I wanted to offer some thoughts to the author of this piece. I don't wish to belittle you or make light of your situation. But I do want to point out a few things. Foremost, you need to understand that free expression is not illegal and does not necessarily fall under sexual harassment law, most of which deal only with harassment by those in positions of authority against their direct reports. Companies have all kinds of sexual harassment policies they have cooked up but those policies are for protecting the company against lawsuits, not you. There is no legal recourse and probably no HR recourse, either.

Annoying cads exist everywhere. How you deal with them is what matters and it doesn't just happen to women and minorities, as much as our culture of identity politics and victimhood would lead us to believe. I'm a white guy (oh so privileged) and have had plenty of horrifying incidents with people whom I have worked with, some to the point where I quit the job I had just to be free from my antagonists, which is exactly what they wanted.

What I am trying to tell you is that there are sociopaths and people with Borderline Personality Disorder and they are everywhere in corporate America and waiting for their next victim to walk by. There is no avoiding all of them. All you can do is learn to deal with them in such a way that it does not tear you down psychologically--and yes, sometimes that means getting away from your abuser.

I once had a co-worker who had it out for me for no particular reason other than he is an out-and-out asshole seeking to protect his comfy, do-nothing job that my software would eventually have automated out of existence. He would seed distrust and fear about my project behind my back to all the major stakeholders, every meeting I was in with him was nothing but a knife-fight with me defending my team of developers from outrageous allegations, he used every sneaky trick in the book to attack my credibility without once taking a direct, personal jab at me. Despite that, I was completely undermined and ineffective in my role. I talked to my manager, to HR, none of them did a damn thing about this guy. He was absolute poison to that company...crickets. So I know a thing or two about these kinds of issues having been harassed for months on end albeit not in a sexual manner.

In another case, there was a VMS administrator at a major healthcare company who didn't want to see his comfy VMS admin job end by my team replacing the crappy, way out of date, COBOL-based shit system that barely worked. He won--I gave up and left that place for greener pastures and that company is still stupidly running that piece of crap system at the cost of millions of dollars and it was so bad that it cost them all their profits in a major line of business. All because of one intractable personality and really nothing else.

Anecdotal I suppose, but I have an app that was written for node 5 and it doesn't work on 6+. I'm sure I could figure out and upgrade it, but it's not too high on the priorities yet thanks to nvm. Oh, and it's not the code, it's one or more of the npm modules.

Not sure what you are using, the hardware would be around $40 per month for that kind of network architecture (FW,HAProxy,Nginx,...).

The LBs you're talking about are software. I was referring to hardware solutions; a soft load balancer is still a good solution, but brings back to the problem I've made before - unit granularity.

Do you refer to two (two is the minimum required for HA purposes) dedicated load balancing machines, or mixed services?

In the former case, metal is not very convenient, as the minimal unit even for a pure LB machine, is still expensive.

In the latter case, it's hard to say, buy I think there is plenty of middle ground between a small startup and Amazon, where the cloud granularity is helpful and cost-effective (I'm not implying that it's generally cheaper than metal, though).

Seconding Scott Manley's videos.

The game is fun, and I definitely recommend putting in the time to figure it out. There will come points where things just click, and suddenly getting to orbit becomes easy, then orbital rendezvous, then Mun and Minmus landings, etc., etc.
Video games traditionally (Electronic Arts, Westwood Studios -> Blizzard). You have Symantec and now Google and Snapchat. The Adsense guys were in LA as well. Doubleclick was in Pasadena. Match.com, Tinder, Grindr, and a few others around. So there is a mixture of things. Santa Barbara has some tech as well. I think UCLA needs to foster more of a tech transfer mentality. Stanford profs go and develop tech companies. UCLA ones do not to the same extent (or if they do they leave UCLA). I could be wrong about that but that's how I see it. I think Stanford has a better deal on student housing as well vs UCLA, but I could be wrong. UCLA has 44k students vs Stanford at 16k. Travis Kalanick came out of UCLA and has a story about raising a term sheet back in the day for a previous company that was written like a movie term sheet (aka really bad). So that may have something to do with it as well. But I think it is changing. The Bay area is bursting at the seams so you will see the market evolve.
I think you're missing some very obvious greed in your life. People design things to make money rather than to be good or useful because of greed. If we sought to make the world a better place instead of make the most money, we'd set aside the money and design things to be good and useful.

Of course, some people do that, but those people don't succed in making lots of money, so we don't hear about them unless we actively seek that information out.

I suspect that the reason you don't see the greed that motivates so much of human action around you is that you, like me, are greedy. Time after time I've chosen jobs that made me money rather than improving the world. It's hard for me to look at greed in others without seeing the greed in myself.

But if you really want the market relegated to a secondary role, then you want a way to defeat greed, so that people stop letting greed for the most money dictate their actions.

> As far as long travel times go, trains can be good because you can take your laptop and it's usable time to work on your own projects, watch a movie, play games etc.

Can be, but often aren't. The trains in the three busiest commuter rail lines are not really conducive to laptop use if you are my height (6'4") because of the seat pitch. I have tried to use my XPS 13 on NJTransit trains, but I need to hope I get a row to myself so I can slant sideways to actually get my laptop at a usable angle.
It sounds like you want MechJeb, which removes a lot of the manual guesswork - it'll do automated ascent, descent, docking, hohmann transfers, etc. - I played vanilla for years but would always get tired of the tedious guesswork and was dubious about MJ, thinking it'd be game-breaking - but rather it's made the game 30x more playable and enjoyable, and doesn't sap the challenge one bit.

Only yesterday I ended up doing a return from mun orbit with bingo fuel by spinning a craft up to crazy longitudinal rpm and decoupling the descent stage at just the right moment.

Thinking about it a bit more, I don't believe that Blue Origin and SpaceX are competitors. In a sense yes, but they will not fight for customers. I believe there is very much demand for their services.
You answered the question yourself.

Most Matrix users use the matrix.org Synapse installation. If the people running matrix.org decided to stop working with other homeservers, the result would be much the same as what happened when Google and Facebook became less friendly to other XMPP servers and stopped interoperating with them. This is not an issue with Ring.

You're not questioning; you're attacking. Why?
The liberal backlash against Amazon is also coming.

I have nothing against Musk in particular except that every one of his companies runs off of government largesse one way or another--SpaceX is pretty cool, though, I give him that.

I love P2P but I'm not sure it's the best approach for IM and this kind of application.
In particular it makes difficult to sync message history/contacts, it needs more bandwidth than a client/server application and consequently impacts battery life for mobile devices.
Really don't appreciate trash like 'how such a terrible comment made its way to the top'. I actually think this comment reads like a paid account. This kind of attitude is more fitting for 4chan or reddit on a bad day. the 'terrible comment made its way to the top' because people identified with it. Obviously.
Sure, just have the 'os' ping the external device in N second intervals. Without a ping, reset through a jumper.

Ask HN: How do you control distrebuted multi project app configuration
Hello all

i like to know how do you manage the subject of configuration when you have multi project

application ( many clients ) an the application composed from distributed servers .

which each server has its own configuration .

in simple words .
i have core product which have configuration A
Then i have clients which using the core project but which specific configuration to the client .

the result is i have Dozens versions of the configuration which leads to total mess.

what is the common way or methodologies to handle such mess ?

Thanks

Why is this getting downvoted?
The ULA will be able to get by for a while on their record of having gone 100+ launches without a failure. As long as SpaceX keeps innovating there's the chance they'll make a mistake. So for an expensive enough satellite you'll probably want to go with ULA. But for the majority of the launch market SpaceX is certainly the best deal.
Good question. I'd say because people want to believe it's not.
First, make sure that you have enabled upnp and nat-pmp on your router and that your machine firewall allows both. The distributed design of ring makes finding peers slow, from 1 to 20 min. Regarding the issues, this is what I've encountered:

1) Text chat works unreliably. Sometimes messages are not delivered even if the other peer was found.

2) Even if upnp and nat-pmp are both working, sometimes you need to open all tcp and udp ports to get ring working.

3) Migration of accounts to ring beta 2 on linux was a total dissaster. It always failed so I had to create a new account.

4) On some computers during a videocall ring makes pulseaudio crash and freeze the system.

Ring has a lot of potential but it's still not ready to replace skype. It works better than qtox though.

EDIT: It was ring beta 2, not ring 2

Why do articles like this keep showing up on HN? So the guy called the burst of a previous bubble, guess what lots of people did but that is bound to happen when thousands of people are crying bubble every day for years. Inevitably when the market crashes there will be a lucky few who think they predicted it.

Next, even if he is some savant that can see bubbles coming how does that qualify him to make blanket statements about Bitcoin?

Unproven statement. I could have written it also and replaced bitcoin with cash.

Bitcoin probably handles much less than 1% of the world-wide money laundering business at its current market cap.
With a global ledger where every transaction is recorded, blockchain is the worst choice for money laundering. If you have seen the BTC-e founder case, you would understand what I mean.
Ah! So the original Java from Sun/Oracle is a transitional language that has no real advantages over the alternatives for the same platform, while Google's fork is the official language for targeting the most popular consumer OS in the world.

YES, you can have different devices on the same RING account.

All you need to do, is to export the profile and import it, so all devices share the same profile.

Just confirmed from one of the devs!
You are right, except:

- "Peer-to-peer" (Ring, Bleep/BittorentChat) and

- "Federated" (Email, Matrix, XMPP/Jabber)

...would be a better way to convey that distinction.
I think crypto is in a massive speculative bubble right now, especially ethereum, but as long as criminals can use bitcoin to make transactions, it's going to have some value.
Yeah contrast that with Immelt who oversaw a 50% decline in GE's market cap since taking the helm in 2000. Drastically under-performing the S&P 500 over the same time period.

I agree that culture can very much influence the presentation of mental illness. But the ability for a culture or society to cause a mental illness in the first place is much more limited. Mental illness can be caused or exacerbated by a high stress environment or trauma, but not much else.

The trouble with that is that b2b contracts will specify pen tests so you'll incur that cost anyway to demonstrate you don't have security holes.

"Regular pen test" is seen as demonstrating security, which is as little perverse because the results don't typically get published so you could be having the same issues year after year and look just as good as someone who gets a clean bill each time.
Because it's a blanket statement that demonstrates the commenters failure to understand what Bitcoin actually is. Sure its used for those things but that isn't it's first and foremost use.
I've been testing it out, and it does not seem like an 1.0 release by any stretch of imagination.

- On a mac, the client crashes regularly. I've been able to register an account and make a video call, but there are several GUI issues (cut labels, missing text fields, etc.) and the name registration didn't seem to work.

- On android, the client acted really weirdly in the beginning. After a while it seems to have stabilized a bit, and I've been able to make a video call (to a mac). The video quality was fine, but the client did not handle screen orientation changes well (my own video feed ended up distorted).

- On linux I haven't been able to make a call, even though text chat worked. It may have been because I don't have a webcam...

All in all, the experience was far from what you would expect from an 1.0 release nowadays. It had major warts on all platforms I tested.

Also, if anyone is curious, you can login with the same account from several devices at the same time. Calls ring on all devices, but text messages are less reliable (they don't always reach all devices). Also, off line devices do not get the messages they missed when you fire the client later on.

I would love and push hard to replace skype/xmpp with a solution of this kind, but I just cannot in the current state of affairs :(

I agree that humans have an innate drive for self-improvement, and adding an economic motivator (and therefore inequality, by definition) helps focus and amplify that drive toward improvements that also efficiently increase quality of life for others. Because of the economic motivator, I want to build things that people are willing to exchange resources for -- if they're not willing to exchange resources, it's honestly hard to argue that the item was ultimately very valuable to them.

As long as there is value to humans in exchanging different types of resources, I fail to see how economic inequality is unavoidable. We can argue over the appropriate degree, but some level of inequality seems fundamental to the nature of our universe.

It's not necessary to sync history and contacts between devices in a peer-to-peer way because there is no network externality for synchronizing data. You could use a centralized service to sync the encrypted data. If the centralized service ever does things you don't like, you can change to another centralized service or host your own, and, importantly, you can do so without being affected by what other people do.

Communication platforms provide more value when they have more users, while centralized synchronization services don't provide more value because they have more users. So it's fine for synchronization services to be centralized, while it's not fine for communication platforms to be centralized.
It seems to be already being tested [1].

Well if he's an expert on investments then it qualifies him to make a statement on bitcoin as an investment. You don't have to agree, or believe him, but it's pretty easy to see that many people are throwing money at it in hopes that more people continue to throw money at it.

But most currency has a set (or slowly changing) value - a dollar is a dollar. Millions of people aren't going out and buying dollar bills in hopes that more people go out and buy dollar bills so that the value quadruples.
