> I don't think piracy will come back as streaming becomes more segregated ... How many non-tech people do you know who can mirror a PC or laptop to their TV?

If they already have the streaming apps on their TV, installing the Kodi-app as well isn’t really very hard.

Especially with geo-ip restrictions still abundant, many places in the world plain old piracy is by far the easiest option.

Also: Why would you assume anyone use their PCs to hook up to the TV these days anyway? It’s not the 1990s anymore.
It’s better that we try to reduce false dichotomies and that the author improve the readability of content by using more appropriate tools.
That is certainly how you would do password expiry if you implement it as a true security measure. However, what if you just implement it because you were told 'we need password expiry', either because bosses think it is bad practice or because of regulatory requirements. In that case, you might very well decide to implement 'any difference is fine'. And really, given what we know about password expiry, that is the better approach.

Not having it would be better, but that would be insubordination.

Typical Life of an Indian Software Engineer
I recently closed a bank account I opened purely to take advantage of their decent interest.

After draining both accounts online I then called up to close them, the first question was "Who is your favorite superhero?" I blanked, no idea, I set these accounts up like 2 years ago.

No problem they just set me up some new "security" questions after confirming my name/address/dob.

Suffice to say I'm glad they're not holding any of my money now.

It's obvious to any Lisp person, and very convenient, in some wasys.

A few things usually going on with S-expression representation of XML or HTML encoding in a Lisp:

1. It uses some of the native basic types of Lisp -- the list, the symbol, and the string.

2. The HTML element values that you type in your source and that are displayed to you are generally in the same syntax, since that's how Lisps tend to work with the basic types. (For contrast, you don't type your HTML like `<html><body><p>Hi</p></body></html>` in your source, and then see it in the debugger like `HtmlElement#abcd1234("html", {HtmlElement#c948f447("body", {HtmlElement#e7e7e7e7("p", {HtmlCdata#c8c8c8c8c8("Hi")})})})`.

3. The S-expression printed representation you see in your source can be less verbose than HTML or XML, such as by not needing HTML element end tags. Though you will have to put your HTML CDATA text as quoted string literals.

4. A Lisp person's typical code indenting (supported by the editor), tends to expose the tree/forest structure of HTML conveniently:

(html (head (title "My Page"))
(body (p "First paragraph.")
(blockquote "Don't quote me on that.")
(div (p "Another paragraph.")
(p "Yet another paragraph."))
(p "Hey, it's a paragraph.")))

Note that I probably wouldn't type a huge book this way. I might instead use Markdown or a DSL or alternate reader, such as Scribble or its at-reader, mainly to get TeX-like paragraphs: https://docs.racket-lang.org/scribble/ https://docs.racket-lang.org/scribble/reader-internals.html
YouTube has this problem to an insane degree, some large businesses are run from a single person's long standing Google account and there's no way to give another YouTube account any privileges you might want an employee to have without giving them access to your entire Google account and all attached services including your emails, the ability to locate and wipe your phone, all the photos on your phone via Google photos, your calendar for it's entire history, I could go on.

It's completely insane, and the closest they've gotten to adding anything like this is letting people have comment moderators on live streams, not videos where people have wanted comment moderators from day one, just live streams.

Signing up for a service requires you hand over some personal details. That is friction.

If you want to be a driver, you also need to hand in payment details. More friction.

These things are friction because the user has to make not only an active effort to do them but also it gives them time and reason to reevaluate their decision to download the app. Especially when privacy leaks are happening left and right in SV.

This in sum comes together as a burden for people to even sin up to your service as drivers.

>Your average individual mistakes vengeance for justice.

I think it's far graver than that, sadly: A cacophony of kangaroo courts, all yelling into echo chambers.

Worse, though, is the failure to delineate between an individual's actions and those who have nothing to do with the 'x' thing in question.

More egregiously, as a result of that aforementioned failure, even family members of those "suspected" for 'x' thing are ripe targets for abuse; which is entirely ignoring the premise that the individual in question could ultimately be innocent, in the end[0].

It seems that this group of individuals (en masse) demands its pound of flesh and its going to get it, no matter who it comes from.

I'd say that's far worse than simply mistaking vengeance for justice.

An even better 'at the next party' factoid about avocados is that they're technically monoecious, but practically you need two plants to get good pollination.

Monoecious means they have both male and female flower parts on the same plant ... but interestingly with avocados both bits don't work at the same time.

There's two types of avocado trees, helpfully called type A and type B. Type A is functionally female first, and then (a day or two later) male. Type B is the other way around.

They're one of very few plants to work this way, though I don't imagine it would have confounded early practitioners of agriculture.

I was unable to find references for any of your claims. What kind of "revolving door arrangement"? I looked at all of Apple's top management, and none of them are ex government with the arguable exception of their general counsel who was formerly a judge. As far as I'm aware there's no hard evidence of willing participation in PRISM. Apple denies it - the only link of any kind is a yellow bubble on that famous powerpoint slide, which could just mean they were hacked. And "worked with the government" on one or two things isn't the same as "close links".

I also find your eyebrow-wiggling an egregious rhetorical sin, employed only by those who have nothing more concrete to offer. Do you have anything at all to justify your vague insinuation that all of Silicon Valley is a giant government conspiracy?

It's a sham because of pure logic. Most democracies are based on the principles of the separation of the three major state powers: Legislature, Executive, Judiciary.

The Basic Principles on the Independence of the Judiciary was also adopted by the United Nations, i.e. also by many non-democratic states. https://www.ohchr.org/EN/ProfessionalInterest/Pages/Independ...

Legislature having the right to infer into important judiciary cases, such as shielding someone from prosecution is undemocratic and violating the Principles on the Independence of the Judiciary.

Hence it's a sham in all United Nations countries but Italy.

The separation of powers is an essential element of the Rule of Law, and is enshrined in constitutions.

Typically, no. It's been shown time and time again that people cannot reliably time the market. If they could, with leverage you could become the richest person on the planet in a short time.

You have to understand that if indeed people could in general know that the market was going to crash, then people would have already sold, and the impending crash would already have been priced in.

It follows from that, that the current price essentially is our collective best guess at what the future will bring, including any expectations of recessions. Selling beyond that point means you're seeing something that nobody else does, which either makes you a genius (or lucky), or wrong, and the odds are typically not in your favour.

You can find articles on recession indicators flaring up every month for the past decade. Suppose we had no sense of time, and just a sense of the daily weather to track the seasons. A few warm days in a row may indicate summer has landed, or it's just a normal fluctuation, a few weird days as winter turns to spring. And vice versa with cold days. There'll always be some indicators which may signal something bigger, and it could be just noise, or it could be truly indicative. You don't really know until after the fact. And if you could predict it, then it's likely everyone else could, too, and it'd have already been priced in so trying to time the market tends not to work.

This simplifies things a bit, but unless you're close to retirement (at which point you should reduce your exposure to volatile asset classes like stocks anyway), time in the market beats timing the market. There's lots of interesting articles on this like https://awealthofcommonsense.com/2014/02/worlds-worst-market...)

You're reading in my comment things I didn't actually say. Specifically, I didn't choose Russia as an example of economic or social freedom. I instead argued that Russia tried to go that way, and it didn't end well. And of course, if Russia were an actual example of social and economic freedom, that would go against my whole argument.
Apologies are unnecessary on status pages. You can be sure that they are sorry.
Thanks. Fascinating article.
>Entering the US on a US passport is a breeze.

That isn't too surprising, is it? That would be true for almost every democratic country.

As an EU citizen, I found entering China less scary than the USA. The Chinese officers were almost painfully polite and matter of fact, whereas the TSA officers were borderline rude and threatening. I'd really lover to go for holidays in the USA again, but not anytime soon. Since I don't have a FB, Twitter or IG acc't, I'd probably be denied anyways.

Do most people know what a VPN is?

I'm new to all of that Sonarr/Radarr/Ombi stuff, but I torrented for along long time. It took me some time to set it up, granted I had to make it work with my torrent client and trackers that where already in place.

But before people can start with that they have to inform them self about usenet vs torrent, VPN yes / no and what provider, Plex/Emby or Jellyfin etc. It's a huge time commitment.

Then get it to work on your TV and phone.

I interpret the term (n. hikikomori) differently to the verb (hikikomoru) from which it is derived.

The term (hikikomori): individual instance of the social phenomenon of withdrawing from society and living in persistent isolation.

The verb (hikikomoru): used in reference to a specific (non-persistent) act of staying indoors, without necessarily carrying the broader sociological meaning. Edit: as another comment points out, just staying indoors for a weekend, etc.

This is a pretty weak rebuttal, the MT7621 based board you cite has two MIPS 24k CPUs, straight out of 2005: https://wikidevi.com/wiki/MIPS_24K

All of the MT7621"s speed is from ASICs that accelerate NAT & WPA2, without that silicon external to the CPU, any kind of crypto would slowly chug along.

More competitive offerings like the OrangePi PC Plus ($19) and FriendlyARM boards based on Allwinner chips offer much nore performance for the dollar, but these are literally foriegn IP blocks Allwinner licensed, glued together and sent off to a 45n or 28nm fab to have manufactured. Most of the work Allwinner did for these chips was on a trashcan ready, buggy board support package.

Advertising likes to determine that for us, and people are easily manipulated by it.
They never even tried, though. They may have claimed at some point that they'd do it, but that's a very different matter - they went the "government cronyism" way, and very explicitly so. Again, just compare what Eastern Europe has been achieving, and it's no comparison - even after you account for the fact that Russia did have to face quite a bit of enduring hostility and distrust from Western institutions.

Ask HN: How do you design configuration management solutions?
Hey,

I'm digging around a scalable configuration management solution to make it a skeleton for projects inside my company. A kind of silver bullet for everyone. I know about different tools and automation and stuff, but I really miss a kind of best practices reference.

Whenever I read books or blogs, it only shows oversimplified cases which doesn't apply to real world. I'm looking for a kind of source I can use as a reference to justify the solution I'm choosing (at least for myself). And also save a bit of time on testing and comparing all the things I'm not sure about.

I mean it's really easy to build e.g. ansible playbook to deploy nginx config with variables. Though it doesn't always works as good when we talk about hundreds of services and business demands supporting multiple different versions on different hosts and the playbook isn't that small and pretty. Also topics like configuration versioning, rollbacks and stuff are covered really rare.

Is there any source for best practices in configuration area? (it also might be I'm bad at googling, but didn't find a thing though)
