> A lot of times, ... programmers don't go far enough asking the questions about 'Why do you want that? What is it that you're actually trying to do?'

As somebody who is currently trying to push more UI/UX-centric ideas in their company, this quote really hits home.

Edit: maybe someday I'll get formatting right the first time.
> You've clearly never walked in the countryside.

I've lived in the countryside for 14 years. I don't walk on the roads where I live. The roads are narrow and there is no place to walk as the side of the roads are raised embankments built from tree roots. Looks like this: http://c8.alamy.com/comp/C41G6T/country-lane-with-trees-form...
> Yes, jobs don't exist for those 9k workers - but the workforce being freed is exciting as it opens up entire potential markets that were simply impractical prior.

Like what? Name a single potential market that exists today, and is being held back by a lack of unskilled or semi-skilled labor.

When people moved off of the farms, it was because there were factory jobs to be had in the cities. It was possible to see where people would end up even before farming automation made most farmers unnecessary. As far as I can see, no such transition is apparent today. Unskilled workers are being made redundant with no new labor market to take them.

Some of these workers may get some training and become developers and robot mechanics, but many unskilled workers can't make that jump for whatever reason. It's not realistic to expect all of these people to become skilled workers.
I'm on 10.12.6 and a local admin account, and it only unlocks to my actual password. That might mean it's a recently-introduced bug (assuming someone else can reproduce my result).
Yeah, it's how it works where I live too, but what I had in mind was cranking the taxes (and the homestead savings) even higher to drive out bad landlords and up enforcement against the ones that stay.
Are there any stories/examples of MIT-licensed projects being subject to hostile take-overs?

Also if it's you are the originator of a project what's stopping you from using the GPL license but not disclosing your own source while you commercialize?
Yeah, with large companies like Amazon, never discount bureaucratic log-jams and just regular stupidity. I agree with you that optimizations can be made, but the system may be in a 'not broken, don't fix' local maximum. The inertia and complexity may be too hard to over come. Twitter only recently upped the character limit after nearly a decade because the old code-base was spaghetti and didn't allow improvement.

But these are the reasons why the large CEOs have always been terrified of 'two guys in a garage'. They know they have issues like this, and that the little scrappers don't. If anything, these little issues are the camel's nose under the tent of Amazon.
Yeah, and there have been and continue to be ongoing improvements in the layout and general rundownedness of the concourses. I was pleasantly surprised the last time I was there. Would I like to snap my fingers and conjure up old Penn Station to replace the soulless crap built on Penn Station's air rights? Sure, who wouldn't. But the crumbling infrastructure (to say nothing of the crowded platforms underground, etc.) is the bigger problem.
There is no law mandating that, it's just what you need to support if you want to decode the signal you actually receive with your antenna. The broadcasters have agreed to a common standard (which makes sense, imagine the mess if everybody broadcasted with a different technology).

> I could, as someone who doesn't have a driving license, or has never learned to drive, go out on the road with my bicycle and more or less ride whenever and wherever I like.

Sure. Realistically, how much danger do people doing this represent to society? There are plenty of dangerous things that people could do, but the heavy machinery of law should be reserved for actual problems rather than hypothetical ones.

> If I tried to do the same thing in a car I'd be arrested.

And quite rightly, because if you weren't there's a good chance you'd kill people. Car drivers kill a lot of people, they're something like the 4th biggest cause of death in the UK IIRC.
Don't forget our military misadventures abroad -- they ain't cheap.
I wonder if they've already pre-written the 2020 version of this piece, "Samsung's Virtual Assistant Bixby Is Dead", which will go on to call out the hubris of the voice interface gold rush.

Funny, I read his comment through a critical Economic lens and find myself in agreement. Capitalism is cold hearted (to use your wording)...there is no accounting for ethics in Supply and Demand models.

This fact is an underlying foundation for many regulatory bodies. For example the EPA establishes and enforces environmental rules in the best interest of society as a whole rather than allow companies to pollute ad nauseam which would be in their individual bottom line's best interest. This type of regulation is meant to correct factors outside of market actors which lead to an equilibrium that is sub-optimal for society.

You might say he sounds cold hearted, but that is unfairly judging an individual ethically for the speculation of an economic reality which has no ethicality.
> It might be my imagination, but I seem to recall nearly all, if not all, 4-ways marked as such with a small rectangular placard below the stop sign in Virginia.

This is the key problem. Whether an intersection is a 4-way or 2-way stop sign changes the right-of-way of any person with a stop sign. (If it's 2-way, I must yield, but if it's 4-way and I've reached the intersection first, I have the right-of-way.) It is crazy that in the US, a person at a stop sign can't distinguish these two situations for certainly without looking to see if the other direction has a stop sign.

(Similar complaints can be made about flashing-red and flashing-yellow intersections.)
This is more or less what corporativism suggests, that geography really doesn't make much sense as a grouping parameter. Corporatism suggests grouping people in a voting area by occupation, usually by way of guilds or unions or the like.

Specifics aside, I fully agree that I'm much more likely to have something in common with a software developer across the state than the school-teacher next door.
So then why is that? I'd assume general stupidity, we're humans after-all. But there may be something else going on. Any ideas?
This is great, and the code is particularly easy to follow and quite Pythonic. Nice!
Driver or cyclist, if you fail to navigate that intersection safely and correctly you will be cited (or injured or killed). How does requiring a license for cyclists solve this problem? You mentioned that driving without a license will get you arrested. This is true, but only after you've committed a violation, unless your country has random driver's license checkpoints (mine doesn't). We can already cite cyclists for moving violations today. Licensing doesn't change anything.
I'd prefer if gyms would refrain from playing music as well.

Can confirm it doesn't work on "Sierra", so it must be high sierra's feature.
Blackberry went through the same issue with the a similar outcome.

Personally, I see this as a positive development, as it signals that the company is doing what it claims to, promoting the PRC to get the same accommodation that Office 365 delivered versus giving the state the level of access it demands.

If you feel strongly or have a requirement to control your account principal, you should not be using a third party identity store.

Are UHD disks going to be anymore than the modern version of laserdisk?

Well, the root account password bug and this bug both do not reproduce on Sierra, so they were both introduced in High Sierra. Unless you’re arguing that Apple fixed a bunch of undisclosed vulnerabilities when they introduced these, High Sierra is definitely worse.

It's supposed to be amusing. Think 'the cake is a lie'.
Even if its much lower, because there is the potential for a new entrant that has better "features" so that demand for the previous coins drops, there will always be risk in holding specific coins.

Think disagreement between miners, changes to algorithms, forks of blockchains. Gold does not have the same risk.

One nitpick: I think the SEC ruled ICOs to be comparable to certificates from what I understood. This is quite different to stocks. I could be wrong.

I'm not sure how homebrew works but most of the node version managers will keep independent global installation folders for a version of node.

You could try using something like nvm which has a command to migrate your old global modules.

nvm install node --reinstall-packages-from=node
That's simply not true.

I left Criteo a handful of years ago and I can easily admit the work conditions were really nice, and the skill level among the team quite high.

I can also say there are other companies with comparable perks and technology level (or maybe the code level of Criteo has very considerably increased, but looking at what's open sourced, like cuttle, it doesn't seem like it), like some founded by former criteo employees (or c level dudes, since JB Rudelle is creating a new tech company with Romain Niccoli)

Your answer sounds to me like a false dichotomy argument.
This does not help at all for the drubbing that macOS High Sierra has been getting recently. Long term OS X users have been waiting for a Snow Leopard like release, but it seems like Apple isn’t taking as much care as required on security and stability on the Mac. Something has to give — either Apple’s organizational structure needs a change or Apple needs to abandon certain things completely instead of releasing sub-standard products that aren’t expected from it.

As a long time Mac user, I keep hoping that Apple will decide to double down on better and deeper focus on all its products, including the Mac, its OS and ecosystem, and make the changes necessary across its organization and its teams.

Your comment is a perfect example of someone ignoring the other person and trying to win an argument at all costs. You completely restated what I wrote into an unrecognizable and false statement. That is commonly called a strawman logical fallacy.

While I get some of the merits of this method in the beginning, it really does subvert democracy.

"Los Angeles and New York get less proportional representation, just because many people choose to live there."

"What about the people of rural South Dakota, don't they get a vote?"

Absolutely they do.

Geographic systems are based on a flawed predicate. Democracy should be based on "1 person, 1 vote", not "1 square mile/foot, 1 vote".
Most of the recently discussed High Sierra bugs were not there on Sierra, while the features were there, like this one.

So it's not that much pen tensting, but Apple making changes and not validating them correctly. Maybe they have their Vista moment with High Sierra, maybe we forgot previous buggy versions.
We should abolish software patents. Reason software builds on Mathematics and you cannot patent Mathematics.

Oh yeah, I know all about those! I live in Reston, VA, one of the early planned communities.

Quadruple whammy of taxes/fees! And four levels of incompetence to deal with!
Expanding on your point #1: The inertia of large props means they can't change speed quickly, so there will be lag in the control inputs. (In toy quadcopters, electric motor torque is so high vs prop inertia that lag is a non-issue.) Collective pitch controls don't exhibit this lag. Electronic controls can compensate for inertia lag to some extent, but they have to be carefully designed using control theory, and if they fail the copter will likely be uncontrollable.
You should look at the usable payload of a Cessna 150 or Piper Cub, and keep in mind that figure includes fuel, if you think that's low. Weight and balance is something you have to pay close attention to in aviation in general, and what your passengers are carrying does matter.
"If you build a system where everything comes down to trusting the server, you might as well dispense with all the complexity and forget about end-to-end encryption," says Matthew Green, a cryptography professor at Johns Hopkins University who reviewed the Ruhr University researchers' work. "It's just a total screwup. There's no excuse."

Someone was asking about blockchains. THIS is why you use blockchains. So you don't trust just the server. Actually everything on the Web trusts the server. That's just how the Web was designed.

Now, one way to mitigate this - and also improve security in open source projects - is to implement a blockchain hosted by many organizations which can't all be compromised easily.

At Qbix, we are working on a drop-in data structure that would implement arbitrary business rules in a secure way. The nice thing is you don't need everyone to adopt it, for it to help you secure your network.

For example, some guy starts a group so he has all the access and privileges, and he uses them to invite others and assign privileges. Then he repudiates his own privileges in the group. Now everyone can verify and be SURE that everyone has the same privileges - rules are added for different types of Messages posted on the Stream and are are enforced by the blockchain.

That is how you do governance. It ain't easy but there can be packages made, of different governance types.

PS: However when you have end-to-end encryption, you don't need the blockchain to be hosted on servers. You can have the server relay messages between clients and enforce rules on the clients.

If you don't need consensus, sometimes you don't even need a blockchain! For example, with Reddit, you can just have an append-only Merkle Tree and have clients pass each other comments.

But what if you wanted to expand more comments? Do you have read permission? Do you have write permission?

One way to do it is on a per-thread basis. Each thread is owned by its OP. The rules are enforced by the OP and the messages are published by the OP. So then you trust the OP to be available (online) and accept and broadcast your reply etc.

But if you have MORE THAN ONE user involved in governance of a Stream (our terminology) then you need a blockchain. At the very least, to verify there are no malicious forks of a stream.

If you want to find out more you can look in my profile (about) and email me.
That makes an awful lot of sense, in which case the bug is just not checking that the login is 'cached' before displaying the dialog. In a similar vein to another comment, though, why doesn't that dialog detect the state of the 'login cache' consistently across all occurrences?
On OS X, administrative accounts still need to authenticate with their passwords to perform administrative tasks. This is to avoid (presumably) someone using your computer and changing settings without your consent if you have automatic login enabled, and to make sure you pay attention to what you're doing (similar to the UAC prompts on Windows, and sudo on Windows)
In addition to what others have said, it's common that the suburbs of sprawling American cities are unwalkable, and completely impossible to live in without access to a car.

I grew up in a Suburb in Colorado where the only buildings for miles were other houses. It was impossible to walk to the grocery store or any other amenity. It's extremely isolating, and a hostile and depressing living experience in my experience

Right, which is why Microsoft has been tweaking its support platform with Windows 10 to try to narrow the number of simultaneous versions they must support, then all the efforts to funnel users faster through updates so that they retire updates faster.

All the complaints about Windows 10 forcing users to update are exactly related to Microsoft trying to narrow the forest of possibilities of patch/update/upgrade combinations in the wild.

All the complaints from companies that Windows 10 major update versions now only have 18-month support terms (as opposed to say nearly 10-years like XP), is again, Microsoft trying to shrink the forest to focus on fewer, more important trees.

As a user, I want Microsoft to force more updates if it means better support and faster fixes, and it disappoints me how every time Windows 10 is brought up here on HN, or over on The Verge or Ars Technica, a half dozen people come out of the woodwork to loudly complain about Windows 10 updates.

I can give you reasonably firm quotes for tax preparation but I cannot give you quotes inclusive of taxes, because there is wide variance in situations and because "Estimate my taxes for me" is very firmly in the practice of accountancy and/or law.

Getting started with Atlas is $500 flat, in all cases. The ballpark numbersfor yearly running costs, inclusive of the Delaware franchise tax, registered agent fee, the bank fee, and a tax return through the appropriate Atlas partner but not inclusive of corporate income tax or your personal tax situation:

No activity: ~$1,000
$20k of sales, all US activity: ~$2,000
$20k of sales, cross-border activity: still rounds to ~$2,000 but the tax return preparation will cost ~$200 more
Gold's value comes from being a natural Schelling point, not it's intrinsic value. There are copies (silver, platinum) but they don't have the same value as they aren't serving as the main Schelling point. So the copies aren't a problem. The market will "pick" one over time, and then everyone will mostly use that because that's what everyone uses. Any of the crypto's could make a superior store of value vs. gold.

The only one who can keep up the house is owner, but as you can see in this case they'll just choose to pocket the rent.

I don't think it's just a profit thing. If you're a small time landlord, it's probably incredibly expensive to retain a gardener/landscaper for such a tiny job. On the other hand, unless you live down the street it's awfully difficult to mow the grass every week, shovel the sidewalk after snow, water the plants, and so forth.

A small time landlord has no economies of scale for professional services, but doesn't make enough money to quit their day job either. (which would give them time to do all this themselves)
For certain features, they want you to reconfirm that the user presently at the keyboard is the real admin at the moment that you do it.

> Very, very few ACME clients have a renewal mechanism that supports automatic fallback to a different challenge type. I know a couple and the only one I can think of is certbot, and even there that's only true if you use the standalone or manual plugin (the others don't support "--preferred-challenges").

And that's why I use and recommend certbot in standalone mode.

> You're changing goal posts.

No, I'm trying to explain my overall point.

> Part of knowing what you're doing as a developer is knowing that you either have sane defaults or stuff is going to break for a lot of people.

Right, but in this case Caddy doesn't have "defaults" that experienced dev's can change, it has "this is just how I fucking work".

> Are you implying anyone using the default instructions for certbot is inexperienced?

I'm suggesting that anyone whose sole research into how to use ACME generated certificates in production is "what's the quick start for certbot say?" is inexperienced.

> so they're better off with a "managed" solution like Caddy.

Managed, except that they have to keep intervening or updating to a new build to restore functionality because it manages things like a drunk on a snow mobile.

> It's just silly to go on about how terrible Caddy is when they happen to have a mitigation in place.

Caddy requires a 'mitigation'. Certbot can and is deployed with a configuration that doesn't require any mitigation. It's just silly to keep claiming Caddy's approach is "the best" when you require a mitigation.
Neat!
