> I'd rather Amazon land in Dallas that probably needs the jobs more.

Having lived there, disincentivizing jobs and thereby incentivizing emmigration is the best outcome for most people in the DFW area. What a hellhole. "I want to die in Dallas" said noone ever.
> Ambulances are very expensive and should be reserved for people who actually need them.

Lol what? It's the job of the state to provide adequate resources (for example, the law in Germany requires that emergency personnel be at your location in 10min tops, on average). Telling people to use an Uber/Lyft/cab due to cost concerns or not enough ambulances being available is bad. Demand proper emergency services funding from your politicians!

Obviously: when all you got is a small cut on your finger, fine, take public transport or whatever. But for a back injury?! No way in hell I'd risk my chance in public transport or taxi.
You're right that it's impossible at the micro-level, but things don't need to be taxed down to that level.

E.g. are we going to tax farmer John more than farmer Bob because John feels he needs to smoke cigarettes while farming (and thus makes some small extra contribution to CO^2 emissions), no. Measuring things at that level would be silly.

But it's easy enough to get sufficiently right for the purposes of discouraging externalities and encouraging innovation. Farms, power plants, cargo ships etc. are all major contributors to pollution, and the taxes they pay can be calculated as a function of regular inspections, which all those industries need to undergo anyway.
I am a big Tesla fan but if this is true and does not improve shortly, then screw this company.

I’ve dreamt of buying a Tesla but I could not ethically rationalize that to myself if this article is true.

It also shows the problem of measuring companies by specific metrics. It sounds like good old “juking the stats” (the wire).

It gives the impression that things actually end up worse because of how injuries are measured.
Yeah, that line hit me like a punch in the guts.

The Customer Is Not Always Right and Neither Are You
10% THD though. Ugh.
Um, you're aware that Chrome requires SCTs (the proof that a certificate has been logged) when connecting to a site right? Do you think "the vast majority" of CAs deliver a product that doesn't work with Chrome ?

CAs aren't mandated to log certificates for you (and indeed some offer the possibility to deliberately not do so for reasons I'll get to in a minute) but if you run a mass-market CA logging certs by default is the only possible way to remain in business since otherwise your entire customer service budget will be spent explaining to customers how to log the certificates and make them work with Chrome.

Firefox and Safari have announced plans to require SCTs but without a specific version or timestamp deadline. Apple's language says "calendar year 2018" but that's probably ambitious. It scarcely matters, Chrome is already too many users for a commercial CA to ignore.

So, why aren't all CAs logging every certificate and baking the SCTs into the final certificate? Well, when a certificate is logged that makes it public, but power users may want the ability to sidestep that. For private systems they may just have decided to never run Chrome (and good luck to them in the future when IE6 on Windows XP is the only option left that doesn't check CT). But for public systems if you're technically capable you can get yourself unlogged certificates, then at launch time log them, collect the SCTs and deliver those to the TLS client rather than baking them into the certificate. Google does this, a few branding practitioners do it. It's very important to get it exactly right because if you screw up your certificates are worthless until you fix it. But if protecting naming is important to your business it's an option.
The article doesn't focus much on the 4chan aspect of the story, but I think it's interesting to realize that your only real currency on anonymous message boards is the quality and content of your post at that moment in time. In the real world, or anywhere online where you have a reputation, that reputation can give you credibility when credibility is not deserved. It also attaches an ego dynamic to everything you say, and every time you're called out. With anonymity, that's all gone. If your ideas stand, it has nothing to do with your reputation. And if you're shown to be wrong, it's much easier to change your position and adjust your worldview.
Glad to hear you are aware of Flockport. Flockport was initially conceived as an app store for LXC containers. This was still in the early days of containers when the awareness was just building.

We always wanted to do more and our early vision was for a container management platform that is more accessible and easier to use and now of course we have built out a whole platform that delivers a lot more functionality and capabilities, and hopefully delivers on some of that early vision.
This is such a glib response.

- The G train can be elongated and run more often. Signal work can allow it to run more frequently with the F.

- The East Side LIRR extension can be expedited.

- The circumferential freight line can be restored to create a new transit line between Brooklyn, Queens, and the Bronx.

- The L train restoration can be expedited.

All these project are cheap and would increase the livibility of NYC outside of Manhattan, while also shortening commute time to LIC.

Agreed. Thank you for adding this, to paint a fuller picture.

Space industry definitely isn't emissions-free, but right now it doesn't even register. We might have a problem in the future, but there's hope in switching to cleaner fuels planetside and eventually sourcing fuel for space operations from space. As it is today, in my opinion space industry has very good value proposition in terms of utility/carbon emitted.
Shameless but relevant plug.

I co-founded a startup with Mark Plaskow earlier this year to help make hematological analysis including detection of parasites more accurate and affordable. Mark has been doing image based detection of parasites for years and is published here: https://malariajournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/14...

There are various issues with capturing images of this quality level in the field. It’s something we have made a lot of progress on.

We hope our devices can have an outsized impact in these regions.

How Web Has Evolved: Progressive Web Apps(PWA) vs. Native Apps
Actually it's 100% the opposite.

Look at your iron-carbon phase diagram: https://www.tf.uni-kiel.de/matwis/amat/iss/kap_9/illustr/fe_...

Cast iron contains a high concentration of carbon, which makes it brittle. To make steel you need a heavy oxidizer to extract the (reduced) carbon. This is usually done using a "basic oxygen furnace", which is basically injecting a high pressure, very high velocity stream of oxygen into the metal to game thermodynamics into combusting the carbon without combusting the iron.

>"However, this will be an objectively good thing for NYC as a center of commerce, and help establish it as a tech hub at a time its local job market isn't doing all too well."

NYC is already a tech hub and has been for the last decade at least - Google, FB, Spotify, MongoDB, Pinterest, Bloomberg, Etsy, Salesforce, Seamless, Twitter, MLBAM, Square etc are all in NYC.

NYC's economy isn't doing too well? It grew by 2.7% for the second consecutive quarter in 2018[1]. It's expanding, how is that "not doing too well" exactly?

The steel industry isn't really as "conservative" as is being portrayed here. In the past 30 years, the amount of recycled metal being used has skyrocketed, and entire companies have come to power because of it. Sure, big old U.S. Steel is behind the times, but that's true for any industry.

I reported it and it turns out that the integer overflow generated the memory consumption issue. After modifying the code it's speed is par with Go.
> Push notifications — All platforms now support Push Notifications via Standard or proprietary API except iOS. iOS has all the pieces in place but Apple has taken a stance that due to battery life issues they won’t support it. On Mac, Apple has a proprietary implementation with a similar flow as the standard API.

For me this is still the biggest problem with iOS. They need to implement a way of getting push notifications to the device, from a web app.

One thing I think about is how boring and unambitious our institutions are. Apple has a quarter trillion in cash just sitting around. They could develop fusion or build some space stations. Bezos has 150B. We are spending a trillion on some shitty planes.

The big money holders only think about incrementing some integers in their bank account. Yeah, yeah, I know why. It's just so... lame. Build a moon colony! Cure cancer! Create free energy! Make experimental cities! Push the limits of human civilization! No, let's instead dump the fruits of society into optimizing ads and making our phones 20 microns thinner and bombing some poor people.

This post refers to the Commons Clause and SSPL as patching "loopholes". Here's the reality:

- The Commons Clause bans large categories of uses, including providing "consulting/support services", or selling any "product or service whose value derives, entirely or substantially, from the functionality of the Software".

- The SSPL requires users who want to "offer[] a service that accomplishes for users the primary purpose of the Software or modified version" to license all relevant "monitoring software, backup software, storage software and hosting software" under the terms of the SSPL – which is likely impossible if that software is, say, licensed under the GPL.

The Commons Clause is not meant to prohibit the listed activities entirely, but require people who want to do them to get a commercial license from the original developer. However, this fundamentally leaves the ability to fork the software at the mercy of that developer. If the developer refused to provide commercial licenses for the forked version, or just disappeared, the community could theoretically maintain the fork under the Commons Clause-adorned license, but they'd be stuck with software that nobody could provide "consulting/support services" for.

You can argue that the definition of "open source" ought to be broader than what the OSI or FSF would permit; maybe "freedom zero" isn't essential, maybe broader-reaching copyleft rules are acceptable. Maybe. But the ability to fork is fundamental. "Open source" you can't fork doesn't even remotely deserve to be called that. That's not innovation in license terms; that's just taking proprietary software and calling it something else.

As for the SSPL... I'm not sure whether the impractical/impossible redistribution requirements are meant to effectively achieve the same outcome as the Commons Clause – forcing users to get a commercial license – or if it was just poorly drafted. At best, it seems like the idea that people might actually take advantage of the license as written, and make derived works without paying in return for open sourcing the whole thing, as more of an afterthought compared to the commercial license route. Perhaps MongoDB will come up with an updated version of the license that addresses some of the concerns, but that remains to be seen. The broadness and vagueness of "monitoring software, backup software, storage software and hosting software" makes it a bit hard to see the license as a good faith offer, but I could be wrong.
>This sentiment has very little actual substance to it. I'm dissatisfied because I want to do something meaningful. I want to leave behind tools that will better my species.

That's something 1 in 10000 or even less do. Why it would be you (or me for that matter)?

>What exactly are you saying? Rip off the band-aid of ambition and stop trying?

If you're not getting results, and spend year after year on "self improvement" skills to get to be Musk or whatever, why not? Enjoy life, nobody signed any contract with the universe that they'll be the "inventor" and "great artist" and so on.

What are you saying, the rest several billions that will not "leave behind tools that will better their species" are useless waste of potential, or just normal people living their lives, and it's the idea of this unlimited potential that is a dangerous and damaging americanism peddled by snake-oil self-help gurus?

(Heck, if the regular life of the species is meaningless in itself, then inventing tools to improve it, wont add meaning to it, just some conveniences).
Not the OP but all those things can't be good for you at all. The worst part is that it may happen 22 years later and just blame second hand smoke or something.
>Being in or out of shape is a lifestyle choice

Are you young? this is all very different when you are young. I know I didn't have any trouble staying fit when I was college aged. For most people, there comes a point in your late 20s or early 30s where being not fat suddenly requires a lot of effort. (I am only now applying that effort in an effective way, a bit more than a decade after I should have.)
Indeed. I will be called lazy here but I just use the default vi or vim install on a Linux / Unix box usually and live with it. It turns to my advantage when I am suddenly on a box without all the usual desk toys available. Just sit down and do work. No adjusting the curtains first.

Plus things like vim autoindent just don’t work very well on yaml etc and get me annoyed.

This came from an event in about 1998 where I was stuck on an airgapped sunos box for 3 months.
Ok, I'm impressed. Very cool.
I used to be an ordinal-method purist, but I realized that approval voting is still (much) better than FPTP mathematically, and is also a win in terms of usability and understandability versus most ordinal systems.

Usability of a ballot system is a big factor when it comes to voter engagement and turnout, so at this point, I would be very happy with approval-method ballots.

Commute time has a much greater influence on your day to day experience and happiness than things like restaurants and museums, or even salary. The median commute is 25 minutes. Going significantly above that is rarely if ever a reasonable trade.
I think that view is rather rose-tinted, because it assumes (A) a majority of the the anonymous audience are able to independently assess its quality (B) they'll do so accurately (C) it's so easy/fast that they'll actually do it.

For every "undiscovered genius whose treatise finally gets a fair shake", there are hundreds of cranks, trolls, or attention-seekers who -- freed of reputation -- can create a hundred mutated iterations of low-quality stuff until something takes off just due to random luck. Sockpuppets are another concern, since it's easier to fabricate a consensus approval.

None of this is especially new either -- BBSes and usenet and web-forums have been around for decades.
but I think he said he was opposed to VMs in the cloud. Lol.

I am opposed to VMs in the cloud because if all you need is VMs there are much cheaper alternatives. Every seasoned cloud guy knows this! Generally in a “big 3” cloud I would use a VM only if a managed service didn’t cater to my use cases, and there are alot of managed services now...

(I make an exception for workloads that can tolerate preemptible VMs obv, that can be very cost effective )

> 4. How to save the code to our own disks to run it? This is extremely important. Copy and paste is not an option for serious work.

This can be a serious problem, so just as an inspiration I would like to share what I have done once to solve the 'my browser can't access my disk problem':

I have a Nextcloud sync client running on all my devices and the Nextcloud offers a WebDAV API. So the easy solution was to just let the web app sync my files to my Nextcloud which in turn synced the files to my disk. Maybe something similar is possible with Dropbox or Google Drive.

Yes, such kind of a setup creates some friction (one-time setup + dependence on a 3rd party service), but it is better than copy and paste and doesn't depend on special browser features.
It's not gaming the system, range voting is robust to such an expression of voter preferences. However, there is something to be said for simplifying the system if that ends up being the way that most people vote.
This is the same argument that people make when they say "but I worked for Microsoft, and I never heard about any NSA backdoors!".
Ask HN: How to move from development to security compliance?
I'm a Java dev 10+ yrs. I would like to move into a position where I can consult companies about security compliance. How do I make this move? The problem is without prior experience it seems all doors are closed. Finding a development job and then hoping an opportunity comes up to get compliance exposure seems not very promising.

Anyone made that shift?

Any pointers appreciated, thanks
Hey, good work I think to have everything in one place is better. I saw it’s not your first startup you built another app before (citysocializer).
