The reason anyone can make this kind of wage work is through consumer credit. Eliminate consumer credit, and wages will go up/prices will go down, I would bet my life on it.
Avoiding taxes isn't illegal though. So in a global economy I'm not sure your argument is technically justified and simply the righteous argument most people would accept as true.

If my US company shifts labor to India, do we assume it is bad simply because the US doesn't receive those wages to stimulate the US economy? Does this benefit India though?

I think your argument depends on perspective, from US point of view this situation is bad, from India's it isn't bad. From the wealthy person's doing this, it simply benefits him/her.

I don't know how to solve this and completely agree with the argument but it is technically flawed.
> I think you’d be surprised how much some major tech companies (Google etc.) are and have been relying on microservices and that style of architecture for many years now. [...] I think the biggest conflict here is scale of the services involved.

I wouldn't be surprised that Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Facebook, Apple, etc. use microservices heavily.

But I think it's more, the scale of the companies, rather than the scale of the services. When you've got a lot of developers—thousands or tens of thousands, on hundreds of teams—having independent microservices is surely the way to go.

But, when you're a small company, with ~10 developers? It's not.
When I first read Gruber he spent quite a bit of his time attacking Apple for abandoning lots of the good stuff from OS9 in favor of the promise offered by the (relatively) clean but at-the-time untested underpinnings of OSX.
Slightly offtopic but I went to your homepage to check it out. Immediately loved how it looked, but found it hard to find out what products are actually on offer until I went to the separate product pages. In the first two screens of the homepage, the general gist of your products doesn't become clear to me, only your specific Facebook/AMP product. After the first screen ("Do incredible things with your data") I expected the second screen to tell me what those were, and so I would've thought you offered only AMP/facebook stuff, hadn't I noticed later on that it was a "product update".

Just my 2 cts.
> I think you’d be surprised how much some major tech companies (Google etc.) are and have been relying on microservices and that style of architecture for many years now.

I think you'd be surprised how much the problems of those "some major tech
companies (Google etc.)" don't match the problems of up to medium companies,
which make the vast majority of technology use in total.
This is very shortsighted-claiming that all of these trends have to do with being richer, is simply absurd. Also, "regular" person? What age? Male? Female? What does that even mean? This is just utter nonsense. But I will humor you:

> Is it easier or harder to afford basic foodstuffs?

Processed foods are far easier to afford, but they are extremely unhealthy. As for other basics, many have gone up over the last 50 years.

> Do they eat out (luxury) more or less?

Women now work. 50 years ago they did not. Less time/people to cook at home. Not like everyone is eating at steakhouses. They just don't have the time so they go to Chipotle or McDonalds or Panera.

> If they own a home, is it larger or the same size?

Most people own legacy homes-they are the same size because they are the same homes. New builds are building bigger houses but what "regular" person builds new homes?

> Who has better healthcare?

This has more to do with advancements in medicine and technology than people becoming richer.

> Who spends more on entertainment? How much do they spend on the family pet? Who spent more time furthering their education?

Furthering education is largely on credit, so this is a bad measure.

> and the modern "regular" person would be wealthier in every one of these categories.

Nope.

I'm very confused about how bad this is, the article seems unclear. Does it allow malicious apps steal the OTA codes? Does it allow malicious apps to steal the keys used to generate the OTA codes? Does it allow a user to see the keys? Is it none of the above?

All I get from the article is that the user might be able to see the OTA codes in a roundabout way. If that's the entire problem, why is it a problem?

> The real question is if cargo operations will continue to drive 747 demand.

The reality is that we're going to have loads of 747-400s that aren't life-expired available, and I imagine many operators will just turn to freighter conversions of them rather than order new 747-8s.
Well for me the title. The premise of the article appears to be "author unconvinced bitcoin is stable store of value". The title appears to be nothing but click bait.
TL;DR; should be something like:

Again, logical fallacies only make sense in the context of a specific topic. People can actually be motivated by racism - regardless of whether Israel's actions are human rights violations.

In some cases, the leaders of BDS made anti-Semitic comments before joining/founding BDS. When a bunch of white supremacists join together to create an organization that accuses Afican countries of human rights violations, we acknowledge that that it's about a bit more than human rights.

For example, Omar Barghouti,the BDS founder believes that Jews don't have a right to self-determination, opposes the two-state solution (instead, he supports a single Palestinian state), and has no plan or suggestion for where Israelis should relocate. The UN recognizes that all people have a right to self determination.

My own experience is with the Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) who threw rocks at the heads of Israeli students on my college campus and then published anti-Semitic fliers "to measure student viewpoints." SJP and BDS are closely associated.
It's more, I suppose, the idea that multiple sources of information should be supported ("pluralism"). There is no such thing as an unbiased news source, so it is best in the long run for multiple sources of news to exist, each with their own viewpoint. It is easier to obtain a more informed opinion if one makes the effort to escape single-viewpoint media. Furthermore, by highlighting "freedom of information", there is at least a signal of intent to try and keep a degree of openness in the process, in that review of what they would call "fake news" does not infringe on that right as much as possible.

Whether you think the EU will actually accomplish what they say, that's another story. My guess is, it is very likely that the process will be more transparent and allow more leeway, versus what is going on in Vietnam -- a single political party controlling opinion through opaque military concerns. All nations / parties / political philosophies produce propaganda and advocacy pieces, that is not news. Vietnam, however, has never been known for generous press freedom. In fact, it recently has been cracking down heavily on all opinion points that do not reflect the ruling party (https://www.economist.com/news/asia/21731192-american-indiff...).

I don't see an equivalent in the EU right now, to be honest. Once Western governments start arresting bloggers and journalists for having an opinion differing from the government like Vietnam is doing, let me know.

I could do without that switch - I use Tasker to toggle silent mode based on location rules, and I prefer to e.g. use a timer to turn on no-disturb for a movie, rather than needing to remember to re-enable sounds.

The probability that I'm e.g. at a meeting and don't want to be disturbed is far less likely than simply keeping the phone on silent for the whole work day. It just doesn't fit a use case for me.

This economy has gone nowhere but up. Those who are not going up with it are likely being held down by other systemic issues, not because the game is "rigged".

"To be successful, money must be both a medium of exchange and a reasonably stable store of value." - BitCoin isn't 'money' though.

As for the Charlie Stross link and the claim that BitCoin is 'designed to damage central bankers' - that depends. It certainly is likely to have the effect of making central bankers more honest. Up until recently there were real consequences to printing free-money but after the 2007 financial crisis it seems central bankers banded together to collectively print money from nothing - it became ok as long as others were doing it too. Well the reality is that printing money does have repercussions and one could well argue that the rise of BitCoin is one such repercussion.

Same with the global attempt to eliminate physical cash - it's all great to go digital but when the central bankers decide they want to force everyone to spend more with negative interest rates it can indiscriminately hurt an average worker trying to save money to buy a home! Same goes for taxation - governments think its easy to raise money by increasing taxation, the offshore finance industry used to keep a lid on that until they were cracked down on - digital currencies can fill that gap.

Now there's no doubt that governments and central bankers might dislike control being taken away from them but to claim BitCoin hurts them is a bit like claiming jails hurt convicted felons... IMO.
The problem here is the narcissistic viewpoint. It's all about the author, their usage patterns, and their device problems. There's no mention of being part of (or missing out on) social debates or discussions. The author also doesn't mention any online clubs, teams, or groups which would miss them. Are they just bouncing off the front page of each site for a quick dopamine rush?

This reminds me of someone who goes to college and never joins any clubs, then comes home and complains that college is a waste of time.

Edit: suddenly, this seems reminiscent of the Inbox Zero initiative from years ago.
The modern medical field is not thousands of years old. It actually emulates the air traffic control system when it comes to its internal regulations and division of labor. This is how they keep out quacks who still believe in bloodletting.

We could do a lot better if we got over our hubris and tried to learn from how other more mature feilds run themselves.

With self-driving cars on the horizon, and with our entire communications infrastructure defined by software, the potential for catastrophe in our industry is greater than the medical industry.

When people have the economic security from a UBI not to have to worry about job security, they can more easily take a stand against bosses/landlords through collective organising efforts. Basically, the UBI can act as a strike fund, giving workers/tenants/etc. more power in the class struggle.
Long story short:

1. uncomment the deb-src lines in /etc/apt/sources.list; if you do not have these, simply copy each deb line and have it begin with deb-src.

2. apt-get update

3. apt-get source <packagename>

4. cd <packagename>-<version>

5. (do modifications here)

6. dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc

7. install the .deb packages in the parent directory with dpkg -i

Do note, this does not properly embed your modifications in a patch or whatever, I haven't figured out how to do this and lose my mind at the same time.

Some IT shops aren't very on top of BIOS configs. They should be, but just because they should be doesn't mean it matches reality. It doesn't occur to everyone to go into BIOS for any reason other than boot problems, let alone to audit for reducing attack surface area. I can see that falling through the cracks in policy and practice.
Avoiding taxes isn't illegal though.

It's not "the competitor", but a delegation of 7. No visas. On the bright side - we can finally logically put Israel, Iran and Qatar in the same list.
Passwords are PSKs and are the overwhelming default authentication mechanism for Internet scale systems.

Storing, distributing, and synchronizing billions of small blobs is actually a solved problem and not that big a deal. I wouldn't be so quick to write it off, because it has a real, working, easily understood invalidation and revocation story, which PKI does not.

A system that combines asymmetric crypto public-private key pairs with the distributed-whitelist properties of simple passwords, by treating the public keys as PSKs, has a lot of compelling benefits.
That is a good point. I suppose you could mitigate that if you were building new systems and used AMD products.

For the price, it is amazing how much server HP managed to cram into that little box. Mine has Celeron CPU, 16 GB RAM, runs FreeBSD, is mainly a file server (ZFS w/ 8 GB ARC) plus a few virtual machines via bhyve. The entire machine, including HDDs was about € 800,-

CPU-wise, performance is not exciting, of course, but disk- and network-performance is totally sufficient to serve a small home or office network. Which is what they were made for, I guess. ;-)

In two years, this little box has not let me down once.
GDAX bot activity is all: speculative automated trading, arbitrage, or (and most importantly) coinbase's own activity on the gdax exchange. They have to fill orders for all their customers clicking the buy button on their iphone apps. 100k new customers A DAY were seen at bitstamp, the coinbase app was the #1 app in the appstore, that is a lot of retail buying activity. Those buys are then passed to traders / bots that fill them on the exchange so I get that it looks automated and one-sided.

"if you try to arb it, all of a sudden the spread disappears" - well there's a lot of people trying to do the same thing because they think it is easy money and no one has thought of this great idea of buying LTC on one exchange and selling on GDAX, so when your incoming transfer of LTC completes so do a bunch of other transfers all doing the same arb trade (and those are automated and will beat you in the race).

The blogs you are referring to I do not hold in high esteem. I maintain high levels of doubt about exchanges as a whole and realize the extremely high counterparty risk more than most in the space, but their ideas about painting the tape and nefarious bots are misguided at best.
What don't you like about smuggling?

Smuggling is just free trade without waiting for your government to negotiate free trade agreements.
> why they wont give away anything gor now.

Nobody said that. A good start would be to cease construction of new settlements on illegal land. I am sure many neighboring countries would see that as a move in the right direction.

> So far I think Egypt is the only neighbouring country that isn't formally at war with them anymore.

That is false. None of the Middle Eastern countries are "at war" with Israel. On the contrary, some countries like KSA has begun trying to normalize relations with Israel, which is something many of its citizens do not agree with.

Every description I've heard of it has language like this:

AMT is a large module with a huge number of
different network protocols of various levels
integrated into it. This module contains a great
deal of legacy code but can only be found in
business systems.

In absolute terms it's probably not as bad as a desktop operating system, which is laboring under sisyphean compatibility constraints on top of huge attention from researchers and a nearly totally intractable threat model. Relatively speaking, though, those same things must be taken into account - their attack surfaces are thousands of times bigger and they attract thousands of times more attention. Seeing about as many critical vulns in the AMT as in, say, the entire Linux kernel... yeah, I'd call that "awful code quality".

Plus there's the fact that the original vulnerability was literally "you can get in by sending an empty password". A culture that lets a bug like that through cannot be conducive to good code.

>This task amounts to replacing the engine of a running car.

I hate this phraseology, and IMO it's a telltale sign of a new or inexperienced professional developer (another variation: "replace jet engine while in flight"). All non-greenfield development forbids breaking the existing system in order to make changes. This is a daunting responsibility, but it's inherent and assumed, so only college kids who have never had to maintain a running system before talk about it like it's noteworthy.

If someone needs a microservice architecture to support team growth, it just means they don't know how to manage a team, and have to let every dev or pair of devs have their own little kingdom.
Wasn't another thing that Boeing believed that fuel economy would become more important in the future and thus developed airframes with fuel efficiency in mind?

At the time the Dreamliner was being announced people were initially underwhelmed by the proposal but Boeing persisted and tried to impress upon the aviation industry that they had made the right choice. I don't think at the time everyone thought the Dreamliner was the best answer to the A380.

Possible bug: I cannot go back from the home page. Here is what I did. Visited the about page, then came back to home page and clicked on Register.

Now if I click on the back button, it's trying to send me to the portfolio, and since I don't have one now, it's redirecting me to the home page.

I have to hold the back button and select a page to go back to, which in this case was HN.
That's a clearly defective model from a game theoretical point of view. A certain rich person can do very little to preserve the stability of the society, so their actions would be concentrated on things that give them direct benefits, that may or may not help society. It's essentially an externality problem, everybody is marginally hurt by say pollution, but some have local gains that far outweigh the costs, motivating them to pollute, bribe politicians and regulators, skirt taxes and so on, leaving other rich or poor people to support the welfare of the society. When the scales tip in favor of the freeriders, you have a failed state that no rich profiteer could have prevented, working individually.
MIRTS is actually an incredibly shallow take on RTS. I remember playing an extremely similar game back in 2007 and I also remember thinking that game was extremely similar to design docs that I had seen people blogging about a few years earlier.

MIRTS is something I'd expect from a weekend programming jam. It's a minimal effort and it's not surprising that it did minimally well in the marketplace.
