Laws need to be objective to avoid bias and corruption. The vagueness of continuity you speak of manifests in the sentencing. Maybe the mandatory minimum for sex offender registration is too high, but the actual conviction needs to hold.
Wow. I've been a fan of Harry Dean Stanton for a very, very long time. His first credit is in the 1950s-- and he has a movie in post right now!

Some notable films you might want to check out (but might not realize are worth it)

Repo Man 1984 -- a major role for him in a cult classic from the punk rock era. Also young emilio estivez

Paris Texas 1984 -- A great film from the german director Wim Wenders, very much like a german David Lynch

Pretty In Pink 1986 -- A John Hughes film, Harry Dean Stanton plays Molly Ringwald's father in a touching performance

Wild at Heart 1990 -- An avant garde film by David Lynch with Nicholas Cage and Laura Dern in their prime. Probably Lynch's best movie, in my opinion.

The Straight Story 1999 -- Also by David Lynch this is actually a G rated film, about a guy who goes to visit his brother. It's kinda spectacularly touching while still being extremely minimalist in story.

Big Love 2006-2010 -- HBO TV Series about a mormon polygamist marriage, where Harry Dean Stanton plays an evil cult leader, super creepy, super effective and a "you love to hate him situation".

That may be a bit too many suggestions, but I pared it down from the 199(!) credits he has. I have seen all of the above and can recommend them all, though several are avant garde or not designed to be happy fun movies.

Also note he has a movie coming out soon-- Lucky -- where he plays the titular character and it looks to basically be an ode to Harry Dean Stanton.

RIP Harry-- you impacted my life and I will miss you.

It's basically people who want to work at places like google and earn $250k.

Still, there is a lot of "top talent" who chooses not to go that route. Working on my own stuff I get to work on much more interesting and challenging stuff -- as well as making a larger personal contribution to "changing the world" in a small way -- than I would likely achieve if I was working as a software engineer at google. I don't earn as much, but my quality of life is much better.

What exactly do I disagree with? The specs are fine, it's the implementation (the browsers) that are broken which is what I've been saying with this whole thread.

If the implementation is faulty, what is another spec going to solve? Again, there is no need for an "immutable" flag because existing cache headers already express everything that's necessary.
I think the point is that a fetus doesn't have the capacity to suffer before a certain point. A blastula of cells shortly after conception is not capable of feeling pain, but a fetus at 8 months likely is. OP is saying that it would be morally acceptable to terminate pregnancy before the point where we could establish that the fetus was capable of suffering.

It sounds like you're confused...I'm saying the NSA may have chat logs of the hacking group itself.

These "hacking groups" range from script kiddies that can barely phish, to world class programmers working with billions in resources.

Regardless of who did it, it's entirely possible that the NSA has damning evidence of what went down.
> and object/GC overhead? It's GC tracked objects after all, right? (again, I admit to knowing next to nothing about Go's runtime)

Go has value semantics. So when you have a `[]T` ("slice of T"), then what you have is 24 bytes on the stack consisting of the aforementioned `SliceHeader` type. So there's no extra indirection there, but there might be a write barrier lurking somewhere. :-)

> I don't know elasticsearch, but if this is something like a database where millions of objects are tracked

Elasticsearch is built on top of Lucene, which is a search engine library, which is itself a form of database. I don't think there's any inherent requirement that a database needs to have millions of objects in memory at any given point in time. There are various things you can ask Elasticsearch to do that will invariably cause many objects to be loaded into memory; and usually this ends up being a problem that you need to fix. It exposes itself as "OMG Elasticsearch is spending all its time in GC," but the GC isn't the problem. The allocation is.

In normal operation, Elasticsearch isn't going to load a millions of objects into memory. Instead, its going to read objects that it needs from disk, and of course, the on disk data structures are cleverly designed (like any database). This in turn relies heavily on the operating system's page cache!

You need enough charge to drive a short distance and do some maneuvering with a full truck, unload, get uphill with an empty truck, and get it loaded and drive a short distance fully loaded to the slope. From that point on you're back to charging the batteries from regenerative breaking while you're rolling downhill.

That sounds very doable in the battery charge that allows a Tesla Model S to travel from LA to NY.
I'm not sure I see it that way. We're effectively biological computers that run an unknown, self-modifying program.

We know when the body begins to develop (conception), but we're uncertain as to what sensory input is being processed, whether that program is aware of its own state, and such things may vary between individuals.

We have bright lines, but none that have sufficient agreement about their use in all cases for legal purposes.

Browsers are free to make a request "just in case" with cache control. With immutable, they are strongly discouraged from doing so. My point is, browsers aren't broken according to the spec if they make those just in case requests.

You can't 'recall' something you already sent out to browsers, and if you need to mutate then it's easy to make a new URL.

This header won't make browsers cache data any differently. It skips a step when the cache is being read from.
Problem with disabling autoplay completely is that it sort of breaks gifv and embedded content inside reddit and twitter. You sometimes need to press Play or space bar to get them going.

Thankfully in latest Safari you can check "Audio needs user action" which seems to solve the problem, although now some videos manage to start autoplay without my action.
I also disagree with the term 'disaster'. That implies accidental, unanticipated, or maybe even just oops.

If you were to expand it to 'disaster capitalism', profiting (exploiting) the misfortune of others while intentionally making things worse, then I'd be in agreement.

A hurricane is a disaster. The US healthcare racket is a deliberate snafu.
This is hard to do in practice. I've heard someone vehemently defend a relationship they had at 14 with an older fellow. They categorized it as a positive experience that helped them discover themselves. It may have even been 13; I forget.

It took several years and they finished early last year, much better article on Wired: https://www.wired.com/2016/03/epic-story-dropboxs-exodus-ama...

TechCrunch is only useful for headlines today, go elsewhere for actual content.
(Dropbox employee)

I don't think this article is news. The editorialized title in HN is unfortunate and I wish a mod can change it. The article talks about the reasons Dropbox decided to move 500PB storage into our own data centers. Also like the article mentions, "They still use AWS for some workloads".

Edit: Here is another HN submission of the same piece with the correct headline. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15257331
So here is how it happens...

Graphic designer designs cheque. For the design to be signed off he/she includes 'lorem ipsum' placeholder text for the special numbers at the bottom.

Design gets signed off, a template is made for the programmers to use.

In the code a third party library is used to make it 'easy' to create a PDF. This process consists of opening the template, adding a line of text to it and printing it as a PDF to another file, ready for the printer.

A little while later the graphic designer edits the template to make a few amends. The file is re-saved, this fresh copy no longer contains the fonts not in the document. The placeholder text having long gone, the font for it is not saved. The other fonts for the cheque are, they moved across and were catered for by the software in the updated template.

The software runs exactly as before, just the template file has been updated. However now the font is not found unless installed or cached on the computer or printer.

The programmer never had to embed the font, his/her third party library abstracted that requirement away. The programmer had worked with the library before and knew that it was best to use Helvetica because PDF knows that is a built in and therefore does not need to bloat the document with the default fonts. Any other font would add megabytes to the document. So there was probably no oversight by the programmer.

However there may have been a micro-manager that was 'responsible' for micro-managing the update to the template. This probably involved meetings and conference calls and deadlines for 'the project' on the whiteboard. Not wishing to overstretch programmer resources, the micro-manager took it on himself to make sure the programmer was not 'interrupted' so he got another lackey to upload the new cheque template. This all worked fine initially.

Had there not been a micro-manager then the graphic designer would have had to have worked with the programmer, without the micro-manager or his lackey. The programmer would have picked up on the smaller file size as this would be a noticeable change. Instinctively the programmer would have made a test run and, not having fonts on his/her dev box, would have detected the problem right away. Meanwhile, the lackey with no knowledge of things like version control just uploaded the template as told, blindly unaware of the requirements to 'check your work'.

Why didn't the micro-manager check that the font wasn't embedded? That is what I want to know.
But in the current world, you can serve new content on the conditional check that caches currently do.

That said, I am ultimately for this. I think. There is plenty of data showing that this is a low hanging fruit to hit.
Yep, that's him. "But my hair is still in curlers!"
It's a lot and yet it somehow seems cheap at the price. DAROA seems to invest on a similar scale.
MySQL still has massive usage, and isn't going anywhere.
NoScript tames all the dark patterns enabled by HTML5.
The conditional check that they do sometimes. Now half your users see the new version and half see the old version. Not much of a recall.
> Parenting is a two person effort. Don't shut out the mother's thoughts on it just because you disagree

Sometimes one or the other is flat out wrong and it's ok to be firm in that case. For example, it's taken my wife about 6 years (and a small fortune in family therapy) to realize that backsliding on boundaries and discipline undermines all boundaries and discipline, including mine. Thankfully she has finally heard me when I've explained why DD took me seriously, while ignoring and walking all over my DW.
Can we remove /amp/ from the end of the URL? Some people still use HN on a laptop or a desktop.

Also, as mentioned elsewhere in the comments here, it should be retitled to "Why Dropbox decided to drop AWS"
Section 3. Security Considerations

"Clients SHOULD ignore the immutable extension from resources that are not part of an authenticated context such as HTTPS. Authenticated resources are less vulnerable to cache poisoning."

This must NOT read SHOULD. It must read MUST! Otherwise, your computer will be subject to an executable planting vulnerability.

I'm surprised they don't have a much larger list of security considerations. There are many other issues that can happen.
Noooooo! It was only recently pointed out to me how amazing an actor he was. At least he left an amazing legacy for me to while.
You're deliberately misinterpreting what he's saying. Apply that 'logic' to the first clause: Dying of disease or predation alone in a jungle or on a savanah is the default consequence of living. That's biological fact. You can't legislate that away.

I know why you picked that latter bit - it makes a cool sound bite. But it's just wrong, and whatever 'biology' imposes on us, we as a society shouldn't look at those loose shackles and say, "yes, this is the way it must always be."

ALSO, reproduction is the default consequence of a specific kind of sex under certain conditions, it's not like it's a 100% guarantee. Treating it as such makes you sound like a Texas lawmaker's favorite textbook.

Gotta admire the artful way they gave the appearance of disclosure while avoiding answering the most damning question: why did it take so long for them to patch Struts?

"The particular vulnerability in Apache Struts was identified and disclosed by U.S. CERT in early March 2017."

"Equifax's Security organization was aware of this vulnerability at that time, and took efforts to identify and to patch any vulnerable systems in the company's IT infrastructure."

?????????!!!!!!??????

"While Equifax fully understands the intense focus on patching efforts, the company's review of the facts is still ongoing."
They disrupted and dominated their industry while on AWS, and I'm sure it would have been cost prohibitive to do it while young and without customers.
The title here isn't quite accurate.

Dropbox has moved user data from S3 to its own colocated data centers over the past few years, and is also doing compute in those data centers too. The compute actually existed for quite a long time - in the past you'd be talking to a Dropbox run server which would connect back to S3 to retrieve data.

Dropbox is definitely still an AWS customer, just not a major S3 or EC2 customer anymore. For example, all transactional email uses SES, and DNS is hosted on Route 53.
They did this a while ago.

> I don't think the blue horse thing is an example of this

An example of what? Japanese "ao" referring to white or black horses is a direct holdover from ao's vague early usage, but that doesn't mean it's unique to Japanese.

I'd imagine the "blue roan" thing is due to "blue" having earlier meanings of gray or lead-colored, but a quick google didn't turn up any explanations about the horse specifically.
You're just making assumptions. Why does a UI have to be trendy to be good? Seems like a big leap to get from the UI to the development method to the health of the project.
Thanks! Generally, I think the challenge for us is going to be the same as for many other consumer-ish mental health startups. The experience is really effective, but most people aren't looking for this specific approach to solve their problem. So building awareness is super valuable.

Our main goal is to help as many people as cost-effectively as we can. After thinking a lot about it, I think there's more evidence we can scale better as a for profit.
NASA's Cassini sends back one final image of Saturn
I have a feeling this will end up like HSTS. It sounds really great at first, then a bunch of folks will get burned by it (just wait until somebody accidentally sets it for /index.html or whatever), and finally the general recommendation will be to stop using it altogether ("more harm than good").

Forever is such a long time.

Besides, aren't there already ways to say "cache this resource for <acceptable timeframe>"?
The Echo lets you choose from a few wake words, but it takes a restart to change so I’m guessing there’s a firmware update implied with doing it.
Being unfamiliar with Peter Singers ethical approach, it was not clear to me from the parent comment alone that the notion of suffering extended also to a developed fetus.

While an interesting approach, I'm not sure I agree that the ability to suffer is enough of a definition of humanity to use in isolation. It also does not account for scenarios where one might be willing to suffer on behalf of another. In other words, I'm not sure there exists an absolute scale of suffering which we can use to judge the morality of such a scenario. Again, maybe I'm not familiar enough with this ethical framework.
On point 1) yes so they would have to compile, that is not a huge barrier and it would also result in improved quality of modules just as CI/CD does.

On 2) even if you ignore the much larger attack surface due to running ALL installs as the root user, consider the one-shot opportunities by disabling the protections of capabilities(7)

It is just the basic principle of least privilege. Heck if irssi can bother with an apparmor profile, the maintainers of pip or the package should be able to.
> housing prices out of reach

It is funny you say that because the Amish and Old Order Mennonites in my area are moving away because farmland is out of reach for them.
I'm not in favor of that at all. Neither I am favor of throwing the adult book meant for serious predators at kids messing around (which happens now in other areas and it really shouldn't).

What I am in favor of is a different set of rules for minors self distributing. Possibly deferred adjudication and counseling first offense, ramping up from there. It is behavior that could cause trouble for the kid and possibly for others, can't just say "have at it!". But neither should it make one a registered sex offender with all that baggage.
Actually, since the servers themselves are physical assets with a useful life, and indeed could be leased independently from the business model during that useful life, they'd be modeled as depreciation not amortization. But yes, EBITDA would be increased either way.

Realistically, the valuation multiples on EBITDA for mature SaaS businesses are different from those for datacenter operators, and someone building a financial model for Dropbox would now likely take a blend of these this into consideration. So EBITDA is by no means the end-all be-all here.

EDIT: And taxation is a different story altogether, as in either the cloud or own-hardware case, Dropbox can write off expenses or depreciation respectively.
While lots of teens are sending pictures, the number of cases that actually get involved in the legal system tends to be low.

Generally something stupid has to happen--posted to Facebook, being shared around at school, comes up in a divorce proceeding, found on phone while being searched, etc.--before a DA is going to bother getting involved.

Vastly more than 10x as many teens send sexting photos than their are child predators out there. So, your harming large numbers of children to do what? Kill free speech for the fun of it?

What's next, outlawing anatomy textbooks? Prostituting people for baby photo's of their kids? That may sound silly, but the edge cases on this get complex. What happens if a kid texts a picture of a rash on their privates to their doctor?

PS: Remember with the current state of AI we could flag every single sexting photo ever posted. So, what your going have this minor conviction of a large percentage of teenagers...
