Uhm, no. I don't owe anything to anyone unless I took it upon myself as a voluntarily obligation. I don't have any sympathy for other people just for their sake of being people - it's not that much of an achievement, really.

I think the type of education they're talking about is not formal education like in school but how to educate yourself about today's events. Not something you could or should go to school for.

Go uses structural typing which feels like duck typing but it's actually checked at compile time.

That's the reason why the Go community feels generics are not the top priority (euphemism.)

Only in very specific cases (implementing data structures, for example) you can feel the need for generics. Maybe also in serialization, although that's really normal to pass a generic container (object, void *, interface{}) and use introspection.
Ok then why have these lines at all? That is my argument.
Arguably, this is why art is so valuable. You have to know what you're looking for, you can't just show up with a bucket of money and expect to be a player. You have to know someone in the business, it's an industry that is highly based on community knowledge.
If you go just by the statement of current accounts then the poorest half isn’t who you think they are.
If you live in some underdeveloped country and live on 1 dollar a day you also often don’t have debt because you are unable to acquire it.
That said it’s also hard to claim that some middle or lower middle class family in a western county with 100-150,000 dollars in long term debt e.g. because of a mortgage is poorer than some poor guy in Bangladesh that would not be able to be in any institutionalized debt in their life because of just how poor they are.
Negative wealth is arguably a privilege of the lucky.

Mastodon has a norm that news/current events are hidden behind a content warning/subject line. So if you want a news-free timeline, you can have it. You're still responsible for who you follow, but the timeline is straight reverse-chronological with no algorithmic fiddling, and numbers aren't shown for favs and boosts unless you zoom in on a post's details. There's less incentive for clickbait and outrage.

It could get worse in the future, as it's relatively small (1 million known active users) and has a positive founder effect, but for now it's very good.

I'm wondering if the original "API dependencies" comment didn't mean "shared API dependencies". As in, multiple API/services depending on the same shared code/library.

APIs calling other APIs is...well, I'm having a hard time understanding how that could be construed as fundamentally wrong.
According to the Russian Wiki article, Energiya's first stage was designed to be reusable by the way of parachutes, solid fuel engines and supports, however, the system was not implemented during its two launches and the parachute containers were loaded with other equipment.

Ask HN: Are there any on-demand sysadmin/devops/dba markets? There should be
I'm wondering if anyone knows of a good service or marketplace that allows me to get a hold of someone more knowledgeable than me in a particular technology when I need it.

For example, I am a decent sysadmin and can manage a fleet of servers, but for that one time when I can't figure something out, I want to be able to log in on this marketplace that has professionals "on call", ready to give immediate help. Perhaps the service would just let me choose what expertise I need, such as "Sysadmin" with "Ubuntu" knowledge, and it would connect me with one immediately and supply them any SSH details needed for them to log in themselves. This could even be automated with alerts that open up tickets with such services.

The same for database services, devops, etc. This is in contrast to usual "managed" services where you pay a monthly fee for something you might not even use. This would would be pay-as-you go at an hourly rate.

Does something like this exist?
I once saw a YouTube video in which the vlogger consistently mispronounced the title of the game Heretic as though it rhymed with "magnetic". And he did this with at least one other word ("requiem")! Hearing him mis-accent these words was like nails on chalkboard. It's like where have you been, that you're reading these words for the first time, just now?
You are reading too much into that sentence. Most software engineers at Google actually have a MacBook as laptop and a Linux workstation.
You may misunderstand how laws work. The government can make anything illegal. (Within the constraints of the various checks and balances, but those mechanisms do not turn quickly.)

The most obvious way is to make it a crime to exchange bitcoin for USD, goods, or services. (Doesn't even have to be bitcoin specifically; they can say "blockchain-backed digital resources" or whatever.) Scope it under interstate commerce, in the US; who's going to stop them? Obviously that wouldn't kill BTC overnight, but it would kill any legitimate market. If they're really worked up they can compel financial entities to disclose or block payments to/from known BTC exchanges, or compel telcos to do the same for blockchain mining traffic. They could even ban owning bitcoin; delete your keys or you're committing a felony.

How wouldn't they ban bitcoin, really?
How would that work with people who think the New York Times is fake news to begin with? They're not going to suddenly change their mind because fb says they're real. It'll simply reinforce people's mind or they'll say fb is biased or paid off or whatever. Even if fb had a perfect system it wouldn't solve the problem. People didn't use logic when coming to the idea that NYT is fake and Breitbart is real, so you can't use logic to get them out of it.

It's a no win situation at this point. I'm not sure there's any solution short of removing news from the platform.
And here you have it, in the front page of HN
Most companies need to be able to answer the question, "is this client one of ours," when protecting sensitive resources.

Most companies will instead answer the question, "is the client on our network," and pretend that it was the same question. The fact that it clearly is not has some very obvious security implications and attack vectors that we've been living with for decades.

Beyondcorp tries to more directly answer the original question about device identity rather than subbing in the network question in its place.

The fact that this approach is novel says a lot about the maturity of our industry.

But this makes zero sense! What purpose does the coin serve here? Imagine coins had somehow gotten tied in with email protocols. The person who came up with the protocol somehow gets to magically siphon off money every time someone sends an email? Why? How?

Are Programs Better Than People at Predicting Reoffending?
> Research on actual hiring shows female Ph.D.s are disproportionately less likely to apply for tenure-track positions, but if they do apply, they are more likely to be hired, sometimes by a 2:1 ratio.

I think the society and culture needs to work a bit harder to promote the idea of a girl as a professor, scientist, hacker, math wiz etc. Not just lip service but change the stories, the cartoons, movies, games etc. For too long in popular culture, starting early on girls are just princesses, then then later just a romantic interest side-kick. I noticed with my own daughter, she really wants identify with bad guys in the cartoons because even though they are naughty they have the coolest toys, rule the world and tell their minions what to do. But she finds it hard because the majority of the "cool" roles are taken by boys.

Yes by the time it comes to apply for tenure track positions, girls have already been told verbally and non-verbally many times -- "this is not for you, probably".

I remember in Eastern Europe in primary education, girls and women were more interested in math than boys. I was getting help with calculus homework from them. My high school CS teacher was a professional programmer before and she was an inspiration many girls and to boys alike, including me. She had a large book on Pascal and if we were good we could stay after school and do exercises from it. So I have seen it work in practice -- it is possible to have a culture and attitude where girls see math, science and CS as appealing disciplines.

On the other hand, I think it is worth to acknowledge that maybe there is also an element were women just don't want to do CS or math. Even if they had positive role models. I know we all think tech is super awesome, getting paid to do what we love, implement and develop cool algorithms, etc. But what if sitting in a cubicle inverting binary trees all day, mostly in isolation, doesn't appeal to others, and maybe those other are more likely to be women. Is that controversial to say? I imagine it might be soul crushing for some even if they were promised to get RSUs, options and a large salary.
It's more like, letting users "legitimize" news is how you get bots screwing with everything. It may not be a problem for some, including myself since my feed is similar to how you describe yours, but network waide, it will pose an issue.
Well by all means don't 'speculate'.
> a case today that forces Google to share all the data that it collects on searches would help break its monopoly.

I'd rather see legislation against private entities aggregating that information. Honestly, Google's search has been getting worse for me as they optimize towards a more general audience.
Even 2021 is overoptimistic. Typical turnaround for a major design change in a CPU is more like 5 years.
There are plenty of ordinary people that e.g. prefer one religion to other or believe in traditional gender roles. Some of those people believe they should be able to express those opinions in the same way people express opinions about diversity or equality regardless if other people considered those opinions e.g. sexist. I happen to disagree with those people, but I wouldn't consider their opinions less serious.
I've deployed this approach at jobs before with tempestuous bosses. I can assure you that you don't need to reserve it for egregious outbursts. These sorts think of anger as energizing, any charged-up display commands respect from them.

Eventually they start thinking of you as their protege.

Probably. But I'm not inclined to rely on third-party companies for a core business infrastructure. The сompany behind a VPN I portray above most probably uses in-house self-hosted Gitlab/Confluence/etc instances. However, it's absolutely okay to outsource such needs when it's appropriate.
Litecoin is philosophically a small-block currency. The moment the blocks fill up, your money will be trapped by high transaction fees in the same way that they would be on bitcoin core. Not to mention the creator sold his entire stash. That's a pretty clear sell signal--I would never develop around a dying open source project, so why would I trust my money to one.
You certainly have a point: it doesn't make sense for all kinds of protocols. I would say that coins are a good fit for contexts that involve decentralized service provision of some sort. Also in situations that could benefit from a decentralized database (blockchain), though those are surprisingly rare.

There actually already exists a coin connected to messaging protocols, Kin. I don't see much practical use for it however.
Partially agree, but the world is a big place. Lots of random internal resources do exist, even at big companies.

Internal resources are owned by many separate teams. They implement AuthN / AuthZ on their own. Resources might prompt for a username & password and then do an LDAP Bind with them, or they might have a local database, or they might use an SSO/SAML, or any other number of mechanisms.

Resource owners want to move fast, they want new internal apps. Central IT/Security wants to add WAFs, 2FA, centralized logging, and all kinds of other controls.

The BeyondCorp model moves these responsibility to an easier to deploy model. It's now centralized as a service, rather than each internal app needing to buy 5 security appliances that they are required to put in their rack.
When you weigh hiring a professional versus DIY, you have to consider the impact of income taxes, not just what you earn/hr versus pay/hr. You have to pay the pro with post-taxed earnings, and then the pro has to pay tax on what you pay them before they can do anything with it. Whereas, if you DIY, you aren't taxed for it. (Also, many people can't just 'work ore hours' to get paid more).
Contactless payments take less than 5 seconds. For 5-10 items, I can scan and pay in less than a minute. And that without being registered for that store.
It's also a huge amount of hubris. You either punt this problem to the users in which case you have massive, incurable, vote brigadding, or you pretend to be opening it up "democratically" but in reality you use heavy handed algorithms to curb all outliers in whatever bias the algorithm deems fit.

Gold is more valuable than cryptocurrency because 1) for a “by acclamation” store of value, the thousands of years and billions of people who recognize gold as an asset is a big advantage, and 2) you can’t make “forks” of gold unlike Bitcoin Cash, Dogecoin, etc.
Looking for Co-Founder
I want to apply for the Summer 2018 Y Combinator funding cycle.

I am a technical founder. I am very good when it comes to programming and technical research. But I am not good at nor interested in making the visual designs of graphics and websites look good but I think this is very important for a business.

I am looking for a co-founder that has very good web design and graphics design skills to complement my programming skills. Of course I am also looking for a co-founder that has other good qualities like resourcefulness and someone I will work well with etc.

I have an idea for what business to start and I want to start it with a co-founder. It is technical but will also require good visual design.

If you are interested, or know someone who might be interested, please contact me: mudgen@gmail.com

Your third point is precisely why Facebook is a problem. For a person to be an active member of your community group, that person must join Facebook. To opt out of Facebook entirely becomes impractical.
Maybe the problem is education. Education is the solution for most problems. It's also the hardest, most expensive solution.

You will never educate the masses and even if you did, some of what you taught them would be wrong.

PyDev of the Week: Christopher Truncer
FYI this is a great neutral explanation up until the last paragraph, which is politically charged. This attempts to imply the Republican party sought the shutdown. In fact, the shutdown was caused by the Democratic party not voting for the Continuing Resolution (pseudo-budget). 60 Senate votes are required, but the majority party (Republicans) only has 51. It's a big slimy ball of politics all-around.

Also, more on point, many government entities have "carry-forward" funds which are available during a shutdown. In 2013 the Executive Branch (Democrat president) discouraged the use of these funds. The current admin is encouraging their use to ensure as little disruption as possible.
Time to dial down the threading then.
Interesting. I personally find that journalism all too often neglects the negative aspects of technologies, being far to eager to play up companies' own hype about the revolutionary impact of their technology or software without taking a second to examine the risks or shortcomings. See: social networking, cryptocurrency, autonomous vehicles, online advertising, hyperloop, online education, tablets/laptops/PCs in schools...

The fact is that powerful technologies are usually quite easy to misuse intentionally or not. Often/usually just in a wasteful way--the tech isn't ready, or it's a waste of time and money, or it gets people to take ridiculous gambles and lose all their money. But sometimes the misuse is actually extremely dangerous. Huge unintended consequences are possible, and we are kidding ourselves to ignore it or to say "Don't blame the technology, only people can misuse technology." Well, people are imperfect, and it's irresponsible to pretend that the massively powerful tools we now have do not come with massive risks as well.
I get it a little, but still think this article summarizes the deficiencies well, and concurs with your confusion:

Basically poor call. They had someone code Bylock from scratch for them because they thought it would be more secure.
But it means you can whitelist trusted OS releases. And ensure devices have all the security updates they claim to.

You'd still have intrusion detection, firewall, user presence detection, monitoring at the proxy, etc. to guard against threats posed by local exploits.

The assets of those eight are almost certainly going to be invested, so it's not really as if they can spend all the money without changing the value of the assets that make up their wealth.

However, absence of evidence of a consumption inequality comparable match the wealth inequality does not imply there is no consumption inequality -- something which really cannot be denied -- it just won't be as horrific a ratio as with wealth, but it could still be quite eye-opening.

For what it's worth, I very much doubt the eight wealthiest are the top eight consumers.
I appreciate your comment.
The "purpose" of whoever started it is irrelevant, just as it is with Bitcoin core. It can be forked. It is an offering with a different approach to scaling. Nothing you described says "scam" to me. The only reason core promoters fight so hard against it is because it is threatening because it works!
