I think you are missing what is going on.

Lets say you have super secret domain xsrihghufgyssw.foo.com, it is published in your DNS and it is publically reachable, but no one ever knows to look up that domain to reach the website. It is almost impossible for someone to randomly stumble upon or guess that domain name. With certificate transparency there is a log of that certificate being registered so if some group like DDOS for hire wanted to take your services out, they could use all those names as targets.
Filecoin’s ICO opens today: raises $52M from investors
Why Some U.S. Ex-Spies Don't Buy the Russia Story
> "I suspect the reason so many people have trouble with the firing, and the responsibility stated in employee CoC is that it puts a lot of power in other people's hands."

I disagree. I think people are upset, at least conservatives within Google, because they see this "against the CoC" idea selectively applied. I can tell you first hand that there were a lot of things said by those on the left, especially after the election, about conservatives that many felt violated the CoC, the issue is just that its a minority at Google that are conservative. I mean, after the election at the TGIF, a member of management basically told everyone to stand up and hug the person next to you and "it's going to be alright." If this isn't alienating, lacking in empathy, and downright rude toward the conservative Googlers, I don't know what is...
Exactly. Though I think that so many people having invested so much money at such an early stage in this technology's development is the reason why the scrutiny is off the charts. Everyone, from naysayers to evangelists, need to cool off a bit and realize that this stuff is brand new. I'm 110% confident that cryptocurrency in general will yield some very interesting things in the next few decades. But I'm 0% confident that anyone today has a grasp on what those things will be specifically. We should all just be having fun with it and seeing what we can make.
I am trying to figure out what exactly he has done to make him alt-right since they attack him constantly.

From the Wikipedia page:
> n May 2016 New York Magazine reported: "Shapiro...has increasingly found himself targeted by the so-called alt-right movement, a loose conglomeration of online personalities—many if not most of them anonymous—currently devoted to tweeting and posting their support for Donald Trump and attacking those who disagree, often in racist and anti-Semitic ways. They have been denigrating Shapiro as a 'pussy', a 'cuck', a 'Jew' and a 'kike'."[54]

He supports Israel which actually isn't an alt-right thing.

I'm trying to find what in that article makes him alt-right.

I'm curious, has this ever been a problem in real life?
Standard Oil steadily lost market share throughout the years of the anti-trust trial, long before there was a verdict.

See "Titan" by Chernow.
Gotcha. I took "a world" literally, but guess I shouldn't have.
well... put it this way: no one has bothered to make it illegal
oh those are demos for the website template, the checkout is the top tab
TLDR: Deployed buggy code with infinite trigger. Hosting costs increased.
Thanks, this helps answer the same question ("why not just any database?") when I read about it Walmart implementing a blockchain based solution to tackle food tampering.
You say that like most of these things are good? I wouldn't consider boundless tax evasion or a boundless pyramid scheme "the fun part".
Possibly but it's unlikely you get a lot of that benefit while you have a mix of people and computers driving. So many many decades out.
Trying to parse through the buzzwords, it sounds like it's trying to replace the need for a traditional database for ledger applications.

Let's say you're a traditional enterprise and you have a ton of geographically dispersed operations. Retail has shops open in malls across the country, logistics has warehouses across the country, and so on. Each one of these places has a local ledger - how much product is on the shelves, what came in, what went out the door. Many times, the ledgers are related - what leaves a warehouse should arrive at retail, and not drop off the face of the Earth.

Traditionally, you had a centralized database to manage all of this, from which reports could be drawn and sent to management. The problem with having a centralized database, however, is that it's a single point of failure. The database can suffer a loss of availability, etc.

If you replace it with a blockchain, then you can get rid of the database and allow all of your geographically dispersed operations to manage the ledger in a peer-to-peer manner, without the security problems that used to dismiss p2p solutions for enterprise, because the blockchain ensures the security of the ledger. Blockchain contracts can allow, say, a retail outpost to contract with a warehouse outpost to receive a shipment, even without connectivity to central management, and then central management can track the activity after-the-fact when it updates.

The real question that enterprise blockchains have to answer is, "is it really worth it to dump a system that works most of the time for a benefit I rarely if ever need that'll cost the enterprise a small fortune to develop, or are we picking blockchains because they're fad of the month and people love resume-driven-development?"
So serious but the code that was posted on github hasn't been updated in 4 years. I don't see this going well, at least for the community.
>And finally, because it's entertaining to think about, Crypto could drive the biggest pyramid scheme the world has ever seen. There is absolutely no SOFTWARE of structural limitation to running a $1 trillion dollar end game pyramid on Crypto. In fact you figure out the privacy side, add in mass adoption and you could just leverage the current ICO structure for it.

Couldn't Crypto itself be the big pyramid scheme? It might never get adopted enough to become the defacto currency (can you imagine the gov't accepting BTC for tax payments?). In the meantime the SEC, or Congress, or maybe some big, multilateral "anti-money laundering" international agreement might do something that threatens it enough to start a run on the "bank", driving the exchange rate to nothing. Those who bought a ton a long time ago and who since cashed out would then be the winners. No?
The "single source of truth" is what people have been calling the Corporate Data Warehouse since the dot com era. The realities of that approach -- centralized gatekeepers, too hard to keep everyone on the same schema, different subgroups need different variations on the schema, slowness to iterate since everyone needs to accept the smallest change, etc. -- all those realities is what has largely given up on that Single Source of Truth vision in favor of microservices or data lakes or choose your buzzword du jour.

Blockchain solves problems around auditability, but it doesn't really solve the practical difficulties around the original CDW vision. If you weren't able to make a centralized data store work with a sql database, you're not going to make it work with a distributed ledger.

Which got flagged too. I'd say this google flagging is contagious ;)

If the topic is that touchy, I guess I'll abstain from making Google diversity-jokes.
Like I said, laws correspond to the lowest bar of morality. As in, we will take your freedom or property if you do bad enough things.

There are plenty of deplorable things that companies can and should legally be able to do that they nevertheless shouldn't do.
Alright, here's an example:

touch 'file with spaces'
for file in $(ls); do
rm -- "$file"
done

This will not work, because $(ls) will get expanded to three items, not one. rm will be called on the files "file", "with", and "spaces"...which is not what was intended.

Now do this:

touch 'file with spaces'
for file in *; do
rm -- "$file"
done

This works correctly.
Don't forget maintenance, insurance, and gas costs
Yeah, I was struggling to understand the implementation details also.

Given: "Draft is in-progress and may be frequently updated in the next week(s)." I'll give them the benefit of the doubt, and just look forward to it getting more specific.
That's a good point. looks like they took the lowest historical price vs the IPO, without regard for current situation. Far from "total return". Good catch.
Where's the source of the information that Thiel was actually in Saudi Arabia when the Valleywag article was published? I searched, and all I see is unsourced assertions in the comments sections of articles.

The only mention of Saudi Arabia in connection with the story that I can find in actual articles rather than comments is the assertion that Thiel was pissed off about being outed because it made it harder for him to secure funding from Saudia Arabian sources.
This is not a "Serverless" problem; this is a mistake a developer made that used a pay-per-use system. If I write code that launches EC2 instances and I accidentally set it to launch an instance every second instead of minute because I divided wrong, that's my fault.
At the moment electrics have lower marginal cost but much higher capital cost. That implies the average miles per car has to go up in order for them to make sense ...

The capability of "autonomous" is also overstated - at the moment there aren't the Level 6 autonomous cars that would be capable of dead-head journeys.
They didn't a year and a half ago. Created a 3k bill for my employer over RemoteApp. Yeah, charge per user, they said. Oh yeah, min 20 users, and we round up - of course in small print at the time.

Unless I have hard guarantees, I give "cloud providers" re-loadable cards. Can't take more money than what's on there.
Yes substantiveness and civility are related. However, making a point in 500 characters vs. 20,000+ characters lends itself to some brusqueness.

I agree however, that lack of civility can undermine your argument. See the very uncivil comments below from Damore's fellow Google employees, including managers. They undermine their argument and literally create a toxic and scary work environment.

I abbreviated the names, but these were all public statements. I just don't want to run afoul of any HN rules regarding naming names.

CB: "You know there are certain "alternative views, including different political views" which I do not want people to feel safe to share here... You can believe women or minorities are unqualified all you like — I can't stop you — but if you say it out loud, then you deserve what's coming to you. Yes, this is "silencing". I intend to silence these views... Take your false equivalence and your fake symmetry, and shove them hard up where the sun doesn't shine."

KB: "I am considering creating a public-inside-google document of "people who make diversity difficult"...which calls out those googlers who repeatedly made public statements that are unsupportive of diversity... Things I'm still pondering: should inclusion on the list require something resembling a trial? should people be removed after some period of time if they start behaving better?

CW: "One of the great things about Google's internal communication mechanism... is that, as a manager, I can easily go find out if I really want to work with you."

KE: "Your reply...ignores the many women Googlers who have expressed the frustration they feel as a result of this. F* off. Thanks for using your real name here, though. Makes it easier to update my spreadsheet."
That's a great assessment of the space! We're focused on the midsize self-insured market for that very reason. The incentives are closely aligned.

For example, ERs frequently take in patients hoping to get a UTI treated. Much of the time, the right treatment is a prescription. But, going to the ER to get the diagnosis can cost ~$2K (split between the employer and the employee) and take as long as 12 hours of waiting in the waiting room.

In this case, if a patient uses a telemedicine provider for the same service, they're likely to get the same diagnosis and prescription but the visit will cost ~$50.

The nearly $2K in savings would go to both the employee and employer, the employee saves money and is able to get treatment faster.
It’s not about work. Borrowing money isn’t time-consuming. It’s about the cost of capital, and the inefficiency of requiring a scarce resource to be locked up with no other purpose than lowering the risk of losing a week’s revenue from 0.1% to zero.
For what it's worth, my largely ignored website ranked for 3x as many terms in Google Webmaster after I switched to SSL
It never seemed like a sustainable business model. After a year you build up enough skills that you no long need them. Also I can source ingredients locally more inexpensively and fresher.
The (only?) female-founded, tech unicorn you've never heard of. For some reason, Epic, and it's enormous success, doesn't get much coverage.
the analogy doesn't really hold to coinbase though. Shovels are a utility for mining gold. That would correlate to GPUs and other computer hardware. In that regard perhaps the VCs should be investing in AMD or Nvidia.
> Maybe if people weren't given a suggestion of how fast to drive, they would be more likely to drive within their personal safety limit (whether that be faster or slower).

I have the impression that this is very different in most of Europe compared with most of the places in the US I've driven: in the US, most roads have a speed limit ultimately set to the lower of what's politically acceptable and what an engineering is willing to sign off on as safe, AFAIK; in most parts of Europe, there are two or three standard speed limits (urban, rural, highway) that apply everywhere and speed limits are only altered downwards if there's a stretch that's a particular crash hotspot.

For example, I've been down plenty of narrow roads around the UK where the speed limit was the standard 60mph, but good luck going more than 20mph even if you know the road well. As such, you're already expected to use personal judgement. By comparison, all of the rural roads in the US I've driven down that were at all tight had speed limits like 20 or 30mph, and if anything they were set lower than I would've driven down them had they been higher.
None of those companies exist in my country. But no, I haven't seen it done here. Though 80% of a product is 0% of a product, so just a box of ingredients isn't quite what I'm getting it. What I'm talking about is the whole shebang and the design to drive you towards being able to wield the full power of your grocery store.

That being said, I wish we at least had what you describe :)
>Pedestrians at stop signs might do the same for ICEs, etc.

Two groups of people will drive ICEs in that future. Poor people who are still driving 2023 Camrys and rich people driving higher end or enthusiast target ICE stuff.

More than a few in the latter group will consider such an attempt at shaming them as an invitation to spin the tires all the way through the intersection when the light turns green. Tire smoke smells bad to most people.
And now we wait for the first reports of production services that were shutdown due to spending limits :)
Perhaps. I'm a pretty covering-all-bases type person and the most common (often inadvertent) con pulled on me involved people pretending to be good at something they weren't, in some way.

It's somehow really counter-intuitive and uncomfortable to challenge someone's honesty openly, maybe?

For example, I can be relatively rude and direct (without meaning to be about half the time), but when someone tells me a story that strikes me as unlikely or heavily embellished, I feel really uncomfortable challenging the story, because it's tantamount to saying "you're lying".

In the situations where I was 'conned', in hindsight I could have probably found ways to test the person involved surreptitiously. It just didn't enter my mind to do so. But openly challenging them just felt wrong to me, and it still does, because if you're wrong you just accused someone of lying.

So these days I make a game out of finding ways to surreptitiously test the people around me. I often forget how useful that approach is (trust, but test), and I guess your comment reminded me to apply it more.
>But guess how easily you can get marijuana, even where it's illegal

Guess how easily you can get any drug.....even in prisons. If we can't keep drugs out of prison then what chance is there to keep it out of the general public?

The war on drugs is over. Drugs won. Legalize them all, provide accurate labeling, and tax it. There is nothing left to "debate".
You know what I find mean? Getting locked out of my GDAX account for no apparent reason for months on end while ETH rises and I have no way of doing anything because I can't access my USD or ETH. Not one single word from support until one day I get a random message that directs me to an article that I've already read 10 times and is of no help.
Perhaps for some larger robots, but I can say that Universal Robots UR5s and Rethink Robotics Sawyers use them, so not completely out of favor :-)

Also the sets made by Harmonic Drive (the company) are definitely designed to be back-drivable. Your conment made me smile, because I remember that I heard the same thing about these gears. My first week at Rethink I asked my boss about it while looking on in slight horror at him moving around an unpowered robot while he was explaining the system to me -- I was very concerned we were about to break something!
That would also make the city completely inaccessible to people who can't walk those distances. The elderly, the disabled, the temporarily injured, etc. You'd also drastically increase commute times for the average person; a distance that takes 5 minutes to drive can take 30-60 to walk, and that's a huge amount of time wasted. (Not everyone can live within a few minutes walking distance of their workplace.) If you're talking about not having roads at all, you'd also break things like shipping and package delivery, other types of deliveries, trucking in general, many aspects of emergency services, and so on. Or just the ability to go pick up large/bulky items.

I'd love to see designs that rely less on cars as a sole means of transportation. They still have a place in the ecosystem, however, and they serve a useful function.
I should clarify, there should only be a pattern like that for the many frivolous services, and a different password for financial medical etc.
Well, it's not adminless either, as AWS have lots of them keeping the hosts alive and running.

But if you can ignore that, you can probably also ignore the fact that your code runs on a server.
From the article:

>Tipping off television crews to meetings between a diplomat and an activist, allowing the crews to burst in on the “secret” meeting and grill the parties on tape.

How is this happening if the meeting is taking place at an embassy? The premises of embassies are inviolable under the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations. So it's a failure on the part of the embassy security for reporters to burst in, but it's also a violation of a very basic diplomatic norm on the part of the Russians to let this sort of thing go unpunished.
that depends for 5$ it breaks after a certain level of traffic. for many applications its always better to spend $$ instead of things shutting down. (hosting is usually insignificant compared to people, revenue etc)
Except we do have direct evidence that gender bias leads to worse callback rates, worse initial evaluation of qualifications, worse promotion results, greater punishment for negotiating salaries, and expectations that are outside of job requirements.
It is an urban legend. It takes FAR too much effort to mask the flavour to make it a cost-effective substitute.

It's like the "McDonald's hamburger is really red meal worm" or "KFC is really genetically engineered boneless chicken monsters" myths.

We've gone back and for the with the idea of showing the probabilities across the matches.

Ultimately, to your point, we learned that at times it can scare users more than it can help them (e.g., if a condition goes from 0.5% to 1%)... not to say that we can't do that above a certain threshold.

We'll keep testing this. Is there a certain minimum probability you'd want to see before seeing a condition (e.g., if something is 1% matching vs 10% vs 70%)?
> Making a CryptoBank is like making a regular bank on hard mode.

Back in "the old days" bank security was based around metal vaults and guns. That I would also consider doing banking on hard mode.

Coinbase just needs good specialist engineers and a good insurance policy. Not much different from a traditional bank.

At least Coinbase has an advantage over traditional banks. Good engineers would probably rather work at Coinbase where they get to play with cool Bitcoin tech, rather than a stuffy old banking system which still limits passwords to 8 characters...
Markets Don't Work for Everything
Highlights one of the big issues in (Linux) desktop: nested inconsistent ad-hoc window management. Consider that in somewhat typical situation you would have your WM/compositor at top managing windows, then something like tilix managing its own panes/tabs, then tmux/screen also managing windows, and finally maybe vim/emacs which also does its own window management. That is four completely independent layers of window management, each of which does mostly the same basic thing.

It is interesting to imagine alternative universe where we instead would have advanced enough OS level window management that would allow deeper integration to underlying applications. E.g. something like OS level tree style tab -like window-management might be neat, especially if combined with powerful tiling management.
Yes! I've been trying to get an answer about if message signing will ever be fixed for months. They just closed my email ticket saying they're sorry they didn't have time to respond to it.
100% disagree, I think those houses look amazing. The brutalism ones aren't always my thing, but that second house (labeled 70's prefab) looks great.
The technology for autonomous cars does exist. Latest data from Waymo is that they can drive 5.000 miles on average before disengagement (https://medium.com/waymo/accelerating-the-pace-of-learning-3...).

They are not ready to be widely deployed but are close, which is why we're talking about them. It's an exciting technology with great potential impact on the future and a lot of that impact is positive.

As far as bikes go: no one is complaining about them. It's all in your mind.

As far as public transit: autonomous cars will improve it. By my calculations, autonomous car will be cheaper, unsubsidized, than a $2.50 bus ride subsidized by the city from our taxes (SF has ~$1 billion budget to fund money-loosing bart, buses etc.).

And that's cars. Things will be even cheaper if we get buses to be autonomous. At which point it's likely bus service will be cheaper and provided by a commercial company (the only reason public transport is government owned is because it looses money, so it wouldn't exist as private company).
Not sure why they would get a lot cheaper than they are today. For people who live in a place like NYC, it's pretty common to not own a car and just rent one when they go skiing or whatever. The driving factor tends to be not so much the cost of owning a car but the costs associated with keeping one (parking, etc.) in a place like Manhattan.
I've built a fair amount of serverless services over the past two years using the Serverless framework, apex and straight API Gateway/Lambda.

It's nice not to have to worry about a server, but I feel like there are just as many little things to futz with in serverless architectures especially before "environment" variables existed in Lambda.
