Can you confirm that the reason the password is forced is the PKCS12 (pfx) import has flagged the key as requiring a password every signature? (and it cannot be disabled).

I believe you can use mimikatz to forcibly strip the strong protection flag from the key. Microsoft says this is normally not possible, yet here we are. You might want to try downgrading the strong protection flag on the key material, it may allow for automated signing.
I see lots of positive feedback for Godot from developers, but there aren't many high profile games made with it. I looked through the showcase, and the only ones I recongised were "Deponia" (the iOS port) and "Dog Mendonça & Pizzaboy".

So it's hard to judge, I worry that it could be one of those engines that looks good initially, but has limitations that are only apparent once you're already waist-deep into a large project.

See, for example, <https://www.bizjournals.com/sanfrancisco/blog/real-estate/20..., which refers to "Supervisor Jane Kim's proposed ballot measure that would more than double the amount of affordable housing that every market-rate project over 25 units has to provide" and how "it would destroy the businesses of both market-rate and affordable developers", and yet, "Kim is standing by her proposal".

As predicted by the city economist, after this passed we saw a huge drop in the production of both BMR and market-rate units: https://medium.com/yes-in-my-blog-yes/the-25-inclusionary-ra...

Nuanced political debate may not be dead, but it is certainly being shot at. This is the second time today I've seen someone trying to end a conversation on HN because they labeled a participant as "alt-right". (There was more justification in the other case - the participant may well have been an active alt-right leader - but someone wanted them to be shunned for their off-HN identity, not for what they said here.

It's disturbing. Some people (and from what I'm seeing, it's people on the left) want to simply silence other people (on the right) rather than actually answer them. I guess it's less work that way, and maybe more satisfying as well. It's less productive, though - you miss a chance to convince the audience, and you miss a chance to persuade your opponent. You gain the chance to make the audience make sure they never say the "taboo" words in the future, though... but that's more of a totalitarian approach than a reasonable tactic for a free people.
The SE/30 is the model that came out after my first Macintosh's model. "Ancient."
The birthrate in the U.S. is the lowest it’s been in 30 years
Hey! This "simasimac" thing appears to be exactly the problem I have with my SE/30.

I was planning to get A/UX on the thing a few years ago and see what I could still do with it when the failure appeared and I kindof shelved the whole thing. Happy to have a log I can draw tips from.
There is an awesome book series by Russian author Vadim Panov - The Enclaves. I can't find any translation but here is a description. Basically companies took over some cities and separated themselves from states into so called "Enclaves". Each enclave is owned by some major enormous corporation and it also gives room and services for smaller companies. Enclave Moscow, enclave New York and so on. No government employee allowed on an Enclave territory and also government laws does not apply. They had their own Encalve Edinburgh which were responsible for security in other enclaves, it provided services, established rules and so on. Governments were really happy with situation because those Enclaves were supplying them with tech and war stuff governments wanted. No free entry/exit as well.

I don't know if it's good or bad but I feel like it is easier for me to deal with a person who's driving force is profit rather than lust for power. They seem to be more reasonable on average than powerlusters so I'd rather leave in corporate city with corporate laws provided that I can have free exit/entry if I don't like something.
I'm making observations with all publicly available information I can get my hands on.

I'm not saying Tesla's margins are 30%. I am saying that if they're able to attain their production goals, it's likely they will hit their target margin, which are above legacy automakers.
The only one of his point's I'll agree with is that strawman that GPDR would protect against a holocaust. This is similar to the gun-rights fetishists who claim that absolute rights to personal firearms ownership will prevent the next dictatorship. (your handgun will be useless against a Predator drone)

Both are anachronistic. If you live in an advanced democracy, the primary threats to loss of privacy are criminal (identity theft), and discriminatory (banks, insurance companies, employers) using personal, private information to discriminate against you.

Interjecting dire scenarios of SkyNet or Holocausts is not really helpful to the debate _in developed countries_.

Ok, I'll bring up another point. Obsession with health record privacy actually will kill people. Being able to correlate medical histories with diseases and outcomes would go a long way to developing cured or diagnostic tests. If you live in a country with guaranteed healthcare, and don't pay private insurance, it seems a ridiculous fear. I'll list my medical conditions right here: Gout, Acid Reflux, Prehypertension, abnormal liver enzymes, Gall Stones. Does it bother me one iota that any entity knows this? Not in the least. But I'll acknowledge, at least in the US, with discrimination against pre-existing conditions, or private insurance policies, this is a risky proposition. But the solution is to get single-payer healthcare in the US, not fight private insurance evils by walling off medical data that could save lives. (I'm talking about "anonymized" records of course, even though we know with sufficient effort, you can deanonymize data)
Lots of companies with lots of value are dead or irreversibly dying (that is, saving them would cost more than the entire value of the saved company).

There's nothing wrong or strange about firms specializing in extracting what can be salvaged out of the these. It's not more short-term or long-term specific than any other decision owners make about companies -- carving out viable business units that can be spun off and sold is a fundamentally long-term proposition (for the buyer and society). It's not all Michael Douglas defrauding overfunded pensions.
Ask HN:Lowest cost hware tool for: validate physical presence and online web app
Hello community, i'm trying to find a hardware solution to this problem (assume senior programming skills) :

- the lowest cost (in dollars and human processes for validator and validated)

-for several distinguishables certifications of the fact that a web app is present physically in a determinable timeframe.

So far I've came up with :

- I mount a screen placed in a determinated physical place connected to internet with 3s interval refreshing QR code that web app have to scan

- validator scan with specific app a barcode on web app (but non cheap on human cost)

- ibeacon with web bluetooth api (but only newest-ish mobile browsers)

- human validator gives a specific code input in web app

basically as simple and cheap as possible digital signature of time and place, how would you do it ?

Ideally you tell me that there is a mini 2" x 2" screen with online capabilities on batteries with juice for several months that can display qr code. To be validated web app has the incentive to scan QR code to prove the web app is present physically present "there" in a determinable datetime.

Lets brainstorm :)
There's demand but there is no supply. No serious company is going to crowdfund away actual equity. Only the very worst companies are going to go out on the street and beg randos for capital hence ICOs. The reality is that the public will never have access to high quality deals. But there is a lot of money being left on the table that is flowing into scammy ICOs and badly managed Kickstarter projects. It's really too bad the IRS has nothing on the spectrum between private foundations and highly regulated public charities. There's a case to be made for "micro-foundations" that could be crowdfunded for a common purpose and would be barred from issuing ownership shares or taking on debt. (At dissolution time all "profits" of the charity must be disbursed to another charity.) There's a real failure of imagination here at the IRS: the internet makes it ever easier people to collaborate but it's very difficult to effectively pool capital which leads to Kickstarter and ICOs both of which are very sub-optimal solutions for everybody.
The files are added in the app - it seems to work well, though I’ve seen reviews suggesting that some users have been confused by it.

It just needs to be made clear to people that no matter how much else may have changed, 35 is not the new 25 when it comes to having kids.

The only message I got when I was in my early 20s was “you have plenty of time! Make sure you’re established first!” Now it’s very unlikely that I’ll have as many children as I would like, and if I do they’ll have to come in much more rapid succession than I would prefer.
This is fantastic. I own a Macintosh Classic that still worked fine the last time I booted it up (about a year ago). I've been afraid to keep it powered on for very long lest the capacitors leak. When I get some time (probably after school) I will look at replacing all of the capacitors with tantalum. Then see about finding a way to connect it to the network.

There's so much classic Mac software out there to be used. It's actually pretty amazing how productive you can be on a machine so many orders of magnitude slower than today's computers. The low latency of the classic Mac UI is a testament to the genius and hard work of Bill Atkinson. [1]

"Actually". Ever wonder why you feel the need to insert that into your sentences? Moving on...

1. How about killing yourself? One might, if one was truly serious about reducing impact, or perhaps just to prove there is a "bigger way".

2. I don't know the name of that fallacy. You could pedantically object to any headline/finding in similar terms. "Smoking causes cancer" .. "As can be seen in graph X, the major problem is actually cigarettes, and not smoking in general."

Is the Git project expected to uproot themselves and go chasing Github or Gitlab or Gogs or whatever else is fashionable?
I actually wonder why crowd-sourced reviews have become so ubiquitous, to the point of almost being necessary (along with five-star ratings). Has anyone legitimately attempted to challenge the status quo here?

I'm reminded of videogamedunkey on YouTube and his video about game critics[0], where he goes into some detail about the preferences and integrity of the critic being just as important (if not more) than the review and rating.

Professional critics build a strong reputation around their taste and preference and they gain notoriety from doggedly sticking to those principles. So you'd likely trust the opinion of Roger Ebert or Mark Kermode if you share their taste in cinema, and even watch something you normally wouldn't if even they recommended it. You're very likely to subscribe to a publication whose critics align with your own tastes because they're effectively curating content for you in the form of recommendations.

None of that applies when you have reviews from a succession of total strangers - you're not going to research dozens or hundreds of commentators to establish a logical consistency in their point of view and decide whether or not their tastes align with yours. More often than not the reviews are low quality and low value, spread across a five-point scale but essentially treated as a binary like/didn't like system.

At that point, crowd-sourced reviews tell you nothing you didn't know already: some people enjoyed it for one reason and others didn't for a different reason. How do you know if those reasons are legit or authentic when they're not fake? How do you know if they weren't gamed or incentivised somehow to inflate expectations? Which ones can you trust?

I suppose they boost sales but just like advertising, that doesn't mean they're automatically beneficial to the consumer. It's just another attempt at manipulation.

Microsoft actually ports their software to Mac, using native APIs and idiomatic software design, for the platform:

It's pretty strongly believed that they were cut in Shakespeare's day too. Something to do with limited legal opening hours and other things that had to go in the programme meaning there simply wouldn't have been time.

I have also been told that the reason Macbeth is so short is that it was probably transcribed from the working (cut) copy of the play rather than the original draft.

> “Hypocrisy” is not one of the factors in whether something is fair use.

There is, however, the legal concept of estoppel, which is, essentially, a prohibition on legal-argument hypocrisy.

As I understand it (IANAL), it applies to much narrower situations than what we would, in general, consider to be hypocrisy, but it can still provide an advantage, especially here.

Yeah, it’s absurd. But good luck fixing it.

Whenever I tell people “the fix to SF’s housing problem is to upzone the Sunset to allow 5-story buildings full of studio & 1-bedroom apartments with little shops on the ground floor and improve transit, so that 20-somethings aren’t forced to sleep in bunk-beds 5 people to a rented 2-bedroom house with a back yard they don’t use and ride Ubers to work in heavy traffic”, they look at me like I’m crazy, and insist the solution is stricter low-income housing requirements and stronger protections against eviction.

This “world class city” is zoned to be a sleepy beach town.

Doesn’t help that the whole rest of the Bay Area is mostly zoned the same way.

Too bad GitHub was out of the question just because it's not open source. I don't think there is a single platform out there that has done more for the open source community than GitHub. Most of the great OSS projects are on it and it helped democratize open source participation by providing a very nice UI and a set of robust tools that simply didn't exist before.
Allow me to join you both. I've never done this but I always wanted to. Email in profile as well.

What tech do you guys plan to use exactly, for a start?
My Canon M5's WiFi actually "just works" and does what you want : view and download images to the phone in the field. It also uses the phone's GPS to geotag images. This is with an Android phone -- the workflow isn't as smooth with iOS apparently because Apple doesn't allow apps to drive the WiFi association. The phone maintains a BT connection to the camera and uses that as a side channel by which it coordinates an on-demand WiFi association.

Previous generations were not so easy to use -- my 6D does work but lacks the auto-connect via BT feature. Presumably the 6D2 has that though.
Why developers need to be able to identify technologies with staying power

Ed Lee proposed a plan a while back to not base business tax on what we pay our employees but to look at company's revenue/sales amount, and sector. For example schools would have a lower business tax.

He also proposed instead of a flat tax, it would be progressive like income tax. Larger companies would pay a higher effective rate than small ones in the same sector but the Board of Supervisors didn't approve.

The City of SF has trust of over $24 billion and also administers a defined benefit retirement plan for ~65,000 current & retired employees of SF. And the President of the Retirement board who manages 24 Billion I believe is not someone from Goldman or finance background but a police officer?

SF priorities: Get electric bikes and scooters out of SF but create an unsafe city and homeless to walk around naked and dropping their poop and needles everywhere is okay
This is somewhat confused.

As far as I know, we don't have ravening hordes of scooter-poopers (regardless of housing status). Some folks pooped on them as a statement, pics went around.

Yes, especially in SOMA, where both the homeless and the scooters are plentiful, one encounters poop. But otherwise, there's no real relation.

The scooters are somewhere between annoying and a menace, depending. I tripped over one two days ago; there's a dark stretch on my block, so of course that's where someone dropped the damn thing.

My issue is with people who think the commons is there to be exploited. If your business is going to occupy and use public space, it needs to do so only with the consent of those impacted. It not, why shouldn't I start occupying the sidewalks to hawk my goods and services, too? Why stop there - there's a lot of street to take over, too, not to mention all those parks, just waiting to be DISRUPTED!

I find it especially ironic that the homeless, forced to live on the sidewalks, are being blamed for problems with scooters, whose owners are competing with the homeless for the space.

Haven't taken part, but I have no issue with the folks who have been destroying the scooters. It is a useful form of feedback.
On the other hand Github could also become the next sourceforge.
I never considered this, but actually reserving IP addresses and telephone numbers for using in examples and fiction (as listed in the Example domains and names section) must be necessary.

If electricity were easily stored and transported, you might have a case that renewable power is always more expensive.

But renewable power is sometimes generated in inconvenient places or times. For example, the power lines needed might not be built yet, or it might be using the wind blowing at night. Sometimes crypto mining is in the best position to take advantage of that.
This is a very misleading stat and often repeated by SF leaders to divert tax money to the problem. The way the question is structured is that "where were you living before being homeless" and the answer would almost 100% be SF. Because you move to SF and may be spend a month in SRO and become homeless.

That sounds like more of a zoning issue. You can't just build an apartment somewhere because you own the land.
Thank you for asking!

We're aware of some community-supported packages (brew, AUR) and there are contributed scripts in the OSS repository as well (rpm) but we're a bit hesitant to recommend `apt-get upgrade` path because Teleport has a recommended upgrade sequence documented here:

https://gravitational.com/teleport/docs/admin-guide/#upgrade...

I.e. you have to upgrade your auth/audit servers first. Some (too many?) folks run an equivalent of `apt upgrade/update` on their entire fleet, which makes it incompatible with the recommended upgrade sequence. OS distro managers aren't really optimized for multi-host software, they are too host-centric.

Besides, Teleport is a single binary, i.e. hopefully it's not too hard for users to get it right.

Either way, we're keeping this conversation open:
https://github.com/gravitational/teleport/issues/514
Yeah, I think for many engineers at the top companies they'd still come out way ahead even if they spent $100k more in rent. But realistically, rent is not that much higher. Maybe $20-40k more per year, depending on where you come from and how big your place (and family) is.
Almost 100% of homeless are Americans.
