Ask HN: Is There Open Production Server?
There are hosted services with security and privacy concerns. For example, a type of SaaS where it does not suppose to store user data (pure computation service), is there a way to make production open?

What I am thinking is that features like collaborators with simple authorization policy, and way of verifying build (like reproducible build). Could we automatically invite customers as collaborators (or just call it "customers") to the virtual production environment, and show them all production information? Is that possible to be 100% transparent technically?
Amazon standards is you show up and dedicate at least 30 minutes to reading. You wait till everyone is done reading, and try not to pressure people to hurry.

The reason you do it in the meeting is that for more senior people, you have to block them off time to think about the document. Asking people to schedule another block of time to give feedback on YOUR problem is rude. As you get more senior you end up in way more meetings. It's hard for more junior people or ICs to understand in a lot of cases. If timing is hard, have them schedule you in a different slot.

You can tell in say google docs where everyone is reading wise. You can also see all the comments so you can also judge progress.

Ask questions in negative every 5-10 minutes "Does anyone need more time".

Once everyone is ready, start the meeting by going through comments from top to bottom.

After that it runs like a normal N-Pager meeting, or tech review or whatever.

I will say that with say google docs you can use suggestions and other things or say "I'll work on that". And just move on. It's rarely important to rabbit hole on the english, esp on engineering docs. If you're writing a actual PR or marketing doc, sure.
the speed is amazing
It's important to realize this post doesn't make any assertions about the fundamental merits of people who are rejected by Google.
I think these are separate issues (but totally valid), the great leap forward wasn't made to persecute minorities insofar as... well the result of a state planned economy. The parent is pointing out that the great leap forward wouldn't happen again because of a switch to capitalism.

You're saying the persecution of minorities hasn't changed, which is a different topic. Capitalist economies can still persecute minorities. That requires a different level of regard for human rights that doesn't exist there.
Yup. OoO is a thing from the mid-nineties for us mere mortals. CPUs like Pentium Pro and AMD K5. Of course the first out-of-order CPU is way older CDC 6600, back from 1964.

MIPS R2000 from 1986 could do simple form of speculative execution.
I think you're dead-on about that corporate motive.

The US is incredibly thin on socialism, even nominal socialism, and we already see traces of this when public-interest arguments become convenient. The Net Neutrality fight is a hideously good example; once ISPs decided their monopolies were too blatant to use free market rationales, they went out and astroturfed a narrative where cheap and fair internet was an attack on minorities and the poor.

And yes, I can't deny that US libertarianism (the party and a lot of the individual voices) is weirdly pervaded by a willingness to abandon libertarian principles in deference to corporations. It wasn't that long ago that you could find conservatives complaining about excessive "civil libertarianism" in calls for social progress. Today, it's horribly easy to find people arguing that Wells Fargo should be allowed to stretch their forced arbitration clause to cover outright fraud, because apparently the bank's rights are the only ones which we need to protect.
In the world of finance, "cash" is often shorthand for "cash or cash equivalents".

Instead of the usual layperson interpretation where cash is "a bunch of currency, either physically in my hand or in a bank account", the meaning here is "stuff with incredibly low risk" i.e. you can be very sure that you'll not lose money over time.

Sovereign debt, including bonds, is regarded as the safest type of debt and therefore falls into the 'risk-free' bucket in the finance world. Since cash is usually regarded as risk-free, the word "cash" has come to be a short-hand for "(almost entirely) risk-free assets".
I agree, you didn't look very hard.

I seem to recall that Western or Latin-1 encoding was more common (or at least, Netscape would assume) than UTF-8 in 1995. This resulted in some sites not displaying Russian characters correctly when you visited a site that didn't specify the encoding. Manually setting the encoding at times would be required.

There is no such thing as a non-cons-cell-based Lisp.

Just like there is no non-H2O water.

Well, there are isotopes: D2O is "heavy water". Similarly, not all Lisps have exactly the same cons representation down to the sub-atomic level; there are various isotopes.
It seems everybody is missing this but this could actually slow down your experience, and I'd actually guess it will in some scenarios (ie. not only a theoretical situation).

Considering a user hovering over a bunch of links and then clicking the last one, and doing this in a second. Let's assume your site takes 3 sec to load (full round-trip) and you're server is only handling one request at a time (I'm not sure how often this is the case, but I wouldn't be surprised if that's the case within sessions for a significant amount of cases). Then the link the user clicked would actually be loaded last, after all the others - this probably drastically increase loading time.

The weak spot in this reasoning is the assumption that you're server won't handle these requests in parallel. Unfortunately I'm not experienced enough to know whether that happens or not, but if so, you should probably be careful and not think that the additional server load is the only downside (which part like is a negligible downside).
Feel free to point out where the Wikipedia says that it helps with triangulation. (Hint: it does not.)

The parent commenter explicitly write "A-GPS which uses triangulation".

That is simply not true.
>harsh penalties against drug use mean less drug abuse.

Do you have a source for that? As drug abuse has been on the rise in the US for a while, and in general harsher sentences don't reduce crime.

>Where opinions differ is on how to address the problem. Harm prevention vs harm reduction. Harm prevention is the "conservative" view: drug is bad, do everything we can to prevent people from using it. Harm reduction is the idea that people will try to get high no matter what, and focus on making sure people don't kill themselves or others while doing so.

It's more, "let's do things we think will prevent people from using drugs, accept the negative side effects those things cause, and lock up those that still end up doing drugs" vs "encourage people not to do drugs, and keep those that end up using safe while they hopefully recover." Harm prevention and reduction are not mutually exclusive, you prevent as many people as you can from ending up in a bad situation and still help those that need it.
We opted for something similar when facing a technology pivot point in our front-end application. Instead of opting to re-write our entire application that had been built over the course of 3 years, we chose to integrate the replacement technology side-by-side with the original. This enabled us to add new features using the new technology as needed, along with allowing us to move old features over as we were able to. So far, I'm pretty happy with it. But, at some point, we will have to actively prioritize re-writing old content using the new technology, or else we'll be stuck with this frankenstein forever.
It's easy to craft policies that aren't business-specific per-se, but might as well be in effect.

"Any employer who commits to increasing their employee base within the city by 25,000 or more employees as measured from Jan 1, 2019 to Dec 31, 2021, shall be entitled to..."

"Any company in the oil and gas industry employing at least 500 workers within the town as of July 31, 2019 shall be entitled to..."

It would be a level playing field in one sense. If I were willing to commit to hiring 25K workers in NYC, I too would be eligible for the same tax break as Amazon...

There aren't that many defined benefits workplace pension schemes left. Some have already gone bankrupt. Others were restructured into defined contribution schemes.

And state pension schemes are not usually investment based at all. They are usually funded by current social security contributions and taxes. If they go bankrupt it's for political reasons.

More likely than bankruptcy is that many people will receive lower pensions than they had hoped for.
By the way, since .page is HSTS-preloaded, you may as well include https:// in the code snippet that includes the library. It'll avoid the http-to-https link rewriting internal redirect from happening when included from a non-secure site. It's a tiny performance improvement, but across millions of page views, it might add up.
Try mobx-state-tree. It's basically MobX with Redux-like tree structure written by the guy who did MobX. It combines best of both worlds. We use it at work and it's just such pleasure to work with, highly recommend
It would make sense. Taking on good groups was nessasary to build a good rated site but it was up to the groups to hand out the slots and you never knew who you were really dealing with. It could be FBI or some hacker. There was however scriptet ftp clients but even though they were known many places had a ban on them and did a client not obey site rules then too many nukes or banned content would get them kicked off sites.
Curated configuration generally outlives data. If storage space becomes an issue, there is value in recovering storage space but config is generally small and much more important in the long term.
Depending on how you define "direct" and "trustworthy", you may never find evidence meeting your threshold.

Some people lack "direct, trustworthy" evidence for the holocaust, after all. Anything which we don't experience directly (which is a lot of knowledge) we'll have to get from other sources.

I don't mind advocating against regulatory capture in general. If nothing else, improved access to this data will make the Westlas/LexisNexis industry more competitive.

There are a lot of ways governments generate revenue even if we want to restrict it to the legal industry. Obfuscating public information to the point that there's an oligopoly controlling access is fucked up.
What's strange to me is that younger Marvel fans(say a 12 year old born in 2007) would probably have no idea why this is amazing.
I work for a Danish municipality that co-operates a number of open source projects with other muniplacities. I know we’re a niche of sorts, but the setup we apply is to find small local development houses who can build and maintain our code based, but also sell us hosting.

We’ll need a system to handle our vacationflow, with employees reporting it, managers approving it and an integration to our payment system. We’ll handle the business understanding (it involves around 33 different tax laws and some silly organisational culture), the project management and the whole governance around the code base. You do the coding, and then you sell us the hosted solution which you run in Azure or AWS letting our ADFS handle authentication.

It’s worked marvellous so far.
The tool is inconsequential, pick whatever works for you and that has enough adoption that you aren't spending 15 minutes getting everyone accounts at the beginning of the meeting.

The features I find useful are:
- Cursor Position of readers (minor)
- Comments
- Suggestions (like google docs), helps with minor edits

The rest don't matter. Hell you don't even need suggestions. Comments are really about all you actually need.
A while back I saw a chrome extension that hid profile pictures on GitHub specifically for this reason.
That's subjective tho. Granted, i suppose flagging is democratizing, unironically.
It doesn't seem to work for me. There are no JavaScript errors in the console* but the <button> that says "test your clicking speed" doesn't even have an event attached to it. Hovering over anything for multiple seconds doesn't fire any requests in the network panel.

Anyone else having this issue?

Edit, sort of: I should note that this was years ago, maybe four years or so. I still use the same server so it probably only got slower, but on the off chance that it actually got faster... you might give it a go.
In his case, the side effects are hallucinations. Perhaps he's OK with them being prescribed if the alternative is worse.
Not a question about the article but related: what software tools are lacking in the community? Where should people start looking when brainstorming for project ideas?

We can all agree we need to give back to the community. Eventually we will need to eat too.
As somebody who lives outside of US, this is rather shocking. In Switzerland all judicial proceedings are free and open for access and that is anchored in Law. Everything is accessible on the internet with no fees, registrations or any kind fo "wall".
Geoff, for me it's real honor that you, well-known creator of Hyperscan, paid attention to what we are doing. We truly respect all the prior work in this field (Hyperscan, RE2, Rust, etc), so different benchmarks will be available.

However, we all need to keep in mind that Nevod operates on words, not characters, and Nevod targets large rule decks (1000-100000 patterns). So, we don't compete in the field of individual pattern matching or streaming matching (to some extent, goals of Hyperscan and Nevod are different). In other words, a lot of things depend on target goals, which usually are reflected in the kind of patterns and in their number.

Regarding patent. Sorry, for legal reasons I can't expose details at the moment.

Thank you for your valuable comments.
In a sense, yes. But if he has that power, he could just as easily have doubled the resources in the galaxy, and that possibility never even occurred to him.

It seems like to him it's more a convenient excuse to kill lots of people.

> The configuration of those permissible bits is exactly the difference between two cultures, no?

Sure. And that can be changed in an instant. Just put "Tiananmen Square", "Tibet" etc on your black list and the site can operate the exact same way it does today. Most users won't even notice ("it's a site to share cat pictures, why would I talk about politics"), others will not care ("oh well, those guys probably deserved it") and the rest will move to voat (or start something new, I don't know how well Chinese critics and racists mix).
While this is a prime case of what Russians call "Toad screwing a viper", it could be that just in this case, despite all his grandstanding, Bezos comes across as slightly more sympathetic than AMI.

Just because he is, by all indications, a terrible person (well, pretty regular for a founder) doesn't mean that one should blackmail him like that.
Yeah, but using the word "cash" that way isn't a good idea. I understand why they do it but it's still asking for trouble.

For one, sovereign bonds are very obviously not risk free. Governments have a long history of going bankrupt or giving bond holders haircuts. They're treated as such because regulations passed by governments force them to be treated as such, which is clearly self-serving. The finance world is mixing up "we must pretend it's risk free" with "actually risk free".

After reading this several times I still don't understand "how [they] did it." Also tried the AGPL description.[1] Can someone confirm: They just licensed it so that commercial use is prohibited without payment?

I've worked (and am working) with companies that have an open-source product and a commercial offering built around it. My experience is that it's easy to get _some_ companies to pay you, whether it's for the right license, added features, support, or consultation. But to make any significant revenue you're going to have to work hard to provide a lot more value on top of the open-source option, and you probably don't want it to be "consulting."

Then you realize that all your prospective buyers are anchored at "free" and need a lot of convincing (perceived value) to pay for the commercial version. The positioning needs careful consideration. Nobody wants to pay a five- or six-figure license for a slighty-better-than-the-free-version solution.

U.S. Steel is such a horrible company. Their coke plant in Clairton, PA (the setting of Deer Hunter if you haven't seen it, great movie...) continues to pump out pollution in violation of governmental environmental standards, including massive amounts of SO2, contributing to an astronomical asthma rate among children in Allegheny County (home of Pittsburgh). Unfortunately the city of Pittsburgh, the county, and Pennsylvania seem completely unwilling to take any action.
It actually cancels the previous request when you hover over another link
The math education I experienced focused heavily on "how". "How" such and such operation arrive to its conclusion and "how" such and such operation fulfil some "rules". Seldom does it touch on "why". Why certain notion, like linear algebra, heck, maybe even negative number, exists in first place. Procedures like negative times negative gives positive number. Yeah sure, but why? What does that mean really. I think the "why" of everything is what makes one understand anything
> It's not like you often find yourself in the situation where you want to run the same application on multiple RTOSes, it's usually way too specific to the device

Perhaps that's the point: make your program more portable across different hardware that may only support specific OSes.
True, the people worth thousands are likely people who have high disposable income or click on ads on searches like "DUI lawyer in flint MI" where clicks cost hundreds.
1. If you think the people advocating for this project are screeching, I can't even imagine how you'd describe the people who are against it.

2. 2013 is not decades ago.

3. Still, two blocks/a five minute walk.

I don't think that NOTHING will be lost, and I have literally never heard anyone advocating for this project say that, and definitely not from any official organization that represents a group of people. Contrast that to the Twitter account of Friends of Elizabeth Street Garden, which regularly peddles in misleading information and rhetoric.

It's 123 units, not 100. And it's only that small because the city anticipated huge pushback from the community if it were any larger, based on decades of experience with similar projects. I can almost guarantee that if they tried to make it any bigger they'd be fielding accusations of it being "out of context" with the neighborhood.

I don't disagree that you can be a YIMBY and care about neighborhood character. Nobody is saying it's not a unique site. But given the context, given the site's history, and given what's being gained, I find it frustrating that people are "both-sides"-ing this when the evidence weighs far more heavily in favor of one side than the other.
That often quoted 7% figure is based on US investments, I wouldn’t expect as high a return in the UK. It’s also historical, there is no guarantee it will continue. It also includes an element of risk, whereas paying down your mortgage eliminates risk.
Surely that title must be a parody? The demo is a nightmare of interactive elements flashing back and forth, nevermind the instant location permission request and subscription popup. Of course there's also the mandatory annoying Intercom garbage.
There is a very similar case going on in Norway, where Håkon Wium Lie (creator of CSS) is being sued: https://www.wiumlie.no/2018/rettspraksis/06-11-blog.html
In all honesty, personally I'd push all adjacent page content. HTML compresses very well, its minor compared to JS and page images. If the user proceeds to a pushed page, they'd just be waiting for the browser to do the render and collect images. It'd be a compromise, since most images are probably going to be standard page furniture, so likely cached already.
Are you using an older browser? It sounds like your browser doesn’t support JS modules.
Interesting. So this could be used internally in a web app i guess.
> An alternative, and possibly better solution, would be to build the double from bits directly, rather than doing an expensive division.

Clever trick:

uint64 x = 0x3FF0'0000'0000'0000 |
(rand64()&0xF'FFFF'FFFF'FFFF)
return *(double*)&x - 1.0

This gives a perfect uniform distribution on [0,1), with the caveat that everything is rounded to a multiple of 2^-52 (≈ 2.22e-16).
Sure, laws can be changed relatively fast as well. But what's your pitch here? Is it that we're all just on a sliding scale of censorship? Or that we shouldn't censor at all and truly embody our ideal of "freedom of speech"?
Putting a lot of faith on the organization's leadership: it would befit them to treat it as anonymous, even if they have the capability of identifying posters. It would be an incredibly valuable window to honest feedback, although harder to pin down.

It's similar to how every employee understands that their manager has the capability of getting their corporate chat logs. It's one thing to have the capability and another to act on it. If a manager acts on it, it will almost always destroy any trust between the manager and his/her team. Within the organization, they will almost certainly be branded "that psychopath manager that reads chat logs" unless there was an exceptionally good reason to justify it (e.g. a legal reason).
Per my cursory reading of the source code it looks like it might only prefetch one link at a time: https://github.com/instantpage/instant.page/blob/master/inst...

If that's not how it works, it could easily be modified to add a throttle on how many links it will prefetch simultaneously.

People think all debt is bad.

A mortgage is leverage. Exclude that from typicle debt.

Bad debt is anything nontaxdeductible and over riskfree rate. So consumer debt
