Index funds and the institutional firms that solicit them (Blackrock, Vanguard) aren't designed to be activist investors. Their role is to simply track a basket of stocks. This is a deficiency in passive investing. When management drops the ball (such as what GE did, not just in nat gas generation forecasting, but also how poorly Welch [1] and Immelt [2] managed the firm), there are fewer checks and balances until the value is already gone.

> I mean it's not as if arrays in C are bounds checked anyway, so how would that have helped implement strings any better?

I've written an awful lot of C code, and I have much experience with the D way which uses arrays instead of null termination.

When I review a section of code consisting of strlen/strcat/strcpy/etc. I routinely find bugs in it, always centered around a mistake with the 0 termination.

When the array bounds are available, the compiler can optionally insert array bounds checks.

As for getting it for free, avoiding doing the strlen()'s is a big time saver.

I wonder if the jamming problem could be solved by having a satellite relay communication to the jet via a laser beam, assuming the receiver on the jet can be tracked precisely. Perhaps also having redundant communication relay links from nearby jets. That would be harder to jam, right? Adversarial attacks could happen, but given enough diversity in sensors and algorithms I think it could be made reasonably robust.

I mean, the benefits of a pilotless fighter jet are pretty significant: more maneuverable, faster, easier to design, and probably cheaper. I'm especially curious about fighter pilots' opinions about this.

My company pays me handsomely for working - in part - on Open Source projects.

It's kind of the reverse of what's described here, I do not live off donations to the project, instead I "donate" some of my paid time to the Open Source project... That way my company, the Open Source projects, and myself benefit.

What I do benefits other users of those projects and we benefit from other contributions.

Open Source is about sharing ideas and code, not about living off a project. IMHO at least.

Not him, but I am puertorican. There's nothing unusual in someone being unable to take care of their home, it happens with some frequency. By the same token, it should not be surprising that several nations fit this bill. I would probably toss most of the southern hemisphere in that bin, Puerto Rico included.

I tried this thought experiment once: imagine the people of the wealthy global north just disappeared today. Does this mean the problems of the global south are fixed? The answer to this is self-evidently 'no', at least to me. It's useless to ruminate on the past, it is not the global north that create and maintain our current situation. It's ok to admit that it's us that haven't put in a good performance.
In the US owning a gun is a protected right, just like voting. It has been ruled illegal to levy a tax on voting as that would place a hurdle on the poor (and thus minorities who are disproportionately poor) and effectively deprive them of their rights.

Poll taxes are seen as an explicitly racist policy, yet the National Firearms Act somehow is not despite serving the same outcome. Same goes for the myriad of fees associated with carry licenses, fingerprinting, mandatory training, etc. And left-wing politicians are actively calling to increase these with the express purpose of making it more difficult to acquire firearms... the hypocrisy being that this disenfranchisement would hit the underprivileged the hardest.

That's just the economic angle. When it comes to enforcement, prohibitions on stock/grip configurations, barrel lengths, magazine sizes, pistol models, and public possession will always fall hardest on those who have the most contact with law enforcement... which again is minorities and the poor. These are infringements on everybody's rights, but they are most likely to result in legal consequences for people who tend to get stopped and frisked, or have their cars searched at a traffic stop over an imaginary weed smell.

Getting fast food distribution I would consider diversification. Fountain drinks are enough of their own beast to warrant calling it a new product. But then again, their brand is around purity, and being on a fountain requires using whatever the local water source is. They can't just throw carbonation into generic CO2 carbonation and call it good.

The problem with increasing distribution and marketing is that it's way easier said than done, and there is no guarantee you can keep up with the other players. Bubly is eating their lunch right now in distribution. They would have to dump enormous resources go keep up.

If they want to keep growing, they need to either leverage the distribution they do have now and add additional products. Or they need to find ways to get their existing brand loyalists to consume more. Or they can be happy with their current market share.
Where has it been stated that Assange is being extradited for publishing the 'Collateral Murder' video? So far the only charges I've seen were for his assistance to Manning in cracking a password for an entirely different leak.[1] I suppose one could argue that charges are a pretext, but the diplomatic cable leak was by far more damaging to US interests than the leaked video so that doesn't really make any sense. The only reason I can think of to argue that this is really about 'Collateral Murder' is that it makes the US Government look worse to some people. I'm open to evidence to the contrary, but I haven't seen it.

Have you tried customizing the UI? Last time I tried out-of-the-box Firefox it disgusted me pretty quickly due to how Chrome-like it was, but that's because I never liked the default Chrome UI. In any case I bring up customization since while I've never left Firefox, their last good out-of-the-box UI was like Firefox 1.4 or maybe 2. Firefox is incredibly customizable though (even if less so now) and so it looks and feels how I prefer which no other browser duplicates out of the box (not even Firefox) and no other browser even makes possible. I guess I'm a "power user" for wanting to fit the tool to my hands rather than my hands to the tool, and Firefox is the only browser that spares a thought for me.

With commercial/proprietary products, value is usually created by establishing a win-win situation: You as a customer buy something, because its value is above the price you pay for it. Pricing then essentially is about finding out what customers believe the value actually is. As long as this works, this is not a net zero, but a real win for both sides.

It appears to me as if open source tends to break this mechanism. The "customer" gets something that benefits them enormously. Meanwhile the project developers and maintainers sometimes struggle to make a living or earn amounts that seem to be out of touch with what one could earn in a comparable proprietary model. This is how it becomes a win-lose.

With certain open-source licenses, there's also a lack of incentive for giving back. Companies can often simply build proprietary solutions on top of the work of others without ever returning any reward (be it in the form of money or contributions).

It would really be great if there was a way to get the best of both worlds. I am afraid a lot of open-source software will not be produced anymore if the model isn't sustainable for developers and maintainers.

Just doing it for fun is surely feasible for some projects, but the bigger ones need full attention I'm afraid which they can't get without proper funding.
> My preferred texting app is Signal, but the barrier to get iPhone users in the US to switch is still too high.

One nice feature of Signal on Android is the ability to let it become the SMS/MMS default application. This lets normal texts go through and automatically switches to Signal E2E encryption when your counterparty is also on Signal.

Is this feature possible on iOS? As in, could Signal become the default SMS/MMS app on an iPhone, leaving only iMessage to the system app?

Ask HN: Kubernetes and Ingress/Certificates Limits
Hi all. Not sure if this is the best place to ask this but it's worth trying. I am working on an app that allows users to add custom domains. So the idea is that when a user adds a custom domain to their account, the apps makes a call to the kubernetes API and creates an ingress; cert-manager then issues the certificate for that domain. As per the title, is there a limit to the number of ingresses or even certificates that kubernetes can handle? If yes what is that limit / what determines it? How to scale in this case? Thanks in advance for your help.
I don't quite think you understand the point of a support role. People who support me do a lot of innovation, fixing what isn't broken, and all of that. Most are highly empowered and I expect a few to take serious leadership roles in the organization, depending on seniority.

The primary question is one of purpose: someone in a support role is hired to keep me effective and productive, and evaluated on their ability to do so. I am their customer. If I win, they win.

The goal of IT isn't good systems architecture or innovation -- it's me. Supporting me well often requires good systems architecture and innovation. It also requires compromising those at times to my goals, having clean transition strategies, and similar choices as well. Those decisions are made based on their impact on me.
This is an excellent phrase I should remember.

It makes me wonder if regulators should have substitutes in mind before making public policy descriptions. Or if they should continue to rely on markets to "find a way".
This is also the case in US. Contract formation requires that the signing party has an opportunity to read the contract. If the contract is subject to litigation and the signing party can show they did not have an opportunity to read it, the contract will be thrown out. It is especially frowned upon to misrepresent the contract ("Don't worry, it's just some routine boilerplate") and not provide a copy before the person signs it.

I think you are being carried away by things I didn’t say.

I don’t think communism under the USSR was better than any law abiding capitalist society. In fact it was objectively worst. But what happened in Russia in the 90s was brutal, reducing lifespans of the average Russian and bringing back poverty that I don’t believe was at all common in the 1980s USSR. It was unfettered Capitalism with no regard for the rule of law, and privatisation was placed above everything including legal and political precepts. The result was a dystopian nightmare that led to Russians accepting autocracy under Putin as a viable alternative. And it was all done under the aegis of American Economist who were sent over to “help”.

"Swartz accessed a system he did not have permission to access. He did so by entering a restricted area he did not have permission to access."

These two sentences appear incorrect. I can simply refer you to Wikipedia, where it states that he accessed "JSTOR using a guest user account issued to him by MIT."

If Wikipedia is wrong, please correct them. Certainly, if you know facts about this case that Wikipedia is getting wrong, then the whole world would benefit by the modification.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aaron_Swartz

"Swartz was never going to get anywhere remotely near 35 years and people need to stop spouting this nonsense as it makes them look completely ignorant of every single fact in the case."

Incorrect and inflammatory; again, a simple check of Wikipedia suggests that you don't have your facts right.

From Wikipedia: "Federal prosecutors later charged him with two counts of wire fraud and eleven violations of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, carrying a cumulative maximum penalty of $1 million in fines, 35 years in prison, asset forfeiture, restitution, and supervised release."

Again, if you know something that Wikipedia doesn't, please update them; however, it certainly doesn't make ANY sense to say that others are "spouting nonsense" simply because they've received what may be incorrect information from a source like Wikipedia.

You are using IT as synonymous with Support/Helpdesk. Do you have an enterprise architect, do they report to the CIO? Maybe its the COO? Do you not consider systems architecture a part of your IT department?

I absolutely think you are wrong that innovating is derived from your needs, a technology group driving innovation could just as well include obsoleting you. An IT department can bring new business ideas to a leadership team, and arguably their leader is a part of that leadership team, at least until every c-suite person is tech savvy enough to obsolete the CIO position.
>I think it's important to distinguish between journalists who work in dangerous zones and get killed by accident vs intentional killings, usually to suppress the press.

That's 64% and I imagine the remaining unconfirmed motive ones are a similar percentage.

Even if it was 1%, that is 1% too many.
It's absolutely not the role of index funds to dictate strategy to the companies they own. The whole premise behind an index fund is investors don't know which strategy is best, so just buy everything.

Where funds could have an impact is tying more of management compensation to long-term results. Longer vesting schedules on stock compensation would be an easy place to start.
