Possibly thousands. With 25 fps, a thousand frames is just 40 seconds worth of film, and the Mickey sequence was longer than that.
I like the spirit of it but the readability for sighted, and especially barely sighted people is problematic. If it works for blind people but not for almost blind people, it's a bad solution.
Only if the subgroup "people who are tired of all this privacy stuff" is representative of HN's readership. There are more people reading than will ever comment. That's true of any community.

The community is also very welcoming and helpful!
Do you think we could draw a parallel between agile software development and the communist movement ?
> with no other information we can only plump for "in the middle".

This is because the derivative of e^x is e^x, so when undergoing exponential growth the rate of change tells us nothing about where we are on that curve. And this is also why people (not GP, of course) who talk about the 'knee' in an exponential graph really annoy me...!

HIPAA laws (which protect the privacy of patient health information) have some real teeth. If Facebook was not scared off by them, their partners -- the hospitals -- may well have been.
I wonder if it will be a bidding system. Like if you pay $15/mo then that is used to win the ad bidding process and keep your data safe from ad bids less than $1. However, if someone is bidding $5 per ad spot, then it over comes your ad buffer and you see it. In a way, everyone loses and facebook makes way more money by weponizing their concerned users who have enough cash to pay for puedo privacy.
Safety in process.

Ironic that one of the principals of agile is "people over processes"
This is to my mind analogous to the rarity of company directors being knowledgeable about the Companies Act, a 760+ page document with hundreds of summary criminal sanctions for non compliance.

The modern frameworks for commerce are indeed complex and may take some time to master, but the affordances to individual company directors, principally but not at all limited to the benefit of limitation of liability, are a enormous economic benefit which society freely affords without any test of competence, the absence of which I have always felt is as harmful to the public at large as scrapping driving tests, greater if you could be so callous to render life and limb as purely economic costs.

How does KYC (know your customer) AML (anti-money laundering) law not apply here? Shouldn’t the REIT/employees of the REIT need to know who is paying them?

Agile methods are solidly in the mainstream, but that popularity hasn't been without its problems. Organizational leaders are complaining that they’re not getting the benefits they expected. This article presents a fluency model that will help you get the most out of agile ideas.

Perhaps, rather than a fluency model and the associated billable consulting hours, there are simpler and less expensive explanations of the failure of Agile Inc.'s advice to software developers.
It's not just convenience. Because of cash flow (rent, groceries, etc), people on the poorer end of working class just never have enough money available at one time to do bulk buys, even with perfect money management.
Immediate mode is really the sweet spot for games, I still do most of my experimental UIs using immediate mode on top of canvas for that reason. If you need to write something like a code editor, it is just much easier than fighting the DOM (you can easily do your own caching using images), though you have to roll a lot on your own.

The problem with gaming is that you usually don’t want to use the DOM, and React’s value add is mostly in its DOM handling.

On 5, it's my home setup. SSH'ing to a local Linux box is fast and I'd already be using a terminal. I use it from both Linux and Macs and the only thing that bothers me a little is syncing the working directories. Most server grade boxes from Dell or Lenovo work with Linux perfectly and the tower ones are great workstations.

The iMac Pro is overspecced for Rails development. You can get a very decent Mac for much less. If you keep your work environment synced via iCloud or Dropbox, the problem of syncing I mentioned doesn't exist (I prefer the minor discomfort to syncing through a third party).

As for 6, get a Linux PC and run a Windows VM when you need it. It's better to have the decent OS host the crappy one than the other way around.
This is a trip, seeing code I wrote 25 years ago. It's actually kind of scary how identifiable my style is; in a lot of ways I am still the same coder, although I tend to work at a much higher level of abstraction now. There was a certain craft to weaving all sorts of linked lists back and forth all the time and maintaining invariants that looking at my old code makes me a little nostalgic for, but I can't say I really miss it much.
I watch movies in 2D exclusively, including the big Marvel features. I have watched my fair share of 3D movies, but never noticed it except when the crew went out of their way to include a scene where a sword blade comes very close to the camera for a split-second. I'm not paying extra charge for this. Plus, with 3D, if you're not in the center of the room, you will have weird distortions because the separate images do not match the perspective from your location.
Zetsche, Mercedes Benz CEO, just admitted to Shareholders that they will switch to electric cars, but it will be bad for their bottom line. That's why they are dragging their feet.

It does not hose your credit rating in the US (assuming you pay your CC bill on time). It doesn't even show up as an event on your credit rating, as the decision to extend credit up to your limit has already been approved.

>It makes no difference if the breach uses a zero-day exploit to access FB's database, or if it uses social engineering to get someone at Facebook to send them a hard drive

It makes an enormous difference because it affects what the public should reasonably be afraid of in the future.

Scenario 1 (what actually happened): Facebook used to have bad app policies that were too permissive, and political candidates like Obama and Trump abused data obtained under those policies. They were changed 4 years ago, and this behavior has not been possible since then.

Scenario 2 (what the media is implying to get clicks): Breach! Breach! We have a breach! Highly paid hackers are breaking into Facebook, stealing your data, and using it to brainwash you! Facebook is incapable of securing your information and therefore we must ensure that they never get any information about anyone ever again!

So, your personal definition of a “data breach” notwithstanding, it is both alarmist and inaccurate to use that term in describing the CA situation. Where news headlines are concerned, the most commonly accepted definition of that phrase, which is being intentionally used to conjure up false images of scenario 2 above, is the only thing that matters.

It's the forgotten point of reduce, reuse, recycle. People are almost always surprised when I mention that it's a ranked list, heading towards less efficacy. You might be proud of recycling, but it's the low hanging and least useful choice. Simply not using things or re-using sturdier goods is far and away the better choice in terms of waste.

Let's hope Apple release an MBP that you like better then.

If the $2k isn't that significant, and minimal downtime is so important; may as well keep a slightly older refurb model on-site as a hot-spare ready to go just in case there's a problem... A policy that would work, whatever your OS / brand preference.
In agile are you permanently in a sprint? When one sprint ends you start a new one, right? That's insane - you can't sprint all your life.

> And in the case of search, it absolutely sucks on today's filesystems.

It does. You mention grep, I'd even mention find - half of the time I'm wondering whether it has searched everything I wanted, or I misspelled the command. Or file search in Windows (Vista+) - I just don't trust it; I'm pretty sure it missed some data in the past for one reason or another.

Now with traditional file systems, I at least have the file tree. With tag-based systems, I'd only have search - so it better be trustworthy, both in reality and UX-wise. It needs to project the feeling of correctness and completeness or results.

> The only way I know a grep of a whole drive or deep directory is done is because I get my blinking cursor back.

The only way I know a find of a whole drive does what it's supposed to be doing is because it emits a stream of "find: `/some/path': Permission denied" messages.

> At the very least with a proper tagging system, we would be inherently familiar with the indexes available to us.

Fair enough.

Thanks for the thoughtful comment! This is my first try at entrepreneurship. I'd be lying if I said that I'm always sure it was worth it. Most of the time, though, I really think it is, regardless of if it's commercially a success or not. Probably sounds corny, but for a product to work commercially, it needs to have both passion from your end and usefulness on the other. I think if there's no passion, it's probably not going anywhere and even if it does it's not worth it.

I mean, I’m no FB fan at all, but why? Assuming it’s named that because he made a donation and he’s not using his leverage at the hospital inappropriately, isn’t it only fair to give him some credit when his surveillance money is used for good? Similar to Bill Gates.

So let them stash it in a bank account or the stock market (both places where it will do more good for the economy). Houses and land are special and scarce, and shouldn’t be subject to the same rules as other financial assets.
Is there personal data in the domain names queried, as opposed to the IP addresses querying? I think there probably is. For example, consider the bug in iTerm2 that ran a dns query for any text cmd-clicked on.

To protect against that, could you commit not to log to disk any queries that come from fewer than N ips in 24 hours, and not to expose rare queries to APNIC or internally? (Not a demand, just brainstorming mitigation.)

It might also be fun to give an internal team access to the data you consider safe, and challenge them to dig up personal data from it.

We used cloth diapers in a place that's hot and humid but seasonally cold (the US Deep South). Outside on the line, diapers dried a lot faster in the summer than the winter. We ended up having to buy a used dryer for winter use, because they simply didn't dry fast enough to be ready by the time we needed them.
I bet this law exists because the military asked for it. Spy satellites have military importance, so they want control over anything that looks even slightly like a spy satellite.
Ultimately, agile was successful[1]. Most companies took up many of the good practices. It didn't cure all our problems because coding is hard.

To play devil's advocate... that is 10% of your time in meetings that are defined by scrum to have specific goals that should be accomplished in each. It is possible (every case varies) that that 10% of time spent has a multiplying increase on product quality.

It is equally if not more probable it is a waste of time too though. Especially if the scrum master can't stay focused. I've been able to get 20 person scrum / standup meetings on schedule for 15 minutes every day from scheduled start to end. You could set your clock by it. But I've seen other teams take a half hour for less people. That is ridiculous.

As a fun anecdote, once I gave a project estimate and my client paid us to do detailed project planning because he didn't believe the estimate. We spent 3 days (with 5 people in the room) in requirements gathering, specing, and estimating stories. The end result... 5% more than my "wild guess" that I gave the client originally (that they already thought was too high) only now the client had to also pay for the additional 120 hours we spent in planning.

They asked incredulous how my "wild guess" could have been so close and my only answer was... experience.

But in the absence of experience those meetings could have provided a valuable service.

Don't put too much faith in claims like this made by an anonymous account. Most SF-based software engineers don't make anywhere close to this. And we don't have any details about the breakdown between salary/hourly rate, stock, etc. And we don't have any proof at all really.

Key Questions for Validating Your Startup: A Good Idea Checklist (2016)
I really don't see any of those reasons as being sufficient to cover SpaceX launch videos other than in the most narrow bureaucratic sense.

(1) Is dubious at best in this context, given that they do permit the first couple of 10's of KM up and only after that does this office's authority come into play. By then any imagery at HD video resolution of the United States has zero implication for national security. (2) and (3) are neutrals by my interpretation. And it actually flat out contradicts (4), (5), (6) and (7), since it isn't promoting it but actively tries to reduce it and blocks the public dissemination of the live streams they were already making available.

GGGPs arguments made no sense, yours are more verbose and seemingly better founded but they also make no sense.

This is just a nice example of a bunch of people with no actual stake in the outcome flexing their bureaucratic muscle, the equivalent of the little people behind government institutions little windows in places of 'public service' whose only role in life seems to be to ruin yours and to send you to another colleague behind another window.

> the metadata is lost once the file is exported out of the system

As someone who has implemented such a "file system" (or three) for various types of enterprise clients, some of which in turn serve it to other b2b clients of their own... I just have to say... this isn't necessarily a bad thing, and also, it's not necessarily true either. For starters, one can easily give every file a unique uuid, and map that uuid to a spreadsheet full of metadata. Additionally, a little vendor lock in to keep "special features" like management of a bespoke file system isn't necessarily a bad thing, either, if it's in your best interest to keep paying customers. Application specific use cases? Sure... but what isn't? You can build a generic abstract non-hierarchical file system though... easily.

I think that that is better explained by the power of money in American politics than anything else. On another note, copyright laws in the rest of the world aren't that much better which means that even that is only a partial explanation at best.

But I take your point that public interest is rarely the thing foremost on politicians minds when they create their laws.
From the article:

"A search for the X-ray signatures of low-mass black hole binaries in the Chandra data turned up 12 within three light-years of Sgr A*."

Three light years is not that big of a distance in the grand scheme of things. For reference, the nearest star to Earth is Proxima Centauri, which is 4.2 light years away. Having 12 binaries within 3 ly sounds really dense. Having several hundred sounds crazy.
