systemd is far more than an init system though, it's a total rethink of how linux systems are controlled and managed.

Rewatch the first half of the video and imagine it was a bunch of random tools with proper names (like grep, ntpd, syslogd) etc, that had all been built separately but happen to nicely tie into each other, rather than "systemd-blah"
The "safe space" work environment will end up becoming the new corporate behemoth style office type, and we'll start seeing 2012 style trendy startups looking for "toxic 10xers" or some sort of similar label. Having that edgy ground floor dev ends up being a new selling point.

I do wonder, if your whole team is made up of these "toxic" individuals, does productivity skyrocket as a result of the constant competition?

On an aside, isn't the end outcome of the article just an office full of mediocrity where no one really sticks out? How do you get natural leaders with that kind of situation?
I'm not terribly concerned with this particular seizure from the drug dealer the case is about, but glad it sets a precedent for other cases where police may try and abuse power to pick on citizens.
LBRY sounds like some kind of combination of cryptocurrency and P2P file sharing. Notably, cryptocurrency has been used as a money payment system by criminals, and P2P file sharing has been used as a content distribution platform for illegal content like child pornography. I know that this may come as a shock to some who are deep into the cryptocurrency rabbit hole, but common sense dictates that combining these two technologies in an irresponsible way can and will get you into trouble with the law.

I don't think that you have clearly answered how LBRY would or even could address this problem. Worse still, you have admitted in writing that "The LBRY protocol is fully decentralized and censorship-resistant ... infringing content may be stored on our servers, by the uploader and by anyone else who may have downloaded it." [1] I understand that you plan to have some kind of censorship, but you cannot realistically monitor all of the data in your network. YouTube has resources to monitor what people are uploading to their content platform, you do not and you will have a hard time proving to the law that you did. Even if could you do this monitoring effectively, your product is designed and advertised to be "censorship-resistant."

Walk me through this ... you find child porn on LBRY and you "censor" it in your "app," but you know that LBRY is censorship-resistant, and you know that the child porn is still out there, you even know which IP addressed might have it. What would you do then? At that point, you should get a lawyer. A lawyer would likely encourage you to contact law enforcement authorities, after taking your money. Either that, or you do nothing until the FBI knocks on your door.

It appears that the FBI might not be the only three-letter agency you could be dealing with. You mentioned that you "banked millions in the cryptocurrency boom" and you provided a link to a page on your website which provides "Quarterly Reports" which imitate the Investor Relations web page of a publicly traded corporation. [2] Your "Q2 2016" report states that, "Depending on fundraising over the next 3 months, we may entertain private placements via structures that align with the long-term interest in LBRY and minimize market impact." [3] The "Q4 2018" report has statements like "118,635 operational credits were used for the LBRY employee LBC purchase program." [4] In other places you refer to your organization as "LBRY Inc." It is conceivable that the SEC could take an interest in this as well, after they hear from their pals at the FBI.

I know you're saying this sarcastically, but in the context of the rest of your comments, it sounds a lot more like self-pity. Take a second to read the comments you're responding and realize how much you're projecting your own complexes onto comments that are saying nothing close to what you seem to think they are.
"Sharp rebukes" are exactly what the site guidelines ask users not to give each other, regardless of how wrong someone is or you feel they are.

If another comment was somehow insensitive, it's fine to gently offer some information about that. It's not fine to blame one another or take a thread massively off topic.

It’s a statement of how I perceive things. It’s not an anti-American or pro-China perspective. It’s just the way the world is now. American soft power is being diminished. I don’t think this is disputable or controversial. As China’s economy gets bigger it’s natural for this to occur. It will eventually be the case that China’s economy becomes the most important one. The loss of American soft power would be happening with or without Trump being the President. I didn’t mention Trump in my post so I don’t know why you bring him up.

In one multi company contract situation, we spent more than six months arguing about which object-oriented database to use. Always arguments about C versus C++ versus Java.

Many technical decisions are based on strong opinions, and not any facts like benchmarks.

There are decisions that went bad after the fact. Like a database vendor that went out of business, or operating system updates that killed third party libraries, or changes in pricing or licensing, or bugs the vendor would not fix.
There's an entire genre of posts on HN which amount to someone telling a terrible customer support story about some FAANG-y company, with the result (and likely intention) that the attention forces the FAANG to turn around, generously fix the problem, and offer the author profuse apologies and freebies to show how nice they are.

Not only is it sad that the same thing is now being done by a well-known company, but what makes it even worse is that this post probably hasn't gotten enough attention to make Google care.

I mean -- I could give you literally dozens of "facts" -- so your comment is a strawman. its not hysteria, and I am skeptical of anyone who denies abuse. As a victim of abuse, I really can't stand people who say such things.
HSTS only works if (1) the endpoint properly supports it, (2) the browser supports it, (3) the list is up to date, (4) there is no attacker ever waiting for you to hit the page for the first time or when HSTS expires.

(2) is not really a concern any more, (3) occasionally becomes a concern, (1) is a concern for most of the web, and (4) is a concern for literally every use of HSTS.

The whole point of HSTS is to ward off man-in-the-middle. If all a man in the middle has to do is wait, and is eventually guaranteed a shot at exploiting you, they will. So all HSTS gives you is the small hedge that if an attacker is present, but not persistent, and not targeting you specifically, you're slightly more secure.

Basically, it only protects you if a random hacker is sitting in a coffee shop you don't normally go to, and only if your browser is up to date, and only if every site you want to visit uses HSTS, and only if you've visited them before. It's so incredibly specific that it's almost pointless.

A better solution would be either (A) an extention to the specification to actually support a "secure://" URI prefix, or (B) a proxy or browser mode that only allows valid HTTPS connections. These are user interface fixes, because the entire point of HSTS is to prevent users (and really bad apps, I guess) from accidentally using HTTP.
1. It's great but it's moving too fast sometimes. RN ecosystem is pretty bad so no way I would recommend any less mature alternatives (flutter for example).

2. Heard of Elm and unidirectional data flow (flux, redux...). Didn't use Elm, but did use redux and flux. It makes it easier to discover what is going on in the code which means faster bug fixes, faster features...

3. No, I did not

4. I don't care as I never plan to be Swift developer

5. We do, for primary web and mobile app (~15 frontend/mobile engineers)

6. If the main requirement is to be cross-platform and share the code I would go exactly for this stack React

7. Not so much about react, but Redux part of the codebase can be entirely shared if written correctly, all you have to do is write views for different platforms (mobile/web)

8. I heard of hooks, spend some time to understand, and I am OK with it but won't be pushing it in our company as I am not entirely convinced. I liked class based components having things explicit and not too much magic. Hooks felt like they were hyped by todo list warriors on the first day it was announced. Let's see how it turns out in bigger projects
I vaguely remember claims from people using it to automate things for internal software.

As far as public facing web apps like HN - I think the only things out there are clones of HN using the same codebase. The truth is the way the application and news code are designed makes it difficult to implement much besides a HN clone or something very nuch like it, without much suffering. No one is building a commerce app out of it or anything.
That's not true at all. You're giving a random developer with whom you have no pre-established relationship, and allowing them to install an enterprise-level certificate on your device. You're giving them the ability to do all kinds of things with your device, either intentionally or unintentionally, that you'd never have if you were side loading the app yourself. There's a reason that sideloading apps typically isn't a single-tap.

In other words, there are no useful apps on these stores because you have no idea of really knowing what their use is. Considering that they're already coming from nefarious sources, there's no reason to believe they're not a trojan horse for something worse.
Tesla General Counsel Quits After 2 Months in Latest Upheaval
This article's full of problems.

The first reason chloramine gets to be a problem is users don't shower before entering the pool. The amount of urine a swimmer can introduce into the water is small compared to the amount of urea coming off their unwashed body. Icelandic people religiously shower before entering their shared baths, and look on non-showering the way we might look at people not bothering to wiping their backside.

And the other two big misconceptions are that time will take care of the problem (chlorine evaporates, amines don't) and that you can just dump in chlorine or other chemicals to get rid of the problem. It uses far less energy and wastes less water to simply dump and replace the pool water (chlorine tablets require ridiculous amounts of water and energy in their manufacture).
That's an odd way to characterize it, IMO. Like if someone wanted to argue that Zemeckis makes substandard movies because he wants to profit from it, I should be able to argue that the Leanardo DaVinci painted substandard art because he profited from it. 100 years from now, nobody will care if Zemeckis made money, because he'll be dead. The legacy is what remains. The art is what is left behind, and what is left behind is better preserved if more people like it. I would argue that the value of art is not a pure measure of quality, but more like the product of quality and outreach.

As opposed to the pedestal people put supra national institutions such as the EU? Rome? Napoleon's Empire? all failed eventually.

Neither did the European Union. All societies are man made constructs, what your point?

> It's only our contemporary bias that tells us that the subordination of the political will of the hamlet to the nation is good and that the subordination of the national will to a continental or regional will is bad.

Well, the EU is more power concentrated in the hands of fewer people. By nature it will always be less democratic than governance at a smaller scale. And these structures tend to seek even more power as time goes, not less.

What is better? more tyranny,bureaucracy or more democracy?

Ignoring local cultures and socio-economics specificities by trying to impose arbitrary rules to an entire continent? In that case there will always be winners and losers.
> It reacts with Chlorine to produce an irritant that irritates your eyes and nose.

So does pretty much everything related to your body, including the stuff usually present on your skin, the outside of your eyes, and the inside of your nose, throat, and lungs.

Which is part of why chlorine itself is noted to be “irritating to the nose, throat, and lungs” and “[a] severe irritant of the eyes”, without any qualifications of “if first combined with urine.” [0]

And why, when chlorine was used as a chemical weapon in warfare, it wasn't as a chlorine-urine binary agent.

> yet you would punish them if they had repeat offenders commenting under their videos

You misunderstand. If the uploader keeps uploading videos of minors that garner mass sexual comments, the uploader gets banned.

Uploader uploads preteen girl deepthroating popsicle. Lots of pedophiles come along and express their pleasure in the comments with water squirting emoticons and such. Bam, video flagged and taken down. Uploader uploads preteen daughter doing handstands/nipslips. Pedophiles return to comments to express pleasure in their sick way. Uploader is now repeat offender and account is banned.

I don't see why this is a big problem. If it's a family video make it private.

ML can be used to train algo on the latest slang.

> I have no doubt Google/YouTube/law enforcement currently have the capabilities of tracking down anybody using these services without any paper trails, that's in no way part of the issue.

Really? Why aren't they doing it? How do they track down people uploading via VPNs and such? Tying account to bank makes it much more difficult to evade law enforcement.
> How is a union able to pay that much to their leader on the one hand, yet completely unable to help defend this Amazon employee against an abusive manager?

> I often used, in a modified way, the Socratic method to show someone that their argument was wrong.

The Socratic like approach seems on practice to be "win the battle, lose the war", while, for comparison, Carnegie would be something like "win the war while may be loosing the battle". Being myself that typical "battle winner war looser" with the effect amplified by the typical Russian lack of soft skills, i was at some point given a enlightening talk by a friendly American which sounded something like this "Look, you're a <high compliment of my technical abilities, i mean he is an American after all :) >. You say the technically correct things which you always start with 'No,...' and that doesn't let it to result in the otherwise possible productive effect. "

As for capitalism and productivity I highly recommend Dan Lyons’ Lab Rats exposing the complete chaos that human management is in.

People dynamics are complex and well, dynamic. Changes and rules carry potential for difficult to predict outcomes.

Humans are not hens and capitalism has turned out to be extremely unproductive in many situations requiring collaboration — who would’ve thought that putting short term self interest above everything else is not the best of ideas.

They used Magnetic Heading difference, with the difference between the setting sun angle, to determine general direction of the Cessna from the DC-10.

Then they used VHF boxing to pinpoint the Cessna. AT this point he was told to Fly NW. This direction alone would probably have saved him.

However Navigation at dark over the ocean is an iffy thing so always work it till you get home. So that is what they did. Since the Cessna could not see the fuel trail made by the DC-10 since it was higher up and the pilot could not see through his canopy, they used sunset settings times to further locate the Cessna.

Now with this additional directional confirmation Vette could have told the pilot a more exact heading and then, the oil rig location confirmed it.

If not for the initial course correction to fly NW the Cessna would have never seen the oil rig and would be somewhere in the ocean today.

Before my CPAP, I was sleeping 9-10 hours a day just to feel normal. It's weird, but my CPAP machine has been the biggest contributor to my productivity gains in the last few years.

This is my first time hearing about CPAP. Has anyone else tried this?
Yeah, that's an issue with how the US justice system works, and a natural tradeoff from the other properties it has. The legal system works off of precedent and cannot write law, so there's no binding opinion until and unless it comes up in a legal case. Also, you have to be harmed by a law in order to have standing to challenge it. So as long as people aren't getting harmed by the lack of an "obvious" legal conclusion, the courts will basically just let it sit there until someone comes and challenges it, whereupon the "yeah, that's absurd, we're going to give a unanimous Supreme Court decision on this" comes into effect.

Sometimes it gets into a weird dynamic where the lower court knows that the Supreme Court would overturn their decision, but there isn't precedent, so they deliberately make a ruling that they expect the Supreme Court to review (and overturn) on appeal.
