I don’t think the problem is that it has ties to a political entity.

The problem is that that entity is a de-facto dictatorship that is well known for being corrupt.
The Border Gatway Protocol is what network providers use to announce which IP ranges they can route traffic for. The problem is it's almost totally unauthenticated, so rogue ISPs and network operators can suddenly take over parts of the internet by "leaking" routes for ranges they shouldn't be able to control.

They do this by announcing something like "send me all traffic for 1.1.1.1 - 1.1.1.255", and if their peers don't verify it, they'll just start routing that traffic to them. Peer by peer, the route then propagates and a larger portion of the internet, and as routers learn the new bad route, more of the traffic to those IPs gets sent to incorrect network.
Do you think the same way about suicide hotlines?

Of course choosing to die is anyone's right and it is bad that most countries still ban euthanasia, but often people want to die not by choice but because of illness or some kind of misunderstanding, and helping them is a good thing. I don't think that by "psychological care" OP meant "forcibly putting people into ward" which could justify your reply.
If the consumer has no idea it received a fake product how is the proper decision not getting the cheaper conterfeit?
I've had FiOS issues in PA since around 6:30AM impacting a decent fraction of sites. YouTube was down for about 5 minutes. Slack still very flaky. A client who hosts a 5-figure number of domains on Cloudflare still unavailable to me, but the pagers didn't start going off so presumably it is isolated. Thanks for all the updates.

It's mostly imported. Last time I ran the numbers I calculated that Drax would burn every tree in the UK within a year if limited to local wood. Supposedly it's sawmill waste: https://www.drax.com/sustainability/environment/#sourcing-su... that would otherwise be burned as waste: https://www.drax.com/sustainability/one-company-helped-trans...

>But this seems like a classic case where microservices are needed.

I dont think that will help. The fundamental problem is the amount of work necessary to begin producing results. Take the POS talking directly to the DB. What you want to build is a unified API but to do that you first need to write a new POS system and replace a bunch of physical devices. The problem is how do you convince the business folks to spend years and millions on something that will save/produce the company 0 dollars?

The path to do something like what's in the article is to first spend a year or so digging into code and finding every single issue like the POS one. Then you spend years fixing all of those issues. Then you spend more years actually building what you want.

As a consulting firm if you come in and bid $100 million and 7 years while everyone else does $30 million over 3, well, you lose. So thats what you bid. Who cares if it goes tits up? You collect your fat bonuses for 18 months and then move onto your next firm/position. The inevitable failure can be blamed on the person who takes over.

I'm cancelling my Revolut account.
I have some empathy for them because having a college degree is becoming less optional if you want to partake in today's economy, especially if you want to move up relative to your poorer parents who probably don't have the support and/or network for you to find your way to a good career. Sure, it's not required to have a financially stable background and college degree to make it but saying that forgoing them is a reliable path is not honest.

So, in that light, I would say that I don't think all debts should be cancelled but I do think we should remind ourselves that during the New Deal there were plenty of people who said that it would be unfair for the government to fix jobs and social security for lazy bums. We don't have to go to either extreme, cancelling all debts or showing no sympathy what so ever.

They refused to give me my information too, though. I wanted all the data they had on my transactions so I could analyze my card usage.

All the fraudulent transaction has is amount/merchant/date and card, it doesn't have any of the fraudster's info on it.
My example is literally the real world version of the example in the article, only thing I did was change string values and identifier names. If you say my example works as an abstraction, it means that it successfully refutes the argument that the article tries to make.
My god but this post says a lot about Slack doesn't it?
ZFS DRAID – Distributed Spares [WIP]
These are well known anywhere engineering is a core competency, regardless of what any one manager's background is in.

I suspect this listicle is only relevant in a company that inaccurately brands themselves as a "tech company" because their actual business happens to involve a computer. In that case, the reader needs a whole lot better preparation for that minefield than a listicle.
Well-regulated capitalism isn't capitalism.

Capitalism is inherently self-destructive because it tends towards a monopoly and unregulated monopolies make competition impossible (especially if they're "vertically integrated", i.e. monopolies at every level of the value chain). Regulation solves this by restraining capitalism and actively working against it. But companies like Amazon and other US megacorps have been lobbying against regulation for decades and in the US they have been extremely effective.

"Don't blame Amazon" is a position from privilege. I make enough money to be able to waste hours clicking through various websites to find the best deal. Whether or not I shop local is largely a question of laziness. But assuming this holds true for everyone is absurd.

There simply is no direct competitor to Amazon. Sure, there are specialised shops and some of them may have put in the effort to gain their target audience's trust and brand recognition, but everyone already has an Amazon account and if you are already paying every month for Prime shipping (now included in your VOD package!) why not just shop Amazon -- you'll likely order something from them anyway, so just throw it in and maybe you pay enough to hit the threshold for that "plus" product that's been collecting dust in your shopping card.

I wonder, can it in theory be plugged in iPad and use it as a power source and external monitor somehow? That would finally make iPad able of running Linux. I'd be able to practice my Agda on it, for example.

This. This is the right answer
Exactly, that's why it's weird. It would have to be a huge range leaked to get both 8.8.8.8 and 1.1.1.1, surprising that a peer didn't filter it before it worked it's way up the chain.

We've been evaluating Cloudflare mainly for doing failovers faster than DNS. This morning I ran some tests to generate graphs to show the typical delay incurred in preparation for a show-and-tell with some key people.

I started seeing delays of up to 300 seconds! At best there was a 1 second delay. I wondered if I was going to have present "Why we've decided not to go with Cloudflare!"

Any longtime Cloudflare users comment on how rare an event this sort of thing is? It seems rare from eyeballing the recent alert history.
Ah, I see. Makes sense when you know it. Explaining it would solve the problem for me. Can't win a game I don't know the rules to, you know.
FWIW, this site doesn't seem accurate. I used it against my site that is definitely using cloudflare and it incorrectly reported it as not :p
That's why they make the Compute Module with the option for eMMC storage.
I used to work with an old IBMer from the MQ team. He'd also worked at DEC and the BBC before joining my team at Chase in the late 90s. He used to joke that it was no accident that IBM almost collapsed at the same time as the Soviet Union as they were very similar organisations!
There were a lot of people who bought the Uber ipo believing the bullshit that self driving cars were around the corner and they’d soon be able to get rid of all their drivers.
You're not going to be able to get a solid list, this is a different category of problem than something like CloudBleed, and even then the list wasn't solid. This issue is affecting AWS, Cloudflare, Cloudflare DNS, Google DNS, and the tens of thousands of other services that depend on them, but it's region specific and will break different things for different users as the leak propagates.

Shame we don't have Camus around to address the problem, tbh.

There is outsized demand for money laundering from Russia, in large part owing to its endemic and unchecked corruption. This is why most recent European money laundering scandals have involved Russian money [1][2][3].

So when you see an AML deficient operation with multiple Russian ties based out of Lithuania, it raises legitimate questions.

Your point stands regardless, but Amazon famously doesn't do what is most profitable. Their profits as a business (ignoring AWS) are woeful.
Yeah. I used my PSP to listen to internet radio and as a simple web browser(Lynx browser with the unique phone-layout keypad for text input anyone?). I've also participated in several different games coding competitions, that's actually how I got properly into coding, nowadays I work as a games programmer and that wouldn't have happened if not for the PSP.
Meanwhile, the rest of the CRUD world is still using local RDBMS in place of local key-value stores.

I understand the point the abstract is trying to make, but the title is sensationalized at best.
Could you be more clear about your intended meaning. From this you might mean "I can't be sure", or you might mean "the government will step in to prevent it", or you might actually think your bank will keep your money safe, or ...
Because we are not resource-constrained, we are attention-constrained. More efforts like this beget more (& better) efforts.
It does at least need a heatsink. Though it will function without it, you may get temperature warnings, and it will run hot enough to significantly reduce component life. I've also hooked an old PC case fan to the GPIO pins or a USB port, and it runs slower (5V vs the 12 it expects) but does the job fine.

Not from the resentment angle.

From time to time I wonder if me having my daughter when 25 years old ruined some enterpreneurship future for me, but then I remember, that when I was in my 20-ties, I had many dreams about starting projects, but mostly I opted for watching loads of anime :D

On the other hand, with some risk of getting too personal, me and my wife are slowly going through separation and divorce, and despite my daughter bringing so much joy to my life, I often think how easier my current situation would be without her, and how hard it is not to hurt her in the process :-/

Yep - all content I release in the future will be available to all customers. I will be sending out emails as new content is released.
I had Chase screw up a similarly obvious dispute. Long story short, Newegg send me a defective monitor, they claimed it was damaged on return, and then dithered on the refund. After I filed a dispute Newegg sent the defective and now broken monitor back to me. They then responded to the dispute saying I never returned the item and gave the tracking as proof. Chase inexplicably (how could they send back the item if I never returned it?) sided with them.

All the CFPB did for me was forward my complaint to Chase who (politely) told me to go fuck myself.

I'm not sure I'd use a pi has an HTPC for true blue-ray type 4K. Not to ding it, and I'm very excited (and happy to be proven wrong), but I'm not sure it will have the performance for that. I expect quite a bit will depend on whether or not someone puts in the software optimization work, as I remember how powerful PCs couldn't decode what they can on today's codecs a few years back. But we'll see.

I guess maybe if you added a heatsink and/or fan? I'd be a bit concerned about component life, taxing it that hard.

Oh yeah, and I wanna see how this thing overclocks.

Because it will have access to confidential information. It's essentially a keylogger.
It didn’t even mention which card this transaction was on, just no trace. Thinking it was a recurring bill payment that’s getting declined, I started looking into my cards, disabling and re-enabling limits.

I am guessing that you are the author of this blog post. For a long term user, you seem to have made a lot of assumptions and mistakes. You also seem to have a few cards on your account. I can't tell if you froze ALL of your cards, either immediately upon discovering the fraudulent event or before raising/disabling limits and then 'deal' with the rogue virtual card afterwards.

Revolut is a pre-paid card. You can't expect expect the same level of protection or consumer rights, which are provided by a Credit Card or a bank registered in your jurisdiction.

Regardless, you should post this in the Revolut community for more visibility and probably get an actual resolution, before jumping on the GDPR angle ─ which will fail to provide with you enough details, as most financial institutions will redact any information on fraudulent transactions ─ stating in some vague language that it is an on-going fraud/crime investigation, hence they are not allowed to discuss it etc.

Good luck.

I think the assumption is that the average Linux user will easily figure out installing DBeaver and PostgreSQL by themselves, plus installation methods will vary depending on distribution. I'm a Linux user and I'd certainly skip that video.
I would hypothesize that cash transactions -- at least peer to peer transactions -- in general do not get taxed.

It's axiomatic that cryptocurrency transactions are rarely taxed, most people have not paid taxes on those transactions. The IRS is certainly trying to tax them, and the electronic ledger function of (some) cryptocurrencies will make it easier to track them under some circumstances than cash. That may change as time goes on -- I'm not sure enough how libra is implemented to have an opinion on that yet.

For those just wanting specs, here is a summary from the table from the article comparing it to RPI3 (left new):

CPU: 1.5-GHz vs 1.4-GHz (same cores)

RAM: selectable 1, 2, 4GB (depending on which version) vs 1 GB

Video out: 2 micro hdmi out vs 1
Max resolution 4K @60hz vs 2560x1600

USB: 2x3.0,2x2.0 vs 4x2.0

Ethernet: Gigabit vs 330MB

Wireless: Bluetooth 5.0 vs 4.1

Charging: USB-C vs USB micro

Power requirement: 3A at 5V vs 2.5A at 5V

Size/weight: 43g vs 50g

Note: somewhat skeptical on power draw, as RPI3 would occasionally spike higher than 3A, but we will see how it handles “brown outs”.

Either way, pretty excited :)

Ask HN: Preferred chat program compromise between security and UX?
Recently I've been needing to switch from iMessage to something supporting Linux. My wife and I previously used Telegram, however I've never been sold on their security model. However, they do have one of the better UXs. I've wanted to try something like Matrix, but not heard great things on its performance.

So I'm curious to hear what you use HN. What do you use, what platform are you on, and what do you like/dislike about it?

Appreciate any replies.

Re: In 2012, when Butterfield was convinced he’d failed, Braccia was steadfast, said Bradley Horowitz, who put some of his own money in the game company. That’s probably because Braccia recalled what happened the last time Butterfield made a bad game. It morphed into a popular photo-sharing site called Flickr, which Yahoo! bought for around $25 million in 2005. Braccia, Butterfield and Horowitz all worked together at Yahoo.

So it worked twice for Butterfield and I think it deserves exploring. Maybe this is the pattern:

1. Find a smart technical person you trust and fund their dream project with excess cash.

2. Don’t freak out if it flops- set up an expectation that if it flops, use the leftover cash to make a more generally useful tool/service.

Maybe the first dream project is always expected to fail, but it is necessary for releasing some sort of creative pressure, building trust, and learning how to communicate honestly between investor and innovator. If it produces unicorns more often, vcs should be happy to fund the first flop as it somehow prepares the perfectionist to ditch their grand visions and get back to making something dirty that works, but doing it of their own volition instead of feeling trapped.

To clarify: it’s boring to work on a flop— to put in more effort and not get any positive feedback. I think the natural reaction is to try to take things you learned, abandon the flop and try to work on something new. And in this wanting to start something new comes more openness to creating something that gets positive feedback quickly — not making a perfectionist monument because you already tried that and felt the pain. I don’t know if there is an expression for the feeling to be liberated to make something that is not “important” according to your own aesthetics... getting over yourself?
