A mechanism that allows the obviously illegitimate clearly will have no legitimacy itself, and so can't legitimise anything in particular. I don't see what the fuss is about?

As long as I am storing data on my node and/or use my node to access the system, yes, it is. Also, the comment I was replying to just said "The solution I think is instead of hosting it on cloud we host it at home" and suggested running a server on a Raspberry Pi. Nothing about federation.

What do you think is more likely, that Instagram goes out of business or that a Raspberry Pi sitting under my bed dies and takes my photos with it?
France and Algeria are not connected by land.
That's a surprise to see pop up again! Author here. Now I wish I had improved the demo in the past years... It still generates the etag from a few static parameters to make it work without JavaScript (as the page notes near the bottom), a real implementation doesn't have that limitation because they don't care to echo data (such as your note and visit count) back to you before the image with etag even loaded. I should have switched it to display the data in the image, so it works more accurately.
That's something you just can't predict. No one knows what people will be thinking "generations from now". You seem to be projecting strongly.
There were several good points in the post and one really bad one ("traps" which has been pointed out a few times).

There are a few issues with "traps" that should be avoided (any kind, not just the one mentioned): (1) Taking a failure to pay attention to a minor detail in a job application and assuming that applies more broadly is a nice idea, but not practical. People make mistakes, people overlook things and they prioritize how much they'll pay attention based on the task, not desire -- i.e. if I'm applying for 30 jobs, 2 of which I'm really excited about, I'll spend more time on the two I'm excited about but I'm probably going to spend as much time reading the description and instructions as I did for the previous 30 because the task is repetitive and similar. (2) It's likely to turn people off -- when I see very specific, very odd instructions in a job application, it's a signal that the company is doing things ... oddly. Are all of their internal processes this rigid? Especially for remote hiring, where your staff usually places a high value on flexibility, it's the wrong message to send.

But it makes you feel good, as the person doing hiring. It looks like a "quick way to eliminate a large number of resumes" and works about as well as all of those other quick ways.

The flip side of this sort of trap is that it can back-fire. Assuming that it truly does weed out candidates who lack an attention to detail, it could also skew toward perfectionist types who get everything perfect ... once it eventually, maybe gets completed at all.
North Africa won't even be a factor. It's really kind of a non player.

Consider this, how you gonna move resources from Central Africa to North Africa without enormous investment in infrastructure? Crossing the Sahara at scale will not be cheap.

Same issue with sudan and somalia. They will be non players. Kenya is just better situated for extraction ports geographically speaking. What logistics expert is going to build roads or rail from central african resources to somalia, when they have to traverse kenya to get there? They'll just make kenya the extract point. Really it doesn't even have anything to do with security, or politics, or ideology, or what not all. It's just cheaper. Simple as that.

That's OK. Nobody is forcing you to take the train, you're just being expected to pay for the environmental costs of your decision to fly, should you choose to do so.
The train infrastructure is not perfect, the biggest issue being travels not going to/from Paris: the lines aren't as good and there aren't a lot of high-speed lines.
My sons, who are twins, were similar maybe. They learned all of the mechanics of reading. They could read. They just weren't super into it the way their older sister was. Until I let them log in to World of Warcraft with me when they were around seven. When they realized there was a story to the game that they needed to understand and details to the quests that they needed to follow they suddenly cared about reading, they realized that it was a key that unlocked a lot of really cool things. They because voracious readers from that moment.
Obviously there are pitfalls to bringing kids into an online community, if I could have played it locally I would have. But it didn't start out as a plan, it was sort of a whim and when I saw the effect I started to use it judiciously, as another tool in our tool box.

They're worried that LE is a big target for hackers since getting their keys would compromise such a huge number of websites. Also they wonder if LE is sufficiently motivated to protect those keys, since they are a non-profit and don't offer breach insurance, and don't stand to lose a lot of money. It wraps up by encouraging site owners to review breach insurance options offered by their CA or cyber insurance from some third party.

"the current company's inertia dominates whoever they acquire and the internal sales-driven culture in developed markets supersedes anything resembling engineering related from a company they acquire"

What engineering-related innovation has RedHat come up with?

As a Linux sysadmin I've noticed that all of the companies I've worked at that have used RedHat chose it not because it was innovative but because:

1 - they could get a support contract

2 - because RH dominated the commercial Linux space

3 - because RH was the OS the admins knew and both wanted to leverage that knowledge and keep their knowledge current for continuing work with this market leader in future jobs (as that was likely the OS they'd use in most jobs to come)

Most of the "innovations" I can attribute to RH have been widely seen in the sysadmin community as negative. Innovations such as systemd, Network Manager, and selinux. The latter two we've often turned off because they caused so many problems. Unfortunately, systemd was too integrated in to the OS to be able to turn off.

There's RPM, but that was created decades ago when RH was not the company it was now, and it's just one packaging format out of many, and not one that IBM even needs to spend billions to buy. The only other positive tech that RH owns that I can think of is Ansible. But they didn't create it. They bought it.

What RH-originated innovations should we impressed by?
My comment isn't an ideal solution, it is what i consider a better solution considering how things are treated nowadays.

Ideally users would be wary of what they do with their computers, but considering how the world devolved from "you should never use your real name and address online" to modern social media, this is yet another case where i do not see such an ideal happening.
Being able to work effectively with anyone who acts professional is a much larger boon to productivity. There should be no social vetting of candidates, as long as they are skilled and act professionally, that's enough.

Would you want to go to coffee with someone who was staunchly in support of the opposite of your politics (be honest)? What if that person was a great coder and very professional? You're working with them, so the only thing that needs to be judged is if they can do that effectively.

Orange is a relatively much younger word than red (Middle English versus Old English with direct lineage from "Low" German/Proto-Germanic/…/Proto-Indo-European), deriving from the fruit (rather than some may assume the other way around). Orange entered the English language from French royalty (who could afford imported oranges), so arguably Orange is the more historically pretentious color word.

The reason for putting it ground up is that the vast majority of plug insertions occurs from above, with the plug angled down into the socket. This assures that the ground connector goes in first, as it's at the top, so you get the safety ground before any of the connections are made.
It's also a nice benefit that if something were to fall between the plug and the faceplate that it'd hit the ground and not short things (or short to the plate itself if it were metal).
There is little reason to compare IBM to Oracle, they have a very long history of their own acquisitions. I make no claim to understand what most of these are or how they have fared, but the list is public: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mergers_and_acquisitio...
When was the last time you had no choice but to fly from Paris to New York?

Not taking the flight at all can also be an option. If you really need to, well contributing 18 euros to support less polluting infrastructure such as trains is not that big a price to pay.
Of course this can also be applied to all other forms of tracking for extra persistence: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1714446
This might be region specific in that case. Over the years I've also switched multiple ISPs, not single one of them was without CG-NAT. I'm in India. It might have to do with subscriber base and available IPs.
Traveling less far, or taking longer to get there, using a slower alternative.
The curriculum is a mandatory set of topics (crudely speaking), yes. But how you teach that doesn't have to be sterile and unimaginative.

In terms of your point about kids having the freedom to explore the subjects they want, I think a fair amount of structure is actually beneficial rather than counter productive. Again, this doesn't mean lessons have to be boring.

If it was entirely down to the child me to control my learning, there is a lot of subjects I simply wouldn't have studied that adult me is glad are covered under the curriculum. There are children who, if given the choice, wouldn't do any studying at all and they really benefit from having structure. There are also children who simply don't know what that like yet and they really benefit from having exposure to the diverse range of subjects on the curriculum.

It's worth baring in mind that what the UK education system does works for the majority most of the time. There will be outliers of people who are disruptive and need more specialised attention just as there are people who are naturally inquisitive and might excel better in environments where their learning is left to themselves to structure. Given the demographic of HN, it wouldn't surprise me if we fall more into the latter category than a common slice of society normally would. However that doesn't mean that the net worth of our education system isn't there.

Do you have a citation on that?

https://www.yaleclimateconnections.org/2015/09/evolving-clim... says "Longer flights are more efficient overall, as cruising requires less fuel."

https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2010/apr/06/aviation... also states "short flights tend to be more harmful to the climate per mile travelled than long-haul flights are (because they have more empty seats, and because taking off and landing burns more fuel than cruising)".

There are two things keeping me using Chrome.

1) Videostreams are way smoother using Chrome, at least on Linux.

2) I've enabled Emacs Input in Gnome. When I enter something in the address bar, both Firefox and Chrome show suggestions for websites below. In Chrome I can type Ctrl+n / Ctrl+p to navigate between the suggestions, because it respects my keyboard schema.

In Firefox this opens new browser windows :( and I've found absolutely no way to change this behaviour.

Google Receives Patent for NN Dropout
This debate footage is so remarkable to watch in 2019, for several reasons. 1: They allowed a third party candidate in a general debate 2: The candidate is able to take breaths & even pause without someone cutting jumping in, allowing him to make an complete point 3: No one is talking over him while he talks.

Sure the candidates are tougher to manage in 2019 (especially after Trump changed the game in '16), but the debate moderation we've seen so far is truly pathetic, and I blame the moderators for robbing voters of the more meaningful discourse that might be possible if moderators did their jobs by actually enforcing time limits & forbidding interruptions (by cutting mics).
I’m at one of the big tech companies. Contrary to popular belief, we still do something akin to stack ranking and managers have to pick out their “bottom” performing candidates each year to let go if needed.

I know of someone who ended up in that pool simply because they contributed less to the team, as they were out for 2 months on legitimate medical leave.

My point being - it’s a known practice in the industry. Not saying it should be tolerated but remember this folks next time you consider a career decision out of loyalty. Your employer is loyal to no one other than shareholders.
But they don't get rich without the labour of the other 80%.
Indeed, I remember hearing about a product being researched which was a spray made from a certain kind of soil that promoted a different bacterial population on the skin to reduce malodor. Unfortunately I can't find any references now. Still, it actually works pretty well to go to the beach for a while and then you will smell better for days, so I think there's something going on there, whether it's the ocean water or the sand.

Of course not, because that's the company's core competency. A better analogy is running a construction company without quarterly software security audits. Because if that list of clients along with contact info gets leaked, that could be a GDPR violation.
If you are looking for a contrast with a typical tech bro modern day CEO leadership I highly recommend the book "On wings of Eagles."

You can't buy keys directly from Steam. There is steam gifting to gift games directly to accounts, but that got heavily restricted over the years. (You can't "hoard" gifts anymore in your account without activating them - on neither end, you can't gift when the price difference is too big between regions, if you decline a gift it automatically gets refunded for the giver, and so on...)

"Pixar movies have become crappy sequels made to sell toys."

Not really. Most of what they do isn't sequels, and the ones they do are great. I saw Toy Story in the cinema and loved it. My daughter just saw Toy Story 4 in the cinema and loved it. So...financially successful, and people love the movies - not sure how this is a good example, to be honest (unless the metric is "I don't like it", of course...).
But close to nothing is being recovered. We would recover more or less the same if we introduced a tax on bad weather to be paid by those suffering from it.

The money collected with this tax may or may not reduce air travel and will be spent on government employees, welfare distributions, healthcare, roads, military etc as all other taxes and only a fraction will be spent on improving the environment.
Or they know the individual and feel slighted by them somehow and, like unwell people are tend to do, got obsessive and went long-term.

Humans are odd creatures, it's entirely believable to think this person didn't wish them happy birthday x years ago or cut them in line at Starbucks and the person made it their mission to 'exact revenge'.

A former co-worker of mine was angry over another co-worker over something trivial. She had a known peanut allergy and at some point someone coated her keyboard and desk with peanut butter powder (which was blatantly obvious that something was all over her desk). We all knew he did it but no one saw it happen so nothing could be done about it. He would also go on and on about "you don't want to be on my list! I'm going to put you on my list!" but he'd never say it around management so again, they wouldn't do anything about him.
Nothing so far.
Most all appliances these days are single-device circuits (in the new kitchen, literally every appliance required a dedicated circuit - fridge, gas range, microwave, ovens, dishwasher, garbage disposal, etc.). So, lots of single-plug receptacles (code says a dedicated circuit has to have a special single plug receptacle here). No issues so far with anything.
This is one of those where the nature of the attack and inference together make the case.

The attackers were inside the system for several years. Marriott is a high-end hotel chain, whose establishments are used by state level travelers. Having ongoing access to politicians' and high-ranking corporate executives' itineraries, and especially their hotel room bookings, is an incredible avenue for espionage.

A financially motivated attacker would have tried to exfiltrate otherwise valuable data. But if the main target is the travel information data itself, and if the scope does not particularly expand over time, I am going to call it advanced espionage.
Hiring is a huge pain point for many people. It's a billion dollar problem. We want it to go away. Of course it ain't going to be fun, nor inspiring.

My original comment was about having computers be less connected because a large reason for security issues and their implications today arise from their connectivity, so i do not see what sandstorm.io is solving there.

I'm not familiar with Google's Fuchsia OS to judge, though i do remember reading some months (year?) ago about a clash between their developers and Google's advertising team that ended up with the developers compromising Fuchsia's design. Which brings me back to "let's not rely too much on connected stuff and prefer stuff we have control over, shall we?"
The definition of an asset is something that provides probable future economic value to the firm. Personal data seems to fall under this category to me.
If you have only a final “else” instead of a bare “return” in a function that returns a value, you are making it worse. Now when I read the code, my first instinct is “seems to be a bug, undefined behavior” and I have to read more carefully.

This is a terrible example and a code change I would never approve. The clarity-over-cleverness goal is good but not with these kinds of cases.
