Have you thought about using tools like http://www.webmin.com/ or https://cockpit-project.org/ ? They are thought for managing servers, but they might also work for desktops. Also I wouldn't be surprised if tools like http://yast.opensuse.org/ offered a web GUI.

Furthermore, for a web based terminal, thanks to https://xtermjs.org/, terminal.js and friends, there are plenty of products available nowadays. Maybe this helps for starting a web search.
Not OP but I know a bunch of South African makers who'd love to be using Stripe instead of our alternatives.
Weird claim indeed. Arab spring was triggered by Mohamed Bouazizi setting himself on fire in Tunisia. It’s interesting this is often forgotten now
Totally agree. I implemented stuff like Paypal and Adyen. Bit of a horror show. But even Stripe's API has some gotcha's.

I documented how I implemented Stripe for the SaaS I run quite extensively at https://blog.checklyhq.com/our-stripe-billing-implementation...

>motivation is utter ridiculous!

Chinese retaliatory arrests are typically calculated, i.e. the two Canadians detained in response to Huawei were arrested by the Ministry of State Security and fit all the profile of being spies (ex government employee working for NGOs & North Korean connection). The Canadian drug smuggler expedited for death sentence after he repealed was convicted in Canada prior for smuggling as well and basically trolling Canadians who thought China was lax on drugs and rule of law. There's also a Canadian coup detained under espionage years prior. During Senkaku incident, a few Japanese employees at Fujita was serendipitously arrested for taking pictures of a military base which the company confessed to as an accident. Then you the drama behind exit VISAs which basically sums up to corruption, espionage, dissidents. The common thread behind these arrests is that the motivations are typically non trivial or ridiculous.

Shortly after the Huawei arrests, the hysterical Canadian media was blowing up routine / administrative arrests: a political dissident who got held up at the airport for a few hours during a flight transit and a Canadian teacher whose VISA expired. After it was noted that detainment levels has not elevated and in the teacher's case, govern officials had to go out of their way to clarify that the arrest had nothing to do with Huawei.

This pilot arrest is interesting though, the excuse is... extremely weak, yet there's political motivations because China is pissed at Fedex for diverting the Huawei package a while ago. Still it's very strange they went out of the way to arrest him in Hong Kong, if they have to nab a Fedex employee on flimsy grounds, why not just do it on the mainland. Also why do it so close to 70th anniversary - it's just very... not smart timing.
Using the service is generally an acceptance and agreement to the terms of service.

A similar analogy is that I may not want to read my credit card bill, that doesn't eliminate the responsibility I have to pay it. Or, I may not want to read my visa card notice they send informing of a change in the APR or other conditions for service. however, my continued use of the card is the standard way one accepts new or changed TOS.

Maintaining ignorance doesn't excuse the actions.
Do the workers then have to be considered as an employee of the coop as per the co-op law? We are running into that issue. Our freelancers are all over the world and we cannot figure out if they have to be reclassified as employees of the coop.

You are conflating the general use of the word asset with the specialized meaning with in finance. You can't sell your education back for currency and you can't put it on a balance sheet.

You could and people have tried to make derivative securities to commoditize people's educations and then you could try to literally sell your education (or more like future returns on your work based off your education) but until you do that it's not a liquid asset.
This story is an example of why "mainstream media" (The big 4 outlets) need to have all of their major and minor publications banned from this site going forward or be reduced to being allowed to post 1 or 2 articles per week, tops.

When I come to HN, I come here to learn about some cool doohickey someone is working on or a study that someone published about a different approach to security. I come here to learn about a bitcoin heist or something novel and new and most importantly, to learn from the comments. Lots of interesting people here with interesting views to contribute.

I don't come here to read about MIT flamebait; there's no in-depth study to read, no conclusions to draw, just a re-hash of CPI numbers which are at best horribly inaccurate, aside from the name, this might as well be a short novel. Worse, we're re-hashing something that's already there; CPI Numbers. This article is utter trite and a total and complete waste of time.

Then, the entire community begins discussing this Trite, which lets be honest, there's some interesting studies and observations in the comments but at the end of the day, the discussion has no direction or conclusion and that is dangerous because it invites an scopeless conversation. We should be talking about how this professors study is or is not accurate or interesting sidebars, which is useful to the professor for feedback and to the reader for coming to a conclusion, not talking in generalities and in circles because someone at a Big 4 wants to stay "relevant" and thinks getting the geeks talking to each other about their topic is a good way to do that.

Leave the trite where it belongs; on CNN or NYT or on any big 4 publication.

We already know that the current US administration and senate majority does not care about the lives of their own citizens either. Mass shootings, police brutality, the stoking of hate crimes and the absence of a modern social safety net, withholding support to domestic climate refugees, inadequate industrial regulation, are directly killing many US citizens right now. Those deaths could be prevented but our government willingly chooses not to.

The normalizing of imperialistic murder abroad is not an anomaly; it is a core part of US identity. The US itself is a product of imperialistic murder, its crowning achievement even.

To this day US soldiers deployed abroad use the term “indian country” to designate occupied territory where they conduct counter-insurgency operations. That term dates back to counter-insurgency operations conducted by the very same institution against Native Americans until 100 years ago. What was once abroad is now domestic - such is the nature of empire.
I think most people aren't seeing the forest through the trees here.

Why do we work? To take care of our basic needs so we can have as much time as possible to live life, with the maximum ability (usually in the form of money) to do what makes us happy. Humanity has fallen into a trap where we think that we NEED a job. We need to take care of our basic needs, and nothing more unless we want to.

We're getting to the point where, if we applied tech as such, it can start to handle most of our basic needs for us. Instead of having the mindset that robots are "stealing our jobs," why not look at it as a robot has opened up a lot more time for us to live our lives? We're unable to look at things this way because humanity has not yet reevaluated the way it integrates money and technology into society. A few people or companies are allowed to control the tech humanity has invented, and we're forced to pay them for its use. Tech is supposed to make our lives easier and instead we are allowing it to make our lives harder and more stressful.

Money and labor within society need a complete overhaul ASAP. I think young people are simply waking up to the fact that their lives are finite and they can't wait 400 years for such changes to occur. It's now or it doesn't matter.
I am sorry you had to go through that, it sound truly awful. I however get so many applicants that I need to reject the majority, and that is about the simplest initial litmus test I can think of. I am rather confident that the majority are not panicking, and those that are get significant slack - I'd rather spend 10 minutes more establishing some trust and comfort if they express the need to me, than outright dismiss them. I'm too emphatic for anything less.

If it's any comfort, stage fright is something you can overcome. It's not easy, but it's doable.

The difference is that in France public hospitals do not overcharge public insurance, as private hospitals do in the US with private insurance and probably Medicaid too. Also, public health insurance is not a for profit business that aims maximizing profit at the expense of sick people. It's also easier to become a doctor in France vs. the US or get an equivalent degree from an Eastern or Central European country. France can also easily import doctors from other European countries, which lowers healthcare costs. Also, as a healthcare professional you are not as exposed to litigation as in the US. Canada seems to do ok with a very high barrier of entry for doctors however, probably because they have NPs which handle part of the doctors' workload.

As for education per percentage spending paints a distorted picture. A more thorough comparison is needed accounting for the cost of education, population size, absolute numbers as opposed to percentages. Otherwise I agree that the US has fancier, more exclusive higher education institutions and that professionals with a degree are paid much better than in France.
Salesforce bought Demandware, which was built on Intershop, and while a dominant force in ecommerce, it's also a stagnant one, sorely lacking on the content front. There have been several attempts to fix this, and none are keeping up with modern alternatives.

The admin for Demandware hasn't changed in years. Woo is nowhere near where SFCC is in terms of functionality, but with this kind of investment, the folks involved on the Automattic side are likely far more personally invested in building out an ecommerce platform around WP, certainly compared to anyone who's hired on to go spelunking in the Demandware codebase.

I thoroughly enjoyed the article. I'm against dog racing, and still am after reading the article, but it was very thought-provoking and I loved the pictures.
Nice idea, doesn't match reality though.

We do indeed have too much stuff, but too much stuff being produced. With no sign it's stopping. In fact it's accelerating.

Instead of getting what we need, we're getting what we need, in excess packaging, and having to replace it every year or two as structural components, hinges, gears and bearings are made of plastic. If that's not enough we build far larger and heavier cars, we buy far more food than we eat, fridges and freezers get ever bigger. Clothes that lasted years are now made to wear out after a few months or if lucky, a year and the rubbish bin is now a wheelie bin with 2-3x the volume, and a recycling bin or 3. Today we struggle to get all the crap in the huge bin as it's full. So is the recycling. In 1980 the old school trashcan was rarely filled, except maybe the week after Xmas.

Meanwhile industry is convincing us that some other standard bit of being human is a source of failure and sells a cream, perfume or product to mask it, or a pill or service to avoid it. Or selling us a subscription to some simple thing made complex - e.g. fruit juice, bottled water, coffee pods. Even those of us who still try to be old-school and not buy into every fad, or replace a kitchen because they fancy a new colour, end up buying far more than we did in the 80s or 90s as the world is now built to make it unavoidable.

I'd love to see the merest hint that people are even thinking about not wanting more stuff...

GKE is just as "free" as DO, in that you only pay for the nodes you actually use (those nodes are probably a bit more expensive, admittedly). EKS is the outlier in this trio in that you also have to pay (a lot) for the master. Could you clarify what GKE could do to "follow suit"?

It makes it extremely difficult to legally be a tech firm unless you're already a tech giant, just like the FDAs procedures make it impossible to invent a new drug unless you're already an established, giant pharma company.

None of the big names in tech will have any trouble at all complying with this; I'd be very surprised if any at all are not already compliant today.

At the same time, the percentage of tech startups that are already compliant with this law is likely around zero, and few will ever become so. Unless this is precisely what your startup is about, small firms, especially with venture funding, can't afford to invest anything at all into privacy beyond the surface. If your startup fails because it gets sued into oblivion, that's no worse (and way less likely) than it failing because nobody actually wanted a chat app for dogs.

It is quantifiable, but it's not easily attributable. That is, you can tell that e.g. New York used up 104 terawatt-hours in one year[0], but it's harder to tell what this energy was used for - and, given telecommunications, how much of it was used to fulfill services around the world that just happen to be using a data center in New York.

Price isn't good approximation either, as it's pretty much arbitrary - prices are determined by trade, fluctuate all the time. Regular people only see a smoothed-out, low frequency version of that.

This law's implementation is bad for the same reason GDPR's implementation is bad: the people it's meant to target are easily capable of complying (and likely already do) and it's good for "the people" on paper, but disproportionately affects (hurts) small businesses that don't have the means to comply (or even know if they're properly complying to the extent of avoiding a lawsuit).

in dev: You can setup dependencies without worrying about underlying os. So it is easier for building a new dev machine, adding a new team member, etc.

in prod: as you may know, for isolation and horizontal scaling. Easier roll back and update?

Their feelings will be affected and rightly so, it is a tradegy. However the feelings of a few people about an error can not be the single parameter to decide if drone strikes are used. War have casualties.

What about the feelings of the children and friends after 9.11, Charlie Hebdo, Bataclan, Nice, Stockholm, Trèbes, Paris, Liège and Strasbourg? I could go on. Of the 24 jihadist attacks in the EU in 2018, 10 occurred in France, four in the United Kingdom, four in the Netherlands, two in Germany and one each in Belgium, Italy, Spain and Sweden. In 2017, a total of 62 people were killed in ten completed jihadist attacks in the European Union, according to Europol figures. The number of attempted jihadist attacks reached 33 in 2017.
