AWS, in the short term.

In the long term their actions make it impossible to build any sort of business based directly on FOSS. You have to do support, or hosting, or something else.

Guess what, AWS has a lot more money to do both of those things.

and Amazon will keep right on going sucking up code and giving nothing back.

We need aggressive licensing changes.

Hell, API copyright might be necessary to stop this nonsense. We can still have good licensing in that scenario.
It would be nice if we could get some LFTR action going while we're waiting.
> It makes it sound like there's some toxic debris Boeing is still racing to clean-up, when it fact the story is just about financial/reputational after-effects.

It doesn't make it sound like that at all. I don't think anyone except maybe you reads it that way. "Fallout" well-understood to mean "effects" or "results".

One thing it took me a huge while to understand is that all the old portable consoles could exist thanks to specialized hardware for graphics rendering in particular

I think a lot of these projects don’t use that kind of thing, which makes me wonder if there’s a market/space in the community for a hardware graphics driver off the cheapest FGPA possible that could drive a TFT and enable flappy bird at a bit more than 20FPS
> I don't think it's a challenging enough problem on its surface to keep someone from re-writing it and replacing you long term

Agreed, it's nice to get something up and running for a personal project, but I'm building a commercial app that has to pass a basic security audit and every 3rd party service adds another attack vector and potential leak of sensitive data (like name, Email & phone).

I love the idea of being able to run a service like this though that's basically a set and forget hackathon project.

With headphones in or bluetooth paired. Who the hell reads a billboard? Who pairs their cellphone with their car, or owns headphones? Damn near everybody. Just try to buy a new car without Bluetooth.

Old propaganda distribution channels are dead men walking, and everybody knows it. Unless you're advertising a chicken wings and cleavage bar at the next exit, you're a damn fool for paying for a billboard.
Science should be apolitical, also white men are oppressed wahhhhh.

That's definitely not new; that has been observed as a natural consequence of Free Softw
are licensing since at least 1990-ish. And I only say that as the latest possible date because it's when I first got internet access and saw discussion of it.
* If you start a company and open source your core/clients, your product becomes part of AWS, and AWS runs you into the ground. *

In the world I live in, far more commercially supported open source runs outside of AWS, then runs ON AWS, then AWS has copied and usurped.
She cray.

Some airlines and regulators ground 737 Max in wake of Ethiopian Airlines crash
So you would rather it be controlled by a very anti-open source for profit corporation nstead?
Exactly! VC funding has its place, but it also greatly restricts the types of outcomes that are favorable.

I mean, in our case, we're building a geocoder. We'd have to raise, no exaggeration, tens of billions to build a moat considering the current market leader is Google. There's no way to guarantee that outcome.

On the other hand, there is _so_ much room left after Google for other companies if they don't have to get massive. There's room for us, and at least a dozen other companies I know of that have their own take on geocoding that their own customers appreciate.

Several more airlines grounded their 737 Max fleets today, but none of the US carriers did.
Agree 100%. The comp committee should have smacked this back in Page’s face if they didn’t support it. What’s more likely (guessing here) is that they didn’t want to pick a fight with the company’s founder and potentially set themselves up for a legal fight with Rubin (Page, like all company officers, can legally bind the company to a contract regardless of approvals, so Rubin would probably have a case here if they tried to renege).

Anyone else would have been fired for pulling this stunt. Firing the co-founder of Google for breaking the rules - well, I guess he called their bluff.

Dumber things have happened. Boeing executives and FAA administrators may feel sincerely committed to their decision to approve MCAS without retraining and that they're doing everybody a service by keeping cool heads.

Hi Jason,

I can tell this problem has affected you and you have thought about it deeply. Really appreciate your feedbacks. Overall I agree with you completely.
The biggest assumption regarding this startup/project is that the p2p charging market can be build up to a substantial size beyond just one-off emergencies or long road trip cases. This is something some folks doubt and something I'm betting my blood, sweat and tears in.
What makes me confident is my own experience. I was FORCED to try the couch surfing type of charging with Plugshare first that I was super skeptical of myself, and LUCKILY my first experience worked really well. I also noticed with just 2 simple features the experience can be mostly consistently good.
There are more than 10,000 hosts on Plugshare, and if the experience can be consistently good, it could turn into THE largest charging network in the world. We are not there, but I want to get there.
It's hardly infinitesmal, that's my point.

With an average of 175 737's operating since launch, 4K total widebody commercial aircraft and over a dozen widebody crashes in that period, you get over 10%. Some estimates there but you still have the endpoint issue as well.
The cure, of course, is revolutionary societal change, and a replacement of monolithic cultural institutions like the private, authoritarian firm and the similarly hierarchical church with worker-led cooperatives comprising human-in-the-loop planning. Leadership currently _ignores_ the workers' plight–burnout, depression, and other mental issues–to the degree that it can, and as a result we're all encouraged to live in the margin of fiscally tolerable depression.

You misunderstand the post to which you're replying. Psychedelics, for one thing, are in another class from alcohol (a central nervous system depressant). Their use does not make the underlying issues bearable. In fact, they're just as likely to stimulate a rejection of one's participation in stale institutions. Likely, this is a reason they're kept illegal. Philip K. Dick did a marvelous job of ironically portrayed illicit street drugs as "anti-psychotics" in his short story, "Faith of our Fathers."

We co-evolved with psychedelic plants. They're a tool our ancestors used to enable us. To say "they won't fix the underlying issue," is like saying "a hammer won't build a house."

Technically, true. Heck, you don't even need hammers to build houses, anymore.
The rationale at the time was that Facebook had walled-garden chat, Google had to create a walled garden compete. "Copy Facebook at all costs" was Google's survival strategy during the G+ era.
I think you've got it flipped. A CS/math degree, and/or STEM graduate work, are very strong indicators of generalist skills and exposure to breadth. And graduate work is a strong signal about someone's ability to learn and deal with exploratory/unknown problems. Whereas the things you've listed are actually more specialized.

This certainly doesn't excuse hiring managers from lazily filtering out candidates who don't have these things. But these are strong signals.
Or, just spitballing here, "fall(ing) out of the sky" perhaps.
I don’t think you understand the meaning of that word then. Using a loud leaf blower with complete disregard for those around you is selfish.

One comment to add from someone who _didn't_ lose all his hearing and can still eavesdrop on things. I worked in a plastic factory for ten years. They issued free earplugs and free headphones to wear over the earplugs if you wanted. They trained repeatedly on proper earplug insertion (pull up the top of your ear so your ear canal is straight, insert till flush with pinna, wait for foam to expand). They had a hearing acuity screen every six months and gave everyone a break to go sit in the van.

Expecting young people to make individually good decisions based on advice from old people has limited reach. It's no substitute for a culture and regulations that make hearing protection easy and normative in the contexts where it's most needed. I don't know if we could create that culture for loud music concerts, but it would be a good cause.
The bank, as a corporate entity, posted the disputed code. It doesn't matter that the right hand doesn't know what the left hand did.
Oh, very pretty. Thank you for your work.

I used React for VR/AR, to interweave three.js (objects, assorted cameras and shaders) with assorted DOM trees (left and right eyes, foreground (pixel aligned) and background (high-bandwidth - video and such)). This looks helpful.
I read it that way as well—-words do have secondary and tertiary connotations, and any competent journalist knows how to use composition and careful word choice to more effectively convey a particular narrative.
The email in the video on the site looks too much like a phishing attempt to me.
The whole thing is a set-up:

Small businesses are just as likely to block you negatively advertising about them on their platform as large ones, so Warren showing she’s blocked doesn’t tell us anything about Facebook’s size or practices compared to businesses in general, and thus doesn’t tell us if they’re a problematic monopoly. How many businesses let you use their service to argue against them?

Not even the news, collectively much less individually, accurately reports content on the news — and they’re the ones held forward as examples of a self-policing industry serving society.

The only way to conclude that Facebook abused their position here is if you already believe that; otherwise, it really doesn’t seem like anything unusual happened.

This seems like acting really aggressively, then whining when you get expected and normal pushback: a common bullying tactic from children.
But people that work on FOSS, as owners of the IP they create, are also allowed to put whatever restrictions they want on it; if you don't like those restrictions, don't use it. Pretty simple.
On a project I started last year, I used SHA512 (probably overkill but who cares) and then bcrypt. Allows users to have passwords of arbitrary size with the goodness of bcrypt.

Then AES256 the result and use that. I read somewhere that's what Facebook does.
Yeah google switched hard from promoting interconnectedness to walled garden approach cca 2010. This was in response to Facebook's success and possibility of Facebook overthrowing google as the ad king.

In those days, even Facebook ran an xmpp gateway for their chat.

everything that you must do client-side because of latency, offline and/or device capabilities: do it client side.

everything else should go to the server.

Elastic, it seems to me, is the not-at-all rare company who is truly committed to using “open source” as a marketing gimmick and tool to recruit free labor, and like most such companies resents being reduced to itself playing the role it envisions for FOSS community members by a bigger fish.

I haven’t seen any evidence that the two Max crashes are related. The first one was the result of Lion Air flying a plane that was not airworthy because its AOA sensor was known to be faulty.

There is no information about the cause of the second crash as of yet. You’re making a claim about the purported alignment of Boeing, the FAA, and the “American media/industrial complex” (whatever that is) but I’m not aware that there is such a thing. What do you know that the rest of us don’t?
I couldn't care less about NSFW stuff, because I work at home. But I do get the concern.

What I don't get is the whole "Consider following" thing. But then, I don't use Keybase as social media, per se.

About the suspected pedophile network, you'd think that they'd be more discreet.
The lesson here is NOT the data they are giving out in meat world public, it's the data on the public internet.

Think you can write a blog post on general purpose indexing with Elasticsearch?

I am glad I found Trader Joe’s. Never have I ever been excited about a trip to super market. It rivals Costco too (in food section). Before that, I took weekly trips to Aldi/Lidl for a year, and few of their products’ quality is quite low in my opinion, and not everything is cheap.
I was always under the impression nginx was keeping rather basic stuff(like downstream status) out of core so they could sell plus and that the community deserved a better defacto server.. Maybe this will be the catalyst?
I'm 29 and have mild tinnitus. In my case, I'm fortunate that it's only noticeable in a nearly silent room. Even a fan is enough to make it disappear.

That said, it's still scared me. I'm convinced it came from years of listening to music loudly on headphones. I discovered quality headphones as a teenager, probably when I was 16 or so, and remember being blown away by the fidelity of the sound.

Late last year I decided to invest in a more expensive speaker setup for my home PC, and I've tried to commit myself to using it over headphones and only at a reasonable volume. The latter I find is self-enforced easily by my being in an apartment complex. I went with the Audioengine A5+ speakers and their associated subwoofer. Combined, it was more than twice what I'd paid for headphones in the past, but overall I've been extremely impressed. The speakers produce a clarity that is similar to what I'm used to with headphones, and they're actually much better at producing a wide sound stage.
Runnit – Make Terminal Shortcuts
Amazon is forcing elastic to make money from their hosted offering, instead of their proprietary x-pack modules. Professional Services don’t scale as software do (compare AWS with Rackspace) - so I’m ignoring that income stream for now. Basically, they are trying to force Elastic into the AWS red ocean. Elastic, in response, would have to make a technology leap in order to best solve their customers problems. Examples include: Integrated data prediction, anomaly detections, clustering (online machine learning). Seamless multi region cluster deployment (with some consistency guarantee)...

>Amazon should pay money to the people who create the open source. Not necessarily because a license compels them to, but because it's the right thing to do. If they don't, then the ecosystem collapses.

Elasticsearch is built on top of Lucene. When Elastic received triple digit millions in VC funding, did they pay the Lucene developers? They're not even Apache Foundation sponsors, as best as I can tell.

>Amazon makes lots of money off of EC2 instances. They could easily throw a few million a year into paying kernel developers. But will they?

Amazon contributes back to the Linux kernel. How much contribution is needed to make it "right"? How do we determine it? Does Amazon need to employ them directly, or sponsor projects? What about their Platinum sponsorship of the Apache Foundation?
While somewhat better than plaintext, SHA-256 is far too easy/fast to slow down dictionary attacks.

Practically speaking, the best practice is to use a previously vetted library that provides high-level password storage solutions based on the recommendations below. Developers should not be reinventing the wheel to solve these problems for each job.

Having said that, here are the main factors:

- Choose a function that's designed to be slow to compute (and preferably that can't be easily optimized by throwing memory at the problem). Bcrypt, scrypt, and pbkdf2 are the most common solutions. Argon2 was the winning candidate of the 2013 - 2015 password hashing competition and is gradually starting to appear in more places.

- In addition to choosing the right function, hashes should be salted with a random value (that's stored with the hash) to prevent pre-computation and attacking multiple hashes in parallel.
Those projects were initiated by Yahoo, but the designs are taken directly from Google papers. Hadoop (HDFS and Map/Reduce) was based on the GFS and Map/Reduce papers. ZooKeeper was based on the Chubby paper.
This is a very short-sighted interpretation of the "break up Facebook & co." campaign. It is not about Facebook per se, but about the surprising power of tech giants - do you use Google? How about the internet?

Don't think this is a real issue? How about looking at some of the other "real" problems she's addressed in her platform before outright dismissal? The kind of impulsive, single-issue voting you're implicitly advocating for here is exactly what the country does not need.
Looks like that outsourced software didn't meet the requirements after all.
>> A total of 2,000 persons were interviewed to explore Americans’ use of digital platforms and new media. From January 4, 2018 to February 11, 2018, telephone interviews were conducted with respondents age 12 and older who were selected via Random Digit Dial (RDD) sampling for both cell phones and landlines.

That's it? 2,000 people surveyed? I actually don't doubt the conclusions, but given the shoddy website, old publication date, and duplicative pieces with negative outlook (https://www.edisonresearch.com/infinite-dial-2019/ and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19322448), this seems like the work of someone with an ulterior motive.

Several lines of micro controllers include primitive "GPUs" to give hardware acceleration to the operations usually required for LCD interfaces. The capabilities aren't necessarily 3D rasterizers, but do make it a lot easier to draw interfaces, interface cameras, etc. Take a look at the graphics cores on some of the higher end STM32 parts. Certainly sprite drawing would be quite faster, not sure how much else could be accelerated with this type of core.
Esp8266 costs dollar and half, shipping from China included. The main reason for its popularity is the ultralow price, nobody is going to be bolting on expensive addons to it.

If you want better performance, just buy esp32 for 6 dollars shipped - it has dual cpu, increased speed and many other improvements.

> Some of the most outspoken skeptics of privacy protections in her class — the ones who once suggested that they didn't need privacy because they had nothing to hide — were stunned at how quickly they'd found out details of the lives of strangers who happened to cross their paths.

I don't think I understand this.

A person says they don't need privacy because "they have nothing to hide". Then they are shown how easy it is to track / identify someone. Why should it affect their views on privacy? After all, they claim not to care about being tracked or identified in the first place.
Grounding the fleet causes disruptions, cancelled and delayed flights, etc. The direct costs may be paid by the airline, but it's not free from the passenger perspective either. People who have places to be also have "priceless" lives.
