And Amazon. I recall that during their most recent s3 outage Amazon's status page was green across the board, because somehow all the assets that were supposed to be displayed when things went wrong were themselves hosted on the thing that was down.
I suspect that it would be news to the IRS.
Started off strong, but you lost me at the "people like you...".
Didn't know there were consumer routers that support command lines! I mean, fritzbox used to have a telnet interface that you could enable by dialing a dect number, but it wasn't meant to be used for anything or supported in any way (and later they removed it).
It's similar to how Paul Graham compares like working really hard for a few years in a startup vs working slower at a traditional job. How hard one works in a compressed amount of time, and the results one achieve in the same amount of time can equate to something.

I never would put 20 years of experience on my resume. Can't fake it till you make it in tech. :) Years of experience, again aren't the metric alone, its the quality of those years does matter.

If someone has 10 years of experience, and their achievements and skillset are mature and are on par with someone at the top of the pile with 20 years of experience, that might be one way. Does that help clarify?

Either way, I'm not sure where this new literal HN is coming from, and maybe I haven't done a very good job of explaining much.
I think we can take this principle more meta. Once every business gets big enough it should go in the finance business.

There is simply no easier way to make money than charging interest on something.
This kind of moral preening makes me sick. I will probably become a customer, but phrases like "the world’s first ethical" really, really rub me the wrong way. tptacek has covered many of my issues below, but, simply put, it implies that the rest of us who work for telecoms or who choose not to buy the Purism are lesser.

"Don't do evil" hit me the same way. I assume Google is well-intentioned, but there are many, many areas in which Google and I have moral disagreement regarding the way they operate. That's fine. Principled people can differ.

The same is true with Microsoft and Kroger's and Costco and lots of other brands I deal with. I know for a fact these companies support causes I believe to be immoral. I suspect in turn they disagree with some of the causes I support. But they don't rub my nose in their superiority with smarmy phrases like "don't do evil" this or "first ethical" that.

In the case of Purism, a much quicker way to my heart and wallet is say it's completely open for the following reasons. That's enough for me. I don't need your fundamentalist preacher bloviating on top of everything else.
There's nothing ethically dubious at all about what the reporter did. The NYU discussion you link to begins:

> On the record, on background, not for attribution and off the record: These are prearranged agreements between a reporter and a source, which govern how specific information can be used. These deals must be agreed to beforehand, never after.

A conversation doesn't become off-the-record when one party utters the magic words and continues without input from the other party.

Has the fashion week’s ”influencer” bubble burst?
I think you underestimate how many i3 BMW have sold, they built almost 100 000 from 2013 to 2017[0]. McLaren on the other hand celebrated 15 000 cars total in may this year[1]. BMW also have a smaller budget for each tub so it's pretty impressive that they have a production car with a carbon fiber tub.

Yeah, they do, usually around 2^8 to 2^15 characters total. Assuming < 256 chars is usually safe, but check the docs for your OS + filesystem combo.
Tesla deserves kudos for getting companies like Mercedes, Audi, Porsche, and Jaguar to invest gobs of money to launch electric cars.

Extrapolating from the size of Mercedes' investment ("over $12 billion," according to the article), I suspect the industry is spending north of $50 billion to launch a range of new electric vehicles over the coming years.

For comparison, Tesla's annual capital spending is between $2 and $3 billion.
It's both the car, and the driver, and the driver's past claims history. An exotic car is going to cost more to insure regardless of who's driving it. Even more so if the driver is young, male, unmarried, or has a record of accidents or violations.

When I added my 16 year old to my insurance, there was quite a difference in cost, depending on which car we said was his primary car.

> ASICs, on the other hand, are custom-built ICs which are designed to very efficiently perform one task, like performing SHA hashes or h.264 decoding.

ASICs aren't necessarily task specific, you can do whatever you want in an ASIC.

Your unit cost analysis isn't quite right either, because what really matters is scale. The primary cost tradeoff between an FPGA and an ASIC is strongly dependent on manufacturing scale. ASICs have high design and tooling costs, but low unit cost after that. FPGAs on the other hand have much lower initial cost, but higher unit cost. Whether or not it makes sense to use an ASIC depends largely on whether or not you're going to ship enough units to amortize the setup costs, hence why a lot of manufacturers often design a single ASIC to be used across multiple products.
>...so I no longer open up anything and rely on port forwarding to more secure and battle-tested services like OpenSSH / Wireguard for remote management.

Absolutely. I purchased an rb2011uiasrm when I got gig fiber at home. I enjoyed hardening the router and ran IPsec VPN for a bit but prefer using another box w/OpenVPN and HMAC auth. I just don't see no matter the promise of security a good reason for explicitly allowing remote access from internet to a core device, MikroTik or otherwise.
Its a bit ironic to be called a bigot by someone who is upset that I refuse to praise a racist.
Upvoted, and I would also say the Book of Mormon, with the Bible. The BoM reinforces the Bible's teachings powerfully, and as I age and read again, sometimes in other languages, and some scholarly things about it, they both just keep getting better and better. Including in their effect on me. You can get a copy of either one for free.

Edit:
Additionally, some which have been mentioned or not:

- a couple of biographies of Lincoln (one is free on gutenberg.org, the other more recent by Doris Kearns Goodwin), and one of Washington whose name I forget now, but there are good ones out there.

- the 7 Habits book (Covey), and How to Win Friends and Influence People by Carnegie.

- Refactoring ..., by Martin Fowler.

- some thick Scheme programming book from college (sorry, it's downstairs). And "The Little Schemer", also about Scheme (one of the authors, Friedman, was also our instructor).

- Since Cumorah, by Hugh Nibley (maybe dated now, but there is a lot of related work). Really got me interested in related topics.
Terry Davis' legacy will be remembered by a lot of different communities. I found him through a YT video that focused on his controversial side but was pretty inspired by his projects. All I can say is he touched a lot of different people and his legacy/infamy is vast.
Apple or Samsung laptops for me. Dell has had constant issues with their stuff for 30 years, if they haven't started making a good laptop in 30 years, they aren't going to start now. There's reports that the brand new XPS STILL has stability issues. Just unacceptable.

Well, it should probably be tagged (2017).
I believe they mentioned this in the long document accompanying their initial crowdfunding campaign. Thought this would not be the case in first release, but to be added at a later time, and running 'compartmentalized' if I remember correctly. Don't know if things have changed since.

20k miles... unless you drive the car like it's a performance car. Half that is more like it in my experience.

And the dealers make a HUGE margin on tyres - the markup vs third party is close to 100% and the third parties are still making a good margin.

There's also things like A/C maintenance etc which is pretty profitable for them.

Well, secure for whom?

If a developer does not reveal the source of a program, then surely a user of this program is not secure against that developer, who can make that software do anything without easily being discovered.

Therefore if we are talking about security from the users perspective, transparent code is definitely not sufficient for security, but it is a precondition.

If you make the (IMO wrong) assumption that a developer on principle can never be a security threat to a user, then sure, you can claim that something non-free like iPhone is "secure". I guess it's secure in that Apple can be very secure you won't use it to run GPL'ed software?
Has this issue been fixed or do they still have to reboot every 248 days?
> For me, things will be wrong until we get rid of suffering, illness and death.

For me this doesn't make sense. I'm all for alleviating suffering, illness and death but can't see how total freedom from those things would be possible, or even desirable. I am aware that something called 'trans-humanism' exists, I'd just be interested to hear if anyone could argue for such a stance with reasonable integrity.
To out-pedanticize (?) your pedantry, by convention currencies are valued against other currencies - this is why the tickers at the bottom of Bloomberg show USD-EUR, USD-CNY, et cetera.

In the context of this thread, you're expected to interpret "the value of the Dollar is rising" as "it costs more Turkish Liras to buy a dollar today than it did yesterday."
Apple is the gold standard of mobile security and also a shining example of a closed source, proprietary ecosystem. This is coming from a dedicated Android user who has a preorder for a Librem 5. I did not order it for security reasons, I ordered it for ease of development. If I had sensitive information on my phone, it would be an iPhone. I just prefer living in the wild west.
yes I have a registration page prior to the main content page. No tutorial animation but I have a button inside the menu. and the emails were not really personalized since I don't have much other than their emails
It's easy to have both though. For a long time, my development environment has been a Linux VM (now OpenSUSE Leap 15) that I've moved from host to host. My MacBook has development tools but they're rarely used, as it's easier to just fire up VMware Fusion and the VM. I can easily snapshot or fully clone my development VM too.
I don't know why someone flagged the parent to this. I didn't really agree with him but I don't think he violated any rules.
Oy.

I use Evernote because of its excellent image markup. You can mix images and text in notes and really document an image-based or figure-based data flow. Not sure if there's any alternative that does this as well.
>* I don't know how much Apple and Google spend annually on outside security research for their flagship phones, but it's a lot. Who has Purism engaged to evaluate their designs and spot flaws?

At its inception you could make the same argument for most open-source projects which usually don't start decked out with cash. But most trusted and respected projects of today (especially in comp sec) are open-source as a prerequisite.
Is Lawrence Krauss a Physicist, or Just a Bad Philosopher? (2015)
.. so it's just because it sounds spooky?

Because I thought we were talking about CNN based image recognition in the real world, here.

Could you explain to me, in a few short steps, how we get from there to skynet? I'm assuming this involves top military brass just blithely taking humans out of the loop in drastic contradiction to 75 years of established US aerospace culture?

Seriously, I want to hear something convincing about why I'm wrong on this. There must be something.
> I already know what ORM code and raw SQL calls look like without him providing examples.

I do too and code that not only uses raw SQL (not that big a deal in and of itself) but also reinvents the whole persistence layer (which is the whole part of "ORM" that has nothing to do with writing SELECT statements or using DSLs) is a complete mess.

I really want to see the examples so I can learn from them and perhaps have it contribute back to my own ORM project (SQLAlchemy).
Well when you are trying to change the industry while doing invention this is very acceptable
HN’s interactions involving Mr. Davis — at the user and admin level — was always interesting and enlightening to see, in terms of how an online community should accommodate someone with mental illness while not tolerating the rants he was prone to make. Thank you to everyone who have and continue to openly and honestly discuss mental health issues.
Because the market for electric cars is small.

Also, the Chevy Bolt is a model 3 competitor and you can buy one today.
It's pretty common to deeply fear mental illness because we're all secretly afraid of it happening to us. It's the same feeling you get for a homeless person on the street, a combination of empathy and terror at the thought of ending up there.
Do you mean this - [1]? Yes, this was pretty cool! I esp liked how Mike, the person initiating the bet, initially was super-confident he'd win:

It would be very easy to point out to him the impossibility of his task, but far more interesting to see how long he will struggle with the problem before realizing it for himself.

Amount of engineering effort involved here would be immense and its unclear if a startup could achieve this and keep up with the developer/ecosystem velocity of Android.

I agree with you completely, and I think you would not be getting downvoted if the demographic of Hacker News readers was different. Being mentally ill doesn't mean that racist things you say aren't racist.
I agree that there is a point where SPA's make sense. Like Gmail. If a user logs in, they're probably going to stay a while and use quite a few features. But I'd be willing to bet that the vast majority of NYT visitors will load just one page and then navigate away. If someone is browsing their search results and EVERY website developer assumes that their visitor is in-it for the long haul, that one user is going to consume 12mb of data to load 3 pages off of 3 different domains.

I believe the point of the post wasn't to demonize Javascript, but to point out that there are a lot of low-hanging fruit in the world of web design and that it takes very little effort for developers to simply look at their design in terms of respecting users bandwidth and only using what you need to get your message across.

NYT sent this guy 2.8mb of data from 5 different domains to communicate 9037 bytes of requested content. That should resonate with anyone using multiple Javascript libraries, especially the ones who are offended.
You shouldn't flip things around, because there is observable evidence beyond source code. Not knowing everything about the world doesn't mean we know nothing.
Closed source and unverifiable are more orthogonal than not.
Manufacturers have caught on, hence the arrival of data packages, services packages to cover navigation and real time traffic, and BMW even charges to connect your Car Play. So fully expect manufacturers to find a way to profit off the car long term and expect more to eventually lock out Carplay/Android auto as revenue will be their first choice not paying Apple to use car play.

dealers will end up consolidating and there is easily one generation if not two still to be had doing service for petrol cars and related needs. dealers may morph into on demand rental hubs and the like.

now oem and after market parts companies of which I work for are going to have to scramble a bit. the heavy duty market will be a refuge for awhile.
This is not about publishing itself, but about access to published articles. Journals will keep wanting to maintain prestige and be picky, so guess which studies are not going to be accepted.
Aside from his brazen use of racial slurs how exactly was he racist? His racism always sounded like paranoid nervous talking. He was schizophrenic. Until you can actually show he was racist beyond clips of him using inappropriate language, stop spreading this. Racism is and always has been much much deeper than word choice. A homeless schizophrenic has absolutely no power to enact any kind of racism against anyone, and as a matter of fact was probably victim to a similar amount of discrimination due to his own position.
One thing I never see mentioned in these k8's threads is Openshift. Openshift solves most of the crappy things about k8's, including being much more secure and getting security updates from redhat.

(openshift runs on top of k8's for those who didnt know)
You read a lot into my comment that simply wasn't there. By freedom I was talking about freedom of speech.

> ...do you have an abyssimal rate of reintegration of ex-prisoners to literally every other Western country?

What does this have to do with freedom of speech and censorship online?

> ...do you have a president who actively recommends violence against journalists?

Criticism isn't violence. Stop it.

> ...is an absolute majority of your news stations owned by one mega-corp?

I don't know? Should we have 1 state sponsored news company like the BBC or Xinhua that dominates media? Also, what does this have to do with freedom of speech?

> You are in the most free country, so the best path is to cut the freedom to communicate globally?

No. I said we should protect freedom of speech. In other words, we should communicate globally on our terms, not on censored european, chinese or saudi terms.

> You are in the most free country, so the best path is to cut the freedom to communicate globally?...

Did I say I was against trade?

> needing THE INTERNET (filthy Brits)!

The brits didn't invent the internet. You would think that someone on HN would know the difference between the internet and the web. And even the world wide web was partly invented by a brit. Feel free to look up who invented the "hypertext" in hypertext protocol. Can I ask if you are a journalist or work in the news/media industry? It's obvious you aren't from the tech world.

The US has freedom of speech like no other in the world. If you disagree, then go look at the list of speech you could get arrested for in europe, russia, china, saudi arabia. And compare that to the US. Not sure why you had to bring in trade, prison, US nationalism and a poor understanding of the history of the internet into this. None of that has anything to do with free speech and censorship. I certainly don't think the US is the great at everything. But we certainly do free speech well.
I am even less clear why we're discussing this, then. You understand now why you can't use "ent" to evaluate a modern CSPRNG, right? That's all I want to accomplish.
I think about a decade ago or so MacBooks covered a nice sweet spot in terms of programming work. My bet is that this coincided with the growing world of web development too. It was a commercially-supported Unix laptop with decent hardware and a sturdy unibody shell. They came in a variety of sizes and a good number of ports for peripherals. A Linux or BSD laptop in the same capacity can require a little more work to source or configure.

I use Windows at work and both macOS and Linux at home for making games. I don't think I'll buy another MacBook in its current state, but I do think a lot of the Apple environment has been nice for programming, personally.
Yeah, I mentioned this in a reply to to a post that appears to have been flagged (I don't think it should have been, even though I disagreed with it), but I feel like none of us are fully immune from something like this happening to us; all it takes is one bad head injury to cause brain damage, and then all bets are off an how it's going to affect your mental state.
@tombert its because HN is full of cowards - they see a view that challenges their beliefs and makes them see another side of things and they run away, flag, downvote etc... i'm used to it. Its just the way things are if your black, unless I deicide to get down and praise a racist I am in violation of the implicit rules of HN and that is why I am flagged, down voted etc...

Macros and C++ templates are also incompatible with separate compilation which leads to increased compile times and binary bloat.
