Even if the government entity is taxpayer funded and centrally planned, this is a competition structured like a market. They set out a bid (the winning amount for the goal) and people can compete however they see fit and spend what they want.

Similarly, the Army doing RFPs to buy a bunch of toilets is still a free market to compete in as a toilet supplier.

This is an old problem. What is new is how fast things spread.

Delaying when the upvotes/retweet/view counts become visible, will reduce the speed with which info spreads, and there will be less chaos.

Speed is highly overrated and it's value falsely tied to "engagement". Easy to run this experiment on HN - only show users their karma a week after their post gets published post quality will increase and engagement will drop. Which is an ideal outcome in a world where fiction trumps fact by a huge and exponentially increasing margin.
The desktop version never required a running smartphone (one might even be able to complete signup using the app in an emulator and a dumbphone or a VoIP provider to receive the SMS, not sure)
You just made a perfect argument for why the Google design is inadequate. It centralizes way too much power to make them the target of lawyer and it makes them the arbiter of acceptability as well.
It's nice that you have some friends that you can discuss opposing views with. I also cherish some of my liberal friends who I can have a genuine discussion with.

I've also had some bad experiences with family members who support Trump and are super emotional, vocal, and resistant to any discussion about him either on the policy- or simple behavior-level.

IMO there is a hidden wedge in politics between people who are willing to engage with their opinions and others who will take your beliefs in the worst possible context. It's not necessarily a right-left thing, or even a centrist/extremist thing either. I've had some of the most enlightening discussions about politics with people that are super extreme in their progressivism, communism, or conservatism, because they are so knowledgable about political philosophy or the data supporting their beliefs.
That'd be fine with me if it was enforced equally. I haven't worked anywhere that attempted to do that, so not sure if it'd work or not. But, I'm skeptical.

I think what may happen is that it'd go underground. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not. It may be a kind of secret reason to cause strife between employees.

It would have to be supported as a broader part of the company culture. No discussing things that aren't relevant to work.

>(CPI) does decrease

Does CPI decrease artificially based on subsidies to the indexed goods? For example with milk or any food with corn syrup, where the actual cost of production isn't reflected in the market price.
The idea that you should have an interest in what you do for money is a new one and I think fairly unhealthy. It's part of the reason why we have so many young people with degrees in underwater basketweaving who can't find work in their majors.

We're in the midst of an insane sociological revolution regarding "ability." 100 years ago it didn't matter if you had a 140 IQ because you were just out plowing the field the same as your neighbor. For the first time in the history of mankind general cognitive ability is the biggest factor in your ability to acquire resources. Unfortunately that's largely biological in nature. You can reduce IQ pretty easily with poor nutrition, abuse, etc. But it's really hard to raise IQ meaningfully. Life is already difficult for well meaning, hard working people with low cognitive ability, and I think it's only going to get worse. In the meantime, high cognitive ability people will be doing well, whether they're coding or doing other brainy work.

Your "instant bank transfers" claim is irrelevant. Traditional banking lacks the openness, borderless access, censorship resistance aspects of decentralized cryptocurrencies like bitcoin.

With traditional banking you are in a master-slave relationship, where your bank is the master and can wipe your money clean at a whim. Bitcoin means you are your own bank.

It's pointless to compare "instant bank transfers" with bitcoin, bitcoin makes traditional banking obsolete.
In-browser e2e encryption is vulnerable to targeted attacks on specific individuals.

The service (either intentionally or by virtue of being hacked) can serve up Javascript crypto code that either uploads plaintext, or subtly backdoors the crypto so it can be decrypted. And they can do this to just a single user, so unless you audit the Javascript every single time you load the page, you'd never know.

A signed app is more secure, because a backdoor would have to be distributed to everyone, greatly increasing the chances of it being discovered.
The entire idea of HR centrally controlling or even measuring performance of jobs other than things like easily measurable manual labor is fundamentally flawed.

You're two analogies are fracking and a circular saw to a bomb. Is there really any justification for the comparison?
Sure, but it doesn't pull HTML or Javascript from servers, it is all packaged along with the native Electron runtime. Exploiting a Javascript vulnerability is an absurd waste of time when you could just add a backdoor or whatever to the native code.
Blocking js was one of the best decisions I have made. The web is so much more usable and pleasant without it.

$650 is over my personal budget (the price quoted in the article). For the businesses which are mandated to use smart cards, $650 is a competitive price. Your point, however is important: Mass adoption of security technologies is a important, and the cost of this new YubiHSM 2 is prohibitive for any entity who isn't already required to buy HSMs.

I do have several YubiKeys for testing smart-card functionality in a MS AD environment. At least those are affordable

I run an XMPP server for my friends. We use Conversations [0,1] on Android and BBOS, and Zom [2] on iOS. We use OMEMO [3] for encrypting most of our conversations, and while it isn't perfect, it usually stays out of the way.

Generally, the experience with the mobile clients has been quite good. Conversations and Zom are stable, attractive, and featureful. The biggest issues are some interoperability problems with desktop clients (displaying messages that should be hidden) and some things which I believe are server-side configuration issues.

Zom hides a some useful configuration features (in the name of being dead-simple to use), so I'm trying to convince one of my iPhone-owning friends to try ChatSecure [4].

Unless you’re retiring in the next five years or something like that.
Without some risk, however. You may never succeed in breaking the binds that keep us in the dark.

I think the canonical example is something like the Wright Brothers first flight in Kitty Hawk, NC. Of course living in more agrarian times helps when you have an impromptu airport runway in your backyard. But the "permissionless innovation" theory probably concludes the reason we are not driving around in flying cars just yet is precisely due to government hamstringing the great inventor.

Particularly with strong AI the proposal comes up often: why not create a sandbox? Let the risk takers run their experiments and insulate the general public from their consequences. Allocate a few abandoned oil rigs off the coast of Venezuela and let anyone with a rocket design attempt a launch ;)
> If an attacker has access to your server, why should I believe that they wouldn't be able to update your github repository?

I don't have my GitHub password/keys on the server. Why would I have them there?

> I have to trust you _regardless_ of any of your technology, and that's the problem.

Yes, but it's trust-on-first-use. There's a big difference between

1. Trusting me today when I say that the GitHub keys are not on my server,

2. Trusting me today when I say that I'm not sending your password to the server, and being able to verify that by checking the code on GitHub

and

1. Trusting me every time you open the web app

2. Trusting me and my hosting company that I won't ever get hacked
I’m 42 and have recruiters beating down my door.
It was the original AT90S8515 that really grabbed my interest and launched me into embedded programming (when I was about 15 years old). Prior to that I was using the Basic Stamp, with it's incredibly limited and slow instruction set (yet a ridiculously high price). Then I switched to seemingly impressive BasicX with a far more powerful instruction set, though still Basic. That's when I realized the BasicX was really just an AT90S8515 with an interpreter so I learned C and programmed it directly at just a few dollars per chip -- it changed everything for me! Not only did I have the most powerful MCU I had ever used, but it was also cheap enough to leave in projects.

Generally yes, given the reasons others have said. Other than that, at the very least, outages can be dealt with more proactively when you have your own setup. Third parties won't have the same priorities that your company does.

Even without GPDR single opt-in is already insufficient in e.g. Germany. If you send a newsletter to some lawyer and can't prove consent you might just get a C&D with statutory damages back.
You can get the VPS range as cloud servers for the exact same price. Then you get all the cloud features including private network.

I guess they are keeping the old VPS range as it seems many people find cloud hosting too advance.
Such as? If you've got less than 1000 users then you need an extremely basic server, a raspberry pi should more than suffice. Then you've just got a little bit of manual (or automated) administration, software updates and backups mostly.

I really didn't expect my post to be so controversial, is the HN crowd really so terrified about running there own hardware?
On Arch Linux, it's been enabled by default for several years, and I've been using it daily for that time.

On x86_64, it's plenty stable, but I see why it's still experimental: On i686 there's a bug where files are mysteriously missing from directory listings. I tried to debug it once; it's reading them from the protocol correctly, but they're being dropped in the VFS layer, which is a bit more complicated than the network protocol.
I think in general you're right, but with a some exceptions. Like say it depends on what part of economy we are talking about. If inflation, GDP numbers and so on, then those move slower. But stock market can react pretty quickly it seems. For example it can react to getting a hint of a possibly changing regulatory environments. A crashing or rapidly rising stock market will affect the economy quite a bit, especially if it is sustained long enough.

War can change things, disasters, foreign economic threats (say a trade war with a major superpower). Those can have rapid effects as well.

Night and day. Just compare Koa's abstraction to Express'.

In Koa, you're inside one big top-level async function so all of your business code is as well. Any errors you have are async and bubble up.

Async/await is something that made Javascript concurrency not just bearable but better than the day-to-day code of other languages I use.
The concern here is revenge-spam: someone takes your email and submits it to every mailchimp default form they can find automatically, and then your inbox is flooded with ostensibly legitimate email that you have to manually unsubscribe from, for each individual list.
Genuine question: Why do you care about a few hundred MB of disk space for an app?

I could understand if it was a GB or so, but in this day and age it's USD 9c or less worth of disk space (assuming you use high end SSDs, if it's a HDD then it's under 1c).

I take issue with this. The function is an infinite series of cosine functions which can be shown to be convergent everywhere. It's also easy to write a series for the derivative of it, but that is probably divergent and hence not well defined anywhere. It's a nice trick. But if one truncates the series at any finite number of terms, the problem goes away and it is differentiable everywhere.

I see parallels to the countability of the reals, and a similar issue with vague notions of infinity.
I remember stopping there on school trips to Ottawa. Must have been a teachers nightmare to stop a school bus full of 14 year olds at a chocolate factory.
Clicking unsubscribe isn't the only way to know if the email is good. If your email client loads images then it will be known if you opened the email which will also give your IP, geolocation, device type, client name, user agent, etc.

Depending on your email provider if you mark it as spam that could also be known by the sender if your provider supports the complaint feedback loop.

Here are the docs to see what info is available when sending through mailgun.

Should, but isn't. I have idiots who think they have my email address sign me up for shit constantly. Don't put the onus on me to unsubscribe from some scammy crap. I've never forgotten to opt in to something I actually wanted, so the "minimal number of cases" actually applies to double-opt-in being hard. The frequent use case is stupid or malicious people spamming me with a list owned by an irresponsible owner. Which is now turning into "every MailChimp list owner except those who actively opt out of this crappy system." Ironic.
The war on the constitution is a better moniker.
And for ACH, it's even worse: you assume success only in the absence of failure. It's shockingly bad.

I think the unhealthy idea is that you should work in a field that you have no interest in, just because it pays more than underwater basketweaving, even if that'd still be enough to make a living and you'd enjoy it much more.

After a certain fairly low threshold, having more money doesn't automatically make you more happy (i.e. you're already fed and clothed and have a place to sleep). Once you have crossed that threshold, you'll have to weigh work satisfaction against pay, and it may turn out in favor of the low-paying job you enjoy more.
That feels very "20 years ago" to me. They've got plenty of other ways. Don't get me wrong, I'm a bit careful with them but because I'm used to being signed up to lists by a handful of stupid people who don't know their email address, I can basically anticipate what regions of the world my spamlists will come from, and I generally have a good feel for what's legit or what's not. I use the unsubscribe link often for these things.
Since Slack's main business is chat, they have a pretty good incentive to get everything working again ASAP. Here's their SLA for "plus plan" and Enterprise plan:

Our Plus plan Service Level Agreement (SLA) guarantees a 99.99% monthly uptime1
We’ve designed our SLA to be simple and transparent — based directly on the information we make publicly available on
Slack’s System Status page.
If we fall short of our 99.99% uptime guarantee, we’ll refund customers on the Plus plan 100 times the amount your
workspace paid during the period Slack was down.

This is a great concept. One thing the United States is really bad at (compared to some European countries) is emphasizing rehabilitation as a criminal justice objective. Instead, we prefer to permanently stigmatize convicted individuals, in some jurisdictions even disenfranchising them from political participation.

I am a little ashamed to admit I got a slight chuckle out of imagining the taller man in a tuxedo in a cell. I'm pretty sure the website meant to describe them as "formerly" rather than "formally" incarcerated.
Those core, must have features right?

"Oh no I can't use that business chat tool, it doesn't support smiley faces and cat reaction gifs".
Yes.
Just searching "mailchimp" alone in my gmail inbox, I see stuff from a couple of local wineries of which I'm a member, another winery which I used to buy a gift subscription for my mom, a distillery, a couple of local running groups I sometimes participate in, ... the list goes on.
By observing the behavior of Google’s spam filters (what lands in the spam folder and what doesn’t) you can clearly see that Google is not doing an effective job at applying generally to all users what it learns is deemed spam by some other users. Otherwise it wouldn’t flag its own Google News Alerts emails for example and many other legitimate emails as spam. So your efforts might not be having as great an effect as you think. But it should affect your own mailboxes at least, and maybe that’s enough.
If you follow a simple rebalancing strategy, you'll automatically sell stocks when they are more expensive and buy them when they are cheaper.

> The fact of the matter is that the idea of a carbon/pollution/externality-offsetting tax arises naturally from the non-aggression principle, as I described.

Which begs the question on how one collects taxes without aggression?

> And regardless, no, mercury has non-localized and criminal effects (poisoning is a form of assault).

So you criminalize the "assault" then you don't need gov't watchdogs tracking all uses of mercury to ensure it doesn't end up on some poor sap's lawn because once you give them the power to outlaw one thing you give them the power to outlaw whatever they want.
