Bug bounty literally changed my life.

In 2013 Facebook paid me $5000, because of it I was able to pay my education loan(in India) and avoided all those compound interest.

I started way before when it was popular and actually got my current job from this thread
“list of YC companies I’ve worked with(Hacked)”

Bug bounty is really hard these days, you are competing with the whole world - whoever report first, wins(even when you have put equal efforts)

It’s good for side hustle but you can’t do it full-time these days.
No, not really. Maybe the readers of HN can, though. Which I suppose is part of user killantics' point.
My experience with vim is that if you start with the default, it's probably too frustrating. Most plugins are essentially training-wheels: less efficient, but more intuitive means of carrying out basic tasks. For instance, 'easymotion' is far simpler than learning all the text objects and how to move around them, but it also requires another keypress and is less effective.

I think a lot of batteries-included stuff, at its best, is like that - stuff that you don't fundamentally need, but that puts a smoother corner on the rough and unshapely form of something that cares more about power than intuitiveness.
Not sure why you're getting down voted - tying health care to employment is a burden on both companies (at least small ones) and workers.
The end of the American Century or joining their axis of evil? They would literally need the support of NK and Russia to not lose their pants in about 8? conflicts that are just waiting for the US to be spread that thin and lack European/Anglo support.
I know someone who used their sob story to get a relatively well paid job for their demographic through HN. I have never tried to do such.

I'm in no way trying to use my gender or social status to open doors. I appear to be the highest ranked woman on HN. If I can't open doors based on competence because my gender gets in the way, I imagine it's far harder for other women.

I didn't leave that comment to complain about my situation. I left it as "testimony" and constructive feedback for the person saying essentially "writers are desperately needed". I'm a writer. For a time, I was amenable to contributing my skills to open source. It went nowhere. Here are my thoughts as to why that might be so.

Yes, I'm angry. I said that, so I'm not hiding that fact. My anger is not unjustified, nor is it reason I can't seem to open doors. Cause and effect run the other way. I'm angry because I do the things I'm told I should do that apparently work for others and it doesn't work for me.

Perhaps I will get better at making it clear that such a comment isn't intended to solicit pity or advice or whatever. Perhaps not. People seem to routinely jump on giving advice to folks who leave such comments, whether it is me or not.

I have taken to flagging and downvoting advice replies given to folks saying "Yes, this broad issue (racism, sexism, whatever) is real. I have experienced it firsthand. Here is my testimony." because giving advice in such cases serves to reinforce the idea that sexism, racism etc aren't real issues, it is just some personal problem and you as an individual must be doing it wrong.

I appreciate the opportunity to clarify my intent. It occurred to me after I left the remark that it could be easily misinterpreted. I decided to leave it up anyway.

There are ways in which HN has been really good to me and I am very appreciative of that fact. I don't want people to get the wrong idea.

But that doesn't change the fact that a) writers get a lot of contempt from coders and b) sexism is alive and well. And it doesn't change the essence of my advice above that if you really feel you need more writers in (your) open source (project), then it might behoove you to look at factors like that.
Just 30% when purchased through the app store. Sounds like a simple solution.
They used to... I don't know, maybe it's changed. But that site looks like eBay under the hood, whitelabeled maybe?
> Throwing a web animation to slowly rotate Google's search page around for eternity seems a way more practical expression of the reach of the power of human creativity than giving random people torque-drivers and turnbuckles.

I seriously cannot tell if you are trolling or not. "Helping to build a sculpture-cum-shelter out in the desert" is worlds away from "making someone else's webpage rotate".

And making a physical thing is a very different feeling from making a digital thing. I make comics and put them online; I also print them, and there is a lot more satisfaction in having a book I can put on my shelf and say "I made this" than a webpage I can point to. The book will probably survive me longer than the webpage, which vanishes up to a year after the account set up to auto-renew the domain and hosting runs out of money.

> Also, there's no practical attack where highway patrol can show up and throttle the forum traffic to generate quick cash by arresting all the stoners.

True dat. There's also a buttload of smaller Burns in various places that haven't gotten big enough to be as much of a tempting target.
Well in the case of games, you end up with the big players making their own store like EA did with Origin (or Epic, Blizzard....) Which kinda sucks since you now have a bunch of apps with different logins.

I'm also not convinced you would end up with 6 players all taking the same %. Take a smaller cut, and offer a lower price to the consumer so people use your store.
You have it completely backwards; I have absolutely no problem with them taking the software that they've written and making it proprietary. No one should be forced to open source anything and we should all be thankful those modules were open sourced before now. If they own all the copyright (which they must to change the license) they are free (and welcome) to do what they want.

But this whole Commons Clause licensing thing is absolutely bizarre. The naming itself is obfuscating the fact that this actually removes this code from the commons which is the exact opposite of the similarly named Creative Commons licenses. Secondly, it's highly questionable whether or not you can simply attach an external rider like this to existing open source license; Apache License + something else is no longer the Apache license.

I don't understand why any company would go through this awful mess except obfuscation. I don't think they have any intention to defraud; I think they just wanted to make their proprietary plan sound better. And I think that is a mess but their actual business model is both sound and reasonable.

You wrote an article about how open source must "get real" and accept these business models and I'm sorry that the entire premise is undermined by the hundreds of other open source projects that have a variety of business models either closely or exactly matching what Redis is trying to do here. The only thing Redis did poorly was try and hide it under flowery language and poor legal advice.
There is a big need for even contract type work to help nontechnical founders prototype. I get asked at least 1-3x per month (as a crappy front-end dev that has no time to keep learning how to code) to build x or y project. Post under job boards that you are "accepting PT or prototyping contracts" on job forums of communities similar to YC. Start-up coworking spaces, such as the CIC in Boston, have Slack channels where people are constantly looking for devs - ask a current member to post your capabilities on their internal Slack channel. Probably a bunch of folks would be happy to chat with you about contract work.
One possible confusion is the words used. "Right" and "wrong" have moral overtones. Asimov is using them to just mean "correct" and "incorrect".

Essentially its probably difficult to charge 30% in a market where people have reasonably easy access to multiple markets in the same way its hard to charge $20 per gallon of milk in markets where people can drive to other grocery stores its a monopoly rent.

Fortunately I've never worked anywhere that had conditions so bad that organizing was worth thinking about, but I won't rule it out as a possibility in the future.
> I can see the value in the vetting service to a lot of people, but I just don't understand the idea of embracing a forced restriction on other people that you happen to like yourself.

Here are some benefits to the one-size-fits-all policy Apple uses:

* Developers are forced to comply with Apple's rules. Otherwise companies could develop shitty apps that use private APIs to work around Apple's restrictions and then force customers to open up their devices to use it.

* Apple and every 3rd-party support person/company/family member in the world isn't forced to deal with a steady stream of "Somebody told me to change this setting and now my phone has a virus" support requests.

* People aren't misled (more than they already are) about the safety of the iOS ecosystem by a steady stream of news stories about people who changed the setting and got their phone infected.
> Can't they sue Microsoft and get reinstated?

Please stop with this. The last time temp workers sued (and won) [1] the rippling effect it has had on 100s and 1000s of contractors since then, is that companies (in Silicon Valley and Bay area atleast) no longer employ contractors for more than 18 months at a time.

And due to this a lot of contractors since 1998 have had to leave lucrative contracts at software companies, because the companies that hired them specifically put this max limit after this lawsuit to shield themselves from such a law suit.

Personally, I've had to leave 3 separate contracts since 2006 in San Francisco, solely because the clients had this policy of not hiring temp workers/ contractors for more than 18 months, so as to avoid any lawsuit from temp workers suing for employee benefits.

“Adorably doomed” implies something about its doomed status is adorable...
> Interesting, by the World Value Survey figures South Korea looks worse than Japan overall. 34.1% of people mentioned that they would not want a person of a different race as a neighbour, as opposed to 22.3% in Japan.

Is that enough? Other countries are more racist - East/South Asia is in general extremely tribal and racist. Thai people hate Vietnamese, Koreans and Chinese HATE Japanese, and Chinese people look down on South East asians, and the Japanese look down at everybody. Pakistanis and Indians mutually hate each other, Taiwanese look down on Mainlanders, and Northern Chinese look down on the Southern Chinese for eating strange things and being sly/tricky, whereas the Southern Chinese look down on the Northern Chinese for drinking too much and getting into fights.

> The numbers for the US are fascinating too. Overall only 5.6% of people said they wouldn't want a person of a different race as a neighbour. But the trend is the opposite to Japan, 6% of people under 29 said they would not want a person of a different race as a neighbour (4.7% of people over 50).

Like I said, I'm not saying other countries aren't racist. I'm saying that the Japanese are incredibly racist towards other Asians.
Intel has. Here are some benchmarks:

I'm sympathetic but I'm not sure how it's related.
I think you're right that if FP is a trap at one end of the fallacy, pure OOP exists at the other.

Interesting point about software having uses outside of programming a machine to do tasks. I can see an appeal there.
What would people do if the web backend that safari and third party browsers are obligated to use refused to let you access a particular site?

Its trivial to censor if you don't have a right to install the software you prefer.
To my knowledge the police in Germany is not allowed to lie to you during interrogations in the sense you put it.

https://dejure.org/gesetze/StPO/136a.html

According to this law, deception is a prohibited interrogation method.

No idea how this is handled in practice and what the loopholes are.

I have a vague memory of a confession in Switzerland being invalidated because of this, but can't find a source at the moment.
I think even if Magic Leap was $100 it would not revolutionize the world. I'm bullish on the potential of AR, I just think the form factor has years of hard technical work ahead to "revolutionary".
Is this the kind of thing that requires a professional installation? Any sort of guides or kits available?
Not a bug, I must have just made a mistake and copied the wrong URL. Thanks!
A lot of these bugs seems to be found by the Google teams and since they are heavy Linux users, I'm sure in many cases they have a solution for Linux before Apple or Microsoft does.
Ding ding, we have a winner.

A lot of languages support custom operators, but some really abuse the hell out of them. Googling for <%-/\-%> is very difficult.
Commons Clause isn't that bad
Oh, on the ground? I thought the article mentioned having the lasers in orbit, presumably to avoid atmospheric blurring.

So it’s not just things in orbit that are targets, it’s stuff on the ground, as well.

3 Things That Will Shape the Future of Video Games
Being one of the fastest growing industries in the world, the gaming industry is primed for further success in the coming decade. There are several reasons for this, but continued growth and expansion is primarily being driven by increased adoption and innovation with the blockchain space, Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) innovation, as well as the expanding demographic of gamers and enthusiasts.

Let’s quickly look into these three factors and explore why video games will likely be at the forefront of our digital future.

1. Blockchains
Blockchain technology is currently at the centre of the movement back to a decentralized Internet. Decentralized networks are composed and made possible by individual computers. Because of its inherent structure, a blockchain is far more immune to malicious interventions than its centralized counterpart and can offer “ true ownership” to all things within its jurisdiction.

AWS defines a pretty clear delineation of responsibilities. They are responsible for security of the cloud, you are responsible for security in the cloud.

https://aws.amazon.com/compliance/shared-responsibility-mode...

I’ve not seen AWS censor content, although I’m sure some cases might warrant it. That has nothing to do with a company that was negligent.

I don’t find AWS’ UI or command line clunky at all. In fact I find them clearer than most Unix tools.

It is not hard to know if you have world readable buckets in S3.

They should have a non-clunky dashboard of some sort where people can get a broad level overview of their security choices.

The AWS CLI allows you to easily pull the policy data attached to any resource and you can process it however you choose.
Michael Cohen paid mystery tech company $50k 'in connection with' Trump campaign
Luckily, this isn't all the attendees, but for the repeat ones, yeah. It is sad. They say things like they're "home" when they're at a burn, and they literally get depressed for a week back in the "default world".

The fact that these people seem completely incapable of understanding how to live the life they want more than 1 week a year is astounding. If you want to be naked, spin fire, drink and do drugs with your friends while listening to mixes of house and world music, get a back yard with a tall fence and go to town.
Honestly, I'd rather be snooped on by a corporation for advertising purposes than snooped on by the government for worse purposes.
I don't believe there is an intention to slow down or stop.
It's truly a blessing to be able to have this kind of perspective. I think a lot of frustration with one's current situation has little to do with the situation and much more to do with the perspective applied to the situation.
But when you're not throttled at the start of the month and you are after reaching a certain amount of data usage (dare I say, a limit) then it is not unlimited.

Probably because he didn't make it clear that the reason he brought up Medicare for All was because the whole reason contractors are so prevalent is so you don't have to pay for healthcare for them, effectively separating your workers into two classes.

Medicare for All would be beneficial in this example as it would totally remove the burden on company to provide a healthcare plan.

Without that crucial context, it sounds like he's just randomly bringing up hot-button political issues.

That's what the GPLv3 is for. It's also the most widely used open source license nowadays.
As a lesson for people who want to unionize, this is why larger is better when it comes to unions.
I don't think this is what people really want (most of the time). People tend to use modes of communication which are efficient (time/effort/responsiveness/exposure). They use whatever they can get away with: in person - video - telephony - text - like/reaction. I don't think manipulation plays a big part in choosing to text, people's preferences are just exploited by fb et al. for their own benefit.
Oh - I forgot the L1 cache isn't shared across cores. That makes sense, thanks.
TL;DR Growth hacking -- but by politicians this time, with some added FUD for flavor.

1. Loud people are more likely to be heard.

2. A view with the appearance of consensus carries a weight similar to one that does.

3. Bots powered by more modern AI techniques may be harder to recognize and moderate.

4. The author assumes AI chat works like in the movies when its actually more like cleverbot.

5. "Shielding people" from certain information is basically just thinking for them, at that point why even bother asking them what they want, you might as well just tell them.
A large consumer market seems unlikely at this stage, however I'll bet they could find some lucrative industrial and military niches. Those customers will be more tolerant of limitations as long as they see operational benefits.
You are right that they cannot be added to History, but the code used here changes the back button functionality with

$(window).on('popstate', function() {
window.location.href = 'https://example.com';
});

I just tested it and it works with different domain in latest Firefox.
Competitive markets ultimately benefit all users even if users aren't smart enough to promote their existence by voting with their wallets.

Kind of like having fire exits benefits users even if people don't pick retailers based on their existence.

Feels like that Juicero thing all over again, billions of dollars, many many years spent on a freakishly expensive, outrageously complicated hardware design that is all over the place. While out there in the real world, it was Microsoft of all companies that got the MVP done and out there, and is actively learning and improving.
Since apple management is 0.000001% of the population why can't we just abrogate the trade off by making them do what we prefer in the name of consumer choice.
Show HN: A community stock screener
That theory doesn't account for the fact that the laws of physics prevent anything from traveling faster than the speed of light. because our galaxy is 100000 lightyears long by itself, it would take 100000 years for an advanced civilization just to get to us let alone cross their own galaxies. It's highly possible other life doesn't exist but the reason we can't see them is because space is way larger than you think it is and takes a long time to travel across.
For sure. Something like this might be useful to explore the Oort Cloud / Kuiper Belt, but I don’t expect to see anything like a star probe built in my lifetime.

Might be interesting to couple laser powered “solar” panels with an ion drive, though :-)
I remember reading about this topic in philosophy class, namely, the Pessimistic Induction [1]. I've wondered if a similar argument could be made for moral progress. Certainly, many people are quick to make similarly skeptical arguments which point out that people in the past had different moral views than we do now, and no less confidence that they were right. If we were to survey the history of moral conventions, would we find that it converges in the same way as our scientific theories? (Does the arc of history bend toward justice?)

This is so overdramatic and unfortunate - a company puts code out there, does good work, largely follows OSS, and this topic gets derailed.

They degrade on the 'de facto' definition of OS by saying that others may not sell it.

That's it.

Comments like yours are why I don't interact with open source at all.

There's some added value. I wouldn't have a Netflix subscription without an iPad, since I don't own a TV.
We already have gatekeepers for books. The publisher who decides what to publish, the book store owner who decides what to stock, and the librarian who selects what book stays or goes. Gatekeeping doesn't seem like much of an argument.
