It's very unlikely. You must consider that those routers aren't standardized embedded systems, but they are highly specialized with ASIC chips, in-house operation systems with its homebrew network stack.

Even with perfect documentation, it's not something that you can just fire up a BSD on - getting it all supported and running requires many years of works. Many of the functionalities of those routers make special assumptions to boost performance and don't even fit into a standard network stack, so minimally, you would need to develop your own functional network stack for that.

Or at least that's my impression of them, correct me if I'm misinformed.
The leather is a product, not a byproduct, just not the sole product. I fail to see the logic that killing a mink for its fur is wrong, but killing a cow is okay because we get meat along with the leather. You can also make arguments about how it’s okay because cows are raised specifically to be killed, but the fact remains that we kill orders of magnitude more cows than we ever have minks. My previous argument stands unchanged about how protesting mink is a small victory and most animal rights protesters stopped short of going for a big one.

Btw, I’m not an animal rights protester, I eat meat and have leather furniture. I’m just backing up the top level argument that Yale students aren’t protesting the big stuff.

One of the things I hate about Git is that it requires an email address. It doesn't let you just leave a blank value, it needs something that resembles an email address.

I get that email is how the kernel-devs do it. But IMO it's inappropriate for the version-control software to link a particular communication mechanism. Sure you can use a fake email address, and many of us do. Finally github has a feature to use their own no-reply email addresses, but it's a kludge.
Acosta said the reason he didn’t give him a harsher sentence back in 2007 was because he “belonged to intelligence”.

>> He’d cut the non-prosecution deal with one of Epstein’s attorneys because he had “been told” to back off, that Epstein was above his pay grade. “I was told Epstein ‘belonged to intelligence’ and to leave it alone,” he told his interviewers in the Trump transition, who evidently thought that was a sufficient answer and went ahead and hired Acosta. <<

To use for example EKS (Amazon Kubernetes) you still have to provide worker nodes by using EC2 API.. which more or less means your infrastructure management is in the same lock-in as you were previously while simply deploying with EC2 VMs..

Kubernetes doesnt solve the vendor lock in issue completely. You still need workers, external dns, databases, gateways and other to operate.

The strength of Kubernetes comes in development speed. And thats pretty much it. You can push something out pretty fast and scale it. Ah, this and the fact its easier to find newbs familiar with k8s (they often have no idea how to deal with bare-metal).

I wouldnt say the amount of operational work vs normal cloud management is simplified. Managing kubernetes cluster is painful, Ive witnessed 3 updates of EKS where each one broke some part of the cluster: dns / autoscaling / monitoring etc.

But hey it is fast. Building runtime image with immutable layers is a huge adventage in itself.

Oh, I don't know but I can speculate.

First, you'd hope they have profits, or they wouldn't be able to pay the bondholders? The question is, where do the company's future profits go?

I guess you could think of it as being a bit more like a bank? A bank provides a service to its depositors, holding their money and paying a little interest. A company does something similar for its bondholders, at higher risk than bank deposits but lower than stocks.

The company is for some reason deciding it wants to expand into the "provide a service to bondholders" business. It's a bit weird to talk about "providing bondholder value" but that's basically what they're doing, by staying in business, paying the interest, and rolling over the bonds. Stockholders get a one-time windfall when a company expands into this business, as the company for whatever reason doesn't actually need the cash.

It's a bit weird to borrow money from bondholders for this purpose, but you could think of it as doing things out of order. Instead of borrowing money to grow the business, they grow the business first, then borrow the money. Less risky that way!

You might also think of it this way: maybe some investors are looking for less risky investments. They would rather have bonds than stocks. Companies are responding to that.

Maybe we should be worried about companies being more bank-like? Life is uncertain. Why are they making guarantees they might not be able to keep? We've been this way before with banks chopping up mortgages to make "safe" investments.
> Smart Licensing works differently. Companies can acquire a pool of licenses for their account, which are shared automatically among devices they’ve deployed. Those devices phone home to Cisco regularly for validation, and if they aren’t able to do so will go back to “Evaluation Mode” after one year.

It doesn't sound unusual to me, I feel it's just the usual "Enterprise" bullshit, where you have little control or internal knowledge over your equipment, and must follow a restrictive licensing plan and use official support to keep it running. I think the most extreme version is the IBM mainframe computers, if you DRM license module is inoperative, the computer is essentially reduced to a huge piece of useless junk. Other enterprise hardware/software is not too restrictive, but still follows the same pattern, such as Oracle products.
My UK-centric view of addresses caused me an unnecessary and unpleasant 3kms walk, backpack-laden, in high summer Sydney heat back in 2003.

Turns out “100 Some Road” can exist in multiple contiguous suburbs here in Australia. The numbering for the road re-starts at a suburb boundary! Who knew?

This means that, upon exiting a train station and seeing number 2, 4, 6... to your left, you can’t walk left and find the 100 you’re looking for. You might be in the wrong suburb, and your number 100 might in fact be to your right.

I remember that day like it was yesterday. 2nd December 2003. I’m an Australian now, but I had the good sense to move to Melbourne. ;-)

This goes both ways. When we progress to a new technology, after the wow factor we take it for granted.

Will the same thing happen with global warming as it’s slowly creeping on us?
1 - Fair point, that was me creating a straw man, I got emotional and I apologise

2 - Depends on perspective, from my point of view the narrative on HN at the moment seems to be in your favour and you're not going against much, hence my antagonistic comment

3 - Misunderstanding implies there's merit, which you seem to be very sure of - I'm just saying be careful, this has all the signs of blowing up and if you're right it won't be because there's been writing on the wall

4 - Refer to 1), again, unfortunately I got emotional and my comment could have been written with more substance and less bullshit

5 - Talking about "cloud kitchens" just makes me feel like I'm talking to someone from a different planet.
This article explains why comparisons to Amazon are misguided:

https://news.crunchbase.com/news/why-amazons-history-of-ipo-...

Among other things

"Amazon, the patron saint of money-losing companies, lost a combined $2.8 billion over its first 17 quarters as a public company, roughly on par with what Uber lost in 2015 alone."
Of course there should, it's common sense. That there is no such standard procedure seems unlikely to be accidental.

I think the point is that it's not bad news. Losing money can be good for a company if it's being done in a way that leads to long-term growth. Amazon didn't have a profitable quarter for ~7 years after its IPO: https://www.theatlas.com/charts/BJjuqbWLz

> it would be atypical for a suburb to have significant independent restaurants within 5mi of any given point

Some cities, like Dallas, seem to have a higher percentage of chain restaurants than the average suburb. Other cities, like Seattle, have a ton of restaurants that seem independent but are actually part of a portfolio of restaurants owned by one person, private equity, or a corporation experimenting.

I expect uber eats will scale very well in the suburbs if they can get multiple orders in the same car efficiently. Restaurants are experimenting with food that travels better.

I feel like this is all insane and doesn't make any sense. At least to the general public. What difference does it make? It doesn't even improve our understanding of reality in any meaningful way, it doesn't impact us in any way.

Because when you actually ask that question - where did it come from - it's a question you can't really answer within the framework of our consciousness.

Details may change every few years but overall, it boils down to two main approaches: 1) find a position through your professional network, as an estimated 80% of jobs come through such connections; 2) be discoverable for the other 20%.

Be active in both.

Present something at a local meeting/event. Often, it doesn't have to be fancy or overly polished. Some events on meetups.com have a few people present for 10 minutes each.

Which leads to #2, be discoverable: put those presentation materials on GitHub or GitLab.

Additionally, there are common interview questions (whiteboard and/or code challenge) such as URL shortener (e.g., TinyURL) or anagram solvers. These have come up a number of times in my interviews over the past few years, so I wrote the code and pinned these on my GitHub profile. (Same user id as here, if you're interested.)

I decided to go a step further and give each the full dev-ops treatment: Dockerfile, Makefile, etc.

But give them a solution, not a problem.

Avoid relying upon AWS/GCP/Azure proprietary offerings unless that's precisely what you're demonstrating, and make it work as-is: fetch all dependencies with version pinning (if possible-- else put versions in README), so then you know that it will build for them exactly as it did for you.

That's wrong in regard to food labels. If the formulation has changed in a way that makes those already printed labels inaccurate, they already have to throw them away to comply with Federal law and FDA rules.

All dane-pgp's proposed law would change is that when they change the labels to match the new formulation, which they must do, they would have to include a change date or a version number of something like that on the new label.

Thank you for your response, aka why I love HN we can have discussions not pissing contests.

You are probably right about my bs martyrdom on this topic, HN is better informed.

I am on planet earth although head in clouds :). But really look through the cloud lens of:

1 - people order a lot of takeout, and mostly the same thing with same frequency (Thursday is Chinese night, etc)

2 - Uber owns a lot of data around who is ordering what and when. This data is similar to amazons general product info and how they can manage the insane logistics of same day stocking, not even to mention same day delivery.

3 - setting up a massive production line kitchen in a rent efficient space (aka not retail, industrial at 30% the costs) with the same predictive models amazon uses to stock “same day” is many times more efficient than mom and pop restaurants.

4 - Transport costs can be mitigated with an Uber pool like model or a heavily tip reliant model (like Amazons prime now)

Fun fact - Travis K after leaving UBER is heavily investing time and money in cloud kitchen space.

Could someone explain to a layman what is our best theory as to the limits of the universe as it pertains to the start of the big bang? How do we know the big bang is not just a tiny spec in the middle of a giant ocean (similar to a supernova, but on a larger scale) that's part of something much much bigger? I am guessing it's just beyond our knowledge to figure out what lies beyond the big bang, but if that were true, wouldn't dark matter truly exist way before any big bang(s) took place?

In none of the comments have I seen mention of Wickr messenger which seems well designed with respect to security and provides e2e encryption, ephemeral messaging, device anonymity (to the servers), video and audio comms.

I am a descendant of an endangered high trust society lineage so I'm genetically programmed to get a dopamine surge when I randomly help others in need. Unfortunately. I'm also rich and I have no loved ones so there isn't much resistance to this wasteful tendency. I also have an occasional death wish so maybe it's the rich male version of a girl who cuts herself. There are also schizotypal motivations like I'll read Timothy 6:10 and get scared of having too much money despite not being religious. Sometimes I also think if I can relive the long lost anxiety of feeling like I'm not making enough money, then my urge to work hard on new projects will come back. The only way Venmo are not cunts is if they could tell I had unhealthy motivations for sending money and they wanted to protect me from myself. Since that obviously isn't what happened, Venmo are cunts.
Not really. Debt at low interest rates is pretty low risk. The first rule of investment is to deploy your capital where you will realize the best returns. If you can make 6% and have borrowed at 3% then paying down your debts would be foolish.

> Isn’t the whole point of END to END messaging being undecipherable on devices other than these two?

That’s how it should be. WhatsApp’s desktop apps are technically another front-end to your secured database on your phone. I’m searching for the tweet of one of iOS security researcher that confirmed this. That’s also the reason that your WhatsApp desktop client stops working when you are out of range. That’s being said, I’ve noticed that recently this is changing and somehow the desktop app maintains the data a bit longer. It’s still not completely independent but I think it’s in the transition period. If that happened, then their E2E has to be different.

By the way, I think the security code from one of your devices, probably your phone, can be encoded to the QR code and transfer to the client.

I assume WhatsApp implementation is a hybrid between mirroring the information and some sort of secure handshake via the QR code.
