IMO everything that is wrong about internet now is because people don't have better idea for monetizing than slapping ads on a page. Big players like goog and other ad networks made it even worse making it easy to enter, just slap adwords on your page and earn. The more users you have the more you earn, which breeds clickbait.

Someone will have to run centralized node for city, so we don’t have to build and maintain a huge and expansive network infrastructure goes out of the window also, bitcoin miners are not running nodes for free and not for advertising money from their servers. How would they make sure that ad revenue for running server is higher than cost of running server?

It is also oblivious to fact that amazon has full fleet for delivery, warehouses. Where they propose everything commision-free but then magically the money for the delivery goes directly to the cyclists involved.
An algorithm calculates the best and cheapest route to deliver your goods., I also expect that running bike delivery service is much more complicated that calculating best and cheapest routes.

So I went full rage mode on this one, it is ignorant, visionary, buzzword ridden, writeup.
But maybe I should judge it as just fiction writing not actual business idea.
Can we on HN at least wait until there actually is something to criticize before posting this sort of stuff?

Sometimes I despair.
I think it has more to do with the fact that 3 of the 5 most important companies in tech are headquartered there have a combined $2.3T in market cap whereas Boston's biggest tech co's, TripAdvisor, Akamai, and Wayfair, have a combined market cap of ~$30B.

But how do I, website user, can know it? Given how many sites are served by CF, my private, decrypted, data can be aggregated and I would have no clue.

For ISPs use VPN. And I doubt (seriously) AWS (Azure) has means to do MITM, reading private keys from virtual machines? cmon.

This is something i noticed; a human initiator would get counter initiated almost instantly, every single time by OpenAI. The blink dagger is much less effective. Pro humans do this too, but not every single time with perfect timing.

Humans dont concentrate on the whole screen, attention is directed...
They are both slowly catching up to Java ME[1] where all of this worked perfectly well, except for the silly decision to disable the "always allow" option for non-trusted apps.

If they had just let the users (rather than Verisign) decide for themselves which apps they trusted, so that every app wouldn't have to pop up i confirmation dialog every time it wanted a network connection, I would be much happier with what we had then than with Android's model.

Your assumption is possible to be true but is not the only possible cause and the article it is very clear about the conclusions, as an example someone linked in this comments some differences were notices with animals too.
But probably not anywhere near SF/NYC. More space and fewer competing industries.
I wonder what the average American citizen could do that would help to get such legislation passed. Any ideas?
Seems like another good, DiD reason to sanitize external traffic using network gear or a secondary os transparent proxy/router like one of the 3 BSD’s.
Low end computers will eventually go SSD too. The cost of a hard drive has a floor for all the mechanics that go into it. Moores law may be petering out but I think it will still deliver usably large SSDs below that floor.
The difference is movie pass is changing the rules every month or more.

> It is correct that something being hate speech by itself not sufficient cause for it to lose first amendment protections....

"Hate speech is correctly generally protected by the first amendment" obviously does not mean "all hate speech is protected regardless of other properties it may have". That's the entire point of the word "generally". The point is that Apple and others are using "hate speech" alone as the justification.

> the first amendment doesn't require Apple or Facebook to host anyone so them banning first amendment protected hate speech is not a problem by itself, which is to say the second part of your claim isn't justified.

I have explained at least half a dozen places in this thread why it's a mistake to think there's no moral imperative for private individuals and organizations free speech just because the first amendment applies only to the government. I didn't want to repeat myself, so I explicitly acknowledged in the comment you're replying to that it is an additional moral claim. Your comment just states your disagreement without actually arguing for it, or engaging with any of the arguments I have given elsewhere.
Not at all cost competitive for my brand either.

Contacts are a commodity item - whenever I need to reorder contacts I do a lazy 2 min search for the cheapest price online and order there. Customer experience is same everywhere.

Not sure what sort of competitive edge JetLenses has, seems like the idea would've been great in 1995. As a long time contact wearer this market has already been disrupted pretty severely .

For me costs going down fairly steadily since the advent of 1-800-Contacts and the subsequent federal law which put an end to the shenanigans of eye doctors trying to block online fulfillment.
> And no, that's not a slippery slope.

And yes, it most certainly is when mainstream politicians get banned.

Do you really believe that if Apple wrote their own interpreter for their own custom language that serializes into JSON it would be safer than using one of the battle-tested LUA implementations?
Startups absolutely have time to market and cost of developer time. Using a language that can get you there in 1 month instead of 1 year is very important and has nothing to do with the cost of technology.
It's not about the skills/background, but decisionmaking capacity. The blame for executing an order is separate from the blame for issuing one. If a tech worker is both the decisionmaker and the implementer then they get to be blamed for both, of course.
> It's interesting to me that Mr. Cook is downplaying this, but it makes some sense, since the price of the stock (and therefore the valuation) is only loosely tied to the success of the company.

Aren't these types of messages mostly meaningless? I mean, what is he going to say?

"Our stock price reflect our ability to continue to charge substantially more for our products than they cost to make. So I would like to thank our lawyers for making sure we aren't the ones who have to pay more taxes. The executive team at the other tech companies for helping us collude against our own employees so we don't have to pay them more. And our friends in China who keep a steady stream of low payed dormitory bound workers available so we don't have to spend our money in the US, or even much at all. Thank you all for helping us continuing these practices as the world burns."
Rainway is fast and clientless. Our vision is all about letting you use your existing hardware (home gaming PC, cloud provider) to enable the gameplay experience. So you installed our software and then the web app takes care of the rest.

We curate all of the games you have installed on your machine and enable a click and play experience.

The competition is always to not go see movies in theaters.

Theaters have just barely been holding on to my business for weekend matinees, between 0 and 2 times per month. I get that the movies-in-theaters industry seems ripe for disruption, but people are already doing that by not going [as frequently] any more.

It's nice that MoviePass is trying to throw a flotation ring to the theaters, but when I heard Disney was unilaterally upping its take from certain movies that it will be distributing, and pulling out of Netflix to pursue its own streaming service, I started looking for ways to replace certain elements of my entertainment. The industry itself is killing the golden goose, and I may just go back to reading fantasy novels by the shovelful, and trying out all those games I licensed on Steam/GOG/Humble and never played, and binge-watching niche shows on Netflix/Hulu that would have been canceled from regular television.
They did this to all of their BAs.
As someone who studied actual political science at university and learned triangulation methods on multiple news sources, and how to unwind bias, Info Wars cannot be unwound. It is 100% bullpucky. It's entertainment. Not a bit of it is news, newsworthy, factual or information. It is functionally junk food that has zero nutritional value.
No reason. Maybe because they have good PR and offer 'free' SSL, which many just take. I'm unaware of market size of other CDNs.

Do other CDNs offer free plans with SSL?

BTW latency still matters here, so an even awesomer future "Show HN" might include some great analysis on how you got your product from X ms peak latency down to Y ms peak latency.
It is the most bullshit sounding industry ever to an outsider. You make things smaller than the wavelength of light, out of sand, to turn on and off trillions of times a second, to do math, to make all the world's information instantly available on a metal and plastic block I keep in my pocket?

That some would move to set up their own free community is a good thing. A great luxury for low populations.

But there were quite a few rival and very undemocratic "ideal" communities. The most common was the plantation. Another was the theocracy.

Thankfully history (mostly) deprecated these and the ideal that survived is the town-hall, its flaws minuscule in comparison.
No. Let's Encrypt is focused only on the Web PKI. So that includes web servers (obviously), and everything that speaks TLS on the Internet (e.g an IMAP server for your email) but it doesn't include either type of end-to-end email encryption (S/MIME or PGP), nor any kind of code signing, document signing, timestamp services or similar.

Technically this is implemented in two ways. One: Where Trust Stores themselves have distinct trust for different feature sets, ISRG/ Let's Encrypt asked only for the flags needed to do Web PKI. e.g. In Mozilla they didn't ask for S/MIME or code signing (today Mozilla doesn't do code signing anyway).

Two: Certificates have a section called Extended Key Usage (EKU) which can list arbitrary purposes for which the certificate's issuer says the Public Key included in this certificate is to be used. EKUs on Let's Encrypt certificates specify two purposes, 1.3.6.1.5.5.7.3.1 (TLS Server) and 1.3.6.1.5.5.7.3.2 (TLS Client) so these certificate proclaim themselves not to be suitable for other purposes.
I also really love ambitious projects but I am not going to put my money/time into something like this.

So how much time/money are you going to spend on it, or is it nice project but you also don't feel like spending your money on it.
So I can only speak to the pros of Rainway and why we have so many people adopting it as their go-to-solution.

We put your games first. We don' t believe in the traditional remote desktop approach and want to remove all the friction from game streaming. (https://blog.rainway.io/our-core-mission-games-first-78671e4...)

We're clientless, this means you can open any web browser like Chrome and start playing on any number of devices -- both inside and outside your home.

We use common web traffic to prevent being blocked by most networks, this allows us to have a higher chance of connecting even on lock downed networks (schools, office).

We're really fast. You can play games like Destiny 2 on a Chromebook at 1080P 60 FPS.(https://twitter.com/Andrewmd5/status/1009758915305730051)

We are aiming to release on every major platform we can. Phones and game consoles alike.

We constantly give back, through open source releases or community fixes -- we really believe in the principle of supporting the community that supports us.

For the more technical questions, Rainway can run on Intel, AMD and NVIDIA systems and we're highly optimized for all three and test on all ranges of hardware from those providers. Our biggest weakness right now would be our lack of native mobile apps, but that isn't slowing us down. (https://twitter.com/Andrewmd5/status/1009852188724625408)

I'm the CEO of Rainway, so of course, I like our product and I'd encourage you to join our discord (https://rain.gg/discord) and ask users for their opinion.
How does it complicate the UI for you?
> I think nVidia SHIELD offers a similar pitch, but I don't know how popular it is.

The Shield itself has been fairly successful from what I know, especially if you consider its fairly high price compared to other Android TV boxes. I have one and can say I really like it, Nvidia has been really committed and provided constant updates on top of a pretty stable hardware platform. Game streaming on it works pretty well and has been moderately successful. It works smoothly and latency is low enough to play all but the twitchiest of games. The biggest advantage is that for all the games I've seen you can play them as long as you already own them on Steam, you don't have to purchase them twice (in addition to supporting native Steam in-home streaming now I think). The selection of games available to play on Nvidia's streaming service isn't colossal, but they have a constant trickle of popular games so there's plenty of things you'd actually want to play (and you get a pretty generous range of older-but-good games to play for free with the Shield). I bought mine as a media player, but the game streaming is a very nice perk.
We can start by voting against every incumbent on the ballot this fall. Congress continues to act against the public good, except for a few (mostly) Democrats, and they all deserve to be fired.

Take it a step farther and vote against anyone with a (D) or (R) next to their name on the ballot.
> One side considers it a horrible insult and the other doesn't see why you wouldn't want to be associated with them.

It's worse than that. I've lived in Boston for 30 years and was unaware that this animosity even existed.

I have had many nice vacations in Northern New England and have friends, relatives and colleagues in NH and Vermont and I have yet to hear any serious anti-Boston sentiment uttered by any of these people (aside from their hatred of our traffic, which I share.)
Anecdotally, I'd like to add that I run much better fasted than not. Granted I only run for 30 to 60 min, but even up to 36 hours fasting did not make it harder at all. I feel lighter, euphoric and my motivation does not change over the time running.

Though, I speculate that running in the beginning of your fasting window will increase the time of glucose depletion and maaaybe make the fasting more efficient. Though, repairing exercise induced injuries probably won't be efficient.
Jordan Weissmann's response in Slate is worth a read:

Actually, the 1 Percent Are Still The Problem
The Atlantic trots out a familiar argument blaming the upper-middle class for income inequality. It’s wrong.

https://slate.com/business/2018/05/forget-the-atlantics-9-9-...

Here's Weissmann's concluding paragraph.

> Stewart and Reeves are right to point out that the American upper class is bigger than just the top 1 percent. There are, indeed, many layers of economic privilege in this country. But they’re doing it in a way that essentially asks us to forget a lot of what we’ve learned about how income and wealth are really concentrating in this country. The 1 percent vs. the 99 percent may not be a perfect shorthand for what ails the economy, but it’s a whole lot more useful than what they’ve offered up.
If you find you're exporting and running via `uniq` or the like, `create temporary table as` is probably what you want. If you think about it, it's essentially what you're doing, without the additional filesystem involvement.

The optimizer should be handling this for you, though for very large datasets, constructing a new table from a query essentially avoids the locking issues you might otherwise run into.
I don't work on Android but isn't that behavior defined by the Android OS and just apps doing whatever they want?

Show HN: A language-agnostic test runner
My $DAYJOB is leading a team which develops applications and gateways (for the 1k+ employee B2B market) that integrate deeply with Azure, Azure AD and anything that comes with it. We do have Microsoft employees (who work on Azure) on our payroll, too.

I can tell you, as I'm sure anyone in my team can, that Azure is one big alpha-stage amalgation of half-baked services. I would never ever recommend Azure to literally any organization no matter the size. Seeing our customers struggle with it, us struggle with it, and even MS folks struggle with even the most basic tasks gets tiring really fast. We have so many workarounds in our software for inconsistency, unavailability, questionable security and general quirks in Azure that it's not even funny anymore.

There are some days where random parts of Azure completely fail, like customers not being able to view resources, role assignments or even their directory config.

An automatic integration test of one of our apps, which makes heavy use of Azure Resource Management APIs, just fails dozens of times a week not because we have a bug, but because state within Azure didn't propagate (RBAC changes, resource properties) within a timeout of more than 15 minutes!

Two weeks back, the same test managed to reproducibly produce a state within Azure that completely disabled the Azure Portal resource view. All "blades" in Azure just displayed "unable to access data". Only an ultra-specific sequence of UI interactions and API calls could restore Azure (while uncovering a lot of other issues).

That is the norm, not the exception. In 1.5 years worth of development, there has never been a single week without an Azure issue robbing us of hours of work just debugging their systems and writing workarounds.

Moving to Oregon and telecommuting is not an option for most people.

Nobody with real problems gives a damn about density or the environment. They're too busy trying to cope with the anxieties of losing their job to automation, whether or not they can afford healthcare, and where they are going to live in artificially heated market (while getting reamed over monthly rent). Oh, and we're expected to have saved millions of dollars by the time we're 65, since Social Security may or may not be around.

It is a time of many uncertainties, all of which fuel anxiety. Life is hard and unclear if you aren't privileged.
I use digitalocean, but also have a few wildcard manually verified with the --manual flag and a bit of cut & paste. It is 5 minutes every 3 months but it is free so I haven't bothered to automate it (just get an intern doing it every couple months). Lame, I know.
This. The real winners in tech are those who own a bunch of houses in the right places.
While that's probably fine for most people. In my city. We've got about 8 theaters all of which are available through MoviePass. I don't see why I would pay for 3/week only at AMC.

I would much rather have access to less movies a month, but with the option to go to any theater in my city that best matches my schedule.

I think that 3/month is worth $10/month, I also think that they should remove the restriction of rewatching movies. 3/month should be 3/month.
Also a p-value would be nice.
So to get all the privacy changes I will need to buy a new phone, as my current Samsung has 3 years now, so it won't get any updates. What a funny world.
> I'm going to say something terrifying, and it should cause you terror indeed: Most people don't shop banks.

I work for a bank, and I want to confirm this. Banking relationships are astoundingly "sticky". The bank that I work for tries hard to compete by offering better products and treating customers fairly, but it is difficult because customers so rarely move to a new bank.

Seriously, folks: if you are unhappy with your bank OR IF YOU ARE HAPPY WITH IT, go ahead and look at the offerings from some of their competitors. You might find that someone else offers better rates, lower fees (or no fees), or treats you more fairly. And if you happen to bank where I work, please do the same thing... if our competitors are treating the customers better then I WANT to lose customers (what else will pressure us to keep our standards high?).
