In conversations about ad-blocking a common idea that comes up is that "you look at the sites -> so there's value in them -> so you should be paying for them". I don't follow this chain of logic. Firstly, it presumes that humans are perfectly rational machines and that we only do things that we want to do, or that are valuable to us. This does not match my experience of reality. Often the main reason we choose to visit a site is because a link to it has been put in front of us. A lot of the time this is largely due to the site's PR/marketing budget. So we've only ended up at the site in the first place because the site wanted us there... then they act put out by our presence and consumption of their hallowed content and demand we allow marketeers' manipulations into our psyches in return.

Most websites (say as a completely unsubstantiated, overgenerous guess: 99% of them) don't need to exist. internetlivestats says that there are 1.8B websites, 200M active. So even if as few as 1% managed to stay alive without ad support, that's between 2M and 18M websites still left to look at. I'd find something to read in there.

Choosing to visit a website is generally extremely passive. We look at the front page of HN (for example), make a few micromovements of our fingers and now we have dozens of tabs full of stuff to read. We didn't wake up that morning desperate to read any of those things, our existence wouldn't be negatively affected if went to bed that night not having read them.

Some people (especially those who currently make money from ads on sites) seem to think we're desperate for them to exist and that's why we put up with their ads. It even materialises into weird threats sometimes "wait and see what happens when we stop operating because you wouldn't watch our adverts"). Bring that world on, I say. There was plenty of content on the early internet before everybody saw it as a way to make money.

People who create content online for business reasons (either to directly make money or to keep their business relevant and known) then act as if they are obliged to make them for the good of society. If it's that difficult and expensive, and you don't want to do it for the joy of it, just stop. Don't pretend you're doing it for altruistic reasons.
I do agree that the negatives of dragnet surveillance disproportionately harms society - much greater than the net-positives. I just don't feel like we have enough transparency to correctly scale that bar graph.
Well it's really well done whatever you used, most PWA's fall over with FF Android but yours doesn't.

I'm thinking of doing a PWA in the near future for work system so I'll keep an eye out for your stuff :).
Another more secure option is just to only allow key auth.
I think you mean just use key-based authentication only ;)
Vue feels much more like the natural successor to angular 1 than angular 6 or react are. The least ceremony to getting sh## done framework. React is just a view layer. You are going to have to pull in libraries for routing and state management (at least)

I spent 3 months evaluating all 3 with a poc app and vue was the clear winner for me

>Organizations, especially ones in the public eye, have to set a higher bar for acceptable behavior than the criminal justice system.

Not really, and not their job. If we wanted that, we could always set a higher bar for the criminal justice system.

>Lots of bad behaviors aren't criminal, or aren't usually prosecuted, but should still be grounds for removal.

In this case we're not talking about chewing gum on a board meeting, or treating employees bad (e.g. shouting at them) or something like that.

We're talking about actual criminal behaviors -- but only "alleged" ones. Those should be handled legally or not at all.

Else not a point in having a legal system, if any accusation can lead to "mob justice" or ad-hoc measures against someone.

To add some context, the affected software is a company's proprietary, closed-source website.

In this case, there is no way of doing a full disclosure without making it somewhat easy to attack.
Even if I only warned the media about this (without even mentioning the "how"), it would make someone else find the flaws in a matter of hours (attack surface is limited) and likely start exploiting them anyway.

I really don't want to publish anything; even my data would be exposed and there's nothing I can do about it.
What are your best UX tips?
FreeOTP hasn't been updated in years. I recommend andOTP, it has more updates and features.
I would be very interested to know the tech they use to transcribe different languages and dialects into text for search and retrieval later on.
After writing this one out, this reminds me of the Monty Hall problem. In this case my guess is that you use a prior -- assume the two unknown numbers are A & B, and then assume a random integer yourself C.

From there, if A (the first revealed number) is less than C, then that narrows the remaining cases giving you a 2/3 chance. If A is greater than C, that also narrows the remaining cases and gives you a 2/3 chance as well.

On a number line, the cases are below.

If A > C then the six originally equally possible cases are narrowed to three cases:

A-----B-----C (impossible)

A-----C-----B (impossible)

B-----A-----C (impossible)

B-----C-----A B < A

C-----A-----B B > A

C-----B-----A B < A

So you would guess B < A -- the first hand's number is higher with probability 2/3.

If A < C then the six originally equally possible cases are also narrowed to three cases:

A-----B-----C B > A

A-----C-----B B > A

B-----A-----C B < A

B-----C-----A (impossible)

C-----A-----B (impossible)

C-----B-----A (impossible)

So you would guess B > A -- the first hand's number is lower with probability 2/3.
That was fantastic. It is rare for someone to speak so publicly about such feelings. I felt that it was coming from the heart. A real connection.

> If you break them, you contribute nothing to resolving any social issue—all it does is rile up the other side and fan flames—but you do contribute to destroying this community. That's bad for all of us.

You allow flamebait political and ideological posts which riles up one side, which you then censor for being mean, but leave the flamebait post or comment up.

If you wanted HN to be civil, all you would need to do is to move the political stuff into it's own section.
Blockchain solves the distributed consensus problem. One could imagine a decentralized game where its clients are distributed, no central server to control everything. It would probably have to be a relatively slow game, not realtime.

Yes, I did some translation work for a global engineering company whose approach to achieving "zero fatal accidents" was exactly what you suggest. Instead of placing the blame on people for not following the rules, they identify the ultimate cause and fix the problems with their systems that made the accident possible in the first place.
Dunno, how much memory and storage does the network have?

The CERN grid currently[1] has 1 EB of storage and 750k of CPUs, and that pushes out 2 million jobs per day. From own experience of one of the 162 sites, you have something like 6 GB of ram per CPU core, and often jobs need more than that so that in practice you are memory bound.

Those problems always bothered me. I think that for any sequence of numbers there is an infinite number of next-in-sequence solutions regardless of the sequence length or numbers contained. One may be more obvious but you can put any number next and find a pattern that matches. Example - what if those are a sequence of digits in pi.
There is a tremendous difference between "we have three servers so our stuff probably won't go down" and "the system could theoretically remain in use forever even if we disappeared from the world".

It's getting that way. We never had the housing price crash that the US had in the late 2000s. Things have continued to climb, and it's getting ridiculous.

Once you make enough money you can sell off a bootstrapped business or at worse just run it out for cash.
Not hard to understand, you’re just the issue I’m referring to, a leech that is bad for the eco system. At least you admit to it.

You’re general statement is, I want to use something and I don’t care if they make money.

If you don’t want to see ads, don’t use something. Thanks for displaying my point on the issue with people’s mindset on the thai topic.

They don’t matter to me, as I don’t make my living this way, but they do matter to me because poeple cant benefit from making cool things because of the mindset you’ve displayed here.
>I think this is attributing too much agency to "government". Voters wanted slavery, and so public officials supported it.

The voters vote what they're told to -- and they're told to by those in power who can pay for campaigns, have their pals in party positions, etc.

Plus, the voters get all kinds of stuff that benefit the powerful that they never explicitly asked or voted for, and that were never on any platform. Even whole wars can be promoted onto them...

Besides, there were tons of dirt poor whites picking cotton in the South. And they had no slaves, the were closer to slaves themselves...

It's more poor vs rich, than white vs black. Even if poor whites were also racist, those plantations weren't owned by poor white folk either...
$200+? 2015? Well it kind of depends what you mean by good enough.

Out of all the Phone I tried, including latest Android, only the iPhone X came close to being fast enough, as in super responsive. I think iOS 11 actually slows things down for everyone, the whole OS is slower then iOS 10, even on iPhone X, which we can't test with iOS 10.

I really wish we could start to focus on Latency Computing. I want things to have a responsive output, or reaction to my input in less then 16ms.
I'm a SlimSocial user. I'd want FB to stop trying to force the fucking Facebook Messenger app onto Android users on the "touch.facebook.com" interface.

Not all that weird if you look at it this way: elegance is that which solves the problem at hand with the minimum amount of fuss and materials. That's strongly tied to purpose.

I believe this. I’ve had at&t business connections that black hole certain IPs and ranges because they (incorrectly) use them internally. What’s worse is their own techs spend a large amount of time troubleshooting because it’s not clear to them.
It's less "land of plenty" than it is the federal government paying for big bedrooms instead of universal healthcare and a proper social safety net. As part of the post-depression New Deal and especially after WWII, single-family housing was very heavily subsized by the federal government. However, these policies were coupled with segregationist housing restrictions that pretty much excluded non-white Americans from the rise of suburbia in the 50s. While white suburban families were accumulating wealth through home ownership and mortgage equity, black families (as well as rural Americans who didn't see many of the benefits of the industrial boom of the 40s and 50s) were increasingly pushed into poverty.

Bitcoin is also backed by the same physical force of the state.

Otherwise armed groups would seize the miners or break into the exchanges and use physical force to steal the bitcoin.
> HN does have ads, in the form of job posts for the YC companies.

I don't really agree with how you're defining portfolio company job links as ads.

AFAIK they do not charge portfolio companies for job links, so is it really an ad if they don't charge for it / it generates no revenue? The companies and tech mentioned in their descriptions are often just as interesting as other stories posted here. They are more in a gray area of content marketing or sponsored content than native advertising.

I suppose you could make an argument around it potentially increasing the value of their equity stake in a company by making that company more valuable. It seems a bit roundabout — I don't consider them ads any more so than a link to your blog post is an "ad" for your blog, or the comment posts in the monthly job threads are "ads".
Honestly, best case for being in Waterloo is come work for Google Waterloo. If you can get through the interview you won't find a better opportunity anywhere. Working for the FANG in the Valley sucks compared to working for the FANG while having Kitchener-Waterloo living costs.

Or go work for Google in SV and then transfer back here after a few years.

What benefit does port knocking add to having a key auth only setup?
More like learning to use a slide rule :) You still have to learn how to setup a load balancer (API Gateway), firewall (IAM, API Gateway), Server Config (CloudFormation, API Gateway, S3, etc) and so on. And those are Vendor specific. Move to Azure or GC and you have a whole new set of "serverless" servers to learn to configure. About the only thing you have really given up is knowing where your machines are physically.
The point of a job is to allow you to put your own time beyond your own use and use it to serve others.

This simple 'proof of burn' of your finite life is what gives the money exchange value.

If you want others to give up their time to produce a surplus for you then you need to do the same. Otherwise they'll just take the productivity themselves and have Friday off.
This is not necessarily the case. If you are bootstrapping you can afford to go at a slower pace that is more compatible with life outside of crazy pace of investor backed startups.

I personally bootstrapped mark II of my business while working full time with a wife and family who all thought I was crazy. It just took me a little longer than if I had been working 100 hours a week with a co-founder.

One of the good things about going slower is you have more time to think through problems and you can get by with less feedback from others (i.e. you have the time to solve your own problems).
> I sincerely doubt the argument that dragnet surveillance has no effect.

It almost certainly does. Whilst congress makes some pretty ludicrously predictably bad decisions, there must be some reports of the NSA's effectiveness. It's just whom it benefits that's in doubt. Let's face it: the number of homicides in general absolutely dwarf the maximum potential of terrorist attacks without NSA intervention.

I would argue the purpose of the NSA as a system is what it does, not what it is claimed it does. It seems extremely unlikely to me that the NSA is even remotely about preventing terrorist attacks. With a more complete understanding of the state and its origins, it seems far more likely that the NSA is about protecting the state than the people. If it is protecting people, it is the people the state is there to protect.

I live in the UK where we get some limited news about attacks stopped by dragnet surveillance. We also have a culture where many are supportive of the security services no matter what they are doing and anybody who challenges this must be a terrorist or more recently a russian bot. Many of the cases that have been stopped seem incredibly unlikely to have yielded a viable attack. State press releases here are almost Verhoeven-esque propaganda, but in this case I really can't see what they stand gain by downplaying the allegedly plotted attacks the security services allegedly thwarted. Plus we will never know how many of these attacks were constructed by the state by means of entrapment.

If the NSA is not about preventing terrorism and never was, what is it about? Let's look at what it does: it surveils people and receives and shares information with other countries agencies. We know it attempts to render as much information transparent as it can, exploiting defective cryptosystems. Viewed from the perspective that it is a defence force for the state, it is effectively military. If you really believe the military is to protect you, and not the state, you've obviously never given much thought to the perversity of conscription.
Pretty much nails this on the head. The FED failed at its mission and is due for disruption. Considering how poorly our democratic system is working, it's too going to come from private or open source industry.

>Could you explain what you mean by enslaving as prisoner?

It means having 25% of the world's prison population but only 4% of the world's population.

It means being a prison state.

It means using BS reasons, like marijuana possession, to imprison a large part of your population.

It means predominantly giving long prison sentences for small offenses, just because of an "Old Testament" idea of revenge -- that is carried forward in the culture from the days of the nutty religious minorities that established the country.

It means having absurd legal constructs, like "3 strikes" laws.

It means exploiting prisoners for free labor, and having private prisons, and other such practices, and being the shame of the western world (and large part of the developing world) in this area.

It means people casually joking of people getting raped or attacked in your prisons.

It means still having the death penalty in 2018.

And other such things...
“Manager READMEs” from some tech companies

I'm also from Canada, but I have a very different experience from the other posts. I live in Quebec and speaking french as a primary language. I am still a CS student, but from what I have seen (I am involved a lot with other universities) the retention rate in Quebec is much higher. Only a minority is leaving Quebec for internships or jobs later on. Even if most of us speak perfectly fine english the culture is very different. I see very good people accepting 40-50k salaries for junior positions. Making a lot of money in Quebec is kind of taboo, so seeking a high salary is not well seen.
Last thing, our education system is basically free (1600 CAD per semester). After 3 years of university most of people in CS have at least 10-12k in their savings already.
If someone has numbers for Quebec only, I would not be surprised too see the emigration isn't really an issue.
