Ask HN: Do paywalled articles have an effect on comments?
It occurs to me that I regularly hit a paywall on top-rated posts, and decide not to work around it. It made me wonder how often paywalled articles receive comments from people who were unable to read the article in its entirety due to a paywall vs comment and voting rates for users that interact with articles that don’t sit behind a paywall.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm not a designer either. So, I'm not quite sure about the psychological effects centered content has on people. It looked aesthetically pleasing, so I kept it. In fact, you can modify the entire home page if you just want to keep the grpahQL and database part.
I think the point is that they use an in-house generic, priced at their normal revenue, to get a 180d monopoly and establish a second brand. This is all on top of their existing monopoly from the original patent.
I'm surprised by how cheap the vulnerabilities market is. A good exploit, against a popular product like Chrome, selling for 100k or even $1M may sound like a lot, but it's really pennies for any top software firm. And $1M is still a lot for a vulnerability by market prices.

You can do so much damage/return with an exploit that affects > 30% of the population. Get 5 of those and sky is the limit.

Not sure why you're downvoted. Also noticed that everyone uses statistics because you're expected to, but hardly anyone knows how to do it right.
Reputation plays a big part in it on both sides. Most buys are not Zerodium and putting themselves out there as buyers. So, there is a certain degree of vouching that happens as someone introduces a buyer to a seller.

So, when either party violates the agreement, it reflects poorly on that person who made the introduction, making it harder for them to make those connections in the future. And, these introductions matters, most sellers don't want to just sell to anyone, there needs to be some trust that who you're selling to will be selling it to friendly governments or whatever. Its not like a craigslist ad where you sell to just anyone who answers.

So that acts as a deterrent on the buyer side. It'll be harder to get new sellers if you have a poor, or no reputation.

On the seller side, you're not going to get too many people willing to vouch for you as you start burning bridges by selling non-working exploits.

And on that, the payment scheme acts as a deterrent, like teh great-grandparent said:

> grey-market sales are valued on continuous access; you get paid over a period of time, and if the bug you sold dies, you stop getting paid.

That is, you might get XX Thousand upfront, and then an agreed upon XXX thousand based on the exploit surviving XX days.

So trying to scam the buyer will net you a small amount of the total at best, but I mean, often times they'll hold payment until its confirmed and contracts are written and signed over these sales too, its not under the table payments or anything for the most part. Legitimate business transactions.

So, I guess to sum it up, reputation and a demonstrated, or atleast vouched for past record. There is a lot of trust on both sides.
It seems there's a lot of parallels between this and advertising in general. I understand the sentiment and feel the same way about advertising's negative effects, and how predatory a lot of marketing is - especially marketing targeted toward children.

But it's kind of "exit through the gift shop," right? All you wanted to do was ride the roller coaster, but now you've got all of these trinkets and refreshing beverages that you can touch and pick up, but you just can't have without paying. And to me that just seems part and parcel of modern capitalism, so I'm not really in favor of outlawing a particular flavor of it.

Presumably the article is talking about Canadian tax laws, whereas the parent is talking about US tax laws.
It sounds like you followed good steps, but actually de-validated your product. Back to the drawing board ...
I don't think that parent comment means "you need to spend hours slaving over a personal website for me to look at". A unique site could be raw HTML with some links to projects. Or you could just not have a site and let your GitHub/LinkedIn/resume speak for itself. A cookie cutter site like this is arguably worse than no site because of how generic and uninspired it is

That's a pretty much normal outcome of Rot-Rot-Grün government. A lot of populist slogans before elections and not much done after.

Also, they decried a "moratorium" on new underground lines, which are very much needed, with the growth of the city. It's especially visible in the North an NW parts.

I strongly agree. Although, to quibble, I think calling it strict moderation is selling it short. In addition to having coherent standards, dang is thoughtful, fair, and tolerant. I say this having been on the wrong end of quite a few warnings. If this forum is ruled with an iron fist, it sure has a thick layer of velvet around it. All moderation is subjective, but dang does a great job of staying intellectually honest and true to the site's mission. I very much get the old school hacker vibe.

Thanks dang for doing a great job.
This reminds me of a (possibly unrelated) incident involving a C-130A that broke up in flight while serving as a fire-fighter water-bomber. It turns out the original material 7075-T6 wore too quickly and should've been the revised material 7075-T7531. Even C-130B's through C-130E's weren't fully-upgraded with the recommended engineering changes.

The fundamental difference is that calculus, physics, type theory etc are all studies of what is. The goal is simply to describe and predict the world.

Ethics is the study of what one ought to do. It purports to lift some values over other and define morality, meanings, and legitimate goals.

These two - positive versus normative - are fundamentally different types of discussion and knowledge.

Just consider: A physics course in Nazi Germany or Communist Russia would likely teach the same thing as a physics course in Stanford. An ethics course absolutely would not. Consider why and what that means.
> Thanks for the feedback. I'm not a designer either. So, I'm not quite sure about the psychological effects centered content has on people. It looked aesthetically pleasing, so I kept it.

This thinking can be dangerous. Aesthetically pleasing != good design, too often it can be the opposite. You definitely need to understand the "psychological effects" your page or app has on its users. First, you have to put yourself in their mind, then can you start building, then go back and iterate.

I know this may be a hobby project without much budget, so find a designer friend and bring them on board. It's very difficult to do this in a vacuum.

Calling the Friedrichstraße a popular shopping street is not really correct. It's pretty crowded by foot and car traffic because it's close to Checkpoint Charlie and not far from the Brandenburger Tor.
But it's not very popular. For normal customers, new soulless shopping malls have been built in other areas. For luxury shopping, people go to Kurfürstendamm. There's a small shopping mall that's 80% empty (Quartier 205 or 206).
The idea to close the street for traffic is also to see if it makes it more popular again. But then it should be done during the week,too.

Notoriously bad? Compared to what cities? It's certainly one of the better ones in Germany, if not even the best. You can absolutely get around in Berlin without a car.

The other larger cities and conglomerations in Germany don't compare favourably, with Rhine-Ruhr (which stretches roughly from Cologne to Dortmund) being particularly bad.

In Europe Berlin's public transport system probably is only rivalled by those in London, Paris and Amsterdam.
Agreed. People talking in the top-rated comments of this thread seem to think 1M is a lot of money for a vulnerability that could cost Apple lifetime customer value 10-100x the amount they’re offering in bounty.
It's probably a law issue. Is it illegal to lie and deceive to make money? No. Is it illegal to destroy the Earth's eco system? Only if it's intended as an act of terror. Is it illegal to mislead the share holders? Yes. So that's the crime they can prosecute.
What gets me is the hypocrisy of the US. If it's a US industry/company under threat then it's a national security issue. If a foreign country has any protectionist policies, then they're communists and subject to sanctions and/or invasion and/or having their government toppled.

I guess it's pretty straightforwardly self-serving, but surely all the other countries' economy's who get carelessly trashed constitute a bigger national security issue!
How much government control would you need to make you happy? Where is the line that determines who has right to the domain? I think if you add any level of enforcement it would lead to too much chaos.

In either case it would not help startups. Lets say you decide to open a company named "Banana". How do you envision taking ownership of banana.com? :)

New companies have a luxury of picking ANY name, and a name for which domain is not taken. There are lots of practices on name picking.

Well I'm glad you don't see that, but I'm a bit confused why you think I said it because I didn't say it and don't believe it. I said that ML is "powerful," not "more powerful."

What crosses my personal threshold is not that it is done on a computer, but the scale of it. I would be fine with a small website that does not have a significant presence doing it. Once this website became as large as Facebook or Google, it stops being acceptable (the exact threshold naturally being fuzzy).

I would be similarly bothered if this was somehow done manually by a bunch of government spies dispersed all over cities, using pencils and paper. Of course this is impossible, but it shows that neither computers, nor cyberspace, nor the entity doing it are essential components for it to be bothersome. Computers only play a role in this insofar that they make it possible to scale this.

That would be a scam if bug on the grey market are paid over time until fixed.

Then Apple could buy and fix ASAP so the researcher get screwed. So yeah it’s cheaper but if someone notice just wait for the backfire!
Guaranteed one time payement seem like the fair way to go.
Yup, it doesn't feel exactly fair too. There's a voice inside of me that says: "It takes me almost a year to save that amount of money, and these people get it for free because they couldn't resist to spend money they didn't have?". But let's just accept that the world is not fair, and it will never be.

I still feel great for the people who were in serious financial trouble and are not anymore. Let's just hope they see it as an incentive to never be in that situation again.
People need to stop writing stuff about distributed systems if they won’t explicitly talk about the P in CAP theorem.

What happens here in the event of a network partition? There are several failure modes possible if I’m reading the diagram right. Network failure between the Aurora node and the shared storage layer.

I would expect that to result in a failed transaction and rollback, right? That’s not really all that available though, is it?

What about a network partition between availability zones? Maybe your local thinks it has a quorum because it can no longer see a different AZ? What happens when the partition is healed? How do the nodes reconcile? What if you’re working with multiple AZs and you have application nodes in each AZ writing to a cluster of nodes that all think they have a quorum because they can’t see each other?

What happens to those writes after the partition? Is every transaction terminated rolled back because us-east-1 can’t see us-west-3?

If they aren’t, how do the nodes achieve consensus? Are we doing a mongoDB thing here and just tossing everything after the last shared state? And even if that does work out,

What’s going on? And how is it achieved.

Look, if you need transactions at all, you most likely need isolation level: serializable. And that’s incredibly hard to get right.

Many systems really don’t need any of that at all, but when you need it, it has to be right.

This doesn’t address any of the really hardest parts of distributed systems. It doesn’t address why I would take any application at all that stores data in a RDBMS and use this.

I’m sure everyone there on that team is working hard. But people have to stop writing about distributed systems like this.
7 and Z have far less disruptive fixes.

For 7, just make the top long and the slash slanty. Don't do that for 1.

For Z, give the top a very slight curve, and optionally do the same for the bottom. That is, bend the middle of the line in toward the center of the letter. It might be enough to just imagine doing this, so that you don't end up with a curve going the other way. Give the 2 a proper curve instead of a sharp corner, and it will look different.
Understandable, but something like an EpiPen and a lot of other very well established things like say, insulin. They're well within the realm of a stable generic that can be managed as to maximize the amount of lifes it improves. Right?
Harder than you might think. Who gets to control the server being compromised?

1. The buyer or someone the buyer trusts, then the buyer can log all the network traffic and find the incoming attack traffic and work out the exploit from there.

2. The seller or someone the seller trusts, can backdoor the software to fake it.

3. Someone they both trust, that would require they have some mutual contacts which while possible I wouldn't count on it.

4. A random victim, more possible, but neither party would want to risk prematurely burning the exploit.

And of course there are a ton of exploits that are not remote, all sorts of local privilege escalations, and there are partial exploits that are sold. Like a multistage exploits like say just the exploit to escape a sandbox, or even just an exploit that requires a memory leak could be sold without a memory leak, or just selling the memory leak. Obviously a fully weaponized exploit sells for the most, but there are buyers for stages also.
I find this comment puzzling, since uberjars are the normal deployment model of Clojure apps and they work well.

Are you referring to a situation where you are developing macros and end up doing something at compile time that should happen at runtime? Or maybe a situation where you put your application logic in statements outside function definitions, possibly copied from a REPL session?

Deployment Manifests That Work in Development and Production
This is a highly complex subject that - among other aspects - involves enterprise sales, the peculiarities that come with it and the inherent complexity and variation within larger companies and different industries.

If you really want to do this the key word for a solution here is "industry-specific". A huge part of why SAP ERP is such a complex beast is that it needs to accommodate each industry and each edge case.

An industry-specific ERP system could ignore that and focus on the particular requirements of a specific industry, which if properly executed should result in a much better UX.

Last year we moved to place a bit outside city. Previously, waking up on weekends meant planning a hike somewhere. Now we are just like "hey it's pretty nice just to chill here, lets just stay home". Sure, travel is more about discovering something new, but from beauty side, it sometimes even annoys me how pretty NZ is.

Culture wise, I keep saying NZ is like 50s in US - tons of new expats, everyone with decent background, keen to work hard. Most of Europe and US has now second generation foreigners which is not that interesting. Simple number: software teams I worked on only had 10-30% of kiwi's.
