I grew up in a family with a lot of guns around. As an adult, I've never felt the need to waste my money on them. For me it's just another thing I have no real need or want for, that would require occasional maintenance, and occasional training to stay proficient. I have enough stuff to clean and enough stuff to learn that interests me a lot more.

My issue with many members of my family is that they are sloppy. They do not treat the weapons as the instruments of war that they are. Having a shotgun, loaded and propped in a corner is not good stewardship, especially when entertaining visitors. Having an unlocked gun cabinet is not good stewardship. Tossing loaded rifles in the back of a pickup with the barrels pointing backward towards the tailgate and towards people who do not know the rifles are loaded when they unloaded the truck, not good stewardship. Blasé attitudes abound and as far as I can tell, blasé attitudes towards gun ownership increases the more the owner reveres the second amendment or protecting the constitution or whatever.

Worship at the gun alter if it suits your interests or if you have a legitimate need as the author seems to. Be a good steward of the responsibility that gun ownership entails.
Yep, fully OO, C++14 shaders and all the respective libraries for textures, fonts, scene definitions,....

Vulkan is the typical Khronos API, pure C, has the extension dance to find out what is available, just knows about pixels and for everything else everyone needs to go fishing for libraries.
Did you take a look at that google executive Forrest Hayes who died from heroin OD injected by a sugar baby from seeking arrangement? I think that's a huge story in itself. The Bay Area has created a lot of wealth, a substantial amount given to individuals who display characteristics of introverted, libertarian, extreme individuality, which along with high drug use has resulted in a burgeoning sex for money trade. In my extremely limited and potentially erroneous pov, this has indirectly further increased drug usage for both the women and men. There are a lot of negative externalities from Silicon Valley and multiple threads to pull on but the extremes of everything from politics to high costs of home ownership has resulted in some quite depressing realities.
The same could be said of the US (as of 2014, at least)! https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-07-30/chicago
I feel like I see taxis do a better job of getting out of the lane of traffic than a lot of uber/lyft drivers. Ride share drivers will stop and throw on the blinkers absolutely anywhere. Taxis seem to at least use corners and pickup zones for loading and unloading around here (Seattle).
I'm not active on Quora, but it's a place for discussions about a topic. I'm surprised to hear they see a sealioning problem.

Twitter is where I'm more used to seeing sealioning, where someone will make a comment about something and a bunch of strangers (sometimes coordinated elsewhere) show up demanding a debate about it.
It could be as simple as this guy's -> http://ananthakumaran.in/resume.html
I'm sure companies, like the one in the article, will pay substantially more for them.
Related - we seem to have passed peak stuff
- “Britons, too, have reached Peak Stuff, having reduced the annual use of material from 15.1 metric tons per person in 2001 to 10.3 metric tons in 2013.” It's all quite good for the environment and the like.
And what happens when anything of that changes in scope? You gonna resend the consent form to each and every past user?

Of corse not. What will happen instead is that behind a consent box a lengthy disclaimer will ask consent for every piece of information and blanket every length of scope, triggering a cascade across providers and contractors.
Ask HN: Is running on AWS a business liability for your SaaS?
Walmart and Macy's reportedly tell their suppliers to move off AWS. Is this something you encountered as a SaaS business? What did you do?
I agree somewhat, but it's not all driver's fault.

As a car driver, I don't feel entitled to the whole road, but I also don't shed too many tears for the idiots who lane split and ride like maniacs - ironically, maniacs who appear to feel entitled to the whole road.

I'm a cyclist most days, so I'm acutely aware of how oblivious and dangerous car drivers can be... so it seems crazy to me that most motorcyclists would choose to buzz between them unpredictably at high speed, instead of riding in a safer fashion.
Even if this is true (which it might well not be--VC investment money for a startup usually goes to build infrastructure, not to enable under-cost pricing; the former increases your runway while the latter decreases it), it's only for the short term; if Uber and Lyft don't start operating at a profit at some point in the near future, the VC investment will be gone and they will have a hard time getting more. Public transportation, by contrast, has been subsidized for decades, because it doesn't have to answer to market forces, only political ones.
I recently finished watching the anime "Legend of Galactic Heroes".

In an early episode, a character summons a roaming [empty] driverless hover-car taxi [hailed with a transmitting credit-card-sized hailing device no less] to help an injured compatriot on his way. Watching the scene was surreal; when it first aired no doubt it was totally SF, but now it's actually within the grasp of reality.

The entire vehicle's interior was, basically, Limo seating. No room for any driver at all. The car lands, they get in and close the doors, and the car takes off all 5th Element but driverless to their destination -- one character laid out injured, the other consoling and helping whilst sitting upright.

I just have to believe that interior configurations are going to change similar to this.
And then there's the problem that you can't hardly convince the maintainer that something is an issue unless they have the issue on their OS and configuration.
“Even” NYC? I know New Yorkers love to complain about the MTA, but don’t take it too seriously. New York’s subway is extraordinary. It has no match in the U.S. (by a long shot) and is still very, very big by world standards.

The next time a New Yorker feels like complaining that they had to wait 20 whole minutes for a 7 train in far out Queens, they might do well to remember that most cities in the world wouldn’t have a station there at all.

Lots of fun stuff here: https://www.citymetric.com/transport/what-largest-metro-syst...
But Cellebrite apparently makes millions off of its service, so the economic incentives are still on their side.
This isn’t really true. You take out a bond because you think you can make more ROI than the interest rate. Utilities in particular take out bonds to build power plants and hope to generate more profit than the cost of interest. The operate on long time scales (10 years or more) and depend on predictable demand to make their model work.
I agree. It feels impossible to find a cryptocurrency forum that's not filled with shills.

Someone should train an AI to detect shilling and use it in the comment ranking algorithm of a forum. Of course they'd probably release a whitepaper and do an ICO.
Ring has some existing cash flow through their video monitoring business.

There’s also some premium to be had for tight integration options - current Ring doorbell owners would likely opt for a Ring indoor camera (if one existed) versus competitor’s, just to avoid the hassle of dealing with two apps and paying for two subscription plans.
Ask your chat provider if he is GDPR compliant, he will provide you the confirmations that you need to add to your page. Regarding google analytics, you are risking getting banned if you feed it with personal data (including ip).

https://gdpr.report/news/2018/02/01/gdpr-google-analytics-2/

If I were you, I would add my own chat (there is bunch of them on github) and use piwik instead of google analytics.

(By the rule of the thumb, for each 3rd party provider, ask them about gdpr compliancy and purge all the data you are not getting user consent - GDPR is retroactive)
I am not anti-gun, but this argument tends to trigger me. What "level of destructive power" do you really need to feed your family? Not much. A single-shot rifle would suffice.

I have neighbors who own dozens of guns. Some of them hunt. They don't hunt with the Gatling guns or automatic shotguns or any of the really impressive stuff. And yes, there are some pretty impressive guns in my neighborhood. But when they hunt, they break out a .308 or .30-06 or even a little .270. Bolt-action. Their hunting rifles carry 5 shells.

So let me offer a different answer. With what level of destructive power should George Washington have been trusted? Or Sam Houston? Is a cannon too much? With what level of destructive power should anti-Assad Syrian rebels be trusted? Or Ukrainians fighting a Russian incursion? Are shoulder-launched surface-to-air missiles a little overkill? If you lived on the Estonian border, what might you be willing to own in partnership with some like-minded neighbors? If you lived in a remote mountainous region and were surrounded one day by "officials" who shot your domestic animals, your wife, and your house without explanation, what level of destructive power would you wish to possess? Would it make a difference if that mountain was located in Idaho? Or Yugoslavia?

You trust individuals with F-22s and tanks. You trust BLM employees with sniper gear. BLM!!? You trust individuals with bombers and nuclear submarines and nuclear warheads. You may justify this as not trusting individuals, but those things are literally in the hands of individuals.

This month a SWAT team was called out against a local police officer. Both sides were trusted with major fire power including grenades and assassin robots, and with major defensive gear. If it takes a SWAT team to deal with a cop having a bad day, what recourse are the neighbors allowed?
Long story short. It's using spanner tech under the hood.

"And for you database aficionados out there, we should point out that our multi-region database offers strong consistency (just like Cloud Spanner!),"
I'd forgotten that one. Thank you.
Vulkan support on Android is basically constrained to a few Nougat and Oreo devices.

And even then, it is only required on those that support VR.

Metal is supported on across all iOS devices still getting updates.
>The point, instead, is that in a world full of assault rifles and high capacity magazines and bump stocks, more of these types of things will happen and they will be worse when they do.

We can presumably agree that there's more legal civilian-owned firearms in the US than ever before, yet the national homicide rate has steadily decreased since the 90s https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-07-30/chicago Bump stocks were first sold in 2010, yet the homicide rate has still slowly declined since then. How does any of this match up with your belief that more firearms owned by civilians, higher capacity magazines available for civilian use, and even the invention and sale of lesser-known (until recently) novelty firearm accessories such as bump stocks lead to increased violent firearm crime?
I miss Byte. I’m a second-gen programmer and in the late 80s and 90s my dad had a subscription to Byte and a few UK computing trade papers. I’d read it cover to cover even if I didn’t really understand most of the contents, but Jerry’s column always stood out against the rest. He seemed to be a natural communicator.
Paris’s metro is a great example of an efficient public transit system. It’s faster, easier, and cheaper than other competing methods.

In the US, we’ve not made the proper investment into said infrastructure (profit and shortsightedness always get in the way), but that’s a problem with our instantiation, not the concept of public transportation.

I agree that for many situations, it’s not practical or appropriate, but in cases where it can be, we should encourage and make it easier to do.
You will need to have a lead regulator (or I suppose a Privacy Shield listing while that is still legal) if you are doing significant business with EU data subjects’ personal data. See recital 80 and article 31 of the GDPR.

Both of those are highly representative of the demographic that want to discuss such things on reddit. Others are often even moderated against from some of what I've seen and thus discouraged from discussion. I don't know about that specific sub-reddit, but it certainly happens in some. It's an important echo chamber for exuberant hype so people have a vested interest in protecting that in the mostly unregulated market.
They push their monitoring plans pretty hard right after the user is done with the installation https://shop.ring.com/pages/protect-plans so it’s possible they’re more of a monitoring-service-by-subscription business than hardware business at this point.

Say Hello to Robin, SF's Newest Robot Barista
Here's how I learned it. I downloaded it, installed it, ran it. Then ran the built-in tutorial and worked my way through it slowly. I then started using it for every day editing. I then created my own cheat sheet (in Emacs) based on commands I needed immediately. As I needed to do more things I extended the cheat sheet. I worked through online tutorials and read Stack overflow to figure out how to build out my .emacs file with the options I needed. Been using for more than ten years now and still learning!
Sounds like some bizarre William Gibson novel, but then most things do nowadays.
Amazon entered our business (B2B) not too long ago. Not yet in our country, but we were watching closely. They tried to go very large from the very beginning while we had started from zero 8 years ago and still are a small company.

We are still here, doing well and growing. Amazon just recently announced the shutdown of their service.

Steady yet healthy growth and happy customers won‘t let them kill you overnight.
You're paying $0.01 to give your GB to Amazon and $0.24 to make it impossible for Amazon to give it to anyone else. If you don't care about Amazon giving your data to anyone else, then you don't have to pay the premium for Tarsnap.

There are plenty of data sets for which that is reasonable. There are plenty of data sets, perhaps not at your shop, where $0.24 laughs in the general direction of the value of a gigabyte. I previously used Tarsnap at a HIPAA-regulated SaaS app. The fines for unplanned disclosure are measured per-record not per gigabyte; my rough guesstimate on proration is $12 million / GB but what's an order of magnitude or three between friends.
The US air traffic control system is setup as a series of highways in the sky. You generally can't just fly in whatever direction you want (with the exception of general aviation).

> This conflict over IOTA has been unfolding for a long time and the guys on that subreddit defend it fanatically, accusing DCI of "FUD"ing IOTA

It's not just IOTA. It's more or less any of the top 10 / 20 (by MarketCap) Crypto-currencies on the respective sub-reddits. It's especially bad on r/Ripple where anything critical of Ripple / XRP is instantly deleted by the mods in the name of F.U.D (Fear, Uncertainity, Doubt), and even a small +ve news is posted several times in a day, even trials of Ripple that doesn't even use XRP for the transactions.

And then there was this self-proclaimed shill who described in great detail how he made tons of money shilling various coins on reddit. https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/7xkm0z/i_wa...

From what I've observed on r/Cryptocurrency and related coin subs on reddit over the past month or two, Reddit is being carefully manipulated by whales and scam coin creators to attract bag holders and manipulate the markets for a quick profit. And many of the mods engage in circle-jerk postings, maybe they are in on it too. Who knows.
Correct me if I’m wrong but this wouldn’t help? “Unlocking” in the context of the FBI and iPhones always seems to be based around making it possible to brute force a device in their posession, which also means strong passphrases will remain secure. This is an incredibly hostile environment to security, the fact that Apple make it as hard as they do is quite impressive.
Two Approaches to Design an Event Sponsorship Package – NVOLV
Encrypt the data element using a nonce, encrypt the nonce using a public key whose private key will be purged from your HSM/SCD/key management system on a scheduled basis. You will need to retain metadata about the key ID too.

Don’t leak private keys, so you should generally use a decryption service if you need access to the data record. Handy to prove access too!

That works and survives fairly intense audits at least in my experience.
I am a researcher in cryptography who just read the full email transcript posted at [1]. I found Ethan and Neha's email responses to be patient and sincere.

In contrast, the IOTA team members Sergey and David have no idea what they are talking about. The IOTA constructions were broken, and instead of understanding that, they made bogus points and tried to attack the four DCI researchers in various ways.

In that context, I think Green's tweet represented a bit of frustration at the way public rhetoric is being misused.

> This doesn't count the energy to run each of them

Or to manufacture or to dispose of them.
That’s an extreme oversimplification.

The law applies to business entities so it will go and cover every piece of infrastructure they run retroactively.

Imagine having a dev with contributions and commits in a dozen projects calling github to exercise his newfound right of removing all personal identifiable information from the system.

Basically the same, a nice API to do accelerated 2D rendering, audio, file and io access in a portable way.

The API changed a bit with 2.0 release, the biggest change was support for multiple rendering windows.

We were just talking about this at a lock picking meetup (lots programmers there too). The consensus seemed to be that if it has all the security problems of IoT plus all the security problems of doors... that would be a lot of fun for us.
u/subway answered the GPG portion in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16480945

As for the PIV portion: Unfortunately, PIV will not work either. Right now, OpenSSH’s ssh-agent doesn’t have the ability to handle EDSA keys when using PKCS#11 (which is how the agent communicates with the “card”.

The enhancement request is at https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2474

Unfortunately, although people have been maintaining patches, there’s been no official action (that I know of) on this.
Specifically, many Israli tech people (and especially those in defense) seem to be “graduates” of the IDF’s 8200 SIGINT unit, which has close relationships with VCs in both Israel and the US.
That happens, but it doesn't always happen. Some groups persevere while others succumb to the abuse. Usenet is still so huge that it's really not fair to write it off completely.

Usenet, much like SMTP (but arguably unlike XMPP) built enough momentum before the abuse exploded that there's no reason it can't continue in perpetuity, even if individual groups might come and go. But unlike SMTP it's much more at risk of collapse if good people walk away unnecessarily.

> No amount of pressure can prevent a black hole from forming

And yet suns with far more mass than is needed to make a black hole exist. Because simple heat pressure keeps the black hole from forming.

Remember that the black hole doesn't just suddenly appear - to have enormous gravity the density must go up. If you prevent that from ever happening you can stop the black hole from ever starting in the first place.

You are talking assuming the black hole is already there, and saying quark degeneracy can't resist that, but you forget the black hole has to form first.

> No, it doesn't. It just means that light signals from very near the horizon take a long time to get out.

It also means mass takes a long (infinite) time to get in. So the black hole may never form.

Hugo is good, but you will need some technical expertise to customize it, unless you use a stock theme/template.

GitHub pages is also a great way to get started quickly - Markdown is easy to learn and there are several cheat sheets out there.

What I did in the end is created my own very simple site generator (calling it that is probably being over generous) - it lacks many features of a full-blown generator like Hugo, but it suits me down to the ground. I then host (for free) on GitHub and publish also to neocities.org (for free). See my HN profile for link to website - from there you can pick up the source code if you're interested.

As far as I Know there is no patreon/Kickstarter for India.

I suspect this is likely due to banking rules, as well as rules for remittance of foreign currency being difficult.

But this is an educated guess on my part.

The other options could be that this is India and some totally unexpected effect has already taken over the market and I haven't recognized it. Maybe Kitty parties (A type of savings club)
Asking for proof or data: denying someone's lived experience.
Having a debate: sealioning.
Providing evidence: mansplaining.

Yes I know, each of these terms has a well defined meaning. But that's not how they're used in practice. They are used in games of strategic equivocation.

A better read is this post, which frames it as a conflict between people who communicate to share information versus people who are seeking emotional harmony and who interpret disagreement as one-upmanship. One person offers the gift of information, the other interprets it as a slight.

Note: I'll refer to DTL as blockchain for ease of understanding
Also note: I don't think all of these ledgers need to be validated distributedly in order to have the same kind of value

A lot of blockchain enthusiasts say the same thing about companies adopting the blockchain in an 'unched' way.

I'd say blockchains are more akin to AR/VR or AI in that they absolutely are valuable and they undoubtedly are the future, but the technology isn't there.
The difference with blockchains is that, rather than the technology not being there, it's simply the innovation that isn't.

There is clearly a market ready and willing for adoption, and there always will be. That's just the power of 'cryptoeconomic incentive'.
