The situation in the US is very unique. You will be hard pressed to find any country with this level of paranoia and fear with police stops, acts of excessive violence including completely unnecessary killings, and requirement for complete 'submission' by the police. It's like a police state, but for minorities.

Its tragic the loss of life in this vulgar way can be hand waved away in a civilized country. It's a double dehumanization of victims, one to allow this callous behavior by the police and the second to justify it and let it stand. Often juries release brazen case of murders and elected justice officials support the police by default so its not just the police but the entire justice system that enables this cycle of murder, terrorism and violence.

What is also unique is the support and justification for this kind of policing by many who do not experience the same behavior from the police and infact can count on them to 'protect' and defend.

This is intimately linked to privilege and racism and how the police have been used systematically to harass and terrorize minorities right from enforcing segregation, laws like jaywalking against mostly black people, suppressing the civil rights movement, the drug war, demonization of blacks by administrations like Reagan who ran systematic advertising campaigns linking black populations to crack.

LG Watch W7: Hands-On Review
These chips were REPORTED TO BE designed by the Chinese military and inserted by PLA agents.

Big difference, which is parent's point.
Ask HN: How do you organize your stuff?
So, I'm having an issue right now that is accruing rapidly. I have a lot of documents, images, pdfs, videos, code snippets, files, etc, etc that I have tried to organize by category into directories. Well, I quickly find myself with dozens of directories and then it's getting difficult and taking lots of brain power to think about which directory to put things when downloaded. How should I handle this?
Rethink robotics closes its doors
We need to focus more on morbidity rather than mortality. The former is for when you stop functioning well, the latter is when you die. Living to 95 when hooked up to machines, immobile, and in pain is clearly inferior to being relatively mobile and dropping suddenly at 85.
I don't think there needs to be a conspiracy for vehement denials to make sense. Security is a hugely important reputational good for both Apple & AWS.

If this is indeed the case, I'm surprised someone didn't catch something earlier when the device was calling "home" over their network. I'm wondering if China stole BlackRidge First Packet Authentication tech [1] to keep things dark. BlackRidge is... "involved" in IC and defense projects.

I'm very curious at what is in that chip. I wonder how much we can reverse engineer it.
Honestly, you could do that in almost the same time on Kubernetes.

I understand why people might not want to invest the time onto learning a new technology, but that's not a reason to say it's a bad fit. If you know how to use Kubernetes, doing these bash scripts and doing a few YAML files will take basically the same time and the end result will be vastly superior on Kubernetes.

This is just the hack that was discovered because there was macroscopic evidence of it. All it would take to pull off a similar hack that was undetectable is one well placed mole in the company that designed a key piece of silicon or software.
For random toy projects, spinning up a whole Kubernetes cluster is absolutely overkill (unless part of the project is learning Kubernetes). The thing is as you get further along, for some applications, it becomes harder and harder to move to a container-based design as you have to unwind all the weird dependency mappings. I've got an app I've been involved with containerizing for a client at work, and they're dead set on sticking with an Ubuntu 14.04 base container, because they legitimately don't know if it'll even function on a more modern base, and don't feel they can spare the development cycles to figure it out. Thing is, it started as a toy application, deployed to a server by manually SSHing in and doing a git pull from the repo (not even rsync!) and restarting all the services, and that's still how it's deployed in production today.

Containers (and thus Kubernetes) aren't the magical solution to every problem in the world. But they help, and the earlier you can get to an automated, consistent build/deploy process with anything that'll actually serve real customers, the better off you are. Personally, I'd rather design with containers in mind from day one, because it's what I'm comfortable with. There's nothing wrong with deploying code as a serverless-style payload, or even running on a standalone VM, but you need to start planning for how something should work in the real world as early as you can reasonably.

Yes, 2 only applies to server-side Blazor.

"Server-side Blazor" itself will be renamed[0] to Razor Components so as to disambiguate it with WASM-in-the-browser, which will still be called Blazor.

Razor Components seems to be a blend of different kinds of web programming models, as described by the parent poster:

- Traditional: POST + Redirect + GET

- Single Page App: Thick client in JS

- Razor Components: Traditional, but instead of POST+Redirect, it uses Web Sockets to asynchronously update state.

Razor Components are being shipped because it's building off well-known, mature technologies. OTOH, Blazor (WASM in browser) is still baking. For example, there is no tree-shaking to minimize the minimize the size of components needed to run your Blazor app. (IIRC, the average size of a basic nav app is ~2MB.)

Nice idea! I have heard of and seen some variable fonts at work in active gifs, but not in a sandbox setting. So I guess I am your target user ;-).

The demo works for me on Chrome, but not on Safari (12.0).
China is not a friend to the US alone, many countries hate them for their unethical practices
I agree with you, I think K8s is great to learn so you know what it can do, but I wouldn't use it for personal projects. For that, I recommend something like Dokku, which is very easy to get started with.

For Kubernetes, I found the docs a bit bad, the starting concepts are very easy to grok but the docs obfuscate them. I wrote a very short article on the basics [0], for anyone who might be interested in learning. After reading the article, reading the docs should be much easier, as you'll know the terms much more intuitively.

Flask’s page doesn’t mention django, an avr microcontroller’s page doesn’t mention x86, my bash static site generator readme doesn’t mention wordpress...

None of this is strange.
Mainly because once you get more than a few arguments, it gets tedious to start newing them all up and all of their dependencies and on down the stack. So some people built frameworks to do it for you but each of these frameworks requires their own configuration/documentation and suddenly instead of 50 lines of news, you have annotations in twenty different files that effect the way your code runs without actually being code. Each step to get from A to Z seems perfectly logical but the end result is a difficult place to start.
Running Powerful Tor Exit Nodes
Why not? Are you surprised that interrogation room cameras keep rolling when the police leave the room?
Second. To this video. Further. Immediately declare you want to see an attorney. Nothing else ever. When you are placed into a room by the police:

0) You are video recorded. Hide your face. If possible sit under the camera. (They usually mount it on the ceiling).

1) A trick: Letting your friends/family visit you. Always refuse.

2) Giving you many servings of soft drinks and water without bathroom breaks. Refuse liquids.

3) A trick: Telling you they have more evidence than they do. "Your friend said you did this...", "We have you on film..." "Your wife said..." "It will be easier if you just..."
There is nothing in the article suggesting that the license plate readers in the signs would be used for speed enforcement. The big problem here is that the cameras are intended to be secret. Openly using license plate readers for actual speed enforcement raises much less serious issues as there are politically enforced limits on what the data can be used for.
That didn't really remove language features though. That removed framework features.
It seems like many people take communist-like propaganda at face value.

The Chinese government would like to have almost-complete control. The Chinese government publicly says it has high levels of control.

But when they can't effectively regulate their medical (mass HIV infection from blood plasma needle reuse), food (tainted milk), or chemical (unlicensed mass CFC production) industries... reality seems to differ.
California Governor Approves Bills Tightening Security, Privacy of IoT Devices
Works for me in Firefox too.
The manufacturer shipped the device to us from China. We were already customer. The device would already have been locked. We would customize it some more (injecting cryptographic keys, application, placing our labels on the device) and then send them to merchants. The merchants were never customers, they would get it on loan from us. This was the only way to do it as the device could not be re-used with other acquirer so it only functioned as long as the merchant had valid merchant account with us.

Letting a developer drop the production database[1] is not good either, but trusting a person to do their job correctly is baked into every organization and level. Still, accidents happen - there is no fool-proof way to stop humans from behaviours that are ultimately harmful. Elaborate systems will have elaborate loopholes.

Even if they were bound by a non-disclosure order, this response goes beyond what's necessary to refute the story and conveys material information which would be used against Apple by shareholders if it is later found to be factually inaccurate.
This is standard PRINCE project management skills and what is most surprising is that we had to forget it and go focus on agile to remember the value of it.

If one has tasks that are fully independent, then one has no dependencies. Once you have dependencies (and almost everyone does) then you now have the capability for them to block other tasks, or to create slippage down the tree of dependencies.

Recognising a critical path and ensuring that those tasks always have higher priority is why project management is not something that should be over-simplified.
There's denial and there's vehement to the point complete denial from multiple different companies.

It's either a giant conspiracy by the FBI and multiple mega-corporations to blatantly lie, on public record, about a matter that if happened would most likely come up in the future again.
Furthermore if apple and amazon were both notified for comments, there is good reason to suspect that the FBI would hear of the article and try to censor such an article for national security reasons, especially so if they made apple and amazon lie about it.

Or ... Bloomberg didn't do their due diligence and were too eager to be duped by agents who wanted to push an agenda to move manufacturing away from china or something similar.
I actually have astigmatism so that might be why I think it's even harder to read on black/dark themes. So yeah, definitely true in my case.
Heh. Thanks for playing. I forgot the brainfuck puzzle.
Show HN: Unicorn Platform – HTML landing page generator
Keras vs. PyTorch code side-by-side on transfer learning project
I see what you mean, but I don't really agree. You can introduce that burden and complexity whenever you want. If you spend the start of your project working on this, you will be prepared for scaling (if you ever need it) but you could have used that time on actually working on the project and checking if you actually will need scale at some point.

I don't know about your projects, but I'm my case most (all) of them doesn't really need any kind of scale. Hell, this blog has a tiny 5$ DO machine and is still happily serving traffic from HN. I do understand not all projects are small blog instances, though :)

I guess in my case I prefer to just keep it simple and see how far I go with that setup than spending time working on making the perfectly-scalable project that is never serving more than 2 requests per second. If it ever grows, I will need to work to make it scale, sure, but on the other hand that is a good problem to have.

Anyway, I understand this is pretty subjective and depends on how you think about your projects and your requirements, so I do understand there will be people both in agreement and disagreement.
Probably it never left RAM...
Since I started working for a UI/UX design company, I notice so much of this. It gets annoying really fast if you developed an eye for it.
HN to me is about celebrating hackery with things like this :-)
Hey!

I'm Alex. I've created a landing page generator for startups and side-projects. It produces HTML templates for export, so you can host it anywhere (GitHub Pages FTW).
Unicorn Platform got 1050+ upvotes on Product Hunt btw.

The product contains 2 independent repositories:

1) Templates

2) The generator

1) Templates are crafted with SCSS, PUG, and jQuery. Some may say that jQuery is an anachronism. But hell nope. jQuery is still a big time-saver when it comes to DOM manipulations.

2) The generator is made with ReactJS. I'm so grateful to https://github.com/facebook/create-react-app for saving tons of time with configuring the building.
Authentication runs on Google Firebase. And I must say it's a blast! Setting it up took just a few hours - and that includes time for creating the Facebook dev entity and the Twitter dev application. Google Firebase Auth takes care of duplicates as well. If your user signs up via email method using "john.doe@gmail.com" and then tries to sign up with a Facebook account attached to the same "john.doe@gmail.com" email, Google Firebase is smart enough to detect that and offer a user his initial method of authenticating. Pretty sweet.

I used Paddle for payments. Paddle has nice API. All I need to validate whether a user is upgraded to Pro is to send one tiny cURL request.

I tried to make the templates generation process as simple as I can. I have an independent .html file single component. When a user picks a component I just upload the .HTML file contents and inject it in the editor's DOM so user instantly sees what he will get after exporting.
When a user wants to export a page I compose a single .HTML file which contains heading info, footer and the components HTML in between. I use vanilla PHP to compose the final .HTML file.

It's a commercial product but there are some components that will allow you to create a website for a pet project for free. Without even signin up.

I would appreciate any feedback.
Honestly if it weren't programming I feel like this is a movie-worthy story. To me it sounds so thrilling like a spy movie plot but am I just imagining that or was it actually this crazy / cool / integral to way bigger moving parts / things like I'm assuming? Regardless kudos. Your story definitely started my day on a happy note, thanks!
You could...
detect pressure build up -> assume clogged

set pressure 0

open a solenoid connected to h2o2 with enough elevation to reach the clog

detect flow increase ->assume unclogged

close solenoid, set pressure 50 psi (or whatever)

This might best be done with a hydraulic circuit rather than electronic sensors, by the way. Ie. to detect pressure build up have a secondary line with slight resistance before the nozzle that when pressurized triggers other hydraulic elements which cut pressure, etc.

Everything other than Linux...
That last sentence is the important part: "if you aren't very careful". I work in multiple large java/spring codebases and the rule we use is "Keep all configuration related to the same base type/interface in the same file". That way if you want to find out which logger is injected you only have to check 1 file.

Another easy way to find out what is injected at runtime is to attach a debugger and set a breakpoint.
"If you are on Kubernetes, then you are not locked in to any cloud provider"

...but I would be beholden to GNU/Linux and have to do the same thing I do with SmartOS in a far more complex way, built on an operating system substrate which cannot provide the reliability that I need to be able to sleep through my nights without an incident.

Kubernetes, Docker, Linux are a time sink that I can never get back, on things which Solaris solved far better and reliably 20 years ago. I don't want to go from a Pegasus to a donkey.
Most of them! That is their deadliest trait. They've a lifetime of experience trying to disguise themselves among normal people. Their ability to cloak themselves is how they prey on you.

The ironic thing about your reply is that it is crafted in exactly the type of management speak that executives used to convince stakeholders in both occasions.

"absolve relevant parties of their responsibilities" - what relevant parties? What responsibilities? It sounds great and responsible, giving a good impression of dismissal of the point made, but the wording is so general as to be impossible to act upon - just as with "a bank". I'm sure standardised checklists were ticked, committees reviewed the decisions and came to the conclusion that it was best, the board was satisfied with the new direction taken by the CTO's organisation, and the shareholders happy with the cost reduction at the time as described by the board. To paraphrase Thatcher, what colour trousers do the relevant parties wear?

You see this defection pattern everywhere. For example, the never ending stream of useless new features in most Google and some Microsoft products which coincidentally get slower and buggier every year, because you can get promoted for the visible addition of a feature as a PM, but it is much harder to prove that getting the Gmail app load time down by 70% has stopped the feeding of your best power users to the competition (Calendar is too easy a target for criticism).

The classic defector on the tech side is the "ninja rockstar developer" whose prolific output of code and visually attractive but functionally superficial features is matched only by the amount of frustration generated after they are promoted somewhere else or changes jobs if it doesn't happen fast enough, and the rest of the team has to deal with the technical debt and new, unrealistic user expectations.

Security is another good candidate for shortcuts, since there is no visible upside to good security (maybe you were just not attacked) and tons of downside for taking responsibility since you make yourself a visible scapegoat for blame when a crisis does happen.

And note that none of these examples are in "move fast and break things" i.e. "do illegal things and hope they become legal ex-post" territory! I personally take great pains to understand these dynamics so that I can avoid them in my own company, which is a matter of survival.
I started to write a much longer response but don't have time. My IQ was tested at 142 some decades ago and, from what I've read, would be higher cause the tests have changed.

I was always very successful in my jobs but, when it came to starting my own business, I needed a lot of active encouragement or I would give up too quickly. However, in two cases, a business clicked with me, for some reason, which made me excited and driven. While others commented on my innovative approach to those businesses that made them successful, it was the enthusiasm that kept me going, followed by the excitement of success. You might say it's the difference between being a good player on a bad sports team versus a good player on a first place team. My IQ, perhaps, helped me see things most did not but it's the enthusiasm that keeps me going and, especially helpful, encouragement and support from others, not my IQ.
I generally dislike mushrooms but I was pretty moved by Joe Rogan's podcast #1035 with Paul Stamets. Despite being over 2 hours long I suggested it to and watched it in it's entirety with several different people and each time we end up discussing the content off and on for weeks or months afterwards. Highly recommended.
