BITCOINS INVESTMENT/MINING
Bitcoin and bitcoin Cash Mining

Bitcoin and bch miners help keep the coin network secure by approving transactions. Mining is an important and integral part of coin that ensures fairness while keeping the coin network stable, safe and secure.

All thanks to Dennis Rodney who made me confident enough to give answers and reviews to questions of cryptocurrency.. He also runs a bitcoin mining bots for all his clients including me through bitautoinvest.com , he created a bot miner for me on the block chain wallet which accrued about $300-$500 daily for me on the first month, and then more add on the following month.. You can only imagine how much i make now.. He is for real and he carries one along all through..contact him via Skype live ; Dennis Rodney or email dennisrodney@tutanota.com
Funny how this isn’t seen to be an issue when big money cable news reporters cover tax breaks that affect them personally.
Maybe I am wrong, but as far as I remember IXsystems is pushing TrueOS and some other appliances like FreeNas.

My point was simply aiming to underline that there is no analogue of RHEL or Centos in the BSD world. If you decide to endorse BSD you know you are on your own and you have to contribute to the project. The BSD license seems a bit more appealing to this huge giants than the GNU one. Fixing bugs and contributing to the code base is the reason why I love the project.

For purely educational reasons you can learn more in 5 minutes using BSD, than in 10 years with Ubuntu (what is it that one learns with Ubuntu actually?).

The handbook is just awesome. If people complain about it, it is just because they never looked at how documentation is written in the average in computer science (is software documented at all?).
As a European I agree and I also think European countries as a whole are hugely inefficient on how they use tax money. We should pay taxes and we should demand ever increasing efficiency with equal great enthusiasm.
the link to the tool is giokr.com. By the way, the tool is interesting if you know what means OKR and you want to improve execution with this methodology (quite popular in successful tech company in the Silicon Valley). It's worth reading John Doerr, Andy Grove or Ben Horowitz on the OKR.
Sue the government in the US, compare your results to a similar suit in China.
I concur. In other words try to be on the "edge" where you're not looking at the same old patterns you've seen before, but are always attacking something relatively unknown. In my experience, senior people who always target their domain and level of expertise are bitter and jaded.
What the Correspondent will add to the American press
It's almost 2019. Are we still fighting over this? OTOH, purely from my experience, MS's tools are good for managing a domain, or some computers.

When you start to administer hundreds or thousands of servers, scriptability of CLI tools and pliability of text files trumps all computer automation.

xCAT and Salt are two tools (that I use regularly) which are built on these properties and can manage thousands of servers with a "flick of a finger".

We've asked you before to stop posting flamebait to HN. If you keep doing it we are going to have to ban you.

OVH is horrendous for their dedicated offering, especially when trying to cancel.

Their webapp wouldn't work, they wanted me to do an API call to cancel, as they couldn't fix their UI.

You might be very interested in the following talk, where a Marriott tech lead describes how as recently as 2013 (and it's ambiguous, but it's likely still the case), much of the Marriott pricing engine was running on a single "green screen" (his words) IBM mainframe. He speaks about how only in ~2014 with a management shakeup did culture begin to shift towards acceptance of open source components. But, as we all know, these types of organizations don't turn on a dime, and sadly this breach is likely to make them more conservative (and increase reliance on those old-school systems) rather than less. I'm not surprised at all about your experience.

Disclosure: I'm working on a project (currently stealth) in the alternative accommodations (vacation rentals) space. Lots of people all over trying to reinvent these types of booking engines, and it's a tough challenge to get right. I don't blame them for not wanting to deal with distributed systems on top of those challenges. But IMO that's part and parcel of a modern approach to the problem.

Yup I'm deep into the reducing government waste camp but of ALL the things to focus on that hurt business they focus on the one thing that's a compromise for something better, not just straight up wasteful interference in markets. There are a hundred better things to spend time on.

There is an endless legacy of old agency mandates and legislation that started with good intentions to 'help the little guy' or whatnot that are a completely net negative for everyone (except a few politically connected companies).

The EPA is not even a 'soft target', there are plenty of low hanging fruit. It's just a very public and obvious economic intervention, so it gets plenty of attention. Meanwhile the million other things the government has their hands in goes unnoticed.

Politics is cancerous.
They have a name for that: public-private partnerships (PPP).
Just for some context, the author wrote an autobiography called Barbarian Days: A Surfing Life that won a pulitzer prize and is a bible for a lot of surfers. Probably just about every (American) surfer with a college degree has read that book.

I think those drives dying quickly is actually a Good Thing™, because chances you're backing up corrupt data might become smaller…

With the older drives you sometimes would have a drive die, replace it, restore your backup only to find that in the process of dying the drive was actually corrupting some of the data which went into the backups, now you've got to hunt down the last uncorrupted versions of the data in the backup…

> What's so wrong with any of this?

A very basic principle of security is the principle of least authority. To implement that, you don't use one key for many different purposes over a long period of time and give it to anyone who needs it. You use different keys for different purposes, and replace the keys periodically to help ensure that they're only available to a limited group.

Another way to answer your question is "because that's how all these breaches happen."
Oh man, the memories! I saw the title of this thread and thought "no ways its the same compiz".

Like people with a loaded gun, sailors and officiers of warships think they are invincible and anybody else has to avoid them and not vice versa. I guess the bleak reality after such incidents would give them a cold shower to wake up, but probably too late. All modern warships were designed as if they operate on open ocean only when in reality most of the time they must navigate in world where commercial shipping has grown more strongly than ever before. The most effective weapon for modern skirmishes seems to me simple but heavy built ships designed for ramming :D

6 Upward Mobile App Development Trends Spell Opportunities and Billions in 2019
Honestly, after seeing this article upvoted so high and then reading it, I was relieved to see these comments. At it's root, security for always-on networked systems is extremely difficult, even at tech-first companies with an ingrained "security culture", nevermind a hospitality company like Starwood where "IT" is another department. And this guy comes forth with clueless statement after clueless statement about "The system was already operating securely for five years" and the one about the primary encryption keys. This whole article is incredibly self serving.
Thank you so much, this is excellent!

If there's any delusion about Meng's arrest NOT being a political stunt that the US is pulling, set such thoughts aside. How many banking executives were arrested after the 2007/2008 financial collapse? If you picked 0, you not only picked right, but also saw the Justice system not pulling stunts.

Huawei - like the banks, is a company that has allegedly violated sanctions against Iran. A just response would be to go after Huawei, the company - which in a way has already happened with multiple bans within the US and from allies.

Despite China having a much worse and unjust Justice system, I believe their response is appropriate, but tragic - in that individuals are now being horse traded by Nations. But the US did start it! And if you naively think the US/Canada are merely enforcing the law without bias, then you have to explain why high ranking officials of US companies never get arrested by the Justice department for crimes committed by the companies

at my school EE had a full semiconductor fab, nuclear engineering had a nuclear reactor, CS had a full networked computer system with 512x512 UI that predated the internet, super computers, astronomy had an observatory etc.

Currently I think they have an offsite particle accelerator in physics, but Im sure they had sensitive measuring equipment of all kinds when I was there.
Great comment. Sometimes I find conversations/debates between programmers get lost in irrencoilable levels of abstraction that are driven by status. E.g., the new data scientist looking to make a mark is desperately calling for "streamlined dataflows throughout the system" while an experienced builder is wondering wtf this means in terms of actual code written, and can't get the other person to spit out anything concrete -- because they have nothing concrete to spit out, but they de facto insist that what they're saying is sensical and valuable.
I think it's actually pretty easy to imagine a scenario where private encryption keys were stolen.
Same here. I gave Firefox a fresh chance at v57 (Quantam), but I'm back to Chrome. It was fine honestly, no problems with performance or with what I could do. But Right after install, I spent several minutes in just fixing some very basic UI irritations. It had some extra-spacing on sides of the address bar, a 'heavy' looking menu bar, etc. (most users don't want to do that, and rightly so).

I don't mind the different styled settings or menu items at all. The balance (or lack thereof) between font-sizes/font-weights, line weights, the darker gray lines etc. is what perturbs me. Maybe they should look at making the UI look a little 'lighter', like Safari and Chrome.
Upvotes don't necessarily mean quality or correctness. Sometimes they just need newsworthy, or interesting.
Would an Australian employee of 1Password be forced to lie to us and do something that we would definitely object to?

We do not, at this point, know whether it will be necessary or useful to place extra monitoring on people working for 1Password who may be subject to Australian laws.

So not only does this idiotic law destroy the Australian software industry, it could prevent Australians from being hired outside Australia. Someone or some group in the Liberal/National Party (the current government here in Australia) really, really, really hates developers.

Edit. Time for some Aussie geek civil disobedience I think.

Edit 2. We have a huge number of Aussie developers here on HN. Let's use this to organise some sort of protest. Either that or we will all be off to Centrelink.
> There are lots of companies that are in it to do good or actually improve society.

I don't disagree. They rarely get media attention though, and I don't mention them here, because their disruption is a quite different thing from Uber/AirBnB disruption.

For that "lame analysis" part, I'll give you a task: given that you wrote there are lots of such companies, name three. ;).

> I'd even argue that society is net better off with Lyft (not sure about Uber) even though working there as an employee isn't great. Taxis were awful.

Taxis were awful in many places, not everywhere. I'm usually taking people's word for it when they describe how Uber service is better than taxi (though I'm increasingly noticing stories about Uber quality declining). But there are cities, including my home town and the current town I live in, where taxis are almost universally good. And yet, Uber came and attacked taxis everywhere, whether good or bad. You can do things like that when you can freely break the law[0] and get away with it[1], and when you can lose money for longer than all your competitors can stay solvent.

Honestly, Uber story looks pretty much like a typical story of a corporation entering international market and displacing all little local players, except with more disregard for law, and some weird belief people still have that Uber is a startup.

Still, I'll grant Uber that some of the disruption came out for the better, because it allowed more ethical and legal competitors to emerge in this space. And yet:

> working there as an employee isn't great

Here's a thing: do we consider pushing more and more people into wage slavery to be "improving society"?

--

[0] - Not just general "taxi regulations", but also traffic safety (a common story to hear was Uber without valid insurance) and tax laws (in my country, I remember our equivalent of IRS being the most active in hunting down Uber drivers).

[1] - Half of the blame here goes to the municipal governments, who should've punished Uber immediately for breaking local laws. AFAIR only Germany behaved correctly, and started issuing service bans quickly.
Just looked. It does kind of come across as an elaborate parody...

Ha - nice Moby Dick reference! I would add Jack London's The Sea Wolf to that -- both for the collision aspect early in the book then life aboard the ship. Hell - add Dan Simmon's "The Terror" to that list too :)
The assembler still has to put a special SKU 5k resistor (with our BMC modifying framework burnt in to it) on the modified PCB without anyone noticing though. I don't follow your conclusion that only the PCBs would have to be swapped.
In 2018, with trillions in public and not-for-profit money, and modern info-tech... If a poor kid in India, or anywhere, with an internet wanted to study for a world-class education, is there any legitimately ethical reason everyone should not be able to do this freely, and also be able to earn credentials through exams? Perhaps examinations should carry a modest fee, but why isn't more going into not just open courseware, but open degree programs?

Shouldn't the presitigious universities be finding ways to educate, train and credential as many people as possible, rather than maintaining barriers to entry to their educational materials? Or do we need to perpetuate prestige and social strata through these institutions' selective commitees?
I can imagine go-banning a country from GitHub repos. This is true insanity on Australia's part.

Don't they know any backdoor will undoubtedly be found and spread? People find vine abilities in software designed to be secure. When there is an intentional backdoor, it will be abused even quicker.

Key chatter means you press the key once and it outputs several presses. In my case it didn't happen consistently, so was incredibly annoying.

I'd estimate ~3 weeks of very regular practice to get up to my previous typing speeds on the TECK or Ergodox. However before that I'd also learned to use the Kinesis Advantage, Freestyle, and even the FingerWorks TouchStream (http://www.ergocanada.com/products/keyboards/fingerworks_lp....)

While there is certainly a point about electron apps wasting resources, an electron app would be a lot more maintainable and the GUI could be improved a lot.

For example it's impossible to know which errors are actually a problem, and if synchronization was successful or aborted. Some of the progress information is in a tooltip which changes a couple of times per second.
iOS still exports in jpeg unless it knows for sure the receiver (another Mac or iOS device with the right version) supports heic, or you change a setting to force it to always export heic. So users should rarely run into the compatibility issue.

I guess I'm moving back to the UK. No wait, can't do that either. Perhaps I'll live in the US for a while, I haven't lived there yet.

Or just become the digital nomad and move off to Budapest like many of my past colleagues and friends.

I don't have the emotional depth at this point to articulate a well thought out perspective on what impact these laws will have one me, our industry or my own personal safety in Australia.

But I can say for sure, that the entire thing is completely fucked.
I feel like this provides almost no assurance.

Surely 1Password can't actually make that promise in good faith. They're the perfect target for the kind of intervention that the AU gov wants to carry out.

I was up and running with the Ergodox EZ Glow within a day, I did fiddle around with the key layout for awhile but it's settled into place for me pretty quickly.

It's dramatically more comfortable and I would never go back to a stock tenkeyless. I held out for an Infinity for a long time, then EZ added addressable LEDs and the difference between it and the Infinity now consists of things I don't plan to use.

This law is a disaster for Australia's software industry (sorry Atlassian) but as an Australian living and working outside Australia I can't see that I would be subject to it.

Australia is notoriously punitive to Aussies overseas (quite different from, say, India) so it would hardly make sense for such a stupid law to apply to us -- unless the US demanded it I suppose (this whole law is clearly a 5 eyes effort).
Speaking about sailors and invincibility - there's a funny story that's circulated around (false according to snopes [1]) about a particular US and Canadian Navy interaction :) :)

Text snipped from snopes article:

Americans: “Please divert your course 15 degrees to the North to avoid a collision.”

Canadians: “Recommend you divert YOUR course 15 degrees to the South to avoid a collision.”

Americans: “This is the captain of a US Navy ship. I say again, divert YOUR course.”

Canadians: “No, I say again, you divert YOUR course.”

Americans: “THIS IS THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER USS ABRAHAM LINCOLN, THE SECOND LARGEST SHIP IN THE UNITED STATES’ ATLANTIC FLEET. WE ARE ACCOMPANIED BY THREE DESTROYERS, THREE CRUISERS AND NUMEROUS SUPPORT VESSELS. I DEMAND THAT YOU CHANGE YOUR COURSE 15 DEGREES NORTH. THAT’S ONE-FIVE DEGREES NORTH, OR COUNTER MEASURES WILL BE UNDERTAKEN TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THIS SHIP.”

Canadians: “This is a lighthouse. Your call.”

Seriously our current government is a thick as two planks of wood, but this law is so stupid that it must be deliberate. Maybe whoever wrote this law ex-girlfriend left him for a software developer, because it seems almost perfectly designed to punish developers.
Would you say that these over-engineered solutions actually grasped the problems, and over-engineered the solutions? Or did they not grasp the original problems to begin with, and solved tangential problems instead? In my experience it's often the latter that leads to accrued accidental complexity and technical debt.
