promotional channel", thus more of an expense, but with some claimed/perceived ROI? If yes, is the ROI measured/measurable to some extent? (This last one I suppose is some general knowledge in advertising, which is totally not my domain, so I'll accept if you just send me the RTFM way on it.)

Was this matter maybe answered already on HN or some other public venue?

Can you explain this? I've never heard of "DOM hashes" before.
To answer this from the taijiquan perspective, the stability comes from being properly balanced on one leg. The second leg is a spare for when something happens unexpectedly like a gust of wind. By forcing people to keep one leg off the ground, you're forcing them to balance on one leg and learn to be more stable like that.

If you have no balance, it doesn't work. That's why tai chi is often recommended for older people to improve their balance and reduce the risk of falls.

I feel if you are taking any personal information, including an email address, you should have some kind of terms of service. If you set cookies on a personal computer, that could warrant a terms of service.

You can find Terms of Service generators online and you just modify it to be even more simple terms. If I were a large corporation, like Apple, I'd probably have lawyers writing it for me, but I do my best not to store too much personal data, while informing my users of the data collected from them. And if I do store it, its encrypted. I can't read it or recover it.

It is good practice to spend a few hours, at least once before you develop a good program, to check out the terms of services on a bunch of websites. It helps to understand the types of language to use and what to mention or not mention, especially those websites closely related to whatever you are doing.

My personal opinion is that the shorter your privacy policy and terms of service, the better. No reason to put up content that you can't even understand, so you may as well write something that you and your visitors can easily understand.

Terms of Service: information about the usage of your product.

Privacy: information about your considerations when collecting and storing data from your visitors.

By the same logic, every one in the world who could have bought one kBTC when it was cheap but did not (i.e., more or less every single human in the world) has thrown away $4.8M. Even the OP wasted much more than $4.8M, because they might have bought more than 25$ worth of BTC.

> I never understood Americans' obsession of having the government control ISPs

While I agree on principle, I always make exceptions for monopolies: ISPs in the US are local monopolies: they carved up the market geographically and deliberately choose not to compete.

The perverse thing is that the Republicans echo your hands-off sentiment at federal level, while Republican-ruled states are busy passing hands-on laws that ban municipal networks.
A bit Buddhist, but: teach yourself there is no such thing as value.

At least in market economies, it's literally what someone will pay for a thing, which depends on a whole confluence of taste, feeling, circumstance, and Maslow's pyramid.

"Try psychedelic mushrooms (only half kidding-- there are some studies that one dose positively impacts depression and anxiety)"

As a founder, I generally agree. I have also done mushrooms a lot, I don't know if it is very wise but I enjoy it a lot. I also excercise daily and try to follow other tips you gave, though I'm not into meditation, medication or tai chi. I'm quite happy, but I can't really agree that the situation will fix itself with only these tips. Sometimes there are problems at work that need fixing, and the situation only gets better if you fix them. Often fixing these problems requires lots of dedicated work and leaving your comfort zone. But once they are fixed, you are a little bit happier.

For example:

- Too much responsibilities -> define new roles and delegate responsibilities

- Problematic employees -> try to work out the problem with 1-to-1 discussions, or as a last resort, fire them (or talk them to leave).

- Difficult to retain employees -> find out and research how to make employees more happy at their work. Try to research which perks are cheap and improve employee happiness. Give free candy.

Secure accesses to your Docker resources with Portainer
Hello there, The latest version of Portainer introduces team management and an upgraded access control system.
You can easily give access to a specific set of user and/or teams to any of your Docker cluster/host.

It also provides fine-grained access controls on any of your Docker resources (containers, volumes & Swarm services). You can apply an access control rule on a resource on creation and edit that rule post-creation.

For example, you can now restrict the management of some containers to administrators only. You can also have multiple teams being able to access one Docker host with the ability to manage their containers only.

You can give a try to this new access control system on our public demo at http://demo.portainer.io

Credentials are: admin / tryportainer

We'd really love your feedback ! Cheers !
> What we want is to not have the nature of the web changed to suit the whims of a handful of companies.

I feel like we're ten years late for this concern.
Very unlikely. Incanter is basically dead, so I don't think Clojure is one of the go-to numerical computing platforms. Therefore I just don't see it getting the mind-share required to thrive for these sorts of applications.

Besides, at the technical level AI in the age of Lisp was a very different beast than AI today. If you take Eurisko to be the apex of Lisp-based AI, it benefited from code-as-data, dynamism, creating and mutating more or less human digestible heuristics on the fly. AI today is linear algebra. Clojure/Java have perfectly good linear algebra libraries but there's nothing about the language that specifically lends itself to solving these problems. I'd certainly love to see a nicely done deep learning library in Clojure using lots of macros to give a succinct, and it probably even exists, but there are no fundamental advantages over Python.

I've always felt some sadness that Clojure presented an extremely sensible way of programming in a multicore world, just as distributed and GPU computing began to take over for really heavy workloads. Personally I love the immutability anyway, and there's no denying those extra cores are _there_.

Anyway, I love Clojure and it'd be great not to have to use Python (and especially R), but it's just not realistic.
Yes (which is what I said), did you also read the rest of my post.

For example for your Manhattan project thing is the classic example of how misleading such simplified outlook on the world can be. GRU stole the information about US atomic bomb, but then the info wasn't really used (because it wasn't trusted) and the USSR bombs ended up being developed independently. See this post for more: https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/21zc0v/how_d...

This is actually a rather common occurence - even in things like USSR copying the US bomber design it showed that the technology and approaches to it were suffciently different that stolen plans weren't really that useful for plain copying. They did provide invaluable direction for R&D of course.

Let me be clear - I'm not even remotely claiming that USSR didn't attempt to copy technology or attempt to benefit it. I'm just a bit annoyed at the amount of Americans that reflexively try to erase contributions and hard work of a lot of USSR's engineers and scientists with this naive and simple dismissal. I understand that it's driven by what's effectively 50 years of propagands (from both sides!), but in 2017 we should do better. We have declassified sources now.

Interesting point about the encryption. Do you think IP's need to be encrypted? I sometimes get IPV6's but mostly IPV4. We don't collect/ask for emails yet at this point... pretty much just using IP (not even sure why we collect it) and generate a 12-char unique string set to cookie for analytics upload/lookup.

I will have to take a look at some generators.

edit: wait that part about encryption, if I can't read it, what use is it? You're talking same thing with passwords like don't store it as plaint text, store the hash? If that's the case yeah... but then the cost server-side to decrypt/run batch processing... I guess part of the job...

> The tooling is the best.

No, it's really not.

Have you tried other ecosystems? You should. If clojure is the best tooling you've ever used, look around, there's a wide world out there.

Heck, even the article linked above from lambdaisland lists tooling as one of the issues clojure suffers with.

> I mean, what are the options?

Haxe. Dart. Typescript. Elm. Scala. LivesSript. ES6. CoffeeScript. Flow. PureScript. ...

There must be what, 50 odd listed on https://github.com/jashkenas/coffeescript/wiki/List-of-langu...

...but I mean, even if we accept that the things you say about clojurescript are true (and I don't agree that they are, but even if I did), the point I'm making is that it doesnt stand out from the crowd in terms of features.

Nothing you've described is something that would be missed particularly using say, typescript, webpack and npm.
That really downplays all the work both USA and USSR did to scale the V2 designs into something that can get payloads into orbit (and the opposing lands).
