That won't really work for the scenario they try to "protect" against.

When you copy some js files that include their license checking code to your server and them serve it to your clients, your clients need to block qeys.io, not you.

You can instruct clients to do that of course, but it's rather easy for one of them to forget and the copyright holder is noticed.

Still, blocking qeys.io by default on your system sounds like a good idea :)
I don't think the primary purpose of qeys.io is to block users of the webapp. The purpose of qeys.io is to block customers (not users) from hosting the webapp without your permission.
It's probably possible to do speech recognition with much less power / computation, if you don't care about its reliability. For the purpose of targeting ads it doesn't really matter if you get it wrong, as long as you improve the probability of getting it right.

That said, the article lacks any conclusive evidence this is happening. It's a scary prospect that it could happen though.
>Consider the person that could have, but didnt, live a lavish lifestyle and instead responsibly saved. Then a benefit (which they paid into, and maybe rely upon) is removed after the fact? Bad news.

Such a person wouldn't be able to live a "lavish lifestyle" with the benefits alone - that's not what they're for. And if they saved up throughout their entire life then they wouldn't depend on those benefits in the first place, and could likely live far more lavishly than the average recipient, anyway.

So what's your alternative? I don't know of any environment easier than installing Node. I type 'n latest', and yarn add/install. Done.

Which complexity is actually necessary? Does it change when you have 400gbit, SSDs, and watchOSes? How about 1TB of core memory? If we aren't wrangling with handling 75 spinning disk's connected to a 10mbit network with 13" blurry CRT monitors, perhaps we don't need to discuss the finer points of engineering efficient client/server LOB applications? Perhaps we ought to discuss MDM, RF, ML, and lifestyle impacts.

This is all just the process of evolution at play. What seems obvious today wasn't yesterday - applies to biology, material science, medicine, engineering, art, music, architecture, design, taxi services, marketing, government, politics, and so why shouldn't it be so in computing?

Sidenote: I love the humility of this video. I remember the days when node was first unleashed. I could not have imagined how it has changed the way we all work. It all seemed so obvious from day one, and here we are today. What a brilliant contribution.
That’s totally backwards. Most people do their jobs because it pays the bills. Most people don’t have careers, with some glorious internal narrative in which they’re the protagonist. They have jobs. If they’re lucky or good spirited, they’ll find satisfaction or even enjoyment in their work. But they work because it gives them the means to get what they need and do at least some of what they really want to do.
FOAM and the Dream to Map the World on Ethereum
An important thing to note here is that they were served with a "Summons for Records," not a warrant. With a warrant the DHS has to provide probable cause, it has to be signed off on by a judge, and cannot be refused. A summons has none of those things; it can absolutely be refused, at which point they would have to get a warrant.

I'd also like to add that I don't have an ethical problem with a VPN company that keeps logs and turns them over to law enforcement with a valid warrant. Lying about keeping logs, though, I do find unethical, as well as not requiring a warrant for access.

I also think that explicitly not keeping logs to protect users from law enforcement is shady to say the least. If law enforcement has a valid warrant, I don't have an issue with providing them with the data they need to find and prosecute.

Interesting analysis, but it's wrong.

Hope this helps.

I'm just disagreeing that it's "really hard" for languages besides JavaScript. Concurrency in Go is stupid easy, it's built into the language. Pretty sure Elixir is the same story. C++ and Rust are slightly more difficult but still nowhere near "really hard" when it comes to making a socket server that can serve hundreds of thousands.

Here's a nice WebSocket server in C++:

Honest question: What sort of embedded hardware deals with millions of requests a second? I wouldn't have thought that kind of utility was the same domain as "embedded" (in the stricter sense of the term).

Granted you could expand the term to cover hardware load balancers and the sort, but those wouldn't really be running websites so much as routing and caching them. Aside from that, you have management interfaces for embedded devices but they're typically used infrequently and only by a small subset of users. Plus a surprising number of them are just written in PHP or Perl.

But maybe there is a whole industry out there I've overlooked? You've got me curious.
Why on earth would you be streaming 320kbps?

Roughly telephone-equivalent bitrate is <100kbps, potentially down to 8kbps or so for (bad) speech.

Noise-gating or even rudimentary voice detection (sound is a voice, not random ambient) can reduce that duty cycle to a tiny fraction.

So you could get a lot of useful information out for <100MB/day.

If you wanted to be sneaky, there are probably viable ways of hiding it from casual detection; buffering locally and appending to user-uploads (images, video, voice) when there's already data flowing.

Or do some pre-processing on the device to slim it down even more. Maybe only when it's on external charge to avoid running the battery down too far.

I'm not suggesting this is actually happening, but it's far more plausible than your estimates suggest.

I know this is a highly speculative question.
Conventional paper-type legal agreements exist already for this kind of thing, and will mature further as jurisprudence and experience are developed. They don't introduce much centralization that I can think of. They are mostly P2P agreements about the guarantees given to token holders.

On top of that, smart contract mediated investments can have much more additional guarantees. Projects like Aragon are creating DAO governance UIs that are on-chain, usable (from a UX perspective) and transparent for token holders. They allow holders to vote on transfers of funds, or monthly capital allocation, with the possibility to withdraw funds if they deem the operation of companies irresponsible. This a programmable financial infrastructure: the tools are there to build whatever you can come up with in terms of governance.

Besides DAO governance platforms, what will compel executives, for the cases where this applies, is the same thing that compels them right now: financial incentives, and the threat of prosecution. Are the guarantees comparable to those you get from a CEO on a NYSE traded company? Not by a long shot, this is the wild west right now.

But in keeping with the "Internet of Money" metaphor from my other comment, lack of controls and accountability didn't prevent Wikipedia from displacing the Encyclopedia Britannica.
Long story short, it has a bunch of awesome unique features that’ll make your trading life much easier.

1. Color coded market overview, so you can see coins price movements without clicking through all charts.

2. Automagical calculation of all your portfolio numbers, profits and loses, average buy prices (even cross-currency!), etc. No more Excel, no more manual calculations — forget it!

3. Best charting solution from TradingView. And moreover, you can trade right on the chart!

4. Carefully crafted notification system will notify you via Telegram about major coins price movement, significant changes of your portfolio, and manual alerts that you‘ve set. You can stop watching every tick of your assets‘ prices. We‘ll take care of it and inform you upon important moves.

5. Evaluate your trading performance just by looking on automagically calculated gains from trades. In percents, in coins, in USD. (And it’s even bidirectional! If you sell 1 BTC for $8000 and bought back for $7000 — it will show you that gain of ~0.14 BTC.)

6. And it’s mobile ready. You can trade on the go, anytime, anywhere.

7. And it‘s well-secured! All the sensitive data is stored highly encrypted. And 2FA.

8. Currently, Binance only. More exchanges to come soon.

One species of gatekeeper (control freak) won't write things down.

Another insists that if it's not documented, it didn't happen.

These challenges have confounded me all my working life.

My few truly positive working experiences happened when there was mutual trust, regard, esteem. First time it happened, I was gobsmacked. I'd read about trust, but had never seen it IRL. It was a never ending warm fuzzy bath of shared awesomeness.

I still have few ideas how to find, nurture, create trust (especially in a chaotic env). But I now know it when I see it. And when I'm not feeling it, I mostly just go thru the 9-5 motions, keeping my expectations and investments lower.

Exactly, and with the "moving to Gitlab" comments of the past few days, the switching cost is (at present) still really low. Only once something changes will the need to move increase (if it ever does).

That being said, I've only ever put my repositories on Gitlab because of the free private ones, although the vast majority of libraries I used are on GH.
I alternately contract and consult, and I wouldn't think it necessary to tell a client that, if they endorse yelling as interaction, I'm not sticking around. That's normal-people stuff--they should already know Because healthy environments don't do that.

It definitely works. I just did it a couple of years ago.

In fact, no matter how long I left it in the freezer, I couldn't get all the data off. I ended up freezing it in the freezer, then putting it in a small cooler with a couple ice packs, with the wires hanging out between the cooler and lid. That gave me just enough to grab all the data (well, really, a couple of not-so-small VHDX files).

It was much fun, like a science experiment in high school.
It's like the people who say, English isn't my first language and then proceed to type a well written essay - stop showing off!
Yes, this didnt seem like it was useful for daily use.

48 hours without sleep isnt realistic for most cases, and I dont think these results have anything to say about daily caffeine.

Also, I think the best advice is to learn your body. I cycle caffeine every few months. 2 cups all at once before I need 5 hours of productivity.
This is my advice too - I usually don't play music in my headphones, but then I can ignore people when they're talking to me for the first couple of seconds, and then i can look up and they have to start over. It's mean, but effective.
if it's for internal use, you most likely have access to the DNS-server the clients are using, not an unlikely scenario when it comes to licensed code like this i would imagine.

Yes, this is essentially what I've witnessed. I went to a very exclusive private high school in the US and the students from India there were top notch. Same in college. This was in the 90s. In the 2000s, our 2nd DBA at a very well known company was from India and he was top notch as well.

I think what happened is some not so ethical business people in India decided to make money off the good reputations of the Indians already working for US companies and built their companies off that. Instead of finding good Indian developers, they hired whomever they could find to take the job and presented them as top talent. US MBA's not knowing any better (what's new) couldn't resist the low cost and jumped all over it. Of course not being able or willing to admit a mistake, this ruse went on for two decades.

The aftermath is the good Indian talent now has a tarnished (severely) reputation, and businesses now have no strong internal systems development teams; nor have no idea how to recreate one.

Greedy capitalism is a global phenomenon. The greedy US companies got duped by the greedy Indian companies, and everyone lost. Good US teams lost by getting severely thinned out. Good Indian developers lost their reputation. US businesses lost their ability to develop even basic quality internal software. Indian companies seem to be losing out on the market as well.
Then the business must be willing to pay generously.
I'm going to need a citation that 20% of the US population are college-educated professionals. Any way you want to slice it: of voting-age, registered, or that actually went to vote.

I'm actually curious what is the real percentage, but it's got to be way less than 20%. You surround yourself with people like you, but there's a lot of people and the world is big.
Ask HN: Summer coding challenges for Pre-Teens?
I have an 11 year old son that loves programming. He’s really into game development and has a decent handle on Unity, C#, Java w/ LWJGL, python/pygame and a bit of JavaScript. He’s good at reading tutorials and exploring, but I would like to have him be able to work on a full project. Are there any good programs out there for precocious programmer kids? Emphasis on kid; I’m kinda keen on him having a little bit more time for childhood innocence...
I've been working remote for 3 years now in software and I agree completely.

The biggest downsides are: loneliness, feeling like a shut in, and working all the time because you're only two steps from your "office". These are NP-hard problems to solve, especially for an introverted 4-eyes like me.
I also did the same and from a dev standpoint, Chrome is far ahead. FF makes it difficult to even use breakpoints or alter psuedo styles in the browser, which is really needed for a lot of development work.

Money and power. Technical tracks don't really have much of a growth path in India, and especially in service firms, where the work itself doesn't really add much to your technical skillsets.

Often the challenging/interesting bits in those scenarios are done by the US/European/Australian office, and only the implementation details are left to the Indian workers. That isn't conducive to being valued as an engineer.

Management tracks also have higher salaries. If you want to continue in engineering and still make good money, you get a H1B or equivalent and move.

Yeah, but combination of ingridents might affect it. "Monster Energy" does nothing for me. I can drink it and go to sleep. Mountain Dew will keep me more alert than it, Coffee keeps me more alert than Mountain Dew, and "Gridlock" energy drink from Aldi (knockoff of Monster Energy) is almost as good as Coffee. Different people react differently. If I need to stay up at night, only Coffee or Gridlock will do the trick.
Will be trying this.

My only note is that none of those things seem hard for someone that works out.

What is the intensity for these things? I can do about 60 pushups before they start to get hard and run for 30 minutes.

Do you need it to be intense? Or just do some exercise?

Here's one thing Node and npm are great at and NuGet fails at completely: local development of two packages. With npm, I can use "npm link" to redirect a package reference to a local folder. With NuGet, the best you an do is edit the .csproj and change the nuget reference to a project reference (if you can find the original source code). This makes simple step-through debugging across package boundaries a chore every time, whereas a source-based package system doesn't have this issue.
> who cares what the public thought about Theranos - the public didn't lose money here.

I beg to differ. Straight from the article:

> Some patients were rushed to a hospital on the basis of erroneous readings, only to be sent home when their blood was properly analyzed by the hospital. Even worse, Theranos was using brutal intimidation tactics against its own employees to stop the truth from coming out.

I don't know about your location but American citizens pay quite a premium for hospital care. Imagine the potential for crippling debt all because of a test result which should have been known to produce false positives.

That's definitely the public losing money here.
Meh, not really an issue.

Paying is not the only problem with using commercial tools, specially in the context of costumers and their own infrastructure.

> You don't find Kubernetes needlessly complicated? Do you actually need Docker or Kubernetes?

Kubernetes is complicated but what it does is very complex. Yes I do need it because if you have many costumers and many environments not using Kubernetes is 10x more complicated. That said we done require it but having it easily available would be very useful when considering using it in the company.

Having docker to run on the local machine is way preferable to other setups. I have not used a natively installed mysql or oracle db for testing in a long time. Given how tricky the setup for Datomic it would make things easier.
