The enterprise would be a valid target, but if you really want them to trust you, you'll need to offer localized hosting (host from EU, Russian, Chinese datacenters) as well as on-premise hosting.

Actually, in that last one you should probably also offer consultancy to set up the servers securely - both software and physical hardware security. Secure software isn't worth much if the systems it runs on is compromised. Consultancy can be worth a lot of money, if your customers think it's worth it.

I'd start working on offering a paid enterprise solution soon tbf. I'd also tweak your landing page, the blurb is "a new and free security app"; the "new and free" doesn't instill much trust, and the "security app" doesn't really describe what it does. The second phrase tries to explain that "it's Slack" or "it's Dropbox", which I guess is fair, but I'd aim towards distancing yourself and describe it as e.g. "End-to-end encrypted communications and file sharing". What makes Keybase unique? I mean Dropbox has a pretty solid security page (https://www.dropbox.com/business/trust/security/architecture), as does Slack (https://slack.com/security).

Don't resort to black hat SEO in an attempt to trick the search engines
I wasn't making a value judgement about whether or not this is a good thing. I was just pointing out that many people do find this a good thing. The product is more valuable than the price of the components to a large number of people. Whether or not that should be the case is better left to a different discussion. But the objective fact is that it's true for a huge number of people, and that provides an incentive for Apple to do more of the same.

If people were buying tens of billions of dollars worth of your product every three months, what would you do? Make it worse? Not find ways to make it more profitable?

I think you're incorrect about why Apple devices are not easy to repair and upgrade. But we may have to agree to disagree or have a different conversation about that.

> I also worry that it would be too easy to game for certain people.

I wouldn't call this gaming the system. It's well-known that in order to be successful it's often not enough just to do good work. You also need to tell others about your work as well as negotiate for yourself. Negotiating isn't cheating but an essential part of human communication that can be learned if you happen to be not particularly good at it.

> We already have the case that men are more likely to ask for raises, which is a contributing factor to pay inequality.

This made me wonder if framing the question of pay inequality along gender lines is making the right distinction. Maybe, it's not necessarily women earning less than men but rather introvert or shy people? There are men who daren't ask about a pay raise either. Those probably earn less than more outgoing men, too.

So, by framing this question solely in terms of gender we might be glossing over a part of the problem because that way one of the main causes for pay inequality remains hidden behind gender labels.

> far-right but not far-left

This often comes up in these discussions. You need to realise that the far-right spawns much more violence (against individuals; against groups; against the state) than the far left.

In the UK we recently saw an MP being murdered by a far right extremist; we've seen an increase in racially motivated violence against Muslims and Jews; we've seen small but violent demonstrations by far right organisations.

This kind of stuff just isn't happening from the far left.
(a) Why do you need to identify it on the backend? Wouldn't someone who's arrested presumably have their laptop confiscated?

(b) Why does something being illegal imply that you have to be able to distinguish it from something legal in every instance? They could just only apply it when they can make a case that it was done in an illegal manner. It's not like we don't already have laws where intention makes a strong difference, despite the fact that you can't always establish intentions.
Do you mean legislation abolishing net neutrality? Because AFAIA the point of net neutrality is that only the delivery of _all_ content is neutral. (Note that it's not the content that's supposed to be neutral, whatever that would mean, but the delivery.)

Ask HN: Privacy-oriented web analytics
Hello,

Is there a Web Analytics service out there that works with aggregates only, or has a maximum amount of time they preserve log entries?

I don't need anything JavaScript tracking fancy stuff, but since basic server log entries contain date, IP, User Agent and stuff like that they could probably be used to give some nice graphs of traffic overall. Maybe the service could also figure out what portion was crawlers.

So basically something that probably exists as a program on Linux, but as a service so that I wouldn't need to figure out how to combine server logs together, where to store them, etc.

And mainly the part about at a minimum gradually turning the log entries into aggregates, so as to preserve user privacy.
So where is the actual signup for this? The homepage does not make it obvious...
Not that they're universally defined, but I think the Tories would be left-of-centre in the US context even though they're considered right-wrong in the UK.

Hey Kepler, afraid not. Could always do a Skype though!
Good pieces of code are written twice. The first one is always a draft, no matter how big it gets. The second one benefits from hindsight and experience you gained when writing the first one. Once the second piece of code reaches the same level of functionality, you simply start over the process for the new/missing features.
IIRC Google cut support for the Nexus 4 whilst maintaining support for their tablet that used exactly the same chipset. One of Google’s Android engineers even did their own cut+paste builds for the Nexus 4 from the new Android release at the time.

Dropping support at that particular point in time was purely a marketing / management decision that wasn't driven by any technical considerations whatsoever.

When you do this kind of thing as a company over and over again, people notice.
The fact that a Mozilla product sends my data, even if it is only my IP address, to a third party, is a disgrace. I don't really care what the data is.

I understand they need analytics and telemetry. They have the money, they have the power to build all of those in house. They should not be sending my data to a third party, whatever that data might be. That's all. I expected better from Mozilla. Pocket integration was a letdown, this is even worse.

Yes. That's what parliamentary sovereignty actually means. We don't have an actual constitution. In fairness, we've been at it for 90 years longer than the US has had a constitution, and so far it works.

Most of the worst excesses of US politics seem to go back to deep mistrust of government and people taking about their "rights".

Amber Rudd (current home secretary) made a speech at the conservative party conference announcing the intention to criminalise viewing material online, as well as the existing criminalisation of downloading material.

It's incoherent nonsense, but that hasn't stopped them making laws before.

> central authority systems like banks can fail, rob you or be hacked. Blockchain on the other hand is more reliable.

The body of evidence to date suggests that you're much more likely to be robbed of your cryptocurrency through fraud or incompetence than you are to lose your traditional currency from a bank.

https://magoo.github.io/Blockchain-Graveyard/

Furthermore, we've already seen examples of the "authorities" behind cryptocurrency executing a rollback to modify transactions they didn't like: https://www.coindesk.com/hard-fork-ethereum-dao/

I strongly dispute the notion that blockchain is more reliable. Maybe in some ideal universe where blockchain technology is not implemented and maintained by humans.
not right of centre, right of the left sure.
I'd say this is a bit misleading. It's centre-right.

In the UK, centre-left or centre-right tends to be in terms of economic policy anyway. Nearly all UK parties have mostly centre-left social policies.
The UK has a very effective check and balance in the Crown Prosecution Service, who can simply decide it's not in the public interest to prosecute a crime. Compare and contrast to elected and political prosecutors in the US trying to make a career.

* The executives selling stock before telling the public about the breach[1] — but "Equifax responded to TechCrunch’s questions about the timing of the transactions, particularly those of CFO John Gamble, with the following statement claiming that the executives in question were not aware of the hack which the company was made aware of on July 29"

* entering in phony name into the "Have I been breached?" site resulted in random answers; "Others have tweeted they received different answers after entering the same information."[2]

* Equifax hosted said "Have I been breached?" site, and services related to protecting oneself from the breach, on a domain that looked for all the world like a phishing site, and further, "What’s more, there is nothing tying the domain registration records for trustedidpremier.com to Equifax: The domain is registered to a WHOIS privacy service, which masks information about who really owns the domain (again, not exactly something you might expect from an identity monitoring site)." [4]

* Equifax wanted people to agree to a forced arbitration clause. [3]

* Equifax directed people to a fake phishing site [5]

For those wondering what this is, I grabbed this from the zip file:

= Cowboy

Cowboy is a small, fast and modern HTTP server for Erlang/OTP.

== Goals

Cowboy aims to provide a complete HTTP stack in a small code base.
It is optimized for low latency and low memory usage, in part
because it uses binary strings.

Cowboy provides routing capabilities, selectively dispatching requests
to handlers written in Erlang.

Because it uses Ranch for managing connections, Cowboy can easily be
embedded in any other application.

Cowboy is clean and well tested Erlang code.

Where is the actual text of the law? Link or it didn't happen.
This looks useful, but I couldn’t find any source. It seems like a centralized, closed service but yet it advertises itself as a platform for openness. How is that? For instance, does colony.io use colony.io to develop colony.io? And, if not, why not?

> you surrender control over your build's success to the whims of the same people who think that it's okay that memcpy(0, 0, 0) is undefined behavior.

You mean the people who write the specs of the language?
Well you surrender control to these folks when you decided to pick this language!

Otherwise the problem about memcpy of zero-size and nullptr is unfortunate from compiler engineers (at least clang engineers) point of view. The story is that the compiler is optimizing based on programmer annotations: after all if a programmer takes the effort to annotate their APIs, let's benefit from this.
However the GNU libc annotated `memcpy` (and others) with this non_null attribute, causing this fragility on invalid (according to the spec) but common code.

Opinion of clang authors is somehow "Deleting a null pointer check on p after a memcpy(p, q, 0) call seems extremely user-hostile, and very unlikely to result in a valuable improvement to the program".

Clang dev thread: http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/cfe-dev/2017-January/052066....

Note in this thread that clang devs are trying to get the language changed to remove this UB.
Its a misnomer to think that anything can be managed at a abstract level. Managing things requires understanding and working on them at a very intricate level. MBA thing is based on the exact opposite.

> Excluding the category of civil wars

Well, that's a pretty big one, wouldn't you say? Some of the biggest, hairiest and most bloody conflicts have been civil.

The Syrian government and the rebels speaks the same language, and so do most of IS. The Hutus and Tutsis in Rwanda speaks the same languages. North and South Korea speaks the same language. Croatia/Serbia/Bosnia speak (almost) the same language. The jews in Nazi Germany spoke german.

If you're trying to get to a theory that conflicts are primarily or even significantly fueled by an inability to communicate, you can't just hand-wave civil wars away.

In-group/out-group conflicts is a powerful force and it cuts a lot deeper than language.
You deeply misunderstand how the parliamentary system works.

The first thing I did upon becoming prime minister was to install air conditioners in buildings where the civil service worked. This was key to public efficiency."

I noticed your comment yesterday and meant to reply, and then forgot about it.

So, you're right there is no "built in" support for Overrides on a per-project basis in Vagrant. There is some built in support - it will source local Vagrantfile files and wrap them around the project specific one (so e.g. my $VAGRANT_HOME/Vagrantfile is setup to tweak the defaults for the Vagrant-Hostmanager and Vagrant-Parallels plugins, and this then applies to all Vagrant machines that don't otherwise change those settings).

Probably what you really want though is the ability to override per-project, per-dev.

This is where it helps (a lot) if you know ruby, or if you're willing to learn a little (which was my case for this problem).

I've put the basics of this concept into a gist here: https://gist.github.com/stephenreay/2afd4205e76836f20e176722...

Gun control is the elephant in the room.
People often say 'downloading' and 'viewing online' are the same because technologically there isn't much to differentiate the two. We could start saying 'he saved the files on his computer' vs 'watched it online'. That way the difference in intent is more clear. Saving the files on your harddisk so you can look at them later and building up a collection of ISIS videos should be considered different from looking at the same videos online.
Nope, it's not because of the middle class or anything related. Simply because the food is terrible and has gotten worse and worse in recent years. People are realising there are better alternatives out there, not just ones that reply on brand recognition with little else going for them.

Add the fact it's easier to find out how good or bad a restaurant is via reviews, and you've got a situation where terrible chain restaurants are going the way of the dodo as people chose alternatives with decent food.
