One of my first projects at my first job out of college was working on AIMPages, AOL's myspace competitor. This was in 2006 but many many people were still on AIM. AOL never promoted the AIMPages, but I think they might have had a chance with it, especially if they had released it in 2005.

Isn't that generally what happens in most developing countries regardless, e.g. you put your wealth somewhere where it's safe?

I would assume Swiss and Luxembourg based banks these days have a lot more clients from ex-ussr countries than say the US and EU countries, because there is greater risk of confiscation (in different ways) of assets in those countries.

If you managed to somehow (honestly) make $50m in Russia, would you really keep it in Russia? I think the answer is probably no.
Thoughts from a data engineer
I want to host a fake neo-nazi convention but only let in undercover journalists and then watch them interact with each other.
Very true. It is extremely common for people to impose negativity into other people's textual comments. Very frequently some comment will be written that is flat, matter of fact, brief and trying to be helpful, and the writer will later be shocked by readers assuming sarcasm and insult. In general, the Internet does contain a lot of sarcasm and insult. But, I expect a huge amount of that is wrongly attributed. And, that extra dose feeds back into the assumption that negatively is standard practice on the net --leading to more legit negatively...
Thanks for checking us out! There is an international standard for this, DNS. Devices before 1987 are not supported (RFC 1035).

With regards to device hopping, try getting a spare router and setting it up then changing the Wifi password so kids only have access to the single router. Some routers will also enforce DNS packets (so even if they modify the DNS in their phone or tablet it will not work)

I agree we are not a replacement for parenting in general. We are a tool. We think parents want to be better at managing this but don't have the tools to do it. Even the best solutions available we could find require setting strict schedules or constantly being pestered to turn a site on or off.

Also we provide the ability to modify how long they get access for. It defaults to 30 minutes right now, but I would suggest setting it higher if you think they will put up a fight. What I have seen (even with myself) is virtually any amount of time limit will eventually invoke the "Why am I watching this?" effect since you value the time more if you work for it.

With regards to phones we have an Android app right now and are in the process of finishing our iOS app. Both platforms support installing an app that requires flashing the phone back to stock to disable it. We have tested this on both platforms but not yet enabled it since it complicates things and we are still getting what we have working. Also our apps are a VPN itself, and you cannot have multiple VPNs enabled on either platform. While we currently only use our Layer 2 control in the VPN to enforce DNS settings in the future we can do a lot more.
At times, like during the Cuban missile crisis, we were definitely closer to annihilation than 1%.

This was of course largely avoidable if president Kennedy had chosen to stand down as his Russian counterpart was offering[1].

If you think that models that are used to think about economy in aggregate somehow act as a guarantee that a life of an individual will not be wrecked as a result of large-scale automation.... well, lets discuss "lump of labor fallacy" when a former truck driver is "replacing" his job with 3 gig-economy part time jobs that sprung out as result of the "expanding economy".

It's not that those models are wrong, it's that it's a very different thing to read about 20 years of traumatic events from the pages of books on economics, vs. having to live through it.

Ask HN: Snapchat for documents?
FD: this is part tongue in cheek, part market research.

The other day, I had to hire someone to do some writeups for me. They generously provided me final samples on the subject under discussion. It got me thinking that I could have taken their samples, told them I hated their work, edited it a little, and passed it off as my own.

That's when the thought came to me that maybe there's a market for documents which disappear after the first viewing from the receiver's device - a Snapchat for documents.

Use cases:

1. Play memory games or tests

2. If you want to send a VC your pitch deck but you don't want them to forward it to a company in their portfolio.

3. You may want to share some medical records with a remote friend or family but not let it linger on their device.

4. Share a treasure map with a fellow adventurer to convince them that you're legit and X does mark the spot.

5. Share a screenplay with Harvey Weinstein remotely because you don't want to have sex with him (sorry, this is a topical reference in case you're not in the United States right now.)

6. Share a sneak peek of financial data to reporters do that they can write glowing reports about your business acumen

7. Prove to Glenn Greenwald that you actually have real NSA documents

What does HN think? Should I drop everything, do this full time, and go from 0 to distinctly non-Thielian 0.05?
Yeah, been there, done that.

The problem with building your own UI toolkit is that you can never make it feel native. You can get 90% there, but it always feels a bit off to the user. The more you make things look like native controls, the more users expect them to act like native controls and tiny differences get amplified.
Yev from Backblaze here -> Yes, unless the storage pod is in maintenance, it remains on so that backup and B2 data can be uploaded and accessed.
> relying on the tooling instead of critical thinking

If the tool is "type checking" a computerised logic/type-checking will be far more efficient that mentally checking such a thing. Computer type-check logic is a superior form of a subset of "critical thinking".
One can always do apt-get update && apt-get upgrade && apt-clean (the last being a convenience command by TKLX) in their first RUN after FROM.
The most common tactic for pushing TTD is confusing "no TDD" with "no testing". So many "benefits of TDD" begin with sabotaged examples of a team that doesn't test at all, before trying TDD - classic stone-soup.

The High Price of the Nocebo Effect
People tend to ignore even quite a big costs if they are spending company's money, not their own :)

Also, this machine you link to might cost $1,850 but:

- it is used, not new, so it can break any minute, and you don't have any warranty.

- on GCP just $2,100 per month buys you similary speced machine AND peace of mind.

- running this machine 24/7 poses some significant electricity cost.

EDIT:
- $2,100 is probably lower than a salary you would pay an IT technician maintaining your machine(s).

> What makes you think that a team which doesn't follow practices or uses their excellent toolchain will use Rust properly (without unsafe at any step) or even at all?

Rust tends to push you away from using unsafe all the time. Unsafe is a pain to use, because you don't have all the nice pointer operators you do in C and C++, so programmers naturally default toward working in the safe language. Even if you use unsafe more than you should, Rust tends toward much safer code than C and C++ in the aggregate. (This has been observed empirically.)

> I guess that's because C and C++ are easy to misuse and most programmers, teams and companies aren't that good at writing correct or safe code.

If you replace "most" with "virtually every" (i.e. everyone who isn't writing avionics/defense/aerospace/etc. code), I agree.

> But we already knew that and the solution is not as easy as switching to a different programming language.

Programs written in C and C++ empirically have far more memory safety related problems than programs written in memory safe languages do.
Being a distroless, it's still a larger base image than many distro-based ones.

It sounds like you mean that people can redefine the word neutral to suit their use case? Because "net neutrality" is pretty well defined, and basically means "nobody should have the power to interfere with our communications". The government already has the power to apply law - what we're supposed to care about is what law they're applying, and whether those are good laws.

I think the reason people are "oblivious" is basically because they're also (i.e. not only) aware of the downside of the absence of regulation, and feel that those downsides outweigh those of regulation.
I wonder which customers are big enough if this is the case. I can only think of PC manifacturers (Dell et al., but they are switching to SSD's) and companies with a truly massive amount of datacenters (Google, Microsoft, Amazon). Ipods and similar electronics have switched from HDD's for a while now.
It is getting a bit more of a pain, but the bottom line is that if you earned your money legally, you take your tax records and paperwork to the bank and transfer to your hearts delight.

New N.S.A. Breach Linked to Popular Russian Antivirus Software
To some extent what you write is true of vi (there was nothing better when it was written), and vim exists for folks who are used to vi to get some features of an extensible editor (i.e., vim is an emacs for vi-users, just with a far worse extension language and fewer decades of debugging), but what you write is false when it comes to emacs.

The benefit of emacs is that it is a completely extensible environment for editing text. It turns out that just about everything we do on computers involves text: source code, sure, but also web pages, git, email, shells, configuration, UIs &c. All of that stuff is text, and emacs can handle it all, and it can be extended to handle the next thing which comes down the pike too[0]. emacs is the forever editor: decades after SublimeText and Atom are dead & gone, emacs will continue.

vi & vim will continue, too, because the textual language of vi is still more powerful than any of those GUI editors. It's more powerful than the default keybindings of emacs (although note that with things like evil-mode or viper, emacs takes on vi keybindings). Even GUI apps which try to implement vi(m) bindings generally fall down because they implement so few (in the same way that apps which try to implement emacs-style extensibility fall down because they use insufficiently powerful languages).

I don't know what editor the hip young kids of 2067 will be using, but I know that the folks getting stuff down will be using vi & emacs.

[0] vim can also be extended to handle anything, but compare:

function! ToggleSyntax()
if exists("g:syntax_on")
syntax off
else
syntax enable
endif

nmap <silent> ;s :call ToggleSyntax()<CR>

(setf syntax (not syntax)))

You seems to have read the second paper which got published on the same topic shortly after this work was presented at FDTC. However both papers are about the same kind of fault attacks. And since you mention playing around, the first paper and the blog post here also provide some python code for you to play with bit flips.

Regarding the IOT setup, I know first hand that Nest products are trying very hard to be secure even in case of physical possession. Especially on the firmware signature verification part. But they rely on some fun post-quantum scheme, not on EdDSA.

It's true that in the end it all boils down to your threat model, but I bet smartcard producers are glad someone researched this before they got on the EdDSA train.

This seems like an unfair ultimatum for her to give you. Maybe the reason why she is putting on the breaks isn't about the relocation. Its possible she doesn't share the same vision of the future as you.

I imagine you'll have to reduce pricing on Backblaze B2 eventually in order to stay competitive. What's it like having to flip such a massive switch where your revenue is X one minute and then X - 20% the next?

This has been my experience too, and I don't think I'm being nitpicky when I say that there is a large dropoff in reliability from UPS/FedEx to Amazon. I would estimate that the success rate in receiving my package on the scheduled date is about 50% with Amazon and somewhere around 99% with UPS/FedEx.

I live in a condo building which requires fob access, and while the UPS and FedEx drivers have a fob (because it's the same person every day making a large number of deliveries at once at the same time every day), the Amazon drivers do not, so must stand awkwardly outside the building until somebody maybe lets them in, but is usually denied access because letting them in is a violation of our building policies and can result in a large fine. This in turn results in many packages either being left outside the building on the ground, or not delivered at all.

I think the main problem Amazon is going to have with trying to vertically integrate into deliveries is that they alone don't constitute enough volume to keep drivers employed full-time, so they would have to open the service for outside consumption like they did AWS.
RFC 8032 already specifies an "Ed25519ph" variant which prehashes the message and therefore facilitates Initialize-Update-Finalize (IUF) APIs:

I think there is a disconnect between your values and many on HN when it comes to the right of free speech. You see "harm from bad speech" as a major problem in society so you naturally seek to correct it with the strongest tools you can muster. You're already using social pressure to create norms for "good speech" and now you want to move to actual legislative pressure to enforce your growing list of speech norms. I think your heart is in the right place but legislating speech is a very dangerous business. If you normalize the ability to control speech then you open the door for anyone else in power to make those decisions for you. So either you think the current "harm" is so great that its worth risking the entire future of free society or you think the risk of creating that "1984 dystopian world" is zero.

I personally think the risk is non-zero(Trump, Brexit, Black Swan events ect.) so you can understand why most people would disagree with that trade off, right?

So only Dell, HP, Apple and the likes have a direct line ? 10K units of the largest models feels huge to my layman self.
Nest products are using hash-based signatures?
Pretty simple to understand why, they're "guaranteeing" that bandwidth. The hosts have a finite amount of network bandwidth available, they also have a finite amount of cores.

Judging by the ratio it's likely something such as 2x 56gbe network ports on the host (=112Gbps), which has 56 vcpu (2x xeon 14c/28T)
I don't think there is such a group (or at least it is very small). What continuous deployment does do is help you find bugs faster as they get shipped sooner. It also promotes more automated testing which can help as well since manual testing is less likely to fully regress everything.
Well, I think you give people too little credit. Nobody can stand passively watching TV the entire day every day of their lives.

But even if you aren't, why would it bother you? If other people want to waste their lives on a coach in front of the TV, what makes this wrong?
That's the advantage of B2: straight storage, bring your own (encrypting) client. If Backblaze proper had a decent restore story (rather than typing your key into a web page and getting a zip), I'd recommend it wholeheartedly.
IRC file transfer is always a roll of the dice if you're going through NAT.
When signing the same message, all EdDSA implementations are supposed to reuse the same `r`, as per RFC 8032, and thus to produce the same signature under the same key. For smartphone and instant messaging, I wouldn't be worried about fault attacks, there are probably easier ways around it.
I wonder why you were downvoted. A 64 core machine would have 128 vCPUs

> which I believe already include the speed improvements from 57+?

Interestingly Firefox Focus uses WebKit (/Blink?), since that's what Android's webview provides. Firefox for Android should get the improvements around version 58 or 59.

Also good to note, for people planning to stick with an older Firefox for as long as they can: Firefox 52 is an Extended Support Release, and as such will actually be actively supported until June next year. This will give WebExtensions some extra time to mature for more use cases: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/organizations/

Unrelated, I'd like to see your argument against that particular line. IMO the comparison is an excellent one; its only issue is that the chosen scope ("the financial market") is too small. Corporations and other bureaucratic entities like governments are powerful cross-domain optimizers with utterly alien cognitive processes and goals. Intelligence, certainly, artificial, might as well call it that.

Depends on the definition you’re reading. Google says it’s “a state of limited competition, in which a market is shared by a small number of producers or sellers.”

Limited competition is the lead phrase there. By this definition, parcel delivery is not an oligopoly if it’s competitive.
