It's still much rarer for companies to contribute back to *BSD. The risk of your competitor taking what you did and making it better and not sharing back their own secret sauce is still there.
I can argue that censorship isn't OK on either? Isn't that the appropriate position?
> strong incentive

But it shouldn't be a strong incentive, right? Getting fired from a CEO position is fine, you're almost certainly set for life. I understand this is sort of a circular argument, because anyone who doesn't buy into this incentive structure won't be hired as CEO, but my point is that somebody who is willing to go along with this system isn't really behaving rationally in the normal sense of the word.

I'm not much of a windows user so sorry if it's a dumb question, but don't newer UI libraries like UWP and WinUI just act as wrappers around Win32 functions?

Like if I wrote a UWP/WinUI/etc program and disassembled it, wouldn't it just call Win32 functions in some system dll to do things like create windows, receive messages etc?

It seems the concern is that if a foreign power is suspicious that someone might be a spy, they can collect their DNA and run it against this database. If the spy's relatives are in the database, they will be flagged, and likely make it easy to deduce the true identity of the spy. This could then leave the spy in a compromised situation.

Ask HN: Uber’s Cash in Hand Position
Seems to be around 13B, so at a net loss on 1.2B with no new cash infusion, they could still keep losing the same amount of money for a bit under 3 years and stay solvent.

Is this typical of a company going IPO to raise such a large amount or is the CFO and financial team there setting up what in startup terms would be considered a long runway On purpose.
It took way longer than it should have, but recently it seems like companies have caught on. I've worked with more off-shore developers in the Dominican Republic / Belarus than India in the past 2 years.

Never understood the need for such large, low individual cost, tech teams anyways... almost always seems like a better idea to pay 2 people 200k a piece to work on something than hiring 8 off-shore developers / managers for 50k each.
I agree with the spirit of the idea, even if it might not be realistically defined or enforced.

One thing that comes to mind is how do you define "illegal" content? A huge hangup here tends to be free speech - lots of legal free speech is not legal in places like Europe - e.g. there generally isn't a concept of hate speech in the US, and in the US inciting violence literally means "lets go over here and beat these people up right now" - anything less tends not to be inciting violence. Europe tends to be a lot more restrictive on these fronts.

And if you want the bar to be "illegal anywhere", then places like China would make a lot of things illegal that everyone in the west would be fine with. If you want to say that of course we wouldn't pay attention to China, now you're back to picking and choosing countries likely based upon arbitrary metrics.
Then it would just be a matter of subverting the DNA entries (in the database). Either in the public sources, or in opposition's database. Replace the true DNA data with your agents actual data.

re: terraform, that's only part of the picture right? What do you recommend for provisioning? I assume Terraform + Packer? I looked into these a while back and they seemed good.

My only concern was that my target was very low-cost setups, and I wanted something like Packer but let me provision multiple images onto a single machine. Eg, if I just used Packer, as far as I could tell I would have to have 1 machine per image. It sounds odd, but I didn't want to pay $5*Services, especially when the number of users and load was very small. Being able to deploy in a PaaS fashion to something like Docker on the machine seemed best.

But then I was looking at Terraform + Packer + DockerSomething, and things went back to feeling less simple.

See, that wall is not a problem when you are in a duopoly. You will need to jump the wall only if your competitor jumps and why your competitor would jump if you can pocket the 8.5 billions and sell the regular stuff?

That was what Boeing and Airbus supposed to do: Sell the a320Neo and 737MAX for as long as possible and stay away from the wall. Now that Boeing screwed up, they may be forced to jump the wall and Airbus will have to follow. On the other side of the wall, they will sell the same number of planes.
I really don't understand the prevailing narrative about this lawsuit. Six4Three ran an app for downloading all your friends' bikini photos, and I don't think there's any serious argument that it's a bad thing for Facebook to shut that down. Why should we trust their selective leaks?
They would of course extinguish competitors' products.

Why should we provide toolchains for you to download, just use this... . No, no, you don't want to use your own choice of middleware but the one we preconfigured in the VM... .

What they would gain from this? Rent, obviously. No, no, making this work with the offline software you bought is complicated (because we want it to be), just paying our monthly subscription is much easier...
I don't think there is any reason to do it overnight, so why would they do that? It would make more sense to pay off bonds as they mature.

Redundancy. Failure should always be an option. Specific answers will depend on your stack. Nobody will be able to monitor and react like you will because all IT solutions are their own species of butterfly with their own intricacies. If uptime is really that important you might be at the stage where you need to take on an employee.
How could a private company impose censhorship when none of them are allowed to use violence? They could only ban certain types of behaviour on their premises, right? Which is not really censorship as one could just go to someone else's premises or found their own.

Disney's Creativity
> However, when the partnership fell apart, Microsoft just took big chunks of that OS/2 API and created a sub par version and called it the Windows API.

Microsoft learned from the mistakes IBM forced on them and did a better job. Right off the top of my head:

* IBM forced 80286 compatibility in an 80386 world.

* IBM forced incompatibility between Windows and OS/2 for the sake of preserving their mainframe graphics API's.

* OS/2 had a single messaging queue for the whole desktop.

* OS/2 was tied to the underlying hardware to the extent of being written partly in assembler.

OS/2 was great... I loved OS/2 2.0 in particular (and I worked for IBM testing OS/2 LAN Server for a summer)... but IBM had no idea how to address the market and no sense of how fast it was evolving.
Yes and no. You are forgetting unpaid (compulsory) on-call work and the necessity to pay administrative staff if you want to work full-time (the amount of papers is such that you can't do without).

So far from the breadline on objective criteria, yes. Far enough that people wouldn't do anything to work in another specialty or do something where you have a better lifestyle, no. So GPs are usually not doing that by choice.

OP here. Sorry about the editorialization but the original title would be extremely puzzling to the HN crowd without a medical background, and it didn't fit the space constraints for titles in the first place. Moderators, feel free to change the title to something more acceptable (I didn't manage to find a readable headline by leaving out words).
I went more minimalistic and added SVG badge support in the form of a Django template and a couple small python functions.

The template: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/healthchecks/healthchecks/...

And the function for rendering the template: https://github.com/healthchecks/healthchecks/blob/master/hc/...

One funky thing there is the measurement of text width. The width of the badge depends of the width of the text you put into it. I simply measured the width of each individual alphabet letter, and use that to calculate the width of a string. It's not super accurate, but works fine in practice. It was a fun weekend project.

Yes, Dallas and Houston are both pretty decent and diverse cities for tech. Dallas still has some old country money people, but has become much more liberal these past few years as people from out of state are moving there.

My prediction since windows 8:

- windows moving to metro, to get its users used to much simpler GUI elements

- embracing open source and move nt kernel to linux kernel, reducing the costs of development
- slowly move its on premise infrastructure to the cloud (office, exchange)

- move windows to the cloud and leave only smaller part local, just to pick up network (and potentially some other devices like graphic card)

- stop developing/selling locally installed windows and move to subscription based in cloud infrastructure

We will see if Satya is stellar or just devil. I have moved after 20 years of system developmeny on Windows to Linux. We will see what will happen.
I have been using IA Writer too, but it doesn't support GitHub flavor markdown. So sometimes when I take content from IA Writer and paste it into GitHub (or even Discourse) the formatting and specifics are off or just not working without massaging things a bit.

>I think part of the right to free speech is the right to be able to choose what speech you consume, i.e., everyone has the right to free speech but nobody has the right to impose upon you.

You can think this, but it's not borne out by legal precedent. Odious speech is protected in public spaces, so if the KKK wants to impose their speech on my by disrupting my morning commute they have that right as long as they get a permit.

And if an anti-abortion activist wants to shove gory images of fetuses in the face of everyone going into a Planned Parenthood to get their prescriptions refilled, nobody stops them from doing that either.
Installing atom or Vscode is ridiculously easy, what’s with this obsession that things need to be available out of the box? Perhaps it’s just my conditioning, but I automatically trust software that ships with a windows machine less than any binary I install myself.
Let's make an open-source virus while we’re at it? Your target audience is very small, you're not going to get much help, and you'll be exposing any undiscovered vulnerability to state entities that have the resources to exploit them at the cost of the operator's freedom. Open source only works if you have a healthy number of eyes working on it otherwise you're better off with security through obscurity. Think of how many people work on the linux kernal and how bugs are still found all the time
And as an aside, I think the long-shifts thing is a slightly different case. I've talked with doctors, and one pointed out that a big threat to patients is information loss during handoffs. The more you change shifts, the more information gets lost.

It's similar to how we developers will often keep working on a problem until it's solved. That's especially true in incident response, where the same people tend to keep working on an issue until it's solved, rather than saying, "Oh, it's 5 pm, I'm going home; somebody else can figure out why the site is down."

That's not to say doctors have the right balance now; they definitely have a macho-culture problem where people tough it out when it isn't necessary or beneficial. But it's definitely not as simple as I thought at first.
Airbus has similar long-standing issues. On ground / airborne detection logic was broken in 1993 and is still broken in 2019, to a point that it can cause loss of flight controls.

Boeing, in contrast, uses simple radar altimeter. Whenever altitude reads 10 feet or less, the aircraft is considered to be "on ground" and things like thrust reversers become available.

I personally avoid praising or preferring Airbus when bashing Boeing. Who knows what else is under that rock too.

Not from the future, but for the future: In 30 years from now (2050) we should be carbon neutral in order to have a shot at the 1.5° C target. Average building lifetime is >30 years. So in my opinion it would be irresponsible to build anything else than a passive house or a zero energy building today.
There is outright censorship, or rather removing topics that the owner of the platform doesn't like, and then there is the much more serious problem of creating echo chambers for the users where dissenting opinions are not deleted, but hidden.

It is a difficult to recommend a small package that is GPLv3, since your entire app would have to be licensed appropriately (since it runs in the same process).

For projects like Blender, where development is a self-reinforcing ecosystem I appreciate what the GPL does, here not so much.

> Also, it is basically white countries telling Africa to stop having children.

Birth rates in europe + descendant countries, china, korea, and japan are already at stable or slightly falling levels. So this is more like asking Africa to make the same pro-stability adjustments others have made already.
So no specialized platforms that cover a single topic or area? After all, then they'd need to delete off topic posts. What about user moderators deleting things? What about a mailing list owner enforcing guidelines? Or is all public online communication one giant unmanaged and unstructured sets of posts on everything and anything? Or, in reality, nothing but paid advertisements.

edit: What about downvoting? Does that not count because it's by users? However the algorithm for ranking and matching is controlled by the platform, does that count as censorship since it will promote some posts over others?
FreeNet would disagree.

Plus, from ActivityPub / Fediverse land there's a handful of folks looking at doing both by clever use of OCAP, encryption, and content addressing routing to have both privacy and an open network (sneakernet compatible too).

There's a whole history of peer to peer networking that died in the late 90's and early 2000's that most software engineers in the valley are too hip to learn and care about.
So that's exactly the analogy they wanted to use. The point is that "national security threats" can be a serious danger, but if you claim something small is a "national security threat" too many times then it starts to lose its meaning and urgency.

I recently had to take my own advice I am about to give you, so while I say it, I 100% recognize it is much easier said than done sometimes.

The advice is simple honestly, keep things in perspective and don't stress over something you have no control over, just take actions you can to address it. The first part of that is the most important and part I forgot recently myself. Keeping things in perspective is critical, if your priority is your relationship with your wife and your primary job than that's where you focus your thought energy. Take a deep breath and put it in perspective, nothing Google or your side project can do should make you ruin those other two things.

The second part is in business you have to learn to let go of things you can't control. Now, that doesn't mean you don't take action or address it, but don't allow it to consume you because if it does you won't be able to address it and you'll make rash or bad decisions. Again, easier said than done, but if you keep things in perspective then part two is easier. It would be harder, but still the same process if your side gig was your primary income and you relied on it to pay the bills.

I am not trying to minimize anything, but it really is that simple overall. Accept those things you can't change, change those things you can and focus on your priorities. BTW -- accepting things you can't change doesn't mean you give up, just recognize you might have to do things differently to get around it. But you likely won't win against Google if you confront them, doesn't mean you shouldn't be digging and appealing, but I'd also be making other plans. See why the suspended it, was it a TOC violation etc, and fix it or adjust strategy.

Last point (and to your question more directly), this just happened so take a breath, don't knee jerk react this instant and give yourself a little bit today to clear your mind. You can't fix this is 15 minutes, and while important it isn't emergent since it is only the ads, so go take a run, go to the gym or do whatever you do and clear your head. I personally hit the beach, get in the water or get on the water (boat) or go work on a personal physical project (building something etc).
