HTTPS is a mass feature and LE saw a need to make this available for free and with easier deployment and automation. And if implemented with state of the art technology it's a very robust and secure technology.

S/MIME is super niche. Even within the niche of email encryption it's a niche protocol. Also it suffers from loads of security problems and this RFC covers only a small fraction of them (and doesn't do a very good job due to backwards compatibility - it still has a "MUST support" the broken CBC modes).
I'm getting better, thanks.

>as soon as the company is doing ok, you can and should hire an employee to shoulder some of the responsibilities a cofounder

I agree, it's hard to pull off once we get accustomed to being a single founder (survivorship bias?).

I built my company ground up from a former village in India with limited funds. I hired freshers and trained them personally to be developers. They all became good developers, but didn't become good managers (as I didn't train them for it) in-order to form a team which can shoulder responsibility.

Once I got the hang of my company with current set up, I tried to focus more on building better product than to mitigate the risk of loosing company incase something happens to me; Unfortunately it did.

Edit: pull of -> pull off
The effects may be due to irrelevant artifacts:

1.)
Pairs or more of people working on a task may declare themselves to be an organization and call themselves founders earlier than an individual. An individual may be more likely to wait until they have a customer, are near profitability, etc to make that declaration.

2.) The summary says that "investors rarely, if ever, fund startups founded by a solo entrepreneur".

So the observations are confounded with solo founders overcoming this prejudice. This quote also points to a survivor bias in play. IE, solo founders must have higher performance than teams before getting funded, and less of the weak solo founders survive to be observed by the study.

I wouldn't be surprised if the article had a correct conclusion. Though it would be very hard to convincingly show causality short of convincing entrepreneurs to take part in a decades long experiment where they are randomly divided into solo founders and teams (which would be nearly impossible to get a representative sample of founders to agree to).
This reminds me of when I was in Shenzhen's Huaqiangbei area --- it's mostly electronics, but you can find plenty of shops selling only varieties of one type of product.
It could well read like "The Many Benefits of Using Repo Modules"

To me it feels like a misguided attempts to work around the need of having a package manager

Why not simply build your SRPM or DEB package repo for code? Worked like magic for me on four of my past workplaces.

This also works towards building your culture of stable releases instead of non-stop development and hotfixes.

Alcohol Addiction Treatment

Today our new life style makes most of people get addicted to Drug addiction. Drug addiction includes alcohol addiction, tobacco use or many more. Here we first need to know what addiction is actually.
What is Addiction?

Addiction means a person has no control over drug usage and building tolerance to that substance, so that person needs larger does than ever before to get same effects. Generally addition makes person to feel pleasure, so continues abuse them. Drug addiction refers use of any drug that alters mood or body function that is habit- forming. Person once started, pleasurable effect of drugs makes one want to keep reusing, brain actually changes in certain ways that powerful urge to use drugs controls persons’behavior.
Agreed.

90% of stuff I don't know off the top of my head I do like this:

1) connect to a server/repository which already uses that in some form

2) copy/paste relevant parts.

3) add new parts by using existing parts as a reference

4) fill in holes with man page/docs/internet search engine

If I had to start from scratch I'd probably fail the basic syntax with pretty much anything.

The important thing is to know that you forgot implementation details, but know where to look them up.

Yeah, some people lack imagination. I used to make electronic music. I lack imagination. I wasn't good at it. But I had fun doing it nonetheless.
I’m not suggesting prison but some kind of charge, even if it’s a misdemeanor, is needed. Whoever faked the test result needs a record that would hopefully follow them.

Would you rather hire someone who was busted with a small amount of drugs or someone who faked test results for NASA?
Some places, definitely not public healthcare.

I also find hyper-specialist shops in america wherever there is still cheap land enough for it. When I used to live in Buffalo, there were small shops- one specifically for new agey "gypsy" clothing, one for bath soap made in house, one for herbs for witchcraft, one that specialized in stones. I really enjoyed those places and miss them now how I live in NYC (although NYC has its own quirks- big gay ice cream is great!)
7 years wouldn’t exactly be a short term security, and a bespoke loan from one guy to himself isn’t something easily sold enough to be called “cash like”.
I don't care about the fine, but all involved should never be able to practice their profession again. They can start afresh in a new field.
The physical shopping radius for a specialty shop is also a lot larger than a generic store.

If you have the store to find mid-century burnished widgets at, people might regularly come from a hundred or more miles away when they really need just the right sort of widget, and when they do -- if your stock lives up to the hype -- they will tend to be big customers, buying a lot (since they weren't casually dropping in), being fairly price insensitive (since they have few alternatives for what they need), and repeat customers (since you seldom end up needing a specialty item once).

You might still need an online storefront, or you might take phone orders from your regulars, but the clientele of a specialty shop is radically different than the clientele of a generic shop, which relies more on people wandering by and which competes with ten other stores a mile away, and the big box store off the highway.

No, but I am sure the negative reviews would have raised concern before 16 years had passed.
If I went to any of those locations I’d take a picture that looks exactly like that but there is a huge difference - the people in it are me or my close ones. And the people watching my travel pictures are our friends.

People who follow random people on Instagram are the enigma, not that they all take the same photos.
Wonder if Hydro in turn will file criminal charges. They bought the business unit at fault here in 2000[1]. Surely they could hold someone accountable for fraud that way? They thought they bought a business capable of producing quality parts, but didn't end up getting that.

Like the other posters in this thread I feel like the $46m fine shouldn't be the end of this.

> the whole python setup got so messed up that nothing was quite working anymore, both system and conda pythons

This seems like the biggest downside I've seen mentioned thus far. Can you (or anyone) offer more detail as to how using Conda resulted in corrupting your Python installation? It it similar to what can happen with game mods, or is there something else going on?
How could you bring up such a quotation here? What's the "temporary safety"? Not ruining innocent people's lives? I don't get it.
It sounds like this person would have benefited from using Subversion or Perforce. Subversion 1.12 has alpha support for a limited local branch (called Checkpoints).
I’m not a native English speaker so pardon me asking: which parts of the last point did you find condescending?
Just curious because to me, that part actually felt inclusionary.

I think it’s ok to forget syntax and the like as long as you still understand the concepts.

If this guy had to work on a server for a week without any config manager, I’m sure he’d be right back at home.

Opposed to a guy who has never touched iptables. That guy is in it for the long haul.

Maybe a better title is “I forgot the commands(and some directory locations) I use to manager a server.”
People are very tired of the mildest bit of social democrat market intervention being denounced as "communism". Like "Nazi" it's a word that has been overused into uselessness, so it gets reflexively downvoted. Besides, communism in the original sense is realistically dead. The Berlin Wall has been down for almost 30 years. So people complaining about it in the present come across as McCarthyite.

(I think your original comment would have gone down better if it had been clearer about the past tense - that communism did destroy a lot of small businesses, but this is not an ongoing thing)

If you are willing to put some time in configuring your desktop, Slate [1] should do the trick for you.

If delving into yet another application-specific configuration language does't thrill you, then Magnet [2] gives you the baseline i3 functionality out of the box. It only provides shortcuts that allow you to arrange your windows similar with i3. It will not arrange your windows automatically, and its only configuration is changing the shortcuts to your liking.

I use the . (dot) command a lot out of habit. It executes the last command. If the last command was a macro execution, dot doesn't execute the macro - it executes the last command of the macro. Is there a way to fix this?

edit I see someone else answered this - use @@ instead of .
Destruction of $700m property due to negligence certainly seems jailworthy to me. At the very least, this company should be paying a fine which actually recovers the damages.
Not necessarily. With Java IDEs, if you have the sources you can usually modify those and the IDE knows to ignore the package manager dependencies.
With enough cleaning solvents and disinfectants, any object can be made safe again. There are people who dive into literal sewage retention ponds full of human waste in full SCUBA gear every day to work (clearing obstructions). After reading about that, squeamishness was never an issue for me. As long as it isn't some kind of chemical/biological/radiological warfare agent type substance, or a compound that makes chemists run from a room, I'm fine with it now.

That said, I'm absolutely delighted that toilet brushes can be rebristled, and sad that it seems there isn't any place in the US that does this. It irks me that when a brush is retired, a gigantic chunk of plastic heads into the landfill. I have yet to find a low-impact scrubbing solution, and rebristling with some organic-origin bristle that breaks down amending the soil would be ideal. I'd pay 2-3X the cost of a normal throwaway plastic brush to mail in a brush head and get back a rebristled brush head, and wonder if the rebristling could be automated.
Yeah, that's called "pay for delete."
Just to extend this - if you're often using different users (or need to otherwise deploy via a configuration manager), I've found out that a good way of having system-wide options on Debian is /etc/vim/vimrc.local with something like:

" Workaround stupid defaults.vim behaviour
if filereadable("/usr/share/vim/vim80/defaults.vim")
source /usr/share/vim/vim80/defaults.vim
endif
let g:skip_defaults_vim = 1

" Disable stupid seeking to last position
autocmd! vimStartup BufRead

" Disable stupid mouse support
set mouse=
And that's exactly what matters and why I among many others call it a backdoor.

Telnet on the other hand is a service that I can switch off or block with far less work involved in normal circumstances.

To get rid of Intel ME I'd need to use Core-/LibreBoot and install it in a ritual that for a novice has something of a "black magic rite".
It's even worse than that: this is limited to successful Kickstarters. Turns out individuals who can pull off a solo Kickstarter might be a bit more successful overall.
This is what happens when your drops 8% and they move your stock to hold.
> A more unlikely pair to promote such regulation I can't imagine.

And that is your hint that you have misunderstood how the right of politics works, including the extreme right.

There is no lobby that wants to destroy the environment because they don't like it. If someone comes along with a credible threat to people, they act on it.

The issue is that the ozone layer burning away poses a very clear threat to people where the cost of inaction obviously exceeds the cost of dealing with it. Global warming poses a very real threat to the environment and a high likelihood of change. It remains opaque whether the costs of dealing with that change are higher than preventing that change. We can guarantee the academics have no idea on that one economically speaking; their record of forecasting in that arena is just as bad as everyone elses.

Historically, the proposed costs of preventing change have been enormous. And, personal pet peeve, the people advocating that it is an emergency seem to implicitly accept that the cost of nuclear is even higher than the cost of AGW. So it can't be that threatening to them.
The linked DOJ report has far more detail [0]. On the penalties themselves:

According to court documents, SPI has agreed to plead guilty to one count of mail fraud, and SEI has entered into a deferred prosecution agreement (DPA) in connection with a criminal information filed today charging the company with mail fraud. As part of the plea agreement, SPI has agreed to pay $34.1 million in combined restitution to NASA, the Department of Defense’s Missile Defense Agency (MDA), and commercial customers. SPI has also agreed to forfeit $1.8 million in ill-gotten gains. The plea agreement remains subject to acceptance by the court at a plea hearing currently scheduled for May 13, 2019, before U.S. District Judge Liam O’Grady. The DPA with SEI is conditioned on the court’s acceptance and SPI’s satisfaction of the plea agreement’s terms.

SPI also agreed to pay $34.6 million as part of a related civil settlement to resolve its liability under the False Claims Act for causing a government contractor to invoice MDA and NASA for aluminum extrusions that did not comply with contract specifications. Government contractors purchased aluminum extrusions for use on rockets for NASA and missiles provided to the MDA. Under the terms of the civil settlement agreement, SPI will satisfy the $34.6 million settlement through credits totaling $23.6 million for its restitution payments as part of the criminal plea agreement, plus additional payments of $6 million to NASA and $5 million to the MDA.

I think this is exactly it - these stores are now perfect fusion of small online store and small offline store. If you order something online the owner picks it off the shelf and puts it in an envelope - and the online shop can drive traffic to the physical one.
@@ repeats the last macro
Sigh. This study is useless.

They have two sources of data, publicly available data (which they say has major censoring problems) and kickstarter projects.

People will incorporate at the point that they believe it is worthwhile to incorporate. This is basically a tautology, but just think about it. When would a solo founder incorporate? When the benefit of incorporation makes it worth the time to do it. This might be when they are taking investment, when they have customers and need to limit their liability, or when they are making profits and want tax benefits. What about pair founders? In many cases on the first day, but often very early on because it is necessary to legally establish their ownership stake in the company. So you are selecting solo founders who have a functioning business and pair founders at every stage. I think most ventures probably fail with zero revenue and virtually zero customers and/or users.

Kickstarter won't be representative of anything, even in their wildest dreams.
Tether is basically a one way ratchet to keep money in the crypto system. You can trade Tether for USD on various exchanges but actually selling Tether back to Tether itself, which would reduce the market cap, is restricted heavily. The result is that if you trade Tether to someone else on Kraken for USD or BTC, the Tether market cap remains unchanged, which I suspect was the point.
There's a bit of longer-term reputation damage which is significant in an industry dominated by companies who tend to think over the span of decades rather than quarters.

One fairly big serviced offices company pulled the "separate entities" trick in one of the previous recessions, and some of the major landlords in that country still to this day, more than a decade later, refuse to do business with them.
>S/MIME is super niche. Even within the niche of email encryption it's a niche protocol

Compared to what, PGP? As far as I know, S/MIME has the most prevalent support out of the box in email software.
I probably write fewer class definitions than most developers, and write more functions. Avoid global data. Not functional, but I like to write small libraries.
> someone has to go first

but that's the point, European countries have done a lot and the only result was most pollution intensive production was pushed abroad while destroying local productions chains, the lower classes and raising the cost of living to the point the middle class is unable to build the saving to promote healthy growth, meanwhile the planet is still as fucked as it were
>the comment came from a candidate that wanted to research his interviewer as preparation for the interview

That's weird as well, I would never research the interviewer (as well as I never got to know the interviewer prior the interview) but instead abouth the company, business, technologies and things like that.

About practice and learning you don't have to have a website, there are many ways to keep your memories and skills up to date.
I only skimmed the article, but couldn’t find a price estimate.
it's really hard to push onto employees as it's hard to determine if they were acting on their own or being pressured into doing such things. (as even acting on one's own can be motivated by unhealthy stress or such things which can be outside of their control / responsibility.)

that being said, for the incurred loss, 46 million is tiny.
These benefits do exist, but drawbacks still exist too. The "constantly updating, constantly recompiling" problem can get pretty bad when there are many developers. Developers either lose time recompiling more than they should need to, or keep working in out-of-date trees and dealing with trickier merges. Multiply by the number of developers in a large org, and that can be a lot of lost productivity.

The thing I don't see discussed often enough, in all of the "monorepos are good/bad" debates, is that they require a certain discipline. When one commit can span multiple components, it's easy to add or ignore bad coupling between those components. That contributes to the rebuild treadmill for everyone, and is bad design in a bunch of other ways as well. IDEs make it worse, because they obscure the boundaries between components, but everyone ends up using an IDE because their predecessors made it very difficult to follow the flow of control across components otherwise. So you end up with one big ball of mud. With separate repos this is discouraged, because violating the rules of good design causes immediate pain. With a monorepo the pain must come in the form of stronger reviews, to discourage bad coupling even though it's easy. Unfortunately, the very same companies that have embraced monorepos have also abandoned separation of concerns as a design principle. :(

ETA: please read bunderbunder's comment (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19796960) as well. It's an insightful take on some of the same issues.
The Do-Not-Track Act of 2019
It can work either way. There are pros can cons to both ways, code organization needs to be done correctly either way. Nothing about either ensures your code is a good modular structure vs a haphazard mess. In most cases code in fact has a modular structure behind it that is followed - but the structure is not always good (something that is easy to see in hindsight, but the wrong rules were put in place early and now it is hard to change)

Mono repo makes violation of modular rules easier, just link it in - in a complex project odds are nobody will notice. However this doesn't mean monorepo is bad, it just needs that you need to be careful to ensure the rules are written down.

Multi-repo makes violation of those same rules harder - you have to make a bunch of changes to ensure that the bad dependency is in the environment. This hints at the downside of multi-repo: you need to have some sort of dependency management system to ensure that the right version is there when you build.
