Absolutely. It's a little-known and oft-overlooked fact of history that wagon trains headed west would draw up a "wagon train charter" before setting off, under which the exact responsibilities of each member of the expedition were carefully delineated. All but the youngest of children were expected to carry their fair share of the load; and the punishment for shirking was abandonment, being left in the wilderness to die. The pioneers could ill afford slackers, and wouldn't hesitate to leave them to the wolves and the buzzards.

This is why the American ideal of "rugged individualism" is a myth: like any group of humans in life-or-death circumstances, American pioneers became collectivists. Failure to do your part for the group jeopardized the entire group, and was met with harsh punishment.
That's silly.

If I have a cure for X. And if you have X but don't know about my cure -- perhaps you don't even know a cure is possible -- it's a net good for me to tell you about my cure for X. And how do I tell you if there are millions of yous I'm trying to reach? Via marketing.

I've been a hetzner customer for the past 5.5 years now,
so far I've received 21 emails from their status reports as follows:

10 from failures (2 or 3 of which directly affected me),

10 emails stating when planned maintenance of certain resources will occur

1 email to let me know of the spectre and meltdown vulnerabilities.

So far i'm pretty happy customer, and sending business their way and migrating client's sites to their cloud offerings.
Heating water by the sun is very common in Israel since the 1950'. It is not working with solar panels but rather with a system that works more or less like this:
Cold water is pumped (or flows by pressure) to the collector where the sun heats it. The heated water flows back to the collection tank. Since hot water is lighter than cold water, the heated water in the pipes moves up towards the tank, which sits at a higher level, and the cold water sinks from the tank to the bottom of the collector, creating a natural circulation cycle.
You know, I remember back in the day when this law called the CFAA made "unauthorized usage" illegal.

So.. Ive seen it used against a number of individual hackers. Why not companies?
3-6 times faster on my iPhone X in the Chrome in texture mode, 1.2 times faster in default mode.
11 times faster in default mode in Safari, 5.5 times in texture mode.
Results above are for battery-powered device, but repeating tests with charger plugged in didn't help to Chrome, but improved result for Safari up to 60 times.

It looks like results vary significantly from time to time.

I'd rather something with a bit more RAM (according to the FAQ, it maxes out at 64kb).

For the moment, I believe the ideal amount of RAM for an environment like this is one where the user doesn't hit the limit until they are attempting to do something ambitious (like a game). When that point hits, hopefully the RAM constraint is perceived as a challenge to be overcome, rather than a frustration.

For a lisp with an HDMI display, the amount of RAM would likely need to be in the megabyte range.

Also disk I/O. Increased disk latency can kill the VM performance, and it will increase, if the virtual disk is inside a (sparse) file, inside a filesystem.

In the past two years, I remember they have done scheduled infrastructure maintenance twice and unscheduled interruption for a few hours. So, no, it's not 100%. But, AWS has also had some interruptions. From personal experience, this Hetzner downtime has simply been negligible enough. Bigger issue have been replacing commodity memory a few times, which could have been avoided by paying a few more dollars for more quality.
>As for the tired trope of "As much as Apple has neglected pros" -- I'm tired of hearing that. Yes of course their mix isn't perfect for everyone but holy cow, my MacBook Pro has 4 40GPS TB ports

Yes apples support of high bandwidth ports has always been a selling point for pros. I can also mention their printer driver stack is superior, their audio driver stack is superior, their computers have good audio, their displays have consistently accurate colors, they are early adopters of qhd/5k/6k and offer computers with such displays at a steal of a price, osx is unix-like, there is various exclusive propietrary software, etc, etc.

When I say "neglected pros" I mean it though. That trashcan mac pro sucked and the release cycle of the mac pro has been awful. The macbook pro went from being the fastest WINDOWS laptop to running into worse and worse thermal throttling issues while being saddled with a crap keyboard. The pricing has actually gotten worse relative to other brands and the quest for thinness is causing TCO to creep up due to lack of repairability/user servicability. Apple smacks of focusing on their luxury image with their thin/light obsession and not enough on their prosumer roots.

Yes the improved portability is nice but the biggest jumps were years and years ago and Apple (and other brands) just seem to be getting stupid now.

> Finally, reboots are necessary on all major operating systems, even linux...

Sure, but there's the question of regularity. For the most part, I can do live updates of every part of my linux system (including the kernel if livepatch is enabled). I only have to reboot if there's something like a major change to the init system. This leaves my server with the latest bits and no downtime in the past 5 months. On the other hand, my Windows machine tries to reboot at least monthly - and that's less often than I'm sure Microsoft would like.
Almost certainly. Friendly nations' capabilities are in many ways just as important as your own. While the obvious reason for pushing the F-35 on everyone is because we get to make money for LM, it also means there are more F-35s out there that can be used in the event something happens.

Right, and I provided none. Maybe if will search I’ll find counter-links. Maybe your links are 100% unbiased and accurate. Who knows?

I don’t see irony but I see a confirming fact. The OP is a professional journalist herself, she never claims she is, or always was, free from the political bias she writes about. Quite the opposite, she confirms she has bias herself: “There is nothing more human than opinions and bias. To say we have none is dishonest.” She also admits the responsibility: “Frankly, I don’t blame them. Responsibility for this begins with us.”

> She was given special treatment to report a story that conservatives very much wanted to be true.

I live in Europe and therefore I don’t care too much about US politics. But based what I read on US media, the story seems true objectively. If you’ll read other comments to this HN post, you’ll see many anecdotal evidences.

These are just anecdotes, but based on multiple opinion polls, US population in general also thinks so. Couple links:

Windows revenue is well below Office and Cloud revenue, and even below Xbox revenue. This makes sense; a typical user is probably only paying an average of $100 on Windows, and infrequently at that. The last time I bought Windows was many years ago, when 7 came out. I took advantage of the free upgrade to 8 and then 10 since then.

Or we could just start punishing companies for massive and widely damaging data leaks. AFAIK about GDPR, it wouldn't prevent this. These things keep happening because nothing bad happens to companies that let it happen.
GDPR doesn't prevent leaks any more than anti-speeding laws prevent speeding.

GDPR tells you what you can't do and what the penalty is for being caught in violation, just like a speeding law tells you what speed you can't exceed and what the penalty is for being caught.
I learned over a decade ago that it's quite alright to ask for the top end of the salary range... And it's quite okay for a company to decline. If you have multiple offers on the table, you're going to be fine. If you have too many offers, and are interviewing too much, you probably aren't asking enough.

In the end, know what your market is paying... know what competing markets are paying too. If you're at the top of Phoenix, Austin or Atlanta market, know what SF, NYC, Seattle are paying for similar roles. Of course, you have to deliver too.

My last job search, I wound up with 4 competing offers near the top of the range... in the end, I just asked for an extra week of vacation, and that became a deciding factor. There's no shame in negotiating, and you will probably mess up, but that's how you learn.

If the US got into a hot war with China, we are all screwed.

Recall that the US succeeded in WW1 and WW2 by out-producing their opponents. They simply built more guns and tanks and munitions than everyone else. US munitions were lower quality than what was produced in Europe, but they were cheaper and available in large numbers. That's what mattered.

However, that's a strategy that won't work against China. The Chinese are the undisputed kings of building things fast and cheap. They would out-produce the US easily AND they have a much larger population to conscript into their armies.

US military chiefs must know that a land-war against China has almost no chance of success. China is too big and their army too numerous.

So if the war were to go badly (which it almost certainly would) they would be likely to consider the nuclear option... and once we go there, there's no going back. China would retaliate; Russia would likely get involved; article 5 would be invoked.... game over.

A lot of words in Hindustani (Hindi/Urdu) and other north Indian languages today are immediately from Persian but indirectly from Arabic as well, which makes things more interesting as it adds historical events (invasions, spread of religion, etc.) into the mix.
It doesn't matter how much gets spent on marketing in relative terms. If it were 99% of the budget, but R&D was larger in absolute dollars, then that'd be a net positive.

Marketing increases revenue. A portion of revenue goes to R&D. Ergo, more marketing means more revenue available for R&D.

That worker exploit doesn't make any sense, as written:

> Technically, Service Workers are an update to an older API called Web Workers. However, unlike web workers, a service worker, once registered and activated, can live and run in the page's background, without requiring the user to continue browsing through the site that loaded the service worker.

This isn't true. A service worker will be automatically shut down when it isn't attached to a browsing context. Not immediately, but it definitely doesn't support what the article describes.

> Is the idea of a hot, but non nuclear war with China realistic? I have a hard time picturing scenarios where China is sinking carriers which don't quickly escalate to full blown nuclear war.

It could be if there isn't a meaningful conventional deterrent.

Thought experiment--if the US only had strategic nuclear weapons, what would they do if China attempted to, for example, blockade Taiwan or the Philippines? It would be insane and homicidal to immediately escalate to nuking Beijing. What if the US had conventional forces, but not ones strong enough to hold off Chinese forces? They might take the risk that we wouldn't attempt a first strike.

Conversely, if it happened today, it would be proportional and reasonable to deploy conventional naval forces to escort merchant ships across the blockade. Maybe one of the Chinese ships would fire on one of the American ships, or one of the merchant ships under American protection, and maybe there might be a naval skirmish. But it wouldn't immediately escalate into a nuclear exchange. There would be an "incident", the Chinese would realize that they would have to escalate to a nuclear first strike because their naval capacity is hopelessly outclassed by ours, and thus they would probably stand down. Furthermore, China already knows this is exactly what would happen in this situation and that's one of many reasons they don't try anything.

Despite an infamous 1995 quote from a Chinese general that "in the end, you care more about Los Angeles than you do about Taipei", Chinese posturing in the Taiwan Straits in 1996 led to a large US naval deployment to the seas around Taiwan, at which point China stood down. A full-on war could still escalate to a nuclear exchange, but that is all the more deterrent against starting even a conventional war with US forces. (For similar reasons, note how Russia's bullying tends to be targeted towards countries that haven't joined NATO.)
That's known as a desire path or desire line: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desire_path
I will address your last point since all the things before that are presumptious babble. Regardless of history of law in China, Chinese prison camps and internment camps are well-documented.

Yeah, most likely that. From my experience, Google loves to profit off these oversights.
There hiring processes for larger tech companies are geared towards knowledge/skill/aptitude. Salary negotiation is often completely isolated at that level. You have to be able to do the job, but salary negotiation can mean up to a 25% or more difference in pay/benefits/vacation etc.
Yep, we're definitely going to integrate more automated analysis. As of now we do some rudimentary analysis based off the type of the bug (Heap buffer overflow, UAF), read/write size, and similar metrics, but we'll be adding more advanced methods of categorization as the platform matures.

We've been thinking about the best way to use Fuzzbuzz to benefit the OSS/bug hunting community, and the integration idea is a great one. We're also providing free plans with extra CPU power for security researchers & bounty hunters.

Ah yeah good point, ads isn't only a concern for privacy reasons but also for performance/annoyance reasons.

3Blue1Brown's youtube channel is great too for visuals and theory. I taught myself linear algebra pretty easily combined with this book.
Yea, I agree it's a touchy balance. I was careful to say 'less' rather than 'none' as it's important that the budget stays under control. I think it's a matter of finding a budgetary structure that doesn't immediately lead to conflicts of interest and corruption in a nation that admittedly loves it's military industrial complex.

I think it bears mentioning that at the moment the pendulum is somewhat on the side of congressional over-spending. There has been the ongoing issue of congress forcing the pentagon to buy more Abrams tanks to spite their strategic irrelevance (we have more than enough to satisfy our needs) because they want to keep the manufacturing lines running.
I worked for about 6 months at MemSQL while we were selling our startup Theneeds (and now I have a full time job while launching SoloKeys, so I can see also the "growing your startup" option).

My experience with MemSQL has been awesome on every possible level, before, during, and after.

I found the job via regular application process + interview, they were searching explicitly for part-time, so I'd recommend looking for that. I strongly recommend no conflict of interests of any sort, I was doing QA at MemSQL, they knew about my startup where I was doing content recommendation/machine learning/backend+web.

Aside from money, it's been great to work with another startup that: 1) was a US company (vs we were all Italian founders), 2) was in a more advanced stage (so, potential to learn about processes), 3) was and is full of great talented employees (so, great connections that we're still keeping alive).
Most macOS point updates require a reboot so you must be running an unpatched OS a lot of the time.

I've been using Hetzner for roughly 2 years and am a pretty happy customer.

I can say though that the latency is pretty bad when compared to local options -- their server are pretty geographically far from where I and others who use some of my apps access from, and I get ~200ms of latency that I can't do much about.

I try to switch to Firefox (or even Safari) every few months or so.

Firefox was close this time, but there were still a few things that forced me to switch back:

- On Chrome I can type 'thisisunsafe' (previously 'danger' and 'badidea') to skip security warnings, sometimes I have to do this at work when testing things with invalid certs. On FF there's a class of these issues (HSTS I think?) that doesn't let you bypass the warning so it's unusable.

- FF still crashes more regularly (like when plugging or unplugging an external monitor.

Thankfully the other two main issues are no longer a problem:

- FF is now fast enough to be comparable

- The third party extensions I required (switchy omega) now exist for FF.
