I've tried Prime now a few times (Bay Area) and its frequently out of stock of really standard items (ex a 1/2 gallon of whole milk, non-organic) or you'll add some celery to your cart and then by the time you order its out of stock. Prices don't seem to be particularly great either. I can order from wholefoods via instacart and it might be cheaper depending on the items you get. Last time I went to order they didn't have enough drivers and had no delivery slots available, I had to wait a day and then schedule it again for the following day...

I see. Thanks for the clarification.
They absolutely could've landed the booster. They chose not to because it was an old model (block 3, iirc) and they wanted data on a more-efficient landing technique.
The fact that I cannot, in the absence of perfect test
coverage, verify the correctness of someone’s code is a
big red flag.

Pssst... you can't do this with any type system. You might be able to come close with some of the fancier dependent-typing stuff, but at some point a "sufficiently-specific type specification" starts looking an awful lot like a QuickCheck-style test.
Ask HN: Why doesn't google.com implement DNSSEC?
My holy, how did you port that!
Check out http://www.windows93.net for a bonkers take on that vision.
Interesting point. Notably though, a function that could optimize itself based on the exact type given (e.g. runtime “instanceof”) can recover performance while still being general enough to accept anything. If you pass around nothing but exact types, you lose that opportunity.
I stutter, sometimes really bad. I've written about it at https://justink.svbtle.com/being-a-founder-with-a-speech-imp....

I'm a single and multiple startup founder. When I was trying to raise capital for one of my companies it was certainly an impediment and felt like I squandered multiple meetings (investors, VC's, business opportunities) sometimes only getting a few complete sentences out.

Phone and virtual meetings are worse for me, so whenever possible I try to always meet in person. Stress and anxiety makes my stuttering worse. Strangely I've also found my stuttering seems to have seasons. Certain times that tend to get worse.

I'm pretty sure Elon Musk has a stammer/stutter but it's gotten way better probably with such public practice and working with a speech therapist since he has unlimited funds to spend on improvement.

There have been some great threads on stuttering here on HN:

- How to Stop Apologizing for My Stutter, and Other Important Lessons (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14949950)

- Being a single founder with a speech impediment (my own post)

When I published in Nature and Science (haven't published in PNAS but I have in other journals) it seemed to be a bit more organized with more actual employed staff vs. volunteer academic editors and so on. Not sure if that could explain this large a discrepancy.
Does anyone know why Google hasn't implemented DNSSEC on google.com ?
I use the free tier of Google Cloud Platform's compute engine to run my server. I use Let's Encrypt for HTTPS. My website is totally free.
Exactly. It will show up in any modern browser with a big red "This site is not safe!" type of message if that was to happen. This is one of the reasons Google (and others) so proactively protect the certificate infrastructure so meticulously, and run efforts like https://www.certificate-transparency.org/
Actually, other comments did reference "what-about-ism"

Also, if you say Google has an too large an effect on your business because of tweaks to search ranking, you can't say Apple doesn't have too large an effect due to tweaks in their T&C, app review policies, or outright bans if your app. Lots of startups have been hurt by App Store bans, removals, and delays.
Or wear a helmet?
I wonder if anyone has come up with or tried a system that has up /down vote as being factually inaccurate, and a separate one for I downvote cuz I don't like this, although I cant't say it's factually wrong. Things like that.

It seems that different people use these things for different reasons - and they may not be wrong, but the affects on the stories / comments could be to the same even if it was not the intention of the voter.

I've kicked around ideas about differing voting options for social sites, and have some options that include emojis and such, just to add context to the vote.

Certainly good civil discourse can be better if people can admit they don't like something, or want it to change, even if the facts of a certain piece are accurate.

OF course having an "downvote not as innacurate, but missing other facts such as blah blah blah.. or downvote as appearing to purposefully cherry pick some facts and leaving out other well known facts in an effort to scew the views of others".. these kinds of votes would add to other people's understanding of conversations perhaps..

Sites could have other views the lead threads for more info on hover / long press.. with options for "more facts people have suggested are left out" - stuff like that..

and of course change your viewing of threads based upon your circle, or tribe.. and show the view if followed opposite tribe.. things like that.

I for one would like to see these things happen all around the web - just no idea how to code it, and how the ux could be done. Fancy total re-arrange ajax maybe?

Of course people could self select their "tribe" democrats vs republicans for example.. but machines could also create their own "tribes" based upon ips or other info known about groups of users...

tap to see how group of google employees all pushed up or down
tap to see how ips from gov addy have pushed up doen..

stuff like that.

I think I have been voted up and down for things, and don't know why - so no way to learn or debate it, but of course this is HN and not some international televised and rated broadcast or whatever, and apparently there are methods for people to view things that are voted down or whatever if they wish.

Coming from the sony dash app and tablet version mainly, I still don't understand how this thing works all the way it seems.
That attack was way too sophisticated beyond the capability of any home-made effort. The attackers tried to cover it behind "home-made" veil. At any rate it threatens any conventional army.
As a kid I had a stutter, sometimes it still emerges now when talking passionately about something, and a few other situations. But gee I hated speaking in front of the class at school. Didn't seem fair I had to do it! But I never talked to anyone about my problem, which I'd do in 2 seconds if I lived that over again. (Same with bullying) I think maybe it was to do with very low self-esteem. And I was very shy, self-conscious.

Something that comes to mind is a story I heard about George Clooney - in the beginning he was having no luck at auditions. So he decided to switch from a mentality of "Please help me, please give me what I want" to "I'm here because I have something unique to offer you and the production", which made all the difference. I think that would work in many difficult situations for stuttering and fear of public speaking. One time I had to talk in front of the class about my long holiday in Europe, it wasn't a problem. (Except when my throat cracked after speaking for so long! hehe.) Because I was the one with something to offer them, I guess.

Mainly, get some expert help, read books about it. Watch The King's Speech. Cause it is unpleasant, for you and others. More commonly I hear in people's speech what seems undiagnosed dyslexia - a combination of mixing terms, using wrong words, not being able to pronounce words.
That's not sufficient when the external page can be controlled and the iframe target set by it.
Yeah, that’s a little better but can’t an attacker inject something in the surrounding the age that compromises the iframe? Or even rewrite the iframe to use a proxy under the attackers control?

While I am no longer working in Academia and don't have access to journal subscriptions I'm still able to easily read papers in my discipline (Materials Science) and many others across a wide range of related physical science fields. Granted, PhDs are a minority of the general public, I'm still a member of the public and I'd like to read journal articles that come about as the result of my tax-funded research grants.

Other smart people, with some dedication and effort could learn enough to read scientific journals. People learn to read music or learn other languages. If you wanted to learn science you should have access to the works you helped fund.
Sucks for you maybe. This is good for the majority of the country.
Of course, this is a feature in certain contexts: I’d love to be able to inspect all the traffic going in and out of my home network and possibly even modifying it at the edge device.
Maximally efficient is minimally robust.

Perhaps we should prioritize food supply reliability over maximal efficiency.

If shipping around the world suddenly stopped (perhaps due to war), our food supply would become very unhealthy with very little choice until we had a growing season or two to rediversify.

The reason you are an “employee” and not a “contractor” at the restaurants is because they dictate your hours and place of business.

I have a family member who was associated with Monsanto and - by extension - the Manhattan Project. It's a fascinating, inspiring, and unsettling part of my family's history. It also reinforces how thoroughly internal narratives are developed to justify actions that may otherwise be against a person's moral code. Further, it reminds me that I can sit here clearheaded and accurately argue that I wouldn't support these companies or their choices - but, then, no one has ever said to me hundreds of thousands are dying in this war. What are you willing to do to stop it?
As a (former) lawyer, I know that magistrate decisions do not necessarily carry the weight of a typical federal judge. And even a district court decision would not be binding on any other district court. Until an appellate court weighs in on this, it seems that the issue is very much up for grabs.

I would welcome the more nuanced view of a litigator — I was a transactional lawyer and am just remembering my law school lessons about precedential authority.

The conflation of Google using information collected about you in aggregate to provide advertising services and man-in-the-middle attacks on clients is dishonest, disingenuous, and at this point downright malicious. Stop.
Developers often wonder why people use iSeries (AS/400) machines. Well, the software is long lived and keeps working. The whole IoT is not going to go forward when the software infrastructure is sand as opposed to stone. I get the feeling if this stuff keeps up, it would be wise for some infrastructure company (e.g. Honeywell) to sponsor an OS specifically for infrastructure with some version of a remote desktop to talk to it. Obviously, web browsers are the wrong way to control long lived devices.
Of course my office pushes a root certificate to all the devices and Skype for Business breaks unless you’ve trusted that certificate to handle SSL traffic.
Bayesian Rule Lists: Building Interpretable Classifiers with Scikit-Learn
I don't think its right to say they add no value. They definitely don't add value anywhere near what they charge (clearly based on their profit margins) but they do provide a service (albeit often minor). They coordinate reviewers (who they don't compensate), certain journals (Nature and Science in my experience) provide typesetting and editorial service beyond just basic copyediting, they provide a website to download the content.

I'm in no way saying these services couldn't easily be replicated at a much lower/negligible cost but they do provide a service.
I think you're putting too much thought into it. It's very simple: .dev is a massively easy to monetize TLD, it was guaranteed to get multiple companies trying to buy it, and when they had multiple offers, they got auctioned.

I think .dev was just too much money for ICANN to say no.

Of course, it looks like ICANN may have gotten screwed, because Amazon and Google appear to have privately arranged to figure out who was going for which TLDs: https://icannwiki.org/.dev
> Yes, there are always alternative jobs.

We have no proof of this, and the "gig economy" suggests quite strongly to the contrary.

Given that the "gig economy" generally represents jobs of last resort, what happens when we automate those away?
Tools that fail to provide a stable scripting interface tend to be ditched early and hard by sysadmins.

Having spent the last few years in a hybrid role ranging from security practitioner, to curriculum designer, and educator, I'd say that cybersecurity has the luxury of being both a challenging and enjoyable career field.

As far as 'good career choice', I can't accurately respond to that without knowing what a good career looks like for you. That being said, if we use # of openings + starting salary as metrics... it does look like a promising career. CSOOnline predict 3.5 million unfilled jobs in cyber by 2021
(https://www.csoonline.com/article/3200024/security/cybersecu...).

I'd recommend taking a look at https://www.cyberdegrees.org to figure out what roles interest you and the experience / certifications that will help you get there. Additionally, if you are looking for materials to read/learn/practice hands-on activities in security, I'll share the (constantly growing) list I've curated: https://www.exeltek.net/accesscyber.

The chicken and egg problem with self-signed certs is not solved by Lets Encrypt. It's simply a matter of who do you trust.

I can publish my personal CA certificate and ask you to trust it. This is hardly different than how I prove myself to Lets Encrypt.
Let me see if I'm following his logic.

1) He thinks Bitcoin should be worth zero

2) People keep paying more than zero for Bitcoin

3) This discrepancy destroys the Efficient Market Hypothesis

4) If the EMH is bullshit then markets for other assets are bullshit since they also rely on the EMH

5) Therefore now the valuation of other assets is also bullshit

6) Regulators should curtail trading in Bitcoin futures since it shows the EMH is bullshit and that undermines all markets

Brilliant analysis.
BTC/D.El.Ed. First Semester Math Paper|| Learning Time
Doubtful, you often have very little space to work with and have to get your point across succinctly. You don't have space to summarize the field to get a lay person up to speed adequately to understand the findings of the paper. Some journals, like PNAS, now require a paragraph describing the significance of the work in addition to an abstract that summarizes the work. The significance paragraph is supposed to be aimed towards understandability by a broader audience.

This is surprisingly subtle as a user interaction. Imagine the first time the user asks for "pork", Alexa asks follow up questions - "what cut", "how much", etc. There is a whole taxonomy!

The next time, the user has learnt the flow and starts walking down the taxonomy path for pork by asking for "pork"- or so the user thinks! Alexa just immediately dispatches the same cut the user bought three weeks ago. User never trusts Alexa again.
Some plywood is amazing. Most is crap. Generally the stuff you buy at home depot for $25/sheet is crap.

And people tend to confuse plywood with OSB, MDO, MDF, etc.

And while marine plywood (BS-1088) is great stuff, and fir marine plywood is also pretty nice stuff, it's not magic. BS-1088 is will rot in a morning dew and fir checks horribly. You have to protect it carefully and keep it protected.
Nature almost certainly didn’t round down that number, as a higher figure suits them better, but I do believe that they have significant costs. Reason? For every published article, Nature rejects about 12 (https://www.nature.com/nature/for-authors/editorial-criteria...).

That page also says ”On submission, the manuscript is assigned to an editor covering the subject area, who seeks informal advice from scientific advisors and editorial colleagues, and who makes this initial decision”

⇒ multiple persons, some of them employed by Nature, read each paper. Nature’s editors are highly educated (https://www.nature.com/nature/about/editors/), so their time won’t be cheap.

That can add up. For example, _if_ it costs a manweek to decide whether to do peer review on a single paper, finding that one accepted paper out and would be a quarter of a man year of work. I guess the actual effort is lower, but still significant. People have to read those papers, and that takes time.

And that is just step 1. Peer reviewers likely work for free, but managing volunteers costs money, too.

Designing a VUI – Voice User Interface
How is this controversial?

I think it can be summed up in one old but very relevant-in-our-times quote: "Those who give up freedom for security deserve neither."

At first, the idea that something is being done "for your safety and security" sounds good, but like all utopian goals, it has deeper connotations that are truly dystopian.

As mentioned in another of the comments here, this is yet another instance of companies using the "more secure" argument to gain control over the masses and ostracise anything they don't like. They're harnessing fear and exploiting it to their advantage.

To give an analogy in the real world, we don't lock ourselves in bulletproof cages and expend great efforts in hiding from others (for the most part), and I'm sure if your car's GPS indicated locations with high crime rates as "not safe" and prevented you from going there, there would be much outrage. We shouldn't let companies and (and try very hard, unfortunately not always succeeding for) governments dictate every detail of how we should live our lives offline, and the same should apply online.

There's a very long tail of sites, many sadly disappearing from Google[1], of old yet extremely useful information, which are probably going to stay HTTP for the forseeable future. I made a comment about this in a previous "HTTP/S debate" article:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14751540

Fortunately the only good thing that may come of this is that people will just start completely ignoring "not secure".

And I have JS off by default and whitelisted on a very small number of sites, if you were wondering...

> If you're forced to follow rules, e.g. can't set prices

But you're not forced to set prices. It's just you won't be hired if your price is too high.

Is a grocery forced to set a particular price, if people won't buy the product at a lower price because a competitor has it?

If I say "I'll buy rice from you for $10", am I forcing the other guy to sell at $10? He can set whatever price he likes. I just won't buy it. Maybe someone else will.
True, yet they do have intakes, and would be even easier to foul than rotors.
There are villains in this. They're the people who exploit, who maximize profits on the backs of the poor instead of treating their employees like human beings and trying to not grind them into powder.

Maybe capitalism has problems and it's not just the "gig economy"? This is creeping towards an epiphany--maybe choosing to participate in capitalism at a high level rather than mitigate its excesses makes you complicit? Maybe you own what you do and when what you do hurts people, you own that harm and that hurt?

Yes, this does characterize many HN-sanctioned heroes. Too bad. Maybe they should instead be decent.

Nobody forced these companies to exist. If you can't do business without bloodying the poor who are your "human resources," maybe you shouldn't do business.
Minimum wage is the acknowledgement that supply/demand is not sufficient for wage control. Your argument seems more like an argument against minimum wage in general.
Stop ... startup idea is dead. We all know tech now. Its just a small business on the internet. There is no more 10x stuff. You build an app, market and sell its just like old business but with an internet focus.

Startup grad school? Get an mba and get a real education dont half ass it if you are serious.

Im not saying that this is a waste of time. Im saying there are more robust avenues and you graduation in business is making profit not just networking for a few months.
