Loved Laser Discs, home theater a decade+ earlier than anyone I knew.

Also had an IDE? 2x CD burner in the late 90s, great for making mix CDs for my car and hoarding warez before moving on to libre software. Good times.

Been a while since I've been ahead of the technology curve, and tend to lag it now. Let others do the debugging, haha.

If you're a solo employee in a C-Corp, I'm pretty sure you can file as an S-Corp, which provides the same pass-through benefits of an LLC. When I was incorporating and found that out, it really confused me why everyone was so against C-Corp.

Also, if you are working in California, I believe you can waive the first year of foreign franchise tax.
Can you give a link to your original content? I'm curious what HN'ers create!
I have a sneaking suspicion that you're itching to do just that
We know because when Disney finds their content on Youtube they have it removed, they don't compromise their premium channels for the pittance in ad revenue they would get from pirate garbage.

The uploaders get through the filters with really strange editing tricks, cropping the screen and editing random bits together. It's not a level of quality that Disney would like to have associated with their brand in even the most unofficial way.
Just the opposite. The content becomes more bland and inoffensive over time, as advertisers don't want to take the risk of offending even a very small subset of viewers.
> Every single regulation starts from an "untenable place", almost by definition.

I guess I'd disagree with that. Many environmental regulations are highly defensible, for example, especially when they arise in light of new evidence.

I could also be wrong, but I don't believe most environmental regulations are proposed by powerful, monopolistic competitors of oil companies (which is a big part of what makes this proposed regulation untenable).

> Self-regulation is only a solution if the industry at large addresses the concerns early and acts in good faith

I don't think anyone's really proposing this as an alternative. The point's more that repealing a bad law is significantly harder than creating it in the first place, so it makes sense to be diligent.
Loneliness more likely to affect young people
(Not the same person, but:) if you want to look into this, vacancy rates are probably the place to start.

In Vancouver, for instance, it's very clear. ~280,000 housing units, of which ~25,000 were recently found to be owned-but-unoccupied. Which doesn't mean international owners, but does mean housing is being used not to live in, or even to rent, but as a pure investment - with obvious consequences for the people actually living there.

A very quick look doesn't turn up this number for San Jose, but it's the most obvious way to distinguish price hikes driven by capped housing and rising salaries from those driven by outside investment.

Because it doesn't make sense. Why would they ISPs care that you are encrypting your dns requests in transit? The vast majority of people still use whatever DNS servers their ISPs tell them to use. So the ISP controls the other side of the encrypted communication, making the encryption useless for preventing them from reading it.
> People who work in abrasive environments sometimes without proper protection often temporarily have no fingerprints as they are "warn off".

Do they come back in the same form as they previously were?
While I applaud the hard work the W3C group has put into this, and the excellent spec, I can't help but think that they are solving a problem that doesn't exist.

Attackers are much more likely to assume a user's identity and thus acquire the user's certificates for such a system. That's how most compromises today happen.

The central issue is verifying a claimed identity - not just at enrollment time but also on every use. The spec waves that off to 'Authenticators' (see below). But that's not a solution. If user authorization to certificates are based off passwords, for example, then what prevents an attacker from taking compromised data about me and using that to get access to passwords?

Don't get me wrong - this is good work. But I just think everyone seems to be focussing on the wrong end of the stick.

=======================

User Verification

The technical process by which an authenticator locally authorizes the invocation of the authenticatorMakeCredential and authenticatorGetAssertion operations. User verification MAY be instigated through various authorization gesture modalities; for example, through a touch plus pin code, password entry, or biometric recognition (e.g., presenting a fingerprint) [ISOBiometricVocabulary]. The intent is to be able to distinguish individual users. Note that invocation of the authenticatorMakeCredential and authenticatorGetAssertion operations implies use of key material managed by the authenticator. Note that for security, user verification and use of credential private keys must occur within a single logical security boundary defining the authenticator.

Then they should say that. “Our net energy impact is 100% clean, after considering the other clean energy projects we subsidize to offset our non-clean facilities.” Rather than “Our global facilities are powered with 100 percent clean energy” which is false if it can be shown that some of their facilities are powered by non-clean energy.
> the only scarcity is our attention.

I'm surprised nobody brought up artificial scarcity. Debeer's diamond cartel is one of the most recognized early examples of artificial scarcity. Lots of places have artificial land shortages. There's plenty of capital to solve societies big problems but instead we have economic waste like 20 companies cloning the latest candy crush app.
Like some other commenters here. Like the rules would cascade down similar to css. You might think that a read rule on a parent node would apply to a child unless that child overrode the that rule. But it doesn't. So you keep having to read the rules up the hierarchy to see who could ever read the node.

The irony is all of mine that have the scorched pin are Apple's...
As a periodic insomniac, my insomnia is often triggered by stress, but then fed by the fear of not sleeping.

I'll got to bed with my brain caught in some sort of stress loop that I can't break. Then I have the thought "Oh shit, tonight's gonna be an insomnia night, isn't it?" Just having that thought introduces a fuck ton of cortisol into my system, creating a self fulfilling prophecy.

...all of these stories about the dangers of those missed nights of sleep really don't help matters.
My theory about these scorpions is that it is protective coloration (aposematism) that warns potential predators, in this case likely birds and reptiles that are capable of seeing uv colors due to tetrachromacy. See [1] and [2].

>temporarily reaches

And that's a problem. You don't want "temporarily". If it is temporarily then it is if it doesn't exist at all - there has to be a prepared reserve (read power plants operating) for the cases when renewable doesn't reach 100%.

AFAIK, energy distributors have to have the equal amount of production capacity in regular power plants as there is renewable energy (well, not renewable but wind+solar - the ones that variate the most).

Until battery packs become widely available, I would say that solar+wind is quite a poor choice to reduce CO2 (assuming that it is the reason why we do renewable at all).
You can do whatever you want to it! But would you expect an NVidia graphics card to work with AMD drivers? The controller isn't the one the drivers were written for, so it breaks. Not surprising.
Since it's at the TLS level, the frontend/load balancer would have to deal with user authentication, which can be challenging.

Another reason not to buy Apple products
If I was, I would have worded my initial, base level, comment differently. Note that I'm not the one bringing up right or left and I'm specifically complaining about websites that have a far right user base.

So, I think you should question if you're projecting here.
This isnt the sale of parts to people that wish to buy them, its a very stringent certification program that very few are going to meet the requirements for, and requires you do things like

"Actively promote the Apple brand as part of their business along with AppleCare service and support products."

"Service Providers are required to use Apple Certified Macintosh Technicians when conducting diagnostics, Covered Repairs, modifications, alterations and upgrades on Apple products."

" Individuals or sole traders may not apply."

Imagine these kind of restrictions being placed on car repairshops before they were allowed to buy and use replacement parts from manufacterers, there would be a massive lawsuit.

Having both a renewable and sustainable sourcing of biofuels is important, and EU actors have a obligation to the world to improve.

That said, SCHiM's statements makes it sound like the EU is currently burning the world for the sake of their own green conscience. That's not the full picture. Admittedly when it comes to import of biofuels it appears to be hard to verify and enforce that the source is renewable and sustainable. And the EU probably isn't doing much better than anyone else in that area.

On the other hand: EU:s primary source of biofuel is internal production and not imports[0] and there is little deforestation going on in the EU, many European countries even have a slight net positive reforestation[3], despite a huge internal production of biofuels.

[0] https://hub.globalccsinstitute.com/publications/renewable-en...
[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deforestation_by_region
[2] https://rainforests.mongabay.com/deforestation/

There is also a great interest in increasing the capacity for local sourcing of biofuels to reduce dependency of imports and creating jobs locally. So while there is reason to be mindful of how biofuels are sourced, and that there still are bad actors in the EU (as well as and elsewhere), my impression is that the general trend in the EU is one of increased awareness and positive development.
Interesting. I can't find any sort of artificial horizon, but i suspect the two "spirit levels" at the bottom (T shape) serve much the same purpose.

It's true that U2F/WebAuth doesn't fix e.g. a CSRF vuln or an XSS vuln where someone abuses legitimate credentials like a session cookie, but this does effectively beat phishing, and that's no small feat.
I still think algorithmic passwords are safer. I could get access to all of your passwords via a simple keylogger to scrape your manager's master password. There's no way you can get at mine because the master password is the algorithm in my brain. You could try to get 2-3 of my existing passwords and reverse engineer my algorithm, but in the words of Liam Neeson: "Good luck"

Clearly you're very good at what you do. Speak to the folks at your company and help them help you make the situation better. Stay at your job. Especially if you have people depending on you like a spouse, kids or parents. Hold out longer and build a bigger cushion. Remove the risk from your plan by building a passive income stream now through investments in the market and/or real estate. Life is a long time if you're lucky. You don't want to get to the latter parts and not be able to afford the things you want or need.
Yes, the only thing they have going for them is that the initial factor they use for putting someone against the wall is economic and not race based. They still put innocent people against the wall. How is this not clear to you?
For a while, the best and cheapest ISP in Montreal was a beauty products company. They had a shit ton of modems in a back store and a very good admin I guess.
Sure, but in normal markets both supply and demand shift to reach equilibrium. In urban housing markets, increasingly supply is approximately illegal, so what would be manageable demand for any other resource drives runaway price growth like we see here.

The argument for not blaming high-salary tech workers is that when they demand anything other than housing (nootropics or standing desks or whatever other stereotype we might choose), prices don't react anywhere near as strongly.

What about throwing capital at developing a better way to route traffic than BGP? Or trying to further increase bandwidth and be a faster 'dumb pipe'?
It'd be pretty hard for them to know though. They'd have to reverse engineer (the irony isn't lost on me) every variation of third party screen/touchscreen controller. What happens if some feature isn't available on a third party screen? Either they don't implement the feature at all or third party screens are now worse off and we'll have a headline "Apple cripples third party repairs!".
Ask HN: Micro-payments without cryptocurrencies?
I've been thinking a bit lately about some ideas with micro-payments, mostly related to music. I was wondering if there are existing or promising solutions for micro-payments that pay directly in USD or other government-backed currencies?

I've seen something called flattr but that looks to be built around a subscription model. I am looking for something that allows me to directly send $0.01 to another person in very short time. It's possible this already exists and is widely available, I haven't been thinking about this for very long.

Worked for my person email attached to my domain. I agree with others in that explaining how this works would be very nice.
Email address validation is basically an impossible problem. In practice, the best strategy is:

1. Check if email is wellformed, with an *extremely* lenient algorithm. Basically, do we have .*@.* ?

2. Check that the domain is real, has an MX record, and the SMTP server in the MX record exists.

Ok, send mail! The only way to verify after that is to send an email with a verification link and complete the circle.

They are also not trivial for webdevs to implement, since the webapp usually doesn't terminate the TLS connection itself.
In return, I disagree with your perspective. While you are certainly right about stressful experiences related to employment and status in modern society, how exactly would this not have been a variation on the same problem for forms of life and society that we have observed so far?

Today we might rush after digital clocks and adapt our waking lives to the never extinguished electric lights that encircle us, all while the power of science has still failed to reduce our working times which have been rising ever since the agricultural revolution. In earlier society people felt the need to please the Gods - whatever their job situation was.

Even as lone hunter-gatherer your mind would be stressed because life itself continuously coerces you into doing inconvenient things in order to survive. You need things and they aren't just popping into your hands. Society made it massively easier to simply survive and not die.

But the factor we are REALLY after and which stresses us out without end is status. For you, for your children, for the rest of your family. Until status doesn't matter, stress will exist. No matter how much we secure and automate in the rest of our lives, be it health or hunger.
Ask HN: Anyone have use for currencycare.com?
I picked this domain up from another HN member last year with the intention of doing something with it, but ended up, not. When he transferred it to me he asked that if I don't use it to put it back into the HN community. So I am doing that. It expires in about 3 weeks, so I'd like to move it sooner rather than later so I don't have to renew it before transferring.

I specifically said "If DNS encryption becomes more prevalent". Obviously this point becomes null if the user is using the ISP's own DNS servers. I guess I should have said, "If DNS encryption becomes more prevalent and users start taking advantage of privacy-conscious third party DNS providers".

You've also chosen one very specific part of my post and used it to attempt to claim the entire post doesn't make sense. What about the rest? Even if you ignore the entire DNS-related portion of my post, there's no way you can claim that ISPs are able to access anywhere near as much data as GA/etc when users are mostly accessing encrypted sites.

That they do, not wrong there.
I assume this wasn't intentional (Hanlon's razor).

But even if it wasn't, it's not entirely outrageous to predicate continued software support on some terms. The only problem then would be not making those terms clear up-front.
Good question. For discoverability to work well, you'd have to be able to identify a particular user, then track their viewing habits, then develop a viewing profile for them that you can do matching against.

The technical aspect of this is a mostly solved problem (YouTube and other distributors do it) but getting past the privacy aspects will be challenging - the type of person to use a distributed platform will also likely be using it to avoid this sort of tracking. Or they're in a country that has GDPR-like laws.

Slippery slope here. If they start testing with 3rd party hardware, that market will grow for third party parts whereas if they constantly tell people they don't support it and casually break those devices by accident, then they curb the issue while it's a small segment of the market.

I see a company like Tesla taking the same approach.
You can imagine though, that the intended model for rust programming is to avoid "unsafe" as much as necessary. Essentially that C++ is using unsafe by default, while rust has safe by default.

You have to go out of your way not to stay in safe for the most part (if rust's design does what they intended), which implies that most of your code should be provably safe (by rust's definition of safe), as long as the ideally small unsafe blocks are correct, if the program compiles.

Where in C++, there is no such gaurantee regarding compilation; even your "safe" code isn't shown to be safe by the compiler (additional tooling may apply further checks); your whole codebase is assumed to be unsafe.

The "potential problem" is naturally the size of your codebase, whereas rust offers it as a subset of the codebase.
I would too. We'll see what the future holds.
It seemed to me like they meant the question politically, not technically, as in, would AOMedia have been possible?

I think it's widely understood that the technical innovations in sixth-generation codecs like AV1 were simply not computationally feasible on circa ~1993 devices, so I highly doubt that's what was meant. Therefore I'm not sure how transistor density relates to funding models for DSP innovation.

If, as GP suggests, you have to plug a USB device in to auth the first time, why not just run the protocol through the device for every single HTTP request?
