> In the flex environment you can inject secrets at container build time.

Does it mean your secrets are stored in plain text in the container image?

> In App Engine standard I've used a deploy wrapper around ansible vault to do it.

What does the deploy wrapper do? Does it produces an app.yaml file with the secrets injected in it, after having been decrypted by Ansible Vault?
>They're trying to keep you on google's site.

But why? I don't see a financial motivator here, unless there is some long-game that I'm not aware of. In theory, driving users to websites in a search result is likely just going to make Google more money from displaying ads.

The only thing I can currently think of is they actually are trying to improve the user experience.
Having worked at the BBC several times it’s yet again insular thinking.
In short, they’ve spend a load of (wasted cash) on a proprietary app that is useless, but some “strategy” dork - who’s never actually built anything - thinks he can get Google to change.
Good luck with that.
Considering the number of times I've seen a developer quickly patch something and deploy their private build to the customer (not maliciously, but because the customer is screaming and needs it right now and wouldn't wait for normal QA process), I don't think it would be terribly difficult for the compromised developer to create a malicious binary outside of the committed codebase.
oh yes they are investor-like questions.

And rightfully so.

Employee is investing time in effort and receives compensation and equity in case of startups. If equity is non-zero, then obviously employee will ask the same questions an investor would.

Salaries in startups are lower than in most corporations - the difference is what employee might consider to be their cost of investing in the company.
"Many of us would gladly take advantage of a free computer tune-up from a big-name retailer. We wouldn’t suspect the tune-up might be a tech support scam."

Funny, that's precisely what I would suspect it was.
I listen to all the BBCs podcasts through the Apple Podcasts app. Is there something that stops the Beeb getting meaningful statistics when it it is played via Google, but allow it to get those statistics when played via Podcasts.app

I find this story quite confusing.
I am planning on looking into more reference material eventually, but I prefer to do that after reading tutorials and writing code, as a way to answer the questions that I have.

And yes, the lack of a spec is a weakness in Rust. We've been working on it for a while, and are gonna push it even harder this year.

> Without spec you cannot even tell compiler bugs from intended behaviour.

So this is true, but it's also a bit more subtle than that. For example, "there should be no undefined behavior in safe Rust" is a design principle that, while we don't have a spec, can say if something is a bug or not. (And we do have a few of those bugs.) This is, of course, not as good as a full spec, but guiding principles can really help.
Some podcasts are exclusive to BBC sounds for a time limited period.
Well, we at HN got some good discourse out of it, no?
Youth unemployment explained in a quote:

I don’t think stoicism is related to those things. Those sound like nice meditative things to do, which are compatible with a wide range of different philosophical schools of thought, but none of that sounds like it is actively connected to the defining characteristics of stoicism.
There may not be enough elevator authority in a severely out of trim configuration. However the trim switches can be used to correct that, or failing that the electric trim system can be switched off and the trim wheels can be turned manually to bring the aircraft back into trim.
Disclaimer: I did not vote for Trump (I feel the internet needs to know before they down vote me)

It makes sense that an anti-Semitic individual would act out if they believed that the president was also anti-Semitic. But I really think it’s who the individual believes the president is that drives the action and that belief is influenced by articles like this and the president’s public actions. I personally don’t think the president’s actions point toward anti-semitism.

If every article an individual reads about Trump mentions some radical ideal that Trump supports (whether or not he actually does), then we’re going to see radical people who agree with those ideals.

I do think that anti-semitism is on the rise just like racism and political bifurcation. But I think it’s more complicated than: Trump said the Mexicans are taking out jobs.
That's what I'd like to know too. Is this a first step to going proprietary-app-only? I hope not, and it probably doesn't mean that because at least with RSS the BBC still get some user metrics, such as location based on your IP address. Also removing RSS feeds would remove the podcasts from Apple's itunes, which is generally recognised as the biggest discovery platform for podcasts. But who knows?
Are you advocating for Facebook being legally barred from banning any content on their platform that isn't explicitly illegal? That's the only alternative I can think of.
Could you reasonably argue that you can’t implement this feature without your boss finding out?

Let’s say I work at a place that requires mandatory peer code review. I won’t be able to slip something by my (non Australian) reviewer. Surely I could reasonably argue that the government’s request to insert a backdoor without telling anyone is impossible to comply with. How would the government be able to verify my claim that that’s the case?

This is put out by the Heritage Foundation. You may want to read up on their ideologies before deciding that a rating of "good" from them is something you actually want to achieve.

For example, their affiliations are: Republican Party, Thatcherism, Reaganomics.

Even a broken clock is right twice a day (as the saying goes), but I'm not sure I'd really strongly rely on their policy ideas.
>> It is possible that the engineers did an excellent work, but didn't question the specs they had.

The reason I find that scenario hard to believe is that MCAS very existence is to correct a design problem inherent in the plane. A safety problem - the plane is not safe without MCAS or at least without new training which they wanted to avoid.
They'll just add another user agent check.
I really like the BBC Sounds app, I know it holds a selection of high quality content that I like, as opposed to a firehose of any old thing like google et al.
That doesn't sound like a genderless voice. It sounds like a mix of gendered voices. You move the pitch up and down to make it sound more "male" or "female", and it's supposed to sound "genderless" when it has an equal mix of both. You can clearly hear the different voice strands superimposed on each other, like a sort of chorus.

In any case, a blend of male and female is still just a blend of male and female. Genderless should stand for something that is neither male nor female, and I can't really see how you can achieve that by mixing male and female in any proportions.

Can anybody speak to why some of these "deceptive claims" settlements end up as a settlement with the FTC, which collects and disperses the funds in the form of refunds, while others end up as a class action settlement, where some private party sues on behalf of a class?

In a standard class action lawsuit, the lawyers for the plaintiff (if successful) get a pretty nice cut of the settlement, and the remainder is dispersed to class members.

But if the settlement is with the FTC, does it get its own cut, or does the entire settlement amount go out to class members?
I've built one of these types of systems without a lot of that technology stack. I have my own dashboard, use in-process HSQLDB for the back end, and have a deployment process build around uberjars, shell scripts, and init scripts.

There are reasons I made the choices I did, and I think they still make sense, but there's been enough of various sorts of implementation pain that I am absolutely sympathetic to the idea that this person used some off the shelf software.

You should probably be more aware of your target's constraints and goals before you start questioning the means they used to achieve them.
So does that mean you also support 3.5” screens? If you want to support older devices that can’t run iOS 12 but have the same screen size as a supported device then you limit support to the 5 and the poorly selling 5c.

How far down the rabbit hole do you want to go? The 4s? The 4? The 3GS? The 3G? The original iphone?
Funny, I see the exact opposite. People dismissing WASM as unecessary, or just another Java, or just another Flash, or just another Node.js, or something that shouldn't exist outside of the browser.

If it didn't have "web" in the name, I think people would hate it a lot less.
Funny how trends work, Ada is popping up in mainstream places (considering HN mainstream somehow, also reddit) recently.
Sure, but I was more responding to your post above saying "I decide when and what I do with my body and what that makes me. No stranger’s perception nor insistence can change that." The perception of others does affect a persons categorization. Humans also categorize based on stereotypical behavior of things within a category, eg. lisp and swaying gate in gay men, long hair and lowered muscle mass in women, etc. These are all stereotypes that are found in a higher density within those categories, and often people within those categories change their behavior to align more with those categories(women intentionally growing hair out and wearing makeup) to accent category projection and improve accurate category interpretation in others(that is a woman). In this way, stereotypes aren't always prejudicial, it's more of the rigidity of the category interpretation that makes something bad, such as saying all men with lisps are gay, which is wrong.

I know this is quite a bit, but the main point I'm trying to make is that there is nuance in this conversation. Categorizations aren't always evil(though they can be), and are important social signals in our society.
Hi,

> my background in quantum computing caught back up to me,

I would be curious on that part. Could you describe the process what happened there? Internal skill screening program? Did you jump projects?

Thanks!
As implemented in the current US economy, those price signals are also suppressed through collusion, cronyism, and near monopolies so it's not an exclusive issue of socialism implementations.

Many markets are stagnant and do not offer healthy competition. There's a fair share of markets that still offer healthy competition, but from my perspective, it seems like the end goal of market optimization almost inevitably leads to monopolization which always leads to stagnation.

True competition and an informed/economically conscious consumer market are key requirements to this signaling process. We don't have a lot of either in many markets.
Cisco have a loong history of things like the. I mean go back to 2005 when they actually sent people to a security conference to rip pages out of the handouts that mentioned a security vulnerability in their products (https://www.computerworld.com/article/2482483/cisco-s-blunde...)

That (and other bad security responses) have not really hurt them, so at this stage, this won't make a lot of difference, I'd expect.

One feature of floppy disks is that the recording technology and the format is independent from the physical medium, the limitations are mostly imposed by the disk drive, the encoding and the file system, not the medium itself.

Well, this "feature" creates significant compatibility issues as all the vendors created their own proprietary formats, sometimes with patents. As a result, together with the economics of scale, often, the standard format is not the best design, a simpler design that serves as the lowest common denominator.

On the other hand, due to this feature, it was already possible to store 1,760 KB of data on a 3-1/2 inch HD floppy on a 1986 Amiga. And in 2000, it was possible to store 32 MiB of data on a standard 1.44 MB floppy disk, by using a SuperDisk LS-240 drive (although random write is sacrificed, the entire floppy must be rewritten if a change is needed, like CD-RWs).

I believe the advancements in magnetic recording technology in the past 20 years allows one to achieve even higher capacity on a standard floppy, and it can be as cheap as early floppy drives if mass produced, only that it doesn't make sense to do so.

Can you imagine what would happen if there was a public case where a person got 5 years for letting the world know that the Australian government tried to force them to backdoor software? You don't really even need proof, because if he's sent to prison then his claim is true.

Right now the risk from Australia is theoretical. After that there could actually be bans from other governments about using software made in Australia.
Inflation is a tax on wealth. Deflation is a tax on income.

With inflation those who get a 2% pay raise stay where they are and those who have wealth lose some and are incentivized to turn it into income which eventually becomes a pay raise.

With deflation people are incentivized to turn their income into wealth which means less pay raises. Meanwhile those who have wealth gain some without doing anything.

It is a bit disengenuous to imply that an F-15 is a "missile truck" that can go mach 2+.

There is no way it will be going anywhere near mach 2 with double rails carrying AIM-120s, let alone 20 of the missiles in total.

Of course it is, provided “white nationalism” means “white nationalism” and “racism” means “racism”. The problem, of course, is that lots of people use these terms to refer to moderate political views in a sort of motte and bailey equivocation.

You're just talking about the downs though. No one needs stoicism to weather the ups of life. The rich are just jerking themselves off. Probably because they have some subconscious insecurity over the lack of suffering in their lives.

All aircraft with underslung engines want to pitch up when accelerating. That's just physics. MCAS is there to counter pitch up at high angles of attack, caused by the aerodynamic characteristics of the larger, more forward engine nacelles.

Noticed that too. I think the trend for excessive apostrophes can’t be stopped.
TL;DR:

Because I think it’s important that we mingle some Voltaire in with our Seneca, and remember that stoicism’s invaluable advice for taking better care of ourselves inside can–if we fail to mix it with other ideas–come with a big blind spot regarding the world outside ourselves, and whether we should change it.
Same. The real problem in my mind is the paradoxical complete inability to learn new skills that are suitable for the workplace and instead a complete reliance on the training they received in their programs...sometimes decades old.

Considering a PhD is supposed to provide skills for learning and tackling problems, the incredibly high percentage of PhDs I've worked with that are completely unable to do so has really really put me off of the credential.

Technically speaking the way Podcasts work is a fascinating thing.

Most on HN May be familiar with this already but Podcasts are completely open and a creator simply publishes an RSS that they then provide to a podcast App such as iTunes so it can appear on the Apple podcast app. In exchange most of these podcast apps share any listen counts and analytics with the owner of the Podcast. However, almost always the files are hosted by the owner so the plays could also likely be counted that way. Even the artwork and everything is provided with this RSS that is completely open.

More and more platforms are popping up creating “exclusive” podcasts and trying to close the ecosystem down. Not sure if that’s what is happening here, it’s unclear from the article, but just think Podcasts are one of those last few technically open things on the internet and that’s great.

They are so open in fact I was planning on adding them to my audio App I’ve been building which lets people listen to any article right now. The more this closes up the less of an opportunity for people to create useful things and for people to find new ways to stay informed.

Here is the failure mode, aptly summarized by someone who knew. You can weaponize any faith or metaphysic this way; some are more obvious than others.

As a personal way of thinking about your own circumstances, it’s fine as far as it goes. As a social ethic for how it’s OK to organize a society, it can quickly descend into something that, well:

For my part, I would say, welcome infidelity! welcome atheism! welcome anything! in preference to the gospel, as preached by those Divines!

They convert the very name of religion into an engine of tyranny, and barbarous cruelty, and serve to confirm more infidels, in this age, than all the infidel writings of Thomas Paine, Voltaire, and Bolingbroke, put together, have done!

These ministers make religion a cold and flinty-hearted thing, having neither principles of right action, nor bowels of compassion. They strip the love of God of its beauty, and leave the throng of religion a huge, horrible, repulsive form.

It is a religion for oppressors, tyrants, man-stealers, and thugs. It is not that “pure and undefiled religion” which is from above, and which is “first pure, then peaceable, easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.”

But a religion which favors the rich against the poor; which exalts the proud above the humble; which divides mankind into two classes, tyrants and slaves; which says to the man in chains, stay there; and to the oppressor, oppress on; it is a religion which may be professed and enjoyed by all the robbers and enslavers of mankind; it makes God a respecter of persons, denies his fatherhood of the race, and tramples in the dust the great truth of the brotherhood of man.

New parent here. The sleep deprivation thing is real. There were moments early on where I would lay on the couch hoping to get a quick 15 minutes in and almost as soon as I closed my eyes I would have dreams.

The interesting part for me, is that as soon as I realized these were crazy and not reality, I would instantly zap myself awake. It made things incredibly difficult and I would have to close my eyes with the intention of not trying to detect if what I was thinking about was real.
Me too. And this is why it sort of rubs me the wrong way when people building chat apps call themselves engineers.
The thing is, generally, they iterate quickly and it becomes less crappy over time. This has happened with lots of their products. Everytime the News frontpage got changed everyone lost their shit, however if you look back now at the older designs you see it was a falacy holding on to them. I'm not saying Sounds is perfect (there's been some vitriol), but it wouldn't be out of the ordinary if it improved based on feedback.
