Ubiquiti is not suitable for a business environment

I'd say that Ubiquiti is perfectly suited for a small business environment -- definitely a big step up from discrete consumer Asus routers throughout the office with no central management (and probably haven't been patched since the day they were installed).

Ubiquiti may not be suitable for a mid to large sized business, but for up to a ~100 person office or so, they come in at a great price point and have decent performance and manageability.

>$1.99 US a month, less than a cup of coffee!

At that price, I doubt they do.
The downside of the vendors you listed (and Cisco) is they require a support contract for software updates. If you lack said contract, you do not receive security updates.

Imo ubiquiti works fine for smaller offices. If you don't have enough people to justify an IT org it makes sense.
The usual way people have tried to solve the microtransactions problem is through aggregation/centralization. eg, everyone who wants to gives HN $K/mo, and then HN distributes that money proportionally to sites clicked.

Unfortunately, I think the incentives are too loose. Users aren't obligated in any way to pay for links; as usual, humans aren't charitable enough to actually sustain public goods voluntarily. Secondly, the aggregator site isn't under strong incentives to pass on revenues (which applies equally to ads).
There is no such thing as a hivemind here, just the consensus that it is wrong to sell your company to an entity that puts profit above people's privacy and wellbeing.
> All channel management will be by the devices working together, they can throttle down power if they are causing each other interference.

UniFi does not do this. At all. The Auto settings are the same as basically every other commodity AP out there -- look for the least noisy channel at boot, transmit full power, allow any client to remain associated regardless of signal strength.

UniFi has an ok tool for on-demand RF scans. It has all the appropriate knobs to tweak for optimizing coverage and encouraging devices with weak signal to associate with a better AP. But you have to do all of that yourself. Manually. Trial-and-error. There's absolutely no magic there.

It appears to me that almost all companies theoretically have a chance of growing that big. You never know what area they'll pivot into and if they'll find unexpected growth along the way. And so I think that there wouldn't be YCombinator's top 10% without the long tail of lesser-valued (and even longer tail of failed) startups. A lot of it comes down to the people who run them and pure chance. So it doesn't make much sense to say that a startup will not be worth $SOME_VALUATION at some indeterminate point in the future. We see these 180° changes a lot when looking at successful companies in retrospect, and they can deliver order of magnitude differences in market cap.

Of course, if you're not building a startup but an "ordinary", self-sustainable company (37Signals is a widely known example), then VCs and YCombinator are not for you. But that kind of follows from the definition.

I'm still confused about the connection back to Google in China, if that's implied here.

I absolutely agree that the US government's behavior regarding detention, torture, rendition, and so on was horrifying and immoral, and it betrays an utter lack of conscience in most everyone involved.

And, I agree that the acts remain dubiously legal at best. For American-administered treatment, the determination of combatant status was almost certainly done improperly to the Geneva standard. For foreign administration, the practice of extraordinary rendition itself was unambiguously illegal, and if "here, violate the Constitution for us" wasn't actually illegal, it was obviously counter to intent.

The thing I still can't reconcile is how Google's action undirected by the USG is comparable to torture/rendition/etc done directly under government instruction. The Bill of Rights doesn't even bind non-government actors domestically, so I'm struggling to understand the appeals in this thread to 'enforce' it regarding Google in China.

Tesla apparently designed their own chip specifically for neural net vision as GPUs were not fast enough - including nVidias Tesla chip which is currently being put in their cars.

Musk mentioned they got a 10x boost from doing so in their last investor call:

"I'm a big fan of NVIDIA, they do great stuff. But using a GPU, fundamentally it's an emulation mode, and then you also get choked on the bus. So, the transfer between the GPU and the CPU ends up being one of the constraints of the system"

"And as a rough sort of whereas the current NVIDIA's hardware can do 200 frames a second, this is able to do over 2,000 frames a second and with full redundancy and fail-over."

The point I think a few are trying to make is that the censorship in China issue is completely unrelated and irrelevant with respect to the monopoly issue.

You want to break them up with anti-trust because they're a monopoly? Sure. Go ahead and investigate and figure that out.

You want to ... punish/regulate/? them because they do business in China? You may not like it, but I don't see under what regulation or law you can do that?

The best analogy is US companies that contract with sweatshops. There's actually not a lot I'm aware of that can be done in the US court system, outside of utilizing trade treaties that require adherence to certain labor regulations.
>as opposed to authorities signing current state

That's what it solves. It removes the need for trust and dependence in a central authority. There's no central actor to hack, or that can abuse the system, or be compelled to censor.

Consider Paypal. They're obligated to follow the regulations of every single government whose citizens they serve. Paypal themselves can also make value judgements. That severely limits who can use the system, for what purposes, in what quantities, and how frequently.
Crazy that Elon Musk's top 3 founded companies (PayPal, Tesla, SpaceX) are higher valuation than YC's top 3 investment companies (AirBnB, Stripe, Dropbox).

Interestingly PayPal and Stripe are both competing for some of the same integrations. PayPal increased our revenues by 20% when we started using it in addition to Stripe.

Building a business is absolutely not like winning a lottery. There is no instant win.

The vast majority is hard work on executing a plan, so that you're even in the correct place to take advantage of a lucky opportunity that comes along. Even the lottery requires you to actually buy a ticket at some point. Luck is a part of everyone's lives, but nothing happens without action.

And how do you know what's a wise course for anyone else? There are stories of success and failures everywhere. Learn from them all, and do what you want.
The evolution of their SQL schema (around ~45:00 on) is pretty cool.

For example to implement undo/version control for files, they just added a single `prev_rev` column. There are some arguably better (but more complicated) ways to do it but it would've been premature optimization since this simple solution clearly worked out for them.
Yes, of course. But my point is that stories of success aren’t necessarily harmful and in some ways are important.
Antarctica: From Geology to Human History
UniFi is already mentioned elsewhere in the comments already, so this whole post is likely redundant. If you're at the level of cobbling together consumer routers, even flashed to DD-WRT/Tomato/whatever, change. If someone your team is Cisco certified from a previous life as a network engineer, and insists you use Meraki kit and pay the fees, well, you're in SF and paying SF salaries anyway, so probably just go for it.

If you run a full UniFi stack, you can view your entire topology in the dashboard--it'll tell you which switch port or access point/SSID a client is connected to. Here's my home topology:

https://imgur.com/MnJwHiB

Note that most switches are double-uplinked for 2000Mbps throughput, and there's a 10-gigabit core router. 10gbe isn't nearly as expensive as you might think, especially for very small teams. It is possible to get access points to deliver 500-700Mbps speeds, too--that's going to depend a lot more on your device's radios than anything. See speed benches for UniFi kit at: https://goo.gl/RL4kkW

This guide doesn't cover VLANs, but it probably should mention they exist. Any IOT or networked camera type devices that don't need Internet access shouldn't be allowed egress, and VLANs are an easy way to implement network segregation. You almost certainly want a guest network too, both wired and wireless.
Not for certain cars, however, as it seems you can still buy just about any part, new or even enhanced, for common 50s-70s American cars --- which don't even have a computer.
Good point. We're in San Francisco, and yeah, we should add a hiring page. :)
I'm not sure if I can agree. For example, an analysis that puts a lower bound on the magnitude of rent decreases is here:

https://www.federalreserve.gov/econres/feds/files/2018035pap...

They perform a simulation where everybody from Monterey to Marin to Stockton is equally happy living anywhere, and only cares about a handful of neighborhood characteristics. They then add a small amount of housing for individual desirable areas, holding everything else constant, and let people move whereever they will; i.e. if a person in Monterey gets to save $5 on rent for a place in the Sunset that's otherwise identical in "desirability" to their Monterey place, they're likely to move.

Even in this outlandish situation, rents decrease quite a bit. For a 5% increase in supply, there's a 0.5% decrease in rents. A 20% increase in supply, there's a 1.8% decrease in rents.

This study is often cited to make the opposite point: that it's impossible build to decrease rent. However, even small, focused amounts of building result in decreases in rents in this model.

Increasing density in the Sunset with lots of apartments where there are single family homes would have a huge impact, that would be potentially a 100% or 200% increase in supply. That would do a ton for the crisis in San Francisco.

> If you don't have enough people to justify an IT org it makes sense.

Disagree, and not just because of the GPL violations and security issues. There are enough subtle bugs (e.g. data corruption with hardware acceleration) and design flaws (e.g. overheating) that you are setting yourself up for intermittent bugs (a.k.a. trouble) if you don't have someone well versed in diagnosing network issues. It's powerful enough to do fun things in a home lab, but it's way too complex for a professional setting where there's nobody around with the skills to troubleshoot it.

Enterprise gear is expensive, yes.
Hey HN, I loved the experience of card scan products, but found they don't work well with more recent card designs. We're re-implementing the OCR algorithms from the ground up to work on a much broader range of card types, and also doing some checks to make sure the cards are real (which will help a lot with fraud).

It's not really the same thing when you are worried about gentrification. While culture is a part of it, the biggest issue is that many do not own in poorer neighborhoods. They rent. And they know that gentrification will slowly push them all from their homes as rents creep upward.

So, it's not that white people will ruin the Hispanic culture, it's that having no Hispanic residents will ruin the Hispanic culture.

I wonder if you know of situations in which a project maintainer would not review/accept a patch because of the background of the patch author.

It would require them to specifically search for information about the author, which I can’t imagine anyone doing. That, unlike posting something on twitter, would indeed be indecent.

I’ve seen many instances of project contributors being flamed because of their “bad” behavior on twitter or elsewhere, but have not seen anyone accused not judging a specific contribution based on its merit.
This is interesting as an investigative work, but what of it?

Are we to believe only Russia conducts extra-judicial assassinations of people of interest? And do we expect the governments responsible to come out and admit it?

To me this circus around this particular assassination just appears to stem from having to justify sanctions against Russia by the UK. But then again, I don't expect a country to come out and admit that they'll sanction a country just to weaken it's economy and provoke social instability until they get a more favorable government.

For the G3/AFs, you feed the wire into the mount, which is tight especially if you're not aiming straight ahead (which I assume few people are doing). The Flex gives you more leeway, but because the cameras are inexpensive, the wall mounts for them are reflective of the cost savings, which means "not great".

The motion sensing is quite sensitive and there's no machine learning behind the analysis like there is with Nest. I prefer the Unifi Video's motion sensing set up over that of Zoneminder which I was using before.

I find myself creating less-sensitive motion sensing zones where I know there are plants/trees that are going to blow plus where they might cast shadows.

The "before" and "after" settings for motion detection are pretty important if you think your footage is getting cut off at the beginning or the end of the clip. I use a setting of 5 seconds.

Since I came from crappy wifi IP cams, I've been very happy with my setup.

I'm currently using an inexpensive NUC as my Unifi Controller and NVR. I have four cameras recording on motion sensing (the others are for monitoring only). The only time I have issues is when I run Duplicati in the background to backup the video files to a NAS. Duplicati is a bit of a pig, but I'm not a Linux expert, and Duplicati was familiar and easy to set up.

From everything I've seen and heard, Nest is great, but I find the subscription fees to be excessive, but ymmv based on your own needs.

Does Google not perform surveillance on American citizens through the NSA Prism program? [0]

I'm against all forms of surveillance, but it seems hypocritical to criticize Google for complying with immoral foreign laws when they also comply with immoral domestic laws.

Edit: Ah, apparently conforming with Chinese laws doesn't just extend to surveillance, but aiding in the genocide of the Uyghur people. That's a lot worse.
2. You're making it seem like Google is entitled to all the business it wants. That's not true in the least.

Why not?
Not taking sides, but I think you're presenting a false dichotomy. I think the point of the OP was "This is like hitting the lottery and encouraging everyone to buy numbers".

Most people don't win the lottery, so don't ever expect this to happen to you, no matter how hard you try. Again, my interpretation, not opinion.
It's not an end-all for supply chains, but that doesn't make it useless. It still prevents forgery of old records. If someone signs something, they can't later go back and change it or claim they didn't.
But the comment I responded to didn't say that, so I don't know why you'd expect the comparison to address that. The comment said that failing to go after everyone at the same time as Google violates the prohibition on bills of attainder.

"It's a bill of attainder if you go after Google for violating people's privacy unless you simultaneously — not later, but simultaneously — go after everyone for violating people's privacy" is exactly the same as "It's a bill of attainder if you go after me for X unless you simultaneously — not later, but simultaneously — go after everyone for X."

Whether or not you think they should be able to go after anyone for what Google is doing is a different question, but it's definitely not a bill of attainder to go after one party before others, which was the thing that was called a bill of attainder here ("We'll get to them eventually.. but why shouldn't we go after the biggest business first?").
don't forget:

- safety net in the form of a wealthy family

I’m not going to touch the majority of the bait you’re laying out and instead merely note that the “circus” was probably more a result of the extensive and expensive decontamination required over a large area. Oh yes, and the civilian who died and her partner who was affected. That kind of thing tends to make people pretty upset, no need for sprawling conspiracies of the state required. Personally it didn’t seem like much of a circus unless... did you see the decontamination tents and get a little confused?
