>> The convenience needs to be better and cheaper (including perceived risks') than piracy to win.

Exactly. People saying "well it's not profitable" or this that and the other are missing the boat. Piracy is always going to exist and it's always going to be basically free. There is no beating that. That is the new reality we are in.

Now, they must adjust to that reality, whether they like it or not. Many services have and many people pay plenty of money because of it. But we're rapidly moving to a place where piracy is simpler than what we have now, which is embarrassing for paid services.

The ARDC may have stolen something from their community but I don't think Amazon got that IP range for free.

Vim can also edit remote files, with its built-in netrw module. It can do ssh, ftp, dav, fetch, http, rcp, rsync.

I think the subject is somewhat ambiguous because for many users, they are more likely to recognize library author names than cryptographers. And imagine those authors are cryptographers in their own right.
The trope comes partly from some of us who have lived in both and saw the difference first hand. It also depends on where you are (eg: Im told Quebec is a lot worse than Ontario, though I've never gotten the chance to compare them).

But when I lived in a single payer system, the thought of going to the ER was -terrifying-. Go in at 6am in excruciating pain, still waiting by 10pm unless you're spitting blood all over the place.

The first time I went to the ER in the US, I walked straight by it because all I saw was a bunch of nurse looking bored and no one around...because it was empty. Subsequent time it was a bit more crowded, but never the horrors that I saw in my childhood.

Now that Im older, for fairness reason I'd still take single payer any day. While I'm quite privileged, others are not, and I rather wait all day at the ER than knowing some people can get bankrupted by it. But the difference in wait times are still front and center in my memories.
How often did you run starting out?

I’ve been doing 1 miles after my strength workouts ~3x a week, and it hasn’t gotten much better. Been doing it for about 2 months.
I had no idea this was how QuickBooks even worked in the cloud. Could Intuit be in any way liable (like is this a sort of franchise type of thing)? Or is it closer to Word Press where different companies can install "QuickBooks Cloud" and then offer it?
Back in the late 90's, there were several CRUD web app generators that were quite good. I used a commercial one, and was demo'ed an internal one used by a small Michigan design house (govt. contractor.) They said it was their secret sauce, and I believe them.

Currently, there are several database ETL tools (Talend, Pentaho, etc.) which are graphical (think shitty like Labview), but anybody serious uses python or perl scripts.

Today I would look at Zapier or publishing a Google sheet.

In the 2000-2005 era, there was national advertising by those sketchy diploma-mill universities like U. of Phoenix to turn military veterans into C++ programmers because the Visual Studio IDE "did all the work for you."

Those TV ads were truly eyebrow-raising to me, since I learned all that the hard way (ie. paid development projects) and couldn't recall the IDE every writing a function for me.

The lightest-weight and most powerful text form builder is likely Perl's CGI::FormBuilder module. I've used it for several years and it is remarkable for building CRUD apps.

Apple's Resedit and Adobe's internal dialog layout editor both allow visual layout that saves to text resources.

OpenAPI has tools for generating a server API skeleton, but I think it has the same problem as all code generators: when you want to substantially change it, you'll want to check it in to git and hand-edit, like always.
It's incredibly common. See Stripe for example https://stripe.com/docs/api/authentication

Use PLEX, buy dvds, and copy them onto your PLEX server. It satisfies all of your listed requirements.
Why are all ELK stack based logging solutions so much more expensive than custom rolled solutions like logdna, datadog, papertrail,etc.

The per gb cost on the other ones start at 1.20 $/gb and goes till 2$/gb. While almost all hosted ELK solutions start off at 3$/gb.

Im asking because i would very much like to adopt an ELK based hosted solution..but I'm not able to justify paying double. Is it that running+resource costs for ELK are so high that the extra charge needs to happen ?
> Microsoft is the most diversified tech company of the top tech companies. They have cloud, software, hardware, game consoles, search engine, development tools.

I think Amazon is probably far more diversified than Microsoft. Unless they are so diversified that they aren't even considered a "tech" company anymore.
That's great news it's true. Netflix just have to invest in curating content and an always-on channel(s) to fix that problem. Much cheaper.
My understanding of the case is that he was charged with evading JSTOR security, not for accessing the MIT network.

I've never really understood why you'd want a constant visual indication of changed lines all the time, especially with something bright/colourful on the side. The only time I find that useful is during reviews before committing. Otherwise it seems like a distraction. Vim is great for minimalism.

Likewise I keep Nerdtree closed until I need it and it opens on the right. While VSCode, old Textmate, etc has it always visible and on the left side.

Even if it loads and performes OK, I still don't like it. Client-side rendering is making the web even more fragile - nothing is going to last anymore.
The Spanish site that the TMT is considering is in the Canary Islands, far from mainland Spain. Like Mauna Kea, that site has several large observatories on it already. Like Mauna Kea, it's in the northern hemisphere (which the TMT wants) but not too far north. It is an excellent site, but it is at a lower elevation than Mauna Kea, with somewhat poorer seeing.

Since 2015 it has been clear to many of us who watched the protests that year and the endless public meetings which followed, that the TMT could not be built in Hawaii. Still, I've been astonished this week by how massive the protest has been, and how feeble the state response has been.
Content satisfaction was more important when they ran a service where you spent several days waiting for and returning a disc.

The metrics shifted. Subscriber retention just isn't that tightly correlated with them identifying hidden gems for you, that may be an externality we've just lost.

There used to be a lot of competition in this space, for a few years you could go on free sites designed only to give you targeted recommendations. I think Jinni was one.

They were just training their engines and became ad networks.

One other factor, not really anyone's fault -- the massive increase in high quality scripted content has made search less critical. If you fail to find hidden gems in 2003, you get Pirates of the Caribbean sequels and miss out on Oldboy or Goodbye Lenin. Today if you pull up any random streaming service you'll probably find something that's good enough, even if not great.

It's a little disappointing, maybe there's room for a p2p ML recommendation engine in this space for people who really want to optimize what they're consuming. I'd be into it.
Elastic Cloud is pretty reasonable IMHO. We have a logging cluster that costs us around 250 euro per month. Yes, running it ourselves would be cheaper but doing that in Amazon would eliminate most of the cost benefits. If you then consider devops cost needed to that, there is no difference. Most companies getting started with Elasticsearch should probably not do that on day 1. You can always start doing this later if there's some reason to.

I've never had clusters being killed randomly but I did have a few self inflicted issues with cluster instability due to flooding the cluster with too much data and not having suitable data retention policies in place. With the recently added index life cycle management (an x-pack feature), this is easier to manage these days.

If you are spending seven figures a year on elastic search, you clearly are not a beginning user and there's some cost savings that you might be able to realize by taking ownership of the problem of hosting it somewhere cheaper. For that, their recently open sourced kubernetes helm charts are worth a look. Those scripts take care of a lot of things and get you a self hosted version of Elastic Cloud.

Amazon hosted clusters are indeed a bit bare-bones (as is their support for these clusters) and I would also not recommend them; you get more value for money by using Elastic Cloud.

I would have more faith that the ARDC will use the proceeds from the sale for the benefit of the ham community at large if they engaged the community beforehand.

It seems to me that they saw the opportunity to make a lot of money, and figured having a lot of money is a good problem to have and they could figure out what to do with it later.

The fact that they have no specific public plans for the money is telling. They mention vague plans for grants, scholarships and a perpetual endowment, but how do we know they won't keep most of it in the endowment and use most of the interest to pay board member salaries? If the board decided to do that, who could stop them? Who elects the board?

I particularly don't like this response:

> This makes
me one of a VERY small group of people with any arguable personal
property interest in network 44. And yes, 25% of this space, which is
VERY unlikely to ever be used by hams, has been sold to Amazon.

> Rather than try to personally profit from this, we all readily agreed to
place the entire proceeds of this sale into a 501(c)(3) charity
chartered to support amateur digital radio and related developments. No
one is buying a yacht or a mansion.

https://mailman.nanog.org/pipermail/nanog/2019-July/102138.h...

I'm not saying I expect the board will use the money to buy a yacht or a mansion, but the whole tone of that email makes it sound like they feel entitled to do so, and it was only their own magnanimity that caused them to give the proceeds to a 501(c)(3).

I'd much rather the board of the organization see themselves as stewards who are not personally entitled to the money. Otherwise you end up with "charities" like the Trump Foundation.
I run an ad delivery platform (hey, we're both popular) and I detect and block bots because they tend to inadvertly drive up engagement counts on ad campaigns, creating a situation where publishers can't be confident in their numbers. Some clients have their own tech to do the the same.
YouTube seems to give me clickbait crap with high view counts. Yes it may somewhat be related to my interests but not really.

So, bury the required notice inside the legalese of all that paperwork everyone has to sign when they get hired. They signed, so they know about it, right?
I don't have any objections to gay sex scenes. But that chapter was kind of... meh? I didn't feel it pushed the edge in terms of futuristic issues that much.

You could be in a relationship over IRC in the 90's with a person of the same sex and not know that until you're too deep into it. The VR thing didn't add much to that narrative. The same way 3D movies don't add much (more often than not, they make the experience worse).
Not the GP but I've been in a similar position:

- Be good (and fast) at Googling things.

- Know your foundations, deeply. Don't memorize design patterns and algorithms: instead, learn how to arrive at them organically and how to analyse and understand them.

- Avoid overengineering like the plague and stop seeking perfection. I've seen lots of teams of "1x" engineers fail because they're too worried about peer approval, so they end up trying too hard to arrive at the "perfect" solution. And then business changes its mind and they have to rearchitect everything.

- Accept that business people will change their minds and design your software around it. The world doesn't revolve around your precious codebase. If the higher ups want to change something, you have to do it. Your codebase should have been malleable enough for a 180 degree pivot.

- Stop chasing unicorns. Yeah, maybe Vim will give you that extra 10% edge you need, but if you're comfortable with Atom, why change?

- Keep it simple, don't be clever. Only use the subset of the programming language that is free of "gotchas". What's the output of `[].push(1)` in ES6? Who gives a shit? Keep that stuff out of your code.

- Learn to evaluate if using an external dependency is actually faster than writing something from scratch or just copying some code. Sometimes it isn't, and people miss out on having simpler code, simpler interfaces AND learning new stuff because of that. Of course, you're not going to do that with a crypto

- Avoid things that might slow you down. The CI taking 30 minutes to run or the compilation taking 10 minutes are a sign that you're doing something very wrong and too complicated.

--

As for practical recommendations:

- A single integration test is better than multiple disconnected unit tests that have the same coverage. It allows you to change your code without changing the tests.

- Avoid transitive dependencies in your classes/functions by using simple Dependency Injection. Just pass those dependencies as a parameter or whatever. This will help you have units of code that are more testable, more flexible and don't require maintenance. Also you don't need those mock-in

- Make code simpler to read and to debug. Avoid reflection, metaprogramming and stuff like that. Don't do things that require magic.
And a lot of 'Netflix originals' over in the EU are essentially localised variations of a theme.

The theme is usually the end of the world, zombies, or the dead coming back to life. Or some horrible phenomena at the edge of a forest, and the once peaceful town is under attack from the supernatural.

What makes it worse is that Netflix now dubs foreign content by default to make it all look English. And they do their best to trick you.
Your legal teamn is in contact with them, but their security is actively trying to block you? That doesn't make sense.

Computer security laws are very broad. It doesn't matter if it's just a website that the public can access. If you're accessing it in a matter that they don't want AND you're aware of that, then I struggle to see how your lawyers can justify it.

The random dungeon generation was, for me, absolutely the top killer feature of the game and was the main thing that kept me coming back through so many replays.

For some reason, not a single other similar game I've played has had the same effect on me. Maybe there's bias going on (obviously I was younger then), but I've played a huge number of games since, and not a single one quite scratched the same itch. I will be saving this article.

SEAL Team Six is best known for a raid during the Obama administration. Modern progressives seem to have less of a problem with the military than old school leftists (and less of a focus, politically, on foreign policy) hence simple glorification of the military seem pretty centrist.

Check out the recently open sourced kubernetes scripts: https://www.elastic.co/elasticsearch-kubernetes. There's no need to reinvent all of that.

ES is indeed super solid if you know what you are doing. However, most users getting started with this are probably going to find out a few things the hard way though; which is why I recommend hosted solutions as it removes quite a bit of non trivial devops from the equation.

But they´re the wrong lessons if you want to do a startup... an MBA is very focused on an existing firm.

That´s why Paul Graham et al advise against it. There´s some very useful knowledge, especially financial and accounting and knowing organizational dynamics if you want to go B2B (not to mention connections).

I personally sometimes regret spending the money and effort on my master´s (a Tech MBA). It definitely didn´t give me the career advancement I was hoping for.
•You are what you consume - People, music, news, etc. If you mostly consume the “positive” side of life, your mindset will follow.
•Moving upwards in society is not as easy as I thought. “Classes” reproduce themselves in the dress of habitus.
•You can only rely on yourself. “Friends” are stage of life companions.
•Finding a partner in crime seems like a tough task - don’t settle with someone, who you are only with to not feel lonely.

Safety in the form of tightly-fitting types is great, but the signatures definitely suffer a bit in readability (otherwise, Haskell signatures are generally quite helpful when deciphering a functions purpose). I understand why it needs to be this way, but this signature is nasty looking:

makePCATypeSafe
:: forall d x y. (AllConstrained SingI '[d,x,y], d <= x ~ 'True)
=> Proxy (d :: Nat) -> DimMatrix D y x Double -> TypeSafePCA

In (pseudo code), dependent types would really help out a lot:

makePCATypeSafe
:: forall (d :: Natural) (x :: Natural) (y :: Natural). d <= x
=> Proxy d -> DimMatrix D y x Double -> TypeSafePCA

It sometimes feels like GHC is a kitchen sink for type-level extensions. I wish the bar for entry for new extensions of this sort was higher and the language a bit more cohesive.

Whatever the resale price is, if you buy and sell used then you shouldn’t care, right?

I think the problem is the likelihood of not being able to resell what you bought (because it was pirated in the first place) is high, the likelihood of getting bad feedback is high, the likelihood of getting your reseller account canceled is high, and the likelihood of the item taking forever to resell is high.... all adding up to “a small chance of recouping your cost with a reasonable level of frustration.”
I don't think that's the most important part. Rather:

Full disclosure can also protect previously unaffected / potential future customers, by warning them of companies that have been so lax with their security that they've been breached.

So to achieve a comparable upside to full disclosure, HIBP needs to also make aggregate data publicly available. Which they do:
