I don't think nationalization is the answer, but busting up that monopoly probably is.

Google's entire business model seems to be to operate everything as a loss-leader for AdSense. It turns out that that's extremely anti-competitive and I'm growing to think that it probably should be illegal.

The only way that anyone can compete with the free services that Google provides is to run it off the profits from a massive cash cow like AdSense. Until somebody finds some service/revenue model that provides that, it's just not going to happen.

The only way that anyone can compete with AdSense is to own users interactions with the browser like Google's free services do. Until somebody owns that much of your traffic, no-one will compete with AdSense.

> The assumed behaviour of bit fields is well defined between gcc and clang with the proper pragmas.

From the GCC documentation[1], it says:

> Determined by ABI.

This means that it may be different when compiling for different architectures. How you can say it well-defined? Here is a good example [2] on the compability issue when using bit fields

Request a CableCARD. They legally have to provide one, and in some cases may give you a small "customer owned equipment" credit.
I would fully support usage based pricing as well if the rates were reasonable. By reasonable I mean at the very least an order of magnitude lower than they charge right now. I'd be on board with billing more akin to electricity. Even better, regulate them like a utility.
We canceled service and returned our Comcast box to the local office once a local WISP became available. A week later, a bill arrived in the mail charging us for the box. Apparently, the billing system doesn't first check the equipment return system and it took 45 minutes with Customer Service for the barely trained CS agent to figure out how to go off script and recognize the equipment was indeed already in their possession. After years of being over charged for under performing service, I can only hope for more WISPs to spring up and eat Comcast's lunch.

If you have a physical presence in a state you are considered doing business in that state.
I had a buddy that used a Mikrotik router for years. He couldn't shop at Newegg because his router "optimized" his MTU and Newegg blocked connections with non-standard MTU sizes.
As a side note, I'd consider trying to flash something openWRT on other routers that anybody owns. There are not really many companies that keeps releasing patches for consumer devices unless there is a major outcry (for e.g KRACK). In most cases your router in a small MIPS box running linux (consumer ones), treat it as you'd treat your other systems and update it often!
They would prefer that healthy people don't get discounts since they are such low risks for claims. Better to incentivize the couch potatoes as a preventative health measure to reduce losses and have you subsidize the lifestyle of those who won't make an effort.
Why is this comment misinformed? In a video tour of his home lab, Sam Zeloof shows us his acid-storage cabinet and mentions that he gets HF from over-the-counter Whink-brand "Rust Stain Remover"[1].

Since this product is commonly available at hardware stores across the United States, why should comments related to it "be deleted because it is so dangerous"?

I agree that HF can be extremely dangerous, but in this case it's not clear that Sam is working with or advocating use of dangerous concentrations or chemcial forumulations of fluorine-based acids. Maybe I missed a post where he does discuss using more dangerous concentrations or compounds?

It's not exclusively defined as living in California, but if you live in California and have an LLC, it almost certainly requires registration in the state:

https://www.ftb.ca.gov/businesses/Doing-Business-in-Californ...

For taxable years beginning on or after 1/1/2011, a taxpayer is doing business in California if it actively engages in any transaction for the purpose of financial or pecuniary gain or profit in California or if any of the following conditions are satisfied:

> The taxpayer is organized or commercially domiciled in California.

> Sales, as defined in subdivision (e) or (f) of R&TC 25120, of the taxpayer in California, including sales by the taxpayer’s agents and independent contractors, exceed the lesser of $500,000 [1] or 25 percent of the taxpayer's total sales.

> Real and tangible personal property of the taxpayer in California exceed the lesser of $50,000[1] or 25 percent of the taxpayer's total real and tangible personal property.

> The amount paid in California by the taxpayer for compensation, as defined in subdivision (c) of R&TC 25120, exceeds the lesser of $50,000[1] or 25 percent of the total compensation paid by the taxpayer.

> For the conditions above, the sales, property, and payroll of the taxpayer include the taxpayer's pro rata or distributive share of pass-through entities. "Pass-through entities" means partnerships, LLCs treated as partnerships, or S corporations.

So if your 'HQ' is in California, if 25% of your sales are in California, if more than 25% of your property is in California, or if more than 25% of the total compensation you pay is in California, you need a California LLC.

My first time holding a puppy reaction
I'm working on building an educational environment with Jupyter, and I'm interested in the multiple hubs.

A few basic questions:
Why multiple hubs? (was there some point of scale where you needed this)
Did multiple hubs allow you to have better migrations? (where you drain one and move it over to the other)

Totally agree that state is the enemy of scale, so having a separate service backing your storage independent of what hub you're on seems like a big win.

Thanks for the great talk!

Ask HN: Why do employers require intern candidates be undergrad students?
Hi all,

I've noticed a lot of paid internship job listings require candidates be current undergraduate students. Can anyone shed light on why a company might have this requirement?

For context, I'm looking at internship roles because I'm transitioning from project management to data science after completing a data science bootcamp. I earned a bachelors in Business Administration four years ago.

> "The very people that could quicken the recovery of the fallen Midwestern towns are the same people who left."

I think this is a little too simplistic. I used this reason partially to not leave one of the cities on your list for many years. Working in software and not wanting to be part of the "brain drain". Eventually, I realized the problem was simply bigger than me and that finding quality tech work and companies was something I needed for personal health (both career and other).
I've been a C++ programmer for almost as long, with some work in C. I discovered bitfields while writing emulators, in particular, building representations of registers. I'd suspect that if you haven't run into them in embedded work, that maybe they used macros and bitmasking instead.

Unfortunately commercial-grade non-invasive EEG headsets can only reliably respond to things like intense emotional changes and the difference between sleep/awake state, but not much more than that. Awhile ago I had some moderate success classifying the difference between a subject watching an emotional short film vs. stand-up comedy. Mostly they are effective at picking up background noise and muscular movement and not much else.

This is based on my experience with the Muse [1] headset, which has 4 electrodes plus a reference electrode. I know there are similar devices with around a dozen or so electrodes, but I can't imagine they're a significant improvement.

So I think we're still a long way off from what you're describing :(

you believe sending a person to a prison for over a year where there is a high likely hood they will be raped, beaten and abused is the proper punishment for "imitation of the official packaging"

you believe that giving a person a felony conviction where by they will be denied many rights, barred from renting property, be unable to obtain many jobs, and for the rest of their lives have their economic and social opportunities limited is the proper punishment for "imitation of the official packaging"

I am honestly shocked by a callous reactions people have had to this case on HN, either people do not really understand what it means to go to a Federal prison for over year, have a felony criminal record and how that will for ever impact this persons life... forever.

Or People have a massively inflated value of "official packaging" and the protection of corporate profits/intellectual privilege .

This guy did not murder anyone, this guy did not cost anyone a job, this guy did not harm anyone, even if you are correct that he was attempting to dupe recylcers into believing it was "official packaging" what is the actual harm to the world in that?
I'd be wary about running a mikrotik as a home router, but mostly because the user interface is not what I would call friendly at all unless you're already a networking person. It's not a terrible idea if you need more capability then a standard home router, but there are other options that also offer more power than home routers without quite so much visible complexity. As an example, OpenWRT on a capable router get you a more familiar command line interface and an awful lot of packages.

As far as the RCE, is SMB even enabled by default? It's an important catch and I'm not clear yet how exploitable via JS in a browser, but I can't imagine that SMB is open to the world in any router's default configuration.
It doesn't say that information cannot be _reasonably_ reconnected, but that you shouldn't be able to reconnect it at all.

I like this definition. It covers things that are AI but not ML, like DSS / rules engines. I've built two fairly sophisticated DSS before but haven't messed with ML much. It seems interesting, but I haven't had the time.

> are currently in jail were doing something that was illegal at the moment.

"Sorry, we weren't enlightened 20 years ago, so you're going to stay in jail" is an embarrassing cop-out. This is a systematic flaw in the legal system, and is unjustified. If it took decades to figure out that marijuana was wrongfully illegal, then those persecuted under such a law should be removed from incarceration at once. How can it be any other way? This is common sense.

Keeping people in prison for actions now known to be harmless is a terrible and embarrassing flaw in moral structure.

But as otakucode points out, the resulting Baby Youtubes from a broken up Youtube probably wouldn't be economically viable. Independent 'Baby Youtubes' would probably be surmounted by another nu-Youtube kicked off by the likes of Facebook or Amazon; companies that could afford to subsidize the platform to out-compete independent video platforms. It would become the Google/Youtube situation all over again. And sure, you could break that one up too, but it would just turn into a truly awful demoralizing game of wack-a-mole.

I'm far from confident that nationalization is the answer, but I don't know what is. I think we're perhaps dealing with a new sort of problem that requires a new sort of solution, that has yet to be devised.

> they have a pretty well-translated app

I tried signing up one week ago. Perhaps they've changed since you were there.

I also tried downloading the app on their website but it doesn't run on my phone (running Android 4.4.4) which I bought in China.

Edit: I still maintain an integral part of the business model of smaller bikesharing companies is collecting the deposits and using the money for other things.

> Perhaps a good question is : could big companies' R&D be made more efficient?

If it's efficient, it's not Research. The cost of the unknown has an unknown cost.

If anything, for a sufficiently large company, buying small companies is a fairly efficient way to do R&D. Unsuccessful products die at someone else's expense and you can buy the winners at a tolerable markup.
I saw a case a few years ago where the management of a company I knew were worried that the sales team were covering their mistakes and lying about it to blame the (external) dev team's code. They asked me to take a look into it one morning.

At first glance there didn't seem to be a lot to go on. There was no auditing in the application itself so I focused on the nginx logs. It's amazing how clear of a picture you can create from ip addresses, user agent strings and accessed urls.

Within an hour I could say with a high degree of certainty that the story was something like:

Sales rep makes mistake with record on Friday afternoon
Monday morning - at home, late for work
Receives call from another rep re mistake
Logs in via mobile device to see the issue
Logs in via desktop to fix broken record
Arrives at work 1.5 hours later
Claims dev team had broken the record for the weekend

There's a lot of information lurking in log files (let alone insecure dbs), and that's just the tip of the iceberg of what's stored these days. I dread to think how much personal information is stored in some of the bigger CRM apps these days.

Quite frankly I'm glad there's a push to start thinking about this stuff from the outset at the moment.
Nobody made that point and it definitely doesn't prove it.

Library Of Congress Will No Longer Archive Every Tweet

Since 2010, Library of Congress has been archiving every single public tweet: Yours, ours, the president's.

But today, the institution announced it will no longer archive every one of our status updates, opinion threads, and "big if true"s. As of Jan. 1, the library will only acquire tweets "on a very selective basis."

The library says it began archiving tweets "for the same reason it collects other materials — to acquire and preserve a record of knowledge and creativity for Congress and the American people." The archive stretches back to Twitter's beginning, in 2006.

The solutions to this problem, to a significant degree, were embodied in the 'Land of Opportunity' and the 'American Dream', very popular identities for the country. The idea was that 'only in America' did poor immigrants and natives have the opportunity to accomplish great things, and was a poor person seen as just as important and deserving as a wealthy one (an outgrowth of the rejection of aristocracy and the foundation of universal human rights - 'all men are created equal', 'liberty and justice for all').

Now it's popular (though not universal) to say immigrants are unwelcome; to cut education, health care, and other programs necessary for opportunity; and more and more power is concentrated in the hands of the wealthy. Rather than encouraged and supported in the ambition of the 'American Dream', you now hear non-wealthy people encouraged to stay within their class - don't go to college; don't dream big; learn to be a plumber.

When is the last time you heard the 'Land of Opportunity' or 'American Dream' mentioned?
