I read it as saying our 3-d world can be encoded in ways other than a stream of x y z coordinates. Possibly a stream of 1-d "a" coordinates, which are translated to our reality by folding the "a" stream in different directions like a physical hologram.
A wiki's not the same usecase as static site, a static site is for marketing and wikis are for project management. I mean maybe people would use it if it weren't crappy? I would've been happier if the wiki didn't exist and I didn't invest time into wrangling it. ATM it's just a frustration.

It's not dataloss but it deletes text in the same line as wiki internal links. And what kind of wiki doesn't use lots of internal links. https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/67132 This basically makes the wiki unusable but it's marked as "backlog".

If you really do feel this way about the wiki then it should be clearly marked in your marketing. I read about your "integrated devops experience" and was onboard, but if your intent is as you say then you need to put parentheses next to the wiki feature item list that says "this is crap and we intend for it to stay crap" and we'll know to value it appropriately when choosing a provider.
A centralized system may be susceptible to large bad actors such as Google but a p2p decentralized system is susceptible to large numbers of small bad actors. We simply haven't cracked the hard problem of trust and so we're stuck delegating to large authorities.

In some ways this is reminiscent of the history of civilization, where people band together for protection against marauders. In exchange for protection, we become vulnerable to tyranny.
There's a ton of them coming out of China:

Well, you'll need positive cash flow sooner or later if you want to stay in business. But the advantages the op attributes to positive cash flow are really advantages of having money in the bank. The only advantage to having a slightly positive cash flow is that it makes you feel good. If your cash flow is slightly positive but your key people are getting stock options or whatever as a nontrivial part of their compensation, you are actually losing money.
I mean, so is Terraform (kinda).
I understand that it is interesting, but can someone ELI5 what this might be useful for in real life?
To paraphrase a comment that I read on Hacker News: "I don't care. If there comes another piece of shit language that makes me money, I'll use it"
how about websites using nonsense css-classes usually autogenerated through frameworks that make scrapping difficult ? I'm sure this ruling doesn't cover that case ?
well globally I wish authorities would rule that public data should be published in computer accessible format e.g pdf's for humans and xblr's / csv for machines e.g in financial reports. lots of data in pdf's that costs a ton to mine. & tools like AWS Textract are hardly up to task.
The corruption is how the courts actually enforce these funny money debts rather than doing the right thing and dismissing them. Barring a proper contract (which the sheer majority of these outrageous bills inherently lack), the basis for owing the debt is unjust enrichment. But that means a patient should at most be paying the lower of the medicare/medicaid/insurance negotiated prices - it shouldn't be a license for the hospital to simply make up any number and play poker.

I don't think we definitively need single payer, but we do need uniform (per provider) pricing and price transparency. (Although allowing everyone to buy into medicare/medicaid would be a no-brainer)

Barring systematic reform, I'd really like to see a trend of "healthcare extortion trusts" to keep everyone's life savings safe from these vampires.
“Have been thinking about the topic of open-source licensing for a while now.”
Yes, and? GP was very clear that this is a comparison to show how quickly it can be done when it's proprietary and not open source.
> For tools that depends on network effects to provide value (such as P2P), the on-boarding process and learning curve are quite important to reaching the required levels of adoption.

Yet all the examples I gave (rotary dial phones, 8 track players, VCRs) had very high rates of adoption. But I'm sure that there were people from generations once or twice removed from the introduction of such technologies that never really learned how to use them.
So apparently it had A/C in bedrooms but not other areas. Host suggested leaving doors open and having a fan redirect air from bedroom(s) to living area. Looks like guests were looking to work while on a trip, so wanted and expected A/C throughout.

I can see both sides. On the one hand it did have A/C —just not central A/C. On the other hand it was (they claim 100F) and were trying to “work from home.” On the other hand it was $60/night equivalent...

It’s kinda borderline. What would judge Judy decide? Split the diff?
Avoiding NullPointerException in Java
I'd be hard-pressed to name any notably bad days at work in the last 6 months, and it's definitely not because every day is stressful. I'm not even sure why you think that's unusual unless you've had jobs exclusively in very unpleasant workplaces.
Basecamp's problems seem particularly well suited to a batteries included CRUD framework. There are plenty of problems out there that aren't CRUD-centric
The 'airdrop' analogy doesn't really capture anything about the involvement of branching ledgers, so it doesn't seem entirely unfair to use the same giveaway jargon the community's previously used. But definitely, a different mechanism is involved here.
Even if the case was tried today, 9th Cir. isn't binding on other regions of the US, and there's a bit of a split, as detailed in the opinion[1]:

> In recognizing that the CFAA is best understood as an anti-intrusion statute and not as a “misappropriation statute,” we rejected the contract-based interpretation of the CFAA’s “without authorization” provision adopted by some of our sister circuits. Compare Facebook, Inc. v. Power Ventures, Inc., 844 F.3d 1058, 1067 (9th Cir. 2016), cert. denied, 138 S. Ct. 313 (2017) (“[A] violation of the terms of use of a website—without more— cannot establish liability under the CFAA.”); Nosal I, 676 F.3d at 862 (“We remain unpersuaded by the decisions of our sister circuits that interpret the CFAA broadly to cover violations of corporate computer use restrictions or violations of a duty of loyalty.”), with EF Cultural Travel BV v. Explorica, Inc., 274 F.3d 577, 583–84 (1st Cir. 2001) (holding that violations of a confidentiality agreement or other contractual restraints could give rise to a claim for unauthorized access under the CFAA); United States v. Rodriguez, 628 F.3d 1258, 1263 (11th Cir. 2010) (holding that a defendant “exceeds authorized access” when violating policies governing authorized use of databases).

weev was tried in an area under the 3rd Cir. jurisdiction. Somewhat interestingly, his conviction was thrown out in 2014 on venue grounds (e.g. being tried in NJ), without addressing the statutory question.[2]

I have this nasty feeling that for the scale mentioned the whole logic can be safely run on a single high performance server with the decent database. Those little servers around can either run on the same server or placed on separate server/s around the main one. All nice and simple and no distributed transaction problems.
Terraform supports first-tier cloud providers, but the other way around?
Google search also has a hidden cost and lock in. It’s likely that most products you find through Google and which you also see ads for are forced to pay Google 20-40% of the retail price in ads (passed onto the consumer) due to a lack of competition in search. And this number is not going down over time and Google has no incentive to make it go down (such as by innovating in ways people discover what they need so that it becomes cheaper).

Not only that but the consumer doesn’t directly pay this Google tax, and thus does not attribute this cost to Google.
I would discourage this, as it will lead to banner blindness. Only pop a banner up if you want the user to read and react to it. Otherwise, they'll just get used to the banner being there and will often times not read it at all.
I have absolutely seen this sort of thing in a major US city.

Insurance is a form of subsidy, that is inherent in splitting the cost of a shared risk. If you have health insurance and do not need to claim, you are providing a subsidy for those who do and vice versa. You are also, on top of that, subsidising the company itself, assuming it is run to generate profit for owners and investors.
3D Terrain Modelling in Python
I mean, I’m not sure how you do it over there, but here in dystopian euro-socialist Ireland (in real life, we’ve had mostly center-right coalitions for the last century, but we do have a health-care system and so on), no, the government very much won’t take your house for inability to pay property tax. There would be a revolution.

Property tax is also much lower here than nearly anywhere in the US, of course; typically 0.18% of the 2013 value for homes (so about 0.1% of current value in practice). Typically, if you can’t pay, they’ll collect when you sell or die. Income tax is much higher than anywhere in the US for mid to high income people, of course, but it’s harder to be hit with unexpected income tax.

The Irish healthcare system is far from perfect, by the way. Public hospital care is free for everyone(except for a capped per-night charge at 750 euro per year unless you’re low income) and primary care is free for low income people, the elderly, and young children, but there’s still a gap where lowish-income people can struggle with it, and public waiting lists for elective procedures can be long. But no-one’s going bankrupt over it, so there’s that.
K8s is the only IaC platform with heavy buy in by all the major public clouds.
Not OP.
But that’s a hypothetical for a company who is already in business and is betting on a product. Right? Like Sony betting on the next gen console by selling it at a $100 loss but then make it up later when they take hold of the market. But that’s Sony and one of their products. I see Moral Hazard as an example of that.

Nowadays it’s almost every company betting their whole business hoping that their product will come out on top or they’ll let the public pay for the debt through IPOs.
Slavery in the Quaker World
Mainly for learning the letters of the greek alphabet. I have an Anki deck for that. Why? Because those symbols are so frequently used in math, and I instinctively try to subvocalize mathematical symbols in my head when I see them, and if I see a symbol I can't "pronounce" something in my brain puts an "ABORT! ABORT!!!" message in the queue. So even if I don't know what, say, "xi" means in a given context, if I can at least have the pronunciation as a placeholder, parsing can continue, and I can look up the details after I've read the passage I'm working on.
There’s kind of a middle ground where Rails is widely-used enough that it has this advantage over stuff like Elixir, but by the same token the Python, Java, and probably .Net ecosystems have the same advantage over Rails.
List of Investigational Antidepressants
Please stop spreading nonsense. The syntax that may be a bit unfamiliar to uninitiated stops being an issue within literally hours. It takes a few days to completely become comfortable with it. I have seen people learning Clojure as their first language, I've seen people coming from other languages. But I have never met anyone who actually wrote Clojure for a few months and still couldn't get used to the syntax. Only people who are completely unfamiliar with the language do sometimes complain about the syntax. Because again - to uninitiated it doesn't look very familiar. Just like indo-arabian numerals looked strange to Europeans in 13th century.
Also different time scale.

I am on existing stuff can be readily used.
You are probably estimating the future, I guess?
"If this case is eventually decided in favor of hiQ, scrapers can no longer be blocked."

If the case is decided in favour of hiQ, then, absent an injunction, what would prevent a website from blocking a scraper? Maybe the website could still block unless and until the scraper gets her lawyers to file an injunction.

Another interpretation is that if hiQ wins, then in the 9th Circuit's jurisdiction websites serving public information they neither own nor exclusively license may no longer try to to use the CFAA and/or copyright law to threaten scrapers.
I'm expected to appear busy ;-)
Sorry what do you mean by that? Consul, Ansible, Prometheus and other parts of the stack we maintain all have their upstreams.

If you mean running a managed Kubernetes in the cloud, would love to that but for our workflows we have to run on prems for most of the infrastructure. It's a lot of data and compute. A bit like saying google should use aws for their internal services.
Going over the timeline, I find these things very odd:

> 2018-11-12: Sarah Jamie Lewis reaches out to Vancouver Coastal Health Privacy Office (VCH-P) with information about the breach.

> 2019-03-04: Sarah Jamie Lewis meets with two journalists and demonstrates the pager breach. This meeting was not recorded and this meeting is never followed up on.

> 2019-07-23: During an interview with journalist Francesca Fionda, on Open Privacy’s research into Swiss election systems, Sarah Jamie Lewis discusses the pager breach.

[...]

> 2019-08-15: Sarah Jamie Lewis reaches out to the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner for B.C. (OIPC), offering to help aid any investigation they wish to undertake in regards to this data breach.

They waited nine months before contacting the provincial Privacy Commissioner? They contacted journalists before the OIPC?

I believe many (most?) US hospitals have switched to secure paging services delivered via smartphone. HIPAA pretty much requires it.
TL;DR: Users are unable to maintain private keys securely and conveniently, so instead you use a k-of-n secret sharing scheme to split your private key across multiples nodes. To execute a blockchain transaction you request those nodes to send you the shares so you can reconstruct the private key. How do you authenticate yourself to the nodes? With a password[1].... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[1] Presumably one at least as strong as the private key you couldn't securely and conveniently store.
I remember working that day (a cool and sunny Tuesday) and each place I went to I asked them to turn on the TV. Nobody was interested in turning on the TV or even changing the channel to any news channel.

What I thought had happened was a large aircraft accidentally ran into the Empire State building again like had happened many years ago.

Sometimes it’s better to be cautious and err on the side of not releasing something safe, than to err on the side if releasing something dangerous.
The entire Unix operating system was developed at Bell Labs which was then broken up by the US government along with the rest of AT&T. This led it to being commercialised and distributed. Who knows what would come out of Google if everything they did wasn't locked in a monorepo inside a single organisation.
His responses leave an incredibly sour taste in my mouth. Not only is he obviously short sighted with his "Python 2 is not the past and Python 3 is not the future" but all his responses just sound like someone who got up on the wrong side of the bed. Every morning.
Unregulated pricing is not corruption. Words have meaning.
It's a trade-off. As a user of a third-party library, I would like to upgrade it to get new functionality. But there are breaking changes in the update.

So to upgrade I would have to fix all users of the library to upgrade. While this is better overall for the codebase, it can put a lot of work on others for a not well maintained third-party library. Something like TS has people that help keep it updated. But for something more obscure, it'll be on someone else who cares enough to put in the work.
We’ve seen nearly 30 years of web-of-trust failure and yet you still think it’s a workable idea?
Nope. You can see public profiles without being logged in. Certainly the case here in the UK; not sure about elsewhere.
The rich real estate guys I know phrase this as "you make all the money on the day you buy". That is, they want to buy from desperate owners, so that prices are so low they are guaranteed profits. Lots of businesses are more desperate in recessions.
Cleaning the room comes first (as metaphor). Then things will start to align around that and your new, more mature self, will signal you what's the new best use of your time/resources.
But the net positive is that we are able to provide an increasingly unified experience for DevOps.

The point of the GP and others where that as of now there is nothing positive about the "unified experience for DevOps", it is very buggy and lacking, maybe someday.
It's really no different from a fork. Keep copies of the repository at both companies. Then let things run its course (engineers deleting unused code etc).
What are the essential features in these applications, are they not working on standardized methods? There's one on F-Droid which probably isn't selling your period, so if they're mostly similar, maybe that's an option.
It's actually 35 years. But still.
Merge request to link to our definition of PNPS: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/www-gitlab-com/merge_requests/.... Should be merged momentarily.
I mean assembling the stack yourself, basically, especially since you're adding features by creating particular arrangements out of the ensemble. There are always more edge cases. It's easier to let someone else handle them.

You'll note that Google don't manufacture their own RAM, don't operate hydroelectric plants, buy CPUs from Intel and so on. That they could plausibly do any of these things themselves satisfactorily, possibly even better than their suppliers can, doesn't make it the right choice. There is an opportunity cost for doing so.

It's economics 101: gains from trade.
Imagine how much money you could make by creating a bogeyman bitcoin wallet!

Step 1, Consolidate 94,000 BTC into one single address the entire crypto world is now watching.

Step 2, Send 1,000 BTC from bogeyman bitcoin wallet to exchange crypto wallet.

Step 3, Freak the shit out of the market. Promptly sell the entire lot in one single market sell order.

Meanwhile you've got another 50,000 BTC or whatever sitting on contracts leveraged with 100x margin in a short position across multiple accounts... essentially netting you 100,000 BTC profit if you can manage to tank the price just 2% on the 3 funds that Bitmex follows to create their index price... and you totally would selling 1,000 BTC at once from a well known superwallet.

Rinse and repeat... Eventually, I imagine you wouldn't even need to sell the coins on the exchange... just moving them there would be enough... (which would probably be illegal at least in the USA, see below)

And when the market gets wise... and everybody else starts shorting the price when you move your coins... you BUY 1,000 BTC in a single market order... stop hunting everyone's "sure things" (with mostly tight stops) and probably making you 500% return on a 5% move the opposite way... placed on longs of course.

(I am working on an algo bot, I think about this kind of stuff all day long!)

I had better start saving!

Side question... would this be legal? Moving the coins to exchange, signalling that you were going to sell based on precedent, and then not selling would be illegal by the nature of equities laws on fake bid or ask walls to move the price... like some trader at goldman was just arrested over for doing the same in the gold markets.

But just selling a lot of coin while you have another lot of coin in short positions would be perfectly legal, right?

Ballerina, a language with structural type system
Maybe it is "incredibly expensive", can't argue with this. Have hot standby database servers then located elsewhere. Still way simpler
I saw Balint Seeber give a fascinating talk about discovering the use of unencrypted pagers in hospitals, with messages full of personal information available too anyone with an SDR (and his particular brand of persistence to work out how to discover the modulation/encoding to get the text out.)

It's mentioned in passing in this talk description from 2011:

https://2011.ruxcon.org.au/2011-talks/all-your-rfz-belong-to...

" ... and security-through-obscurity in hospital pager systems."

I'm 99% certain I saw him give that talk at Dorkbot in Sydney, which make it maybe 5 or more years earlier than that...
Thanks, and please keep up the feedback. =)
Metasploit isn't the best choice for webapps, you probably want nikto or similar. Here's the owasp list: https://www.owasp.org/index.php/Category:Vulnerability_Scann...
Maybe a better way to describe it is as a venn diagram. If there are circles with "lefty" things and "righty" things, you took (as HN tends to do) the whole lefty circle. That includes things in the center, but not those on the right.
