> And even so, why would you put the extra burden on your friends to contact you in a special way? Why wouldn't you make it easy for them to contact you?

Texting is just as easy as facebook messaging. Or they can use discord, slack, etc etc. facebook isn't the only way to contact someone that is easy.

> But there are plenty of acquaintances, groups, events and whatnot that only get organized or contacted on facebook.

Maybe this is because I grew an introvert, but I can deal with being by myself as well as most of my friends. Going to events, etc isn't a must have. It's something that you can do if you want too. If I want to go hang out, then I will contact people. I will make it easy for them to say yes/no/no response. But I don't have to be apart of every group meeting, or every little discussion.
Not trying to be snarky, but what's complex about Inception? Once you're past the two premises (you can infiltrate dreams; you can dream recursively) this is just a heist movie without any significant plot twist, by which I mean there is no world-changing or premise-questioning event, and only one apect of said premises (the altered length of "lived time") is explored.

To use other Nolan movies as a point of comparison, Memento and The Prestige are much more accomplished in terms of fully exploiting their concepts. And within the domain of movies exploring the theme of "your lived experience is a dream/illusion", there are much more effective and/or complex examples[1].

I have a feeling that Inception is kind of like Interstellar in terms of public perception: people are psyched by the initial concept, so they don't pay attention to the fact that its underlying narrative structure is pretty run-of-the-mill.

I guess I sound like a buzzkill! If I've missed any deep concept within Inception, I'd be glad to be schooled/enlightened, since I like understanding what makes a movie tick. Also, I don't think it's a bad movie at all, just that it's not that complicated once we're past the initial disorientation.

[1] Before anybody asks, in no particular orders: In The Mouth Of Madness, Mulholland Drive, Paprika, Written By. In a different vein: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Hell, even Total Recall (1990 version) and The Matrix probably apply.
Ask HN: How to transfer a project IP from a C-Corp to a person?
Basically, I want to figure out the cheapest & lowest-friction way to do this IP transfer.

Some specific questions:

- Any legal document that needs to be signed? I assume there's some kind of IP transfer agreement.

- Does this need to involve attorney? Or if the board of the C-Corp agrees, then just do it (e.g., two parties sign the document, then done)?

- If the IP transfer is done, can that person start a company on the project and raise VC money?

This introduces a dependency on which pod runs on which host, unless you have puppet write the config for every service to every host.

People tend to use Puppet less to configure their applications as they move into containers, as a configuration change can just be made by rolling out a new image.
I don't understand why this matters though?

Google is tracking you. If you don't want to be data-mined, you shouldn't be using Google. If you are using Google, it means you don't mind being tracked. It means you are placing the convenience that Google provides above your concerns about what a faceless corporation can do with your data. If you don't mind being tracked, AMP is not a problem.

I understand how you could dislike Google. I don't understand how you could dislike AMP specifically, but not necessarily google.
Any particular reason you didn't choose something like overlay2?
> If there's anything we've seen, over and over again, it's that theoretical and infeasible attacks eventually become, in order:

In general, yes it's always good to keep in mind that just as technology progresses exponentially, technological attacks also progress exponentially.

BUT, theoretical attack -> weaponized attack is hardly an axiom. To take a page out of history which I believe is apropos, let us recall the old myth of recovering data from an erased hard drive.

Way back in yonder years it was widely believed that three letter agencies could take any hard drive that had been erased, and recover all the data by carefully analyzing the residual magnetic flux. A single erase, the theory went, wasn't enough to fully wipe the magnetic signal.

The idea was so pervasive that security obsessed peoples would wipe their drives 6, 7, maybe even 8 times just to be sure. That'll stop those three letter agencies!

Well, as time went on it turned out the theoretical attack became less plausible and less feasible! We have no evidence that such a technique was _ever_ used. And while, in theory, it _may_ have been possible when the myth started, the relentless march of platter density rendered it less and less feasible as time went on.

It's hard to know what attacks will follow the exponential curve upward towards weaponization, and which will follow it downward to obscurity. Best to just keep your wits about you, I say.
It made sense when there were only a few platforms doing streaming services. If everyone starts doing it, the walls begin to close in. Then all of a sudden there are hundreds of streaming services all with their own exclusive content. At that point, what makes it different than a TV channel besides being on-demand?
Great points, but what's next after streaming?
> Our terms of service reserve the right for us to terminate users of our network at our sole discretion. The tipping point for us making this decision was that the team behind Daily Stormer made the claim that we were secretly supporters of their ideology.

The key driver for the way we approach draw.io is the trust issue that all SaaS apps suffer from. Not only do they have your data, they have the app as well.

We always followed the approach of never store user data. On the app side of things, open sourcing the codebase went part of the way, but you'd still have to be technical enough to serve the app.

The Desktop versions are critical in that regard, you know you've got a tool that can't be taken away that will always open your diagrams (which you control the storage of).

You don't hear SaaS providers talking about this, because giving up control means lower profits, less chance of an IPO.
Do you have any sources to back up your claim the the term "Alt-right" can be traced back to Ron Paul and the tea party?

Wikipedia says the first usage of the term "alternative right" was by Paul Gottfried in 2008 (http://forward.com/news/national/348372/meet-the-jewish-pale...)

It also says that the first usage of the contracted form "alt-right" was by Richard Spencer. https://www.adl.org/education/resources/backgrounders/alt-ri... http://www.newyorker.com/news/benjamin-wallace-wells/is-the-... and https://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/21/us/alt-right-salutes-dona... quote Spencer as claiming to be the person who coined the term. And there's like a dozen other citations on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alt-right

Where are your sources?

With boomers, they loved their good ole' TV.

With millennials, they loved their good ole' streaming services.

With Gen Z, they love their smartphones. Does this mean the next big thing will be micro POV content tailored towards Gen Z? That could be the most accessible and democratized content there has ever been.

Maybe being a world class communicator could have helped Damore avoid some of the ire, but it's plainly wrong to attribute this drama to him instead of the reactionaries who were so giddy at the opportunity to take offense that they needed to invent content and context to be outraged about. Seems like blaming the woman in the full burqa for being raped--if only she had better covered herself, she might not have caused this response in her rapist.

Damore did everything right here. Whatever you think, his post was collaborative, not confrontational (he remained focused on what Google could do to improve, repeatedly affirmed his commitment to the common goal, etc).
We are using ecfg (from Shopify) and Jenkins+kubectl. We use ansible for a couple of things but it's largely only because of some parameters of our architecture for a legacy monolith.
This section is troubling.

> In a not-so-distant future, if we're not there already, it may be that if you're going to put content on the Internet you'll need to use a company with a giant network like Cloudflare, Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Amazon, or Alibaba.

For context, Cloudflare currently handles around 10% of Internet requests.

Without a clear framework as a guide for content regulation, a small number of companies will largely determine what can and cannot be online.
New Track from Gee Kazz and Young Moses “Ballers Ave”
How much of this is actual desire by web publishers, and how much is just collective stupidity. Do they really want their websites to be a hassle to use? To have readers turn away because it doesn't load faster enough, or at all?

I think it is more likely that they just higher web-developers, according to some cultural norm about how to select devs and about what features to specify. And those devs choose frameworks according to other cultural norms about what makes a good web framework. They are partly, but not completely constrained in this by the requested features set.

The result is bloated JS applications where mere pages are required, but the complexity of the system, and the social inertia is so great that nobody can fix, or even perceive the problem.
> casual isn't friendship

Why not? People are busy. They have jobs and partners and pets and sometimes kids. All of that takes time and attention.

These days I talk less to my closest friends than I did to my farthest acquaintances in high school or even college. It's kinda sad but that's just how it is. And trying to get together face-to-face? LoL, it can take months to align our schedules.

And when it comes to larger stuff. Sometimes you just wanna organize a birthday party or something for everyone, you know? If I want to invite you to a party like that, are we not friends?

Interesting read.
The consequences of this will be important.

I always thought the balkanization of the internet would occur because of world governments not because of tech leaders personal feelings or corporate influence.

I expect tech leaders to be dragged in front of the senate real soon.
A bunch of the downvotes have nothing to do with liking white power. Rather, they have something to do with disliking calls for censorship, imprisonment, and mandatory psychological treatment. (The last one in particular makes me think of the USSR.)
Project Management for Hackers
Its not about eliminating the technology; its about choosing its presence. These safety features are not free to have, and are not necessarily worth their cost, in every situation.

But by enforcing it at the federal level you remove that choice from consumers everywhere, with at best a limited understanding of the environment in which the rule is being applied.

It is not nonsensical that I might want a $400 death trap versus a $5k properly regulated and safety-confirmed vehicle if I immediately need a car, and I don't have 5k to spend. What regulations do is fuck over anyone who wants the $400 death trap (valid reasons), by only allowing the $5k (and better) to exist. The guys who can afford the regulated machine are better off, the guys who can't are worse off.

Why might I be fine with a death trap? Because its that or I lose my job, and I'm willing to take on that risk. And I'm assuming I can better gauge the meaning of that risk for myself than the governments can (whereas they have a better understanding at a macro level)

Its not about safety, its about autonomy, and the belief that the government is just able to make poor decisions as you are, but their mistakes are far longer lasting, and destructive.

from "Der Fremde in uns" ("The Stranger Within Us") by Arno Gruen.. from one of the last chapters, crappy translation below the German:

> Mit liebevoller Toleranz und verständnisvollem Entgegenkommen werden wir gewalttätige Rechtsradikale und Neo-Nazis nicht besänftigen können. Aus der Forschung mit geschändeten und mißhandelten Kindern ist bekannt, daß diese auf liebevolles Entgegenkommen mit Haß und Gewalt reagieren. [..]

> Haß und Gewalt sind jedoch auch nicht die geeigneten Gegenmittel. Im Umgang mit haßerfüllten Menschen gilt es vor allem, konsequent zu sein. Das heißt: Grenzen setzen! Das ist die einzige Sprache, die Menschen ohne innere Identität verstehen. Wer ihnen helfen möchte, braucht eine innere Authorität. [..]

> Konsequenz trägt zunächst zur Beruhigung derjenigen bei, die Autorität für ihr Persönlichkeitsgefüge brauchen. Bei Hitlers Putsch 1923 in München geschah das Gegenteil. Als die bayrische Regierung Hitler mit ein paar Schüssen Einhalt gebot, fiel dessen Bewegung zusammen. Erst als die gerichtlichen Instanzen ihm verständnisvoll als Menschen mit berechtigtem "Leid" entgegenkamen, verkehrte sich der Zusammenbruch in einen Neubeginn.

-----

> With loving tolerance and an understanding approach we won't be able to placate violent right-wing extremists and neo-nazis. From the studies with abused children we know, that they react with hatred and violence to a loving approach. [..]

> But hatred and violence is not the appropriate anti-dote either. When dealing with hateful people the most important thing is to be consequent. This means: setting boundaries! This is the only language that people without an inner identity understand. Who wants to help them needs inner authority. [..]

> Being consequent calms those who need authority for their personality structure. During Hitlers coup [attempt] 1923 in Munich the opposite happened. When the Bavarian government stopped Hitler with a few bullets, the movement collapsed. Only when the judicial instances approached him understandingly as a human with justified "suffering", the collapse reversed into a new beginning.

I'd say the ACLU may be great with many things, but here, they're way out of their depth. As is HN. Even journalists begging Trump for a statement, while well meaning, are way too weak; either you respect the office of President or the person currently holding it, you can hardly have both. Generally it would be great if those who don't have the guts and the grounding for the necessary confrontations would stop trying to stop those who do. Arno Gruen, Hannah Arendt, et al: don't discard the wisdom they extracted from things that can simply not be allowed to happen again. Or ignore all I said, but do read their books. I left out big chunks from the Arno Gruen quote; when he says being consequent and setting boundaries he really means disarming people, not wailing on them or anything. I'm too full of spite for that job, but I'd have the back of anyone who isn't but also isn't a coward. Nothing more, nothing less.
Cloudflare Is No Longer Protecting Neo-Nazi Site Daily Stormer from Attacks
"Literally, I woke up in a bad mood and decided someone shouldn’t be allowed on the Internet. No one should have that power."

I've been jumping back and forth over the fence on this topic, but this stance is where I've ended up.
Isn't this end game what a lot of people wanted (including myself). Pay for only the channels you want, when you want. I like not having to pay for ESPN when the Warriors aren't playing (although pay per game might make me even happier at the right price).

Then you are probably not the target group in the first place.
And yet, everyone trying to work against this gets immediately downvoted on HN, because everyone considers the work of these companies just so convenient.

It’s classical short-term vs. long-term thinking, and it’s damaging not just to privacy, but also to the startup economy as a whole.
I read these things and I wish I could understand it with a cursory knowledge of mathematical theory, but alas, I'm left longing for understanding, because it seems like a really interesting debate.
The only hope is that the people on the both sides see the flaws in both of their failed strategies.

In the current form that means that

a) the left realizes their obsession with outrage culture have taken fringe, nobody, groups like the 'alt-right' and made them powerful, when they otherwise wouldn't have been. While also making Trump look like an oppressed underdog speaking the 'truth' against a barage of largely overblown exageration and fear mongering. As well as having empowered a number of unhelpful leftist groups in their own ranks who only further alienate their cause amongst the centrists whom they desperately need.

b) the right realizes they will need to see beyond emotional gratification of having fringe groups like Trump and 'alt-right' gain new found power at the left's expense and look for the actual ROI these groups bring. People who gain power through controversy are only good at controversy, smart rational people are needed if you want good productive output.
It definitely seems like the wrong approach to me to have puppet manage your base images. They're not VM's, they shouldn't have multiple services, they shouldn't require any complex configuration management, they should just be the minimum requirements to support your application's local runtime dependencies, and that's it.

From previous experience migrating from a puppet setup to one that used containers, puppet's vestigial use case ends up being to get the orchestration control plane itself setup (ie. kubernetes, networking configs, etc) and that's about it.

Martin himself is the meta-troll most excellent here.
You can't not like that he named his company after Alan Turning. Daraprim (the only drug they sold) is used to treat toxoplasmosis, also known as "crazy cat person syndrome", a condition caused by parasite. It makes you slightly crazy / more neurotic and you get it from living with cats.

He grey hat hacked the pharma system in a way that exposed the vulnerabilities of a the insurance payments here in the US. He did give it at no cost to anyone that reached out to him about not being able to afford it. From everything I've read about him, I really don't think he did this with the intent to harm, rather to show how effed it really is, by orders of magnitude.

What I didn't think he expected was for every other pharma multinational to follow suite, since he basically got away with it, got pretty wealthy too.

Free speech does not mean a company has to take part in spreading it :).

Free speech is about your right to speak without the government locking you up, or censoring those who choose to broadcast/spread it. But nothing about free speech says someone else has to listen or spread it for you, companies included.

The line is drawn at calling for violence though, which is pretty fucking tricky to navigate.
