The LE protocol is fully open and even specified in RFCs - I wonder if any paid cert providers will ever move to that type of painless automated renewal (plus automated billing, of course). This would allow folks to potentially get their "advanced" certs (EV, wildcard, crossdomain, etc.) renewed without the rigmarole that you mention (although some cert categories come with their own non-automatable processes).

Right now, I have LE certs for my main website and for a test webserver hosted on my laptop, both renewed automatically and painlessly through cron jobs. The fire and forget nature of LE is very convenient.

> The take rate on these services is pretty low. Single digit percentages of the passengers.

In-flight WiFi and cellular were available on my last Etihad flight (Europe -> Bangkok via Abu Dhabi).

The charge was something like 25 EUR to share the 1MBit/128Kbit link with the rest of the plane.

So no wonder the uptake on this service is slow low. Business passengers will probably take it because the company pays (or it's included in the cost of their ticket) and for economy passengers it's too much to pay for a handicapped internet connection where they can't even Skype friends or browse Facebook because it's so slow.

I don't now about analysis, I don't remember a lot of that in the past, it's always been somewhat superficial. You're right that it's become louder and more TMZ in the past few years, but I think this is a general trend in media that covers news items.

Facts are not valuable; they are free to anyone on the internet. What's valuable is your ability to add entertainment surrounding those facts. How do you stand out against others doing the same thing? Be louder, more controversial, etc.

Given that we keep seeing the same problems in our society play out in various arenas (look at politics), my question is are the sociologists asleep at the wheel? Why are they not observing these patterns and offering up solutions?

The problem with that is two-fold:

1. You've turned peer review into a service - which means I am going to start expecting things for my money. I occasionally get bad or unhelpful reviewers - do I have the right to complain?

2. Unless you can supplant the prestige of journals, who will undoubtedly have their own system, all you've actually done is added a $1000 tax to pre-print services.

Beyond that, I was mostly addressing the perception issue - "Asks for money upfront", rightly or not, is already cemented in academic culture as a place you should not send your work to. That's an uphill battle.

That history graph looks pretty familiar :-)

In our case, it went from app, to app with supporting library, the library got extracted into a module and used with multiple apps, tools and new libraries were added that got shared between multiple apps, and pretty soon it felt like everything was sized MxN. We ended up combining all of the source code into one Git repo and stashing the media assets in SVN.

One of the primary driving factors here was the ability to refactor code between modules more easily. Code would show up in an app or two, and then get refactored into a common library.
The only way a nuclear system could be compromised is if there was some idiot surfing the internet on it, or if someone intricately familiar with the systems and network tailored an exploit to target it. If we have teams of people targeting specific systems like this, and just hovering over the execution button, then I'd say this is a huge problem. Nothing in this article really described the nature of the threat these weapons pose.

The point is that there would be fewer cyber attacks, both because the NSA itself would no longer be adding to the number of hacks and because the NSA would use their sizeable budget to discover and disclose vulnerabilities, presumably making all of us safer.
Ask HN: Should I use Docker?
I am building an internal server for my company in Flask. As of now I have successfully deployed it to a Digital Ocean droplet, configured nginx and WSGI and got it running. Another developer is building a React app to interact with my server's API which I think I will deploy on the same droplet too. Because it's just an internal app, I only use one droplet. I don't know whether I should use Docker to containerize both the server and client apps or just put them on the same machine as two monolithic applications. I heard the good practice these days is to use Docker and microservices but I don't want to overengineer things.
People have, in the past. The problem is that we will never remove all 0days until we stop releasing software. That's not to say we shouldn't try (to Quarrelsome's point), but eventually the stockpile today will be obsoleted by the stockpile of tomorrow. And if nation states didn't have a pile, the seedy side of the internet would, alongside trading botnets, credit card lists, etc. My point being that while noble efforts, it won't go away and we need to figure out how to deal with it.

Here's one reason such a stockpile could be used for good: say a previously unknown vuln is attacking "our" (whomever that is for you) infrastructure. The command and control has been traced back to a cluster that's vulnerable to one of the weapons in your stockpile. Now you can potentially disable it, stop it spreading, tell all of them to run an updated version of the code that essentially does nothing, etc. For all I know, this could have happened already.

That's an interesting comparison of the cultural situations of migrant workers in the US and elsewhere. I used to live in Texas and also saw that legal/illegal migrants were in general hard-working, paid relatively fairly, and sent their wages back home to invest.

I'm curious about your use of the phrase, joint "rent-seeking" ventures. I looked up the definition of rent-seeking on Wikipedia: "seeking to increase one's share of existing wealth without creating new wealth", which tend to "result in reduced economic efficiency". Was that implied in your use of the phrase? If so, what kind of ventures did you have in mind? I imagine that migrant workers send their money home to invest, typically by starting businesses (or buying land..?) with family and friends - which isn't necessarily "rent-seeking"?
>Well, you can certainly ignore all that and just use the language. Nothing forces you to do these things, they're just forcing themselves to do these things.

I am old and non-native English speaker and I love Rust. Thus I would have liked to participate and I could have ticked some of the boxes. The funding to a conference of my choice would certainly have been very welcome.

Then I tried to reflect on it more honestly. Does my age and my not so good English really make me into such a valuable contributor to a Rust conference? I do not think so. Other qualities might but you do not list those. So I ended up excluding myself.

To clarify then: when I wrote that I am not interested in your obsession with identity politics, what I really meant was that, as a condition of active entry to the Rust community.

Have you got any problems with your current setup?
I don't know where it started for software, but I can give you an example that predates the web.

In the 80s and early 90s my mother was an interior designer at a high end furniture store. There were no prices on the floor models because most things could be customized (fabric, arm shape, wood, etc) before delivery. However there was a base price that the designer could use to (I guess) keep people within their budget.

They used a ten-letter isogram to print the base price covertly on the furniture labels so that associates could figure it out without going to the back office and looking it up in the computer.

The last word I remember them using was Cumberland. C=0, d=9. So if the base price for a dining room table was $15,840 the tag would have urnec written on it somewhere.
EV certificates are not allowed to be renewed automatically AFAIK.
> You can't teach somebody to learn in a generic manner.

Nonsense.

However,
the fact that this is often considered a valid view shows how little philosophy/ethics are part of common education..

Once someone realizes it is their duty to learn, and that learning is a virtue that is rewarding on its own and brings benefit to themselves and others, the 'skill' is rapidly acquired.

I am a Safari subscriber, however I use it only for quick reference or for watching videos.

I've never read a whole book on Safari only for one reason: the HTML formatting in the browser (as well as in the Queue app) is terrible.
It still amazes me, how a publisher such as O'Reilly, who by definition should be aware of importance of such things as typography, almost entirely neglected this in Safari. Books in Safari are just stream of text, without a proper layout. I truly wonder, if Safari employees have read a whole book on their platform themselves.

If I needed to read a whole book — I would still buy the paper version directly from the publisher or Amazon.

The news, that O'Reilly is gradually switching towards a subscription-only model in the future, are very disturbing for me.

I think the idea that only certified experts are allowed to do certain functions of government is a very dangerous idea. That quickly leads to aristocracy and away from democracy. You are basically saying that unless you have a particular certificate, a branch of government is closed to you.

That is why one of the most important things we should be teaching in our schools are the liberal arts especially logic and rhetoric.

Ideally every citizen should be able to take relevant information and apply it to the problem at hand. We already do this with judges. We don't require them to be a programmer to judge a software patent case, or a physician to preside over a medical maplpractice case. In the same way, there is no reason why a non-lawyer judge assisted by trained law clerks could not determine the relevant law and apply it to the case at hand. Indeed, in the future, machine learning will make the clerk's job even less relevant and a person with good thinking and logic but without a law degree would do just as well as a lawyer in being a judge.
I am a "geek" male in the industry. My wife worked in the industry and others in non technical roles and is not herself a geek. Her education was in sociology so I asked her about what makes tech more toxic to women. Her answer surprised me. She said that it wasn't. That the other fields she worked in were the same. The difference was two fold. Male geeks interact differently with women and a slight that might seem rakish at first glace from a lawyer is immediately perceived for what it is coming from a geek. But the more important half by far, that I never thought of in my self accusation, is that female geeks also interact differently from other females. A slight that my wife would shrug off, just making a mental note about the guy, her geek female coworkers were eaten up by. It hurt them deeply. In short I don't think our community is more toxic than others, it is just that it is more evident in ours. Anyone can be offended by anything so two approaches are needed. Train against what is most commonly offensive, but also train on how to be offended less easily by people who are being offensive.
Some databases treat the query themselves as components that can be chained together before execution, look at RethinkDB and ReQL. For SQL, there are lots of ways to make dynamic sql (generated by code) and while the patterns are many the implementation in the language often looks bad and breaks most sql injection protections when using db middle ware.
The price is nice, but what makes it a must have for me is the ability to generate a cert with 100 domains on it and have it validated by hitting the server.

The "old" way required all customers/domain owners to either give us control of their domain or to answer an email every time we needed to get a new cert. Now we've automated moving around domains between certs and generate new ones as needed. Validation by email to 100 different people is like herding cats. Validation that happens in an automated way - priceless.

It's unlikely. Google and Mozilla are pushing hard for short-lived certificates, and the CA/B Forum has already passed a ballot that limits certificate lifetimes to 27 months, starting with March 1, 2018. Google wants to see that brought down to 12 months and might enforce that in their own products if the CA/B Forum doesn't keep up.
Mozilla had around $7-8 million in profit last I looked. Currently over $9 million. They could still afford them at $250k each. Such a project would've even been worth most or all of a year's profit. Fortunately, they're doing Quantum to improve things. :)
Safest place to be in case of nuclear war (due to low number of nearby potential targets, opposite hemisphere of most targets, good wind patterns to avoid fallout from potential targets).
