>Right, so nothing stops you from altering the search results at will, which is the most critical part of the system in my opinion.

You don't use the search server to perform resolution of claims, the search engine gives names that you then look up yourself. The resolve operations are provided by the SPV server, it cannot falsify results sent the the client as the client validates everything it gets (if the claim is winning this includes a proof that it is winning at the current block height). The server (like other SPV servers) could in some cases omit records/return false negatives, but it cannot alter them.

The SPV server is also open source and you can configure lbrynet to use whichever server you want, you don't need to use the default operated by us.

Systemd is great if you/the company are developing your own software that need to be daemonized. Its easy to write/copy one .service file for all the distributions than to create some shell scripts/service descriptiors for a bunch of different distros.

The alternative approach is to use supervisord - it also have service descriptors and does what systemd does. The last time we tried to use it(rhed6 had no systemd) we found it lacking some options important to us.

That's irrelevant. If the phone carrier wants to lock those phones down, fine, though Apple has typically fought against carrier mods.

However the same App Store policies apply to all iPhone owners, regardless of how it was purchased.
Also, directives typically describe goals, not the way to reach them. That gives individual countries some freedom.

For example, Directive 2015/720 requires member states to reduce single-use plastic bag use by 50% by 2017 and 80% by 2019, but doesn’t tell anything about how to do that.

Denmark taxes companies giving away bags, Ireland taxes every bag sold, the Netherlands made it illegal to give out free bags (with exceptions), Serbia (not EU, but aspiring to become an EU country) taxes manufacturers and importers of plastic bags, etc (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase-out_of_lightweight_pla...)

And yes, there likely are opportunities to game this. If you buy a can of beer or a single-use bottle of soda in Germany, for example, you pay a deposit that you get back when you return the empty vessel. Often, you can buy the same vessel in Belgium, where the deposit is lower, or the Netherlands, where deposits only exist for bottles of half a liter or more.

Ask HN: Is There a Technical Decision That Snowballed and Crippled Your Startup?
I began thinking about how some decisions that seem innocuous or well-intended or naive or desperate eventually grow into very large problems that are resource sinks and from which recovery is difficult or not possible (i.e. fatal). I ask the community because I am curious about patterns that may exist or pitfalls that can be or have been identified (and any good stories/anecdotes!).
Yes, half an hour is a bit more than just "git and GitHub are different things". It also includes a bit of explaining the basics of how git really works under the hood because I've found that users who don't make that distinction also don't really know what to do when something goes wrong. I try to get everyone to a point where they can resolve most common issues without resorting to mashing buttons at random in their GUI of choice.

While I generally agree with this sentiment, based on what I've read I don't believe that is what happened here. The rantings and ramblings posted by Mark really do sound like he may be struggling with a paranoid personality disorder. During a period where he was seemingly absent and unresponsive the community decided to continue to work on the project and try to iron out some bugs. As far as I can tell no one tried to hijack his project or monetize the work.
It seems to be a pattern where protections aren't extended until a state or some government gets silly and the courts just decide that it is absurd to not have the same protection at that level and extends it.
> countries like the U.K., who have a strong national identity

I laughed, good one. You're aware of Scotland almost voting for independence, and Northern Ireland being demographically only a matter of time until independence (reunification with Ireland)? Or that both of those places voted overwhelmingly to remain in the EU? Gibraltar voted 99% remain.

So which bit of the UK wants to be an independent nation? There's about a dozen permutations you can arrive at. If Scotland and / or Northern Ireland goes, expect independence for Yorkshire and Cornwall, maybe Northumbria campaigns.

I think just about the only thing that unites the UK at present is the dire quality of this generation of Westminster politicians. Perhaps also embarrassment of being British and associated with them.
Can confirm some of this is true, but it would be overstating the division. It's a LONG conversation that I would be happy to have with a couple beers, but as a mixed Piemontese-Sicilian person living in the US I have a little more perspective on that than the average person :)
> .corp, .home, and .lan are also reserved, just not codified into an RFC yet.

They aren't reserved as the term is usually used for domains. Reservations don't exist in outside of those codified in RFCs; the IANA is the party that reserves domains and the full current list of reserved special use domains is here:

https://www.iana.org/assignments/special-use-domain-names/sp...

More general info on reserved domains is here:

https://www.iana.org/domains/reserved

Note that of those domains you falsely describe as reserved, .home was suggested as a special use domain in RFC 7788, but that was updated by RFC 8375 to the reserved domain .home.arpa.

.home, .corp, and .mail (but not .lan, AFAICT) are subject to a ICANN policy decision against granting delegations as TLDs, though, which means they won't become real TLDs while that policy is in effect (it doesn't mean they won't get reserved for a use which might conflict with what you might adopt them for, the way .local has for some uses, though.)
I think what they meant is that it's not clear to the average non technical user. It's clear to the average HN reader.

For 20+ years, in GUI design, it's been proven that if you present users with a challenge/warning prompt they will do whatever is necessary to click "yes/ok/i understand/install this thing" to accomplish what they think is their goal.

It would be worth having a deeply buried toggle within the iOS UI that you can change, if you're an actual developer. Otherwise installing an enterprise certificate on iOS should have larger, scarier, more time consuming and more difficult to bypass warnings.

another shocker. The smell of "Chlorine" in the pools is not caused by "chlorine" but by the urine. Chlorine has no smell when mixed with water. Add urine, and you get the "Chlorine" smell thats typical of pools.

I agree. Fox is a factory that happens to make movies. A corollary here would be to say that "fashion as an art form is truly dead" because Wal-Mart sells mass produced graphic tees for children.
People just need to learn to check their right side mirror before turning.
Urine and feces are completely different from a bacterial point of view, so this is a completely different level of contamination.

At a kiddie pool I visited sometimes, this happened and they drained the whole thing. Maybe there is a chlorine regime that can be applied when/if this happens to a larger pool.

I don't hire Indians as freelancers or employees. Whenever I post a Freelance role, I can be sure that I will get at least 1-2 generic applications from Indians. Usually they are part of some cohort of other IT workers - so even if I accepted their offer, I would have no idea who my information was being exposed to or who the work was actually being done by.

Cheating and dishonesty is part of the culture, sadly - to the extent that parents will even climb school buildings to pass cheat notes to students during exams:

https://www.huffingtonpost.in/2015/03/19/en-masse-cheating-p...

Part of this is the bodyshop-encouraging nature of the H1B and other 'skilled' visas around the world. Limits should be placed to ensure that only 20% of all visa types can be given to any country, to avoid one country completely monopolising the visa type, and creating positive feedback effects (ie. Indians hiring other Indians or helping eachother game the system). Right now 76% of all H1B visas are taken by Indian workers which I think partly represents the scheme's failure.
Joining the bandwagon of anything from Google, be cautious. Do I really need to be using this? Is there any alternative?
Also the maximum fine for the offense is $10k, and he was given $1200 in fines. Yet a $42k car was taken.

That was 4x the maximum penalty, and almost 20x the fine. How that was ever legal remains confusing to me.
Looking at the physical world it seems what "I" am is the integration of the cells/components of my body with the rest of universe to create a point of experience. That point of experience only exists with the integration of everything, and "I" is a component of that which would not exist otherwise. Ego ignores this and tells us we are separate from the whole process and often that we are above it, but the concept of my independent self may be an abstraction that helps my mind cope with survival in the natural world

> I think I was labeled the toxic worker in my previous job. I was a team lead and kept bring up concerns to my manager

If someone was using the term "toxic" simply because of those behaviors, I'd say they were just using the wrong word.

Based only on what you wrote, another possibility seems to be that some aspect of how you communicated those concerns, or some other aspect of your behavior entirely, is what caused people to consider you "toxic". It would be interesting to hear your former manager's view of things.

In my own experience, I've had plenty of cases where my own view of my conduct was very different from how my coworkers viewed me. The cumulative impact of miscommunication and my occasional lack of self-awareness has caused me some serious grief.
I agree with you that Google, an advertising company, would benefit greatly from secretly including a microphone (a-la Facebook giving you ads for stuff you've only spoken about out loud) however I disagree with your insinuation that the person you're replying to is a pro-government or pro-Google shill. I think Occam's razor in this scenario can lead you to two different conclusions.
I deal with people who call "containers" "dockers". I've stopped complaining, but I'm still disappointed.
Yeah, that's interesting. The Fourteenth Amendment clearly applies to states; less so to cities/towns. Seems like SCOTUS is coming solidly down on the "of course they meant any level of government, folks".

>`"this has privacy implications" - no - it only has the perception of privacy implications. Because Google is not actually [intruding] on people's privacy [...]`

I've got to disagree here: it has privacy implications because at Google's end they can issue a software update and now be monitoring all audio, and the T&C no doubt say they can be unilaterally varied without notification. That all means that Google think I accept Google snooping on me; of course I don't but in court Google lawyers would say I did, and them being in a position to do that is important.

Also, if Google can enable the mic at some point then it's likely that's a possibility for a third party (crackers), OR that Google could do it in response to a legal demand from a government.

There seems no good reason to me that the specification summary can't say "microphone - not in use yet, reserved for future applications"; with a sentence somewhere expanding on that explaining they want the ability to improve the device later and do shipped a mic because it could be useful to expand the products capabilities.

Some of us actually do read instruction books; it would no doubt get some column-inches in a positive way ("what changes might Google make").

Google know everything they make is going to get a tear-down and that mics are going to be discovered in short-shrift: it's ignorant to not anticipate that. In fact one really has to assume they knew this "issue" would come up.

Honestly, your 9/10 bit makes you sound like a manager who has been called out for making poor decisions. That isn't what I'd consider a toxic employee AT ALL. If you're making stupid decisions, you should be called out on it. Going by your definition, the manager would be considered toxic to the company as well.
I think that our demonization of pedophilia will been seen by future generations as one of our cultural failings. It pushes people into secrecy and hiding. This isolation and alienation can keep borderline criminals from seeking and receiving the help they need before they abuse children.

We should also be careful about removing free speech from minors to alleviate our own sense of disgust.

However, YouTube has created, monetized and helped spread a network of people encouraging sexual exploitation and abuse of minors. That is incredibly messed up and people at YouTube should face criminal charges for this.

The lack of Estonia seemed curious to me as well, given Estonia's voting history regarding Article 13. Then I looked up the voting history for all these countries. [1] The votes against Article 13 have been as follows:

Poland 72% (36 vs 14)
Netherlands 71% (17 vs 7)
Finland 50% (6 vs 6)
Italy 38% (25 vs 41)
Luxembourg 33% (2 vs 4)

Sweden 100% (18 vs 0)
Estonia 83% (5 vs 1)
Denmark 17% (2 vs 10)

Looking at this frankly raises more questions than it answers. Has there been a big change of heart in say Italy suddenly? They've been voting in favor of article 13 thus far.

There will always be people with high ambition that want to perform and grow, and those people will likely be in contention with another type of person who wants a relaxing, stable, fun, and sustainable work environment. It's the job of leadership to match the right people together and set values and boundaries so that both of those employee types can satisfy their desires. It's lazy to just start labelling people as toxic. It's an oversimplification. Imagine putting a high performance athlete who is driven by the need to push themselves and compete with a bunch of lazy couch potatoes who just want to socialize and get a light workout.

Most movie-goers are primarily goers and only secondarily viewers. They decide to go to the movies, then they decide what they want to watch. Major blockbusters change the equation and draw in non-habitual consumers (hence their importance to Hollywood), but most movie productions aspire to little more than an appealing trailer, a bit of star power and sufficient entertainment value to avoid alienating their core customers. Retaining those customers is much easier than persuading someone like you to make a special trip to the theater for a critically acclaimed movie.

The rise of Netflix and the decline of Blockbuster has decimated the secondary market for movies, further pushing the industry towards conservatism. It's much harder to convince people to pay to see a quirky indie picture or a sleeper hit at home, so movies that don't do well in the opening weekend are pretty much a dead loss. As with Spotify and the music industry, $12/mo subscriptions can't make up for the loss of $9 cinema tickets, $4 rentals and $15 DVD sales.

Cinema isn't in a healthy place right now, much to the benefit of television - the economics for broadcast and streaming TV are much more favourable and there's an influx of talent.
You raise a very poignant point, should votes that are borderline, that the UK MEP's have voted recently be reviewed?
Italy is probably the worst European example of this. For most of history the country was split into nation states that warred with each other. Even after unification, there's a strong cultural divide between the north and the south.
Oh, that was the other thing, the residential gateway wouldn't allow me to host anything on IPv6; so the natural solution is to use my he.net tunnel (it's nice that that also has a static IP), which wasn't possible either (until I started bypassing the gateway)
What's frustrating here is that so much of our government depends on actual case law.

This it's possible for massive injustice to happen for decades before we have a resolution.

This is one of the reasons technology can be so frightening because there's no case law and the rate of technology is exponential which means there is the potential for GREAT evil to happen without any resolution except to fight it out and get it in front of the Supreme course.
> Hate to break it to you guys but just like there are straight males who aren't rapists, many of the people with these attractions never act on them.

Not all straight males are turned on by rape. The appropriate comparison is rape fetishists or maybe even the more general umbrella of sexual sadism.
It seems like those cases should be because if there's no crime filed against a person related to the case there's no fine to assess in the first place so any 'fine' (read asset forfeiture) is excessive because it's >$0. Very much not a lawyer but the logic seems to hold.

The whole asset forfeiture without any charges being filed always seemed really sketchy because in the end you're still taking assets from a person (so long as they're claimed, eg maybe if they find a pile of money in an abandoned drug lab a seizure would be valid if no one comes forward saying it's theirs at which point they should charge the person with crimes and seize the money after trial).
