Yeah, I don't know what the right amount is but it could also be by suffix. Maybe make .com more expensive like $1K and .blog cheaper like $50 a year or something. This might be a better mapping to real life. Most people can't afford ocean front property (.com) but can afford a house in the suburbs (.blog or .info) and you could also make .org even cheaper (but maybe require tax exemption status documents to buy). I'd just like to see there be a higher barrier to entry to squatting. The cost is so low right now that there is no reason not too. It is already hard to find "word1"+"word2"+".com" for any pair of words and this will only get worse.
Have we fallen so far as an "open society" that the left feels justified in making a company who hosts stores for thousands of other companies "defend" themselves for doing business? I'd rather they have to "defend" themselves for NOT allowing Breitbart a store. What happened to freedom of speech? Is it only supported if they agree with what you are saying? I thought the people who called for all businesses to boycott YC simply because of the political donations by Peter Thiel reminded me of witch trials.... truly sad.

There was a nice comic/picture of this. I tend to follow it. Basically using 3-4 short words as a phrase instead of random characters. You can toss special characters inbetween/before/after. They are also much easier to remember. Password "FoolMeOnce!ShameOnMe" for example.

Obamacare only reduced the growth of healthcare costs, it did not stop the growth. The approach that most democrats believe would reduce cost is single payer or Medicaid for all.
Cities are already and will always be hybrid transportation hubs. There will be walkable areas, there will be car-required areas, and a wide range of in between mixes. These serve different markets and attract different citizens. One thing that will not work will be to force a one-type-fits all transportation strategy to all cities or all city areas.

A utility is generally considered a monopoly - there is usually only one wire leading to your house.

Of course, but I'm working in a big office with office-private wi-fi with one password. And who knows what viruses my colleagues have.

Also, I have a pretty special audience of hackers here, so I wouldn't be surprised if someone actually tries it.

Ha-ha, it appears as though you don't understand how free software development works in this context. While Red Hat is a competitor to us, we work with them on their upstream projects just as they work with us on our upstream projects.

Thanks for providing such a detailed write up. I hope that knowing a little about how "frenemies" work together is also of interest to others on HN.

Maybe Red Hat and SUSE will coexist happily well into the future. But you're both public companies, and you each owe certain duties to your shareholders.

In the software world the archetypical example of companies collaborating is Microsoft and (... any of dozens of companies go here ...). It seems that never ended well for anyone but Microsoft.

But perhaps the nature of open source / free software fundamentally changes this dynamic of collaborating with the dominant player in an industry.
Any guidance on the risks of IF for folks with Hashimoto's Disease/hypothyroidism?
That's a weird way to look at it.

Contractors exist because they are disposable. Period. In many instances, contract workers are less efficient and cause work to be broken up in arbritary ways to make the RFPs make sense. You're literally spending 3-5x for the disposability.

As a professional in a field, you should hate contractors as they diminish your work and make you disposable.
I've been looking into 2FA on Github and I don't understand why you must have either SMS or TOTP (typically a mobile app) as the primary second factor. Why not let users go straight to a yubikey? I don't want my mobile involved in the process at any point. You also can't remove the TOTP factor once you've added a yubikey, so yubikeys are 2nd class citizens, despite being much more secure.

I grew up in India and both my parents worked for a Central government company. Their company has quarters (apartment complexes) which were heavily subsidized. The employee could own one individual apartment or pay subsidized monthly rent. The company (central govt. in this case) offer loans for their employees at a lower than market rate to own this apartment.

I like that approach. Since both my parents were working they were able to afford a house outside of the area but a lot of their coworkers owned an apartment.

Those apartment complexes were categorized differently for different income people. So a lower income worker is not forced to live on an apartment that they can't afford.

I wonder why Facebook or Google can't take a similar approach. I understand that in this particular case, the employee is a contractor who happens to work at Facebook. Heck, if I happened to work for such a company I know I would live there.
Cancel Production Deployment Transitions Cleanly and Automatically
"Corporations are organized around profit, open-source is not. With only that in mind you can predict what will happen in most of the cases.
"

All three of these statements seem like nonsense.

First, "Corporations are organized around profit".
No, they are legal entities, organized around articles of incorporation. These have a purpose statement. Often, those purpose statements are directed toward lawful business goals.
But you do not have to be.

Non-profit vs profit corporations can, quite literally, have the same set of purposes. The only difference between the two is what you can do with profits.

"open-source is not".

I'm not even sure what you are trying to say here.
Very large amounts of popular open source, is, in fact, produced by for-profit companies, and has been since the beginning of open-source.
The term was even created by a group of people at a for-profit company. So ....

"With only that in mind you can predict what will happen in most of the cases."

No, you can let whatever biases you seem to have stoke your imagination and prognosticate. You can't actually predict what will happen. There are plenty of happy, well functioning for-profit companies in open source that have been helping open source for many many many years. There are also plenty of non-profits that have harmed open source greatly.

It takes a lot of blindness to see this stuff as simply black and white.
And yet ISPs happily provide vastly asymmetric pipes to the end user, ergo they're _physically incapable_ of playing the peering game in fair sense of the word either.

But they still want to enforce those "agreements"... when it suits them.
They all need websites. The ones that have bad websites need better ones. And to some extent, they are willing to pay rates based on value pricing, rather than a carefully clocked hourly rate. If you make their business work a lot better, you can share in the benefits.

Bear in mind that these projects are 60% about getting people to understand their choices, build a strategy, etc. ... and 40% about coding the site. Except for the ones who are utterly confused. Then it's 90/10.
I'd expect the U2F protocol to be built into secure elements on laptops before a Type-C Nano comes into existence.

USB-C ports are too precious to keep them filled all the time with an authentication device, and there doesn't seem to be enough room in the male side of the Type-C coupling to allow the necessary circuitry to exist in a slim form factor. Both these problems are solvable, but meanwhile secure elements are already shipped with many laptops.

(An assumption of this comment is that the Nano is kept semi-permanently in the laptop port. That's what the Nano is indeed designed for.)

I have found the tiny, local Chamber of Commerce to be a very significant driver of business in multiple ways.

But I believe you are thinking in a way that will not help. The point is not to convince them of anything. It is to make what you do irresistible to them.

For example, you could show how a coordinated effort getting a Google places profile, a Twitter handle, a Facebook page, and an Instagram profile all with the same name can help their search engine needs. Or you can to demonstrate to them how quickly they can update their own wordpress site and have it reflected in social media with the right plug-ins.

Sure – most of them won't need you, but the ones who do would much rather pay you to do it for them than do what you show them how to do yourself.
EU secure intranet has no business being there. I've never heard of it and it's "not a thing" in regards to this. Even if it is a thing in real life.

What happened was; the Swedish equivalent of the DMV was outsourcing everything to IBM, IBM were using their sites in the post-soviet bloc to handle this.

Part of the outsourcing were people playing a bit fast and loose with data security standards. Their primary database was unencrypted and they would routinely pass around excel spreadsheets with confidential information in them via email (even to external folks)

Then the Swedish government gave the "DMV" a list of people under witness protection. That list was sent (with a bunch of others) for "removal" from the system, IBM in the post-soviet country could not understand the difference between military personnel who had to be delisted for being undercover and witness protection people who would be given new identities.

So they sent a list with the new and old identities in an unencrypted excel spreadsheet. Those two sheets are what leaked.

The rest of the information was uncovered while they were looking at the source of the sheets.
What is most interesting to me is that people do not know what they want or what they are really consuming.

So, let me get this straight. If I develope malware in an "archaic" language, using "crude code" then I am not a nation-state. "Undetected for years"

Interesting logic. I wonder if the reverse can be said...

If I were a nation state, perhaps I would be taking notes.
I don't think design patterns went out of fashion. I think the opposite happened -- they gained such mindshare that they became a solution looking for a problem for many people. That is, they forgot that design patterns are meant to solve problems, and that you should also only solve problems that actually exist. Instead we started getting things that resembled "Hello World Enterprise Edition" [0], which has been dubbed "lasagna code" -- lots of layers with a little bit of filling in each one.

This isn't any more likely to prevent negligent discharge than existing safeties.

Basic fire arms etiquette is to treat any firearm as loaded and ready to fire unless it's been explicitly cleared.

If you do not use guns for self defense then keeping them clear and keeping ammo separate is much easier and safer.

Any type of safety can fail and relying on it is just how you get some of these accidents.
If anything, the US is implementing the worst aspects of gigging. If you want a truly market-oriented gig economy, in the US at least the following factors among many others must be addressed.

* Healthcare costs. This is non-negotiable. On an unsustainable path, and will collapse soon. Read around at Karl Denninger's Market Ticker site. He makes the point more forcefully than some would be comfortable with, but we're in a pretty dire, advanced stage so strong words and stronger action are warranted. [1]

* Payment term games. Small vendors abound with stories of customers yanking their chains, playing legalistic games around hyper-specific terms of delivery, or flat-out spuriously denying payment, etc. Once you climb the value ladder this tends to diminish quickly (at sufficiently high levels of operation, you become a key troubleshooting component of their organization, and they take care not to piss you off), but very small operators (1-10 man shops) preyed upon by big customers is unfortunately all-too-common to hear about. I'd prefer to see a Brandeis quote-styled mitigation. He said, "Publicity is justly commended as a remedy for social and industrial diseases. Sunlight is said to be the best of disinfectants; electric light the most efficient policeman." Some kind of information exchange, similar to a central clearinghouse of blockchain-secured documents in a transaction: if either side raises a dispute, the documents become viewable by all, with classification by disputed values, timelines, delays, court documents, etc. Works protection both directions, customers and vendors.

* Liability externalization. I'm getting demands for unlimited or $100M data breach insurance coverage and indemnification for one week projects. This takes time to negotiate down to reasonable levels, usually involving scheduling calls with my broker to explain for the umpteenth time that, no, even if you are Sam-Fucking-Walton-Back-From-The-Dead, talking with Lloyd's of London, with Warren Buffett smiling beatifically in blessing upon the enterprise, you will not get such a policy, but it is the latest in an ongoing trend by big customers to externalize as much of the cost of liabilities as they possibly can pin on someone else. Fortunately, the insurance industry is sensibly refusing to even quote for such policies, but they could do a better job reaching out to legal and procurement departments to let them know they can't grab a number from IT about information security risk and then slap it into the insurance requirements clauses.

I could go on, but I think you get the gist, and I'm far off the beaten track of this thread so I'll let myself out now.

A not so convincing conservative (counter) narrative that lumps up the arguably questionable nature of trigger warnings with a russian imposed nuclear doomsday scenario?

That assumption that a russian bomb was merely a copy of the the American effort, spying helped it speed up, but mostly prevented costly mistakes for the soviets is just another example of american exceptionalism.

Would rather watch Adam Curtis' Power of Nightmares again, blaming the culture of fear rightly and mostly on the rise of neoconservatives.
Very good point about collecting emails. We had an alpha version that went sky-high, but it was just a bookmarklet with no login or communication features. Subsequent Show HNs, when we launched our tools for Chrome, Firefox, iOS, and PDF, didn't get nearly as popular. If we'd had a net in place to capture some of that traffic, it could have made a big difference.

But of course, don't be too aggressive in collecting emails — none of that full-screen modal garbage — that doesn't do well in the HN world.

> that people seem to think it's Comcast's responsibility to pay

Funny, the upwards of $50 to $200 I pay Comcast per month should go somewhat to that.

Besides, how many users are streaming 4K content, on what little 4K content Netflix has (I'm going to wager that we're looking at about 5% or less).

At 5mbps for 1080p, peak, now we're at 2,000 users, and $6/month.

Is it really that onerous for most users of Comcast to expect that $6 of their say $60/mo cable bill goes to Netflix?

I'm also not sure why you're populating 4 ports and then only talking about 1 10Gbps connection, when in reality (though I'm no expert), that's probably 4 10Gbps connections. Accounting for the cost of 4 populated running ports and then only talking about the capacity of 1 of those ports when calculating cost/megabit seems misleading.
You need to afford a computer of some kind, afford the premium for food delivery, and have a debit card in order to have fresh food show up in your food desert. Most people for whom living in a food desert is a problem are impoverished, and therefore don't have a car, don't have a phone/tablet/computer, and often don't have a debit card, and certainly won't pay the delivery premium. So this is not in any way going to help those living in fresh food deserts.
But if you're in a longer term contract you're out of luck for a while. If they are allowed to change the service then they must allow customers to switch providers without exit fee.

Wait, but here's the argument:

- Whole Foods no longer needs to be profitable because it's a subsidy of Amazon

- Whole Foods will thus drive down prices

Hold on, why? Because driving down prices will drive out competition. There's ample historical evidence for the inevitable result of this, which is

- Whole Foods leverages its new monopoly after murdering all competition by raising prices.

Ah yes, a single example is more than enough to override the mountains of evidence that the majority of Americans only have a single choice of internet provider.

Power is setup the same way in some states, where multiple companies share the wires. This is only because the government demands the wires be shared fairly. Its an interesting arrangement, essentially a regulated monopoly called a utility.

Not to mention if you're saturating a 10gbps connection, Netflix will throw as many OpenConnect appliances at you as you'd like. Yes, they're not "free" when you factor in racking, etc, but local bandwidth is cheaper than peering, even factoring in your valid comments here.

Smaller creatures live longer. Citation needed.
