Why would you compare AWS vs managing your own data center?

You could also compare AWS vs building your own silicon.

I think it would be better to compare AWS vs renting dedicated servers from a large provider? I think you will find that the scales tip heavily in favor of renting bare metal as far as price is concerned.
Not just the mattress; the bed furniture counts towards the $3,000 too. So $2k for the tempurpedic & you can hit $3k easily.
In my opinion the situation looks like intentional discrimination. Harvard doesn't want to be too lopsided with Asian students, so they find ways to discriminate against them and keep the ratio lower.

Well, DOS (by which I really mean the IBM PC) was arguably more "powerful" than Unix minicomputers of the time, in that there was never any OS sitting between you and the hardware. Compared to say, an iPad, it was a very developer-friendly machine.

Turbo Pascal, in particular, more or less introduced an entire generation to programming, especially since it had no copy protection.

"The line we placed there was arbitrary. The division it creates is the very cause of the problems of consciousness. Science experiments show that it is likely at the wrong location, no matter how confident we were when we drew it. I will attempt to solve these artificial problems of consciousness by showing that it is a miscategorization and not-well-justified to draw the line in the first place."
Why not just rent dedicated bare metal from a large provider?

Lamenting the current absurdity is fair.

Generally, defendants don't need to defend against bombastic statements in the media. In fact, such statements can help the defendant, as they can prejudice and disqualify jurors, leading to mistrial.

Sure that's why they have an entire category called extra curriculars, which Asian applicants also do well on. The only category they score low on is personality, which measures, through a half hour interview, such lofty ideals as courage and leadership. It's obviously just there so Harvard can give a subjective score to balance out their racial ratios.

Would you’ve taken it down if the email was from a developer instead of a lawyer and had said ‘hey Dave here from magic leap! Great to see you contribute. Noticed you had our docs on your GitHub. We’re trying to keep these in a central place, would you mind removing them?”?

If yes, then just remove it. Perhaps send a feedback message that the legal challenge was really off-putting and hope they want to take this in consideration for similar situations with their community in the future.
My sincere apologies - this was a result of a miscommunication inside our team. Happy to elaborate if you care to hear more. We are very much aware of the HN community standards. Won't happen again - promise.

Afaik combining compression and dynamic content has a tendency to weaken encryption (BREACH).

Compression ratios give information about the contents of a message. Hence, it seems to make sense to only compress static content from a security standpoint.

If I understand properly, you're violating an NDA, or an alternative agreement to not copy and publish their docs.

This is the legal enforcement of same. You can, f'instance, not do it. Now that you've made frontpage on a major SV watering hole, you've put things in a bind, where their response to you will now be taken as their general presumed policy.

Unless I'm badly mistaken (IANAL), you're risking being sued in court for this, with varied and sundry penalties. And you're not even being paid by Magic Leap.

Frankly, I suggest shutting down your magic leap work and contributing to an AGPL project, where redistribution is licensed and appropriate.
If I understood everything, you have to be a Wi-Fi Alliance member in order to develop/contribute/vote on all things WiFi. The smallest membership that allows you to participate is US$7,500/year for 2018 (next year it’ll be $7,725/year). And that’s only for small businesses and they won’t have all voting rights. The actual membership is a whopping US$15,000/year ($450 more next year).

It disgusts me to see that in order to improve something that a crapton of people use daily to protect them self, that’s currently broken, you’d have to pay. I didn’t see any mention that individuals can become members on the website of the Wi-Fi Alliance seems to be only businesses can participate.

I’d be alright with some open-source implementation instead.

Eh—I'm as much of a solipsistic skeptic as the next guy, but leaving aside questions about the fundamental knowability of truth (or brain-in-a-vat-isms) a precondition of consciousness is the possession of a mind. There is no evidence or causal factors to suggests that rocks have a mind. Your argument taken to its logical extents allows us to say anything is anything; so we're not really saying anything, because any word is any word and the whole process of communicating is gutted and even this rebuttal is pointless.
Very sorry about this. It was a slip up and a miscommunication on our team - I hope it didn't cause too much trouble. Sorry once again.
It seems you're conflating an entity exercising it's legal duty, with entities using the legal system to harass and bully others into complying with unreasonable demands.

Magic leap has created IP using Investor Money. That IP has monetary value, and that value in-part belongs to investors. If the company fails to protect that IP, the IP could lose value, impacting the value to investors. Losing that value because the company failed to act could open up the CEO to breach of fiduciary duty.

I mean, as soon as those docs are out of date, which will happen naturally and probably pretty quickly, you will be providing access to out of date/wrong documentation....and that will hurt the developer directly.

Sounds like Jack Henry. My bank uses them for their client web portal. Up until last year, they had an 8 character max limit on your password, and you couldn't use any special characters or spaces.

But at least they make you verify your "personal photo" every time you log in. Which is more than useless since I assume they are trying to protect you from phishing and any decent phishing attempt would just skip that step and no one would notice. Or, if they wanted, they could just port your username to the real site and pass the photo along to you through the phishing site UI.

Well, for disk access, it certainly was an OS. As for more powerful? Nah. Not sure how anyone could make that case given that the Unices of the time were already multi-user multi-tasking systems. Given the hardware DOS ran on, it had to be as small as it was, because the hardware itself didn't have the juice or the architecture to handle multitasking. When the hardware improved, multitasking became a necessity, and thus the need for more hardware abstraction, etc., in other words, a full OS.
> What seems true is that both ipfs and blockchain technologies will make these legal tools obsolete.

I doubt it. More likely, it will make it easier to get yourself into hot water.

Committing a tort (in this case, violating the terms of a license agreement) is one thing, and, while lawyers might word their comments strongly, they're leaving you a very easy out here.

Committing a tort that can't be undone, but doing it on some sort of indelible public record, is probably just ensuring that you will get dragged into expensive legal proceedings. The current law still says that they have to defend their copyright in order to keep their copyright, so you won't really have left them with any other choice.
Those grand machines with their powerful and competent paradigms required hardware resources that were too expensive to satisfy the burgeoning need for computing outside of a university or corporate data center.
The other problem for Genius is that they've never really identified a profitable business at a scale that even remotely approaches their level of hype.
I sat in on a drug trafficking trial in Hamburg. There was one judge, two lay judges, a scribe, and two lawyers. It was just a normal room with office tables and very little ceremony. The witnesses were mostly questioned by the judge, with some questions from the lawyers to clarify. The defendant admitted to the crime, and then the rest of the trial was examination of the circumstances (you can't just plead guilty and then be sentenced). Although the lawyers "worked" for each side, the primary purpose of the questioning was to get to the truth. At the end, the lawyer for the state thanked the defendant for being candid. Both lawyers then offered their idea of a fair outcome, and then the judge declared a recess while she decided the verdict (what laws the defendant is judged to have violated) and punishment. The judge was lenient, and sentenced the defendant under a law requiring a lesser punishment, due to the circumstances (she was working for her boyfriend).

There is no plea bargaining. There are no deals. Criminal cases go to trial, always. The purpose of the trial is not to "win" or "lose"; it's to get to the truth, no matter what it is, disrupt peoples' lives as little as possible while still serving justice, and everyone takes that purpose VERY seriously. I was also impressed at how quickly it was completed (3 hours).

A person is presumed innocent until proven guilty. This means that they won't even lock a defendant up (aside from the initial holding and processing that takes about 1 day). There is no bail. They only jail someone pending trial if they are a flight risk or would tamper with the trial (happens in less than 1% of cases). Police cannot pressure defendants into pleading anything. Defendants can't even plead guilty or innocent - that's for the courts to decide. They take the "getting to the truth" part very seriously.

Einstein's theory of relativity is in large part a simple statement that the Universe has a speed limit (the speed of light), and all the complex and amazing facts that entails.
If they Universe doesn't have a speed limit after all, how is that everywhere we look there appears to be a speed limit, except in certain corners? How does the speed limit not hold in non-local action, and what prevents non-local action from making every thing else avoid the speed limit?
AWS has excellent customer service offerings after a certain price point. I would check the "Business" and "Enterprise" plans for examples of how to get the good support.

You get an account manager rep and upon occasion, interactions with AWS engineers, depending on what you're doing and how exciting it is.

One might say a lot about AWS - but I don't fault them on the customer service front for a serious business spending serious money.

GEOS really pushed the limits of the hardware with a great deal of cleverness.

DESQview (as its maker styled it) was a great program for those of us who weren't convinced yet by Windows. While you're right that it started out as text-only (although IIRC later versions supported mice, and you could drag windows around and resize them that way), one of Quarterdeck's last products was DESQview/X, which was basically an X11 server running under DOS. It could run 16-bit Windows applications, DOS applications, and X applications.

Note that Kevin Igoe's mail address is "at nsa.gov" and all the quoted "accidents" happened before Snowden disclosures (which were in the Summer of 2013).

> I'm surprised Spotify hasn't broken into podcasts yet (or have they?).

Shoot, I hate to see technical folks genericize "podcasts" this way.

Podcasts are a great and popular standards-based medium for distributing audio and video on the open web.

Proprietary platforms like Spotify ingest a small percentage of the best podcasts and make that content available to their customers via their proprietary platform in order to increase the value of that platform.

The important bit is that the Spotify show isn't a podcast — no podcast app can play it. Spotify owns the listener relationship. They share stats with creators at their pleasure, if at all. It's a closed thing.

Apologies for what will seems like pedantry to some, but podcasting is the only open audio/video medium we've got.

I think something which hugely benefited the appearance of Nixie tubes in hobbyist use was the incredible supply of surplus electronic components (frequently industrial / military grade parts) from the former Soviet Union that have become available through eBay over the past two decades.

Furthermore, whether due to reasons of preparation nuclear war (EMP) or due to relatively poorer expertise at manufacturing semiconductors as compared to the west, there's a huge amount of rather recent (1970s-1980s) tube-era parts. (The avionics of the MiG-25 are mostly tube-based, as I understand it.)

What nonsense. I don't think there are many musicians today who don't love art. The problem isn't just being unable to get rich, it's being unable to afford to be a musician at all, and that was certainly not the case before the 19th century (there were plenty of paid positions for musicians).
I am not Swedish, but I find it hard to believe this is your only option. Can't you pay yourself a smaller salary, and pay out the profits as a dividend, which is likely taxed way less? I have a (non-Swedish) LLC and it pays me dividends, not just salary.

I don't know a single company owner who pays themselves the entire company potential profit as salary like you seem to be doing, because this would just increase their tax burden.

Edit: from some quick googling, swedish corporate tax is 22% and dividend tax is 30%. So if taxation works the same as here, you'd still be effectively paying ~45% (1 - 0.78*0.7) tax. :/ Better than 60% though...
