That sounds like a excellent opportunity for corporate IT departments to make a good haul of PR and general kudos, for making a effort to release their archived caches, wherever they may be stored due to data retention policies.

I have a huge soft spot for projects where you can get the most happening because you are not required to jump a known hurdle to usefully contribute.

Overnight I was fretting with the necessity of sorting out any residual legal issues that might attach to digging out old cache dumps.

But forgetting the fact that the very same companies are commonly invested in just the tech to sort out the problem,.

Problem being one which can present all kinds of ways.
Do you have any chance of finding adult content in your cache?
Do you care about how much you are seen surfing the competition's websites?
Will URLs reveal that anonymous forum login from 2002, slagging your rivals benchmarking?
Did you put Squid on your intranet or webmaster, without https because your predecessor thought it was on the non routeing private range?
Did you use DNS in any way to point to document resources that are accessible to users via the proxy server and Squid?

Anyhow lots of data protection suites have been used to purge archives and remove any trace of activity or files best kept private.

That's how the latest HDS kit is sold : cluster FS with hyperconverged local nodes crunching security, audit and search results.

I'm sure I'm only wishing on a prayer that you can find great troves for redecorating the empty space that the WWW once pointed to.

But imagine that we really could fill enough gaps in the dead link forests!

Even just attempting could be a superb way to promote your storage products and bless your customers who offer up the raw stores with lots of great ways to engage regular journalists with the subject.

I totally live best effort projects, and especially the ambitious culturally interesting ones.

So does Joe Public.

I'm in.

Where do we start?

(if I have the time, I'm quite serious about this, my profession is advertising not online but the traditional way of doing it. I have just got my head back from exploding with the multitude of ways to sell, promote, demo, boast, reminisce, predict, forecast, warn people about how society will crumble without personal all flash arrays... Last one might be pushing it a bit, but I see a fantastic deal of business on the back of the idea. It's beautiful because everyone is invited to participate, no vendor or company is locked out. So the public is not getting the boring official line and canned quotes. This is real people showing the technology but showing the extent to which we discard valuable culture. For thousands of years mankind grew as our means of recording documentation and thought and expression grew. Look now how easily we will throw it all away!!!! I know we can do better.
The Archive of it is better https://web.archive.org/web/20170723145452/http://www.verizo...
Even with the additional steps and even with explicit whitelisting of directories (from screenshots it looks like it defaults to the user directory, which is just bad) before code's uploaded, the point is that Kite took over a useful, popular open source package, clearly hitching on to the popularity of the package to promote Kite, which is distasteful when it comes to OSS.

Why not fork the original autocomplete-python with one that has Kite enabled instead? Then users who want Kite or use Kite are able to do so, without screwing over everyone else who have no idea what Kite is and dont want anything to do with it.

Reminds me of software downloaded in the past that comes with some random search toolbar that gets installed in browsers. Annoying. Shady. Not cool.
Makes me wonder if continued escalation might push more people back towards Blu-Rays. Personally, I prefer just purchasing content anyways. Then if Netflix or whoever has to pull it, I still have it.
King has been using Islandwood to port all their iOS coin-eating games to Windows. (It's part of why even when running on a Windows 10 Desktop PC the games lovingly stick to a strange iOS portrait resolution, because while they can be bothered to port them they aren't worried about making them all that great. ;)

We wouldn't have that default "install me" tile for Candy Crush Saga in Windows 10 if it weren't for Islandwood. :P
You are trying to blame the user, but the design of this flow is to blame. It does not explain clearly what is going on.

It's funny seeing this now to see where I tripped up. When you say "enable access in /Users/ben", I guess 6-months-ago-me assumed it meant "enable access to code in /Users/ben when I am working on it". It felt a bit like an iOS permissions dialog, where I was giving you access to my filesystem. Parsing it now, I realise that the text above the button says "where enabled, your code is sent to our cloud".

You could argue I should have read that more carefully, but that copy doesn't scream to me "I'm about to upload all of the source code on your computer including proprietary stuff and secrets". Because that button was the default highlighted button, I assumed it wasn't going to do anything drastic like that. (It's like Ryanair having a big red "YES I WOULD LIKE INSURANCE" button, hiding the "no I don't want to spend $100" button somewhere in the small print.)

Above all, you certainly shouldn't have included that as a shady update to some Atom extension I was using.

DISCLAIMER

This post is satire.
They are excluded from events because they are working not for Facebook, but a food service company that contracts for Facebook. Works the other way around too. I've done contract programming, on site, for a blue collar heavy business. I didn't get invited to their functions either. I made more than the the average worker there, because our jobs were not the same.
That's what splitting the bill means.

You don't pay "for the bandwidth", you pay for a link between two ISPs (Google and Verizon). The bill between then should be split, otherwise the traffic will have to pass through somewhere else, and that will cause congestion problems.
I confess that I'm working my way up to Marx's capital, so I'm currently not convinced of the reserve army concept, and some of the modeling that says that economies tend to lower wages until people get the bare minimum. But even if I believed that to be true, restricting the amount of time they work will just keep pushing the salaries to survival level and it would do so faster.

I also have strong hopes for UBI to re-adjust many things in society, like giving stronger leverage to the poorer classes in the imbalance of power they have with employers. However, at my current understanding of economics, i cant see how restricting labor would have positive effects on the aggregate of workers.
It's obviously a crime.

Perhaps. But being a crime does not automatically mean something is immoral or unethical.
Who is at fault matters... but it still sucks to be involved in a collision. Not being responsible is cold comfort, especially if it results in injury to passengers in your car.
perhaps use

apt-get kolourpaint --no-install-recommends

or similar?

Warning: I have not tried this, but it might cut down the KDE library count (e.g. just why does Krita need a phonon back end dependency?)
Online coaching is a thing that Starting Strength does now. Probably better than whatever random personal trainer you'll end up getting paired with when you walk into your local gym.
That's just an added warning, not a bug fix.
Because it's not worth the effort to allow VPNs, but only allow content that's available globally since they can't figure out where the traffic really originates?

Honestly, if you're at the point where you're circumventing region locking to access Netflix, you should just pirate it. You're violating copyright either way.
Motors usually use static field solvers; i.e. E and H field are independent. This uses FTDT which is more for propagating waves in media.

Their bet is that they can out-compete existing local sports coverage by focusing narrowly just on sports. Cleveland.com is a comprehensive news source. Local news is continuing to die as a business, it's only going to get worse for them. The Athletic also doesn't use advertising, so it starts off by default with a significant product-experience advantage.

Narrow almost always wins in a situation like this. Traditional local news has everything to lose, while they simultaneously flail about in a death-spasm as their business model continues to melt out from under them.

The Athletic will be able to leverage one profitable market to kill the local sports coverage in another market they want to enter. Scale it up to a couple dozen markets, and they'll have the ability to easily enter any new market they choose and take down the local competition by a dozen different means (eg poaching writing talent en masse). If I were them, as I build up profitable locations, I'd then intentionally run at a loss in new markets and hammer the local competitors (who mostly don't have other markets to lean on). It's an extraordinarily easy business line to follow on how to vanquish existing local sports coverage.
Snipping tool on Windows solve your problem. No need for paint.
Doesn't close on a bright note:

>However, the sad truth is that it looks like there is no business case anymore for a truly open platform based on custom-designed hardware, since people refuse to spend extra money for tweakability, freedom, and security. Despite us living in times where privacy is massively endangered.
If anyone out there thinks different and plans a project, please holler and get me on board!
surely once google runs the pipes they'll be incentivized to pay for netflix's traffic on both sides, or maybe we'll just be back to square 1..
Should the residents of the town of Atherton be able to vote and enact policies on how Atherton should evolve?

I think they should.
There isn't more spectrum to be allocated.

Try Greenshot:

It's open-source, no-nonsense, free software. It takes your 9 keystrokes plus multiple clicks to crop down to one key: PrtScn. The built-in image editor is optimized for the things that you need to do with screenshots. Here's a quick guide I threw together:

Yeah, it was a bit of a mind-bender editing a screenshot of the screenshot editor with the screenshot editor...
Does anyone know if a lawsuit has been lodged questioning these practices?

I've always thought that my informed consent should also apply to cost of procedure - I have a right to say "NO" to something in the medical establishment. And had I known the price and the success rate, I would have said "No".

Now, I'm not asking "What is my exact rate?", although that would indeed be nice. But given minimal complications, I should be able to get a range of what to expect.
I don't use JS for layout, it's pretty much all custom CSS.
The gas limit is one reason I think it's weird that people insist on calling the EVM "Turing complete", since one of the most prominent features of the system is that every program is guaranteed to terminate in a finite and low number of steps (via the gas mechanism). Turing complete programs are supposed to be problematic because of the halting problem, but in the EVM, the halting problem is trivial: every program halts, period.
The AI coprocessor is probably the first processor designed directly by the marketing department...
In a low-margin business, it make sense to pay attention to "loss control" but one of the main benefits of keeping food workers on campus is the productivity gains by the "core business" staff.

That is to say, a take-home box of food a day shouldn't be a problem on financial grounds, so rules like this are more of a power of ethics issue. In abstract.

However, in most cases (I don't know about facebook in particular) food service workers are contractors, and I'm sure the economics don't sort themselves out that way.

Anyway, facebook leadership could discourage this sort of nitpicky loss control.
Going beyond average for reinforcement learning
So, basically, if you visit any emergency room then your handing them a blank Check and they can write whatever number on there they want. That's egregious beyond belief. I'm never one to call for legislation and price controls, but in the face of such adversity, I think it may be our last hope. I think they should either provide a quote before they offer the services or there should be a law limiting the amount that can be billed per service.
Like PostgREST does :)
A.I. Prizes Are Coming to Healthcare: $1M Cancer Contests
I think the commenter you replied to is saying "region locks" are as unfair / unnecessary as Verizon's business practices.
GitHub the application is not open source.
> Honestly, if you're at the point where you're circumventing region locking to access Netflix, you should just pirate it. You're violating copyright either way.

Many people think it's an ethical requirement to pay artists for their work. So even if they're okay (arguably) violating the law, they might not be okay with just taking the art without paying at all.
Doctors "admit" this all the time. Stories in the popular media are where we get claims that doctors have the answers. As for the idea that doctors only give out psych drugs to keep patients dependent, nonsense. There is just a strong presumption for any treatment, any hope, over no treatment. On my psych rotations I never heard any attending claim anything about antipsychotics other than they helped a little, were very "dirty" and had bad side effects which made a lot of patients stop taking them...but, they're all we've got
Project Astoria, the Android bridge, also known as the Windows Subsystem for Linux was repurposed for Developer tools/environments (the Ubuntu/OpenSUSE/Fedora on Windows tools we can use now) when the Windows mobile community mostly agreed, based on market experience of BlackBerry 10, that just running Android apps as-is without forcing the developers to port them, and without the availability of Google Play Services, could be a death sentence for the platform. (If Windows 10 is just a bad Android, why not get a real Android?)
Haha, who makes sure that dotnet actually honors the env variable? It could still connect to servers and exfiltrate data.

OTOH nobody gets around a firewall which blocks all outgoing connections ;)
Especially since avoiding n+1 query situations involves hand optimizing a lot of stuff anyways. In my experience it's not really any less work than just aggregating stuff in a regular HTTP API, but it does seem to give a better developer experience on the frontend. At a certain scale, I think it could be worth the investment, but I don't think it really lives up to the hype.
Maybe have to try this. Been using commercial EM tools for years. Really boils down to ease of use; model entry and results post-processing.
Now you are picking on minor wording choices. You asked for clarification and when it was provided you start beating up the person who responded with meaningful content.
I see a contradiction in your arguments:

Launch HN: Templarbit (YC S17) – Protect Your Web Apps from XSS Attacks
Hi everyone! I am Bjoern from Templarbit (https://www.templarbit.com). Me and my co-founder Matthias are part of the current YC batch and are excited to launch our product. Templarbit protects web applications from XSS attacks and other malicious activity.

Previously Matthias and I worked together at a cyber security firm where we saw many vulnerability reports. After spending some time running engineering at another startup we realized there is a big need for a security solution that can easily be understood and deployed. Something that helps software teams protect what they are building.
We reached out to friends and strangers at other software startups to see how they handle the security of their applications. Surprisingly to us, not many teams felt like they did a good job in that area, mostly due to lack of tools available to them.

With the advent of browser support for Content Security Policies, there are new ways to protect against these attacks. Setting a CSP header is a great way to mitigate XSS attacks, but managing changes to the policy and having a reporting endpoint that gives you insights into what is being violated is still difficult. Templarbit helps with this. Our reporting dashboard can help you discover and fix violations in real-time and shows you in most cases exactly where in your app the issue exists.
But you have to do it manually. GraphQL removes that pain (or at least that's my understanding:.
Point 1.: True. Accented letters on Windows are needlessly difficult.

Point 2: I actually prefer switching between all windows: on Mac I always have to Alt-Tab to the application and then use Expose to get the window I need. Furthermore, the possibility of closing windows from the Win10 Task View is sorely missing from Mission Control.

Sorry, but Windows 10 is clearly superior in the window management category. "Magnetic borders" are only activated when you move quite slowly, while Snap Assist exploits Fitt's Law in an intuitive and powerful way.

3. Column view is really a great feature... The other stuff is rather niche. I can live without Quickview or tabs in Explorer (maybe they would be a nice addition to the Command Prompt/Powershell)

4-5-6. This sounds like nitpicking. "Oh there's no Duplicate in the context menu? No multiple "Open with"? Then Mac for life"

7. True.

8-9. More nitpicking while ignoring Snap Assist, which is built into Windows 10... as opposed to Spectacle/Divvy/etc., which you buy since MacOS is utterly lacking in that field. Somehow that becomes a plus for MacOS.

10-11. True and true, but just proves my point above. Windows is penalized for lacking built-in stuff, while MacOS is not.

12. True. Of course the installer stuff is rooted depply in the past. I hope all the "Creators" buzz brings good typography to Windows someday!
The Vice article seems much better, and I'm not sure Forbes is a more reliable news source, but the corroboration is of course great.

Sounds like we'll be hearing more after BlackHat. Wish I wasn't skipping this year.
Krita is an alternative to MS Paint in the same way that operating a railway network is an alternative to driving a bicycle: it does much more with far greater hardware, software, user effort and user experience requirements.

Additionally, the specific focus on high-end painting using a tablet means that emulating MS Paint with pixel-perfect drawing, crisp shapes and palettes has halfhearted support or needs clever workarounds.
We also have a concept of how to inspect plumbing. I could put all rules on a checklist and teach you how to check the plumbing in your house. (I'd have to look the rules up, but conceptually I could).

Of course houses are all the same: a few toilets, sinks, tubs and showers. The differences are easy to handle in the rules. You could imagine something different: instead of water we have a special hand cleaner in this sink. My checklists cover the potable water system and the non-potable water drain system, this special cleaning fluid isn't covered and your cannot inspect it. We have a simple exception for those cases: a professional engineer can legally stamp it saying "I have thought of everything, this will work if installed according to these specs." Then the checklist is make sure that everything is up to those specs.

I honestly do not know how to create a checklist for source code. Sure I can create some starts, but https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underhanded_C_Contest needs to be considered: can someone pass your checklist and still win?
My open source side project Full Stack Python (https://www.fullstackpython.com/) hit front page over July 4th weekend in 2014 (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7985692). I've continued to write and grow the site from ~5k users per month to over 100k/month now.

The traffic bump and feedback was motivating and helpful to know I was on the right track with my content. I also learned there are some comments you just need to ignore and focus on your own vision :)

edit: my traffic was lower than I originally remembered, it was ~5k per month, not 25k in mid-2014
...because non-capitalist systems like totalitarianism and communism are known for their humanity?
If you're setting up automated non-interactive installs, your job is to check for install failures and consult the documentation; I know that's part of my job.

I'd recommend a required installer flag forcing the user to make a decision, but I'm a user who generally leaves telemetry on.
Are you sure it was a 404? I'm getting a 503 (Service Temporarily Unavailable). Not that it really matters...
The reference implementation of GraphQL has a patent grant identical to React [1].

It does not seem wise to use anything with that rider if you have or would like to leave open the possibility of having patents which you license to / enforce against Facebook.

The argument for patent disarmament strikes me as reasonable, but some companies have novel tech they would like to license to Facebook, and restricting the use of software like this seems a pretty severe violation of the notion of Free Software.

What proof systems are you thinking about? Strong static types seem the most natural way to introduce formal verification into mainstream programming to me.
I believe the author meant it to sound sarcastic
Over here (in Europe) we get the impression that US has such a crazy healthcare system. Why aren't people marching in the streets? Is it not as crazy as it sounds for most users? If you're taken to ER how are you supposed to know if the doctors are all part of "your network" (whatever that even means)?
Thank you for reminding me harmful.cat-v exists, this stuff is hilarious.
We wouldn't need 4 year degrees if we hadn't dumbed down public school. We wouldn't need 4 year degrees if employers were allowed to give potential employees an IQ test. Want to become an electrician? You aren't allowed to take an unpaid internship, so what do you have to do instead? Now you have to pay the electrician to teach you in a classroom setting, putting you in massive debt.

>I'm of the opinion that yes, even minimum wage jobs should be able to get the bare minimum expenses of an average family covered (housing/food/medicine), let alone two incomes making more than minimum wage.

Do you support us immediately ceasing trade with China and Mexico? Or is it only a problem when you can actually see the people that can't afford to live a lifestyle similar to yours?
