There is absolutely merit to discussing ideas that you disagree with. And in particular to this context, I personally found lots of value in Atlas Shrugged. Often it lead to me disagree with her philosophy. If anything, reading things that you disagree with allows you to intelligently refute claims instead of vaguely claiming that someone is incorrect and refusing to engage. That is a sure fire way to make people dig into their beliefs.

Her ideal man was a criminal to kidnapped a little girl, extorted her father for money, then took the money and ditched the little girls dismembered body and took the money and ran because he refused to live by societies rules.

EDN is fantastic. It wasn't super portable last I looked though.
I generally agree with your statement, though I include how a particular piece of logic may effect data integrity.

For example, lets say I have an accounting system with a general ledger structured with a header table (row per journal entry) and a child detail table (row per GL Account with either debited or credited amount) and the idea that journal entries need to be "posted" to be considered part of the business transactional history. I may have a business rule that says: I can never post a journal entry that isn't balanced (debits must equal credits). It is always invalid to have a posted and unbalanced journal entry.

Assuming that the posting status is recorded in the header table, I may well write a trigger on the header table which, on updating the posted status of the header record to posted, checks that all of the detail lines sum up to a balanced journal entry and aborts the transaction if that rule is not met. This is a de facto encapsulation of business logic, but one important to data integrity. Sure I can also use a stored procedure, but I may want to have a trigger to be involved because of the difference between an active and passive application of the rule: a stored procedure for posting requires an explicit call... but just doing an UPDATE against the table won't call my stored procedure (or other application code for posting) whereas a trigger forces the issue. In many of the enterprise environments that I work in, the main accounting application is not the only way data gets into the database so I can't rely on those explicit calls to always be made to enforce the rules... the database is the final authority and forcing it there can also eliminate a class of issues. I may well have my trigger call my posting stored procedure if that procedure were written the right way...

Yes, I'm taking other issues like performance as granted as well, but I mostly wanted to show another aspect to consideration related to trigger use. [edit] Perhaps a more fine tuned approach is to say business logic which doesn't change data, but ensures rules should be met or the transaction is cancelled, helps with the side-effect issue you cite.

You are correct - developing nations such as China, India, and many countries in Africa do need more people in order to grow.

Unfortunately, current models show their growth ending before they are wealthy.

In other words - there's a good chance these countries will get old before they get rich.

China is #1 example of this:

(Not the OP.) I'm using Tor Browser on a desktop/laptop. I'm seeing different problems:

(1) Rate-limiting: My regular account (this is a throwaway) has thousands in karma, but after around 4 comments I still get the 'you're posting too fast' rate limiter. Perhaps HN could disable rate-limiting after the Tor user has a certain amount of karma.

(2) Comments seem penalized, starting in the middle of threads instead of at the top. This issue has come and gone a couple of times (it's happening now on my regular account). It seems to stop when I have had an interaction with the mods; I wonder if they notice and disable it. It seems to restart after I get several downvotes in a short period; perhaps that triggers some algorithm which decides that comments over Tor are shady.

(3) Registering accounts requires a captcha and is frustrating, though something I rarely have to deal with. To register this throwaway account I got a captcha, completed it, approved. HN said the username as taken, and when I entered another username the process started over - another captcha. Then the username was too long, so I started over again.

There's no moral obligation to work without pay, even for one day, even if you've gotten "promises" that you'll be made whole. An ethical company would send him home if they didn't know they could pay him or not, whatever the reason. If they need him to work THAT DAY because of some corporate "emergency", they should pay him cash on the barrelhead or make a similar arrangement, until they can get his regular paychecks going again.

As advice to a worker in this situation, it certainly makes sense to gut it out and take the risk of doing work without pay. It's, for most people, probably a much smaller risk than risking getting "really" fired without first having another job lined up.

But to me it sounds like these guys are making battery powered cars and the sabetour worked in a battery plant..

Doesn’t that mean that if the battery line was sabotaged then they’d be unable to ship cars that need those batteries?

Or was it alleged that there were direct and tangible sabotages committed against the cars directly?

Maybe so! I personally theorize you are correct, but more importantly, we should agree the effects are both significant and problematic well beyond the limits of such a scope.

Let’s consider the causes, potentials, and limits associated with addressing the given concerns.

If critical theory has it’s way, the explosion of positivity is part of a built-in feature of commercial capitalism which incentivizes avoiding the problems itself creates. The ceiling on mitigating socially implemented racism is dependent on mitigating the economically implemented racism which associates identity with class, which defines our experiences and therefore our stereotypes.

Given the economic incentive to avoid economic explanations, the cost of disproportionate blame deserves strategic consideration.

XML has many of the same security problems that YAML does, and even some additional ones.
Comments and trailing commas. If those two features were added, I would use JSON for configuring everything. Naked keys would be a distant third. My conclusion is to use TOML or the protocol buffer text format.

I've been slowly ripping out YAML support and converting configurations to TOML.

There's a law firm taking complaints against Coinbase and wrapping them up into a class action.[1] PACER shows multiple lawsuits against Coinbase. Arbitrations are confidential, but there are probably some of those, too; Coinbase puts an arbitration clause in their contracts.

Arbitrary package attack - fixed >4 years ago, requires explicit config to enable downgrade, but some distros screw that up

Replay and Freeze attacks -- Ouch! sounds like every repo should set an aggressive Valid-Until (24 hours?). This attack still works with a compromised SSL mirror, and seems (according to the link below) to already be addressed as of at least 5 months ago

Extraneous Dependencies -- sounds like a bug in apt, also manifests for a compromised TLS mirror.

Endless Data -- nothing to do with GPG or TLS

Improper error handling in APT -- 18 month old bug

apt-key silently fails to remove GPG keys -- unfortunate and doubtlessly due to gnupg's lack of a real API

Conclusion -- at least 3 of the listed bugs manifest identically with SSL, another 2 are fixable implementation bugs. None are issues endemic to using GPG in preference to SSL, and none exclusively support the article's conclusion to always use SSL. Post fails to contrast the GPG bugs situation with the fact that e.g. Heartbleed occurred during the same timeframe as the bugs that were mentioned, one of many crucial factors in deciding the relative security of either solution, post additionally fails to mention with GPG the root of trust is the repository signer, which is still required with SSL, SSL only protects 'last mile' and specifically does not protect against a compromised mirror

I must admit though, the replay attack is scary and a very nice find.

I don't think that's too unreasonable. I only spent a short amount of time with iOS, but I soon gained the impression that it was unintuitive and that there was perhaps an emphasis on superficially clever stuff at the expense of keeping on top of fundamental user expectations and patterns. Things like 3D Touch don't matter to me when the user experience is much more constrained by a philosophy that discourages customisation and convention.

There is only one way to study meditation. Do it.

There is no Buddhist Pope that makes proclamations that you just have to accept on faith. There is no Buddhist scientific organization holding press conferences on their latest discoveries. It is all about practice and experience, the rest (and I know there is a lot of it..) is just fluff and colorful decoration.

Ego is Small Mind, noisy mind, chattering monkey mind. When you quiet that through mediation you start to experience Big Mind, the source of intuition and wisdom and a clearer look at reality. But, as the ancient books say, it is nothing special.

> Also, is it just me or has hacker news slowly shifted from being about technology to more politics?

People have been saying this for about as long as HN has existed, but it isn't true. HN is a mix, it's always been a mix, and the proportion of politics in the mix has gone down somewhat. Why do people perceive the opposite? Because of the cognitive bias where whatever you dislike stands out more. The users who wish HN would have more politics believe that the trend is just the opposite way (a la 'political stories are being increasingly suppressed' and so on).

For anyone who wants details, I wrote a detailed post about this a few weeks ago with tons of examples, so I could link back to it when this issue inevitably comes up again. It's here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17014869.

This CNBC article:

https://www.cnbc.com/2018/06/18/elon-musk-email-employee-con...

It states there was a fire and that Musk references possible Sabotage. Then Musk says there is a real saboteur.

> Musk said this person had conducted "quite extensive and damaging sabotage" to the company's operations, including by changing code to an internal product and exporting data to outsiders.

Most people (myself included) assumed the sabotage he hinted at was done by the saboteur they caught who was intentionally trying to slow down Model 3 production to benefit "short sellers and oil and gas companies". Instead, Tripp just offloaded some data from a completely unrelated factory.

It feels like Musk was intentionally trying to conflate the two, since another fire is obviously bad news and making people believe it was the result of sabotage (with a real saboteur already caught) rather than just poorly run operations is in his best interest.

I believe they have a financial incentive to not do this. If buying a second-hand switch is perceived as risky, then sales of new switches will be encouraged. Of course this would cause a switch to depreciate even more when you buy it since it would suppress the market price of a used switch. But I'd wager most people aren't considering how much they could get from selling their switch when they're considering buying one.
It feels like most comments on this thread haven't really read the article, which opens up by defining the term. The problem is that it has an extremely bad title (any title that you more or less refute in your opening paragraph is a bad title).

A good title would probably be "Benefits and Risks of Going Serverless", which is a subhed that occurs later in the article.
Photo, audio, and video evidence should already be dismissed until one is able to verify the integrity and source. All of these can already be believably faked - it's just a matter of educating people that a layperson can easily create fake things by using tools developed by research teams.

I already pay for AMC stubs and go to AMC the majority of the time. Combined with being able to book beforehand, go to premieres, and see the 1 or 2 movies in IMAX that I want to each year this could be good.

Only drawback is AMC's pass not having the flexibility/number of theater's with MoviePass, especially for more indie theaters where I live. Curious to see how MoviePass responds (if at all)
