I've read this before and I get what you are saying. From a business point of view it makes a lot of sense. I'm saying from every other point of view, it doesn't.

> I'm sure you'll agree that having a standardised platform that runs on any machine, while being unlimited in the variety and nature of things it can conjure is the utopia we are all working towards.

Are you talking about Java + Swing? :)

I like that macOS feels different from Windows and that I can load up a Linux with many more variations that all have their own personality. I don't like how web apps use my bandwidth (I pay $10 / GB on Google Fi), how they use my battery, or my CPU.
> The word 'app' to me strongly implies that whatever the service does can only be meaningfully accessed via an app on Android or IOS

I don't think this opinion is generally held. App just means application, which can describe any software.
this is the dumbest thing i've read this year.

changing a stable API breaks it. there's no grey area.
Interesting point. Not sure the socialism itself is enough to expalain it, but the french way of applying socialism surely plays a role.
> So I can't tell why I would want it instead of another distro that disables "non free" by default, like Debian.

Just pointing out that Debian does not meet FSF criteria for excluding non-free strongly enough. Instead they endorse gNewSense, which is pretty much deblobbed Debian.
> All things being equal, as a user I'll chose a native app every time.

The reality is that most potential users don't install native apps, and will use a PWA without knowing it. Its just a URL.

Numbers are still as high as 20% don't install due to lack of space. Thats a ridiculously dumb bounce rate.

"Solutions" were presented already 3-4 years ago, for android. Native apps that don't install! And hey look, nobody cares!

from the article:

I also learned that “impossible,” when used by Feynman, did not necessarily mean “unachievable” or “ridiculous.” Sometimes it meant, “Wow! Here is something amazing that contradicts what we would normally expect to be true. This is worth understanding!"

This is a serious topic, and it turns out that the relationship of insured-insurer is just really complicated.

Moral hazard and adverse selection are real issues insurance faces: that being covered makes the insured more reckless, and that people with higher risk self-select to sign up for insurance.

OTOH, insurance companies make more money the less claims they pay.
If something is cultural, why does that imply it is automatically bad or should be tossed aside? This is not to say any culture is all good or all perfect, however didn't much of culture come about through generation after generation evolving and learning and passing on what worked? I invoke Chesterton's fence here: Fences take work to put up, and someone put in that work. First understand why it was put in place and only then should you consider tearing it down.

Cultures each have differing strengths and weaknesses, woven into a complex fabric, and it is difficult to change just one part in isolation without butterfly effects elsewhere -- much like a large codebase.
And yet, this article is also just profiting from moral outrage, as exemplified by the near-universal blanket disparagement of journalism and “the media” in this thread.
> Not prudish here, just also very conscious [that sex] should be between life-long committed people

That is prudish. To be perfectly clear, it’s entirely fine to decide that this is the right thing for yourself. But the way your comment is written makes it clear that you think this is the only correct way, for everyone. Yeah, that’s extremely prudish.

There's big difference between using women's bodies to sell products (film franchise included) and permitting the open expression of nude bodies.

I resent the former, and respect the latter.
The video linked in another comment is terrific. (https://www.rsaconference.com/videos/inside-cloudbleed)

Particularly the value of getting recurring core dumps to zero, such that they stand out enough to find and fix. Reducing log/stats noise has been a traditional go-to for me.

Moving sshd to a non-default port, for example, initially sounds like useless security through obscurity. But, it then makes unusual ssh access stand out and get noted.
In fairness, I'm not sure the FSF cares about anything but whether the system uses proprietary software or not.

To your question - at a skim, it looks like it's "Arch but more stable and without proprietary software"; I suspect that most of their target audience already knows what that means for them (yes, this is less than ideal for getting new people involved). I'd be curious how that works; part of the appeal to Arch is the AUR, but lots of stuff in the AUR is proprietary, so I assume they must not use it? At which point Hyperbola is kinda interesting if you like the Arch tooling (which is nice), but it'll mostly boil down to your philosophical view of free/proprietary software anyways.

there's a really excellent podcast series i listened to a few months ago about the conquest of mexico a few months ago, beginning here:

http://historyonfirepodcast.com/episodes/2017/5/25/episode-2...

it's genuinely one of the most incredible stories in human history. if you, like me, only possess a cursory awareness of the events, i can't recommend listening through the whole thing enough.

and a supplementary podcast series about human sacrifice particularly by the aztecs (though quite meandering, in an enjoyable way):

Compare to e.g. conda, where you get binary packages and no option to build from source at all. This basically means you get support for x86 and very limited support for PPC. Need ARM? Nope, no can do. Or any other slightly exotic architecture.

It also means, though this is only a problem with third party channels, that it's possible to get into a situation where you can't even build from source at all. I was working with one of our custom packages, where for the life of me I could not figure out how to get the build to work. Turns out it had been hardcoded to run on a very specific machine, and assumed access to a very specific network file system, and I wasted about a week of my life trying to untangle those assumptions before giving up. If that software had been designed from the beginning with the idea that it ought to be possible to build from source from anywhere, we'd presumably be in a different situation now.
I edited the message and put the XXXX in place to not expose that info, but someone here already got it, yes it's summitto.com and I was looking for the link here on HN and it seems that it was removed, probably after this post.
I love Homebrew, especially since I (recently) realized I could use brew cask to install all my desktop applications. I liked the analytics feature in this release. Just the other day, I was looking at alternatives to official Chromium builds that would auto-update. I stumbled upon freesmug-chromium but didn't know how actively it is used by the community. Now I know.
> Feynman thought a moment and, much to our surprise, replied “Yes!” So every week for the next two years, my roommate and I joined dozens of other lucky students for a riveting and unforgettable afternoon with Dick* Feynman.

What’s the difference between cultural discrimination and constructive criticism? Can you complain that the Saudis don’t (didn’t) let women drive or is that cultural discrimination? Anti-FGM campaigns?

I’m being intentionally obtuse but there has to be a line somewhere. Or not and people should be free to argue without fear of the label “cultural discrimination”.

FWIW I have no idea what the answer is.

There is, at least in the Catholic tradition, explanations for pretty much every teaching. From the doctors of the church (the most famous being Augustine), papal encyclicals, and ecumenicla councils. It is all very philosophically and scientifically grounded. You might disagree with the reasoning or a base assumption (natural law) but there are explanations. Normally it has to do with how your action effects yourself and others. In this case objectifying someone causes you to perhaps treat them poorly and prevents you from seeing the inherent dignity in them as a person.

I’m not making a comment on this vs. violence because I think that’s a much more cultural thing in America and I haven’t looked into the Church’s stance on portrayal of violence, if it has one.

Well, a contractor is a very different thing. They don't have the same rights and we can't offer them the same benefits as we do to our employees. We don't want to have second class citizens on our team.

That said, we already do work with some contractors outside of US. But the above applies and we are trying to find a way to incorporate in their countries so we can equalize the compensations (salary, health benefits, stock options, ...).

Would we not care about our people, this would be a no brainer.
Came here to say this. The "strength" of user specified variables depends on where they come from: the environment is weaker than those specified as command line arguments - which can lead to confusion.
IANAL. In EU it is too much information upfront which puts this possibly legit company in a dark area of GDPR and equality laws. Phone number and eligibility to work in EU is fine. The company may eventually ask remaining once you accept an offer. Still scanning a passport is a fishy practice if they can verify it when you visit them on site.

It's funny to see Californians complain about folks moving to California and driving up housing costs. I grew up in Bend, Oregon where housing was driven up by tons of Californians moving there. Bay area folks only have themselves to blame for their "I got mine" attitude and not allowing anyone to build more housing. I fly every week to Santa Clara because there is no way I am moving there -- my home here in WA is almost paid off.

"The thing about better cameras is that they just give you more options, features, flexibility etc"

Yes I agree, that's not really highlighted in an advert though.

If a camera has one feature, you use that one feature. You cant tell from a film that's used that one feature whether the camera was expensive or cheap. Especially when the point of the film was to show off the camera, and that one feature.
It’s not about going serverless, it’s about how to automate the management of servers. When my manager first came, the one ops guy we had was manually going through a list of EC2 instances and patching them. That’s an old mindset.

We have a third party web application that was on one server and when it went down, they would get an alert and reboot it. That was an easy win - put it behind a load balancer and an autoscale group with a minimum and maximum of 2 and http health checks so it would just kill the instance and bring a new one up.

This same guy saw a lot of EC2 instances that he didn’t recognize come up in the middle of the night and wanted them to follow our naming conventions APP0x and wanted to know the IP addresses. It took me forever to get him to understand that they were ephemeral, were part of an autoscaling group based on a queue, and that he couldn’t put whatever old school alerting system on them and they were all tagged with the corresponding autoscaling group and environment. The best I could tell him was the subnet that they would be launched in and the corresponding CIDR block.
Serverless is usually used to describe things like AWS Lambda, or Azure functions. You write your code, and push it to the cloud, and don't really think about the infrastructure. It is "serverless" in that you don't need to think about individual servers. You just deploy your code, and only pay for the time it actually spends executing.

I've also seen serverless used to describe services like Google App Engine and the Azure App Service. They're a bit less granular than cloud functions, since you deploy entire applications instead of individual functions. Again, you don't really have to think about servers or infrastructure. You deploy your code, and it just runs and scales up as necessary.

Docker and k8s and containers are great in general, but require a lot more hands-on active management than the services I usually see described as serverless. Though even here, services like AWS Fargate and Azure Kubernetes Service and (I think) Google Container Engine take a lot of the manual work out of container orchestration.

I don't think simplístic means what you think it does.

Go isn't simplistic. It might be seen as simple but it isn't so simple that it loses utility. There's plenty of nuance and elegance in there to solve real problems.

9-10 years is about right. 2005, I had a one bedroom for $1700, and in 2008 I moved into a studio on Twin Peaks for $1300/month. Both were high but still affordable. By 2011, a 2 bedroom in SOMA was $3000/month, and by 2014 it was $4500/month.

This coincides with when tech companies started popping up in SF, instead of South Bay where they traditionally went to.
This is crucial. The current way of governing the world depends on the pie of prosperity getting bigger and bigger each year, which allows the government to cut more and more pieces out of it. Without growth every policy that requires more spending must be countered by a policy that requires less spending.

Then there's the problem of governments debt, which historically has been reduced much more by growth than by imposing austerity.
Good theory. That totally could be an issue. Maybe sex work is like ivory, and not like, I dunno, all the other jobs human beings do! Or maybe not.

Luckily, we can check NZ, since they legalised sex work, and research has since been done to see what the answer was: http://www.gaatw.org/publications/SWorganising/NewZealand-we...

And actually, none of that is true! Actually it turns out that what really enables trafficking and the abuse of sex workers is situations where they can't go to the police, or where brothels have to hide their existence from the authorities entirely. Once you're legal and regulated, it's really easy for the immigration officials to show up and start checking paperwork.

> you'll still fail to have only the entirely above-board, willing sex work that the sex workers themselves would like.

Funny you should say that; again in the linked report it was noted that NZ does have an issue with that, but not from trafficked women, but rather from migrants. Due to anti-trafficking sentiment, the original law legalising prostitution banned people on temporary visas from working in the industry, which means people on temporary visas are the only sex workers in the country who can find themselves subjected to abusive work conditions while being unable to report it to the authorities.

It makes sense, of course; everywhere you ban sex work you create a shadow that victimisation can take place in.

No, there are no such obligations at all. Every lawyer who has looked at this reached the same conclusion.

Inequality, and not from a World level where all analyst and many others likes to put in the 3 Billion people lifted from poverty in China , India and SEA.

Individually Inequality are at their highest point in recent history across many nations. You say many of them are from an ivory tower, while others would argue you view the world from an ivory tower as well. Their lives are not better, not even back to pre 2008 level, while many would say the "world as a whole" are better off, do those people at the bottom or disappearing Middle Class actually cares if you lift poverty from the rest of the world? Well actually they do if you ask them, just not at the expense of their quality of life.

And the current economy barely holds itself together with low interest rate. But what happen when something breaks again? You are right they really don't know shit, because when it breaks they know they have limited tools to combat whatever that is left over.

"There is an apocalyptic amount of people moving into California,"

Really? New york is crowded. Chicago is crowded. The bay area is just spread out. It just feels crowded because California won't build upwards, which is a result of its backward housing laws, codes, and tax systems.
I think major portions of the story have been left out for the purpose of invoking outrage. There is no way that a house can get waterlogged and the tenants can’t sue the landlords to fix this. This is basic privilege of renting.
