It seems inevitable that nearly everyone's DNA will eventually be disclosed or available to sufficiently interested parties. You literally leave a trail of DNA behind you, the cost of collecting it has steadily fallen, and you can't change your DNA so a single security breech in your entire life is irrevocable.
Hmm, so opposing view points should be silenced because you don't agree with them? I don't even agree with the one I posted but you felt you had to silence me for mentioning it exists.

I don't even mind that your NYT article doesn't seem to be about the NDAA signing that moved $160 [0], not $120 million to fight disinformation. Are you sure you that is the same topic?

This narrative fashions PG&E as victims when they are the criminals here. Please have a look at Judge Alsup's early comments here [1].

The regulatory framework was compromised by lobbying and the usual problems like ex PG&E execs in regulatory positions so there was no oversight. This is not a problem of government but corrupt compromised 'business friendly' governance enabled by the twin evils of regulatory capture and corruption which we have seen replicated in all industries.

The idea that without governance these companies would behave themselves is some kind of mythical fantasy completely disconnected from the real world and a long catalogued history of self serving greed driven behavior. No business is under obligation to behave unethically to make money.

Glitch in the Matrix II, the Origin of the Intellectual Dark Web [video]
Can we all just agree that because the ban on bulk sudafed purchases has nothing to do with drug safety, there's no public policy conclusion we can draw one way or the other from sudafed's counterindications? I can see this thread going back and force on blood pressure and stroke stuff and I think we probably all agree that if this was the only issue, pseudoephedrine would be back on the shelves.

If a family could reasonably anticipate being arrested or searched for consuming sudafed regularly for several weeks (bad allergies, sinus cold, whatever), I stipulate that's significant and problematic. What I'm contending is that in 2019, that's so unlikely to happen as to be implausible.
Upflow | Paris or Remote (CET -2 / +2) | Full-time | https://upflow.io

We're building the reference payment platform for B2B businesses in Europe.

Getting paid on time remains a significant problem for B2B businesses. We're on a mission to revolutionise how companies manage their outstanding payments. To do this, we're building a fully fledged payment platform from scratch - think Stripe but for traditional (non-tech) businesses.

It's an extremely complex and multi-faceted problem which affects almost 500,000 businesses across Europe.

We run on React / GraphQL / Node / Express / Postgres We're still really small (3 developers) and are looking for great hackers to work across the stack on problems ranging from payments, security, product and data.

Until Amazon, Microsoft, or Google move up the stack.

(Or maybe all three. They really are eating the industry, but they add value so, yeah, I guess they deserve their rent. Just sucks for anyone else in that space.)
> Are there equivalents for high/low-contrast? Red themes, blue themes, multicolour themes, etc.?

Not yet, although the API seems open enough to add this.
None of these have good support for serial port only devices. Fedora and Ubuntu take some tweaking to get them to pass real text to serial. Debian would probably work ok.

The biggest issue is they aren't designed for read-only partitions which is necessary for certain types of flash memory.
One of the wonderful things about a PWA is that it is so freeing (no app store gods to appease for approval etc etc). I'm a little afraid that putting PWAs in an app store may actually reduce the flexibility they offer by restricting what PWAs can and can't do. Then again, an app store may be a necessary to allow PWAs to diffuse into mainstream usage.

Personally, I am looking forward to the day PWAs are considered on par with native apps by the general populace. I think we're getting there in terms of functionality and flexibility - I run https://usebx.com/app which is a PWA, and my users are pretty happy with the functionality it delivers on all platforms. It also helped me launch with a smaller budget, since it's a single code base that runs on desktop, mobile or tablet.

The one thing I will add is that building a high-quality, performant PWA is significantly harder than building a native app - why? because you really need to understand the workings of modern browsers to squeeze native like performance, and unfortunately, in my experience, very few web developers have that depth of understanding. I have been building web apps for 20 years (I started young), but when I decided to build Bx as a PWA, I had to learn a lot to achieve the quality I desired.

SEEKING WORK - San Francisco, CA / Bay Area or Remote

Email: hey@workwithgosha.com

I’ve been doing a lot of mobile and front-end work past couple of years, but I know my way around back-ends, architecture, deployment as well.

You can see my some of past works & references here: http://goshakkk.name/works/

I keep a blog about React Native & React (http://goshakkk.name) and have self-published a book about forms in React (http://goshakkk.name/the-missing-forms-handbook-of-react/).

A bunch of buzzwords because apparently everyone needs them: React Native, React, Hooks, JavaScript, Flow, TypeScript, MobX, Redux, Ruby, Rails, PostgreSQL, Haskell, type systems.

Note: my handle has nothing to do with the kkk.
Another consideration is that FB would have to reorient their culture to sell to and service the enterprise customer. You could argue that Google is having that very problem with their cloud offering. Despite having superior engineering and product, it’s just not in their DNA to cater to the enterprise in the same way it is for Amazon and Microsoft. FB might have considered cloud a few years ago, but I think they wisely stayed out to focus on their core offerings.
Glad to see P.hD not a requirement. Are you willing to interview folks with "out of band" software experience, as in developing test automation software for electronics manufacturing?
so I receive an email (possibly more than once) from info@spamfromtheantipodes.com telling me someone confessed not to know the password associated to my email address because I don't have an account there? for the email-recipient the cure might feel worse than the disease

Both of you can be right. It's possible that Bezos saw the opportunity in taking advantage of their tech infra expertise and building that into a public product, but maybe it wasn't just taking what they already built and making it public.
It could tell you who a masked protester was based on the blood they left behind on a rubber bullet left on the scene, or who sent a mailed-in tip to a newspaper based on saliva on the envelope.

Just as DNA can help you find who did a criminal act, it can track down who did a political act.

10gig stuff is pretty dirt cheap these days. I wouldn't mess around with 1gig and draw any conclusions about anything.

125MB/sec with iPerf is the max throughput of a 1gig link. Then again, iPerf doesn't do anything with the data. Ceph does a lot with the data once it's pulled off the network (mainly replication or erasure coding to other OSD's).

Résumé/CV: https://arevej.me/cv.pdf

Email: tim@arevej.me

I'm very passionate and I'm super motivated Junior Frontend Developer. I enjoy a good challenge and professional growth. I can become a net-positive asset on your team fairly quickly if I'm given a chance to! I've been published by freeCodeCamp: https://medium.freecodecamp.org/how-to-understand-django-mod.... I've been learning to code for about a year. I blogged about some things (http://arevej.me/) and made quite a few projects (http://arevej.me/portfolio/ + http://github.com/arevej)
I bet Makefile has far more understandable and needs far much less lines than Python for its purpose.
Its declarative syntax and "rules" are just suitable for task runners.
I briefly tried to use Oracle Cloud for a small project. Its UI is close to the worst I have ever used: the whole product is inconsistent and confusing. Despite having multiple thousands of dollars free credit available, I quickly switched to GCP!
I've worked at companies, and know others who work at companies, where being an Engineering Managers means you're 90% developer and 10% manager. You're expected to do one on ones, assign work, but mostly code.
This isn't about ease of use! If Apple allowed sideloading software on the iPhone, nothing would change for 95+% of users, who would continue to get all their software from the App Store. Sideloaded software would be installed by only those users who were tech-literate enough to use such an option.

I brought up China because I legitimately see this issue as orthogonal to free speech. Here's another example: I'm not a fan of Alex Jones, and I'm glad he got banned from the App Store, but I'm less enthused that it's now impossible for Alex Jones to create an iOS app.

Imagine if we were talking about books instead of apps. If Barnes & Noble decided to ban books written by hate groups from their stores, I would be okay with that! I would not, however, be okay with Barns & Noble preventing hate groups from finding their own publishers and distributors. Software is the medium of our age, and so it needs to be possible for anyone to distribute.

This does not mean that sideloading software needs to be easy. Software is powerful, and users should be guided towards safe and well-vetted distributors. But if sideloading is impossible, you end up with the situation of VPN apps in China. If the alternative is that a handful of users who specifically ask to be tracked by Google and Facebook are in fact tracked by Google and Facebook, so be it.

I am assuming they did actual work alongside management responsibilities, which isn't really sustainable.
That's a thorny ethical question, but it's not really relevant to what the IDF has apparently been doing. The article says they like to grab random nearby civilians and force them to do things like remove suspected IEDs and, literally, stand in front of Israeli soldiers in a firefight in hopes that the enemy will hesitate (they often don't). It's not just a few psychos; the IDF as a whole is claiming in court that they have a right to use random bystanders as ablative armor. That's unequivocally evil.

Encouraging small businesses to trade internationally should be a focus of trade deals.
Here's a link to the research paper itself: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-018-37359-z.pdf
>80% of CDN exports go to the US and so a deal with the EU won't be creating that much value

Yeah, but what about after the deal? It makes sense that pre-free trade, there wouldn't be as much business.
Using systems theory, i think margin is a buffer for profitability that (to your point) allows for shock absorbing (as all buffers do.) Higher margins are also a risk of losing market share to a price-competitor, and you can suggest that market share is also a buffer for consumer engagement -- the ability of a firm to successfully raise prices (in the short term) is proportional to its market share.

Does the buffer of market share outweigh the buffer of margin?

Interestingly, the "what companies are valued on" is an increasingly surprising thing when you think about how real estate development works. Properties are valued on a multiple of their Net Operating Income, which creates a scenario where capital improvements that have low ROI in terms of NOI are actually high ROI when you include the effect on equity (future sale price.) In the current environment of 4% cap rates (NOI / Sale price) each additional dollar of income increases the value of the property by $26 (one dollar for the income and 25 dollars for the sale price bump.) This is why every landlord is very incentivized to borrow as much as possible to improve property as much as possible to raise rents as high as the market will reliably bear (vacancy kills your NOI and scares off acquirers) and then sell the property.
If they allow PWAs to get around the 30% IAP feature, then in 5 years there will be no more native apps, only PWAs. I doubt they will allow any non-google play in app purchases to take place.

Twitter CEO: Mark Zuckerberg Served Goat He Killed with a Laser Gun and a Knife
The only social networking I do anymore is twitter. The list of the thousand people I follow is so intimate, I feel like just flipping through that would reveal everything about me and be a huge violation of privacy.

But even on this platform I've spent almost 10 years curating the perfect feed on, the one that should know absolutely everything about me, I still get served endless garbage ads for junk food and pickup trucks. I can't think of two products I care about less.

Amazon is a similar story, they seem convinced that I'm a woman despite having some pretty detailed purchase history going back to 1998 suggesting otherwise.

The targeting algorithm is often wrong, they just don't seem to know it be willing to admit it.
Ask HN: Golang Clean Architecture
Theoretically I am sympathetic, but in reality I have 3 different podcast apps:

1. Overcast, great usability, terrible discoverability

2. Apple Podcast, bad usability, excellent discoverability

3. Spotify, ok usability, ok discoverability

The reason I have not unified on any one is these different trade offs and the low burden to having 3 different podcast apps. I only use Spotify for the Fantasy Footballers podcast and I can see myself unifying on Spotify if they became the sole distributor of a couple of casts I follow.

Which is to say, in practice, I do not share your conviction.
How is this news worthy? Or news to anyone for that matter?
Do you have any sources or related info about this? That's super interesting.
This is a good idea.

I think it should be mandatory to publish your code, dataset (or at least a sample of the verification data), and then the trained model weights if you are publishing a neural network "application" paper.

It's very simple to put it on github etc, and then link it in the paper, disappointing when it doesn't happen.

This problem doesn't just exist for neural networks. There are lots of papers published presenting some algorithm, but they never provide the source you can quickly check or experiment. Certainly now the technology exists to allow things to be more open (ie github).
The author is here.

I learned Golang a year ago and trying to create an architecture on it. But later I found the "domain" term. So then I try to implement it on this PR.

Scruton’s antipathy to “modernism” — which he seems to believe is a single hegemonic idiom rather than countless strands of invention

Scruton doesn't actually believe that, but the sort of people who read Meades will mistake his torrent of pompous verbiage for knowledge of his subject.
This is why we can't have good things.
I don't have statistics, but let's say a lot fail at step 1 or 2. Generally developers build something without validating it is worth building first. Plenty of great ideas out there, but find a market before you build. If you find the market, you can then figure out monetization and decide if it is worth building, but usually, I'd say the vast majority fail between step 1 & 2 as you have listed them.

Hardest part depends on who you are and what is happening. e.g. if you are a dev who is afraid to get in front of people then usually that is the hardest part and where you will fail.

Gaining market share is about how you advertise and which niche you target first. Within all markets there exists niches you can exploit first, and then expand. The key is finding them and exploiting them. And there is a definite need to spend money on marketing and business development which is foreign to a lot of engineering mindsets at first.

BTW -- not bashing on engineers/developers it is just where most people fail that come from engineering backgrounds IMO.
I think they have already? https://open.spotify.com/playlist/37i9dQZF1DWTUm9HjVUKnL
Just a guess, but some of these companies are highly leveraged (mcclatchy definitely is), which isn't sustainable when rates have been hiked and revenue doesn't grow to match. If they're calendar year, now is the time they have to evaluate their next debt rollover. Hence the layoffs.

I'm not sure I understand. Overwrite the local data with what? If you have history on the server turned on, then there's only one set of data, you don't need to overwrite the local data with anything. You just keep it where it is.

Welcome to the service mesh era: Introducing a new Istio
Those positive cash flow services are managed. It’s cheaper to run your own Postgres instance in EC2 than it is to run RDS, until you have to pay someone to operationalize it.

You pay $.09 an hour more for an RDS m5.large than you do for an EC2 m5.large. What kind of DBA can you get for $67 a month? That’s maybe one hour of a good DBA’s time per month, tops.

Now, someone will correctly point out that you can run way more compute on a colo’d server than an EC2 instance and they’d be right. But when you realize you’re paying AWS for hypervisor patching, network automation - I’ve worked in places where a security group change in AWS was equivalent to a two week servicenow ticket with the network team - ...

The business perspective to AWS is that you bake operational costs into the product and stop paying people that generate those costs. Not good for sysadmins who aren’t willing to change, but it’s where we are. And it’s why you can’t just say “open source makes this convertible without difficulty” - somebody’s still gotta manage those services ;)
Unless you're some top hat wearing, moustache twirling villain I don't see how layoffs are good news. Let's not get too arrogant just because our field is on a high. Too young to be affected by 2000 or 2008 or just lacking sympathy in general?
How could the Americans have missed the boat on this completely? I find that hard to believe.
