Generally speaking, there are four (4) tiers of "public" data centers are on the market, ranging from essentially a big room with some alright AC and a line out, to huge, highly secure (cameras, fingerprint readers, SSAE certifications, etc.) buildings with redundant power and HVAC systems.

The higher end ones are usually newer-ish, but there are lot of older "computer rooms" that offer acceptable-level benefits for a reasonable price. Lots of legacy customers and ISPs in these rooms, for the record. You get what you pay for but a lot of older DC spaces are just fine for most users; everyone thinks they need 99.999 but most don't.

There are also re-sellers and managed services companies who take out a footprint in data centers and then lease space in their cabs, sell bandwidth, IPs, etc. Using a series of resellers you can often get around restrictions as to what you're doing -- small fry MSPs don't ask a lot of questions -- but still get a data center footprint. These are sometimes one-man shows, and their quality and professionalism are often sub-par, which is how you end up with default iDRAC creds and the like.

Check out Data Center Maps or WebHostingTalk for some examples.

It seems to be 'fixed' now, but once I was trying to translate from Hindi to Nepali (which are actually closely-related languages, think Italian and Spanish) with a simple sentence along the lines 'Ram came', where 'Ram' is a common Hindu name (effectively: 'John'), written in Devanagari with a long vowel: राम (rām).

And I gave the Hindi input in devanagari (राम आ गया), but still the Nepali translation ended up being the equivalent of 'the sheep came' (भेडा आयो), so somewhere along the line it seemed to be treating the name राम (rām) as equivalent to the English string 'ram' and translating accordingly.

So if the intermediate language isn't English, it certainly has some English-like properties....

It’s an interesting standoff because his only negotiating stance would be to refuse to accept the investment and key the company go bankrupt.

My knowledge of history is too limited to comment on either. If Napoleon was more brutal than his contemporaries, then no, he wasn't ingenious, just dishonorable.

Trotsky and his fellow Soviet revolutionaries were proud of mass murder, making them far more depraved than their peers and predecessors in Russia. The term "Red Terror" is not some term used by his opponents to cast him in a bad light. It was a term Trotsky used, to describe the murderous purges his government carried out. He advocated for the eradication of an entire class of people. He was one of the progenitors of the hell on Earth that were the territories under the totalitarian Soviet state.

This might seem shocking, but I did internals for many years and the number of networks I completely compromised via SQL Server is pretty funny. Almost all of them. sa/(blank) -- run xp_cmdshell, abuse server privileges to pivot to other servers or right to domain admin, then compromise their non windows environment with all the access. Networks still get owned this way on internals / red teams all the time. Granted we expect a company with all our personal data to do better, but they are still just a big company making the same terrible choices as everyone else :)
Mostly Christian, yes. There are some Jewish relics, and a few other items. Much of the collection is very old/rare, seriously museum-level content & quantity.

Content includes: Gutenberg Bible, first-printing King James Bible, Dead Sea Scrolls, metal-imprinted Torah, famous misprints ("thou shalt commit adultery"), jewel-encrusted Bible given by Yassar Arafat, bible illustrated by Salvador Dali, and lots of ancillary relics I don't recall at the moment. If you get a chance to view the traveling museum, do so (regardless of your inclinations).

Note that it is widely said that the WSJ does good news, but that its editorial section is considered by many to be biased. To quote Wikipedia's summary of that view, "The Journal editorial board has promoted pseudoscientific views on the science of climate change, acid rain, and ozone depletion, as well as on the health harms of second-hand smoke, pesticides and asbestos." They go into more detail at [1].

That's not a statement one way or the other about this particular editorial, but the WSJ editorial page does have a history of climate denial and I'd take their views on this trial with a grain of salt.

Non profit means no payday for the shareholders. Yes there's a salary and it can be decent but there'll never be a billion dollar ipo or buyout. The major benefit to running a business is not getting the salary but from the wealth created from OWNING the business. The capitalist class doesn't get to benefit in this instance, only the workers.

Salaries at a nonprofit can be tiny or enormous, depending on how the organization operates.

My guess is that Ghost pays competitive salaries to its rank and file, a generous salary to its CEO, and uses the rest of the money to either fund exploratory work, educate its target industry, and/or lobby politicians. That's how most nonprofits appear to work.

Quite the opposite, sometimes rebasing means you need to force-push, and not doing so wreaks havoc.

Imagine I'm working on my own feature branch, pushing regularly to remote. I make my pull request to develop, but develop is ahead of me and my pull request can't be merged. So I pull develop, rebase my own local commits on top of that, and push the result in my feature branch to remote, which contains some of my old, un-rebased commits. The push is refused, and instead either git or intelliJ automatically pulls from the remote feature branch into my local branch, merging with no problem, so it can be pushed again.

It works, but not all my commits occur two times in the history, and that's bad.

I suspect it's not git doing this but IntelliJ, but it's a popular IDE, so this can easily happen to anyone if you're accidentally rebasing commits you already pushed.

Force pushing prevents the problem, but you're probably better off not rebasing in the first place. Don't change history that also exists in another location.
I've seen something similar to this in other responses in this thread, how exactly does one get a big tax bill for your stock options while simultaneously not being able to pay them off? I'm not understanding something about the situation.
To be so gleeful in its disdain for a couple of goofy mistakes, TFA misuses the language in such a way as to perpetuate a similar sort of mistake. "So bees invented butterflies?" "...moths then transformed their existing ears..." Yuck. Sure, it's just metaphor, but this sort of metaphor has historically caused a lot of confusion about evolution. Intent is not a feature of natural selection. Atlantic readers have a hard enough time with this as it is; they certainly don't need to read this pseudo-creationist garbage.

The Obbink stuff has been on slow boil for a few years now. Part of the problem is that even ancient papyri texts aren't actually worth anything, unless they are really famous, but they are getting caught up by all the export regulations for gold and jewels (sometimes under new interpretations of law).

Obbink has made some poor decisions, but I feel that the rules have changed on his watch. Also, while "Hobby Lobby" is a fun way to denigrate the people involved here, they are actually behind the Bible Museum in D.C., probably the most important Biblical antiquities collection in the world, and were purchased for museum display.

That said, the museum acquisition team has run into export issues before, and their team was caught buying items from Saudi Arabians without a proper chain of custody (and therefore likely looted), and shipping it back to the US under false pretenses.

Not good, but a big part of it is that they have "Bible" in their museum name, and that gets all the bigots out in arms.

>The metro card in NYC is also pretty outdated, the whole metro system looks terrible but talking strictly about technology even the ticket machines are problematic, touch screens that don't work properly and so on; buying bus ticket in PABT is also a quite bad experience.

The Metrocard is what one would call a hi-rel product, it hasn't been replaced because it works (baring the annoyance of the turnstile readers which one can eventually master and never have an issue). It is being phased out now in favor of NFC and contactless card payments by 2022. It's only really recently that NFC support has become widespread in private industry anyway and most banks have resisted the same on issuing contactless cards due to cost (and little or no retailer support until recently). They are also adding a buyable in cash payment card for those that dont have a phone or credit card for the poorer folks that don't have the luxury (essentially contactless Metrocard).

Touchscreens are another fun animal. The reason many suck is because they are resistive instead of capacitance touch. They can be made far more resilient against damage/vandalism than a capacitive touchscreen of a phone where the agency would go bankrupt repairing them every day. Downside is, resistive screens do really suck.

I think the real reason was because we were confident about surpassing Rome and our own modern empires by the 1970s.

There was a certain ammount of "looking back to the peaks and we are but a shadow of the greats" meme well beyond they realized they surpassdd the Roman Empire with the use of the fallen in the west Roman empire and the use of Latin (amusingly paying no regards to the Eastern Roman empire aka Byzantium).

Now it is used for taxonomies still but the real reason for that is "Do you want to rename every system of classification and have to deal with two systems and names for thousands instead and avoid confusion in a vast body of work?". A resounding no and shudder would be the answer even if we had an undeniably "better" universal language for the purpose that didn't have any "politics" to it.

Ask HN: Move fast and break things – what happens to security and integrity?
I've been binging engineering blogs of companies like Facebook and Instagram recently. One of their core philosophies is moving fast - using continuous delivery to deploy things really quickly in production.

However, one of my big fear when releasing and updating code is maintaining security of the system and integrity of the data, which means that releases need to be done carefully.

Is security and integrity less important than time to market / speed of deployment? Or are there plenty of mechanisms that try to catch and prevent this. If so, what are they?
> Other than printing money and risking a cataclysmic devaluation

The US government would need to print an insane amount of money to have a tangible devaluation impact. Even more so when the money creation is intended to offset deflationary pressures due to a economic contraction.

Considering the GDP of the US is ~$20 trillion, I bet we're probably talking about $2-4 trillion of printed money, in addition to deflation offsets, over the course of a year before the noticeable market inflation occurs. That would be like spending the entire annual budget of the US military five times over.

The downside of all of this is that I feel like sites are now intentionally being designed to break if this kind of stuff is blocked. I used to be able to use Firefox Focus (which has tracking protection built-in) to pay most of my bills. This was convenient because I would just open up the one site in FFF, pay the bill, and then close it, with all browsing history automatically deleted.

In the past month about 3 of my credit card sites stopped working on FFF, as well as my ISP's site. Some would flat out reject the agent ("Your browser is no longer supported"), others would let me log in but then immediately tell me I had been logged out or redirect back to the home page. So now I'm forced to open them back up in regular Firefox, history and tracking included.

It's one thing to say "Don't use sites that exploit your data", but it's not like the average person really has a choice when it comes to paying utility bills.

Rebase should not be done on a large history. Merge long histories, only rebase short ones. Long histories are probably useful to see separately in the git history anyway, and it's only for a history of one or two commits that the extra merge commits begin to dominate the real commits in your history.

When in doubt, just merge. It's always safer.

Fantastic work, John. I've long wanted to build a web site just to use Ghost. ;-)

If you could figure out some way to integrate tightly with Webflow (the world's best html/css codeless site builder), that would be an absolute killer and I'd be all over it in a second (as would many others).

I suppose the problem there is that Webflow wants to be its own CMS (naturally), but it's somewhat crippled by being a closed solution.
Postmark is the best in my opinion. Stay away from Sparkpost as much as you can, the worst service I encountered.

They're shutting down accounts without any notice. It doesn't matter how many emails you sent, that you have 0 spam complaints, extremely low bounce rate ... on the first issue they're banning your account.

We used them to notify our customers when new people sign up on their portal so we included details about those users, including the website. We got JUST ONE, SINGLE .tk domain in the email content and they blocked our account completely. We were also on their Premier plan.

No notice before-hand, no warning, nothing.. they simply blocked the account and haven't activated it back even after numerous requests. They couldn't point to any document that stated their policies and what rules we should follow or why they banned us.

tl;dr. Stay away from Sparkpost, they ban your account without notice.
True. You might as well call a sphere “round”. Redundant tautologies.
This is definitely targeted squarely at the publishing industry. Newspapers that have yet to build their own CMS should seriously consider using this to power their digital presence.
