I'm also fairly sure if you asked them whether they'd rather pay $189 to fly across the country in a jet that might be as much as 25 years old or $589 to fly in a jet that they could be assured was no more than 8 years old, the $189 ticket wins by a landslide.

I don't see any reason to think a similar price-sensitivity wouldn't apply to other forms of seat-rented transportation.
This is exactly my experience and an environment I avoid working in if at all possible.

Just ruthlessly drop QUIC packets that are over the flow control limits. It will adapt.

Playing games with TCP settings is fun I guess, but simple RED with ECN and drop work well with fewer bad side-effects.

Every Internet protocol expects packet drops on overload. What was that about being too clever?
This is so right.
Userbases can not be boiled down to some core attributes everybody shares.
Wouldn't people who are becoming ctos would already have enough experience to know that ?
I loved the article. I fell into a project management / tech lead role and while I love it I have failed at a LOT of things while working through it. I didn't have a mentor to what an effective Tech Lead which I feel like this article serves as. IMO the intro to the article makes up for the title and the content of it is amazing.

For example, I've pushed back on management about deadlines because developers hate them and it causes stress / stagnation. BUT the business needs them and I love how you talk to that in a way that I can effectively manage both up and down. Thank you very much for this. If I'd read it 4 months earlier I'd have missed some major (self inflicted) pain points.

Are they? For half the year I spend hours every Sunday on an irc channel full of football fans. That connection is important to me, since the level of discussion there is higher, (and more civilized, due to active moderation) than most forums.

Why all this sentiment now? Seems like all these articles are just chasing the financial headlines.
If the mother is an American, it's not complicated. There are other cases, but the "both parents are American citizens" case is pretty straightforward.

Those requirements boil down to this:

- One parent must be a citizen.

- That parent needs some connection to the US, measured by how much time they've spent living there.

- If the citizen parent is male, he must prove that the child is related to him.

- If the citizen parent is male, he must swear a binding legal oath to financially support the child.

The rest resolves these questions:

- How much residential connection to the US must citizen parents have, based on the couple's total Americanness? (more Americanness, less time)

- Can we just assume that married men are the fathers of their wives' children? (yes)

- What counts as being "in America"? (government service abroad counts)
I disagree with the number of employees making things drastically different. 1, 10, or 10,000, it doesn't matter as long as the leader has the fundamental organization skills need to control groups of people. It's easier to hide the lack of organization in smaller groups, but the end state will be the same regardless.

"Management of many is the same as management of few. It is a matter of organization."
You're absolutely correct here, saying "corrupt politicians" was lazy and means nothing.

Additionally, I agree there were failures at many levels regarding the promises made to the people of Illinois.

Honestly, I don't completely absolve the citizens of Illinois ( Of which I am one ). As the article states, these pension numbers NEVER added up and for some reason people kept buying into the "free golden ponies" narrative.
Actually, a bytecode to text decompiler is a very important part of the typical Smalltalk IDE. In Squeak or Pharo, for example, you give the virtual machine a binary file like "work.image" to start the system and it looks for text files "work.changes" and "version4.sources" so the code browser can show you the sources. If these extra files are missing it will complain, but will continue to work normally. If you pay attention you will notice that the sources have no comments and all local variables are called t2 or t5 - that is the decompiler subtly doing its job.
Because in the event of a database leak all those fragments can be assembled into a whole account.
According to discussions I have read. The LIDAR was disconnected as part of a test of "visual only" navigation. Why didn't they keep the LIDAR on for safety?
This is part of a larger implementation guide but I think some people will see value in this. We work with companies every day to build web and mobile experiences that connect back to Salesforce (a la Heroku).

Since it's getting more popular(easier) to build web and mobile apps connected back to enterprise systems, people should have a good understanding of what it actually costs to do so.

Also, you'll probably discover that Salesforce consultants charge much higher rates than you thought.

QUIC uses TLS, so it's pretty much the same situation as any other TLS connection.

Of course in a corporate environment you can trust the middlebox's CA on all the work machines. That's actually fine. What everyone seems to hate here is middleboxes that don't terminate connections and try to mess with them in other ways.

A model for a serious community-run platform?
I’m working as part of a team that has been building out a free-speech and privacy-focused social networking and video distribution platform (we were working on this before all this Facebook scandal stuff). We originally wanted to find some way to have the running platform itself become a community-owned, community-operated entity. But we ultimately chose not to go this route just yet, as it becomes much harder to guarantee privacy if anyone from the community can have access to the platform with all the user data on it. It seems this reality forces one to form an organization and have employees bound to certain contracts. We haven't found a solution to this problem, other than potentially a heavily encryption-focused IPFS-based service (which we also have done some research on). Overall, there don’t seem to be many models of community-run platforms operating on a serious level out there. Does anyone know of any novel solutions to this problem?

Here's a recent Reveal episode where they discuss how banks won't lend to black folks:

https://www.revealnews.org/article/for-people-of-color-banks...

Of course unequal lending and housing opportunities go back in time forever, with huge consequences for, e.g., the wealth that white vs. black families have been able to accumulate over time, since houses are most folks' biggest assets.

Here's a recent Scene on Radio episode where they discuss the long history of federal programs that benefit whites and exclude blacks, etc. Of course you should really listen to the rest of the series for context:

This is actually really interesting stuff to learn about, if you'd care to.
Distributed backup already exists and can possibly work.

But IIReadC you wanted to cache media on peers devices to allow them to see/listen to it.

That cannot work unless you trust your friends completely (or keep your friends under constant surveillance, and hardly even then) as once they see it on their screen they can photograph or record your media, if necessary using an external device (e.g. a camera) and store it or share it.

Also, once your friends has access to it that makes your friends a target for bad actors that might want to trick or coerce your friends into sharing.

Precisely. Why does Apple run an operation in Ireland instead of Illinois or California? It isn't the result of some sense of corporate generosity. It is pure fantasy to imagine capital will not flee the state when burdened with anticompetitive taxation.

Red bricks and other varieties are kiln fired, not unlike ceramics and glass.

Concrete cinder blocks are cured in a mold, as with all concrete.

Adobe is often sun-baked in desert climates, but it's not as practical in other climates.

Cobble stones are hewn from found or quarried rock. Not all rock can withstand all environments, based on frost action and other factors. Graveyards tend to regulate head stone selection for this reason.

So it all really depends on your brick selection, and what will work for where you are, and how much you want to spend.
When you talk about generations, it is probably better to be more specific and talk about "generations of unionized workers". Police, teachers and few others. Not unionized workers have nothing to do with that.
The problem wit this argument is that they ARE consenting users, they just don't care enough to know. From the facebook sign up page "By clicking Create Account, you agree to our Terms and that you have read our Data Policy..." On the data policy they say that your data is given to third parties. The problem is that common sense has been removed from our society. You DON'T need a PHD, as another poster said, you merely need common sense.
this is a great piece of advice... thanks mate :)
10 minutes? That sounds a lot. We usually have 1-2 minutes wait time for a changed ConfigMap to reach a running pod, or for a Deployment to roll over to a new ReplicaSet. (That's on k8s 1.4.)
Propaganda has nothing to do with accountability. It has to do with the fact that a state wants to influence a populace in a methodical, measurable way. That's it.

It can be full of falsehoods and come from shadowy sources, like most black propaganda, or it can come directly from the US government and be full of truth, like Voice of America.

BBC / CBC kinda blur the edges here since they're arms length and the content creators aren't monitoring the effectiveness of their work via public opinion polling, etc. But in practice they coordinate with a lot of the think tanks that coordinate with the federal governments and there's a bit of a cozy relationship most times that can be exploited and if a relationship / topic is important (like the US Canadian NAFTA talks) you'll see some pretty positive coverage coming out of the CBC.

There is a short 60s book called "Propaganda" that covers all this, and if you read it with a programmers background you'll be able to fully extrapolate to what today looks like.

No? Most other cars don't have redundant ECUs.
The Github ToC require you to allow forks for public repositories. So a fork on Github is almost literally the only use of this software that they couldn't stop.

I'm reasonably certain that Github would check this when served with a DMCA notice, as well. The ToC read as if they are a reaction to exactly such a case. They don't want it to be possible to infringe copyright with the single click of a button.

I also agree that it is not a helpful term.

I like to think we are all 10x developers. The question of a 1x developer should be how to grow their productivity (assuming they are motivated to do so). Less productive developers should not feel like they have one tenth of the natural talent someone else has. Instead they should look at how they can improve their work flow/knowledge and companies should try and maximise the output of their employees.

Yes some people will always be better/more productive than others, but most people are differentiated by completely controllable factors.

Also, will the deletions be logical or physical. Will they be shallow or deep? Keep in mind that there are many types of "deletion".

Logical deletions would be just marking the user/comment as deleted ( updating a column in a table ) while keeping the data internally. Physical deletions would mean they remove the data on their servers.

Then the next question is whether the deletions are shallow ( superficial ) or deep ( complete ). For example, they can just do a shallow delete of the account/user on their front-end servers. But that leaves back-end servers, disaster recovery servers, staging servers, storage tape long term backups and also log backups.

Even if data is deleted on all live servers, database and log backups stored on tape and sent off to storage facilities still have your data.

Deleting your account/comment isn't as simple as people generally think.
Sometimes I ask myself if the unsettling feeling I felt in Diablo was because I was too young and impressed by the horror. But I believe it's just that people can't make good games anymore.

The best angle I have seen for this is: if we knew a safer way than road testing to teach something to drive we would do it. Teens are way more dangerous than experienced drivers, even after classes and 100 hours of training, but we still let them on the road. It’s imperfect but the only known way to get the experience needed to get better is drive in the real world before you are 100% safe too (and nothing ever hits 100).
> I didn't realize this is how WebRTC actually works.

Yep. STUN is in the spec, and always has been. This has been a thing for years.
what do you mean by data processing exercises?
Why’d they do that?
> Isn't this going against what the Elixir/Erlang system already provides?

No?

So, I guess, let's dig into that a little bit. Erlang's always kind of left the health and safety of your deployed system as a whole up to you, being preoccupied with giving you tools for understanding and maintaining its internal operation. OTP provides two semi-unique things: supervision of computation with control of failure bubble-up and hot code reloading. Hot code reloading isn't used all that much in practice, outside of domains where it's _very important_ that the whole system can never be offline and load balancing techniques are not applicable. That's a specific niche and, sure, probably one that kubernetes can't service. With regard to supervision, there's no incompatibility between OTP's approach and a deployment consisting of of ephemeral nodes that live and then die by some external mechanism. Seems to me that kubernetes is no different a deployment target in this regard than is terraform/packer, hot-swapped servers in a rack or any of the other deploy methods I've seen in my career.
Apparently we live in different timelines:

1999 - SavaJe is founded

2006 - Jasper S20 with SavaJe OS gets presented at Java ONE

2006 - End of the year, SavaJe fails to gain another round of investment, in spite of the successful reception at Java ONE

2007 - April, Sun public announcement to buy SavaJe assets

2007 - November, Open Handset Alliance is created

2008 - November, HTC Dream gets released as the very first Android device. The initial architecture diagrams have a certain resemblance with SavaJe ones.

The OS that came to be Android started in 2003, was initially based in JavaScript, had lots of time to inspire on Java stacks after they pivoted to Java and were eventually bought by Google.

Only after SavaJe was no longer around, it became public what Google was up to regarding their mobile OS strategy.

This makes me a bit nostalgic for the older days when you just assumed you were chatting with a bunch of other weirdos online, so everyone went by aliases. And if you ever tired of your old identity, you'd shed that old screenname, sign up with a different one, and maybe never mention the past.

Facebook changed everything by encouraging people to match their online accounts to real names, supply photos of themselves, and their family tree. Usernames became actual people. And all of a sudden, anonymity was lost.

And now people want to be forgotten again. I shake my head at the heavy-handed way of mass deleting comments. It’s understandable for Facebook where the person and account are closely tied, but for sites like HN, I hope we keep the shared knowledge, but just scrub out the name.

Congress can do almost whatever it wants with any territory (subject to much less limits than apply to Congres action against states), but the 14th Amendment doesn't really have anything to do with that.
It bursted long ago. It don't know exactly when it happened, but people went from actually using sites like facebook (Posting about their lives, kids, dinners etc) to just using facebook etc. as a IM platform and meme feed, like we have had alternatives for since forever.
I use Marco Polo to stay in touch with family. Both my wife's family and my own discovered it a couple of months ago and it's a great immediate way to stay in touch with each others daily lives.

>the dash cam shows what it shows

The dash cam is either proof that:
i) that dash cams are far inferior to human eyes in terms of dynamic range (certainly true); and/or
ii) the video was purposely darkened or compressed to mislead the public into believing a human driver would have hit the pedestrian (see, https://arstechnica.com/cars/2018/03/police-chief-said-uber-... ).

I think it was both i) and ii).
Ask HN: Software that would let me tunnel through my work computer

I worked at a well-known civil rights advocacy nonprofit for a long time and Private Internet Access was one of our major supporters. The owner is a huge ally of Internet freedom and privacy - a very good person who is an activist in their own way and using their success to make a positive impact.

So perhaps I'm biased (even though I'm not in nonprofit anymore), but I would put the chance of an NSA honeypot at close to 0%...

I usually have a choice if I want to buy something from a private company. I rarely need to give them my money, and if I do, I may have a choice, and even if I don't have a choice, it doesn't really affect me how they use my profits. You have no option in this manner when it comes to government workers, except perhaps moving out of state.

Why would someone publish an article like this?

>I didn’t come up in computer science; I began my career as a physicist. That transition gave me a specific perspective on this situation. That the field of computer science, unlike other sciences, has not yet faced serious negative consequences for the work its practitioners do.

That right there should have eliminated the article entirely. First, most computer science courses include a course on ethics and how our industry affects peoples lives. If he'd come up in the CS world he would know that. Second, this is absolutely not anywhere near the first time CS has faced an ethics issue. There are classic cases I imagine everyone here went over in their ethics classes, like the cancer radiation machine with no failsafe that cooked people. The Boston 'Big Dig' project. The Denver airport failures. Or how about the NSA doing anything within their power to use technology to build a real world Big Brother? (Too bad Orwell didn't realize anyone paranoid enough to build a Big Brother apparatus would be too paranoid to ever actually use it.)

Engineers certainly need to start taking responsibility for the work they do. Moral responsibility. Because 'I was just doing my job' does not fly. It is identical to 'I only did it for money'. If that helps you understand how immature such a comment makes a person. And if they won't do it themselves, everyone else will do it for them.

Those who work at Cambridge Analytica, or Google, or Facebook, or other 'collect everything, exploit everything, never stop to consider consequences' companies are bad people, plain and simple. There are certainly those who work at those companies who didn't work on those particular projects and they're fine, but for those who built the tools to do this, they are bad human beings who actively made the world a worse place. And that they did it for money doesn't really absolve them of responsibility. Especially in an industry like software where it's so laughably easy to get another job that doesn't involve aggressively stalking people in a seeming bid to build every dystopia written about since the dawn of the 20th century.
Just relax and don't read into things so much. :/
