Reboot. Around the same time-frame we gathered the flag for a deployment (fleet admiral) and I was responsible for UNIX systems on the ship. Not long after coming aboard the command came down to reboot all of the systems at midnight, nightly (yes, only the UNIX systems). Being that "But Mister.." never really gets you too far in the military I just rode it iterating through any possible reason for the madness, nightly. I could never come up with a good one. Until now. (ok, perhaps not a "good" reason but crazy enough to count.)

It now makes much more sense to me that a (terrible) mishap had occurred and possible prevention was only a reboot away. I can see how being exposed to that context at upper levels could easily cause one to latch onto any perceived preventative measures.

I also once saw a short ntp time step across multiple clusters (yeh, simultaneously) shut down half of a wafer factory.

Time is important.. but rebooting all your systems at midnight probably will not help you to control it. This especially if there are large, hot, fast objects flying around in the night sky and definitely, really, don't do ALL of them at the same time every day .. especially during, you know, battle. /pro-tip
> If anything, the fact that it's decades old and used in every major software project is a testament to its effectiveness, not a drawback.

Part of the reason is because people see the superficial issues (like the discussion regarding spaces) before they see the value of years (or decades) of work. It doesn't help that when folks bring this up many times you get "you're holding it wrong" type responses.

I sympathise with both sides of the argument. I don't know the solution but it's unfortunate seeing folks reinventing the wheel and struggling with problems solved in the past.
I believe playlists don't count as library (please correct me if I'm wrong) - so you can effectively surpass the 10,000 as a limit by adding songs to playlists instead of the library.

I've actually changed my model primarily around playlists and don't actually use the library feature of spotify hardly at all.
Way easier to pay them like $0.15/hour in prison than the federally-mandated minimum wage. (That number might be hyperbole, but prison wages, if they even exist where you are, are abysmally, illegally low. I believe some of them are indeed sub-dollar.)
Your answer makes sense, but I believe I do have a 3.0-compliant token. It's Gnuk tip of tree running on some STM32-based piece of dryer lint. According to Gnuk's README, it does support OpenPGP Card 3.0 (though the documentation is inconsistent about that). So I'm beginning to suspect it's the version of GnuPG that I have, but I don't think it's that out of date.

When a user opens a channel it has to lock up some BTC. That is called channel capacity because for payments to be routed through that channel (even other people's payments) that channel at least needs to have the same or more amount of BTC available. If you want to route a bigger payment you need to find a channel with more capacity.
I thought this was a feature already?

True, but the bulk of users seem to be using free versions, and thus product design follows whatever crazy motivations Google has.

Honestly, there's not much you can do if you feel like your company is not acknowledging work that you believe is a valuable use of your clock time.

Information theoretic 'death' implies actual death (assuming I understand your 'death' metaphor in 'information theoretic death' ), but that's not the same as being it.

No, you've just removed the linguistic cues for introducing a metaphor, while still making as heavy use of metaphor as ever.
I get your point, but why reuse the Hangouts brand for a completely different product while deprecating the old one?

And I definitely would take their ecosystem of 3 years ago over today. Hangouts was the main chat app and it integrated my SMS and Google Voice pretty nicely at the time. Also, I'd like to go back even further and get back XMPP federation.

Now, I have the chat platform that I still use (consumer Hangouts), a few that noone uses (Allo & Duo), and some new ones that noone uses.

This pivoting is grating not great.

Ask HN: Good certs to get as a job seeker?
Hey Hacker News,

I've been applying to jobs for the last three months and have not received an interview. I asked around and was told it might be because I do not have enough experience. However, the recent TripleByte thread had a good comment that I want to point out:

> In all other professional industries there are means to validate a candidate's competency before they are allowed to interview for a position: licensing, required internships, legal certifications/authorizations, authorized relationships, and so forth.

> Technology doesn't have this. The big difference is that in those other professions they are using the interview to actually interview the candidate, as in the person. In software and technology the entire interview is used to gauge basic competency and even then the trust relationship is inherently broken.

Source: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16487377

So HN, what are some certs that can boost the chances of making a tech job candidate appear more trustworthy?
Could you link the paper? Reading a future prediction/expectation with such accuracy should be interesting.
Perhaps you could encrypt your logs after a predefined “live data” period passes. Each log line’s key would be derived from a key that is itself derived from the data subject’s unique identifier. If that subject invokes their “right to be forgotten” then the subject’s key is destroyed, rendering all thus-encrypted log lines irretrievable. This does mean analysis of “cold logs” would first require a potentially burdensome decryption process — but it would be possible, and the resulting logs would only contain data relating to permitted data subjects.
That must be why he was left out of the movies.

But just because you don't have to work doesn't mean you can't work.

If you have financial independence, you have the choice to work or not, and if you do work, to do whatever work you find most meaningful.

Without financial independence, you have no choice but to work, and for the vast majority of people without financial independence there isn't much choice of what kind of work to do either.

Ranking programming languages by GitHub users
What's actually happening right now, is the US and others (eg South Korea, Japan, some countries in Europe) are aggressively begining to redistribute their capital allocations to other nations (eg Mexico), including South East Asian competitors to China (eg Vietnam).

Samsung for example is making the majority of their phones in Vietnam now.

US imports from Vietnam have gone from nothing to $50+ billion per year in 20 years. A 100 fold increase. It's equivalent to 1/4 of their entire economy and it's almost entirely a deficit. We're going to build large regional competitors to China for strategic purposes. Conveniently, they can also buy up US debt with all of those dollars we're pouring into their economy.

Some of this is because China's manufacturing costs have climbed so much, some of it is intentional strategic emphasis (as the TPP was / is meant to be). The US very clearly has shifted its political interest in Vietnam for example.

It’s not an either/or. Great universities can have both teaching focused faculty and research focused faculty. Also the vast majority of undergraduates are taking basic fundamentals courses - not courses that involve “leading edge” research. University or college this thread is about the crunch teaching undergraduates, not research focused grad students.

Also what you will find the is in research focused universities, the "leading edge" researchers you cite teach very few classes. Many of them teach no classes or one or two a year. Hence the problem that this thread began with regarding load. The fact is these classes are being taught by graduate students or adjuncts when the student population would be better served by full time teaching-focused faculty.

Give users reasons to engage with the website directly rather than always gated through someone else's experience?

That doesn't necessarily mean "email newsletter business", it could be any of the number of ways businesses have tried to convert first impressions into continued engagement. The referral platform shouldn't particularly matter, really. Today's complaints about Facebook-driven traffic drying up are last century's complaints about Yellow Pages-driven phone calls drying up. How are you handling people after they arrived/called? What other avenues for referrals have you explored? There's a lot of business advice that I don't think has largely changed there anywhere near as much as the technology medium has.
Over time, it is only evolutionarily useful things that are real. Are the Shakers "real" today? Are they as real as, say, Boston?
I don't think the end user needs to know anything about capacities or other technical details the same way a user doesn't need to know their internet speed.

The end user experience will be having a hot wallet in your computer/phone or online service like coinbase that will handle all the routing, channel setup, etc for you. Like when you use bittorrent you don't need to manually connect to peers, the bittorrent client handles that for you.

Not sure how to feel about that. Given that bitcoin is a strictly negative-sum game now, all that money came from greater fools in the end (they just don't know it yet). It's somewhat Robin Hood-esque (except that a majority of bag holders will be poor people duped into buying btc) and the morality of it is… complicated.

I've been a Perl programmer once, and I assure you given a pile of legacy Perl code, written in a good old style with good old "everything accesses everything", no comments and clever use of tricky Perl constructs, most people would be inclined to yell for help. It's not specifically Perl's fault, but a constellation of Perl being at the top of its popularity when thinking about who will support it 20 years later didn't exactly enter the mindset of most programmers.

I worked at a small MLM. Saw the actual numbers. The Company took 80% of the revenue. There's some BS about how you're only supposed to steal 42% or something maybe that's the payout, it was a while back.

Interesting short term job. GTFO as soon as I saw the real numbers.
The message you're responding to is literaly saying that you need to play the politics game in small startups as well. Perhaps even more so since you don't have clearly defined process of goals that lead to promotions and pay raises.

Wait... doesn't that make typosquatting even more of a danger? People get used to typing "npx <command>", they mistype the command once in a while, an attacker uploads packages named after the most likely typos, and done - the attacker wins.

I question the wisdom of that shortcut.

Large companies routinely screw over small ones.

Perpetual sounds like another way of saying unlimited. Every story I have ever read involving an unlimited contract involved bleeding the company that agreed to provide unlimited service.

People who bought unlimited airline flights for life basically live on airplanes. They soak the airlines for all they can get.

I have seen stories of small shops that died largely due to agreeing to give unlimited service to a single client for a fixed fee.

They are asking you to enter a contract where they pay you one time and then service them forever. If that doesn't sound like a deal with the devil, maybe read up on what a bad deal slavery typically is.
The idea that a “common people” with a shared history and culture should form a political unit is quite new.

Prior to the French Revolution, the idea was that political power devolved from the top (usually by divine right) and whatever people happened to live within the reach of the ruler should do what they were told, if they knew what was good for them.

The boundaries of the state would shift along with the power and influence and military success of the ruler. The modern idea that some people might object to living under one ruler (and thus one state) rather than other, based on some idea of shared history, would have been a strange idea to those used to living in autocratic societies.

Nationalism has been so successful at adhering the support of the masses to the establishment that few today even think to question it.

#1 is not important. Everything costs money, including appeals and cleanups when long-term corruption is uncovered. Adding 1% or 0.1% for integrity testing is trivially justifiable.

#2 and #3 are saying the same thing: The powers that be know the system is broken, and don't want to fix it, and therefore want to suppress evidence that shows the brokenness.
I used Spotify until I realized that it was suggesting to me the exact same songs that my friends were listening too. So if I wanted to branch out and try something new, it became a chore. Also, I do enjoy the occasional 1970s rock song, which Spotify has been lacking in.

With Apple Music and human curators, I can actually find new music better. And I can get my rock fix when I need it.
It will get lower still, likely into the negatives, if you agree to charging them once and servicing them forever.

It may also mean that they’ve expanded the user base in countries that have lower purchasing power than western europe, and thus probably lower pricing. That’s surely a good thing?
I think the same could be said of any bitcoin node.
This is the big reason why I switched to Apple Music. Spotify has an amazing UI/UX, but it doesn't change the fact that I don't want to listen to the same stuff each week. I have FM radio for that.
The software guys likely never read the field manuals. I know I never did. I read the specs and requirements documents, which are different things than what operators receive. The program office is responsible for maintaining synchronicity between the two with regards to performance parameters (reqs and specs) and performance expectations (manuals). The test office should’ve been familiar with both sides as well.
Mining rights, proper registration and certification of the gold nugget, etc., etc. It’s fairly common in the financial industry to check where funds come from (“know your customer”). It’s done to prevent money laundering and make illicit activity harder.
We carved our own knives out of bars of "state soap" .
I can see that now and completely agree, but back then - much like the author of the original post, I was eating up the whole idea of being more than just an employee, of all of us being in it for a larger goal.

In fact, it took me another couple of years, and witnessing that the grass is no greener in the startup world, to finally come to this conclusion.

Even though I have come to terms with this, I have not really been able to completely adapt yet. Which is why, again much like the author, I have currently landed on working for myself. I do miss working on more ambitious projects with bigger teams, that a job like that enables, but for now, I have no interest in playing the game to achieve my career goals.
> See, that requires trusting that all CAs actually respect the CAA records. AFAIK, CAA records aren't validated by end-user client software during SSL negotiation.

I think the CAB rules require respecting CAA records? If a CA gets caught on that, they'll have some amount of hell to pay.

Client software can't go back in time to verify what the CAA records were at the time the certificate was issued. CAA records are not intended as a means to revoke previously issued certificates, only an indication of which CAs are _currently_ allowed to issue new certificates.

That said, I agree with you, but the general consensus doesn't seem to, that we de facto trust registries/registrars as stewards of domain ownership, so we may as well de jure make them CAs, since they already have an account relationship.
I think open sourcing the code give opportunities to others to learn from the code and create own alternatives.

Wasn't my experience. Of course, YMMV.

> since you don't have clearly defined process of goals that lead to promotions and pay raises.

Looks like Google does have defined process. Did it help the OP? Doesn't seem so. Defined processes are good if they're defined with your goals in mind. If they are defined explicitly to prevent you from reaching your goals, they'd be only an impediment, and one that you'll fail to overcome, as "this is our defined process, we know it doesn't work in your particular case, but we can't start special-casing people, so you'll have to take one for the team here".
That context makes sense.

Well, not exactly. I don't have Netflix exactly because of that: not all major producers are on Netflix. That's the same as a major producer pulling something from Spotify.

There's no point if I'm still going to have to pirate half the stuff I watch or listen to, or pay twice for a subscription. (If you can subscribe in the first place, that is; last I heard one couldn't even watch game of thrones legally in the Netherlands if I wanted to.)

Well, and it also doesn't help that I've heard you need to unroot your android device (I will not be an unprivileged user on my own hardware) and enable DRM in firefox to watch Netflix. But the main reason is that every time I check, they don't have at around a third of what I would want to watch.
