I'm not exactly sure how you would characterize it, so I'll just project into the space you didn't see fit to fill. We are an endlessly-(infini|adjec)tive species. I have a Whitmanesque love of our species' best and worst qualities.

Characterizations are not mutually exclusive.

There's no catch clause in the universe's code to stop our most-impressive inventions from ultimately killing us, our most-creative disruptions from sundering our societies, or our most endearing traits from tucking us neatly into the geologic record.
It’s close enough.
Alright, how about I post some official government resources on this general topic:

https://www.ftc.gov/tips-advice/competition-guidance/guide-a...

The TLDR is that if the refusal to deal with a competitor helps maintain the monopoly, then it might violated anti-trust law.

Here are the main points:

"In general, any business — even a monopolist — may choose its business partners. However, under certain circumstances, there may be limits on this freedom for a firm with market power. As courts attempt to define those limited situations when a firm with market power may violate antitrust law by refusing to do business with other firms, the focus is on how the refusal to deal helps the monopolist maintain its monopoly, or allows the monopolist to use its monopoly in one market to attempt to monopolize another market."

"For instance, if the monopolist refuses to sell a product or service to a competitor that it makes available to others, or if the monopolist has done business with the competitor and then stops, the monopolist needs a legitimate business reason for its policies."

There are absolutely cases where refusing to do business with competitors, can violate anti-trust laws. It says so right there, on an official government page related to this.

This, and similar things were happening, related to railroad services and prices, related to standard oil, which is why I brought up that example.

But that government page is a more general explanation of the problem.
Nips means something similar here, it’s our only word for those small single-serving prepackaged shots of liquor. And they’re the first thing I think of when I hear “nips” without context. You can use it to mean a poured drink too, but it’s only common with older people here.

The renaming of NIPS was just some uptight busybodies that got too much attention.
$2m invested with 2% real returns is $40,000/y. So you could provide for your family but I think it would need to be pretty frugal and move away from major urban areas. (Maybe buy a 500k house and live off $30,000/y)?

That said I think semi-retire is the best bet. You have $30,000 for existence, and then go and do a gig every now and then for that foreign holiday or home repair or whatever.

No one is doing that.

OTOH, it's not PSFs job to protect developers from bad management.
It all depends on who is doing the attacking. If the attacker is a state government or someone with billions of dollars and compute to spare, ASICs aren't going to fight this losing battle.
Heck, you can buy off the ASIC miners for a few million dollars (all we have to cover is their net profit, which is pretty low)
I feel like we're talking on two different levels here.

It's sort of like how Oak was this neat virtual machine for running on a early 90s PDA prototype. Then the writers of that VM realized that they had written a really general purpose VM, cleaned it up and released the first Java.

This general of a VM (talking about eBPF now) hasn't been a first class citizen of a mainstream kernel before. The devs are taking a very cautious approach (as they should), but ultimately eBPF is way bigger than a tracing tool. I wouldn't be surprised to see nearly everything you currently do with a kernel module ultimately being allowed by eBPF too. Maybe more like emulating other OS's kernels as easily as you'd start another container.

In the old world (tm) women used to have a diary/agenda/calendar and tracked it there.
The trend is not "track everything": if you have an idea that makes women carry less stuff with them, I assure you there is a market.
their bags.

Data from those apps is really valuable from a marketing perspective.

The case with least value is selling it to P&G or whoever just to track how much market share do they have.

If you put a tracker on it (facebook, for example) you can build a custom audience on top of it and promote/sell whatever you want related to reproductive healt and/or sexuality. Not just women.

You could be a little evil and sell women tampons before they have menstruation.

You could be evil and build a custom Facebook audience with users from your app and make money selling them stuff using a retargeting bid (since they are part of your audience).

Or you could be very evit and target partners of women whe ceased to use your app for more than, say, 3-4 months and show ads for DNA paternity tests (which you don't sell, but someone else does and gives a referral fee for it).

Or you could have very, very evil and build an audience around partners of women who might be pregnant, capture the clicks to build another audience (this time yours) and sell porn, tinder, dating/e-whoring, and divorce advice for a fee. Will work because this is a retargeting list (you already marked them as your customers, so bidding will be low for the ads).
The problem I see with that is that many (most?) users are not going to go deny network access to each app.

Furthermore, what if the app tells me that it needs network access to get calendar info or something along those lines - and then actually uses the network for that -, then subsequently uses the network access to siphon off my personal info? Certainly if you had the ability to "see" what an app is doing, you might be able to catch that, but that's well beyond the grasp of most users. Better to be able to inherently trust the app because it was built by a trusted 3rd party. Certainly I agree that it would be nice to be able to disable network access to any app I felt like though.
Unproven? There were plenty of proven cancer drugs the NHS said “no” to, not because there was no data, but because they said the cost wasn’t worth it. You’ll live another 6 months? No we won’t pay $50K for that.

That's a position that's ok if and only if you are ok with the status quo. It is, in itself, a political stance.

Now, screaming into the wind is also far from ideal, but I think the answer shouldn't be "Ignore politics because I'm fine."

There are a ton of places where tech intersects with politics, whether that's in climate science, gender, mental health, medicine, art/culture, public transit (and other public shared resources), copyright, privacy, safety, etc. Strictly restricting the discussion to tech doesn't erase those intersections between tech and political domains.
From a brief survey of the cities I've been to around the world, I'm gonna have to say "not yet".

And even in a post-scarcity post-money society the one thing which remains valuable is attention.

Maybe it's morphed into a more general ORM in the 10+ years since I've touched it, but the active record pattern breaks down very quickly once you get beyond basic CRUD apps.

I mean, I don’t blame them for trying to get paid for treatment they provided. The problem is generally that these patients aren’t covered by private or public insurance at the time of treatment, correct?

I mean, someone has to pay for the treatment somehow, right?

I’m not sure what is interesting exactly about this article.

People being uninsured and unable to afford health insurance is a huge problem. Medical providers attempting to get paid for services they provide seems like what they should do.
But everyone rolls their own security. Security isn't a feature of the application, it's a characteristic of every piece of code, workflow, and practice your dev team implements. I know this sounds like a platitude, but if you treat security like something that you should only let the experts handle, you may end up not paying attention to the security properties that end up in your control.

Don't write your own crypto. That's great advice. The idea that everyone's auth needs are so standard they fit for every app just hasn't been realistic in my experience.
For off-the-shelf gear, you could definitely be right. I don't know that market very well.

As I understood Blazor as compiled business logic rather than a bundled runtime is due in a future release of .Net Core.

Nice. Yeah my life got a lot easier when I learned about `universal_newlines` changing the subprocess return type under Python 3.

The much worse case of this that I dealt with a few years ago was reading in and modifying XML files, and then saving the modified XML contents as strings in a yaml file (a keyed cache). The input XML files (which I didn't control) were not consistent about having the encoding marked, and that really made things a mess for ElementTree.

I catch your drift, but this isn’t technically true. A company with negative discounted cash flows might have a positive expected value because it can undertake a risky project that has a negative expected value. Usually this project will bankrupt the company, but occasionally it will provide a windfall. During bankruptcy, the company might not pay off all of its debts, but it can’t be worth less than 0 due to limited liability. During the unlikely event of success, the company is worth something.

If you want to know more, look up “moral hazard” and “real options”.
A more straightforward way of doing this is not to copy the app and make it more private...

How do you deny an app network access and allow it to share your data across your own devices? With your partner?

Would you also like to give third party apps access to your biometric data? Your password storage?
IT security people also have different incentives. If developers got bonuses for uptime while being compliant with all security policy requirements, while security and operations got bonuses based on features reliably delivered, you would have different results.

When you own the platform then you have complete access to data like user behavior and sales. With that (unfair) advantage you can more efficiently sell your own alternatives. This happens on every platform (app store, web search, social media, etc.) but it's problematic on Amazon because it can stifle small businesses on and off their platform.

Amazon is utilizing its knowledge of its powerful marketplace machine — from optimizing word-search algorithms to analyzing competitors’ sales data to using its customer-review networks — to steer shoppers toward its in-house brands and away from its competitors, say analysts.

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/06/23/business/amazon-the-brand...

This data is much more powerful than large retail outlets have with their store brands: “I can’t just walk into a store and say, ‘Excuse me, did you look at this brand of cereal this morning and decide not to buy it?’ Amazon has that data. They know you looked at a brand and didn’t buy it and they’re not going to share that data with any other brands.”

This is a side note, but you really think that's a good way to describe something? You sound like you found some buzzwords and wanted to make a sentence out of them.

Sure it's valid, but that was never the question in the first place.

It still has an absolute component. And in the context of this discussion (time travel) that absolute component means you will have to take the motion into account, as opposed to relative motion.

That isn't the entire point of this thread, nor is it the point of the PDF posted in the OP.

Nobody has said anything about it being a criminal offense. The relation to trespassing is literally the entire point of this thread.

>> The US government may have inadvertently stolen your money, and other people's, but they did it to reappropriate billions of dollars money stolen from citizens around the world, including American citizens. Vinnik helped intentionally steal money from ordinary people who used Mt. Gox and other exchanges, and pocketed a lot of it for himself. Hopefully some of the money the US government seized will be returned to their rightful owners one day, but who knows.

So the US stole money that was stolen and... might give it back?

It's an example of how incredibly dystopian the system as a whole has become. The individual mechanisms aren't egregiously wrong in isolation; it's the big picture that's clearly broken.
Only for 3rd party keyboards, network access is denied by default. First you have to go through settings to enable them instead of a simple dialog box (which I agree with) and then you have to go back in settings to give the keyboard network access and you get a very clear warning.

> 2. Pre-1.5 TypeScript had something called "internal modules" which were renamed to "namespaces" and are generally discouraged now. Hopefully your code is not using that feature.

Related to this, the TypeScript pre-1.0 import/export syntax for "external modules" was grandfathered in, but the semantics changed alongside the "internal modules" changes in 1.5. So pre-1.0 import/exports still mostly "compile" in post-1.5, but have very different semantics and that can often cause a lot of downstream module shape headaches, depending (and exacerbated by) the module format you are targeting.

A first pass making sure to rewrite all import/require/export statements can save you a lot of work later, even though it won't directly cause compile errors. You can get some compile errors by making sure you try to compile to a "proper" post-ES2015 module format (--module esm or --module es2015 or --module esnext even). There's also tslint rules such as "no-import-requires".
>> until they’re receiving all the company’s profit, at which point it would be as if they’re receiving the actual value of their labor

Your first comment clearly states that the value of labor is all the company's profit. ALL. You wrote it. "receiving ALL the company's profit" = "receiving the actual value of their labor". Which means, it's only possible for the airline to show a profit by underpaying labor, and therefore existence of profit = investors are exploiting labor for "surplus value." As long as you stand by the initial statement, everything that follows is crazy-talk, whether or not you're able to follow the logic of your own statements from a to b to c.
I'll give my anecdote on this:

When I used to not have any questions after the interview - I got rejected what felt like a weirdly high amount and definitely a weird tone from the interviewer.

When I started asking questions - the interviewer seemed to have a much more positive outlook on me and my acceptance rate went up.

I've interviewed a lot and there are people you have to ask questions to or else they will reject you.

This seems like such common sense to me that I'm surprised it isn't more common. At this point I think most managers are just too disconnected and don't realize how it really feels. I guess most people will also put up with a lot of pain before they go back out to the job market. I know I do.

I guess this should be motivation to me to get back to work on one of my crappy ideas that could turn into a startup ;-)

My point is that if "infrastructure as code" is your sole requirement, Kubernetes doesn't seem like the first choice. Adopting Kubernetes is not a small task, but it seems to be the go-to answer for a lot of the HN crowd.

Don't get me wrong: it's a great tool for some things. But IMO, for 80% of projects it's completely overkill.

I would say the answer to that for _any_ software that isn't under active development (you hardly ever touch it, you aren't adding new features) and _nearly_ any dependency upgrade is -- no, of course it's not worth it.

EXCEPT that by not upgrading you are building technical debt, because eventually your dependencies will be unsupported, and have a severe security vulnerability, and nobody will be providing a patch. And they'll be hard to get running on modern OS's, etc. Or some _other_ dependency will have a severe security vulnerability, and will release a fix ... in a version that only works in Rails 6.0+.

In fact, Rails 5.1 is _already_ out of support in the Rails maintenance policy, they do not commit to even releasing patches for severe security vulnerabilities in Rails 5.1. (They forgot to update the exact versions given as examples in the Maintenance Policy Guide, so you won't see it in the "released" Guide for Rails 6.0, but you can see it in the "edge" guide https://edgeguides.rubyonrails.org/maintenance_policy.html. And next time there's a Rails release, it'll be updated on guides.rubyonrails.org.)

But will it make your software faster or more reliable to upgrade to Rails 6.0? Probably not. But this is how software works now, you build up technical debt just by standing still.
