They don't upload the library just their filename and hash. Probably for bug troubleshooting, device fingerprinting and feature availability data. It's a bit much, device fingerprinting like this should get you banned from the play store. However there are legitimate uses for this.
Everyone's downvoting you but your hypothesis, but I think it seems easily falsifiable and would be fun to investigate. It might be worthwhile to do a simple data analysis of submissions mentioning such companies around those dates to see if the correlation exists, then do a bit more to see if how attributable it is to marketing ploys from the companies themselves.
That’s a good point you bring up...where do we draw the line? Lots of projects use Debian and docker, etc...is it even ethical to donate to an npm package before donating to the dozens of free tech layers node sits on top of?
Fetching a module from GitHub often requires cloning the repository, when all you needed was the contents of a specific version, or even just the go.mod to do version resolution. The proxy protocol provides the artifacts you need, for sometimes a 10x bandwidth saving.

(Also, lots of security issues in "go get" came from using git to fetch untrusted repositories.)
Hi, I chose this way because it's a proof-of-concept. Normally this filtering expression would be stored in a BPF map but I didn't invest more time and wanted to keep it simple as an example for writing BPF programs for systemd services.
If someone, for instance, takes control of their repo, then they can upload whatever they like. But that auth can be fairly securely guarded, and it's probably a very hard to do it quietly as packages are signed.

But now they're hosting the ads and potentially allowing remote code execution. Now the attacker only needs to get on to a webserver to deploy a payload. That's why it opens a new vector of attack.

Moreover, if they're able to own the server quietly, they can be deploying whatever they like to a ton of people over time.
That's reasonable. I can see how GDPR would be tricky considering that a core feature is prevention of yanking of crates, a right that GDPR guarantees.

I can also see why people might have concerns about Google Analytics. I'm happy that crates.io has removed it.

But this is likely not the point that GP was making. His FUD about analytics was somehow implying that module download statistics could somehow be used for nefarious purposes.
Are you keeping it in a plastic bag? That traps the moisture that lets it mold. A proper bread box is designed to let bread dry out slowly so it doesn't mold.
Because the device has been tampered with, period.

Nothing prevents you from using it as usual. It's essentially just Apple writing "battery has been replaced by not-us, please don't blame us if this doesn't perform as expected or like, explode" in more obscure wording in their system settings.

It doesn't work with the original battery because... the company selling that IC to Apple didn't design PKI into them? The critique video literally proves this. This authentication scheme is designed by TI.
Fair enough on the hours. But it's not wholly accurate to count the $5/day as a wage. About half of it was a 'bonus' if you met the "socialization" criteria like abstaining from drinking. They would literally perform home inspections. Men would have to give up the bonus if their wives worked. I think people look at this with some revisionist history; it wasn't as altruistic and I (personally) don't think it's an improvement over today.

Not to belabor the point, but it's not a simple one-to-one comparison like the OP was trying to demonstrate. I don't think the wages are nearly as bad as they made it out to be.
I can see the appeal of this, and have given some thought to it.

This is misleading. The support only exists to solve anything to do with accounting or payments.

Google banned a couple of startups in our accelerator because they had interns with integrated sign-in and Google bans all related accounts with absolute impunity.

The customer service said they can only help with billing and also note that you can't even access the settings page to get your pin or phone number.

If your register again, Google will process your payment and ban you immediately after that due to related accounts. This is in their terms and conditions.

With chrome auto sign in , it's becoming easier for them to find related accounts.
If it’s used like a library where’s the data stored? Sorry if this is obvious
Awesome. I love the direction Firefox is heading now that Chrome is a pain to use.
What if it's a support contract that entitles you to a response to support requests on the basis of 'in less than twenty-four hours' as opposed to the usual 'I might respond on a best effort basis if I have time, but no promises'? Would that make it past accounting?

I agree, today marks my last day in employment with no job lined up due to burnout. A large part of what makes software development so unpleasant is Atlassian tools and they culture they foster. Ultimately the wider problem is business level implementations of scrum as a means to deskill, overload and remove the ability to display mastery from developers; but a company using Atlassian tools is a strong indicator they care more about metrics and permissions and tracking than letting developers work, in my experience.
RNNs are still useful in actual time-dependent sequences like activity detection, self-driving car steering etc. though even those are getting enhanced by using attention; use of RNNs in NLP was more of a necessity as there were no other Deep Learning models capable of delivering some results on arguably sequential nature of NLP (let's say that is a quite imperfect assumption). As attention allows viewing the whole input at once, it's easier for non-linear optimizer to set meaningful weights without getting into recursion, though that comes at massive memory cost (i.e. forget about using 2080Ti for NLP).

The beef intolerance argument isn't convincing at all because an overwhelming majority of Indians don't eat beef. Taleb's argument is not that a majority can force its will on the minority, it is the exact opposite of that.

I'd expect that they're doing this because they'd like to diagnose crashes or bugs on systems that they don't have the hardware for. It's still somewhat creepy and possibly a fingerprinting mechanism.

> If your company doesn't believe that burnout is an issue and ignores your "no"s, gives you zero control over what is on your plate, and pressures you culturally, then to take back control, you are stuck fighting another battle on top of burnout.

It's even worse than this because, all of the factors you mention are actual risk factors for burnout (pressures, lack of control, isolation, fighting)
I think it depends on the purpose.

Instagram is great for sharing quick stories of interesting things throughout your day and for photographers who want to showcase their work to a casual audience. Snap is great if you're younger and want a more contained experience.

If I want to get rid of something that I don't use anymore or get a quick pulse of my neighborhood, I find Nextdoor very useful since everyone is verified.

LinkedIn is still great for getting a quick pulse on a company, team makeup, how they're growing, etc. It's not great, but it's better than nothing.

Pinterest is still a great way to collaborate on creative projects with other people. Especially if you're exploring something very visual.

Reddit/Twitter still have great interest-oriented content though you have to dig a bit to find the signal amongst the noise. Once you tune your subreddits and twitter feeds, they can be productive places.

The point I'm trying to make here is that there's no ONE social network that'll be great for everything. Just like there's no ONE social circle or social structure in real life that you rely on for everything.

Each of these networks have their issues but if you take the time to extract the value out of them, it can be productive. Of course, they can be used in unproductive ways as well. I've experienced both extremely productive and unproductive sides of each.

You're doing the same thing you're criticising, being dismissive of my concern.

> If you don't want to use proxy.golang.org, use goproxy.io

Yes, I can do that, but as I mentioned in my original post having to get an entire team of people and fleet of CI systems to use a non-standard configuration which is not communiciable in the project repo is a minor PITA.

If and when proxy.golang.org has a bad day, builds will fail. Go developers will have a bad day. Having the ability to work around it doesn't make it not a lynchpin.

As for the "FUD about analytics being collected" it was an offhanded quip. I thought it read pretty clearly as not entirely serious hence the prefix "The cynical side of me feels" and not "I feel". It doesn't merit the effort of defending.

This is an interesting update on the state of iris detection, but I don't think "stolen eyeball" is a realistic threat model that you would have to protect yourself against. Sure, detecting the difference between an authentic iris and a photo is sensible, but if you have an actor willing to acquire another person's eyeball I can't help but feel like a retina scanner won't be the thing that ultimately foils their plans.
When you start Vim (without arguments) it says "VIM - Vi IMproved" .... "Help poor children in Uganda! type :help iccf<Enter> for information". I just noticed that it actually cycles a few through messages now (version 8.something), so you may have to restart a couple of times to see the message. But IIRC it used to always just display the "help children in Uganda" message.

Oh, I'm not talking about selling ad space. I agree that what Funded did was misguided at best. But what my parent was responding to was the idea of even putting a little ad for a paid product by the same developer or company.

> I work on Enterprise projects and we rarely (never) contribute back financially

I work on Enterprise projects and we almost always buy support contracts, for both paid-license and open-source software, if they are available; you don't need creative licensing models to get enterprise to pay for open source software, you just need to provide an opportunity to pay to have a live person respond to and manage issues for enterprise customers.

Totally, totally this.

To make an analogy, many companies seem to be run by a crazy crossfit overtainer dragging everyone else into workouts that are like the Bataan Death March.
Someone who has passion in the field is something I've seen companies prefer, almost more than a specific skill set as as person who has passion has a much greater willingness to learn/adapt. I am not directly associated with the hiring process.

If you have 100 candidates who all can pass the test to get to the point where there are tasks to work on. Let's assume 10 all apply for the same task at a company. If all applicants pass the test, how to you figure which would be a better fit?

What could be used is to allow an individual to showcase past projects they have done to help a company determine which of the applicants would be better suited for what they are trying to accomplish.

I want to clarify to that this would be for personal/pet projects they worked on in their own time, not for another company or where they were paid to do it. This helps show a level of genuine interest if you are doing a project for the love of learning or to self motivate and fix a problem where there is no solution.

Indeed. I was reading the dqlite page thinking "where is the monitoring endpoint to tell if the cluster is healthy or degraded?" Too often that seems like an afterthought if it's thought of at all.

I have a teeny, tiny cluster using MySQL+galera as a multi-master cluster, but it took a while to iterate to monitoring that tells me when one node is unhealthy and getting the correct repair and restart procedures.
I don't know why I was downvoted so much, I am totally in agreement with you. I have owned MIPS helmets since they have come out.

I also read the article first and reached out to my bike shop about it. I think the tech is great, I do find percentages that big to be a bit questioning, so I will do more research on them. Meaning, how much is hype vs actual, it looks awesome though, and we need something like this.

I didn't make my comment until I noticed that it only took 9 minutes to get that article in the top of the top on here and was just curious how that happens. ie, actual people reading, how many people need to vote on it to get it to the top, vs pay to play top ranking. Was asking a serious question too, I have no idea I am pretty new to HN and I know that Reddit is pay to play,

Thanks for the post though, I am interested and if it makes sense will probably invest in one of these
In this case they want to preserve directions rather than e.g. area or distance, so Mercator is suitable. (You can click the tabs on the right side to see polar projections.)
I'm not a pilot, but from what I have read many pilots actually prefer mechanical linkage to the control surfaces.

It’s obvious why it’s designed that way: to reduce the distraction of using the phone while driving. If you have the dash showing one thing and you’re doing something else on the phone, you’re now potentially doubly distracted from operating the two ton lethal steel weapon you’re supposed to be paying attention to.

You may not agree with the design choice, but it’s completely obvious why they made it that way.

The case where then passenger needs to do something is rare enough when compared to the safety issues. In design you also need to weigh and make trade offs.
So... You're not keeping up with the news are you?

If there's anything that's causing the pharma controversy to stall, it's that the cross section of companies involved have significant non pharmaceutical revenue bases to pull from in funding their defense.

Also, to be quite frank, pharma is getting legislative, not just judicial attention as well. There is a reckoning in the works for quite a few industrial verticals.

However, where things are different with aviation is that every last person on each plane had absolutely no ability to influence what ended up happening. The documentation around the process is also far better and more auditable than the collective sales activity of every actor in the pharmaceutical industry.

Give it time. These things require proof, and proof takes time to collect and sift through.
Isn't that a much weaker claim you're making than what Taleb sets off to argue for in the beginning of the article? The article begins with the following:

> It suffices for an intransigent minority –a certain type of intransigent minorities –to reach a minutely small level, say three or four percent of the total population, for the entire population to have to submit to their preferences.

It's a far cry from that claim -- that a minority as small as 3-4% can force the majority to submit to the will of the minority -- to the claim that a majority will accomodate a minority as long as extra cost incurred by the majority is not too much. The former is an unbelievably strong claim while the latter is obvious and inane.
yes, it uses the same technology.

Yet it's still loaded with hundreds of KB of custom fonts, because the designers would rather I look at a blank page for a couple seconds than gaze upon their design with a typeface that isn't exactly the same one they have on their computer.

My resolution, window size, color settings, text zoom, font rendering, etc, are almost certainly different, too, but at least they've made the page more than twice as slow by forcing the correct font.

Awesome. I'm looking forward to trying this out. As a PM, I currently use Simplenote to jot down quick requests, or file it in JIRA if time allows. Eager to see if this turns me into a superhero.

Also, it's common to perceive that when these small requests fall through the cracks, its due to poor or lack of process or simply a bad PM! But I would argue that, just like processes breakdown with scaling companies, the same happens with PM's, just on a project level. Cognitive overload is real.
I look forward to the Red Rising.

In all seriousness though this is pretty amazing. Especially in light of how fast this technology appears to be progressing. Seems like we are rapidly approaching being able to utilize biological factories at a small scale.
