An orthographic projection onto a screen is still a projection, it is not area-preserving, so it is not perfect just like other maps.

But unlike other maps you have the option to rotate any place on the map into the center where the distortions are minimal.

Plus humans have intuitive awareness of how looking at a sphere distorts things, which is something other maps obscure.
Editorial Expression of Concern
The assumption GP made is that government deliberately planned their 100 days in office and the moon landing date to coincide. But the actual date of mission was different and was posponded last minute(literally) because of a leakage. So if the ruling party (ruling for past 5 years) really wanted the dates to coincide they would have easily scheduled the initial date to coincide.

So there is no 'factual' correctness in the comment. And adding political angle and then comparing India to Soviet based on that is unnecessary.
I personally dislike the CLI until I am very familiar with the AWS service I am learning or in early phase if using. Even then the CLI is usually a last resort. The Web UI is much more discoverable and understandable than having three terminal windows and a web browser open to figure out what to do with whatever random long ID on the CLI.

Assuming everyone, even extremely experienced AWS users like me, will just use the CLI seems like a mistake.
Tea is also a phenomenal example here since it's been so globally traded that it no longer even has a cultural identity. And then when you get into the age of sail you suddenly see a massive intercontinental trade of sugar/cotton/tobacco/coffee/etc.

I also never understood why people seem to think that a multinational corporation selling stuff to different cultures is somehow doing anything but increasing the corporation's profit margins.
Let's not confuse a suburb with a smaller city. I live in a 500k hab city, that's the hard limit for me. But it is a fully functional city, not an island of houses; I don't have to drive 16km to buy groceries.
If these systems are owned by private people then the company who designed it/deployed it is liable. If I have root on the device then it's my fault if I screw up, if I don't have root and it's just a plug and play appliance then whoever designed it/sold it can be liable. This solves the issue of "grandma buying an IoT washing machine" mentioned in another comment as the manufacturer of the machines can be sued directly without bothering grandma (besides a recall program and/or firmware update to patch the vulnerabilities).
> Cloudfront or similar should offer DDoS protection for free as a gesture of goodwill, it's good bragging rights for CF so everyone wins.

Well, it is still a lot of wasted resources (bandwidth, energy, compute) for everyone involved (ISP, CF, attacker, defender, compromised machines), so I wouldn't be so quick to say that "everyone wins".
Agreed, of course. Bringing up agency is on point, as well. I should have included that in my own comment, in short: the US has trouble being socially effective due to wonky "will power"/moral accountability bias--it cannot politically see bounded agencies, and therefore generates fails that strain the lower systems.

All speaking super generally, I guess.

Tell Apple, not me. I’d have written it myself already if such a thing were possible. Special VPNs can do this, or you can just carry a travel router, 4g modem, and usb battery pack velcroed to your ankle, and connect to it via WiFi, so that you can blackhole things via DNS or iptables.

> aside from the Chinese and India

Do you know how many different empires, rulers, internal wars and government systems China and India have gone through in 2000 years, and how many "races" and "cultures" they have?
Yes, but this isn't the language they'd use if one of the test success criteria was "no door blows out" and then a door blows out.

This is evidenced by their plan to "analyze the door and run the test again." If this were actually a test failure, they'd be "analyzing the door, redesigning a bunch of stuff, and running the test again."
Maybe what the world really needs is a FOSS Framework that implements all the features on a swarm of VPS/Hardware servers? It's really disturbing to see the web reduced to a handful of giant cloud providers who also happen to suck at doing their job
I appreciate what you're saying, but I don't think it quite applied. What I meant was that it's easy to create an architecture for an application that doesn't scale well at all. Eg - poorly sharded data, lots of cross dependencies etc. However, if you properly think through your data model and data flows and use cases, it's generally possible to create a system that is extremely scalable in all directions. This is certainly not easy, but it's a hell of a lot easier than creating some huge ai driven data slurping ad empire.
You are comparing your experience with someone who you had no idea was an abuser until later, to someone who had an extensive relationship with a serial child rapist after this became very publicly known, and after he spent time in jail for it.[1]

The details of the sex ring, the Lolita Express, the witness intimidation, even the shape of Epstein’s thing were extremely well known publicly in 2010, but Bill Gates didn’t care.

It may not be as large presently as those other places, but they're seeing higher growth rates. So it's reasonable to compare them in this report.
Keeping IPs for a short time -- 24 hours to 7 days, say -- is useful for detecting and mitigating abuse.

>s to your second point—no government today is as large in scope as say Rome, the British Empire, the Persian empire, etc.

Utter hogwash. In terms of scale and intensiveness if state powers even small nations can easily outstrip the bureaucratic complexity of any ancient empire. The challenges of maintaining a welfare state is no small thing.

And plenty of countries manage incredible amounts of diversity. India has 50 official languages on its own, and that’s ignoring dialects and weird subgroups. If things seem more similar in spite of that it’s because nation-sized economies are inherently homogenizing through creation of national languages and bureaucracies. But this is itself part of the complexity. Modern governments literally aim to educate ALL the children born within them. This would have been insane to a Roman.

If you pass that law on Day Zero, I claim that on Day One, manufacturers provide some horribly arcane command-line interface for rooting lightbulbs and washing machines, and add some boilerplate to their shrink-wrap licenses forcing customers to acknowledge that they have admin privileges on their devices.

If our bar for "decent" is the sandwiches at Pret (mentioned earlier as a contrast to the lack of sandwiches in the US), I feel like Subway is fairly comparable in terms of quality.
> I also think it's unreasonable to expect people whose job is begging for money (and whose continued employment is tied to their ability to get it) to be particularly stringent about whom they accept the money from.

For one thing, it's absolutely a fundraiser's job to be stringent about who they accept money from. Non-profits and banks are subject to money-laundering and anti-terrorism-financing laws that explicitly dictate "know your customer" (or donor in this case). You should never ever, deal with people that you're not comfortable being publicly associated with.

> If the feds let Epstein off, he probably didn't do anything that bad, right?

That's the source of this entire controversy, and a point that I vehemently disagree with. The prosecutor who gave him that plea agreement had to resign from his Trump admin post because of the backlash from his decision. Epstein was accused of horrific crimes, which there were mountains of evidence attesting to, and yet he basically walked away and the investigation just stopped.

Epstein got a deal because he was friends with people like Bill Gates, Bill Clinton, Donald Trump and Prince Andrew, who certainly wouldn't want an investigation into the nature of their relationships. Based on what's available publicly, it's absurd to argue that the Feds didn't punish Epstein, ergo Epstein didn't really do anything "that bad".

Grooming and sexually abusing minors for decades certainly sounds "that bad."
> They continued to work with someone whom they suspected of trafficking women. Not years prior, before his trial — right there in their own office. That’s beyond the pale. That’s what “tainted” means.

So anyone who interacted with Epstein while his assistants were present is tainted? Or is taint contingent upon suspicion? If you met Epstein and decided that the rumors were baseless, are you not tainted?

> Yes, Epstein’s plea deal for 13 months of prison time with offsite work privileges was a monstrous miscarriage of justice. That’s also an issue we need to fix. But let’s not pretend that this is the first we’re learning of the justice system’s heavy tilt in favor of rich people. There is no way Ito and Gates were unaware of how someone’s wealth and connections could allow them to escape justice.

I'm tired of hearing people say things like "we know the rich can abuse the justice system" and shrugging it off with "that's a problem we have to fix". Yes, those things are true, but it's the problem we have to fix. Choosing to spend your time and energy criticizing people who didn't vet their acquaintances to your high standards or accepted money from unclean sources is unproductive. Pardon my bluntness, but I simply don't care very much that various people lack the moral scruples required to avoid the Epsteins of the world. I think most people lack those scruples, it's just that most people never get an opportunity to interact with an Epstein in the first place. They are never tempted.

How exactly did Epstein's wealth and connections get him off? That's the crux of the issue. Everything else seems like a sideshow to me.
+1 for escaping the group-think.

10 years of it after leaving the valley.

There really is no comparison. Less cost, less stress, and more productive. Bonus is valley companies tend to pay the same salary regardless of the jobs on-site/remote status. Got a house with 2 extra bedrooms - set one up as an office and the other as a 'server room'.
> anything to do with ECS can cause a 3 hour, uninterruptible hang, followed by another timeout as it tries to roll back

This is the single largest problem with ECS and the fact that neither the containers team, nor the CloudFormation team have paid any attention to the problem after who knows how many years is incredibly frustrating.

And 3 hours is actually one of the better cases. 10+ hour hangs that can only be cancelled / rolled back by contacting support are joyous occasions.
Sorry, I don't understand why this is. Can you not just set up your own DoH server, or use your ISP's (perhaps automatically via DHCP)? How is that different from what happens now, except the traffic is now encrypted?
Thanks! I was going to go similar path you mentioned. Not 16-bit but in a way that is exe-like binaries and development with Visual Studio.

I just did the same thing. Being remote at work allowed me to trade the SF Bay Area for Northern New Mexico a couple years ago, and I can't describe how much happier I am. Life feels so much less precarious, I don't bleed money every time I go outside, and there's less of a crushing feeling of being stuck in the rat race out here.

I'm renting a 2 bedroom house with a nice backyard, able to focus on my health, relationships, and interests, and it's totally feasible now for me to go back to school if I want to (granted, this one is probably made easier by the fact that I don't have kids myself). Compare with my life in the Bay, where I rented a tiny, musty smelling room with no closet in a house with a serious mold problem for the exact same price I pay today while barely scraping by.

I can't honestly imagine how living in the Bay Area would be with kids -- that seems like that would be incredibly hard.

Things I do miss: incredible produce, walkability, excellent public transit, fresh produce, fresh sourdough. But now I have excellent fresh green chiles, beautiful landscapes, slightly more interesting weather, and (IMO) nicer, less-stressed people.

Optional Chaining in V8
>One of my family members paid their way through school writing papers for others... in the 80s. I don’t think this is a new thing.

It isn't. In the mid-1970s I worked in the office of a company that sold term papers to students. We had a huge catalog of them, on about every conceivable topic. And we weren't the only company in that particular business.

It wasn't a particularly lucractive business, and the guy who owned the company closed it fairly quickly. He was an interesting guy - after that company, he spent a year or so developing a solution that would fade denim in your washing machine (I worked for him in that company as well), which he sold for a bundle (at the time) to a major detergent company. Later he became a mover and shaker in the autograph/original document field.
Selling cocaine/heroin at the corner grocery shop would bring in billions of dollars of sales. Just imagine tens of millions of people buying their daily does.

Ask HN: How can disaster management do a better job with evacuation timing?
South Carolina's Governor McMaster has issued evacuation warnings arguably too early for both Hurricane Dorian and Hurricane Florence. Some residents are becoming jaded to the warnings and decide to stay behind. Is there a way they can do better?

There is obviously uncertainty in the forecasts, and NHC is doing a great job on that front IMO. What I'm wondering about is the disaster preparation systems and decision-making process. How can they keep CYA from breaking the system and moving people toward non-compliance with evacuation orders?

For example: https://www.postandcourier.com/hurricanewire/sc-residents-say-early-hurricane-dorian-evacuation-creates-hardships/article_9c595c2e-cd94-11e9-aa18-03b250756e52.html

A big one would be local jobs that pay competitively with remote jobs for SF/NYC companies.
Does the license auto-root the device? If yes, then it's an obviously dishonest circumvention of the law and judges will see right through it. If not, then the manufacturer has to prove the device was rooted if they want to pass liability to someone else.

If that still doesn't solve the problem, the media will take care of it. "Buying this smart lightbulb puts you at risk of being sued for thousands of $$$" can't be good for manufacturers and they'd want to avoid the bad press.
The ideal solution would be something that can be installed in any home router, but that's a non-starter because of total lack of home router configuration standards. Flashing a router is not user-friendly for anybody.

The next best solution would be your suggestion, but that too is not practical unless it comes preinstalled on all OSes because the average user won't even know they need something called a DNS proxy. I don't see OS vendors agreeing to preinstall it. Additionally, AFAIK, popular OSes like Android and iOS prior to some versions don't even allow such system-wide DNS proxy configurations.

The practical approach left then is to implement it in browsers, solving it at least for the most common use case on all devices. Everybody knows how to download and install and use browsers. In a discussion forum I frequent, average users ask for ISP censorship bypass solutions all the time. Since Chrome does not support DoH yet, among all the possible solutions - VPN, Tor, SSHproxy - using another browser is actually the most user-friendly, least expensive, most performant option. It helps that it's Mozilla's product because their trust perception is higher than Google/MS/Apple/VPN providers.

I feel Mozilla's taken a good approach overall within the scope of their area of expertise.
