Key management between emergency services remains a hard problem. Paramedics often don't have hands free to type information into a terminal, so they use radio, which means keying their handsets, and then classifying the keys for different security levels. e.g if you need to talk to SWAT and other teams, you are going to need a separate channel and key. Police have an interesting case with that as well, where techs that use or distract their hands during stops are a safety issue.

Military communications for a given mission are mainly all in the same security domain so key management is relatively easy. Co-ordinating key management for daily use between police forces, ambulance services, hospitals, fire stations, and other responders is non-trivial.

I do suspect the best possible privacy solution would be a regulation that made personal and health information acquired without explicit consent inadmissible in a civil court case, regulatory tribunal, or other government process, and heavy fines for using it for insurance and credit and licensing other decisions by regulated/protected businesses. Not so much GDPR regs, but just removing legal leverage from the data.

We still need technical security and privacy controls, but creating legal liability for the people who hold and exploit it is the real solution. Agencies can't hide behind, "machine learning," and "random checks," for targeting people. There will be some hard cases, but if you use PII/PHI without explicit informed consent and collection, use and disclosure for specific purposes, you should be handicapped legally, imo.
The version I've heard is: you mess with the bull, you get the horns
Like I said, split the diff. It wasn’t outright deception but it also wasn’t up front about the totality. It didn’t explicitly say either it only had AC in bedrooms nor did it claim to have Central AC.

Plus it was $60/night. Don’t expect Hilton class accommodations for 60/night.

Dang, we were relying on zoom.us for cross-GFW conferencing. It was even more reliable than wechat. Are there any good alternatives, except Skype for Business?
Erm, the apples to apples comparison here is “private” plus “out of pocket” which ends up as $5000 per year in the US and $800 in Germany. Private seems to refer to the premiums, and out of pocket the expenses. Premiums are crazy high.

The traditional approach would be to have an empty state that the object can be put into, ie. classic two-step initialization. This isn't usually too hard since you often need an empty state you can put that kind of object into when it's moved from anyway. Another one is to have a private constructor called from a static function returning a std::expected<your_class, error>.

How would that make the usefulness of RAII go away?

I'm kind of leaning towards AirBnB, because it sounds like the travelers didn't bother with any diligence, which is puzzling when having AC was so critical to their trip.

I think it's reasonable to expect AirBnB hosts, like any seller, to try to bend the truth or hide inconveniences in their listing, and it's up to you, the buyer, to exercise caution, read reviews, or ask the host.

That said, if hotels try that kind of BS, I complain until they refund me or upgrade my room, which has worked 10/10 times. This is one area where hotels have a clear advantage over AirBnB.
We use the same layout template but my tool is older and has a lot more features.
My point is to consider your language. People had strong reactions to books, magazines, radio and TV as they were introduced. Each were considered the end of times by at least someone.

Let's look at some of your bits here: "dominates the area with their annoying sound for no reason", "hate consumer drones", "little more irritating than going out of your way to enjoy a bit of nature and peace and quiet only to have it ruined by an idiot with a drone".

Drones have a purpose, maybe it's just not something you appreciate. Cars dominate areas with their annoying sounds, and I'd suggest that you're more used to their sound so you tune it out. I've been to national parks in dozens of countries around the world and, like you, I appreciate peace and quiet, but I've heard planes and helicopters go over in almost all of them. They're background noise because they are not new, so no one gets outraged. Go to a national park almost anywhere central in the USA and the sky is streaked with contrails that impact every scene and photo for the entire day.

At Kings Canyon last year, someone flew a drone over the area and everyone looked up. Minutes before and after (in fact, most of the day), much much louder scenic helicopters flew a circuit and almost no one reacted at all. (You can get easy permission to fly a drone at Kings Canyon, you're just not meant to fly over the canyon proper and rim.)

Like I said, I suspect most flying drones in parks are not locals so they figure they'll be gone before someone sees their photos online and pulls them up for it.
I like Japanese bread, but I've still yet to see a good baguette in 10 years of living here :-) I'm absolutely certain they exist in some of the big cities, but you have to know where to go. There is a bakery called Chambord that has a have decent baguette, but it drives me crazy because they refuse to bake them before about noon.
I run a VC fund. We move store money around in large amounts (6-7 figure transfers, 7-8 figure balances). Our bank loves us and doesn't charge us any fees for anything ($0 wires etc). Having millions parked with them allows to lend the money which is how they make their revenue. They don't care about fees.
Wouldn't that logic mean the recession will ultimately lead to Gen Y being good/effective leaders?

Personally, I'd counter it was the inequality compression caused by WWII that lead to the prosperity of the 50s and 60s.

Or in other words, on the timescale of decades, the mob of capital doesn't act in its own best interests. Because individual greed overcomes sustainability.
Peirce is, sadly, much underrated. His work on abductive logic/explanation is another rich area for exploration. I actually think it's somewhat unfortunate that he's labeled merely as an american pragmatist. While true, such a classification misses the many ways his work outstrips that school of thought (and outstrips that tradition so much more than Dewey's or James' work, say, could be said to outstrip american pragmatism).
you ok?

Gates was a business shark before the trial. Absolutely ruthless.

It’s hard to say how much of the changes are due to the court case, vs a changing technical landscape, vs the company growing to an enormous size, vs Gates simply getting older, but certainly after there were far fewer stories about his passion for crushing any company that might compete with him.

And promising to support Office on the Mac after Jobs returned to Apple definitely smells of a response to anti-trust concerns, and it was critical at that point in time to Apple.
Of course you get to choose. You can reject requests based on their user agent, their IP address, the owner or likely geographic location of the IP address, and many other possibilities.
There is no official way for 3rd parties to make breach reports to OIPC-BC (nor is there a legal requirement for VCH to report to them) - it was only after Francesca raised the issue during a meeting with the commissioner(regarding breaches in general) we were informed they would be interested in this, and were given an avenue to contact them in a way that an investigation might be authorized.

Right and I would love to leverage Kubernetes instead of our own plumbing of the OSS solutions, I just feel that operating it on prems requires a lot of overhead that simpler tools arranged together do not have, also, when they fail it isn't catastrophic for the most part (except for Consul).
There's not budgeting for fire insurance or security systems, and then there's deliberately building your workplace next door to an asylum for pyromaniacs and across the street from a gas station.

If you built software using Python 2 at any point in the past 5 years, you have no right to complain about the added technical debt of updating to Python 3. But not wanting to incur that technical debt in the first place would also have been a good reason not to use Python 2 in the first place; whether that means adopting Python 3 early or simply using a completely different language.
that's the evil part. They can charge whatever they feel like and there is pretty much nothing you can do besides maybe having a lawyer on retainer.

I was in the 7th grade, and in my Texas History class in the morning when the news hit. We had a television system that would play news broadcasts for the whole school to start off each morning, and as soon as the news broke, the administration turned those on and had all the classrooms tune in.

At first we thought it was a freak accident... and then we saw the second plane hit.

"Shaken" is the word. It was all anyone could think about for the rest of the day.
I will only ever book an Airbnb again if:
- very long stays
- stays with a huge group

My experiences with Airbnb are 90% bad and it keeps getting worse. Also, hotels are usually cheaper, esoeyif you stay 4 or less days
I'll make sure there are some earlier in on the website :)
Sort of the whole point of it is that not everyone comes to the same set of answers. So, dialog ensues as people try to shore up their viewpoints with one another and both are often transformed in the process. That's how a dialectic works.

Before the age of enlightenment, yours was not a commonly held viewpoint. After, it became to be acceptable and then accepted. That's philosophy at work.

I don't think of it as a foundation per se. It's more like a continuous process that carries out over time as individuals interact, the result of which only a small portion is obviously visible with the rest going mostly unnoticed.
It makes sense and it is how the internet works. Servers cherry pick who sees their content all the time. Scrapers are often blocked, as are entire IP address ranges. Things like Selenium server scrapers can be (approximately) detected and often are denied access.

I’m not sure about being anti-competitive. Serving a website is an action in which you open up your resources for others to access. My friend runs an open source stock market tracking website for free. He started getting hit with scrapers from big hedge funds and fintech companies a couple of months back. This costs him around $50-100 a month to serve all of these scrapers.
That’s actually not a bad idea....
Ah yes, the "lefty" concerns of privacy, safety, medicine, public land use, and intellectual property and how they intersect with tech. I somehow always manage to forget that the "righty" folk are disinterested in discussion on how those topics might intersect with tech.

Again, these issues aren't binary, they aren't left v. right, there's much more to understand than just two fixed points. I didn't even dive into any specific issues. Public resources could mean parks or it could mean the Bureau of Land Management, eminent domain or subsidized bus fare. Safety and privacy could be a discussion of the TSA, or gun rights, or immigration, or facial recognition.

Those are obviously concerns that impact a wide group of people, across many different political ideologies.

You are seeing something that isn't there.
If things don't change there will be radical political shifts. Both hard left socialism and hard right fascism are on the table from what I can see. We are in for interesting times.

>I think it's reasonable to expect AirBnB hosts, like any seller, to try to bend the truth or hide inconveniences in their listing

If we all pitched in and shamed dishonest sellers (to the point where there was a culture of honesty), we could all have the reliability of hotels without any of the costs of management. It's like how one of the reasons third world countries are so bad is that there is no social trust.
Isn't that a pretty narrow age group?

Hi, I'm a PM for our linux packages. I'd love to learn more about the cryptic issues and vague errors mention.

We've put a lot of effort towards making the upgrades as painless as possible, with few surprises. One way we've achieved this is by requiring users to update to the last minor version, before making the jump to the next major version, as you note. The reason for doing this, is that we add a lot of validation to that last minor package which checks for any deprecated features/configuration.

This way if you try to upgrade with a configuration that would result in GitLab no longer functioning, we abort the upgrade and tell you exactly why, leaving you with a functional instance in the interim.

Ask HN: Did tech really revolutionize the world in the 2010s?
As the decade nears an end, and having lived in SF for most of it, I’ve started to reflect on this past decade and thinking very hard on how tech has changed the world over the last 10 years.

I will spend more time over the next few weeks and months thinking about it, but my first reaction is that the products and companies we most associate with “tech” today are still the ones that existed before 2010, like Apple, Facebook, Twitter, Netflix, Amazon, and Microsoft, but just at a bigger scale. And as far as “new tech companies” go, large “startups” like Uber and AirBnB were both stared before 2010 and again are really just larger versions of the same idea (e.g. no significant pivot).

Even things like cryptocurrency, namely Bitcoin, was birthed pre-2010.

It seems like a lot of the tech innovation of this decade revolve around enabling scale? And perhaps advances in Machine Learning/AI though I don’t think we’ve yet seen game changing AI quite yet.
Clojure is already bigger than Haskell, F#, ReasonML, Elixir and Elm. It has more podcasts and more meetups, there are more than a dozen of books, almost every European country now has its own regular Clojure conference, there are conferences in India, Canada and Brazil.
It probably will never become "mainstream" but it is slowly and steadily growing.
I'm not a rails user, but if what you're saying was that bad it would've been exploited and fixed already.

Another timeline of events

Training exercises, surprising number of red flags ignored.

According to a quote from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coleen_Rowley

>During the early aftermath of September 11th, when I happened to be recounting the pre–September 11th events concerning the Moussaoui investigation to other FBI personnel in other divisions or in FBIHQ, almost everyone's first question was "Why?—Why would an FBI agent(s) deliberately sabotage a case? (I know I shouldn't be flippant about this, but jokes were actually made that the key FBI HQ personnel had to be spies or moles like Robert Hanssen who were actually working for Osama Bin Laden to have so undercut Minneapolis's effort.)
Elsewhere, you said “if I know I won’t accomplish anything else, I just go home.” What’s the difference between this and surfing the web? The “lie?” I think folks just don’t want their boss to be confronted by the lack of productivity in that moment. Being at home accomplishes the same thing. But I don’t want to go home, because I’m getting back to work in 10 minutes. And, for that matter, I’m probably putting in some time at home, because I like what I do.

Many managers don’t understand creative work because they can do 70 hrs / week answering emails. Some folks don’t have the option of going home early. Some folks are semi-on-call even though their day-to-day is more as a “solve novel problems” kind of gig.

Calling these kinds of activities lies or fraud really pisses me off, actually. You’re being paid to be a technical creative professional. The optimally productive year looks different for different personalities.

Personally, I oscillate. I tend to have an incredibly strong couple of weeks followed by a week of low productivity. Some people thrive on consistency. I do better when I can get my brain into a semi-manic hyperfocus where my task at hand is literally the only thing I’m thinking about 24/7. That also works nicely when we have an upcoming client engagement, because I’ve learned how to trigger that mentality. That’s not sustainable though. So for other weeks I want to be plugged into the workplace but don’t necessarily expect myself to be ON to the same degree. Surfing on HN or whatever gives me creative juice for the next up-week.

I’m lucky enough to have a boss who understands this dynamic. Even folks that understand themselves well enough to be great in their jobs might still have managers who don’t get it, and punish those downcycles. If the job is otherwise great, that would be a reason to tell that “lie” that, like many white lies, is primarily a social lubricant.

The accommodation had A/C, just not in every room. I've rented AirBnB's like this. You are out all day, come home, turn on AC in bedrooms and go to sleep. Not everyone puts AC into their kitchen, dining room, living room, bathrooms etc etc.

Moderation. YouTube filters out all manner of content which we would prefer not to see (extreme violence, child abuse) and it presents both recommendations as well as search results we rely on to help us find the videos we're interested in.

These problems, moderation and search (and some would say curation), are just two examples manifested by the hard problem of trust in decentralized systems.

I have worked in several industries so I have a rather large network of contractor contacts and outsourcing services. I usually get a handful of cold requests and service offers per month, but this year my inbox has received that number of requests per week or even more. In a good economy these businesses can barely keep up with their workload, thus this probably means that things are cooling off. Asian businesses and companies that rely on them moreso due to the uncertainty of the tariffs and trade war. It feels very much like 2007-2008, although that may be subjective on my part.

I'd be willing to try something like that, but both flash and java applets are horrendously complex. The javascript restriction is because it's mostly used by us perl developers on irc and there's a few disgruntled greybeards that will actually use it via lynx or links. Closest thing for flash is shumway, https://mozilla.github.io/shumway/ which might be possible to make work but it's still got a lot of compatibility issues from what i hear.
I've booked $1,000+/night AirBnB's. You almost always get a more neighborhood feel, more interesting experience.

However, when I am working, I ALWAYS book a hotel. I just want a place to work and sleep, etc. AirBnB's are less predictable, and when you are on the road and only in the room for the night and up early - no sense is even dealing with the various check in / out procedures etc. And yes, there are some hosts who don't get it, but most do.
The ssh connection had the bonus attribute of being a secure channel to a server I owned and not subject to logging.
Having lived in apartments and houses in my younger years, it IS possible to cool the place with in window air conditioners. In fact it is almost more convenient if they are working in the common area. Put a fan in the doorway of a room with an AC unit and aim it out into the main area, problem solved! Although I do understand how misleading that would be.
The maps are hand-painted representations of the various ages. On the earlier maps, there was a lot of care, but also unavoidably a lot of handwaving. For the 0 Ma map, I don't know if Scotese had a particular time in mind? It looks like modern coastlines, which means an interglacial period. A 100 ky average would be more glacial - the Boston coast would stick out more. I suspect he simply used the current coast. The absence of the Great Lakes, suggests it's not the current interglacial. A duration-weighted average of say the last 1 My of 10-ish interglacials might fade the Lakes to invisibility. So perhaps it's an eye blink of averaged interglacials, or a recent but previous interglacial, or a map rule like "don't include transient features", or a consistency of approach (eg, disregarding flavors of data unavailable for earlier maps, except for the coastline), or ... ?
“...rest of the day” seems like an understatement. I was living in Australia at the time, never having lived in the U.S, and everyone was pretty shaken and lost for words for a few days (at least in my circle and workplace).

I'm "doing okay" as you put it under the current system, but I also feel like a slave to it. As the sole W2 employee with a family to take care of, there is no way I could or would untether myself from a certain kind of employer, even if I wanted to, because the incredibly expensive health insurance I have is so massively subsidized. Personally, I'd gladly pay more tax to get rid of the worry the current system causes. I'm sure I'm not the only one.
