And companies are built to optimise other stuff.
First things first: I'm talking about the date picker

The time picker has it's own problems, like the Oh, So Useful! seconds part. And that most people use drop-downs for this, but they say entering a time by hand is better (when it's not).

A lot of my client work at the moment is within the entertainment industry where obviously we need to pick times all the time. Both startups I work with use hour dropdown, [00, 15, 30, 45] minute drop down. One uses 24 h, one uses an AM/PM dropdown. You don't want people typing 12:07:03.

That time picker is not fit for purpose and I wouldn't be able to use it.

(Also, you don't seem to acknowledge this is a form control and you shouldn't need to use javascript to muck around with it before submitting it).

The browser ought do that automatically, that it does not is the issue at hand. I was just pointing out that the Intl API does not seem to preclude implementing this behaviour, it still needs to be implemented. Which first means that it should be reported to Firefox's bug tracker (I have not seen a single link to FF's bugzilla in any of the subthreads).

To most businesses, the core objective is creating a profitable business, and most other objectives, including engineering, marketing, support, and yes, in many companies even things like customer and employee satisfaction, are secondary to that, and only really prioritized to the extent that improving those areas also improves the bottom line (I would in fact argue that this is true of almost all companies, and that the difference in whether they prioritize customer and employee satisfaction or not, is mostly a matter of whether they look at the impact on the bottom line in a short-sighted manner, or in a more long-term way).

So in regards to your question, it would seem that the market reality is that a lot of the time, it is better for a company to have a quickly-cobbled-together piece of software that mostly does what the customers want (and maybe get to the market first) even if it is low-quality, than it is to have a piece of high-quality software that does less, or is finished later, but is maintainable, and potentially scalable in the future (which you'll never get to enjoy because the worse-is-better people already conquered the market).

You can if you sleep on the return flight (or sleep on the first flight and have time in your schedule to shower/change after you land).

The advantage is not with when you sleep, it's with where. With 6 hour flights you can sleep in your bed at home. You can't do that with the 10 hour flights unless you break your sleep schedule.

In Google Cloud, something like this is mostly unnecessary. The project model scopes resources to a particular project within an organisation, rather than all resources being global to the account. This gives a really good first cut at isolating different environments and projects.

According to [2]: "All members of CEN[3] (all of Western Europe and Scandinavia, and most of Eastern Europe) are required to adopt the EN 28601 European Standard. Most have now done so"

It's not obvious what this really means though.

I want to see "let's build a blockchain" minus the cryptocurrency. My understanding was that Medical and Financial institutions were more interested in the ledger not so much the currencies behind bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Or am I looking at this all wrong?
Again, I sort of disagree on similar grounds.

The clear distinction between private and public is (in my estimation) more of an idealisation of free market economic systems than reality.

In practice, money, power and influence at sufficient scale are the governing system. The idealisation is built on (a) very abstract idealised example (like Adam Smiths charming world of bakers and miller's) and (b) real world examples where free market dynamics work well, the way they are supposed to. For example, much of the SV-2.0 world before the money and politics got to the scale it's at now. But even here, connections always featured prominently at certain choke points like fundraising.

The world of finance in particular is (I feel like I need to keep emphasizing imo, I do not have absolute proofs and I'm speaking in very general terms) more a part of the "public" governing system than the "private" realm of free individuals. Like I said though, I think these terms are not as clear as many HNers do.

The first step of an attack is reconnaissance.

How is making that step very easy for an attacker best practice?
The primary motivation of UBI is not to increase production, but to change its structure so that people who are poorer are better of. After all, according to the theory, the production should already be at the peak.

My point is though, if you naively ignore V in the equation (and yes, usually it's considered to be a constant), then you might think that increasing price of labor can lead to decrease of production, because the term PY must be constant. But it's not constant if you increase V correspondingly, and so the decrease in production won't happen in UBI, even with inflation.

In practice, the production is often not at a peak, and there are savings too (not everything gets invested or consumed). Redistribution in UBI has then potential to reduce savings (because savings really make rational sense only if you're powerful enough) and through that increase the economic production in the slump.
Amazon's operating expenses are significantly larger than Google/FB.

THis means they've never earned a significant amount of cash net of operating expenses

They've also dumped a ton of money into capex, even still I don't think Amazon has ever gotten close to the retained earnings of any of the other four companies.

Software development is, apart from a few rare outposts like GOV.UK, conducted in the private sector for a profit.

That means that the number one consideration for the software is profitability. For internal-only software, this means that cost is the prime consideration.

In support of that, often software startups are trying to capture a winner-takes-all market, so time-to-market is critical.

Thirdly, consumer protection law is weak in the US, and product liability is almost nonexistant for software everywhere. The cost of failure is very low even if you leak all your customers' data or your product ceases to work after 18 months because you've "pivoted".

Fourthly, a lot of software is ""free"" or ad-funded. This further weakens the cost of failure.

There are techniques for delivering extremely high quality software. Few sectors of the industry care about them because it's not required and is unprofitable, but the aerospace people can usually get it right and the security people can usually get it right (when dealing with security products, not general purpose junk like Flash).

The automotive industry is kind of on a boundary. The Toyota "unintended acceleration" bug revealed some tremendously poor quality software. This is one of the main worries about self-driving cars: how minimal is the quality assurance going to be?

China has had a non-performing loan problem almost as long as it's had a (pretense of a) market economy. Confused Westerners look at those numbers and interpret them as they would in a Western economy, apparently forgetting that in China, even being a billionaire won't protect you from being disappeared at the rulers' convenience. Getting bailed in, i.e. having your claims on some bank or SOE "legally" declared null and void (remember, there is no independent judiciary in China), is far from the worst thing that could happen to a Chinese lender.

Can such a system "collapse"? Unlike Venezuela, China is not ruled by a former bus driver; it's a technocracy run by reasonably intelligent people playing a long game. It's oppressive and inefficient, but it has the ability to forcibly redistribute even severe pain. Collapse, in the usual sense of abrupt change, would require something like a new political revolution. Hence the steady ratcheting up of central control. They are definitely not going to repeat Gorbachev's "mistake".

What you do? If you are really worried about this, you don't lend to or invest in entities which are significantly exposed to China. If you are really worried about it, you look for ways to short them (oh look, a Tesla factory in Shanghai?).
Thanks. Sorry on mobile in an airport.

I actually like how it currently works because it doesn’t matter if Chrome 32 didn’t support feature X because no one is using it. The boxes are sized by their current usage and aligned based on the stable version.

It’s a perfect chart to show your boss when someone complains about Firefox 4 not working. Clearly that person missed a few updates :)

That being said, I would like a year on each column for the occurrences when time/year is relevant. Currently I just Show All.
Any organization that has a "normal" modern development process (Code reviews, Reasonable test suite, continuous builds, static analysis etc) has a decent focus on quality. That doesn't mean quality has the focus it needs within the organization but at least its then not secondary or a focus for late in the process.
> As it's described in the article, I see many parallels with today's anonymised internet culture - we can be someone else, someone who doesn't have to fear any consequences for what he says, we can lie on the internet to (try to) form other's perception of ourselves, thus being whoever we want to be.

This is, maybe counterintuitively, not true. If anything, Coinbase is more secure than before by publishing this.

For a great and well-reasoned argument see the Gov.UK guidelines, which state that all of their new code has to be open source. (yes, that's the UK government, not some startup) They even specifically mention security-enforcing code![0]

> Code that contributes to your service’s security does not need to be kept closed. Many security-enforcing functions, such as cryptographic algorithms, are provably better when openly examined and understood while the keys are kept private.

They also have another guide and a blog post specifically about security considerations with open source code.[1][2]

> Doesn’t it give attackers an advantage?

> Although there’s a common concern that coding in the open could give an advantage to an attacker, we believe that only a negligible advantage exists. [...] In fact there is no evidence to suggest that being open source makes software more susceptible to exploitation.

I would highly recommend reading through those if you really think Coinbase is now under a higher risk of attack due to this article. They aren't.

Great article and nice tool. Switching role and profile with multiple organizations is indeed cumbersome with AWS.

We are also developing an open source CLI for AWS named awless (cf. https://github.com/wallix/awless). We currently support easy MFA, profile switch and role assuming in CLI with the '-p' flag and are working on extending these features to support multiple organizations. We had multiple issues filed on GitHub which are closely related to this.
How to get good customer support
It shouldn't according to its own instructions.

I bet jump() has something like `if (robot.touchingFloor) { action = 'jump'; }` which makes your code work because it doesn't overwrite the robot action if it can't actually jump.

Switch the order of actions and you'll see the robot never jumps because its action gets overwritten (as stated in the instructions tab).

Not to even mention how totally fucking useless Facebook ads are. You'll only be seeing fake likes and followers from developing countries that only serve to dilute your reach and make you pay even more.

Good security means defence in depth. You secure everything including your backend implementation details.
> Who is responsible for covering damages caused by this satellite?

Space Law is a developing and mostly uncodified field of International Law, but it is generally considered very uncontroversial that the nation(s)/cosporation(s) responsible for causing the satellite to go out of control should foot the bill for any cleanup/damages. It could be the entity that made a faulty satellite or the entity that failed to launch it to the proper orbit or even an entity that created the debris that caused another satellite to lose orbit.
In Peopleware, Tom DeMarco thinks it's because a business's customers will tolerate lower quality software, so there are diminishing marginal returns to revenue as investment in software quality continues. He predicts that while this management style works wonderfully for the bottom line in the short run, it causes long-term ailments such as team dissatisfaction, overly complex architectures, and other issues that may be more expensive overall.

Quality and security become increasingly important as we depend even more on software systems for essential functions such as cars, power grid management, agriculture, etc. Unfortunately, this situation is all too similar to how many opt for the emergency room over preventative care.

We should also consider that many businesses wouldn't exist if not for lax quality requirements for software products. How many product V1s are chock full of bugs and exploits, and to what extent is that okay? What about open source? As usual, it's pretty complicated.
If software is created within a profit oriented organisation, then there is a rush to get stuff out the door. Quality is seen as an expensive intangible. Managers are focused on time to market - the shorter the better and costs - the lower the better.

When software is created without a profit motive, then it is to coolness of the idea that motivates the creators. Focusing on quality would only slow down the "creative" process.
Wouldn't it be a good idea to remove pack support from gzip if it obviously doesn't get enough eyeballs to detect bugs in a timely manner? Poorly tested obscure format support is a goldmine for hackers looking for exploitable code.

I've tried using a phone as a server in a similar fashion in the past, and found it to be too unstable and unreliable. With a Pi (at least, any Pi made since the Model B+ revision) stability and robustness is not an issue, however I've tried repurposing several Android devices from various manufacturers and they always end up rebooting themselves at inopportune times, or locking up, or the server app I'm using constantly crashes. By contrast, I've had the same RPi 3 running nonstop for nearly a year as a camera server.

I think it's more to do with the Android OS itself rather than the hardware, but I could be wrong. It's possible the SoC was overheating on those phones from the extended duty cycles; they simply aren't designed for much more than sporadic use.

This right here is one of software's biggest problem.

Businesses have the hubris of designing their own custom UIs for everything, deeply tainted with their branding, and they all end up reinventing the wheel because standard solutions aren't compatible with their designs.

It's time to dissociate software from branding, so we can free 90% of developers and have them do something useful for once.
I think [1] only covers how ISO is used in norway. I think if you look at what's actually common you'll find that norwegians use the non-ISO dd.MM.yy most of the time, but when they use ISO they use ISO as in [1] above.

That's the difference to sweden, we'd actually us an ISO 8601 type format as our everyday format.

The quintessential counter example is Putin's Russia in the early 2000's. The oligarchs wouldn't play ball with the state, so Putin put the richest one in a cage on television. The other oligarchs immediately caved to work with the state on severely disadvantaged terms.

In a power struggle between money and the state, the state always wins. It has the authority to instantly justify its seizure of the money, whereas the money will have to work in pretty visibly ugly ways to justify why it should seize the authority.

This is why you see billionaires that become political officials more often than revolutionaries.
In my experience managements set the budget and timeline before anybody has adequately evaluated the work that needs to be done. Typically there isn't enough time nor money to support quality engineering practices.

This is apparently part of the reason for german car companies to not get on board EVs early, since speed on autobahns is a big part of what they consider a great car to be about.

For me however, it seems somewhat ridiculous. I've always been baffled by people buying cars with tops speeds that are both illegal (in my jurisdiciton at least) and dangerous (probably true everywhere) and emphasising that figure as a sales point.

I believe for any kind of driving I, or the average motorist, will do, the EV will be better (sportier, more responsive, whatever adjectives car journalists use to describe high-end cars) EVs will deliver that better.
oh yeah, that makes sense. It's a tiny fraction of the moon-sun distance, but it would have some efrect. Is it a "tidal" force, though?

If I see how many companies don't create a homepage but rely on Facebook entirely. Or have a very stale homepage while they keep posting news on Facebook and Instagram.
