Don't mistake institutional and cultural memory, which are not the same thing! A memory in the intellectual elite sense, and a political cultural memory, and a widespread low-cultural set of norms and understandings are also different things. All apart from the institutions of state, or religion, or bureaucracy, or commerce, and so on, which may have traditions and functional memory going back decades or millennia, depending.

Ask HN: Brainstorming Canvas
HI Fellow HN readers
While working on new products (or just brainstorming) I end up with a lot of scattered information in different file formats and places. I am sure there must be a better way to do it.
Tried some tools but couldn't find something suitable, OneNote seems to be the right fit but can't do mindMaps

Is there a tool that can do following bit on one canvas.

Text, Excel, Embed Images, Simple MindMaping, Collaboration

Also, if you can share the process and tools that you guys use brainstorming/Information dumping that'll be great.

This is indeed a fascinating license, but most large corp legal teams do all they can to avoid anything with GPL ties in fear of legal issues forcing them to open proprietary code by proximity of GPL code used. Perceived risk aversion. This is short sighted.

BSL on the other hand could give large corps assurance that new technology from startups is safe to invest in, because if the startup goes away, (large % do) the code becomes open source as per this specific BSL.

This does not seem to address the case where someone chooses to simply not update a version of the BSL licensed code and its license expires while new versions maintain the BSL and extend the expiration.

It seems the licensing mechanism needs to use a blockchain type validation mechanism to stay current, transparent and accountable.
If Equifax were running a vulnerable version of Apache Struts on CoreOS the the hack would have still happened.

That the CoreOS CEO has chosen to use the Equifax hack as a marketing opportunity is equally distasteful and disingenuous.

Also invoking the founding fathers, the Bill of Rights and the great Dr Martin Luther King in the as part of that marketing pitch is the height of bombast and absurdity.

I'm not sure about studies, but many cancer patients go on a very strict keto (very low carb (sugar), moderate protein and high fat) diet in hopes of shrinking the cancer tumors. Being on a keto diet will cause your body to switch from using glucose as a fuel source to using ketones. It's also a diet used for epilepsy treatment and by diabetics who have claimed to reverse their diabetes by staying on the diet.

This research seems to suggest their experience isn't just anecdotal.
Supposed to, perhaps. But it's not going to happen. Kerberos is ridiculously complex (it's not named after Hades' three-headed dog for nothing) and hard to deploy. When used it is usually only done for company's own/internal apps. I don't think I've ever seen anything with Kerberos on the public internet.

The description on Wikipedia for Cerberus/Kerberos is pretty apt when applied to the protocol too:

> Cerberus was the offspring of the monsters Echidna and Typhon, and usually is described as having three heads, a serpent for a tail, and snakes protruding from parts of his body.

This would be perfect for me, and I suspect there are a lot of people in my situation: I would far prefer to pay for news than have intrusive and possibly dangerous advertising, and I do subscribe to a couple of news sites. I'm not going to subscribe to every paywalled news site that I might want to read, but I would be happy to pay for an occasional article.

If micropayments were ever to really take off, it would shift the balance of power on the internet in an interesting way.

I like CoreOS, and I know this is some post that is meant for marketing purposes. But it's a shame they're propagating a myth that good security is the result of good tools.

It's a common fallacy to think that these security problems have a technical solution first. They don't. CoreOS makes tools that helps security aware companies/organizations implement security, but being sufficiently security aware is the first step. Buying and using CoreOS products and support does not help you anything if you don't know how to use it well, or if your organization doesn't allow the engineers to use them effectively. It's become abundantly clear that mismanagement is the root cause of the Equifax hack, and that the vulnerable Struts server is just a symptom of it. A fool with a tool is still a fool.

It's attractive to think CoreOS's products, or some other vendor's product, would have avoided this. But given the mismanagement it seems unlikely, and at best it would have just plugged a hole until another one popped up at some later time. Who knows that they already plugged some earlier worse holes with some other security products. Making the tools to make the internet more secure is the easy part. The hard part is getting everyone to use them in the right way. If tools and only buying things were the answer, the internet would have been a much more secure place already.

So keep doing you CoreOS, keep making those tools. But please don't oversell yourself.
> This does not surprise me.

It shouldn't. That anyone would take a basket of hedge funds and think it would win vs the market is madness. Active investment is negative sum due to fees - it's essentially implausible for hedge funds on average to generate alpha.

There are plenty which do. There are lots which actually simply provide alternative Betas, or smart betas, or whatever. Some of them have genuinely reasonable fee structures! Finding those funds and even getting access to give them your money is really problematic (and often results in another layer of fees to "access providers").
GoCardless CEO: ‘I still feel like I’m the same person’
Bitcoin.de has a cooperation with Fidor, which is a regular bank in Germany.

When trading on their platform you always trade directly with one other customer. The funds are transfered directly from your Fidor bank account.

Of course, the BTC/BCH will still be on the marketplace until you remove them.

Common wisdom these days is: The only safe place for crypto coins are paper wallets (and, arguably, hardware wallets).

According to the Armenian-Turkish language researcher Sevan Nişanyan[1], it is of Persian origin, with a likely link to the Old Turkish "Tez", which means escaping. Going very off-topic here but it's interesting if you like etymology: In modern Turkish "Tez" means "in a short time", but also "thesis", which we borrowed from French who took it (ultimately) from Old Greek "títhēmi" which is evolved from the root "*dhē-" (to put) in the Proto-Indo-European language.

If you can predict that reliably and no one else can, you will be rich.
We ask citizens to verify their identity with either passport, driving license or other forms of id alongside perhaps some evidence of bills that have been delivered to their address.

We would have had ids a decade ago if the government didn't try to tie it into an encompassing database that would have allowed the Home Office to perform joins between driving, health and police records at whim. Also that legislation would have explicitly allowed the Home Office to effectively repeal citizenship at a touch of a button as it was also going to be used as the only means of access to healthcare and benefits.
If they'd been less greedy with the initial implementation they could have started down this road. If they had a track record of delivering IT projects we might have trusted them.

Indeed. I see this incomprehensible "You are posting too fast" - mostly when I try to submit a link, which I now no longer do. I also limit my visits to the comments section to once or twice a week because fuck random downvotes. I don't give a shit about imaginary internet points, but I give a shit about the feeling of hanging out with a crowd of smug, self-satisfied know-it-all hipster webdevs that are offended by different points of view that cannot be bothered to engage in meaningful discussion and the hyper-focus afforded to them by their adderal doesn't allow for more consideration besides clicking that fucking "down" button. (I apologise if I omitted to offend your specific stereotype, leave a comment and I will be sure to include it next time)

I know that the majority of HN visitors actually are not like that, but if you spend some time considering your point of view, write it down in coherent and mostly grammatically correct English, just for some lazy fucker to come along and click "down" it is they who contribute to the low signal to noise ratio and devalue the HN experience, not you, and that is the feeling you are left with - the visible results to your efforts.

I like how some other sites do this - no downvotes, only a "spam" flag, or a significant cost to downvotes (several karma points or something).

I have been here long enough to know that this will be grey before the database is backed up, and nothing will really change, so I fully applaud "Quiet Hackernews". I personally use an RSS feed.

That sounds like an awesome startup idea. Except that the startup will run out of money after two years and sell your secrets to the highest bidder. Or they will become big enough to be bought by one of the Internet majors who will just shut down the servers and keep the developers.

No, they mean that we need a better method than trusting some random popular GitHub / PyPy / npm whatever storage and delivery mechanism.

Strong core language libraries ("batteries included"), that come with your distribution of the language/compiler and are well maintained, used by millions, and signed would be a good start to at least have 80% of dependencies being actually dependable.

OK, sure. But now you have a system that has only a monotonically increasing memory footprint. In other words, it's leaking memory. This is undesirable because memory is finite.

This is the core issue behind a lot of the differences between competing programming languages. Languages like C and C++ allow you to manage memory on your own. If you can guarantee through your own program constraints that some piece of memory won't be referenced, then go ahead and free it if you need to. Other programming languages like Java, C#, Python, Javascript, etc. use a managed memory design. A runtime keeps track of memory usage and does "garbage collection" of memory that it can prove is not still in use. The overhead of the runtime and especially of garbage collection is a big sticking point in performance comparisons between such languages and C/C++. Other languages use still other techniques. Rust, for examples, uses a "borrow checker".
ID or not, it’s not a particularly smart idea to run illegal transactions through a system that records those transactions in a redundantly backed up and publicly viewable distributed database.
