It's part of the shadowy arms race that's been taking place for the last few decades in cyber space. The public has been kept mostly in the dark about it; either because the details are too technical and/or the stakes are ambiguous. Unfortunately it's lead to a world where every country says "if they're doing it then we have to, because if we don't they will have capabilities we don't." Legal barriers, liberties, and rights are damned when the security of our technological society is at risk. It's really concerning.

I don't think peoples complaints of YouTube are invalid at all.

But I think it is interesting how much credit these people that monetize YouTube don't give google at all.

Video hosting has always been expensive comparatively. They are large files. You tube stores multiple resolutions of your files.

YouTube hosting your video is free. You don't pay for it. These people that are bringing in $500 - $4,000 crying that 'youtube isn't giving me all my money' seem to also have a sense of entitlement in itself.

YouTube has a relationship with its creators. Creators get free video hosting, a video social platform and they can earn quite a bit of money doing it. YouTube in turns get a portion of the ad money too.

When YouTube demonetizes something they lose money too. They know their system can hurt their bottom-line in the end.

Understanding this is a business relationship between the two entities would probably make their attempts more professional. Maybe open a business that represents a large sets of these YouTubers instead of each one make a video about it. That way their collective views are significant chunk and they can apporoach YouTube as a professional entity.

Instead they post drama videos about it.
The US obsession with loopholes and "letter of the law" is a historical religious thing. US is protestant, where the language of the bible is made availible to all. Everyone is free to read and invent an interpretation, to find thier own loopholes. Europe follows a more catholic tradition, where biblical language is interpreted through priests. Hence, european judges (legal priests) are given more authority to interpret language and smooth out rough edges. It is centuries-old culture.
In my experience, PE is only relevant in two areas: civil engineering and power engineering. It is not common anywhere else, including aerospace engineering or biomedical engineering. So it's not just software where it is uncommon.
I think that Dankula's intent was the one that the video made clear - comedy.

It's pretty dishonest to play up the democracy aspect of an agency that gets its warrants from a secret court.
I never actually made it to this step because it costs $800 to form a LLC in california.

I went with a more futile attempt to do everything anonymously, pay hosting with bitcoins, etc. But this is basically impossible from an opsec point of view (which should restore some faith in the legal system in the sense that I never figured out a way to opt out of it).

Subpoenas[1] basically cost nothing(<$100) for your typical lawyer to issue. Everything you touch will very eagerly give up all your info when subpoenaed (e.g., your typical domain registrar will spew your name, address, payment information, ip addresses logged in from, etc).

TLDR; I am disappointed that this headline is not satirical.
> Just wrap it in a LLC so it can't bankrupt you

There are many ways it can.
> It used to be a pragmatic extension to C, now it's about trend-chasing.

no, it's about maximizing performance, because C++ libs are what countless software build upon. Maybe someone will want to use this to display a 4*4k mural screen with 2000000 of those displayed and changing in real-time. Just using a <map> instead of a hash-container (there's a compile-time one just on top of HN right now which would fit the bill perfectly since these are known at compile time) is already a fairly big smell.
Sure, it's easy to rationalize decisions like these, and even find great arguments in favor of them. But, you still have to sleep with yourself a night.

I guess in the end it just boils down to how well you can cope with yourself.

New cybersecurity business model: Pay-per-phish
If you’re making the statement in relation to this article; not at all. Very few people would be targeted by something like this. The cost to develop and maintain is too high to risk a leak. If I worked in a high-security environment, I would be paranoid - but not about malware, more about being harmed.

Thx for the info. So could this possibly run as a browser plugin?

That way the site doesn’t need to assert its own trust? And you wouldn’t have to deal with the heavy lift of updating every news site.

Just thinking out loud typing... you could integrate this with an ad blocker so that only cert content could show an ad. This would create an incentive model not only for the publisher but the advertising partners to make sure content is good and certified. Sites and content with no cert or lost cert would block ads for that page and for repeat offenders you could escalate to say all ads are blocked for the sesssion.

While I’m not a fan of ads I understand their purpose and maybe with something like the above, the market could find equilibrium once again.
Actually, I can kinda see his argument.

They have this data which is not digitized. Someone requests the data in a digitized form.

So, they go down their normal process for digitizing. They have certain standards for digitizing, and it hits the minimum threshold for going to tender (Maybe $10k).

It's a government organisation so they have to create a tender which organisations would bid for, and everything has to be certified to correct standards, insured, etc.

Reclaim The Records might be able to do it cost for $3k, but it still has to go to tender, and Reclaim the Records would have to prove they can meet all the requirements and such, which would probably quickly increase the cost.

Once it goes to tender, all the costs are waaaay higher, because you have to cover the costs of bidding and such.

Duling, who has a bushy white beard, somber blue eyes, and thick hands calloused from decades of labor, hails from a family corn farm in central Nebraska. He led me on a tour of the drill—up and through and under, like walking through the belly of a carnival ride, pointing here and there to give a kind of genealogy of its parts. “That’s a dairy storage tank,” he said as he pointed toward a truck-sized cylinder overhead. “A stirring tank, like out of a cheese factory. I bought it used from Ullmer’s Dairy in Pulaski, Wisconsin.”

The answer is: yes.

I get the point, but I wouldn't want anyone reading that and taking the conclusion seriously. Forming an LLC in that case is pretty much a waste of time and money that offers a false sense of security.
Contrary to your summary, the quote makes a good case for 0-based indexing, both theoretical and practical. How can an argument based on reason become an argument from authority just because someone well known said it?

I don't know how anyone has the energy to write code for 50+ hours a week for a whole year. Surely you have some burn out with that as your base-line cadence.

I have no doubt some younger people, competitive alpha minds would take this in their stride, but I worry this culture of hyper competitiveness permeates into employment. When this stuff is accepted as 'work ethic' and normalized you tilt toward what some asian cultures are experiencing today - producing overworked unhappy individuals.

Personally I don't think it's great to brag about how hard you work. I don't think it's ok to be proud of bootcamps (although 42 School explicitly says it's not a boot camp which is a little Orwellian). People should be proud of being healthy, getting enough sleep, eating well, having social interactions, learning, cultivating well balanced meaningful lives.

To truly be a school of the 21st century we need to do away with this culture of stress. It's killing the best of us.
Ask HN: How do you find interesting companies to apply to?
I monitor StackOverflow Jobs, HN Who's Hiring and a few language-specific sites already, but I'm aware that a lot of the most interesting jobs never go up on aggregators. I'm wondering if there's a good list of interesting small-to-mid-size tech companies that I could use to pick out some places I want to periodically check.

I'm primarily looking in London so ideally the site in question would have the ability to filter by location, but it might be worthwhile even without.

I got familiar with a slide rule when I studied for my pilot's license, through the "E6B flight computer"[1]. This is essentially a slide rule for specialised calculations (knots-km/h, gallons-litres, density altitude, etc). The E6B is still a mandatory piece of equipment for student pilots but generally regarded as outdated, even by instructors.

As an early millennial I'd never ran into this 17th century marvel called slide rule. When I asked the instructor how it works (rather than how to use it) he answered along the lines of "don't ask, it just does".

The truth is that everyone who programs seriously at any level can deal with both 0- and 1- based indexing. It's just not that hard to get used to.

And science has lots of 1- based indexing: Matlab, Fortran, R, most math...
Fun fact, before Apple so graciously incorporated this feature into their software, it was a tweak you could install after jailbreaking the previous versions of iOS. Same with the "quick reply" from notifications and a dozen other actually useful features. This behavior from Apple reinforced my belief that all they do is absorb other's innovations, make them shiny, and then sell at a ridiculous markup.

I agree with the author that the iPhone is hard to use

Tend to agree. Most Christian music sounds very samey to me and simply doesn't stir my soul.

I realise this is a very personal perspective, but I find a lot of "secular" music better for worship: Hendrix, Led Zep, Guns 'N' Roses, Soundgarden, Hybrid, She, Pendulum, and of course plenty of orchestral and ensemble music from earlier eras. This stuff stirs my soul.

I'm honestly not trying to be edgy here, and I'm well aware that this isn't going to be everyone's (or even the majority's) bag, and I'm definitely not suggesting that Christian music needs to change for my benefit (it really doesn't). That's all totally OK: it's just me saying that after 22 years of being a Christian I know who I am.

The atmosphere of Venus on ground level is incredibly hostile.
467 °C temperature, pressure equal to 900 m underwater, winds with speeds of 100 m/s and covered in clouds of sulphuric acid it even has lightning strikes. The longest we have been able to keep a probe operational on the surface of Venus was 2 hours.While the gravity is slightly lower than on earth the pressure itself would make it incredible hard to launch anything from the surface back up. It's like launching an armoured rocket from 900 m below the sea while being bombarded by lightning and acid eating away at you + lifting up resources at the same time.

Apologies, didn't want it to sound like "you have to use Ryzen for everything now" :)

I wouldn't recommend it to most of my friends or my family for the same reason you mentioned, none of them will utilize those cores.

It just works really well for me and it wildly surpassed my own expectations as I was quite used to the fact that my machine wasn't really usable while I run Kubernetes locally. My workflow used to be:

1. write some code
2. start Kubernetes, wait for it to boot and test the code that I wrote
3. tear it down
4. write some more code
5. repeat

I would be loosing quite a lot of time. Also, while waiting for it to start, I would usually get distracted and start doing something else. Ryzen changed this workflow and boosted my productivity. Now I don't even notice whether k8s is running or not, sometimes I forget it for days :D I can't stress enough how important it is to have a lag free development environment.

Most here are not trained architects. Well, I am a trained architect and also worked as architect for over a decade. That's what we learned at school. That what was considered important. And much more BTW. Architects are generalists. Many architects went on to work in engineering, civil engineering, social studies, informatics/computer science, physics, politics, literature, stage design, city planning, movies, ... You name it, we did it.

Interesting to note that legacy mainframe sorting isn't just moving values around in memory like all the algorithms we mostly study today. Mainframes back then had vanishingly small amounts of RAM (compared to what we have today) and had to use tape and later disk (dasd) for any real storage. So this type of sort is known as disk or tape sort. One "nicety" was that most records on tape (and subsequently disk) were "fixed" length, so could count on advancing x number of bytes reliably for next/prev record etc.

It was a different era for sure.

Hi everyone!

We're thrilled to announce the launch of Jumpstart, a crowdfunding platform for clean energy.

The IPCC came out with a report earlier this month that said that the world has to increase investments into clean energy tenfold to mitigate the worst impacts of climate change. A lot of people are really worried and want to know what they can do to help.

We've come up with a solution. Jumpstart is a crowdfunding platform that enables anyone to fund clean energy projects anywhere in the world. We connect loans to thoroughly-vetted projects that have the greatest possible impact and the highest marginal value. We launched today with high-impact solar projects in Montana, Canada, and Rwanda with some of the largest solar developers in the world. Here’s the launch post we just published. https://jumpstartenergy.co/blogs/our-legacy

Take a look at our project page, and fund a clean energy project anywhere in the world! Join our mailing list to be the first to hear when we post a project somewhere new! Let us know if you have any feedback.

Lawyers do that because enforceable lawyer-client relationships can be created based just on a conversation, and whether there is one or not turns on whether the non-lawyer thought there was one. The creation of a lawyer-client relationship, in turn, has knock-on effects. A lawyer can be sued for malpractice based on that verbal advice, can be disqualified from taking a case adverse to the “client,” etc. Also, state bars are extremely humorless about unlicensed out-of-state practice. Just the appearance of giving legal advice in a state where you aren’t licensed can get you in trouble.
In general, this is true, but only if the side-project is absolutely for own, private reasons. As soon as there any economic activity, the GDPR applies, which is a very low bar that even some personal side-projects cross.

Not all change is improvement, and the changes proposed by the (current) minority party are not to "improve the law", but to take more from those who work and give it to those who do not. I challenge you to find that particular sentiment anywhere in our founding documents -- if you think it ought to be there, there's a political process to put it there.

And the generic sentiment about how horrid it is to "cut taxes on the rich" ignores the fact that taxes almost exclusively impact "the rich" as about 40% of the population pays essentially zero taxes. It's very difficult to cut taxes on those who do not pay them.

Was your marketing message relevant?
What did the people you where marketing too think of it?
Did you test it was working?
Did you market in multiple channels?
Did you sell the benefits of your product or its features?
Did you ask your customers what they thought?

You have said very little about how you tried to fix the problem, did you even try?

That's a very modern perspective, not necessarily consistent with Christian theology at all. The notion that people in the ancient world or simply older people today enjoy church music out of preference seems to ignore the fact that street music and folk music were NEVER comparable to church music. The idea behind unique liturgical music was that the structure of the music itself revealed something about the nature of creation that was worth LEARNING to like, even though it was alien. The notion that people can and should just gravitate to whatever suits their personal tastes implies that their tastes do not need redemption.
